Who covered "Tennessee Whiskey" better?

In this video we will be reacting to four covers of the amazing country classic "Tennessee Whiskey" originally performed by George Jones and resurrected recently by Chris Stapleton. The first cover is by Cakra Khan. The second cover is from Stan Walker featuring Parson James. The third video is from Keke Wyatt. And the final cover is by Chris Kläfford.

The first singer WTF,,,, his tone is so rich and it give me chills

[@keithrichardson6836]

All great from each artists perspective and interpretation of the song.for me Chris, cakra, stan,and kiki.but cakra voice it's though it's been maturing in a barrel of Tennessee whiskey for decades so mature and smooth love his voice. Great reaction ryan and Cindy. 👌

[@TouchyReactions]

Thank you 😊

[@Thleepricon]

Chris Klafford for sure, no contest

[@Murvelhund]

Chris Kläffords version with out a doubt for me.

[@Ali-mr5nh]

Love Cakra Khan...his tone very good

[@lindascott6902]

For me, the duet of Parson James and Stan Walker (1st and 2nd singers, respectively) is the best… smooth and sweet.

[@kathyreid4735]

The first singer in the second clip is Parson James. Stan sings second in that second clip. Stan Walker is amazingly talented.

[@TouchyReactions]

Thanks for the help

[@forreez]

Do yourselves a favour​@@TouchyReactions, and check out more of Stan Walker's work. Firstly, your soul will thank you. Secondly, you'll be supported by a fazillion KZbinrs from Aotearoa New Zealand. ❤

[@nunungnurjanah7982]

I think they are good singers but i like Cakra khan with his raspy voice... Maybe you can react the other cover Cakra khan... Monster James blunt cover by CK... I recommend you Greeting from Indonesia... Thankyou ❤❤🙏🙏

Stan Walker is the second singer in the second clip you watched. Please react to more Stan Walker he is amazing.

[@TouchyReactions]

Oops sorry

[@lindascott6902]

Stan’s cover of Kanye West’s Ultralightbeam is fantastic, and deserves to be reacted to!

[@Williamparata]

Stan walker doing purple rain or the lion king is also awesome to listen to, but he has so much more

[@RMe0t7]

Stan Walkers version of Amazing Grace will blow you away

[@axeheke]

Yes Stan Walker has a rabbit hole that you need to go down. His version of Amazing Grace live with the Levites is a must which will blow your mind. And his new one for the movie Origins and Ultralightbeam a must and his duet called Choose. Be prepared to be blown away Stan was blessed by God himself with all hes been through. He is all about humanity and bringing all people together as one no matter what their culture.

[@hmmmyeahnahdoh823]

As a Kiwi 1. Kris 2. Cakra Khan 3. Kiki Wyatt 4. James & Stan (Simply Bcoz I would've preferred just Stan to sing and do his thang).

[@nicelle6920]

Great reaction, thank you. Please react to more of Stan Walker's music, in particular his covers of Ultralight Beam and Don't Dream It's Over, plus his new song I Am from the movie Origin.

[@isx9ry]

Always loved the voice of cakra the best ot the 4 imo , all good btw saw him on the last agt , couldn't believe it, he is the most confident performer and a successful artist for over ten years , but he was suddenly struck down with a huge case of shyness , agt has many effects on people but ?

[@georgedauhan3796]

Cakra khan best 🤟🙏

[@alexandermenzies7610]

Cakra Khan is the best

[@pkpk-hq7ph]

Loveeee cakra ...❤

[@cakraamira]

Great reaction, thank you.🤗. Yes, all vocalist are great with their voice, for their perspective and interpretation of the song. For me, Cakra performance is the best😘😘. Cakra You tube Channel already launched his second/latest of his Tennessee Whiskey cover at Abbey Road Studio, London on August 2023.

[@TouchyReactions]

Thank you too!

[@mikaelandersson6082]

Chris, 100% chris

[@mikejaqua4604]

Loved Kiki Wyatt. This is a country/blues song but the poured awesome soul into it. She sounded like she come straight out of Motown Very cool.

[@Krissi3707]

Stan Walker has a really unique voice could you react to Purple Rain or Amazing Grace.

[@guntoro183]

I don't like Stan Walker... Sorry ✌️

[@robynandrews4384]

Stan, all day, every day. Then the lady and the last guy were too close to call. Both have great voices. Didnt like the first one much. I like a bit of a raspy voice, but that was ott.

[@JimmyOlsson]

Chris Kläfford all the way! No contest really! That said, each version has it's own merit. Great musicians all of them! Interesting concept! Like it!

[@TouchyReactions]

Thanks for voting

[@electlady1955]

Hard to beat harmonies that make it smooth it takes more than one to slay it, in terms voice and tones I like to hear would be the raspiness of Cakra. The last Chris had a great country voice. I f Stan sang it on his own I would pick him as he is a very good soulful singer. I loved this reaction between 4 artist doing the same cover. Please do more

[@rikilelaki889]

Cakra Khan all day...!!!

[@richiejordan8640]

They're all great singers but i would go favourite #2, then #4, #1 and #3.

