John migrated to Australia as a very small child. He grew up here and considers himself Australian.
I think John created his version of "Help" in 1979. John and Olivia migrated to Australia as children. John was honoured with Australian Of The Year. The highest honor that can be given to any Australian.
And received the Order of Australia which is the equivalent of being knighted .
He first sang that version of Help in 1980 it was at a royal performance here in Australia. I was a massive fan so I remember watching that performance on TV. So I would say you are right about 1979 being the year he created that version. He also was Australian of the year in the 80's, I think it was 1988.
We miss John' talent SOOOO much!
It was great seeing a photo of him with his family at Christmas and seemed like he was recovering well after his battle with cancer. Hope he is able to sing again but if not Thank You Johnny for giving free tickets to the hospital staff in Geraldton Western Australia so many years ago where I fell in love with this song. Loved the bagpipes . I think it was referring the Vietnam War.
I worked at that concert which I recall as being 1989, and John sang Help as a final encore, and despite having sang for 90 mins, was still able to belt out a rocking finish. ❤
Congrats on your 1000th and glad your pop enjoyed it.
There were four encores at this concert :- Touch of Paradise was the first, followed by Help, then Sadie and It’s a Long Way to the Top
A granny in Australia says...loved watching your Dad entranced by the incomparable Farnsey. You are like two peas in a pod, spitting images...this is pretty Aussie, your Dad will never be dead while you are alive! Lovely that you keep company.
Granny here in Oz too and you said my words for me..
Happy to oblige Susan, and best wishes to you and yours.
Granny again...thank you for paying Farnsey the compliment of being your choice for your 1000th. Kudos to him in spades!
I'm British born Australian citizen and now 83yr old. I am now a NATURALIZED CITIZEN OF AUSTRALIA
No-one in their right mind would ever consider John anything other than Australian, the same with Olivia Newton-John. John was chosen as Australian of the Year back in ‘86.
John would totally agree.
All the performers you named plus Bon Scott, Jimmy Barnes, Billy Thorpe and many more were born in other countries but started and developed their musical careers here
The best message /protest song ever.. Will never be surpassed. All of John's songs are just astounding. UA-cam has videos of just about everything.
For your dad’s info, the bagpiper was wearing the Australian Military tartan.
You look like you've given your dad a present that you're 99.9% sure he's going to enjoy. I hope you both had a good festive season. I've always thought the seekers "we are Australian" explains the dynamic of not (always) Australian but Australian anyway.
The song that restarted Farnswy’s career. Check out some earlier stuff especially Baby Without You with Allison Durban when they were king and queen of pop.
Farnsey does versions of his fave AC/DC song It’s A Long Way to the Top as well as his fave Cold Chisel Song When The War is Over. These are extra songs on the cd of You’re the Voice.
Have a wonderful Christmas x
Would love you to sit with Dad and do Paul Kelly's how to make gravy next year on the 21st of December and watch the 2021 video featuring Aussies in lockdown
What a voice and incredible entertainer.
"Help" was the encore at that concert.
Fun Fact:
The decision to add the Bag Pipes meant that the whole song had to be re-arranged because the Bag Pipes only play in B Flat.
The original song was in the key of F.
The consesious later was B Flat worked so much better.
Mikey I love that you chose the full version (maybe from the DVD I sent you a very long time ago?? ❤)- never seen another reactor do the full version so much respect to you!!
😉😍
Agree!
So if we got a picture of you, next to a picture of your dad at your age, would you look like identical twins? Love your dad and it's easy to see why you're so nice, apple/tree and all that. Congrats on 1000 videos Mike, have a safe and beautiful Christmas, love ya! ❤
John and his family moved to Australia, when he was ten years old
This was the last song of the concert. But then came the encore and it was "Help".
if for no other reason, Johns love for Australia would make him Australian, He was made Australian of the year!!
Other unofficial national anthems are:
The Seekers, 'I am Australian'
Peter Allen, 'I still call Australia home'
Waltzing Matilda is also a favourite.
John Farnham is a national treasure.
G'day dad😃
John is the only singer I know where the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra needs to keep up with him!!
Get on his level 😂
Both Johnny and Olivia had very Australian accents and it is not something people find easy to imitate so they may have been born in the UK but have been here for the majority of their lives. Don't forget many Australians have come from "convicts" or from those who came out from the UK on the 1st or 2nd fleet. Freddie Mercury was from India.
Merry Christmas everyone 🎄😊❤️🇦🇺👍🏼
Olivia Newton John was only five when her family emigrated to Australia so she's very much an Australian.
Great intro for your father to the legendary John Farnham; another great song to show your dad, would be John's version of The Beatles classic song Help with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
Was that the edge of a smile on your dad's handsome face when the bagpipes started? Love watching you two together. I’d love to see your dad react to It's a Long Way to the Top.
John was selected as Australian of the Year in 1987. When this was happening, they discovered that immigration law changes (that slipped by many Brits) had removed John's dual citizenship. They had to rush to get John naturalised in time.
Thank you for listening to the whole song before talking about it. So many people play a little, then they talk, then they play some more. Dad might also enjoy 'Burn for You'. John wrote it to his wife to explain how he feels when he's on the road, away from home
Congratulations on reaching 1000 reactions. Keep up the great work. Nice touch with doing john farnham. Good luck with your next 1000.😊😊😊
Yes, there were encores... Glad your Dad enjoyed John. You could up fill up the whole holiday with John wonderful performances. I'll be watching for when you show him more. Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🌲🎵💕
We all love Johny farnham. I think l mentioned before my mother's ex use to go to his party's back when they both were younger. And l use to drive by his old property in the outer skirts of Melbourne. Such a voice. ❤ You and your dad look like father and son ❤ that's for sure ❤p.p.s the background frame of trees is awesome. It reminds me of ghost gums. They are from the eucalyptus and have white trunks.
Haha, the encore was actually Help!
Wow, meeting your Dad it’s easy to see why you’re such a good bloke, Mikey. The apple has fallen very close to the tree. Merry Christmas to you both xxx
He is gunna love "Help", just saying. Nice reaction and have a great Christmas.
Congrats on 1000 videos mate, would love to see you and your dad react to I was only 19 by Redgum and also I am Australian by the seekers, I think he would enjoy both songs.
As for You're the voice it is John saying you are the voice to stop domestic violence from happening, I also think it would fit perfectly with the American kids that have had to deal with school shootings saying we are the voice and we have to stop more of it from happening.
Hey big mike .loving this from Sydney Australia. ❤❤❤❤ yeah john farnham ❤ still the best..❤
Congratulations on your 1000th reaction gotta love Farnsey. All blessing for you and your family for 2024. May you have joy and peace fill your lives
One thousand videos dow,n hopefully thousands to come!. Merry Christmas mate.
Yes, 4 more songs after this.
Revisiting You're The Voice brought me such joy! I saw your original reaction to John's live performance and loved it so much I watched it several times. Thank you for playing the version with the boy soprano and his beautiful clear voice. I saw this concert when the tour played in Brisbane, and it remains one of my favourite concert experiences.
Your Dad nailed it when he said that newcomers adopt their new country as their home. I suspect they often love their adopted home even more loyally and passionately than those born here.
Hey Big Guy, good to see you survived the initial storm and surfaced with the old bloke in tow. Have a great Christmas, the both of you, and get to work on the next 1000.🍾🍺🥃
So good to see you review John for this show. ❤ merry Christmas 🎉
Merry Christmas to you gentlemen! May the sun always shine gently on your shoulders ❤

