Boudy I was filming from about 30 feet away! Opening number, we had never heard it before, and she hits us with those vocals. I have a longer version up that includes the instrumental jamming before she came out. The whole concert was incredible and I was amazed at how rich her voice was live; even the best recordings don’t do it justice. Be sure to check out her slowed down version of “Million Miles,” which had me and many others in tears. Many other great standouts too, such as “Killing Me Softly” and “You Don’t Own Me.” Im going to see her again in Vegas! (Edit: yes I was using an iPhone 13 Pro Max. I also was recording with a separate sound recorder. Yes, it sounded way better live, as you can imagine from how good this recording already sounds. NRK tv was there for two songs so we have great audio of those..)
Boudy , puweety PLEASE!! 😊🙏🏽 Her jamming with the ‘Spell’ band, covering Jay Hawkins’ “Portrait of a Man (child).”. Well worth listening to the original version first, with JH. It’s a beautiful song, with lyrics that you can relate to - especially you. Angelina talks to the band members during the song and they just nod encouragement and continue playing. You do not want to miss this one and you find it on her list.
Another great reaction, thanks. A song that you might consider is "If You Go Away" Angelina was about 10 years old when she sang it. For me it is one of the only times when emotionally she sounds like a child as if she were singing to her father who was away from home for his job . Rusty Shackleford did a painting vudeo for it which is really nice.
Thank you Boudy, every reaction of yours to Angelina is a wonderful moment to listen to you. I was at this fantastic concert in 2022 and this song with which she opened the concert stunned us all, no one imagined that she would choose these tones and this song, it was absolutely exciting it was absolutely emotional and her ability to overcome the effects of the digital tuner with her falsetto is fantastic. There were many angels at the concert, including Chris and Alan, who you know.💛🧡❤
Hi Boudy, I was there too. It was her Norway concert in July 2022. This was her opening number. She just breeze out on stage and hit us with this. No one knew what was going on. She had never sung this song before. The superfans were on their phone trying to work out what this song was. No one had a clue. And of course it is great
Great comment Alan (and wonderful podcast last Thursday😉) BOUDY!… you’ve just stumbled into another HUGE Angelina Jordan rabbit hole! And all of our European Ångels will now get to share with you their thoughts about AJ’s brilliance! Pontus Osterlin was there too (he got to meet Alan IRL). This interaction between Angelina’s “RL” live audience and her HUGE “virtual” audience was what I was hoping would happen in Portsmouth New Hampshire (USA). Sadly it did not. We are hoping that the Westgate in Vegas will treat its audience a bit more liberally. This was a *GREAT* reaction/analysis Boudy. I absolutely LOVE that you noticed Angelina’s ad-libbing for the electronic effects. 😳 It is absolutely mind-boggling how creative this woman is. You may have to go to *TWO* reactions per week (🙏 please🤞)
That all explains why I keep hearing that no matter how good you think she sounds, if you haven't heard her live you haven't heard anything - it is just SO much better... I have heard that many times.
Great reaction. This was a complete surprise to the people in the audience. She opened her show with this song and no one knew it was coming. If you get a chance, there are about 17 other songs from this concert that are well worth watching and reacting to.
Live on stage in the 3 concerts she did that summer the music is unreal it's so good I've listened in it hundreds of times, I just never get tired of it
Thank you for your reviews. I really appreciate all the information you give on the how and why things are done in the music industry. Since I am not a musician, it really helps me to truly appreciate what I am hearing. 😀
Free flowing jazz at its best ! This was I'm sure quite unexpected for audience to witness at this concert. Most would probably expect Angelina to come on and do one of her original songs or covers, but this is the first time I think she's ever performed this song and it's amazing what she did in the composition to make it so jazzy and so wonderful. I think this is the genius of Angelina is that she is so inherently infused with jazz in her DNA. Everything that comes out through vocals is so free-flowing and loosely constructed at times but so tight and controlled. It's totally amazing to witness. Angelina will bring Jazz into the pop world as we all know and I think it's going to be a wonderful combination for mainstream music and the world to enjoy for decades to come. Thank you for being one of the great RUclips channels that support this wonderful artist and keep posting my friend all the angels all over the world. Definitely love what you're doing. Much thanks and love from Canada 👍🇨🇦❤️
As usual Angelina improves a song , she just has the natural innate talent and ability to take song to new heights. She is always a musical adventure to unknown regions. Thanks Arab man you made this even more special by your comments, Saludes!!!
Here Angelina, if ever there was a need, demonstrates her incredible ability to vocally transcribe a very particular song like this, needless to say that the result is simply stupendous! Thanks for the more than fair reaction, good life and music
AJ in power / soul mode, one of my favorite styles for her to sing. She just SLAYS songs like this - see her renditions of Mercy (especially the sitting Portsmouth rehearsal version, unreal!), Rather Be Blind, Man's World. She started the concert with this song and blew the socks off people, as I understand things from those who were there. She never ceases to amaze!
