RE: 2015 PMJ North American Tour
Sweet! Is this your first time hearing Haley live?
I think I've mentioned before, when I hear Haley sing live, or even the anticipation of hearing Haley sing live, sometimes the hair on my arms will stand up
Even hearing Sara singing in this 'imperfect' audio (sounds like the audio issues I have when I use my phone to record video  ) of her performance of "Hey Ya", I got that same indicator  Hopefully, there is a video w/ better audio of this song.
I think Sara is best in this zone, when she's not going for the power vocal like in AATB, her voice is buttery smooth, this zone is where I think her voice shines the best.

As Time Goes By/Someday, 56:00
Sara singing "Someday" at the end of the show also shows off that velvety tone very well
A month to go, until San Diego, I hope she'll be in at least one of the shows I'll be seeing in December

I saw Haley live a few years ago when she was appearing opposite one of Allen Stone's shows.That was back in the days when she was backed by just guitar or piano.But hearing her last night makes me realize that she's grown by leaps and bounds since then.As Time Goes By was indeed "hair raising".
Also Sarah Reich is the tap dancer that I was referring to.

I knew that, I just wrapped my post about Sara Niemietz with your post..
I posted the hour long vid from New Jersey at MJ's and a long time poster there, was blown away with Haley (also about "As Time Goes By" being too short), but also w/ Sarah Reich's tap skills
Quote:Thanks!! Appreciate that very much. Can't wait to hear "As Time Goes By" - love that song. DC has a day off after 8 shows in a row - so I'm trying to catch up with other artists I'm interested in!!
ETA: OK, now I want to hear Haley do that whole song - and I can think of some others she could give a whirl as well - (i.e. "I'll Be Seeing You") That was excellent cool. Thank you!
Quote:OK I just lost it - "My Heart Will Go On" as a Do Wop song that almost turned into The Four Seasons? And it works! The drum/tap challenge was saweet - and the tap dancer won going away! This is so much fun
I filled him in on Sarah....
Quote:She was an extreme tap dancer, for sure. I tapped as a kid - know how tough those moves are.
I really, really, really love these times when I get this kind of enthusiastic reaction from people who don't follow Haley....just makes my day

As for Sara, I agree that she's a real pro and I'd love to see her perform live. Someday at the end of the show was very nice, but her closing out As Time Goes By - well, on the one video we have so far the last note was not particularly to my liking.
On the other hand, Haley's As Time Goes By was just heaven. I really, really want to hear her sing the whole song.

The Village Voice: POSTMODERN JUKEBOX SERVES UP GOLDEN AGE HOLLYWOOD VIBES TO STATEN ISLAND
Quote:Postmodern Jukebox’s cast includes onetime American Idol contestant Haley Reinhart, whose re-imagining of Britney Spears’s "Oops!...I Did It Again" channels Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes or Some Like It Hot. "Haley’s voice is like Betty Boop crossed with Janis Joplin. That song has a kind of Betty Boop coquettish thing," Bradlee points out.
This is the only mention in the article about a cast member not named Scott Bradlee.
The do need to send out an updated stock PMJ group photo though.
