Angelina Jordan is a musical guru.. a genius.. a phenom. She is quite possibly the most naturally gifted vocalist in world history. She is the ONLY vocalist that moves me to tears virtually every time I hear her sing, (and I’m a 58 year old Navy Veteran). She is an old soul, well beyond her years. She is to be enjoyed and treasured. Great review… I always love watching people listen to this for the first time. Imagine being her vocal coach; trying to teach someone that is truly better than you must be an incredible challenge.
As you have witnessed, Angelina’s intellectual maturity is decades beyond her chronological age. The same can be said of her level of professionalism. She is the most uniquely talented and gifted young musician in the world. Her vocal versatility, range and breath control is unmatched. As you can see, her ability to interpret the emotion and soulfulness of the adult lyrics is uncanny for someone so young. There are a great many extremely talented young singers, but Angelina, the person and the musician, is unequaled. I suggest that you watch Angelina, at six years old, in her first studio performance singing, “I who have nothing”.
Angelina's a gift to the world you should go back and hear her sing What A Difference A Day Made and also and at last that you performed at a charity concert when she was sick
@@lengould9262 No, you're wrong. Let's not get into a pissing contest. Just do some proper research. In this clip ruclips.net/video/A-r1iWPHeLg/видео.html at 1:59 the man is 5'7" and Angelina's head is at an angle. And here: www.reddit.com/r/AngelinaJordan/comments/fmvufg/angelina_with_avril_lavigne_and_david_foster_2019/ Avril Lavigne is 5'2" and David Foster is 5'10".
She's not just a nine year genius, she's a nine year old genius with a band--a band who respect her. She was already doing things that many adult singers only dream of. She heard Screamin' Jay Hawkins and decided she wanted to sing it and created this wonderful rendition, at 9. Her covers of Adele, Lana del Rey, Sam Smith, Rihanna, and so many others are all amazing.
A lot of people have asked if she is maybe an alien, but she is not, she is human and one of the greatest singers of all time. Every time you listen and watch this track just wait for that tremendous last note. WOW!
Love watching reactors re trying to react to this master piece. One reactor had to take a break because he said he forgot his heart med. I have been following Angelina for 7 years now and she has Never failed to amaze me. One of my favorites is Filling Good at age 10 live You have just picked up a new subscriber and thousands more will follow. Angelina has the greatest and most loyal fan base in the world . She will turn 15 on the 10th of January In October of last year she signed with Republic Records and in November she released her first single since signing with Republic Records. Million Miles Lyrics and Million Miles live in studio my pick but both should be reacted to. Great Reaction Stay Safe ❤️
This presentation of this classic takes on a new dimension when you look behind the scenes a little. In the beginning, right after making desired production notes to the director, she enters the booth with a candle with the face of screaming Jay Hawkins on it. Screaming Jay Hawkins is the author of the song and she is actually doing a tribute to his original presentations. She's changed a few little things to suit her own taste, but if you were to listen to Jay''s version, you would even be more amazed at this little girl's talents.
Saw a comment recently that sums it up......"now I understand what it must have been like to be around when Mozart was visiting from whatever planet he was from"......
What is even more mind blowing is that in the credits, she was the one who rewrote the music for each instrument and made up the whole arrangement for this performance. WOW
There is a must see video of Angelina in Pre-school the class is singing Christmas songs she refuses to sing because she wants to sing Jazz instead of Christmas songs, the expression on her face is Priceless!
ruclips.net/video/pyokeKeymz0/видео.html Here is the link to that one it is really funny , at one point she looks to the one filming (which is usually her grandmother) and then motions as if to say get me out of here now please ! At another point she looks at the camera an puts her finger on her mouth and shakes her head no way, I am not singing in this mess !
@@ckh57 My favorite moment is when she gives a little shrug to that girl next to her, as if to say about the person behind the camera, "She's always doing this." (assuming it's a "she") [LOL!]
You've joined countless others who spent the last half of the song shaking their heads in disbelief!! Its so much fun to watch the reactions to this song -- it's why it's so requested!!
Your total surprise is typical for first-time listeners to this performance. She was barely 9 years old, less than 1 year after she won Norway's Got Talent at age 8 1/2. And consider that she chose and created this arrangement herself as a tribute to the writer and original artist, Jalacey "Screamin' Jay" Hawkins (his image is shown on the candle she is holding in the intro), so she did it in his style, as she still often does with her covers. You can see her handing arrangement changes to the musical director in the intro. Her performance shows her brilliant early talent, and keep in mind that she is on-key even on the screaming and growling. As you listen to additional covers and original songs, you'll likely repeat yourself ..."this was one of the most amazing things I've ever heard...". She uses more artistry, emotion and skill that you'll ever see from anyone else in one package. Enjoy your journey.
