Did you notice the way Farnsey holds the mike closer to Barbsey and Diesel so that he doesn't drown them out. He knows he does that with eveyone he sings with, he knows he could drown them out but chooses to let them shine brighter in the moment.

I had the pleasure to meet Sharon in the early 80's, but my biggest thrill was to have Steve Gilpin and Kevin Stanton come to listen to MY band after they had finished their concert in another part of the club where we were playing, and they asked us over to spend time with them chatting about the evening. I'm glad that I had that time. Little did we know he would be gone not long after.

These singers come from a country that tends to cut its tall poppies down. One of the reasons I believe they're so beloved (apart from their freakish talent of course) is because they love music and theyve allowed us into their sacred love of music. We share their joy and feel their emotions. Thats a rare gift and my generation is so lucky to have grown up with them. You reminded me of that when you said it's about the song. Thanks for another great reaction 🙂

You’ve already said that you can’t teach this, but you are showcasing the absolute brilliance of two of the best male vocalists on the planet, and how they can work together, as well as having a fun little sing-off. Fro memory, Diesel is Jimmy’s brother in law. Originally he was known as the frontman for Johnny Diesel and the Injectors, then I think the injectors kept getting clogged up, so I was just Johnny Diesel, and finally he was just Diesel. Although we were waiting for him to drop to just “D”

The thing about Farnsy and Barnsy is that they force each other to elevate themselves to the very best they can both be. They are great separately but when you put those two men on stage, in this duet, they will never sing better than when they can feed off of each other. There is rivalry there but there is no bitterness or competition beyond being the best they can be reflective in each other's performance.

Just to note, it’s Jimmy blending with John, he has an infinite collection of duets and he always shines and let shine ✨ Jimmy is the GOAT

It’s honestly so refreshing to hear your wonderful and complementary comments and enthusiasm as a professional vocal coach. Oh yes we love and are proud of our boys up there on stage years ago and we still are proud of them all💞

Barnsy's also has a daughter Mahalia Barnes who is a spectacular singer that you should react to ,Her songs RIDING WITH THE KINGS and NASTY GAL are amazing .

“Barnsey & Farnesy” are 2 of our greatest musical icons here in Australia & their combined catalogues of hit songs could keep you entertained for not just hours, but YEARS ☝️😎. Yes, Jimmy was born in Scotland & John was born in England but us Aussies proudly claim them as “Aussie Icons. Separately, they ALWAYS put on great shows & performances but together, the fans would always go nuts whenever they performed together. Sadly, John has had his health battles as of late but there’s no denying the magic these 2 performing together would always create ✌️😄👍

Reacting to them separately you were blown away, wonder having all three Barnsey, Farnsey and Diesel on one stage together what it’s gonna do to ya.

I’m so happy to see you react into this. Your channel is become much more fun, and it already was very fun! I think I’m a huge fan of Australian singers in the last couple of years.

Highly recommend checking out the seekers, I am australian (farewell concerts). The singing is out of this world. And the greatest song ever, it's Australia's unofficial national anthem. Guaranteed goosebumps and tears

Much love jimmy ,john and johnny not only are these guys super super talented but they are the nicest most humble people you would ever meet true legends😊

John Farnham and Anthony Warlow singing Grenada is a must reaction.

Hi Beth from Tasmania, Australia 👋✌🏼 We just lost one of the greatest and most globally underrated white soul and jazz singers downunder in January. The sublime and beautiful Ms. Renee Geyer (Heading in the right direction. It’s a Man’s World and so many more I can’t recall.) RIP MS. Renee . Renee, Marcia Hines (ex pat USA) and John English were a huge part of the 70s and 80s Australian music scene and I’ve always thought it a darn shame that not enough brilliant Aussie talent got air time overseas. I saw Marcia and John in concert when they were the leading cast members of Jesus Christ Superstar in 1983. John had a spectacular sound with natural grit. Also you can’t go wrong with the twin sisters,The Veronicas and the legendary ‘Powderfinger’ who I saw in concert in 2001 rocking a baby belly and my two young teenage daughters in tow. Yes, they were really that good and I was only about 6 months along lol. Worth it! I’m showing my age here but I was at the Enz of an Era tour for Split Enz before Neil Finn founded Crowded House (although I was a wee bairn then-16 or 17).

Jimmy & John's voices are the perfect unity of polar opposites. Listening to Jimmy & John sing makes me proud to be Australian. Hopefully, both living legends are well on their way to recovering from their illnesses.

Great performance _ Get well John & Jimmy❤

I'm so late to this reaction but thank you for including Diesel in the title. He's phenomenal in his own right and definitely added to this song.

Whenever I hear awesome talent like this it makes me want to cry too I’m moved that much.

I have been waiting for this. They are great together. John lives not far away from me. My grandmother was from Scotland and she helped care for me as a baby / child as some have commented that I had an accent - it must have come from her. My beautiful 2 yr old Granddaughter is called Beth. I have 2 of the most awesome beautiful daughters ever that I am so proud of.

