her voice, her hair, her dress, the orchestra, the piano and the sun almost finished setting in the background, im honestly kinda obsessed

So excited and proud of Allison! She’s a former student of mine and we always knew she was destine for greatness...this is stunning!

This sounds like something that would play at the end of an Apocalypse movie. Especially the “where did we go wrong?” part

I think the genius of this cover it actually highlights the somber tones of the song. Like the whole thing is usually set very sunshiney, but the lyrics themselves are PERFECT for a sad and somber moment.

She looks like a Greek goddess painting has come to life.

I'd love to see what you guys could do with Elton John's "I'm Still Standing."

I’m sure that Jeff Lynne (founder of ELO) is VERY proud of Allison’s performance on this video. She’s found a way for this song, which is one of my life long favorites, to touch my heart in a different way, equally as enjoyable.

Proof that good music is good music. And this rendition is absolutely beautiful!!!

Every song that PMJ covers instantly becomes magical. I really love this one.

The most unexpected and soulful cover of this song I have ever heard.

The change of tempo and the amazing interpretation through Allison's singing definitely expresses the inherent longing of the song's lyrics. Extremely well done.

Allison makes for a perfect jazz singer.

I could see this playing as a sort of bittersweet ending at the end of some form of dystopian movie. Or perhaps a spy film

You know what's weird? She has some of the best Jazz club singer arm movements around, just incredibly expressive and perfect for the moments in the song. I assumed she had been doing it for many years to get that good. But her other videos are generally her with a guitar ... and she is ridiculously young. I'm not sure she has ever performed like this before. Just a perfect natural. She has a life full of amazing performances ahead of her.

Probably the best cover I've ever heard....and that said from a ELO fan who has followed the group for nearly 45 years. Magnificent voice and magnificent orchestration from PMJ😊

She hit that one out of the park.

She is the opposite of "not knowing what to do with your hands"

I've never seen someone who looked just like a marble statue came to life. Beautiful song, beautiful music. Best rendition of Mr. Blue Sky I've heard so far.

She reminds me of Venus from Botticelli. She has such mellow presence and lovely voice 10/10 would listen over and over again

Rainy day (flood warnings) here in Australia in May 2024 now Allison has brightened up the day.

I'd like to see PMJ do a jazz cover of Ocean Man by Ween

If this isn’t played during the end credits of 2020, I’m not watching it

Ive followed Allison Young for years. Her voice is liquid gold. Once I heard her sing "Autumn in new york" and a duet sung with Josh Turner of "Crazy" by Patsy Cline i was hooked. She will always have fans ready to drop $$ to see her perform! I'd rather spend my money to see her sing than spend even one cent to see anyone on OF lol

My goodness she is captivating - that voice, her movements, the inflections she uses... Everyone on instruments did great but she is truly breathtaking and really made this rendition something special 👍 wonderfully done!!!!

The fact that they did this during a sunset made this so much better.

This young lady is an absolute joy, such a voice, makes an old grumpy soldier's heart melt.

this is the beauty of Jeff Lynne being reinterpreted and yet staying true to the feel underneath all of the production that ELO brought to their music, quel honeur, quelle suprise, merveillieux

I've always loved this song, but this version has a sensuality the original didn't. Made all the more by the amazingly talented and lovely Allison Young

The last scene song "the end of quarantine" from the movie 'Covid 19'. Directed by Hideo Kojima.

Marvelous work Allison, Scott and everyone. I love it!

This song is one of my all time favorites. This version of it is beautiful!

Wonderful! Everything about this is sooo good. Allison is lovely!

You just can't help but smile at this song no matter the style. It's just one of those feel-good songs.

It fits so perfectly

That last note, landing on the 9th, most certainly gave me chills.

Allison, you took this melody to a whole new level. Borrowing from the original, adding new inversions, new runs. I wonder how much of this was rehearsed versus improvised. It sounds absolutely divine!

There is something special about this song. The original never fails to bring me joy. Even when i'm sad it makes me hop around the room like a giddy idiot. This cover is so calming, it's great to just soak it in and enjoy the beauty. Would be great to get back to normal when stressed. Impressive how you changed the song to have the excact oposite effect on me without making it unrecognisable.

I love the ELO version. Hearing this, however, I’ve just heard a new song... and ‘heard’ the lyrics for the first time. Wow!

