[@ge_mig_nat_som_kanns]

Eminem is a poet. Amazing lyricist! Give him a good honest chance. Dysfunctional relationships, core wounds, generational trauma, addiction, autism, codependency, mental illness, bullying, poverty, the list goes on. But also, hope, strength, and a 12-step program doing its work. Truely amazing storyteller.

Eminem is a great lyricist. This was always my fave of his, always loved the story behind the lyrics Kasey absolutely smashes it and totally puts a different feel to it.

[@JM-rl1hf]

When she changed it up during the 3rd verse it really represented the “I was playing in the beginning” line perfectly. It made me think about the original in a different way. She really showcased what a great songwriter Eminem is.

[@ScruffyIsMyName]

Eminem talked about going back to his daughter in the trailer. Kasey was the daughter in the trailer, and now she's on stage performing with her father. She doesn't just feel the lyrics, she's lived them.

[@brin57]

I've watched 4 reactions to this today and each time brought me to tears !!! In 20 years mixing live shows I've never seen as good a cover or performance !!

[@kane29842]

About to sound like a ‘back in my day’ type, but this is exactly the authenticity and naked rawness that modern music production strives so hard to remove completely from published works. Uninteresting backing tracks and vocals autotuned to the point of homogenisation will never hit anywhere near as hard as something like this.

[@iankearns774]

Yep, not a lot of music coming out these days does much for me. I grew up in the 70's and early 80's and I think we were spoilt for choice. Then the record label gurus decided to dumb music down and produce what I describe as modern day elevator music or plain garbage where the video clip is more important than the words and music. TBH Kasey Chambers to me was just a pop country artist with a couple hits in the early 2000's but this track woke me up and I have since gone back and listened to a few of her albums. She is very underrated and deserves more accolades and success than she has got.

[@jemxs]

Kasey is an Aussie icon. An amazing singer with such a beautiful country/blue grass voice and is a very talented artist. She pours her soul into her singing, she gives everything to her story and she creates a picture of life Casey style. She left herself on the floor, nothing left in the tank, her heart and soul all out for all too see.

[@Twinkle_Toes88]

I’m so in love with this version of the song!!❤ so powerful ❤. I’m from Texas and the hardships come from working off the land, crops or livestock 🤠 we have to let it out!! This lady is AMAZING!!!!

[@ShadowAussie]

Before her family went full time into the music industry they lived in a 'mobile home' travelling the desert from July 1976 where the parents hunted foxes and rabbits for pelts during seven or eight months a year, spanning nine years. During the "hot months" (generally from November to March) they returned to Southend, South Australia, where her family owned a fish and chip shop for a time. She knows.

[@amandacasey1946]

Best reaction. I've watched a lot of others. Some just say they didn't enjoy the first part and that it was really good and surprising once it heated up, but you really got the emotion of it, and explained things about her voice, and how she put everything into the whole song. What Kasey did to this song is just brilliant. She really made it her own, and yes, the lyrics can be heard, so we can see what a great writer Eminem is. I never get tired of seeing reaction videos to this version by Kasey. She absolutely took it to somewhere completely different and amazing 🤩

[@bigs1546]

She almost keens in this. The 1st half is all the defeated emotion of the song, then the switch up when is when in 8 Mile you see him get serious about the final showdowns. So much raw emotion, and Kasey does that so well. Let's not forget this was a Country Artist's audience watching her rendition of a Rap song - and you could hear a pin drop in the 1st half !

[@eclecticapoetica]

I first saw Kasey Chambers live in a club auditorium in Canberra. It was before she started her solo career and she was fronting the Dead Ringer Band - comprised of he mum and dad and her brother Nash (Her Dad Bill is a great fan and interpreter of American Roots, traditional and alternative country) They had scheduled a 3rd concert as 2 in that venue had sold out - Mainly because we had been plugging them relentlessly on local community radio. That night a massive storm hit Canberra, roofs came off, cars were blown off the roads, power-lines went down - and I was one of about 35 people who made it to the concert, which went ahead as planned because the Dead Ringers don’t let their fans down. Kasey sang, like a gritty heartbroken angel, with relentless soul, and I sat there with my mouth open most of the time, with tears and laughter - her voice can open you like a can-opener and tip out all the contents. The first review I ever wrote on the internet was about Kasey Chambers. I don’t remember what else I said - But I did say that Kasey is the ONE. She doesn’t know how to hold back. Yes, I’m a fan - and this shows exactly why…

[@Ragdollsandroses]

The thing that strikes me is as you said Kasey is allowing the ugly to come through and not hiding it. -She knows the power in the ugly and authentic and there is a time and place to cover and make things beautiful and then other times to let the ugly come through and be visible. I think this comes with age. I cant imagine this performance would be as powerful with a younger woman singing it.

