This song was a hit for John many years ago, but the duet with Olivia took this to another level. This was just one of the performances from The Main Event concert featuring John, Olivia and Anthony Warlow, a brilliant light opera singer who has performed many musicals such as Phantom. Absolutely brilliant concert. Apparently, John got permission from Jill to do the kiss - it was several concerts, so a bit of kissing!!!! It’s a perfect duet. RIP to dear Olivia.
Part of this was also something of a come back back for Olivia: after the cancer diagnosis she, apparently, didn't think she could perform. John invited her to perform in his way of always lifting people up.
They had been the best of friends 4 years growing up in the music industry in Australia, no love story here he's happy with his wife, but Olivia and John were very close and had a wonderful friendship that spanned many decades.
They are long time friends. They also sang at the Sydney Olympics together. The song was Dare to Dream. It is a beautiful song performed by two beautiful people.
Thank you for your great reaction and appreciation of our two phenomenal Aussie Treasures, John Farnham and Olivia N-J. Have you not seen Olivia N-J. sing in the movie 'Grease' ,with John Travolta?
Loved your reaction bro. Two legends who love and respect each other demonstrating why we love them so much. Should check out “Dare to dream” John Farnham and Olivia Newtown John at the Sydney 2000 olympics performing together
Love this performance, the chemistry is undeniable. Just beautiful. Oh you never saw Grease!! Your not human😂 ONJ was huge in the 70s and 80s...one of the highest selling female artists of all time...i think 🤔 Edit: just checked and over 100million album sales and 36th top female artist on Billboard top 200!
You should watch John sing this on his own from the Classic Jack concert it is so powerful you will love it . On the fan page today l see his music is back up there on the charts and his son Robert said he is cancer free happy singing and walking his dog things are looking great .
It's a piece of musical theatre between two friends who knew each other for decades. You need to review more Olivia. She was an absolute goddess with a sensational vocal range. Stunningly beautiful and a beautiful person
This was from The Main Event. It was with John Farnham, Olivia Newton-John and Anthony Warlow . The whole show was recorded almost 3 hrs long. John and Anthony singing together was as amazing as this. There is a part where all three sing together. Should check it out. Also shows John's comedic side.
Loved your reaction like always, John and Olivia were friends for 50 years. This song/performance came from the " main event concert" You want more John and Olivia, that will give you a couple of hours worth, this concert also had Anthony Warlow singing init as well. I saw this concert live in Darwin in 2001, beyond epic, you have to watch it, download it and start from the beginning, and have a marathon, you will laugh, you will cry and you will be absolutely amazed by these three legends. I would love to see your reaction to it. ❤️🇦🇺
Yes, John and Olivia sang and toured together in some phenomenal Concerts including: 'Two Strong Hearts' Tour and 'The Main Event' Tour around Australia, along with the awesome Anthony Warlow! They have also produced a beautiful Xmas CD together. Please also watch them sing together 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow'; plus 'Dare to Dream' from the Sydney Olympics 2000!
The Chemistry between these two is pure professional skill. They both know extremely well how to convey feelings and emotions into their voices and the music they want to create. It does help that they have known each other for their whole entire careers and are extremely good friends. Both Olivia and Warlow were both fresh into remission for their cancers during this concert that John had set up to get them both back out there and up on the stage and to enjoy themselves once more. All three of them legends in music. This song has always made me think of a much older love between older people who are very happily married, but know they are best freinds with what they both know is their Soul Mate. Both are happily married, but that attraction is always there and both are not interested or too terrified of hurting their loved ones so their secret second love goes heart wrenchingly unrequited with their Soul Mate, all the way to the grave.
Loved your reaction. ONJ hasd a fantastic voice. She did some awesome duets in her time. One with Andy Gibb called Rest your love on me is especially raw, then another few years later with Barry Gibb at charity events in Oz. Their Islands in the Stream is wonderful
Heheh your face after the first line - if blushing had a facial expression that'd be it. Great reaction as always - these two are so cute and talented :) I'd love for you to react to MAGIC by ONJ - Live on The Midnight Special. She's so lovely :) Her duet with Cliff Richard called SUDDENLY is also great.
Check out Olivia's song "Hopelessly devoted to you" which has come from the Movie Grease, Olivia has starred in two on screen Musicals such as Xanadu and Grease, but has been a singer since the early 70's in Australia.
Thanks for your great reaction to John and Olivia. Love this performance and we love them both. So glad to hear today that John is cancer free 💖 Thanks for the music Oli ... RIP 🥰🙏 You might like to check out songs by Olivia: Magic; A Little More Love; Twist of Fate; Landslide: Cry Me a River; Deeper than the Night; Physical; Sam; Totally Hot; Gimme Some Lovin' and do yourself a favour and watch Grease with John Travolta 😃 Actually JT appears in her video of Twist of Fate.
