Stan is from New Zealand. He has taken Kanye West and Chance the Rapper’s song and made it freaking timeless. This song brings tears to my eyes!!

[@missyblanks9916]

Absolutely ❣️❣️❣️

[@daveydee8401]

Hard out there's no beating this❤

[@paniaanderson1204]

His rendition of amazing grace is phenomenal

[@ViolentGenius]

Stan is 100% self taught. He is however a very religious person. I am not sure how much time he spent singing in churches but he is Maori, and we tend to spend a lot of time singing on the marae and amongst all our cousins. Most maoris (like all pacific islanders) can sing to some extent and I think that stems from all the waiatas (songs) we learn as kids growing up. Mainly maori songs played on the guitar.

[@jessyjay8051]

Maori boy from Aotearoa New Zealand. Natural talent that chased his dream to be a successful artist in NZ. Stan is a humble character who comes from a family that battles cancer. He himself has a survival story battling cancer. He is a beautiful man with a phenomenal voice ❤

[@wildthornrose]

I've watched so many reactions, and I'm so happy that FINALLY someone mentioned that badass bass riff! 😄

[@antsxpants1244]

Str8 up fam, can't get enough of it

[@kurahoani2874]

Aye the band

[@tunein2rissa]

I was going crazy for the keys😭 Finally someone mentions it!!! and that riff is insaneee fr!

[@MARYBOORMAN]

WHAT A JOY TO WATCH THE AMAZEMENT on people's faces when they first discover STAN WALKER and especially THIS SONG! NZ Maori Australian Idol winner from 2016. Now living back home in New Zealand. Best male voice ever! :-)

[@nikismith1871]

Stan is the MAN!!! Dallas T from Fat Freddies Drop got that good vibe too

[@bigt1699]

New Zealand baby

[@laestess9628]

This was originally written by Kanye West, then Stan rearranged and resung by Stan. Power house annointed. His musician and backup singer are on another level.

[@hmmmyeahnahdoh823]

Stan not only takes you to church (Amazing Grace), he'll take you to the studio (Inside Out), concert stage (The Christchurch Symphony Orchestra - Don't Dream It's Over Live), the Club (The One You Want), Maori Culture (He Kakano Ahau), at home with the whanau (family/cousins aka How Great Thou Art) or just chillin like most Kiwi's (Take It Easy).

[@stevedimakis7403]

The man Stan Walker! Aotearoa’s finest! Highly recommend checking out the Crowded House cover Stan and The Levites did at that same session! Kia Ora from Aotearoa New Zealand

[@hcampbell404]

Hey Mr Boyd you might a,so be interested to know Stan sings without a stomach after an operation due to stomach cancer. He is an amazing survivor who just lets the spirit flow through him when he sings. A blessing to us all ❤❤❤❤❤

[@hcampbell404]

Loved your reaction by the way. So nice to hear all the parts of the band highlighted too. The drummer was also amazing! So hard to make a sparse beat work like that

[@missyblanks9916]

Absolutely 💯 He can’t be stopped💪🏾

[@RaaAustin-xv5kt]

Watch this video of Stan. I AM. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3ybgIKmmr57eZY&si=yKn5qMfPvkiNx6b5

[@nvwcj22]

​@@hcampbell404totally agree! The drummer is amazing!!! Glad someone mentioned him. So talented!

[@CrispyChips007]

I just got stevie knight too react too this song now you doing it. your a legend. had the pleasure of meeting him on a couple occasions in my own home town. cant get a more down too earth guy. but he can also sing with the best of them.

[@berserkeradventures1859]

That's on brother love ur comment Kiaora kautou katoa

[@nikkil2580]

OMG I loved your reaction SO MUCH! Right?! I have been totally obsessed with this since I saw it about a year ago and we need to share so everybody sees this flawless performance. His version of Amazing Grace will make you cry. Wanna see something else special? Please check out our unofficial Aussie National Treasure John Farnham covering the Beatles' Help with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. You'll wonder how you survived without it. Subscribing in anticipation ❤

[@angelebeniamina3966]

Stan’s a national treasure in Aotearoa, NZ. But his personality makes you feel like he’s one of the cuzzys (cousins) he’s so humble, down to earth & funny! I attended a church service once where he was a special guest and he kindly asked everyone, please don’t take photos of me I’m happy to do that after church but for now we’re in the house of God so let’s keep our focus on him… like who does that? No one! He’s been one my most fav artists ever since ❤ And what you hear is exactly how he sounds in live performances too

[@chantellesimpson1832]

