John Farnham has an incredible voice which ranges from A2 to G5. Always watch John in a LIVE performance. He was subdued in this one, being behind the keyboard. When he is out front on stage he is a dynamo with an electric performance and sooooo charismatic. He is the ultimate showman. His interaction with his audience is amazing and they do love him ! Welcome to Rock Royalty of Australia.
@@mrmockatoo6786Farnsey will make me do anything fast! Up early with the sun, now that daylight saving has finished, a ruffle of the feathers and I'm in full flight!
Got to listen to this song with the MSO Melbourne symphony orchestra it’s even on another level. Please react a lot more 2 Farnsey he’s an Australian icon I would recommend when something is wrong with my baby with Jimmy Barnes and Johnny Diesel
I couldn't agree more on both counts. His version of this with the MSO is intensely powerful, and the duet with Jimmy Barnes (and Diesel) has got to be two of the best voices together. 💞
John Farnham, the greatest singer you've never heard of. His live versions are always the best. Touch of Paradise, Playing to Win, Burn for You, You're the Voice, When the War is Over, are just a few, but, his performance of Gethsemane in the Australian Cast 1992 'Jesus Christ Superstar' is amazing.
Welcome to the world of John Farnham he is Australia's ultimate number 1 for decades. He is known as The Voice. He is still pitch perfect in his 70's. Great reaction.❤️🇦🇺👍
What blows me away is that John used to frequently sing this as his closing number. Like, that is SUCH a vocal flex, my god. Blessed to have grown up with Farnsey as the soundtrack of my childhood, even more so to have seen him live, where he truly shines. Best part of any Aussie wedding or similar big gathering is when You’re The Voice comes on and the venture venue belts it at the top of their lungs 🥰
I had tickets to see John Farnham for a Friday night concert at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Boondall in 1990ish. He had to cancel at the last minute due to illness so our tickets were transferred to a quickly scheduled matinee performance on the Sunday. He said he felt so bad about letting us all down (he didn't) so he stayed on stage for 3 1/2 hours and sang nearly all of his repertoire. A class act and a top bloke.
Please react to John Farnham ‘Help’ with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra!!! You will not be disappointed, you’re just scratching the surface of this legend and all his songs. I’m excited to see you react to more by him !!
I enjoyed your reaction, and have been following your journey with Angelina Jordan. John Farnham is a legend here in Australia and not well known in USA. If you are looking for another one of Johns you may enjoy where he covers "Black Dog" from Led Zeppelin. This is recorded when the band was doing a sound check before the concert so I don't think there is video but it is phenomenal.
All of those background people have been with John for decades. Please react to him some more - anything live with John. Playing to Win or You’Re the Voice both are from his concert with the Melbourne Sympathy Orchestra being the best.
Yes! Thank you for listening to my suggestion (and Georges request) to play Aussie music!You’ve been missing out on perfection but it’s never too late to start listening to Farnsey. Please do more from him !
Welcome to the journey of our Australian legend 🇦🇺, John Farnham. As others have mentioned, his best performances are live, his ability to connect with his audiences is as powerful as his vocals. I was lucky enough to see him perform a few decades ago. Highly recommend anything from his live concert with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, including his unofficial Aussie national anthem, 'You're the Voice'. And his duets with Jimmy Barnes, another great Aussie rocker, are just incredible. Search for 'When something is wrong with my baby'. Great reaction.
There is no music genre that John cannot sing, even opera. He is one of Australia’s best kept secrets and he turn 73 on July 1st. He has to be seen live and when I heard him sing at 70, he sounded just like he did here. John had number one albums in five consecutive decades. Even Michael Jackson couldn’t push him out of number one on the charts. That is the first time I have seen John play piano. You need to hear him sing Help live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra or You’re The Voice from the same concert. He still brings his musicians and back up singers but the Orchestra love to play for him because he is fun and a really great person. He is called the Voice here.
This is the way the Beatles wanted to play this song, but their label would only allow them to play the faster "upbeat" version. This is definitely way better.
You are in for a treat!!! John Farnham with Jimmy Barnes (aussie royality) "When something is wrong with my baby". Jimmy Barnes with Joe Bonamassa (ny guitarist who opened for BB king at 12)" Stone Cold".........
John Farnham is a muched loved Australian singer, he is down to earth and approachable. His vocal range is amazing. Australian's have enjoyed His talent for years.
in australia he is called( the voice..).wonderful human greatest singer, and australias favourite singer....glad u like him...hes now in his 70s he still sounds the same...
John Farnham what an amazing singer, performer and all round great Australian guy. He’s got sooo many great songs and performances but try to always listen to live performances, he is awesome live.
He did venture out of Australia and his tour was called Whispering Jack, and I believe he went to America and Russia as well as other countries that I can't recall. He's a living legend & icon here in Australia and has done more farewell tours than I can count - as he just can't stay retired.
LOL this is John doing his party trick!! Playing the piano and singing Help! Always remember to listen to his live versions and not the studio versions as he sings on another level live! Love your reaction!
Thank you for checking out our Aussie legend John Farnham. I Love it when I find someone new discovering John for the first time. There are so many great songs he has released over the years. So I hope you find some more to react to. Big tip.... try and react to anything he does LIVE. His vocals are ALWAYS amazing, but his interaction with the audiance makes his voice even better and the crowds just love him.
Aussie icon, spanning over a number of the decades, from Sadie The Cleaning Lady, to You're The Voice. One time lead singer of Little River Band. , to epic duo of Farnsie & Barnsie, Something Is Wrong With My Baby.
Help = Beatles. Very fast….. John sung this before the Queen in Aussie - we hadn’t seen him for a bit - we all stood up in my lounge room was clapping and in tears….. this is t the Queens Aussie concert for her
This was originally a Beatles song but their version was more upbeat and poppy, John took it slowed it down and turned it into a Ballard. John has the distinction of having a number one hit in 5 separate decades. His stage shows are famous and he always has a great rapcore with his audience laughing a joking with them. The little joke at the beginning was he started to sing Sadie the Cleaning Lady his first hit from 1963 when he was 18 I think which was pure 60's bubble gum pop which he claims to be embarrassed of but it is still loved by his fans. He was not only a big solo artist he was the singer for a Great Aussie band called the Little River Band
