RE: "CREEP" - PMJ studio version with HALEY
Very odd source for a review of PMJ. Dated, but still right on point.
Quote:I recall reading the about us section of their website some time ago and this bio had been worded a bit differently. Back then it read something to the effect of “I dislike pop music so much that I have the urge to recreate these songs into versions that I would enjoy” (Once again, this is just from memory, not an exact quote). I fell in love with his channel because of his blunt honesty and conviction to bringing music back to an art form.
Since ‘We Can’t Stop’ went viral over the interwebs, PMJ has exploded in popularity. This gave them the audience they needed to sell a number of CDs and fund their tours around the US and Internationally. They were able to get new singers, some of which were previous American Idol contestants that were able to get decently far by singing in a very conservative manner. However, when Casey Abrams and Haley Reinhart joined PMJ, they were able to unleash a singing ability many did not know that they were even capable of. Their performances on ‘Creep’, ‘All About That Bass’, ‘I’m Not The Only One’, and ‘Stacey’s Mom’ were so incredible, it far exceeded American Idol winners like Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood.
America needs Post Modern jukebox and it’s covers of mainstream songs to show the general public, especially [younger] audiences what true music is. There are children out there turning into young adults who have grown up with Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus. Worst off, they swear by them as their music of choice. No longer do we hear the names of Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, John Coltrane, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole or any other immensely talented artists pass through the lips of the young. If their creations have been far too dated and kids no longer have access to their music then at least they will have Post Modern Jukebox and it’s spectacular covers.
(Pardon if this has been linked before)

RE: "CREEP" - PMJ studio version with HALEY
Creep achieved the #1 spot on the PMJ most viewed list on 02/15/2016, by overtaking We Can't Stop, which had held that position for a long time. Since then it has gathered about 4,870,000 views, or almost 32K views per day.  The #2 song is now AATB-Euro and Creep is more than 3.5M views ahead of that one.
Creep remains a powerhouse. To find a PMJ video with as many views as Creep has received just since taking the top spot, one has to go back almost a year -- to the release of 7NA. The next one with more views was released one year ago -- that being Oops. Continuing back in time, the next one to exceed the number of views Creep has had in the last five months was released in May 2015 -- Lovefool.

Haley has definitely been a dominant force in PMJ video views over the past year. There is one non-Haley video though that deserves to be included in the conversation - Bad Romance by Ariana Savalas (w/Sara Reich). It was released a few weeks before LoveFool. Since I started tracking views last October, every week the top 5 non-new PMJ videos have always been the same 5.
1. Creep
2. AATB - European Tour
3. Seven Nation Army
4. Oops
5. Bad Romance
The order has also almost always been they same, except Bad Romance was usually #4 and Oops #5 until they switched positions in March.
