  This cover makes it clear that Eminem is an exceptional writer.

  My husband went to high school w/ Eminem. We lived at 10 mile. He was at 8 mile. Worlds apart. My point is being from Detroit, regardless of your preferred genres, he's untouchable. Sacrosanct. I hated this before I heard one note. Until I heard the first 20 seconds. She absolutely hooked me! Her phrasing of words that are muscle memory to me was so unique that had to laser focus to follow the lyrics. I lost count of how many times she gave me total-body goosebumps! I was hooked! Then she whipped out the jams and rocked out on it! So brutally frank with such deep emotion; she gripped me to the soul! I've never, in 62 years of listening to alllll genres open mindedly, heard anything that hit me like this. That was a physical and emotional ride like i never had with music before and i will be seeking out everything I can by her. BRAVO! Thank you for this experience!

  Eminem’s original articulated the rage and frustration of his circumstances…Kasey’s cover ripped his lyrics open to reveal the underlying pain and desperation. Superb.

  This cover and the Spanish inquisition: the two things you just don't expect.

  Where Kasey’s “magic” is, is that while a lot of successful singers can tell a story, she’s a storyteller that can sing. Her first song that brought her to the attention of us here in Australia was called “Not pretty enough” where she’s telling her story of not being able to get airtime on the commercial radio. It went number 1. In 2017, it was added to the National Film and Sound Archives collection of historically and culturally important recordings.

  I am obsessed with this cover. The shift from hurt/vulnerability to defiance is incredible.  It gives me goosebumps every time

  It’s like hearing the words to your favorite song for the first time, after listening to it 100 times.

  Firstly let give props to the stones it takes to cover the biggest rap song in history from the greatest rapper in history. a song that won an Oscar and everyone alive has heard the original. Then to drop this masterpiece is something special, the creativity to take the song to a whole new level of emotion. Eminem was a millionaire telling his story after the fact more as an inspirational tale of keep dreaming and reaching for that dream. This version delivered the same story but gave the same lyrics a whole new level of the pain of that struggle, the life regrets of chasing your dream and missing out on life's other joys and commitments, then the anger at how one dream reaching crushes the dreams of people you miss out on. The steady build throughout is nothing short of perfection. I was so happy to see you finally put this on. I consider this probably the best live cover I have ever seen in my life.

  I think it was very kind and thoughtful of Kasey to allow Eminem to record her song.🤓🇭🇲<br>Seriously though, I&apos;m a 63 year old confirmed metalhead, (but I will listen to and appreciate anything that displays actual talent and depth), and this version of Em&apos;s rap gives me goosebumps every single time. I appreciate the original, but this gives it heart and soul, blood and bone, diesel and dust. Are you crying?... I&apos;m not crying, 𝘺𝘰𝘶&apos;𝘳𝘦 crying! Am not, it&apos;s you! You&apos;re crying!😂 Stop it! I&apos;m telling Mum!😂😂😂
