Voice Teacher Reacts to Matt Corby - Brother 

“not moving the mouth too much” that’s just the australian accent tbh

Every single Aussie: SLAMS PLAY BUTTON

Matt corby is a gift to our planet

As an Aussie, hearing that JJJ drum Like a Version intro ... 👌

He didn't even have an album, and that song won an ARIA Music Award for "Song of the Year" (2011). He's incredible.

Matt is an all rounder: remarkable singer, incredible songwriter and brilliant musician. His recorded versions are more polished, but he loves playing with dynamics.

Thank you so much for showing Matt 🙏 he's a national treasure in Australia

I CLICKED ON THIS SO QUICKLY. I've been waiting for you to react to Matt Corby (and this song in particular) since I discovered your channel back in 1994 or wtvr. AHH.

Matt Corby's such an incredible artist. You should check out his cover of Chains by Tina Arena

Yessss! I love him. I would love to see you to more Aussie artists or even more songs of his such as. Monday 🥺. Tash Sultana would be amazing.

Oof as an Aussie that saw Matt Corby on Aus idol in early 2000s, this was unexpected but cool

I’m so excited for you to finally react to him! Please please please listen to Matt Corby’s cover of “Chains” for Like A Version, it’s absolutely phenomenal, and what I always think of whenever someone calls the voice an instrument

As soon as I saw Matt Corby I had to click. He is such an incredibly gifted vocalist. His tone is beautiful. If you’ve not seen it yet, you should check out his performance of Miracle Love at Manchester cathedral. It’s pure magic.

Since you are already covering Aussie artists who are singing in the "Like A Version" studio at Triple J radio station, would you consider reacting the cover the DMA's did of Cher's "Believe"? Super curious to hear what you think of the singer's technique, especially considering he is chewing gum while singing! Would also love to hear a reaction of some of the other Aussie Like A Version/Triple J studio artists (especially Gang Of Youths)

Love that my fellow Aussie is now being recognised more and more worldwide after years of keeping him to ourselves. He is such a phenomenal vocalist. Every Matt Corby fan will know what I mean when I say that the reason he's so underappreciated by many is that his music often feels so personal to the listener, that it's almost like an invasion of privacy to share him with someone else.

If you do more Aussie artists you should react to Dave Leaupepe from Gang of Youths! He’s incredible and wasn’t classically trained so I think you’d have some good observations about his vocal choices

I loooovvveeee singing to this song. Matt Corby's so talented.

Yes Indeed! One song that i absolutely love by him is "Resolution". I've watched it over 1000 times. He is one talented soulful singer, & drop dead gorgeous! 🤪

Hi Sam I just stumbled onto your channel and watched this reaction. I'm an Aussie, I don't know if you know many Australian "Iconic" artists but I think you would get a thrill out of listening to a lot of them. Two great performances in particular are, first "Jimmy Barnes & John Farnham, When Something Is Wrong With My Baby" These two can sing with grit for ever then swing to sweet sounding melodies like its nothing. Second great performance is "lan Moss Performs Georgia Live from the basement studio" I really think everyone would get chills if they listen to them.

Triple j like a version sessions are so good! This song made top 3 in the 2011 hottest 100 countdown. Gotye was number 1 and The Black Keys number 2

"You can't build on yourself if you're just stopping yourself every time", I loved this whole commentary on emotional involvement and allowing vocal imperfections to serve the story. I NEED to get this through my head lol.

This is probably my favourite Like A Version ever made. It’s so raw and powerful. I love it!

Talk about vocal colors. This man has so many textures and tones and colors to his voice its stunning. Awesome reaction and video. Much love

"You can't build on yourself if you're just stopping yourself every time" - Sam Johnson ~ 2021 Well......Isn't that just something we can all learn from!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so fricken happy Sam reacted to Matt Corby! He is such an amazing story teller. This is one of my favourite songs ever. And I 100% love it when Sam just digs what he is reacting to!

matt corby is an icon in australia, an absolute angel. i’ve seen him live 5 times and he blows me away every time. so emotional and such a broad range of vocal talent. obsessed 💖

*Goosebump!* 🤗 As usual i love how you explained every detail on how singing technique worked and it also helps other people singing when they watched your videos

Been wanting this forever!! Matt is truly something else...our ears and souls are blessed

SAM! OHMYGOSH I am SO happy that you reacted to this!! This is such an amazing performance from Matt ❤️

Yes yes YES!!! OMG, this is one of my favourite songs/versions by Matt! What an amazing voice. So nice to see you enjoying it

I believe Matt, with his talents and voice control, had fun playing with this version, showing his range in a very controlled and calm way. Like if he needed to go up a gear, no problem. I just enjoy the casual vibe to this acoustic set, delivered with style.

