Hi Alan, just wanted to say thanks for clearing up a misconception I had. For months now, I thought Angelina was repeating the word "Lies" on the Amy Winehouse song instead of "Love" as you stated. Thanks for the clarification; LOVE is much better than LIES any day! Keep up the outstanding work on your unique AJ channel!
ABSOLUTELY A GIFT TO HUMANITY....THE HUMAN SOUL AND SPIRIT SHINING THROUGH ... ANGELINA JORDAN ASTAR....THE WORLD HEARS AND FEELS YOU✌️❤️🤗 PEACE LOVE HAPPINESS 🇺🇸🦅🌎✝️...🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thank you, Alan. How eloquent you are in weaving together art, life, and love in the person of Angelina Jordan. What a tonic for our times. I'll be watching all your videos.
I'm working on my 6th thousand Reaction videos from hundreds of Reactors laymen and Voice professionals alike and I found out that the most famous/remarkable sound she ever made was not a word but the squeaky sound she made in "I put a spell on You" 🤗 You know what I mean 🙂 No other soud/word has given stronger Reaction/surprise in any of her reactions ... I love Your Contributions to understanding what Angelina is all about that she is on mission to spread Love💞 around the world with her Singing and she stated that very thing in a interview just after winning NGT still at the age of 8 when asked (Paraphrasing)" what now? or what does you future hold? Her answer was short and very simple; " I want to sing all over the world and spread my love with my singing" 🎶 ♥ Angelina is a true Angel of future music 👼👣👸🌟 ~ OneLove 🕊~
Beautifully said, Alan! I agree 100% with what you said. Angelina's voice and artistry are very, very special indeed. But her kindness, her humility and her genuine generosity is what makes her extra special. And that's why when she sings, she's able to touch the hearts of the listeners and convey so much feeling in each and every song.
Angelina is an important force in music. She is a change, an about face in the direction of music from sultry hedonism to the classiness of our highest emotions and values. Humility, love, empathy, ambition, generosity, the joy of hard work.
Angelina's love of music and singing has been shown to me through her videos. We are so fortunate that at an early age so much was recorded or even some how ordered. Either way we have them and because of that they can be shared with the world. Angelina is my favorite singer but she happens to be my favorite human also. I am in awe of this precious soul and her God given talent. Again Alan thanking you so very much for taking this time and honoring Angelina. Thumbs up sir.
mery was basically angelina's surrogate mother... about shyness angelina said she is just more comfortable expressing herself thru her singing and writing as opposed to speaking...mery posted a pix on angelina's bday ( years back ) of the two of them captioned " my soul mate " ...sara said she knew angelina was SPECIAL at an early age..she was not talking about musical genius but said angelina had an incredible LOVE of children...greatest family ever !!!
Hi Clyde Nothing you say surprises me. I actually recorded #5 video today (it's the 7th one I made but it's jumping the queue) where I actually speak about AJ's vision of LOVE. But my daughter (aka my producer, editor, cameraman and technical supervisor) is waiting for a hard drive. So we're in a bit of limbo. Hope it's online within 48 hrs!!
Once again you hit the ball out of the park with a very different but thought provoking insight into what makes Angelina so special in ways other than her voice and amazing musicality. I understand that this is your opinion, but I think it will resonate with her legions of fans. Thank you for your research, and sharing.
I feel that Angelina's the finest brush in existence being used by her grandmother to try to paint the world as a much more beautiful place. It is inspiring to see how she affects others, such as yourself Alan, to perpetuate the spread of her beautiful picture. Thank you for all of your great insight and hard work.
Thank you, Alan, for your wonderful perspectives and commentary. I imagine a great majority of Angelina's fans agree with the segments you highlighted in this video, and that they have many of their own favorites in addition. Even though there are so many of those "magical" moments in her performances, the first one one you played is still my favorite. I remember the first time I heard her sing "your Daddy's rich" and I thought it was the most beautiful thing I ever heard. I have listened to that video hundreds of times and still get chills hearing it. Thanks again for shining your spotlight on Angelina. Looking forward to your next installment!
Alan, I had noted on one of your earlier commentaries that I was looking forward to watching more of them. I then said "I hope they always remain a labor of love". Little did I know then how powerfully and completely this young woman had impacted you. Yes, it is her voice, and the way she uses that voice to reach us as few, if any ,ever have. It is also about her character, her story, her upbringing, and the humility and humanity she has displayed. I am sure she will continue to be true to these values despite the fame and adoration that will surely find her. She was only 11 or 12 when she wrote Shield. The first time I heard it I was stunned to hear her sing, "forgive me for all that I am". What 11 or 12 year old could possibly be thinking and communicating about something as complex and intimate as that? The answer is not one. This barefoot princess as an artist and as a human being is truly a once in a life time gift to the world. We are blessed to be able to witness her emergence as one of the all time greats. Please keep these commentaries coming.
Her first song. What is life. At that age girls are transitioning from toys to boys. Would love to ask her about that one not to mention "all of fears tearing right through my bones" from shield. what kid understand that.
Very nice explanation/recognition of Angelina and Alan. My wife and I were bless med to meet both of them while there for two of her concerts. The only that shined more than Angelina’s music was Humility. I’ve attended many concerts over the years. I have never witnessed any other Artist with anything close to Angelina’s heartfelt sincerity, of love for her fans. She truly means it when she says she wants to spread love and peace to everyone. Alan is so dedicated to spreading the knowledge of the wonders that are Angelina to others. His reaction/ history lessons and the Wrapped in a warm blanket podcasts (With Allan, Pontus and others) are so tastefully done. He does it out of love and asks for nothing more than for the spreading of the gift that Angelia is.
