Thank you for sharing my request!!
You're very welcome:)
Great request ❤️
@@ThatSingerReactions how do I request a song?
Fantastic request Sondra
Thanks for sharing this from another proud Aussie. You are being very respectful.
When John Farnham opens his mouth you get chills... They're multiplying...
🤣🤣
I see wot u did there..lol
nicely done there , nicely done , i enjoyed you comment bee......Cause the power you're supplying
It's electrifying
I say, incredibly clever old chap.
I see what you did there ...
“Did she do some stuff in Grease?” Oh my, that hurts my GenX heart. Olivia WAS Grease.
It hurts my baby boomer heart too 🤣
Fr, she was my first crush 🥰
I mean, Travolta was there, I think.
EDIT: Travolta. Yeah, that was his name...That guy.
♥️♥️♥️
those pants
I'm crying, hard. Such a beautiful and poignant song sung so passionately here by John and Olivia. She passed recently from cancer and John has recently undergone a marathon surgery for oral cancer where he had part of his jaw removed. I pray for his full recovery from this dreadful decease 🙏❤️
Life long friends... great chemistry.
But John's wife Jill isn't bothered... he has been devoted to her for nearly 50 years.
Hopelessly devoted to her.
You should be very proud Australia...unreal talent.
John Farnham was back in the 1980's and early 1990's a great singer as well as a fantastic performer.
We are and John and so MANY other amazing musicians/singers/artist are the core of what we grew up with in Australia before the internet...as a muso/Carpenter and Aussie it was get out and play at pubs etc...we did.
Beautiful song and 2 Aussie living Legends 🙏
We are. OZ ROCKS🎸💜⚡️⚡️⚡️🤘🏿🤘🏿🇦🇺👅☔️💋💋💋
We certainly are very, very proud!!!
I was in Europe when ONJ died in August, and we were coincidentally at a karaoke bar at the time..... guess which soundtrack we sang all night after that. 😢
They are old friends with a lot in common. They're a similar age and both born in England but raised in Australia. Both with careers that began to bloom in Melbourne. Both have been in and out of fashion. They have sung together for charity quite often. John has been WAY luckier in love. Melbourne hearts are with them both. Olivia has been living with stage 4 cancer for a few years now. Bless her heart.
I think I read some where that as young teenager that they went out on dates a few times I am not realy sure but that has come inmy head
They are the best of friends and that love has carried through the years
Love them both
At that time Olivia had already started her journey with breast cancer. Mine was in 1997 and I met her and she shook my hand. We both wished each other good luck. My male friends were extra caring towards me then, just as John was towards Olivia. I think that had a lot to do with the intimacy that you saw between them here.
Exactly.. I was about to say the same thing, you put better than I could! Cheers Debbie
@@r.fairlie7186 Plus her marriage had tragically broken up not long after her recovery. I always felt that this concert was created to help give her confidence to get back on stage again. Typical of our beautiful John. Certainly lots of genuine agape love ❤️ here
@@allymayful Definitely agape rather than eros! I must say how lovely it is to read so many beautiful comments here. It doesn’t happen often on RUclips. All the best to everyone here 🤗🤗
John and his wife have been happily married for years , as a kid I stood out the front of the church and cheered them on LOL, Olivia and John have been life long friends since the 60,s
I love the footage from his wedding with all the people outside. It looks like a royal wedding. And some of the women crying he didn’t picked them 😂
@@breeanaflannery I went to school across the road at corpus christi, all the kids were lined up at the school fence screaming etc, Jill lived 3 streets away from my house when I was a kid , even though farnhams voice is amazing , he will always be known for being a really nice guy :-)
@@carolynmck6046 he absolutely is. I actually met him when I was a kid. We have the same bday so someone my dad knows organized for me to meet him backstage at the Regent before his 50th bday show (It was my 8th bday). He talked to me, asked me if I was having a party, sang me happy birthday, we took some photos and he gave me a signed program, hat and a slice of his birthday cake. Just incredible to take the time for all that for some random 8 year old. But all these years later I still remember that when I walked into his dressing room he was busy ironing his own pants! So down to earth!
