"I can make music or I can be famous"-Morgan James

"I'm not a jukebox." - also Morgan James.

[@agustingonzalezmartinez3841]

Morgan James ALWAYS brings tears to my eyes when singing Dream On and Take Me to Church!

[@dianareneeart6383]

I love your intro. Could listen to it forever. It's really cute. With that little 'rawr' at the end

[@BethRoars]

Thanks! I rawred it myself x

[@nickclark6236]

I know right, that 'rawr' is adorable.

[@nenadbozic4816]

I adore the 'them-them' part; I never skip the intro because of it ^_^

Finally! Morgan "I can breathe through my skin" James ! :) Wohoo :) Thank you :)

[@emanuelmayer]

I believe, she could sing in space. Sadly, we would not hear that :|

[@addisondavis8876]

"My whole body is my instrument." Totally. As I watch her sing, every part of her is in the moment. Whew. Doug Wamble, you are one of the luckiest men in the world. What a team!

[@danvalencia4755]

Morgan and many others from PMJ are perfect examples of how screwed up the music industry is. How can such talented people not be more famous as a Taylor Swift or Miley Cyrus. Sad

[@procrastinator99]

100% agree.

[@HelplessTeno]

Apart from her run being absolutely insane, Miley is a pretty great singer.

[@robertthompson5908]

I get what you’re saying but you picked a bad example - Miley Cyrus is a phenomenally talented singer.

[@danvalencia4755]

Didnt say she was a bad singer but is she as good as Morgan? I dont think so

[@Jay-ql4gp]

I first saw this video a year or two ago. It was the first time I had ever heard her sing. From the moment she walked out I knew it would be something special. Her voice is a hug for the soul. She gives me goosbumps.

[@ojtheviking]

You nailed it when you said it was very James Bond-like. I could really see this as the intro song to a Bond movie, although I'm not quite sure "Dream On" is a good Bond title, lol.

[@DanielRodriguez-eh1qd]

This is my absolute favorite from PMJ. Morgan James is stunning, both visually and vocally. Her stage presence just captivated you.

[@ExUSSailor]

Please do a reaction for the Postmodern Jukebox cover of "Creep", featuring the BRILLIANT Haley Reinhart. And, Scott Bradlee, the piano player, is the absolute genius behind the arrangements of PMJ covers.

[@Cbyneorne]

Haley is all kinds of awesome. I think my favourite PMJ vocalist is still Sara Niemietz though.

[@BethRoars]

Here is reaction to Haley Reinhart which you might like: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3_bfqaHmpiNlck

[@rjlong1025]

@@BethRoars - See my comment above about Morgan singing opera.

[@OracleCura]

That's such a huge note at 5:24, gorgeous. I find there's something really cathartic about hearing a singer really hit that point of resonance and just let the note breathe without any vibrato.

[@PK--ITA]

Rather, it's at 7:54 (Beth time), the transition from a muffled tone to an open one, it's a masterpiece. ...and 8:54 open value. 😍😍

[@pettyeddie2000]

Morgan is amazing ! The first time I ever saw her was on PMJ singing on I'm All About That Bass with Haley. Amazing version. One of my favorites.

[@madonbarma2531]

Don't forget that this is an actual live recording...... PMJ is just too awesome!!!

[@machramblin1127]

Thank you for sharing Morgan James. She is soo very good i cant understand why she isn't an international superstar. Love your show ..

[@Seven50ml]

Wow thanks for introducing me to this amazing singer. Couldn't help but get a bit emotional during that crescendo.

[@p5gBand]

Hi Beth, I saw Morgan at a sold out show in a small club (500 people?) and she was incredible. I must say I agree that it was one of the best show I've seen. Thanks for featuring her.

[@jasonstinebaugh8447]

Ok, right off. Aerosmith are one of my absolute favorite bands. And this song is one of my favorite songs of theirs. I went into this with a lot of trepidation. But OMG! This was AMAZING! Her power, her souly jazzy delivery is just transcendent! Thank you for introducing her to me!

