PLATINUM Ganster Rapper's FIRST Time REACTION To John Farnham - You're the Voice

[@orraman5427]

Now listen to him performing this song live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. The words "night" and "day" come to mind.

[@kenkahuna]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJ6VnpJvis6dqdE Always listen to John's LIVE performances!

[@gigisplayground4657]

Yes!!!! Also!!! Please watch the live version of “In days to come” - all of his songs usually have great messages. He is phenomenal and you don’t get it until you see him live. Those notes he goes to his head voice on the record, he BELTS them live!!! Please do more John Farnham live in concert ❤

[@gigisplayground4657]

This was an anti war song 😊

[@Westcountrynordic]

Hope you listen to the version which has the choir boy at the start, the version that many react to had cut the choir boy off.

[@Jus7aguy]

Help from the same performance.

[@georgeibrahim7945]

John is no normal singer he is a powerhouse. This is such a great song with powerful message. I recommend always listening to John live you will appreciate him even more

[@AussieDebb]

Our Aussie GOAT to the World since 1967. He is phenomenal live because his stage presence, stage craft, mic and mic stand craft and tricks, interaction with his audience, his love and respect for his band and crew, and his fantastic, genuine character. You will have so many Aussies coming on board going down this rabbit hole. He's the only Aussie to have No 1 hit and/or album in 5 consecutive decades. This is still our highest selling single of all time. Watch him live Classic. His are all classics 😍

[@Jojomac-ix7oi]

Please, please , please react to more John Farnham, especially live. He knows how to captivate a crowd. May I suggest 'Help' live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Thanks for your great reaction. ❤

[@VedranG]

He is an Australian Legend. He is a great live performer. recommended is Help with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.

[@sunisbest1234]

I think you get the message! (From almost every comment here. Lol!) Listen and watch John live! He ALWAYS gives 110%! Only exception is Led Zeplin " Black Dog ". There is only audio as it's used as a warm-up song pre-concert. It's amazing!!!!

[@LordRahl1975]

This song is a protest song. A call to unity and to action. To make our voices heard. We all share a common humanity yet need to take an active role in changing the world for the better and ending violence, wars, poverty, etc etc

[@MrDarkwing78]

Krizz, it’s awesome you’ve found your way to Farnsy, but heed the comments, always live with him. He comes from a time before autotune so he’s even better live than recorded. There is good reason he is called “The Voice”. You should actually listen to this song again, but Live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra so you can appreciate his stage presence as well. Just be sure to keep an eye on the mic stand!🤌 An absolute chefs kiss moment. Also, be sure to be familiar with The Beatles original of “Help” before hearing Farnsy’s rearrangement, it will boost your appreciation, as it is possibly the greatest cover of any song ever. Again, Live with the MSO.

[@Jus7aguy]

There's a few concerts up (most notably I think from the Whispering Jack album/tour?) where they do the Beatles more pop/upbeat/fast version first, then transition straight into the more poignant/slower version that is Johns.

[@joandsarah77]

John Farnham is an Australian legend. You want to react to Farnsey live. The best are with the Melbourne Sympathy orchestra. For whatever reason John never made it into the US, but he has blessed our ears for 50 years. You're The Voice is a protest song. It's roots came from the nuclear disarmament rallies in 1983.

[@Jus7aguy]

John was given the opportunity to move to the USA for music I believe, but chose to remain in Australia.

[@joandsarah77]

I would suggest "Help" which is a Beatles cover that he did live with the Melbourne Sympathy orchestra in 1989.

[@adwood201]

When it come to John Farnham, always live!

[@ArtbyKaitlin]

Johnny Farnhem is considered Australian Royalty. He's the best voice to come out of Australia along with other greats like Jimmy Barnes. Unfortunately he has suffered from throat cancer in his later years, but is still a beautiful man. ❤ definitely explore more of his music. His cover of The Beatles song Help is amazing.

[@mercyriddle]

Like other folks said, John is Australian music royalty, absolute institution in our musical history. I really recommend his duet with another Australian rock legend Jimmy Barnes called 'Something Is Wrong With My Baby'

[@Kaz54650]

….and preferably one of the several live versions. The official video is fine but they soar live.

[@Jus7aguy]

@@Kaz54650 This is probably the only one where I actually prefer the studio version to the live ones. There's something about the mood and style of the video of that one that lends it a certain something-something. Not that the live ones aren't also fantastic.

