    Yes, we adore him and his voice The VOICE. The GOAT. He so deserves all this international attention he is getting now. His voice is so flexible and so versatile and he can sing any genre. His band is just so amazing. Thank you for a fantastic reaction to our beautiful John. He never disappoints and always gives more than 100%. Love you John. The Farnsey family gets bigger every day. He is a Master thats for sure. ♥️🎉🥳💞💗

    He was born in England so we share him with you brother. However John could never leave Australia and he adores his Aussies as we love him.

    Everyone knows what a great vocalist John is, but not many know what a great musician he also is. To be able to deconstruct a song like this and rearrange it the way he did was truly brilliant. Even though he often chose to record songs that others wrote for him, there are also many great songs he wrote himself. And when he does a cover he always brings the Farnsey magic and puts his own spin on it. ❤❤❤

    Thank you, thank you, thank you for coming back to John!!! 😊😊 - and for listening to all of us and listening to his incredible version of Help. I think you can now see a little more why we love him and defend him so much as The Voice. Farnsey is so underated in many parts of the world but we have known how lucky we are and what we have had all along 😊
    Thank you for this lovely and respectful reaction. It has not gone unnoticed- I hope you will listen to more. I would like to suggest maybe his duet with Jimmy Barnes for another side of John again. The song is When Something is Wrong With My Baby. You won't be disappointed. I look forward to more. Liked and subbed 👍 😊

      Thank you for your kind words. I did want to try and do him justice, and to reflect more of him than just his songs; hence the trailer. I have already listened to more of his music, and his version of Help really stood out.
      Thank you for the recommendation, it's on my list to check out

      Thank you for your reply 😊 The documentary does a really good job of showing the ups and downs of John's early career. It also gives a great insight on the person he is and the amazing people who did support him when others wouldn't. The music industry really didn't treat him well. Worth watching if you are keen to learn more 😊
      The reason I suggested this song was not only because it shows off incredible vocals by John, it also shows you the chemistry and relationship of John and Jimmy Barnes. They are great mates and it is clear to see in whichever version you check out.
      Thanks again for taking a deeper dive into John. The water really is fantasic so enjoy the swim 😊​@@BritishDadReacts-ui4jx

    The silly novelty song, 'Sadie,' is both John's blessing and curse! 'Help' is' close to home' for John as he had an awful down time in his career The phoenix that is John eventually rose from the ashes and at the age of 37, with his record album, 'Whispering Jack', he became better and bigger than before. This man's voice is gymnastically brilliant and his delivery is genius !

    There’s John doing his party trick, playing the piano (the only song he can play on the panio) and singing his heart out! Sadie was the first song he recorded and it went to number one on the Aussie music charts. At every concert the audience asks him to sing Sadie! He is the complete performer, he loves his band and his audience, he’s funny, his humanity knows no bounds and we just love him to bits. Thank you for showcasing his amazing talent. At his concerts you feel like you are attending a session in his back yard. He just loves having fun at his concerts and he involves the audience!

    Thankyou for reaction to another great song song of Johns, - the first time John sung 'Help' was 1980 - Royal Charity Gala - Sydney Opera House in front of the Queen and Prince Philip and he has been singing it ever since, I look forward to some more John reactions from you, there is so much to choose from, Here a couple you may like 1994 - You’ll Never walk Alone - ua-cam.com/video/dWTEesb7FrY/v-deo.html and for a bit of fun - Granada (elevates us to high Art) with Anthony Warlow ua-cam.com/video/K6uxFKmCXB8/v-deo.html 1996 (from The Main Event) - Thankyou again,

      Thank you and those videos are great. I think he could have been an opera singer or a stand up comedian (or both 🤣)
      His rearrangements are clever. You'll never walk alone is a song everyone in Britain knows, but he kind of adds something new, which surprised me. I'm definitely learning more about him.

    Tina Turner was spending a lot of time in Australia at the time and she absolutely loved his rearrangement. She also recorded her own version with her own vocal twist. There is a Live version of hers somewhere on UA-cam.

    One of John’s greatest of many attributes is his perfect diction, clarity and pronunciation, you can understand every word he sings, which is quite rare. In my opinion John Farnham is the greatest and most versatile male vocalist of all time, he can sing anything, any genre.
