Vocal Coach REACTION & ANALYSIS 🎧 John Farnham 🎙️ Help (LIVE) 🎶

[@rodneycampbell2964]

I’m the same age as John, I lost touch with his music during my adult life, I did buy the Whispering Jack tape, played it mostly during the drive back and forwards to work. My beautiful wife passed recently and I was so deeply lost, I brought a IPad and found Johns music again. I found listening to his music and his voice touched me so deeply, I found listening to him help me get through those hard times,The first thing I do every morning is listen to his songs, I get this feeling of joy and peacefulness that I can’t even describe. ❤️

[@SuzyTrippa]

Rodney me too! I was my Mums fulltime carer and when l lost her this song was everything to me, my Mum adored him too! Blessings to you! ❤

[@kayethomas7863]

Me too. Thank god for utube. I actually purchased the DVD of the Concert at the Melbourne Tennis centre with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and his Full House Cd so really enjoying his music. ❤❤

[@tonyb4115]

Totally get it, he is so much a part of our lives, so sorry about your loss. Sending just lots of positive energy and hope that you stay well and strong.

[@lyndoherty8081]

I get it t00. I play him every day over and over and yes u tube is great especially podcasters, who have never seen or heard of him before, and their shock and then their high praise for him. I love him, he's the voice our voice ❤❤❤

[@dkb013]

Aussie here who has watched a lot of reactions to John, particularly singing Help. I can't tell you how wonderful it was to watch a fellow Australian do this. I was so emotional watching you. It's such a joy to see someone talk about John and express how we all feel. What a beautiful man and gift we have in him. Thank you so much! ❤

[@carolynh8866]

So glad to see a fellow Aussie react to John Farnham. He has become a regular on many international reactors channels over the last couple of years. It's great to see that he is finally getting the recognition out side of Australia now ( for more than just You're the Voice. ) So its a refreshing change to watch someone, with musical knowledge, who has had Farnsey as part of their life growing up, react. Only someone who has seen John live can really understand the power of his voice and the magnitude of his magnetic personality. I was fortunate enough to have been around during his teen pop idol years as well. So I have experienced him singing live from when I was still only 8 or 9 years old and truly beleive John is not just the best in Australia but one of the best the world has ever seen. With his flawless voice, huge vocal range, multi genre repertoire, charismatic personality, philanthropy, longevity, and all round regular bloke and good guy reputation, he has sustained a career full of number 1 hits over 6 consecutive decades... 7 decades of charting hits, if you count the most recent album released to support the docu movie about his life.. Thanks for taking the time to react to our Aussie Legend. Hopefully you will react to him again ...❤

[@Constantijn09]

John Farnham's voice is a the 8th wonder of the world, as he can sing anything from Rock to Soul and anything in between.

[@karenstrong8887]

That is our Legend. I watched Celine Dion tell John she was his number one fan. Then they both went all fan over each other. John still gets surprised when famous people know him. I wonder what he thinks he is? Thank you.

[@AussieDebb]

THE VOICE THE G.O.A.T. Loveable Aussie Larrikin - THE Master of comedy and performing any genre ❤

[@TheChristOfRockNRoll]

John Farnham is no larrikin. Definition of larrikin: a boisterous, often badly behaved young man but good hearted in nature. A person with apparent disregard for convention; a maverick. Jimmy Barnes is more fitting as a larrikin well at least in his younger years at the height of Cold Chisel but he has mellowed out. John Farnham is plain and simple a nice boy! Almost nerdy by rock n roll standards (monogamous married to one woman since 1973 with no affairs, family man, loyal, kind, polite, rarely ever swears, no drugs, not an alcoholic etc etc). Now Jimmy is (or was) another story. The Christ of Rock N Roll knows what he's talkin about. Been to jail twice and going again for the third time sometime soon. 🤣🤣🤣

[@leelee2350]

I saw another vocal coach react to this and she said he is a master class in mouth shapes for singing.

[@beresfordthompson1370]

John’s version of “help”(Beatles song originally), but done John’s way. John’s voice has stood the test of time, I think John is the greatest male vocalist of all time. Endless range, such emotion and passion in his voice, mic control is second to none. He is an epic performer, he is there for the love, the music, his fellow band members and the fans. John very regularly throws the mic stand meters in the air and catches it while still performing. John’s breath control is the best I’ve seen, most singers you can hear when they take a breath but with John there’s nothing, it’s like one breath throughout the entire song, every song. And yes most singers with such powerful voices, blow their voices out but John into his 70’s, his voice was still there. And I think John sounds even better live than studio, no auto tune, no ten takes, just nails it first time, every time. John has also covered most genres of music, even opera(with Anthony Warlow). He isn’t just a legend, he’s the legend. Awesome reaction to our John. And I believe the last of a few encores during this concert was John’s magnificent cover of AC/DC’s “it’s a long way to the top if you rock n roll” and yes please do more John.

