One of the running gags with Postmodern Jukebox, is the fact the drummer is almost always hidden. This song is amazing, I actually prefer this to the original. Welcome to the PMJ rabbit hole. Scott Bradley the guy on the piano does the arrangements. You should check out there cover of Seven Nation Army also ft. Haley. IMO you cant go wrong with PMJ.
It never was a deliberate gag. It's that Scott never had the room to show the drummer in most of the videos. As he always did them in his living room and a lot of them in the early days were in a small apartment living room. Today, he lives in a mansion and has plenty of room, which is why the drummer is always shown these days .
If you liked the horns in this again her Seven Nation Army cover is outstanding with Haley but the horns are unbelievable! A can’t miss and a must watch!!!
So the story, according to Scott Bradley, if I remember correctly, is that this arrangement was originally made for another singer but Haley liked it so much that she played around with it by herself at home. Then while on tour they had a day without stage performances where they recorded a bunch of these videos. At the end of the session Scott asks Haley if she wants to have a go at this song. After the touring and recording she felt a bit worn out and hesitated. Scott said they should at least do one take. And they did just one take. This one. That's all she needed! And the rest is history, closing in on 120 Million views (not even counting EVERY reaction channel having looked at it)!😁
So glad that you saw this one... this is a favorite.. I Love Haley Reinhart.. she does a duet with Morgan James.. "Dear Prudence".. those two voices together.. wow.. just woww.. Hope you all have a great holiday.. Stay safe!
Hayley's parents had a band as well. She's been singing with them since she was a kid. There's a video with just Hayley and her dad playing guitar. So Hayley is a seasoned pro, there's nothing about her being an amateur.
I just love this version of Creep. This lady has such a beautiful voice that keeps you mesmerized. Her range is just outstanding! Just to let you know Pau from The Warning also did this song with just a Piano and it's also very very good.
Haley is the bombdiggety. Yes, Scott is playing trills on the piano. I love what he plays after she sings, “ You float like a feather…” it sounds like a feather floating. All shot live by one camera. Most of the time the drums are located behind the singer. She could be a jazz singer from the 30s to the 50s. Try Seven Nation Army by her and PMJ.
"Creep" was one of 3 songs recorded on PMJ's day off in Zurich, Switzerland on their 2015 European Tour. Haley had only joined the tour a week earlier, it was her first professional gig after American Idol. WHEN you react to one of the other vids recorded that day, "All About That Bass" w/ Haley, Morgan James & Ariana Savalas (Telly "Kojak" Savalas' daughter), near the end of that video, you will see the drummer peek out and wave from behind Haley. Coincidentally, both those songs, "Creep" & "All About That Bass" was the first time Scott Bradlee, PMJ creator, re-recorded a cover he'd already done, the correct decision since those songs are now #'s one and two most viewed videos on their channel.
You cannot go wrong following more of Haley Reinhart or postmodern jukebox. They bring vintage style back en vogue and at their best, make you think you just heard the original instead of the cover. So many good options. 7 nation army Black hole sun Don't speak All About the bass Dream on Sweet child of mine
This Version of creep is pretty much my favorite version of the song with Pau from the Warning's version a close second. Pau's is perhaps even more impressive because she learned the song in just a few hours for an Instagram challenge. Other good PMJ covers: Morgan James's version of Take me to Church, Maps (that one's great and an early PMJ tune), Who wants to live forever. Also I'd recommend trying the band's Pomplamoose, specifically their mashup of Seven Nation Army and Sweet Dreams, and Scary Pockets version of Fix You sung by Monica Martin, and Wild World sung by Rett Madison. Great twists on those songs.
2:07 "Is there a drummer back there playing?". As I've come to understand, it's kind of a running gag. In almost all PMJ videos, you can hear, but rarely ever see the drummer.
The "hidden drummer" is a long-running gag with PMJ videos, almost aways obstructed. Occasionally he will bend his body to one side or the otther and wave 😀
as well, Pau from the Warning did this cover 3 yrs ago, not produced, just in her phone & on the piano, but is an excellent listen for non- produced vocals 😋
This is my favorite "Creep" -- by far, hands down, no joke! It reminds me of the slippery sexy jazz of the posh clubs in the 40s. Haley's vocal control is amazing. I understand that she was sick that day -- wow. Fantastic reaction!
My favorite part of reactions to this is the look on the reactor's faces when she does the key change at the end without any backup for a few beats. It's like watching people think a pitcher is about to give up his no-hitter, then realize it was planned.
Mind blown? Haley came in 3rd in her season of American Idol. She is an amazing vocalist who is extra special in jazz. Haley, Morgan James, and someone else do All About That Bass with PMJ. Haley’s American Idol buddy, Casey Abrams, sometimes pops in on standup bass and occasional vocals. Both of them love jazz and scatting. I’m so glad you did this one!
