It takes a person who lives from the heart to understand a singer like Angelina who lives in her heart and is trying to express the Love that she sees and feels at the very core of her being. Thank you to Angelina for sharing with us the journey she is taking to her soul. And for you having the heart to show us the journey she is on.
As classy as she is, she doesnt go to far or show off but gives us exactly what we need and left wanting more. Its all intentional. Im waiting for the pure unleashed power she holds inside to come out. She sometimes gets that lioness focused on its meal look. One day we will hear it, like thunder from the heavens.
A precious rare gem radiating class, talent, beauty, humbleness, and love. For that we are very lucky and grateful. Thank you for another great reaction video.
That was grandma Mery at the beginning,hopefully fully recovered from her operation,and Angelina sang her heart out for her and her fans.Beautiful reaction Adam,thank you so much.
Thank you Adam for your heart touching reaction to our Earthly Angel 🙏 ❤ 😊 You have so much respect and adoration for her journey and talent. It's beautiful. The best getting better seems impossible but here we are...EPIC MASTERPIECE! Many blessings sweet Barefoot Princess 👣👸😇🥰(I want to thank Adele for a beautiful song)! So happy to see Grandmother Mery. Their bond is so lovely and heartwarming 💕 blessings 🙌 💖 👣👸🥰 Angel-ina fills my heart! Be well...🥰
you must see that she sing with her eyes close most of the time,she goes to another place in her soul and brings us along to the love we ALL can feel ...god bless A.J.
It’s stunning what Angelina can do with her voice. And you can see that she has complete confidence in every note. Despite the extremes of belting, head voice, whispering, vibrato, runs, riffs, melismas, etc., she never makes you feel that the vocals are challenging to her. Her effort, if you can describe it that way, is in the emotion she puts into delivering the lyrics. And her innate musicality keeps surprising us. We want to her Angelina’s take on a new song because we’re listening to every line, waiting to see how she is going to put her stamp on it. This song is just stunning. I thought when Angelina was about 11 or 12 that she was the best singer I ever heard. I still feel that way, but she has gotten better every year. How does anyone sing this song better? And what can Angelina do five years from now? 10 years? 30 years?
Your reaction was so amazing to watch, I watched you throughout the video, and although you were trying to just react to Angelina and her version of the song....I watched your eyes. Your eyes always lit up when you could relate on a deep level of the song. You reminded me of a person who has heard something from someone before, but it doesn't hit home, yet fall on someone else and they are saying the same thing, but they way they say it finally makes everything crystal clear to you and changes your whole perspective. Awesome reaction. Wish nothing but love for you. Be well, stay safe and be good.
I love Adele's version, it is first class but Angelina has edged her. The first time I heard this I was struck by the fact that Adele was Angelina's age when Angelina was born! How good will she be at 30?
The trouble with Angelina's covers is she is just so good that no matter how long the video is , you just get lost in her voice and before you know it it is over, and you think no no no I want more. Agree Adam this was performance was just a at a level that not many could attain. it deserves all kinds of awards.
"Another masterpiece from Angelina, professional talented with a world unique voice. And of course there are very good singers in the whole world but, no one like Her. There are not enough words to express all of the beauty of her voice on every rendition. I personally consider it her, nowadays, the number one in whole world IMHO"
So many reactors say, I didn't expect this, haha. In the same breath we think, well it's Angelina, of course we expect this. We can't expect anything less. It's Angelina! I hope she always surprises us with the unexpected.
I've listen to Adele and 7 other covers of this...l've completely lost track of how many times l've listened to Angelina's version. There are so many observations concerning Angelina's version...My most basic observation is : The major difference from all the covers I've heard ( keep in mind, l have heard many talented singers do this), Is Angelina is the only one that brings SOUL to it. I think that's why black folks get her quicker than anyone else. I'm a jazz lover, and l understand from Angie's background and phrasing why people call her a jazz singer, but honestly she is a SOUL singer, not necessarily in R&B sense, but naturally in truth.
I'm going to go WAY out on a limb here . . . I will share with you what I feel is Angelina's unique viewpoint that led to her great interpretation of this song. I believe Angelina immersed herself in what her life would have been like if she had been raised in a much less warmly supportive environment than she has been -- or even one as dysfunctional as AW's was. She was actually feeling empathy in this song for that much less fortunate Angelina . . . and for other performers before her who lacked the support they needed. . . . and when she was done, I'm sure she appreciated what she has today through her amazing family even more.
She makes me so proud!! I think she is walking around, happy as a lark, knowing what she is capable of and planning how she is going to show the world. This child's journey is a real honour to witness.
As usual; AJ has taken this to an ethereal level she is without a doubt a genius. There is something that is so special about AJ and It is not just her wonderful voice; it is her total being that draws one in.
It's true that Angelina used a number of different vocal tools here but we should be quite hesitant to say she used all her skills. We know that Angelina's self-directed performance arts education has her taking big songs and delivering them, even elevating them with changes small or large. No one is immune, no artist off limits, no masterwork is safe. She has been doing such her whole career. I think she is, in her sweet Angelina way, making a bit of a statement with this one. As when she covered Bob Dylan's "Make You Feel My Love" and sang the lyric "You ain't seen nothin' like me yet", this whole performance is Angelina saying 'Get ready, I'm coming'..
Adam, You did not have to say a word for this to be the best reaction of Angelina and this song yet! The look on your face from the first word to the end was priceless!! I personally think that Angelina has always shown a degree of maturing with each song over her last one, and the last 4-5 song have been almost unbelievable. BUT, with this cover she has almost totally reached adult vocal maturity even thou she is only 15! It blows my mind to even try to think what her voice and talent will be like by the time she is 20! I really would love to someday hear a duet with Angelina and Adele singing one of Adele's songs together! Again, great reaction as always!!!
