It's a testament to Eminem's powerful lyrics and Kacey's musicality and performance skills... She stripped the original bare and remade it... It's not often that we get to hear a masterpiece for the first time, twice...
The first half is all about his feelings of doubt and fear ............ then the anger and determination kicks in in the 2nd half. A brilliant version. She worked on this when she couldn't tour through Co-vid - she perfected it with her Father who is playing the slide guitar. She really makes you feel lyrics. Oh, and before this performance I've never seen anyone shred a banjo!!
@@Rosebud4u1 it wasn't her brother Nash on guitar and backing vocals. It was Brandon Dodd. Although it was her father absolutely killing that Steele lap slide!
The reason it doesn't have more views is because I think too many people won't get outside their own biases. They hear that banjo at the beginning and don't sit still for her HEART pouring out on that stage.
Crazy! They said this was the first time she performed this. They recorded the sound but had no video so she asked fans to send their phone videos in. She cobbled it together and I love the quirky video which adds to the esthetic. Genius covers genius.
Kasey is a superstar with 25 years of gems behind her - she leaves it all out on stage. And you're right this should be huge - keep getting the word out.
Brilliant! Kasey didn't just 'SING' this Kasey 'LIVED' it. Slowly telling the story...then showing the emotion of the song....then ANGER! Wow I had my hand on my heart and tears in my eyes... I believe Eminem would love this as his lyrics are delivered with such passion. thanks for this reaction, saying hi from Australia
Great reaction! It’s an extra bonus when someone knows the original back to front and sees exactly how much she deconstructed and rearranged the track. I appreciated your thoughtful remarks and insightful comments. Well done 👏 😊
Kasey has made it her own. 2"lose yourselves" now. This is Kasey's version showing Eminem's lyricism and it IS fire. Thanks mate for your reaction!!🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Love u kasey.. a true aussie battler.. also got to meet her once yrs ago couldn’t have met a nicer and down to earth person.. she asked so many questions about me and when I told her I’m a nurse who works with the mentally unwell she was in aww of me!! made my day that someone like her was so interested in me..when I said that to her.. I will always remember her saying “I was born with this voice but it takes a real hero to study with the goal of helping others” I love Eminem too, Would love to know his reaction to kasey singing it x
EM was so impressed with the cover he allowed KC to upload it to Spotify. BTW, AU, is Australia. She was 46 when this was recorded. Her dad is on the slide guitar.
Maybe Eminem will make an angry industry rant rap out of "Am I not Pretty Enough" in return? Oddly enough these two are contemporaries with Lose Yourself out in 2002 & the song by Kasey I just mentioned achieving some success on the US (country?) charts in 2001. Kasey has said in the media she's always been a fan of Eminem, too. And I'm sure she can relate to the struggles.
She loved this song and always wanted to do it but, never had time to work on it. During lock down she did. Her first performance after lockdown she did this. Brought to mind all the suffering we all saw and experienced during that time. She felt this to her soul. So did we. I have so much respect for somebody who goes outside of their own usual type of music and reaches out to listen from EVERY type of music. Just think if she was close minded and just stuck to the same music all the time? Then we would have missed THIS. Eminem has heard this and given her permission to put it on Spotify.
Kasey is a great Aussie country singer - her first break out song was ironically written about her not being taken seriously when trying to get a break in the industry - Great song 'Am I Not Pretty enough' - the official version in this one is probably the best.
Loved it. Absolutely brilliant. Your reaction comments were spot on. Eminem loved it and gave her the rights to post it on Spotify. It made me appreciate the genius of Eminem's lyrics even more.