[@savitrisdisciple]

Thank you so much for this one Beth, Kasey deserves all the support in the world. She's a legend here in Aus, and has a large catalogue of music to back it up.

[@LudoTechWorld]

As much as I love folk, country music get on my nerve (I don't understand why, I have nothing against it) so I was worried when you mentioned she was a country singer, and then this happens, a pure raw artistic expression pulverizing the part of my brain which thinks living without categorizing is impossible to go straight to the emotional one. That was so great!

[@toddeeee]

Good country music is poetry. Dolly Parton spits bars (just read the lyrics to 9 to 5). Chris Stapleton tells a story so efficiently. Eminem is an amazing lyricists. This blend is a perfect marriage. It brings so much power to an already powerful song.

As a singer/songwriter, I find this incredible inspiring. If you’ve got the passion , it doesn’t matter what instrument you’re playing!

[@Cyannah117]

Thanks for doing this one! Kasey is very under appreciated and needs to be recognised more on an international scale! Kasey is a master of storytelling, conveying lyrics and emotion! She is an icon in the Australian music industry, mostly for country and folk, but has her own style and is never afraid to delve into something outside the box. She is just getting better as she gets older. I really hope that Eminem has seen this and appreciates that his song and lyrics were re-imagined in such a spectacular way. Where else would you see banjo, pedal steel guitar and rock band together? Kasey started her solo commercial career around the same time as Eminem and she was a big fan of his music. Kasey spent lockdown playing around with some of her favourite songs and this version of Lose Yourself is the result. Brilliant! Kasey has spent her whole solo career bucking the constraints of the record companies and always gone her way. She made it to the top in Aussie music anyway with many awards, becoming the youngest ever ARIA Hall of Fame recipient. BTW….how was Lose Yourself for breath and vocal control? Not to mention the awesome arrangement. ❤ Also, that was Kasey’s Dad, Bill, on the steel guitar.

What an amazing piece of art. Starting as quiet and soft yet emotional, only to drop into raw, sweaty and gritty. Kasey makes no attempt to hide from her emotions, the mark of a true artist. Her band delivers 100%. Even the use of phone footage adds to the drama. And as others have said before me, nothing equals this in today's music.

Eminem didn’t do a “cover of this song”. Not trying to sound mean or condescending, but he wrote this song about his life, while filming a movie about himself. And he put just as much pressure on himself to have a song that embodied his life and the story of the movie, as “Rabbit” did to create a future for himself in Eight Mile.

[@kenbrandon6434]

Still, I’ll admit, this is a cool version that she seems to really feel. I just happen to come from the generation of hearing and being inspired/motivated listening to Eminem’s version, so I lean to liking his more, but can’t deny how good hers is. Does remind me of how Marilyn Manson sang and changed the feel of “Sweet Dreams”, originally by the Eurythmics. It just depends on what sort of mood you’re in.

Great reaction to Kasey! Going to see her 17 Feb 2024 and really looking forward to see her do this live.

Absolutely adore your research into our Kasey's history. I used to buy fish and chips from Kasey's family shop as a young fella when hunting around Southend, South Australia. She was about 10 years my junior and even then you could tell there was something special about her. The whole of Australia is immensely proud of Kasey and her amazing musical family. That's her dad on the slide guitar. Kasey reached out to the audience and asked them to submit their phone recordings of this performance so this video could be spliced together. Probably my favorite song outside of this is Rattlin' Bones, with (now ex) hubby Shane Nicholson, which was featured in the series Hell On Wheels. One similarity occurs to me. When Trent Reznor saw/heard Johnny Cash's treatment of Hurt, he said "This is no longer my song. It belongs to Johnny." I love Eminem's song, but can't help but believe that Kasey somehow hijacked it. I'd love to know what Eminem thinks of this. I can't count how many times I've watched her video of this song or other reactors. Thanks for reacting.

I saw her at a very small club in San Francisco in the early 2000's. She was pregnant and has to stop the show after she collapsed after about 4 or 5 songs. What a great voice!
