There is no one on earth that can match the talent of this STORYTELLER. AJ deconstructs a song then reconstruct it to make each individual hearing it feel it was written for them, a love letter to their comfort zone. AJ has been killing us softly since she was 7 years old, and now she is taking the world by storm. How does one explain her abilities? The truth is, there aren't enough words because there is no one in our past, or more than likely in our future that will affect mankind as much as she has in the short period of time, she has been alive. AJ awakens a need within us that we had long forgotten. Peace.
How about “What a Difference a Day Makes” at age 8 or “Something’s Got a Hold on Me” at 11. Of course all hail the Great Artist, people can’t help but praise her. Thanks for the reaction and give your children a big hug and tell them how much you love them as I am sure you do quite often. Thanks
Angelina, IMO, had no chance of winning this competition since her family refused to sign any contract which would have given Simon any control over her future. Angelina's arrangement for this Elton John classic is very similar to the arrangement by Sara Bareilles. Howie's comment was spot on as I also am always captivated by Angelina's voice. Sebs, many thanks for providing links to the original video and to Angelina's Official Channel. I suggest you encourage viewers to use those links to watch, like, share and comment on the original video. You could combine this artist support along with highlighting your own channel. I believe the viewers will appreciate the support for their favorite artists and be more likely to subscribe to your channel.
I hear this comment about why AJ did not win. It makes sense that her manager/uncle would make the arrangement for not signing with Simon as part of the deal to have her perform. And yet, Simon was very complimentary of her performances of BH and YBR. The superfans selected the winners and unless the vote was faked or the superfans bribed, I don't see how this claim is true. Is there more to this? Thanks.
@@foghorn90leghorn73 It is all speculation. The only thing I know for sure is that anyone who has been on AGT is sworn to secrecy about how the show operates.
@@foghorn90leghorn73 yeah we could never know when things are 'faked'. No one would be allowed to tell us. Chances are IMO they screen everyone before the first round of finals for contracts, can't have anyone in the top 5, or god forbid 1st, only to have them not sign, when someone else could have gotten the contract instead. Anyone who doesn't come to a contractual agreement is left out of the superfan voting. But again IMO, my best guess. Makes too much sense, and she finished.... 6th. Which may have us leaning towards this being the case for her. Obviously she was very unique and incredible, straight perfect in her two showings, obviously her family was turning down everything until she maintained a high level of creative control with republic according to her manager/uncle. It all adds up to that theory right. But that's all it will ever be, no one can say anything. They don't even want narratives of contracts seeping into the narrative of the show, let alone have to talk about the voting maybe not involving everyone for contract agreement reasons.
But either way I think was a case of win, win, win for all involved. Exposure for her and a better show for them. If it was 'faked', in this case, it was in everyone's best interest. I do not think the entire narrative is ever faked. And easier to excuse in a show that should be tough for singers to win, given they have many other shows for singers alone.
@@andyschnell58 To be clear, there was no one in that competition with the skills of Angelina. And the idea of having her compete with gymnasts is absurd. I liked the Filipino guy who was selected over AJ, but his skill is being able to sing baritone and soprano, more of a curiosity. However, AJ got a lot from the competition, especially the admiration of Simon.
How many runs can you put into a road? She did not NEED to win this show and deal with the restrictive "honors" that come with that. Gorgeous is a good word. This bird needs her freedom to fly. And this summer in her live concerts, she preened her feathers. Fly she will. Thank you for your appreciative reaction while on your treadmill. 💜
When she release her album, I will buy it within minutes ❤️ If you have not heard her cover of Rihannas Stay, you should check that out 👍 If you could make a playlist of what songs you have done of Angelina, that would also help 👍❤️
I second that suggestion! Angelina's cover of "Stay" is one of her most beautiful and nuanced recordings. I hope she includes it on her upcoming album.
Great to see you back with an AJ reaction. I had the good fortune to attend her July 10 live concert in Norway. She was superb. Here is a link to all 18 songs she performed including 3 encores. ruclips.net/video/GH-mp5hCVEQ/видео.html
Sebs, she was NOT allowed to win, she did not sign with Simon, so no winning. BUT that was NOT her goal, She wanted the US public to notice her and Simon needed more viewers. Win-win for both of them.
