John once said that the lyrics are more important to him when choosing new songs to perform because he can do his own thing with the music. He's proven that repeatedly.
He makes me😢 every time I watch this..he is so passionate
I have not seen anyone else do it better he is a true vocal genius! Like you said across all genres GOAT
John is, without a doubt, fantastic. For me though, it's Ted Neeley in this role; even into his 80's now he can still hit me in the feels with it.
Yes, John Farnham is a musical genius. His Soul shines through his songs. This is what Joh has come here to do. He gives us joy!
Joh Bjelke Petersen?
Thanks for the reaction bro, this is arguably Johns greatest vocal performance ever, no one plays this role better
Help with the MSO my pick for best ever
@@westy4973 His sound-check version of Zeppelin's "Black Dog" for mine.
Man that dude has some range he can sing brother
Yes indeed. Mr Farnham is a musical genius. His interpretation of this song leaves you hanging on the edge of your seat feeling the blood, sweat and tears and wanting to save him from his fate. Perfect performance in every way.
Thank you for truly seeing John as we in Australian have been lucky to do for son many years. I am glad you are enjoying him as much as we do.
Beautifully said @carolynh8866
I saw it 6 times and was in Sydney for the final night....God I miss this man on stage. He has shared 56 years of my life with me. I was just a kid when I got my first record in 1968.
Possibly the greatest singer ever.
I was lucky enough to see this in Sydney, what an amazing show. The main cast were made up of professional singers who were each household names in their own right.
The idea was to present JCS as a rock arena spectacular in the round, as opposed to a more traditional version using period costume.
To this day, the CD is on permanent rotation in my car.
I was at the Brisbane one, it was amazing
John can sing anything
He is a Master Performer, vocalist, storyteller and a chameleon with his genre changes in one song. Just love him ❤
Yes. He thoroughly inhabits every song, every note and every breath between. John is a Master Class Storyteller. In classical vocal / operatic terms; a Word Painter. This is a skill operatic and musical theatre 'greats' have specialist training toward - over decades. What's so important to understand about John, about his extraordinary talent is that he hasn't had a single vocal lesson. His musical intelligence, his dynamic flow just IS. 😊
The man is goat and the nicest bloke, particularly to venue staff. Have had the privilege, couldn’t say enough good things
I was at the last show of the Melbourne production of Jesus Christ Superstar, & it doesn't matter how many times I watch John sing this song, I get body chills & tingles all over, & he brings me to tears every single time. Love this man with my whole heart & soul, & live for the day he is back on stage doing what he loves, bringing joy to everyone that goes to see & hear him.
Get well & heal properly dear sweet John, the music scene is struggling without man. 💔❤️🩹💖
The legend
🔥🔥JOHN FARNHAM 🔥🔥
Thank you for this one Mike - John has many talents, but one of his most impressive for me (on top of everything else ) is his phrasing... that coupled with his lung capacity/ breath control... he's a very special person... and we love him.. Get well soon Farnsey ...
There is no one with John Farnhams talent and never will be as he is unique. I am transported when he sings and listen to him over and over. He is a genuinely warm person a sort of a big brother. God speed his recovery.
It’s hard to believe that I spent a good part of my life never having heard of John. This was just wonderful. John is really just one of a kind. Loved this performance and your comments as well. 🔥😊
Thank you
Wow what a performance. I was fortunate enough to see the revival of Jesus Christ Superstar in NY around this same time with Ted Neely, Carl Anderson and Dennis DeYoung. I agree live theater is a feeling like no other. This performance here though was outstanding. The emotions he brought to the table. I know what you mean about the end and I would love to have seen him carry the scene through when he realizes they've all gone to sleep. I can only Imagine how it was. Oh yes please more theatrical performances, I love your reactions, just listened to your Home Free one also, but hell yeah, I'm on board with any and all live performances. Thank you for this. ✌🏻&❤
And seeing it live it was even better. The luck of being Australian is I've had the privilege to see John perform live a number of times.
I lived in sydney's all my life im so proud to be an Australian we truly live in a beautiful country thank u for honouring John
I can't believe that this has not received 1,000s of Likes. 👍👍👍👍👍
Spot on with your review. I must have watched just about everything he has done, hundreds of times, just to hear those soaring notes he hits and his innate ability to engender emotion in his audience. There are many excellent performances of this song by many artists but his rendition of this song is way up there with the best I've ever heard.
Magnificent 💜💜💜
John's 'belting vocals' are unmatched, his ability to produce such powerful emotions with his voice is unrivaled among others who have covered this song. It's almost like Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice wrote this with John in mind.
I love this interpretation of the song. This is one of my favorite musicals.
Every time I see this performance it takes my breath away. You hear every word and you feel every bit of his emotional delivery. He truly showed us 'The Agony in the Garden' as they sometimes refer to it. I know that the last part is different to most, but I feel after seeing him plead with his Father show his anger then acceptance.... the final call to "take me now before I change my mind" is delivered in such a hauntingly, moving way. Love your analysis as always....jumped over here as soon as I saw the link ...Thank you so much. Love from Australia
Moved. Loved your reaction and thank you once again for sharing this talent!
