Nate keep talking I appreciate your unabashed , open comments, I'm a 57 year old male , and every time I hear Angelina sing she brings me to tear almost every time, even if it's the tenth time I've heard that song from her
The more you listen to Angelina, the smaller the number of "good singers" becomes. I have heard so much Angelina, that now even the best, most famous, most acclaimed singers seem to be missing something. There is some bit of magic that Angelina has in her voice that I can not find in any other voice.
It's the same for me. She is the only artist I listen to since January this year. There are many great singers, but I don't have any desire to listen to them.
Angelina is the only singer with that Magic voice that grabs your heart and you hang on or life. A new singer on the block is Daneliya who is the frontrunner to win AGT 2020. She is getting rave reviews so good that you would think people are describing Angelina. Versatile, powerful, great vocal control, etc. yada.yada, yada, It is a fact that the 12 to20 crowd spend the most money on music. Just when Angelina gets a record deal along comes another competition for the almighty dollar that can make ,or break a new artist. Angelina's fan base is mostly people over 30 to 80. We have to turn out to help her by buying out record stores that sell her CD's (Target sells Republic Records artists like Taylor Swift) so the minute Angelina's albums come out target will get them. Please everybody we must support her all we can. I will buy 6, and give 4 away to friends, and neighbors. She helps us so very much,we love her so very much!!

Hello Nate - I have been watching your videos today - and I love listening to you talk - thank you so much for sharing your soul and thoughts with the rest of us. I am born an live in Iceland. I have been listening to Angelina since she won Norway got talent and she is a gift to humanity. Thank you again and i look forward to you next video - Wave
I enjoy your reactions. I am 74 and I love her songs. So much emotion and you can her all her words. A lot of singers yell to much and you can't hear any of the words. Her songs bring up alot of good memories and tears come to my eyes Have a good day Nate.
Yes you are so right. Angie can slow it down, knowing that it only makes the song better because she knows that her voice is so beautifully melodic. Imagine knowing that your voice is so good as a musical instrument that you don't really need musical instruments. This child is music.
She is a power we haven't seen in a very long time. Yes, Tempo....she effortlessly takes a song apart, and puts it back together using tempo and transition. She livingly invites us along in her unassuming genius. She is sooooo.....natural. Simple yet creative. Her control isn't control, it is.....command. I especially like her songs of faith. She is a vessel, and a connection to the muse. Your take is similarly respectful, and deep. Thank you.
Hi Nate. Yep, I wait longingly for the next chapter, the next evolution of this brilliant young lady. As to slow. I worked as a bouncer at a night club long ago. Met my share of angry drunks. The very best way to present is to talk softly, and slowly. Changes everything. We are so used to fast paced life, we crave soft and slow. AJ is a master of the seductive change in our experience we long for. Delicious.
Don't worry Nate, we're listening. Lady Gaga sang this song on the Jimmy Fallon show in 2014 right about the time AJ was announcing her presence to the world. Gaga slowed it down quite a bit too but I found it almost intolerable. When Angelina sings it, it's like a balm, or a salve, or a soul massage you don't want to end. This 10-year-old was, and is soooooo much better than so-called superstars.... sorry, don't mean to make it a comparison, but my goodness, what. a. singer!
Damian Your comment made me find the Lady Gaga version. I think Lady Gaga has incredible musical talent. But she slowed this song down so much that the melody got lost. Another thing: Gaga sang it in a sorrowful cadence and phrasing. Angelina sang it as a reminiscence of how the goodbyes are bittersweet, but the remembrances even give us a rare smile from Angelina. It’s one more amazing thing about Angelina. The ten year old gives us a beautifully nuanced interpretation that leaves us feeling calmed and even upbeat, while still delivering the feelings of separation from a loved one.
@@johnvasi I think the reason Lady Gaga's slowed down version loses the melody is because she gives too much space between the lines. The real beauty of this piece is the subtle melodic differences between the lines. Angelina has the musical understanding to respect that connection while slowing it down.
