Every so often someone has a performance that just transcends. This is Haley's most brilliant performance. She knocked this one out of the park. This is PMJ's very best as well. Neither will likely ever surpass this. And that's okay. They need to file away and treasure this special moment of perfection.
Post Modern Jukebox is famous for taking relatively modern songs and turning them into jazz from the '20s or '30s or '40s. They do the Aerosmith song dream on with Morgan that is incredible
nice reaction and comments. If you like hearing Haley accompanied by a trombone, I'd suggest PMJ's "Seven Nation Army" Haley, a Trombone, it's 'mute' in a N'Orleans style. The White Stripes never sounded this good. Cheers
Yeah! I had not actually heard the original until having heard PMJ/Haley do it. So to be nice, I looked up White Stripes' version. Truth? Didn't finish it. 😬 I like Bradlee's arrangement far better. Oops! 😅
@@madkow007 You guys constantly steal Haley Reinhart's thunder by bringing up Morgan James in Haley Reinhart reaction videos and even though Morgan James is not close to being in the same league with Haley Reinhart. If Morgan James was in Haley's league, she'd garner her own TH-cam views and reaction video, but she doesn't and she can't because she is not close to being on the same level as Haley Reinhart.
Haley's an incredible singer, and she definitely should have won American Idol. Her voice can be angelic and sweet or gritty and tough by turns, often within moments of one another. Throw in her incredible range, intonation, modulation, beautiful phrasing and on top of all that, her confidence and sultriness, and she's truly special.
The first time I heard this, I was stunned. I had never been so utterly mesmerized by a vocal performance EVER. After hearing it many times now, I STILL think this is one of the best vocal and instrumental songs I've ever heard. It's SO good I don't do it the dis-service of trying to explain WHY it's so good. Great reaction!
You're going to LOVE PMJ! Haley Reinhart and Morgan James are my two favorites for these collaborations. I'm so excited to go down this rabbit hole with you, Larry. I'm so happy right now.
You Morgan James fans invade and infiltrate every Haley Reinhart reaction video to try to steal Haley Reinhart's thunder away for a vocalist who is not even close to garnering nearly the TH-cam views and reaction videos as Haley Reinhart. The audacity of you wingnuts.
@@allenolivieri1773 Me too! I watch one at least once a week. Just when I think there can't be any more, another one pops up! This is the best reaction I've seen so far.
Kathy here - just found your channel. What a great song to have you react to. Haley was on American Idol, didn't win, was ashamed, as she is so talented. And I think it was because she didn't seem to be wholesome enough for the show, just like Adam Lambert. You should check out some of her performances from A. I. as she was incredible. And the look on your face when she came in with the grit and growl! LOL Priceless! And that first long note she held, and then the scatting, the laugh you made, made me laugh! And mouth open! LOL I'm 68 years old, and while I was born in 1955, I remember the Platters, all the others you named, and more. That is the music I grew up on and my parents always had music going on in the house. Thanks for such a fun and exciting review!
Thanks so much for hanging in there! I really can't believe how the channel has grown as it was really never my intension to see it turn into this. I'm really quite humbled. Thanks again for riding along!
I absolutely love this cover by Haley, and I appreciate it more with every listen. It does evoke a time when singers carefully chose their phrasing and worked to tell a story with their performance. The very cool thing about PMJ is that they bring in different singers and different musicians depending on what the song calls for. May I suggest for your next PMJ reaction, Morgan James covering Aerosmith's Dream On. You won't be disappointed. BTW, Haley and Morgan are friends and have recorded a few duets together that are worth a listen, even if only for your own pleasure.

🛑❗Rocker Harry Reinhart's daughter, she grew up in the music world surrounded with talented people. Harry has a lifelong passion for the blues and she shares it, he has mentored and encouraged her throughout her life and tho he and his friends may have opened some doors, she sailed through them and delivered !
great reaction larry. haley reinhart is one the greatest, most unique vocalist of our time. postmodern jukebox (or 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 especially with postmodern jukebox is incredible. all the other haley/pmj ones are great also: "all about the bass", "habits", "black hole sun", "mad world", "seven nations army", "oops i did it again", "lovefool" and the very recent "don't speak". 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. even when she uses very little of her unique vocal acrobatics, her pure raw soft voice is amazing like in the intro of "creep". you see this even more in her solo platinum cover of "can't help falling in love" for the extra gum commercial which is truly stunning and frequently described as what love sounds like here: (th-cam.com/video/_uNpEbt7w_o/w-d-xo.html )
I had the privilege of seeing Haley in concert in September when she was on her Midwest Tour. She is absolutely amazing live. She is a very down to earth and super sweet person as well.
