John Farnham And Human Nature | Everytime You Cry | Reaction

[@teresakym2672]

Human Nature were actually 'discovered' here in Australia (after they had a career here for 20 years!) by the great Smokey Robinson, who was totally amazed (with good reason!) and suggested Las Vegas and the Motown sound they were already performing here. They play there for most of the year and come back to Australia around each Christmas to see family and friends and do a tour of the country. Phil Burton (second from the right) left the group in 2022 - he is now back in Australia performing solo, but I did notice he does tour with the others when they are back here. They have been in the industry now for more than 30 years. Check out their acapella version of 'People Get Ready' They are awesome. 😊

[@HelenBeeee]

Part of what is so wonderful about John Farnham is his selflessness he loves to share the experience he steps back and lets the other performers step up to have their turn. Such a caring individual and Australian music is richer for it.

[@johnmiceter]

Yeah some singers these days always try and outperform eachother, but John Farnham doesn't try and do that and will sit back when performing with others and help them as much as he can without always trying to be the main focus.

[@ellefitzpatrick6339]

Agree however Human Nature were already well known and successful before this song was released.

[@PixieMegan]

Could not agree more! He is such a gracious performer and human being! He gives credit where credit is due, makes sure his back up singers and band members are known and appreciated, is happy to share the spotlight and wouldn't dream of our singing or overpowering anyone else that is on stage with him. He has not one ounce or arrogance or ego about him at all ❤

[@ellefitzpatrick6339]

Time to go down the rabbit hole that is Human Nature. Very talented Aussie singers who have been in residency in Vegas for many years. Have a listen to: He don’t love you, Wishes, Don’t Cry, Tellin’ everybody. There’s many more but these ones started it for them.

[@helenstecenko9345]

OMG John Farnham still grabs me after all these years. Followed him since l was 14 years old I'm 68 now, just love him. Thankyou for playing this song, it takes me back.

[@Lynda25252]

You are hving such a bromance with John Farnham, I love it. What I love about you is that you can appreciate all genres of music even though not all of them are down your alley.

[@RolandDeschain1]

This is a song you'll have in your head all day. Human Nature finished their 11-year Vegas residency and did a local tour in Australia this year.

Thank God you guys are giving Human Nature some of the credit as they are amazing in their own right

[@CellarDoorAU]

@ThatSingerReactions This was performed 4 October, 1997 on that 'Hey, Hey It's Saturday' program, which has a whole load of context in itself, good and sadly bad, when it was revived. Red Symons was one of the 'characters' on that show,. Simons was the lead guitarist in the 1970's band, 'Skyhooks' where Graeme 'Shirley' Strachan was the lead singer, with hits like "I'm Living in the 70's" etc but he was like the "Pre-Simon Cowell, Simon Cowell" figure on their Red Faces segment. There are all sorts of connections and rabbit holes, with these videos and artists, performers and programs you're watching from Australia. :)

John looks like a proud Dad singing with his boys. Love it.

The group is Human Nature, a well known Aussie group. They’ve been singing in Las Vegas for the past few years.

[@xenamerry]

This was a Hey Hey It's Saturday episode in 1997, when John Farnham was 48. You can see that Lisa and Lindsay are still with him in the background on backing vocals.

[@anndarley9229]

You know I think only very special people are given such a beautiful gift, and John has been blessed with a great gift, and at 72 it has not been taken away from him.

[@megancooper859]

Best thing about John, all genera, all age groups. LEGEND💜💜

[@feliciab2]

OMG, you've discovered Human Nature! They're from my hometown so I feel a sort of local pride in them. You should look up more of their work. They're all in their mid/late 40s now, but they've been singing together since they were in high school together and their harmonies are AMAZING!

[@melanieclark4271]

Most underestimated talent in Australia and the world. Best vocalist ever. Without a doubt.

[@xenamerry]

If you want to know what John Farnham's personality is like, try to find some 'Hey Hey It's Saturday clips where John is the guest'. His ad libs with Darryl are so funny. A real Aussie larikin.

[@garyjohnstone6422]

Simply GREAT. What a combination. Best solo vocal with world beater harmonics. Your best work John.

[@leannemayor5755]

Oh lord human nature have been set in Las Vegas for yrs in residence gosh to 25 yrs plus and they still do those Hicksville dance moves and if you notice John stays low he lets them shine … he is beautiful to Aussie mussos

[@patsmith2151]

He has always wanted to help anyone involved with music! Just by singing with them he is giving them a leg up! He is incredible always has been and always will be!

