(J.Bass/M.Mathers/L.Resto - originally performed by Eminem)
Performed by Mandy Cheetham

Kobayashi’s video is a mix of literal representations of the Eminem lyrics along with more interpretive visual illustrations that allow the karaoke singer to read the song through images as an alternative to text. Cheetham chose to perform Lose Yourself because it speaks to everyone who has ever felt their fear and made the choice to face it with determination and spirit.

Alison S. M. Kobayashi is a visual artist working in video, performance, and print. She is currently studying at the University of Toronto at Mississauga, and Sheridan College in the art and art history program. In 2006, Kobayashi won the TSV Artistic Vision Award at Reel Asian for her video From Alex To Alex.

Mandy 'May' Cheetham has been a regular on the karaoke scene for three years, frequenting the Gladstone, Kick Ass Karaoke at the Rivoli, and Hip Hop Karaoke in Toronto and London. Cheetham is well known for her dynamic performances and was featured on Much Music's The New Music for Hip Hop Karaoke's one-year-anniversary celebration.
