God I love her voice

[@adrienneellul4102]

Love that you're allowing us Aussies to be heard. You're a champ 🏆 👍

[@julzhunt7790]

Just some more Aussie talent😁

[@julzhunt7790]

Don’t think you’re ever gonna be disappointed with our Aussie talent. 😁

[@markferguson8075]

The talent we have in our country for our small population is just awesome, we have something in the air,water and food down here,,, it would be great if you could come down here and maybe work with some of them,,, maybe even do a song with Jimmy. :)

[@HelenBeeee]

There is a scary amount of Australian female singers that come before and after as well as the same time as her Rickilee is a wonderfully talented singer glad you are getting to discover the hidden talents :)

[@nikkolia]

Ricki Lee is one of many people to flunk out of the finals of Australian Idol and then absolutely KILL it outside of that competition. She's phenomenal.

[@theghost6412]

not really flunk, although if i remember correctly she might of had her name on the chopping block anyway, but she had a throat infection that affected her voice and she was told by her doctor to bail.

[@margymckenzie7417]

she was in the same series as guy sebastian i think

[@Dr_KAP]

@@margymckenzie7417nah she was on the second season of Idol (2004). Casey Donovan won that year and Anthony Callea was runner up although I thought he should have won!

[@therickilee]

🥰🥰🥰

[@bonneengwerda2291]

how have i never heard this song before?

[@C509NorthernTerritory]

Damn. I ignorantly never realised just how good her voice is. That upper register raspiness is absolutely fantastic.

[@TheStabbyGinger]

She's also bloody hilarious and super down to earth, the type of chick you wanna have a drink with ... one of my favourite Aussie Divas for sure x

[@eclecticapoetica]

Aussie singers… One of the well known effects of being raised on vegemite is the way it develops your vocal cords and diaphragm.

[@jadecawdellsmith4009]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jadecawdellsmith4009]

I wish my parents didn't raise me on mightymite(poor version of Vegemite) maybe id've had a chance too....oh well the neighbours don't complain about my warbling (well not to my face anyway🤣)

[@babymullen04]

Don’t know about a singing voice, but I definitely have the raspy voice from being raised on vegemite 😀

[@blueenglishstaffybreeder6956]

Shit bro that’s funny, kinda wish I thought of that one

[@ianmontgomery7534]

she's a Kiwi.

[@JoSedunary]

One more tidbit of info ... the song was co written by Ricki Lee... and this is the original take. She decided to not refine the vocals and leave that raw 'cry' because it was 'real'... such a great vocalist...

[@MrBrettley]

I heard that too

[@outlawlass]

Met Ricki many years ago back just an awesome chick with a voice to match. The amount of flack she coped about her appearance over her career is crazy. But she has always stayed true to herself.

[@LCM8992]

There was that time an Aussie designer gifted her a custom gown for her wedding, and instead of crediting the actual designer, she claimed that it was made by a French atelier ..

[@stevewood1969]

Australia ..... it's the Vegemite man ! Hahaha

[@KandMe1]

Ricki Lee is way underrated. That is a world class singing voice.

[@nineteen96]

Australian artists are so underrated, man.

[@noone6559]

What I love mate, is that you are learning Australian artists, those that are successful to us, have no auto-tune, no production/edit gimmicks..... we here in Australia love natural artists.... if you can't sing, don't be here lol... that's why we love Pink - amazing vocalist who got into Aussie culture and adores us.....

[@dolfyn73]

Except for Kylie, she's auto-tuned & over produced up the wazoo!

[@reeree1313]

@@dolfyn73yep agreed

[@sandrarafter234]

Rickie Lee is Beautiful on the inside and out . Only one Rickie Lee in this world . We are so lucky to have her!

[@chilipeppa7359]

She was beautiful and so is her voice. I still listen to her

[@Pipes-gh2oo]

Ricky’s natural voice is musical; her tone is how she talks... she may not have the range of some “elite” singers but boy o’ boy, she nails what she knows.

[@skidman5111]

another great aussie singer

[@dhamma58]

When she sang that short section acapella, her voice choice right then reminded me of Janis Joplin...my first exposure to her, so thanks to the other commenters for the info and bio!

[@susanstavrou4232]

Shes been quiet, as she's just had a baby, another great Aussie ❤❤❤❤

[@kreid2340]

Ricki Lee doesn’t have any children.

[@jorice5528]

I am so freakin happy & honestly got emotional watching & listening to Ricki Lee - to see the growth, confidence and beautiful peace she was oozing from her soul - what a bloody great song, superbly performed - felt every bit of it 💕💕💕💕 and your reaction Nick…just spot on 🙏

[@BryanParnell]

She was on Australian Idol, season 2. Casey Donovan won it ahead of Anthony Callea that year but she was my favourite.

