    I had the same feeling when I first watched and listened to this performance. Totally mind-blowing. Then I got into all of Morgan James's music. Very worthwhile. She's a major talent, and a really cool person. Should be world-famous. But she decided to make good music rather than "play the game" with record companies. She chose art over mega-stardom. Massive respect.

    2:16 That's called frisson - a sudden, passing sensation of excitement; a shudder of emotion; thrill. It happens a lot when you listen to Morgan James. LOVE HER!!!
    I LOVE your reaction!!! This is how I feel listening to Morgan James all the time.
    The first time I heard this cover I just couldn't get Steven Tyler's voice out of my head. It wasn't until I listened for the third time that I could truly appreciate Morgan's cover. Now I'm like, "Steve who??? Oh, isn't he that guy that covers Dream On?" JK of course, no disrespect to Steven at all.
    Morgan studied opera at Julliard and has played on Broadway. She has her own band and is married to the guitar player, Doug Wamble. She also is an indy under Hedonist Records LLC.
    If I may suggest, check these songs from Morgan out as well.

    I looked up Morgan James on Wiki looks like she has been singing in Broadway shows and now is moonlighting as a solo artist... Also welcome to the wonderful world of PMJ,.
    Postmodern Jukebox, also widely known by the acronym PMJ, is a rotating musical collective founded by arranger and pianist Scott Bradlee in 2011. PMJ is known for reworking popular modern music into different vintage genres, especially early 20th century forms such as swing and jazz. Postmodern Jukebox has amassed over 1.4 billion TH-cam views and 4 million subscribers.

      You have it backwards!!! She has been a solo artist for 8+ years. First with a major Label who dropped her after the release of her 1st Original Music Album (and a previously released Live recording of her Tribute concert to Nina Simone)
      She then went Independent! Releasing two Original Albums (Reckless Abandon and this year Memphis Magnetic) and two Cover Albums (Joni Mitchell's "Blue" and The Beatles "White") She Also conceived and recorded a Cover of "Jesus Christ Superstar" - She is Risen" featuring an all Female Castthat she is releasing in short Volumns.
      When not touring/doing her own music she "moonlights" doing (Broadway) Orchestral Performances!

During this quarantine she and her husband (Doug Wamble an amazing guitarist) have created about 100 covers and uploaded them to TH-cam. They have done Stageit concerts every Saturday and most previous Wednesdays. The Stageit concerts by Morgan and Doug are amazing. The sound, the songs, the stories all add up to an amazing experience. Check out her TH-cam channel, she has all of her original albums there plus she has done covers of complete albums, Including Joni Mitchell's Blue album, the Beatles White Album, all on her channel.

    Scott Bradlee is the creator of Post Modern Jukebox. He is also the pianist creates the great arrangements you hear sung. The group cycles through a wide variety of singers from song to song and show to show. They were actually touring Europe and the USA at the same time with two completely different groups of musicians and singers. I've seen them multiple times and have never felt like I was getting a 2nd teir performance.

    When I first saw Morgan on PMJ a few years back I thought why do I know her?! It's because we're the same age and lived in the same areas growing up and we just never attended the same school. She's perpetually been that girl that looks familiar. Now she just reminds me of how old I'm getting. She's a wonderful singer and favors soul music. She put out several covers on her personal channel during the lockdown.

    Honey... Welcome to the rabbit hole of Morgan James! She is amazing!! Postmodern Jukebox is an amazing band collective that was created by Scott Bradlee (in his small NYC apartment no less!). He has different singers that come in and sing songs/videos. Some singers feature with him several times, some only once. There are endless songs to explore!! Morgan has featured many times with the PMJ. a few you should check out:
    1. Maps
    2. Barbie Girl
    3. All About The Bass (which feature some of his best singers, Haley Reinhart, Ariana Savalas, and Casey Bassey)
    4, Jealous
    5. Really Don't Care (Woo, she really makes this one an anthem!)
    6. And Who Wants to Live Forever ( will absolutely end YOU!!)
    7. Take Me To Church
    8. It's a Man's World
    9. Break Free
    I will add that although she has sung with PMJ, she is a phenomenal solo artist with 3 great albums (most recent being Memphis Magnetic). Girl, you are the start of discovering an absolutely tour de force of voice in Morgan James! And this will make ya even sicker, she is as nice and classy when ya meet her.

