I never had doubts about that line: forgive me for all that I am. Angelina understands the burden that her career is placing on her family, and asks their forgiveness because their life revolves around her career needs. I don’t think it’s all about one person. Angelina needs and wants that support, but understands the effect it has on her loved ones around her. She also sings “surround me with angels” which is a direct reference to her fans and their support. “Forgive me for all that I am” is a great example of the introspection that Angelina shows us in many of the songs she’s written. She has the ability to look at herself from a distance-and she does that often: Good in Goodbyes, Seventh Heaven, Diamond, What is Life, and many others.
Seems that is the overwhelming take on the song, so it's probably the correct one. I am not sure if that frame survived the cut, but I might also be projecting and my personal experience might have affected my views on the song. One thing we certainly agree on - a 12 yo writing an amazing song like this one and singing it the way Angelina does is stunning. 😉
My interpretation of "Forgive me for all that I am" is that her family rearranged their lives around hers. After she won NGT her mother was asked "what's next" and she said that now that this is over, she will return to a normal life. That didn't happen because Angelina was on her own undeniable trajectory, that everyone else felt compelled to indulge. And of course, shield and protect her on her journey.
Many interpret it the same way you just did, so probably a very valid view. I tend to dive in without prior knowledge and research about an artists life, so I often interpret only what I hear in the song itself. That also means that I'll come up with an interpretation that may not be true or exact, but it does allow for freedom at first listen.
Amazed at Aleks' insightful and knowledgeable analysis of Angelina's performances but also about how she "gets her"! R-E-S-P-E-C-T! Thoroughly enjoyed this episode 🥰 P.S.: In my opinion, she's talking about her family and specially about Sara and Mery. "Forgive for who I am" is a way of saying thank you and also acknowledging the "sacrifices" the whole family went through so she could pursue her dreams. They changed their lives, left Norway to go to the US, etc. Humility and pure love for them 💖
Thank you kindly, Made! Seems like most people agree with your interpretation of the lyrics and the more I read the more it seems I was projecting. Then again, I enjoy not knowing at first listen and hearing whatever feels right for me. Now I know more and many of you guys have changed my perspective on the song. ❤❤❤
I am thrilled Alek was invited to be a guest, since I learned a lot about her today and will appreciate her reactions to Angelina much more. This was a wonderful episode.
Another great episode guys! Aleks was a great guest and she is a very good reactor as well. Her comments and insights about each song she heard was very interesting and to me quite on point. It would be great if you guys were able to bring her back again. This season has been really good!
Aleks I tend to side with you. One thing always unspoken by the family --except for her younger sister Juliette one time-it seems is the fact that her father has divorced and no longer a part of the family life. But when we first saw her in Norway’s Got Talent he was there- briefly. Maybe “forgive me for all that I am” is her plea. This is a lot of pressure on a young girl who has clearly turned the entire family into a “shield” of protection as her career trajectory has expanded.
@@davidgrainger7717 Another detail about AJ I did not know, but truth be told I thought "gone" was closer to "passed away". Your take is also a very interesting one and quite a possible scenario for a 12 yo. This is precisely what I love about music - interpretations can vary, whether we have detailed insight in the life of an artist or not. It seems you and I hear this one slightly differently to most, and it doesn't even matter who's right. It's how each of us feels it.
Well, "How about that!" 52:26 of pure entertainment which kept me captivated till the very end. I know when I first listened to Aleks on her channel I immediately was stunned by her frankness. It was like I had to do a double take on what I was listening to. A compliment for sure and her spontaneous and thoughtful remarks were a breath of fresh air. "Aleks, if I may, when Alan and Pontus discovered you they must have said, 'We have to do a podcast with her if she is willing'! I'm so glad you accepted their invitation. You spoke about how Angelina knows exactly who she is and what she wants to do. She creates music and interprets music with the love in the song always being her main focus. Your observation about what you felt when you listened to Angelina sing HER FIRST NOTE OF 'I Put A Spell On You' gave me a feel of how genuine you are. Alan thought you were kidding when you suggested to him you would prefer not to listen to another song because it would be too much for you. Then, he caught on. He, like all of us, understood what you meant. You fully absorb something and to fully appreciate what it was you need a little time to reflect. Aleks, you are very special!"
