Dream On - Postmodern Jukebox ft. Morgan James (Aerosmith Cover)

[@sleektruck22]

THIS. Is the gold standard of a cover. Period.

[@iwanbottos5128]

No , that is Loose yourself by Kasey Chambers. But you probably don't know that song yet .You'll see.Promise .

[@Notsoshady4891]

Kasey Chambers changes a lot of the emotional context for Rage to fear and does a wonderful job. Gold standard probably doesn't change the emotions of the song in general. Thanks for sharing that I didn't know about it until I read your post.

On the side notes of You Tube there is a video of Aerosmith singing Dream On with the Southern CA Children's Choir, and here is Morgan packing more punch with her one voice and small ensemble that over takes anything Steven Tyler and his crew could put out.

She played Teena Marie in "Motown: The Musical" on Broadway. she has a solo career including several albums and a KZbin channel. And of course, she has collaborated with PMJ on several occasions. You might want to check out "Maps" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpiykJ-uic2WZ68) and "All About That Bass" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/l33Ri2SEhtJlq80) with PMJ, and I really like her cover of Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6nFaJl8bdOfmrc).

She hit a bit of a head-voice moment to nod to the original. That kind of going-high isn't the same task for a female voice as it is for a male one.

[@BadassRandomness]

Efm, what so you mean with that? Is it harder or easier for women to hit those notes?

[@ItsAsparageese]

BadassRandomness It's hard to speak generally about it, because anyone has to work hard at cultivating that high register. But in my experience as a female vocalist and in learning from and teaching male vocalists, I find that men typically have a little bit of a clearer and healthier access to that which we call "falsetto" than us women have with going into a high whistle voice and making it have sufficient power and control. When we do with our voices the same mechanical thing that men do for falsetto, it just comes out as an airy weird cheer-whoop thing that is extremely hard to train for vocal control, and most women simply develop a different register to get high and "belt" those super high scream-like notes instead. It's not exactly harder or easier for anyone, basically, just different for each and each gender's version of hitting those high wails comes out differently and has different implications for fatiguing their voice.

Dude, this song is like half a century old, if that is "modern" by your standards, what are you, 80? Also, if you're listening with something half descent and give it a chance, you'll be able to distinguish pretty much every instrument and shift between them mentally, provided that the mix isn't trash. This way nothing can stop you from enjoying music form any angle you'd want to

Morgan James surpassed Aerosmith. Her range, control, feeling and artistic interpretation are utterly stunning! Bravo!!!

[@johnkluge3421]

It is her elocution. You can understand every word. I have been listening to this song for over 40 years and this is the first time I could make out all of the words. The lyrics are really good when you can understand them. Tyler sounds like he is saying "Sing women" rather than "sing with me". He just mangles half of the lyrics. James' elocution is so good that I have to think she had some kind of opera training. It makes a huge difference. She hits every note and every syllable perfectly and the meaning of the words add to the song. She sings the hell out of this song. She is just fantastic.

@@johnkluge3421 I agree with your sentiment, but the word you're looking for is "Diction", the efficiency and clarity by which words are delivered.

[@eagle191]

@@andreaschmall5560 Tyler didn't scream the high parts, he used falsetto. The difference is that Morgan stays in her chest voice for the majority of the song and pushes up into her head voice for the high note, but never shifts into falsetto. Results = much stronger delivery...oh, and goosebumps.