[@lisadelahaye6568]

John Farnham is a great Australian singer and you were correct to pick up on the fact that this is an anthem type song for us aussies. He has been singing since the 1960's, other songs to check out include 'Please Don't Ask Me' live version with orchestra with another great Australian songstress Olivia Newton John (who played Sandy in the movie Grease'), and the song 'When Something is Wrong with my Baby' with another great Australian singer Jimmy Barnes. nb: all three of the above singers were born in the UK but moved to Australia when young and started their musical career here in Australia. You can also add the Bee Gees to that list of being born overseas but then moving to Australia when young and starting their musical career here down under as well. Thank you for reacting to this song.

[@F0RTY4]

John Farnham will be one of the most iconic voices to have graced this earth, a powerhouse vocalist, a performer like no other, and probably one of the most humblest personas you would ever meet if you ever meet him, and though his music videos are great, his live performances are 10x better, where you will really here the full range and extensiveness of this man's voice as well as his interactions with the crowd. You really need to check his live performance with "The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra" maybe his cover of the Beatles classic "Help". love the reaction bro, and love the interaction between you and your son, me and my son have that same type of relationship, its about building a leader and you seem like a great example for your son.

[@toddyrocket296]

The only singer that I've heard that sounds better Live. 👊

[@MM-li8nk]

Agree, him and Fleetwood Mac - the club is small! Can't fake that sort of talent my friend.

[@markray5604]

Oh bro, need to listen to this guy live. Try John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes - “When something is wrong with my baby” so much soul

[@markray5604]

This is a fabulous soul song.

[@kevinjorgensen1046]

I saw him in concert in my little hometown in Australia. I was 16. I am now 72. An Australian icon.

[@MeredithPike-z1u]

Still can't believe this song came out in 1986, where have all those years gone. Always been a JF fan & when this song came out of my radio it blew my mind. I thought OMG what a song & it'll be a big.hit for John & it was. So glad Glenn Wheatley signed him on coz he had troubles in the 1970's but when the radio stations heard this they were sold. The whole Whispering Jack album is great with other songs such as Pressure Down, Touch Of Paradise just to name 2 more. I also liked his follow up album Age Of Reason.

[@rickmumford9837]

I idolise this man. The epitome of a legend. Seen him a number of times.❤

[@wendyryder2708]

Hi Krizz! Glad you have found our legend! ALWAYS do John LIVE! The best version is with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra! He has SO many hits! He has been around since the sixties! He had a big operation two years ago for cancer in his mouth and jaw! He unfortunately can’t sing any more! He is now 75 years old! If possible you should go down this rabbit hole! He can do ANY genre! PLEASE check him out! Peace and Blessings to you and yours from Australia.

[@Beckaboo3397]

It’s about making a stand for what you believe in and what’s right letting your voice be heard and coming together . Stop looking at each other as the enemy (how long can we look at each other down the barrel of a gun)

[@Deb_Bee_Thriver]

Glad you've finally discovered the phenomenal Aussie legend John Farnham! You now have 5 decades of John's hit songs and awesome concerts to catch up on. Also always watch his live performances please.

[@heatherwickstead7980]

As well as listening to the live version with MSO , I suggest where he does sing about love in 2 Strong hearts, Touch of Paradise, Burn for You! Thanks so much for your reaction 😊

[@AnEnquiringMind]

Hey Krizz. Farnsy is a LEGEND!!! Looking at other down the barrel of a gun is a metaphor for conflict and strife. War. This was the anthem of Generation X in Australia. This was our call to arms to speak up and make our voices heard.

[@d.s.6268]

Great reaction ! One of my favorite vocal performances. Huge in Australia. It's basically an anti-war song, hence "How long can we look at each other down the barrel of a gun...". I recommend you react to the live version where you can really take in just how good his voice is. thx.

[@alimac1469]

Live is best in the future. John is our GOAT

[@christineyates2618]

The era of the computer has brought Australia's best to the rest of the world, listen and learn. We have enjoyed this man since 1966. ( by the way the man to Johns left in the white coat is Tommy Emanuel who out plays Americas best. Check him out.) He has been declared a G.O.A.T and that my friend is an American term. You in the rest of the world are late to this party, we have only the best over here, Olivia Nweton-John is an example you sould be familiar with?

[@1970GenXer]

John has had a No.1 hit single or album in the last 5 consecutive decades. He's a Legend or G.O.A.T for you younger Americans.

[@carolynh8866]

6 decades. 2015 and 2016 duet albums with ONJ

[@lynndally9160]

Farnsey ❤ known as "The Voice", here in Australia. John was still singing into his 70s and still belting it 👌 Always react to John Live, so much better than studio recordings. John can sing any genre, from rock to pop, soul to opera. 🇦🇺🐐

[@Kaz54650]

John’s a hugger too, and a devoted father to loving sons. Nice to see. You haven’t heard of him because a lot of Australian talent of the 70s-90s didn’t get heard in the US. This song went number 1 in Australia, West Germany and I think Sweden. Top 10 in the UK. The Rambo guitarist is a very young Brett Garsed, he is a great fusion/hybrid picking/legato and slide guy. Worth checking out for serious guitarists.