Hello Miss Friday. Loved the reaction. This girl is an amazing singer. I think she shocks everyone the first time they hear her. Keep up the great reactions.
Rick James.... there are many souls up there looking down and smiling and are proud of her! Michael Jackson Freddie Mercury Elvis Presley Amy Winehouse Whitney Houston Billie Holiday Frank Sinatra Nancy Sinatra Ella Fitzgerald and MANY more!!!
Her performance at 7 years old is jaw dropping. So much maturity and incredible control. Angelina will go down in history as one our greats, that I am sure of.
A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice. She was only 9 years old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, an American singer/songwriter. He wrote and performed it in 1956 and Angelina based her performance on the original, although she did make some subtle alterations to both lyrics and melody. As you continue your journey of discovering Angelina, you will come to realise that she does her own arrangements of most of the cover songs she sings. The differences may not be immediately discernible on first listening to them, but they are there. There may be a subtle change in tempo or tone, or more inflexion on some words, or a phrase may differ in pitch from the original. The amount of control that Angelina has over her voice cannot be measured. She never hurries a song. She sings in such a way that the emotions in the lyrics are felt by the listener. In this video did you notice:Angelina finishing some notes and handing them to the pianist, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music. In the band, she was called a boss.
GENIUS….. GODDESS!!!!!. This video will live forever!!!!! One of the very greatest singers ever!!!!!!! We are so so blessed to have ANGELina in our lives!!!! Her artistry and her old soul have conspired to bring so many of us through this horrific Covid nightmare. Everyday I listen to her music and I’m always inspired and transported by her pure, unmitigated brilliance!!!!! 🙏⭐️🙏⭐️🙏⭐️
Angelina Jordan " She put a spell on us" I've watched her sing this song at least 30 times now and I'm still spellbound. I now like watching the reactions to see Angelina put a spell on you. Great reaction i can see your spellbound. 😊🌏
Just turned nine two months previous to this production. Though she follows Screaming Jay Hawkins lyrics she arranged them and the instruments into what she wanted. You see her in the beginning writing change notes to the director. He has stated that she was very polite as she called them her wishes. There is a rehearsal where she is letting the band know what she wants. Imagine these seasoned musicians reaction after the set was finished and the conversations they had among themselves, friends and family. Quite sure the knew they had witnessed history. She is known affectionately as the boss.
Megan, your reaction is pretty much what happened to all who watched this video and heard Angelina sing like that at barely 9 years old. At least my reaction was jaw dropping, then laughing in disbelief, deep emotions running through me, and then just being kind of hypnotized. Also you should know Angelina is THE BOSS. She knows exactly how she wants a song to be sung, how the band was suppose to sound, etc. You'll see how this amazing little cute girl has now turned into a 6 feet tall 14, almost 15 year old. With a voice and a heart of gold 💕
Awesome reaction. ❤️🇨🇦 Angelina was 9 when this was recorded and 10 when it was released. Almost everyone that listens to this cover will become “Possessed” (including you) and will forever and always be under her “Spell” and you’ll be in for an awesome ride.
Angelina is a true jazz prodigy. She appears to have been borne with amazing abilities. It is fun to see people seeing the 9yo Angelina sing this for the first time.
The fact that our barefoot angel Angelina is so relaxed throughout the entire performance , including when she's not singing, but listening to the band and at the end after she has sung her last note, she continues to look relaxed as she listens to the band finish, as if she is gauging whether they did their part the way she wanted it is incredible . Thanks for your reacting Megan
You don't know how to react to this?? Your reaction is priceless! I have been a fan of Angelina since 2014 when I first saw her singing on Norway's Got Talent at 7/8 years old. I have watched hundreds (thousands?) of reactions to her singing. I have watched, I think, almost every reaction to her masterpiece version of "I put a spell on you" and you just wiped away my previous "best reaction opinion". I have never laughed so hard during a reaction in my life. Loved it!! Please do more reactions to Angelina!!!!
Great to have you back to a wonderful reaction to 9 years old Angelina's outstanding tribute to the song's author the very peculiar Screamin'Jay Hawkins. Looking forward to your next reaction to Angelina!
Yeah amazing it is.Angelina deserves music awards for this,it may be the greatest vocal performance by a child in history.The fact that it's her own interpretation makes it doubly amazing.
