I agree! Not only does Haley have a cool and unique sound to her voice, she's got some amazing chops as well. She's also one of my favorite vocalists. Honestly, I think the only reason she's underrated these days is because her solo stuff leans way more "adult contemporary" than the stuff featuring her that goes viral. I've watched a lot of her live performances (including the ones with her dad and the ones she and Casey Abrams did together) and she always slays, but whenever I try to dive into her actual albums... she's good and they're well produced but the music itself is very middle of the road. And while I *appreciate* what she's doing vocally on her albums, I generally don't return to them after a first listen and can't imagine the public-at-large getting very excited about them. Personally, I'd love to see her try an album that's a little more rock-oriented or something because I feel like it would suit her voice and personality more, especially if she flavored it with some of her bluesy and/or jazzy vibes. All that is to say that I think Haley is awesome, I evangelize for Haley and Morgan James whenever the chance arises, but at this point I think it's the writing on Haley's solo albums that's keeping her under most people's radar. I mean, it certainly isn't her vocal talent that's keeping her from being huge. Whatever it is, I'd love to see Haley bust through that barrier so more people come to realize just how talented she really is. Morgan too, honestly.
Well underrrated maybe. I meen shes only one Feet tall :D But joking, all this girls are great, Postmodern Jukebox was the best thing i ever Discovered on the Internet
Haley is not just any singer she is a master vocal technician that can wow you with every single vocal expression known to man without any effort and complete control
She not only blew every other cover out of the water. She blew Radiohead out of the water. This is like a repeat of Johnny Cash's version of Hurt. It's his now. This is Haley's song now.
@@saltydroog854 could not agree more, however, without the original there is no cover and Haley probably would not be singing it. So some credit still belongs to them, even if Haley did it better
When people comment on my videos of Haley singing Creep live, a number of them will say this interpretation of "Creep" doesn't reflect the true meaning of the lyrics....that the song is about someone self loathing, so much so they can't approach their object of desire, and that Haley is too pretty or attractive to truly understand the song, which is ridiculous, it's like saying 'pretty people' don't get depressed because their life is perfect... Here's the rub, no matter how rich you are, people are often their worst critics, depression, self loathing doesn't rely on your status or charisma. Look at the number of highly charismatic, successful people who have taken their own lives? Chris Cornnell of Soundgarden, Comedian Robin Williams to name just two. Depression, Self loathing and Snicide doesn't care how rich or 'pretty' you are.
Very valid point. Thank you for commenting and expanding on that. I think that’s fair and an important aspect to consider. No one wants their pain to be dismissed. And everyone hurts somehow at some point. Being “pretty” etc doesn’t disqualify from suffering or the right to express pain
@@louquine it has been confirmed and by those closest to Williams that he struggled with depression. You don’t think being diagnosed with dementia might not have exacerbated his depression? “Williams had been suffering from severe depression, which is believed to be the leading contributor to his suicide” pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27737312/#:~:text=Williams%20had%20been%20suffering%20from,leading%20to%20his%20tragic%20death.
Just because you sing this song so beautifully does not take away from the intentions of the original. If anything to me I hear more pain and sorrow in this rendition. Thank you for sharing your gifts with all of us!
I truly think she is the most impressive singer I've ever heard. I know, I know...Dimash. But I mean it. Her vocal effects, how easily she turns them on and off, the way she jumps between them, yodels and breaks, the scatting, the twang when she wants it, the growl, the rasp, the natural smoky husk in her full voice... Never mind that she is like a real life Jessica Rabbit...I mean, I feel like I need to ask forgiveness after watching that. You should see her version of Tove Lo's "Habits", also with Post Modern Jukebox. I'm not sure anything is as impressive as this one, but it's also good. This is her song now. This is no longer a Radiohead song. It's a Haley Reinhart song...Radiohead just didn't realize they were writing it for her.
Yes! "Habits" rarely gets a shout-out but that's one of my favorite Haley+PMJ performances. Not only does Haley kill it, it's catchy af. Every time I hear it, the hook gets stuck in my head for at least a week afterward.
An anachronism for sure. Her vocal toolkit in monstrous! This is the legendary 1 take , she got done said Do we need to do it again and Scott Bradlee...nope! I really enjoyed your reaction. Haley displaying 16 of the 9 vocal techniques humans can perform LOL. Classic. Didn't have to twerk, shake, swear, dance around; just stand and deliver with her stage presence and perform vocally unreal. love her stuff.