Here is a link from ages 6 to 16 to all her 200+ chronological performances, including five originals. These encompass additional performances to those on her channels. m.ruclips.net/p/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO
I like how you started this walking on your treadmill, casually talking on a static stroll. About 10 seconds into her singing, all walking stopped and you stood there transfixed and slack-jawed. We can all relate. I also like your closing comment that she chose NOT to go big on the last note- instead choosing to finish softly and gently, tucking this song into its bed, pulling the blanket up under its chin, and giving it a tender kiss on its forehead.
there is a video out there where Angelina performed at a Nora Jones concert , opening maybe , with about 40,000 in attendence . 11 or 12 at the time . also a picture of Nora and Angelina together. She is actually very well known in the music world .
This is one of my favorites by Angelina-and that’s really saying something because she kills everything. I love how she’s 100% in the moment, ready to sing-nothing else. Like many of her covers, I never really understood the meaning of the lyrics until I heard this. I’m old enough to remember the original by Elton. I’ve heard it hundreds of times, and it was pop music. Angelina brings the lyrics to life with a mesmerizing voice and her unique musicality. Yes, Angelina takes on the most famous singers doing their best songs-and we like her versions better. You just have to get used to it. If you need a suggestion for your next song, watch Angelina at 10 (I think) singing a Cole Porter song made famous by Ella Fitzgerald: Everytime We Say Goodbye. ruclips.net/video/KRSI8HmTHJA/видео.html It’s a 1940’s ballad, completely different style than you’ve seen, and it’s astonishing what a very young child can do, even taking on a song by one of the greatest of all time.
"Thank you dear for dusting of this old song and putting a breath of fresh air into it. Elton John". This was said he wrote to Sara Bareilles, but he also thanked Angelina by email as she took Sara´s version and made it her own, as usual.😁. As always stay safe, watch over your family and be blessed. Elmar from Germany.
Sebs, how about some of Angelina's recent work? Here's a link to a live performance in Norway in July this year on "I have nothing" by Whitney Houston ruclips.net/video/bELcgA4S7mM/видео.html or the official music video of the same song ruclips.net/video/iX0g99jN26U/видео.html. Prior to these this year, she made a video of "Suspicious Minds" made famous by Elvis Presley with Grammy Award winner Rob Christi on piano (note the homage to Priscilla's beehive hair doo) ruclips.net/video/RTbKhkceR00/видео.html. I absolutely cannot wait for her first full-length album from Republic Records!
Definitely what a difference a day makes! Her in her youngest performances are just magical in a way you can’t explain. And if you want something current to show you where her skill is present day… her MOUNT EVEREST cover by LABRINTH. Your jaw will drop.
I have one for you, Sebs. Take a listen to AJ singing the Etta James classic, "I'd Rather Go Blind." ruclips.net/video/pK8mMXQb3_I/видео.html Her soul and vocal fry will give you the chills big time. Great reaction, as always. Keep 'em coming.
Angelina has performed several concerts in Norway this summer. You should react to some or all of those. There are several videos available. She just gets better and better.
you SERIOUSLY have yo do her performance of FEELING GOOD. ANGELINA WAS 10 YRS OLD WHEN SHE DID THAT!! AND HOT DAMN DID SHE DO IT!!! I SUBSCRIBED YESTERDAY JUST TO WATCH YOU GO DOWN HER JOURNEY!! YOU ALSO MISSED SOME OF HER GREATEST MOMENTS AT AGE 12!!! YOU LOOK LIKE YOU WOULD LOVE HER VERSION OF THE SONG " BORN TO DIE" FROM A LATINA SUBSCRIBER!!!
She even got you to stop your walking machine, you must have been extra impressed! What an almighty talent and not just her voice but her ability to make all of us grown men cry without any effort , just love this girl and her unique ability to change brilliant songs into new modern masterpieces. I often text my girls to say I love them after listening to Angelina so I know how you feel.
Hypnotic indeed. She took you away from your steps to pay attention to her Sebs. This is one of my favorites from Angelina. I like how you reword the subscribe to "SEBSCRIBE", creative. Like your reaction.
Thanks for another great reaction to & appreciation of another masterful performance by Angelina - this time singing the Elton John classic. (And - if you listen closely to the lyrics, you'll hear her foretelling of the outcome of the "competition".) As far as recommendations: still highly recommend all 4 of her Norway Got Talent performances (Gloomy Sunday, I'm A Fool To Want You, Bang Bang & Summertime) - at ages 7-8. Not only are these amazing, but the Norwegian judges reactions & feedback is incredible. Another couple of excellent performances while she was still 8: What A Difference A Day Makes which she sung at a Norwegian outdoor summer music festival & her US debut singing Fly Me To the Moon on The View which includes a short interview where she answers the question as to how old she was when she started singing. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
As I mentioned in another comment. I flew to Norway from New Jersey twice to see Angelina perform at Kurbadhagen and got to spend some time with Angelina and her mother (Sara) after both concerts. It was magical
Her voice is still getting better she is only 16 and she has 3 to 4 more years before she gets to full voice at least that's most singers but she is different. God bless
The challenge for her on AGT is that there are other performers that are not singers, and the voting audience doesn't always recognize the singing talient.