I stumbled upon your channel because you were doing a reaction to this song. Haley Reinhart is an outstanding vocalist! She has a few with PMJ all are incredible!! Haley has her own music also and they all have a vintage feel. When music was amazing, you really need to go down the Haley Reinhart rabbit hole, you will enjoy every minute of it. I'm now a subscriber because your reaction was dead on! I really need to check out many more of your reactions.
From what I understand Haleys father was/is a Chicago blues studio musician and that's her background. She seems able to put a blues or jazz spin on just about everything she does I personally love her tone and clarity without all the "tricks" and runs so many try to rely on today she can hold a clean clear note without all the false vibrato that so many today use and without flippin autotune! True talent!
You have the Chicago Blues musician part right, but I wouldn't categorize Harry as a "Studio" musician. Haley gets her amazing live performance abilities from both her Dad and Mom who've played together for over 40 years in their family band, Midnight. Harry plays in several bands in the surrounding area and is well respected among working musicians there I've talked to when I've visited there to see Haley perform
@@larryshair Here's Haley and her dad at Chess Records (in Chicago) singing Can't Find My Way Home (Blind Faith cover) th-cam.com/video/omtsHEs2g0w/w-d-xo.html
Gotcha! Haley is the most versatile vocalist today. Other Haley videos to react to are, Don’t Speak, Seven Nation Army and most recently a live performance of I Put a Spell on You. th-cam.com/video/LCWwOtdf728/w-d-xo.html
I loved your reaction. The PMJ Creep video turned me on to PMJ and I love everything I have seen of theirs. After doing this video, Haley joined Morgan James and another singer (sorry, can't remember her name) to do All About that Bass (Megan Traynor). It was a gas!! You must see it. Also, review Morgan James performing Aerosmith's Dream On. It is magnificent. These are all PMJ creations. Keep up the great reactions.
I am so glad Ariana takes after her mother instead of her dad. lol. She is a beautiful young lady and an amazing singer. The two base players in the video were great also.
As a top 0.1% of Eminem listeners worldwide according to Spotify, I think it's crazy you are reacting to this because this is one of my favorite covers of all time and is regularly on my playlists.
Any PMJ with Haley or Morgan James is a MUST HEAR! Haley did a cover of No Doubt's "don't speak" w/ PMJ, 7 nation army, its all about he bass (w/ Morgan) you MUST see Morgan do DREAM ON w/ PMJ.
@@larryshair not sure, I count Angelina Jordan as Norwegian even though she lives in LA... and Diana Ankudinova is pretty amazing too, Sohyang and Lara Fabian as well... but she certainly is one of the best worldwide...
@@larryshair Agreed! Haley is my all time favorite female vocalist. She can also harmonize beautifully - check out PMJ's "All About that Bass" with Morgan James and Ariana Savalas (yes, Telly Savalas's daughter - "who loves you baby?"). p.s. You were so gobsmacked that I just had to subscribe
Will you stop. Haley recorded 3 songs that day, creep, All About That Bass and back up vocals on a third. She was ‘tired’ from a week’s worth of touring on the road as soon as she arrived. She confirmed that in a recent interview she thought not being 100% made her reach deeper for emotion that came through in the performance. Haley has NEVER needed to be persuaded to sing. This was her first professional tour, do you really think she had to be ‘persuaded’.?
Great reaction Larry! You are correct - she is an amazing vocal gymnast. You just heard a master class performance. I saw her live several months ago and it was an outstanding show.
PMJ is great, Scott on piano is the founder/arranger/etc... Haley is a goddess... She became a favorite the first time I heard her, so tallented and versitile. Scott is smart and has Haley on several of his videos. Scott also likes having Morgon James sing on his videos... Did I mention Scott is smart? Enjoy the rabbithole.
Recent find myself, a back catalogue well worth investigating. “Don’t speak” and “All about the base” are two of my favourites but this one is phenomenal.
Not just one of all-time great covers, I think it's one of the all-time best vocal performances. For me it's in the same realm as Clare Torry in "Great Gig in the Sky."