@@breeanaflannery that is amazing, what a special memory to have :-)
@@breeanaflannery great to hear that John did that for you and more so for a 8 year old...He is the perfect example of a great man.
I've met him too a couple of times through being a musician and myself doing Carpentry/Joinery work at studios around Sydney back in the late 80's and 90's and one time at studios 301 John and band were rehearsing and I was having a lunch break listening.
They had a break and John came over to me and we spoke.
He asked me about carpentry stuff and him being a plumber...well we had that building connection. I spoke about being a musician and he said "Come and listen to rehearsal if you want too"
I said
"UMMM yeah"
To be 3 metres away from John singing and hearing the sheer power and control of his voice beyond the PA is something I'll never forget. It was so empowering and overwhelming. What we see from John on tele and in concert is exactly the same thing I saw in him in person. As you said...he's just down to earth and genuine.
Thats one of the main things I got from John. Good on him for singing Happy Birthday and you had cake too 👍👍🔨🥁🇦🇺
In a very sad footnote to this, on the same day that Olivia passed a couple of weeks ago, John Farnham was diagnosed with cancer in his mouth. This week he had a 12 hour surgery to remove part of his jaw and the tumor. We're all hoping for a strong recovery.
Please Don't Ask Me is probably my favourite John Farnham song. You really need to hear him singing it by himself. Chills!!!
Absolutely agree on that one. The feeling of that song is heartbreakingly beautiful :(
Yes, it is a great solo peace, I have tried to sing in myself, but no matter how hard I try I can't get it, although the audiences have said I have done a good job.
Was this the first time done as a duet or was there one earlier?
As a kid in Australia, I grew up to listening to Barnzy and Farnzy. Always took them for granted, watching your reactions to these two legends reminds me how fantastic they both were. I get goosebumps. Keep up the work. Hope your channel will let the rest of the world know how great they were and are. Jimmy can still belt out to this day.
Totally agree. Jimmy Barnes can still belt out a song. He and his wife are fantastic.
Exactly how I feel about both Jimmy & John. Always loved them didn't understand how absolutely awesome they are. Listening to so much music over lockdown has certainly brought me to my senses. Olivia has been singing in Australia from the 60's & spent time in the UK. So she & John started around the same time in the industry.
@@donnam5891 I was brought up in my teens through the 70's then beyond (in Sydney) loving Johhny Farnham, the King Of Pop! It's wonderful travelling down memory lane through this channel. How beautiful are John and Olivia here, a tender and loving performance of this classic song. Brought tears to my eyes ❤ 🇦🇺 ❤
And our Livy. We were and are very fortunate indeed.
They were the darlings of Australian music . They are so good together ,think Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers great mates and great together musically but just mates . As Dolly says !her and Kenny were musical soul mates . Same for John and her . So so happy you love him xoxoxo
You really need to hear him song this solo. It’s stunning.
Agreed
Absolutely agree.
Listen to the one with John Farnham and Danielle Gaha (the one with mpg in the title), holy hell he gets high, another octave higher than this one...
I prefer John singing this solo
Yes and on the midday show from the early 90s . Spur of the moment performance on the spot with lots of jokes. Amazing performance
I was at that concert. What a night it was! Their love of music is what bonds them. The love for each other, is very real too, but for all of the best reasons. I love your emotion too, and I'm not ashamed to say that it brought tears to my eyes just knowing how it affected you also. It did that night, and it does every time I see this. We have lost our darling Olivia, and it breaks my heart to know, we'll never see her again.
When John Farnham sings if you don’t got chills, check your pulse because you’re probably dead. 🤷♀️
I have never heard of him, dont think he is well known in the UK
@@robanks3895 funnily enough, he was born in England.
