​@@nadinesander5796 welcome to the rabbit hole.

[@kingcountrykiwi7429]

Original singer of “don’t dream it’s over” is from New Zealand. Stan is Maori descent from New Zealand. Māori is one of the official languages of New Zealand so he’s combined it all. There is a movement to promote and showcase Maori language with Songs within New Zealand.

[@murf1201]

respect from ozzy

[@forevalearning]

Stan won Australian Idol but he is Maori. He won Australian Idol because his voice is pure gold. The second verse was sung in the Maori language and it is a translation of the english verse and hook he sings. Stan left Australia in search of his Maori roots. He is one of Australia and New Zealand's top vocalist. His voice did to you Asia what your voice does to others. Great reaction Asia and BJ and I am so glad you got to hear Casual T, Donna Bannister and my native language in song ❤ 🥰

[@djkchur]

Stan's cover of Kanye's "Ultra Light Beam" is one of the best male vocal performances you could ever find

[@joyperich7342]

You forgot Māori are native to New Zealand. And he's been back home here in New Zealand after leaving Australia. Please watch the original video with Stan and the Levites it totally gives it justice. Than watching words. Plus the original song sung by Crowed House who are New Zealanders. Stan added his flavour. Māori flavour 😉

Deep aroha for this woman and her memories. Nga mihi from another daughter in Aotearoa, NZ.

[@kennethdodemaide8678]

Stan is a fantastic singer. I would love to hear him and Guy Sebastian sing together. That would be the ultimate.

[@bernadettec2568]

That would sound AMAZING

[@murf1201]

can you imagine those two together.... damn. they may have, but im not sure

[@jennysmith38]

Stan and Jessica Mauboy did a song together many years ago, and they sounded great together, I think it was called Galaxy, and yes, I think Stan and Guy would sound great together too

[@redeemedstone]

I remember when Beyoncé rated him when he opened for her in NZ. She loved his voice too. But Stan’s voice is more than that. He’s anointed to sing.

[@anitasmith7764]

You guys should really watch the video to this of them in the studio, even if it’s in your own time! It’s amazing watching them singing it!!

[@imuapioneer]

Was about to suggest that too. Should see them recording it for sure!❤❤🇳🇿🇳🇿

[@spencerbellas2611]

I agree. You have to watch the video of them recording this.

[@Clipper_Dames]

Was about to suggest that too lol, anyone who has watched that video knows that if you're gonna react to this song you gotta watch that vid haha

[@anitasmith7764]

There’s just something about watching him sing that makes something amazing, even more impressive! (Not just bc he’s F-I-N-E!) Lolll! But For real, watching what he puts into each verse and his body language is something special. Not to mention he has a PHENOMENAL group of musicians/singers to work with! Just blows my mind!

[@sarahserra1630]

Please review his version of ultralight beam but the video of them in the studio, it will blow your mind. Stan Walker

[@gerardroll6468]

Asia gets “hit in her feelings” ♥️🥺♥️. Damn… I just wanted to reach through my screen & give her a huge hug 🤗 🤗🤗. Asia… STAY STRONG DEAR GIRL ♥️💪♥️

[@iSpyAtoZ]

Im a Kiwi and I keep coming back to your appreciation of Stan Walker. Your story hit. So deep, sweet and moving. And I love your banter 😂

[@scottdebruyn7038]

Neil Finn, front man for 'Crowded House' wrote and composed this song in 1986. The Crowded House version was 'The Version', but I liked this version too. If you haven't reacted to it there, you should! It's one of my favorite songs (can't help but sing along every time)! 🥰😔

[@hmmmyeahnahdoh823]

Stan is an exceptional singer, without question one of our premier vocalists in NZ. Hope you explore more of Stan's music, an obvious start would be a Kanye West cover, "Ultralight Beam". When music is sung in our native language "Maori", it brings a richer, deeper meaning to the "Wairua" (Soul). As Asia said, you may not understand the language, it doesn't matter as long as you feel the message behind it, In the words of BJ "Ataahua" (Beautiful) reaction. I'm curious, Do you watch the Live, Studio or Official Versions after your reactions?