Be You, Talk away!! This is my absolute favorite Angelina cover💜. Angelina has a sense of patience when she sings. She appropriately let's the song build and bloom in it's own timing. Leaving the listener with a fuller experience of the song. That is an underrated skill.
Ah, yes! You remind me that as Christmas gets closer, I'll be pulling out her Christmas songs, some of which I've never heard! I've been saving them, to discover their ornaments in the season.
This one is just straight from a heavenly realm, she causes the rain to fall from the eye sockets. This is just pure liquid gold and platinum to the ears.
She does not need much of musical instruments. Her voice itself is music. Don't care if she will become diva or kind of such thing, but she's clearly a musical artist. Btw, I love to listen to you. We are the same, old guys who are amazed by this young girl.😊
Yeah, that's me, old guy. So strange, inside I'm maybe 23yo, but I kinda like the older thing. So much of depth and wealth of stories, and a disregard for popular fashion and presentation. Yes, and the wisdom that comes when you spend years seeking it... I like being older.
Her voice is so smooth,, I love her music, song for A is another fantastic, performance by Angelina. God Bless her. Thank you for playing her music, and your reactions are fine. Peace out.
I love reaction Videos, where we can talk about what brings us here together. Angelina has always a Message for us. When you follow her IG Channel, you know what i mean. Today she told, she love us all so much. And we love her too, in what she is doing and being. Her first own Song, what is life, tells a lot of love what you are doing and the people around you. Thats what we need for a better future 💖💓🌺🤗
I feel that this performance is particularly good because of the outdoor setting that somehow is so intimate, the soft natural light. The emotions are so real, she is saying goodbye to Oslo before a trip the the USA. I hope that she can visit Oslo in the not too distant future. Angelina dropped into New York to make a recording of Fly me to the Moon for the LinkedIn advertisement- another really good performance. So many exceptional performances at the age of 10!
@@natevibe5817 А еще мне очень трогает ее скромность и достоинство! Абсолютная незвездность ,а погружение в песню. Ребенок показывает не себя,а дарит свой талант людям. Вот это выступление прям за душу:th-cam.com/video/EFu4_cpY858/w-d-xo.html
I like it when you talk. Because you actually have something to say. There is enough of emptiness in words all over youtube, but not that many who has the ability to move me 😊 Thank you for reacting to this absolutely beautiful piece of art. Angelinas back phrasing and negative space, is out of this world. Thank you, Nate 👍
I am honored. The only emptiness I wish to speak is that outpouring from the heart of things that touches every soul, and is every soul. And happily for me, Angelina reminds me - no, embodies me in that. Just to hear her voice... And my restless heart grows quiet.
Thank you for sharing Nate. Angelina is a master of interpreting song. What ever changes she's made to music seems to be the right thing to do at the time. Angelina has a God given talent in expressing what she wants through music. As I've stated before the future of music is in good hands with others and of course Angelina. Her ability to be able to move us is extraordinary. Thumbs up sir.
Like and hear your words and thoughts, it is so true that we must be true to what we are good at and like and do. Yours to talk and Angelina Jordan to sing and my communication ability is to paint. Funny you notice the effect on the pace, there is such a high pace in the world now. The world really needs to calm down so it does not spin away completely. And from her low tone, I learn that low vibator is very important for calming the body's system.
Sometimes I hum deep and low tones... Soothing to the mind, softening anxiety, giving oxygen and getting in the moment. And feeling the world like an artist does, in the moment of creation.
It is impossible to hear a better version of this song. Ella was fantastic but Angelina is simply unbelievable and let us not forget, she's doing it not in a studio but instead in a casual rooftop performance performance.
