I have known Angelina since she was about two years old. Over the years she has sung individually to me many, many times. Often when walking with her in one of the parks in Oslo (like Frogner Park) she would be holding my hand as she skipped and jumped along laughing and playing. Then we would sit down on a bench and after a little while she would ask if she could sing a “new song” she had just learn to see if I liked it. These new songs she sang to me were almost always Jazz and Blues songs from the 30’s, 40’s, and the 50’s. She would stand up in front of me and start to sing and the whole world shifted around me. Whether she was six years old or nine or twelve it made no difference. That voice you hear that she has now was always there. Of course it has developed and gotten greater and greater over the years but the essence of her voice was already there. She would sing to me and those soft breathy high and middle notes were perfect and her switch between chest and head voice was perfect. I was speechless every time. She seemed to reach into a river of song flowing through the universe and pulled it into herself then let it flow back out transformed and made poignant and heartbreakingly beautiful. After she stopped singing I would praise her and she would laugh and hug me then ask me for an iced cream cone. Then she was back to the little girl she was before the song began. While singing she seemed ageless and timeless. She still does. I don’t get to see her quite as much these days but she calls me often to touch bases either on the phone or by FaceTime. She often sings a new song she is considering recording or an original she just wrote and asks me how I like it. I can tell you also that when we talk she laughs a lot. She is the most kindhearted, gentle, empathetic, generous human being I have ever, or will ever, know. Her family completely protects her from the bad elements in the music industry. She never goes anywhere without one of them with her: either her uncle Mike, her mom, or her grandmother. She does not enter any room unless one of them or more is with her. She is also guarded well when she performs concerts or any other types of venues. This young girl is so dedicated to helping the children in need in our world. She cannot bear to see a child hungry or in danger or in need of clothing etc. She is tender hearted also. I can say without a moments hesitation she is the kindest most loving soul I will ever know. I would not trade knowing her for anything in the universe. There is no ceiling on what she can accomplish in this world. I hold her precious and love her. She is pure, innocent, kind, intelligent, gifted, and blessed to have family around her whole love her deeply. We all do. She is so empathetic. I remember once I had a bad cold some years ago and she sat by me holding m6 hand and stroking my forehead telling me I would be well soon. She sang to me song after song. And she was right. Not long after she tried to take care of me and sang to me I started feeling better. She has a healing presence. I do not mean this in some religious, goofy laying on of hands way. I mean her voice, her singing brings peace and healing to the heart and soul. Thanks for reacting to her. It is obvious you love her music. Keep posting your reactions. Thanks again.
That was beautiful. You are definitely blessed. I would love the opportunity to just let her know how much I love not only her talent but her kind soul.
When Adele hears this she going to think, damn, that's the way l should have recorded this song. The lyrics and melody are brilliant written by Adele but Angelina sing it with so much more soul.
She covers what she covers because she loves great music. Her other Adele covers match the originals too. And their voices are, as you say, a lot alike. I love the she adds that belting energy at the end. Where Adele emphasizes sadness, Angelina touches some frustration--and drops right back to the sadness, brilliant. It's a brilliant performance of a brilliant song.
As of Dec, 2021; her social media presence is equally impressive as she’s racked up over a billion RUclips views, and 2.5 billion Facebook views, and has garnered praise from Time, CNN, BBC, and People. She has now done the song “Mercy” in the sound track of “Hating Game Movie” that just came out.
This is her #1 song for me. It's beautifully filmed by Republic Records & Rob Christie is perfect on piano. Angelina is incredible & she demonstrates a wide variety of vocal & emoting skills in this one. I can listen to this all day!
It just struck me, Angelina Jordan signed with Republic Records last year. Playing the piano in this (and other) video(s): Rob Christie, Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group. How many other new (as of yet “unreleased”) artists has he done that for ? I just wonder.
Angelina put this rendition together only 12 hours after the Adele original was released! When you listen to Adele's version, I think you will see how alike they are but also how Angelina has once again made a big song her own!
Great to see you reacting to Angelina again. Your smile explains everything. Angelina is always a pleasure to listen to her, see her and try to predict where all this talent will arrive!! It is said to be considered a national treasure in Norway. She is a treasure to all of us!
She always makes it much better than the original. There have been songs in the past that I did not care for by others, but when AJ performs them, they take on a greatness like no other can.
Angelina Jordan excels all the expectations with her renditions,most of the time we just stare at her listening to her music, and then we remain stay speechless.....so much talent WOW .WOW.WOW
Angelina is a polished professional genius that has been wowing crowds since she was 6 years old. All of the professional voice teachers who have reacted to AJ over the years have been astonished at her abilities and find it difficult to describe her because they have never experienced anyone like her. If you view all of her performances you would be aware they are all at prodigy level. She is 15 here and every performance is beyond belief.
