This was everything I hoped it would be. Sorry for the tears, but they are understood. Postmodern Jukebox takes the songs we know and love and twists them into something different from a different era, leaving them totally recognizable and yet changed forever. If you feel like another, try their version of "Dream On" with another amazing singer, Morgan James. So happy to have you reacting again! 💌🎶
I still love your T-shirts. Simple messages in black and white. I really love the colorful tie-dye you wore once. Yes, I'm a deadhead, so it goes without saying that I love a good tie-dye.
Thanks, Rebecca! I’m so glad I finally got to this amazing performance, I was blown away! I’ve listened to a handful of their tracks, but still have MOST of their discography to dive into, and Haley’s, too. So ready for this rabbit hole! They really are magical. Thanks for that specific rec, I’ll make sure it’s on my list!💕😊
Great reaction Becca. Haley is a master vocalist, with scatting abilities she learned from her dad when still a baby. Seven Nation Army and Don’t Speak should be in your list of Haley reactions.
She really is! I can’t wait to dig into more of her stuff. How cool that her dad taught her at such a young age! (I’ll definitely get to those videos, for sure)
@@BeccaDoss Haley's parents have a rock band (Midnight) for over 40 years. From a young age Haley sang with them. And still does.

Yes, girl, I understand how powerful lyrics can be. I'm a recovered heroin addict, been clean for almost 3 decades. But these lyrics still get me every time: A pill to make you numb A pil to make you dumb A pill to make you anybody else But all the drugs in this world Won't save her from herself Like a punch in the gut, even just typing them. 😣 The song is Coma White by Marilyn Manson. Despite his current situation, I can't deny what his music meant to me when I was getting clean in the 90s You handled this song's triggering words beautifully tho, with strength and resilience while showing yourself compassion and grace. Brava, dahling! 🌹🦇🌹🦇🌹🦇🌹
First of all, congratulations on being clean for nearly 3 decades, that’s a huge win, and something I know often feels like a day to day choice, even when we’ve been at it a while. I hope you have more days than not where that’s not the case, but I know any addiction is hard to beat, and I just wanted to acknowledge how big a deal it is. Those lyrics are SO powerful, my goodness. I’m not familiar with that song, but I’m gonna have to check it out for sure. Thank you so much for sharing your story and those powerful lines, and for the encouragement in my own journey. Grateful to have you here.💕
Her cover of Black Hole Sun(also with PM JB), is phenomenal. The way she flawlessly goes from the penthouse to the basement and back just blows me away every time.
My favorite part of all the reactions to this song is when she goes up and everyone gets blown away and then she's like "oh I'm not done yet" and does the run. Nobody expects it lol
Becca, your knowledge both in music and life is why I love your breakdowns. Never stop bringing humanity to your reactions. Couldn't have enjoyed this song without you here. Thanks 💙🫂
Hey sister! You always bring such a big smile to my face, I just want you to know that. It’s honestly mind boggling to me that I’m able to do this work I love-which includes my very obsessive passion for breaking down music/lyrics and applying them to life-the fact that others are able to enjoy it means so much to me. As I sometimes say (usually to the rare comment of someone new who questions the truth of my emotional responses or calls me fake): I don’t know how to live or react any way but completely honestly, and openly embracing the common humanity we all share. It’s a blessing to connect with so many others via this kind of content, and I have no intention of stopping.🙏🏼💕
oh, if we're doing PMJ, you absolutely must do "all about the bass"... it is just outright fun and chock-full of talent. there's tons more, but that one's a must.
Squeeeeeeee so excited to see you do this one! One of my all-time favorite covers 🥰 But then, hoo-boy - that rollercoaster of emotions you took us on 😭 thank you for sharing what the lyrics mean to you. You are so expressive and we felt everything you were trying to convey 🥺🫶 Love PMJ, love Haley, most of all love you Becca 😘
This is one song that gets me in my feels. I relate to every word, the one non-Ren song that feels like it was written about me. I love Haileys voice so hard too! I'm so happy to see you 😊 I hope you're doing better every day!
Thank you for this reaction Becca. I really like this version of Creep, but for me personally no one can touch the original, because put quite simply Thom Yorke is a genius and the pathos with which he delivered that song into the world just cannot be matched. All that being said, Haley Reinhardt has a beautiful voice and the mix of bluesiness and almost 1940’s sound offers up a gorgeous interpretation. With regards to what you said about the idea of control, you addressed so succinctly how that manifests for those with eating disorders. However, it is also such a hard area to navigate for so many of us, in many different walks of life. Taking control is never easy and always requires us to be objective about ourselves and our abilities at any given time. We all need to be “set free” from the idea of seeking true perfection because it is a fallacy and lean towards the idea that by just being here we are always enough in whatever shape or form we inhabit and way we end up living.
Came across your channel today in what’s essentially my effort to watch every YT reaction to this video. I love your energy here, and I wish you (and yours) only the best on your journey. Much love! ❤
I'm sooo happy! Thanks for that Becca. I'm made up to be able to share this with you, and that you really felt it, as I was sure you would. Much love ❤
I smiled hugely when I saw this comment come in! Thanks again for reminding me of this one until I was finally able to get to it-it was a wonderful experience, and absolutely cathartic in the most healing way. It means the world that you thought to share it with me. As always, I really appreciate you.💕
You are refreshingly genuine and I felt connected to you immediately. Love that you are unafraid to express what you feel! I have struggled with disordered eating most of my life as well, and I had never thought of those lyrics from that perspective, so you got me in the feels. Haley is probably my favourite female vocalist, so I was here for it!! I subbed and do look forward to getting to know you better through more of your reactions.