I need a bigger LOVE button!!!!! Thank you for reacting to Stan!!!! Fantastic reaction. You should hear his Amazing Grace! Much love from Melbourne Australia here. Thanks again! Keep up the awesome reactions 😁🔥

[@moarijoewana]

Do his live Amazing grace with the levites please🙏🙏🙏

[@bex6358]

Another gem we have is Guy Sebastian battlescar live at the homefront!! Def a must see! 💙🐨

[@HeeniKeke]

Love loved your reaction. Exactly how I felt when I first heard this…Stan is incredible…and I def agree that you need to hear his rendition of Amazing Grace…prepare to be blown out of the water again

[@atoyanesbitt7772]

Lmao when you can’t do anything but listen and have the stank face because you’re literally SPEECHLESS. I heard this for the first time last night 9/18/23…everything time I listen to it I have the same reaction. Not to mention the goosebumps. The vocals are AMAZING, FLAWLESS, & EFFORTLESS. They definitely have a new fan in me. ❤❤❤

[@mirtieraczo5842]

This is my favorite reaction of yours. I love watching reactors discover Stan Walker. The man can just sang, and yes, I meant sang with an "a". Check out his rendition of "Amazing Grace".

[@Tha_Kid_Oldwun]

Your reaction is what this video needs. Thank you! KZbin Stan Walker. He is a established Australian & New Zealand recording artist of Maori decent. Pop, R&B, Gospel and WORLD music. Stan is a South Pacific Living Legend.

[@adriangrace4649]

He is so amazing I have played him all day and cried😢😢😢God never makes junk. There all amazing

[@keahibaby808]

OMG I loved your reactions since yours to EZMilz but as a Hawaiian i’m so glad you finally made your way to some Polynesian artist! Stan is a LEGEND. If you like this you gotta listen to his Valentines Medley with Vince Harder and his Tennessey Whiskey cover and his How Great Thou Art cover they go CRAZY!

[@TJ-hk7ns]

I love your reaction because mine was exactly the same!! I can’t stop listening too this song! It’s absolutely beautiful, breathtaking! 🤎🖤❤️

[@theresataylor688]

Stan Walker actually wrote this song for the movie "Origin " as Ava Devaney ask of him. She literally tracked him down specifically bc of his vocals and sound he provides. Amazing !!!!!

[@Teriteri22]

This song Always gives me chills ❤ amazing reaction

[@zanic3947]

Not exactly he is from New Zealand but was discovered on Australian Idol, he has some great songs, he also beat cancer a few years back.

[@karanemaphillips7809]

If you haven’t already, you should listen to the original “ultralight beam” from Kanye. I LOVE Stan’s rendition

[@Samoanchappie]

Amazing grace by Stan 🔥🔥🔥 trust me bro ur mind 🤯😁

[@hiriathomson1760]

Stan Walker is just pure talent and proud to be Maori so proud of and about time the world I ows who he is and his pure talent

[@natashahaira2356]

Your facial change when those backups did they thanggggg was a spot on reaction lol!! Also, his must sees, He kakano Ahau (Maori lyrics incl) and Purple Rain but to be fair, this is my absolute fav from him. Stans from New Zealand but lived in Aus, won Australian Idol!

[@tmahue9541]

❤❤❤ thanks for the reaction. We love Stan so much. He is the MAN! I'd love to see your reaction to his cover of "Don't dream it's over" or his song "I am the colour". Have a nice day xx

[@bojrip]

In 2009, Stan Walker was the winner of the seventh season of Australian Idol. He subsequently signed a recording contract with Sony Music Australia. He sings Christian (Amazing Grace) & secular music (Tenessee Whiskey). Beautiful voice.

[@esteban280889]

Nz represent. More nz artists please

[@jdw9397]

His cover of Amazing Grace is amazing! He just released his new song I Am which he wrote for a movie that is coming out soon. It is POWERFUL! A must watch! Loved your reaction too! I was blown away the first time I heard him too👍

[@ngataihuata7795]

Stan Walker is a Maori from Aotearoa New Zealand ...He is the best of our contemporary Maori Singers ..... Most Maori and other Polynesians are awesome singers and we are natural at harmonies, B.V.'s and Choir Choral singing ... After we were visited and welcomed Bob Marley back in 1979 ... Bob Left a huge imprint on our music and messages - kaupapa (issues) music and the legacy he left with us on our music spawned borning of original awesome reggae music with kaupapa messages genre , into Aotearoa - NZ, to the point when other original Reggae Leaders/bands visiting Aotearoa - NZ these days are all impressed by the songs of our reggae bands compositions, performance of those songs musically and especially our harmonic vocals we get these gifts through our culture and our ancestors with several polynesian and western - English languages. Hip Hop Rap is a current addition by our artists especially in all our languages ... !! Mean az!! Our Reo Māoori is currently booming throughout NZ as our culture was based upon Haka and Chanting .. an oral tradition. !! The B.V.'s that are impressive to us backing Stans Lead Vocal enhances the total harmonic, the Wairua - SOUL , the power and beauty of his cover version of Kanye West's Song UltralLight Beam!