Boudy, this is yet another example of how much music Angelina digests. I truly believe she can recall every song after just one listen. While her cover songs (she doesn't cover songs, she completes them) are awesome, she has told us, she has written more than 100 songs and we have been blessed with 12 to date. Here is the list of her originals, along with songs she was the first to perform. "What is Life" first sung at age 11. We don't know how old she was when she wrote each song. Age presented is her age when she first sang it. "Oslo" age 11 "Shield" age 12 "Million Miles" age 14 we know she wrote this one in the days after her maternal grandfather passed in 2019 when she was 13 "7th Heaven" age 15 "Love Don't Let Me Go" age 17 "Now I'm the Fool" age 17 "Fire and Rain" age 17 "It's All My Fault" age 17 "Good in Goodbyes" age 17 "Diamond" age 17 "Our Time" age 17 Should include songs for which she was the first to sing "I'm Still Holding Out for You" age 10 .... considered one of her best vocal performances by many "Song for A" age 12 "Above the Water" a EDM song released near her 14th birthday "We're the Best" sung with RedOne at the FIFA Awards February 27, 2023 Angelina wrote new lyrics for two famous songs by Amy Winehouse, "Back to Black" and "Rehab" since it was inappropriate for a preteen to sing the original lyrics. For "Back to Black" Angelina wrote the new lyrics in the 24 hours prior to the recording, then needed just two takes.
Having viewed Angelina’s live performances from when she 7 on RUclips, I decided to fly from New York to Norway to see and hear for myself. I had to determine if the sound was enhanced; I.e., post produced. Took my wife as a witness. Then, I met Big Angie Fan, Chris Walker, and was interviewed by the music historian, Alan Piper. Seeing them together was pretty amazing. “Mount Everest” was Angelina’s opening song 🎶. She came on stage, kicked off her slippers, and blew us away. Yup… no enhancing, just amazing. I used a measuring app and got readings of her height between 5’ 11” and 6’ 2”. She has a dominating stage presence as you can see from Chris’ video. Compare her to the bass player… lol. Chris Walker is such an incredible videographer and editor that I am trying to hire him!!! Of course, I went to her New Hampshire concert 🎵. The range of Angelina’s vocal acrobatics was stunning. I heard another fan comment that she could sing “Phantom of the Opera.” Notice how Angelina took the profanity out of “Mount Everest” lyrics. I am waiting for her rendition of “Girl from Ipanema” and “Midnight at the Oasis. Salam!
Another awesome reaction Boudy! This was her own concert in Kongsberg, and another in Kurbadhagen a few days later. From what I have heard from everyone who was lucky enough to attend, both concerts were mind blowingly good! Her performance of "Million Miles" at the Kurbadhagen concert on July 10th will literally knock you off your chair! See you again next Monday.
Hi Boudy - was at the concert a few days later on the 10th where AJ opened with this. Before the show she did a 20 minute sound check, casually dressed in leather jacket and jeans. It was like a mini concert - group of us were watching and she stopped and waved. She did parts of songs, slightly different each time, but did not do this in the sound check. So it was a great opener to the concert. The sound was awesome - I was actually 10 feet from her, but still sounded great.
Hi, Steve. I imagine it was an incredible experience to watch her in this show and the pleasant surprise that this song caused in you. Can you tell us what model your cell phone is and if you used an attached microphone and something to keep the camera stable? Peace from Brazil, Pedro.
Don't feel like the 'Lone Ranger' about having never heard this from her. The real amazing thing is she opened with this song. Angelina put out a couple of TikTok's with some of these notes that led me to believe she was going to be introducing them into her concert menu. I, however, never thought she would break it out like this. This was amazing and her little back and forth with her guitarist was sublime. To let you know Rusty is the Godfather of getting Angelina out to the world. He has a chronological list of Angelina's progress through the first few years of her performing. He also wrote a biography of her early years. All of us owe Rusty a huge thank you for all the hours he put in to get the word out. I don't know if you have seen and heard Angelina's latest rendition of 'Unchained Melody'? It is ......sorry haven't got the words yet to fully express the emotional range it put me through. Let's just say at the end I was laughing and crying at the same time. Here's the link. ruclips.net/video/XxduGSjAJCo/видео.html Angelina 18 'Unchained Melody'
I was there two rows behind Cris filming and the sound of her was divine, best concert ever and her own "Million Miles" version here gave me instant tears. Best concert ever! I hope to get a chance more to hear her live again. Phenomenal reaction as always. Love from Norwegian subscriber.
The stupidest thing the governments in Europe came up with was those "copyright" rules. It put a lot of "content creators" out of business. As the content creators said (and I agreed with them), "We are not making any money off of these videos. It gets the artist out there and known by the people." Personally, I heard artists I have never heard before. In conclusion, it is smart of Angelina to reverse that stupid ruling and sanction it to be put out there. Good for her.
Angelina has not reversed any rulings and specifically requested no video taping from cameras or phone at her New Hampshire performance. Any recordings from there were without her consent.
