IF John never sings again, it makes me sad..... not for me or his fans, but for HIM. He so obviously enjoys singing, you can't fake the pleasure on his face, the way he closes his eyes.... singing for John is like breathing for you and I. I wish John nothing but good health and happiness, and hopefully he can manage a tune again, only for himself :) Love you JF, you have given us fans quality music for so long, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts ❤❤

[@magpiegirl3783]

Lovely.

[@TheThamesmen]

Hi Dragon. Very nicely said and lots of love and hugs from this community.

[@donnam5891]

What Dragon said!

[@justlinsu]

💓💓💓💓

[@ThatGuy-bp4gz]

This is one of those comments which puts into words what so many of us feel. Just beautifully expressed.

[@julzhunt7790]

Farnsey… who EVERY human being should aspire to be like. Bloody legend. Get well John. Australia loves ya❤️🇦🇺

[@beresfordthompson1370]

This is in my opinion the best version of this song, by anyone. Even here with John a bit older his voice is still pristine. With all the belting he’s done throughout his career he never blew his voice out unlike so many great singers. He is definitely the greatest male vocalist of all time. And Brett Garsed on guitar is epic.

[@barnowl5774]

In an interview John commented that he thoroughly enjoyed long periods of singing in the shower very much, experimenting with his voice. He recorded 'The Acoustic Chapel Sessions' Live album. John watched the 2022 Australian Football League Finals pre game concert in Melbourne from his hospital bed. Robbie Williams was the main guest singer and payed tribute to John by singing 'Your The Voice' with John on the big screen and with the footy fans. Apparently it took John to tears. Keep getting well, John. We love you.

[@DebraBing]

I remember that interview, he said he experimented with his voice in the shower, doing things he never would have been game to have tried on stage.

[@TheThamesmen]

That's so great Barnowl. Thank you for being here and leaving your comment.

[@barnowl5774]

Oops, I meant 'YOU'RE The Voice.' - Barnowl

[@glennthomson350]

The best indication of the value of John as a human person is that after a performance like that the first words out of his mouth were of congratulation to the guitar player.

[@TheThamesmen]

Thanks for supporting us, and more Aussie music soon!!

[@jennygavrilovic7415]

I absolutely mean NO DISRESPECT to Cold Chisel, but this is my favourite version ever of When The War Is Over. This is what I have been raving about! He Simply is THE G.O.A.T!!!! 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗 the reaction guys. John is a POWERHOUSE VOICE!!!

[@magpiegirl3783]

Agree!

[@charki40]

Congrats on the Award. Remember its a Global comparison . No small matter. We 'mature' crowd are out there in the world. Well done.

[@shenoashbay1361]

John Farnham is doing well , out-of-hospital weeks finished the first part of his rehab slot earlier than expected , he's now in his 70,s and even if you didn't sing again he's left a legacy with all the other songs he has sung , that will live on forever . I've heard worldwide singers who are renowned singers who can't even touch this man's voice . John is revered over here in Australia and loved by all , great man ,humble a bit of joker at times but how do you interrupt GREATNESS , and this is what we are talking about when it comes to John Farnham's voice. 💕

[@michaelparry2262]

I’m thinking you guys should do a Chisel week and a Farnham week. It is true that a lot of Australia’s great artists are UK immigrants when they were young, but the culture over here is what gave them the unique sounds that are Aussie.

[@melindatanner5853]

Great idea for Cold Chisel and John Farnham to have their own independent week, both absolutely deserve it as do other Aussie bands (and audience) who continual get put on the back burner as these two take the time and space away ... 💚💗💚💗 and much much respect but let's start to make space for exposure to other artists!!!!

[@Cubesy73]

Known as "£10 poms" as the Aust Govt had an assisted passage scheme after WWII where the fare to a new life in Australia was £10 for adults and free for kids.

[@Broxin7]

I like how you guys just let it play then discuss it afterwards. New subscriber.

[@TheThamesmen]

Also Steve - You know why we let it play? So the musician takes 100% of any YT money. Those breaking it up are trying to monetize - Its their music and money. Not ours plus who.... who wants it broken up? Be well and welcome

[@shaz464]

We are all praying for John and his family ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@TheThamesmen]

Thanks Shaz. we all are.

[@graemejohnson9025]

beats the autotune crap, that comes out of america, and england, um nup... Unfortunately John Won't sing again..

