Guitar guy is in heaven every time he accompanies her.
This one is the best for me. The breathy way she sings sometimes and raw voices comes out of her😇
Yes!! This AND "A Million Years Ago", also with only Ivan Mendez on Guitar . Both similarly brilliant! And soul-touching. Just found you, Adam, and loved your reaction. So happy to hear so much analysis, instead of just "Wow" - although I understand why people can be speechless on hearing Angelina. I just subscribed!
I’m a grandmother and I cannot get enough of her beautiful singing and her many expressions. Whenever I need to be inspired and feel down, she just lifts my spirits. I absolutely love hearing and watching her perform. What a prodigy!
Wow! I literally feel the texture of her voice. Like anxiety, hanging on every word she sings.
And no matter how many times you hear her sing any of these songs, it never ceases to amaze you. Or at least it is that way with me.
She will amaze you with almost everything she has been singing out there. She adapt her voice to the song she sings, always in respect to the original artistAll of her "angels" have seen reactors become speechless or end up with just saying WOW, not just one time, but song after song. Next? Why not A million years ago, the link was at the end of this video.
Beautifully done Angelina.
Adam if you liked Stay trie At last an other stunner
There are so many "experts" out there, that have nothing to say about, what they react to. It is so enjoyable, that you have intelligent reactions, and reactions that shows deep knowledge of music and singers. Keep it up. I will follow you from now.
Angelina is amazing. I have never continued to listen to singers, for more than 2-3 weeks. Then I feel I have had enough of them, at least for a while. With Angelina it's different. I have seen her music here on youtube, for the last 6 months, and have seen a good deal of her videos, again and again and... One never gets enough of her voice. She never gets boring, and she has that ability to hit ones emotions, completely unfiltered. Even comparing her with much older world famous singers, she is right up there, with the very best. Amazing.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate that 😊
Angelina can draw so much more from a song, and show it you in a way you never imagined - but she did.
Angelina fans are highly motivated and one of our great pleasures is watching knowledgeable reactors discover her. Good job!
Adam, wow, wow, wow! That's what I call a great reaction! (And, I've heard a million of them!)
Some reactors have said that wearing head phones when listening to Angelina is absolutely another treasure. Do you agree? Adam, yes, after a couple of notes she captures the listener.
It is so extraordinary. She is truly one of a kind. A genius? It would be very hard to deny that fact.
Thank you so much Robert! I really do appreciate it :D Yes, earphones are the way forward! :)
Angelina is a jazz singer through and through. It doesn't matter what she's singing, her jazz roots shine through. Enjoy the ride, dude, you're gonna love it. Every note she sings is on purpose and deliberate.
Excellent reaction
Thank you
the guitarist is Ivan Mendez. He is pretty amazing also.
She did a cover of Always On My Mind as a tribute to her grandpa after he passed away. I have watched it a hundred times and it always brings me to tears. Her soul seems to sing to our souls. I love her covers so much! She has now written some of her own songs! I am in awe! Thank you for your reactions on the Angelina trail! : * )
Adam you are spot on...I also feel her timing is impeccable and you can tell that Ivan Mendes knows her well....if u enjoyed "Stay " u will absolutely love "A million years ago" also with Ivan...a stunning display of soulful, hauntingly beautiful vocals!!!
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Yes, Angelina was all of 12 years old here. I think it's pretty safe to say that you understand why so many of us Angelina fans love her. I'm looking forward to your next Angelina reaction already!
Her take of a Million Years ago will blow you away - again in this stripped down arrangement just with her guitarist - heartbreaking beautiful.
Your reaction videos of Angelina are superb. The insight you provide in your analysis is so thoughtful and professional. But I can tell that you've become fond of the treasure that is really not easy to define or describe. Thank you so much for staying with Angelina music.
