If there's anything that shows how important good technique is, and how much Farnsy has perfect technique himself, it's the fact that his voice is still just as amazing, just as powerful, just as flexible and with just as much range, even in his mid 70s. Just extraordinary!

This song is a real Protest song and the bagpipes confirm it. They were used to scare the enemy away in olden days too, so this song is perfect for the world today. """We are not going to sit in silence, we are not going to live in fear. We are the voice, make it loud and clear""" Then those bagpipes gurgele up and squeal it out!

@theghost6412 2 года назад

We dont call him "The Voice" for nothing. One of our greatest Legends, and still singing at 70+ years of age. He still has the power in his voice, but due to older age he has lost a little bit of his lung capacity. His band is plucked from all over and each is a legend in their own right with their own bands in the past. His two female backup singers are also Legends in their own right. Lisa Edwards has her own career but works so well in talent and chemistry with John that she routinely helps him in every concert and studio work. Check her out singing with him a song called "Angels". She has the same power and talent that he has, albeit she is slightly shy about it. And as for the Lovely and Legendary Venetta Fields. One of the original Ikkette's for Tina and Ike Turner, as well as singing with so many other big time legends across the globe. She came to Australia to help a few musicians and ended up pairing up with Lisa to sing with John Farnham and spent decades with him. She also never left and lives permanently in Australia and is retired but still teaches singing and does plenty of coaching for up coming singers.

Johnny's version of Help by the Beatles is a favourite of mine. It's a brilliant cover as the tempo is slowed down and the song works SO much better at a lower tempo - either John or Paul said that they had originally wanted to record it slower but for some reason they didnt change it.

Every time he brought out a new album, I was so excited at the prospect of seeing the live tour that inevitably followed. In my opinion, NO ONE could sing live like John Farnham. Even if I wasn’t a fan, I still would have considered it an honour to listen to a voice like that LIVE.

This song is a true anthem for us and you won't find an Aussie who doesn't break into song when this comes on the radio or TV. Unfortunately bon August 23rd 23022 john underwent 12 hour surgery on his throat after the discovery of cancer. He is recovering well which is the main thing, but we are yet to hear whether or not he will be able to sing again, something he loves so much.

Good to see the Legend getting some attention, when Home Free came to Australia they did part of the chorus of this song and everyone in the audience answered just like they did here, it's an unofficial anthem for all Aussies and the message is just as important now as when it was written over 30 years ago. The reason people who want an expert breakdown like this will use this version is because, on studio albums he pulls it back and doesn't give it everything like his does in a live performance. His backup singers have been with him for most of their careers (his and theirs) and when asked if they wanted to go do their own thing, which they're well talented enough to do, they always said "No, we want to stay with John" Great to see an analysis like this Beth, hope to see more John Farnham on your channel in future.

That mine will never be like his makes me envious (but not despondent - I like my voice, it just isn't like his, is all). The beauty and power makes me seriously cry with joy and awe every time I listen to him sing certain songs. Thank you for reacting to him.

John has such extraordinary crowd command. I took my new hubby( not a Farnham fan) to see this performance (@ Melbourne Concert Hall) and by the time the bagpipes came out the entire audience were on their feet clapping along. Even hubby!

When you saw the Bagpiper that's when I broke too. Im an Aboriginal female Australia and I so get it. To hear ones cultural soul music blended in such a production along with the musicality of a big production of music professionals such as an orchestra and band. Let alone the vocal powerhouse on vocals. I totally get it. John Farnham is an Aussie Legend and called The Voice in my country . Loved your reaction to this powerful song's, lyrical and live rendition. Stay well my Sista. : )

I think the backing vocalists deserve a bit of love as well. I’m sure John rode them hard to get what he wanted, but the result is exquisite - just listen to the acapella part. I especially like how perfectly they sync with his prolonged note in the last pre-chorus: ””How long can we look at eachotheeeeeeeerr…”. So sweet. Also, I’m forever impressed with sound engineers who make a perfect mix out of this many sound sources. Not for the faint of heart.

Welcome to the rabbit hole which contains quite a few iconic Australian singers. As many people have already mentioned, John Farnham's version of Help is a must-see. As is the duet with Jimmy Barnes singing 'When Something is Wrong With my Baby.' Then that will open the whole Jimmy Barnes/Cold Chisel rabbit hole. Lots of rabbit holes, but then again, this is Australia.

