John Farnham - Help (LIVE COUNTRY GUY AND GAL REACT!!!) 

Quite possibly the best male vocalist you’ll ever hear…!

It blows me away how many 'music lovers' don't know that this is a Beatles song

John was Australian KING of pop in the 1970's. His careers started in the sixties until present day. Sadly John is battling with cancer. He is a living national treasure

John Lennon said it was without doubt the best version of HELP. This man is one of the best singers in the world. When you have Vanetta Fields as a backup singer you have to be good.

A granny in Australia says...it is always encouraging when something is SO good, people who talk to earn money are struck dumb. I am nearly 80 and John 73, so I have watched his whole career, with immense pride. I hope he knows how loved and respected he is now he is in the fight of his life..

You've found John. A massive rabbit hole for you. Once you find Jimmy Barnes, you'll be lost down that hole for a while.

John can sing everything from opera to hard rock. You’ve ain’t seen nothing yet

Really brings the emotion in the lyrics in this version. His live performance is on point 👉. We ❤❤❤❤❤John here in Oz.

I am sure the message will reach John, all you fine Americans reacting to his voice and he will be loving it

Help is a old Beatles song. John is a Aussie icon he is now recovering from mouth cancer. Look up “The Voice” as he known as here in oz I was lucky to see him live once in a small intimate setting and he was fantastic. He is a living legend!!

Go down the rabbit hole of the greatest pop singer of all time. What you saw was after about 2.5 hours of singing and still going strong. When The War Is Over (Last time concert) and Gethsemane, Jesus Christ Superstar, Sydney, the final night will blow you away. He is "The Voice".

Thanks for reacting to the voice from down under.John’s vocals are phenomenal and to me he is the GOAT

John Farnham is the Voice ❤❤

Welcome to the rabbit hole of John Farnham. He is totally amazing.

Celine Dion, Tom Jones, Richard Marx, Sammy Davis Jr, are just a few of the other people who think John can sing quite well. 😁

John is one of Australia's national treasures. He was a brilliant singer and wonderful all round person. ❤🇦🇺

Our Australia's greatest ever legend!!!!!

John is a national treasure. A consummate professional and a really decent bloke. A career spanning 60 years, he could sing the phone book and make it magnificent. We are all wishing him recovery from the cancer that has, at 73, robbed him of his 3 octave voice.

keep playing John and you will have all us Aussies here!!!

When you have an Aussie rock legend beginning to sing a Beatles song with just a pianist and the symphony orchestra slowly joining in and you see a harpist and a glockenspiel you realise that this collaboration is just perfection. The haunting sounds of the saxophone towards the end with all John’s power on display … no words can describe our love of him. The entire concert is perfection and the inclusion of bagpipes in “Your the Voice” sets it apart from everyone else.

John is the greatest voice in Australia...our KING! Please have a look at John singing "When the war is over" Thanks, from Oz

I really love watching people reacting to John for the first time. We love our John ❤

That was "Help" by the Beatles. John & Co. rearranged & recorded it 1980. This concert was 1989, the song was the final encore after 3 hours that night. As others have said, John is a much loved Australian national treasure. Thank you.

John is a national treasure in Australia. And Aussies absolutely love seeing people from other countries react to hearing him for the first time. He is currently recovering from cancer treatment in his jaw. Everyone wishes him well.

Love John 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

John started his career in the late 60's as a pop artist and became an adult entertainer during the 70's. He a consummate entertainer and a true gentleman. John's signature song is You're The Voice which he performs in this same concert; there is an instrument played in this song that will truly surprise you.

Wow wow wow. Australia's finest

We love adore and cherish John. Not only is he a magnificent entertainer he is a magnificent man. Very kind, friendly, honest,humble and very very very funny could be a stand up comedian

It was 1989. The last song (3rd encore) of a 2 hour concert, and John's voice was still as strong as his opening. The entire concert was amazing.

The last of the 5 times in saw John live was in 2010. He didn't sound any different to the 1st time in the late 80's. He's one of the few artists who ALWAYS sounds better live. A studio just doesn't do that magnificent voice justice.

