So many great songs. My personal favorite is a cover of Britney Spears' song "Toxic". The arrangement is stellar, and the band is on fire. Melinda Doolittle' vocals complete a perfect package. PMJ is definitely a rabbit hole to investigate. Thanks for the reaction. Much love and respect from Texas.
great reaction guys. morgan james is an amazing powefull singer and performer and fits perfectly with the postmodern jukebox (aka. pmj) family. however, this performance takes her to another level and is her best one... imho. the string arrangement is also superb. the way the guy on the cello plucks it like a guitar after her first run is super cool (never seen that before). as good as this is though it's not their absolute best, for that i highly recommend "creep" with haley reinhart. it is a masterpiece and maybe one the best covers ever done of any song. 😎
Great reaction! PMJ features different singers. IMO, two of their best are Morgan and Haley Reinhart. Each has sung 6 or 7 songs, and all of them are fantastic. You should react to Creep featuring Haley and All About That Bass featuring both of them.
Saw her in concert last year. Told her after the show, "I think I just saw Steven Tyler waving a white flag." Check her versions of Hallelujah and Sledgehammer.
The first time I heard this cover I just couldn't get Steven Tyler's voice out of my head. It wasn't until I listened for the third time that I could truly appreciate Morgan's cover. I've been a BIG fan of Morgan since 2014 and I absolutely LOVE her!!! Morgan studied opera at Julliard (her classical training is why she has those big pipes) and has performed on Broadway (Motown, The Musical, Godspell, The Addams Family and others). Under the wing of Berry Gordy Jr. (of Motown Records), she was signed under Epic Records and released two albums. She decided to break out on her own and started Hedonist Records LLC as an Indy. She has her own band and is married to the guitar player, Doug Wamble. If I may suggest, check these other covers from Morgan out as well. All About That Bass, Meghan Trainor. This is where I first discovered Morgan James ua-cam.com/video/aLnZ1NQm2uk/v-deo.html Call My Name, Prince - Prince rarely gives permission to record his songs but within minutes of hearing Morgan's cover, he said yes ua-cam.com/video/DhbS3BFtXDk/v-deo.html Maps, Maroon 5 - I'll be honest here. I hadn't heard Maroon 5's Maps before so I went and listened to it. IMO, Morgan does it so much better! ua-cam.com/video/8gO_lxThc1M/v-deo.html Can't Stand the Rain, Ann Peebles - LOVE this, one of my favorites. ua-cam.com/video/Nu9TbHbUWDA/v-deo.html Ain't No Way, Aretha Franklin - Another top favorites of mine.

Here's one of my favorite originals by her: Reckless Abandon - Morgan performs all the vocals in this song so you may want to listen to it over and over to catch it all. In fact, she does all the vocals for the entire Reckless Abandon album. ua-cam.com/video/08e3z1ehZgU/v-deo.html Just for the fun of it, here's one that I recorded the first time I saw her live in concert at The Dakota in Minneapolis, MN doing the same song, Reckless Abandon ua-cam.com/video/rAgYQj7bBes/v-deo.html And here's some more originals. You Thought Not (Spike Lee uses this song on his series She's Gotta Have It.) ua-cam.com/video/xCEarMTkG68/v-deo.html Give You Up ua-cam.com/video/vQYvTBkWkW8/v-deo.html Hunter ua-cam.com/video/-hl_Rtud67o/v-deo.html Morgan is one of the hardest workers in the industry. For example, Morgan dreamed that she performed Jesus Christ Superstar as Jesus and Shoshana Bean was Judas. She decided to put on an entire female production of JCS and started hand selecting some of the best vocalists, performers, musicians, producers and engineers in the business - all females. She put on a live concert at the Highline Ballroom and also recorded and released the entire score. Check out Gethsemane, you WILL be impressed! ua-cam.com/video/nuqVjC0XrkE/v-deo.html So yeah, I'm a Morgan fan. Big time. Check her out at www.morganjamesonline.com/
Welcome to the Morgan James Fan Club! Now on to "All About that Bass" with Casey Abrams, Haley Reinhart, Morgan James & Ariana Savalas (Telly's daughter) ua-cam.com/video/aLnZ1NQm2uk/v-deo.html , Haley Reinhart, Morgan James & Ariana Savalas "Burn" Sydney Australia - ua-cam.com/video/q5E2IsozXBQ/v-deo.html , "Maps" ua-cam.com/video/8gO_lxThc1M/v-deo.html and "I Really Don't Care" ua-cam.com/video/EddjOiFcp9Y/v-deo.html . Morgan and Haley cover "Dear Prudence" ua-cam.com/video/wv_Xhzwvjyg/v-deo.html is also a must! Then down the rabbit holes of Morgan and Haley's other tunes on-line. You will not be disappointed...
One of my favorite UA-cam covers from a rock song is Should I Stay Or Should I Go by The Cooltrane Quartet. Like this song, it puts a totally different spin on a classic. If you're going to redo something, make it your own.
Haley Reinhart performing "Creep" (yes...that Creep by the Scorpions), "Don't Speak", "Seven Nation Army", and "Mad World" (with Puddles) are great follow-ups. And Morgan James is a powerhouse as well...her performances of "All About That Bass" (with Haley Reinhart and Ariana Savales) and "Gethsemane" are great next steps into highly enjoyable journey that this Juliard trained professional's stellar voice provides. Loved your reaction, and I look forward to experiencing many more from you two. Scott Bradley, the genius behind the compositions and arrangments for PMJ is always on point...the variety is always refreshing and very entertaining.
Aerosmith is the most coolest and legendary rock in music Steven tyler was awesome his voice legendary joe Perry's guutar is cool they won awards i give it two thumbs up ❤❤
Which Postmodern Jukebox cover should we react to next?

Morgan James is unbeatable at this kind of singing. Blues, Jazz, Soul, Gospel... I've never heard a voice quite like hers.
Scott Bradlee is the genius behind PMJ. He's the piano player, arranger and assembles all the talent. It's a deep rabbit hole.

Morgan has done 10 covers with PMJ. Scott Bradley said she one of his favorite vocalist.
Saw her in concert last year. Told her after the show, "I think I just saw Steven Tyler waving a white flag."

PMJ has rotating vocalists. The two most notable are Morgan James & Haley Reinhart.
When Morgan does that knee lift, you know she's meaning business. She's a graduate of Julliard as an opera singer, and it shows.
Different singers (and dancers), different musicians. The constant is the pianist/arranger Scott Bradley, the originator of the concept.
AND NOW, for something different . . . . . "Barbie Girl" by Morgan James and PMJ! YOU'RE WELCOME !

So much better than the original. Check out Seven Nation Army with Haley Reinhart.
You need to listen to the PMJ version of creep. Really
This and "Creep" are probably their most famous covers. But any song featuring Puddles, Haley Reinhart, or Morgan James are gonna slap!
