Nice reaction. Angelina doesn't belt to show she can belt. She belts when she feels that is the right way to convey the song she is interpreting. Awesome performance!
She's showed that power from time to time in several performances and that's fantastic, but honestly a big part of what I love about her is that she doesn't lean on that. She has a subtle sensibility that's way, way beyond her years. I love the big moments, but I love the quiet parts even more.
The group 'Queen' remarked on Facebook that they were blown away by her performance. Would love to hear her on lead with Queen backing her up on stage.
Exactly my thoughts. I would love to see them perform something together. She is one of the few singers alive that may have the versatility to cover the width of Freddies work.
Great reaction as always Adam 🙏🙏👍👍💙💙 she just shows her vocal and belting power when is necessary but when she show it that would be out of this world and she is just 14 in a few years when her voice gets completely seasoned and with more experience she gets then the world would be under her feet mark my word here
All without any cringe or scream. Solid, fat, power notes with all the inflection needed for the meaning behind the lyrics. I hope Republic knows what to do with that much talent and skill that needs no tricks
I’m with you, this is an incredible cover. It is one of her best covers, and even she showed the ability to belt without relying on belting as many other contemporary singers do. I am so looking forward to her first new release with Republic Records. I always enjoy your reviews, even when they’re of somebody other than Angelina.
this is what makes Angelina unique from other singers she can do it all sing high sing low and everything in between there isn't another singer out there that can even come close to her in that sense and to top it off she can sing any genre with voice changes there isn't another singer in the world that can do what she does she will own the world with her singing now that she has signed with Republic can't wait for her new recordings she will own top 100 billboard
I realized this when I first heard her singing Gloomy Sunday in 2014 on The NGT Show when she was 7. I compared her vocals to that which the legendary Billie Holiday did when she sang the song at the age of either 28 or 29. They sounded so very similar, which may sound crazy, but once you compare their versions I'm sure you'll believe, as I do, that Billie is reincarnated in Angelina.
@@ridgemanron not only Billie but also Diana, Etta, and so forth down the line she can sound like all of them even Elvis too and Sinatra just anyone you can think of she is a one of a kind singer that you will never see again maybe in a few hundreds years from now and maybe longer
This performance is the best cover of “The Show Must Go On” that I have heard. It totally brings out the emotions and thoughts about Freddy Mercury and his story. It is a powerful statement ans Angelina delivers all of it with this beautiful performance. She gets to the heart and soul of the song and what the composer and singer conveyed. For me that was everything. I didn’t feel a different interpretation or performance. I felt like Freddy was singing it with her. It is such a special feeling to be able almost “channel” the original artist. Sounds crazy but I can’t help but feel like it kind of happened with Angelina and this music and song.
@@k.vn.k I was blown away truly.I couldn't even recognize the original in it,I only heard insane vocal acrobatics.On the other hand Angelina gave a special feeling reminding the original.
@@krisamagus1 One may argue that if you wanted to listen to something close to original, there is nothing better than to listen to the original? If one wanted to listen to something totally unique, a different version, an artistic effort from the artist, something that is not just a copy, then I would suggest go ahead and listen to the Dimash version. No one is wrong or right, it's a matter of personal taste ;)
@@k.vn.k one may argue or say anything.I still can't stand The Show Must Go On by Dimash.Nothing personal.It's the track maybe.Feels like a hmmm a rape.Sorry.I'm sure he is the best and a great guy.
i think i speak for many and hope the record company will not polished her to much, i still think her uniqueness is in raw, simple and humble performances where her angelic voice , her unreal soulfulness and emotions are not disturbed by egoistic musician or fake side shows,,,,,,,we have so many polished diamonds ,,,,,,she should stay hard to find wild pearl,,,,,,,,thanx for reaction
Freddie would be proud of this one. It is true that the age is not really a factor when considering how good Angelina is... but.... when you think about the fact that this is a 7th/8th grader singing this, it's hard to ignore how impressive that is. I think by now you are really seeing just how versatile Angelina is. I am very hopeful that when she puts out her debut album it is going to have a lot of variety on it to show what she is capable of doing (and I know it's not really going to be her "debut" album, but for much of the world it will be).
Thank you for your comments about respecting different artists in their own right. Thank heavens there is diversity, and it's not a competition. I have asked before, "What Would Angelina Do?" She would not criticize other artists. Love your reactions.
