Hallo Ceci, This was on Skavlan, a talk-show sent in both Norway and Sweden. She was 12 years old here and has of course written this song herself. When I heard this song on Television for the first time, I was blown away. You just know that she will be GREAT❤
The song you were thinking of is the Baby Fuzz song "I'm Still Holding Out For You", and it's no wonder. This song had the same producers/coworkers: Aksel Carlson, Ronny Janssen, and Frida Amundsen.
Thanks Ceci💐, Had great anticipations for your reactions for this fabulous AJ original. As always you bring out an awareness to us, the Angie legion, of the intricacies and beautiful nuances of Angelina’s performances. You are a cherished treasure to us!!! 🌹
The lyrics are deeply personal about her own life so far. Supporting a talented kid is a huge burden for any family - hence "Forgive me for what I am". And when she got viral with Norways Got Talent - the struggle to protect her from that media circus is real. After NGT the family was swarmed by music label execs from LA offering "insane amounts of money" (her uncle/managers words). We all know what that industry does to kids. Earlier or later they are discarded like a broken doll, most utterly broken. Her family didnt sell her off though, they declined all offers including Disney. Her mum also made sure she stayed primarily a kid and had a mostly normal childhood. And she made sure she never was unsupervised and nobody could put a hand on her. Her mum did a good job to shield her from the risks of her situation as a child star.
Before Angelina's performance there was a short interview where they asked if she felt like a 12 year old girl. Angelina's answer "I feel like 12 years old when I look at my passport" 😅😅 BTW, I love these quiet crackles that are reminiscent of old vinyl records. ✌😎✌💯 *AJ* 💯🎙
Yes, I understand why this reminds you of I’m Still Holding Out for You. We get slow and somber lyrics followed by a higher and more energetic chorus that’s very, very catchy. We get different sides of Angelina’s voice and the effects she pulls out of her vocal toolkit so easily. We’re so used to Angelina’s talent that it’s easy to overlook the depth, power and resonance she can give us-at twelve years old. And I like the sentiment of this song that recognizes the importance of her family that encourages and protects her simultaneously. (You’re singing that chorus at the end of your reaction. I told you it was catchy.)
Sadly, i took french in school, but i could listen to you talk about angelina for hours; your enthusiasm is easy to interpret! Thank you, cheers from michigan!
Happy Sunday CECI, this is Angelina at 12 yrs old singing after a TV interview. The interviewer said that she doesn't sound like a 12 yr old and asked her if she feels like a 12 yr old in which she said that she only feels like 12 when she looks at her passport. Lol, this girl is amazing, special. Our BAREFOOT PRINCESS 💞 Thank you and have a great Sunday 💞💞💞
Beautiful reaction as usual Ceci,thank you.I'm not surprised by Angelina's shyness onstage before or after she sings.She obviously has great stage presence and as she grows older she will feel more comfortable interacting with adult audiences.When there have been numerous children in the audience she seems much more interactive,waving and such.Like everything Angelina does she is developing naturally over time,unfolding her considerable potentials.
Angelina, aged 12, with this big voice, sings this original song beautifully for our delight! She surprises with each new song, she goes wherever she wants with her incredible performances! Thanks Ceci for your brilliant reaction!
In the interview prior to this performance she said her inspiration for the song came from the Bond films. The host of the show asked to sing one of the songs and of course Angelina delivered.
Thank you for a great reaction. I think I am going to learn Spanish by watching your reactions! I love it. You are beautiful and real, I love how real your readings are. Thank you. Blessings. 🙏
Ceci, como siempre, mil gracias por tu perseverancia y por la sensibilidad que tienes en reaccionar ante nuestra maravillosa princesa. Me encanta la pasión y la conciencia que Angelina tiene al escribir y cantar sus canciones originales, es verdaderamente única.
Si ! I agree with everything you said. (lol) Angelina's original song was telling us how grateful she is to her family for letting her pursue her dream. How wonderful she is. A lovely young lady.
The interview she gave immediately before this performance of Shield is worth seeing. She explains a little about the song and sings a bit of Diamonds are Forever (a capella) too. The interview begins in Norwegian (I believe) and continues in English. Here it is ruclips.net/video/97hjWg4ToRQ/видео.html Thanks Ceci :)
This is an alternative version of the same interview. Lower quality, but longer, and with subtitles for the Norwegian part: ruclips.net/video/3HUQZFSPBNQ/видео.html
My favorites things on Sunday morning. You, Angelina and coffee. She wrote this for her mother. It another song is so over looked. There is a long version somewhere. Your the best CeCi. Thank you.
