There are good singers, there a great singers and there's some fabulous singers out there....but there's only one Voice...the legend called John Farnham!

[@vickyjara9529]

100% There will never be another John Farnham ever!!!! 😊🤗

[@matthewlauer5536]

Journey should have hired JF after Steve Perry retired.

[@jcee6886]

​@vickyjara9529 the greatest vocalist I've ever heard.

[@simonl8082]

GOAT!!!. Greatest voice of all time, no one will ever match him. Australia, you have a god amongst you.

[@FionaEm]

70 years old when he did this - voice just as powerful as ever. How many artists can we say that about? Farnham is an absolute legend 🙌 👏

[@TheBraddles82]

John still belting it out and shout out to Lisa Edwards still looking great and sounding great on backing vocals 👌🏼

[@jenniewilliams6392]

So Lindsay

[@deansapp4635]

As a American , John has one of the best voices, EVER

[@julzhunt7790]

For sure👍🏼🐨🦘🇦🇺

[@vickijo2343]

Deffo, still amazing

[@louiserawle8999]

As an Australian..I know😂😂😂

[@wtf8020]

I love John Farnham... Hes an incredible singer and man!! It saddens me to know hes aging... I want him to be immortal... Lol...

[@deb9711]

His voice certainly is ❤

[@andrewskinner8560]

So do I. John is an absolute legend.

[@user-iq3mp5zo8z]

Immortal would be wonderful, but it's never going to happen. However, there is a huge catalogue of song and show recordings for all we fans who need a daily farnham fix to get through the days' nitty gritty with happy and joyful faces. He's just astonishing, no-one Compares. 24.9.23. UK. E❤

[@mordyth]

Bloody legend. I'm pretty sure all Australia prays that he has a full recovery and is able to belt out tunes again in the future

[@RolandDeschain1]

John Farnham is one of the world's greatest human beings.

[@shellyweiers121]

He absolutely is one eye well said

[@aflaz171]

He da man!

[@julzhunt7790]

Yes he is a wonderful human being.

[@bipolarlife7405]

Bloody hell this fella is 71 here and giving it his all and sounding as good as ever, get well mate we need you

[@kennykarlsson9888]

One of the best singer on this planet. He may be old but he still deliver such incredible vocal performance at the age of 70. Not many has that vocal range eventhough they are way yonger than him. World class singer.

[@pauljordan4452]

True. Robert Plant lost the range and power he used to have, as a comparison.

[@georgietaunajr6011]

I'M FROM PAPUA NEW GUINEA & I HAD TEARS WATCHING THIS MAN SING AT HIS AGE! JOHN YOU ARE TRULY THE MASTER OF THE MIC!! MASTER OF ALL VOICES, AND DOWN RIGHT LEGEND!!! YOU WERE BORN TO SING HANDS DOWN!! FOR ME YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY GREATEST SINGER OF ALL TIME.!!! LONG LIVE THE KING OF VOICES JOHN FARNHAM!!!! THE VOICE!!

[@AralBereux]

Wishing you a speedy recovery, John. You're part of the Australian fabric, mate.

[@helenstecenko9345]

John Farnham our all Australian Son, this man is al heart. RESPECT

[@craigh9968]

John's vocal chords are a national treasure

[@flatoutt1]

AND his caring heart AND his authority .when he says jump we jump knowing it's for the best and he's keeping us safe. so if something gets john's attention that we need to do something about we rely on him to say jump and we jump.just on this and i know it's a bit off topic ,and i NEVER thought i'd ever say this ,so it's a great pleasure to be able to say this . i think our PM have been getting a real workout through all this drama ,and their list of advisers , so i officially say well done all. i appreciate your efforts and skill. you've been earning your money and our respect and admiration .it must be a bloody hard job keeping the ship off the rocks.and i know you stuff up sometimes ,despite your best efforts ,we all do . we have something really special in the aussi character that i hope we become more aware of and cherish . and even give it away to the rest of the world ,or at least share it around a bit .i'm unemployed at the moment and that extra $250 /week has put a smile on my landlords face. just on respect for leadership ,i saw a vid the other day with keith payne vc and the governor general peter cosgrove and keith asked the governor general where he could sit and the governor general said "keith you can sit anywhere you like ". loved that .smart man

[@bradchervel5202]

World treasure.

[@nicolaslegrand9414]

Holy f'...ing sh..t!!! Pardon my French ... for I am French, this guy's voice is just insane. He's ageless! Lived in Melbourne as a kid for nine years and watching all these videos with John just takes me down memory lane, carefree moments... Such a loveable guy and what a bloody singer! Insane! Take care John!

[@divinemadness7119]

You are a legend John! Gave me goosebumps! This is why you are The Voice 🥰❤️🇦🇺😍

[@geordieinca9834]

Amazing voice. Saw him pushing a stroller thru Disneyland in the 80s, no one knew who he was! I decided not to bother him on his downtime, but what a sighting.

[@robadrenalin]

Jon Bon Jovi, take notes, this is how you treat your voice. This guy is a LEGEND. My daughter, a talented vocalist has attempted ' You're the voice' and said it's incredibly difficult to sing, it takes two separate vocal types to sing correctly. Jon Farnham....We salute you!

[@peterkoulogeorgiou4895]

Rob Adrenalin your right the song is hard Farnham makes it look easy and as for bonjovi he’s good but he doesn’t have Farnhams voice

[@davishound111]

@Gail McLean yup made Coldplay look like a school band

[@stellasole3720]

Might just be physiology as well. Ppl are allowed to age, not everyone's the same.

