Bobby Flynn - When The War Is Over

[jimincairns]

Andre the Giant's love-child.

Couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.

[joeiwho]

What a talent Bobby is.....Just mindblowing

[joeiwho]

Bobby is unique and so bloody talented......Just breathtaking

[JACKBOIJIMI]

how can anyone say that was shit ! your all an absolute joke, one of the most amazing and memorable voices i have ever heard by far, he should have been a big hit in the music industry

[portman1983]

I wish I could still this fucks hair away, looks like a dickhead.

[danacrulz]

Still gives me chills. AMAZING!!

[ImportSilvia]

Wow. That was rubbish.

[balancer182]

Bobby Flynn was a hit or miss. For this song he hit greatly, but he can also miss badly in other songs and live performances.

[giovanni9763]

clearly you guys have no idea about anything

[Mob01971]

Talk about kill a classic song!! Pathetic

[xTheStroopeD]

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT!

[MrRSoul73]

Bobby Flynn sings with such emotion that it feels like every lyric is aimed at you and thats what makes him great...

[VolV8]

Fark man, that's just shit.

Stop smiling you little fucktard.

[ElleMarie2]

@VolV8 shut up 

[VolV8]

@ElleMarie2 When I was in Thailand once I saw a guy that had been in a jet ski accident. I worked my way through the crowd to finally see a young fella, maybe 17yrs old, with his spine a guts falling out of him whilst still conscious, gesturing with his hands, flailing, lost. Nearly a minute passed when he locked eyes with me, smiled and then stopped moving, dead, in a pool of blood and guts and shit.

[anitahobart]

love it



[nicktidey]

My favourite of his many fine performances on Idol.

[bordo2604]

RIP Steve Prestwich who passed away at 3.30pm on 16th January, 2011 from a brain tumour. He was the writer of this song. John Farnham got hold of it after Steve joined LRB after Cold Chisel disbanded. Steve was 56.

[AndrewP222]

The late??? To paraphrase Monty Python, "He's not dead yet!"....although sings like he's on the way out.

[budrock01]

Man that is just plain ordinary

[emmexted]

You are amazing... Reply and again...

[emmexted]

Please sing the whole song Bobby...

[Rob5tanley]

@arlencarroll... a bit full of ourselves aren't we? This is a great Aussie song alright, but John Farnham didn't write it. It was originally written for Cold Chisel by their drummer Steve Prestwich. Check out wiki for more info, or just go out and buy it for yourself on 'Circus Animals'.

[riffmagos]

In my opinion THE most original Idol contestant ever.

[arlencarroll]

john farnhams version??? he wrote it dood.lol

and @ stitchgroover..u obviously didnt see his audition...pretty much only person ive ever seen on idol who rocked up and performed an original..thts what being a muso is all about.

[arlencarroll]

john farnhams version??? he wrote it dood.lol

[TARBABY71]

@arlencarroll you obviously know your Australian music

[stitchgroover]

I hated Bobby Flynn with a passion - until the night he sang this song. Completely turned me around and he became a favorite.

[nettystube42]

he should have won idol... he got ripped off

[snerksta]

crazily brilliant

[bordo2604]

John Farnhams version on the Age of Reason album is magnificent.

[Cutsnakee]

i still get goose bumps from this

[chunkyxsushi]

I. HATE. HIM.

[haynesdu]

I had never heard the song until Bobby sang it on Idol. I love his version, as well as the original. (I would love to hear Bobby sing the entire song!)

[wilba2222]

what a way to destroy a great aussie classic

[wilba2222]

what a way to destroy a great aussie classic

[kaybyn1]

Just beautiful!!

[courtzlonglife]

I love his voice. So soft but strong at the same time.

[4evateardrops3]

I dont like himm :)

[doctorgriffith]

rubbish.

[Toyboy789]

a wonderful performance of a great classic!

[strinamara]

the late?

[Xjordanary]

2:05 minutes of pure class and brilliance.. bobby flynn SEXY TIME FOR YOU!!!

[pedgeman]

I forgot how good this was, a voice with such emotion and intensity. Incredible performance

[hohobal]

his voice is like velvet..he was my fav in Idol..

[AsianStyled]

jew fro

[MyStupidNamesTaken]

I was in Australia during this season with Bobby Flynn and Lisa Mitchell. I was impressed that the Australian Idol actually had people with talent on it.

The UK one is full of identical boy/girl band types with no talent, just karaoke singers.

[blackwoolley]

curnwah11 needs to get a grip on reality. Songs are there to be sung there are many different ways to sing a song. There is no need to insult someone trying out a new way to sing a song. You can say you dont like it without using foul language. Go somewhere else if you dont like it why are you even hear listening?

[Rorzzz123]

rubbish

[budrock01]

Oh my God that was fucking terrible, 2 minutes of my life that i will never get back... shit plus the 30 secs to type this... bad form bobby flynn

[renilicious]

Good christ, he's just as awful as I remember.

[lotarn91]

has he made his own single or something yet?