Thanks, Adam. I’m sure you read the interview with her manager, if not, here’s why they went with Republic Records: ‘Angelina Jordan has now signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. Manager (and uncle) Michael Astar says the commitment with the right interest in mind has been one of the most important things when choosing a team and partners to be part of Angelina’s team. “You also need to choose someone with the right chemistry. These are the people you have to deal with on a daily basis, you have to have a good feeling and chemistry with the team you choose.”’ Also, has anyone requested her EDM track? For a way down the road reaction. 😁 It’s called Above The Water (feat. Angelina Jordan). Another interesting experiment or Angelina trying out different things... sans belting (great belting, though!).
From what little I know, I think Republic may be a good fit for her. I'm so happy she didn't get sucked into the Simon Cowell money machine. (Sorry if that offends anyone, but I really don't like the guy.)
@Jan Rooth Let’s hope so. I’m not offended at all, and based on the interview with her uncle/manager, they didn’t want this to happen either... - - - ‘AGT (America Got Talent) had always been interested in bringing Angelina to the show, but with their normal contract, artists are being locked into a label, management, and other things for many years.

I convinced them to give me a contract where Angelina is free from any deal if she performs.”
@YouSurf 2 Had to Google that. Colbie Caillat is indeed signed with Republic. I’ll check out some of her songs. I didn’t really think the Above the Water chorus was Angelina “belting,” hence the “sans.” But after hearing it again a few minutes ago... fair enough! So pretend the above comment’s last line says “with more belting.”
@@jangunnarrooth I agree with you I don’t like him either and the other idiot at the other end of the desk Howie Mandel.. I read somewhere that if she didn’t sign with Simon that she wouldn’t win AGT Champions she didn’t even make the top five. The same thing happened to Emanne Beasha. Anyone who thinks that Simon has no say in the voting is delusional.
Her voice....just puts me in a relaxed mood! The one thing i look forward to is to get home from work and watch new reaction vids of her! Go Angelina!!!!!
Thank you for your great reactions to Angelina. All of the fans appreciate all of the kind words and honesty to her videos. And speaking for myself, thank you for turning me on to Aurora. I ran hot and cold with a couple of vids but when you recommended a few songs yesterday on your live, I took a closer listen. I'm becoming a fan of hers also. Totally different from Angelina. Also, since I found out you're a musical theater person, what Broadway song/score do you think Angelina would "kill".
She IS the Norwegian chocholate Troika: Dark chocholate covering red velvet berry gel,marzipan and sweet truffle. 😋😋😋 Shield,Its a mans world and Diamonds are forever pleaseplease💖💥
Wow is the word Yes she's signed for Republic records her uncle is her manger and they signed on there own terms so they came away with a great deal her family have been so great at protecting her her mother is her rock she's always by her side if not her mum it's her grandma or her uncle so they keep her safe all the time and it's great having her uncle as her manger and yes she did a brilliant job with this song but then again she always does a great job great reaction ❤️from Denise in Yorkshire 👼🏻💖😘👋XX
Thank you once again Adam, I loved this. Congratulations on your continued success with your channel, you deserve it as you have a really good clear set up. Thanks once again. We have lots to look forward to now that A J has signed a contract. 😄
Great reaction as always. It's always a happy day when you have a new Aurora or Angelina reaction video posted. One part of me would love to see you react even more often to Angelina, but it's probably better to spread them out as you do so you can continue to react to her for quite a long time. I have a feeling it will be awhile until Angelina can finish her new album in New York because of the coronavirus situation. She is currently living isolated at home in LA, mainly to protect her family from possible infection. She posted on Patreon that this is one reason she can't make cover videos too. She doesn't have access to all what she needs to make such videos from her home.
It is true I have only watched your Angelina Jordan reviews. I am a huge fan of hers. I watch many of the reaction videos, I do like your comments. I enjoy watching others discover and comment on her singing. Thank you.
I always look forward to your reactions to her. I think she still had that modulation in this one, those choices we all respect so much. Belting is not my cup of tea, but it is impressive that it's in her quiver. It's a major label she signed with; she's now in the company of Taylor Swift, Stevie Wonder, Ariana Grande, and, yes, Amy Winehouse was once on there too. Of course, her Whitney Houston cover is belted to the max. Her cover of Bohemian will, I suspect, surprise you (again). It's a tour de force.
As always on key from the beginning there are no words. If you haven't heard her cover I have nothing you need to. Great job keep them coming. I wish her all the luck in the world.
I love Queen but I have never been a fan of this song until now. This was extraordinary and is now my favorite AJ cover and that says a lot. I have followed her for years and if Republic gets the right songwriters, she will smash people's minds. AJ and Morisette are my all-time favorite female artists. It took about 3 seconds for you to melt this time. LOL
The last note that she holds for so long.....stupendous! One of my all time faves. How she can hold those powerful long notes while sitting down seems amazing to me.
