GERMAN DUDE Reacts To PostmodernJukebox - 'All About That Bass'

[@HaleysTusk]

This video was recorded in Zurich Switzerland, the same day they recorded "Creep', Haley recorded 3 songs in total this day (back up vocals w/ Casey in the 3rd video) so you can forget all the people who said Haley was too tired/sick to sing "Creep". She had just landed in Berlin on a red eye a little over a week before they recorded this video and had been touring w/ the band from the word go, so adjusting to jet lag probably didn't help, so she didn't feel 100% but recorded PMJ's TWO most popular videos in one session. Haley is a pro and will never ask out.

[@BrianLarin]

Haley Reinhart is such a beautiful talent.

[@fun4318]

Haley at this point was on her very first tour with PMJ. Ariana Savalas and Morgan James at the time were PMJ regulars. As they were both mentors for Haley on this tour and as you can see, Haley was a fast learner.

[@NightFogFilms]

Ariana Savalas is the daughter of Telly Savalas (Kojak)

[@baskervillebee6097]

The guy on the floor is Casey Abrams. Lots of talent, too. This is 40s style so yes, pinups.

[@HaleysTusk]

The guy playing Clarinet is Ben Golder Novick, along w/ Bass player, Adam Kubota, were both college friends of Scott Bradlee's

[@rayray6982]

You gotta hear Haley Reinhart singing Seven Army Nation and Black Hole Sun....with these guys!!! fantastic

[@rayray6982]

gotta hear these guys with Morgan James singing Dream On!!!!

[@toddburton6570]

'Saw them live and it was incredible... Chastain Park in Atlanta...

[@chrishodgson6302]

Brilliant band. So many great singers/musicians to check out. Miche Braden, Sara Niemitz, Gunhild Carling, Cristina Gatti, Allison Young. Man, they’ve got a talent monopoly going on. Got tickets to see them in the UK next year. Hopefully it’ll happen.

[@j0hnn13K]

Obviously i had to go here as well when i noticed you had reacted to this song, there's a few fun facts to say about this video. First ofc we get Casey Abrams on vocals and bass, he's a very funny guy and a great musician who has sang and played several songs with PMJ as well. Then we get to the ladies, Haley you know by now and how ridiculously talented she is so instead i'm shifting focus on the blonde lady first. That lovely blonde lady is Morgan James who is just as ridiculously talented as Haley is, she's also a Julliard graduate. Julliard is THE school for performing arts in the USA, people like Robin Williams, Kevin Spacey, Miles Davis and John Williams all attended that school, so yeah... its a bit of a big deal hehehe (its near impossible to get into that school, you have to be really good already to even attempt to get in there) And i suggest checking out Morgan's songs with PMJ (and solo) for sure, she done amazing versions of Aerosmith's "Dream on", Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" and Maroon 5's "Maps" (a mediocre song by Maroon 5, an amazing song by PMJ and Morgan) so starting of with those is a great start i'd say. And then we get the other lovely lady, Ariana Savalas who happens to be the daughter of Telly Savalas, a big name Hollywood actor and academy award nominee, he's likely best known for his role as Kojak in the tv series of the same name, and his lollipop that he always was sucking on in that role after he quit smoking. Now the original song by Megan Trainor is a fun song, nothing too special but a fun song.. but this version is so much better... way better than the original. I also like that you can see the humor within PMJ in this video, its more clear in older videos but in this you still get hints of the fun they have. Thnx for the react Niko, again enjoyed it a great deal :) (ps that guy in the back who popped in for a split second is know as "Tambourine guy" he's hilarious)

[@HaleysTusk]

The guy who popped out from the back was Chip Thomas (Chipfunky) who was the touring drummer for PMJ in 2015. Scott lists the credits after the video. Tambourine guy didn't tour w/ PMJ every show, mostly when his schedule allowed it. I saw PMJ five times in 2015, I saw Tim Kubart (Tambourine Guy) only in the CA show, LA and San Diego. He wasn't in the show in the UK I saw in 2015.