A great reaction to her hypnotic voice that reaches deep into your soul.
i had a little chat with Ivan Mendez not long ago, i sent him a msg regarding a AJ reactor who had made some reactions to his own stuff, he is very humble as well and he said Angelina is one of the most talented musicians he has ever seen, note he didnt say singer but musician i think that says a lot about their work together =)
Oh wow that’s amazing!
Thanks for sharing that. I like Ivan. He and Angelina perform together so well.
Ivan calls her a musician? That is so telling.
I'd LOVE to know just what the insiders and headliners say about Angelina.
@@AdamStraughan i got the messages mixed up , he gave me a really nice msg back though but he replied this to another person:" Thanks so much!! I really enjoy playing music with Angelina. She's probably the best musician I've ever played music with".Ivan
@@brucecumming8803 i got the messages mixed up , he gave me a really nice msg back though but he replied this to another person:" Thanks so much!! I really enjoy playing music with Angelina. She's probably the best musician I've ever played music with".Ivan
Yes she's 12 here, and you'll see that mike a lot as you continue your Angelina journey. She got it as a gift at 12. The guitarist is Ivan Mendez who has accompanied Angelina in the U.S. for her acoustic performances, and her other long time guitarist Egil Claussen in Norway has been with he since age 6. In any case, Angelina turns her listeners into jelly immediately. She is my great stress reliever and can bring my levels down from 10-0 in a heartbeat. I think you experienced that in the first 5 seconds. "Stay" is one of her most popular performances, and always recommended for reactions. You mentioned "smokiness," so here's a description by a fan that really describes it. "She is dark chocolate, deep and aromatic with rich cherry's and swirling velvet smokiness." Thanks for another great Angelina reaction, and I will be looking forward to more.
Ivan Mendez is an especially attentive, sensitive, accompanying guitarist, you'll see that communication between them frequently, often it's just a glance from Angelina, but he's right with her. I retired to Spain in 2011 and have been to many small-venue, intimate, live performances. Not all accomplished guitarists accompany well. I've observed some very good guitarists who can't, or don't, accompany their singer worth a damn. Angelina is fortunate to have found Ivan, and it's obvious that he appreciates the talent that she possesses. It's a great pairing.
yes they are magic together.
Ivan is my favorite acoustic accompaniest for Angelina. They are always so perfectly suited to each other. Ivan provides a beautiful backdrop for Angelina without ever distracting one from Angelina's angelic vocals. When the song is over you think, "Oh my! Wasn't that guitarist just splendid." The next time you listen to the song your awareness of Ivan is subtly enhanced and you just know they should perform together whenever Angelina does something as soulful and emotional as this. Ivan is clearly as entranced by Angelina as her most ardent fans.
@@jeffreyjenkins1242 - Have enjoyed watching Ivan react to Angelina as she sings on multiple performances . . . . His expressions give away how amazing she is , yet he manages to stay on course flawlessly ! ! ! Amazing guitarist . ( enjoy your comments ! ) RH
Agree. Astounding. Stellar. Inimitable. Appreciate your reaction.
Fantastic reaction 🏆🏆 thanks 👏 Can't take my eyes off You next???🙂
Couple of months ago, I saw her video, " I put a spell on you", just out of curiosity. The rest is history!!
This is in my top 3 performances from her, prefer this to the original 💯👌👍
Stay is one of my favorites. It's hard to believe that a 12 year old could have so much maturity, not only in her tone, but in her choices of delivery. You mentioned her vibrato.... I have never heard any singer that is so "perfect" with vibrato. In my experience there are the singers that can't do vibrato, and then there are the singers that _can_ do vibrato (and then over-use it in everything they do). Angelina can lay in some of the most beautifully subtle vibrato... sometimes so subtle it almost imperceptible. Other times it is right in your face (see Summertime at NGT). Angelina has such control with every tool in her arsenal. I'm glad you did this one, and got to hear yet another facet to her voice. You still have many, many more to hear!
Rusty Shackleford Do you mind if I post your tracklist Rusty? I thought it polite to ask as you've commented here..
