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.
Whomever owns the right gave her permission to release & monetise on Spotify - this would not have happened in a million years unless they were as blown away as we all are. Best cover ever imho & a fab reaction from Uncle Ray 😊
@@JoRiceRenegade4Eva Eight Mile Style is not owned or controlled by Eminem, the hip-hop artist's spokesperson Dennis Dennehy told Law&Crime. It's a production company owned by Joel Martin and The Bass Brothers that controls the publishing rights to his early catalog.
From a little girl from Mt Gambier to making history with one of the most amazing covers ever done. Now known and respected all around the world. Well done Kasey, well done.👏👏👏👏👏
She’s so amazing! I’m from MtG as well!! Which I’ve mentioned on 3 other reaction videos, so I’m just looking like a weirdo now. It’s not a big town, so proud that such a talent came out of it!
I can only imagine how Eminem felt after hearing this cover! Lose Yourself is Em's "legacy"! The mark he left behind; his life; his journey. And now Kasey took his words and put her spin on it and put it back out there for the world to hear AGAIN. Like repotting and watering a plant and setting it outside in the sun to reflourish! She definitely did his legacy justice!
It's extremely rare to come across an artist who understands the emotions behind the lyrics of someone else's song, and is able to deliver it into an entirely different musical genre. Kudos to both Eminem and Kasey.
Has anyone ever done full justice to a song like that, wiuth conviction like that? All that anguish and vulnerability and anger and defiance is in the original - Kasey finds it and brings it out. Kudos to MM. And the band. When the band drops in (after hiding in the shadows for five minutes) they are completely with Kasey, at the same intensity.
U know that lose yourself was a song eminem made for the character b rabbit in the movie right ? So i doubt she was going to cyphers and battle rapping
This has got to be the best cover of all time. She is a Bluegrass/Country singer in Australia. She took a 20 year old rap song, tore it completely up, & made it her motherfucking own!!! I have just watched it a dozen times tonight, & each time I have got goosebumps & tears flowing. The anguish in this performance is on another level! Her early career mirrored Eminem's which is why she chose this song. Her song, Am I Not Pretty Enough was her big fuck you to the radio stations who would not play her songs. Ironically, it became her first hit, played on every radio station in the country. Youngest woman to be inducted into the Australian Recording Industry Association Hall of Fame. Now you understand why she feels this song?
Youngest female solo artist into the Aria hall of fame - there is the Australian Country Music Hall of Fame however it's not part of Aria & Kasey isn't in it.
I am so glad you watched this. Loved how u felt every word almost in a new light. And i cant believe the world almost did not get to see this if it wasnt for her fans home recordings and eminem approving this. INSANE
I've watched every reaction I've found in the last 12 months and there seems to be 2 main types of reaction: 1) She was losing me in the beginning, it was a bit slow, but then the drop and it was fire from then on. 2) The HARDCORE Eminem fan. These people are hooked by the end of the first line.
Another great fact about this video. She requested that audience members send their video recordings to her. The video you watched is a collaboration of those. This is not a "music video", it's a mix from the crowd.
She crys, she pleads and she tells how she got there and how she never gave up. This is why she is a great musician and the youngest in the Aus hall of fame. She put so much into this I am surprised she didn't piss herself.
I attribute the delayed crowd reaction to how good this performance is to a) Some people might not have known the original. Chambers is mostly known as a "country" performer, b) This was filmed at an all seated theatre, a venue that you might go to see an opera or similar at
I’ve seen so many UA-camrs hold their arms up to display their goosebumps; so many in fact, that I’ve pondered how to broadcast a public service announcement to all content creators, that NOBODY CAN SEE your damn shiver-skin, so for the love of god, just cut it out, will ya?! Obviously, such ponderings must now come to an end, because those goosebumps were as visible as a mountain range😆
Kudos to Eminem for writing some of the best lyrics ever for "Lose yourself",and kudos to Kasey for arranging them,and performing this in the best way possible,come on Marshall,go public and show Kasey the respect she deserves!!
She sent out a message asking all her fans that took videos from this night to send them in. Her teams made this video from all the fans videos and what a masterpiece they made. Kasey IMHO now owns this song. Don't know this for a fact, but I've heard Eminem controls all his music so he had to sign off on this so she could release it to all streaming platforms. Again, that is just rumor as far as I know.
I am not a fan of Kasey Chambers, but this performance has blown me away, the lyrics are great of course but she added her voice, her arrangement, melody, her voice, the emotion, the build up, the energy, the band, even the video. It's among the f.....g best music I ever heard!! And that from someone I found middle of the road. I hope she has more future surprises!
Yes you have, you have just found your new FAVORITE song! This one clip is the entire package. The lyrics, Kasey's delivery, the band! and the phone footage. This is a work of art that everyone needs to experience. Do yourself a favor and watch it again, again and again like I have. you will not tire of it. G'day from Australia.
