Unfortunately aussie musicians don't get the credit they deserve. I think they're just as good as any in the world. Appreciate you showcasing their talent on your channel.

I feel like a lot of Aussie musicians are better than others around the world we here regularly. Because if they aren’t better they don’t get any exposure.

Why are you guys talking like different countries have different kind of quality regarding musicians? We are all people, and perhaps culture change performance but not talent. Ausie talent is neither better nor worse than other countries, cause talent doesnt work that way. Only reason you hear more about american and british musicians is because its a machine churning out artist after artist. And Matt Corby is appreciated all over the world. Not because he is Australian, but because of his raw talent.

@@sirikalvik I won’t speak for others. But I was trying to articulate that USA and UK musicians are played so much around the world and here in Australia and unfortunately a lot of Aussie artists struggle to break into international audiences. So the few that do (like Matt Corby) are often extremely talented.

But Matt is to blame here. He chose to be an anti-big time artist and slink underground. He doesn't seem to want international fame and touring an that stuff

Matt Corbys background is interesting. As a young teen he was in this strange travelling religious music group that travelled around parts of Australia (it was run by leaders of a church he used to attend). Then he auditioned for Australian Idol when he was 16 doing an audition of Superstition by Stevie wonder on his acoustic guitar. He didn’t win, think he came 5th or something like that. Anyway he was still very young. When he left the show he essentially went into hiding, didn’t release anything. He reappeared years later with a very indie vibe to his music which is when he released Brother. In an interview he said he was sort of embarrassed by the Idol thing and wanted to get away from it. He believed that mainstream music scene was not what he wanted his musical journey to be dictated by. When Brother came out it was huge on a indie radio station called Tripe J (which is still listened by a large population of Australian music listeners) but not at all on mainstream radio stations. He released several singles before his first major album. He is widely respected in the Australian music scene for his musicianship. By the way he is now 30 y.o

Love Matt! He come second on season 5 of Idol. Brother was huge on all main stations. #3 on ARIA charts and won ARIA song of the year 2012. Resolution was his other song that made its way onto mainstream radio in a big way. Also a great song!

Just to put it out there, Matt released 3 EPs (I think it was) independently in the Christian music scene before traveling to London and writing Brother after learning some heavy news about someone he trusted as a musical & spiritual mentor. Their relationship wasn’t repaired for a long time and hence the heaviness in songs like Brother (written about the situation) which literally broke his heart & why he writes to such an extent about his spiritual journey - the highs and lows/ups & downs. You can literally see how well he is mentally in the music he chooses to cover or put out & how he is running to God/community or away from it, denouncing it or openly engaging in its reality. He is a fascinating case study in many ways to see the effects of traumatic experiences and how they push the human psyche to its limits and what holds it all together. I have never been more convinced of anyone’s anointing. I went to one of his rainbow valley tour shows and during the song miracle love, unprompted the entire seated audience stood to their feet and ran to the front like an altar call. I just stood their weeping coz I’ve been praying for him for years knowing and seeing his pain play out and the turn around he has had since having his child is absolutely wild. All that to say, I appreciate these videos! Keep them coming. You should do a reaction to miracle love at Manchester cathedral.

Haha your facials always kill it. 🔥 found your page a few days ago and have been enjoying ur vids heaps and loving that you’re listening to some of our good home grown Aussie talent. 💖

Watching you experience all our Aussie faves is really making me appreciate how deeply soul is embedded in our musical DNA. What a gift from our musical forefathers and the lasting legacy of the famous Australian Wanderlust, leading us to travel and gather musical influences from a wide range of places and people. I’d also point to the really strong jazz scenes in Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane in particular as a reason for this.

Like a version is a fountain of quality music bro

P.s Guy Sebastian also appeared on "Like a Version" a few years back. He did a great cover of "Keeping Score" (by LDRU) with Paces. 👍

@@rebbrown72 Thank you so much, now I understand her full message lol. I’ve watched Tina since YTT and today I still think she’s one of our best music treasures and was treated poorly because she was on YTT so she goes overseas where a lot of her family is and blows them all away. Then the Aussies are like we want her back…..I saw her in pubs, in clubs and she fought to where she is today and I finally got a great seat at the opera House And watched her live with the full Sydney Symphony Orchestra I cried. And my gf was taping it and I yelled out “ I love you Tina always! “ & and she laughed ( cos I’m a loud bitch lol) and she said “ I know that voice I love you too” and my gf gave me the tape for my birthday lol. I do it to Marcia Hines as well lol. When I saw her up the coast and her new CD had just come out. My sister had said how me and hubby broke up and after the concert she raced out gave me her CD with a message inside of it. I bawled “ I wrote track 2 for you” gettin teary thinking about it lol.

She did hear it and performed with him on stage at "Splendour in the Grass" in 2019 I think ...

Matt is a gospel singer and his roots are the Hillsong church. I love everything he does but I adore his song Monday, it makes me shake and cry and everyones out there is always reacting to Brother but Monday does it for me.

My favourite song by Matt Corby is Resolution. Great song!

