Habibati! If you haven't checked it out yet, here's the link to the Retrospective we did about Angelina Jordan, this was a labor of love, we'd be super happy if you checked it out and shared your thoughts.
The manner in which you are able to express your sentiments about Angelina's music makes me think you are bound to write some especially lovely music of your own!!!
She had a full-time band, hired just after she won Norway's Got Talent at age 8. At that same time her Dad's Brother, Michael Astar, became her agent and manager. "I Put A Spell On You" was one of the first studio recordings with her whole band. At that same time as that band was hired in Norway, she, with family, hired the two young men guitarists to accompany her on many of her early covers. Ivan Mendez and Egil Clausen, I believe. She recently said that she hoped to perform again with those two sometime in the future. That would be really Kool! After she moved to LA, I am not sure of her accompanying arrangements. I am sure that Rob Christie has had that covered. We know that he is the go to on the piano for sure. Being Head of Studio Productions for Republic Records, he has made sure that only the best recording situations are always in play. Such as location and equipment. After all we are seeing the career of the greatest female vocalist to ever live unfold! I also think that comparisons to other vocalists are out the window at this stage of her career. She is simply incomparable. She has eclipsed them all. There has never been another with the talents of this young lady. She is a gift to us all.
Rob Christie Played piano Guitar and Piano he works with her inStudio most Of thetimeHe is multi Grammy winner and Boss in Republic Records and Lovrd working WitjSngelins with Angelina Frances from Scotlandxx
D, as Angelina sings in Suspicious Minds, we CAN go on together with suspicious minds: all we need is 7th Heaven on our shoulders - and the bitterness will fade instantly. How's that!
everything about AJ is surreal This is recorded under the Republic label with their LA director, Rob Christie. I believe this studio may be his own, or at least is the studio's. She has recorded 5 or more songs here.
Its great to watch your reaction of Angalina ive been following her and listining to almost all her songs and she has a old soul inside he that is out of this world the last performance that i saw was at the 2023 FIFA soccer awards where she sang with Red One named we are the best its hard to find the complete video but if you enter 2023 FIFA awards and scroll farward you can see it she is amazing and she should have been the winner of americas got tallent and i think the reason why is because she refused to sighn a deal with Simon Cowell all three performances where the best thanks again for your sincere reaction to in my opinion the best female vocalist ive ever heard
Angelina has all the old great Jazz Blues,and Soul singers in her body and Voice 😮and when Angelina sing everyone in her comes back to live !! You won’t find a talented or prodigy girl like Angelina anywhere!!! She is very special,natural unique,emotional and humble ! Angel 😇 Angelina has the whole package!Young,unique, beautiful,extremely talented and an Angel 😇 with many past lives! She brings back the old great time in music 🎼 She is that girl from another time and the girl with 1000 voices in our time now !! I loved it❤❤❤ I lover ❤so much !I love everything about Angelina!!! I am music expert I have been listening and following Angelina’s music videos daily for 2 years from the age 7 years young in Norway‘s 🇳🇴 talent show and almost every music video is a masterpiece!!! Was Mozart was on the piano,Angelina is singing prodigies!!! Angels 😇 !!! Great great comments and analyses my Arab Friend 👍👌👏She will be the best ever give her a little time 5-8 years and she will become a Legend !!! Greeting from Switzerland 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭
This is my favorite video for this song. I like her backup singer. She has sung with an orchestra but often it’s a single musician. Suspicious Minds she has a piano with a gentle touch and she plays guitar, but not too much. What you said about being new each time. I’ve been following for a few years except not much recently. Listening to older favorites when I hear it anew it’s like she matured while I wasn’t able to listen and sounds older. Lovin’ You. Ten or eleven then but now she sounds older. What magic this feminine being wields.
This one is SO CLASSY! And she is so much in her element, you can feel it!! This is just AMAZING!!!! She owns this song, she owns this song, in every version she's done of it.
The Lord bless and keep this little singing angel, melting the ice and breaking the walls of hardened hearts. Shalom. And, AMR, thank you for the helpful translations.
Angelina Jordan is only 14 years old in this. Yes, this is her original song. Yes, she breathes (by singing) new life into an old sound/genre. Yes, a an ocean of intelligence applied. Thank you for this reaction. Grandma Ellen, roger and out.
Our 'Persian Princess' presents an old form of jazz that goes back to the late 30's - 40's and was called 'Swing'. My mom would go to Roseland Ballroom in NYC on Saturday nights to dance and listen to 'The Big Bands' that played there. When the orchestra took a break, a female soloist would take the stage with a few remaining musicians and do songs like this. She would take it down a notch from the faster versions the full orchestra would do in their presentations of 'Swing' music.