Another amazing song she wrote herself she has a bool full of them from a young age what is life is another one she wrote about her life its reminds me of an old blues song give it a listen ceci
I believe she was 11 or 12 years old and she wrote and recorded this and yes this is a live TV appearance. There is also an interview right before she performed this song as well.
la voz angelical y la actuación de Angelina y tu belleza y tu presencia y tu análisis y tu reacción y tu dulzura, son gotas de miel cada noche cuando busco tus videos
Hola Ceci, this song is Angelinas way to thank her family for always having her back and shielding her from all harmfull influences and people growing up. As you know by now AJ is the sole driving force behind her own career. This drive of AJ:s most likely sometimes clashed with her mothers intent to let Angelina have a normal childhood. So her mom must have had to try to slow her talented daughter down a little from time to time. The family life has also to a great extent centered around Angelinas singing career thru the years. So in this song she seems to asks her family to forgive her for being so driven. Or at least that is my take on the meaning behind the lyric "forgive me for all that I am" in this song. But I may be wrong about that, so if any of you other angels in the comment section know any different, please tell me.👍 Great reaction as always Ceci, thank you.😊❤
As far as I understand, you nailed this, Akersjon. Angelina, even at this young age, knows how demanding following up on her career is for her family, every one of them. That is the most reasonable way to explain the sentence Angelina put into this song. This song was co-written and produced for and by her, so it was a team effort between Angelina, Aksel Carlson, Ronny Janssen and Frida Amundsen. They started on this a very short time after they did the demo of "I`m still holding out for you". Stay safe, my Angel friend 👍😊
bueno Ceci..no lo comentaste pero es muy valorable el hecho que ella es la autora de la letra y música de esta canción..es un original precioso sobre todo por el significado de la letra sobre todo al estar dedicado a Dios. Una apertura tremenda de su corazón en ésta canción teniendo en cuenta que tiene doce años en ésta presentación.
HOLA NUESTRA HERMOSA CECI ...SI PENSAMOS QUE TE HABÍAS OLVIDADO...AL MENOS ES LO QUE PENSAMOS LOS QUE TE SEGUIMOS DESDE ARGENTINA 😁😁😁🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤CON RESPECTO A LO DE ANGELINA ...TENÍA TAN SOLO 12 AÑITOS ES UNA GENIAAAAA TREMENDA VOZ E INTERPRETACION ES PERFECTA...Y NO SOLO ATRAE SU GRAN TALENTO SINO SU GRAN HUMILDAD...FELICIDADES..ANGELINA 😇👣💯💯💥😁🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hay personas especiales y superdotadas. Angelina Jordan es una de ellas....una artista enbtoda la extensión de la palabea. Ceci tu eres otra..... Que oido, conocimiento, sensibilidad.... No cualquiera siente así la musica....
Hi! Thank you for another great reaction by our #1. It was so nice to see you on screen today in the middle of our holiday. See you soon. Ron from California USA
I hope so too. It's bound to happen sooner or later. Besides Shield, her latest song at 17 years of age, Love Don't Let Me Go, could also easily be a Bond song. Will wait to see and hear what her other songs from her soon to be released EP and album will sound like. This is a very exciting time for Angelina and her Angels around the world.
I like this song... James Bond vibe 👍 Love the lyrics... which little girl writes.. forgive me for all I am 😳... I believe Angelina is an introvert human being, I have seen that somewhere, and from all the videos I have seen from this Wonderchild, it shows ❤ I love her humble, loving presence ❤ Have an amazing day, Ceci 👍
Ceci, thank you for all of your analysis of Angelina’s vocals. She has such a beautiful voice and I respect how you break down every nuance in Angelina’s vocals. Angelina has such a jazzy, bluesy voice that is silky smooth and velvety soft.
Kevin Neal I am sure others will fill you in on the details of this song. I believe she co-wrote this with two other people. I am not positive who wrote the lyrics but I feel the lyrics are from Angelina as she is referring to her family.
I think that the key part here is the co-writing part. She does not deny this, nor should she. Her entire life has been about collaboration. Of course I agree that she has a less is more voice, never needing more than a guitar or piano collaboration. But there is real magic about her ability to work with a band or orchestra that gives me goosebumps!
Para mi, me fascina que es una de sus canciones originales .. y se me párese como un reso. Me toca profundamente. Creo que tiene 13 años aquí .. posiblemente 14. Lo esta cantando por un grupo de profesionales .. like producers and agents .. posiblemente de la agencia donde ella esta ya. Creo que SHIELD es mi favorita de sus canciones. MILLION MILES también me gusta .. y 7th HEAVEN. jajaja .. son casi todas! Pero esta es especial .. y se me parece muy personal y sincera. Gracias, Ceci .. por tu reacción. I also believe she herself led the creation of the background music .. not sure who with .. but it was what she wanted for her song.