Tom, the beautiful uniqueness of her voice captures our attention with a smile after only a couple of notes. And, besides that, we recognize she is, without question, an accomplished artist. She will eventually be choreographing entire Concerts, introducing originals galore and definitely will be on the Big Screen one day starring in a movie and I don't just mean singing a James Bond movie theme song. I mean acting in a starring role. Angelina and the camera hit it off very well. She's a natural. Unfortunately for me (and a lot others like me) we may not be around when some of these things occur. Father time has a date with us. But, we enjoy every moment watching her growth, musically and personally, and we will hang around for as long as we can. She warms the heart and we all share her love. Tom, listen to her sing 'Crazy'( Patsy Cline). There are several versions, Choose one where she performs with a band. I like them better than just her and the guitar player. The melody of one of the greatest songs of all time should not be compromised.
I agree and would add that she is the only singer who totally lives the song she is performing. There is no artifice in Angelina. She is the most openly, transparent person I have ever come to know in my over 90 years.
I was not a fan of Adele until I heard Angelina do some covers of her songs and now, I am a fan of AJ doing Adele covers. Angelina can cover anyone and make their songs an absolute dream work, and she is not locked in to jazz she can sing any, and everything.. 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. Remember she is only 15 but has been astonishing people since she was 6 years old.
You have just heard the best version of this song ( including Adele) I have just listened to the new Adele album and I seriously believe she is trying to copy Angelina and go back in time into the 50's. I can;t wait for Angelina's album.
That was a beautiful reaction Tom to arguably Angelina's greatest cover.Her family deserves endless praise for how they've raised her and also how they have documented her musical journey thus far.
Welcome back. The look on your face after the 1st few notes said it all. We always know Angelina's going to be great. But it's always a shock how strongly her voice grabs you within the 1st few seconds. Every. Single. Time.
Thanks for your reaction Tom, Angelina continues to touch us with her spectacular voice and delivery. One of a kind, living up to her ability to sing with the greats. Thumbs up sir, appreciate your time.
I am so happy that you mentioned how Angelina takes on some of the hardest songs by big stars she always does I usually hear criticism in her vocals when singing songs from Whitney Houston and yes Adele what amazes me is I remember before NGT little Angelina in her home studio singing Whitney and I thought how is that possible for me no one has the ability to touch your soul like Angelina and her song choices I know her grandma is a big inspiration and influence to her but what child singer sings the songs Angelina started singing I mean Frank Sinatra, Screaming Jay Hawkins just to begin to name a few and I am not taking away anything from the very talented young singers we have today I am 60 years old always listened to music as a way to calm myself I have never heard anyone touch my heart and soul like Angelina not to mention her classy style from her closeness to her family her elegance in the way she dresses and I have to be honest the ones who did criticize Angelina for her choices of songs not even most Adults could sing and here is Angelina singing them from 6 years old and on well I know we all will not like Angelina like us her fans do but you either went into the song with a preconceived opinion thinking Angelina couldn’t do your favorite Artist justice or you are tone deaf but that is ok so thank you for talking about that absolute hard songs Angelina sings and not only sings she honors the original makes the song her own and is bringing back songs we have let go to the back of our minds because of the style of music today well done thank you sou much for your kind words a member of Angelina’s fan club
Great, thanks! It's funny that so many people say, "She's got guts, to cover 'this' song". Then they admit she gives a brilliant rendition of whichever song it is... It's not guts as much as confidence that she can align herself perfectly with any and every piece of music that she likes enough to reproduce. Loved seeing your reaction of stunned delight! Thank you.
Angelina can take a song like I Put a Spell on You or Bohemian Rhapsody or Billie Jean-and she can demonstrate that musical fearlessness you mentioned by giving us an arrangement that startles us initially, but we love after just a few seconds. Or she can take a song like this one and stay fairly close to Adele’s original version, but show us what she can really do with her voice. Her vocal flexibility, range, and particularly the vocal textures she gives us are truly stunning at both a technical and emotional level. Adele wrote a spectacular song, and she sings it beautifully. Angelina sings it like no one else because no one else has the vocal tools she does.
Welcome back Tom and thanks for the wonderful reaction. This is our wonderful girl, she has grasped the essence of music from a very young age and has become a sensational performer. This cover of her is simply unreal, for the beauty of her interpretation. Her voice is truly enchanting and her ability to vary pitch, power and tempo so smoothly and elegantly during her performance is absolutely fantastic and her wonderful endings ... are always unexpected and suspended.💛 🧡 ❤️
Angelina Jordan took this song and made her own fantastic performance her voice is maturity but more if you can believe it she’s an artist who painted a picture with her words and told the story water performance she is a master of her voice 15 old now 6 foot tall now
Welcome back to angelina! You will be pleased to know that Angelina excels at covering Adele songs. There are several which you can play by Adele and then by Angelina. A million years ago Someone like you When we were Young All I ask I can't wait to hear you play these and you will find that although Adele is a phenomenal singer and writer, Angelina puts her own little twists on these songs and in some cases makes them even better!
