You know the band Baseballs? They got famous with their Cover of Rihannas 'umbrella'. With huge Elvis vibes.

[@bertjones3010]

I like your observation of her yodel ability. She has a performance out there of her singing LeAnn Rhimes Blue yodel.

[@bertjones3010]

Just reviewed your videos and I was pleased to see you were intrigued with Diana Ankudinova, as was I, even though I was most unhappy with everyone going gaga over the tommee profitt dark version of can't help falling in love. More of a vocal exercise than singing a song. I do want to mention one other vocalist who has been on the scene for the past twenty-five or so years, mostly with several bands, the most recent being the very popular (in Europe mostly) symphonic metal band Nightwish. This was not where I first heard (oh - haha - her name is Floor Jansen) her sing which was the beginning of her solo projects. The first was a rendition of Phantom of the Opera with Henk Poort and the second which reached my core, a solo of the song Shallow. Both were on a Dutch show, Beste' Zangers in 2019. Look, she is not exotic like Dimash or Diana. What she has in spades though is a mastery of her instrument. Not unlike Lara Fabian but with a more broader range of comfort in different genre's than Lara. You might find in your comment section, most people who talk about Floor do it in the same breath as Nightwish. Huge fanbase. And while they are very talented, I like Floor more along the lines of how Diana does it where the focus is on her, and not in competition with her bandmates. Live versions are so much more organic than recorded music so I'd point you in that direction. Just to give you a slice of her solo projects I'll post a list with links. (and look, the bottom line is this, I don't really care if you don't react to her, but you would be cheating yourself of someone special if you don't take a listen if just for yourself.) So, to promote Floor I'm going to take the liberty of posting a selected playlist of live performances that I consider the most enjoyable for me from her catalog of solo projects. 2019 - Beste' Zangers Solo cover of "Shallow" (Lady Gaga) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2eboZhqlsRssM0 Duet cover of "Phantom of the Opera" w/ Henk Poort - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pp2mhJagq6mCgK8 Classical, cover of "Vilja Lied" in German - kzbin.info/www/bejne/opSveGiOZs5lh68si=HUiy9AYavOrwSANH 2021 - solo Amsterdam Concert **You will find these are from her channel and the entire concert is there, professionally taped provided by her fans through crowdsourcing** "Storm in a Glass" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZLbZqGJhadsqpo "Slow, Love, Slow" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHOqaXqarrGMes0 "Nemo" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5bFmWeKqrWSjsk 2022 - Singles from her 2023 released solo album.

[@JeffTokayer]

Wow! I must have watched over 100 reactions to this video, but this one beats them all. Congratulations for giving us a true music lesson with this reaction. Seven Nation Army and Don’t Speak are also great collaborations between Haley Reinhart and PMJ.

[@SirHairless]

Thanks, I appreciate it

[@DavidTateVA]

Like everyone else, I'd love to see you react to PMJ and Haley doing "Seven Nation Army". Instead of 50's torch song like this one, that one is New Orleans funeral jazz.

[@neetgupta1]

Really enjoyed this reaction Sir Hairless! I'm a PMJ fan. They have done some brilliant, different covers. My favourites are probably Seven nation army, take me to church, all about that bass, Bad Romance and many others. They do 20s, 30, 40, 50s, 60, covers and others. Always with a cool twist. Look forward to hearing more reactions to them. I think you will enjoy doing them because they are musically very interesting.

[@SirHairless]

They certainly seem to be, based on this 🎶 Thanks for the reco's!

[@franciscojavierp.7162]

Thanks again for this music lesson. I really didn't know why I liked this version so much, I always thought it was because of Haley's voice and especially because of the modifications they had made to the song. I think that at the end of the day it's everything as a whole, every detail is very well taken care of, because the black and white presentation with a distribution of the musicians, very "50's", all this transports you to that atmosphere. Regarding your analysis, as usual, superb, you make us notice details that, although we enjoy them, we don't really realize that they are there, so, as I started, thank you very much.

[@Maria...-mo5qm]

I love the ‘jazzification’ of songs frequently present in the Postmodern Jukebox performances, and Haley surely delivered a beautiful and classy version of the classic ‘Creep’! It was wonderful to watch your reaction full of surprises and emotions, as well as your great discussion packed with juicy information. Another Postmodern Jukebox performance that deserves a future review is the duet between Haley and Puddles Pity Party performing ‘Mad World’ (I hope you’re not afraid of clowns because Puddles Pity Party is a very cool clown with a super-rich voice and a peculiar stage presence that I appreciate - another one by him that I absolutely love is his cover of ‘Royals’). Thank you very much, Sir (and the Patreon who suggested it)❣

[@shelleyo]

That Mad World with Haley & PPP led me to PPP with PMJ covering Royals… which was my gateway to PTX Royals as the algorithm suggested… and then that led to Hallelujah and the deep dive into Pentatonix and associated tributaries If you can get past the 🤡 part, his voice is so rich and nice… quite liked his Sia cover of Chandelier too!

