You should listen to her version at 10 years old it's not nearly as polished as this one but she does put everything that she's got into it. And of course it's great !!!
Agree. Completely raw and even more emotional. To me, her version at 10 and a couple of versions from Chet Baker are favourites. This version is immaculate vocally, but to polished and "produced" in arrangement and instrumentation for my taste.
Angelina Goddess of Jazz the greatest version of this song ever and my favourite ever vocal by anyone at 16yrs old she is just majestic, beamed down to earth to elevate music to an experience you feel and hear with your heart, no one feels like AJ ,she radiates an activity that is beyond words , if you get it, your heart tells you all you need to know.💗👣
Absolutely the best cover of this splendid song performed by the best jezzisti of every era, Angelina here sixteen completely incomparable with anyone in the world !!! Thanks Alex , excellent reaction, good life ... Massimo
I've recently re-listened to artists that have also covered this piece. Including: Mr. Frank Sinatra, Ms. Billy Holiday, Ms.Sarah Vaughan, Ms. Ella Fitzgerald, Mr.Bublé and even Ms. Chaka Khan. All are very good, however the world class vocals from this young lady are unsurpassed!!! Rb
In case you were wondering, the lady with Angelina is her grandmother Mery. If you can't tell, they really love each other and are part of an amazing family.
The song comes from a motion picture musical, "Babes in Arms" from 1937. Written by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, it has been featured on over 1300 albums, performed by over 600 different artists. After its initial showing in the movie, other notable singers, such as Sarah Vaughn and Frank Sinatra turned this song into a Jazz standard. Angelina's recording is the most beautiful rendition of this song I've ever heard in my 65 years!!
Interesting to hear just the audio, here the picture is from back in Nov/Dec 2017, in the rainbow studios. Angelina was recording the album It's Magic. The picture was taken by the director, of Angelina gently holding her grandma, her very own funny Valentine...
Sinatra, Nina Simone, and a host of numerous singers have performed it over the course of many years, but the sensual delivery that Angelina brings with this arrangement, that reminds me of a sultry lounge singer performing this is a jazz club, is the best I've ever experienced.
My favorite Angelina cover.. absolutely brilliant vocals.. Strange that this version is the same backing track as her original cover but with just the photo of her and Grandma Mery that was originally used in the brilliant Kaleidoscope Rmx remix that used a different backing track…instead of her selfie stroll through the antique store
Everyone has sung it! Over 600 individual artists, over 1000 recordings. Primary influences on AJs version likely are: Ella, Sarah Vaughn, Doris Day & Sinatra.
Thanx for informing him, it would have taken literally 10 seconds on the Google machine for him to find this out thusly making his reactions a little more knowledgeable of the subject matter. Bro, do some basic research, you can do it without listening to the song.
So happy Richard requested this one. It's a true gem and a masterclass in jazz, soultry vocals. Also, it shows that Angelina is not a one trick pony. She can do whatever she likes with her voice, sing any genre and be brilliant at it. Best version I've ever heard!
You really should watch/react to her version at 10 years old. Little Angelina sitting at home, singing her heart out. The most adorable version of this song you'll ever see! ruclips.net/video/sZ25H4a2gPI/видео.html
First she tried this song when she was younger possibly 9 years old (not quite sure). And here she done it at 16 years old and she marked it in history as the best version. There's no better than this now and in future, someone can only cone along and probably match it. Just masterpiece...
This classic I believe is almost a century old and has been sung by the greatest singers who have succeeded in the various generations. Then sixteen-year-old Angelina arrived and she did the definitive cover: "so it should be sung".
This version and her voice reminded me of Judy Garland from the 1930's. Angelina does have that classic sound to her voice and it's beautiful. I wish you would have done another dual reaction on this one from when she was 10 yrs old singing the intro as well to this one and how much her vocals have matured within 6 yrs difference.
She also released a version in the same venue she filmed the cover of Suspicious Minds. And I agree that pauses could go anywhere but not right at the crest of a perfect note with no going back to catch it. I mean I have heard this version sooo many times as a fanatic of all things Angelina, but some people have not heard her at all. Never heard those glorious crescendos. Let those notes ring. And yes we understand the copyright insanity. Thanks so much for posting these reacts.
"My Funny Valentine" is a show tune from the 1937 Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart coming of age musical Babes in Arms in which it was introduced by teenaged star Mitzi Green. The song became a popular jazz standard, appearing on over 1300 albums performed by over 600 artists. One of them was Chet Baker, for whom it became his signature song. In 2015, it was announced that the Gerry Mulligan quartet featuring Chet Baker's version of the song was inducted into the Library of Congress's National Recording Registry for the song's "cultural, artistic and/or historical significance to American society and the nation’s audio legacy". Mulligan also recorded the song with his Concert Jazz Band in 1960. This song has been covered many times over the years including Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald and many more!
Originally a Frank Sinatra number. There are two AJ versions, this one from 2022, and an earlier 2016 track which has the introductory verse at ruclips.net/video/sZ25H4a2gPI/видео.html .. Greetings from the UK
Certainly, from "Babes In Arms" and sung by a not well known Mitzi Green, who regrettably died aged 45. The trumpeter Chet Baker used Valentine as his theme number, but it's popularity was really thanks to Frank. Perhaps Angelina's version can take it forward into the new era.
If you did not cut in the middle of words it would be a more pleasant reactive experience for sure. If you must, then hit the quick backtrack to reestablish the context...
Yes..I spent time writing a scathing text at his lack of care in where he interrupted. I was actually irritated at his seeming lack of interest in respecting the artist's performance. But, I deleted my text...and glad I did; your 'head's up' to this reactor is much better. Thank you.
@@lindathompson3982 It is always a bit of a dilemma because everyone has a style or take. But some aspects do grate for me...his other fault is the overdriven distorted mic, but how many wheezes to put in one comment is problematic too....thanks for the reply, I always wonder...too much, not enough...
Fantástico 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Lasciate!!!!
È pazzesca!!!!!!!!!MAGICA!!!!!!!!!

