Great job on the analysis and reaction of this masterpiece from 9 yo Angelina. She is the whole package, the vocals, charisma, heart and soul of a legendary Artist. Thanks
Scott, I greatly appreciate and enjoy your your very detailed expert analysis and articulated descriptions of what you see and hear from Angelina’s vocal performance.
Absolutely amazing performance from 9 year old Angelina and Angelina actually arranges this amazing performance herself, pays tribute to Screaming J Hawkins the original artist, she is so special!
What an awesome reaction/review, yes, you nailed it...she is a story teller in all of her songs. Would love to see your reaction to her Norways tour this past summer, age 16....and latest covers.
Terrific reaction, Scott. For me, you fall right in the sweet spot for vocal coach reactions, combining sound analysis with obvious enjoyment while listening to this crazily great performance from 9-year-old Angelina. Thanks so much, sir. I sincerely hope to see you do more Angelina reactions. Have a great week. 😇
@@ScottLeVocalCoach You are very welcome, Scott. If the spirit moves you, please cue up Angelina's informal at-home performance of the Etta James classic, "I'd Rather Go Blind." ruclips.net/video/pK8mMXQb3_I/видео.html But, buckle up if you do 'cause Angelina really bears down with some bluesy, raspy vocal fry, which is fits the material to a tee. Cheers. 😇
This is still my favorite performance of Angelina's. It's so fierce and so skilled. Thx for your informative analysis, Scott! I think you'd really enjoy her cover of My Funny Valentine, released in February of this year. Her styling and the production take the overall sound back to some of the classic jazz vocal recordings of yesteryear. Here's a link for your convenience: ruclips.net/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/видео.html
You are quite a special reactor Scott. It was interesting to watch the way you combine your expert analysis with appreciation of this amazing girl. You have begun this journey of discovery in the most common way, starting with Bohemian Rhapsody at 13 then doing this one at age 9. Now you can freelance because every period of her life as an artist from 6 to 16 is extraordinary in its own way. I really look forward to see what you do next.
Good grief,you do incredible reactions Scott!Angelina has a gift with words inherited from her beloved artistic mentor/grandma Mery,who was a child prodigy in poetry and painting.I suspect Mery has taught AJ to closely examine word by word each song to both find it's deeper meaning and how to emphasize that message.Angelina is an author herself having released a book Between Two Hearts at only 9 years of age and becoming Norway's youngest published author.
Thank you so much Bernie Scott. Oh wow, I think many of us would've loved to have a grandma like Mery in my life growing up! Thank you for sharing that information :)
Angelina was sensational and this video, wow, is it fair to say it can be used to help seasoned professional artists to improve their musical delivery in so many different ways? She performed this masterpiece (?) when she was 9 years old ! And, your comments and analysis were "thrilling" to say the least. Your editing was superb and I must say, after watching many, many reactors play this video and critique it in their own way, your presentation ranks right up there with one of the best I have ever heard and enjoyed! Wonderful and thank you so much. You didn't make note of it but I adore the very end of the video. After her last note, Angelina lifts her right arm up and rests it on a ledge and the look on her face is telling us, "Was that okay or, could I do it a little better?" After viewing this I believe I just watched a consummate performing artist do her thing at the highest level possible for her.
Yeah I mean human potential isn't really to be realized anywhere near fully, ever, in nearly any way. But it could help explain this I suppose. 9 year olds don't make the best version of any song I ever knew of, for good reason, so something outrageous clearly happened here. Definitely what she was thinking though.
Great comment Robert. Agree this is one the best reaction/analysis I have seen as well. Scott put a lot of time and effort into this reaction and that is much appreciated. Have seen some reactions lately (Yusuftube) comes to mind who are cranking out a half dozen a day of Angelina reactions while offering no substance to the reaction...simply for likes on their channel, personally will not watch them as this is what a genuine reaction should be right here, regardless whether a vocal coach (Scott clearly is) or not, have something to offer besides a 6-7 minute video we can watch anytime. MHO
It's the song, "Screaming" Jay Hawkins got his nick name from, and it's worth noting that her performance is closer to the original than all well known covers. Here is a performance from later in his career, which contains most of the elements she based her arrangement on: m.ruclips.net/video/orNpH6iyokI/видео.html
Scott: yes, Angelina's breathing there was very similar to the Breath of Fire of Kundalini yoga. One reactor referred to it as a monkey sound. Another, to her exchange with the band as a call and response. She is endlessly inventive!
Another fantastic analysis of Miss Angelina Jordan, this is Angelina in full passionate beast mode, have not seen her let loose like this again. Any song that Angelina uncovers is a gem, Signed by Republic Records I am still waiting patiently for her debut original album to drop soon. It can only be Epic🥰🥰
Great reaction. Very detailed analysis. About the scream, if you listen again, you'll notice that its actually done on the inhale. Even more impressive that she can shape her vocal track in such a way as to get the right pitch on that inhaled note.
Great breakdown and analysis Scott. Angelina is one of a kind. I hope you continue down Angelina's Rabbit Hole. It will surprise and delight you at every turn. I love this performance so much. As they say AJ don't play. Well perhaps this is what she does when she does play and we get the most stunning, amazing performance of a 9 yr old of this Jazz standard ever created. I believe it is going to go down in Jazz & Music history as the best ever for this age and in my opinion the best rendition of this song ever created Screamin Jay included. It will be revisited for Decades and will remain relevant for Generations to come. Anyone who discovers this performance for the first time today or a 100 years from today are going to be as amazed and astounded as everybody has been to this point. Think of the children who will be inspired by this one performance in the decades to come. This is an Iconic performance and will always be Iconic. Angelina has on her own from early on at 6 or 7 yrs old reintroduced what I believe will be a whole new Jazz Era and redefined by this young phenom and prodigy. That is astounding! And she is just 16 years old... That is unfathomable!... Oh Lord... what is coming the world is not prepared for but we as fans have been on the edge of our seats and will remain there as we wait. No hurry. We want Angelina to do it her way when she is ready. She has already established her proficiency and incredible work ethic in this endeavor guided by an incredible family and professional support now surrounding her.
We know Angelina will continue to amaze! We will be here to experience and cherish it for as long as we live.... and I am praying for many more years for myself to enjoy it till the end of my days... I hope to go out of this world listening to the most beautiful voice ever created for man just as Angelina came into it to fulfill her purpose, what she was put on earth to do, sing for the whole World... and Me! To me Angelina is always singing to me transporting me to that beautiful place she inhabits when she sings and to experience it with her. She has the ability to touch hearts and souls and change lives. She has the ability to change lives on a personal level and the power to change lives on a global scale. To me no one compares. You just watched a Masterpiece! Destined to go down in Music History as the best performance by a 9 yr old, Period! Past, present & dare I say Future! I'd like to see anyone, young or old who can do a cover of this & with the justice it deserves as Angelina has done on every cover she does. ♥👣👸🏻
Angelina was 9 years old in this performance - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version - in fact, at the beginning of the video you see Angelina writing down some last-minute changes and it is read by the bandleader. You also notice that her own handwritten notes are on the music stand in front of her as she sings. For more insight info how Angelina works, here is a rehearsal video with the same band at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and gives them some instructions. There are English subtitles as the spoken language is Norwegian: ruclips.net/video/SAkZDAXJA4E/видео.html
Thank you for continuing your discovery of this very remarkable young singer. Angelina is well worth every moment you spend on her. I have watched and listened to her in awe since she released her first video on RUclips, and what has been evident to me from the start is that she sings with total conviction, despite the fact that she is far too young to have experienced the events suggested in the lyrics of the song she has chosen to sing. But it is not only that, for strange as it may seem is the even more remarkable fact that she con convey the appropriate emotions within those lyrics to her listener. Yes,she was 9 years and 2 months old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, who wrote and performed the song in 1956. She based her arrangement on his original performance, although she discarded all the theatrics and allowed her voice and body language to tell the story. The song has been covered by many singers over the years, but to my knowledge, Angelina is the only one who has sung in the same style as the original. Things I found particularly worthy of note in this video are (a) Angelina finishing writing last minute changes she wanted and handing them to the Music Director, who smiled. (b) A brief glimpse of Mery Zamani, Angelina's maternal grandmother, a well known and respected Iranian Artist and poet who was also a child prodigy. She was the person who recognised Angelina's talent at an early age and exposed her to all the old time jazz singers. (c) The candle with an image of Screamin' Jay Hawkins on it. (d) The smile on the face of the Bass player. (e) How she rose on to her toes on the last occasion she sang "...because you're mine" (f) The fact she occasionally refers to her written notes on the music stand (g) The instant transformation from "performance" mode to that of a pensive child, possibly wondering whether she could have done better. I comment on the "pensive" child because Angelina has an incredible work ethic and seeks to perform every song in a way she considers will bring out all the emotions within the lyrics and melody. Angelina has been referred to as the "Queen of Jazz", "The Barefoot Princess", "The girl with a thousand voices". All of them are true, but I prefer the nickname I gave her after listening to about six of her performances. For me, she is "The Chameleon of Song", for as a chameleon is able to change its colour to match its surroundings, so Angelina is able to change the "colour" of her voice to accurately match the needs of the song to reveal the emotions within the lyrics and melody. Even more remarkable is her innate ability to communicate those same emotions to her listeners.