[@chrisofmelbourne87]

Exactly! Was that 2005? Or 2004?

[@monicaking2140]

Nice, never heard this really like it, thanks

[@m0nm0n]

I always thought she should have won too

[@JoSedunary]

@@chrisofmelbourne87 Yep...2004

[@JoSedunary]

@@m0nm0n That was a really good year - I had money on Anthony

[@miboogaroo]

Thank you to whomever suggested this, I haven't listened to Ricki for a while but this is a beautiful song.

[@davidhandson2429]

I new of Ricki and new she could sing but DAM I didn't know she could sing like that.

[@jbstubes3381]

Severely underrated

[@raywindred5419]

I love listening to good singers and in my 70 years, Ricki Lee, is one of my favorites. My daughter is an Opera Singer, and this helps me to recognize a quality voice. Go Ricki Lee. 🥰🇦🇺

[@shausable]

Ricki-Lee is just an awesome person man.. like she's very friendly, modest, obviously gorgeous and just great to be around and see perform. She's got that rare trait where she can match the energy of the environment she performs in.. she can go all in, or she can be mellow at like Christmas concerts with kids and yeah plays to her audience. One of my favs.

[@tomicadugandzic1721]

Dammeeeeeee why is this not no1 in the charts, just awesome performance and song.

[@20flstfi01]

Ricki is amazing

[@beccalamour6974]

One of my fave songs and singers.

[@bradleyedwards9244]

Wow, l had no idea she is that good !!!!! Thanks to the person who requested this amazing song. It's been a stinking hot day ...yet again....here in Perth Western Australia but I'm sitting here with goose bumps. Oh Ricky your so fine............

[@MrBrettley]

You're welcome :P

[@tonyrowe9612]

AUSTRALIA HAS SOUL, AUSTRALIA HAS BUCKET LOADS OF TALENT.

[@MandyRRAh]

She had a big hit in 2007 with a song "Can't Touch It"( remixed for Europe and called U Wanna Little of This). I have often heard it used on TV shows. It doesn't show off what she can do vocally. It is a great example of what she can do in the straight pop genre.

[@hollygranger3734]

That song was in The Sex and The City movie.

[@stevemurrell6167]

Ricki was in the Oz Idol series that was won by Casey Donavan.....check out Casey, she has a phenomenal voice....power and grace.

[@Cesna69]

Luv me some Ricki Lee. She needs to be promoted in the US.

[@annagrimaldi3301]

Such an amazing singer that has copped so much scrutiny over the years. Powerful and raspy voice!

[@randomkrap917]

Another UNDERATED singer

[@justlinsu]

Who is she? Just another Aussie battler trying to get her music out there.....Amazing vocals...beautiful heart...Thank you Dominic for 'reacting' to this brilliant performance from Ricki Lee. The Australian music industry is one hard nut to crack. She deserves more recognition in her own country...sad that so many artists are ignored.

[@that70sgirl17]

Well I'll be damned. Your channel has made me re-think so many singers. I didn't know Ricki could be so engaging and impressive. It's like this is how she was always meant to be shown. The near-sighted Australian Idol producers and the shallow and fickle radio machine tried to market her as a pop princess without any substance and it always seemed off to me. When really, she's a natural performer who shines all on her own without all the added fluff. I always knew she had a surprisingly good voice but I've never seen it utilised like this. I also would much rather watch her natural hand movements and instinctive subtle dance moves rather than the choreography she displayed in the "You cant touch this" vid. I really enjoyed this.

[@vickigreen9545]

Rikki-Lee is really tall and was a promising netball player as a teenager (think basketball) but blew out her knee at 15 yrs old and started to focus on her music instead, which is nice for us all

[@dazereigh]

Thank you so much for you. Your joy has reignited my joy in music, I haven’t listened to anything for years.

[@briangill4000]

Wow. I remember her on Idol quiet a few years ago... Man she was good then but she is awesome now.

[@NeilBlanco]

Ah nice Nick. Ricki Lee is another Australian Idol kid from back when Anthony Callea and Casey Donovan were in it so she had pretty stiff competition that year. She was one of those people that as soon as you saw her you knew she was destined to be a star...

[@craigroyle860]

She can sing. Like lots of people.

[@sueaddison9958]

The gorgeous Ricki Lee❤️ she is another amazing Aussie. Love her. Thank you for your reaction🌏🪐🍀🌕🙏🌸🇦🇺🦋👣🦉🏡🌴🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@jeffreykennedy1266]

She definitely should have won Idol that year… I remember her doing a great cover of Michael Jackson’s ‘Billy Jean’ 👍

[@Hazza_Harding]

Yes, her voice is ridiculous. She’s a legend, a bloody legend.