Thanks Alan. I'm about your age, and I sooo wish I could spontaneously and eloquently express myself in the way that you do. Angelina is the best kind of a force of nature!
Thanks John. Interesting how things have evolved in the 4 weeks since I've started this channel. I now consider it a calling to try and elaborate how I understand AJ, her gift and her message. It may not be possible but I will continue to amplify her benevolence. Most of her fans sense something supernatural. I'm just trying to put it all into words and focus the discussion.
Alan, thank you so much for this channel. I too am an Angelinaologist, or Angelinaphile, as I describe myself. By the time she appeared on AGT Champions, I was already very familiar with this incredibly talented young lady. I subscribed after hearing your I put a spell on you commentary, the first of your videos that I saw. I have watched more Angelina reaction videos than I can count and very rarely do I subscribe. Because I like you so much I want to point something out, not because I'm that picky, but because I don't want other reactors to make a fuss. You described yourself as the exclusive Angelina reactor/commentator, and I know that what you meant was you are the only exclusively Angelina reactor. The prior means you're the only person doing Angelina, the latter means you do only Angelina. Keep up the absolutely wonderful work. Thank you again for your channel. After 6 months in shut-down caring for my 89-year-old mother, I really needed you and your channel to come into my life. 🌷
Well done, Alan. There is a wonderful Angelina moment that has nothing to do with her singing and also everything to do with her singing. In her interview by Anne Lindmo following her book publication, when she reads from her diary it tells you a huge amount about her heart.
Alan, THANK YOU for bringing this wonderful in deep phylosiphy into my life! Due to CRONIC health reasons, your programme is uplift, encouraging, and always, always a pleasure to watch and listen to your soothing voice! Blessings to you and your daughter! Hugs and jelly tot kisses to you both! From Colleen Pretorius in South Africa. Yes, I cannot save the world, but I CAN always do something for someone else, who is worse off than me! Cheers. I'm out of here, till next time!......XX
angelina could be channeling her grandmother's emotional content through her incredible voice... there's no other way to explain how a child could have such depth and emotional content
I agree with you. AJ said something revealing in a recent interview. She said, "I am not aware of an age difference between myself and my granny." For me, the translation of that line is, "I am her and she is me." Or, to put it another way, "We are Siamese twins joined at the heart, brain and soul."
I also loved your presentation, thank you so much. I feel as deeply as you do about who Angelina is. She has moved me spiritually and caused me to feel humble in my love of her as a human being and also to feel blessed to experience her talent in music. I also feel her Grandmother is a very special woman. I understand she has signed a record deal. I hope her Grandma and Uncle continue to keep a blessed eye on her, the world and the entertainment industry is full of evil predators.
It's a huge wonder that AJ is already the greatest singer ever. Even bigger wonder is that there is such great goodness, humility and wisdom of the heart in the same person. After giving her shoes to that poor girl Angelina wrote: "The world is very strange. Right then and there I felt as if a door in my heart opened up and it was filled with lots of light. It was as if there was, from earth to heaven, a staircase. I climbed up the staircase. To be able to do something for another human it was such a big thing. Hard to describe really..." ruclips.net/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/видео.html That quote starts at 3.37 in that video.
Love the analysis into this little Angel. I know we all have those songs with special words or facial expressions that touch us. I think I said before; I am translating her book. One page has words that really move me. And what so mind blowing is that this book is written nearly word for word from her writings at 6 years old. She says, “Living with the love of others is a heavy burden. I want to be a star. A star cannot shine without darkness. And I want to shine more and more.” My thoughts on the heavy burden sentence. I think it could be interpreted two ways. Having everyone love her is hard because you don’t want to disappoint others. Or her caring and loving all those like the shoeless girl is hard because there is so much poverty in the world. She wants to be a star but a star cannot shine without darkness. Obviously bad things (darkness) happens on the road to being a star. So many artists it seems are inspired by painful memories. This young angel has already experienced quite a few in her young life. Anyone else have thoughts on this ?
So well put. Angelina is redefining the word "star" and the meaning of stardom. Alan Papier transcends the role of a reactor. His way of analysing - her singing, her personality, her upbringing, her spirituality,...- that is exactly what Angelina needs and deserves. And we, as her audience, as well.
Hi J, I love metaphysical discussions- so allow me to respond to the above. This is just the type of discussion I was hoping to inspire with my video. I would offer that both interpretations are valid. Her Shield line, 'Forgive me for all that I am' slightly favours the former but I'm not a believer in splitting hairs. But there's another point to be made. What is the % of shining stars compared to the % of darkness? Can we increase the number and luminosity of shining stars and still recognise them as stars? Of course, we can. There will always be darkness. But if it could be 10% instead of 80%. I have no doubt our dear AJ would not mind the competition from other shining stars. One of my priorities is not to touch religion or politics. But this purity of spirit, this benevolence is common to all religions; it is interdenominational. Let me leave you with an image. The Pope is walking down the street. He stops to kiss every man, woman and child on the forehead and says, "Bless you, my child" Does he worry about mixing with pagans? Does he worry about chapped lips? But to make my point, how must the Pope be feeling to do this?!? And more to the point, how can I/you/everyone move our soul to feel the same way? Saintly role models should lead by example, as our dear AJ does.
alan papier thanks for responding. Thanks for bringing up Shield. I don’t want to start a Shield discussion yet. I think it would be a good song/video to discuss. The video directed by Mery has a lot of symbolism in it. Love the Pope comparison. And I know you aren’t saying she’s like the pope. But I believe she does care for others on a level that everyone should aspire to. In her book after giving her shoes away she writes, “The world is very strange, right there and then I felt that a door in my heart opened and that it was filled with lots of light. It was if there was a staircase from earth to heaven. I climbed the stairs, to be able to do something for another human being was so big, hard to say exactly “
@@thealanpapier "Something has been liberated within Angelina Jordan by the wisdom of her grandmother". Exactly. Too soon to discuss definitions but it's there.