The thing that I notice when Angelina sings, enhanced by slowing the tempo, is that she makes you understand the lyrics completely. I never thought about what Yellow Brick Road was really about until I heard Angelina sing it. She doesn’t throw away any words. On a song like this one, she is treating every word in the lyrics as though it’s key. Lyricists must love Angelina because she brings out what they’re trying to say. Having that unique mesmerizing, soothing voice doesn’t hurt at all, either. Yes, this is an Ella Fitzgerald song. Here is a mash-up of Ella and Angelina singing it. Yes-we can compare a 10 year old to the incomparable Ella. th-cam.com/video/U_uSOa7uM8k/w-d-xo.html She has definitely learned from the great singers, but it’s still 100% Angelina riveting us with a delivery and voice that still startles me even after I’ve listened so many times.
Nate, you are so humble and genuinly curious and true to self. You are a beautiful mind and a kind of very rare smart talker-thinker-doer. You always offer to your viewers to share with you an intelligent conversation and food for thought. In that sense, Alan Papier and you are kindred spirits. We are blessed to be freely led by you in our journey to self-discovery through the awesome work trajectory of Angelina. These are some of the reasons i subscribed to your channel, the main one being your affection for Angelina. Her theme here is to be associated with her original song Oslo, that i like to call the new anthem of Norway and an ode to Oslo. To make a shift twice (at 6:12 and 7:32) from a low tone to a higher one, i notice that she needs to move her left arm somehow to operate the switch while staying in tune. I notice that, for the first time maybe, she smiles openly while she sings: she looks so very happy to be and to remain in the present moment. The Song for A is the finest piece of musical poetry that i have ever heard. Others slower tempo in a song would be California Dreamin, Wake Me Up, Moon River and Summertime (at 10 years old with an orchestra.) Stay safe and healthy, Nate!
Excellent choice. This doesn't seem to be among the the more popular AJ songs. I find the purest, most touching of all her performances...but I lived in the Ella era.
She has so many hidden gems. It's easy for me to re-listen to all my favorites, which are also what most reactors listen to. It's awesome checking out new ones. There are still new ones!
Haha! It's your channel, do what you like. Folks don't have to hang around if they're bothered. This is one of my favorite Angelina songs and, yes, I, too, want it to continue for much longer. Her voice is so sublime. Howie Mandel (who I don't give much credit to as a judge of talent), said on AGT that Angelina was hypnotic. That our only focus is on her and nothing else. I have to agree with that. Slowing it down only brings us more and more into her world. I get lost in her voice everytime. I lose sight of the background because I'm only focused on Angelina, Ella was pretty slow as well. The comparison between one of the greats and Ella, oops I mean and Angelina, a 10 year old, is striking. So good! Thanks.
It's fun to watch new reactors - you can often see that moment when they're caught, as if by an enchantment - entranced by her music and the silence that she carries.
Let me share how I feel in a visual way. Imagine painting pictures, there are some very talented artists, some stand out above others; then one day, some one appears and does a painting in 3-dimensions (3D) while everyone else paints in 2-dimensions (2-D). This is how Angelina stands out on her own. There are others who do the same (past and present), but not very many.
One interesting thing about this performance was that Angelina was about to leave Norway to live in the US for a while. I read that it was actually later that day that she was leaving, so this was a farewell to her beloved Oslo.
I watched that video fifty times perharps, and it is the first time that I see clearly in Angelina's face and the tickness of her hair the beautiful trace of her rich armenian inheritance from her grandmother. In the seduction and attraction process, there is always one element dominating others that triggers progressively our full attention and the stirring of emotions: slowness. For what is done with speediness speedily passes, but what is done with slowness slowly engraves itself with the sign of timeliness. Angelina's songs have all an air of timeliness; they seemingly do not aged. The importance of seduction and attraction in our relationship with her does not lie in its novelty, but in its timeliness. I love your videos, Nate, because, without any express warning or cautioning to that effect, you challenge us to think.
You do go on but I myself love listening to you. Please play Angelina as much as u can ok I love her. You sound like you have been a syco dr in a good way I say that ok. You speak well and normal. So thank you for you. And thank you for sharing your wisdom and sharing Angely
Your fine , go ahead and talk , i enjoy it. Yes appreciate you reaction to Angelina Jordan. I love listening whether it listening to someone talking or music. Thank you.