On a similar note, there's a cover group called Scary Pockets that does wonderful funk versions of popular songs. I mention them because their funk version of Creep, performed by singer India Carney, is one of my favorite Creep covers on TH-cam (almost as good as Haley Reinhart's Postmodern Jukebox Creep cover!) Also, thanks for showing us your goosebumps!!! So many reactors say they've got 'em, but you're the only one who proves it!!!!

    So Morgan was your introduction to Postmodern Jukebox? Well... that'll get ya for sure, she and Haley (and several others) will both reach deep into your soul and scramble everything inside till you're like dough in the hands of a master baker.
    Postmodern Jukebox is a breath of.. fresh? old? air... good air anyway.
    They also introduced many an amazing musician and singer to us, showing us all what modern hits could've sounded like 40, 50, 60 or 100 years ago and it always is rock solid.
    And it seems to work for all generations too, from young to old.. anyone with a musical bone in them seems to like what they do.
    My own mother for instance who is at the lovely age of 82 is an absolute fan of Morgan and Haley and tells me quite often that those two young ladies have some of the best voices she ever heard in her life, and at her age.. she heard a few so to speak.
    Even my dad (age 81) who isnt much into music other than Mario Lanza and Queen (yes weirdass combination, i know), enjoys both these ladies and i catch him playing their music quite often.
    Anyway, loving the content and i'll be exploring more of your channel, ty for the react Maunalee :)

    Maunalee - first time seeing one of your reaction videos and I appreciate that you didn't interrupt the piece to put your two bits in. First time I heard this I got the goosebumps too. Morgan James is just one of the great artists - instrumentalists and vocalists - that Scott Bradlee has been able to get together to do fantastic covers with pure style and excellence. I'm talking even weird stuff like a cover of Pinky and the Brain. They have a way to spoil you for the original.
    May I suggest another piece for a reaction? Johnny Cash doing a cover of Nine Inch Nails "Hurt". It's blow my mind material.

    Thank you for having me, and welcome to the world of PMJ!!! It means SO MUCH to relive seeing these artists for the first time through someone else's eyes, I was almost in tears just now!
    PMJ is a collective of rotating artists and singers, but IMHO Haley and Morgan stand head and shoulders above the rest and all of their songs deserve a reaction.
    It has been said that their version of "CREEP" feat. Haley Reinhart is what put PMJ on the map. (over 80m views, so it's hard to argue that point.)
    Morgan's version of Maroon 5's "MAPS" is absolutely better than the original! (Sorry Adam.)
    Her version of Hozier's "TAKE ME TO CHURCH" will definitely take you there!
    Meghan Trainor's "ALL ABOUT THAT BASS" and Demi Lovato's "I REALLY DON'T CARE" are really fun arrangements that will definitely put a smile on your face throughout. During one of those two songs, Morgan is actually upstaged! (If you can believe that.
    THANK YOU!!! from a new subscriber, Please react to these songs AND MANY MORE from PMJ(fill that playlist) I absolutely enjoyed your reaction! It was genuine and it just took me back to the very first time I discovered these songs, I felt like we were together in front of a laptop, falling down a TH-cam rabbit hole...now I must go back and watch the rest of your videos!

    Have you seen her rendition of Maps? Or of Really Don't Care? Or Break Free? I think those three and this are Morgan at her absolute best.
    Oh, and welcome to the world of PMJ!