@@kevingood4644 Not at all.... but I did post the chronological list on his last Angelina reaction. I'm not sure if you are talking about the chronological list or the "every song" playlist. I usually only share the chronological list with reaction channels because it has been curated down to just "reaction worthy" videos. (Obviously everything she does is 'worthy', but the every song playlist does have several that are only a few seconds long and/or not the 'best' version of the song.) There are some cases where a video in the "every song" playlist was selected because it had the song title, but not necessarily the best overall version of it.....
"Live Through the Years" (Chronological, best versions selected): ruclips.net/p/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO
"Every Song" (131 songs no title repeated): ruclips.net/p/PL2v8kgVeo4EbQD6l_WAVjOfItquzW7oEc
Rusty Shackleford Thx Rusty..I'm not sure which one I posted but I did take the liberty lol ..take care..
Reading the lyrics yet delivering... what a pro...
Yep you're hooked like the rest of us..😄
Thank you for the great reaction! Much appreciated.
Thank you for another great Angelina reaction. One of the many things I love about Angelina and Aurora is that they do not belt and do vocal gymnastics in every song, even though they both can do so very comfortable if they want, instead they use it sparingly and goes for the heart of the lyrics rather then a big musical show and makes us feel the song. A little tip, on these old acoustic videos, wait to pause it and see it all the way to the end, when she sings the child disrepair, but she turns into the child again in the last few seconds. I suggest her covers of You make me feel so young, All of Me (Billie Holiday Cover), Moon River and The Show Must Go.
SHE'S SO SPECIAL
She can sing the phone book and put a spell on you at the same time😁
Man,great reaction,don't stop.
Her vibrato is like a touch of icing on a cake; too much and its just sugar overload and spoils the experience!
Lol yeah .....
She knows how to work with her musicians just as Elvis Presley did, but she is instinctively able to do it at such an insanely young age. Also, her vibrato reminds me so much of Elvis Presley's naturally-born vibrato as well. Is Norway actually another planet?
@@kenchawkin4379 No wonder why she´s known as "the Boss" around the musicians she workes with
Adam, thank you again for a lovely reaction to Angelina, you gave me a new appreciation for this cover with your insights into her performance. Keep up the good work!
I have to say most of A.J covers are far more enjoyable than the originals
your 4th reaction maybe cover of Ella Fitzgeralds time we say good bye ,,,,,,, your reactions start to be more deep and soulful as you experience Angelina more and more and i hope that one day you will forget her as just a singer but something more which is very difficult to describe and is very individual ,,,,,,,,any how thank you for reaction and till next,,,,,,
thats your fav , well sir just wait you will have many many favs again and again till you decide that most are your favs
Thanks for the new beautiful and exhaustive reaction, Adam, this is one of the most exciting covers of Angelina, I sincerely believe that this version is better than the Rihanna version, they are both very beautiful, but surely that of Angelina, without mixing, recorded at home, with the simple guitar of Ivan Mendez to accompany it with much discretion (as always), it is an incredible emotional interpretation, especially considering that it is a 12 year old girl who sings it with a sweet and scratched voice, absolutely unique and without particular games vowels.😊 ❤️ 😊 Angelina has a natural ability to impart the depth of warmth to her interpretations, regardless of previous interpreters.
Great reaction to this outstanding cover by Angelina! I will definitely be waiting your next reaction to her 😉
Another brilliant reaction, thanks so much for sharing! I hope you got the patience to do loads more from her. Its clear you got a good ear for music, and I would love for you to hear and experience all of her genius. Not all her performances is as stunning as this one, but you will find something special in almost all of them. Her emotions, her runs, her notes, her interpretation, her control, her storytelling, etc. There is always something special that will captivate and impress. Thanks again and see you in the next one :)
I love your reactions and professional comments! :-D
Adam, you are in for a treat when you delve into Angelina's playlist. A song with similar emotionality is her cover of A Million Years Ago. Eventually you will want to explore her earlier works in an attempt to fathom how she can be so accomplished at s7ch a young age. Enjoy the quality of your reaction and look forward for future Angelina reactions.
