Aboriginal Aussie here. John is The Voice in Australia. We all wish him well in his recovery after surgery for cancer. He is our National Treasure. This man can sing. Sub because of your respectful reaction. Aussie will flock when you show respect mate. Lets see more hey : )

A granny in Australia says...following your lead. Respect is an under-rated word. I am, you are hey : )

He literally is known as ‘The Voice’ in Australia, truly one of the best male singers ever. He is an Australian legend

Never go sick of watching or listening to this concert version of Your The Voice with the MSO

No one can sing this like him. He is our national treasure and I'm sure you will recognise him as an international treasure soon enough. Have you seen him singing this l8ve in Germany 110000 crowd? Soooo good. Another really good one is That's Freedom - watch John live because you get all his emotion and grittiness xxx

I automatically give a sub to reactors who appreciate the awesome talent of our John Farnham. Once you discover him there is no going back.

John Farnham can sing alright, mate! He sings around A2 to G5, can sing in over twenty genres, has been in the business for five to six decades and has a very powerful and clear voice . These are some of the reasons that he is known as 'The Voice' in Australia and is regarded as rock royalty. There are a large number of his songs to choose from on video. Always see and hear John LIVE as he shines in concert and to get a taste of his personality. John is charismatic, energetic, playful, funny and a consummate professional. He is well-loved in Oz as you can see by the response of his audience. Our best wishes, thoughts and prayers go to him in this challenging time of his recovery after undergoing major surgery. PS. Please call him John as he dislikes being called Johnny.

I love watching the appraisals of JF and You're the Voice. Every presenter, voice coach, looks so joyful and happy. Me too! Always. E❤

I feel like not enough people notice his mic throw, haha

Charki40 Aboriginal Aussies and John Farnham are our National Treasures in my opinion. Love and Peace to all.❤ 🐨😘🦘

There’s not a genre that Farnsy can’t sing. Greatest vocalist and performer hands down.

The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra loved playing for John. Everyone did. Don’t call him Johnny, just John and he is our Legend. He is known as the Voice in Australia.

Thank you for this! Awesome!! Agree with Carolyn you need to check out Help from this same concert. He slows it right down and so it’s a good one to appreciate his vocal genius. He can sing any genre, has a 3 octave range and has sung with the likes of Ray Charles, Tom Jones, Celine Dion and more!

He is currently recovering from surgery to remove mouth cancer I heard they had to remove some of is jaw bone. Get well soon John.

Much appreciate your great reaction. Nothing better then watching someone react and enjoy watching the voice singing you’re the voice. Yes he is more important to us then the queen by far he is a national treasure. I would suggest reacting to John singing a cover of the Beatles song “help” live at this same concert

He really can sing anything, watch him and Anthony Warlow singing Granada it shows his talent and personality

John Farnham is as good as it gets!! He is an absolute legend and the nicest bloke you could ever meet. Try watching John sing this at 70 years of age in 2019 with Cold Play he is as good as ever!!! And the crowd of mainly 20-30yo’s know every word of it and absolutely love him. I seriously cannot say enough positive things about John.

Fantastic reactions Geoff … John is an amazing singer 👏👏👏

John farnham is one in a billon singers. He should have been more notised world wide. He can master any kind of genre to perfektion. 110% live performer. Get well soon mr Farnham and back on stage again where you belong. ❤ PS THIS song was a world wide hit for him back in 86-87. And the album is still to this day one of the most sold album in Australia.

He would have been a star worldwide except staying in Australia close to friends and family was more important to him. They only had a contest to find a replacement for Freddie Mercury because John was asked first and declined.

Even though this is a powerful anthem it still manages to bring forth tears. If we can do only one thing to help this world is "dont sit silence"

GREAT reaction and what a way to win the Aussies over. He is THE Voice... Literally what everyone here in Aus calls him. He is a living legend and one of Australia's most loved entertainers with number one hits spanning consecutive decades from the 60's right up till 2016. And in his 70's could still belt out his iconic songs with as much power as he could in his 20's and 30's. This was his most famous song but There is so much more for you to discover. Would love to see you react to his arrangement of the Beatles Classic HELP from this same concert. You will be blown away and probably won't recognise it as a Beatles song after the Farnsey do over.. 🔥 🤜

EVERYONE needs this song in their life

He has filled this venue 97 times, they even named a room after him.

John just announced that he is free and clear of Cancer Congrats John

I have seen a few reactions of this vid, and only one reactor has ever caught John throwing the mike stand in the air and then catching it.

His live performances are always best. He gives that bit extra to his audience that makes it special. Any song by him is great. He can outperform anyone live. He also has a great sense of humour, a very funny guy and totally genuine.

One of Australia's great national treasures, John is now 73 years of age and recently had to undergo major surgery on cancer that was discovered in his mouth. We all hope and pray he will be able to sing again. One of the genuine nice guys in the music industry here in Oz...

Fantastic song.love it in studio or live

'You're the Voice' is his most well known song, but there are so many others that display his true vocal ability. Which is phenomenal. 'Gethsemane'- the last night in Sydney, 'Black Dog'- a sound check, 'When Something is Wrong With My Baby'- Live on Hey Hey it's Saturday with Jimmy Barnes. 'Help' live from that same concert is a must.

I saw this live absolutely Brilliant and Awesome

John is just amazing!!!! He has been entertaining Australia since the 1960s! Love him!!