Thank you so much-I’ve mentioned it a few times here and there over the past several months, but I’m notoriously terrible at faking emotion, so anything too see here is just…me. The exact same reactions I’d have if I was alone (or with my husband, who can attest to me breaking down lyrics and emotions with basically any song I share with him😂). It’s actually kind of ironic, because most of my life I was teased for being “too sensitive” or “too emotional” or told I needed to “stop overreacting,” so I spent a lot of my life toning down my actual authentic emotions and masking. This community on TH-cam over the last 9 months or so has given me the confidence to just be ME, and not only that, but comments like yours are so powerful to me-it’s still surreal to have so many wonderful souls supporting me and letting me know they resonate with the emotion/authenticity/vulnerability. It’s been an awesome experience, and I couldn’t be more thankful. I’m sorry you know the struggle of disordered eating so well, it’s such a battle and takes so long to get past, if we ever do get to that point. I knew those lines were coming in that second verse, I thought I could handle it, but nope-they took me out. I hope you were able to take gentle care of yourself when all the feels came up.💕 I have absolutely fallen in love with Haley! Her season of Idol is one of the few seasons I didn’t watch, after being a diehard fan from the beginning, because I was a senior in college, and I couldn’t keep up with any of the seasons from like 7-10. So it’s been a blast digging into some of her stuff with PMJ, and I’m also looking forward to doing some of her own work-I’m officially hooked!😊 Really appreciate you taking time to stop by, and now just watch, but leave such an encouraging comment. So happy to have you here!
What a beautiful performance and reaction! I always enjoy how passionate you get about what you’re listening to, it’s so refreshing to see! I’m glad to have seen videos from you twice recently, I hope that indicates that you’re feeling ok right now. I just found out I have a tentative MCAS diagnosis! I need to get it confirmed, but everything points to it so far. It’s not really going to change much if I do get an official diagnosis, but it’s another spoonie thing we share (or probably share, at least). I hope you’re feeling as good as possible and having a lovely holiday season!
1st; Love your intelligence and the way you discuss your issue and eloquently you explain your reaction. Welcome to Haley's world. Her vocal toolkit is absolutely world class. Enjoyed the reaction, definitely will be back.
Thank you so much, these words mean so much to me. I love being able to dive into the music/videos, both on an intellectual and emotional level, and it’s a blessing to know others are able to connect with it when I can share. I’m so glad to finally be on the Haley train, and can’t wait to dig into more of her stuff, with PMJ and split! So glad to have you here.😊💕
"I don't belong here" cuts for me. It's like a lie that holds power in a half-truth, it manifests in fear. That has left me in the dark. But in the way that she takes ownership of it, I also have come home to the uncomfortable.
My first time seeing you. Initially thought the tears were silly until you shared your personal story. Much respect to you and best of luck as you go through this.
If it was your first time, I totally understand that. I was the idiot who through I’d make it through that second verse without crying-nope, don’t think I’ve actually been able to do that for 2+ decades. But thanks for sticking around to hear the explanation for why those lines affect me so deeply. Heads up, I have several emotional reactions on here, that resonate on a very personal level, whether related to recovery/mental health, or chronic physical illness. It’s a blessing to be able to create this content, because being able to lose myself in emotion (not just the tears, but the overwhelming joy and other things that come with these videos, too) is one of the most healing things for me. Helps get me out of my own head. And I’ve told a handful of people over the past several months, but I’m notoriously horrible at faking emotion, so anything you see on this channel is 100% what my authentic reaction would be if listening by myself, with no camera. Even the commentary I add is stuff I usually just explain to my husband, so this is as real as it gets for me. So glad to have you here!💕😊
Best wishes in your continued recovery. I love your passion for music and your reaction here was really on point, including the aside r/e eating disorders. Thank you.
Thank you so much for letting me know you enjoyed it, it makes my heart smile to be able to create content others can connect to in some way.😊 And thanks for the encouragement, just trying to take things one day at a time.💕
Becca My Hopes are for Your Recovery, The Power of the Musical Performance drags you along. This Process Seams to take you from your "Own Thoughts" in the Power and Abilities of your Talents and Skills. Perfection can be Just a Waist of Life. Good Luck and Take Care.
This is an amazing performance. But she had a lot of other performances that were all short in some way. But she keeps working and then she achieves this. So keep working. you can get there too.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for letting me know!😊 So happy to have you here, I really appreciate your support and hope you’re taking care of yourself.💕
Great choice, Becca...and your reactions always add something special! I really like PMJB and for a really nice contrast in mood, their cover of Thrift Shop is terrific!
I like how they take otherwise serious songs and play them in a time period genre that almost makes light of it. Not in an offensive way, but it's just emotionally confusing. The song is as they do it is meant to be fun, and it uses a song that originally is not meant to be fun to do it. It's almost like a "hold my beer" musical challenge. They do this again, and also with Haley, with the song "Habits" by Tove Lo. If you aren't familiar, it's a kinda clubby song that has absolutely depressing lyrics about a pitiful person reaching rock bottom in a lifestyle of excess, escapism, and general self destruction. And then PMJ and Haley are like "Can't make this fun? Hold my MFin' beer". I think you would like it. If you aren't familiar with the song, it might be a good dual reaction. Listen to Tove Lo's version, react to the lyrics and message, because I thin there's a lot you would like to say about it, then listen to Haley and PMJ just dominate it with fun.
I really enjoyed this reaction, even the tears. This song often makes me cry for different reasons depending on where I am in my life. I also recommend an acapella version of this song by Voiceplay. They are frequently overshadowed by Pentatonix and Home Free but in my opinion are just as good technically and I think do a better job connecting with the music on an emotional level. Their cover of Creep is a great example of that. Haley's version and Voiceplay's version are my two favorite and I don't think I could pick between them. Looking forward to seeing more and am subscribing in anticipation.
