Some reactors call Angelina "The velvet queen" because of her soft interpretations. This was very obvious in this mashup,. The mere power of Adele was neutralized by Angelinas soft but powerful voice, and guess who brought out emotions? Angelina of course.
This is a marvel and a masterpiece. We have to remember that Adele is a 30-year-old woman who possibly sang this at 25, and Angelina is a 15-year-old girl. Adele wrote this because she is experienced the memories of love. Angelina has not even experienced this part of life, yet she can Express the emotion as if she has. She is in reality still a child. This is her gift in understanding the human condition. Adele is a legendary World singer and Angelina is still just an aspiring artist. And the marvel is that Angelina has given Adele a run for her money! Not only does Angelina keep on par with Adele, but in many areas she exceeds her. As you mentioned, I agree that Angelina's voice is warmer, has more expressiveness, utilizes her jazz tones and soft runs while Adele is a little more sterile for lack of a better word. Don't get me wrong, Adele is a phenomenal singer, but we have proof here that everything we have known about Angelina not only is true, but is even above our wildest expectations. This is the beginning of Angelina really coming into her own. On a different note, no pun intended, you asked if Angelina played an instrument. She actually plays four including the piano! This is a song you may want to react to called Wicked Game which I believe she recorded a couple of years ago. She plays the piano and sings in this video. th-cam.com/video/5IAMF4FDfw4/w-d-xo.html
after decades and decades finally we can hear the difference ,,,,,the best voices (technically ) we adored and praised,,,,, now they fade away next to Angelina's magic touch ,,,,,any cover she does ,,,,,,she owns it and magically, she not only understand it but makes us believe it sometimes even for the first time ,,,,,,,we are so blessed,,,,
A duet please ❤ Would be fantastic! If i wore to choose, i prefer Angelinas version because of the richer tone in her voice and the emotions pouring out... it hits me harder in my soul. Yes, front and center on AJ concert for sure ❤ selling tissues outside is a sure winner 🤣🤣
Empty of words to describe her extraordinary texture - Except I do not think it is possible to sing this song more beautifully. NOTE! You must listen to Angelina on her own singing this song live its magical
you all probably dont give a shit but does anyone know a method to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot my account password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!
@Yousef Antonio Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
I wasn’t sure if Adele could hold her own in this mashup but she did. IMHO Angelina is the best and most versatile singer today. Thank you both for your reactions and insights.
Angelina is a super talented singer for sure. But don't underestimate all the practice she already has in her young life. There are thousands and thousands of hours of singing behind the level she is at. She said on time that singing is like breathing to her. She has sacrificed a lot in her childhood to become where she is. One of the best vocalists in the world. At the age of 15. Just remarkable. Thanks for reacting and following Angelina👏
Me too...she can cover and own a song but who will be able to cover an Angelina song??? Like somebody said in a comment. Anybody covering Angelina would be on a MISSION IMPOSSIBLE!!
Beautiful reaction! I'm sure you will watch the solo performances too! It's so special to see Angelina sing it too! I wonder how Adele looks at this performance! Is it a tribute and an honor, or sheer competition? For sure she has more power in her voice, but the runs of Angelina, the emotion, my God, the run in the second part (Tell me ...) it's like Stevie Wonder came in ... (which would be great to have a duet with too)
This video from Phillip is a great job but no comparison to Angelina's cover video. I'm not sure if you've watched Angelina's video before, if not you are missing out on something great. ✌️😎✌️💯 *AJ* 💯👣
love you two, Angelina is just ,at 15 just unbelievable , she is toe to toe , ( and even in my opinion greater at her young age than Adele), with the perceived greatest singer, at Adele's age Angelina singing prowess is hard to fathom.
Any rendition performed by Angelina Jordan is a masterpiece, because the way she transform music to beautiful melody full of harmony, plus the softness of her tone voice, and at the same time adding the strength of her vocals in the right moment; plus her vocal fry, runs, colors, tenderness....Yes and putting all this together in the right place (and you bet she knows very well how to do it) she obtains an art piece like no one else .That is what it makes her unique, and because of this ,Angelina and Only Angelina can beat Angelina.
