John Farnham - Gethsemane (This Blew Me Away) Live | Reaction

[@roslynjonsson2383]

Our John has a talent so rare it won't be seen again in my lifetime. As us fans say, John could sing the phone book and it would be a No1 hit.

[@BladeRunnermedia]

I believe that!!! 😀

[@AussieDebb]

OUR MAGNIFICENT JOHN - WOW WOW WOW 😂❤🎉😂❤🎉

[@AussieDebb]

Chameleon is the right description. Musical 🎥 Theatre. You should listen to the whole production. Johns performance is just indescribable ❤🎉😂🎉 We love John so much and cant get enough of him.

Try John and Olivier Newton John "PLEASE DONT ASK ME from * The Main Event "

John farnham the goat

[@roslynjonsson2383]

I've seen John live 17 times and would be at No 18 if that miracle ever happened. At 73 he still held his notes and still could sing live before the jaw cancer last year. John is a true master vocalist....Richard Marx a good friend of John's has a 4 part series on KZbin called "John Farnham can sing any genre" and worth a watch - react to 2 parts at a time for flow effect.

I saw JF do this live in Melbourne, the emotion he sings with, he makes you feel it with him. His live shows are a blast, & where he shines brightest, he lives to give. No staging, no half naked dancers, no gimmicks, just an incredible talent, his band, & his sense of humour, that would give you the greatest 2.5hrs of your life, everytime, guarenteed. And no matter how many shows he did in a row, in one city, city after city, his energy was the exact same level from the first night to the last. Never seen oneone like him before, & never will again, he truly is one of a kind ❤

[@elizabethscott7660]

I agree. I've never, in 50 years been able to find the right words to exactly describe the experience of listening to him. There have been and are, many great singers but none have the versatility and perfection of John. Everything you hear and see is natural talent. He's never had singing or acting training, yet from the first note to the last he holds thousands of people captive. He can sing any genre perfectly just by choosing to. He is also a wonderful human being. Kind, generous, humble and deeply grateful for his fans.

[@bonoroo5313]

Cheers mate for playing that, still gives me chills. Gethsemane with a soft G.

[@ernaanspach473]

First time hearing this from John. I know the song from the rock opera, Jesus Christ Superstar. I really enjoyed it. Thankyou for your reaction. 🎼❤️🎼

[@barnowl5774]

PS. I gave you the wrong name of the song with Lisa Edwards. It is 'Lifted Up By Angels'. As you are experiencing, John Farnham can sing in many genres. Singing is his passion and what he came here to do. American? Adam Stolfo is another reactor that has done a number of excellent videos about John, including a four part series named, 'John Farnham Can Sing Anything'. Also, another one on John's musical journey.

[@royperkins9176]

National treasure. Understand why they adore him.

[@BladeRunnermedia]

Yes I see it too

[@jonss1948]

Just make a note to self: Where possible, review John's live performances. His 'official' vidoes are very good but John is an excellent showman and his voice seems to transcend his official videos. You have taken the first steps on a long journey. I recommend, 'When the War is Over' (the last time) 'Help', John's interpretation of the Beatles song. I could go on as there are many of his performances on YT. Keep in mind that you are hearing a 3.2 octave range whenever he sings, so enjoy.

[@colincolenso]

Appreciate your reaction man. It's hard to find words to describe the greatness of John's performance in Gethsemane portraying Jesus contemplating his sacrificial death.

[@joanvantrier4308]

Always watch John live. Especially with an orchestra.

[@Dr_KAP]

One of his finest performances and John is in the elite few people in the world who have played this part and hit that A5 sustained note. Please add When the War is Over to the list- another one of his standout vocal performances! Thanks for your reactions to Farnsey! PS this was a Broadway show- Jesus Christ Superstar

[@carolynh8866]

No words can really explain the brilliance of his voice. That is why he is affectionately know as THE VOICE. . Also known as Farnsey, Whispering Jack and Johnny when he was younger. But don't call him that now lol. He is like a chamelian and he pretty much adapts to any genre with ease. Also one of the reasons he didn't do well in the US. They couldn't lock him down to a single genre and he didn't fit into any of their standard boxes. 🤣 but nice to see he is finally getting the recognition over there that he deserves. It is a movement. Aussies have been part of the Farnsey Army for decades and will support his music, his family and him personally through thick and thin . In the event that he completely recovered from cancer and was able to do one more concert there would not be a venue big enough....so he'd have to do multiple concerts and that's just the way it's always been. Well apart for a few years in the late 70's when he dropped out of favour for a few years. Thanks again and keep enjoying the journey...we will be on journey with you all the way

