"Who's this?" That, my young friend, is Morgan James. That tiny body holds the most powerful voice you could imagine. She's classically trained in opera and can belt out a song like nobody's business. Her version of "Dream On" is amazing. Also, you NEED to hear her doing "Barbie Girl" by Aqua in the style of the Beach Boys. She imitates a Theremin with her voice. You need to hear it to understand. Haley and Morgan are two of my favorite singers. They both have that "certain something." Anything by either of them is definitely worth the listen. And let's not sleep on Ariana Savalas. Silky smooth voice and the daughter of Telly Savalas. "Who loves ya', baby!" Look him up. Very famous actor. Thanks for the reaction. Postmodern Jukebox can almost do no wrong. It's a deep rabbit hole but well worth the effort. Peace and stay safe
THAT is Morgan James. There are tons of videos of her on TH-cam and she's just sensational. Check out her cover of Peter Gabriel's 'Sledgehammer", her Post Modern Jukebox cover of "Dream On", her duet with Haley Reinhardt on "Dear Prudence", or anything else she's ever done. Phenomenal.
Morgan James. You've got to check out her Take Me To Church and her Dream On. You might enjoy Dear Prudence with Morgan and Haley. Now this is semi-unrelated because it's a different vocalist, but someone has to react to Aubrey Logan's work with PMJ, her Bad Blood, her Give It Away; she's insane.
I would like to amplify another offering from lower in the thread from Morgan James. Her 70's soul cover of Maroon 5's 'Maps' is out of this world. So much soul in that lovely, unassuming package. Follow that up with her EPIC cover of 'Dream On' and you'll see why we love her.
You mentioned how this song was "made for this arrangement", or words to that effect. I completely agree, and please check out the PMJ arrangement of My Heart Will Go On, it is WILD! So surprising, yet works perfectly.
You could check out some of the PMJ covers with Robyn Adele Anderson. She did many of the vocals for PMJ when it got started, in fact, probably more than any other vocalist, but now has her own channel. Good ones to try are "Gangsta's Paradise", "I Put a Spell on You", "Love", "Lullaby of Birdland", but there are many others.
"Seven Nation Army", Haley and PMJ, will just utterly blow you out the water. As the things she does with her amazing voice in that performance are just utterly amazing.
Green light on more PMJ! They have so much on their channel that it's very difficult to know what to view next. Any help from recommendations and reactions will be much appreciated. I second the request to check out Home Free's all-male rendition of this all-female song! The HF version is here: th-cam.com/video/BuyGVhQFLbs/w-d-xo.html
Good as music can be. Morgan and Haley doing Dear Prudence I was floating on that song. No Tech, no flash, no bang Just Voices and a Acoustical 6 String.
The singers are, in order of introduction, Haley, Morgan James, and Ariana Savalas. All three are marvelous vocalists. Ariana is the daughter of Telly Savalas (Kojak).
Morgan James I'm sure you've realized by now is amazing. Been following PMJ since like 2012 or so. Great group. They have a really good red stalks as well for more information background.
Comparing this to the original is apples and oranges! I saw this one years ago and loved it. I’ve been a fan of AI since Season 2, also. Love Casey, too!! (Season 7 was my favorite season of American Idol, as well as the winner, David Cook!) The band in PMJ is so cool!!
I too became familiar with Casey Abrams and Haley Reinhart from American Idol, but I continued to follow them after the show. New Sub. Love the reactions- I am sure you have already a list of other Haley songs. I would recommend checking out Daneliya Tuleshova covering Demi Lovato's Stone Cold on The Voice Kids. She was 10 years old- And then I always appreciate any reaction to Pink Floyd but they are really more about the music and lyrics than the vocals even though David Gilmour and Roger Waters have strong, distinct voices.
My favorite PMJ is Say My Name. It's so good. But honestly, you can't go wrong with any of their covers. PMJ's cover of Since You Been Gone is amazing too.
More PMJ would always be welcome, and this is great, but I hope you get to see the Home Free and the Straight No Chaser versions at some point - they are both such fun, in their own ways.
I see Casey Abrams and Haley in a lot of videos together here on TH-cam. I don't know if they are just friends or more but they are in a lot of videos together.
