This song is the unofficial Australian National Anthem and he is a legend in Australia this song came out in 1986 and the statement and lyrics are just as powerful now as they were back in 1986. With that performance that is how you command a stage and you're audience. Yes everyone just loves and adores John and his fun side and wonderful personality shines through. John is an amazing singer and can sing anything so much more of his wonderful music to discover. Great reaction thank you. 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@MeritScarlet]

Glad you enjoyed it! John is an amazing singer and we all respect and adore him😊

[@shaz50]

Couldn't have said it better. Hang in there John, all of Australia are behind you & judging by all the youtubers who are hearing your incredible voice for the first time. From Brisbane, Aus. 🌹🇦🇺

[@BevHart]

He once stated that the hard work was the rehearsal, and the concert was his fun time with his fans.❤

[@kayethomas7863]

You are so right - he is love by us Australians. Besides being the GOAT he is funny, compassionate and sincere. ❤❤❤

[@glenschoenauer7980]

Such a shame that America didn't discover John 35 years ago when he was at the peak of his career so much better than t😢 current American artists

[@user-jl5lo6cx4g]

He was offered a chance to tour America in big arenas but he was married with a young family and didn't want to be separated from them or having them follow him from arena to arena. So he chose not to follow that path. He was very young when he married, and is still married to Jilly today. He put his family first.

[@robertclymer6948]

I discovered John Farnham in 81 with the Little River Band, which was huge here in the states!!!

[@andrewkuhne2586]

John Farnham has just approved the use of 'Your The Voice' to help with the Yes campaign for the referendum next month of Australia's First Nations Voice to parliament. Thank you JF.

[@jeffwilson7100]

I clearly remember leaving John Farnham concerts, and not being able to talk for 3 days. You wear your voice out singing along with him. He was ALWAYS this good.

[@MeritScarlet]

Wow! I guess that was a great experience and a memorable one 😊

[@jeffwilson7100]

@@MeritScarlet All 5 of them were.

[@sarahholdcroft5053]

John Farnham is the voice.. will remain my favourite singer forever. Help with the MSO is one of the best songs

[@josephwinder6878]

We adore John. Australia's favourite son. He's a super funny and nice guy.

[@user-iq3mp5zo8z]

To everybody in the world who hasn't already done so - watch all of John Farnham's concert and other clips on youtube. When john was born he came with a voice that's out of this world. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. And look up his oh so talented backing singers and his band. ENJOY! And join with the millions of John's fans. 20.10.23. UK E❤

[@user-iq3mp5zo8z]

PS. Recorded in 1986, a few short years before he was 40. He was still belting it out into his early 70s when covid pandemic shut the world down. You're the Voice - . Google will tell you why it was written and who wrote it. Many of his songs have a back story, those he wrote or co-wrote himself have real meanings. 20.10.23. UK. E❤

[@Antipodean33]

Can you believe his manager had to mortgage his home to record this dude? You'd think record labels would've been tripping over each other to sign him

[@user-iq3mp5zo8z]

I watch Farnsey videos daily (only got a mobile phone, no Internet in the house) , and daily i thank the universe for the late Glenn Wheatley. Who, along with his wife Gaynor, was also the much loved friend of Farnsey and his family Farnsey's back story is really interesting. It's all on youtube - interviews, documentaries. And similar videos about his backing singers and his band. Only the very best for the very best. Feb. '24. UK. E❤

[@matallens3006]

Have a look how much fun everyone is having in the band and the Melbourne symphony orchestra especially the conductor he cant stop rockin out and smiling its a feel good song, and everyone has a voice to be heard and to say something if its not fair or wrong. Great song and great messege

[@carolynh8866]

The best!

[@MeritScarlet]

Yes🙌

[@MargaretGuppy]

Watching to the end you hear John thanking the audience and the Orchestra. All part of John's brilliant entertainment package. This song is one reason why we (in Aus) know John and love him as THE VOICE, apart from his obvious voice skill & talent! Love your reaction.

[@MeritScarlet]

Glad you enjoyed it 😊 we really enjoyed reacting to this amazing icon 💝

[@ebonycam]

yeah he does that at the end of Hekp which was the closing song. They did react to that and see that part :)

[@devilsadvocate2548]

​@@ebonycam although for this particular concert, Help wasn't the closing song. He came back out for another encore after Help to sing Sadie and closed the night with It's a Long Way to the Top.

[@denisebailey8715]

John is an amazing singer, he is loved by everyone in Australia 🇦🇺. I have been lucky enough to go to many of his concerts. He is so humble and down to earth, fame hasn’t changed him at all. He is now fighting mouth cancer and had an 11 hour operation and having treatment still. Keep him in your prayers ❤ and check out Help and When the War is Over, spine tingling love you John xxx

[@glenschoenauer7980]

The song Your The Voice started off as a protest song against Nuclear weapons in 1986 by the writers of the song and JF turned it into the unofficial National Anthem of Australia

[@damianmackinnon5742]

If you look closely at 3:54 of your reaction, you will see John throwing the microphone stand in the air, and then catching it, before throwing it across the stage. Watch him for about a minute before this, and you can see him tightening the stand.

