@@AussieDebb But didn’t you type the rest, they’ll come” running and der @ me I should have checked what u typed before I typed this 🥴. YOU get the credit for the last bit - except if chocolates are involved ……. all mine 😂 (Gee I hope they understand our Aussie humour 🥴🤔😂 lol)
RIP Libby. RIP Judith Durham. There is a full version of I am Australian that is AMAZING. It was just after Judith had a stroke yet rather than stay in hospital she insisted on performing.
Australia is a paradise for its beautiful coast and beaches. And so much more! Lifestyle is a priority, we work to live not live to work and we make time to enjoy the outdoors. We are Australian should be our National Anthem because it truly describes who we are. Judith sings it beautifully ❤
Apparently John has been asked many times to be a judge on the voice, he said he had enough problems trying to organize his own life, without judging others.
This wasn’t the Aria (music) awards, but the Logies, for the tv and film industry. They did the tribute to John because the film about him, Finding the Voice, was nominated for (and won) the best documentary award.
The TV Week Logies are the Australian television awards, similar to The Emmys in America. Named after John Logie Baird one of the inventors of television.😁 🙃🐨🇦🇺
By the way, the Logies have a red carpet too, with our celebrities from our TV, movie and music industries. Young and old - all Farnsey fans - all singing and clapping along. They know how much John loves his bagpipes. This song brings us all together, whether you're 5, 55 or 105. ❤❤
Hey Debb 😊 Sorry to have missed this one yesterday. My notification never went off.. 😕 Figured you would have the guys reacting to the Logies. It really was beautiful ❤❤ And you found a national anthem!! I hadn't seen that before. Amazing!! Great work once again. Thank you. Take care 😊❤❤
@@AnnieD.1982Thanks Annie. I just loved this and how they both called out Love you John at the end. It was so lovely seeing his boys and Gaynor there. Catch up soon Annie ❤
Come on down we'd love to have you both come visit us. I mean you are practically honorary Aussies now lol. Shout out to our "Aussie Deb" for this request it's brilliant. I think we need to get them onto Guy's music lol. (just saying) Thanks so much for such a great way to start my weekend guys.....love your feedback etc. Great channel as always.
@@AussieDebb Hey Deb, o Paul is answering my request to you "We must get them onto Guy's music" lol. Can you help me out??? Where to start lol. I think maybe 'Believer' ? I have problems with my vision (MD) so I'm not able to send requests etc... But I think once they see a video of Guy they will be happy to check him out.
@@TeacherPaulReacts Guy was our 1st winner of Australian Idol in 2003. Guy is a singer/songwriter & writes about 'real life' so many #1 hits... A love song he wrote for his wife is 'Believer' best version is from The Voice Aust when judges got to sing. ps IOU a coffee 😘ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ED0v9YuVpiE.html
The Seekers sang the full five verse version in their last farewell performance that gives more details of Australia's history. I suggest you search for it.
Because we didn’t want to sit in silence, Because we didn’t want to live in fear, We voted for some of the world’s toughest gun control. John’s song was used to embody why we needed gun control. If we could we would knight John because he is our voice And without doubt I am Australian is the people’s anthem
Hi Mark. Welcome to the family. Have a look at Paul's channel. I've been writing a history of John and they have so far recorded the first 12 parts. I'm still learning something every day about him. I've also sent.lots of Johns single ones to them and some Jimmy and Daryl. Cheers Debb
They did a great job! Saw a pic of John yesterday in a newspaper or magazine . Had the bottom half of his face hidden behind flowers. Poor thing doesn’t want the public to see the damage to his face. Love you John x
@@lillibitjohnson7293 Ah, no worries 🤗 - that photo was the same one that was released some months ago. I’ve now seen Robert Farnham’s recent wedding photos on RU-vid where John’s face is completely visible. It was a clip from “The Project”. The YT heading is “John Farnham photographed at son’s wedding post-cancer surgery”. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised, as was I… His surgical team did a wonderful job. I hadn’t been optimistic after seeing John Blackman who’d had the same operation, so like everyone else I’m so happy for him and his family.
@@r.fairlie7186 I think he looked amazing for what he had been through in those wedding photos ❤ There are more recent ones though from his 75th birthday in July. He looks even better! More colour in his face and looking even more like himself 👍 😊😊 I was so happy to see them recently too❤❤ I think the flower photo where his face is partly covered was from last Christmas... if I remember correctly.
@@AnnieD.1982That's correct, Annie. He is much more comfortable - I think we'll see a bit more of him when his book comes out in October. He is definitely getting stronger - thank the Lord and confident with his appearance, which is fantastic. I am just so happy for the whole Farnsey family and crew. ❤❤
For clarification, the Logies are like the Australian Emmy Awards. It is an awards night honouring achievement in Australian television, so everyone singing and dancing are people who are involved in Australian television industry, such as actors, writers, producers, directors, crew, etc. Amazing effort by both Guy and Jess, still gives me chills ❤
Oi does not mean Hi. Oi is a way of calling someone out, in OZ, particularly mischievous kids. Which many of us carry into adulthood. The catchcry was originally invented by the Aussie swim team. It was deliberately designed, as an interrupted cheer, because the one in the race couldn't hear the encouragement while submerged, but could each time their ears resurfaced as they took breath.
Watched this again and was reduced to tears, used to seeing John at our local supermarket, just dad with the kids in the trolley picking up the groceries. Gotta love the man
Re the OI....we stay it exactly as you do. It's the North Americans who have bent our pronunciations because they have an odd ear for linguistics. ....and thanks for this. Appreciate it
Paul, your pronunciation of “Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi” was correct. As far as I know the concept originated in Wales. The first three words for Australians are always shouted out as a call then the rest is a response from the audience.
The close up of a tall young guy and an older man in a hat: Ian Thorpe, Australian Olympic Swimming champion, now retired of course, and Aussie country singer Slim Dusty who died in 2003.
When they changed our Anthem from God Save The Queen. No one wanted this Anthem, we were not asked. The Government told us it was so. They have already changed one word and I still do not like it. Judith passed in the same week Livvie did and John’s best friend and manager Glenn also went around the same time from complications to COVID. They were all Australia’s family and I miss them. If you ever watch Finding The Voice you will know why Glenn was so loved with his wife and family. This song is more our Anthem. I think Peter Allen’s I Still Call Australia Home would be our second choice.
That Aussie chant started during the Olympic Games in Sydney 2000. It was originally a football chant from Scotland and we adapted it. So one half shouts Aussie Aussie Aussie! And the other half responds Oi Oi Oi! There’s a pattern to it which should be on RU-vid somewhere. Yep, found one at the Cricket: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VrjZi7WIAOw.htmlsi=GPyGcTTpiUPO2Urb
The two major diffo's between the US & Australia when it comes to celebs is that our sports men & women are our A+++listers & the people in the entertainment industry are behind them. It just shows that sport is a huge part of our lives & our sports stars are idolised whereas the entertainment industry isn't like that. Not are we known to be a massive sporting nation but the men & women playing whatever sport for Australia is that the kids, even us adults can understand the hard work & sacrifice they took to get them where they are & watching our athletes is what spurs the kids to get out & hava go whereas celebs in our country just don't look sustainable & are very unrealistic
I love that they organised a tribute to John. Great respect to both Jessica and Guy … but no …. Did not enjoy that at all. Anyone singing John’s songs just is not the same. They don’t have his warm tone.