Since 3 months ago, I found out Angelina knows Nora Jones and actually sang for Nora in her concert in South Korea to a great reception from the South Korean crowd.
after her initial audition, the people from A G T approached her and wanted to sign her to a contract. she turned them down. she gave them her reasons and her family gave them reasons. the people at AGT got mad because NO ONE TURNS THEM DOWN !!! AGT wanted to tell her what to sing and HOW to sing instead of allowing her to do what she does best. she said thanks but no thanks.....so they did not allow her to even make the top 5. i havent watched AGT since, because of that........ but later in the year she got signed to a record contract. the record label who signed Angelina, told her she could take her time to write some songs and when she was ready they would help her !!!
robert Concerning AGT, you do have any scrap of evidence to back up what I consider to be your false claims? Or are you simply another one of those egotistical purveyors of gossip and rumour?
Great, thanks! Heidi gave her the golden buzzer for "Bohemian Rhapsody" but it's not on most videos. It would be great for you to check out her other originals: Oslo (age 11), What is Life (age 12), Shield (age 13) and 7th Heaven (age 15).
Thanks for all your heartfelt reactions to Angelina! She hasn't covered a Norah Jones song yet, but Norah had Angelina appear with her at the Muse in City Festival in Seoul. You might enjoy reacting to one of Angelina's live performances this July in Norway. A favorite of mine was "Killing Me Softly". Perfect song for her voice now, great band accompanying her. Here's a good quality video - ruclips.net/video/CuQVyG2dc8o/видео.html
You want some suggestions? OK, try I'm Still Holding Out For You, I'm A Fool To Want You, or Crazy. Have you done 7Th Heaven, or Shield yet? How about The Show Must Go On, or Wicked Games? Done any of those? Well, you should be able to find at least 1 of those that you haven't done yet.
I believe you've done Million Years Ago with guitarist Ivan Mendez. I would love to hear your reaction to the Reanna song Stay also done with Ivan's accompaniment. She creates a masterpiece while looking at the lyrics next to her. It's sung with so much feeling, the story telling and hand gestures are deeply felt, she's begging you to stay. Also the look on Ivan's face is priceless, he knows he's playing with a little prodigy.
YOU SHOULD REACT TO HER NORWAYS GOT TALENT PERFORMANCE. SHE BLEW MY MIND FOR A SEVEN YEAR OLD. There IS ALSO ONE AT AGE 6.."I WHO HAVE NOTHING" LET ME REPEAT THAT...SHE WAS "6" !!!!
Angelina is magnificent ,such a unique style and aura . İ already a fan of her also i find onether talent. Can you react to Daneliya Tuleshova she is young and worldwide talent i recommend
Notice as she did this cover, when she got to the part, Didn't sign up with you all The camera was right on Simon Cowell !!! She didn't win because she didn't sign up , Her family knew she wasn't ready for all that yet and definitely not the right people !! I'm pretty sure she made the right choice!!!!😍
It's great to see you back with Angelina, Sebs! I didn't realize we Angels were slacking on recommendations. :) Someone has recommended What A Difference A Day Makes, which is a great choice. I'm gonna add a personal favorite that your girls might like to watch with you: the music video of her cover of When You're Smiling. The video was directed by her grandmother, Mery Zamani, who is a famous artist in her own right, and features some of Angelina's classmates from Norway. It's the feel-good video of the century! I'll also highly recommend her cover of Sam Smith's I Know I'm Not The Only One. It's Angelina doing what she does best. Links below: When You're Smiling - perf by Angelina Jordan: ruclips.net/video/bLuNQ6s7fCQ/видео.html I Know I'm Not The Only One - writ by Sam Smith; perf by Angelina Jordan: ruclips.net/video/_mijvWJlmLA/видео.html What A Difference A Day Makes (my favorite performance of it) on Singapore TV - perf by Angelina Jordan: ruclips.net/video/uWGb9lAO-vU/видео.html
Rather than follow suggestions from fans (like me), why not go to Rusty Shackleford's site where he lists every song she recorded and just pick what you fancy? Because all the usual favourites come up from fans and there is so much that gets overlooked. I won't even suggest my own favourite, just choose what takes your fancy. But remember, Angelina has a habit of turning everything she touches to gold, even those songs you never really cared for.