Thanks Ceci had not noticed the similarities to the song "Above The Water" , there is a very nice interview prior to this performance where Angelina is asked by the TV host Skavlan about this song, and she explains the meaning and says yes she wrote these lyrics her self, which is very evident if one knows the heart of Angelina. There is also a very powerful symbolic music video of her running along a railroad track with her outfit of many colors holding some flowers in her hand with shoes on and then she come out from under the railroad now wearing a sort of tattered white peasant looking dress with a rough cord around it and now she is barefoot. The flowers she was carrying along with tattered pieces of fragments of material of the colors from what look likes the clothes she was wearing in the first scene, are adorned on a cross, /she walks up to the cross and kisses it , behind the cross is a mound of dirt that looks like something has just been buried and put to rest. She hangs on to the cross as wind blows it and a train roars by and she, still hanging on to the cross with one hand jumps up and down waving frantically at it as it passes by in full speed, The next scene she is knelling down by a little fire and seems to be putting something into it all around her and the fire is what looks like money strewn about . She seems to be putting this into the fire to be burned up. The symbolism of this video are incredible ,one could a book just on the video alone with out even contemplating the lyrics to the song ,add the lyrics and this is a masterpiece of creative genius . Some comments say these words where written for her family ,however , With due respect to everyone's opinion , ( here is another perspective for this song of what and who these words of Shield may have been penned and written for and about). Some of these words could be about her Mother and family, however Angelina has never herself claimed as of yet that they are penned exclusively for her family. Here is the only quote from Angelina during a tv interview I have found, where she says what this song is about, Quote; " It is about , some one you love , where ever you are , a strong love , protects you", unquote. if it had been written solely as a tribute to her Mother and family, as humble loving and honest as Angelina is I surely believe she would have made it clear at that time in a public interview, before she sang it. However ,she left it ambiguous, as this song is more as a prayer to some one who will protect and look out for her forever, Mothers and family are not here forever to protect as her song says.
This verse of the song seems to refer to an eternal protector , ("please let my shelter' for 'ever 'hold"). Family are not here forever . This line could very well about her mother, Grandmother ,and family," keep me from danger don't leave me to soon". This line refers to a spiritual protector, "surround me with Angels don't let them go". Family can not complete that prayer in that line , only God can do that. I have watched every interview by her and so far she has never claimed they are written solely for her Mother and family. If some one has seen an interview where she makes this claim, that I have missed please give the reference , would love to see it. Most people commenting seem to know very little of spiritual words she has used in this song. . I fell confident that if she wrote a song about her mother as a tribute it would not have the spiritual meanings this one has , and she would surely would not hesitate in giving that duet honor to her Mother ,Grandmother and family members. The words to this song are very deep for a young girl to have penned and yet she said she wrote them , they are difficult to put them as tribute only to her mother or family if you know anything of spiritual matters. These words line up perfectly with scripture. Most people commenting on this one seem to know very little of spiritual words. Some one has has probably posted their opinion that this was a tribute to her mother and others have adopted it as a fact. Either way , it is an awesome song for a young girl to have written and arranged. The scripture verses below give the foundation for this song very clearly: Deuteronomy 33:29 Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the Lord, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places. Deuteronomy 9:3 Understand therefore this day, that the Lord thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming "fire" he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the Lord hath said unto thee. Psalm 91:11 For he shall give his "angels charge over thee', to keep thee in all thy ways. Hebrews 12: 29 For our God is a consuming" fire".
Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and "find grace to help in time of need". Psalm 61; 1.2.3 1" Hear my cry, O God"; attend unto my prayer. 2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. 3 For" thou hast been a shelter" for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, ' I will never leave thee", nor forsake thee. ( "Shield" song words penned by Angelina: you are right there always right there) All of her words line up with scripture in a very artistic and special way.." Cheers and Saluda!!
I love this potential 'Bond' theme from Angelina. Written about her family how they protect her from the music industry sharks and also asking forgiveness for the burden her talent and ambition has been on the family. Very observant of you to pick up on Angelina providing her own backing vocals, not a lot of reactors hear it, that's why you're the best Ceci. Big thumbs up as always.
Always beautiful hand gestures. Watch her performance of STAY for wonderful hand story telling. There is so much to appreciate with Angelina, Sight and sound.
As always, Ceci, you give such an informative review and reaction. I so enjoy it when you describe her vocal range for a particular song. I enjoy watching and listening to you. I too love the expression with her hands. 🌸
hi ceci thanks for your great reaction, and you look extra good today with your loose hair, please stay tuned because there is still a lot to discover angelina
Te solicito que consideres hacer una tecni-reaccion de "Song for A”, interpretada por Angelina a los 13 años. ruclips.net/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/видео.html: es la única canción en el álbum de Nico Cartosio “Melting” que contempla vocalización por una cantante; las demás son puramente instrumentales. Cartosio escribió esta canción específicamente para Angelina. Esta hermosa canción se basa en el poema de 1783 “The rigs of barley”, del poeta escocés Robert Burns (1759-1796).
