One thing is always present, when John is performing or interacting with his fans; and that is, the smile on his face. He thoroughly enjoys what he does. Even when he is interviewed, that smile is always there.

[@BluntTedTalksMusic]

I like that its a real smile as well. So many people these days in the industry are no linger genuine. Took over by money rather than the love of doing. Money is evil

[@jayweb51]

John was 20 years old when he first released his cover of One in 1969, he was 38 years old when he performed the song in 1987. You could always hear the clarity in his voice, right from the start; but the maturity and quality of his voice came into full effect, later in his career.

[@BluntTedTalksMusic]

He was always destined to make it with his voice im glad he decided to take his own direction and be away from those that controlled him. Thats allowed him to find himself and flourish

[@kennykarlsson6691]

John farnham is definetly one of the best male singers of all time and master of every music genre. My favorite singer in modern time is Guy sebastian, allso from Astralia,.❤

[@BluntTedTalksMusic]

Yeah he is an amazing talent. Am constantly blown away by the power in his voice. I will check out guy sebastian thank you. I think hes been recommended before so should be on the list already. Thank you for watching and for your comment ❤️

[@jayneattherock1083]

One (is the loneliest number) was written and originally recorded by Harry Nilsson, (1968) Three Dog Night were the first to do a cover, (also released in 1968) John said in an interview years ago that he ‘ripped it off Three dog night’ … thank you, enjoyed your reaction,

[@carolynh8866]

John's version even charted higher in Australia than the 3 dog night version, which came out a little earlier than John's cover.

[@BluntTedTalksMusic]

Thanks for the info there and for watching. Im going to go and look out for the other versions as well. Thank you for the kind words

[@carolynh8866]

I love seeing the comparison between baby, popstar Johnny and seasoned rocker John. Young Johnny has to use falsetto to hit the highest notes and seasononed John just smashes them out full chest voice and at full throttle. Easy peasy. But even back then his voice was amazing and what we all fell in love with. ❤️

[@AnnieD.1982]

Nicely said Carolyn 😊❤ The way Farnsey belts it out with such ease is incredible I agree! He is amazing at any age 😍

[@BluntTedTalksMusic]

Its amazing that his voice has improved and got stronger as the years gone on. Most singers who go full throttle have to adapt many times during career but he just keeps on getting stronger. Thanks for the comment and for watching. Was very well put i agree with annie ❤️

[@necianicholas2878]

John was 18 in the first clip (born in 1949) & 38 in the second clip.

[@queenslanddiva]

If he was born in 49 and he sang the first one in 1949, he was either 19 or 20.

[@BluntTedTalksMusic]

Great to see the difference between them either way

[@necianicholas2878]

My mistake, didn't have my glasses on. 🤓

[@queenslanddiva]

@@necianicholas2878 gotta have those glasses! 😃

[@bernadettelanders7306]

Great review, and any Gerbals left lol 😂 Was thinking just watching John singing, gee how lucky have we been having him singing/performing for us for about 50 years.

[@BluntTedTalksMusic]

Theres not many can make a career last 5 decades but john did it brilliantly. Amazing performer. Haha i think we had the last 2 in the shop. They are cool tho lol

[@bernadettelanders7306]

@@BluntTedTalksMusic None left 😭 😂

[@BluntTedTalksMusic]

😂😂😂was another family after them as well but i managed to grab a worker first so won. Glad did they are brilliant lol. They are like little cats lol

[@annettelane]

Yes we really are blessed😊

[@kethlyfallon5095]

One of my favorites ❤❤❤

[@BluntTedTalksMusic]

One of mine also from over the years. Cant believe id heard all these times and had no clue john had covered it. Think iv defo heard johns version as well before now just without knowing it was him ❤️❤️❤️

[@beresfordthompson1370]

Even as a baby John was incredible. The first version shows John’s natural born talent, with his raw and untrained vocals being so great at this young age. The later versions of this were obviously a lot better, a lot more rock and vocal perfection. I love this song and John does it so well, the live versions in the 80’s and 90’s were so awesome and even at this stage John was playing with and perfecting his mic and mic stand tricks, spinning the corded mic around like a set of nun chucks and catching it just in time to continue performer, what an absolutely incredible performer. And I love these double reactions comparing younger John and then the goat John perfection.

[@BluntTedTalksMusic]

Yes he defo felt more relaxed and in control during the second perfeomance. He was free at this point and a million miles from his old life where he was abused and used. Thank you for your kind words on the reaction and comparison. It was lots of fun to do and see the difference. Thank you also for watching

[@beresfordthompson1370]

@ you’re very welcome, keep up the great work and reactions to John. His little river band days also produced some great music and he also did a fantastic version of bridge over troubled waters back in 79 I think it was.

