For over 20 years I was a stagehand and in all that time there was only a handful of unforgettable moments... I was working on the "Day on the green" festival in a country town (Australia) and as the band was playing, Kasey walked up on stage with (I assume) her daughter hand in hand, long before she was supposed to go on and perform. Now as stagehands, we always move aside, make ourselves small and let the artist do their thing. We had all backed ourselves into a corner and she walked straight to us and asked how we all were. Now understand that we are all long haired, tattooed degenerate looking folk and she stayed and made conversation with us all...forced us to talk with her. She was one of the most genuine people I've ever met in the industry. A beautiful human being.
She really is. I have met her a couple times through my work and she genuinely takes the time to stop and speak to everyone around her.
There is also a men's rehab facility on the central coast that she regularly goes to visit without promoting it online. She visits often and sings for the men and spends hours listening to their stories.
Kasey is truely one of a kind.
She really is, her dad is the same. Living a nomadic life especially in her early days is evident in her songs and interviews she does. She’s truly a beautiful human! This song is her struggle through her career and she carries herself with humility, guts and humour.
Kasey has faced her own trials and tribulations, but has always come through, stronger for the endeavour. At one stage, she ws having problems getting airplay on commercial radio stations; even though she was putting out hit song, so she wrote a song as a commentary about that called "Not Pretty Enough" as she didn't fit the mainstream idea of a performer.
This gives me chills n tears. Best thing I’ve seen in forever. I keep coming back to it.
Very cool. I love when humble folks see great success. She has amazing talent/skill.
Watching people watching Kasey killing this has become a national sport I reckon 🇦🇺😂
i'm a fellow aissie and have watched about 30 reactors react to this and tbh it never gets old watching the awe and suprise on the reactors faces
😆😂yep
This!! I’ve watched SO MANY reacts to this clip, and as much as I freakin LOVE the song, I’m finding myself watching for the reactors reactions.. the total amazement on their faces.. the “is that a banjo?”.. and then the absolutely insane reaction when she hits high gear! I love that she can bring the reactors to tears, she’s such a powerful and under rated artist around the world. @ThatsNotActingEither thank you for not disappointing me 😊
For real though! I have watched so many reaction videos on this one song, I freakin love it... like this guy losing his mind in the first and second verse about the intensity of emotion and me sitting here just like "oh honey you wait... she's just warming up!" 😂
I'm a fellow Aussie. Kasey is a living legend in Australia whether you like country music or not you LOVE Kasey ❤❤
Also, yes.. Em saw it and gave Kasey the rights to release it on Spotify. He loved it.
@stanroach2842 this may be technically true...but it would be naive to say that the copyright wasn't released without Em pushing for it... Do the Lakers make a trade without consulting LeBron? The Warriors without involving Curry?
@stanroach2842 Apologies. I must have picked up some disinformation somewhere along the line. Cheers for letting me know.
I read an interview with her and thought she said she contacted Em directly for permission. Firstly, my understanding is she doesn't need permission to perform it, she does have to have permission to record it for release or video. She had the audio recording but not video as that was not planned. To get the video, after getting permission from whomever, she sent a message out on some platform asking for any footage from cell phone recordings taken that night. She then did the editing to put what you've just seen together. I'm fairly certain she would have sent the sound file to get permission and the final copy for Em to see, but there was no mention of it. Em's team would be foolish not to allow this. It is so demonstrative of the brilliance of Em's lyrics...they transcend time, genre, gender...they are powerful and show a mastery that most don't process. From what I read, Kasey did release music here in the US on the country music scene with very moderate success and even wrote a song, I believe titled "Am I Not Pretty Enough" which is directed at the country music industry here in the US. This part was 2nd hand information. I don't follow country music so I don't know what else she's released here.
@@dmj4966 Copyrights aren't "released". What would be naive would be to think this company just said " ok, sure em, well just release our ownership of publishing rights to this song because you like it". If she's using this song to make money then she's paying for some licensing right to use it. The company that does own the rights, eight mile style, is currently suing spotify for illegally streaming 235 Eminem songs that they own right to.
