This was my winner for Video of the Year! Thanks for checking out Ms Kasey Chambers

This might be one of my favorite reactions ever. Seeing the excitement on your face, and even the way it moved you was priceless. You're a beautiful soul, and I loved it.

BEST COVER EVER...

Kasey Chambers is Australian music royalty. Both parents are musician, the guy front, left of the video playing the lap guitar is her father. She has a very successful solo career in country music (5 #1 albums in Australia), she was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame (2018). Eminem has been one of her favourite songwriters for many years. She had the idea of this version in the back of her mind for a long time. It was the covid lockdown that gave her enough time to learn the lyrics properly and write the melody to it. The video was all thanks to Kasey’s fans. Spotting so many cameras at the concert where this was recorded, Kasey asked fans to send through any footage they had filmed.

When watching you think "oh, this is pleasant". Then it grows into "actually, this is quite nice". Then it grows all the way to "FVCK YEAH" before ending at "The universe is 16billion years old. And I'm lucky enough to exist with this"

Nobody swears like an Aussie.

This version you can how the mood changes with each verse. 1st verse he’s depressed, 2nd he’s getting belief, 3rd no stopping him now. The Original won a Grammy, This version should have an award named after it - Kasey’s Cover Award. Oh yeah - Great Reaction, can tell you speak from the heart, so finding the right words was spot on and easy on the ears.

I an an Aussie but even here what Kasey does to that Banjo should be against the Law.

not a cover, more of a tribute. Incredible!!!!

Wow, absolutely don't know her, but this was fire.

I’ve watched a lot of reactions to this and you are one of the few who have immediately got it from the very start. Most others are confused by the way Kasey begins, but you were engaged and appreciative from the moment she started singing. Kasey Chambers is a huge artist here in Aus and has a catalogue going back over 20 years of excellent songs of her own. Certainly worth checking out more if you’re interested.

Since you enjoyed this, check out an original from Kasey called "Ain't No Little Girl". The video or live - both are great Thanks for your great reaction, Kasey deserves it ♥

That is the Correct reaction.

This blew my mind as well🤯 My son grew up listening to Eminem but you don’t even need to know his original to fully appreciate this “cover” the intensity and passion in this performance was next level… YOU GO GIRL💥🪕💪🏻

Wow your reaction was so pure and connected to every moment. I’ve watched many reactions to this incredible performance and through you I relived my first time hearing it again. You are special, such a beautiful authentic human ❤

Love the honesty of your reaction. Solid proof that reactors don't need to drown you with words

This was epic. If you aren't moved by this performance you must be dead. What a fantastic interpretation and arrangement of the song. Props to the band as well. Best cover ever.

WOW! That really was epic. Love your reactions. 😊💜🖤💜

Kasey has a catalogue of great original music. A deep rabbit hole to be sure.

In my view this is by far the best that Kasey Chambers has done...

Kasey's professional career is reported to have started when she joined her families band, The Dead Ringer Band in 1992. In truth, she was writting songs for her family and singing for them uncredited before 1992. About 1999 she left the family band and went solo. She was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame about 2018. The ARIA'S are Australia's version of the Grammys..... The Aria Hall of Fame is our version of the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.....except much more meaningful and includes all popular music styles, including ROCK....unlike the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame that ignores great rock musicians and vocalists in favour of insipid POP artists. lol

What an absolutely stunning and beautiful reaction to one of the best covers of a song ever. Thank you

The band is epic

Adorable reaction. Really enjoyed watching your emotional roller coaster. Cheers from Down Under 😊

The best cover of any song, anytime, anywhere. The brilliance of Em's lyrics performed at a whole different level of emotion by Kasey Chambers. Great reaction.

Loved what she did with this song !! Hard to improve on the original but she made it her own and delivered a great performance. Awesome! Would like to see you react to Aurora covering Believer by Imagine Dragons. I really think you will enjoy it !!

She left everything out there on that stage! Its a great tribute to a great original. And that was a great reaction to them.

a very authentic reaction. I love it

The beauty of this is everything was always there in the lyrics but the driving cadence of rap doesn't lend itself to subtler emotions. So she is bringing out the fear int he first part, the frustration in the 2nd and the anger and determination when the key change kicks in. I dont think really realised how truly sad and heartfelt those early verses were with the driving rap delivery of Eminem but you could hear it here. I am sure he would be pleased someone got what he was saying and was able to bring it to the surface so spectacularly because it once and for all demonstrates what a great songwriter he actually is.

Original songs to listen to would be The Captain (her song from The Sopranos) or Ain’t No Little Girl ….

