IS HE EVEN REAL? | FIRST TIME REACTION to Matt Corby's Mesmerizing Rendition of 'Brother'

[@BobarissGish]

It doesn't hurt that he is a good looking guy as well as being incredibly talented.

[@georgeibrahim7945]

Always love it when someone reacts to Matt for the first time

[@JkBee]

I‘ve seen him live 6 times…legend

[@SundaeSander]

This is my life goal

[@Flashblackyc4]

First time reactions to Matt never get old. Awesome reaction. My favourite song of his is Song for an Interlude. Live on the Resolution tour is the best version.

[@Mal-r5q]

another great Aussie Artist

[@thirtyacres7504]

One of the most underrated artists.

[@johnarndt1501]

His use of dynamics is amazing.

[@JohnSmith-sj2dk]

That was a great review of a great vocalist , and a great song.

[@lythsian]

Your rendition at 3:06 is the best replication I've heard anyone ever attempt and yet there's still this polish to your voice, suggesting years of formal practice. Matt's sound, on the other hand, is something wholely unique. I sense a draw to a uniquely Australian sound in the Cooee, something most Australians practice when young but is predominantly a sound from the outback.

[@ashrickard721]

Apart from going opera, he’s hit every emotion . So proud to be Aussie 🇦🇺 absolute weapon on the booth 🫶🏻 put everything into it and some

[@oliviaruka1741]

One of my favorite artists... 🤩😍🤩 unbelievable talent 😍

[@lexisaucedo]

Oh for sure! I've never heard anyone sing like him before. Phenomenal!

[@justlinsu]

This is Matt Corby leaving it all on the floor. So emotional...Trying to tell the story quietly and then the emotion takes over. Based on a true episode between his best friend and a girl. Love you reaction Lexi. Liked and Subbed. Hi from Australia. Would love to see you do a reaction to another Aussie legend Guy Sebastian.

[@phoenix1473]

Seen him live 3 times. Heart melted 100 times. Special boy. And apart from his insanely good voice, crisp guitar skills..I will admit..those eyes are very dreamboaty 😁✌🏼❤️

[@nikkil2580]

So excited for you that you've finally discovered Matt. He is a musical genius. Writes everything, plays a bazillion instruments and everytbing he does is superb. Please check out more of his live stuff. Triple J's Like a Version 'Chains' is a godd next one ❤

[@graenicholls4657]

I love contrast in vocals. it has such an almost instinctual beauty and meaning to any song. Light and dark, playing out in such a way. this guy gets it.

[@candydandy2694]

I always love when I find yet another reactor who has just found Matt! Especially if that reactor actually understands how the human singing voice works, and who also has a stunning singing voice them (her) self! I have subscribed! Looking forward to seeing more reactions to Matt and many other incredible Aussie singers.

[@AndyFNQ84]

Glad you loved it. If you love this sort of thing try the Teskey Brothers "Rain" or Cold Chisel "when the war is over (ringside 2003)". Thanks for reacting

[@clintfrancispodcast]

Hi Lexi. I am glad you discovered Matt. He is a hidden gem. If you are interested in more great Australian musicians, The Teskey Brothers are amazing. I would suggest "Rain" and "Hold Me" (Live at the Forum) to start off.

[@Laurie473]

Down the Matt Corby rabbit hole we go Lexi !! - Enjoy the ride, you've just scratched his surface..... truly :💯💥

[@lindylufromoz5111]

If you loved that, listen to him singing 'Trick of the Light' live on the Resolution tour. Magic!

[@Jornet9027]

Great reaction! Also interesting view on his “scream” at the end. You are definitely going to love Tina Arena - Chains (Matt Corby's Like A Version) triple j's. Greetings from Sweden

[@willsutherland7804]

Definitely check out Miracle Love, Matt Corby, who show cases different vocal techniques again!

[@AnotherFacelessDigitalNoOne]

Big win hearing this ❤❤❤

[@stevewilliams430]

Amazing artist great reaction!

[@danielbenson6407]

This reaction was so good! I love when people find Corby for the first time. Please, please do his cover of "chains" might be his best

[@nataliephillips9494]

he is amazing next pls try made of stone, trick of the light, miracle love, lonely boy all by Matt ❤

[@nataliephillips9494]

fore sure

[@ssvr3dl1n38]

Fantastic, thanks Lexi. Agree with previous comments for your next Matt Corby experience - Song For Interlude (live from the Resolution Tour). This one goes further into his musical talents. If you do Miracle Love, I'd recommend the version live in the Manchester Cathedral.

[@graceweber4158]

Next please do his performance of For Real by karma studios!! It's more recent so you can hear how he's grown into his voice so much. He's absolutely amazing

[@OfficiallyMaidenless]

I love how you can still see the same kid that auditioned for Australian Idol. The same kid who said "I just can't wait to wake up and think who am I singing for today?"

