Kasey Chambers - Lose Yourself (Eminem Cover LIVE) HLS Reaction!

[@TheMarlsi]

Eminem has seen it and given her Spotify rights to it. Much respect to him for allowing her to make cash on her rendition.

[@kennethdodemaide8678]

There were three stages to her song 1. Her with just banjo 2. Brings in guitar and backup singer 3. Full on rock with the whole band. The emotion builds through each stage.

[@AnnQlder]

Now I know what I looked like when I heard kasey killing it 😂👏👏👏

[@DamienMurtagh-Galea]

Watching Wolf beeming at Sistah while he was waiting the band to drop - that's the experience we all had watching him react. Best reaction so far.

[@hads5279]

I love how she really takes her time before it gets heavier. I love the slow burn.

[@bernardbeers4248]

If this song doesn’t bring a tear to your eye, you’ve lost your soul. I had the privilege of seeing her play this live in 2022, it was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen.

[@zwastiunburzy3688]

I think it's great that she allowed Eminem to do a version of her song....🤓👍🇭🇲

[@robby1816]

I love Sistah's earrings of Africa, because when I tilt my head 45 degrees to the right, I see Australia.

[@HalfLifeSistah]

You're adorable😊❤

[@lynw.6140]

I just did it and you’re right, I do see Oz if I tilt to the right…

[@Frankielou1962]

Hi,as a Aussie I’ve seen Kasey live lots and she is a authentic talented woman who has been challenged personally and professionally over the years and tells her story in her music .The perfect artist to tell Eminem’s as well.Love Sistah’s reaction ❤ subscribing now!

[@HalfLifeSistah]

Hi, sugah! Thank you and welcome aboard! I hope to have the opportunity to hear more from here, because I am a fast fan of her's! ♥

[@freebirds67]

Lol i saw that too

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

While the rest of us were getting bored and angry during lock down, Kasey did this. 😊

[@HollowPoint_762]

well this is my first time hearing this....holy fuck

[@elizabethscott7660]

The final element of perfection in her performance is the very last notes, when she shifts from growling and yelling at you, into her head voice. One thing to understand. Australian country is not like American country. It's history and evolution are unique to the Australian experience.

[@kathyconway5327]

Really? The few times when au country leaves us country behind then it does improve coz it becomes genuine. But that doesn’t happen much.

[@harpermcalpineblack8573]

This is her "I might look like a country girl, but don't underestimate me' song. All of this was in the original song, but she brings it out and exposes it.

[@MadlainaMeister]

Kasey Chambers well and truly 'Johnny Cashed' this song and may just have invented a whole new genre of music in the process.

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

Many Australian fans think of her as country, based on the fact that she came out of her families country band. But, as was once said, "When I was a child, I thought as a child, now I have grown, I act as an adult."

[@yakidin63]

It's one of those epic KZbin moments that everyone should experience. The reactors dream song.

[@kathyconway5327]

Everyone was having a good time and so were we

[@randystalnaker6700]

Amen!!!!!

[@abekane7038]

I think her cover makes every one of us cry at some stage, I'm very glad you enjoyed it as much as I do

[@NickHunter]

all the stages :D

[@scoobsm6994]

I liked Wolf's reaction here more that his own channel (which was great too). Here he has the joy of just listening immersed in this amazing song, knowing the beautiful moments that keep hitting again and again; but also combined with the satisfaction of knowing how much feeling it's going to bring for HLS. You could just see that happiness on his face

[@andrewj4190]

Somebody should invite Kasey Chambers to perform her cover at the Grammys with Eminem in the audience.

[@robby1816]

I'm watching this again, just to catch The Wolf's appreciation of it the 2nd (or more?) time around. He can't wipe that smile off his face (from Kasey's performance, or Sistah's reaction?) Doesn't matter; sharing this with loved ones is joyful.

[@rebeccamestric4350]

I’ve watched it once before, but it just seems to get better

[@WeAreAllHumans-id9yo]

She rips apart genre and arranges it in spectacular fashion that rips your soul from your body to walk on your skin leaving a trail of goosebumps upon your flesh. She brings a desperation to the song that stares straight through every fear you have ever had.

[@donnaewe3692]

Kasey understood the assignment 😆🔥❤️ Beautiful reaction

[@lisabrown5924]

Wow, my first time seeing this too. Chills…!!!! Amazing!