Dear Robert, I am very glad you caught this episode and even more glad that you enjoyed it. Those are some lovely words, thank you so much for your discerning comment and for your understanding. You never fail in brining a smile to my face. ❤❤❤
I greatly enjoyed this episode with Aleks. I am a fan of Aleks’ reactions because she has impressed me with her cerebral capacity to articulately describe what she heard and felt. I became a sub after experiencing Aleks’ first reaction to Angelina.
Aleks has quite a remarkable auditory sensitivity and awareness that I don’t think I have seen in any other reactor, after having listened to hundreds.
Thank you so much! Coming from a DJ to a layman like me, that's a great compliment indeed. The choice of songs was also a really good one by Alan and Pontus, so this really worked well in unison. 😊
@ I need to pay particular attention to your next AJ reaction, because I felt a certain level of music nerdy detail (that I loved hearing) was present with Alan and Pontus that I don’t recall from your solo reactions. If so, then I hope you would consider adjusting to include more in the future. Maybe even consider teaming up with them for all your AJ reactions! (When’s your next AJ reaction?)
@@dojoswitzer If all goes well (no blocks), my next AJ reaction is going to be in a week or so... Hmmm, it never occurred to me to talk MORE than I usually do, but it's different when there's more people involved and the right questions are asked and they can edit out too much talk from me. 😊
I really enjoyed this episode. I have watched Alex react to Angelina, but did not realize at the time the incite into music she has. I have now subscribed to her channel
Not to worry, Patrick. Sometimes it's spot on, other times I miss by a mile (or only a kilometer). Everyone's thoughts and insights are welcome. No one is always right. 😊

Thankyou Aleks..Alan..Pontus, I thoroughly enjoyed this hour which went soooo quickly. Aleks..I hope I don't annoy you with this observation, because I did listen and hear what you said. However, I will chance it with my fingers firmly crossed.. In "I put a Spell on You".. when Angelina enters the booth to begin..she glances heavenwards. It was the first thing that impacted me.. it felt respectful and almost as if she was inviting/having some interaction with Jay Hawkins. There is one other time I noticed her doing this.. she was in the studio to record Billie Hollidays version of "I'm a Fool to Want You". She is wearing a flower crown and she touches it and looks heavenwards and again I got chills feeling she was communing with Billie in that moment. Thankyou if you read and or comment to me. These gestures of Angelina impact me greatly and I don't find very many who speak of this.
Thank you kindly Lindakay. How could I be annoyed by anyone's observation as I so boldly share mine (sometimes wrong ones) with the whole world? 😊 I haven't noticed that at all, but that might be because I'm a little bit too down to earth. In that respect it seems you share more with AJ than I do, so it has a profound impact on you while some of us fail to see it. That remains the beauty of music - we all see what's important to each of us.
@AleksReacts Thankyou Aleks.. You have a deep understanding of "being human".. I really appreciate you and your willingness to share your knowledge, understanding and experience.. especially about being human. Thankyou.
Hello, Aleks! This episode was all I hoped for and more. You just reaffirmed what I already knew. And I'm happy to see that your apprehension was rather uncalled for. I was SO curious to see what it was 😂 I think this is my favorite episode of the podcast so far 🙂 Have a splendid week ahead! Much love from the Sharkster ♥♥♥♥♥
Fantastic program today. It is so intriguing to hear the interpretations of others that are so perceptive as Aleks. We think we know everything about Angelina but an episode like this makes me reflect more on my existing thoughts. Thank you for all.
I wouldn't sell myself short, Ron! You had some great insights as well - made me rethink my views several times. That is the most interesting part about reactions - interactions after the fact. Thank you for that! ❤
Why thank you for that. That is very kind. I just wanted to let you know you have a message in your thanks box. I appreciate all you do. Peace and love.