I've said it ever since I saw this video. Haley Reinhart is JESSICA Rabbit, reincarnated. A her other PMJ collabs only show it MORE, with the wardrobes she wears in those videos. I'm glad you got to see and hear her. And thanks for sharing this with us.
Yes, there is a drummer. PMJ used to like to hide him in their early videos. Her does, however make a short appearance in their "All About That Bass" cover, which features Haley, Morgan James and Arianna Savales (Telly's baby girl).
I remember watching Haley Reinhart on "American Idol" back in 2011 (she placed 3rd). Loved her sultry voice & it really suits her doing this old style of singing with Postmodern Jukebox. This is a great cover of "Creep".
Had American Idol had "one vote per contestant", as opposed to "almost unlimited power voting", Haley would have won American Idol in a landslide, as opposed to being ripped off as she was.
I knew this was going to blow you both away! More Post Modern Jukebox any day, because all the singers Scott Bradley arranges for are amazing. There’s a version of “All About That Bass” with Haley, Morgan James, and another singer (as well as bass shenanigans!) that is so much fun! Side note, VoicePlay has a very cool version of “Creep” too! ❤️🎶
Haley is my favorite female artist. Need to watch "Don't Speak", No Doubt cover, "Black Hole Sun", and "Seven Nation Army", by the white stripes. Also this video was taken on the first take, and Haley was sick. This was done during their European Tour.
Check out PMJ and Haley doing Seven Nation Army. It’s always tough for me decide which I like better between these two covers. Haley definitely uses all her vocal tools in SNA. And so theatrical and fun to watch. Jessica Rabbit in the flesh
They started the videos in Scott’s tiny apt so the drummer was pretty well hidden behind the vocalist and it became a humorous quirk in a lot of their later vids
I met Haley a number of years ago and actually hung out with her and Casey Abrams for a bit of an afternoon. She's super chill, quik to smile and always knocks you out when she takes the stage. Good people
@@musikbyjh You may really want to check out her duet with Jeff Goldblum (yes, the actor). He's a great pianist and the song choice is swingin'! Super fun vid of My Baby Just Cares For Me
Postmodern Jukebox is a fun rabbit hole, and a DEEP rabbit hole. There's quite a few more songs on which they collaborate with Haley, but she's far from the only singer featured by PMJ. And Haley herself is a pretty deep rabbit hole, as she's done quite a few things on her own or as part of other groups. She does a piece with Jeff Goldblum, for example.
I love Haley and PMJ, this was a ‘one take” performance! They were my favorite band until I found The Warning, now they are just behind! Looking forward to the live on the 30th!!!😊⚡️
Have to say, love your new backdrop...Thrilled you have PMJ w/Haley in your wheelhouse now. PMJ has some great musicians and Scott does fabulous arrangements. Lots of technical stuff for Jeremy to analysis for us. Love it!!
One of my all-time favorite covers! Love PMJ / Scott Bradlee / Haley so much ❤ You will definitely dig their cover of Seven Nation Army - this one is with Haley too 😊
Hayley has her own band. But PMJ calls her up for certain songs. The piano player rearranges the songs. They take popular songs and turn them into a jazzy, blues sound. I think you would like 7 NATION ARMY, talking about sassy jazzy and sexy. She's very playful in that song.
I really like your reaction - I have watched a few reactions and most of them react to Hayley (who is of course incredible and I am in love with her voice & showmanship).. but the thing I love about your reaction is you also react to the incredible arrangement and musicians. As great as Hayley is, she wouldn’t be able to shine as brightly without such a perfect arrangement (by the pianist.. he’s incredible and so intelligent!) and I too am in love with the brass.. the arrangement of that well known ba da da badada dum gives it that familiarity and vintage feel, and the brass hit it perfectly every time.. and the drums and double bass are exquisite too.. I really love that you react to everything, from the engineering perspective. This is my favourite reaction video. Thank you for taking such a thorough and layered look at it all!
Thanks so much for the nice comment!! For me, vocals tend to take a back seat to the music --- but, I'm a guitarist and audio guy, so I'm biased! Look forward to seeing you back soon! ✌🏽
Haley shows her royalty here. She's a princess to Ella Fitzgerald the queen. There's nothing to compare to those women's voices and incredible understanding of the music they made.
I appreciate it that you paid attention to the music. So often people are blown away by the vocals, and there is nothing wrong with that. I mean c' mon the are phenomenal. But the arrangements that Scott Bradlee comes up with are such perfection.