Hi Megan, great reaction. She was 9 years old here. She brings emotion, control and timing to every song. You are only 2 songs in and I really look forward to your journey. She has just released her live version of Million Miles which she wrote for her late Grandfather.
I've seen many first time reactors to this but yours is my FAVORITE ! I put this reaction in my archives. My favorites used to be your first reaction to PTX and Home Free. Angelina not only sings like a seasoned pro but she also arranges the songs. There are several videos showing her from age 8 to now showing the grown professional musicians how she "wishes" the song be performed.They call her "The Boss". Others will let you know the story of why she only performs barefoot. She is gifted but has worked diligently from early childhood to improve her craft. The best part for us fans is we get the privilege of watching her growth thru the videos that her Grandmother has recorded over the years and it is fascinating. At age 11 she recorded her first original "What is Life". Her growth from this video to age 10 is exceptional because she has many covers at 10 that are amazing. Feeling Good, Every Time We Say Goodbye and Back To Black by Amy Winehouse to name a few. I promise you will enjoy a journey with AJ. PS You can stop re-watching I Put A Spell On You now lol.
Very open, and nice reaction. You are certainly not the only one shocked by this performance. Angelina Jordan is the epitome of a God gifted talent.......
Thank you for your second wonderful reaction with Angelina, MissMegan. She in this song is stunning, I'm sorry for the destabilizing effect ... but this is Angelina 🤗 😜 and this song is a kind of investiture, is the watershed between simple listeners and fans of that girl. Certainly not many adults know Screamin', certainly the only little girl of 9 years in the world who knows him and who also thinks of singing him without any fear is Angelina.❤️ And it's incredible that this adaptation is all her own (the sheets written) and that at that age she was able to evaluate and transform, according to her sensitivity, such a particular and powerful song 😊 How is it possible that a girl of that age can make and sing the most beautiful transposition of this song from 65 years ago ... and it has been sung by many great performers. I really loved your spontaneous reaction ❤️ If you want another extrasensory experience with Angelina (one among many 😊) try "It's A Man's World" - at the Age 12 ruclips.net/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/видео.html
I'm watching this and thinking how does all of that talent fit inside one human and one that tiny and small when I can't even get enough talent to stay in me for more than a second, Angelina is truly magical.
Angelina sings every song beautifully. If you think this song was emotional, you are in for a big surprise when you listen to her songs that are actually meant to be emotional. Her new release Million Miles, and her cover of Adele's A Million Years Ago are guaranteed to pluck your heartstrings.
Emotion is more than just sadness. This performance is extremely emotional and is definitely meant to be that way. It’s her ability to muster all those incredible vocal techniques, her timing, breath control etc.to convey that emotion which, in the final analysis, is what makes her performance so remarkable.
@@mrpeppery i agree with you. Most of Angelina's songs leave an emotional impression. I was opining on the intensity of that emotionality. When Angelina conveys sadness in her singing, i'm overwhelmed with emotion.
Welcome to the "rabbit hole" ! Not bad from a girl that turned 9 years old 2 months before this was recorded. This hit RUclips after she turned 10. Your reaction was like mine: Mind Blown !!! Angelina is a great vocalist as well as a great person. Great reaction.
You asked in the description, "what's your favorite part?". There are really too many to list in this one, but one of my favorite things is something kind of subtle and nobody ever mentions it, but it's that punchy way she says the word "spell" in "I put a spell on you". I never hear anyone else attack that word like that in other covers of this, and it is just perfect. Another one is the way she twirls the notes around with her finger at 7:03. But trying to list all the little masterful things she does in a song (any song), would literally take pages. This is an undeniable genius at work.
Rusty, at 7:03 Angelina does several things that are just superb! The first thing is she sings from "I don't care.." until the end of the piece in a minor key that isn't used in the rest of the piece, Second this phrase is a cappella except for a few piano notes which indicates to me that she has perfect pitch. Finally, her sustain in this last phrase is well beyond what one could expect from a singer at this age. These three things demonstrate techniques that some adults would be proud to show. I don't know if at age 9 she knows the music theory behind using this minor key or if to her it just sounds right, but it is pure brilliance!! Like you said a person could write pages and pages for any one song to describe how Angelina puts her magic touch on any particular song!!!!
Miss Megan ... 1) Where is your over-ear headphones? As amazed as you are, you’re still missing out. :) 2) The spell is cast. You’re one of the Angels now. Welcome! ❤️ I eagerly look forward to your journey through the rest of Angelinas beautiful world.