Happens all the time. She angelinas it. Great verb. And the reason she did not win is she did not sign with Simon which is the deal for winning. Angelina wanted to sign elsewhere of course. She deserves a huge record company for world fame. That’s her goal I mean and well on her way 🙏🏼 Godspeed and the creek don’t rise. Heidi is a major promoter of AJ to this day.
Angelina DID sign a contract with AGT. Winning or losing had nothing to do with signing. And btw, this was not Angelina's arrangement. She based it on Sara Bareilles' version, which Sir Elton had praised as the best he had heard.
Love Angelina voice... I thought i give you some recommendations that i think is really good. Although you done all of my favourites there are still alot of good ones left. So you already done Angelinas version of *I have nothing* (Witney Houston) that she did years ago. She did a live one this year at Allsang på grensen and its even better then her previous one. Definitely worth checking out at some point. She also did Bohemian Rhapsody but i prefer the AGT version she did. Idk why because the one she did this year was amazing too. Also her version of *Id rather go blind* is amazing. Her voice on this is crazy to me. She just got a new mic (For her 12 or 13th birthday im pretty sure) And were trying it out for the first time. Im not a mic expert but people saying she had the mic the wrong way. Still sounded amazing to me. Just her in her room with no special effects or nothing but still so good.
The depth of her voice will blow your mind. This angel is one of the best singers (incredible extremely low vocal, dramatic contralto + polyphonic voice) in the world! I invite you to discover this wonderful talented young singer. Please make reaction to Diana Ankudinova. I was stunned to find that the first performance (Show "You are Super") I heard was when she was 14!!!! She's now 19 and still developing. She sings in Russian, French, English, German, Spanish and Arabic. The covers she performed on that show are very popular on RUclips. Many RUclipsrs publish reactions on these performances, which include "Can't Help Falling In Love", "Crow", "Personal Jesus" (all 18 y.o.), "Wicked Game", "Human" (15 y.o.), "Derniere Danse", "It's a Man's Man's Man's World" (14 y.o.), "Take On Me" (17 y.o.) and others. Please react to one of Diana's songs and I promise she will surprise you.
Norah Jones - This is probably a duplicate but Angelina opened for Norah Jones in South Korea in 2017. They even called for her to sing an extra song, which she did - “I Put a Spell On You.”
👍👍 8yrs ago I THOUGHT that this young lady was going to be a force to be reckon with when she gets older,, 2yrs ago I KNEW that this young lady is going to take over the music industry someday,, Today at 16yrs old she is already taking OWNERSHIP of some of the most iconic songs that ever existed in the MUSIC WORLD the past couple years,, 👣🌬🌎
I love her arrangements of famous songs. So beautiful. I have listened to your diverse reactions & am interested to know if you have had any requests, or done any reactions to Dimash?
She knew she wouldn't win. Unless she signed with Simon's label. Her family didn't want her locked up with Simon. Less than 6 months later at age 14 she signed with Republic records. She and her family moved to Los Angeles. She turned 17 on January 10th. She will graduate from high school in June. I think her album with come out before the year is over. Republic did not promote her until she graduates. I can't wait for her album
Angelina "Won" by refusing to sign a contract with Simon Cowell and NOT winning AGT Champions. She is in far better hands with Republic Records and her family.
@@fredneecher1746 Hahaha I assume they all knew and would screen contestants for contractual agreements before the finals performances. So they don't have winners not signing. Simon was such a class act with her the whole way through, even thanking her for making the show better, as if he knew she wouldn't win maybe. If this song was indeed for him, don't put it past him to have suggested it to her, and the timing of the shot to the production crew. Or at least Heidi. He wouldn't be angry about the lack of an agreement IMO. I'm stunned she went with a Sarah Bareilles arrangement for the song, instead of making her own. Maybe she had something else lined up and instead absolutely slayed this? Of course, it all could be a wonderful circumstance.
@@ryanjacob3338 I think ANGELINA most certainly made this her own the only similarity to Sarah barelliis was both were slow versions , but imo ANGELINAS is a different interpretation .with more feeling and emotion as well as a totally different vocal style.