Another reactor said that if you are an artist with a hit tune and Angelina decides to cover it, you better look out because she might just do it better than you did. I think that's true. No matter what it is, she makes it her own and she kills it. She puts another perspective on the song and she makes you think. She applies emotion to the song and gives it meaning. Ivan Mendez is the guitarist and he does a LOT of her US made covers. She has another guy she uses a lot when in Norway. I forget his name but you'll see him in many of her videos.
egil clausen
I've only seen ONE cover in which I didn't think she clearly out did the original singer and that was Patsy Cline's "Crazy"
Wicked game
Must use this link to the best audio/video experience: _Wicked Games_ (Chris Isaak cover) - ruclips.net/video/5IAMF4FDfw4/видео.html fan-made video. Absolutely gorgeous. This is the best video out there for Angelina's Wicked Game.
@@lilsun724 agree. This is definitely the video to use.
Also one of my favorites. And you will get to hear her sing and accompany herself with the piano
First you go in the debt with Auroras music. Now Angelina. Thank you Adam!
Thank u Adam for another awesome reaction 🙏🙏👍👍💙💙u have seen nothing from her yet there are still so many songs from her left for u but my suggestion for u are
a million years ago California dreaming I am still holding out for u man's world I will survive and 3 songs which she sang in agt and of course show must go on much love from germany
I so agree! She's so talented but a big part of it is her control and her way of interpreting the songs - she never falls into the trap of overly belting or overly vibrato even though she can belt too. Some artists seem to feel that they have to overdo it like "look, I can do this, lok, it's loud!" Loud has it's place but Angelina knopws exactly when to use her voice in a certain way - and she infuses everything with so much soul and it makes her utterly hypnotic.
Angelina is not about high and low notes. It is her interpretation of the emotion in each song. She stirs emotions in her audience, The other young singers aren't in the same league as our angel.
[
Most of them are "Belters" Angelina is more like Country legend Jim Reeves, slow, soft, tender, heartfelt emotion in her voice.
Yes, I could tell you were being won over after your first couple reviews, but this threw you over the edge. And it will continue as you listen to more. You will hear her do other styles beautifully, but acoustic Angelina is stunning. She doesn’t perform-she lives the lyrics and she’s singing to you. So often, Angelina just sings it better, more sincerely than the original artist. She is the best interpreter of lyrics I’ve heard. If you’re ready to hear another amazing acoustic gem, Angelina’s version of “A Million Years Ago” just buries Adele’s version, in my opinion. And it’s like this one-no studio, no mixing. Just Angelina, a mic, and a perfect guitar backing.
But, I understand you appreciate the art of singing, so my recommendation for your next review is “I’m Still Holding out for You”. It’s a completely different, haunting style that you’ve not heard. It’s soulful Angelina full throttle, even though she recorded it when she was 10 years old. It’s one of the best songs I’ve heard-with a wrenching, emotional finish that no ten year old should be able to lead us through, but she just kills it.
One warning: after you react as you did today, don’t say “this is my favorite Angelina song” because...well, you know why now.
Your reactions to Angelina are really great. I can see and hear you really love music and you can worship good performances. There are still so many songs you can discover and I am keen to follow you on this road. When you react to her performances on Norway got talent, please make sure to react to thr onres with subtitles and warch until the end. The judges comments are worth to watch.
She does sing in different ways, but if you like this look out for the songs with Ivan Mendez in the thumbnail. They are fantastic, because they have that relationship. I would like to point out something that might surprise, this has not been heavily rehearsed. If you watch carefully she checks the words more than once and I think she’s scrolling it on her phone.
