I have never heard this man. He is wonderful ❤️
Do your ears a favor and listen to more of him. But always listen to him live. His studio albums are great, but live is where he really shines. Not just that amazing voice, but he has such a magnetic stage presence. He loves his fans and interacts with them throughout his concerts all the time. Add to that the fact that he has no ego. He just loves to sing and entertain and it shows with how happy and comfortable he is on the stage. He doesn't just sing the songs, he lives the songs. If you want to hear the best of the best, then look no further than our John Farnham.
He can sing rock, pop, ballads, power ballads, gospel, opera, hard rock, R&B, swing - if a genre exists, John can sing it. And if you don't know by now - always listen to John live.
Well said@@Bobbygirl63
Do yourself a favor and watch more of the concert. It went for a couple of hours, and he just knocked every song out of the ballpark. He's a great showman and an even greater guy, an Aussie legend.😊
I hope you will find time to check out more of our Aussie Icon. I'm sure you will grow to love him as much as us Aussies do
And this my friend was one of two encore performances after a 2 1/2 hour show.... What an entertainer was our legend John Farnham...can't thank you enough for reacting to him and other Aussie artists on your channel. Sending love from Australia. 🦘🦘🦘
Hey lovely.. He actually did 3 encore performances (this, Sadie and It’s a long way to the top) but hey they’re all fire!! ❤❤❤ 😊😊
@@Dr_KAP Oh I had forgotten Sadie.....but then, unlike millions who love it I actually hated it lol. Not John just the bloody song lol.
@@justlinsu - do you not have heart, not even for novelty songs about how women had to earn a living when jobs were all done by men ? 1967.
@@MsLizziebeth1 🤣 Oh for heavens sake....are you serious?
@justlinsu - 😁 half. Sadie was a product of its time (spoofing the 1967 reality), cutesy, and oc not written by Farnsey himself, he was just the vocalist. But if you listen carefully, you can tell his talent even back then on THAT song too. His young voice was like high-pitched honey, perfectly & effortlessly hitting each note. He sold the meaning and point of the song like a really good actor. My heart certainly opened for him every time I heard him reprise it, esp together with the Melb Symphony Orchestra version, where he sent himself up! It's a core part of him, what it took for him to become what you say you like now.
John loves it when the crowd joins in. He appreciates his fans and is a very down to earth and humble
John Farnham live is amazing. Vocally, his performance of Amazing Grace with 2 of his backup singers gives me chills.
Now that's how you turn a classic boppy pop song from the Beatles into a vocal masterclass and totally rearrange it and make it your own. Believe it or not ...
Yes it was the Beatles song Help. Almost unrecognisable after John puts his spin on it and turns it into a gut wrenching ballad and a totally beleivable cry for help.
And now it belongs solidly to the Voice...Mr John Farnham .
Those beautiful heartfelt lyrics totally got lost in the Beatles original recording but John bought them to life and gave them the depth they deserved ❤❤
OK let's admit it, John Farnham's the GOAT. John Lennon said this is how the song was always meant to be sung. When he wrote it, it was a cry for Help and never meant to be upbeat and preppy. The Beatles were pressured into recording a faster version.
If you RUclips “John Lennon help demo” you will hear Lennons recording of the slower tempo 😀
@@Katrinagaming-en1os Thanks a lot. I saw him sing a slower version not long before he died, when he was in his New York apartment. Maybe it was after he saw the John Farnham version. It was in a documentary that I haven't been able to track down.
His covers of Led Zeppelin's "Black Dog" and AC/DC's "Long Way to the Top" (with the same orchestra) are phenomenal.
John Lennon when he'd heard this said it was the way the song should be sung, he was a fan of the way Farnsy sang it as he'd been singing like that for decades
Thanks for the great reaction. Love this slowed down version of help a lot more then the original. What’s better then having the voice John Farnham sing with an orchestra behind him. This performance is just insane
It is the Beatles help, just John’s arrangement, he’s the greatest Australian vocalist, that’s why the world knows him as ‘the voice’
Pure John Farnham,no tweaking with electronics,no lip syncing,just the voice. We might never hear him sing live again but we have so many wonderful “old” ones to listen to.. attended a few of his concerts up to a few years ago and even at 70+ he was just as good. A wonderful human bei;g and one of the best ever singers.
