You sure don't see many 10 year old professionals. She is a natural star and I know she will achieve all her goals. I enjoy the prayer and hope you will continue to show your faith. It seems as if God and Jesus are a minority in the lives of most people and I feel that it why it's such a sad and violent society.
You said it right: "The more you listen to her, the more she captures your heart". I've been so fortunate to attend 2 of her concerts live. She is just as kind, warm and simply amazing in person as in all these videos.
Just like Angelina touches souls, you touch souls with your prayers. My husband was going to have brain surgery a few days after the first time I listened to your reaction, and I was quite anxious about it, your prayer gave me that peace that passes all understanding.
Paul, most of us who are with you, when we see a video coming up with Angelina singing a particular song, like this one, we start smiling and know it's a can't miss video! When the camera started to circle around her did you see that little smile she gave toward the camera when she was singing? As much as we love her and enjoy listening to her sing for us, musicians who play behind her take it to another level. Not only do they think she is great but they are in total awe of her because they cannot understand how it is possible for, in this case, a 10 year old girl possess artistic abilities which border on genius. And it comes across as very natural. Incredible. only Angelina...
I think I have said this before but Angelina always sounds great but a lot of the time she is beyond great she is simply otherworldly. This is one of those ones. Great reaction.
No one can describe a miracle. Some of the world's best vocal coaches tried to describe her voice with no avail. They described the technical part, but not the miracle part where she can sing like that at that early age.
She call her fans Angels because in one ofher songs “Shield” she sings “surround me with Angels don’t let them go”. As true Angels we will protect her at all costs. She is that precious to us.
She just had.concert in Las Vegas you should check it out maybe and then come back.She is a calming presence and thousands feel the way you do Thank you
This has always been one of my favorite performances of Angelina. She's on a big stage with all the lights, cameras moving around her, a full band, a live audience and she's just completely in charge like a boss. She commands the whole scene and knocks it out of the park. There are several performances she does when she is 10 that are recorded and fantastic as well. She did a cover of Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black" with the Kork orchestra (Norwegian Radio Orchestra), which she wrote new lyrics for in 24 hours prior to performing it, because her mother said she couldn't use the original lyrics because they weren't age apropriate. She made a demo of a song written by Sterling Fox (AKA Brandon Lowry, Baby Fuzz) titled "Holding Out for You" which wasn't released but got leaked to the internet and a fan made a video to go with it. She also did a cover of "White Christmas" when she was 10. There are probably more but these stand out in my memory. Nice reaction and keep up the good work.
Way to stick to your values and tell people how it is. Keep delivering your honest and true reactions. Angelina is amazing. It’s hard to believe she was 10 years old here. Thanks for a great reaction.
Right when she got up in that full belt part you reacted perfectly and I cried despite having seen her sing this same song at least 50 times . Don’t worry about those negative commenters , you be you That’s why I watch
We all have the same reaction to that light, but we also know it does go away. And once past the light, it's all magic and beauty, and pure awesomeness.
After having been an Angel for awhile. You realize no matter how hard you try, there are no words to adequately describe her, so you just say Angelina is just being Angelina...and all the Angels around the world will understand exactly what you mean.❤❤❤❤❤
Great reaction again 🙂 Also the TIMING in this one is off the charts in my opinion, together with all the rest of it 🙂 As far as impolite and unintelligent people go, the world flourishes with them, so you're bound to encounter a few of them on your channel as well. In a perfect world though, you wouldn't. I just love the way you're running your channel, and I don't mind your prayers at all, despite me not being a Christian per se. I DO try to live by the same rules though. I'm putting all my eggs in a basket and hope that if and when I meet God, that it will be enough. Take care and stay safe, my friend ! Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
Thank you for reacting to this amazing performance by 10 years old Angelina, the Barefoot Angel. This is another reason why she is known as "The National Treasure of Norway." It is wise not to heed some comments by unknown sources on social media.