Adam, I can't stop listening to this. I heard Adele's original and several other covers first but Angelina's is, as you described "transcendent." She has gone to a new level of touching my soul.
Yes, Adam. An #AngelinaJordan journey indeed. This one was special because she gives us more than a song cover. She tells us a story, with a beginning, a body of elements, and a finish. I could tell that you just about wanted to cry and if you did that would have been fair. So glad that you reviewed this one, my friend.
Angelina is a great artist with a hypnotizing voice, but obviously she can directly relate to this song her own. ( i was still a child, didn't have the chance to...) Must have been a real lark for her family, to deal with her. When she wrote " Shield", she sang "forgive me for all that I am"... Now, "go easy on me". Remember, the tears, running down her mothers face, when she performed "Gloomy Sunday" on NGT? For me these tears always were the tears of a mother, being overwhelmed and realizing, she had to share her little baby with the whole world from this moment on. And Sara Astar and her Grandma Mery Zamani always had her back, guided her, protected her and let her dream come true, as good as possible. So yes, Angelina surely has an own relation to this song from many reasons. And she loves Adelle and can feel her...
Not enough is ever said about Angelina's grandmother, Mery Zamani, for it was she who exposed her granddaughter to jazz when she was a baby. Being a child prodigy herself (art and poetry), she knew that special babies could absorb formal music, including lyrics, at a much earlier time in life than average humans can. As you know, Angelina first began singing aloud by 1-1/2. When Angelina sings heartfelt ballads you can detect nuance and inflections that were done by Billie Holiday (old style jazz) and Amy Winehouse, the most uniquely different jazz singer of all time. Adele is great, but there is no way a non-jazz singer, even a great one like Adele, can match the passion that goes to the deepest parts of the human soul by Angelina. Thank you, Mery Zamani, for I believe there is no way Angelina could have progressed as fast as she has without your involvement in her life.
@@wajj1842 Most definitely ! It's as if the stars had to be aligned perfectly for a child prodigy to delve into the mind of a baby that she could only hope was also one. Hope, one day, a full interview with Mery Zamani could fill us in on a step by step account of how she got her granddaughter to sing songs aloud at 1-1/2 from memory. It belongs on an old show I used to watch, called 'Believe It Or Not ?'
@@floridabill1873 It wouldn't surprise me if Mery was an integral part of the writing with Angelina for her song 'Million Miles'. I know Angelina is close with Sara but with regard to grandma they're like 'two peas in a pod'.
@@ridgemanron There's no doubt that Sara is a wonderful mother who loves her daughters immensely, and would do anything to keep them safe and happy. And Michael is a terrific uncle/manager/father figure. But the bond between Angelina and Mery is beyond special. That bond is at the center of the meaning and purpose in both their lives. I can only imagine the horrible feeling experienced by Angelina while watching her beloved grandma being wheeled into surgery. Watching how they touch at the beginning of "Easy on Me", brought tears to my eyes. I believe, when there is a bond like they have, it can only come from grandparent/grandchild. And anyone who gets to experience that is indeed Blessed.
As excpected it was a great reaction Adam. I'm with you in all points you made. Angelina shines through this performance and after maybe 20 times hearing it, this feels always like the first. I too think this her best yet, a turning point perhaps, telling us all that she's ready to take over the world. I'm sure she will, soon enough.
Damn Adam, you left no stone unturned. Having followed Angelina on her journey to be on the world stage, I can confidently say that, for me, there is no song that I've heard Angelina sing that is more appealing. You captured an emotion that I suspect that most of Angelina's fans experience and I experienced it again in listening to your reaction. As I listened, I too felt very proud and this is, at this point in the journey, what I seem to experience most often - this overwhelming sense of pride for what she accomplishes with her music. I have often thought, "There is no way that she can top what I'm listening to, but then, she does top it with her next release and, with this cover, it has left no doubt that her growth as an artist continues unabated. You made my day Adam. Thank you so much for keeping Angelina on your radar.
The unique thing about Angelina's runs that I have always noted is that they are not forced or "inserted" into the song. The runs she does are just very natural and fit where she puts them like they are just part of the expression.
Yes you are right, she showed us everything in this song. No descriptive words do it justice. And to think that her voice has about 10 more years to mature is mind blowing. Might I add that your reactions of Angelina are a pleasure to watch. Your love for her is appreciated.
Angelina is the barefooted Queen of Soul with a Thousand Voices! She weaves musical tapestries in all colors of the rainbow with her beguiling voice! Her musical artistry is second to none and it not something that can be taught. Soul + Music in perfect harmony!
Great reaction & I totally agree with what you said. This is her best work & she just keeps getting better & better. She used a lot of her musical tools in this, more than in any other song she has sung so far, but by no means did she use all of them. Until you have heard all her 150 or so songs, & the multiple versions of the same song sung in different styles, will you see all she's got & by then she will have probably perfected a few new ones. Love your insightful Angelina videos.
Adam, great reaction. AJ's runs are so distinct -- fully agree -- but also her vocal fry is just so controlled and on pitch. I mean, who pitches vocal fry? And then add the breathiness as contrast to the fry . . . it's over the top control. AJ is about class and control. And then the weird thing is, all the emotion gets added as well. She holds the emotion back, then releases it in fry and breathiness. It's just astonishing how she commands her voice. She just controls my reaction to her performance in a way that I've never heard before. This is her genius.
AJ does super clean runs, and she does them with a jazz singer timing, and great creativity! AJ's timing in this song when she goes "eeeassy ON me" is a bit different from Adeles, and to my ears more tasteful. Dang I love her taste!