Aleks, I knew you were going to do great. You were fantastic! I was going to watch only 5 minutes because I had plans for today, then I found myself watching the whole thing 🤣🤣 Your insights and fun comments were on point and entertaining. And you knew when to put on the breaks, haha. You know yourself best. LOVED it.
Thank you so much! ❤❤❤ I am so happy you liked it! In all honesty, I had no idea when to put on the breaks - it was Alan's and Pontus' editing that stopped me from blabbering away. 🤣
Thank you so much for the compliment! I really should say that Alan and Pontus have a great way of editing out my blabber. Now, I try to self-regulate, but I always talk a lot, so there are timestamps on my videos and you can skip the talk if you like. Hope you'll enjoy some of my other reactions to AJ as well. ❤
@@PITA-kd2jn Oh, that is so sweet! Don't worry, I understand skipping, my husband tends to skip over things I say. Then again, he listens to a chatterbox all day long. 😂
Thank you so much, Bob! Part 2 will happen, Alan and I just talked, but it will not happen too soon. Hopefully, we'll do it together for next season. Small bites are oftentimes sweeter. ❤❤❤
It seems highly likely that it is, indeed, her family to whom she refers as her shield, since they have literally shielded her from the more sordid and vicious aspects of the entertainment business, ever since she was a little child when some of the industry "sharks" started pursuing her. They have ensured that she had as normal and as protected a childhood as possible. She referred to this in the "10 Years in The Making" documentary when, speaking about her family, she said, "I want them to always be my shield". The "Forgive me for all that I am" statement is a bit more uncertain, although it has been suggested, reasonably in my opinion, that she was perhaps referring to the unwavering effort they made indulging and supporting her in realizing her greatest dreams from her earliest childhood, dreams far bigger than those of the average child of her age.
Thank you, Patrick! Seems almost all Angels agree on the meaning or interpret it similarly. This was a first listen for me and I avoid knowing much if anything about an artist's life, so I hope you'll forgive me for having a different perspective at first listen. It is interesting though to read all interpretations and find out a bit more in relation to each song. 😊
@@AleksReactsYou're very welcome. Angelina's Angels are among the most knowledgeable and devoted fans in existence, and we deeply appreciate the importance of the role reactors play in promoting the artists, especially reactors as perceptive and genuine as you are, and whose perspectives may even lead us to a deeper understanding and appreciation of our particular artist.
@@patrickchauharjasingh7164 In my experience that has indeed been true of Angels, and it is an absolute pleasure not only to listen to and react to Angelina, but also to discuss her performances further in the comment section. Each person brings something of themselves into the discussion and it makes for a lovely harmony of some really great people. Thank you once again for all 3 of us! ❤❤❤
I'm very much looking forward to it and will be sure to stick around during the premiere! Please don't judge me too harshly, it's my first podcast ever. 😊
Nothing to worry about Aleks. You'll be surrounded by Angels. I'm sure it will be fun and informative. Glad you'll be joining us during the premiere! 😊
Hope it meets your expectations. I don't think you were around for the premiere, but anytime is a good time. If you actually were there, apologies for missing you. 😇
i hope the left from repuplic records goes smoothly over the stage and her new contract brings her forward to the radio shows, interviews and a smal tour at the begining. she is more as only ready for take off to the big stages with her own music structures. she is growing up to a beautiful woman and it's her time right now.
I think the person Alexs seems to be looking for in Shield is Angelina‘s grandfather whom she wrote the song Million Miles in memoriam and said that he was always with her looking down at her from the moon. Too bad you didn’t pair that song up with shield.