It reminds me of THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH performed by Shirley Manson & Garbage, which is a band that uses flattened lyrics that explode into crescendo choruses. But this is a great example of the obvious "arrangement skills" where Angelina can write on her piano, discover effects and incorporate those, then have the 3 bandmates perform them.
Estoy contigo otra vez, Cecil. No te voy a negar que me gustan mucho tus examenes de las interpretaciones musicales de Angelina, aunque yo estoy concienciado de que ella es insuperable; sencillamente insuperable. Ella esz unica,..!XRHO.,
Hola Ceci, que hermosa reaccion, 12 añitos, cancion propia, y una letra increible, en una parte le pide ** perdoname por lo que soy ** a su familia, es por todo lo que hacen por su sueño, a mi me parece algo hermoso, tan a tierra, humilde, que una niña le escriba eso a su familia, debe ser hermoso, al principio cuando la conoci, Angelina me parecia especial por como canta, y con el pasar del tiempo, me di cuenta que ella es especial y lo traslada a la musica, ya estoy seguro de eso, ***** IMPORTANTE ***** Hay una cancion que creo que no reaccionaste que es otra obra de arte, Angelina Jordan - I know im not the only one (SAM SMITH) ruclips.net/video/_mijvWJlmLA/видео.html ahi tenes para analizar mucho y es una de las que mas me gusta, ya te abre escrito esto muchas veces jajajaja, como siemrpe muchas gracias Ceci y hasta la proxima, saludos...
It's very dramatic when she makes wide interval jumps from a chest voice to her head voice but the thing that's amazing is that she lands on the high note in perfect pitch at a belting volume. It's like a right hook that you don't see coming. If you don't do it perfectly it could be such a disaster in a live performance that I imagine many singers just wouldn't have the chops or the courage to take the risk. It's like watching a high wire act working without a net.
Imbedded in the sound waves, is "Vocal-Joy" and those waves shower you with Joy. Everyone should be, showered in love and Joy "Showered" That's part of the Orchestra of Angelina Jordan, the girl that makes us cry?
Holaaa saludos 🇲🇽Ceci gracias por complacernos con nuestro ángel de los pies descalzos como bien la bautisaste 👍👍 Nota aparte: ‼️‼️hoy te ves guapísima ‼️‼️‼️🤩🤩me encantó tu look💯😎💯
The thing that impresses me the most is that at 12 years old she realizes what a burden she is putting on her family like she said in the song forgive me for all that I am and she wrote it herself CC you are magnificent I love your reactions
Thank you for another good reaction. She was 12 years old here, and not å small girl.... så you could see one year later in Amerika got talent, she has the same height as Heidi klum- almost 180 cm tall... not å small girl anymore...
Ceci, a great work as always. Some of the details that you noticed on the first listen, and even more on the second listen, are what set you apart by miles from others reactors I watch with some frequency. You are honestly the best and I hope that Angelina continues to grow in a positive manner. You are absolutely correct that Angie is really a shy and introverted young woman. This not a bad thing, it is just a thing. She does not have to change this significant aspect of her personality in order to be a successful stage and recording artist. If you look at some successful artists who may be more extroverted, their paths to success have not been less difficult. Angelina is very important and special. Her goals of being a successful singer, member of a loving family, and a person who gives even more than she receives are already happening. Bless you Ceci and bless our Angie.
"...TO-DO!!" 😆😆😆😂😂 Yo comprendo! I hear you Ceci. This is why you are loved so much, by me at least! It has all the markings of a Bond song to me. I want to see that so much!! You are so right about her hands, and she is so expressive with minimal effort with them. Adios Amiga. All the best!
Você conhece uma cantora chamada KARISE EDEN .Se não ,queria ver a sua reação em uma apresentação que ela fez no THE VOICE AUSTRALIA .tenho certeza que você é todos do canal vao se surpreender!!!! Abraço
Hola Señora Ceci, I don't know if you have read her "Live story" by Rusty one Andy. AJ tried to sing WHITNEY HOUSTON when 18 months old. At 4 she entered the Academy of Music and Performing Arts Oslo by her own insistent. When 6 she visited the normal Waldorf School Oslo And did the "After school program" of the Academy. So you see she had already some experience at 7. When she was 11 there was an emergency fundraiser concert with Nora Jones in Seoul/Korea, and she was asked, if she wanted to sing before Nora. She did so, in front of an audience of more than 40.000 people. After finishing her performance, it seems the crowd went wild and wanted an encore of AJ. Gracias señora Ceci. Stay save and healthy. Greetings from Germany.
Ceci, Ola 👋 First of all ,let me say you are looking even more gorgeous today and I so look forward to all of your AJ's critiques. For this song, do you think it also has a James Bond theme song 'feel' about it? Many of her admirers feel strongly about this and since you admire Angelina's artistry so much and give such an honest assessment I thought you'd be the ideal person to ask .