Wow....thank you so much Deborah and Tony for your thoughts on this Angelina/Adele mashup. I enjoyed what you had to say very much. And Tony....I 100% agree with you...there is such a warmth to Angelina's voice. I would say Angelina's voice was the Velvet to Adele's Silk. Both beautiful but different. ❤🌹
Hey D. and T.! This was magical. I still prefer Angelina's interpretation, but together they are wonderful. Angelina rounds off Adele's edges.Thanks for another great reaction.
Besides the power of these two wonderful artists, we need to recognize two things. First, this song composed by Adele, Bruno Mars, et. al., is simply Incredible. One of the greatest songs about unrequited love EVER. And second, Phillip (pa1189j) is the best mashup artist there is. He has created a MASTERPIECE by blending these two enormous talents. So Kudos to you Phillip, and thank you for giving us this wonderful duet. If you're like me, it makes you long to see them together on the stage performing this song. I've gone back and listened to Adele's and Bruno's versions, and they are both Fantastic! But for me, they pale in the light of what Angelina has created with this song. It is her best performance Ever! (IMO). And really, one of the best performances by anyone at anytime (IMO). Just when I think that she might have plateaued, she does this. WOW!!! Good to see you reacting to Angelina again Debbie. I very much enjoy what the two of you bring to the analysis of Angelina's performance. 💕💕
I’m left shaking my head in wonderment when considering where she will be in just 5 years time and perhaps when her life experience enriches as the years pass.
@@kevingood4644 I agree Kevin. I remember when she did her 4-song turn on NGT, and we were all saying "OMG", where will she be when she's 15? And just look at what she has done with this wonderful song---at 15. So Yes, at 20 she will still have us shaking our heads in wonder. And probably saying OMG, where will she be at 30?
Nice stuff guys, it’s ironic that ppl say Angelina sounds like Adell, but hearing there voices together, one can now hear a clear difference between the two artist.. it’s very apparent in the different choices in Notes and runs, the Tonality deference, the difference in singing styles and musicality that determines there choices in notes, different Character of Voices etc.. Flowers to the gentleman who took time out to do this.. like your saying, it must have been very hard to mash the timing of the voices so perfectly.
@@shortycircuity hi, you’ve got me wrong.. that was not my point. I was simply saying that AJ sounds completely different stylistically to Adell whan you hear the voices together.. I actually think if they was singing together live, they would both adjust to each other’s singing styles.. I’ve seen two great vocalist with different styles compliment each other, so I don’t see a reason why AJ & Adell cannot do the same.. this is we’re the artistry comes into play in how they make it work. Grate artist always find a way that works for both of them.. I’m a massive fan of duets.. It would make a nice change to see AJ do a couple of dues.. song choice is also the Key.. I’ve got a Grate song in mind I would love AJ to duet with someone that will blow your minds and add another string to her Bow.
@@intuitiveempath8988 Hello, you got me wrong too. What makes Angelina strong are her jazzy roots. She sings different notes than on the sheet and sometimes waits for a few beats until she really starts. I don't know of any recordings of a successful duet with Angelina Jordan. Ivan Mendez sings very well too, but you can't find a duet between the two.
@@shortycircuity I actually agree with your point to a small degree, that I have not seen a really good one yet with AJ.. But I cannot say it’s not a possibility with two Grate artist and being very clever in how you arrange the song and choices of songs. I see this all the time on talent shows like, The Voice, we’re talented young artists has to battle/ sing against each other or Collaboration in groups.. All of them with different singing styles.. trust me, it can be done with the right arrangements and a bit of artistry. I’ve seen artist like Luciano Pavarotti do a duet with Tracy chapman.. and it worked 😂🤣 also Ed Sheeran and Beyoncé.. Fantasia and Jennifer Hudson. And the list goes on.
@@intuitiveempath8988 Okay, I love these programs too, and I hate that it's supposed to be a "battle" and good kids are thrown out even though everyone works well together and thus proves themselves as a team. (th-cam.com/video/jnHRGhKGHSc/w-d-xo.html) That should be changed. Sure you can plan such a duet well, but that can also backfire: th-cam.com/video/mCuEDsRu9DQ/w-d-xo.html
Wow, Tony, your thoughts on the necessity of positive memories was powerful. It made me think of childhood and being belittled and criticized, rather than encouraged and appreciated. It left me longing to go back and replace all those cringeworthy moments with "memories i could use". This was (another) great reaction, and I could see and hear your continuing, growing appreciation for the miracle of Angelina. She really is all that and then some.