@@malcolmrayner3480 If you listen to the words it does make an odd upbeat pop song. The only other time that I can think of a song with two such different versions is, and this may surprise, Tub Thumping. I heard a version of the song sung as a Ballard by a woman and it shocked the hell out of me it went from a upbeat silly drinking song into a crushingly tragic story of a woman being abused by a drunken husband . I am sure there are others but that one has always stuck with me because it was such a shock.
Our John all of you reaction guys make me smile because we aussies knew he was our secret for all those yrs . He really is the supreme vocalist him and jimmy barns xox thanks for doing this
Hi. If you like John Farnham here is a few for you to see. There are no bad songs with John Farnham. 1 = your the voice. With the Melbourne symphony orchestra. 2 = Amazing Grace. 1987. 3 = It’s a long way to the top. With the Melbourne symphony orchestra, the first time. 4 = when the war is over, the last time. Melbourne 2003. 5. = Angles. Live 2000. 6. = John sings this one with another Aussie legend, Jimmy Barnes. = look for. Hey hey it’s Saturday Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham, = When something is Wrong with my baby. If you like Jimmy Barnes, look for = Jimmy Barnes and Joe Bonamassa, = stone Cold. = Enjoy
John always likes to tease the audience with this piano opening as his first hit when he was 18, back in 1967 was a song called "Sadie, the cleaning lady" from his time as a teen pop idol; this version of the Beatles classic song, he performed in front of Queen Elizabeth at a Royal Variety Concert in the early to mid 70's. The best live performance is from his concert with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, I think 1989 or 1990.
Glad you chose to have a look at Farnsey. Pity you chose this performance instead of with the MSO (as others have noted), but how were you to know! 🙂 Suggest "You're the Voice" from the same MSO concert. "Angels" with Lisa Edwards. "When something is wrong with my Baby" with Jimmy Barnes (another Australian legend). And so many more ...
This song, Help, was the soundtrack song for The Beatles movie called Help! The original song is upbeat but the emotional power of John Farnham’s delivery knocks The Beatles’s version out of contention. Same melody & lyrics but completely different vibes.
Sadie ... that was his very first single, he was 17 and a plumber from Melbourne. All of us "teenyboppers" (I was about 13) instantly fell in love and loved him ever since. He is fabulous ... but not my favourite Aussie vocalist, many think he is the greatest but I like Jimmy Barnes' grit and there are sooo many amazing Aussie women.
I don't know if anyone else has suggested this, but John does an amazing performance of 'Gethsemane' in the part of Jesus in 'Jesus Christ Superstar'. Wonderful, heartfelt rendering of the song.
Here are a few more Classics from John You're the Voice czcams.com/video/6m2m_9Uijso/video.html In Days to Come czcams.com/video/DjSiWAwvWGU/video.html A duet with another Legend When Something is Wrong with My Baby czcams.com/video/ihsfx1LuoKc/video.html
Great video to start off with!! John's live videos are the best. Watch your subscribers go up as you do more of his :) - definitely one's with the MSO, but any live is good. You're the Voice, Touch of Paradise, Angels, When the War is Over (a cover of another great Aussie band), Amazing Grace, Burn for You, Chain Reaction...... so many more!
Yes! This one in a way is quite a humble introduction to Farnsey because very very rarely is he sitting down at a keyboard! Wait till he seems him on stage interacting with the audience and doing his thing!!
Another Australian highly recommending you try his version Live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Sublime. You don’t just get an amazing performance, but a real insight into how beloved he is here.
Still got those pipes aged 70. Sadly, recently discovered throat cancer. Tumour successfully removed. We are all praying for his fast and full recovery.
Dear Polo, BIG THANK YOU 4 yr honest surprise, and the little-seen vid clip of Farnsey's biggest(?) Internet hit. Since 1988 when he got the Bicentennial Australian of the Year award, he's been lovingly considered Australia's national treasure. Did you eventually twigg that this song is a power ballad rearrangement of the Beatles original ?? Hmmm ?? Thank you again. I guess now you're a John Far-"num" fan too. Welcome. :)
Treat yourself & watch John Fahrnam "You're the Voice" live. Any of the songs done with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. His nick name is The Voice. Thank you.
when he first starts to sing ...he sings --SADIE .( sadie the cleaning lady)..this was his first big hit in australia but a song that he hated later in his career. It was a constant ongoing joke at all of his live concerts with the crowd calling out for him to sing the song and him saying .....something along the lines of ....that aint gonna happen . It was the song that gave him his start but it was a cheesy pop song of the era that he hated later on .
Pity you didn't listen to the one with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. He did HELP and another great song called YOU'RE THE VOICE with the MSO. One of the Beatles (John or Paul maybe) listened to his version and loved it so much that they let him know they heard it and thought it was better than their original version. They are different though - John's was slower and with an orchestra as opposed to faster and more of a rock'n'roll song originally. John is famous down here and has done a lot of work over the years. You will find his work with Olivia Newton John who you would know from GREASE. They partner up a bit down here. One good one between them is the Sydney Olympics 2000 opening ceremony where they sing DARE TO DREAM together - that's on YT.
He's known as "The Voice", and you really, REALLY need to check out his song "You're The Voice" - czcams.com/video/tbkOZTSvrHs/video.html - if it doesn't choke you up at least a little when you consider the events in Eastern Europe the madman has set in motion, you aren't human.
It doesn't matter that you've taken this long to find him - all that matters is that you found him. Farnham doing a duet with *anyone* is pure magic too.
I love your 'reaction' . I am Australian and have to say I am glad I am older just to have experienced great music that is vocally and instrumentally driven and not created in a studio. I saw some suggestions below so hope you do those too. Just also wanted to mention that he has recently had surgery to remove a malignent tumor in his jaw. Now doing rehab - and that will be a long road. He has to learn to speak again because he lost some of his jaw. Embrace the music you can find because I know my life is a bit better for having his voice in my head. x
John Farnham has an incredible voice which ranges from A2 to G5. Always watch John in a LIVE performance. He was subdued in this one, being behind the keyboard. When he is out front on stage he is a dynamo with an electric performance and sooooo charismatic. He is the ultimate showman. His interaction with his audience is amazing and they do love him !