Yes, Ella Fitzgerald does do this song. And speaking of slowing it down, Chet Baker does a even slower instrumental version of Every Time We Say Goodbye that is simply sublime. th-cam.com/video/vP02sgYrHsw/w-d-xo.html Angelina has a special way of capturing your attention and drawing you into the music. Her voice opens your heart so that you can truly feel the music. It's really more of a spiritual experience... of being touched by an angel.
@@charlessmith1092 I think she may have been ill during the Valentine performance. Her voice sounded weak and she struggled to hit some notes. I've only heard her do that when she was sick e.g. "I'll Be There" Swedish performance.
Sublime indeed, like most everything from Chet Baker. I wish reactors would discover him. I have many of his CDs, can load up the player and listen to him all day.
Hi Nate! Thanks for another excellent reaction to my favourite singer. This performance was beautifully perfect for one reason only, which can be described in one word "Angelina" Nuff said. By the way, speak as long as you like. I'll be listening to the end.
About the choice that Angelina does of slowing down some songs it's because she really savours each word, giving it a new meaning and leaving all of us hooked to her voice. This performance is a masterpiece! At 11 years old she is unparalleled! (BTW, I went to listen to Lady Gaga's version and didn't like it one bit! There's no denying LG is a great artist but Angelina gives her a run for the money for sure!)
Slow tempo and few instrumentation:This shows how self confident she is about her vocal abilities.She won so many hearts that there is already some channels dedicated excluively to her.
We are here to share something unique and special. I enjoy your perspective, thoughts and reactions to this am amazing young artist. I too am always wanting the song to go on and sense their ending much too soon. Keep the reactions coming, and don't limit expressing your thoughts. It is what makes this whole medium so special.
Re slowing songs down..Wicked Game and California Dreamin come to mind..Nate I feel just the same way as yiu about this once in many a lifetime musical instrument..I'm in awe of her as a person too..my best wishes to you Nate.
I had a bit of a giggle when you stopped half way to make a comment, only to admit you had no words for that moment. 😀😀.Now, for someone who has alot to say on most things and to be struck speechless, says a hell of alot by the enigma that is Angelina, when she sings.
Thank you for the introduction to this lovely singer! Please tell me that you are familiar with the late Queen of Slowdown, Shirley Horn. Run don't walk to "Summer (Estate)" from the absolutely stunning album "Here's to Life".
Her performance of this classic Cole Porter (1935) song is simply Fantastic! And she's 10. WOW! One of the strengths (IMO) of Angelina is her restraint. As you said, she likes to slow it way down; even songs that are already slow. She's just a master at doing that and creating something new. She has done that to perfection with "California Dreamin'". Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/EBI7Km3z7-U/w-d-xo.html Slows it way down, changes some notes, makes it acoustic with Ivan on the guitar, and gives it a bluesie, jazz vibe. And creates a brand new song---a MASTERPIECE! This is my favorite Angelina performance. She is 12 and this is one of the first performances with her Neumann microphone that she got for her 12th birthday. I hope you will react to it Nate. You won't be disappointed. Of course, you wouldn't be with any AJ performance you reacted to. Thanks mucho! 😊💕
Angelina Jordan,( from her cd, It's Magic.)..Speak Softly Love. Please react to this one. The cd version, the band backs her (doesn't overpower) and her voice is amazing! Not sure if anyone ever reacted to this one.
The only way I can describe Angelina's unique talents is to compare 2D to 3D - she adds a dimension to a song that changes it completely. It's obvious when you do a side-by-side comparison to other great singers. Her voice and technique and...something... makes the others sound two dimensional - flat and not nearly so inviting. She is a musical savant. Hmmm, what was I doing at 10 years old?
When she does a classic Cole Porter number like this and its mid-way between pop and jazz she reminds me of Judy Garland. I think most people think of jazz when they think of Cole Porter but he cut his teeth on Broadway and you don't get any more pop than that. His songs are sophisticated yet accessible. She puts a little jazz phrasing on some parts but sings it straight for the most part. She seems to have some innate understanding of how to treat a song so that it's original intent comes out. Like a great chef who makes a classic recipe but still make you feel like you've never really tasted it before.