Controlled power and when we understand the character, SO much agony. This prayer is done so well - You can almost feel the blood falling from his brow. AMAZING.
Reminds us Jesus was human too. I understand this is "poetic license" but I had to look up the lyrics...
Here they are - can you imagine
Gethsemane (I Only Want To Say)"
[Jesus:]
I only want to say
If there is a way
Take this cup away from me
For I don't want to taste its poison
Feel it burn me, I have changed
I'm not as sure as when we started
Then I was inspired
Now I'm sad and tired
Listen, surely I've exceeded expectations?
Tried for three years, seems like thirty
Could you ask as much from any other man?
But if I die
See the saga through and do the things you ask of me
Let them hate me, hit me, hurt me, nail me to their tree
I'd wanna know, I'd wanna know my God
I'd wanna see, I'd wanna see my God
Why I should die?
Would I be more noticed than I ever was before?
Would the things I've said and done matter any more?
I'd have to know, I'd have to know my Lord
I'd have to see, I'd have to see my Lord
If I die, what will be my reward?
I'd have to know, I'd have to know my Lord
Why should I die?
Can you show me now that I would not be killed in vain?
Show me just a little of your omnipresent brain
Show me there's a reason for your wanting me to die
You're far too keen on 'where' and 'how' and not so hot on 'why'
Alright, I'll die!
Just watch me die!
See how I die!
Then I was inspired
Now, I'm sad and tired
After all I've tried for three years
Seems like ninety - why, then, am I
Scared to finish what I started?
What you started! - I didn't start it!
God, thy will is hard
But you hold every card
I will drink your cup of poison
Nail me to your cross and break me
Bleed me, beat me, kill me, take me now
Before I change my mind
CB !
Poignant and powerful performance. John gives so much energy on stage. A great man.
He can master any kind of genre to perfektion. He is a music cameliont.
This is a live theatre performance that’s why it’s hard to find…. ❤❤❤ you will love it 😢I think this was at the Sydney Opera House, you know the one….
Thank you for your reaction. I was there that night, awestruck & holding my breath with many others. It was a minimalist production in the round and having seen the original Australian & London productions in the 70s I wondered about the stark set. I didn't have to. I was familiar with previous stage & film sets and the cast were so good that I didn't look away from them, especially John. I think this is one of John's finest examples of his connection with the lyrics, emotion and being of what he sings.
Saw this show in Brisbane. A cast packed with all great Aussie legends. Kate Ceberano, Jon Stevens, Angry Anderson, John Farnham.
I was there too. This song, tears fell, again today.
gotta check out Playing to Win...awesome pump up song..used by our Football Team before games..watch the LIVE version
You should check out John Farnham with Anthony Warlow from The Main Event Concert, as the do the 'elevate us' segment of the show.
Remember rolling his 'Rs' in Granada?😊😅
I've only just found your reaction, and I am so glad I did. Watching your beautifully expressive face made my heart melt. ❤️
Thank you for another great reaction and for sharing your thoughts.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for all your great reactions to John. It so heartwarming that people are still inspired by him. I sadly watched a reaction tonight that left me dumbfounded, and after I started to listen to the next reaction, I boiled over and vented on the "Reactor" for his disrespectful critic. All Farnham fans should avoid this particular "reactor". This was his last response to me.... 🌟 MOSEEFUS replied: "Lol you sooooo mad… I hope you never see me again!" and he is right, I never want to hear him critic John again.
One of the biggest privileges in my life was to see John perform live.
Even Opera and Country, that surprised me. I really wanted to see this show but we were working in the desert. We only got one week off every 3 months. I couldn’t make the concert tickets and plane changes work together in one week. Thank you.
Our wonderful John Farnham 💕💕💕
Outstanding Performance thankyou for your reaction
Great reaction thank you for sharing John's phenomenal voice with the world. No words really to do this performance from john true justice it truly deserves haven't been discovered yet. Can sing the phonebook. So much soul,emotion and passion in this and every performance he does. Always delivers never disappoints. Live is always best with John his wonderful personality shines through.
Thank you. I love your reactions because I learn from you, even if I have watched/heard the performances many times before.
Thank you so much, it means a lot
Outstanding and I would have loved to have been in the audience. That said, I have yet to hear anyone come close to the raw emotion and range that Ted Neeley put into his 70's performance of this song.
🥹 I love John. He's an electrifying performer.♥️✨
As always, a fantastic reaction..... I've missed you ❤️🇦🇺
Thank you! 😃
Great talent and amazing voice
Watch his amazing grace with vendetta fields and Lindsay fields his other two back up singer's
Also John and Lisa Edwards angel's she's one of his back up singer he does a duo
I think you'll like these if you haven't already seen
I did the lighting for the Brisbane shows! This takes me back.
The first musical I ever went to - Palace Theatre, 1977. Quite the impact even for a 9 year old athiest!😁
Love your reactions, John is the greatest
Love your reviews bro. Love them. Well thought out reviews you don’t spea the generic b.s. happy subscriber thank you sir
Amazing how there can be ethereal performers who, for one reason or another, almost slip through the cracks.. Iz, Eva Cassidy (check out Cassidy's Fields of Gold and Iz singing Over the Rainbow)...and John Farnham. Now, I knew who he was because I lived in Japan during the 80's. Australian pop music was everywhere. Then I come back stateside, and no one knows who I'm talking about. He just doesn't tour outside of his home base. Our loss. I would have loved hearing him live.
