If you really wa t to see John's power you need to check out his version of "When the war is over" from his "Last Time" concert. John is 50ish in this, and the emotion he puts into this song is literally breathtaking. You will be blown away by his performance.
It is a beautiful song, and so real, he really hated being away from his family when touring the country. It's one of the reasons he didn't bother striving for international success. He has been well known here since a teenager in the 60's, but didn't even really reach super stardom here until the mid 80's, by which time he was married with kids and simply didn't want to be away for so long. He is an amazing person as well as performer. Great reaction, as always. ❤
Even the bad ones... the early stuff was a bit cringe worthy when he didn't have a say in what he sang...are still the same person still the same personality still the same voice.
Achingly beautiful ballad by one of the world's best ever singers ❤ Can't remember if you've reacted to his version of Led Zeppelin's Black Dog, or his scene in the Garden of Gethsemane from the 1992 production of Jesus Christ Superstar. Completely different music, but his performance in each of them will blow you away!
Feel free to just click on any song of John’s. I personally like the song Age of Reason from the concert with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Another favourite is In Days to Come. There are so many to pick from. Also he sings That’s What Love will Make you do (I hope I got that right). It is John singing some jazz.
You gotta do Angels live with Lisa Edwards. Its a beautiful song with a bit off fun. Age Of Reason is my favourite song if you would like to check it out, live or studio, I don't mind😁😁
Check out the following songs by John, When the war is over, That's Freedom, touch of paradise, any of his on His Whispering Jack Album or his Man of the hour albums ... He is just the ultimate entertainer and can sing just about any Genre of music He also starred as Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar and was amazing. We just love John and he could sing the phone book.
Great random selection, but like you said, you can't go wrong with Farnsey.. Should also check out "Granada" live on stage with another great Aussie singer Anthony Warlow
It doesent matter what genre he sings. He can master them all. And im not kidding. He is definetly one of the best male singers of all time. I truly hope that he gets well again and back on stage where he belongs. He was still a pheonomal singer in his 70 ties. So much better than most singers 30 years younger than him.
Not sure if you've reviewed Age of Reason.... opening song of John's Classic Jack concert with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.... well worth a look, including the intro by the MSO.
Good to see you back and just loved your reaction and comments on this beautiful ballad. This song was all about being on tour and apart from his wife Jill. I think the words Please don’t hang up on me there’s nothing else I know how to do, say it all. John puts his soul and energy into everything he sings. As well as that he’s technically perfect, which makes him the most amazing singer on the planet. One reaction I’d like to see is When the War is over, live The last time, 2003. John’s around 54 here and still singing as great as ever.😊
John can sing anything such a phenomenal voice amazing live performances best way to react to John. Burn I guess you can take it any way to me miss,want, need heartache being away from loved ones. John has never done a bad song. Love When The War Is Over, Gethesmane from Jesus Christ Superstar showing that he really can sing anything.Age Of Reason Please Don't Ask Me with Oliva Newton John beautiful.When Something is Wrong With My Baby live version with Jimmy Barnes. Playing To Win. Great reaction thank you
