Bro I was waiting for the rap verse and not a single part of me expected for her to pull it off that well this cover is so sick
I’ve always maintained that any Gorillaz cover that removes or tries to melodize the rap segments is garbage. Glad that she embraced it.
Incredible
@@juniperj4731 what other covers are there? Any good ones? - Gorilaz is that Damon Albarn thing - yeah?
@@juniperj4731 I really like this but I didn't realise that I was familiar with the original until listening to it just now. Both kinda great but I'd go with the original.
She pulled it off like as cracks man..
There are so many comments talking about people not liking this video, but I haven't seen a comment that says anything negative about the video
That's a good thing, all those comments have been shoved down
@@seanpule3494 - It's crap. No hate. Use more accurate language.
here i give you one: i think she 's overdone witht he Vibrating of her voice. felt like she just caught up on that trick and wanted to shove it as much as possible in the song. wasnt bad, was just too much in too many spots.
@@DocDewrill i saw this...
same I’m actually looking for those
The rapping portion gives me a scatting kinda vibe and that’s gorgeous, because it matches the later scatting that occurs-
Y'all are nuts, this is a fantastic version with some incredible scatting.
How tf did you get verified with no videos.
@@ven5707 EXACTLY
Sure you’re verified on TH-cam, but are you verified in the eyes of GOD?
I'm scatting while watching this
@@ezragrimes6716 You would be, Florida Man.
Jazz is my favorite genre.
Gorillaz is my favorite band.
Put the two together=
*H A P P I N E S S*
So that means mumble rap and lilpump?
Put two together and you get....
*ZA BAFF*
So,do you like Latin Simone?
GLADNESS
It's jazz/swing
we still haven't unlocked the drummer yet
I have a feeling he's going to be DLC.
maybe next update?
Ashley Stone There has to be a perfect storm of unlocks and use of items, you need the piano equipped but have to point the horns at the bass neck during the bridge.
I haven't unlocked the bridge yet, what level is that?
Pixel Factory 42, just make sure you have the sheet music item or it won't work, it'll glitch
She nailed the lyrics, the tune, voice, pitch, and even the outfit. This is perfect.
Okay, but it didn't sound like Ella.
I have to second you on that. She hit the bullseye on this.
That moment when you’re only seeing comments talking about other comments that don’t like this video, but you don’t see any comments about not liking this video.
Seth Phillips I’m mostly seeing comments about comments about comments that people didn’t like the video
Callum Davis yeah same, this is getting ridiculous
If you sort the comments by new you’ll see a lot of hate comments
SAME
It's getting drowned by the positive comments.
I ran out of cigarettes and illegal liquor, so I can't listen to this anymore.
jillian the only illegal liquor I can think of is moonshine which doesn’t really suit the vibe here
@@negan3873 It's a reference to the Prohibition, when liquor was declared illegal in America.

Bro no smoking please, i have asthma
This is a cover.
Not only that, but its a cover purposely done in a fairly different style.
I can understand what people are coming from in what they're saying about the vibrato and all that, and how its not good for Goriallz and all that, or that Robyn Adele Anderson could have done it better but heres the thing-
This is a stylizied cover, in the style of Vintage Ella Fitzgerald, a singer back in 1950s-1960s, around that, but I'm not 100% sure on the exact era. I've listened to a few of her songs briefly (note how I said briefly- I havent listened to an entire album or something like that. I skipped around a few songs and listened just enough to get what her style was because I wanted to see how the singer of this cover did in replicating it.) and Thia has done a wonderful job at executing the style. From what ive heard, a lot of Ella's songs have a lot of vibrato. Thia had quite a bit of emphasis on it, yes, but it works just fine.
This isnt supposed to be as trippy or eccentric as the original song, since that wouldn't genuinely go with the genre this cover is performed in. Yes, its not a match made in heaven, but they chose a different style and you can hear that its indeed a cover.
And of course, you're allowed to simply not enjoy the style, that's perfectly fine. You're allowed to still completely disagree with me, I'm not gonna be a pissbaby and screech at you. Opinions are opinions, so I thought I'd share mine
I think it’s a lot more than a “fairly” different style.
I agree with your assessment 1000%. She captures the genre and style of Ella Fitzgerald perfectly. I would pay money to see this performed live.
velvert Personally I’m not a huge fan of when Robyn does covers like this anymore. Sometimes she kills it, but there are many times that she’ll sing it with the original style to a totally different beat and it sounds weird and wrong. I actually do love this cover though. It’s blended together nicely and I think she captured both the Gorrillaz and Ella Fitzgerald fairly well.
well said
Personally I love the jazz vocal vibrato compared to the new stuff, way more soulful
I'm a simple person, I see PMJ, and I feel good.
