Besides his beautiful voice, Stan Walker is a survival! He has been through so much in his life. There is a documentary on KZitem regarding his journey through stomach cancer and the after affects causing him not being able to sing. Since i accidentally listened to him sing I Am, I am hooked on this amazing young man.

To the host, thanks for doing this reaction. I just wanted you to know that Stan had his stomach removed because of a hereditary cancer syndrome and has a KZitem video on the treatment and recovery that he endured. He was unsure if he could ever sing again. He's using other parts of his body to support his singing, an amazing feat. On another video he shares parts of his life story before winning the Australian Idol. If you ever get to watch those, you'll understand how Stan Walker is able to invoke strong feelings from his listeners with his arrangements and music. And why he has loyal fans of all age groups all across Oceania and now beyond thanks in large part to these reaction videos. So, thanks again.

Great reaction, analysis and informative manner that even I could follow and appreciate. And Yes, this version of Amazing Grace included an original by Stan "I Surrender" and the singing/harmonies are a natural part of his indigenous culture as a "Maori" growing up in New Zealand. Just for clarification the Backing Vocal group are "The Standard", members Ani Nuku, Lilo Asiata, Nathan Peseta, and the Session band is "The Levites" (Named after one of the 12 tribes of Israel from the Old Testament) made up of Christmas Ropati (Guitar) and the Nansen brothers Ross (Drums), Jacob (Keyboard) and Junior (Bass). Hari Tau Hou (Happy New Year) Bethany. You remind me of my niece, similar features.

If you like Stan Walker music, you might want to check out the following: kzitem.info/news/bejne/y42ep6OQk5ppmZg Stan, Ria Hall, Troy Kingi, and Maisey Rika, perform “Aotearoa”, Land of the Long White Cloud, the native Maori name for their homeland. They normally sing in English, in styles ranging from jazz, soul, rock, but perform this in Maori. The last verse is the opening one from “God Defend New Zealand”, the fifty year old National Anthem. The first three were written by Stan. They’re very good vocalists. Enjoy!