Got to listen to this song with the MSO Melbourne symphony orchestra it’s even on another level. Please react a lot more 2 Farnsey he’s an Australian icon I would recommend when something is wrong with my baby with Jimmy Barnes and Johnny Diesel
so much this. It the superior version for sure.
Agreed
Don't forget Daryl Braithwaite - he is just fantastic
I couldn't agree more on both counts. His version of this with the MSO is intensely powerful, and the duet with Jimmy Barnes (and Diesel) has got to be two of the best voices together. 💞
100% agree. As amazing as this version is, the one with the MSO is absolutely incredible.

Agree entirely, also need to add Please don't ask me with Olivia Newton John. Simply stunning. czcams.com/video/2uV_tZODfK8/video.html
As an Aussie and music theatre snob, his Gethsemene is the best version of JC Superstar I’ve EVER heard.
Aaah, you've tripped over the lip of the Farnsey Rabbit Hole. Aaand in you go.
John Farnham is a Legend.
☮️❤️🦘🇦🇺
Welcome to the world of John Farnham he is Australia's ultimate number 1 for decades. He is known as The Voice. He is still pitch perfect in his 70's. Great reaction.❤️🇦🇺👍
John Farnham is called The Voice for good reason.
He’s incredible!!!!
John “The Voice” Farnham. Australia’s greatest live performer and vocalist hands down.
I reckon he is the worlds best live performer!
@@shoresaresandy I’m not gonna argue with you. Of all I’ve seen in concert. His voice, presence and crowd interaction has been second to none.
Our John ❤ The G.O.A.T. The Voice! Can sing any genre and he is beautiful person who genuinely loves and respects his band and his audience ❤🎉
The world is finally catching on.
What blows me away is that John used to frequently sing this as his closing number. Like, that is SUCH a vocal flex, my god.