Awesome reaction, its 200+ songs and over 325 videos, God Bless!
Such a beautiful rendition! Smooth, jazzy vibe.
Thanks for the reaction to our angel Angelina...She is simply the best...
There is actually an intro part to the song which many covers eliminate. Angelina sings this part in her 10 year old version.
You missed the video that was made and that goes with this song! But still, Nice job sir, thank you!
It's honestly an insanely incredible performance... Literally can't be done better.
Alex, this is absolutely the best rendition of this song I’ve ever heard.

Thanks Roger, I was going to make the same comment. I don't know of another version that even comes close to this vocal performance.
Best Version Ever! Masterpiece!
Great choices by this patreon. Two from Angelina and one from The Warning, who I am going to see tonight in Cincinnati.
Rock on Andy!!!

Bravo BRAVO Mr. Ridgemanron!!!!ABSOLUTELY exactly!!!We have tanti tanti superstar pero questa VOCE è divina!!! MAGICA!!!!!!!!!!!
@@lutobravodaniel2189 Not sure if there can ever be better than this. - Non sono sicuro che possa mai esserci di meglio di questo.
I heard that it was written in Elizabethan times { 1500s } but lots of artists have sung it.... its called an old Standard.... and she killed it, wow.
Yea, covered so many times by so many Artists. Her video of this same song at age 10 is very special too. Thanks for your reaction.
My favorite Angelina cover.. absolutely brilliant vocals.. Strange that this version is the same backing track as her original cover but with just the photo of her and Grandma Mery that was originally used in the brilliant Kaleidoscope Rmx remix that used a different backing track…instead of her selfie stroll through the antique store
Love it ! But if I have to try to find one of her cover's that I like the best,
my brain will explode.
Everyone has sung it! Over 600 individual artists, over 1000 recordings. Primary influences on AJs version likely are: Ella, Sarah Vaughn, Doris Day & Sinatra.
Probably recorded at late 15.
I remember Frank Sinatra singing it and later with his daughter Nancy.🤗🎼
This song is originally from the 1937 musical Babes in Arms and was introduced by 17 year old Mitzi Green. Covered by countless artists since.
Thanx for informing him, it would have taken literally 10 seconds on the Google machine for him to find this out thusly making his reactions a little more knowledgeable of the subject matter. Bro, do some basic research, you can do it without listening to the song.
@@roddiener1235Yes...Good grief! So simple.
Angelina Jordan, Hello,(Adele)she was 9. Plays piano on this one.
😀😀😀😀😀
So happy Richard requested this one. It's a true gem and a masterclass in jazz, soultry vocals.
Also, it shows that Angelina is not a one trick pony. She can do whatever she likes with her voice, sing any genre and be brilliant at it. Best version I've ever heard!

As you see Angelina makes the songs her own as she sings.

Man is that ever beautiful. Holy shit.
Alex. You can’t loose with Angelina Jordan. But you will run out of words often. Very often.
Beautiful probably the most popular version was by Frank Sinatra because he was king in his day

Actually Frank Sinatra did not record this song until the 50s. This song is originally from 1937.

She have given out a video with this song. Argh you paused at the hight of the song 😂
I know! I just about lost it. I wondered if he was even really listening.😮
Frank Sinatra dead it
I appreciate your amazement at her performances at this age but Alex, her age is irrelevant IMHO.