[@Rob_D74]

This was the encore. There was one more encore where he sung Sadie.

[@devilsadvocate2548]

Yep. So many people think this was the last song of the night for this concert when it really wasn't. Sadie and It's a Long Way to the Top was the encore that closed that night.

[@raelenewilliams2763]

I love how much you obviously enjoyed watching this video, as I did. Thanks for reacting to my all time favourite singer ❤

[@DrDanRobinson]

My pleasure 😊

[@jobydogwhisperer4163]

I wish we had KZbin in 89. He is by far one of the best singers on the planet. I was in Australia in 89 and would have died to see him.

[@margieguild519]

Me too! He is an absolute legend - and deserves to be!

[@cathysnider8717]

Loved that Dr. Daniel Robinson. I’m not familiar with John Farnham nor have I heard Help sung like that. I absolutely love both. I’m enjoying being introduced to such fabulous singers in your analysis videos.

[@kathc349]

Used to go to Mordialloc Roller skate rink twice a week, John Farnham, Angels, Split Enz, AC/DC all were the soundtrack of those memories

[@Deb_Bee_Thriver]

Yes,Thank you for sharing this clip and your appreciation of the Phenomenal John Farnham! His music continues to lift my Spirits each and every day. I Alway have and always will love and be so grateful for John Farnham's awesome music, as well as his amazing band! .xoxo

[@G.H.O.S.T.254]

Don't forget back then when concerts were a sell out, and these concerts were a couple of them, they Broadcasted them live on national free TV and synced them with one of the radio stations (I forget which one now, probably Triple M). So that everyone got to watch the concert from their own home on their TV's, mute the volume and tune in the radio station to use their big home stereo systems to get the maximum impact of sound quality.

[@dkb013]

YEEESSSS! I remember watching the Whispering Jack concert while on highschool camp. All of us year 8 kids huddled around a tv to watch him. One of my favourite memories!

[@G.H.O.S.T.254]

@@dkb013 I remember because my mother went to it and i had my grandmother looking after me. She let me watch the concert nearly all night and we watched like hawks to see if i could see my mother in the crowd.

[@lopeetoom01]

This was his second encore at the end of the concert. At the end he thanks the public and wishes them a save trip home.

[@kerrypapworth1526]

We sure do love John here in Australia. I have seen him live many times over the years - truly remarkable 💕

[@georgeibrahim7945]

To me he is the GOAT. Thanks heaps for the reaction

[@mrmockatoo6786]

George, I've got a goat called Farnsey. He can't sing but he bleats around the bush.

[@justlinsu]

I snuck out and my friend and I went to one of his Whispering Jack concerts lol. I swear even though I was sitting about 10 rows back John looked over at 'me' and waved lol. That's how he made one feel 'as if he was singing only to them even in the back row' I'm sure. Like your reaction except for you stopping mid way through a 'note' pausing is a must I know but please chose an appropriate time... Hi from another Aussie.

[@Bellas1717]

But also how clever that he encourages the audience to 'Help' him...

[@briangill4000]

OK, I'm interested. I might check out some of your other stuff. John is the GOAT! That's it, nothing more to say.

[@SuzyTrippa]

Fancy seeing you here

[@wooyulan]

Thank you for a very enjoyable and informative video Dr Dan! Bit of a nostalgia trip for us teens of the 80s too😊 Not only a one of a kind voice and performer, John Farnham is 100% truly down to earth , humble and a great bloke!

[@DrDanRobinson]

So true!

[@FionaEm]

Fellow Aussie and Gen Xer here 😊 I always knew John's voice was incredible, but the plethora of reaction videos in recent years has reminded me just how lucky we were to have him as a performer for all those years. Good to see an Australian musician reacting to his brilliance. Would like to see you react to John's Gethsemane scene in Jesus Christ Superstar. Astounding vocals; powerful and deeply emotional 😊

[@mattallen2801]

Another cover John does at this very concert and it's actually right before this song is AC/DC's It's a Long Way to the Top if You Want to Rock and Roll, cheers

[@devilsadvocate2548]

Not quite. For this very concert, It's a Long Way to the Top is in the encore after Help. He came out again after this to sing Sadie and then ends the night with the AC-DC classic.