The second reaction of yours that I have watched, no pauses, excellent you've earned a sub here...fyi Morgan James is THE BEST check out her stuff man, you won't be sorry
This was the first PMJ that I saw and came across it quite accidentally. While listening to the first singer Haley Reinhart (whom I've heard of because of American Idol), I just couldn't take my eyes off the second singer, Morgan James. When Morgan stepped up and sang, "I'm bringing booooty back" my jaw dropped. Haley has that sexy little growl, which I love. But Morgan's power, range and clarity is amazing. As soon as the song was over I had to find more about her. I love Haley but 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 Morgan! If I may suggest, check these songs from Morgan out as well. Maps, Maroon 5 - I'll be honest here. I hadn't heard Maroon 5's Maps before I listened to Morgan's cover of it. IMO, Morgan does it so much better! @ Call My Name, Prince - Prince rarely gives permission to record his songs but within 5 minutes of hearing Morgan's cover, he said yes. @ Dream On, Aerosmith - The first two times I listened to this, I couldn't get Steven Tyler's voice out of my head. It wasn't until the third time that I could really appreciate Morgan's version. Now I love it. @ Ain't No Way, Aretha Franklin - Morgan holds a note for an amazing 24 seconds @ into the video. Frisson every time! @ And just for the fun of it, here's one that I recorded the first time I saw her in concert at The Dakota Jazz Club in Minneapolis, MN doing her title track Reckless Abandon. @ So yeah, I'm a Morgan fan. Big time.
Who's this? (face like "omg there's another girl like Haley....") That my friend, would be the amazing Morgan James, actually, all three ladies are amazing. I ADORE Haley, absolutely, she's the real deal, the complete package for me, but so are Morgan James and Ariana Savalas, they are all ridiculously talented. If you're curious about the blonde lady (Morgan) then you really need to check out her PMJ songs like Dream on, Maps, Take me to church and (on her own) Hallelujah, she will blow you away, just like Haley. Another lady from Postmodern Jukebox who deserves attention is the lady with who this all started, Robyn Adele Anderson, she did more playful songs you could say. For her i would suggest songs like Thrift shop, Blurred lines, We cant stop and Talk dirty (very funny Yiddish version) Casey ofc has great songs too, but for now i'll leave the focus on Morgan and Robyn (but make sure to check out Ariana, Casey and more of Haley as well!!!) Scott Bradley who is the guy behind the piano and all these songs and arrangements is a musical genius, Postmodern Jukebox is a collective of ridiculously talented people who deserve all the attention (and fame they got by now) they can get, this is real music with a twist, a wink of the eye. I'm new to your channel, but hey... if you love PMJ.. then you got yourself a new sub my man, because thats all the proof i need to know you got musical taste my friend. So.. i'll be checking out more of your videos and will see you in the next one :) (Edit* i forgot to add one, Haley with Puddles doing Mad World, that is going to puzzle and amaze you)
Though I'll still recommend that you listen to all the covers the four singers here have done with Postmodern Jukebox, I'd also recommend that you listen to Postmodern Jukebox's original cover of 'All About that Bass' featuring Kate Davis so you can tell us which one you prefer, I can't decide. Here's the link th-cam.com/video/iyTTX6Wlf1Y/w-d-xo.html
Here's Casey Abrams and Hannah Gill covering Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy." How many bands can work in a clarinet solo? th-cam.com/video/FyFwko9O2UE/w-d-xo.html This you'll love or your money back!
Ariana Savalas, burlesque artist, daughter of Telly Savalas, (yes, detective koyak)... Haley Reinhart being an absolute legend as usual, but this was Morgan James' show.. she stole it the second she belted out her first high note and never gave it back.
Haha - Still just the tip of the iceberg as far as Postmodern Jukebox goes! Maybe my favorite song transformation where you think "my god this song was always supposed to sound like that" is "My Heart Will Go On" as a 50's Jackie Wilson style pop tune: th-cam.com/video/oyiWQ3l66Nk/w-d-xo.html
Congrats on 2K! Means you're probably here to stay for a while. Here's your 2K reward, another PMJ standard for those of us who love them: Morgan James covering "Dream On" (Aerosmith): th-cam.com/video/Yq4KA0mUnC8/w-d-xo.html
Morgan and Haley are the top of the food chain. I almost feel bad for Ariana. In any other grouping she would be the best singer. But she is a third - an amazing third. No slam on her, Haley and Morgan are just that good. Check out Casey Abrams doing Umbrella. There i s so much more.