Welcome to the PMJ rabbit hole! All of Hailey's performances with them are amazing. Loved the Angelina reference, as I would love to hear an AJ/PMJ collab some day
The best performance by one of the premier vocalists performing today. IMO, one of the top tier videos, far outstripping most of the far more viewed tracks on TH-cam. AJ is much younger but started earlier than Haley and, yes, they are very much in the same wheelhouse although with different personal images. Two superb vocalists. 'a box of chocolates', exactly, every soundbite is a new flavor, surprise after surprise PMJ, yes this is stylistically what they do, this being one of their best, check them out with Haley on 7 Nation Army and with Morgan James doing Dream On, Aerosmith thanks for sharing
You also absolutely have to react to Morgan James doing Dream On with PMJ. You, my friend, are definitely going to have to go down the whole PMJ catalog rabbit hole. :)
Oh sir, wait until you hear the PMJ Haley Reinhart cover of Seven Nation Army… 👀 I never appreciated this White Stripes song until this version - hope you’ll consider reacting to it. Haley and this band and arrangement are too good! Subbing in anticipation 😊
LOVED anticipating your genuine reactions as many of the little surprises in this song were coming up. This is, in my opinion, one of the two greatest covers of all time. The other being Johnny Cash covering NiN's Hurt. I've watched both hundreds of time and never fail to tear up as both are just such emotional bombs. I realize Scott Bradlee arranged this, but I suspect Haley had a lot of input as well. She is clearly a talented arranger herself as evidenced by several of the songs she did on AI. I believe that was the first season where I really started to watch AI, and it was filled with interesting performances. What she did with Elton John's Benny and the Jets on that show was masterful as well, and worth looking for if you haven't watched it. You have a new subscriber. Looking forward to going back through your catalog, and maybe even making a few suggestions.
@@larryshair Thanks. I'm enjoying all your videos. And discovering some new artists! Thank you! I listen almost exclusively to independent artists, so I love finding new talent that I haven't heard before. And speaking of that, have you discovered Larkin Poe yet? If not, you have to start with Mad as a Hatter in The Convent Club chapel from 2015. I have a feeling you will like it a lot. These girls (two sisters from Georgia) were pretty unknown back then, but they do have quite a strong following now, and even a Grammy nomination in 2019. Not going to say any more other than I would love to see you do a reaction.
@@davidnettleton3375 thanks a lot David! I’ll be sure to put the song request on my list. The list is pretty large, but I can try and sneak in one or two here and there. Thanks my friend!
This is my current audio obsession. I've literally looked up dozens of reactions to this song and I never get tired of hearing it. I love Radiohead, but Haley and PMJ made this song their own. There is no comparison.
My favorite moment with everyone is at 9:00 -- everybody is blown away by her belting, and expects that to be it, but then she keeps going and people's brains just can't process it.
@@feasible tired, she had gone non stop as soon as she landed in Berlin on the road. In a recent interview, she said she was tired, five shows on the road, but she believed it was because she wasn't 100% it caused her to push her emotions, which came through in the video. She was not sick, there's a difference
@@feasibleHaley sang in PMJ’s 2 top videos that day, Creep and All About That Bass, and did backup singing for a third video,Style. No one in their right mind would do that if they were remotely sick. Talk about stamina.
@@larryshair Haley’s voice has a natural hoarseness to it. She even speaks with a hoarse voice. But don’t let that fool you. She can hit pretty high notes also. Her rendition of I put a spell on you is a prime example. th-cam.com/video/LCWwOtdf728/w-d-xo.html
Haley IS Jessica Rabbit! While touring with PMJ in 2015, she recorded 7 or 8 videos. PMJ's specialty is recasting modern songs in a style that was popular during the mid 20th century. Your follow-up reaction should be their reinvention ("cover" doesn't describe what Scott Bradlee does with a song!) of The White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army" ( th-cam.com/video/sB6HY8r983c/w-d-xo.html ). This one's done in the style of a New Orleans dirge. ---------- PMJ uses many vocalists and draws musicians (mostly acoustic) from a pool of excellent performers...so every video has a different feel to it. The only thing you can count on is that the end result will be fascinating! PMJ's restylings are SO different from the originals that it's a good idea to go back and listen to the original before discovering what PMJ does to it!
Haley was on the 10th season of American Idol. It was also the season where everyone realized the results for every season were fixed ahead of time. She was clearly the best performer but was constantly sabotaged by the judges to knock her out of the competition.
This is, indeed, their schtick. Scott Bradlee is a fine-but-not-mind-blowing pianist, but he's an absolute genius at two things: arranging, and finding the right people to perform his arrangements. There are some good suggestions here already, but let me add: _Royals_ (Lourde), Featuring Puddles, the Sad Clown with the Golden Voice.