Want to see Angelina play and sing in her rehearsals Look at Adele song hello ... performed by Angelina one of my personal favorites !!! 10 years old 😱
EVERY time a famous artist's hears that Angelina is doing one of their cover songs, they gringe knowing that Angelina is going 2 MAKE that song BETTER & own it!!
Absolutely fantastic when you are as a couple, Debra & Tony ❤️ This is a wonderful montage done by the fantastic Philip and it is fascinating for the overlapping points of the two voices (a fantastic duet), but the beauty of Angelina stands out even more in the low tones and in the belts, listen to her in her version alone, it's bewitching 🤗
I really enjoyed Adel’s version, but I absolutely love Angelina’s version for the same reasons every Angelina fan does and more. I feel the delicate weight, the soft, breath taking, intense, overwhelming emotional, passionate and spiritually uplifting sound of every individual word in the lyrics when Angelina sings. The all consuming heart wrenching emotion her voice elicits in this cover left me in a puddle of tears when I heard it for the first time. Angelina performed this song in the only way that it could and should have been sung. Adele and Bruno Mars wrote this outstanding song, but as good as they are at singing it they are incapable of achieving what Angelina did with this song.
Debra, Tony is really coming aboard, isn't he? I enjoyed your conversation and I look forward to you listening to Angelina sing to you by herself. It's a song you can listen to for hours and say, "Oh, is it over already?" It may be (my opinion) the best song she has ever performed.
I can just about hold it together when it’s one or the other, but both together..no chance..just a blubbing mess of emotions lol..thanks so much for this. I’m not going to compare. They’re both fabulous. If I were to buy one copy only it would be Angelina’s.
Debra and Tony, I have to confess that I have watched your reactions to this mash-up eleven times now. What can I say? I really enjoy your excellent company because you make me feel right at home.
bellissima reazione, è sempre un piacere ascoltarvi, descrivete in maniera perfetta quello che è Angelina, umiltà, passione e talento allo stato puro, chissà cosa potremmo aspettarci in futuro, ogni giorno che passa la sua voce diventa più matura, potente e calda, è incredibile per una bambina di 15 anni......
Loving the reaction to our BAREFOOT ANGEL as usual Debra. Looks like your husband is now another ANGEL like you and me and so many others. Oh and I sure hope they'll be selling boxes of tissue an Angelina concert because IT WILL BE NEEDED!! Maybe I'll just come with a beach towel. It's big 😆. You should check out her cover of WICKED GAME. She is playing the piano and and her VOICE!!! WWell you already know about her voice💖💖
You two wonderful folks had almost exactly the same reaction as myself upon hearing this mash-up. Philip truly has outdone himself this time. This "performance has my vote for "duet of the year" and I would pay top price to see it done as a live act.
Angelina, the gift that keeps on giving and all she wants to do for the world is give of herself in music. Amazing young lady with the biggest heart. Thumbs up Deborah and Tony, wonderful reaction as always.
Angelina Has been moving me to tears since the first time I heard her over 4 years ago. That streak isn't likely to end anytime soon. Her ability to attach herself to the pain and sorrow of the minute in this song is uncanny. The only other artist that I can think of that can do this on this level is Daneliya Tuleshova of Kazakhstan. After these two it drops away pretty quickly. Now these two have two disparate styles. Angelina clearly has roots firmly attached to Jazz and Blues, while Daneliya is undoubtedly a Pop singer. But their ability to enter into any song they sing is their point of similarity. Both these young singers can put a song on like clothing and model them for us then go and do the same for the next set of clothing. It is also how unerring they are at determining the depth of a song. Well I'm going to stop now. Thank you both for your insights and responses. It is always good to be open to ideas that others have they might have a perspective that unlocks a whole different way of seeing things.
You are once again wonderful to watch and hear, Debrah and Tony, and you add emotion to this already emotional cover by its author and a splendid interpreter! 🤩
Whether i like it or not but AJ's voice just hit your mind body and soul and it is very rare to get that feeling frkm a singer, few and far between. She will be a legend like MJ...