Excellent point! I got so enraptured with this performance I totally forgot to even go down that route and mention it, but that’s definitely the vibes she’s giving, especially at the end of the first chorus when she strikes a Marilyn pose for a second, while the band hits a note simultaneously. Amazing!💕
This is the first of your videos that I've seen, and I just wanted to thank you for your courage and bravery in sharing your battle with us. My personal demon isn't an eating disorder, but as you said, we love this song because we can relate so much to the lyrics and our personal pain. Loved your reaction, and thanks again. Keep on keepin' on, Becca! ♥
I’m so glad to have to here, thanks so much for taking time to not only watch, but leave such a thoughtful, encouraging comment. I think the magic of this song is how the lyrics can be both so specific to each of our circumstances, as well as general enough it doesn’t matter what those struggles are, we can all connect with it. An amazing song and message, and this is possibly my favorite cover of it, ever. Haley absolutely crushed it. Happy to know you enjoyed this one.😊💕
I understand she had a bad case of the flu, when she was called into the studio one night to record this. I saw Post MODERN Jukebox in Reno, NV SEVERAL years ago & they were spectacular.. Go see them if you ever get the chance. And watch their cover of 'All About That Bass' for a real treat.
That’s a masterclass in professionalism, and I hope she let herself go home and rest for a LONG time after that! I’ve been a casual PMJ fan (meaning, when I’ve come across their stuff, I love it but I haven’t listened to most of it), but there’s still plenty to uncover!) How cool that you got to see them in Reno! I’ve got that cover on my to-react list, so it’ll happen sometime!😊💕
Becca, I’m new to your channel but we share a similar thing in that you’ve had over two decades of being in a bad place. Your bad place was Anorexia, my bad place was Fibromyalgia, I still have it but have come to terms with it now and live the best way I can! This is also one of my favourite versions of this emotional song, Hayley is an amazing singer! I also have another favourite which is more raw than this version, it’s just a young woman and the family piano and it’s recorded on her iPhone. Her name is Paulina and she’s part of a band called The Warning. Her version of Creep was done on a dare from some of her friends on Instagram, she had 4 hours to get it done and uploaded! The band is her and her two sisters, she plays Drums, her younger sister Alejandra plays Bass and her older sister Daniela plays guitar and sings vocals, in fact they all sing! Anyway this is the link to Paulina’s song: th-cam.com/video/A6Y4XpBxjU0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Uu9jDi9MfWDIY-Pc
We’ve got even more in common than you know, because I also have multiple complex chronic illnesses that leave me with chronic pain, and has a lot of overlap with fibromyalgia symptoms, as well. I’m sorry you know that battle, but I am so glad to know that you’ve come to terms with it and you are able to live life the best way that you can. That’s all that we can really do in any given moment, on any given day, to avoid not feeling suffocated by whatever dealing with. Thanks for sharing that backstory and link, I’m looking forward to checking it out! So happy to have you here.😊💕
@@BeccaDoss I did wonder about the possibility of you having chronic pain, that’s part of what prompted me to reach out. The Warning are still only 19, 21 and 23 and have been a band for 10 years now, they come from Monterrey Mexico, but were educated in a dual language school and speak / sing perfect English. Lyrically their songwriting is way beyond their years, very thought provoking and open to interpretation. I noticed from this you were quite analytical about the lyrics. I think that you would like them, they have toured with some high profile artists, Foo Fighters, Guns n Roses, Halestorm, The Pretty Reckless and Muse, and played live at this years MTV VMA’s. That’s enough now, I’ll leave you to watch Paulina, I’m not asking you to react to it, I just wanted you to see it.
Great reaction! Wanna recommend (as others have) Seven Nation Army with her and PMJ and try to watch it and not compare her to Jessica Rabbit also their version of Don't Speak is an ABSOLUTE POWERHOUSE of a performance, to the point that i switch radio stations when the No Doubt version comes on because Hayleys is the only version i can listen to now...and i used to LOVE the No Doubt version! And thank you for being so open and owning your truth, there is so much power in being able to do so and you are going to be (and are) inspiring so many to reclaim their own power to their own truths and be able to understand that while some hills are mountains....some mountains are just hills. May still be a hard hike/climb, but keep at it and eventually the view will be worth it.
Thank you so much for reiterating those songs, because I’m really excited to get to all of them! And your comment, specifically, has me really stoked to hear the Don’t Speak cover.😊 I love the way you phrased the second half of your comment, I’ve always been someone who’s been open about my own battles because I know many people aren’t comfortable being open, and it sometimes helps them feel more comfortable with a little more vulnerability. Ultimately, with anything I post, I hope to either help others feel less alone, more understood, or to give them something to learn or laugh about. It’s a blessing to be able to connect with so many kind souls in this way.💕
@@BeccaDoss We all have our own seperate issues and while mine are not the same as yours, it can help to hear others be so open by what so many are embarrassed or ashamed to admit to and they shouldn't be. I also want to recommend another group (sorry if you have reacted, commenting before i look through your posting history) called Pentatonix or PTX for short. Specifically their new song Pure Imagination/Christmastime Is Here, it's like a healing warm hug on a cold day. They are an acappella group that you would swear cannot be acappella. Their whole catalogue is STUNNING and some other faves are Hallelujah (somewhere near 700 million views at last count) The Prayer, Daft Punk medley, and their version of Seals Kiss From a Rose is unmatchable and has their beatboxer playing cello while beatboxing. And in my opinion, his cello solo will become as iconic as the fiddle playing in Charlie Daniels Bands 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia' You truly were a treat to watch and i woud love to see how you react to PTX!
Your tearing up had me tearing up. Stop that! I’m just kidding. Lol. Know that you’re beautiful, and keep up the good work. Also; allow me to say this because not enough people hear it or realize it. You are perfect. You’re not without flaws, but you are perfect. You are you, and that’s something that no one else in world can be. No one else can live the life you’ve lived; make the choices you’ve made; suffer the heartaches and hardships you have endured to come out to be the perfect individual you are. Remember that.😊
Lying here in my hospital bed crying because this means so much to me. I don’t have the adequate words to thank you, but I just wanted you to know how much it touched my soul and how grateful I am for you.💕
Great reaction! I'm sorry for your demon. I've battled a few demons in my life so I understand the tears and the angst. I don't know if you're a believer in God but that's who helped me. If you don't believe look to your inner strength. You're in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless ✌️❤️🙏
Anorexia has a counterpart - diabetes. Now that I know how to deal with my problem, I've gone from 470 pounds to 230 - less than half the man that I used to be. As Haley sang, "...I wanna have control...". Well, I'm getting there - and it looks like you're getting there, too. Hang in there!