[@AngelaWalters-xr5wx]

Notice in every song he sings his diction is so perfect and clean

[@mikeschenk4730]

I made the comment about Carole King that every now and then a person does the thing they were absolutely meant to do. John Farnham was born to sing. The fact that he made a career out of it is incredible for him and anyone with ears.

[@TheThamesmen]

Yup exactly right

[@alwaysthewtite1]

Iconic Aussie Singer singing an iconic Aussie song 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@jeffwilson7100]

See him standing watching Chong play the intro on the piano. It’s the love and respect he has for his band that motivates that

[@louisekindred0059]

John is from a breed of a selected artists that has clear diction in every word he sings. He pronunciates his words so superbly whether he sings softly or with great passion.. he owns the title " The Voice." We all wish him well and you guy's are right he does deserve to sit back now and let his music speak for itself. Thanks to you Reactor's a new generation of overseas fan's can appreciate him like we have been doing for decades ❤

[@andrewcameron1346]

The rest of the world really missed out on one of the all time great voices. We Ozzies just took him for granted. Interesting little clip from a TV show called Hey Hey it’s Saturday where Farnham sings acapella with Tom Jones. Farnsy and Barnsy also did the best version of When Something is wrong with my Baby on Hey Hey

[@dylanking1895]

Funny story, I grew up just down the road from John Farnham, my father used to see him on a Saturday morning down at the local milk bar picking up a carton of smokes still half cut from the night befores concert, always friendly and loved taking off foot to the floor in his Porsche 911. True old school Aussie bloke, just down to live life on his terms!

[@magpiegirl3783]

THAT is a performance and HE is a performer. Thank you for honouring this performance by allowing it to play uninterrupted. He's had so many, but I think this is his best live performance ever. It isn't just the range, it's the passion. He sings with his body, his heart, his soul. The guitar was superb. Wonderful John. Best wishes for your continued recovery.

[@mssuziquzi]

John was around 54 here, and still knocking it out of the ball park. He was singing with Queen not that long back to raise money for bush fire relief. This is why we love him so much here in Australia. Get well soon Farnsey.❤

[@pennystreet8183]

I hope you play his “your the voice “ that he did 3 years ago. At the age of 70. I can’t believe we’re the years have gone. I can’t believe how many years John has entertained us for. My memory’s are mixed in with hearing his songs. We love you John. 💕

[@paulygone563]

Some call him Farnsey, however this Aussie (and many many others) still refer to JF with his rightful title: "The Voice" A great acoustic 'tender' song would have to be - Burn for you. It's butter.

[@neridahicks7160]

My son graduated the other week and they played “Playing to Win” when the kids walked in I almost hyperventilated I was so happy with the music choice 😂. God bless John he has brought so much joy to us Aussies ❤

[@jayjayjase9796]

I have a renewed respect for John due to watching you guys hearing him for the first time. He has been around my whole life so i guess i kind of just got used to him and took him for granted.

[@ThatGuy-bp4gz]

"...all around is chaos and madness..." never truer words sung. Thanks for bringing a ray of happiness into this crazy world gentlemen.

[@stevenhopwood8195]

I can remember his first single, released in 1967, Sadie the Cleaning Lady. Little did I know he would go on to dominate the Australian music industry for over 50 years. ❤️🤘🎸🇦🇺

[@FionaEm]

Farnham was in his 50s when he did this. Vocals still phenomenal! The guy is almost operatic at times; but just as comfortable singing rock, jazz or blues. He could sing the proverbial phone book and turn it into a masterpiece 🙌 We've been lucky to have him for so long.

[@trevorhanlon6755]

I thought he was in his late 60 then my bad

[@TheThamesmen]

I'm in my 50;s and all I can do is Grumble

[@FionaEm]

@@TheThamesmen That makes two of us 😅

[@carolynh8866]

You're so right, if he never sings again, he has definately done enough. For his fans anyway but I just hope he can still sing for his own sake as he loves/lives to sing. All due respect to Cold Chisel but this is still my favourite version of this song. Farnsey just breaths so much life into it. I feel a Farnsey week coming on.

[@thesolitaryadventurer]

Not sure I've ever witnessed a male vocalist in popular music have such a range and be able to hit it with so much force. His voice doesn't have the density of say Tom Jones or richness of Elvis. And there is a wider range in Prince. And more nuanced highs from say Steve Perry... But it isn't about comparisons. It is about looking at a vocalist who is stellar and admiring the peformance. Brilliant vocal. Wonderful singer.

[@johnsmith-ub7vr]

The amazing thing about John Farnham is you very rarely hear him hit a bad note just an incredible singer.

