How many artists can do five different versions of the same song, and have each one be different, but really good. This song tells you everything you need to know about Angelina.
The brilliance of Angelina is on full display here. She took a song that she wrote and performed first in a way that was sassy and powerful with her first version and then turned around and completely re-imagined the intent of the song to sing it in a way that was remorseful and vulnerable. This is my favorite performance of any song she has ever sung. Thanks for the great reaction.

Nice reaction, thank you. Angelina has literally shocked me, I love her voice and I'm more and more in awe of her unstoppable musical evolution, I would never have expected that at her age she had already reached such a stratospheric level of vocal perfection. This is truly a beautiful song perfectly arranged for her voices (so many!), both in the first blues version and in this later jazz version, but what she creates in this melancholic and sad version is indescribable and absolutely astonishing, also for the apparent ease with which she does it, in reality the instrumental accompaniment is little more than a simple pleasant decoration, her voice alone is enough to reproduce the emotional effect of a whole orchestra. She is a truly eclectic and extraordinary artist, I understand well why Toby is enraptured by her talent, being able to collaborate with a singer like her leaves a boundless space for musical imagination, you probably can't even imagine what vocal wonders she can create. Her creativity is simply enchanting and astonishing.💛🧡❤
Angelina's voice has more colors to it, than I have words to describe it. Her voice also makes me tingle, every time. She has a way to force the listener to pay attention to the lyrics, while evoking the emotions the story requires.
Every word, every phrase is very detailed and there are many subtle nuances within each bit and she is a master at using them to tell the story she wishes to tell. Slide up in a word or slide down, begin with vibrato or end with it, more air less air it goes on and on and she is able to go between registers flawlessly. The biggest thing I have learned from Angelina is that there is no word/run/or negative space that is not important to the song and esp. the story-telling.
Maria, Thank you so much for reacting to this amazing Jazzy version of this song by Angelina, I knew you would enjoy it. It is an awesome different take on this phenomenal song by Angelina. Can she improve her own song? Yes she can!!!!!! Don't get me wrong, I love every version Angelina has done of this song, but this Jazzy Version would be my pick at the top of the list. Thanks again Maria for the amazing reaction to Angelina, Our Barefoot Princess! God Bless You, and your Family, and your beautiful Kitties, Peace & Love, Thomas & The Kitties from Indiana
the interesting history of this song is she wrote it as her first break up song (hard to believe. lol) at 16 with toby but Republic rejected it for her EP. Now 2 years later, the mood isn't just jazzy but melacholic recollection instead of anger.
We don’t really know the exact reason that the song wasn’t on the EP. Angelina was recording songs for an album however the decision was made to release an EP instead, perhaps by the label. So obviously some songs had to be left unreleased. That included all 8 songs Angelina had recorded with Toby and who knows, maybe there were others that she recorded with other producers. Now how the 6 songs on the EP were chosen we don’t really know for sure. At the time of release Angelina said that she chose the songs. Maybe she felt those 6 songs worked better together. Maybe the label made suggestions? It’s speculation at this point.
I always thought the same as you regarding the interpretation of the song's intent, María. Like show me you care, show me your passion, do you have blood running through your veins? If you don't "I'll be a bad valentine"... Anyway, this version has a more melancholic tone to it as if she was sad about the whole thing. Tell me WHO, WHAT SINGER can convey so much emotion and pull at your heart like Angelina??? Nobody! 🥰
Simply a masterclass masterpiece of music...thanks Maria. Angelina upgrades her own song with this cover...really!!! Who does that?? The talent on display here is generational!!! We all should be honored to witness this kind of talent, does not come along hardly EVER in one's life time. Maybe more of this on the channel. Growing and supporting the channel is your goal...well here is one of the artists that will do that!!!! MHO! Love your reactions, but every 5-6 months with AJ... missing out, (her several million fans have little patience and move on). Cheers, and best of luck. Mean this in a sincerely good way, been following reactors for several years now and know. Much appreciation to you.