Thank you Becca. Thanks for introducing me to this powerful version of Creep with your excellent reaction. You said you heard many covers. Have you heard the softer version of the Scala Women Choir ? Really worth the listen ? It has been used in the trailer for 'The Social Network' th-cam.com/video/h0baR5zIcuk/w-d-xo.html
I haven’t listened to that song in its entirety, no, thanks for mentioning it! I did see the trailer for that film (and saw the film when it came out), but it was so long ago I don’t remember anything about what it sounds like, I’ll have to check it out! Glad you enjoyed this one.😊💕
Very good reaction. We all have our challenges. It's what we do with them that matters most. As awesome as Haley is, are you aware she's only 5' 2"? [She's height challenged.] But she projects like she's 10 feet tall. Same with you, your abilities are more important to your friends and all of us, your fans, than your challenges. Keep up the great work. 😃
You said that perfectly, thank you for sharing. I am really glad to know you enjoyed this one, it’s always a blessing to be able to share things others are able to connect to, as well. I had no idea she was only 5’2”, and like you said, I think it’s because her presence takes up metaphorical space in the most magical way. Thank you for your reminders at the end, too. I definitely and someone who tends to doubt that I have anything worthwhile to share with the world, and it’s comments like this that help me realize those relies my brain keeps telling me, and it told me for too long.💕🫶🏼
This is no longer a Radiohead song. This song no belongs to Haley. All kidding aside, Haley is the best jazz singer of her her generation and likely quite a few generations before and after. She is anatomically made for it (No, that's not a hot girl comment). She has that naturally husky, smoky speaking voice that sounds like honey dripping off a baby grand piano in a dark 30's lounge. Haley is a powerhouse of a singer, and no matter how much attention she gets, it's not enough. Jessica Rabbit who?
So glad you’re enjoying them! And yeah, this was excellent! Can’t wait to get to more.😊 I’ve listened to some PMJ before, but never gotten close to most of their discography, and this is the first thing I’ve seen/heard with them and Haley, so I’m stoked to keep going!💕
Haley Reinhart is JESSICA RABBIT, reincarnated. I've said it from the first time I saw this video. An she MAKES the vieweers feel the song she is singing. Great Reactions and thank you for sharing them with us, Becca. Nice Post.
I can totally see that! She really DOES have an uncanny ability to help the viewers feel the truth in the words, and connect to it so deeply. So glad you enjoyed this one!😊💕
Haley is channeling that 50s housewife (honey heres your dinner). Haley is the best all-around female vocalist today, not singer (anyone can sing) what a master vocal technician who can use every vocal color tastefully and effortlessy. If everybody had just one vote Haley would of won American Idol easily
That’s exactly the vibe I was getting and I failed to articulate it clearly, so thank you for adding this here! I’m currently rewatching Desperate Housewives for the first time in a decade-ish, and this totally gave me Bree Van de Kamp vibes!😂 I’m so glad to finally listen to some of her stuff. I knew who she was, but I stopped watching Idol after about season 10, so I didn’t really KNOW know her. I’m a fan, now! She’s truly special.💕
Here's a suggestion, TOTALLY OFF THE WALL . . . . . Tom MacDonald's "I Wish". He's a white, Canadian, pierced, tatooed, former professional wrestler THAT RAPS! I . . . am a conservative leaning, independent voting, white, 68 year old, knuckle dragging, retired auto mechanic and I think that he is a fresh, much needed voice for folks to hear. Go figure . . . . . His following is HUGE and growing. Check him out, YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
She was a magician since her audition at Idols. That's how long I have been a fan of Hailey. ❤
This was everything I hoped it would be. Sorry for the tears, but they are understood. Postmodern Jukebox takes the songs we know and love and twists them into something different from a different era, leaving them totally recognizable and yet changed forever. If you feel like another, try their version of "Dream On" with another amazing singer, Morgan James. So happy to have you reacting again! 💌🎶
I still love your T-shirts. Simple messages in black and white. I really love the colorful tie-dye you wore once. Yes, I'm a deadhead, so it goes without saying that I love a good tie-dye.
Thanks, Rebecca! I’m so glad I finally got to this amazing performance, I was blown away! I’ve listened to a handful of their tracks, but still have MOST of their discography to dive into, and Haley’s, too. So ready for this rabbit hole! They really are magical. Thanks for that specific rec, I’ll make sure it’s on my list!💕😊
Great reaction Becca.
Haley is a master vocalist, with scatting abilities she learned from her dad when still a baby.
Seven Nation Army and Don’t Speak should be in your list of Haley reactions.
She really is! I can’t wait to dig into more of her stuff. How cool that her dad taught her at such a young age! (I’ll definitely get to those videos, for sure)
@@BeccaDoss Haley's parents have a rock band (Midnight) for over 40 years.
From a young age Haley sang with them. And still does.
To fully appreciate Haley's bluesy side, her video recorded at Chess Records in Chicago, with just her father on acoustic guitar, is a raw masterpiece.
th-cam.com/video/omtsHEs2g0w/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PSm9zkHE-PZPgeZ1
The Haley rabbit hole has been jumped. Enjoy all of it, she has some amazing original stuff also.
Yes, girl, I understand how powerful lyrics can be. I'm a recovered heroin addict, been clean for almost 3 decades. But these lyrics still get me every time:
A pill to make you numb
A pil to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Won't save her from herself
Like a punch in the gut, even just typing them. 😣 The song is Coma White by Marilyn Manson. Despite his current situation, I can't deny what his music meant to me when I was getting clean in the 90s
You handled this song's triggering words beautifully tho, with strength and resilience while showing yourself compassion and grace. Brava, dahling! 🌹🦇🌹🦇🌹🦇🌹
Congrats on your sobriety. I've also walked a similiar path, and love that you made it out the other side.
