Eminem brought the lyrics but Kasey brought the emotion. Her interpretation and arrangement of the song is brilliant. The best cover ever. Absolutely loved it.
I used to buy fish and chips from Kasey's family shop as a young fella when hunting around Southend, South Australia. She was about 10 years my junior and even then you could tell there was something special about her. The whole of Australia is immensely proud of Kasey and her amazing musical family. That's her dad on the slide guitar. Kasey reached out to the audience and asked them to submit their phone recordings of this performance so this video could be spliced together. Probably my favorite song outside of this is Rattlin' Bones, with (now ex) hubby Shane Nicholson, which was featured in the series Hell On Wheels. One similarity occurs to me. When Trent Reznor saw/heard Johnny Cash's treatment of Hurt, he said "This is no longer my song. It belongs to Johnny." I love Eminem's song, but can't help but believe that Kasey somehow hijacked it. I'd love to know what Eminem thinks of this. I can't count how many times I've watched her video of this song or other reactors. Thanks for reacting.
I love it when reactors actually let themselves feel the emotion in this song. So many, men in particular start talking as soon as you see any emotion hit their face so they don’t have to feel it 🥰👍
Great reaction, thanks for not interrupting this, it still gives me goosebumps and I've watched it 70 or so times, it's probably the greatest performance I've ever witnessed.
Your reaction was absolutely spellbinding - beautiful. Kasey leaves it all out there every time - just a legend. You need to check out some more of her live stuff. 'Ain't no Little Girl' - live at the Bluegrass Underground - enjoy.
This is absolutely the whole package. From the lyrics, to the band, Kasey's passion and the phone footage. Eminem made this song iconic, Kasey Chambers made it epic. G'day mate from Australia.
I appreciated the tears mate... I had them too when I watched it, and still get them. It is an incredibly emotional performance and shows so much respect to the original. Kasey however has made this song her own and I hope Eminem has watched it, if only to appreciate that respect.
I've watched her video & listened to it on Spotify literally hundreds of times (even though I picked up on it well after this was uploaded). It still hits hard, every single time. Such a great rendition. I've never been into rap, but gotta give props to Em's writing.
Great reaction mate. You should check out jimmy Barnes…another Aussie legend! Stone cold with Joe Bonamasa. Also Cold Chisel (Jimmy Barnes band) when the war is over and bow river both live from 2003
congratulations for a beautiful honest reaction, this is what you get from australian artists, you don't get a performance you a part of a genuine experience, try listening to brother by matt corby live for like a version, i think you'll love it too
Kasey tapped into the lyrics in a deeply unflinchingly raw way. The lyrics speak of grabbing for opportunity and it is an anthem of feeling hyped up and pumped up for a chance at greatness, absolutely. There is also that deep desperation in those lyrics. That feeling of walking the knife edge of almost giving up on yourself. Kasey tapped into that part of the lyrics, which is brilliant and delivered with such raw emotion.
one of the best reactions I've seen...You listened....you felt...you were moved to tears. I have seen this so many times but always feel the same amazement of just how Kasey brought it to life. Eminem would be proud of her I'm sure. Like & Subbed Love from Australia. ps if/when you do another Kasey Chambers song..try "Ain't No Little Girl" either live or her official video is so awesome as well.
Kasey Chambers is an Australian legend: the youngest person to be inducted into the Australian Music Hall of Fame, a dozen albums and has more than 30 ARIA Awards (the AU Grammy's). She is beloved but is ignored by radio and was shunned by Sony. She's been performing in her father's band since she was 12 years old (her brother is backing vocals and her dad is on the steel guitar on stage here). She had some pop hits in the 90s but her heart and soul is Country in her own style. She wanted to commemorate the 20th anniversary of this song because she loves Eminem, and she had the time to rearrange and compose this masterpiece during lockdown. She is showing so much emotion because she has lived this to a degree as well. She is now 48 years old and a mother of three. This recording is the first time it was ever performed live and was done at the end of the concert. They thought it went well, so they used the recording from the sound desk and asked their fans who were in attendance to provide any footage they had to composite this one together. While there has been no public approval from Em, she has been allowed to put this song up on Spotify without challenge.
Brilliant reaction dude, you really connected with her. I have watched this performance hundreds of times and yours was one of the best reactions to it. I was lucky enough to see her play this song live a couple of weeks ago in Melbourne, it was a daytime concert with fewer band members so not as dramatic, but still totally awesome!
Hey bShaw, nice honest reaction man, you obviously respect Em, yet paid Kasey her dues for an amazing 'make it your own' cover of an already great song. We love her here down under and she always gives every song her everything, with that amazing, unique voice. Noted your comments about the magic of the audience singing your song back to you. If you would like a classic (Aussie) example of audience love, then you need to check out John Farnham's amazing cover of The Beatles 'Help!' - Live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (if you haven't already, couldn't find it on your page). God bless.
You like songs that build??? Go Australia again with Cold Chisel performing Bow River from their 2003 Ringside concert. It's the best version of the song and it builds and builds.
I've watched a gazillion reactions to this video. Your reaction was up there with the best of them, for me. So good I'vejust now subscribed to your channel. Thanks! x Linda / LindyLu from Oz
She is much loved. When returning to her Hometown at Mt Gambier SA those attending her concert outnumbered those in the town. When she started playing one of her top hits (Am I Not Pretty Enough?) she didn’t have a chance - the audience sang it to her.
Would you react to some Eminem. I started my Eminem Journey through lockdown and i am ashamed to say I had not given him a chance or even listened to his lyrics! Some songs I think you would like is…. Leaving Heaven Castle and Arose - it’s two songs but you must listen to both together. Cleaning out my closet ❤❤