He co-wrote this for his beloved wife. He has worked since the 60's he said this is really old, "looking through a tear," from his second album. He sang it ages ago and a couple of times since.
Close your eyes and pick any JF song, John delivers every time because he loves what he does,He gives 💯 percent every time. John was born to perform he’s a natural. Aussies have had the privilege to listen to this man, Aussies love him just not for his singing but because he’s a great man
I still want to see you react to "Long Way To The Top" by John - It's an AC/DC cover, and it's excellent fun/////// or if you want another ballard "Angels" is always a great one or "Touch of Paradise" .......John doesn't have any bad songs, and you've only just started.....Love seeing you react to Farnsey CV, because you genuinely enjoy Johns talent like the rest of us do. John is my music god lol
@@jennygavrilovic7415 Absolutely he will be - I was at the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra concert (all those years ago lol) and can tell you that once the concert was over, everyone in the carpark were talking about 2 songs "Long way to the top" and "Help". It was a magical night, the likes of I'll never see again lol
@@roslynjonsson2383 I also was there, it was the best experience ever! Never will forget it. I was 15 yrs old. He also should do We’re No Angels. 💗💗💗💗💗that song.
@@jennygavrilovic7415 So nice to actually chat with another person who was there - not many of us around, especially here in Perth lol.....I have a hard time choosing between MSO concert and The Main Event as my favourite, for obvious reasons - BOTH were nights that I will never forget, and I get excessive goosebumps when I see the video's even all these years later. We were so very lucky to witness such talent and musical greatness. At the moment though, I'm sending half my healing vibes in Jimmy Barnes direction, been sending them to John for the last few months, Jimmy's turn now --- gotta say, I really don't like 2022, lost Judith duram, lost Archie Roach, lost Olivie NJ, Farnsey with jaw cancer and now Jimmy with back and hip surgery, it's all been a bit too much this year, hurry up 2023 and bring better things our way please - enough of the bad crap already lol Oh, and I was 24 lol
@@roslynjonsson2383 yes, I was thinking the same thing! Chain Reaction tour is up close with Classic Jack. I was bummed about missing out on The Main Event as I was in hospital having surgery. I was NOT happy!
Thank you for your great reaction and appreciation of John Farnham I have loved him for 50 years…his phenomenal singing/performing with his amazing band of ‘the best’ musicians!!🎶🎵❤️👍👏
Try these; *when the banners fall *when the war is over (from 2003 the last time tour) *all my sons & daughters *in days to come *I can do anything *treated this way *seemed like a good idea at the time *in your hands *chain reaction *that's freedom There's so many more but those are some of my favourite songs...
He is such a professional. He forgot the words a couple of times and paused. If you don't know the song you would never have known.... Seamlessly covered it up
John wrote this himself, and it tells you everything you need to know about why he knocked back gigs overseas - including front man for Queen after Freddie died. Just wanted to be home with his wife and kids.
Not sure what you have or haven’t done. Essential suggestions IMHO..... Gethsemane.... Australian performance. Long Way to the Top Black Dog.... ( audio only, sorry ) Lifted up by Angels..... duet with Lisa Amazing Grace.... with Vanetta and Lindsay and When Something is Wrong With My Baby..... duet with Jimmy Barnes All should be live ...... lol
He wrote this while on the road, for his wife. ;"Please understand what I do.." His job by definition keeps him on the road, and it really is the only thing he's ever done, from the early 67s when he was breaking into the English market in a musical. He and his wife have been married since a973