Barnsey’s voice is sublime when he doesn’t screetch!!! Diesel and Farnesy together with him is a great combo ❤ Haha throw in the lotto numbers too 😂😂

It brings me great joy that two of the greatest performers in Australia are being recognised by wonderful people like you. That is sharing such talent with the world❤

they are so good together arent they. i think they bounce off one another to be better. Jimmy is a master at harmonising and blending with other singers.

Fantastic reaction Beth. 🎉🎉 Big time Jimmy fan here, but I also love Diesel aka Mark Lizotte and John Farnham. Loved that you picked up how they where having fun singing together and their excellent harmonies. John Farnham was in LRB Little River Band for a while. The other great lead singer of that band was Glenn Shorrock. LRB are known for their harmonies with Beeb Birtles and Graeham Goble. Jimmy was in another pub rock band called Cold Chisel and joined as a youngster around 17 years of age. Cold Chisel had two singers, Jimmy and Ian Moss. Boy they always harmonise well. Others have mentioned the song When the war is over to hear Ian or Mossy as he is affectionately known. Or maybe his version of Georgia from 1983 The Last Stand Chisel concert (although they have reformed since to tour since)…perhaps look up Cold Chisel singing a cover of Wild Thing too 🎉🎉🎉But basically you really can’t go wrong with all of their catalogue. Also if you’d like to hear Jimmy’s speaking voice check out kzread.info/dash/bejne/pWh8sdl9oJO0fNI.html with a song with Diesel, called Since I fell for you (Jimmy and Diesel are brother in laws as their wives are sisters).

Now Mahalia is a POWERHOUSE of a singer in her own right. And let’s not forget David Campbell, Jimmys eldest son, he’s got a set of lungs on him also!

You said it, what a treat! This trio is just absolutely stunning...you will never hear anything better...

One of my favourite songs, because it's also by two of my favourite singers. It's hard to find more unique, strong and passionate artists. Thanks for reacting to so many of them!

I'm always excited to see anyone react to John, and as with the first time you reacted to him, Beth, I was so happy to see you overcome with emotion to these guys... As lame as it is, I was a member of the John Farnham fan club as a 15 year old... I was not cool, but regret NOTHING! He was a god! :-) And of course, both Jimmy and Diesel are wonderful characters as well! Love the reaction, Beth, as always!

If you wanted to check it out, there's a short clip of an impromptu duet between John Farnham and Tom Jones singing My Yiddeshe Momma. While the duet catches them both a bit off-guard, you can easily contrast the two styles and see John hold his own against/with Tom. The segment was done during a live broadcast of a (now defunct) Australian TV variety show called Hey Hey It's Saturday, and in front of a studio audience. I love your reactions - the emotion is just a joy to behold, and I do appreciate your analysis as well.

Johnny Farnham, started out as a teen and became king of pop when he was 20, back in the late 69' through to 73'. So that's a lot of years of hard work and dedication. Jimmy Barnes was brought up in a disfunctional home with an abusive Dad and a tough Mum. So he basically ran wild until his parents split up and his mum remarried a very kind soul, who's last name Jimmy adopted. His older brother John Swan has a similar vocal sound, except deeper. Johnny Diesel is a force of his own and started out in 92' with his album hepfidelity (very rocky blues sound), but my favourite album was his next one released in 93', called the lobbyist, with hit songs One more time and Tip of my tongue. 😘👌💖

You're such a sweety. We love our singing legends.

Thank you. I returned to my 9 year old self discovering this for the first time. Blew my mind. My parents could not understand what had happened to their daughter who lived and breathed Kylie Minogue and Paula Abdul. Life changing.

Jimmy is my all time favourite singer (solo and with Chisel) but this song with John is off the richter scale. I love seeing people's reaction when they see/hear my favourite singers for the first time.

I definitely second the recommendation for John and Olivia Newton John singing “please don’t ask me”. You think think near brought you to tears… Also try Jimmy’s band Cold chisel. I think you will appreciate “bow river” the live in the round version. It really highlights his band mate Mossy’s voice!

Hey Rachael! I checked out Cold Chisel, did a reaction to it and loved it! kzread.info/dash/bejne/epN9ldBuj9LXo9o.html

They recorded this song in studio for an album of Jimmy's. It is on all my playlists.

I've always loved this performance. When you said that they know how to blend, how they're not fighting to be the stand out, you've hit it on the head. You can see that they love performing together, working together, having a bloody great time together doing what they love to do.

How ,lucky am I I can remember John's very 1st single most Aussies my age and older remember Sadie the cleaning lady. There was nothing in the charts like it before or since, and people at his concerts will ask him to sing it which he will sing a few bars of the song if you are lucky Love John John Farnham he is a true blue Aussie born in England

I heard Jimmy Barnes once singing unmiked in a record shop promoting an Album. He has operatic power which must be crazy with all that grit

Among a long list of great live duets, fantastic performance!

OH MY, , This was broadcast on Victoria TV. Super 66, and Tattslotto was drawn abt 8 30PM back then (Draw 1079 - Sat, 23 November 1991). Johnny Diesel & the Injectors. Later just called Diesel, was brilliant. Absolutely lovin' all your Realness on these vids !!

Diesel has kind of a high, clean bluesy voice. He's very popular in Australia. He plays with Jimmy Barnes all the time because they are related. He even plays guitar on Jimmy's recent cover of 'Chandelier'.
