Have you watched My Funny Valentine yet? It is especially interesting to watch her 10-year-old version and compare it to her recent 16-year-old version. Both of them are uniquely “Angelina”! Really enjoyed your analysis of this super popular version by Angelina. Did you know her real last name is “Astar”? How prophetic is that?
SHE IS NINE YEARS OLD HERE. Four years before Bohemian Rhapsody. 9 years old! I'm so glad you have joined us in this amazing journey with this extraordinary young lady. I am very much enjoying your reactions and look forward to more.
So many favorites, and this is another. We already have a treasure trove of her music in these younger years. I'm not sure I can even imagine how spectacular she will be as she becomes an adult, but am certain she will always be the beautiful person she has been.
It’s nice to see a reaction, with props for Joss Stone, who is incredible. Angelina is other worldly, and will go down as one of the greats of all time. Just subscribed. Best wishes
I won't repeat everyone below, but I agree that this is an amazing form of reaction. I really appreciate you editing in the singers you think of when you hear Angelina. I know it's a lot of work. Your knowledge and insights distinguish you among reactors, in general, although some have done some very technical analyses. I really enjoyed it. My favorite "young" performance of Angelina's is her version of Summertime, for the finals of Norway's Got Talent. I think you'd see a lot of development from "Gloomy Sunday", her audition, to Summertime. She started the competition at 7 years old, and finished at age 8.
Amen to all of this - your reactions are DEFINITELY among the very most interesting, insightful, and enjoyable! I also agree about her performance of "Summertime" on the "Norway's Got Talent" show, along with "What a Difference a Day Makes" at an outdoor concert at the same age - those show growth and are a "don't-miss" performances! They showcase her Jazz roots, and her growth as a vocalist and artist - at Age 8! I hope you'll review those performances!
She is the boss it was said that her singing with Republic Records was with condition that this 15 year old superstar has complete control of everything Angelina Jordan. She is that good at her gift form God. All arrangements of covers are her arrangements
I've seen many reactions to this black and white video but your breakdown of this performance is by far the best one. The references to other artists and genres in order to highlight a tone or a technique is also quite insightful. And what I loved most about this video, you didn't think of this cover as one of those funny viral hits with a cute child in it, but you took this performance by 9 year old Angelina very seriously and took her for a true artist despite her age! Your in-depth analysis is appreciated by many Angelina fans who believe in her talent, capabilities and potential, especially coming from a vocal coach. You can count me as a new subscriber.
Thank you for your kind words and for subscribing! I agree, to me she definitely is an artist that is to be taken very seriously. I think we'll hear many great things of her in the future!
Thank you for one of the very best analysis of this performance by any Reactor. As you noted, she was only 9 years old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, the American singer/songwriter. He wrote and performed it in 1956 and Angelina based her performance on the original, although she did make some subtle alterations to both lyrics and melody. As you continue your journey of discovering Angelina, you will come to realise that she does her own arrangements of most of the cover songs she sings. The differences may not be immediately discernible on first listening to them, but they are there. There may be a subtle change in tempo or tone, or more inflexion on some words, or a phrase may differ in pitch from the original. The amount of control that Angelina has over her voice cannot be measured. She never hurries a song. She sings in such a way that the emotions in the lyrics are felt by the listener. In this video, did you notice:Angelina finishing some notes and handing them to the music director, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music. Then a brief glimpse of Mery Zamani, a well known and respected Iranian artist, who is also Angelina's maternal grandmother and the person who encouraged Angelina in her love of music, especially jazz. And then there is a shot of Angelina holding a candle, upon which was an image of Screamin' Jay Hawkins. Lastly, did you notice how the "performing" Angelina, singing at a level of maturity far beyond her years, suddenly became a 9-year-old child almost instantaneously once she finished singing. From the time I first heard Angelina, way back at her first audition on Norway's Got Talent, she has amazed me.
Great, thanks! She and Jess took their cues from the original, Screaming Jay Hawkins... Barefoot to call attention to needs of children around the world. Met a girl on the street with no shoes, weighing people for money...AJ gave the girl her shoes and vowed to never wear shoes when performing until all children have shoes. Has raised and donated millions to charity & environmental causes. Wrote a book, "Between Two Hearts" about meeting the girl.