You can see how we have been able to listen for years and not get bored. Because we are privileged to watch her journey, learning her craft we witness her flexing her vocals. It is like an every changing kaleidoscope. I thought your explanation was excellent. I would add to it though. The more you listen and understand the endless palette of her vocal abilities, the more you understand how very restrained she is. How particular her choices are. She does not show off. You never get to see her shove the whole vocal lexicon into one song. Her choices serve the emotion and lyrics. It is not about Angelina trotting out every trill or demonstrating that she can belt or how high or low she can sing. No she is a true artist.
She’s put a spell on all of us, i really hope she doesn’t lose faith in herself😔 she’s absolutely incredible and i’m just completely captivated by her. I’m originally a hip hop head but she has made me addicted to her work from she was 9, impeccable and a beautiful human being.
"A new sound to an existing sound". Yes, Angelina has always had that gift. When she sings old numbers she somehow makes them new again, as if you're hearing them for the first time. It's an amazing gift, especially to us oldies who remember the originals.
PLUS:: guess who did ALL the backup voices!??? I can’t wait you to react to “Lovin’ You” to see your face!! You really became my favorite reactor of Angelina!!😊❤🎉
I agree. I have also watched her grow from a little girl singing Fly Me to the Moon. I feel like some singer leave a piece of their vocal DNA in the songs they sing. Even if they are remaking/ covering an old song. Perhaps that’s why when we hear her sing this is feels we have always known it. She was born this way too. Her ear for intricate notes and interesting runs formed as a baby listening to music. In my opinion there is nobody like her in my lifetime ( almost 60 years).
Angelina Jordan's band exemplifies professionalism and a deep musical connection. Consisting of exceptionally talented musicians, they bring a level of skill and adaptability that enhances Angelina's performances. Their long-standing collaboration and shared experiences have fostered a strong bond, allowing them to anticipate each other's musical nuances. With precise execution and attention to detail, the band provides a solid foundation, elevating Angelina's vocals to new heights. Their unwavering support and commitment to excellence showcase the remarkable professionalism that defines their musical partnership.
We call her "The Girl of 1000 Voices". She has the incredible ability to tune her voice to the song she's singing, to bring out the emotion and the essence of the song. Every song is completely different, but still has her grounded vocal at the center.
I believe the guy on Bass is a songwriter she's worked with for years. I recall a previous session where he's on keyboard. Currently her primary pianist is Rob Christie, thr Grammy award winning head of studio for her label, Republic.
Dylan Meek plays the bass in the official music video, the bass player in this studio recording is someone else (a black guy, more stable and with a short haircut - doesn't look like Dylan at all)
Waalaikum salam ,This is for me is the best version of that song. Great and wise reaction. Finale after waiting for hours today... he he he. For me once a week every monday its to long
I love your comment - new take on something very familiar! That sounds like you figured out how to express it!! Thank you!! Just love your honest, open reactions, facial expressions, and sharing of not only your technical expertise but emotions that are tapped into! Such a joy to share it all with you!... Great song - such a positive message, but still fun, amazing as you expressed, and catchy! One thing regarding her runs (as a mere non-expert lover of music) - a lot of people singers seem to overdue runs, to where it just sounds like vocal gymnastics to show off, but NOT so complimentary to the song! But Angelina's runs sound so organic - they never sound thrown in to show off, but sound like they enhance a word or a phrase to emphasize either a meaning or a feeling - and just integrate perfectly into whatever comes next! -There's MY attempt to express something of what I'm hearing and reacting to!
Finally, after two or three decades of mostly doldrums (in my opinion), an angel has descended from the heavens (from the 7th Heaven!) to bring true classiness, elegance, meaningful lyrics, and vocal purity back to the music industry!
After doing 8 reactions, now you can begin to see why we Angels are so rabid about this young lady. She never fails to amaze even after hearing her sing a song for 50th time. I'm 66 yrs old and I can honestly say (and I do, repeatedly) I have never heard anyone sing like her. Thank you for reacting to Angelina. Yiu do a great job.
There are dozens of layers in each if her performances, and she can completely change styles at the drop of a hat. The combination of musical genius and vocal skill is otherworldly.
