I hadn't seen this version for a while so thank you...and yes he is a bit of a healer the way he sings. And always lovely to see his regular backup...Chong Lim on keyboard. Warms the heart to see them at just about every performance.
I love this version too, because of Chong, Stevie & Anthony and John's humour. Poor old Stevie Williams LOL!!! That's how I feel about the band - it just feels like we are all part of the same family - love it 😍I can't think of any other performer who makes you feel like this, let alone his voice 🤗
Yes!! You got one to work 👍 There is no wrong version of John singing this song to listen to, they are all fantastic and unique in their own way ❤ Sounds like you listened to a few versions, so you can now see how truly incredible his version of this song is and he nails it every single time. Pure emotion and emence talent. John will always be number 1 to me 😊 Thank you for putting in so much work to get this one up. You are sounding a lot better, so keep looking after yourself. Hi to Bonesy too 👋
😂 cheers Bonesy! Thanks again for reacting to John. I thought of another cover. Alice Copper's Only Women Bleed for something a little different. They used John's version for a domestic violence campaign in Australian the 90's. @Anothercoverlover62
Ah, Beatlemania! What a wonderful time to be a teenager!! I had to go to a drive-in theater to watch "Help" so I could hear it! Too many screaming girls to watch it inside!! These guys blew open so many doors in music for so many! Imagine, Ringo and Paul are in their 80s and still swinging!! I don't think anyone expected the longevity! Glad we got all these years!! I did not expect the Farnham version. "Help" suddenly became a plea, a gospel pleading! OK!!
@@nancyskomars1230 When you watch a video on yt the person who put it on yt gets some money for your view and also some money for the adds that play. When a revue channel like this one uses that content a complicated process goes on over who gets the money. Some record labels and artists just don't want to share even if their video gets more exposure. So they block sites like this from using their content. That's it in a nutshell. It is much more complicated than what I said. So not every vid you like can be used. Sadly the bigger the artist the more hands in the cookie jar wanting their share at all costs even if it would benefit them in the long run. Hope I helped. Greed is the answer to a lot of questions today.
A good try in extenuating circumstances. We Aussies are glad you've discovered the GOAT, John Farnham. He is GOLD ! There is a video clip where John does the fast and slow versions of this song together in a live concert. 'The Main Event ' was the name of a concert series featuring Aussies, John, the wonderful Anthony Warlow and the lovely Olivia Newton-John. For 'another cover' please check out Anthony Warlow singing the heart-wrenching, 'This Is The Moment' (at the same concert) from the musical 'Jekyll and Hyde', compared with another performer. Also, for fun, at the same concert, check out John and Anthony singing , 'Granada' compared to a famous opera singers. (Anthony is opera trained but is mainly known for his huge amount of work in musicals.)
It's weird how youtube can block some reactions but not others with the same song, and it's very annoying for you. I appreciate the effort you made, trying to get this cover out to us. Thank you very much. We just love John so much and want to share his beautiful voice to the world. There's so much more to him though...❤
Many years ago my older sisters dragged me to see 'Help', - there were supposed to take me to see Mary Popins, lol, never mind I liked the Beatles anyway, John has been singing Help since 1980, - I love every rendition he has done, but as others have said, the one with MSO is the gold, - This rendition from the Main Event was 1998, (with a little 'Help' from Anthony Warlow) but also just as good is the one from Chain Reaction Tour, where John sings both 'Beatles' and his own version back to back, ua-cam.com/video/VD5Vt6zx_to/v-deo.html . Enjoyed your reaction, thank you,
Sorry it took so many attempts to get this but it was all worth it for the rest of us. The last part of video didn’t come through unfortunately. But could still hear it. Take care. 🙏🙏🙏
Honestly, it doesn't matter which version you watch, they are all great. John has been performing this song since he first changed the arrangement up and recorded his cover in 1980 as a 30 year old. His renditions of it just got better and better over the years as he added a little something different everytime he sang it with different vocal runs and timing showing us all how real live performances should be done. I'm glad you got to see a few different versions even if you couldn't get any of them loaded up. At least you got to see some of what we all know and love ...He was still sining it in the same key well into his 60's. He sure earned his reputation as The Voice.❤❤❤
Chu can do it man. You worked hard for this one. Well it's a long way to down under to Ark. Nice show our man. ps I left a reply to your comment in Shut up And Kiss me under my original comment. It might help the day?
Oh I'm so sorry you've had so many problems with view 'Help' Half way through the whole thing including you just froze.... Ok even if you don't react to the best version from his concert with The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra....To hear this with that full backing is just beyond imagination so see it for yourself my friend.
@@justlinsu thank you!! I did watch this one you mentioned! Other people said the video froze so I’ll need to redo it. I’ve got a new computer with twice as much “stuff” As soon as I get it all together my plan is to start releasing from that computer Hopefully by Sat!! Thank you!!
@@Anothercoverlover62 No worries..... we Aussies appreciate your interest and support of our Australian artists etc. Don't stress, we'll be here to enjoy it with you.
Hi there. You need to see the one with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra 1989. Its the best. Although this does just show his versatility and humour ❤️☺️
Oh that's a shame. There's one he did live in 1990 where he sang the Beatles version first followed by his. Maybe you could put a cover over it or pause it a couple of times. But you'll enjoy it yourself too. John Lennon said Johns version was how it should be sung but their bosses want to keep it more poppy. Cheers Deb 😂
@@AussieDebb Did that one too!! It was blocked also! I did another that I can’t remember where it was and it was blocked The one that was released finally was number 4!! But I had so many requests for it I had to get it out!!
Enjoyed the reaction, sad you were unable to upload the MSO version. Don't know if it was just me, but the video glitched early in the reaction (basically froze), but was still able to listen. Thank you.
@@Oldbutnotout65 I’m trying update the computer for that reason I freezes every now and then but I’ve not know it to freeze fir the whole video. I ask others as well Thank you!!

@@nancyskomars1230 Ha! I agree
It took me four tries to get one that wasn’t blocked!!
@@nancyskomars1230 didn’t take my response apparently. It took me 4 tries to get a JF response up!!
@@Anothercoverlover62 I truly don't understand the blocking thing. If it's on UA-cam and I can see it, why can't you see it and react?

Hi there. You need to see the one with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra 1989. Its the best. Although this does just show his versatility and humour ❤️☺️
@@AussieDebb thank
You Deb. I actually reacted to that and it got blocked. If it ever becomes unblocked I’ll release it for sure!!
Oh that's a shame. There's one he did live in 1990 where he sang the Beatles version first followed by his. Maybe you could put a cover over it or pause it a couple of times.

Why do we always have to see the one version Deb?
@@rickandersen2284 I just think it's the best - but in my series I've been doing with Paul & Fellipe, I've included quite a few versions 🥰
Enjoyed the reaction, sad you were unable to upload the MSO version. Don't know if it was just me, but the video glitched early in the reaction (basically froze), but was still able to listen. Thank you.
@@Oldbutnotout65 I’m trying update the computer for that reason
I freezes every now and then but I’ve not know it to freeze fir the whole video.
I ask others as well
Thank you!!
Yes froze for me too, ( but glad you mentioned so I know it was just not me)
Same here - but I've watched it so often, I could picture just about everything. I also love the next part where Anthony and John do their jazz show 🥰