I know you’re new to Angelina. Even though you were impressed by the songs you’ve heard, you can’t know yet how good she is across multiple genres. Your analysis tends to be technical, and there is a lot to unpack there in what she can do. But that technical talent blends with her delivery and interpretation of lyrics to make Angelina easily the best singer I’ve ever heard. Her musicality is evident in her arrangements, her authenticity for genre and style is spot on, and her interpretation and phrasing makes her unique: Angelina is singing to you, and that connection is immediate. She can be mesmerizing as in Bohemian Rhapsody, or she can stun you with technique and power and attitude, even at 9 years old. Yes, Billie Holiday was one of her muses since early childhood. Try her a cappella cover of Billie’s I’m a Fool to Want You. It was part of her audition at 7 for Norways Got Talent. ruclips.net/video/6LIcQL5gLoY/видео.html It’s extraordinary-easily the best performance you could ever hear from a young child. And since you mentioned James Brown, watch how Angelina can completely inhabit another genre, 1960’s soul, and just blow you away with power, range, phrasing, and attitude on It’s a Man’s World. ruclips.net/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/видео.html Watch Angelina at any age, any song, any genre. You’ve only just begun.
Thank you Johnvasi. I really appreciate you taking your time to leave a comment. I will make sure I'll watch those performances and be blown away by young AJ! :D
Hi there - best Performance of a 9 year old ever - i am pretty sure this Video will be a standart in coming music schools to study something hard to explane
I've heard hundreds of vocal coaches react and analyze this performance ! They are so good ! But your vocal breakdown was unique in that you didn't use reference to vocal techniques but rather to the nuances of her voice that I really thought was provoking ! You picked up so many areas that othrr vocal coaches didn't even mention ! Kudos to your vigilance it was so much appreciated ! I love your interpretation and analysis so much ! As for Angelina welcome to her world ! Only 175 covers and many original songs to go ! This girl is the real deal and is a vocal artist that is as good as they get ! Only 16 now but is already a super singer in my books ! Enjoy her journey of joy and happiness from her performances at 6 years old to now ! I gaurantee they will astound and astonish you completely ! Thank you and I definitely will subscribe to your channel ! Very impressive ! Sending nuch thanks and love from. Canada 👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️
One of the best analyses of this performance I've ever encountered -- and I've probably watched a hundred or more. You allusion to other singers (Billie, Beyoncé) as influences is spot on. Just a brilliant reaction -- thank you.
Congratulations, your insights were lucid, correct and instructive. I really liked your reaction style. Angelina in this performance, in addition to the technical wealth she shows us, demonstrates her invincible and wonderful free spirit!!
Well over 1,200 RUclips channel owners have reacted to Angelina, and I have watched and listened to every one of them. Many are awful, some are tolerable, a few are worth a subscription, but very few really "get" Angelina, and almost none of them understand her talent and ability on only a second exposure to her. So, thank you for being one of the very rare people who do understand her and have the verbal ability and musical knowledge to explain to others lacking that ability, and I am one of them, in language we can understand. I am a subscriber for lifer if you continue as you have begun.
I really enjoy listening to your detailed breakdown of this Masterpiece by young Angelina. Now that you've seen the 9 & 13 yo Angelina, it's time to see the current (16 yo) Angelina. If you want to see a Masterclass on vocal techniques & control, you have to see her rendition of the jazz standard, My Funny Valentine. ruclips.net/video/ETGLbsGDAI0/видео.html She literally empties her vocal toolbox on that one & it's my current favorite of hers. If you want to hear her power belting, I recommend her latest cover of Whitney Houston's, I Have Nothing. ruclips.net/video/iX0g99jN26U/видео.html Or if you want to see her genius re-arranging skills, where she totally transforms a classic song, like she did with Bohemian Rhapsody, then you need to hear her cover of Elvis' Suspicious Minds. ruclips.net/video/RTbKhkceR00/видео.html Whichever one you choose, you will be stunned by her vocal artistry.
What a wonderful reaction/analysis Scott, one of the very best I have seen (have seen 100's) for this epic masterpiece from Angelina, a cute 9 year old little girl. You will get a lot of responses and information from some of Angelina's millions of devoted fans here, hope you read the comments Scott. Also, hoping you shall continue on the absolutely wonderful journey that is Angelina's music . We Angelina Angels love to listen to quality, honest reactions like yours, there are literally several hundred Angelina reactors on YT but few offer such a detailed analysis of what they are hearing and witnessing in this music genius/prodigy Angelina Jordan Astar. Cheers, stay well. Btw, had to go back and watch your analysis of Bohemian Rhapsody and it was excellent as well. New Subscriber here (well one of many Angelina fans I guess) 😁😁
This is by far the best reaction and analysis yet of Angelina's "I Put a Spell on You." Thank you for sharing your interpretation and knowledge. Please bring on (much) more. Still learning at 85 - and subscribing.
New subscriber - thanks to your great reaction, analysis & appreciation of a masterful performance by Angelina (which she also arranged) - at age 9. You picked right up on a strong influence from the incredible Billie Holliday. In fact - as young as Angelina is here, highly recommend that you go back to all 4 of her Norway Got Talent performances (1st 2 are from Billie: Gloomy Sunday & I'm A Fool To Want You - followed by Bang Bang & Summertime) - at ages 7-8. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
Great reaction and analysis. One quick recommendation. When you pick back up with the performance, back it up (backspace key takes it back 5 sec) before you restart. It provides more cohesiveness between the previous phrase using a vocal technique(s) followed up by the new one.
Wonderful reaction and analysis! With most vocal coaches/teachers (and reactors in general), I DREAD anticipating when/where they will pause to comment. But, YOU, sir? I actually LOOK FORWARD with anticipation to what you will say and give insight on next! THANK YOU!
Wow, great reaction. It appears that you really know your stuff. I particularly like your comment “…it was effortless and instinctual.” Many have commented about Angelina’s “effortless” delivery of so many of her songs, but few have noticed natural “instincts” that set her apart. Angelina mentions that she “goes to a special place” when she immerses herself in a performance, and that can often be seen when she tilts her head back and closes her eyes. This is certainly not learned, but *instinctual* and can be seen when she was filmed singing at only one-and-a-half years old! I look forward to seeing more Angelina Jordan reactions from you! 👍😉 🖤👣
What a marvelously insightful analysis. I love how you point out the various vocal techniques Angelina uses to get different artistic and emotional effects. I'm sure Angelina spent many years studying, thinking about, and experimenting with just these sorts of things.