[@Maria...-mo5qm]

@@shelleyo Hello Shelley!👋Thank you for sharing your fortuitous and exciting journey towards the discovery of a lot of amazing music!✨Even though I’m not a fan of clowns, I really appreciate PPP’s vocal performances and I agree with you that his interpretation of Sia’s Chandelier is also great👌:)

[@venettaperry-sh7su]

Oh wow, another treat from Sir Hairless!! I've always been conflicted by Radiohead's Creep - so depressingly shattering, so sad and also irresistible. This arrangement and performance have put a different twist to it - thank you for your suggestion Christopher! And SH - you rock! Absolutely!! 👊🙏❤️

[@SirHairless]

[@HaleysTusk]

Haley was new to PMJ, so their fans didn’t know what to expect when Haley first asked to cover PMJ’s Creep arrangement in Lyon, France (the video is in KZbin) It was the crowd response at the end which was what convinced Scott Bradlee to do something he’d not done before, re-record covers he’d already covered. So a few days after Lyon, they entered a Zurich studio in their day off and re-recorded Creep & All Bout That Bass & another cover (Haley participated in all 3, the 3rd song as a back up singer). Both the reimagined Creep & All About That Bass are #s one and two most viewed videos on PMJs channel. Haley’s PMJ covers make up most of PMJs most viewed videos. Don’t Speak was Haley’s most recent PMJ collab after a five year hiatus

[@SirHairless]

Thanks for the info!

[@rmdewberry2482]

TY for this! My fave cover of Creep! PMJ & Haley are just magic together. Haley has a huge familial background in jazz, I believe, and is really in her element here.

[@eekus1494]

Haley's high school music director noted when she was on Idol that "she's been exposed to a huge variety of music her whole life, and it shows comfortably in anything she attempts to sing." Her parents have had a band all of her life that plays classic rock. Her father was also in another band that said of him: "everyone will hear a lifetime of devotion to the blues, jazz and rock in the incredible, emotional guitar playing of Harry Reinhart." Haley was the first vocalist for her high school's jazz band, which performed at the Montreux and Umbria jazz festivals. She also studied jazz piano at a local community college before auditioning for Idol.

[@r.p.8906]

16:50. Oh what power this is! She reminds me of our late Amy Winehouse. ‼

[@medijunus8998]

Beautiful song! One of my lifetime fave song. 🥰And this rendition super awesome. As a jazzy lover, it really caught me in. Thank you for your reaction and the details explanation, excellent as always 🙏🏻

[@sandrak.robbins6305]

Thank you. I love Postmodern Jukebox and I've loved Haley Reinhard since she was on American Idol. She knows how to transform a song into her own. So good! Thanks for explaining the differences between this and the original. Nice!

[@annabatr]

Thanks a lot, dear Sir Hairless. I'm adore the song in this Postmodern and Haley performance. It was intresting video

[@karajoy581]

It's PMJ!! Second favorite to VoicePlay, who also did a cover of Creep and its a totally different feel! Ok, I LOVED this, now do PMJ with Miche (Mickey) Bradon. Maybe Sweet Child Of Mine or anything she does by Prince. I'm telling you, stone cold diva! PostModern Jukebox is just so cool, they always have a fresh take, totally remake songs you know into something totally new. I love them! The formula is big band remix with a stone cold diva, it's just always a treat. And Hailey is amazing, that's not the first time she's done that scatting, she was so comfortable in that pocket! That was hot Haley! She did 7 Nation Army with PMJ too and it lives on repeat on my playlist. So glad you found them!!! More please!!

[@lindafletcher1628]

So many to choose from PMJ - Seven Nation Army, You may want to consider listening to Joni Mitchell singing A Case of You or comparing her singing the song she wrote Both Sides Now in her 20s versus her 60s. The later rendition is hauntingly beautiful.

[@Discobiscuit372]

Haley does a great version of I Put A Spell On You. 👍

[@paulavasko4633]

I haven't listened to many of them, but I enjoy your reactions that I have listened to!

[@bethcoussou]

I’ve been looking forward to you reaction and analysis of PMJ featuring Haley! She is extremely talented. She’s not your ordinary female vocalist, and I love her voice and style. Would love to see you analyze/react to a couple more of her with PMJ. White Stripes cover of “Seven Nation Army” and Soundgarden’s cover of “Black Hole Sun”.

