+Sarah Boden With his range, I would LOVE to see him do a cover of one of The Darkness' songs! Maybe Love is Only a Feeling! I feel like he'd absolutely kill it!!! >:D
I could be convinced that Von was born in a tux because it just looks so right. And I love how his general demeanour and approach to this 'vintage' music really makes him seem like he was dragged and dropped from the early 1900s.
a lot of the credit has to go to the arrangement, & whole concept for pmj. the guy at the piano Scott Bradlee. he's the 1 who came up with the idea of taking pop songs & doing them in the old styles. so u have the old & the new. what was once pop is pop again. what could be considered outdated is current again, cuz quality & good music never goes out of style. at least i think it was his idea. i guess it could be someone else's & he executed it well. but ya, he's pretty good at staying low key. cuz ive never seen any1 here mention him at all, much less recognize what he's done. this is great stuff. i havent been impressed by a 'style' of music like this in a very long time. & of course von is great, cuz he expresses the music so well. from 2:33, i just start grinning uncontrollably cuz his vocal expression just makes me so happy all the way to the end. god this is so incredible how we're able to get this calibre of perf & music on youtube, & its pretty much Free. amazing. this is 1 of the things that make life worth living. music is so powerful & this song is just pure joy & happiness. in a world that can be so full of darkness & pain that tries to divide us, this is the kind of stuff that unites us & brings us hope & light :)
@@gotocustudiofilmsthecheapb3802 that's funny bro' didn't occur to me to translate it to spanish. i was my little girl's grammar police at the time she was learning to text me. i would putthe police car and police man emoji and she'd ask what's that for, correcting your grammar. fast forward today, she saw one of my comments and asked why and i wrote it that way. told her "Musicality" say what!? it's a crescendo, my signature plus the dancer in me.
Ah. "Flamboyant" is most definitely the word I was trying to put upon his performance. There is a "fuck yeah let's do this" air to him that would make him look awesome no matter what he'd sing.
HATERS GONNA HATE. This dude killed the vocals and people are just going to comment negative things because this is the internet. Yeah, it's not perfect, but it's DOPE AS HELL.
I find it incredible that the top comments on this video are so negative in their critiques of this performance. In my opinion, this distinguishes itself as one of PMJ's finest performances. Von Smith absolutely crushes it - I do not care at all for the original version and find myself listening to this video a few times a week.
It's not what you say...it's how you say it. That's why we can like songs that are in languages we don't understand. Show some real musical talent and we'll listen.
The kid can sing. This was fantastic, and very fun to watch. (anybody else see the trombone guy help out the trumpet guy? He's like, "Nah Man, not yet." then he does his part and comes back and looks to say "It's cool, Man." So awesome.)
This is... fucking amazing, and also made me realize Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" is... sigh... my favorite song of all time. It feels necessary to say that I am straight.
To think... while i was getting down to all the terrible singers and the dirty dirty fakes of this world, i could have been getting down. to this. sick. beat.
God I love this. All of it. Especially the background singer closest to the front -- what a beautiful, fabulous smile while delivering the essential background chorus! Von Smith, the other background singer, and the band are perfect. So very good. ALL OF IT.
I saw Postmodern Jukebox in Knoxville last week, and Von was with them. He did Miche Braden's vocals on Sweet Child of Mine, and brought down the house. I don't think that I've ever seen such a spontaneous standing ovation, it was like the entire audience had spring seats that activated at the end of the song. If you closed your eyes, you could barely tell the difference between him and Miche. I get that people won't believe that, I doubt that I would believe it either, but I was there, and this fresh faced kid has what it takes, and more.
I feel so blessed that I got to see this band live in Singapore during their tour with my wife years ago. It was the best concert i have ever been to in my life. ❤❤❤
You have set a standard where we actually watch the tambourine player. We watched a tambourine player, we're used to Tim who pours his soul into a tambourine. I had no idea what a tambourine really was until i felt the love he has for that tambourine. Now it feels like something is missing.
