"CREEP" - PMJ studio version with HALEY

[john]

Who would have guessed that Haley would be dominating the jazz charts in 2015? #5!

And AATB is #3.
Habits is #33.

It took Habits almost 9 hours to reach 4000 Likes. Creep already has more than 5300.

Tusk, by any chance, when you were at the Meet & Greet in London, did the question arise as to why Haley was singing this particular song as opposed to one of many others to choose from. (Obviously, she was going to be singing another solo during the PMJ show -- I'm just curious if there's a specific reason this one was chosen.)

The meet and greet was more brief than it should have been (they wouldn't let us in until ALL of us were present, we lost about half hour ) During that, Haley made quirky comments about having met me before a couple of times, waved while singing Habits at sound check, but as far as personal time? There was really none, other than when the cast went through, said hi and shook our hands (Haley hugs rather than shakes hands )

I got to talk to her a bit more backstage

There really wasn't much time 'to talk' as you might guess, back stage right after their final performance of the tour.

There was a lot of mingling and saying Hi. Haley, Anders and I stayed in one spot for a bit, people passing by with a hug and a comment for Haley. I talked to her about excitement for 2015, she talked about how difficult it was to be patient setting things up, but really happy to see them finally come about, then I talked to her about her Youtube and SMYM, about "Don't Know Why", she said she loved that song and had performed it ever since she was young with Harry, I told her how incredible Creep was, that I knew I had to capture that video... there was other stuff, but I had more things to ask about that I forgot or didn't get to...

She was very gracious with her time, I didn't want to prevent her from celebrating with the others, it was just cool to be there and sense the celebration and joy backstage, the questions became an after thought ....

I was hoping to get a studio version of this. I absolutely love this performance. Can not be improved upon.

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.

I remember when this girl was on American Idol years back, and I didn't care for her much then. But fast forward several years, and she's grown up a lot, and improved MUCH! She kills this version!!

Wow! I'm completely blown away. Her voice is incredible.

Rumy Milten Going straight to my fav on youtbe

Rumy Milten Her voice is a strange combination between Etta James, Amy Winehouse, Christina Aguilera, Bon Jobi, Janis Joplin and Billie Holiday ...I've never heard anything like that! Freaking amazing

Eric Slack I'm very happy to introduce you two

Rumy Milten Lol...never heard of her before but def a fan!

Eric Slack This is also my first time hearing her. She's very good.

Just when you think they can't get any better they come up with this...

+Bill Bange Beautiful !!!!!

+Cory Wilson Jesus. She's a freaking badass!

Haley Reinhart, still awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3lF2qEA2cw …

I hate to say this because I really enjoyed my time in NOLA, so much stuff happened, but in "Creep" Haley has the emotion crushing vocal, I'd hoped she would've displayed when she sang her Nirvana covers with NOJO. Probably because it was 'classical' jazz, the NOJO arraingements were a bit flat.... (commence brick throwing )

Scott's genius, even if it was done with another singer, is to recognize that 'fit' in Haley's vocal that he decided to break precedence AGAIN and cover a cover he'd covered

With respect to you last point I was just having those same thoughts. Haley forces the matter. (AGAIN).

NOJO Zep night videos are not my favorites. The PMJ band is a perfect fit for Haley. I think performing with Morgan might have gotten those competitive juices flowing a bit too.

Yeah, i noticed that too! lol

Amazing.

Whoever is producing these PMJ songs needs to be the one to produce for Haley's EP/Albums...they do a perfect job with Haley's voice.