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.. we all went on a journey with this performance. I pray that Eminem gets to see it. I'd love to know his reaction too. Your reaction was something else too. So respectful as you expressed your appreciation of this cover version. ps that was her dad on slide guitar. Eminem's lyrics are so powerful and Kasey did a great tribute to his song imo. Wow!
I’m really glad to see more and more reactors being blown away by this. She puts her heart and soul into it and it deserves to blowup. Great reaction, thanks!
Supposedly - she is a huge Eminem fan and had wanted to cover this for a while but I took Quarantine to allow her time to create this arrangement. Hats of to her- killed it. Hats off to Em that writing holds up.
Thanks for doing this one! This gives me chills every single time I hear it. Kasey going from that resigned, laid back approach early in the song to the fighting emotion later is beyond powerful! 💪🏼 Kasey is very under appreciated and needs to be recognised more on an international scale! Kasey is a master of storytelling, conveying lyrics and emotion! She is an icon in the Australian music industry, mostly for country and folk, but has her own style and is never afraid to delve into something outside the box. She is just getting better as she gets older. I really hope that Eminem has seen this and appreciates that his song and lyrics were re-imagined in such a spectacular way. I guess he has as he did give her permission to upload to Spotify etc. Would really like to hear what he thought about it though. Where else would you see hand-banging with a banjo, pedal steel guitar and rock band together? Kasey started her solo commercial career around the same time as Eminem and she was a big fan of his music. From what I understand, Kasey spent lockdown playing around with some of her favourite songs and this version of Lose Yourself is the result. Brilliant! Kasey has spent her whole solo career bucking the constraints of the record companies and always gone her way. She made it to the top in Aussie music anyway with many awards, becoming the youngest ever ARIA Hall of Fame recipient. BTW….how was that for breath and vocal control? Not to mention the awesome arrangement. ❤ Also, that was Kasey’s Dad, Bill, on the steel guitar. Full kudos to Eminem for his songwriting. Personally, the reason Kasey’s version affects me so much is all down to the fact that she did lose herself in the music, the moment during this performance. She is a true blue Aussie who will leave her soul bared on stage every single time. ❤
Kasey is a country singer, from my home State of South Australia.. She grew up playing with her family band, The Chambers Band. Her Dad is playing slide in this song (with the hat, sitting down). They even lived on a bus/van the Nullabour Plain, an arid treeless semi-desert part of South Australia near the Great Australian Bight (Cliffs to the Southern Ocean), where they caught rabbits for dinner etc.. Hi and subscribed from Adleiade, South Australia (in the middle, down the bottom haha!)
Loved your reaction, thanks so much for appreciating our Kasey and her talent. It goes to show also that Eminem is a master lyricist. Sending much love from Queensland Australia 🦘💜
This is a really amazing song. I love the twist on it creativity still exists thank God. This is my currently my 3rd favorite cover i have ever heard for me the only ones that beat this are Last resort by falling in reverse Sound of silence by disturbed
Still stunned at seeing a country outfit rocking out like the Trueborn Lords of Grunge to a rap song. Great song, great cover, great reaction thanks matey. PS Shakes brought me here
Very few reactors seem to love Kasey's version as much as I do. You made the short list. I wish I could hit the Like button more than once, so I'll Sub instead.
In a million years we couldn't think a favourite song could be done better......( not mine, but I do like his early stuff). This is a masterpiece. As much as we are all doing the reaction circuit, don't forget to watch it on her channel. It deserves to go viral!
I love this reaction in every way. I too had goosebumps. It's a gift given to me by my father. He taught me about goosebumps when I was a kid. Not every artist can do that. Kasey Chambers did.... with this incredible rendition of a much loved song.
Good on you for appreciating her voice & the way she sings. The last couple of reactions…they just went on about the song itself & how it was different to Eminem 🙄😄
I'm so glad this is still getting some love after Ronnie broke UA-cam with his Drop. Hope they eventually bounce off each other and make FIR, Em, Kasey, and Papa Roach thrive for years. I grew up on Em and Papa, rediscovered Ronnie, and kasey is a talent on her own.
I'm ranking this number one alternatitve person cover of a rapper! I love boyz in the Hood cover by Dynamite hack! If you haven't reacted to that, that's a killer! And gin and juice by the gourds. Both great covers but Kasey killed this!
Bro you my favorite reactor to this video. Ima catch up with your more recent shit too. Keep it up big dawg. Listen to this cover again 🫡🫡 Appreciate you bro!!
It’s become a bit of a national sport watching people watching this 😂🇦🇺
😊👍🤣🤣🇦🇺
And we will always be world champs & gold medalist at the Olympics & Comm Games.
Totally!
yep 🇦🇺🇦🇺
I love this sport for me too 🇦🇺
Eminem sang it from anger and heartbreak. She sings it from heartbreak and anger. Love this❤❤❤
"I wanna go punch 13 dolphins in the butthole" energy is now a thing. And the world loves you for that.
WOW! She ripped it up. Bloody brilliant. Best cover ever.
She's a diamond WOW

