Captivated, entranced, enthralled, mesmerised, hypnotised even, and then, just a lil bit mind blown! Heck yes, our Queen of county melding genres and blowing minds! And FYI, Marshall may have written this, but is is her story too, she has genuinely lived her version of this life, you can really tell. And she got her whole family involved, that's bro on the sweet, rich country gee-tar, other bro on the banging keys and Dad on the lap steel. Ah-maze-ing. Ya gotta love it, and Marshall himself did too! Just imagine doing the sound for that!! Wow! Thanks for recommending it Peter! You have great taste!
Her interpretation of Eminem's lyrics is amazing. The audience were totally spellbound as this was outside her usual country music. They were blown away by her performance. Best cover ever. The emotion was palpable. It really hits differently.
This makes me teary every time I watch it. The emotion, passion and story telling of struggle grabs me each time. She puts every ounce of her soul into this,,,and it is brilliant.
FYI, Kasey asked anyone who was there and had their mobile phones recording to send footage into her, so as a result this video was made. Not professionally shot. BTW that’s her dad on slide guitar
The amount of emotion she put into this performance is amazing. No matter how many times I've watched it or listened to it on spotify, I am in awe of her interpretation of this Eminem song. For me, this song has stood the test of time and is just as relevant today as it was when it was released.
That was her dad on the steel guitar. Her normal wheelhouse is bluegrass/country. She's got a dozen albums under her belt and is one of Australia's most popular country artists.
And she's the youngest ever inductee into the ARIA Hall of Fame. Her being one of the most popular country singer, she's the only Aussie country music singer i know. Do they still have the Tamworth Country Music Festival or did that get taken away from Tamworth up to the Goldy?
Kasey Chambers is an accomplished Australian country singer-songwriter, who commenced her solo career in 1999; prior to this she performed with her father(Bill), mother(Diane) and older brother(Nash) in the family group Dead Ringer Band. Kasey is a huge Eminem fan, and during the lockdown for Covid reworked Eminem's rap song into her own song; such was the difference between the original and her version, she was given permission to upload this performance to Spotify in it's own right. Kasey has struggled at times, resisting being pigeon-holed to one music style; her 2001hit song Not Pretty Enough is a commentary on the reluctance of mainstream radio stations towards playing her music, and her 2017 hit song Ain't No Little Girl is meant to answer the questions raised in Not Pretty Enough. Enjoy this great Australian artist.
Kasey Chambers is a rabbit hole worth diving into if anyone is interested...she has multiple albums all very good...also one of the youngest female singers in the Australian Hall of Fame...
These are normal enthusiastic Australians who would normally be pretty rowdy, but they were told beforehand that the song was being recorded and to please reserve the applause for the end...
God, I love this cover! It's interesting how different the emotional content is between this and the original. I feel like the original expresses more of a determination to win, where this is a determination not to lose. It sounds like they should be the same thing, but they're not.
I liked your reaction until you commented about the introduction of the guitar taking you to a “Western”. Without being entirely sure why you were saying that I do feel sure you got that up side down. If a warm and tenderly played guitar makes you think of Westerns … could that be because Hollywood employed great musicians and composers to score a film that audiences would warm to? If someone here says the NRA didn’t invest in Hollywood then please offer the proof. It’s the reason why the US is so F…….d U. P
This is an amazing cover. Kasey's done an amazing job with both the arrangement and the performance. I also love the tone of that first guitar & the guy's harmonies. & at the end they were all ramped it up . Kasey, her dad on the slide guitar & wow that guy on keyboards. Brilliant show. I'm glad it was an encore because she was done by the end. Great reaction.
I must be getting up to the 100 mark watching the reactions to this performance, I am not a fan of too many pauses but this was okay. Great reaction. Someone may have already posted this but that's her dad shredding it on lap/steel. My all time favourite Kasey song used to be "Rattlin Bones'' but I am afraid this has taken over now.....
Thank you! Lol, some people get frustrated at my pauses and long commentary…I just figure I’m not for everyone and that is a good thing😉. Glad you didn’t mind the pauses and enjoyed the reaction!
@@ginxreacts I don't get this type of criticism, if you don't want listen to the reactor, just watch the freakin original video , and let the host do its thing
Great reaction GINX Kasey is a much loved Aussie artist. She retells Eminem's story with all the emotion and pain....such a wonderful version ...I agree it is so very haunting.... Hi from Australia I hope you'll check out more of her work. Suggest 'Ain't No Little Girl' live or her video is awesome too.
Newcastle Civic Centre holds about 1500 and I'm fairly sure this was the first time it was played to an audience. Lucky people! That's Kasey's dad on the slide guitar. This has been on my playlist since hearing it in late '22.
Far from the first time she performed it... There was already hype about the song by the time this was recorded... Hence so many people having their phones ready to record!
It's worth another run through concentrating on what her dad is doing. There are some lines he plays that are back in the mix a bit but once you hear them, man, they're really interesting and then you can't help but notice them every time. REALLY well arranged and for a live recording really well mixed but I do wish his stuff was a bit more prominent at moments.
Thanks for that reaction! I think i might have watched about 200 of it and i am always in tears at the end. Finally someone mentions that INCREDIBLE guitar (sound) coming in at 5:56! is that a gretsch guitar?
Kasey Chambers is an Australian legend: the youngest person to be inducted into the Australian Music Hall of Fame, a dozen albums and has more than 30 ARIA Awards (the AU Grammy's). She is beloved but is ignored by radio and was shunned by Sony. She's been performing in her father's band since she was 12 years old (her brother is backing vocals and her dad is on the steel guitar on stage here). She had some pop hits in the 90s but her heart and soul is Country in her own style. She wanted to commemorate the 20th anniversary of this song because she loves Eminem, and she had the time to rearrange and compose this masterpiece during lockdown. She is showing so much emotion because she has lived this to a degree as well. She is now 48 years old and a mother of three. This recording is the first time it was ever performed live and was done at the end of the concert. They thought it went well, so they used the recording from the sound desk and asked their fans who were in attendance to provide any footage they had to composite this one together. While there has been no public approval from Em, she has been allowed to put this song up on Spotify without challenge.
Kasey Chambers has always been brilliant it just took an Eminem cover to break her to the wider world. However she did have one song, The Capitan, featured on the Sopranos. The woman is incredible as is her family and band who back her. Tighter than a drum and harder hitting than Mike Tyson (a fairly dated reference I will admit😂). Kasey is an Australian treasure!
@johnnewman366 No shit man, it's owned by Eight Mile Style and the Bass brothers, who are Marshalls publishing Company. HOWEVER, Marshall instructed them to allow her to stream this version on her Spotify and not include it in the multitude of lawsuits that Eight Mile Style has brought against Spotify. Since all this explanation that I just had to go through to be factually correct is so much longer and drawn out, I chose to make my original statement. Which both amount to the same thing which is Kasey can have this version up and not worry about getting sued. So thank you Mr Newman for allowing the youtube universe the proper explanation. Now please go fucking police someone else. 🙄
@matthewcollins5451 do you have a citation for that because no one has yet been able to provide one and Google comes up with nothing? Plus Kasey once said in an interview that she didn't know where Em has heard it or not.
Sorry to partly burst your bubble, but the audience was informed the song was being recorded and asked to keep the noise to a minimum. But, yes, wonderful musician doing a wonderful cover of a wonderful song.
The audience also recorded all the video you are seeing on their cellphones...Kasey put out a request the day after the concert asking if everyone would mind sending in copies of what they recorded...the result is what you are watching
Kasey is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Australian music scene. I would recommend watching Top 150 Australian Bands and Singers, this will give a pretty good overview of our music scene. Names like Olivia Newton John, Tina Arena, John Farnham, Jimmy Barnes, INXS, AC/DC, Hunters and Collectors, and Crowded House just to name a few. I hope you take the opportunity to listen some great Australian talent.
More of a tribute than a cover? And she must have felt very nervous etc, same as Enimen did in the original, to stand there and do this? I mean, if you're gonna try a cover of Enimen, especially this song, you better be damn sure it's f'ing good or you're gonna be crucified?
watch some more aussie music. react to cold chisel, bow river, khe sanh, when the war is over. for starters . then watch georgia by cold chisel with ian moss on guitar. thank me later.
Silence in the crowd. We don’t know the original song here in Australia 🇦🇺 Also you need to listen closely to her as you work out what it is. A couple of folk picked up what the song was with the first few lyrics but it would be new to majority. Especially in this form.