I think about this dress every waking moment ... its absolutely stunning

Allison you have a beautiful voice and so much talent.

what a way to kick off the 20's Part 2

this song's always had an undercurrent of melancholy to me and this gorgeous cover really brings that to the front

Слушаю в 1000й раз,и, не могу отрваться. ЭЛИСОН !!!!!

I really hope that she and Joshua Lee Turner haven't had a falling out. I loved seeing their videos. Separately, they are just two musicians that you can hear anywhere. Together, they were so sweet, I couldn't listen enough.

I see ELO I automatically hit the like button.

So, I'm a child of the 70's. I grew up listening to ELO, Mr. Blue Sky one of my favorites. I clicked into this sure that I knew what the song was all about. Apparently I was wrong. I listened to about two minutes, had to click over to ELO singing to be sure it was the same song, then clicked back to listen to it all, then again and again. Wow, what a musical and visual feast. Postmodern makes a great song come across new and fresh.

Alison is for sure one of your top 3 vocalists of all time, please have her on again soon! 🙏

What a beauty!! And she's a crooner!!

This is a devastatingly good reinterpretation.

What an absolutely captivating performance. The genius of Jeff Lynne coupled with this amazing and alluring singer is almost too much.

The ELO original is the last song I played on my Radio Shack (Technics) turntable with Optimus 1-B RS speakers the last day of summer before my senior year in college. It capped off a summer of transition in which I cut my long hair, shaved a Lasse Viren beard, got contact lenses and became a new young man determined to fulfill my potential as a runner at Luther College. This song's optimism with a touch of sadness was the perfect way to wrap up August and go get it the best I could. A week later I'd fallen in love at first sight with a green-eyed beauty who I met at an RA retreat. I rose from seventh man on the cross country team to second man and helped lead the team to an NCAA D3 second place at nationals. That love affair carried me through 800 miles of training, lasted another year or so and imploded after we tried to keep a long distance relationship going. But the innocence of this song sticks with me to this day, and this version captures an older man's appreciation for an earlier time. Nicely done.

Beautiful performance by miss Young. Great.

Allison Young is a force of nature, a dryad, a demi-goddess of a chanteuse.

I'm happy to see Allison made it to the Jukebox! Adore her since i found her in a duet with Josh Turner. Great arrangement and playing.

I love her (them, all of them) it’s like walking into a club and hearing a really good band with a really good singer who have been doing their thing for years. No auto-tune, just good musicians and a beautiful singer. Like music’s supposed to sound like.

Oh my life! This is such an amazing interpretation. The final verse brought tears.

Liked her smile during the fade to black at the end, when she knows she dropped the biggest bomb of 2020 with this performance. Awesome.

never underestimate pmj's ability to completely change the contextual feeling of a song. well done.

Wow! Talk about making a song one's own! Jeff Lynne would be (and likely IS!) very pleased with this fantastic performance. Absolutely stunning work and, as I'm an ELO fan, lots of fun to listen to. ❤🎶👍🏼

I've been following both Allison's channel and postmodern jukebox for a month or two now but this is my first time seeing this and when I tell you my jaw *dropped*. I couldn't believe it. This is perfect!

i been fallowing Allison for a around a year now. always thinking: "i don't understand why PMJ not doing a video with her she is the perfect singer for them!" happy to see i was correct. hope this will get enough views for them to invite her again :)

Ok, somebody’s gotta say it: that dress with side-slit kills!

One of my all-time favorite songs, and you just took it to a beautiful, different place.

Why is the KZfaq Algorithm only Now presenting this lovely Angel for my viewing pleasure? Charming! Beautiful voice! Mr. Blue Sky! I'm a BIG Fan of ELO and this is an INCREDIBLE Cover! Excuse me for being 2 years late...Blame it on RIO...

I could listen to that voice til the end of time and she is so freakin beautiful. Like a marble statue with hair made of wildfire. Please, please, please keep bringing her back.