Great reaction and final Indepth analysis from you - much appreciated. I don't know why her channel hasn't got the amount of likes she and her band deserve from this either. She's so brave to do this - but the respect she showed, and understanding. Nashville meets Detroit.
Maybe when people see Eminem cover and a woman with a banjo, they don't expect a good cover. Also it is hard to imagine anybody doing it justice since nobody successfully made a cover of his song,ever before and people go over this one. But they are robbed of an amazing opportunity to re-live this impactful song like the first time for the second time in life! It is crazy how she kept the big emotion and power of lyrics trough completely different melody.
I think this doesn’t have more views because people are stupid like myself 😂 I have been seeing this on reactor’s thumbnails for at least 2 months and I didn’t check it out until today. I am a huge Em fan and thought it would suck. This blew me away. 🔥🔥🔥
Great reaction, and love the tee btw! Kasey has made it her own and gave so much passion and emotion. Loved your interpretation of it. Edit: lol I saw your arm go up during the video, but watching on a phone so didn't see the tatt till the end...now makes sense😂
Your reaction is FIRE. I LOVE THIS. I thought I naw this song until I heard this. She took it apart_ turned it inside out_ filled it with an visceral hunger/ ache. Frisson head to toe.
Fantastic reaction and greetings from Australia. Kasey is an Australian musical icon and she totally owned it. I really hope Eminem gets to listen to her interpretation of his song one day. 🇦🇺 🇦🇺 🇦🇺
Eminem himself SHOULD see this! Kasey rips it up makes it her own and makes me not be able to stop listening to it! Never heard of her before yet from what i have learned she had hard time making it because radio stations wouldnt play her stuff because she wasnt pretty enough for the industry. But from what we all see here she is amazing. Talent is out the roof with this. I admit country music isnt for me and maybe thats half the reason i not heard of her but this is phenomenal. She loves Eminem and wanted to make her own version of it while in covid. And from what i have learned this song says everything about what she went through trying to make it, the words of this rap song speak to her and thats why she shows so much emotion singing it. Well done Kasey!!!
When Eminem heard Kasey Chambers’ poignant take on “Lose Yourself,” his positive reaction mirrored more than simple approval. By granting Chambers the nod to feature her cover on Spotify, Eminem displayed a genuine respect for her craftsmanship-a sentiment many of Eminem fans of Kasey Chambers undoubtedly share.
Well you go and win brother. Grow this Chanel, and you Aussies out there get behind this man wanting to win at life. Chase your dreams mate and don't believe in never. If you want some more inspiration, watch Mason Cox Don't believe in never, he's an American playing in the Australian football league. It'd be great if you react to it as well. All the best mate. I'm gonna sub right now and hit that bell
Mate, that was one of my favourite reactions. Do yourself a favour and dive deep into Australian music, I would love to see so many more of your intelligent, well spoken reactions to amazing Aussie music.
What I personally as both an Eminem and Kasey fan am disappointed about... is there has been NO RESPONSE from Eminem about this frankly, fucking amazing version of his song..... I mean John Lennon came out in admiration of John Farnhams (another Aussie artist) version of The Beatles song 'Help', literally months before he he was murdered.... what Eminem is 'too precious' 'too jealous'? Fuck that.....
I’ve thought about this and all I can think is that Eminem hasn’t seen it - cause my goodness…..if I created something amazing and someone honoured it like this, I’d be impressed.
The John Lennon thing is extremely apocryphal. What he has said is on record as saying is that he intended it as a slower ballad type song, but the producers wanted something upbeat and peppy.
It does show Eminem’s talent as a writer. Her beginning half- reminds me of something you could hear with some isolated people of Irish decent living off grid in Appalachia
The cadence is pretty much the same, albeit slowed down. Kasey has kept, and upped, Em’s emotional lyricism. ❤ Kasey blew this out of the water. It’s HER song now! ❤