Hola 😊 Here is a link to the interview with Angelina before she performed the song. She talks a little about what music that inspired the song. 😊 I hope you enjoy 😊
Only 12 years old here. Personally it does not remind me of the other song you mentioned, and they were written by two totally different people. Angelina wrote this one, while the other was written by baby fuzz.
As mentioned by someone a little earlier in these comments Ron, both songs had the same producers/coworkers: Aksel Carlson, Ronny Janssen, and Frida Amundsen. And I believe that team of individuals also sometimes share "writing" credits with the artists they work with. As a matter of fact, I just checked on Spotify and the three individuals I just named are indeed listed along with Angelina as the writers of Shield. (I'm pretty certain the same is true on the Baby Fuzz track but I didn't take the time to check that one.)
David Paley I just read Yoznik v Tumane , a regular contributor of Angelina's work , allude to the same 3 producers that she collaborated with on "I'm Still Holding Out for You"
@@ronraskind No problem. Just trying to keep the record straight. All the co-writers deserve their share of the credit is what I figure. Have a great day my friend.

Supporting a talented kid is a huge burden for any family - hence "Forgive me for what I am". And when she got viral with Norways Got Talent - the struggle to protect her from that media circus is real.
After NGT the family was swarmed by music label execs from LA offering "insane amounts of money" (her uncle/managers words). We all know what that industry does to kids. Earlier or later they are discarded like a broken doll, most utterly broken. Her family didnt sell her off though, they declined all offers including Disney. Her mum also made sure she stayed primarily a kid and had a mostly normal childhood. And she made sure she never was unsupervised and nobody could put a hand on her.

Wonderful comments about her very living and protective family. So many families dont exercise such protective love.

"Shyness" might be more of a certain Humility as she converses with those much older than she. Nothing wrong with that.
Angelina, aged 12, with this big voice, sings this original song beautifully for our delight!

Hi Ceci, what amazes me about AJ is that for someone so young her song writing and composing is wise and intelligent.
Ceci, como siempre, mil gracias por tu perseverancia y por la sensibilidad que tienes en reaccionar ante nuestra maravillosa princesa. Me encanta la pasión y la conciencia que Angelina tiene al escribir y cantar sus canciones originales, es verdaderamente única.
Angelina was 12 when she wrote and performed this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This could be a James Bond theme song. I can see it now opening of a new James Bond movie and her singing this in the opening credits.
YESSSS
@@CECIDOVER she did say in her interview she got the idea for the sound of this song from a BOND film .
Si ! I agree with everything you said. (lol)

Hi! Thank you for another great reaction by our #1. It was so nice to see you on screen today in the middle of our holiday. See you soon.
Ron from California USA
Her voice is so perfect for this melody. I hope in the future she will be asked to sing James Bond theme song.
I hope so too. It's bound to happen sooner or later. Besides Shield, her latest song at 17 years of age, Love Don't Let Me Go, could also easily be a Bond song. Will wait to see and hear what her other songs from her soon to be released EP and album will sound like. This is a very exciting time for Angelina and her Angels around the world.
Súper interpretación lo hace a uno viajar 😃🙃😉🙏👍❤
Thank you again! I really like these technical analysis of yours❤️👍
I like this song... James Bond vibe 👍 Love the lyrics... which little girl writes.. forgive me for all I am 😳... I believe Angelina is an introvert human being, I have seen that somewhere, and from all the videos I have seen from this Wonderchild, it shows ❤ I love her humble, loving presence ❤ Have an amazing day, Ceci 👍
Mamma mia!!!!Assolutamente incredibile!!!!Capolavoro!!!!
Hola Ceci , el tema es de ella 12 años tenía en ese momento , es increíble gracias . Sdos 🇦🇷
Nice reaction as always Ceci and btw NICE hair 👍🤩
Hello Ceci, wonderful reaction and analysis as usual. Angelina wrote this about her mother, who protects her.
¡ Ceci, es hermosa la cancion, y es su autora...Increíble, con 12 años. Gracias mí Niña, por quererla tanto !. (ArgentinA).
Ceci muy lindo tu look. No te olvides de considerar "ALWAY ON MY MIND " Por Angelina Jordan .Gracias totales, desde Argentina.
Claro que sí!
2 things... Love Angelina Jordan
2.. Eva Cassidy over the rainbow ... Would love to see you react and Angelina do this song
Ceci, thank you for all of your analysis of Angelina’s vocals. She has such a beautiful voice and I respect how you break down every nuance in Angelina’s vocals. Angelina has such a jazzy, bluesy voice that is silky smooth and velvety soft.
Muy buena reacción Ceci.
Espero la siguiente reacción de más canciones de Angelina.

I am sure others will fill you in on the details of this song. I believe she co-wrote this with two other people. I am not positive who wrote the lyrics but I feel the lyrics are from Angelina as she is referring to her family.
