I haven't really been doing music reactions anymore, but this was a special request from a very special patreon member so here you go! WHAT AN INCREDIBLE COVER AND PERFORMANCE!!! I have so many movie reactions I have to get out to you guys that are already over on patreon, but this was a quick edit for youtube so I just wanted to get it up! Let me know what you think of this performance!
She had a song called the Captain on episode of The #Sopranos;a band with former husband called Rust & Bones & a very unique voice that comes from the marrow more than the bones..She grew up in the desert #Gypsy style,campfires,caravans ( trailers)her dad was a bushman & troubedor & the family Did music as a part of life.👍 This is a top shelf world class cover, goosebumps was the right reaction.☮️✌️
Worlds first bluegrass, folk, country, rock, heavy metal, rap song, played by a middle aged white woman from Australia, with slide guitar played by her dad in a Stetson…
This is just our Kasey being Kasey. Spilling her heart and soul out into the lyric and the song…….. it’s incredible. Eminem heard it and gave her permission to release it. He loved it.
I love how the crowd recognizes the lyrics just after she starts, and gives out a short cheer... then silence for the next 7 minutes! A captured crowd is a sign of the audience expirenceing something new with chills rolling across their skin.
A superb rewrite of a superb song. Firstly she gave it a melody, secondly she focused with her voice on the anguish in verses 1 and 2 that lead to the fuck you in the 3rd verse when the band came in - I will make it. The lyrics are easier to understand and identfy just how good they are "His souls escaping through the hole that is gaping" and his early life that lead to the I will make it- 3rd verse. Kasey said she always was an admirer of Eminem and of people who put all their emotions up front. The sentiments of the song clearly resonate with her journey through music. I love she also kept the rap cadence albeit slowed down.
Ya she did such an AMAZING job recreating this song in a way that sounds so different yet honors the original in such a fierce way! It must take a tremendous amount of talent to rewrite a song like that, I'd imagine it's harder than just writing a song from scratch in a lot of ways!
"What just happened?"........ Indeed, I also said that myself the first time I saw this, and I imagine every single person who has watched this has said the same thing. This is one of those performances that will stay with you forever. Thanks for a great reaction.
'The Fairy Voice Mother' said......."Kasey beats that banjo like it owes her money"!..........if you want true emotion and talent from your artists, just check out Kasey's performance...................for real.............
listen, I'm an Aussie man who just turned 54 the other day and I, like most Aussie men i think, pride myself on being tough (emotionally and physically), resilient, hard working and willing to fight anyone. I'm not a fan of rap or country, but for some reason, my eyes well up listening to this. My theory is there's something primal going on where seeing and hearing a woman in pain brings up something from deep within that makes us men lose it. Please world, stop trying to turn men feminine and submissive and women aggressive and masculine. Vive la difference.
Love that you had to go straight away and find someone to share this with. This is an experience that we feel compelled to share with others, which I guess is part of why we're all here watching reactions to it. Mesmerising performance.
I've been doing the exact same thing since I heard this for the first time last night. Facebook, Twitter, Messenger, I've been sharing it with anyone I think might remotely enjoy it. 👍
Love how much you enjoyed this! I’m an Aussie and always been aware of Kasey, and knew she was good, but never really got into her. This made me do a deep dive. If you do want to react to some more good Aussie music I’m sure your patron (I’ve forgotten his name) will have more suggestions for you, or I’m happy to give some.
@@KelseasComments Triple J is our “youth” radio station. They do a segment called Like a Version once a week where they have an artist on to cover a song. There have been some excellent live performances come out of that. I’ll do a bit of a dive and come back and list some good ones. My favourites are when they are like this cover and they completely transform the song.
I believe the performance of this song was referred to as rock ballad. Kasey is an Australian country singer/songwriter, with multiple ARIA(Australian Recording Industry Association) awards; and the youngest artist to be entered in the Australian Country Music Hall of Fame.
I've only just discovered your channel, your delight and appreciation of Kasey's performance. I'd like to introduce you to the Australian music scene, by recommending you react to "Top 150 Australian Bands and Singers"; it will show the massive music culture, with some from the 60's to the 2000's. Hope to see some more Australian content in the future.
Mesmerizing. Coyishly uncertain. Angry. Determined and triumphant. Words are wonderful. Lose yourself in the music and absorb the message. Greatness equals hard work. Thanks Kelsea and Jarrett, that was wonderful.