[@mcmusicm]

Bon Jovi has some hearing condition as well. His 2022 tour was unlistenable. He was flat all through the tour. It's not only his voice is shot, he can't find his place. Hopefully it's not something neurological but the slurring and loose timing may be signs of it, plus he's been pushing for at least 10 good years. On the other hand... Farnham might easily be one of the best singers EVER. His high notes at 70 are clean, no gimmicks, true heartfelt singing and amazing technique. Unbeatable !

[@jenniewilliams6392]

No excuses john lost some his hearing in his 60s never changed his voice or his singing

[@texasrwayne31]

I am across the pond, here in the USA. It started with Little River Band and I have gone deep down the John Farnham rabbit hole today. I am throughly impressed by his voice and to still be able to sing like that in his seventies is amazing.

[@smokestackstudiosgem]

Brett Garsed is a true virtuoso guitarist/musician. This was an absolute guitar master class on how to play for the song from country to shred, all the tones and technique are there and that strat just suits him so well. Awesome awesome job, Very proud right now.🎸🎸

[@dirkm1920]

When talent beats youth. He is still one of the greatest!

[@geeclatters6121]

What a friggin legend of a bloke. An Aussie icon.

[@michaelkennedyreviews24]

All I can say is thank you John. All the years, thank you.

[@bernadettelanders7306]

Absolutely, unbelievable talent. Totally blown away by the power John still has in his voice at 70. John you are a true Aussie icon and legend, loved and respected by so many. WTG Farnsey - Australia is so proud of you, your band and your crew, more than you’ll ever grasp ❤️🇦🇺

[@jonathonpursell1268]

❤

[@danielagarcia1004]

I love this man. Beautiful soul, beautiful voice. It's a pleasure to know that he still keeping that voice ♥️

[@fipps40]

To sing like that at an age when most singers have to sing their greatest hits in ever decreasing keys is nothing short of genius!! Absolutely amazing vocals!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ChrisAndCats]

Look at the distance of his mike too...impressive stuff.

[@donellefeltham]

The thing about JOHN Is, if something needs doing, he does it.Great to also see his voice is as great as it’s always been. 🎼❤️🇦🇺🕺🏻💃🎸☘️

[@crankiemanx8423]

He is such a down to earth, good kind hearted man,with an amazing voice.

[@elantraboy]

Congratulations John. Still able to belt out the tunes at 70 with that powerful voice. The concert was a great event put on many folk helping out other aussies who are struggling due to the drought so a big thanks to all those performers, crew and management who put the concert together. To those wanting to sook about john's voice not being 100% the man could have said no to this concert but he said yes and all kudos to the man and he could have sat back and done nothing!!!

[@donellefeltham]

Age has definitely not affected John’s voice, he’s can still belly a song out as good as he ever could. I just hope he’s well again soon. 🎼❤️🇦🇺🕺🏻💃🎸☘️

[@opinionsvary3132]

He's still got it... other singers from the 70's & 80's drop tuning the guitars so it sounds like they can still sing the songs the same but John still hits the octaves and even has to drop the mic a foot down..... ... Respect.

[@BrandonBeard]

Well stated 👍

[@opinionsvary3132]

@@BrandonBeard Cheers mate. 😊

[@csucsu80]

This man can't be serious!!! I used to sing (nowhere near his standards of course) and being 42 I am happy if I can tell my name with one breath. And he is 70 here...

[@tictactoedias1908]

Hope and pray he’s recovering at God Speed, beautiful person bless him ❤

[@4adgray2]

"You're the Voice" - 4 miked up singers singing as loud as they can and still the audience drowns them out! THAT IS HIS LEGACY!!!! WE SHALL CLEARLY MAKE NOISE!!!! 💖

[@APH1991]

His vocal range is still ridiculously bloody good.

[@DKashman]

Without fail one of the greatest to ever pull up to a microphone anywhere in the world, but proud to say he made his name and career right here in Australia and remained loyal to his fans..... Lots of love and respect to you Legend.

Love John Farnham for his voice and his wise choice to hire Brett Garsed. How lucky we are to have such talent in this country. I am sure they would have loved to have had Stuart Fraser along for the ride. Rip Stewie.

*NO* ... Not only that but *HELL NO* Peter Garrett lost all his integrity when he became a politician, I wouldn't want to see the same happen to John Farnham

[@gregbrechelt2295]

Bloody hell Mr Voice “outstanding at 70” same can be said for the backing artists and vocalists still with you, Lisa and Lindsay “hats off for your talent and friendship” yes it would have been great to see venetta fields,Chong lim and jack jones in there. merry Christmas and thank you for making Australia Great and making Australians feel united we all love you.

God Bless John ! He's still got the wind in him. Very powerful voice.. a true Aussie Legend.. I've met him at Perth Telethon, such beautiful blue eyes :) A great Australian 🎁

[@bernhardkrickl3567]

Unbelievable! Not many are able to keep their voice in shape up to that age. He is singing it every bit as powerful as back in the eighties. That takes a very healthy technique and good practice.

[@JustMe-fu4vc]

After 50 years of our wonderful Farnsie and watching this amazing concert, I had the thought pop into my head that maybe when John was 17 George Carlin popped out of a telephone box to tell him that his voice would align all of the planets of the universe 700 years into the future..."Excellent" and I can so believe it. Get well John xx

[@roxee57]

My goodness, those pipes still incredible after all these years. You bloody ripper!

[@pleitao5]

oh boy! What a voice!!!! 70's' wow!!!!!!! What a LEGEND!

[@pamelahay6242]

I love it that John incites the crowd to sing AC/DC. Bon Scott would be chuckling and totally enjoying this if he had stuck around. A nice nod to another legendary and much loved Aussie Rocker . John’s constant “comeback touring” ( never actually ever retired or went away), has kept his voice in good condition. Vocal chords are muscles. Like all muscles; use them or losr them. He’s always had great breath control & timing which helps what he does seem almost effortless. Amazing vocalist!