Hi Tom, you often capture the feelings that she gives so many of us. Thank you. Doubtless that this was one of those single runs with no auto-tune and now I think that this is my favorite cover
Great reaction Tom. Welcome back to musical perfection. To quote one of the NGT judges, Angelina IS music. She is such a perfectionist. Notice that she's not wearing any nail polish in keeping with the black and white and old style. I also LOVE watching her sing as much as listening to her. If you're in the mood for some time travel, you should listen to her 4 NGT performances. Otherwise, her Queen cover The Show Must Go On is incredible. Yellow Brick Road from AGT is also one of my faves. Her runs in that song are unequaled.
Oh my God Angelina, once again you made me cry, Angelina is the only current singer that seems to touch my soul. In a world of major artists using autotune and other studio tricks to sound good, Angelina gos old school with unmatched pure gold classic vocals🥰 Angelina has ruined me in listening to other singers, in comparison they all seem to be lacking. Thanks Adele for writing this for Angelina, once again Angelina owns the song. Great insightful reaction👍👍🥰
I feel the exact same way. It's as if other singers sing in 2D, and AJ does it in 3D. She's the new standard to compare against for a whole branch of singers. Last night I heard a very good norwegian singer doing Rhiannas "Stay", while having Angelina singing it in my head. Very unfair but I cant help it. It makes me so happy for Angelina, and for all music lovers!
I never tire of listening to this performance. And I loved your comments, she is truly fearless in taking on challenges, and with very few exceptions her covers of the classics are as good as or better than the original versions.. Angelina has always had the ability to inhabit a song so completely that her passion cuts right into your heart. Now that her vocal skill has started to catch up to her otherworldly ability to communicate emotion all that's left is some good songs and it's world domination time.
Tom, sir, lets pray for her grandma, to live many more years. After loosing her friends Amici and a member of the royal family in 2018 to suicide, her paternal grandpa died shortly after, and in November 2019 she lost her beloved maternal japanese grandpa (she inherited his generosity, to help less fortunate people), this year her dearly loved mentor and grandma Mery Zamany had to undergo a surgery. AJ went almost nuts with worries. In the beginning you see Mery and AJ sitting together. You sir and your lovely family stay save and healthy, God bless. German greetings.
If the rest of the industry wasn’t put on notice by now by Angelina this video shooketh them to their cores, They are the ones that should be scared because once our barefoot princes is ready to launch her music career she is going to explode on the scene like a Super Nova. She is going to change the industry.
Vintage is her playground. Her old school jazz and blues foundation serve her well as they lend new texture to every song she does. And it has trained her voice for perfection as she also learned early how music is arranged and produced. She arranges her own music. What a treasure she is to the world. This was 15. Step back to when she was 10 doing the demo of I'm Still Holding Out For You, a Baby Fuzz song that was not released but all parties are apparently okay with it being on RUclips. It is astonishingly good for any age and impossibly good for 10 years old. Love your reactions.
She is amazing. Covering an Adele classic only a few days after its release. Adele released her great new album, 30, while 15-year-old Angelina is showing much of the emotion of this highly personal and authentic masterpiece of a song. And by the way, it isn't that easy to cover such a moving song. This is a testament to both the composer and her rising younger sister of touching meaningful art.
Great reaction. I absolutely agree with your statement about Angelina being fearless in the songs she tackles. Here is just a short list of the artists she has covered: Adele, Amy Winehouse, Andy Williams, Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, Frank Sinatra, Elvis, Elton John, Jay Hawkins, James Brown, Louis Armstrong, Lana Del Ray, Michael Jackson, Queen, Nina Simone, Shirley Bassie, The Beatles, Whitney Houston, Rihana, Ray Charles, Leslie Gore, Judy Garland, Julie London - just to name a few. I would love to see you react to her live performance of "Cry me a River" - ruclips.net/video/jV8HIVL2VDE/видео.html.
Hola Tom, que bueno verte otra vez reaccionando a Angelina, una gran reaccion, esto es maravilloso, totalmente de acuerdo a tus comentarios, ella hoy es mi numero uno, y creo que el mundo la esta esperando, porque la necesita, todo lo hace muy especial, porque ella es un ser humano muy especial, y eso lo vuelca a su musica, muchas gracias Tom, hasta la proxima de Angelina, salduos.
When Angelina started to sing your face was a total picture and I could see how surprised you were just like we all are. Angelina has proved that she is amongst the greatest of the great singers. Angelina has proved it at the age of 15 maybe in a few years time she will be the most brilliant singer of all time. Forget so maybe she will be.I really enjoyed your reaction and it was great to see have this young lady touch you too and thank you
I think you hit it on the head. She's not just covering songs. She is Excelling in them. She's blowing them up. Her versions are like a whole new animal. This is an amazing human being. She just oozes talent from every sound she makes. I would also say that I'm an old dude. She's hitting notes and doing variations that I have NEVER heard before. You could say she's using some older stylizations. But she's DEFINITELY doing something new. She's doing things I've never heard anyone do. An Original. I'm hoping she eventually goes full Judy Garland so we get to see her sing on the big screen. Although a lot of the singers she is compared to never did that.
