Simon's look... "I couldn't sign her" If Simon had any brains he would have signed anything Angelina wanted or needed as a contract, just to stay a part of her life. Simon for what ever reason let the "golden goose" get away. I for one am glad she got away, period. Angelina will become the next superstar of the world, as far as I'm concerned she is the 9th wonder of the world. My favorite singer can just about sing anything she wants. Thumbs up fellas. She won the hearts of the world.
As Angelina so prophetically stated, I finally decide that my future lies beyond the Yellow Brick Road (of AGT)! She has not nor has ever needed AGT to be the Greatest Musical Artist of the past and current century💜
Angelina singing this song was brilliant on her part because she turned down Simons offer to sign her up and the song is about pretty much the same thing. If you listen carefully she chuckles at the very end. As if to say "Take That".
Kevin, I totally agree with you on what the chuckle was about. Many people have said this was the wrong song to sing for the final, but it's my understanding the song was picked by Simon. She didn't have time to come up with her own arrangement like she did for Bohemian Rhapsody, so she borrowed Sara Bareilles' version. However, she took it to another level with her orchestral voice & it's my favorite Angelina song so far.
This was her version of Elton John's song. Beautiful. Did you know she won Norway's Got Talent when she was 7? Definitely need to check that out. Her grandmother, whose an artist, introduced blues to her when she was just a baby. She went on AGT knowing she wouldn't win because she wouldn't sign a deal, but it was brilliant to appear on AGT Champions because of all the American exposure she garnered. I hope you continue to explore all the covers she's done and her own original, "Shield". Love you guys.
Gus Erland Here, you lazy prick. This link explains the Superfan system. www.distractify.com/p/who-are-the-superfans-on-agt. Basically 50 ppl were selected after an application process to be a Superfan. 1 person represented 1 of the states. They decided the winner. And out of 50 ppl, if you get a bunch that don’t care too much for singers/music, they’re not gonna vote for any singer (no matter how good).
Frankie K Dont you think the producers of the show can «decide» who win regardless of those superfans? Put it this way....Who do you think picked these «superfans»? Angelina was never going to win cause they wouldnt allow it, since she didnt want to sign and get tied to a contract with AGT afterwards.
Gus Erland Lol. There isn’t evidence. Because AGT doesn’t provide any. But I believe my version over all the idiots out there that believe Simon Cowell (the billionaire) was salty about not being able to sign her to his label, so he fixed the competition against her, Marcelito (no problems there) and Diana ( no problems there either). Or is it just stupid ppl being given the power of millions perhaps? You decide. I myself, have a 152 I.Q., graduated college, and can figure most things out on my own. While, admittedly, 13% of the population on the planet are more intelligent than I am, I will still draw my own conclusions.
They gave her a choice of two songs. She did it her way, it was originally done by Elton John and it sounded completely different. Simon said she did the unexpected when she sung this song this way and congratulated for taking the risk. It was fantastic, also her age here is 13.
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ It should be obvious to anyone who listens to Angelina sing that her not "winning" AGT: The Champions had absolutely nothing to do with her incredible talent, and what an amazing singer she is. We'll just leave it at that. I agree with Fedor Ivanov's advice to you about how to improve your reactions, by the way.
She knew she wouldn't win because of the contract crap. So, AGT got great ratings and Angelina got millions of new fans. Fair deal. The song is from an Elton John album of the same name. Covered by many, but not like Angie.
She wore yellow that night not because of the song title, but as a nod to and show of respect to the original artist Elton John as yellow is his favorite color.( from interview on a Norway TV show)
The championship version of AGT is always won by circus acts. AGT controls what people are allowed to sing on here so they can control who actually wins the show. She could have sung anything and won the show if they had let her. Try listening to Angelina sing 'It's a Man's World' (live at 12 years old) ruclips.net/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/видео.html
The music industry can be wicked and cruel not to mention the countless artists that have been distroyed in the past. That's why many of Angelina's fans were relieved that she had lost, fearing she would fall into the grips of what could eventually destroy her. Sometimes not winning is actually the win.
Elton John, Yellow Brick Road. I think it was actually in Angelina's best interest to come in 2nd or so. I've heard she's been signed to a recording company (Republic?). Whatever she does, it's because she wants to and that her family is certain she can do it safely. Nothing but love for this child and her people.
She didn't want to pick a safe song. She already knew she's not going to win the "competition". She was there to show up her talent before making a contract with some record company. Now virtually everyone knows her and she's going to be a huge superstar. You know these talent shows are fake. The producer decides who's going to win. Votes don't matter and AGT Champions votes matter even less. She was already too good to the show. She just fulfilled her childhood dream to perform to Simon Cowell.
There are too many unknowns. How much of this competition was in Angelina's hands, how much was dictated? The songs (after Bohemian Rhapsody)? The yellow pantsuit (where she had a t-shirt of her face underneath)? The requirements regarding being in the top 5? Who are the "super fans from all 50 states"? What instructions were they given, and by whom? What was the arrangement between AGT and her manager? Could she win? In the end, Angelina was the actual winner, because I and many others listen to her music and I do not even know the name of the act that won AGT.
When Angelina was 6 yr old, traveling in Iran with her family, she met an orphan living on the streets who had scars on her feet & no shoes. They talked for a long while. Angelina gave the girl her shoes and vowed to perform barefoot until all children have shoes. Then she published a book about the encounter and often does benefit concerts - now having raised over 12 million Euros for children's charities. Thanks for your reactions!
It was absolutely the best song choice for finals. But only if you come from a place of having lived with original version by Elton John, and lived through the song's history, and know the life story of Elton John would a person understand the genius in choosing this song. She really made this song her own. And the judges already loved the song, for literally decades. Not the safe choice... the right choice. I love you guys and appreciate your channel so much! ♥️🎶
The whole AGT Champions was a bunch of bunk. She crushed it in three performances ( be sure to check out the third) and literally made the show. The winners were 30- 40 acrobats from India. Really? One Angelina fan claimed she got 70% of the audience survey as best contestant. I don't know about the accuracy of that comment but it sounds right to me and I saved the performances of the days she was a participant. That she didn't place in the top five made AGT a joke, if you doubt it check out the other acts ( and I do mean acts). In the end, AGT and Angelina both won big time. She saved their AGT season and they got her a couple of million new fans who had not yet heard of her. She is a star and just signed a contract with Republic Records, the label for Taylor Swift, Arianna Grande and the late Amy Winehouse. As I understand it this song was AGT's choice not Angelina's. Hard to believe you don't know Elton John's biggest hit.( Benny and the Jets may be bigger)
I remember voting for Angelina on the internet for what they called "Who had the best "Golden Buzzer" At the time I voted (days later) she was ahead at 79%
@@leebrn8588 Where was that at? Sux I missed it. I would’ve voted Angelina too. AGT’s 50superfan votes that counted for their entire state was BS. I want to see the I.Q.’s of these ppl. They voted a a dance troupe more talented. They are awesome, but they don’t have the talent of this 13 turned 14 y/o. They could not dance anywhere near good enough to beat her when they were same age. There isn’t a 14 y/o dance troupe on the planet that could compete with her on a talent level.