You are actually probably right, Michael. A part of it might be that, another part might be my own experience. However, the reason Alan and Pontus did not include Million Miles in this podcast is because it would not have been my first time hearing it. I did 8 reactions (so far) on my own and it's among them on the AJ list of reactions: ruclips.net/p/PLZsp8-WYPQ5reoeLWC581XNhnrBP26NHs
What a treat this was, you are so perceptive it is uncanny how much you can see in just a few phrases. So, Metalica, Ennio Morricone and "The Ecstasy of gold", would love to know your opinion. And again, Metalica... could we see some Arch Enemy on your channel? Alissa White Gluz I personally think is the best front person for any death metal band (sorry Floor I love you and your style) her growls are amazing and you can actually understand her words. Sorry I regress, I am one of the Angels who have watched the industry destroy so much talent and like Lara, the sound of her voice can often bring a lump to your throat and moist eyes. Performers like these are so few, when their personality and humility can so readily be sensed, you cannot help but be protective of them like the true treasure they are. The painting and its message is incredible! Now I am really looking forward to more AJ reactions from you.🌺
Thank you so much, dear friend! Hmmm, I have never heard anything by Metallica that came after the Black Album, so anything is possible... So happy that you've watched this podcast as I believe Alan and Pontus are great interviewers and they have a way of connecting personal experience with the music very fluidly. It was more of an interview sprinkled with reactions. ❤
Why didn’t you show her the video of Shield? This one hardly even sounded like her voice. Next time she comes, please have her react to I’m Holding Out for You. I was disappointed she didn’t choose it. Also, she was not eleven when singing that version of Summertime. I personally think she was barely nine. She was still working her mouth in odd shapes, and her voice cracked at the end. You can also see how little she is as she walked off at the end of the song. I also think it was her idea to slow the tempo down so far, and it worked wonderfully well with the orchestra. This was a fun session-thanks, Guys!
Oh, Alan and Pontus tried, but I couldn't pick up the words because we had some lag when recording this. It's my fault this version pretty much "needed" to be chosen. I hope you'll forgive that, as I really wanted to follow the words while hearing the song for the first time. 😊
I wasn't really choosing (except at the end when given two choices and I claimed Shield). Alan and Pontus actually surprised me by having me react to any songs. I thought we'd be talking and nothing else. Thank you for the corrections and some additional information. I'm glad that overall this was fun for you - if I was in on the plans, it would probably be a bit more stuck up. This way, we could all kind of relax and enjoy the fun.
I never had doubts about that line: forgive me for all that I am. Angelina understands the burden that her career is placing on her family, and asks their forgiveness because their life revolves around her career needs. I don’t think it’s all about one person.

Thank you kindly Lindakay. How could I be annoyed by anyone's observation as I so boldly share mine (sometimes wrong ones) with the whole world? 😊
I haven't noticed that at all, but that might be because I'm a little bit too down to earth. In that respect it seems you share more with AJ than I do, so it has a profound impact on you while some of us fail to see it. That remains the beauty of music - we all see what's important to each of us.
@AleksReacts Thankyou Aleks.. You have a deep understanding of "being human".. I really appreciate you and your willingness to share your knowledge, understanding and experience.. especially about being human. Thankyou.
@@lindakayjohnson9434 Thank you as well, Linda for being the same in that respect. 😊
Looking forward to this new episode!
Great episode everyone! Really insiteful thoughts.
Thank you so much, Jeff! It's been a pleasure. 😊
Hello, Aleks! This episode was all I hoped for and more. You just reaffirmed what I already knew. And I'm happy to see that your apprehension was rather uncalled for. I was SO curious to see what it was 😂 I think this is my favorite episode of the podcast so far 🙂 Have a splendid week ahead! Much love from the Sharkster ♥♥♥♥♥
I am not giving up on that coffee. As Röschu would say: Aleks out ❤❤❤
what a lovely lovely podcast, congratulations to all
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much, Navroze! ❤
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Thank you! ❤❤❤
Fantastic program today. It is so intriguing to hear the interpretations of others that are so perceptive as Aleks. We think we know everything about Angelina but an episode like this makes me reflect more on my existing thoughts. Thank you for all.
