Morgan is all class, and this was all Morgan. Scott arranges but gives the artist a lot of room to express themselves. Morgan now has an extensive catalogue - PMJ tours, musicals, covers, original material. A genuine performer and person.

[@masonsteele261]

Scott on piano, is the founder, and does all of the arrangements. Morgan is classically trained, with roots in theater. Morgan never has, and never will be "tuned". She refuses any work requiring autotuned production. She's also a sweet, wonderful, humble human.

[@jedislap8726]

Just a quick background on Morgan. She is a Julliard trained opera singer who went on to musical theatre and was highly acclaimed for her work, however she prefers jazz and so that's how she got involved with PMJ.

[@homeslice1958]

Respectfully, based on what I've seen of Morgan's work and her interviews, I think that she loves soul and R&B more than anything else. She has the amazing ability to cover a song in a way that honors the original song while also making it uniquely her own. There are multiple songs that I've thought 'no one could EVER improve on the original', and Morgan James has made me rethink that perception , time after time.

[@jmartin4396]

Morgan James is a national treasure. So incredibly overlooked as an artist. One of the best things I've ever head is her full cover of the White Album (yes, THAT one).

[@billbaker9623]

Now its time to let her take you to church. What she does with Hozier's song is incredible.

[@itzel1735]

This may be THE best PMJ. And it may be THE best Morgan James.

[@itzel1735]

Now try Faouzia. Her original song. She sings her face off IMHO. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nauUq5xtpLqnlbs

[@tnae]

This was the first I’d heard of her. It was really impressive.

[@theblackdog2399]

"Creep" performed by Haley Reinhart is by far the best music video ever done by PMJ. As besides staying on the Billboard Digital Jazz Chart for 58 straight weeks, it is also the first and only PMJ music video to exceed 100 million views. In fact, PMJ music videos featuring Haley Reinhart own all the top spots as far as view counts are concerned on PMJ's very extensive and very popular music KZbin channel.

[@mrtonyo1965]

Morgan James is a treasure. A throwback to real performers. A+++performance

[@dporangecounty]

I’m with you, that was an amazing performance. Goose bumps!

[@Alice-ic5fy]

If you want to see Morgan James and Haley Reinhart together I recommend postmodern cover of" all about the bass" and the Beatles" dear Prudence". Awesome.

[@theblackdog2399]

The audio on "Dear Prudence" sucks.

[@mysc0tt1e]

She.Is.Great. And WHAT an arrangement! Genius.

[@jamestreanor4361]

I can not wait til you hear PMJ with Morgan, Haley and Ariana sing All About That Bass and Haley singing Creep and Seven Nation Army

[@Alice-ic5fy]

I love Morgan James, now it's time to to get your mind blown by Haley Reinhart and postmodern jukebox with her covers. She is absolutely the best vocalist. I recommend her cover of Creep, seven Nation army, and her newest would postmodern egg Gwen Stefani cover of Don't Speak

[@blairkimberlin3447]

also all about that bass, that one is so underrated IMO.

[@HouseInVegas]

Amen brother.

[@theblackdog2399]

"Oops, I Did It Again" is Haley's third most viewed music video on the popular PMJ KZbin Channel. Meanwhile, "Habits" featuring Haley Reinhart with PMJ has gone viral again and currently is doing more than a million views a month.

[@TerryYelmene]

...wonderfully done. ● PMJ and all the guest vocalists and specialists maintain a similar high caliber tone / style across all their various productions. It's the PMJ 'thing.'

[@kirkdarling4120]

This version of Dream On transformed me. I wasn't the same person when it finished that I was when it started.

[@karimaliege1051]

postmodern jukebox is amazing!!!! they did great cover!!!!!!!!

[@LordEagle]

I love Ms James. 🔥🔥🔥👍

[@indiecab9593]

Thought-provoking analysis-thank you!

[@dennisswainston411]

Try "Maps" and "Really Don't Care" (both with PMJ). Also anything else by MJ is Golden!!!

[@rogerbradley7890]

Don't forget, everything from Postmodern Jukebox is all done in one take, or so I have read

[@roywall8169]

Morgan is one of the most talented singers on the planet, and the cream of the crop with PMJ. You would also enjoy her take on Hallelujah, and Take me to Church.

