Anytime anywhere ❤❤

[@janwatson7981]

Pure John,gotta love him .

[@debwhite7629]

A genuinely nice guy being interviewed by another nice guy (Ray Martin).

[@annettelane]

Oh my goodness I forgot about that ..was a great show and great dinging

[@devilsadvocate2548]

... and in true John Farnham style he has to take time to thank/acknowledge the musicians he plays with. Jeff was a bit of a legend too!

[@TwoWrights]

John always referred to his mother in law as The Dragon. I saw him 6 times over the years and he always had a new story about her at every concert he did. Any fan of his knew all about her. Even after she died, he would still have a funny dig at her expense.

[@dominiquemmaurice]

His mother in law jokes are well known 😂😂😂

[@matthewcullen1298]

The consummate entertainer. A true Aussie gentleman. Good onya John. True blue Aussie legend.😀😀

[@7Sandie]

You can see why Australia LOVES this man!!!!

[@supaphonsingsuwan4799]

May I have my little say . Yes I am so in love with him for a very long times and he is the best and very best the singer in the whole world. Please trust me for this. I don’t understand why all you people just found out about John Farnham now? He is the most amazing person in this world. Love you more than anything in this life John Farnham ❤

[@jayweb51]

This shows how natural singing comes to John. Get him in the right situation, and he easily show his comedic side. An all over genuine entertainer. This is why he is so loved by those who come in contact with him, if only fleeting.

[@AussieDebb]

❤❤🎉🎉😂😂

[@albertlanger2339]

I was outside the church when John and Gillian married in Glenroy in 1973. Gillian and their family are helping John after his left jaw was recently removed. "The Voice" may not be the same, but I know he has the strength to continue his humour. A MALE who became a MAN

[@reactiontalk]

How cool is that! What a great memory to hold and cherish.

[@albertlanger2339]

@@reactiontalk John is a special person. In fame and could charge some dollars, did not. e.g. Carols by Candelight and "Hey Hey It's Saturday" John toured, but over the decades wanted more to be with his family. A MAN with a smart mind.

[@dominiquemmaurice]

I’m so happy I came across your channel. I’ve loved FARNSY my whole life & I feel like I’m watching him with friends. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@reactiontalk]

Love that!

[@JoSedunary]

What you see with John is what you get - no airs and graces for him. He is one of the most down to Earth and loyal humans on this planet. There's heaps of interviews to react to if you want to - he is the same in all of them...loves to talk, thinks he's funny haha...just approachable and kind.... we love him.....People can't believe that he was such a heavy smoker and still sang like that or that he suffered from stage fright (mainly I think because he is a perfectionist - once he was on stage he was fine... ) The brick comment - he said whilst he was quitting smoking, he could have eaten a brick - dry....meaning he would have done anything to get past the cravings...Another great reaction guys - thank you again !!

[@lindylufromoz5111]

You are SO right Jo. He is as down to earth as a happy romp in the mud. Beautiful man.

[@JoSedunary]

@@lindylufromoz5111 For sure Lindylu... Those who have been able to catch him live, even if it was only the once are very very lucky....Like most Aussies I've seen him countless times over the years - nothing like it in my opinion.

[@stumpypetros2685]

"They use a lot of different triangles." "I lost and we didnt even do a coin toss." Classic!

[@wren1960]

And that's why we love John he is so giving of his time. He is not the Hollywood type at all, he's real not fake.👍🎵💯

[@jacklynmcivor845]

Get some singers to do this live now. John would still wipe the floor with them today.

[@Bob-rv3kj]

Once again proving he is without doubt one of a kind!

[@jenniferjacobs228]

Is it any wonder we adore him? he was and still is, such a humble, beautiful man. Just a plumber at heart, with a mighty talent. He has always talked about not remembering the lyrics....but I don't think anyone would care if made them up as he went along. That voice..wow... The Voice. love you, John

[@shoresaresandy]

The Dragon is Johns mother-in-law. He jokes about her all he time and she loves it! Imagine being able to sing like that without a warmup!

[@dondelbiondo1258]

He's just so good ....

[@mrmockatoo6786]

And that's why we love him!

[@toddyrocket296]

Australia is so lucky to have him entertain us for decades.

[@MrNeilandrew]

Aussie royalty there. A tradie with one of the best voices of all time! Fantastic story!

[@alimac1469]

The duet with Olivia is beautiful. RIP Olivia ❤

[@BeBeXGen]

My God - he is gorgeous & so genuine. Loved your reactions - and your celebration of John! Thank you.