By far my favorite cover by postmodern jukebox is Haley Reinhart covering Creep by Radiohead I can listen to that all day. This song does not do Haley justice.
They were all very good in this, I will never understand why Haley Reinhart was not picked the winner on american idol. lol i hope that was the right show. The band is absolutly stunning.love big band sound anyways. I do not have to mention how saltery and sexy those girls were . Thanks that was fun
The blond is Morgan James. Check out her vesion of "Dream on", or "I really don't care".
Absolutely, check out literally anything Morgan James has done with PMJ. You can't go wrong.
Maps is a great song as well.
And Ariana Savalas is the daughter of the late actor Telly Savalas, who, among other things, starred in the old series "Kojak"
Morgan James is amazing
"Who's this?"
That, my young friend, is Morgan James. That tiny body holds the most powerful voice you could imagine. She's classically trained in opera and can belt out a song like nobody's business.
Her version of "Dream On" is amazing. Also, you NEED to hear her doing "Barbie Girl" by Aqua in the style of the Beach Boys. She imitates a Theremin with her voice. You need to hear it to understand.

Thanks for the reaction. Postmodern Jukebox can almost do no wrong. It's a deep rabbit hole but well worth the effort.
Peace and stay safe
Barbie Girl is awesome - Morgan is a force no matter what she sings
THAT is Morgan James. There are tons of videos of her on TH-cam and she's just sensational. Check out her cover of Peter Gabriel's 'Sledgehammer", her Post Modern Jukebox cover of "Dream On", her duet with Haley Reinhardt on "Dear Prudence", or anything else she's ever done. Phenomenal.
Amen to Dear Prudence and she covers the White Album which is phenomenal, just her and a mic.
Ariana Savalas (red dress) is Telly Savalas" daughter....
Morgan James. You've got to check out her Take Me To Church and her Dream On. You might enjoy Dear Prudence with Morgan and Haley.
Now this is semi-unrelated because it's a different vocalist, but someone has to react to Aubrey Logan's work with PMJ, her Bad Blood, her Give It Away; she's insane.
Morgan's version of "Take Me To Church" is one of my absolute favorites that PMJ did.
MUST react to PMJ Morgan James singing "Maps" (Maroon 5) as a Motown cover
I second this. You will not be disappointed.
I would like to amplify another offering from lower in the thread from Morgan James. Her 70's soul cover of Maroon 5's 'Maps' is out of this world. So much soul in that lovely, unassuming package. Follow that up with her EPIC cover of 'Dream On' and you'll see why we love her.
Check out Home Free covering this song... it's hilarious!
It really is. Their video is a spoof of the original video.
PMJ is the cat's meow.😉😊😂Scott collabs with some amazing talent.
You mentioned how this song was "made for this arrangement", or words to that effect. I completely agree, and please check out the PMJ arrangement of My Heart Will Go On, it is WILD! So surprising, yet works perfectly.
The 3 part harmony is where you slide off your chair and just become a puddle on the floor. Great reaction.
Love it!
Every time I watch a reaction to this song I feel the need to put on a suit and mix up some martinis
You could check out some of the PMJ covers with Robyn Adele Anderson. She did many of the vocals for PMJ when it got started, in fact, probably more than any other vocalist, but now has her own channel. Good ones to try are "Gangsta's Paradise", "I Put a Spell on You", "Love", "Lullaby of Birdland", but there are many others.
Scott Bradlee is a treasure and a genius - the way he builds an arrangement around the artists with whom he's collaborating is mind-blowing.
Lovely reaction, thanks for sharing! Casey is a bundle of joy, 'Stacy's mum' with Casey and PMJ will make you smile :)
PMJ is such a great rabbit hole to plunge into! Ditto on checking out Morgan James on any number of things.
Look for Morgan James and Haley Reinhart doing Dear Prudence on Morgan’s couch 🥰
This!
All day every day.
This is fabulous! Thank you for this reaction!
I see you, brother. Feelin' them tunes. Keep keeping on.
Two of the BEST PMJ vocalists on the same video (Haley + Morgan). And the last singer is Kojak's offspring ;)
Seductive and classy
"Seven Nation Army", Haley and PMJ, will just utterly blow you out the water. As the things she does with her amazing voice in that performance are just utterly amazing.
