As usual, a great reaction and interesting comments on one of Angelina's best performances last year. Thanks so much for being one of her biggest supporters.... Just a little info: Rob Christie, on the piano, is the Studio Director of Republic Records in LA. An accomplished pianist and guitar player who is also a 2 time Grammy winner. He's got decades of experience in the music industry... It's hard to tell looking in from the outside. But, it sure appears that Angelina and Rob have a great working relationship. I expect that if Republic weren't a good environment for her, she wouldn't be there. And, I think Rob is a big part of making things work for Angelina. He appears to be a soft spoken, old school, true professional. As part of the Universal Music Umbrella, Angelina has all the opportunity and resources available that any rising star could wish for. But, in the end, it's the individuals she's working closely with that reslly matter. It's my guess she's found a good home.
I Think And Hope You're right about the environment and people around her. As you said , looking in from where we are things seem as good as they could be at this point. Thank You for your informative comment as usual. Peace Kindness and Love My Friend and Brother Steve
Awesome reaction and Elvis was a man of Super Faith! Angelina to me has all the Attributes Elvis had and is working on her Showmanship by watching Comedies. I believe she is going to be incorporating in her performances, for she has a great sense of humor as Elvis did. She doesn't move around like him, but to me she moves around with her voice as he used his body movements. She has the Karisma, Kindness, Manners, Giving, Warm Heart, Love of Humanity,and full of Faith, God Bless!
I Think in the next few years after Angelinas' Album comes out, She will rise to Icon Status and Be The Beacon of Light we all need . Someone good to emulate. Angelina has changed my life for the better. She doesn't have to do anything, Just Sing. The Rest Is Natural to her. Elvis was a showman , the dark side of being a celebrity has taken far too many Great Talents. We all need to protect Angelina. Many of the greats who have not navigated the celebrity had a few influences close to them that steered them down a dark path. I don't know why. Doctors or Aides who got drugs and provided the means to destruction. Other times it's just the Lifestyle. It's a tremendous shame. I Hope and Pray Angelinas' closest people keep her shielded from the bad things and give her sound guidance as she moves into Adulthood at the same time her Celebrity hits never before levels. It's a lot for anyone to deal with. It seems Angelina has a Great Support group of mostly family that have brought her this far. Pray for the Best. She Has a Strong Character and Great Confidence Plus all the Positives of Love Kindness Humility . I Believe she will be fine. Peace , Love and Kindness Steve
Absolutely what I expected. She made this her own song and she did it beautifully. I noticed Juliet sitting there she is going to be as beautiful as Angelina one day. Elvis' version is great, and it still is one of my favorites. but Angelina's version is equally great and is definitely her own. When I first heard this song I loved it and put it at #3 on my playlist (Angelina Jordan Playlist by Terry M.), about midday I moved it up to #1. The main thing that changed my mind was the power in her voice. I'm not talking about loudness I'm talking about the power she has regardless of how loud or soft she sings. This is a quality that I haven't heard from anyone in my 83 years. This voice has become so unique that it is totally unmatched. Her phrasing in the last bridge is great. And she got Elvis’s ‘Oh Yea’ at the end of the song. The pianist is Rob Christie (3 Grammys), he is the head of the Republic Record department that is responsible for Angelina and other singers. The two small kids are her uncle Mike's kids, and the older girl is Angelina's sister. If you haven’t already reacted to her latest studio version of Whitney Houston's version you should - here’s the link - th-cam.com/video/iX0g99jN26U/w-d-xo.html 🙂
Elvis and AJ - the two greatest in my lifetime - and I've seen them both live on stage. I belive Elvis will return to the building to hear Angelina sing !!!
He May Already Be Front row center or Backstage. Maybe standing Next to Angelina in This Video. There seems to be a connection between Angelina, the greats of the past and the Audience that surpasses any "normal" state. So You saw Elvis and Angelina , Now you're my Hero!!! I'll bet not many have seen both Live. No wonder you know so much, you've witnessed much Greatness. It's rubbed off on you Lars. Kindness Peace and Love walk with you My Friend and Brother Steve
The Norwegian barefoot princess now living in LA is the best young female vocalist we have today - Now 17 years old. Angelina sings better than already established world stars. No one can stop Angelina from becoming a world star. That's just how it is! Her first album will be released in 2023 with Republic Records. Over the years, she will become a legend for the great moments in the world. She has plenty of time. Remember she is just 17 tears old, which we forget when we see her perform. Republic Records who should also be praised for appreciating this unique talent.