This is so fresh, I enjoyed it very much. I believe some day Angelina will want to meet you, and Rusty for your heart, support and love you’ve shown her in the past three weeks or three years. Thank you both for introducing Angelina to me.
I am glad you are here. Many of us who follow Angelina have difficulty expressing on reactor sites the spiritual side as we do not want to be perceived as kooks. The time has come to realize that there is much more to Angelina than her singing. Angelina knows who she is and she knows what she wants to accomplished, and it has nothing to do with making money to build the big house on the hill and the purchase of a Lamborghini.
I must say I enjoy your channel as much or more than anything else I listen to about Angelina. The reactors here that are truly sincere are few and far between. I think you, like Angelina, are a very special person. You are not doing this for personal gain. You genuinely demonstrate a warm heart and soul, which is refreshing in this day and age. I wish the best for Angelina, and for you as well!
I'm overwhelmed. Thank you for starting this journey and long may you be around for me to enjoy it. Your enthusiasm for Angelina is doing encourages me to keep breath in and out a little longer :-)
As someone who sees the usual commentators on various Angelina threads, let me just encourage the continued breath....I'm maybe 18 or 20 behind you, so keep on inspiring the musical masses....and we'll all keep on!
Another word to add to your list: in her first (viral) song it really showed very early on just how exceptional her voice was at the age of seven, and left no doubt (to me anyway) about how far she could go - When she sings "slumberland" in the very beginning of "Gloomy Sunday" I still get shivers.
This is a good idea for a series on Angelina. There are already so many 'reaction' videos out there. I think it's time to have a 'next level' of videos that explore the vast wonders of what this little genius has done. I think you could do many of these videos that zero in on the special moments. There are so many of these moments to be found throughout her career. As I type this, many of those moments are coming to mind here's some you could look at... The word "and" at 1.00 in "I who have nothing": ruclips.net/video/RjQZKBpVaes/видео.html The word "woods" at near the end of Yellow brick road: ruclips.net/video/4XOMskgN8w4/видео.html The word "change" at about 2.58 in "Every time we say goodbye": ruclips.net/video/KRSI8HmTHJA/видео.html The word "comes" at about 2.00 in "Here comes the sun": ruclips.net/video/jETueO0jvB8/видео.html ...I could go on all day with these. Her entire career is a gold mine of these special moments. ....and of course "down" and "drown" in still holding out.... I know we discussed this a little under your first video, and while I don't think this video should be promoted, I do think that in the short clip format you are doing here, and for the purpose of study... that song would be appropriate in that instance.
Hi Rusty, Thanks for the encouraging words. I obviously have the bit between my teeth and I'm simply illustrating all the different ways she is so extraordinary. If today's video was vertical ( 8 songs from Angelina), then the next one will be horizontal (8 singers doing the same song). I start with Bob Dylan and end up with AJ. Recorded today- online Tuesday
@@thealanpapier If you would like an idea for another one of the "horizontal" style, check the pinned comment under this video.... ruclips.net/video/sDUgxwR4RZI/видео.html
Hi Rusty and Alan! Rusty do you remember when we asked the members of our fanclub words they loved from Angelina's performances? We had quite a lot of replies to that. It's a great idea that Alan is doing it with the actual videos. Congrats, Alan!!!
Yes, it is time for this sort of "next level" video. At this point, there shouldn't really be anymore "first time" reactions (see next paragraph). Thoughtful observation and analysis are now in order. In early 2019, Sandy (Smylyface channel) wondered out loud if she had been living under a rock because Angelina had been around for quite a long time already and she was just then hearing about her. In a subsequent reaction she noted how surprised she was that there were so few other reactors to Angelina's videos. No shortage of reactors now, and while one should not speak ill of any Angelina Jordan fan, some of them may just reside in a geologic strata a teensy bit below ground level.
Thank you Alan for articulating what I feel. I have become an AJ tragic since being introduced to her during Covid 19 lockdown. One silver lining from a global trauma.
Alan, I am impressed with the research you do before you react to Angelina's music. A lot of people just play a song, they aren't familiar with the original artist or have ever heard the song before. One appreciates Angelina so much more when you hear how masterfully she Angelinaizes the original. Thank you and keep up the work!
I have spent the last 5 years following Angelina it has almost become an obsession I love your approach also the book you referenced by Angelina is called "Mellom to hjerter" (Between Two Hearts) kind of says it all.
