John is the greatest Aussie singer of all time, He is known as the voice in Aussie, The only way to watch John is live he’s a great performer on stage, I think his greatest is it’s a long way to the top with MSO in Melbourne, he redid help the Beatles song

[@suave-rider]

well he was. He will never sing again.

[@susanburns276]

Well put 👍 his voice is absolutely brilliant! My Mum now 80, loved him from the Sadie day's.🇭🇲

[@reezy6677]

@@suave-riderthat's a bit presumptuous, we don't know whether he will or not. I met someone the other day that had exactly the same surgery as John & had a 100% recovery. Don't forget, his family have said he's recovering well. Hopefully we will see him sing again one day.

[@Paul-lx2pc]

@@suave-rider JF is a fighter and never say never. It will be a long journey but he may surprise us all. That's the type of guy he is...

[@suave-rider]

@@Paul-lx2pc I have 2 words for you. John Blackman.

[@carolynh8866]

Awesome reaction BP1 AND BP2. Great to see you react to not just the greatest voice in Australia but one of the greatest of all time and one of the very few performers who is blessed to sound even better live than recorded. John never missed a note and has perfect pitch. His interaction with the audience is amazing to watch live. The Voice and several of his other hits were big in the UK and Europe but no where near as well known as he is in Aus. He was still performing until fairly recently and his voice was still amazing and could still hit those high notes with ease. Sadly with his current treatment for cancer in his jaw, it's unlikely he will ever perform live again and the whole of Australia is behind him wishing him the best outcome. There are literally hundreds of great live performances of John available on the internet so this proud Aussie is hoping that you will check out a lot more from this Aussie Icon. Any thing from that same concert with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is a great start. Try HELP, That's Freedom, It's a Long way to the Top (ACDC cover), Age of Reason, Take the Pressure Down. Cheers from Aus!!

[@shoresaresandy]

John Farnham is the GOAT, he is always better live as he feeds off his audience. He is a complete entertainer. His humour, humanity, his love of his band and audience is legendary. Any song from this concert is amazing!

[@sunisbest1234]

Yep, I came here to say the same. Saw him live a few times, back in the day. His interaction with his audience, humour and respect and love he has for his back up singers and band makes him a brilliant, all round entertainer. Plus, he is just a really nice bloke. What you see is who he is! Hope he makes a full recovery and is able to enjoy his, hopefully, many years left with his lovely family and friends.

[@queenslanddiva]

Adding my voice to your watching Help, live with the MSO. You will NOT see a better live performance anywhere. John is The Voice. And an Aussie icon.

[@rebeccamunoz2948]

Love you guys doing this one. Please give a listen to “Help” from the same concert. Talk about a banger, Johns voice is iconic 💕💕🎶🎶🦋

[@TheMarlsi]

The man is consistently flawless. You will never see another like him. 🤘😎😢

[@alisonrogers3286]

Always react to his LIVE performances. No trickery required. Next time try out his version of the Beatles 'Help'.

[@archcollie5708]

Brilliant performance, and well done, guys. John will never sing again, (mouth cancer) but his legend status will live forever. As others will say, 'Help' is his best, but anything he does, especially with Jimmy Barnes, is the bomb. Check out their duet "When something is wrong with my Baby."

[@robertcockerell3640]

We grew up with John Farnham on our TVs and wirelesses from 1967. He is the soundtrack to our Aussie lives and he is just fantastic live singing any genre you can think of.

[@terrykemp1876]

Check out "Help" live with the MSO. Astounding.

[@carmelmcshanag8144]

I may be remembering incorrectly, but I think when John first got hold of this song, he asked for the bagpipe solo. The original recording was entirely synthesised except for the bagpipes ... and then they inadvertently forgot to credit him on the album. This guy is wearing Australia's tartan and John always showcases his fellow artists ... you are right! He is a great singer but is also incapable of singing a bad note ... anything from this concert will blow your minds! He does a legendary cover of the Beatles "Help" to close the show! Then there's the rest of his catalogue! He covers "Black DOg" and sings with other legends including Queen, Ray Charles and Tom Jones. He and Tom did a whole series together. The entire nation is sending him love right now as he gets through this huge health challenge! You're also right that life is unfair! The greatest vocalist on the planet should never be afflicted with mouth cancer. He has had to have his jaw reconstructed at 73 and may never sing again! He gave us plenty and we just want him happy and healthy! Get well Farnsey!

