I COULD LISTEN TO THIS ON REPEAT!! John Farnham singing “Reminiscing” (Live in Melbourne 1983) 

This is what it looks like when you love singing. He looks like he is in his happy place❤❤❤

John is so versatile, he can sing anything. It's just all so effortless.❤

Baby John. Even at the beginning he was awesome and just got better and better. John’s vocal agility and range is epic. I think one of if not the best male vocalist of all time. Keep the John Farnham reactions coming.

This is what he was born to do

John is such a great entertainer. I love the way he always looks so relaxed when he performs. He never disappoints when he sings live. Loved your reaction, especially the bit where John made you laugh & smile. 😊

I love John's swing jazz interpretation of this iconic LRB song. It makes this Aussie Classic feel new again.

John can do anything.

It doesn't matter what John sings, there is always joy on his face. He is a great showman(not show-off), consummate entertainer and a gentleman both on and off the stage.

Thanks for reacting and appreciating Farnsey’s talent!

I love your reactions and especially the ones to our John😍 If you really want your mind blown watch his live version of Amazing Grace and his better that Led Zeppelin’s version of Black Dog!! Both are a master class in vocal dexterity 😎

Love his ad libs and he can jazzify anything

John farnham is definetly my nr one favorite male singer of all time. And it all comes down to his ability to master any kind of music genre to perfektion. Uniqe voice and his stage presence is from another planet. ❤

I love this song, and John Farnham singing this soooooo much. It's one of my go to's. Shame the crowd was asleep!

There's a song called We're No Angels that he does that has some beautiful octave leaps in it, the range is a bit lower than usual for him I think. There's a couple of videos of it out there. It's a gorgeous song.

Great reaction and bugger me, I am a massive fan of John and I live in OZ but never have I seen this. So thanks to yourself and the person who recommended playing this video. Amazing performance by John and no surprise about that.

I've never seen this performance, amazing.

John sings this mostly in his chest because Glenn Shorrock (the original lead of the band and singer of this song) has a deeper voice.

Great great great song, gives me goosebumps

what a lovely and charming host you are. My first warm smile in a while. ty rob...first saw him on bw tv when he debut 17 he was i think.

One of the best world singer. We missed him in USA?//

I appreciate this might seem beside the point, but can I just point out, I've always appreciated how much John just LOVES SINGING.

G'day Lexi.... Seems you are already acquainted with John and many of his videos. There are a few you didn't mention I think are perfect for your own musical style and interests as a vocal coach. 1) a very young John ( Johnny back then ) covering Simon & Garfunkels " Bridge Over Troubled Waters " live. 2) Two live videos from the Australian 1990's production of Jesus Christ Superstar. a) Gethsemane - solo from a filmed performance. b) Everything's Alright - Full cast live for an Australian TV show called Hey Hey It's Saturday........an impromptu Amazing Grace is added as an extra if you watch the full video. 3) Lifted Up By Angel's - a live duet with vocal coach and loyal backing vocalist Lisa Edwards. A possible 5th video would be Amazing Grace featuring Vanetta Fields and Lindsay Field ( another 2 loyal backing vocalists and despite the surnames are not related. lol ) Cheers.

More farnham reactions please. the ones with the melbourne sympony orchestra are the best. also with jimmy barnes and diesel for "when something is wrong with my baby" the aria awards version is my favourite

Just subbed. You seem to know your stuff and I am really enjoying your reactions to Aussie singers that the rest of the world has never heard of. Keep it up, you channel looks good

Man these boys can sing and play - amazing

The spotify version was probably with Glenn Shorrock on vocals. John replaced him for a couple of years.

So many brilliant performances of John's to react to; one that is strangely under-rated is - Listen to the Wind - I can't choose a favourite but this one is amazing! Always listen to him LIVE if you can, his interaction and reaction to his audience and band cannot be matched IMO. Angels with long time backing singer Lisa Edwards shows more of his humour- then he morphs seamlessly into the Voice of an angel!.

John loves to mess around, having fun on the stage; plus a good comic personality, and loves to play around with the mic stand. Check out his performance of his signature song You're The Voice from this concert with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra; watch carefully after the bagpipes, for his 'baton twirling' of the mic stand.