[@BluntTedTalksMusic]

I did want to go and check out lrb but wasn’t sure peoples feelings about them given his bad experience with them but i guess it shows where he came from still so be worth doing. Bridge over troubled waters would ge good to see. His voice singing that would sound excellent

[@beresfordthompson1370]

@ he does a incredible job with bridge and as far as LRB go, even though John wasn’t happy there he still gave it his all and you could see the enjoyment on his face and hear it in his voice in his performances. Cool change, reminiscing, just say that you love me, blind eyes, just to name a few were great songs with John there.

[@BluntTedTalksMusic]

Yeah i think he would of just been happy at that time to of been heard by people and was probably formulating a plan from early to go and do his own thing. His olan defo worked as hes become a worldwide legend. I can tell hes loved all over by the range of countries my viewers are here in my stats. Its amazing to see hes never had a bad performance that i have seen so far. Every video has been excellent

[@MargaretGuppy]

I couldn't tell if you noticed John 'wrangle' the microphone in the second performance, well worth going back to review it! It's great that you love our John too!

[@BluntTedTalksMusic]

I did notice that part he is a legend haha. I think i looked at camera when he did it in amazement haha

[@MargaretGuppy]

@@BluntTedTalksMusic Glad you didn't miss it - (thought you might have been checking out the gerbils! lol)

[@BluntTedTalksMusic]

😂 they came out when i started talking. Next time il move them to another room while i record. They are very sociable so make noise for attention i think lol. Il be on lookout for more mic tricks. Someone mentioned in another comment he started doing more as he got older. A great performer. Id of knocked myself out with it or some poor sod in front row 😂

[@Jojomac-ix7oi]

Thank you Ted for reacting to Annie's request. I really enjoyed it. ❤

[@BluntTedTalksMusic]

No problem was lots of fun to watch. Love all the recommendations. Thank you for watching ❤️

[@heatherwickstead7980]

Nice job comparing the 2 - 20 years apart . Thanks Ted

[@BluntTedTalksMusic]

No problem. Thank you for watching and for your comment

[@eileencollins2536]

John.... gets better with age 💙💛🤍🧡🤎🖤💜💚🇦🇺

[@BluntTedTalksMusic]

Very much so. Where most peoples voice starts to become broken as they get older johns did the opposite and got stronger. A complete natural talent. Thank you very much for watching and for your comment ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@BluntTedTalksMusic]

Correction to the end of the video where i said first member. I spotted after uploading i have one nember the other day so thank you very much if you read this comment. The support and kindness is amazing. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@darrenlocke2195]

Great reaction and appreciation of John’s performances as always mate. From Oz Much love bud.

[@BluntTedTalksMusic]

Cheers mate thank you for watching and for your commenting. Is always a pleasure

[@darrenlocke2195]

@ he’s a bloody legend or what eh.

[@BluntTedTalksMusic]

Yeah hes one of the best to ever do it. Song by song i fall for his music deeper and deeper. Im so glad i was brought up to appreciate good music

[@AussieDebb]

Yes that baby face Johnny with that voice coming out - just amazing. ❤😂🎉

[@BluntTedTalksMusic]

Yeah he was amazing even back then. Just got better with age but always a huge talent ❤️❤️

[@leandabee]

John hadn't found his power rock voice in 1969 yet, but once he did, wow, we were all in for a massive treat 😃👌👏👏. I remember reading about when John was fired from Little River Band, apparently the other band members weren't happy with how John sang the songs in his usual rock tone, they wanted him to be more sedate, I mean, as if that was going to happen 🙄😅😅.

[@AnnieD.1982]

Well said! 😊 We certainly were in for a treat. Nobody beats Farnsey!! Those LRB boys really didn't deserve him! Trying to hold him back.... good luck! 😅❤❤

[@leandabee]

@AnnieD.1982 😅, yes, and who lasted decades longer, hmmm, I wonder who 🤔😉. They certainly didn't deserve him one bit, and fortunately, one cannot stifle that powerhouse 👌😃

[@AnnieD.1982]

​@@leandabeeNever were truer words spoken!! 👍😉😄 I could not agree more! Nobody can stop The Voice!!!!! 🤩

[@leandabee]

@AnnieD.1982 🤗👌🙋🏼‍♀️

[@BluntTedTalksMusic]

So glad john got away from them. Sounds like they were holding him back through jealousy as they knew he was the real talent. Did they do much after he was gone ? ❤️❤️

[@justlinsu]

Hi Ted. That first video he was about 17 He entered the world of music at 16 when he was named King of Pop in Australia and yes even wore a crown lol. His then manager became his abuser and at the time John didn't realise he was being drugged etc. This has come out in his release of his memoirs recently. So so angry about that pathetic man....he would drug him to sleep then put uppers in his drink before a performance. So sad. John thank God was a survivor and was able to take control of his life with the help of a best friend in Glen Wheatley who even morgaged his own home to help John get "You're The Voice" recorded etc. Oops sorry for long comments lol

[@BluntTedTalksMusic]

I think similar thing happened wirh the beatles when they played in germany in the early days very sad when greed takes over and allows people to abuse others for their own gains. Glad hohn managed to get away and do his own thing. Haha dont worry about long comment no need to apologise

[@justlinsu]

@@BluntTedTalksMusic Thanks lol. But it's nice to respond to 'genuine' reactors who show a real interest .