*PMJ and Gorillaz
Oh hell yes
I see what you did there, have a like.
incorporated?
Cat J Barber It's therapeutic.
Can we just take a moment to address the perfect vintage style of the cover? It just gives the song a whole new level of beauty and her voice is ASTONISHING
Disney villain vibe
I don't know why everyone says that they don't understand her, I understand everything perfectly fine.
Mimi- Same!🙃🙃
Mimi knowing the lyrics before hand makes a big difference
hating ass bitches thats all
Mimi ayeee army 👀👀
Yeah turn on captions
This is actually very well done. People who don't understand the lyrics obviously don't appreciate the song enough to know them in the original. It's not Postmodern Jukebox's fault.
It's not like they bothered enunciating in the original either.
Or just don't have subtitles. I do. I put them.
People are saying they can't understand her?
Well some people can't understand 2D either
I do not record any song I fully understood 2D to be honest
Not understanding 2D is the whole point of Gorillaz
Without the subs i totally missed, and 2D version is great bc i can understand that, the main theme is dystopian and 2D fit so amazingly
Same
Means she works ♡
"A melancholy town were we never smile" When she sang that part I got Just a Girl by No Doubt vibes lol
"all these comments talking smack" "y'all don't know what you're talking about, she killed it" and I'm here like... Who? Who is complaining? This rocks.
2:32 - 2:54
Her voice is soo hypnotizing. 😍
its not a cover anymore, its a work of art this song
This channel is like Pringles, once you pop (one video) you just can't stop.
I feel kinda bad for the drummer in these videos since most of the time he's hidden behind the singer :/
Nicolas Boyer I'm beginning to think that this is done on purpose...
Nicolas Boyer I have been here since 2013 and I am pretty certain that it is on purpose. I don't think that it would have been necessary to have him hidden so it might be a personal choice or something
Nicolas Boyer He's like Mr. Wilson, from Tool Time.
We just haven't unlocked him yet.
Welcome to the world of being a drummer. lol
The original Feels good inc. has such a unique sound i was curious to see how they would translate it to this style but they did an incredible job, this is now one of my fav covers.
3:10: my brain at 3 am
🤣🤣🤣
Lol lol
Okay, amazingly done. When I saw this one i was thinking, "no way they could rearrange it so it still sounds good." And wow was i wrong. (It did require a superior vocalist, but PMJ has consistently found the most amazing and skilled vocalists.) Well done.
Holy shit, this was sick. 10 seconds in and I hit Like. I’m very surprised how well this song lends itself to jazz.
I could listen that first chorus, with just the piano, the bass, a little back beat and her voice, over and over again.
Singer is stunning. Audio engineer deserves credit for letting that bass shine through like it should. Wait, there was a drummer? Must be a PMJ video.
One of Scott's best arrangements. So freaking good.
Amazing! I love this version! Can i use an instrumental of this version for a spanish cover?
ostia que haces aca :O?
¿what?
yo te conozco del cover de I'm still standing, muy bueno por cierto
Wait, there are people saying they don’t understand the words?
Okay, but 2D is a literal drug addict and you can’t decipher a word he says in the original song
You not understanding isn’t everyone even though I agree it’s a stupid point
Stop using Dr . Dre beats
For a drug addict, Feel Good is a really comprehensive song.
I think he WAS a drug addict don’t think he is now
forget the voice which is simply amazing.
its her performance that truly steals the show.
if ever given the chance i will, no doubt, do my best attend a live show of hers
Am I the only one who honestly loved this version. Everyone is talking smack about her singing style and not being able to understand what shes singing, but I can understand it perfectly. The way she's singing is very true to the style and pleasant!
Why would people complain about that? Haven't they heard the original? You understand at lot more here than there
who is talking smack? I dont see anyone like that in the comments
I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THE JAZZ VERSION OF EVERY SONG THIS CHANNEL HAS OH MY GOD
Great tribute to Ella as well as Gorillaz. The band and Thia are absolutely perfect in this.