1st, bunch of acrobats won the whole show. 2nd, You're correct about saying that the song choice isn't really for competition type but what I disagree is when you said that she was like took it too safe, no she did not. She took a risk with that song. She made that old boring song breath a new life. If only she wanted to play safe she could have chose her most viewed performances on RUclips and run away with the title. But Angelina is not like that... Music is an art, it's all about sincerity... And she maybe wanted the people to see what artistry is all about. And that's one of the many reasons why she always has my utmost respect. This performance is nothing but a masterpiece. And some people failed to see that. But everything is a bit clear now. As what her uncle/ manager said... Angelina was presented a special contract by AGT just for her to appear on their show. And who knows what kind of deal is that. And I'm guessing.... AGT badly wanted Angelina to their show. Angelina refuses a binding contract which comes along in participating to AGT. AGT finally agreed to not include the binding contract but in return Angelina can't win the show. All Angelina wanted is a platform to launch her into the whole America. Win-win for both side perhaps.
Ulyses Labajo So is Angelina a liar? Why did she say she “hoped she could win”? You do not have to take the contract to perform in Vegas fir a year. Grace Van derwahl didn’t. Neither did Darci Lynn.
@@frankiek2269 that's why I said I'm guessing...😉 And secondly Angelina's situation is so different from the other two artists you mentioned. I based my take heavily on the words of her uncle/manager in a recent article posted. He said there that for the longest time AGT is trying to get Angelina to sing for their show. Excerpt from the article.. "Another interesting point in the interview is that Angelina Jordan's appearance in "America's Got Talent" hung in the balance for a long time because the program is bound by long-term contracts that in the worst case can force a participant into a special management and record company. For Michael Astar, this was completely out of the question. - Then it took a while and they contacted me again to ask if she would sing on their show. Then I persuaded them to give me a contract where Angelina was completely released from any agreement if she performs, he says to Music Norway." When she said she hope she could win the show..it was not a lie. "Maybe" she already knew... But her goal in that whole AGT is bigger than winning it all. Again, Im maybe wrong. 😅
Ulyses Labajo I had read that article too already. Someone else posted the link somewhere. What is a longtime, considering AGT didn’t do a champions edition until January of 2019. She’s been on a lot of radars since she won in ‘14. It’s quite possible that AGT has changed the contract to appear on the show because ppl have turned it down in the past perhaps.
@@frankiek2269 not all people/talents can turn down a contract from show as big as AGT. Unless you already have a name of your own and AGT is the one chasing you... And I think that has been the case with Angelina. AGT doesn't only mean The Champions edition. They might already pursuing her to join their regular season even before the Champions came to fruition.
There is some talk that the singers did not get to choose their own songs, or that they could choose from two or three that were predetermined . I know she would have sung something else on her own
She wasn't eliminated, it was the final... you can't get eliminated from the final, she just didn't make top 5 (the travesty of that is something else). Also, OneDirection was never on America's got Talent, they were on XFactor UK, they are British.
Rant mode: on Here are the top 5: 1. Acrobats from India with a nice back story. They did a lot of jumping and flying through the air. You know, like acrobats do. 2. A husband and wife acrobat team made famous by the fact that husband accidentally dropped wife (or she missed him, or not - hard to tell) from (?) 10-20 ft) in one of their AGT performances. It was scary to watch but they still got moved on to the next round. They were actually a very good act and were definitely my favorite of all the circus acts on the show. 3 . A 12 year old violin player (you saw him in your 2nd reaction, to “Someone You Loved”). He has an Inspiring back story, a nice personally and a winning smile. A really nice kid and a good violin player, but he was propelled to that position by his story, not his violin skills. For the record, I do love his sound and the way he slows things down, but *this* is a violin prodigy. www.theguardian.com/music/video/2018/apr/23/australian-violin-prodigy-10-named-youngest-ever-winner-at-menuhin-competition-video 4. He’s a tenor! He’s a falsetto soprano! He’s two in one! Dramatically reducing your wedding singer costs! Real sopranos are so pricey. The only problem is you’ll never hear them both singing at the same time with us. He actually is a good singer, otherwise I would’ve been tempted to classify him with the circus acts. 5. Sandou Trio Russian Bar - Another amazing circus act. Of the kind you can see in circuses all over the world. Angelina does something that the vast majority of the 7 1/2 billion people on this planet have also done. Sing. It’s my opinion that Angelina sings better than all those other 7.5 million people. But even if you think that’s overstating it (an argument can certainly be made for that) she’s close enough to the pinnacle that what she does, especially for her age, is far more impressive, even if it doesn’t involve spikes or flames or unplanned drops from 20 feet in the air. And there you have it. Angelina was essentially tied in sixth place with four other acts; two dance acts (one being a silhouette dance act, very creative), a singer/dancer/accordionist who was a train wreck in the finals, and a dog act with an adorable young German girl as the trainer. The fact that Angelina Jordan didn’t win is disappointing but didn’t surprise me at all given the kinds of acts she was competing against. He doesn’t come down to who has the most talent. It comes down to who the super fans would like to go watch perform. As much as I love Tyler, the violinist, the fact that she finished out if the top five and he was third is literally an outrage and you’ll never find better proof that the “super fan“ voting system is an unmitigated disaster. It guarantees that you get neither the best act nor the most popular act. It requires some knowledge to evaluate a singing act. Superfans don’t have that. It doesn’t take any skill at all to know that a lady springing off a board being held by a couple burly dudes over a flaming bed of spikes looks impressive. Rant mode: off And I COMPLETELY agree with you about the song choice. It was too similar to Bohemian Rhapsody. Very different songs but sung in a very similar style using a very similar voice with similar vocal effects like to the heavy is of runs/melismas, and the obligatory belting out. She has such incredible diversity in her stylistic range I think she could’ve done something more “impressive” to show off a different side of her talent. Even leaving the rumors aside, I do strongly suspect that this song choice was influenced if not outright dictated by Simon or AGT Champs. But I don’t have any proof of that.
Gotta agree with Robert. This was a really good rant. And, you covered the *relevant* facts better than anyone else who has commented on any reaction channel to date. Always a pleasure to read your comments, David.
