Matt Corby Covers Tina Arena | Chains | Like A Version | Reaction

[@oneshot4826]

Unfortunately aussie musicians don't get the credit they deserve. I think they're just as good as any in the world. Appreciate you showcasing their talent on your channel.

[@littleflick]

I feel like a lot of Aussie musicians are better than others around the world we here regularly. Because if they aren’t better they don’t get any exposure.

[@bernadettenovembreofficial]

So true!

[@sirikalvik]

Why are you guys talking like different countries have different kind of quality regarding musicians? We are all people, and perhaps culture change performance but not talent. Ausie talent is neither better nor worse than other countries, cause talent doesnt work that way. Only reason you hear more about american and british musicians is because its a machine churning out artist after artist. And Matt Corby is appreciated all over the world. Not because he is Australian, but because of his raw talent.

[@littleflick]

@@sirikalvik I won’t speak for others. But I was trying to articulate that USA and UK musicians are played so much around the world and here in Australia and unfortunately a lot of Aussie artists struggle to break into international audiences. So the few that do (like Matt Corby) are often extremely talented.

[@suave-rider]

But Matt is to blame here. He chose to be an anti-big time artist and slink underground. He doesn't seem to want international fame and touring an that stuff

[@SwayJJ]

Matt Corbys background is interesting. As a young teen he was in this strange travelling religious music group that travelled around parts of Australia (it was run by leaders of a church he used to attend). Then he auditioned for Australian Idol when he was 16 doing an audition of Superstition by Stevie wonder on his acoustic guitar. He didn’t win, think he came 5th or something like that. Anyway he was still very young. When he left the show he essentially went into hiding, didn’t release anything. He reappeared years later with a very indie vibe to his music which is when he released Brother. In an interview he said he was sort of embarrassed by the Idol thing and wanted to get away from it. He believed that mainstream music scene was not what he wanted his musical journey to be dictated by. When Brother came out it was huge on a indie radio station called Tripe J (which is still listened by a large population of Australian music listeners) but not at all on mainstream radio stations. He released several singles before his first major album. He is widely respected in the Australian music scene for his musicianship. By the way he is now 30 y.o

[@jonoovereem2124]

Love Matt! He come second on season 5 of Idol. Brother was huge on all main stations. #3 on ARIA charts and won ARIA song of the year 2012. Resolution was his other song that made its way onto mainstream radio in a big way. Also a great song!

[@mred777]

Triple J (JJJ FM)…👍🏼

[@mikelombard21]

well said.

[@storytimewithyaz]

Just to put it out there, Matt released 3 EPs (I think it was) independently in the Christian music scene before traveling to London and writing Brother after learning some heavy news about someone he trusted as a musical & spiritual mentor. Their relationship wasn’t repaired for a long time and hence the heaviness in songs like Brother (written about the situation) which literally broke his heart & why he writes to such an extent about his spiritual journey - the highs and lows/ups & downs. You can literally see how well he is mentally in the music he chooses to cover or put out & how he is running to God/community or away from it, denouncing it or openly engaging in its reality. He is a fascinating case study in many ways to see the effects of traumatic experiences and how they push the human psyche to its limits and what holds it all together. I have never been more convinced of anyone’s anointing. I went to one of his rainbow valley tour shows and during the song miracle love, unprompted the entire seated audience stood to their feet and ran to the front like an altar call. I just stood their weeping coz I’ve been praying for him for years knowing and seeing his pain play out and the turn around he has had since having his child is absolutely wild. All that to say, I appreciate these videos! Keep them coming. You should do a reaction to miracle love at Manchester cathedral.

[@BD-yl5mh]

Feel like it’s worth pointing out that this video literally comes from Triple J haha

[@melloncolliemelon7948]

🤣🤣🤣 “ I will shut this whole operation down” 🤣🤣 hahahahhah I lost it. brilliant. Exactly how corbys voice makes you feel, like wait, what? That’s really happening?! Haha your facials always kill it. 🔥 found your page a few days ago and have been enjoying ur vids heaps and loving that you’re listening to some of our good home grown Aussie talent. 💖

[@carolinedesigner]

Matt's all about the build and teasing us along the way - giving us more and more as he builds up! Absolutely freakishly talented human.

[@firdaus.ozgirla8498]

I can totally see you making an all Aussie singers playlist! Your appreciation of our talent makes me look and hear them all with fresh eyes and ears ❤️ It’s great how you break down even the smallest runs and hearing you sing them too is even better 😊. You know so much of our music scene that you’re now an honorary Aussie! 🇦🇺🦘

[@debphelan-devon7928]

Totally Agree he is a Aussie now

[@reneepope-munro8115]

Watching you experience all our Aussie faves is really making me appreciate how deeply soul is embedded in our musical DNA. What a gift from our musical forefathers and the lasting legacy of the famous Australian Wanderlust, leading us to travel and gather musical influences from a wide range of places and people. I’d also point to the really strong jazz scenes in Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane in particular as a reason for this.