“I’m going back, I don’t care……..Leave me alone”! 😂😂😂😂
You crack me up 😆
3:48, you’re getting chills at his belting, and I understand… But I was getting chills at the very soft falsetto that Olivia is doing at the same time. That caught my attention.
I had front row seats at this concert - The Main Event in 1998 and it was the BEST! Olivia, John and Anthony Warlow - my three fav singers - performing live in concert! They sang a mix of solos, duets and all three together. I still have the CD of that concert, and was lucky enough to have ONJ sign it for me! 💫
I wish I was there. I have been to a few John Farnham concerts and I saw Anthony Warlow perform earlier this year but I was never bessed to see Olivia live.
I was there as well, it was magical
their duet "dare to dream" at the Olympics is epic. also, their whole 'two strong hearts' tour is amazing!
I loved reliving this. Olivia sadly passed this year after a long battle with cancer, and now John is doing the battle also. Absolute legendary artists. ❤
what amazes me even though ive grown up listening to both of these people , its the perfectly matched vibrato , length of note and pitch , the length of sustain and the cadence, perfection in motion is all i can say , its almost unbelievable except for the fact that its John and Olivia , Australia's sweethearts
They have done both Stage/film work, so yes, they know how to get into the part for the song. Except for the kiss, they've been friends a long time. Nothing wrong for a kiss on the lips for friends.
John and Livvie have been friends for decades... this concert was in 1998, six years after her first battle with breast cancer. Having her on stage for The Main Event with Anthony Warlow must have been very emotional for all of them. She has since battled it twice (2017 and currently is dealing once again) We love Liv and we love their friendship even more. Thank you for featuring all of our legendary artists Nick...we're pretty protective of them but have no problem sharing them with you 💖🐨
I could not of said it better myself
Both Olivia and Anthony Warlow are cancer survivors.............we nearly lost her a few years before this so it makes those friendships of decades even closer.
@@bigs1546 True that - we are very lucky that both are still with us
I swear he is borderline Tenor, and Olivia has the most beautiful tone that I’ve loved since I was a kid and first saw Grease
not borderline, he's definitely a tenor
@@jj-if6it I was gonna say! Borderline?! Umm the dude can sing higher than most females! He belts in what is usually falsetto range for men! And even as a female mezzo soprano I think he could belt higher than me 😂
I have been a lifelong fan of John's and still always get chills and goosebumps whenever I hear him sing like that. He's incredible.
Yep she sure does !!!!!!
You’re amazed, aren’t you ? Our AUSSIE ICONS ❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺
Great song, both brilliant. John Farnham sings at a frequency that ressonates inside you. His voice is so powerful he sings with the microphone further away from his mouth. Live he is sensational
I’m back watching this again after her recent passing…. Still love this song, and their chemistry. John and ONJ, can’t go wrong! 🤍 🕊
As an Aussie growing up with these 2 and taking their talent for granted! Seeing someone else hear them for the first time reminds me just how great they are. RIP ONJ and Best wishes to you John. ❤
While Australia is huge land size wise....it is small population wise and has a closer knit community with singers and celebrities...this has the effect of many of them knowing each other as actual friends as opposed to the US where there are more famous people and while many may know of or have seen other celebs, don't know or are not friends with eachother.
It's just a closer knit community.
And everyone loves these two.
i went to the Main Event in Brisbane, it is one of the best concerts I have seen, so glad I got to see Olivia, John and Anthony perform it was so moving, I am just gutted today, our Country has lost a beautiful lady 🙏🏻🦋 RIP lovely lady
Their magic together in the was so superb. They have always had that love of each other. We all miss Olivia and pray for John’s recovery. Of all things, mouth cancer is so fucking cruel 💜❤️
Just beautiful 😍. Olivia and John have been good friends for years and worked together on a number of occasions.
Your channel. You do what you want. Someone don't like it, toughnutts.
Love this collaboration with John and Libby
Stunning stunning stunning…i got goosebumps….i saw this live in Perth and the chemistry was off the charts!!!
