Riki doesn’t get enough credit even in Australia,but a lot of Aussies don’t get a fair go.🇦🇺🌹

[@mssuziquzi]

We just got tooo much talent😊

[@jenniferharrison8915]

Yes unfortunately, she didn't have the little, cute, feminine, blonde look! 😠

[@Timtams61]

Same thing happened to John Farnham for a long time..

[@phildupuis1084]

That girl doesn't just have a great voice, she has soul

[@audi3318]

It kills me that ricki lee is not a world wide smash. She’s so so talented and such a beautiful person. I met her once on a flight and she rocks my world!!

[@elizabethscott7660]

Ricki-Lee was always great, but she matured into a phenomenal vocalist. So pleased she was recommended.

[@sibertiger1970]

I know you're a John Farnham fan & I just wanted to update you on his health. He released a statement today, 1 year since his marathon surgery, that he is cancer free and thanked everyone for the love & support. Gaynor Wheatley added that he has been singing around his home

[@1heathers]

Watch ricki lee singing your you’re the voice, best version i’ve ever heard

[@BrookeCurline]

An exceptional talent ! I got chills the first time I heard it on the radio all those years ago. She should be a worldwide smash...can't believe she isn't !

[@lynndally9160]

Ricki-Lee, yet another underrated singer. Love her voice ❤️. Karise Eden is another amazing Aussie voice, you should check out her version of it's a man's world (The Voice audition) is sooo good

[@wademitchell6335]

Oh, oh, oh!!! I love this girls voice. She is incredible Charlie!!! 😮 Who is she??? That cool break in her voice is stunning!!! OMG!!! Stunning!!!

[@julzhunt7790]

Rikki Lee Coulter

[@karenhp2922]

🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺💜

[@melanieslack8645]

Ricki Lee was on Australian Idol in 2004 but didn’t win. She now hosts Australia’s Got Talent and she’s very tall.

[@llvll_KEV_llvll]

Great request Steven!!! Great Voice!! Great Artist! Great Track! Great Reaction!!!! Thank You so Much ✌✌✌ 🇦🇺

[@haraiclark]

I love this girl and her music so much

[@kennethdodemaide8678]

Another brilliant Aussie singer. Love her. She is well known for her work on television in Australia as a host too.

[@sibertiger1970]

Rikki has an amazing voice and very under-rated

[@jawalkerden]

Yep Ricki Lee is a an out and out Superstar love her!

[@immersedinbooks]

Absolutely love your reaction to Ricki-Lee! She is phenomenal 😍

[@ozgal6929]

Goosebumps on goosebumps when Ricky hits that chorus. ❤

[@jenniferharrison8915]

This is really a great video, the atmosphere, setting, casualwear, fantastic! Ricki has been through a lot of ups and downs, and is a real survivor, this is an honest performance! 👍

[@Reneesillycar74]

This is my fave song for Ricki-Lee. I have an eclectic taste in music & she’s not usually in my lane but this one is awesome & showcases her voice & skills beautifully ✌🏼

[@JenDogan]

Love love love this song! Love from Australia 😊

[@MrWarlock1968]

Hard to believe Ricki was voted off Australian Idol in 6th position. Guy Sebastian ended up winning with Shannon Noel coming runner up

[@KellboRose]

Ricki Lee was an Australian idol contestant. She didn't win but was always great. She had a really powerful voice. She ended up being a host on later aus idol series and interviewing new contestants. I think she might have been on idol the same year as Guy Sebastian.

[@sandyproctor4901]

Casey Donovan won that year. Ricki came like 7th or something and it was absolute bs

[@KellboRose]

@@sandyproctor4901 thanks for the correction. It's been a long time so I misremembered :)

[@nikolacsicsova2583]

Ricki ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤czech republic

[@annepavlidis7620]

Another totally underrated Aussie singer. She was on Australian Idol and unless you won you really went into oblivion for a while. She is working on radio as an announcer. That voice should be heard around the World as a singer. Not a radio jock.

[@will7375]

Riki Lee is a kiwi singer, lives in Aussie. She's sung with Stan Walker.

[@kathyreid4735]

I love love love Ricki-Lee's voice, plus she comes across as really down to earth. Watch her rap battle for a good laugh.

[@sandyproctor4901]

Another great new Ricki-Lee song is “On my own” or watch some of her A Star Is Born covers. She is fantastic live.

[@NorthernSimmer__]

yes I love on my own it's my favourite of hers

[@gregoryTredwell]

I will look into her more, thanks.

