This song is a fantastic journey . I’m Australian and never saw this coming from Kasey . She is an icon of Australian country music and I’m not really a country fan but this song is one of the greatest covers ever . You should react to the Paul Kelly song How To Make Gravy which is an Australian classic and kind of our Christmas song . I think you would love it .

And anger at the rock end....whereas in rap expletives sound like punctuation after a while, here the two allowed carried all the anger & angst in her soul. Fun fact, Kasey's 4 years younger than Eminem, both were struggling to break through roughly at the same time, Kasey's international breakthrough hit "Am I Not Pretty Enough" was recorded in 2001, "Lose Yourself" in 2002. Kasey's normally classified as (alt) country. I'm sure Kasey relates to the struggles of trying to keep a family fed as a musician, particularly from Australia & a bit of an outsider to the mainstream of her genre.

Aussies have a strong connection to Kasey and I think I know why. Can you think of a better image that is the embodiment of the Aussie spirit than someone who grew up living in the back of a truck in the outback living off the land and learning to play music sitting around a campfire. I miss those stories she told early on in her career.

Hey can I ask you why it seems the audience is so reserved? Is that a cultural thing? Or maybe just stunned silence? I’m here in NA where audiences are quite reactive, sometimes annoyingly so.

A drama in two acts: Act 1 is pure Kasey Chambers; Act 2 is pure Aussie Pub Rock.

Eminem knows it. He's given permission for this to be on Spotify. Proud Australian. She owns this.

It makes me appreciate the lyrics Eminem wrote. When you can take the words and totally change the song it shows the creativeness of both her and Eminem. Awesome performance.

Kasey loves Eminem. She's been wanting to do this homage to someone she so admires. One of the greatest wordsmiths of all time. All time.

Pity he wasted his words on rap.....this version kills him. Thanks for the lyrics though Marshall!

Kasey really loved this song she sang the first two verses slower as they were in the third person, the third first is in first person.

At last someone who has articulated the greatness of this cover. Not just the musicality of the arrangement, but the emotional focus of the song. She is a force of nature and leaves nothing behind in her performances. Check out her live version of 'Ain't No Little Girl' - just an exorcism of a performance.

Yeah this is a much more thorough reaction to the emotional intent of Kasey’s version. Great reaction Britt

BTW, this video only exists because someone said they should make it, so she collected all the audience footage she could, and they put this together. It wasn't intended as anything but a "one time concert tribute" for those who were there.

This performance has been described as a Rock-Ballad, mixing a blend of country, blues and rock in such an enlightening approach; this is exceptionally brilliant and mesmerising, showcasing Kasey's ability to draw raw emotion from an already great song.

It’s such a shame that quite a lot of the viewers don’t give the artist in this case Kasey Chambers the respect of reacting to her unique performance instead of wholly promoting the artist that they want to see next.

I used to buy fish and chips from Kasey's family shop as a young fella in Southend. She was about 10 years my junior and even then you could tell there was something special about her. The whole of South Eastern South Australia is immensely proud of Kasey and her amazing musical family. Probably my favourite song is Rattlin' Bones, with hubby Shane Nicholson.

@@mattroper7214 permission is required if you don't want to get sued. All he is saying is that Eminem can not give permission because he does not own his early catalog of music. Someone else had to give permission and most likely they did,

This one builds too. It highlights the sadness (and the underlying hope that allows one to get out of that sadness) and that journey to the attitude of the end, with her even spitting out the lyrics.

Pretty good version from someone who is basically a country music singer. She has never been afraid to bring aspects of other genres to her music though.

Kasey is like our queen of country music here in Australia

First off, thanks for reacting to this or I would have never known it existed 👀 Holy crap what an amazing thing she did with this song 😳 her vocal control 🤯👏👏👏👏

Eminem needs to hear it!!!

Absolutely amazing cover from an Australian country music icon and demonstrates how much of a modern day poet Eminem truly is, the lyrics so effortlessly cross genres.