Thank you, Thank you. I love your videos. You have your own gift. Communicating the essence of Angelina Jordan. You are like no other on RUclips. Truly amazing insight to delving into the true person Angelina is. I appreciate the research it takes to put thes videos together ❤. You are my hero. Much love, keep sharing your thoughts about Angelina's life and her gift. Much appreciated. 🥰
Thank you, Nadine, for your kind words. I am pleased to tell you that making these videos is more fun than it is work. I am really enjoying making them. And there's no let up in sight. I have 6 in the freezer ready to defrost before publishing. And I'm really excited about the next 2 I will be publishing!! Keep watching. Set your alarm for Saturdays 3pm London time
I Think, I am sure that Angelina is highly intelligent. There are enough indications of such. One that as a young girl she could grap te emotions in a song and live them while singing. At 6 she did sing a song and read the lyrics in English at the same time. Aged 9 she wrote a book. That might also explain her shyness. she does not want to show off, she is not a diva. And that restrain may look like shyness. Whatever she does, aside of singing, shows her as a super "grand lady" who deserves and gets our respect. Not just you and me but millions around the world. Thank you for being Angelina. Oh one more, when she was 2 years old she listened to jazz records with her granny.
Thank you Alan that was a very heartfelt message and all of us who follow her, as best we can, applaud you and hope we can rise to meet her genius in generosity of heart.
Excellent observations! especially the one when Angelina was in the studio for the first time - she knew then that her singing dreams will be realized and in such a cool way too, that's why she was so excited. Good stuff!
15 min ago i found your channel ,,,,after 20 seconds subscribed,,,,,its now 2 am and i am so happy ,,,,,,,,,,i am your generation and i think most of Angelinas fans are more mature than young and the best reactions so far are done by mature male reactors,,, * no jealousy) you are now on another level like Angelina,,,,,,and yes we need this channel because she is an experience you find only once in a life time,,,,,,,thanx
Angelina has done much more than gift her shoes. It is estimated that concerts in which she has performed (dozens) have raised more than 22,000,000 Euros for charity. I don't know, with the exception of Norway's Got Talent and perhaps America's got Talent, that she has ever been paid for her performances - all of them for charitable and non-profit enterprises. And most of the money she won on Norway's Got Talent (500,000 Kr., about $80,000 U.S.) was donated to charity.
I really enjoy your commentaries and found all of the information about her grandmother's influence helpful. Evidently, Angelina was also very close to her grandfather but there has not been much information about that. I look forward to your review and commentary on SHEILD the lyrics of which I found upsetting.
Thank you so kindly for sharing the depth of how Angelina has touched your soul. Your words of great insight are golden and I am moved by your tireless commitment to use your channel as a platform to spread Angelina awareness. Bless you, my friend.
Alan. Watching your AJ channel and the pods casts is like attending a very unique AA (Angelina Alcoholics) meeting, where we can, without shame/embarrassment admit what we feel when we listen to her and how she has helped us be better people. Thank you
Thanks Tom. We haven't forgotten you. You are still on our radar. We will record our podcast together sometime in September and you can elaborate. Cheers
So glad to find and subscribe to your channel . I've been binging on "Reactions" for hours tonight totally unsatisfied but you make her real . Thank you for letting me know this Angel even more . I've been a fan since she won in Norway .
I really appreciate your unique approach. I actually have a thought that could fall into it, which it you want, you can take. It is this, I have four examples of her using what I'll refer to as subliminal messaging. I don't know if these are thought out or just her innate musicality taking over. Here are the examples. 1. Yellow Brick Road. "OW" as in pain and hurt of the treatment and breakup that is the meaning of the song. She has a way through the song of always clearly saying the "OW" part of any word that it is apart of. Almost a reverse embellishment, in a way Elton just didn't. And then she even added it into her last run. 2 I'm Not The Only One. She rhymes "Tear" with "Fear" instead of "Care" Which, in it's duality, really ups the emotion of the lyrics. 3. Wake Me Up. In this tribute song, she sings in and alternative stage of grief, Contemplation. She then emphasizes "M"'s and a few "N"'s and then adds a few more "M"'s. I actually had the image of the thinker pop into my head. 4. Million Years Ago. Yes, you just played the exact section of lyrics I'm going to talk about. Mainly the "Refection They See ". First on "Reflection" she extends the first "E" in the soft version {opposed to the Hard "E" in previous "Regret". Then she barely sings the "FL" in "Flec" which makes me hear the line as "Wreck On The Sea" . This almost doesn't make sense, but being alone on a wrecked sinking ship, matches with the emotions of the song. So there they are. If you hear what I hear, and want to share it, then go ahead. Or I could be hearing to much into it.
Hi, I am so happy that you do exclusively on AJ, I like the way you do research the songs who sang the original artist, the first video you did when she was 6yr old now what 6yr old would pick a song like that usually they go for Beyonce, even though she did not sang it perfect but come on that blue my mind. Her voice is like liquid gold I love all the songs she picks incredible and just amazingly the whole planet should no about her, hopefully they will I just adore her and I am 68yr old. I thank you for doing this for her and all the fans!

Beautifully said, Alan! I agree 100% with what you said. Angelina's voice and artistry are very, very special indeed. But her kindness, her humility and her genuine generosity is what makes her extra special. And that's why when she sings, she's able to touch the hearts of the listeners and convey so much feeling in each and every song.
Angelina is an important force in music. She is a change, an about face in the direction of music from sultry hedonism to the classiness of our highest emotions and values. Humility, love, empathy, ambition, generosity, the joy of hard work.
Angelina's love of music and singing has been shown to me through her videos. We are so fortunate that at an early age so much was recorded or even some how ordered. Either way we have them and because of that they can be shared with the world. Angelina is my favorite singer but she happens to be my favorite human also.

Hi Clyde Nothing you say surprises me. I actually recorded #5 video today (it's the 7th one I made but it's jumping the queue) where I actually speak about AJ's vision of LOVE. But my daughter (aka my producer, editor, cameraman and technical supervisor) is waiting for a hard drive. So we're in a bit of limbo. Hope it's online within 48 hrs!!