Kasey isn't a struggling artist barely scraping by needing handouts and pity from Eminem and eight mile style to sing this. I don't know where this story of Eminem "releasing" the copyright came from or thinking em surely had to have been consulted, because, obviously....
Her cover is better than every other artist that has done this song, but to think she isn't paying for the legal right to use it, while she's making money off it, is some naive romanticized telling of a story that never happened.
Eminem certainly still has a voice in these decisions. For example, he is the one that demanded a politician stop using this song when he was campaigning. I mean, look at the name of the outfit that "owns the rights"... think about it.
Fantastic reaction! Not many reactors have been able to articulate the complexity of her emotions in this piece. Kasey is music royalty here in Australia. She is an independent artist who describes her genre as alt.country which often meanders into other lanes. Her first single, The Captain, was released when she was 19 (I think) and is a fantastic contrast to Ain't No Little Girl, which she wrote much later in life. Both well worth checking out, along with pretty much everything she does cos she's just that good.
Kasey has always been in her own lane. ❤
I've been listening to Kasey from the beginning. Love her❤
Sadly she is under appreciated here
In NO WAY a “boring” reaction, brutha. Every bit of it was beautiful, tbh.
I saw here about 20yrs ago in a small club in Cleveland. She opened for Lucinda Williams. Her Da and brother were in the band and her Mum was selling merch. I think it’s when her album “The Captain” came out. I was blown away and told everyone about her. This gives me chills n tears every time I watch it. Brilliant!
On your first break when you were talking about stage presence, I was thinking, just wait
Ok, a couple of things I have to say.
Firstly I am thankful to Kasey for allowing me to have a better appreciation for Eminems lyrical ability. Was never a fan of rap ir him, but Kaseys version forced me to take a second look, and he is quite the wordsmith.
Secondly and by extension, I have now through Kasey discovered your channel. There is a fine line with reaction channels. Some just barely manage to nod along to the beat and yell "that's amazing " every so often, and some reactors think they are the star and just dribble on abiut nothing.
You on the other hand seemed to have struck a nice balance between tge two and actually add to the experience of sharing the original material.
Third : Kasey is essentially a C and W singer with occasional forays into popular music. Don't expect any of her originals to be like Lose Yourself. There is a nice little unintentional trilogy she has put together over the years. 1. Am I not pretty enough 2. The Captain and 3. Ain't no little girl. Check them out in that order.
Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Chronological (and emotional growth) order them 2, 1, 3.
Or we could not be condescending and judgmental. Just as an experiment?
@@tnae Wait,what? I didn't think I was being condescending or judgemental?
@@manbearpig7359 if that’s true then I’m glad I could help you out.
@tnae No seriously please explain which part of what I said is judgemental or condescending? I complemented your channel, Kasey Chambers and Eminem. And suggested some songs of hers you may like....
Great reaction! I was lucky enough to be in the crowd for this performance. Not something I’ll soon forget. I’ve been a fan of hers for many, many years, she’s well known here in Australia. Her YT subscriber numbers is not something she’d give a moments thought to btw, just not the type to care about such things.😊
Every reactor to this song has asked "Has Em seen this? I hope he has". Yes he has & Our Kasey has the rights of this song on Spotify, RUclips etc - enough said. Welcome to the rabbit hole, always listen to Aussie music "live" - we Rock ❤️🇦🇺🦘
How do you know he's seen it? The fact that Kasey has rights to it just means that Em's record company is happy to accept royalties from the performance.
@@andrew7648 Finally got some answer to this. The gossip in the Australian music industry is that he did contact her, did like it and has chosen to NOT to claim any of the royalties on Spotify, leaving it all to her. Just nothing out there that says it officially.
You embody how I feel *every* *single* *time* I watch this.