[@cathybedwell1877]

Check her out singing Whitney’s I Have Nothing when she was on Idol. I had a single of hers - Sunshine - great song that had a Motown vibe to me.

[@EbuGamer1]

Oh wow! I forgot all about Ricky Lee ahah this is awesome.

[@Nah-ah]

Ha had a few drinks with Ricki Lee on the Gold Coast. She used to get up and sing at the local pubs when I lived at Burleigh. My husband got up and did a duet with her as well lol he was a little drunk but she was amazing!

[@cnoath3767]

Saw Ricki Lee before she was on Idol must have only been 16 or 17 years old she was brilliant and beautiful right from the start

[@kimberleybryant8450]

This lady is Australian singer-songwriter Ricki Lee Coulter she was on Australian idol over here in Australia and came 7th in the competition

[@robertwilliams2959]

Flunked out due to stupid viewer votes. Everybody thought she was a shoe in so didn't vote for her mid competition & tried to maintain some others. Was the standout.

You need to react to Stan walker and Ginny Blackmore singing ‘holding you’ live….you won’t regret it….

[@jadecawdellsmith4009]

I'm thinking u have more awareness appreciation (&awe maybe??) of our Aussie talent. Many of the artists u love were discovered on music talent shows but were quickly forgotten & they never quite 'made it' for whatever reasons-i can't explain it. Vocally awesome but never really made the charts or hit enough hearts. I find it baffling but am so grateful u r drawing attention to these awesome singers. And thank u 4 exposing me to other fantastic artists from around the world that I don't think I would've ever found if not for u.

[@fannoulasantourtzoglou3892]

You have the best and funniest reactions, love watching them....im always watching with a grin on my face until i burst out laughing cause you just gotta " smack someone", 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@JoSedunary]

Ricki was also part of a girl group called Young Divas which also included some other girls from Australian Idol... Jess Mauboy, Kate DeAraugo, Emily Williams, Paulini, Jess ended up replacing Ricki - the other girls are definitely worth a look Nick ... the rabbit hole is deep !!

[@bobarris]

Amen to that.

[@meganlawson4575]

I had forgotten about Kate DeAraugo

[@JoSedunary]

@@meganlawson4575 Think she had a few probs with the initial fame thing...but 3yrs in recovery (as at Feb 21) and then joined the construction industry. Shame really... great voice.

[@JJ-bs5bo]

@@JoSedunary Kate DeAraugo copped a lot of flak from judges and the public about her appearance even though she is very pretty and cool looking, she is just not a skinny type. I would love to see her sing again because she is a real natural.

[@JoSedunary]

@@JJ-bs5bo Kate was really really good... Kyle was especially opinionated with her... I doubt he'd get away with his comments now - he was the same with Paulini...and look at what an oil painting he was....not🙄 I read that Kate unfortunately got into a fairly dark place with either alcohol or substance abuse but then kicked whatever it was and went into construction ! Hopefully she'll sing in public again one day... she was a wonderful vocalist.

[@TheNotedHero]

Another day, another great reaction. Thanks Nick, you're exposing me to stuff from artists I haven't listened to in years. Australian Idol back in the day discovered a lot of fantastic singers. I think The Voice has failed by comparison as it's more a marketing game for the coaches rather than a platform for new artists, imo.

[@ThatSingerReactions]

Our voice is the same way as well

[@jadecawdellsmith4009]

I hadn't really thought much about it but yr right. The whole premise of the voice was to not b persuaded by the look & focus on the voice alone but that's not how it turned out. I could go on about MAHALIA for example, seriously how did she not go thru with that voice??? Oh because she didn't have the right look? She wasn't the skinny skinny we r thought 2 b ideal. Sorry Prinny,I love yr voice too but....hey maybe he could do a solo Prinny song...

This was one of my favorite songs in 1981. Had I had a girl baby that would have been her name. But my sister had her baby 4 months before I had mine and she use the name. It bothered me but it didn't because her name was Richard and it was both their first baby

So many of these these "Australian" artists are Kiwis - Ricki Lee included. Maybe there's something magical about Middle Earth, maybe its because having to cross the Tasman filters them. As an Aussie: more than happy to host them.

I find it sad that it's so hard for Australian artists these days. In the years before the 2000's it was hard to crack the overseas market, but we totally got behind Aussie artists here. Now it's hard to even have huge success here, it's all about overseas artists. Love Ricki Lee, I would put her talent right up there with Adele, and certainly above Taylor Swift, but that's just me, don't anyone kill me.
