_Could be a James Bond's opening. Fantastic version!_
Sería genial con la voz de Amy Winehouse

Uuuuuuu, guuurrrrlllll, yaaaaassss!!!!
That was my first thought too!
Same thought!
Didn't realize that this song is actually pretty great lyrically before hearing this
A lot of songs have great lyrics that get lost in the music
Alot of songs in annoyingly catchy music have good lyrics when u listen to it.
Neither did I. I prefer it to the original.
Same here...
@@radioactiveferrets specially if english is not your first language and understanding songs gets a bit too much difficult because the music and the way that sometimes they drag the letter hahaha
And to think she placed THIRD on American Idol all those years ago... she has one of the best voices I've ever heard.
Wow...
I agree, sweet Jesus
We don’t talk about her placing third because that was BULLSHIT! I literallly boycotted AI after that season cause she should won hands down. Jordan, Lakisha, and Melinda shoulda been in the top 3 that year was ridiculous
It took me a minute to realize omg that's Melinda from American Idol! She was one of my all time favorite contestants and she should have won the whole dang competition.
Melinda was my AI that season!!!
I don't know why I'm getting recommended this in 2022, but omg this is the most perfect version of Toxic I've ever heard
Just imagine stealthily stealing a gold and diamond necklace from a museum in the middle of the night, but also having some kind of affair mixed in the background of it all.
That’s what this song feels like.
Oh yesss. It totally has a kind of sexy spy movie sound
you steal from the one you're having an affair with
Or any james bond movie
What is my perfect crime? I break into Tiffany's at midnight. Do I go for the vault? No, I go for the chandelier. It's priceless. As I'm taking it down, a woman catches me. She tells me to stop. It's her father's business. She's Tiffany. I say no. We make love all night. In the morning the cops come and I escape in one of their uniforms. I tell her to meet me in Mexico but I go to Canada. I don't trust her. Besides, I like the cold. Thirty years later, I get a postcard. I have a son and he's the chief of police. This is where the story gets interesting: I tell Tiffany to meet me in Paris, by the Trocadero. She's been waiting for me all these years; she's never taken another lover. I don't care, I don't show up. I go to Berlin. That's where I stashed the chandelier.
- dwight schrute, the office
Feels kinda James Bond-ish too lol
This song makes me want to steal a billion-dollar diamond necklace at a museum in broad daylight and walk out like nothing happened.
This is most likely a reference of something I don't get
That's weirdly specific, but same.
Idk why I thought Henry Stickmin with that scenario, but also same.
@@pakacha8999 To typical heist movies from the 1960s and 1970s...
Well, diamonds are forever.
Her vibrato is so consistent, very beautiful, soulful, and powerful voice. She gives me neo-soul, ledisi vibes and technique with a Jill Scott garnish. I would like to hear Ledisi do this arrangement. This video is amazing, A+!!!
Wow, I have goosebumps!
@@sydneymomma11 same!
I love you Brittney, but this is how the song was meant to be sung!
Ledisei would be great!!!!
Everything about this is just...wow. Melinda's voice (and dress is so pretty!) the arrangement, the 40s femme fatal feel. This is truly one for the ages!
When you're listening in 2020 and literally the song is 17 years OLD..
The song's almost legal-
Dam that's crazy!! I'm 17
what oh wait woah
I actually had to google it because I didn't want to belive in you, but damn you're right...
Shut up! Just shut up. I'm gonna go cry or something
I already loved the original version of this song. But this cover actually made me FEEL the song
TheStaceyAdamz
You should look up the 80s version. It’s the best one.
TheStaceyAdamz yesssssss
О да! Меня тоже!
Yass, me too. I’ve already loved Britney since long ago and this one just hit the spot. Feels refreshing.
Same here. I used to sing it to my boyfriend 😁💥
i think of the word "perfection" but I don't feel it's enough to describe this performance.
I have actual goosebumps all over. Best version I've ever heard. It feels so slinky and powerful!