This is PMJ's second cover of this song. They did an earlier version with a different vocalist. In the following video Scott Bradlee, during an interview, talks about PMJ's creation of their version of Creep and how and why Haley did this video in ONE take. th-cam.com/video/MskKSH1Kf4U/w-d-xo.html
Ok so I loved her on American idol. When she didn’t win I almost quit watching lol. But I’ve kinda followed her ever since. She is fantastic. I’ve got a girl crush for sure. I could listen to pmj all day. This is a fun rabbit hole. Enjoy.
All the PMJ songs are well done. You can't go wrong with any of them. Haley is in many. But their cover of Aerosmith's 'Dream On' will give you chills. It's different singer named Morgan James (who also teams up w/ Haley in their cover of 'All About That Bass').
vocalocity...it's like being hit by a speeding vocal punch. Haley just full of awesomeness. Displaying 13 of the 9 human vocal techniques. Always have to watch what Haley does with her eyes, hands, body motions; she can truly tale a story just with her performance. " Black Hole Sun", "Love Fool", "Don't Speak", "Seven Nation Army", "Oops I Did it Again" all with Haley and PMJ. PMJ uses several fantastic singers with other songs but Haley and one Morgan James are my favs. (Morgan and PMJ "Dream On") Great reaction here man!
Post Modern Jukebox is an amazing rabbit hole to wander down. I highly recommend you react to their cover of Aerosmith's Dream On, featuring Morgan James. She is great, and I would suggest that her cover of Maroon 5's song, Maps, also with Post Modern Jukebox, is something well worth reacting to.
I had a similar reaction, Larry. Haley Reinhart has the kind of definitive musical vision for a song that one sees in Angelina Jordan or Frank Sinatra. The arrangement is killer as well. Radiohead did well in writing this song, and their version is great, but this is my definitive version. Great reaction LH!
examples of female singers with rasp , janis joplin , stevie nicks , bonnie tyler,, just a few of many ! and there have been a lot , haley is one of them , the elite!
Haley is amazing! She has done a number of songs with PMJ. I would suggest the next one to check out would be Don’t Speak. When she performs with Casey Abrams (co-contestant on AI), they make magic happen! Her rendition of I Who Have Nothing on AI was chilling. She was treated badly by AI.
PMJ did a classic with Puddles Pity Party that is well worth seeing, Chris. Also The other version of "Creep" I like id Mimi and Josi on The Voice Kids - Germany.
Haley just got in to the studio after a long flight and THIS was the FIRST TAKE! You mentioned Angelina.... sure.... as good as it gets... Ella.... the best ever.... but IMHO, Haley is ALSO as good as it GETS!
Haley is basically perfect vocals from what I have heard so far. Angelina has such a wife variety of styles, you never know what you'll encounter with her. Both of them have stunning vocals! I would love to see the two of them collaborate. Could you imagine???
"Creep" was recorded a week after Haley landed in Berlin for her first show w/ PMJ. This was Haley's very first professional tour after American Idol. They were on the road for five shows until their day off in Switzerland... It really is quite amazing how people change the story from PMJ having to 'beg' Haley to sing (this was her first ever tour & they had to beg her?) , to her recording their biggest hit on her first ever professional tour right off the plane.... I made a quick synopsis video of the week from landing in Berlin of her first show to a week later in Switzerland, if it helps stopping the spread of 'made up' stories about this performance: th-cam.com/video/eVASTaIoTYw/w-d-xo.html
also what is even more impressive is that this masterpiece was actually completed in one take with a tired voice and all but one of the postmodern jukebox covers are done live with no auto-tune, etc more info in links below: here is the history of "creep" one take from scott bradlee (the creator and pianist from postmodern jukebox): th-cam.com/video/MskKSH1Kf4U/w-d-xo.html. here is additional history on haley and "creep" from #1 fan haleyTusk (even has a color pic of her from that day): th-cam.com/video/eVASTaIoTYw/w-d-xo.html
Scott Bradlee is the founder and arranger, etc., for PMJ. He uses a stable of musicians and singers who do these covers of modern songs done in a 30, 40s, 50s genre. Recommend PMJ featuring Morgan James doing "Dream On", it also is killer. Haley and Morgan do a lot with PMJ and they do several together. Enjoy...all I would ask is be careful where you make your stops..you miss some of the vocal fun that way...good luck.
PMJ brought us Haley, Morgan James and many more wonderful vocalists.......Scott Bradlee, the pianist, does the arrangements and the band is top notch ! .......... straight outta 1950's Tin Pan Alley
Your my new fav reactor!! Can only say welcome to Haleyville! Long time for me, I was there at first American Audition. On PMJ again welcome to growing crowd. Maybe see PMJ "BYE BYE BYE" a good springboard into the Pinnacle studio regulars.

