This song is from 1986. And he still sings this song in the original key. Is that even possible? HELL YEAH!!!! its John farnham singing. One of the best male Singer in the World.

[@vgn2018]

Not One of the best, He IS THE BEST SINGER!!!

[@unomaa6905]

@@vgn2018 yes you are right.

[@becks0816]

While he is good, he is not the best. Check out the live performance of Geoff Tate in Japan - in 1984, same time.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpybZZeMpptnas0

Good stuff can indeed come out of England! Thankfully, people like John, give us faith. Love You JF!

And some get well soon JF

67 years old here and he can still out sing alot of 20 year olds

[@pawsndclawz]

Hes' just turned 71!!!! Hard to believe but its true... July 1 he had his 71st!!!

[@Thisismeeeeee]

@@pawsndclawz yup and can still belt one out

[@fannyingabout]

Most 20 year olds. lol

[@danschiavello]

@@fannyingabout make that every 20 year old lol

[@willthetrill4849]

Most 20 year olds can’t sing this song without destroying their voices

[@safetybeachlife]

Jeezus And this is live. No auto tune here. Brilliant

[@mikaelsjodin1963]

Autotune can and is often used live, but a real singer doesn´t need it obviously!

[@RogueA.I.]

I never heard of John Farnham. I found him by accident on youtube. I’m glad I did. What an amazing voice!

[@diannebernau3293]

He is awesome live. Check out some of his concerts on KZbin, especially Haymate - a fundraiser he organised a couple of years ago to buy hay for farmers affected by the drought. He is 70 in this concert and rocks out Queen and AC/DC life the young ones who originally recorded them. His stamina and voice were phenomenal. Long live Farnese 🥰🥰🥰🥰

You must be young :-)

CHeck him out singing Reminiscing with Little River Band!

[@db7059]

I hope he recovers well from surgery removing cancer from his jaw.

[@romanfictum6119]

Inhuman performance. This is vocal mastery in his 70 years of age he still’s got absolute control of his voice. I am 33 and can’t sing this song the way I did in 25.. this is just insane and beyond understanding to me..

[@lukemanion2]

Old man walks out on stage and remembers he is John F'n Farnham, proceeds to remind everyone who the king is

[@nicholajackson276]

How can he still sing this! Absolutely amazing, bloody love the man x

[@kirsteengooden8907]

Completely underrated most of his career. Such a great voice.

[@aflaz171]

Underrated, hardly jeez!

[@hydro10]

It should be not only Australia's National Anthem, this should be the All Humanity's Anthem.

After all these years people still go crazy when the bagpipes play. Pure awesomeness!

[@janascosycorner]

I kinda cry full with joyment when I hear those in this song!!! 😅

[@JuanitaDMuir]

His voice is still insane, and his backing vocalists are beyond good! What a bloody legend!! Love the song and especially the bagpipes great👍😃

[@andreagale6058]

Damn... watching this song made me smile. This song is now 35 years old. This is my childhood playlist... incredible John Farnham. Amaaaaazing voice. Quite seriously, if you play this song anywhere near Australians, you’ll be an instant legend lol 😂 Brilliant & timely song given the dramas of the world. Enjoy!!

[@chrispalmer4352]

Anthem for Humanity, an Anthem for You, 'man', It Is!🕊️💗🌅💥🙏

[@markbutler5977]

One of the best uses of pipes in a non pipes song ever made. Doesn't try and make the pipes fit pop music. Just lets them play trills and all. And this is coming from someone who spent 12 years in a Highland regiment. Respect.

[@59771006]

@@WHY7772 The original demo didn't have bagpipes, but Farnham thought they could be a good fit. Like most Australians, he's a big AC/DC fan and loves their song "It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'N' Roll)," a rare rock song with bagpipes that inspired him to use the instruments on "You're The Voice."

[@ccolavbail1804]

What a bloody legend!!

[@paultwiss199]

Legend is over used but he is truly a legend and also a down to earth decent person

[@stevedrake604]

It is INCREDIBLE how his voice has maintained over the years! And ... how great is it to see the inimitably beautiful Lisa Edwards still singing "background"? You can tell what an honorable man Farnham is by the loyalty and longstanding nature of his bandmates? Some of these artists have been with him for 35 years! He's like Neal Diamond from the States ... just a great boss and friend.

