There truly are no words that do justice to the magic Haley and the band created. It's probably my most watched video of the past several years. And watching people transform from no expectations, to... their recognition of something incredible unfolding in front of their eyes and ears... it's equally entertaining! I'm a fan! Be sure to watch her other collaborations with Postmodern Jukebox!

Hailey is a seasoned professional singer, definitely had vocal training, and her dad is a guitarist. Every vocal coach are all in awe of her technicality of her voice control. Scott Bradlee the pianist, his musical arrangement is top notch.

There's a lot of great PMJ stuff. With Haley, check out 'Seven Nation Army,' or 'Don't Speak'. She covers "Mad World' with PMJ and the big clown guy, Puddles Pity Party. Another outstanding vocalist working with PMJ is Morgan James who covers Aerosmyth's 'Dream On' and 'Take Me to Church (among others). The two of them together with a third working with PMJ have a fun cover of "All about that bass."

FYI, this video was filmed on a day off during PMJ's European Tour in 2015, along with their "All About The Bass" video at the same time. Haley was tired, and even tho this was filmed in one take, she wasn't happy with her performance and wanted to do it again. But Scott overruled her, and he was right - 110M+ views later!

Their cover of Despacito is arranged by Toney DeSare.

[@HaleysTusk]

Having zero connection w/ what I heard on the radio was what eventually led me to Haley. I went a couple years listening to music from my past before I happened on Haley's season on American Idol. Since Haley joined PMJ in 2015, I have 36 videos of Haley singing Creep on my channel (10+ years of Haley live performances since Idol) and I STILL get goosebumps when I watch this video. BTW during their 2015 tour, Scott Bradlee played every show and the fun thing was, he played Creep differently each time as he's that musically gifted. The "Big Clown" you refer to is Puddles Pity Party, who has collaborated a lot w/ PMJ and even covered "Mad World" in a duet w/ Haley for PMJ. Haley recently did a new collaboration w/ PMJ after about 5 years since the last time which I think might match Creep for arrangement and performance, so my suggestion to you for the next PMJ/Haley collab is their No Doubt cover "Don't Speak' Haley has four albums out, 3 w/ original songs, one cover album. My favorite are her 2nd and most recent albums ("Better" & "Lo-Fi Soul" respectfully). My favorite Haley originals are "Don't Know How to Love You" and a quirky song called "Behave', here Haley performs a slightly different arrangement of the song at a special fan show she gave me permission to record: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYGzd416l8agr6M . Enjoyed the reaction, cheers...

[@bertjones3010]

@@HaleysTusk Tusk, I find myself wishing for the audio to be "Better" on these videos. I realize the limitations are due to the capture device, but I'm wondering if there is anyway to 'plump' it up after the fact? I think I'll download one of them, separate out the audio, play around in Audible and if I like what can be done with that app I'll pop it back in the video and post it on my channel as a private video and see what you think.

[@HaleysTusk]

@@bertjones3010 I did quite a bit of post on these, mostly the issue is the snare drums/cymbals. "Plumping" up audio on Haley also 'plumps' up the cymbals and snare which is less desirable. Often the audio I get from my external mic is too 'thin' so I combine them w/ my iPhone audio to 'thicken' the sound more, give it more breadth, more body. One of these days I can learn how to plug my external mic into the sound board, but the problem there is sound engineers do not like people messing w/ their boards. I've had the engineers plug my mics into their boards before and even then I've had mixed results. Last show I recorded was Morgan in Everett. The engineers were really cool, plugged me in and everything, but didn't adjust the levels on my mic so the audio was blasted and unusable. Even worse, it meant I didn't even have my external mic recording since it was plugged into the board so I had to make do w/ the audio I got from my other cameras.