Cheers from Oz💙🇦🇺
First of all, congratulations on being clean for nearly 3 decades, that’s a huge win, and something I know often feels like a day to day choice, even when we’ve been at it a while. I hope you have more days than not where that’s not the case, but I know any addiction is hard to beat, and I just wanted to acknowledge how big a deal it is.
Those lyrics are SO powerful, my goodness. I’m not familiar with that song, but I’m gonna have to check it out for sure. Thank you so much for sharing your story and those powerful lines, and for the encouragement in my own journey. Grateful to have you here.💕
Haley is a national treasure. It's a mystery how she's not a superstar; maybe because she doesn't produce mindless pop songs.
Her cover of Black Hole Sun(also with PM JB), is phenomenal. The way she flawlessly goes from the penthouse to the basement and back just blows me away every time.
My favorite part of all the reactions to this song is when she goes up and everyone gets blown away and then she's like "oh I'm not done yet" and does the run. Nobody expects it lol
YES! It was such a magical moment!
Becca, your knowledge both in music and life is why I love your breakdowns.
Never stop bringing humanity to your reactions.
Couldn't have enjoyed this song without you here.
Thanks 💙🫂
Hey sister! You always bring such a big smile to my face, I just want you to know that. It’s honestly mind boggling to me that I’m able to do this work I love-which includes my very obsessive passion for breaking down music/lyrics and applying them to life-the fact that others are able to enjoy it means so much to me.
As I sometimes say (usually to the rare comment of someone new who questions the truth of my emotional responses or calls me fake):

Damn becca... your face is just so cute. As you anticipate an upcoming line, you are so excited. It looks as if you might burst with joy or sadness.
I think "sultry" is the perfect description of her affect in this.
YES! That’s the exactly right word!
oh, if we're doing PMJ, you absolutely must do "all about the bass"... it is just outright fun and chock-full of talent.
there's tons more, but that one's a must.
She's one of a kind. Don't compare to anyone else.
Squeeeeeeee so excited to see you do this one! One of my all-time favorite covers 🥰 But then, hoo-boy - that rollercoaster of emotions you took us on 😭 thank you for sharing what the lyrics mean to you. You are so expressive and we felt everything you were trying to convey 🥺🫶 Love PMJ, love Haley, most of all love you Becca 😘
This is one song that gets me in my feels. I relate to every word, the one non-Ren song that feels like it was written about me. I love Haileys voice so hard too!
I'm so happy to see you 😊 I hope you're doing better every day!
This is one of my faaaaavs 😍 pumped to watch!!
Thank you for this reaction Becca. I really like this version of Creep, but for me personally no one can touch the original, because put quite simply Thom Yorke is a genius and the pathos with which he delivered that song into the world just cannot be matched.

We all need to be “set free” from the idea of seeking true perfection because it is a fallacy and lean towards the idea that by just being here we are always enough in whatever shape or form we inhabit and way we end up living.
You're gonna LOVE their cover of "All About the Bass" . . . . .
Came across your channel today in what’s essentially my effort to watch every YT reaction to this video. I love your energy here, and I wish you (and yours) only the best on your journey. Much love! ❤
I'm sooo happy! Thanks for that Becca.
I'm made up to be able to share this with you, and that you really felt it, as I was sure you would.
Much love ❤
I smiled hugely when I saw this comment come in! Thanks again for reminding me of this one until I was finally able to get to it-it was a wonderful experience, and absolutely cathartic in the most healing way. It means the world that you thought to share it with me. As always, I really appreciate you.💕
You are refreshingly genuine and I felt connected to you immediately. Love that you are unafraid to express what you feel! I have struggled with disordered eating most of my life as well, and I had never thought of those lyrics from that perspective, so you got me in the feels.
Haley is probably my favourite female vocalist, so I was here for it!! I subbed and do look forward to getting to know you better through more of your reactions.
Thank you so much-I’ve mentioned it a few times here and there over the past several months, but I’m notoriously terrible at faking emotion, so anything too see here is just…me. The exact same reactions I’d have if I was alone (or with my husband, who can attest to me breaking down lyrics and emotions with basically any song I share with him😂).
It’s actually kind of ironic, because most of my life I was teased for being “too sensitive” or “too emotional” or told I needed to “stop overreacting,” so I spent a lot of my life toning down my actual authentic emotions and masking.
This community on TH-cam over the last 9 months or so has given me the confidence to just be ME, and not only that, but comments like yours are so powerful to me-it’s still surreal to have so many wonderful souls supporting me and letting me know they resonate with the emotion/authenticity/vulnerability. It’s been an awesome experience, and I couldn’t be more thankful.
I’m sorry you know the struggle of disordered eating so well, it’s such a battle and takes so long to get past, if we ever do get to that point. I knew those lines were coming in that second verse, I thought I could handle it, but nope-they took me out. I hope you were able to take gentle care of yourself when all the feels came up.💕
I have absolutely fallen in love with Haley! Her season of Idol is one of the few seasons I didn’t watch, after being a diehard fan from the beginning, because I was a senior in college, and I couldn’t keep up with any of the seasons from like 7-10. So it’s been a blast digging into some of her stuff with PMJ, and I’m also looking forward to doing some of her own work-I’m officially hooked!😊
Really appreciate you taking time to stop by, and now just watch, but leave such an encouraging comment. So happy to have you here!
She took that song and sang it like she owned it.
She really did!😁💕
What a beautiful performance and reaction! I always enjoy how passionate you get about what you’re listening to, it’s so refreshing to see!
I’m glad to have seen videos from you twice recently, I hope that indicates that you’re feeling ok right now. I just found out I have a tentative MCAS diagnosis! I need to get it confirmed, but everything points to it so far. It’s not really going to change much if I do get an official diagnosis, but it’s another spoonie thing we share (or probably share, at least). I hope you’re feeling as good as possible and having a lovely holiday season!