[@BladeRunnermedia]

Great input! Thanks for joining my on the journey Carolyn 🥰

[@Dr_KAP]

Geez your quick these days Carolyn 😆

[@alyn927]

🇦🇺 this one gives me chills thankyou

[@carolynh8866]

@@Dr_KAP I'm on holidays for a while. No commitments...plus the last 5 days I have not been able to leave the house as have been surrounded in 4 directions by bushfires. Fortunately today has finally seen them come under control. It's has been very scary.

[@annemcbeath120]

Ah haa! I was going to say…. Wait till you see Gethsemane!😂 Amazing, isn’t he?

[@BladeRunnermedia]

Totally!

[@crackers562]

John does it ALL !!

[@BladeRunnermedia]

I see lol :)

[@paul-Ess]

You'll like him even more once you see his joking aroung and antics during and between songs.Please look at "In days to come" live,a song with great lyrics pertaining to Americans.

[@BladeRunnermedia]

I'll do just that! thanks 😃

[@doc6186]

Correct, it was not a play nor a concert. Jesus Christ Superstar is a rock Opera written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. In this Australian production Farnham played JC. One word you missed trying to describe him is versatile. He can sing any genre and it is always great. From the performances you have seen so far, a side of him you are yet to see is his on-stage personality. He loves to chat to the audience, make bad jokes, and always gives his fellow musicians due credit and acknowledgement. He is just a humble, levelheaded guy who is unbelievably talented. Thanks for another Farnsey reaction!

[@BrettTwinSavage]

My favorite (and imho the most powerful) song from Rice & Webber's iconic "Jesus Christ Superstar". His version is amazing. Your reaction was great!

[@rodneycampbell2964]

Thank you for another great reaction Aussies just sum John up in one word The Voice, I have heard many reactor’s say he sounds like this singer or that singer, Johns voice is unique, I can’t wait till you react to concert’s where he has fun with the Audience, A Comic conversation is great but there’s so many more

[@phunkmonkeycookiegarage7773]

One of his best!

[@BladeRunnermedia]

Thanks :)

[@georgeibrahim7945]

Love this performance, arguably one of John Farnham’s greatest acts and vocal performances. Thanks for the reaction but the volume is turned down very hard to hear John sing

[@BladeRunnermedia]

The volume is fine on my end sorry 🥲

[@Bellas1717]

Thanks, I really enjoyed that again. For John, every song comes from his heart, which made it easy for him to act in this musical - exactly as you said, a cross between a play and a concert. John's charisma is why we always say to watch John live, and you feel it through an electronic medium, imagine being at his concerts - you felt that charisma on steroids. John was "King of Pop" as a teen singing his first few songs, and he had it then. [On the line of 'religious' songs, John sings 'Amazing Grace' with a starring role from Vanetta Fields, his American gospel supporting singer, also 'Angels' with Lisa Edwards, his rock supporting singer (you'll have seen her with the very present hair in Help and dancing in the Long Way to the Top)] Have a great evening/day?

[@davidcruse6589]

You'll need to do granda watch john having fun with a qorld renowned opera singer who has now just got the job of singing phantom of the opers his name is Anthony warlow Apparently he cannhit 5 octave going by other music analysts This is extremely rare even in female's and for a guy spectacular Pretty much unherd of Cheers mate 🇦🇺👍😂

[@BladeRunnermedia]

WOW that's impressive ! Cheers 😀

[@Tomiskar]

The entire performance is well worth watching (too long for a reaction video though). Every single person in that cast and crew spun magic on that incredible rotating stage.

My goodness Blade I love you for this, but I have to say that I listened this opera rock in a voice of Camilo Sesto a Spanish Singer for the fist time a lifetime ago (Spanish is my maternal lenguaje) it gives me goosebumps every time I listen to this master piece, love it, love it, love it 😍😍😍👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🎼🎶🎷