I'm happy to finally get to enjoy you enjoying this. Hiding the drummer behind the singer was a PMJ running gag for a while. This one reminds me of "Mother's", a bar in Peter Gunn where his girl friend sang. PMJ has lots of Haley. You will like them all. I particularly like "Habits".
Not really a gag. As Scott initially did these music videos of his apartment living room and apartment living rooms are not very big. So a lot of the time, the drummer was behind the singers and not seen. I mean, why would you play drums for Scott to deliberately not be seen? Anyway, now that Haley Reinhart made Scott a millionaire, he lives in a mansion today with plenty of room to expose the drummer.
Haley Reinhart is the premier best vocalist to have ever performed with PMJ. As her music video view counts blow everyone else's view counts away. As Haley was the one music artist that put PMJ on the map. As prior to Haley's arrival on the scene, all PMJ ever played were cheap dives and tiny venues. Then after Haley arrived and quickly recorded several music videos with PMJ that all went viral, all of a sudden PMJ was filling arenas and coliseums. As everyone wanted to see and listen to Haley Reinhart. Other must react to music videos of Haley with PMJ are "Seven Nation Army", "Don't Speak", "Oops, I Did It Again" (great vocal control), "Habits", and "All About That Bass".
Gonna point out the obvious, you should check out Pau from The Warning doing this song on the home piano. She did it as an online fan challenge. She took a few hours to learn recorded and posted it.
Haley is just stunning - in every sense of the word! PMJ's cover of 'Don't Speak' by No Doubt is another great one, as is their version of 'Seven Nation Army' and 'All About That Bass' (this last featuring Haley, Morgan James, Ariana Savalas as well as Casey Abrams!). The version of the Beatles' 'Dear Prudence', with Haley and Morgan on a sofa, accompanied by Morgan's husband on guitar is also very special! 😊
welcome to the wonderful world of haley reinhart. she maybe the best vocalist and performer of our time (certainly the most underrated). i think what is so phenomenal about haley is not just her amazing silk to sandpaper voice but also her character and soul that she puts into the performances. postmodern jukebox (aka pmj) takes current popular songs and completely re-imagines them vintage (1920s to 1960s) in the music itself and style of the performances that actually take you back in time. they have a variety of good vocals but haley with pmj is exceptional. all the other haley/pmj collabs are great but her other top ones are : "all about the bass", "seven nations army", and "don't speak". haley's solo career is also superb. she has 4 LPs including: "listen up", "better", "what's that sound" and "lo-fi soul" and a recent EP "off the ground" for which she is currently on tour. her lack of mass popularity and industry recognition is primarily due to her resistance to major labels in order to maintain creative control of her music. this significantly limits exposure to tv, radio, etc. her biggest hit is "can't help falling in love with you" that was created and promoted for an Extra Gum for a commercial. it now has well over 425m views and reached double platinum status. it is stunning and frequently described as what love sounds like here: (th-cam.com/video/_uNpEbt7w_o/w-d-xo.html ) 😎
I literally searched your channel for this no more than 2 hours ago, after watching a video of yours that youtube offered up to me. Saw you had not done it and after coming back I found youtube telling me you had done it. Nice reaction, you had the obvious feeling for Haley's version with PMJ that most others have when hearing it.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching y’all get into this one! I feel you, I just did this one over the weekend and I couldn’t help but be completely enraptured by her performance. Thanks for the smile today!😊
Haley is an amazing vocalist/entertainer, she has a huge vocal toolkit. I Love how SHE led the band into the key change near the end. She has several with PMJ. May be the most underrated on the planet. She has a great one with Jeff Goldblum and his band, "My Baby Don't Care
Great reaction! I know you liked Morgan James and PMJ. Watch All About That Bass with PMJ featuring Haley, Morgan and Ariana Savalas. I've seen Haley and Morgan live and they each had a fantastic show.
Now ya gotta do Haley/PMJ 7 nation Army! Ella Fitzgerald/Billie Holliday/Jessica Rabbit-all in 1 5'2" package. Truly a 30s style jazz version. You'll love it!
It's not really a running gag that you can't see the drummer. In the beginning, PMJ recorded in the living room of Scott Bradlee's NYC apartment, which as you might expect was small. The drummer was placed in the back due to space limitations. Bradlee relocated to Los Angeles and continued recording in his apartment. This video was recorded on a day off during PMJ's first European tour not long after his relocation. It is one of the three videos they made that day. It was a rented studio, so they probably went with the setup/staging they knew. Bradlee bought a home in Los Angeles, which led to some recordings where the drummer was more visible. At some point he relocated to a farm in Iowa or Nebraska or somewhere. I'm not sure where they record now, but post-COVID they no longer post a video a week. Scott Bradlee is in the most recent videos, so I suspect he travels to the west coast to record. In the newer recordings the drummer is clearly visible.
