• STAN WALKER -Ultraligh...

[@jevaughnreynolds6075]

Stan is a survivor. His cancer story is one to know about. He overturned each turmoil obstacles that came his way. He sings like this for a REASON

[@iZombi]

he was singing good before cancer was an issue, he just has a different sight on gratitude now

[@spndrtwentythree5239]

His just superstar whom has God's hand on him.

[@matavaipili4234]

And he breaths that way

[@waiZ54]

@Azza Zaaz i think they mean with his whole upbringing too… he has real soul in his singing & that has to do with his upbringing & his culture.

[@I_AM_ALL_THAT_WAS]

Thanks for sharing that. I’ve watched him since Aussie idol days and didn’t know this about him. He is a warrior. A survivor.

[@neol2535]

Sir!! I'm a medical student...and when you started talking about the muscles?!?!?!?!?! I let out a yelp! COME ON ANATOMY!!!🤣🤣

[@jmlegrairstudio]

I love this. 😂🤌🏾 I’m just glad I was accurate!

[@neol2535]

@@jmlegrairstudio you were 🤞🏽😂

[@mteokay1246]

@@jmlegrairstudio reason he breaths higher coz he was diagnosed with stomach cancer back in 2017 and had his stomach removed. This was followed by chest infection and a collapsed lung, then removal of appendix. His stomach cancer is rare but it's via a gene that runs in the family , and had claimed other family members.

[@devince-johricio3987]

Same🤣🤣 as an EMS student I was like “GO CRAZY”🤣

[@stephanielisaholder9820]

To sing without a stomach, survive hereditary cancer and find new notes to express is amazing. This song is powerful.

[@tylynn256]

If he sings like this without a stomach I can work my one vocal cord out! This is a blessing

[@justlikecarbon]

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord

[@jevaughnreynolds6075]

He doesn’t have any stomach, thus he unintentionally uses his thoracic and diaphragmatic region to breathe. It’s funny you notice that such in reality he doesn’t have any stomach. That’s why I trust your analysis 💯

[@cookiec1803]

@jmgrairstudio

[@Socialshug]

Took my words. 😉 For anyone who hasn’t seen his documentary, it is a must see. 💖

[@cassandraanoai4034]

If he doesn’t have a stomach at all, where does he hold food and liquids he consumes? How does the digested food get into the rest of his digestive system?

[@Nursemeliame]

⁠@@cassandraanoai4034 you can live without a stomach. The stomach is responsible for only breaking down food we consume. The small intestine is the most IMPORTANT structure that is responsible for absorbing nutrients/vitamins from what we eat in order to be used as energy. They’ve reconstructed his small intestine to connect with his oesophagus. He would be on a high energy/high protein diet. This is because it takes time to digest enabling his small intestine to absorb nutrients from it. Overall, the health outcome from this type of surgery is very successful.

[@XxToasterFlakezxX]

That drummer was so fucking good

[@cptight88]

Stan Walker is NO JOKE. Definitely react to more of him. His covers of "Amazing Grace," "Dont Dream It's Over" and "Gravity" are niiice.

[@zcal01]

Also a cover of Prince's Purple Rain, Tennessee Whiskey and try one of his own Tua

[@user-wz4hr5xu4k]

yes and his breathing is that way because he had his stomach removed from cancer - That's why he uses other parts of his body to support his breathing. Which means that sustaining those notes in the way that he has and does, makes him even more phenomenal. Thanks for the information.

[@MARYBOORMAN]

Listen to him sing "It's A Man's World" on AUstralian Idol show. It's on KZbin.

[@melbuck194]

This is a pleasant surprise. From the lead, to the background and the instrumental, they kill it! 10s across the board!

[@WILLIS274MAD4JESUS]

The background singers are a group called THE STANDARD (Nate Peseta, Lilo & Ani Asiata [Married Couple]) they have individual videos on all socials

[@marievoiceteacher]

Yes, I was lucky enough to sing with them in Auckland Gospel Choir and they are so good all of them, especially Nate he's a beast!

[@mediamamachick]

Thank you for recognizing the background singers and naming them. This is a vocal salute to all of them. Oh and let's give props to the band too.

[@juice_km01]

Have they changed their name? They were the Levite’s prior

[@WILLIS274MAD4JESUS]

[@allegralockett1567]

Thank you for this information. They were outstanding 👏🏾.

[@Necoh]

So apparently someyears back he had stomach cancer and his stomach was removed. With all that happened with surgery and his battle, he had to learn to breathe again. This must have to be the reason behind what you're seeing with his higher breathing. You have the eye!

[@Necoh]

And ear! 😉

[@preecygirl]

Can confirm he had his stomach removed Due to cancer This guy is on point

[@namtiddies_parrapio_787]

Stan is such an underrated singer although popular in NZ he really deserves to go worldwide

[@MARYBOORMAN]

Not nowadays he is not. We Canadian Kiwis introduced him to Canadians and Americans over here. Stan is by far one of the best male vocalists around today.

