Andrew Warlow And John Farhnam | "Elevate us" To New Heights | Reaction 

I recently read that Freddie Mercury was of the opinion that John Farnham was the best singer he had heard in his lifetime.. quite the accolade.

John’s white handkerchief at the end is referencing the late, great Luciano Pavarotti, who always performed with one. John is a natural joker.

I laughed so hard at Anthony's Frank Spencer impersonation. A subtle nod to Michael Crawford, the original Phantom of the opera....and it went straight over your head. Bless.

This man can sing anything, with anyone...a true performer, his humour is as impressive as his singing..

I thought that John's voice in Gethsemane was incredible, but this performance is pretty mind-blowing too! He really is one of the best singers of the last 50 years - and a pretty good comedian too 😀

Ahh, "The Main Event" was a show. They're all Aussie. Olivia is Aussie Pop Royalty, Farnham is Aussie Rock Royalty, and Warlow was Broadway Royalty. Having them all on stage was something unique.

Was at this concert. Was the best part of the night. Anthony has an opera and theatre background and John can sing anything he wants

Omg, Anthony Warlow. I was a Farnham fan when I first watched this as it aired in Australia . Then Warlow inspired me to sing. Checkout anything, literally anything from Warlow. He is flawless.

Anthony Warlow started in opera, then transitioned to musical theatre via Gilbert & Sullivan. His rendition of Enjolras from Le Mis got him picked for the international cast recording.

Anthony Warlow is another Australian treasure - we nearly lost him with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma in the early '90's - so he is treasured even more.

Anthony Warlow was Australia's first Phantom. He was forced to give up the part because he discovered he had cancer. It was said that he had private messages from all the other people who played the Phantom as well as a message from the writer. Thankfully he was able to beat the cancer and retain his wonderful voice.

Seriously John could sing the yellow pages and make it sound incredible, he borders on Tenor, and mate your appreciation and knowledge of music is meritorious honestly

Anthony Warlow is opera trained and has performed in many musical theatre productions. Please check out the song on this concert called, "This Is The Moment". It is dramatic and riveting. Australians have a great sense of humour and love to muck around with it as the two have done on stage. John Farnham is a funny guy and always jokes around in his concerts.

Step Aside Dimash - Warlow has spectacular long belts too. We all know Farnsie can sing anything - but you're right. A sit up straight moment in the midst of a great talent duo & great fun to realise in another life -John could have had a whole other career as a Classical Tenor. Mind you.. Glad he didn't or we wouldn't have all the great songs we know & love - back then & still today. Also, yet another great example that you can only relax & 'take the piss' outta yourself & your performance when you are TOTALLY on top of your game - as these two vocal masters are :)

I may be recalling incorrectly, but I believe this concert 'The Main Event', was produced not long after both Olivia Newton-John and Anthony Warlow had recovered from cancer. It was like their comeback celebration. I missed seeing it live, sadly.

Beautiful vocals...Beautiful friendship...love for the show....just brilliant....true showmanship.....

Oh YAY! I thought you’d enjoy this performance, and I knew I’d enjoy watching you react to the performance, so this was my birthday present to myself! Thank you so much for posting this video so quickly xo As others have said, this is from an incredible concert series in Australia called The Main Event, where John Farnham performed with Anthony Warlow and Olivia Newton John, all of them Australian musical royalty. The concerts had incredible music, as you’ve seen, but were also incredibly fun, showcasing the great friendship between the performers. They all performed individually, in duets, and as a trio. You’ve also reacted to a song from the show that John and Olivia did together. The concerts were staged in 1998, and shown on television. A highlight CD was released which went to number 1 on the Australian charts. There was also a video (literally a VHS!) and a DVD released. I’d love to send one to you, I think you’d love watching the whole concert. I also wanted to say thanks so much for sharing what you do. I’ve grown up with a lot of the Aussie musicians you’re now discovering, and your praise for their skill and technique makes me so proud of them. Your delight while watching them is so fun to see, and your videos have been a real highlight for me during a tough time recently. Thank you, God bless you and your family xo

You really should treat yourself and watch this full concert performance, brilliant absolute brilliance

I remember going to this concert with my parents when i was probably 14. I loved John Farnham's music but i whinged cause i didn't want to see Anthony Warlow. I came out of that concert with such an appreciation for him and his voice. I loved him singing "This is the Moment".