Exactly. I've never heard better, who has? I'm thinking Christina Aguilera in her Prime could compare, Wine? (with ALL of the 18 nuances to this performance- most of Great singers never have This many tools)
Haley is probably one of the best singers of our time. You also might like to hear Post Modern Jukebox featuring Morgan James singing "Dream On", it's spectacular.
My top 3 "Creep" versions goes, 1) Haley, 2) Pau from The Warning, 3) Radiohead. 👍♥️🤘 Haley actually came in 3rd on American Idol behind 2 county singers, she should have won! The judges kept telling her she was too sexy and needed to tone it down, but it was just natural.
I agree that she is a phenomenal singer but I think her most incredible talent is that she not only adapts to any style she wants, she becomes the very embodiment of that style. Check out her renditions of Mad World, Seven Nation Army, Don't Speak, and All About that Bass for other examples. Each is done in a completely different style. In each she knocks them out of the park and its almost as if there is a secret time machine to take Hailey's recordings back to those time periods to teach them.
All time best vocalist maybe? Incredible range and vocal gymnastics. However the way she does it so fluidly speaks of the unwavering skill and confidence in that skill. Vibrato, sliding, sliding in vibrato, growl, whistle?, highs, lows, airy, crisp and clear, smokiness and the way she sings on the edge of her voice like it's about to crack in both her highs and low tones but you know it's under control and never will crack. Oh, and let us not forget that "run".
Background... The very first time I ever heard anything by Hailey OR PMJ was about a month ago. I happened upon a reaction to Creep (which I love), so I hit play. About 20 seconds in I had to hit pause. I immediately left the reaction and went to find the official (uninterrupted) version. I listened to THAT like 3 times in a row. I said then, and I still believe, this particular piece is one of the best musical performances I have ever heard. Ever. Any genre. Any time period. So, watching your obvious appreciation for this masterpiece was very nice. You SO seemed to be "one with the music" that I could barely take my eyes off of YOU (I've heard the song enough that I can take my eyes off of Hailey briefly). Fantastic piece of musical mastery, AND an excellent reaction!!
Some of the smokeyness in her voice may have been due to she was not feeling well but with all that in mind she still delivered a flawless performance. To top that off they did this in one take even with her not feeling well. Love the Betty Boop moments and the tight lipped inhale. So saultry. Such an awesome singer. That voice needs to be in a hall of fame.
I love Haley's performance. All of PMJ's covers have that throwback flavor and she nailed it. Perhaps you'd enjoy Pau from The Warning doing a solo cover . It's - to me - equally amazing, but not on technical difficulty or musicality, just raw grit and talent and heart rending fire. I can't buy you coffee, I'd like to, but you should react to that as well. Love ✌️💖🎼
Incredible talent ever since she was on American Idol in 2011 - gotta respect her talent and her grind. Thanks for helping give her some exposure and well deserved props Rosalie! #HAKUNAMATATA 😂
Great reaction! I always love to see people discover PMJ and Haley for the first time. For another standout performance by Haley with PMJ, try their cover of the White Stripes' hit "Seven Nation Army." They do it as a New Orleans style dirge and Haley is in full Jessica Rabbit mode (if Jessica Rabbit ever launched into some throaty blues). And I know you just reacted to Morgan James doing "Hallelujah" (and you saw her in "All About That Bass") but I think you would also really enjoy some of her collabs with PMJ, including their James Bond theme style cover of Aerosmith's "Dream On" (the one everybody will recommend to you) and their strong and sassy 60s Soul version of Maroon 5's "MAPS" (the one more people should recommend bc Morgan sprinkles a little Aretha on Maroon 5 and absolutely kills it). Another great PMJ+Haley performance that gets lost in the shuffle sometimes (though it still has millions of views) is their cover of Tove-Lo's song, "Habits." That song is catchy af and I find myself singing the hook for a solid week every time I hear it. Honestly, it's probably my #3 PMJ+Haley performance after "Creep" and "Seven Nation Army." Anyway, whatever you choose, they're all bangers. PMJ is on another level and when they add next-level vocalists like Haley Reinhart and Morgan James into the mix, you really can't go wrong. OH! And if you want to try a different singer with PMJ who will blow you away with her depth, gravity, and grit, try PMJ featuring Miche Braden doing a cover of Prince's "Purple Rain." Miche is the real deal, for sure, and she takes Prince to church.
