Guys show some love to Kasey. This cover has 10s of millions of views on reaction channels, but the original on her own channel has less than a million views. So swing by and give her a view and a like.
Renegade in the house. Absolutely love our Kasey. It’s funny how people don’t realise amazing she actually is as a country singer. She has covered this song so well because she has lived this song as well. Aussie Aussie Aussie
Living in Australia and listening to bands like AC/DC, Iron Maiden & Metallica I was aware of Kasey, but never really appreciated her. Having found this cover gives me an appreciation for her music I never thought possible. It takes my breath away and gives me goosebumps every time. Amazing performance. Thanks for your reaction.
@@brendoncrofts6714 Let me guess. This is Johnny using a different name. There's no way that's even close. The best-ever covers are things like: 'I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston, 'Respect' by Aretha Franklin, 'Hurt' by Johnny Cash, 'All Along the Watchtower' by Jimi Hendrix, 'With a Little Help from My Friends' by Joe Cocker, and if you want to throw in a Farnham cover, it would be 'Help.'
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 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. At the time of recording she was 46 years old and is 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.
Firstly let give props to the stones it takes to cover the biggest rap song in history from the greatest rapper in history. a song that won an Oscar and everyone alive has heard the original. Then to drop this masterpiece is something special, the creativity to take the song to a whole new level of emotion. Eminem was a millionaire telling his story after the fact more as an inspirational tale of keep dreaming and reaching for that dream. This version delivered the same story but gave the same lyrics a whole new level of the pain of that struggle, the life regrets of chasing your dream and missing out on life's other joys and commitments, then the anger at how one dream reaching crushes the dreams of people you miss out on. The steady build throughout is nothing short of perfection. I was so happy to see you finally put this on. I consider this probably the best live cover I have ever seen in my life.
Only thing on your comment I'd playfully correct is using a Betty white quote on your "takes stones". She said Balls are weak and sensitive. If you really want to get tough, grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding!
This was my adult son’s favorite song during is formative years! Couldn’t share this cover with him fast enough once discovered…bottom line I moved up a huge notch in the cool mom factor🔥😍🔥
Hi buddy like the show being a aussie kasey is great also you should checkout another couple of next level Aussies that the youngsters can aspire to in jimmy Barnes and johnny farnham
Thank you for listening to the whole thing before commenting on her vocalisations, cadence and arrangement. It also needs to be remembered that this was live, not some studio arranged and composed version. Kasey is amazing.
@@n_mckean oh good call. ‘Burn for you’ is a stunning tune and I don’t think many could sing ‘the voice’ the way he does. Still a very relevant song today.
Stepped into a Kasey Concert did ya!? 😂 Just one of the best Singer/ Songwriters Australia has ever produced. Won pretty much every Award going here, and deservedly so. I'm glad you mentioned Ren in the same frame. Casey is also a groundbreaking Soryteller who transcends genres. Enjoy exploring more of her work - & Hi from down here on a beautiful misty morning, after a thundery night, on the banks of the Derwent River near Hobart, Tasmania. 😊
It's the live stuff that grabs ya. I saw her and Shane here in the US years ago. Off the cuff, never heard of them. Mind Blown. Tip o' the hat to you there in Hobart.
I'm inclined to agree this is the "most unique cover ever" on the thumbnail. For about the last five decades I'd have nominated Patti Smith's cover of Van Morrison's 'Gloria' for that title, but Kasey's version of this song transforms the original to another dimension.
Fantastic cover, she makes it her own and feels every word because she has lived every word! Someone already suggested this but I'm going to say it also. One of the best covers ever is John Farnham covering The Beatles' Help with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra... just brilliant!
Great emotional reaction to her, and this! I’ve since become a Kasey Chambers fan…she’s incredible! Her rhythm makes you realize how incredibly brilliant a writer Eminem is….staggering. Two geniuses individually coming together here. Well done!!
That's what struck me about it - she takes Eminem's words and explains them to the non-rap world, showcasing how incredible *he* is while at the same time showcasing how incredible she herself is.
@@Chrisinpommyland There is not now, and never has been, any evidence of that. Eminem doesn't own the rights to the song and has no say in what can be done with the song.
@@cathywethington5913 it doesn't mean that at all. the rights to songs, especially early songs are rarely owned by the artists themselves and are instead owned by the publishing company. In this case, 8 Mile Style, which is owned by Mark & Jeff Bass. Further to that - permission isn't required to be given.