[@MeritScarlet]

Yeah I just saw that 😊 thanks for making me go back to watch again 😅 He is deeeem good 👍

[@mxslick50]

@@MeritScarlet Even better, he catches it ON THE BEAT!! And when he goe to pick it up from stage left, watch the smooth kick and catch. He does this in most all of his performances of this song, although in the later years he misses the first catch sometimes...but he still keeps singing with missing, and even laughs it off. As a former monitor mix engineer, I also can say for sure there is never any autotune even on the later performances, and the sound mix here was one of the best I have ever heard. I only wish I had discovered him a lot sooner (I even sent my former Aussie roommate an angry email, blaming him for not telling me about John when he stayed at my place in 1998), it was the "Merlin" BTS video of Bradley and Colin lip sync'ing this song that I found it. A wonderful performer and nice guy, much like (the late) Eddie Money.

[@pennydunbar459]

An Australian anthem and part of the fabric of our country. Have a listen to a heartbreaker ballad ..’’Burn for You “.

[@MeritScarlet]

We enjoyed reacting to it😊 thanks we will definitely check it out

[@fluffynielsey7783]

Stumbled across this by accident, glad you liked our Whispering Jack.. Emotional lyrics with one powerful voice singing.. Love your accent guys, much love from Australia 🫶

[@carbine5378]

This song can cover a range of different issues, it’s timeless and relevant to any generation.

[@MeritScarlet]

Yes👍

[@ebonycam]

I just love watching you guys enjoy him. He is such a treasure the entire world would share in him too. If you want to watch the music video (LIVE IS always best vocally) but the video does really hit the message home of the song.

[@MeritScarlet]

Thank you 😊 Glad you enjoyed it. We really enjoy reacting to his performance. He is indeed a great singer

[@barnowl.]

This song was written by people in England who wanted to go to a march for an anti-nuclear demonstration but accidently missed it. They wrote this song instead. It can be applied to any fight for the good, the true and the beautiful. John Farnham has a number of songs with a message for the greater good of the world. To sing and bring us joy is what John has come here to do. His Soul shines when he is on stage, performing live.

[@user-oi7fh5ji3f]

Thank you for reacting to the fantastic John Farnham and his signature song! If you're into ballads, you might want to react to his duet with the late Olivia Newton-John, "Please Don't Ask Me".

[@MeritScarlet]

Thank you 😊 we will definitely check it out

[@jgsheehan8810]

John Farnham is superb live. You might look for the version from the Fire Fight Concert of 2020 with Brian May of Queen, Olivia Newton-John and Mitch Tambo when John was 70 odd years old...

[@davidpalahinjak8954]

Banger! 😎🔥🤘🎸

[@timothyfreise]

Great reaction also to this video.

[@CoolCoyote]

10/10 great

[@realkangaroocafevietnam]

Thanks to you both for the wonderful post & your really kind comments about Our John. There's quite a bit to our John's back story & it was no mistake that scenes from Australia's illegal, cowardly, perverted & miserably failed invasion of Viet Nam were in the original video track. John (a former Plumber) like all Aussie Building Union members (like me back then & will be always) was only young but we knew & have never forgotten or forgiven the Conservative Party in Australia for illegally invading Viet Nam. The Building Unions in Australia are magnificent & were the back bone of the Anti Viet Nam Invasion movement.

[@scottkilla]

Merit looks like he has an issue, Scarlet is into in........ lighten up guys...... he threw a mic stand, did you see that?

[@simonrussell6884]

So the big picture is these two ….and the small is what we came to see…….hahahah😂😂

[@KARAOKEMONTREAL]

Nice reaction. I really like that you didn't pause the song and listened to it straight through form start to finish. If you liked that one, then you might like this little gem called "The Flame" by the band Cheap Trick sung by their amazing lead vocalist Robin Zander... kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5iQk2qEg9-djs0

Thanks for that! We will definitely check it out

[@Fish29077]

Powerful stuff!

[@MeritScarlet]

Yes soo powerful

[@RobB-vz2vo]

This song came out in '86 when the cold war was in full swing and everyone lived in fear of being vapourised by idiot politicians with their weapons of mass destruction. An appropriate song at the time with a Third World War was a credible threat at the time. I was a child in the '60s and even as a 5 year old I was very aware of war and it's consequences. When the song came out I would have been exposed to 20 years of this stress up to that point and, along with everyone else, was tired of it all.

[@MeritScarlet]

Wow! Glad to know this. The song says it all and it will forever live with us 😊

[@timothyfreise]

I suggest the age of reason john farnham or I am you are we are australian by the seekers

[@MeritScarlet]

Alright noted! Thanks 😊 we will surely check them out

It was against nuclear proliferation. Written by English songwriters.