[@bertjones3010]

@@HaleysTusk I empathize. I'm no audio engineer that's for sure. It's not like we're listening to a Grateful Dead bootleg, especially when the story is about the vocalist. And as far as other board engineers, yeah I get how they can give a shit. Still, I might take a walk on the wild side and just play with audio - I wasn't really all that optimistic when I suggested it to begin with but I'll give it a try. Regards,

[@agwyvern]

First... every PMJ video (excep for 1 or 2) is done in one take, no autotune, it's just them.) As for this one, someone will chime in with the link giving details on when this was done, but nutshell version... - This was their third video on an 'off' day during their European tour. - Haley didn't think she'd be up for this one (third in a day), but agreed to give it a shot. - This was the *only* take.

[@erick-gd7wo]

For me, Haley sings with a lot of nuances, timbres changes, freedom of expression. Each time she covers in PMJ, she reinvent the whole song, she truly owns each of her cover.

[@alanwyllie7814]

You crying bro. That means you get it 👍🏼 She is magical

[@searlecom1]

When Haley is pulling her notes into herself, or internalising them, it’s like she is talking to herself. You know, like the internal voice we all have. When she is singing to you, you just know it. She is, and I don’t use this word often, awesome!

[@Baronstone]

When Radiohead created this song, it was an instant classic. If Radiohead had never made this song and this was the first version of it ever, it would have been as classic and powerful as Radiohead's version. That's the mark of a great cover.

You know it's really something when someone who is not immediately famous has a video that's got over 100 million views.

Excellent point.

[@JeffTokayer]

All of PMJ videos are recorded in one pass, no editing and no auto tune . This particular video was wrapped up on the first take. Some people suggest that there was a second take, but not according to Scott Bradlee. You will also get people suggesting that Haley was sick or standing on her head and spitting nickels. Not true. The fact is that PMJ recorded 3 videos on their off day of a European tour. Haley sang in all 3. Lead in All About That Bass, backup in Style and possibly the best Creep cover to date. My suggestion for your next PMJ reaction is Don't Speak by No Doubt, with Haley Reinhart. Mind blowing.

[@theblackdog2399]

Actually, according to Haley and Scott, there were two takes of this song done on that particular day. However, PMJ released only her first take.

[@todradmaker4297]

The human voice is my favorite instrument and Haley has mastered it.

[@johnplaysgames3120]

Yeah, this is the song that sent me down both the PMJ and Haley Reinhart rabbit holes. Your comments about her compression were interesting as well as you noticing the lack of too many effects on her vocals. The other thing I've noticed having watched a number of Haley's songs, both with PMJ and on her own, is that she actually sings relatively quietly a lot of the time. I mean, she can obviously belt when she wants to but she works with a pretty hot mic most of the time so she can work all those dynamics without blowing out her voice, pushing incredibly hard, or getting super loud. You really notice it when she's singing next to someone like Morgan James who's got a really powerful voice (like on PMJ's "All About That Bass" cover). You hear Haley sing and think, "Wow, she's awesome..." and then Morgan steps up and you go, "Oh, daaamn... the power!" Both are amazing vocalists but their volume levels when singing are wildly different. From a technique standpoint, to me, it's super interesting. That's not a diss against Haley, btw, for you Haley-heads who are getting ready to jump me in the comments. Haley is my favorite of the PMJ guest vocalists... it's just an observation about her technique and how she achieves some of what she achieves. She does it the way she does it for a reason and the result speaks for itself. I'll echo other people here saying that you should also check out PMJ and Haley Reinhart doing "Seven Nation Army" as a New Orleans style dirge (and I'll add their cover of Tove Lo's "Habits" as well bc Haley gives a relatively dark song a light, fun vibe that's kind of awesome). On top of that, though, def check out Morgan James with PMJ as well. "Dream On" is the one that most will recommend (and it is really good) but I'd also recommend their cover of Maroon 5's "Maps." PMJ and Morgan do it as a 1970s soul song and, man, it's pretty great. That's the vibe Morgan fits into best, imo.

[@HaleysTusk]

Haley has said she likes to play w/ dynamics in a song, and you can definitely hear that in her original songs.

