Your reaction was a worthy analysis of Kasey’s epic performance and you did it justice, well done. I think perhaps some of the nay-sayers in the comment thread neglected to read the title of the video before hitting play, in which you described your content perfectly. I also happen to think that when Kasey herself see’s your reaction, she’ll learn a few things about her own performance that hadn’t previously crossed her mind. Really, great job 👍

Kasey said about the song "Ain't No Little Girl" - "It's the song that glues my life together - that's a lot of glue!" I like the Bluegrass Underground live version.

I believe the guy playing the slide guitar is her father

Yep….Bill …. Still awesome!

Kasey has faced trials and tribulations in her life and career, the raw emotion she puts into this performance is so dynamic; a hit song from her 3rd(studio)album titled "Not Pretty Enough", is a commentary on the reluctance of commercial radio stations towards playing her music even though she had already produce many hits. She is an accomplished Australian country singer-songwriter, having won many awards and accolades for her 12 studio albums and singles releases.

Kasey is probably the Queen of country in Australia. Her 25 year solo career started after 6 years with her families own band....mother, father, brother and herself 5 of her 12 solo albums went No 1 and with 14 Aria awards she was admitted to Australia's Aria Hall of Fame in 2018. Country is NOT my musical preference but you might like 2 of her own songs that were hits here in Australia..... Not Pretty Enough from 2002.....a rant at the music industries moguls. And.....Ain't No Little Girl.

it's so good!

The thing about Australians and our artists, in all genres, is that we fully expect them to leave absolutely everything they have on the floor when they finish a performance. It's like we respect them more if they let it all out in a slightly unhinged, emotional rollercoaster ride.

@AndreaSilvestro

Ай бұрын

makes sense!

"I was playing in the beginning and the mood all changed". Yes Kasey. We get it.

The thing that impresses me the most about this performance is the way Kasey has moulded her interpretation of the song around the way Eminem has crafted his (brilliant) lyrics. The first 2 verses are written in the third person. They describe the fears and frustrations of a man looking from the outside. Her low key approach acts as a perfect narrative for these verses. In the third verse (things all changed) the lyrics switch to be written in the first person. This allows her to unleash the raw emotion of the 3rd verse. The fear, frustration and determination now become real because they are coming from within rather than the external narrative. A masterful performance.

Nice reaction video Andrea, as always. People are learning more and more about Australian musicians from your videos 🎶, and that's a good thing 👍

Kasey was actually my very first live concert as a lad in Aus. 2002-3 and she was already massive here, I’ve seen her at least five times in the years since, and she’s probably the reason I kept a strong folk/country core in my music despite metal being more my wheelhouse! Love her

Kasey’s voice has always been absolutely heartbreaking, amazing how that tiny rasp and break can tip you over emotionally - I first saw her a couple of years before her family’s Dead Ringer band broke up. She was incredible! She sang her heart out, it was the best live performance I’ve ever experienced.

Now that you’ve done John & Kasey you need to complete the trifecta of Aussie artist reactions with Matt Corby - Brother live on Triple J

could you imagine being a member of this band, practicing this, and having to keep it secret until the performance? I couldn't, flat out, no way i would be able to contain myself.

He was amazing. I think they were all having a ball. I love the tone of the first guitar & his harmonies were great. The band must have known this was going to be great. Love the way Kasey changed it up, but was true to the original lyrics. I'm not really into rap & until I heard this, there was no way I could have sung along with it. I'm a bit addicted to reactions to it. Loved your reaction & analysis ❤

I have seen sooooo many reactions to this song, and yours by far has picked up so much more in this than 99% of the others. Loved it. Kasey is a force of nature and leaves it all out there - every time. So much to see but your next stop has to be .. 'Ain't no little Girl' - live at the Bluegrass Underground. You will fall in love with all of Kasey's stuff - absolutely unique.

thanks so much! means a lot, thanks for watching!

