Vocal Coach Reacts To Post Modern Jukebox | Creep | Haley | Ken Tamplin

[@greencertifiedweb]

Interestingly, according to Scott Bradlee, she was coming there from another gig and running late. She didn't even warm up, did this in one take!

[@kentamplin]

Wow!

[@vidpie]

@@kentamplin This was recorded during Postmodern Jukebox's first European tour at a studio in Zurich on a day off. They also recorded a group version of "All About That Bass" that features Haley, Casey Abrams, Morgan James, and Ariana Savalas. PMJ had recorded both of those songs previously with different artists. It was a good call to rerecord them (probably to keep to the release schedule) because they are now the top 2 videos on their channel in terms of views. PMJ performed "Creep" on the short-lived Josh Wolf show. Haley was running late to it because she got caught in LA traffic. Josh later told Haley in a podcast that she and Jewell were the only singers who didn't lip synch on his show. "Creep" on JWS: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKTWlqeQjbx_gNU

[@HaleysTusk]

@@kentamplin Yeah, not true. Haley just joined PMJ in Berlin on their European Tour (her first time touring post Idol), she wasn't performing w/ anyone else. They recorded Creep, All About That Bass and one other song on their day off in Zurich, Switzerland, she was under the weather, this performance was purportedly a one take. Scott tells the story when he guests w/ Haley that Haley wanted to do another take, but Scott said that was the one. Scott had the idea to re-record "Creep" with Haley based on her performance of it for the first time in Lyon, France. At the time she had only recorded one song w/ PMJ ("Habits") but wanted to do another song for the show, she requested to sing their arrangement of Creep.... Here's the video that convinced Scott...(*Note* this was before the 70 million view video, notice how silent the audience is throughout, bursting into applause at the end. This was Haley's first time performing it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anuacnqcgbNpbck Haley meeting with PMJ rocketed both of them into the stratosphere w/ "Creep". Another fun fact, this was the first time Scott Bradlee, PMJ's founder (piano player), re-recorded an arrangement he'd already recorded w/ another singer. I have live Haley performances since 2012 on my channel if you want to hear her live. Here's my video from Haley's first appearance at the Troubadour in 2015, where Scott Bradlee tells the "Creep" story... kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3WQqoOVjNKtl7M

She's one of the most *underrated gems* in the business. She deserves huge success and a huge audience. _But hey, maybe we're all "very special" that can hear (and see) that.... xD_ And PMJ have made some EPIC covers in their own unique way, with absolutely *brilliant* solists!

@@kentamplin And I don't need to mention your great voice and academy project xD Like!

[@theblackdog2399]

She is underrated only because until now, she has refused to sign a record deal. Hence, she is criminally underexposed, but I have my fingers crossed that hopefully, she will eventually take the plunge.

[@MarkMicallef]

Her voice literally brings tears to my eyes. I just love he voice!

[@kentamplin]

She sang this beautifully, Mark!

[@KTBroadcasting]

I first heard this at my brother-in-law's wedding reception. There was a whole playlist of PMJ that played softly in the background while everyone ate, before the DJ kicked the dancing off. It gave the whole affair the feel of an upscale cocktail party, and I recognized the lyrics to All About That Bass and was like 'WTF?!" So this was the second song, and I made my husband go up and ask the DJ what this was. After that, we were fans! Love this! PMJ does various artists doing various songs in the style of the 20's, 30's and 40's They are AMAZING!

[@acmorse8922]

Haley is a gem!!! The founder and genius behind PMJ is Scott Bradlee (Composer/Arranger/Pianist) They have 4.45 million subs on KZbin/over a BILLION views of their material They tour the WORLD yearly with an ever changing cast of performers PLEASE react to PMJ Morgan James "MAPS| (Maroon 5)

I've seen Creep covered by so many artists. Not an easy song to sing, involves alot of emotion. She did very well with this jazz version. Can't go wrong with 70M views!

[@kentamplin]

She sure did!

[@xoxsilentrealmxox]

I've known about Haley and PMJ for years now but this is the first time I'm watching this reaction video. She's mesmerising. One of the best singers I've ever heard. You're right when you mentioned how unbelievable it is that her record label dropped her and she has a cover song worth 70+mil views.

[@davidturner4987]

She could blow away most of the major pop stars out there right now and is probably more deserving.

[@kentamplin]

Haley is great!

