WHAAAAT??!! Kasey Chambers - Lose Yourself (Eminem Cover) LIVE @ Civic Theatre, Newcastle AU

[@johnshea5967]

How can an Australian female country musician,have the audacity and bare faced cheek,to take one of the greatest songs ever written and change its tempo, cadences and it's emotional impact,and then to add insult to injury,make this great song even better,I guess some of you may have been wondering where I was going with that?,Kasey Chambers, thankyou ,for the best cover of any song ever!

[@MrsRealistic]

Couldn't have said it better myself!! I think you're right... best cover song ever!

[@dazc1069]

So we’ll said. 👊 Do you Mind if I copy this onto some other reactors sites? The highlight of my day is coming on KZbin and watching someone new reacting to this masterpiece. I have been recommending this since I found it (only 2 weeks ago) and it’s a travesty that it hasn’t gone viral.

🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘A direct quote "I've been mostly influenced in my life by artists who bravely put fearless emotion into lyrics and no one does that better than Eminem" - Kasey Chambers (Rolling Stones Magazine 29/07/2022)

[@MrsRealistic]

Thank you for that! He is one of the best out there as far as rap skills!

[@dianeemanuel8541]

She is known for leaving it all on the stage. I feel like she walks you through the pain be fore hyping you up to overcome it ❤

[@MrsRealistic]

I totally agree with that! It's like she was exhausted afterwards!

[@heidicross7255]

It is her brother who comes in on the second verse, with the guitar and harmonies. Her Dad is the one on the slide guitar, once the whole band comes in. Kasey Chambers is an Australian country singer, songwriter who likes to venture into other genres occasionally. She is also an Eminem fan and wanted to cover this song for years but wasn't sure how to do the lyrics justice. The Pandemic gave her that chance. Unable to tour, she spent the time (with her band) working on this arrangement and perfecting it. As someone else mentioned, she did not have this video this show, so the day after the concert she asked members of the audience, who filmed the song on their phones, to send in any footage they had. The final cut is the montage of the numerous videos' received from her request.

[@Raghnaid]

That's not her brother, that's Brandon Dodd, the guitarist in the band.

[@MrsRealistic]

Thank you for the info!

[@mooksieb]

Apparently Eminem has heard this version and liked it so much he waved copyrights. It's available on Spotify, iTunes etc so more than likely true story. Great reaction!! Much love

[@ray.shoesmith]

This is a myth that someone wrote and people have just run with. I could cover this song and post it on Spotify without anyone's permission. So could you. There's no evidence Em has ever heard this cover, even though I hope tf he has. It would make him proud.

Kasey is a 47 yr old Mum, who grew up in my home State of South Australia. She played with her family band (her Dad plays slide guitar on this) and at one point they lived in a bus in a semi arid area called the Nullabour Plain, catching rabbits for dinner.. They put this video together with all the video taken by the people in the audience.. Goosebumps is called "Frisson" and not everyone gets it from music etc.

[@CalebD3232]

Its a tour de force, you can tell she been listening to and internalizing the song for decades. Really a beautiful piece of music.

[@MrsRealistic]

So true! She did it more than justice!!

[@audivawalsh2983]

Kasey Chambers is an Australian legend: the youngest person to be inducted into the Australian Music Hall of Fame, a dozen albums and has more than 30 ARIA Awards (the AU Grammy's). She is beloved but is ignored by radio and was shunned by Sony. She's been performing in her father's band since she was 12 years old (her brother is backing vocals and her dad is on the steel guitar on stage here). She had some pop hits in the 90s but her heart and soul is Country in her own style. She wanted to commemorate the 20th anniversary of this song because she loves Eminem, and she had the time to rearrange and compose this masterpiece during lockdown. She is showing so much emotion because she has lived this to a degree as well. She is now 48 years old and a mother of three. This recording is the first time it was ever performed live and was done at the end of the concert. They thought it went well, so they used the recording from the sound desk and asked their fans who were in attendance to provide any footage they had to composite this one together. While there has been no public approval from Em, she has been allowed to put this song up on Spotify without challenge.

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

Everything completely different with Kasey. That's why we love her.❤

[@wesleygalvin9983]

What an amazing work of art. From Em's lyrics, to the band, to Kasey's rendition. Even the audience phone footage, this is the complete package. I've watched this about 100 times. I watched half of Taylor Swift's version once..... I'll see you all here in ten years time when we are still talking about it. G'day from Australia.

Kasey is a well known Australian Country artist. Started at 9 in her family's band (Dead Ringer Band) then branched out to her solo career. her dad is playing the slide Guitar on the left. The audience was left speechless at the raw emotion she piled into this song.

[@MrsRealistic]

She deserves every accolade!!

[@longjohn5322]

Great reaction! I too had a tear in my eye more than once during my first viewing of this performance. I’m not entirely sure whether it was because of the different emotion that Kasey brought to the song or because I was so damn inspired by her for doing such a great job and laying it all out there.

[@MrsRealistic]

I think it's both! It was for me that's for sure!!

[@harpermcalpineblack8573]

Amazing interpretation and performance. All that emotion and anguish and defiance was already there in the lyrics. In Kasey's case, she can give 110% because she's lived it. She's been pigeon-holed as a sweet-voiced country singer, and the Australian music industry treated her like crap because she was "not pretty enough" - this is what she can do. Really brave woman to tackle this song. And she shreds that banjo. Respect. Thanks for the reaction.