I was smiling the entire time!
slinky and powerful are words I couldn't normally imagine together but it describes this really well
This version made Toxic suddenly epic. Got a real Nina Simone vibe.....
I agree, but Nina's voice is unique
Yeah a little bitch
Yuss
How in any way is this like Nina Simone...?
I love Nina
daaamn... sounds just like a bond-theme!
Right
i would love to see that movie.
Yes! I could so see this sung by Bond's lovers who many meet a dire end
They should actually just do this yes!
YASSSS!
It's amazing how a catchy song can be bumped up to a whole new level with a well trained voice and skilled arrangement.
Man I fucking LOVE 30’s and 50’s style music, it can be so powerful and soothing at the same time, it comes in so much variety it’s just- it’s INCREDIBLE how music was during those years, I hope we can bring it back like we’re doing for fashion
My only regret is that RUclips didn't recommend this to me sooner
If you like this you should I try “Our last nights “ cover of “Toxic”
She should be dripping in gold and diamonds to match her vOICE OMG I LOVE HER🥺
Pretty sure being dipped in molten gold would kill her voice
@@gingermcgingin1733 that was so unbelievably stupid but it made me laugh so damn hard
This vocalist is stunning. She makes sappy pop songs actually sound powerful!!
True. But only because the song was not garbage in the first place. The lyrics finally had a chance to stood out for themselves and the band made them stand out. With the original pop version, so much potential of this song was buried, but the producers wanted it like that. We can consider ourselves lucky to have witnessed THIS OUTSTANDING version of the song. I would like to know what Britney thinks of the arrangement itself as well as the performance of Melinda. I really love this version, while being indifferent to the original.
Baby, can't you see? I'm callin'
A guy like you should wear a warnin'
It's dangerous, I'm fallin'
There's no escape, I can't wait
I need a hit, baby, give me it
You're dangerous, I'm loving it
Too high, can't come down
Losing my head, spinning 'round and 'round
Do you feel me now?
With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride
You're toxic, I'm slipping under
With a taste of a poison I'm on paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic?
Continua depois do anúncio
It's getting late to give you up
I took a sip from my devil's cup
Slowly, it's taking over me
Too high, can't come down
It's in the air and it's all around
Can you feel me now?
With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride
You're toxic, I'm slipping under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic?
Don't you know that you're toxic?
(With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride)
You're toxic, I'm slipping under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride
You're toxic, I'm slipping under (toxic!)
With a taste of a poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
Intoxicate me now, with your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now (I think I'm ready now)
Intoxicate me now, with your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now

I heard Britney Spears did a cover on this song.
Vusumzi sokhamo it wasn't as good IMO. I don't really like all that pop stuff ;)
Bruh this is *her* song Britney made this song dude
it was a joke
Insane_mad it’s a joke as it’s the 1930s version 😑
WHOOSH
I'm STILL bitter that she didn't win her season of American Idol. This arrangement is phenomenal and Melinda is obviously outstanding. Excellent.
Well look at American Idol now....
+Bat5hade what do you mean ?
+cassiuswatt It's nonexistent and the winners go nowhere.
Lol, I'm glad I'm not the only one who's still salty about that. I pretty much stopped watching AI after that season. Just couldn't take it seriously anymore.
American Idol is a joke. Haley Reinhart didn't win her season as well. Haley. If you don't know who I'm talking about, look up the perfomances she did with this channel, post modern jukebox. And look up her American Idol perfomances, too. That woman's got such a powerful voice, she's got some talent. But people in the music industry no longer care about talent. :(
Seguro seré el único que comenta en español pero sigo anonadado con la voz de esta mujer. Es tan limpia y perfecta, realmente le da sentido a cualquier canción y me hace viajar a los 40's
No, no eres el único y particularmente, si, coincido con muchos comentarios, esta versión está mejor que el original.
No, no eres la única 😊👌
Esta version es espectacular🤩
Increíble todo desde la voz ,la banda y el arreglo,lo único es que viajamos a los 30s 🤗
Esta versión es tan buena 💕
ASTONISHING. THE MOMENT. THE LIFE. THE STAGE. HER VOICE IS AMAZING. SO BEAUTIFUL. SO DEMANDIMG. IVE NEVER HEARD A JAZZ PIECE SO PERFECTLY ARRANGED.
