Dude, as an aussie who loves EM and Kasey, she did fucking brain melting heart crushing rendtion; show your wife stat. This is 100% a homage by KC to EM, but is a fucking bomb. I love both, EM hits me one way, KC hits me another. But both hit hard., How fuckin cool is that.

The whole world needs to hear it. 2) Please keep this to yourself. She's our best kept secret. She's ours. She's an Aussie. We ain't sharing her.

The music industry treated kassey like shit .kassey is just more than a amazing singer , she is much much more than we will ever know .

[@heisdeadjim]

I get this feeling the music industry tried to paclage Kasey in a way she didnt want.

[@ticktock479]

All you have to do is look at her Tour dates. She’s playing Lightning Ridge mate. A life on the road playing a lot of small country towns where the profit margin is not going to be that big. She travels, writes and plays because she loves doing it and with the family is top shelf. FYI it’s available on Spotify which means Eminem has heard it and given permission for it to go up. Great lyrics, great cover. It’s a new beast from the original and it’s awesome to see the original creator acknowledge that.

[@Patrech-u9w]

A well-written song will transcend genre - the writing stands on its own, regardless of how its presented.

[@patronspatron7681]

I really appreciate that you spend the time to share Kasey's bio and journey. It provides another dimension to the listening experience. Thank you.

[@chaoticoldbore]

"...and I was playing in the the beginning. And the mood all changed" - The mood does change and she brings the anger and pain. The way the first 2 verses leads to that line it what helps set it up. She sang this like she's lived it, which in some ways she probably has. Dad Bill is on the slide guitar. Em's writing is on full display here, you can NOT do something like this to a song if if it's not well written, and for her to sing using close to the original cadence sets it off nicely. Something I didn't mention in my pitch but will mention here... 90% of reactions I've seen of this the reactor claps their hands at some stage during it. You didn't let me down 😂. To me this sits up there with the greatest covers where someone has made a song their own like Johnny Cash and Hurt.

[@WolfKain]

With a performance like that you can't help but to clap 👏 💯✊🤘

[@netmeg]

Hey CB. I knew I'd run into you here again.

[@iancremmins4727]

[@mals4125]

Cash's 'Hurt' was exactly what I thought of when I first heard this. And the hundred times I've heard this since - it has never let me down.

[@julzhunt7790]

@@WolfKain if you want to see an Aussie artist who can sing just about any genre of music and who ALWAYS gets you right in the ❤️ and connect emotionally look up John Farnham. Absolute GOAT. Always live versions.

[@aussiegypsywarrior]

Oh shit is right. I was lucky to have seen her do this live in April at Bluesfest in Melbourne, Australia. OH MY GOD. Tears were streaming down my face. You could have heard a pin drop. The crowd was mesmerised. Amazing.

[@peteo3436]

I was there. It was earth shattering.

[@freebirds67]

Wow so lucky

[@toddgoodwin4203]

You will never hear a song totally pulled apart and rearranged as well as this is. She exposes Eminem’s amazing lyrical ability in a totally different light. You’d be forgiven for thinking she wrote this for him from a mother’s perspective. Absolutely astounding cover

[@daneelolivaw1976]

Wow, That was Super Intense!!!!

[@RaffaPed]

I love how they played the distorted (chewed up) guitar over the line 'I've been chewed up and spat out and booed off stage"

[@stephanielane1821]

A different kasey Chamber's song I love is "Ain't no little girl" not the same as this one, yet gritty, liking this one also.

[@Reneesillycar74]

I’ve always thought the beginning is that tired, haunted sadness that trauma does to you & then you get tired of being sad. Then the angst & anger follows in all it’s fury. It’s an amazing interpretation of Em’s brilliant writing, a different expression of those emotions. Bloody epic! ✌🏼

[@kayelle8005]

Exactly. When you know, you know.

[@julesscarborough2619]

Also, there’s the innocent simplicity of the beginning that the vocals match, building with intensity and grit and pain as the story grows more complex. Genius

I got legit chills when you mentioned Janis Joplin because that's what I thought during the 2nd half! Janis is hands down 👇 my favorite female vocalist. This woman is amazing.

[@denalinde]

She was one of the extremely few singers that made my mom cry every single time she would hear her. She regrets never going to see her live when she had the chance. I’ve always loved her too, but I don’t think I had the life maturity to really get her until I was well into adulthood. 💜 I always felt her emotions but the lyrical understanding came later.

[@tomperkins4620]

I think Kasey relates to this song so much and that’s why it got really personal an emotional. Just outstanding and moving.