John Farnham is , 'The Voice '. 👏👏

Best discovery of your life’s

John is a true Australian legend

Btw his name is pronounced Farnum. Or Farnsey to us devoted Aussies. John is just an awesome human being ❤️🇦🇺

This concert was in 1989

Yes 80s Johns taken a Beatles classic and makes it his own. Late John Lennon said this is the way the song was meant to be done. John has a phenomenal voice he is 75 now and recovering from a cancer operation on his mouth from last year and been back in hospital recently with a chest infection so we are all praying for a speedy recovery. The band Queen asked him to be their frontman after Freddie passed away but John said no. The more you dive into his wonderful music it is easy to see why they asked him to be their fontman. John is a Aussie legend born in the 🇬🇧 made in Australia loved around the world. Thank you for your great reaction more and more people are discovering John affectionately known in Australia and to his fans as The Voice. Been a fan of Johns since I first heard his music early 80s in the 🇬🇧 been following John ever since. Such a humble down to earth guy like a mate you could go to the pub with. Best reactions for John are the live in concert ones as his personality just shines through and the connection he has with the fans is infectious to watch.Thanks again 🇬🇧 Farnsey Fan 🇬🇧 🇬🇧

Best cover of the Beatles.

Written by by the Beatles, John's interpretation and vocals, Australian attitude and style 100%. You can't go wrong. Enjoy.

You are not the first ones to have a smile grow on your face when Farnsy sings and sure as anything, you will not be the last..... Thanks for the reaction. many more Farnsy songs to come....

this legend of Aussie music will send you down a rabbit hole of excellent music with songs like Angels , Your The Voice . Burn For YOU and many many many more

Our John! Growing up listening to Tom Jones and holding him so highly, John has sung in his presence on a couple of occasions and seemed almost 'humbled in the great man's presence'. Alas, held his own and almost claimed the same air. The world needs to hear more of this man now in the autumn of his career and recovering from cancer. Long live OUR John!!!

Our wonderful John Farnham is adored here in Australia 💕

Welcome to the world Farnsey 😊

The Orchestra always loved playing for John. Live is best because he is a great Showman and funny. That song was an encore after more than two hours of that voice. He is called the Voice here and he is loved. John sold out just that venue in Melbourne more than 90 times. He is known as the best voice alive anywhere today. From Richard Marx. John deserves to be known everywhere. Thank you.

👍One of the best live vocal performances ever!

Please do John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes singing ‘When Something is Wrong With My Baby’. Live. The Hey Hey it’s Saturday version. It is wonderful! Then you can also go down the Jimmy Barnes/Cold Chisel rabbit hole.

Thank you for your lovely reaction to our Living Legend, the Amaizing, the Wonderful, the Brilliant, The Voice Mr John Farhnam! We love him here in Australia & he is a kind & lovely human being. He does so many incredible songs. 🙏💕

The greatest performer and singer ever!!!

Our beautiful John Farnham thank you for listening, love from Australia 😊 Help is a Beatles song

You must also realize that this song was the final piece of a constant two-hour concert. Another good one is "Something is wrong with my baby" by John Farnham [Farnsy] & Jimmy Barnes [Barnsey].

Thanks for doing a reaction to John Farnham. He is extremely popular here even now. Ive been a fan of his since I was 4.

Has anyone mentioned it’s a cover of Help by the Beatles? Lennon, himself, said this was how it was supposed to be sung. ❤ Welcome to the Rabbit Hole of Aussie singers. You’ve got NO IDEA what is in store for you. The talent here is incredible. It’s a shame we weren’t allowed in to share. But also incredible that you are finally seeing.

He is my favorite Aussie male singer. All his songs are bangers.

You have discovered our Farnsy...our Aussie legend. 👌🇦🇺 The cover of ACDC's Long way to the Top from the same concert is brilliant too. Cheers

This was the encore at the end of a 2 hour concert (and btw this is a version of The Beatles song Help, John Lennon months before he died got to hear it and said it's how he wanted to sing it)... .there is a reason he is known as 'The Voice' by artists like Celine Dion, Tom Jones etc....... our Farnsey is a true legend..... stayed local because he didn't want to leave his family or deal with the 'demonic' music companies in the USA etc.......

John is now 74, and he is still our most loved singer and all time great guy. A tragedy he suffered throat cancer in 2003 but one year on he is cancer free, will sing again ? ….but Australia wants nothing more than for him than to live a long happy retirement with his lovely wife and sons. Can’t tell you how much we love this man ❤ 💕 💗.