You liked the guitar and the music in this song, listen next time to "Angelina jordan - It's a Man's World,Live (audio) From Kongsberg jazz Festival 2018" 🦶🦶👑🗣🎙🎷+ 🎸
I know it's not fair, but we mclove it anyway! AJ quality is sooo goood that even with fanfilmed recordings its still worth listening to. Just think you have a whole concert Chris recorded. Thanks again Chris!
When I first heard that interplay with the guitar, it immediately reminded me of the 1972 movie “Deliverance” starring Burt Reynolds. There’s a famous scene in the backwoods of Georgia of two banjo players. So I have named this short interaction “Dueling Angelinas”. In the movie it’s called called “Dueling Banjos”. Reynolds was well known before Deliverance but the movie made him a star.
You looked as though you were having as much fun as Angelina on this one. Once again delving into the original and your take on it just genius. Cheers from Australia 🦘🇦🇺
This was a set of 18 songs with the Jazz band Angelina has performed for years. So, this was a hard act for another band to live up to in September 2023.
Happy Monday, Boudy! Thanks for going to her (fan captured) life performances!! YES, PLEASE!! Because NOW you entering ANGELINA -OVERDRIVE-MODE! You rightfully analyzed her productions beyond superb! But LIFE...... !!!! I'm looking forward! And 2 AJ per week i also would celebrate. But i guess you can't/won't do that. Just saying.
Thats one of the best songs from angelina, so groovy and jazzy, i cant believe, i have listen 100th times, love it....i cant wait to see angelina live on stage 👑♥️🌹💫 thank you for your great reaction 😊❤
This is why "She is" or "Next level event" was a good discription, but "World changer" fits, but only if true! We either end soon or become great. I believe great!
Diese Musiker die hier mit Angelina auf der Bühne sind, kennen Angelina schon sehe sehr lange. Es ist wie eine Familie. Schau dir mal die Rehasals an mit dieser Band. Dir wird es sehr gefallen. Rusty hat alle Videos auf seinem Chanel 202 Videos 👣👣👣
Suggestion: Do AJ : I'd rather go blind. She's good. Then. Do Karise Eden : I'd rather go blind. She's on another level. I'm Norwegian, and I love a lot of Norwegian artists (Angelina, Aurora, Wardruna, Susanne Sundfør, Sivert Høyem & Madrugada, Ane Brun, and so on) because QUALITY, but Karise Eden (from Australia) is something else entirely ❤ You should take the leap and give her a listen 🎶 🎙
Boudy you've done it again.🙂 I am also amazed by AJ's performance and enamored with its uniqueness as part of her portfolio. Your mention of the guitarist's riff brought to mind his riff in their performance of "7th Heaven" (ruclips.net/video/_Bo88l1aFDI/видео.htmlsi=TDqYqUKLfyDg2Pdl). Falling down the RH last night I ran across, what is probably my "new favorite" AJ video, "Crazy" (ruclips.net/video/RI9s_Qp7X_g/видео.htmlsi=KJ02skozHsIV22Y8). Put on RUclips in 2020, I'm guessing that it was recorded in Norway (maybe 2018?). I recognized the same guitarist, upright bass player and pianist from the 2022 Kongsberg concert.
Chris will tell you everything -- but Boudy, this was a fabulous concert. Check out AJ's slowed-down rendition of her original, "Million Miles", also on Rusty's channel: ruclips.net/video/x9dVG5Pgq9o/видео.html. And bring something to cry in to . . . . BTW, AJ held two concerts in Norway when she was 16. They are both spectacular. You have a lot to react to from these concerts.
It's not sanctioned Boudy. Not at all. She hasn't said a thing. And when she does tell us not to use footage or bring camera's, or release footage... We don't listen. We put it out anyway. But just so you know, only her christmas concert and most recent Portsmouth concert are against her wishes. I imagine she does know any new fans from it is a good thing. But don't listen to angels. She said no twice, they didn't listen and excuse themselves by saying she must approve if she didn't take it all down 😂. Bunch of rude overgrown children honestly, it's incredibly weak. But only in that one sense, my only beef around here ever. Angels are terribly selfish and disrespectful in that way. They did wait a little bit, for the two concerts they went against her wishes. I'll give us that. Going forward, if you care about this stuff, assume exclusive content on future concerts, and stay away from those two concerts previous. Portsmouth Sept. 2023, online Xmas concert Dec. 2021. The rest seem fair game, like here. ❤❤ Sorry. But it's true. We are 100% full of shit and rationalizing our wants over her wishes.
I haven't even watched this yet..but I'm so excited! I love this performance! Ok, now I've watched it 😊😊😊..you never disappoint! Chris taped, Rusty edit! I'm seeing her in Vegas! Happy Monday❤
Angelina Jordan blew everyone away with her surprise. Angelina has been singing with this band for years. The call and response is superb. Have you heard the original? Labrinth did his original in a darker way.. Thanks, Boudy.
Boudy, I think you are right, they only minimally rehearsed this & they were jammin'. This is definitely one of the songs I hope she records professionally "Live in Studio" with Republic Records. And, I hope she does more of those falsetto duels with a guitarist on other songs. It's magical!!!