Hello Adam. For a few weeks, months? I'm already following your reactions to Angelina. With this song, he holds a mask in front of his face. And I also believe that this has a deep meaning for Angelina. I believe that this colorful mask is supposed to represent Freddy's life and then the real face shows up. Angelina doesn't do anything rash. Everything has a meaning with her. Your reaction to this song is exactly what I feel too. As I already wrote, everything has a meaning with her!
Thank you Adam for another splendid reaction. The song Above The Water was on an album put out by the Norwegian duo TRXD who despite having some early success were struggling a bit and asked Angelina if she would do the track. It just goes to show she can perform any genre and do an amazing performance. I may be the only fan that feels this way but I hope this is not the direction she is heading with her music.
Angelina is probably the only artist in the world that would have half a million people show up at Republic’s headquarters in New York if there was any impropriety. There would not be an airline seat empty from around the world and the bus lines would run out of busses. I believe Republic is well aware there luck and the responsibilities they have toward Angelina Jordan Astar.
Cross countries and across the world!! We are allies on standby! Protecting our Barefoot Princess. Treat Angelina like the loving, beautiful, thoughtful, humble and awe inspiring artist that she is!!! Republic Records, we are👁 watching you!!
In a previous comment of mine I mentioned that while her overall performance is already phenomenal, powering through big notes is something that will be more impressive as she matures physically....Well, I no longer have to wait to hear that. She's already there!
And she makes it with nothing more than her voice, smile and naturally charm. No fancy, no sexy clothes or make up and no sexy moves... Simple beauty, simply talented
While this is not my favorite Angelina performance (that's "California Dreamin'"), it is in my Top 5. And I believe it is her most technically perfect performance: tone, range, pitch, and incredible breathe control. The backing track gives it a karaoke flavor. And while she does some rare belting in this performance, she does so effortlessly and pitch perfect. Let's say you've stopped into the club on karaoke night, and this pretty young girl steps up to the mike, and then this happens. And jaws drop in sync; people coming in off the street to hear this incredible sound. This is just a complete WOW! moment. Freddie's performance has a very different taste, and I would never say Angelina's is better. But I do like it just as much. No matter how many times I hear this young phenom sing, I'm always blown away. That hasn't happened to me in a long time (Buddy Holly, Linda Ronstadt, and Karen Carpenter). Thanks for another terrific reaction, Adam. 😊💕
You might like her cover of It's a Mans World. It is live and although the band with her is a bit loud she puts a lot of power into the song and is strong enough to blend well with them.
the interest in jazz and stuff comes from grandma, i think AJ interest in Queen comes from her grandfather who passed away, she choose bohemian for AGT cause it reminded her of him
I recently watched a 'mashup' of both Freddie and Angelina inter spliced and together and she hangs in there right with him; sometimes note for note. Of course she is incapable of replicating Freddie's catalogue but her performance here is spectacular and effortless. It doesn't diminish Freddie to say so. Just my opinion.
Thanks, Adam - I had not yet seen this -- seems like Angelina really mirrored Freddie in this -which is a tribute, I guess, b/c she typically puts her own arrangements/spins on songs.. she totally had the vocal chops - so great!
Thank you for another great reaction Adam. I really like your channel. Really waiting for you to react on „It’s a mans world“, the one with the life orchestra. It’s amazing
I have Goosebumps great reaction Adam 2 hour queen of music if this is the first time you have heard her belt a song you need to listen to her Whitney Houston cover of I have nothing you might as well take your socks off before you listen to it so they don't get blown off LOL
Just a young girl with a superb voice, simply sitting in front of a mike...so much emotion...this kid is freakin' amazing..Adam u have to do Bohemian Rhapsody soon and Its a Mans world....will blow your mind! Great reaction as usual!
I agree, Angelina did a wonderful. I consider four to six singers are at this level where I recognize their unique voice currently. As you said Dimash, and of course Angelina, Lara Fabian, Diana Ankudinova, Floor Jansen lead current lead singer of symphonic metal and Nughtwish. Others may be in this group for one or two songs but all of these singers have been consistently great, wonders, and/or amazing. There are many talented singers who sing beautifully but these four or five just stand out.
Another admirable feature of her is, she (and we) know she is fantastic at classical Jazz and Blues music, but she doesn't just stick to that. She investigates a whole range of other genres, always well, often as well as the best. Then she starts mixing genres (Yellow Brick Road, this one, etc) and mixing useful parts of several styles to put songs clearly across. And, with much of the music she does, for some reason it is the first time I actually hear and understand lyrics.