[@yakidin63]

It’s a special YT moment. They don’t come along often. Those “Ghost Love Score” moments that catch you off guard. She’s normally country. My wife has all her albums. I’m not into it. However she hit this out of the park and the artistry of how it’s performed and sung is just magic. Like someone pointed out to actually sing a rap spoken lyric takes a lot of breath technique. It’s also a measure of a reaction skill to be on top of your game and spot the greatness. Some have failed the test. You are on point.👌

[@metricstormtrooper]

[@ClodODirt]

Thank you for that... 66 years old, loved the original, and discovered this cover less than 72 hours ago. Already watched well over 100 reaction videos of it (I need a life)... I ugly-cried during most of them, and have been dumbfounded that not one of the reactors was brought to tears... until you finally shed some tears over it... I feel better now :o)

[@eclecticapoetica]

I’ve watched every reaction to this so far - and yours was best. Thankyou. Kasey’s been on my radar since 1994 when she was just a teenager I think, playing with The Dead Ringers. I was just blown away by her intensity and the way she commits to every syllable of a lyric, and that voice that can go from honeyed sweetness through to razor blade sharp, cuts to the soul. She is amazingly good, I just love her.

[@robandnikki1]

This is your classic Eminem head banging banjo song that starts with Jewel and ends with Janis Joplin. Classic! His song takes you from where you are and pumps you up. Her version brings you down into deep melancholy and leaves you there to ferment. Then after you felt the sad desperation, it’s clarity describing one chance to exit that melancholy existence.

[@WolfKain]

Great so you're just gonna sum up in one sentence what it took me 15 minutes to explain lol 🤣✊🤘

So good the world is FINALLY getting to hear our princess Kasey after all these years thanks to everyone being curious how any female could ever do justice to covering Eminem, let alone a supposed Country artist... and I say supposed, as I am a full on Slayer/Pantera/Jinjer fan who got dragged kicking and screaming to a Kasey Chambers gig back in 2003 and have never headbanged as much at a show as that gig! We have adored her in Oz for the last 25yrs despite every major record label and radio station completely ignoring her, despite constant sell out concerts for decades in every Aussie city and county town... she is the people's princess, and we protect our Kasey fiercely and love her unconditionally, just as we ALWAYS have...glad you liked it man, def check her original songwriting for an even bigger surprise!

[@markflint2629]

So proud of this Australian talented women, she kicks arse

[@mals4125]

So glad you've discovered this song - just out of this world indeed. Kasey is a superstar with a massive back catalogue. 'Ain't no little girl' live at the Bluegrass caverns is well worth the view - she always leaves it all on stage.

You know you made a immortal song that will echo through history. When covers like this is build on it. Deconstruction music this way for me shows what songs will stand the test of time. There are many great songs. But sometimes it takes the most magical cover of a great song, to prove just how brilliant it really is, and make it last forever.

[@davidhandson2429]

G'day mate. Kasey is incredible in this song. I have a great Australian band that I believe you will enjoy hearing. The band is called Cold Chisel the song is Wild Thing, live the last stand. The lead singer Jimmy Barnes has an incredible and unique voice.

[@carolynh8866]

I second that ...Cold Chisel goes even harder and better than other Aussie Rock bands like ACDC or INXS

Kasey didn't just 'sing' this she 'LIVED' it. Started by just softly relating that life....then the emotion comes through and finally the ANGER! ...when that happened I had my hand on my heart and tears in my eyes. Just Brilliant!!!!

I find it difficult to believe someone didn’t get the early part that just kept building from the sad and haunting to the next and then blowing your mind. Just loving the end means you miss the reasoning behind her cover.

It doesn't feel like just another above average cover. It feels like a genuine collaboration between two artists (lyrics, arrangement and performance) that just so happened to occur decades apart. It's too good to be a cover. Tears.

[@zwastiunburzy3688]

I can't believe I'm hearing this song for the first time a whole year after Kasey slayed it at this concert. Mr. Mathers must be feeling like Paul Simon did after hearing David Draimans version of "Sound of Silence"....but more so. I'm not a country kind of person, but I love talent when I hear it. That's why I like and respect artists like Johnny Cash, Willy Nelson and others that are placed in the huge pigeon hole of "country". I love this, from Kasey's delivery, to the insane "in the zone" pocket the band's in. They nailed it! Oh yeah. That's Kasey's Dad Bill on slide. 🇭🇲👍

Great intro and reaction! I never listened to Eminem until I heard Kasey's cover of Lose Yourself. Kasey's performance was phenomenal.

[@brettbridger362]

BTW, yes, Aussie pronunciation can be a bit of a trap, especially since we don't always agree on what it should be. The Nullarbor Plain is an almost featurless, flat area on the southern edge of Australia (think 1,200 km of almost dessert with a real desert to the north and the ocean to the south) and is usually pronounced 'null-a-bore'. As is normal in Aus, no gaps or breaths, pronounce as a single syllable.

Hearing her do it I have to think Dylan would be proud of these lyrics.

[@mssuziquzi]

I really don't like rap and I don't much like country, but I loved this. First time I've listened to Eminem lyrics. Now I'll have to check him out too! Kasey knocked this out of the ballpark.
