Omg have u guys got ears, complaining about the vocals.... I'm not subscribing to this ignorance

I never asked you to - I watched the whole thing over and I can't find what you have an issue with. we had nothing but respect for the artist. it's a free platform, thanks for sharing and I hope you find another channel that works for you!

@@RollenGreenRants redeemed yourself a little. I was never a fan of Farnham but I've learnt to recognise his voice is one of the best in the world. Unfortunately the commentary started off with a negative, whilst every other commentator was blown away

@@buff_stuff Redeem yourself? Afternoon Mark, see your wielding that power of a free coupon you found well. As a bus rider and club goer I say please don’t subscribe, negative people we really don’t need. Now if you ever want to ride along and come in the club your always welcome. We don’t skin you for being rude but we do let you know. Could you give a link to a reaction to the same song that you like. This channel is different, we request an artist for our friend Rollen to react too and he honestly gives his feed back. Sometimes it can take months and months before a request is noticed. Sometimes that request fits into the day and it goes right up. When you feel like noticing the beautiful connections we make on here come on back. Also heads up you really cut into a long line to ask Rollen to redeem himself. As a supporter of the channel I can tell you that Rollen has a ton of redemption behind him and really doesn’t need yours buddy. You got a thirty minute video all about you that 16,000 subscribers get to view now. Errrrrr thanks I guess , like and subscribe down below. Just FYI some of us watch because Rollen has something to say and we care nothing about the video. Enjoy your journey Mark 👌👍👋🚌💨💨💨💨💨🤟

This song is Australia’s unofficial national anthem. There is not an Aussie alive who doesn’t know it. It’s still as relevant today as it was then.

[@peterdubois65]

I still remember reading rolling stone when they placed whispering jack (the album this is from) as number 3 in the top 200 albums of all time. He could have been bigger overseas but he wasn't interested in leaving his family and his country for extended touring. Maybe you'll find an Australian that doesn't like his music but you'll have a hard time finding anyone that has a bad word to say about him. Basically he's just a really nice guy with an amazing natural talent.

[@brettharrison5136]

Another wonderful reaction guys. There is nothing like being at johns concert and hearing this song. Goosebumps to the extreme. John is such a humble genuine person.

[@iankearns774]

This is a good reaction and you are right. We shouldn't live in silence or fear, this is an anthem though written in the 1980's is so poignant today. I am an Aussie who heard this song when it was released and it was always going to be a hit here in Australia but its sad that other nations never got to hear it at the time when it was released. Andy Qunta, Keith Reid, Maggie Ryder and Chris Thompson wrote the song, Keith Reed was the writer of all Procul Harems songs so no surprise how anthemic the song is. John Farnham did absolute justice to it with his amazing vocal talents.

John is one of the greatest singers / performers of all time - anywhere - any time. I could be biased. Have been in love with John's voice since the age of 11 - bouncing round the house with a pretend microphone in hand hollering "One Is The Loneliest Number"! To a chorus of "Shut UP with that bloody thing already!!!" from siblings & mother. Have remained in love ever since. So that's what... oh... only around 5 decades now. 😍🤣👍 { Holy Mollolly! That's 1/2 a century! 😳😵‍💫}

The Classic Jack concert was distributed on dvd, with the camera footage collected by computer for cutting.

[@kathleenmayhorne3183]

The official video is great with relevant visuals, but he's always better live. "we're not gonna sit in silence, we're not gonna live with fear" "we're all someone's daughter, we're all someone's son, how long can we look at each other, down the barrel of a gun?" John practises long and hard at rehearsals, (that's how you keep your voice in shape) so when he performs, it's mainly for fun. Have you seen "Help" from the same concert?

[@Bellas1717]

Thanks guys for another great reaction. John getting the crowd to use their voice is a nice acting out of the message. I think you would really love to see John's comedic side as well as his range by reacting to Granada where he sings with Anthony Warlow, an Aussie opera and musical theatre great ( they reference Phantom of the Opera). In the beautiful moment of your shared look with each other, you missed John's acrobatics with the microphone stand. Might be worth a look. Cheers.

[@777colin1]

Having lived in Australia for many years, I came to realise that John Farnham is the greatest singer ever, and this song is the ultimate anthem to define what peace on a world scale means. 'We're all someone's daughter, we're all someone's son, how long can we look at each other, down the barrel of a gun'. No other song or singer has ever said it better or with more conviction.

