Another runner up in our Patreon poll in February, I've heard a lot about John Farnham from our strong contingent of Australian and New Zealand based patrons and absolutely had to jump right in. Considered the unofficial anthem of Australia, that's quite a badge of honor to place on a song! How could it not be utterly amazing?!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to John Farnham for the first time, performing "You're The Voice” Live.

I played with John for 40 years and I was onstage at this show. He is without a doubt one of the greatest vocalists to have ever lived. This was the last song of a 2 hour concert and he would do this show 4 nights in a row, no problem. There is absolutely no enhancement to his vocal at all. I've sat next to him at a piano and he would blow your head off with his power. Unbelievable. We once did 16 gigs in a row in pubs with long drives every day and his voice never failed him, not once.

I was very much an aussie rock pig when I started working in the entertainment industry in 93, and thought Farnesy was just ok pop, until I worked on ten of his shows at the Sydney entertainment centre, and he's an absolute world class act all the way. Exceptional talent with him, his band, AND his production crew, and with the number of acts I've worked for over the years, I'm hard pressed to think of any act that is better, and very few that are equal.

@IanSamit Год назад

One night around 1981-82, I was re-stringing my bass in the change-room of, I think, Bulli Workers Club, when Farnham, who my band was supporting, walked in, introduced himself, and chatted away as I continued to string my bass, trying desperately to stay calm and coherent! As well as being one of the most astonishing singers ever to vibrate a fold, he is as friendly, funny and humble off-stage as on.

@EraVenator Год назад

@rupertguenther Год назад

I worked with John, playing violin in the string section for a run of his shows about 10 years after this performance. I've worked with some pretty good singers in the operas in Vienna, and I would say John's voice was outstanding. He's worth listening to for a wide range of his songs to really get what he is capable of. He was relaxed. loved the music, and gave a lot in every show. And he was exceptionally generous and kept everyone involved feeling valued. And you're right, the backing vocals are really excellent and toneful. Glad you enjoyed one of Australia's great singers.

@Captain_Terp Год назад

I’m an ex-sound engineer who had the privilege of working alongside John’s main front of house engineers throughout my career. They were the best in the game here in Australia 🇦🇺 and John was in a class of his own. FYI this song was released 11 years before auto tune was first heard. In the days before auto tune (ie pre 1999 Cher’s ‘Believe’ was the first commercial hit to feature the effect) which has become something ubiquitous in todays music. It’s worth appreciating in these days, you could either sing the notes, or you couldn’t. And John could.

But bands like cold chisel went to the USA thinking “I sold out Brisbane I will sell out Denver” then when it doesn’t happen they return to Australia and live like kings instead of really going for it.

The reason being, if you're not in the mainstream area for singing (U.S. being the "bigger market/main money", Football (Europe/UK) etc. Then it's biased. People who are still great singers/football players, will be frozen out because of this of fame. EG Sam Kerr, Haaland did not get the highest football ⚽ honour for this reason. Music industry like a few, are notoriously biased/corrupt/taken advantage ripped off. Only now with the I/net is there more exposure for other less known people to be heard.

This concert with MSO was one of the best concerts John ever did. You must also check out “Help” from the encore! John was so amazing live, even up until last year (even in his 70’s), before his surgery for mouth cancer. Farnsey is our hero ❤ Even though John is English by birth, he is a humble man who gave his voice to Australia - the land he grew up in, and we gave him our love right back. John gave up his chance at international stardom to stay in Australia with his family and earned every Aussie’s loyalty forever. The movie of his life will be out later this year. “You’re The Voice” is the unofficial Australian anthem, so just about everyone knows the lyrics by heart, especially those of us who were around in 1986 when it was released. As to your comments about auto tune…… John didn’t do auto tune….his voice is his own, totally natural with no tuning required, and live shows were exactly that… John singing live, maybe not 100% vocally correct, but who cares, his concerts were beyond amazing. He fed off his audience and we gave him what he needed to transcend. I.e. the backup singer with the studded corset is Lisa….John treated his band and backup singers as family, so Lisa has sung with him for over 20 years.

Hi Elizabeth, so excited that you've listened to our wonderful John Farnham! We love John just as much 'over the ditch' here in New Zealand as they do in Australia. Look at how far he holds the mic away, yet loses none of the power of his phenomenal voice. He has an absolutely oustanding voice, is a wonderful and generous person, giving a lot of his time and talent to fundraisers, and last but not least, is very easy on the eyes ;) Recently he underwent surgery and we all hope he makes a full recovery and he can sing again. Life would be a little less brighter without John in it. I hope you have the time to listen to his vreion of 'Help' by The Beatles. It's incredible; you'll never hear that song sung the same way again, or it's meaning expressed so poignantly. Wishing you well from New Zealand :)

His version of the Beatles' "Help" is a spectacular cover done in the original slower tempo that they wrote it at, and the version performed on the same night that this was, is probably the best - it really shows off his unrivalled range, grit and power. Plus - the orchestration backing him is damned near perfectly... well... orchestrated haha His collab with Jimmy Barnes and Diesel on "When Something Is Wrong With My Baby" is also a must - its a fantastic blend of the two Aussie powerhouses and mixing in Diesel's guitar work (and lighter vocal overtones in the live performances) just makes you feel the song to your core. You will be getting lots of these recommendations (and for good reason) in the comments and its because we love our Farnsy and Barnesy here in Aus, but they have well earned our adoration