@@tomwhite4736 nope, it is different only because they are different vocalists, and because she had to shorten it for the show. It is through and through, the same as Sarah's if you chop Sarah's up properly, a bit of the middle and near the end is chopped off IMO. Even the runs and style are almost identical once you find the right parts to ignore on Sarah's. I think AJ's is better, but it is absolutely not of her creation, nor has she claimed it is. But let's not be rude to Sarah here, the judges irked some of Sarah's fans by commenting as if it wasn't Sarah's arrangement, rightfully so. Not AJ's fault, but we don't have to fight what is clearly correct on her behalf. We know she is an amazing artist that creates her own nearly every time in a shocking amount of performances over 10 years as a kid. This isn't one of them.
@@ryanjacob3338don't agree with your comment she didn't make it her own but we all,have different oppinions so we have to agree to disagree , no offence to you it's my personal dislike I hate it when folks start a reply with " Nope " to me it smacks of arrogance and superiority but again I'm sure we will have to agree to disagree.
I m frome Morocco in north we cool awer smol tawn a bleue city chefchaouen it lovely and i love so much yor reaction yes for me y are the best that i see in the RUclips hou react y are so far than meny reactris hou react seriously y are number one for me thank you a lot enjoy that i like you to react on a marocain rap i thing you love it ❤❤❤
Hey Sebs, nice to see you back with Angelina, love your reactions. Here is a suggestion for all things Angelina, including a chronological listing, tiktoks, you name it, they are all here on Rusty Shacklefords channel and you can easily chose what you want and any suggestions will be there as well.: ruclips.net/user/MrRustysPlacevideos. One stop shopping list here you could say. BTW, the judges reactions are great as always, she is a fan favorite of the audience but in reality, Simon (he is the "Super Fans), made sure she would not win as she and her family refused to sign one of his constrictive contracts so this show merely a stepping stone for her exposure to a larger American audience...there comments are wonderful but carry no real value in the grand scheme of Angelina's career, though Angelina became good friends with Heidi Klum, who championed her throughout this basically nonsense show. Cheers.

She doesn’t have a Norah Jones cover but she opened a Norah Jones concert in 2017 in Seoul when she was 11 yo.
Norah was so impressed with Angelina that she asked her to do an encore, in front of 40K fans.
Heidi gave her the golden buzzer in her 1st audition for AGT. She does a lot for Angelina.
She's done an opening concert for Norah Jones and they sang the last song together. STUNNING ❤️
Is there a video of the singing together. I know she was asked to do another song as Nora was running late.

Your jaw will drop.
I can hear an angel sing !!!
Genius Can Do All Things
❤️❤️❤️🌺🌺🌺🤩
This imho was her most stunning technically impressive performance on AGT, only marred by that obligatory high belt the competitions require.
I forgot how much I loved this.
I have one for you, Sebs. Take a listen to AJ singing the Etta James classic, "I'd Rather Go Blind." ruclips.net/video/pK8mMXQb3_I/видео.html Her soul and vocal fry will give you the chills big time. Great reaction, as always. Keep 'em coming.
For sure! And Angelina had just turned 12 years old, not 13 like it says in the title. Incredible performance, as if THAT is something new 😂🤣
@@poolhallshark I know, right?! She never ceases to amaze.
Angelina has performed several concerts in Norway this summer. You should react to some or all of those. There are several videos available. She just gets better and better.
you SERIOUSLY have yo do her performance of FEELING GOOD. ANGELINA WAS 10 YRS OLD WHEN SHE DID THAT!! AND HOT DAMN DID SHE DO IT!!! I SUBSCRIBED YESTERDAY JUST TO WATCH YOU GO DOWN HER JOURNEY!! YOU ALSO MISSED SOME OF HER GREATEST MOMENTS AT AGE 12!!! YOU LOOK LIKE YOU WOULD LOVE HER VERSION OF THE SONG " BORN TO DIE" FROM A LATINA SUBSCRIBER!!!
This and fly me to the moon are my two favourite AJ songs. They both always make me tear up. Every. Time! ❤
You are witness to greatness !!!
Angelina 🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟
She even got you to stop your walking machine, you must have been extra impressed! What an almighty talent and not just her voice but her ability to make all of us grown men cry without any effort , just love this girl and her unique ability to change brilliant songs into new modern masterpieces. I often text my girls to say I love them after listening to Angelina so I know how you feel.
Hypnotic indeed. She took you away from your steps to pay attention to her Sebs. This is one of my favorites from Angelina. I like how you reword the subscribe to "SEBSCRIBE", creative. Like your reaction.
