Morgan is just insanely talented such a good story teller i never fully understood the lyrics or could hear it , but her voice is so crystal clear and i could hear every damn word , when i listned to her singing this one the first time ...............................next as others in the comment section has mentioned go for PMJ/MJ version of hoziers Take me to church, it is so good
There’s a comment on this video on the PMJ page where the commenter says they feel like the microphone would need a cigarette after this performance! I think of it every time I listen to this song, because I think we all do (or at least that feeling of needing something a little calming…). 🤣❤️🎶
I saw that comment as well. 😁 While that one was excellent, my personal favorite was by vocal coach Beth Roars where her reaction 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆, leaned back, embraced herself, smiled and said, "Her voice is a hug." The most perfect description ever. ❤💕
Great analysis as always, I just love listening the details you gave in every video. Now... you need to be taken to the church of her (she has a cover song with Postmodern Jukebok call "Take Me To Church - Piano / Vocal Hozier Cover ft. Morgan James")
Vowel shaping and power, sure, but nobody honors the lyrics likes Morgan does through those bang-on consonants. Each word is the word as written, only made art.
Your comment about Ms James stepping out like that, and your friend not, is what I call "setting the stage". There are two young, and frequently astonishing, female singer that I use to illustrate this - Miss Angelina Jordan is an exceptional vocalist, but she's all about the singing, whereas Diana Ankudinova always takes a moment to "set the stage", and afterwards pauses to give the audience a chance to absorb what they just experienced. If you haven't checked them out, I'd suggest "I put a Spell on You" and the HTB performance of "Derniére Danse", when they were 9 and 14(?), respectively.
Morgan makes me smile every time she sings. May I suggest another incredible singer in a very different genre? Listen to the band Epica with singer Simoe Sions. For a great example of her voice, listen to the song Once Upon a Nightmare live at their virtual concert, Omega Alive.
The cello player is doing an amazing job in this rendition as well, especially pizzicato he knows his craft. love your reactions wouldn't mind seeing you sing a Giacomo Puccini aria sometime :) something from la boheme or Turandot or my favorite from Ruggero Leoncavallo Vesti la giubbaLots of love from Greece stay healthy and safe and hydrate
Morgan James with the amazing Louisiana blues man Marc Broussard (big fan) sing a version of Do Right Woman, Do Right man that will blow your socks off. She is a powerhouse singer!
Thanks for doing this reaction, I was looking forward to your take after seeing your Haley Reinhardt reactions. I can really recommend Morgan and Scott doing Take Me to Church and Sweet Child 'o Mine; it's just the two of them, and they're absolutely outstanding.
Its,a must that you listen to morgan sing OH ME OH MY Aretha Franklin cover and then you will see another side to her vocals amazing. And her cover if TAKE ME TO CHURCH by Hozier is so beautiful.
Thank you for an excellent reaction/analysis. I like that Morgan James performs in videos without autotune. Her instrument is fantastic. This piece was the first one of hers, and PMJ, that I heard. She got me hooked on PMJ and on her own music. Scott Bradlee and Morgan James performed at Paste Studios. My favorite is "Take Me to Church" : ruclips.net/video/LqRFwzgiOn8/видео.html
23:45 Of all the PMJ/Morgan reactions to Dream On that I've watched, and I've watched pretty much all of them, you are the first that's pointed out that ever so subtle hum. Up until now when you confirmed it, I've questioned if she was really doing it or if I was just my imagination. 26:51 "Oh my gosh, Dude. Chills." I've listened to her performance of this song 100s of times and at some point, and not always at the same place, I get frisson. It happens a lot when listening to Morgan.
You might consider looking at both Morgan and Haley's Wiki's to learn more about their rich journey. Listening to your vocal histrionics during the performance, I find them overwhelming the vocals on the video you viewing decibel wise and while I'm not encouraging you to curb your enthusiasm for the music, you might consider adjusting your mic back a bit during the initial viewing. And while I've got you on the line, I again, considering how you feel about vocal control, you explore the musical mastery of Floor Jansen, both as a solo artist and as the singer for Nightwish. Don't remember what I recommended to you to sample, but what comes to mind today is - 2019 solo cover of Shallow (Lady Gaga) on the Dutch show Beste' Zangers (ruclips.net/video/M68pe4a_9zk/видео.htmlsi=TkiRYXzoDmutdHr2) 2013 ten months into her first appearance with Nightwish (and before her permanent placement with them) at Wacken 2013 Open Air in front of 82,000 fans, a professionally recorded show, and specifically this performance of Ghost, Love, Score (ruclips.net/video/47e_961OQWE/видео.htmlsi=adrSEO_Ldg-MqQVv). She is classically trained which is the base she operates from to control her vocals.
Thanks for this one. This was my favorite cover of Dream On until VoicePlay released theirs. It's still my favorite for vocal pyrotechnics, but VP is my favorite for the sheer emotion they bring. So now I have 2 favorites... Fun story about her. Her first big musical school was, as I recall, Interlochen. She applied and was not admitted. She contacted the admin and told them they'd made a mistake. After internal discussion, they decided to let her in on a trial basis, which of course, became a full admission. I like even that, at a young age, she knew not to take no. That drive is such an important quality in any artist! (This was from Elizabeth's interview w/ her at Charismatic Voice).
Yup, that's pretty much the story, she had the nerve to tell Julliard 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 made a mistake (well, she wasn't wrong). 😆 She has said that to this day that she doesn't know if someone dropped out and she got to fill in the vacated spot or if they made an exception and added another spot just for her.
Daniel, what about you? Would you appreciate being the vocal part for a piece of PMJ? Could imagine, that this would be also very exceptional! Would like it!
Great analysis as always. If you ever feel like listening to symphonic metal, give Nightwish a go (Ghost Love Score from Wacken 2013 will be the best for the start).
If you don't know; Morgan is Juliard trained in opera and can sing anything. She has covered Beatles to Prince and everything in between.
If I could steal anybody's voice, it'd be her. DAMN!
Morgan and Hailey singing Dear Prudence is brilliant. Give it a listen.
YES

This is one of the best performances of PMJ.
She is extremely good.

scott bradlee is a genius at finding talented people and a great pianist
Watch more of her- not just PMJ. she's one of the best singers of this era
"Maps" and "Sledgehammer"!
@@Badner83 any of her Beatles or Aretha Franklin
I was fortunate to see Morgan in concert last year. Remarkable voice, with great power coming from such a small person. Engaging in every way.
I have a feeling you liked this one. Me too! She is a master at her craft.
Great analysis as always, I just love listening the details you gave in every video. Now... you need to be taken to the church of her (she has a cover song with Postmodern Jukebok call "Take Me To Church - Piano / Vocal Hozier Cover ft. Morgan James")
This would have made an amazing James Bond theme, from any era
Morgan James phenomenal, period.
Some good songs to follow-up with Morgan include Maps (with PMJ), Baby, I Love You (with her husband), and Oh Me, Oh My (with her own band).
Vowel shaping and power, sure, but nobody honors the lyrics likes Morgan does through those bang-on consonants. Each word is the word as written, only made art.

Full body goosebumps!!

I totally agree about her cover of “Take Me To Church” with Scott Bradlee. Beautiful!

Great reaction😊😊😊

She went to Juilliard.
