    Great reaction. “Ultralight Beam” please. One of the greatest male vocal performances out there right now I reckon. 😊

    Bethany, as good things come in threes, you should venture further into the Stan Walker & the Levites rabbit hole by reveling in the soulful gymnastics of their Ultralight Beam rendition.🔥✨

      To the host, thanks for doing this reaction. I just wanted you to know that Stan had his stomach removed because of a hereditary cancer syndrome and has a RUclips video on the treatment and recovery that he endured. He was unsure if he could ever sing again. He's using other parts of his body to support his singing, an amazing feat. On another video he shares parts of his life story before winning the Australian Idol. If you ever get to watch those, you'll understand how Stan Walker is able to invoke strong feelings from his listeners with his arrangements and music. And why he has loyal fans of all age groups all across Oceania and now beyond thanks in large part to these reaction videos. So, thanks again.

    Besides his beautiful voice, Stan Walker is a survival! He has been through so much in his life. There is a documentary on RUclips regarding his journey through stomach cancer and the after affects causing him not being able to sing. Since i accidentally listened to him sing I Am, I am hooked on this amazing young man.

    Great reaction, analysis and informative manner that even I could follow and appreciate. And Yes, this version of Amazing Grace included an original by Stan "I Surrender" and the singing/harmonies are a natural part of his indigenous culture as a "Maori" growing up in New Zealand. Just for clarification the Backing Vocal group are "The Standard", members Ani Nuku, Lilo Asiata, Nathan Peseta, and the Session band is "The Levites" (Named after one of the 12 tribes of Israel from the Old Testament) made up of Christmas Ropati (Guitar) and the Nansen brothers Ross (Drums), Jacob (Keyboard) and Junior (Bass). Hari Tau Hou (Happy New Year) Bethany. You remind me of my niece, similar features.

    Best version of this great lyric. Stan Walker was not a trained vocalist, he is a God given GIFT. He had been thru a lot healthwise but singing carrying him through. He is New Zealander n I remember he was one of the Australian Idol Contestants in 2009. He sang Purple Rain at the Opera House, Sydney n God his voice is insane his version is different n I think he is one of the best artist of Polynesia that I've heard so far. Well, I believe he mixed Amazing Grace with Surrender in this version. What a fantastic job.