[@carolinedesigner]

I fricken love when you sing along. You're fabulous mate!

[@ThatSingerReactions]

Thank you :)

[@SwayJJ]

Meg Mac in my opinion is one of the best modern Australian vocalists in the scene. Grandmas’s hands by Meg Mac is a nice place to start to appreciate or R&B vocals

[@m0nm0n]

I've been waiting for someone to suggest her while he seems to be on an Australian phase. After 'grandma's hands' I'd suggest 'Never be' but all her songs are amazing! 😍

[@courtneydennis8877]

Meg Mac yes!!!!!

[@CAROCASH]

I second this.

[@jilandrak]

Love Meg Mac, another suggestion I'd make is Vera Blue

[@aussiesailorbum]

Qhh God Meg Mac! Another great

[@Sue-mq3zl]

Every song he sings is a stellar performance. ❤

[@MLOOTGIIVSATTIEXD]

I grew up listening to triple j, I bloody love it. When Matt Corby came on the scene and stole the show, it was INCREDIBLE. I appreciate that triple j has the segment “like a version” which is what you’re reacting to. So many amazing artists come and do one of their own and a cover and it’s incredible.

[@TheTribalistic]

Dude, I appreciate the internet. For me as an Egyptian to find your videos and vibe to your vibes is just amazing keep rocking and don’t shut the operation, love from the pyramids!

[@Cbx452]

My favourite song by Matt Corby is Resolution. Great song!

[@julianaFinn]

Hadn't heard this version before. 😳 Where have I been? And I'm in Australia... there's something in the water down here...

[@ThatSingerReactions]

Lmao

[@janegilmore102]

I sent this to Tina lol. She had seen it and 🥰 LOVED IT. I would LOVE Tina and Matt to sing this together. Yes he is Aussie……no voice show…… independent singer.

[@rebbrown72]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYmyfKCmatdkZs0

[@janegilmore102]

@@rebbrown72 Thank you so much, now I understand her full message lol. I’ve watched Tina since YTT and today I still think she’s one of our best music treasures and was treated poorly because she was on YTT so she goes overseas where a lot of her family is and blows them all away. Then the Aussies are like we want her back…..I saw her in pubs, in clubs and she fought to where she is today and I finally got a great seat at the opera House And watched her live with the full Sydney Symphony Orchestra I cried. And my gf was taping it and I yelled out “ I love you Tina always! “ & and she laughed ( cos I’m a loud bitch lol) and she said “ I know that voice I love you too” and my gf gave me the tape for my birthday lol. I do it to Marcia Hines as well lol. When I saw her up the coast and her new CD had just come out. My sister had said how me and hubby broke up and after the concert she raced out gave me her CD with a message inside of it. I bawled “ I wrote track 2 for you” gettin teary thinking about it lol. Thanks again for the link. That was sweet of you. 🙏🏻🇦🇺🙏🏻🥰 God Bless!

[@publicislandsociety]

He was 16yrs old when he was runner up on Australian Idol back in the day.

[@JCKay]

She did hear it and performed with him on stage at "Splendour in the Grass" in 2019 I think ...

[@Teagirl009]

P.s Guy Sebastian also appeared on "Like a Version" a few years back. He did a great cover of "Keeping Score" (by LDRU) with Paces. 👍

[@catherinehall9243]

My favourite like a version of all time!

[@jb2732]

One of my all time favourite 'like a version' installments, so damn good.

[@julzrosevear8409]

We have top notch gold singers here in Australia. Matt is a superior talent. Love him. Check out his audtion on australian idol when he was 16yrs old.

[@zombiemukbang7555]

Matt is a gospel singer and his roots are the Hillsong church. I love everything he does but I adore his song Monday, it makes me shake and cry and everyones out there is always reacting to Brother but Monday does it for me.

[@ThatOneBattlegroundsGamer]

Love Matt. His voice is like velvet. Smooth and raw

[@leandabee]

Yes, Guy and Matt collab,that would be something to see and hear 👂 👀👏👏

[@flipsmc8647]

Another great reaction.👌 Hot tip: Tag TripleJ in any of these like a version reactions. They are a nation wide radio station here in Aus, and it'll help your coverage in "recommended" here for sure.🤙👊

[@bennov1velthuyzen636]

Smashed it again bro 💪 don't shut the operation down you gotta keep on giving fire 🔥 reactions

[@mikelombard21]

OMG!! I am so excited. Im a huge fan of Matt but he is so unknown, nobody reacts to him. This is only the 2nd or 3rd video I can find reacting to this song, and it may be my favorite song(cover) of his. Thank god this finally came out. I cannot wait to watch it, Thank you so much. My next Matt song recommendation would be "Miracle Love" or "All Fired up" But I understand if you have a thousand other recommendations coming in all the time. So take your time and I will enjoy my favorite, most genuine reactor, and my fav song. Much love Brother.

