As an Aussie, I know of Kasey Chambers and a couple of her songs, but her music isn't something I would normally listen to. Much like Eminem, I haven't listened to any of his current music but several of his songs from the loose yourself era, however, after months of seeing this showing up on my UA-cam recommendations I gave in and watched it. Talk about being blown away, I now have watched every reaction I can find and have watched the clip personally many many times, it absolutely awesome. Also from what I've read on other reaction videos Eminem has seen it and she was able to release it on Spotify with no copyright issues, so I would assume that he appreciated the cover, cheers
There's no actual evidence Eminem has seen it & as he doesn't hold the copyright to the song - he has no say. The Bass Brothers through their Eight Mile Style publishing company hold the rights & the reality is - anyone can upload a cover to Spotify - for platforms outside of the United States, Mexico, Canada, Pakistan, and India - Spotify comes with an automatic "compulsory" license - a set amount of Royalties for each download of the song. For platforms inside those regions - a "Mechanical" license is required - this sets a specific number of downloads (starting at 200) before the License must be renewed - NEITHER requires permission from the copyright holder.
@stanroach2842 fair enough, as I said it's what others have commented on other reactions and it was something that I hadn't seen on this post, so all good, cheers
@@stanroach2842 unlike others, the person whose comment you're replying to didn't state that Eminem seeing this is a proven fact - he even said that he's only passing on what he's read and isn't sure. As much as your reply is probably factually correct, it felt a little like you were telling people off for spreading a joyful rumour. Whether Eminem personally approved it or not detracts from the fact that Kasey nailed this performance and deserves to monetise it - she honoured the song beautifully.
I had a similar experience to you. I worked in music retail when "Am I Not Pretty Enough" was released in Australia. I appreciated the sentiment of the song but was in my grunge/alternative era at the time so dismissed Kasey a little. I only discovered this cover on another reactor's channel and I literally whooped out loud in surprise. I was totally awestruck by the arrangement and the different mood of the song compared to Eminems. I'm glad she's getting praise for it :)
Kasey is a huge Eminem fan, l think she felt his pain and need for acceptance(both personally and professionally); the emotion Kasey put into this performance came from mainstream Australian radio stations desire to pigeon hole her, but she refused to be defined as just a country singer-songwriter. Kasey's own songs reflect how other genres influence her music style. Kasey took the opportunity during the lockdown for Covid, to rework Eminem's rap song into her own; while Eminem's rap approach is more reactive, Kasey's was more emotive. Such was the difference between the original and her version, that Kasey was given permission to upload this performance to Spotify in it's own right; that shows the calibre of her musicality, she's an Australian gem.
Kasey is from Australia. In 2018, she became the youngest member to be inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame and she has received numerous platinum records in Australia I like that she kept the integrity of the lyrics, added a lot of emotion, and made the song completely her own. I was blown away when I heard this version. It's brilliant what she did here. BTW, her dad was playing the steel guitar. If you want to hear more from her, I recommend "Bittersweet" (a duet with the Australian singer Bernard Fannigan) and "Ain't No Little Girl".
It was incredible! It changed my perspective of this song forever! Love the sound of the lap steel guitar (thank you to everyone who helped me) Definitely would love to hear some more from her she is incredible!
Em has seen this and loves it. So much so that he has given it his approval for social media and you will never have trouble with copyright blocking. Because he won't allow blocking. 😊❤
Yes, Farnham with Help! And Joe Cocker with A Little Help From My Friends. There’s never been anything wrong with covers especially of the Beatles and Dylan
Best reaction I've watched with this video. You mentioned many good points about the Eminem cover. Kasey performed this song again about 10 months ago here in Australia without her father who plays the slide guitar.I agree with you that his input gave the song added impact and emotion in the Newcastle performance. Thanks again, subscribed.
I watched her play it a week ago at the Sydney Opera House with her full band including her dad. Or as she put it ‘this old guy who keeps turning up at my concerts’. Lots of love in that family.
Another great Aussie cover is John Farnham singing Help with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (MSO). Even John Lennon commented that this was the way the Beatles should’ve done it. He was never happy with their upbeat version. Do yourself a favour and check it out. Great reaction to Kasey.❤
All the videos used were from the one performance. It’s her dad Bill Chambers playing the steel guitar. He just got awarded the ARIA Lifetime Achievement Award for service to country music. (Australian Recording Industry Awards) Kasey got awarded a similar award for Australian Women Artists by ARIA last month. I have been a welded on fan of Kasey’s since she was a teenager fronting her family band The Dead Ringers. She puts her heart and soul into every single thing she does. For something completely different please react to Ren ‘Hi Ren’ if you haven’t already. These songs, Kasey’s ‘Lose Yourself’ and ‘Hi Ren’ are the two most significant recordings of the current decade for me.
Casey Chambers country music is normally not part of my otherwise pretty wide musical taste nor is rap but this is excellent and really reminds me of Neil Young and Crazy Horse at their peak.
I do enjoy the not stopping the video every 30 seconds vibe. But it would be cool if you commented during the video. Obviously don't just ramble on over the top of it, but you could make comments and give your opinion as it goes along. I think people would be ok with that.
No, that's a lap steel. Slide guitar is played standing up, in the position of playing a normal guitar, but with the slidey part added. Then there's peddle steel as well, but I don't think you know enough about instruments to know that one.
You appreciate a good, (great), cover and I know you have reacted to John Farnham in the past, so here are 3 covers from him that you WILL love, (and might make a nice little series for you to post). They are all performed live in 1989 with the Melbourne Symphony orchestra on John's "Whispering Jack" tour, although there is no video for the first song as it was only a "warm up" before filming started. Enjoy. Black Dog, Led Zepplin cover: ua-cam.com/video/F2Yi6TVi-sU/v-deo.html Help, Beatles cover: ua-cam.com/video/dv54giOSRKs/v-deo.html and It's a Long Way to the Top, ACDC cover: ua-cam.com/video/73X_z_zW4Sg/v-deo.html
Also You're The Voice. I love watching to see if they catch the mic toss in the air, catch, then toss to the side, followed by the kick up a bit later.
Thanks for not interrupting the song.😊