So glad you came across this! Our Kasey is a legend and this cover is the greatest cover of this song ever and one of the best live performances of last year....
I was scanning the comments to see if this had already been requested... YES PLEASE!? Tim, I assure you will be "captivated and engaged" the whole time ;) ps; typo in the above msg should say "Triple J or JJJ" radio station. I'm keen to hear what you've got to say re his vocal ability AND guitar playing skills. Mind you, he plays many instruments and is usually quite mellow with no shoes on nor a comb thru his locks.
Brilliant that you could play the whole song without pausing! We could see you reacting - which was why we were here. But not interrupting? Kudos to you ☺ And your summarising after the first iteration? Very enlightening.
Can you believe this AHHHHH MAZING singer, performer, dead set Aussie legend couldn’t get airplay on Australian radio. I mean COME ON! Listen to her. She’s soooooooooooooo good, this is EPIC. I truly hope that Kasey sees all the comments on here, because she deserves these accolades. And I hope someone shows Eminem, I have a feeling he would love it.
Subscribed just because I want to see your face when you hear John Farnham open his mouth for the first time singing Help with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. One of the most epic covers of all time! Absolutely love Kasey's version of Lose Yourself!
Glad to have you in the journey on this channel! I have to say, if you aren’t a REN fan, you should witness Tim Welch’s REN journey. Even if you don’t like REN, it’s wait til you start down the ren rabbit hole starting With HI REN. . Ask Tim Welch or every other Reactor. Anyway. Tim’s is really cool to watch. Great emotions and world renowned brilliance with his vocal abilities and breakdowns. Have a good one you and everyone! .
Who would have thought an unknown country girl from Australia could cover and completely transform the biggest and award winning song into something unbelievable!!!! ❤❤❤
Apparently this venue was seating space only , so not much room for people to get moshing ! The crowd loved it just couldn't physically show it . Great reaction , we are really proud of our Kasey 👍🇦🇺
You're correct that there is no defining rhythm in the beginning. I'll never forget the first time I heard it. I was completely lost but intrigued at the same time. Then she put down a hint of a rhythm and it just built and built from there. I was all alone but was laughing and clapping at how cathartic and exciting it felt. It was wonderful to see you experience the exact same thing. Cheers for the interesting breakdown! Lastly I'd love you to go down the JOHN FARNHAM rabbit hole if you haven't already. The Beatles cover of HELP with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is mind-blowing. I'd love to hear a professional break that performance down.
This was amazing! I absolutely adore it when artists surprise me with something unexpected. Thank you, Tim, for introducing me to this wonderful artist! I always learn so much from your analysis and breakdowns. 💖🙋♀️
My pleasure, Barbara! It was actually subscribers who recommended I check this out, many times. I’m so grateful to have so much interaction and correspondence with you all. ✨🙏🏼
Kasey is legendary in australia and in Nashville. That first band come in is her son, the steel guitar player is her father. She’s currently 48 yo and has 45 years experience in singing lol
Oh Tim!! So happy you did this one!! Isn’t it incredible? Casey Chambers is an incredible singer. You should check out her song Ain’t no little girl: her vocals are incredible. Great reaction as usual, I love how excited you got when she started to rock. ❤
Sometimes you can sit and watch, we all know what we are watching. There’s nothing to be said that could improve the experience. Thanks for not stopping it every 5 seconds
I love Kasey Chambers. This is quite different for her as well. Some of my favorite of her songs are Wheelbarrow, Rattlin' Bones, and I Still Pray. The guitarist/back up singer in the green light is her dad, Bill Chambers, who is a bit of a legend in his own right. Apparently on this night, they'd been recording audio but not video. When they realized what magic they'd created, they reached out to the audience and asked for any footage they'd filmed. This video is cut together from the audience's contributions.
Oh yes Tim! So thrilled to see this one pop up. Kasey absolutely blew my mind on this one! Blessed to have seen it live. One of the best arrangements/rebirths of an iconic song ever written & performed imho. Thank you for your wonderful reaction 👏👏Big Loves from Down Under 🥰
Thank you for listening to us request this! Man when I saw it come up I clicked so fast! Great reaction Tim. I just knew it would be a creative cover you’d love. Really thorough breakdown. Gor me her tentative hopeful voice gives way to desperation then anger and determination ALL heard in her voice and her arrangement.