Wow, kudos to Phillip for matching up those two tracks so perfectly. It literally sounds like they're in the studio together. Regarding voice quality, they're both amazing of course. Adelle's placement is more forward, Angelina's more open in the back and her vocal folds are thicker and longer, which is amazing since she's still only 15 and her instrument is far from done growing. Stylistically to my ear, Angelina is more breathy with that slight tailing vibrato showing her jazz roots while Adelle is more straight pop. Both are great and I won't pick between them as of now. Just marvel that we have such voices in our lives. To me they're on a par right now, recognizing their difference in timbre and style. I hope to live to hear what Angelina becomes in ten or fifteen years.
Another great reaction from you two. So many points to cover, but in terms of musical accompaniment, Alan Papier interviewed Egil Clauson and Ivan Mendez, the two guitarists that have featured so much in her home recordings. Both explain that Angelina does not sing to their music, she sings and they follow, the tempo, and particularly the changes in tempo are driven by Angelina. Yes of course it would be nice for Angelina to play piano and sing, she has on occasion, perhaps we will see more of this in the future.
I suspect her performance skill level isn't good enough and she knows it, but I have a feeling she works hard to perfect that. (All of her co-written songs are flat-handed, piano-chord staccoto's, which are particularly easy to perform live AND get the correct 'audio mix levels', too - that's pretty important). I actually hope we do not see her instrument-performing debut on TH-cam first. I hope it's a live performance venue - may be a filmed TV show, a la a talk show so if she's uncomfortable or unpleased, she can re-do it. Or maybe she'll put a Beatles Video out and have Ed Sullivan present a virtual screening for us, like REVOLUTION or HEY JUDE on TV. Either way, it's going to be exciting.
What a fantastic mash up! Also, your dual reactions are powerful and insightful. Thank you for the two of you. Please stay safe, healthy, and encouraged.
So, exactly when was it that the two of you received your PhD's in Psychology and Philosophy? It must be fantastic living in a home with two geniuses. Your commentary is the very best there is in the reaction world!
I always enjoy your joint reactions of Angelina and for this song mashup in particular you both delivered such a heartfelt and sensitive review. I was already tearing up and you didn't help lol ;) Love watching the two of you bounce off each other and we get two for one with your individual takes on the performance. Thank you for another love letter to Angelina, our young legend...
Hi Debra and Tony. It's a pity you didn't choose to do a reaction to Angelina's whole song. It's outstanding! And I totally agree with Tom that Angelina's voice is much warmer than Adele's. Once you've listened to Angelina, Adele's voice sound like too "sharp". No she's a great songwriter/singer but...
Angelina.... Living proof that babies can hear in the womb [ her family played lots of jazz i bet she could hear it } her brain would be a blank canvas
Angelina’s phrasing alone enhances this song, not to mention dynamics, moving between belting and airy tones, runs, vibrato, etc. e.g. In the last phrase, she extends the note on “never” rather than “love” like Adele and Bruno Mars do. It creates a stronger emotional tension so that when she sings “love again” like a 3 syllable word in a soft breathy tone it conveys a complex set of emotions- sadness, fear, doubt, resignation, hope. All the feelings appropriate for the situation and the motivation for the request in the title. She uses pauses and a breathy tone on the key phrases that form the theme of the entire song- “All I ask..is...a memory I can use...if I never love again”. Each of her choices are in relation to all her other choices, which serve hold the song together as a unified work of art. She is absolutely brilliant!
Angelina has jazz in her roots, whereas Adele doesn't. It's evident when you listen to Angelina's inflections, riffs, and a multitude of touches that are jazz inspired. The previous Queen of Jazz was Amy Winehouse, and she was someone these top artists of today don't even attempt to duplicate......because they realize the futility involved. Only Angelina can bring forth true jazz elements like Amy and she automatically has inherited The Queen of Jazz title.
Assuming Angie has less control about the backing because she's not playing it herself seems to be a fallacy. Thats not how she's operating. She has a clear idea how she wants it to be played and is able to relay that with a few words. A recent interview with Ivan Mendez thankfully gave some interesting insights on that. The backing's following her, not the other way around. Though thinking about it, it might be somewhat different when she's working with an orchestra. She had no issue to seemlessy join in with the orchestra at the rehearsals for Quicny Jones birthday concert, the conductor reacted pleasently surprised.
Thanks very much for a great reaction. I wanted to subscribe, but I no longer subscribe to reactors who do not prominently feature the direct link to the original recording on Angelina Jordan Official, or Angelina Jordan Cover Channel. It's only fair that people can go directly to hear the original, and Angelina should benefit from the views she is losing to reactors. I realize that the exposure you give her helps as well, and I thank you for that. Please consider adding that link, right below your intro to the video. Thanks.
