I love this version
This was her favorite song when she was young.
The "tears" in her eyes is just the eyes watering from the strong sun and contrast from the white salt. She really struggles to keep her eyes open, without sunglasses. I felt a bit sorry for her watching the first time. Amazing reaction btw, well deserved thumb up!
If you want to see an outstanding video directed by Meri Zamani, I would suggest "When Your Smiling". It features her classmates and teachers and her uncle/manager in the video. I think you will also be very impressed by the band, gives New Orleans jazz vibes.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ 👣👣👣👣👰♀️👰♀️👰♀️😲😲😲❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥💖💖💖thanks Aron for always great analysis "Fly my to the Moon "🌝 🌗🌛"! Angelina's favorite song!

The last few lines of this performance are pure Ella Fitzgerald. Amazing. I always wonder what it would be like if Sinatra or Ella were around today to see what they would think of her singing. One other thing. I have heard her more recent work and I think she may a victim of sub-par material. A lot of the great performers of the 50's and 60's like Ella and Sinatra had a wealth of great songs to sink their chops into. I believe Angelina is a world class artist who is living in an era where there are no more Great American Standards being written and she may be held back by that lack of world class material. I hope I'm wrong about that!
Hi Aaron .. you don't critizices .. you point out all those little things Angelina develope her skills .. I personal see her videos as high quality practice sessions for try out new stuff, genres, sounds and all sorts what come along with this and I think there isn't another Artist on this planet who we can watch the evolution and progress. Your comments on those minor nuances, with your Background in mind is so helpful to get a better understanding of all what happen over the time she grow up .. most are only listen but don't understand those nuances and the meaning in context to the song .. keep up your great work ..
Great analysis Aaron! As you’ve heard, this is one of Angelina’s most oft-repeated covers. It is a favorite of Angelina’s to sing too.
This has become a “signature” song of Angelina’s, at least from her early years. This is in part due to Mery’s brilliant visual cues and details that are layered throughout this masterpiece.
The last scene of Angelina embracing the moon has become iconic - almost a trademark of Angelina Jordan.
Couple Mery’s imagery with the lyrical thread that Angelina weaves through much of her original work (“…I’m the one who talks to the moon…”) and it’s hard not to come to the conclusion that both Angelina and Mery are creating their artistry on a higher plane than most mere mortals. It is mystical and mystifying. 🫶💛
“Fly me to the Moon” was Angelina's signature song when she was “young”, she has performed it countless times - it is said that more than sixty of these performances have been recorded. It was her first ever live appearance on television (“Senkveld” talk show March 2014) and is part of her first album (“It’s Magic, 2018). The most recent was from her 2022 summer concert tour (Kongsberg/Kurbadhagen) ruclips.net/video/Xw5X-gMUijU/видео.html.
Best known are appearances on ABC (The View, 2014) and at the O2 Arena London (Quincy Jones' Birthday 2018).
Among all these shots, this video in the salt fields stands out, it is nothing short of a work of art. It was filmed in September 2015 (= she is 9 years old) and directed by her grandmother Mery Zamani, who is an artist (poet and painter) herself. So there's some magic in it that's hard to explain. Some believe that this is the surface of the Moon or Mars/Jupiter (although there is no water or horses on any of them). Interpreting this video is like looking at a Picasso painting - there's a lot to talk about and you're not sure you understand the meaning...
It is unknown when the soundtrack for this video was recorded in the studio and mixed with the visuals - probably late 2015 or early 2016.
The location is somewhere in the southwestern United States, probably Southern California, but could also be Utah. Although Angelina is from Norway, she has relatives in LA and often traveled to California to visit them.