Interesting that you notice the similarities between this one and Yellow brick road. Yes she makes sure we hear the lyrics and we feel the meaning as she can relate it for us in every song she does. Yellow brick road was her good-by to AGT. The show had already made concessions to her to get her on allowing her to retain rights to the songs she did on the show but the negotiations for her to go on and possibly win [and yes the shows are rigged] broke down as any contract was too constrictive. She refused to sign so Yellow brick road was the perfect song for her to choose to say good by. She changed one word from the original. The original was "I didn't sign up for you", hers "I didn't sign up With you". The camera takes a quick shot at Simon after that line, Howie in the comments [after the song] says I hope the supper fans vote for you, but we'll see what happens. Simon says You're decision was risky and I'll always remember that. And Howie and Simon go on this long dialog about how old the song Yellow brick road is. Seemed out of place to talk among themselves so much till you imagine the contract negotiations likely included the idea that she needed to do more "sale-able" more modern songs. The record deal she has now signed, no doubt is much better than Simon was offering and no intimidation was going to work to take her their way. Yellow brick road says it all. Angelina says it all every time she sings. Truly a gift to the human race. She must be protected by natural forces and sharing her with as many as we can is our way of helping the world when you think about it. Two interesting anecdotes: ; She did want to sing for Simon. When she was just 3 years old and she saw Simon on TV for the first time, she turned to her mom and said I want to sing for him. Her mom had to sweetly tell her your too young. Maybe when your older, ...so her journey to him was born ..and in a large part to allot of the rest of the world! [after her recognition from NGT] [part of natures plan it sure seems for her to be recognized by many more] And another to share; Many try to explain AJ's talent and most use words like out of this world, re-incarnated, old soul, alien, and so forth. I think all are trying to say the same thing. Here's what she has to say: At twelve in an interview when asked the first question "when I see you on stage I wonder who do you feel that you become?" [fishing for a particular artist, I'm sure] Her answer was: "When I sing I go to another world. It’s ...in the world it’s like an endless. It's amazing. It's like full of happiness. And I love ...It's amazing." [her exact words] She brings that world to us, just for a time when she sings. Whatever you believe that place she goes to may be. Great to have you on the journey. Just subscribed. Thanks for sharing.
Indeed, I totally get what people mean by "angel" and "from another planet"... In fact, I almost wrote a short story about how she came from another world... However, I generally prefer to think of her as human, subject to foolishness and error... It makes her performance and her innocence that much more impressive. She is a marvel.
Hola, muy buena reacction, me hiciste reir cuando sugeriste el que quiera hiciera un salto al video, a los Argentinos nos encanta hablar y filosofar, estamos acostumbrados de entrar a un bar y hablar y hablar, te llevarias bien con nosotros jajaja; cuando te referis a su lentitud al cantar estoy totalmente de acuerdo, crea un clima impresionante que no me da nadie, hasta escribo despacio para no alterar el clima que me dejo Angelina y mientras estabas reaccionando en una de los cortes en medio de la cancion, creo que hablabas bajo, quizas sin darte cuenta para no romper ese clima que solo ella te da en la cancion, es como si estivieras en la mejor parte de una pelicula y estas totalmente concentrado y atrapado, jajaj, vez que hablo mucho tambien a travez de la escritura jajaja, gracias por la reaccion, y a la espera de otra de Angelina, espero que la traduccion exprese lo que quiero decirte, saludos desde Argentina...
Ahora tengo ganas de visitar un bar en Argentina, conversar y escuchar y beber algo frío ... Gracias por darme la sensación de que podría visitar allí y ser bienvenido!
