    John’s vocals are just on another level, he is one of the all time greats yet his name doesn’t get mentioned in the top 50 of Rolling Stones magazine etc. what’s incredible here is his age to, not bad for a dude in his 50s

    Thank you for your comments and appreciation for this beautiful human being. I grew up listening to John Farnham, and although I loved his songs, and thought he was a good bloke, never really appreciated his exceptional talent, way back then. The last wee while, listening to reactors, such as yourself, with knowledge of the craft, has been enlightening, and utterly joyful.

  • @kennethdodemaide8678

    From a teenager of 18 to this performance at 54 and all the way to his 70's John Farnham has always been a "Great" singer....a real superstar and I sure hope the rest of the world will start recognising it. He deserves to be listed up there as one of the all time, world wide, greatest of all time performers

  • @crustydownunder
    @crustydownunder Год назад +10

    The mark of a great backing vocalist is that they do not try to compete with the lead vocalist. I was a lead vocalist, and pretty good. But I was renown for my backing vocals and everyone want me to do their backing vocals, because I always made the lead singer sound good. I didn't compete with them, I backed them. But for sure, that young lady probably isn't in the same category of John Farnham. At 53, he was still spot on vocally. I heard him live when he was 70 and he was perfect. Never missed a note. I love the guy.

    John was 54 here and still blowing us away with his vocals. There is another version of this that goes straight into the song by the way.😊 If you want to see something special, check out Amazing Grace which features John with Lindsay and Vanetta, two of his backing singers. Vanetta Field has sung with Barbra Streisand and Tina Turner and will certainly impress you. Loving your reactions.

  • @delwynhallett565
    @delwynhallett565 Год назад +10

    I'm an Australian, and he is the best of the best. I've been to many concerts of his, and American/UK artists, from cliff Richard in the old days, Shania Twain, Pink, Meat Loaf, and many more. But John's stage presents, voice, interaction with the crowd, music is beyond any other artists reach. Because he's natural and incredibly humble. Sings, performs for his audiences, not at them. I've even stolen a kiss on my cheek from him.
    My prayers for healing hands for John's fight against mouth cancer. 😢

This young lass knew his mum in the 60’s when he sang Sadie the cleaning lady . Her mum was once of the dancers with him. She did a good job just not a Lisa job xoxo again spot on

    Growing up in Australia I think it was easy to be overexposed to John Farnham at times. Being able to view him through fresh eyes/ears who haven’t been exposed to him before helps me appreciate him so much more

    Thank you for that and today I really needed to hear John. It is the first time I ever cried through this song but I earned it. My heart went back into a normal rhythm after 8 days but the best part is my husband had surgery today. His cancer is under control and I got to bring him home with me. I didn’t know how much I was holding onto until now. So I owe John a thank you as well. Bless you both.

  • @jonss1948
    @jonss1948 Год назад +27

    Well, what can I say about John Farnham. I've run out of superlatives to describe his amazing talent. I've pretty much, listened to everything he's done, hundreds of times and I still get goosebumps every time he reaches the upper register of his 3.2 octave range. Your reviews of John have always impressed me as being insightful and accurate as you did with this review. Very well done!

  • @LizzieRD

    I've seen John Farnham live several times. I saw him open for Lionel Richie in Sydney, John smoked him. Walked out on Lionel half way through. Careful who pick as your opening act.

  • @chop845
    @chop845 Год назад +12

    Another wonderful reaction good sir. The difference between John and 99% of other vocalists… as he ages his delivery of his vocals change. Not due to a loss in vocal capacity. He incorporates life experience, pain, sorrow, joy. He manages to take songs we’ve heard numerous times over the years and change it into a different beast. This song is a prime example. Watch a performance of this song from the 80’s and 90’s and compare that to this performance.
    If you get time do yourself a favour and check out one of those performances. You don’t need to do a reaction. I’d be interested to see if you see the same.
    As always I’m here for the ride!