If you want to see the emotional progression of Kasey:
1) The Captain; (worthless follower)
2) Not Pretty Enough; (when the music industry didn't embrace her the same way they elevated the "pretty" female artists)
3) Ain't No Little Girl (The powerful goddess she is today)
Next on my playlist.
i’ve watched over 120 reactions to this, from smart, incisive, sensitive, appreciative 99%, through to a couple of dumb arse. You nailed it! thanks for your informed and heart felt review. BTW Kasey is an independent artist. Publicist??? I think that’s her mum and dad or her brother Nash.😂😂😂
Absolutely brilliant reaction mate.You totally understand why she did this version.I understand Eminem has given Kasey permission to put this on Spotify. Kasey is a legend here in Australia.She has had her struggles getting her music out to the public. Radio stations wouldn't air her music because of her genre. But she beat the narrow minded idiots that wouldn't promote her, purely over a genre. She wrote a couple of songs that made the music charts. In the years that followed, she has won ARIA awards...Again thanks for your reaction. The best reaction I have seen... Thanks
While most talent managers and/or lawyers are able to green light monetizing another artists cover, a lot of artists who have a strong connection with their craft won't allow it unless they themselves approve. Eminem is such an artist, so I'd be almost certain he's heard it. I would kill for a video of his reaction
This information has been doing the rounds, I very much doubt that this is accurate!
All I can say is I was BLESSED years ago and was given the opportunity to see her and her band in Midtown, Atlanta, Georgia, IT WAS THE BEST CONCERT I EVER SAW...so happy to have had that night...if you ever get that opportunity...TAKE IT...THANKS for this❤
I heard Eminem did a pretty good cover of this song...
When I first saw this performance, I struggled to articulate how it affected me. Thank you for helping me with that.
Aussie here. I've watched this performance many, many times, including lots of reactions to it. It always makes me emotional, and while all reactions are great, your's is the best I've seen. Love your take on it.
I understand your point about being poor. When I was young there was no social security.
We squatted in unused and abandoned homes in the country and stole sheep to survive (among other things).
The house had no plumbing, toilet or electricity. Not even a floor, just dirt. We slept on old gym mats we got from the rubbish tip.
We hunted as well as fished, and had a chicken run and a veggie patch. We never went hungry.
We went without a lot, food wasn't one of them because we knew what the land had to offer.
A lot of families did back then. We would share what we got with others who had things we didn't, like clothes and shoes.
We were resilient!
Kasey illustrates the genius of emnem’s lyrics, because it’s those lyrics that resonated with her so much that it brought out THIS. And she and the band did have to go this hard and this nasty, because it’s what she’s feeling. That’s emotion made form in music, and that pain and rage and resentment is made beautiful in its truth and in its power.
Thanks for opening up, absolutely wasn't boring at all.
When I was 19 things were tight and I ended up staying at my grandma's house, with a portable DVD player binge watching the Sopranos. I always remember that episode that ended with The Captain, the Kasey Chambers song "you'll be the captainnn, I'll be no one .." 😢
I’ve heard this many times and today I’m just sobbing. ❤ love and hope to everyone currently hurting. Breath and take it one second at a time if that’s all we got 💜
She was marginalized for the first part of her career and came out with a song "Not Pretty Enough". She lived this song and it absolutely shows.
5 million views is small potatoes for what her video should have. Over a billion...
Great reaction, Brandon! When I heard Kasey's version of this song for the first time, I was blown away. She put so much emphasis on the lyrics and conveying emotion, it's fantastic. Of course, she also has a great voice. Who would have expected such a cover version of Eminem's song? 😉
I feel Eminem’s version is solely that of a rapper & always related to that. Kasey turned it to a story teller performance…the story of every artist battling to find their place & success while maintaining their lives. Kasey knows this struggle well. I think watching her first hit single ‘not pretty enough’ will help fill in the start of her story
If you notice the odd way it's filmed, it's because her audience recorded it on their phones and sent her team copies to edit. Brilliant work all round.
Just because I haven’t seen it mentioned, that’s her dad on the lap steel. They had a family band for years before she became a solo artist.
Don't think there's much acting in that performance. She actually feels this to the core..
She grew up in a musical family and did her "apprenticeship" traveling the country. She was very skilled even an a young age and ended up leading the family band.
When she first tried to break out as a solo act she faced many negative people and closed doors. Radio stations would not play her new music.
She persevered and her following grew until she had several No1 hits before and is now the youngest inducted into the hall of fame!!
She lived this song!!
Thanks mate! Us Aussies certainly know of Kasey. There is so much more to check out. Once you go down the rabbit hole you will find that there is so much talent in Australia.
