KILLER COVER!!! KASEY CHAMBERS LOSE YOURSELF (Eminem Cover) Live @Civic Theatre, Newcastle AU

[@stl1321]

Nice of Eminem to write the lyrics for Kasey.

[@markphillips1177]

Kaaey absolutely understood the assignment!

[@yoluko4750]

A few things about the video: This is Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia. The reason for the footage quality is because it was shot on phones by members of the audience. After the performance, Kasey's team reached out on social media for footage so they could put the clip together. The slide guitar s being played by Bill Chambers, Kasey's dad.

[@baronvonthrophousen5930]

Best cover of any song I think I’ve ever heard, just incredible.

[@rodthebodfromcanada]

It's dark and grainy because it was not professionally shot. She asked everyone in attendance to send in their cellphone footage which was edited into a video. And the guy playing the slide guitar is her dad.

[@Cyannah117]

Kasey has been a superstar in Australian country/folk for over 25 years and she was the youngest ever recipient of the ARIA Hall of Fame. However, Kasey has been performing since she was very young with the family in the Dead Ringer Band and this was the culmination of the work she did whilst in Covid lockdown! Kasey still performs with her family, hence why her Dad, Bill, is on slide during this performance. ❤ Kasey is always best in a live setting…she always puts 110% into her performances. This has to be the best live performance from Kasey ever! ❤ I would have given anything to be there in Newcastle at that concert! Not bad for a 46 year old Mum hey? Welcome to our Kasey 😊

[@metricstormtrooper]

I've watched every reaction to Kasey's version of lose yourself and I Still Get Goosebumps.

[@crystalscolza1663]

Binge does not even cover it...we need another word for when we find a new song and watch every single reactor who has seen it. Lmfao I think it is because I love music, listen all day. And sometimes it is nice to feel like there is someone listening with you, who gets it...

[@stormbikes]

Brilliant reaction - Kasey is an Aussie treasure...

[@stevewilliams430]

Great reaction, Kasey has been doing this for a long time she is sensational!

[@srjwaugh]

IMO, Kasey is retelling her life story, using Em's lyrics, from her distant past, here the tone is one of melancholy, and as she comes closer to the present her tone changes to anguish and earnestness until she reaches the present day where she is filled with rage, and allows the music to take all that pain away. A brilliant performance. One of the most extraordinary covers of all time. A special homage to Eminem, the master storyteller.

[@michaelphipps8647]

Em does a fairly good job of covering Kasey's song!!!

[@rca6576]

This was Eminem's anthem about his life and the lyrics are stellar Casey took that anthem, made it for everybody out here struggling and she made us feel that to our soul. Eminem gave her permission to publish her version on Spotify.

[@dalewyatt1321]

Well done Mr. Beard. I've watched about 50 reactions to this and you are the 2nd person who sees the grab of the pick and know what's going on. Girl done good, didn't she .....

[@donnam5891]

Absolutely

[@Laurielism]

And I've not seen anyone notice the band coming in behind her. Very observant.

[@CadillacJak]

Greatest cover song of all time

[@julianaFinn]

It's a love letter to great story telling.

Yep, she kept it small in the beginning but the mood all changed. She’s a musical genius. 🇦🇺

[@stanroach2842]

They recorded the audio at the desk but the concert wasn't filmed. When they listened to the recording & realised how special it was, Kasey asked her social media followers to send it anything filmed on peoples phones & hey presto....a music video was born.

[@daveamies5031]

The AU = Australia, Newcastle is a regional city about 2 hours north of Sydney, really pretty city with some great beaches an awesome music scene, used to be a mining and steel works town.