Before Norway's Got Talent you can hear her sing 'Hurt' by Christina Aguilera, who is one of the true divas on the planet. There's a mash-up showing both, with Christiana singing on stage, as an adult, with a full orchestra, whereas Angelina is in a simple sound booth. Christina, of course, was the overall winner between them but in parts, Angelina can be heard matching this diva. Did I forget to mention that Angelina was 6 years old ? You'll have to excuse me now, for whenever I try to comprehend this, I have to lie down before my head explodes ! Can't tell my psychiatrist about this, for I fear he'll have me committed for stating something so absurd.
What a GREAT video. Great editing, great choices. When you present your argument, you've already won the point! EXCELLENT!! My gosh - is our now unified hope is to see these two in duet?!! Composer/singers bring a soul-deep power to their own recordings while trailing-behind cover artists can only bring their vocal toolboxes, like a mechanic vs. an artist. But in this case, reading about the Bruno Mars/Adele writing sessions, composer-singers may bring some 'baggage' onto the recorded track. One aspect that's interesting to me is that, there were two 'original versions' - the Bruno Mars gag-fest of over-produced effects, something like sounds like Tokyo after Godzilla stomps it into submission. "Yep! That's Tokyo awright - I'd know it even in the most mangled, over-produced forms." And then there's Adele's choice of versions - far more stripped down, far more authentic to the composition's emotional intent. And which one does AJ choose? THERE IS NO CHOICE. "Good" is good. "Overproduced cotton candy" is all fluff, no substance.
Thank you, again. Maybe you should show Tony Angelina's cover of Wicked Games where she plays the piano, also believe she composed; What Is Life and Oslo.
I guess the difference of the voices of Adelle and Angelina (for me) is the difference between the sound of brass (Adelle) and strings (Angelina) both excellente but different.
Adelle's voice is just more brassy, to me. Great, but not the added intimacy of Angelina. Liked seeing Tony get comfortable and enthusiastic in his commentary. Kudos.
Adele once was the best singer on the planet... Angelina is right now the best singer on the planet... end of debate!
matter of opinion, but one I cannot necessarily disagree with !!!!
i agree one hundred pourcent
@@warrenpierce9157 so... Angelina warms your heart BEST... Therefore she IS the best !!! LOL
Agreed...end of debate.
Some reactors call Angelina "The velvet queen" because of her soft interpretations. This was very obvious in this mashup,. The mere power of Adele was neutralized by Angelinas soft but powerful voice, and guess who brought out emotions? Angelina of course.
When Angelina covers a song she sprinkles her angel dust on it and then owns it.
please you must listen to angelina on her own singing this song live its magical ,love your reactions spot on thanks for that

Beautiful and thoughtful comments. Viva Goddess ANGELina!!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wow, Tony, your thoughts on the necessity of positive memories was powerful. It made me think of childhood and being belittled and criticized, rather than encouraged and appreciated. It left me longing to go back and replace all those cringeworthy moments with "memories i could use". This was (another) great reaction, and I could see and hear your continuing, growing appreciation for the miracle of Angelina. She really is all that and then some.
Want to see Angelina play and sing in her rehearsals Look at Adele song hello ... performed by Angelina one of my personal favorites !!! 10 years old 😱
EVERY time a famous artist's hears that Angelina is doing one of their cover songs, they gringe knowing that Angelina is going 2 MAKE that song BETTER & own it!!
Absolutely fantastic when you are as a couple, Debra & Tony ❤️
This is a wonderful montage done by the fantastic Philip and it is fascinating for the overlapping points of the two voices (a fantastic duet), but the beauty of Angelina stands out even more in the low tones and in the belts, listen to her in her version alone, it's bewitching 🤗
You said it right. AJ is in a superior level ,above all of the other performers,no doubt about it. Thanks for the reaction.
I really enjoyed Adel’s version, but I absolutely love Angelina’s version for the same reasons every Angelina fan does and more. I feel the delicate weight, the soft, breath taking, intense, overwhelming emotional, passionate and spiritually uplifting sound of every individual word in the lyrics when Angelina sings. The all consuming heart wrenching emotion her voice elicits in this cover left me in a puddle of tears when I heard it for the first time. Angelina performed this song in the only way that it could and should have been sung. Adele and Bruno Mars wrote this outstanding song, but as good as they are at singing it they are incapable of achieving what Angelina did with this song.
