Not his wife.. But if you check every reaction you have done she is there! She has worked for him for decades as well as most of his other crew.. A core of 8 people that toured with him for thirty odd years.. That says something about the man 🇦🇺
The fact that we know Farnsey’s band members by name and the singers have all done duets like this with him is a tribute to the kind of person he is and the kind of person who wants to perform with him
I'm 62, I've been watching John all my life, and I am still amazed at the level of talent, and I still get goosebumps and tear up when I watch him on stage. I'm so grateful to have seen him live in Darwin when he was 70yrs of age. He was still phenomenal, never missed a note.
Me too 🙋♀️ so blessed to have seen him many many times live in Melbourne, & loved his tour family, they must have had so much fun on tour, all beautiful spirits & so loyal to John too.
Lisa was his backing singer for years. She only left when she married and had a baby (I think) He always gives his band opportunities to shine, really nice guy
Yes... she had been married for a while...had the baby and took it to one of the few Farnsey concerts she had missed backing him... (In one of the live tour videos he points her out in the audience with the baby-Danielle Gaha (another enormous talent) steps in for Lisa whilst she's on maternity leave) the whole band are more like a family than most biological families are ! For them to come out of whatever projects they're doing each and every time John decides to either put out another album or tour for over 20+years, speaks volumes for John's character.
@@BELTED007 I think John always chooses likeminded people...the entire band were so down to Earth and approachable for sure - I was lucky enough to meet them all multiple times at concerts here in WA - never a dull moment at a Farnsey concert hahaha
So John has always treated every single person within his team as family. He loves Lisa, but isn't in love with her, same goes for Lisa. She loves John, but isn't in love with them. They always gave the feeling off of being 'Family' to me. I have and always will love their chemisty. PS. Johns music will teach the world how to love without needing to be romantic. Its why we love him down here in Australia. We can love our mates without it needing to be romantic.
And see how far away his mike is. I am just always amazed by his mike technique and his powerful perfect beautiful voice that just never falters. He is a gift to the world 🌎 not just Australia! And Lisa is just delicious and they were meant to sing together ❤️
Shout out to John Farnham. He is batteling cancer and is not a well man at the moment. Us Aussies love him for all the reasons you say in this video. He is a wonderful man.
John is what we call a larrakin in Australia- joker. Before he came to fame in the 60s he was a plumber - working class guy and that’s where his humour and personality comes from. Seeing him live you get more than just music you get a journey. His backing singers are just amazing - Vanetta Fields, Lisa Edwards and Lindsay Field (also guitarist) are great in their own light and compliment John so well.
It’s to Farnsey’s credit that we know them all and their talents and they feel so safe to share the limelight with him when he’s mucking around #larrakin #farnseysalegend
Watching, and re-watching, all of these "Farnsey" reaction videos, it becomes clear John knows how to read people and will sing to compliment the other artists around him to be in the moment with them. It's akin to a conductor deciding to pick up the violin and playing perfectly with his orchestra. Pure mastery he makes look effortless.
Lisa shows the benefit of being a fine vocalist and one of his regular backup singers - and rehearsal. She clings to his vocals like a velcro baby in a fine dress. Now, onto Amazing Grace with Venetta Fields and the rest of the crew.
He’s the best singer I’ve ever heard that the world didn’t get to experience so deserves your rebirth of his talent for people he’s amazing will never date
He got burned trying to perform and make internationally with little River band hence he never wanted to leave Australia again and anyway, didn't need to
The mind-blowing bit of this performance, apart from John's ability to go from clowning around to pitch perfect singing in an instant, is the fact he can hold his mic that far away from his mouth and is still louder than Lisa who's mic is right near her mouth.
Yes, yes, yes! I myself have mentioned many times over the years about his mike technique and how his voice is so powerful that there is no need to actually eat it like many 'singers' of today 😁🤭
Johns Voice is like a fine wine gets better with age. Lisa is one of his backup singers and they got amazing chemistry. Johns Voice is on another level notice how he doesn’t wanna overpower Lisa’s Voice so he draws back the 🎤 a bit