I’ll keep doing Holy Thursday Dramasyde with you.
I'm watched this musical for hundredth time a few days ago. Still blows me away every single time 🤯🥰
That was the musical that toured Australia. I saw it in Perth Western Australia and it was brilliant! I love your reactions to John as he’s very special to thousands of people here. You keep playing John and we’ll all stay here ❤
Thank you. Much love to you.
It is a joy and a treasure watching people *truly* grasp the magnitude of his gift. I totally agree re: the very unique energy of a theatre audience. They put their faith in you to tell them a story, one that will never be told the same way again, and you go on that journey together.
Great comments! I couldn't have said it better.
And he still didn't make it onto the Rollingstone list!
Probably Rick because they have no knowledge of his talent!
Best reaction I’ve seen. You were so mesmerised
best male vocalist bar none for me. and a lifelong kindhearted humble gentlemen which is perhaps an even greater achievement.
Gethsemane is the ultimate John Farnham performance, and this is the FINAL NIGHT! Even after performing this vocally demanding song night after night, he still elicits a feeling of despair and frustration. I'm not a Christian, but if anyone is capable of making me feel empathy with Jesus Christ, it's our Farnesey. And the live recording of the Aussie JCS is even better, if you believe it. I feel emotionally exhausted (and fulufilled) just listening to it.
You need to listen to John Farham sing your the Voice at the same Concert live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra
You need to listen to THUNDER IN YOUR HEART by John Farnham. It's a dance song which is another genre. Amazing artist!!!
Google John Farnham and the Melbourne symphony orchestra. The best concert ever. He is the best entertainer the world has ever seen.
Those gasps at the end😢
❤
He is the GOAT. And I don't think he has any peers vocally.
The best of the best , this is without question one of his better performance playing the role of Jesus in Jesus Christ superstar theatre production.
Love your channel 😊❤
I'm a purist when it comes to Music... The original Jesus Christ Superstar was amazing. and I remain a total fan Ted Neeley was a magnificent Jesus... but Johnny Farnham is incredible in this rendition ... Magnificent
The Thamesmen played both John and Neely singing this as part of their countdown to Christmas about 23.12.2022. It was especially meaningfull as they knew Neely when in England. I rewatched it last week.
@@ladymanners618Ian Gillan from Deep Purple, not Ted Neeley. Ted Neeley is in the movie
I found the best person who played Christ in Jesus Christ Superstar was Mr Ted Neeley he can really hit those high notes he’s outstanding
👍
I’ll try to find it 1992 Sydney Opera house
If your doing musical performances I’d love to see you react to Anthony warlow phantom performance of “music of the night”
Hey dude. ❤
It’s quite confrontational 😢😢😢
Ian Gillan was the first to sing part
Why is the previous one not available?
John legend did a version of this song, however being a biased Australian, I believe John Farnham nailed this better that your country man Legend.
No offence to John Legend.
In the UK some man with the name Gillan also did a version , but alas John Farnham still walks away with first place . 😂
the musical production has been updated compared to 1970 and 1973 versions, it's a great vocal performances, but not at the level of Ian Gillan or Ted Neeley, i respect the different choices but I do need this High Note cry in Gethsemane and it does not arrive here.
If you want a better one: Gethsemane (Steve Balsamo) - 'Musicals in Ahoy' Concert 2004
ruclips.net/video/_QozXX7Ndrk/видео.html&ab_channel=JesusChristSuperstar
So much emotion! he even cried tears
Good performance..but I prefer the original ( and I don't mean Christ :) ).........Ted Neeley
Not a favorite - he didn't hit THE note.
Awful rendition of a perfectly composed piece of art. Why do people insist on trying to reinvent the wheel? This is contrived to be different and to me it's obvious.
Ian Gillans original version is the standard of genius and Ted Neeley's is just as beautiful and thoughtful.
I don't agree with you. This artist has no clue how to interpret the lyrics to the utmost impact. Again..he has a good voice but contrives the dynamics to be different just for that sake.
That’s the beauty you don’t have to agree with me and furthermore I don’t care, thank you and goodbye
@@DramaSydETV watch the versions I mention if you want to open your mind to how it was originally sung and interpreted.
These are the artists a person such as myself, who grew up with and saw the opera in it's birth. Any changes are welcome to an extent. This guy's changes arent convincing as improvements, artistically nor thematically. Sorry...I'm a purist. Can't help it.
Each production of a stage show has its own merits and feel. I am not a fan of pitting one against the other. The people who are reacting to John Farnham, are giving their audiences a wide variety of genres to demonstrate his versatility and talent.
@@alimac1469 💯
@@alimac1469 all I'm saying is ...if I was in the audience I would have to open my mind completely to a different rendition of this song...music included.( Im not a fan of the constant drum beat instead of an acoustic guitar to begin the song as it seems to get in the way of his dilemma).