I think that the key part here is the co-writing part. She does not deny this, nor should she. Her entire life has been about collaboration. Of course I agree that she has a less is more voice, never needing more than a guitar or piano collaboration. But there is real magic about her ability to work with a band or orchestra that gives me goosebumps!
Buenísimoooo!!!! CECIIII... Angelina Jordan de vuelta con vos!!! me encantaaa!!! GRACIAS....
Para mi, me fascina que es una de sus canciones originales .. y se me párese como un reso. Me toca profundamente. Creo que tiene 13 años aquí .. posiblemente 14. Lo esta cantando por un grupo de profesionales .. like producers and agents .. posiblemente de la agencia donde ella esta ya. Creo que SHIELD es mi favorita de sus canciones. MILLION MILES también me gusta .. y 7th HEAVEN. jajaja .. son casi todas! Pero esta es especial .. y se me parece muy personal y sincera. Gracias, Ceci .. por tu reacción. I also believe she herself led the creation of the background music .. not sure who with .. but it was what she wanted for her song.
Thanks Ceci had not noticed the similarities to the song "Above The Water" , there is a very nice interview prior to this performance where Angelina is asked by the TV host Skavlan about this song, and she explains the meaning and says yes she wrote these lyrics her self, which is very evident if one knows the heart of Angelina.
There is also a very powerful symbolic music video of her running along a railroad track with her outfit of many colors holding some flowers in her hand with shoes on and then she come out from under the railroad now wearing a sort of tattered white peasant looking dress with a rough cord around it and now she is barefoot.
The flowers she was carrying along with tattered pieces of fragments of material of the colors from what look likes the clothes she was wearing in the first scene, are adorned on a cross, /she walks up to the cross and kisses it , behind the cross is a mound of dirt that looks like something has just been buried and put to rest.
She hangs on to the cross as wind blows it and a train roars by and she, still hanging on to the cross with one hand jumps up and down waving frantically at it as it passes by in full speed,
The next scene she is knelling down by a little fire and seems to be putting something into it all around her and the fire is what looks like money strewn about . She seems to be putting this into the fire to be burned up.
The symbolism of this video are incredible ,one could a book just on the video alone with out even contemplating the lyrics to the song ,add the lyrics and this is a masterpiece of creative genius .
Some comments say these words where written for her family ,however , With due respect to everyone's opinion , ( here is another perspective for this song of what and who these words of Shield may have been penned and written for and about).
Some of these words could be about her Mother and family, however Angelina has never herself claimed as of yet that they are penned exclusively for her family.
Here is the only quote from Angelina during a tv interview I have found, where she says what this song is about, Quote; " It is about , some one you love , where ever you are , a strong love , protects you", unquote. if it had been written solely as a tribute to her Mother and family, as humble loving and honest as Angelina is I surely believe she would have made it clear at that time in a public interview, before she sang it. However ,she left it ambiguous, as this song is more as a prayer to some one who will protect and look out for her forever, Mothers and family are not here forever to protect as her song says.
This verse of the song seems to refer to an eternal protector , ("please let my shelter' for 'ever 'hold"). Family are not here forever .
This line could very well about her mother, Grandmother ,and family," keep me from danger don't leave me to soon".
This line refers to a spiritual protector, "surround me with Angels don't let them go". Family can not complete that prayer in that line , only God can do that.
I have watched every interview by her and so far she has never claimed they are written solely for her Mother and family. If some one has seen an interview where she makes this claim, that I have missed please give the reference , would love to see it. Most people commenting seem to know very little of spiritual words she has used in this song. . I fell confident that if she wrote a song about her mother as a tribute it would not have the spiritual meanings this one has , and she would surely would not hesitate in giving that duet honor to her Mother ,Grandmother and family members.
The words to this song are very deep for a young girl to have penned and yet she said she wrote them , they are difficult to put them as tribute only to her mother or family if you know anything of spiritual matters. These words line up perfectly with scripture. Most people commenting on this one seem to know very little of spiritual words. Some one has has probably posted their opinion that this was a tribute to her mother and others have adopted it as a fact. Either way , it is an awesome song for a young girl to have written and arranged.
The scripture verses below give the foundation for this song very clearly:
Deuteronomy 33:29 Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the Lord, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.
Deuteronomy 9:3 Understand therefore this day, that the Lord thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming "fire" he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the Lord hath said unto thee.
Psalm 91:11 For he shall give his "angels charge over thee', to keep thee in all thy ways.
Hebrews 12: 29 For our God is a consuming" fire".
Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and "find grace to help in time of need".
Psalm 61; 1.2.3 1" Hear my cry, O God"; attend unto my prayer.
2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 For" thou hast been a shelter" for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said,
' I will never leave thee", nor forsake thee.
( "Shield" song words penned by Angelina: you are right there always right there)
All of her words line up with scripture in a very artistic and special way.."