And that’s the reason for her being barefoot not because some other artist did so. Thank you for bringing that point out. She has all the elements that were in the original as written. Love it. 🌸
I'm thinking that I've just seen a reactor who taught me a lot about the different parts of this outstanding performance by a tiny nine year old Norwegian girl. Angelina put a spell on me the first time that I experienced this historically important Jazz interpretation. And you Sir, got a new subscriber right now.
This is really what I am looking for in a reaction video - not just "oh boy, that was good!" but explanations of why it was good, what worked (and what maybe didn't). I shall definitely be watching more of your Angelina reactions. May I recommend Every Time We Say Goodbye and Song For A - both a complete contrast to 'Spell'.
Really great reaction. The best reaction I have seen in a long time. I really like the way you did the comparisons with the other singers to Angelina. Nicely done man. I enjoyed it. Thank you.
Awesome reaction and analysis, Andreas!! I had been waiting for your return after your reaction to Angelina singing "Bohemian Rhapsody". I watched that reaction a few times as there was much to digest just as with this one. I highly recommend all angels (fans) to watch that first reaction. I greatly look forward to your next reaction to my all time favorite musical artist. My recommendation for your next reaction would be Angelina's audition for Norway's Got Talent covering Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday". Angelina has said if it wasn't for her unconditional love for Billie's music, there would not be the Angelina we know today.
Very didactic, one of the best I've seen. I think Joss and Angelina had the same influence on this song. If you follow Angelina's journey, you will find multiple influences, enormous ability to make each note important, through an arsenal of knowledge, intuition and intention!! She is very smart in every way. Your knowledge and commitment to these reactions are very important to fans.
Thank you Andreas for your very informative analysis of this performance by Angelina Jordan. I really enjoyed it. Angelina performed this song publicly several times after this performance, however probably on the advice of her vocal coach she toned it down in order not to damage her still developing vocal cords. Here is a link to her performance of this song 2 years later on the German TV show “Little Big Stars” hosted by Thomas Gottchalk. ruclips.net/video/qrZLjJ3VBZg/видео.html . I would love to hear your your comparison of the two performances. Thank you again and keep up the good work.
Wonderful reaction Andreas. Great comments. This song here by a 9 year old child launched a lot of us Angel fans down the Angelina rabbit hole. Would love to see more reactions and comments from you for the Angel child prodigy/music genius.
i have listen to so many singers though out my life and most are really good but i have to say this young girl has captured my heart and ears so that for ever more they are hers :)
Brilliant reaction, really loved your professional approach to such an amazing artist. There are so many other brilliant tracks , I would say " Still holding out for you " or I would rather go blind " would warrant your unique breakdown.
Since I didn't see the usual opening for this you may have missed her holding up a picture of Scream'n Jay Hawkins and her scribbling notes to the musical director. She likely wrote the score for this. She plays several instruments piano is just one. Besides several languages. I took her Proformance as a Homage to Jazz and in particular Scream'n Jay. And excellent comparisons of her techniques with other artists. IMO this, IS, one of the greatest if not the greatest singing and interpretative recordings of this Classic. It never fails to chill my old bones.
Thanks for making me aware of this. I just watched the beginning of the video again and there was a candle with his picture on it. I'm happy you liked the video!
She’s amazing isn’t she her first love is Jazz so she’s a big fan of everyone you mentioned I would love to hear her try opera because after all she can sing everything else I just adore Angelina I don’t think there’s anyone out there that comes even close to the talent Angelina has she can sing anything she’s our beautiful Angel 👼 sent to us from up above for us all to enjoy Love 💕 from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴👼👼👸🏻👸🏻💕👏👏👏🥰👋
WOW! THANK YOU ANDREAS. I Absolutely LOVED your Reaction and the Presentation of your video. I Thoroughly enjoyed your Professional Analyses. I Appreciated the way that You Critique ..Explained.. Then Captured the Specifics of Angelina's( Vocal gymnastic Abilities) At the Exact Point of that Delively. Also Thank You for the Well Edited Additional information of the similarities of The Many Greats alongside each section of your breakdown of her performance. I have watched Many Vocal Coach Reactions and learning lots as I go along. But Your Professional Analyses was far more Insightful & Inspirational. ON.POINT ANDREAS. THANK YOU. If i could make one request I would love you to Analyses her very first song she composed herself called( What is life?) I look forward to more reactions from you. Excellent work WELL DONE.