Sun is shinin' in the sky There ain't a cloud in sight It's stopped rainin' everybody's in the play And don't you know It's a beautiful new day, hey hey Runnin' down the avenue See how the sun shines brightly in the city On the streets where once was pity Mr. Blue Sky is living here today, hey hey Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why You had to hide away for so long (so long) Where did we go wrong? Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why You had to hide away for so long (so long) Where did we go wrong? Hey you with the pretty face Welcome to the human race A celebration, Mr. Blue Sky's up there waitin' And today is the day we've waited for Oh Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why You had to hide away for so long (so long) Where did we go wrong? Hey there Mr. Blue We're so pleased to be with you Look around see what you do Everybody smiles at you Hey there Mr. Blue We're so pleased to be with you Look around see what you do Everybody smiles at you Mr. Blue, you did it right But soon comes Mr. Night creepin' over Now his hand is on your shoulder Never mind I'll remember you this I'll remember you this way Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why You had to hide away for so long (so long) Where did we go wrong? Hey there Mr. Blue (sky) We're so pleased to be with you (sky) Look around see what you do (blue) Everybody smiles at you

It's like the lyrics want this to be how they're portrayed. The way the performance matches them is stunning, and it makes me cry. The end may come sooner than anyone thinks, but at least we've had blue skies along the way.

I met her on KZfaq “Yesterday “ this morning @4:22 I have ❤listened to all her tunes …next week I’ll buy some of her records.

The part where she sings 'Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why you had to go away for so long. Where did we go wrong?' reminds me of a post-apocalyptic era where a nuclear fallout covered the earth's atmosphere in dense clouds and the sky was no longer visible and people can only glimpse it very rarely. And when they ask 'Where did we go wrong?' Its rhetorical and satirical at the same time, as if they were begging for forgiveness for what they've done.

To be totally honest, I wasn't going to click on this until I saw Allison Young in the title. She's easily my favorite singer.

While I’m not crazy about a slow version of this song, I think I’ve fallen in love with this girl

While I am a bit ashamed to say that I was only able to find out about this masterpiece through a ZhongChi fanfic, I would gladly play this on loop in order to make up for the lost time that I could've spent listening to this 🤸‍♀️🧡

You would have been a huge movie star in the forties, but glad you here now for us. You are such a joy.

Just goes to prove that a well written song can be performed in almost any genre. Very well performed.

She's amazing -- any song, any style.

Two years later, still fantastic in every way. Listen to this every day.

She’s looks like the character from the movie Brave

ELO is one of my favorite bands, and Mr. Blue Sky is a great song. Your version is quite outstanding, great job to everyone involved!!

One of those special times when everything is perfect, and oh so beautiful.

2:43 "everybody smiles with you" ... she turns around and sees, that she is the only one smiling ... I feel with you.

She is genuinely amazing...she has a stellar voice, presentation and stage presence. God bless her with continued success and good health. She is what we have been waiting for...someone with talent, personality and class.

Damn honestly, she's so beautiful.

This one knocks my socks off. I love PMJ and there are SO many good ones...but I think this is my favorite. I am a little ashamed to admit how many times I have watched it. Alison is one of a kind!

Congratulations Allison, I was so impressed when I first saw your channel a long time back with just you and your guitar. With your talent you’re there now in this video where you belong doing what you were born to.

It feels like rainy Friday evening with a cup of hot tea

I’ve been hooked on Allison since her first recording (Crazy) with Josh. She never disappoints.

Each time I listen I hear something new. What a gift.

I absolutely love it when a cover breathes new life into a song. This is an excellent example.

PMJ: So long Me: Soooooo loooooong. I love you guys

Allison's beauty is exceeded only by the quality of her voice. She's the whole package.

When a song has enough substance to be reinterpreted at this level you know Jeff Lynne wrote a great one. Scott Bradlee's arrangement is superb. It could be the first act closing number in a Broadway musical. For me, the setting and attire for the performers lends a comfortable formality to a shared moment celebrating the return of blue skies after a long period of rain. The instrumental performances are excellent and create a structure, texture, and space so lush that a singer of Allison Young's talent can take us on a walk through its verdant landscape as a fond companion and guide. Truly a great performance. Thank you.

WOW... she has a voice. AND the timing they did with sunset. EPIC

really clever to time the "mr night is creeping over" with the actual sundown. and amazing performance all around

Why on Earth are you not wildly famous? You are such a gift!

ELO’s song is one of the most happy upbeat songs. I’m trying to find any happiness in this version.

One if not the best covers I’ve heard in a long while. The orchestra is simply divine.

A very big fan of Electric Light Orchestra and an admirer of Jeff Lynne here -- I adore this version.

Please invite Allison to come back. She is fantastic!

Beautiful mood.

Lovely voice.
