REACTION - Postmodern Jukebox with Morgan James - Maps

[@jamesleadbetter-brown8461]

"Dear Prudence" Morgan and Hayley, barefoot on a sofa...pure joy

[@MikeZak101]

beg to differ

[@Chiungalla79]

Quentin Tarantino, is that you? 😂

[@ReScqAkaPantee]

Morgan did the complete white album - fantastic.

[@macedindu829]

The thing about Morgan James is, how in the hell is she not massively famous? It's hard to figure. This video is the one where I first saw her perform, and I was totally blown away. The Barbie Girl one she did is a lot of fun, btw.

[@machtschnell7452]

The whole 100+ Quarantine performances with husband Doug are beyond incredible.

[@oldedominion8782]

Morgan James : SLEDGEHAMMER! Seriously great!

[@jamesmorrison7847]

So freaking good. Morgan James rocks.

[@wesalker3479]

As much as I and everybody else, loves Morgan and Haley, there's a ton of other performers that PMJ uses. Might I recommend "Heart of Glass" by Addie Hamilton or "Crazy" with Hanna Gill and Casey Abrams. You could do two PMJ videos on mondays and call it Postmodern Monday! They have enough videos to keep you busy for EIGHT YEARS and you'd never do a repeat!

[@bertjones3010]

Oh! I do like Crazy. It was crazy good. And I do agree with Wes, you should pull PMJ off the request list entirely. I do like his suggestion. As of today they have 383 videos and 4.8M subs, and we all know what a delightful, and most importantly, honest reactor you and Charlotte are, I'm pretty sure you'd attract a lot of their fans here.

[@odball75]

Oh and don't forget the sideprojects Scott has done, those are also interesting.

[@malnorice]

Also Zombie (cranberries cover).

[@HowardCShawIII]

I do not understand the number of suggestions she gets for PMJ and no mentions of Robyn Adele Anderson. If any PMJ lead is "her people" it would be RAA.

[@jindrichbrezina3046]

Also videos with Puddles Pity Party should be taken to team "must see"

[@mstewart109]

Wow!! Double wow! What a voice. And the lyrics of that song...more please

[@jimboheadspace1788]

Mornings with Muanalee as she jumps into the bottomless pool that is PMJ. I feel refreshed.

[@jayholland2632]

Thanks for reacting to this. I love the groove they put onto this one and Morgan's voice has such a soulful resonance. She is a Juilliard trained opera singer and Broadway performer. Her soul journey has been shepherded by her mentor, Berry Gordy Jr, who she met when she auditioned and got the part of Teena Marie in the Broadway cast of 'Motown: the Musical'.

[@barrettgranger9139]

Morgan James feat Marc Broussard “Do Right Woman , Do Right Man” I think you would love too

[@markmclendon8621]

Morgan is my spirit animal.....

[@markfrancis1316]

Love her.

[@alanspag9339]

How about Morgan doing Sledgehammer and Haley singing Habits, btw my kids know you not as Maunalee but as the goosebump lady.

[@mitchfleming274]

I love Haley's Habits..

[@davidklein9325]

You made me laugh! At the end I could see and hear you rush your last few comments and I bet as soon as you cut the camera, you were off and running to your baby! So cute! Such is the beautiful life of motherhood! God Bless you, Maunalee!

[@dfhowes]

Your initial reaction (1:47) is pretty much me every time I listen to this cover. And there's that frisson again (2:30), she has that effect on me, too. I play this song 5, 6 and 7 times in a row (no exaggeration) just for 4:26 alone. I love Morgan and I love watching reactions of Morgan, and you're especially fun to watch.

[@roywall8169]

I see Morgan, I hit the like button. Too bad it wasn’t Take me to Church, but hey, you can’t go wrong with anything she does.

[@Kevin15301]

It is a maroon 5 song. It was ok, give a listen, but it is nothing like how PMJ re-imagined it. Morgan James is beyond words good, maybe the best voice out there today. Also, she brings an extra something to every performance. Have you ever seen anyone that can dance as well, just standing behind a mike? Watch Sledgehammer!

[@jonathansborders]

Awesome video. I’ve been binging you’re videos. Subbed

[@musicwithmaunalee]

Aw thanks Jonathan!!! 😊

[@micklevanon7580]

I love this. A bit of TSOP is always a good thing. Sweet Philly soul. And it’s Morgan James! Wonderful version.

[@gary621000]

You allow the song to play through on your reactions. I like that. Nice goosebumps by the way. 😃

[@JasonJrake]

It’s like a whole different song. Has that spy-movie jazziness to it!!!