Cheers and Saluda!!
12 years old here!!! And thank you!
I love this potential 'Bond' theme from Angelina. Written about her family how they protect her from the music industry sharks and also asking forgiveness for the burden her talent and ambition has been on the family. Very observant of you to pick up on Angelina providing her own backing vocals, not a lot of reactors hear it, that's why you're the best Ceci. Big thumbs up as always.
Always beautiful hand gestures. Watch her performance of STAY for wonderful hand story telling. There is so much to appreciate with Angelina, Sight and sound.
Your reactions to Angelina are incredible. I really love watching you Ceci.
Esta chica tiene una voz increible.
Un video genial.
Saludos enormes
Muchas gracias
Muy buena interpretacion tenia 12 años👏👏👏
Me facina la sigo desde su inicio y algo tiene que te deja con ganas de seguir escuchándola saludos desde Torreón México 🌹😘
Éxito en todo, todos tus vídeos me encantan y gracias a ti conocí a Angelina Jordan y ahora me encanta. Gracias
As always, Ceci, you give such an informative review and reaction. I so enjoy it when you describe her vocal range for a particular song. I enjoy watching and listening to you. I too love the expression with her hands. 🌸
Hola ceci querida!!!!! Me gusta mucho Angelina!!!!! Gracias por tu trabajo te quiero ceci!!!!! Ana de Argentina

Mucias gracias Ceci. 💓💓
Gracias a ti!
❤️ your reaction 👍😊
Дорогая Сеси Вы очаровательны!Когда будем смотреть Ваши фотоснимки?Анжелина чудесно поет.Звезда мировой величины!!!Спасибо!👍😍😇🇷🇺💗🇪🇸
И главное Анджелина сама написала эту песню
Te solicito que consideres hacer una tecni-reaccion de "Song for A”, interpretada por Angelina a los 13 años. ruclips.net/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/видео.html: es la única canción en el álbum de Nico Cartosio “Melting” que contempla vocalización por una cantante; las demás son puramente instrumentales. Cartosio escribió esta canción específicamente para Angelina. Esta hermosa canción se basa en el poema de 1783 “The rigs of barley”, del poeta escocés Robert Burns (1759-1796).
Hi Adolfo. Actually she recorded it with Nico when she was 12. Released when she was 13.
It reminds me of THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH performed by Shirley Manson & Garbage, which is a band that uses flattened lyrics that explode into crescendo choruses. But this is a great example of the obvious "arrangement skills" where Angelina can write on her piano, discover effects and incorporate those, then have the 3 bandmates perform them.
Estoy contigo otra vez, Cecil. No te voy a negar que me gustan mucho tus examenes de las interpretaciones musicales de Angelina, aunque yo estoy concienciado de que ella es insuperable; sencillamente insuperable. Ella esz unica,..!XRHO.,
Hola Ceci, que hermosa reaccion, 12 añitos, cancion propia, y una letra increible, en una parte le pide ** perdoname por lo que soy ** a su familia, es por todo lo que hacen por su sueño, a mi me parece algo hermoso, tan a tierra, humilde, que una niña le escriba eso a su familia, debe ser hermoso, al principio cuando la conoci, Angelina me parecia especial por como canta, y con el pasar del tiempo, me di cuenta que ella es especial y lo traslada a la musica, ya estoy seguro de eso, ***** IMPORTANTE ***** Hay una cancion que creo que no reaccionaste que es otra obra de arte, Angelina Jordan - I know im not the only one (SAM SMITH) ruclips.net/video/_mijvWJlmLA/видео.html ahi tenes para analizar mucho y es una de las que mas me gusta, ya te abre escrito esto muchas veces jajajaja, como siemrpe muchas gracias Ceci y hasta la proxima, saludos...
It's very dramatic when she makes wide interval jumps from a chest voice to her head voice but the thing that's amazing is that she lands on the high note in perfect pitch at a belting volume. It's like a right hook that you don't see coming. If you don't do it perfectly it could be such a disaster in a live performance that I imagine many singers just wouldn't have the chops or the courage to take the risk. It's like watching a high wire act working without a net.
I would still like to see you do your reaction to Angelina's cover of "Welcome to My World", and thank you for your reactions🤗😊
Imbedded in the sound waves, is "Vocal-Joy" and those waves shower you with Joy. Everyone should be, showered in love and Joy "Showered" That's part of the Orchestra of Angelina Jordan, the girl that makes us cry?
You do the best analyzing I've seen on the net. I need your subtitles to understand but it's great.
Gracias Ceci. Saludos desde Córdoba 🇦🇷
Love to see your reactions Ceci. So knowledgeable, yet so enthusiastic.
Impecável, como sempre! 👏👏👏
Que bueno que te acordaste de Angelina!!! 👏👏👏
Molto,mucio ,very,"Portishead"! Ciao Ceci Brava!