[@karlenemacdonald6549]

For me, as a massive fan of Stan Walker....it was his collab version with Parson James. (btw...Stan was the 2nd singer in the song, not the 1st). I just love this bluesy, soul version of this song, but.....Kris' version was amazing. As you said, it was a real stripped down, rendition, which took you to the basics of the lyrics, so, I really appreciated his style and talent. But, for me, it's always going to be Stan, all the way. And if you enjoyed Stans amazing Maori voice.....then check out his latest song...I AM, which is the main song of the soundtrack of the movie...Origin....you won't be disappointed....

[@TouchyReactions]

Thanks for sharing your take

[@tibeklucio3418]

First singer he has that rasps Last singer Second singer Female singer .

[@nathanyudhistira4871]

Cakra khan more better all of them He's sound sexy,husky and raspy voice, amazing talent.

[@reneeyoung1831]

I love that you paused and said WOW before Stan had even sung! :D

[@NajwaDasmaAshilla]

Love Cakra Khan 💖💖

[@suzannelabbe8997]

actually David Allan Coe was the original singer of 'Tennessee Whiskey' and it hit the Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart in 1981. for me, my preferred singers of 'TW' are Chis Klafford and Chris Stapleton. both of their versions are super, but CK does have a richer tone to his vocals than CS. didn't mind the band's version either, but my favorite is CK. enjoyed your comparisons, nice touch, thanks.

[@barbroljunggren6797]

Chris Klafford is amazing, his voice...goosebumps!!!

[@mariedowner6349]

Pardon James and Stan Walker 💯

[@MARCIO-BAUM]

Chris kläfford nailed it. He is amazing.

[@TouchyReactions]

Yeah, he's impressive

[@rockylwilliam5935]

[@TouchyReactions]

Thank you too!

[@howardouk1056]

Hands down Cakra Khan is the best

[@andi-in2jp]

Cakra Khan is the best... guy's

[@karenm5681]

I do enjoy this type of format and because Dan’s not in this one you know I’m going to be completely unbiased and give my honest opinion. #1- There’s something unique about this first guy’s voice. I like the counterpoint: he’s singing about smooth whiskey but his voice is all gritty, dirty, “filthy”…(in a good way). He was having WAY too much fun though…wonder how much whiskey he had before the cameras started rolling.😂 #2- Oooh! NICE! Wow…Smooth like velvet. I *thought* I liked gritty but THIS! 🎤🎶🔥 Yes please. More please. What’s his name again? Stan Walker? Yes. Good stuff. #3- She had some good moments but…not a fan of the echo effect or video vibe and honestly I probably won’t listen to this version more than this one time. Last place. Sorry. #4- Oh, dang. 🎤🎶 That didn’t take long. Soon as Chris sang that first line I melted into my chair. 🔥 This guy knows what he’s doing. Every musical choice is on purpose. Those runs…whooo! Even just his vibrato on straight singing…gorgeous! AND he’s playing guitar. First prize. 🏆 No contest. Masterpiece. Love it!♥️

[@TouchyReactions]

I love your breakdowns. Thanks Karen 😊

[@karenm5681]

“Break it down now.” 🥁🥁🥁 Hey, no problem…apparently I have no problem giving my opinion, 😂(but only if it’s wanted.)

[@karenm5681]

Just did a bit more of a deep dive in Stan Walker because I wanted to see the video without the “copyright block” filter over top, and it just so happens that today is not the first time I’ve seen a music video of his. It really confused me and I wondered if there were 2 singers with gorgeous voices named Stan Walker. Nope. Same neck tattoo. But they look like 2 different men. A documentary & interviews explained it. He had a carcinogenic gene in his DNA, a generational thing, and got stomach cancer, had to have it removed. Lost a lot of weight. Got more tattoos added more recently including a really cool big one all the way up his spine & to the top of his head. Stan is Māori, from New Zealand. I had the privilege of travelling around the North Island for a week about 20 years ago & have always dreamed of going back there someday. It’s so beautiful. You’re going to want to check out Stan Walker’s “I Am” at some point. It just was released a month ago. I’d love to hear your thoughts. The cinematography is impressive & stunning, and I know you’ll enjoy his voice because he just won first place in your books in this video. I think they had a great budget to work with for the video because it’s the soundtrack (or whatever) for the movie “Origins”. Another difference since 6 years have passed: Stan doesn’t sing with his hands in his pockets anymore. Check it out. You’ll like it. Trust me. (Have I ever steered you wrong?)

[@robotmilker]

Cindy is obviously the real winner here rocking those fresh earings; but as far as the song goes, I would rank them #4 #1 #2 #3

[@TouchyReactions]

Thank you so much 💓 💗

George jones was not the original singer , that is " David Allan coe " written by. Linda hargrove / dean dillon . Chris Stapleton version used the lyrics from that original and he took the music from the etta james song " I'd rather go blind " take a listen of etta james song then listen to the Chris Stapleton cover .

We all know it was cackra khan it's just for the simple fact that he is not American that you didn't choose him, and Americans are too proud to admit when someone or something is better than them, the one cackra did is even much better than the one done by Chris Stapleton and that's just facts.

[@TouchyReactions]

We chose a guy from England. And the time before that, we chose a guy from Brazil. I don't think we've ever picked an American to win. So you are just wrong.