Hi guys I like you two...she was not bl eliminated.. you are correct on some details...she had won but would not sign away the rights to her music and chose not to win tho she knew she had won... Joyce in Tahoe
The company who owns AGT owns just about everything related, internationally, and they are not speaking to this issue, but it is speculated that AGT gave their standard contract offer. Of course Angelina Jordan is no mere contest winner, pining for a slave contract from AGT. Her worth is unimaginable, and so I believe she turned them down and walked. Her uncle is handling her, and obviously he is too smart to take an AGT contract. And, it is interesting that you mentioned a boy band. Those are notorious for contracts that pay something like minimum wage to their pauper boys, who only make real money after the contract expires and they get liberated from it.
No need for speculations anymore. AGT may be silent out of principle, but her manager is more than willing to speak about it: musicnorway.no/news/industry-talk-michael-astar/
Gary w. Actually, boy band or regular bands, and also rap artists, they only make their real money from touring. Until the contract is up. Mostly, they stick it out until they have enough of a following to renegotiate or start their own label. Angelina signed with Republic Records, the label that leveraged everything to support Taylor Swift. That guy (can’t remember his name without Googling), is known for letting artists “do their own thing”. That, I believe, is why she and her uncle decided to sign with them.
@@frankiek2269 Could you elaborate on their support for Taylor Swift or point us to some links? That would be interesting. The thing with many contest winners is, you never hear of them again. The label talks them into their idea of style and it utterly fails. Happened e.g. with Janet Devlin (X-factor). Only after she got rid of those people did she begun to have some measure of success.
@@yves2932 I’m not doing the work for you. If you want to know, research it yourself. It’s easy. Google, “search TS and the guy that signed her and put everything on the line to back her”. She was his only asset. And she was only 15 at the time. That is true belief in someone.
Good reaction. Unfortunately you were incorrect. If you listen to Simon at the end of the song he stated that he loved the song and was happy she didn't play it safe and he would remember this song for years and years. Listen to "A Man's World " by Rick James. Thanks again for your reaction.
This song was written by Elton John and his co-songwriter Bernie Taupin, approximately 1973; however, Angelina sang a modified rendition of Sara Bareilles's version from 7/15/2013 YT upload. Here is Sara's link for referencing only : ruclips.net/video/Ozd2ja7mAgM/видео.html I still find Angelina's vocal tones much more pleasing to my ears.
You don't need to worry about this young lady gentlemen! At the ripe old age of 14, she's just signed with Republic Records (one of the 4-5 largest labels in the world). She didn't need to win AGT, she was already well on her way by the age of 6-7.
Hello friends, rumors say she did not win because she did not want to sign a contract with Simon's record company so they did not let her win the competition. She knew this before she sang this song and it can be seen that her energies are different from her first appearance in agt. it oll about the 💰 You have not seen anything yet and you alone will come to the conclusion how good it really is in the future ...😉
I have watched 2 of your reactions to Angelina Jordan's songs. You both bring a lot of honesty, enthusiasm, to your reaction videos. Myself, and anyone else who has watched your reactions, then have 2 choices... subscribe and continue to watch more of your reactions, or leave, not to return again. Because there are 100's of RUclipsrs like yourselves, also have YT reactions channels. I was going to just leave, and go watch other Reactors whose videos have more "substance", and information about why and what they "got" from watching the videos. But I remember when I was at the beginning of my photography career. Many professional photographers with various levels of experience, offered some of their wisdom/experience to me on how to improve my photographic skills. No better way to learn anything than walking down the path that someone else has been down before you. Their wisdom was priceless and catapulted my knowledge of my career! So, I read a lot of comments on this reaction. And the #1 comment being repeated over & over by others is... volume of the video TOO LOW. And your two voices much louder than the video you are doing a reaction to. I agree with them. I have the best headphones money can buy. And I could barely even tell what was being said in the video you two are watching, and reacting to... I will leave you with this. "If one keeps doing what they are doing, they will keep getting what they got". Or they can learn from others who walked the same path, before them. Seek out people's YT channels who are further down the "reaction road" than the two of you. I have taken the liberty to show you a YT reactor whose channel is very good. Setting, lighting, ambiance, the excellence of information she has gathered from the video, and how she shares her reaction to her audience. Watch her reaction here.... ruclips.net/video/3taU4NqrzMM/видео.html KEEP GETTNG BETTER!
As addressed in the comments below, she knew she was not going to win without an AGT contract. So she stayed true to herself, which is so Angelina. And if you listen to the lyrics, they are a very appropriate message to AGT ("I didn't sign up with you . I'm not a present for your friends to open. .... Oh, I've finally decided my future lies Beyond the yellow brick road"). Meanwhile, she received tremendous exposure in the US and has now signed with Republic Records..
You 2, nice reaction. This was her 2nd performance. Her 1st was Bohemian Rhapsody. The Finale was the 3 people together & they were used as a distraction. I explained it all on you 2nd over all reaction. Angie knew she wasn't going to win after the 1st song. Listen to the words on this song & Angie changed a word from "didn't sign up for you" to "didn't sing up with you" This song is an Elton John song from an Album of the same name back in 1973. I remember when it came out. Good album. Angie killed this song. You guys have some reactions to Angie now, could you please put her on your play list on you channel, so some of us can binge watch. Thank you. :-)
Billy Woods They are AGT. They can get any song they want. They have the budget. Not at all like American Idol season 1 when they couldn’t afford any newer songs.
Billy Woods Actually I don’t know why they pick the same songs, either.. Probably just songs they are comfortable with already. You don’t really want to have to learn a song in one week. That leaves all kinds of unpleasant possibilities, such as, forgetting the words, etc..! So they probably pick songs that they, like us, have all heard a thousand times.
All the judges knew that Angelina had refused to sign the SyCo contract, and knew she couldn't win, so it was decided to give her a Golden Buzzer in lieu of...
I like to think that Angelina learned from her mom after her incredible performance of Bohemian Rhapsody, that she would not be able to win the contest (no contract signed). Angelina upon learning that selected this song for the finals (only my guess) since she knew now that her future truly does lie Beyond the Yellow Brick Road (talent contests).