She has always loved this song and wanted to commemorate it. This was her first performance after lock down. I think the way she delivers this hits hard knowing what we all witnessed going on around the world to people. She is so powerful in this moment.
If you liked this one you're going to love her original stuff.
'Ain't no Little Girl' - Live at the Bluegrass Underground - is your next stop.
One thing Australian singers do maybe better than anyone else is perform not just sing the words but portray the emotions vocaly and physically and emotionally they know how to give a true performance. I would suggest you check out Jimmy Barnes singing Stone Cold featuring Joe Bonamassa. John Farnham singing Help live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. And Mat Corby singing Brother live acoustic on JJJ like a version. This last one is also an amazing performance something special and unique. This was the first reaction of you'rs I have seen looking forward to many more. Subscribing now.
Totally agree.
What David said. Awesome recommendations
Hit the nail on the head 👍🏼❤️🇦🇺😊
Farnham doing When the war is over with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra
Shes not crying mate . it's called passion most big aussie artist's have they learn very early if you can engage the audience and have the hanging on every word . creates a very personal emotional experience.kacy,jimmy ,john ,micheal ,paul .ac/dc and many other aussie artists passion
It isn't so much crying that you are hearing, but emotional keening like you hear with Irish singers, I believe. Kasey started with her family's band "The Dead Ringer Band". The family when not on a country circuit spent the rest of the year hunting foxes and rabbits [vermin] for pelts on the Nullarbor Plain [semi-arid desert area]. So the family knew what it was to have a sort of feast and famine lifestyle I suppose you could call it. She is a contemporary of Eminem's and was having her own struggles, when this came out she had written her break through song "Ain't Pretty Enough" because she wasn't exactly in any genre, and radio stations ignored her. That song got radio play and led to an ARIA . It is so nice to hear someone appreciate her talent. She leaves nothing on the stage. "Ain't No Little Girl" is another of her own and well worth a listen, whether live or official video you will get the emotion from Kasey.
EM did see it and allowed her to release it…or so i heard ….. i knew you would love this.
The label allowed it, not Em. Don't forget the forget the artist on most songs don't own the rights to their song.
another great reaction, as it is nearing christmas try reacting to my two favourite aussie christmas songs, how to make gravy by paul kelly and white wine in the sun by tim minchin
Two of the best secular Christmas songs out there, no mention of Santa or snow. But the best of "holiday spirit" if you're not into the religious side of things. Or hate what it's been turned into.
Best reaction to the best ever live performance, thank you.
Love how they are belting out the last portion and Kaseys dad is still chilled out with his head bowed over the steel guitar
We love Kasey, she has literally lived a life in music growing up in a band, and there with her father on stage. She regularly and cleverly weaves parts of her life into her performances.
I'd love to see your reaction to "Ain't No Little Girl" , one of the live versions.
Try the nderground Bluegrass version. As with most Australian artists, they shine in front of an audience.
ruclips.net/video/OeWzXIkA8Rg/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Dude she is not doing this on a whim. Her family is in the band. Her father. Yes. She’s just good at emotion. HER FAMILY IS SOLID. 💪
What a great reaction to the best performance i have ever heard or seen.
Thank you for this reaction … and for trusting us with such an intimate part of your life. As a parent myself, I think most of us have felt like we are failing our children in one way or another.
How can we possibly be perfect at something we’ve never done before? As Ren said - “we must not forget that we ARE human beings”.
As for Kasey … she is brilliant and this cover is absolutely my favourite version!
Oh Brandon. You feel music just like I do. I knew you’d love this one.
And I’m always down for story time! Your love for your children oozes out of you. ❤❤❤
Thank you, Rana 🥰
I have to sheepishly confess that I'd never heard the original version, but this performance blew me away the first time I heard it, and every time since.
Wonderful honest reaction! I cry every time I hear this song, particularly when she sings "He goes home and barely knows his own daughter" because, as a father of three, this hits hard.
