I don’t know why Stan’s version didn’t blow up the internet! He’s one of the best singers I’ve ever heard! And his story is amazing! Look him up

Stan knows Sean and his family bro. He just updated it to pay tribute

He sung at Seans wedding my brother, and it looked lit. Stayed and partyied all night.💯🍻

He has so much more than covers man, he's so fkn talented. His voice is very angelic & he's super humble. His life story is sad, but it made him who he is today. Check out his stuff dude, you definitely won't regret it.

Michael Buble said God kissed Stan's throat. He's not wrong! This is God-given talent. How fitting that he uses it to sing His praise.

"All lives matter when black lives matter" . Powerful words. R.I.L Brother Sean Wainui✊🏾

Stan is the light, his voice and his heart is beautiful....nz is so proud of him xxxx

They are family and I’m glad this song this was dedicated to Sean, cause no doubt it was a fav of his! 💜 Aotearoa NZ loves Stan!

Stan Walker is a Maori from Aotearoa New Zealand ...He is the best of our contemporary Maori Singers ..... Most Maori and other Polynesians are awesome singers and we are natural at harmonies, B.V.'s and Choir Choral singing ... After we were visited and welcomed Bob Marley back in 1979 ... Bob Left a huge imprint on our music and messages - kaupapa (issues) music and the legacy he left with us on our music spawned borning of original awesome reggae music with kaupapa messages genre , into Aotearoa - NZ, to the point when other original Reggae Leaders/bands visiting Aotearoa - NZ these days are all impressed by the songs of our reggae bands compositions, performance of those songs musically and especially our harmonic vocals we get these gifts through our culture and our ancestors with several polynesian and western - English languages. Hip Hop Rap is a current addition by our artists especially in all our languages ... !! Mean az!! Our Reo Māoori is currently booming throughout NZ as our culture was based upon Haka and Chanting .. an oral tradition. !! The B.V.'s that are impressive to us backing Stans Lead Vocal enhances the total harmonic, the Wairua - SOUL , the power and beauty of his cover version of Kanye West's Song UltralLight Beam!!

Stan Walker is the man! 🙌🏽🔥 A Māori singer from Aotearoa (aka New Zealand) killing it on the music scene over here. Stan is fiercely proud of his Māori culture, heritage and ancestry. - Used to live in Australia where he won Australian Idol in 2009. - Opened up for Beyoncé when she came to Aotearoa NZ. Check out more of his songs, you'll find some more bangers for sure! 👌🏽

A lovely one of his is the song to his mum is 🙏 ☺️ thank you.

Kia Ora to all those watching from Aotearoa, sent with love from West Virginia in the USA. Just a hillbilly here and hope I spelled those words correctly but if not, hopefully the sentiment comes through better than my ability to spell words in Maori

Stan's version is better than Kanye West's the part about blm is Stan's addition to the original song which is appropriate with what's been going in in the united states and for all black people suffering racism world wide even in our country of New Zealand love Stan so proud of him and the Levites💗

Stan walker is a nz born maori that won a national singing competition in Australia 10+ years ago who went on to be an bilingual singer in both English and te reo maori. He is an actor, dancer and singer who has an amazing soul to go with all his talents. Shine on stan walker.

His original music is awesome as well.

Hes opened for beyonce bro, that alone is a mad milestone 💯 keep the reactions up bro!!

Yes! Stan walkers awesome! And he seems like a nice guy too. I voted for him on Aussie idol back in the day

Watch Stan singing ' I can't make you love me ' with Ginny Blackmore

Listen to Stan Walker (NZ) and Parson James (US) sing Tennessee Whiskey... perfect blend.

Stan Walker is one of Kiwi music’s best and most loved. ✊ So much Respect. His tribute to Sean Wainui - I back up the other comments here. I’m Kiwi- Stan Walker and L.A.B are my favs.

Stan Walker and Guy Sebastian are Vocal Geniuses!!!

Ofcourse not, there's no ill intention behind this cover. They're real friends of each other and close like brothers, Stan was at Sean's wedding and even sung so this is definitely dedicated to his passed brother R.I.P.

All lifes will matter when black lifes matter ❤

National treasure. Look up Aotearoa, Stan with other awesome singers.

Alot of people who have reacted to this have said Stan did this song justice. Stan Walker awesome awesome singer from NZ, would love for you to react to more of his other songs 👍🙏🙏 Love your reaction. ❤

Stan is awesome, Kiwi singer, been in the game for a while. React to his other songs with The Levites, if copyright allows it. He is also a solo artist, not hard to find his songs if you want to check them out. In recent times he's been releasing music singing in Māori (NZ indigenous language). Awesome channel bro 🤙

Hes a kiwi and also has his own songs, if you haven't already, thank you mum is a good song dedicated to his mother. Stan walker had a battle with cancer and made this song I believe. I'm not 100% sure but I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Sean and Stan were great friends...yes it was a great tragedy when Sean passed at the tender age of 25, a few days later, Sean was buried on the day he was to turn 26