Aussie GOAT‼️
He almost brought everything, last time he had the whole symphony orchestra 🤣

He sings so effortlessly. Here he is just sitting there playing the keys and singing with more power than most pros on the planet
One of the greatest singers you will ever hear in your life! Guaranteed!
John Farnham is one of the most respected and acclaimed singer in the world.
Celine Dion worships him. She told him "You are 'The Voice'..."

John Lennon got to hear this arrangement and loved it as it was in it's original time signature that they speed up to make it more pop for the movie

Melbourne symphony version is amazing , so passionate and heartfelt...John farnham is an Australian icon, nothing he can't sing
Quite probably the finest singer Australia has ever produced!!
World quality production, amazing singer ability and sad the US seem to never heard of John Farnham.?
Welcome to Farnsy Music 🎶 This is actually a cover version of the Beatles Song - Help ❗ But in Way different Arrangement and Style . 🤜🏼🤛🏾✌
John Farnham wrote the iconic song The Voice. Now that song is famous all over the world. John was happy to stay in Australia and be huge there.
He didn't write it, he probably adapted it.
This is real music and a real voice! Listen to a later recording with John and Jimmy Barnes, singing 'When something is wrong with my woman' 🥰
John's performance with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is steps ahead of this performance, he shows so much emotion.
I read somewhere that John Lennon very much approved this cover and stated that Farnham played it as it should have been originally.
I loved this so much! Watching you hear John Farnham for the first time was beautiful!
You must watch him live with the Melbourne Sympony Orchestra . THE VOICE THE G.O.A.T.
One of the best singer ever for me.
Hi. If you like John Farnham here is a few for you to see. There are no bad songs with John Farnham. 1 = your the voice. With the Melbourne symphony orchestra. 2 = Amazing Grace. 1987. 3 = It’s a long way to the top. With the Melbourne symphony orchestra, the first time. 4 = when the war is over, the last time. Melbourne 2003. 5. = Angles. Live 2000. 6. = John sings this one with another Aussie legend, Jimmy Barnes. = look for. Hey hey it’s Saturday Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham, = When something is Wrong with my baby. If you like Jimmy Barnes, look for = Jimmy Barnes and Joe Bonamassa, = stone Cold. = Enjoy
I second this...Excellent list. Maybe add Thats Freedom and Chain Reaction as well.
Agree with all of the above 💯
John always likes to tease the audience with this piano opening as his first hit when he was 18, back in 1967 was a song called "Sadie, the cleaning lady" from his time as a teen pop idol; this version of the Beatles classic song, he performed in front of Queen Elizabeth at a Royal Variety Concert in the early to mid 70's.