Jazz club, smokey voice. Perfect reaction for Angelina's arrangement. You are excellent reactor. Thanks
Hi there! Thanks for your great react to Angelina Jordan, with so valuable comments about A.J.'s evolution. I admire her constant work in what is her dream since she was 1.5 y.o.
You are about to start an amazing musical journey which is kind of privilege following a star from her early beginnings till now, and counting 😊.
However the most important in Angelina, further than her amazing musical skills, is her enormous quality as human being. We could say that God was not wrong when blessed Angelina with her skills as musician , so He gifted her with the best a human can be. You will love her.
See you in next reacts. Stay safe and healthy.
Peace & Hugs from Barcelona - Spain.
Angelina has been singing since she was 3,4,5 and competing since about 7 or 8. I can't wait until she's in her 20s. She's gonna take the world by storm.
What i find weird .. is that most of the covers done by her, i notice the lyrics like i didnt do before.
Like this song .. now its 10x sadder
I love when she sing Yellow brick road, its probably on your list :)
this is my favorite cover she does. all o them with Ivan on guitar are great, as most everything else she does is as well. lol
Happy to see you are following the Angelina track! 🥰 I have so many favs by her. It’s so difficult to choose just one or two videos of hers. I will just “sit steady in the boat” ( Norwegian saying) and watch you go down the rabbit hole. It will be entertaining and amusing! 😏❤️
Really enjoyable reaction, well spoken, brilliant analysis, great ability to catch so many things on a first listen. I have lost my count watching this breathtaking performance and not for a second Angelina ceases to amaze me. She takes us with her to see the beauty that exists beyond our comprehension. Stunning!
I truly believe it’s time for you to react to “A Song for A”. This will give you her pure voice without any inflections or influences. It will show how incredible and complete she is as an artist. Again I wish to compliment you on your understanding of her voice and abilities your acumen is outstanding and needed. There are many more Angelina’s within her as you will find.
I might add that Angelina started taking control of the arrangements at age seven, by nine it is my understanding that the musicians affectionately call her The Boss
another one of my favs and its not just because i live in south ayrshire and grow up with rabbie burns everything ,its her voice AMAZING , you have said most i was thinking :)
her pure voice? this is as pure as it gets. an acoustic guitar and her voice.
I heard this for the first time, last week. I know it is a poem from the 1700's, put to music and Angelina sang the feelings so well but it didn't envelope me like everything else Angelina does.
It may have been because it was something totally different or because it was so new even though the words are so old.
I'm not sure I would characterize her voice in "Song for A" as being "without any inflections or influences". I think they're there, they're just atyipcal for her, that's all.
AMEN to the vibrato part. I so agree with you. To much of of it is ruining songs. But Angelina does it so right, with depth and warmth.
Angelina's natural voice + Ivan mendez guitar = Overwhelming // just 2 or 3 seconds into the song is more than enough to capture any viewer's attention and stay to the end, making you hold off on anything you're doing at that moment = Angelina effect.
also her cover of the show must go on by Queen is a master class of how to cover Freddie
"I mean Wow!"..yep! The variations will continue. You will find new favorites and then realize your past faves haven't diminished. Favorite becomes an inadequate word when you like so many. She does this song with so much more emotion than Rihanna. You truly feel this. It goes right through you. She does better than Adele on A Million Years Ago, better than Lana del Rey on Born to Die... Her originals are exceptional as well. Haha. As I was writing this more and more songs came to mind. Rusty's list is useful. There are some suggestions below. Any works for me. Glad you're on this journey. I like what you have to say. Enjoy!
yep
just another masterpiece from Angel Angelina....
A lot of reactors are rendered speechless by AJ's wonderful interpretations, but you're not one of those. Your attentive analysis speaks loudly that you're a music fan, and I'm happy to see you becoming a big fan of AJ :) Keep the great reactions coming!
@Bill Weekley already syggested "Song for A" as a next, an excellent suggestion!