Dear Ceci, adoro tu personalidad. ❤😊
Muy buena, como siempre,
Holaaa saludos 🇲🇽Ceci gracias por complacernos con nuestro ángel de los pies descalzos como bien la bautisaste 👍👍 Nota aparte: ‼️‼️hoy te ves guapísima ‼️‼️‼️🤩🤩me encantó tu look💯😎💯
She has a masterfull teknic, that gives her all posibilities to ekspress every motion.😃 ❤
The thing that impresses me the most is that at 12 years old she realizes what a burden she is putting on her family like she said in the song forgive me for all that I am and she wrote it herself CC you are magnificent I love your reactions
Thank you for another good reaction. She was 12 years old here, and not å small girl.... så you could see one year later in Amerika got talent, she has the same height as Heidi klum- almost 180 cm tall... not å small girl anymore...
As usual Angelina's exquisite... And I can't help but notice your new do is as exquisite as well, very becoming.
Wspaniała Ceci i Angelina. Ceci masz piękne włosy, tak jak Angelina. Pozdrawiam z Polski.
Ceci, a great work as always. Some of the details that you noticed on the first listen, and even more on the second listen, are what set you apart by miles from others reactors I watch with some frequency. You are honestly the best and I hope that Angelina continues to grow in a positive manner. You are absolutely correct that Angie is really a shy and introverted young woman. This not a bad thing, it is just a thing. She does not have to change this significant aspect of her personality in order to be a successful stage and recording artist. If you look at some successful artists who may be more extroverted, their paths to success have not been less difficult. Angelina is very important and special. Her goals of being a successful singer, member of a loving family, and a person who gives even more than she receives are already happening. Bless you Ceci and bless our Angie.
"...TO-DO!!" 😆😆😆😂😂
Yo comprendo!
I hear you Ceci.
This is why you are loved so much, by me at least!
It has all the markings of a Bond song to me.
I want to see that so much!!
You are so right about her hands, and she is so expressive with minimal effort with them.
Adios Amiga.
All the best!
Você conhece uma cantora chamada KARISE EDEN .Se não ,queria ver a sua reação em uma apresentação que ela fez no THE VOICE AUSTRALIA .tenho certeza que você é todos do canal vao se surpreender!!!! Abraço
I Love Angelina
Hola Señora Ceci, I don't know if you have read her "Live story" by Rusty one Andy. AJ tried to sing WHITNEY HOUSTON when 18 months old. At 4 she entered the Academy of Music and Performing Arts Oslo by her own insistent. When 6 she visited the normal Waldorf School Oslo And did the "After school program" of the Academy. So you see she had already some experience at 7. When she was 11 there was an emergency fundraiser concert with Nora Jones in Seoul/Korea, and she was asked, if she wanted to sing before Nora. She did so, in front of an audience of more than 40.000 people. After finishing her performance, it seems the crowd went wild and wanted an encore of AJ. Gracias señora Ceci. Stay save and healthy. Greetings from Germany.
Ceci, Ola 👋
First of all ,let me say you are looking even more gorgeous today and I so look forward to all of your AJ's critiques. For this song, do you think it also has a James Bond theme song 'feel' about it? Many of her admirers feel strongly about this and since you admire Angelina's artistry so much and give such an honest assessment I thought you'd be the ideal person to ask .
Impresionante 😱
Canta muito !!!!!
Hola 😊 Here is a link to the interview with Angelina before she performed the song. She talks a
little about what music that inspired the song. 😊 I hope you enjoy 😊
I think you are referring to the "leaked" demo of the Baby Fuzz song, "I'm Still Holding Out for You".
For her mother her biggest Shield ❤❤
Only 12 years old here. Personally it does not remind me of the other song you mentioned, and they were written by two totally different people. Angelina wrote this one, while the other was written by baby fuzz.
As mentioned by someone a little earlier in these comments Ron, both songs had the same producers/coworkers: Aksel Carlson, Ronny Janssen, and Frida Amundsen. And I believe that team of individuals also sometimes share "writing" credits with the artists they work with. As a matter of fact, I just checked on Spotify and the three individuals I just named are indeed listed along with Angelina as the writers of Shield. (I'm pretty certain the same is true on the Baby Fuzz track but I didn't take the time to check that one.)
David Paley I just read Yoznik v Tumane , a regular contributor of Angelina's work , allude to the same 3 producers that she collaborated with on "I'm Still Holding Out for You"
@@DavidBrianPaley thanks very much for that information. I was totally unaware. So I guess the expert was right LOL.
@@ronraskind No problem. Just trying to keep the record straight. All the co-writers deserve their share of the credit is what I figure. Have a great day my friend.
@@arceliedunn2022 Yeah, I was pretty certain that was the case, but I wasn't absolutely sure. Thanks for the confirmation.
