For those who wonder why Morgan is not a big star, she signed with Epic Records. But I heard her say in an interview that she wasn't willing to compromise with some of the music industry's agenda, so they dropped her after 2 albums. Achieving fame was never one of her goals, it was always about the music. Along with all of her amazing talents, she has integrity as well.

We were listening to it while sitting under a perfectly clear sky full of stars. And the Song just took us straight to heaven. We were completely speechless and my friend told me later that he actually shed some tears because of how much he felt the song.

This came on SiriusXM the other day, and it was the first time I ever heard her voice. I actually pulled over to listen to it without any distraction. Morgan James' voice deserves one's full attention. She's brilliant. And what I like is she can be powerful or delicate without all the unnecessary, showy vocal gymnastics which have come into vogue in vocal/pop/R&B singing in the past 20 years or so. She is direct. She doesn't need to bombard the listener with a dozen different notes within each word - she nails it with simplicity and power.

FlowersInHisHair I mainly enjoy Post-modern Jukebox because they actually change the songs they cover to be more retro and stripped down, and for a lot of pop songs, that's a good thing and it can be a huge improvement. In this case, the original song was already stripped down, soulful and retro, so they aren't adding anything by covering it. She's still an amazing singer, but they just haven't improved on the original like they have with other songs.

i wish people would stop trying to compare covers to the original. You may prefer it but that doesn't mean it's better. Have some respect for the person who brought the song into the world. Compare it to covers as that's what it is.

Dear Ms James, while a priest now, I did a couple years in a choir and have two years of lessons of operatic singing. As such, my hat (literally, my priest hat, the one you can see in my picture) goes down. You are a real talent, Ms James. Your voice has great clarity and you have masterful control of it, you sing with a lot of emotion too. That is why folks pay big money, to hear that emotion. That is real performing art. Brava, Ms James. With respect, Fr Gavrilo

Goosebumps, more than once, during the course of this cover. That's how I know it's going to be on my mp3 player in the near future and probably stay there. I can't say you topped the original version for me, but I can say this was excellent. Especially with the video, it's a real treat to watch a singer throw their heart and soul into something so ardently. Cheers! and thank you both!

I was completely taken by surprise at 3:20! This song can be a difficult one to cover, but she did it brilliantly. The way Ms. James consistently added power or softened her voice with such emotion (Hozier made emotion a large influence of his voice behind the lyrics), yet with excellent control, timing, and accuracy is truly amazing. She is a one-of-a-kind singer for sure

You know it's a good song when PMJ does not have to find an era to match this song. They just do a cover and that's that. This song has so much raw emotion and getting Morgan James to use her voice is just so amazing, I still cannot fathom how good that was. This was a great song, thank you for a great cover, hope you find more songs like Take Me To Church, just.... wow :)

HOLY SH*T what a performance - since UKposts's algorithms caught up with my musical tastes a fortnight ago and recommended a PMJ cover (7 Nation Army) I have had a VERY enjoyable few days exploring their 'back catalogue' and by default Morgan James & Hayley Reinhart - (see the Dear Prudence duet - its sublime) - but this tops everything I've watched so far - jaw droppingly good........
