I agree, she is so beautiful as a whole and everything she sings makes us feel. Thank you for posting these videos, I enjoy watching/listening to your heart view.
How do I find words to express how much I love her version of this song? I'm not even going to try. Thank you Angelina. You should be very proud of this gorgeous version of an iconic song. ❤
... geez .. she takes you thru the picture lyrics of the song ... word ... by word... I instantly see and hear breaking blue ocean waves ... squawking seagulls.. childhood memories 💯❤💯 Angelina has a divine calling.
Your remarks are on-point my friend. Aside from Angelina just being a remarkable person, artist, ect. This rendition demonstrates how much artistry she has while remaining respectful to the original. My God protect this gem of a human.
I love Angelina and I love you Mr. Boyd. Both of you are addicting. I only watch your channel now and other singers pale before Angelina. Don’t stop, please.
hi, love your wise remarks and reactions,,,,,,Angelina is redefining covers and give them new or current meaning ,,,,,,,,and society these days need meaning,,,,,,,Angelina a humble teacher,,,,
She is Crazy good at reinterpretation of a songs meaning through the myriad of her vocal talents to the point that it causes an almost Visceral reaction, goose bumps etc....
Angelina your'e amazing! I was listening so intently and watching the video and noticed her Donald duck top and thought my god she so young and has so much soul and control. Big things need to come Angelina's way such a talent and beautiful voice!
I would love to see this from the RR studio. Angelina magic for sure. I thought you might like her interpretation of California dreaming. What ever you go to next hope to see you soon. But Million miles and All I ask Are an experience that rock me to my core. Good night stay safe.
I was a young adult in the 60's, and this was one of my favorite songs. Therefore, I was skeptical about any changes to the original. Then I heard this and was just blown away. This was my favorite Angelina performance until I heard "All I Ask". Michelle Phillips, the only surviving member or the M & P's, and the co-writer of this song, raved about Angelina's version. She liked it so much that she posted it on the M & P's Instagram site. Not only does this showcase Angelina's beautiful voice, it also showcases her songwriting talent. She takes a classic pop song and transforms into a brand new song; for me, better than the original. That in itself is a remarkable feat. But when you consider that she is 12 years old, it boggles the mind. Another great reaction! 💕
A California medic soldier who was stationed in Iraq, told me about the time she and her companions heard this song for the first time. In her words “Although I heard the original hundreds of times, this one pierced my heart like a bullet. There were no dry eyes in the room” Mission accomplished Angelina. Thank you for another wonderful reaction and keep up the good work.
Nice reaction😊 She's really beautiful and a soulful artist.. Hi there... Have u heard about the TNTboys... Pls check their single Together We Fly live @>The Wish Bus USA... Also performance in the Worlds Best and 4 franchise of Little Big Shots... Also Please check and react to TNTboys Mackie Empuerto's upbeat rendition of John Legend's ALL OF ME... uploaded in Mackie United You Tube channel..thanks and God 🙏 bless
The guitar player, Ivan Mendez, said that each time he was invited to work with Angelina they would spend the day together with her family at her house. After socializing all day, in the evening they would go into the music room, chat about songs and then she would pick one or two. Often neither of them knew the song at all. Ivan said he can clearly see his errors during the playing, trying to learn a song real time, and always in awe of Angelina. So she's not just reading the lyrics, she's singing something for the first time while hanging out after dinner with the fam and friends. A reactor named Alan Papier has excellent personal interviews with both Ivan (California guitarist) and Egil (Norwegian guitarist) on his channel.
That's why it always feels new in these sessions. In the "a million years ago" cover you can even see her reading the lyrics... Link here, Angelina cover og "A million years ago" by Adele: ruclips.net/video/QHLtZQ3sIwE/видео.html _ED_
It is nice to watch how much he feels the music and her singing. The last time they worked together was in 2019. She was 13 and he was in his twenties.
When Angelina covers a song it has been perfected. All these past songs have been just waiting for this Angel to come to earth to perfect them . thanks for another one MrLboyd!!
Angelina Jordan is my new favorite singer. She brings the blues and jazz into pop songs and they sound ten times better. I have been to hundreds of concerts, and I would love to be at one of hers. BTW I am 77 and still love music, in fact I can't get by the day without music. I would love to hear her sing Stand By Me. Ted
She has this amazing way of turning great songs into a movie in the minds of listeners,she conceptualize and rearrange the songs and has the vocals to deliver.look what she did with Elvis suspicious minds,she brought true meaning to the lyrics in a way Elvis was not able to do.
