Morgan James doing Dream On with PMJ is an absolute must. Her version gives a clear meaning to the lyrics.

[@agnesregards2286]

absolutely!

[@nitelite78]

I was impressed by Morgan James's Maroon 5 Maps cover. Much better than the original too. And very different.

[@xtravert2012]

Morgan is DA BOMB!!

[@glennelfmann3143]

Scott Bradlee is a musical genius!!

[@umpdaddy1]

Haley then Morgan then Ariana. You've seen Haley's Creep which is fabulous but you really, REALLY need to see Morgan doing Dream On. Morgan trained at Juliard for opera, went to Broadway and graduated to jazz. She is amazing. Casey Abrams was on American Idol with Haley and they became good friends and collaborators. Haley and PMJ doing Seven Nation Army and Don't Speak are must see. PMJ is a deep, deep rabbit hole.

[@sheilaholmes8455]

I voted for both on American Idol.

[@allenwhitmer8192]

​yeah, Haley and James Durbin, in my opinion were better than the final 2. It was obvious that J-Lo and Randy were against Haley, and she wasn't having it. Then Steven Tyler came out and told her forget everything Randy and J-Lo said because they were wrong and the crowd backed that up. Steven later said that was one of the reasons he quit , because they were playing favorites and he wasn't going to play that game

[@sheilaholmes8455]

@@allenwhitmer8192 JLo was downright nasty to Haley.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

PMJ always kills it. I've watched tons of videos from that project but I hadn't seen this one but I love how they take it total New Orleans. Perfect. And I love the fact that the bass player dude kicks It off, lol.

Lee Michaels "do you know what I mean" would be a great next listen. Have a great weekend!

Pmj featuring Morgan James (the blonde in this video) any are good, but Dream on is amazing!

[@lefty3141591]

A fun reaction. It is amazing how the presentation can impact the meaning of a song. PMJ have impressed me with what they are able to do by changing up the sound of the song.

[@jamesdamiano8894]

Them doing Bad Romance is pretty cool also. Have you guys ever seen Puddles Pity Party, if not then you would have some fun with him. Especially the two big mashups.

[@dianewillson1289]

I loved the new Orleans jazz vibe on this!

[@TxFlyBoy1]

Haley Reinhart singing "Don't Speak", "Seven Nation Army", and "Mad World" are great follow-ups. And Morgan James is a powerhouse as well...her performance of "Dream On" and "Gethsemane" are great next steps into highly enjoyable journey that this Juliard trained professional's performances provide.

[@ThomasThorson]

I've seen both Haley Reinhart and Morgan James in concert (independent of PMJ) and they have two of the absolute best voices on the planet. Well worth bringing them on the channel as solo artists.

[@NyarlathotepAD]

Long time coming, the return to PMJ, i hope you'll continue on this journey with them. I'd suggest one of my favorite covers "Maps" for next enjoyment.

[@agunslinger9349]

OMG. I love that song and this rendition. When Hailey Reinharrt belts out her piece!!!

[@user-wu1tz4jv6g]

"The Blonde" is Morgan James. She has a "rabbit hole" of her own. You must hear her version of "Dream On" with PMJ.

[@lewistasso8866]

Something about PMJ. They are classic. They bring back times many decades ago when things were civil. I feel like I should wear a white sports jacket and a black bow tie. Naturally, I would be offering a drink to my friends watching along.😉🍺🍸

[@kenrobins6262]

Great reaction to a great rendition. I especially like 11:23 when it sounds like Phil says "Postmodern Juice Box". (Just teasing, but it does!) Yes, listen to Morgan James singing "Dream On" with the group.

[@rayray6982]

You gotta hear them do No Doubt's song Dont Speak!! fantastic

[@allendesalme197]

Yes - watch the blonde. Morgan James, do Dream On with PMJ - I think she is the best female singer around right now

[@mikeconway9849]

Great reaction, Sam and Phil! I'm so glad you circled back to PMJ. Thank you, Mark, for the request! I've seen both Haley and Morgan live, and each of them are fantastic singers. Morgan and PMJ's cover of Aerosmith's Dream On really shows her powerhouse vocals. And yes, definitely better than the orinal.

