this is outdoors, open air with some wind so no studio acoustics, auto tune or other enhancements...this is raw Angelina and she is a real jaw dropper!
Love to see a dude get this enthusiastic about her singing. Many American guys wouldn't admit thier emotion over this young ladies voice. I'm American and I can relate to Frank here.
I remember she struggled a bit with the high notes on this song when she was quite a bit younger. This time she got through those high notes with ease. She has such a good breath support and her tone is just mesmerizing.
She does not do covers. She takes songs to a new dimension. And then she owns it. I loved Whitney's original. I love Angelina's original, in the new dimension. Thanks Fable.
Miss Jordan is 16. My mother was in a big band trio so good they opened for Frank Sinatra, and I've been listening to Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Peggy Lee, and so on for seven decades. This "girl" is miraculous. I have no idea how she can cover these songs without being rote or rigid or predictable in any way.....miraculous.
Wow, how quickly one forgets about Grace Vanderwaal !! But even i cant stop admire ring the bare foot Princess !! OMG greatest talent since Michael Jackson !!
The remarkable fact is Angelina is a seasoned professional at 16. She has been performing, composing and recording over the past 10 years as much as she and her family cared to. Same goes for now. They are doing exactly whatever they want with the limitless respect, support and demand she has earned. The future is coming at their pace and it is fun to watch.
We tend to forget her age. She is far beyond it anyway. Not many artist with a back catalog and a voice like hers at 8yo, 10yo, 12yo, 14yo and now at 16yo. Very interesting Journey we are having with this lovely girl. 🤗 I start to hope I will live to be a 100yo just to be able to follow her..30 more years! 😊
Angelina is only 16, although (incredibly) she has been performing live and on TV for nine years now. But can I just emphasize something here - this is a live OUTDOOR performance of this Whitney Houston classic - and yet Angelina still can sound this amazing! Whitney - we miss you dearly - but your most epic song is in safe hands.
Absolutely agree super special the most gorgeous special gem that was stunningly beautiful .an yoyr reaction was beautiful too thanku so much lovely special Fil much love and God bless always x
Fighting constantly with the wind blowing her hair into her face, and taking the time to wave to someone in the crowd, she was able to keep 100% focused and aware, NEVER missed a note, a key, or one second of her impeccable timing! Not even out of breath! Just absolutely stunning!
The hair thing: Quite few comment about it. I find it irritating at times, but, thing is, it's intentional - fly-away bangs - meant to bring focus to the face. Quite few performers use them. Angelina had them in her first song, Bohemian Rhapsody, and kept them, so she knows what she's doing.
You might appreciate some info. on AJ's performance: It's one from several at this event over the years, which is sponsored by Norway's second official broadcaster, TV2. It's aired all over Scandinavia. By tradition the people in the audience get the live feed on their phones with a lyrics overlay. It's such a huge venue without mega-screens so the in-phone visual helps, and the idea is to sing along (Title of the festival: Allsang pa Grensen - "everybody sings at the border" [the drone b-roll is of Fredricksten fortress in the city of Halden on the border between Norway and Sweden]) TV2 is known for its high quality production, which really helps in the outdoor setting. In fact, they taped this performance twice, no break - rumor says because AJ asked for it. This was a homecoming of sorts for AJ with a big TV audience (the point of it all really) and she rolled out her newest persona/voice - Diva. Her performance skills and statuesque beauty now match the Diva part. She recorded this at home four years ago with a voice barely strong enough to cover the final belting. This time she has power to spare, with a broad, rich and warm voice of a master pop singer/performer - can she belt, or what? An amazing performance.
With this performance I noted that Angelina has made huge strides in the developed of her stage presence. Not only did she look beautiful in that gown but her body, hand and head movements were spot on.
Angelina Jordan is the only Artist , that sings with so much emotion on every rendition, and touches so deep inside in your heart, that makes you fill teary. And thanks, I do appreciate your words concerning Angelina. you always accurate, She deserves all the attention due to her incredible talent which is IMHO a world class and a unique singer.
I love that culture of community all singing. That transition at 8:00 was so smooth, flawless. It is such a wonderful journey watching her grow up and hearing her voice mature. Yes, she is becoming a worldwide legend.