[@Thunda1986]

He chose not to be in the spotlight

[@4bfam]

You just introduced me to someone new and I'm happy you did. This guy s voice is outstanding and the brighter he got , the more I liked. Lol. His head voice is just so sweet. The back up singers, musicians, all just incredible!!

[@Karaibaby1]

You must watch Stan Walker “Don’t dream it’s over” as I’m sure you will love too 😊

[@sophiahubbard7417]

He has no stomach and is able to sing like that is true anointing from God. True Gift

[@juliehoskin8412]

That's our Stan the man from New Zealand we are all very proud of him he's been through so much but he came out stronger, we love our Stan, you should check out him singing Amazing Grace.

[@marydavis5700]

I appreciate you so much. There’s a lot of ‘vocal coaches’ and ‘voice trainers’ on YT that can’t place notes, can’t identify between chest, head and stomach. And their feedback is just ‘his voice went really low because of the pitch of the note of the tone of his voice’ and ‘wow this is nice because his voice is good and toned’

[@tomdotcomproductions5163]

Welcome to New Zealands talent .. 💯 alot of great singers in our small country

[@reginalddithapo7922]

On the innanets😂❤

[@Gitanarosa]

In his documentary, he wondered if he could ever sing again. He lost many people to stomach cancer and had his stomach removed.

[@MARYBOORMAN]

Hey Jaron - Stan Walker won Austalian Idol back a few years ago when living in Australia - he is NZ Maori and his band are The Levites - each of whom has a superb voice as you have witnessed. They are Christian followers and extremely reverent and spiritual. Michael Buble was on the Australian Idol show and coaching Stan on one of his performances - he said "God has kissed your throat man!" The judges said he could sing the phone book. He has the voice of an angel. I think my all-time favourite male vocalist and next would be Teddy Swims! :-) Glad you got turned onto his music. Everything he sings is GOLD.

[@TreDa3rd]

I been waiting on you to react to this video! Stan is a beast with those vocals! AND THOSE BACKGROUND SANGERS!!!!!!

[@dageeman]

I'm not much for analyzers or reactors. They mainly give you what you already know, just in an extended for of their own words. You truly broke this song and performers down in almost forensic form. I enjoyed your obvious professionalism in teaching us the mechanics of singing while enjoying the spiritual nature of the song. It still gives me warmth and chills at the same time. Thank you for your insight. I am now a subscriber.

[@Linknla]

Child yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas they killed it omg!!!!!! new artist for apple music and yes! them background singer was fire!!!

Yoooo, I’ve been binge watching Stan walker reactions all week lmao. The whole time I was thinking “I’m surprised Jaron hasn’t reacted to this”. Lo and behold lmao. I stg, I be manifesting things😂 great analysis vid uce💙

[@hey34]

It was a matter of time before you got to Stan, fam can sang. And he surrounds himself with people he KNOWS can sing too without fear/jealousy/insecurity.

[@shesopolkcounty3895]

Now they were SANGING!! ALL OF THEM!! YESS LAWD!

[@wildlifegardenssydney7492]

Stan Walker’s voice is astonishingly great.I love absolutely everything he does musically. The Levites backing here is gorgeous. When Stan was on Australian Idol at 16 Michael Buble was one of the tutors for a week….when Buble spoke about Stan he said…. I have got nothing to teach him…..his voice is way better than mine……Stan won Australian Idol at 16. When Stan sang Prince’s Purple Rain , (I am also a huge Prince fan) I was gobsmacked with just how soulful and good he sounded. Stan has had so much adversity growing up amongst violence SA, DV, drugs and then his stomach cancer and his stomach removed……yet he has survived it all , and just grows better and better…it is insane….and he is super positive and grateful and loving to his wife, young family and mother. He is just so soulful….I love his music and I love his soul.

[@ngawai5916]

Stan was 19 when he won Australian idol, 18 when he auditioned 19 when he won. He was born 1990 his season on Australian idol aired 2009 😊.

Im know vocal scholar, but I love how he can put his voice wherever he wants it. The background vocals are all that, im glad you waited for all three before your comment. Your interpretations and reditions are spot on. I wish I could sing like yall sad😭

[@kenglasson2920]

Watch him sing Amazing Grace

[@BelikeAngel1121]

Omg I'm so glad you explained the breathing process. I always felt my breathing when singing was a little higher and it always scared me even though I never felt any tension in my jaw or neck. But I also loved this performance!

[@MSILBB]

Whether known or unknown, there is African lineage here, Samoans, Tongans, Māori etc have African ancestry. It’s very hard to authentically tap into this sort of channeling/energy without it as Black/African American music is made from it and requires a very specific source/connection to produce the energy but also the type of sound/voice needed; it’s what makes it powerful and we can always tell the difference when it’s forced imitation/mimicry (non-Blacks who grew up around Blacks, listened to Black music etc) vs an authentic connection. Very well done. And to others commenting who are having issues with his analysis, he can judge/critique. This is his (Jaron’s) culture.

[@bernardalgarin6909]

It's crazy that Stan is a self taught singer. That is God given!!

[@jessicacalalay5534]

Yaaas! This is what I have been waiting for. Please do his Amazing Grace/I surrender 🙏 You are so great, Jaron.
