Kasey Chambers - Lose Yourself (Eminem Cover) LIVE @ Civic Theatre, Newcastle AU 

Anyone else first see this on a reaction video, then proceeded to watch it a hundred times? 🤯

Makes you realise all over again how spectacular a lyricst Eminem is.

It’s takes a set of balls to take on that song. Let alone put your twist on it….And perform it live! C’mon. Really??? She absolutely smashed it!!!

Anyone still coming back to this, or finding it fresh? This wonderful human poured her soul into this performance! You can hear, see and feel it. What a gift More respect should also be given to the band. WOW they are tight!

Here is proof enough that magic exists. Kasey, what you managed to make us feel in that build up was nothing short of divine. It was an honour to analyse your vocals in this performance. I am so excited to hear you again. You are a force of nature. 💜

56 year old metalhead here! And this just blew me away, Kasey Chambers you deserve a bow, a standing ovation, and that heavy hitting crescendo, was the most epic piece of awesomeness. Never heard a better live performance ever!!! The angst, eeriness, darkness, edginess, rage, tears, and everything else mixed in, (Banjo Shredding 💕), and it was beautiful! Thank you Kasey, and all band members, what a blessing in disguise.

20 years on from the original song release, and I've not heard anyone bold enough to even approach this number, let alone make it their own. A stunning rendition. Thank you for your art.

"Nah, it's not possible.. surely... to put all the angst, frustration, pain, sorrow, trauma, sweetness, beauty and then anger, rage, determination and humanity into one performance?".... Casey Chambers... "Hold my beer!"... Fuck me, that is hands down the most powerful thing I have ever experienced, probably the most powerful performance ever recorded. It's a joy beyond my capacity to express to watch it. I especially adore that one moment before the last refrain where she sings "The last chance that I got... " and backs away from the mic singing "got" (is singing the right word?) and the she literally "Loses Herself"... completely for just a moment. And Casey, every time I watch and hear that moment.. I lose myself too! Brilliant.. Thank you Casey, I see you and it's magnificent!

I'm a VERY old bugger at 83 and the first time I watched a reaction to this song, I was totally blown away. As you may expect, I'm not a huge rap or hip-hop fan, but I must say I have watched this performance probably 50 times, maybe more. WOW, she really kills it and her old man really shreds that lap/steel guitar.... what a performance from a very talented singer... "still getting over it"

Cant believe this has been on RU-vid for almost 2 years and I've never head it before, the algorithm is slacking lol! This is an INCREDIBLE cover of a powerful song. It's going in my playlist

Has Eminem heard this? He needs to! Wow. Not in a million years could I have imagined that song being covered at all. Thank you RU-vid rabbit hole.

Life long Eminem fan here and wow I am speechless. This gave me the chills and brought tears to my eyes. Kasey is unbelievably talented! She literally lost herself in the performance. This needs to have 10mil views easy

This clip doesn't do the performance justice, I was there in the audience that night, and the whole crowd had a raw electrified emotional intensity running through it that just kept building with every verse as she went. I'm tearing up now just reliving the memory of those feelings in the moment. I'm not particularly what you'd call a 'fan' of Kasey Chambers or country music (there are very few artists I'd say I am), IMO she's a great song writer though, and she is hands down one of the best live performers ever! If you haven't seen her live, do yourself a favour.

What makes this special is her son is lead guitar and her father is on the slide guitar

I didn't know who Ms. Chambers was before I saw this on The Charismatic Voice -- I'm now trying to find any more performances or her released work that I can find, especially the live performances. I'm from Detroit, very close to where Marshall grew up. He actually opened for the group my friends had going at the time (obviously before he met Dre, we were all around 18-20 at the time) to where I've met him a few times, and I'm sure even he is blown away by how she covered this song. This is one of the most powerful performances I've ever seen.

This may be the best cover of any song I’ve ever heard.

There's something magical about hearing a song you've heard 1,000 times done so original, so different, so raw and emotional, that it's like you've just heard it for the first time. I always thought Eminem was a phenomenal lyricist, but Kasey made sure every line was packed with pain, sorrow, regret, anger, rage...even optimism. I stumbled upon this song and like everyone else that started watching, I thought, "Is she covering this with a banjo?" and by the end holding back tears, completely blown away. I heard that even Eminem gave her the thumbs up to share this and profit. Can you imagine writing this song, winning a Grammy and an Academy Award, and then hearing another artist cover it and do this much justice? Bravo Kasey. I'm a fan.

Eminem brought the lyrics but Kaysee brought the emotion. This is the best cover I have ever heard. She tore it up. Bloody brilliant.

Possibly the best Preformance I’ve ever seen. How does this not have hundreds of millions of views?