Try her cover of Young And Beautiful. I'm always amazed by now casually she does these master pieces, and her cheerful wave at the end always makes my day. Thanks for the reaction.
👍Great reaction dude👍,,, yes there are some outstanding young singers/artist that are coming out but they won't get the full recognition that they might deserve cuz of Angelina,, I believe EVERY songwriter will be at Angelina's door step first and what Angelina don't want then everyone else can have,,, 👣🌬🌎
What a wonderful reaction Tom. To think that this 15 year old young lady ("still a child as lyrics say") can sing this great Adele song with so much passion and emotion that it just rips into your heart and soul. I find myself holding my breath (not a good thing) while she is singing. Have to think she relates to this song in her own way given that she has been performing since age 6 and has to be hard on her though this is what she "choose to do" but she has great family support and it shows in the kind of person she is. Nice to see Grandma Mery there in studio at the beginning too, means the world to Angelina. 2 thumbs up Tom and a new Sub.
What is scary is that not only does she sing with passion and emotion, as you say, but such total conviction that she has experienced those events described in the lyrics.
OK tom, you want to hear something that show her ability to take control of a song take a peak at that this."I am still holding for you"..you will not believe at a 10 yrs old can do this..PS. how can this girl in last part of video can do this song!
You understand why we’re all really really really looking forward to her album of (allegedly) all originals dropping. RR and her management are checking out venues for a launch, so not too long. No words necessary, your face said it all! Although I agree, of course 🙃
Angelina’s voice and her total being is like an ocean wave or soft summer breeze that takes you in and rushes you to places you have rarely experienced. Your heart rate increases, you find it difficult to catch your breath, chills and shells engulf you. You are now addicted to Angelina Jordan.

Great reaction and I'm like you her technical abilities and range at this young age is scary because you know she is improving as her voice matures, like it could, but does, God Bless!
She can make any cover her own and takes us on an emotional journey every time as good as, if not, better than the original. Great reaction Tom I felt every tiny ounce you felt I could see it in your face, she has been call a true empath as she can covey the true emotional feeling behind any song ,and I am beginning to believe that. Well done, I subscribed hope to watch more Angelina reactions in the future from you. 😀
This video looks so slick and Professional because it was produced by her label, Republic Records. She deserves this kind of treatment. It makes a difference.
As of January 28, 2021; her social media presence is equally impressive as she’s racked up over half-a-billion RUclips views, just shy of 2 billion Facebook views, and has garnered praise from Time, CNN, BBC, and People. That was almost a year ago, who knows how many views she has had to date.
You should do her latest cover of "My Funny Valentine" to get a little update. She keeps getting more and more refined..It was a MASTERCLASS, and has jumped up to my likely favorite by her now
I don't know about everybody else, but I no longer need Angelina Jordan. Yeah she's only 15 but has reached one name status. She is simply "Angelina", simply a GOAT (Greatest Of All Time).
Why is Angelina Jordan not the biggest freaking star on the planet. This girl is the best singer I've ever heard.I like all Genre's and I'm 65 years old. I'm a music person, never saw anything like this ever.
Angelina is someone who is firmly rooted in the jazz genre since she was a little girl whereas Adele is considered great, for sure, but essentially a non-jazz singer. I don't believe a non-jazz singer, and this includes Adele, is not able to penetrate the depths of the human soul as deeply as a true jazz singer like Angelina can. Adele sings and you get Adele. Angelina sings and you get nuance and inflections she borrows from great jazz singers like Billie Holiday (breathy, soft,) and radical like inflections from Amy Winehouse, who was the most uniquely different jazz singer of all time, added to her own personal style. The result is extraordinary and separates her from any and all 'heartfelt' ballad singers.........ever !
She doesn't think in those terms. She chooses music by sound and content. She doesn't worry about the magnitude, or what might seem as a direct challenge to the other singers reputation. Angelina would be the first one to acknowledge the other artists place in the Pantheon of greatness. Never putting herself as either a superior or, as an equal. Angelina is more like paying homage to Adele who Angelina loves her and her music.
I have seen Adele's live performance, but unfortunately she can't reach the high notes anymore, perhaps her vocals are seriously damaged, who knows. Angelina sang this live as well, but with her it looked effortless. That's the advantage of being young. I'm looking forward to her stuff in her twenties.
Please listen to Aina Abdul from Malasia, she sang the same song.I closed my eyes, i want to hear only her voice. It's like a ton of briks hits you or a vraght train runs you down with 100 miles per hour on your feels ! I cried, i lost it !Aina sang that song as a prayer !! OMG!! LOL !!