[@PUNKinDRUBLIC72]

I enjoyed your reaction, and the comments. Kindred spirits here🖤💛❤️

[@scramblesish]

She’s a badass Aussie 😉

[@JoRiceRenegade4Eva]

Raw unadulterated Brilliance! I was totally blown away when I first “experienced” this Phenomenal performance, amazing arrangement & pure to the emotional interpretation of Em’s masterpiece - just legendary!! Em gave her his permission to release on Spotify, that says it all 👏👏👏 She is aged 46 at the time of this performance 2022. I’ve always been a fan of Kasey, she is a freakin amazing & talented musician, artist & woman. But this was next level genius & so personal for her. She has lived every second of this story. The performance wasn’t filmed, she put a post out after the show to fans present to please send in any footage, the compilation of which you see. The band killed it, matching & building with her energy brilliantly. Long time band member Brandon (I think 🤔) on guitar & the vocals that nurtured the momentum & her dad on slide guitar making it sing like a phoenix - all of them together made this one of the all time best live, for me a rebirth, not a cover, that I’ve ever heard, seen & felt….to my core. Top reaction - new subscriber from Tasmania Aus 👍🏻👏

[@stanroach2842]

Sorry - Eminem can't give his permission as he doesn't own the copyright to the song.

[@mwinstanley7]

Really enjoyed your reaction/breakdown. Cheers

[@wolffhenry5751]

When the band comes in, I felt I was in a Pink Floyd concert!

[@LivH-m7y]

Enjoyed your great reaction! She put so much emotion into this song! Truly amazing!

[@kylec1411]

So hard to cover an Eminem song and do it justice. Hes a brilliant wordsmith. Kasey gets that and amplified the message of the lyrics on a new more emotional level. Still tears me up sometimes. She rocks. And Eminem too.

[@AuroraMeansDawn27]

I would LOVE to have seen Eminem's reaction to this. For him to loosen the copyright for her, he must have been impressed.

[@Twinkle_Toes88]

Yes!! I just found this song about a month ago and I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT EM HASN’T said anything about this song!! ⭐️🔥 come on Em!!

[@kennethdodemaide8678]

Best cover ever. Bloody Brilliant.

[@jayweb51]

This performance has been described as Rock-Ballad, Kasey's approach is like a mother talking to her children; it starts of soft and eerily haunting as the guitar is introduced, then when the band comes in it becomes a desperate plea. Kasey is an Australian country music singer-songwriter, but her approach to this song is another of her talents as an artist; she is a highly acclaimed singer, and has won many awards for her 12 studio albums(produced by her brother, Nash) and hit singles. She originally started in the family band, Dead Ringer Band; with her father(Bill), her mother(Diane) and her brother(Nash) before starting a solo career.

[@robby1816]

Oh, oh, OH!!! indeed. "Southern rock"... yep, don't get much more southern than Down Under.

[@crystalscolza1663]

When she belts out ...this maybe the only opportunity that I got....you feel that. She is well known in A.U. but she has said she felt like she missed her window for international fame. She knew as she was putting this together during lockdown, that this may be the only opportunity she has to go world wide viral. And she did it! Amazingly. She made a song that changed the game. Because besides the lyrics, she made the arrangement of this song from scratch.

[@Twinkle_Toes88]

Est reaction to this song I've seen. And I did see quite a few! I am totally with you on your analysis! (I also like the guitar coming in and the actual sound of it the most) Thanks a lot. 👍🔥 Cheers from Berlin 😎

[@donnam5891]

I love the sound of that guitar also.

[@stephanielane1821]

Great reaction, someone said the guitarist was Kasey's brother, I heard it was actually Brandon Dodd, who has been with the group for many years, she has an amazing back catalogue

[@EmmaDaisy]

Yes you’re right 😊 it is Brandon Dodd. Nash lives in the US and didn’t make this tour, though he rarely tours with her anymore. He did put this mix together though.

[@garyrowlands2334]

My take on this song is that it is a story in 2 parts. The first part with Kasey going solo is one of utter hopelessness and despair of the person's situation in life. The second part, with the entire band, is of anger and determination. This person living a life without hope finally sees a single opportunity to better themself. And they are determined to do it.