nice reaction and comments. If you like hearing Haley accompanied by a trombone, I'd suggest PMJ's "Seven Nation Army" Haley, a Trombone, it's 'mute' in a N'Orleans style. The White Stripes never sounded this good. Cheers
Yep! "Seven Nation Army" ( th-cam.com/video/sB6HY8r983c/w-d-xo.html ) should be your 2nd exposure to PMJ with Haley as the vocalist.
I strongly support this suggestion! Seven Nation Army is epic...

It's not in this style. This is 40;'s jazz, their version of Don't Speak is 60's pop. Absolutely amazing, of course, just not the same style.
Everyone is so caught off guard! There’s a moment of processing, a moment of disbelief, then complete adoration❤

She seems able to put a blues or jazz spin on just about everything she does I personally love her tone and clarity without all the "tricks" and runs so many try to rely on today she can hold a clean clear note without all the false vibrato that so many today use and without flippin autotune! True talent!
You have the Chicago Blues musician part right, but I wouldn't categorize Harry as a "Studio" musician. Haley gets her amazing live performance abilities from both her Dad and Mom who've played together for over 40 years in their family band, Midnight. Harry plays in several bands in the surrounding area and is well respected among working musicians there I've talked to when I've visited there to see Haley perform
Nice back story, thanks!
Love it!
@@larryshair Here's Haley and her dad at Chess Records (in Chicago) singing Can't Find My Way Home (Blind Faith cover) th-cam.com/video/omtsHEs2g0w/w-d-xo.html
@@jgold78 I have seen that and going to go watch it again right now thank you so much for reminding me of that one!! Lol
Haley was a local girl fresh out of high school when she was on American Idol, and there were watch parties all over town every week.
POSTMODERN JUKEBOX IS TOURING RIGHT NOW!
Gotcha! Haley is the most versatile vocalist today.
Other Haley videos to react to are, Don’t Speak, Seven Nation Army and most recently a live performance of I Put a Spell on You.
th-cam.com/video/LCWwOtdf728/w-d-xo.html
I loved your reaction. The PMJ Creep video turned me on to PMJ and I love everything I have seen of theirs. After doing this video, Haley joined Morgan James and another singer (sorry, can't remember her name) to do All About that Bass (Megan Traynor). It was a gas!! You must see it. Also, review Morgan James performing Aerosmith's Dream On. It is magnificent. These are all PMJ creations. Keep up the great reactions.
The other singer is Ariana Savalas, the youngest daughter of the late Telly Savalas.
Thank you. All three ladies did a great job.
I am so glad Ariana takes after her mother instead of her dad. lol. She is a beautiful young lady and an amazing singer.
The two base players in the video were great also.
Isn’t she just fabulous! 🥰
As a top 0.1% of Eminem listeners worldwide according to Spotify, I think it's crazy you are reacting to this because this is one of my favorite covers of all time and is regularly on my playlists.
Man, I can see why! I was speechless. What an incredible all-around great performance.
She is phenomenal.
Any PMJ with Haley or Morgan James is a MUST HEAR! Haley did a cover of No Doubt's "don't speak" w/ PMJ, 7 nation army, its all about he bass (w/ Morgan) you MUST see Morgan do DREAM ON w/ PMJ.
As someone said in another reaction to this, she uses 23 of the 9 known vocal techniques known to man
Thanks so much for this Chris. Once again you’ve brought a previously unknown singer to me and I’m blown away at her cover of this song! Wow!
Isn't she great? We'll have to jump into more of her content, for sure.
Best female vocals in the US...
Nope. The world.
@@larryshair not sure, I count Angelina Jordan as Norwegian even though she lives in LA... and Diana Ankudinova is pretty amazing too, Sohyang and Lara Fabian as well... but she certainly is one of the best worldwide...
@@larryshair Agreed! Haley is my all time favorite female vocalist. She can also harmonize beautifully - check out PMJ's "All About that Bass" with Morgan James and Ariana Savalas (yes, Telly Savalas's daughter - "who loves you baby?"). p.s. You were so gobsmacked that I just had to subscribe
@@Hundhammer morrisette amon
@@TGrimm true, and Katrina Velarde, and Gidget de la Llana... :)
She had a sore throat when she sang this, she wasn't going to sing but the band persuaded her to give it a go.
Will you stop. Haley recorded 3 songs that day, creep, All About That Bass and back up vocals on a third. She was ‘tired’ from a week’s worth of touring on the road as soon as she arrived.