Obsessed with this version. Thia's voice and style are OUTSTANDING.
dont think i ever clicked a video as fast in my entire life.
the yolorosa your name is killing me hahahha
happy 413
word
OMG :0
the yolorosa lmao same b0ss
the solo intro was absolutely amazing and perfect
So was anyone going to tell me about this cover or was I just supposed to wait for the youtube algorithm to recommend it 2 years later
Tell me about it finding it today
Try 3 years later dude
I was gonna tell you, but I had the minor inconvenience of not knowing about the existence of either you or this cover before today
Too many years too late for me. This is phenomenal
3:05 She looks back because even though she's killing it, this dude is murdering it!
What you say,dude?
She looks back and acknowledges he's doing a good job... Sorry, American slang.
@@papilloneffect4015 Ok.
Blimey, I love how artistic this version is, especially that laughing thing.
Thia Megia has such a beautiful voice!
I hear her voice at the first line of the song... and I automatically clicked the like buttom.
I love how PMJ arrange the covers. They chop and change the lyrical structure a little to make it their own. And I love what they did with the rap. This is just genius!
She makes singing look so easy. Great voice, and good performance of Thia.
0:54 The piano at this part was gorgeous.
Welcome Thia!
I'll be honest, I can't understand the lyrics any better now
lmfao
exactly what i was thinking. without sounding rude, it sounds like an eastern european attempting english by copying what she thinks the lyrics are lol.
The noises she makes are pleasant enough, but I think calling them "lyrics" is a bit of a stretch.
Yeah you put it better than i. Haha
It's something you see a lot with the singers here (Haley's another), and probably what separates some from going professional- Great tone, timbre etc but no diction whatsoever. I'm nowhere the quality of singer of these guys but diction was the FIRST thing my vocal teachers drilled.
Goosebumps in the first five seconds. Her voice is amazing.
This is a version that I never knew I needed! Also amazing vibrato from the vocalist
She is a fantastic singer, the band is outstanding as well.
Classy video. Thank you for sharing your videos.
*YESSSSSS MY REQUEST FROM LIVE*
i requested "killing me softly" i hope they make it too :D
with HALEY
Gio Yuki it's already a classic
why make it more classic?
i think it could be interesting . just like they did with other classic songs
This was fantastic!!!! This song is just so NOT vintage but you guys really made it sound like it could've been!! If I'd never heard this song before I would have thought it was a very old song. The arrangement was beautiful and I really enjoyed her unique style of singing. Really imaginative, loved it!
I for one love the her vibrato and singing voice ❤ love the way the song was performed
Even towards the beginning of the song?
she is gorgeous
Girl gave me goosebumps! Wow! What an amazing voice and her rendition is AWESOME!
The PMJ Stage is getting thick with American Idol Season 10 contestants. Thia has a great Jazz vocal quality that resonates beautifully. Great addition! It will be quite the reunion when Casey and Haley join her on stage. Hmm, Boston?
The Windmill part sounds amazing! It's like calming at first, but it's also energetic. I love Gorillaz's original, but yours is also amazing
So im sittin on my washing machine cause i put sheets in and it goes wild on the spin cycle..and it starts shaking right at 1:28, when she goes ham
All these women in your videos keep stealing a piece of my heart and I can't stop them. So fucking amazing.
Awesome ...I heard every word....This is a great arrangement..She's a good singer,nice styling and phrasing.very impressed...
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?
Feel good
Feel good
Feel good
City's breaking down on a camel's back
They just have to go 'cause they don't know wack
So all you fill the streets it's appealing to see
You won't get out the county, 'cause you're bad and free
You've got a new horizon it's ephemeral style
A melancholy town where we never smile
And all I wanna hear is the message beep
My dreams, they've gotta kiss me 'cause I don't get sleep, no
Windmill, windmill for the land
Turn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is sinking, fallin'
Love forever, love is free
Let's turn forever, you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?
Laughing gas these hazmats, fast cats,
Lining them up like ass cracks,
Ladies, ponies at the track
It's my chocolate attack
Shit, I'm stepping in the heart of this here
Care Bear rappin' it harder this year
Watch me as I gravitate
Hahahahahahaa
Yo, we gonna go ghost town,
This motown,
With your sound
You're in the blink
Gonna bite the dust
Can't fight with us
With your sound
You kill the INC.
So don't stop, get it, get it
Until you jet ahead.
Yo, watch the way I navigate
Hahahahahhaa
Windmill, windmill for the land
Turn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is sinking, falling down
Love forever, love is free
Let's turn forever, you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?
Don't stop, get it, get it
We are your captains in it
Steady,
Watch me navigate,
Ahahahahahhaa.
Don't stop, get it, get it
We are your captains in it
Steady,
Watch me navigate
Ahahahahahhaa
they changed some of the lyrics, just saying...
