I forget sometimes that not everybody does carols by candlelight, us in the Southern Hemisphere have the perfect weather for an outdoor concert of Christmas carols
Yes I don’t think they could do this in the northern hemisphere, too cold outside especially after dark!
Great lead singers always know their back ups are legends.
To think this is sung totally live, no autotune, in a bugger of a venue - The Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne - as in outside - with all the air/wind and sound difficulties that that encompasses - and yet....... John & his "friends" absolutely nail it, both in pitch and respectful performance. It's not a rock concert, it's Christmas Carols by Candlelight and the tone of that was of the highest calibre. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
And don't forget the mosquitoes flying around.
Well said Mary....class act our John
Absolutely agree … except … you’re not watching a live video taken by someone in the audience. You’re watching a live, television quality broadcast video. Having worked in live tv for over 30 years and having worked on many live concerts including carols by candlelight, live Olympics, sporting events and music concerts from venues all around the world and everything in between .. I can promise you that there is massive team of highly skilled TV technicians that worked for many weeks beforehand, then rehearsals etc to make it as good as it could possibly be for those who couldn’t witness it live and first hand. We are always blessed to have talent such as John’s to work with … he is an absolute legend. And having worked with him many times over the years I can tell you from experience that he is the nicest man in the industry.
And as usual, he acknowledged his backup singers, Lindsey, Vanetta and Lisa
So humble and oh so classy
I was probably in the backing choir for this….John was one of the nicest people to us.
I was a little kid watching this on TV, but was in the backing choir for the Jimmy Barnes/David Campbell one (which was incredible...but I envy you so much for being there for John's!!).
The performers always go on and on about it, but it really is magical seeing all the candles from the stage and hearing all the crowd singing back.
His voice certainly is a gift from The Lord!
And The Lord chose well. John is a really great guy and very much loved by all.
Amen!
Agreed. 🙌
So powerful, so passionate and emotional, John puts everything into every performance he does and his voice makes you feel things where others don’t. John can truly sing anything. I loves this version.
Sadly today John Farnham at 73 has been diagnosed with some form of cancer which has now put him for some surgery.
Today is the 23/8/2022 so let's pray for Farnsey and send him good vibes.
I love John not just from his music , but because of who he is as a person , and his dorky sense of humour at times .
If you read this from your hospital bed or wherever you're getting the surgery done, I send you LOVE ,LOVE,LOVE.
You are such a beautiful person.
Stay strong , remember the Doris Day song what will be , will be .
Go with it and let the medical professionals t take the reins and make you strong and healthy again.
LOVE LOVE 💖 LOVE
Carols by Candlelight started in Melbourne Australia in 1938.
Every Christmas Eve this event is broadcasted across Australia and raises money for “Vision Australia” ( the blind). Today is Christmas Eve in Australia 🇦🇺
I love the Myer Music Bowl as a venue. Perfect acoustic, beautiful views and such atmosphere.
I have some amazing memories of The XX (dancing in the warm rain), The National, Bon Iver, Melb Symphony Orch, the list goes on....at the beautiful natural amphitheatre and its sound shell.
Carols by Candelight was invented in Australia, actually Melbourne in the 1930s. We in Australia have a Summer Christmas so its perfect sitting on a blanket with a candle watching and singing carols outside. It is so popular that every state and every local council host a community carols by Candelight throughout the whole of Australia and also New Zealand. This one that John is singing at is the original from Melbourne and is televised Nationally on Christmas Eve. A big Tradition here in Australia.
I fondly remember the Lismore carols. They were held on a grassy slope on the Southern Cross University grounds, since the uni is located in the crook of a bend in a line of hills that curve around the north-eastern side of East Lismore suburb. I used to live just around the corner from the uni. Everyone who came sat all up the slope, with the stage set up at the bottom, so natural tiered seating.
Victorian Carol's by camdlight was first to raise money for Blins Society (which called Vision Australia now) its usually held Christmas eve
Norman Banks from 3.A.W invented carols.
Do people understand John is one of the best ever voices. No electronics
Thanks for these reactions. John can sing anything, and always gives 100%, perfect vocal performances.
You have such a boy crush on John’s voice. I love watching your reactions 🙏🏻
Same. I am thoroughly enjoying watching you joy at listening to our John. There is a simple pleasure in that unbridled enjoyment.
I love how much you love John Farnham. Yes! His voice is miraculous! I’ve never seen a singer make that level of singing look so effortless
It gives him joy for sure
The power of his voice is true. Notice he doesn’t sing (as most do today) with the mic right up in front of his mouth. John always holds it away from his face. You can see him and definitely, hear him. Sending best wishes to John in his recovery. You’ve given us so much in song and many laughs. Get well soon John. 💗xo
Watching Carols right now. This ranks as the best Carols performance I have ever seen
Yes agree, doesn’t get any better than our wonderful John 💕
John is Australia's national treasure, It is great to see this again.