It’s Anthony warlow and he was incredible he had cancer many yrs ago. He could perform for some yrs so his come back was even more special . Xoxo Anthony did theatre ,he was the phantom in phantom of the opera and everyone that had the chance to see him perform and I was lucky enough . He and John both are incredible and how lucky are we that they lived here . Both incredible . Thank you so much for loving them because we do xoxo

Anthony Warlow was The Phantom in the Australian production of Phantom of the Opera for several years. Was lucky enough to see it. Anthony was brilliant as was the rest of the cast.

Love it when Warlow slips in the Frank Spencer voice.

Anthony singing "This Is The Moment" is spine tingling.

Great reaction yet again Nick to our favourite singers and National Treasures! Thank you.

My two favourites! I’d pay to hear Anthony Warlow whistle. I’ve seen him perform live MANY times and he moves me to tears. He’s another one of Australia’s great talents, he’s a national treasure. We’re going to send you requests for Anthony Warlow, he’ll blow your mind. I’ve sent a request via Instagram, you need to react to John Farnham singing Playing To Win. That one’s a high energy performance. Once again I enjoyed your reaction. This was thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyable 😊

John Farnham has the most magnificent voice on the planet, as agreed upon by John Lennon and Freddie Mercury.

John can sing anything you throw at him!!!!!

At one point John mimics Frank Spencer, a character made famous by Michael Crawford. Michael Crawford became the first Phantom of the Opera and had a successful musical career. He is worth listening to.

John is just so brilliant. He's not an opera singer he just does this stuff for fun haha as you do. I wish he'd done more musicals but at least we got to see some of his incredible talent in Jesus Christ Superstar. His voice gives me chills!

I was at this fantastic concert. You can see the size of the audience. There were thousands there. Olivia was the third star of the show. They clowned around but also there were some beautiful moving moments and magnificent singing. Anthony originally studied Opera but went on to become a huge star of Australian musical theatre and also Broadway. I hope you get to hear more of Anthony singing. "Anthem" and" Bring him home" are 2 of my favorites.

They both seem to be very versatile singers, and that makes them very fun to watch together.

Oh I am so glad you reacted to this as you see how amazingly versatile John is and get to hear Anthony sing. I was so blessed to see Anthony perform as the phantom in “Phantom of the Opera”, he blew me away and it is a special moment in my life. Brilliant reaction as always. You should check out Anthony singing “this is the moment” in this same concert, absolutely breathtaking.💕

That's "Anthony" Warlow...this whole concert was epic :)

Coming back to watch this, Anthony and Olivia were fresh into remission for cancer when John called them to organise this concert and get them back out there performing. But now we have lost Olivia after her relapse, Anthony i believe is perfectly healthy, and now it is John that is recovering from cancer.

Anthony Warlow is known around the world as the man in opera. He did Phantom, Les Mis, you name it in his time. I was lucky to see him as the Phantom and he chewed the scenery up! Great reaction!! 👍

Nick....maaaate...YES...This is so great and epic.....Doesnt get much better than this. 2 consummate singers and the orchestra was insane on their own. I saw 1 main event show and it was fantastic. As you said it was "EPIC Another great reaction post too and you were nailing the vocals too 👍👍🔨🥁🙏

saw this live in concert! Whole show was fantastic! Warlow is an operatic sensation here and a great comedian as well. John is John!!!! I did pay to see them and I would again and again

This was one of my favourite highlights of The Main Event tour with John, Anthony and Olivia. So much fun and the vocals were brilliant! I attended 3 shows. 😊

I have this on a video. the entire show. They both love to goof around and had the audience in stitches....but still show their amazing voices...and Yes John is a very funny guy. May I say with a typical Aussie humor. The Main Event was sold out in every state. John Farnham, Olivia Newton John and Anthony Warlow. Each did their own solos and then each had a duet. I think you've already done the one with Olivia & John "Please don't ask Me"

My mum was always a massive Farnsey fan, she said this was amazing live. I wish I had gone with her.

Anthony Warlow, Olivia Newton-John and John Farnham all performed together at the Main Event Concert in 1996 and 1998 respectively, from where the above performance came.