Thank you for a great reaction to this awesome and emotional performance by the Barefoot Angel. If there is only one word to describe Angelina, that word is - GENIUS.

Listening to Angelina I can only say, thank you lord, for the creation that is Angelina Jordan Astar.
I have known Angelina since she was about two years old. Over the years she has sung individually to me many, many times. Often when walking with her in one of the parks in Oslo (like Frogner Park) she would be holding my hand as she skipped and jumped along laughing and playing.

She never goes anywhere without one of them with her: either her uncle Mike, her mom, or her grandmother. She does not enter any room unless one of them or more is with her.

I would not trade knowing her for anything in the universe. There is no ceiling on what she can accomplish in this world. I hold her precious and love her. She is pure, innocent, kind, intelligent, gifted, and blessed to have family around her whole love her deeply. We all do. She is so empathetic. I remember once I had a bad cold some years ago and she sat by me holding m6 hand and stroking my forehead telling me I would be well soon. She sang to me song after song. And she was right.

When Adele hears this she going to think, damn, that's the way l should have recorded this song. The lyrics and melody are brilliant written by Adele but Angelina sing it with so much more soul.
Our angel Angelina is simply the best.....team Angels...

This is her #1 song for me. It's beautifully filmed by Republic Records & Rob Christie is perfect on piano. Angelina is incredible & she demonstrates a wide variety of vocal & emoting skills in this one. I can listen to this all day!
You should hear her sing "You say" at her online Christmas Concert 2021..Stunning!
It just struck me, Angelina Jordan signed with Republic Records last year.
Playing the piano in this (and other) video(s): Rob Christie, Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group.
How many other new (as of yet “unreleased”) artists has he done that for ?
I just wonder.
Angelina put this rendition together only 12 hours after the Adele original was released! When you listen to Adele's version, I think you will see how alike they are but also how Angelina has once again made a big song her own!
Great to see you reacting to Angelina again. Your smile explains everything. Angelina is always a pleasure to listen to her, see her and try to predict where all this talent will arrive!! It is said to be considered a national treasure in Norway. She is a treasure to all of us!
She always makes it much better than the original. There have been songs in the past that I did not care for by others, but when AJ performs them, they take on a greatness like no other can.
Adele is world class, and Angelina is out of this world. Simply amazing
Angelina Jordan excels all the expectations with her renditions,most of the time we just stare at her listening to her music, and then we remain stay speechless.....so much talent WOW .WOW.WOW

I love and think Adele's music is amazing.
However, Angelina just adds a lot of emotion to that amazingness.
Two geniuses.
Tom, the beautiful uniqueness of her voice captures our attention with a smile after only a couple of notes. And, besides that, we recognize she is, without question, an accomplished artist.

Tom, listen to her sing 'Crazy'( Patsy Cline). There are several versions, Choose one where she performs with a band. I like them better than just her and the guitar player. The melody of one of the greatest songs of all time should not be compromised.
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️❤️ The most amazing voice in the world, IMHO.
I agree and would add that she is the only singer who totally lives the song she is performing. There is no artifice in Angelina. She is the most openly, transparent person I have ever come to know in my over 90 years.
I was not a fan of Adele until I heard Angelina do some covers of her songs and now, I am a fan of AJ doing Adele covers. Angelina can cover anyone and make their songs an absolute dream work, and she is not locked in to jazz she can sing any, and everything..
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. Remember she is only 15 but has been astonishing people since she was 6 years old.
Thank you, great reaction to our girl with guts from the reactor with nuts...
You have just heard the best version of this song ( including Adele) I have just listened to the new Adele album and I seriously believe she is trying to copy Angelina and go back in time into the 50's. I can;t wait for Angelina's album.
That was a beautiful reaction Tom to arguably Angelina's greatest cover.Her family deserves endless praise for how they've raised her and also how they have documented her musical journey thus far.
She never ceases to amaze! 🔥
Welcome back. The look on your face after the 1st few notes said it all. We always know Angelina's going to be great. But it's always a shock how strongly her voice grabs you within the 1st few seconds. Every. Single. Time.
Thanks for your reaction Tom, Angelina continues to touch us with her spectacular voice and delivery. One of a kind, living up to her ability to sing with the greats. Thumbs up sir, appreciate your time.