Hello again Fable. Can you even imagine ? She had to perform this song live two times IN A ROW, only 30 seconds apart. And that was after she performed it during both the sound check AND the rehearsals. Effectively she performed this song 4 times in a short time period. Incredible stamina and voice/breath control to sound like this on the fourth inning. She also performed "Bohemian Rhapsody" at least twice. Just incredibly impressive. She is the future G.O.A.T. There simply is no doubt in my mind about it. I almost can't wait until July 10th when I get to see her in concert here in Norway. I LOVED your reactions to her today. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Love and respect from Norway ♥♥♥
Hi poolhallshark - there are a group of AJ fans from all over the World meeting up before the concert. We are meeting at 1600 for 16.30 at Palmehaven (opposite concert) then walking to a pub called the James Clarke. Concert is 1800-2200. Think we will meet up afterwards as well. RUclipsr Alain Papier has arranged.
@@steve1711 Awesome. I'll see if I can dispose of my wife, son and mother-in-law somewhere, as I don't expect them to want to participate in the meet&greet 😅 I'll do my best to be there🙂 Thanks for the information👍
NEWS! NEWS! Angelina just dropped a new cover of I have nothing studio version in black-and-white you need to check that out OMG !!!!!!!! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍👍👍
Congratulations to you, you are having a happy day! Angelina, with her ability to thrill for all her abilities, makes any moment lighter and happier, changing anyone's mood. Happy summary of your day, Angelina is good for humanity being a true artist!!
You warmed my heart with your reaction...I truly believe Angelina is on this earth to bring us all to a Pause. Listen. Reflect. And, together, as soulful & respectful human beings, make this a better world. ❤️
I have a feeling that recognition will explode once she reaches adulthood, right now her family is wisely protecting her from the pitfalls of young fame. Meanwhile she is honing her craft, mastering her instrument, refining her sound so that when she is ‘unleashed’ on the masses, she will dominate the music scene, in my opinion.in the meantime she is getting ready to release her first album, let’s see what happens next
Thanks for the double beauty of Angelina today Fable. My apologies to the late great Whitney, but Angelina has arrived in all her elegance, beauty, and Class...Now couldn't the mundane Music Industry use a big dose of Angelina these days. Your the man Fable...a twofer Angelina day. Cheers again..... BTW, this concert is the "Sing Along at the Border" done each year at Allsang pa Grensen so everyone in the audience is given the lyrics to sing along.
The foundation of her music genius is so strong because of her appreciation of the basics & her immense skill in presentation & arrangement... we hear the music differently when she performs...it sounds different, but better......this is really unique...she can do it as few before her ever have .. ...she exhibited this talent at 8 but now the vocal tools & mastery are all there....amazing!
Everything you said is absolutely spot on! Her "appreciation of the basics ... immense skill in presentation & arrangement ... hear the music differently ... different, but better ... unique ... do it as few before her ever have ... vocal tools & mastery ..." The only other artist who comes immediately to mind who would fit this description, in my opinion, is Elvis Presley. Many, including myself, have noted the striking similarities, vocally & visually, between him and Angelina. Yes, she will be immortalized as a legend!
@@johnbattles1002 one of the few current singers that's in her universe today is Cynthia Erivo...she's outstanding also, but totally different...many have compared Angelina to Mozart & if you recall that great scene in Amadeus where he takes Salieri's ditty for the king, memorizes it in a flash & improves upon it immediately as Salieri stands by dumbfounded....i always think that when Angelina performs & makes every song her own...just astounding, but i love great talent (though its difficult to find) & she fits the bill!