Nice reaction. Not her normal fare but she brought it. I think her forte of bringing emotion is still reflected here, especially to a song where Freddie knew he was dying. It's not in my top tier but it impresses. Folks have suggested a couple to highlight belting. Enjoy! They're both good. You'll get to the others that allow her to share emotion like few (if any) ever have (and this as a preteen/teen). You already have all the links from previous reactions. Her superfans are wonderful that way. I just ask that you stay on this train. It'll be fun!!
I am really loving your reactions to Angelina. I only discovered her recently, and I am completely obsessed. I can’t stop listening. I also would love to hear you react to another new talent: Grace VanderWaal... And begin with Darkness Keeps Chasing Me. She writes her own and also does beautiful covers.
I always appreciate your informative analysis. I know there are many videos you want to react to still and I am curious how you react to a complete change of pace in her version of "I'd Rather Go Blind". In that video she sounds like she has been smoking cigarettes and drinking whiskey for 40 years.
Gotta say "Go Blind" is one of my favorites! I just love the funky, jazzy sound...very much like Etta James voice sounded after 50-60 years of wear and tear. They have her sound in old age somewhere here on RUclips but you have to search around for it as I cannot remember what she was singing. It is amazing to me how jazz and blues singers sometimes sound better with their old rough voices!
I love listening to your reactions, Adam. They never seem fake or over the top, but well-reasoned and appreciative. I have a suggestion I never thought I would, because I'm not a huge fan of the song, "Unchained Melody". But, I listened to Angelina's version, and it literally left me breathless. Have a listen. :)
Hi Adam! LOL!!, you REALLY do read all your comments! You just responded to my comment I left for you on your take on Spell. For that, I subscribed to your channel! (I rarely subscribe to reactors although I watch many. But, I also saw your ‘apology’ on the Spell video in your comments, so you deserve respect for that. It’s also interesting to see your change in attitude towards Angelina after you have watched a few of her videos! I did see how your reacted to the AGT Champions video, and I can see you now “get to”. Yes, we ALL feel love for Angelina as if she were a daughter or granddaughter. She’s simply amazing, isn’t she?
I really love your comment on comparing artists, so true and so wise. With regards to belting, she doesn't do that very often, and I'm not to sure if she really spend to much time perfecting it either. I guess her other two belt songs would be "It's a mans world" ruclips.net/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/видео.html which is mind blowing, and of course Whitneys "I have nothing" . All that said, you must not miss "Nothings breaks like a heart" ruclips.net/video/fJ9eu7qBiwQ/видео.html by Cyrus/Ronson (which she worked with on Valerie), it her only pop/country cover, and the is totally owning it. I'm hoping to hear her do a full version of "Jolene" one day (I know there is a phone recording of her practicing Jolene with the crew in LA).
@@andyschnell58 soundwise I can agree, but seeing her perform, and even better, the expression in face of the conductor at her final belting note ruclips.net/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/видео.html is priceless
Good morning, I have listing to this song quite a few times it just blow my mind how someone her age can sing a queen song like that song and remember all the words that is a hard song to sing, Congrats to AJ for signing a record deal I am excited for her I am sure she will be a big 🌟 she is already, I admirer her parents for protecting her and making the right decision! Thank you for your great reaction!❗💜
She sang amazing on this song as she always does, I think had she had a band with her instead of a track it would have been even better because her magic is her rearrangement of a cover but keeping a certain essence of the original alive, but with a track, she can't do that as much. She was able to do her magic on Bohemian Rhapsody even though it was short because of AGT's time limit.
You are absolutely correct--it's not about one artist being "better" than another, it's about how each individual is moved or not moved by the work of a particular artist. For me, Angelina belongs in a highly important place in musical history. Listening to anything she sings causes my emotional armour to fly to the edge of oblivion.
I always loved that cover, so much emotional power. And she even made herself sound like him. The only sad part of the record deal is that UMG probably wont allow reaction videos on her new material. They are well know for copyright strikes. I'm curious if facebooks recently anounced new video platform can offer any improvement through their licensing deal with the label companies over the copyright mess on youtube.
you are so right, it is unfair to compare cause the versions are excellent each on their own, and they are completely different artists, absolutely amazing in their own ways, just like you just don't compare Aurora and Angelina too, they are both young queens. I'd suggest 'this is a mans world' ruclips.net/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/видео.html , The quality is perhaps not the best, but you will certainly hear her mighty voice even tho the orchestra is quite loud, she blew me away with this one
@@andyschnell58 The audio is better, but Angelinas vocals are not. And those vocals are what I am here for, so I definitely prefer the visual concert filmed by Boris 😊
She did this as a Tribute to Freddy Mercury and Queen. Check out Rockin Wolf's reaction to A.J.'s performance. Adding the information he shares adds greatly to our full understanding of how and why of her brilliant development of this Tribute. If I find the link, I will forward it.