There are 4 PMJ tracks I love. This, Halo (the guy who sings halo is INSANELY talented), all about that bass and All The Small things with Puddles Pity Party. I'm seeing them in Birmingham, UK, next weekend. Can't wait!
I just saw her in concert (front row) and she is the most underrated act I've ever seen live (and that goes back to the 1970's). PMJ w/ Morgan James' cover of Dream On is on par with this and will blow your mind. And then check out the two of them together covering All About That Bass.
Haley smoked this on Idol the came out with this version with Post modern OMG still blows me away how she just demolishes all of the other covers. just one person with that special talent to really do it right.
This is my favorite version of this song and Hailey is always great. She does another awesome cover with PMJ of Gwen Stefanie's song "Don't Speak" that you need to check out when you have a chance. Always a pleasure to watch your reactions.
Scott Bradlee has said that Haley wasn't sick that day but they had done two other videos on the same day and Haley's voice was tired and she wasn't sure she could give what it deserves. This is what we got! One take as well!
Well I am a happy camper I love this so much I listen to it at least once a week I am glad you did it thanks for the ride today it was fun as always your ride or die forever EyyyyOoooo
She is a force of nature! I have always loved this song, but Haley has taken it to another level, absolutely mesmerising performance. Also, the musical arrangement, and musicians are top notch.
Great reaction! Haley is my favorite singer of all time. Virtually everything I've seen her do - and there's lots of it out there on youtube - has been absolutely fantastic. I love it all, but I especially like the stuff she did with Postmodern Jukebox. Most of it is from 7-8 years ago, but she did return and do a killer rendition of Don't Speak with them in 2021. I hope you get a chance to check some of those other videos out as well. I'm so excited - I have tickets to see her live for the first time next week! Woohoo!
Today, 2/10/2023....Liliac just released a new version of their cover of Metallica's "Master of Puppets" as they now have Aidan Fisher as a second Guitarist...
I read an interview some time ago that that was done in one take. They put the mic in front of her and gave her the nod to start and she did her thing in one take
I think the arrangement just magnifies everything 10x. It gives Haley exactly the text and subtext to go into those pockets in a natural way, expressing her true talents while simply just living through the song in a very coherent and unprescribed kind of way. Like, if you had a moment of genius this is how you'd sing, by which I mean, there is no semblance of contrivance or pushing anywhere. All of this is down to the arrangement which almost certainly is tailored specifically to Haley's voice, not just her capabilities but for her to 'slip into' (tailored, see what I did there) in as comfortable way as humanly possible. Like, what if you could ski the most incredible mountain way beyond the sum of your skills on a 'normal day' but someone laid out the slope so that all of your instincts were going to be the right ones and presto bingo, there you go. The arrangement is far more than beautiful, it empowered the star into the skies.
Yes, pretty crazy! I have two favorites of this song being sung. This one, and the one by Brian Justin Crum on AGT. Please take a look at that one. It will blow you away. I've just found your reactions and with the one from Skid Row and this one, I love your take on the songs. I will look for more in the future.
I agreee, completely she is from another time and place. I would love to hear your reaction to PMJ with Morgan James singing "Dream On". Really like your channel
I just found you a couple of weeks ago, Rosalie. I was hunting down The Warning reactions at the time. I have just discovered The Warning(my bad), but have known about Haley from her American Idol days. Personally I thought she should have won! After I saw your reaction to It’s All About The Bass, I was hoping you would get around to Creep. Bass just gives you a glimmer to what she is capable of, Creep gives you the full treatment. IMO one of the best singers out there. Also I agree about being underrated, she is not that well known to the general public compared to the amount of talent she has! But I’m glad you have found her, she is worth exploring. 🤯
Great reaction Rosalie...I've been waiting for this one. IMO, Haley and Morgan James are the best singers to have appeared with PMJ. Between the two of them, they've done 15 to 20 songs. All of them are amazing. You'll have to listen to both of them in All About That Jazz and Morgan in Dream On (Aerosmith). Really enjoy your channel!
Sorry, but Morgan James is not close to being in the same league with Haley Reinhart. As Haley generates astronomically far more RUclips views, streams on Spotify, and reaction videos relative to Morgan James. Nevertheless, that never stops the Morgan James brigade from hijacking and co-opting every Haley Reinhart music reaction video comment section to lobby for the obviously lesser talented Morgan James.