I need more Matt Corby Reactions in my life! Most are live and all are amazing. "all fired up" "Miracle love" anything really.

I always learn so much from you. Wow. Stellar analysis, as usual.

I really like him, thanks for showing this talent to us!

Oh man, I just love your little motivational speeches in between the analysis. The part about experiencing telling a story is so true. It was very good timing for me to hear this today since I was writing a song that came straight from the heart but for some reason I just didn't like the sound of my voice today. But now I wanna get back at it. So thanks a lot, for another great video and for the inspiration! The fact that I've been talking about this for so long shows how much I actually appreciate it, especially because I've been crushing on Matt Corby for almost 10 years now so ohhh myyy it's good to see him on your channel!! It's time for me to stop talking and start singing again lol, thanks again and I'm looking forward to the next video!🔥

This is a fantastic analysis! I love how you pointed out that the imperfections are sometimes the viewer's favorite parts.

Love all of your analyzing/commentary you are doing.I really think you are most genuine, kind and helpful voice teacher on youtube.Thank you for helping a non singer appreciate and respect music and singers more.

Awesome, have been hoping you’ll take a listen. Have been lucky enough to see Matt play live x

I had forgot about this performance by Matt Corby. Loved this video so much, not just for your commentary and love for his voice, but for reminding me of just how talented Matt was. About to go binge watch his performances for the first time in years, thanks!

Please more Matt Corby. Nobody reacts to him except for this one song and he is so exceptional. He has so many colors and flavors and is my favorite singer but so unknown. Please react to more.

Sam! I looove how much you have posted these last few days!

This is AWESOME! I haven't heard him before, but he goes into high tones and then drops low again in a way which reminds me of Sturle Dagsland, and I *must* listen to him more!! Full on goosebumps over here.

Ahhhh I’ve been waiting for you to do Matt! He’s an absolute wonder!

YES YES YEASS I’m so happy you finally reacted to Matt!

Love love love matt Corby and especially this song 💜 thank you Sam!!

thank you so much for doing a video on matt corby

You are so informed and awesome. Great insight.

I've been waiting for this! I recommend another version he has on RU-vid: "Matt Corby - Brother (Stripped Back) (Official Video)". It's incredible!!!

Aussie Aussie Aussie! I’d so love if you’d react to John Farnham, he’s an iconic Australian singer who I truly believe is one of the best vocalists of our time.

Ahh FINALLY! I've literally been waiting YEARS for Sam to do an analysis on Matt Corby 😆👏👏👏👏 so excited to hear his opinion. I bloody LOVE Matt's voice!

Another Aussie just loving this video. This song is absolutely stunning. Thoroughly enjoyed watching.

Brilliant. Great breakdown bro. Subbed!

Learning so much and getting to know cool Artists! Sam you are a Sunshine :)

Matt Corby, “chains” please!

I will definitely remember to keep singing even when I don't make a sound I was expecting to make. Thanks Sam😊

truly love that you reviewed matt, he so incredible and a national treasure

oh my gosh YES, this song has been a favourite of mine for years, so glad to see him here

MATT CORBBYYYYYY! So happy you did this one. It’s like he’s painting with a million colors and brushes. It’s so damn interesting to hear his voice analyzed by you and I absolutely love when music transcends into a space where it doesn’t even matter, it’s just moving and GOOD. You’re gonna love him! Check out All Fired Up (the live recording music video), Miracle Love, Good to be Alone and Runaway live :)

Finally! Love it!

You need to react to more Matt. The man is so singular and unknown. Such a hidden gem. Id recommend "Monday", "chains", "Miracle Love", "All Fired Up", "Made of stone", "Trick of the light", "Resolution" etc. All have amazing live/live studio versions. There are far too few reactions to this amazing talent who should be appreciated much more.