Man that touched my soul you are so right what a beautiful sweet incredible amazing young lady ..phenomenal artist ..live ..just wow thanku so much amazing lovely reaction much love and God bless always x
Great reaction, Fil. The sweet little girl who sang on that same stage at just 8 years old has grown up, in every sense, is now a wonderful artist, very professional but who retains that wonderful passion for music and always manages to excite us with every splendid interpretation. Here she is even more charming and mesmerizing as well as having a unique voice, with her typical and beautiful vocal variations of hers. She is simply magical, on her first return to Norway in more than two years, like a Frozen princess. 💛🧡❤️
I always ask myself when I read some negative comments: Why do the critics only ever compare Angelina's performances with this song to Whitney Houston's studio version and never to Whitney's live performance??? Whitney's studio version was recorded in a high-end studio with an army of professional musicians and countless takes, and she was 29 years old. I don't know of any live performance by Whitney that even comes close to the quality of the studio version. One exception was at the 1993 Billboard Awards, but there were rumors that it was playback, but I don't think so. I would like Angelina to do a studio version, but Angelina doesn't have to prove herself, she already does it with every single song. 💯 *AJ* 💯
And Albert. This morning Sunday 24th July 2022 - Your wish came true when Angelina premiered her amazing, incredible "Black & White" studio version. It's in her official channel - ❤❤
@@glenmorris135 Thank you, I was there and counted down. Yes, spectacular and after her last concert on July 10th when Angelina told why she sings this song and dedicated it to her grandma Mery Zamani, I understand this song completely differently. Before it was a beautiful song sung great, now it hits my heart every time. 🤗🤗
Yeah exactly that sir. And good for her she's earned it, her family has done wonders with her obviously and have earned it, and yeah 10k hrs was thousands of hours ago right. We can't all find our passion at 2, continue to love every minute of it from there, and get professional experience for 10 years already at only 16. And lucky us too to be here for it with an opportunity to catch up on her music and story, before she blows up with her own music. Something so wholesome, witnessing her journey. I can't even find anything to worry about other random crazy people or events or something, not even republic records who seem to have bowed down and just offered their services as far as this industry goes, thus far, like anyone should. Not that they won't make some monies. She's human, probably, and a kid trying to grow up in our crazy world, we should be worried at this age but I don't know, just not. Just hope people are there for her when she needs them, and would imagine that's what they do and here she is right.
They are reading lyrics because it's a "sing-along arrangement". They got the texts of all the songs of all the artists in the show. Amazing how awesome Angelina is live (y)
Thank you for your great reaction video. Let us pause for a minute to appreciate what Angelina just did. Still feeling the effect of Jet lag on a cold and windy day, this was her second performance of the same song. This event was being recorded to be televised the following day. Due to some technical issues, she was asked to perform it again. Angelina the ultimate professional obliged with a phenomenal live performance that Outshines even the best studio performances of this song. This was pure class, pure talent, pure beauty, pure magic, and simply pure Angelina.
I've been watching your reactions to Angelina for over a year now and I like your style and I believe that you have become an Angel. All of us fans appreciate that you support her like she deserves. Yes I believe that she will be a modern time superstar as well. She would already be at the top if she did the garbage type music we are getting now. She will be a superstar even if she doesn't do the mainstream garbage we get now. I couldn't help but notice the Cobra photo on your wall behind me. I'm sending you a photo of my car to enjoy. Keep up the good work. Ron from California USA It won't paste here so I'll find your email
Please tell me I'm not the only one to feel proud when I look at this? I mean, not only of her, but somehow of our whole species. I know, there are humans who do some terrible things, some really terrible, terrible sh*t. But then, there are people who do THIS, you know? Thank God.
Fable, you are right, Angelina hits what she aims at. I saw a fan version of this and Angelina stood where she stands and performed this song twice in a row back to back (I believe this video is the second one). I don't know if she was not satisfied with the first or if there was some technical issue. Anyway, huge song, performed twice, live...just another day at the office for Angelina! Wow!
👍👍 In 24-48hrs she displayed what she can do with arguably the Three greatest vocalists that ever lived,, (Elvis,,Whitney,,Freddie) took arguably their biggest and toughest number one song and do what Angelina does best,, angel-ize them into one of her MASTERPIECES,,,🤯🤯🤯 👣🌬🌎
Hey Fable hi! Great job on all your reactions, your very entertaining and funny and honest . I agree with you also Angelina sings live with just her voice and she sounds way better than most singers with help and need enhancing. The the thing is there's no machine or tricks to heart, soul and feeling in a song like she does nobody . I love listening to her so much. I actually have to listen to her several times a day!! Thanks Angelina.
I think her earlier version of this was more of an impression (a great one) of Whitney, as she used to do with her covers of other artists. Now her confidence lets her make these classics her own.
AND she sang it Twice, back to back. firt time the wind blew her right side hair into her mouth and AJ insisted to sing it again after the hair was fixed with hairspray. This demanding song singing back to back TWICE. WOW WOW Elmar from Germany.