@@mikeconway9849 You're a liar. Like all the other loons on the Morgan James brigade, you help to hijack and co-opt every Haley Reinhart music reaction comment section to beg, plead, and lobby for a Morgan James reaction video because Morgan James simply isn't talented enough to generate nearly the number of RUclips views, Spotify streams, and reaction videos Haley generates all on her own.
@@mikeconway9849 Just saw that Rosalie had done this reaction so I thought I'd look for The Toxic Bullfrog attacking anybody who mentions Morgan James. He appears to be stalking this reaction just to vent ...
Your BEST reaction ever! I love your expression and I appreciate your knowledge and expertise, but most off all, I am blown away by your ability to articulate exactly what you mean in terms that resonate within me. Thank you. I have followed you ever since you first reacted to Nightwish singing "Ghost Love Score", and I have a feeling I join you on your journey, wherever it leads.
She yodels, as well. Check her out singing "Blue". She also did a "Extra" chewing gum commercial that went multiple Platinum with "Cant Help Falling in Love".
Rosalie, I have heard so many reactions to this song, but perhaps yours was the most fun.. I felt like I was hanging with you, chillin' and enjoying this totally amazing vocal performance. Thank-you
I love all those things you pointed out, rasp, bluesiness, range, check out "4.50" on the video and listen for her voice "POP" don't know how she does that!
Haley doesn't sing a song; she performs a song. My personal favorite is Seven Nation Army with PMJ. I always feel like a cold shower and cigarette after that one. Great job like you always do!
This was indeed one take, Haley actually asked Scott Bradlee if they should do it again and Scott, knowing what he had just heard, replied "Na, we're good!" Moreover, that was actually uncharacteristic of Bradlee as he is a perfectionist.
I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve listened to this performance. I’ve decided to keep watching the many reaction videos, too, until somebody says they don’t like it. (Unlikely to ever happen).
I haven't seen anyone else mention this, Rosalie, but this video of "Creep" was recorded the same day that PMJ recorded "All About The Bass" when the group had a day off on their European tour!

Hi Rosalie! I loved your reaction to Haley's incredible voice! Postmodern Jukebox has featured many top shelf singers that would keep you in reaction videos for weeks! One of my favorites was Miche Braden and her New Orleans Jazz version of "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns and Roses. Her voice literally shook the walls! I hope you will check it out soon!
Hola Rosalie! Haley is definitely one of the best voices out there, and this has got to be one of the best renditions of Creep. Absolutely mesmerizing! Loved your reaction as always; you can't hide your enjoyment! If I may, check out Alabama Shakes with Always Alright (the SNL version) for another powerhouse vocal performance; you'll be pleasantly surprised!
Rosalie, I believe HAILEY is one of the BEST in the US. You should hear her and MORGAN JAMES sing in their apartment, covering the BEATLES “DEAR PRUDENCE” with just Morgan’s husband playing ACOUSTIC GUITAR. My other favorite vocalist is YEBBA her TINY DESK PERFORMANCE. They both can switch up the vocals to any style. Thanks for sharing your support with this Reaction. 🙆🏻♀️🎼🎶🌟👏🏽
BEST I'VE HEARD IN MY 74 YEARS. GLAD I LIVED LONG ENOUGH TO DISCOVER HER
She's criminally underrated! She's one of my favourite female vocalists✌️

"Probably"? 🤣
This is an awesome cover and Haley absolutely kills it. She’s super talented!
My top 3 "Creep" versions goes,
1) Haley, 2) Pau from The Warning, 3) Radiohead. 👍♥️🤘
Haley actually came in 3rd on American Idol behind 2 county singers, she should have won! The judges kept telling her she was too sexy and needed to tone it down, but it was just natural.
Pau is so close ... and she just accompanies herself on the family piano. 🤯
Masterpiece. I've seen it like 100 times, and still excited every time.
I agree that she is a phenomenal singer but I think her most incredible talent is that she not only adapts to any style she wants, she becomes the very embodiment of that style. Check out her renditions of Mad World, Seven Nation Army, Don't Speak, and All About that Bass for other examples. Each is done in a completely different style. In each she knocks them out of the park and its almost as if there is a secret time machine to take Hailey's recordings back to those time periods to teach them.