[@nicolegardner8193]

Him and Jimmy Barnes are Gold together!

[@nwredneckturner1508]

As others have mentioned, you MUST check out the live version with The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. It's absolutely electric! And then his cover of 'Help' from the same concert! He is well known as 'The Voice' for good reason!

[@warolo4]

Help or Black Dog will give you a glimpse of his amazing voice...

[@donnabost4445]

If I can remember he was a part of the Little River Band here in the states briefly---missed being close to his family made the decision to stay in Australia!!

[@AussieDebb]

Yep was with LRB from 1982 to 1986 and was fantastic with them too ❤❤ John Farnham - always live ❤😂

[@amennamaste9173]

You got do his other songs "Two strong hearts" "Help" with symphony orchestra "Pressure down"

[@Maureen-g2c]

ALWAYS LISTEN TO JOHN LIVE. He is so much more than a singer, he is a PERFORMER.

[@shanegooding4839]

Aussie Royalty!😁 If you want to see more bagpipes in an Aussie rock song watch AC/DC It's a Long Way to the Top if You Wanna Rock n Roll.

[@lisamareepritchard6375]

John Farnham is an Australian national treasure. I’ve seen him live twice & he sounds just as good ❤

[@tiaelina1090]

Always best to listen to his live performances, “help” is a good song with the Melbourne symphony orchestra, “a touch of paradise” to name a few.

[@louiseciur316]

You have to do the song help live at the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra he has a white shirt that's when you know you got the right show and an ACDC track it's a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll the same concert that one will definitely blow your mind

[@justlinsu]

It's still 'relevant' in today's world....countries at war...people dying etc etc. Love this song.... this song was number 1 in many countries all over the world... He performed this at an open air concert in Germany in front of 150,000 fans and they wouldn't let him off the stage....awesome video of that on YT.... Many thanks from Australia. More John Farnham please.

[@TexasDonna-xu6fq]

John is The Voice of Australia like Steve Perry is The Voice here in the US!

[@deey138]

This is my first time hearing this and I love it

[@MrDarkwing78]

You loved this, just wait till you hear his live performances. Studio recordings of Farnsy just don’t do his voice justice, let alone the fact you miss out on seeing his stage presence. The man knows how to work an audience.

[@guccigasbag2780]

@deey138 you have to look him up on KZbin here his live performances and even watch the reactors reacting to all of his music. You’d be blown away 🤯.

[@tracietrott]

You neeeeeeeed to hear him sing live ….Melbourne symphony orchestra . He can sing anything anytime ❤

[@waynemcgrath2033]

This song made me want to recommend Raise a little hell by Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band. And and this song goes off at pubs over here in Australia, it typically becomes a group effort by everybody with a few drinks in them.

[@winsomeblandford1076]

Thank you for reacting to John. As everyone here knows always listen to live performances so you get the full Farnham effect cheers🎉

[@missglittertron]

He's a national treasure! And he's pretty hilarious. He was on Hey Hey It's Saturday a bunch of times. Him and Barnsy are the BEST

[@Rangatology]

If you want to hear sheer vocal brilliance, John Farnham’s live cover of “Help” & “Amazing Grace” are must listens.

[@kimgration9318]

John is AMAZING....The song is about loosing our sons and daughters in war. We are the Voice to stop wars if we all stand together...You NEED to listen to him live. AMAZING...listen to him sing HELP....

[@blueenglishstaffybreeder6956]

The live version with the Melbourne symphony orchestra is killer, the dude on the bagpipes I. That concert kills it, look up the same concert with him singing his version of the Beatles HELP, phenomenal

[@tammyfinnemore]

Welcome to one of our Aussie legends...love John

[@dazc1069]

Another great reaction. John is a national treasure and ‘the Voice’ is our unofficial anyhem. Amazing voice and even better live. A highly recommend a live review

[@Heather-x3m]

I think the message is that we all have a voice to protest the injustice of the day... "We're not going to sit in silence, we're not going to live in fear". So understand that no matter where our ideological views land we don't have to be on opposite sides of the things that are wrong!

[@HarKer77]

Always listen to John Farnham live! No comparison ❤

[@lynnryan8881]

Only every do his live performances the energy will blow you away.