Excellent reaction/analysis, especially the way you incorporated other artists. Already subscribed for your 1st reaction to AJ & I look forward to the next one.
This is by far the best and most insightful reaction I've seen on this song and I've seem most of them. Very impressive knowledge of other singers that you brought up and now I want to investigate. Subscribed...Thanks so much.
Angelina's grandmother and guardian angel/videographer (and artists in her own right) is from Iran. One can sometimes hear a "zest" of that influence in her vocals and it is really cool to hear it in these classics.
This is one of the better reactions and critiques of Angelina Jordan I’ve seen, you are very observant and did a good job, however I disagree with you on one point. When you said she went back to her little girl voice, I don’t think she went totally back to her little girl voice and I think she was right where she wanted to be with her sound, but that’s just my opinion, anyway good job I enjoyed it.👍 I think I will subscribe to your channel.
Thanks, would love to have you as a subscriber. The "little girl voice" was just an analogy I used to point out that she stopped making the adjustment that caused her voice to darken (lower larynx, raised soft palate) and went back to what her voice without that would sound like. It was still a great sound, just not what we heard for the biggest part of the rest of the song.
Absolutely awesome reaction\analysis 😁 Love how you picked up on all the nuances in this performance, and your edits are just brilliant! Thank you so much for making and sharing this 💖
Really enjoyed your reaction. You pointed out some things I've never heard from any other analysis of this song. Having no musical training myself, I truly appreciate learning why I love the artists I do. Thank you.
Excellent analysis! Love this video! I really appreciate that you knew the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version too because a lot of people including vocal coaches had no idea about it during their reactions!
She's sung covers of more than 80 different wonderful singers. I doubt anyone could even venture an educated guess of how many she has listened to. Each time she listens to someone, she'll borrow a little piece of them that she likes. The result is incredible versatility. She can sing almost any genre or style and make it unique to her.
Wow. This is clearly one of the best reactions / analyses of “I Put a Spell on You” (by Angelina Jordan) ever. I love how you interspersed your comments with exemplary video clips to explain your comments. You won’t be surprised to find out that Angelina passionately immersed herself with the classic tunes of most of the “greats” that you mentioned... Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong and others starting at the age of three! I’ve subscribed to your channel and look forward to future reactions to Angelina. One of my favorites is “7th Heaven”, an original, upbeat jazz tune performed by Angelina earlier this year (2021). It will give you a great example of the direction many of us hope Angelina steers her career. Make sure you react to the live studio version of what is destined to become a new classic in the jazz genre. ❤️
How fortuitous Andreas! Angelina just released a music video of “7th Heaven”! They’ both good. Like her other music videos (as opposed to her live studio versions), there is significant symbolism in the story it tells. I like the (slightly different) music in the live studio versions however. 😬😉👍
Your reactions are the most informed I have heard yet. I have listened to more than 50 Angelina reactions, and yours are nearly as impressive as Angelina is ;) I recommend you react to her version of Etta James' "I'd Rather Go Blind".
like you, i had picked up on all of the R&B and even Southern R&B qualities that Angelina show-cases in this song. but there was always an element that i heard that i could not explain. her singing voice, at times, has an Arabian feel to it. then i discovered that her maternal grandmother is a famous Iranian singer who has coached Angelina since infancy. that finally answered all my remaining questions. you did an excellent job, sir. well done.
This was a cleaned up version of Screamin Jay Hawkins 1960's at the beginning of the video AJ actually displays a picture of SJH with bones through his.nose, it was a hommage !!!
For me the main thing that sets your reactions above all the rest are your examples with each comment. Just superb. I had never really realized just how much she was influenced by Billie Holiday until you gave those examples.
Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤️💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤️💙 If there was ever a reason to believe in reincarnation, Angelina Jordan is it ❤️💙 Loved your reaction!!! ❤️💙 ***RIP SCREAMIN JAY HAWKINS***
Angelina understands that her voice is the catalyst to convey emotion not just words and music is emotion set to rythem telling a tale. I feel she has now nearly mastered the skill and is today the best vocalist on any stage today. Girl knows her craft and executes wonderfully.