Every thing that John did fills your heart 💞💞💞💕💕💞

It’s great to see people discovering what us aussies have had the pleasure of listening to for decades. John is an Australian icon and has so many great songs and performances from late 60’s til present, well near present anyway. This concert with help was an epic concert and all songs during were great and would be great to react to. Some stand outs are you’re the voice, it’s a long way to the top(AC/DC cover) which was amazing. Any song performed by John is great, he puts his heart and soul into everything he does, but whenever you listen to him try to do it to live performance where possible, he is amazing live and does some great duets with various artists. Enjoy the journey.

Beatle's Help was intended to be sung this way. John Lennon loved this version as performed by Aussie John Farnham.

It is a Beatles original - Help. Master rework of the original. This man can sing anything with anyone & is one of Australia's Legends

I've seen John Farnham multiple times live and it's great to see these reaction videos. He deserves all the recognition from all over the world.

Do yourselves a favour and check out Long way to the top with the MSO same concert, to see a more upbeat side of John. He’s a phenomenal singer and much loved Aussie legend who’s been performing for decades and can sing just about anything.😊

This was an encore after more than two hours of that voice. John always refused to leave until he thought everyone was happy and then he told us to be careful going home. Live is best because he is a showman with a one of a kind voice. He is funny and humble, he is Australia’s family and so is his family and his best friend and managers family. He really is something really special. Richard Marx said he is the greatest living voice anywhere. He isn’t wrong, so far Richard has identified 16 different genre’s of music that John sings naturally including Opera. He never had a lesson but the first twenty years of his career were horrible. John’s Biography Movie is being released today. I saw it on Mother’s Day and I cannot wait until that DVD is released. That venue in Melbourne John sold out more than 90 times in his career and that is just one City. The Orchestra love playing for him and by the time his show is over he has usually introduced everyone. He has never put himself above anyone else on the stage and he still gets surprised when a famous person knows him. He got emotional when Celine Dion sang his biggest hit and told him she has always been his number one fan. The list of greats he has been in concert with is long and they all came here. If you want to hear a beautiful ballad then try Burn For You. Or please don’t Ask me, it was a solo but the version from the Main Event concert with Olivia Newton John is really good. If you want funny and Opera then John and Anthony Warlow singing Granada at the main Event Concert is so good. John started out in the 60’s and he hasn’t sung since he was 70 because Covid arrived. He will be 74 on July 1st. He had a number one album in five consecutive decades. He has given us more than enough. We are just excited that he is getting well and is home with his family. Thank you.

That song he sang at the end of 3 hrs of singing. Great talent. Legend🎶🎶. I was lucky enough to have been there. Great night

This is a reworked version of The Beatles classic 1965 title song for the movie Help. A friend showed John Lennon the 1980 performance by John Farnham, and John Lennon was heard to say "This is how the song was meant to be sung". Apparently, before his death later that year, he did his own version of this performance.

You have just discovered an Australian national treasure John Farnham , Farnsey as he is known by all Aussies has been entertaining millions of fans since he started his career in the late 60s as a teenager . He toured America as the front man of The Little River Band but didn't like being away from his family and country . His biggest hit worldwide was YOUR THE VOICE which you will probably know when you hear it . Reacting to an Australian artist has opened a door to a host of extremely talented artists you might not have heard of , but its a fact that we punch above our weight when it comes to entertainers ,ACDC, THE BEE GEES, OLIVIA NEWTON JOHN KEITH URBAN just a few you would recognise and there's a whole bunch more for you and your subscribers to enjoy , you have my subscription in anticipation of a lot more Aussie content .

Recorded 1989. He had number 1 hits in 5 consecutive decades. He could do anything from ACDC rock (Long Way to the Top), through ballads like this, to operatic with Anthony Warlow!

If you wanna see the pure genius of John, check out his take on AC/DC’s “ it’s a long way to the top” from the same gig!!

John has been in a big battle with mouth cancer. You xhould check out "When something is wrong with my baby" with Jimmy Barnes and Diesel.

You found the rabbit hole. You must drop in. You will not be disappointed.

Thank u for doing this by our Farnsey. He's in his 70s now and his voice hasn't changed at all. Sadly though our treasure got cancer in his mouth and had to get some of his jaw removed. He's in rehab fighting it. Recently he was raced to hospital due to a bad chest infection but he fought that. We pray that he has a full recovery.

I would love to go back in time to this time again

Yes indeed. 1 of our best ever. Love your reaction! Luv from Australia ❤️🎼❤️🎼❤️

John “The Voice” is a singer from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and on. He had hit records across decades. Check out We’re the Voice if you want unusual instruments.

