That was great. One of my favorite all-time songs and bands.

Glad you liked it - stumbled across it about 6-8 months ago.

Agree...why ruin a great song with some sleazy lounge act rendition? Her voice is quite ordinary but tries to make it hip by slurring and sounding drunk.

Morgan James has some serious pipes. Have you seen this:

All about the Bass. Hailey Reinhardt is great but then Morgan James shows off her voice, amazing.

Heh. That was my introduction to her. They are all good, but she nails it.

Quite ordinary? Ruin? Sleazy?

Did we just watch the same video?

Sorry. A slow-motion version of a hit song that is supposed to be UP, light, jumpy and happy does not make an “improvement” to me, sexy songstress or not. I might appreciate her singing (she has a good voice) a song meant to be slow, bluesy and sexy, but not Mr Blue Sky.

That’s nice. I’ve watched her before but she was always alone, with a little kitty cat.

Yuk. I think the original version is horrible.

Talk about ruining a classic. This in no way represents the spirit of the original. Someone comes along sings it like a bimbo and everyone claps. This song is supposed to have energy and talent. Maybe she could write some of her own songs, and leave the classics alone.

This is the way it is supposed to be:

Her vocals took me to a secluded seat in a dim bar
where a dry martini was promptly ordered. Great
music and singer; hanging around for happy hour.

Thanks, RR. ELO/Eldorado = worn vinyl, not grown
old yet!

A cool take on a classic song. The young lady makes it her own.

I really enjoy Postmodern Jukebox. They usually have great vocalist featured. Been listening to them for a few years now. I really like a lot of the electo swing music too.

Absolutely love Postmodern Jukebox. Here's another with Morgan James and the most energetic tambourine player you'll ever see...
