      You guys should consider shooting on real film and then converting it to digital.
      It looks way too much like you were filmed individually in front of a green screen and then spliced together.

      Thank you so much for the content you make!! Love ya'll!

    The thing I love about PMJ covers is they capture the essence of the alternative style first and foremost in the arrangement. It’s not just about the vocal styling and choosing different instruments.

  • @rome8180
    @rome8180 ปีที่แล้ว +83

    The accuracy and agility of the verse vocals was insane. That was not an easy melody in the verse. It's all over the place and extremely chromatic. It's also very fast. And yet I could always tell exactly what note she was singing.

  • @torontomame
    @torontomame ปีที่แล้ว +144