[@linscott4470]

Stan Walker - Ultra Light Beam & also Amazing Grace.. you have to listen 💕

[@raymantis682]

welcome to Stan Walker please do more from him. he is amazing...thanx

[@andreamatheson5760]

Ultralight Beam by Stan Walker is beyond incredible. It's a Kanye cover but imo blows the original out of the water. I would highly recommend reviewing it. He just oozes talent, as do the backing vocalists. It's so beautiful. Your reaction was very moving ❤️. Stan is a very humble young man. I would love to see more reactions to him 😊

[@joesetefano3550]

Favorite video of all time to react to fam bam is Amazing grace and ultra light beam!...tears of beauty 😍

[@myssee]

Song by Crowded house original nz band. This cover by Stan Walker has the same reaction by a lot of people. So your reaction is beautiful💛❤️

[@roderickhewitson762]

love this guy we've missed a bit of his talent he had to stop performing for a bit to fight cancer amazing voice one of Australia's best finds on Australian idol 😍 guy sebastian is another awesome artist found on idol if you haven't taken a look at his music it's well worth checking out

[@richytaualupe6114]

Need to listen to Stan Walker amazing grace and ultralight beam. You will be blown away. This man has a voice that was gifted from God.

[@gems3604]

First time hearing Maori language to my very favorite song. Beautiful. Proof that the song by Crowded House is just perfect.

[@xHopshotx]

If you liked this you need to hear Stan Walker sing Amazing Grace.

[@alc1461]

You would revel in the purity, clarity and harmony of Stan Walker and the Levites' "Amazing Grace."

[@Jspdreaming]

And this was recorded live! Stan and the Levites are amazing 🔥

[@palolou.9953]

Toodles to Stan and the Levite’s for their rendition of this old song remade. Beautiful and heart warming

[@MightyMouse350]

Original by Crowed House. very famous New Zealand band but at end of career now, famous in Aussie, UK, all over, plus US - Miley & Ariana did a cover of this song. Stan sings pop, reggae, Amazing Grace, worship songs, Maori songs - his waiata song is beautiful. PLUS if you haven't heard it already, check out his phenomenal rendition of ULTRALIGHT BEAM by Kanye. ‼️ wow

[@joezapr0]

Ride the wave. Beautiful vibes get u in your feelings. Thats how powerful music can be . Realness

He kakano ahau....he sings in both languages he literally tells you in English what he sings in Moari it's Beautiful.

[@julee5939]

Crowded House is an amazing band, as a temperamental 80s teenager this was on repeat, helped me navigate high school, then this version by our brilliant Stan carried me through my Dads departure from us, I heard every word you said, I wouldn't take any of that month away, also wished I had more time with my Daddy. "Cancer sucks!" Xx sending a hug from Sydney, Australia ❤️👋

[@Teinej1234]

You 2 should check out Stan Walker singing How Great Thou Art with a few other artists. It's amazing and gives me chills everytime I hear it. They start off singing in Maori & then in english.

This is nothing but the shadow of the original song.

[@dawngubb1255]

Cover of another NZ band, beautifully done. His history of contracting a genetic form of cancer while taking past family members, Stan had his stomach removed. All , he put into his own documentary. Outstanding kiwi. Arohanui ( much love ) from us Kiwis. Xx

He is literally repeating the verse and chorus in Te Reo Maori. Our native tongue is an official language of New Zealand (Aotearoa) We are so proud of it. Song is a cover of Crowded House, who in their own right are fabulous musicians too. Stans version of Kanye Wests Ultralight beam is life😍

@@TheRetroManRandySavage … I can’t argue there as I’ve been a Crowded House fan for many years & was fortunate enough to see their final live performance on the steps of the famous Sydney Opera House which was awesome. The added bonus was I didn’t have to travel far as I only lived about 20 minutes’ drive away from the venue. It was definitely one of the greatest shows I’ve ever seen.

Woah snap, Stan has always been crazy good, but the 2 guys in the Levites are actually incredible singers as well. I went to school with the clean haircut one and my older brothers are close friends w the one wearing the cap. Believe me when I tell you that they both have incredible singing voices, especially the one w the haircut. A few years back, They had a university group that wrote and performed a stage play called “Ruth” after the bible story, and the cast included all 3 singers of the Levites. They had people crying because of how beautiful their singing was 😩 I’m glad they’re getting abit of Global recognition now