More I listen to Angelina Jordan I love her talent more and more. She is so magical with her voice!! I am looking forward to buy all of her music!!!
You nailed it. Angelina makes everything look easy.
Be ready to keep listening different voices coming from Angelina.
On Back to Black she kind of sounds like Amy.
On Born to Die she improves Lana's version and is a masterpiece.
The guitarist is Yvan Mendez. Is her 2nd guitarist. To me Yvan's job is to follow her, what he does perfectly.
Please react to:
BACK TO BLACK (Amy Winehouse, 10 years old) ruclips.net/video/LbXUKzOxACU/видео.html
BORN TO DIE (Lana del Rey, 12 years old) ruclips.net/video/DNU-HcLuO_I/видео.html
Two great examples.

Could I please ask for 'California Dreamin ' ? - very underrated cover from Angelina, my favourite. And yes, she is a genius, and probably not just musically....
Oh I would love to see a reaction to “wicked game” it’s chilling.
link to the best audio/video experience of Angelina's Wicked Game cover. _Wicked Games_ (Chris Isaak cover) - ruclips.net/video/5IAMF4FDfw4/видео.html fan-made video. Absolutely gorgeous. This is the best video out there for Angelina's Wicked Game.
She seems to have a pure sound, because I am not a fan of so many people they compare her to, she is my first introduction to so many songs, and I don't see how it could be sung better
Angelina is a magician with her control and voice. God given talent, showing why she is my favorite singer. I have a top 90 list and this one easily qualifies. Thumbs up Adam. Your reaction is why I subscribed a while back.
You are right on with your analysis. Angelina's genius in her singing is her ability to adjust her tone and style to match the intent and meaning of the song. She has earned the nickname among her fans of "Girl of 1000 voices", because of her ability to sound completely different depending on the song she is singing. Whenever she adds ornamentation to a song it is only when the story of the music requires it. I have never heard her add anything extraneous to a song just for the purpose of adding it. if belting is required, she will belt, but only if it furthers the intent and meaning of the song. If a run, or a sustained note, or a whisper are required, she will use those elements. The more of her music you hear, the more you will recognize this about her. With regard to the guitarist, his name is Ivan Mendez. He is an accomplished musician and singer in his own right and he is her preferred accompanist when she is in LA. His social media persona is "Ivan Lives" and you can see some of his own work here - ruclips.net/channel/UCbzvZo4L40llG5ui6Gt41gg.
If you want to hear even more variations in Angelina's tone and vocal approach to songs, I highly recommend the following selections:
"Cry me a River" - 11 years old - ruclips.net/video/jV8HIVL2VDE/видео.html
- Outdoor concert with a jazz band. Very sultry and smooth jazz club vibe.
"This is a Man's World" - 12 years old - ruclips.net/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/видео.html - Outdoor concert with the Norwegian Military band. James Brown R&B sound with belting and running - sustains an E6 and runs down an octave from there in full chest voice.
"Shield" - 12 years old - original song - ruclips.net/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/видео.html - Live Television performance of her 3rd original. James Bond theme meets smooth Jazz song.
"A Song for A" - 12 years old - ruclips.net/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/видео.html - Original composition by Nico Cartosio, written specifically for her to sing and be included as the only vocal selection on his instrumental album - Tremendous classical and poetic song. Unbelievable classical delivery
"Above the Water" - 13 years old - ruclips.net/video/y6SilwnR2Zc/видео.html - Dance music video - Full on Electronic Dance Music - Angelina was specifically invited to sing this original song by the writers
"What is Life" - 11 years old - ruclips.net/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/видео.html - First original song - Acoustical version, just her and a pianist. Awesome light jazz feel.
"A million years ago" - 12 years old - ruclips.net/video/QHLtZQ3sIwE/видео.html - Acoustic Adele cover - shows off her low tones. hits her low of C#3 in this one.