    @BassMatt1972 Год назад +14

    Gives me goosebumps (frisson) EVERY time I hear it, at exactly the same places, even after 30 years or more..
    Lisa Edwards (with the baby) is his backing singer for years, with Venetta Fields and Lindsay Field.
    The beautiful backing singer replacing her (with Lindsay Field), at 7:14 is my drummer mates sister, the amazing Danni'elle Gaha.. Usually he has 3 backing singers (for the exact reason you stated, to compete with Johns talent!)
    John is a beautiful human and a legend. Currently recovering from major mouth cancer surgery, all our thoughts and best wishes are with him. (He may never sing again)
    One of the most beautiful (Australian) songs ever written, by Steve Prestwich, the drummer of Cold Chisel (R.I.P.)

    Up until a couple of months, or so, ago, I'd only heard of John Farnham's, 'You're The Voice', which is one of my all time favourite songs. It's now my 16 month old Granddaughter's favourite, too 😀 Since discovering more from him, via reactors and Spotify, he has now become my all time favourite singer, ever! I've heard many of his songs, now, and I can say, with all honesty, that I love each and every one of them. Thank you for your great reaction, to this fantastic singer. This song, brings me to tears, every time I hear it. Especially this particular performance.

    I have 40-50 John Farnham CDs & DVDs on the other side of the room that I've collected since 1980, yet I'm enjoying watching him on RUclips with like minded followers and sharing the happiness that way. The earlier records are in the garage with the casette tapes, many are 3rd or 4th purchases to sing along with. I think it's the sharing that's special.

    A magnificent song written by Cold Chisel's drummer, the late Steve Prestwich, featuring a powerhouse performance by the band (with Brett Garsed ripping the solo to shreds) and a disgrossting, dare I say - typically disgrossting? - John Farnham performance. Speedy recovery, John. Faaaaaarnsey!

    All your Aussie fans have been waiting to see you react to this performance, and you didn't disappoint. I think this may be John's best performance in terms of power and emotion. This is an Anthem in Oz, with John and Jimmy Barnes being the only ones "allowed" to sing this, and both bring sonething different to the table.

    @ariadnepyanfar1048 Год назад +8

    I’m so glad you’re touched so deeply by Farnham. I think it’s universal that people can sink into and be changed and elevated by music that they listen to. It may be different artists, different genres, that do it for different individuals, but that transportation is the same and one of the best experiences of being human.

    @gazza8127 Год назад +17

    Beautifully said, John is such a masterful interpreter, respecting the original, so often he elevates a great composition to extraordinary heights, this is one of those. Like "Help" it's universal relevance and John's incredible ability to employ his artistry to speak directly to our emotions with such sincerity, passion and humanity creates something of rare and timeless beauty.
    As a proud Aussie and an admirer of John's talents since the late 60's, not only has it been a privilege to follow his career & marvel at his immense talent but more so to see him finally receive the universal recognition he so richly deserves.

  • @realbser1956

    Anthemic is a great way to think about this song. I’ve yet to hear anything sung by John that is not next level. He makes you feel something each and every time he opens his mouth. And props to the guitarist also. He provided just the right amount of texture in the background. Another great review and commentary brother 🔥👏

You’re going to love discovering John Farnham with The Little River Band as well. This is my favourite version of this song!

    @theghost6412 Год назад +18

    Lisa is such an amazing singer on her own. After watching "Angels" where Lisa does a direct duo with him, you will notice quite quickly that when she warms up her vocals, she has the same power and intensity that John has and a near identical range.
    John can get into that feminine range as well, Watching him sing "Imagine" with Ray Charles he does a lot of ad lib as they play off each other. A couple times he is trying to reach a new note and accidentally slips into a really high pitch feminine voice.

    @ssvr3dl1n38 Год назад +10

    Thanks for a great reaction.
    In regards to your comment at 7:30 mark about the backup singer, I think it's important to point out how this highlights the absence of Lisa Edwards (the lady John referred and spoke to in the audience with the baby) as John's back-up. She (along with Vanetta Fields) was such an important and key ingredient of John's band and success. Her absence in this part of the song is an example.