Once again you hit the ball out of the park with a very different but thought provoking insight into what makes Angelina so special in ways other than her voice and amazing musicality. I understand that this is your opinion, but I think it will resonate with her legions of fans. Thank you for your research, and sharing.
I feel that Angelina's the finest brush in existence being used by her grandmother to try to paint the world as a much more beautiful place. It is inspiring to see how she affects others, such as yourself Alan, to perpetuate the spread of her beautiful picture. Thank you for all of your great insight and hard work.
Loved seeing those special moments being emphasized!
No words....Angelina is ........MUSIC!!😍📢
I am 63 yo. Thanks so much!
Thank you, Alan, for your wonderful perspectives and commentary. I imagine a great majority of Angelina's fans agree with the segments you highlighted in this video, and that they have many of their own favorites in addition. Even though there are so many of those "magical" moments in her performances, the first one one you played is still my favorite. I remember the first time I heard her sing "your Daddy's rich" and I thought it was the most beautiful thing I ever heard. I have listened to that video hundreds of times and still get chills hearing it. Thanks again for shining your spotlight on Angelina. Looking forward to your next installment!
lets be short,, Angelina is some thing else a legend in the making
She always sends me into orbit with that one word “daddy“ as well! It has the sound of something you would hear in a soundtrack of a James Bond movie!
Actualy you arw helping us all to see angelina at a deeoer Leavell and know more of her history thankyou ,you go must deepr than anyone else
Angelina is fascinating. I listen in amazement and hope it never ends.
Alan, I had noted on one of your earlier commentaries that I was looking forward to watching more of them. I then said "I hope they always remain a labor of love". Little did I know then how powerfully and completely this young woman had impacted you. Yes, it is her voice, and the way she uses that voice to reach us as few, if any ,ever have. It is also about her character, her story, her upbringing, and the humility and humanity she has displayed. I am sure she will continue to be true to these values despite the fame and adoration that will surely find her. She was only 11 or 12 when she wrote Shield. The first time I heard it I was stunned to hear her sing, "forgive me for all that I am". What 11 or 12 year old could possibly be thinking and communicating about something as complex and intimate as that? The answer is not one. This barefoot princess as an artist and as a human being is truly a once in a life time gift to the world. We are blessed to be able to witness her emergence as one of the all time greats. Please keep these commentaries coming.
Her first song. What is life. At that age girls are transitioning from toys to boys. Would love to ask her about that one not to mention "all of fears tearing right through my bones" from shield. what kid understand that.
So well said! ☺️☺️☺️💯👌
Great statement, nicely worded.
Very nice explanation/recognition of Angelina and Alan. My wife and I were bless med to meet both of them while there for two of her concerts. The only that shined more than Angelina’s music was Humility. I’ve attended many concerts over the years. I have never witnessed any other Artist with anything close to Angelina’s heartfelt sincerity, of love for her fans. She truly means it when she says she wants to spread love and peace to everyone.
Alan is so dedicated to spreading the knowledge of the wonders that are Angelina to others. His reaction/ history lessons and the Wrapped in a warm blanket podcasts (With Allan, Pontus and others) are so tastefully done. He does it out of love and asks for nothing more than for the spreading of the gift that Angelia is.
Agree with you so much, that Daddy just melts me everytime👏👍❤️
Thank you. Here you are at number four and it has started.
Thanks Alan. I'm about your age, and I sooo wish I could spontaneously and eloquently express myself in the way that you do. Angelina is the best kind of a force of nature!
AJ will be a legend guaranteed
I quickly subscribed to you channel when you said you only do Angelina Jordan reaction this is just awesome.
This is, without question, one of the VERY BEST RUclips commentaries I have ever heard and seen! Thank you, Alan Papier!
Thanks John.
Interesting how things have evolved in the 4 weeks since I've started this channel. I now consider it a calling to try and elaborate how I understand AJ, her gift and her message. It may not be possible but I will continue to amplify her benevolence. Most of her fans sense something supernatural. I'm just trying to put it all into words and focus the discussion.
Thank you.
You are making me a better person by bringing your perspective of life, art, love.
Thank you. That's why I started my channel!!
Alan, thank you so much for this channel. I too am an Angelinaologist, or Angelinaphile, as I describe myself. By the time she appeared on AGT Champions, I was already very familiar with this incredibly talented young lady. I subscribed after hearing your I put a spell on you commentary, the first of your videos that I saw. I have watched more Angelina reaction videos than I can count and very rarely do I subscribe. Because I like you so much I want to point something out, not because I'm that picky, but because I don't want other reactors to make a fuss. You described yourself as the exclusive Angelina reactor/commentator, and I know that what you meant was you are the only exclusively Angelina reactor. The prior means you're the only person doing Angelina, the latter means you do only Angelina. Keep up the absolutely wonderful work. Thank you again for your channel. After 6 months in shut-down caring for my 89-year-old mother, I really needed you and your channel to come into my life. 🌷
A wonderful journey thanks Alan.
Well done, Alan. There is a wonderful Angelina moment that has nothing to do with her singing and also everything to do with her singing. In her interview by Anne Lindmo following her book publication, when she reads from her diary it tells you a huge amount about her heart.
❤👍🥰
This was a quite great reaction. I totally agree with you. Emotional and tender ❤😥
Beautifully expressed!!! 👍👍👍
Your's is the way to visualize the true genius in AJ. Great!