After about 4 times of watching this you notice how much fun the keyboard player is having. Fun fact, that’s Kasey’s dad on the lap steel. This was recorded in a seated theatre, no room to get up, also the audience were apparently advised the audio was being recorded. The next day Kasey sent out a message on social media for people to send her their videos from their phones. There is no evidence that Eminem has heard this and as he no longer owns the song he can’t give her permission to put it Spotify etc.
Kasey is Australian Country Royalty and has been singing since she was a kid and started singing in her Dads band. Her dad plays the slide guitar in this song
Hey Tim, I’ve been following and listening to Kasey for about 25 years and have always held the opinion that she is a great singer but I’m not an expert and have had to bite my tongue beyond a personal opinion so it’s great to hear your analysis and your acknowledgment of her ability. Of all of the comments I have read from about fifty reviews of this performance, I have only read one that questioned the quality of Kasey’s vocals, and boy did I have to restrain myself from responding. Thanks again mate.
Excellent reaction. I love this cover. I'm not really into Rap, so I hadn't really taken much notice of this song. This rendition showed me how amazing Eminem's lyrics really were. I love the slow build-up & the tome of the first guitar & their harmonies. Then the band comes in ...wow. Agree with John Farnham & Jimmy Barnes recommendations. ❤
I ❤ Kasey Chambers! Have since I heard her songs Pony and Beautiful Mess in the early 2000s (?) from my Aussie cousins. Love that you’ve reacted to her and more people have been introduced to this amazing artist.
😂😂 Tim. Brother wow. That is the face of a musician loving music.9:01. How to stop it and write this comment. Love your reactions Brother. Big love from Perth W.A.’s biggest renegade.
@@TimWelchVocalStudio that is a great little statement, Tim. ‘Great to connect’. Slowly but surely the right people will save this world. Big love from Perth Western Australia Australia.
I have been loving your reactions. Validates my taste in music when you react to these performances that gave me chills the first time I saw them. One of the best covers I’ve ever heard. Can you imagine what it takes to tackle an iconic song like this? 🔥🔥🔥
Kasey Chambers is an accomplished Australian country singer-songwriter, who has won multiple awards and accolades for her work; starting at the age of 10 with her family group Dead Ringer Band(father Bill, mother Diane and brother Nash), starting a solo career in 1998. Kasey has released 12 studio albums and multiple hit singles. Kasey is a huge Eminem fan. During the lockdown for Covid, Kasey reworked Eminem's rap song into her own song; such is the difference between the original and her version, that she was given permission to upload this performance to Spotify in it's own right. Kasey's father Bill help with the arrangement of this song, he is the gentleman to the left of the stage playing the slide guitar. I would recommend you react to some of Kasey's own songs, like Not Pretty Enough or Ain't No Little Girl; there are many many more incredible songs. Pure Australian talent.
I'm not a big fan of country/folk, (Pretty Enough), but Ain't No Little Girl is bluesy and punchy and I like it. Seems to me that after her divorce, Kasey is going in a new direction? I'm all for it.
Thank you for show casing the brilliance of our Kasey Chambers. Proud Aussie here, that has followed Kaesy from day dot. She is a Aussie Icon. When I first heard this song, I liked it, but wasn't familiar with the original...Sorry, not a rap fan, but going back and listening to the original song...Made me love this version even more...I played it on loop for weeks and weeks...and every time since, it gave me chills. She nailed the words, even better than Eminem did. IMO She dismantled the song, and made it her own, in true Kasey style❤
So glad you got round to doing this one. I knew your analysis would be interesting. Another amazing Aussie artist you should check out who has a lot of texture and colour in his voice is Matt Corby. He is breathtaking to see live! And just a note on the audience, they were asked to hold the noise as they were trying to get a decent recording.
Casey is our Aussie heroine..She threw Country at us in the middle of grunge and bubblegum..with guts.! See more Oz at John Farnham: 'you're the Voice', Missy Higgins: 'Everyone's waiting '
One of my all time favourite songs sung by Eminem....and then there is this favourite song of mine sung by Kasey and i feel like its two songs. They are so different. I dont have a favourite. However, I do have to acknowledge how AMAZING it is that Kasey can pay such an extraordinary compliment to Eminem with her interpretation of his classic lyrics. And live!! It was a pleasure to listen to and watch your reactions. Thank you. Now go discover John Farnham...
They are sitting because it was during Covid. When live music started up again (pre vaccine) in Australia it happened with conditions; no standing and no dancing. Please, please, please do 'Help' John Farnham live with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Great reaction by the way. Kasey is a gem. Her 'Ain't No Little Girl' is a good one to get a sense of her original music.
