[@violetflame23]

For those who wonder why Morgan is not a big star, she signed with Epic Records. But I heard her say in an interview that she wasn't willing to compromise with some of the music industry's agenda, so they dropped her after 2 albums. Achieving fame was never one of her goals, it was always about the music. Along with all of her amazing talents, she has integrity as well.

The first time I was listening to that piece I was on a roadtrip with friend whom one was in the military too (just a rookie tho). We were listening to it while sitting under a perfectly clear sky full of stars. And the Song just took us straight to heaven. We were completely speechless and my friend told me later that he actually shed some tears because of how much he felt the song.

This came on SiriusXM the other day, and it was the first time I ever heard her voice. I actually pulled over to listen to it without any distraction. Morgan James' voice deserves one's full attention. She's brilliant. And what I like is she can be powerful or delicate without all the unnecessary, showy vocal gymnastics which have come into vogue in vocal/pop/R&B singing in the past 20 years or so. She is direct. She doesn't need to bombard the listener with a dozen different notes within each word - she nails it with simplicity and power.

[@NYClocationScout]

This cover has been stuck in my head. He’s an insanely great pianist and arranger and her voice is off the charts. When just two people can create such an immense intensity, I find it overwhelmingly beautiful. Just listen and have a great day.

My wife and I were at the show in Richmond, Va. Her performance was amazing. Removing the usual bluster of the instrumentals and replacing it with a subtle single piano accompaniment allowed her voice to be the focus of the audience. It really is a hard song to sing and she brought a certain purity to the song. Well deserved standing ovation in Richmond.

[@nathantye]

Me and my best friend was at the show in Richmond as well and I COMPLETELY agree. I stood up immediately at the end of this performance. The entire show was amazing but this stood out amongst greatness. I can close my eyes and go back to her singing this song that night. Bravo!

[@jackdedert2945]

I liken her to one of those artists--be they instrumentalist or singer--who can just 'think' a note and it flies out of her instrument without even thinking about it. It just...happens. I know she has honed her craft with great diligence, but it all serves to get to that point.

Dear Ms James, while a priest now, I did a couple years in a choir and have two years of lessons of operatic singing. As such, my hat (literally, my priest hat, the one you can see in my picture) goes down. You are a real talent, Ms James. Your voice has great clarity and you have masterful control of it, you sing with a lot of emotion too. That is why folks pay big money, to hear that emotion. That is real performing art.

Morgan James is an absolute powerhouse in the world of music, a vocalist whose extraordinary talent and versatile artistry have set her apart as one of the most compelling performers of her generation. From her early days on Broadway to her stunning solo career, Morgan James has consistently captivated audiences with her soulful voice, impeccable technique, and magnetic stage presence. James's journey began in the realm of musical theater, where she quickly made a name for herself with standout performances in productions such as "The Addams Family," "Godspell," and "Motown: The Musical." Her time on Broadway honed her skills and showcased her ability to command the stage, drawing rave reviews for her powerful and emotive singing. However, it was her transition to a solo career that truly allowed her to shine and explore the full breadth of her musical abilities. Her debut solo album, "Hunter," released in 2014, marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter. The album, a blend of soul, R&B, and pop, highlighted James’s remarkable vocal range and her ability to infuse each song with raw emotion and authenticity. Tracks like "Call My Name" and "Say the Words" display her incredible control and the rich, resonant quality of her voice, earning her a loyal following and critical acclaim.

The best amen i ever heard

[@JitteHuitema]

How on earth is it possible that Morgan is still (relatively) unknown??? What a voice. What a performer. What an incredible reach. Wow. Wow! Wow!!!

[@duanepadilla90]

Me: Catching up on Twitter, decide to listen to some Take Me To Church covers while doing so. I get to this performance and within moments I'm no longer reading my twitter feed, because I need to look up at the screen and watch the lovely lady that is singing this song with such great passion. Thank you.