I think the singers in AGTtC weren't allowed to pick the songs they wanted. They got a list to choose from from the organizers. Some say Angelina wasn't very happy about what she had to pick from, but she definitely did the best she could from the situation. The other singer Marcelito Pomoy publicly criticised that he was put in a similar position. He actually won the shootout vs Angelina in the finals, but didn't win either. A circus show from India called V.Unbeatable won. It's important to know Angelina was in a process of signing a deal with Republic Records at the time so I guess Simon Cowell was aware of that situation when she participated. It could have influenced how far she could get in the finals. Did you listen to her performance "Someone You Loved" she actually did in the AGTtC final show when the results were presented. She did that song with a sand artist, Kseniya Simonova, and the young violinist, Tyler Butler-Figueroa. That performance showed what Angelina could have done in the final. "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" is a very good song by Elton John, but not a song you would compete with in a show. More like a song you would put in your own concert of multiple cover and original songs.
Elton John wrote this and sang it 40 yrs.ago.but this is her own spin on it. I don't have the link but go on you tube and look for 2 songs she wrote . Seventh heaven and Sheild. She was put against 2 others and they performed all at the same time . But I don't know how comes she lost
Gents, AGT decides what songs you sing. She was given this song to perform and she slaps her performance in Simons face for belitteling her. A pro singer who went to AGT told about the not so nice practices of these talent shows, where they already decided who will win. PEACE
You can read about the reason why Angelina did not win here: After 6 years of turning down record labels.Republic Records made her an offer she could not refuse. She is "the highest priority new artist." Her is the link to an interview with her manager / uncle, Michael Astar. musicnorway.no/news/industry-talk-michael-astar/
We're all cracking up that you don't recognize a huge Elton John hit. A lot of Angelina fans are older than you, and appreciate what Angelina reinterprets what to us are classic tunes.

Taking into consideration that: 1. Angelina and her family already knew, before participating in the program, that their chances of winning were seriously diminished due to their decision not to be part of "Simon's meat grinder", under the terms that he they would have liked. 2. That, even so, they decided to enter the contest, because it was a good opportunity for Angelina, to continue taking steps on her path to professionalism. 3. As Angelina put it, she waited many years to appear before Simon, so it was a kind of "to-do" on her mind, since she was very young. 4. That within the innocence and infinite sweetness that lies in AJ's heart, the fact that Simon has shown her how the music business really works, with all its rawness and meaninglessness, must have caused her significant pain and difficult to digest. I think that although this song for sure would not have been the one Angelina would choose to win the contest ... it works very well as a message to the music industry, as Simon represents it. At the end of it all, if we pay close attention to what the lyrics say, we could say that Angelina, yes, was singing on that occasion for Simon.
Eliminated by acrobats? Was it an act of vengeance by Simon because she did not sign up with him? For me, what matters is this: is there in Angelina secret painful failure in part of her soul a deep feeling of rejection, abandonment or lack of love? Sure, there is undoubtedly the aftermath bright side of things that happened to her. But let me tell you this: you never, never forget a moment of soulful and cruel disappointment and hurt that comes in crashing in your young heart, regardless of all the immense success and abundance of love you may enjoy years after. I would surely, purely and simply compare that awful treason and vicious violation of your innocence to rape.
The show, I believe, has much more control than you know, about content and about what happens to each of the participants. I'm so disillusioned with television programs that I don't watch these shows on air. Instead, I watch You Tube videos of these performances, after the fact.
No not after this performance. After someone I loved..which you need to see because it's her best on.AGT. Angelina refused the terms of a recording contract because it basically violated all her rights as an artist. This is why she was cut. SHAME ON YOU THIS IS ELTON THE LEGEND JOHN!!!
Simon made One Direction out of singers whom tried out on the England’s X factor; he put those singer into a group I watch it that’s how they came to be a group and they signed with Simon
Elton John was the original writer and singer of this! She didn’t win but made it to the finals., the finals was the one with her singing, sand lady and boy playing the fiddle or violin 🎻
The reason she didn’t win is because this isn’t a singing competition….it’s a variety show. So you have everything from dancing to magicians and voters are stupid. If this was just a singing competition she wins hands down
None of the contestants on AGT-Champions were required to sign contracts giving anyone control over their careers. They were all winners and known internationally from other contests. Only AGT contestants sign contracts, not AGT-Champions contestants. I really wish people would stop spreading these untruths. AGT and AGT-Champions have enough real issues we can complain about, without making up stuff.
The original artist is Elton John ruclips.net/video/RZ3Bb4UsXhU/видео.html The artist that beat Angelina in this competition was Marcelito Pomoy ruclips.net/video/hcgvYr2nlrk/видео.html
Winning is not the best thing you can do. Their contract is very restrictive and they gain control over your income and everything you do just like any recording contract.
She most likely was never going to win. She wasn’t going to sign with Simon and that was that. He pretty much brought her on almost as a performer. Someone wrote (and I even thought) that she was specifically “given” the Golden Buzzer (not that she didn’t deserve it, so that she wouldn’t get anymore performances on the show. The more the audience saw her the more likely they would really be disgruntled that Angelina didn’t win. Yellow Brick Road wasn’t about do the song to impress anybody at that point. She knew that she wasn’t going to win and that it was because she wouldn’t sign...so if you know the lyrics to the song that she sang, as she sang it, it was really a kiss off to Simon.

Brenda Veselich Simply not true. Other winners have already turned down the contract before.

Simon's look... "I couldn't sign her" If Simon had any brains he would have signed anything Angelina wanted or needed as a contract, just to stay a part of her life. Simon for what ever reason let the "golden goose" get away. I for one am glad she got away, period. Angelina will become the next superstar of the world, as far as I'm concerned she is the 9th wonder of the world. My favorite singer can just about sing anything she wants. Thumbs up fellas. She won the hearts of the world.
To julio@ I agree. Who cares she didn't win . She is the winner of our hearts and she is staying there for ever!!!!!!
As Angelina so prophetically stated, I finally decide that my future lies beyond the Yellow Brick Road (of AGT)! She has not nor has ever needed AGT to be the Greatest Musical Artist of the past and current century💜
Angelina singing this song was brilliant on her part because she turned down Simons offer to sign her up and the song is about pretty much the same thing. If you listen carefully she chuckles at the very end. As if to say "Take That".
Kevin, I totally agree with you on what the chuckle was about. Many people have said this was the wrong song to sing for the final, but it's my understanding the song was picked by Simon. She didn't have time to come up with her own arrangement like she did for Bohemian Rhapsody, so she borrowed Sara Bareilles' version. However, she took it to another level with her orchestral voice & it's my favorite Angelina song so far.
She chuckles after every performance whether live or recorded and I don't know if she even realizes it.
Oh this was a total in your face to Simon, there were specific lines she emphasized that was directed at him and the whole situation.
@@I_scribbles Yep, exactly.