Aw you got caught up in the moment too didn't you lol Their chemistry is palpable which is due to this being such a gorgeous love song. They were very close for most of their musical careers and both John and Anthony Warlow (the other Australian singer who was part of this show) were very protective of Olivia as she had been though another bout of chemo, but like the courageous champion she was she shone like a superstar the whole time. Would love to see you react to more from this Main Event concert please. Love from Australia
These two people began their singing careers on Bandstand in Sydney in Australia when they where both 18yrs old in 7:30 the same year very close to the same week and have known each other ever since. I know i was watching Saterday nights.
The kiss was in the performance, NOT their personal life, they both performed and that’s why it worked. And WTF you have never seen Grease?! (from a GenX, when Grease was GOLD!) 😂😂
If you wanna hear something from John F, try “your the voice” or “Burn for you”. Try hear “magic” by Olivia Newton John or “suddenly” :) she’s done a lot of songs. Maybe try “ I need love” also by ONJ. :)
Haaaaaaaaaa. I was born in a country where tv was not a thing. Beach fishing and futbol was life. I came to the states in 91 I was a baby so lol. I will watch soon
This is such a beautiful performance by two wonderful Australia’s and two great friends. John can do anything from theatre to hard rock, any genre. John’s voice so perfect as is Olivia’s. And I think at the end John’s voice was even higher than Olivia’s. Awesome.
Please Don’t Ask Me is only John Farnham song that been released twice as a single , firstly in 1980 originally when the song sadly didn’t even made the Australian top 50 but John in 1991 released the live version with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra this recording is so good so crystal clear can’t even tell is a live version this version did much better on Australian charts making the top 20 . Please Don’t Ask Me was written by Little River Band’s founding member Graham Goble 2 years before he asked John to join LRB in 1982 . Please Don’t Ask Me is Graham’s best written song that isn’t a LRB song and he wrote some of most popular hits from LRB , It’s A Long Way There , Reminiscing , Lady , The Night Owls and the John Farnham LRB era The Other Guy , Down On The Border . Olivia’s relationship with John goes back to the late 60’s when both started out the same time in their careers in Melbourne Australia and have remained friends since. John in the late 60’s early 70s should’ve had a similar successful international career as Olivia did like breaking out in the UK before conquering the American charts . But John’s first manager sabotaged John’s chances having career outside Australia record company EMI in the UK just wasn’t interested in John . Unfortunately John & Olivia they never got perform together until this concert tour The Main Event in 1998 they had the opportunity again at 2000 Sydney Olympics opening ceremony sing another ballad Dare To Dream which was televised around the world . In 2015 John & Olivia toured again together on Two Strong Hearts Tour . The following year John & Olivia recorded an Christmas album together . And in February 2020 Olivia flew back home to Australia just to perform with John at the Fire Fight Relief Concert it was the last time both artists performed in public. Olivia’s biggest hits If Not For You I Honestly Love You Hopelessly Devoted To You Magic Xanadu Physical
Her voice was a bit rough, but she had beat cancer 2 or 3 times by then. She was in that movie, Grease, with music written by the Bee Gees. Try I honestly Love you, or down by the Banks of the Ohio. She was also in Xanadu.
It was tough to watch this, seeing our beautiful soul Olivia again. The friendship was real the love was real as honest true friends love always is.. This was John's song but they blended their voices so well. RIP our Livy we miss you honey. Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘💖💖💖💖🎶🎶🎶🎶
Olivia Newton-John WAS in the movie Grease. She has sold over 100 million records worldwide! Her biggest hit ever was Physical from 1981. Some recommendations for her would be Twist of Fate, A Little More Love, Hopelessly Devoted to You and You're the One that I Want, and Physical. Also know this song you listened to from their concert The Main Event. They did this as a trio with Anthony Warlow. A great song to listen to from that concert is You're the Voice. Also, later in their careers, John and Olivia did another concert called Two Strong Hearts, their duet of that song is great too! Have fun!
Obviously the feels are evoked with this amazing song, the're right there. But this song is about the opposite of young love. It's about falling in love with someone who isn't your partner, forbidden love that can't be. They're the best of friends, since they started their careers and the love there is real.
This song to me is about being in love with your best friend and in a relationship with someone else and not being courageous enough to tell that friend how you feel about them for fear of scarring them out of your life.
Another amazing, but different song by John is LISTEN TO THE WIND, live, as usual. Also; have you reacted to John's warmup/soundcheck of Led Zeppelin's BLACK DOG ? Better than the original IMO.