This is seriously the best cover ever. She also has the best set of lungs 🫁 ever. I love watching react to this. She never fails to blow peoples mind. Also do you notice how quiet the audience is? This is live. I really wonder what they were thinking Try something from VoicePlay next
to me apart from the obvious of this being an absolute incredible cover. potentially one of the best covers ever. To me to shows the absolute genius of eminems lyrics. there is simply no way this song hits as hard without the deep lyrics taking you on the journey.
This performance was done in a small local theatre, that only has fixed seating capacity for 1,450; because of the fixed seating, there is little room to get up and move around freely. This was a more intimate concert scenario.
So glad you found this Tim, great reaction, always instructive and so appreciative of the artists. Kasey Chambers is an Australian artist. I lost control of my bottom jaw the first time I stumbled upon this performance argh 🤩which joins a modest list of concerts that I didn't go to 😪 Haha yes I can't believe the audience was still sitting
Great reaction to great cover. Luv the explanation of vocal techniques. Please do the John Farnham 'Help' cover live in Melbourne. Theres a vocalist for you.
Woke up to this absolute gem - made my day! I love, love, love that you play it through first instead of butchering it so that the transitions and flow are lost. I see someone else has suggested Aussie treasure John Farnham with his cover of Help - in particular, the live concert video with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/dv54giOSRKs/v-deo.htmlsi=CO_y9IXMoPnUaSAv
One of the 3 best covers i have ever heard (in alphabetical order by singers surname) J. Cash: Hurt [9 inch nails] K. Chambers: Lose Yourself [Eminem] J. Farnham: Help [the Beatles] And of course there's the best cover I've never heard: Marcel Marceau: Sounds of Silence [Simon & Garfunkel]
Kasey Chambers is a legend in the Aussie Country music scene. And she is amazingly talented, as are the rest of her family. My favourite song of hers will always be "The Captain". But man, did she absolutely rocke this song! I love the original, but I REALLY love this cover!! 🤘🏼🖤🇭🇲
HI Tim liked and subbed....loved your reaction to our Aussie chick Kasey Chambers...who I think did Eminem's song true justice. She has another I'd love to see you react to called 'Ain't No Little Girl' i love the official video...but there are lots out there. I'm heading over to your channel now to see what I've missed. Saying hi from Australia. 🦘🦘🦘
This is one of the best covers I’ve heard. Her versatility and ability to connect just shine on this. If you haven’t heard of her, I would definitely recommend checking out an artist called LP. She’s written for several mainstream artists but also performs her own work. Her live performance of her song “Lost On You” is stunning and would give you a ton to break down vocally. She also has an amazing cover of Beyoncé’s “Halo.”
If you want to see one of the best unique covers and male vocalists in the world check out John Farnham’s cover of the Beatles Help with the Melbourne symphony orchestra. Mind blowing
Good reaction to a great song. Kasey's been solo since the late 90's and has just released her 13th album. Her normal wheelhouse is country/blues, but does not fear stepping out of it. As with most Australian artists, live performances will be better. BTW, it's her dad on the slide guitar.
Hi Tim, I am one of the many that requested you react to this song. As a fellow lover of a great creative cover I was really keen to see you react to this one. I was sure that you would at the very least appreciate it but I was quietly confident that you would love it 😊 I’m so glad that you did love it! Personally I feel that this is The master class in how to do cover. I once heard *Marcia Hines AM, when she was one of the judges on Australian Idol say, “anyone can do a karaoke song so if you’re coming to me and you’re going to do a cover you better have made it your own and you better sing it like you wrote it” and that is exactly what Kasey did with this one!! 🎉🎉 *Marcia Hines AM, American born Aussie artist has sold 2.6 million albums, first Aus female artist to have a platinum-selling album, first female to have 7 consecutive top 20 album releases.
Ps big Kudos to whoever it was that made this film clip for Kasey from the footage from fans phones. I didn’t realise that was the case the very first time I saw this I just thought they were going for a somewhat art house type film clip 😂
Kasey Chambers "up and coming" artist - *laughs in Australian*. 💌 She's been part of the Australian music scene for well over 30 years. Her family is part of Australian country music royalty. 😃 Loved watching your joyous reaction to this one
@@dasherl8466 personally I’d also always add in the Great Tim Minchin. People may think of him for his wonderfully written comedic, satirical and thought provoking songs (Along with Matilda ofc). But man, has he got some serious vocal chops to add to add to his insane talent on the piano! Dark Side (the Awesome version) and Heaven on Their Minds - for the Tim Rice tribute are great examples. He was an inspired choice as Judas and gave me goosebumps live - it’s just a shame that the producers autotued the dvd & album to death as none of the cast needed it, but definitely not Tim at all.