[@BritPopsReact]

@Carmel McShanag Hello and thanks for the great comment. We will be back with more from John soon.

[@adammuir]

Careful gents! The Farnsey rabbit hole goes HELLA DEEP!

[@viviennerodgers5351]

John is The Voice of Australia. Best male singer for 6 decades.

[@janwatson7981]

Heard John sing this a couple of years ago at the age of 70 and his voice was just as powerful!

[@Dr_KAP]

Some fun facts:- 1) Freddy Mercury thought Farnham had one of the best voices he’d heard and Queen approached John Farnham to be their lead singer before anyone else 2) John Lennon said Farnham’s version of HELP was how it was intended to be sung 3) Farnham’s range is 3.2 octaves, he can sing opera, Broadway, soul, pop and rock. He chose not to go international for family reasons. 4) He’s sung with Tom Jones, Ray Charles, Celine and more. Look forward to more from you guys thank you for this reaction. We appreciate it very much.

[@gazza8127]

Wow, never knew that about Queen, we can only imagine how good that would have been had he agreed? If We will rock you is any indication it could have been incredible!

[@miniveedub]

Another fun fact, the tartan the bagpiper is wearing is the Australia tartan.

[@Dr_KAP]

@@miniveedub correct!

[@Paldasan]

Waiting for @dr_KAP to make a template or infographic for all these reactions.

[@getreal4371]

Hi Dr_kap, just a question. When did John Lennon say he liked" Help" by John Farnham. John Lennon was killed in 1980. Is there version of Help by Farnsy before1980???

[@brettbridger362]

I'd recommend some of the crossovers as well. Try 'When Something Is Wrong With My Baby" with Jimmy Barnes (live, of course). In Aus, we refer to them as 'Farnsie & Barnsie'. Farnsie was in the band 'Little River Band' for a while and Barnsie was one of the lead singers in Cold Chisel. Farnsie almost became the replacement for Freddy Mercury in Queen after his death.

[@brettbridger362]

@@michellebostock3134 he got through the interviews and such, but during negotiations it all fell through.

[@vickiroman189]

YES! For more of John's larger-than-life talent and awesomeness, you must check out his covers of Led Zep's "Black Dog" kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGO8mmmKi85gqbc and AC DC's "Long way to the Top": kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHyWoap4Z6uiqtE

[@barnowl5774]

John migrated to Melbourne, Australia with his family when he was ten. He was singing in bands from the age of fourteen. He became an Australian citizen and was awarded the Order Of Australia for his services to the Australian music industry. He has a powerful, clear and totally in tune voice of a number of octaves and sings in over twenty different genres. He is well- loved by Australians and they are with him all the way in his wonderful sell-out, many times over, concerts. A number of his songs have a message for the greater good of the world. He is the consummate, charismatic showman.

[@jenniferworley7115]

First time hearing John Farnham. What a voice. He is incredible. Can't wait for you to do more reactions to his music. As I was listening I immediately thought I've got to go look for more of his music but I will wait and join in with your reactions. Love you guys. Thanks for sharing the joy.😃🤗

It’s you’re the voice not your lol. This man is the voice and greatest singer of all time in my opinion. Should check out his cover of the Beatles cover “help” live at this same concert

[@peterhoz]

You guys need to do 2 more songs from this same concert: Help (the Beatles song, rearranged) and Long Way to the Top. Make sure you get it with Farnham & the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Best versions!