Heres afew songs that are good but not super hits;Hearts on fire,Let me out,Talk of the town,seemed like a good idea, In your hands,Have a little faith and When the war is over any live performances try different concerts as each song in concerts are always slightly different theres also banter with the audience at different times in the individual concerts you get to see more of his personality BUT if you do When the War is Over do the one where Jimmy Barnes gets on stage with John it was known that they used to drop by each others shows this one John wearing a long Dry as a bone coat (the man from snowy river) its a movie you probably never heard of it lol
Thank you for your great reaction and appreciation of our two phenomenal Aussie Treasures, John Farnham and Olivia N-J. Have you not seen Olivia N-J. sing in the movie 'Grease' ,with John Travolta?

The song is about Unrequited love ❤ both good actors especially John in musical Theartre
And forbidden love
This song was a hit for John many years ago, but the duet with Olivia took this to another level. This was just one of the performances from The Main Event concert featuring John, Olivia and Anthony Warlow, a brilliant light opera singer who has performed many musicals such as Phantom. Absolutely brilliant concert. Apparently, John got permission from Jill to do the kiss - it was several concerts, so a bit of kissing!!!! It’s a perfect duet. RIP to dear Olivia.
Yeah he said he was so lucky to get to kiss her every night for 3mths
Part of this was also something of a come back back for Olivia: after the cancer diagnosis she, apparently, didn't think she could perform. John invited her to perform in his way of always lifting people up.
This is hard to watch with Olivia gone and John going through what he's going through. Can't avoid the tears.
I think this is one of the most beautiful songs either of them have ever performed. Love it ❤
They had been the best of friends 4 years growing up in the music industry in Australia, no love story here he's happy with his wife, but Olivia and John were very close and had a wonderful friendship that spanned many decades.
RIP Olivia... We all miss your incredible talent and what you gave to us all 💗
Chill out, nobody suggested there is anything other than something that isnt
They are long time friends. They also sang at the Sydney Olympics together. The song was Dare to Dream. It is a beautiful song performed by two beautiful people.
John and Olivia were close friends for 50 years.
I was at this concert. 2 of the best. So glad you found these fantastic performers. Luv from Australia ❤️🎼❤️🎼❤️
So cool!
Olivia was a godess. Will be missed.
Enjoyed your reaction! This is one of my favorite performances of John Farnham and the late Olivia Newton-John! Amazing artists!
Thank you for your great reaction and appreciation of our two phenomenal Aussie Treasures, John Farnham and Olivia N-J. Have you not seen Olivia N-J.
sing in the movie 'Grease' ,with John Travolta?
Loved your reaction bro. Two legends who love and respect each other demonstrating why we love them so much. Should check out “Dare to dream” John Farnham and Olivia Newtown John at the Sydney 2000 olympics performing together
Soooooo romantic 💕
Love this performance, the chemistry is undeniable. Just beautiful.
Oh you never saw Grease!! Your not human😂
ONJ was huge in the 70s and 80s...one of the highest selling female artists of all time...i think 🤔
Edit: just checked and over 100million album sales and 36th top female artist on Billboard top 200!
You should watch John sing this on his own from the Classic Jack concert it is so powerful you will love it . On the fan page today l see his music is back up there on the charts and his son Robert said he is cancer free happy singing and walking his dog things are looking great .
It was a John Farnham hit, written for him by Graham Goble (Little River Band) and it is better as a solo. They made it into a duet for this concert.
Lovely cannot stop playing this.
It's a piece of musical theatre between two friends who knew each other for decades. You need to review more Olivia. She was an absolute goddess with a sensational vocal range. Stunningly beautiful and a beautiful person
This was from The Main Event. It was with John Farnham, Olivia Newton-John and Anthony Warlow . The whole show was recorded almost 3 hrs long. John and Anthony singing together was as amazing as this. There is a part where all three sing together. Should check it out. Also shows John's comedic side.
Thank you for your reactions to our John simply the best. John and Olivia had a great friendship that lasted many years. This is so beautiful ❤❤❤
This guy could sing the back of a cereal box and I'm all in.
Yeah she was in the movie Grease she played Sandy the main lead female role.
You'd be the only person on the planet that hasn't seen the John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John movie Grease. Lol❤ ha ha
You gotta watch Grease for the diversity of Olivia
Loved your reaction like always, John and Olivia were friends for 50 years.
This song/performance came from the " main event concert"
You want more John and Olivia, that will give you a couple of hours worth, this concert also had Anthony Warlow singing init as well.