Thanks for taking the time to intercut other singers. I've watched hundreds of reactions to Angelina, and the comparisons add so much! As you point out all artists borrow, so it's great to hear who she borrowed from.
One of the best breakdown and explanations I've watched, Brilliant reaction! You're in for a treat, for she will have you moving like a Yo Y o, LOL! Check out her Norway's Got Talent, where her start to become a Legend started and God Bless!
Loved the comparisons to other singers performances, with the video snippets. Just makes us again, realize how truly talented Angelina was at such a young age. I've listed to this over a hundred times now and I still find little thigs she does musically. I was a dozen times in when I realized during the melisma you talked about, her vibrato when she sings "I don't care", starts slower, than transitions to a faster vibrato at the end of the word . Don't know if it was a conscious decision, have not heard it replicated on any other recordings of this song.
Thank you, I'm happy you liked the video. Yes, you can find all kinds of little details in performances of great singers that take some time to discover. A change in vibrato speed is mostly caused by a change of the airflow rate (amount of air per second that makes it through the vocal folds as you sing). Sometimes that is a conscious choice, but many times it is the consequence of a certain vocal tract adjustment that is done in order to get a certain sound quality.
![KSI - Thick Of It (feat. Trippie Redd) [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/At8v_Yc044Y/mqdefault.jpg)
She leads the whole thing. They call her "The Boss"!
ANGELINA'S VOICE IS HIGH 5D VIBRATIONAL , SHE IS AWAKENING PEOPLE.
The show must go on Angelina Jordan
The boss at work. Thatś how the other musicians call her..
Ah, what a suiting nickname :-D
Her musical influences, growing up, WERE Billie Holliday and many of the old jazz greats. Thanks, I believe, to her grandfather.
After this rendition the band called her "the boss". She is amazing
Ah, that's a nice nickname for her :-)
Love your reaction!
Waiting for more Angelina!!
Thanks, I'm happy you liked the video! I'll definitely react to more of her performances in the future!
A girl with a thousand voice amazing❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Truly unique!
perhaps this is the best analysis I have ever seen, Thanks...
Thank you very much!
I agree! Meticulously analyzed & researched; concisely and simply explained!
Thanks for a great reaction. AJ is a gift to the world.💖💖💖
Best breakdown of the this song I have heard and I have seen this 100+ times....
Thank you very much!
Have you watched My Funny Valentine yet? It is especially interesting to watch her 10-year-old version and compare it to her recent 16-year-old version. Both of them are uniquely “Angelina”! Really enjoyed your analysis of this super popular version by Angelina. Did you know her real last name is “Astar”? How prophetic is that?
SHE IS NINE YEARS OLD HERE. Four years before Bohemian Rhapsody. 9 years old! I'm so glad you have joined us in this amazing journey with this extraordinary young lady. I am very much enjoying your reactions and look forward to more.
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Angelina is many of the greatest singers of all time rolled into one!
Yes, her style is amazing!
Great reaction and analysis video, by the way. I love how you incorporated so many other great singers into the video alongside Angelina.
On behalf of Angelina Jordan’s army of Angels……I thankyou for showing the link to her original video 🙏
Of course! It's my pleasure!
So many favorites, and this is another. We already have a treasure trove of her music in these younger years. I'm not sure I can even imagine how spectacular she will be as she becomes an adult, but am certain she will always be the beautiful person she has been.
She's amazing and she will do lots of awesome things in music.
One of the only three Vocal coaches, publicly reacting to her, who spotted each of the skills in the last few bars. :)
lol, thanks!
Now, that's what I call a profound analysis! Very well done and I look forward to hear more from you.
Thank you very much for your kind words! I'm happy you liked the video!
It’s nice to see a reaction, with props for Joss Stone, who is incredible. Angelina is other worldly, and will go down as one of the greats of all time. Just subscribed. Best wishes
❤️ your reaction to our barefotted Princes Angelina 👍🙂
Thank you, I'm very happy you liked the video!

Amen to all of this - your reactions are DEFINITELY among the very most interesting, insightful, and enjoyable! I also agree about her performance of "Summertime" on the "Norway's Got Talent" show, along with "What a Difference a Day Makes" at an outdoor concert at the same age - those show growth and are a "don't-miss" performances! They showcase her Jazz roots, and her growth as a vocalist and artist - at Age 8! I hope you'll review those performances!
