John Farnham and Anthony Warlow | Help Live | Reaction 

Help is a Beatles song. One thing that nobody mentions about John is his amazing mic discipline. He never has it smashed into his gob, because he knows how to project, and he knows how to move it away so as to keep from overpowering the sound system when he belts. He's especially careful about it when singing with less powerful voices. Master of his game!

Australia is loving your reactions to John, Jimmy and the others. There have been other guys and girls react to our legends but we can see the genuine love and respect you have for them and we love it! Keep going and I’m sure half of Australia will be following you soon! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Yes! It’s Anthony Warlow!!!!! One of our very best singers. Aussies have it all.

Your reactions to Farnhams vocals cracks me up.. us Aussies are so used to it, maybe we take it for granted.. he is epic!

Aussie here. I was lucky enough to see John live 17 times. I love him to bits. One of the best compliments about John Farnham that I ever heard from another artist, was from Freddie Mercury (lead singer of Queen), who said in an interview that John Farnham was the most technically perfect Male voice he'd ever heard. Coming from Freddie Mercury, that's gospel

Yes, that is Anthony Warlow. I believe he was recovering from cancer then. John and Olivia Newton John did this show with Anthony. Anthony is famous for so many stage musicals like Phantom Of The Opera. He is amazing on stage and as nice as John and Olivia are.

Just letting you know, ThatSingerReacts, as much as you love & appreciate all these amazing singers, you are very loveable, too.

Some context. Anthony Warlow is a fantastic opera singer. He also does swing and musical stuff. At the time Anthony was recovering from multiple cancer treatments so probably wasn't up to the opera stuff. This was from a televised concert where the two of them and Olivia Newton-John (from Grease) played together. They all did solo stuff and then various bits and pieces together. The stuff about 'Sadie the cleaning lady' at the end of the video refers to John's first hit called 'Sadie, the cleaning lady'...and there's a long running joke at John's live shows that he hates the song, and has to be convinced and bullied into singing it (he doesn't really and it's all a joke).

Anthony Warlow is one of the greatest Theatrical/Stage Musical Singers of all time, and in my honest opinion, the GREATEST vocalist to perform lead as Phantom of the Opera!

Anthony Warlow's version of "This Is The Moment" gives me chills

Andy warlow was lead in the phantom of the opera in Australia and is one of our best musical stage singers .the song they were playing around with at the end is Sadie the cleaning lady John's first Australian hit , check it out its fun . My all-time favourite song from John was when he was with The Little River Band its called COOL CHANGE and is beautiful it was also sung by the original band singer and was equally as good please check it out you won't be disappointed .

John hits you right in the face like a bat with his opening vocals.

John Farnham is a National Treasure. He’s such a nice bloke too… and then there’s THAT a voice. He’s an Icon! ♥️

“Saddie the cleaning lady” was Johnny Farnham’s first hit record when he must have been about 17 years old. EVERYONE at EVERY concert wants him to sing it. He pretends to hate it.

I was blessed to get to see Anthony Warlow as the Phantom of the Opera here in Melbourne when it premiered. 🙌 Beautiful.

I was (and remain) obsessed with John Farnham and Anthony Warlow's version of ''Granada''. This is a song which really shows off their vocal chops. Anthony is a trained opera singer and John Farnham really steps up his game to meet every vocal challenge that Anthony throws his way. In addition to this, Anthony sustains a note so long he manages to walk around the stage THREE times. The breath control is stunning. There is a video of their performance on RU-vid uploaded under the title ''Anthony Warlow elevates us to 'high art'''. 10/10 recommend to have your mind blown + they are a great laugh together on stage.

John Farnham is our Aussie legend. Anthony is the face and voice, of "Phantom of the Opera".. Both the best of the best world wide.

In Australia it really makes us so happy to watch you on your Australian music journey. The extensive amount of talent always astounds us because our population is so small

john farnham is not just a singer he is an entertainer

John is a Chameleon of many talents. His vocal gymnastics is amazing and inspiring.

I KNOW John Farnhams voice was a gift from God, this is just so soul cathcing. Few singers catch that gift and bless others for it.