ENCORE ENCORE!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤧🤩🤩
God. Your voice is so perfect for this song. The rough texture just makes this song so sexy. The vibe is perfect. Congratulations!!! Keep shining!!!
Queen. 👸
@@kickinitWithKitt No, she's the Queen 👸🏿
Yeah! That version makes me wanna have sex!💃🤭

This song is everything, please do more songs with Ms Doolittle. This woman with that voice for this song was GOLD
i love how you can see that she's feeling the music into her bones. her voice is so incredible i loved every second of this.
That is the only version of Toxic I ever want to hear again. Amazing characterization, incredible voice, powerful musical choices.
This is my favorite version. Have you heard the Postmodern Jukebox one though? Really freakin' good too! ruclips.net/video/ZILsHowUjpQ/видео.html
I also like the rock version by Our Last Night.
@@katamyvega Surely you're being sarcastic, yet when carefully reading your words I am perplexed as it reads as though your comment is sincere. I am forcing myself to believe you are sarcastic. In any case, I kindly request that you reply to my comment and finally satisfy my frustrating inquisition. Thank you KATHERINE.
@@grants.reckless.mindf--- Honestly, I'm not sure what happened there. If I had to guess, I'd say that I grabbed the link from this page and then got my browser tabs mixed, thinking that I was commenting on another "Toxic" cover video. I imagine it was probably the Melanie Martinez version I meant to comment on.
I'm not entirely sure this song should ever be performed any other way.
I for one will never listen to the other one willingly ever again!
This is one of their better covers. Not that the talent is never there, but just that the singer and or the composition dont fit the era or style they're trying for. This one is perfect. You could put a filter on this and not know the difference
The link used to be my fav cover of Toxic, until I saw Melinda today. ruclips.net/video/B0phItaoKNM/видео.html
Thank you, thought i was the only one. I feel after 2014 the quality in the singers they pick for covers really slipped. Now most of the time its so so. But every once in a while they really nail it.
Absolutely agree

I wish youtube could tell me how many times I've rewatched this song. I just can't get tired of it and it's been months since I first heard it. Melinda Doolittle's voice is just gorgeous; I don't know if I would like this cover as much as I do if anyone else sang it.
The arrangement is insanely good!
It's official...this version of 'Toxic' *should* be in a James Bond opener!
I have spoken...
Labyrinth ❤
Agustina ....Yaaass! :-)
*This is the way!*
@@elfiex.x ...Mando would be proud!
Sounds like Shirley Bassey in from Goldfinger, ngl
Oh my lord, I am in love with this
Love her voice. The girl can sing. What a ride. Simply Beautiful.
Goosebumps!!
This makes a good opening for the next James Bond film "Toxic Blue"
Jack Davids Ooooo that’s good
I'm a simple gay, I see toxic by Britney Spears and i click
I'm a simple gay vintageboi, I see a comment of a gay and i like it
@God [Verified] Gang (y)
why saying it? (just asking)
sup gay?
Lol 😁😉
This woman is effing phenomenal! One of the absolute best PMJ covers...I’m going to remember her. Off the charts
Once again PMJ has outdone the original.
Imagine this: it starts out a James bond movie, but when bond get's held up my an important lady, his supposed love interests has to preform the heist alone. Not using her charm to fool the guards, but exuding so much confidence she just walks by them. This song plays and cuts between her putting on perfect black gloves and taking the valuable item and the woman bond is with leading him onto the dance floor in a wood brown and gold room full of socialites in headresses. All bisexuals die immediately.
This would definitely kill me, but i my god i would watch that scene on repeat
I am a bisexual ghost, can confirm this is how i died
I need this in my life.
Girl please become a movie director
I died reading this.
4:05, just holy crap
Talk about a send off for a song, right!? What a way to finish this masterpiece.
Best part!
Goosebumps
Gave me chills!
