That would be the Maori language. We're rather proud of Stan Walker here in New Zealand, since he won Australian Idol in 2009. So yes, there IS a connection with our big brother, Australia. We have a friendly rivalry with Australia, but both countries are fiercely independent! The mastermind behind Crowded House is also a kiwi, like Stan, Neil Finn, new Zealand music royalty. Crowded house was a 3 person band, one from New Zealand, one Australian, one from the UK. They established their career in Australia.
You need to find his live studio version of this. Its impeccable. His film clip for I Am is INSANELY GOOD and I cant stop watching it and Amazing Grace is beautiful. So many great choices with Stan
There was a time he thought that he might never sing after his stomach was removed because of the cancer that was present but thank god Stan was able to find his voice again. Stan has always used his voice as a tool to help uplift people, he sings from his heart and soul. Stan has written, sang and produced the song for a movie entitled’Origin’ it’s well worth checking out ‘I am’ (the official video) it was shot live in New Zealand by Stan and 2 of his other friends, it’s very impressive. Enjoy your reactions 👍
Don't dream it's over is Stans version of another New Zealand band who sings the original. The language in the song is the New Zealand indigenous people the Maori language. We love him too.
@@ISBayHudsonok never heard of the Australian members of the band, Finn brothers yes, Tim and other family members joined the band later so they are a New Zealand band. You guys again trying to claim something of ours again.
He is singing in Maori, Stan was born in Melbourne Australia to NZ parents, grew up in Australia and won Australia Idol. He moved back to NZ and is a proud Maori New Zealander and strong advocate for his native people and culture . I am an Aussie and as proud of Stan as anyone our countries share a very close bond By the Way Happy Australia Day : )
To be clear, New Zealanders born on Australian soil are NOT Australian citizens. Stan is a New Zealand citizen only, grew up in both countries, lives in New Zealand and is married to a fellow Kiwi. He competed in the Australian Idol as the NZ Idol show only ran from 2004 to 2006.
stan did not grow up in australia he was born there but grew up in nz - the maori/kiwi accent gives it away - if he grew up in Australia he would have had an aussie accent
You must listen to the song I AM, it’s for the movie origin. Co written by Stan and also the video to it done by him and his cousin. U will see the scenery of New Zealand and it will give u an insight of his culture . As a New Zealander we are proud of Stan and what he gives to his people.
except kiwis born on australian soil are not considered australian citizens as far as the aussie government is concerned - he has kiwi parents so is considered a kiwi but can apply for aussie citizenship he then is an aussie in the eyes of the aussie government - howard changed all the laws when it came to kiwis in Australia - also the nz government considers him a kiwi as his mother is a kiwi so citizenship of nz is automatic - also stan grew up in nz so he really isn't considered an aussie at all just physically born there and lived there a couple of year when he went on Australian idol
He is Maori, native of New Zealand but he was born in Melbourne, Australia so they travel back n forth between Australia and New Zealand. He is singing on his native language (Maori).
Lovely Britt, if you’re interested in reacting to Stan again and also listen to vocals in Te Reo Maori, plus see some of our beautiful country and the Maori culture, you might want to consider his official video for “I Am”
Stan is a New Zealander, He is Maori. He competed and won the Australian Version of a Talent show. Stan has been around a while but got really sick,.He recovered and although changed he has evolved.
he is Maori Born in New Zealand spent his teens in Australia then came back to New Zealand that Language is the Maori language from New Zealand also known as Aotearoa and the band crowded house is an Australian Band formed with new Zealand and Australian Musicians
A crowded house classic written by our amazing song writer and singer Neil Finn. Crowded house is a mix of Aussies and kiwis in the band. Yeah I remember you doing a reaction to crowded house. Enjoy his other music!!!!
Miles Cyrus and Ariana Grande did a version of this song a few years ago which brought this song into the lime light in your country. It's a lovely version of an iconic Australasian song.
I like your curiosity. Born in Aus. Made in Aotearoa/NZ. Singing in Maori language. Maori do have that gospel voice singing in kapa haka and choirs through their church.
Chur my girl, Stan hails from Aotearoa (New Zealand) he is Maori the indigenous people of said country. He sings sometimes in Te Reo (Maori language) God bless ya laydee👍
Thanks for your reaction! 😄Agree re the swag! There's a beautiful live studio performance of 'Don't Dream it's Over' available on Spotify: 'Don't Dream It's Over', Stan Walker - live with the Levites, 2020. It's also on RUclips. Stan is Maori - an indigenous person of New Zealand. Born in Australia and grew up both in NZ (on his ancestral land) and Australia. Now lives in NZ. Maori sounds a bit like Spanish - but there are way less consonants (no s, z, ch sounds etc.).
Hi Brit, loving your reactions to Stan. Yes you've already inducted him into the Penny Dropper Club for "I am the Colour". If you loved this you'll love the Live Studio version. Check out Newlight too.
Loved Stan’s magical voice since I heard him on Australian idol which he went on to win, he is as others have said is indigenous to Aotearoa (NZ) he is a wonderful young man, I admire him greatly for embracing his culture, hes a very humble man, he’s never forgotten who he is and where he came from, I believe he did grow up singing in church, I’ve read different versions of where he was born and where he grew up, I’ve read he was born in NZ but raised in Australia, I’ve read he was born in NZ and raised in Mt Maunganui Tauranga on the Marae, but went to Australia with his parents at a young age, I’ve read he was born in Melbourne, but as a kiwi am so proud of his achievements, he’s a fine young man, he lives back in Aotearoa now with his beautiful wife and two kids, and every song of his is beautiful, not a single one I don’t like, he can sing any song much better than the original 😍👍
You have a beautiful voice yourself Britt! 😍😍😍😍 He is singing in Te Reo Maori (native language) from our Aotearoa NZ 🇳🇿🤍 Can i recommend you react to “I AM” by Stan Walker please?
Kia ora tuahine, (greetings sister), kai te tika tāu (you are right) he sung in the church. Kukarahia (google) He Māori ā ia (he is Māori), from Aotearoa or New Zealand, from the South Pacific, past Australia, down under, down under in the sticks. Katakata (Lol). Awsome listening to your comments. Oh yeah, Ko te reo Māori (the Māori language) is what he is singing in. Mauri Ora tuahine. Be well😃
YOU NEED TO REACT TO HIS VERSION OF AMAZING GRACE!! Talk about taking you all the way to church ⛪️ Also, react to I AM, the video clip from the new Origin movie. 🔥🔥 He's from New Zealand and the language he is using Te Reo Maori
I would also love if you could do a review on the I am song of his. You are the best review vocalist I ve seen support his work. I would also like to say that he nearly died of cancer

No matter who sings this song, it takes me to a Stephen King 1994 tv mini series The Stand, based on my favorite book.
