    Thank you Didy for your reaction. I think only familiarity with Screaming Jay's original can give you a full understanding of the genius of this performance. Angelina's interpretation, reference and homage to the original in her arrangement is staggering, and that's before you take into account her vocal ability at that age. A masterpiece. Happy birthday Angelina, you are a true gift to the world.

    I’ve been listening to music since I was a kid in the 1950’s. I realized about 3-4 years ago that Angelina, then 12, was the best singer I’ve ever heard. I have never been captivated by a vocalist before. I can’t remember the last day when I did not listen to Angelina. Her musicality and her mastery of so many genres seems impossible, but we hear it everyday.
    This amazing version of I Put A Spell on You would be a crown in the career of just about any jazz or blues singer, but for 9 year old Angelina, it’s a one-off performance that she arranged herself and never repeated in this way. She has staggering talent and musical instinct. Even though she continues to get better each year, I love her early performances that will always stand on their own. She completely redefined what can be expected of a child singer. It’s hard to imagine that the best singer I’ve ever heard is at the beginning of her career.

      I have seen this extra- ordinary performance at least 100 times by now. Every single time I've been blown away. Almost every time I've cried. Today partially because it's you, Didy, seeing her in what many have said will forever be in music history .. partly because of her age but mostly because of the amazing and exquisite musicality of it. Today, as they have many times before, my tears released as she holds that last note for what seems to be forever .. her little lips vibrating with the most amazing vibrato ever .. and then .. I have to stay through her "landing" .. back into her body and her right arm comes up as what could be the most tender shield for her little heart .. and I thank her family that they were wise, as always, and let this piece stand on its own. For many other artists and regardless of their age .. they would be looking for more songs of this "type" and she would have been doing this for a long time. The care with which her family has and does hold her is exquisite and amazing .. both. We thank you.

    You said something that did a switch in my head. Up to this point in Angelina's singing, we've been blown away by her talent to even notice what is really going on with her. This piece was all her. Lyric interpretation, orchestration & execution. She is in "beast mode" in the execution which most reviews only notice. Even myself as a listener. As you said about her not to be toppled from the stage. It is the other talents she has displayed here. Her ability to write her own lyrics, music & understand how orchestration of each instrument is crucial to the execution of how she wants her music to convey. She doesn't always rely on the musicians to say what instrument belongs "here" or "there". She has already formulated that in her head. I don't know of any 9yr old with that capability. And sing. That is her real "beast mode". It's her complete awareness of what she wants to reflect to the listener.

    I've said this elsewhere, but it is worth repeating. This is the best singing performance by a preteen ever including such greats as Michael Jackson. The next best is not even close and is probably another Angelina song. It's not just that she can do all that she can do with her voice, it is that she does exactly what the song needs to convey the message. How a very tiny girl has the instinct, knowledge, and wisdom to do this is beyond me, and she has gotten even better as she has grown up, especially in the last couple of years. She has the wisdom to know that when covering a song like "Yesterday" from the Beatles to not change it much at all other than slowing it down. But then take other iconic songs like "Bohemian Rhapsody" or "Billy Jean" and completely reinterpret them in a different style without ruining the essence of the songs or even offending the multitude of fans of Queen or Michael or whoever.

      @@didymalgia Yeah, for at least a couple years now her age rarely comes up in any discussion about her, it wouldn't be fair for other teenage singers. The only thing stopping me from placing her with the giants is that as of today on her 16th birthday it's been about 10 years since she first stepped into a studio and we only have a handful of original songs, and despite being meaningful they are not top of the charts quality. Supposedly she has been writing songs, at least the lyrics over the years and we just haven't heard them. Some of these songs are expected to be released in the near future on her first album with Republic Records. I think this will be her defining moment and bring her to the attention of a wider audience.

      @@didymalgia I agree that she hasn't proven to be amongst the giants in song writing yet. Though I do believe her Million Miles and maybe 7th Heaven could chart when put out by Angelina on her full album as they could surge in popularity. Many of the greats never wrote their hits. Willie Nelson wrote most of his hits, but he also wrote many songs for other greats who charted them. Song writing and being a vocalist are two different skill sets. As far as her vocals, based on pure talent...who is better? Noone I can think of.

    You shall eventually see.
    Funny thing. It was reported that Screamin' J and three of his band mates were working on music and practicing, then got a bit liquered up taking breaks and such.. THEN, they went to this one, I think SJH had an idea... and then HE did it crazy, over embellished and loud and... again, crazy.... which gave this original song by him its historic flavor from that point on.. It went from a blues ditty and turned into what they had called a SWAMP BOOGIE.... Now Angelina , in tribute, hitting most major original elements, her way, with her ability and child limitations vs. a grown man, did THIS masterpiece which should be in the Jazz/Blues Hall of Fame...
    Rumor has it, she did this WITHOUT getting liqueured up as did SJH!!!!

    Didy, as a new reactor to Angelina, and one who is becoming a dedicated Angel, I think you would enjoy and also learn a lot about Angelina and how she works by watching two interviews conducted by Alan Papier. Both are posted on his YT channel. The first interview is with Egil Clausen (Oslo) who was her guitarist for many years. You will see him soon in performances and a lot of her cover songs. The second is with Ivan Mendez, her guitarist in LA when she was 12 and 13. I found it fascinating that she wound never pre-plan their recording sessions, but more or less do them on the fly - discuss songs, choose one and record it. Most were uploaded after the first take. I was already mesmerized by her talents but gained even more appreciation of her abilities after watching the interviews. All of the covers with seemingly perfect timing, phrasing, breath control, pitch, vocal tools, etc, etc and with all the emotion she poured into them were "once and done" masterpieces. You will see her reading the lyrics in most of those covers.

