"CREEP" - PMJ studio version with HALEY

[buzzenator]

Of course. Understandable. The frustrated (qualitative) researcher in me senses that there is a story/reason behind this song -- we just don't know the specifics.

MAE...that's because you are a classic overthinker...I spent a lot of time thinking about this.

I'm having trouble keeping up with The Slayer these days...seven pages of a new thread since yesterday afternoon? Remember the days when The Queen was nowhere to be seen? Now she has two songs in the Top 10 Jazz Singles of iTunes! I think I died and went to dog heaven...Buzz doing the circle dance...

If Haley is a Creep...I'd like to be Creepy!

Haley is the most amazing singer ever

Holy Shiitake Mushrooms...I got a high high on...oh wait, didn't we cover this already?

Good golly she's got a fabulous voice!

This is genius. She tears it up (I recall her from America Idol a couple years ago). The arrangement takes Radio Head and reimagines it as the love child of Patsy Cline and Fats Domino. I love it.

response to a share:

First cover that compares to the original. Great voice and nice Joe Cocker armwork

^ He shared it as well

Haley Reinhart FB share comments:

ole

Love this!
Amazing job Haley!

response to a share:

this seems to be very popular on fb right now gotta check it out

same person:

omg amazing is all i can say

[buzzenator]

I don't think this is a knee-jerk response...although I do have metal parts and some can take offense just because I am, well Buzz.

If you could take one song and pour all of Haley into it, the culmination of everything we have heard over the past 5 years and before...and you wanted someone to listen to just one song to know who Haley Reinhart is...it would be this song CREEP. There, I said it.

Ladies and Gentlemen...Miss Haley Reinhart!

Haley Reinhart Teams With Postmodern Jukebox on Stunning 'Creep' Cover (VIDEO) @HaleyReinhart @scottbradlee http://rickey.io/1IsS2r1 - NR

After teaming with them on a stellar 1930s Jazz cover of Tove Lo’s “Habits”, Haley Reinhart is once again teaming with Scott Bradlee and the fine folks of Postmodern Jukebox for a new cover. This time, it’s a jazzy version of the Radiohead classic “Creep”.

In short, it seems like Haley has found the perfect fit for her career, as the classic sensibilities of Postmodern Jukebox fit with her soulful, throwback voice. She was my favorite contestant on American Idol 10, so I’m stoked to see her still putting herself out there. And she’s not the only Idol alum to work with Bradlee and co. in recent months. Fellow Season 10 finalist Casey Abrams recently did covers of “Stacey’s Mom” by Fountains of Wayne, and a New Orleans style version of “I’m Not the Only One” by Sam Smith. Meanwhile, Season 8 finalist Von Smith has done covers that range in a 1940 Jazz version of “Titanium”, a Motown version of “Shake It Off”, and a 1950s Sock Hop version of “Rude” by Magic. Hell, Postmodern Jukebox has even gotten a shoutout on this season of Idol, as Joey Cook credited their arrangement on her performance of Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy”. Basically, Scott Bradlee and his team are amazing, and this video is one of their best.

Seriously, everything about this is just stunning, from how Haley moves, to all her ad-libs (“I’m a creep — I said it”), and just the way she uses her voice as a seductive instrument, but also as a storytelling device. This is downright magical. I swear, Haley is from another era entirely. And the added bonus is that this isn’t the last we’ll see of Haley and Postmodern Jukebox together, as she’s part of the Postmodern Jukebox Tour. She’s also got a new EP coming out titled “F Is For Family,” so this could be a huge 2015 for her. And if so, I couldn’t be happier for Haley. Check out the video below. It could be the best decision you make today.

Indeed. So, I suppose it was the "proverbial clearance" issue that prevented her from being able to do it?

Meanwhile, Season 8 finalist Von Smith has done covers ....

Well, that's curious. This was the season that Kris Allen, Adam Lambert, Alison Iraheta, to name a few, went through. I tried finding his AI offerings on YouTube. Only found his initial audition. Ouch! Von has intonation concerns when accompanied. When a capella ... well, it wasn't pretty. I still am baffled that Scott has him as a part of the PMJ family.

I'm not sure how seriously we should take this part about Haley being 'part of the Postmodern Jukebox Tour" ( I assume they mean the US one) , because of the inaccuracy that follows, that Haley's new EP will be titled "F is For Family"

RIP true journalism in the 21st century

Really. Nice write up in the LA Times
Obviously a fan

Haley Reinhart's 'Creep' cover with Postmodern Jukebox is worth a listen http://t.co/SSvoS6B3kf

Very nice writeup.

PopSugar:

Prepare to have this gorgeous cover of Radiohead's song "Creep" on repeat. Postmodern Jukebox put together a vintage arrangement of the song, and singer Haley Reinhart brought her incredible vocals to the group's cover. Oh, and as if it isn't impressive enough, this is the very first take — no big deal.

Found that link retweeted by someone with 13K followers who commented, "amazing."

The LA Times "Pop & Hiss" Twitter account has 15K followers.

Virgin Radio, France - as interpreted by Google.

The Postmodern Jukebox group uses the highest standards of pop, rearranging the order to give them a second life, plus vintage and jazzy. The editorial 'of VirginRadio.fr a fan of their darker version of "Creep"!

Fans of Thom Yorke and his cronies are still hoping a new album, and although OK Computer has been saved to the Library of Congress, the British training ground in silence. We offer you today to revisit the most mythical title of Radiohead, the magnificent "Creep". Here no conventional recovery on acoustic guitar, we are dealing with a resumption vintage. This is the Postmodern Jukebox group that offers this sublime jazzy version of the anthem of Radiohead. Include singing the powerful voice of Haley Reinhart, who gives us real time thrills, especially when it starts the melancholy burden created by the very tortured Thom Yorke.

The version of "Creep" by Postmodern Jukebox lasts a little more than five minutes, gradually rising in power, until the voice of the very talented Haley Reinhart explodes full force. Performance all the more remarkable when one learns that the title was recorded in one take! The cover Postmodern Jukebox transports us in a smoky cabaret of another time, worthy of an episode of Mad Men. Digging a little more to the Youtube channel of the group, we can discover their repeatedly pop standards: Blank Space, Shake It Off, All About That Bass, I'm Not The Only One ... All the songs which were crazy about you taken off by this group undeniably talented. Ask yourself in a fluffy chair in the corner of fires and click the play button, you will not regret it. Meanwhile back in the studio of Radiohead? What do you think of this recovery?

As a loyal Halien for the last 3 years, Haley's PMJ experience and response the last month feels like an extended x-mas day! Her CREEP performances are so amazing and now this incredible video is really such a reward to her fans.

I agree 100% with all the comments the Scott really has found the key to making her voice blow you away. The instruments don't compete with her voice, which I feel happens sometimes when she sings with NOJO. Maybe it's just a side effect of singing live with so many instruments and why PMJ seems a perfect fit. I agree that CREEP seems to combine and show off everything we love about Haley's voice and style into one incredible experience.

Still a long way to go for Haley, but maybe FINALLY the rest of the world is starting to discover what we already know?