John Farnham is one of the GOAT's vocally..🥃
Of course the crowd know the words. First off it’s a Beatles classic. Secondly, it’s John Farnham. Our John Farnham.
It's John's arrangement if the Beatles song. Slowed right down, it suits the lyrics better than the original. Thanks for the reaction. No doubt about it, John is the best.
I read that when Paul McCartney and John Lennon wrote this song it was supposed to be slow, it’s about a person dealing with depression so why make it fast but
the studio would not allow them to record it slow. The studio made them record it faster. That’s the power of the studio. They own you and your music.
The first cover of this song was by Deep Purple. They recorded it more in line with what Paul and John wanted.
John Farnham released his version several months before John Lennon was killed. Paul and John both knew about it and were able to hear it. Some said Paul called it the best version but others say something else so it’s really unclear to me what they each thought
about it. I haven’t seen a clip of Paul or John talking about it.
Respect my brother. We love Farnsy here in Australia.
Yes it is the song you were thinking of, just a different arrangement.
He is the GOAT. He isn’t just the voice, but he has a massive heart, he is funny, kind, down to heart and an embodiment of what it is to be Aussie. Can never appreciated enough, and I love all the RUclips reactions discovering him. ❤❤
That is our John. It was also after more than two hours of that voice singing.
He sang this about 38 years ago and he is recently getting over mouth cancer. He is around 75 years old and has sung with legends like Olivia Newton John and Celine Dion and the like. Another great song from this concert was 'The Voice' and he is now known in Oz as "THE VOICE". He can sing any genre and has a 3.5 octave range.... He is sooooo loved here and such a gentleman and a legend.
that was the last song of a 3 hour concert and he still had that power
Thank you again. No words. What a voice. Luv from Australia ❤️🎼❤️🎼❤️
The voice. The legend!
Yes it was John's arrangement of the Beatles song Help he tweaked it and then perfected it.
I’m in Aussie I’ve always loved John’s voice and I got to see him live he was just bloody amazing Aussie royalty here in Aussie
Thank you for doing this and Makeiya for the Jump the line!! John is one of my all time favorites!!!
Now you have the Aussies storming the channel :) Try Amazing Grace next!
This was a fantastic reaction to the G.O. A.T. of Goats. Our beloved John 💖❤️🥰💕♥️
Thank you for listening to John, aka The Voice as we can him in Australia 😊 This performance is just perfection and I never get tired of watching it 🥰
"You could hear a rat pee on cotton"... that is the funniest response I have ever heard to describe the admiration, love and respect this crowd gave to John when he comes back in after the sax solo 😅😅 They knew what was coming and did not want to miss anything 😉
I hope you listen to more of John. He is an incredible performer and human being. Thank you 😊 ❤❤
Here's another Aussie commenting on your reaction to John. Thankyou. Australia produces some of the best singers, bands and music you will ever here. And John is on the top of the pile. I just adore him...❤❤❤
Welcome to the rabbit hole that is John Farnham please enjoy you won’t be disappointed
The fact that the crowd helps sing help is just the genius of john farnham
Love love loveJohn
One of the best and most versatile male vocalists I’ve ever heard… 💯
I have watched hundreds of Reactions to this song and think your's is one of my very favourites. Thanks
Absolute Aussie superstar, unbelievable voice, great showman and just a bloody beautiful human
You need to listen to John sing with Jimmy Barnes doing when something is wrong with my baby, will blow your mind!
John is the greatest and most versatile male vocalist of all time and this remake of the Beatles classic song was John’s arrangement of it. Once you go down the John Farnham rabbit hole you’ll be there for a long long time, with over 50 years of John’s music to discover.
John Farnham is my favourite male singer and an Aussie icon. And to think he sang that song at the END of his concert and still raised the roof. He's a legend and a very humble man.
Remember, that was the encore after a 90-minute show, where he sang his socks off.
I get goosebumps as soon as the crowd starts singing at the beginning.
You had this Aussie 😂 laughing hard this brother dressed like Orlando Bloom pirates of the Carribbean and i aint mad at him😂❤❤Our gorgeous John in the fab eighties.
It absolutely is the song you were thinking about.
Welcome to the rabbit hole of Aussie artists ❤
Yes, it's the Beatles song you were thinking of, but John did his own arrangement and made it his own. He does that a lot and sings a whole bunch of genres. It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Want to Rock and Roll) from this same concert is a high energy cover of the AC/DC classic.
