[@TheMightyOdin]

I turned the video on but was listening through blue tooth headphones as I walked through the house and had to stop what I was doing to listen. Piano and vocal both beautiful.

[@pjcornelius]

Beautiful performance by both Morgan and Julius. Love it.

[@barbaraphillips8386]

So beautiful. I never knew Stevie Wonder song this song. I first heard this song when Michael on the sitcom Good Times song it at Thelmas wedding. That was a very long time ago. He is awesome on that piano, and Morgan is always awesome . Sends chills through my soul. ❤

[@genenicolato7858]

not only a terrific performance by 2 very talented artists, but Morgan has gotten even more beautiful

[@elainemeyer5062]

AND more talented imho! Have been listening to her for years now, and see how much she’s matured in this new one. 💕 duet 🎤 🎹!

[@mmnj6963]

Love this. Great performances by both of them. Morgan's vocal performance is dazzling, as is her dress.

Morgan's beauty, fascinating vocal techniques and volume control in this performance. Julius, you are a healer with ten magic wands. Love you guys ❤

[@JLange642]

Looking FABULOUS Morgan! Sounding better than ever!

[@elainemeyer5062]

💕 🎤 + 🎹 duet of a lovely song by Stevie Wonder (who’s original I haven’t heard)! I’m 70ish, and have been following Morgan for some time, but can tell she’s matured a lot after hearing this performance! It’s a 👍 relaxing, and ‘easy listening’ song to just chill and lay back with anytime of day/night when you’re in the mood for this music.

[@alicegoughnour912]

Agreed, I'm mid-fifties and have been following Morgan when I discovered Scott Bradlee's PMJ. Morgan seems to age like a fine wine. Just better and better, this rendition brought me to tears!!!

[@darrellhart4800]

Nothing to see here, just a gorgeous gal with a gorgeous voice singing a gorgeous song!

Absolutely amazing!! I think I'm in love. 🥰🥰 I recently saw Morgn performing in Plainfield, Indiana, and despite the bothersome trouble with the venue's sound system, she kept the performance on track and blew us all away. Thank you, Morgan for sharing your gift with us.

OMG!!!! I absolutely love this song. I sang this in a school talent show. Been waiting for someone to do a cover or do their spin on it on their album or in the digital world (IG, tiktok, etc...) ❤❤❤❤❤

[@craigbart7086]

When Stevie was in his prime so many great songs,It hard to hear someone sing a Stevie song because he has so much soul no one can touch ,You never see someone cover a Michael Jackson’s songs ,Because him and Stevie so unique

[@valeriewickerson-august7474]

Beautiful voice. Wished she had stood up and sang though.

[@elainemeyer5062]

That shouldn’t have made any difference imho - it’s still a beautiful 🎤 + 🎹 performance!

[@valeriewickerson-august7474]

@@elainemeyer5062 Standing would have shown respect for herself and others (celebrityism perhaps). Inho? Really don't understand the meaning.

[@elainemeyer5062]

@@valeriewickerson-august7474 I don’t see any reason why it would, or should, make such a big difference. Some people/artists are just more comfortable to sit rather than stand when performing. It’s not a matter of ‘respect’ imho. If anything, it’s the audience that should show their respect by not speaking, yelling, taking selfie videos and blocking other’s views and enjoyment!

[@valeriewickerson-august7474]

​@elainemeyer5062 The audience and the performers' behavior are two different topics. We are talking about the performers' behavior. Sitting briefly or as part of the choreography is acceptable. But to me it's something that can be checked at this point. If she listens to other people who tell her everything that she does is okay, her artistry will go down. So it's her decision at this point. If she continues, why bother with her. The audience: why let them bring their cell phones in. Hire a stage director who nicely (at first) gives stage clues to the audience. Most will follow direction.

[@elainemeyer5062]

@@valeriewickerson-august7474 I still don’t agree with you on this subject. But let’s just politely show respect and stick with our OWN personal feelings on the subject of her ‘standing vs sitting’ while performing, as well as ur remark on the latter part of my comment about the audience behavior at live events.

[@glennbeau]

When will Morgan learn that just because you can, doesn't mean you should? I always scroll every new song of her's, searching for the part where she tries to pierce my eardrums and it's alway there. I long for her to do a song with restraint.

[@elainemeyer5062]

Unless I misunderstood your comment, I thought she showed ‘restraint’ here, and heard NO screaming or ear piercing vocals from her in it! Overall it was a beautiful 🎤 and 🎹 duet ‘cover’! Stevie Wonder on the other hand, would probably have done what you’re describing 🤔.

[@johnhylant9988]

Classy presentation. I'm not used to that from you. You often contort you mouth when singing which is very distracting. Didn't do it this time. Yes the pianist is Terrific. Lots of feeling in that rendition

[@aleathacoleman6413]

?

[@evalk1930]

@johnhylant9988 You would know, if you were a singer, that what you call contortion is how we naturally make different sounds. The little vocal inflections that Make the song what it needs to be. This is simply how it happens when singing a more complex song. It doesn't happen most of the time. If you don't like it, just look away and enjoy the music. If you care to contemplate the complexity of what she achieves vocally, you will then understand what is merely coming naturally to her. Personally. As an extremely talented singer. I understand what you mean, but think of it this way... When you hear her powerhouse of a voice in what is almost always Live, yes, it can be overpowering on rare occasions, if she is not properly being helped along with a professional sound man. Since it's live, there are no extra takes, mixing and editing, to polish her performance for the end result in a recording. She would need her own personal sound person, with a perfect ear and wealth of knowledge, who worked with her on Everything to tone down those few moments when she simply has too much powerful voice for what is being played. Together, they would work on what each needs to do in those parts of a performance. It's what band rehearsal is for. I hope this helps you to understand what is happening in those moments! As for your "classy" comment, it's simply untrue. I have yet to see a performance from her that isn't tasteful and classy!

[@johnhylant9988]

Cute, but I do sing, albeit without the inflections. For me they are not needed and not to be used. A little more flat line singing. I'm happy if I can get my breath expanding my bellie and not my shoulders And getting others to breath that way.

[@johnhylant9988]

Classy is opinion, pmj where I 1st heard her is not a classy presentation, fun, talented but not like the performance I'm referring to

[@williamdunbar8554]

That was nice but your best work was still done with Post Modern Jukebox. Your tone falls off on the end of too many lines when you're being soft/breathy. I'm still an ardent fan though.

[@aldofromsf]

The pianist needed to tone it down. He was supposed to support the song, not become the show.

[@davehertle]

At 03:21 Morgan gives the pianist a direct look, which I read as Your Turn Now to shine!

[@aldofromsf]

@@davehertle The piano is overbearing throughout the song. Try listening to Diana Krall and her subtle yet masterful piano. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXPWfXqHect-nKM

[@Blue-md7qe]

His “showing off” goes perfectly (musically) with the song. Like other songs during the middle intermission part where a bandmate usually gets to shine. Also it’s a precursor to the song going to another level - you should listen again 🎵 : )