Fil she has up'ed her game a bunch in the last 6 months. I feel if they let her go now, I'm a 100% going for her career full-time, she is going to absolutely start setting the standards instead of just meeting them. Her whole bearing is regal, and yet in the middle of this giant of a song she notices and waves at probably a young fan who is going to go away from this concert going, "she waved at me!!!!" Angelina has learned to 'cover' her high notes by giving the highest note a bit of her vibrato to finish off the note which gives the listener the feeling of her control whether she is or not. I really liked that. Compare the singing of how she finishes the highest note on AGT the Champions in 2020 and that same note for this performance in 2022. And see how much better the current ending makes you feel as opposed to the 2020 performance. Not that the 2020 performance was terrible but it does show growth in getting her voice to lay down nicely when she wants it to. Thanks Fil for your reaction as usual full of useful insights and observations that make our hearing the music more full, more enjoyable.
In 2020, Angelina was vocally at the peak of an advanced level, not having the qualitative power of timbre. Now she is already in the middle of an outstanding level. That's a huge difference.
I heard from someone at the concert she did the song twice because something was wrong with the sound set up. Also that she has been declared a national treasure by her king and government.
AJ has ascended from The Barefoot Princess to the throne of The Queen. Plain and simple THE QUEEN. And she's only fricken 16! The Queen of what? You ask. Jazz? Rock? Pop? R&B? Soul? All of it. Angelina Jordan is the QUEEN OF SONG.
The thing that kills me is that, with this song especially, if it’s not sung exactly like Whitney sang it, then it’s not being sung properly. People have to understand that Angelina doesn’t do karaoke and rearranges the songs to make them her own, as she has done here. She sings the song the way she thinks it should be sung, not because she can’t sing it like the original, but because of the way the music moves her, and usually she’s right! People are reading the lyrics on their phones instead of watching Angelina perform. What a missed opportunity!
I think this version is in a lower key than the one she recorded at age 12 or 13. Although I’m sure she has the range to go higher, I think the richness of her ever maturing voice made this later version more powerful in the slightly lower key. I could be completely wrong about the key I’d be grateful if someone with more musical knowledge than I, would confirm the exact key she sang the song on each occasion. Thanks!
Early fan recordings showed it two times back to back. I think they were filming for television. The site l believe is a fortress ruin on the border of Sweden and Norway. This particular celebration is an audience sing along that happens every year.
*I Have Nothing is a Whitney Houston song....how can you not that? LOL. She has done this song before actually....in another video already. Yes....she is stunning indeed in that dress. Blossoming into a beauty.*
I think the people she has around her is still protecting her because of her age so she hasn't really gone 'mainstream' yet, but just imagine how her popularity will explode when she turns 18 and the following couple years after that. She is 'Adele 2.0' in a waiting room right now.
The only versions of this song worth listening to are performed by Whitney, Sohyang, and now Angelina. If you compare AJ's earlier performance (at 13) of "I Have Nothing" with this performance, you'll immediately understand her growth in this genre. She is spectacular here, fully worthy to be compared to Whitney. And AJ is . . . 16 years old. Just mind blowing.
@@SCHTRAM Well, I have to be frank. Jessie sings with GREAT technical ability, but she conveys only a fraction of AJ's sincerity and emotional engagement. Let's not get into the differences in vibrato, dynamics, phrasing, etc. -- but they all go AJ's way, IMHO.
Oslo Norway her house her family house to from short walk down the hill Yes here and Los Angeles he goes back-and-forth and now when she leaves here I understand she’s going to Japan for a concert pretty busy young lady and very popular gonna be a lot of big celebrities I love her
Fil, yep, no such thing as a tough call for Angelina. The lady will tackle any song and stamp her own mark on it. There is no reason why a live performance can't match a studio recording (after all you're singing live in a vocal booth) provided that studio recording was done clean. In all my time as a studio and live sound engineer there were two ladies that stood out who found careers at session vocalist, because at that time looks mattered. (nowdays we have Susan Boyle who kicked the people who judge into place). #QcumberSquad #AngelinaJordan #WitneyHuston - Fil, I'm off back to the study. Fil, my comment under Harry' freestyle would not stick.
Wondering what the tough part is? She is without a doubt the best at least for me. The other versions may be a one or two times listen. Hers is on automatic replay.
Amazing Angelina - if this was performed in the US, the audience would be going crazy when she hits those notes.. Norwegians seem a little bit subdued lol. Great reaction. Thanks
Yeah! She’s something special, isn’t she? Pure Velvet Perfection! And then she throws those big belts at you and then again back to soft gentle perfection.♥👣👸🏻🎷
I think I actually prefer her delivery and performance confirm it's from 3 years ago at her in home studio... But she looks absolutely statuesquely fantastically - The bomb at this show I do believe she is singing it in a way which is more conducive for an outdoor performance though versus institute or intellis studio or intimate space
You should listen to her singing (I have nothing) when she was 12 years old, she really cut loose on that one. On that one remember that she is only 12 she even went higher with her notes on that rendition.