[@CochabambinoFeliz]

He is Fantastic, amazing. God Bless Jhon Farnham to te end of times.

[@interestedviewer2081]

Reminds me of a german joke: "I want to have a bloody steak." -"Oh, what about some fucking potaoes?"

[@leejlogan]

I can never stop smiling when I see him sing this song. Just love it

[@michaelwk67]

2022 and this song is still as catchy as ever

[@jimmarshall3668]

I don't know how many different videos I have seen of him singing this song and it is the first time he has missed catching the Mike Stand?! What a Great Song and what a Great Singer. I hope he is on the road to full recovery. It would be a tragedy for the World to lose a voice like that!! Get well John, the World needs you!! 💓❤‍🩹🙏💪

[@Vikingxb]

If you where to just listen and not watch the video, you would have no idea he was singing this 30 odd years on from when it was first released. Absolute legend !!!!

[@tom080955]

I cannot get enough of this epically inspirational song , this man’s powerful voice, the audience participation…bagpipes! This bar has been set higher than any others can attempt to achieve. Well done sir! From White Rock BC Canada…cheers and thank you.

[@bjoe74fm]

One of the music industries finest gentleman, without doubt one of the finest vocalist to ever grace my mother land, Australia,,, makes me proud to be Aussie and a musician, coming from his era, what a legend

[@ashiqurrohman7731]

To that person who says he doesnt sound as good a younger self i have to point out that with age the voice is very hard to maintain ..Only few can do it ..One example is Bryan Adams amongst others and one here is John ..The fact that at his age he is belting this song like he is amazing because it is way more difficult at an older age. Plus personally i think his technique and voice with all the experience sounds even more better. This man is definitely a legend...John is the Voice !

[@titan-tm7kl]

Hes still amazing

[@pawsndclawz]

Well said!!! 100% agree with you!!!!

[@andreghouse9192]

I agree 100%. It is worth noting that is not an easy song to sing, at any age. He still kills it. Proud to be an Aussie

I'm Brazilian and I really like your work. This song reminds me a lot of my childhood. Thank you very much and congratulations for the beautiful work. God bless you. 🙏

[@skylinerunner1695]

The time and age in his voice is apparent. Decades of giving his all onstage have robbed him of some the resonance of years past and he doesn't hold the big notes for quite as long, but these changes merely add poignancy to his delivery, and when he does reach for those higher registers, he hits them clean and true. A privilege then to see him still up there after a lifetime of singing his heart out, inspiring us with what has become an anthem for so many. A treasure.

[@interestedviewer2081]

One of the greatest artists ever. He´ll never die or be gone. Unfortunately, no one listened to his words.

[@silvinaalejandraibarra3372]

Fucking amazing.. i wonder if he can still belt it out like that

How wonderful this song and this interpretation of John Farnham. For me it is within the TOP 20 in the history of music

[@jeanettemcconnell607]

John Farnham was born in Dagenham England UK they went to Australia when John was 10 year's old

[@spezi0815]

What a masterpiece of a song! Takes me back to the eighties and brings tears to my eyes. Love the song, love Australia and also love the Veronicas 😉 Greetz from Germany!

The people who give this thumbs down .. please go play on the highway

[@karenstrong8887]

He is still the best at 72. 🦋

At least he tried the mic stand flip and I guess the producer got a heart attack when he did... 🙂 The volume is mind blowing.

This man is PHENOMENAL 😍❤️😍❤️

[@aries898]

John Farnham is an absolute powerhouse and master at his game I will admit at the start of this I thought he was a little flat (in the first verse) but at the end of the first verse he gives a gesture to someone side of stage that only true musicians know- he couldn’t hear himself in the in ear monitors and the gesture he did pointing upwards was him telling someone off stage to ‘turn it up’- once they did he knocked that song out of the ball park 10000%!

[@aries898]

Actually re watching it he tugs at his ear and makes the gesture multiple times in different variations at the start till someone notices 🤣

[@Kmdmzm]

Love and light John

[@victorygah]

Amazing when we listen this big song on Radio for the very first time on 1987. Volumen got UP! Goosebumps WOW!