Thanks for another great reaction to & appreciation of another masterful performance by Angelina - this time singing the Elton John classic. (And - if you listen closely to the lyrics, you'll hear her foretelling of the outcome of the "competition".) As far as recommendations: still highly recommend all 4 of her Norway Got Talent performances (Gloomy Sunday, I'm A Fool To Want You, Bang Bang & Summertime) - at ages 7-8. Not only are these amazing, but the Norwegian judges reactions & feedback is incredible. Another couple of excellent performances while she was still 8: What A Difference A Day Makes which she sung at a Norwegian outdoor summer music festival & her US debut singing Fly Me To the Moon on The View which includes a short interview where she answers the question as to how old she was when she started singing. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
I'm not sure if Angelina ever covered a Nora Jones song, but she did performance at a Nora Jones' concert!
BEAUTIFUL!
ANGELINA JORDAN (11) opened for Norah Jones in Muse in City festival, Seoul 2017!!!
As I mentioned in another comment. I flew to Norway from New Jersey twice to see Angelina perform at Kurbadhagen and got to spend some time with Angelina and her mother (Sara) after both concerts. It was magical
Heidi hit that Golden Buzzer on her first song! 💖
Nice reaction. I basically feel the same way you do dude she's awesome. Her rendition of Rihanna's Stay is awesome.
Her voice is still getting better she is only 16 and she has 3 to 4 more years before she gets to full voice at least that's most singers but she is different. God bless
❤❤❤❤❤
The challenge for her on AGT is that there are other performers that are not singers, and the voting audience doesn't always recognize the singing talient.
Have you seen her outdoor live Whitney Houston song? OMG!
Since 3 months ago, I found out Angelina knows Nora Jones and actually sang for Nora in her concert in South Korea to a great reception from the South Korean crowd.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
after her initial audition, the people from A G T approached her and wanted to sign her to a contract. she turned them down. she gave them her reasons and her family gave them reasons. the people at AGT got mad because NO ONE TURNS THEM DOWN !!! AGT wanted to tell her what to sing and HOW to sing instead of allowing her to do what she does best. she said thanks but no thanks.....so they did not allow her to even make the top 5. i havent watched AGT since, because of that........ but later in the year she got signed to a record contract. the record label who signed Angelina, told her she could take her time to write some songs and when she was ready they would help her !!!
robert Concerning AGT, you do have any scrap of evidence to back up what I consider to be your false claims? Or are you simply another one of those egotistical purveyors of gossip and rumour?
Great, thanks! Heidi gave her the golden buzzer for "Bohemian Rhapsody" but it's not on most videos. It would be great for you to check out her other originals: Oslo (age 11), What is Life (age 12), Shield (age 13) and 7th Heaven (age 15).
Still one of my favourites:)
love love love this song by her
Thanks for all your heartfelt reactions to Angelina! She hasn't covered a Norah Jones song yet, but Norah had Angelina appear with her at the Muse in City Festival in Seoul. You might enjoy reacting to one of Angelina's live performances this July in Norway. A favorite of mine was "Killing Me Softly". Perfect song for her voice now, great band accompanying her. Here's a good quality video - ruclips.net/video/CuQVyG2dc8o/видео.html
You want some suggestions? OK, try I'm Still Holding Out For You, I'm A Fool To Want You, or Crazy. Have you done 7Th Heaven, or Shield yet? How about The Show Must Go On, or Wicked Games? Done any of those? Well, you should be able to find at least 1 of those that you haven't done yet.
Really appreciate these :)
she is like M.C Hammer can't touch that voice
I almost have no words for Angelina.... brilliantly talented and hipnotic
Anngelina opened for Norah Jones in Muse in City festival, Seoul, Korea in 2017, 40 000 people, she was 11 years...
I believe you've done Million Years Ago with guitarist Ivan Mendez. I would love to hear your reaction to the Reanna song Stay also done with Ivan's accompaniment. She creates a masterpiece while looking at the lyrics next to her. It's sung with so much feeling, the story telling and hand gestures are deeply felt, she's begging you to stay. Also the look on Ivan's face is priceless, he knows he's playing with a little prodigy.
She sang with Nora Jones in concert in so. Korea for 50 thousand people.
YOU SHOULD REACT TO HER NORWAYS GOT TALENT PERFORMANCE. SHE BLEW MY MIND FOR A SEVEN YEAR OLD. There IS ALSO ONE AT AGE 6.."I WHO HAVE NOTHING" LET ME REPEAT THAT...SHE WAS "6" !!!!
Angelina is magnificent ,such a unique style and aura .
İ already a fan of her also i find onether talent.