[@troyanstone65]

Well said.

[@donnam5891]

I felt it was three parts. Kasey's solo first; & then something subtle added with the guitarist. Love that guitar's sound & the simple harmonies are amazing. Then....wow with the whole band. I hope this was her last encore because she looked totally done by the time she was finished...so much emotion & the band was giving 110% as well. Such a gutsy arrangement for an Aussie country music singer to take on one of Eminem's songs. And she's blown everyone away. Great reaction mate. I've only seen one other reactor notice her getting the pick before the band drops in.

[@garyrowlands2334]

I agree with you on the 3 parts to this song from a musical point of view. I was more focused on the message. And yes, Kasey did give 110%. She looked absolutely drained at the end. I don't think I've ever seen anyone perform like that. Such raw emotion , a bit like showing the world your inner feelings. Being vulnerable.

[@troyanstone65]

@@garyrowlands2334 Beautiful, Kasey and your words.

[@heidicross7255]

There are no camera's. This was the last song Kasey performed for the night and because she didn't get it on film, the next day, she went onto her page and asked anyone who got phone footage of this song at her show, could they send it to her. The result is the collage of footage that you are watching of her performance. Eminem loves it and gave her permission to put it on Spotify. Kasey and her band are country performers in Australia. The slide guitar player is her father.

[@karryn4624]

Many blessings to you. You have beautiful energy.

[@grahamejohn6847]

If you knew Kasey's story it would explain the sorrow and the pain she shows at the start and then the pissed-off attitude at the end. Brilliant reaction.

[@iancremmins4727]

AU= Australia The camera work is basically the audience made video from their phones, Kasey put out a message after the concert and asked for any footage and they created it from those

[@vitruvianman7170]

Song time travels from a lamenting drovers wife to classic Australian pub rock. Showcasing the timeless lyrics of Eminem.

[@gerardbyrnes5780]

When she/they recorded this, they new it was epic.. they had good sound equipment (obviously) but they didn't have good video. On her Facebook page she reached out to audience members to send her any video they had. That is why this has such a unique look to it. I love both the music and the video. Wonderful arrangement. To be honest, like you I had never heard of her.

Usually I don't like reactions where people pause a lot... But you actually have good points to make each time!! A lot just seem to pause to say something random... Great reaction! New subscriber here... Well done!

[@archcollie5708]

Kasey presented this performance as her life in song - as a journey. It starts with the soft plead of uncertainty highlighting a lack of confidence. Then the mood all changed to a cry of anguish and determination. Finally, after all the hard work comes tremendous acclamation and success. She lost herself and left her soul on stage, laid bare and battered. Unbelievable and brilliant. This was a deconstruction of Eminem's incredible artistry reassembled and made better.

[@donnam5891]

Couldn't have said it better.

[@kcinsti]

A) dude you nailed this, and B) knowing Kasey's catalogue, I have a feeling the band would love the opportunity to rock the fck out on this one song.

[@Danny0dbert]

This became my favorite song I've ever heard. Not even really a competition in my mind. Sadness to pure energy is incredible.

[@bernadettelanders7306]

Give an Australian country singer a banjo who loves Eminem and bingo - absolute brilliance. Oh Kasey’s dad is on slide guitar and I think it’s her brother in the other guitar. If I’m wrong, another Aussie Will correct me lol 😊 Kasey and her family have been singing here in Aus for ages.

[@LifecRaftTransform]

it’s her regular guitarist Brandon Dodd on guitar - her brother Nash probably recorded this for her - he is her sometime manager and is a record producer

[@bernadettelanders7306]

@@LifecRaftTransform Ta. 👍Wasn’t sure if Nash or her other guitarist.