Still, my favorite rendition is the LinkedIn recording (2017) ruclips.net/video/b42IZF7KHRg/видео.html
I think you're the only reactor where I hit the thumbs up before I watch the reaction. 🤭👍🏻
That's amazing
I cant wait for you to do love dont let me go, I'd rather go blind, and natural woman. Love your reactions, thank you
Top 1 for sure, A-Aron. I have 57 top 1s. 😬
And in this song, especially with her vibrato or trills.It seems to me she's emulating a clarinet !!!!!
I I think you might like her rendition.On a little bit shots with steve harvey... And he handled her well.There was an interview before she sings..
I reacted to it already (not yet released) but I didn't see the interview
She is in a muddy ero in LA..😊💟
Her breathiness is always intentional. She learned very early on the affect her breathiness has with her music and uses it perfectly. Some reactors who are not too familiar with her describe her breathiness as a flaw or that she is just too young. Wrong. It's always intentional.
I'm sure but she definitely is learning it at this age and doesn't have perfect control of it yet
@@A-AronReacts Perfect reply. 👍
@@RobertDeMartinYours too 😜
Don't miss the vibrato at the begining of words like "stars" and "Mars" the second time through. Many singers use it at the end of words, but this is one of her signatures to watch for. She is starting to add personal touches wherever she pleases. It's a mark of her growing technical confidence!
Keep going bro ! The version she does for Quincy Jones will make your brain turn to jelly.
Thanks again A-Aron 👍🏻♥️
As one reactor remarked, Jordan doesn’t just sing the notes, she decorates them!
Angelina's sweet 8 year old vibrato is on full display here!
The moon shot at the end is much more important than it may appear, A-Aron. Apparently Mery's husband and Angelina's Grandfather would often refer to watching her from the moon once he was gone. He did pass when she was about twelve, and one of her first original songs called "Million Miles" was penned in tribute to him and the moon features prominently in both the lyrics, and the lyric video of that song.
Great comment Eric. The image of the moon also plays a significant part in the music video version of “Million Miles.” I have also notice that in the “live studio version” as well as most of her live performances of “MM”, Angelina gestures to an imaginary moon, raising her hand to the sky.
🌙💛
Actually she was 13 when her maternal grandfather died and 12 when her paternal grandfather died. It was her maternal GF that the song was about.
Angelina had music videos, multi-national TV and radio appearances, a stage name and a commitment to sing barefoot in public all before she turned 9 years old.
Enjoying your journey through Angelina's music, there are so many amazing performances ahead for you!
GENIUS!!!!!!
Absolutely MAGICAL!!!!
OMG!!!!
Filmed in Southern California.
I've always suspected somewhere near Red Rock State Park but I could be wrong.
@@localnetsolutions I heard once the exact location but I can't remember now, just that it was in Southern California.
Ive said it before but her 12 year old performance of this with full orchestra arrangement by no other than Quincy Jones himself is where her buttery goodness starts to set in and that velvetty texture coming forward, her ability to put you in a trance was well on its way.
The salt flates fly me to the moon video i love thank you wild bill
These performances will not be in order as you have already passed her first performance of this but hopefully you will get to it on "The View", it is her best most impressive at 8 yo right after winning NGT.
I already reacted to it. Not in front of my schedule (out at dinner) but I think it gets released in two days or so
Appreciate your handling of AJ's journey... I'm learning as you go.
This video was made in 2016 I think, when she was 10, the audio may have been produced earlier. Angelina spent a few months in the USA from summer to the end of the year. Here the location is Nevada, I think the climb up to the Moon was in Red Rock Canyon, close to Las Vegas, not sure about the salt lake. If you were to ask an Astronomer what Mars might be like in the spring, they might say it was a good approximation.
At the end of that visit Angelina did a short rendition of this song for an advert for LinkedIn, recorded at Log Cabin Studios in New York. A rather different style but certainly one of my favourites. On that occasion she also produced a demo of a new song (was never released officially) that is for many her best ever performances - I'm Still holding out for you - keep that in mind when you reach her 10 year old performances - she was almost 11 then.