I agree with you Angelina keeps everything basically very simple ! Three piece band in this video and her singing through a nice jazzy arrangement ! This is Angelina's natural genre for sure ! Her jazzy inflections with her rasp, vocal fry and wonderful vibrato are inherently in her DNA ! Her breathy overtones are second to none ! Angelina since she was 8 has garnered nothing but the very best musicians accompanying her ! Let's face it with her talent they all want to be a part of the production I guarantee that ! She can sing acapella and blow you away , she can sing with just a guitar or piano and sound magnificent or she can sing with a live full band or even orchestra and be centre stage eveytime ! She commands that attention through her gorgeous vocals ! The amazing thing about Angelina is that she can sing many genres and switch naturally from one to another so flawlessly it's uncanny ! I like a simple accompaniment the best with just a piano or guitar because her voice really shines through ! I believe it's her tremendous storytelling ability through her vocal dynamics that attracts and grabs the listeners attention immediately ! When Angelina sings you feel something every time ! I personally think she makes me feel love because it's who she is as a person ! So humble, sincere, compassionate and caring that just makes you love her ! When AJ sings all you want is to hear more and more from her ! Once she touches your soul she will be forever entwined in your heart ! You will become an angel and will protect her like she was family ! Most older viewers will tell you she is like a child, or granddaughter of their own ! Her fans are very protective and love her dearly as I'm sure you have noticed ! I want to thank you for your continuous support or our barefoot princess as you have become a must watch channel for sure ! Great commentary and analysis as always ! Thank you my friend ! Much love from Canada ! 👍🇨🇦❤️
AJ has had a 6th sense about music, technique, phrasing, and meanings/feelings in music since a tiny child....it's a Gift like an artist painting a picture with the True, Natural colors and Shades and emotions. Just something you can't deny.....
Gorgeous message delivered in a gorgeous voice by a GORGEOUS Eastern/Persian/Iranian looking princess with a gorgeous spirit. A total package! Hands down, she’s the SUPERSTAR of all superstars.
AJ was probably not in her peak condition during that recording, but you know yourself how it is in a studio, time is money, it's very costly to record a song and film the performance, even more so if you have live musicians. You can't start over and over again, I guess they did a few takes (or perhaps 1 take only?) and left it at that. They also did not auto tune AJ's voice, so what you see here is true musicianship, even though not perfect.
All the home made covers on her channel are exploring expeditions into different genres and voices. Also about a decade ago since she was an amateur on stage.
Having this video journal of her growth and development as a world class artist is quite unique and is cherished by so many of us. AJ is truly an international presence with her English, Norwegian, Iranian, Japanese, and American qualities and influences. Her dream of being a Superstar is coming true.
WOW’. “Uncompromised passion “ that is a work of art. It took Leonardo 16years to paint the Mona Lisa. That’s about as long as Angelina has been on earth. I am really looking forward to every Monday, thanks for bringing your advanced knowledgeable word play,like poetry to my ears.😊😊😊❤
Speaking of different sounds by Angelina, 2 amazing videos you need to hear: 1) “You Say” ( Christmas Concert- 2021) 2) “ How Great Thou Art” - they feature her strength - and her lower register! 😮
Yes this is her original song (at 15) & the only musician I know in this is the pianist/guitarist, Rob Christie, a 2-time Grammy winner & studio director for Republic Records in LA. He's on most of her videos as the pianist, since she signed with RR at 14 yo. The other musicians & the back-up singer, I've never seen before. I think her record label is providing whatever she wants or needs, since they say she is their highest priority artist. Several legendary musicians have come to LA specifically to meet Angelina. They've all said she is one of the greatest vocalist they've come across in their long careers. I'm pretty sure we are going to hear some of those musicians on her upcoming 5-song EP this month & on the full LP album released this fall. You still have 2 years to go before you get current with her.
Yeah...two years to go if you don't stop to listen to any of her performances over and over and over again! Yeah...two years to go--good luck with that!
Yes, some of those legendary musicians we could witness live at her Christmas concert one and a half years ago: e.g. Chuck Berghofer, double bass player for Frank Sinatra; Jimmy Zavola, Etta James' saxophonist; Greg Field, the drummer of Ray Charles and Ella Fitzgerald; Shelly Berg who accompanied Aretha Franklin on the piano... to name a few. That concert was really special. It would be awesome if Angelina did more collaborations.
As you say about simplicity.. the ultimate goal for a musician is making the silence speak. She even uses the sound she makes when she catch the air as a ressource to deliver passion. It's not just wise, it's music everywhere.
Another brilliantly analyzed reaction!!! Do you see the way she sways when she performs. It's as if her entire body is in touch with the pulse of the music, it's alive within her, and they are one.