Omg, the chorus! I raised my eyebrow and mouthed "Wooooooow!" I love how she owned this song! Whew! *fans self*
Toxic이 이렇게 바뀔 수 있을지 몰랐습니다.
보컬분의 목소리 뿐만 아니라 에티튜드까지 모든게 완벽합니다.😍💕
please do cover with Melinda again! She is fabulous!
This sounds amazing! Love the "I'm. Slipping. Under" part towards the end!
3:49. Best part of the arrangement.
@ Thank you for the time mark! Fantastic moment
Yeah. I’m trying to work out why it’s so effective. I think because it’s not as predictable. The singer is caught between submitting to the forward march of the music and losing her capacity to submit to it.
@@laurahoughton1289
Could it just possibly partly due to the fact that Melinda Doolittle has a far better voice, and is a far superior singer to Britney? Then there is also the PMJ arrangement which is far more varied than Britney's, and there's such a good match between voice and instrumental backing arrangement? In other words, it's far better if you think consider sheer musicality.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FABULOUS!
2024 out there!
Give this a try.
That voice!!! And the instrumental!!!!
songs that you want to have a dramatic spy romance to
The lyrics is more beautiful in this version. I can feel it.
Her voice is unbelievable. Love everything bout this
How did I not hear this until today?! July 2023! It's fantastic 💛✨
I LOVE MELINDA DOOLITTLE!!!! Good to see her again.
SAME
she's brilliant
Omg! I haven't seen her since American Idol! She's still as fabulous as ever!
was wondering if anyone remembered her from that! Still my favourite contestant I think.
I was disappointed when she didn't win.
She was my pick to win that year. It's why I'm watching this today. Happened to see her and clicked.
Her performance of W.O.M.A.N. on that show has never been bettered. Glad to see her still performing as she is ace!
이노래가 이런 느낌일줄이야~
매혹적이네요~♥
her voice makes me so flustered AGHHH SO SEDUCTIVEEE I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS VERSIONNNN
slayer. dress this woman next time. Her voice drips glamor and danger. She needs to be the James Bond brand. Wow.
“Drips glamour and danger” feels so right as a description
PREACH.
Yesss. Very smooth voice with a gorgeous, strong range. 😍
yes, YES!!! JEWELS! DONE UP HAIR!!! RINGS! AND RINGS! AND *MORE RINGS!!! YAAAAAS!!!*
*GLEAMING NAILS* !!!! AAAAAAAAHHHH YAAAAAAS
*KILLER HEELS!!!!!!!!*
One of PMJ's best,not ashamed to say,she is pure gold and the arrangement is extraordinary
I didn’t think it was possible for any version of this song to sound better than the original, but you proved me wrong when you sang the very first few notes!
This is absolutely jamming and her voice is immaculate
This is yet another "artist" (like Haley or Casey) who received rave critical acclaim yet refused to dumb down their performance. No need to show the words - her clarity is her hallmark. I know Melinda and she is just as nice and talented as she appears. What a terrific voice - incredible control and enunciation not to mention that husky tone. Stunning arrangement, voice, performance and interpretation!! Great Melinda!
I literally clapped after watching this. All by myself, alone in the room. Wow.
Same mood after the cover
Never noticed until now how good are this lyrics. Loving this version.
Her voice is heavenly! She has such good control too, omg I could listen to her sing forever. And the musicians gave me chills.
Who else got chills on those high notes??
Get out new album, "Squad Goals" here: smarturl.it/pmjsquad
A very good album , too bad Robyn is not featured in any of the tracks :(
I most definitely did, that for sure!
sweet voice ..great sound and excellent drummer!!! ..awesome!!
brilliantly! Bravo!!!
Please do a led zeppelin song with Haley! Babe I'm gonna leave you would be epic
When she says the word "I'm" with that note. It's maple syrup. I love her voice.
I just saw Charles Cornell's latest video. It's an analysis of Toxic, and somehow it led me to you guys. You've done so many great things, you're mindblowingly cool!
Same
Me too!