Why?
Gracias por la letra
@@minimanofiron2501 i think this lyrics fits with the words she sang
Shimmy Potato No, look at the captions. They changed some of the lyrics that can’t really be repeated on TH-cam.
She has such a great vibe. This is a seriously underrated cover
As with so many of PMJ's exquisitely talented lady artists, Ms. Megia makes me want to toss down some whisky and growl:
"Dat's wun _classy dame_ right dere."
I love the performance of everyone, specially the singer and all her gestures
Two years later and I still can't get enough of the bass during the rap section. It ain't Gorillaz without a crunchy bass line and Mr Solomon delivered
Not that I don' t appreciate all the others in this performance, but thanks to this video, I discovered Danny Janklow! What an amazing Saxophonist.
Yes !!!!! FINALLY !! WILL YOU DO EL MAŇANA???
Not sure why people dislike this version. Easily one of my favorite PMJ covers.
She is great and has a stunning voice
THIS! THIS is the kind of musical and creative talent that this world needs right now!! I'm absolutely in love with this, it's so fresh and unique, without completely disregarding the original song, really cool!
Once again I must demand a "standing ovation" button from TH-cam. Spectacular rendition of my fave Gorillaz song.
2:35 - Am I the only one who was suddenly focused on the trombonist emptying his water key?
By the way, nice job! I love this version! :)
I've never been so excited to click on a PMJ video before.
DMWilhelm me too, but it didn't pay off :/
I'd marry this song I if could. Just. LOVE it so much.
Phenomenon/WINDMILL OF GENRES IN AND OF TIMES. Finesse 🎉 ❤
Ok, so, one morning I was cooking and listening to this song and my dad walks in. He's dancing and snapping and then he looks at the video and goes "that's not Ella?" Y'all did good. You convinced my dad who listens to a fair bit of Ella that you were her.
Good God, man! Where do you find these singers? Heavenly voices in every single video...
plz do a saturn barz cover , im shore they would love
i cant stop having ideas:
anything eminem
dirty deeds done dirt cheap - ac/dc
disturb indestructible
king gizzard and lizard wizard
anything queen
Dirty Deeds! Dirty Deeds!!
THE BATH!!
Agree!
Indigo Azai *T H E B A F F*
Murdoc bass riff on feel good inc is undefeated because he got that from the devil after selling his soul.
This is my favorite cover on PMJ. I really enjoy how much fun she's having fun with the song and that's important because Feel Good Inc is an incredibly important song to me. Great work!
Me encanta el jazz y escuchar Gorillaz como jazz es como despertar una emoción dentro de mí, me encanta es un cover tan hermoso y muy agradable
It's so amazing how well this song translates to such a very different genre and style.
That might or might not be a sign that Gorillaz is one of the hip hop bands that's got some class. Not sure, but I'd buy that, Gorillaz can be pretty cool.
This video is a masterpiece in black and white.
You always have the prettiest singers and nicest set's. Movie's should hire you guy's with how good you are.
Another grand performance!
Damn, just damn. That 2:30 was beautiful. PostModern I love ya. One of my many, favorite songs, and you all did great with it.
The girl made such a good show that I had to watch the music video one more time to check if someone else was standing on the stage besides her.
Wow. I love this.
I love this. My fav song with one of my favourites types of music. Thanks
I AM STUNNED. GORGEOUS SINGING AND BEAUTIFUL ACCOMPANIMENT. ALL THAT VIBRATO WAS INTENSE. LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT.
Everyone keeps complaining about not understanding but i understand it perfectly fine. I know the lyrics so maybe that's why?? Lol either that or I'm use to the style she's singing
who is complaining?
Sitting here in gorillaz tee shirt, with their figure and albums displayed in my room and having been following them since clint eastwood, but honestly... well, its herrasy for me to say this is better, but damn did yall kill it, this is so great, so diffrent but fantatic on every level. Great work.
Oml. This is absolutely perfect. I'm in shock
I remember Thia from American Idol. Nice to see an awesome cover by her.
Can I just say how beautiful her voice is for this song? 😍❤
This is better than I could have imagined, one of if not the best of this channel
This is the typ of song to listen in the aftermath of a nuclear war fr🔥🔥
We making it outta Boulder cove with this one!!!
We gettin RAD-X with this one 🔥🔥🧟♂🧟♂
I don't have words. Best!!!
My Favorite Band, My Favorite Album!!!
She's awesome. There would be two types of reaction to this. 1. Jealously and negativity. Or 2. Appreciation and awe.