He doesn't own the rights to the song so he didn't approve anything. People are saying this on every video and it's not true unfortunately.

I saw this last weekend Live in Tasmania - love watching foreigners react to our phenomenal Aussie music - we're so spoilt in this country 👏👏💪🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘
From a little girl from Mt Gambier to making history with one of the most amazing covers ever done. Now known and respected all around the world. Well done Kasey, well done.👏👏👏👏👏
She ain't no little girl any more.
Love that song of hers 'Ain't No Little Girl'
She’s so amazing! I’m from MtG as well!! Which I’ve mentioned on 3 other reaction videos, so I’m just looking like a weirdo now. It’s not a big town, so proud that such a talent came out of it!

Who knew addimg a lap steel and power chords on a banjo to a rap song would be so freaking amazing?!
Her father definitely made that steel lap slide cry! Amazing performance by all.
Her dad, Bill was on the lap steel. I think he helped her with the arrangement which they did in Cofe lockdowns..
I know right amazing💯
This song makes me want to shred on a lap steel 😆
It's extremely rare to come across an artist who understands the emotions behind the lyrics of someone else's song, and is able to deliver it into an entirely different musical genre. Kudos to both Eminem and Kasey.
I really hope ems watched this because she’s fucking nailed it🥳🥳🥳🔥
Best cover I've ever heard.
I can’t stop listening to it, it’s a masterpiece. 😍
Has anyone ever done full justice to a song like that, wiuth conviction like that? All that anguish and vulnerability and anger and defiance is in the original - Kasey finds it and brings it out. Kudos to MM. And the band. When the band drops in (after hiding in the shadows for five minutes) they are completely with Kasey, at the same intensity.
This has to be the best live performance of 2022 by ANYONE !
She lived it ........... thats why she did more than justice to it. Complete fire.
U know that lose yourself was a song eminem made for the character b rabbit in the movie right ? So i doubt she was going to cyphers and battle rapping

Two people in the audience knew it was Eminem in the first few lyrics. Most of the rest like me, didn’t know the original, but do now.
She destroyed it!!!
Haha, best reaction I’ve ever seen! Go Vibe!
Love to see this performed live at the Emmys.
Another great fact about this video. She requested that audience members send their video recordings to her. The video you watched is a collaboration of those. This is not a "music video", it's a mix from the crowd.

If this doesn’t give you chicken skin you need to get ya ears checked shit is fire 🔥 shout out to you for getting to this Ray
I attribute the delayed crowd reaction to how good this performance is to
a) Some people might not have known the original. Chambers is mostly known as a "country" performer,
b) This was filmed at an all seated theatre, a venue that you might go to see an opera or similar at
Astonishing in every respect.
A musical Everest ascended.
This song belongs to her now, it's hers xo
Yeah, we like it Mate.
Looks like KC has given you a new morning heart starter.
I’m still getting goosebumps n chills from it. 🇦🇺
I knew you were gonna "loose yourself" when you heard this. :) This reaction made me smile.
I’ve seen so many UA-camrs hold their arms up to display their goosebumps; so many in fact, that I’ve pondered how to broadcast a public service announcement to all content creators, that NOBODY CAN SEE your damn shiver-skin, so for the love of god, just cut it out, will ya?!

Kudos to Eminem for writing some of the best lyrics ever for "Lose yourself",and kudos to Kasey for arranging them,and performing this in the best way possible,come on Marshall,go public and show Kasey the respect she deserves!!
Awesome reaction!
Bet you never knew you needed an Aussie chick headbanging with a banjo in your life!
Graduate of the Angus Young School of Banjo Shredding 🤗
As one reactor said when the mood all changed *and now she’s unhinged?!?* …..
Thanks for loving our Kasey....she is top tier here in Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
She's top tier globally now
@@squiz808 as she should be 😂 she is awesome. Thanks for listening to her☺️
So glad this is really starting to gain momentum toward viral worldwide recognition! ❤
❤
ALRIGHT. I been waiting to see you get to this one. LETS GO!
Lose yourself is one of my favorite songs ever. WTF did she just do. That is epic
She sent out a message asking all her fans that took videos from this night to send them in. Her teams made this video from all the fans videos and what a masterpiece they made. Kasey IMHO now owns this song. Don't know this for a fact, but I've heard Eminem controls all his music so he had to sign off on this so she could release it to all streaming platforms. Again, that is just rumor as far as I know.
My fave reaction to this song - dude felt, it.
Apparently radio stations are a thing of the past. Im. 55 and Ive known this....but now I really know this!!!!❤❤
I am not a fan of Kasey Chambers, but this performance has blown me away, the lyrics are great of course but she added her voice, her arrangement, melody, her voice, the emotion, the build up, the energy, the band, even the video. It's among the f.....g best music I ever heard!! And that from someone I found middle of the road. I hope she has more future surprises!
Lettss gooo! I'm wanna run not walk...I'm cook dinner tonight with all I got
I was hoping you'd react to this... 🤘💀🤘
She can sing! ❤❤❤❤
Kasey and the band are great.
So good to see Kasey being appreciated for her talent!!
wow!! new fire song and old song nostalgia! love it
That's why we watch reation sites to see people loose their 💩 and their minds 🧠 blown
Cheers mate from Aussie's 🦘🇦🇺👍
Wow Kasey Wow 😮