OUTSTANDING REVIEW Adam! KUDOS. This is now my fave AJ performance. The "head voice" got me since we don't get it often and the runs are always to perfection, making each note in the run special. The last phrasing with the big belt just slaps you in the face and then followed with such a soulful run. Her body language and gestures added to this performance as well. You're right she really showed so much of her arsenal but not overdone. She recently did a cover of "ENDLESS LOVE" and "FIELDS OF GOLD" on TikTok that are spectacular! Thanks Adam
This is my 10 time Hearing it I still got tears in my eyes and goosebumps this girl is phenomenal hypnotic divine wife thanks been touched by an angel voice is divine I think you come out of the womb sanging She is an Artist
I just love your reaction. Thank you Adam. That was her grandma she did embrace in the video. Her grandma who was a prodigy and jazzsinger herself, is the reason why she grew up with jazz and soul. Her grandma just had a surgery, seriously ill, and it has been hard on Angelina who loves her dearly. Ann from Norway
I've been waiting for your reaction. I have to believe her parents and label have a long term launch strategy because she is absolutely cable of having an explosive career at 15. I kind of hope they do use Chinese water torture one release at a time steady unit she's 16 or 18. I know I'll being buying 4 tickets first row floor.
She brings me to tears seeing so much emotion oozing from her...she touches your heart every single time and gets you deep to your core every single time!! I can't stop listening to this and to her daily . She is a beautiful soul with the soothing voice of an angel !! Can't get enough and wish her a slow steady and successful musical journey ! What I love about her is success isn't about $ ...it's about sharing her gift snd as she has said she wants to sing for the whole world!! And she will...and lucky for all.of us who have had the pleasure of discovering this rare gem. Pure beauty inside and out 🎶💗😊💗🎶 Also have to give Adele credit for being such an inspiration to Angelina . Adele has q gift to express such deep emotions through her song writing. And her lyrics are beyond amazing!@ There's the coolest mash-up of Angelina jordan and Adele by the way...brilliantly done!! A must watch...please react!! Really shows each of their interpretations of the world and their voices just melt together so smoothly check is out sorry not sure the link bit Google will get ya there . Have a great day!! Very touching reaction by the way 😊
Agree with everything you’ve highlighted! I love that she excels in simplicity, yet also when in the midst of a full band or orchestra. She is always surrounded by quality musicians so you know she is well respected in the music industry. Excellent cover, it’s perfect for her. I love how she can carry a note into infinity.
I have been enjoyIng Angelina for more than five years and she never disappoints. What a delightful human. And what a remarkable performer/performance. Sweet! And thank You, Adam. You are a joy to watch and learn from. I’ve been following you for just a short time, and I will continue to do so. What a nice way to begin my Saturday morning, here in NYC on a warm sunny autumn day. Kudos to my wife for the recommendation.
@@AdamStraughan wonderful! (I love my city) so by now you know your way around a bit. I don’t go out like I used to . . . and it was more new wave jazz reggae rock... in the more recent years, small clubs like City Winery, Joe’s Pub, Pangea. Fun places like Club Cumming (Alan C’s place). Years ago there were too many places to mention...I was out 3-4 nights a week). Whatever you do, music or theater or museums ...good food... (whatever is open and hopefully easily accessible re Covid ) Have a great time! I was in England only once ...decades ago. My niece and her husband and kids moved to London 10 years ago. She comes back summertime so at least I get to see them once a year. Hopefully I’ll get to see them and England next year.
I really enjoyed your reaction Adam and everything you said was so accurate in my opinion as I feel the same.Where do you begin to describe such a beautiful artist and as you said it was total perfection
I discovered Angelina late in "Got Talent"And i watched many Parts of that Show.And i found some great and Unique Singers i loved.Until Angelina.After here i cant watch Castingshows anymore becouse i found what i was looking for.From that Point,Angelina is Part of my Life and i allways search for new Stuff from here.She have that Talent and gift to bring a smile in everyones Face.
her Trade mark ,,,,,,she never finished a song where you think she would,,,,,its always her ending and never ours,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,thanks for reaction Adam,,,,,,,,,
She is still a child and singing like this. That was her grandmother in the beginning. There is something about the rasp in her voice that adds texture to the song. I really liked the ending because she makes it sound like she has been through a lot and is exhausted and pleading for a respite. I really did not get that from Adele's version. Adele has talked about wanting to retire. She might want to just write and let Angelina perform. Did anyone hear a little Janis Joplin from time to time.
I could definetly hear Janis Joplin /Tina Turner when she sang "LOVING YOU" when she was age 11. That night (outdoor concert) she was in "Beast Mode" First I was shocked, and amazed, but it quickly turned into being so proud of her. Now she is a statuesque 6+ tall, and so mature looking, and acting that she is definetly ready for concerts on the world stage, with her as the headliner.
That was grandma Mery who recently had successful cancer surgery, and looks to be recovering well. Taking up her familiar post at Angelina's side. It is easy to see how important that connection is just from that one picture alone, especially if you've never had that bond. This one comes from her true heart. .reaching out and snatching that high note was done so well it really got to me. I feel another level of singing has been reached by Angelina. There is an extra edge to this song that wasn't there before. I think I know and probably many others have also figured it out too. That was a special couple of frames of pictures at the start, that tell the story. Thank you Adam for your priceless responses to Angelina's offering. This song was special to her and for you, and now the rest of us. Thank you again.
Hi Adam! Thanks for your excelent reaction as usual. This still girl is actually amazing and she's only 15..... just the age when Adele appeared (I remember it well) on My Space and RUclips . Angelina at 15 (16 in a couple of moths), has walked a long long awesome way to stardom.....and counting. I wish sometime A.J. and Adele could sing together on stage it would be great.... Please take care, stay safe and healthy. Peace and hugs from Barcelona - SPAIN
The woman you see with Angelina, in the beginning, is her grandmother Mery who is the major guiding force in Angelina's artistic life. She introduced Jazz to Angelina when she was a baby. It is also important to keep in mind that Angelina's grandmother is a well-known artist (painter) and poet who, herself was a child prodigy. As far as the men in the video, one of them are Rob Christie, who is in charge of the Republic Records Los Angeles Studio and has been Angelina's pianist on more recent videos. The other person I am not sure of but is most likely the recording engineer.