Girl, I love your reaction to this. It is the best cover of this song by far. The raw emotion just gives chills. Noone, not even Eminem gives you chills on these lyrics. She has dismantled it and made it her own in true Kasey style. It's epic.❤

Enjoyed your reaction! What an amazing cover! Kasey is a phenomenal artist!

the guy sitting down on guitar is her Dad.

I don't know how many reactions to this performance I have seen, but I never get sick of it... I just keep coming back for more.... nice reaction....

You seemed to feel it almost as much as Kasey. 40 years in the industry loved by too few, to become an "overnight success" doing a cover/rendition/re-imagining of a Rap. You could dive into her new material, or you can discover her as I did, chronologically via 3 of her original songs. 1) The Captain [as heard in The Sopranos]; 2) (Am I) Not Pretty Enough [in response to mainstream media not playing her music]; 3) Ain't No Little Girl [showcasing the goddess she has become].

Kasey's got about 12 albums out and is one of Australia's top country/bluegrass artists (in our hall of fame). If you want to hear more of her wheelhouse, as some have suggested, 'Aint no Little Girl' is another fairly recent hit, about a mature response to your partner being a real b*stard. Kasey has that rare gift of exposing her heart on stage and allowing you to step into her emotions and feel them with her. It's really a matter of picking the emotion you're after then listening to the matching song. So 'Pony' takes you to your first crush, 'Not Pretty Enough' is about that need for recognition, "Captain' is about when it all just gets too much and you want to rest in someone for a while and 'Nullarbor Song (Live)' homesickness. Oh, and 'Barricades and Brickwalls' is about 'you're mine, boy'. As with most Aussie artists, live performances will usually be best.

Em gave Kasey the permission to put this version on her Spotify

Loved this! Have to admit, I came for your Ren reactions... but wow! This was great, you've exposed me to a few songs and artists I probably would have never checked out otherwise.

Really love your reaction ❤

i love this. it proves em's words are just that good

One thing, never cut off an artist’s applause.

Haunting!

Your reaction to this song by an Australian Queen 👑 Is beautiful.

I loved that this video made you cry. You were definitely feeling the emotion that Kasey was channeling in her voice. I love this cover, but I have been of fan of Kasey for decades. She definitely has lots of great originals. As others have suggested, you should check out Ain't No Little Girl. I like the PBS Bluegrass Underground version (she sings live in a cavern in TN).

I'm so glad you did this one. Together with Hi Ren, the 2 videos that have been released recently that make my all-time list.

Another cover that comes to mind is cindy Lauper's true colours. some original songs are, Pony, Am i not pretty enough, The Captain, Ain't no little girl. just to name a few.

A wonderful reaction, and I may have fallen in love a little bit with your smile

You need to check out Casey's Ain't No Little Girl! You won't be disappointed!!

Oh my goodness 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

I’m Aussie I knew it would be FIRE Because Kasey is the best singer in Aussie history. But Even I wasn’t expecting the greatness that happened in those video

Thank you soo much for this. All ❤

What a great natural reaction thank you 😊. It’s a beast of a cover isn’t it . Kasey was singing her own emotions in this song from her own struggles trying to break in to the market . Try Kasey’s- Not pretty enough and Ain’t no little girl . Sub from me 😊

Matt Corby (brother) and Delta Goodrem (heavy) also Guy Sebastian are all worth checking out.More very talented Aussies.

Adore this reaction!!! X You are golden dude... much love from Australia, this is our secret princess we don't want people to know about, Kasey is ours and selfishly we want to keep her purely for us, as she means so much... but glad you got to experience our princess, the only female ABLE to stand next to Eminem and truly say 'hold my beer'...thank you for reacting and much love, brilliant reaction champ. X

Great reaction to an epic piece of musical mastery. Only criticism is you ended it before the clip was finished. Her sheer exhaustion showed right at the end and capped it off. To see where Kasey came from and understand what her family did to nurture her talent, google Australian 60 Minutes - Kasey Chambers. It is a 20ish year old story, but fascinating.❤

So glad to see you do this! Emotional for you and me.

Loved your reaction chick. As a fellow Aussie I'm so proud of her talent.

I am familiar with this. In fact, know it well. I am just watching to see the new reactors lose their minds.

She now owns this song. It's hers. It's no longer Em's anymore.

Music is powerful...you experienced the full power.....great reaction....and yes Kasey has many of her own songs. Love and Light from Australia.

Brilliant performance Lovely reaction young lady. Everytime I hear this I can feel it. I first heard her do a Dolly Parton cover, Little Sparrow.