And like you, I went through an extremely rough period a few years ago. For most of my working life I had it so easy, earning ridiculous money and never having to worry about where the next buck came from. Then, at 60, job opportunities dried up and I was unemployed for almost 2 years without any unemployment benefit. I had to dig into savings, all the while deluding myself that things would get better. Then I had to face the reality and had to explain to my kids that I couldn't afford birthday or Christmas presents. I remember walking around the city, in the cold, watching everyone around carrying big bags of gifts and feeling so useless, a failure. But as you said, the kids picked up on my predicament and were extremely supportive. The whole experience has actually made better people out of all of us, me and the kids. I'm sure you feel the same way and I wish you a brighter future. One love!
I normally hate the sound of steel guitar in country and western music, but in a lot of moody Bluegrass it just sounds and feels so different. And in this performance Bill Chambers just makes that lap steel wail and moan.
Years ago a friend showed me a vid she took at a studio session. it was about 10 minutes of Bill and Kasey just having fun, dueling lap steels, and it was mind blowing.
Bill sure played the daylights out of that lap steel. Amazing.
Thank you for being vulnerable and allowing it to show. Kasey put everything into this song and it bled from her soul! Anything Kasey does is great but if you can always choose the live performances. ‘Ain’t No Little Girl’ Live Bluegrass Underground session, is an original and is almost as powerful.
Kasey was performing live with her family's band from a very young age. Fun fact, that's her dad, Bill, on the slide guitar in this performance.
For some reason I recognize her name, but she was new to me. What a performance! Thanks for sharing your emotions to it, Brandon. Last night, when I watched another video you did, I kind of realized that you must have had some issues yourself, when ended the video the way you always do.... Be strong, my friend, but cry if you have to. Don't give up.
Watch John Farnham live with the Melbourne symphony orchestra! There are two songs you must listen to! (1) help ( beatles cover) and (2) your the voice! which is his own song !!!!!! MUST WATCH! Both as they show his vocal abilities and he is Australian same as Kasey chambers
The GOAT
Finally, someone who gets her. Have subbed for this. Great reaction. If you like this, you're going to love her song "Ain't no little girl ".
Fantastic reaction. I actually love it when a reactor relates to something and truely feels it and shows it and explains why. Thank you for sharing that personal story too.
❤thank you for sharing your story! From what I read somewhere, not sure if it's true but Eminem did saw it and said she can have this song and listed to her album, but again not sure if it's true
Your emotions and articulation of the emotions in the song and then parallel the song with your own life is why I subscribed to your channel.
I bet there's a whole lot of artists out there saying why didnt i think of doing that, A real surprise from Kasey who is more country bluegrass, The 2017 version of The Captain from paste studios New York is also very emotional a seemingly simple but heart felt song portrayed with real emotion
Man you got it from the very beginning, you captured my heart watching you as you watched her. So many reactors can't comprehend or interpret what she's doing. You could frim the get go. On ya man! from a(mature) Aussie woman🤘🏼
Yeah very intense, brings tears to my eyes, what a performance.
I first saw Kasey live in 2002 or 2003, She's an amazing artist and is so great at connecting emotionally with her music, and projecting that to the crowd. I liked Em's version of this, like pretty much guy around my age, but I never really listened to the lyrics, Kasey made me really feel them. There are so many great songs of Kaseys that you should hear, I was trying to come up with a list, but it was almost her whole discography. The Captain was her first big single from her first album, she wrote Not Pretty Enough about the fact that she couldn't get played on mainstream radio, and ironically it became a huge mainstream hit, I also love Nullabor Song, Million Tears, This Mountain, Falling Into You, and If I Were You from the same album. Wayward Angel was a song to her son, promising that she won't be perfect, but she'll always be there for him, Mother is another one I love from that album, I could go on forever.
You loved this, I think you will also love (Aint no little girl )
This ☝️💯. Definitely my favourite of all of Kaseys songs
Thanks mate, I appreciate your story. Solid reaction, thank you!
I could see on your face thirty seconds in that you knew you were listening to something special, and I greatly appreciate that! She took Em's song and showed us what the true meaning behind the lyrics were. Unbelievable!
Wow. Best reaction to this song. 🔥
I have watched many, many reviews of this song, but dude - your pure emotional and thoroughly honest reaction is right up there. I too felt the angst, desperation and hopelessness triggered heartache, only to be taken by the shirt and shaken into wakefulness with that transition to the third stanza. And you portrayed all of that with such raw empathy - I've still got goose bumps, even after spending the time required to draft this comment. Kudos to you ...
