Oh crikey, and snap! It's literally months ago that I looked to see if maybe you'd reacted to this, and was disappointed but I really did hope you might enjoy and expand on (expound upon?) it one day!. Now I'm not just not disappointed, I'm certifiably chuffed to bits! "Get it, sis" FTW!!!
Wow, now that was fun! Never heard of PMJ. I like it! So old school in one way and interestingly up-to-date. Thus the name of the band I suppose. Anyway, new fan here so far. More please! Dangit Becca it"s all your fault! 😊❤
Savalass is a first rate burly-q performer and from her moves you can tell she is also a dancer. Her lower register is perfect for the final harmonies. Love her.
I was SO impressed just by this performance, and I’m not surprised given what you just shared! I’ll have to eventually dig into more of what she’s done, for sure!
great reacton... this was the first postmodern jukebox i saw and still one of my favorites. it does excellent job of representing the overall experience of what pmj does so well. not just the excellent vocalist, musicians and arrangement but meticulous implementation of "vintage" character though their outfits, expressions, movements and setting that virtually transfers you back in time. its also great how each of the women are unique in vocal attributes and styles yet can then also harmonize so well together... in addition, the dual bass play was very creative touch and notice how it ends with the bass getting the last word.... well, because its "all about the bass" 😎
Becca my friend you bring such lovely positive energy to your reactions. You are a definite soul sister & this song is AMAZING!! I too Love the Andrew sisters & have often remarked they needed to bring the crony sound back. This song does it splendidly. ❤
Great reactions - best of luck with this whole new year we're all working on. More Haley: Check out "Seven Nation Army" for another fun cover, and "Don't Speak" for a powerhouse performance. More Morgan: "Maps", "Take Me to Church", "Dream On". All of these are with PMJ, in various "vintage" styles. And here's a different sort of female duet: classical voices over a hard metal band ... and an orchestra ... and a chorus. I guarantee you've heard nothing like it: "Sancta Terra" with Floor Jansen and Simone Simons. (Floor is a 6'1" Valkyrie with one of the best voices on the planet, but that's another rabbit hole for another day.)
Thank you so much for the encouragement AND for all the suggestions, I’m making note of them all and adding to my playlist of things I want to make sure I get to at some point. Really appreciate you taking time to share all of this!💕
My goodness, that was a blast. I'm so glad you've clicked with PMJ. There's so much to go at. I'm taking credit for the intro by my badgering you, by the way 😂 The Home Free acapella version of this tune is also brilliant, but hilarious also. Home Free. Another can of worms... Much love xx
PMJ has a knack for turning "turd songs" into gemstones. Such as "Barbie Girl" covered by Morgan James and "Oops, I did it Again" covered by Haley . . . . .
@@BeccaDoss - Glad you caught the tribute riff to Ariana's father, who played a NYC detective on the Kojak TV show. 99% of reactors miss that completely! There's one other riff during Ariana's solo, and that's "Mr Sandman" when she sings ". . . a little more booty to hold at night." See if you can hear it when you listen again. Other trivia: On the first harmony with Haley and Morgan, Haley's singing the melody, with Morgan harmonizing under Haley's lead. On the second harmony, with Ariana and Morgan, Ariana's singing lead as an alto, with Morgan singing harmony on top as a first soprano. When the three girls come together for the final chorus, Ariana's singing the lower harmony as an alto, Haley's on the main melody as a 2nd soprano, and finally Morgan's harmonizing on top as a 1st soprano. With typical PC/Mac speakers, this isn't that obvious, but with a good set of headphones you can definitely pick out each of their parts. Finally, I really enjoyed your reaction - it was obvious early on that you were thoroughly enjoying what Scott Bradlee did with this arrangement, and that you, like several other reactors, have agreed that this cover is actually better than the Meghan Trainor original.
Casey and Haley met on the same season of Idol. That season was one that featured many firsts. Haley and Casey sing Moanin, which featured scatting, Casey playing stand-up bass sing jazz songs, Haley's dad playing lead guitar on one of her performances, Haley singing a Country song featuring her modeling skills. Imo, the best idol season ever, but then the worst too (thank you Randy Jackson for taking us there). Anyway, not leaving this link to react to, just for you to listen. ruclips.net/video/4n_Nh7kr0P0/видео.htmlsi=Y0EIgXELPZQaqZTF
Great reaction, PostModern Jukebox is a big rabbit hole to fall into, they have done so many great songs. Ariana's part is a bit small here, I can really recommend watching her PMJ cover of Bad Romance, she really gets to shine there and show what she can do. (which includes some amazing whistling.) Also Sarah Reich is tap dancing in that one and she is amazing.
Having just seen PMJ on tour less than 2 weeks ago, they still do this song but with different ladies who gradually make their way on stage for their section
I have been waiting for someone to point out the New York New York motif. Also you caught the double meaning of bass right away. PMJ originally did this with a single base playing vocalist called all about the (upright) bass. This adds so much with all the talent and harmonies but it is essentially the same arrangement and worth checking out on the side. More Haley please.
@@JRobertEllsworth-fp2yi I’m so glad you enjoyed the note on that “New York, New York” motif! I thought it was brilliant! The double entendre with bass was just too darn clever, I’m surprised some others maybe didn’t mention it, but to be fair, I’m also very heavily in the music world, and have been my whole life, including instrumental/orchestral music, so these things make my little music geek heart so happy.😊 I’m really looking forward to doing more Haley, and PMJ in general. Do you have any specific favorites you’d recommend I add to my to-react list?
