She's far better than most of todays Grammy winners.
Indeed
She just doesn't have what it takes to be on the same level with the singers of today.
She has way to much talent and she wears clothes.
Most people these days aren't interested in talent. They like their songs blandly generic with lots of autotune.
I agree with you completely
She's white.
Morgan James has an unbelievable voice and unlike nearly all of the modern singers she actually enunciates consonants and vowels. Beautiful.
Interesting comment. I like these way of singing too. Maybe it's because of her opera study at the Juilliard.
She's the Franck Sinatra of female singers! The voice
I had the great pleasure of seeing Morgan perform a few years ago in a small venue. No electronic voice enhancements like all these pop divas. Her vocals are just as stunningly beautiful as she is.
The fact that no one is mentioning how beautiful she is … is in itself a testament to her voice. 🔥🔥🔥
Great point.
Haven't really thought about that til you mentioned it - but so true. What a compliment to her.
Agreed
That chick is hot.
It certainly is up and becoming of her, truly. 🇺🇸✌🏻
Thanks. This deserves several million views and likes. Scott and Morgan are a wonderful combination.
How are these two not more popular? Pure talent and then we have music "stars" who cannot sing without autotune, I just do not get it!!! People, please cherish this wonderful talent!
Patrick Weskamp This music is for the people. That auto tune stuff is for the corporations.
They ain't black
Ciao
What's soul! Gorgeous voice, gorgeous woman. Some people are here to illuminate the universe.❤
Morgan James. The power of your voice. It's hard to fathom. Thank you, both of you. Simply stunning.
Morgan's voice is amazing and mirrored by her performances, she puts her heart and soul into every song she performs!
Goose bumps and teary eyes every time I listen to Morgan singing this. Life is better because of you guys!
Everything I've seen Scott produce is astounding. I believe he is one of the greatest musicians of our time, and he surrounds himself with only the very best talent! I hope one day to catch Postmodern Jukebox live.
OMG, she's even better than before. How is that possible? Thanks for bringing her in, Scott.
Scott you truly are a genius, and I will forever be grateful to the Internet for helping me find you, your unique arrangements and the amazing artists you work with! As for Morgan, every time I listen to her I'm covered in goose bumps, crying and feeling like I have some kind of otherworldly experience... Unbelievable talent and artistry!
The shame is I can only "like" this video once. Awesome job!
Im here for Morgan James..
Stunning in every way 🇬🇧
Scott plays piano like it's a native language. Not just mastery, he speaks through the instrument.
He just needs a more stable stand! ;)
I've never read a more accurate description of Scott's talent. It seems like he was born on a piano seat. The same could be said of most of the other PMJ musicians. They all are masters of their instruments.
Morgan, you are PHENOMENAL!
Scott, thank you for bringing the music from big corrupted record lables back to people.
Wow, an amazing talent, a voice like flowing honey and one of the most beautiful women on the planet !! Yes, I'm a fan !!
What a voice OMG! And she’s stunningly beautiful to boot.
Talk about natural talent and looks, she is amazinging...yes!
These two, are just unbelievable. Morgan, my God, you can’t sing! Not to mention just beautiful, visually locally both stunning
Morgan James never seems to "phone it in." She goes full steam every time. Nice to see these two performing together again.
she's like a glass cannon. lol.
that's what I always think when I see her sing. It's like.. how in the hell is this "little woman" able to sing with such power!?
I watched her play a tiny elementary school to 50 people. She blew the place away and gave it her all. She is perfect live.
@@kjs234 What better recommendation can one award an artist? Small venue, large effort.
Haley Reinhart was similarly singing her heart out in a hallway at Dell Children Hospital a couple of years ago for an impromptu benefit..
This point you (Roger) raise is great, and it's why I personally believe Morgan James (and Haley Reinhart) are happy in their music careers. Happy.
They are not defined by "the industry"...and love what they do, regardless of labels.
I absolutely love Morgan James.
Her singing is so honest and real, but also amazing. I get chills and nearly every song she sings.
Have two people of greater talent ever taken a stage anywhere before? Thanks to Paste Magazine for recording this. Wow!
I love it when music is striped back to its basic elements! No clutter of over orchestration, mixing and special effects. Just a great voice and an instrument. No place to hide so talent just flows. Thanks for the special treat!
Not a big fan of Jacob Collier then ;)
@@gtgaxiola. Watch Jacob at Paste with a couple other singers. Truly great.
Morgan James' minimalist makeup is very beautiful!
I was just going to say, her skin is absolutely perfect. In addition to her crazy talent, I think she is also very well hydrated! How's that for a compliment?!
17:20 Morgan, "The one thing that no one can take away from you are your fans or the people and no label owns them." This says it all and corporate should learn from this. I'm a fan of Morgan's for life.
@dfhowes Yes. I looked at the industry from an attorney's perspective advising my niece. Basically, I concluded that she would have more control, self-direction and potential for profit on lower embedded cost by going independent, and she would not have to do any less work for having obligated herself to a label.
I'm standing. Thank you.
Why I am only just hearing this incredible singer now. She is as good as it gets. Astounding performance. I'm hooked. This duo is sublime.