She's absolutely incredible. This is the epitome of sensuality and vocal command. I'm in awe.
Absolute MasterClass in about 10 different vocal techniques and methods.
Yes. Best performance, arrangement and mastery of vocal prowess, Hailey!
All time best vocalist maybe?
Incredible range and vocal gymnastics. However the way she does it so fluidly speaks of the unwavering skill and confidence in that skill. Vibrato, sliding, sliding in vibrato, growl, whistle?, highs, lows, airy, crisp and clear, smokiness and the way she sings on the edge of her voice like it's about to crack in both her highs and low tones but you know it's under control and never will crack.
Oh, and let us not forget that "run".
if you wanna have you socks knocked off even more, that was their first take of recording that song. PMJ owes their success to this woman.
Her voice is amazing. I can not wait to hear it in person in about a week.
Haley is one of my all time favorite female vocalists...hands down! Her utter control kills me. Amazing. Thank you!

"What in the unicorn farts just happened?!" 😂😂😂 So acurate! I havent laughed that hard in months!
Hailey is one of those generational talents… she’s been my favorite singer for 10 years now
That needs to be sung on a small corner stage at a bar, sipping a martini. I felt underdressed just listening to that. Super classy version ❤❤
for real! I know what you mean
Thats not a song, thats a whole experience! Wow! That voice! OMFG! ❤😮
Great reaction! I always love to see people discover PMJ and Haley for the first time. For another standout performance by Haley with PMJ, try their cover of the White Stripes' hit "Seven Nation Army." They do it as a New Orleans style dirge and Haley is in full Jessica Rabbit mode (if Jessica Rabbit ever launched into some throaty blues). And I know you just reacted to Morgan James doing "Hallelujah" (and you saw her in "All About That Bass") but I think you would also really enjoy some of her collabs with PMJ, including their James Bond theme style cover of Aerosmith's "Dream On" (the one everybody will recommend to you) and their strong and sassy 60s Soul version of Maroon 5's "MAPS" (the one more people should recommend bc Morgan sprinkles a little Aretha on Maroon 5 and absolutely kills it).
Another great PMJ+Haley performance that gets lost in the shuffle sometimes (though it still has millions of views) is their cover of Tove-Lo's song, "Habits." That song is catchy af and I find myself singing the hook for a solid week every time I hear it. Honestly, it's probably my #3 PMJ+Haley performance after "Creep" and "Seven Nation Army."
Anyway, whatever you choose, they're all bangers. PMJ is on another level and when they add next-level vocalists like Haley Reinhart and Morgan James into the mix, you really can't go wrong.
OH! And if you want to try a different singer with PMJ who will blow you away with her depth, gravity, and grit, try PMJ featuring Miche Braden doing a cover of Prince's "Purple Rain." Miche is the real deal, for sure, and she takes Prince to church.
There are 4 PMJ tracks I love. This, Halo (the guy who sings halo is INSANELY talented), all about that bass and All The Small things with Puddles Pity Party.
I'm seeing them in Birmingham, UK, next weekend. Can't wait!
I just saw her in concert (front row) and she is the most underrated act I've ever seen live (and that goes back to the 1970's). PMJ w/ Morgan James' cover of Dream On is on par with this and will blow your mind. And then check out the two of them together covering All About That Bass.
Haley smoked this on Idol the came out with this version with Post modern OMG still blows me away how she just demolishes all of the other covers. just one person with that special talent to really do it right.
You seem knowledgeable and thus the subscribe. Haley's vocal gymnastics are breathtaking... She can sure make this video a mesmerizing experience.
The whole channel is incredible, I love listening to them
Haley performs music from ALL genres with such power and SOUL......." I wish I was special...." oh......and that Band, especially the horns!
This is my favorite version of this song and Hailey is always great. She does another awesome cover with PMJ of Gwen Stefanie's song "Don't Speak" that you need to check out when you have a chance. Always a pleasure to watch your reactions.
Pra mim essa é a melhor versão! 😜
My favorite rendition of this song. This version is a masterclass in vocals and style. So glad you checked it out.
Holy mother of god goosebumps one on my fav songs ever and she killed it 🔥 😮
"What in the unicorn farts just happened?" lol Classic! Quote of the month!!
Great Reaction and Hi from Puerto Rico .
Love your response to this. You are so beautiful and a smile that is angelic
This was their first & only take of this AND she actually had influenza at the time too. Unbelievable talent.