Adam, you're one of the best and most insightful reactors of Angelina. I love your honest and genuine appreciation for this incredible artist. And to think she is not quite 16 years old. Few artists have achieved such perfection by this age. You're able to appreciate both her technical skills but more importantly the emotional connection she is able to instinctively and effortlessly make to us. There is no explanation for her ability to "connect " with us. She truly has a "supernatural" ability to convay the emotion of the lyrics like no other artist in my lifetime (72 years so far). I hope to be here long enough to attend a concert of hers someday. I don't subscribe easily but you have earned mine. Again, thank you Adam!
It's her Grandma Mery and Angelina in the Control Room of the Studio. Grandma Mery just recently had an operation and Angelina was very emotional around that time. So here they are in a control room .. I'm sure many many times they've been right there .. ready to hear a recording or see a video .. beautiful indeed. It actually made me teary even before she started singing!
Angelina has this amazing capability to ,like u said put new life into Adele's beautiful song,, to conway the emotions i found two words that describe her * Musical Tenderness * ♥️
That was Angelina's grandmother Mery Zamani, who is recovering from a serious operation. It is good to see her present at this wonderful performance, probably the best medicine she could have.
I thought Adele was awesome listening to her but when I heard this song from Angelina, I was crying a river. I was teary eyed I had to listen to it again and again...(tears of joy 😃).
Watching this again I think when you start talking about Angelina doesn't do a run just for the runs sake she does them because they fit the song and the song wouldn't be the same without it. I get the same feeling when listening to Daneliya. Neither she nor Angelina puts runs or other little add-ons just because they can. They put them in the song because they are essential. I these two young singers 'My Twins' mainly because I found them 3 days apart in November of 2017. Then they were both born in 2006. They both won major singing/talent shows at a young age. They both have incredible families and their total support. They both have voices that are more adult than they are kids voices. They both are exceedingly brilliant musically, but also in other areas as well. They both are humble and approachable. They are both incredibly beautiful in appearance. It is a shame that some fans from cannot find the space in their hearts for both these phenomenal young singers. I know you have given favorable reactions to both and I love both these young ladies as if they were my granddaughters. Thank you Adam for, above all else, being able to have room for both these singers. An aside, I have chronic health issues and am in pain, all the time. Often that pain jumps on me with both feet especially in the middle of the night when the meds stop being effective. So while waiting for the latest dose to take hold, I surf the 'Net' looking for exactly what I found in those three days. Anyway, I wanted to tell you thanks for being open to having the room to be a fan of more than one singer.
Somehow she is getting better and better. Wow that was awesome. These 2 make a great pair and almost a full 4 minutes of Angelina was wonderful. Kudos to Adele for a truly great song. I look at her Tiktok like an appetizer before the main course. Give Angelina her credit due on her Cover Channel ruclips.net/video/Mpw5Q76hWWE/видео.html
Could not agree more. It is amazing how every time when she comes out with a big new song and we can't wait to hear and know it will be amazing and also knowing it will be better than anything she's done before and then we hear it and it exceeds our high expectations and we are so very proud. She is one of one.
Adam, Job well done, I ready enjoy your reaction and comments made about Angelina's cover of Adele's new song "Easy on Me". I also love Angelina voice which penetrates your soul and touches your heart every time she sings.
NOOOOOOO NOOOOOOO...ES PERFECTA...GENIAAAAA..NOS VUELVE LOCOOOOOS....TIENE TANTO DE ESPECIAL...NO SOLO SU VOZ, SU HUMILDAD ,EL AMOR A SU FAMILIA...ES UN TODO DE COSAS HERMOSAS FELICIDADES ANGELINA CONTINÚA CON TUS ÉXITOS TE SOBRA TALENTO MUÑEQUITA HERMOSA 😇👣💯💯💥👍👍👍👍😘😘❤❤❤❤❤
I'm a fan of angelina Jordan since she was 6 or 7 years old. She graciously become the best singer. I really love her.
Adam it is Angelinas Grandma she gives a hug, so good performance she is marvelous amazing. Thanks for your good comments.
It takes a person who lives from the heart to understand a singer like Angelina who lives in her heart and is trying to express the Love that she sees and feels at the very core of her being. Thank you to Angelina for sharing with us the journey she is taking to her soul. And for you having the heart to show us the journey she is on.
Eat your heart out Adele. This is pure class. Pitch perfect and totally effortless.
It is hard to imagine how anyone could ever improve upon Angelina's rendition of this song. IMO, it is perfection.
So beautiful. The very best. Thanks Adelle, thanks Angelina. And thanks for the reaction Adam. 💖💖💖
As classy as she is, she doesnt go to far or show off but gives us exactly what we need and left wanting more. Its all intentional. Im waiting for the pure unleashed power she holds inside to come out. She sometimes gets that lioness focused on its meal look. One day we will hear it, like thunder from the heavens.
A precious rare gem radiating class, talent, beauty, humbleness, and love.
For that we are very lucky and grateful.
Thank you for another great reaction video.
Adam, your comments are absolutely perfect. To me, this is Angelina's best performance yet...a perfect cover of a great Adele song. Ear candy!
That was grandma Mery at the beginning,hopefully fully recovered from her operation,and Angelina sang her heart out for her and her fans.Beautiful reaction Adam,thank you so much.
The older woman was her grandmother Mery Zamani, she has just had surgery so it was very nice to her in the video =)
we have watched her since the beginning and feel proud of her as if she is a family member ,great reaction and feel your proud of her as well
Time just stops for me in this performance! Immaculate!
