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.
I bet you that no other singer has ever put you back on your heels so many times. You are late. But in a very special group. Or club one where your eyes Sweats . Regularly
I have not watched the Retrospective yet... maybe I'll make a reaction out of it ;) Beautiful soul, I have a wish for you, listen to this songs for as many times that you have to - to let the song/sound fully heal your wounds. just let the sound do the work for you, don't hold back. ;) You of all should know the power of sound. ANGELina has this ability to "channel" the true feeling and sound of the song. It's like she taps into the e s s e n c e of the song, in a way that I don't even the songwriter knew about, little yet the original artist. For me she elevates every song to s o u n d h e a l i n g. I only know of a few other artists who does this, they are a true minority, one of them is AURoRA 🤩🤩 Sound can harm, but it is luckily also the most p o w e r f u l healer All the best from Arctic LoVe Islands, Norway 👋👋✨✨✨✨🌟
Beautiful reaction. I agree with all your comments and feelings. It's impossible not to tear up by this performance. I agree that this is one of my favorites, but then again, many of her performances are "my favorites ".
She spends three minutes ripping my soul into little pieces and then says "by" like it's time for cake! But I am sill on the floor emotionally eviscerated. For the life of me I can't understand how this little angel can reach into my soul everytime. We believe that we are witnessing a once in a generation talent that has been blessed by the hand of God and by doing so, has blessed all those that hear her. Wishing you all peace and calm seas in your life ✌️🛥
Captain, your first sentence "She spends three minutes ripping my soul into little pieces and then says "by" like it's time for cake! But I am sill on the floor emotionally eviscerated". Had me on the floor laughing. Within a moment almost crying. I feel exactly the same way. You're 100% right, she is a "little angel" Thanks for saying what I feel.
Listen man, Angelina is always ( personal) she is just who she is. And as a man, older than you. She melts me regularly. With my problems. I just listen to her. That’s my Therapist.
She sings this with far more emotion laden penetration than Adele's original. Note that the setting is so casual that she has to read the lyrics off a tablet at her side while Ivan just does his best to follow her lead. This was a production ready 'one take' performance that could have gone right to the public for sale.
Habibi! My brother! Didn't anyone warn you? Angelina Jordan is a thief! You left your front door unlocked! I saw her sneak in, and watched the exact moment when she snatched your heart and soul...I don't think she will ever give them back. You are an Angel now! 😇
Completely feel the exact same way. Maybe just because until she came around, no one Had this level of dominance vocally. I agree with you thousand percent.
Also, one other, just slightly negative thing, is I cannot listen to her before I go out in public. I will have cloudy bloodshot, swollen eyes. Other than that, she’s something else.
"Time in a Bottle" has an irony. This was the time in Jim's life that he had happiness with his wife expecting their son. While on tour his private airplane crashed. When I hear the song his love and hope for the future creates additional sadness.
Takes my breath away while warming my core with something she does that cannot be described. The greatest singer ever. Loved by millions and million more to come.
When she sings in this setting, as you say, private and intimate, she's like a priestess helping a parishioner. An Oracle of Delphi willing to predict for common people.
With Angelina you never can be sure but at 2:47 her voice cracks ever-so-slightly but it just adds to the pleading, yearning of the song making it that much more heart-wrenching.
Gonna cancel your therapy session this week "'cause I think we just had a brealthrough" . . . . . Enjoyed how your attitude changed as she sang . . . . yup, she does that ! !
This is my favorite song of hers. Every time she takes me back to a place in my life and stirs up emotions that I've buried. From the depth of the verses to the angelic yet painful sounding chorus.... It's a masterpiece by a 12-year-old sitting on a freaking stool.
The summer she was 12 with Ivan Mendez. Every single one of their songs together is a must listen. Just two artists, sitting down and doing what they do. Neither are perfect, but that’s what makes it so perfect and authentic. These recording were never planned ahead. All spontaneous. She would decide what she wanted to sing. Ivan would figure out his part. They might run through it a couple of times. Then one take recording. Unless he messed his part up. Which he admitted happened when he got too engrossed in her vocals. Lol And the Neumann mic was a birthday gift from that year. Great mic. So sensitive. You can hear her breathe
I tried using this performance to introduce a bud of mine to our little Angelina. The plan was to start with this song and then, I Put A Spell On You and then Bohemian Rhapsody etc etc, you know. I gave up after my buddy insisted on replaying A Million Years Ago over and over like ten times. The guy was estranged from his elderly mom and this song just broke him. Angelina cuts man.
Angelina also arranges her songs to her needs. Apparently she has done this since Bohemian Rhapsody. She did this also with Yellow Brick Road. A young girl arranging songs to suit herself since the age of what, 12 years old? Angelina is a phenomenal musician, and I believe that we will be able to follow her for decades. The other thing that is amazing about Angelina, is why she is barefoot on stage. When she was about 8 yrs old ( not one hundred % sure of age), but she came across a young girl in the street begging for money. The girl was barefoot. Not only did Sngelina give her money, but Angelina took off her shoes and gave them to the girl, as the begging girl had bruises and cuts to her feet. Angelina vowed that she would go barefoot on stage until everychild in the world had shoes to wear. This touches me. I was an Orphan from Ireland, but was taken to UK. I grew up with foster parents. My second lot of foster parents in London never bought me shoes. I wore hand-me-downs. In winter going to school in rain and snow, at six years old, I had to put cardboard from cereal packets in the souls of me shoes. Now I am adult ( long time now) I had forgotten about this, but Angelina brought back those memories. For a child to have that type of empathy that she has shown, is Angelic, hence her name Angelina - Angel!
I was just going to tell you about Angelina putting her changes to the arrangement of " I put a spell on you " when she was 9. But I read the other reply by Steve telling us that. To ad to that, If you notice in the beginning of the song you see Angelina writing something on a piece of paper. A split second later you see the conductor reading a piece of paper, then has a quick chuckle. You can tell he was laughing because he couldn't believe this 9 year old was making her own changes. It goes by so fast you could miss it. I always love that part.
Can you imagine the emotion she will be able to add to these songs once she has actually experienced life gor real (loved and lost, given birth, married, lost a loved one etc?) I can't believe she can improve, but yet she has so much more of life to pour into her performances. This is now one of my favourite songs/performances of any singer of all time and i am a bitter old man in my 50's.
She has actually experienced the loss of loved ones. She lost both her beloved grandfathers. If I remember correctly, she saw her uncle break down in tears on the floor when he received the call from the hospital announcing the death of his father, Angelina's maternal grandfather. She lost a friend, ΛVICII, Tim Bergling, in 2018, with whom she had participated in a Volvo commercial, who took his own life. She lost a family friend, Ari Behn, on December 25, 2019 for the same reason. Each time, she expressed her grief and sorrow by dedicating a song to them in the days that followed. She even composed a song in memory of her maternal grandfather, Million Miles. Not to mention the fear for the health of her grandmother, Mery Zamani, her Pygmalion, who I think, underwent surgery.
hi there she got you - first verse you comment about her singing than you have fall to her magic and emotion - relate to her singing with your own memories - i listen to this piece of art many times but my late mum always comes to life again and i feel her - cant say more
lost my whole family in the past few years, had stage 4 cancer, and am 31 trying to get my life together. This fucking song and AJ's singing just haunts me everyday, play it multiple times a day. Its relieving but also so sad. Its helping me grieve.
The first rule of listening to Angelina Jordan is that there is no shame in tears. She has the remarkable ability to sing the emotions of a song. When she wants you to cry, you'll cry. You don't have any choice. Likewise, when she want you to smile, you smile. She reaches every one of us on a personal level, and we all find ourselves with tears running down our faces from time to time without even knowing why.
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.