I love how a brilliantly talented middle aged Aussie female musician is blowing the worlds minds. Kasey killed it!
Her interpretation of Eminem's lyrics is amazing. The audience were totally spellbound as this was outside her usual country music. They were blown away by her performance. Best cover ever. The emotion was palpable. It really hits differently.
This makes me teary every time I watch it. The emotion, passion and story telling of struggle grabs me each time. She puts every ounce of her soul into this,,,and it is brilliant.
Shoutout to the keyboard player living their best life
🤣always cracks me up.
He is awesome!!!
40 years of grinding & hits, to become an overnight success.
FYI, Kasey asked anyone who was there and had their mobile phones recording to send footage into her, so as a result this video was made. Not professionally shot. BTW that’s her dad on slide guitar
Fully live action.
The amount of emotion she put into this performance is amazing. No matter how many times I've watched it or listened to it on spotify, I am in awe of her interpretation of this Eminem song. For me, this song has stood the test of time and is just as relevant today as it was when it was released.
Kasey feels every one of Em's lyrics because she has lived them! Such a raw and emotional performance.
She's just one of a kind - and gold live.
Check out her song 'Ain't no Little Girl' - live at the Bluegrass Underground. - brilliant.
This is one of my fave top 10 covers.
I love everything about this.
That was her dad on the steel guitar. Her normal wheelhouse is bluegrass/country. She's got a dozen albums under her belt and is one of Australia's most popular country artists.
And she's the youngest ever inductee into the ARIA Hall of Fame. Her being one of the most popular country singer, she's the only Aussie country music singer i know. Do they still have the Tamworth Country Music Festival or did that get taken away from Tamworth up to the Goldy?
Tamworth is definitely still going strong... More than 50 years now.
Eminem's rap approach is more reactive, while Kasey's version is more emotive. This is a country rock ballad.