Phil, great recommendations for someone to get an idea of her versatility & the brief descriptions you include should be helpful to reactors.
you can tell she's listened to lots of old school jazz just by the spacing and delivery of the phrasing
Great reaction with valuable insights. I recommend Shield or The Show Must Go On for your next reaction. Keep ‘em coming!
You're reactions are very deep. I appreciate the clarity you provide. It's very hard to come up with different adjectives to describe her. Ivan is my favorite musician who accompanies her. Watch her sing with Alan Walker. Thank you!
Angelina Jordan comes home after school at 12 years old, calls a befriended guitarplayer, sits on a chair and performances a song in way most adult professional singers would kill for, at 12 years young.
Yes, she's genius.
Thanks for your reaction. This is also one of my top favorites. If you listen 100 times to this performance you hear 100 new facets of Angelina's voice that you've never heard before.
Great reaction and analysis. Dang, now I want to hear Angelina cover Dusty Springfield, perhaps one day!
Angelina has released three originals, Shield, What is Life, and Oslo. All are excellent and amazing works for such a young artist.
Currently Angelina is in Los Angeles 'in quarantine' and writing more original songs . . . I can't wait to hear what she comes up with.
If you like her voice in this video then listen to her sing Lana Del Rey’s, “Born to Die”.
Love Angelina's version of Born To Die. I agree, that Adam should react to it also. ruclips.net/video/DNU-HcLuO_I/видео.html
@@heidicross6878 Certainly one of the best covers by AJ. And for my money, no one can cover a Lana Del Rey song like she can. And "Born to Die" is in my top 10 Angelina performances. Hope you will react to it, Adam.
i also agree that "born to die" is a great cover
YES. "BORN" & "STILL HOLDING OUT..." INSANE GENIOUS.⭐😮
With Angelina, every note, every phrase, and every sound is a masterful work of art.
Wow is right. The quality is simply flawless and fascinating. The fact that she has dozens of songs at this caliber is even more baffling. Then add that she is about the most adorable human ever............????
What is one to think but she is the GOAT, period.
Why hasn’t anybody mention the fact that she is actually reading the music? How can she sing with such feeling and still keep track of the Music she’s reading? WOW!!!
Talent apparently knows no bounds! Go Angelina!!!!
Simple. A vocal artist and a talented guitarist. Added together, you have this performance that draws out words like “gorgeous” and “wow”.
Excellent reaction. Very much the Angelina fan here.If you want to be completely floored try her cover of it's a man world and I'm still holding out for you. Guaranteed, you'll shake your head in amazement. You got a new subscriber here.
_It’s a Man’s World_ ruclips.net/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/видео.html (Live)
"I'm still holding out for you" would have put her on the charts at only 12 years old. That's why she is already a legend
Welcome to the club bra !! She is an absolute virtuoso!! I really think she is a gift to the world. Effortless natural talent
Loved your reaction. You mentioned something I’ve only heard one other reactor say, that the beauty was in the simplicity. Another reactor has commented on her vibrato. I think they called it a period or backwards vibrato. One used in an era a while ago. Her guitarist is Ivan Mendez. A very talented musician and singer in his own right. His RUclips channel is Ivanlives.
She makes you want to " stay " ........So beautiful:-)))
Glorious reaction to our earth singing Angel. Angelina is a perfecter of song , she is so good she just knows naturally what to do with a song as easy as if she is just talking to us, no effort what so ever on her part. Cheers until the next one..
Angelina is a very multi faceted person. Her intuition and keen sensitivities are second to none. She instinctively knows what works best for her as her voice matures. The fact that she is the youngest native Norwegian to have published a song speaks to how advanced her intellect is. She has written and published three songs by the time she was twelve. I don’t know of another child singer/musician that is Angelina’s intellectual equal. We are witnessing more than a child prodigy. We are witnessing a musical genius whom is fast becoming a living legend.