Absolutely you need to listen to her more. Her breakout song was Am I Not Pretty Enough, a fu@k you to the radio stations who refused to play her songs.They played that on every station here in Australia. She has many albums. Her family's bwnd where she started was The Dead Ringer Band. She is a fan of Eminem' & her life mirrored Lose Yourself, which is why it resonates so deeply with her. During Covid shut down, with nothing to do, she took one of the most iconic rap songs of all time, tore it apart, restructured it, & made it her motherfu@king own!

Kasey's vocal approach throughout the song gives added gravitas to Eminem's lyrical genius by turning it, from the original structure meant to hype you up and urge you not to surrender to bumps in the road, into a cry of desperation from a woman who has been kicked and beaten down but will not ever give up. I love this rendition with all my soul. Epic song. Epic reaction.

You're spot on. The interpretation of the second verse especially is something special. Brilliant singer and genius lyrical writing of this complexity mix marvelously.

No need to apologize for stopping. We’re here for your commentary so we can go back and listen to the original with your insights. Hands are important!

Kasey is the master of many instruments. Banjo is just one of them.

Saw Kasey play this live on Saturday at the Red Hot Summer Concert at the Roche Estate, Cessnock. Blew our minds!

Her folkstyle yodel bluegrass sound is amazing in this. I love seeing one of our amazing Aussie artists getting some love and credit.

I've seen about 50 reactions, and a lot of them talk about the breathy/raspy/breaking aspects of her vocal technique, but you bring in the emotional aspect - the desperation and pain.

Kasey brings so much emotion to Ems lyrics. I love Kasey, try Ain't no little girl, Not Pretty Enough or The Captain. The latter was actually featured in an episode of The Sopranos

There are so many elements to this song, it's worth watching a couple of more times. Or a couple of hundred like me.... LOL Beyond the heart felt lyrics and Kasey's passionate, emotional performance, there is also the band. From her father on slide guitar, the guitarist adding vocals, the base player, the drummer unleashed. But did you notice the guy on keyboards? Everyone plays their role in the drama!!

The third verse sung in first person is more aggressive than Em!

You should listen to "i aint no little girl". She really means that one as well

She has lived this song! Ain't No Little Girl is a great original song by Kasey that is brilliant! She has so many, but that is my favourite.

Em does a fairly good job of covering Kasey's song!

The beauty of this is those emotions were always there in the lyrics but the relentless cadence of rap doesn't allow itself to convey subtler emotions well. She truly took the song and made it transcend it's genre and become even better by doing so. I am pretty sure Mathers would be proud that she not only got it but was able to bring out just how good his songwriting truly is. The arrangement is insanely good taking it down speed wise by about 40% and the moment it goes all Janis Joplin is epic because of the relative stillness of what came before. Great reaction too.

Enjoy the trip. (Oh, and then "Not Pretty Enough", perhaps her biggest mainstream hit.

Great reaction, but I must say I am not a fan of too many pauses. I can understand that is your way of reacting to the song, but i guess it's just me. Shout out for the keyboard player and also for her Dad on lap slide/steel guitar. Just a tremendous cover from Kasey. My fav song of hers used to be "Rattlin' Bones'' but I'm afraid it has to be demoted to second since I've seen this. And I have seen it about 70-80 times now.

She's certainly put everything into the performance. But unfortunately, her voice reminds me of chalk scratching a wet blackboard, so I've rarely listened to any of her music... I've been aware of it from "Not Pretty Enough" through "The Captain " etc. But it's just not what I like.

Australias Janis Joplin

Kasey sang/played this song with her whole soul, and it was a delight to hear, but people need to stop suggesting it's better than Eminem's version for clicks. He wrote it and won a Grammy and an Oscar for it. There's no debate.

How did I know you would stop and talk over her applause. No respect…never do that. Not cool.

Why do I react to narcissistic singers?? I tell myself everytime! I was hoping her analysis was at the end. But no! I have to sit through them singing. Its painful! When will they realise that the music brings us to them not the other way around. I've already formed an opinion on the song. What you say doesn't matter. You need to go and critique a pub singer! 22min really?