[@PrymalChaos]

Yeah! There is something to be said for singing (what I like to call) conversationally. It’s almost like speaking melodically, as opposed to “singing” every note. What I mean is sometimes singers seem to produce notes like a synth. Like no matter what the song calls for they hit every note with full vocal production. Which is great from a “singing point of view” but I find singers who can pull it right back and make the melody feel calm and effortless always seem to have better compositional dynamics. Like save the belting for the chorus hook! A verse, more often than not, can benefit from a more subtle approach. You can add drama to it by using interesting pentameter, rhythm, or textural stuff. You don’t need to be at 10 the whole time. Because if everything is at 10, then nothing is at 10.

[@iDEATH]

"...some big clown guy." is almost certainly Puddles. He's also incredible. There's a version of "Mad World" with him *and* Haley from a few years ago. It's great, you should check it out!

[@theblackdog2399]

Please, whatever this reactor does, please don't react to "Mad World" as there is nothing remotely remarkable whatsoever about either one of their vocals.

More interesting is the fact that Haley joined PMJ on tour just a few days earlier and only had a chance to get acquainted with Creep maybe twice on their live performances. If you check those performances, you'll realize the transformation of her interpretation of the song in such short time. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4ekhIeXftSHj9k

Love your reactions! have you ever heard Eivor "falling free" at the old theater or "Trodlabundin" ? Great stuff too.

[@PrymalChaos]

I’ve heard the name, but I may have to do a little more research.

[@stephaniemoon8913]

It's great to see an Australian doing such a fine job, not that I am patriotic usually. I live in Nimbin,. I am still watching you religiously and loved this one , a wonderful discovery for me. I would like to recommend someone for you to look at. Ali Farka Touré, a precursor to blues despite being a recent performer. His recordings were handed around to elite musicians until Rycooder decided to do an album with him some years ago and they won an Emmy immediately. The only way to tell Ali was to peddle on a bike to his West Mali village where he has spent most of his life. If you are not familiar with him I'm pretty sure you will be impressed. I loved this girl singing and as always your evaluation was instructive and just great. Thanks.

[@PrymalChaos]

Thanks Stephanie! Great to see you around I'll check out Touré.

[@nowbabyphotography4764]

T’ All About the Bass is a great one from PMJ. With Haley and two other singer. Well worth a reaction. I enjoyed this one very much.

[@jeffreybshuflin6795]

Very cool reaction. Smart and well explained musical theories without the pomp and show of Musical Theory chatter. That last verse creeps up on you right? It's almost like it wasn't going to happen and then hits you right in the goosebumps with that lazy seductive feminine breathy song bird of a verse. Some of the best music ever imo. I'd love to hear you breakdown Disturbed's cover of S&G's The Sound of Silence. Haley's Creep is my 2nd all time favorite cover. TSoS from Disturbed is some of the greatest music ever made imo.

[@PrymalChaos]

Thanks Jeffrey! What an amazing compliment. You know what? I do love Disturbed AND Simon and Garfunkel so could be a distinct possibility! 👍

[@galaxynbla066]

Haley’s name sounds familiar to me. If I am right, she was a contestant at American idol in the past. Worth googling her name.

[@jaybourne1185]

nice detail reaction... haley reinhart is the greatest, most unique vocalist of our time. postmodern jukebox (or pmj) takes current popular songs and completely re-imagines them vintage (1920s to 1960s) in the music itself and style of the performances that actually take you back in time. they have a variety of good vocals but the ones with haley are incredible. take your pick. they are located here: (kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2TPd2WneqZlmdk ). also, some consider her "house of the rising sun" cover one best performances ever on american idol where she placed 3rd here: (kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZC2oJp7m92mopo ). i think what is so phenomenal about haley is not just her amazing silk to sandpaper voice but also her character and soul that she puts into the performances. even when she uses very little of her unique vocal acrobatics, her pure raw soft breathy voice is amazing like in the intro of "creep". you see this even more in her solo platinum cover of "can't help falling in love" for the extra gum commercial which is truly stunning and frequently described as what love sounds like here: (kzbin.info/www/bejne/laaxoXiYqZyqldE )

Love Haylee, Love PMJ! Let's just say, it turned my Playlist on its head. (Fun fact, Haylee voices the mom in, "f" is for family) Check out Mad World with her and Puddles the clown!