Thank you Les :) I think she really did. And I think she was given so much support (from mentors and family) and space to explore and refine her sound.
I think I have watched Angelina perform this song at least 100 times, but I have to say your analysis was the most concise and thoughtful I have heard to date. You helped me to notice aspects of Angelina's performance I have never noticed before. Thank you and keep up the great reactions!
What a brilliant in-depth analysis of Angelina's technique and amazing vocal abilities! You really did her justice while educating us. I just saw you as part of BIBISI's recent post: ANGELINA JORDAN BEST 23 VOCAL COACHES ANALYSIS REACTION MASHUP & COMPILATION (I Put A Spell on You). I was curious to see what else you would said and came here. As a result I have subscribed and am looking forward to checking out any other reactions you post on this musical genius, barefoot princess, queen of jazz, the one and only Angelina Jordan.
You have a wonderful way of communicating Angelina's gifted voice. A reaction well worth our time, and Angelina is well worth our time. I subscribed, thumbs up, see you on the next one.
@@ScottLeVocalCoach Count me as newly on-boarded too. I've been an Angel for 6+ years and you are at the top of those who try to make sense of what they are witnessing. I think those "experts" who fail have too much ego to reimagine reality. I'm really enjoying your insights.
Great analysis! You obviously know your stuff and are able to communicate it in an exceptional manner. I rarely subscribe to reaction channels but yours is a no-brainer.
Yours may be the most detailed and informative analysis of this gem by Angelina. It shows us that she really is a musical genius. A true artist at 10. We are amazed and delighted but Angels are no longer surprised. Any first time reactor has a dazed look when they hear this one. You had it too but recovered nicely. Down the rabbit hole you must go!
Love your analysis very much 💕 you notice a lot of vocal techniques of her voice. Yes her first Idol and example is Billie holiday, she started NGT with Gloomy Sunday from Billie holiday in a successful way. That's one reason why she won the competition. And please react to It's a man's world her wonderful Cover of JB ruclips.net/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/видео.html
Yes do as you're told Scott 😋, this is an all time, kind of like the one's you've done. Can't miss and your reactions have been brilliant, as has the editing, insane, to show us exactly the moments you are talking about, so we need your take. The audio is mediocre and it's still unreal. Somehow must suit the instruments and her key, 12 years old here in that link, with the Norwegian Armed Forces Staff Band, a massive brass band.
Thank you for your very cogent analysis of Angelina's astonishing vocal prowess. I have subscribed for more. No one else has pointed out that she breathes fire in this song. Now I'm convinced she's a little fire-breathing Dragon!
FANTASTIC ANALYSIS SCOTT!!!! You broke this down so competently and made it easy to understand. Hope to see another Angelina analysis soon. Very enjoyable and informative. 2 thumbs up!
Fabulous analysis Scott. Angelina, along with each aspiring artist you feature, truly do deserve all the love and support we can give. Please encourage your viewers to use the links in your description (so few read the description so directing them there helps both you and the artist) to subscribe to the artists' channel and to watch, like and comment on the original video. Be proud to help boost the analytics for each artist. Peace and love and I greatly look forward to your next reaction to Angelina. I subscribed.
@@ScottLeVocalCoach great reaction and I agree 100% with Andy's suggestions. I have seen hundreds of reaction channels implementing these guidelines very successfully for their Channel and for the artists.
I don't know what you do for a living, but you are an extraordinary teacher. We all know how gobsmackingly good Angelina is as a singer. This takes no talent to recognize, as evidenced by my own ability to recognize it. You are a great storyteller as well, though. You have a calm, comforting voice and ability to sit with the listener through the reaction as well as talk to them about it. What you choose to say is not overly obvious nor technical mumbojumbo. I could easily see you narrating nature documentaries or doing the kind of voice-over work we see from Morgan Freeman. In fact, I'd love to be watching something in the future and suddenly realize, hey, thats Scott Le narrating! Its not just your voice though. It is what you say and how you say it as well. Total package. Ok, enough about you. What you did here was great! I'm hoping in future analyses, you continue to share your good ear with us. It seems that one of the things that sets Angelina apart is her attention to the little details. Almost imperceptible things, but yet noticeable nuances that turn good into great. That transform super into sublime. She seems to have the ear for them and the instinct for where they belong. Somehow. Anyway, enough of my rambling. Good to see you back and look forward to your next one.
Dharmabum, that was a really beautiful message. Thank you so much. I feel so grateful that you spent your own precious time writing to me. I will keep doing the work and keep sharing it with all of you. My hope is to teach people the art of deep listening. Music hits differently when it is heard from that place. And I want that experience for as many people as possible. Thank you once again and I hope to see you soon :)
Of all the reaction videos I've watched for this performance (at least 100) this is by far the most detailed and insightful. I learned so much from you. Thanks!
WOW Scott! .Seen this 100s of times. Probably the best analysis of her technique to date. Not sure what is more amazing, her instinctive easy use of 100s of techniques on the spot with the vocals to do it right or the fact that she does her own arrangements. At only 9 years 2 months. This is a Musical Masterpiece. Not trying to compare, just curious, but as you move along I would love to know if and why you think her covers are always better than the original. Especially her cover of Adele's Someone Like You, All I Ask and Easy on Me, Rhianna's Stay cover. Amy Winehouse' Back to Black, Lana Del Rey's Born to Die and many many more, My unprofessional theory is below. Nobody can emit the emotion and soul of a song like Angelina. I think she reads the lyrics first before listening to the song itself. In this way she can understand the feeling and emotion the artist wants to convey. Then she arranges it, similar to the original, to be able to dramatically convey the feeling and emotion to us. She takes iconic songs and makes them Angelina songs. Her vocals, tones and smokiness do the rest. She is already The Greatest of All Time! Just amazing!!
Thank you for Albert :D I love your list of theories and I agree with all of them! For singers, the way they prepare their song has to very intentional and deliberate. Word for word. And to make conscious choices about which voice quality or vocal technique they want to add in. I think the original artists (that you mentioned) are incredible singers and performers in their own right, and they give Angelina a great foundation for her to then bring her own vibe and sound into the same song. I believe AJ's music hits the sweet spot for many of us and that's why we adore her and her music.
I've watched this nearly everyday for three years. Mostly to watch the newbies go through the gobsmackification that we all do. But it is gives me great insight to her delivery and placement. This is expertly delivered. It never diminishes. Her tone is so solid, she has a singers dream voice.
Thank you SOooo much for your break down of AJ our barefoot princess Child prodigy. I Absolutely Love your reactions as you have got to be one of best at what you do. I'm So glad you came across such an A-Mazing artist ...but You add meaning to her Real Artistry & SOoo much insight to musical Talent & passion. Love your imput. Thank YOU as it has helped me not only to implimant these techniques...but understand how AJ creates them.