And the story behind the actual recording of this video is almost as mind blowing as her genius vocal rendition. She arranged it as you can see in the beginning some notes about how she wanted certain arrangements she passed on to the band director. She was so intelligent and knowledgeable that the band nicknamed her "the Boss" She did this rendition as tribute to the original by Screaming Jay Hawkens. One word I have found describes what AJ does to people is "Duende"
Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤️💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤️💙 Whether you are a believer in reincarnation or not, I find it very intriguing that Lou Rawls, the American Jazz & blues singer legend, passed away the same day Angelina is born 😊 Loved your reaction!!!
More surprising when you realise she does her own arrangements. That part you see her writing and then handing to the producer the surprised Laugh is him reading how she want the brass to sound in the "Watch Out!" section...
I love the expression on your face listening to this video of Angelina Jordan Put A Spell On You she is going to go far in her career I want everybody that she reacts to keep her safe God bless this young beautiful woman
“I don’t even know what to say “ standard response to a stupefyingly incomprehensible piece of music history..loved your reaction..subd )) I’ve listened to music for 45 years..it’s a huge part of my life..I’m serious when I say no one and I mean no one has ever made me feel the music as Angelina does time after time. A guy called Elvis came close but in the feels it’s AJ every time for me ))
What I like most is her integrity when she sings. Like the way, she does in this one. And her growls and raspiness in it. She sounds like she is singing in some cheap bar just to make some bucks (and some free drinks). She does perform this with such passion. I was blown away just like you the first time I heard it.
For another example just as startling see her cover of Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday" on Norway's Got Talent (English subs version) when she was 7. Here, 2 yrs later, she was emulating the original version of this song by Screamin' Jay Hawkins, whose face was on the candle at the beginning. On the earlier one, you can detect some of the vocal inflections of Billie Holiday. She used to sing along with the originals in her grandmother's record collection.
I'm 74 and been listening to music all my life. This is the greatest singing performance by a 9-year old I've ever heard.
Angelina Jordan is a musical guru.. a genius.. a phenom. She is quite possibly the most naturally gifted vocalist in world history. She is the ONLY vocalist that moves me to tears virtually every time I hear her sing, (and I’m a 58 year old Navy Veteran). She is an old soul, well beyond her years.

Yes! 9 years old.
As you have witnessed, Angelina’s intellectual maturity is decades beyond her chronological age. The same can be said of her level of professionalism. She is the most uniquely talented and gifted young musician in the world. Her vocal versatility, range and breath control is unmatched. As you can see, her ability to interpret the emotion and soulfulness of the adult lyrics is uncanny for someone so young. There are a great many extremely talented young singers, but Angelina, the person and the musician, is unequaled.
I suggest that you watch Angelina, at six years old, in her first studio performance singing, “I who have nothing”.
Your reaction is genuine to everyone who hears her. She is astounding and I am totally mesmerised by her 💕💕💕
she is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and you are adorable
Wow! You said it, Amazing voice, amazing talent, amazing girl. Thanks for reaction.
If I was forced at gunpoint to pick a favorite part: "I love you!I love you! I love you!..." But it's close...
Nice work Megan. 💖💙🔥
amazing... see how you are shocked of this special girl... most special is how she honoures the original artist... Screaming Jay Hawkins...
Angelina's a gift to the world you should go back and hear her sing What A Difference A Day Made and also and at last that you performed at a charity concert when she was sick
Now you understand our Angelina! Welcome aboard the journey!
This is The Best Reaction to any song I've ever seen. Thank You and Welcome to the Club😀
She is the best ever
Iam shaking like a leaf..... she's a gift from God, probably in the top 1 percent of greatest singers ever...
Can we just talk about that attitude? I can't get enough of this song.
UNESCO should put Angelina's voice on the World Heritage List. This voice must be protected as one of the greatest treasures of humanity :)
I believe that would go on the World Intangible Cultural Heritage List. [grin]
Hear hear!!

Yes yes yes!!!
BRAVO Kristofor!!!!

One reactor had to take a break because he said he forgot his heart med.
I have been following Angelina for 7 years now and she has Never failed to amaze me.
One of my favorites is Filling Good at age 10 live
You have just picked up a new subscriber and thousands more will follow.
Angelina has the greatest and most loyal fan base in the world .
She will turn 15 on the 10th of January
In October of last year she signed with Republic Records and in November she released her first single since signing with Republic Records.
Million Miles Lyrics and
Million Miles live in studio my pick but both should be reacted to.