I am so happy that you mentioned how Angelina takes on some of the hardest songs by big stars she always does I usually hear criticism in her vocals when singing songs from Whitney Houston and yes Adele what amazes me is I remember before NGT little Angelina in her home studio singing Whitney and I thought how is that possible for me no one has the ability to touch your soul like Angelina and her song choices I know her grandma is a big inspiration and influence to her but what child singer sings the songs Angelina started singing I mean Frank Sinatra, Screaming Jay Hawkins just to begin to name a few and I am not taking away anything from the very talented young singers we have today I am 60 years old always listened to music as a way to calm myself I have never heard anyone touch my heart and soul like Angelina not to mention her classy style from her closeness to her family her elegance in the way she dresses and I have to be honest the ones who did criticize Angelina for her choices of songs not even most Adults could sing and here is Angelina singing them from 6 years old and on well I know we all will not like Angelina like us her fans do but you either went into the song with a preconceived opinion thinking Angelina couldn’t do your favorite Artist justice or you are tone deaf but that is ok so thank you for talking about that absolute hard songs Angelina sings and not only sings she honors the original makes the song her own and is bringing back songs we have let go to the back of our minds because of the style of music today well done thank you sou much for your kind words a member of Angelina’s fan club
Great, thanks! It's funny that so many people say, "She's got guts, to cover 'this' song". Then they admit she gives a brilliant rendition of whichever song it is... It's not guts as much as confidence that she can align herself perfectly with any and every piece of music that she likes enough to reproduce. Loved seeing your reaction of stunned delight! Thank you.

Great reaction, she's so good. Such a professional since day 1.
In her mind there are none that she can't sing and she puts it out there to prove it .enjoyed your reaction. Thanks
Angelina can take a song like I Put a Spell on You or Bohemian Rhapsody or Billie Jean-and she can demonstrate that musical fearlessness you mentioned by giving us an arrangement that startles us initially, but we love after just a few seconds. Or she can take a song like this one and stay fairly close to Adele’s original version, but show us what she can really do with her voice. Her vocal flexibility, range, and particularly the vocal textures she gives us are truly stunning at both a technical and emotional level. Adele wrote a spectacular song, and she sings it beautifully. Angelina sings it like no one else because no one else has the vocal tools she does.
😂😂😂
Love your face !
She’s so unique. Brilliant cover!🤩🤩🤩🤩
Waiting for more Angelina!!!
At any age this is pure GOLD, and she made it her own.
Welcome back Tom and thanks for the wonderful reaction. This is our wonderful girl, she has grasped the essence of music from a very young age and has become a sensational performer. This cover of her is simply unreal, for the beauty of her interpretation. Her voice is truly enchanting and her ability to vary pitch, power and tempo so smoothly and elegantly during her performance is absolutely fantastic and her wonderful endings ... are always unexpected and suspended.💛 🧡 ❤️
Angelina Jordan took this song and made her own fantastic performance her voice is maturity but more if you can believe it she’s an artist who painted a picture with her words and told the story water performance she is a master of her voice
15 old now 6 foot tall now
Welcome back to angelina! You will be pleased to know that Angelina excels at covering Adele songs. There are several which you can play by Adele and then by Angelina.
A million years ago
Someone like you
When we were Young
All I ask
I can't wait to hear you play these and you will find that although Adele is a phenomenal singer and writer, Angelina puts her own little twists on these songs and in some cases makes them even better!
Great to see you back Tom. Angelina slays this song it's absolutely beautiful. Thanks for the great reaction and stay safe.
The greatest artist that ever walked the earth. She is a gift to the world. I watch her everyday
Hi Tom, you often capture the feelings that she gives so many of us. Thank you. Doubtless that this was one of those single runs with no auto-tune and now I think that this is my favorite cover
Great reaction Tom. Welcome back to musical perfection. To quote one of the NGT judges, Angelina IS music. She is such a perfectionist. Notice that she's not wearing any nail polish in keeping with the black and white and old style. I also LOVE watching her sing as much as listening to her. If you're in the mood for some time travel, you should listen to her 4 NGT performances. Otherwise, her Queen cover The Show Must Go On is incredible. Yellow Brick Road from AGT is also one of my faves. Her runs in that song are unequaled.
Oh my God Angelina, once again you made me cry, Angelina is the only current singer that seems to touch my soul. In a world of major artists using autotune and other studio tricks to sound good, Angelina gos old school with unmatched pure gold classic vocals🥰 Angelina has ruined me in listening to other singers, in comparison they all seem to be lacking. Thanks Adele for writing this for Angelina, once again Angelina owns the song. Great insightful reaction👍👍🥰
I feel the exact same way. It's as if other singers sing in 2D, and AJ does it in 3D. She's the new standard to compare against for a whole branch of singers. Last night I heard a very good norwegian singer doing Rhiannas "Stay", while having Angelina singing it in my head. Very unfair but I cant help it. It makes me so happy for Angelina, and for all music lovers!
You hit the nail on the head. I feel exactly the same
I never tire of listening to this performance. And I loved your comments, she is truly fearless in taking on challenges, and with very few exceptions her covers of the classics are as good as or better than the original versions.. Angelina has always had the ability to inhabit a song so completely that her passion cuts right into your heart. Now that her vocal skill has started to catch up to her otherworldly ability to communicate emotion all that's left is some good songs and it's world domination time.
Friend....you should hear her at 10 yrs old do version of Baby Fuzz's I'm Still Holding Out For You!!