I have watched so many reactions to this and I still get full body chills too. the emotion she shows is so real and raw. I actually had tears flowing the first time I heard Kasey sing this. She left everything on the floor. And her band is just next level awesome. that is her dad playing the slide guitar. Also we believe Eminem has seen this as she had to get his permission to cover it....I'd love to know what he thinks... I must admit I never really heard the lyrics so clearly before. Love from Australia
Kasey Chambers is an Australian legend: the youngest person to be inducted into the Australian Music Hall of Fame, a dozen albums and has more than 30 ARIA Awards (the AU Grammy's). She is beloved but is ignored by radio and was shunned by Sony. She's been performing in her father's band since she was 12 years old (her brother is backing vocals and her dad is on the steel guitar on stage here). She had some pop hits in the 90s but her heart and soul is Country in her own style. She wanted to commemorate the 20th anniversary of this song because she loves Eminem, and she had the time to rearrange and compose this masterpiece during lockdown. She is showing so much emotion because she has lived this to a degree as well. She is now 48 years old and a mother of three. This recording is the first time it was ever performed live and was done at the end of the concert. They thought it went well, so they used the recording from the sound desk and asked their fans who were in attendance to provide any footage they had to composite this one together. While there has been no public approval from Em, she has been allowed to put this song up on Spotify without challenge.
She is still considered a country artist by some, because she started out as a kid, with her families country band. As seen, she has since branched out to do whatever she likes. No longer really country, she just does whatever she feels like at the time.😊
The Ba-ra-rum-dum-dum-de-dum bit is my favourite part. I love how Kasey Chambers shreds that bango like it contains sensitive personal information, or if you prefer, she slaps it like it owes her money
You aren't the only person this has left speechless.. just sublime.. Gives me chills every time too, something only a small amount of people get.. (over-represented in musicians and creatives). But as a sound guy I have to shout at the screen "YOU CANT HEAR THROUGH HAIR!!".. One of the best insulators there is! Casey is born in my State of South Australia.. And yes, thats a banjo.. she is ROCKING the banjo.. a proper 5 string banjo.. (the 5th tuning peg is half way up the neck) She grew up playing with her family country band, living in a van/bus touring across the country. That's her Dad stting down playing slide guitar.. and her bro on guitar/harmony vox. Eminem ALLOWED this to be released and used, he loved it when he heard it apparently. The ending is ROCKING and sounds like the ending of one of my favourite Pink Floyd song, "One of these Days" (check out the last 30 sec to 1 min) Hi, Liked and Subscribed from Adelaide, South Australia.. (in the middle, down the bottom!)
Kasey released the song Not Pretty Enough, produced by her brother Nash; it was a dig at the mainstream radio station for not playing her song, this was on her second studio album.
Eminem won a Grammy Award for this song, and Kasey done it how it should be done. Yeah the Lyrics are great, but I wouldn’t say the song is Grammy material… well now it is. I’m an old Slim Shady and Rap fan, but c’mon let’s be real - there’s no comparison which version sounds best.
@@SirSSau It’s a cover version / copy / whatever you want to call it. Either way If it wasn’t written she would have had nothing to ‘copy’. Did she alter the words? No, she COPIED them. The song won a Grammy far more so for its lyrics than the music. It is indeed a great version, I love it, but the talent is in creating something, copying / covering it is far easier. You have the benefit of hearing it a gazillion times and playing around with what might sound good. Especially over time. And what Eminem created was original and his own. What Kasey did is copy and change something that someone else created. That is why original artists get royalties from other artists who cover their songs. Paul McCartney wrote Yesterday, the most covered song in history. There is literally 1000s of them. And I’m sure there are some covers that many might think sound better than the original. But no one will remember them in 5/10/20 years time. They’ll only remember who wrote and performed the original. Like I said it is a great version, but it won’t be remembered. The original will. You’re clearly not an artist of any description if you can’t understand that basic concept.
@@Bluemusic66 Just let it go mate, it’s ok lol Rappers do it all the time with beat samples, which is much easier to make a song to a beat, than to rearrange a whole song like she’s done, and make it better. Go listen to Ed Sherrran’s cover of this song.
Have you listened to this since? Not having to react, have you allowed yourself to be engulfed in the beauty and sorrow and sadness and anger and found yourself in tears?
New subscriber. Really glad you liked this. So did Eminem and he lifted the copyright for her, so she could monetize this video. Yes, that is a banjo. She is really a country singer. The video was assembled from cellphone footage the audience sent to her. Everything about this performance! So good!
So happy to have you here!! That is really cool of Eminem to do that for her!! This performance was beyond amazing! I liked the feel of the video actually, the vibe of all the different qualities of footage kinda worked perfectly!
Yeah that's 'our' Kasey! Kinda like our Janis J? or Not. No - she's really all her own unique self. A briliant singer / song-writer and a real Legend down here in Aussie Land. I guess the world is waking up to her - not before time! Very curious to hear what Eminem thinks of it! They're such completely different renditions you just can't compare. BOTH Brilliant! [ Hi from Tasmania 🥰 ]
I hope Jarrett & your son are ok. I didn't like the idea of hyping your SO up on Kasey's rendition of this, before having him drive your son, but he seems chill enough. To see Kasey's original music in a journey of 3 parts, may I suggest (in chronological order): The Captain; Not Pretty Enough; Ain't No Little Girl. The Captain was one of her earlier hits; but she never got airplay on commercial radio, so asked if she was Not Pretty Enough; then she's grown into the goddess she is, but relationships still hurt, but she's not going to break down & cry, because she Ain't No Little Girl.