She confirmed that in a recent interview she thought not being 100% made her reach deeper for emotion that came through in the performance.
Haley has NEVER needed to be persuaded to sing. This was her first professional tour, do you really think she had to be ‘persuaded’.?
Out of this world beautiful. Haley was amazing in every sense of the word. Just gorgeous!
Great reaction Larry! You are correct - she is an amazing vocal gymnast. You just heard a master class performance. I saw her live several months ago and it was an outstanding show.
I’ve heard a couple others from Postmodern Jukebox. This is incredible! You looked like you were in heaven!! Great reaction, Chris.
This was my intro to PMJ, & I just love them! They do such great arrangements (rearrangements)… such as a klezmer version of Talk Dirty To Me.
👍👍👍 love her and postmodern jukebox rocks. check her out in Seven Nation Army & All About the Bass
Welcome to the Postmoderm Jukebox cover. Depending on the song, the style change.
This is Haley stating that she is a world class vocal athlete!
PMJ is great, Scott on piano is the founder/arranger/etc... Haley is a goddess... She became a favorite the first time I heard her, so tallented and versitile. Scott is smart and has Haley on several of his videos. Scott also likes having Morgon James sing on his videos... Did I mention Scott is smart? Enjoy the rabbithole.
Recent find myself, a back catalogue well worth investigating. “Don’t speak” and “All about the base” are two of my favourites but this one is phenomenal.
Not just one of all-time great covers, I think it's one of the all-time best vocal performances. For me it's in the same realm as Clare Torry in "Great Gig in the Sky."
Welcome to the PMJ rabbit hole!
All of Hailey's performances with them are amazing.
Loved the Angelina reference, as I would love to hear an AJ/PMJ collab some day
The best performance by one of the premier vocalists performing today. IMO, one of the top tier videos, far outstripping most of the far more viewed tracks on TH-cam.
AJ is much younger but started earlier than Haley and, yes, they are very much in the same wheelhouse although with different personal images. Two superb vocalists.
'a box of chocolates', exactly, every soundbite is a new flavor, surprise after surprise
PMJ, yes this is stylistically what they do, this being one of their best, check them out with Haley on 7 Nation Army and with Morgan James doing Dream On, Aerosmith
thanks for sharing
You also absolutely have to react to Morgan James doing Dream On with PMJ. You, my friend, are definitely going to have to go down the whole PMJ catalog rabbit hole. :)
toss up between this and seven nation army. she nails both
Same thing Tony Bennet said to Lady GaGa , “ I don’t know if you knew it but YOU ARE A JAZZ SINGER”! Same with Haley.
Great reaction. As usual anyone reacting to this superstar (should be more known to the public) gets a subscription. Tnx!
Post Modern Jukebox - What is love
She is one of my favorites for sure.Haley Reinhart performs with her dad at Chess Records in Chicago is a must watch, so good.
Oh sir, wait until you hear the PMJ Haley Reinhart cover of Seven Nation Army… 👀
I never appreciated this White Stripes song until this version - hope you’ll consider reacting to it. Haley and this band and arrangement are too good! Subbing in anticipation 😊
LOVED anticipating your genuine reactions as many of the little surprises in this song were coming up. This is, in my opinion, one of the two greatest covers of all time. The other being Johnny Cash covering NiN's Hurt. I've watched both hundreds of time and never fail to tear up as both are just such emotional bombs. I realize Scott Bradlee arranged this, but I suspect Haley had a lot of input as well. She is clearly a talented arranger herself as evidenced by several of the songs she did on AI. I believe that was the first season where I really started to watch AI, and it was filled with interesting performances. What she did with Elton John's Benny and the Jets on that show was masterful as well, and worth looking for if you haven't watched it.
You have a new subscriber. Looking forward to going back through your catalog, and maybe even making a few suggestions.
Glad to have you along for the ride down the Rabbit Hole!
@@larryshair Thanks. I'm enjoying all your videos. And discovering some new artists! Thank you! I listen almost exclusively to independent artists, so I love finding new talent that I haven't heard before. And speaking of that, have you discovered Larkin Poe yet? If not, you have to start with Mad as a Hatter in The Convent Club chapel from 2015. I have a feeling you will like it a lot. These girls (two sisters from Georgia) were pretty unknown back then, but they do have quite a strong following now, and even a Grammy nomination in 2019. Not going to say any more other than I would love to see you do a reaction.
@@davidnettleton3375 thanks a lot David! I’ll be sure to put the song request on my list. The list is pretty large, but I can try and sneak in one or two here and there. Thanks my friend!
