  • This depressing song by Vintage Vaudeville (a rendition of course) is about a young person feeling out of place in this world, dramatically enhanced with Puddles Pity Party insanely alluring operatic vocals and enhanced by Haley Reinhart's gorgeous vocals. I was NOT expecting this!

    Puddles has an amazing amount of power to his voice. I find it incredible how restrained he was in this performance to essentially take a supporting role for Haley. Also, an incredible twist to see the 6'8 guy dressed as a clown take the straight man role here, laying down a buttery-smooth canvas for Haley to paint with ALL the colors.

      My introduction to Puddles was a video clip from an audition episode of "___'s Got Talent" or "The X Factor" or some such show. Not really my thing, but he's certainly very talented and clever, deserving a lot of respect for his craft.

    • @skyelyte1699

      It was pretty clear the song was intended to be a duet and Haley totally upstaged Puddles. I think he responded to that by taking the supporting role and it showed total class on his part. She is a skilled vocalist so as I see it she showed arrogance and a pretty inflated ego to stomp all over Puddles in vocals. This could have been one of the best duets ever, but Haley backed Puddles down to a back up singer. It was very disappointing.

    I like the way that the two singers interacting altered the emotional context of the original song. It didn’t feel flippant to me, rather it felt like what it feels like when friends with different emotional problems use their relationship to balance each other. The world is mad, he is depressed, and she is nervously manic. Together however he can support her by anchoring her in the moment when she looses herself and she can pull him into motion when he is stuck in the mire. The world is mad, but each time they sing it together it is sweeter and more light hearted than the last. I don’t know, maybe I’m reading to much into it.

      They cut him because the show is totally fake. They know who the finalists and probably even winner will be before the first episode is shot. The early rounds usually debut one or two acts each episode that will make it to the finale, several that would have no hope of advancing, one or two that are good but just not good enough, one or two that have emotionally compelling backstories (sometimes the actual finalists do), and one or two that are established and talented but not well known. They're basically ringers to keep the show interesting. If there's a really highly talented act that gets cut in the first one or two rounds, they were probably already professionally performing and scouted for paid appearances on the show and are just there to spice things up for the audience.

    Coming from a person who is extremely TERRIFIED of CLOWNS, Puddles is a different story. His makeup & costume does not terrify enough like most clowns do. But a couple years ago my boyfriend and I watched his AGT audition that was on my recommended and we REALLY liked his voice. It is so smooth! So we ended up on a Puddles binge for an hour or so listening to many of his covers. You have been missing out. His covers on his channel are really good too.
    MAD WORLD is one of my favorite songs by the original artist "Tears for Fears". I grew up in the 90's listening to 80's music a lot. And Tears for Fears is one of my favs from that era. It hurts my music soul when most ppl only reference the darker version, which don't get me wrong is beautiful & Adam Lambert did a great cover, but the original is a bit faster with great music parts that truly make you feel a little "Mad". lol just putting that out there since it is my fav song of "Tears for Fears". czcams.com/video/u1ZvPSpLxCg/video.html

    I never heard this duet before of a song I love. I love the dichotomy of Puddle’s low singing voice combine with Haley’s higher voice. The icing on the cake is the dichotomy of the two “attitudes” of the voices because of the two “attitudes” of the lyrics. The sadness of dreams in which I’m dying (Puddles) but they are the best dreams I’ve ever had (Haley).

    I feel like Haley's voice overwhelmed Puddles. She has such a strong voice and timbre that it can drown out others. He was definitely toning it down and I don't think things were as balanced as they could have been.

      I didn't have the same impression. They both sounded great separately but I felt they had trouble blending. I also didn't find that there were enough through-lines to give the song a sense of cohesion.

    That was a performance of PMJ, I have not seen before and I am very thankful I did. Furthermore, that is the first time I got to listen to Puddles and that was quite the experience. His voice is amazing. It has depth, clarity and can relate emotion very very well. His body language and facial expressions were also on point. Definitely need to hear more from him on the channel. As for the performance overall, it was unsurprisingly great and very creative, especially the moment in which Haley appeared. I believe there is no need to say it, but Haley is ridiculously good and for me is one of the best in the world. The way she plays with her voice in some many different ways is such a joy to listen to.
    As for recommendations, more PMJ would always be a welcome addition to the channel. And since most people know how great Haley and Morgan are (which is true and I would be delighted if Elizabeth chooses their version of "Dear Prudence"), I would pick Robyn Adele Anderson or Ariana Savalas as great options as well.