Not his wife, but a perfect vocal match. I was lucky to hear John sing live in 1996 and met him briefly back stage. A highlight of my life ! Your enthusiasm for his talent is contagious! Im a proud Australian and John is a national treasure. X
What makes John so amazing is that he is better live. He is a gentleman, interacts with his fans, has fun on stage. I've had the pleasure of seeing him a number of times live.
Lisa Edwards is a fantastic Vocalist in her own right & as one of his backing singers for 20+ years, is a dear friend of both John & his wife; Jillian. What you are witnessing is the product of two professionals - who have been effortlessly blending their tone timbre pitch & dynamic ranges for so long it's kind of on autopilot. I think that's maybe what you are picking up on; that level of ease & familiarity & obvious affection. But that's just John you know. He just exudes warmth & affection & treats everyone as 'family'. Just another reason why he's so beloved. ...Yesterday I was trundling around my local supermarket & suddenly realised the background music was John singing 'Take The Pressure Down'. I was singing along & I was passing people pushing their trolleys and also singing along - most of them word perfect. And we've all done that several thousand times. But you see... HERE'S THE THING:- Farnsie is such a solid part of our background 'musical landscape' that it wasn't until I started SEEING HIM AFRESH recently through NON Aussie eyes & ears - like YOURS - that I have now gained a whole fresh appreciation of just what a Vocal Master he is. Not only does a whole new focus sharpen my own focus - but your DELIGHT in our John absolutely DELIGHTS US ALSO! So THANK YOU for that! I do hope John is aware of and also enjoying these reactions to his music - Particularly YOURS!
John Farnham singing is uplifting for the soul. I heard him sing a Led Zepplin cover today and wow. I always refer to Farnsy as the singer's singer. That is why the talents like Celine Dion, Tom Jones, Anthony Warlow fangirl over him.
Yeah I just listened to it too. Bloody he'll he is one one the very few who can pull off Plants singing perfectly, although naturally he put his own nuances in.
John Farnham…….what can I say that others haven’t? No,you say it all. The best singer and talent in the world. His songs and voice can make me me teary at times. Proud he’s an Aussie. 👍
This is one of the best duets I think I’ve ever heard. Flawless vocals. And I absolutely, genuinely love this song. Is the kind of song where anybody could sing it and I would still love it.
John's mic technique is flawless as well. He knows exactly how far to hold it out from his mouth when he goes for the big notes so it is perfectly modulated. That's an under-rated skill that comes with a lot of experience.
Might be that Lisa was nervous at being front and centre and John was goofing around to put her at ease. His career has had so many incarnations that he can probably relate to someone being nervous. I remember him as a young heart throb popstar 'Johnny Farnham', then as a musical theatre success in Pippin, and as a pop/rocker whose career has ebbed and flowed. Humour has kept him relatable to both audience and professional peers for decades.
Sigh wish he would comeback. He’s our favourite Aussie singer. I consider him The “G.O.A.T.”( greatest Of All Time!) My top Aussie singer. ❤️ him to bits! He is a funny, kind man.
All these Aussie performers you look at honed their craft on the Pub circuit where there was nowhere to hide. You were either really good or unemployed and they played 5/6 nights a week to make a living. No UA-cam, no Instagram just talent, hard work and dedication to their craft. No recording deals cos you had “hits” you just had to be bloody good and build a following by performing.
I love that you’re seeing his funny/silly side too. In conjunction to the amazing voice you’ve discovered him to have, he’s a very genuinely nice guy who shows & gives back the love to his fans/audiences that you know he very much GETS from them. Loving your analyses of his performances.
John's ability to perform, not just as an incredible vocalist but as a prankster/joker, it's evident he was just born to do it and make everyone enjoy the moment....damn super-legend if ever there was :)
John's wife is named JILL, I think she was a dancer & he met her on a stage production when he was young. Lisa Edwards, they have a long standing working & friendship relationship. They searched all of Australia for a voice to match with John, and this is the talented person they found. Vanetta, Lindsay & Lisa together display outstanding vocals & compliment John on stage, as you have probably seen, he also has had amazing musicians too! From memory, Lisa released a single of her own and John was her backup singer, that is the respect & love he has of his 'family' of artists.
John is an exceptional talent who did not get the world 🌎 wide recognition that he deserves. But he is also a humble, wonderful person, and I personally really enjoy ☺️ your reaction and knowable critique. Please keep up what you are doing. Spreading the music talent.