She did a cover of 7 Nations Army by the White Strips that is equally amazing, IMHO.
This is my current audio obsession. I've literally looked up dozens of reactions to this song and I never get tired of hearing it. I love Radiohead, but Haley and PMJ made this song their own. There is no comparison.
My favorite moment with everyone is at 9:00 -- everybody is blown away by her belting, and expects that to be it, but then she keeps going and people's brains just can't process it.
Also, if you didn't see it in the description of the original video, this was the FIRST TAKE. That's how good she is.
And she was sick.
@@feasible tired, she had gone non stop as soon as she landed in Berlin on the road. In a recent interview, she said she was tired, five shows on the road, but she believed it was because she wasn't 100% it caused her to push her emotions, which came through in the video. She was not sick, there's a difference
@@feasibleHaley sang in PMJ’s 2 top videos that day, Creep and All About That Bass, and did backup singing for a third video,Style. No one in their right mind would do that if they were remotely sick.
Talk about stamina.
Perhaps that's where the bit of hoarseness in her vocals was more prevalent. I'll have to keep my ears open on other songs for sure.
@@larryshair Haley’s voice has a natural hoarseness to it. She even speaks with a hoarse voice.
But don’t let that fool you. She can hit pretty high notes also.
Her rendition of I put a spell on you is a prime example.
th-cam.com/video/LCWwOtdf728/w-d-xo.html
So here is one for you. Post Modern Jukebox cover of Mad World, featuring Haley and Puddles.
Haley IS Jessica Rabbit! While touring with PMJ in 2015, she recorded 7 or 8 videos. PMJ's specialty is recasting modern songs in a style that was popular during the mid 20th century. Your follow-up reaction should be their reinvention ("cover" doesn't describe what Scott Bradlee does with a song!) of The White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army" ( th-cam.com/video/sB6HY8r983c/w-d-xo.html ). This one's done in the style of a New Orleans dirge.
----------
PMJ uses many vocalists and draws musicians (mostly acoustic) from a pool of excellent performers...so every video has a different feel to it. The only thing you can count on is that the end result will be fascinating! PMJ's restylings are SO different from the originals that it's a good idea to go back and listen to the original before discovering what PMJ does to it!
Haley was on the 10th season of American Idol. It was also the season where everyone realized the results for every season were fixed ahead of time. She was clearly the best performer but was constantly sabotaged by the judges to knock her out of the competition.
This IS their shtick and feel free to do more!!
More PMJ. More Haley! (I love her cover of Don't Speak with PMJ)
The guy on cello is Casey Abrams who was on the same season of American idol as Haley
Her song, 7 nations army is amazing as well.
This is, indeed, their schtick.
Scott Bradlee is a fine-but-not-mind-blowing pianist, but he's an absolute genius at two things: arranging, and finding the right people to perform his arrangements.
There are some good suggestions here already, but let me add: _Royals_ (Lourde), Featuring Puddles, the Sad Clown with the Golden Voice.
She was sick with sore throat and didn’t think she she could do it and she ended up doing this in one take
This is PMJ's second cover of this song. They did an earlier version with a different vocalist. In the following video Scott Bradlee, during an interview, talks about PMJ's creation of their version of Creep and how and why Haley did this video in ONE take.
th-cam.com/video/MskKSH1Kf4U/w-d-xo.html
Ok so I loved her on American idol. When she didn’t win I almost quit watching lol. But I’ve kinda followed her ever since. She is fantastic. I’ve got a girl crush for sure. I could listen to pmj all day. This is a fun rabbit hole. Enjoy.
My favorite is Haley doing Seven Nation Army and then All About That Base.
All the PMJ songs are well done. You can't go wrong with any of them. Haley is in many. But their cover of Aerosmith's 'Dream On' will give you chills. It's different singer named Morgan James (who also teams up w/ Haley in their cover of 'All About That Bass').
vocalocity...it's like being hit by a speeding vocal punch. Haley just full of awesomeness. Displaying 13 of the 9 human vocal techniques. Always have to watch what Haley does with her eyes, hands, body motions; she can truly tale a story just with her performance. " Black Hole Sun", "Love Fool", "Don't Speak", "Seven Nation Army", "Oops I Did it Again" all with Haley and PMJ. PMJ uses several fantastic singers with other songs but Haley and one Morgan James are my favs. (Morgan and PMJ "Dream On") Great reaction here man!
🕴️Best torch singer since Sara Vaughn and Julie London.