Some people look for things they think they need to fix.Dont worry about them we scroll right past them and you should also.This young ,now 18 year old woman has worked over 12 years on her craftshe says she spends 4 to 6 hours a day on her craft.Its from a television show in Norway
This is her band with a guest string section added for this performance. She had been working full-time with her band for about 2 years at this point. She is 10 here. The light is a symbol that a new star is born! Her band always called her "Boss." Not because she and her family hired them, but because, once they heard her sing, they knew they were working with a genius talent. Then she arranged all the music!
You’re doing a great job! Really enjoy them. Lots of people try to react to Angelina Jordan in chronological order. Almost all abandon that pretty quickly. And really, I don’t believe it’s necessary at all. No matter how many times I watch and listen they all leave me loving her more.
Angelina hadn’t moved to LA at this point in her career so I don’t know how the Education grade is in Norway 🇳🇴, this performance from the Queen of jazz and soul I’ve probably watched a hundred times over and it still amazes me how a 10 year old can sing with such technical ability skill and voice control, great reaction thanks 🙏
Angelina Jordan ASTAR (the name says it all), this young norwegian genius (now 18 y young) is imo the best singer on the planet! I am 71 y old and have never heard a singer like her in my whole life. Every time she brings tears in my eyes cause her singing is so beautiful. Her voice touches my heart and cleanses my soul.
Hello Sir. The reason that I, and I am sure many other Angels, love your channel is that your reactions are so sincere, so heartfelt and you always support the artist. There will always be detractors, hiding behind their screens, but when you are grounded in Faith, when you get your strength from a higher Authority, you can never be shaken. Just keep on being yourself, keep the prayers coming (The Lord knows we need them) and continue to enjoy the AJ Journey. There are few things more fulfilling and uplifting, and she will never disappoint you. She makes this world a better place.
Hi Sir 👋 my fellow Angelina Angel 😇 I thank you for always saying a prayer 🙏 for us AJ Angels 😇 and all the other listeners of your music channel at the end! It's a good thing and something unique that no one else is talking about on You Tube! And it is also special and personal for me because here at Angelina or Dimash music videos we have two angels 😇 😇 with us on earth 🌏! Who will change the world for the better, little by little! This is your destiny I say God's 🙏💫✨️💫 Mission!! I am convinced of that!! God 💫✨️💫 sent both! At the age of 10, Angelina sings😲🎙 this song to me better than any of the versions I have ever heard and at the age of 10 it is unbelievable !! but true what a musical 🎶 and human genius! She must be a human angel 😇! Not a normal dying person like Dimash!! could ever pull something like this off!! Thanks for the great words and the emotional reaction as always my fellow AJ Angel 😇👍👌👏! Love 💖 and peace ✌️☮️ and kindness 😀 from Switzerland 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭👋🙋♂️!! 😇👣👸😲🎙🎷🎻🎺🎸 🎹 ❤️🔥💖❤️🔥💥🌹🌍💎! Spread Love 💖all time!😀
Paul, absolutely love your honest and sincere reactions Sir!!! Idiots abound in our life and especially on social media...they can hide behind the anonymity of their computers or phones and spew their nonsense, it is easy for them. You be you Paul, one of my absolute favorite reactors, especially with our Angel. BTW, think that bright light in the beginning was a halo over our Angel. Blessing to you Paul... never stop what you are doing and ignore those that are only here to inject their unhappiness upon us. 🥰🥰
I mostly ignore them, but occasionally I will respond. I think people who drop in on my channel for the first time need to understand that I'm not going to change who I am for them or for anyone else.
U are doing great 👍 👌 let them talk cause talk don't bother u enjoy ur reaction and your character speaks volume about the person uare keep enjoying the good bless u 😊 ❤❤❤❤
Another of my favourite AJ covers ! I think I asked you to react to this some time ago, so thankyou!!! I love all your comments and love your prayers and good wishes for us . We wish the same for you.