This concert was advertised as John and his Big Band in typical Aussie understatement, it's a 100+ piece orchestra for crying out loud. lol
This song is one of the last songs that he would sing at the end of the night after he had already sung his heart out for nearly 3 hours.
Some have pointed out that this particular recording of the concert was closer to 2 hours of actual singing during the TV special, but it was also on the 4th or 5th night that he had sung like this.
Either way, it was one of multiple nights that he did this on January 4-10, 1989, so his voice is still worthy of the accolades.
Not many other singers can belt like that for even 2 or 3 nights without a rest.
And besides picking at the exact details or this exact performance, Farnsey also has a way of getting deep into the emotions of your soul.
A couple of songs worth checking have been mentioned below, plus these are worth a look also.
The reason you haven't heard of him is because the US music industry is a closed little club. When John Farnham went to the US they didn't know which genre to put him in so his US promotions manager got him a couple of gigs in a little jazz club, where the MC introduced him as Jack Phantom. Couldn't even be bothered getting his name correct, so being a bit disheartened he wandered home to concentrate on his loyal fan base. The experience did give him inspiration to write a couple of good songs about missing his family, like this one.
-Burn For You..

-Angels..
Notice how he holds the mike below his chest, both mikes are a metre away, which he does all the time to not drown out the other singers.
JF with Lisa Edwards, a top singer in her own right, and one of John's back up singers for 20+ years.
ruclips.net/video/5_2NJRIdBO8/видео.html
-Amazing Grace..
To show the calibre of his other back up Singers, showing you have to be good in your own right, just like Lisa.
This is Vanetta Fields and Lindsey Field.
ruclips.net/video/_x6N94OEkZQ/видео.html
-Please Don't Ask Me..
This one with Olivia Newton John, who we have recently lost. John has also had major cancer surgery including removal of part of his jaw and we may not hear him sing again. So let's enjoy this one as well..
Edit- JF has announced he is free of cancer, but has not mentioned anything about singing again.
ruclips.net/video/2uV_tZODfK8/видео.html
-When Something Is Wrong With My Baby....
And even when he is singing with one of the most powerful voices on the planet, Jimmy Barnes, he still put the mike away from his face and closer to Jonny Diesel on guitar.
ruclips.net/video/AU_bCchDWF4/видео.html
Or this version.
ruclips.net/video/RAlFHSPLHpo/видео.html
-When The War Is Over…
Possibly one of his greatest vocals.
ruclips.net/video/lfWrXc5eN8g/видео.html
-Or is the greatest.
Gethsemane..
ruclips.net/video/k5woMZtClhI/видео.html
-How about a mike test.
He has the power and ability to distort microphones, amps, and get speaker stacks jumping. So this sort of setting up the venue test is a must. Lol
Black Dog.
ruclips.net/video/F2Yi6TVi-sU/видео.html
Besides having the best voice ever, JF can adjust his tone, pitch, volume, to match the person he is singing with to either match them or sing just under them depending on who's the head line act, he will even back himself down when he is the head line to give others their moment to shine, and if my ears were sensitive enough, I wouldn't be surprised if he could vary his vibrato, timbre and all of those other things that voices can do so he could accentuate the other singers.
You chose well for your Chritmas in July gift to self.
Aussie legend right here
Thanks for reacting to John. You are my favourite youtube reactor 😊
When John Farnham takes the stage, Elvis leaves with his tail between his legs.
"Dressed like Pirates of the Caribbean ... and I ain't mad at him." LOL
Love John ❤
It is the same song you were thinking of. Just a totally different arrangement with a hell of a lot more feeing
Amazing grace by him and Vanetta Fields and Lindsay Field is amazing
It was the same song as The Beatles just slowed down to really feel the lyrics and John’s vocals breathing it into a new life 🥰😍 I remember watching this on the telly and, recording it on the VCR to watch for a lot longer than I’m willing to admit to 🤭😂…but it was always good clean fun that the whole family enjoyed in!!
