I learned of Anthony Warlow from the Complete Symphonic Recording of Les Mis, and I found this video while I was looking for more stuff by him. God, he's amazing. I had never heard of John Farnham before (I'm from the US, sue me :P). But man, he's amazing too! Great song, great performance. Thanks for posting it. :D
Poor bag pipers, they would have to have one of the easiiest jobs. They would get the perks as like the rest of the band members all so they can play on one song.
@Chaserpeach O.K., you're right :-) But I guess, that was the end of the concert...and live is live... and I just adore that she can sound so soft and vulnerable and then so straightly tough (I'm german, so please excuse my English...)
This is fairly awesome and quite epic however I would love to see a cover of it done except with Metal Scream vocals and maybe some Metal style instrumental? Lmao someone post if they know of anything like that xD
@14Darkeye Adding the pipes??! And you say you have heard this hundreds of times?? The "pipes" were never added they are the mainstay of this song! And this song has been done this way from the very first day it was sung just not with these people.
JOHN FARNHAM is totally a unbeatable singer and preformer this song actually did do very well in the US anyway who carea about america Farnham is the best singer in the world... Brandon PERTH WA
@thepierscooper That's my favourite too!!!! I love it when John changes octave like that!!!! He's an amazingly gifted Musician who knows no boundaries and continues to go from strength to strength! He's also never been afraid to try new things, be it technology or the latest in stage works, lights... etc.. I've been to ALL his concerts, and he's brilliant, every time!!! :o) <3 <3 Love you, John!!!
Shes got a sweet voice but on stage with these two guys especially anthony, she just gets blown away lol She's not the only one that would either these guys are brilliant
barcaNo9. you needa docter to check your head. the performance is nice, perfect timings, perfect stage performance. nice song , what the hell are you talking. what do you want the Oliver to dance like madonna. shut up please. my name is thasleem mohamed reza.
John Farnham has an amazing voice! Wow! They all blend so nicely together. I really like it. I don't know Anthony Warlow but he's good too. I know John from his days w/ LRB and singing w/Liv @ the Olympics.
i know someone who was in the orchestra (go tim!) and he recons they want to bring it out again, but farnham says "Leave it while were ahead". GRRRRRRRRRRR
This is a great combo, and being a John Farnham classic song, underscores how, in Aussie pop music history, there is Before Farnham and After Farnham.
Chris Thompson is one of the writers of the song, as well as three other people. They all wrote the song for John Farnham. You can catch him singing this song with the Alan Parsons Project on youtube, and who cares about Archuleta, his version doesn't have the passion and strength that Johnny's had. Thompson even performed it better than Archuleta. It still is true blue Aussie song.
john farnham is such a powerhouse of a vocalist. even 20 some odd years after the single was released, he makes chris thompson's you're the voice ring into our ears as something relevant. perfect.
Chris Thompson (from Manfred Mann's Earth Band) wrote the song with my husband, Andy Qunta, (from Icehouse) and Keith Reid and Maggie Ryder. David Archuleta is a singer who performed You're the Voice on American Idol a couple months ago. Like his version or not, it's introduced a whole new group of people to the song, and that is a GOOD thing... it's a great song!
First heard this song on American Idol...could not get it out of my head so had to look it up. David certainly picked the right song....that is the sign of a good song choice and performance ...if you are still running it through your head days later...only two so far this season have done that to me on American Idol...Davids The Voice is one of them ...this version is absolutely beautiful ...
like what the others said, thanks to david for introducing this song to someone like me never heard it before. this particular performance is so amazing! and they made the arrangement modern especially when compared to david's which sounded stuck in the early 90s. still an amazing song no matter how it was arranged or who sang it :D
SHAME on the American Idol judges!!! Bless you David A., for introducing me to a song I'd never heard before. I haven't stopped listening to it since your performance- this song HAUNTS me! And this powerhouse trio of two Aussie musical theater greats(John and Anthony) plus Olivia Newton-John(who KNEW she had such a powerhouse voice???) is outstanding! God Bless YouTube and iTunes for making so many different versions of this song available!
David A. showed such good taste in picking this song ... shame on Simon for dissing him. They should have John Farnham on the last show to sing it (if his voice is still up to it).
Aussie's Anthem now is mine also. Thanks to David A. from AI for bringing it to the stage. Since song choice is so important I'd say this year AI has a step up from others. This song is great, "Hallelujah" that Jason sang and the Cornell cover of "Billy Jean" that David C. sang have been songs I'm glad to know.
David Archuleta sang this last night and I am listening to the different artists who did it. I really like this one. I think young David is an admirable job considering his time he had to prepare for it not harmony to contrast him. I think this one is the best of all.
I like this interpretation of this song much more zhan my own mp3 version on my notebook...The quality of this film here is very overwhelming...This is music how i like it...Jhonny rulezzzz!!!!:-)
This rox! Anthony Warlow is a wonder, he is an awesome singer and I so admire the way he acts as though life is such fun, after all that he's been through!
Jon is an awesome singer too, as is Liv. And the song is beutifula as well as meaningful.
M opinin is ANthow Warlow is one of a kind and he is won of the best singers Ive ever heard... and he a hadsome dude.... he s bald beacuse he was diagnoesd wit Nonhogkins Lyphoma and he had to go through Kemo so thats wh hes bald
Anthony Warlow has such a great voice. I wish he could come to the states and tour the great music halls with the top orchestras. I would be the first in line to buy a ticket to see him perform at the Meyerson Symphony Hall in Dallas.
Ouch! That's a little harsh (i'm not telling you off, i just meant that I always found him rather handsome. But its all a matter of opinion, so no matter. So long as you enjoy his voice).
I seriously wouldn't want to follow Warlow I would be like " Yes I would like to sing with...wait Warlow...uhm...no thanks".