G’Day Mate I can not over state what John is to Australians , not only is he one of the greatest vocalist and performers of all time but one of the nicest person you would ever meet. If he needed a kidney transplant you would be crushed in the rush to give him one. I just subbed, so keep those John Farnham reactions coming. Some songs to consider: Help with the MSO,Freedom,Burn for You Touch of Paradise, Romeo’s Heart, The Simple Life. “When the War is Over” 2003 last time tour will blow you away.

John is a National treasure here and is so very much loved by everyone. He’s an incredible singer, a great comedian and the loveliest person ever. The whole nation is affected by his health crisis - he’s just so very loved.

I’m joining the others here in screaming: watch HELP from the same MSO concert. It was so much fun seeing you enjoy this and we all know you’ll love that one too 😊

So many Aussie acts are better live than recorded and overproduced

He is so important to us 🇺🇸..this song came out before I turned 10 so it is a classic.great reaction.new sub

I just saw you react to this video and subscribed. I first saw him when he was in Little River Band. Loved his singing. Had a baby in 95 and listened to them while walking the treadmill to lose the baby weight. Heard about his health and the last few days just went down deep in the rabbit hole learning about John before and after LRB. I’m still in the 80s and that will always be my fav music. Get well wishes for John and his family.

Well done!

Johns's version of Black Dog is a revelation. Also if you like a bagpipe check the AC/DC 'Long way ro the top' film clip with Bon Scott .

John is a legend love him and his songs.

Great reaction! A great song and an amazing singer! Yes, please react to "Help" performed by John at the same concert. It is one of the best interpretation of the Beatles song.

John Farnham is in my opinion the best ever because he can sing any genre, he has a heap of range and he brings in that grit when he needs. Even when he hit 70 he sounded like he was still 40, amazing. John sings for his fans and for the love of singing, he really enjoys interacting with the crowd and even hits the high notes bending down shaking hands, just awesome. Yes John is an Aussie legend but he is loved just as much over here in New Zealand. He's not called THE VOICE for nothing he has such a unique voice. Some other popular hits of his you'll want to hear are THAT'S FREEDOM kzread.info/dash/bejne/fIue1s6Gcs-ZiNI.html, WHEN THE WAR IS OVER kzread.info/dash/bejne/dJmfxNilfN2zh8Y.html. Oh and Your The Voice is considered Australia's unofficial anthem.

This is not cheesy in any way at all. John Farnham is the best singer ever.

Plenty of other Aussie legends, need some Cold Chisel, Midnight oil, Baby animals, the Divinyls, Hunters and collectors, Paul Kelly, soy v spy, the Choirboys, the Angels. For the start of your education try cold chisel Bow River live

The only Australian singer to have top 10 hits in 5 consecutive DECADES.

What a wonderful reaction.

John Farnham is “The Voice”

He was 18 then:- kzread.info/dash/bejne/l46ZtM-ppqbQddo.html By the way he is known down here as THE VOICE.

He's currently recovering from 12 hours surgery for mouth cancer and we all send him our best. This concert had so many great song from his fantastic version of the Beatles Help which you have to react to to an amazing cover of the ACDC hit it's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll. The first John Farnham song I remember hearing is Sadie the Cleaning Lady, damm I'm old, which is the most 60's bubble gum pop song you've ever hear and still a fun listen.

Love the mic stand toss. A lot of people miss it. 5:23 😊

Omg that's the best reaction by far I'm glad you love John as much as we (us aussies) do xx ❤❤💔🥺 I sing along to this song and all his songs every time, being Australian "you're the voice" is our unofficial anthem & has been for 36yrs now ❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥰 Loovee John with all my heart & yesss he IS the VOICE!!! He means so much to all us Aussies xx when I heard he had cancer my heart sank💔🥺 but I hear he's recovering very well from surgery (he had some of his jaw removed) but he probably wont ever sing again but I'm glad he's doing good xx Check out Robbie williams singing "you're the voice" at AFL grand final he tribute the song to farnesy who was watching from his hospital room & was very touched by Robbie's performance 😢 tbh it made me cry xx but yeah check it out...

Hi from Australia. John is a fantastic vocalist, but then we have an awful lot of amazing vocalists and bands. Anyway, hope you enjoy any exploration of Aussie music you do

If you think that’s good, being at a live concert as most of commenting have seen him live - is SO much better - 50 years of John entertaining us here - how dam lucky are we. I bet others have described here, why he’s sadly stopped performing in his 70s 💞

Great reaction bud. I grew up listening to that voice. Not sure if you have heard but John is having throat cancer surgery at the moment. We are all hoping he makes a full recovery. I would really appreciate it if you could react to any of the many artists and even ads that have been produced since the seekers first realised the song I am Australian a wonderful song that gives all Aussies so much pride

I subscribed in the hope you will listen to John sing Help live with the Melbourne Orchestra, also live him and Jimmy Barnes "Something is wrong with my baby"

He is a great singer, and hopefully he can continue, he has just had a cancer removed from his mouth, with a jaw being reconstructed.

He hasn't gone by "Johnny" in 50 years. I have seen John perform LIVE and it was fantastic. While the studio versions are great, the LIVE versions are better.

John does this song every performance for the last 37 years and especially every Benefit Concert thrown together to raise funds for disasters. 2009 he did it with "Coldplay" for "Sound Relief" kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y21-sJdpkq-xmrw.html But this performance [ kzread.info/dash/bejne/nqWesLmufZXgXbQ.html ] was the last one he did. The benefit was for the massive bushfires at the start of 2020 with Sir Brian May of "Queen" and Olivia Newton John. Also Mitch Tambo singing it in Indigenous Language John was 70yo in this and it could be the last time we ever have a video recording of him perform this. So fitting it was with his Livy too! 💕 Enjoy! CHOOKAS! 💖