[@Boddissatva]

I’ve been listening to her since Idol. I too don’t understand why she’s not on the charts more She is ridiculously talented and not afraid to try everything and does it so well. She’s in control of her instrument.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Robert!

[@markbell4017]

I love Haley and I love PMJ. I think her biggest problem is that she, herself, doesn't know what she wants to sing. Her 3 albums are all over the place. I have loved her since Idol, but it's hard to develop a new, bigger fan base when you can't be categorized. I kinda like not knowing what you're gonna get next, but not many feel that way.

[@kentamplin]

Why be pigeonholed? I like variety.

[@mikedavis2017]

Fleewood MAC was categorized as jazz!

[@TheDryparn]

@@kentamplin I think that record company put her in a pop hole and that hid her real talent. I saw the same thing with Janet Devlin who sounded very uncomfortable and lost on her records after the X-factor, her style couldn't shine through the mainstream pop.

[@vidpie]

Haley knew she might only get one chance to produce an album and exerted herself. The NYT called her debut album "convincing and fresh." The LA Times described it as "a gamble" and noted "carefully crafted pop hits are traded in for depth... There are no disposable pop beats... Instead piano lines, horns and bright Motown-inspired dance-pop move the disc." The good thing is she had co-writing credit on 13 of the 14 songs. They didn't get radio play, but they did generate royalties from being used in commercials, a movie, and as piped music. That was enough for her music publisher to back the production of her second album. Her third album was released through Concord Music Group. It was mostly covers from the mid-to-late 1960s recorded using vintage instruments and tape. It's something of an homage to the repertoire of her parents' band and she included them in the making of it. Her 4th album came out last year and was a completely independent production. Yes, it exhibits a lot of variety within its 13 songs. "Honey there's the door" is the song that would likely become a pop hit if it had exposure.

[@Omarh9991]

[@chantzgnad88]

Your commentary on the "throw it at the wall and see what sticks" approach to today's artists is my response in a nutshell when people have asked me why I'm "not famous" yet...and why so many of these incredible artists like Haley rarely get more than a cult following...so glad she and some others are finally getting their chance now but sad it took so long I've loved her for years...thanks for covering and for the insight ❤️

Thanks for the suggestion, Curious Questions!

[@HaleysTusk]

Hi Ken, really enjoyed your review of this video. I've been a long time follower of Haley's since her Idol season and I'd like to address your thoughts about the music business. To me, every artist has their own path to follow. The 'dream', the template to any outsider is to 'sign a major deal', most people not understanding that the advance artists get was for all intents and purposes a loan to kick start their career w/ the label. That's where Haley was wounded for quite a while after Insterscope until she met up w/ PMJ. They had given her an advance to put together a band, readied to tour and she was suddenly dropped, no opportunity to build her brand, promote her debut album, let alone to pay back their advance. She "disappeared" for a couple years until PMJ. Having witnessed Haley's 'Journey' since Idol, I couldn't help but see it in the context of Campbell's "Hero's Journey". Although it was a terrible thing at the time, being unceremoniously released w/ a debt and having to realize if she was going to 'make it' it'd have to be by her own doing. I think the Interscope situation HAD to happen in her tale, it was the 'inciting' moment, the 'call to arms' in Haley's Hero's Journey, How badly do you really want this? Yes, Interscope treated her poorly, but to be honest, the Music Industry template is broken and really helps the business more than the artist. She'd be just feeding into the industry and not going out and learning who she really is as an artist. In 2012, it was the worst thing to happen to her, in hindsight, it was actually the best thing that could've happened to her. It forced her to find her own voice, find her confidence and forced her to take control of her career. We in the fan base had a nick name for Haley, in reference to Buffy, we called her "The Slayer", over coming the odds against her. She continues that tale with every accomplishment, a true "Hero's Journey" Thanks for the great revew and reaction, this still gives me goosebumps even five years later, Cheers!

[@kentamplin]

Thanks for sharing that with us, Haley's Tusk!