[mayamaya]

@lotarn91 yes he has made an album :)

i saw it last time on JB Hi Fi or u can go to his website to check it out =)

[suncorn]

Bobby has an incredibly expression voice, full of feeling and emotion. He is a truly unique artist and one of the greatest talents of our time.

[thewilso]

Greatest idol contestant ever!

[andy280765]

a super freak

[gbangerau]

anyone seen the movie mask?

[jmorg1]

What do you mean the late Bobby? He's still alive!

[chickensw]

@jmorg1 hahaha...

[walawalaaznman3]

cant believe that bobby didnt win, stupid voters dont recognize true talent when they see it

[billlawry64]

almost as good as cold chisel

[mrswestwick1]

i do agree with you jamestaylor! hes amazing!

[jamestalyor]

He is the best singer ever,

Like seriously there is no one better???

[vbvbvb088]

He is a 'handyman'.

[QuantumTechno]

maybe if they made a clone...

[DallyBoy247]

he's no Mossy

[ScrambledEggs101]

<3 it

[TD6061]

some of u cunts r fuk wits recon this guy didnt have talent  he woz fukin siik. n for the person there who recons it shood be sung by some1 who has been to war ur a idiot

[malidol]

i still dont get this guy, maybe im just wierd, but i dont find him talented in any way.

[n6356583]

At least he has progressed from singing into a webcam on youtube fussing with his hair. *cough*

[highlanderclan]

This is a great song, That should be sung by someone who has been at war, or atleast someone who understands it .( I know both... )whether it be world wars or relationships. He Clearly Did not portray either of these in his performance !! I'm Sure he would do better with a song more suited to his talents.

[oliver1990]

Are you saying a song called "Angel" should be sung by an ANGEL? I don't get you at all.

[mhorne1987]

that was horrible

[ActingFireAqua]

DANNNNGGG I LOVE his singing.

[flamingVids]

for those wondering his not dead don't worry.

Dude re-label the description

[caldyallypat]

omg thank god hes not dead i was real worried there! lol ;)

[SixxLightyear]

yo johndory67

bro, relax, had a bad day hey? dont even think abotu starting with this "he has never worked a hard day in his life" bullshit, trying to make it in the music industry is one of the hardest courses to take, take it from me, wait till i play a stadium in ur town.

chillax brah!

peace

[meggsmom]

Your comment is really offensive, other people can appreciate talent its a shame you can't!

[johndory67]

this little fucking cunt hasnt even worked a hard day in his life let alone know enything about the war..little fucking cock sucker is a discrace to australia..wrecked a great aussie song..get a fukn hair cut cunt

[gumby1501]

This guy is what Australian music is about.

Something original.

He is amazing

Agreed; best australian idol moment.

[whereyaben]

i miss bobby too, and i hope he isnt dead

[suburbanurbanproject]

Is it me, or does he sound remarkably like Ray LaMontagne?

[hitmen1116]

eh a little. he's got that airy quality in his voice. very soft singing style like Ray

[Assyria4eva]

damm i dont think there has ever been a performance like this on idol.

[fylthymcnasty]

Is he dead?

[theforeman118]

no he's not dead

[tofutofu]

man i miss bobby,

what you mean by late bobby?

[foxgeek]

how did that Irish clown Damien Leith beat this guy!

Awesome performance.

[asti898]

such a unique voice. i love him.

[vbvbvb088]

weak - what about hooking into 'you and I used each others shoulder...how can I go home and not get blown away'....long live real oz...

[subsbligh]

DITTO best australian idol moment ever.

[IAmNgatai]

Best Idol Performance Ever.! LOOOOOOOOOVEEE IT.

[IAmNgatai]

Zomg im on youtube. haaaaaaaaaay. Famous

[chalky09]

another one of those songs that should be heritage listed, and kept a long way away from australian idol.

Nothing on that show stacks up.

Dissapointed to see this.

[12ZAKARIA12]

dont you think bobby should have one it not damien leith

[doody8888]

Fucking learn how to spell please.

[ManicMindTrick]

Anyone who has the performance of "under the milky way"? Its a shame the bastard from idol put it off youtube after he had left the contest.

What a fucking juggernut version tho, just blow your mind

[johndory67]

fucking poofter get a hair cut and stop ruining great aussie classics u fagget..fuckign discrace

[YouMe7898]

He was far too good for Idol.

[tssrugby10]

best idol performance ever

[hamo110]

Mask...

[timtamtyrant]

I shouldn't really, but lmao ^^

[ntuliG]

in my books this was the greatest ever, and they wil be, in a long time . coz this waz juss pure talent

[possumsnest]

So proud of this great Aussie classic - well done Bobbie.

[reganelizabeth]

To the poster below: yes, his version of Rhiannon was absolutely amazing.

This song, however, blows me away. 0:50 onwards is AMAZING

[ucanleaveyourhaton]

hey does anyone remember Bobby doing a version of Rhiannon on Idol ? It was absolutely awesome - better than the original ! Too bad it's the brainless 10yr old girls who vote on Idol. What a joke! Bobby is the best Idol has ever seen.