Post Modern Jukebox is an amazing rabbit hole to wander down. I highly recommend you react to their cover of Aerosmith's Dream On, featuring Morgan James. She is great, and I would suggest that her cover of Maroon 5's song, Maps, also with Post Modern Jukebox, is something well worth reacting to.
Haley puts on a clinic with this performance. Best ever!
I had a similar reaction, Larry. Haley Reinhart has the kind of definitive musical vision for a song that one sees in Angelina Jordan or Frank Sinatra. The arrangement is killer as well. Radiohead did well in writing this song, and their version is great, but this is my definitive version. Great reaction LH!
examples of female singers with rasp , janis joplin , stevie nicks , bonnie tyler,, just a few of many ! and there have been a lot , haley is one of them , the elite!
Agreed!
Haley is amazing! She has done a number of songs with PMJ. I would suggest the next one to check out would be Don’t Speak. When she performs with Casey Abrams (co-contestant on AI), they make magic happen! Her rendition of I Who Have Nothing on AI was chilling. She was treated badly by AI.
"Casey" Abrams :-)
Casey Abrams
@@agwyvern spell check got me! Fixing it now.
That one with Jeff Goldblum and the orchestra too.
PMJ did a classic with Puddles Pity Party that is well worth seeing, Chris. Also The other version of "Creep" I like id Mimi and Josi on The Voice Kids - Germany.
Haley just got in to the studio after a long flight and THIS was the FIRST TAKE!
You mentioned Angelina.... sure.... as good as it gets... Ella.... the best ever.... but IMHO, Haley is ALSO as good as it GETS!
Haley is basically perfect vocals from what I have heard so far. Angelina has such a wife variety of styles, you never know what you'll encounter with her. Both of them have stunning vocals! I would love to see the two of them collaborate. Could you imagine???
"Creep" was recorded a week after Haley landed in Berlin for her first show w/ PMJ. This was Haley's very first professional tour after American Idol.
They were on the road for five shows until their day off in Switzerland...
It really is quite amazing how people change the story from PMJ having to 'beg' Haley to sing (this was her first ever tour & they had to beg her?) , to her recording their biggest hit on her first ever professional tour right off the plane....
I made a quick synopsis video of the week from landing in Berlin of her first show to a week later in Switzerland, if it helps stopping the spread of 'made up' stories about this performance: th-cam.com/video/eVASTaIoTYw/w-d-xo.html
Check out Post Modern Jukebox featuring Morgan James doing Aerosmith's Dream On. It's fantastic.
also what is even more impressive is that this masterpiece was actually completed in one take with a tired voice and all but one of the postmodern jukebox covers are done live with no auto-tune, etc more info in links below:
here is the history of "creep" one take from scott bradlee (the creator and pianist from postmodern jukebox): th-cam.com/video/MskKSH1Kf4U/w-d-xo.html.
here is additional history on haley and "creep" from #1 fan haleyTusk (even has a color pic of her from that day): th-cam.com/video/eVASTaIoTYw/w-d-xo.html
Seven Nation Army is another PMJ with Haley, that is so good.
Scott Bradlee is the founder and arranger, etc., for PMJ. He uses a stable of musicians and singers who do these covers of modern songs done in a 30, 40s, 50s genre. Recommend PMJ featuring Morgan James doing "Dream On", it also is killer. Haley and Morgan do a lot with PMJ and they do several together. Enjoy...all I would ask is be careful where you make your stops..you miss some of the vocal fun that way...good luck.
One of PMJ’s newer productions is a cover of Miley’s song Flowers- personal opinion, I like it better than the original! Just amazing!
PMJ brought us Haley, Morgan James and many more wonderful vocalists.......Scott Bradlee, the pianist, does the arrangements and the band is top notch ! .......... straight outta 1950's Tin Pan Alley
Told you that you’d like this. Not a bad PMJ song, they’re all phenomenal!
Not really. Only the ones featuring Haley Reinhart. All others pale in comparison.
@@bullfrog5037You're really a hardcore fan, hm? I bet Haley would not appreciate your aggressive attitude... relax...
@@tanjakaiser7432 I couldn't give a flip what you think or bet. As a termite obviously has more brain power than you do.
Your my new fav reactor!! Can only say welcome to Haleyville! Long time for me, I was there at first American Audition. On PMJ again welcome to growing crowd. Maybe see PMJ "BYE BYE BYE" a good springboard into the Pinnacle studio regulars.
Thanks so much!
You will want to see Post Modern Jukebox featuring Morgan James doing Aerosmith's Dream On.
Be sure to play this on good speakers to have the full body effect
This is by now officially the most reacted-to video on TH-cam!
I can totally see why!