Same
me too
Saaaaame
Mind blown 🤯🤯🤯 stunning, I will always love this song 🎵
her voice is so smooth-i can only dream of singing like that :")
What a voice, she told a story, she sang the damn thing!!! 😍😍😍
와...소름돋았어...목소리 너무 좋으시다...
Omg Melinda! I was obsessed when she was on that show.
As always, I'm blown away. I've been listening to music for over 55 years, and this is the best stuff I've heard in the last 20.
Thank you, Scott Bradlee, for freeing me from musical ennui!
my pleasure!
4:05 - 4:20 i can breath under water with the depth of her voice
Melinda is an amazing singer!
i love how they're all just feeling the music
I never liked this song but when I hear jazz renditions of it, I suddenly can’t get enough of it.
Morgan Douglas
Same with Oops I Did It Again, Seven Nation Army and Creep. The brilliant PMJ arrangements with Haley's superb vocals completely transform the songs, the originals of which I didna like.
Chills! This literally gave me goosebumps!! The lyrics came alive and have new meaning
this arrangement is amazing.
I got goosebumps and had wicked smile on my face.
this is crazy way to sing to sing this song. hats off.
girl just take my wig, just take it
She already snatched my weave
Notice how shes rocking her natural hair too. This is a no wig zone🙆
666th like. Yes
I wanted to throw my shoe! It was amazing!
Sis could’ve asked nicely instead of ripping my scalp out 😭😭
This is legit one of the best covers on this channel. What a voice
She is sooo beautiful!
This was a brilliant arrangement!!
the musicianship of the ensemble is out of this world!
Could you engine going in a time machine back to the 1930's and playing some of our music at fancy agents and seeing if they'd enjoy it
Notice me Senpai That'd fuck up the whole music timeline, creating a paradox. Discounting the fact that, if time travel were indeed possible, humans would not be able to pass through time.
Notice me Senpai I mean, they might, but chances are any songs we introduce would be forgotten, like the majority of songs from any time period
Phil Lester you're a genius
Jamie Metcalfe you must be fun at parties
*imagine ?
Those 1.1K people who disliked need to seriously reevaluate their lives
Oh my god I live for this Version of the song
This video needs smoke and cigarettes and cigars and women in long gowns with feather boas and men and zoot suits. I need to have a 20s 30s or 40s feel and vibe. That matches the song and her voice the Slowdown sultry silky version
Its dangerous and I'm loving it
Wow, just wow
THE VOCALS SO LIT~
Yes, Melinda! You neeeeed to do some more songs with her.
I'd absolutely *love* to see a Haley Reinhart/Melinda Doolittle duet/face-off/whatever. Those two voices in one song would be legendary!
Wow, I've gone over half my life without knowing the actual lyrics to toxic, and just assuming a lot of it was sexy gibberish. Thank you!
chrisserrific the lyrics are so simple how can you not know the lyrics?💀
Dude I’m Spanish and I’ve always known what Britney was saying. y’all only listen to the beat and turn off the vocal part of the songs or what? 😂
So you never heard the song before? How do you assume lyrics lol
Gawd her voice!! Out of this world!
6 or 7 years they released this video and I'm still here listening to it over and over again
I love that cover! An awesome PMJ debut, one of my favorite PMJ cover!
PMJ is like the new home for American Idol alumni or something
With your avatar this sounds so _deliciously_ naughty. Rrrrrr
i know! and I love it!! nice to see alums doing something great!
It's groovy baby yeah.
There are a couple off the last couple of seasons of The Voice that would be phenomenal with PMJ. India Carney is one.
mslpfanatik India could and would own something on PMJ! Gospel cover of ANYTHING!
Ganhou uma densidade e um drama essa música que eu tô sem fôlego. Incrível a interpretação, Britney deu um ar quase perverso para a música, uma procura pela pessoa e até obsessão. Quanto a essa versão, a sensação de que era algo beirando a abstinência trouxe um sufoco tão grande que o refrão veio como um alívio! Muito bommm!!!!
WOW. Just WOW.