A Zoom hn1 is a tiny powerhouse with stereo mics and about the size of a candy bar. Gain knob right up. Front. Ive recorded several concerts and none of it peaked or washed out. For about $100 its great
16 year old Angelina just kicking “A” with her opening number!!! Thank you for finally watching these fan made videos. Go back to 12 year old AJ singing It’s A Man’s World live with full Military band and at 11 with a small combo singing Etta James Just Want to Make Love to You. So many mind blowing songs with every cell phone recording!
7 месяцев назад+9
AT LAST, you are back to some of these recordings. AJ is fantastic live. Now please, you can't skip "It's a man's world" any longer (the live one with Forsvarets Stabsmusikkorps - Oslo - 16.06.2018). One of the few where AJ goes all in belting. I usually say she is a master of "less is more". But here, she shows that she is a master of "more is more" also. At 12 years of age!!
So this opened a jazz concert. When I first heard this I was what???? I have listened every day for 8 years ...I have not heard her do that before. Thats Angelina for you. The most predictably unpredictably brilliant artist. Its addictive. That feeling you are at the top of the piste about to launche yourself off. Anticipation excitement.
This is a masterpiece by her! I love when she sings bluesy/jazzy way! And I was there!!! Can’t say enough, she absolutely amazing live!!!! Thank you for a wonderful reaction!👌💫💎❤️
Thanks Boudy for another AJ Monday. This jazz band playing with Angelina has been playing with her since she was around 10-11 years old....they know her quite well and she knows all of them quite well and they always make great music together. You can say that Angelina re-imagined this Labyrinth song in a majestic way. Cheers Boudy...loved the reaction and commentary as always. 🥰🥰 Would like to leave a suggested video to react to. You already did "A Song for A" (Nico Cartosio) which showed another side of Angelina's vocal talents. I would like you to view another one, very few views, but a absolute Gem. This would be Angelina in studio rehearsing or recording the song "La Boheme", a French song made famous by Charles Aznavour. Angelina is singing these very complicated lyrics in English, reading them as she sings, for her Album "It's Magic" (2018). She will be 11 in this video. It is a fan made from Rusty Shackleford's Channel and has the lyrics as well. She is recording the song live in studio(the video shows her as well) with a French or Paris background.: ruclips.net/video/ySzuq0jr_Aw/видео.html. This is just another side of Angelina Boudy, hope you find the time. Enjoy.
Every thousand years or so someone comes along that is not made from the same stuff that the rest of us are made from, such is AJ. A thousand years from now, they will be talking about her and her music.....we are blessed to be living in this time with her.
Hi Boudy. I don't imagine what Chris must have felt, I know exactly what he felt,same as me, 'cause we were both front row, shoulder to shoulder, recording on our phones. I must say that his smart phone was much smarter than mine. Highly professional. Did I eased your mind? 1/100% of the real sound you said. Can't say. All I can say is that we all heard the 100 and 1% of Angelina's craft. The 1 plus being the Soul,the Emotions, the Love she puts in every thing she does, in and out of singing. Just for the record. Me, Chris and a number of Angels from all over the land gathered together before the show and met Alan who made a video called The Kongsberg interviews. I'm in it.(Brag brag brag😊.) After the concert we all gathered together again in the basement room of a big club( can't remember the name. Ask Alan, he surely knows), reserved just for us, and had a Ball. I'm an Elder and I have no qualms in saying: The Day of my Life.❤️👍👏👋
Angelina likes to open with something to wake up the audience! On this occasion Svein Erik, the guitarist, was feeling rather bold, trying to match the pitch and intensity that Angelina was giving. I was at the following concert in Kurbadhagen, Sandefjord. The guitar felt a little more subdued, perhaps Angelina a little more assertive! There is nothing to compare with an open air concert, on a warm summer's day!
Chris Stapleton and Justin Timberlake jammed to Tennessee Whiskey on an awards show a few years ago. Kaleidoscope RMX did a mashup of Chris singing Tennessee Whiskey and Angelina singing I’d rather go blind. Now just imagine the three of them on stage jamming and improvising for about 10 minutes singing these two songs. Check out both videos and see what you think. I believe Chris and Justin were at the CMA awards 5 years ago, they were unbelievable, now throw in Angelina and you have out of this world!
Boudy I was filming from about 30 feet away! Opening number, we had never heard it before, and she hits us with those vocals. I have a longer version up that includes the instrumental jamming before she came out. The whole concert was incredible and I was amazed at how rich her voice was live; even the best recordings don’t do it justice. Be sure to check out her slowed down version of “Million Miles,” which had me and many others in tears.

NRK tv was there for two songs so we have great audio of those..)
B A F - thanks for your input - always nice to read. I'm trying to get to Vegas - should I arrive, I'll find you! Jonathan Parson NZ :)
@@mangatitiful im going too !!
@BigAngieFan808 - I was at the Portsmouth concert, unfortunately I can’t make Vegas. Enjoy and grab more great footage!