[@vls3771]

We went to see the late Whitney Houston in Australia when she was at her peak john was the support act .Whitney later said "it's best if we don't share the same show I don't want to come on after hearing that voice.,"

[@davidhodgins7122]

The Man The Legend, beautiful voice power and passion. This is not a song its an Anthem. The unofficial Australian National Anthem that more than just an entire Country know all the words to. I am Canadian and I will stand for this man singing this song. Much RESPECT!!!!!!

[@micheleallen]

Anything live by John is brilliant. He can sing so many genres of music. He can sing a soft Ballard to full on rock. Please react to more of him, please please.

[@Anna-yi7vu]

Australia's best we love him!

[@magpiegirl3783]

This song was John's "return" from the wilderness. After years of success on the "pop" scene (and some musical theatre) radios wouldn't play his music. His manager mortgaged his house to help finance the production and - voila - John's anthem came into being and resulted in a huge hit locally and internationally and suddenly all the radio stations were playing John Farnham again. Hit after hit followed with him performing umpteen rounds of concerts through into the 2000s. John was tagged as "The Voice" in Australia and no one argues that he isn't. Great singer, great performer, great human being. Get will John.

[@BritPopsReact]

@Magpie Girl Hello to you and thank you for the interesting comment. Cheers

[@mals4125]

His cover of the Beatles 'HELP' from the same live series is truly one of the greatest live tunes ever. - You think you know that song - you don't.

[@consciousbeing1188]

This song was released circa 1986... Three years later, crowds of tens of thousands were chanting it on both sides of the Berlin Wall as they witnessed its fall. Many of those who were there still tear-up upon hearing this timeless classic today

[@julieeverett7442]

And nearly 40 years later people STILL go wild when the bagpipes play, an iconic part of the song and still best listened to live!

[@devilsadvocate2548]

Nice reaction guys. This is why so many people say the only way to listen to Farnsey is to listen to him live. If you also want to be be blown away by his 'live' voice listen to him sing Led Zeppelin's Black Dog as a 'sound check'.

[@jenell56]

John's voice is so superb! Thank you for doing this song. His redo of the Beatles song Help at the same Concert as this one is definitely one you should check out Guys 🙂

[@jenniferrogers2234]

Love your channel. You guys have to see John Farnham Live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra singing “Playing To Win”. I guarantee you’ll be blown away!

[@denisbryce8746]

What a lot of people don't realise, is that John can also sing Opera. I used to work as a sound engineer at EMI Records Australia & he often, during his rehearsals & recording breaks, he sings Nessum Dorma, Vesti La Giubba & Celeste Aida. Three of the more famous Tenor Operatic Aria's.

[@thinkbeforesaying244]

John Farnham is an amazing live performer who also has a wicked sense of humour.

[@NebraskaGonvilleJones]

You have to do Farnsey live with ‘Help’ from the same concert. It is seriously amazing!

[@carolerooney407]

The 1st time I heard it in the 80s I felt empowered. It still has that impact today. This would have been an amazing concert to attend

[@robertzoomer9886]

Try him at the beginning to see more of his range of voice Bridge over troubled Water, Granada with Anthony Warlow , an Opera singer our Phantom, they have a bit of lark on stage.

[@Katrina-mi2gm]

So glad you had mentioned Granada- not only the vocals from both of those legends is out of this world, but their comedic timing is absolutely brilliant and side-splitting. Perfect entertainment.

[@christinefurlong719]

John could still belt out a song right up until his cancer diagnosis. His voice was as strong as ever at age 72. Aussies best ever singer. We all hope he has a good recovery and will still be able to sing. We are very proud of him.👏👏👏

[@nigelmcconnell1909]

Like bagpipes with a rock band? Check out ACDC performing "Long way to the top" on the back of a truck moving through Melbourne CBD followed by a pipe band 😄

[@FreeTheRocks]

After the bagpipe solo, John didn't just throw the mic stand.....he tossed it high in the air and caught it(this time). He often did that at the same point in the song.

[@wgsips]

You got to listen to John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes, with: something is wrong with my baby.. two icons!!

Please react to his live performance of Playing To Win. If you don't mind a ballad, watch his live performance of Burn For You.