[@Andre4548]

The reason it doesn't sound "rehearsed" is because it isn't. PMJ just schedules a room, brings in the performers and shoots it. Period . . . ONE TAKE (then they move onto the next tune). When you factor that in, this performance is even more amazing.

[@MannyScoot]

As soon as she walks in wearing her leopard high heels I was like hell yeah ........

[@59wacrowder]

Scott Bradlee is the one that writes the arrangements for PMJ and the singers!!!!

[@trenae77]

You need to listen to her cover of Human by Rag'n'Bone man ... piece of beauty!

[@Aurora-cv5to]

Loved your reaction to this. Morgan is one of the voices I need to hear regularly, and this is one of my favorites of her performances. So... I randomly watched you, watch her. So glad I did. (liked/subscribed) Haven't seen you respond to VoicePlay, and would LOVE to. Their recently dropped cover of the Pirates of the Caribbean's Hoist the Colors is really mind-blowing. It's a home run arrangement, vocal performance and video. Will be checking out your other reactions to see what I've missed...

[@bloodybutunbowed291]

My algorithm has shown me you've reacted to Morgan James and recognized all the work she's put in! I see you know she was Julliard trained, I've known her since she was on Broadway and you won't find anyone that works harder than her, she still has vocal classes once a week. You said you wanted to listen (react) to more of her...I've compiled sort of a "greatest hits" list for you...but to be honest there really is just SO MUCH MORE!!! Take Me To Church - Piano / Vocal Hozier Cover ft. Morgan James (Postmodern Jukebox) kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3STqXp4bJiIq8U Maps - Vintage 1970s Soul Maroon 5 Cover ft.

[@daoud175]

Morgan James is an incredible singer. Watch her sing Halleluiah

[@cristiancastro326]

Excelente reaccion, grandiosa Morgan James , saludos desde Costa Rica, pura vida !!!

[@dennisswainston411]

And "All About the Bass" with PMJ!

[@Galantus1964]

Now you HAVE to listen to her cover of Hoziers Take me to church , morgan and haley singing beatles Dear prudence, PMJ/ Morgan cover of Maroon 5's Maps....

[@Smo1k]

What I like about Morgan James' singing one day is what I dislike about it the other: She has POWR in spades. And one day, that lifts me up, while another it knocks me down ~.ô

[@jcofortco]

❤😊❤

[@gwen-bleiz8141]

Finaly!!! I made you the request to review this cover. and looking at your reaction i may say: Told you so ;-)

[@tnae]

You did and thank you for that!

[@gwen-bleiz8141]

@@tnae Don't mention it, my pleasure.

[@whyme7996]

Her beautiful diction! You can understand every word....Steve Perry's???no.

[@whyme7996]

agreed! Singing vs screeching

[@staceysmith6518]

Hi Coach really enjoyed your reaction and your appreciation for music and talent. But you cannot leave this earth without reacting to Diana Akudinova., covering I can’t help falling in love. She is the flipside of Dimash . She is 18 years old she is a dramatic contralto with her ability to sing with polyphonic overtones. You will not think that it is real or they put some effect on her voice but I guarantee you it is the real thing she has many other songs of which she can do the same thing. You will have to blow the image to avoid copyright issues but I assure you it is well worth it. She has a one and 1 billion Voice I cannot stress enough that you react to her.

[@georgelynch6139]

Scott Bradlee=genius

[@HouseInVegas]

It seems to me that Most of the PMJ covers are done with Everybody in character for the specific arrangement.

[@vkaPAUL]

you should listen her do the Beatles "White Album" in one sitting!!

[@mjbartholomew5317]

More Morgan James plesase.

[@Wiley_Coyote]

It took me a while to believe an Opera singer was so well able to shift her voice this way. She's stripped all the theatrically out. I mean it's dramatic, but in a more grounded way.

[@richardlong419]

What a great analysis, and explanation of a build up.

[@tnae]

Thank you 😊

[@mjbartholomew5317]

Don't calm down!

[@jaybourne1185]

this cover of 'dream on" by postmodern jukebox featuring morgan james is extraordinary, but their cover of "creep" featuring haley reinhart is an absolute masterpiece and maybe the best cover ever done, bar none. it is located here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2TPd2WneqZlmdk

[@Zeno_Evil]

Check out PMJ's cover of Creep w/Haley Reinhart

[@kevincinnamontoast3669]

Your advice to Morgan so that she may improve?