You might notice on all pmj videos instruments are all acoustic. In essence you could bring this ensemble onto any street corner and they'd sound every bit as good. That kind of talent is a rare and special thing,
It’s just basically a one camera unaltered vid of their touring stage show which must be seen to be believed, there actually is talent in the live music scene 👍
I understand that Haley did this on her first take and requested another because she had been performing a lot and felt her voice may have been a bit rough. But Scott said, "We're good".
First off keep the Ninja front and center. She balances you out very well. I enjoy the two of you together. PMJ has many more that you will like as much as this one. Morgan James - Dream on - Just wow All About that Bass - Haley, Morgan and Ariana WOW x 1000 Mad World - Puddles Pity Party and Haley - very fun There are many more but these are the best.
Often you can’t see the drummer in Postmodern Jukebox videos. 😂 PMJ just announced their early 2024 dates. It’s a bit like a variety show, and Haley is not on the tour, but if you appreciate the music, it good.
Effie Passero was performing “Creep” in their last tour in Europe, she does her interpretation of Scott’s composition and soars up and beyond, Scott’s arrangement showcases his guest vocalist talents in their own way. Try not to get stuck on just Haley and Morgan as PMJ has a ton of outstanding “under the radar” vocalist on their TH-cam channel, Miche, Hannah, Gunhild, Cortnie, Alison, Effie and the list goes on......
This rendition depicts 40’s and 50’s style of jazz, with some elements of rock and blues. Haley is a master vocalist when it comes to these genres. And yes, it was a running gag with PMJ to hide the drummer in many of their videos. Seven Nation Army and Don’t Speak are also great PMJ/Haley Reinhart collaborations.
No it wasn't a gag, As Scott recorded the early videos before Haley made him a millionaire in his apartment living room and there simply was not enough room to show the drummer who usually was staged behind the singers. Later, once Scott became rich thanks to Haley and bought his mansion, he then had enough room in his recording studio to always show the drummer.
@@Harry-ie3nt except that both Creep and All About That Bass were recorded in a studio in Zurich while on a European tour. And the drummer is hidden. And I could find a few more videos that weren’t recorded in his apartment, where the drummer is hidden.
@@JeffTokayer Did you notice how tiny the studios were. It wasn't a gag, it was a necessity. I mean, who would agree to play drums and be hidden at the same time if it weren't absolutely necessary. Not many people.
I love most PMJ’s stuff especially with Haley but if you want her best, you have to listen to her song “Don’t know how to love you”!!!!! Loved y’all’s reaction and insight to the industry. All of my kids are in some way associated with music so I can tell when someone is in the industry. Y’all have my subscription. Thanks.
If you want to hear horns, you ought to hear Haley singing Seven Nation Army with PMJ. They do it in the style of a New Orleans funeral dirge and it's absolutely unique and unexpected. Please check it out.
It's a running joke in PMJ to hide the drummer. They don't always hide him, but many times they do. Also, check out PMJ with Haley Reinhart singing Seven Nation Army, All About That Bass, Black Hole Sun (I may be remembering this one wrong), and Don't Speak. Have fun going down this rabbit hole!
No its not. In the early days, Scott recorded his videos in his small apartment living room. Thus, he didn't have enough space to show the drummer.most of the time. Today, after Haley transformed Scott into a millionaire, Scott lives in a mansion with his own recording studio.
This was my favorite cover of "Creep" for a long time,until Pau from The Warning did her cover - totally knocks this off that spot - only because it's just Pau and a piano,Haley is great,no doubt but she's got a full band. You guys need to react to Paus version,and watch it right through until the very end - it's a typical Pau moment.
I just listened to Pau's version and it sucks big time next to Haley's version and it also for three years doesn't have many TH-cam listens. Unlike Haley's which is approximately 120 million views.
@@robhaunui3343 She is just not close to being in Haley Reinhart's league. I mean, three years already and still has not cracked at least a million views yet .Next to Haley's cover, that's sucks.
@@Harry-ie3nt man do you have things to learn.I love Haley,great voice and all,but that video of Paus was meant as an Instagram challenge for fans of The Warning (her and her sisters band),to choose 1 song for her to learn and cover,wasn't meant as a YT upload (but it's where most everything ends up on),and "Creep" won. She learnt it in a few hours and posted what you see - not a choreographed video as Haley and the PMJ version was. They're both great versions but I prefer Paus because of the rawness of it. She's not out there trying to get views,her focus and priority is The Warning and for their success. Not bad where English is their second language,and the fact she is one of the finest (if not the finest) singing drummers out there. She's also handy on the keyboards,and her songwriting skills are well beyond her 21 years. Now,I doubt very much if any of what I just told you will interest you,as your mind is clearly biased and that's all good,so I'm gonna leave it here.