    I am so glad that you have found the stunning Morgan James. I have been a fan of hers for a couple of years, and can't get enough. Interestingly enough, about six months ago, my brother called me to ask if I had heard of her. I said, "Welcome to the party Pal." Since then, he has seen her in concert and photographed her in performance. She liked the photographs so much that she posted them on her web site. She has made many videos with PMJ, but she has many more that were done elsewhere. TH-cam is filled with them. Now, let's discuss PMJ, how I discovered her in the first place. The guy on piano is Scott Bradlee, the creator, and arranger for the incredible collective of musicians in and around NYC. This collective also features vocalists from the ninth dimension. I suggest that you see their "All About That Base" video, featuring Morgan on the right, Haley Reinhart in the center, and Ariana Savalas (yes, Telly Savalas's youngest daughter) on the left. This is the only version of the song that I can stand to listen to. So enjoy, and while you are at it, also check out Collective Cadenza, a collective similar to PMJ, but with a little more humor involved. They might have disbanded by now, but I just don't know. Smiles !!!!!

    The first time I heard Morgan sing this song I had the exact same reaction as you. Morgan’s a Juilliard graduate and she has many amazing songs. I love her too. Btw I’ve lived in the Denver area for most of my life, I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. I hope you are loving it here. I know you will love Red Rocks.

    Hehehehe! Man, are you in for a wild ride. I've never heard a bad PMJ cover. :) If you want a fun one, check out PMJ with Hailey Reinhart and Puddles Pity Party doing "Mad World." Don't let the big, sad clown creep you out. He can hold his own with the rest of the PMJ soloists.

    Awesome reaction. Morgan is truly a powerhouse. PMJ with Haley Reinhart, Morgan James and Ariana Savalas Covers “All about that base”. It has over 50 million views
    You’ll love this one.

  • @lylecosmopolite
    @lylecosmopolite 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Postmodern Jukebox is a small instrument group whose instrumentalists vary, except one: Scott Bradley on the piano. He also creates the arrangements. PMJ backs a variety of women singers who cover a variety of songs from Classic Rock. Two standouts are Haley Reinhart and Morgan James. James is the best blue eyed soul singer since Amy Winehouse died in 2011. She is also classically trained, which explains how a woman as petite as her can belt it out as she does.

    I saw this when you did it the first time and I’ve enjoyed most of your reactions (don’t always agree with you, but I love your honesty and it’s always fun to watch your reactions). But today, I wanted to treat myself and I went back to see when you first found “your people”… Saw your first beautiful, timid steps walking into heaven. That was awesome

    She has done a full album cover of The Beatles' "White Album". There is also a TH-cam video going through all the songs. Throughout the pandemic, she has also been posting stripped down covers of all kinds of songs under the tag quarantunes with her husband and guitarist Doug Wamble.

    Hope you've since looked her up. I found her through PMJ and since followed her indie records. She's been classically trained at Julliard has been on Broadway and was the first person to have Prince's blessing to cover one of his songs (Call my name) She's so down to earth too. Her and her husband have been doing quarantunes on her FB page the past few months and its unbelievable. She is my Queen lol

  • @smithbros1000
    @smithbros1000 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Morgan James is prolific. I have 26 videos in my Morgan James playlist; there are bunches more out there. She does covers only, but she makes every one of them very much her own. (I guess that makes her a "song stylist.") This video is the first one I ever saw from her. Obviously, I became an instant fan.

    • @gaylewest3663
      @gaylewest3663 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Are you still in the dark regarding her albums? Starting with Hunter, most of the songs have been written by Morgan or they have been collaborations. Her latest video with Ryan Shaw ,
      "I don't mind waking up to a love this good" is one of the best love songs in this century.

    And, you got paid for having that experience. My condolences on falling down the PMJ rabbit hole. As you can see from the number of other suggestions here in the comments there are hundreds of videos posted by Scott Bradlee's ensemble. Of course those featuring the sublime Haley Reinhart are leading the way, but my favorite of a lessor know PMJ performer is Niia.
    Perhaps this has been mentioned already, she has performed on Broadway, and you can also view more of her on her TH-cam channel. There is even a duet with her and Haley doing a cover of the Beatles 'Prudence' to enjoy.