Thank you for being so strong & wearing your heart on your sleeve like that. Kasey's version honours Eminem well. For ears as sliw & old as mine I suddenly have a much better appreciation of his lyricism. And she's managed to keep his cadence to some extent. After seeing this I've looked at other artist's non-wrap covers & they seem to lose that (I'm looking at you, Kelly Clarkson). Kasey's only a few years younger than Eminem, was hitting (country) charts in the US about the same time as this song with her own complaint against the industry, and grew up in a family of performing musicians. So it would not surprise me if Kasey has first hand experience to back this song. Especially in Australia due to its size & shallowness of markets. Even so, she's made it into the ARIA Hall of Fame here.
This performance is made even more powerful knowing that the man playing guitar is her dad, and that she grew up the child of a working musician, so there's two generations in this story.
Also, the interesting visual style is because they didn't record video, but when they realized how special this performance was--they reached out to fans and got video from them, and stitched it together.
You have a lot of recommendations to watch her most popular stuff, but my favorites are: Rattlin' Bones, Wheelbarrow, and the amazing live performance of Runaway Train
Wow!!!! I knew it Casey's music.. or I THOUGHT I did! WHY have I never seen this?
Love Eminem. Never knew Casey had done this. Just WOW!
I appreciate the open emotion and honesty shown in this reaction. Kasey is a Gem of Australian artists and her years of touring and struggle and honing her craft are on full display. Australia is a tough and unforgiving land and has moulded the people in a similar way. To gain any success as an artist here is constant shows all over the country playing small and sometimes remote locations usually in the back corner of a Pub. The crowds, usually fuelled by a few brews, are not backward in expressing Their opinion of the performance. So either entertain the bastards with your talent, stagecraft, hopefully both or be prepared for the alcoholic fuelled criticism. The tough environment polishes Aussie artists to a level above. You should dive further into Kaseys catalog, she is a talent loved in Australia that the rest of the world is yet to discover. Australia has a lot of talented artists like this, It a very deep Rabbit Hole. For another emotional performance have a look at Matt Corby and “Brother” from Tripple Js “Like a Version”. You will not be disappointed. Cheers from Tassie
The first time I saw Kasey was in 1998 at the Yallah Woolshed being opening act for Chris Isaak. She sung songs from her The Captain album months before it was released
This!! I’ve watched SO MANY reacts to this clip, and as much as I freakin LOVE the song, I’m finding myself watching for the reactors reactions.. the total amazement on their faces.. the “is that a banjo?”.. and then the absolutely insane reaction when she hits high gear! I love that she can bring the reactors to tears, she’s such a powerful and under rated artist around the world. There’s only been one negative react so far which is unbelievable!
@ThatsNotActingEither thank you for not disappointing me 😊 you’ve got yourself a new subscriber, because you aren’t afraid to get raw honesty out in front of the world.. and because you liked our girl Kasey 😂. G’day from Australia 🇦🇺
Beautiful reaction man.
🫶
Kasey predates the RUclips generation - she's an established artist here in Australia. I think for artists of that generation, youtube views and the like do not show their popularity. Kasey was part of her family's country band (her dad plays slide guitar on this video) before trying to go solo. That was tough as she wasn't getting airtime on popular radio stations with her style of music. That changed with the release of the heart-on-her-sleeve, heart-wrenching but easy listening pop ballad "Am I not pretty enough?" back in the 90s.If you want to listen to something very different but just as genuine, that's a good place to start.
Great reaction/analysis - expressing how I feel each and every time I hear this track - I have heard it a lot and watching RUclipsrs react is a rabbit hole unto itself. There will be plenty of suggestions for her lighter radio friendly tracks to come but I also suggest you have a listen to an acoustic session - raw, honest and beautifully recorded "Kasey Chambers - Full Session - 7/7/2017 - Paste Studios - New York, NY" - the songs from that session are also offered as individual tracks on the channel as well.