Indeed! I was lucky enough to see them earlier this month in the UK as part of their 10th Anniversary Tour, one of the singers was Ashley Campbell - daughter of the great Glen Campbell! 🥰

[@Mrmanly1000]

You need to listen to the blonde (Morgan James) do "Dream On", she will blow your socks off!

[@rockymountainjazzfan1822]

Morgan James is an accomplished singer. Haley Rinehart is more of a newcomer who sings both rock and jazz. Ariana Savalas is the daughter of Telly Savalas. Telly Savalas gained big fame in the 1970's playing a NYC detective as Kojak.

[@kenttaylor9238]

Fun fact: Hailey Reinhart was the voice of young Bill on the Netflix series, F is for Family.

[@daisypooch4034]

You need to do PMJ cover of white stripes 7 Nation Army and listen to both the original first followed by Post Modern Jukebox!!! It will blow you away!!! Stellar composition, choreography and performance from both bands!! And completely unique unto themselves!!

[@darleendionne6403]

Haley Reinhart is an amazing vocalist! I can't find any good quality performances (maybe someone else can point you in that direction) except for those on American Idol. All of which were outstanding!

[@jaybourne1185]

in addition to AI stuff on youtube , good quality ones include her black and white live version of "i put a spell a spell on you", chess records recordings with her dad, "my baby just cares for you" with jeff goldblum, "wild horses w/ slash & kennedy, "don't know how to love you" impossible project documentary, "the letter" video, the "free" video, "can't help falling in love with you" extra ronkoske video and of course, all 9 of her postmodern jukebox video... enjoy! 😎

[@annaradlinger1107]

This is a great video. The song is so nice from this group. The flavor is very 1940's. The three women singing give off the vibes of listening to the The Andrew's Sisters. Jazzy, swing, & soulful sounds. ❤❤❤

[@chrislaustin]

Everyone at PMJ is beyond talented(singers, musicians, tap dancers, etc.), but often times their takes on certain songs can be very hit or miss for me, that being said, this is one of the HITS for sure.

[@jpdj2715]

Scott Bradlee in a genius way rotates musicians in his PMJ from a pool of extremely good performers that yet are called "musical outcasts" - by themselves inn the first place. It's his version of the Got Talent and Voice world, with cloudy interweb revenue, where performers are commodities that never become world famous and consequently never get expensive and consequently never get rich. At least he understands musical qualities a lot better than some Simon ever can, while taking loads of tangenti in order to finance the new rich celebrity lifestyle off of that business model.

[@Darth_Lunas]

Look up all of PMJ w/ Haley Reinhart. It's amazing.

[@NightFogFilms]

Ariana Savalas is the daughter of original Kojak from the 70's TV series, Telly Savalas.

[@ColonelSpankysLostBattalion]

The Swinging' Medallions - "Double Shot (Of My Baby's Love)"

[@jaybourne1185]

great reaction guys.... this was the first postmodern jukebox i saw and still one of my favorites. it does excellent job of representing the overall experience of what pmj does so well. not just the excellent vocalist, musicians and arrangement but meticulous implementation of "vintage" character though their outfits, expressions, movements and setting that virtually transfers you back in time. its also great how each of the women are unique in vocal attributes and styles yet can then also harmonize so well together... in addition, the dual bass play was very creative touch and notice how it ends with the bass getting the last word.... well, because its "all about the bass". 😎

[@donmcneal233]

Kids! You "must" treat everyone to PMJ's stuff! Hailey's, "Don't Speak" / James's, "Take me To Church" / Puddle's "Royals" & "Chandelier". Just keep going PMJ! Oh! Their first, (One take), Journey's, "Don't Stop Believing"! Great, great great!

