+MutatedUnicorn See the upside of it: you have a headstart and if you use it now, you can be simply amazing at something at a later age which will throughly impress people younger and older than you. So get to it!
I truly cannot fathom how Scott Bradley's mind works. Literally NO ONE else would think of taking a great pop ballad by Cindy Lauper, turn it into a smokey jazz number, and then have an unknown 14 year old girl sing it. Oh, and somewhere along the line he figured this song needed a harp too. A HARP. The end result? THE BEST cover of Time After Time anyone has ever heard. Bravo!
Love the fact that PMJ highlights talent like this. Good on you, Caroline. Being this astounding at only 14 is mindblowing, and you've got an exceptional future ahead of you.
+Southern Fried I think because as someone who sings, it's amazing that a 14yr old would have such control and style. I took lessons for a few years to learn control,breathing,etc.
Now this is a great way to discover and showcase new talent instead of subjecting them to ridicule on reality TV shows with judges who are qualified to judge paint drying. Well done that man, keep up the good work!
Ridicule, what a joke, stop and think about the forum you posted this on, its called the internet aka the biggest Bully Forum in the world...at least the judges say it to your face instead of hiding behind a fake picture/caricature...jmo
What a wonderful collective this young woman found herself with. She has a great voice, and the musicians with her supported that voice beautifully. Great work, Caroline, Scott and everyone else
She's 14????? Are you kidding me? She sounds like she could be 41. I had low expectations when I clicked this video but I was completely blown away. She sounds amazing.
I've had the honor of performing at a concert where Caroline and her band Profusion performed a couple months ago. My performance was after theirs and I'm only an amateur singer....the anxiety was freakin real. They killed it.
I love this. She goes to school with my son, and I have been astounded by her voice from day one. It is unbelievable to me that adults would take the time to troll a child. I am positive if everyone was bold enough to follow their dreams the negative comments would subside. The band and her voice as such a great combination. ❤️
I have a horrible habit of playing a video and then getting distracted by my phone. As soon as Caroline started singing -- all my attention was on her. Her voice gave me goosebumps! So much talent!
What the hell she is only 14 years!!!!! she sing with more soul that many singers out there, this is actually one of my favorite songs in the world. Thanks pmj great rendition I am sure cyndi lauper will love this
Damn that voice, appearance, and how she carries herself during the song is just overflowing with maturity, especially in skill. She is, without it being an overstatement, amazing. Great to see someone like her being presented on Postmodern Jukebox.
This Cyndi Lauper album was the first record I ever owned (age 3) and this version is simply amazing. The more incredible talent PMJ unearths, the more I think RUclips needs to change their videos' thumbs up/thumbs down buttons to "thumbs up" and "I wouldn't know real musical talent if it crab-walked across my face."
This girl and her band, Caroline & The Priority, just rocked our local Battle of the Bands. Anyone blown away by this young girl's astounding skill should hear her live with a bunch of other teenagers killing it on stage. She's gonna be doing some great things
Wow. Just wow. I was going to say something about her looking way older than her age, but I deleted it all after hearing her performance. Kudos to her. That was incredibly beautiful! Keep it up!
I can'r listen to your version, without crying. I mean the great voices you work with hit me everytime, but never that hard! I love her voice! Much love!
+Franziska v. Tassel Caroline has such a talent to move you with her voice! If you'd like to download the song, it's available now! itunes.apple.com/il/album/swing-the-vote!/id1103495080?app=itunes&ign-mpt=uo%3D4
+Caroline Alexis So glad that you enjoyed this video! If you'd like to get the song for yourself, it's available on iTunes! itunes.apple.com/il/album/swing-the-vote!/id1103495080?app=itunes&ign-mpt=uo%3D4
+Claudette Purisima Just goes to show our age of consent laws in the US are pretty messed up. They do it better in Europe, but they also don't have sex stigmatized as we do in the states.
+bulbinking it's about mental maturity more than physical maturity in the States. Just because somebody looks like a woman doesn't mean they're mentally or emotionally ready to be treated like one.
Sara Aldrich Anthony De Tie Because you can't be mentally mature until you reach a specific age, right? Sorry but thats not how your brain or body works. I guess you also think all the people in europe and canada are pedophiles right?
bulbinking yes, that's correct. The brain doesn't finish completely developing until around age 21, so even at age 18 there's going to be some more growth in mental maturity. You're right in that 17 isn't that different than 18, but when you're 14, you still have a long way to go. Besides, the 14-16 age of consent in other countries only applies to adults under the age of 21. If you're over that, it's 18. The United States is just a little more general about it than others.
She's obviously talented, she's got a lot of growth to go through in the future. Good performance, I look forward to see how she improves over time with all her vocal training. She definitely did a lot better than most would.
Amazing. I look forward to hearing you again soon Caroline, you're voice is angelic & soulful & it's very hard to imagine you're 14, but no matter, beauty obviously comes in every size & at any age or at any moment...Time After Time...I Thank you Caroline you're such a gifted girl 💐 but I'm sure u already know that. 💝
Yo! Caroline! You are going places! You have an amazing voice! Better than most current "adult" artists! Keep it up girl! I'll definitely be looking for your debut record!
The sign of a really great song is that it will stand being re-arranged. Different singers, styles, keys, etc. This is really good, and she has a great voice for one so young. And the beauty of that is it should only get better. Thank you guys.
+Anindita Kusuma Listya While the genius of the PMJ project is about the retooling of contemporary popular songs with more classic instrumentation, I sometimes imagine them casting American popular standards of the 20s--60s in a fresh fashion. Might the innocence or the coy sophistication of that songbook be awkwardly received? tl;dr--the young lady's voice is sweet and rich; may PMJ help her along to a good career.
Please stop criticising her looks this girl is only 14!Anyone who knows makeup and hair knows that it obviously changes your entire appearance depending on how you do it.Wipe it off and she will look 14.
+sarah lafleur I think they're just wondering why the PMJ team would decide to do her hair and makeup that way instead of letting her just.. look like her age. (I'm sort of assuming they have a hair and makeup person, considering that their videos are so good)
I WENT TO SEE PMJ, LAST NIGHT...AND THEY WERE FANTASTIC. YES, I KNOW IM SHOUTING BUT I'M SO EXCITED. Casey Abrams, Von Smith Haley Reinhart, and the great Scott Bradlee!! Plus the rest of the gang!
Beautiful. Thank you PMJ. My wife just told me that her favorite part of last year was us attending your concert in Dallas. That is pretty cool. Keep up the great work!
WOW. Can't wait to hear more from this talented young lady. We only get one per generation of these vocal proteges; it could be her. Glad to hear that a young female singer in this era can do more than just belting and runs, and actually bend a note and interpret a lyric. It's not easy to take on the Great Cyndi Lauper but she does and it shines!
+Nukelover yeah I get that. But even if she had less make up, more age appropriate clothing and shoes, different hair style, I feel like she'd still look older than her age. ALOT of kids now a days look much older than they actually are.
Can people younger than me please stop being better than me at things?
ikr