[@shanedorival3177]

I love Ricki Lee and she is very deserving of the praise and adulation. I do ask that you shine a light on Vanessa Amorosi and the songs she has written etc… recent stuff like, Recorded in isolation, Mohammed, My problem is you. Or songs performed at the Sydney 2000 Olympics like Hero’s or Absolutely Everyone. Or other covers like Janis Joplin, piece of my heart. This girl can sing the phone book and make it sound awesome.

[@karenhp2922]

My favourite Ricki Lee video

[@brigittekenny6599]

You need to hear her music that has just been released it is great.

[@Beckaboo3397]

A lot of (in my opinion) better singers get eliminated early in things like Australian idol and The Voice because they don’t have main stream voices. Which from a immediate stand out successful point I can understand. But so many that (in my opinion again) have more longevity and are the creatives get cut because the voters/judges don’t want to play the long game and they want what is popular in that moment. You have exceptions of course that are both popular in the moment and also have longevity like Guy Sebastian. But treasures like Ricki Lee are lost. Thank you so much for your reaction loved it!! 💛✨

[@patrickmacdonald5539]

After I got to the filming rounds of Australian Idol, I was unfortunate enough to have to go directly after her and heard her through the door while I waited to go next... I'd competed against her a few times and had no chance haha but personally she is a lovely girl. I was just like... OMFG don't put Ricki-Lee directly before me for filming rounds hahaha. She's just too good and is a very, very nice girl.

[@natalienorton7783]

Great review! She’s a presenter for Australia Idol 2024 and she sings for the judges and audience one of new songs, it’s great

[@56music64]

Self taught, lass from Gold Coast, Queensland

[@davidcruse6589]

She won the voice and think been adjudge as well

[@markboorman9583]

No and no 😏

[@bernicequanchi8134]

❤❤u need to go down the aussie divas rabbit hole🎉🎉

[@carolynh8866]

Haven't really listened Ricky Lee for a long time. She's certainly matured until a great singer. So glad you have checked her out cos you have sparked my i twrest in her again

[@sabinewilliams270]

One of my faves of ricki

[@bwalker464]

She reminds me of a lower octave Jessie j

[@NorthernSimmer__]

What i love about Ricki is that she is self taught she never got singing lessons or anything that's something that inspires me about her! Love her Fear & freedom album aswell! On my own is also my favourite song of hers by far! You might recognise her voice before from the sex and the city 2 song Cant touch it , shes also one of those ppl i recognised and heard of before without knowing her name

[@BRONWENYOUNG-WHITFORDE-cb8jc]

If she reminds you of someone it's probably because she looks like the Princess of Wales to me

[@geemac44]

I couldn't agree more! This song is amazing. Riki Lee is an amazing artist, who like numerous Aussies with talent, they are somehow held back from local and global recognition of their musical prowess by some negative and unexplainable source until one day the bubble bursts and suddenly the world wants to know who is John Farnham, Jimmy Barnes, Vanessa Amorosi, Cold Chisel, Guy Sebastian, Delta Goodrem & Gurrumul singing ‘Bayini’ (a song of Indigenous beauty) and many, many more? Thanks to Steven for requesting this powerhouse song by Riki Lee and big shout-out to you Charlie for acknowledging not only the aforementioned Aussie talent but those yet to be heard via your amazing and supportive Charlie Smith Channel.🙏🇦🇺👍 Thanks Charlie👏👏👏Jimmy Barnes will confirm there's ‘No Second Prize’ when you play and comment on Aussie talent like the massive crowd singing with ACDC at River Plate Stadium in 2009, and the sad death of Michael Hutchence when INXS were becoming a global phenomenon😢

[@grumpyrhonda6709]

Also try another singer named Thelma Plum - the song is Brown Snake.

[@susanstavrou4232]

She went quiet, should of won idol, she's just had a baby❤❤❤❤❤

[@bex6358]

You shoukd check out the veronicas ruin me live ob the rooftop performance 🐨❤

[@jenniferharrison8915]

That is their best and amazing, deep, real! Yes! 👍

[@cloudydaez]

She’s kiwi…born in New Zealand

[@user-yy4qu9uq8r]

She also had a cold while recording this video hence the voice break

[@leighrussell4625]

Hi Charlie, Greetings from Sydney Australia can Please Please react to John Farnhams song Rolling Home its such a beautiful song. ThankU

[@shenoashbay1361]

Sadly she's very under rated over here, I don't understand because she's very talented . I think sometimes it comes down to management.

[@carokat1111]

Ricki Lee has never seemed to live up to her potential. I don't know why.

[@ronnasampson7208]

Reminds me of Tori Kelly

[@arconeagain]

It literally upset my elderly, deaf cat. So it's a no from me