Great Reaction Stay Safe ❤️

Hi my dear Angelina is 9 years old here what you are dealing with is a modern-day Mozart you have a long ways to go she has 130 songs to listen to
What is even more mind blowing is that in the credits, she was the one who rewrote the music for each instrument and made up the whole arrangement for this performance. WOW

Angelina absolutely makes grown men cry.
"I'm Still Holding Out For You" at age ten is my favorite; her maturity and vocal ability is simply phenomenal.
"She is so cute!" 😍 then this little "Monster" sings 😮😱

She was only 9 years old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, an American singer/songwriter.

....and she's reading some of the lyrics....
Salute to the pint sized genius.
Yeah amazing it is.Angelina deserves music awards for this,it may be the greatest vocal performance by a child in history.The fact that it's her own interpretation makes it doubly amazing.
Hi Megan, great reaction. She was 9 years old here. She brings emotion, control and timing to every song. You are only 2 songs in and I really look forward to your journey. She has just released her live version of Million Miles which she wrote for her late Grandfather.
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Loved the reaction. Angelina does that to all of us. A month between Angelina reactions is too long though!
I've seen many first time reactors to this but yours is my FAVORITE ! I put this reaction in my archives. My favorites used to be your first reaction to PTX and Home Free. Angelina not only sings like a seasoned pro but she also arranges the songs. There are several videos showing her from age 8 to now showing the grown professional musicians how she "wishes" the song be performed.They call her "The Boss". Others will let you know the story of why she only performs barefoot. She is gifted but has worked diligently from early childhood to improve her craft. The best part for us fans is we get the privilege of watching her growth thru the videos that her Grandmother has recorded over the years and it is fascinating. At age 11 she recorded her first original "What is Life". Her growth from this video to age 10 is exceptional because she has many covers at 10 that are amazing. Feeling Good, Every Time We Say Goodbye and Back To Black by Amy Winehouse to name a few. I promise you will enjoy a journey with AJ. PS You can stop re-watching I Put A Spell On You now lol.
Wow thank you!
This girl is not human. She is truly an Angel(ina) Keep going down the rabbit hole. She will play your emotions, with her voice, like a harp.
The last word and note she sang was amazing. I bet there isn't 3 other people on this planet could sing that. Ever!
A Million Years Ago
I'm 65 and it's one of the best things I've ever heard and I've been listening to music since I was a boy
Very open, and nice reaction. You are certainly not the only one shocked by this performance.
Angelina Jordan is the epitome of a God gifted talent.......
Dimash and AJ..my two favorite erm..aliens :D
Welcome to your Angelina Jordan journey..many more surprises to come!
Thank you for your second wonderful reaction with Angelina, MissMegan. She in this song is stunning, I'm sorry for the destabilizing effect ... but this is Angelina 🤗 😜 and this song is a kind of investiture, is the watershed between simple listeners and fans of that girl. Certainly not many adults know Screamin', certainly the only little girl of 9 years in the world who knows him and who also thinks of singing him without any fear is Angelina.❤️ And it's incredible that this adaptation is all her own (the sheets written) and that at that age she was able to evaluate and transform, according to her sensitivity, such a particular and powerful song 😊 How is it possible that a girl of that age can make and sing the most beautiful transposition of this song from 65 years ago ... and it has been sung by many great performers. I really loved your spontaneous reaction ❤️
If you want another extrasensory experience with Angelina (one among many 😊) try "It's A Man's World" - at the Age 12 ruclips.net/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/видео.html
I'm watching this and thinking how does all of that talent fit inside one human and one that tiny and small when I can't even get enough talent to stay in me for more than a second, Angelina is truly magical.
Angelina sings every song beautifully. If you think this song was emotional, you are in for a big surprise when you listen to her songs that are actually meant to be emotional. Her new release Million Miles, and her cover of Adele's A Million Years Ago are guaranteed to pluck your heartstrings.
Emotion is more than just sadness. This performance is extremely emotional and is definitely meant to be that way. It’s her ability to muster all those incredible vocal techniques, her timing, breath control etc.to convey that emotion which, in the final analysis, is what makes her performance so remarkable.
@@mrpeppery i agree with you. Most of Angelina's songs leave an emotional impression. I was opining on the intensity of that emotionality. When Angelina conveys sadness in her singing, i'm overwhelmed with emotion.
@@jerrylarocque9600 Fair enough. Me too! 😂
How is it possible? I have come to the conclusion "Because it is Angelina"
Best "reaction video" on the internet, and all of your words were true and justified. Angelina Jordan is Heaven sent.