Enjoy the rabbit hole ❤ he has performed with the world’s greatest as well. This was an encore ….

In your free time check out the four-part video made by Adam Stolfa named, 'John Farnham Can Sing Anything'. The videos show John singing in approximately 20 genres. John has a big vocal range and is a fantastic singer. He is a consummate professional and has wonderful charisma and has great rapport with his audience. We Aussies love him.

Welcome to the huge rabbit hole of John The Voice Farnham you wont be disappointed with this Aussie legend. The list is a long one he’s has been singing and performing since 1967 and up until 2020.. you won’t get anyone better singing live as John does. He sings any genre he’s done it all. He is loved much here in Australia and the more you react to him the more you will see why. you play John and us Aussie will come. Thankyou for you reaction am looking forward to watching you do more of John. 😊👍🇦🇺

His most famous song is You’re the Voice. The best version is at the same concert with the orchestra. John is a legend in Australia not only for his singing but for being a wonderful human being who decided not to go to USA to further his career. He wanted to stay in Australia with his wife and boys.

Love ur reactions!!… he’s an Aussie treasure… he has a heap more… do Urself a Favor !!😉👍

John farnham australias legand , one if a kind unmatchable perfection talent in all ways , you will love all he does especially live . The fans that will flock when you do farnsy reactions will be crazy

Lucky you ! You have now listened to the greatest voice of all time ! If you continue on this journey, I am envious of you !

He would still pack the house even today, 2023, but he is recovering from cancer! We Aussies love him so so much!

John’s a wonderful guy, now in his 70’s and in hospital fighting complications from cancer surgery. He’s been entertaining Australia since the 1960’s.

And that, after a full 90 minute and highly energetic concert, was an ENCORE!

John is amazing. Took this classic Beatles' song and made it his own.

This was his last encore after a concert of more than 2 hours. You should also listen to his performance of "You're the Voice" from the same concert. It is also so powerful and one of the reasons he is called "The Voice" in Australia. That concert was in 1989 and the song "Help" is a song written and recorded by the Beatles in 1965.

Welcome to the John Farnham rabbit hole. You should react to more his song, you won't be disappointed. You will love him like us Aussie's do. He can sing anything. I'm 61 and John has been my favourite singer forever and will be till the day I die. ❤❤❤

John has the best voice you will ever hear. He is battling mouth cancer at the moment. You must look at the duet with Jimmy Barnes, featuring Diesel. If Something Is Wrong With My Baby.

Last song of a 2 hour concert. You need to listen to the original version from the Beatles to really appreciate what he did with this tune..... Celine Dion and Tina Turner adopted this arrangement as well.

We are one huge John family down here ❤

I’m glad that you have finally discovered our phenomenal Aussie treasure, John Farnham! We here in Australia have loved him for 6 decades!…You have 6 decades of John’s amazing hit songs, performed with his awesome band, to catch up on now! P.S. The ‘h’ is silent in John’s surname.

Look at his later concerts, he stays consistent!

From all accounts a total gentleman and friendly nice down to earth bloke that would strike up a conversation with people that he met out on the street. My misses met him once and said he was just a friendly easygoing gentleman. The bloke is struggling with mouth cancer at present and i reckon all the new people discovering and enjoying his music will really bring him joy

John only gets better with ,hes had hits every generation.

John is such a music legend in Australia. He has had number one hits in Australia in every decade since the 60's. There's not many artists with such longevity but John has fans of all ages and sings so many different genres that there's something for everyone. We all love him to bits as he is such a humble human being. I'm still not sure he even realises what a huge super star he his. Even in his 70's he was still packing out venues. Sadly due to his current health crisis its unlikely we'll ever see him sing live again. But we are all right there behind him in while he recovers. Loved your reaction so I've also subbed...hope to see more Farnsey on your channel soon

John is a great singer he can sing anything from rock to opera its a big rabbit hole to go down

Next up: same concert - You're the Voice and It's a Long Way to the Top. The Last Time concert: When the War is Over

His voice is amazing - this was the encore after a two hour concert. We Aussies have known and loved John for decades. Unfortunately he has had major surgery for oral cancer recently. Please watch him sing the Voice from the same concert.

I cant believe these guys hadn't heard of one of the most famous songs ever recorded. Its the Beatles folks 😮

Thank you for appreciating the legendary John Farnham! John's performance is my favorite version of the Beatles' song HELP. Amazing vocal range!