[@craigalden9416]

John did do An Acoustic album…. The Acoustic Chapel Sessions…. Two of my favourite ballads from him are early…. Comic Conversations…. And latter Please Don’t Ask Me…. I’ve seen John a few times….. A truly great Aussie singer.

[@helenespaulding7562]

Howdy gents! Farnham keeps blowing my mind. Effing unbelievable Only other pop/rock singer in this vocal range that I know of is Steve Perry.

[@Dr_KAP]

RIP Steve Preswitch, who wrote this incredible song.

Anyone in doubt about John's nationality just needs to hear him speak. He's as Aussie as it gets, lol. I hope you get to see/hear his performance of 'Please don't ask Me' with Olivia Newton John. Just mind boggling, I feared for her eardrums at one point. Great reaction guys, as usual. ❤

[@adamannesley5794]

Your dead inside if this performance doesn’t move you! Australia loves John and always has and we all hope and wish to see your happy smiling face again soon.

Umm it’s good but the one that stands out for me is the one he does in the Whisper Jack concert it just phenomenal 😊👍

[@lencooke944]

Thanks for making me watch this video again; really, I do appreciate that. I am very familiar with John Chisel singing this song, and this particular performance as well. So much so that I will often not click on the link when it comes up in my KZbin feed. That's the problem sometimes when you are so spoiled and so fortunate to have enjoyed John Farnham for so long, that you forget just how truly special his talent is. Sadly, sometimes I am no longer surprised by the enormity of John's voice, it's just ordinary for him. It's what we expect from him. Kind of: "yeah, yeah, we know ... John bloody Farnham monstering another song". And then, someone or something makes you click on the link and watch the song again and you become transfixed and mesmerized, and when the song ends you realize you are sitting there with tears in the corners of your eyes, wondering why the song isn't on high rotation on your play list. Thank you for giving me that moment again.

[@christhecurator]

That's the great thing about sharing music, when you get reminded of how good something is that you've forgotten about. The reappreciation that comes from someone's new appreciation. Great comment Len.

[@lencooke944]

@@christhecurator Thanks Chris, this was a great suggestion and brings back great memories.

[@Paul-pl6dl]

John is the master of the microphone learnt his chops in the sixties and early seventies and went from there so by the eighties he was a master of his craft and forty years later is still recognized the world over as The Voice even Tom Jones is a fan and friend who was John's idol when he was growing up John got his biggest thrill when he got to sing with Tom Jones on Hey Hey It's Saturday live he was so nervous it took him two goes to start singing the song they were singing

[@coreenavenn4235]

Consumate professional as a vocalist. The musos that play for him love him. He does a couple of performances without backing. Amazing Grace with Veneta Fields & Angels with Lisa Edwards

[@JAWs313]

Check out The Chapel Sessions by John. It was an entire album, a reworking/re recording of a bunch of his biggest hits, in this gorgeous old chapel in Melbourne or Adelaide, all acoustic and some of the songs completely re-written, such as a swing version of You're the Voice it's outstanding. The recording was all filmed for a dvd release to be bought alongside the cd if wanted and its brilliant. All available in youtube now of course.

[@brentonl1746]

Ladies and Gentlemen you have just listened to greatness.

[@dalewyatt1321]

I mentioned this when you watched Help. So glad it got on your list because (I think) this is simply brilliant. And he would do it again the next night. Amazing.

[@reneepope-munro8115]

This is in my top 3 Farnsey performances. His mastery of his instrument here is otherworldly.

[@nirvanaa5556]

Thank you for a beautiful reaction. From 9:53, the flashes of emotional pain and amazement on your faces were so touching. That's the perfection of John...at any age.

[@AussieDebb]

As John says the band make him look good.LOL!!!😊😊😊He loves them.❤

[@RolandDeschain1]

The Cold Chisel version of this is also incredible. Barnesy and Mossy... just unbeatable.

He was part of the Australian production of Jesus Christ Superstar, well worth a listen

Love John, speedy recovery John, all of Australia are thinking of you , best wishes 🙏❤, Aussie icon and ledgend of music and all round great guy, seen him in concert twice but if I could I would have seen every "show" he has done, his concerts are a show he is also very funny and engaging and his concerts will always be in my top 3 ever, Great reaction guys, love what you do!!👍❤

[@georgeibrahim7945]

Thanks for the great reaction boys. The more you listen to this legend the more addicted you get. Check him out “burn for you” if you want an acoustic performance

[@micheleallen]

His voice matured as he got older. He was still singing like that a few years ago before Covid. I think he did a session called The Acoustic Chapel Sessions at one time which is what you are talking about. Great reaction fellows.