"She is very, very, very special!." All of us agree with that. I often comment on this video that this is when I stopped using the phrase " for her age". She is as good or better than any of the greats who have sung this song. Steve Ackerman posted a video of a "two-word challenge" where fans could, in two words, express their connection to, their response to, or their assessment of Angelina. You gave a good one with "soul infiltrating". We know how you feel.
Just for the record, she was actually midway through 6th grade here (2016-12-30). However, she had apparently already skipped a grade at that point (*), so 5th grade is the right age range to be thinking of.😊 (*) In December 2017, one year after this performance, she was described in an article as being "in 7th grade, while her friends and the other children of her own age attend 6th grade." When she made the music video for "Back to Black" in April 2016, a news story about her said she was in 5th grade (which tracks). Two years before that, in March 2014, she was filmed for a news segment in a school classroom, and some of the children in that footage would show up later in various videos, including the 2016 news story and videos from her 12th birthday shot by her grandmother. Presumably those friends must have been in the same grade with her at least through 2nd grade, and she must have skipped either 3rd or 4th grade. (This tracks with her turning 7 in 1st grade, which I believe is typical in Norway as well as in the U.S.)
Thank you for another heartfelt reaction to AJ , this is my favourite version of this song by anyone and she's doing this at 10 yrs old , this is her own arrangement as well , everything that she does is imbued with real love from her giant heart it transcends all else , she finds her way into your heart and remains there like a warm glow, she receives a standing ovation for being Angelina before she even sings, we love any opportunity we get to share how we feel about her, such is the love we have for her and she never stops returning it.💜👣💎
Hi, Philip! Thank you for another excellent reaction to Angelina, who has been my favourite singer for the last ten years. In my opinion, she is the best singer in the world, and there are thousands of others who would agree with me. Every moment you spend featuring her on your channel will being you great emotional satisfaction.As you will see in my comments our opinion differs about the light 🙂 There are so many things I get from this performance. Some I recognised immediately and those I missed were brought to my attention by the more observant Angelina fans (her Angels) and I thank them for letting me know what I had missed. (1) The realisation that at the age of 10 Angelina has shed all childishness from her voice. (2) A feeling that the placement of the spotlight at the beginning of her performance was deliberate. If it was, then, to my mind, it was a brilliant move. (3) The fact that Angelina arranged this song and that the band kept out of the way and let her voice be the focus. (4) The incredible low note she sang for the word "good" at the beginning and end of the performance. (5) That wonderful crescendo at the end. (6) The was Angelina used her left arm and hand throughout the performance (7) The way she changed the microphone from her right hand to left hand, so that she could flip her hair back with her right hand. (8) The cheeky smile she gave to the cameraman when she realised he had focused on her at about 6.39 in your reaction video. (9) The sideways look and grin she gives to her instrumentalists just after she curtsies to the audience -- as if to say, "Yeah, we killed it, guys! Now let's go get some ice cream!" (10) The almost instantaneous switch from "performance" mode to that of a young child who, curtseyed and gave a sweet smile to the audience as an acknowledgement of their applause. Others have commented that the performance by Nina Simone should be considered the "gold" standard for this song. Until recently, I had never watched her performance, but have now done so. They just cannot be compared, for Angelina's arrangement is totally different
… Even if I keep repeating myself...nobody sings this song better than Angelina...nobody!! I can't find the words to describe how perfectly it is sung!! So perfect... world class... the orchestra is also sensational!! ✨💎✨ Thank you
Thanks for cleaning up the air before your reaction - there always a few who complaint about whatever. As for this performance: This is a 5th grader but on the other hand it's a seasoned pro in her 4th year on TV stages. This is a charity event benefitting Plan international Norway, a Norwegian Charity supporting children. It is called "The Stream gir tilbake (= gives back)" because finalists from “The Stream” (Norwegian TV song contest similar to “American Idol” or “The Voice”) performed there, along with established Norwegian artists, among them Angelina. The event took place on Friday 30 December 2016 and has been broadcast live on TV 2 Norway from the event hall at Chateau Neuf Oslo (1,400 seats), so Angelina was still 10yo but very shy of her 11th bday on Jan 10th. She created her rendition when 9yo together with Avicii for his Volvo advertising campaign and performed it before, e.g. on her 2015 Chistmas concert in a famous Jazz club in Oslo (so a 4th grader still).