How does this not even have 1million views in over a year. This should have 10million+ by now.

She is one of the most underrated musician in Australia! I hope Em catches this and thus blows this up for her. Is about time the world knows who she is.

I've stood here transfixed for 10 minutes. I almost can't believe what I just heard. I think I've ascended. This just went from unknown to OMG EVERYONE I KNOW HAS TO HEAR THIS. Wow.

Been spreading it around Austin, Tx, Imma get it caught on. This fucking rocks. I am so damn jealous of the crowd that got to be in the presence for this. Mesmerizing.

I have played this over and over..her interpretation of this makes it her own... soo much passion

Please do not call this a cover. That is simplistic for this masterpiece. This is a complete deconstruction and rebuild into, what has to be the most incredible musical experience I have felt in a very very long time.Your use of dynamics.. both with your voice and the band help bring your audience on a once in a lifetime journey. I have so much more to say but I need to freaking listen again... for at least the 40th time. Thank you so much!

She should release this. Its the best song , I`ve heard this year. The best cover. The best performance. She is amazing. What a performance. I`ve got chills.

You just made a masterpiece of a masterpiece

Kasey Chambers little did I know 30years ago seeing you at the Hume Country Golf Club and not appreciating the rawness of your talent that has now grown into an artist that is truly original and unique. You stand in your own lane the twists and turns that you have endured in your music career has brought you to this Masterpiece. It is truly a piece of Art!! Only to be delivered the way you have as you have lived the story that was written by the original artist. I talk about dynamics alot when I discuss music as that's what connects with me in my journey playing music. The dynamics in this Masterpiece are both vocally and musically overwhelming and it's no wonder that you have received critical acclaim. I was lucky enough to see you and your band perform this piece in Echuca. This Masterpiece is the standard that we as Musicians both professional and amateur should aspire to. If you haven't heard this sit back and enjoy!! Kind Regards Chris Baines

Man, I've been sleeping on Kasey. This was...this was something else man.

How does this not have millions of views yet??? This is a masterpiece. She took an already legendary song and somehow made it better.

This made me cry and also solidified eminems lyrics as pure poetry in another light.

Holy fuck! Now that is a monster! That’s sticking your fist down your throat and dragging out every bit of angst and venting it, right there. Bravo!

Honestly the most underrated cover of all time

I have never had my jaw drop for so long as I did in the climax of this rendition of the already iconic song. Like holy crap, the build-up from start to finish was nothing but absolute brilliance. Talk about redefining a song that was already close to perfect in its original form.

Did i just watch a country singer soulfully singing a rap classic while shedding the bango..... Thank you recommendation thank you..

Saw her perform this at Bluesfest. The tent was mesmerised and in awe of her talent. But what struck me more than that was her humility. So much talent, so much success and yet so much gratitude and respect.

I thought I'd listen to a minute or so but then 8 mins later think I might go again

That was insanely good. Goosebumps and tears here from me riding that rollercoaster as it built up to the end. So much raw, unapologetic emotion. Have you ever seen someone rock a banjo that hard? Amazing.

How can this masterpiece still not have reached a million views??? Especially, considering how every reaction channel host raves about the experience of hearing it !!! - It should have more than 20-30 million views.....................

a levitating ovation, because a standing one doesn't do it justice.

Holy fucking SHIT. Lifelong fan of Kasey and Eminem and am just seeing this for the first time. That is just mind-blowing to see an artist take another artists most popular song and elevate it to THIS level. Raw fucking power and emotion. Agggghhh! I feel like I could fight a God during that last chorus.

I saw Kasey Sing this Live in Tasmania last weekend at The Red Hot Summer Tour - Beyond AMAZING!!!👏👏👏💪🇦🇺

How in the heck are people sitting down by the end of this. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! This is ABSOLUTE FIRE

Holy shit. And with that banshee howl at the end, Kasey leaves her heart on the floor of the Civic Theatre and (judging by these rad comments) has torn ours out to keep it company. Revisiting this clip and it's still one of the.fucking.fiercest performances I've ever seen. The build, the drop, the climb, the desperation and grief and compassion she brings to this song... what a maven. And the band! That wailing screeching slide guitar trading blows with the electric as the entire band goes swamp deep and carries the whole rodeo home. Stellar.

Christ. That was good. When singers feel the words

Millions! Millions, people! That's what the views counter should show. The fact it doesn't, blows my mind as much as this masterful rendition. Bravo, Kasey! 🤯🔥🔥👏👏👏💐

he spoke directly to an angsty preteen who just needed something to believe in. and she's singing directly to an early 30s whose lost all her faith. this song is so powerful it's given me epiphany moments twice in one lifetime.

