When you opened with I'm a sound guy etc... I was like so what... then you proceeded to give the most accurate breakdown of the performance, vocals, musicianship, mics, production. 100% on point. I've watched a bunch of reaction videos to this performance and yours is way ahead of everyone else. Every comment was bang on how I felt about this performance... ...following... liked and subscribed
Great point at the start! That’s why I don’t put it in my titles lol and also, being a fresh reaction, it’s always a crap shoot what I’m gonna talk about 😂😂 I’m glad you enjoyed my friend!! This was a great performance and a ton of fun to get in to. Until the next one 🙏
Reaction is truly subjective and your visual show of pleasure of ear and sight, is my favorite reaction to this song. Your identification of instruments, microphones and sound techniques, separates you from the masses. Thank you
Jesse! You've found us! Stan is phenomenal..as a singer and his soul. He really is a beautiful human! You would be a good fit in our kiwi culture..it's all about the vibe..love from New Zealand xx Awesome reaction! There are some stellar recommendations in the previous post.
Stan walker is amazing, I was in the film he done in my hometown Pukekohe called Mt Zion, I was in the pub scene 😂 and omg when he sang live I was so mesmerised that I almost forgot we were shooting 😂😂 I was just in awe when he started singing
Awesome reaction. It's interesting to hear the technical aspect of music and to know that there are many varied components to a song. You Sir, certainly know your stuff. Cheers 🍻
Thank you my friend 🙏🙏 I was a live mixing tech for a long long time so it’s nice to be able to revisit a lot of those memories and exercises. Thanks for the support 💛
I love your reaction(s) to vocal artists as it's done with such musical prowess; from the timbre of the voices to sound quality and equipment/instruments - you bring it! Stan has such a raspy, soulful grit; yet warm/heartfelt/hypnotic tone to his voice that one could just get fully immersed in his delivery - you're swept away to some celestial place! And having learned of his BACKSTORY more recently, I now understand why his delivery is soooo heartfelt!
Stan hits C5 note so easily (..."I'm just trying to keep my faith..."). Remember that Stan had a rare form of cancer and had to have his stomach removed - this is how powerful his voice is even without a stomach. Singing both the high range and very low range - watch him sing Tennessee Whiskey, It's A Man's World - the guy can sing the phone book. Also, Maori singers have a deep rich tonal sound. Polynesians do - Hawaiians also. Check out NZ artist Holly Smith and also Teeks. They are also NZ Maori. Glad you have discovered the amazing Stan Walker. His backup vocals are The Standard and his band are The Levites.
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!
I love that you found our Stan Walker. So proud of him and our New Zealand musicians. Hope you discover some more - there is a distinct NZ sound and many Polynesian harmonies are different to others and very special.
Oh, also ... Your knowledge with everything is crazy awesome and makes your videos so much better than regular people .. the best reactors to these are the ones with singers/music professionals ... So cool!
It’s good to see Stan Walker, he was in Aust Idol 13 yrs ago, never heard from him after that. Someone here commented that got sick& recovered now. I didnt recognise him straight away look different. I recalled he has a powerful vocal with the feel of gospel.. Jesse it good that you discover him .. he deliver his song from within (his soul)
Thanks for all the info ! Stan is From Nz and won Aus idol a number of years ago. Wonderful. Have you reacted to Guy Sebastian yet? He was the first Aus Idol winner. Similar vibes at times and writes a lot of his own songs. Wonderful too. ❤
Just found your channel from New Zealand, I already know everything you are saying but so good to hear it as a gear nut and see you so passionate about it. You need to do more L.A.B live in the studio. Just subscribed

So much more goes into music production than I could ever comprehend. The way you knew what was coming in terms of big runs etc, just by seeing the mics is mind blowing.
Wainui = why-noo-ee ❤️ you'll love his cover of Don't Dream It's Over, a Crowded House cover. It's phenomenal. Oh and also his original audition on Australian Idol from 2009. Beautiful!
What an amazing reaction. love Stan. He is a walking miracle. Had serious illness and had to have his stomach removed. Though his faith he has managed to live an amazing life. His voice is a gift. One of my fav right now is Amazing Grace....of course it's Stan's version and every time I watch it I feel like I've been blessed. Sending you a Merry Christmas from Australia
Great reaction and insight to the technical side of music. Definitely gotta check out Circle of Life, Amazing Grace and New Light for starters. New sub here.