Thank You so much...❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Best Angelina Jordan u tuber. It's wonderful to get to really under Angelina & love her music even more through you
Agree with “Daddy”...so much! Those early sessions were great! ...and so on and on! Love your presentation!
Alan, THANK YOU for bringing this wonderful in deep phylosiphy into my life! Due to CRONIC health reasons, your programme is uplift, encouraging, and always, always a pleasure to watch and listen to your soothing voice! Blessings to you and your daughter! Hugs and jelly tot kisses to you both! From Colleen Pretorius in South Africa. Yes, I cannot save the world, but I CAN always do something for someone else, who is worse off than me! Cheers. I'm out of here, till next time!......XX
Thank you so much Alan👌🏼❤️🐨🇦🇺
angelina could be channeling her grandmother's emotional content through her incredible voice... there's no other way to explain how a child could have such depth and emotional content
I agree with you.
AJ said something revealing in a recent interview. She said, "I am not aware of an age difference between myself and my granny."
For me, the translation of that line is, "I am her and she is me." Or, to put it another way,
"We are Siamese twins joined at the heart, brain and soul."
@@thealanpapier wow, I didn't even know Angelina said these things...
🙏🙏👍👍💙💙u are right ag got too much influence from her grandma and they adore each other is like they are 2 souls in 1 body
I also loved your presentation, thank you so much. I feel as deeply as you do about who Angelina is. She has moved me spiritually and caused me to feel humble in my love of her as a human being and also to feel blessed to experience her talent in music. I also feel her Grandmother is a very special woman. I understand she has signed a record deal. I hope her Grandma and Uncle continue to keep a blessed eye on her, the world and the entertainment industry is full of evil predators.
It's a huge wonder that AJ is already the greatest singer ever. Even bigger wonder is that there is such great goodness, humility and wisdom of the heart in the same person. After giving her shoes to that poor girl Angelina wrote: "The world is very strange. Right then and there I felt as if a door in my heart opened up and it was filled with lots of light. It was as if there was, from earth to heaven, a staircase. I climbed up the staircase. To be able to do something for another human it was such a big thing. Hard to describe really..." ruclips.net/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/видео.html That quote starts at 3.37 in that video.
This is GREAT!
Thank you
I Love Angelina
Yo tambien
Love the analysis into this little Angel. I know we all have those songs with special words or facial expressions that touch us. I think I said before; I am translating her book. One page has words that really move me. And what so mind blowing is that this book is written nearly word for word from her writings at 6 years old. She says, “Living with the love of others is a heavy burden. I want to be a star. A star cannot shine without darkness. And I want to shine more and more.” My thoughts on the heavy burden sentence. I think it could be interpreted two ways. Having everyone love her is hard because you don’t want to disappoint others. Or her caring and loving all those like the shoeless girl is hard because there is so much poverty in the world. She wants to be a star but a star cannot shine without darkness. Obviously bad things (darkness) happens on the road to being a star. So many artists it seems are inspired by painful memories. This young angel has already experienced quite a few in her young life. Anyone else have thoughts on this ?
So well put. Angelina is redefining the word "star" and the meaning of stardom. Alan Papier transcends the role of a reactor. His way of analysing - her singing, her personality, her upbringing, her spirituality,...- that is exactly what Angelina needs and deserves. And we, as her audience, as well.
Hi J, I love metaphysical discussions- so allow me to respond to the above. This is just the type of discussion I was hoping to inspire with my video.
I would offer that both interpretations are valid. Her Shield line, 'Forgive me for all that I am' slightly favours the former but I'm not a believer in splitting hairs.
But there's another point to be made. What is the % of shining stars compared to the % of darkness? Can we increase the number and luminosity of shining stars and still recognise them as stars? Of course, we can.
There will always be darkness. But if it could be 10% instead of 80%. I have no doubt our dear AJ would not mind the competition from other shining stars.
One of my priorities is not to touch religion or politics. But this purity of spirit, this benevolence is common to all religions; it is interdenominational.
Let me leave you with an image. The Pope is walking down the street. He stops to kiss every man, woman and child on the forehead and says, "Bless you, my child" Does he worry about mixing with pagans? Does he worry about chapped lips?
But to make my point, how must the Pope be feeling to do this?!? And more to the point, how can I/you/everyone move our soul to feel the same way?
Saintly role models should lead by example, as our dear AJ does.
alan papier thanks for responding. Thanks for bringing up Shield. I don’t want to start a Shield discussion yet. I think it would be a good song/video to discuss. The video directed by Mery has a lot of symbolism in it. Love the Pope comparison. And I know you aren’t saying she’s like the pope. But I believe she does care for others on a level that everyone should aspire to. In her book after giving her shoes away she writes, “The world is very strange, right there and then I felt that a door in my heart opened and that it was filled with lots of light. It was if there was a staircase from earth to heaven. I climbed the stairs, to be able to do something for another human being was so big, hard to say exactly “
@@thealanpapier "Something has been liberated within Angelina Jordan by the wisdom of her grandmother". Exactly. Too soon to discuss definitions but it's there.
This is just perfect!
This is so fresh, I enjoyed it very much. I believe some day Angelina will want to meet you, and Rusty for your heart, support and love you’ve shown her in the past three weeks or three years. Thank you both for introducing Angelina to me.
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Angelina gives me hope for the human race.