[bamsworld25]

ur awesome bro!

[Kohn30]

still blows me away every time i hear him. He was just too great for idol and the small minded voting australian public.

[chiefofsparta]

well said

[2erwq]

Bobby Flynn ... 100% awsumness 0% human.

[emanizzle]

haha yup..

[laurababe101]

is it true that he started a band?

[caldyallypat]

f

u

c

k

i think im gonna cry now i cryd wen he went out i love him i love you bobbby!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

[SxcSinny]

he is adorable:)My fav part is 1:32. cant wait till he puts out an album??

xx

[fastfoodchicken]

already has put out an album. google him and you'll find it, itunes has it for sale too. something like "out front" or along those lines.

[itisallaboutthemusic]

personaly i dont see what all that fuss is about....

but thats just my personal opinion no offence to all his fans and wat not

[LucidDreamer92]

He has stage presence and almost an aura over him, he sings at different pitches, sometimes whistles...strays from the norm, I can only think he is a lot like a young Jeff Buckley.

He seems to play with his notes as if to pluck the most out of each word before it comes out of his mouth. He has a special talent and I'm glad he went out early so as to avoid the "Idol stigma"

[Lexaaa21]

such an effortless performance. Go bob

[procrastinator19]

still my favourite idol performance ever. so often i feel like idol performances just look and sound like glorified karaoke acts...

bobby was definitely an exception to the rule!

[chinami827]

australian idol has to change its system, it always sacrifice people who has a real talent, and always someone crappy remains

[joshie92]

Why does the description say "the late and great bobby"? He's still alive.

[kebin65]

Wow, that was absolutely incredible. Wow.

[joetex111]

fuck man this bloke was the most overated person on australian idol ever, thats fucking boring as bat shit, sounds like a faggot

[Gloryroad211]

look whos talkin

[fottahfilms]

Um are you talking about Ricky Lee or Bobby cause you sound like you are talking about Ricky

[johndory67]

wow u fucking cock sucker dont sing aussie classics is ur gonna sing like a fucking poofter..discrace to this cold chisel u fagget

[lennyMD]

Go back to your trailer park, you uneducated piece of shit, if you are going to post a comment at least learn how to spell first.

[johndory67]

if* ...1 mistake u fuck wit lol..go lick ya mums fat twot

[lennyMD]

Its easy to be a big man and call people names on this, I bet you wouldn't be the same if we met face to face, coward.

[funkygirl59]

this is the most beautiful version of this song i've ever heard in my whole life.

[sleigh93]

He didnt win cause the only people stupid enough to vote were to stupid to vote for him.

[arlencarroll]

yes true,however i too am one of the ppl who didnt/dosnt vote on AUS idol and wouldnt either im against the whole thing it promotes no real originality or true hard work in gaining place in the musci industry...but dont even get me started.he does rock though! and the "real" ones will make it on their own

[arlencarroll]

the judges on this show have no idea what star quality is.

cause hes got it and should have won it...a travesty really..who won tht time anyway??? i dont remember/care.

[Gloryroad211]

it isnt the judges they loved this guy... the australian public r to blame, and im one ov em! i don't really vote 4 this kind of stuff anyway, i like this guy 2!

[arlencarroll]

ummm..why didnt this guy win it???????

[jomomo]

real talent never wins.

[jfryar12]

i 100% agree with u. they always get rid of any1 isn't flavour of the month pop :( bobby has a web site just search him on google.

[hypock1]

This kills the old version

awesome

[guigby]

man, when i saw this i hadnt heard the old version and i loved it. but watch the video of cold chisel playing it on their ringside tour

its absolutely

INCREDIBLE!

and to be fair, they're the best aussie band of all time, so to say that an aussie idol competitor (no matter how great he was) did it better is a bit of an insult to them. thats how i see it anyway

[hqkingswood]

seemed a little bit raspy in his voice, especially for this song. Doesn't particularly suite his style.

[lukearse]

up with the very best of them

[jewfish101010]

I was never a Bobby Flynn fan before I saw this performance... this left me gobsmacked...

[smokesletsgo1234]

this guy would fly if he took some smack.

[adaycalledzero]

amazing, i think is my fav idol performance in the world, he made this song looks amazing, the lyrics are chilling.

[jooosha]

Stupid video title. No he did not die :P

[lennyMD]

What do you mean stupid video title? Its the name of the song!!

[shanog1987]

becaus "late and great" implies that he is dead. his not.

[ohjoey]

Late?! Did he die???

[MeoCaroline]

I just googled it, and it doesn't show that he did. So, maybe the 'late' was used in the wrong context?

He's so dreammmmmmmmmmy.

[starhannahpc]

Bobby has such an amazing voice.

I could listen to him 24/7

[Skam127]

Bobby Flynn is by far the best musician Idol has taken in. He posses the rare quality to just take you away from the real world. Oh and I love the thing he does with his hand, its like he is trying to shake some sort of inner soul.