Hi Becca, this was my first time here and your reaction was spot on. This is my favorite cover of Creep. The emotion was amazing. I subbed.
This reaction gave me so much joy
What a coincidence, reading your comment gave ME so much joy!💕😊
1st; Love your intelligence and the way you discuss your issue and eloquently you explain your reaction. Welcome to Haley's world. Her vocal toolkit is absolutely world class. Enjoyed the reaction, definitely will be back.
Thank you so much, these words mean so much to me. I love being able to dive into the music/videos, both on an intellectual and emotional level, and it’s a blessing to know others are able to connect with it when I can share. I’m so glad to finally be on the Haley train, and can’t wait to dig into more of her stuff, with PMJ and split! So glad to have you here.😊💕
"I don't belong here" cuts for me. It's like a lie that holds power in a half-truth, it manifests in fear. That has left me in the dark. But in the way that she takes ownership of it, I also have come home to the uncomfortable.
My first time seeing you. Initially thought the tears were silly until you shared your personal story. Much respect to you and best of luck as you go through this.
If it was your first time, I totally understand that. I was the idiot who through I’d make it through that second verse without crying-nope, don’t think I’ve actually been able to do that for 2+ decades.
But thanks for sticking around to hear the explanation for why those lines affect me so deeply. Heads up, I have several emotional reactions on here, that resonate on a very personal level, whether related to recovery/mental health, or chronic physical illness.
It’s a blessing to be able to create this content, because being able to lose myself in emotion (not just the tears, but the overwhelming joy and other things that come with these videos, too) is one of the most healing things for me.
Helps get me out of my own head. And I’ve told a handful of people over the past several months, but I’m notoriously horrible at faking emotion, so anything you see on this channel is 100% what my authentic reaction would be if listening by myself, with no camera.
Even the commentary I add is stuff I usually just explain to my husband, so this is as real as it gets for me. So glad to have you here!💕😊
Best wishes in your continued recovery. I love your passion for music and your reaction here was really on point, including the aside r/e eating disorders. Thank you.
Fun reaction very insightful. Good luck with your journey and recovery
Thank you so much for letting me know you enjoyed it, it makes my heart smile to be able to create content others can connect to in some way.😊 And thanks for the encouragement, just trying to take things one day at a time.💕
Becca My Hopes are for Your Recovery, The Power of the Musical Performance drags you along. This Process Seams to take you from your "Own Thoughts" in the Power and Abilities of your Talents and Skills. Perfection can be Just a Waist of Life. Good Luck and Take Care.
Great reaction to a superb performance.
Must react to tunes by Haley with PMJ are "Seven Nation Army", "Don't Speak", "Oops, I Did It Again", "Habits", and "All About That Bass".
Just missed one other, Black Hole Sun. I hope she reacts to all of the.
@@Shermanite0623 Black Hole Sun is okay, but nonetheless, it is her lowest viewed video.
This is an amazing performance. But she had a lot of other performances that were all short in some way. But she keeps working and then she achieves this. So keep working. you can get there too.
This was a great reaction. I immediately connected with you ❤ You've got a new subby!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for letting me know!😊 So happy to have you here, I really appreciate your support and hope you’re taking care of yourself.💕
This is the first time that I watched your channel. You are an amazing woman ❤
I’m so glad to have you here, thanks for letting me know you stopped by!😊 And I’m thankful for your kind words, they mean more than I can say here.💕
you would also enjoy the key change Home Free has in When a man loves a woman, featuring Austin Brown. Like Haylee, an amazing performance.
As close to perfection as possible
Couldn’t have said it better, myself.😊💕
Thanks for sharing. Great reaction.
Any time, friend, thank YOU for letting me know you enjoyed it.😊💕
Great choice, Becca...and your reactions always add something special! I really like PMJB and for a really nice contrast in mood, their cover of Thrift Shop is terrific!
Aww....thanks for that info. Will check it out.💙
I like how they take otherwise serious songs and play them in a time period genre that almost makes light of it. Not in an offensive way, but it's just emotionally confusing. The song is as they do it is meant to be fun, and it uses a song that originally is not meant to be fun to do it. It's almost like a "hold my beer" musical challenge. They do this again, and also with Haley, with the song "Habits" by Tove Lo. If you aren't familiar, it's a kinda clubby song that has absolutely depressing lyrics about a pitiful person reaching rock bottom in a lifestyle of excess, escapism, and general self destruction. And then PMJ and Haley are like "Can't make this fun? Hold my MFin' beer". I think you would like it. If you aren't familiar with the song, it might be a good dual reaction. Listen to Tove Lo's version, react to the lyrics and message, because I thin there's a lot you would like to say about it, then listen to Haley and PMJ just dominate it with fun.
I really enjoyed this reaction, even the tears. This song often makes me cry for different reasons depending on where I am in my life. I also recommend an acapella version of this song by Voiceplay. They are frequently overshadowed by Pentatonix and Home Free but in my opinion are just as good technically and I think do a better job connecting with the music on an emotional level. Their cover of Creep is a great example of that. Haley's version and Voiceplay's version are my two favorite and I don't think I could pick between them. Looking forward to seeing more and am subscribing in anticipation.
I love that she does that in a Marilyn Monroe voice who was someone who wouldn't need to sing those lines
Excellent point! I got so enraptured with this performance I totally forgot to even go down that route and mention it, but that’s definitely the vibes she’s giving, especially at the end of the first chorus when she strikes a Marilyn pose for a second, while the band hits a note simultaneously. Amazing!💕
They did this song in one take. Drop the Mike!