Also, this music video is entirely made from people in the audience who filmed it. This wasn’t recorded. The people who cut all of these different peoples videos recordings are magical.

@@Nimways_sword So we politely encourage folk to go support the original. Stop being part of the problem.
You never thought you would hear a legendary Aussie country singer playing a banjo turn the greatest rap song ever into a rock anthem!
Renegade in the house.
Absolutely love our Kasey.
It’s funny how people don’t realise amazing she actually is as a country singer.
She has covered this song so well because she has lived this song as well.

she left it all on stage

Great emotions and world renowned brilliance with his vocal abilities and breakdowns. Have a good one you and everyone! .
lol, coming!
Same 😊
…and I love how you let the music roll on through and then - second time around you give a really wonderful analysis.👌👏👏
Who would have thought an unknown country girl from Australia could cover and completely transform the biggest and award winning song into something unbelievable!!!! ❤❤❤
She's a very established and respected artist in Australia. I was lucky enough to see her live last year, such a great live performer
Oh, she's not unknown. She's nationally known and has had a successful career spanning at twenty years.
Hey guys, very tired when I wrote this so left out key words being unknown overseas.SORRY!!
So happy this Aussie legend crossed your path ❤
So good! 💛✨🙏🏼
Loved your Reaction!,
❤
Thank you!! 😁
Apparently this venue was seating space only , so not much room for people to get moshing ! The crowd loved it just couldn't physically show it . Great reaction , we are really proud of our Kasey 👍🇦🇺
yeah, is was at the Civic Theatre in Newcastle, NSW Australia
Tiered seating means you can't get up and move around for safety reasons during the performance.
You're correct that there is no defining rhythm in the beginning. I'll never forget the first time I heard it. I was completely lost but intrigued at the same time. Then she put down a hint of a rhythm and it just built and built from there. I was all alone but was laughing and clapping at how cathartic and exciting it felt. It was wonderful to see you experience the exact same thing. Cheers for the interesting breakdown! Lastly I'd love you to go down the JOHN FARNHAM rabbit hole if you haven't already. The Beatles cover of HELP with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is mind-blowing. I'd love to hear a professional break that performance down.
John’s on the list!
This was amazing! I absolutely adore it when artists surprise me with something unexpected.
Thank you, Tim, for introducing me to this wonderful artist! I always learn so much from your analysis and breakdowns. 💖🙋♀️
My pleasure, Barbara! It was actually subscribers who recommended I check this out, many times. I’m so grateful to have so much interaction and correspondence with you all. ✨🙏🏼
@@TimWelchVocalStudio 💖
If you want to check out an absolutely amazing cover!! Check out COLD CHISEL DOING WILD THING COVER!!
Goosebumps galore! ❤🔥
Kasey is legendary in australia and in Nashville. That first band come in is her son, the steel guitar player is her father. She’s currently 48 yo and has 45 years experience in singing lol
Oh Tim!! So happy you did this one!! Isn’t it incredible? Casey Chambers is an incredible singer. You should check out her song Ain’t no little girl: her vocals are incredible. Great reaction as usual, I love how excited you got when she started to rock. ❤
So good, thank you. 💛✨🙏🏼
Sometimes you can sit and watch, we all know what we are watching. There’s nothing to be said that could improve the experience. Thanks for not stopping it every 5 seconds
I love Kasey Chambers. This is quite different for her as well. Some of my favorite of her songs are Wheelbarrow, Rattlin' Bones, and I Still Pray.
The guitarist/back up singer in the green light is her dad, Bill Chambers, who is a bit of a legend in his own right.
Apparently on this night, they'd been recording audio but not video. When they realized what magic they'd created, they reached out to the audience and asked for any footage they'd filmed. This video is cut together from the audience's contributions.
I didn't know that!! That is so cool. They definitely created magic here
I wasn't sure, but with that hat, it had to be Bill. I have been following his channel for years. I think he posts a video to it once every 36 months.
Bill on the lap steel guitar.
What a fantastic surprise to see this pop up this morning. I couldn't press play fast enough lol
Thanks!