This is a work of art that everyone needs to experience.
Do yourself a favor and watch it again, again and again like I have. you will not tire of it.
G'day from Australia.
She took his words and amplified the meaning with this performance … and props to the band ❤

Responding to @3:15... I predict that is exactly what she is going to do (make you cry).
Yes he's seen bcuz he gave permission to release it on all streaming sites
I’m really glad to see more and more reactors being blown away by this. She puts her heart and soul into it and it deserves to blowup. Great reaction, thanks!
100%! So glad this is really taking off on a global scale. Kasey deserves worldwide recognition. ❤

This is a really amazing song. I love the twist on it creativity still exists thank God. This is my currently my 3rd favorite cover i have ever heard for me the only ones that beat this are
Last resort by falling in reverse
Sound of silence by disturbed
Still stunned at seeing a country outfit rocking out like the Trueborn Lords of Grunge to a rap song. Great song, great cover, great reaction thanks matey. PS Shakes brought me here
My new favorite song! 🔥
"I wanna go punch 13 Dolphins in the butthole"
- Vibe Reactions, 2023
Wow. That was amazing! It really showcased every. single. word. he wrote 🔥
You know you have met true art, in whatever form, when it gives you an actual physical reaction to it. This definitely meets that criterea!
Super dope...
You reaction was mine also my friend, very impressive song from Kasey.
I hate saying its the best performance ive ever seen… because there are a few out there but this is the best performance i have ever seeeen..
Eminem approved. He allowed her to put it out on Spotify.
He doesn't own the rights so didn't allow her to do anything unfortunately. Best not just repeat stuff you see in comments without checking.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Kasey Chambers / Eminem. Form meets content.
Very few reactors seem to love Kasey's version as much as I do. You made the short list.
I wish I could hit the Like button more than once, so I'll Sub instead.
I hear this bloke called Marshall Bruce Mathers III who ever he is does a fairly good cover of this song
🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
“I gonna go punch 13 dolphins in the butthole” is the best line I’ve heard all year
Shout out to the great man shakes P, love everything about that man, not least what he does for the kids
In a million years we couldn't think a favourite song could be done better......( not mine, but I do like his early stuff). This is a masterpiece.
As much as we are all doing the reaction circuit, don't forget to watch it on her channel. It deserves to go viral!
I love this reaction in every way. I too had goosebumps. It's a gift given to me by my father. He taught me about goosebumps when I was a kid. Not every artist can do that. Kasey Chambers did.... with this incredible rendition of a much loved song.
Beautiful reaction ❤
Her performance makes me think of Janis Joplin. Kasey captures that kind of power at the end.
Great reaction and thank you I also listen to this song every morning to get me going however I listen to this Version LOL
Great job mate
❤❤❤
Good on you for appreciating her voice & the way she sings. The last couple of reactions…they just went on about the song itself & how it was different to Eminem 🙄😄
Yes.....😊i think she reborned you! 😂
I’m happy happy happy ! I love this version - haunts me in the best possible way. I love the thought of you reacting to this❤
I'm so glad this is still getting some love after Ronnie broke UA-cam with his Drop. Hope they eventually bounce off each other and make FIR, Em, Kasey, and Papa Roach thrive for years. I grew up on Em and Papa, rediscovered Ronnie, and kasey is a talent on her own.
I'm ranking this number one alternatitve person cover of a rapper! I love boyz in the Hood cover by Dynamite hack! If you haven't reacted to that, that's a killer! And gin and juice by the gourds. Both great covers but Kasey killed this!
So happy your back! She made this song a. Emotional story like she knew personally what Eminem went through.
I was waiting on the whole band to kick in- you face😂❤ Best reaction friend.
So glad to see you react to this! Amazing performance...
great review
Love your reaction!
Great great great reaction!
Bro you my favorite reactor to this video. Ima catch up with your more recent shit too. Keep it up big dawg. Listen to this cover again 🫡🫡 Appreciate you bro!!
" I want to punch 13 dolphins in the butthole" that killed me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Yes, she did a phenomenal job!!