Phenomenal ! And the amazing guitarrist Ivan Mendez ! In an interview he mentioned that there were never rehearsals . He played, she sang and then suddenly there was a song she wanted to sing. 🥰🥰 what a talent!
I find it amazing that a 55 year old iconic song can be made into a fantastic new song in the present day by a 13-14 year old girl wearing a Donald Duck sweatshirt.
I was chewing a piece of donut and almost got choked with laughter when I read your great comment! Especially the Donald Duck sweatshirt! She was actually 12 here, but great and funny comment nevertheless!
From your first reaction of an Angelina song I’ve been a subscriber. Your delight in her music seems to be intensifying. That’s my experience as well because there are so many facets to her voice and her arrangements that there always seems to be something new and intriguing.
Each time you open a video to listen to Angelina, you'll never know what you'll get. This is a very intelligent and sensitive re-imagining of an iconic song.
This is absolutely one of my favourite covers from Angelina. Great reaction Mr Boyd, and funnily I completely agree with you, and everything you said. Here is my take on this: This is an iconic song that everyone knows, and it is being played on the radio for over 50 years. Hall of fame song as well, so without doubt a great original. Now here is the thing - probably everyone who likes the original would say that it conveys some happy feelings, West coast style, sunshine and freedom. However - this song was written in New York (I think), and the lyrics are clearly dark; the words "grey sky", "cold" and "the cold, like the priest, is gonna stay" all make it clear that someone is freezing, maybe even feel depressed, a bit lost in the cold winter, longing for the "summer" or even longing for "a better and happier life" in general. The Mamas & Papas did not convey those dark emotions though, but Angelina does. She has the ability to do that simply by slowing down the tempo and the tone and breathiness of her voice. She basically can sing every single word so clear and slow, that you feel every word. When I first heard this rendition, it was winter here in the North of England, the skies were grey, the days dark, the people certainly less happy, so her rendition resonated with me very much. Finally, I cannot listen to original anymore - this song is now Angelina's version in my musical memory. For a young girl quite an achievement.
Enjoyed this rendition of this song, whereas I never previously cared for it. Angelina makes songs speak their message clearer with such emotion. She is a gift!! Beautiful. Your reaction was priceless!, God Loves you! 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Quite simply put Angelina takes a song and makes it better every time I'm sure there are a lot of artists that would like to get voice lessons from her
I saw this on Angelina's playlist and I passed by it because I remembered the original song and I didn't really feel that interested. Now that I've listened to it I feel you are exactly right and it makes me want to go back and find it and copy it on my playlist.
Angelina's smooth Jazzy voice brings a whole new light to this song. It's amazing that this 12 year old kid with a a Donald Duck shirt on, is by far the best singer I have ever heard, Period. BTW, I'm 71.
I love this version as well. At some point, as she gets older, I can fully integrate the prodigious talent, with the artistry and the work. But I don't think I will ever fully comprehend a young girl, in her room, with just an acoustic guitar as accompaniment creating music at the level, or better, of older, accomplished musicians, in bands, and full studios. Many of these singers themselves were prodigies. After years of watching and listening to her, it still boggles my mind.
Angelina can take any song and somehow make you feel like she is the one that wrote it. She pours so much of her own soul and style into it that she is able to bring a deeper appreciation to the lyrics she sings. I also have to point out that this cover was posted on The Mamas and The Pappas Instagram. A pretty big accomplishment for just a 12 year old recording at home. When we told you she was going to impress you with everything you hear from her, we weren't exaggerating ;)
Rusty, I hardly ever see any more comments about her "Mona Lisa smile." Which is a good thing, in my opinion, because I've always thought Mona Lisa was a little homely looking. :-) And Angelina has grown from a cute little darling into a stunningly beautiful young lady (sorry 'bout that, Mona!). But I do know one thing, and that is -- she is the Leonardo da Vinci genius of vocal artistry, in a league all her own!
@@johnbattles1002 most definitely, Ms Angelina is becoming a very beautifull young lady, but her voice, OMG, it just seems that whatever this young lady sings just draws you in. The tone, clarity, the feelings she naturally puts in every performance, Amazing, Amazing, Amazing individual!!!
I have said many times that Angelina has killed songs for anyone else: Stay, A Million Years Ago, and just recently All I Ask, but I don’t think that’s the case here. Angelina’s innate musicality and that incredible voice turns California Dreamin into a gorgeous, plaintive memory that she handles vocally better than anyone. But this, to me, is like Bohemian Rhapsody. Angelina re-interprets the song so completely that any comparison with the iconic original is impossible. Since the 60’s was my music, I really love the unique sound that exploded from the Mamas and the Papas-so beautifully showcased in this song. I think Angelina gives this a separate musical life that I love in a completely different way. Her Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the best musical performances I’ve ever heard, but she doesn’t kill Freddy Mercury’s version. She gives us a take that reinvents a masterpiece. What’s so incredible is that Angelina has already done this across many genres, and her musical life has just begun. She is my favorite singer of all time, and no one is close.
