    I can't stop watching this performance. Not only is her singing both angelic and heartbreaking at the same time, when Angelina opens her mouth and the most effortlessly glorious sound comes forth. That voice echo in my soul. Breathtaking! Her voice is like a hummingbird floating around a feeder: You are hesitant to make a move, or speak a word otherwise it will vanish; it is like vapor appearing before your eyes: once there, all too soon gone. Hypnotic and mesmerizing! just a perfect performance! Thank you for posting this gem.

    Everything you said is accurate... Having followed all the Angelina reactions for a while (like literally ALL of them), I have heard these things said so many times. When she sings the world stops for a minute and you you just fall into the song, and hang on every word. If every time the song is over, and you wish it went on longer... that's the mark of a true artist.
    Thanks for doing more Angelina, Petra! I will be looking forward to the next one :)

    I was having an absolutely miserable day fighting the lingering effects of chemo and was going directly to bed after work but decided I needed an Angelina fix. Her voice is so soothing and comforting and takes me away somewhere else. Thank you for your reaction. After watching her for the last 6 years, I am always blown away by the reactions of the professionals. ♥

    Thank you, Petra for your reaction...it was heartfelt, obviously. For the record (no pun intended) I purchased the LP record album (in 1974), and Yellow Brick Road was my favorite track. As is her habit, Angelina abridged the original and slowed the tempo...and she performed with only a piano! The result is stunning!

    Thank you Petra again for another Angelina reaction! It is always great to see how someone is taken into the song as soon as she starts singing. I've watched this several times and each time it's like the first time! I always get engulfed in her singing no matter what song it is. I've said before that she is a vocal artist in that she uses her voice to paint the song to her liking and then shares that vision with us...she is just amazing! Hope to see your next one soon! Cheers!

  • @jacquespicotte8886
    @jacquespicotte8886 4 года назад +24

    Petra, what do you think of her diction in this song? She developed a way of pronouncing certain words, expressions and, at times, an entire line of the lyrics to give to a song its color and its ornementation.
    She uses that skill with full effect in This is a Man s World.
    For that reason, we should always have in hand or on the screen the lyrics of her songs. In their absence, we miss half of the pleasure we get from her magic and half of the reasons we are justified to say that she makes a song her own.
    Here, did you notice the climax of her performance: with the line the howling old owl in the woods, she vocally imitates the howling of the old owl in the woods from 3:10 to 3:13, and, at the end of that short run, at 3:14, she pronounced the word owl.
    These small details that sometimes remain unnoticed contribute as a whole, in my opinion, to what we can rightfully call the miracle of Angelina.
    Yes, we must give her all the unconditional and unwavering love we have for her as she is, instead of that conditional love we have for what she does.

    Thank you for doing another reaction to Angelina Jordan. She did an amazing job with this old song. She didn’t WIN AGT Champions but she had a performance on the grand finally with two other artist singing «someone you loved» by Lewis capaldi anf the two others artist there was a violin player called tyler figaroa and a sand artist called simonova that is worth reacting too.

      I'll respond to you ! I discovered Angelina in 2014 at her audition and I was blown away with her amazing voice ! There hasn't been a day since that I haven't listened to her , I'm 63 now and I gotta say in all my years of listening to many different genres of music that this girl can take any of them on and do them justice ! And just to put the icing on the cake as the saying goes she a humanitarian too ! How many kids her age do you know that donate millions of dollars to those in need ? The positives about her are extremely rare these days and I find her to be my favorite singer and a hopeful role model for other kids to emulate ! Have a great day and go Angelina !!

    Thank you for another Angelina reaction. The more I listen to her rendition of "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road," the more I love it. Her voice here is just so rich and beautiful. I honestly think her singing and her artistry were just too subtle and nuanced for the 'superfans' on AGT Champions to understand. She is in a class all by herself.

    One of the delightful things about new mothers is how their new found confidence enables them to express a fuller range of emotion as can be seen when 10,000 Japanese, a majority of whom are women sing Beethoven's Ode to Joy in the RUclips video entitled "10000 Japanese singing Beethoven's Ode to Joy in Osaka Japan-Oda a la alegria". The Japanese have been singing this song since World War One when German prisoners of war taught them how to perform it. Swedish Princess Spfia who volunteered to help in a Swedish hospital treating coronavirus patients used this tune as the recessional at her wedding.

    Glad to see you back , Glad you doing okay now. In case you have not heard this or knew much about her background , . here is video with a short history of Angelina's journey to this point in her life. At point 1;53 on this video there is clip of her at about 1.5 years old holding a microphone almost as big as she is and trying to sing a Whitney Huston song. There is no "twinkle twinkle little star " kiddie song for this princess of song. ( ruclips.net/video/4EPqVvliE7I/видео.html )
    With just a few short years as child singer she has attained the status as professional master Class vocal artist, and can sing and perform any genre of music sing any song and 99% of the time perfect the song and sing it better than the original artist singer. She can, in my opinion, rightly Claim the title of Queen of Vocalist artist ( with a gentle humble giving spirit as great as her voice) right now and she is just getting started in her career as a world wide adored and loved singer by people of every age group.

    Petra, I am a 66 year old man. People of my generation have been witness to the best music ever! The 3 best female singers of the last 50 years of the 20th century arguably were Barbra Streisand, Karen Carpenter and Celine Dion! I feel that the 3 best of the first 50 of the 21st will be Jackie Evancho, Angelina Jordan and Diana Ankudinova! Don't get me wrong, there are many great young female singers today, but I believe that these 3 will have longer and more successful careers. If you have not heard Jackie Evancho or Diana Ankudinova, don't procrastinate. Also I don't know if you do reactions to instrumentalists, but 2 that you need to check out are 11 year old violinist Karolina Protsenko from California and saxophonist Daniele Vitale from Naples Italy. Separately they are fantastic. But they have done 2 online duets together and magnificent! Please check them out.

    Please make a reaction to a young, very popular singer in world. Videos from this singer collect hundreds of millions of views. This girl is now only 16 years old. She has a very unique, very deep, clear voice.
    Dr. Marc Reynolds (Voice Teacher, Stage Director, Performance Coach and Consultant, and Acting Coach) said about the performance of this girl:
    Really really exceptional! Even if you ignore her age, even is she was 10, 20, 30 years older, this is still a really exceptional performer here that we're seeing. But at her age, unbelievable. Really really exceptional! Absolutely gorgeous! And again, not just because of her voice, because her performing, watching how nuanced and engaging her performance is. Ah, it's just so stunning. It's absolutely amazing.

    I think Simon has passed down a commandment that no singers will win AGT no matter how wonderful they are. He said after Grace won that young girls were dominating the show. The entire premise of "secret voters" is the antithesis of an honest competition. How were these anonymous found and "elected" to represent a country of 350 million?
    Angelina was the favorite of the ENTIRE viewing audience...period.

When you have a moment, would you please react to her "Old Town Road" cover? She took this hip-hop + country fusion song and completely rearranged it into a kick-butt, rock n roll performance.

    - Angelina always sings barefoot..... When Angelina was 6, she was traveling with her grandmother and met a poor girl with no shoes trying to make money on the streets. The girl complimented her on her pretty shoes, so Angelina took them off and gave them to the girl. She made a vow to always sing barefoot until all the children of the world could have shoes. To this day, whenever Angelina is performing in public, she sings barefoot to remind us that there are less fortunate people in the world that could use our help. (that's a shortened version. the full story is more touching than the way I have told it here)