[@mikemortale9708]

You might want to check out “The Speakeasy Three” doing “When I Get Low I Get High “. Great song and video.

[@markrolman1034]

Scott Bradley is a musical genius. I have only seen a very few PMJ covers that weren't as good as the original. I saw this probably a couple of years ago and I agree that one blows to original one away.

[@truckrboat]

The guy who opened the song, Casey Abram’s and the first female singer, Haley Reinhart are both alumni of American Idol

[@robertwade8884]

That’s where I’ve seen them and followed them ever since. I think Haley’s best performances have been with PMJ. She does everything great though and I believe she is one of the best female singers of all time. The amazing things she can do with her voice.

[@larryairgood4320]

Great choice and a favorite at their live performances. No bad choices, but since you enjoy some Paul Simon, PMJ covered Simon's "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover" with a New Orleans "Second Line" Style Cover (their description). Myself, one of my favorites would be "Bad Romance-- Vintage 1920's Gatsby Style Lady Gaga Cover featuring Ariana Savalas & Sarah Reich" Love watching how much fun Sarah has tap dancing.

[@joeturner1181]

This video was the gateway drug to Post Modern Jukebox, Haley Reinhart, and Morgan James for me. Haley w/ PMJ on Creep and Seven Nation Army are outstanding. Morgan w/PMJ on Dream On, Take Me to Church, and Sweet Child 'o Mine are just as good, if not better than, the originals. Haley and Morgan do a duet of Dear Prudence (with just Morgan's husband Doug on guitar) that's definitely better than The Beatles' version.

[@Gort-Marvin0Martian]

I remember when this first came out. I watched it over and over. BTW, credits refer to sax but I'm pretty sure that is the clarinet player. And he was great. That's my instrument of choice although I played other instruments. This is just magnificent.!!! Thanks for reentering it into my brain. Your comments were spot on!! As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.

[@bobsblues9944]

You need to check out Seven Nation Army by Haley

[@markalleneaton]

Some great suggestions here; I'll add my personal PMJ favorites: Green Day's "Blvd of Broken Dreams" with Maiya Sykes, Billy Idol's "Dancing with Myself" with the Chloe Feoranzo, an Andrew Sister's version of Spice Girl's "Wannabe", and Michael Jackson's "Thriller" with Wayne Brady (stay for the Zombies!).

I would suggest 7 Nation Army to see Haley doing a '30s New leans twist that brings in stylings of Ella Fitzgerald, Billlie Holliday and...Jessica Rabbit (of course) . It has the best look at her scat ability. There's plenty of great PMJ though

[@Drake844221]

Another PMJ song that you should definitely listen to is their Don't Stop Believing cover. The video really makes it just... glorious. As for Meghan Traynor, I don't have a problem with the original. I appreciate how disruptive to social norms it was at the time. That said, I will happily listen to this one far more readily than I'd be drawn to re-listen to Meghan's version of the song. Though, I think that we can all agree that the worst cover of this song came from Kidz Bop, which missed the obvious substitution of "I'm bringing booty back" by not going with "I'm bringing beauty back"... and instead going with "I'm bringing it all back"... which... doesn't sound like "it all" with the way they sing it...

[@racinnut77]

I saw Morgan James live (not PMJ). She can sing my auto insurance policy and it would sound great.

Few reactors seem to catch the New York, New York (Sinatra) snippet in the song. I do like this one much more than the original, its not just the video.

Besides the "New York, New York" riff, it's quickly followed by a "Mr Sandman" riff!

Many of PMJ covers are better than the originals, including this one. Actually, I saw this video first without knowing the Megan Trainor's original. And when I did see Ms. Trainor video, I thought it was catchy, but sux. Scott Bradley is brilliant by the way he can re-arrange music and songs into something completely new and improved. One of my favorites is their version of the theme song to "Pinky and the Brain". Probably their best IMHO is the cover of Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" with a collaboration of a number of artists.