Debra, Tony is really coming aboard, isn't he? I enjoyed your conversation and I look forward to you listening to Angelina sing to you by herself. It's a song you can listen to for hours and say, "Oh, is it over already?" It may be (my opinion) the best song she has ever performed.
I can just about hold it together when it’s one or the other, but both together..no chance..just a blubbing mess of emotions lol..thanks so much for this. I’m not going to compare. They’re both fabulous. If I were to buy one copy only it would be Angelina’s.
Angelina is simply in a league of her own. There are a lot of great vocalists, but only one Angelina Jordan.
Debra and Tony, I have to confess that I have watched your reactions to this mash-up eleven times now. What can I say? I really enjoy your excellent company because you make me feel right at home.
bellissima reazione, è sempre un piacere ascoltarvi, descrivete in maniera perfetta quello che è Angelina, umiltà, passione e talento allo stato puro, chissà cosa potremmo aspettarci in futuro, ogni giorno che passa la sua voce diventa più matura, potente e calda, è incredibile per una bambina di 15 anni......
The warmth of you two matches the warmth in Angelina's voice. I very much enjoy wathing your journey through AJ's catalogue!
Loving the reaction to our BAREFOOT ANGEL as usual Debra. Looks like your husband is now another ANGEL like you and me and so many others. Oh and I sure hope they'll be selling boxes of tissue an Angelina concert because IT WILL BE NEEDED!! Maybe I'll just come with a beach towel. It's big 😆. You should check out her cover of WICKED GAME. She is playing the piano and and her VOICE!!! WWell you already know about her voice💖💖
You two wonderful folks had almost exactly the same reaction as myself upon hearing this mash-up. Philip truly has outdone himself this time. This "performance has my vote for "duet of the year" and I would pay top price to see it done as a live act.
Angelina, the gift that keeps on giving and all she wants to do for the world is give of herself in music. Amazing young lady with the biggest heart. Thumbs up Deborah and Tony, wonderful reaction as always.
Angelina Has been moving me to tears since the first time I heard her over 4 years ago. That streak isn't likely to end anytime soon. Her ability to attach herself to the pain and sorrow of the minute in this song is uncanny. The only other artist that I can think of that can do this on this level is Daneliya Tuleshova of Kazakhstan. After these two it drops away pretty quickly. Now these two have two disparate styles. Angelina clearly has roots firmly attached to Jazz and Blues, while Daneliya is undoubtedly a Pop singer. But their ability to enter into any song they sing is their point of similarity. Both these young singers can put a song on like clothing and model them for us then go and do the same for the next set of clothing. It is also how unerring they are at determining the depth of a song.
Well I'm going to stop now. Thank you both for your insights and responses. It is always good to be open to ideas that others have they might have a perspective that unlocks a whole different way of seeing things.
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Angelina's voice can make the world vibrate.
You are once again wonderful to watch and hear, Debrah and Tony, and you add emotion to this already emotional cover
by its author and a splendid interpreter! 🤩
I now call her the incomparable Angelina Jordan because thats what she is!
Whether i like it or not but AJ's voice just hit your mind body and soul and it is very rare to get that feeling frkm a singer, few and far between. She will be a legend like MJ...
Wow, kudos to Phillip for matching up those two tracks so perfectly. It literally sounds like they're in the studio together.
Regarding voice quality, they're both amazing of course. Adelle's placement is more forward, Angelina's more open in the back and her vocal folds are thicker and longer, which is amazing since she's still only 15 and her instrument is far from done growing.
Stylistically to my ear, Angelina is more breathy with that slight tailing vibrato showing her jazz roots while Adelle is more straight pop. Both are great and I won't pick between them as of now. Just marvel that we have such voices in our lives. To me they're on a par right now, recognizing their difference in timbre and style.
I hope to live to hear what Angelina becomes in ten or fifteen years.
For me it’s Angelina. The texture the power oh my god what a god given talent😱
Angelina is always PERFECT and then some!
You 2 are perfect together! :D Such a sweet friendship!
Another great reaction/commentary. I always enjoy the content on this channel. Angelina is a once in forever musical artist.