@@MrTombre yeah his response seemed like he hadn’t listened to the earlier one, she did sound more mature in this one, It was a bit more mellow and mature sounding, I liked it.

I knew she was a star from the beginning when she was 7 yers and winn Norway got talent! 💖
She is the gold standard.
Love to see a dude get this enthusiastic about her singing. Many American guys wouldn't admit thier emotion over this young ladies voice. I'm American and I can relate to Frank here.
She's not called young legend for nothing. Her fanbase grows steadily, cause once you heard her sing you gonna come back for more.

In addition to Angelina's fabulous voice ......charm, class, & charisma.
not enough is said about Angelina's humming.

From the very first word, there was so much feeling in Angelina's voice that I had tears in my eyes.

They are doing exactly whatever they want with the limitless respect, support and demand she has earned. The future is coming at their pace and it is fun to watch.
Mind blowing unique talent. Carving out her place in music history already.
Yes, the girl has a voice and she knows how to use it. A beautiful performance with great power. (comes great responsibility.)
Never before. And never again. A rare gift that we probably don’t deserve.
AJ = WH

Angelina sings this her own unique way,anyone not getting that needs to listen more carefully.Great reaction,thanks.
A 16-year-old sounding better than Whitney Houstin, better than anyone else in this universe.
"If this coming society is able to appreciate..." Yes, I get your subliminal meaning! And I agree!

AJ is 12 years! younger than when Whitney attempted this.
DIVINAAAA!!!💯💯❤️👏👏👏👏
True, Angelina has the abilities, the only thing missing is recognition.
…from the masses. She has been getting recognition from musicians and lovers of good music since she was half her current height.
I have a feeling that recognition will explode once she reaches adulthood, right now her family is wisely protecting her from the pitfalls of young fame. Meanwhile she is honing her craft, mastering her instrument, refining her sound so that when she is ‘unleashed’ on the masses, she will dominate the music scene, in my opinion.in the meantime she is getting ready to release her first album, let’s see what happens next

I don't know of any live performance by Whitney that even comes close to the quality of the studio version. One exception was at the 1993 Billboard Awards, but there were rumors that it was playback, but I don't think so. I would like Angelina to do a studio version, but Angelina doesn't have to prove herself, she already does it with every single song. 💯 *AJ* 💯
Albert, that is some great info. thank you
I absolutely agree!
And Albert. This morning Sunday 24th July 2022 - Your wish came true when Angelina premiered her amazing, incredible "Black & White" studio version. It's in her official channel - ❤❤
@@glenmorris135 Thank you, I was there and counted down. Yes, spectacular and after her last concert on July 10th when Angelina told why she sings this song and dedicated it to her grandma Mery Zamani, I understand this song completely differently. Before it was a beautiful song sung great, now it hits my heart every time. 🤗🤗
Yeah exactly that sir. And good for her she's earned it, her family has done wonders with her obviously and have earned it, and yeah 10k hrs was thousands of hours ago right. We can't all find our passion at 2, continue to love every minute of it from there, and get professional experience for 10 years already at only 16. And lucky us too to be here for it with an opportunity to catch up on her music and story, before she blows up with her own music. Something so wholesome, witnessing her journey.
I can't even find anything to worry about other random crazy people or events or something, not even republic records who seem to have bowed down and just offered their services as far as this industry goes, thus far, like anyone should. Not that they won't make some monies. She's human, probably, and a kid trying to grow up in our crazy world, we should be worried at this age but I don't know, just not. Just hope people are there for her when she needs them, and would imagine that's what they do and here she is right.
They are reading lyrics because it's a "sing-along arrangement". They got the texts of all the songs of all the artists in the show.
Amazing how awesome Angelina is live (y)
Thank you for your great reaction video.
Let us pause for a minute to appreciate what Angelina just did. Still feeling the effect of Jet lag on a cold and windy day, this was her second performance of the same song. This event was being recorded to be televised the following day. Due to some technical issues, she was asked to perform it again. Angelina the ultimate professional obliged with a phenomenal live performance that Outshines even the best studio performances of this song.
