Royals - ("Sad Clown With The Golden Voice") - Postmodern Jukebox Lorde Cover ft. Puddles Pity Party

[@TheJaredtheJaredlong]

Can we all please take a moment to simply recognize the fact that we now live in a culture where a small band with a clown in a suburban house can get 7 million views and it is in no way considered odd.

[@dalegaliniak607]

We think it's very odd, it's just become culturally acceptable to watch the freak show.

[@jerrygnoza7131]

Dale Galiniak Increasingly acceptable to PLAY OUR PART IN this freaksho that's already ALL AROUND. And always hasbeen. Hence how wonderful.

[@jessray2853]

i probably listened to it 100 times this week, scottBradley brings again.

[@quailstudios]

It's a subtle form of humor and NOT at the same time.

[@marley92282]

It’s 2019 and this beautiful collaboration has garnered 26M views.

[@emperor0013]

The pianist is the unsung and unseen hero of this rendition. Puddles was, of course, outstanding and stole the show but holy shit that piano accompaniment.

[@SirCharles12357]

Scottie's got the secret sauce!

[@grahambrown3196]

Why is puddles so tall and fat

[@loreb.8368]

I want the music sheet :(

[@jaymzcarter5458]

Anyone know where to the the sheet music for his accompaniment?

[@mattchu42069]

And they hide him completely too don't even get to see the back of piano guys head!

[@PuddlesPityParty]

Oct. 31 2020. This feels like a lifetime ago.

[@jinkleborg]

so strange how i caught this. what are the odds i'd see puddles this fine day?

[@maples328]

Had to come back after watching your new version upload. 🧐😍

[@AmandaBayleyCreates]

And we love you even more today!

[@ibtgb2]

Lol, I’ve listened to this like 20 times in the past week. So good. Makes me wanna learn an acoustic version.

[@carolratisseau3224]

Love you Puddles!

[@jplayzow]

He has such a timeless singing voice he sounds like he could do just about anything

[@ajrockinshockin2893]

There's something magical that happens when I watch Puddles performances. His voice clarity is always incredible. 👌

[@lynnegee6814]

Helluva voice 🗣🎙🎶

[@martinXY]

His enunciation is on point.

[@stuartholme4457]

He has a golden voice - and he definitely owns the songs he sings.

[@badeugenecops4741]

He's a professional singer.

[@ted9030]

for me it's also the way he moves

[@LhamoEx]

On Lorde's AMA on Reddit, she said this is her favorite verison on "Royals".

[@Ktmzqw]

I read it too. Shamefully for me, i follow ScottBradleeLovesYa's channel on KZbin and i skipped this video when he submitted and then forgot about it. Fortunately, Lorde herself said that and i had to watch the cover. Super awesome! And i got to know Puddles Pity Party, which was new for me. Totally win, win!!

[@MrSkrilla316]

And Simon buzzed him for it on AGT...

[@physicslawyer9845]

[@juliettebirch160]

Still fantastic! Please come play here, bring Puddles across the pond! Please, please, PLEASE???!!!

[@badeugenecops4741]

The power and control he has over his voice is impressive.

[@RevShifty]

Right? He has way more range and a much smoother delivery than most voicesw that deep. He really does have a golden voice.

[@kennethstephens396]

No denying it. Dude can sing. This guy is impossibly talented. I've watched this a thousand times. Love this guy

[@Evanthebat15]

I love how he can turn every song he sings into his own masterpiece, I lost it when he just calmly stormed off at the end.

[@steveroberts4911]

Best exit ever, right?

[@stuartmunro6027]

He always storms off 😂

[@FS2K4Pilot]

I know, he just splits.

[@stuartmunro6027]

We need more sad clowns

[@gabrielortiz665]

Omg yes... like what a drama queen. Lol 😆

[@KingfisherTalkingPictures]

I got to see Puddles live, and he puts on a great show. Not only is he an amazing singer, he’s also a great silent showman. Wonderful

[@PuddlesPityParty]

Oh hello! This still makes me happy-sad. Who else misses 2013?

[@donnaw3026]

Love this song, but 2013 was actually a rough year for me. I wish I'd found you back then--I could have used the emotional support. I've come a long and wonderful way since then!

[@sakurasilence6318]

Funny enough im in the same place and same exact circumstance i was 5 years ago except without my then better half. Im doing everything again but better hopefully this time.