Was homeless for 7 years, living in a car. Always made my way to Melbourne on Christmas Eve. Sat in the gardens and listen to the carols then get out of town before morning.
I hope your life is now better, that you have bee able to settle somewhere. E❤
John always gives you goose bumps when he sings this song. Just love the backing singers. Good solid old song xxx
Just came across your channel when I was searching for songs by John Farnham (In Australia we don’t pronounce the ‘h’ so Farnham sounds like Farnum) I love your reactions & detailing. John is and always will be No. 1 here. Always gives his ‘all’. Unbelievable live! His song “In Days to Come’ is still relevant & inspirational today.
This performance (Carols by Candlelight) is designed for the audience to sing along to, all types of Christians together, and anyone else who wants to join in. So Farnham is at his most restrained, giving everyone a chance to sing with him.
How have I missed this? John made my eyes "leak" on this Christmas Eve! That was beautiful! Thank you for doing this on Christmas Eve in the US! Merry Christmas to all the John Farnham fans!
Im with you man...The goosebumps are Huge...Without Doubt one of The Greatest Singers in The World and Without Doubt My Favorite Singer...There is Nothing this Guy cant Sing...Just Amazing...Keep Up The Great Work Mate...Its Fun watching You...Jody (Australia) :)
This song is played every single time my favourite sports team plays LIVERPOOL, but ive never heard it sung so well and its never sounded so good. Thanks for showing this and hope you have a Merry Christmas over there.
Oh because Gerry and the Pacemakers were Liverpool boys, right? I only just realised that's why it's Liverpool FC's fan anthem.
here is COVER of You'll never walk alone dubbed over the fans at a Liverpool game in Melbourne Australia in 2017 . The group singing is 4th Impact - 4 sisters from The Philippines

@@AurinneA Have you heard the original version? its from the musical Carousel.
@@ianmontgomery7534 Yes, I have. I've only seen the Gordon Macrae & Shirley Jones movie version of the musical, though. (Can't remember the name of the actress who sang it in the film.) It was a long time ago...
😂😂 I knew someone would get this one in before my request 😂 lol I consider this vocal performance one of Johns top 3 performances. I remember as a kid, was watching tv with my parents and channel chopping. Then we turned over right at the moment when John began that high note. I stood at attention & the vision of John standing at the middle of the stage at full stretch height & singing out to the crowd holding that high note. It became one of the most iconic visions I’d ever have of John Farnham!!! I was only 6 or 7 at the time, but even to a kid, that’s the impact he makes on anyone who sees and hears him for the first time… It wasn’t my first time hearing him, but when you watch someone in a moment in time that feels like it freezes, it’s an unforgettable moment! There’ll never be anyone ever like him again!!!
That’s beautiful - thanks for sharing! 👍
Sad news released today, that John Farnham has been diagnosed with cancer. He is undergoing surgery and treatment and god willing he will be OK. I took a walk down memory lane on RUclips and unearthed your reactions upon discovering John Farnham’s immense talent. Really love, that you really love so many of our national treasures. Keep those reactions coming they’re great🥰
He's the best.......Am 63. My first Johnny Farnham concert back then I was 8..Sat on his knee..got a kiss and an autographed photo...Have over the years been to many concerts....unfortunately someone stole my Autographed photo....But shook his hand so many times at concerts...Will always have amazing memories...Thankyou for enjoying him like I do. ❤😊
Carols by Candlelight is an event that happens all around australia pre-christmas. We gather at a local park or stadium, setup a stage and local and/or famous singers do christmas music and carols as the sun sets and folks light their candles/glowsticks etc, and the kids often sing and dance down in front of the stage. There'll be a local BBQ and some stalls setup, it's a community family-friendly event.
I challenge anyone to see this and not tear up... 😢 Just gives me chills every time...
My favourite versions of both these songs! John Farnham is an Aussie legend!
Your right he’s got the perfect voice for Christmas songs
Mary's Boy Child is a traditional Caribbean song. You're right - he wasn't even trying in this one - he wanted to give his backing singers the spotlight. As for You'll Never Walk Alone ... what can I say? John is The Voice 🙌🙌
Pretty sure any angels singing in Mary's Boy Child would include Johns voice too. He has a gift beyond mere talent and his back up team are not too shabby either!!!! Wow!
John singing You’ll Never Walk Alone was just beautiful. My Dad is from Liverpool, I was born there but raised in Australia and this song means a lot to me and will always remind me of my Dad who is in his 70’s now. So glad John who is one of my favourite singers did this. Loved your reaction to it 💗
Thanks for reminding me how awesome John Farnham is.❤️
And John just goes up another note, with even more power. Is there actually a chord he has not waved to and shaken hands with ?