Help was originally a Beatles song but John definitely made it his own, I believe you have already done a reaction to it when he did it with the Melbourne symphony orchestra

If you want to see more of these two - Its called "The Main Event" and they did it with Olivia Newton-John in the round (stage in the middle) They were hilarious - I was lucky enough to see the tour three times. John is such a comedian and Anthony is also very very funny....Poor Livvie...she had to contend with these two every night for like six months hahaha... Anthony is one of our best leads in Phantom of the Opera.... Farnsey was THE best JC in Jesus Christ Superstar (took his band of course.. ) Gethsemane live is a total treat.

We Aussies are loving your reactions , I am sorry that this is 1 yr ago This is from a show that toured called THE MAIN EVENT , the two of them and OLIVIA NEWTON JOHN wait till you here them do GRANADA and ANTHONY does the best impression of Frank Spencer ,AKA MICHAEL CRAWFORD ever, sadly we have lost OLIVIA to cancer. I have only started knowing 1st reactions I am 61yrs old and am loving being able to watch all these great Aussie artists again BUT my heart belongs to JOHN I am using my Twin Sisters computer so her name will pop up , but my name is GISELE and I'm going to tell her very soon haha , you are by far my favorite . ONE last thing have you seen John doing ACDC from the live concert in Melbourne 1980 with the Melbourne Symphony , It's a Long Way to the Top if You Want To Rock and Roll...I have never seen a Conductor having such a blast so cheers from Australia mate

Anthony Warlow is absolutely incredible. I saw him on Broadway when he took over the role of Hook from Kelsey Krammer in Finding Neverland. One of the best musical theatre performers of our time.

John can sing anything!!!!!!

Blessed to have seen him live many times and got a handshake

Oh and I was at this gig, and we couldn't get out of our seats afterwards, we were just so exhausted from being blown away by their amazing vocals for 2 hours!! Anthony Warlow is Australia's original musical theatre star - he was the lead in our original Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, and many others.

❤❤❤well this man can sing anything!!!!!!❤❤❤❤

Amazing how John can lean on those notes. I'm pretty sure, around this time he was recording songs where he hit G5.....kid you not !!

John Farnham .... bro .... however great you are .... John gonna show you what's up

Anthony Warlow is a national treasure. I’ve been lucky enough to see him live on many occasions. I also got to see John and Anthony perform together in The Main Event, an absolutely amazing experience 😃

You need to hear Anthony sing ‘Music of the Night’ from Phantom of the Opera. Great voice… 👍🇦🇺

Sadie the cleaning lady was a hit for John back in the black and white tv days. That's how old he is

Anthony Warlow had Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma, the chemotherapy took his hair. He was also the national ambassador for the Leukaemia Foundation.

Huge respect to Chong Lim who musically directed The Main Event (and the majority of John Farnhams music). Such an talented guy to keep up with everyones onstage antics.

Anthony Warlow is a loved aussie opera and stage singer, gave it up to beat cancer and came back.

He is our boy been listening to this man for over 50 years 😢

The Beatles recorded this in 1965, it was the title song of the album "Help", but John Farnham's version has more of a ballad feel to it. John Lennon once said that this was the way he would have liked the original version to be, but it finished up more an upbeat version. Celine Dion and Tina Turner were so impressed with Fanham's version they both recorded it. The other guy is Anthony Warlow a legend in musical theatre in Australia and also has an amazing voice......

I love Anthony Warlow. I saw him play The Phantom in Australia's production of The Phantom of the Opera and he was perfect. He does a lot of Broadway and swing music. I listened to his album 'On The Boards' on repeat when I was a teenager. His version of I Am A Pirate King from Pirates of Penzance is hilarious and his rendition of Bui-Doi from Miss Saigon is heart wrenching. Truly, he, John and Jimmy Barnes are Australia's greatest male vocalists.

I was in the front row of this concert and I sends shivers up my spine even today one of our greatest singers always a fan always

True musical theater. A live audience is where they all shine

Nick, I have to thank you! Whenever I get overwhelmed with what is happening out there in the world, I come & watch or rewatch you reactions & they make my heart sing again. As you know I am a huge Fan of John, I met Olivia & Cliff , such a fan of the Anthony's, Guy, Delta, the Barnes grew up around the corner here where I live. It has been so awesome going on your Aussie music Journey & revisiting my Favorites through your eyes & Ears! Thanks heaps young man! And Yes! John can sing anything & this concert with Anthony Warlow really showed the versatility of both men! Both great respect for each other, which comes across so well in this hey! Much love Debbie

“Jesus John” hahaha I love your reactions mate

Anthony Warlow is one of my favourites. He is a baritone, but can be quite happy and pure in the tenor range. His voice is unique.Find some of his musical recordings to listen to him in his element. Also check out David Hobson, our tenor extrodainaire. Once again, a powerful, unique voice.