This was her version of Elton John's song. Beautiful. Did you know she won Norway's Got Talent when she was 7? Definitely need to check that out. Her grandmother, whose an artist, introduced blues to her when she was just a baby. She went on AGT knowing she wouldn't win because she wouldn't sign a deal, but it was brilliant to appear on AGT Champions because of all the American exposure she garnered. I hope you continue to explore all the covers she's done and her own original, "Shield".
Love you guys.
Katie Snyder I guess you don’t know there have been quite a few AGT winners that didn’t take a contract. You don’t HAVE to.
Angelina will be famous all over the world and the 5 acts they were supposedly better you'll never hear of them again.
Greg P She lost because of the Superfan BS. AGT needs to get rid of that.
Greg P Jeez oh man. Didn’t you watch any AGT at all. Do I really have to explain it to you? Google it.
Gus Erland Here, you lazy prick. This link explains the Superfan system. www.distractify.com/p/who-are-the-superfans-on-agt. Basically 50 ppl were selected after an application process to be a Superfan. 1 person represented 1 of the states. They decided the winner. And out of 50 ppl, if you get a bunch that don’t care too much for singers/music, they’re not gonna vote for any singer (no matter how good).
Frankie K Dont you think the producers of the show can «decide» who win regardless of those superfans? Put it this way....Who do you think picked these «superfans»? Angelina was never going to win cause they wouldnt allow it, since she didnt want to sign and get tied to a contract with AGT afterwards.
Gus Erland Lol. There isn’t evidence. Because AGT doesn’t provide any. But I believe my version over all the idiots out there that believe Simon Cowell (the billionaire) was salty about not being able to sign her to his label, so he fixed the competition against her, Marcelito (no problems there) and Diana ( no problems there either). Or is it just stupid ppl being given the power of millions perhaps? You decide. I myself, have a 152 I.Q., graduated college, and can figure most things out on my own. While, admittedly, 13% of the population on the planet are more intelligent than I am, I will still draw my own conclusions.
They gave her a choice of two songs. She did it her way, it was originally done by Elton John and it sounded completely different. Simon said she did the unexpected when she sung this song this way and congratulated for taking the risk. It was fantastic, also her age here is 13.
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ It should be obvious to anyone who listens to Angelina sing that her not "winning" AGT: The Champions had absolutely nothing to do with her incredible talent, and what an amazing singer she is. We'll just leave it at that. I agree with Fedor Ivanov's advice to you about how to improve your reactions, by the way.
THE WAY SHE SUNG IT, HOW WAS IT SAFE? LOL
SO TRUE
She knew she wouldn't win because of the contract crap. So, AGT got great ratings and Angelina got millions of new fans. Fair deal.
The song is from an Elton John album of the same name. Covered by many, but not like Angie.
Did you notice when Angelina sang "I didn't sign with you" the video cut to Simon Cowell.
They do love to create as much drama as possible on AGT.
She wore yellow that night not because of the song title, but as a nod to and show of respect to the original artist Elton John as yellow is his favorite color.( from interview on a Norway TV show)
She sing this song knowing she would be continuing the show.
The championship version of AGT is always won by circus acts. AGT controls what people are allowed to sing on here so they can control who actually wins the show. She could have sung anything and won the show if they had let her. Try listening to Angelina sing 'It's a Man's World' (live at 12 years old) ruclips.net/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/видео.html
The music industry can be wicked and cruel not to mention the countless artists that have been distroyed in the past. That's why many of Angelina's fans were relieved that she had lost, fearing she would fall into the grips of what could eventually destroy her. Sometimes not winning is actually the win.
Hi guys. One of my many many favorites of Angelina's!!!!! Thanks for reacting to our little mirecle.( little in age)!!!!!
Elton John, Yellow Brick Road. I think it was actually in Angelina's best interest to come in 2nd or so. I've heard she's been signed to a recording company (Republic?). Whatever she does, it's because she wants to and that her family is certain she can do it safely. Nothing but love for this child and her people.
She didn't want to pick a safe song. She already knew she's not going to win the "competition". She was there to show up her talent before making a contract with some record company. Now virtually everyone knows her and she's going to be a huge superstar. You know these talent shows are fake. The producer decides who's going to win. Votes don't matter and AGT Champions votes matter even less. She was already too good to the show. She just fulfilled her childhood dream to perform to Simon Cowell.
There are too many unknowns. How much of this competition was in Angelina's hands, how much was dictated? The songs (after Bohemian Rhapsody)? The yellow pantsuit (where she had a t-shirt of her face underneath)? The requirements regarding being in the top 5? Who are the "super fans from all 50 states"? What instructions were they given, and by whom? What was the arrangement between AGT and her manager? Could she win? In the end, Angelina was the actual winner, because I and many others listen to her music and I do not even know the name of the act that won AGT.
When Angelina was 6 yr old, traveling in Iran with her family, she met an orphan living on the streets who had scars on her feet & no shoes. They talked for a long while. Angelina gave the girl her shoes and vowed to perform barefoot until all children have shoes. Then she published a book about the encounter and often does benefit concerts - now having raised over 12 million Euros for children's charities. Thanks for your reactions!
It was absolutely the best song choice for finals. But only if you come from a place of having lived with original version by Elton John, and lived through the song's history, and know the life story of Elton John would a person understand the genius in choosing this song. She really made this song her own. And the judges already loved the song, for literally decades. Not the safe choice... the right choice. I love you guys and appreciate your channel so much! ♥️🎶
The whole AGT Champions was a bunch of bunk. She crushed it in three performances ( be sure to check out the third) and literally made the show. The winners were 30- 40 acrobats from India. Really? One Angelina fan claimed she got 70% of the audience survey as best contestant. I don't know about the accuracy of that comment but it sounds right to me and I saved the performances of the days she was a participant. That she didn't place in the top five made AGT a joke, if you doubt it check out the other acts ( and I do mean acts).
In the end, AGT and Angelina both won big time. She saved their AGT season and they got her a couple of million new fans who had not yet heard of her. She is a star and just signed a contract with Republic Records, the label for Taylor Swift, Arianna Grande and the late Amy Winehouse. As I understand it this song was AGT's choice not Angelina's. Hard to believe you don't know Elton John's biggest hit.( Benny and the Jets may be bigger)
Robert Tague Tiny Dancer and Candle in the Wind are bigger hits then either GYR and BatJ.
I remember voting for Angelina on the internet for what they called "Who had the best "Golden Buzzer" At the time I voted (days later) she was ahead at 79%
@@leebrn8588 Where was that at? Sux I missed it. I would’ve voted Angelina too. AGT’s 50superfan votes that counted for their entire state was BS. I want to see the I.Q.’s of these ppl. They voted a a dance troupe more talented. They are awesome, but they don’t have the talent of this 13 turned 14 y/o. They could not dance anywhere near good enough to beat her when they were same age. There isn’t a 14 y/o dance troupe on the planet that could compete with her on a talent level.