[@heatherarmstead]

Not yet! It's on my list though 👌🏽

[@leslieholland7843]

I'm so glad you reacted to this song!❤❤

[@raycardy4843]

Haley and PMJ are an awesome combination! As far as I know, their covers are recorded live, usually in a single take! My all-time PMJ favourites are 'Don't Speak' with Haley, and 'All About That Bass' with Haley, Morgan James and Ariana Savalas (daughter of TV's 'Kojak'!). Haley was brought up in a musical household, and her father taught her to 'scat' from an early age, so she's very comfortable doing that! By the way, there is percussion in the beginning, the drummer is playing very softly with brushes - it's a kind of running joke with PMJ that he's usually hidden behind the singer/s..! I'm so looking forward to seeing PMJ in my local theatre on 3rd May as part of their current tour! 🤩

[@dalemaddened780]

[@user-sy6rj8fq5z]

It's amazing, I have discovered this one yesterday. Thank you for analysis. I was impressed by her vocal abilities and an arrangement. Haley's power, passion and some techniques (you mentioned mini-yodels) reminded me Diana Ankudinova.

[@AudioVile]

As usual, your intricate analysis was outstanding. I personally think this specific performance is one for the record books. Everything... arrangement, vocal, instrumentals... everything just came together, resulting in a masterpiece! This was the best I've ever heard her.

Isn't this a fantastic song?. " I want a perfect soul" is such an incredible sadness to believe. The soul is already perfect but the beliefs imposed from whoever and whatever are the real problem. 🏅

I always look forward to your reactions! Now that you're covering so many of my favorite artists I jump on youtube when I first get up and go straight to your channel so thank you very much for starting off my days in a great mood. I saw PMJ last month and their show was truly an experience. Comedy, tap dancing and of course incredible singers/artists. The crowd was great too, a LOT of people in 1920's garb. I highly suggest Old Town Road, it's not as popular as others but the singer is the legendary and incomparable jazz singer Miche Braden

[@SirHairless]

[@lauraa4294]

Another great analysis! I love this version and have listened to it many times but to hear your analysis made me aware of so much more than what I've been hearing. Also, I love it when you get a surprise (like the scatting) that makes you smile.

[@shelleyo]

I remember my first time seeing this video… stunning the way she moved in and made herself at home in this song. Haley & PMJ have more recently covered No Doubt’s Don’t Speak- (60’s style cover). I loved how it uses more instruments and has an entertaining character (not a 🤡…re my comment to Maria elsewhere here…..this time) on a couple instruments Definitely recommend it and some others in my Maria comment.

[@lindabull4185]

There have been so many covers of Creep it's hard to keep up with them all. Must admit that showed a surprise of power in her voice that I wasn't expecting. As you are getting in to Voiceplay, it would be nice for you to compare their version of this song. It is my favourite version. Liberty's now. If you could listen to one of Dimash's shorter songs. Tu vas ma detruire. He sung it in 2016 whilst in Paris winning a competition before Singer. However, he sang it with a Kasak international opera singer & friend of his. He was 19 in this song. Carry on with these great reactions & music analysis. Through you, I am like you, rediscovering my music again. Unlike you it is the theory side that after not using for 30+ years is coming back to me. Thank you so much. 😋

[@jenniferworley7115]

Love PMJ and Haley is definitely one of my favorite featured singers. Miche Braden is another of my favorite singers that performs with PMJ, and I have yet to hear an arrangement by Scott Bradley that I haven't felt was incredible. Love the concept of contemporary songs being done in a vintage style. So happy to see you react/analyze these artists and as always, enhance our listening pleasure and knowledge. Thank you for your time and analysis. ✌🤗

[@carolburnett190]

PMJ with Haley…Seven Nation Army (although this is my favorite). Morgan James also does amazing work with PMJ, specifically Dream On (Areosmith cover that I normally don’t like covers of). Haley, Morgan, and another girl whose name I have forgotten do a marvelous job of All About That Bass, and it includes another American Idol alum from Haley’s season, Casey Abrams (they did several jazz numbers on American Idol) on both vocals and stand up bass. Thanks for your analysis! I also enjoyed seeing you get really wrapped up in the music and almost forget to pause!

I really enjoy a creative and transformed cover. Her voice suited that style perfectly. Ouf! What a key change! I couldn’t help thinking about old fashioned “stripper music”... lol I guess because of the time signature, the sliding trombone and the singer’s languorous way of singing. Great R&A.

I enjoy noticing every reactor smile at the scat. But it is almost only the female reactors that are startled by how low Haley goes on the last "weirdo" - presumably because they inherently know how they would sound trying that note. Adam is certainly my favorite of PMJ's basses, and he is currently serving as music director (and bass) in the touring group, who I caught live last month when they were in New Hampshire. PMJ has many wonderful videos on KZbin. You might, in particular, enjoy what they did with Aerosmith's "Dream On", featuring Morgan James (though there arealso a number of others featuring Haley).