Warlow is a Legend of Operatic Theatre and was the lead in the Phantom of the Opera live musical, and a dozen other amazing live shows. A completely different genre and background to John Farnham.

I had to watch the concert after seeing your reaction lol Thanks for the reactions

If I remember correctly, the two of them were set to open a massive stadium style production of Jesus Christ Superstar in Australia, when Warlow was diagnosed with his lymphoma weeks before it opened. They prepared the show together, which is likely why they work so well, despite being in seemingly opposite genre's.

I was at this concert. 23 years and 100ish concerts later, it's still one of the best I've been to.

John has done stage theatre, having acted in several musicals. From the 50's through the 70's and 80's, many Australian artists have honed their art in theatre; whether they are in film, television or singing, they have all paid their dues. This performance was from The Main Event concert with John Farnham, Olivia Newton John and Anthony Warlow.

So fantastic to see the two of our Aussie legends because iv not seen most of these myself .Much appreciated.Great fun .Anthony was phantom in Phantom of the opera.

Love, love, love these power house singers!! 🙏❤️🇦🇺

John is such an amazing talent. Anthony warlow is a trained opera singer but John, being so versatile can hold his own during this operatic duo. John’s voice is amazing, such agility and Anthony Warlow is such a great opera singer, such a great performance all round.

Now listen to John and Andrew and Olivia sing the voice it's brilliant from same concert

I was in the audience and, while I had seen Anthony in musical theatre a number of times, I was not aware of his comedic talent. The opposite was the case with John Farnham - I had no idea he had such depth of talent in this type of singing. It was indeed a magical performance.

Anthony played the Phantom of the Opera in Australia

Thanks for bringing up great memories with our AMAZING Aussie talent. Makes me want to watch these concerts all over again. I do glad people are really starting to appreciate our talented artists that we grew up with. Can't wait to watch more memories with what you find next!! xxx

Hi I’m an Aussie and love your reviews, ty they r great. I know how much u appreciate John’s talent and other Aussie artists but I thought u might like John’s version of Led Zeppelin’s “Black Dog” it’s awesome. Ty again

Our greatest opera singer!!!!

Beyond excellence!! JF can do anything!! I went to this and was blown away🤯, and I still watch it on dvd🥰👏👏

I can't stop laughing watching your reaction to this incredible comedy opera with our John and Anthony, Nick. This whole concert with Olivia Newton-John was just the best. Watching John doing You're the One That I Want from Grease with Olivia is the absolute best thing to witness for this comedy musical genre 😍😍

My favourite part of the concert love it

Ah yes, Granada from the Main Event Tour, removing any doubt that John can pull off an Aria/Operatic piece when called out

Good morning from Oz!! I always look forward to seeing you react and I need a scarf to wave hahaha. Enjoy 🙏❤️🇦🇺

I love watching your John Farnham re action you really do appreciate him so much 🙌 thank you so much

Anthony and John are both great showmen on stage. That is why live is better. I love John waving his white flag at the end.

You should check out Anthony Warlow singing Music of the night in Phantom of the Oprah. So good

Check out Anthony Warlow singing Jekyll and Hyde musical. That's my favorite of his.

I play John Farnham's songs over and over. John is very unique, a true blue Aussie, a gentleman and possesses a child like delight in singing , he connects with his adoring crowds. I didn't see any of his concerts but I would have given just about anything to have been in the audiences. The next best thing is watching him on RU-vid.

This is my favourite part of the Main Event concert. Xx

Anthony Warlow does a lot of musicals - most known for Phantom of the Opera - and I will literally go to any show he is in. I do not care what it is, I will sit through anything. The musical of Dr Zhivago was actually written for him specifically but they never released a full Australian cast recording. There's a couple of tracks that were released on RU-vid as promos for the show and I hold them in my heart forever.

I believe this is from The Main Event Concert in 1998 when John was aged 49. So funny the rhetoric between them. There's a lot more in the medley they sing.

❤ this reaction. They are hilarious 🎉 and so talented!!

Anthony Warlow must watch as The Phantom of the Opera. Saw this concert live and was bloody funny. They had fun.

