IF John never sings again, it makes me sad..... not for me or his fans, but for HIM. He so obviously enjoys singing, you can't fake the pleasure on his face, the way he closes his eyes.... singing for John is like breathing for you and I. I wish John nothing but good health and happiness, and hopefully he can manage a tune again, only for himself :) Love you JF, you have given us fans quality music for so long, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts ❤❤

This is in my opinion the best version of this song, by anyone. Even here with John a bit older his voice is still pristine. With all the belting he’s done throughout his career he never blew his voice out unlike so many great singers. He is definitely the greatest male vocalist of all time. And Brett Garsed on guitar is epic.

John Farnham is doing well , out-of-hospital weeks finished the first part of his rehab slot earlier than expected , he's now in his 70,s and even if you didn't sing again he's left a legacy with all the other songs he has sung , that will live on forever . I've heard worldwide singers who are renowned singers who can't even touch this man's voice . John is revered over here in Australia and loved by all , great man ,humble a bit of joker at times but how do you interrupt GREATNESS , and this is what we are talking about when it comes to John Farnham's voice. 💕

In an interview John commented that he thoroughly enjoyed long periods of singing in the shower very much, experimenting with his voice. He recorded 'The Acoustic Chapel Sessions' Live album. John watched the 2022 Australian Football League Finals pre game concert in Melbourne from his hospital bed. Robbie Williams was the main guest singer and payed tribute to John by singing 'Your The Voice' with John on the big screen and with the footy fans. Apparently it took John to tears. Keep getting well, John. We love you.

I watch John on YT every day - the beauty of YT on mobile phones - take John everywhere with me. Bliss. Oct'24. UK. E❤

Farnham was in his 50s when he did this. Vocals still phenomenal! The guy is almost operatic at times; but just as comfortable singing rock, jazz or blues. He could sing the proverbial phone book and turn it into a masterpiece 🙌 We've been lucky to have him for so long.

Plus what a heck of a nice guy, and spends most of his stage time between songs thanking everyone around him, making sure the people helping him are put into the spot light. I mean where does it stop ! What a voice and what a talent , but what a nice human ! I have watched this reaction and others to this song and its all the same ..... People like yourselves just sitting back in awe of this man wondering what he can't do ! Everyday hoping to hear that John is as fit and healthy as can be . I just keep saying every time i watch him , wow what more can he do, then i watch the next clip and say the same bloody thing lol ! John Farnham is simply The Voice ! Nuff said ! Cheers lads !

Thanks for making me watch this video again; really, I do appreciate that. I am very familiar with John Chisel singing this song, and this particular performance as well. So much so that I will often not click on the link when it comes up in my KZbin feed. That's the problem sometimes when you are so spoiled and so fortunate to have enjoyed John Farnham for so long, that you forget just how truly special his talent is. Sadly, sometimes I am no longer surprised by the enormity of John's voice, it's just ordinary for him. It's what we expect from him. Kind of: "yeah, yeah, we know ... John bloody Farnham monstering another song". And then, someone or something makes you click on the link and watch the song again and you become transfixed and mesmerized, and when the song ends you realize you are sitting there with tears in the corners of your eyes, wondering why the song isn't on high rotation on your play list. Thank you for giving me that moment again.

It was an entire album, a reworking/re recording of a bunch of his biggest hits, in this gorgeous old chapel in Melbourne or Adelaide, all acoustic and some of the songs completely re-written, such as a swing version of You're the Voice it's outstanding. The recording was all filmed for a dvd release to be bought alongside the cd if wanted and its brilliant. All available in youtube now of course.

Every time I hear your into, it takes me back to being a kid, laying on the lounge here in Oz, and some of my fave British shows started on the with that on the TV. Possibly my fave Cold Chisel song and one of my all time faves. Written by the drummer Steve Prestwich (R.I.P.). EVERY member of the band wrote a hit song.. And the amazing, beautiful female backing singer at 9:05 is my drummer mate's SISTER! The amazingly talented Dannielle Gaha This song gives me "frisson", (goosebumps caused by music etc).. Only 15% of people get it, very over-represented in musicians, which isnt a surprise..

Not sure I've ever witnessed a male vocalist in popular music have such a range and be able to hit it with so much force. His voice doesn't have the density of say Tom Jones or richness of Elvis. And there is a wider range in Prince. And more nuanced highs from say Steve Perry... But it isn't about comparisons. It is about looking at a vocalist who is stellar and admiring the peformance. Brilliant vocal. Wonderful singer.

I heard John live when he was 70, and he hit every note, just like he did in his 20s, 30s, 40s. One of the best male vocalists of all time.

John always delivers. As far as unplugged check out his acapella version of 'Amazing Grace' - that is mind blowing. Love him but hope we share a few more undiscovered bands for you to enjoy. Keep up the great work boys.

Thank you so much for reacting to this particular live version. Words are hard to find listening to John singing this song, so the hair on the back of my neck and the tear in the eye will have to do.... I love the way John is so proud of his band, from his keyboard player Chong at the beginning and his guitarist at the end. I also love what Angus his drummer does with this song. Thanks again, you are very entertaining and deserve your award. G'day from Australia.

Much as I am a huge fan of both Barnsey and Mossy and they do an amazing rendition of this, their own chisel song. I can't help but think that it takes the 2 of them to make the song comparative to 1 John Farnham.

Loved the song. Especially the fact it is all about the music. Every piece added was a compliment to the song. The vocals the harmonies and the guitar riff were all there to compliment the song. The vocals were powerful and were delivered to compliment and support the whole. Very well done.

Another brilliant Farnham performance, he really emotes the whole thing. And he’s still in Hospital at the moment so here’s hoping he might be watching this on a iPad or phone seeing how much people enjoy , relish & love his singing. I say chaps , any chance of ‘Tina Arena’ singing Chains .. could someone ask Cris ?

Thank you for this. Really enjoy your reactions. Farnham sings this song so well. I remember seeing him play in pubs around Melbourne in the 70s, everyone thought he was a has-been then. Wow, we were so wrong. All the best for your recovery John.

The greatest of all time,I always go through the same motions listening to John, goosebumps as he starts and as the song bills you’re overcome, because you know what’s coming. He makes you forget any problems and you get lost in the feeling only John can send through his music,Please boys give us a Farnham week god knows we can use it.

To answer your question about if John's done an acoustic album... he sure has, back in 2011, and just like John, it's phenonemal... I've been watching you guys video after video for your reaction to the master legendary icon that is John Farnham... been amazing to watch you and hear what you have to say... and pretty much everyone is spot on with saying 'Help' with the MSO is the best intro to John, aside from "you're the voice", Help is 100% the quintessential introduction to John... and I always enjoy watching those reaction videos the most with that song and John's version, and your reactions were spot on... anyway, so glad that you guys discovered and experienced John Farnham... it just doesn't get any better than that man... anyway here's one of the many links (this is wikipedia's) that you can find out about that acoustic album... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Acoustic_Chapel_Sessions