Probably A flat minor!
And John goes opera. Did you see that one coming?. Ofcource, he can master every genre. Thats why he is called the voice.
He sang this reverently. Carols by candlelight is an aussie tradition. A concert in the park by candle light that is televised. Every state does one.
I don't care if it's not Christmas I just have to listen to this beautiful man singing this beautiful song. It's one of my funeral songs when the time comes ❤🎉😂
I went through my old vinyl collection today and found a Johnny Farnham Christmas Album from the '70.
So he DID do a Christmas Album.
"Christmas is.....
Johnny Farnham"
I've never heard this version before. This is phenomenonal!!!
His voice is made for the world !
Wow what a glorious voice! So thrilling. Thanks.
Goosebump stuff - esp the last song.
You’ll never walk alone was originally from the musical Carousel in 1945. Frank Sinatra recorded it way before Gerry and the pacemakers. 😀
In the musical it was written for a woman.
Oscar Hammerstein II and composed by Richard Rodgers for their musical Carousel, which was released in the USA in 1945.
Thank you Nick.xo You're exactly right...who better to sing these amazing Christmas Carols than the phenomenal John Farnham! ...plus with his brilliant Backing singers Lindsey, Vanetta and Lisa and the phenomenal David Hirschfelder on piano. A performance of Perfection, as usual.
So needed to hear these at the moment and sung by the GOAT John & Friends is just music to all ears 100% perfect.
Of course his three main backup singers are there. They worked with him for (what seems like) 30 years.
As others have said, it is summer during Christmas time in Australia. It is bloody hot and this particular event is held in a permanent open trumpet canopy shaped stage. In front of it is a sloped grass area that leads down to the stage. It is actually amazing the sound that comes out of that place. I have been there a few times. Mostly it was perfect weather, but one year was drenched in rain. Melbourne weather is up and down and is renowned for having four seasons in a day.
Not dure where in Aus you are, but over here in Perth, we are expecting the hottest Christmas day EVER on record at 43°, only about 110°f! 🤦♀️
💧🥵💦
So I'm not REALLY Looking forward to it very much this year...!
Have a great Chrissy everyone and I'll see you on tge other side...tho I may be nothing but a pile of sweat, seeping into my mother's floor boards by then! 🤣 Enjoy your day!
I’d love to hear John at Anfield singing YNWA ❤
Looking forward to Carol’s by Candlelight tonight. It’s my Christmas Eve tradition. Merry Christmas to you all and God bless
Me too. Happy Xmas. Nice to the carols back this year. Wish John was there
Me too! Merry Christmas!🎄
I just came back to find this clip after watch tonight's, this is what Carol's is missing these days...these TRUE singers...the likes of John Farnham to REALLY get you excited and keep you ready and waiting to hold on til the very end, to watch them perform. These days it appears to be mainly actors from the specific networks to advertise their shows, which is a shame...it takes something away from it all, for me, anyway...! Was still nice to have it back again though!
@@JAWs313 I agree, I miss Hi five for the kids and some true talent. Nice to see David and Mahalia sing together.
That was as always with John, exquisite, just breathtakingly beautiful ♥️ thanks Nic x
He says "My friends" because it's true. They were friends.
Happy Christmas!!!!! Tears streaming down my face, this was my Mum’s favourite Christmas song.
God bless Johnny Farnham
+the first song he sang was Mary's boy child
Never miss watching Carols by Candlelight. It’s always beautiful.
OMG I been waiting for this and hoped you would do it at Christmas. Thank you. 6:0pm Christmas Eve here perfect 🥰
Great reaction to john farnham. Merry Christmas my brother from Australia. You gotta record yourself singing for us. You sound great.
John Farnham has a voice for anything not just xmas carols.
John just has a amazing voice .
@ThatSingerReactions32 Yes he is a showman, a true showman. Very talented showman. :)
And I agree, I would have loved to hear him sing O Holy Night. He'd have nailed it so incredibly well.
A little remembered fact is that John was asked to join Queen after Freddie passed but he
didn’t want to tour.
What a great idea Nick - John singing 'O Holy Night'? That would be truly magnificent!
The Carols By Candlelight concert on Xmas Eve every year in Melbourne has some of the very best voices. You'd love it
Carols by Candlelight is a yearly event held in Australia and the country's best entertainers get together and perform and all the proceeds go to charity
I knew someone would send this 😀. Still waiting on you catching up with my 2 PayPal’s, but I’ll be patient 😬
All I want now is John Farnham Christmas carols
Just makes me cry every time 😂❤🎉
Come to Melbourne for Christmas Eve, and go to carols by candlelight and you will have a Christmas you'll never forget.