[@dfhowes]

When I first heard this cover, I couldn't help but hear, Steven Tyler's voice in my head. I mean, come on, Steve and this song are an icon. I had to listen to it twice more before I could not hear Steven and then was able to fully appreciate Morgan's version. Now I absolutely love it! Frisson every time.

[@NoodleXXII]

Clicked this so fast. *Love* this song and Morgan's cover of it is so beautiful.

[@christianpomrenski3578]

Morgan James is such a soulful talented singer. She's amazing. I stumbled upon her one day on KZbin and I have been following her since. I agree the arrangements are so interesting. Your analysis is perfect. You are so interesting to listen to. Thanks for sharing.

[@Babrex]

Absolutely love your content Beth and I am so glad you reacted, more like you already know of postmodern jukebox. Bless you Beth. #roar

[@georgeisaak5321]

The whole package was an extraordinary journey to me ! The musicians ...wonderful and gave to it a special Jazz sound , then Morgan steps in and she starts performing and i was crying silently not to lose a moment from the "magic" that took place before my eyes . This lady sounds like an angel , she looks like a DIVA and all i can say about this song is that i never thought anyone could make it better than Aerosmith did but i was wrong ! All of them did quality job here and of course Morgan James took it to the next level !!!! experienced , classy , absolutely stanning and her emotions were spot on , it doesn't get better than this . Thank you Beth for teaching me something i didn't know !!!! Have a nice day !

[@BrickNewton]

I am such a fan of this song and of Morgan James herself. Her version of I'm only Human by Rag n Bone man is stunning

[@kylieperry323]

100% agree!

[@AweHitero]

"Maps" by her blows me away over and over again =)

[@jimepley1210]

Best reaction to Ms James I've seen. It's terrific that you did your research on her background. Nobody sings like that without some serious, serious training. Thanks.

[@zappafranknanuk2529]

Love your analyse of Morgan. That is how I feel about her too. She is so great! So much soul and so much technice. Epic.

[@parzivalplays7403]

I had never heard of Morgan until I watched your 'Good Job' Podcast ... I then went on to watch some of her live club shows on KZbin ... she is AMAZING! That's what I love about your channel... stumbling onto awesome artists completely by accident, that I know I will follow for a LONG time. Thanks a ton Beth! :)

[@Kuth70]

BTW I saw her with Post Modern Jukebox. She did a performance of "Take me to church". Just her in a beautiful white gown and a spot light on her. Probably the closest thing to a religious experience I'll ever get. So powerful, it had my eyes welling up with tears.

[@luizcardozo9141]

Morgan james is so amazing. Everytime i hear this song i forget about those parts where she goes so loud, for so long and still on the right notes. ANd everytime i go..Jeesus. You should PMJ maps. Also with morgan james.

[@carlosaquino1138]

Reacting to a Morgan James performance is extremely easy and pleasant, right? She is one of the greatest singers in the world today!!! Cheers from Brazil! Your channel is awesome !!

[@michaeltutty1540]

Live this reaction. Morgan James won my ear with one single note; the first phrase she sings in All About The Base. I knew by that one that I was hearing an amazing talent. Everything I have heard since only reinforces that. The way she sings, the way she places notes and tunes them reminds me of the jazz greats from the 30s. The early Ella Fitzgerald recordings have that same vibrancy and life plus the incredible, other worldly ability to tune a chord to perfection.

[@ladelteravada]

I actually requested it on the last PMJ video too so very happy this showed up and that you've seen her live. Had tickets to Stockholm but had to cancel last minute unfortunately. Absolutely love her!

[@markcadman6149]

Agree with everything you say, saw her live in Birmingham last year-AWESOME !

[@Gifted163]

Beautiful arrangement, instruments not over whelming, almost subdued, so the voice can rise. I cannot add enough superlatives. This woman CAN DO IT! Wow oh wow!

[@jayholland2632]

You need to check out her PMJ 70's soul cover of 'Maps' by Maroon 5. It is insane.