Kasey is an incredibly successful and respected artist and a mother - a parent connects to the lyrics of this song in an additionally deep way - the lyrics are inspiring for anyone who listens - while the banjo and Kasey's band demand attention and feeling... Kasey wants to do this song justice because she's a fan of Eminem and to do that she's got to be in the lyrics...
I think it is the best cover I've ever heard!!! Very cool reaction and the stuff about your kids was fine. Check out John Farnham's cover of the Beatles' Help!
Great reaction, thank you.
I've seen a LOT of reactions to this, but yours is right up there amongst the best. Thank you for sharing the raw emotion this evokes............as it did with most of us when we saw it for the first time.
❤ Thank you for appreciating Kasey’s voice. Kasey has always given 110% of herself in her live performances…that is why she has been Aussie music royalty for 25+ years! ❤ The performance is only enhanced by her Dad, Bill, playing slide. ❤ Have to say though that this has to be Kasey’s best live performance ever! The banjo playing is completely insane…who would think to play banjo in a rock setting! 😮
I've watched so many people react to this, and you're the only one who actually can tell by her voice that she has gone through so much hardship and that she related to the same struggles Eminem went through, but by the time Eminem made this song, even though he never forgot what he went through, he was a multi millionaire and I can't say for sure, but it seems that she just got out of hers. I was waiting for someone else to realize how much emotion was going on.
Heartfelt reaction, for sure. You heard the emotion she put into Em's song. Well done.
Excellent mate!.
What a bloody good reaction!.
Excellent!.👍👍👍
First time viewer here mate. What an epic reaction to Kasey’s masterpiece of a performance. You perfectly described my exact reaction to the first time I heard this Lose Yourself rendition by Kasey. It makes my body vibrate every time. My friend, if this is the caliber of your content and your reactions, I’m pissed that you only have 39k subscribers. You deserve 10x that number mate. You are raw, real, genuine and the way you express your emotions is gritty and brilliant. Good job! If you choose to go down the very deep and exceptionally jaw dropping tunnel of Australian musical talent, you definitely should. Aussie’s are very loyal and they love anyone who loves our fellow Aussie’s so if you want my advice to get the recognition you deserve, keep reacting to Aussie content and your channel will absolutely grow! Merry Christmas, stay safe and look after yourself! Big love from down under!
Loved your raw honest beautiful reaction! Hope you will sit and listen with your now grown daughter and son together as a family. I’m sure it will mean sooooo much to your darlings. Amanda 🇦🇺 Ps i got to meet with Kasey Chambers many years ago. Super down to earth she would also love your reaction x
You need to go back & rewatch the part where she pours it all out & where you put your head down & missed her emotion... 19:15 or just after. 👍
✌️❤️🇦🇺🪃
Best cover of a song 🎶 ever 😮😮😮 😂💚💚💚💚 I loved your story bc I’ve been there and it is very traumatic - I was a single mom w no child help or financial support from my son’s dad for yrs and it leaves you scarred 😢 I once had only enough money to buy a bag of potatoes and one pound of hamburger meat to last for over a week or maybe it was two. I had a jar of pickles and that’s what I ate so my family could eat the food - I was in X-ray school on a free scholarship and I would count pennies for gas to go to school bc I knew it was my way out of this situation so That was my one shot and I knew I could not fail. I finished school w the second highest gpa and got the second highest score on my national registry test ( like a rn goes thru ) God bless all who struggle as parents to make a better life for their kids. 😢 I had to watch this twice ok so over and over and over 😮 I will be subscribing to your channel
Thanks for the amazing reaction. One thing that no one ever touches on in these reactions is that Kasey is a mother as well as a performer so when she talks about being scared for her family it is real. I think you connected with this when you had the reaction you did as a parent. I agree with you that Kasey is criminally under appreciated in this country although a legend in Australia. Thanks for spreading the word.
I love this version of the song, I hope Em has watched it, I keep watching reactions to it, this version is just so REAL & RAW.
As for the story about your family, NEVER apologise for the stories that made you You, we have all been there & especially now it's just bloody hard, just keep doing you.
Great reaction mate.
Oh by the way Kasey is a fantastic artist.