[@notagainstephanie]

2013 was wonderful. Not a week goes by that I don’t think about it.

[@roblandry2327]

It's great!

[@chrisschultz8598]

Let me finish: again, after eight years, it's still my favorite cover, from the almost frantic actions of Puddles (I always chuckle when he squeezes his buttons) and the ennui of the background singers and the band just make this video fun to watch. Good show!

[@ragerancher]

It's amazing how clearly he can sing. You can hear every word so easily.

[@HeetXS]

Ive probably watched this 100 times. Man, you are awesome. Such a voice. Hard to compare.

[@HeetXS]

Wow just saw you are in Jacksonville, Oct 16th. Im taking off work!!!

[@jamesmaseobrown]

He blew me away when I first heard this, and I just keep coming back !!!

[@garysmith3037]

Shut up Mr. Forest Bear Studios, you were not brought upon this world to "get it".

[@harleymama5421]

Gary Smith to think he's 9n america got talent this week

[@roblandry2327]

It's starts my day ,very well done.

[@DCWilsonwriter]

It kills me how serious the backup singers look snapping their fingers next to a ginormous clown.

[@blueskye6372]

Contrast planned. Also the ladies wearing black.

[@alexanderlotharson5634]

Oh, for the right one (Robyn Adele Anderson) it's really easy because she never smiles.

[@Beer_Dad1975]

I'm trying to work out if he's "freakishly tall", or if the backup singers are just very short and he is just "normal really tall"

[@DCWilsonwriter]

Look at the beginning when he puts his water bottle in the grand piano. That will give you a good sense of his height. He is freakishly tall.

[@ChrisJones-ij3xp]

@@DCWilsonwriter That's a lantern, isn't it?

[@lwolter4605]

Mike Geier is an exceptionally gifted singer, performer. No surprise he took a simple composition and turned it into a hauntingly addictive performance both sight and sound. More please !

[@billv5915]

Thank you! I never knew his real name.

[@BillMarion]

This version changes everything about the song, and I love it. It's simply epic.

[@mechatamaro]

He is a genius in how he always leaves off the last of the lyrics to keep you wanting more.. this is the second song where he does this and it just has such a dramatic impact that I cannot even .

[@williamstebbins7294]

What is the first song that he does this?

[@randomunavailable]

But can you odd, now that's the question.

[@everythingknife8763]

"Always" and "Second song". *in Spanish accent* I do not think that word means what you think it means.

[@CrazyQuilman157]

@@everythingknife8763 I believe he means that every time Puddles performs this song, he ends it this exact same way.

[@fish56789]

Cute

[@thorinseex6176]

No denying it. Dude can sing.

[@postmodernjukebox]

Right?!

[@GaninIsMyName]

Yeah, he can. And you should tell him to let loose a little more like he did at the end of this song. For the most part he is a very "safe" singer. I really wanna see him wail something.

[@Yensehn]

See his version of Chandelier towards the end.

[@TlogicoP]

He's performing. Not every note has to be belted. In fact, that would make for a much blander song.

[@ronnieotts]

+Caleb Davis if you have a chance to see him live. He belts the shit out of songs. Powerful voice. Powerful emotion

[@RB-pi3jl]

That pause has everyone hanging on the opening note. Brilliant! Fantastic arrangement by PMJ and superbly performed by the cast and Puddles.

[@mefreedman8687]

Simply superb.

[@GabsDino]

But "Now" is postmodernism

[@crowfee2910]

As a massive compliment, something the style mixed with the clown asthetic makes it sound like part of something like the recent Joker movie. Such a great sound

[@jdane2277]

I know. He's crazy talented. I've watched this maybe 3 dozen times now. And of course I'm obsessed with Scott Bradlee's piano. He's doing a drum accompaniment ...how is that possible?

[@PeterRobieArt]

Puddles voice gives me chills every time I hear it. Love all the talent here with everyone. Can't wait to see you guys in Dallas.

Even a month after I've first seen this video, I just can't get enough. It's magical.

[@osovagabundo1]

its so nuanced, i can hear something a little different almost everytime. i'm drawn to it at least once a day-if not more.