You can thank me later:

They're great --- you'd probably also like Lake Street Dive
Those were my words after watching All About That Base. Something is wrong with the music industry.
"Who Wants to Live Forever"...goosepumbs from start to end...thank you
One of my favorite things about PMJ is understanding lyrics I've sang wrong for years...
Nothing to say I'm 65 yrs old seen lots of singers over the yrs lots of insane talent as far as Morgan James ? There is nothing to say it speaks all by itself!!!!! Just listen and admire sheer talent! Amazing!
Morgan James makes great singing look way too easy. I love her voice!
She's also a Broadway actor so she's practiced at expressing through body, face and voice while singing.
@@DoomGoober I didn't know she's also an actress. That explains a lot. She's very talented.
She sure does!
I just fall In-Love all over again every time I see and hear Morgan James...
Yep I agree her voice deserves all the Grammys
They are magnificent. Morgan is a goddess.
I fell in love with Morgan James' talent after her performance of "Dream On" on PMJ channel. And I loved her song "Say the Word". Such a great artist!
Dream on is the best.
Same
My first song of hers was Barbie Girl. And I actually really hate the original song (bc of how much it was played in the 90's lol), but her and PMJ's version is just epic and I really loved how she played with her voice for that "Barbie" effect and completely looked the part. She is not only a good singer, but an actress on stage, such a cool expressive personality.
best vocal perfomance in all times@@georgeburns7251
I have never heard such a great interpretation of a cover. Large compliment
I literally have no words.
This is truly an epic masterpiece!
I found post modern jukebox because of COVID so I can honestly say COVID has had one positive affect on my life. I love the way they interpret song Morgan's voice is one I won't get tired of hearing!
my God, there is nothing else like Scott Bradlee and Morgan James together!!
Love Morgan's, and Scotts, version of "Take Me to Church" PMJ has never disappointed me.
GAWD she's a gorgeous creation!
first tune sung so good, almost made me a believer like Aretha and the man at the keys! OMG!
I've watched quite a few of the Juke box and its obvious Scott's piano perfection is the backbone of those performances. Now I know why.
Morgan is an incredible talent, pleasing to the eyes, and just adorable.
Wow. Morgan is at her best when it's just her and a piano.
What a lovely rich voice she has! There is a lot of black gospel in it! Wonderful!
"Who wants to live forever" with Morgan James - A dream is coming true!
Love the whole PMJ concept, and the talent showcase that it provides for the accompanying musicians and vocalists.
Morgan James is simply amazing- the only singer in the world who can make "Sledgehammer" sound like it makes sense! Now I've gotta go watch that video again...
My favorite was when (cant think of his name,blank) and she had that white dress and really delivered. Wish I could remember that guitarist name.
@@60viking That guitarist is her husband, Doug Wamble. She and he have been doing quarantine covers from their home like every day from their house for the last two months.
this was really fun!
Fun to watch as well, Scott. Thanks especially for 'Who wants to live forever' . I always wished you covered more Queen songs, among PMJ's regular videos it's just 'Don't stop me now' (unless I missed something). This little part of 'Rhapsody in blue' was sweet. Can't wait to see your new stuff :)
Love the new album, Scott! Can't wait to see what 2019 has in store for you guys - hope you come to the Beacon in February!
I love your speaking voice Scott! Very sincere and soothing 😊
Every time I hear Morgan sing, I get goosebumps! Wow!
I'm sure it was, thank you both for this it was fabulous!! & Thank you Scott for dreaming up PMJ & for making it a reality!! You have brought me countless hours of joy that I cannot repay!! The singers, players & dancers that comprise your group are truly amazing, and you deserve all of the success you are having!!
Wow Morgan is just so good. The way she finishes each word is so unique. Love Morgan.
Morgan takes the original and makes it something new and refreshing. Too bad she’s so difficult to look at 😉😍
I know right? But for the sake of the music I shall force myself to look at her. :))
Sarcasm??? I like looking at her.
IN addition to her extraordinary talent, she's authentic. I'm a huge fan and I push it out to my FB gang all the time. Love her.
Listening to her sing is always great, but when she sang ‘Who Wants To Live Forever’ I got literal chills.
I love her. Big big fan. This beautiful lady has it all. Triple threat!!💖💗💓💞
Morgan James to be watched by someone living in Cairo Egypt, it means one thing you a great girl .....Morgan James you rock
There are no words to properly describe the voice and talent of Morgan James. And Scott’s a pretty decent musician as well!
Morgan, once more I fall on my knees hearing your marvellous voice and just stop breathing when your eyes open with that special gaze. A Godess among us mortals.
I have never had the pleasure of hearing Scott before to today. Flawless. Ms. James is absolutely incredible not to mention beautiful. Very enjoyable. Ty
I really really love when she sing "Maps"
I love what PMJ represents: a return to fundamentals. Top notch musicians actually playing instruments. Wonderful singers not requiring autotune or the need to overwhelm a song. Sophisticated arrangements. It's not about engineering and studio trickery, just old school performance skills. It's sad that this all feels so retro.