Congratulations on 1000! So excited you picked Farnsey!
Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a happy new year. ( farnsey came to Australia when he was about 10 years old so that makes him a full fledged Aussie)
Great to see you and your Dad. Two peas in a pod. Have a wonderful Xmas and thanks for this reaction. 🎄

Thank you for sharing John Farnham with your dad. Glad to see that he enjoyed it.
"Help" is the encore
Four encores:- Touch of Paradise was the first encore, followed by Help and then Sadie and finally It’s a Long Way to the Top
@@Dr_KAP only mentioned Help because it was the one Mike was excited for his Dad to see as well

Merry Chtistmas Mikey and to you Dad. ❤️
Another good video buddy hope you had a great xmas and all the best for the new year mate take care on the roads if you're travelling over the Christmas holidays big fella
I think when people move to a country as a kid they become citizens & grow up with the culture. Different when adults move
We are a country of immigrants mate😊. For an Aussie Christmas may i suggest
Paul Kelly's 'who's going to make gravy'
Tim Minchin 'white wine in the sun'.
Nice channel 🥂🎄🎁
It was written after the Port @Arther massacre
I would love your Dad to listen to the studio version of When Something Is Wrong With My Baby with Jimmy Barnes. Happy New Year.
Yes, most people say the live version is better but when it comes that song I love the studio version.
@@krpurple2678 I agree with you 100%. I always prefer JF live but on this one occasion I prefer the studio version - it’s magical,
He probably came back and did Sadie.
John was 11 years old when they moved to Australia so was newton John I can not spell her first name so technically he is a Aussie and by the way John was the first person that they asked to join Queen but he turned them down
How are his lives better than the recordings 🤯
What... dad hadnt heard it yet.
We are NATURALISED as Australian when you come from another country and MOVE HERE PERMANENTLY
John Farnham has been Australian of he Year. That’s means he’s Australian
🤗He was Australian of the year.💋💋💋💋💋AccaDacca,s original video 👍of Long Way to the Top 💋if you want to Rock and Roll.💕Has bagpipes in it.💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💕💋💋💋💋💕💕💕💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
John Farnham was 10 when he migrated to Australia and Olivia Newton John was 5. They did not come to Australia as adults. Their formative years were in Australia. The Bee Gees lived in Australia coming from the UK in 1958, they started their band in Australia. When they arrived in Australia Barry was 14 and Maurice and Robin were 9. It isn't like for instance an adult coming from another country to live here, we do not claim adults as Australian if they come from another country. John Farnham and ONJ always claimed they were Australian and they are very proud Australians, they never claimed their British Heritage. It really is up to individuals who come here to live if they want to call themselves Australians and seek Australian citizenship. I have never heard John Farnham or ONJ claim they were British, they always called themselves Australian.
Everything you have said is correct except Barry Gibb was 12. The Bees Gees became the Bee Gees here and little did I know until recently just how many songs Barry wrote for Australian artists when he was so young. Cole Joy, Jimmy Little, Ronnie Burns as well as Olivia and Samantha Sang. Another thing that annoys me is when people say Keith Urban is a Kiwi. He came to Australia when he was 2. He can't remember anything about NZ. So annoying.
B@@TheBrownlj Barry Gibb was born in 1946 and he came to Australia in 1958 so how is saying he was 12 wrong? Maybe he was 11 depending what time in 1958 he arrived if not 12 then 11 perhaps. They lived in Queensland, I'm a Queenslander. I remember them as children singing in Australia. I agree with you about Keith Urban.
@@sueclarke6298 you said he was 14 so yes you are wrong. He was 11 or 12 depending on which month they arrived. Think you better re read your post luv.
@@TheBrownlj I did. I thought I said 12, my mistake. Sorry about that.
@@TheBrownlj no need to be passive aggressive by calling me 'luv'. I will admit when I have made a mistake.
Thought he was your older brother.
Great song, yes, but IMO "Khe Sahn" is the unofficial Aussie national anthem.
he performed Help as an oncore the last song