Maria, Glad to see you at it and reacting to Angelina again. This particular song, regardless of the version, is considered by many to be one of Angelina's best of her career. Thanks also to Toby Gad for the collaboration. I personally love all the versions but find that this jazzy version is it for me. The style reflects Angelina's roots in jazz and classic music. As you say it's current, and yet still feels like a reincarnation of a previous time. Angelina can convey any emotions she chooses.
Angelina is going to have a live Christmas Concert in Los Angeles on Saturday, December 14th (2024) - Venue to be announced - but Pre-sale tickets can be purchased through her Official Home Webpage.
Do you remember the bit in "Notting Hill" where Anna (Julia Roberts) tells William that "I'm also just a girl .. standing in front of a boy .. asking him to love her .." ..... I think there is more than just a bit of this in this song ... Angelia had the fame standing in between them .. that's my take.
Many thanks 🙏 for Toby. At some interviews he told the storys how he always tried to pull out more emotions from the artist even the famous Madonna. First she ran away but came back and worked a lot of time with him. And Angelina is the deepest source of finesse emotions he ever found. Able to rearrange her own great Song in a rare melancholy Way 💕
The first time I heard this and every time since I envision a movie scene - a woman is walking alone along a sidewalk, light rain, melancholy, head down and hands in pockets while Angelina sings this arrangement. Of course the actress looks like Angelina.
BAD VALENTINE (Piano Diaries)****************************************************************************************************************************************************************** A slower, jazzier rendition of "Bad Valentine" (Please support Angelina Jordan by purchasing “Bad Valentine (Piano Diaries)”, I got my copy when it first dropped on all the music platforms, as MP3,) A Grammy for AJ & Toby! The collaboration between Angelina Jordan and Toby Gad on the jazz-infused version of "Bad Valentine" has indeed created a buzz in the music community. This rendition strips down the original composition, allowing Jordan's rich, soulful voice to take center stage, supported by Gad's masterful piano accompaniment. The slower tempo and jazz elements introduce a new depth to the song, highlighting its emotional core and resonating with audiences seeking a more introspective musical experience. The duo's creative synergy has given rise to a version that not only pays homage to the original but also stands on its own as a testament to their artistic versatility. This new interpretation of "Bad Valentine" exemplifies how genre fusion can breathe new life into music, offering a fresh perspective while maintaining the integrity of the song's message. This version could of "Bad Valentine" could be the vehicle that delivers a Grammy, and no one deserves it more that Angelina Jordan.
She actually sets the pace herself to total worldfame . Although she herself is an 18-year-old young lady, her taste in music is quality, and not just high bass in the stomach.When the next James Bond film is to be made, who do you think is in the spotlight for a possible theme song?
I don’t know of any other artists that release a brand new song and then produce three different arrangements of said song? I love the commercial and rock versions. However this jazz version stands out as being the best rendition. The jazz rendition provides a different perspective, in that Angelina demonstrates empathy toward the guy while trying to let him know that they’re not compatible. This rendition touches my soul deeply.
As amazing as this performance is and the fact that many fans say that this is even better than the original version, I am really surprised by the low number of views. Only about 36000 to this point. It could be that there no video, just a still frame. Since there isn’t a video then maybe more fans are streaming? Not sure what the streaming numbers are. It would be a shame if this song, both versions, doesn’t get the recognition it deserves