[@magpiegirl3783]

Magic. What a talent. Such a nice guy.

[@ladymanners618]

Phyllis is part of a long running joke.

[@baird55aus]

Geoff Harvey who played the piano was a great musician too.

[@RolandDeschain1]

And he loved a beer.

[@kaafromoz]

Glen Wheatley that you saw briefly was John's manager and a musician in his own right with "The Masters Apprentices" he took John to the stars mate, sadly we lost Glen very recently and it was a very sad day for all of Australia as he was loved just as much as John is. John is the very essence of Gentleman, down to earth what you see is what you get. Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@pbond8827]

What a legend John is 👏🏻🍻🇦🇺 Thanks

[@carolynh8866]

Who needs a warm up when your name is John Farnham. We been blessed to get almost weekly doses of John Farnham at various stages over the years, during one interview or another. Plus many times on Hey Hey, Countdown, his own variety show with Debra Byrne, guest appearances in many tv shows, his own tv show Bobble Dazzler, plus concerts, musical theatre and so on. So he has just been there our whole lives which is why we love him so much. For all his fame he is just a regular one of the guys. Ever since covid this is what we've had to resort to. Watching reruns of all these things on line Ps that's his wife at 7:42

[@denisbryce8746]

He originally dedicated that song to his wife, Jill. He talks about the Dragon lady, Phyliss, (his mother-in-law), but they have a brilliant relationship & get on like a house on fire. Besides, who couldn't love John Farnham, right.? Hahahaha.

[@TCM215]

About time someone did this one:) I've been suggesting this for ages to heaps of reactors. It's bad quality for sure but this is his best all round performance ever:)

[@TCM215]

Seriously for John this is the best of the best:)

[@BobarissGish]

And that is why we love him so much here in Australia.

[@MargaretGuppy]

In John's comment: "I could eat a brick, dry!" he meant that instead of smoking he found food a great comfort and ate too much!

[@mikehenry5817]

❤️‍🔥😁👍 such an awesome genuine guy😉👍

[@Dr_KAP]

I loved this! Thank you so much!! Glenn Wheatley, who you see briefly toward the end of the video, was John’s manager and best friend his whole life. They were very close. He sadly passed away this year. John hasn’t sung publicly since Glenn’s passing.

[@karenstrong8887]

This made me laugh and cry. I didn’t know John sang this song until our beautiful adopted daughter won a singing contest singing it. She told us who sang it before she started and the judges didn’t know it either. One wrote on her paperwork that she never liked John until that night. Now she was going home to listen to more of his work without an opinion. Whenever John was on the Ray Martin show it was fun. One of the best parts of this one was seeing Glenn Wheatley at the end, he is missed and I hate Covid. My husband always called my Mother the dragon lady. He was the only person living that said it to her in person. He saw her coming one day, opened the door and yelled, the Dragon Lady is here. I thought he is so dead, I will miss him. The look on her face went from I will kill you to a smile and she started laughing. No one else was ever game to say it. If you live in Australia you cannot afford to smoke. The Government tax now makes them around $45.00 a pack. It is becoming rare to see a smoker here now. Thank you for this one. I think you two are part Australian. You get our bent sense of humour.

[@reactiontalk]

Thank you for your comment. How wonderful to find John in such a way and even to share with a judge! Did Covid contribute to Glenn's death? I couldn't believe it when you mentioned the price of a pack of cigarettes. So only the Wealthy and Elite get to smoke in that country? I checked and the $20 bag of tobacco we buy here in America costs $460 😱 in Australia. I bet they still allow them to drink alcohol and eat lots of sugar without higher tax regulation even though they are just as detrimental to health. I can't wait for the day when the people decide to regulate the Governments. They can pay the people billions of dollars for all the atrocities they have committed against us, including taxation aka THEFT.

[@karenstrong8887]