She is the boss it was said that her singing with Republic Records was with condition that this 15 year old superstar has complete control of everything Angelina Jordan. She is that good at her gift form God.
All arrangements of covers are her arrangements
Yes, she is really incredible!

@@jessiehoolahoopsmcgee thank you so much!
@@andreasgrussl Really appreciate the extra effort you take to do those comparisons. Top tier reaction!
@@thinkingoutloud7851 Thank you very much!
IMO it’s the best and timeless version of I Put A Spell On You, worthy of a Grammy award!
It's an amazing interpretation.
@Andreas: Wonderfully detailed comments accompanying a marvelous edit. Thank you.
Thank you very much! I'm happy you liked the video!
Great reaction, with di sections and commentary thank you I’ve lost count of how many reactions I’ve seen but this is next level
Thank you very much for your kind words! I'm happy you liked the video!
You might enjoy I’m Still Holding Out For You. Excellent reaction. 🤗
Thank you very much! I'm happy you liked the video!
Thank you for one of the very best analysis of this performance by any Reactor.

Wow, thanks for all that background information on her charitable engagement!
And that’s the reason for her being barefoot not because some other artist did so. Thank you for bringing that point out. She has all the elements that were in the original as written. Love it. 🌸
Great reaction but, I have to tell you that her reason to perform barefoot is something more profound than you ever imagine...
I'm thinking that I've just seen a reactor who taught me a lot about the different parts of this outstanding performance by a tiny nine year old Norwegian girl. Angelina put a spell on me the first time that I experienced this historically important Jazz interpretation. And you Sir, got a new subscriber right now.

This was a very well presented reaction. So many insights and accurate observations. Well done, sir, thank you!
Thank you very much!
This is really what I am looking for in a reaction video - not just "oh boy, that was good!" but explanations of why it was good, what worked (and what maybe didn't). I shall definitely be watching more of your Angelina reactions. May I recommend Every Time We Say Goodbye and Song For A - both a complete contrast to 'Spell'.
Thank you very much! I'll put these songs on my list!
Really great reaction. The best reaction I have seen in a long time. I really like the way you did the comparisons with the other singers to Angelina. Nicely done man. I enjoyed it. Thank you.
Thank you very much for your kind words!

Thank you, I'm happy you liked the video. I'll take a look at the German TV performance.
You are correct. Angelina's greatest influence in her very early years was Billie Holiday!
Thanks for confirming!
Her first song on NGT was Gloomy Sunday and sounds just like Billie Holiday!!😎😎😎😎
Wow, I'll have to take a look at that one!
Wonderful reaction Andreas. Great comments. This song here by a 9 year old child launched a lot of us Angel fans down the Angelina rabbit hole. Would love to see more reactions and comments from you for the Angel child prodigy/music genius.
Thanks, I'm happy you liked the video. I'll definitely look into more of her performances.
I really enjoyed the effort and experience you put into this reaction. You are a complete reactor. Thank you so much for creating this reaction.
Thank you very much for your kind words! I'm happy you liked the video!
I Totally agree with you Murry. On Point.
Angelina Jordon is really the only singer on this planet gifted with a thousand voices.
Great art comes from great art.
I really like this quote! Can I borrow it 🙂?
Thank you for your reaction to my living miracle our angel
Angelina ❤️
Looking forward for more reactions from

She is a very special singer!
Great job, great commentary on an incredible artist.
Thanks, I'm happy you liked the video!
He absolutely put a lot of research into this presentation. 🌺
Brilliant reaction, really loved your professional approach to such an amazing artist. There are so many other brilliant tracks , I would say " Still holding out for you " or I would rather go blind " would warrant your unique breakdown.
Thank you very much! I'm happy you liked the video. And thanks for your song suggestions!
Very good explanation I agree! Great reaction and understanding of her vocals.

Thanks for your comments on her leading the band unlike others that overlooked or didn’t mention her leading the band
Please react to her singing “Gloomy Sunday” when she was 7 on Norway’s Got Talent.