Try this one by Eva Cassidy ruclips.net/video/KWvPOJOYqGA/видео.html
Not the best cover.... the best version.
her voice is about two decades older than she is, my God
Love the fact that PMJ highlights talent like this. Good on you, Caroline. Being this astounding at only 14 is mindblowing, and you've got an exceptional future ahead of you.
I couldn't agree more.
Yes, Caroline is 14. And yes, her voice is THAT amazing:)
Download the song here: smarturl.it/pmjvote
Guys, do you really come to Moscow 14 May?
+PostmodernJukebox OMG At 14 I was badly singing the Poke-rap. Awesome! I hope you get her for more songs in the future!
I'm calling BS on the "14 years" :P
That's really impressive.
+PostmodernJukebox I really don't see what her age has to do with anything!?
+Southern Fried I think because as someone who sings, it's amazing that a 14yr old would have such control and style. I took lessons for a few years to learn control,breathing,etc.
Now this is a great way to discover and showcase new talent instead of subjecting them to ridicule on reality TV shows with judges who are qualified to judge paint drying. Well done that man, keep up the good work!
A lot of the singers with PMJ are Idol alumni actually.
Ridicule, what a joke, stop and think about the forum you posted this on, its called the internet aka the biggest Bully Forum in the world...at least the judges say it to your face instead of hiding behind a fake picture/caricature...jmo
She's insanely talented. I can't belief her pitch range for her age. I want to meet her. I would buy her album in a heartbeat!
What a wonderful collective this young woman found herself with. She has a great voice, and the musicians with her supported that voice beautifully. Great work, Caroline, Scott and everyone else
I would've thought this girl was 25 or older. Her voice is angelic
She's 14????? Are you kidding me? She sounds like she could be 41. I had low expectations when I clicked this video but I was completely blown away. She sounds amazing.
14 likes on this comment seems about right. Let's keep it that way, youtube
If ever there was an example of somebody born to do something, it's this young singer.! Wow. Thank you, PMJ for introducing us to Caroline!
She doesnt LOOK 14, or sings like one, amazing voice for someone her age
Very mature, professional
Firey Flower look at her eyes. They give it away that she's young
14 years old and a jazz diva in the making. Go Caroline! :D
So much soul in such a young voice.
Her soul must be 1000 years old, and I love it.
She'll be singing the theme for a James Bond film within 10 years. Great stuff.
Bond didn't make it that long...
you got about 2 years left lol
I've had the honor of performing at a concert where Caroline and her band Profusion performed a couple months ago. My performance was after theirs and I'm only an amateur singer....the anxiety was freakin real. They killed it.
+Kamil Sledz That's so cool!
Damnnnn she's 14 ? When I was 14 I normally had my tshirt on backwards
😂Seriously, I looked ragged and had no clue what was going on.
dylan saeng I was busy feeling sorry for myself and eating stacks of pita bread...
I'm 26 and I still do that hahaha
pants
You were a fan of Kris Cross too?
fab...love the arrangement and vocal interpretation ! so difficult with such an iconic tune, but you guys pulled it off
And NOW, she is in American Idol! What a talent ❤
I love this. She goes to school with my son, and I have been astounded by her voice from day one. It is unbelievable to me that adults would take the time to troll a child. I am positive if everyone was bold enough to follow their dreams the negative comments would subside. The band and her voice as such a great combination. ❤️