@@reactiontalk, yes, we didn’t know Glenn got Covid just before Christmas. He passed away in March from complications from Covid. The week before they told his wife and John he had turned the corner and was getting better. We know both families here, both wives and it is like we lost a family member. John and Glenn were mates, where one was so was the other. I don’t think John has been seen since he left the hospital. He released a press notice saying he would care for Gaynor and the family. You know it is mostly the one’s that cannot afford it that smoke. They are probably that one’s that need to the most. I live in the biggest post code in Australia. So the Government used our area to trial a card for those that need support. It will not let you buy tobacco or alcohol but they find a way around that. It is kind of like we don’t trust you so use this. Australia is pretty health conscious and I only eat at places that have a healthy choice menu. I am a Diabetic so I have to know what is in my food. Someone put my diabetic injection on TV because it makes most people lose weight without dieting. Now I cannot get my medication because all of the over weight wealthy people are getting in first. It doesn’t help me lose weight, it protects my heart. Lucky I can control my diabetes’s with my diet. Again it is the poorer people that end up with sugary foods because they are cheap and filling. We do have a lot of food laws so everything must be listed in every product and they have a star rating saying how healthy something is or isn’t. Alcohol is also being taxed out of everyone’s life. Last Christmas 83% more people chose non alcoholic wines and beer. We are really good at making them, mine have no alcohol and no sugar but they taste the same my 6 pack of beer only costs $7.20 and that lasts 6 months because I have to count the carbs that turn into sugar. I can’t afford a 6 pack with alcohol even if I was allowed to drink it. We have some hefty taxes on fuel too, we are about to go on a trip to see our children. Our States were locked for over 2 years. To put the fuel In our truck to see them all will cost well over $2,000.00. This week we replaced the Government that did most of this and only took care of the rich. There is one good point about it being law to vote if you are 18 or over because we all have a choice. I gave one of my votes to the Make Cannibus Legal Party. They sounded fun and tonight they told us they think they won my area. I didn’t know we had that party until I went to vote. My main votes went to the Government that is now running Australia. He is the first Prime Minister who knows what it is like to grow up with a single mother in a Government house. We need someone who makes some sense and cares about ordinary people. We can and do hold our Government accountable.

[@CQuinnLady]

Johns MIL has copped lots of jokes from John. Its been a long running comedy we love.

[@georgeibrahim7945]

Seen this plenty of times thanks heaps for the great reaction. No warm up and still kills it and he’s so funny to top it off

[@jemxs]

Hadn't seen this, the Midday Show was great back in the day!

[@keirrac2]

He also calls his drummer, Angus, the “mongrel”, which in Australia is a very mixed breed dog. He has names for a lot of people and they don’t mind at all. He didn’t say he had given up vodka, which he was partial to. Notice, no auto tune. Didn’t need it.

[@wendyryder2708]

John NEVER needed auto-tune! Wish it had never been invented!

[@jennyplowman1471]

Great reaction to this one, guys. We love John so much and it seems you do too. Love to you both

[@taniaPBear]

John and his mother-in-law, were really close, and he used make jokes about her all the time. It was just a bit of fun between them. She loved him to bits, as you would right?

[@cristiona22]

Has to be one of my fave interviews with John. All the ones he did with Ray Martin are fantastic though.

[@jennygavrilovic7415]

❤️ it! Came home to find this! ❤️❤️❤️there’s more of that to come! It’s why we ❤️❤️❤️ him.

[@grumpybumme3289]

Jo I so agree. He is not only an amazing singer but such a sexy one without even trying!. I've lost count of how many times I've seen John live..before his resurgence ..before LRB..after with his sons' band and the big stadiums always in the front. Funny story when I went to book John after I moved to QLD I saw a poster for Deep Purple and I thought I'd book a ticket for a laugh. Loved them but they were oldies. Well let me tell you that the guitarist that was with them at the time knocked me on my head. I had been married to a musician and I knew a good guitarist. This guy Steve Morse made me turn over Deep Purple

[@JoSedunary]

Purple always had an awesome group of musos... Steve Morse is epic... (he's 67 now too ) My brothers band did the support back in the late 70s when they were in Perth with Tommy Bolin and also for Rainbow after Richie Blackmore left Purple... so many great players back then... we were very lucky !

Thanks to your very special subscriber who requested this!!! I had never seen it before. Loved it!!! Once Angie found that special triangle shaped button that is 🤣(sorry Angie, couldn't resist - some of us Australians are sooo rude 😲. Congrats on your promotion to pilot by the way). Thanks for reacting to this. JF - what an entertainer! No warm up? No notice? No problem! Throws in jokes in between hitting notes that makes Rollen shake his head. And when finished, even in this casual format still goes over and recognises his accompaniment.

[@danschiavello]

This was a great one guys. Really loved it. Thanks for doing it!!

[@bernadettelanders7306]

Ya just gotta love him lol. I’ve watched all his vids and he’s always cracking jokes just like in his shows. What you see, is who he really is. Loved him getting his bum pinched in an interview by the audience lol. The dragon loves his jokes too. He wouldn’t/couldn’t seriously hurt her.

We should change that to 'John often forgets the words' hahaha... bless him....

[@RolandDeschain1]

This was something John did often. He would show up for an interview and just be urged to sing something. You never knew if it was all set up beforehand but the audiences always loved it.