Nate - Another great reaction to Angelina. I am so happy you chose to do this one. You are right, it was Ella who sang the definitive version on her 1956 recording, "Ella Fitzgerald Sings The Cole Porter Songbook". There were two volumes of it and they both became instant classics. Never feel like what you want/have to say isn't important. As long as you feel it is relevant, you have the right to say it. Let the naysayers go to other channels. You're too good for them anyway. If you want to hear Angelina really slow something down, react to her cover of Chris Isaac's "Wicked Game" (the black and white version). It is a literal masterpiece. Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/5IAMF4FDfw4/w-d-xo.html . Thanks again for sticking with Angelina. We fans can't get enough of your comments!
Wicked Game absolutely floored me. And thank God for this version - the other one is fun to look out, but totally clashes with the song. This one calls you with its images...
With this particular performance, she actually performed it at the same tempo as Ella Fitzgerald. You can see this in a comparison video here - th-cam.com/video/U_uSOa7uM8k/w-d-xo.html

Straightforward, pure and full of the texture that grabs your soul...
It's the simplicity of Angelina's delivery of the song that gets into your soul that makes her so great. Love love this beautiful lady.💝💝💝💝💝
Just the most beautiful thing! The singing, the lyrics, the accompaniment, the setting, the audio quality, the visual presentation. Etc etc.

Yeah, that's me, old guy. So strange, inside I'm maybe 23yo, but I kinda like the older thing. So much of depth and wealth of stories, and a disregard for popular fashion and presentation. Yes, and the wisdom that comes when you spend years seeking it... I like being older.
I always enjoy it when honest intelligent people share their thoughts and then follow it up with a little Angelina for desert. Well done.
Thank you. That's my plan!
This is smooth jazz perfection by a 10 yo! It's a Top 10 Angelina song for me, I really love it.
Her voice is so smooth,, I love her music, song for A is another fantastic, performance by Angelina. God Bless her. Thank you for playing her music, and your reactions are fine. Peace out.
I love reaction Videos, where we can talk about what brings us here together.
Angelina has always a Message for us. When you follow her IG Channel, you know what i mean. Today she told, she love us all so much. And we love her too, in what she is doing and being. Her first own Song, what is life, tells a lot of love what you are doing and the people around you. Thats what we need for a better future 💖💓🌺🤗
I feel that this performance is particularly good because of the outdoor setting that somehow is so intimate, the soft natural light. The emotions are so real, she is saying goodbye to Oslo before a trip the the USA. I hope that she can visit Oslo in the not too distant future. Angelina dropped into New York to make a recording of Fly me to the Moon for the LinkedIn advertisement- another really good performance. So many exceptional performances at the age of 10!

you're doing a great job, Nate.
Спасибо за реакцию!!!
Анджелина -услада для ушей!!!
Безусловно, восторг!
@@natevibe5817 А еще мне очень трогает ее скромность и достоинство!
Абсолютная незвездность ,а погружение в песню.
Ребенок показывает не себя,а дарит свой талант людям.
Вот это выступление прям за душу:th-cam.com/video/EFu4_cpY858/w-d-xo.html
I like it when you talk. Because you actually have something to say. There is enough of emptiness in words all over youtube, but not that many who has the ability to move me 😊 Thank you for reacting to this absolutely beautiful piece of art. Angelinas back phrasing and negative space, is out of this world. Thank you, Nate 👍
I am honored. The only emptiness I wish to speak is that outpouring from the heart of things that touches every soul, and is every soul. And happily for me, Angelina reminds me - no, embodies me in that. Just to hear her voice... And my restless heart grows quiet.
Really like your calm and intelligent reaction to this wonderful and genius girl. To follow her into the future will be an great adventur. 😎🇸🇪👍
Good words, thank you. And I love the smile that I caught her smiling (in my thumbnail)...
Thank you for sharing Nate. Angelina is a master of interpreting song. What ever changes she's made to music seems to be the right thing to do at the time. Angelina has a God given talent in expressing what she wants through music. As I've stated before the future of music is in good hands with others and of course Angelina. Her ability to be able to move us is extraordinary. Thumbs up sir.
Like and hear your words and thoughts, it is so true that we must be true to what we are good at and like and do. Yours to talk and Angelina Jordan to sing and my communication ability is to paint.