Love your reactions. You say what I would say. My thoughts on this performance. Power & Pure Velvet Perfection! This vocal arrangement was all Angelina, I have no doubt in collaboration with a stellar team including Rob Christie & Mery Zamani her Grandmother. She is a Master Storyteller. The video is shot in the same Antique Store that she did 'My Funny Valentine' on Valentine’s Day. I believe it is in LA near her home. I believe the girls in the video represent Angelina's Journey from infancy to present through the classics of music history. Thus the Antique store, She grew up studying and performing these classics. That is Rob Christie on piano. Sister Juliette and a couple of Uncle Michael's Babies. I think that makes them cousins not nieces. Full Black Leather Bodysuit, the guitar from his concert in 68 and the hair a homage to Priscilla Presley. Yeah! She can bring tears to your eyes. I base my interpretation on my knowledge of Angelina's journey from an 18 month old little girl singing a "classic" of music history 'I Will Always Love You' . She has been listening to these classics on repeat on YOUTube since then under the guidance and inspiration of her Grandmother Mery Zamani. She has been performing these classics since her first time in studio at 6 yrs old.. She has continued this journey through her 1st introduction to the world with her "Classic'" 'Gloomy Sunday’ and following with her many performances at her many Jazz Festivals, TV performances, Concerts, and charity events, studio recordings and practice sessions at home accompanied or not. The location in the Antique store represents these classics (like the furniture) of another era. To me she portrays wonder at all these classics surrounding her. as she has travelled this road. Her tribute to Elvis is at her present age, today, each stage represented by her cousins and sister and ending with Angelina herself on the couch still admiring all this history surrounding her. The beautiful rendition of the song, and other tributes are in the leather outfit, Guitar and hair a tribute to Priscilla. Just my interpretation but it makes the most sense to me. ♥👣👸🏻
How do you get that little line over the O to distinguish that ? Oh Lee , Thanks for the comment . Peace and Love and Kindness be with you My Friend Steve
Angelina is in this video the female Elvis (Elvina) Steve 😂she is stunning the look is amazing the Hair from Priscilla the red Guitar from Elvis 1968 comeback the leather outfit the same how Elvis the Chandelier as Background beautiful and her slower tempo and her smooth emotional,warm depth,rich,and soulful voice is out of this world 🌍 she makes her own song and that is for me a artist!! Another masterpiece from Angel 😇 barefoot 🦶 Princess and Queen of Jazz 🎙🎷🎺🎸🎼I loved id ❤❤great comments my friend and brother Angel 😇✌️🙏❤️😇👍🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭👋🏻🙋♂️
Roger always abundant with praise for Angelina. I Praise you for that My Friend. And your kind and encouraging words for me are a Bright spot in my Day. Thank You So Much , Kindness , Peace and Love Be with you always Your Brother Steve
So Powerful here and yet so easy for her to do and control. A Natural Gift to us all. Thanks again for your always welcome comments. Brother Friend Kindness Peace and Love Steve
Masterpiece is 100% correct. So is I Put A Spell On You and Bohemian Rhapsody. She has many more that could be put into that category, Wicked Game comes to mind. Some people say hind sight is 20-20. I say it just gives us time to better analyze things. Elvis is called the king of rock and roll. Why? He was not the first, he never wrote a hit song, his voice was very powerful, but did not have a wide range, and various other things that would make him special. What he was was a preacher, a person who could make you listen to what he had to say in a way that you could not resist. The second thing he did was transfix your eyes so that you followed every move he made. A total performer. Dimash has some of these qualities plus a range only animals can hear. But, would you turn down the lights and listen to a whole album while contemplating your misspent youth, or while trying to be romantic with your special one? Elvis was a performer. Angelina is a musical genius empath.
Your are a Master of Words my Friend. You observe and are able to pick out the important things then relate them to me and others. Your way of explaining this is concise and 100% accurate. Angelina is special in ways others aren't. I believe it's because it actually is who she is. Not an act or performance. It's really her in her Natural State. Purity of Heart and Should that emanates to us through her Voice and presence . Just a thought. Peace and Kindness and Love , The Angelina Way Be with You Thank you Ron For Being You, Ron Steve
She really started with a "BANG" on this one. Not her usual approach, but then an Elvis tribute should get special attention. I thought when I first saw this perhaps that strong open was yet another Tribute to Elvis who was a Masterful performer. I also think this is yet another Masterpiece in every way. Angelinas' commitment to pay homage to her influences is another reason we Love her like we do. Angelina is Special. Thanks Navroze My Brother and Friend Kindness Peace and Love Steve

I like strawberries, but I hate most squash and pumpkin pie. My dad would not eat watermelon. We are all weird.😢
Yup I think You're right HaHa !!! Thanks for the comment tcvan1959. Peace, Kindness Love Steve
This is a original or a later copy of a swedish Hagström Viking Ii guitar which Elvis used at his LA shows 1968 -
Sven , you know a lot. my Friend. Thank you for clearing up that question . Peace Kindness and Love be with you Friend and Brother Steve
The first 'Ohh' is a body-blow, or should I say 'brain-blow' from which it's impossible to find one's feet,if you're a listener.