Lol they're perfectly fine! Jarrett is very chill and a great driver, especially with our kids in the car! Oh awesome I love taking things chronologically!
Cool, thanks guys, two reactions in one video, thank you. The only response from Eminem is that he has allowed this version on Spotify. Come on mate, tell us you love it!
Kasey owns this song, She finds the pain and the feeling deep down and in true Kasey style it comes from the raw visceral emotions that she feels in the words of an amazing writer and rapper Eminem. If you know Kasey's music you know that when she goes for that banjo pic, SH1T is going to happen and all hell is going to break loose. She tears this song apart emotionally and reconstructs it in a whole new paradigm. By the way, the reaction on your face is priceless and exactly what we all felt the moment that pic came out and Kasey let loose. It was a quizzical look of interest and enjoyment to start and then it hits you and you're speechless. Amazing to see yet another convert looking surprised and blown away by her ability. She tore the roof off that club in Newcastle Queensland Australia that night. Her Dad was on the slide and her brother was on the lead guitar. Shes a major Australian Country singer song writer here.
She loves a great song writer and had wanted to cover this for a while. The lock down gave her the time to rearrange this. It is a banjo. She is country veering into rock and or folk.
Gotta be honest it's Eminem for me all the way, I'm afraid. I am not a fan of his or Rap in general but this song mesmerised me and I even enjoyed 8-Mile. PS Hi Jarrett good to see you.
Ya I'm not a fan of rap but I think he's a really clever writer and I love how good he is at wordplay and stuff. His rap is so much better than any other rap but it's still not my thing. Mostly because the content of most rap is just... Not it. But this song is my favorite of his and one that I actually really like for the most part. 8 Mile is a great movie! I quote "HIS REAL NAME IS CLARENCE!" all the time. 🤣
I love that you didn't keep pausing the song and ruining the flow of it. So many people pause and add inane commentary "this is so different to the original" no shit sherlock :D
@@KelseasComments I'm not a Patron but whether you do a vid on it or not please check out Dub FX performance of "Made". The vid is in black and white, I think it's in Paris. Was posted about 10 years ago. Give it a look, promise it'll give you chills which is what it's all about :)
The howl note you heard at the end, was from the slide steel guitar played by Kasey's father. He was the guy sitting down on the left of the stage. Kasey's family are all musicians, she started her career at the age of 16 in the family group The Dead Ringer Band; with her mother, father and brother, her brother is now a music producer working on her albums.
I love seeing you react to music, and i would sooo love to see you react to the album Preacher's Daughter by Ethel Cain if you havent heard it already! If you do, please dont look up anything about it but do have lyrics on hand because it can be hard to make out the words sometimes
Love your reaction. That 'howling' sound near the end comes from the steel guitar, played by the seated band member (Kasey's father) with the guitar on his lap
Hey Bronte. I've been letting Kelsea get away with the pronunciation because it's cute. Maybe I should start schooling her on how to talk Ozzy. Mate will be the starting point. LOL. Arvo, mate.
It's so good it makes me really picture the guy in the song in a truly different way. I feel for his predicament in a new way. Kind of like to think of this cover as being the thoughts in the back of the guy's mind, and the rap being his constant pushing like a constant beat keep going do not stop
Could be wrong but me thinks that rockabilly was more cowboy western electric music than hill billy. Those early rockabilly stars yodled a lot and loved those satin cowboy shirts with the twin pockets and even frilly bits around the pockets or hanging off the sleaves ( like a Buffalo Bill rawhide jacket ). lol
Very special take on this song. Not sure if mentioned but the video was created after they asked fans to submit footage of the concert, and they stitched it together for this video from multiple sources..
Yes, NF, or Nate Feuerstein is an amazing rapper/artist. Songwriter from Michigan. He went mainstream in 2017 with Perception; the album charted at number one in the United States and was certified platinum, while its third single, "Let You Down", reached number twelve on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and was a top-ten hit internationally. He achieved similar commercial success with his follow up The Search (2019). Feuerstein's most recent album, Hope, released on April 7, 2023, had commercial success and peaked at number 2 on the US Billboard 200.
Not the same energy dude.. Kasey sang 4 minutes of anguish then exploded into 4 minutes of anger. And dude didn't appreciate her singing quality. Dude needs to open his mind to his wife's level.
In Kelsea's defense there was no "monetary element" involved. She did this on Patreon as a surprise for me, because I said I loved Kasey's Em cover. So, what are you talking about??? Maybe an apology is in order? And when you write stuff, make the sentences readable. I hope you are not an Australian. I told her Ozzies are nice people.