[@deejayturtle]

I've watched more reactors react to this than I can recall. This was an enjoyable viewing.

[@HalfLifeSistah]

I'm glad your enjoyed watching❤

[@HollowPoint_762]

This was my first time hearing this cover, holy shit I am in for a long night.

[@vivnoname]

Me too, it’s so good that I’ve watched numerous reactions. I love watching people being blown away. On one site a commenter said it was shit. Has to be a troll. I know each to their own, but shit, really? It just gives the song even more meaning and emotion.

[@stephenroberge7824]

Hi this is Steven from Montreal Canada first time watcher lost all the Pink Floyd reactions I got to say she is a doll she really loves the music you can tell it gets to her what a beautiful thing now I have a deep purple song for you lazy it's called live 1972 Copenhagen you have to play it David Ritchie Blackmore is the best guitarist serious I don't care what anybody says not to mention the best drummer they have Ian paice best organist the best singer Ian Gillan what a band

[@Cyannah117]

Kasey may be at heart a country/folk singer, but Kasey is one of those people who has never bent to the industry. Kasey has always gone her own way and has always been a fan of Eminem. Covid lockdown gave Kasey the chance to play with it and this is the result. As COB said…Kasey leaves everything on the stage when she performs live. She gives her whole heart and soul when she performs live. Just remember that Em loved Kasey’s version enough that he gave her permission to record and make bank on her version! ❤

[@stanroach2842]

Em can't give her permission to monetize her version as HE doesn't own the copyright.

[@albertaguy4817]

Kasey actually states via the lyrics that she started it slow and then takes off... the transition from folk...to country ... then rock when the whole band jumps in!

[@davidberesford7009]

Great reaction to an epic performance! It puts me in mind of Janice Joplin.

[@kennethdodemaide8678]

Bloody brilliant. Best cover ever. She brought the emotion and soul to EMINEM's fantastic lyrics. You know how good this is when EMINEM loves it and gave her the right to post it on Spotify.

[@michaelreynolds1308]

It’s like if you got country folk rap and heavy metal and squeezed them all together….. BRILLIANT!!! ❤

[@michaelreynolds1308]

All sung by a psychotic angel !!!

[@hamfambam4020]

If you want a similar experience, please listen to John Farnham's version of "Help" from the Beatles. It's live and the encore song of a 3 hour concert! You won't regret it.

[@Quinctili]

Epic. Shades of the 1950's Beat Generation when the angry poets set their words to music cadence, that becoming expanded to folk music by Arlo Guthrie, furthered even more by Bob Dylan with his hint of Rock. That was exploded by the Stones, Led Zep , metal etc and etc. The second wave of angry music/free-form expression poetry came with Punk, again turned back into musical forms by the Seattle sound. Then along came the third wave of angry poetry, this time labelled Rap. Kasey Chambers has turned Rap back into music with this interpretation. Kasey used Eminems words to travel through all of those genres AND time, paying homage to Baez, with the story telling of Joni Mitchell, the balls and all tell it as it is country/ rock side of Joplin, finished with the explosiveness of Patti Smith. This one song by Chambers, with the words of Eminem, travelled through time, genius and modern music. Sensational.

[@elizabethscott7660]

I confess I miss Beat poetry. There were rare moments of brilliance and profound insight that embed into your mind and soul forever.

[@Quinctili]

@@elizabethscott7660 some great writers came from that era, that mentality, that thinking.

[@TransformNatch4U]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ thankyou Kasey just such a sublime gift. I’ve been in her thrall for close to 30 years. She has a voice that is a gift and talent that can’t be measured. She knows how to deliver every word of a lyric.

[@jeanine6328]

To me, Eminem’s version is coming from the gut, from anger and frustration. Her version comes from the heart. More like it’s being sung by an empathetic observer or a narrator of his life. You can hear all the emotions in her voice. I never thought an Eminem song could bring tears but it hit me the first time too.

[@sharonspiller7427]

The amount of emotion she was able to convey astonishes me. She FELT every note, and carried us all with her on this incredible journey. Second the Ain’t no Little Girl suggestion. I think it’s the Platt studio session? It’s fantastic. Again, so much emotion. I’d never had the pleasure of hearing her talent prior to Lose Yourself but I- a classic rock and metal fan, no country 😖- am a convert. Loved your authentic reaction.