Magičan glas koji dira duboko u osjećaje
I know, I know. It's crazy, weird, and precious.
The way she touches our hearts.. perhaps the emotion flows directly from her heart into ours
Dude, wait till you see ' I'd rather go blind'. Unbelievabubble.
I think that music has that sort of power in memories and feelings for ALL of us.
and she does all this while reading the music. she can makes changes as she reads the music, genius.
She get me every time and then you also got me. She does that to people.
The best rendition of this song I have ever heard. Fantastic.
Quanta Passione questa ragazza e un miracolo.
She could probably be asleep and sing better than 99 percent of the world 🌎 best singers period.............. wild bill
She spends three minutes ripping my soul into little pieces and then says "by" like it's time for cake! But I am sill on the floor emotionally eviscerated.

Wow. Broke me, too. No words.
I miss my mother.....
Listen man, Angelina is always ( personal) she is just who she is. And as a man, older than you. She melts me regularly. With my problems. I just listen to her. That’s my Therapist.
I know the feeling. She can inspire me raises me up
Absolutely beautiful ❤
Thank you. I really do appreciate your authentic reactions, as an experienced musician.
Prodigy ; the girl with 1000 voices
if you notice, she is reading the song from a screen on her left,,, and yea she can give the emotions like nobody can do,
When one little sound has everything.
Yeah, her voice will definitely send you down the rabbit hole
As fantastic as she is now if she decided to cover this again she couldn't improve on this !!!
Just beautiful pure talent
...and all I can do is watch and cry
She sings this with far more emotion laden penetration than Adele's original.