This is the first of your videos that I've seen, and I just wanted to thank you for your courage and bravery in sharing your battle with us. My personal demon isn't an eating disorder, but as you said, we love this song because we can relate so much to the lyrics and our personal pain. Loved your reaction, and thanks again. Keep on keepin' on, Becca! ♥
I’m so glad to have to here, thanks so much for taking time to not only watch, but leave such a thoughtful, encouraging comment. I think the magic of this song is how the lyrics can be both so specific to each of our circumstances, as well as general enough it doesn’t matter what those struggles are, we can all connect with it. An amazing song and message, and this is possibly my favorite cover of it, ever. Haley absolutely crushed it. Happy to know you enjoyed this one.😊💕
I understand she had a bad case of the flu, when she was called into the studio one night to record this. I saw Post MODERN Jukebox in Reno, NV SEVERAL years ago & they were spectacular.. Go see them if you ever get the chance. And watch their cover of 'All About That Bass' for a real treat.
That’s a masterclass in professionalism, and I hope she let herself go home and rest for a LONG time after that! I’ve been a casual PMJ fan (meaning, when I’ve come across their stuff, I love it but I haven’t listened to most of it), but there’s still plenty to uncover!) How cool that you got to see them in Reno! I’ve got that cover on my to-react list, so it’ll happen sometime!😊💕
Becca, I’m new to your channel but we share a similar thing in that you’ve had over two decades of being in a bad place. Your bad place was Anorexia, my bad place was Fibromyalgia, I still have it but have come to terms with it now and live the best way I can!
This is also one of my favourite versions of this emotional song, Hayley is an amazing singer! I also have another favourite which is more raw than this version, it’s just a young woman and the family piano and it’s recorded on her iPhone. Her name is Paulina and she’s part of a band called The Warning. Her version of Creep was done on a dare from some of her friends on Instagram, she had 4 hours to get it done and uploaded! The band is her and her two sisters, she plays Drums, her younger sister Alejandra plays Bass and her older sister Daniela plays guitar and sings vocals, in fact they all sing! Anyway this is the link to Paulina’s song: th-cam.com/video/A6Y4XpBxjU0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Uu9jDi9MfWDIY-Pc
We’ve got even more in common than you know, because I also have multiple complex chronic illnesses that leave me with chronic pain, and has a lot of overlap with fibromyalgia symptoms, as well. I’m sorry you know that battle, but I am so glad to know that you’ve come to terms with it and you are able to live life the best way that you can. That’s all that we can really do in any given moment, on any given day, to avoid not feeling suffocated by whatever dealing with.
Thanks for sharing that backstory and link, I’m looking forward to checking it out! So happy to have you here.😊💕
@@BeccaDoss I did wonder about the possibility of you having chronic pain, that’s part of what prompted me to reach out.
The Warning are still only 19, 21 and 23 and have been a band for 10 years now, they come from Monterrey Mexico, but were educated in a dual language school and speak / sing perfect English. Lyrically their songwriting is way beyond their years, very thought provoking and open to interpretation. I noticed from this you were quite analytical about the lyrics. I think that you would like them, they have toured with some high profile artists, Foo Fighters, Guns n Roses, Halestorm, The Pretty Reckless and Muse, and played live at this years MTV VMA’s.
That’s enough now, I’ll leave you to watch Paulina, I’m not asking you to react to it, I just wanted you to see it.
I have faith in you ♥
That means the world to me, thank you so much.💕
Great reaction! Wanna recommend (as others have) Seven Nation Army with her and PMJ and try to watch it and not compare her to Jessica Rabbit also their version of Don't Speak is an ABSOLUTE POWERHOUSE of a performance, to the point that i switch radio stations when the No Doubt version comes on because Hayleys is the only version i can listen to now...and i used to LOVE the No Doubt version! And thank you for being so open and owning your truth, there is so much power in being able to do so and you are going to be (and are) inspiring so many to reclaim their own power to their own truths and be able to understand that while some hills are mountains....some mountains are just hills. May still be a hard hike/climb, but keep at it and eventually the view will be worth it.
Thank you so much for reiterating those songs, because I’m really excited to get to all of them! And your comment, specifically, has me really stoked to hear the Don’t Speak cover.😊
I love the way you phrased the second half of your comment, I’ve always been someone who’s been open about my own battles because I know many people aren’t comfortable being open, and it sometimes helps them feel more comfortable with a little more vulnerability. Ultimately, with anything I post, I hope to either help others feel less alone, more understood, or to give them something to learn or laugh about. It’s a blessing to be able to connect with so many kind souls in this way.💕
@@BeccaDoss We all have our own seperate issues and while mine are not the same as yours, it can help to hear others be so open by what so many are embarrassed or ashamed to admit to and they shouldn't be. I also want to recommend another group (sorry if you have reacted, commenting before i look through your posting history) called Pentatonix or PTX for short. Specifically their new song Pure Imagination/Christmastime Is Here, it's like a healing warm hug on a cold day. They are an acappella group that you would swear cannot be acappella. Their whole catalogue is STUNNING and some other faves are Hallelujah (somewhere near 700 million views at last count) The Prayer, Daft Punk medley, and their version of Seals Kiss From a Rose is unmatchable and has their beatboxer playing cello while beatboxing. And in my opinion, his cello solo will become as iconic as the fiddle playing in Charlie Daniels Bands 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia' You truly were a treat to watch and i woud love to see how you react to PTX!
Your tearing up had me tearing up. Stop that! I’m just kidding. Lol.
Know that you’re beautiful, and keep up the good work.
Also; allow me to say this because not enough people hear it or realize it. You are perfect. You’re not without flaws, but you are perfect. You are you, and that’s something that no one else in world can be. No one else can live the life you’ve lived; make the choices you’ve made; suffer the heartaches and hardships you have endured to come out to be the perfect individual you are. Remember that.😊
Lying here in my hospital bed crying because this means so much to me. I don’t have the adequate words to thank you, but I just wanted you to know how much it touched my soul and how grateful I am for you.💕
Great reaction! I'm sorry for your demon. I've battled a few demons in my life so I understand the tears and the angst. I don't know if you're a believer in God but that's who helped me. If you don't believe look to your inner strength. You're in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless ✌️❤️🙏
Anorexia has a counterpart - diabetes.