Yes, he is exceptional and love seeing you enjoy it so much 🥰

I remember loving this song when it got big in nz 2012/2013... must listen to more Matt 😻

Aaaaaaaaah yes Sam! I never thought i'd see you go through a Corbs video!

SAM IVE BEEN ASKING U TO LISTEN TO MATT FOR *SO LONG* AAAAAAA

That was great, super interesting. Thanks man.

One thing you have to understand about Matt Corby is that this song has an amazingly huge emotional connection to him. Those slight imperfections and him singing quietly and louder in other places is to just build that emotion better for the audience so they can feel how he feels.

You gotta check out his cover of Chains - Tina Arena. It’s beautiful!

Love Matt’s voice. Great video I’ll be watching more

When I first heard the stripped back version 7 years ago, my jaw hit the floor.

What an awesome reaction/analysis. Matt is a an awesome singer not afraid to commit to the performance. I agree, it's the voice breaking that makes a performance brilliant.

A few vocally talented Aussie artists - Delta Goodrem, Tina Arena, The Veronicas, Anthony Callea, Jessica Mauboy (off the top of my head)

Omg im so happy ! Its one of my fav song!

Ach. This is one of my beloved ones 😍 never gonna forget those goosebumps when first heard him

I’ve been a fan of Corby since I was 17 years old and heard resolution on Breaking Amish. Haha Singing his songs is what helped me unlock my vibrato. 8 years later and I still take every opportunity to share his music with anyone who will listen. He deserves all the love, support and success in the world!

Yes! Loved this song for years

Matty boy, Absolute hidden treasure this bloke. Thanks so much for giving this clip time Sam

I was driving when this song aired live on the radio and had to pull over to listen. When Matt finished the song the presenters said they were getting a lot of msgs from people driving having to pull over.

I’m so happy that you loved the fabby Matt Corby. He’s truly amazing. 🥰

Loved this! Would love to see you react to more Australian artists!

love it!!!

Frick yeah I’ve been waiting!! Aussie Aussie Aussie!

Omg, one of my favorite songs

Ahh I love Matt Corby!! Please react to him singing Miracle Love live, it´s gorgeous!

I saw him live a couple times and it was like seeing an angel.

Excellent reaction!! 👍👍

MORE MATT CORBY! please.

Love it Sam. Keep doin what you are doing. Just needed to say that. First time I heard this song was on Australia's got talent. Some lady absolutely nailed this song. You reminded me of that performance. Thanks for keeping us company in isolation. :)

Great reaction !

amazing!

"Sam will probably like it" is my new motivation for when I do weird things singing alone in my car and I suddenly become self conscious about it even though no one else is around :D

Yesss love him

So glad you finally found this performance

Not sure if you know but he started on Australian Idol as a really young teen. Then I guess found himself and his sound and matured. He is awesome.

Yes! I enjoyed this greatly. I really think you'd have an awesome time with "Miracle Love" (live) as well. Matt Corby is a beast.

Matt Corby has been one of my favorite artist for year now. He deserves the recognition.

Hey Sam! I'm a big fan of Matt Corby, so glad you finally had him on your channel! I would recommend listening to his live recording of "Lay You Down / Song For" - it's absolutely incredible and one of my most listened to songs on Spotify. I think you'll love it, especially with the way he uses different "colours" through the song as you described he does so well. Matt Corby is also Australian which may have a lot to do with his pronunciations - eg lack of jaw movement, the pronunciation of the word "blame". There's another Australian singer who sings for the band Gang Of Youths who has a similar style and you can HEAR in his voice how much his jaw and mouth in general is just not moving. But still sounds incredible. I would recommend the song "The Deepest of Sighs, the Frankest of Shadows" to hear this really well. Thanks so much for this upload!

Ey bro, love you enough to accept any ads but omg that background music was the stuff of those nightmares that go from perfect harmony to plane crash in six seconds.

All that talent and bloody good looking to boot- damn🔥

yayayayay so happy you did matt corby!!!!

Matt Corby is my favorite solo artist. Period. Went to his last concert in Oslo a few years back and I had goosebumps the entire time. He sounds even better live than on record

yay, great video! If I may suggest material for some of the next ones: James Bay "let it go" Live Lounge