[@themusicwriter6449]

Not even for reactions necessarily, but Morgan and her husband, Doug Wamble, just put out over about 100 tunes. The KZbin collection is called Quarantunes. Brilliant vocal/guitar performances! Just the two of them sitting around at home doing their thing. The great thing is it's raw and unedited. They did everything from Beatles, Sam Cook, Temptations to Gershwin and Duke Ellington, Whitesnake, R. E. M., Elton John, and countless others. Please let me know if you love it.

[@j1974f]

Great reaction! That was so good!

[@sendit572]

Really like your reactions, great recognition of talent, emotion, stage presence, etc. One of few reactors to whom I subscribe. Dig, know you have family...vocal and young. Thats not a problem (usually) when the music is playing but is a significant distraction from your reactions, and I really want to hear your reactions. You are wearing headsets and don't hear it, but we do. It takes away from what you are giving to your listeners. Love kids, but there is a time and place for them and their cuteness. Use a door. You do great reactions, thank you.

[@manwithmountain]

My favorite video of Morgan was a live performance, probably shot with a phone. She had a red dress and sang Aretha's - Aint No Way. Heaven. She also has a lot of good stuff with PMJ. You might want to check out PMJ with Kiah Victoria too.

[@geoorellana7755]

PMJ became an instant fav of mine Morgan and Haley have strong incredibles voices that Ive been fortunate to have heard. Check out Lake Street Dive, Start with “Rich Girl”

[@ricktassone6529]

She is so sexy in her delivery not to mention that soulful vocal, love it. 🎧🎶

[@dfhowes]

That look Morgan gives 5 seconds into the video (1:39 in this video) is like . . . WOW!

[@tenthdimension9836]

4:12 She KILLS IT!!!!!!!

[@Kasino80]

Morgan James Call My Name. One of the last artists who got the green light from Prince to cover one his songs.

[@domie7992]

New subscriber. Love your channel. I see you love PMJ. They are fantastic. Dani Armstrong singing Chandelier gives me goosebumps. But I love opera. Give it try 😊

[@sheilascoyne861]

Awesomeness again, thank you Maunalee, much love❤

[@markfrancis1316]

So freaking talented.

[@russrollins9978]

It's so awesome that you know about Maps by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs!

[@charlesbowman129]

Man that song is in my groove, awesome. On this song she reminds me of Randy Crawford.

[@januzzell8631]

PMJ are amazing (as is Morgan) but they have SO MANY talented people to call on - the two backup singers in this song - are gorgeous on their own ones :D Have fun in PMJ-Land ;)

[@MarcosElMalo2]

There’s a moment when Mykal Kilgore just kicks it up that kills me. Incredible!

[@Vo-iDstudio]

PMJ with Sarah Niemitze singing talking heads “naive melody” is pretty great and joyful.

[@deeannwatson4453]

Morgan James singing Oh Me Oh My.... Awesome give it a listen.

[@donmcneal233]

Yup Maunalee.. Morgan's the cat's meow! Love that girl...! I see how you really appreciate great pipes! If that's the case...? You'll ga ga over, "Mary Fahl", (Formerly of *October Project, way back..) (with *OP "Bury me Lovely / Return to Me", then, Gravity, Dawning of the Day & (Whoa!), "Ben Aindi Habibi" / House Concert. 12/12/09 Love yo watch you on that requested... You're cool. Keep up the good work..

[@philipcochran1972]

Yes, there was a part where Morgan's voice sounded like it was straining on some of the high notes. However, she is a great singer, without a doubt. Have you seen the fun PMJ version of Barbie Girl with Morgan James? well worth a look.

[@bloodybutunbowed291]

If you're talking about 4:48 ...she might have been just low on breath support for a little bit. As you saw in "Barbie Girl", she doesn't have much of a problem with the high registers of her head voice. Check her out at the end of this live clip, if you really want to see her let go of the reins and hit those high notes. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jp2lfWhsds2WkMk

[@wesalker3479]

I feel guilty every time I watch "Barbie Girl". Don't know why, I just do.

[@CFWhitman]

This was the first PMJ performance by Morgan James. It's good. I think I like her "Dream On" the best though.

[@nuntichaapsiram2560]

Lovely, thank you!

[@blueisback3683]

Probably my favorite Morgan James, but I do love Rather Be that she did with her back-up singers and an acoustic guitar.

[@Andy224S]

Some Morgan James/PMJ you need to checkout, PMJ - Really Don't Care, Take Me to Church, Morgan James - Dear Prudence, Human, Who Wants to Live Forever (w/Scott Bradlee).

[@phyllisb4634]

Their cover of All About The Bass is really fun.

[@masnip9838]

For a really fun one, check out Morgan James and PMJ doing "Really Don't Care"

[@heathernelson5624]

One of my faves plus tambourine guy really rocks that one too

[@ATrainHC]

She has a presence about her. So do you. :-)

[@zwerker]

Morgan is THE ONE

[@VetNavy]

Everything Morgan does is great. Even Barbie!”