Kasey spent her lock down writing the music and the arrangement for this. Well worth the time.🎉❤
WOW. She left it all on the stage. Best cover ever.
I enjoy watching reactors being rendered speechless by Kasey's interpretation of Lose Yourself. Thank you for your wonderful comments.

Thanks EE! I second the follow up "Ain't no little girl", especially the Bluegrass Underground live version
I third it and suggest Not pretty enough as a follow up to the follow up! ❤Much love from Australia Kasey’s home ❤😂
Fantastic reaction, Kasey has lived every word.
Her song Ain't No Little Girl is brilliant.
Beatles "Help" by John Farnham
Try John Farnham live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra,doing HELP,by the Beatles.👍👍👍
I Agree.
Yes, Farnham with Help! And Joe Cocker with A Little Help From My Friends. There’s never been anything wrong with covers especially of the Beatles and Dylan
Head rocking a banjo....that is all!!! Xx

I have already subscribed to Kasey's channel. She is brilliant.

I think the graininess of the phone video makes the whole thing even more impactful. I hope she tours here in the states soon.

Wow first time I saw anybody shred a banjo 🤘🤘🤘🤘❤️😎🇺🇸
Best way to react, bro. Listen, then give comments. The continual stopping that others do is infuriating. Well done.
All the videos used were from the one performance. It’s her dad Bill Chambers playing the steel guitar. He just got awarded the ARIA Lifetime Achievement Award for service to country music. (Australian Recording Industry Awards) Kasey got awarded a similar award for Australian Women Artists by ARIA last month.

Em does a fairly good job of covering Kasey's song!
Great reaction….its a pretty special cover..
One happy little Vegemite, love ya Kasey. 🦘
Beautiful
You almost had it in your description. Lap steel guitar. He is running a slide along the fret board. Cheers, thanks.
Casey Chambers country music is normally not part of my otherwise pretty wide musical taste nor is rap but this is excellent and really reminds me of Neil Young and Crazy Horse at their peak.
❤
Try another Aussie cover.....the zoot doing Eleanor rigby it will blow you away
This was her homage to Eminem, who liked it and it's also personal to her
wasn't really an homage to Marshall. But yes, she absolutely lived this as she tried so hard to get her music out there and to make a living from it.
I would love to hear a studio audio version of this where it's more clean and polished and she can slow down on her breathing on the third verse.
If you like bands crossing genres, try Post Modern Jukebox. They cover a lot of artist. My favorites are Creep and Dream On. Check them out.
Check out TOOL doing a cover of Led Zeppelin No Quarter 👌
Kasey doesn't do covers. The only reason she did this is because the lyrics echoed her own life and career so much. 😮
I do enjoy the not stopping the video every 30 seconds vibe. But it would be cool if you commented during the video. Obviously don't just ramble on over the top of it, but you could make comments and give your opinion as it goes along. I think people would be ok with that.
@@candydandy2694 na, more like your shoulder tattoos. That must’ve been a painful day in Bali
Just wow, hey?
Do you mean slide guitar? That was Kasey’s dad playing it.
No, that's a lap steel. Slide guitar is played standing up, in the position of playing a normal guitar, but with the slidey part added. Then there's peddle steel as well, but I don't think you know enough about instruments to know that one.
@ oh no poor me I don’t know my instruments thank you for the education Mozart.