+lauraology Same.. I multi nonstop and this really pulled me in. I would love to see a full set of this live.
This is my absolute favourite PMJ cover. Incredible - Brava to all involved 🎉And Caroline - you nailed it completely
CAN WE PLEASE GET A DUET FT HER AND HAILEY?!?!? They can sing the ABCs for all I care!
That is what you call an old soul. She sings with such conviction! So much soul for such a young artist!
Will you please do, "I don't want to set the world on fire"- by the Inkspots *please*
Seconded
Totally agree with you! I think that would be a great song for a PMJ cover
Yes, that would be great, but it's already jazz standard.
yes Plesse !
+JacobLukasiewicz That doesn't really matter, they can choose another style for the song.
Shut the Front Door!!! That little lady is beyond...well words. Fantastic selection to showcase her talent!
Only 14 and with a voice like that? Gosh this gave me chills so good, amazing cover! Bravo!!!
Kid, they love you. Comments don't get better than this.
What the hell she is only 14 years!!!!! she sing with more soul that many singers out there, this is actually one of my favorite songs in the world. Thanks pmj great rendition I am sure cyndi lauper will love this
Cindy Lauper's song reinterpreted as a torch song by someone with that voice? This is BRILLIANT! 👍
My favourite Lauper song and I love this version too.
Have you heard the Eva Cassidy cover? Not a torch song, but sweet, sad and beautiful.
God this brings a tear to my eye. I know everyone's saying this but holy shit her voice is beautiful!
+Zenith Wills So happy this moved you!
PostmodernJukebox :DDDD Senpai!!
But yeah she is insanely good for her age.
Just damn. That is jaw droppingly good. just... damn...
Her voice is wicked.
+Maram Alshimy Sick!
+Elizabeth. tf dude
wicked as in amazing, bruh

*hear
WOW, Here I'am and old man,and she brought tears to my eyes,boy can she sing.I've never heard this song so well sang
That's insane! Can't believe she was only 14 here
Wow. Just wow. I was going to say something about her looking way older than her age, but I deleted it all after hearing her performance. Kudos to her. That was incredibly beautiful! Keep it up!
Dope sultry version of the song. Mad props to the 14yr old. She killed it
Oh my, that voice: backed up with confidence and discipline!
Ms. Baran is going places; I can hardly wait!
I think everybody is overlooking the harpist. She da real mvp
calm down
I can'r listen to your version, without crying. I mean the great voices you work with hit me everytime, but never that hard! I love her voice! Much love!

wtf 14?! Her physical appearance AND her voice is so mature!
+Claudette Purisima

Because you can't be mentally mature until you reach a specific age, right? Sorry but thats not how your brain or body works.

Love the music and rearrangement. Excellent as always!!
She's obviously talented, she's got a lot of growth to go through in the future. Good performance, I look forward to see how she improves over time with all her vocal training. She definitely did a lot better than most would.

So beautiful

Just scored four great tickets for your Rosemont show in October. Can't wait!
+topdroog Awesome sauce!
Sweet baby Jesus!!! How many past lives has she been doing this? So mature and refined. I'm in awe.
Wow. I predict a bright future for this young lady. Bravo!
+Nick Williams Agreed!
Blown away that young lady has an AMAZING voice.
She looks and sounds way older than 14!! :O You go girl!
You said go slow, I fall behind.. So beautiful the way she sings
That was phenomenal! Awesome work Caroline!
Her control is something to envy, amazing, keep up the good work Caroline...
Damn. Good job, girl! May I suggest you wear a sign at all times that says "I am 14?" LOL
Yes, it does!
She's just 14!? Incredible voice! Sounds like a full grown adult. Her voice is perfect for jazz.
I thought it would be Sinatra's Time After Time from 'It Happened in Brooklyn' 😂 Props to Caroline for those vocals!