[@j0hnn13K]

@@HaleysTusk oh ty, i was sure that was tambourine guy but you know them better than i do, so its Chip instead :)

[@HaleysTusk]

Fun Fact: Haley Reinhart debuted on tour live w/ PMJ in Berlin. Here's her debut singing the first song she covered w/ PMJ kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5Wwq2Osa9d1nZo And I got to see Haley in Berlin in 2017 on her solo tour, her first solo tour in Europe kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXTPmoGMepiNm8U

[@dfhowes]

This was my first PMJ video and I came across it quite by accident. I had heard of Haley Reinhart because of the controversy in American Idol (which, to be honest, I never watched). Love her sexy growl at 1:29. But while I was listening to Haley, I couldn't take my eyes off that blonde on the right. When she came up and harmonized, I thought, "Wow!" Then at 2:46 came "I'm bringing booty baaaaaaaack!" my jaw dropped. WOW! I couldn't wait for the video to end so I could find out who she was. Morgan James. Hmm, now let's look up everything I can find about her. She is my absolute favorite vocalist of all time. I listened to her every day - no exaggeration here - every day exclusively for two years. All shift long at work, and my commute to and from work. Still listen to her every day at work, five years later, although I mix other music in as well now. For years (well, a couple of decades actually), I stopped listening to music. Radio played the same crappy stuff and TONS of commercials. I just got sick of it. Now, thanks to PMJ, I'm listening again. BIG fan of Mogran, and a fan of Haley and Ariana Salavas. I feel bad for Ariana because as soon as I heard Morgan, everything else just didn't exist. But I looked her up (after a while - Morgan, you know) and like her as well. Her burlesque style is awesome - love it.

[@disconiko2514]

All of these ladies are certainly much more than just eye candy! Thanks so much for watching. Any recommendations on what I should react to next?

[@dfhowes]

@@disconiko2514 Well, thank you for asking! Well, no doubt someone here, if they haven't already, will suggest Haley's cover of Creep. They always do (and that's fine, it's a great cover). So if you haven't already checked it out . . . EDIT: Sorry, I see that you have already done that back at the end of 2020. As I stated above, my primary love is Morgan James so that's what I will focus on. I unashamedly promote her whenever I can and I will continue it here as well. I watched your reaction to Dream On and posted links for some follow up videos to react to. For everyone's convenience, I'll post it here as well. Some of the suggestions here, you've already covered and I've noted that by providing the original link and your reaction link as well. I include them both so your fans can follow more easily. There are so many good videos by Morgan but these below are some of my favorites that include PMJ's collaboration. 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲, Meghan Trainor. This is where I first discovered Morgan James.

The first two times I listened to this, I just couldn't get Steven Tyler's voice out of my head. It wasn't until the third time that I was able to truly appreciate Morgan's cover.

[@recoveringsoul755]

@@dfhowes well these are some great suggestions some I've seen and others I'll need to watch. This was my first PMJ exposure also, and Haley is great but I was already watching Morgan's subtle moves over there, then she came in and Wow!! And I'm a straight woman, lol. I think Morgan has a degree in music or something? Been a while since I looked her up.

[@dfhowes]

@@recoveringsoul755 Morgan is a graduate of the prestigious Julliard school. She wasn't accepted at first but Morgan wouldn't take no as an answer. 😁 She says to this day she doesn't know if someone dropped out and they moved her in or if they just caved in to her persistence and created an additional opening. Either way, they did the right thing. Morgan is the best!

I am a straight woman and I've watched this over and over again. The music is great, the ladies are beautiful and sensual with their slinky movements and provocative poses, you've got a blonde, a brunette and a redhead so those bases are covered. And did you notice they're all wearing Animal Print dresses? They're obviously having fun maybe that's why it's so enjoyable to watch. And those two guys playing the bass at the same time, how do they even do that?

I beg to differ with your one-word description of PMJ: the one word is not "badass", but rather "sexy"!

[@BrianLarin]

This group beats the crap out of top 40 singers bs

[@droppedpin1240]

Compare this performance vs Cardi B WAP performance one is sexiness and sultry the other was a sex performance on live tv. This video just proves how 3 woman can be such a dominate presence fully clothed with just their voice.