If you would like to hear her Quincey Jones arrangement of this song, you will have to wait until she is 12 and opens a concert at the O2 arena, she was invited specially by Quincy himself, for his 85th Birthday concert.
If you want to hear a full Bosa Nova version you will have to wait until she was 16, on July 10th 2022, Kurbadhagen in Sandefjord Norway. I was there, it was a day that I will always remember...
Very cool, and good information!
That shot of her in the white dress leading a very placid white horse is so symbolic, but of what I can't quite decide. The patient power of innocence, maybe?
You are the best hitting the Angelina classic. Such a blessing ❤❤❤
Thank you Aron for all the effort you are putting in to our girl who we adore. this is a favourite it never gets old , don't know when you will get to 12 yrs old AJ singing for Quincy but when you do you might like prior to the concert she meets Quincy and treats him to a little "Dream a little dream of me" with her cell phone as backing , he compliments her and she bends over and gives him a kiss an her holds her like a grandfather she is such a beautiful soul , later which you don't see is they spend time together and he tells her that she is the greatest talent since Michael Jackson and they sit and cry together , it's these kind of things about Angelina that touch me so much.💜💜💜👣
There are several problems trying to pick favorite Angelina songs-as you’re aware by now. She sings so many different genres at different ages. As you noted, how do you compare today’s to I Put a Spell on You? Or Summertime at 8 to Bohemian Rhapsody at 13? And you’ve barely scratched the surface.
Most Angels don’t say they have a favorite, but they have a cloud of a few dozen that fit into that category. I don’t even have a favorite Fly Me to the Moon. There are three that are all different that I like best-and she kills them all.
My favorite Angelina performance is, as others have frequently noted, the last one I hear. Of course, there are some songs that I prefer over others, but for any particular song, it's usually the last one that I've heard! Then it stays my favorite until I hear another version.❤️👣
This is her signature Song with over 40 different versions of it and you're right with Frank Sinatra. She got the personal invitation of Quincy Jones, the Producer of Frank and CB to sing his original arrangement at the start of his birthday show at the London O2 Arena when she was 12🎉
And she nails it!! Love to listen to that performance at least once a week.
She has turned nine here you can see the teeth progressively grow in in her different age performances.Thank you for yourwork though to critique her age performances,your details are well noted.She does choose to be breathy in a lot of her notes.It is a great contrast to her fuller stronger notes and later to compliment her belts as she becomes older thank you 😊
thanks for your explanation of intonation my understanding was wrong I always thought it was the differences of emphasis on different words I would appreciate more education of the musical terms you use with a demo of that term
Great Reaction and Analysis 👍🙏👣💯😎
My wish is that sometime during her lifetime, Angelina will be able to sing Fly Me To The Moon on the Moon!
Fyi up til the late 1950s worldwide scientific belief is that the moon is plasma.
Not solid.
Anywho, she would have a helmet on so singing might be hard and muted. But I get what your sayin
@@I_scribbles I am thinking that Angelina would be singing in a room inside of a moonbase where there would be a small audience - such as a recreation room or media room.
@@robertsilva631 HaHaHa you guy's are silly but I love it. ❤
She should sing it on the space capsule en route to the moon. 😎
@@vorlon1 On board NASA's Artemis, now that would be possible. 👍
Hi A-Aron reacts, I forget to write where you will find it: Angelina Jordan offiziell Chanel and it is called "Live from Concert with Angelina Jordan".
You may have a new favorite on a daily basis;)
That's ok lol
@@A-AronReacts Probably 😄🤩 My top 5 contains at least 25 🤗 👣She just added one more these days 👣
@@jollyo9276lol
One of the things I enjoy, esp. in her younger years is how other singers start to bleed into her covers and how it progresses. Naturally, but with more intent as time goes on. She became so skilled at so many things that I think that is one of the reasons she progressed so rapidly. It gives her the ability to sing in any genre and even many genres in a single piece. Angelina can envision a song, hers or cover, (I think she knows very quickly how she wants a song to sound) and because so many great artist's have been poured into her soul she has few restrictions on what she can do. Believe me when I say you have just seen the flicker on the candle---the bonfire is still to come.