Lexi, check out John singing Who’s Loving You with Human Nature as well as John with Anthony Warlow. John can SING ANY GENRE!!! Enjoy!

The Spotify, studio, version was sung by the original singer of Little River Band, Glenn Shorrock.

Most of the LRB songs were released before John Farnham become the lead singer so thats probably why its a little different from his norm that you see.

He was TOLD what to do in LRB!!!

so good, so fun

You're welcome. :)

When Glenn was fired as lead singer in LRB John was asked to step in. He was so unhappy but he is very giving, he wanted to sing his music. The band were nasty because they wanted John to stand still and sing, they were the stars they thought. John has always shared the stage equally with everyone, he never thinks he is the main attraction. John couldn’t stand still to save his life. They did things like having his microphone stand taped to the floor, having the leads on his microphone shortened and more but he still gave them his best and the respect they did not deserve. I will never watch or listen to LRB again. I only did this time because John was singing. Thank you.

Thanks for another great reaction Lexi, I really enjoyed this. What I like with all of your reactions is that you clearly love music & singing but when you are watching an elite vocalist, the enjoyment is clear in your smile and your whole face lights up which in turn makes us viewers smile, so thank you 🙂🙏 After doing a search on your channel I couldn't see any Matt Corby. As a pure artist, I'd definitely dive into his catalog, starting with his first hit "Brother", but do the live version on Triple J's "Like a Version" that includes the prelude as it has Matt telling the DJ what the song is about before he performs it.

You need to do more from John please. “ let me out” live is awesome and insane guitar solo from Brett Garsed, and “chain reaction” live, insane harmonica solo.

Great Show. I like your Reactions and Diagnosis. Great Break-downs. Thank You and God Bless. I'd like to see your take on Led Zeppelin Cover "Black Dog" and Beatles Cover "Help" Anyway. If you have already done them I will keep searching? Thank You.

Have you seen any of his live songs with Melbourne symphony orchestra long way to the top, the voice, help a Beatles cover song which he made his own with his style

Enjoyed your react... you might look at Lisa - Homura from The First Take... you will be blown away! Grab a tissue and watch all of it.. including the dialogue at the end.

Watch him sing Help - live

When John joined Little River Band, he felt a bit hog-tied due to the structure of the group; and when he started to be more himself, the band felt like they were a back-up band rather than the whole act. Eventually, John and the band realised that they could find common ground; so they went their own way.

The guitar is very reminiscent of Masayoshi Takanaka's stylings

Oh dear. When LRB first formed and became huge in Oz and the US, the lead singer was Glenn Shorrock, and the vocals and harmonies were very tight and disciplined, and their stage performance was as one well disciplined unit. Then Glenn left the band and was replaced by the irrepressible John, bouncing around the stage (and the vocals) like Tigger on a pogo stick. The rest of the band felt like they were a backup band for a soloist and were not happy at all. Nor were many of the fans - the repertoire virtually had to be rewritten for John's voice, including the fabulous Playing to Win, written by John himself. But keeping John to a strict melody would be like keeping water in a sieve. It just didn't work. But even though he reckons he bombed in LRB, he credits the experience with being the vehicle to hone his vocal and stage skills. When John left LRB he also took David Hirschfelder with him, and David was his musical director and keyboardist for decades, and is responsible for fabulous arrangements, including the concert production of JC Superstar in 1992 in which John played Jesus. But I digress. John's manager and lifetime friend Glenn Wheatley (until his death in 2022) literally bet his own home on John's solo career. They came across this rather promising song called You're The Voice, asked for the writer's permission to record it, were told No, recorded it anyway and the rest, as they say, is history. Glenn Shorrock rejoined LRB when John left, but I don't think they reached the same fame after that.

Could you please include a link to the video you're reacting to in your video description?

Real music not like the crap today. When singers had talent and not relying on auto tune😂😂😂

You do realise John was only messing around up on stage with not real energy. This song was produce by the little river band & before John they had another lead singing Glenn Goble who was the heir apparent to the band at the time ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XBETVhHpcPk.html - John was clowning around in this performance

You do not pronounce the H in Farnham.

Try pronouncing Farnham without the second a.

Pronounced Far-num.