Funny you notice the effect on the pace, there is such a high pace in the world now. The world really needs to calm down so it does not spin away completely.
And from her low tone, I learn that low vibator is very important for calming the body's system.
Sometimes I hum deep and low tones... Soothing to the mind, softening anxiety, giving oxygen and getting in the moment. And feeling the world like an artist does, in the moment of creation.
It is impossible to hear a better version of this song. Ella was fantastic but Angelina is simply unbelievable
and let us not forget, she's doing it not in a studio but instead in a casual rooftop performance performance.
Angelina is just perfect as far as I'm concerned she can sing anything I just love her From Denise in England 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👼🏻💖😘👋XX
The thing that I notice when Angelina sings, enhanced by slowing the tempo, is that she makes you understand the lyrics completely. I never thought about what Yellow Brick Road was really about until I heard Angelina sing it. She doesn’t throw away any words. On a song like this one, she is treating every word in the lyrics as though it’s key. Lyricists must love Angelina because she brings out what they’re trying to say. Having that unique mesmerizing, soothing voice doesn’t hurt at all, either.
Yes, this is an Ella Fitzgerald song. Here is a mash-up of Ella and Angelina singing it. Yes-we can compare a 10 year old to the incomparable Ella. th-cam.com/video/U_uSOa7uM8k/w-d-xo.html She has definitely learned from the great singers, but it’s still 100% Angelina riveting us with a delivery and voice that still startles me even after I’ve listened so many times.
Nate, you are so humble and genuinly curious and true to self.
You are a beautiful mind and a kind of very rare smart talker-thinker-doer.
You always offer to your viewers to share with you an intelligent conversation and food for thought. In that sense, Alan Papier and you are kindred spirits.
We are blessed to be freely led by you in our journey to self-discovery through the awesome work trajectory of Angelina.
These are some of the reasons i subscribed to your channel, the main one being your affection for Angelina.
Her theme here is to be associated with her original song Oslo, that i like to call the new anthem of Norway and an ode to Oslo.
To make a shift twice (at 6:12 and 7:32) from a low tone to a higher one, i notice that she needs to move her left arm somehow to operate the switch while staying in tune.
I notice that, for the first time maybe, she smiles openly while she sings: she looks so very happy to be and to remain in the present moment.
The Song for A is the finest piece of musical poetry that i have ever heard.
Others slower tempo in a song would be California Dreamin, Wake Me Up, Moon River and Summertime (at 10 years old with an orchestra.)
Stay safe and healthy, Nate!
There are no words she is amazing In Every way
Excellent choice. This doesn't seem to be among the the more popular AJ songs. I find the purest, most touching of all her performances...but I lived in the Ella era.
She has so many hidden gems. It's easy for me to re-listen to all my favorites, which are also what most reactors listen to. It's awesome checking out new ones. There are still new ones!
I APPRECIATE YOU! TALK ALL YOU WANT!
A vocal velvet diamond!
Haha! It's your channel, do what you like. Folks don't have to hang around if they're bothered. This is one of my favorite Angelina songs and, yes, I, too, want it to continue for much longer. Her voice is so sublime. Howie Mandel (who I don't give much credit to as a judge of talent), said on AGT that Angelina was hypnotic. That our only focus is on her and nothing else. I have to agree with that. Slowing it down only brings us more and more into her world. I get lost in her voice everytime. I lose sight of the background because I'm only focused on Angelina, Ella was pretty slow as well. The comparison between one of the greats and Ella, oops I mean and Angelina, a 10 year old, is striking. So good! Thanks.
Gary, that was no Freudian slip. I get it!
It's fun to watch new reactors - you can often see that moment when they're caught, as if by an enchantment - entranced by her music and the silence that she carries.
Let me share how I feel in a visual way. Imagine painting pictures, there are some very talented artists, some stand out above others; then one day, some one appears and does a painting in 3-dimensions (3D) while everyone else paints in 2-dimensions (2-D). This is how Angelina stands out on her own. There are others who do the same (past and present), but not very many.