I am glad you are here. Many of us who follow Angelina have difficulty expressing on reactor sites the spiritual side as we do not want to be perceived as kooks. The time has come to realize that there is much more to Angelina than her singing. Angelina knows who she is and she knows what she wants to accomplished, and it has nothing to do with making money to build the big house on the hill and the purchase of a Lamborghini.
Bill Weekley it is quite nice when the occasional bodhisattva does a stint on this planet.
Ken Macphee She is beyond a Cosmic Avatar and she is the first I have seen. Her aura is beyond comprehension.
I must say I enjoy your channel as much or more than anything else I listen to about Angelina. The reactors here that are truly sincere are few and far between. I think you, like Angelina, are a very special person. You are not doing this for personal gain. You genuinely demonstrate a warm heart and soul, which is refreshing in this day and age. I wish the best for Angelina, and for you as well!
Merci alain. Yes she and mery are amazing spirits. I get it that republic records is a means to reach the world about the greatest power that is love.
I'm overwhelmed. Thank you for starting this journey and long may you be around for me to enjoy it. Your enthusiasm for Angelina is doing encourages me to keep breath in and out a little longer :-)
As someone who sees the usual commentators on various Angelina threads, let me just encourage the continued breath....I'm maybe 18 or 20 behind you, so keep on inspiring the musical masses....and we'll all keep on!
Another word to add to your list: in her first (viral) song it really showed very early on just how exceptional her voice was at the age of seven, and left no doubt (to me anyway) about how far she could go - When she sings "slumberland" in the very beginning of "Gloomy Sunday" I still get shivers.
This is a good idea for a series on Angelina. There are already so many 'reaction' videos out there. I think it's time to have a 'next level' of videos that explore the vast wonders of what this little genius has done. I think you could do many of these videos that zero in on the special moments. There are so many of these moments to be found throughout her career. As I type this, many of those moments are coming to mind here's some you could look at...
The word "and" at 1.00 in "I who have nothing": ruclips.net/video/RjQZKBpVaes/видео.html
The word "woods" at near the end of Yellow brick road: ruclips.net/video/4XOMskgN8w4/видео.html
The word "change" at about 2.58 in "Every time we say goodbye": ruclips.net/video/KRSI8HmTHJA/видео.html
The word "comes" at about 2.00 in "Here comes the sun": ruclips.net/video/jETueO0jvB8/видео.html
...I could go on all day with these. Her entire career is a gold mine of these special moments.
....and of course "down" and "drown" in still holding out.... I know we discussed this a little under your first video, and while I don't think this video should be promoted, I do think that in the short clip format you are doing here, and for the purpose of study... that song would be appropriate in that instance.
Hi Rusty, Thanks for the encouraging words. I obviously have the bit between my teeth and I'm simply illustrating all the different ways she is so extraordinary. If today's video was vertical ( 8 songs from Angelina), then the next one will be horizontal (8 singers doing the same song). I start with Bob Dylan and end up with AJ. Recorded today- online Tuesday
@@thealanpapier If you would like an idea for another one of the "horizontal" style, check the pinned comment under this video.... ruclips.net/video/sDUgxwR4RZI/видео.html
@@RustyShacklefordChannel This is totally on my radar. I am comparing this song to the original Jacque Brel version (in French!!) in video #6
Hi Rusty and Alan! Rusty do you remember when we asked the members of our fanclub words they loved from Angelina's performances? We had quite a lot of replies to that. It's a great idea that Alan is doing it with the actual videos.
Congrats, Alan!!!
Yes, it is time for this sort of "next level" video. At this point, there shouldn't really be anymore "first time" reactions (see next paragraph). Thoughtful observation and analysis are now in order.
In early 2019, Sandy (Smylyface channel) wondered out loud if she had been living under a rock because Angelina had been around for quite a long time already and she was just then hearing about her. In a subsequent reaction she noted how surprised she was that there were so few other reactors to Angelina's videos. No shortage of reactors now, and while one should not speak ill of any Angelina Jordan fan, some of them may just reside in a geologic strata a teensy bit below ground level.
I ENJOY the finer points of her talent
Thank you Alan for articulating what I feel. I have become an AJ tragic since being introduced to her during Covid 19 lockdown. One silver lining from a global trauma.
Alan, I am impressed with the research you do before you react to Angelina's music. A lot of people just play a song, they aren't familiar with the original artist or have ever heard the song before. One appreciates Angelina so much more when you hear how masterfully she Angelinaizes the original. Thank you and keep up the work!
I'm with you on this.
I really appreciate what you do. It is so fulfilling to commune with someone with the same feelings and mindset for this artist’s work. Thank you!
Lovely Alan Thanks 💖
I have spent the last 5 years following Angelina it has almost become an obsession I love your approach also the book you referenced by Angelina is called "Mellom to hjerter" (Between Two Hearts) kind of says it all.
As far as obsessions go, she is one of the very best to have
I'm still watching your channel. Keep it up. Thank you.
Thank you Alan, your approach to Angelina moves me.
Thank you, Thank you. I love your videos. You have your own gift. Communicating the essence of Angelina Jordan. You are like no other on RUclips. Truly amazing insight to delving into the true person Angelina is. I appreciate the research it takes to put thes videos together ❤. You are my hero. Much love, keep sharing your thoughts about Angelina's life and her gift. Much appreciated. 🥰
Thank you, Nadine, for your kind words.
I am pleased to tell you that making these videos is more fun than it is work. I am really enjoying making them.