[@MarkCockerill-r9t]

For something completely different listen to John Farnham singing Led Zeppelin black dog. There’s no video just audio as this is a warmup song for him and the band before a gig. Believe me it’s totally worth it.

[@eileencollins2536]

Live. Always listen to John live. ❤

[@kethlyfallon5095]

Keep exploring try and see this live thanks for checking out our legend John ❤❤❤

[@robbiles]

Farnsey is a rabbit hole you must go down. Just make sure you watch his live concert versions.

[@KittyKorner]

Great reaction! John did a version of the Beatles song “help” that makes people cry… Australian nostalgia at its finest. If you are interested, the live version with the Melbourne symphony orchestra is the best! Love your channel!!

[@primategaberocco]

John was born with pipes that shoot out flames. 🍻

[@user-xg6jw7mp5e]

Thanks for reacting to an Australian legend! Hello from Sydney Australia.

[@maryhanrahan]

Always live - John is a performer. Try Jimmy Barnes with John Farhnam 'when somethings wrong with my baby' - two amazing voices - My favorite songs by John are 'Burn for You' and 'Angels' live 2000

[@peterheath7960]

I love that you are so affectionate with your son.

[@Bobbygirl63]

John is the GOAT!! He can sing anything, and has an insane range to his voice. His live concerts are mind blowing. He always gives 110% of himself to his audiences in them. Please react to him singing 'Whan The War Is Over' live from the Whispering Jack concert, or 'Playing To Win' live from the Chain Reaction concert. Welcome to a rabbit hole that is deep and wide and totally amazing.

[@15uzu]

Krizz - you need to investigate the whole genre of "Aussie Pub Rock". A heap of bands & material you would not have necessarily been exposed to in the USA as it is very much a home grown Aussie genre which catered to the musical taste of Australia from the 70's through to the 90's. Many bands such as 1927, Johnny Diesel & The Injectors, Paul Kelly, Ice House, Midnight Oil, Cold Chisel (and Jimmy Barnes & Ian Moss' solo careers). There's so many songs & bands to cover you could devote one video a day/week and you'd be going for possibly 2 years minimum to even come close to scratching the surface. Would definitely be one for your boys to be involved with. Subbed now. \m/

[@JulieDagg-v7m]

He is our Aussie legend. This is a protest song he recorded.

[@jasonhutcherson6224]

❤ your vibe and open realness Krizz. At least you im guessing met or saw them Live. He was crying out. Just somehow we missed it. And really it was Losing his BFF/Brother from another mother Chris Cornell 😢. We lost Chester the day Chris Cornell Passed. He tried to stay with us just couldn't without Chris. May they RIParadise with each other.

[@donnabost4445]

No diss---just a FYI---always do the live versions of John Farmham if possible----What he does with the Melbourne Sympathy orchestra (MSO) is "phenomenal" there's no one like him---only one close would be Steve Perry from Journey------Check out John's cover "help" (beatles") with the MSO-----

[@barnowl.]

Please . . . only and always see and hear Australian John Farnham, the GOAT of singing, LIVE and in concert where his Soul shines ! John has wonderful charisma and energy. He is a consummate showman with a gymnastic, big, vocal range. He sings in over TWENTY genres John's had a career spanning five decades with top singles and best selling record albums in every one. The American music machine didn't know what to do with John because of his versatility and John preferred not to tour outside of Australia too much because he missed his family.

[@happydictator2523]

This is a protest song against violence and war.. In 2002, 25,000 people, myself and family included, walked through the city singing this song in protest against Australia following America into Iraq. It's fundamentally saying that regardless of who we are and where we come from, we are all someone's daughter or someone's son, and we need to recognise and treat everyone in that way so we can achieve peace.

[@Beckaboo3397]

Live is always better with John. This and Help from the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra concert are both a must listen.

[@Roki959]

Great reaction mate. But if you want to hear Australia’s BEST musics/vocalist then you need to check out Jimmy Barnes and his band Cold Chisel. Bow River live 2003 or Wild Thing cover live.

[@carolynh8866]

John Farnham is as big as it get in Australia. More loved than anyone. His fans are called the Farnsey Army. Checknout some of hos live performances. So much better than studio stuff.

[@JulieDagg-v7m]

You gotta watch his live performance with the Melbourne Symphony orchestra. Farnsey is our Aussie legend. He is now 75 years old and recovering from mouth cancer. Sadly he’s probably wont be singing again

[@robertzoomer9886]

War mate is what he is singing about.