They hide the drummer most of the time as a running gag. Haley is an amazing singer and performer and has superstar talent but she rerfuses to play the industry's games so she is relegated to small venues, which apparently suits her fine. She grew up with parents that had a working rock band. Don't Speak or Seven Nation Army would be great to react to along with many others. Those two and this one show her range and versitility. She's one of the very best female vocalist we have.. She'll blow your socks off folks.
One of the running gags with Postmodern Jukebox, is the fact the drummer is almost always hidden.
This song is amazing, I actually prefer this to the original.
Welcome to the PMJ rabbit hole. Scott Bradley the guy on the piano does the arrangements.
You should check out there cover of Seven Nation Army also ft. Haley.
IMO you cant go wrong with PMJ.
It never was a deliberate gag. It's that Scott never had the room to show the drummer in most of the videos. As he always did them in his living room and a lot of them in the early days were in a small apartment living room. Today, he lives in a mansion and has plenty of room, which is why the drummer is always shown these days .
Their: It's All About That Base, is better than the original.
If you liked the horns in this again her Seven Nation Army cover is outstanding with Haley but the horns are unbelievable! A can’t miss and a must watch!!!
Absolutely!!
Their cover of No Doubt Don’t Speak is an absolute must.
So the story, according to Scott Bradley, if I remember correctly, is that this arrangement was originally made for another singer but Haley liked it so much that she played around with it by herself at home. Then while on tour they had a day without stage performances where they recorded a bunch of these videos. At the end of the session Scott asks Haley if she wants to have a go at this song.

So glad that you saw this one... this is a favorite.. I Love Haley Reinhart.. she does a duet with Morgan James.. "Dear Prudence".. those two voices together.. wow.. just woww.. Hope you all have a great holiday.. Stay safe!
Yes, you need to review Dear Prudence with Haley + Morgan singing, and Morgan's husband, Doug on guitar recording "Dear Prudence".
Hayley's parents had a band as well. She's been singing with them since she was a kid. There's a video with just Hayley and her dad playing guitar. So Hayley is a seasoned pro, there's nothing about her being an amateur.
I just love this version of Creep. This lady has such a beautiful voice that keeps you mesmerized. Her range is just outstanding! Just to let you know Pau from The Warning also did this song with just a Piano and it's also very very good.
Haley is the bombdiggety. Yes, Scott is playing trills on the piano. I love what he plays after she sings, “ You float like a feather…” it sounds like a feather floating. All shot live by one camera. Most of the time the drums are located behind the singer. She could be a jazz singer from the 30s to the 50s. Try Seven Nation Army by her and PMJ.
The grit and range of her voice gives me chills the entire way through... Beautiful..
"Creep" was one of 3 songs recorded on PMJ's day off in Zurich, Switzerland on their 2015 European Tour. Haley had only joined the tour a week earlier, it was her first professional gig after American Idol.

They bring vintage style back en vogue and at their best, make you think you just heard the original instead of the cover.
So many good options.

This Version of creep is pretty much my favorite version of the song with Pau from the Warning's version a close second.

It wasn't that she was sick, it was that she was pretty much exhausted from an extensive day of performing already.
And done in one take!
Also, Hailey did "Don't Speak" with PMJ. Another great one!
This is hands down, one of my favorite Modern Jukebox songs. It still gets stuck in my head from time to time. ❤❤❤ SO good!
My favorite part of reactions to this is the look on the reactor's faces when she does the key change at the end without any backup for a few beats.
It's like watching people think a pitcher is about to give up his no-hitter, then realize it was planned.
That effortless key change is just phenomenal.
You absolutely want to do PMJs "All about the bass". 3 great singers and a stand-up Bass Solo. How can you miss
Mind blown? Haley came in 3rd in her season of American Idol. She is an amazing vocalist who is extra special in jazz. Haley, Morgan James, and someone else do All About That Bass with PMJ. Haley’s American Idol buddy, Casey Abrams, sometimes pops in on standup bass and occasional vocals. Both of them love jazz and scatting. I’m so glad you did this one!

Haley is my favorite female singer...hands down. Check out "Seven Nation Army". PMJ again. Amazing!!
Hayley has her own band. But PMJ calls her up for certain songs. The piano player rearranges the songs. They take popular songs and turn them into a jazzy, blues sound. I think you would like 7 NATION ARMY, talking about sassy jazzy and sexy. She's very playful in that song.
The GREATEST cover EVER done to date, prove me wrong!!!