Now that I know how to deal with my problem, I've gone from 470 pounds to 230 - less than half the man that I used to be.
As Haley sang, "...I wanna have control...".
Well, I'm getting there - and it looks like you're getting there, too.
Hang in there!
I love Haley...
I’m a convert/fan now, for sure!💕
❤❤❤
💕💕💕💕
Apparently she was sick and came in to do it anyways and did it in one take.
Wow! That’s dedication, and I never would’ve guessed!💕
You're a beautiful person. I love you.
Thank you, friend, this means a lot to me. So grateful to have you here.💕😊
Thank you Becca.
Thanks for introducing me to this powerful version of Creep with your excellent reaction.
You said you heard many covers. Have you heard the softer version of the Scala Women Choir ?
Really worth the listen ?
It has been used in the trailer for 'The Social Network'
th-cam.com/video/h0baR5zIcuk/w-d-xo.html
I haven’t listened to that song in its entirety, no, thanks for mentioning it! I did see the trailer for that film (and saw the film when it came out), but it was so long ago I don’t remember anything about what it sounds like, I’ll have to check it out! Glad you enjoyed this one.😊💕
I heard she did in one take, too!
That’s so impressive!😁💕
1 take on a day off from touring with PMJ and didn't want to overstretch her voice
Very good reaction.
We all have our challenges. It's what we do with them that matters most. As awesome as Haley is, are you aware she's only 5' 2"? [She's height challenged.] But she projects like she's 10 feet tall. Same with you, your abilities are more important to your friends and all of us, your fans, than your challenges. Keep up the great work. 😃
You said that perfectly, thank you for sharing. I am really glad to know you enjoyed this one, it’s always a blessing to be able to share things others are able to connect to, as well. I had no idea she was only 5’2”, and like you said, I think it’s because her presence takes up metaphorical space in the most magical way. Thank you for your reminders at the end, too. I definitely and someone who tends to doubt that I have anything worthwhile to share with the world, and it’s comments like this that help me realize those relies my brain keeps telling me, and it told me for too long.💕🫶🏼
Please do Ren's, Money Game I, II, III together. I know it takes a while but they are all worth it. ❤
Be NOT worried about SELF worth, BETTER - GOD worth. AMEN?

This is the sexy jazzy version
What a perfect interpretation of this song! You should react to AURORA, I guess you would like her music verry much.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!😊 And thanks for the recommendation, I’m adding it to my list so I don’t forget!💕
This is no longer a Radiohead song. This song no belongs to Haley. All kidding aside, Haley is the best jazz singer of her her generation and likely quite a few generations before and after. She is anatomically made for it (No, that's not a hot girl comment). She has that naturally husky, smoky speaking voice that sounds like honey dripping off a baby grand piano in a dark 30's lounge. Haley is a powerhouse of a singer, and no matter how much attention she gets, it's not enough. Jessica Rabbit who?
It's a different song , when sung by a woman. . . . . When sung by a male, it's about worthyness, when sung by a woman it's about envy.
See!? You got through it. 🤪
I did! But man, that was an emotional roller coaster (of the best kind)!💕😊
Love your reactions ain't Haley and postmodern jukebox the best
So glad you’re enjoying them! And yeah, this was excellent! Can’t wait to get to more.😊 I’ve listened to some PMJ before, but never gotten close to most of their discography, and this is the first thing I’ve seen/heard with them and Haley, so I’m stoked to keep going!💕
Karen Marie did this version 1 year before Haley - th-cam.com/video/3Ub3vliRRXI/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for sharing!💕
Betty Boop meets Jessica Rabbit
This song belongs to Haley. Radiohead sound s like grandma in a coma.
YOU are beautiful. Guess who says so? Yeshua/ Moriel ? LOVE you sweetie. Perfect Body or ANYTHING is fulfilled in HIM!
Love original Creep -very disturbing. This is a bit nicer in a Norah Jones kind of way. I love Norah too.❤😊
th-cam.com/video/tSTsojO_S-8/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=HaleysTusk
Haley Reinhart is JESSICA RABBIT, reincarnated. I've said it from the first time I saw this video. An she MAKES the vieweers feel the song she is singing. Great Reactions and thank you for sharing them with us, Becca. Nice Post.
I can totally see that! She really DOES have an uncanny ability to help the viewers feel the truth in the words, and connect to it so deeply. So glad you enjoyed this one!😊💕
Stop saying she is like Jessica rabbit. THIS is a real human.
Stop commanding her to others, she an individual
Haley is channeling that 50s housewife (honey heres your dinner). Haley is the best all-around female vocalist today, not singer (anyone can sing) what a master vocal technician who can use every vocal color tastefully and effortlessy. If everybody had just one vote Haley would of won American Idol easily
That’s exactly the vibe I was getting and I failed to articulate it clearly, so thank you for adding this here! I’m currently rewatching Desperate Housewives for the first time in a decade-ish, and this totally gave me Bree Van de Kamp vibes!😂
I’m so glad to finally listen to some of her stuff. I knew who she was, but I stopped watching Idol after about season 10, so I didn’t really KNOW know her. I’m a fan, now! She’s truly special.💕
Sorry Radiohead she owns this song now. You sound like a coma.
Here's a suggestion, TOTALLY OFF THE WALL . . . . . Tom MacDonald's "I Wish". He's a white, Canadian, pierced, tatooed, former professional wrestler THAT RAPS! I . . . am a conservative leaning, independent voting, white, 68 year old, knuckle dragging, retired auto mechanic and I think that he is a fresh, much needed voice for folks to hear. Go figure . . . . . His following is HUGE and growing. Check him out, YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
Haley has been scatting since she was a child, her father who is a musician use to do call and responce drills with her
Okay now THAT is just too cool! What a fun anecdote!