Can you react to Daneliya Tuleshova she is young and worldwide talent i recommend
She actually opened for Nora Jones in Korea when she was 11
❤💋
When I listen to her sing it makes wonder how beautiful heaven must sound
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Браво.
Notice as she did this cover, when she got to the part, Didn't sign up with you all The camera was right on Simon Cowell !!! She didn't win because she didn't sign up , Her family knew she wasn't ready for all that yet and definitely not the right people !! I'm pretty sure she made the right choice!!!!😍
She should have won AGT Champions!!👍❤🤘 ONLY 13!!!!
I could listen to her sing all day long
It's great to see you back with Angelina, Sebs! I didn't realize we Angels were slacking on recommendations. :) Someone has recommended What A Difference A Day Makes, which is a great choice. I'm gonna add a personal favorite that your girls might like to watch with you: the music video of her cover of When You're Smiling. The video was directed by her grandmother, Mery Zamani, who is a famous artist in her own right, and features some of Angelina's classmates from Norway. It's the feel-good video of the century! I'll also highly recommend her cover of Sam Smith's I Know I'm Not The Only One. It's Angelina doing what she does best. Links below:

Rather than follow suggestions from fans (like me), why not go to Rusty Shackleford's site where he lists every song she recorded and just pick what you fancy? Because all the usual favourites come up from fans and there is so much that gets overlooked. I won't even suggest my own favourite, just choose what takes your fancy. But remember, Angelina has a habit of turning everything she touches to gold, even those songs you never really cared for.
Happens all the time. She angelinas it. Great verb. And the reason she did not win is she did not sign with Simon which is the deal for winning. Angelina wanted to sign elsewhere of course. She deserves a huge record company for world fame. That’s her goal I mean and well on her way 🙏🏼 Godspeed and the creek don’t rise. Heidi is a major promoter of AJ to this day.
Angelina DID sign a contract with AGT. Winning or losing had nothing to do with signing. And btw, this was not Angelina's arrangement. She based it on Sara Bareilles' version, which Sir Elton had praised as the best he had heard.
Love Angelina voice...
I thought i give you some recommendations that i think is really good. Although you done all of my favourites there are still alot of good ones left.
So you already done Angelinas version of *I have nothing* (Witney Houston) that she did years ago. She did a live one this year at Allsang på grensen and its even better then her previous one. Definitely worth checking out at some point. She also did Bohemian Rhapsody but i prefer the AGT version she did. Idk why because the one she did this year was amazing too.
Also her version of *Id rather go blind* is amazing. Her voice on this is crazy to me. She just got a new mic (For her 12 or 13th birthday im pretty sure) And were trying it out for the first time. Im not a mic expert but people saying she had the mic the wrong way. Still sounded amazing to me. Just her in her room with no special effects or nothing but still so good.
The depth of her voice will blow your mind.
This angel is one of the best singers (incredible extremely low vocal, dramatic contralto + polyphonic voice) in the world!
I invite you to discover this wonderful talented young singer.
Please make reaction to Diana Ankudinova.
I was stunned to find that the first performance (Show "You are Super") I heard was when she was 14!!!!
She's now 19 and still developing. She sings in Russian, French, English, German, Spanish and Arabic.
The covers she performed on that show are very popular on RUclips. Many RUclipsrs publish reactions on these performances, which include "Can't Help Falling In Love", "Crow", "Personal Jesus" (all 18 y.o.), "Wicked Game", "Human" (15 y.o.), "Derniere Danse", "It's a Man's Man's Man's World" (14 y.o.), "Take On Me" (17 y.o.) and others.
Please react to one of Diana's songs and I promise she will surprise you.
Look up what she is doing today. She is an incredible blessing. ♡♡♡
Norah Jones - This is probably a duplicate but Angelina opened for Norah Jones in South Korea in 2017. They even called for her to sing an extra song, which she did - “I Put a Spell On You.”
She may not have won Americas Got Talent. But I. Reality she did win. She has MILLIONS OF MORE FANS NOW. She is truly an Angel
and she was 13 at that time and was 7 when she won norway's got talent
👍👍
8yrs ago I THOUGHT that this young lady was going to be a force to be reckon with when she gets older,,
2yrs ago I KNEW that this young lady is going to take over the music industry someday,,
Today at 16yrs old she is already taking OWNERSHIP of some of the most iconic songs that ever existed in the MUSIC WORLD the past couple years,,
👣🌬🌎
✨️🎁✨️
She started here with Bohemian Rapsody
How did she not win
She did open for Nora when she (I think) was 11 in Seoul Korea in front of 40,000.