♥♥♥
I wouldn't sell myself short, Ron! You had some great insights as well - made me rethink my views several times. That is the most interesting part about reactions - interactions after the fact. Thank you for that! ❤
Why thank you for that. That is very kind. I just wanted to let you know you have a message in your thanks box. I appreciate all you do. Peace and love.
@@ronraskind It is merely true. ❤
Aleks, I knew you were going to do great. You were fantastic! I was going to watch only 5 minutes because I had plans for today, then I found myself watching the whole thing 🤣🤣 Your insights and fun comments were on point and entertaining. And you knew when to put on the breaks, haha. You know yourself best. LOVED it.
Thank you so much! ❤❤❤ I am so happy you liked it! In all honesty, I had no idea when to put on the breaks - it was Alan's and Pontus' editing that stopped me from blabbering away. 🤣
@@AleksReacts The hour just flew by. Thank you for doing this, made my day. Alan and Pontus are great, too.
One of your best episodes guys. Aleks is awesome, that's why I'm subbed to her as well.
Thank you so much for the compliment! I really should say that Alan and Pontus have a great way of editing out my blabber. Now, I try to self-regulate, but I always talk a lot, so there are timestamps on my videos and you can skip the talk if you like. Hope you'll enjoy some of my other reactions to AJ as well. ❤
@AleksReacts I've seen all of your AJ reactions, and I wouldn't dream of skipping a thing.
@@PITA-kd2jn Oh, that is so sweet! Don't worry, I understand skipping, my husband tends to skip over things I say. Then again, he listens to a chatterbox all day long. 😂
Great, thank you !
Glad you enjoyed it R.H. 😊
Wow! I didn't want her to go. That was fantastic! Loved Aleks's analysis, honesty and insite, even with Pontus. I hope there is a part 2.👍❤❤👏👏
Part 2 is definite. I am zooming with Aleks in 48 hrs to discuss details. We may publish before Xmas
Thank you so much, Bob! Part 2 will happen, Alan and I just talked, but it will not happen too soon. Hopefully, we'll do it together for next season. Small bites are oftentimes sweeter. ❤❤❤
It seems highly likely that it is, indeed, her family to whom she refers as her shield, since they have literally shielded her from the more sordid and vicious aspects of the entertainment business, ever since she was a little child when some of the industry "sharks" started pursuing her. They have ensured that she had as normal and as protected a childhood as possible. She referred to this in the "10 Years in The Making" documentary when, speaking about her family, she said, "I want them to always be my shield". The "Forgive me for all that I am" statement is a bit more uncertain, although it has been suggested, reasonably in my opinion, that she was perhaps referring to the unwavering effort they made indulging and supporting her in realizing her greatest dreams from her earliest childhood, dreams far bigger than those of the average child of her age.
Thank you, Patrick! Seems almost all Angels agree on the meaning or interpret it similarly. This was a first listen for me and I avoid knowing much if anything about an artist's life, so I hope you'll forgive me for having a different perspective at first listen. It is interesting though to read all interpretations and find out a bit more in relation to each song. 😊
@@AleksReactsYou're very welcome. Angelina's Angels are among the most knowledgeable and devoted fans in existence, and we deeply appreciate the importance of the role reactors play in promoting the artists, especially reactors as perceptive and genuine as you are, and whose perspectives may even lead us to a deeper understanding and appreciation of our particular artist.
@@patrickchauharjasingh7164 In my experience that has indeed been true of Angels, and it is an absolute pleasure not only to listen to and react to Angelina, but also to discuss her performances further in the comment section. Each person brings something of themselves into the discussion and it makes for a lovely harmony of some really great people. Thank you once again for all 3 of us! ❤❤❤
❤❤❤Love👣Angelina❤❤❤
You're definitely not the only one! ❤❤❤
I'm very much looking forward to it and will be sure to stick around during the premiere! Please don't judge me too harshly, it's my first podcast ever. 😊
Let's go, Aleks!
it wont be Your last❤❤
Lol! Not to worry. We've already judged you and like what we see. Podcast, schmodcast....you are with friends.