I really like your reaction - I have watched a few reactions and most of them react to Hayley (who is of course incredible and I am in love with her voice & showmanship).. but the thing I love about your reaction is you also react to the incredible arrangement and musicians. As great as Hayley is, she wouldn’t be able to shine as brightly without such a perfect arrangement (by the pianist.. he’s incredible and so intelligent!) and I too am in love with the brass.. the arrangement of that well known ba da da badada dum gives it that familiarity and vintage feel, and the brass hit it perfectly every time.. and the drums and double bass are exquisite too.. I really love that you react to everything, from the engineering perspective.
This is my favourite reaction video. Thank you for taking such a thorough and layered look at it all!
Thanks so much for the nice comment!! For me, vocals tend to take a back seat to the music --- but, I'm a guitarist and audio guy, so I'm biased! Look forward to seeing you back soon! ✌🏽
Haley shows her royalty here. She's a princess to Ella Fitzgerald the queen. There's nothing to compare to those women's voices and incredible understanding of the music they made.
I appreciate it that you paid attention to the music. So often people are blown away by the vocals, and there is nothing wrong with that. I mean c' mon the are phenomenal. But the arrangements that Scott Bradlee comes up with are such perfection.
I'm happy to finally get to enjoy you enjoying this.
Hiding the drummer behind the singer was a PMJ running gag for a while.
This one reminds me of "Mother's", a bar in Peter Gunn where his girl friend sang.
PMJ has lots of Haley. You will like them all. I particularly like "Habits".
Not really a gag. As Scott initially did these music videos of his apartment living room and apartment living rooms are not very big. So a lot of the time, the drummer was behind the singers and not seen. I mean, why would you play drums for Scott to deliberately not be seen?
Anyway, now that Haley Reinhart made Scott a millionaire, he lives in a mansion today with plenty of room to expose the drummer.
Watch her and Morgan James singing The Beatles "Dear Prudence" sitting on a couch with Morgan's husband playing jazz acoustic guitar to accompany...
Haley Reinhart is the premier best vocalist to have ever performed with PMJ. As her music video view counts blow everyone else's view counts away. As Haley was the one music artist that put PMJ on the map.
As prior to Haley's arrival on the scene, all PMJ ever played were cheap dives and tiny venues. Then after Haley arrived and quickly recorded several music videos with PMJ that all went viral, all of a sudden PMJ was filling arenas and coliseums. As everyone wanted to see and listen to Haley Reinhart.
Other must react to music videos of Haley with PMJ are "Seven Nation Army", "Don't Speak",
"Oops, I Did It Again" (great vocal control), "Habits", and "All About That Bass".
Her cover of Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes is a must watch!!!!
Gonna point out the obvious, you should check out Pau from The Warning doing this song on the home piano. She did it as an online fan challenge. She took a few hours to learn recorded and posted it.
Definitely will check you. You KNOW we love Pau!! ❤️🥷
That’s nuts. Wonderful. Talent
Haley is just stunning - in every sense of the word! PMJ's cover of 'Don't Speak' by No Doubt is another great one, as is their version of 'Seven Nation Army' and 'All About That Bass' (this last featuring Haley, Morgan James, Ariana Savalas as well as Casey Abrams!). The version of the Beatles' 'Dear Prudence', with Haley and Morgan on a sofa, accompanied by Morgan's husband on guitar is also very special! 😊
Haley is amazing. All her PMJ covers are fire.
welcome to the wonderful world of haley reinhart. she maybe the best vocalist and performer of our time (certainly the most underrated). i think what is so phenomenal about haley is not just her amazing silk to sandpaper voice but also her character and soul that she puts into the performances. postmodern jukebox (aka pmj) takes current popular songs and completely re-imagines them vintage (1920s to 1960s) in the music itself and style of the performances that actually take you back in time. they have a variety of good vocals but haley with pmj is exceptional. all the other haley/pmj collabs are great but her other top ones are : "all about the bass", "seven nations army", and "don't speak".
haley's solo career is also superb. she has 4 LPs including: "listen up", "better", "what's that sound" and "lo-fi soul" and a recent EP "off the ground" for which she is currently on tour. her lack of mass popularity and industry recognition is primarily due to her resistance to major labels in order to maintain creative control of her music. this significantly limits exposure to tv, radio, etc. her biggest hit is "can't help falling in love with you" that was created and promoted for an Extra Gum for a commercial. it now has well over 425m views and reached double platinum status. it is stunning and frequently described as what love sounds like here: (th-cam.com/video/_uNpEbt7w_o/w-d-xo.html ) 😎
Thanks so much for the info!!
I literally searched your channel for this no more than 2 hours ago, after watching a video of yours that youtube offered up to me. Saw you had not done it and after coming back I found youtube telling me you had done it. Nice reaction, you had the obvious feeling for Haley's version with PMJ that most others have when hearing it.