You asked about Nora Jones, she opened for her in Korea when she was 10/11...
She plays the piano also,and designs her own clothes.
Awesome reaction, God Bless!
I love her arrangements of famous songs. So beautiful. I have listened to your diverse reactions & am interested to know if you have had any requests, or done any reactions to Dimash?
Angelina based her rendition on Sara Bareilles' arrangement. It wasn't her own.
She knew she wouldn't win. Unless she signed with Simon's label. Her family didn't want her locked up with Simon. Less than 6 months later at age 14 she signed with Republic records. She and her family moved to Los Angeles. She turned 17 on January 10th. She will graduate from high school in June. I think her album with come out before the year is over. Republic did not promote her until she graduates. I can't wait for her album
Angelina has over 170 covers and 5 originas, we Angel's are not picky when it comes to the songs you choose from Angelina.
😎🇺🇲👍💯🌟
Angelina "Won" by refusing to sign a contract with Simon Cowell and NOT winning AGT Champions. She is in far better hands with Republic Records and her family.
Note how the camera cuts to Simon when she sings, "I didn't sign up with you." Someone in the studio was in the know!
@@fredneecher1746 Hahaha I assume they all knew and would screen contestants for contractual agreements before the finals performances. So they don't have winners not signing. Simon was such a class act with her the whole way through, even thanking her for making the show better, as if he knew she wouldn't win maybe. If this song was indeed for him, don't put it past him to have suggested it to her, and the timing of the shot to the production crew. Or at least Heidi. He wouldn't be angry about the lack of an agreement IMO. I'm stunned she went with a Sarah Bareilles arrangement for the song, instead of making her own. Maybe she had something else lined up and instead absolutely slayed this? Of course, it all could be a wonderful circumstance.
@@ryanjacob3338 I think ANGELINA most certainly made this her own the only similarity to Sarah barelliis was both were slow versions , but imo ANGELINAS is a different interpretation .with more feeling and emotion as well as a totally different vocal style.
@@tomwhite4736 nope, it is different only because they are different vocalists, and because she had to shorten it for the show. It is through and through, the same as Sarah's if you chop Sarah's up properly, a bit of the middle and near the end is chopped off IMO. Even the runs and style are almost identical once you find the right parts to ignore on Sarah's. I think AJ's is better, but it is absolutely not of her creation, nor has she claimed it is. But let's not be rude to Sarah here, the judges irked some of Sarah's fans by commenting as if it wasn't Sarah's arrangement, rightfully so. Not AJ's fault, but we don't have to fight what is clearly correct on her behalf. We know she is an amazing artist that creates her own nearly every time in a shocking amount of performances over 10 years as a kid. This isn't one of them.
@@ryanjacob3338don't agree with your comment she didn't make it her own but we all,have different oppinions so we have to agree to disagree , no offence to you it's my personal dislike I hate it when folks start a reply with " Nope " to me it smacks of arrogance and superiority but again I'm sure we will have to agree to disagree.
She did not win because her family would not sign a contract with Simon.
I m frome Morocco in north we cool awer smol tawn a bleue city chefchaouen it lovely and i love so much yor reaction yes for me y are the best that i see in the RUclips hou react y are so far than meny reactris hou react seriously y are number one for me thank you a lot enjoy that i like you to react on a marocain rap i thing you love it ❤❤❤
BTW, she has opened for a Norah Jones concert---in Korea, I think???
She opened for Nora Jones in Japan? I don’t really remember the details. It was a while back too.
I don't recall her doing a Nora Jones cover but she did open a show for her in Japan to a crowd of 40,000 at around age 12. The Japanese loved her.
brent seoul korea.
Hey Sebs, nice to see you back with Angelina, love your reactions. Here is a suggestion for all things Angelina, including a chronological listing, tiktoks, you name it, they are all here on Rusty Shacklefords channel and you can easily chose what you want and any suggestions will be there as well.: ruclips.net/user/MrRustysPlacevideos. One stop shopping list here you could say. BTW, the judges reactions are great as always, she is a fan favorite of the audience but in reality, Simon (he is the "Super Fans), made sure she would not win as she and her family refused to sign one of his constrictive contracts so this show merely a stepping stone for her exposure to a larger American audience...there comments are wonderful but carry no real value in the grand scheme of Angelina's career, though Angelina became good friends with Heidi Klum, who championed her throughout this basically nonsense show. Cheers.
AGT Fourth Power
She kills this song hate say even better than Elton John's version
she even sang with Norah Jones in concert :)
