THESE LADIES BROUGHT THE FIRE! First Time Hearing Postmodern Jukebox - All About That Bass Reaction!

[@99sheepy]

Morgan James doing Dream On with PMJ is an absolute must. Her version gives a clear meaning to the lyrics.

[@agnesregards2286]

absolutely!

[@nitelite78]

I was impressed by Morgan James's Maroon 5 Maps cover. Much better than the original too. And very different.

[@xtravert2012]

Morgan is DA BOMB!!

[@glennelfmann3143]

Scott Bradlee is a musical genius!!

[@umpdaddy1]

Haley then Morgan then Ariana. You've seen Haley's Creep which is fabulous but you really, REALLY need to see Morgan doing Dream On. Morgan trained at Juliard for opera, went to Broadway and graduated to jazz. She is amazing. Casey Abrams was on American Idol with Haley and they became good friends and collaborators. Haley and PMJ doing Seven Nation Army and Don't Speak are must see. PMJ is a deep, deep rabbit hole.

[@sheilaholmes8455]

I voted for both on American Idol.

[@allenwhitmer8192]

​yeah, Haley and James Durbin, in my opinion were better than the final 2. It was obvious that J-Lo and Randy were against Haley, and she wasn't having it. Then Steven Tyler came out and told her forget everything Randy and J-Lo said because they were wrong and the crowd backed that up. Steven later said that was one of the reasons he quit , because they were playing favorites and he wasn't going to play that game

[@sheilaholmes8455]

@@allenwhitmer8192 JLo was downright nasty to Haley.

[@TonyM1961]

It's not often that you will find a cover that's actually better than the original, but PMJ really nailed this one

[@stevedahlberg8680]

PMJ always kills it. I've watched tons of videos from that project but I hadn't seen this one but I love how they take it total New Orleans. Perfect. And I love the fact that the bass player dude kicks It off, lol.

[@charlesrubio7650]

Every time I see post modern I appreciate their music and style.....

[@lefty3141591]

A fun reaction. It is amazing how the presentation can impact the meaning of a song. PMJ have impressed me with what they are able to do by changing up the sound of the song.

[@annaradlinger1107]

This is a great video. The song is so nice from this group. The flavor is very 1940's. The three women singing give off the vibes of listening to the The Andrew's Sisters. Jazzy, swing, & soulful sounds. ❤❤❤

[@arnodobler1096]

[@mikeconway9849]

Great reaction, Sam and Phil! I'm so glad you circled back to PMJ. Thank you, Mark, for the request! I've seen both Haley and Morgan live, and each of them are fantastic singers. Morgan and PMJ's cover of Aerosmith's Dream On really shows her powerhouse vocals. And yes, definitely better than the orinal.

[@surlechapeau]

Can't wait to see Morgan live next month !!! Sam/Phil, check out this Jawdropping performance by Morgan doing an Aretha Franklin song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4CkomeFip5pp5o .

[@raycardy4843]

Indeed! I was lucky enough to see them earlier this month in the UK as part of their 10th Anniversary Tour, one of the singers was Ashley Campbell - daughter of the great Glen Campbell! 🥰

[@angelaarnold2051]

Meghan's version is for the girls who need self respect and I loved it. This version is for the musicians! They all had a blast with the New Orlean's vibe and the love of the bass fiddle! Loved it.

[@jaybourne1185]

great reaction guys.... this was the first postmodern jukebox i saw and still one of my favorites. it does excellent job of representing the overall experience of what pmj does so well. not just the excellent vocalist, musicians and arrangement but meticulous implementation of "vintage" character though their outfits, expressions, movements and setting that virtually transfers you back in time. its also great how each of the women are unique in vocal attributes and styles yet can then also harmonize so well together... in addition, the dual bass play was very creative touch and notice how it ends with the bass getting the last word.... well, because its "all about the bass". 😎

[@kenrobins6262]

Great reaction to a great rendition. I especially like 11:23 when it sounds like Phil says "Postmodern Juice Box". (Just teasing, but it does!) Yes, listen to Morgan James singing "Dream On" with the group.

[@Hubbles41]

Morgan James, blonde on the right, doing Maps. What a power house of a voice!

[@PatCoppock]

"The Blonde" is Morgan James. She has a "rabbit hole" of her own. You must hear her version of "Dream On" with PMJ.

[@Gort-Marvin0Martian]

I remember when this first came out. I watched it over and over. BTW, credits refer to sax but I'm pretty sure that is the clarinet player. And he was great. That's my instrument of choice although I played other instruments. This is just magnificent.!!! Thanks for reentering it into my brain. Your comments were spot on!! As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.

[@jamesdamiano8894]

Them doing Bad Romance is pretty cool also. Have you guys ever seen Puddles Pity Party, if not then you would have some fun with him. Especially the two big mashups.

[@stevelitteral]

I love the old Rag Time music. This was great. Thanx😎👍👍

[@ThomasThorson]

I've seen both Haley Reinhart and Morgan James in concert (independent of PMJ) and they have two of the absolute best voices on the planet. Well worth bringing them on the channel as solo artists.