[@patrickarts9091]

Postmodern jukebox - Creep with Hailey Reinhart. Also very impressive.

[@blueisback3683]

Great reaction, I rarely subscribe after one video but I did this time. Now what are the chances we can get some reactions to Katrina Velarde and what about Dimash, you have to see Dimash

[@tnae]

I have one Dimash reaction Posted and no I keep intending to do more. I noticed he has a fairly new song out and will probably try to do that one As for Katrina…idk, I’ve never heard of her! But that makes it exciting to think about reacting to her. Any particular song or performance from her?

[@blueisback3683]

@@tnae I will have to check out that Dimash reaction. His latest stuff is getting blocked so either go back to earlier stuff, lot of great stuff from The Singer 2017 or Sinful Pasion or Hello. For Katrina it depends on what you like. Go the Distance on the wish bus is where most start, unless it's One Sweet Day with Budakhel, which is a cover of the Mariah Carey and Boys to Men hit. I say this version is 3 grown men and the Trinity Slayer.

[@blueisback3683]

Okay, I see you did Sinful Passion already and have heard SOS. How about some straight up classical, Olympico/Ogni Petra is pretty crazy

[@bertjones3010]

Haley Reinhart. No classical training yet her mastery of her instrument is on par with Floor Jansen. Morgan also has a wicked sense of humor. All three a joy to behold and listen to.

[@theblackdog2399]

I almost agree with you but Haley Reinhart's vocal control exceeds that of Floor Jansen.

[@bertjones3010]

@@theblackdog2399 If you insist, but all things considered I obviously disagree. If it makes it any better, Haley has been my favorite artist for the past decade. Both have skills. Floor has longevity and actual vocal training and she puts on a masterclass every time she sings. Simply and singularly impressive. If I had to go see one or the other I'd pick Haley, except if it were 2013 Wacken then it would be Floor but that's because of hind sight. Oh, I was introduced to Floor only this year on Beste Zangers. Apparently you're not that familiar with her. We're not talking a huge difference between them.

[@theblackdog2399]

​@@bertjones3010 I remember a few years back when you used to stalk Haley's American Idol videos to always denigrate her. Go bore someone else to death.

[@bertjones3010]

@@theblackdog2399 well that never happened.

[@Beachgirl1]

@@theblackdog2399 WHAT?? Haley Rhineheart isn’t even fit to be mentioned in the same sentence as Floor Jansen. The Haley cultists are definitely the most toxic fan base in music, even more toxic and arrogant than Rush fanatics.

[@gable354]

🔥🔥🚒👩‍🚒🔥🧯

[@larrycarlisle3163]

That first phase that included the long sustain is worth noting. Morgan took a 1-beat breath before the word MAYBE. MAYBE you should go back and pay more attention. BTW, that was a jazz riff plucked on the cello and it was also remarkable. Not worthy of criticism "all those imperfections", huh? . And she "finally" did what? Maybe you could explain more clearly what she "finally" did. Good lord...

[@charliehiggins4430]

Take this group. add Puddles the Clown and play Mad World and be amazed.

[@theblackdog2399]

Vocally, there is nothing worthy of reacting to because the vocals by both performers are just run of the mill and average. Now the performances of the two of them and especially of Haley were cute. Nonetheless, since this reactor is a vocal coach, having him react to a music video with no vocal dynamics like Mad World would just piss him off.

[@theblackdog2399]

If you think Morgan James with PMJ is good. Wait until you react to Haley Reinhart with PMJ. As Haley is easily the best vocalist by far to have ever performed with PMJ. In fact, Haley was the first vocalist to perform with PMJ to have a music video exceed over 100 million views. As no other vocalist performing with PMJ has ever came close to matching Haley in view counts. Hence, let me suggest you react to Haley Reinhart's cover of "Creep" with PMJ. As that cover of "Creep" stayed on the Billboard Digital Jazz Chart for 58 straight weeks before becoming the first PMJ cover to surpass 100 million views. To locate it, just type, Haley Reinhart "Creep" in the search box and hit search.

[@stevebox3103]

The more you dig into PMJ the more you’ll love just about everything that they do! Check out Creep featuring Haley Reinhart, best version of the song, bar none!

[@beriliumsphere107]

Shush it and just listen

[@tnae]

Lol, ok 😂