Oh yes Tim! So thrilled to see this one pop up. Kasey absolutely blew my mind on this one! Blessed to have seen it live. One of the best arrangements/rebirths of an iconic song ever written & performed imho. Thank you for your wonderful reaction 👏👏Big Loves from Down Under 🥰
So glad to react to this one thank you!
@@TimWelchVocalStudio I thoroughly enjoyed your thoughts & reaction xxx
This is one of my favourite performances to see people to react to, going to sit back and enjoy this 🙂🙂
As a totally different perspective of a cover song this is up there with Hurt (Johnny cash) Help (John Farnham)
Great cover - it is focused on the desperation more than the anger (at least until the last verse).
Never get sick of hearing and watching this. Goosebumps EVERY TIME.
Great reaction to a brilliant performance.🙏🏽👌👏👏
Thank you for listening to us request this! Man when I saw it come up I clicked so fast! Great reaction Tim. I just knew it would be a creative cover you’d love. Really thorough breakdown. Gor me her tentative hopeful voice gives way to desperation then anger and determination ALL heard in her voice and her arrangement.
So good, thank you!
After about 4 times of watching this you notice how much fun the keyboard player is having.
Fun fact, that’s Kasey’s dad on the lap steel.
This was recorded in a seated theatre, no room to get up, also the audience were apparently advised the audio was being recorded. The next day Kasey sent out a message on social media for people to send her their videos from their phones.
There is no evidence that Eminem has heard this and as he no longer owns the song he can’t give her permission to put it Spotify etc.
So cool!
Kasey is Australian Country Royalty and has been singing since she was a kid and started singing in her Dads band. Her dad plays the slide guitar in this song
tim i knew you'd love that cover. watching you get so excited was a joy.
Such a great performance!
Hey Tim, I’ve been following and listening to Kasey for about 25 years and have always held the opinion that she is a great singer but I’m not an expert and have had to bite my tongue beyond a personal opinion so it’s great to hear your analysis and your acknowledgment of her ability.
Of all of the comments I have read from about fifty reviews of this performance, I have only read one that questioned the quality of Kasey’s vocals, and boy did I have to restrain myself from responding. Thanks again mate.
🙌🏼🔥
Excellent reaction. I love this cover. I'm not really into Rap, so I hadn't really taken much notice of this song. This rendition showed me how amazing Eminem's lyrics really were. I love the slow build-up & the tome of the first guitar & their harmonies. Then the band comes in ...wow. Agree with John Farnham & Jimmy Barnes recommendations. ❤
Unfuckingbelievable
I ❤ Kasey Chambers! Have since I heard her songs Pony and Beautiful Mess in the early 2000s (?) from my Aussie cousins. Love that you’ve reacted to her and more people have been introduced to this amazing artist.
So glad I got to!
Wow, that was amazing! I have no words... just wonderful. In a lot of the slower parts she reminds me of Jewel.
😂😂 Tim. Brother wow. That is the face of a musician loving music.9:01. How to stop it and write this comment. Love your reactions Brother. Big love from Perth W.A.’s biggest renegade.
I was waiting for that face and he did not disappoint 😂
🙌🏼✨🔥 great to connect! 🤝
@@TimWelchVocalStudio that is a great little statement, Tim.
‘Great to connect’.
Slowly but surely the right people will save this world. Big love from Perth Western Australia Australia.
Toward the end.. you said exactly what I was thinking.. ‘a banjo/Eminem’?? Great breakdown, thanks for sharing!
I have been loving your reactions. Validates my taste in music when you react to these performances that gave me chills the first time I saw them. One of the best covers I’ve ever heard. Can you imagine what it takes to tackle an iconic song like this? 🔥🔥🔥
So amazing.
Kasey Chambers is an accomplished Australian country singer-songwriter, who has won multiple awards and accolades for her work; starting at the age of 10 with her family group Dead Ringer Band(father Bill, mother Diane and brother Nash), starting a solo career in 1998. Kasey has released 12 studio albums and multiple hit singles. Kasey is a huge Eminem fan. During the lockdown for Covid, Kasey reworked Eminem's rap song into her own song; such is the difference between the original and her version, that she was given permission to upload this performance to Spotify in it's own right. Kasey's father Bill help with the arrangement of this song, he is the gentleman to the left of the stage playing the slide guitar. I would recommend you react to some of Kasey's own songs, like Not Pretty Enough or Ain't No Little Girl; there are many many more incredible songs. Pure Australian talent.