John Farnham & Anthony Warlow both have a great sense of humour & love cracking jokes when performing. They're hilarious!

When John first started out his anthem was 'Sadie the Cleaning Lady' and he gets teased about it with love. Anthony is a fantastic opera singer and this is pure fun to watch.

I look forward you listening to some of the work by the late Australian Indigenous singer, Gurrumul, of the Yolngu nation. One of the most extraordinary voices you'll ever hear.

YES he evokes our emotions

Anthony Warlow was THE PHANTOM OF THING OPERA in Australia I had the pleasure of seeing him in the second night of the production in Melbourne Australia. The best Phantom EVER,!!

This was from a concert tour called "The Main Event" and it was John Farnham, Anthony Warlow and Olivia Newton-John. They all did solo parts, different pairings and then songs with all 3 on stage. If you loved that segment you would love the whole concert! I saw it live here in Australia!! Was amazing

Love that John is getting respect! When he was 19 and doing songs like "Sadie", he was just treated as a pretty boy pop singer! My father was a jazz and blues muso, he never ever wanted to stop and listen to John! 😡 Keep an open mind and heart, you never know what's possible!! 🤨

John farnham has so many talents, you just scratched the surface. Has was so funny on "hey hey its Saturday "

Wonderful Reaction again Nick and appreciation shown for our all time phenomenal singer John Farnham! Anthony is also a superb Australian treasure. Please watch more from this terrific concert:'The Main Event', with Olivia Newton John.

His snippet of Grenada is better than ANYTHING of his you have seen so far

Love The Main Event concert, got the DVD, watched it so many times I lost count, Watching these 3great entertainers together, WOW, Amazing. Help by the Beatles. You get an OPERA singer, Anthony Warlow, POP singer John Farnham, Country singer Olivia Newton John. Phenomenal together. Please let the songs play through, then comment.

Anthony Warlow, Olivia Newton-John and John Farnham all performed together at the Main Event Concert in 1996 and 1998 respectively

I just love watching your reactions. You just love a good singer! And we Aussies have the best.

These guys were great.together - definitely check out their Granada vid from the same concert, it plays to Anthony's strengths a bit more but John absolutely smashes it. From memory I think it is on RU-vid under "Anthony Warlow elevates us to high art"

Anthony Warlow is an Australian opera/musical theatre star. He played Phantom until a throat cancer diagnosis. In this tour, called "The Main Event", c1999, which also included Olivia Newton-John (Grease, opposite John Tavolta), he was in recovery, hence the shaved head. Just after this clip ended, they went on to sing a challenging song called "Grenada" - worth a watch to hear JF doing something different! "Sadie, the Cleaning Lady", which Anthony Warlow alludes to, was John Farnham's first hit single - a "pop" number which he has never lived down! He was eighteen!

So - these 2 gents are among my faves. I’ve seen John Farnham live more times than I can count over the last 35 years. He’s brilliant isn’t he!

Anthony Warlow is phantom of the opera.

The Main Event - John Farnham, Anthony Warlow & Olivia Newton John having so much fun on stage

Love that you are reacting to this song. I love John Farnham and Anthony Warlow singing together. Just a quick note on Anthony Warlow. He can sing in an operatic way, but he is actually a Broadway singer. Love his voice!

The Sadie gag at the end is in reference to Johns first hit back in 67.

Farnham concerts (I've been to 2 - an intimate group of 400 & a stadium of thousands) are just like he's having fun & getting paid for it; the audience is along for the ride; it could almost be a jam session in his garage, with interludes of chats & stories. From all accounts he's as much fun off the stage, what you see is what you get.

Look at the whole of The Main Event concert and you will find some fantastic solo, paired and threesomes by John, Anthony and Olivia!! Some great listening!

John Farnhams 1st song was "Sadie the cleaning lady" & he always gets shit for it (made fun of) because of it here in Oz 😄😄. Anthony started singing the lyrics to it at the end 😁

Thankyou for your obvious appreciation of Aussie music, especially Farnsy and Barnsy

You need to check out John Farnham singing Sadie The Cleaning Lady!!!