You are an Angel now! 😇
One negative thing about Angelina is that she's ruined my musiccollection, hardly listen to no one else now 😊❤
same here from Mumbai India
Completely feel the exact same way. Maybe just because until she came around, no one Had this level of dominance vocally. I agree with you thousand percent.
Also, one other, just slightly negative thing, is I cannot listen to her before I go out in public. I will have cloudy bloodshot, swollen eyes. Other than that, she’s something else.
Watch her hands as they conduct her through this masterpiece!
"Time in a Bottle" has an irony. This was the time in Jim's life that he had happiness with his wife expecting their son. While on tour his private airplane crashed. When I hear the song his love and hope for the future creates additional sadness.
Dear Man you have so much depth of heart. Sweet Angie touches deeply❤
She has an amazing gift - does she not?
she is the gift!
Just imagine being in the room with her during this, looking at the guitarist is what its like
I adore ur reactions of Angelina……Thank u.
Takes my breath away while warming my core with something she does that cannot be described. The greatest singer ever.
Loved by millions and million more to come.
When she sings in this setting, as you say, private and intimate, she's like a priestess helping a parishioner. An Oracle of Delphi willing to predict for common people.
What's so personal X1000 about, "I miss my mother . . . a million years ago"?
Yep, she got you!
Angie at her best ! So much talent, it is amazing, phenomenal, supernatural...
The greatest artist of our time !
Yeah thats a tear jerker for sure. I could feel so deep down inside of me.
Arab man, I appreciate the quality-the hard earned quality-of your appreciation.
She knows how to tell a story. It gets personal indeed.
You know how to say it. 😊🙏🏽
She is thought provoking brings you back to certain memories for all listeners she is here for all of us to heal. Wild bill
You've been Angelified
She sang directly to your heart
Wrapped in a Warm Blanket Podcast this month speaks to Angelina's emphatic attributes.
I think she is the most brilliant singer I have ever heard.
If you are not touched by Angelina's performance of this song you really weren't listening , Great Reaction
Imagine for them, it’s another unrehearsed jam session where they try out new songs together.
She doesn't even have to try and she ripps a part of your soul from your being in a magical way wild bill
We know the feeling.
Boy, you have a treat in store when you catch up with yoday's Angelina... 😃
Only an Angel could have this kind of qualités 🤦🏻♀️
i love her sooooo much. Its like god collected all the voices from his angles and gave them to angelina !!!!
This is easily one of my favorite songs of hers. It brings tears to your eyes. With due respect to Adele, this version is superior.
With Angelina you never can be sure but at 2:47 her voice cracks ever-so-slightly but it just adds to the pleading, yearning of the song making it that much more heart-wrenching.
Every song with this girl is an Emotional Roller coaster Ride.
Amgelins voice is a whole orchestra
Oh my Angelina you are simply incredible !
Note she is reading as she’s singing
I felt your pain it also reminded me of a closed memory of almost 50 years ago. I am 64yrs old
Angelina is a force. She sings powerful, but in real life she is modest and kind of shy, very cute, very likeable.
Gonna cancel your therapy session this week "'cause I think we just had a brealthrough" . . . . .
Enjoyed how your attitude changed as she sang . . . . yup, she does that ! !
If you haven't heard her sing" Im Still holding out for you". She's 10 yrs old!!!! Try this one on your tender heart.
Her voice, the way she sang, it made me cry 😢 so beautiful
I have been dying for you to get to this song
That's one of Angelina's superpowers to be able to convey emotion in a song while reading the lyrics.
Know one on earth can sing like this young lady 😮
tears and snot, that's Angelina. 😉 Again and again. and thank you ❤ from the bottom of my heart.
Lol 😂
this is another of AJ's fav songs. her songs with acoustic guitar are some of her best. Ivan Mendez is exemplary. recommend stay. tyvm
That gitarist !! look at his face 🤗
ok. you get it now. welcome, brother...
Hahahaha most accurate comment ever
sublime
This is my favorite song of hers. Every time she takes me back to a place in my life and stirs up emotions that I've buried. From the depth of the verses to the angelic yet painful sounding chorus.... It's a masterpiece by a 12-year-old sitting on a freaking stool.

Rich smokey voice like no other a masterpeice ❤
Her voice is majestic, but your emotional reaction to her voice, is hypnotizing!

Angelina cuts man.
Does the same for me. Her voice is therapy.
Angelina also arranges her songs to her needs.
Apparently she has done this since Bohemian Rhapsody.
She did this also with Yellow Brick Road.

She has arranged two songs from Jay Hawkins at nine. I put a spell on you,” and,” portrait of a man.” Change title to Portrait of a child 😊

Superb, superb reaction to a superb, unique artist! Thank you!
Dude! You seriously fell into the Angelina spell that all of us at one time or another has fallen under.
Its the Angelina Jordan effect!
hi there she got you - first verse you comment about her singing than you have fall to her magic and emotion - relate to her singing with your own memories - i listen to this piece of art many times but my late mum always comes to life again and i feel her - cant say more
Me gustaría que escucharas a Angelina cantando Bobemian Rhapsody.
💗💗💗This was the one that also broke me completely two and a half years ago...
Friend, for me it was AGT´s Bohemian Rhapsodie, that brought tears and goos bumps.... and began healing me, after the death of my father in summer.
Still my favorite!
You look like you were feeling it so deeply
One of her very best UPGRADES !!!!
lost my whole family in the past few years, had stage 4 cancer, and am 31 trying to get my life together. This fucking song and AJ's singing just haunts me everyday, play it multiple times a day. Its relieving but also so sad. Its helping me grieve.
This one is my favorite, too. She seemed to be particularly at ease with Ivan Mendez ❤
You just got hypnotized like a lot of us. I wish you can see your face, amazing!!