Relax, the intro is probably aiming for some kind of halo effect. It ends the moment the song starts. Watching this little 10-year old sing her heart out AND capturing the very soul of everyone watching is something special, especially considering the fact that Angelina (the prodigy "boss") will have arranged most of it herself! What I always find most endearing in these early videos is watching her to the very end: We can actually SEE her coming out of her music mode and quietly revert to being just an unassuming little girl! The main worry is that she is now in 'Murica, having signed up with an 'Murican record label, having left her safe and secure Norwegian roots. How many young stars have we seen go bonkers in that kind of environment? Fortunately Angelina has a family Shield, she was raised properly in a level-headed society (Norway) and seems to have her head sensibly screwed on. Just consider the barefoot issue! It will take A LOT to ruin that kind of mentality.
Querido irmão, Deus seja louvado por sua vida! Agradeço suas orações e peço que persevere nisso... eu, particularmente, e meu marido, precisamos das orações dos irmãos, e as suas são preciosas para nós, que cuidamos, há mais de 20 anos, de mais de 150 gatos, que foram um dia abandonados, com recursos que advém de verdadeiro milagre, pois não temos fonte de renda... servimos a Deus e nosso sustento vem de doações de pessoas (poucas) que se compadecem dos animais. Portanto, vivemos porque Deus nos sustenta! Deste modo, as orações são muito benvindas. Obrigada! Você é amável e não são justas as críticas. Creio que fez bem em rechaçá-las. Que Deus o abençoe ricamente!🙏🏻 Um abraço apertado, Lili
Hi Paul, Can you react to angelina jordans cover of always on my mind please ? She performed it as a tribute to her grandfather that passed. She was twelve . Its very heart warming. Thanks Paul.
I wouldn't recommend that performance. First of all it's just a quarter of the song, and she can't resist and she bursts out crying. In my opinion it's not a nice video to react to someone that cries. Try to be in her shoes and think about it. Watching it off camera would be okay.
@@paulschmehl2124 nope, only the one. You can do it if you'd like that. I wouldn't recommend it. She has "Can't help falling in love" that would be good. God Bless Paul 🙏🏻
@@paulschmehl2124 The video in question is placed by Angelina herself on her own official cover channel, so IMHO intended to be seen by everyone and I can't see any reason not to react to it. It's a tribute to her grandpa, who passed away shortly before this video was recorded, and what she did there reveals a lot about her as a person that no other performance of the same song would.
@@paulwagner9303 This is just an opinion, Angelina uploading it on her channel meant that she shares it with her fans. Reusing it to make a reaction is different, it's like celebrating a tough moment in her life. Maybe I'm wrong it's just an opinion. God bless 🙏🏻
The filming with the light behind AJ made it look kinda cool, I think thats why they did it in that shot. But im not sure, maybe it was just AJ who moved her head a little.

She is special and keep the prayers coming.
Angelina's masterclass in Jazz at age 10 :)
I’ve never heard a better rendition / performance of this song by ANY other artist at ANY age!
Amen brother!!!! Long may we live to enjoy more of this precious young lady! :)
You sure don't see many 10 year old professionals. She is a natural star and I know she will achieve all her goals. I enjoy the prayer and hope you will continue to show your faith. It seems as if God and Jesus are a minority in the lives of most people and I feel that it why it's such a sad and violent society.
You said it right: "The more you listen to her, the more she captures your heart". I've been so fortunate to attend 2 of her concerts live. She is just as kind, warm and simply amazing in person as in all these videos.
