@tytarian great vocalist:agreed but don't be offended if I say that its dumb to presume someone as a good person if you hardly know him.I mean he is famous and that's why you know his name.how much do you know him by the way.Is he your family member.
@yash5973 Ian McFarlane described him as "the most successful solo artist in the history of Australian rock and pop... Farnham has retained an affable sense of humour and a simple, unpretentious 'everyman' charm which also makes him one of the most respected celebrities in Australian entertainment history."
John, I don't care how much you have put on weight or how much hair you have lost, but I do believe you have the best voice I've heard in Aussie Land, you are a true champion.. Oh personal note, don't wear sleeveless shirts with no arms lol.. Your voice is the best!!! If only I could have half the talent...
@dassa545: or like a fine wine, but it's a shame that only happens with the music ... unlike her head with our time if it looks like a cheese, but gruyere ever more holes in his memory
pff always cerain people who are fighting about who is the best singer please grow up all singers are good in their own way, (i mean real singers not computersingin like the music from this time)
Well i meant that with autotune used you can easily recognize a weird robot-like sound in somebody's voice. I don't hear this at this video. So I assume he's singing fully out of his body.
But still... I really wish we get a time again with lots of good music with real artists..
@Ixamp your a fucking moron ... johnny farnham is AMAZINGLY talented vocalist ... but nobody on the planet compares to freddie mercury. his chest range and power in chest and head/falsetto notes were (even proven) to be superior to nearly any singer in history.. watch some documentries.. and ask a vocalist coach who actually knows what they talk about..
@matahew123 And men singing head/falsetto is just gay and stupid sounding. Big fan of the Bee Gees are you? Men who resort to falsetto singing do nothing but show what talentless "singers" they really are...including Freddy Mercury(yes I spelled his name wrong on purpose). Bye bye dumbass....go find a Freddy Murcery(did ti again) video to drool over.
@braddeicide goodluck with that, he loves some good old crowd participation on this one! Maybe look for a television performance if you haven't already succeeded in your hunt. Or just search for the album version/lyrics.
The title of the song says it all. Johnny was and will always be one of the greats. Between him and Jimmy, unless music take a jump back in time, I believe they should be classed as the greatest male vocalists that Australia has and ever will produce.
ich liebe den song seit ich 3 jahre alt bin immerhin sind das schon 17 jahre früher bin ich immer im bett gesprungen wenn meine ellis das gehört haben ich kann es stundenlang anhören ohne das es öde wird .....und wenn ich sauer oder so bin dan höre ich es und ich komme wider runter es giebt mir kraft ....unschlagbare stimme...er singt mit soviel leidenschaft hammer
Hah hah, this video kindly shows a drummer's close up for the exact time needed to distract the viewer from the failed toss... Johnny swiftly clutches up again the mic stand at 3:47 with his foot.
John *always* tries such trick at that point of this song, always driving the audience nuts when he succeeds. See for yourself at ARIA 2003 (watch?v=NDI-f8NI1FE at 4.00)
@OrbiliusMagister If this was a live edit which im sure it was the camera operators would be following some kind of script and because it was the drummers bit coming up they would of focussed on the drummer regardless of the failed attempt of Farnham. Or its been edited and a shot of the drummer (which could be the same shot as shown before) was dropped over the top of the failed attempt

Nowadays singing is indeed just a bunch of using computer's stuff autotune. You can even hear that the voice is sligtly changed.
But I don't think John Farnham used any form of autotune. (:

Farnham didn't use auto tune because not only does he not need it, but it wasn't developed until 1997, 11 years after the release of Whispering Jack.