I grew up listening to triple j, I bloody love it. When Matt Corby came on the scene and stole the show, it was INCREDIBLE. I appreciate that triple j has the segment “like a version” which is what you’re reacting to. So many amazing artists come and do one of their own and a cover and it’s incredible.

Every song he sings is a stellar performance. ❤

triple j's like a version is all about singers singing there version of a song they choose to perform there are some great like a version songs performed out there :)

Lastly, you should listen to the two of them sing this together (Matt and Tina Arena)

“I will shut this operation down, I will shut it all down!” Hahahahahahah. That was my favourite moment.

Triple J Like A Version from back in the day has soooo many iconic performances. Matt is just a legend.

That run at the end of the video is nuts. I can't comprehend how he can do that. The different registers and agility is nuts.

He was on Australian Idol 2007 from memory

I had the biggest crush on Matt Corby when I was in highschool

You get it…I thought I was the only one who noticed his insane runs and how he delivers his vocals, I try to imitate him too lol. I have watched him sing Chains probably a million times.

That's baby makin music right there!

Love this ❤

I always wondered what this generation of singers would do with this classic Aussie song. And Matt Corby is a worthy contender. I just love his version. And yeah...he can sing his face off.

Yaaasss!! Been waiting for this one. Thank you 🙏🏼

One of the best covers of all time!

OMG!! I am so excited. Im a huge fan of Matt but he is so unknown, nobody reacts to him. This is only the 2nd or 3rd video I can find reacting to this song, and it may be my favorite song(cover) of his. Thank god this finally came out. I cannot wait to watch it, Thank you so much. My next Matt song recommendation would be "Miracle Love" or "All Fired up" But I understand if you have a thousand other recommendations coming in all the time. So take your time and I will enjoy my favorite, most genuine reactor, and my fav song. Much love Brother.

Love your reactions and so happy you have discovered our amazing talented singers.💜

Smashed it again bro 💪 don't shut the operation down you gotta keep on giving fire 🔥 reactions

Dude your reactions are so good. You literally react so spot on, I love how you also sing along with your beautiful voice and your one liners are big lols. Big love! U got a new sub.

Love ❤️ your reaction to this one. I’ve watched it so many times 😆

He took it in a different direction and I love that! So fun that you love us Aussies :)

He is awesome…Resolution is fabulous

I’ve never heard this version Nic, thanks for reacting to this I loved it ♥️

Truthfully us Aussies love our musicians and vocalists but I guess we don’t realise how good we got it u til someone from another place hears them. The excitement on this mans face isn’t how I felt the first time I heard this, it was CLOSE but I didn’t understand how impressive it is. I’m repping all my Aussie faves from now on, with more pride - pride THEY deserved - and I’ll appreciate how damn lucky I am to hear them on the daily ❤️🥰🦘🔥

I am feeling soul Train 💓 I grew up listening to and loving tina arena, and I just love the way he adds to this beautiful song 🌺 absolutely stunning

Matt is a virtuoso. The man is unbelievably good.

Another Australian Idol find!

Yes Sir! This man can blow. I look forward to more Matt on this channel because this guy is the real deal.

I’m surprised you haven’t covered Guy Sebastian’s LDRU like a version yet!

Love your channel and reactions. Its so enjoyable to feel your genuine enthusiasm for all forms of great music. Matt Corby's voice fits into what I call 'late night' music although he is flexible enough to cross style lines easily. World class!

Such a talented guy, makes it look so easy. ❤️

Love your reactions to our Aussie artists ❤️

Matt Corby and Guy Sebastian Colab is a awesome idea

Thanks for showcasing our amazing Talent down under ....I love your commentary. 🤩

Top 5 best covers ever. Great to see Matt getting international notice - he’s a lyrical god!

Love Matt. His voice is like velvet. Smooth and raw

he is probably the best singer ever, I love Matt and was lucky enough to see him live. He doesn't get the recognition he deserves. I love your reaction to him, you clearly know your stuff and have an amazing voice yourself

Will someone please bottle some water from down there and send it to the States! I wanna sang…not sing…sang. I wanna do that right there. I’ve wanted to for 62 years. Oh, I got plenty of want to. What I lack is the “can do.” Apparently, I just need the water. I’ve watched every single one of these Aussie videos. Haven’t missed a one. And, every one of these vocalists are out of this world phenomenal. They sing their ever loving hind ends off. Aussie Soul Spring water has got to be my missing ingredient. Maybe Santa will bring me some. Cheers!

I will shuuuut this down,,,,,love it.

Surprise in music is the hardest thing to come by(vocally). The way he is unpredictable is so special and singular.

Bro seeing as you love Aussie singers so much, make your way over here and you can stay at my house. We’ll go do a road trip around Australia and go see all these greatest artists in the flesh. I hope you like beer, coz there will be plenty of it drunk 👌🏽

Yay matt again my favourite singer ♡, he's aussie he was on idol in 07 he was very pop music back than , he's very well known here but like most Australian singers we don't make it in America because idk

Sounded soooo good when you started singing along to that "baby baby, I'm in chains" part

He used to be in a Christian singing group and they sang at our school, was pretty funny at the time 🤣.

Pleas please pretty please listen to Matts ‘Monday’ and ‘Resolution’ ❤️❤️❤️❤️