Hey Adam👋 Can you please react to Angelina singing «I who have nothing» when she was six years old,it’s amazing👍 Always loves your reactions from Angelina and Aurora🤗 Love from Norway🇳🇴
You can only compair Angelina Jordan with Angelina Jordan, every ting else is unfair (for those who she is compaired with) She is in a league of its own. I also love the single she just did with TRXD : "Above the water" - again she shows her fully grown voice. Great review again....we can´t get enough of Angelinas voice can we?! NO!
Another reactor - a Queen fan - commented that Angelina clearly held back here and didn't belt it at her full power, which is exactly how this song should be sung. Song will be ruined if you really belt it out.
Andy Schnell Agree with you. In my opinion the sound of the other video is poor because it was an amateur taping, but still you could hear powerhouse Angelina shine.
She gives you some little bit of belt which she only rarely uses such as this. For extended belting try I Have Nothing the Whitney cover. This is mild.
You thank us for being apart of your community but we also must thank you for taking the time to make your videos. You do a fantastic job to bring us all together. If it weren’t for you I wouldn’t be hooked on Aurora too. I can’t get enough of these two! Two shining stars. I love them both and can’t go a single day without listening to them...
Nice reaction. Angelina doesn't belt to show she can belt. She belts when she feels that is the right way to convey the song she is interpreting. Awesome performance!
She's showed that power from time to time in several performances and that's fantastic, but honestly a big part of what I love about her is that she doesn't lean on that. She has a subtle sensibility that's way, way beyond her years. I love the big moments, but I love the quiet parts even more.

This is truly deserving to be performed live with Queen themselves. This is better that Paul Rodgers could ever do.

I really appreciate the fact that you did not Stop the video to interject Your comments but rather save them for the end. Another great reaction
Wow is the word Yes she's signed for Republic records her uncle is her manger and they signed on there own terms so they came away with a great deal her family have been so great at protecting her her mother is her rock she's always by her side if not her mum it's her grandma or her uncle so they keep her safe all the time and it's great having her uncle as her manger and yes she did a brilliant job with this song but then again she always does a great job great reaction ❤️from Denise in Yorkshire 👼🏻💖😘👋XX
another impressive performance from a truly great songtress !!!!!!!!
Thank you once again Adam, I loved this.
Congratulations on your continued success with your channel, you deserve it as you have a really good clear set up.
Thanks once again.
We have lots to look forward to now that A J has signed a contract. 😄
Great reaction as always. It's always a happy day when you have a new Aurora or Angelina reaction video posted.
One part of me would love to see you react even more often to Angelina, but it's probably better to spread them out as you do so you can continue to react to her for quite a long time.
I have a feeling it will be awhile until Angelina can finish her new album in New York because of the coronavirus situation. She is currently living isolated at home in LA, mainly to protect her family from possible infection. She posted on Patreon that this is one reason she can't make cover videos too. She doesn't have access to all what she needs to make such videos from her home.
It is true I have only watched your Angelina Jordan reviews. I am a huge fan of hers. I watch many of
the reaction videos, I do like your comments. I enjoy watching others discover and comment on her singing. Thank you.
I always look forward to your reactions to her. I think she still had that modulation in this one, those choices we all respect so much. Belting is not my cup of tea, but it is impressive that it's in her quiver. It's a major label she signed with; she's now in the company of Taylor Swift, Stevie Wonder, Ariana Grande, and, yes, Amy Winehouse was once on there too. Of course, her Whitney Houston cover is belted to the max. Her cover of Bohemian will, I suspect, surprise you (again). It's a tour de force.
Es perfecta ,unica Angelina nos emosiona escucharte una voz nueva, esperada ❤❤❤❤❤
As always on key from the beginning there are no words. If you haven't heard her cover I have nothing you need to. Great job keep them coming. I wish her all the luck in the world.
She’s an angel ... old soul ... hope she’s protected in this industry 🙏🏼
The last I have seen 35 million followers I think the world is finding out
This is my fav, she was belting with so much control. Although it was not her usual jazzy style but still impressive...
I love Queen but I have never been a fan of this song until now. This was extraordinary and is now my favorite AJ cover and that says a lot. I have followed her for years and if Republic gets the right songwriters, she will smash people's minds. AJ and Morisette are my all-time favorite female artists. It took about 3 seconds for you to melt this time. LOL
When Angelina throws into overdrive she leaves 99.9% of everybody else in the dust.