Everyone at PMJ is beyond talented(singers, musicians, tap dancers, etc.), but often times their takes on certain songs can be very hit or miss for me, that being said, this is one of the HITS for sure.

[@karlsmith2570]

12:11 Hey Phil and Sam, Some other PMJ covers that you should definitely check out are Black Hole Sun and Seven Nation Army

[@NyarlathotepAD]

Long time coming, the return to PMJ, i hope you'll continue on this journey with them. I'd suggest one of my favorite covers "Maps" for next enjoyment.

[@daisypooch4034]

You need to do PMJ cover of white stripes 7 Nation Army and listen to both the original first followed by Post Modern Jukebox!!! It will blow you away!!! Stellar composition, choreography and performance from both bands!! And completely unique unto themselves!!

[@sirkat344]

I would suggest 7 Nation Army to see Haley doing a '30s New leans twist that brings in stylings of Ella Fitzgerald, Billlie Holliday and...Jessica Rabbit (of course) . It has the best look at her scat ability. There's plenty of great PMJ though

[@russrollins9978]

I suggest checking out a couple of Morgan James' Post Modern Jukebox songs. Dream on, is a great cover of the Aerosmith classic, and Maps, a cover of a Maroon 5 song that will give you chills

Original version: I'm a little big and if you don't like it eff off. This version: I'm a little big and I know you like it.

[@larryairgood4320]

Great choice and a favorite at their live performances. No bad choices, but since you enjoy some Paul Simon, PMJ covered Simon's "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover" with a New Orleans "Second Line" Style Cover (their description). Myself, one of my favorites would be "Bad Romance-- Vintage 1920's Gatsby Style Lady Gaga Cover featuring Ariana Savalas & Sarah Reich" Love watching how much fun Sarah has tap dancing.

[@TxFlyBoy1]

Haley Reinhart singing "Don't Speak", "Seven Nation Army", and "Mad World" are great follow-ups. And Morgan James is a powerhouse as well...her performance of "Dream On" and "Gethsemane" are great next steps into highly enjoyable journey that this Juliard trained professional's performances provide.

[@jpdj2715]

Scott Bradlee in a genius way rotates musicians in his PMJ from a pool of extremely good performers that yet are called "musical outcasts" - by themselves inn the first place. It's his version of the Got Talent and Voice world, with cloudy interweb revenue, where performers are commodities that never become world famous and consequently never get expensive and consequently never get rich. At least he understands musical qualities a lot better than some Simon ever can, while taking loads of tangenti in order to finance the new rich celebrity lifestyle off of that business model.

[@JerryRoppe]

I agree, this blows the original away.

[@kenttaylor9238]

Fun fact: Hailey Reinhart was the voice of young Bill on the Netflix series, F is for Family.

[@markrolman1034]

Scott Bradley is a musical genius. I have only seen a very few PMJ covers that weren't as good as the original. I saw this probably a couple of years ago and I agree that one blows to original one away.

[@stevenmotchan2048]

You guys are off your rocker. This is a very nice cover and it's obvious a lot of talented people put a lot of work into it but not better than the original. The original video has 2.6 Billion views. That's over 2500 million more views than PMJ and as you said came out around the same time.

[@stevenmotchan2048]

@user-kv2tj4du8p I didn't see it as quality over quantity. The girl who sang the first PMJ verse obviously was the best vocalist of all in terms of range and dyn amics but her enunciation wasn't very clear and I preferred Megan's vocals for continuity thru the song. The bass playing by the two players seemed like a circus act and didn't add anything to the song.

[@RustySax1949]

@@stevenmotchan2048 - I totally agree with you that Haley's enunciation is mush, which seems to be her style if you watch other videos of her. Slurred jazzy mush, you might say. A good vocalist with a decent range and dynamics, yes, but the mushy enunciation style, for me, is like fingernails on a chalkboard! Morgan (the blonde), is a Julliard-trained opera singer, who has appeared in five different Broadway musicals and branched out into soul and jazz. She has said in several different interviews that she really pays close attention to a song's lyrics, and with her vocal training, always, always, always, produces crisp, clear enunciation, regardless of what style of music she's singing: Operatic, Broadway, Pop, Soul or Jazz. A very hard-working artist that still takes voice lessons every week when she's home in NYC! The third vocalist, Arianna Savalas, is a respected jazz singer, who actually specializes in burlesque! Besides her rich alto voice, she can be hysterically comedic with her performances, especially with live audiences. She has often toured with PMJ as their emcee, as well as many, many cabaret performances. She's also a Harvard graduate, after studying at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. A very talented lady on her own.

[@joeturner1181]

This video was the gateway drug to Post Modern Jukebox, Haley Reinhart, and Morgan James for me. Haley w/ PMJ on Creep and Seven Nation Army are outstanding. Morgan w/PMJ on Dream On, Take Me to Church, and Sweet Child 'o Mine are just as good, if not better than, the originals. Haley and Morgan do a duet of Dear Prudence (with just Morgan's husband Doug on guitar) that's definitely better than The Beatles' version.