Angelina announced today, she will have a Christmas concert, in LA, on December 14th. Please visit her official website for tickets. Maria, always a pleasure to have you react to Angelina. Here is the list of originals she has blessed us with. "What is Life" first sung at age 11. We don't know how old she was when she wrote each song. Age presented is her age when she first sang it. "Oslo" age 11 "Shield" age 12 "Million Miles" age 14 we know she wrote this one in the days after her maternal grandfather passed in 2019 when she was 13 "7th Heaven" age 15 "Love Don't Let Me Go" age 17 "Now I'm the Fool" age 17 "Fire and Rain" age 17 "It's All My Fault" age 17 "Good in Goodbyes" age 17 "Diamond" age 17 "Our Time" age 17 "Princess of Ruins" age 18 ..... debuted at her 2 shows in Las Vegas 2/29/24 "Bad Valentine" age 18 worked with Toby Gad "Thank You" age 18 debuted at her Glendale concert 9/20/24 "What Am I to You" age 18 debuted at her Glendale concert Should include songs for which she was the first to sing "I'm Still Holding Out for You" age 10 .... considered one of her best vocal performances by many "Song for A" age 12 "Above the Water" a EDM song released January 31, 2020 "We're the Best" sung with RedOne at the FIFA Awards February 27, 2023 Angelina wrote new lyrics for two famous songs by Amy Winehouse, "Back to Black" and "Rehab" since it was inappropriate for a preteen to sing the original lyrics. For "Back to Black" Angelina wrote the new lyrics in the 24 hours prior to the recording, then needed just two takes.
This is actually the second official release of this song. A more upbeat pop studio version was released in September the same day as Angelina’’s LA concert. We now know that the pop version was actually recorded 2 years ago when Angelina was still 16. We had thought that her live performance of the song from May was the first time they ever performed it, not knowing that they had already recorded the song in 2022. Three weeks after the release of the pop version, this slowed down version was released the beginning of October. Whereas the pop version was from two years ago we can assume that this version was recorded recently.
Yes, AJ had many bad valentines - turned down many music producers.. Yes, AJ spent the night with the moon - it was released at night full moon September 20, 2024. I m one of your fans
This is what happens when Angelina covers a song. The only time I have heard a song that she has performed done better has been when she did it again. BTW, my son brought up the fact that the older people who listen to Angelina don't seem to even know what a "simp" is. If they did, it would be much easier for them to understand this song and what Angelina is trying to say. I have to agree.
@@kerrythomas6220 😊😊👍👍 I'm 79 and try to stay up with my "kids" (grown) and grandkids (3) and great-grandkids (2). Makes life interesting. But, I have to agree with my son as I see so many reactors who don't seem to "get it". I've even seen comments from some fans who are so out of touch they try to convince the reactor that Angelina is actually speaking as if she is playing the part of the person she's breaking up with. 😮😮 I don't really care what others think as long as they can get something positive from it. I think Angelina would be happy with that.
Make no mistake: this girl is the real deal !!!
Another concert for Angelina....Dec. 14th in L A......GREAT REACTION.

Angelina has literally shocked me, I love her voice and I'm more and more in awe of her unstoppable musical evolution, I would never have expected that at her age she had already reached such a stratospheric level of vocal perfection. This is truly a beautiful song perfectly arranged for her voices (so many!), both in the first blues version and in this later jazz version, but what she creates in this melancholic and sad version is indescribable and absolutely astonishing, also for the apparent ease with which she does it, in reality the instrumental accompaniment is little more than a simple pleasant decoration, her voice alone is enough to reproduce the emotional effect of a whole orchestra.

"The way she plays with her voice..."

This performance displays so many of every kind of vocal technique that it boggles and seduces the mind and soul. It is a marvel...

Like show me you care, show me your passion, do you have blood running through your veins? If you don't "I'll be a bad valentine"...

I'm always impressed how well she can pull off that classic swanky jazz vibe at her young age. Great reaction 👍
Yes: "captivating you" is a perfectly apt description I think

I can feel the happy, sad, tear, sweet…. from every word in this song… and the more you listen, the deeper you feel.

If they did, it would be much easier for them to understand this song and what Angelina is trying to say. I have to agree.
I’m 76 and I know what a simp is, not all of her older fans are stuck in a time warp and want Jordan to remain their little “barefoot princess”!