In a Rolling Stones Magazine interview, Kasey said that she's always loved Eminem and listens to him a lot in her house. She added that she's wanted to do a cover for a very long time but never had the time to dedicate to it - However Covid Lockdown gave her plenty of time to learn all the lyrics and write a melody. This was the first time she performed it in 2022. Kasey is an Aussie Icon. We adore her. She's 45 years old - and never stops 😂❤❤

Just a little trivia for you,,,. that's her father on Slide/steel guitar... how can someone from a small family band "The dead Ringer Band" do such an epic job on this.. song easy Just ask Kasey Chambers to sing it. EPIC. When she turned solo, she did have some trouble getting airplay on the major radio stations, but then she wrote a song "Am I Not Pretty Enough" and things chsnged for the better in my opinion. "Rattlin' Bones'' was my fav Kasey song, until I heard this and I'm a really OLD BLOKE (almost 83). Really enjoyed your reaction Thanks....

Kasey grew up as a contemporary to Emininem. She had real struggles with the Australian Country Music scene not taking her seriously as an artist & wrote [as others have said] "Am I not Pretty Enough". I'd heard her on the radio after that song on occasion, but still not the recognition she deserved. It is her Dad on slide guitar and during C-19 when tours were shut down she had lots of time to work on this as a pet project, and her Dad was her sounding board. So glad she got to put this to music and show her heart-felt interpretation of some great lyrics!

Thanks for doing this one! This gives me chills every single time I hear it. Kasey going from that resigned, laid back approach early in the song to the fighting emotion later is beyond powerful! 💪🏼 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. I guess he has, as he did give her permission to upload to Spotify etc. Would really like to hear what he thought about it though. Where else would you see head-banging with a banjo, 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. From what I understand, 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 that for breath and vocal control? Not to mention the awesome arrangement. ❤ Also, that was Kasey’s Dad, Bill, on the steel guitar and her brother Nash on lead guitar and backing vocal. Full kudos to Eminem for his songwriting. Personally, the reason Kasey’s version affects me so much is all down to the fact that she did lose herself in the music, the moment during this performance. Kasey kept the cadence but slowed it down, even in the full rock part. She is a true blue Aussie who will leave her soul bared on stage every single time. ❤ The video was a montage from the audiences phone vids… deliberately done to make it a more intimate experience.

[@MrsRealistic]

She's an amazing artist to be able to make this cover rock as much as the original... or dare I even say, maybe harder! 🙌

The footage wasn't deliberately done - her team recorded the audio at the mixing desk & when they realized what an amazing vocal performance they had - they were kicking themselves for not filming it - THAT'S when Kasey put the call out for fan phone footage

Great reaction!

Thank you!! 😁

Thank you! 😊🙏

The fact that was not recorded from her team is wild… all of the video footage has been produced by fans etc… he has seen this and further gave her Spotify privileges to ensure she gets her just deserves…. Also she is magnificent in her own right

[@MrsRealistic]

It's really cool how they got everything together like that! I think it's also great that Eminem did that for her!

[@dianeemanuel8541]

Great reaction ❤

Em gave his permission . He ADMIRED HOW SHE RE-DID THIS GREAT SONG .CHASEY DID THIS THING!!!!!

[@MrsRealistic]

That's so awesome! She deserves it!

[@josephmoya9929]

I think we all got emotional hearing her sing this song. She's AMAZING.

[@MrsRealistic]

Yes she is!

[@johnfreeman5310]

Oh yeah

[@Raghnaid]

I've heard that Eminem gave her permission to release this on Spotify, so he must have heard it. My guess is that she wouldn't have been able to do that without his permission. "Ain't no Little Girl", live or recorded, both great.

[@MrsRealistic]

That's awesome! Good for him! I've gotten a few other requests for Ain't no little girl, so I'll have to look it up! Thanks!

Kasey is 47 and a rocks it better than a teenager😂

[@MrsRealistic]

No doubt!😁🤙

Interesting fact the slide guitar player is Casey's father. She grew up playing in her fathers band.

[@MrsRealistic]

Oh how cool! Thanks for that info! Both my parents play guitar, but never taught me.

[@jayweb51]

I would recommend watching her hit single from the 3rd album, titled "Not Pretty Enough"; this song is a commentary on the reluctance of commercial radio stations towards playing her music, even though she has had successful hits and albums.

[@MrsRealistic]

Thanks for that suggestion! 😊

She’s 46 here and she’s an Aussie veteran has had dificult professional start and a difficult divorce & is now a single mother so she can relate to this song a lot. This was an encore for her regular country show. They only realised on playback of the recording how phenomenal it was so she put out a call out to the crowd for crowd footage which is why it’s not great visuals it’s all phone footage. It’s also available on Spotify now so someone on Eminem’s team has seen it because she had to get the rights to put it on Spotify

[@MrsRealistic]

I had heard that... it's so cool that everyone put their own cell phone footage in! She's got an amazing energy!

[@EarlJohn61]

For something a little more in her usual genre/style check out *Am I not Pretty Enough* A song, written by KC, from the perspective of a struggling performer who is trying to their music played on the main stream radio (But in Australia, NONE of the Major Cities radio stations play country music & KC had been pigeonholed as "Country" even if she were to sing local popular songs they would not play her. A fate shared by many of Australia's country music artists.) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGbVgJd8bteIgas

Thanks! I've gotten a few requests for this one! I'll have to check it out!