[@sarahholdcroft9490]

Human Nature are an Aussie group who had so many hits. They're another great Australian success.. you should look up some of their songs :)

[@katherineschmidt2075]

Human Nature have been around for like 27years now. One of our most successful bands ever. Consist of 2 brothers and 2 friends, in order bleach blonde is a friend(sorry forgot name), no2 is Andrew Tierney, no3 the other friend(sorry), no4 Michael Tierney who sang the most. This is actually their song. They have many hits and usually do Xmas albums aswell. Another band to check out similar to them is Savage Garden. Hugely successful duo.

[@cathybedwell1877]

Human Nature have been around since at least the 90s. They were taken under Smokey Robinson’s wing to do soul-type cover shows, and are still doing shows in Las Vegas last I heard.

[@Tiggie2000]

Human Nature met in High School at St Gregory's College near Campbelltown in Sydney's south west. My high school and theirs always went to the formal together. (St Pats college) Andrew and Mike (closest to John) are brothers and were joined by Toby (far left) and Phil in high school. They formed 4 Trax. Later became Human Nature. Mike has always been a massive fan of Johns, and like so many of us, was teased mercilessly because of it. They're now based in Las Vegas where they perform around 250 odd shows a year singing motown.

[@rebeccaaustin3247]

Human Nature were inducted into the ARIA hall of fame a couple of years ago and did a melody of some of their hits, they are fantastic showmen

[@Uptownerd]

I stumbled upon your channel today and I just love seeing your admiration for Johnny Farnham. Expect to be inundated by Aussies following his cancer journey, it's hitting us in the feels.

[@mumboshy6428]

I love watching you enjoy John sing. Your emotions are what I have felt since 1967, when I heard his first song. He is “The Voice” and a very special human.

[@narellesmith7932]

My daughter waa advised to study John’s microphone technique for singing : so we had to see him live. .. and we kept going to see him live.

[@tonyb4115]

Once you see him live you never forget, he just becomes part of your life. Even today he is magical.

[@robby1816]

Hope she didn't learn the tossing the microphone stand up in the air or across the stage :)

Yes Aussie boy band before boy bands were a thing. One of the longest residencys at Las Vegas also.

[@georgeibrahim7945]

Love the harmonies of human nature think a few are brothers are others high school mates, they had some great music and songs out in the 90s and 00s. Combined with Farnsey couldn’t get much better

[@cristiona22]

Two are brothers and yes they have been friends since high school. Andrew and Mike Teirney , Phil Burton and Toby Allen.

[@kirsteencampbell6489]

💕💕 I went to school with the Human Nature boys. They started singing together in their teens in the mid 1980s. They were first called the Four Trax. By the time this came out they had been together a while. Yep - they did a long stint in Vegas - but sadly Phil recently left the band Not only are they incredibly talented, but I fondly remember them as very nice young men. 💕💕. They are worth checking out.

[@gaildvaz5221]

@singerreactions human nature was promoted by Smokey they did shows in vegas ❤

[@geerterri]

All 4 members of Human Nature went to the same boarding school in AU. They are Toby Allen, Phil Burton and brothers, Andrew and Mike Tierney. They opened for both Michael Jackson and Celine Dion. Mike, who is singing lead for HN in this, is the youngest. He was only 13 when he was asked to join their singing group. Mike was in his last year of school when they were signed to a recording contract. In the vid, Toby, Andrew, Phil then Mike are the way that they are lined up. You should check out some of their songs, including the live concerts that they did. Both before and during their Las Vegas residence. They have the unique ability to reinvent themselves when needed. Not something that most "boy bands" seem to have the ability to do successfully. They are definitely worth checking out.

[@winsomeblandford1076]

This group and John sing acappela, lovely tones.

[@genenereuben4939]

Saw Human Nature in concert and they were awesome. We won tickets to the concert and got to meet them afterwards. Very lovely young men and were total sweethearts when my daughter burst into tears from all the excitement. Was so sweet.

Watching the joy in your reaction to John Farnham - who I’ve loved ALL my life, makes ME cry 🥰 he can still do it at 70. He’s amazing live 💖 I’ve seen him many many times. I’m so lucky 😊

[@MsZumbah]

One of my favs back in the day when it came out. I always think, that if you are going to sing with John, you BETTER be able to sing! Especially live! Waiting to see if you travel with John as far as Jesus Christ Super Star. I know how much you admire John (Aussies know why :) ) but his performance in that is mind blowing! Always puts the biggest smile on my face when I see you react to Aussie Artists. Lovin it!

Human Nature is an Aussie vocal group. This clip would be about 20 years old. The group has been around for at least 25 years I think. Last I heard they had a residency in Vegas. Not sure what happened to that, with COVID etc. I love the way John holds back a bit in this performance so he doesn't overpower the group.