Captivated. Everyone's talking about this one Kasey. The reactors are going nuts over it. M's gonna be in touch for sure ,probably has already. Loved it. Reckon you've cemented yourself as the Queen songstress of Aus. Fucksake your brilliant, haunting, mesmerising.

I have only listed to this 45 times so far . I would say it's quite good lol. Possible the best cover of all time.

Don’t know if anyone mentioned this but the sound quality in this is amazing. The sound engineer did a phenomenal job ❤

Watching a singer that just pours out raw emotion, that puts all of themselves into something. Stunning :)

Only found this last week, if this cover was on tape I'd have stretched and scrambled the cassette by now the number of times I've listened to it. Kasey you done good 👍 it's blowing up the interwebs! I get chills every time I hear this🤟🇦🇺❄️ Sometimes forget how much talent we Aussies have. Rock on mylady.....

Unbelievable. It started on a high note, and continued to ascend throughout the entire song. I knew Kasey Chambers was incredible, but wow, this is something else!

Can't get over how well the line "you best belive someone will pay the pied Piper" translates into Kaceys version. Love this version as much as the original. Simply brilliant ❤

Am an old school Em fan from Detroit - listening to Eminem since 96 or 97...when he was still local....and..holy......crap.. I've listened to the original 10,000 times.. probably more...Once a day, 6 times per week at the gym for the last forever years.. and..ohh myy god. You smashed it outta the park. Eminem needs to cover you!

No one could have put a better spin on or even had the balls to attempt doing an Eminem song with such authenticity as this gal. What heart and soul! A beautiful voice as well! 💕

Absolutely mind blowing. Love it when Kasey lets the band off the leash & turns everything up to 11.

I was at this concert the theatre has the most amazing acoustics and everyone was just in awe of the music and the song it was like you had never e heard the lyrics before but knew every word at the same time.

Goosebumps! She really pulled out the emotional tone of the original track. Mind = 🤯

OK so Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt, maybe Joe Cocker's cover of With a Little Help From my Friends and this. This is one of the greatest cover versions of any song. Ever.

I know it's months since this was put up but with the more recent spike in reactions to this video, I along many others were introduced to you. As a very old rocker Country was never my scene and Rap even less so. I can't say this has made me a county fan or a rap fan but it has made me a Kasey fan, absolute brilliance and the video method was inspired. Thank you Kasey, finally something that shows these ridiculous TV music shows (like The Voice) that being able to sing is not the only talent, being able to create it or reinterpret it and arrange it and perform it is.. Thanks for the experience.

The build up from soft to that raw rocky crescendo is incredible!! Haunting and beautiful!!

I was fortunate enough to see Kasey do this amazing rendition, August 2022 Mundi Mundi Bash. Absolutely mind blown! 35yrs of seeing live music and her performance will be forever etched in my mind as the most phenomenal 'give it all you've got' performance. Brilliant!!

Who would have ever guessed that if you mixed a folk singer and her band with a rapper this is what you would get. We need more of this. Please🙏

I came here directly after having just seen a reaction video to this performance. I'm still buzzing from those spine tingling vocals. Wow! Just. WOW!

Wow the build up ... Amazing performance ... I can't wait for Eminem's comment on this masterpiece

Wow...Best Eminem Cover I have ever heard!!

You’ve got to be kidding me. What a fucking amazing amazing performance. Those vocals. Janis lives. We’re not worthy

I have lost count of how many times I have watched this video and I never get tired of it. Best music ever.

Now all we need is for Eminem to do a cover of "Not pretty enough"

You must have really blown the minds of the audience because that absolutely deserved a full standing ovation 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Every single fucking hair on my body just stood upright.....I'm not sure they'll come back down either.....AMAZING AMAZING!!!!! 🤯

You absolutely SLAYED this song!!! 🙌🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 👏👏👏👏

Why doesn't this have millions of views?? This has to be 1 of the best covers I've ever heard!! I love em but this blows the original out the water!! 🔥 🔥

I was prepared to say nope when I first heard the banjo. This song couldn’t be great sung in this type of genre. I would be horribly wrong. It’s absolutely brilliant. It completely blew me away. The best cover of one of his songs ever. Wow That’s all I have to say right now. Very emotionally driven and sung so incredibly well. It also highlights just how great Em’s lyrics are as well. Edit: Of course I liked and subscribed right after I found your channel. I heard it today on a reaction video.

Slowed down like this just goes to show how much of a word smith em is!! Unbelievable!! And I really enjoyed this version as well 👍

Pure artistry, one of Australia's finest.