Oh thankyou for that...Been so long s8nce watched it... Love how they both are ine awe of each other and so magnificent 💓

When you add Olivia Newton John to the mix and I cried for hours (With pure joy).

Johnny still got it as he ages too. He's been unwell recently, hope he recovers

That concert was so funny and entertaining Hope you do more of this particular show

“That’s Life” that Anthony Warlow sang is a Sinatra song I think. “Bad Habits” was written and sung by another Aussie, Billy Fields. I also vote for John with Olivia N-J from the Main Event. Awesome. Also remember the US has what? 330 million people? Oz has 25 million. We go pretty well for talent per capita.

This was the same concert with Olivia Newton-John, The Main Event. It was amazing to be in the audience.

John and Anthony are so funny as well as being amazing singers. Anthony can do incredible impressions. I love his Elmo and Michael Crawford impressions. Kermit the Frog too.

I was lucky enough to have front row seats to this show in Adelaide and is still one of my favourite concerts ever💛 When Anthony and John do there sing off and John sings as a tenor is truly mind blowing!! Lucky enough to see John in Superstar and Anthony as Phantom 💛

Oh my GOD! Every time I listen to John he surpasses the last incredible performance!?!!! HOW??????????

His very first song was Sadie. That will give you context to the ending of this. Anthony is a Broadway entertainer. The two Aussie boys teamed up with Olivia Newton John. Another brilliant Aussie This was such a brilliant concert. I was lucky enough to be there back in the day. What talent we have.

He has amazing vocals you need to go right back to the beginning of his career . His first song Sadie The Cleaning Lady to see what he started like . I would love your reaction to it. Love him and his voice.

Absolutely love these boys and Olivia, The Main Event was such a great show!!

This is what Aussies are treated to most Christmases. These greats usually perform at one or other (or occasionally a couple of) christmas carol concerts for charity that occur every year.

Johny has such a beautiful calming voice and so powerful timeless. Love your reactions 🤣🤩

Love your reaction to the first few notes! Lol you probably didn’t recognise it was a Beatles song, but there’s was much poppy. That’s Anthony Warlow. Another great of Australia.

The song Bad Habits was covered very well by Billy Field (australian producer) who never intended to release it. Had a lot of hits anyway.

Sadie (The Cleaning Lady) was the 1st hit song John (Johnny as he was then) Farnham had in around 1968. The audiences at his Concert's always yell out to him to sing it. His usual reply is Fair Dinkum, Poor Sadie's retired. She's Sadie the Grandmother at home watching TV, now.

I saw Anthony Warlow, John Farnham, and Olivia Newton John in 'The Main Event' concert together years ago and it was fantastic. Recommend getting the album if you don't have it!

Awesome ... memories ✌️🍷🖤

Thank you for mentioning John yesterday? Doctors say John is doing well and his operation was a susses -) 11 hours he was in surgery. You have a President? we have a Premier and he went on TV last night to wish John well and said he's an Aussie Legend. Love your Videos

My Mother in Law went to a show featuring Johnny Farnham... She won the Sadie Cleaning Lady knee competition (Johnny Farnhams first bit hit) She got her knees autographed by Johnny Farmham...

John’s first hit was Sadie the Cleaning Lady. That was Anthony’s cheeky reference at the end of the performance.

John is a clown. A very talented one. He is so down to earth, and one of the reasons that Australians love him. Mr. Warlow is amazing too.

I know I’m 11 months too late. Anthony Warlow is known more for musical theatre. His best known run was as the Phantom in “The Phantom of the Opera”. I saw it and he was brilliant. I trained here (and in the US) as a stage actor. We have to be versatile here and Australians appreciate “talent”. These are people who have honed their skills for years and you will find there is a lot of mutual respect. John Farnham is considered to be the nicest man in our entertainment industry. He’s the real deal.

My favourite reaction yet my friend, wonderful

It’s interesting that we would be told Mr. Warlow is an opera singer and then be showing the song where he’s not singing opera… Lol. That being said, we see his versatility if he’s an opera singer because I would never have guessed that he’s an opera singer listening to this. Not every opera singer can sing in the contemporary style so well.

John and Anthony performing Granada at this concert was pretty amazing! This was a wonderful concert. So much fun. So many amazing vocals.

Johns such an Aussie treasure, we love him...we are all worried about his Cancer atm , he may not sing again

I was fortunate enough to see this concert live. Love, love, love them both.

He is such a comedian when he chats with the audience and interviews