[@thomaslombardo2528]

I just want to mention that you might get a kick out of checking out Morgan James performing with the 'Skivvies' (yes, they perform in their underwear)! There are at least two videos on KZbin with Morgan guesting with them, and of course, their guest singers also have to perform in their skivvies! I don't have the links, but a simple KZbin search for Morgan James and the Skivvies should suffice. Have fun!

[@jean-francoislavergne6354]

I've just went throught your journey reacting to PMJ and its been amazing to witness!! I just love it when someone new is discovering PMJ!! Best group ever :) Fun fact : i once wrote a simple message to Haley Reinhart wich was : Hi, my name is Jay. This is my phone number (##########) call me if there is a zombie invasion so i can come get you and keep you safe so the day internet goes down i will bw able to listen to you sing again. And she replied : ahahaha! Alright i will ♡♡♡ Best day of my life xD

[@johnmiett6032]

I saw cartoon hearts floating into heaven from your chest. 🤗

[@markfrancis1316]

She could sing the phone book and I'd listen.

[@eljefe9020]

It was. Ten

[@ahnanguhr5918]

Maunalee, I don't how Chloe Feoranzos' work with PMJ gets overlooked. Not quite the vocal superstar like Haley or Morgan but she has a beautiful voice and i've never heard as good a clarinet. And she's really cute and she has so much fun and i'm sure you will love her and she still tours with group. "Dancing with Myself", "There goes my Hero" or my favorite "No Surprises"

[@TheMobileDJ]

Morgan Doing Aretha Franklin is Amazing Great reaction Video

[@guitarman0551]

Your should really check out PMJ "All About The Bass", with Morgan James AND Haley Reinhart. You will love it!

[@rockygreen8501]

I love PMJ also, but can't believe I haven't seen anything by Dan Hicks and the hot licks, how come?

[@rc1363]

Meet Morgan James' alter-ego, Peggy: kzbin.info/door/d4KNXQqb9F0MW8mjYz6keQ Morgan talks about Peggy with Scott: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYLTZ4aweNKtp9E

[@lonerangerak5232]

I would love to see you react to these fun PMj covers . All about the bass and the theme song from Pinky and the Brain . How do i recommend one on paypal ?

[@baronofgreymatter14]

perfect late 60s early 70s style

[@michaellyons949]

Check out morgan james , human , rag and bones man cover...

[@bobbyc3895]

One recommendation is to check out the channel of a young Japanese girl by the name of Yoyoka. She's a drummer who loves classic and hard rock. She does the drum tracks for songs like "Rock This Town" by Stray Cuts to several Led Zeppelin covers to Foo Fighters, Queen, Police, RHCP. It might actually be a fun channel to watch with your daughter as well. So 5 recommendations from her channel - the Stray Cats song, Sugar We're Going Down by Fall Out Boy, Virtual Insanity by Jamiroquai, Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson/Bruno Mars and Bicycle Song by Queen (which is great because her younger brother makes an appearance).

[@tahoemike5828]

Morgan James has her own YT channel with tons of content. Check out her version of "Sledgehammer," that is a good time. Just about everything she has put up is great. Another (and the OG) PMJ star singer is Robyn Adele Anderson. Check out her channel, and take your pick.

[@cward1701]

Just smashed the subscribe button! Digging your videos with PMJ. Check out PMJ's Tomorrow from Annie as a Motown jam. Sho Bean is a monster! And if 40's retro jazzy stuff is your jam, you need to check out Melody Gardot. Really just about anything she does is awesome, but start with Baby I'm a Fool and Your Heart Is As Black as Night. The latter was covered by Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa. And if you haven't heard of Beth and Joe, girl, you have some work to do! 😁

[@aceroadholder2185]

If you like Morgan, here is a fun video where she shows off her operatic training. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWGZaY1_opd3bbs

[@gynack]

Toxic by PMJ with Melinda Doolittle - another re-invention with crazy good vocals by Melinda. Black Hole Sun is another superb performance with Haley Reinhart on vocals with PMJ. It's a bit short but you'd love the Haley /Casey Abrams duet performance of Moanin' on American Idol, a amazing, blistering Jazz performance on a basically Reality Pop show, and they took the house down. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIewinZ6gaZ5aqc

[@johnc6228]

I'll be personally responsible for at least a few hundred views of that version by the end of this year.

[@pen7759]

Indeed me too!