Once again I like and appreciate what you are doing.
On a final note, I wonder how those close to her felt as they experienced this up close and she's just getting started.
❤️❤️❤️❤️👣 I really like that you are reviewing so many of her more obscure performances, in that many reactors just go with the most highly popular videos, of which this is one. All of her performances are of great interest to we Angels, but it is hard to find reviews of them, and if you do it, usually is just them saying it's wonderful in a way that makes me think that they are saying that because they think that's what we want to hear. There may be some of that for sure, but many of us really want to know how any particular piece fits into her development vis-a-vis other pieces. That's not to say that we don't enjoy them all. Some reactors also don't take into account how and by whom the recordings were made and other factors like whether she was sick when the audio was recorded. All of these things are important in my view and need to be accounted for to have an accurate view of her development as a musician. Keep up the good work! 😊
Fully agree!
@@peterjohansson587 😉❤️👣
Video was taped when she was 9.5 yo. Audio likely only slightly earlier.
Fly Me To The Moon: All of Angelina’s performances of Fly Me to The Moon are outstanding but my favorite is when Angelina (12) opens Quincy Jones 85th Birthday Celebration at O2 Arena! ruclips.net/video/uFtFHs2Dg5E/видео.html Backstage view: ruclips.net/video/2VbPlOkadqY/видео.htmlsi=KBHx-yqLGord-0rb
I can't wait for Aaron to watch that one!
❤
She has taken over from Frank Sinatra!😇🌸
She's not 8 in this video at the salt flats. She's 9 here, a few months older than her performance of I Put a Spell on You, at 9 yrs 2 mos. This song is one of Angelina's favorite songs & is sort of a Signature song for her, with so many different versions over the years.
Got it... it's listed wrong then on the dimlylit site...will ping the owner if I can find him (he commented before but I don't think I saved any info)
Hallo A-AronReacts, please Listen to her concert Album at the age of ten. You, as an jazz musicion will go to 7th heaven.
Fantastic observations as always Aron..I often wonder if the horse represents winged Pegasus there to fly her to the moon? Just love this performance ..oh and thx for explaining intonation for me..chuffed you read my query previous reaction 🙏
Very interesting reaction/analysis - by the way, have you reacted to her "Portrait of a Child" at 9 yet...? To my mind that is one of the most interesting and impressive of her early performances (it's more of a jam session / rehearsal). Same question for her rendition of Fly Me to the Moon on The View, also at 8 (just after winning NGT) ? Your comments make me feel we fans rather take for granted (even underestimate) just how good she was and is...
Just a note to say the original is Portrait of a Man - because at least one reactor couldn't find the reference on search engines. Best to choose the video with subtitles, but I think that's exclusive to BigAngieFan channel.
@@fredneecher1746 the video with subtitles was taken down for some reason... I think this is the only version still up: ruclips.net/video/80f3t3dmBbk/видео.html
Surprised to see a music video for Angelina? Jump one year ahead, you'll find a full production, with a mini-scenario, lot of people acting on When You're Smiling: ruclips.net/video/bLuNQ6s7fCQ/видео.htmlsi=ePuck15FvvTET11v
Do you know the other barefoot princesse of Norway? I would love to see you react to Aurora's cover of Nat King Cole's Nature Boy: ruclips.net/video/-DNpFmwvtuw/видео.htmlsi=9koi-bUUo_13DjXL

Great Reaction and Analysis A-Aron... the attached is a BossaNova version of Fly Me To the Moon by Angelina when she was 16.... for your journey down the road.
Thank you for posting that link. I have heard other songs from that concert, but not this one. That is fantastic!❤️👣
You're welcome@@Pyanfar