[@RareRootsOfJoyMelbourne]

I love this reaction. I’m not a country/blue grass lover but I’ve made it a point to see Kasey live twice now because I know she leaves it all on stage, every time. I’ll go again. She’s an incredible artist. Love her, and I’ve enjoined this reaction so much! New subscriber here. Thank you for paying attention to Australian artists.

[@HalfLifeSistah]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed watching and welcome aboard! 💜

[@jayweb51]

Kasey is a select group of Australian artists who are a natural and authentic performer, that sing to engage their fans without an ego; Australia is blessed with the talents of the likes of John Farnham( who started his career as a 19 yr old pop idol in the late 60's to and adult contemporary artist from the the late 70's/early 80's) and Jimmy Barnes(who started in the 70's as a lead singer for the rock group Cold Chisel then going solo and eventually releasing a couple of soul albums). They are just the beginning of acclaimed artist, some international and others local.

[@metricstormtrooper]

Not bad for a girl from Mount Gambier 😁

[@Stu-Bo]

Saw your reaction first WK and your reaction was great. Glad to see HLS react to this too. Kasey blows it out of the park! So much raw vulnerability, but also raw strength that flows through her voice.

[@Len_M.]

She up and pulled a Johnny Cash like Hurt. It was amazing the first time I heard this. You guys should do Nine Inch Nails - Leaving Hope.

[@sueburn536]

I watched Wolf's reaction a few days ago and what I loved most about watching this one was seeing his face express all those emotions that I feel when I watch people react to it. You can see her thinking "ooh interesting... wow, great voice..." but as it builds, you can see him thinking the same thing that I think, which is "wait! just wait!!" and then the 3rd verse kicks in and she loses her mind and he is just loving watching that happen. This never gets old for me!

[@steverenfrew5223]

Kasey stripped that back and smashed IT!!!And gave her SOUL!👏👏👏👏👏👏Great band to👏👏👏

[@bernbee26]

Love your reaction she’s amazing and she did a brilliant arrangement ❤️ she went from anguish to angst and made you feel it. you will love Ain’t No Little Girl.

[@mojobag01]

I couldn't get odds on you losing it. Great reaction flower.

[@stuarthowison5777]

You would love "I Aint No Little Girl" if you enjoyed this, full of passion👍

[@davidcarter4247]

This is the best reaction I have seen to any song. Watching Sistah's face made it so. She enjoyed it from the outset and her expressions of delight stepped up with the song. I am not a rap fan nor a country fan, but Kasey made these exceptional lyrics neither. It was instead Kasey laying her emotions on the line, raw, powerful and beautiful. It is the greatest cover version I have ever heard because of that. The original song is not lost, it is the foundation.. But everything else js Kasey and her band, the music, the sublime arrangement, the emotion. Bob Dylan said Hendix's rendition of All Along The Watchtower made the song his. Kasey Chambers, as Sistah observed, made Lose Yourself hers.

[@robby1816]

YES. Share this with the world.

[@kdkay4039]

This to me feels like a woman, SCREAMING at other women; like “Do you see what men go through?”? It feels like she showing the pain, suffering, struggles, loss of self worth, etc., It’s so chilling and haunting to me. It’s beautiful! It’s also filled with so much pain and empathy. It could be addressed to either gender I suppose. I love it! It truly moved me!

[@rachelcrevatin-gunn7183]

She and her previous partner have a fabulous (almost bluegrass style) album called Rattling Bones that’s such an interesting listen.

[@alliegal45]

Been waiting for this since Wolf did the first reaction….was so fun watching the chaotic and wolf bobble heads in the first half and your amazing emotional reaction was epic ❤❤❤ … her recordings are nothing like what you see live .. live is heavy country rock… The Captain is awesome…she also ventures into other lanes and has performed with Aussie rappers Hilltop Hoods, Bliss and ESO and a few other genres

[@HalfLifeSistah]

Hi sugah 🤗 Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the reaction!❤

[@Rassskle]

Another piece of pure gold , LIVE from Australia.. .....and she is not even 50 yo yet, but the music industry has not been able to stop her success. I suggest " Not Pretty Enough " as another song worth exploring. From her 2nd solo album ( i think ), she wrote this song about the business criminals who run the music industry from start to finnish, including radio , tv and all their crooked cousins.