[@saschaschneider6355]

I'm not sure how many times I've watched it but it must be in the low hundreds - and in all likelihood that counter is going to increase very soon now. I love how you can feel slight anger radiating off of her at times

[@tric5122]

thats what turned me onto PMJ and Morgan James. I knew I knew that song but it was so different from the original that it blew my mind. So much of their stuff that has come out recently sound like the same song vocally w/different music. Not sure if thats b/c of the class of singer they are using or b/c SB is trying to push out to much to quickly.

[@gambitchips3329]

T Ric same here! After i heard that rendition, i got hooked to pmj.

[@randypullman1155]

When she is really into it she's difficult to top. Her and her buddies singing "All about that bass" is a fun competition is a fun watch.

[@SSGregory]

WOW, you're doing Morgan James!!! That's awesome. I've seen her a couple of times here in DC and the lady is just amazing. She has some very interesting cover albums... and some impressive originals. New album coming soon, too!!! Thanks, Beth!

[@BethRoars]

No problem. She is fantastic! x

[@BeardyBaldyBob]

Even just that walk on at the beginning could start wars! Morgan is amazing! Ooh, you have to see her singing Maps! 🎶❤️

The first time I listened to this...I love this song,. Always have. But the first hearing of this version was like experiencing one's first kiss a second time. Pure magic and perfection, in the scoring, soul, emotion, arranging & performance.

[@ddunsmore402]

Strange that seeing Morgan James at the little gig in London was the best gig you've ever been to. I've been lucky enough to see her live 3 times: once in a small venue, once with PMJ, and once with a full philharmonic orchestral backing. The PMJ was special and the small venue was fantastic, but having her take center stage to sing James Bond themes with an orchestra was sort of once-in-a-lifetime.

[@BethRoars]

Morgan has a fantastic voice. Combined with it being a small intimate gig, it was fantastic!

[@ddunsmore402]

@@BethRoars The small gig was good. You could tell that the performance Morgan was putting out was top-notch, but there were technical issues. The stage monitors were messed up, she spent a solid 10 minutes, during her performance, trying to subtly get the attention of whoever was running sound before finally just unplugging them and crushing it on pure talent. Regardless, well worth the cost of admission. And it netted me a signed double vinyl of her white album lol.

[@saschaschneider6355]

Oh, I love Morgan James, I've seen her live in a small club in Munich and she was truly fantastic. Her feedback with the audience is as well. Great that you're reacting to her! Morgan's high notes in All about that Bass (ironically) were what drew me into PMJ in the first place. My favourite PMJ song is Maps, performed by Morgan. The belting she does is so great and she absolutely draws me in with her facial expressions. She is and stays my favourite PMJ vocalist and that's a heavily contested position, because they have so many great vocalists. Another one I like very much is Sara Niemitz, who always seems to have the most fun on stage and in videos and that's so very contagious. And, of course, the fabulous Haley Reinhart and Robyn Adele Anderson. I must've been to 5 PMJ shows and except for Von Smith all of the vocalists were great. Von Smith surely is skilled but I find his way of singing highly annoying. Among the male vocalists I've enjoyed Puddles and LeVance Colley are my favorites

[@BethRoars]

I'm a huge fan of hers and Haley Reinhart. I have a friend who has sung from them as well, so I'm biased as I think she is also awesome. :) x

[@saschaschneider6355]

@@BethRoars Uh, are you allowed to say who your friend is? ;) And yes, Haley is great, I could listen to her singing Creep all day. Or her singing Mad World together with Puddles.

[@LighteningLance]

In 1973, a new band called Aerosmith, did a cover recording and performed this song pretty well. Only because PMJ and Morgan James had yet to lay down the original years later as we see and hear here. Glad we settled that debate in this episode of "Alternate History: Through The Wormhole".

All major cities of the world needs a place like this even if it's just make-believe .. for one night.

As Morgan James has done many Post Moderm Jukebox songs, I am very familiar with them. I went to see them in my town. and I got some other awesome people from Post modern Jukebox like Christina Gatti, Kacey Abrams, Sarah Niemitz, that curly guy that plays the base often in PMJ clips and one of the two Tap-dancing ladies and 5 more artists.