[@markagerman1223]

One of the greatest singers of all time. PERIOD

[@doc6186]

Well done guys. I look forward to you starting to explore Farnsey. It may take you a while, there's a lot of ground to cover and crosses many genres of music. From Rock to (almost) Opera. Only one rule - LIVE performances only! I guess a logical place to go next is at the end of the same concert performing his version of "Help" by the Beatles (kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqeYZZqfhLiFgdU). While you're at it you may as well check out another Aussie legend - Jimmy Barnes with and without his band Cold Chisel. To help you transition across you could take a look at Barnsey and Farnsey performing together, "When Something is Wrong With My Baby" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3mTknuvn9-KqbM). Best wishes to Farnsey with his cancer battle.

[@davidcruse6589]

Welcome down the rabbit hole 5 decades to pick from Watch help next remake of Beatles song who loved his version Again live with Melbourne symphony orchestra John was singing for charity in his 70s still had the voice as well even the high notes a freak of nature Also another Aussie legend to look at Jimmy barnes he went solo from the band cold chisel both great Ian moss sings in cold chisel with Jimmy

[@tiaelina1090]

I saw John in 2019 and the concert was amazing, even in his 70’s his voice is still as strong and powerful.

[@kellyhardiman855]

Hello guys. Aussie here, just discovered you and have subscribed. 🙂 Thank you for introducing our GOAT John Farnham to a fresh audience. This song resonates strongly with so many Australians, and now has extra meaning given John's health battle. Really enjoyed your recent AFL reactions too (yes I'm a happy Geelong supporter). Found it entertaining to see the quirks of our footy code though your eyes. Note: Robbie Williams performed You're The Voice in the Grand Final pre-match entertainment as a tribute to John. Look forward to watching more of your reactions. And like the rest of the folks on here with good taste, strongly recommend you watch John's rendition of Help. I love The Beatles but John takes the song some place extra special. Cheers!

[@BritPopsReact]

@Kelly Hardiman Hi Kelly, thanks for the support and the kind comment. We are having fun with AFL and will be getting into that during the new season and we have a new reaction to John coming soon. Cheers

There’s a lot of singers out there but none come close to John. His voice is powerful. It’s unique. Sending love and good vibes to John and his family 💕💕

[@KD-wi1zl]

One of my all time favorite songs. His voice is powerful and amazing. There is truth in the song, why can't we all just get along.

[@karenstrong8887]

Don’t call John or my husband a Brit. They both moved here as kids. John became a Citizen really fast in the 80’s when he found he was about to be awarded Australian of the year. He was 70 last time I heard him sing and he sounded just like that. Now you need to hear him sing Help live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. It might be a Beatles song but John shows them how to sing it. John had number one hits in 5 consecutive decades. The Voice is our Legend and I have not seen any genre he cannot sing yet. I saw a part of an interview tonight with his sons. John is blown away that Australia are with him and love him. He thought he was forgotten and that will never happen. Not with reactors and us listening. He has given us more than 50 years of music and it is enough. God loves you John, as much as Australia does so get well. ❤ Thank you.

[@jacqui07b]

John Farnham is the voice. The tragedy is the cancer he is recovering from is in his throat. Thanks for playing this Aussie icon

[@EileenSpeakman]

No no no. Not throat cancer. Oral cancer, in the jaw. Successfully removed. Jaw reconstruction. Vocal cords NOT affected. . He announced he was cancer free August 2023, 12 months after surgery. His sons say he is singing round the house. . July'24. UK. E❤

[@andrewhall9175]

Yes yes he’s the voice and all that, but his microphone stand game is also second to none. Playing to Win from the Acoustic Chapel Sessions is more recent than this and is a great demo of how well his voice stood up to the test of time. Fun fact: I have been the piper in that song for John a number of times

checkout his version of "HELP" Beatles cover fron the same concert, mind blowing!