Farnsey is the GOAT. ❤
John is amazing as always… we have carols by candlelight each Christmas Eve in Melbourne at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl, outdoor venue. Bit of a tradition ever since I can remember, been a few times, and it’s televised live.
Merry Christmas to you and your family Nick…
Johns back up singers and band were amazing, like him
Love you Farnsey ❤❤❤
Carols by Candleight is an Australian Christmas Tradition. People gather usually in an outside arena by candlelight to sing carols. On a warm balmy summer evening they are always magical
I love that you've discovered Aussie music. It's the stuff I grew up with and I love it. It's a joy to reignite my passion for this music and to watch you discover it with such excitement!! Awesome stuff. Merry Xmas to you and your family from down under mate 👍
Hey buddy! Merry Christmas from Melbourne, Australia. You may be interested to know John Farnham used to be a three packet a day smoker! Killer lungs...
You should check out John Farnham Tour of Duty East Timor. Not so much for a reaction video but that Tour was for the troops. Lots of great memories.
John Farnham the man who can sing Christmas Carols and also be Jesus Christ Superstar
He's definitely one of a kind ❤ aussie legend
John is just amazing, I have seen him live many times over the years - how lucky am I. 💕🇦🇺
Elvis’s version of You’ll never walk alone is wonderful too.
Hey Dominick… gotta be the best live version ever!! Surely this is the best… I have listened to this 50 times now and it is PERFECT!! Merry Christmas mate!! Cheers f I’m all Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
If you wanna hear another great JF xmas song, he sings Silent Night with two Little River Band members Graham Goble and Beeb Birtles. Great stuff.
Cheers and happy xmas.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤JF the GOAT❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely beautiful. My favourite version of You’ll never walk alone.
I'm so so very happy you have had the chance to hear John sing Never Walk Alone, it's a favourite of mine, and his version makes me tear up everytime😢. I have this as one of my funeral songs 🤗💕.
"You'll Never Walk Alone" comes from the 1945 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical "Carousel" with Shirley Jones singing it in the 1956 film. In 1963 the Liverpool Football Club (England) adopted the song as their theme song with Gerry & the Peacemakers doing a cover for them!
"Carols by Candlelight" has been an annual Christmas Eve Concert in Melbourne since 1938 when the idea was first formed. (see story in 1st reply) It has since spread world wide. The money raised goes to our Associations for the Blind. The songs are sung "Basic" so that the audience can sing along.
"Carols by Candlelight, held in Melbourne, Victoria, was introduced in 1938 by radio announcer Norman Banks, of Melbourne radio station 3KZ. Whilst walking home from his night-time radio shift on Christmas Eve in 1937, he passed a window and saw an elderly woman sitting up in bed inside listening to "Away in a Manger" being played on the radio and singing along with her face being lit by candlelight. Wondering how many others spent Christmas alone, he had the idea to gather a large group of people to all sing Christmas carols together by candlelight. The first ever event was held in Alexandra Gardens the following Christmas in 1938, and was attended by around 10,000 people." - Wikipedia
There were 2 versions sung, by liverpool fans v Dortmund Celtic woman now I e heard the master
It's from the musical Carousel sung by a woman
Thanks for the reaction to my request mate. I thought you’d like this one.
There’s an even better version of You’ll Never Walk Alone where he goes full belt but it’s just an audio clip from the studio.
Merry Christmas.
Carols by candlelight is in a park in most major cities as it’s summer here at Christmas and we sit around singing carols with candles 💗💗💗💗💗
Loved them all on stage, beautiful ❤
Mate... I remember watching this on Xmas eve cause that's when Carol by candlelight in Melbourne are on tele to have our Aussie performers sing a Xmas Carol or 2 and it's all for the kids mainly but also for everyone to reflect on the most important things in life.
This was amazing and so moving watching it live and yes it gave me goosebumps too.
A great reaction request this one 🔨🥁🦘🙏
There's an album called "Christmas Songs" released in 1970 by Johnny Farnham and "Friends for Christmas" with Olivia Newton John, I think 2016.
There's also a song called "I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus" in the late 60's.
"You'll Never Walk Alone" is a show tune from the 1945 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel.
John doesn't just sing, he SAAAANGS!
May be the best version of You’ll Never Walk Alone ever! Do they know him in Liverpool?
What a range he has and with such ease.
Loved the restraint and the harmonies. Just sublime
I’m so glad you reacted to this. I sent you a PayPal request for this song, along with a few others a couple of months ago and I have been waiting ever since for you to react. I believe it is his best vocal performance. Thanks so much for the reactions. Try and react to the others I sent you… they’re great too. Keep up the great content!
What a shame we'll never hear John sing live again! The mouth cancer has destroyed that for him and us forever. He's lucky to even be alive.
Amen.
Just to hear him talk would be bring a tear to my eye