[@debbiecurrie7336]

John farnham live is brilliant no matter what please listen to john farnham and Jimmy Barnes they are great together songs like something is wrong with my baby

[@jayweb51]

The title song of his second contemporary album The Age of Reason, in my opinion is the sequel to You're The Voice; it appears to address the message, that You're The Voice addresses.

[@carolynh8866]

You are right. He is a giver. He puts everything into every performance to please the crowds. If you go far enough down the rabbit hole you will see him drenched in sweat and loving every minute. He loves to perform for his fans he lives to sing. The number of times he has retired and come back out of retirement because 1. We wont let him, and 2. He lives to perform .. Not only that the number of concerts he has done to raise funds for farmers affected by droughts or fires or floods. And overseas to entertain troops on the front line. The way he puts his musicians and back up singers up on pedistals is shown by how long most of them have stayed by his side with him since the 80's. Top that all of with being one of the greatest singers of all time, being cute as hell and an all round nice bloke. This man jas been on top in australia with number one albums in over 5 decades from the 60's to the 2000's. And was still performing occasionally in his 70's. Until covid put a stop to touring. His recorded videos are beatiful and perfect, but live in concert magical as he puts so much more of himself into each performance.

[@juliannetomlinson]

Like Bohemian Rhapsody is Britains second anthem this is ours.

[@karenstrong8887]

[@nadinerichings4259]

John Farnham has one of the best voices you will ever hear. Best songs to listen to: 1. When Something is Wrong with My Baby, duet with Jimmy Barnes (Official video version is best, in black & white, Johnny Diesel on guitar). 2. Help, with MSO (Melbourne Symphony Orchestra); slow cover of Beatles song. 3. Reminiscing; as lead singer of LRB (Little River Band) from the mid-80s. 4. Gethsemane, from the musical Jesus's Christ Superstar; John played Jesus and the song is a message to God the night before he is crucified. Unbelievably powerful and emotional and freaking amazing vocals. 5. Black Dog; Cover of Led Zeppelin song, on YT, Audio only. Holy hell, at times John sounds exactly Ike Robert Plant

You’re The Voice was written in influence of nuclear weapons disarmament protest in London in 1985 . The song was originally rejected by the recording company of singer songwriter Chris Thompson . It apparently a demo got to Australia and in the hands of John Farnham through one of songs co-writers Andy Qunta who was working in Australia at that time with Australian band ICEHOUSE and heard that John was looking for songs so sent a demo to John Farnham’s manager Glenn Wheatley. Well John love it at first listen of the demo and it was he’s idea to add the bagpipe solo out of influence of his favourite AC/DC song It’s A Long Way To The Top ( If You Wanna Rock N Roll ) . The original songwriter Chris Thompson firstly refused John Farnham to record You’re The Voice because of the knowledge of John in he’s younger years being teen pop star that sang novelty pop songs like he’s first hit song Sadie The Cleaning Lady back in 1967 at the age 18 , Chris didn’t know that John Farnham had ditched the novelty pop and singing more mature adult contemporary pop rock songs and even fronted the Little River Band from 1982 to the beginning of 1986 . Eventually Chris changed his mind after having a chat with John directly not through management like firstly . Once John finished recording You’re The Voice he sent he’s copy to Chris Thompson and he love it . Chris and Andy has written a few more songs for John since . You’re The Voice revitalised John Farnham career beyond anyones imagination becoming number 1 in Australia 1986 for 6 weeks John first number 1 song in 18 years . The song was also a hit throughout Europe and the UK . You’re The Voice was lead single for John’s Whispering Jack album 1986 which as sold over 1,700,000 copies in Australia making it the highest selling Australian domestic album . John Farnham was first Australian artist prove that Australian artist can outsell and compete with major International artists from the USA and the UK in our local domestic market.

There is also a version on YT where John sings it with Celine Dion. This is a great song because when it was first out in 1986 everyone was hoping for The Wall to come down and this was a bit of an anthem.........took 3 more years and it seems that some things are going backwards....sigh. As for feeling a song I don't think you can go past Sinead O'Connor's 'Nothing Compares 2 U' [poor Prince lost control of his song there].