Just like Angelina touches souls, you touch souls with your prayers. My husband was going to have brain surgery a few days after the first time I listened to your reaction, and I was quite anxious about it, your prayer gave me that peace that passes all understanding.

This has always been one of my favorite performances of Angelina. She's on a big stage with all the lights, cameras moving around her, a full band, a live audience and she's just completely in charge like a boss.

Angelina Jordan definitely is “world class.” Her stunningly beautiful voice is *otherworldly.* Great reaction Paul!

Keep being you and prayerful.
Great Reaction 👍👣😎🙏
Hello Sir. The reason that I, and I am sure many other Angels, love your channel is that your reactions are so sincere, so heartfelt and you always support the artist. There will always be detractors, hiding behind their screens, but when you are grounded in Faith, when you get your strength from a higher Authority, you can never be shaken. Just keep on being yourself, keep the prayers coming (The Lord knows we need them) and continue to enjoy the AJ Journey. There are few things more fulfilling and uplifting, and she will never disappoint you. She makes this world a better place.
She does indeed.
Hi Sir 👋 my fellow Angelina Angel 😇 I thank you for always saying a prayer 🙏 for us AJ Angels 😇 and all the other listeners of your music channel at the end! It's a good thing and something unique that no one else is talking about on You Tube!

This is your destiny I say God's 🙏💫✨️💫 Mission!! I am convinced of that!! God 💫✨️💫 sent both!

Paul, absolutely love your honest and sincere reactions Sir!!! Idiots abound in our life and especially on social media...they can hide behind the anonymity of their computers or phones and spew their nonsense, it is easy for them. You be you Paul, one of my absolute favorite reactors, especially with our Angel. BTW, think that bright light in the beginning was a halo over our Angel. Blessing to you Paul... never stop what you are doing and ignore those that are only here to inject their unhappiness upon us. 🥰🥰
I mostly ignore them, but occasionally I will respond. I think people who drop in on my channel for the first time need to understand that I'm not going to change who I am for them or for anyone else.
Still my favorite version of this song she has done. That includes the version she did in Vegas last month.
You’re right, Angelina is special. I hope I can live many more years to continue watching her grow!
One of AJ's very best .
You do a great job reacting to these videos.
Thoroughly enjoy your journey with Angie!!
Thank you for the kind words.
Hi Paul, Never mind the Nay sayers negative comments. You have perfect imperfections as Angelina says. God Bless Sir.
It is so cool that she take an interest in all the "good old stuff" And rekindle them:)
Especially for us old geezers.
The gold standard for this song although her outdoor live performance is just as good imo , and you get plenty of fresh air . great vocals 😊
There are no imperfections on your channel.
And you, too, are very, very, special.
Love from Germany
There's at least one - me!
U are doing great 👍 👌 let them talk cause talk don't bother u enjoy ur reaction and your character speaks volume about the person uare keep enjoying the good bless u 😊 ❤❤❤❤
Another of my favourite AJ covers ! I think I asked you to react to this some time ago, so thankyou!!! I love all your comments and love your prayers and good wishes for us . We wish the same for you.
"She is very, very, very special!." All of us agree with that. I often comment on this video that this is when I stopped using the phrase " for her age". She is as good or better than any of the greats who have sung this song. Steve Ackerman posted a video of a "two-word challenge" where fans could, in two words, express their connection to, their response to, or their assessment of Angelina. You gave a good one with "soul infiltrating". We know how you feel.