1st, bunch of acrobats won the whole show. 2nd, You're correct about saying that the song choice isn't really for competition type but what I disagree is when you said that she was like took it too safe, no she did not. She took a risk with that song. She made that old boring song breath a new life. If only she wanted to play safe she could have chose her most viewed performances on RUclips and run away with the title. But Angelina is not like that... Music is an art, it's all about sincerity... And she maybe wanted the people to see what artistry is all about. And that's one of the many reasons why she always has my utmost respect. This performance is nothing but a masterpiece. And some people failed to see that.
But everything is a bit clear now. As what her uncle/ manager said... Angelina was presented a special contract by AGT just for her to appear on their show. And who knows what kind of deal is that. And I'm guessing.... AGT badly wanted Angelina to their show. Angelina refuses a binding contract which comes along in participating to AGT. AGT finally agreed to not include the binding contract but in return Angelina can't win the show. All Angelina wanted is a platform to launch her into the whole America. Win-win for both side perhaps.
And there you have it.
Ulyses Labajo So is Angelina a liar? Why did she say she “hoped she could win”? You do not have to take the contract to perform in Vegas fir a year. Grace Van derwahl didn’t. Neither did Darci Lynn.
@@frankiek2269 that's why I said I'm guessing...😉 And secondly Angelina's situation is so different from the other two artists you mentioned. I based my take heavily on the words of her uncle/manager in a recent article posted. He said there that for the longest time AGT is trying to get Angelina to sing for their show.
Excerpt from the article..
"Another interesting point in the interview is that Angelina Jordan's appearance in "America's Got Talent" hung in the balance for a long time because the program is bound by long-term contracts that in the worst case can force a participant into a special management and record company.
For Michael Astar, this was completely out of the question.
- Then it took a while and they contacted me again to ask if she would sing on their show. Then I persuaded them to give me a contract where Angelina was completely released from any agreement if she performs, he says to Music Norway."
When she said she hope she could win the show..it was not a lie. "Maybe" she already knew... But her goal in that whole AGT is bigger than winning it all. Again, Im maybe wrong. 😅
Ulyses Labajo I had read that article too already. Someone else posted the link somewhere. What is a longtime, considering AGT didn’t do a champions edition until January of 2019. She’s been on a lot of radars since she won in ‘14. It’s quite possible that AGT has changed the contract to appear on the show because ppl have turned it down in the past perhaps.
@@frankiek2269 not all people/talents can turn down a contract from show as big as AGT. Unless you already have a name of your own and AGT is the one chasing you... And I think that has been the case with Angelina. AGT doesn't only mean The Champions edition. They might already pursuing her to join their regular season even before the Champions came to fruition.
There is some talk that the singers did not get to choose their own songs, or that they could choose from two or three that were predetermined . I know she would have sung something else on her own
hey kids... USE GOOGLE to find the original singer 😂❤
She wasn't eliminated, it was the final... you can't get eliminated from the final, she just didn't make top 5 (the travesty of that is something else).
Also, OneDirection was never on America's got Talent, they were on XFactor UK, they are British.
It was because of the Superfan crap. Stupid system. Hope they get rid of it.
Rant mode: on
Here are the top 5:
1. Acrobats from India with a nice back story. They did a lot of jumping and flying through the air. You know, like acrobats do.
2. A husband and wife acrobat team made famous by the fact that husband accidentally dropped wife (or she missed him, or not - hard to tell) from (?) 10-20 ft) in one of their AGT performances. It was scary to watch but they still got moved on to the next round. They were actually a very good act and were definitely my favorite of all the circus acts on the show.
3 . A 12 year old violin player (you saw him in your 2nd reaction, to “Someone You Loved”). He has an Inspiring back story, a nice personally and a winning smile. A really nice kid and a good violin player, but he was propelled to that position by his story, not his violin skills. For the record, I do love his sound and the way he slows things down, but *this* is a violin prodigy. www.theguardian.com/music/video/2018/apr/23/australian-violin-prodigy-10-named-youngest-ever-winner-at-menuhin-competition-video
4. He’s a tenor! He’s a falsetto soprano! He’s two in one! Dramatically reducing your wedding singer costs! Real sopranos are so pricey. The only problem is you’ll never hear them both singing at the same time with us. He actually is a good singer, otherwise I would’ve been tempted to classify him with the circus acts.
5. Sandou Trio Russian Bar - Another amazing circus act. Of the kind you can see in circuses all over the world.
Angelina does something that the vast majority of the 7 1/2 billion people on this planet have also done. Sing. It’s my opinion that Angelina sings better than all those other 7.5 million people. But even if you think that’s overstating it (an argument can certainly be made for that) she’s close enough to the pinnacle that what she does, especially for her age, is far more impressive, even if it doesn’t involve spikes or flames or unplanned drops from 20 feet in the air.
And there you have it. Angelina was essentially tied in sixth place with four other acts; two dance acts (one being a silhouette dance act, very creative), a singer/dancer/accordionist who was a train wreck in the finals, and a dog act with an adorable young German girl as the trainer.
The fact that Angelina Jordan didn’t win is disappointing but didn’t surprise me at all given the kinds of acts she was competing against. He doesn’t come down to who has the most talent. It comes down to who the super fans would like to go watch perform. As much as I love Tyler, the violinist, the fact that she finished out if the top five and he was third is literally an outrage and you’ll never find better proof that the “super fan“ voting system is an unmitigated disaster. It guarantees that you get neither the best act nor the most popular act. It requires some knowledge to evaluate a singing act. Superfans don’t have that. It doesn’t take any skill at all to know that a lady springing off a board being held by a couple burly dudes over a flaming bed of spikes looks impressive.
Rant mode: off
And I COMPLETELY agree with you about the song choice. It was too similar to Bohemian Rhapsody. Very different songs but sung in a very similar style using a very similar voice with similar vocal effects like to the heavy is of runs/melismas, and the obligatory belting out. She has such incredible diversity in her stylistic range I think she could’ve done something more “impressive” to show off a different side of her talent. Even leaving the rumors aside, I do strongly suspect that this song choice was influenced if not outright dictated by Simon or AGT Champs. But I don’t have any proof of that.
As rants go, this was about my favorite !
Gotta agree with Robert. This was a really good rant. And, you covered the *relevant* facts better than anyone else who has commented on any reaction channel to date. Always a pleasure to read your comments, David.