She is legendary within the Australia recording industry. Hell, the list of her awards and accolades has its own Wikipedia page!

Souls escaping through this hole that' is gaping . Wow Kasey went right through there.
So cool that you picked up on the western sound of the guitar!

The guy on guitar and harmonies is her long term guitarist Brandon Dodd.

The gentleman on the slide guitar is Kasey's father Bill.
Thanks for that reaction! I think i might have watched about 200 of it and i am always in tears at the end. Finally someone mentions that INCREDIBLE guitar (sound) coming in at 5:56! is that a gretsch guitar?
I think the word you were looking for is Mesmerized.
I thoroughly enjoyed your perception! I've watched this video on different channels, and your reaction was refreshing!
One single word sums this up. Extraordinary. Love what Kasey and her ‘family’ have done with this. Covid wasn’t all bad hey.
Em does a fairly good job of covering Kasey's song!!!
One great artists interpretation of another great artists work 🇦🇺
Enjoyed your reaction to this amazing cover! What a great interpretation of an Eminem classic!
Your reaction to this brilliant cover is simply gorgeous 😍🥰

One of the best reviews of this song I’ve seen… your emotions paralleled the song beautifully….
So happy that you picked up on the amazing guitar tone as the second verse comes in. Not many do
Think yours is my favourite reaction to this version. I know what you mean about the guitar, can almost hear the spurs jingling
Oh my goodness, thank you!!
9.9K views and only 692 likes???? WTF is wrong with you people??? This is f'ing awesome!!
Awe thank you!!! ☺️
This will blow your socks off.
Brings tears Every.single.time. Genius! Rumor has it that Eminem saw it and gave her the right to take profit from her version through Spotify.
Em doesn’t own the publishing rights to this song.
A lovely voice and interpretation
Kasey Chambers has always been brilliant it just took an Eminem cover to break her to the wider world. However she did have one song, The Capitan, featured on the Sopranos. The woman is incredible as is her family and band who back her. Tighter than a drum and harder hitting than Mike Tyson (a fairly dated reference I will admit😂). Kasey is an Australian treasure!
Loved your reaction. New sub. Keep crushing it.
Thank you!!
When the guitar comes in it reminds me of "My baby shot me down" by Nancy Sinatra
Great reaction 🇦🇺
Em heard this and liked it so much he released claim for her to put this on her Spotify.
That’s awesome!
Em doesn’t own the publishing rights to this song.

Ginx!!!!! What's up beautiful? I'm happy you did this. 😊
The guitar intro riff is the same as eagles song 'desparado' so good
Anit No Little Girl !!
Sorry to partly burst your bubble, but the audience was informed the song was being recorded and asked to keep the noise to a minimum. But, yes, wonderful musician doing a wonderful cover of a wonderful song.

They had NO IDEA what was going to happen…………just absolutely amazing!! This is my ANTHEM, once again!! 😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I've been in the audience for this one multiple times now... It's damn near silent every single time.
Kasey is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Australian music scene.

seems like you were blown away.....................not as much as I was lol
Every time I hear that last 20 seconds I see Janis Joplin...
❤
guy on the left is steel gitar
More of a tribute than a cover? And she must have felt very nervous etc, same as Enimen did in the original, to stand there and do this? I mean, if you're gonna try a cover of Enimen, especially this song, you better be damn sure it's f'ing good or you're gonna be crucified?
watch some more aussie music. react to cold chisel, bow river, khe sanh, when the war is over. for starters . then watch georgia by cold chisel with ian moss on guitar. thank me later.
eminem loses, its hers now
Silence in the crowd.
We don’t know the original song here in Australia 🇦🇺
Also you need to listen closely to her as you work out what it is.
A couple of folk picked up what the song was with the first few lyrics but it would be new to majority. Especially in this form.
Get stuffed! We DO know the song here in Australia are you like, 12 years old? SMFH. The crowd was asked to be quiet as it was being recorded.
Keyboard player is going off
What you get when you get a country band to do a rock style cover of a rap song
Too many stops
Thank you for the feedback…and the wonderful thing about content…is you can choose not to watch it😉
Yeah. I hate it when reactors, you know, react 🙄
@@rodthebodfromcanada. The react can be way too long..
Best reaction I have seen ❤👍 I think you are # 30 or so ………glad I found your channel!🎉
Yeah you lost me I then 1st cut off
lol, I am definitely not for everyone