I'm not a big fan of country/folk, (Pretty Enough), but Ain't No Little Girl is bluesy and punchy and I like it. Seems to me that after her divorce, Kasey is going in a new direction? I'm all for it.
the spotify tale is an urban myth unfortunately, Eminem doesn't own the rights to the song, Kasey paid for the license to perform this
Thank you for show casing the brilliance of our Kasey Chambers. Proud Aussie here, that has followed Kaesy from day dot. She is a Aussie Icon. When I first heard this song, I liked it, but wasn't familiar with the original...Sorry, not a rap fan, but going back and listening to the original song...Made me love this version even more...I played it on loop for weeks and weeks...and every time since, it gave me chills. She nailed the words, even better than Eminem did. IMO She dismantled the song, and made it her own, in true Kasey style❤
So glad you got round to doing this one. I knew your analysis would be interesting. Another amazing Aussie artist you should check out who has a lot of texture and colour in his voice is Matt Corby. He is breathtaking to see live! And just a note on the audience, they were asked to hold the noise as they were trying to get a decent recording.
Casey is our Aussie heroine..She threw Country at us in the middle of grunge and bubblegum..with guts.!
See more Oz at John Farnham: 'you're the Voice', Missy Higgins: 'Everyone's waiting '
One of my all time favourite songs sung by Eminem....and then there is this favourite song of mine sung by Kasey and i feel like its two songs. They are so different. I dont have a favourite. However, I do have to acknowledge how AMAZING it is that Kasey can pay such an extraordinary compliment to Eminem with her interpretation of his classic lyrics. And live!! It was a pleasure to listen to and watch your reactions. Thank you. Now go discover John Farnham...
They are sitting because it was during Covid. When live music started up again (pre vaccine) in Australia it happened with conditions; no standing and no dancing. Please, please, please do 'Help' John Farnham live with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Great reaction by the way. Kasey is a gem. Her 'Ain't No Little Girl' is a good one to get a sense of her original music.
This reaction made my day. Love this song
Enjoyed your detailed analysis! Kasey is an amazing artist!
Thank you!
I had Kasey’s album in the early 2000’s yey getting the credit she deserves 🎉 3:49 wow!
The lyrics hit so much harder like this!
I agree, she was really feeling every word she sang
Yes!
Wow! The soul makes all the difference.
This is seriously the best cover ever. She also has the best set of lungs 🫁 ever. I love watching react to this. She never fails to blow peoples mind. Also do you notice how quiet the audience is? This is live. I really wonder what they were thinking
Try something from VoicePlay next
to me apart from the obvious of this being an absolute incredible cover. potentially one of the best covers ever. To me to shows the absolute genius of eminems lyrics. there is simply no way this song hits as hard without the deep lyrics taking you on the journey.
Great point!
Really enjoyed your reaction, I’ve been loving this song since just after the release of it
Kasey is an amazing singer
This performance was done in a small local theatre, that only has fixed seating capacity for 1,450; because of the fixed seating, there is little room to get up and move around freely. This was a more intimate concert scenario.
So glad you found this Tim, great reaction, always instructive and so appreciative of the artists. Kasey Chambers is an Australian artist. I lost control of my bottom jaw the first time I stumbled upon this performance argh 🤩which joins a modest list of concerts that I didn't go to 😪
Haha yes I can't believe the audience was still sitting
I love songs like this, when you don't know its a cover until you a sudden OMG moment.
Very happy to come across your video! Incredible cover and excellent breakdown of the performance!
Great reaction to great cover. Luv the explanation of vocal techniques. Please do the John Farnham 'Help' cover live in Melbourne. Theres a vocalist for you.
Woke up to this absolute gem - made my day! I love, love, love that you play it through first instead of butchering it so that the transitions and flow are lost.
I see someone else has suggested Aussie treasure John Farnham with his cover of Help - in particular, the live concert video with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Here's the link:
ua-cam.com/video/dv54giOSRKs/v-deo.htmlsi=CO_y9IXMoPnUaSAv
One of the 3 best covers i have ever heard (in alphabetical order by singers surname)
J. Cash: Hurt [9 inch nails]
K. Chambers: Lose Yourself [Eminem]
J. Farnham: Help [the Beatles]
And of course there's the best cover I've never heard:
Marcel Marceau: Sounds of Silence [Simon & Garfunkel]
Saw what you did there 😆😆😅
I agree Hurt is the best cover ever.