Thank you Adam for your heart touching reaction to our Earthly Angel 🙏 ❤ 😊 You have so much respect and adoration for her journey and talent. It's beautiful. The best getting better seems impossible but here we are...EPIC MASTERPIECE! Many blessings sweet Barefoot Princess 👣👸😇🥰(I want to thank Adele for a beautiful song)! So happy to see Grandmother Mery.

It was so great to see Angelina got her Grandma back. Beautiful song.....great reaction Adam!!
It’s stunning what Angelina can do with her voice. And you can see that she has complete confidence in every note.

I thought when Angelina was about 11 or 12 that she was the best singer I ever heard. I still feel that way, but she has gotten better every year. How does anyone sing this song better? And what can Angelina do five years from now? 10 years? 30 years?
Thanks Adam - 15 years old, and this cover - EPIC! 👍👍😊😊
No words. Just sensational! We are waiting for your album, Angelina!
Your reaction was so amazing to watch, I watched you throughout the video, and although you were trying to just react to Angelina and her version of the song....I watched your eyes.

It's a beautiful version... I would love to know how Angelina will be in 10 years...
Frank, gosh!!! We humans will just have to wait to wait for those ten years.
10yrs....try 10 days.
I love Adele's version, it is first class but Angelina has edged her. The first time I heard this I was struck by the fact that Adele was Angelina's age when Angelina was born! How good will she be at 30?
The trouble with Angelina's covers is she is just so good that no matter how long the video is , you just get lost in her voice and before you know it it is over, and you think no no no I want more. Agree Adam this was performance was just a at a level that not many could attain. it deserves all kinds of awards.
that's true eh?
sometimes I wonder what parts of a song she's leaving out only to realize she just makes time stand still.
"Another masterpiece from Angelina, professional talented with a world unique voice. And of course there are very good singers in the whole world but, no one like Her.

the man on piano is Rob Christie, he is the studio director for Republic/Universal, he has also won grammys
There is a man behind every succesful woman :-)
@@Denito_legal in Angelina's case it's her Grandma 💕

I love the way she surfs when she sings. Amazingness. She brings song to life! ❤️
Thanks for great reaction 😍❤️
As with every performance by Angelina, it gets better the more you listen to it.
I agree with you I have listened to this so many
I agree with you I have listened to this so many
I agree with you I have listened to this so many times
I agree with you I have listened to this so many times
I've listen to Adele and 7 other covers of this...l've completely lost track of how many times l've listened to Angelina's version. There are so many observations concerning Angelina's version...My most basic observation is : The major difference from all the covers I've heard ( keep in mind, l have heard many talented singers do this), Is Angelina is the only one that brings SOUL to it. I think that's why black folks get her quicker than anyone else. I'm a jazz lover, and l understand from Angie's background and phrasing why people call her a jazz singer, but honestly she is a SOUL singer, not necessarily in R&B sense, but naturally in truth.
I love your reaction
Angelina Jordan is amazing...
I'm going to go WAY out on a limb here . . . I will share with you what I feel is Angelina's unique viewpoint that led to her great interpretation of this song.
I believe Angelina immersed herself in what her life would have been like if she had been raised in a much less warmly supportive environment than she has been -- or even one as dysfunctional as AW's was. She was actually feeling empathy in this song for that much less fortunate Angelina . . . and for other performers before her who lacked the support they needed.
. . . and when she was done, I'm sure she appreciated what she has today through her amazing family even more.
She makes me so proud!! I think she is walking around, happy as a lark, knowing what she is capable of and planning how she is going to show the world. This child's journey is a real honour to witness.
As usual; AJ has taken this to an ethereal level she is without a doubt a genius. There is something that is so special about AJ and It is not just her wonderful voice; it is her total being that draws one in.
I love her,
I think it is getting better and better for each time I am hearing it 🥰
It's true that Angelina used a number of different vocal tools here but we should be quite hesitant to say she used all her skills. We know that Angelina's self-directed performance arts education has her taking big songs and delivering them, even elevating them with changes small or large. No one is immune, no artist off limits, no masterwork is safe. She has been doing such her whole career. I think she is, in her sweet Angelina way, making a bit of a statement with this one. As when she covered Bob Dylan's "Make You Feel My Love" and sang the lyric "You ain't seen nothin' like me yet", this whole performance is Angelina saying 'Get ready, I'm coming'..
Adam, You did not have to say a word for this to be the best reaction of Angelina and this song yet! The look on your face from the first word to the end was priceless!! I personally think that Angelina has always shown a degree of maturing with each song over her last one, and the last 4-5 song have been almost unbelievable. BUT, with this cover she has almost totally reached adult vocal maturity even thou she is only 15! It blows my mind to even try to think what her voice and talent will be like by the time she is 20! I really would love to someday hear a duet with Angelina and Adele singing one of Adele's songs together! Again, great reaction as always!!!
Adele and Angelina sing Easy on Me duet at the 2022 Grammys. Make it happen!
@@leechap3 It will be incredible , an historic performance!
Adam, I can't stop listening to this. I heard Adele's original and several other covers first but Angelina's is, as you described "transcendent." She has gone to a new level
of touching my soul.
I’m still holding out for you, MJ’s Billie Jean,
Yes, Adam. An #AngelinaJordan journey indeed. This one was special because she gives us more than a song cover. She tells us a story, with a beginning, a body of elements, and a finish. I could tell that you just about wanted to cry and if you did that would have been fair. So glad that you reviewed this one, my friend.
This girl is so popular soon you won't even be able to reserve a fold-up chair on a sidewalk outside the concert arena where she is headlining.
Brilliant!
