What a debut! We're so excited to have Emma join us on tour in Europe in... *checks watch* ...ONE WEEK! Tix at www.pmjtour.com

[@tinyj4520]

You guys should consider shooting on real film and then converting it to digital. It looks way too much like you were filmed individually in front of a green screen and then spliced together.

[@EmmaSmithMusic]

Bring on the fall tour!!!!!

[@machtschnell7452]

​@@tinyj4520I am guessing you do not see too much video. This is about as far from geen screen as one can get.

[@pearsegaffney1204]

Just booked, see ye all next Friday at the Hague! Can believe my luck!

[@Urbaaniapina]

Hey guys!! I love your channel, but I would like to see more classics from the 70-80-90. Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, Queen, Bon Jovi, Cyndi Lauper, Eminem... And so on. Songs that we all know, you know. I would be so happy!! Thank you so much for the content you make!! Love ya'll!

[@senorbe]

Wow - that was amazing vocal concentration! That's so many words to spit in one song - Emma Smith starts off with a triumph

[@fairlyvague82]

She is the very model of a modern Major-General

[@EmmaSmithMusic]

Thanks!!! ❤

[@scapegoatiscariot2767]

The lady and the band come out of the box like that? They've got something. Tight as a rubber band.

[@FS2K4Pilot]

@@fairlyvague82Oh dear…

[@FS2K4Pilot]

You should hear PMJ’s cover of “Smooth Criminal”.

[@snapgab]

Vocals were super impressive! Crazy how much emotion and personality she was able to add to it even while the lyrics were so dense and she needed to speak so fast! Also, she's absolutely killing that outfit!

[@EmmaSmithMusic]

Thank youuuu!

[@robertkirchner7981]

Honestly I think it's better played at x.75.

[@stareye8]

That song was NOT easy. She sang it spectacularly! Loved it!

[@kevinblount7142]

Just be glad she didn’t try “Garden of Eden” by Guns & Roses…

[@silvertarot25]

Ms Emma Smith slayed the hell out of this song! Her voice, the dress, her look...it was so in the vibe of a jazz club. Well done to everyone in PMJ for this cover.

[@EmmaSmithMusic]

❤

[@pearsegaffney1204]

Emma, you really did kill it. It's like you watched all the greatest pmj videos, learned the moves, the style, the look, the feel and then took it to a whole new level. From one diehard pmj fan, chapeau!

[@lkgrave4959]

It's always great when someone does a song cover and you can finally understand the lyrics.

[@EmmaSmithMusic]

High praise! ❤

[@tessie7e777]

Ikr!

[@ellieban]

And it’ll still be three days before we say “wasabi”

[@squirrelbutler2119]

A great cover, for sure But....if you couldn't understand the lyrics in the original, you just weren't listening.....

[@RevelationsPrimo]

​@@squirrelbutler2119 Or more likely -- like most of us -- realized the original dude is kinda a $h¡t singer :D

[@tommyrq180]

She sings super fast AND stays in character. WHAT? Are you kidding me? Bombshell. 😊

[@TheSymchan]

oh my the CONTROL she has over her voice, absolutely incredible

[@rome8180]

The accuracy and agility of the verse vocals was insane. That was not an easy melody in the verse. It's all over the place and extremely chromatic. It's also very fast. And yet I could always tell exactly what note she was singing.

[@ivanheffner2587]

The thing I love about PMJ covers is they capture the essence of the alternative style first and foremost in the arrangement. It’s not just about the vocal styling and choosing different instruments.

[@miked3340]

This is why I wish there were still supper clubs, or at least this kind of entertainment at the posh restaurants. Plus she's gorgeous.

[@postmodernjukebox]

We’re bringing this style back on tour! List of cities at www.pmjtour.com

[@Menuki]

There’s 2 and a few more in construction in Vegas

[@Ryecrash617]

Absolutely outstanding! Being able to sing so clearly and so quickly is incredibly difficult but Emma makes it look easy.

[@EmmaSmithMusic]

Thank you! High praise!

[@torontomame]

This is amazing!! The arrangement, the vocals, the band, the look, that sax solo! Had me bouncing and bopping. (And, as a Canadian, I LOVED having a Barenaked Ladies song done by Postmodern Jukebox. Two of my favourite groups. ❤❤❤)

[@suzannebrokaw7885]

your fellow Canuck and Ontarian musician agrees with you completely!!! Wish PMJ would grace The Center in the Square in Kitchener sometime!!!

[@kllewy]

PMJ is coming to Massey Hall in Toronto in December 2023 (I know because my wonderful other half bought tickets as a gift!).

[@shabyheltay]

​@@kllewyhow was the show?

[@kllewy]

@@shabyheltay Excellent! A lot of great performances and the musicianship was fantastic.

[@BouncingTribbles]

It's funny how often a genre switch makes me love a song again

[@raysun2be]

Wow! That was SO excellent! Band was solid, but Emma not only was fantastic getting all the words out, but stylistically great as well. The jazz nuances she added were spot on. So very good!

[@EmmaSmithMusic]

Thank you so much ❤

[@sylvesterpinewood]

PMJ Never disappoints

[@charlieholiday9355]

WOWZA!!! What a GAL!!! Pipes for weeks!!!

[@EmmaSmithMusic]

❤

[@MrGreatplum]

Barenaked ladies are one of my favourite ever bands - this is brilliant!

[@Fivemonthslater1]

Their next album is out very soon!!