💗💗💗 you will have to pause a lot :) - go! - lol, we're at the end of your reaction and I just read your video description... "pocket rocket", never heard that one and it made me laugh out loud - also your reaction, it is profound and seriously engaged, yet entertaining - I'm not sure if it's necessary to add in those additional mimic cuts that were not there in the moment of first listen, as you real time mimics already speak for themselves, but they were funny as well. I understand pausing is necessary for comments and to avoid copyright strikes (not with all material published on her two official channels as far as I know, but AGT etc...), , but I'd try to maintain the flow of the song some more, maybe just pausing and commenting real time instead of cutting in comments you filmed later...you might still add something in your final comment which you may well give after a break and some consideration... I mean it's still a great reaction and analysis, but it might be even better if you managed to maintain the integrity of the experience of the performance - don't know if you're able to get what I mean, English isn't my first language, to me it feels somehow more interrupted than necessary... But I subbed to your channel right after Bohemian Rhapsody and enjoyed both reaction and am looking forward to more... "Yellow Brick Road", again from AGT would be awesome, or you might try either some really new or really old recordings (in terms of a child...) "My Funny Valentine" (2022) might leave you speechless, or "Bang Bang" from Norske Talenter (age 7) to witness the unbelievable... - telling other Angels about your video won't be necessary, they'll soon all be here, but I call out poolhallshark: where are you my friend!? - And also Ron, hey mate! Come say hello :) And all the other Angels, sing along! - Peace and love from Bavaria 💗💗💗
@@103mrg not sure, she was 8 when winning with summertime, but seven when entering the contest, we'd need to know when exactly it was recorded (not broadcast...), but anyway it doesn't matter, she was far too young to sing like that :) ... 💗
After she sings “what’s up” I’m told this is called a “call back”..a technique that seemingly isn’t seen much in jazz music these days (thx TrueDarkseed)
kevin It's isn't really a skill. It's a compositional technique where she sings a particular phrase, which is the "call" and the band responds in kind, which is the "answer".
Good review, thanks. Scott, yes she is influenced greatly by Billie Holiday but with this song you should listen to the original by Screaming Jay Hawkins. ruclips.net/video/b1D7luQJwa0/видео.html The “breath of fire” as you call it comes from his styling. She’s mimicking him. And if you listen to Hawkins you’ll see that she screams, “Hey, watch out”, not “Hey, what’s up.”
Hello, Scott. It is so great to meet with you again. Today RUclips does not have a like button, but only an unlike button. I love the details you point out. Plus your voice is gentle as you "teach" us. Thank you so much for this. You are so good! I do want to hear more of your reactions to Angelina Jordan. Grandma Ellen, over and out. 💜
@@ScottLeVocalCoach The like button was missing for several hours when suddenly the new format appeared. Thank you for answering so I could get back and push the like button.
Hi Scott 👋. I don't know how i missed this one, but man I'm so glad i got to see your amazing and nerdy breakdown and analysis of 9 yo. Angelina when filmed. If you ever get a chance, you should check out her singing "I who have nothing" made famous by Tom Jones and also Shirley Bassey and she was 6 yo. in a sound booth at her school singing it in English. Made sure you get the one with English subtitles so you can see what the sound tech and her say after her 1st take. (PS Scott, maybe you could react to Laura Bretan's cover of "Adagio". She's not well known outside her musical circle cause of her genre's but her voice and character are amazing and she was also a Prodigy❤). God bless you Scott and your family too 🙏 ✝️❤ 🙂👍.
Thank you @ooshta!!! I will definitely check out Laura and look into I who have nothing as well. It's winter here in Melbourne, Australia so we're all keeping warm and trying to survive the cold haha. Take care yea?
Jeeze Scott. I've watched this performance dozens, maybe hundreds of times. You, my friend, have broken down and analyzed her performance better than almost all other reactors, and definitely top 3 of vocal coaches. Bravo. I love learning new technical aspects of this childs miracle talents and vocal abilities. Only one other vocal coach that I've heard caught the double vibrato at the end. Do yourself and us a favor, please and continue on the most unique journey. here is my suggestion. ruclips.net/video/O2bX15tYFVk/видео.html. 10.5 Minutes of all 4 of her Norways Got Talent performances. 2 Billie Holiday songs, the second, Im a Fool, ALL A CAPELLA (BTW kudos for realizing Billies influence on our Angel) Bang Bang and Summertime. Enjoy.
There’s no second syllable in the word, “spell.” She doesn’t create one either, which would be okay in many genres of singing. She does put emphasis on the last part of a monosyllabic word. It’s remarkable how she mastered this and many other sophisticated singing techniques at such an early age.
I think the breathing term you were looking for is pranayama. Breath control or pranayama has many techniques, the breath of fire being one of them. Because the breath of fire technique is done through the nose with the mouth closed, perhaps this was not the illustrative description most appropriate.
Great, thanks! She can deliver James Brown also. Not many react to "I Feel Good" live also at age 9. ruclips.net/video/I6Sw5oDR3_A/видео.html The video isn't the best, but her performance is awesome. Also don't miss "It's a Man's World" live at age 12. ruclips.net/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/видео.html
Speaking of James Brown, you might want to watch her amazing cover of "It's a Man's World": ruclips.net/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/видео.html with large band, ruclips.net/video/meUN_mTpl1I/видео.html with small band, unfortunately audio only.
She really is one of a kind !!!
That was a great reaction and analysis video!
🙄🤨🧐🤔😲🤯😌☺😃🤩🥰
The typical emotional path when listening to this recording for the first time
This version was a direct cleaned up homage to Screamin Jay Hawkins who's picture was shown at the beginning!!!
Great reaction! You added another Angel subscriber.
So much feeling! AJ is the best..thank you Scott for share your knowledge with us.
Very interesting - and informative - analysis and reaction ! :)
Great job on the analysis and reaction of this masterpiece from 9 yo Angelina. She is the whole package, the vocals, charisma, heart and soul of a legendary Artist. Thanks
Scott, I greatly appreciate and enjoy your your very detailed expert analysis and articulated descriptions of what you see and hear from Angelina’s vocal performance.
Absolutely amazing performance from 9 year old Angelina and Angelina actually arranges this amazing performance herself, pays tribute to Screaming J Hawkins the original artist, she is so special!
That was a great reaction and analysis video, thanks Scott👍
I absolutely love the way you break down Angelina’s vocals! Please react to more of her songs.
What an awesome reaction/review, yes, you nailed it...she is a story teller in all of her songs. Would love to see your reaction to her Norways tour this past summer, age 16....and latest covers.
Terrific reaction, Scott. For me, you fall right in the sweet spot for vocal coach reactions, combining sound analysis with obvious enjoyment while listening to this crazily great performance from 9-year-old Angelina. Thanks so much, sir. I sincerely hope to see you do more Angelina reactions. Have a great week. 😇
Thank you Owen S for your kind words. I will definitely do more Angelina reactions. She keeps giving and so, I will keep reacting :D
@@ScottLeVocalCoach You are very welcome, Scott. If the spirit moves you, please cue up Angelina's informal at-home performance of the Etta James classic, "I'd Rather Go Blind." ruclips.net/video/pK8mMXQb3_I/видео.html But, buckle up if you do 'cause Angelina really bears down with some bluesy, raspy vocal fry, which is fits the material to a tee. Cheers. 😇
This is still my favorite performance of Angelina's. It's so fierce and so skilled. Thx for your informative analysis, Scott! I think you'd really enjoy her cover of My Funny Valentine, released in February of this year. Her styling and the production take the overall sound back to some of the classic jazz vocal recordings of yesteryear. Here's a link for your convenience: ruclips.net/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/видео.html
You are quite a special reactor Scott. It was interesting to watch the way you combine your expert analysis with appreciation of this amazing girl. You have begun this journey of discovery in the most common way, starting with Bohemian Rhapsody at 13 then doing this one at age 9. Now you can freelance because every period of her life as an artist from 6 to 16 is extraordinary in its own way. I really look forward to see what you do next.
Good grief,you do incredible reactions Scott!Angelina has a gift with words inherited from her beloved artistic mentor/grandma Mery,who was a child prodigy in poetry and painting.I suspect Mery has taught AJ to closely examine word by word each song to both find it's deeper meaning and how to emphasize that message.Angelina is an author herself having released a book Between Two Hearts at only 9 years of age and becoming Norway's youngest published author.