Another Masterpiece from Angelina!!🤩🤩🤩🤩
Thanks again Adam. Agree with everything. And with all the other comments. Just brilliant
Angelina is a great artist with a hypnotizing voice, but obviously she can directly relate to this song her own. ( i was still a child, didn't have the chance to...) Must have been a real lark for her family, to deal with her. When she wrote " Shield", she sang "forgive me for all that I am"... Now, "go easy on me". Remember, the tears, running down her mothers face, when she performed "Gloomy Sunday" on NGT? For me these tears always were the tears of a mother, being overwhelmed and realizing, she had to share her little baby with the whole world from this moment on. And Sara Astar and her Grandma Mery Zamani always had her back, guided her, protected her and let her dream come true, as good as possible. So yes, Angelina surely has an own relation to this song from many reasons. And she loves Adelle and can feel her...
Not enough is ever said about Angelina's grandmother, Mery Zamani, for
it was she who exposed her granddaughter to jazz when she was a baby.
Being a child prodigy herself (art and poetry), she knew that special babies
could absorb formal music, including lyrics, at a much earlier time in life
than average humans can. As you know, Angelina first began singing aloud
by 1-1/2. When Angelina sings heartfelt ballads you can detect nuance and
inflections that were done by Billie Holiday (old style jazz) and Amy Winehouse,
the most uniquely different jazz singer of all time. Adele is great, but there is
no way a non-jazz singer, even a great one like Adele, can match the passion
that goes to the deepest parts of the human soul by Angelina. Thank you,
Mery Zamani, for I believe there is no way Angelina could have progressed
as fast as she has without your involvement in her life.
Overall, Mery is probably the single most influential person in Angelina's life. Without Mery, there would be no Angelina as we know her.
@@wajj1842 Most definitely ! It's as if the stars had to be
aligned perfectly for a child prodigy to delve into the mind of a
baby that she could only hope was also one. Hope, one day, a
full interview with Mery Zamani could fill us in on a step by step
account of how she got her granddaughter to sing songs aloud
at 1-1/2 from memory. It belongs on an old show I used to watch,
called 'Believe It Or Not ?'
Imagine, a poem by Mery, put to music and performed by her granddaughter. I would think how many times WOW or WHAT?
@@floridabill1873 It wouldn't surprise me if Mery was an integral
part of the writing with Angelina for her song 'Million Miles'.
I know Angelina is close with Sara but with regard to grandma
they're like 'two peas in a pod'.
@@ridgemanron There's no doubt that Sara is a wonderful mother who loves her daughters immensely, and would do anything to keep them safe and happy. And Michael is a terrific uncle/manager/father figure. But the bond between Angelina and Mery is beyond special. That bond is at the center of the meaning and purpose in both their lives. I can only imagine the horrible feeling experienced by Angelina while watching her beloved grandma being wheeled into surgery. Watching how they touch at the beginning of "Easy on Me", brought tears to my eyes. I believe, when there is a bond like they have, it can only come from grandparent/grandchild. And anyone who gets to experience that is indeed Blessed.
As excpected it was a great reaction Adam. I'm with you in all points you made. Angelina shines through this performance and after maybe 20 times hearing it, this feels always like the first. I too think this her best yet, a turning point perhaps, telling us all that she's ready to take over the world. I'm sure she will, soon enough.
Wow, I hope I live long enough to see her on stage.
So great to see you feel the same way about this song as I do. Much appreciated!
Damn Adam, you left no stone unturned. Having followed Angelina on her journey to be on the world stage, I can confidently say that, for me, there is no song that I've heard Angelina sing that is more appealing. You captured an emotion that I suspect that most of Angelina's fans experience and I experienced it again in listening to your reaction. As I listened, I too felt very proud and this is, at this point in the journey, what I seem to experience most often - this overwhelming sense of pride for what she accomplishes with her music. I have often thought, "There is no way that she can top what I'm listening to, but then, she does top it with her next release and, with this cover, it has left no doubt that her growth as an artist continues unabated. You made my day Adam. Thank you so much for keeping Angelina on your radar.
Well said :)
The unique thing about Angelina's runs that I have always noted is that they are not forced or "inserted" into the song. The runs she does are just very natural and fit where she puts them like they are just part of the expression.
I agree with you Phil
Yes you are right, she showed us everything in this song. No descriptive words do it justice. And to think that her voice has about 10 more years to mature is mind blowing. Might I add that your reactions of Angelina are a pleasure to watch. Your love for her is appreciated.
Angelina is the barefooted Queen of Soul with a Thousand Voices! She weaves musical tapestries in all colors of the rainbow with her beguiling voice! Her musical artistry is second to none and it not something that can be taught. Soul + Music in perfect harmony!
She "breaks perfectly"! (Whatever that means) and effortlessly.
Great reaction & I totally agree with what you said. This is her best work & she just keeps getting better & better. She used a lot of her musical tools in this, more than in any other song she has sung so far, but by no means did she use all of them. Until you have heard all her 150 or so songs, & the multiple versions of the same song sung in different styles, will you see all she's got & by then she will have probably perfected a few new ones. Love your insightful Angelina videos.
Jeeezus Angel... take a breath now and then!
?
@@AdamStraughan Her breathcontrol is amazing, you never hear her take a breath!
Adam, great reaction. AJ's runs are so distinct -- fully agree -- but also her vocal fry is just so controlled and on pitch. I mean, who pitches vocal fry? And then add the breathiness as contrast to the fry . . . it's over the top control. AJ is about class and control. And then the weird thing is, all the emotion gets added as well. She holds the emotion back, then releases it in fry and breathiness. It's just astonishing how she commands her voice. She just controls my reaction to her performance in a way that I've never heard before. This is her genius.
AJ does super clean runs, and she does them with a jazz singer timing, and great creativity! AJ's timing in this song when she goes "eeeassy ON me" is a bit different from Adeles, and to my ears more tasteful. Dang I love her taste!