[@winneryeahmate]

You're the voice !!! ❤

[@mikeparkes7922]

Last song of the 3rd encore of a 2 1/5 hour concert. Brilliant. A lot of people stayed outside for 1-2 hours just to give him a cheer and round of applause as he left. He shouted 2 words back..."Thank YOU".

[@martintucker187]

Gotta support a local.😉🤘

[@narellesmith7932]

Just found my black sparkly top I wore to this concert!!!what to do with it 🎉 so many memories ❤thanks

[@devi_-]

I'd love to know what you think gives John such an exceptional voice? I feel like he has or accesses some kind of resonance that's just not normal 😂 i know there are lots of other elements but his voice and range just seem like something else

[@SuzyTrippa]

This song always moves me to tears! Was my go to song when l lost my Mum

[@kethlyfallon5095]

No doubt about it he is a legend

[@CoolCoyote]

i love john as a kiwi, great voice. I feel he hasnt had the chance still to show off his voice, some great songs of course, but he has a power voice.

[@cindyhobson3084]

He's so good - us Aussies have always known his talent :-) Sad about the cancer and good to see him recovering well. ive seen him live and hes brilliant

[@ceceliakrieg5824]

Hi Dr. Dan. Have you seen Elizabeth of The Charismatic Voice do a reaction to John. She knew nothing of him and was amazed at his skill and talent. It is really worth watching. It just made me a very proud Aussie.

[@MargaretGuppy]

Angels LIVE 2000 is an amazing performance by John and Lisa Edwards, one of his long time backup singers; they harmonize so well together!

[@DrDanRobinson]

Angels LIVE 2000 really showcases the extraordinary synergy between John and Lisa Edwards. Their harmonies are truly exceptional, creating such a powerful and captivating performance. Their musical chemistry is truly something to marvel at!

[@jayweb51]

My teenage years were in the 60's, and I first heard Johnny Farnham when he released Sadie in 1967; saw Johnny Farnham and Alison Durbin in concert at South Sydney Leagues Club in the 70's, and saw John Farnham's Whispering Jack concert in Adelaide 1986.

[@DrDanRobinson]

Poor John. People will never let him forget his Johnny years. LOL

[@ChrisFirth-do2sm]

@@DrDanRobinson he sang a set on a Jamie redfern concert at festival hall. The cover of Yesterday was brilliant.

[@alyn927]

Lov love love JF. I am a70ish fellow Aussie and watch all reactions to John and sometimes more than once. My favourites (I keep saying that but they keep changing every time I hear him) are: When the war is over (in his 50s) It’s a long way to the top, please don’t ask me (with ONJ) oh and Angels Thankyou for this reaction and good luck with your channel

[@donellefeltham]

Not only has he got the audience in the palm of his hand,he’s also playing with the keyboard player. That’s how good he is.🇦🇺😘

[@gamortie]

You’re The Voice from the same concert has a great example of John yeeting his stand around

[@johnfarnhamexperience]

Bloody awesome vid Dan, and finally mate, I've been waiting for you to get to Farnham for ages mate, as in the last couple of years, people from around the world have finally been getting their taste of John... all the reaction reviews on his songs from his 50 year plus career... and while it never too late, such a pity that the world didn't get to hear and see him much sooner than in the last couple of years... but this version of 'Help, this particular vid is the pinnacle Farnham, and it's the number one reviewed and reacted too vid... and for bloody good reason too... you just don't get any better than that... so I'm so glad, you're finally doing this vid mate... and a man of your calibre and expertise adds to the weight behind what you say... and you nailed it with Farnham is an exception to the rule... there's only one John, and he is simply masterclass... last year marked my 20 year anniversary of my Farnham tribute that I do for the legend and his fans... and I'm a baritone with a tenor top, so I know fully well the demand on the voice when you do a Farnham tribute show fully... and song placement is a must... and only Farnham can do a song like 'Help' the last song of the night, cause only he can pull it off like he does and just the best ever... when I do 'Help' and 'You're The Voice' they're about 10 songs in, or the middle of the setlist, certainly not last... but doing Farnham you certainly need to be fit and have your vocal endurance to do him and his songs justice... as a vocalist, John is the hardest task ever, and the best challenge ever, and thankfully after 20 years of doing the show, I'm still at it mate, so I'm obviously doing something right... and lessons and teachers are the key doing this sort of show... all up in my 30 year career as a singer I've had 5 singing teachers and also lots of research and discilpline to keep the voice looked after and fine tuned and I'm thankfull for it... Anyway, so glad to you finally did this vid mate... well done, and as always, keep the great work up...