[@BluntTedTalksMusic]

Sadly after doing reactions i gained an eye for telling who the fake and real reactors are and i feel a lot are faking it. Either bot really a fan of what they claim or they are but are watching the vids and writing notes before recording their first time reaction which is actual second or third time of watching. Those people get found out eventually or get bored because they not enjoying what they doing and fizzle out.

[@AnnieD.1982]

Thanks for doing my request Ted!!! 😂😊❤❤ I think you recognised it!!! Baby faced Johnny in the 60's and superstar Farnsey in the 80's!! He has always been a superstar really. The potential in the early clip was so clear!! 😍🤩 He was 20 in the first clip and then 38 in the second clip. Always been a legend!! Thanks so much Ted. I really appreciate you doing this double feature for me 🙂❤❤❤

[@BluntTedTalksMusic]

No problem thank you for the idea for the videos i enjoy doing the comparisons. First time iv seen him that young and could tell was him but looked so different. Still had that presence tho even back then in his younger days. Could see in the first video he was always going to make it in the music industry. I saw a comment from someone that said freddie mercury said he was the greatest vocalist the world has ever seen which is another great compliment. All the legends praise him highly and look up to him. Thank you again for pointing me in the direction of these songs and thank you for watching ❤️❤️❤️

[@AussieDebb]

What a great idea Annie. What about Raindrops 1968 and then 1996 at Jack of Hearts and You're the Voice in 1987 and 2020? Love our John ❤ love Debb ❤

[@Jojomac-ix7oi]

Thanks Annie for requesting this. I just love John singing this. He blew himself out of the water... in his older one he blew 3 dog night and Harry Nihlson out of the water, and in the later one he topped himself. But he even did it again in his 1989 version with the MSO....lol. ❤❤

[@AnnieD.1982]

​@@BluntTedTalksMusicNo worries Ted. Worked out well I think. Great job!! 🙂👍❤️ You really can see how good he is even back in those really early days. The 1987 version shows how much he has grown, and the confidence and power is unreal 😍 Like I said 'Superstar'. I have heard that comment about Freddy before too. Both completely in a league of their own!! A huge compliment! Thanks again Ted. Can't wait for the other one that is not One, later in the week 😁 Take care!! ❤️❤️

[@AnnieD.1982]

​@@AussieDebbHey Debb 👋🥰 Thank you! I may have already sent another older vs newer suggestion to Ted... I will most likely send quite a few if he let's me!! 😉 Great options Debb!! I know he is already gunna do the 2020 You're The Voice version but Raindrops would be good too - aww Baby-faced Johnny!! 😄🤗💗💗

[@joanmonaghan8428]

Great reaction. John's voice is superb, always has been. Notice that the falsetto notes in the first song were belted out in the second version.

[@BluntTedTalksMusic]

Thank you for the kind comment and thank you for watching. Yeah second time around he was hitting those notes with ease. Voice fully developed. Could see back then in first video he was destined for greatness

[@karenstrong8887]

John didn’t have a bad age. No, John was forced to dress how he did when he was young and he wasn’t allowed to sing his music his way.

[@BluntTedTalksMusic]

Yes much happier when allowed to do his own thing

[@TheBrownlj]

True but it was also the fashion then

[@russellgreet2550]

subbed, farnham absolutely hated lip syncing, so most old TV footage he either looks awkward or he is singing live

[@BluntTedTalksMusic]

Thank you very much for subbing and for your comment. John is one of very few people iv ever seen that can nail it live very single time. Iv been blown away after being shown his music

[@BluntTedTalksMusic]

Apologies on my distraction from the new gerbils 🐹🐹

[@AnnieD.1982]

😅😅❤❤

[@BluntTedTalks]

@@AnnieD.1982they gits haha ❤❤

[@TheBrownlj]

😊Cant compare a video to a live performance and with Farnsy there is no comparison. Also there is a huge age difference.

[@BluntTedTalksMusic]

Many other things to compare and the age difference was kind of the point. Would be pointless comparing them a year apart. The video wasnt about comparing live performance it was just about how much john had changed stylistically over the years with the song and you can also see how his voice has developed. Sorry you didnt enjoy the video but many others did so i stand by the video. Thank you anyway for watching and for the comment ❤️❤️

[@TheBrownlj]

@@BluntTedTalksMusic I didn't say I didn't enjoy your video. I'm saying that John is always best to review when he is singing live.

[@BluntTedTalksMusic]

Apologies for the confusion i thought you meant i shouldn’t compare those type of videos but apologies i got it wrong. Your correct tho, live is where he is best as can see his talent is real. So many others mime or use fx but john dont need that he is gifted