[@nicolegardner8193]

Please listen to him live with the aong Help

[@beresfordthompson1370]

LIVE! Always do John live, he’s awesome studio but he’s supernatural live, he’s the greatest male vocalist of all time. And yes the lead guitarist(Brett Garsed), who is amazing was known as Brett Rambo Garsed. He talking about all people loving each other, not looking down the barrel of a gun like in war, and we all have a voice so stand up for ourselves etc.

[@chriscox8547]

In Australia, you had to perform live, serve an apprenticeship. John can sing any genre, of music. I will paste a few links, make your life easier.

[@LilmannReacts]

I been reacting to him

[@genie674]

Age of reason is another great song by John.

[@coreenavenn4235]

It's an anti nuclear war anthem John had a near 3 octave range. He has sung gravelly soul to opra. Hes performed with Ray Charles, Celine Dion, Tom Jones & Olivia Newton John. He was embarrassed by the praise he got from Sammy Davis Jr Listen to him live with Jimmy Barnes singing When Something Is Wrong With My Baby

[@ambremanifold6549]

This song Is a protest song

[@tessasnow]

Please try His version of the Beatles tune Help live with the Melbourne Orchestra…you can thank me later🖖🏻🇨🇦

[@davidbradshaw2293]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@macca4759]

The start of the video clip hints to what John is singing about 🤔 He is speaking about war and how we are all someones daughter and some ones son how long will look at each other down the barrel of a gun🤔😳

[@bella-xp7qd]

Yea. You're listening to a true legend. Should always do live performances as they are a show in themselves. Help, Burn For You, It’s A Long Way To The Top, When The War Is Over, Black Dog (Led Zeppelin cover), duet with another Aussie legend Jimmy Barnes When Something Is Wrong With My Baby. Tom Jones, Céline Dion, Ray Charles, Olivia Newton John. He doesn't have a bad song. Just a few to get you started.

[@starlord6152]

This song is a protest against war. A call for peace ❤

[@gouldie3636]

you should listen to "When something is wrong with my baby" with jimmy Barnes.. 2 of the best we have produced

[@MikeHonncho]

"How long can we look at each other down the barrel of a gun"- is sayn war is fukd dude 😂

[@MikeSkinner-x8f]

You NEED to se his live performances! This song and his version of the Beatles Help is mind blowing (google John Farnham & the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra) 👍🏻

[@oldboyswok]

Not a live versian ? Sorry mate will be back next time.. ALL Aussies should be done live, they got nothing to hide :)

[@jeffwilson7100]

Only do John Farnham live.

[@gavii71]

Live performances are a hundred percent better than the music video’s! My personal favourite is You’re The Voice from the Chain Reaction concert!

[@bellejazz]

The song is a protest about war and the futility of the stupid things that divide us. It’s a cry for unity asking us to recognise our shared humanity since “we’re all someone’s daughter, we’re all someone’s so, instead of being driven by our differences; tribes, religion, political affiliation, gender etc. “We have the chance to turn the pages over”, use our voices, our vote - our power and create a better future. And we need to stop the dehumanising of others because that’s what leads to hatred and violence and ultimately viewing others “down the barrel of a gun”.

[@kathybaker3136]

Now watch it again LIVE!! ALWAYS do JF LIVE!!! He comes to life when he performs in front of an audience. This song live is one of the best and loudest ever!! Every Australian no matter what age they are, can sing every word. And while you're at it, watch him sing Help with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Old Beatles number sung how it should have been sung. Have fun with this man. He will never disappoint.

[@Maureen-g2c]

Most Americans have never heard of him because when he attempted breaking into the USA scene they tried to pigeon hole him, but because he can sing about 20 genres they didn't know what to make of him. He has been around in Australia since 1967 with his first number one hit. He has had hits in every decade since. He last performed in 2019 and still sounded fantastic at 70 years old. Then covid hit the world. In 2022 he was diagnosed with Oral Cancer, underwent a 12 hour surgery, is now cancer free, but unfortunately due to jaw flexibility may never sing professionally again. I'm glad you enjoyed John's singing.

[@crazybyproxy]

I've heard this song, had no idea who did it.

[@guccigasbag2780]

I think most people have but don’t know the who sang it. John Farnham is an Australian living legend. Another Australian living legend to look at is Jimmy Barnes. Look up John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes song, 🎶 when something is wrong with my baby🎶 live at the ARIA awards. (The Australian Recording Industry Awards) the guitarist in that song is Johnny Diesel or Diesel aka Mark Lizotte. He’s also Jimmy Barnes brother in law. 😂

[@tjaartvanderwalt5864]

Down the barrel of a gun?Think about Russia and Ukraine.Or the stuff going on with Israel.A lot of stuff that can be avoided with a little bit of love and understanding.