It was my pleasure! I am completely blown away at her presence! Can’t wait to hear more! Take care my friend 👍!
As I understand it, he approved her monitising it on Spotify, so I guess that means he's heard it and approves 👍😎😊
@@gordowg1wg145 Yup. He did.
I love it when reactors actually let themselves feel the emotion in this song. So many, men in particular start talking as soon as you see any emotion hit their face so they don’t have to feel it 🥰👍
Great reaction, thanks for not interrupting this, it still gives me goosebumps and I've watched it 70 or so times, it's probably the greatest performance I've ever witnessed.
Definitely one of my favorites now!
Em does a fairly good job of covering Kasey's song!
Who knew that what Lose Yourself needed was a lap steel and power chords on a banjo?!
😀 Right?!?!
Beautiful human reaction brother. Cried right along with you.
Exquisite reaction. Keep it real, dude. I love your raw honesty and vulnerability.
Thank you 💙!
Your reaction was absolutely spellbinding - beautiful.
Kasey leaves it all out there every time - just a legend.
You need to check out some more of her live stuff.
'Ain't no Little Girl' - live at the Bluegrass Underground - enjoy.
I most definitely will be checking out her other material! Incredible!
Great reaction - her dad is the one rocking out on the slide guitar 👍
So awesome!
This is absolutely the whole package. From the lyrics, to the band, Kasey's passion and the phone footage.
Eminem made this song iconic, Kasey Chambers made it epic.
G'day mate from Australia.
I’m absolutely blown away by Kasey and the band mates!
Kasey Chambers is a phenomenon!
I appreciated the tears mate... I had them too when I watched it, and still get them. It is an incredibly emotional performance and shows so much respect to the original. Kasey however has made this song her own and I hope Eminem has watched it, if only to appreciate that respect.
She asked eminem to release it and he gave her the ok
Taking the ride with you was over the top special man❣
It`s called the Magical Musical Moment
Absolutely and I love being in it! 🤟👍
Kasey's version hits hard. I cried, too ❤
I've watched her video & listened to it on Spotify literally hundreds of times (even though I picked up on it well after this was uploaded).
It still hits hard, every single time.
Such a great rendition.
I've never been into rap, but gotta give props to Em's writing.
Absolutely my friend! 👍🤟
G.O.A.T. Heartfelt reaction! You love music sooooooo much. I feel you man. Love and hugs Amanda 🇦🇺❤️
Thank you my friend 💙!
The greatest cover I’ve ever heard. I’m a die hard em fan, this is her song now. That’s CRAZY to say. Em loved it too
🙏🏼 Great reaction- doing the masterpiece justice just with your body language. I love it when a reactor really gets it.
Trust me I got it!!! Thank you!
Thank you Ben. Brilliant
Thank you!
This is special.
Great reaction mate. You should check out jimmy Barnes…another Aussie legend! Stone cold with Joe Bonamasa. Also Cold Chisel (Jimmy Barnes band) when the war is over and bow river both live from 2003

I tear up still and have watched it so many times

Best cover. Kasey kills it.
Absolutely!!!