He's got a video here on TH-cam called Simple Life, and it's about 8 years old, but it's a damn good song!!!
Casey Abrams was from American Idol the same season as Haley. Morgan has appeared on Broadway.
Green light on more PMJ! They have so much on their channel that it's very difficult to know what to view next. Any help from recommendations and reactions will be much appreciated. I second the request to check out Home Free's all-male rendition of this all-female song! The HF version is here: th-cam.com/video/BuyGVhQFLbs/w-d-xo.html
They crushed it, great vocals!
Good as music can be. Morgan and Haley doing Dear Prudence I was floating on that song. No Tech, no flash, no bang Just Voices and a Acoustical 6 String.
Very, very Andrews Sisters! And that is totally a compliment.
The singers are, in order of introduction, Haley, Morgan James, and Ariana Savalas. All three are marvelous vocalists. Ariana is the daughter of Telly Savalas (Kojak).
Completely agree, much better than the original. This and the Creep video were shot while they were on tour in Europe. They are spectacular.
Since you like this, check out the live versions of these three ladies doing "Burn" on their tour.
This was the first PMJ song I ever heard, and I was hooked. Yes, check out Casey's stuff with them! I love his version of "Stacy's Mom".
Morgan James I'm sure you've realized by now is amazing. Been following PMJ since like 2012 or so. Great group. They have a really good red stalks as well for more information background.
Comparing this to the original is apples and oranges! I saw this one years ago and loved it. I’ve been a fan of AI since Season 2, also. Love Casey, too!! (Season 7 was my favorite season of American Idol, as well as the winner, David Cook!) The band in PMJ is so cool!!

Casey & PMJ a cover or Umbrella...stellar!
I see Casey Abrams and Haley in a lot of videos together here on TH-cam. I don't know if they are just friends or more but they are in a lot of videos together.
Ariana Savalas is the grand daughter of the actor Telly Savalas. He was huge in the 70s on a cop drama called Kojak among other films etc
No, Ariana is Telly's DAUGHTER.
"I like this so much more than the original" - Standard comment for almost every PMJ cover, ever.
The second reaction of yours that I have watched, no pauses, excellent you've earned a sub here...fyi Morgan James is THE BEST check out her stuff man, you won't be sorry

Another recommendation for PMJ with Morgan James: Dream On. Also, Avi did a version of this song that's great too!
I too am a great fan of PMJ and Morgan James so try and watch their Dream On cover just super!
Should check Morgan James and Haley doing Dear Prudence sitting on a couch with accoustic guitar
Morgan and her hubbie are doing a great collection of Quarantine song it is my daily play.... post modern is unique in a world of hive mind clones
Though I'll still recommend that you listen to all the covers the four singers here have done with Postmodern Jukebox, I'd also recommend that you listen to Postmodern Jukebox's original cover of 'All About that Bass' featuring Kate Davis so you can tell us which one you prefer, I can't decide.

The third singer is Telly Savalas's daughter. He was the bald actor!
If you like American Idol, check out Melinda Doolittle with Postmodern Jukebox doing, Don't Stop Me Now.
The woman in red is Ariana Savalas. The daughter of Telly Savalas.
Check out the Postmodern Jukebox of Purple Rain. You will love it!

You should react to home free’s cover of sold by John Michael Montgomery
I’d love to see you react to Voice plays daddy sang bass cover
Haley and Morgan dona fantastic version of The Beatles' Dear Prudence.
Morgan and Haley are the top of the food chain. I almost feel bad for Ariana. In any other grouping she would be the best singer. But she is a third - an amazing third. No slam on her, Haley and Morgan are just that good.
Check out Casey Abrams doing Umbrella. There i s so much more.
By far my favorite cover by postmodern jukebox is Haley Reinhart covering Creep by Radiohead I can listen to that all day. This song does not do Haley justice.
If you're taking PMJ requests, please react to them featuring LaVance Colley on CeeLo Green's Forget You.
Check out Home Free when they do their version of this. You will laugh your a** off
They were all very good in this, I will never understand why Haley Reinhart was not picked the winner on american idol. lol i hope that was the right show. The band is absolutly stunning.love big band sound anyways. I do not have to mention how saltery and sexy those girls were . Thanks that was fun