Yes Kasey, you were playing in the beginning.
Kasey Chambers is a legend in the Aussie Country music scene. And she is amazingly talented, as are the rest of her family. My favourite song of hers will always be "The Captain". But man, did she absolutely rocke this song! I love the original, but I REALLY love this cover!! 🤘🏼🖤🇭🇲
HI Tim liked and subbed....loved your reaction to our Aussie chick Kasey Chambers...who I think did Eminem's song true justice. She has another I'd love to see you react to called 'Ain't No Little Girl' i love the official video...but there are lots out there. I'm heading over to your channel now to see what I've missed. Saying hi from Australia. 🦘🦘🦘
Thanks for the recommendation and the sub! 🙌🏼✨
This is one of the best covers I’ve heard. Her versatility and ability to connect just shine on this.
If you haven’t heard of her, I would definitely recommend checking out an artist called LP. She’s written for several mainstream artists but also performs her own work. Her live performance of her song “Lost On You” is stunning and would give you a ton to break down vocally. She also has an amazing cover of Beyoncé’s “Halo.”
Omg full body goose bumps, thank you for bring this cover to my attention.
If you want to see one of the best unique covers and male vocalists in the world check out John Farnham’s cover of the Beatles Help with the Melbourne symphony orchestra. Mind blowing
Good reaction to a great song. Kasey's been solo since the late 90's and has just released her 13th album. Her normal wheelhouse is country/blues, but does not fear stepping out of it. As with most Australian artists, live performances will be better. BTW, it's her dad on the slide guitar.
Awesome!
John Farnham and jimmy barns with when some is wrong with my baby another great cover
Hi Tim, I am one of the many that requested you react to this song.
As a fellow lover of a great creative cover I was really keen to see you react to this one. I was sure that you would at the very least appreciate it but I was quietly confident that you would love it 😊 I’m so glad that you did love it!
Personally I feel that this is The master class in how to do cover. I once heard *Marcia Hines AM, when she was one of the judges on Australian Idol say, “anyone can do a karaoke song so if you’re coming to me and you’re going to do a cover you better have made it your own and you better sing it like you wrote it” and that is exactly what Kasey did with this one!! 🎉🎉
*Marcia Hines AM, American born Aussie artist has sold 2.6 million albums, first Aus female artist to have a platinum-selling album, first female to have 7 consecutive top 20 album releases.
Ps big Kudos to whoever it was that made this film clip for Kasey from the footage from fans phones. I didn’t realise that was the case the very first time I saw this I just thought they were going for a somewhat art house type film clip 😂
Thank you for recommending it and yes, I do believe this is a master class and how to do a creative cover.
@@TimWelchVocalStudio you are most welcome 🤗
Kasey Chambers "up and coming" artist - *laughs in Australian*. 💌 She's been part of the Australian music scene for well over 30 years. Her family is part of Australian country music royalty. 😃 Loved watching your joyous reaction to this one
I didn’t say she was up and coming. I said, my channel is about supporting up and coming artists. I react to everyone to grow the channel.
Get ready for an Aussie onslaught.
Try anything live from John Farnham, especially beatles cover Help live with Melbourne Symphony orchestra
@@dasherl8466 personally I’d also always add in the Great Tim Minchin. People may think of him for his wonderfully written comedic, satirical and thought provoking songs (Along with Matilda ofc). But man, has he got some serious vocal chops to add to add to his insane talent on the piano! Dark Side (the Awesome version) and Heaven on Their Minds - for the Tim Rice tribute are great examples.
He was an inspired choice as Judas and gave me goosebumps live - it’s just a shame that the producers autotued the dvd & album to death as none of the cast needed it, but definitely not Tim at all.
I honestly didn’t connect with this song until I heard her interpretation. It’s a devastating song when you can understand all the lyrics
She definitely has made it sound devastating, you can actually hear her pain while she’s singing it.
Same here
Also, this music video is entirely made from people in the audience who filmed it. This wasn’t recorded. The people who cut all of these different peoples videos recordings are magical.
Love it! Beautifull cover! ❤
I would suggest her tune "Nullarbor Song". A beautiful ode to her upbringing in the Austrailian desert
Omg! This is wild❤
NOTHING BUT LOVE ! 🔥
💛✨🙏🏼
Very cool reaction... watch the whole thing then watch again with the pausing and breaking down... really great.
I wanna see a banjo player react to this song.
Yes!