It was a very very good reaction sir and ma'am....👍i will wait also for your reaction to her rendition of this song.... thank you so much....✌
After hearing them both together doing this song, Angelina far outshines Adelle hands down
Love your thoughtful comments and reactions.
If I was asked to choose which artist I would want to listen to sing this song over and over again it be...
☑️ Angelina
Another great reaction from you two. So many points to cover, but in terms of musical accompaniment, Alan Papier interviewed Egil Clauson and Ivan Mendez, the two guitarists that have featured so much in her home recordings. Both explain that Angelina does not sing to their music, she sings and they follow, the tempo, and particularly the changes in tempo are driven by Angelina. Yes of course it would be nice for Angelina to play piano and sing, she has on occasion, perhaps we will see more of this in the future.
I suspect her performance skill level isn't good enough and she knows it, but I have a feeling she works hard to perfect that. (All of her co-written songs are flat-handed, piano-chord staccoto's, which are particularly easy to perform live AND get the correct 'audio mix levels', too - that's pretty important).
I actually hope we do not see her instrument-performing debut on TH-cam first. I hope it's a live performance venue - may be a filmed TV show, a la a talk show so if she's uncomfortable or unpleased, she can re-do it. Or maybe she'll put a Beatles Video out and have Ed Sullivan present a virtual screening for us, like REVOLUTION or HEY JUDE on TV. Either way, it's going to be exciting.
No hay duda la voz más dulce que escuchado a mis 51 años y la de Jaz y bluz Angel de los pies descalzos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful, I have not heard it like this , but you should listen to AJ singing it alone...reaction spot on, thank you!
Mesmerizing! Definitely a beautiful memory. Love it!!! Great reaction you two.
What a fantastic mash up! Also, your dual reactions are powerful and insightful. Thank you for the two of you. Please stay safe, healthy, and encouraged.
So, exactly when was it that the two of you received your PhD's in Psychology and Philosophy? It must be fantastic living in a home with two geniuses. Your commentary is the very best there is in the reaction world!
Thanks again for another beautiful reaction.
Between Adele & AJ is like coffee to cappuccino!!!!
Two great reactors enjoying 2 great singers.
Not ashamed to say that I cried shamelessly when they sang...
I am number 9 to LIKE 💙
So utterly talented, beautiful, so very pure! Definitely in the "light"
I always enjoy your joint reactions of Angelina and for this song mashup in particular you both delivered such a heartfelt and sensitive review. I was already tearing up and you didn't help lol ;)
Love watching the two of you bounce off each other and we get two for one with your individual takes on the performance. Thank you for another love letter to Angelina, our young legend...
You guys are awesome. Thanks for another great reaction.
Great point about memories. We do need to create more meaningful memories.
Yeah she plays some instruments, she creates her songs on the piano at her small home studio and she plays guitar at some vids
Hi Debra and Tony. It's a pity you didn't choose to do a reaction to Angelina's whole song. It's outstanding!
And I totally agree with Tom that Angelina's voice is much warmer than Adele's. Once you've listened to Angelina, Adele's voice sound like too "sharp".
No she's a great songwriter/singer but...
Incrivel...Magico...Fantasico...
What a nice couple ! Would you two be interested in adopting a 63yr old white guy ? Great reaction , thanks !
Angelina.... Living proof that babies can hear in the womb [ her family played lots of jazz i bet she could hear it } her brain would be a blank canvas
Counting the days til that concert!!! :D
No you should listen to angelina singing this song on her own she owns it.
Her original video of Angelina singing, Wicked games, shows Angelina PLAYING the piano while she is SINGING wicked game.
WOW!!!!! Just Wow!!!!!
Angelina’s phrasing alone enhances this song, not to mention dynamics, moving between belting and airy tones, runs, vibrato, etc. e.g. In the last phrase, she extends the note on “never” rather than “love” like Adele and Bruno Mars do. It creates a stronger emotional tension so that when she sings “love again” like a 3 syllable word in a soft breathy tone it conveys a complex set of emotions- sadness, fear, doubt, resignation, hope. All the feelings appropriate for the situation and the motivation for the request in the title. She uses pauses and a breathy tone on the key phrases that form the theme of the entire song- “All I ask..is...a memory I can use...if I never love again”. Each of her choices are in relation to all her other choices, which serve hold the song together as a unified work of art. She is absolutely brilliant!