[@angielofton6372]

So many things about this version of this tune I love, starting with the live one camera, one take set up of all the PMJ videos. I love Scott playng the flutter when she sings "float like a feather”. The key change is miraculous, I’ve heard Dinah Washington slip an amazing key change in and then make a comment lyrically about it in song. Speaking of Dinah, Sarah, Ella , or any other great jazz singer, even though they all have great diction, they also elongate words for effect, I think Haley style takes after that with some rock elements as well e.g. raspy belts. I love her, she’s quite amazing.

[@ammonwright7122]

I believe if you really want to understand Postmodern Jukebox (PMJ), you have to understand the man behind it, Scott Bradlee. He's in every PMJ video playing the piano and not looking at the camera. He doesn't normally seek the spotlight, just acts like part of the backing music, but once a long time ago, he actually made a video where he shows off his unique musical talents. The title, ["Twinkle, Twinkle" Piano Variations- Evolution of Popular Music] is deceptively boring, like his persona in PMJ videos, but I feel it is a demonstration of a unique genius: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5ung2RqrpZsnLM Definitely worth the watch.

Sir Hair,I'd love to recommend, if you're interested that is", in seeing another video & song of 'PMJ' + Hayley Reinhart performing "Seven Nation Army", a cover song from band "White Stripes"? * Just like the song 'Creep' Haley adapts the original song to her own voice but keeps all the lyrics & again she makes another Masterpiece! 'Just unbelievable to witness & hear her! Vintage New Orleans Dirge White Stripes Cover ft. Haley Reinhart: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXOZeYxup55racU Thank you for your reaction, I learned so much from you than I have from any other person who has reacted to this song over the last 5 years I have watched of "Reaction Video's" esp. from Musicians, etc! So TY, Sir Hairless

I especially enjoyed the quality of her vibrato--not sure what specific quality--speed? It seemed more "rounded" than many vibratos. Also I kept hearing polyphonous notes--2 or 3, for which I blame you. 😂 (you do seem to be responsible for the change in what I hear in music.)

Hahaha! You're right Tina - SH is a music educator wizzard! 🧙‍♂️ 🎶 🌟

Any chance you could disect Justin Crum's version Creep on BGT kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoGum5eKqZKegcU ( other versions not as great) and Vincint Cannady's version on The Four Finale kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYG3ZHpndqesasU and thank you for knowledge, raw talent and humility.

PMJ rotates members so it's always changing. The name refers to the practice of making modern songs sound vintage. Haley was on American Idol and was rather forgettable till she picked up this old jazz nightclub singing style and that took off.

Great breakdown. I really get a kick out of your reactions because you’re so busy concentrating on all of the techniques, but you’re not reacting the way others do, like dropping your jaw. 🙀Lol. So it’s hard to tell until after you’re done, if you’ve actually enjoyed it.

[@SirHairless]

Haha thanks 😅 Yes, I tend not to over-react for the camera (in fact, most of the time I forget I'm being filmed when listening to the music, so I dread watching my face when it gets to the editing ) Apparently my face - even though it doesn't move too much - is still a dead giveaway as to whether I like something or not

@@SirHairlessappreciate your analysis, I’ve seen many since this came out in 2015, and you’re able to bring things I’ve not heard before. As far as your reactions, subtlety can also speak volumes, in this video, that’s definitely the case. If you’re interested in doing another Haley reaction, may I direct you to IMO the best studio recording that highlights all the colours in her voice, accompanied only by a guitar played by her Dad, Harry. Look up “Haley Reinhart Chess Records”. She covers Blind Faith’s “Can’t Find My Way Home” & an original bluesy “Don’t Know How to Love You”. Cheers

@@HaleysTusk Thank you And for the recommendations too

[@Angelonearth88]

Evvie McKenney - What Child is this React to it Sir...please

[@itsapseudonym568]

You should do VP version of Creep is the best version I’ve ever seen. I really want to hear your analysis of Voiceplay’s version. You always greatly increase my appreciation of the music I listen to.

[@SirHairless]

I plan on doing it in the future at some point! Have a few other VP reactions lined up for the near future first

[@Hundhammer]

[@wellsmerehouse]

I LOVE this arrangement.

[@SuperSchooni]

Don't Speak!!!

[@SirHairless]

Is this a request for the song “Don’t Speak” or are you telling me to not speak 😅

[@SuperSchooni]

@@SirHairless yes😎

[@audreywalker9025]

I didn’t like this song on first hearing and nothing has changed. It’s ❤about a miserable person who is looked down on. Why sing about this? And I don’t like her voice (sounds babyish). At least Scott in Pentatonix made it real.