[@martytaylor5366]

This song is infectious. I just can't stop playing it. Puddles has got the song writers thoughts in his head and he does a great job bringing them across in the song. Both vocally and with his body language. The music is absolutely perfect for this song including rhythm and beat. I love it. GREAT JOB!!!!! You Rock!!!!

[@normal_media]

and the girls expressionless satire is addictive as well

[@gmcbride66]

On top of an overall great performance, the message he is delivering puts him in the company of performers like Bob Dylan and Arlow (sp.) Guthrie. Rarified company.

[@rproctor83]

Wow, this song is truly incredible... I do like the original song, it's rather unique, but this song takes the cake by a long shot. His voice is utterly amazing and all I can say is wow...

[@geniej9093]

Love the reaction of base player when Puddles walks off. Back up singer's great sound yet terrifying stares. Can't remember a singer using R's the way Puddles did. Fabulous.

[@immarcesible]

When I first heard Royals, I listened to it at least 20 times that first day. I don't need to listen to this version as much because I can feel it in my soul. What a beautiful version that in many ways, especially in musical arrangement, surpasses the original.

[@PatKight]

I'm seeing covers of this all over the place this week. This is the only one that matters. I am in love.

[@osovagabundo1]

wow, an entire year has passed since i watched this first. I still cruise youtube looking for the latest puddles posting and see how much has happened in a year. This group PMJ and Puddles came at a very good time in my life and gave lift to a tough time. Puddles gave me a place to put my sad and also an avenue to see the beauty of that important and necessary emotion. Instead of dwelling on the sad i see how transformation can come through perseverance and process and having the sound of Big Mikes voice gives power to these actions. Thank you Puddles, Scott and all the musicians that made this happen.

The singer is extremely good, despite the occasional off-pitch problems, but it is the piano and its amazing accompanying harmonies that sets this apart. Positively BRILLIANT!!

[@srfsk8cree8]

Puddles is so awesome! Normally I would think someone that sings that good should maybe drop the clown thing, but he just owns it so hard. And the whole band and arrangement is just top notch. Rock on Puddles!

[@utrocket81]

The one word I continue to see in these posts is "mesmerizing". That is exactly the same word I was saying to myself as I watched the first videos a few days ago. Puddles is absolutely mesmerizing! I haven't been this excited about an artist since I was a teenager! His voice is so soulfully deep with a richness I haven't heard in a long time. I love watching the full performance from his music to his facial expressions and hand gestures. The arrangements are masterful. It is apparent that Puddles is outrageously talented, but with a kind and gentle spirit. I keep coming back for more and can't seem to get enough. I hope he goes far beyond America's Got Talent. I just don't want the future to ruin what I am seeing hear. He is genuine!

[@j0hnn13K]

[@sethcarson5212]

When you're a 6'8" singing clown you can pretty much have people call you whatever you want.

[@theknave4415]

The musicians of Postmodern Jukebox are unsung heroes. Consistently great performances.

[@TheShellbert]

I think you might mean instrumentalists. Those singers are definitely musicians.

[@bevhindle4727]

Agreed.

It’s just unreal! I remember seeing Puddles in the beginning but every time I come back I’m blown away

[@NancyConner]

I have to watch this every now and then. Just makes me so happy. Oct. 2020

[@WickedScott]

I was taking care of dying parents for a few years and got divorced so I fell out of the world for a bit. Music evoked too much emotion in me so I had to shut it out. As I slowly started listening to music again recently, I found you. Better late than never I guess.

[@chinookvalley]

It's helping me heal, in so many ways. I wish you well.

[@GINGERGARY1]

Me too I was taking care of my wife to 23 years. She passed last Oct now I can listen to all the music I want. I was watching America has talent and Puddle came on and that got me started

[@cybervigilante]

I took care of dying parents in Fl. Had relatives who offered advice but no help. Jeb defunded any state respite so I got exhausted 24/7 and went nuts. But I still had to care for them so I just put one foot in front of another, nuts or not. They passed and I eventually went sane again.

[@peachsncream5808]

I’m so sorry to hear about your hardships - I hope you are feeling a little better Today? As someone who suffers full time depression - I can honestly say that the old saying time heals all wound is bullshit -In my experience . I hope you have found some inners peace. Take care of yourself and each other. 👣🦘🇦🇺🍻❤️‍🩹

[@ivandariogye]

[@stuartholme4457]

It's all so perfect! The backup vocals on the "I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule" - just angelic!