Boudy , puweety PLEASE!! 😊🙏🏽
Her jamming with the ‘Spell’ band, covering Jay Hawkins’ “Portrait of a Man (child).”.
Well worth listening to the original version first, with JH. It’s a beautiful song, with lyrics that you can relate to - especially you.
Angelina talks to the band members during the song and they just nod encouragement and continue playing.
You do not want to miss this one and you find it on her list.
Dear Chris, I am Happy you are in Vegas too See Angelina live again. Greetings from Frankfurt. 👣🍀✨☮️
Another great reaction, thanks. A song that you might consider is "If You Go Away" Angelina was about 10 years old when she sang it. For me it is one of the only times when emotionally she sounds like a child as if she were singing to her father who was away from home for his job . Rusty Shackleford did a painting vudeo for it which is really nice.
Boudy, you are a delight to watch. Angelina, you are a delight to watch and listen to. Fabulous.
Thanks for the reaction to our angel Angelina...she is simply the best...👍👏
Always looking forward to "Angelina Mondays." Be blessed!
Arab Man. All of that concert was on Tablets. Each musician had a table with the songs all programed into them. Like music sheets
Her original ( Million Miles) tore everyone up. She did something that ( moved everyone inner self.
It's so lovely to look forward to Mondays! Thank you SO much 🙏 SO glad you found this song - it's awesome & so is your reaction.
Thank you Boudy, every reaction of yours to Angelina is a wonderful moment to listen to you. I was at this fantastic concert in 2022 and this song with which she opened the concert stunned us all, no one imagined that she would choose these tones and this song, it was absolutely exciting it was absolutely emotional and her ability to overcome the effects of the digital tuner with her falsetto is fantastic. There were many angels at the concert, including Chris and Alan, who you know.💛🧡❤
One of my top five all-time favorite performances by Angelina.
Love this one so much coming from her. She makes it really jazzy. Love it!! She can make anything sound great!!
I love your reaction because I love this performance and song soooo much! ❤🎉🎉
Hi Boudy, I was there too. It was her Norway concert in July 2022. This was her opening number. She just breeze out on stage and hit us with this. No one knew what was going on.

You may have to go to *TWO* reactions per week (🙏 please🤞)
Yes please! 2 AJ reactions should be much appreciated!!❤
I had the pleassure to be there and listen to this from 45 feet away. It was mesmerising. An experience for life.
That all explains why I keep hearing that no matter how good you think she sounds, if you haven't heard her live you haven't heard anything - it is just SO much better... I have heard that many times.
Great reaction. This was a complete surprise to the people in the audience. She opened her show with this song and no one knew it was coming. If you get a chance, there are about 17 other songs from this concert that are well worth watching and reacting to.
Well it’s simple really..she’s a vocal and musical genius.
Live on stage in the 3 concerts she did that summer the music is unreal it's so good I've listened in it hundreds of times, I just never get tired of it
Fantastic! I would love to see your reaction to Angelinas cover of Dusk till Dawn.
Thank you for your reviews. I really appreciate all the information you give on the how and why things are done in the music industry. Since I am not a musician, it really helps me to truly appreciate what I am hearing. 😀
First song in a concert; blew everybody's mind!! 😎
Crazy, freaky good!
I could listen to that call and response with the guitar all day, everyday!
Free flowing jazz at its best ! This was I'm sure quite unexpected for audience to witness at this concert. Most would probably expect Angelina to come on and do one of her original songs or covers, but this is the first time I think she's ever performed this song and it's amazing what she did in the composition to make it so jazzy and so wonderful.

From Mount AJ - the mountain no one else can climb !!!
As usual Angelina improves a song , she just has the natural innate talent and ability to take song to new heights. She is always a musical adventure to unknown regions. Thanks Arab man you made this even more special by your comments, Saludes!!!
Here Angelina, if ever there was a need, demonstrates her incredible ability to vocally transcribe a very particular song like this, needless to say that the result is simply stupendous! Thanks for the more than fair reaction, good life and music

"What is Life" first sung at age 11. We don't know how old she was when she wrote each song. Age presented is her age when she first sang it.

"Million Miles" age 14 we know she wrote this one in the days after her maternal grandfather passed in 2019 when she was 13
"7th Heaven" age 15
"Love Don't Let Me Go" age 17
"Now I'm the Fool" age 17
"Fire and Rain" age 17
"It's All My Fault" age 17
"Good in Goodbyes" age 17
"Diamond" age 17
"Our Time" age 17
Should include songs for which she was the first to sing
"I'm Still Holding Out for You" age 10 .... considered one of her best vocal performances by many
"Song for A" age 12
"Above the Water" a EDM song released near her 14th birthday
"We're the Best" sung with RedOne at the FIFA Awards February 27, 2023
Angelina wrote new lyrics for two famous songs by Amy Winehouse, "Back to Black" and "Rehab" since it was inappropriate for a preteen to sing the original lyrics. For "Back to Black" Angelina wrote the new lyrics in the 24 hours prior to the recording, then needed just two takes.