Scott Bradlee has said that Haley wasn't sick that day but they had done two other videos on the same day and Haley's voice was tired and she wasn't sure she could give what it deserves. This is what we got! One take as well!
Hailey is a gift from heaven.
Well I am a happy camper I love this so much I listen to it at least once a week I am glad you did it thanks for the ride today it was fun as always your ride or die forever EyyyyOoooo
She is a force of nature! I have always loved this song, but Haley has taken it to another level, absolutely mesmerising performance. Also, the musical arrangement, and musicians are top notch.
Great reaction! Haley is my favorite singer of all time. Virtually everything I've seen her do - and there's lots of it out there on youtube - has been absolutely fantastic. I love it all, but I especially like the stuff she did with Postmodern Jukebox. Most of it is from 7-8 years ago, but she did return and do a killer rendition of Don't Speak with them in 2021. I hope you get a chance to check some of those other videos out as well.
I'm so excited - I have tickets to see her live for the first time next week! Woohoo!
Today, 2/10/2023....Liliac just released a new version of their cover of Metallica's "Master of Puppets" as they now have Aidan Fisher as a second Guitarist...
I read an interview some time ago that that was done in one take. They put the mic in front of her and gave her the nod to start and she did her thing in one take
Well, she used to sing it on tour in one take in front of a live audience too.
I think the arrangement just magnifies everything 10x. It gives Haley exactly the text and subtext to go into those pockets in a natural way, expressing her true talents while simply just living through the song in a very coherent and unprescribed kind of way. Like, if you had a moment of genius this is how you'd sing, by which I mean, there is no semblance of contrivance or pushing anywhere. All of this is down to the arrangement which almost certainly is tailored specifically to Haley's voice, not just her capabilities but for her to 'slip into' (tailored, see what I did there) in as comfortable way as humanly possible.
Like, what if you could ski the most incredible mountain way beyond the sum of your skills on a 'normal day' but someone laid out the slope so that all of your instincts were going to be the right ones and presto bingo, there you go. The arrangement is far more than beautiful, it empowered the star into the skies.
Yes, pretty crazy! I have two favorites of this song being sung. This one, and the one by Brian Justin Crum on AGT. Please take a look at that one. It will blow you away. I've just found your reactions and with the one from Skid Row and this one, I love your take on the songs. I will look for more in the future.
Great song, great arrangement, great voice, great reaction.
In summary ---- great! :)
I agreee, completely she is from another time and place. I would love to hear your reaction to PMJ with Morgan James singing "Dream On". Really like your channel
Fantastic.
I just found you a couple of weeks ago, Rosalie. I was hunting down The Warning reactions at the time. I have just discovered The Warning(my bad), but have known about Haley from her American Idol days. Personally I thought she should have won! After I saw your reaction to It’s All About The Bass, I was hoping you would get around to Creep. Bass just gives you a glimmer to what she is capable of, Creep gives you the full treatment. IMO one of the best singers out there. Also I agree about being underrated, she is not that well known to the general public compared to the amount of talent she has! But I’m glad you have found her, she is worth exploring. 🤯
Great reaction Rosalie...I've been waiting for this one. IMO, Haley and Morgan James are the best singers to have appeared with PMJ. Between the two of them, they've done 15 to 20 songs. All of them are amazing. You'll have to listen to both of them in All About That Jazz and Morgan in Dream On (Aerosmith). Really enjoy your channel!
Sorry, but Morgan James is not close to being in the same league with Haley Reinhart. As Haley generates astronomically far more RUclips views, streams on Spotify, and reaction videos relative to Morgan James.
Nevertheless, that never stops the Morgan James brigade from hijacking and co-opting every Haley Reinhart music reaction video comment section to lobby for the obviously lesser talented Morgan James.
@Bullfrog I'm not on any brigade...I enjoy both singers and their songs with PMJ.
@@mikeconway9849 You're a liar. Like all the other loons on the Morgan James brigade, you help to hijack and co-opt every Haley Reinhart music reaction comment section to beg, plead, and lobby for a Morgan James reaction video because Morgan James simply isn't talented enough to generate nearly the number of RUclips views, Spotify streams, and reaction videos Haley generates all on her own.
@@mikeconway9849 Just saw that Rosalie had done this reaction so I thought I'd look for The Toxic Bullfrog attacking anybody who mentions Morgan James. He appears to be stalking this reaction just to vent ...