Welcome back! Thanks and sorry it was so cumbersome!!
PMJ All about the bass, has BOTH Morgan James & Hailey Reinhart!~
Thoroughly enjoyed watching y’all get into this one! I feel you, I just did this one over the weekend and I couldn’t help but be completely enraptured by her performance. Thanks for the smile today!😊
Haley is an amazing vocalist/entertainer, she has a huge vocal toolkit. I Love how SHE led the band into the key change near the end. She has several with PMJ. May be the most underrated on the planet. She has a great one with Jeff Goldblum and his band, "My Baby Don't Care
When Haley sings, she makes me eternally happy I’m a male of my species.
Great reaction! I know you liked Morgan James and PMJ. Watch All About That Bass with PMJ featuring Haley, Morgan and Ariana Savalas.
I've seen Haley and Morgan live and they each had a fantastic show.
Now ya gotta do Haley/PMJ 7 nation Army! Ella Fitzgerald/Billie Holliday/Jessica Rabbit-all in 1 5'2" package. Truly a 30s style jazz version. You'll love it!
It's not really a running gag that you can't see the drummer. In the beginning, PMJ recorded in the living room of Scott Bradlee's NYC apartment, which as you might expect was small. The drummer was placed in the back due to space limitations. Bradlee relocated to Los Angeles and continued recording in his apartment. This video was recorded on a day off during PMJ's first European tour not long after his relocation. It is one of the three videos they made that day. It was a rented studio, so they probably went with the setup/staging they knew.
Bradlee bought a home in Los Angeles, which led to some recordings where the drummer was more visible. At some point he relocated to a farm in Iowa or Nebraska or somewhere. I'm not sure where they record now, but post-COVID they no longer post a video a week. Scott Bradlee is in the most recent videos, so I suspect he travels to the west coast to record. In the newer recordings the drummer is clearly visible.
Since Jeremy mentioned he loves an upright bass, you should check out PMJ's cover of all about the bass with Haley & Morgan James
the piano!!!
You might notice on all pmj videos instruments are all acoustic. In essence you could bring this ensemble onto any street corner and they'd sound every bit as good. That kind of talent is a rare and special thing,
It’s just basically a one camera unaltered vid of their touring stage show which must be seen to be believed, there actually is talent in the live music scene 👍
HOLY CRAP😮😮😮❤❤❤
Check out her "Seven Nation Army.....FANTASTIC !!!!!
I understand that Haley did this on her first take and requested another because she had been performing a lot and felt her voice may have been a bit rough. But Scott said, "We're good".
If you've seen the Extra Gum commercial where the guy proposes using the gum rapper, that's Haley singing.
First off keep the Ninja front and center. She balances you out very well. I enjoy the two of you together.
PMJ has many more that you will like as much as this one.
Morgan James - Dream on - Just wow
All About that Bass - Haley, Morgan and Ariana WOW x 1000
Mad World - Puddles Pity Party and Haley - very fun
There are many more but these are the best.
Thank you so much for the recommendations!! And yeah, Ninja's a keeper...I won't let her escape!! ✌🏽
Haley was on American idol
PMJ Don't Speak w/ Haley, just EVERY PMJ w/ Haley
perfect example of a 1940's Torch Singer, she is so good.
Lots of people cover it this takes the cake
Haley...... ! !
Great reaction! Welcome to the rabbit hole!
Thanks so much!!
Often you can’t see the drummer in Postmodern Jukebox videos. 😂
PMJ just announced their early 2024 dates.
It’s a bit like a variety show, and Haley is not on the tour, but if you appreciate the music, it good.
Effie Passero was performing “Creep” in their last tour in Europe, she does her interpretation of Scott’s composition and soars up and beyond, Scott’s arrangement showcases his guest vocalist talents in their own way. Try not to get stuck on just Haley and Morgan as PMJ has a ton of outstanding “under the radar” vocalist on their TH-cam channel, Miche, Hannah, Gunhild, Cortnie, Alison, Effie and the list goes on......
@@georgelynch6139 Agree. I’ve seen them once in person. And planning to go again.
This rendition depicts 40’s and 50’s style of jazz, with some elements of rock and blues. Haley is a master vocalist when it comes to these genres.
And yes, it was a running gag with PMJ to hide the drummer in many of their videos.
Seven Nation Army and Don’t Speak are also great PMJ/Haley Reinhart collaborations.
No it wasn't a gag, As Scott recorded the early videos before Haley made him a millionaire in his apartment living room and there simply was not enough room to show the drummer who usually was staged behind the singers.
Later, once Scott became rich thanks to Haley and bought his mansion, he then had enough room in his recording studio to always show the drummer.