[@l3f799]

Love your channel and reactions. Its so enjoyable to feel your genuine enthusiasm for all forms of great music. Matt Corby's voice fits into what I call 'late night' music although he is flexible enough to cross style lines easily. World class!

[@RinN3-.]

Love ❤️ your reaction to this one. I’ve watched it so many times 😆

[@brownmouse100]

listen to him sing Resolution you will love it love the reactions

Resolution was the first time I heard Matt. I was transported

[@crystalk98]

Resolution is one of my all time fave songs, it's amazing

[@mcgoondianaruth2187]

I am feeling soul Train 💓 I grew up listening to and loving tina arena, and I just love the way he adds to this beautiful song 🌺 absolutely stunning

He was on Australian Idol 2007 from memory

[@kieranducey793]

Kings queens beggars and thieves from his early work.. you would love it.

[@mikelombard21]

That run at the end of the video is nuts. I can't comprehend how he can do that. The different registers and agility is nuts.

[@SRP1973]

Triple J Like A Version from back in the day has soooo many iconic performances. Matt is just a legend.

[@julieroche5215]

Love your reactions and so happy you have discovered our amazing talented singers.💜

[@andymccann2716]

he is probably the best singer ever, I love Matt and was lucky enough to see him live. He doesn't get the recognition he deserves. I love your reaction to him, you clearly know your stuff and have an amazing voice yourself

[@jared_mintie]

Have a listen to his songs "This House" and "Fishing Off a Bridge". It's him harmonizing with himself. It is unreal.

[@micky2604]

Add "Monday" to that list 👌

[@amandamckenna]

I always wondered what this generation of singers would do with this classic Aussie song. And Matt Corby is a worthy contender. I just love his version. And yeah...he can sing his face off.

[@juliebrown8381]

Thanks for showcasing our amazing Talent down under ....I love your commentary. 🤩

[@mikelombard21]

Matt is a virtuoso. The man is unbelievably good.

❤❤i just luv your reaction, u make me laugh🎉🎉

[@marmusicgen9426]

You get it…I thought I was the only one who noticed his insane runs and how he delivers his vocals, I try to imitate him too lol. I have watched him sing Chains probably a million times.

[@colleenborchard_burns1724]

One of the best covers of all time!

[@CiaraArmstrong]

Yaaasss!! Been waiting for this one. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@carolinedesigner]

Lastly, you should listen to the two of them sing this together (Matt and Tina Arena)

[@jadeitegray3531]

Yay matt again my favourite singer ♡, he's aussie he was on idol in 07 he was very pop music back than , he's very well known here but like most Australian singers we don't make it in America because idk

[@Jehnniebobennie]

Your reaction is so perfect.

[@LummyLumz]

Bro seeing as you love Aussie singers so much, make your way over here and you can stay at my house. We’ll go do a road trip around Australia and go see all these greatest artists in the flesh. I hope you like beer, coz there will be plenty of it drunk 👌🏽

[@squeakynips]

Truthfully us Aussies love our musicians and vocalists but I guess we don’t realise how good we got it u til someone from another place hears them. The excitement on this mans face isn’t how I felt the first time I heard this, it was CLOSE but I didn’t understand how impressive it is. I’m repping all my Aussie faves from now on, with more pride - pride THEY deserved - and I’ll appreciate how damn lucky I am to hear them on the daily ❤️🥰🦘🔥

[@mikelombard21]

Surprise in music is the hardest thing to come by(vocally). The way he is unpredictable is so special and singular.

[@dolobran]

Dude I love your reactions....awesome

[@ThatSingerReactions]

Thanks brother

[@tersyters1982]

Matt Corby is one of the best male singers ever. I've seen this guy live and he is absolutely phenomenal. This cover is epic, I love how he just lets it rip. He just gets better and better all the time. He's not from this world!

Matt was on Australian Idol, aged 16. He didn't win but did well. The thing I wanna add is that there was another 16 y.o. called Ben McKenzie that was, at the time, even better. He was deciding between a career in music or film making, and chose the latter. So we have missed out on all his magic. He absolutely killed it singing and playing piano. Worth searching KZbin for it, performing 'Hide and Seek'

[@christopherkellett7579]

And one other thing worth noting... This is recorded live on air... At 7/8am on Australian radio station Triple J

[@kerryngriffith5449]

Love your reactions to our Aussie artists ❤️

[@karistone1297]

Yep, he's an Aussie too. Australian Idol a while ago...came 5th but was only 16. He's in his late twenties now, I think.

[@kiraph]

I'd love to hear you do a duet with Matt. You have a great voice too. I also love Tina's original version. But Matt makes it so much more earthy. He adds such soul and movement within the song. Great reaction again my friend. Another Australian female singer I'd recommend you check out is Delta Goodrem. Beautiful singer, songwriter and a stunning beauty as well.