I'm so glad I found your channel. I grew up in Australia seeing John Farnham on the TV and hearing him on the radio... BUT because of your channel, I'm getting to hear and see other songs by John that I've never seen or heard before, and it's made me become a fan of his all over again... Thank you so much for bringing your reactions to his voice, it really does make us feel proud to be an Aussie 👍
Since you’ve started on the “John jamming with his backing vocalists” kick, you must watch his phenomenal amazing Grace with Venetta Field and Lindsay Fields
@@crystalborg3706 Glad you enjoyed it! Venetta’s career is like the storyline of a film. She’s just incredible, and you hear every last second of that experience in her voice.
My father and I sang this song together while my cousin did sign language for the family at Xmas once when I was little. Everytime I watch a reaction old memories from old songs flood back. Thanks.
Since your reaction to Two Strong Hearts I’ve been watching back through that whole Chain Reaction concert…. Seriously, in your spare time, just go through it - Awesome show! Especially when John sings Playing To Win - I don’t know what’s better about it, the hype he has when performing that song, or his keyboardist absolutely shredding on the keytar - Amazing!
I’ve seen John in concert so many times I can’t even count. We played his songs at my mums funeral and it was a perfect send off for her! He’s an Icon 🙏
Gorgeous Lisa has been backing John from when he has Johnny!! She is just as lovely in true life as she appears and has a sweet daughter too. John would be the best boss and a wonderful husband to Jill and a fantastic Dad to his 2 grown up sons.
He's amazing singing the part of Jesus in the Australian cast recording of Jesus Christ Superstar. That's some melt your face off singing. Jon Stevens also does an incredible job.
Mate I just found your channel and I love seeing people discover aussie greats like John and Jimmy Barnes , John is a special in every sense of the word and his love for his band, nay family that he tours with, he loves to elevate them. the bloke is 72 and can still kill it on stage.
This is the kind of video,that makes you want to go back and listen to again straight away. If John hadn’t been a Singer, he would have been a wonderful comedian but thankfully for us he’s got that magical voice. 🎼❤️🇦🇺❤️🇺🇸🕺🏻💃🎸☘️
Not his wife, his wife’s name is Jill & broke Aussie girl’s hearts when he married her in the early 70’s. His mother in law jokes are hilarious because we all know he adores his mother in law really😆
This is the most perfect raw vocal performance right through all the ranges... you still gotta do John Farnham "Please Dont Ask Me" maybe the live version of it
There's a live version of Please Don't Ask Me from "The Midday Show" where he had no warning. They just handed him a mic at the end of the interview and told him his mother-in-law had sent in a request.
Lisa originally auditioned as a flautist for JF band but got to sing backing and songs like this. Both are from my town Adelaide ( I am a professional guitarist and guitar builder here ) Both are just great and not fake people. She is not his wife.Currently concerned about John's mouth cancer. We just want him to live- may not hear those golden pipes again. Obviously Lisa is concerned, we all are, she is; like all others , perfect in her timing.
I love your reactions btw and one thing I would like to point out to you is , John is his own sound engineer you may not yet have noticed the way he moves his mic closer and farther away from his mouth to make his volume changes smooth to the ear, and we are talking millimetre accuracy in micro movements whilst singing at the same time, he is such a legend and thank you so much for pointing out many of his other talented skills.
I love watching your reactions to amazing Aussie singers I forget there are people in the world who don’t know Johnny Farnham! He’s an Australian staple ! My first concert was him ( now listen to Sadie the cleaning lady , just for a laugh )
Here for the Johnny Farnham content! First concert I ever went to was John Farnham's first retirement tour, "Last Time" in Sydney 2003 when I was 11 years old and it is still to this day the best I have ever been to. So so lucky to see this legend live!
Lisa has been one of John's backing singers for many years. John's wife's name is Jill. I've had the pleasure of meeting John & Jill a couple of times, they are absolutely wonderful people.
Have you heard Sadie, the cleaning lady, yet? It’s one of his first songs. I grew up listening to this man. He’s brilliant. Love seeing your reactions.
Not his wife.. But if you check every reaction you have done she is there! She has worked for him for decades as well as most of his other crew.. A core of 8 people that toured with him for thirty odd years.. That says something about the man 🇦🇺