[@tahoemike5828]

I'm sure that you are getting tons of PMJ suggestions. Here are two of my favorites (not including everything Haley/Morgan). The first is their version of "Sweet Child O Mine" with Miche Braden doing it as a New Orleans blues(11.4 M views). They have a pop-up video version up, but here is the original kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXuWc3R8lJZor7M The second is this cover of "Mr. Blue Sky" (E.L.O. cover) with Allison Young. Allison is a singer from Nashville with a very vintage style. She has her own YT channel, and is an amazing young singer you have probably never heard of, but she is a delight. (Also recommend her covers of Crazy, and Fever with Josh Turner Guitar) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIXFf3abr6h9hK8

[@TheDivergentDrummer]

You should Check out Morgan James with PMJ doing It's a Mans world

[@jamestreanor4361]

PMJ featuring Karen Marie "Creep"

[@davidphillips4476]

why isn't she a monster main stream star.....holy...

[@tibal3710]

Mykal Kilgore, the back up vocal does an impressive cover of lean on in Stevie Wonder style

[@elgenetiamzon1062]

His performance of "My Heart Will Go On"(with PMJ) was nothing short of spectacular! It is one of my favorite PMJ covers.

[@paulfyffe4854]

She should really listen to Morgan James version of Human. it will blow her way. bring tissues you're going to need them

[@lynnfellows1038]

You should give a view of Morgan James with Adrianne Savalas (Telly's daughter) and Haley Reinhart doing All About The Base---it just get any better than that!

[@lynnfellows1038]

All About The Base --- it just doesn't get any better than that !!!

[@dfhowes]

@@lynnfellows1038 That's where I discovered Morgan James and am forever indebted to PMJ for it. But if you're going to help promote Morgan, let's do it right! Here's the link, people. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l33Ri2SEhtJlq80

[@southernpatriot6169]

Please do a reaction to Morgan James version of Sledgehammer!

[@KyleS.1987]

Morgan sounds phenomenal singing anything, but my God how good would a Yeah Yeah Yeah's cover have been, tho?

[@PapaRotzzi]

I think you may need a new Magic8Ball

[@markmcqueen1882]

I don't know if you've done Sweet Child O Mine featuring Miche Braden? Check it out if not.

[@bruceraffensperger5034]

Wes is right, so many videos and different singers, like Von Smith

[@tahoemike5828]

I mentioned him in another comment, but I need to recommend a young man named Josh Turner (not the country singer). He is a guitar (bass, banjo, mandolin ... anything with strings) PLAYER, arranger, and singer. Take your pick of his covers and originals, you can't go wrong. He often performs as part of the duo "The Other Favorites," with partner Carson McKee, and with Reina del Cid and Toni Lindgrin. I recommend his colabs with Allison Young, and his Frankie Vali medley as particular fave's of mine, but there is so much more. His Paul Simon Covers are great too, and he recently toured the UK performing the "Graceland" album. This is another young one to keep an eye on. Here is his video list... kzbin.infovideos?view=0&sort=dd&shelf_id=0

[@bertjones3010]

Why is the Eight Ball a "he"? The flaws that you pick up on might be the result of the one camera one take productions of the band. On a side note, Scott published an interesting book, Beyond the Jukebox, that covers the journey of this concept and himself which I thought a good short read.

[@darrellspurr6030]

Still think you need to do All About The Bass it is there best.

[@barbarahouser2193]

that background singer needs to back the truck up, she came outta nowhere....nuuh!!

[@ericzeichert511]

Clearly, your Magic 8 Ball is irretrievably defective and broken, and needs to be discarded before it can do any more damage.

[@Kevin15301]

Is there any other person in the world that can better deliver a performance from just standing behind the microphone? Why is it, that she isn't a household name? Take a look at Morgan covering Sledgehammer.

[@geraldsandlin5180]

was she trying to cheat the cheating device.

[@rhhfayetteville]

Great performance but you were spot on with your critique. Morgan’s breathing was off which forced a couple of spots where she was forced and came out flat...... a bit surprising as she nailed the same in a couple of videoed live performances. None the less, awesome performance and I’d give her a little better than your eval... 9.97

[@mariogansbeke]

How can anyone be mad at you for something? Deuh ???!!!

[@stuarthazard3162]

Gotta lose the eight ball

[@Skywarder0]

Awesome reactions, if you have time do a reaction to this one Sweet Dreams + White Stripes Mashup | Pomplamoose ft. Sarah Dugas kzbin.info/www/bejne/np6vc4Z5nqqil9U

[@donb4386]

She has an awesome voice and is certainly easy on the eyes, but every once in a while it sounds like she is yelling, not singing. This is a very minor criticism of a fine singer.

[@80HD8]

I didn't notice anything wrong but then I'm not a professional singer or musician so to me that was a 10. However she's not perfect according to you so she just gets a 9.5. Why not just drop her down to 1 or zero? I mean she did mess up right? I'm sure you could have nailed that song and not messed up the high note. so let's see and hear your perfect version. The arrogance of some of you posting videos, passing judgement like you're the worlds perfect singers and you'd never make a stupid mistake like they did.

[@jimcriswell1906]

John Demont, what the hell are you talking about? Stupid comment.