For this one, Angelina also changed the lyrjcs a little bit.
Haha, welcome to Angelina, the snippets are probably voice #312.
My thoughts exactly, I just need hours of them jammin on this!
Having viewed Angelina’s live performances from when she 7 on RUclips, I decided to fly from New York to Norway to see and hear for myself. I had to determine if the sound was enhanced; I.e., post produced. Took my wife as a witness. Then, I met Big Angie Fan, Chris Walker, and was interviewed by the music historian, Alan Piper. Seeing them together was pretty amazing. “Mount Everest” was Angelina’s opening song 🎶. She came on stage, kicked off her slippers, and blew us away. Yup… no enhancing, just amazing.

I am waiting for her rendition of “Girl from Ipanema” and “Midnight at the Oasis. Salam!
I would have commented that you listened to the original song so you can appreciate more what Angelina did here...and im glad you did. 😉
I always look forward to Angelina Mondays, luv it ❤ That was her opening song and you're right it was a jazz improv. Que Viva la princesa descalsa ❤
Another awesome reaction Boudy! This was her own concert in Kongsberg, and another in Kurbadhagen a few days later. From what I have heard from everyone who was lucky enough to attend, both concerts were mind blowingly good! Her performance of "Million Miles" at the Kurbadhagen concert on July 10th will literally knock you off your chair! See you again next Monday.
Hi Boudy - was at the concert a few days later on the 10th where AJ opened with this. Before the show she did a 20 minute sound check, casually dressed in leather jacket and jeans. It was like a mini concert - group of us were watching and she stopped and waved. She did parts of songs, slightly different each time, but did not do this in the sound check. So it was a great opener to the concert. The sound was awesome - I was actually 10 feet from her, but still sounded great.
Hi, Steve. I imagine it was an incredible experience to watch her in this show and the pleasant surprise that this song caused in you. Can you tell us what model your cell phone is and if you used an attached microphone and something to keep the camera stable?
Peace from Brazil,
Pedro.
Don't feel like the 'Lone Ranger' about having never heard this from her. The real amazing thing is she opened with this song. Angelina put out a couple of TikTok's with some of these notes that led me to believe she was going to be introducing them into her concert menu. I, however, never thought she would break it out like this. This was amazing and her little back and forth with her guitarist was sublime.
To let you know Rusty is the Godfather of getting Angelina out to the world. He has a chronological list of Angelina's progress through the first few years of her performing. He also wrote a biography of her early years. All of us owe Rusty a huge thank you for all the hours he put in to get the word out.
I don't know if you have seen and heard Angelina's latest rendition of 'Unchained Melody'? It is ......sorry haven't got the words yet to fully express the emotional range it put me through. Let's just say at the end I was laughing and crying at the same time. Here's the link.

Angel.ina for life😇🙏❤️
I was there two rows behind Cris filming and the sound of her was divine, best concert ever and her own "Million Miles" version here gave me instant tears. Best concert ever! I hope to get a chance more to hear her live again. Phenomenal reaction as always. Love from Norwegian subscriber.
hafe the same tone of the guitar? immense Angelina!! thanks Arab man from 🇦🇷
She change the lyrics a little bit, she is amazing 🥺❤
A- Man the first time I heard it I thought hey, duet with guitar.! One of my fav's.!
The stupidest thing the governments in Europe came up with was those "copyright" rules. It put a lot of "content creators" out of business. As the content creators said (and I agreed with them), "We are not making any money off of these videos. It gets the artist out there and known by the people." Personally, I heard artists I have never heard before. In conclusion, it is smart of Angelina to reverse that stupid ruling and sanction it to be put out there. Good for her.
Angelina has not reversed any rulings and specifically requested no video taping from cameras or phone at her New Hampshire performance. Any recordings from there were without her consent.
You liked the guitar and the music in this song, listen next time to "Angelina jordan - It's a Man's World,Live (audio) From Kongsberg jazz Festival 2018" 🦶🦶👑🗣🎙🎷+ 🎸
I know it's not fair, but we mclove it anyway!
AJ quality is sooo goood that even with fanfilmed recordings its still worth listening to.
Just think you have a whole concert Chris recorded. Thanks again Chris!
When I first heard that interplay with the guitar, it immediately reminded me of the 1972 movie “Deliverance” starring Burt Reynolds. There’s a famous scene in the backwoods of Georgia of two banjo players. So I have named this short interaction “Dueling Angelinas”. In the movie it’s called called “Dueling Banjos”. Reynolds was well known before Deliverance but the movie made him a star.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
You looked as though you were having as much fun as Angelina on this one. Once again delving into the original and your take on it just genius. Cheers from Australia 🦘🇦🇺
Te faltan muchas canciones de Angelina por escuchar. Me gusta mucho tus reacciones.
Sie ist besonders 👍👍👍💕💞💕💞💕💞
Check out love on the brain from this concert it is also great , rusty provides it .thumbs up 👍
😇😇😇🥰🥰🥰
Amazing ❤
This was a set of 18 songs with the Jazz band Angelina has performed for years. So, this was a hard act for another band to live up to in September 2023.