Tom, sir, lets pray for her grandma, to live many more years. After loosing her friends Amici and a member of the royal family in 2018 to suicide, her paternal grandpa died shortly after, and in November 2019 she lost her beloved maternal japanese grandpa (she inherited his generosity, to help less fortunate people), this year her dearly loved mentor and grandma Mery Zamany had to undergo a surgery. AJ went almost nuts with worries. In the beginning you see Mery and AJ sitting together. You sir and your lovely family stay save and healthy, God bless. German greetings.
If the rest of the industry wasn’t put on notice by now by Angelina this video shooketh them to their cores, They are the ones that should be scared because once our barefoot princes is ready to launch her music career she is going to explode on the scene like a Super Nova. She is going to change the industry.
Adele is very good! Songwriter for Angelina!
Vintage is her playground. Her old school jazz and blues foundation serve her well as they lend new texture to every song she does. And it has trained her voice for perfection as she also learned early how music is arranged and produced. She arranges her own music. What a treasure she is to the world. This was 15. Step back to when she was 10 doing the demo of I'm Still Holding Out For You, a Baby Fuzz song that was not released but all parties are apparently okay with it being on RUclips. It is astonishingly good for any age and impossibly good for 10 years old. Love your reactions.
She is amazing. Covering an Adele classic only a few days after its release. Adele released her great new album, 30, while 15-year-old Angelina is showing much of the emotion of this highly personal and authentic masterpiece of a song. And by the way, it isn't that easy to cover such a moving song. This is a testament to both the composer and her rising younger sister of touching meaningful art.
Its not that its scary her being Angelina, its scary to think of being in the world without her.
Great reaction. I absolutely agree with your statement about Angelina being fearless in the songs she tackles. Here is just a short list of the artists she has covered: Adele, Amy Winehouse, Andy Williams, Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, Frank Sinatra, Elvis, Elton John, Jay Hawkins, James Brown, Louis Armstrong, Lana Del Ray, Michael Jackson, Queen, Nina Simone, Shirley Bassie, The Beatles, Whitney Houston, Rihana, Ray Charles, Leslie Gore, Judy Garland, Julie London - just to name a few. I would love to see you react to her live performance of "Cry me a River" - ruclips.net/video/jV8HIVL2VDE/видео.html.
Yes, that is an impressive list...
Hola Tom, que bueno verte otra vez reaccionando a Angelina, una gran reaccion, esto es maravilloso, totalmente de acuerdo a tus comentarios, ella hoy es mi numero uno, y creo que el mundo la esta esperando, porque la necesita, todo lo hace muy especial, porque ella es un ser humano muy especial, y eso lo vuelca a su musica, muchas gracias Tom, hasta la proxima de Angelina, salduos.
When Angelina started to sing your face was a total picture and I could see how surprised you were just like we all are. Angelina has proved that she is amongst the greatest of the great singers. Angelina has proved it at the age of 15 maybe in a few years time she will be the most brilliant singer of all time. Forget so maybe she will be.I really enjoyed your reaction and it was great to see have this young lady touch you too and thank you
I think you hit it on the head. She's not just covering songs. She is Excelling in them. She's blowing them up. Her versions are like a whole new animal. This is an amazing human being. She just oozes talent from every sound she makes. I would also say that I'm an old dude. She's hitting notes and doing variations that I have NEVER heard before. You could say she's using some older stylizations. But she's DEFINITELY doing something new. She's doing things I've never heard anyone do. An Original. I'm hoping she eventually goes full Judy Garland so we get to see her sing on the big screen. Although a lot of the singers she is compared to never did that.
Try her cover of Young And Beautiful. I'm always amazed by now casually she does these master pieces, and her cheerful wave at the end always makes my day.
Thanks for the reaction.
ANGELINA 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
👍Great reaction dude👍,,, yes there are some outstanding young singers/artist that are coming out but they won't get the full recognition that they might deserve cuz of Angelina,, I believe EVERY songwriter will be at Angelina's door step first and what Angelina don't want then everyone else can have,,,
👣🌬🌎
What a wonderful reaction Tom. To think that this 15 year old young lady ("still a child as lyrics say") can sing this great Adele song with so much passion and emotion that it just rips into your heart and soul. I find myself holding my breath (not a good thing) while she is singing. Have to think she relates to this song in her own way given that she has been performing since age 6 and has to be hard on her though this is what she "choose to do" but she has great family support and it shows in the kind of person she is. Nice to see Grandma Mery there in studio at the beginning too, means the world to Angelina. 2 thumbs up Tom and a new Sub.
What is scary is that not only does she sing with passion and emotion, as you say, but such total conviction that she has experienced those events described in the lyrics.
OK tom, you want to hear something that show her ability to take control of a song take a peak at that this."I am still holding for you"..you will not believe at a 10 yrs old can do this..PS. how can this girl in last part of video can do this song!
You understand why we’re all really really really looking forward to her album of (allegedly) all originals dropping. RR and her management are checking out venues for a launch, so not too long.