Welcome to the rabbit hole as we say here
6 decades of bangers every song and genre
He sing equally as good even collaboration
With many famous entertainer's from around the world
He's named the voice because his versatility
Rock ballards theatre opera blues just a few all as good as this performance
About the only thing he never did was rap
Glad you've found him you wont look back
Also he just as nice as a person and could've been a comedian as a character
He's from working class just your every day joe and rarely travelled out the country
Because didn't want to drag his kids all over the world and wanted them to enjoy a stable family life like he grew up in
John hated being on the road away from He's family
Freddy mercury from queen picked john to replace him before he died as he said one of the best voices and performers relating to the words
But john declined for family reasons and the love of He's country and its people
It was rare for him to go overseas and most international artists came here to sing with him and tour the country at same time
But most came to sing with him as musicians and other singers from here who did go oversea told others about him and soon as they herd him wanted to sing with him
Cheers mate 🦘🇦🇺👍
Watch the documentary 'Finding The Voice' from 2023 as his life story. John's been singing since the 60s and he's never had singing lessons, he's naturally gifted - Australian legend 💜 'the voice' is his Australian nickname
Vocal masterclass right there ❤❤❤
Watch his version of the Beatles “ Help”. It was sung at the end of the same gig which lasted 3 hours. We do love him because he has a very warm, cheeky personality as well as his exceptional talent
That is the song you were thinking about in the start of the clip. His version of the beetles song but your reactions when John hits those high notes and your eyes opening wide is priceless. I get chills everytime I hear this song. Do yourself a favour if you haven’t already done so and listen to him and Jimmy Barnes singing “When something is wrong with my baby” 2 of the greatest voices you will hear and together they are magic. Then you will be stuck in an endless loop of Farnsey and Barnsey videos. Including Jimmy Barnes and Joe Bonamassa playing guitar hat will blow you away called Stone Cold!
More more more Farnsey!!! Luv from Auss 😊
If John hadn’t been such a great singer he would’ve been an equally successful standup comedian
I notice that you have a picture of the great man Elvis. Elvis is my favourite singer/performer of all times followed by our wonderful Aussie legend John Farnham.
I love him so much. Love your reaction 😊
You are fast becoming one of my favorite reactors! You make me laugh every time I watch you.
The chap on the piano has a couple more Oscar nominations than Orlando Bloom ... 😉
Best version of this classic song ever!
Quiet as a mouse peeing on cotton! I am going to use that one! Hilarious!
My dad and uncle were friends with him ... also went to same school...... Johnny even walked my dads girlfriend to school...amazing singer..
You get me so tickled I can't stop laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣 You put me in a good mood 😊
❤❤❤❤❤ John Farnham here in Oz.
Beautiful version of this song.
This version is on 👉
Yes it is the song you were thinking about. Here's another version you need to hear for your own listening pleasure. ruclips.net/video/XVK-P2YIDkE/видео.htmlsi=k4c7PjiKySBaZUiu
Mate …. It’s “Mel-buhn”.. like Mel-BUN… not Mel-BORN… I have been obsessed with you and your TS vids .. SWIFTED OUT is my favourite verb lolol… and now you are watching our beloved John Farnham 🩷❤️♥️.. I can’t explain to you how much we love John. This concert was decades ago. He has recently recovered from losing a section of his jaw from throat cancer… who knows if we will ever hear him again - but we will love and celebrate him forever and ever. I hope he knows. Thanks for your AWESOME channel, and keep up with the Tay Tay content xxxx
Your face & eyes said it all
As an aussie id recommend Marcia hines our queen of pop. American born but our Aussie star. Her voice is incredible
Love this video! Just subscribed!
John Lennon said that he actually wanted "Help" arranged as a ballad. John Farnham aced it.
Sir Paul McCarthy himself said that this is the way John Lennon won’t his song be be sung this way
Those in the know call Australia " Barnem land" jimmy barnes will blow your mind and john farnem will break your heart. Put em together and you get a miracle
John is the best
Awestruck
Boom! 🎤❤xxx
Oh and it IS the song… Paul McCartney loved John’s version ❤️
your Orlando is the amazing pianist and composer David Hirschfelder.
❤
aussi aussi aussi...
This is John's arrangement
Just so you know… this was the last song of a 2 hour show
Try John Farnham, Anthony Warlow & Olivia Newton-John your the voice they are 3 great Australia singer
Beatles
Johnny is the best...
It's 1980s
Yep the same song but very different
Ive viewed many of Johns reactions to this song, and no one has come close to the spiritual reaction as you have. I dont believe Johns reaction at the timing of 7:35 sec is a premeditated. That is a spiritual thing.
Look at his microphone placement. He doesn't have to swallow it like many singers. He has it down near his chest!
Dude slow down ... :) :)