She’s amazing isn’t she her first love is Jazz so she’s a big fan of everyone you mentioned I would love to hear her try opera because after all she can sing everything else I just adore Angelina I don’t think there’s anyone out there that comes even close to the talent Angelina has she can sing anything she’s our beautiful Angel 👼 sent to us from up above for us all to enjoy Love 💕 from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴👼👼👸🏻👸🏻💕👏👏👏🥰👋

Thank you very much! I really appreciate your words!
Thanks
You are welcome!
Beautiful reaction to AJ really professional and with great musical culture, channel subscription done.
Thanks for subscribing! I'm happy you liked the video!
Another outstanding analysis. Interesting observation about the Arabic sound. Her grandmother is from Iran.
I loved your analysis very much! Please do more Angelina Jordan! She is the greatest jazz/soul/pop singer of our time!
Thank you very much! I'll look into more of her songs in the future.
Like you informed reactions. Love Angelina.
Thank you very much!

This is by far the best and most insightful reaction I've seen on this song and I've seem most of them. Very impressive knowledge of other singers that you brought up and now I want to investigate. Subscribed...Thanks so much.
Ive see you did a lot of work here ❤ Great reaction ❤ a 9 year old in beastmode 👍❤
Thank you very much!
Angelina's grandmother and guardian angel/videographer (and artists in her own right) is from Iran. One can sometimes hear a "zest" of that influence in her vocals and it is really cool to hear it in these classics.
Thanks for pointing that out. That makes total sense!
Yes I also enjoyed your very knowledgable and detailed analysis. Thank you also for this AJ reaction.
Thank you very much!
This is one of the better reactions and critiques of Angelina Jordan I’ve seen, you are very observant and did a good job, however I disagree with you on one point. When you said she went back to her little girl voice, I don’t think she went totally back to her little girl voice and I think she was right where she wanted to be with her sound, but that’s just my opinion, anyway good job I enjoyed it.👍
I think I will subscribe to your channel.
Thanks, would love to have you as a subscriber. The "little girl voice" was just an analogy I used to point out that she stopped making the adjustment that caused her voice to darken (lower larynx, raised soft palate) and went back to what her voice without that would sound like. It was still a great sound, just not what we heard for the biggest part of the rest of the song.

Great reaction. Thank you. She is something else, isn't she :-)
Thank you very much! Yes, she is a very special singer!
Absolutely awesome reaction\analysis 😁 Love how you picked up on all the nuances in this performance, and your edits are just brilliant! Thank you so much for making and sharing this 💖
Thank you very much for your kind words!
Really enjoyed your reaction. You pointed out some things I've never heard from any other analysis of this song. Having no musical training myself, I truly appreciate learning why I love the artists I do. Thank you.
Thank you, I'm happy you liked the video!
Absolutely " BOSS"
Definitely!
I love your detailed reactions.
Please take a look at her performance of “Feeling Good” (live at the stream).
Thanks, will put that one on my list.
💐 great job for you too ! Thank you
Excellent analysis! Love this video! I really appreciate that you knew the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version too because a lot of people including vocal coaches had no idea about it during their reactions!
Thanks, I'm happy you liked the video!
Best reaction to this I have seen. And I have seen a lot! Definitely subscribing
She's sung covers of more than 80 different wonderful singers. I doubt anyone could even venture an educated guess of how many she has listened to. Each time she listens to someone, she'll borrow a little piece of them that she likes. The result is incredible versatility. She can sing almost any genre or style and make it unique to her.
What I have heard from her so far was pretty amazing!
Wow. This is clearly one of the best reactions / analyses of “I Put a Spell on You” (by Angelina Jordan) ever. I love how you interspersed your comments with exemplary video clips to explain your comments.
You won’t be surprised to find out that Angelina passionately immersed herself with the classic tunes of most of the “greats” that you mentioned... Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong and others starting at the age of three!
I’ve subscribed to your channel and look forward to future reactions to Angelina.
One of my favorites is “7th Heaven”, an original, upbeat jazz tune performed by Angelina earlier this year (2021). It will give you a great example of the direction many of us hope Angelina steers her career.
Make sure you react to the live studio version of what is destined to become a new classic in the jazz genre. ❤️
Thank you very much for your kind words and for subscribing. 7th Heaven is on my list.
How fortuitous Andreas! Angelina just released a music video of “7th Heaven”! They’ both good. Like her other music videos (as opposed to her live studio versions), there is significant symbolism in the story it tells. I like the (slightly different) music in the live studio versions however. 😬😉👍
@@peterhormell1511 I'm trying to do the reaction as soon as possible, but there are some other videos in the pipeline before it.