OUTSTANDING REVIEW Adam! KUDOS. This is now my fave AJ performance. The "head voice" got me since we don't get it often and the runs are always to perfection, making each note in the run special. The last phrasing with the big belt just slaps you in the face and then followed with such a soulful run. Her body language and gestures added to this performance as well. You're right she really showed so much of her arsenal but not overdone. She recently did a cover of "ENDLESS LOVE" and "FIELDS OF GOLD" on TikTok that are spectacular! Thanks Adam
@@rev.bobertbockstop7057 Sorry all this has happened! Take care and We'll get in touch again when you're able. Praying for you
This is my 10 time Hearing it I still got tears in my eyes and goosebumps this girl is phenomenal hypnotic divine wife thanks been touched by an angel voice is divine I think you come out of the womb sanging
She is an Artist
I just love your reaction. Thank you Adam. That was her grandma she did embrace in the video. Her grandma who was a prodigy and jazzsinger herself, is the reason why she grew up with jazz and soul. Her grandma just had a surgery, seriously ill, and it has been hard on Angelina who loves her dearly. Ann from Norway
Nice reaction Adam. Good catch on Angelina's use of head voice. Just another tool in her Increasingly impressive toolkit.
Absolutely stunning Angelina thank you Adam.....
I've been waiting for your reaction. I have to believe her parents and label have a long term launch strategy because she is absolutely cable of having an explosive career at 15. I kind of hope they do use Chinese water torture one release at a time steady unit she's 16 or 18.
I know I'll being buying 4 tickets first row floor.
Adele watched her sing this with her jaw dropped. Amazing.
Oh really? Nice. Do you have a link to a video?
Great reaction! What will she be like when she is Adele 's age.
She brings me to tears seeing so much emotion oozing from her...she touches your heart every single time and gets you deep to your core every single time!! I can't stop listening to this and to her daily . She is a beautiful soul with the soothing voice of an angel !!
Can't get enough and wish her a slow steady and successful musical journey ! What I love about her is success isn't about $ ...it's about sharing her gift snd as she has said she wants to sing for the whole world!! And she will...and lucky for all.of us who have had the pleasure of discovering this rare gem. Pure beauty inside and out 🎶💗😊💗🎶
Also have to give Adele credit for being such an inspiration to Angelina . Adele has q gift to express such deep emotions through her song writing. And her lyrics are beyond amazing!@
There's the coolest mash-up of Angelina jordan and Adele by the way...brilliantly done!! A must watch...please react!! Really shows each of their interpretations of the world and their voices just melt together so smoothly check is out sorry not sure the link bit Google will get ya there . Have a great day!! Very touching reaction by the way 😊
Agree with everything you’ve highlighted! I love that she excels in simplicity, yet also when in the midst of a full band or orchestra. She is always surrounded by quality musicians so you know she is well respected in the music industry. Excellent cover, it’s perfect for her. I love how she can carry a note into infinity.
So damn gorgeous andbeautiful like you Best and looses Adele streets ahead.Frances fromScotland
I have been enjoyIng Angelina for more than five years and she never disappoints. What a delightful human. And what a remarkable performer/performance.
Sweet!
And thank You, Adam. You are a joy to watch and learn from. I’ve been following you for just a short time, and I will continue to do so. What a nice way to begin my Saturday morning, here in NYC on a warm sunny autumn day. Kudos to my wife for the recommendation.
Thank you so much! I look forward to being in NYC in December next month 😁
I’m assuming it’s not your first time? Enjoy! Hope you get to hear some music.
@@foxandscout It’ll be my 5th time 😁
@@AdamStraughan wonderful! (I love my city) so by now you know your way around a bit. I don’t go out like I used to . . . and it was more new wave jazz reggae rock... in the more recent years, small clubs like City Winery, Joe’s Pub, Pangea. Fun places like Club Cumming (Alan C’s place). Years ago there were too many places to mention...I was out 3-4 nights a week).
Whatever you do, music or theater or museums ...good food... (whatever is open and hopefully easily accessible re Covid ) Have a great time! I was in England only once ...decades ago. My niece and her husband and kids moved to London 10 years ago. She comes back summertime so at least I get to see them once a year. Hopefully I’ll get to see them and England next year.
Truly mesmerizing...everything has been said, but another world...thank you girl
Don't forget she is still 15 years old which adds another level to this,, She is just 🧡🧡🧡
Best so far. A new favourite
I really enjoyed your reaction Adam and everything you said was so accurate in my opinion as I feel the same.Where do you begin to describe such a beautiful artist and as you said it was total perfection
WOW IS RIGHT!!! 👍👍👍❤
Utter perfection, never a truer statement. I love Adele but she just does not have the same effect on me. Angelina adds life.
Angelina is to music what Audrey Hepburn was to movies.....pure class!
I discovered Angelina late in "Got Talent"And i watched many Parts of that Show.And i found some great and Unique Singers i loved.Until Angelina.After here i cant watch Castingshows anymore becouse i found what i was looking for.From that Point,Angelina is Part of my Life and i allways search for new Stuff from here.She have that Talent and gift to bring a smile in everyones Face.
her Trade mark ,,,,,,she never finished a song where you think she would,,,,,its always her ending and never ours,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,thanks for reaction Adam,,,,,,,,,
My favourite Cover too from Angelina Jordan. Charo
She is still a child and singing like this. That was her grandmother in the beginning. There is something about the rasp in her voice that adds texture to the song. I really liked the ending because she makes it sound like she has been through a lot and is exhausted and pleading for a respite. I really did not get that from Adele's version. Adele has talked about wanting to retire. She might want to just write and let Angelina perform. Did anyone hear a little Janis Joplin from time to time.
I could definetly hear Janis Joplin /Tina Turner when she sang "LOVING YOU" when she was age 11. That night (outdoor concert) she was in "Beast Mode" First I was shocked, and amazed, but it quickly turned into being so proud of her. Now she is a statuesque 6+ tall, and so mature looking, and acting that she is definetly ready for concerts on the world stage, with her as the headliner.