In what has quickly become a sub-genre in its own right, this is the best reaction to this song I’ve seen (and I’ve seen a ton). Thank you for taking your time and sharing what it was dredging up for you - that put it to the next level.
As far as the performance is concerned, it's one of the greatest I've ever seen. She hits me in the feels every few seconds. The reaction is easily the best reaction to this song that I've seen. easy sub for me. 27 minutes well spent.
Absolutely amazing reaction mate. I love watching reactors see & hear this for the first time. It's nice to see I wasn't the only one mesmerised by her performance, emotions, and abilities to arrange such an amazing version. How gutsy for an Aussie alt country singer to take on one of Eminem's most popular songs. Lots of other Kasey's songs to listen to & so much more Aussie music for you to react to . Jimmy Barnes/Cold Chisel, John Farnham, Guy Sebastian, Midnight Oil, LRB, Billy Thorpe & the Aztecs, INXS, Crowded House...so much more to enjoy ❤
Nothing wrong with showing emotion ! Love your reaction ! I’m only 33 years old . The first 5 years of my life were the absolute worst . My parents were divorced when I was only 2 or 3 years old. My dad left my mother because she was seeing other people to fuel her drug addiction. My
Brothers and I were slowly won in the court system by my dad. All 4 of us 1 at a time ! I had close to nothing . My mind is set to not buy new clothes or shoes unless it absolutely necessary. I’ve learned live off the absolute minimal when it comes to food. My dad and stepmom are incredible people they both taught me a lot. At the age of 23 I ended up being diagnosed with a thankfully benign brain tumor
Or that was 8cm in diameter. I was put through an extensive surgery ! 32 hours from start to finish . My doctor told me things were going great until they reversed anesthesia …….. I died on the operating table. Laid unresponsive for several minutes until only god knows how , that they were able to get me back . I try to cherish every minute I have on this earth, also learned I’m somewhat talented musically and I decided to play the bass! I hold the pocket really well and get emotionally involved in music too
what an amazing reaction! By far the most emotional one too. Thoroughly enjoyed you man, I also feel your pain with your past.
You clearly got this version, and felt Kasey's pain. She *has* lived all this, for years.
She's amazing.
I need to add....you are so honest and heartfelt in your reactions, you are feeling *everything* she's saying and singing. Thankyou.
RIGHT!!!!! If she played this in almost ANY city in the U,S, we would have lost our fkn minds!! and that audience looked UNIMPRESSED...LIKE wtf?? EM hasn't shared any reaction that I'm aware of. Maybe he doesn't own this?? and YEAH I'm surprised she isn't bigger. Who knows why. I loved your reaction and I FELT YOU about having just enough for "dinner" at Mc d's.
The Civic Theatre is an old theatre that seats around 1400 people and has no standing area, it's not the easiest venue to get rowdy lol
Loved your reaction, thank you. Please do more Kasey songs - always choose live versions, they're the best.
I watched many reactions a few months ago. Something drew me to yours, an empathic analysis of exactly what she has been through. I'm not born Australian but live here. You hit the nail on the head with your take on the pain and anger, all lived apparently. I feel your personal struggles too, can relate. 😊😊
Hi Brandon, Thank you for expressing your authentic, emotional reaction and sharing your lived experience. This is my 150th ish time listening to and watching reactions.
I wasn't going to post a comment... just 👍others' beaut msgs which I echo in my heart and soul/spirit.
I've just subbed to your channel.
I agree with your: Be kind to each other. Be kind to yourself logo.
All the best from Debbie in Australia. ✌☮🕯💙
Kasey is Australia, I thank her for showing the world
Fantastic reaction, honest and heartfelt.
Kasey feels every word and gives it her all. Brilliantly reimagined.
Thanks for sharing your personal experience and how this performance effected you!
apparently, he has heard it and gave Kasey permission to load it onto Spotify
Loved your reaction to our Kasey. Everything you were saying and feeling thru it was exactly how I felt first time watching. Seems you've already been given all the info you need on her. Enjoy
amazing commentary on the amazing performance of this song. you can feel the emotions in this performance. Greetings from Poland.
Well done mate, your reaction is so in sync with Kasey. Thankyou, and yes she has lived her own life experience of the song.