It's a testament to how much of a pussy Eminem is that he hasn't responded to this..... that's what I'm getting from it.....
Great comment.
probably the BEST cover I've ever seen
Agree and ive seen many. It's almost perfect!!
The first half is all about his feelings of doubt and fear ............ then the anger and determination kicks in in the 2nd half. A brilliant version. She worked on this when she couldn't tour through Co-vid - she perfected it with her Father who is playing the slide guitar. She really makes you feel lyrics. Oh, and before this performance I've never seen anyone shred a banjo!!
It was her brother doing the vocal backing & guitar!
@@Rosebud4u1 it wasn't her brother Nash on guitar and backing vocals. It was Brandon Dodd. Although it was her father absolutely killing that Steele lap slide!

Great line brother. "Different train. Same destination".
Kasey love's Em, she did him proud 💥
Kasey is a superstar with 25 years of gems behind her - she leaves it all out on stage.
And you're right this should be huge - keep getting the word out.
This was unreal. Best cover since disturbs sound of silence
Brilliant! Kasey didn't just 'SING' this Kasey 'LIVED' it. Slowly telling the story...then showing the emotion of the song....then ANGER! Wow I had my hand on my heart and tears in my eyes...

This is a musical masterwork. There are a lot of little intricacies in this that are very clever.
Great reaction! It’s an extra bonus when someone knows the original back to front and sees exactly how much she deconstructed and rearranged the track. I appreciated your thoughtful remarks and insightful comments. Well done 👏 😊
Em wrote our Kasey an awesome song - it's hers now 👏💪🇦🇺🎶🦘
Proud Aussie here 🇦🇺 Kasey is fantastic! She has longevity in the music scene. 🎶 ❤
Kasey has made it her own. 2"lose yourselves" now. This is Kasey's version showing Eminem's lyricism and it IS fire. Thanks mate for your reaction!!🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Love u kasey.. a true aussie battler.. also got to meet her once yrs ago couldn’t have met a nicer and down to earth person.. she asked so many questions about me and when I told her I’m a nurse who works with the mentally unwell she was in aww of me!! made my day that someone like her was so interested in me..when I said that to her.. I will always remember her saying “I was born with this voice but it takes a real hero to study with the goal of helping others” I love Eminem too, Would love to know his reaction to kasey singing it x
Em thought highly enough of it he gave her permission to put it on streaming services like Spotify
EM was so impressed with the cover he allowed KC to upload it to Spotify. BTW, AU, is Australia. She was 46 when this was recorded. Her dad is on the slide guitar.

Yes! Eminem doing a rap cover of Kasey Chambers song, what a concept!
She loved this song and always wanted to do it but, never had time to work on it. During lock down she did. Her first performance after lockdown she did this. Brought to mind all the suffering we all saw and experienced during that time. She felt this to her soul. So did we.

Nice one. That WAS fire!

Kasey in an independent artist too ❤
Beautiful reaction. Thoughtful commentary. Thank you for your perspective.
wow great reaction
BRILLIANT
Who ever did this arrangement-BRILLIANT
Great reaction, and love the tee btw! Kasey has made it her own and gave so much passion and emotion. Loved your interpretation of it.
Edit: lol I saw your arm go up during the video, but watching on a phone so didn't see the tatt till the end...now makes sense😂

Awesome!!!
Fantastic reaction and greetings from Australia. Kasey is an Australian musical icon and she totally owned it. I really hope Eminem gets to listen to her interpretation of his song one day. 🇦🇺 🇦🇺 🇦🇺
He let her put this version on Spotify so yeah, he definitely knows about and approves of Kaseys version. 🇦🇺
The anticipation 😅 Then BAM
You're a good man, Dame. I hope you get everything you want in the crazy, strange, mixed up, delicious thing called 'life'. 😉
Amazing
You looked bored in your thumbnail. I nearly didn’t click on. Glad I did. And glad you liked it!!
I've watched tons of people reach and I've liked each one!! The looks on their faces are priceless
One of the best performances OF ALL TIME.

Are there any more good songs by here I should check out ?

Same same but not…Farkin brilliant
Mate, that was one of my favourite reactions. Do yourself a favour and dive deep into Australian music, I would love to see so many more of your intelligent, well spoken reactions to amazing Aussie music.
You are hitting all the points. Well done.
Watch it now...she is gonna grab that pick on that banjo...then shred that banjo...SURPRISE.....MINDBLOWN!!!!!!
❤
Man it is motivational. Alot. I know you like motivation. My pick is 'My life' by Bliss n Eso.
Better than the original, exceptional cover. Thanks matey
What I personally as both an Eminem and Kasey fan am disappointed about... is there has been NO RESPONSE from Eminem about this frankly, fucking amazing version of his song.....

This song is on Spotify and would not be if Eminem did not give her permission.
Wud up doe!!!
You get it
These are all fan phone videos put together!
That's... A puzzling handle, dame. Lol. But dope reaction.
It does show Eminem’s talent as a writer. Her beginning half- reminds me of something you could hear with some isolated people of Irish decent living off grid in Appalachia
Not sure why you say it hasn't had many views. On my screen in Australia it has 274k views
The cadence is pretty much the same, albeit slowed down. Kasey has kept, and upped, Em’s emotional lyricism. ❤ Kasey blew this out of the water. It’s HER song now! ❤
You got a subscription by just mentioning Kill Bill. Big Tarantino fan here.
/you might enjoy the Be Good Tanyas, waiting around to Die.
This definitely aint happening to MGK.
😭bro got hit with the kill shot that’s why