This song, Help, was the soundtrack song for The Beatles movie called Help!
The original song is upbeat but the emotional power of John Farnham’s delivery knocks The Beatles’s version out of contention.
Same melody & lyrics but completely different vibes.
It sounds effortlessbut he does work up a sweat.
Sadie ... that was his very first single, he was 17 and a plumber from Melbourne. All of us "teenyboppers" (I was about 13) instantly fell in love and loved him ever since. He is fabulous ... but not my favourite Aussie vocalist, many think he is the greatest but I like Jimmy Barnes' grit and there are sooo many amazing Aussie women.
Farnham’s voice is crazy
John is the consummate entertainer who interacts with his audience. Check out his performance with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
The great Vanessa and Lindsay doing back up vocals
The voice of Australia
Your the voice with the Melbourne symphony orchestras live
The version with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is really up there🎉
I don't know if anyone else has suggested this, but John does an amazing performance of 'Gethsemane' in the part of Jesus in 'Jesus Christ Superstar'. Wonderful, heartfelt rendering of the song.

Farnsy is the voice! ✨
Another Australian highly recommending you try his version Live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Sublime. You don’t just get an amazing performance, but a real insight into how beloved he is here.
Still got those pipes aged 70. Sadly, recently discovered throat cancer. Tumour successfully removed. We are all praying for his fast and full recovery.
Johnnys in his 70s now and his voice is still as good as it ever was.
My favourite John Farnham song is "When the war is over". Check it out. Live of course. Fantastic voice and great guitar solo.
Check out John's live version of Amazing Grace with those two fantastic backing singers, it's inspiring.
Love this version
You have to listen to the live version with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. You’re missing out if your don’t
Oh jeez I love him. His voice sends chills through me every single time. What a huge talent.
I was just advising this version for you. John is known as The Voice in Australia.

Hi, check out his concert with Melbourne symphony orchestra it is nothing short of brilliant including an even better version of Help.
Australian legend right there mate. Love that you got into it. I’m having a Proud Aussie moment 🇦🇺🦘👍🏻😊

You should watch John sing Help with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
It's unreal
Aussie Legend. Burn For You next!😍😄
Pity you didn't listen to the one with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. He did HELP and another great song called YOU'RE THE VOICE with the MSO.

He's known as "The Voice", and you really, REALLY need to check out his song "You're The Voice" - czcams.com/video/tbkOZTSvrHs/video.html - if it doesn't choke you up at least a little when you consider the events in Eastern Europe the madman has set in motion, you aren't human.
Always do the live version of Aussie singers, especially John! This You’re the Voice is better czcams.com/video/6m2m_9Uijso/video.html
It doesn't matter that you've taken this long to find him - all that matters is that you found him. Farnham doing a duet with *anyone* is pure magic too.
I love your 'reaction' . I am Australian and have to say I am glad I am older just to have experienced great music that is vocally and instrumentally driven and not created in a studio.
I saw some suggestions below so hope you do those too. Just also wanted to mention that he has recently had surgery to remove a malignent tumor in his jaw. Now doing rehab - and that will be a long road. He has to learn to speak again because he lost some of his jaw. Embrace the music you can find because I know my life is a bit better for having his voice in my head. x
The version with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra or MSO it’s probably a better one. John is the GOAT!
Mate you have to react to Farnsie sing live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra
Your the Voice. It is a rock anthem for the ages
Your reaction is great.
You got a great voice for radio man.
You’ve got to watch help and the Voice with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. It’s brilliant.
That was His casual version ahah
This is a slowed down version of The Beatles song. Sounds so completely different 🐨🐨