So so proud of our Aussies❤
Such a sweet song for them to have sung together. Great friends..and that chemistry, onstage, yeah.. consummate performance from two of our greatest singers! Thanks for sharing that. May Olivia R.I.P. She will be missed so very much.
Two amazing Aussie treasures, they both have very long amazing careers
My Aussie GenX heart is warmed by your appreciation of the way they sang this song. Beautiful ❤🇦🇺
You have to get chills. He is the master of chills and no one can beat him for the belt.
I love this. I was actually at that concert. It was called "The Main Event" and it was the best ever. There was John, Olivia and Anthony Warlow. The three of them had such a chemistry. They clowned around, you could see they're all great mates. Olivia said she's always wanted to sing with John Farnham. You've already done a reaction to John and Anthony about a week ago. You're spot on with your comments. Don't take any notice of your critics. You've got a lot of people following you!
Liv and John has worked quite a bit together as had John & Ant. This concert series was, however, the first time Liv & Ant had ever performed together. How she kept a straight face with those two unrepentent crack-ups is quite remarkable !! What is indisputable was that putting these 3 great artists together didn't just "work", the chemistry absolutely clicked on all levels and this series of concerts were absolutely memorable.
So good to hear John and Olivia together again. They’ve been friends and worked together since late 60’s. You should hear more of Olivia’s stuff. Love your reactions and your pointing at the beginning. 😁
Greetings from New Zealand .Love your reactions and look forward to them . You’re awesome so don’t listen to any naysayers. You do you!
Two Aussie legends who are also good friends . This was a lovely performance from them both when they were about 50 years old and they’re still awesome now , over 20 years later !
Kia Ora! I’m also watching and a subscriber from the Mighty Waikato!
Chahoo! Another kiwi here, watching from Germany, and loving these reactions. Especially anything with Farney in it!
John and Olivia performed together many times from their teen years and have been king and queen of pop in Aus. They remained friends often singing together in their solo and joint concerts. So happy you love them as much as we Aussies do.
Cannot recall Olivia Newton John ever being queen of pop in Australia. She left Australia early in her career returned when her career started to wane.
@@whiteapple2313 Yes that's true , Olivia was in England when John started out.
@@whiteapple2313 It was Colleen Hewitt and Debbie Bryne with John
@@sueralph8708 and Alison Durban.
@@sueralph8708 She left probably just after John first hit it big. Luckily she had the backstop of a UK passport via birth which meant she could stay in the UK & she struck it lucky by making connections with The Shadows who had a massive part in her UK career prior to leaving for the US.
The concert was "The Main Event". Just a great show in the round featuring John Farnham, Olivia Newton-John and Anthony Warlow. It was a classy event where they all sang separately and with each other.
Wow that is sooooo good.....
Perfectly complimenting each other.....
And to address your wonder at his awesome perfect voice and range.... well we grew up listening to him through his career and just knew him originally as Johnny Farnham..... and that's just how he sings..... so I didn't realise how damn good he was until the album Whispering Jack came out.
And now to see him over 70 and can still belt it out almost as good as ever is fantastic
Like John, Olivia was born in England and discovered young. She came to Australia and became beloved by everyone. Had 5 US Number One songs and won 4 Grammys. She's now recognised with the UK's top honour as Dame Olivia Newton-John in honour of her musical achievements and environmental activism. These two have a 4 decades long friendship and great respect for each other.
Is this request about John Farnham or Oliver Newton John. You appear to be an avid fan of Olivier Newton John.
@@whiteapple2313 Not an avid fan of Olivia. Just providing some information.
@@whiteapple2313 Both????
Love your reactions. I realise we almost take these beautiful singers for granted here. We have been blessed to have had them so long and they shared their God given talents with us.
I love it how much you point out the phrasing ( like ‚best‘) . Almost nobody does
He adores Olivia & she him. They are BEST of BEST friends. Funnily enough, I've always thought they look like each other. Seriously, two of the loviest people in Show-bizz
John's been married for 48 years now. But he does love Olivia. We all love her too ❤️❤️❤️
The love and respect runs deep with these two. Love them together.
