Fun fact: Ariana Savalas is the daughter of Telly Savalas from the original Kojak series in the 70’s for those of you who are old enough to remember that show.

The blonde is Morgan James. She's Julliard trained and has been performing on Broadway for a while now. When they need someone to really belt, she's the one. Her versions of Maps, It's a Man's World, Dream On, and Take me to Church have an incredible amount of power. She also does a sort of solo version of Shut up and Dance that needs to be seen. The third singer is Ariana Savalas. When she's not singing husky torch-song versions of things like Criminal, Pony, and No Diggity, she has her own cabaret show. If you can catch a concert version of Pony, you can see how she works the crowd. Most of her PMJ work would be best viewed in a dimly lit, smoke-filled bar where Sam Spade and Phillip Marlowe meet to compare notes on rare birds, real, imaginary, and figurative. Not featured here, but if you're interested in musician to instrument ratios that aren't a strict 1:1, it's worth mentioning Gunhild Carling. She plays just about every instrument, and often more than one at once. She had versions of Dancing Queen and Happy with PMJ, and will play the bass and trumpet, or multiple trumpets at once.
The "man on the floor" who plays the bass is Haley's buddy from American Idol. She and Casey have done some cool collaborations (Hit the Road Jack, I Feel The Earth Move, and a lot of others). For the last 10 years they show up singing together. Thank you for doing this PMJ video!
OMG I love that version. When I met Morgan one time I asked her about it and she said they taped that on a whim while they were visiting their friends loft and heard the acoustics.
I'm having a hard time believing this is your first time seeing this video. This was my first PMJ video, years ago. I've seen them live four times now. Got to meet Haley, Casey, and Scott at after party meet and greets. Awesome people!
I had the please of seeing PMJ in concert in Ann Arbor Mi. Such talent! And the wardrobe changes were phenomenal! Casey Abrams, the bass player, was a contestant on American Idol some years back. So much talent in this group❤
Great reaction Britt! I know you did a live version of Haley singing Creep already, but you have to react to the same song from this tour. The 2nd singer is Morgan James and her cover of Aerosmith's Deam On with PMJ is worth a reaction. I've seen both Haley and Morgan live within the last year and really enjoyed both concerts!
Yes they tour ! It is on my bucket list ! They are up my way later this year ! If this treatment works i am there ! If not it will be close ! GodS blessings be with you !
Scott Bradley is a genius. The way he can take any song and re-arrange it is just brilliant. The first time seeing this I had no idea who Megan Trainor was or heard this song. Like many of PMJ's covers, they are better than the original, including this one. PMJ's own Kate Davis also did an adorable rendition of this song along with her clarinet that is also outstanding.
Oh you know you need to do the PMJ feat Haley - Creep. That version!!!!! Also PMJ feat Morgan James - Dream On. These jazzified songs are ballistically good!
Haley Reinhart and the blonde Morgan James did a Beatles cover 👉Deer prudence👈 that's amazing Morgan James was a classical singer. She does alot of Beatles songs.
This is my first time on your page, and you are my new favorite reactor. You are so flipping adorable! Thank you for giving an old lady a smile for the morning.
@@rogerwolstenholme2710 Telly Savalas had three wives and six children. Ariana was his youngest daughter. She recalls her childhood: QUOTE: Her father died when she was only seven, but she says, “I had seven years to remember what an amazing guy he was and why everybody loved him so much. And my father was constantly busy, but we were always with him. Places where kids were never allowed, restaurants where kids were never allowed, clubs and casinos, my dad did not care at all. He brought us everywhere. He always wanted us with him. He was the kind of guy that would never say no and always had a smile on his face.” He also hated houses, so Ariana and her brother Christian (from Telly’s third wife Julie Hovland) grew up at the Sheraton Universal Hotel in Universal City. “We literally lived in a hotel for six years,” she says. “We had an apartment there, and the bartenders and the people who played the piano were our friends. We used to hang out and run around the halls and just be crazy, and we didn’t think anything different existed.” After her dad died, her mother took them back to her native Minnesota. But “nothing happens in Minnesota,” so they moved back to LA and Ariana went to school there surrounded by the “30,000 members” of the Savalas clan who had mostly settled in LA after moving out from their native Garden City in New York (their own parents had immigrated from Yeraka in Sparta, and only Telly’s brother Teddy still remains in New York; Gus moved to LA, and George, the “Stavros” of Kojak legend, died on the west coast in 1985 from leukemia). “My family was around every single day,” Ariana remembers. “We would have pancakes at two in the morning, and my cousins would come over, and George’s kids would come over, and we’d always have everybody around all the time. The kind of person my dad was, he wasn’t a very private person. He liked to be surrounded by people.”
The second young lady is Morgan James, if you want to see something that will blow your mind, react to her cover of Dream On. I watch that video once a day. lol
Hello Britt, thanks for this, it's one of my favorites by PMJ. Loved watching and listening to your reaction. Haley and Casey, the bass player, went off on their own and did (Haley Reinhart - Can't Help Falling in Love ft. Casey Abrams), I think you'll like it.
Love that when you took a hit of that, make-believe cigarette baby girl. You should have been sitting in that videos.Singing right along with them. Yeah!!!
I'm one of Morgan James's biggest fans (she's the blonde second singer) She's was classically trained at Julliard as a Soprano, that's been on Broadway and is now doing her own writing and recording of R&B. You should check out her cover of Dream On by Aerosmith.
B - I love your reactions...because you "get it." Other reactors often look like deer in the headlights when they encounter a cover performance that's quirky and VERY different from the original. They analyze technique or restate the obvious...and overlook the fact that the performance meant to be playful and just plain FUN. You ham and glam right along with the performers...stepping INTO the fun!!! Always count on PMJ to deliver unexpected takes on the music...using veteran musicians and singers who know how to have fun!
Here's some more PMJ covers, Enjoy!! Don't Stop Believin' - Journey (ONE TAKE Vintage Postmodern Jukebox Cover) ruclips.net/video/UngXu2zwF9E/видео.html (my introduction to PMJ) I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - U2 (Gospel Soul Cover) ft.