I do love how you guys appreciate their talents. Still shouldn't we appreciate the songwriters to manage to write these incredible songs that will go on the pages of music history
+PostmodernJukebox I must have missed something, because when I checked that link a few weeks ago, it didn't have anything listed for Australia / New Zealand :(
So much to love here. Von of course. The vocalist screen left is so fun... she's very pleased to have the biggest hair in the room. The tambourine (or not)/hand clap guy up center is everything.
Amazing how PMJ take songs I would never otherwise listen to and I find myself really enjoying them. This guys voice is awesome, why isn't he on Broadway?
I love this version, and I will be downloading it in a minute, but the original is the best I think. The singer here has an amazing vocal range, but I think it's just a song which lends itself best to the pop genre. Taylor Swift really nailed this. It's one of the most catchy songs i've ever heard. I'm a 23 year old guy who listens mostly to heavy metal or 40's-70's rock, but Taylor Swift made this one of my favourite songs.
@@milonisingh2336 oh no, we have different taste in music, you don't get my joke, so you have to be the mean kid. please insult me more, stranger on the internet who doesn't know anything about me
That was a great rendition of that song. VERY musical and creatively done in a unique and entertaining way. The lead singer is very talented as are all the other musicians. Would like to hear more from this guy.

This guy is a born entertainer. The little hand or hip movements he throws in there for flair are so great, and his range in voice is stunning to hear. You all turned a song that's irritating to hear into a masterpiece.
ScottBradleeLovesYa One does not simply let the tambourine be played by one who isn't The Tambourine Guy. But hopefully the next song will feature The Tambourine Guy without tambourine, tapdancing. Please??
I really love Von's voice, he is simply amazing singer! But the other hand, I like so much the vintage covers, many times are better than the original songs!
I stumbled no your channel yesterday and have been binging all clips ever since. You guys have forced me to break my habit of listening to death metal all day and I thank you for it. You have managed to turn all the pop song I dislike so much into something so organically seamlessly beautiful it's made this cold day bright and me happy like a sun in the Summer.
I wonder why pop doesn't invest in real musicians, and making the arrangements better like this. I think everybody would still love it instead of making it so electronic and sharp. BEATLES were the pop in that time.
That's the problem, the distribution of wealth is not balanced, there's a guy who's thinking where can we cut back in costs. But he doesn't get it, he's cutting back in the SOUL of music, music is about the people!!
***** How are synthesisers any different to electronic music in terms of "realness"? Also I think comparing The Beatles, who were innovative and influential, to current pop musicians who don't claim to be, is unfair. There have been a lot of successful but in no means groundbreaking musicians in the past. The only difference is that people have forgotten them. Minaj, Bieber and other musicians have their own audience who listen to music for different reasons that you listen to it. They have their own audiences, and they are successful at what they do. It may not be to your taste, but don't act like they aren't proper musicians because they don't meet your standards of what a musician is.
I think threre should be a responsability to educate tastes. Not just put the equivalent to p*rn on tv. I for once think it's unfair to call a channel MTV (music television) when you don't show music at all, just reality shows... Am I acting like it's not a proper music channel? Well it's not.
I think Von Smith has the correct voice for this song. He just stumbled a few parts which makes just shows how hard singing is without autotune. The original doesn't do justice to this cover.
This cover is awesome. So much better in a male voice with a different flow. It worked for Swift as a success but the actual song seems to have a future and life of it's own.
+Abbie Hoffman yep. I noticed earlier that Alex was not Tim (the overactive Tambourine Guy), so i jumped at the credits just to check. He's okay, i guess... but i miss Tim :(

So pop songs don't suck, it's just the music that's produced for them that sucks ass.
Ok hipster... i enjoy both
If you heard the music behind the songs you wouldnt hate them is what I tell people...
Well, the lyrics are also often pretty insipid and terrible if you listen to them.
It's not what you say...it's how you say it. That's why we can like songs that are in languages we don't understand. Show some real musical talent and we'll listen.

But hopefully the next song will feature The Tambourine Guy without tambourine, tapdancing. Please??
Given how crowded it was in that studio for this one, I'm not sure Tambourine Guy would've been such a good idea. I did miss him, though...
YES YOU ARE TOTALLY RIGHT
and a kazoo?