Olivia has a beautiful voice. Check out her vocals on a song called Totally Devoted’ from Grease… 👍 She started out doing Country music with great songs like ‘Let Me Be There’. All good stuff…
Wow, you're as old as me. :)
Also look at some of her latest virtually unknown songs featured in a movie/tv series Sordid Lives. She plays a bar singer called Bitzy Mae and the best songs are Slow Burn and Its None of My Business. Some would like You Look Like a Dick to Me. The videos may not appeal to every one, but it was a sordid comedy.
They have been very good friends as they started out at the same time together in the 60's...just a beautiful pair of people with beautiful souls..we are so lucky here in Australia ❤
I forgot how beautiful this song was sung by these two. I have tears in my eyes and don't know why as I listen to this.
Growing up as a Teenager, I've always admired the Strength and Talents of our Aussie Musicians that strive to entertain us with their Raw Power and Tenacity. Johnny Farnham was one my favourite singers and performers ever ! Loving your Reactions to these talented people , in our Awesome Country. Keep on Keeping it Real Nick !👍 🎶🎵
Cheers Brus 👏
It was a terrific concert. The three of them together made for a magical night. They all have a close friendship
She is another Aussie national treasure 💖
Love this performance! Oh and Olivia can sing!!!
So happy to be listening again to these many artist through your ears! One thing stands out too, every time- how the backing bands and orchestras are world class! Which is funny to look back on. Many USA music bigs used to really run us down. They would land with huge band numbers and then get blown away by what they heard. Local music people ( including myself) fought long hours to put a quota in place. The put-downs were horrible. But it was Frank Sinatra in his older tours, who really started everything rolling. He could not believe it and ironically, took musicians back to the States with him! He raved on air and slowly our great music standard was trusted. Every track you’re playing is so world standard I think. So great to follow your site❣️Love how you “get” how good our land down under was mskin’ great legends!
I love the finger point at the camera intro, don’t you dare change it WE LOVE IT!!!, it’s actually becoming iconic at this point… ❤️😎👌
Totally agree!
They are only friends but have been for many years and work so well together.
I've never heard this before. I've heard John sing it of course, but not this duet, so thank you for bringing that to my life.
Our Olivia - RIP Just beautiful.
The last moment was all johnny and his amazing ability to make any song,,any note better...
That's a 'Ive loved and respected you my whole Life' kiss.
Your homework this weekend is to experience all things ONJ. She's Australia's treasure
Olivia has an amazing voice too...two of them together mwah chefs kiss
Both consummate artists. Just beautiful 😍 beautiful 🤩 beautiful 🌟🌟🌟❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Gosh bawling with emotion during this song. You are such a great analyst with songs. I’m so happy to see someone as passionate about our Aussie iconic singers. The one thing you will realise that farnsy, barnsy, and that generation of Aussie singers are so down down to earth, humble and love a good laugh.
John and Olivia are lifelong friends. Such a beautiful song sung with real emotion.
They have been great friends for decades, and having been singing together, on and off over that time, it's purely platonic, they both have respect and admiration for each other
😂 your reaction to Olivia :) yeah she’s great
I love how you break the songs down & anylize every part.great job ! Thank you for reviewing this amazing performance.💗🙏🌿
Amen about the chills.
I’ve seen this so many times and it STILL gives me goosebumps 💖
I grew up watching “The Main Event” with John Farnham, Olivia Newtown John and Anthony Warlow on video. It’s so lovely to reminisce.
Love watching your videos! 😊
That was such a good concert .. loved all 3 of them
Long time close friends , both great singers Olivia great actress also .she was one of the main stars in grease
I don’t think your pointing is disrespectful at all, it’s your signature move, I love it, I do it along with you sometimes. Love Olivia and John together.