[@jandrury125]

Thanks for posting this info (from a fellow kiwi )

[@MichaelJohnson-zh3wr]

I love the realisation once the back up singers come in. That’s how I felt too when I first heard it

[@StGimbles]

Hell yeah it's a Gospel song, a Kanye West gospel song at that. the original features Chance the Rapper, Kirk Franklin, Kelly Price, & The-Dream

[@christinachavez5459]

❤ yes, ty Kanye!!

[@jandrury125]

I joined your patron with the intention of requesting this. I'm rapt that you've reacted to it. There is no doubt it is special and very affecting ❤ He's a fellow kiwi (New Zealander....not the fruit😊) Amazing Grace/I surrender should be next on your list. Gospel is only one side of his music. There is more...try "Bigger" for example. He has an amazing back story...from a difficult abusive childhood to stomach cancer and surrender to God...an absolutely talented inspiration ❤

[@quinjesuis9187]

Awesome 💛 absolutely 💎

[@trishst]

Gotta check out his rendition of Amazing Grace 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@trishst]

Also, Stan is from our beautiful country New Zealand 😊 He also won Australian Idol in 2009 👏🏾 check out his documentary, he’s come a very long way 😮‍💨

[@user-ge1nk5lz5d]

He is blessed with the DNA of his Tipuna as we all are. Ngati Harty ✊🏽

[@rayjermyn4541]

I have always valued your reactions, this one speaks to me. You're a good person

[@mzhapa]

I love watching people discover Stan .. he will def take you on a journey ❤ God Bless

[@RK-uz3ow]

awesome reaction! i laughed the whole way through this because it is exactly how so many of us felt the first time we heard this ♥

[@gloriacotton421]

I so enjoyed your reactions!!!!!

[@cherrycola8217]

Definitely recommend checking out Stan Walker and the Levites cover of 'Don't dream it's over.'

[@haleyanderson573]

Wow, that's an amazing performance 👏

[@claytonkingi8362]

Respect brother from New Zealand

[@ryanburton4759]

Amazing grace

[@haze4451]

Speaking as a Maori, in our Maori culture we have a deep love, respect and spiritual connection to God, our family and our land (again in a spiritual capacity first before physical). Song is very much embedded into our culture (like many) which tells stories, bonds family to each other and many other purposes. Rhythm and song like African Americans, is very much in us, not taught, is a natural part of our being. Of course some are more blessed and talented than others, like Stan Walker, the backup vocalists and musicians witnessed here, who are outstanding! Gospel beliefs are very much paralleled to our culture, hence the spiritual depth he/they manifest through their beautiful performances and selves. They are connecting naturally through accomplished singing etc, but it is more an intense positive feeling/emotion you experience before you can analyse the physical performance itself, that is gospel, spiritual experiences that connect with your soul that are truely uplifting through the medium of song and the blessed talent.

[@kahutenana5696]

You are right. Yes he did sing in the church. But go watch his Australian Idol audition. Hes born in New Zealand, but lived in Australia, and moved home to New Zealand. Go watch the audition, and you will know his talent is all him. Self taught.

[@celestelittek7360]

Thank you for promoting our national treasure ❤ Key line all lives will matter when black lives matter 😢❤

[@kevriley5342]

Yeah the bassist omg !!

[@denellahohaia769]

[@leilafaletau8042]

Love your reaction! Stan and his back up singers are Polynesian descent. There’s so much talent within the Polynesians and interestingly enough most self taught including Stan!

I am so glad you finally got to Mr Walker, I absolutely love your reactions to the music you react to but today I subscribed thank you

[@skylagaaia1683]

Fantastic reaction, I have seen a few of your reactions, and you’ve always pointed out little things that you may have felt, could’ve been different, but this is the first reaction of yours, where you’ve sat back and enjoyed from the start, right up to 01:50 mark, where the harmonies dropped, and your face changed, and the brief loss of speech was evident, as the thought you had of Stan’s amazing voice, and band of ‘it couldn’t get any better’…and then it did!!!!…thanks for this hilarious and awesome reaction😂😂😂👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@evelynscott-hawkins4115]

Your response is awesomr😊