[@shaunholloway-z4q]

Triple J's like a version where the artist plays 1 of theirs and a cover is amazing. Matt does an amazing cover of Chains by Tina Arena.Check that out please

[@mustang9549]

I stumbled upon Matt Corby when he did a cover of a Christian song that I can’t currently recall with Hillsong ages ago. I want to say something like 12 years ago. He’s probably one of the best live performers of our time. Don’t really understand why he’s not more mainstream but I kinda like it that way. He’s like a hidden gemx100!!

[@mustang9549]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/oafKhaKVaZlmnMksi=WRBVBuyUqLoKroQd…..correction 14 years ago and it wasn’t even that grand or special but for whatever reason when he sang his part, I was hooked. I think it took another 3-4 years for him finally out of live performances and albums.

[@storytimewithyaz]

Yo, the first song I ever heard him sing live was How Great Is Our God. I don’t think I’d heard the song y’all just shared, but gosh. I’ve been praying for him since Brother came out. As someone who ran relatively closely in his circles, he took the blame for someone else & said Brother was about his mistake when it was someone else’s that he respected & didn’t want to spread gossip. If you can tell the difference between someone coming from a place of hurt (this) & someone coming from a place of shame (from which he would probably cry) it’s pretty clear. He never wanted to share what it was about either, triple J did a competition to find out. Made me sick TBH. Alas, I believe he is genuinely finding his feet with his faith again after numbing himself for years & finally getting to a breaking point which has given us his last 2 albums that are far more aligned to the worldview of his youth. I can’t believe this was 2011.

[@mustang9549]

@@storytimewithyaz That’s crazy but I can believe that. So much goes on behind the scenes of these big name churches like Hillsong. Everybody wanting to move up the ladder and get the big stage so taking said blame would instantly cause him to be outcasted. All we can do is pray for him and hopefully he will find his way back.

[@storytimewithyaz]

@@mustang9549 exactly right! Have if you listen to some of his newer stuff like For Real I think you’ll see the roots coming back in. He’s also been writing & collaborating with the boys from Hollow Coves who are Christian & looks so genuinely happy in the reels they’ve posted about their process. If he’s not there yet, he’s close & has a lot of people praying for him!

[@Ian-hg8gx]

great to see you reacting to so many great aussie voices like matt, john farnham and jimmy barnes, another brilliant aussie voice is renee geyer, try reacting to her rendition of love don't live here anymore, the version put up by james karaitiana is the best, enjoy

[@ianbarrett3962]

Matt’s cool check out “Chains “

[@natalieharris1696]

Strap yourself in everyone!

[@leemccurtayne9489]

I have only 5 words for you, Matt Corby, Paste Studios, "Monday"!

[@nataliephillips9494]

i think ud also like Matt singing Fire and Thunder such a good song the version of him live with just his guitar is awesome or My False live in Berlin, also Better then that live at the Fonda is mind blowing

[@dylanabbott9209]

Some Aussie and kiwi accents have a vocal fry. I have it and didn't even realise. 🤷

[@shaunholloway-z4q]

Listen to Matt sing Miracle Love. OMG

[@kcinsti]

I've watched a few reactions to this and I'll say two things: - you're the first reactor I've heard try to do the whoo-hoo bit and get it perfect 😊, and - What most don't mention is the ease at which Matt mixes growl and 'clean' in a single phrase

[@TheNotedHero]

"Trick of the Light (Live on The Resolution Tour)" is a fantastic song of his. But for another cut back version on the same "Like a Version" radio show as this vid, check out his cover of Tina Arena's "Chains".

[@VolkovAlexandernovskiOfficial]

As sad as this song is when you find the meaning behind it. The saddest thing about this song is Matt himself thinks this version is bad. It's the definitive version IMO. And I say that as someone who watches Matt form his chops performing at The Cove after Idol

[@izzybluffin820]

Check out Paul Kelly's cover of 'Anti Hero'.

[@danielwilcox8268]

Look at interlude

[@marionfraser570]

If you love this from Matt do yourself a favour and listen Trick of the light Live on the resolution tour AMAZING

[@leemccurtayne9489]

Do yourself a favour and only listen to his “Live Stuff” here on KZbin, so much better than his commercial offerings. The mans talent says everything you need to know😊, truely a ‘Reluctant Superstar”

[@flip8702]

🫶

[@56music64]

Story is: slept with his mate's girlfriend and felt very very bad, hence this song

[@iancremmins4727]

we all want a mate like that dont we

[@Mr_Stanley888]

Guitar out of tune hurts my brain

[@Wint3rWasteland]

If you want to hear the most jaw dropping female singer in the entire world, watch Delta Goodrem -Born To Try (Global Citizen Live). You will be in complete and utter disbelief. Also keep in mind, that performance took place AFTER she battled leukaemia and had to relearn how to sing.