[@theblackdog2399]

@Haleystusk, With all due disrespect, Mr. Tusk, your sob story is simply not true at all. Haley never had to repay back any advances or anything else back to Interscope, for that matter. As Interscope failed to keep their end of the bargain. In fact, because Interscope was unable to fulfill their end of the bargain, they also gave Haley all the rights to her music at the same time. Indeed, Interscope tried to let Haley go as gently as they possibly could. You obviously have been watching too many 70s soap operas. Furthermore, when Haley was released by Interscope it was part of a belt tightening move by the company, as Haley was one of 65 music artists all trimmed simultaneously from Interscope’s roster of music artists at the same time. As Haley wasn’t released cause her album wasn’t viable or cause she was failing. She was released cause when Jimmy Iovine left Interscope for Apple Music, Interscope didn’t have any cash remaining to operate their business. Thus, Interscope had to make the tough decision to trim their roster of music artists. Now had Haley had any guidance subsequent to Interscope, she could have easily gotten re-signed to another record label almost immediately, but at that time, Haley was still more or less a kid. As she didn’t have the first clue about the music industry. Nonetheless, after Interscope she did a lot of overseas gigs. Then she began booking some of her own gigs over here in the USA. However, she soon found out the hard way that she still had to give up a share of the proceeds back to her management company anyway. Once she found that out, she started auditioning for various acting roles and did far fewer singing gigs until her management deal finally ended in mid 2014. As her former management company was the same management company that Phillip Phillips sued. Once her contract ended with them, she then started focusing on her singing career again and started booking her own gigs again until she hooked up with PMJ and made PMJ a viral sensation and Scott Bradlee a millionaire. Again, Haley was released by Interscope, but she wasn’t released with any debt as you ignorantly are assuming. If she had owed Interscope a debt, she never would have been able to afford to lay low until her management deal with her former management company ended in mid 2014. Give me a break. Not to mention that it was Interscope that was unable to fulfill their end of the bargain, not Haley Reinhart. Meanwhile, getting cut by a record label isn’t the end of the world as you always try to portray it as being. As most music artists have been cut by record labels on numerous occasions. That’s just the nature of the business. The thing about the music business is exposure, exposure, exposure. Cause without exposure, you are on the fast track to nowhere. Indeed, because of the fear of failure, Haley has been on the fast track to nowhere forever. Then someday in the not too distant future, she will inevitably start losing her looks and when that inevitability begins to happen, suddenly the gigs are going to progressively get harder and harder to get, until eventually she has to get a real job like everyone else to make ends meet. That’s when she is going to look back on her life and reflect on the stupid decisions she made in her youth. Music artists are like professional athletes in that they only have a short window of opportunity in which to achieve financial security and financial independence. Cause once it’s over, it’s over.

[@HaleysTusk]

The Black Dog you obviously didn’t watch this video and what he had to say about the music industry. You’ve been posting and deleting this for years, attacking those who disagree with you I finally had to ban you from my channel for your attacks. I have literally talked to her folks, have you?

Casey was the same year as she. She was third behind Lauren Alaina and winner Scotty McCreery. THAT was a good year to watch. Seeing the recap of it, seemed pretty clear that one and maybe two of the judges (Randy Jackson and J-Lo) had it in for her. Only Steve Tyler was blown away every time.

[@metalmilitia890]

This song, and her singing Seven Nation Army with PMJ, shows me she has an old soul. Something you don't really hear nowadays. I love it.

I would rarely say its a good thing that an artist gets dropped from a label... but it did work out for our lovely Haley tho! As i've understood it, the label wanted her to make generic pop tunes in an ocean of generic pop tunes while she herself had different music in mind. She was introduced to (the genius who is) Scott Bradley, together with Casey Abrams and they started working together with PMJ for several songs and tours and that gave her a second lease on music-life. Not only could she do what she liked to do within PMJ, sing classic styles like soul, jazz and the pop of yester-years, she also was able to show what she had to offer. And with over 70 million views on this song alone.. tells us all we need to know, she found success in the music she loves to make. She's now also an indie artist and her own music is something that could've been released way back when, it has that forgotten quality you dont see or hear often these days.. she still has it. So she pretty much decided that she was going to do it her way, and she is doing well at it... might not top the charts (sadly) but she has a strong following around the globe. Her performances are great, have a relaxed feeling to them with plenty of interaction and.. again.. that old fashioned good-timey feel is all part of it, both her music and her show. She's wonderful :)

Haley, like Clare Torry with "The Great Gig in the Sky," could not possibly have bettered this single-take performance. Of all of the songs that I, as a professional musician, have listened to over and over, these two songs by these two artists I have binged on the most. I only wish that there had been a video of Torry doing "Gig."