The last note that she holds for so long.....stupendous! One of my all time faves. How she can hold those powerful long notes while sitting down seems amazing to me.
Hello Adam. For a few weeks, months? I'm already following your reactions to Angelina. With this song, he holds a mask in front of his face. And I also believe that this has a deep meaning for Angelina. I believe that this colorful mask is supposed to represent Freddy's life and then the real face shows up. Angelina doesn't do anything rash. Everything has a meaning with her.
Your reaction to this song is exactly what I feel too. As I already wrote, everything has a meaning with her!
Guauuuuuu, ahora Angelina, qué bien, ella es maravillosa, dotada de un talento natural proveniente de edades inmemoriales. Amo tu reacción.
Adam thank you, this is another great from Miss Angelina. Love love love❤❤❤
Your spot on with your analysis. The same I felt My first time hearing her singing This song
Great Reaction Stay Safe
Thank you Adam for another splendid reaction.
The song Above The Water was on an album put out by the Norwegian duo TRXD who despite having some early success were struggling a bit and asked Angelina if she would do the track. It just goes to show she can perform any genre and do an amazing performance.
I may be the only fan that feels this way but I hope this is not the direction she is heading with her music.
I love her lower register but her power is amazing, it hits you like a brick wrapped in velvet.😊
Angelina is probably the only artist in the world that would have half a million people show up at Republic’s headquarters in New York if there was any impropriety. There would not be an airline seat empty from around the world and the bus lines would run out of busses. I believe Republic is well aware there luck and the responsibilities they have toward Angelina Jordan Astar.
So right you are!!
You're on notice Republic, treat her like the jewel she is.
Standing by
Republic Records, 1755 Broadway, New York, NY 10019
Cross countries and across the world!! We are allies on standby! Protecting our Barefoot Princess. Treat Angelina like the loving, beautiful, thoughtful, humble and awe inspiring artist that she is!!! Republic Records, we are👁 watching you!!
She has no limits her future is so exciting
Thank you for the reaction looking forward too Shield! And what is life & Oslo
Like your reaction. It's a Man's World. Power 🤨🙂🙂
In a previous comment of mine I mentioned that while her overall performance is already phenomenal, powering through big notes is something that will be more impressive as she matures physically....Well, I no longer have to wait to hear that. She's already there!
And she makes it with nothing more than her voice, smile and naturally charm.
No fancy, no sexy clothes or make up and no sexy moves...
Simple beauty, simply talented
Great reaction, and I agree 100%!
I expect when she signed she kept creative control and final approval.
While this is not my favorite Angelina performance (that's "California Dreamin'"), it is in my Top 5. And I believe it is her most technically perfect performance: tone, range, pitch, and incredible breathe control. The backing track gives it a karaoke flavor. And while she does some rare belting in this performance, she does so effortlessly and pitch perfect. Let's say you've stopped into the club on karaoke night, and this pretty young girl steps up to the mike, and then this happens. And jaws drop in sync; people coming in off the street to hear this incredible sound. This is just a complete WOW! moment. Freddie's performance has a very different taste, and I would never say Angelina's is better. But I do like it just as much. No matter how many times I hear this young phenom sing, I'm always blown away. That hasn't happened to me in a long time (Buddy Holly, Linda Ronstadt, and Karen Carpenter). Thanks for another terrific reaction, Adam. 😊💕
how can anyone not love her
MARAVILHOSA, FANTÁSTICA,ESSA VOZ !!!!!!!
She understand the meaning of the song and respect it.
You might like her cover of It's a Mans World. It is live and although the band with her is a bit loud she puts a lot of power into the song and is strong enough to blend well with them.
the interest in jazz and stuff comes from grandma, i think AJ interest in Queen comes from her grandfather who passed away, she choose bohemian for AGT cause it reminded her of him
🎧 Valerie & Nothing Breaks Like a Heart. 💔
I recently watched a 'mashup' of both Freddie and Angelina inter spliced and together and she hangs in there right with him; sometimes note for note. Of course she is incapable of replicating Freddie's catalogue but her performance here is spectacular and effortless. It doesn't diminish Freddie to say so. Just my opinion.
Thanks, Adam - I had not yet seen this -- seems like Angelina really mirrored Freddie in this -which is a tribute, I guess, b/c she typically puts her own arrangements/spins on songs.. she totally had the vocal chops - so great!