@@Harry-ie3nt except that both Creep and All About That Bass were recorded in a studio in Zurich while on a European tour. And the drummer is hidden.
And I could find a few more videos that weren’t recorded in his apartment, where the drummer is hidden.
@@JeffTokayer Did you notice how tiny the studios were. It wasn't a gag, it was a necessity. I mean, who would agree to play drums and be hidden at the same time if it weren't absolutely necessary. Not many people.
Great reaction and analysis! For a bit more than a glimpse of the drummer check out Haley and PMJ doing To eLo’s Habits.
Thanks for the compliment. Will do on the song !!
Hello J&J💕 his voice gives me chills too. And his arm movements attract us... Thank you very much, it was such a beautiful moment of sharing😘
Glad you enjoyed it, Eveline!! ❤️🥷
I love most PMJ’s stuff especially with Haley but if you want her best, you have to listen to her song “Don’t know how to love you”!!!!!
Loved y’all’s reaction and insight to the industry. All of my kids are in some way associated with music so I can tell when someone is in the industry. Y’all have my subscription. Thanks.
WOW, Daniel!! Loved this comment, and thank you very much for the kind compliment!!
If you want to hear horns, you ought to hear Haley singing Seven Nation Army with PMJ. They do it in the style of a New Orleans funeral dirge and it's absolutely unique and unexpected. Please check it out.
Hi guys. I recommend PMJ "MMMBOPP" version. PMJ is awesome.
Hi there. I really liked this one with Hailey & PMJ: Maps - Vintage 1970s Soul Maroon 5 Cover ft. Morgan James
The rare instances that the cover is better than the original
It's a running joke in PMJ to hide the drummer. They don't always hide him, but many times they do. Also, check out PMJ with Haley Reinhart singing Seven Nation Army, All About That Bass, Black Hole Sun (I may be remembering this one wrong), and Don't Speak. Have fun going down this rabbit hole!
No its not. In the early days, Scott recorded his videos in his small apartment living room. Thus, he didn't have enough space to show the drummer.most of the time.
Today, after Haley transformed Scott into a millionaire, Scott lives in a mansion with his own recording studio.
They did this in one take
I heard she did that in one take too!
you mention Morgan James you should check out "All About That Bass" with Haley, Morgan and Ariana Savalas this is the one that got me hooked on PMJ
I think we’ve done this one and it was awesome!
You need to check out the cover Pau from The Warning did on piano.
This was my favorite cover of "Creep" for a long time,until Pau from The Warning did her cover - totally knocks this off that spot - only because it's just Pau and a piano,Haley is great,no doubt but she's got a full band. You guys need to react to Paus version,and watch it right through until the very end - it's a typical Pau moment.
I just listened to Pau's version and it sucks big time next to Haley's version and it also for three years doesn't have many TH-cam listens. Unlike Haley's which is approximately 120 million views.
Hey Rob! I definitely will check out. Love Pau!! ✌🏽
@@Harry-ie3nt oh boo hoo,what a sook !
@@robhaunui3343 She is just not close to being in Haley Reinhart's league. I mean, three years already and still has not cracked at least a million views yet .Next to Haley's cover, that's sucks.
@@Harry-ie3nt man do you have things to learn.I love Haley,great voice and all,but that video of Paus was meant as an Instagram challenge for fans of The Warning (her and her sisters band),to choose 1 song for her to learn and cover,wasn't meant as a YT upload (but it's where most everything ends up on),and "Creep" won. She learnt it in a few hours and posted what you see - not a choreographed video as Haley and the PMJ version was. They're both great versions but I prefer Paus because of the rawness of it. She's not out there trying to get views,her focus and priority is The Warning and for their success. Not bad where English is their second language,and the fact she is one of the finest (if not the finest) singing drummers out there. She's also handy on the keyboards,and her songwriting skills are well beyond her 21 years. Now,I doubt very much if any of what I just told you will interest you,as your mind is clearly biased and that's all good,so I'm gonna leave it here.
She was on American idol, and you should also check out her version of House of the risen sun. ❤❤ I enjoy your reactions very much. 😊

Hi, nice reaction, pau from the warning had a cover of creep, tried to hear the cover
I will check it out- love Pau!
I like this better than the original
They hide the drummer most of the time as a running gag. Haley is an amazing singer and performer and has superstar talent but she rerfuses to play the industry's games so she is relegated to small venues, which apparently suits her fine. She grew up with parents that had a working rock band. Don't Speak or Seven Nation Army would be great to react to along with many others. Those two and this one show her range and versitility. She's one of the very best female vocalist we have.. She'll blow your socks off folks.
pmj is great. haley is amazing. pls check out more like haley reinhart and puddles the pitty party