This was pure class, pure talent, pure beauty, pure magic, and simply pure Angelina.
This was her first performance with live audinse i 2.5 years her latest was agt champions.
I've been watching your reactions to Angelina for over a year now and I like your style and I believe that you have become an Angel. All of us fans appreciate that you support her like she deserves. Yes I believe that she will be a modern time superstar as well. She would already be at the top if she did the garbage type music we are getting now. She will be a superstar even if she doesn't do the mainstream garbage we get now. I couldn't help but notice the Cobra photo on your wall behind me. I'm sending you a photo of my car to enjoy. Keep up the good work.

It won't paste here so I'll find your email
Please tell me I'm not the only one to feel proud when I look at this?
I mean, not only of her, but somehow of our whole species. I know, there are humans who do some terrible things, some really terrible, terrible sh*t. But then, there are people who do THIS, you know? Thank God.
Incredible voice!Just awesome!🔝🔝
Fable, you are right, Angelina hits what she aims at. I saw a fan version of this and Angelina stood where she stands and performed this song twice in a row back to back (I believe this video is the second one). I don't know if she was not satisfied with the first or if there was some technical issue. Anyway, huge song, performed twice, live...just another day at the office for Angelina! Wow!
Awesome reaction and agree hole heatly, a True Iconic Legend, God Bless!
I feel theses are the type of songs she truly shines ✨✨✨
👍👍
In 24-48hrs she displayed what she can do with arguably the Three greatest vocalists that ever lived,, (Elvis,,Whitney,,Freddie) took arguably their biggest and toughest number one song and do what Angelina does best,, angel-ize them into one of her MASTERPIECES,,,🤯🤯🤯
👣🌬🌎
Hey Fable hi! Great job on all your reactions, your very entertaining and funny and honest . I agree with you also Angelina sings live with just her voice and she sounds way better than most singers with help and need enhancing. The the thing is there's no machine or tricks to heart, soul and feeling in a song like she does nobody . I love listening to her so much. I actually have to listen to her several times a day!! Thanks Angelina.
💖
💯
I think her earlier version of this was more of an impression (a great one) of Whitney, as she used to do with her covers of other artists. Now her confidence lets her make these classics her own.
AND she sang it Twice, back to back. firt time the wind blew her right side hair into her mouth and AJ insisted to sing it again after the hair was fixed with hairspray. This demanding song singing back to back TWICE. WOW WOW Elmar from Germany.
Fil she has up'ed her game a bunch in the last 6 months. I feel if they let her go now, I'm a 100% going for her career full-time, she is going to absolutely start setting the standards instead of just meeting them. Her whole bearing is regal, and yet in the middle of this giant of a song she notices and waves at probably a young fan who is going to go away from this concert going, "she waved at me!!!!"
Angelina has learned to 'cover' her high notes by giving the highest note a bit of her vibrato to finish off the note which gives the listener the feeling of her control whether she is or not. I really liked that. Compare the singing of how she finishes the highest note on AGT the Champions in 2020 and that same note for this performance in 2022. And see how much better the current ending makes you feel as opposed to the 2020 performance. Not that the 2020 performance was terrible but it does show growth in getting her voice to lay down nicely when she wants it to.
Thanks Fil for your reaction as usual full of useful insights and observations that make our hearing the music more full, more enjoyable.
In 2020, Angelina was vocally at the peak of an advanced level, not having the qualitative power of timbre. Now she is already in the middle of an outstanding level. That's a huge difference.
NO1 Reactor hit it on the head,16years old, 16 years old mind boggling
‘I cant even hummm’ 😂😂😂😂😂 Died a little there🤣
You have sensed the $64,000 question. Will society be ready for Angelina?
You are a really good reactor, amazing.
I heard from someone at the concert she did the song twice because something was wrong with the sound set up. Also that she has been declared a national treasure by her king and government.
This concert was in her home country of Norway
16! Unreal.
AJ has ascended from The Barefoot Princess to the throne of The Queen. Plain and simple THE QUEEN. And she's only fricken 16! The Queen of what? You ask. Jazz? Rock? Pop?
R&B? Soul? All of it. Angelina Jordan is the
QUEEN OF SONG.
The thing that kills me is that, with this song especially, if it’s not sung exactly like Whitney sang it, then it’s not being sung properly. People have to understand that Angelina doesn’t do karaoke and rearranges the songs to make them her own, as she has done here. She sings the song the way she thinks it should be sung, not because she can’t sing it like the original, but because of the way the music moves her, and usually she’s right! People are reading the lyrics on their phones instead of watching Angelina perform. What a missed opportunity!