He will never sing for us again! lucky to be alive at all. Had aprt of his tongue and jaw removed.

[@johnfarnhamexperience]

Gday Nick... mate this version with Human Nature is the most relaxed John has ever sung this song... once he started including this song with just his band (not with the lads above) in his concerts he really starts hitting you with some great ear candy that I know you like about John... so if you get the chance amongst your busy schedule check out John singing this song with just his band, I know you'll love it... I've been subscribed to you since you started doing John Farnham reactions, as you can tell you're genuine when it comes to reacting to John and his voice and his music... and that's the thing about John, especially live, once you hear his voice it leaves a permanant imprint on you... thankyou for taking to him and also some of our other oustanding talent we have here in Australia... keep the great work up...

[@helnbak9372]

Human Nature formed their group while they were still in high school. They are all friends from school, Toby, Andrew, Phil and Michael (Andrew’s younger brother, Michael has the long hair in this clip). They are very well known here. They recently lived in Las Vegas and did an 11 year stint there. Returned to Australia and did a tour here before returning to Vegas without Phil. This clip with John Farnham was a long time ago in the 90s probably. They are wonderful.

They try hard, but they can never equal John's voice. After all, he is THE VOICE!

[@JoelWende]

This was just a great collaboration for both parties! It took Human Nature to a new level because of John’s fame which enabled them to break out of the boyband mode and do more soul and doo-wop stuff. It also helped John though. It reintroduced him to a younger generation of fans who weren’t around 10 or 20 years earlier. It’s a good fun song…can’t argue with that!

[@dawnthomson9269]

Yep that song will be in your head for days. Love watching your face when John starts singing, the biggest smile erupts on your face. I have noticed that no matter who sings with John they always seem to have fun with him. Human Nature have been around for years & have been performing in Vegas for years. Smokey Robinson heard them & signed them up & the rest is history, they do some great MoTown. They went around & met some of the greats to find out how to sing their songs correctly & also how to move.

This was really early in Human Natures career and was a dream come true for them to share the stage with the Godfather. Went on to 13 Studio Albums and an 11 year residency at the Venetian in Vegas with their Mo Town show.

6 months before Every Time You Cry came out, my mother (she's loved Johnny Farnham for 53 years!) said how much he should collaborate with Human Nature... 6 months later, this song pops up. 😍 You deserve to see Johnny live.... he's a special man and artist. 🧡 He really should do a stand up company gig at least once... he's really damn hilarious! Ever since Guy Sebastian won Australian Idol 18 years ago, we've been dying for him and Johnny to do something together. Hopefully one day soon. They are both incredibly gifted and spectacular. 🧡

[@aries898]

Ok without reading too much of other comments- here’s a rundown Human nature consists of 2 brothers, Andrew and Michael, and their friends, Phil and Toby. They started up singing at school in the late 1980’s/early 1990’s….. my uncle was a prominent photographer that worked for the nsw department of education photographing anything from press conferences to big events like the schools spectacular, which is a yearly arena event showcasing nsw schools talent. These boys were regularly in it till they left school and my uncle had the pleasure of knowing them and the brothers’ mum, who is a school teacher and creative director for the schools spectacular, and very respected in her field After school they got picked up by a record company and had many many best selling albums, number one hits and successful tours in Australia. At this point of this song it was about 3 or so years into their career. Fast forward a few years they started doing Motown style albums which were also hugely popular and then they got noticed by Smokey Robinson, who helped them record more Motown stuff then convinced them to move to America, which they did and have been hugely successful in Vegas at the imperial palace and then at the Venetian hotel…. When covid started they came back to australia and have be even living here for a while however I believe 3 of them are or have returned to Vegas to continue residency at the Venetian (Phil decided it was time he moved back to Australia permanently with his now family- he will tour w it h human nature only when they come to Australia)… they all have raised their families in the USA but still call australia home I am a massive fan of their and have seen them tons of times. Never get bored of it. Also have had the pleasure of being onstage with them a few times when I was a choir girl and they sing at events like the Olympics opening ceremony and other big events And got everything I have of their mercy signed as they always have signings after concerts haha Toby (the bleached blonde guy) is singing the bass line - their style when doing acapella can be likened to the pentatonix

[@jessicab2202]

Great summary!

[@stuartwhite7998]

Australia had a good amount of boy bands in the 90s. Human Nature were the only ones who stuck around. Perhaps because their sound and look was quite old fashioned. The were much more like the soul and R&B groups of the 60s and 70s than N'Synch or the Backstreet Boys. So mothers and grannies liked them too. Much like Farnham himself, they were nice clean-cut boys who sang like angels.