Morgan James doesn't need a microphone. Her voice fills the void in eternity. Her voice illuminates the darkness. Its hard to leave the celestial plane when the song ends and come back to our mortal plane with our earthly needs and desire's.
Power houses both of them. Thank you for giving us a chance to hear these wonderful songs done in this style. I'm so appreciative.
Morgan sings with a purity that isn't found in other singers. Her voice and her interpretations make the songs better than the originals. Scott Bradlee is an absolute genius in the way he arranges and interprets tunes and then puts the perfect performers together to give them life. I'm assuming that most everyone reading this is aware of PostModern Jukebox but if you're not, you're missing out on an amazing audio and visual experience!
MJ is beyond beautiful without make up. Her voice is far beyond even that.
The record deal dialog is most illuminating. Corporate playlists still control commercial radio which is mercifully dying allowing true artists like Scott and Morgan to emerge on their own.
without makeup??
Post modern jukebox is the best thing ever ❤!!!
I'm giving a standing ovation.....and so so everytime Morgan James sings.
do so
Wow, I loved every minute of it. Morgan is a true soul singer, and so tastefully accompanied by Scott.
After Queens "Who wants to live forever" she got me more than ever!!!:)Love you guys!
Her voice is heavenly and pure.
Scott Bradlee, I love you for bringing these talents to the fore
Such an AMAZING singer. Can't get enough of this beautiful voice.
Always a pleasure to have these two perform together. Can't wait for what's next for PMJ.
Morgan James is simply excellent. She can handle several styles and types of music and do them well. That's the quality of a real musician.
Incredible vocals. But also the random George Gershwin quote in the middle of GNR's Sweet Child of Mine was pure genius!!!!
try not to cry on "Who Wants to Live Forever (Queen)". Morgan James' voice comes from Heaven, I love her
A nice touch sneaking Rhapsody In Blue into Sweet Child O' Mine.
I learned a ton tonight from Scott. And Morgan James, what a voice!
Scott's talent never ceases to amaze me
Standing ovation...great songs great interpretation great performance goose bumps
13:25 WHERE DID SHE HIDE ALL THAT AIR?! That run was incredible.
Definitely not a Smoker
She"s an opera singer by education. I assume this is relatively easy for her.
@@filipvanheer it's an impressive feature nonetheless. She has an incredible air control.
@@Analton Agree. For sure, I'm not capable to do it.
She does it by taking other people's breath away.
One of the good things about the web is that it made me discover Morgan (and Scott ...).
Scott Bradlee's arrangements and piano playing are incredible. Morgan James is incredibly talented. Her voice is so strong. It's truly a gift from God!
Wow! Morgan James covers Queen! Worlds collided!
OMG! That was truely amazing. I don’t think there’s another singer in the world that moves me like Morgan James does. I just love her voice. I’m speechless...
truly
Have you heard Haley Reinhart? She’s also one of the most talented singers I’ve ever seen. Especially her PMJ videos
Xenon Rising Yes, she’s great too 😉
@@TheAcmelight And for me, it seems that it's you who is drunk! Me, I can't understand how you can see the Morgan's talent (which is huge) but not see Hayle's!??? Hayle's talent is as huge as Morgan's if not more huge. I say that 'cuz I better know Hayle Reinhart than Morgan A. James. But I like very much both of them.
One of the finest singers I've heard in the last years.
In the early 90s, I used to play only good music in the car for my son, whenever we went for a walk. His favorite, no doubt was Who Wants to Live Forever. Now. Life separated us and "there is no time for us. There is no place for us" sounds sinisterly prophetic because we haven't seen each other for 23 years. I make a point of presenting him, now a 33-year-old man, this new version of his favorite song when he was 3 years old. Thank you very much Morgan!
I've been a PMJ fan for a long time. This is a fascinating, mesmerizing video on so many levels. The stories of the power of staying true to your artistry, and how to make it as an independent artist applies to all the arts. Their backstories are super encouraging and informative. Then listen to the sublime Morgan James slay Scott Bradlee's bluesy rendition of the iconic Guns n' Roses hit, Sweet Child o' Mine. They also do a killer version of a Queen song as well. Highly recommended for repeated listening pleasure and inspiration for all artists!!!!
She’s got some pipes . Lovely miss James .
YES, SHE DOES. Morgan just gives Me goosebumps, She REALLY RAW-ks my world
Morgan AMAZING James!!! I love you, you're the best!!!!
I had goose bumps for half of this set. You are phenomenal, both of you, and this lady is truly sublime.
Meu Deus, como Morgan canta. 👏👏👏👏👏
All i can say is "THANK YOU"
"Who Wants To Live Forever" has always been a haunting song.
Very late to this party, but I can't help but drop a few lines. Take Me To Church is one of the most remarkable vocal performances I heard in years in a pop context. The high risk high reward approach of her is reserved for the best at their craft. Godspeed, this is an absolute joy to listen to.
PMJ is a scientific institution for the extraction of excellent talents.
Hoorah - Scott & Morgan back together!
i give her standing ovations the second she produces the first sound :)
Scott Bradlee and Morgan James! An amazing pairing of talented artists! This was wonderful!
