[@zybenson3367]

Great reaction. “Ultralight Beam” please. One of the greatest male vocal performances out there right now I reckon. 😊

[@toy034]

Yes please 🙏🏽

[@SentFromMyiPwn]

The “I reckon”, gives away your bias. 😄👍🏻

[@tamatirangiuaia140]

And new light too

[@rockcityaudios6580]

Definitely Ultralight Beam!

[@kcasunxion]

Not bias if it’s the truth mate!

[@Frank-rx8ch]

Even the heavenly angels be cheering and weeping with tears of joy.

[@RogerT_XRS]

I havn't seen anyone react to this song like you have been doing, your facial expressions tell a lot about yourself and how you evaluate vocal content, simply brilliant!

[@TheKwod]

Outstanding performance by stan and the whole group. I think it was this performance that solidified my view that stan walker is one of the top 10 singers of all time.

[@georgeibrahim7945]

Stan is amazing and one of my favourite artists. Could you please react to Australian legend John Farnham singing a cover of “amazing grace” with his backup singers

[@TheKwod]

I'll second that and also mention Matt Corby did a great version of amazing grace as well.

[@alc1461]

Bethany, as good things come in threes, you should venture further into the Stan Walker & the Levites rabbit hole by reveling in the soulful gymnastics of their Ultralight Beam rendition.🔥✨

[@iZombi]

This ☝

[@nathanielrawiri7081]

100%

[@onyxaries]

Agree you will loose it trust me

[@tamatirangiuaia140]

Absolutely

[@desireeperham7093]

Yes.

[@kenglasson2920]

Yes 😁 Like so many others I could not wait to see you react to this. Stan and crew are just great. I love your reactions to Stan and ya know, they deserve it.

[@doncady9874]

That was a Blessing!Thank You.

[@tonyjk8084]

Kia ora sista, love from New Zealand, Praise be to the almighty!

[@uce_cheese7595]

Stan and the Levites have great chemistry. Also, whether you’re a believer or not, I hope their version moves you ❤ Praise God!

[@carlhenry4623]

bro i'm not religious, but that was amazing. Chur to the brother stan.

[@user-wz4hr5xu4k]

To the host, thanks for doing this reaction. I just wanted you to know that Stan had his stomach removed because of a hereditary cancer syndrome and has a KZbin video on the treatment and recovery that he endured. He was unsure if he could ever sing again. He's using other parts of his body to support his singing, an amazing feat. On another video he shares parts of his life story before winning the Australian Idol. If you ever get to watch those, you'll understand how Stan Walker is able to invoke strong feelings from his listeners with his arrangements and music. And why he has loyal fans of all age groups all across Oceania and now beyond thanks in large part to these reaction videos. So, thanks again.

[@talaoalii7]

Love your reaction and analysis of this performance. Stans Cover of Kanye's Ultralight Beam is definitely one that you don't want to miss.

[@markkapea8778]

Kia Ora Bethany, please consider a reaction of Stan Walker, I AM . This song is or has been considered for nomination for best song at the next Oscar Academy. It is so powerful it does your head in and your heart weeps. From Old man down under.

[@michelletewhata7768]

Beautiful reaction my dear❤

[@lightawake]

Please react to the live 'ultralight beam' cover, as well as his live or music video for 'i am'. These are both stupendous from start to end and your reactions are so great to watch. (the two you've reacted to are more average pieces in his repertoire i think)

[@jdw9397]

Stan has an amazing voice and the harmonies with the Levites are so beautiful! FYI: you can also listen to Stan sing I Surrender in Māori. It is called Unuhia and is incredibly beautiful too! I loved your reaction-I wanted to hear it over and over too!

[@nicanz1500]

The levites are the band. The Standard are the vocal trio :)

[@salm6734]

I love your reactions The way you can point out technical details while also still thoroughly enjoying (which even a blind person could see 😊) really separates you as one of my fave reactors 👏🏼 thank you

[@nikkiherewini9978]

Stan won Australian Idol several years ago without ever having a singing lesson

[@thiskiwigal]

Yes and amazingly , since his operation his voice has become... sublime is the word that comes to mind. He far exceeds his beginning which was already fantastic. Now, he's in a class of his own.

[@petersanders3812]

It's an original song called i surrender after the start of amazing grace

[@zdrol_]

Do his cover of Ultralight Beam!

[@kbreezie2932]

Such a beautiful arrangement 😢❤

[@irzesth6322]

Sebnem Ferah - Can Kırıkları (10 Mart 2007 İstanbul Konseri) you will definitely love it listen,thanks. concert recording

[@krissygee9486]

You MUST listen to his version of Ultralight Beam, again with the Levites.

[@axeheke]

Thankyou Beth. ULTRALIGHTBEAM is going to make you luv Stan even more. His version of Kanye song is the way the song was meant to be done.