Just for the record, she was actually midway through 6th grade here (2016-12-30). However, she had apparently already skipped a grade at that point (*), so 5th grade is the right age range to be thinking of.😊
(*) In December 2017, one year after this performance, she was described in an article as being "in 7th grade, while her friends and the other children of her own age attend 6th grade." When she made the music video for "Back to Black" in April 2016, a news story about her said she was in 5th grade (which tracks). Two years before that, in March 2014, she was filmed for a news segment in a school classroom, and some of the children in that footage would show up later in various videos, including the 2016 news story and videos from her 12th birthday shot by her grandmother. Presumably those friends must have been in the same grade with her at least through 2nd grade, and she must have skipped either 3rd or 4th grade. (This tracks with her turning 7 in 1st grade, which I believe is typical in Norway as well as in the U.S.)
I've said it years ago,,,, still true, "the girl with 1000 voices!"
Man.... you dont have to explain for the idiots. Just keep doing what you're doing and we'll be here. Cough and all. Praise Jesus. 👍♥️
I love your videos, your prayers are a blessing to me. Keep up the awesome work.
Thank you for the kind words.
Thank you for another heartfelt reaction to AJ , this is my favourite version of this song by anyone and she's doing this at 10 yrs old , this is her own arrangement as well , everything that she does is imbued with real love from her giant heart it transcends all else , she finds her way into your heart and remains there like a warm glow, she receives a standing ovation for being Angelina before she even sings, we love any opportunity we get to share how we feel about her, such is the love we have for her and she never stops returning it.💜👣💎
The light.. "its a new dawn , its a new day, its a new life". This is a better performance for me than her latest performance at 18.
Hi, Philip! Thank you for another excellent reaction to Angelina, who has been my favourite singer for the last ten years. In my opinion, she is the best singer in the world, and there are thousands of others who would agree with me. Every moment you spend featuring her on your channel will being you great emotional satisfaction.As you will see in my comments our opinion differs about the light 🙂
There are so many things I get from this performance. Some I recognised immediately and those I missed were brought to my attention by the more observant Angelina fans (her Angels) and I thank them for letting me know what I had missed.
(1) The realisation that at the age of 10 Angelina has shed all childishness from her voice.
(2) A feeling that the placement of the spotlight at the beginning of her performance was deliberate. If it was, then, to my mind, it was a brilliant move.
(3) The fact that Angelina arranged this song and that the band kept out of the way and let her voice be the focus.
(4) The incredible low note she sang for the word "good" at the beginning and end of the performance.
(5) That wonderful crescendo at the end.
(6) The was Angelina used her left arm and hand throughout the performance
(7) The way she changed the microphone from her right hand to left hand, so that she could flip her hair back with her right hand.
(8) The cheeky smile she gave to the cameraman when she realised he had focused on her at about 6.39 in your reaction video.
(9) The sideways look and grin she gives to her instrumentalists just after she curtsies to the audience -- as if to say, "Yeah, we killed it, guys! Now let's go get some ice cream!"
(10) The almost instantaneous switch from "performance" mode to that of a young child who, curtseyed and gave a sweet smile to the audience as an acknowledgement of their applause.
Others have commented that the performance by Nina Simone should be considered the "gold" standard for this song. Until recently, I had never watched her performance, but have now done so. They just cannot be compared, for Angelina's arrangement is totally different
Who is Phillip?
@@paulschmehl2124 My apologies, Paul. My brain must have had a very senior moment.
… Even if I keep repeating myself...nobody sings this song better than Angelina...nobody!! I can't find the words to describe how perfectly it is sung!! So perfect... world class... the orchestra is also sensational!! ✨💎✨ Thank you
Great reaction. Angelina is a miracle. 👍♥️
Best rendition of this song ever !!!
I think that Angelina skipped the 6th grade when she moved more permanently to the U.S. Perhaps one other Angels knows for sure.
Well...now you know why someone encouraged you to listen to this one! 😄
I love your channel and of course Angelina she is just the best❤
Thank you so much.
Thanks for cleaning up the air before your reaction - there always a few who complaint about whatever.
As for this performance: This is a 5th grader but on the other hand it's a seasoned pro in her 4th year on TV stages.