If you closed your eyes you would say this was a seasoned professional blues singer not a 9 year old child ! But as we all know she has been singing and performing from such a young age and has that wonderful jazz influenced background that makes her so different than anyone else today ! I want to thank you for continuing your Angelina journey of joy and happiness because that what she brings out in me each and every time she sings !

    Hi Didy. I'm glad you said it. All the jazz and blues greats of the past now need to make room for Angelina Jordan. She was a jazz legend by the time she was twelve and once you get to hear all of Angelina's covers of those greats, you should have the same feeling. I think she's LEGEND. Great reaction. Cheers brother!

Again I say she is my favorite singer...I rest my case. God continue to bless her. Thumbs up Didy, what a wonderful Angelina time it has been, my respects sir. Hope you have a wonderful Happy Birthday young phenom from Norway.

    Angelina always invests her total mind, body, soul and spirit into each song she sings. Her voice pulls you into the song and we feel like we are part of the song. Didy you said she had big shoes to fill and she now owns those shoes. Angelina does own those shoes but chooses to give her shoes to the less fortunate. Angelina is a angel and I wish her a very happy birthday.

    I get choked up and a little emotional in so many of her performances esp. at her 10 year old and younger ones because it's miraculous. It's something you can't explain, something that just can't be but here is Angelina doing the impossible. Angelina's love of music and the work and determination to create something magical to share with the world and make people happy is a gift that deserves a happy tear or two. This is the best version including those by Jay Hawkins, Nina, CCR, Annie Lennox and Bette Midler and she is barely 9 years old!

    Welcome to this unreal cover, Didy and thank for the wonderful and careful reaction. This interpretation makes understand such as Angelina, from a very young age, manages to elaborate her incredible passion and understanding for music, in particular for this type of mythical songs, in splendid way. She is surely the only 9-year-old girl who has the courage and the ability to take a Screaming' Jay song, like this one, and rearrange it according to her sensibility and musical vision of her. Me too sincerely believe that this is perhaps the most beautiful version of this song made in more than 50 years since it was written, yet there are dozens of versions, also sung by great performers. Angelina uniquely embodies the charm of naturalness and passion, she is an inexhaustible source of musical poetry.💛 🧡 ❤️

    • @didymalgia

      Yes i skipped them on purpose since i saw them 100's of times back in 2014... There is also a few songs of her lately like Shield and Million miles that i've seen and heard. I find it less interesting for you Angels to se me react to something i've already seen :)

  • @robertedwardpenn91
    @robertedwardpenn91 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Angelina wrote an incredibly emotional song called "Million Miles" in memory of her beloved grandfather who had just passed away (at that time). She was 13/14 years old. She recorded it later as her first single for her new label, Republic Records.
    Do a reaction to the black and white live studio version. It is one of three companion videos. The others are the actual official Republic video music release and a lyrics version. I highly recommend doing a reaction to the lyrics version second. It is the same recording as the official version but has graphics done by her grandmother, a noteworthy Iranian artist. With these videos, she has produced a quite stunning beginning of her career with Republic.
    Angelina commented that when she was in the studio doing the song she cried throughout the session. You can hear and see the pain she feels for her loss when you watch the live studio set. She said she wanted the song to be for anyone that had such a loss. Also, the pianist in the video is a very high up Republic executive.
    She has always put her soul and emotions into her works. She also arranges most all her music, as she has been doing since she began performing over the past ten plus years.

    • @didymalgia
      @didymalgia  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Dear Robert, Million Miles is one of the few songs i have heard and seen by Angelina, so that one is sadly not on my reaction list since i want it to be a sincere reaction. I hope you understand.
      When it comes to the song it self i must say it's beautiful.
      I lost my little sister to cancer almost 4 years ago so can very much relate and really feel that song

Like this, it is wall to wall sound from beginning to end. Towards the end, you will see the conductor turn to Angelina and laugh and shake his head. Apparently, she put a little extra spice in beyond what she did at rehearsals. Another tour de force.

You didn't have to say a word. It was written all over your face. One of the best reactions to this I've seen. She has done that to every reactor that has covered it. I believe it will go down in Music History as the most amazing performance by a 9 yr old. Screamin Jay Hawkin's also wrote 'Portrait of a Man' which you reacted to Jammin with the Band and changing it to 'Portrait of a Child' Same Band I believe also. FYI

    You're hooked. Just to see you smile and wipe a tear was priceless I did, too. You weren't the first reactor to do that.. You won't be the last. Be prepared to say, some of her versions are actually better than the original versions. Her covers of Adele and Queen are 2 good examples. Her rendition of Etta James 'At Last' comes in 2nd to her couch? cover of Etta's other classic 'I'd Rather Go Blind' when she was around 11 or 12. If you are going to react to her songs by age. Be sure to do her performance at 11 or 12 of 'Feeling Good" in the same outdoor venue, she sang 'What A Difference A Day Makes'. The other performance is good too, as it is in a indoor stage performance with strings and brass back up to the same song. Looks like you're on your way to a 1,000 subs easy. Looks like you'll only have time give happy faces for positive comments. You won't have the time to reply anymore. That's ok. One request though. Because you are from Norway, could you please educate the rest of the world on how beautiful your home is and how special artist like Angelina and Aurora are nurtured and encouraged to be these special performers and are there other artist on the horizon.