[@tuivaiti9552]

Love your reactions keepnthrm coming they're great 🙌🏾❤️

[@shirleymartin8190]

Besides his beautiful voice, Stan Walker is a survival! He has been through so much in his life. There is a documentary on KZbin regarding his journey through stomach cancer and the after affects causing him not being able to sing. Since i accidentally listened to him sing I Am, I am hooked on this amazing young man.

[@carmenmclennan8177]

0:09 Amen 🙏🏼

[@tommyau2006]

many Maori people down here in NZ are so gifted with incredible singing voices

[@bodybalanceU2]

Maori grow up singing and dancing its in their DNA - kapa haka is a living artform

[@Beastbudoo]

Yeah the Māori words and the way you pronounce them is pretty much a singing language

[@sereanaduwai8313]

Beautiful Voices from the South Pacific. Our Māori cousins in full flight. Stan the man.

[@kenglasson2920]

Oh and yes, I seriously recommend Ultralight Beam

[@Mr16bit]

If you put this exact group of people at the superbowl they would be global superstars overnight. Marc Cohn lyrics said it best for me after listening to this - Tell me are you a Christian child - I said ma'am I am tonight.

[@ellemcpher8835]

Another great reaction to our Stan. The Levites are the session band and the trio backup singers are called ‘The Standard’ ❤

[@seluvaiafunaki5838]

Best version of this great lyric. Stan Walker was not a trained vocalist, he is a God given GIFT. He had been thru a lot healthwise but singing carrying him through. He is New Zealander n I remember he was one of the Australian Idol Contestants in 2009. He sang Purple Rain at the Opera House, Sydney n God his voice is insane his version is different n I think he is one of the best artist of Polynesia that I've heard so far. Well, I believe he mixed Amazing Grace with Surrender in this version. What a fantastic job.

[@melissaskinner4501]

He’s our beautiful boy from New Zealand

[@happyguy61]

A stunning rendition! Stan’s vocals was strong and impactful, and the Levites’ harmonies outstanding. So glad you reacted to this Beth!❤ btw happy new year!

[@TheVocalyst]

Happy New Year Chris!

[@nicanz1500]

The levites are the band. The Standard are the vocal trio :)

[@SnapFuses]

I recommend you listening to "Wildflower" by Park Hyo Shin! He is a Korean singer and is very technically talented. It's about his struggles and difficult living under a harsh company agent and also his closest friend committing suicide.

[@carolinethompson6592]

The way you facially express what you're hearing really reflects that you're not just listening to the song but also feeling what you hear. Awesome reactor. Stan and co have many many great songs but please listen to 'Bigger' and 'Ultrlight beam' a Kanye West cover they're unbelievable. Thank you for your videos, your awesome.

[@dragonsalazar9723]

good morning to u @Bethany watching from the Philippines 😘😘😘💓❤‍🩹💙💜🤎🌹🌹🌹🌷🌷🌷

[@logantawhiti55]

If you think that's amazing check out Stan doing ultra light beam a Konya West cover better then the original. It's amazing.👍❤️🥝🇳🇿

[@gwz214]

Next is Stan Walker - Ultralight Beam It's a must.

[@AntonyUKR]

Hey 👋. Nice to see you. Can you watch and react to video "Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole - " Somewhere Over the Rainbow 2011" ? Thank you!

[@daletroy3348]

When believers who can really sing praise God it’s another level, whether you believe or not you can’t help but be moved with awe.

[@salakielu6295]

Awesome reaction.. stan is a national treasure 🙌 teeks is another treasure from nz. You'll love his tone. I hope you react to him soon.

[@wlg685]

The end is from Stans song, I Surrender. Beautiful reaction, you cant help but feel moved by Stan when he blesses us with his gift!

[@Sayin42]

Appreciate your information to each bit of everything! I’m from New Zealand and am a Maori as Stan and I’m so humbled with your videos of him and the Levites. Please, PLEASE pause the video in the moment and feed us the knowledge and just your thoughts, so long as you rewind back further a pause is very much appreciated.

[@carlhenry4623]

This cover was an arrangement using scriptures from the bible. Please please please do a reaction to the Kanye West cover " Ultra Light Beam" Possible one of the greatest vocal performances from Stan and the Levites.

[@maryannesmith1392]

Thank you…Stan is awesome…down here we have great respect for who he is. I just love all his music….

[@RaaAustin-xv5kt]

Watch....I Am.....remarkable. Even more remarkable his whole stomach was surgically removed and they didn’t know if he would be able to sing. But he retrained his voice.

[@shannonteamohanga9404]

Stan walker and vince harder valentines

[@jackwilliams7363]

Ultralight beam is his best song !!!!

[@alleyjames7570]

Nothing to point out to be fair...they're that good kare

Please review Stan Walker I Am. Nominated for best original song

[@gwz214]

React to Ultralight Beam next! Asap!

[@maryellenkingi6605]

Ultra light beam Stan Walker.

[@carolinethompson6592]

Thank you for your videos, they are the most informative videos on how the voice works and especially your knowledge of what the singer is doing. I'm learning from your reaction videos. Thank you, oh it helps watching your videos because your so pretty and sweet with your comments. Please don't stop posting, your too good.