This is a charity event benefitting Plan international Norway, a Norwegian Charity supporting children. It is called "The Stream gir tilbake (= gives back)" because finalists from “The Stream” (Norwegian TV song contest similar to “American Idol” or “The Voice”) performed there, along with established Norwegian artists, among them Angelina.
The event took place on Friday 30 December 2016 and has been broadcast live on TV 2 Norway from the event hall at Chateau Neuf Oslo (1,400 seats), so Angelina was still 10yo but very shy of her 11th bday on Jan 10th.
She created her rendition when 9yo together with Avicii for his Volvo advertising campaign and performed it before, e.g. on her 2015 Chistmas concert in a famous Jazz club in Oslo (so a 4th grader still).
Relax, the intro is probably aiming for some kind of halo effect. It ends the moment the song starts.
Watching this little 10-year old sing her heart out AND capturing the very soul of everyone watching is something special, especially considering the fact that Angelina (the prodigy "boss") will have arranged most of it herself!
What I always find most endearing in these early videos is watching her to the very end: We can actually SEE her coming out of her music mode and quietly revert to being just an unassuming little girl!
The main worry is that she is now in 'Murica, having signed up with an 'Murican record label, having left her safe and secure Norwegian roots. How many young stars have we seen go bonkers in that kind of environment?
Fortunately Angelina has a family Shield, she was raised properly in a level-headed society (Norway) and seems to have her head sensibly screwed on. Just consider the barefoot issue! It will take A LOT to ruin that kind of mentality.
Trust me. There will be those who see dollar signs and will try to get their mitts on her.
I just love your reactions, thank you so much! 🤟💕
Thank you so much!!
Great reaction and keep on praying, Jesus is the only way to the Father, God Bless!
Querido irmão,
Deus seja louvado por sua vida! Agradeço suas orações e peço que persevere nisso... eu, particularmente, e meu marido, precisamos das orações dos irmãos, e as suas são preciosas para nós, que cuidamos, há mais de 20 anos, de mais de 150 gatos, que foram um dia abandonados, com recursos que advém de verdadeiro milagre, pois não temos fonte de renda... servimos a Deus e nosso sustento vem de doações de pessoas (poucas) que se compadecem dos animais. Portanto, vivemos porque Deus nos sustenta! Deste modo, as orações são muito benvindas. Obrigada!
Você é amável e não são justas as críticas. Creio que fez bem em rechaçá-las.
Que Deus o abençoe ricamente!🙏🏻
Um abraço apertado,
Lili
Um abraço apertado para você e seu marido.

Hi Paul, Can you react to angelina jordans cover of always on my mind please ? She performed it as a tribute to her grandfather that passed. She was twelve . Its very heart warming. Thanks Paul.
I wouldn't recommend that performance. First of all it's just a quarter of the song, and she can't resist and she bursts out crying. In my opinion it's not a nice video to react to someone that cries. Try to be in her shoes and think about it. Watching it off camera would be okay.
Does she have another performance of the same song? Or only the one?
@@paulschmehl2124 nope, only the one. You can do it if you'd like that. I wouldn't recommend it. She has "Can't help falling in love" that would be good. God Bless Paul 🙏🏻
@@paulschmehl2124 The video in question is placed by Angelina herself on her own official cover channel, so IMHO intended to be seen by everyone and I can't see any reason not to react to it. It's a tribute to her grandpa, who passed away shortly before this video was recorded, and what she did there reveals a lot about her as a person that no other performance of the same song would.
@@paulwagner9303 This is just an opinion, Angelina uploading it on her channel meant that she shares it with her fans. Reusing it to make a reaction is different, it's like celebrating a tough moment in her life. Maybe I'm wrong it's just an opinion. God bless 🙏🏻
The filming with the light behind AJ made it look kinda cool, I think thats why they did it in that shot. But im not sure, maybe it was just AJ who moved her head a little.
I love your reactions, please react to Angelina's cover of Born to Die by Lana del Ray