Habibati! If you haven't checked it out yet, here's the link to the Retrospective we did about Angelina Jordan, this was a labor of love, we'd be super happy if you checked it out and shared your thoughts.
Your retrospective is awesome!
This girl had her pick of every major label, surely they are going to put some major marketing behind her album
She's truly something out of this world.
Our angel Angelina is simply the best..

The manner in which you are able to express your sentiments about Angelina's music makes me think you are bound to write some especially lovely music of your own!!!
She just keeps getting better. Great reaction.
You are wonderful. Thank you so much for your devotion and curiosity about Angelina. I repeat: you are wonderful.
I believe it is called PERFECTION !!!!!!
Taking us to her musical 7th Heaven !!!

I used to say Angelina was born with a mike in her hand. Now i believe it was her journal and a mixing board. ( Her poor mom, lol)
everything about AJ is surreal
This is recorded under the Republic label with their LA director, Rob Christie. I believe this studio may be his own, or at least is the studio's. She has recorded 5 or more songs here.

I agree! Every song is a treat. That's why we love her and her music so much! See you next time.
Angelina IS music at its best❣️
Hence, "the girl with 1000 voices"
If you were to look at all the tools and techniques in Angelina's musical toolbox, it would be the size of Home Depot.

So classy , off the scale of extreme talent, Another great reaction.
The Lord bless and keep this little singing angel, melting the ice and breaking the walls of hardened hearts. Shalom.
And, AMR, thank you for the helpful translations.
This is how I felt when I heard her songs Oslo and What is life. I thought I was listening old classics ű
I recommend listening: "it's a mans world" Angelina Jordan with orchestra!
your face is such a gorgeous sight when you listen to her, I just love seeing it, and listening to your sincerity...
Not regular back up for Angelina. In fact, Angelina has done her own background in a few videos.
Join the crowd, to all of us that Angelina, “ put a spell on “!
Calling her a prodigy might be a understatement!
Angelina Jordan is only 14 years old in this. Yes, this is her original song. Yes, she breathes (by singing) new life into an old sound/genre. Yes, a an ocean of intelligence applied. Thank you for this reaction. Grandma Ellen, roger and out.
I just watch your reactions to her singing. Love your reactions.
Hence "The Angel with Thousand Voices "
~ OneLove ~ 🕊
My absolute favorite with Angelina is ” Born to die”….and then ” I still holding out for you”….please react to them if you can… ❤
Love you!!! I have a suggestion for you…. Angelina & Chris Stapleton virtual duet…. Tennessee whiskey & I’d rather go blind!!!!

It sounds so well produced because Republic Records is producing it.
Great reaction. Thanks
PLUS:: guess who did ALL the backup voices!???
I can’t wait you to react to “Lovin’ You” to see your face!!
You really became my favorite reactor of Angelina!!😊❤🎉
Be well Arab man. Thank you for your Angelina reactions. I've always assumed that my comments were polite. Over and out.
Yup !!!!!!
I look forward to your reactions. I wish they were more often. 👍
Outstanding!
You do a great job of responding to our "BAREFOOT ANGEL!"
Awesome reaction and agree she is full of surprises every time, God Bless!
I agree. I have also watched her grow from a little girl singing Fly Me to the Moon. I feel like some singer leave a piece of their vocal DNA in the songs they sing.