Probably the best reaction I've seen to this. I love the slide guitar wailing over the top, played by Kaseys dad Bill Chambers.

Check out her song ‘ain’t no little girl’ ❤❤❤

She raps you and takes you on a journey another song where you get a lot of her voice range is pony nice to see you enjoyed the song

Yours is one of the best reactions to this (and almost any) song I’ve had the pleasure of watching. It’s crazy- you got choked up at the same parts as I did the first time I watched this incredible performance. I mean, how can the word “motherfuckin” get me teary-eyed TWICE in the same song?! Amazing! I appreciate that as a musician you’re seeing it through a different lens than many of us and that made watching your reaction that much more meaningful. I’m now off to watch your Radiohead reactions! Thank you, Jessie Cheers!

Kasey is well known in Australia but unfortunately not here. For a great original song try Ain't no little girl. I would suggest the live version from Bluegrass Underground.

Just a few random thoughts: Her raspy and intense voice reminds me of Melanie, the harmonies remind me of Aurora singing with her guitarist O. Martin, and the sudden, massive drop of the whole band reminds me of A. A. Williams's music.

Kasey Chambers has original songs 'Not Pretty enough' and 'Ain't no litte Girl'

If you like this you're really going to love her own stuff. Start with 'Ain't no Little Girl' - live at the Bluegrass Underground. Such a powerhouse.

Hey girl, you know music, you love music, you respect music!,❤

Thanks for a heartfelt honest review

I recommend you react to "Not Pretty Enough", it is classic Kasey Chambers.

She usually throws one or two covers into most of her shows

Beautiful reaction!!!!! Music is very much apart of your soul ❤❤❤❤

I could feel you feel that

She’s great and if you love great covers you need to react to Haley Reinhardt’s cover of Creep. A must watch..

This really is a stunning work of art!! From Em's lyrics, to the band, to Kasey's passion, to the audience phone footage. And yes, Eminem made this song iconic, but Kasey Chambers made it epic. As mentioned in the comments, her own song Ain't No Little Girl is just as emotional, and should be the anthem for every woman on the planet. Good luck with discovering more of Kasey and her band. G'day from Australia.

A truly great reaction - Wonderful to experience it with you ❤️ 🙏🏼

While Rap 'Purists' may not like this, Kasey's emotional, heart-felt performance is stunning.......sung from a female perspective, she takes Eminem's words and makes them her own.......artists do covers (1) to pay respect to the original and (2) interpret that song personally.....Kasey does both .......

Brilliant reaction!

Liked and Subbed. Thanks for a great reaction. Now next I recommend "Ain't No Little Girl" where she let's her ex know she's had enough. I so enjoyed this for personal reasons...lol Either live or her official video as both are epic performances. (I like the official video best) Hope to see you jump down the rabbit hole of Aussie artists.

Love your reaction! What an incredible cover! Kasey's voice is phenomenal! Thank you for reacting!

Best reaction 👍

New subsciber. I very much enjoyed your reaction to this amazing performance!

If you let the video run to the end, you would see how exhausted she was after that performance, staying bent over in her bow for much longer than normal.

You’re awesome, great video!

What a lovely reaction (from an aussie)

"When you were a teenager.." that's a very smart thing to say to sound older... if you were a teenager 🤔

I love your reaction! Just found you, you’re so intense on it haha love it! Kasey is amazing xx

Our Kasey. ❤ au,.

Loved and subbed. Best reaction ever!

❤

Luv the reaction. Great emotion. Nice work! 🤘

👌

I get goose mountain ranges🗻Love the backdrop but how will I know if you have remembered to flip your calendar 😂🫶

Backing voacls and lead guitar is Brandon Dodd, aka Dingo... Hes been in her touring band for around years now.

great reaction, we can see it has hit you like it hits many of us, im not a big eminem fan but this has shown me what a great lyricist he is, to have written a song that can hit people in different ways, Kasey is Australias darling of the music industry, a country singer who has a great catalogue, a suggestion would be "aint no little girl" she says this song is what holds her whole life together, both video and live versions are great, but for me the video version hits harder, here is a link to the video version, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gtZinZhonszLnH0.htmlsi=QNOvhB32agE2Gab0 , have been enjoying your content since discovering it just recently, you are a beautiful down to earth soul, and i wish you all the best, you have a fan in me. (and many others by the looks of it)

I still get emotional every time I hear this

Great reaction. You're energy is infectious. I was wondering if you are familiar with Pink Floyd for Led Zeppelin. If not, I love to see you react to some of the music from when I was a teen. Pink Floyd....Time. or Led Zeppelin...Dazed and confused. Peace ✌️