And there's no let up in sight. I have 6 in the freezer ready to defrost before publishing. And I'm really excited about the next 2 I will be publishing!! Keep watching. Set your alarm for Saturdays 3pm London time
I Think, I am sure that Angelina is highly intelligent. There are enough indications of such. One that as a young girl she could grap te emotions in a song and live them while singing. At 6 she did sing a song and read the lyrics in English at the same time. Aged 9 she wrote a book. That might also explain her shyness. she does not want to show off, she is not a diva. And that restrain may look like shyness. Whatever she does, aside of singing, shows her as a super "grand lady" who deserves and gets our respect. Not just you and me but millions around the world. Thank you for being Angelina.
Oh one more, when she was 2 years old she listened to jazz records with her granny.
Thank you for your interesting channel about Angelina.
Thank you Alan that was a very heartfelt message and all of us who follow her, as best we can, applaud you and hope we can rise to meet her genius in generosity of heart.
Well done Alan.
A true angeliniologist at work (y)!
Excellent observations! especially the one when Angelina was in the studio for the first time - she knew then that her singing dreams will be realized and in such a cool way too, that's why she was so excited. Good stuff!
Well said!

15 min ago i found your channel ,,,,after 20 seconds subscribed,,,,,its now 2 am and i am so happy ,,,,,,,,,,i am your generation and i think most of Angelinas fans are more mature than young and the best reactions so far are done by mature male reactors,,, * no jealousy) you are now on another level like Angelina,,,,,,and yes we need this channel because she is an experience you find only once in a life time,,,,,,,thanx
Alan, thank you! Your insights and your approach - absolutely brilliant!
Angelina has done much more than gift her shoes. It is estimated that concerts in which she has performed (dozens) have raised more than 22,000,000 Euros for charity. I don't know, with the exception of Norway's Got Talent and perhaps America's got Talent, that she has ever been paid for her performances - all of them for charitable and non-profit enterprises. And most of the money she won on Norway's Got Talent (500,000 Kr., about $80,000 U.S.) was donated to charity.
I am so glad I dived into this particular video, even if I'd never noted them before. Most excellent.
The shoes that Angelina gave to that poor girl were Angelina's "Favorite" shoes. It was a Sacrificial gift. +++
:-)) Love
I really enjoy your commentaries and found all of the information about her grandmother's influence helpful. Evidently, Angelina was also very close to her grandfather but there has not been much information about that. I look forward to your review and commentary on SHEILD the lyrics of which I found upsetting.
Your commentary is so rich with background that I never knew about this young woman. Thank you so much for connecting the dots.
Great video and thank you for the history of Mery Zumani.
Thank you so kindly for sharing the depth of how Angelina has touched your soul. Your words of great insight are golden and I am moved by your tireless commitment to use your channel as a platform to spread Angelina awareness. Bless you, my friend.
And very well told!! Thank you for the in depth analysis!!
You, and the commenters, put it into words I am unable to emulate.
Alan. Watching your AJ channel and the pods casts is like attending a very unique AA (Angelina Alcoholics) meeting, where we can, without shame/embarrassment admit what we feel when we listen to her and how she has helped us be better people.
Thank you
Thanks Tom. We haven't forgotten you. You are still on our radar. We will record our podcast together sometime in September and you can elaborate. Cheers
Kocham tą dziewczynę! 💗Jej dusza jest nie z tej ziemi. Słucham bez końca...
Hi My grandfather was born not far from where you were born. He was born in Lutsk in 1890. It was in Poland then, Ukraine now. AP
So glad to find and subscribe to your channel . I've been binging on "Reactions" for hours tonight totally unsatisfied but you make her real . Thank you for letting me know this Angel even more . I've been a fan since she won in Norway .
Alan ,thank you so much for doing this, I've been following your reactions and comments 👏
I really appreciate your unique approach. I actually have a thought that could fall into it, which it you want, you can take. It is this, I have four examples of her using what I'll refer to as subliminal messaging. I don't know if these are thought out or just her innate musicality taking over. Here are the examples.
1. Yellow Brick Road. "OW" as in pain and hurt of the treatment and breakup that is the meaning of the song. She has a way through the song of always clearly saying the "OW" part of any word that it is apart of. Almost a reverse embellishment, in a way Elton just didn't. And then she even added it into her last run.
2 I'm Not The Only One. She rhymes "Tear" with "Fear" instead of "Care" Which, in it's duality, really ups the emotion of the lyrics.
3. Wake Me Up. In this tribute song, she sings in and alternative stage of grief, Contemplation. She then emphasizes "M"'s and a few "N"'s and then adds a few more "M"'s. I actually had the image of the thinker pop into my head.
4. Million Years Ago. Yes, you just played the exact section of lyrics I'm going to talk about. Mainly the "Refection They See ". First on "Reflection" she extends the first "E" in the soft version {opposed to the Hard "E" in previous "Regret". Then she barely sings the "FL" in "Flec" which makes me hear the line as "Wreck On The Sea" . This almost doesn't make sense, but being alone on a wrecked sinking ship, matches with the emotions of the song.
So there they are. If you hear what I hear, and want to share it, then go ahead. Or I could be hearing to much into it.
Hi, I am so happy that you do exclusively on AJ, I like the way you do research the songs who sang the original artist, the first video you did when she was 6yr old now what 6yr old would pick a song like that usually they go for Beyonce, even though she did not sang it perfect but come on that blue my mind. Her voice is like liquid gold I love all the songs she picks incredible and just amazingly the whole planet should no about her, hopefully they will I just adore her and I am 68yr old. I thank you for doing this for her and all the fans!