Welcome to the "rabbit hole" ! Not bad from a girl that turned 9 years old 2 months before this was recorded. This hit RUclips after she turned 10. Your reaction was like mine: Mind Blown !!!
Angelina is a great vocalist as well as a great person.
Great reaction.
You asked in the description, "what's your favorite part?". There are really too many to list in this one, but one of my favorite things is something kind of subtle and nobody ever mentions it, but it's that punchy way she says the word "spell" in "I put a spell on you". I never hear anyone else attack that word like that in other covers of this, and it is just perfect. Another one is the way she twirls the notes around with her finger at 7:03. But trying to list all the little masterful things she does in a song (any song), would literally take pages. This is an undeniable genius at work.
rusty "dhow-unn"
Rusty, at 7:03 Angelina does several things that are just superb! The first thing is she sings from "I don't care.." until the end of the piece in a minor key that isn't used in the rest of the piece, Second this phrase is a cappella except for a few piano notes which indicates to me that she has perfect pitch. Finally, her sustain in this last phrase is well beyond what one could expect from a singer at this age. These three things demonstrate techniques that some adults would be proud to show. I don't know if at age 9 she knows the music theory behind using this minor key or if to her it just sounds right, but it is pure brilliance!!
Like you said a person could write pages and pages for any one song to describe how Angelina puts her magic touch on any particular song!!!!
I heard a vocal coach say something to the effect that the twirl is imitating the flow of air in that passage...what! She's a treasure. Full stop.
I agree. One of the most amazing things I've seen in my whole life.
9 years and 2 months old.
She's been in the recording studios since she was 5 which is why she's so relaxed in that environment
Your speachless reaction is the best, full of emotions!
Miss Megan ...
1) Where is your over-ear headphones? As amazed as you are, you’re still missing out. :)
2) The spell is cast. You’re one of the Angels now. Welcome! ❤️
I eagerly look forward to your journey through the rest of Angelinas beautiful world.
I have AirPods in my ears.
And the story behind the actual recording of this video is almost as mind blowing as her genius vocal rendition.
She arranged it as you can see in the beginning some notes about how she wanted certain arrangements she passed on to the band director.
She was so intelligent and knowledgeable that the band nicknamed her "the Boss"
She did this rendition as tribute to the original by Screaming Jay Hawkens.
One word I have found describes what AJ does to people is "Duende"
Funny you say she is going places but she just got here! From Another Galaxy!!!!!!!!
Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤️💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤️💙 Whether you are a believer in reincarnation or not, I find it very intriguing that Lou Rawls, the American Jazz & blues singer legend, passed away the same day Angelina is born 😊 Loved your reaction!!!
More surprising when you realise she does her own arrangements. That part you see her writing and then handing to the producer the surprised Laugh is him reading how she want the brass to sound in the "Watch Out!" section...
I love the expression on your face listening to this video of Angelina Jordan Put A Spell On You she is going to go far in her career I want everybody that she reacts to keep her safe God bless this young beautiful woman
ANGELINA. ..👏👏👏👏👏👏
“I don’t even know what to say “ standard response to a stupefyingly incomprehensible piece of music history..loved your reaction..subd )) I’ve listened to music for 45 years..it’s a huge part of my life..I’m serious when I say no one and I mean no one has ever made me feel the music as Angelina does time after time. A guy called Elvis came close but in the feels it’s AJ every time for me ))
DITTO!!!
Welcome to the Angelina rabbit hole! 😉
Love this girl! and Love Your reaction!
same!.....lol.....when i was 8 ..i was learning to brush my teeth ......omg
What I like most is her integrity when she sings. Like the way, she does in this one. And her growls and raspiness in it. She sounds like she is singing in some cheap bar just to make some bucks (and some free drinks). She does perform this with such passion. I was blown away just like you the first time I heard it.
"I'D RATHER GO BLIND" is a MUST! You'll LOVED it!
For another example just as startling see her cover of Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday" on Norway's Got Talent (English subs version) when she was 7. Here, 2 yrs later, she was emulating the original version of this song by Screamin' Jay Hawkins, whose face was on the candle at the beginning. On the earlier one, you can detect some of the vocal inflections of Billie Holiday. She used to sing along with the originals in her grandmother's record collection.
I enjoyed your reaction of Angelina. Please do more of her. Any song will effect you. Ex. Million years ago.
Your Reactions made this Post, EVEN BETTER. And Angelina is 1 in a Million. Or 10 Million. Great Post.