I second this
John doesn't do bad songs. Every one is unique and fantastic and he is a brilliant vocalist.
Please watch John Farnham and Olivia Newton-John singing together at the Sydney 2000 Olympics!❤❤❤❤
Could you please react to John Farnham and Olivia Newton John duet "Please Don't Ask Me"...Thanks.
It is a beautiful song, and so real, he really hated being away from his family when touring the country. It's one of the reasons he didn't bother striving for international success.

and still very much in love with his beautiful wife.
For his wife, for being on the road all the time
John wrote this for his wife.
Even the bad ones... the early stuff was a bit cringe worthy when he didn't have a say in what he sang...are still the same person still the same personality still the same voice.
Even back then you could tell there was something special in that voice that went above and beyond the not so cool songs
@@carolynh8866 yes!

Its why he’s called “The Voice” and the “G.O.A.T!💗💗💗💗
Man this dudes voice just hits different. Love a ballad and acoustic performance and no one does it better
Soo good bro
@@CVTECK1 gotta check him out singing “angels” live in 2000 with his back up singer Lisa Edwards his vocals in that one are killer
That’s freedom is special to me. From the chain reaction tour. 💗💗💗💗💗💗
"This dude can sing about rocks and I'm in!" - Cvteck1
All in lol
@@CVTECK1 Australians have known that for 50 years😊❤️🇦🇺we are soooooo lucky.
He is a great voice that can improve any song . He is the VOICE.
I’d listen to Farnsey singing the phone book! 😂
We all would Sandy
Lmao same here sandy 😜
Well, he caught his breath there. Ready now to really sing 🤣🤣 . A great one is his duet with Olivia Newton John. It's called Please dont ask me.
In every song, the audience waits for the singer to hit that special note. In this song, we are waiting to hear THAT note on the guitar!
Feel free to just click on any song of John’s. I personally like the song Age of Reason from the concert with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Another favourite is In Days to Come. There are so many to pick from. Also he sings That’s What Love will Make you do (I hope I got that right). It is John singing some jazz.
This is why john didn't travel overseas much he missed his family while on the road and he didn't like flying
You gotta do Angels live with Lisa Edwards. Its a beautiful song with a bit off fun.
Age Of Reason is my favourite song if you would like to check it out, live or studio, I don't mind😁😁
Age of Reason is my fave Farnham song too! Not many live clips though 😕
@@FionaEm that's why I say live or studio.
Great tune! Hard to believe he uses this for a breather lol

Wb bro, I believe this song was written for his wife, who had a hard time with him being away from home so much touring.
Thank you bro. Damm imagine how she would react listening to that song
John Farnham - Please Don't Ask Me
written for his wife of over 40 years now. The reason he's so rarely heard outside of OZ.
❤️❤️❤️
Our Aussie legend!!!!!
Yep. Always GREAT. Fantastic Songwriter and arranger as well. He IS The Voice. 😊
It's a beautiful song. Great choice. WE love John so much. He's The Voice.

Thank you for your great reaction and appreciation of John Farnham I have loved him for 50 years…his phenomenal singing/performing with his amazing band of ‘the best’ musicians!!🎶🎵❤️👍👏
Watching all these reactions to Farnsey’s songs is reminding me that he has so many wonderful songs. You can’t go wrong with any 🫣
You can't go wrong with any of his songs and live too
Try these;
*when the banners fall
*when the war is over (from 2003 the last time tour)
*all my sons & daughters
*in days to come
*I can do anything
*treated this way
*seemed like a good idea at the time
*in your hands
*chain reaction
*that's freedom
There's so many more but those are some of my favourite songs...
He's come a long way since he was in his late teens with Sadie, the Cleaning Lady.
Cleaning lady?
You haven’t done anything from Jesus Christ superstar yet.
I mean, as always, pick any and they are good but Gethsemane is breathtaking
My favs are Touch of paradise or Comic Conversations. But yeah you can’t really pick a bad John Farnham song. 😊
Have you done John and Tom Jones on hey hey it’s Saturday? a that’s a great one
Great reaction. Great song
I agreed
He is such a professional. He forgot the words a couple of times and paused. If you don't know the song you would never have known.... Seamlessly covered it up
Lol. I missed it my first time so
You need to listen to John Farnham - sound check - Black Dog ; a Led Zeppelin cover - BRILLIANT (as usual)
Mate....we hear you!!! Aussie Love xxx
❤️❤️❤️
"Burn for You"..burning desire 😊
Farnsey could do Ben from MJ or Billie Jean and slay it.
John wrote this himself, and it tells you everything you need to know about why he knocked back gigs overseas - including front man for Queen after Freddie died. Just wanted to be home with his wife and kids.
Can you check out
Matt Corby
Live for triple j

Lifted up by Angels..... duet with Lisa
Amazing Grace.... with Vanetta and Lindsay

Johnny could have conquered the world in the 80s. He chose not to go to America cause he was making so much coin in Australia and the European market
He wrote this while on the road, for his wife. ;"Please understand what I do.." His job by definition keeps him on the road, and it really is the only thing he's ever done, from the early 67s when he was breaking into the English market in a musical. He and his wife have been married since a973
Great song.... I'll sung this to my bride for 20yrs..... Love it
Poor video
Just because he can 😂😂😂
angels
Where's the Gesthamene song that Farnsey sings from Jesus Christ superstar the the musical.
Check,out John singing “ bridge over troubled water”