Thank you, Adam, for your detailed and right-on commentary. Much of what I would say is already covered by comments, but to me this cover is one of her 5 best; I could listen to it a million times. Yes, she is 12 years old and already a real professional with all the traits. And, she is reading the lyrics off her iPad while singing, and it does not interrupt her at all. She does that a lot. Besides that beautiful, unusual and capable voice, she is the ultimate story-teller. Angie is speaking directly to you, as you kind of mentioned, telling you her feelings. Her arm movements and other non-verbal acts speak volumes too. I am a big fan as you have already guessed.
Next. Bohemian Rhapsody. I'm dying to hear your comments on that one. 👍
John Salmon It is indeed a masterpiece! But it is nice to understand where that mastery comes from. She started out copying her idols, which happened to be greatest jazz vocalists, and acquired a toolkit and a musical understanding way beyond most singers. Then she started to change songs in her own style, often improving on the originals. «Bohemian Rhapsody» shows us a little of what the future may hold... But I also find the road that brought her there fascinating.
Ya, I think you used the right term, "genius". She's pleasing to listen to, tasteful, and nuanced, as you pointed out. I thought your point about the communication was right on the money, and you can tell the guitarist is stoked to be playing with this gifted talent at the threshold of her adult career--she's still a kid, for crying out loud. It's cool to see others react to fresh music and performers. You might like her rendition of "You Are Always on My Mind", which features the same duet, sans microphone, so it's even more raw.
This one is in the 10 best of hers in my book and I can’t hear it too much. I love this child genius.
Bellísima voz e interpretación
Very astute and well stated. You have quickly wended your way to her essence that the legion of fans respond to. I Put a Spell on You and AGT Bohemian Rhapsody are the common gateway drugs. At 9 she is untethered displaying what a singular prodigal talent she is. At 13 she cleverly constructs a sublime AGT performance chock full of runs and the obligatory high note tailored to woo in mere minutes the home audience and judges with transcendental result. Now that you have a glimpse of what she can do select your next reactions based on what strikes your mood. Anything with a guitarist with her in the thumbnail is wonderful. The heartfelt Always on My Mind, stripped bare Wicked Game, EDM track TRXD Above the Water or Whitney’s I Have Nothing just because at 12 she felt like belting out one of the most difficult of songs are just a snapshot of her range.
Wonderful reaction! Your enthusiasm thruout her performance was really enjoyable. I really am looking forward to your future reactions of Angelina’s musical choices. I have not been a fan of hers for a long time...under a year. During that time however I have come to know a singer that no words can adequately describe and that pretty much no genre can overwhelm her.
We always say “singing a song”. Angelina never just “sings” a song..she gives them a new life in many cases. Angelina sings songs form several decades ago that most people don’t really even know but she finds them and she brings them back to life, beautifully. Why she even looks at songs from the 40’s ,50’s, 60’s..70’s, I don’t know but she does and they are really beautiful...more like ballads. Back then some female singers that sang in nightclubs and mainly sang ballads...love songs, singers that could bring you to tears even, were called “torch singers.” I think of Angelina that way at times. I think that some old soul from a torch singer captured Angelina’s heart and soul. And as others say, what Angelina can do with her voice in a song..any song in any genre is like what Da Vinci could do with any subject, paintbrush, canvas and paint.
There will be many surprises on your journey with Angelina and all of them will amaze you and nourish your soul.
I don't know the original so can't really comment that much, except to say that if you like her voice on this song you will love her versions of A Million Years Ago and Someone Like You.
Great reaction again, Adam. I suggested in an earlier comment that you should try out this song. Stay is a song of emotions, but there is another song you should react to: Every time we say goodbye, performed when she was 10. Another emotional song, unbelievable at this age!
If you really like to hear a version of a well-known song done in a way nobody has done it before that will blow your sox off it is Angelina singing Bohemian Rhapsody. You have a 13-year old that on a big TV show decides to redo the arrangement of one of the most well-known songs of the past 50 years that is held up of the best in a generation by many. And she pulls it off.