That was unbelievable. Im in complete awe. Teary eyes. Goosebumps all over. That was one of the best performances I've ever seen

Now I'm sitting here after having listened to this masterpiece at least 25-30 times and still the algorithm hasn't proposed the alternative song version from this M&M's guy that everyone in the comments seem to be talking about...

I'm late to this, but... this song I've heard 1,000 times, she just made me hear it for the first time.

Hands up all that just got schooled by Kasey. Never realised her depth of talent until now. Needs to be a love emoji, not just a thumbs up...

Kasey never disappoints live. I saw her perform this at the Gold Coast and it was next level. Atmosphere was indescribable, amazing shared experience for everyone in the room. Unforgettable

I have always adored Kasey and her music, but this is absolutely a masterpiece!

Holy shit! We know Em is an incredible lyricist, and this is one of his best songs ever. But the spin Kasey put on this, the raw storytelling of her version is a fucking masterpiece! This is the first time I've heard of her, and I'm so happy that I found this. I'm definitely a fan now! The word amazing doesn't even begin to describe this version. ❤

I’m not a rap fan. I’m not a country fan. I know nothing about Australian artists or music. She just changed all that.

I cant stip listening to this. What a powerful performance.

I'm a stan and she killed it. Love it love you. She did this masterpiece justice.

It's like fresh air for everyone gasping for real music. The emotion is this is just wow

Just stepped into a Kasey Concert and...OMG! So frickin GOOD! 😍🤩 Never been a Rap fan but this was something ELSE. And a Masterpiece. All the Awards thoroughly deserved. Hilarious to go watch - particularly US - Reactors lose their minds watching this. * @ 2.09 couldn't help joining in. My 9 month old Puppy, busy shredding his latest toy, froze in shock; " Mum's HOWLING!?! Shit! Better Join IN!" & did. It's 1.41am here in Hobart. Not sure what my neighbours think of the howl-fest but don't really care! 🤣🤣🤣

This is absolutely amazing. This is the cover that i never knew needed to be done but so greatful it exists ❤

as a massive eminem fan, but also loving a wide spectrum of music as well as a guitar player and songwriter.. this was done to perfection of the style and tone of Kasey (especially as a LIVE performance rather than an edited recording). It also made me realise how much the words play a part to a song, and I'v been throwing on old karaoke tracks and doing the same thing with a lot of other Eminem songs and I'm amazed how many of his songs in particular can completely change when the words are sung in a slow deep melodic style. I hope i see more of this pleasant surprise.

I've never been a fan of Casey Chambers. But I have not been able to stop listening to this amazing performance.

Watched in blissful awe as Kasey preformed this at Bluesfest 2022! Absolutely gave it everything and the crowd knew we had felt every note of true artistry 🎶 Kasey is insane live. Seen her several times, but this moment at Byron was something special to behold!

Dear Kasey, That was Beyond Mind Blowing, Beyond Soul cracking... Totally Other Worldly... Utterly Transformational.... Full to over over flowing with such Magnificent Artistry .... You and your team created something ever so enormously magical here. I feel like Every thing you ever did, every moment of your whole life, every experience to that moment informed that performance... Although that was not a performance at all, that was a healing gift, a creation that will heal many. Other worldly ... life changing... Thank you Kasey for being you and creating as you do, and sharing it. Thank you seems hopelessly inadequate for such a grand artistic creation... You and your team are Masterful Artists, Merci merci merci. Bless you and your team. Bless all in your personal and professional life helping you be able to be you. Thanks ❤

What Johnny Cash did with 'Hurt', Kasey does with 'Lose Yourself'. I saw Kasey (on tv) say that her dad only gave her one bit of career advice : it was something like 'try not to be a dickhead'. Add to that kind of work ethos vocal nuance and power, stage presence, musical composition, kick-arse band, rapturous audience. Wow! All hail Kasey Chambers!

She SMASHED IT! she took Em's Lyrics and brought it to a whole new level!

This was a fantastic performance. You gave an Oscar winning song, an Oscar winning performance.

Wow... incredible. I haven't had a song bring up that much emotion in a long time. Did not expect that.

Madam, until today my list of covers that were 'co-owned' was limited to 3 artists: Christ Cornell in his acoustic version of Billy Jean. Johnny Cash with his Hurt. Sinéad O'Connor and her Nothing Compares to You. The order of that top 3 fell apart like a kite the moment I started listening to this masterpiece. Thank you, thank you for reinventing a hymn and doing it with such grace that it deserves to be considered in the same way. From La Habana, Cuba: THANK YOU! ¡GRACIAS!

For this video to be 11 months old and to have this view count seriously has me concerned where we are headed musically as a society. This is one of the best covers i have ever heard!🤯