Go and check out Mattias Axelsson recording of her show in Kurbadhagen, Norway-22. Fantastic show!❤️
Happy Monday, Boudy!
Thanks for going to her (fan captured) life performances!!
YES, PLEASE!! Because NOW you entering ANGELINA -OVERDRIVE-MODE!
You rightfully analyzed her productions beyond superb! But LIFE...... !!!!
I'm looking forward!
And 2 AJ per week i also would celebrate. But i guess you can't/won't do that. Just saying.
believe me rusty has got everything
Thats one of the best songs from angelina, so groovy and jazzy, i cant believe, i have listen 100th times, love it....i cant wait to see angelina live on stage 👑♥️🌹💫 thank you for your great reaction 😊❤
Soul sister!
This is why "She is" or "Next level event" was a good discription, but "World changer" fits, but only if true! We either end soon or become great. I believe great!
🎉
Diese Musiker die hier mit Angelina auf der Bühne sind, kennen Angelina schon sehe sehr lange. Es ist wie eine Familie. Schau dir mal die Rehasals an mit dieser Band. Dir wird es sehr gefallen. Rusty hat alle Videos auf seinem Chanel 202 Videos 👣👣👣
non ho più parole verso questo unico talento oggi nel mondo. Ciao Arab.
Suggestion:
Do AJ : I'd rather go blind. She's good.
Then.
Do Karise Eden : I'd rather go blind. She's on another level.
I'm Norwegian, and I love a lot of Norwegian artists (Angelina, Aurora, Wardruna, Susanne Sundfør, Sivert Høyem & Madrugada, Ane Brun, and so on) because QUALITY, but Karise Eden (from Australia) is something else entirely ❤
You should take the leap and give her a listen 🎶 🎙
We need a Angelina Jordan and Haley Reinhart duet!
Boudy you've done it again.🙂 I am also amazed by AJ's performance and enamored with its uniqueness as part of her portfolio. Your mention of the
guitarist's riff brought to mind his riff in their performance of "7th Heaven" (ruclips.net/video/_Bo88l1aFDI/видео.htmlsi=TDqYqUKLfyDg2Pdl). Falling down the RH
last night I ran across, what is probably my "new favorite" AJ video, "Crazy" (ruclips.net/video/RI9s_Qp7X_g/видео.htmlsi=KJ02skozHsIV22Y8). Put on RUclips
in 2020, I'm guessing that it was recorded in Norway (maybe 2018?). I recognized the same guitarist, upright bass player and pianist from the 2022
Kongsberg concert.
👍👍😍😍👍👍
🎉🎉🎉
😀👍🔥
Chris will tell you everything -- but Boudy, this was a fabulous concert. Check out AJ's slowed-down rendition of her original, "Million Miles", also on Rusty's channel: ruclips.net/video/x9dVG5Pgq9o/видео.html. And bring something to cry in to . . . . BTW, AJ held two concerts in Norway when she was 16. They are both spectacular. You have a lot to react to from these concerts.
Three 🎉1th, 7th and finally 10th where I was in the audience. Angelina is the best life performer. If you can go to Vegas, do it. It's all worth ❤
Please I rather go blind
It's not sanctioned Boudy. Not at all. She hasn't said a thing. And when she does tell us not to use footage or bring camera's, or release footage... We don't listen. We put it out anyway. But just so you know, only her christmas concert and most recent Portsmouth concert are against her wishes. I imagine she does know any new fans from it is a good thing. But don't listen to angels. She said no twice, they didn't listen and excuse themselves by saying she must approve if she didn't take it all down 😂. Bunch of rude overgrown children honestly, it's incredibly weak. But only in that one sense, my only beef around here ever. Angels are terribly selfish and disrespectful in that way. They did wait a little bit, for the two concerts they went against her wishes. I'll give us that. Going forward, if you care about this stuff, assume exclusive content on future concerts, and stay away from those two concerts previous. Portsmouth Sept. 2023, online Xmas concert Dec. 2021. The rest seem fair game, like here. ❤❤ Sorry. But it's true. We are 100% full of shit and rationalizing our wants over her wishes.
I think Haley Reinhart is sanctioned also, and PMJ.
I haven't even watched this yet..but I'm so excited! I love this performance! Ok, now I've watched it 😊😊😊..you never disappoint! Chris taped, Rusty edit! I'm seeing her in Vegas! Happy Monday❤
Seems like she is having fun with this. The musicians live for a moment like this.
I loved that you pulled up the original!!! Makes her cover SO much more powerful!!!
Angelina is amazing….I do hope to see her live one day !!!
Angelina Jordan blew everyone away with her surprise. Angelina has been singing with this band for years. The call and response is superb. Have you heard the original? Labrinth did his original in a darker way.. Thanks, Boudy.
We all know how talented AJ is. But she is also such a sweet and caring young woman and I hope stardom and its associated risks does not change her.