I’m really impressed with your analysis of even the tone to extrapolate emphasis on points. Really cool, thanks that’s just a love of music

This shows what great lyrics and a great singer can do when they meet. Her anger and passion.. i cried the first time i saw this. Unapologetically cried.

Love your reaction, you nailed it! As Kasey moves from almost acapella to country/folk/rock she moves through emotions pleading to anguish, to angst grit and anger. I think this is so powerful and brilliantly arranged. Go Kasey ❤

I need to see Em reacting to this before I die - to at least know that he saw it Also you’re always welcome in Australia - although I recommend avoiding February and March , it’s just too hot to really enjoy your time properly

This from the girl who penned "Ain't I not pretty enough?" about her knock backs in trying to break into the Australian music industry as a soloist. Not surprising she has an affinity with these lyrics.

You broke this down so intelligently. Fantastic cover and fantastic reaction :)

Kasey blew my mind with this. So beautifully twisted. 🇦🇺

I was so lucky to be at this concert and it was absolutely amazing to experience this live !

Kaseys storytelling of the lyrics into anger and chaos….brilliant ❤

Britt I have never seen you speechless and don't think I ever will.

Her dad is on steel guitar. She’s a force for sure❤

Best review I have heard in a long time.... you are a professional!

"Playing it like it's her last ever performance" - that's exactly how it feels ✨ Also, come to Melbourne, lots of arts here and cuisune!

So amazing. The best ever cover. Absolutely love it. Her approach made me appreciate Eminem's lyrical genius. She ripped it up.

Hollow but full.. a void surrounded by color .. you are absolutely right!!

You've got a way of somehow delivering canny and erudite analysis while still being emotionally present and letting us know you feel. Rare combo.

What an amazing piece of art. Kasey and the band have really gone next level in building the tension and drama, totally transforming the song. The Civic Theatre is a stunning old heritage listed building in Newcastle, 2 hours north of Sydney. The perfect setting for such a dramatic performance. I loved your reaction, and thank you for sharing around the world. G'day from Australia.

Kasey Chambers is an amazing Aussie singer songwriter. Check out “Ain’t No Little Girl” if you want to see her doing her own thing.

Her Dad is on slide guitar, harmonies by Brandon Dodd. I have no idea if Eminem knows, and he has probably heard a million different covers. Kasey Chambers is so down to earth and has a signature sound.❤️ Edit: Just went through your video list and didn't see LP Halo or LP Lost on you. She used to write music for big-name artists like Celine Dion and also has quite the signature. Australia has so many great voices. It's hard to choose one or even stick to 3🤔or 4...dang just too many. Short list for me is Karise Eden , Jimmy Barnes, and John Farnham. There are many others, but they won't get the watch numbers that the above two gentlemen will.

Thoroughly enjoyed your comments and insights! Thank you for your awesome reaction! Kasey's musical artistry is phenomenal and what an amazing voice! I wish Eminem will share his reaction to this cover.

Imagine a collaboration between Eminem and Kasey

Thanks for doing this one! This gives me chills every single time I hear it. 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 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 that for breath and vocal control? Not to mention the awesome arrangement. ❤ Also, that was Kasey’s Dad, Bill, on the steel guitar.

Oh and yeah, Em knows of this cover and has permitted her to release it on spotify and other services. Spotify won't allow you to release covers without the original artists approval

This version is opened up - so she can pack in all that emotion. I feel her pain so strongly- tragically beautiful. Thanks for giving this a broader audience. Great review. I get it- hallow but full- open but full… I can’t see the Holy Spirit but it’s in that song- chock full of it.

Kasey has gone next level, i love her work but this fantastic

A very interesting, imaginative singer.

Kasey Chambers - The Captain - 7/7/2017

Great reaction, this bluegrass rock cover is hauntingly beautiful story telling, he's amazing and she also made this her own, she went off at the end!!!! Been obsessed watching everyone's reactions to this!!!!