[@cidsx]

This is one of the most impressive vocal performances I've ever seen

[@El_Rey_247]

I'm a little shocked by how well this works without really changing the vibe of the original song

[@Lavarpsu10]

2:15 the buildup from this part into the rhythm chopping wood and the sax rocking out is INCREDIBLE.

[@davecampbell3455]

I'm simply amazed! Emma is new to me but I won't soon forget her vocals or her concentration!

[@EmmaSmithMusic]

Thank you so much ❤

[@calolson9572]

Absolutely stunning! What a great rendition, and an incredible performance!

[@EmmaSmithMusic]

Thank you! ❤

[@josephsagers7888]

Someone give that woman a medal!

[@claremiller9979]

I wish i could like this a thousand times! One of my favorite songs, and what an INCREDIBLE performance! 🎉

[@FaithHopeLove999]

My eardrums are doing summersaults! ❤❤Amazing job, Emma and the musicians are always fire! 😊😊 🎶 🎵

[@EmmaSmithMusic]

Bless you! Thanks so much

[@FaithHopeLove999]

​@EmmaSmithMusic : You're welcome! You tore this song, UP! 🎵 ❤

[@OndrooGaming]

I flipping love this song 😀

[@laraj777]

What a channel, masterpiece after masterpiece!💫 These people are made for the big stage. Phenomenal musicality, lightness and sense of humor. Professionals!🔥

[@postmodernjukebox]

we love what we do (and we love our audience, too!)

[@CKORPION1962]

​@@postmodernjukebox❤это взаимно.... ❤🎉

[@EmmaSmithMusic]

Thank youuuu!!!!

[@vhs3760]

Brilliant! So fast paced! The outfit was spectacular!

[@whiteshoos]

I came here to say the exact same thing!

[@EmmaSmithMusic]

Thanks guys!

[@jessicacarron8117]

This is one of my fave BNL songs and this is spectacular. Want tremendous vocals

[@greenawayr08]

This might be be one of the coolest things you’ll see on the internet this year.

[@RUGrimm-fv5if]

It's been one week since my foot last tapped like this, and I'm sure it'll be a week more it continues to tap~ 💃

[@SyntheticFuture]

Live equally impressive. Absolutely amazed at her speed and articulation while making it look effortlessly.

[@manleeman5212]

Learning these lyrics has always been a goal/game between friends and my siblings. This was amazing. Definitely adding to spotify asap

[@adrianoconnor3020]

Her rhythm is unreal, fantastic arrangement 👏👏👏🇮🇪

[@user-mr9mr8zb9p]

Awesome! So glad so witness this kind of music - by young folk - in this era of 2023! LOVE it! And the Singer is GREAT!

[@markgoostree6334]

I didn't know a human could sing that fast and not mess up!! Music was great as well! Loved the sax.

[@captainleadbottom]

Emma's voice is a finely tuned instrument played by a master, and the arrangement here is impeccable. In other words, These Cats Are Hot!

[@kataccount7439]

I liked this song...now I LOVE this song, thanks Emma.

[@TheDavidN]

Thank you for making this song listenable!

[@psharpe5904]

Killing that song AND that dress. Well done.

[@billdoor5407]

wow my brain cant manage to hear that many words tis amazing that you can remember them never mind singing them stunning voice for a stunning lady thanks much stay safe

[@shadowsandfire]

Wow! Just, WOW! Way better than the original! Emma Smith in the house ladies and gentlemen! Hat's off to you, what a smashing performance! Encore!!!!

[@lazypaladin]

*_Yes! Barenaked-_* _Ahem... I love this song too much._

[@novamarpo3]

🤨

[@johnmay6090]

So much to take in in one song! Great voice, good song, nice sax, excellent backing and very easy on the eye.

[@ButchWilson]

So perfectly embraced the genre, elevated the song and holy cow just KILLED the lyrics. Great job. Thank you for sharing it.

[@DuncanJimmy]

Daaaayum, Smith! 10 out of 10 performance.

[@johnhoyle6390]

My great Uncle was a bass player in the Big Band era. He had the double Bass. I appreciate this bass player very much and it reminds me of Uncle Solve (Salvatore)

[@EmmaSmithMusic]

Adam is the man!

[@asjaasja7642]

What for a great voice❤

[@keithbraham6438]

Visually and audibly Wow Wow Wow!!

[@Bellonging]

I have no idea how you made this song sound classy but I'm terrified and impressed

[@r.duroucher225]

Wow. She can sing.

[@UmbrellaTechInc]

Великолепное использование🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊 Так и хочется пуститься танцевать❤❤❤

[@AngelDame17]

[@EmmaSmithMusic]

This was made for you!

[@salliemae9284]

[@leatheryfoot6354]

The song completely evolves when Emma sings it. It takes on a whole different face.

[@EmmaSmithMusic]

❤

[@riccisam]

Bravissima e Bellissima what a voice...such a beautiful voice in swing and jazz is pure gold!

[@brianthompson5672]

Honestly I could watch this with sound off and still be entertained by watching her expressions. She's got so much character and stage presence

[@jeffreynunya4716]

Oh wow, getting all those words correct is impressive enough, but doing it with such musicality along with the chorus in one take? Phenomenal! And she makes it look effortless!

[@calypsomoonband]

This was the perfect song choice for Emma - she is an absolute badass! ❤

[@EmmaSmithMusic]

Thank you! ❤

[@nemo227]

She's a singer, a vocalist, an entertainer. And I became a fan the first time I heard her/saw her a few days ago. I'd buy a ticket. Better than good.