Another Angel subscriber 🤩👣🧡🧡🙌❣️
Yes she wrote 7th Heaven it is an original
Wow, so inspiring...watch out...🔥
Класс! ❤👍👍👍👍
I believe the guy on Bass is a songwriter she's worked with for years. I recall a previous session where he's on keyboard. Currently her primary pianist is Rob Christie, thr Grammy award winning head of studio for her label, Republic.
Dylan Meek plays the bass in the official music video, the bass player in this studio recording is someone else (a black guy, more stable and with a short haircut - doesn't look like Dylan at all)
Waalaikum salam ,This is for me is the best version of that song. Great and wise reaction. Finale after waiting for hours today... he he he. For me once a week every monday its to long
Professional
For similar complexity you might look for her movie soundtrack recording of Mercy for the Waiting Game.
Mercy is outstanding!
The other live video of her rendition of this is so much more catchy and fun. Please check it out.
I love your comment - new take on something very familiar! That sounds like you figured out how to express it!! Thank you!! Just love your honest, open reactions, facial expressions, and sharing of not only your technical expertise but emotions that are tapped into! Such a joy to share it all with you!... Great song - such a positive message, but still fun, amazing as you expressed, and catchy!

(Sorry😂 - Not "people singers" (as opposed to animal singers?!) , but was changing "people" to "singers"- )
Great original song ,especially for someone so young she is destined to be a star ,as one of her later songs said ,she's got that Super Nova DNA
You are right on on every level, thanks for your opinion on this great song🎶❤🎶❤🎶❤🎶
Finally, after two or three decades of mostly doldrums (in my opinion), an angel has descended from the heavens (from the 7th Heaven!) to bring true classiness, elegance, meaningful lyrics, and vocal purity back to the music industry!

Amazing comment..! Thank you Ron.
Don't forget the back-up vocalist! She sounded really good, too!
"New sound to a familiar sound" Great way to say it!

Angelina is not just a singer she's a true artist who knows how to express emotions through her voice leaving listeners in awe
Please do not thumbs up this idiot...A TROLL!!!
Great comment! I would add to that, she expresses emotion AND communicates the lyrics/message of the song.
She is a great artist. I love her jazzy voice.😊
WOW’. “Uncompromised passion “ that is a work of art. It took Leonardo 16years to paint the Mona Lisa. That’s about as long as Angelina has been on earth.
I am really looking forward to every Monday, thanks for bringing your advanced knowledgeable word play,like poetry to my ears.😊😊😊❤
Love your reactions thanks for doing them....
Speaking of different sounds by Angelina, 2 amazing videos you need to hear: 1) “You Say” ( Christmas Concert- 2021)
2) “ How Great Thou Art” - they feature her strength - and her lower register! 😮
Looking forward to next monday😉
Greatings from an old Danish Dear and Angel 🌷🇩🇰❤️
I love your reactions on Angelina as I feel exactly the same way.
Don't know for certain, but I assume these are studio musicians that work for Republic Records, her label.
Yes this is her original song (at 15) & the only musician I know in this is the pianist/guitarist, Rob Christie, a 2-time Grammy winner & studio director for Republic Records in LA. He's on most of her videos as the pianist, since she signed with RR at 14 yo. The other musicians & the back-up singer, I've never seen before. I think her record label is providing whatever she wants or needs, since they say she is their highest priority artist. Several legendary musicians have come to LA specifically to meet Angelina. They've all said she is one of the greatest vocalist they've come across in their long careers. I'm pretty sure we are going to hear some of those musicians on her upcoming 5-song EP this month & on the full LP album released this fall. You still have 2 years to go before you get current with her.
Yeah...two years to go if you don't stop to listen to any of her performances over and over and over again! Yeah...two years to go--good luck with that!
Even ‘current’ is relative, because the LDLMG producers said it was recorded last year (she was 16), before the FIFA broadcast.
Yes, some of those legendary musicians we could witness live at her Christmas concert one and a half years ago: e.g. Chuck Berghofer, double bass player for Frank Sinatra; Jimmy Zavola, Etta James' saxophonist; Greg Field, the drummer of Ray Charles and Ella Fitzgerald; Shelly Berg who accompanied Aretha Franklin on the piano... to name a few. That concert was really special. It would be awesome if Angelina did more collaborations.
As you say about simplicity.. the ultimate goal for a musician is making the silence speak. She even uses the sound she makes when she catch the air as a ressource to deliver passion. It's not just wise, it's music everywhere.
What continues to amaze me is knowing that Angelina not only performs, she also arranges all the music she sings!
Well reacted. Yes it is so true what you say. It is an original. There is no boring with Angelina. She constructs every note.
💗💗💗
Listening to Angelina is #7th heaven!
Great reaction thank you 😃 wild bill
Another brilliantly analyzed reaction!!! Do you see the way she sways when she performs. It's as if her entire body is in touch with the pulse of the music, it's alive within her, and they are one.
