When Stan Walkers cover is better than Kanye Wests original.

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!

Can’t believe it’s a Kanye original. The guy is a bloody genius. Never heard the song ever before and it touched my soul. Beautiful cover Stan!

He has an amazing story, he had stomach cancer, had an op and has no stomach, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to sing. Check him out on KZfaq

Kia ora! You appeared skeptical initially but ended up "experiencing" the performance. Awesome reaction!🥰

He’s amazing and us back here in NZ love him and all our NZ music artists. Thanks for listening to him.

I'm not a Christian but I am a person of faith. I love when people share their love for their Higher Power like this, whether it's the same as mine or not. It's a blessing to me. It allows me to feel love for them and their way whilst also allowing me to feel connected to my path.

Stan learnt to sing growing up in church. He has been through a lot the name tattooed on his neck is his daughter who passed away. He also is a cancer survivor. Much respect for your reaction.

New subscriber from New Zealand. Stan is amazing and he is the epitome of talent. Watching you appreciate him and The Levites and the musicians .... I wanted to give you a hug there for a minute. Kia Ora brother.

Nice Reaction Ryan, I see the kiwi's are showing you who we vibe too in NZ. As you may have already figured out, artists from this part of the world don't get the same exposure as those from the US & UK hence the reason why our artists aren't as well known. A few other Kiwi artists you might want to checkout are Teeks - "First Time", Six60 - "Don't Forget Your Roots", "Up There" and L.A.B - "In The Air", Controller", "Fashion Dread", "Ain't No Use (Live at one Love 2021)", "Proud Man" etc

Stan Walker and the Levites are Amazing in this Kanye West song❤️❤️❤️

You got the feels cos it touches your wairua (your spirit). Stan is Māori from NZ. He has a life documentary ~ years of childhood sexual abuse from cousin, violent father, stomach cancer etc. He's AMAZING! ... maybe watch some haka from NZ, that'll hit your heart & soul.

Respect brother from New Zealand

I just watched your reaction and it was amazing to see how much it moved you. Music does this to me to. Creative souls attract creative souls 🙏🏼 hope you are well.

Stan only made it great with his voice gift from the heaven's the world will listen

Understated reaction, which made it more powerful. I could feel how you don't want to blow up something for no reason, but this was an undeniable performance.

Kiaora from NZ. Loved that you loved Stan Walker and the Levites 💖

Another good song is Amazing Grace - Stan Walker and the Levites.. also a Christian rapper with some deep lyrics is TYJ - Never Would Have Made It

Check out Australian singer Guy Sebastian “battle scars” live at the home front he’s phenomenal

Whakarermai by Stan Walker this song will blow it sock off

u tricked me into subbing dude. ohh well 1st time coming across u n u seem cool.

I’m so sorry I said you were negative. Your patient and humble and respectfully opinionated...loved watching your reaction ❤️

I subbed because you said you don’t ask. That’s cool to me. The name is pronounced sean why noo e like moo e lol. Hope that helps cousin Churr

God works in amazing ways

You won't believe how beautiful Stan is very loved in new Zealand

Kia ora, nice reaction.

Keeping it real 💯 ❤

Awesome bro !!

Love your appreciation ❤️

Hi from NZ listen to ho singing purple rain great cover I believe Prince would like this thanks

Once he puts 2 and 2 together which is ( Kanye and Stan ) then he would finally know the diferrence between giving messages and sending them!🤷🏼‍♂️

I like that you knew that the person who requested was new to your channel. I think I'll check out more of what you do.

All us kiwis from New Zealand sing with feels, vibes, SouL bro check it out.. We have alot a Reggae Bands too and love our maori culture ❤💛💚 💯

💜

Hi my friend to help you out to say Wainui pronounce it why-newie. You pronounced it really well with your 1st attempt 👍

Your lettin loose dude...it’s a great thing

New Zealand’s finest! It’s the fact that Stan had his stomach removed after cancer. He’s not able to sing from his diaphragm like most and still sounds like this!

our father is the lord , who spoke ever thing according to the book of Genesis

Lab proud man bro

Please please react to his new song: 'I am' from the film 'Origin'. It's amazing and I can't stop listening to it. It feeds the soul :) The other song I really like with this group is 'I am the colour' - a song with a message and also gorgeous -please react to it!

He went through cancer recently. He’s got other covers that are just a soulful.

Liked just because you said you don't ask for subs 🙌

Watch his other songs.. he’s grown so much through his struggle of a stomach removal.

Kia ora (hello) cuzz from Aotearoa new zealand new sub for ya brother Hay I'll take you up on that no one is perfect..... Vocalist guitarist keyboard player percussionist song writer WARREN MAXWELL who is the front man for TRINITY ROOT'S AND THE LITTLE BUSHMEN ..... Trinity Root's song to check out is CITIZEN live at the tuning fork and THE LITTLE BUSHMEN song PEACEFUL MAN live with the new zealand symphony orchestra WARREN MAXWELL is next level insanely telented/Mellow man

Nice one 👍

You got the pronunciation right first time Y nui

Hey bro, check out brother by matt Corby triple J live version

What happens when muso's get together and collabarate ❤

Have you reacted to I Am with Stan who recorded, wrote and videoed it in Aotearoa , New Zealand for Irugin movie?

He has a book

Great reaction !! Stan has a new song out “I Am” written for the new movie Origin” check it out

Stan walker has a new song

Can you please reaction tone6 Group cover don’t pass me by Fred hammond (form New Zealand )

This is Kanye West’s song!!!

You should look into Sammy Johnson. He’s a good artist. Tell me what you think

Get Stan to perform this at MTV....watch Kanyes face.

I wish you knew the Kanye original when you did this.

That was a cool reaction from a heavy metal enthusiast. It would be interesting to see your reaction to a song Stan recently wrote for a movie by Ava Duvernay. It is called I AM {not to be confused with his other song I AM THE COLOR} . There is a official video. Stan also did a version of PURPLE RAIN when he was 18, No video just audio. React to it, that would also be cool. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o9thiNiWxp-vk3k.html

Given that you like Stan Walker, a Maori singer, and also religious music I think you would probably like this Maori version of How Great Thou Art: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pLuceK1jmaqae40.html. I would love to see your reaction to it. I am also curious how you would react to Hawaiian music: Josh Tatofi’s “Kāne’ohe” found on HI sessions is my favorite: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iNtgmpSh3s3HpZ8.html

Your audio of the song is slow :-) but nice reaction

And you weren't going to listen to it

It's not Christian, it's Kanye

Dude, don’t be so sceptic

New sub coz I wanna help all smaller channels grow !!!

Churr Stan, tino pai rawe, this is nothing new to maori Ryan, cuzzie stan knows that, we descended from angels and we are ngaringawera