¡GRAN TRABAJO! 👍👍😍😍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Angelina is honey from the gods, Ambrosia.
Angelina has jazz in her roots, whereas Adele doesn't. It's evident when you listen to
Angelina's inflections, riffs, and a multitude of touches that are jazz inspired. The previous
Queen of Jazz was Amy Winehouse, and she was someone these top artists of today
don't even attempt to duplicate......because they realize the futility involved. Only Angelina
can bring forth true jazz elements like Amy and she automatically has inherited The Queen of
Jazz title.
Assuming Angie has less control about the backing because she's not playing it herself seems to be a fallacy. Thats not how she's operating. She has a clear idea how she wants it to be played and is able to relay that with a few words. A recent interview with Ivan Mendez thankfully gave some interesting insights on that. The backing's following her, not the other way around.
Though thinking about it, it might be somewhat different when she's working with an orchestra. She had no issue to seemlessy join in with the orchestra at the rehearsals for Quicny Jones birthday concert, the conductor reacted pleasently surprised.
Please do the whole song, Angelina only.....please : )
Thanks very much for a great reaction. I wanted to subscribe, but I no longer subscribe to reactors who do not prominently feature the direct link to the original recording on Angelina Jordan Official, or Angelina Jordan Cover Channel. It's only fair that people can go directly to hear the original, and Angelina should benefit from the views she is losing to reactors. I realize that the exposure you give her helps as well, and I thank you for that. Please consider adding that link, right below your intro to the video. Thanks.
Listen to Angelina alone, it’s now her song.
Before Norway's Got Talent you can hear her sing 'Hurt' by Christina Aguilera, who is one
of the true divas on the planet. There's a mash-up showing both, with Christiana singing
on stage, as an adult, with a full orchestra, whereas Angelina is in a simple sound booth.
Christina, of course, was the overall winner between them but in parts, Angelina can be
heard matching this diva. Did I forget to mention that Angelina was 6 years old ? You'll
have to excuse me now, for whenever I try to comprehend this, I have to lie down before
my head explodes ! Can't tell my psychiatrist about this, for I fear he'll have me committed
for stating something so absurd.
Well done to you both, I really enjoyed this 😄😄😄😄😄
Nicely done, two thumbs up !
Angelina makes mash-ups simple by always (almost) singing in the sane key as the original artist :)
What a GREAT video. Great editing, great choices. When you present your argument, you've already won the point! EXCELLENT!! My gosh - is our now unified hope is to see these two in duet?!!
Composer/singers bring a soul-deep power to their own recordings while trailing-behind cover artists can only bring their vocal toolboxes, like a mechanic vs. an artist. But in this case, reading about the Bruno Mars/Adele writing sessions, composer-singers may bring some 'baggage' onto the recorded track.
One aspect that's interesting to me is that, there were two 'original versions' - the Bruno Mars gag-fest of over-produced effects, something like sounds like Tokyo after Godzilla stomps it into submission. "Yep! That's Tokyo awright - I'd know it even in the most mangled, over-produced forms." And then there's Adele's choice of versions - far more stripped down, far more authentic to the composition's emotional intent.
And which one does AJ choose? THERE IS NO CHOICE. "Good" is good. "Overproduced cotton candy" is all fluff, no substance.
Adele has a lovely voice but Angelina's voice envelops you like a warm blanket right out of the dryer.
Thank you, again. Maybe you should show Tony Angelina's cover of Wicked Games where she plays the piano, also believe she composed; What Is Life and Oslo.
I guess the difference of the voices of Adelle and Angelina (for me) is the difference between the sound of brass (Adelle) and strings (Angelina) both excellente but different.
Sorry Adele...
I would like to see AJ & Adele doing When You Believe the recreation
hi deborah how great a collaboration between adele and angelina would be
Adelle's voice is just more brassy, to me. Great, but not the added intimacy of Angelina.
Liked seeing Tony get comfortable and enthusiastic in his commentary. Kudos.
Barefoot angel....no close second....her range even in different covers is beyond the beyond.....even to her own songs.
You have to react to A.J. by herself pls, you will find another experience. 🇨🇱
Philip is spelled with one L ... btw.....actually in England it is always spelled that way.
You must reaction to her own singing which is more awesome. see your revisit again soon.