[@jano9091]

‘Acoustic Chapel Sessions’ was recorded in 2011 (when he was 62).

Thanks Michele, we will go and check. More Aussie weeks soon so stayed tuned and thanks for your support!

Looking forward to hearing this - Might have to do another Aussie week!!!!

Your so right. The last time I seen John performing was November 2019 and he blew it out of the park. Such a great performer and such an inspiration to all around him. Wishing John and family all the best ❤

Do I sense a Farnham Week in the future? Now that would be mind-blowing! Get well Farnsey! 💕

[@waynedavenport6053]

Awesome idea, although he could fill a month!

[@TheThamesmen]

Fingers crossed!

[@785boats]

The beautiful thing with his concerts, was that he had a lot of interaction with his band members, as well as the audiences. He always payed due respect & appreciation to them. Unfortunately you cut out the banter at the start of this song. It is brilliant. There are some acoustic performances out there such as 'Angels', live 2000 with his backing singer Lisa, and 'Amazing Grace' with two other of his backing vocalists. Venetta & Lindsay. Superb. The note you make about his microphone technique is very apt. He had to learn that from a young age because his voice had such power & vocal distortion when he hit the big belts. He was a sound engineer's nightmare because he would swamp the input on the mixing desk.

[@markwaters3050]

I'll admit that John's music has not always been to my taste, but I've worked in live music and have seen John work... he has ever impressed me at his delivery and his ability to entertain. A consumate professional at all times, and an entertainer to the core.

[@hdmccart6735]

John Farnham just has to be one of the best singers in the bloody world ! He can just sing anything and take it and us to another level ! Plus what a heck of a nice guy, and spends most of his stage time between songs thanking everyone around him, making sure the people helping him are put into the spot light. I mean where does it stop ! What a voice and what a talent , but what a nice human ! I have watched this reaction and others to this song and its all the same ..... People like yourselves just sitting back in awe of this man wondering what he can't do ! Everyday hoping to hear that John is as fit and healthy as can be . I just keep saying every time i watch him , wow what more can he do, then i watch the next clip and say the same bloody thing lol ! John Farnham is simply The Voice ! Nuff said ! Cheers lads !

Every time I hear your into, it takes me back to being a kid, laying on the lounge here in Oz, and some of my fave British shows started on the with that on the TV. Possibly my fave Cold Chisel song and one of my all time faves. Written by the drummer Steve Prestwich (R.I.P.). EVERY member of the band wrote a hit song.. And the amazing, beautiful female backing singer at 9:05 is my drummer mate's SISTER! The amazingly talented Dannielle Gaha This song gives me "frisson", (goosebumps caused by music etc).. Only 15% of people get it, very over-represented in musicians, which isnt a surprise..

When I first meet John he had his head under my kitchen bench with a smoke hanging out of his mouth…. I shared a house in the late 80s with another very famous Australian singer (who shall remain nameless) and i came home from shopping at the supermarket to see this backside coming from under the sink making a racket with a spanner and banging the water pipes… when he popped his head out I got such a surprise… even in those days… he was a famous bloke…. all he first said was. blah blah called me and said your pipes where blocked and thought I’d come around and fix it for ya before my gig tonight…. just that sort of nice bloke… he’s in rehab hospital now after a mouth cancer op… family said he’s doing well… let hope!!! ❤

Listen to John sing Loves In Need, live. He doesn’t need music either. Thank you. John doesn’t think it is just him. He thanks everyone on the stage. He was a Plumbers Mate, I couldn’t picture him staying. John came here as a child like my husband did. I would run if I called either them a Pom. John had to very quickly I think in the 80’s become a Citizen because he was going to be awarded Australian of the year. I don’t think either of them even think they are not Australian.

To answer your question about if John's done an acoustic album... he sure has, back in 2011, and just like John, it's phenonemal... I've been watching you guys video after video for your reaction to the master legendary icon that is John Farnham... been amazing to watch you and hear what you have to say... and pretty much everyone is spot on with saying 'Help' with the MSO is the best intro to John, aside from "you're the voice", Help is 100% the quintessential introduction to John... and I always enjoy watching those reaction videos the most with that song and John's version, and your reactions were spot on... anyway, so glad that you guys discovered and experienced John Farnham... it just doesn't get any better than that man... anyway here's one of the many links (this is wikipedia's) that you can find out about that acoustic album... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Acoustic_Chapel_Sessions