Very well done. I look forward to hearing more from you on PMJ in future.
The song is twice as old as she is and she killed it!
My god, you must feature her more often!
Wow. Seems like she has a real career ahead if her.
OMG I actually cried on that high note!
That's just awesome!
Please do Prince next!
+Tyler Crawford Yes!! He deserve it!!
yes
+Tyler Crawford Yes!
+Tyler Crawford That song was written by Prince.
Avery Jackson Not it wasn't. It was written by Cyndi and Rob Hyman.
Just beautiful! I love this song but Ms Baran brings out some beautiful textures that even the original artist left for others to create.
When you said she was 14 did you mean dog years
The only way to explain it
Ben mendozio thats not a nice comment
meaning she is older than she looks because they say it's 7 dog years to 1 human .
That would make her two.
I think you mean mars years... that would make her age look right.
No way is she 14! You don't have to lie about age to market this singer. She's true jazz, to the core. Fantastic!
if she really is 14, she needs to slow down.
Please stop criticising her looks this girl is only 14!Anyone who knows makeup and hair knows that it obviously changes your entire appearance depending on how you do it.Wipe it off and she will look 14.

+M.R. Yan that is her natural hair, nobody did anything, relax
Marzena Jonak oh cool. I mean, I have no problem with it. I just thought that maybe that's what others were thinking.
I WENT TO SEE PMJ, LAST NIGHT...AND THEY WERE FANTASTIC. YES, I KNOW IM SHOUTING BUT I'M SO EXCITED. Casey Abrams, Von Smith Haley Reinhart, and the great Scott Bradlee!! Plus the rest of the gang!
that dress! Ooo I want it!
Wow, she's an "old soul". Lovely voice, sounds like she's been singing for a lifetime.
+Greg Golden Caroline has a huge talent, her age doesn't matter!
only 14 years... I think I should retire now hahaha
Wonderful version! Wonderful singer! If Caroline decides to release an album, I'll be first in line to buy it.
If she's 14 then im a dishwasher
lol!!
I've got some dirty dishes ready for you.
+Amanda McDonald Sounds dirty
Connor weiss
Congrats!
Canoga Parque
Stole my joke dammit :(
some people were just born to sing... simply beautiful.
Gotta be brave to cover a Cyndi Lauper song. She did amazing!
Beautiful. Thank you PMJ. My wife just told me that her favorite part of last year was us attending your concert in Dallas. That is pretty cool. Keep up the great work!
Do a cover of Dangerous Woman by Ariana Grande. Would sound good in jazzy stile.
+Aranea Nox Thanks for the suggestion ;)
Would be awesome to hear it in your style. Keep it up. You're a rare amazement.
+PostmodernJukebox OH! Marina and the diamonds too btw
WOW. Can't wait to hear more from this talented young lady. We only get one per generation of these vocal proteges; it could be her. Glad to hear that a young female singer in this era can do more than just belting and runs, and actually bend a note and interpret a lyric. It's not easy to take on the Great Cyndi Lauper but she does and it shines!
That moment when a 14 year old's looks can pass as 21 when a 21 year old's looks can't even pass as 21..
+garnet1223 Me af. I just turned 22 a little less than a month ago and I still get carded for little stuff, such as even just SITTING in a bar. -___-
It's called makeup ☺️
One of the most beautiful renditions of this song I've ever heard!!! Awesome!
Can't believe that she is 14 with that voice
+Mitchell Earley Believe it, baby!
yea seriously. she's my age
She has true talent - I still listen to this so many years later
OMG I LOVE HER VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful singer, beautiful song. You have an amazing voice, thank you for sharing it with us.
What happened to the world? 14 yo girls be looking like they could get into a bar without IDs.
agreed.
Its the hair and makeup and
14 year old girls have been sneaking into places they shouldn't be since the fucking dawn of time. Why are you acting surprised?
Wow. Singer has a good voice...
Her voice really is amazing. Was this supposed to be any specific musical period, or is it just "PMJ style"?
Dear Scott Bradlee:
Thanks for the new video, it's always surprising and glad to hear new talented voices. By the way I like the new logo. Thumbs up!
What the heck she literally sounds like she's 30 😱
Looks much older than 14 as well.
capt.sandy Vagoo But the SOUND 😱
+capt.sandy Vagoo That's because they did everything possible to make her look out of date by nearly 30 years.
+Nukelover yeah I get that. But even if she had less make up, more age appropriate clothing and shoes, different hair style, I feel like she'd still look older than her age. ALOT of kids now a days look much older than they actually are.
and looks like it
Just awesome. Wow. She's 14!! What a talent.
Is no one going to mention the harp player? She's fantastic.
lara somogyi, she's a great harpist. Go to her channel, it's pretty amazing.
Still watching this (🥲and tearing up occasionally.) Touches my soul ❤️