@@BeccaDoss Come to think of it maybe it’s cuz I was around when New York New York was released that a recognized it so readily. Glad you want to continue down the PMJ and Haley rabbit holes. I suggest you make sure to tag Haley and include her name in the title to help the Haliens find your reactions. PMJ fans and Haliens are avid. Many of us are constantly looking for new reactions. For Haley / PMJ reactions Seven Nation Army Don’t Speak Black Hole Sun will give you a great start. Emma Smith honors Ella Fitzgerald in her style. Checkout One Week with PMJ. All the above are great material for reactions and everyone reacting to PMJ does them (except Emma Smith One Week). Haley has other collaborations and live performances worth reacting to so I would like to see you react to her original “Don’t Know How To Love You” performed for the documentary “An Impossible Project” at an historic hotel in Austria with a 40 piece orchestra direct to vinyl. ruclips.net/video/fbEW8BrNctI/видео.htmlsi=qS4Sag1ENkIMoyvo
Welcome to the PMJ Fan Club! Now on to "Burn" Sydney Australia - ruclips.net/video/q5E2IsozXBQ/видео.html then Morgan & PMJ's cover of "Dream On" - ruclips.net/video/Yq4KA0mUnC8/видео.html , "Maps" ruclips.net/video/8gO_lxThc1M/видео.html and "I Really Don't Care" ruclips.net/video/EddjOiFcp9Y/видео.html . Morgan and Haley cover "Dear Prudence" ruclips.net/video/wv_Xhzwvjyg/видео.html is also a must! Then down the rabbit holes of Morgan and Haley's other tunes on-line. You will not be disappointed...
I've watched probably 100 reaction videos of this song and every time I listened to Arianna sing, I have thought that it sounded like New York, New York. You are the first person to mention it. Also Morgan James is Julliard trained. Several people suggested PMJ's Andrew Sisters style of the Spice Girls' Wannabe. If you haven't done it yet, please do!
Honestly, I didn’t catch it when I first listened, but in the editing process, it was much more noticeable, so I tried to at least add that note in the video. The subtlety of adding that in was sheer genius! I am SO looking forward to that Wannabe cover. Funnily enough, that was the recommended video on my screen when this one ended, and it made me laugh because I had just gone on a whole thing about the Andrews Sisters.😁💕
I think you might enjoy another cover of this song. Home Free, one of the modern masters of a cappella, covered this song with a country flair and threw in some humor.
You probably won't get too many recommendations for this one, but you should check out Haley's (w/PMJ) version of Tove Lo's "Habits". I was not personally familiar with this song until I saw Haley do it. But I have since familiarized myself. First off, it's a quintessential Haley performance. Secondly, it's kind of a pitiful song. Maybe it's just me, being a recovering alcoholic, but the song is dark AF and even the original the music doesn't match how dark and pitiful the lyrics are. But Haley's performance of it, in typical PMJ fashion, takes that contrast to a new level. If you didn't listen to the words it's like a playful flapper girl, Betty Boop sounding song. I watched it in a deep dive on Haley, but I found the song itself to be a separate cathartic experience...again, likely because of the rock bottom story telling that I can personally relate to. Even if you don't do a reaction to it, you should watch it yourself. And if you do, force yourself through the Tove Lo version first. I don't say "force" because it's bad, but rather because from my experience with your videos, you are likely to have a visceral reaction to it. Might be fun to do a dual reaction, original then PMJ version. Separately, you are likely to get a lot of recommendations to do PMJ's (also Haley) version of White Stripes "Seven Nation Army". Also, just a mind bending performance from Haley. Jessica Rabbit incarnate.
Infectious reaction. You made me smile. Aside from the usual video requests of Haley and PMJ, you should consider reacting to Haley doing her own thing. A video of Haley singing with her dad on acoustic guitar, at Chess Records in Chicago. She sings the best version of Can’t Find My Way Home, and an original, Don’t Know How To Love You. ruclips.net/video/omtsHEs2g0w/видео.htmlsi=3SixYLspO3SjQWTE Second video Haley singing I Put A Spell On You, live on tour. ruclips.net/video/LCWwOtdf728/видео.htmlsi=DtzfcAAM2M2Xs2JK
Some recommendations for you. 1. Home Free with the Butts Remix (I know your immediate reaction is going to be "this is about butts?" ... yes, it is .... however, it's fit's good clean fun, a satire and only shows male butts, plus they are a fantastic accapella group! For more Morgan James, you can't go wrong with her Dream On, a cover of an Aerosmith tune. And., Home Free also did a funny version of "All About That Bass" .. try it !
Morgan James in the blond, she has also been featured on quite a few PMJ songs. Casey in in fact the guy that started off playing the bass, he was on American Idol with Haley and they have since become quite close and worked together on a lot of projects. The brunette on the left is Ariana Savalas, the daughter of the late acting legend Telly Savalas. This is the only thing I have been personally exposed to her on, but she must have some other accolades to be working with such pros.
Casey is the only one I recognized (aside from Haley), but I did end up looking it up once Morgan started her verse because I didn’t want to be speaking incorrectly about her or Ariana. I was so impressed by all of them! My first exposure to both Morgan and Ariana.💕
@@saltydroog854 Oh no worries! I was just mentioning it because I ALMOST didn’t do it (like my comment closer to the beginning), so I appreciate you sharing the details here!😊
Funnily enough, at the very end of this video that video thumbnail popped up on the endcard, and I immediately knew I had to do it! Looking forward to it!😊

Morgan James is also an accomplished Broadway singer.
Haley is the best singer working today. And the best jazz singer in a few generations.
She’s amazing, agreed! Continues to amaze me!

Pretty ironically, Morgan James is kinda a Barbie doll.