Thank you so much Bernie Scott. Oh wow, I think many of us would've loved to have a grandma like Mery in my life growing up! Thank you for sharing that information :)
Thank you again for a wonderful reaction! She’s so amazing!😀👌❤️
Angelina,born to be an exceptional Singer and you,Scott a real reactor:calm and clear.thanks👍
Fantastic, detailed analysis to this Angelina masterpiece!
Fierce Masterpiece. Fearless, timeless and ageless. She's magic!
Miss Angelina Jordan! I just love to hear her dance!
Angelina was sensational and this video, wow, is it fair to say it can be used to help seasoned professional artists to improve their musical delivery in so many different ways? She performed this masterpiece (?) when she was 9 years old !
And, your comments and analysis were "thrilling" to say the least. Your editing was superb and I must say, after watching many, many reactors play this video and critique it in their own way, your presentation ranks right up there with one of the best I have ever heard and enjoyed! Wonderful and thank you so much.
You didn't make note of it but I adore the very end of the video. After her last note, Angelina lifts her right arm up and rests it on a ledge and the look on her face is telling us, "Was that okay or, could I do it a little better?" After viewing this I believe I just watched a consummate performing artist do her thing at the highest level possible for her.
Yeah I mean human potential isn't really to be realized anywhere near fully, ever, in nearly any way. But it could help explain this I suppose. 9 year olds don't make the best version of any song I ever knew of, for good reason, so something outrageous clearly happened here. Definitely what she was thinking though.
Great comment Robert. Agree this is one the best reaction/analysis I have seen as well. Scott put a lot of time and effort into this reaction and that is much appreciated. Have seen some reactions lately (Yusuftube) comes to mind who are cranking out a half dozen a day of Angelina reactions while offering no substance to the reaction...simply for likes on their channel, personally will not watch them as this is what a genuine reaction should be right here, regardless whether a vocal coach (Scott clearly is) or not, have something to offer besides a 6-7 minute video we can watch anytime. MHO
It's the song, "Screaming" Jay Hawkins got his nick name from, and it's worth noting that her performance is closer to the original than all well known covers. Here is a performance from later in his career, which contains most of the elements she based her arrangement on: m.ruclips.net/video/orNpH6iyokI/видео.html
Yes exactly. Paying homage to Screamin Jay while making it her own as only Angelina can do.
Scott: yes, Angelina's breathing there was very similar to the Breath of Fire of Kundalini yoga. One reactor referred to it as a monkey sound. Another, to her exchange with the band as a call and response. She is endlessly inventive!
Another fantastic analysis of Miss Angelina Jordan, this is Angelina in full passionate beast mode, have not seen her let loose like this again. Any song that Angelina uncovers is a gem, Signed by Republic Records I am still waiting patiently for her debut original album to drop soon. It can only be Epic🥰🥰
I love that description: BEAST MODE! haha! Thanks Ugo!
Awesome reaction, be ready for a roller coast on analyzing Angelina! She borrows Nuances from so many Artists, it's almost hard to fathom, God Bless!
Thank you Mark Kleckner :D
Great reaction. Very detailed analysis. About the scream, if you listen again, you'll notice that its actually done on the inhale. Even more impressive that she can shape her vocal track in such a way as to get the right pitch on that inhaled note.
Great breakdown and analysis Scott. Angelina is one of a kind. I hope you continue down Angelina's Rabbit Hole. It will surprise and delight you at every turn.
I love this performance so much. As they say AJ don't play. Well perhaps this is what she does when she does play and we get the most stunning, amazing performance of a 9 yr old of this Jazz standard ever created. I believe it is going to go down in Jazz & Music history as the best ever for this age and in my opinion the best rendition of this song ever created Screamin Jay included. It will be revisited for Decades and will remain relevant for Generations to come. Anyone who discovers this performance for the first time today or a 100 years from today are going to be as amazed and astounded as everybody has been to this point.
Think of the children who will be inspired by this one performance in the decades to come. This is an Iconic performance and will always be Iconic. Angelina has on her own from early on at 6 or 7 yrs old reintroduced what I believe will be a whole new Jazz Era and redefined by this young phenom and prodigy. That is astounding! And she is just 16 years old... That is unfathomable!... Oh Lord... what is coming the world is not prepared for but we as fans have been on the edge of our seats and will remain there as we wait. No hurry. We want Angelina to do it her way when she is ready. She has already established her proficiency and incredible work ethic in this endeavor guided by an incredible family and professional support now surrounding her.
We know Angelina will continue to amaze! We will be here to experience and cherish it for as long as we live.... and I am praying for many more years for myself to enjoy it till the end of my days... I hope to go out of this world listening to the most beautiful voice ever created for man just as Angelina came into it to fulfill her purpose, what she was put on earth to do, sing for the whole World... and Me! To me Angelina is always singing to me transporting me to that beautiful place she inhabits when she sings and to experience it with her. She has the ability to touch hearts and souls and change lives. She has the ability to change lives on a personal level and the power to change lives on a global scale. To me no one compares.
You just watched a Masterpiece! Destined to go down in Music History as the best performance by a 9 yr old, Period! Past, present & dare I say Future! I'd like to see anyone, young or old who can do a cover of this & with the justice it deserves as Angelina has done on every cover she does. ♥👣👸🏻
Beautiful thanks
Angelina was 9 years old in this performance - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version - in fact, at the beginning of the video you see Angelina writing down some last-minute changes and it is read by the bandleader. You also notice that her own handwritten notes are on the music stand in front of her as she sings. For more insight info how Angelina works, here is a rehearsal video with the same band at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and gives them some instructions. There are English subtitles as the spoken language is Norwegian: ruclips.net/video/SAkZDAXJA4E/видео.html
There are usually 2 reactions to Angelina , tears or chill bumps.
Definitely chill bumps for me (from this performance!)
edward Acually 4. Shivers and bewiderment.
This was a great analysis, one of the best. I look forward to seeing more.
Fantastic analysis of a small masterpiece of an unique singer. 9 years only! 💛🧡❤
Thank you for continuing your discovery of this very remarkable young singer. Angelina is well worth every moment you spend on her. I have watched and listened to her in awe since she released her first video on RUclips, and what has been evident to me from the start is that she sings with total conviction, despite the fact that she is far too young to have experienced the events suggested in the lyrics of the song she has chosen to sing. But it is not only that, for strange as it may seem is the even more remarkable fact that she con convey the appropriate emotions within those lyrics to her listener.
Yes,she was 9 years and 2 months old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, who wrote and performed the song in 1956. She based her arrangement on his original performance, although she discarded all the theatrics and allowed her voice and body language to tell the story. The song has been covered by many singers over the years, but to my knowledge, Angelina is the only one who has sung in the same style as the original.
Things I found particularly worthy of note in this video are
(a) Angelina finishing writing last minute changes she wanted and handing them to the Music Director, who smiled.
(b) A brief glimpse of Mery Zamani, Angelina's maternal grandmother, a well known and respected Iranian Artist and poet who was also a child prodigy. She was the person who recognised Angelina's talent at an early age and exposed her to all the old time jazz singers.
(c) The candle with an image of Screamin' Jay Hawkins on it.
(d) The smile on the face of the Bass player.
(e) How she rose on to her toes on the last occasion she sang "...because you're mine"
(f) The fact she occasionally refers to her written notes on the music stand
(g) The instant transformation from "performance" mode to that of a pensive child, possibly wondering whether she could have done better. I comment on the "pensive" child because Angelina has an incredible work ethic and seeks to perform every song in a way she considers will bring out all the emotions within the lyrics and melody.