Thank you for another great reaction Adam. I really like your channel. Really waiting for you to react on „It’s a mans world“, the one with the life orchestra. It’s amazing
Angel ❤️
I have Goosebumps great reaction Adam 2 hour queen of music if this is the first time you have heard her belt a song you need to listen to her Whitney Houston cover of I have nothing you might as well take your socks off before you listen to it so they don't get blown off LOL
Love her 😘❤️
Just a young girl with a superb voice, simply sitting in front of a mike...so much emotion...this kid is freakin' amazing..Adam u have to do Bohemian Rhapsody soon and Its a Mans world....will blow your mind! Great reaction as usual!
I agree, Angelina did a wonderful. I consider four to six singers are at this level where I recognize their unique voice currently.
As you said Dimash, and of course Angelina, Lara Fabian, Diana Ankudinova, Floor Jansen lead current lead singer of symphonic metal and Nughtwish. Others may be in this group for one or two songs but all of these singers have been consistently great, wonders, and/or amazing. There are many talented singers who sing beautifully but these four or five just stand out.
So relaxed and effortless.
Another admirable feature of her is, she (and we) know she is fantastic at classical Jazz and Blues music, but she doesn't just stick to that. She investigates a whole range of other genres, always well, often as well as the best. Then she starts mixing genres (Yellow Brick Road, this one, etc) and mixing useful parts of several styles to put songs clearly across.
And, with much of the music she does, for some reason it is the first time I actually hear and understand lyrics.
Awesome reaction.👍🏼🎼🤗
I forgot to say that I love your astute comments and reactions to music you hadn’t heard before.
Angelina SITTING in her living room belting to a backing track, nothing fancy. You ought to hear her when she's standing up!
Angelina Jordan ,Someone You Loved, her final performance on AGT. The show with intro, not rehearsal.
Nice reaction. Not her normal fare but she brought it. I think her forte of bringing emotion is still reflected here, especially to a song where Freddie knew he was dying. It's not in my top tier but it impresses. Folks have suggested a couple to highlight belting. Enjoy! They're both good. You'll get to the others that allow her to share emotion like few (if any) ever have (and this as a preteen/teen). You already have all the links from previous reactions. Her superfans are wonderful that way. I just ask that you stay on this train. It'll be fun!!
I am really loving your reactions to Angelina. I only discovered her recently, and I am completely obsessed. I can’t stop listening.
I also would love to hear you react to another new talent: Grace VanderWaal... And begin with Darkness Keeps Chasing Me. She writes her own and also does beautiful covers.
I always appreciate your informative analysis. I know there are many videos you want to react to still and I am curious how you react to a complete change of pace in her version of "I'd Rather Go Blind". In that video she sounds like she has been smoking cigarettes and drinking whiskey for 40 years.
Gotta say "Go Blind" is one of my favorites! I just love the funky, jazzy sound...very much like Etta James voice sounded after 50-60 years of wear and tear. They have her sound in old age somewhere here on RUclips but you have to search around for it as I cannot remember what she was singing. It is amazing to me how jazz and blues singers sometimes sound better with their old rough voices!
I love listening to your reactions, Adam. They never seem fake or over the top, but well-reasoned and appreciative. I have a suggestion I never thought I would, because I'm not a huge fan of the song, "Unchained Melody". But, I listened to Angelina's version, and it literally left me breathless. Have a listen. :)
Angelina is the best performer:-)))
Hi Adam! LOL!!, you REALLY do read all your comments! You just responded to my comment I left for you on your take on Spell. For that, I subscribed to your channel! (I rarely subscribe to reactors although I watch many. But, I also saw your ‘apology’ on the Spell video in your comments, so you deserve respect for that. It’s also interesting to see your change in attitude towards Angelina after you have watched a few of her videos! I did see how your reacted to the AGT Champions video, and I can see you now “get to”. Yes, we ALL feel love for Angelina as if she were a daughter or granddaughter. She’s simply amazing, isn’t she?
I really love your comment on comparing artists, so true and so wise. With regards to belting, she doesn't do that very often, and I'm not to sure if she really spend to much time perfecting it either. I guess her other two belt songs would be "It's a mans world" ruclips.net/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/видео.html which is mind blowing, and of course Whitneys "I have nothing" . All that said, you must not miss "Nothings breaks like a heart" ruclips.net/video/fJ9eu7qBiwQ/видео.html by Cyrus/Ronson (which she worked with on Valerie), it her only pop/country cover, and the is totally owning it. I'm hoping to hear her do a full version of "Jolene" one day (I know there is a phone recording of her practicing Jolene with the crew in LA).