Hi guys I like you two...she was not bl eliminated.. you are correct on some details...she had won but would not sign away the rights to her music and chose not to win tho she knew she had won... Joyce in Tahoe
The company who owns AGT owns just about everything related, internationally, and they are not speaking to this issue, but it is speculated that AGT gave their standard contract offer. Of course Angelina Jordan is no mere contest winner, pining for a slave contract from AGT. Her worth is unimaginable, and so I believe she turned them down and walked. Her uncle is handling her, and obviously he is too smart to take an AGT contract. And, it is interesting that you mentioned a boy band. Those are notorious for contracts that pay something like minimum wage to their pauper boys, who only make real money after the contract expires and they get liberated from it.
No need for speculations anymore. AGT may be silent out of principle, but her manager is more than willing to speak about it: musicnorway.no/news/industry-talk-michael-astar/
Gary w. Actually, boy band or regular bands, and also rap artists, they only make their real money from touring. Until the contract is up. Mostly, they stick it out until they have enough of a following to renegotiate or start their own label. Angelina signed with Republic Records, the label that leveraged everything to support Taylor Swift. That guy (can’t remember his name without Googling), is known for letting artists “do their own thing”. That, I believe, is why she and her uncle decided to sign with them.
@@frankiek2269 Could you elaborate on their support for Taylor Swift or point us to some links? That would be interesting.
The thing with many contest winners is, you never hear of them again. The label talks them into their idea of style and it utterly fails. Happened e.g. with Janet Devlin (X-factor). Only after she got rid of those people did she begun to have some measure of success.
@@yves2932 I’m not doing the work for you. If you want to know, research it yourself. It’s easy. Google, “search TS and the guy that signed her and put everything on the line to back her”. She was his only asset. And she was only 15 at the time. That is true belief in someone.
Good reaction. Unfortunately you were incorrect. If you listen to Simon at the end of the song he stated that he loved the song and was happy she didn't play it safe and he would remember this song for years and years. Listen to "A Man's World " by Rick James. Thanks again for your reaction.
This song was written by Elton John and his co-songwriter Bernie Taupin, approximately 1973; however, Angelina sang a modified rendition of Sara Bareilles's version from 7/15/2013 YT upload. Here is Sara's link for referencing only : ruclips.net/video/Ozd2ja7mAgM/видео.html I still find Angelina's vocal tones much more pleasing to my ears.
Best performance ever
You don't need to worry about this young lady gentlemen! At the ripe old age of 14, she's just signed with Republic Records (one of the 4-5 largest labels in the world). She didn't need to win AGT, she was already well on her way by the age of 6-7.
She was eliminated from the competition but she is a real winner as she is the best EVER
Hello friends, rumors say she did not win because she did not want to sign a contract with Simon's record company so they did not let her win the competition. She knew this before she sang this song and it can be seen that her energies are different from her first appearance in agt. it oll about the 💰 You have not seen anything yet and you alone will come to the conclusion how good it really is in the future ...😉
I have watched 2 of your reactions to Angelina Jordan's songs. You both bring a lot of honesty, enthusiasm, to your reaction videos. Myself, and anyone else who has watched your reactions, then have 2 choices... subscribe and continue to watch more of your reactions, or leave, not to return again. Because there are 100's of RUclipsrs like yourselves, also have YT reactions channels. I was going to just leave, and go watch other Reactors whose videos have more "substance", and information about why and what they "got" from watching the videos. But I remember when I was at the beginning of my photography career.
Many professional photographers with various levels of experience, offered some of their wisdom/experience to me on how to improve my photographic skills. No better way to learn anything than walking down the path that someone else has been down before you. Their wisdom was priceless and catapulted my knowledge of my career!
So, I read a lot of comments on this reaction. And the #1 comment being repeated over & over by others is... volume of the video TOO LOW. And your two voices much louder than the video you are doing a reaction to. I agree with them. I have the best headphones money can buy. And I could barely even tell what was being said in the video you two are watching, and reacting to...
I will leave you with this. "If one keeps doing what they are doing, they will keep getting what they got". Or they can learn from others who walked the same path, before them. Seek out people's YT channels who are further down the "reaction road" than the two of you. I have taken the liberty to show you a YT reactor whose channel is very good. Setting, lighting, ambiance, the excellence of information she has gathered from the video, and how she shares her reaction to her audience. Watch her reaction here.... ruclips.net/video/3taU4NqrzMM/видео.html
KEEP GETTNG BETTER!
The winner of AGT Champions was an Indian dance troupe called V Unbeatable.
As addressed in the comments below, she knew she was not going to win without an AGT contract. So she stayed true to herself, which is so Angelina. And if you listen to the lyrics, they are a very appropriate message to AGT ("I didn't sign up with you
. I'm not a present for your friends to open. .... Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road"). Meanwhile, she received tremendous exposure in the US and has now signed with Republic Records..
You 2, nice reaction. This was her 2nd performance. Her 1st was Bohemian Rhapsody. The Finale was the 3 people together & they were used as a distraction. I explained it all on you 2nd over all reaction. Angie knew she wasn't going to win after the 1st song. Listen to the words on this song & Angie changed a word from "didn't sign up for you" to "didn't sing up with you"
This song is an Elton John song from an Album of the same name back in 1973. I remember when it came out. Good album. Angie killed this song. You guys have some reactions to Angie now, could you please put her on your play list on you channel, so some of us can binge watch. Thank you. :-)
She had to pick a song from a list of ones the show had the rights to.
Just fyi.
Even with that restriction Angelina found a way to make it hers and make a point as well.
Billy Woods They are AGT. They can get any song they want. They have the budget. Not at all like American Idol season 1 when they couldn’t afford any newer songs.
@@frankiek2269 Then I don't understand why they keep picking the same songs over and over.
Billy Woods Actually I don’t know why they pick the same songs, either.. Probably just songs they are comfortable with already. You don’t really want to have to learn a song in one week. That leaves all kinds of unpleasant possibilities, such as, forgetting the words, etc..! So they probably pick songs that they, like us, have all heard a thousand times.
All the judges knew that Angelina had refused to sign the SyCo contract, and knew she couldn't win, so it was decided to give her a Golden Buzzer in lieu of...
SIR ELTON JOHN !!! Love you guys ♥️
I like to think that Angelina learned from her mom after her incredible performance of Bohemian Rhapsody, that she would not be able to win the contest (no contract signed). Angelina upon learning that selected this song for the finals (only my guess) since she knew now that her future truly does lie Beyond the Yellow Brick Road (talent contests).
I think the singers in AGTtC weren't allowed to pick the songs they wanted. They got a list to choose from from the organizers. Some say Angelina wasn't very happy about what she had to pick from, but she definitely did the best she could from the situation.