This is my favorite version of this song she totally nailed it😊

[@sarnieken]

I discovered this group today, following a Facebook posting by a friend. All I Can say is, 'what have I been doing to miss out on this?!?!' Amazing, Amazing, Amazing!!!!

[@mrapollinax]

This is amazingly good, knowing it was done in one take makes it even more so.

[@olorda]

Just how incredible that Scott Bradlee gets to work with Morgan James and vice versa. Just extraordinary that these people find each other and then produce this wonderful music together 🙂

[@Desni973]

She is tearing a hole in timespace with the power of her voice. Time stands still and there is no space when listen to this.

[@Jaampow]

You know it's a good song when PMJ does not have to find an era to match this song. They just do a cover and that's that. This song has so much raw emotion and getting Morgan James to use her voice is just so amazing, I still cannot fathom how good that was. This was a great song, thank you for a great cover, hope you find more songs like Take Me To Church, just.... wow :)

[@kyleamarias8647]

Ive watched so many covers of this song but I always come back to Morgan! She sings with so much intensity and emotion! Best cover ever!

[@GuffeyYT]

Mr. Bradlee, Ms. James: that was beautiful. Some songs are just for fun, and some songs are quite serious. Take Me to Church is quite serious, and I feel that your performance was very respectful to that. Thank you both very much.

[@comandantecheguevara6273]

Sounds much better ,then the original version. Morgan and Scott are the best who ever performed this song , really fine job ! Thanks a lot for the pleasure listening to this song !

[@luciapatino5351]

I am speechless with her voice, I just love it. Thank you for make my day happy with your music.

[@kencleveland1762]

Musical prowess from every direction in this video. Morgan is incredible. Scott is killing it on the piano. You both are in sync something fierce.

[@ericduminil]

I'd love to hear Pink Floyd's "Great gig in the sky" played by PostmodernJukebox and sung by Morgan James. Pretty please!

[@ML-dl1cp]

If you love that song, check out the version by "The Last Hurrah". It's incredible.

[@ericvuillemey2135]

Or this mindblowing High School girl (at the 1 min mark) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXfQgH98hcmXmMk

[@jasonmarques1480]

Follow her on Facebook and see when she's doing a fan request show. Request it and she may grant it 😁

[@ericduminil]

@@jasonmarques1480 Thanks for the tip. I tried a few times. If I remember correctly, she knew the song, liked it, but said she'd need a lot of practice before she could sing it. Feel free to join and propose this song too, if you're interested!

[@melomaniakjm]

I love the fact that she does her version with great arrangement and a pianist that listens to what's going on and also that she gives it all she got, misses a few things but who cares she keeps going with the flow. I can listen to this on a loop, what a voice what a sould and passion this lady seems to have. Thank you.

[@aireretube]

Essa música já linda e emocionante, mas na voz dela, com essa interpretação e esse piano impecável, emocionante!

[@LuBlues]

*What voice is this, my God. I love you Morgan. You are magnificent!

[@michaelk980]

Bachelor's of Music in Voice from Juilliard + years on Broadway = education, training and experience. That is the difference between getting lucking with an ear-worm, and having pure platinum pipes.

[@Strettpegger]

HOLY SH*T what a performance - since KZbin's algorithms caught up with my musical tastes a fortnight ago and recommended a PMJ cover (7 Nation Army) I have had a VERY enjoyable few days exploring their 'back catalogue' and by default Morgan James & Hayley Reinhart - (see the Dear Prudence duet - its sublime) - but this tops everything I've watched so far - jaw droppingly good........

[@InamorataMillie]

One of my favorite songs is Dear Prudence. I’ll hope over there now.

[@jasonmarques1480]

Seven Nation Army is performed by Haley. She's good too 😃

[@jackdedert2945]

I really think her cover (and Scott's arrangement) of Aerosmith's 'Dream On' is really the apex of her work with PMJ.

[@eaks52]

My god Ms. James you have out done yourself and that is a near impossibility. Your songs have sent shivers scurrying up my spine many many times but this one really hit me solid, a direct punch! Thank you.