I prefer her performance of It's a Man's World from her 2018 concert (but no video) the audio is much better. ruclips.net/video/meUN_mTpl1I/видео.html
@@andyschnell58 soundwise I can agree, but seeing her perform, and even better, the expression in face of the conductor at her final belting note ruclips.net/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/видео.html is priceless
@@larsm2001 A very good observation. Angelina certainly has a future singing the blues ..........and anything else she chooses.
thank you,
Good morning, I have listing to this song quite a few times it just blow my mind how someone her age can sing a queen song like that song and remember all the words that is a hard song to sing, Congrats to AJ for signing a record deal I am excited for her I am sure she will be a big 🌟 she is already, I admirer her parents for protecting her and making the right decision! Thank you for your great reaction!❗💜
She sang amazing on this song as she always does, I think had she had a band with her instead of a track it would have been even better because her magic is her rearrangement of a cover but keeping a certain essence of the original alive, but with a track, she can't do that as much. She was able to do her magic on Bohemian Rhapsody even though it was short because of AGT's time limit.
I always enjoy your reactions great job.
You are absolutely correct--it's not about one artist being "better" than another, it's about how each individual is moved or not moved by the work of a particular artist. For me, Angelina belongs in a highly important place in musical history. Listening to anything she sings causes my emotional armour to fly to the edge of oblivion.
I always loved that cover, so much emotional power. And she even made herself sound like him.
The only sad part of the record deal is that UMG probably wont allow reaction videos on her new material. They are well know for copyright strikes. I'm curious if facebooks recently anounced new video platform can offer any improvement through their licensing deal with the label companies over the copyright mess on youtube.
What an incredible voice. I don't think there is anything she can't sing.
you are so right, it is unfair to compare cause the versions are excellent each on their own, and they are completely different artists, absolutely amazing in their own ways, just like you just don't compare Aurora and Angelina too, they are both young queens. I'd suggest 'this is a mans world' ruclips.net/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/видео.html , The quality is perhaps not the best, but you will certainly hear her mighty voice even tho the orchestra is quite loud, she blew me away with this one
I prefer her performance of It's a Man's World from her 2018 concert (but no video) the audio is much better. ruclips.net/video/meUN_mTpl1I/видео.html
@@andyschnell58 The audio is better, but Angelinas vocals are not. And those vocals are what I am here for, so I definitely prefer the visual concert filmed by Boris 😊
She did this as a Tribute to Freddy Mercury and Queen. Check out Rockin Wolf's reaction to A.J.'s performance. Adding the information he shares adds greatly to our full understanding of how and why of her brilliant development of this Tribute. If I find the link, I will forward it.
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Somewhere Freddie Mercury is smiling.
As we are!
Hey Adam👋 Can you please react to Angelina singing «I who have nothing» when she was six years old,it’s amazing👍
Always loves your reactions from Angelina and Aurora🤗 Love from Norway🇳🇴
You can only compair Angelina Jordan with Angelina Jordan, every ting else is unfair (for those who she is compaired with) She is in a league of its own.
I also love the single she just did with TRXD : "Above the water" - again she shows her fully grown voice.
Great review again....we can´t get enough of Angelinas voice can we?! NO!
Sounds like something from a Bond movie. She's magical.!
If that is the most powerful you clearly haven’t heard her version of, It’s a Mans World on the Boris Palenovski channel. She really rips that one.
I second that!
Please, please, please!
Another reactor - a Queen fan - commented that Angelina clearly held back here and didn't belt it at her full power, which is exactly how this song should be sung. Song will be ruined if you really belt it out.
I agree but I prefer her performance of It's a Man's World from her 2018 concert (but no video). ruclips.net/video/meUN_mTpl1I/видео.html
Andy Schnell Agree with you. In my opinion the sound of the other video is poor because it was an amateur taping, but still you could hear powerhouse Angelina shine.
She gives you some little bit of belt which she only rarely uses such as this. For extended belting try I Have Nothing the Whitney cover. This is mild.
Angelina singing Whitney Houston. I Have Nothing. Is amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🇨🇦❤️
Adam, another cover Angelina sings the "guts out of", to use your phrase, is Whitney Houston's I Have Nothing.
She does a phenomenal job on that song.
And she makes it look effortless - as usual...
You thank us for being apart of your community but we also must thank you for taking the time to make your videos. You do a fantastic job to bring us all together. If it weren’t for you I wouldn’t be hooked on Aurora too. I can’t get enough of these two! Two shining stars. I love them both and can’t go a single day without listening to them...
Thank you so much!
I came back to see your reaction. “A Man’s World” is another you will enjoy.