[@davidburnett93]

To watch 3 friends enjoying each others enjoyment was magical. Warmed my soul. Surprised at the end to find out chaotic was a fellow Aussie

[@jdbne]

She is a legend. Some of her own stuff such as ain’t no little girl is powerful

[@syyneater]

There’s a reason why professors have brought arm’s lyrics into class, the man can fucking write. Her cover reminds me of Disturbed Sound of Silence, Ronnie’s Last Resort and Johnny Cash’s Hurt covers. I throughly enjoy the originals, but hearing them in a different context, by artists that clearly connect with the originals, really brings a fresh new perspective. It’s quite an amazing feat and she absolutely killed it. You can really see how she connects to the lyrics and the arrangement in that back third was masterful. The music dropping out for her to deliver the last words in that set of lyrics was so impactful. Really enjoyed the reaction, not sure how I got unsubscribed (other that KZbin being itself), so I’m glad your reaction popped up in my feed!

[@jcook3430]

Thank God for talented people.

[@rikkim4818]

Eminems version is full of anger and frustration but Kaseys is full of hurt, sadness, regret a.nd determination. She's d 18:50 one a couple of fantastic songs like the Captain and there's another one l can't think of right now.

[@amandacasey1946]

Loved Sistah's reaction 😢 and really appreciated all the discussion afterwards ❤

[@jenniferhearn4117]

After seeing several reactions from people l have to commend you three on your in-depth analysis of her performance and sharing your appreciation of such an innovative reworking of such an iconic song.

[@HalfLifeSistah]

Thank you☺️❤

[@davidemery4759]

HFS reminds me of my auntie. She was great in this video allowing herself to fully feel the song. You guys are adorable.

[@saltydroog854]

What an absolutely beautiful and authentic, raw reaction. Bravo.

[@brettbridger362]

Good review. Great to see how much Kasey was able to rock your world. I'd recommend that HLS tries 'Aint no little girl' if she wants to hear Kasey in her normal wheelhouse. As with most Aussie artists, a live performance will normally be better.

[@macman1469]

Great reaction. In Oz she's regarded as Country.

[@brookfredericks1984]

I came here straight from Wolf's reaction, great to see you both get emotional at about the same point that I did... this song has always had a deep and powerful meaning to it, but somehow it hits harder in Kasey's version. Kudos to all involved, Em, Kasey, Chaotic, Sistah and the Wolf...

[@Dogrockdog]

She screams daughter , yet her father plays slide guitar in the clip. Don’t overthink it. Ex boyfriend on guitar. . She’s awesome

[@alliegal45]

Um isn’t it her brother Nash on lead?

[@Dogrockdog]

@@alliegal45 correct. I think. As a band …. Awesome. Like the church …. Band

[@EmmaDaisy]

@@alliegal45 Hi, that’s not her brother, it’s her long time guitarist and back up vocalist Brandon Dodd. Nash Chambers did mix this song though. He currently lives in Nashville in the US and was unable to join her during this tour.

[@hamfambam4020]

She definitely helps to Ascend you when you hear it. I don't understand those who hear it and just shrug. Thankyou for getting it and getting emotional as I did, she goose-bumped me all over!

[@divinemadness7119]

What a beautiful reaction! 😍😍 Thank you 😊😊

[@HalfLifeSistah]

Thank you too!♥

[@toddgoodwin4203]

Just shows the importance of great story tellers and the ability for great artists to Interpret those words. Eminem comes from a defiant young man, her version uses the exact same words but makes it feel like she’s telling the story of a concerned mother. Just amazing!

[@waynesworld7804]

Got it in one! Authentic!!

[@justlinsu]

I loved how Kasey slowly told the story....then the emotion kicks in....The the ANGER! WOW Finally we heard the lyrics of Eminem are finally reveeled. And to me a really horrific story of his life. I think she did him proud, Loved this reaction guys. Love from Australia

[@TheOneSoulMate_]

It was absolutely amazing.

[@dianeemanuel8541]

Sistah - absolutely adore your reaction ❤❤❤❤ You look like how I felt hearing this. Kacey is a huge Eminem fan hogan wanted to cover this song for years. the Covid Quarantine gave her the time to create this arrangement.

[@dianeemanuel8541]

Folk/ country rock background

[@HalfLifeSistah]

I'm glad your enjoyed it! It was the best cover I have ever heard!!❤

[@scottwatson9453]

I've never bothered listening to Kasey before as county music isnt my thang! But once I witnessed this amazing performance she changed my mind about her. Great reaction..i thought Sistah was going to implode with enthusiasm.