[@hmmmyeahnahdoh823]

Great reaction, analysis and informative manner that even I could follow and appreciate. And Yes, this version of Amazing Grace included an original by Stan "I Surrender" and the singing/harmonies are a natural part of his indigenous culture as a "Maori" growing up in New Zealand. Just for clarification the Backing Vocal group are "The Standard", members Ani Nuku, Lilo Asiata, Nathan Peseta, and the Session band is "The Levites" (Named after one of the 12 tribes of Israel from the Old Testament) made up of Christmas Ropati (Guitar) and the Nansen brothers Ross (Drums), Jacob (Keyboard) and Junior (Bass). Hari Tau Hou (Happy New Year) Bethany. You remind me of my niece, similar features.

[@TheVocalyst]

Thank you for the clarification AND the names of everyone involved! ❤️

[@hmmmyeahnahdoh823]

@@TheVocalyst No worries Bethany. If your interested in the performance side of the Maori culture a good place to start is Kapa Haka Festivals/Competitions with traditional singing/dancing between tribes, schools or regions "Amazing Kapa Haka performance, Raukura, Matariki festival 2019" kzbin.info/www/bejne/pl65io2gh9Stj80

Ultralight beam by Stan walker next please 🥹🥹❤️❤️

[@Rosannasfriend]

Great reaction. You need to listen to Stan and this group here singing “ultralight Beam”, which is a Kanye West cover.

[@MsHGH1]

Amazing Grace is not a song I usually enjoy, but I had never heard Stan sing it - I had no idea it could sound that good! I too suggest his cover of Kanye West's song, 'Ultralight Beam', it's sublime.

[@kiriusaboy88]

You should do ULTRA BEAM🔥

[@zavierhokai7689]

love your reactions...would really like to see you react to "Ultralight Beam" and "Bigger" also by Stan avd the Levites...

Please do ultra light beam cover Stan Walker

love your reaction to stan. ultrabeam light is his best performance. but we also have a band called l.a.b who also has a great voice you may like a lot

You really need to do Stan's cover of Circle of Life. Best I've heard

1:30 that moment when you hold back tears..

[@arikiwilliams]

Yusss!! I keep checking for your next Stan Walker reaction and this didn't disappoint. Love your reactions ❤️ .. have you read up on Stan? He has a medical condition and believe it or not his stomach was removed. He is absolutely incredible ☺️

[@arikiwilliams]

Btw, keep an eye out..Stan enjoys watching reactions and is known to drop in a like or comment..top man our Stan ☺️

[@flatoutt1]

methinks stan can sing this so well because he's lived it.

[@soundzrinmygarden3833]

Check out Matt Corby singing "Brother" on triple J radio station in Australia. This guy is a freak, I have no doubt you will enjoy his vocal range.

[@SergioVLyra-gt3nx]

Olá....essa é a primeira interação de texto que faço no seu canal. Já tinha visto alguns vídeos seus reagindo a Dimash e hoje o youtube me sugeriu a versão de Disturbed para "The Sounds of Silence". Assisti, gostei e fui procurar outros vídeos. Percebi que você reage a inúmeros artistas de muitos gêneros diferentes. Eu, gosto muito de música e também adoro heróis em quadrinhos. Costumo dizer que temos super hérois espalhados pela internet cantando com seus super poderes. Temos Ankudinova (a garota polifôninca). Temos Angelina (a princesa do arranjo na forma de cantar), temos Pomoy (o 2 em 1), temos o mestre jedai, Dimash Kudaibernguen (ele parece dominar todas as técnicas vocais). Enfim, gostaria de te indicar um outro super herói que praticamente não vejo nos canais de reação. Tim Storms (A voz das profundezas. O cara que tem o baixo mais baixo do mundo). Se vc for fazer uma reação dele, aconselho usar fones de ouvidos de ótima qualidade! rsrsrsrs Corre o risco de vc não escutar ele direito. Bem. Também gostaria de te sugerir um dos maiores intérpretes que já ouvi. Rick Vallen (também pouco visto nos canais de reação). É inacreditável a entrega dele nas músicas. Não chega a ser um super herói do canto, mas acredito que vale muito a pena reagir a uma música dele, você vai se surpreender. Um grande abraço aqui do Brasil!

[@stunnedmulletblah9714]

Yeah but did you like Stans song? How wude!!

[@maryellenkingi6605]

He had stomach cancer and stomach was removed.

Not sure if you know this, but Stan had stomach cancer a few years ago which resulted in him having it removed. He feared that he was going to loose his voice. Well, he definitely didnt!!

Kia Ora Bethany love your reaction as you explain it in explainable terms . What I’d to hear your reaction to Stan songs where he uses Te Reo Māori ( our indigenous language of Aotearoa/ NZ ) just so that you get to execute your skills in another language, ie I Am from the Eva Duvernay film Origin then his follow up song to I Am Te Reo Māori Ki Te Ao ( maori language to the world) please react as I respect your professional reaction