Un coro di voci,una sola cantante.Angelina appartiene al.patrimonio artistico del mondo.12anni e cantare in questo modo,significa sfidare le leggi della fisica.Sembra predestinata ad un futuro luminoso.Go Angelina.
I have never seen anyone to start out perfect on point every time. Alan Papier did two interviews one Ivan Mendez the guitarist in this one and one with Egil Clausen guitarist in titanium and both said most times with Angelina there where only 1 take and never rehearsed them. There are words for our barefoot princess cant get enough. Great reaction keep them coming. Be safe!
Your expression is priceless!!! This is actually one of my favorite songs from her...so melodic and the guitar work.comes in ge tle but strong. Love when Ivan Mendez is her cohort!!!
Pushing 70. Always loved the song & group. AJ’s interpretation is GENIUS. No need to compare the 2 renderings. You’re better than that! Be well, babe. 1/‘24
I’m a loyal Angelina fan, but the original song was a happy carefree version with joyful singing, which holds a special place in my teenage years in the 60’s. That said, Angelina’s version is absolutely amazing, just like a different song.
Helen, I’m a similar age to you. I know exactly what you mean. I recommend you to look up Queen Latifah’s version of California Dreamin’. I wonder if Angelina heard it too and realised that this song could be good for to be creative with. Both ladies are great with jazz too. This other version is arranged as a Bolero and I first found it via a young Brazilian couple on RUclips who were dancing to it. It’s so different from her RnB style and I prefer her voice in this genre. Just key in “Brazil Central 2010 Bolero Lidia Freitas and Monique Marculano” to watch some poetry in motion. (I used to dance this style but not as well as these two...) For just the song, key in Queen Latifah - California Dreamin’. If you like it, please check out her version of Lush Life (and more on YT). For me she’s better with non-RnB songs.
this magic was produced by a little 12 year old girl wearing a ducky shirt. Again I enjoy you dishing out nuggets of interesting information. Like a trip down memory lane for me. May I also suggest Angelina's singing Mary's Boy Child. Number one x-mas song.
Oh yes! Mary´s boy child is amazing. It is an ex tempore recording while she was visiting and intervjued by the Norwegian radio. Incredible performance. ruclips.net/video/38igakHk9_I/видео.html
True - dreaming of escape to lamenting the loss of a dream. It seems as if she ignores the original song, reads the lyrics, finds her own emotion from them and turns it into music. I have to wonder if she is even conscious of what she is doing. Genius.
This is truly a remarkable rendition of this song and Angelena put her own twist on it and made it sound better than the original. There is no end to this girl’s talent and I don’t think we’ll ever see another vocalist is brilliant as Angelina. Her versatility is out of this world. Thank you for your great reaction.
Growing up in the sixties, this Mamas and Papas song is a part of the soundtrack of those times and very dear to those of us that lived in that era. But this is a prodigy at work, singing this song in such a mood that really invokes dreaming about California while somewhere cold and windy. Oh that voice, that tone, that Angelina.

Yes Sir you are correct she has made some of the best music ever song
I feel the songs more with Angelina than the originals, but the kicker is I hear and understand these songs in a new way.

And she made that song sound so beautiful with just a quitar playing by her side..
the first time I ever heard the words and felt their meaning --gorgeous
Those smiles lol...effortless always!
Again, Angelina completely reimagined this classic, infusing it with a depth of emotion that just resonates with my soul! Thanks for your reaction!

what makes it more astonishing is i think she is reading the lyrics as she sings
Angelina makes me forget the original artist every time. Have you heard Born to Die? Nothing Breaks Like a heart? Stay?
To me, the mark of true artistry is when an artist can take a song that everyone has heard a billion times and make it feel fresh again!

Growing up in the sixties, this Mamas and Papas song is a part of the soundtrack of those times and very dear to those of us that lived in that era. But this is a prodigy at work, singing this song in such a mood that really invokes dreaming about California while somewhere cold and windy. Oh that voice, that tone, that Angelina.
Beautiful cover! Kudos for the guitarist! He played it so soft. Perfect for her singing!
Her guitar accompaniest Ivan Mendes doesn't get enough credit. His playing highlights her amazing voice just perfectly.
She’s a consummate pro. Flawless!💕
