Unbelievable … every time I listen to this lady sing this song I cry (literally) of joy! What a fantastic performer, what a singer… she’s really an angel singling…!

[@DualsPortvet]

I can not believe I haven't seen this before now. WOW!!!!

[@danneman6602]

That little smile at the end -- she knows she just absolutely crushed it.

[@johncurtis920]

There is nothing finer than the human voice when it is in tune. It needs no other support, no auto-tuning, no back-room sweetening and engineering. It just grabs your ears and makes you pay attention. Well done to this lady. Well done.

[@lesbsocal9107]

Not precisely "in tune". A good vocalist will alter the pitch slightly as a part of expression. And that's the hex if autotune. It dehumanizes the song. Fortunately indie artists like Morgan pass on autotune.

[@Calosis]

So well said, this is just a beautiful song, and she hits it spot on in everyway!

[@brentbeardsley655]

Ok. Just found this chick. How the hell is one woman this talented and absolutely gorgeous! Huge fan now.

[@ligiafernandes1026]

Silence should be required to hear this voice. Stunning!!!!

[@hudsonsoul3259]

She's adorable. Love her voice. Edit- I've watched most of her performances and interviews and this is the one l keep coming back to because of her effortless power and yet l don't even like the song but when she sings this its mesmerising. That crowd really should shut up!

[@KeithJD]

She's unbelievable.

[@myx0myc0t4]

i just love the way how everybody just shut up once she let her voice go.

[@davidkozlowski9550]

Nothing speaks louder than silence

[@Yeoman7]

I love all the chatter over her singing , by the end not a whisper in the house❤️

[@margicates553]

I understand this song so much better when she sings it.

[@snark907]

How does this person not win a Grammy every year?

[@RustySax1949]

@Steve Anderson - Because mainstream radio and record companies have no idea what to do with her - she's so versatile they can't put her into a box - Pop? Jazz? Soul? R&B? Classical? Musical Theater? Adult Contemporary? Big Band? Opera? Since they can't pigeon-hole her, you don't hear her on the radio. And you've got to get lots of radio air time to go along with sales to make it to the Grammys, not to mention plenty of behind-the-scenes politics, which she refuses to play.

[@peternyps8895]

Great voice, wide range, a beauty. She has it all. Morgan is outstanding. Love her.

[@Paul8417]

What I loved about this video was how the crowd was chatting at the beginning ,and then she took them to church and a quite hung over the room to hear this angel sing!.

[@marzok67]

yeah.... and she was almost crying at the end.... so intense

[@rosslytle5700]

How could somebody talk or make any kind of interrupting noise during while Morgan James is singing? The hell is wrong with the people in this audience? O_o

[@x.StanislawSadowski]

Well, they have got cought by her passion I think

[@karlk9316]

Sometimes we know not what we do.

[@edjarnac2108]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@Johnboy33545]

They're in a club setting where people can drink. Need I say more?

[@stefanmargraf7878]

Soon after Morgan made them shutup

[@60viking]

I'm sitting by myself in my living room applauding your performance, Amen!

[@baileycaristo1948]

Siiiiing that!!!!! Dam that was angelic. Top 5 covers ive ever seen in my life

[@markspence3295]

I know this is a few years old now, but every time i hear this, the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. An amazingly powerful and emotional voice. She throws such power into her performance. Absolutely love her.

[@tomdooley1752]

She puts every modern singer around to shame!

[@andygranick]

Amen.

[@babongo]

Initially, I was annoyed with the crowd noise, but then remembered that at the PMJ concert/show I attended, the band was always encouraging the crowd to sing, dance, or connect with the music in any way that felt real. Not easy to turn that vibe off quickly. MJ never ceases to amaze. Her rendition (w/PMJ) of Aerosmith's "Dream On" brings tears to my eyes.

[@ryanqvincent144]

So agree with you. Especially about 'Dream On'. ::)

[@christophertottle6022]

Rude people nearly spoiled a fantastic performance

[@Arrthas11]

It is just the quality of the audio. You wish to be there!!

[@bradsanders6954]

@@Arrthas11 No its people yelling through a performance.

[@sukrull381]

Those ppl were def Drunk but she still was a real pro and still stunned them wow she's the real deal!!!

[@baldydisco]

Simply stunning Ms James !!!!!!