The first reaction of a few dozen who not only acknowledged the musicians but commented on each of them. It’s understandable that Haley sole the song but yes, without the band and arrangement it couldn’t be what it is.

PMJ Puddles Pity Party and Haley Reinhart sing Mad World. Too fun.

I reacted to that one. It was brilliant!

[@ranger_a6953]

PMJ is really great. Look for a 7 foot tall clown all in white singing (Puddles Pity Party), also their version of Careless Whisper (which is magically transformed into a happy song about not being able to dance).

[@osovagabundo1]

If pmj comes near you, Go see them. Saw them in asheville w six vocalists. We were so enthralled that we drown them out a couple of times. But it was so incredibly good. Check Pmj history. He started a weekly KZbin one take upload in his apt. After a couple years they went viral and without an album went in tour and sold out before they started. Scott brought us Puddles Pity Party 10 years ago. Check out those vids but listen how well he couches the singer with his embellishments. Just high quality performances

[@PrymalChaos]

Yeah I need to go back and do some digging. This kind of thing is right up my alley.

[@rodb9275]

You really need to check out their stuff with the clown!!!

[@joanbaillie9925]

Black Hole Sun is another one of her renditions.

[@theblackdog2399]

It's good, but of all the music videos Haley did with PMJ, "Black Hole Sun" has the lowest KZbin view count, with the exception of "Don't Speak" which was performed and release just a few months ago and in which is still very new at this point.

[@luiskarnov6131]

Postmodern is great with most of the singers and cover. If you want to react to something very extreme metal but amazingly technical you could try Brain Drill - Beyond Bludgeoned (drum cover by Lord Marco or bass cover by someone i do not the name now but is great and too much to understand) also Necrophagist - Advanced Corpse Tumor. Success!!

[@AnjeannetteMarie-Swifie4Ever]

It’s funny how you mentioned being uninspired by the same auto-tuned / voice manipulated sound being shoved in our ears because that’s exactly the inspiration for PMJ, Scott Bradlee was so frustrated with the non-authentic music that gets all the shine when he knew so many truly TALENTED musicians and vocalists that get ignored and that was his inspiration for PMJ ❤️🙌🙌

Your reference to Puddles the clown is worth persueing. He has a phenomenal voice. check it out.

[@capstan50g]

Yeah, this is okay, innit. Good lord, what talent! I love singers like Haley and Angelina Jordan that deliver a real emotional read of a song. Blues, baby! You know, Prymal, I dig your story about being tired of music. I really lost the excitement until recently. Now, with vocalists like Haley Reinhart, Angelina, and Felix Irwan, as well as bands like Lorna Shore, not to mention all the good a cappella groups working today, it's fun to listen again. May I say that I've heard and seen your enthusiasm gradually return recently? Keep that open heart, 'cause it helps me too!

[@PrymalChaos]

Wow, it seems like your diverse tastes are tailor made for my channel. At first I was concerned about branching out too far from metal, I really didn't want to alienate my original subs, but now I'm excited that I expanded the net a little more there seems to be a whole demographic of people who like a bit of everything like you and I.

PMJ is so much more than Haley and Morgan. As much as I love both of them let's not forget, Scott has over 400 cover videos and 90% of them worth watching. There's Robyn Adelle Anderson, THE REASON that PMJ even got any traction, Arianna Savalas, Joey Cook, Shoshanna Bean, Maiya Sykes, Addie Hamilton, Alison Porter, Aubrey Logan, Gunhild Carling, Hannah Gill, Jax, Juliette Goglia, Sara Niemietz, Sarah Reich, Casey Abrams and about 50 other vocalists . . . . .