16 years old!
Loved your reaction to this song.
MOST EXCELLANT!!!! can't tell you how much i enjoyed your reaction, brilliant.
Fredriksten fortress in Halden Norway close to the Sweden. Allsang på Grensen means Sing a long on the border directly translated =)
I think this version is in a lower key than the one she recorded at age 12 or 13.
Although I’m sure she has the range to go higher, I think the richness of her ever maturing voice made this later version more powerful in the slightly lower key.
I could be completely wrong about the key
I’d be grateful if someone with more musical knowledge than I, would confirm the exact key she sang the song on each occasion. Thanks!
Early fan recordings showed it two times back to back. I think they were filming for television. The site l believe is a fortress ruin on the border of Sweden and Norway. This particular celebration is an audience sing along that happens every year.
*I Have Nothing is a Whitney Houston song....how can you not that? LOL. She has done this song before actually....in another video already. Yes....she is stunning indeed in that dress. Blossoming into a beauty.*
I think the people she has around her is still protecting her because of her age so she hasn't really gone 'mainstream' yet, but just imagine how her popularity will explode when she turns 18 and the following couple years after that. She is 'Adele 2.0' in a waiting room right now.
The only versions of this song worth listening to are performed by Whitney, Sohyang, and now Angelina. If you compare AJ's earlier performance (at 13) of "I Have Nothing" with this performance, you'll immediately understand her growth in this genre. She is spectacular here, fully worthy to be compared to Whitney. And AJ is . . . 16 years old. Just mind blowing.
I was waiting for you knowledgeable comment on AJ performance on this song (knowing you admiration for Sohayng as well). Thanks
Jessie J.
@@SCHTRAM Well, I have to be frank. Jessie sings with GREAT technical ability, but she conveys only a fraction of AJ's sincerity and emotional engagement. Let's not get into the differences in vibrato, dynamics, phrasing, etc. -- but they all go AJ's way, IMHO.
Actually for me personally, I love her first performance of this song just as well. At that age , she blew my mind with that performance.
There was studio version when she was 13. It was great then.
Oslo Norway her house her family house to from short walk down the hill Yes here and Los Angeles he goes back-and-forth and now when she leaves here I understand she’s going to Japan for a concert pretty busy young lady and very popular gonna be a lot of big celebrities I love her
Allsang på Grensen translates to All Sing at the Border. Sheets with lyrics are provided. A Norwegian tradition.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Fil, yep, no such thing as a tough call for Angelina. The lady will tackle any song and stamp her own mark on it. There is no reason why a live performance can't match a studio recording (after all you're singing live in a vocal booth) provided that studio recording was done clean. In all my time as a studio and live sound engineer there were two ladies that stood out who found careers at session vocalist, because at that time looks mattered. (nowdays we have Susan Boyle who kicked the people who judge into place).
#QcumberSquad #AngelinaJordan #WitneyHuston - Fil, I'm off back to the study.
Fil, my comment under Harry' freestyle would not stick.
you made it 🤘 pair it up - emerging GOAT
BR🇧🇻
Wondering what the tough part is? She is without a doubt the best at least for me. The other versions may be a one or two times listen. Hers is on automatic replay.
Amazing Angelina - if this was performed in the US, the audience would be going crazy when she hits those notes.. Norwegians seem a little bit subdued lol. Great reaction. Thanks
Yeah! She’s something special, isn’t she? Pure Velvet Perfection! And then she throws those big belts at you and then again back to soft gentle perfection.♥👣👸🏻🎷
🔥❤️
a second one 🤩 lets go
Angelina delivered!
I think I actually prefer her delivery and performance confirm it's from 3 years ago at her in home studio... But she looks absolutely statuesquely fantastically - The bomb at this show
I do believe she is singing it in a way which is more conducive for an outdoor performance though versus institute or intellis studio or intimate space
You should listen to her singing (I have nothing) when she was 12 years old, she really cut loose on that one. On that one remember that she is only 12 she even went higher with her notes on that rendition.
He did that one, it was over a year ago so he might not remember he did it
@@MrTombre yeah his response seemed like he hadn’t listened to the earlier one, she did sound more mature in this one, It was a bit more mellow and mature sounding, I liked it.