Angelina has been referred to as the "Queen of Jazz", "The Barefoot Princess", "The girl with a thousand voices". All of them are true, but I prefer the nickname I gave her after listening to about six of her performances. For me, she is "The Chameleon of Song", for as a chameleon is able to change its colour to match its surroundings, so Angelina is able to change the "colour" of her voice to accurately match the needs of the song to reveal the emotions within the lyrics and melody. Even more remarkable is her innate ability to communicate those same emotions to her listeners.
jaw dropping is exactly her performace .
I know you’re new to Angelina. Even though you were impressed by the songs you’ve heard, you can’t know yet how good she is across multiple genres. Your analysis tends to be technical, and there is a lot to unpack there in what she can do. But that technical talent blends with her delivery and interpretation of lyrics to make Angelina easily the best singer I’ve ever heard. Her musicality is evident in her arrangements, her authenticity for genre and style is spot on, and her interpretation and phrasing makes her unique: Angelina is singing to you, and that connection is immediate. She can be mesmerizing as in Bohemian Rhapsody, or she can stun you with technique and power and attitude, even at 9 years old.
Yes, Billie Holiday was one of her muses since early childhood. Try her a cappella cover of Billie’s I’m a Fool to Want You. It was part of her audition at 7 for Norways Got Talent. ruclips.net/video/6LIcQL5gLoY/видео.html It’s extraordinary-easily the best performance you could ever hear from a young child. And since you mentioned James Brown, watch how Angelina can completely inhabit another genre, 1960’s soul, and just blow you away with power, range, phrasing, and attitude on It’s a Man’s World. ruclips.net/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/видео.html
Watch Angelina at any age, any song, any genre. You’ve only just begun.
Thank you Johnvasi. I really appreciate you taking your time to leave a comment. I will make sure I'll watch those performances and be blown away by young AJ! :D
Now you have a very old Angelina Jordan fan but a new fan of your reactions...! Great job...
Thank you Salvador :D Welcome to our little community hehe
@@ScottLeVocalCoach very soon will be a very big community...!!!!
Hi there - best Performance of a 9 year old ever - i am pretty sure this Video will be a standart in coming music schools to study something hard to explane
There are so many extraordinary things about this short, epic video and it’s always amazing when people can point out even more profound details.
Thank you Ros. It was such a treat reacting and analysing her voice :D
I've heard hundreds of vocal coaches react and analyze this performance ! They are so good ! But your vocal breakdown was unique in that you didn't use reference to vocal techniques but rather to the nuances of her voice that I really thought was provoking ! You picked up so many areas that othrr vocal coaches didn't even mention ! Kudos to your vigilance it was so much appreciated ! I love your interpretation and analysis so much ! As for Angelina welcome to her world ! Only 175 covers and many original songs to go ! This girl is the real deal and is a vocal artist that is as good as they get ! Only 16 now but is already a super singer in my books ! Enjoy her journey of joy and happiness from her performances at 6 years old to now ! I gaurantee they will astound and astonish you completely ! Thank you and I definitely will subscribe to your channel ! Very impressive ! Sending nuch thanks and love from. Canada 👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️
Thank you so much Ron. People like you give me the energy to keep going. Hope you're doing well in Canada :)
One of the best analyses of this performance I've ever encountered -- and I've probably watched a hundred or more. You allusion to other singers (Billie, Beyoncé) as influences is spot on. Just a brilliant reaction -- thank you.
Thank you ClanOp :D
Scott. I was just thinking the same things...well not actually😁. Great incite, and great review...keep em comin!
Haha thanks Marc :)
Congratulations, your insights were lucid, correct and instructive. I really liked your reaction style.
Angelina in this performance, in addition to the technical wealth she shows us, demonstrates her invincible and wonderful free spirit!!
Thank you Rogério Pinheiro Passos! :D
Well over 1,200 RUclips channel owners have reacted to Angelina, and I have watched and listened to every one of them. Many are awful, some are tolerable, a few are worth a subscription, but very few really "get" Angelina, and almost none of them understand her talent and ability on only a second exposure to her. So, thank you for being one of the very rare people who do understand her and have the verbal ability and musical knowledge to explain to others lacking that ability, and I am one of them, in language we can understand. I am a subscriber for lifer if you continue as you have begun.
Albert You echo my thoughts. I very rarely subscribe to reaction channels. This was an exception because I think he's exceptional at what he does.
Really liked your evaluation. Thanks.....
Adorable.............Yep that's it !!!!
I really enjoy listening to your detailed breakdown of this Masterpiece by young Angelina. Now that you've seen the 9 & 13 yo Angelina, it's time to see the current (16 yo) Angelina. If you want to see a Masterclass on vocal techniques & control, you have to see her rendition of the jazz standard, My Funny Valentine. ruclips.net/video/ETGLbsGDAI0/видео.html She literally empties her vocal toolbox on that one & it's my current favorite of hers. If you want to hear her power belting, I recommend her latest cover of Whitney Houston's, I Have Nothing. ruclips.net/video/iX0g99jN26U/видео.html Or if you want to see her genius re-arranging skills, where she totally transforms a classic song, like she did with Bohemian Rhapsody, then you need to hear her cover of Elvis' Suspicious Minds. ruclips.net/video/RTbKhkceR00/видео.html Whichever one you choose, you will be stunned by her vocal artistry.
What a wonderful reaction/analysis Scott, one of the very best I have seen (have seen 100's) for this epic masterpiece from Angelina, a cute 9 year old little girl. You will get a lot of responses and information from some of Angelina's millions of devoted fans here, hope you read the comments Scott. Also, hoping you shall continue on the absolutely wonderful journey that is Angelina's music . We Angelina Angels love to listen to quality, honest reactions like yours, there are literally several hundred Angelina reactors on YT but few offer such a detailed analysis of what they are hearing and witnessing in this music genius/prodigy Angelina Jordan Astar. Cheers, stay well. Btw, had to go back and watch your analysis of Bohemian Rhapsody and it was excellent as well. New Subscriber here (well one of many Angelina fans I guess) 😁😁
Hi Carl. Thank you for love and support for my work. Will definitely react and analyse to more of her :)
@@ScottLeVocalCoach Thank you Scott, look forward to more.
So many techniques employed by this prodigy that it's hard to unpack them all. You did a good job of it.
Thank you Destitute. She is a singing magician! If I analysed this song of AJ's, line by line, the video could go on for ages haha.
This is by far the best reaction and analysis yet of Angelina's "I Put a Spell on You." Thank you for sharing your interpretation and knowledge. Please bring on (much) more. Still learning at 85 - and subscribing.
I love that you're a life-long learner Roger. Thank you so much for popping by :)
New subscriber - thanks to your great reaction, analysis & appreciation of a masterful performance by Angelina (which she also arranged) - at age 9. You picked right up on a strong influence from the incredible Billie Holliday. In fact - as young as Angelina is here, highly recommend that you go back to all 4 of her Norway Got Talent performances (1st 2 are from Billie: Gloomy Sunday & I'm A Fool To Want You - followed by Bang Bang & Summertime) - at ages 7-8. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
Great reaction and analysis. One quick recommendation. When you pick back up with the performance, back it up (backspace key takes it back 5 sec) before you restart. It provides more cohesiveness between the previous phrase using a vocal technique(s) followed up by the new one.
Ooooo I never thought of that. Thanks Christian DH! Amateur film editor here so open to receiving feedback :D You're the best!
Wonderful reaction and analysis! With most vocal coaches/teachers (and reactors in general), I DREAD anticipating when/where they will pause to comment. But, YOU, sir? I actually LOOK FORWARD with anticipation to what you will say and give insight on next! THANK YOU!
Thank you John Battles. That was so lovely :D
Wow, great reaction. It appears that you really know your stuff. I particularly like your comment “…it was effortless and instinctual.”