No words necessary, your face said it all! Although I agree, of course 🙃
Angelina’s voice and her total being is like an ocean wave or soft summer breeze that takes you in and rushes you to places you have rarely experienced. Your heart rate increases, you find it difficult to catch your breath, chills and shells engulf you. You are now addicted to Angelina Jordan.

Douglas Dennett. A truly lovely and detailed comment Douglas. I agree with you about the reactors facial expression but that is no surprise to us
Great reaction! Absolutely agree with everything you said. Enjoying watching her career take off, and she deserves every bit of success.
Great reaction and I'm like you her technical abilities and range at this young age is scary because you know she is improving as her voice matures, like it could, but does, God Bless!
Don't forget she is a song writer also.
Pitch and control. Thanks, Tom -- you're spot on.
She can make any cover her own and takes us on an emotional journey every time as good as, if not, better than the original.
Great reaction Tom I felt every tiny ounce you felt I could see it in your face, she has been call a true empath as she can covey the true emotional feeling behind any song ,and I am beginning to believe that. Well done, I subscribed hope to watch more Angelina reactions in the future from you. 😀
Just subscribed for our beautiful Angel, Angelina.
Angelina is......MUSIC!!
Angelina Jordan, All I Ask.
Great reaction Tom! Welcome back. A superstar with a voice of liquid gold! Angel-ina gives hope for our future! Musical miracle! Period.
An angel sent from heaven

Impeccable!
:-)) Love your reaction
Missed tuffnutts true love of AJA gift and ability to reach one's nervous system.
Just plain stunning
Tom, such a great reaction. Thanks
She's a genius goddess. 👼🦶😍😍. The best ever. Show me better.
I'll wait....
This video looks so slick and Professional because it was produced by her label, Republic Records. She deserves this kind of treatment. It makes a difference.
OMG
Barefoot angel with thousand voices
The girl with 1000 voices...
OK enjoyed your reaction thumbs up 👍
As of January 28, 2021; her social media presence is equally impressive as she’s racked up over half-a-billion RUclips views, just shy of 2 billion Facebook views, and has garnered praise from Time, CNN, BBC, and People. That was almost a year ago, who knows how many views she has had to date.
You should do her latest cover of "My Funny Valentine" to get a little update. She keeps getting more and more refined..It was a MASTERCLASS, and has jumped up to my likely favorite by her now
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I don't know about everybody else, but I no longer need Angelina Jordan. Yeah she's only 15 but has reached one name status. She is simply "Angelina", simply a GOAT (Greatest Of All Time).
I agree with you. If anyone asks "How can she do that?" or "Why does she do that?" the word Angelina is the only answer necessary.
Why is Angelina Jordan not the biggest freaking star on the planet. This girl is the best singer I've ever heard.I like all Genre's and I'm 65 years old. I'm a music person, never saw anything like this ever.
If you want power, check out her cover of Whitney Houston's "I have nothing".
💖💖💖
Angelina is someone who is firmly rooted in the jazz genre since she was a little girl
whereas Adele is considered great, for sure, but essentially a non-jazz singer. I don't
believe a non-jazz singer, and this includes Adele, is not able to penetrate the depths
of the human soul as deeply as a true jazz singer like Angelina can. Adele sings and
you get Adele. Angelina sings and you get nuance and inflections she borrows from
great jazz singers like Billie Holiday (breathy, soft,) and radical like inflections from
Amy Winehouse, who was the most uniquely different jazz singer of all time, added
to her own personal style. The result is extraordinary and separates her from any and
all 'heartfelt' ballad singers.........ever !
Just two letters: AJ my alphabet doesn't need any more letters
👍👍💙💙💙
Thank you so much too....👍👍 honestly saying i love more angelina's version than adele's..... sorry adele...just honest for being what i feel.....✌
She doesn't think in those terms. She chooses music by sound and content. She doesn't worry about the magnitude, or what might seem as a direct challenge to the other singers reputation. Angelina would be the first one to acknowledge the other artists place in the Pantheon of greatness. Never putting herself as either a superior or, as an equal. Angelina is more like paying homage to Adele who Angelina loves her and her music.
Would like to see you react to “A Million Years Ago” or “Born to Die” both at 12yr old
I have seen Adele's live performance, but unfortunately she can't reach the high notes anymore, perhaps her vocals are seriously damaged, who knows. Angelina sang this live as well, but with her it looked effortless. That's the advantage of being young. I'm looking forward to her stuff in her twenties.
Please listen to Aina Abdul from Malasia, she sang the same song.I closed my eyes, i want to hear only her voice. It's like a ton of briks hits you or a vraght train runs you down with 100 miles per hour on your feels ! I cried, i lost it !Aina sang that song as a prayer !! OMG!! LOL !!
Thank you for a great reaction to this awesome and emotional performance by the Barefoot Angel.
If there is only one word to describe Angelina, that word is - GENIUS.
