Can you blame her?  She was with Scott when PMJ got started and was the principal singer. It looks and sounds very similar to PMJ, even the room set up. 
Maybe that's why Scott is jumping so fast to tour and take advantage of his fan base, before someone else copies him.
I found this interesting article on PMJ and Scott from Dec 2014. not sure if it was posted here already or not.
Quote:How A Youtube Channel of Covers Hacked The Music Industry
By Joe Zadeh http://noisey.vice.com/en_uk/blog/postmo...cess-story
Quote:The appeal of the channel is the familiarity, or more frankly: the repetition. In essence, Postmodern Jukebox feels enjoyable because we already know these tunes like the back of our hands, but they are different and well-executed enough to still keep us entertained, so our brain goes drifting through them whimsically like the ghost of a pensioner in a haunted scone shop.
Talking about Scott
Quote:His platform unashamedly rides on the coattails of mainstream pop domination, and helps real and unappreciated musicians gain the wider notoriety they have struggled to access for years, unlocking new opportunities for them outside of relentless gigging. Bradlee has already launched his own career, sent the self-deprecating Puddles (the clown) on world tours and seems to birth a new vocalist every week (see: Kate Davis, Miche Braden, Von Smith). For a guy who couldn’t find enough work playing jazz piano in New York bars, Bradlee has made a career out of playing it for the world.
Quote:“When I started it I didn’t think too far ahead of the implications of this platform. I’d known Puddles (the clown) for a year, and I’d seen him perform live locally. As a result of that video, he’s now everywhere: he’s touring, he’s incredibly successful and he’s built a whole fan base for himself. The same for Kate Davis who sang “All About That Bass” for us. As soon as that song came out, I knew it was great for her. It made people really excited about her. She now too has a big fan base and she’s doing exciting things. It’s been great for this channel to help showcase people with amazing talents.”
Quote: Bradlee has happened upon an accomplished but utterly formulaic path to success, a kind of music industry hack, which has given him millions of Youtube views and the musicians within the collective a fast-track to success, something they never could have got playing in the house band at a jazz bar.
