Great reaction. Mel Gibson is American he grew up in Australia. His grandmother was an Australian. He has permanent residency here.
John Lennon said that this is how he envisaged "Help" to be sung, slowed down, but he lost the discussion.
This is the speed John Lennon wanted to but the record company said the album had enough ballads. There's certain artists in this country whom everyone knows. Check out Midnight Oil Stand in line live. Rather energetic dancing 🤣
He got praise from the Beatles they wrote the song
You need to watch the voice with same orchestra
Brilliant 🔥🔥
I must admit, I do love watching a “genuine reaction”. You have a lot of Aussies quietly chuckling. Ignorance is indeed bliss. Keep up the good work 😊
Mel Gibson was born in the US before coming to Australia.
John Farnham was born in England.
When John is on Australian’s arrive. I have probably watched him do this song 60 times and I still have to stop. That was John teaching the Beatles how they should have sung it and John Lennon agreed. I think a lot of big names were glad he stayed here at home and they all worried he would make a cover of their hits. There is no genre he cannot sing even opera. He is such a gift.
John and my husband both came from England when they were 10 years old. Sometime in the 80’s John became a Citizen really fast because he found out he was going to be Australian of the year. Like my husband he just thought he was an Aussie. Mel Gibson came from America as a child and went to school here. His father Hutton Gibson was on and won Sale Of The Century. He came back and played against other champions. He had a heap of children and always talked about a back injury. Mel went to our top Acting School, NIDA. A few years ago he rebuilt it much bigger and he still comes home and funds that school. All of our Australian’s still come home or just stay home. Thank you for John. Listen to him sing Led Zeppelin’s Black Dog. John never recorded it but someone did. He uses it for sound check and warm up and you will only find a photo of him singing it. Really worth hearing. He has one of the best voices in the world.
OK so I screamed "what!?" At you as you said it must be an original, but as an Aussie who grew up with musical parents who actually didn't like the Beatles or Elvis (it was all Country, folks!) I was very surprised to hear the original of this as I grew up with Whispering Jack and didn't realise this was a cover!
🥰🥰🥰💞💞💞💞💞💞 love it 👅👅👅👅👅👅👅👅💞💞💞💞💖💖💖💖
Oh yeah, a masterpiece of a performance 👌👌👌
This is a Beatles classic – very famous – here is the original version and you can tell it is totally different in the way John did it – and the late John Lennon from the Beatles loved this when he heard it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Q_ZzBGPdqE
Thank you for letting it play through without pausing, chatting and losing the momentum.
This version of The Beatles classic song, is the way John Lennon envisaged it to be sung. John Farnham first performed his version back in about 1974, at a Royal Variety Performance in front of Queen Elizabeth. John is an English born Australian artist, and is the epitome of a true gentleman and consummate entertainer; Australia's greatest performer, who chose family over international exposure.
It's not the Beatles' Help…..yes it is!!🤣 But reimagined and imho improved! Best performance ever!
I would have never of known this was a Beatles cover. I have heard of the song "Help", However, Never been a Beatles follower. This rendition is perfect. And, I like the Sax too, gives a little jazz feel. His voice is very soothingly perfect. Great reaction Hap! CHEERS!
This is a Beatles song but done in his own way. John Lennon said he wanted to record this song more like John Farnhams version but the producer's insisted that it be pop
The way he let the audience join in with his singing was superb, from the one and only The Beatles. Such an old song too!! Loved it so much!! xx 💝💝💝
I find it so funny you didn't recognize the Beatles's song. I couldn't believe it when I heard the first words. What an exceptional cover! It's awesome! It really rocks as well as the orchestra, backing vocals, the sax and the audience. Thank you for this reaction and your breathlessness when you were listenjng to it. So was I. 😎
Great reaction! This is the best cover of the Beatles song HELP! John Farnham is a legend! What a vocal range!
I laughed when 'I've been corrected' came up on the screen…. yes, this is The Beatles song 'Help'…… John Lennon actually got to hear Farnsies version when it was released in early 1980 before Lennon unfortunately was murdered in Dec 1980. And John Lennon said that this was how he had wanted to perfom this song…. but record labels/producers etc. made The Beatles do an upbeat version……. this is our John Farnham… and he will be known forever….. he was still performing in his 70's before his cancer diagnosis…. which we are all praying he get's through and comes back from xx…. we looooove him…. he is also a really humble man….
That's the way to make a classic Beatles song your own. Farnsey is a legend.
This is the Beatles song, John just released it in a different format. By the way Mel Gibson spent his formative years in Aus, however he was born in USA
He took a Beatles classic and turned it on his head. He is a master performer and the voice is unsurpassed. There is a YouTube clip in which he does both his own and the Beatles original version. https://youtu.be/VD5Vt6zx_to
It is a cover of the Beatles and John Lennon said this is the way the song was meant to be performed
I have had the privilege of seeing John live many times over the years even in small pub setting. He is truly amazing and so adored here in Australia. 💕💕If you haven’t already I would love you to react to the studio version of When Something is wrong with my baby which John sings with Jimmy Barnes.
Not bad for the last song of this concert is it 👏🤩
I'm sure John Lennon who wrote Imagine would find the gospel analogy interesting.
John's wife Jill has been his greatest help in over 50 yrs together
It is the Beatles song “Help” but it John Farnham’s version. John Lennon himself said it was how it was supposed to be sung.
I didn’t realise until the end that your accent says you British, how can you not know this song is originally the Beatles 😳
John was asked to be the singer of Queen before Freddie, he turned it down to become a solo artist.
John Lennon wrote it, The Beatles recorded it, John Farnham owns it.
This song isn't an original John Farnham song, it is a cover of the Beetles hit Help! He did however make it his own, an is the best rendition of the song I have ever heard!
I didn't know Gibson was Australian, who's mad max then 🤣🤣
👍
Get well Jack ❤
The Best ever Male vocalist from popular music.
I was 15 when he released this song here in Australia.
I thought he was a female singer and Black as well.
He blew my mind all his hit's
He would warm his vocals with Zeppelin covers he nailed it.
He sung with Ray Charles,Celine Dion and Olivia Newton John .
Performed with Brain May it says it all .
A GOAT, Legend.
This was the final encore after 2 and a half hour Concert, and he is absolutely full on for the whole time. It is why we in Oz know him as "The Voice"
Help Beatles 60s