Clearly, PMJ helped me countless of times to understand the lyrics!!! The song being played slower and clearer, I had so many "Oooooooh, that's what they said!!! 😮 "
If you haven't yet, you need to do Morgan James with PMJ "Dream On", She is the thunder for PMJ, Haley is the Lightning. Arianna is great with PMJ as well. (She is the daughter of Actor Telly Savalas) "Dear Prudence" with Morgan and Haley just getting together, sitting on a couch with Morgan's husband playing guitar, and tearing up a Beatles song. PMJ has so much.
There's a very good laid back version of the Beatles Dear Prudence by haley and morgan james (the blond). Looks like they're just relaxing in Morgan's home. Her husband is playing guitar.
Greetings Brit While I haven't heard every PMJ song / rendition, I will venture to conclude that their style is that 1940's Jazz / lounge singing style ala Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and the Andrew Sisters style. It also can be seen by (mostly) the wardrobe style. Personally, I like this version better than Megan's original. The 3 part harmony is direct throwback to the Andrew Sisters and other girl groups of the '40s. Yes, that is a bass. A cello is slightly smaller. It also has to be a bass to make it apropos for it is "All About the Bass".
PMJ - the second of the 3 woman singers is Morgan James, she does several songs with PMJ and she is astonishingly good. My favorie is the cover of the Maroon 5 song "Maps" she deos it Aretha style, she sings great and the PMJ musicians, as usual, are top tier.
I'm not sure if you know her but the blonde singing second is Morgan James and she's equally as amazing as Haley. She covered the song dream on by Aerosmith and it's mind blowing
To Sir, with Love film with Sidney Poitier Theme Song by Lulu ruclips.net/video/EV1qmmMwc9M/видео.html also here she is same song 45 years! later one of the best singers from Glasgow who never seems to age 64 yrs old here, ruclips.net/video/-uNnz4PQ80I/видео.html

The woman on the right is Morgan James, she does a killer version of Dream On, she is a fantastic singer
They own this song.
Absolutely fabulous ❤️🔥

You really appreciate the music, and I love it! ❤
So fun
They do this with all their covers, I love it.
I love the Meghan Trainer version, but this is great in a jazzy way.❤️
Take a look at Take me to Church. Just a piano and singer. It beautiful
Not only do they tour, but it’s one of the best live shows I’ve seen.

Welcome, to Morgan James about time!!!
Haley is amazing.
Haley vocal tool box is as big as they come ,to me she is one of the most talented vocal artists in the world and has been for the last 10 to 15 years

one more "Creep" version you have to react too. PMJ/Haley version of Creep. The hands down best version of Creep ever produced.
Check out Haley solo with PMJ. Creep and seven nation army. Plus her duet with Morgan singing Dear Prudence
Haley♥ If you haven't seen her video for the song "Shook", you owe it to yourselves . . . .
I loved the new York New York riff
You should watch Haley's Tin Cup performance of Oh My.
The blonde is Morgan James. She duets with Marc Broussard.
Casey and Haley were on American Idol together in 2011 and became very good friends.