Most people who react to this, don't really have much to say about the first few verses before it heats up. Loved all your in depth observations, you really got it. And made me appreciate it even more ❤

I really liked what you said about intention. To my ear, Eminem did this from a position of anger and frustration but Kasey seems to approach the song from a place of despair and almost palpable sadness that becomes a kind of triumph at the latter parts of the song. I genuinely think that this version is truly something special.

She does a Dolly Parton song that’s brilliant. Also my favorites are Barricades and Brickwalls and Runaway Train and Rattlin Bones. This track is new to me and I like it.

Love Kasey. Been following her career for more than 20 years and saw her live in Detroit once. Look for her live version of "Ain't No Little Girl" (probably an original but I'm not sure). I always kinda liked Barricades and Brick Walls too.

So Good you can appreciate a unique version of the song! She sings this amazing, wow!

Eminem's rap approach is more reactive, while Kasey's approach is more emotive; Kasey's version sound like a completely different song, as such she was given permission to upload this performance to Spotify in it's own right.

Eminem released the copyright so Kasey could put it on her spotify channel. That says a lot obout the artist she is.

Haha yes!!!! 🙌🙌🙌 Been waiting on this one. First time I heard it I legit had the chills. Glad you enjoyed it, took me back to my first listen of it... Love it!

I love this cover

Newcastle, New South Wales. Australia :)

Wow! She excels from singing folk songs around the campfire to rocking the stage. A favorite of mine is her cover of Lowell George's, Willin'.

Great reaction Britt, luv your work. This should be compulsory viewing for all Swifties & Katy P fans. This is what happens when you have a deep luv for your craft. Casey didn't sing this she SANG it & took Eminem's amazing lyrics & delivered them in such a way that we now have a new perspective of them. Casey Chambers, you've nailed this & you didn't need a costume change to do it.🤟

The “Cat in the Hat” sitting on stage on lap steel is her dad, just mad.

Nailed the Review. Thank you. Great job.

Best reaction to this cover, that I keep coming back to watch Britt's reaction.

You said it.....Masterpiece.

I watched a reactor say: “She grabbed the pick”. Right before she blew it up. I can’t find the reactor who said it. I want him to have the credit for the phrase that I believe best defines what we just saw. “She grabbed the pick”.

As soon as a saw that you had reacted to this i absolutely knew you would love it and I would love watching your reaction.

The original was like a pumped up keeping going song and this version is what you would play to describe the movie to someone who'd never seen it. You feel the struggle, fear and determination of him trying to succeed.

Come Down Britt, you are most welcome!!!!!!!!!

I have watched sooo many reactions to Kasey singing this. The more I see and here this song. It just is on repeat on my brain. Big Kasey fan here. She dìd this song justice in true Kasey style.

You got it! This just totally reinterprets, it just so speaks to me now

Britt her big hit was "Am i not pretty enough"

Thanks for a really intelligent and genuine reaction. All that anguish and tenderness and defiance is there in the original lyrics - she finds it, unpacks it and reveals it in an amazing performance. She loses herself in this. Really brave to try it - and she triumphs. Like it was the last damn soing she was ever gonna sing.

Kacey Chambers is one of the best singers out there...

Kasey at the time of this performance is 46, and a mother of four; this performance is like a mother explaining the hardships her children may face, as it goes on she begins to plead that they listen to her until finally she is trying to force them to listen and understand her fear for them. That's just my feeling, and opinion; l know we all will interpret it differently, determined by l circumstances at the time.

I think if it as Eminem’s comes from the gut and the head and emotions hurried deep so it comes out as anger. Her version comes from the heart and soul. It shows what’s under the tough exterior of the angry man. so all those emotions come out in every note making it hit you right in the feels. Eminem’s makes you want to go kick somebody’s butt for him.

Kaseys an Australia country singer. She has just has gone from to good to great. She come from a family of country singers.

Hell yeah ! Great cover of great song.

Guy Sebastian battle scars live another great AUSSIE artist.

.....and Casey is generally a country music singer. Such a talenr.

I would love to see Eminem react to this.

She truly reminds me of irish folk crooners. Id love to hear her do something with Damien Rice if she hasnt.