You gotta listen to Jack Jones/Irwin Thomas (same guy). Played in farnhams band in early 90’s and he was a huge fan of Jacks. As an amazing voice as Farnham plus one of the best guitarists to ever come out of Oz. DO IT!! 😎
please
Just another great performance.
If theres one great thing about being a life long Farnham fan in Australia, its seeing someone see and hear how great he is too.
They’re just consummate performers who care for each other and love their craft. Their careers started around the same time.
This was a really special concert series years ago
John, Olivia and Anthony Warlow all toured together. It was truly a spectacular concert each showcasing their own talents then combining for moments like this.
The chemistry was real..decades of loving friendship and respect for each other. So beautiful. LOVE your reaction!
Two bloody Icons from our country down under. Couldn't get any better.Love Love Love 💕💕💕
Pretty sure this was from 'The Main Event' , Anthony Warlow was in it as well. A show for the three of them.
I'm pretty sure John and ONJ have been friends for 50+ years
Love this. John and Olivia are so much more than entertainers. They are embedded in the fabric of Australian history.
I have been to countless concerts and those of other performers come nowhere near the absolute enjoyment of John’s concerts - over 50 years of pure enjoyment.
Thank you for recognising him. 🌟
ONJ is also good friends with Barry Gibbs and does some great no.s with him as well. She is a much loved and respected performer. Has suffered several bouts of cancer and is currently still fighting on.
The acting and this kiss at the end is very typical of their era, Olivia always kisses friends on the lips. If you watch Olivia duet with Andy Gibb and Cliff Richard she does the same thing, in the 70's they tended to do that intense eye contact and acting the song out was a part of it.
Olivia-Newton-John was an amazing singer she was and still is Australia's favourite female singer of all time RIP =z=
John and Olivia have been singing together on and off together since they were kids.
I adore their friendship.
This is my favourite John farnham song 🎵 ❤️ I find this just so beautiful & the emotion in this song 🎵 is truely beautiful
Good I love you, and your love of music. You always make me laugh and smile. Thankyou
John's Collab work with all his friends over the years is as you would say "Phenomenal". He has had more last last last final tour concerts than any other singer... He just loves it so much and is loved by so many they keep begging for one more tour!!!! He is "The Voice" that could sing with anyone!
They did a concert series bk in 2016 around Australia Nick so this was from one of those concerts....
By memory it was called "Two Strong hearts" tour...
They've been close friends for many many years, as they are about the same age (livvy was a year older).. they truly are phenomenal together ❤💖
Olivia Newton-John's voice can be heard in JAWS during the scene in which poor little Alex Kintner is taken by the shark. In the film she is on the radio singing a cover of the Peter Allen song "I Honestly Love You" which was a big hit for her around the world. She has a Country music background (singles include "If Not For You", "Let Me Be There", "Banks of the Ohio", "Take Me Home Country Roads") but moved more fully into pop after GREASE in 1978 and XANADU in 1980 before releasing her album Physical in 1981. Farnham comes out of the vaudevillian traditions of music theatre and cabaret, which is one of the reasons why he is a natural easygoing entertainer: years and years of practice performing for tough crowds going back to the 1960s.
Her version of I Honestly Love You is the original. Peter Allen allowed her to record and release it first. He recorded his version after hers had already hit number one.😊
Beautiful both of them. And what a lot of people didn't know she was in tremendous pain from the cancer. Allways in my heart❤️❤️
I’m so happy you reacted to this, it was one I was going to recommend. I was lucky enough to see them both perform this live. Love your work 😃
Ok,so to answer your question about chemistry etc. John Farnham and Olivia Newton-John were both involved in the Australian music scene from young adults. They are both dedicated vocalists who understand lyrics and story telling through song, they brought the emotion needed to the performance. John has been happily married to the same woman, Jill, since 1973.
BTW, so glad others outside of Australia get the gooseys when they listen to John .
John Farnham is the King of Australian music, Olivia 'Livvy' Newton John is the Queen! Thank you for reacting to this beauty!
Magic remember them always thank you