You would be pleased to know that John Farnham is also a genuine, kind Australian bloke...I remember as a kid his apearances on "Hey Hey its Saturday" in the late 80s and 90s were always alot of fun...he would sing and then stay around for number of segments after....

Gave me goosebumps watching your reaction. This song is iconic here in Australia.

@danielheathcote5625 Год назад

I loved this video so much - I absolutely loved this song growing up. I’m a member of a choir now and they covered this years before I joined it - it came back into our repertoire pre corona. I got to perform it twice pre lock down - a real crowd pleaser! Our choir leader got the crowd to join in - a great feel good to sing song, very motivational, great to really belt it out, and a fantastic song to really challenge male bass! And great with the bag pipes - they make it along with the amazing Melbourne orchestra!

@miskokinoo Год назад

I hadn't realized til now how much of a vocal powerhouse this man is, WOW!! And, by the way, I teared up as well, listening to him and watching you tear up. Thanks! That just healed me after the shitty night I'd had earlier this evening.

@janeeley1604 Год назад

Surprise! The greatest reaction to a fine song ! As an Aussie, John was our hero! Bagpipes are popular here in music too…. Check out AC/DC. I went to this tour in Brisbane. Thanks Beth, you reaction was honest and beautiful!

@teresa8561 Год назад

My understanding is, that John never had formal training as a young man, he is a naturally gifted singer & arguably one of our greatest singers ever!!! A proud Aussie! 🥰

@CC3193 Год назад

No, he didn’t! You’re right. He’s been a singer/ songwriter since he was a boy & has perfect pitch, tone, delivery and always been a natural performer too. It’s sooo impressive to realise as an adult when we grew up with his ‘80s era (my parents grew up in his “Johnny” Farnham era) I love watching his earliest performances when he was starting out.

@wyattfamily8997 Год назад

He started out as a Plumbers apprentice. Correct, no formal training just natural talent.

@DaveHPT 2 года назад

As a (half) Scotsman brought up in Australia I definitely had some kind of emotional response to your reaction to the bagpipes on this one. Loved this. "Reasons" is another great one to check out from John. Jorn Lande has a sensational hard rock version of this track too.

@megachristina12ify 2 года назад

I'm Finnish but I have Scottish blood and I have the same thing: I have some kind of emotional response once the bagpipes appear!

@russellmoore1533 Год назад

When I was 17, John was 19, and the local speedway operator decided to run a music festival at the Liverpool Speedway (NSW), close to where I live. John was just starting out on his long singing career (he is now 73), and the expected crowds didn't arrive, so they refused to let John come on stage because they didn't want to pay him his full fee... I was very disappointed.

@linmonash1244 2 года назад

Can Not Believe You Haven't Heard Farnsie BEFORE !!! OMG! He IS The Voice. Absolute legend. Not the least because he was a Plumber's Apprentice before he launched into singing and has never had a formal vocal lesson. He said he just listened to as many other singers as he could and then just 'tried it out'. Not bad for self taught huh!? He's also a terrific song writer. You should listen to the song he wrote for his wife; " Burn For You' and " Help" ( from this same Concert } and so many more. Enjoy. : )

@Allyson55 7 дней назад

Your reaction made my day. The microphone toss and catch is epic! His interaction with the audience is lovely and his voice exceptional. We love our John.

@kingdomsupes1 2 года назад

So happy you've found John. He is vocally extraordinary and his stage craft is also not to be dismissed. An absolute professional. I was hanging on the edge of my chair waiting for you to reach the bagpipe sequence also. Totally worth it. As quite a few others have mentioned, if you're planning a dive into John Farnham, make sure you check out his cover of "Help" by The Beatles from this same concert. It is a master class. Greatest male vocalist not to be a household name around the world!

@CC3193 Год назад

Us Aussies are loving ‘John Farnham: Finding the Voice’ a docu-film telling John’s amazing story. It was just released this year. I highly recommend you watch it. I laughed when they showed his 1987 tour performance in Germany - they didn’t have a bagpiper, so they just dressed a roadie in a kilt & Scottish get-up & pushed him on stage with the bagpipes to pretend to play the solo for a minute. He had major stage fright though, poor lad 😬 Hopefully he has fond memories looking back now 🤞🏻

@michaelschneider603 2 года назад

I've seen many reactions to this song, but I think this is one of the best, the pure joy on your face when the bagpipes hit was beautiful. Would love to see you react to John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes "When something is wrong with my baby" As they're 2 amazing Australian voices, very differently utilised but together have so much power.