Nothing to worry about Aleks. You'll be surrounded by Angels. I'm sure it will be fun and informative. Glad you'll be joining us during the premiere! 😊
@@ronaldjonkers9939 Correct. Pontus and I are already working out the playlist for her next episode!!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
❤❤❤
Will be interesting
Hope it meets your expectations. I don't think you were around for the premiere, but anytime is a good time. If you actually were there, apologies for missing you. 😇
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Oh, you watched it too! So glad to run into you in the comments, Lee. Thank you for all 3 of us! ❤❤❤
i hope the left from repuplic records goes smoothly over the stage and her new contract brings her forward to the radio shows, interviews and a smal tour at the begining. she is more as only ready for take off to the big stages with her own music structures. she is growing up to a beautiful woman and it's her time right now.
I think the person Alexs seems to be looking for in Shield is Angelina‘s grandfather whom she wrote the song Million Miles in memoriam and said that he was always with her looking down at her from the moon. Too bad you didn’t pair that song up with shield.
You are actually probably right, Michael. A part of it might be that, another part might be my own experience. However, the reason Alan and Pontus did not include Million Miles in this podcast is because it would not have been my first time hearing it. I did 8 reactions (so far) on my own and it's among them on the AJ list of reactions: ruclips.net/p/PLZsp8-WYPQ5reoeLWC581XNhnrBP26NHs
❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! ❤❤❤
What a treat this was, you are so perceptive it is uncanny how much you can see in just a few phrases. So, Metalica, Ennio Morricone and "The Ecstasy of gold", would love to know your opinion. And again, Metalica... could we see some Arch Enemy on your channel? Alissa White Gluz I personally think is the best front person for any death metal band (sorry Floor I love you and your style) her growls are amazing and you can actually understand her words. Sorry I regress, I am one of the Angels who have watched the industry destroy so much talent and like Lara, the sound of her voice can often bring a lump to your throat and moist eyes. Performers like these are so few, when their personality and humility can so readily be sensed, you cannot help but be protective of them like the true treasure they are. The painting and its message is incredible! Now I am really looking forward to more AJ reactions from you.🌺
Thank you so much, dear friend! Hmmm, I have never heard anything by Metallica that came after the Black Album, so anything is possible... So happy that you've watched this podcast as I believe Alan and Pontus are great interviewers and they have a way of connecting personal experience with the music very fluidly. It was more of an interview sprinkled with reactions. ❤
Why didn’t you show her the video of Shield? This one hardly even sounded like her voice. Next time she comes, please have her react to I’m Holding Out for You. I was disappointed she didn’t choose it. Also, she was not eleven when singing that version of Summertime. I personally think she was barely nine. She was still working her mouth in odd shapes, and her voice cracked at the end. You can also see how little she is as she walked off at the end of the song. I also think it was her idea to slow the tempo down so far, and it worked wonderfully well with the orchestra. This was a fun session-thanks, Guys!
Oh, Alan and Pontus tried, but I couldn't pick up the words because we had some lag when recording this. It's my fault this version pretty much "needed" to be chosen. I hope you'll forgive that, as I really wanted to follow the words while hearing the song for the first time. 😊
I wasn't really choosing (except at the end when given two choices and I claimed Shield). Alan and Pontus actually surprised me by having me react to any songs. I thought we'd be talking and nothing else. Thank you for the corrections and some additional information. I'm glad that overall this was fun for you - if I was in on the plans, it would probably be a bit more stuck up. This way, we could all kind of relax and enjoy the fun.
👏👏👏👍🙏💜🪷🩷🩷🩷
Thank you for all 3 of us! ❤❤❤
If you’re an angel you’ll definitely love Ren..check him out..his talent is off the scale. Loved this yiu guys. Thx 🙏
Oh, I have to agree with you. Not sure what the connection is, but I have discovered both AJ and Ren recently. You're right, love 'em both!
Perhaps that one person is God. Angelina is certainly a religious person.
Hmmm, that would never cross my mind. Then again, I am not religious. Love how so many different takes come out of one song. 😊