@@BELTED007 I think John always chooses likeminded people...the entire band were so down to Earth and approachable for sure - I was lucky enough to meet them all multiple times at concerts here in WA - never a dull moment at a Farnsey concert hahaha
She is still his backing singer.

no flashing lights or other things just pure talent
No Melodyne or Auto-Tune. Just damn talent.
Looks like the majority of new subscribers are us Aussies. Because we love our Farnsey. ❤️
We’re happy you’ve discovered his voice.
me too ,you folks take talent to a whole other level :))))))))))
Go Farnsey & Barnesy 🇦🇺
I'm a Kiwi, but. Lol
John is a gift from God...his beautiful voice is so healing 💖
He brings tears to my eyes and makes me proud to be Australian......I love him.❤🐨

He is batteling cancer and is not a well man at the moment.

You’ve rekindled my admiration for him and his limitless voice . Thank you
Lisa has the voice of an angel. She was his backing singer for many years.

And he even holds the mike away when singing with Barnsey so he doesn't drown out one of the most powerful voices on the planet.
Johns Voice is like a fine wine gets better with age. Lisa is one of his backup singers and they got amazing chemistry. Johns Voice is on another level notice how he doesn’t wanna overpower Lisa’s Voice so he draws back the 🎤 a bit
Thats the professional in him. But they work in sync ff each other so beautifully.
And he still over powers. He’s amazing
He had to do the same when he did the duet with Celine Dion

John at his goofy best, and loved Lisa. Shows the strength of their friendship and trust as artists, they make it look so easy.

My FAVORITE concert, every song is perfection and the energy is incredible
I love these John Farnham reactions. Keep'em coming. Love your work.

True harmony, beautiful
Played this at my Mama's funeral,,, beautiful and so sad at the same time! She loved JF
Lisa has been with him a long time and their voices blend beautifully together. I’m enjoying your appreciation of beautiful music by our John.
hahahahaha oh ma word.Am here to read nice comments about John and Lisa.
great vid, Johnny is an absolute Aussie weapon. Just used this song for my dads funeral pictures. was perfect
John is the ultimate performer! So talented 👍
Lisa Edwards is John’s long time back up singer. He has been married to Jilly forever.
Not his wife, his wife’s name is Jill & broke Aussie girl’s hearts when he married her in the early 70’s. His mother in law jokes are hilarious because we all know he adores his mother in law really😆
When the time comes, he will sing with the Angels in heaven!
This is the most perfect raw vocal performance right through all the ranges... you still gotta do John Farnham "Please Dont Ask Me" maybe the live version of it
Yeah even the live performance he does with Olivia Newtown John the chemistry is unbelievable

Both are from my town Adelaide ( I am a professional guitarist and guitar builder here ) Both are just great and not fake people. She is not his wife.Currently concerned about John's mouth cancer. We just want him to live- may not hear those golden pipes again. Obviously Lisa is concerned, we all are, she is; like all others , perfect in her timing.
His lead support singer for many years…..they are really great. He’s a giving performer who always acknowledges his musical back up.
I love your reactions btw and one thing I would like to point out to you is , John is his own sound engineer you may not yet have noticed the way he moves his mic closer and farther away from his mouth to make his volume changes smooth to the ear, and we are talking millimetre accuracy in micro movements whilst singing at the same time, he is such a legend and thank you so much for pointing out many of his other talented skills.
I never tire of this one thankyou
Damn they are exactly on the same wavelength each pitch is perfectly synchronised
WOW 😩😩😩 smooth voice
Nick I love watching you react to John Farnham. I feel you! ❤
Thanks for replying to my request Nick, I’ve sent you the “Chain Reaction” live concert dvd. Cheers
I love this song!!
I love watching your reactions to amazing Aussie singers I forget there are people in the world who don’t know Johnny Farnham! He’s an Australian staple ! My first concert was him ( now listen to Sadie the cleaning lady , just for a laugh )
Here for the Johnny Farnham content! First concert I ever went to was John Farnham's first retirement tour, "Last Time" in Sydney 2003 when I was 11 years old and it is still to this day the best I have ever been to. So so lucky to see this legend live!
You're amazing how you get through your comments!! Your channel's fantastic, vey entertaining & heart warming to watch.
Mate this was so good and I'll be playing this video a few more times today, thanks Singer.
Lisa has been one of John's backing singers for many years. John's wife's name is Jill. I've had the pleasure of meeting John & Jill a couple of times, they are absolutely wonderful people.
Have you heard Sadie, the cleaning lady, yet?
It’s one of his first songs. I grew up listening to this man. He’s brilliant. Love seeing your reactions.