Many have commented about Angelina’s “effortless” delivery of so many of her songs, but few have noticed natural “instincts” that set her apart. Angelina mentions that she “goes to a special place” when she immerses herself in a performance, and that can often be seen when she tilts her head back and closes her eyes. This is certainly not learned, but *instinctual* and can be seen when she was filmed singing at only one-and-a-half years old!
I look forward to seeing more Angelina Jordan reactions from you! 👍😉
🖤👣
Thanks for sharing Peter. AJ will definitely make more appearances on this channel :D
What a marvelously insightful analysis. I love how you point out the various vocal techniques Angelina uses to get different artistic and emotional effects. I'm sure Angelina spent many years studying, thinking about, and experimenting with just these sorts of things.
Thank you Les :) I think she really did. And I think she was given so much support (from mentors and family) and space to explore and refine her sound.
I think I have watched Angelina perform this song at least 100 times, but I have to say your analysis was the most concise and thoughtful I have heard to date. You helped me to notice aspects of Angelina's performance I have never noticed before. Thank you and keep up the great reactions!
Thanks Carol S! People like you keep me going :D
Perfect choice for Halloween! ☺
What an analysis!
Thanks Cassmhb :D
Awesome analysis. Thanks.
Thank you Ben :D
I hope you would create an Angelina playlist when you create your third reaction to her.
The Angelina Playlist will happen :D Thanks for your support Douglas :D
Yep 'breath of fire' good call!☺️... I've subscribed♥️
Oh yay! Thanks Kelli! :D
wow you are good, please do more Angelina.
Thank you Morten. I sure will :D. Keep an eye out in the near future :p
What a brilliant in-depth analysis of Angelina's technique and amazing vocal abilities! You really did her justice while educating us. I just saw you as part of BIBISI's recent post: ANGELINA JORDAN BEST 23 VOCAL COACHES ANALYSIS REACTION MASHUP & COMPILATION (I Put A Spell on You). I was curious to see what else you would said and came here. As a result I have subscribed and am looking forward to checking out any other reactions you post on this musical genius, barefoot princess, queen of jazz, the one and only Angelina Jordan.
Hi Ken 😍 Thank you so much. I’m so happy you enjoyed the video. ☺️ I didn’t even know about BIBISI so thanks for letting me know too haha 😛
You have a wonderful way of communicating Angelina's gifted voice. A reaction well worth our time, and Angelina is well worth our time. I subscribed, thumbs up, see you on the next one.
Thanks for choosing to spend your time with me Julio. Hope to see you again :D
@@ScottLeVocalCoach Count me as newly on-boarded too. I've been an Angel for 6+ years and you are at the top of those who try to make sense of what they are witnessing. I think those "experts" who fail have too much ego to reimagine reality. I'm really enjoying your insights.
Great analysis! You obviously know your stuff and are able to communicate it in an exceptional manner. I rarely subscribe to reaction channels but yours is a no-brainer.
Great commentary Scott. So much more info than most Reactors
Thank you Nellias :D
Yours may be the most detailed and informative analysis of this gem by Angelina. It shows us that she really is a musical genius. A true artist at 10. We are amazed and delighted but Angels are no longer surprised. Any first time reactor has a dazed look when they hear this one. You had it too but recovered nicely. Down the rabbit hole you must go!
Sorry. I meant 9 years and two months l think.
@@josephstimpfl4594 you could EDIT your post. ☺️
Thank you Joseph. She blew me away!
Love your analysis very much 💕 you notice a lot of vocal techniques of her voice. Yes her first Idol and example is Billie holiday, she started NGT with Gloomy Sunday from Billie holiday in a successful way. That's one reason why she won the competition.
And please react to It's a man's world her wonderful Cover of JB
ruclips.net/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/видео.html
Yes do as you're told Scott 😋, this is an all time, kind of like the one's you've done. Can't miss and your reactions have been brilliant, as has the editing, insane, to show us exactly the moments you are talking about, so we need your take. The audio is mediocre and it's still unreal. Somehow must suit the instruments and her key, 12 years old here in that link, with the Norwegian Armed Forces Staff Band, a massive brass band.
Thank you for your very cogent analysis of Angelina's astonishing vocal prowess. I have subscribed for more. No one else has pointed out that she breathes fire in this song. Now I'm convinced she's a little fire-breathing Dragon!
awwww she could be! We'll never knowwww haha. Thanks Karolyn :)
FANTASTIC ANALYSIS SCOTT!!!! You broke this down so competently and made it easy to understand. Hope to see another Angelina analysis soon. Very enjoyable and informative. 2 thumbs up!
THANKS FRANK!!!! haha! Take it easy :)
Fabulous analysis Scott. Angelina, along with each aspiring artist you feature, truly do deserve all the love and support we can give. Please encourage your viewers to use the links in your description (so few read the description so directing them there helps both you and the artist) to subscribe to the artists' channel and to watch, like and comment on the original video. Be proud to help boost the analytics for each artist. Peace and love and I greatly look forward to your next reaction to Angelina. I subscribed.
Thank you for your support Andy. That is a great idea! I will have to mention that in my videos from now on :)
@@ScottLeVocalCoach great reaction and I agree 100% with Andy's suggestions. I have seen hundreds of reaction channels implementing these guidelines very successfully for their Channel and for the artists.
Great reaction. You honed in on her originality and incredible music sophistication which seems so natural to her. She was truly born to sing.
I don't know what you do for a living, but you are an extraordinary teacher. We all know how gobsmackingly good Angelina is as a singer. This takes no talent to recognize, as evidenced by my own ability to recognize it. You are a great storyteller as well, though. You have a calm, comforting voice and ability to sit with the listener through the reaction as well as talk to them about it. What you choose to say is not overly obvious nor technical mumbojumbo. I could easily see you narrating nature documentaries or doing the kind of voice-over work we see from Morgan Freeman. In fact, I'd love to be watching something in the future and suddenly realize, hey, thats Scott Le narrating! Its not just your voice though. It is what you say and how you say it as well. Total package. Ok, enough about you.
What you did here was great! I'm hoping in future analyses, you continue to share your good ear with us. It seems that one of the things that sets Angelina apart is her attention to the little details. Almost imperceptible things, but yet noticeable nuances that turn good into great. That transform super into sublime. She seems to have the ear for them and the instinct for where they belong. Somehow.
Anyway, enough of my rambling. Good to see you back and look forward to your next one.
Dharmabum, that was a really beautiful message. Thank you so much. I feel so grateful that you spent your own precious time writing to me. I will keep doing the work and keep sharing it with all of you. My hope is to teach people the art of deep listening. Music hits differently when it is heard from that place. And I want that experience for as many people as possible. Thank you once again and I hope to see you soon :)
Subscribed! Enjoyed your reaction and I'm looking forward to more of Angelina! 👏😇🙏🏻
Thank you Jean S. I will make sure she comes backkkk haha
After all you just said.... she is doing it at 9yrs old.
Of all the reaction videos I've watched for this performance (at least 100) this is by far the most detailed and insightful. I learned so much from you. Thanks!
Thank you Joe :D
WOW Scott! .Seen this 100s of times. Probably the best analysis of her technique to date.
Not sure what is more amazing, her instinctive easy use of 100s of techniques on the spot with the vocals to do it right or the fact that she does her own arrangements.
At only 9 years 2 months. This is a Musical Masterpiece.
Not trying to compare, just curious, but as you move along I would love to know if and why you think her covers are always better than the original. Especially her cover of Adele's Someone Like You, All I Ask and Easy on Me, Rhianna's Stay cover. Amy Winehouse' Back to Black, Lana Del Rey's Born to Die and many many more, My unprofessional theory is below.
Nobody can emit the emotion and soul of a song like Angelina.
I think she reads the lyrics first before listening to the song itself.
In this way she can understand the feeling and emotion the artist wants to convey.