Johns acting abilities are phenomenal besides that voice 👏 🙌 🎉🎉🎉
Yes, John and Olivia sang and toured together in some phenomenal Concerts including: 'Two Strong Hearts' Tour and 'The Main Event' Tour around Australia, along with the awesome Anthony Warlow! They have also produced a beautiful Xmas CD together. Please also watch them sing together 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow'; plus 'Dare to Dream' from the Sydney Olympics 2000!
They are the perfect duet and the best of mates ❤️ ♥️ 💕
That's how to do a duet. Beautiful.
Check out Olivia's 1982 concert (Physical Tour). No autotune, no lip synching, just stellar, pitch perfect vocals throughout. High energy show, too.
If you watch Grease you'll be impressed with John Travolta's performance too. They were so young!😂
Yep I watched it on Don Lane. I first saw him at Dandenong Carols by Candlelight early 70s. He was Johnny then. Been a. Big fan for 50 years.
your comment about hte phone call with your Girlfriend brought back memories
The Chemistry between these two is pure professional skill. They both know extremely well how to convey feelings and emotions into their voices and the music they want to create.
It does help that they have known each other for their whole entire careers and are extremely good friends.

Absolutely divine
Oliva Newton-John was Sandy in the movie Grease and sang in that. Her song I love the song is Magic from the Movie Xanadu
Heheh your face after the first line - if blushing had a facial expression that'd be it. Great reaction as always - these two are so cute and talented :) I'd love for you to react to MAGIC by ONJ - Live on The Midnight Special. She's so lovely :) Her duet with Cliff Richard called SUDDENLY is also great.
Thank you thunder in my heart is one of my favourites I'm glad you like it
This was on 'Uncovered'… . an album John brought out in the 80's. The entire LP is still amazing !
Check out Olivia's song "Hopelessly devoted to you" which has come from the Movie Grease, Olivia has starred in two on screen Musicals such as Xanadu and Grease, but has been a singer since the early 70's in Australia.

How can I be the first to Like this when there's 30 comments? Come on people, support those who support our John!
Must see and the only musical movie I like. Grease is the Word brother 😉
What else is it people?
Olivia Newton-John WAS in the movie Grease. She has sold over 100 million records worldwide! Her biggest hit ever was Physical from 1981.

John Fareham is my favourite, you should look up Sadie the cleaning Lady.
I did that song it was amazing.. ruclips.net/video/sjKc6rDiSuM/видео.htmlsi=ink5Pfa3BpYiRS9w
Two songs I can think of by Olivia: Suspended in Time & I Honestly Love You
John and Olivia sang "Dare to Dream" at the Opening of the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
Just beautiful. Worth a look 👍
Maybe you should listen to hopelessly devoted to you ,by olivia ,i think you would really like that one .anyway love your work .xx
Love your reactions man. You like grown ups music. No squeaky boy band crap here haha.
The song totally devoted to you, and another song called let's get physical, there's two Olivia Newton John songs for you.
Olivia's role different to" Grease " farnham always a winner as a older tender duo they are marvelous
Olivia Newton John is Sandy from Grease
You will have listened to Olivia if you ever watched the movie Grease. She played Sandy.
This song to me is about being in love with your best friend and in a relationship with someone else and not being courageous enough to tell that friend how you feel about them for fear of scarring them out of your life.
Olivia is Sandy in Grease with John Travolta
RIP ONJ
Have you ever heard John's cover of the Beatles song "Help"?
Another amazing, but different song by John is LISTEN TO THE WIND, live, as usual. Also; have you reacted to John's warmup/soundcheck of Led Zeppelin's BLACK DOG ? Better than the original IMO.
Watch grease and xanadu 2 great movies if you like musical movies.
You have to watch Grease, Yes John Travolta and Olivia Newton John, again you have to watch Grease.
You are so funny cvteck1 and cute
Have you never seen “Grease” with John Travolta and Olivia ?
havnt you ever watched Grease with john travolta and olivia
You should probably listen to his entire reaction, as he explains this 🙂
If I coulld sing...I'd never talk..." ROFL x6765 ....the only thing more enjoyable than the song, was the reaction! A lot of fun.
Heres afew songs that are good but not super hits;Hearts on fire,Let me out,Talk of the town,seemed like a good idea, In your hands,Have a little faith and When the war is over any live performances try different concerts as each song in concerts are always slightly different theres also banter with the audience at different times in the individual concerts you get to see more of his personality BUT if you do When the War is Over do the one where Jimmy Barnes gets on stage with John it was known that they used to drop by each others shows this one John wearing a long Dry as a bone coat (the man from snowy river) its a movie you probably never heard of it lol
Missed the meaning of the song completely
Sometimes it happens and it be nice to have your thoughts on it so I learn from it.
@@CVTECK1
Unrequited love,
They are both both free