The other singer Marcelito Pomoy publicly criticised that he was put in a similar position. He actually won the shootout vs Angelina in the finals, but didn't win either. A circus show from India called V.Unbeatable won.
It's important to know Angelina was in a process of signing a deal with Republic Records at the time so I guess Simon Cowell was aware of that situation when she participated. It could have influenced how far she could get in the finals.
Did you listen to her performance "Someone You Loved" she actually did in the AGTtC final show when the results were presented. She did that song with a sand artist, Kseniya Simonova, and the young violinist, Tyler Butler-Figueroa. That performance showed what Angelina could have done in the final. "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" is a very good song by Elton John, but not a song you would compete with in a show. More like a song you would put in your own concert of multiple cover and original songs.
She didn't want to sign up with Simon.
Elton John wrote this and sang it 40 yrs.ago.but this is her own spin on it.
I don't have the link but go on you tube and look for 2 songs she wrote . Seventh heaven and Sheild. She was put against 2 others and they performed all at the same time . But I don't know how comes she lost
👍😊❤️
Elton john sung it at very old song in 70
Watching this reaction makes me feel old. I knew this song by Elton John back in like 1979...
It was safe for Simon Cowell. If she was allowed to pick something killer, then it would have been more difficult for AGT to have her lose.
Gents, AGT decides what songs you sing. She was given this song to perform and she slaps her performance in Simons face for belitteling her. A pro singer who went to AGT told about the not so nice practices of these talent shows, where they already decided who will win. PEACE
You can read about the reason why Angelina did not win here: After 6 years of turning down record labels.Republic Records made her an offer she could not refuse. She is "the highest priority new artist." Her is the link to an interview with her manager / uncle, Michael Astar. musicnorway.no/news/industry-talk-michael-astar/
We're all cracking up that you don't recognize a huge Elton John hit.
A lot of Angelina fans are older than you, and appreciate what Angelina reinterprets what to us are classic tunes.

Whoever said she got eliminated after this was incorrect
This is a famous song from the 70's sung by Elton John
Angelina designs all of her clothes
She Knew She Wouldn’t Win Because Of The Contract! & This Is An Elton John Classic & This Is The Greatest Performance!!
Taking into consideration that:
1. Angelina and her family already knew, before participating in the program, that their chances of winning were seriously diminished due to their decision not to be part of "Simon's meat grinder", under the terms that he they would have liked.
2. That, even so, they decided to enter the contest, because it was a good opportunity for Angelina, to continue taking steps on her path to professionalism.
3. As Angelina put it, she waited many years to appear before Simon, so it was a kind of "to-do" on her mind, since she was very young.
4. That within the innocence and infinite sweetness that lies in AJ's heart, the fact that Simon has shown her how the music business really works, with all its rawness and meaninglessness, must have caused her significant pain and difficult to digest.
I think that although this song for sure would not have been the one Angelina would choose to win the contest ... it works very well as a message to the music industry, as Simon represents it.
At the end of it all, if we pay close attention to what the lyrics say, we could say that Angelina, yes, was singing on that occasion for Simon.
Simon probably picked the song for her!
Elton John sang it it's his. She was 13 when she sang Bohemian Rhapsody.
Eliminated by acrobats? Was it an act of vengeance by Simon because she did not sign up with him?
For me, what matters is this: is there in Angelina secret painful failure in part of her soul a deep feeling of rejection, abandonment or lack of love?
Sure, there is undoubtedly the aftermath bright side of things that happened to her.
But let me tell you this: you never, never forget a moment of soulful and cruel disappointment and hurt that comes in crashing in your young heart, regardless of all the immense success and abundance of love you may enjoy years after.
I would surely, purely and simply compare that awful treason and vicious violation of your innocence to rape.
She should have be the winner
original singer, songwriter is Sir Elton John
The show, I believe, has much more control than you know, about content and about what happens to each of the participants. I'm so disillusioned with television programs that I don't watch these shows on air. Instead, I watch You Tube videos of these performances, after the fact.
No not after this performance.
After someone I loved..which you need to see because it's her best on.AGT.
Angelina refused the terms of a recording contract because it basically violated all her rights as an artist.
This is why she was cut.
SHAME ON YOU THIS IS ELTON THE LEGEND JOHN!!!
Simon made One Direction out of singers whom tried out on the England’s X factor; he put those singer into a group I watch it that’s how they came to be a group and they signed with Simon
Angel is now signed with REPUBLIC RECORDS. Schoolboy look up .... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodbye_Yellow_Brick_Road
I don’t believe u guys , you don’t know the original of this song. I love A, J
Guys, ever hear of a little guy named ELTON JOHN lololol? He is only a massive legend!
Elton John was the original writer and singer of this! She didn’t win but made it to the finals., the finals was the one with her singing, sand lady and boy playing the fiddle or violin 🎻
Elton John made it famous. But this is her own version.
This was from Elton John; and you still need to lose Sponge Bob.

One Direction was X Factor UK. Not AGT.
The reason she didn’t win is because this isn’t a singing competition….it’s a variety show. So you have everything from dancing to magicians and voters are stupid. If this was just a singing competition she wins hands down
She was covering Elton John.
Elton John, Guys! :)
They have no idea this is an Elton John song.....I guess I'm just old.
None of the contestants on AGT-Champions were required to sign contracts giving anyone control over their careers. They were all winners and known internationally from other contests. Only AGT contestants sign contracts, not AGT-Champions contestants. I really wish people would stop spreading these untruths. AGT and AGT-Champions have enough real issues we can complain about, without making up stuff.
She wouldn’t sign the contract giving all rights to Simon. Thank god because she now has been signed to record company. Elton John song.
The ones who should win on AGT never do so sad
contract is the really reason she didn't win
The original artist is Elton John ruclips.net/video/RZ3Bb4UsXhU/видео.html

Yellow Brick Road... Elton John!
If I'm not mistaken this song was assigned to her? So not by own choice.
Yellow brick road is an Elton John song
Winning is not the best thing you can do. Their contract is very restrictive and they gain control over your income and everything you do just like any recording contract.
This was an Elton John song
She most likely was never going to win. She wasn’t going to sign with Simon and that was that. He pretty much brought her on almost as a performer. Someone wrote (and I even thought) that she was specifically “given” the Golden Buzzer (not that she didn’t deserve it, so that she wouldn’t get anymore performances on the show. The more the audience saw her the more likely they would really be disgruntled that Angelina didn’t win. Yellow Brick Road wasn’t about do the song to impress anybody at that point. She knew that she wasn’t going to win and that it was because she wouldn’t sign...so if you know the lyrics to the song that she sang, as she sang it, it was really a kiss off to Simon.
