AUSSIE LEGEND! | Bridge Over Troubled Water - John Farnham (1979) FIRST TIME REACTION

[@beresfordthompson1370]

This is the greatest and most versatile male vocalist of all time. John can sing anything, any genre, including opera. His diction and clarity is perfection.

[@kennykarlsson6691]

He is the very definition of singing. The voice of all time and master of every music genre. ❤ He was still pheonomal at the age of 70yo before he got sick.

[@AnneSmith-lr7cp]

I love the looks on the faces he inspires

[@malcolmrayner3480]

Born in 1949 and was a pop idol from 1967 to 1979 so he is 30 here.

[@markflint2629]

Just beautiful

[@michaellincoln3739]

If a young John Farnham was starting out today, he would win EVERY talent quest he went into to - that's how freakishly talented he is. A once in a 100 years performer. And he's a nice guy.

[@AussieDebb]

You must react to as much of his 5 decades of music. He is so technically gifted and does not make mistakes. He only ever sings from his soul. His voice was impeccable right up to the last time he performed before his mouth surgery at 71 years young. 😍😍😍

[@alyn927]

Makes me cry from the emotion in his voice e v e r y time I see this. Thankyou

[@joanmonaghan8428]

John was 30 here. This was the period between his pop star status and his career as a solo singer. You might not believe it but at this time he was not being taken seriously as a creditable singer. It took the release of his album Whispering Jack for him to be recognised as the brilliant singer he always was and is.

[@magpiegirl3783]

His voice has been top-tier for over five decades. He has given us so much music to love.

[@darrenlocke2195]

Please react to many more of John’s and particularly his live performances. Awesome you enjoyed John’s work. It’s is only the beginning of a mountain of legendary performances Great reaction mate.

[@justlinsu]

Awesome reaction my friend. John can sing any genre...yes even opera lol. but he loves rock.

[@alimac1469]

John always delivers. So much for you to explore. Us Aussies are lucky to have loved him for so long.

[@queenslanddiva]

And this was at a time when no one on tv or radio wanted anything to do with John. Don Lane, who had his own variety show, was an exception. Can you imagine how much we actually missed out on during this time? Thankfully Glen Wheatley came along and the rest, as they say, is history. Great reaction!

[@shenoashbay1361]

Just a baby back then , he had fantastic awareness of when to bring the mike in and out.

[@LoccdWolfReacts]

I was wrong he was 30

[@micheleallen]

He is actually 30 in 1979. Love him. He can sing anything. He had his first hit when he was 18. It was called Sadie the Cleaning Lady. He never misses a note.

[@Oldbutnotout65]

That's our John, about 30 in this clip, a real "pretty boy", a heart throb for many of us. Pure Talent!! Never had a singing lesson, no auto-tune, and no-one has ever heard him sing a bad note. That's why he is "the Voice". He always gives 110%, but never thought he was good enough. He is a humble, lovely human being. Funny, a true "Aussie" Larrikin. Loved by all, public and music industry. I look forward to you doing some more reactions. Thank you. ❣

[@darrenlocke2195]

I loved your facial expression with your mouth open like WHAT. Yup John’s awesome and great reaction bud. Please go through his play list.

[@nikkil2580]

GOAT.

[@kennethdodemaide8678]

Perfection.

[@jennygavrilovic7415]

Wait till you get to see him sing with The Little River Band We Two! Or When The War Is Over from The Last Time Concert in 2003!

[@georgeibrahim7945]

Mate that’s why we call him the voice down under. He’s been singing for over half a century. Check him out singing a Beatles classic “help” live with the Melbourne symphony orchestra it’s phenomenal

[@SuzyTrippa]

His voice always moves me emotionally! Great reaction! ❤

[@barnowl.]

John Farnham is a genius of a vocal gymnast. He has a powerful and big vocal range and can sing in over 20 genres all the way from hard rock and roll to the sweetest songs.

[@LizzieRD]

Flawless is the right word for John Farnham

[@micheleallen]

He got better and better as he got older.

[@jlc1306]

Wow

[@julzhunt7790]

It’s Farnsey, he’s the heart of this big beautiful Aussie family. ❤️🇦🇺😊 great reaction.

[@deanwilliams8331]

stop the Farnsey crap fair bloody dinkum

[@LeahJ-hf3nk]

John Farnham is like a good scotch, a young scotch is good, an older scotch is epic, John Farnham is epic. You should check out John Farnham and the Melbourne symphony orchestra, songs.... - playing to win - help - your the voice - it's a long way to the top This is the Farnham rabbit hole, you have an epic journey a head of you. ❤ ❤️👍👍👍🇦🇺

[@grandy2875]

I'd compare John to a Penfolds Grange Hermitage and the PGH would come off an extremely distant 2nd... 😉 🙃🐨🇦🇺

[@janetcorbett7362]

What a voice. Brilliant song, brilliant interpretation by John.

[@carolynh8866]

Yes he is 30 in this one. He's been on top of our charts since he was 18 and was still performing up until covid and his recent battle with cancer. He is now 74 and is cancer free but we probably wint see him perform again. But that ok as he has given his all to us for 7 decades with too charting hits through each decade. Just last month he held 12 of the 20 album spots just last month. He is a true blue aussir legend. You need to hear him at his peak when he was closer to 40 than 30. Check out his most famous songs You're the Voice and Help live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra .. This is a very deep rabbit hole. Be prepared ❤ He sings everything from hard rock to gentle ballads with a twist of rock. Country to Musical theatre and it's all right in his lane. He's done covers of ACDC, Led Zeplin, Beatles along with his own original songs. Olus he has a too notch band who have been with him since the 80's they are like a band of brothers (and sisters) Hope you wilk take time to check out some more from out Aussie favourite

[@supaphonsingsuwan4799]

Hi my dear you are right there and spot on my darling. He the best what’s you asked for better than John . God and I love him forever ❤

[@LoccdWolfReacts]

So true

[@janicestewart5658]

That's one of my fav songs..😊

[@Dr_KAP]

It seems immediately apparent to me that you’re one of the very few reactors who actually understand a bit about music. Yes the notes he hits are phenomenal but also how he transitions between pitches just wow. His signature song is You’re the voice- I’d recommend the version on my channel only because I’ve mastered the sound to the level it deserves, the other KZbin versions are CRAP given it is an orchestra they just don’t do it justice!! ❤

[@LoccdWolfReacts]

Thank you! I know a lil something about music but i'm just a lover of music and i admire it all and the art

[@davidhandson2429]

Loved the authentic reaction. This is the first time watching your reactions. I don't know if you have reacted to our other Australian Legend Jimmy Barnes but if not could you please check out Stone Cold by Jimmy Barnes featuring Joe Bonamassa. You will love it. Cheers mate 👍

[@dondelbiondo1258]

Boom Boom… .

[@kethlyfallon5095]

Fantastic reaction!! welcome to the Farnsey family please explore more check out Help with the Melbourne Symphony orchestra it is a vocal performance you won’t ever forget once you’ve seen it enjoy

[@LoccdWolfReacts]

Thank you! Will do!

[@dedriesmith7789]

You should hear johns version of Georgia, so great and not sure if you have hear john sing ,when the war is over ,live from his last time concert ,i think he was in hes 50's truely amazing ,im so glad that other people are appreciating john ,he wis truely amazing .

[@danschiavello]

You really should check out John singing Georgia from around the same time. It's even better than this!

[@christineyates2618]

John was born in 1948, i think August.

[@gerardadegroof]

Elvis Presly’s version is better

[@LoccdWolfReacts]

ok

[@moniquewood9638]

Nope