[@HalfLifeSistah]

This song--more so the way she sang it, really hit me in a deep, visceral way!❤

[@suh4771]

Ha, love the sly smiles on the blokes! Head noddng as well. Kasey is amaaazing!

[@staceydowning4476]

I love both of your reactions!!! I too got tears and chills forever!! Glad I found you both through this ❤❤

[@justinsullivan6410]

Great reaction,i too haven't given Kasey much attention but that was bloody next level mate, legendary

You should have been there ... The impact was a thousand times more powerful !!!❤❤

I’m so used to seeing your husband cry to beautiful music Sistah, but your reaction had me crying. You felt that as I did. What an amazing performance by everyone and her voice is sublime. I’ve heard it so many times but it still gets me. So glad the three of you enjoyed it. 🥰

[@arkansaslabs]

I just found this channel from this song and her cover of this song. I hope I’m getting the name right Sistah that was the most beautiful, real,& honest reaction to this song I’ve seen. Wow. Thank you for sharing and not stopping the song and just letting she feel the whole song. Subscribed ❤

Aaaawwwwe, hi, sunshine! ^_^/ I'm glad you enjoyed watching and welcome aboard! You are a Sistah Souljah :-* ♥

[@mals4125]

Loved you reaction - so honest and so passionate - just like her rendition. I loved watching Wolf really just appreciate the song having already heard it, instead of being overwhelmed by its brilliance.

[@dirkmcgurk1]

I loved watching your reaction on this one. It's obvious how much you are feeling the performance.

[@rickmumford9837]

I think I've watched nearly every reaction to this, and I think your reaction is brilliant. Kasey leaves everything on the stage when she sings this. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@aaronhutchen1319]

Minor correction. Lose yourself is from the mind of the character of b-rabbit. 8- mile its self isnt an autobiography! Eminem did grow up on the streets of detroit but he lived in a house not a trailer park, just a few minor things.

[@stanroach2842]

Apart from loving her interpretation & performance, I LOVE the fact that after this concert - "they" listened to the recording & said: "wow, pity we didn't have a camera unit filming because THAT is a hit." Kasey reached out over social media to her fans asking for anyone who was there & filmed it on their phones to please forward the footage - hey presto....a music video was born. That's why there are so many different angles, changes in quality.....all came from fans phones.

[@HalfLifeSistah]

Wow! Thanks for that! ♥

[@julzhunt7790]

Thanks for sharing our Aussie talent. Saw this on Wolfs channel👍🏼❤️🇦🇺 Awesome Reaction. I defy you to find any crap Aussie music Artist.

[@cyclone2515]

Hey Sistah from Australia! My partner and I saw Kasey perform this song in a small country town called Cobar in Australia, he’s not a country fan and he was amazed by the way she performed this song, because even in a small pub it sounded just as powerful as it does in this clip. Kasey is an amazing artist, the way she sounds and performs is unique.. she’s one of my favourite artists. I also love that in both yours and Wolfs reviews she’s brought both of you to tears 😊. Love this review, and have subscribed to both your channels. Thanks!

I have two wonderful songs for you to review: "Dio - Holy Diver" & "Wardruna/Aurora - Helvegen". The latter option (Helvegen) is an extremely powerful song on which Ms Sistah will get ocular floods.

[@sevenfourdoubleO]

Fabulous review

[@HalfLifeSistah]

Thank you! ♥

[@TerranSol]

Hhmmmmm you haven't reacted to any Ren yet have you? Oooooo if you haven't then that is definitely a rabbit hole worth going down. If you do decide to react to Ren (and I really hope you do) then the first of his sing should be 'Hi Ren' He has some real tear jerkers too. He a genre bender does many genres and has a huge back catalogue. You will not be disappointed. I think it will be right up your alley. He's a singer, rapper, multi instrumentalist, producer, writer, director, the goat of one takes, bard, lyricists. Dude does everything.

[@chaoticoldbore]

We had actually just finished recording a Hi Ren reaction when we recorded this, it's on their p*treon in a slightly edited version, a fully edited version is coming to YT

[@HalfLifeSistah]

Hi! Yes, what he said :-D ♥

[@Markus22_futurism]

It’s just. Just wanna express, emotions like that.