If you notice all the videos the tambourine guys in they're all in New York so he might still be living in new york
I think tambourine guy would have given this song/video and added extra energy...
I really love Von's voice, he is simply amazing singer! But the other hand, I like so much the vintage covers, many times are better than the original songs!
I love this station ,You learn the real words to the songs ,well done my friends,back ground girls are awesome,real music
I thought good music had stopped around 1990. PMJ have given me hope. Every song by PMJ is top quality.
This is so cool! Everyone has such good voices and the instrumental is awesome.
Give me more of Von covering pop songs originally sung by female artists. Please. We all need more of it.
I stumbled no your channel yesterday and have been binging all clips ever since. You guys have forced me to break my habit of listening to death metal all day and I thank you for it. You have managed to turn all the pop song I dislike so much into something so organically seamlessly beautiful it's made this cold day bright and me happy like a sun in the Summer.
That horn section.....omg!
Wow... I keep watching this performance and it remains unbelievable.
A great performer! Like this guy! thanks Von Makes me feel good about life!!
I wonder why pop doesn't invest in real musicians, and making the arrangements better like this. I think everybody would still love it instead of making it so electronic and sharp. BEATLES were the pop in that time.
That's the problem, the distribution of wealth is not balanced, there's a guy who's thinking where can we cut back in costs. But he doesn't get it, he's cutting back in the SOUL of music, music is about the people!!
***** You do realise that The Beatles used a lot of synthesiser in their later songs?
Are you comparing The Beatles to dubstep or justin bieber, or Nicky Minaj? I mean... Many rock bands used synths.
***** How are synthesisers any different to electronic music in terms of "realness"? Also I think comparing The Beatles, who were innovative and influential, to current pop musicians who don't claim to be, is unfair. There have been a lot of successful but in no means groundbreaking musicians in the past. The only difference is that people have forgotten them.
Minaj, Bieber and other musicians have their own audience who listen to music for different reasons that you listen to it. They have their own audiences, and they are successful at what they do. It may not be to your taste, but don't act like they aren't proper musicians because they don't meet your standards of what a musician is.
I think threre should be a responsability to educate tastes. Not just put the equivalent to p*rn on tv. I for once think it's unfair to call a channel MTV (music television) when you don't show music at all, just reality shows... Am I acting like it's not a proper music channel? Well it's not.
WHAT A VOICE WHAT A BAND,SOME ONE PLEASE PUT THESE ON THE ALBERT HALL LONDON THEY FULLY DESERVE THE FAME
My very last finals ever for undergrad are tomorrow, so afterwards I will be blasting these songs all day!
I hope they went well!
DaphieG thanks, they did; graduating tmr! :)
I think Von Smith has the correct voice for this song. He just stumbled a few parts which makes just shows how hard singing is without autotune.
The original doesn't do justice to this cover.
Von's mad vocal control gives me the shivers. That lead into the chorus from the bridge hits me deep.
This cover is awesome. So much better in a male voice with a different flow. It worked for Swift as a success but the actual song seems to have a future and life of it's own.
Can't quite put my finger on why, but this is my favorite video from you guys... maybe ever.
My new morning routine is coffee and Von to wake me up and put me in a good mood.
Did anyone notice that they credited Alex MacDonald as "not tambourine guy"?
+Abbie Hoffman DId you know the real Tambourine Guy? He is playing in other PMJ's videos, so i guess the explanation is for avoid confusion.
Right, I just love the way they credited him
+Abbie Hoffman yep. I noticed earlier that Alex was not Tim (the overactive Tambourine Guy), so i jumped at the credits just to check.
He's okay, i guess... but i miss Tim :(
the gurl right at the left stares into your soul
+Nicole Morris I'm in love with her.
+Nicole Morris it´s true!
No you're wrong. Look at the trombone guy at the right. He's look right into your soul actually. :D
O.O
Got to to get past the guy on the right........its his sister...watch out.
He’s what Overwhelmed Talent looks and sounds like.
Me encanta, el mejor cover!!! Son geniales!!!
Damn I never thought I could like the song
This guy is awesome!
Amo! Amo! Amo!
