His Best Performance Ever? John Farnham - You're The Voice ( Reaction / Review ) LIVE WITH ORCHESTRA

John is agreat singer and has the biggest heart and soul hope he recovers from his mouth cancer beaut Aussie bloke

You also need to watch John sing When the War is Over 🇦🇺🦘

What vocal warm up techniques?

Picks a song. Sings it. Nails it. Every. Freaking. Time!

John used a cover of Led Zepplin Black Dog as a warm up song along with sound checks.

Love how timeless this anthem is. I wasnt even born when this was recorded but know it word for word. You should check out johns version of this for fire fight australia which is a benefit concert for our firefighters after a horrible bushfire season a few years ago. He was 70 yrs old and still sings this epicly. Praying his current recovery goes well as he had surgery for throat cancer.

Age of Reason. One fan posted that all the music for that was arranged by David Hirschfelder, John's keyboard player. Look up David's musical pedigree - astonishing (ditto all band members and backing singers). See the Banners Fall - towards the end of the song John catches a package thrown from the audiences - whoever threw it had brilliant aim, and did John look surprised! ! 14.11.23. UK. E ❤

Great that you score and even better as an aussie, John gets a 10 :) great video mate.

Warm up is black dog😂

And just think, there were two more encores after this epic moment: Help and It’s a Long Way to the Top! John Farnham is the GOAT 😍🇦🇺

Black dog is his warmup song

I am an Australian and score all you wish . It can only be a good thing .

This performance just brings so much joy. He's the whole package, stage presence, performance and of course "The Voice"❤️

Watch playing to win another great song

He's doing mic stand tricks

Also, forgot to strongly suggest an AC/DC hit that John just loved to do …Long way to the Top…

So nice to hear John’s work being reacted to. He’s our national treasure. I love your genuine enjoyment.❤ I went to his concerts whenever I was able to and it’s magic to be in the same space.

Always plays with stand. Black dog warm ups

You should review John live with Anthony Warlow singing the Operetta Grenada. He can even do Opera!

Thanks for this reaction. I really love the details you pick out, and how you relate their significance.

He warms up to black dog

The best part is, John Farnham, legend that he is down here, is a humble, magnificent man. You can run into him at the shops, and he’s happy to say “G’day”, and have a chat and a photo.
Recently he’s been battling cancer, but every true blue Aussie is behind his full recovery!

Great reaction, mid 80’s

I think he went downhill after his first hit, Sadie the Cleaning Lady.

The amazing thing about John, is that his career has lasted for so long, that there are sometimes 3 generations in a family that love listening to his songs. :)

He throws the mike stand up and catches

He warms up with black dog...watch it

He is Australia. I’m so happy you caught the mic stand throw and catch. Many miss it. ❤😂

You missed the 70s and 80s Party as well. This was 1988. Performed in Melbourne, Johns home tow. There were 88,000 in the audience, including me.

I would like to suggest John singing Amazing Grace with two of his wonderful backing singers and Angel with the other female backing single

I’m Australian and have been a fan of Farnsy for decades. While I love this song I prefer his version of “Help” or his own song “Burn for You”. Great singer, consummate performer, humble and genuinely nice man. Amazing that this song was a worldwide hit except America - some fool over there remixed it before release and took out the claps at the start. John used his mike stand in all his concerts, waving it around like some sort of baton.

Awesome reaction to Farnsey 💥👍

Anything (Barnsey) from Cold Chisel, any duet Farnsey and Barnsey.. Especially, "When somethings wrong with my baby"

Also the Jesus Christ Superstar stage performance "Gethsemane"

At the end of the day brother you can't please everyone. Well this Aussie approves of the scoring.

I just thought Gee this man has a saggy neck and then I noticed that it was a tattoo. lol.

He sings amazing grace with Veneta fields and Lisa Edwards and I can’t remember Lyndsey’s surname.

Sings songs like Black Dog

The Mike stand is part of his act

RE mike stand.. Up at 5.30, 5.31 catch the stand 1 handed - while starting the next line of lyrics at full power with his neck bent in the effort of catching!

I was at a concert in Sydney.. much smaller venue.. he tossed the mike stand maybe 3 metres / 9ft into the air.. nearly hitting the spotlights and did it about 16-20+ times during the concert as he was singing.
He dropped it a few times.. foot-picked it up, then ( im my concert experience :P ) got frustrated and chucked into another part of the stage.. All while belting out the song.
I think He is a bit of a perfectionist.
Anyway, I guess thats why hes always readjusting the length cause the stand gets bent :P

BTW Cool with the scoring !!
Us aussies in the 80's used to score anything that moved. :P

Howdy.
Warmups. For what its worth, in the case of Ray Martins TV show, "Please Don't Ask Me - TV Talk Show Version" warmups = none, AND he was trying the remember the lyrics from a long time not singing the song AND telling all sorts of stories and jokes :P

Apparently his range changes depending from operatic, A4,C5,D5#

He has done concerts everywhere in Australia and in war torn countries

John is known as the Voice 😊

Great reaction video.