I understand. I look forward to checking out your opinion of it whenever you get around to it. Thanks! 👍
Thanks for dedicated lasersharp analyze of Angelinas voice& performance almost like a computor tomography x-Ray (all layers
Revealed).
Thanks, I'm happy you liked the video!
Excellent analysis! Nice touch adding various clips to illustrate your points.
Thanks, I'm happy you liked the video!
Your reactions are the most informed I have heard yet. I have listened to more than 50 Angelina reactions, and yours are nearly as impressive as Angelina is ;) I recommend you react to her version of Etta James' "I'd Rather Go Blind".
Thank you very much!
like you, i had picked up on all of the R&B and even Southern R&B qualities that Angelina show-cases in this song. but there was always an element that i heard that i could not explain. her singing voice, at times, has an Arabian feel to it. then i discovered that her maternal grandmother is a famous Iranian singer who has coached Angelina since infancy. that finally answered all my remaining questions. you did an excellent job, sir. well done.
Thank you very much! I'm happy you enjoyed the video!
This version was a cleaned up homm'age to Screamin Jay Hawkins 1960's version because she displayed his.picture at the beginning of the video
An awesome reaction to the Bare foot Princess
Thanks a lot!
This was a cleaned up version of Screamin Jay Hawkins 1960's at the beginning of the video AJ actually displays a picture of SJH with bones through his.nose, it was a hommage !!!
Thanks for clarifying. When rewatching I was able to see his face on the glass.
For me the main thing that sets your reactions above all the rest are your examples with each comment. Just superb. I had never really realized just how much she was influenced by Billie Holiday until you gave those examples.
Great editing of the examples & comparisons, thank you!
Thank you very much!
loved your reaction. really brought out her greatness. Kudos!
Thank you very much!
Greatness... truly.
She's amazing!
Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤️💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤️💙 If there was ever a reason to believe in reincarnation, Angelina Jordan is it ❤️💙 Loved your reaction!!! ❤️💙 ***RIP SCREAMIN JAY HAWKINS***
She is amazing and surly has a great career ahead. I'm happy that you liked the video!
Angelina understands that her voice is the catalyst to convey emotion not just words and music is emotion set to rythem telling a tale. I feel she has now nearly mastered the skill and is today the best vocalist on any stage today. Girl knows her craft and executes wonderfully.
She did the arrangement of this song. She's amazing.
We'll constructed analysis! Kudos...
Thank you very much!
Great job and reaction! Thanks from Italy! 🇮🇹🙏🏻👍🏻
Thanks! Greetings to Italy!
Great reaction!
Thanks a lot!
A MUST‼️
6 year old Angelina’s cover of 🎼 I who have nothing 🎶 is awaiting your reaction!
Can’t wait to view it‼️👍🏽👌🏽
Thanks for taking the time to intercut other singers. I've watched hundreds of reactions to Angelina, and the comparisons add so much! As you point out all artists borrow, so it's great to hear who she borrowed from.
Thanks, I'm happy you liked the video!
Best reaction ever
One of the best breakdown and explanations I've watched, Brilliant reaction! You're in for a treat, for she will have you moving like a Yo Y o, LOL! Check out her Norway's Got Talent, where her start to become a Legend started and God Bless!
Thank you very much! And thank you for your song suggestions!
Another beautiful reaction, I LOVED it!!!!!
Loved the comparisons to other singers performances, with the video snippets. Just makes us again, realize how truly talented Angelina was at such a young age. I've listed to this over a hundred times now and I still find little thigs she does musically. I was a dozen times in when I realized during the melisma you talked about, her vibrato when she sings "I don't care", starts slower, than transitions to a faster vibrato at the end of the word . Don't know if it was a conscious decision, have not heard it replicated on any other recordings of this song.
Thank you, I'm happy you liked the video. Yes, you can find all kinds of little details in performances of great singers that take some time to discover. A change in vibrato speed is mostly caused by a change of the airflow rate (amount of air per second that makes it through the vocal folds as you sing). Sometimes that is a conscious choice, but many times it is the consequence of a certain vocal tract adjustment that is done in order to get a certain sound quality.