Thank you Adam and wishing you a amazing day. Angelina always always make your heart sing with happiness. Awesomeness absolute. ❤🙏🌞😁😊
How to touch the soul in one easy move, simply listen to Angelina. Lovely reaction.
What a great reaction Adam!..thanks for the right words for our Angelina 😘🇳🇴
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐🇳🇴❤ Every time I listen to this amazing performance it gets better. Only Angelina could improve on perfection.
Goosebumps, still after hearing several times. Perfection🎶
She killed it has usual ❤️
That was grandma Mery who recently had successful cancer surgery, and looks to be recovering well. Taking up her familiar post at Angelina's side. It is easy to see how important that connection is just from that one picture alone, especially if you've never had that bond. This one comes from her true heart. .reaching out and snatching that high note was done so well it really got to me. I feel another level of singing has been reached by Angelina. There is an extra edge to this song that wasn't there before. I think I know and probably many others have also figured it out too. That was a special couple of frames of pictures at the start, that tell the story.
Thank you Adam for your priceless responses to Angelina's offering. This song was special to her and for you, and now the rest of us. Thank you again.
Hi Adam! Thanks for your excelent reaction as usual. This still girl is actually amazing and she's only 15..... just the age when Adele appeared (I remember it well) on My Space and RUclips . Angelina at 15 (16 in a couple of moths), has walked a long long awesome way to stardom.....and counting. I wish sometime A.J. and Adele could sing together on stage it would be great....
Please take care, stay safe and healthy.
Peace and hugs from Barcelona - SPAIN
The woman you see with Angelina, in the beginning, is her grandmother Mery who is the major guiding force in Angelina's artistic life. She introduced Jazz to Angelina when she was a baby. It is also important to keep in mind that Angelina's grandmother is a well-known artist (painter) and poet who, herself was a child prodigy. As far as the men in the video, one of them are Rob Christie, who is in charge of the Republic Records Los Angeles Studio and has been Angelina's pianist on more recent videos. The other person I am not sure of but is most likely the recording engineer.
oh Adam, you put the words in my mouth! I so agree with you
Adam, you're one of the best and most insightful reactors of Angelina. I love your honest and genuine appreciation for this incredible artist. And to think she is not quite 16 years old. Few artists have achieved such perfection by this age. You're able to appreciate both her technical skills but more importantly the emotional connection she is able to instinctively and effortlessly make to us. There is no explanation for her ability to "connect " with us. She truly has a "supernatural" ability to convay the emotion of the lyrics like no other artist in my lifetime (72 years so far). I hope to be here long enough to attend a concert of hers someday. I don't subscribe easily but you have earned mine. Again, thank you Adam!
Thank you so much Bob! I really appreciate that 😁
It's her Grandma Mery and Angelina in the Control Room of the Studio. Grandma Mery just recently had an operation and Angelina was very emotional around that time. So here they are in a control room .. I'm sure many many times they've been right there .. ready to hear a recording or see a video .. beautiful indeed. It actually made me teary even before she started singing!
she doesn't sing the music...she IS the music...she is music...
Angelina has this amazing capability to ,like u said put new life into Adele's beautiful song,, to conway the emotions i found two words that describe her * Musical Tenderness * ♥️
Yes this is another level for sure she is getting better and better!!!!
Just when I thought I'd heard the best then Angelina does this and I'm blown away.
That was Angelina's grandmother Mery Zamani, who is recovering from a serious operation. It is good to see her present at this wonderful performance, probably the best medicine she could have.
I thought Adele was awesome listening to her but when I heard this song from Angelina, I was crying a river. I was teary eyed I had to listen to it again and again...(tears of joy 😃).
Watching this again I think when you start talking about Angelina doesn't do a run just for the runs sake she does them because they fit the song and the song wouldn't be the same without it. I get the same feeling when listening to Daneliya. Neither she nor Angelina puts runs or other little add-ons just because they can. They put them in the song because they are essential. I these two young singers 'My Twins' mainly because I found them 3 days apart in November of 2017. Then they were both born in 2006. They both won major singing/talent shows at a young age. They both have incredible families and their total support. They both have voices that are more adult than they are kids voices. They both are exceedingly brilliant musically, but also in other areas as well. They both are humble and approachable. They are both incredibly beautiful in appearance. It is a shame that some fans from cannot find the space in their hearts for both these phenomenal young singers. I know you have given favorable reactions to both and I love both these young ladies as if they were my granddaughters. Thank you Adam for, above all else, being able to have room for both these singers.
An aside, I have chronic health issues and am in pain, all the time. Often that pain jumps on me with both feet especially in the middle of the night when the meds stop being effective. So while waiting for the latest dose to take hold, I surf the 'Net' looking for exactly what I found in those three days. Anyway, I wanted to tell you thanks for being open to having the room to be a fan of more than one singer.
Thank you! And I’m sorry to hear about your health issues
Somehow she is getting better and better.
Wow that was awesome.
These 2 make a great pair and almost a full 4 minutes of Angelina was wonderful.
Kudos to Adele for a truly great song.
I look at her Tiktok like an appetizer before the main course.
Give Angelina her credit due on her Cover Channel
ruclips.net/video/Mpw5Q76hWWE/видео.html
Great reaction and God Bless!
Could not agree more. It is amazing how every time when she comes out with a big new song and we can't wait to hear and know it will be amazing and also knowing it will be better than anything she's done before and then we hear it and it exceeds our high expectations and we are so very proud. She is one of one.
A voice magician, specialty: Melancholy! Unique! Wonderful reaction, Adam!
Adam, Job well done, I ready enjoy your reaction and comments made about Angelina's cover of Adele's new song "Easy on Me". I also love Angelina voice which penetrates your soul and touches your heart every time she sings.