[@fllkflkk8178]

The slide guitar gives it a Pink Floyd vibe. The video is a mash up from her fans, she asked them to send her the videos from their phones

[@candydandy2694]

Whilst we were all getting fat and drinking too much during covid lockdown, this is what a musical genius does! She wrote the entire arrangement, and that's her dad on lap steel and her brother rocking out on the keys. Amazing reaction video to an amazing interpretation of an amazing, song! And the man himself allowed her to release it on Spotify, so it has the tick of approval. Amazing all round!

[@Nowheremt]

The mood all changed…

[@brettbridger362]

Kasey's strength is her ability to bare her life before an audience/ I think the phrase you were after was 'angst ridden'? Her normal wheelhouse is folk/country, but she doesn't fear to tread where her heart leads.

[@divinemadness7119]

What a beautiful reaction!!

Your reaction.......priceless

[@lynndally9160]

Kasey is country music royalty in Australia and is the youngest person to be inducted in to the ARIA hall of fame. This wasn't professionally recorded, so kasey put a call out on her social media and asked anyone who was at this concert, if they could send in their footage. This video is the result of that. You should have a listen to her song "Ain't no little girl " or "The Captain" which was used in an episode of "The Sopranos"

[@dickwilliam3793]

the audio is not from a phone though

[@brettbridger362]

Correct. But all of the video is from fan's submissions. BTW her Dad is on slide.@@dickwilliam3793

[@jemxs]

Kasey really turns it upside down and sideways. Brilliant reimagining. An original song of hers "Ain't No Little Girl" is well worth checking out!

[@philc2729]

I was simply mesmerized by all phases of this performance, be it mournful, anxious/determined, or southern rock. I also think there is some influence from Janis Joplin, perhaps others in her rendition. She made her own song which happened to share the same lyrics of the original.

[@tomazroses6022]

Instant sub right there ! Only reactor Ive seen pick up on the woooo-ooooo-ooooooooooo at the end most just talk over it! Great reaction to our Kasey we have the lock downs to thank for this so something good came out of them after all. During lockdown Kasey said she had time to work on this arrangement which was something she'd wanted to do for decades but never had the time to spend to do it justice! And justice was done. Loved your breakdown of it and seeing you react same way I did when I first heard it. 🤣

[@lindab424]

The video for this song came direct from the audience. That was the first time she had sung the song to the public and wasn't expecting the response she got from it. She decided to ask the audience to share their footage with her and she was able to make the video. That is why it looks the way it does.

[@PeterLGଈ]

In order for Kasey to release the song, Eminem had to give permission. That's something he just doesn't do, and if you release it without his permission, he will copyright you to death. Gaining his permission and approval is a BIG deal.

The heavy part, particularly the start has a pink floyd feel to me.

[@Rassskle]

Australian music has at least 70 years of live music history at this leval.......although this might be the best of all. lol As Australian artists refuse to let recording executives tell them what to play and how to play it.......our BEST music has never made it internationally. But we have given you our scraps.....like AC/DC, THE Bee Gees, The Budgie ( Kylie Minogue ), Air Supply, The Little River Band etc etc... ...but not our good stuff, except maybe for Crowded House ( NZ band ) and Joan Sutherland and Dame Nellie Melba. ( last 2 are Opera ).......oh, and guitar virtuosos John Williams ( Classical ) and Tommy Emmanuel ( anything and all styles ).

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

Kasey is a huge Eminem fan. So she spent low-down writing the music and the arrangement for this song.😊❤

[@hansmolders1066]

Rule number one! If you do a cover, you don't do it bc it's popular. You do it bc it moves you! Rule# 2, you express in YOUR way and within YOUR means what you want the audience to take away! Anything less is a bad cover and will be forgotten. I only have an acoustic guitar and always wanted to play 'Zombie' by the cranberries. I had to slow it down, use some open string techniques to make it more interesting and then build, build, build to a crescendo. Some ppl say,'wait, I know that song!'😂

[@padenj420]

I dare y'all to find another song where the word "hoes" was sung so beautifully.
