Great reaction Dame! Everyone assumes the Levites are the back-up singers but they’re actually the band. The singers are called ‘The Standard’ and you’re right, they are awesome and blend so beautifully with our Stan’s voice. They crossover to Te Reo Māori, which is the language of the indigenous people (Māori) and also an official language of New Zealand. I wish Stan was more recognised internationally because he’s phenomenal and could put a lot of so called singers to shame, but he wants to do his own thing and not what the studios tell him to do. Props for being true to himself 😊

Stans song is from Crowded House. Another group from New Zealand. They are in their 70's now.

You should watch his song Thank You - it was to his mama... and the story of his cancer is AMAZING... he lost so many of his family. But there was a video about his story.

Really enjoy your reactions to Stan! Thanks for giving him the flowers he deserves! The world needs more Stan 😍 This is a cover of Crowded House’s song 😊

Fire cover. The original that Crowded House made famous in the 80s is also 🔥🔥🔥. Miley Cyrus and Arianna also did a live cover of this which is insane

Thanks for another dope reaction video ❤i watched a voice teacher who did a first-time reaction video on stan walker, and it was pretty informative how he mentioned that Stan was using his thoracic and diaphragmatic region to breathe a lot throughout the song. I just love his soulfulness. The back up singers and band just add that extra icing on the cake when it comes to creating Great music together.

He has always been great before his stomach was removed. To sing the way he can without his stomach makes him even more amazing

Happy New Year, Dane From a greatful indigenous Maori in, NZ. Have a safe and successful, 2024.🙏😍👊💪✊️🎯💯☝️

Both mother (April) and son (Stan) share the rare cancer-causing CDH1 mutation which has already been responsible for the death of at least 25 of their family members. Both had their cancer removed - which, for Stan meant having his whole stomach taken out - and both are now cancer-free. Checkout some of his originals with the Levites, - Bigger & TUA (Maori version), New Light, Inside Out or his other collabs Choose ft Hamo Dell, Don't Worry Baby ft Celina Sharma, Aoteaoa, Come Back Hoe (Live) Tennessee Whiskey ft Parson James etc

Don’t dream it’s over was a 1986 hit by Crowded House. It was an Australasian band but the lead songwriter and singer was a kiwi. This song is a NZ classic so Stans rendition really brings it home for us. Tēnā koe Stan. You rock.

New zealand talent right there..our bro Stan..the songs actually from Crowded House and the Lead singer of that group is Neil Finn and hes also a proud new zealander

He be blessed!

He survived it by the grace of God, all glory to our Father in heaven...

The language is Maori, the language of the indigenous people of NZ

Btw..he could sing before he had cancer and got his stomach removed.

Before he had his stomach removed, he won Australian Idol. So I don’t know why people bringing that up.

The Levites are the band and the background singers are The Standard

Love your reaction.

He sung like this before cancer, please people he survived, nothing to do with his stomach his mother had it too family genetics

This waiata (song) is from New Zealand band Crowded House (The Finn Brothers) and Stans cover is outstanding.

Hes singing in his native tongue the Maori language of New Zealand.Stan is a Maori which is the indigenous race of New Zealand.

The Levites are the band and back up singers are The Standard. They are family.

He was dope even before he had his stomach removed ☮

Stan Walker amongst the best singers in the world. His voice is so smooth. Carry on ❤

Kia ora Bro Awesome reaction to one of our dearest Maori boy Stan, Thank you. Could i please request NZ band called Fat Freddy Drop. Black bird live in underground London. Or another Stan song called New Light live with the Levites Thank u 😊

Great reaction, and yes Stan had hs stomach removed and had to learn how to sing again with hs condition, but his love for God and family got hm thru

Thanks for the reaction Dame 🙌🏾🧡Levites are the band

Original song from Crowded House also a New Zealand group🇳🇿👏🏾🌺

Stan has always been a NZ treasure and he could sing his butt off before he had his stomach removed.

It’s the same language in the very first reaction you did of him Te Reo Maori

Just on the stomach thing - that makes him even more amazing right, like pipes like that still - amazing!

I saw Stan when he was 18 or 19 years old and appeared on Australia Idol. You can find some videos on KZfaq but many are degraded from time. His gift was apparent then but he was so very shy and giggly. His audition song was John Legend's Ordinary People. If you have the time, you should check those out to just see his growth in his confidence and performance. He even was a judge at on New Zealand X-Factor.

Might not have a stomach but he damn sure got some lungs!

Thank you for the reaction ❤️

the original song was written and sung by neil finn a fellow kiwi from new zealand

The original was done by New Zealand/Australian group Crowded House.. Stan is so talented.. the other language he's singing is Maori, the native language of New Zealand... Also on the stomach thing, their is a whole documentary on it, also goes into the life he had as a kids, victim of physical and sexual abuse 🥺🥺 amazing human he is.

This is a cover song from another NZ/Aust band, The Crowded House

No, the original is sung by Neil Finn of Crowded House another NZer..

Māori language native to New Zealand

Stan the man! Alot of Māori people have them good vocal cords

Liked his cover of Miley Cyrus The Climb as well.

Kia ora from the hills of West Virginia. Te Reo Maori is the language. I e been attempting to learn it recently and my sincerest apologies to any native speakers of the language if I have misspelled anything in my ignorance. It is a rather difficult language to learn, especially when you have no one to speak it to. Anyways, you should look into the culture of the Maori, the Haka would be a decent place to start. But remember “he tangata, he tangata, he tangata”. The most important thing to know in the world…(It is the people, it is the people, it is the people “. Aroha to all people.

Has nothing to do with his stomach. His voice was magical way before he had it removed. If anything, it sounds more powerful after the surgery, but he's been touching souls well before that.

Idk why they keep bringing that up cause man’s was an amazing even before the whole operation and stuff

Please react to Stan Walker and the Levites ‘Inside Out’ live. 🙏🏼

It's Maori language sweetie. From New Zealand

At least it wasn’t his lungs

Not bad huh considering he had stomach cancer couple years ago

Be really great if DAME managed to actually nod his head in rhythm with the music, instead of looking like something you put in the back of a car window!