I may have been at that concert, or one of his other ones at Rod LaverArena with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra but I am as taken aback by John as you are.Thanks for your great vocal review. x Aunty Linda.

im 40 this year and i have records from the 80s and 90s i grew up with! Vinyl, Cassette, CD and rare Creative 5.1 DVD Audio. i sang in school as a kid to 2002. now i do voice acting

[@justjj4319]

:) No words, just appreciation. Thank you.

[@Rassskle]

Hi Doc As an Aussie i thought you might recognise the vocal run of the last "HELP " at the end ? He reproduces the vocal start to J O'Ks version of SHOUT.......except Shout starts with WE E LLL. !!!! and not Help. lol

[@BumbleBee666-u5t]

I love your reaction, thank you.

[@Kazeemi2810]

Gday from Adelaide! Yes the sounds of my youth, too 😎. Have to say I do appreciate him more now than I did then… 🌻🌻 You’re the Voice or It’s a Long Way to the Top from this concert, or Guy Sebastian Standing With You performance on the Voice 😎

[@debmccleary9571]

Brilliant reaction!

[@robcork2620]

Please listen to "Your the Voice" live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra...........you will love it.

[@dalewyatt1321]

Many singers take half an hour to get to higher notes. John goes BANG, nailed it. David's jacket would not look out of place on the cover of Abbey Road and I STILL want it.

[@simonhjc]

My mum sang with John. Just saying. As far as technique- how he positions his head, rather like joan sutherland to allow maximum volume as if he is singing to the back rafters. His diaphragm control is out of the world and his ability toncontrol his vocal chord inspan to create a rasp or tonreach a note is incredible. I bet, at the end of a concert he would have near to zero fatigue as a result of perfect technique

[@jemxs]

Great insights and behind the scenes info!

[@CoolCoyote]

could have done Opera singing? seems like to me.

[@wesleygalvin9983]

I first remember seeing John sing his version of Help on TV during a Royal Charity Concert at the Sydney Opera House before the Queen and Prince Philip in 1980. The concert also featured Olivia Newton John singing Don't Cry For Me Argentina and Peter Allen with his iconic, I Still Call Australia Home. This is how the song should always have been sung to give its true meaning, and was later copied and released by Tina Turner on her 1984 album Private Dancer.

[@coreenavenn4235]

Fabulous for the members of the MSO. More fun than Bach I reckon

[@errol-ih4jy]

THEYRE IS A GUY IN THE UK THAT HAS THAT RANGE, HE SINGS ALL SORTS OF SONGS, AND CAN SING DOWNSTAIRS ASWELL AS THIS KEY, HIS NAME IS ADRIAN PARIS.

[@briangill4000]

Thx Errol I will check him out.

[@briangill4000]

Hey Errol, checked out Adrian and he has a nice voice. I could only find 1 home video of him so that's not a lot to go on. With that in mind have you heard John sing Black Dog? or Gethsemane, Granada, when the war is over, a long way to the top with Sir Tom Jones, Georga with Ray Charles or heard Robbie Williams praise him and sing his song out of respect. If you haven't.. No worries, lots of people outside of Australia haven't heard of him. Do yourself a favor and check some of them out. Peace brother!

[@ianmontgomery7534]

Lisa was also in a band called Short Circuit with trevor Courtney and Roger McLachlan. They deserved to do better than they did.

[@neilstrang8855]

Check out Jack Jones of Southern Sons band compared to John Farnham’s voice

[@trancepower1205]

This might be a big call to some but I honestly think John's voice is better than Freddies back then.

[@lolly_6184]

Can you please react to When the War is over, the last time concert i think in 2000... 🎉

[@Thatgirl1965]

Don't be ashamed of your age! Be PROUD! I am 59, and I grew up rollerskating in my late childhood/early teens. I just wish I'd known about John Farnham back in the day! Thanks to the Celine Dion documentary, where she shared this video and how he inspired her with his powerful performances. I was hooked instantly. I have two live performances you might like to critique. Thank you for making this video. Really appreciate someone with musical and vocal abilities. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5eok2yJl5t6m5osi=E_4c-giJf-oOOO9n (Aretha Franklin's awesome tribute to Carole King: Kennedy Center Honors 2015); and kzbin.info/www/bejne/moG9p4d3aqeUm5osi=MSh5-qL64mwBT_Il (God Turn Me Into a Flower” - Weyes Blood (LIVE on The Late Show))

[@garryamey2401]

John is one of the best, I've seen him a few times in Port Douglas with Glenn, but never approached him. It's not what we do here and it's why the big names keep coming back. All that aside.. how about what I think is almost his best performance ever... kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJ6VnpJvis6dqdE