Then she arranges it, similar to the original, to be able to dramatically convey the feeling and emotion to us. She takes iconic songs and makes them Angelina songs.
Her vocals, tones and smokiness do the rest. She is already The Greatest of All Time! Just amazing!!
Thank you for Albert :D I love your list of theories and I agree with all of them! For singers, the way they prepare their song has to very intentional and deliberate. Word for word. And to make conscious choices about which voice quality or vocal technique they want to add in. I think the original artists (that you mentioned) are incredible singers and performers in their own right, and they give Angelina a great foundation for her to then bring her own vibe and sound into the same song. I believe AJ's music hits the sweet spot for many of us and that's why we adore her and her music.
@@ScottLeVocalCoach Well said Scott
I've watched this nearly everyday for three years. Mostly to watch the newbies go through the gobsmackification that we all do. But it is gives me great insight to her delivery and placement. This is expertly delivered. It never diminishes. Her tone is so solid, she has a singers dream voice.
Super instructional. ❤
Thanks
Great job with this very interesting and detailed analysis of Angelina's stunning performance.
Thanks Matthew :D
Yes, you did really offer new insights here. Great reaction! Hope to hear more from you.
Great reaction and breakdown, thanks!
Thank you SOooo much for your break down of AJ our barefoot princess Child prodigy. I Absolutely Love your reactions as you have got to be one of best at what you do. I'm So glad you came across such an A-Mazing artist ...but You add meaning to her Real Artistry & SOoo much insight to musical Talent & passion. Love your imput. Thank YOU as it has helped me not only to implimant these techniques...but understand how AJ creates them.
Thank you for your kind words Kiri. I'm glad you enjoyed it :D
She sang 'Watch Out' not whats up.
Thank you for the correction Jim Black :D
💗💗💗 you will have to pause a lot :) - go! - lol, we're at the end of your reaction and I just read your video description... "pocket rocket", never heard that one and it made me laugh out loud - also your reaction, it is profound and seriously engaged, yet entertaining - I'm not sure if it's necessary to add in those additional mimic cuts that were not there in the moment of first listen, as you real time mimics already speak for themselves, but they were funny as well. I understand pausing is necessary for comments and to avoid copyright strikes (not with all material published on her two official channels as far as I know, but AGT etc...), , but I'd try to maintain the flow of the song some more, maybe just pausing and commenting real time instead of cutting in comments you filmed later...you might still add something in your final comment which you may well give after a break and some consideration... I mean it's still a great reaction and analysis, but it might be even better if you managed to maintain the integrity of the experience of the performance - don't know if you're able to get what I mean, English isn't my first language, to me it feels somehow more interrupted than necessary... But I subbed to your channel right after Bohemian Rhapsody and enjoyed both reaction and am looking forward to more... "Yellow Brick Road", again from AGT would be awesome, or you might try either some really new or really old recordings (in terms of a child...) "My Funny Valentine" (2022) might leave you speechless, or "Bang Bang" from Norske Talenter (age 7) to witness the unbelievable... - telling other Angels about your video won't be necessary, they'll soon all be here, but I call out poolhallshark: where are you my friend!? - And also Ron, hey mate! Come say hello :) And all the other Angels, sing along! - Peace and love from Bavaria 💗💗💗
dominik Age 8 when she sang Bang Bang on NGT.
@@103mrg not sure, she was 8 when winning with summertime, but seven when entering the contest, we'd need to know when exactly it was recorded (not broadcast...), but anyway it doesn't matter, she was far too young to sing like that :) ... 💗
@@Hundhammer Bang Bang was aired live on April 11.
@@103mrg you're right then and she was 8 there... thanks!
@@Hundhammer 👍
After she sings “what’s up” I’m told this is called a “call back”..a technique that seemingly isn’t seen much in jazz music these days (thx TrueDarkseed)
kevin It's isn't really a skill. It's a compositional technique where she sings a particular phrase, which is the "call" and the band responds in kind, which is the "answer".
@@103mrg technique is a much better word..agreed..
She sings Watch out.
Good review, thanks.
Scott, yes she is influenced greatly by Billie Holiday but with this song you should listen to the original by Screaming Jay Hawkins. ruclips.net/video/b1D7luQJwa0/видео.html The “breath of fire” as you call it comes from his styling. She’s mimicking him. And if you listen to Hawkins you’ll see that she screams, “Hey, watch out”, not “Hey, what’s up.”
Hello, Scott. It is so great to meet with you again. Today RUclips does not have a like button, but only an unlike button. I love the details you point out. Plus your voice is gentle as you "teach" us. Thank you so much for this. You are so good! I do want to hear more of your reactions to Angelina Jordan. Grandma Ellen, over and out. 💜
Grandma Ellennnn. Hello againnnnn! Thank you so much :D
@@ScottLeVocalCoach The like button was missing for several hours when suddenly the new format appeared. Thank you for answering so I could get back and push the like button.
Hi Scott 👋. I don't know how i missed this one, but man I'm so glad i got to see your amazing and nerdy breakdown and analysis of 9 yo. Angelina when filmed. If you ever get a chance, you should check out her singing "I who have nothing" made famous by Tom Jones and also Shirley Bassey and she was 6 yo. in a sound booth at her school singing it in English. Made sure you get the one with English subtitles so you can see what the sound tech and her say after her 1st take. (PS Scott, maybe you could react to Laura Bretan's cover of "Adagio". She's not well known outside her musical circle cause of her genre's but her voice and character are amazing and she was also a Prodigy❤). God bless you Scott and your family too 🙏 ✝️❤ 🙂👍.
Thank you @ooshta!!! I will definitely check out Laura and look into I who have nothing as well. It's winter here in Melbourne, Australia so we're all keeping warm and trying to survive the cold haha. Take care yea?
Jeeze Scott. I've watched this performance dozens, maybe hundreds of times. You, my friend, have broken down and analyzed her performance better than almost all other reactors, and definitely top 3 of vocal coaches. Bravo. I love learning new technical aspects of this childs miracle talents and vocal abilities. Only one other vocal coach that I've heard caught the double vibrato at the end. Do yourself and us a favor, please and continue on the most unique journey. here is my suggestion. ruclips.net/video/O2bX15tYFVk/видео.html. 10.5 Minutes of all 4 of her Norways Got Talent performances. 2 Billie Holiday songs, the second, Im a Fool, ALL A CAPELLA (BTW kudos for realizing Billies influence on our Angel) Bang Bang and Summertime. Enjoy.
Shodannnn, you made my morning *blush blush* And thank you for your recommendation. I will definitely check out those performances. :D
Very nice break down.
Thank you Tom. I'm happy you enjoyed it :)
😊❤⭐⭐
There’s no second syllable in the word, “spell.” She doesn’t create one either, which would be okay in many genres of singing. She does put emphasis on the last part of a monosyllabic word. It’s remarkable how she mastered this and many other sophisticated singing techniques at such an early age.
Oh my bad! You're right! haha. Thank you for the correction Jeff :)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I think the breathing term you were looking for is pranayama. Breath control or pranayama has many techniques, the breath of fire being one of them. Because the breath of fire technique is done through the nose with the mouth closed, perhaps this was not the illustrative description most appropriate.
ahhhhh. Thanks for that 103mrg! Pranayama.... I will try and remember that one next time :D
That scream at the start is really a gasp, she's inhaling while staying on key.
Great, thanks! She can deliver James Brown also. Not many react to "I Feel Good" live also at age 9. ruclips.net/video/I6Sw5oDR3_A/видео.html The video isn't the best, but her performance is awesome. Also don't miss "It's a Man's World" live at age 12. ruclips.net/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/видео.html

AJ has mainly been singing in English since she was 6yrs old even though it's her 3rd language
Creep - Post Modem Jukebox feat. Haley Reinhart. A vocal coaches dream!