"What in the Unicorn farts just happened?" Was my exact reaction... well, give or take a few words.
Haley has one of sexiest singing voices I have ever heard. Before her it was "in my opinion" Stevie Nicks.
That performance was easily one of the most magical of unicorn farts, ever! Loving your expressive furrowed brow, too!!
Haley and Aurora are my 2 favorite singers ever.
Your BEST reaction ever! I love your expression and I appreciate your knowledge and expertise, but most off all, I am blown away by your ability to articulate exactly what you mean in terms that resonate within me. Thank you. I have followed you ever since you first reacted to Nightwish singing "Ghost Love Score", and I have a feeling I join you on your journey, wherever it leads.
She yodels, as well. Check her out singing "Blue". She also did a "Extra" chewing gum commercial that went multiple Platinum with "Cant Help Falling in Love".
Rosalie, I have heard so many reactions to this song, but perhaps yours was the most fun.. I felt like I was hanging with you, chillin' and enjoying this totally amazing vocal performance. Thank-you
"What in the unicorn farts?" That sums it up!
I love all those things you pointed out, rasp, bluesiness, range, check out "4.50" on the video and listen for her voice "POP" don't know how she does that!
Haley doesn't sing a song; she performs a song. My personal favorite is Seven Nation Army with PMJ. I always feel like a cold shower and cigarette after that one. Great job like you always do!
Any fan of Haley owes it to themselves to watch her American Idol performances in 2011.
Roselea I love your reaction you are a true professional God bless you aloha, from Hawaii
This was indeed one take, Haley actually asked Scott Bradlee if they should do it again and Scott, knowing what he had just heard, replied "Na, we're good!" Moreover, that was actually uncharacteristic of Bradlee as he is a perfectionist.
Or completely characteristic because he saw that it was perfection.
@@spockjones1521 That's fair. What I meant is Scott almost never stops at one take.
What a great reaction! Love your style and love this song.
"What in the unicorn farts just happened" 🤣
I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve listened to this performance. I’ve decided to keep watching the many reaction videos, too, until somebody says they don’t like it. (Unlikely to ever happen).
You have to watch postmodern Jukebox with Haley cover dont speak by no doubt
I saw her two days ago in Memphis: so much more amazing in person!!!
The thing about Haley is that every time you think you've heard everything she can do, she hits you from a different direction
She's one of the best female vocalists of all time
Lmao!!! Good reaction!! Got me to sub…had me at “unicorn farts” 😂
Tnx! Good choice. Love her. Subscribed!
Thanks for not cutting much the viedo, that's how all reaction videos should be
"mad world" w/ Haley and Puddles pity party is awesome
Haley has an amazing voice, but when combined with PMJ she is magical.
I haven't seen anyone else mention this, Rosalie, but this video of "Creep" was recorded the same day that PMJ recorded "All About The Bass" when the group had a day off on their European tour!
I’ve followed Haley since she was on American Idol.

One take Haley!! Easily my co-favorite singer (along with Lara Fabian). Haley has a beautiful Jazz/Blues voice. You gotta love her!!
Got tix to see her live in Natick, MA on Mar 23rd... small venue, front row, will share vids, WTFO
Hi Rosalie! I loved your reaction to Haley's incredible voice! Postmodern Jukebox has featured many top shelf singers that would keep you in reaction videos for weeks! One of my favorites was Miche Braden and her New Orleans Jazz version of "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns and Roses. Her voice literally shook the walls! I hope you will check it out soon!
Hola Rosalie! Haley is definitely one of the best voices out there, and this has got to be one of the best renditions of Creep. Absolutely mesmerizing! Loved your reaction as always; you can't hide your enjoyment!
If I may, check out Alabama Shakes with Always Alright (the SNL version) for another powerhouse vocal performance; you'll be pleasantly surprised!
It is by far the best rendition ever unless you really want to seriously different mood
Rosalie, I believe HAILEY is one of the BEST in the US. You should hear her and MORGAN JAMES sing in their apartment, covering the BEATLES “DEAR PRUDENCE” with just Morgan’s husband playing ACOUSTIC GUITAR. My other favorite vocalist is YEBBA her TINY DESK PERFORMANCE. They both can switch up the vocals to any style. Thanks for sharing your support with this Reaction. 🙆🏻♀️🎼🎶🌟👏🏽