[@douglasa.5039]

Morgan James what an Amazing Voice. Her voice makes you stop and listen and appreciate the art of singing. So pure and Flawless Thank You.❤

[@FishBoneGang]

Morgan gives me goose bumps!😳

[@dorothyfielding8209]

Me too. Almost never get them from a recording, only live music. This reaction to music is called a frisson.

[@bobfarris1]

She is so talented and indeed professional when singing this difficult song. Bravo!,,,

[@jimflammer9370]

She brings out all the emotion in her singing!

[@markroberts171]

This is simply stunning. I've watched you perform more than serviceable versions of so many songs but this transcends. Well done and thank you Morgan. This is extraordinary.

[@marcdangelo1652]

Undoubtedly one the greatest soul singer ever. I can't help but listening to every word and note with rapt attention...

[@zed9zed]

The people talking during her performance have missed something truly special.

[@SSGregory]

This is why I own every single thing MJ has ever recorded. She crushes every song. Such a power live, too.

[@markbewley9341]

Wow, everytime I am blessed to hear Morgan sing I get so emotional, does not matter what song she sings I can feel it in my soul way down there, never has been anyone to make feel the way she does, it's like you can feel her soul and connect to it ,and man does she have a SOUL

[@sharonbalmer7675]

Morgan james one of the best singers ever. X

[@AB-qp3ud]

That's what Juliard training will get you. If you know anyone with an interest in singing, Juliard is worth every penny.

[@kylenaumann2318]

Morgan James, thank you for sharing everything you are in your music. Truly incredible

[@derrickwilliams331]

I am Indeed Blessed to have this song bird Morgan James as my next door Neighbor,when she's practicing in her home i hear her!!

[@droppelminna5092]

Wow, I truly envy you!! I saw her only once in cologne, it was just breathtaking and I will remember it for all my life. Beautiful, beautiful voice!

[@x.StanislawSadowski]

Lucky man, you have free performances :).

[@elcarto22]

To quote Tormund Giantsbane, 'You are a lucky man!'

[@hudsonsoul3259]

You should learn an instrument and give her door a knock in a few years.

[@slingernolenation7518]

Greatest comment I ever came across on social media.

[@cmcdonald5710]

Blessed with a truly amazing voice

[@williamshipley4841]

Saw this show June 23, 2015 at Club Nokia in LA. Loved it all but Morgan James was stellar in "Take me to Church". I've watched numerous KZbin videos of her performing that and they are always great, but for about a two month period she was in an amazing groove. This is an example of that period.

[@JoseHenrique-mj6km]

this version is sooo much better than original. Owned

[@britnyank9002]

Hot damn, the way she hits those smokey high notes, then the deep diaphragm notes. GUGH!!!!! Hell yeah!

[@paavobergmann4920]

The power output all over her amazing range is just stunning. And then the way she phrases and emphazises, and her facial expressions along. it seems she´s really into it, its mesmerizing.

[@daxie1026]

This performance is what I call "commitment". Great !!!

[@pluma1111]

Wow! I just discovered Morgan James. What an amazing voice, with perfectly calibrated highs and lows. So powerful.

[@cleaningservicesaustralia8482]

You blow me through the wall Morgan. Right up there with the best ever.

[@jimbugg6055]

Morgan you are the BEST

[@frankhinstine4552]

Discovered her two days ago, OMG can't believe I missed her...absolutely fantastic..

[@freecloud1155]

This is just stunning. I can't think of words...

[@MrInternut]

Man, she sounds great in this...love it when she pounds it out there! Wonderful!!

[@ApocGuy]

God damn, i got goosebumps whenever i hear hear sing. she's one of a kind for sure. real gem amidst sub-average singers and bands.

[@bogsplash8612]

Awesome - in the true meaning of the word.

[@joebumbaugh2365]

[@MatthewHill]

I think the crowd could have been more respectful. This was a command performance.

[@jimnealon6064]

This Morgan James is on par with Whitney Houston and Adele. Just marvelous!

[@lipkosnejev1634]

Бесподобно! Как жаль, что наше ТВ практически обкрадывает нас, и никогда не покажет ничего подобного уровня... P.S. У меня нет телевизора, но к сожалению полно людей в возрасте, смотрящих российское ТВ, скрывающее наличие отличной музыки

Morgan James has a very beautiful voice, and I'm sure going to Juilliard only made it better.

[@markpolk232]

She had to fight to be accepted... They only had planned for eight students and she made nine.