Hi there have you heard " listen to the wind expo 88 John farnham, brilliant, sorry I can't send you anything just at this time I'm struggling with life but love your reactions they keep me smiling cos I love music, I watch you every night so thank you and God bless

I totally forgot about Anthony Warlow until this video.. he was very big here in the 90s.. my mum loved him.

Oh gosh. My primary school principle is one of Anthony Warlows sisters, he used to come and stage our end of year concerts. Quite amazing to see him here

The comment by Warlow, "You haven't got a towel down there have ya?" is a replication of Michael Crawford's character when he was in the show, "Some mothers do have them", an English comedy series & his copy is perfect. Crawford also played the phantom in "Phantom of the Opera", which Warlow played in Australia & brilliantly.

You said John Farnham should have his own comedy show. Well back in the late 60's he did. He played a plumber, I do believe. It's been along time since I've seen it and that's how his song Sady The Cleaning Lady was born.

Anthony not Andrew. 🤣 He's an amazing opera singer and in my opinion the best Phantom in the Phantom of the Opera. This video is the Main Event, I was lucky enough to see this show with John Farnham (who I've loved since I was a kid). They are outstanding together.

Anthony Warlow is classically trained, and has appeared in operas and stage plays; plus John has also done musical theatre.

Great opera singer from phantom of the Opera!!!!!

I have just started watching you today and John Farnham is one of my favourite Australian artists (I grew up with him. He revitalised his career when I was about 10). You really need to see Burn For You (he wrote that for his wife) and One is of my favourites of his.

The aussie way.. no matter how great someone may be.. cant take ourselves too seriously. Keeps us grounded

Johnny or The Voice as he is known amongst us Aussie’s, is the all round Australian performer and good guy. Always pleasant, funny, entertaining and devoted.

Anthony Warlow was the original Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde in the original Broadway musical cast. 'This is the moment' is a huge song from the original score.

Omg you didn’t do this! Omg! My two heros and this performance means the world to me! Also yes Anthony has Broadway tone. He is both Aussie opera and musical theatre royalty. John Farnham is also precious and should be adored by all. Please tell me you know Marina Prior though! You’re obviously a man with a gorgeous operatic voice! Please tell me you know Marina Prior!

OMG this was awesome, was laughing and amazed at the same time. Love watching these videos of John with you, I'm learning more as well.

Wonderful watched many times and enjoy more each time

Did you notice Anthony's amazing vocal transformation from Opera god to Frank from Some Mothers Do Have 'Em,, when asked for a towel?

Went to their concert with Olivia Newton-John......what a night!

Did you notice Anthony's quick imitation of actor Michael Crawford 's character Frank Spencer from the English sitcom 'Some Mothers Do Have 'Em' when he said the the audience 'Haven't Got a towel have ya'? (Michael Crawford as it turned out, also had a great operatis voice when he starred in Phantom Of The Opera').

Okay blown away what a voice Anthony and Mr Farnham well what can we say but bow down to the GOAT only thing i haven't seen John do is Country but i'm sure he could pull that off too.

Thankyou thankyou thankyou I thoroughly enjoyed this. Loved your reaction

Anthony Warlow is the Aussie version of Michael Crawford. He did years as The Phantom of the Opera but had to step back due to cancer. He also does the most amazing Freddy Spencer as does Michael Crawford.

Glad you like Anthony- he s a great guy. Another Farnham performance you mght like to see is him performin East Timor for the troops: you'll never walk alone - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tEyg1dIcqCE.html

I have to get myself a copy of this. When I get mine I’ll get 2 and send you one Nick 🤟🏻😁👍🏻

Absolutely Awesome Aussie talent!!!!!!

I laughed so many times during this, then I got goosebumps.

John is always funny. Not stupid! You see so much more of his sense of humour live and Anthony’s. It is an Aussie thing. This was a full concert that toured for 3 months with Olivia Newton John after Anthony had some really horrible cancer treatment. People like these 3 do that for each other also an Aussie thing. Anthony is as big as John in his own field of opera and stage musicals. If he wasn’t lead in a musical, I didn’t go and see it.

Anthony Warlow performed in PHANTOM OF THE OPERA.

Saw this live. Was amazing.

Mate, it was hilarious and spin chilling watching them live on stage at that concert with Olivia Newton-John. The Main Event.

He was the Phantom in Phantom of the Opera