Boudy, I think you are right, they only minimally rehearsed this & they were jammin'. This is definitely one of the songs I hope she records professionally "Live in Studio" with Republic Records. And, I hope she does more of those falsetto duels with a guitarist on other songs. It's magical!!!
A Zoom hn1 is a tiny powerhouse with stereo mics and about the size of a candy bar. Gain knob right up. Front. Ive recorded several concerts and none of it peaked or washed out. For about $100 its great
She's worked with that band many times, thus how well they meshed.
16 year old Angelina just kicking “A” with her opening number!!!
Thank you for finally watching these fan made videos. Go back to 12 year old AJ singing It’s A Man’s World live with full Military band and at 11 with a small combo singing Etta James Just Want to Make Love to You. So many mind blowing songs with every cell phone recording!
AT LAST, you are back to some of these recordings. AJ is fantastic live.
Now please, you can't skip "It's a man's world" any longer (the live one with Forsvarets Stabsmusikkorps - Oslo - 16.06.2018). One of the few where AJ goes all in belting. I usually say she is a master of "less is more". But here, she shows that she is a master of "more is more" also. At 12 years of age!!
So this opened a jazz concert. When I first heard this I was what???? I have listened every day for 8 years ...I have not heard her do that before. Thats Angelina for you. The most predictably unpredictably brilliant artist. Its addictive. That feeling you are at the top of the piste about to launche yourself off. Anticipation excitement.
This is a masterpiece by her! I love when she sings bluesy/jazzy way! And I was there!!! Can’t say enough, she absolutely amazing live!!!! Thank you for a wonderful reaction!👌💫💎❤️
Thanks Boudy for another AJ Monday. This jazz band playing with Angelina has been playing with her since she was around 10-11 years old....they know her quite well and she knows all of them quite well and they always make great music together. You can say that Angelina re-imagined this Labyrinth song in a majestic way. Cheers Boudy...loved the reaction and commentary as always. 🥰🥰 Would like to leave a suggested video to react to. You already did "A Song for A" (Nico Cartosio) which showed another side of Angelina's vocal talents. I would like you to view another one, very few views, but a absolute Gem. This would be Angelina in studio rehearsing or recording the song "La Boheme", a French song made famous by Charles Aznavour. Angelina is singing these very complicated lyrics in English, reading them as she sings, for her Album "It's Magic" (2018). She will be 11 in this video. It is a fan made from Rusty Shackleford's Channel and has the lyrics as well. She is recording the song live in studio(the video shows her as well) with a French or Paris background.: ruclips.net/video/ySzuq0jr_Aw/видео.html. This is just another side of Angelina Boudy, hope you find the time. Enjoy.
Angelina Is Amazing ❤
Every thousand years or so someone comes along that is not made from the same stuff that the rest of us are made from, such is AJ. A thousand years from now, they will be talking about her and her music.....we are blessed to be living in this time with her.
Angelina is a genius
It's the open song of the show !
Angelina litterally kicks of off her slippers and sings this for her opening song. 🍁
Hi Boudy. I don't imagine what Chris must have felt, I know exactly what he felt,same as me, 'cause we were both front row, shoulder to shoulder, recording on our phones. I must say that his smart phone was much smarter than mine. Highly professional. Did I eased your mind? 1/100% of the real sound you said. Can't say. All I can say is that we all heard the 100 and 1% of Angelina's craft. The 1 plus being the Soul,the Emotions, the Love she puts in every thing she does, in and out of singing. Just for the record. Me, Chris and a number of Angels from all over the land gathered together before the show and met Alan who made a video called The Kongsberg interviews. I'm in it.(Brag brag brag😊.) After the concert we all gathered together again in the basement room of a big club( can't remember the name. Ask Alan, he surely knows), reserved just for us, and had a Ball. I'm an Elder and I have no qualms in saying: The Day of my Life.❤️👍👏👋
Its really time to listen to "Id rather go blind"!
Great reaction as usual! God Bless and Keep you in His Love!! Angelina is a gift to the world!! ✨🇨🇦✨❤️
Boudy, she is @ her best Live!!!! thanks,df
Angelina likes to open with something to wake up the audience! On this occasion Svein Erik, the guitarist, was feeling rather bold, trying to match the pitch and intensity that Angelina was giving. I was at the following concert in Kurbadhagen, Sandefjord. The guitar felt a little more subdued, perhaps Angelina a little more assertive! There is nothing to compare with an open air concert, on a warm summer's day!
This is one of my most favorite also her performance on Germany's top model "Love on the brain."
Chris Stapleton and Justin Timberlake jammed to Tennessee Whiskey on an awards show a few years ago. Kaleidoscope RMX did a mashup of Chris singing Tennessee Whiskey and Angelina singing I’d rather go blind. Now just imagine the three of them on stage jamming and improvising for about 10 minutes singing these two songs. Check out both videos and see what you think. I believe Chris and Justin were at the CMA awards 5 years ago, they were unbelievable, now throw in Angelina and you have out of this world!
Oh man! I loved your reaction to this one!
She should do some (re)cover on Blues.
She is a story teller so it would be natural.