[@hackapump]

He had a bit of the same trajectory as Olivia Newton John: a British born Aussie who emerged in the 60s. Of course she moved to the US and became ONJ with the whole world, while John had some hard times after leaving Little River Band, before he had glorious comeback with this monster hit in 1986. Apparently they were friends, but it was later in their lives that they actually got to sing together, (in the 90s and later, I think - and of course at the 2000 Sydney Olympics). And now he’s fighting cancer, literally weeks after she passed. The two of them are probably the universally most loved artists in Australia. And this song might just as well have been their national anthem. John Farnham-era Little River Band is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. If nothing else, their Playing To Win is a bonafide 80s banger.

[@melanieslack8645]

You’re just about to enter an endless rabbit hole with John. Soooooo many song to react to. Help, a Beatles song. John Lennon said that is how he wanted it to be sung, as a ballad not a pop song like their producers wanted. That’s just the start. YOU’RE WELCOME!! 😆

[@davidri2141]

There have been a number of famous international artists do a live version with John on stage including Celine Dion and Coldplay. Most recently, 24 September’22, Robbie Williams who was the headline pre-game entertainer at the AFL Grand Final sang it as a tribute to John who is currently recovering from cancer surgery.

[@tomwareham7944]

Farnsey is an Australian national treasure despite the fact he was a refugee from Pomgolia , his live performances are always better than his recordings and they are spectacular . His musicians and backup singers are all recognised performers here in AUS and his shows which included banter with the audience who sang along at any given chance were an experience you will never forget, his tribute cover of the Beatles song HELP is his most reacted to performance on U TUBE so I suggest you check it out , but he has dozens of songs and all of them are amazing , my favourites are PLAYING TO WIN , WHEN THE WAR IS OVER , ANGELS , and if you want to be blown away check out his version of ACDC's LONG WAY TO THE TOP from this same concert everyone on stage is involved as is most of the audience it truly is something to behold and will show you pomgahnistanies what we Aussies enjoy on a regular basis .

Can I suggest that you listen and react to his rendition of the Beatles hit, 'Help' which was performed at this same concert as an encore. After a two and a half hour concert, he has the audience eating out of his hand. It is amazing. It is rumoured that Paul McCartney and the others had wanted to sing that piece more slowly as John Farnham does, but the record company wanted it faster when it was released. Paul applauded John's version, saying that it was the best he had heard. Please consider listening to it, if only for your own enjoyment.

Well, it's not often that I get in early on a reaction, what with the five hour time difference, but I did on this one! And what a song! It must be the problems of getting foreign songs into the US market, but I had never heard this song or heard of John. He was great, the song was great! You can't beat a full on symphony orchestra for power when they really bring it. Having played in large concert bands and a (small) orchestra, I understand the dynamics between musicians and conductor, and how important that is. I could see it in this piece, the work was done in rehearsal. If it all works, the conductor gives the down beat and the machine takes off. The audience doesn't realize what went into it. I would have loved to see the rehearsals, they are always more interesting than the performance

There are actually a couple of clips of parts of the rehersal on line. It it was very cool. JF was /is so popular in Australia that just about every move he made on tour and the lead up was recorded and made into documentaries

There is an audio recording on You Tube of John Farnham singing 'Black Dog' which is his voice warm-up song .Sadly, there is not a film of that.

@Tom Hemmer Hi Tom and thank you again for another interesting comment and for giving us some more insight into your personal life. We had no idea you were in a band. I will have something you may be interested in coming to Patreon soon. Maybe we should get you on one of our live shows for an interview. Thanks for the company.

@@BritPopsReact Oh dear God, no! Not the face made for radio! I played tuba in my high school and college bands, with concerts after the football season was over. College marching bands at American college football games is something that really isn't a thing outside of the US, but here it is a big deal, and my school's band operates at the highest level. It is a big deal. My Mother, a percussionist, got me into a small, local, unpaid, volunteer orchestra, mainly to help move the tympani around. It was fun until work got in the way, and I haven't played in years. Don't look for me on stage with Wagakki Band. I was okay, but not that good