One interesting thing about this performance was that Angelina was about to leave Norway to live in the US for a while. I read that it was actually later that day that she was leaving, so this was a farewell to her beloved Oslo.
I watched that video fifty times perharps, and it is the first time that I see clearly in Angelina's face and the tickness of her hair the beautiful trace of her rich armenian inheritance from her grandmother.
In the seduction and attraction process, there is always one element dominating others that triggers progressively our full attention and the stirring of emotions: slowness.
For what is done with speediness speedily passes, but what is done with slowness slowly engraves itself with the sign of timeliness.
Angelina's songs have all an air of timeliness; they seemingly do not aged.
The importance of seduction and attraction in our relationship with her does not lie in its novelty, but in its timeliness.
I love your videos, Nate, because, without any express warning or cautioning to that effect, you challenge us to think.
I'm so glad I can challenge and evoke others just by speaking as I am, without really trying. The magic speaks itself.
@@natevibe5817 I never saw an Eckart Tolle, for instance, trying to challenge us: he just does it, as a true master.
You do go on but I myself love listening to you. Please play Angelina as much as u can ok I love her. You sound like you have been a syco dr in a good way I say that ok. You speak well and normal. So thank you for you. And thank you for sharing your wisdom and sharing Angely
I so agree with you about how wonderful she is. And thank you for you
Your words are food for my heart.
Your fine , go ahead and talk , i enjoy it. Yes appreciate you reaction to Angelina Jordan. I love listening whether it listening to someone talking or music. Thank you.
Nice insightful reaction!
Always good to talk 👍 Hi from the UK.
Howdy from Texas. (That's definitely the first time I've ever said that...)
Hi Nate,watched many times,a late comment, this rendition by Angelina is as smooth as butter,even before butter was invented.
Yes, Ella Fitzgerald does do this song. And speaking of slowing it down, Chet Baker does a even slower instrumental version of Every Time We Say Goodbye that is simply sublime. th-cam.com/video/vP02sgYrHsw/w-d-xo.html Angelina has a special way of capturing your attention and drawing you into the music. Her voice opens your heart so that you can truly feel the music. It's really more of a spiritual experience... of being touched by an angel.
@@charlessmith1092 I think she may have been ill during the Valentine performance. Her voice sounded weak and she struggled to hit some notes. I've only heard her do that when she was sick e.g. "I'll Be There" Swedish performance.
Sublime indeed, like most everything from Chet Baker. I wish reactors would discover him. I have many of his CDs, can load up the player and listen to him all day.
Hi Nate! Thanks for another excellent reaction to my favourite singer. This performance was beautifully perfect for one reason only, which can be described in one word "Angelina" Nuff said.
By the way, speak as long as you like. I'll be listening to the end.
"...to the end." Wow, I'm honored. Thank you for that.
About the choice that Angelina does of slowing down some songs it's because she really savours each word, giving it a new meaning and leaving all of us hooked to her voice.
This performance is a masterpiece! At 11 years old she is unparalleled!
(BTW, I went to listen to Lady Gaga's version and didn't like it one bit! There's no denying LG is a great artist but Angelina gives her a run for the money for sure!)
her phrasing is second to none, founded in her incredible breath control, developed from the very start.
Thoughtful comments from this reviewer. Nice.
Loved your reaction u doing great and I like the way u talk 🙏🙏👍👍💙💙
I bow to you, with gratitude. 🙏🏻
Every time I watch this video I can imagine Ella in the hereafter saying "Sing it, Honey" with love and admiration.
I love listening to you .
Love what you have to say..( especially with that beautifully resonant voice).. lol!
Oh, stop. You'll turn my head.
A song you can tell Angelina really loves ....
Slow tempo and few instrumentation:This shows how self confident she is about her vocal abilities.She won so many hearts that there is already some channels dedicated excluively to her.
We are here to share something unique and special. I enjoy your perspective, thoughts and reactions to this am amazing young artist. I too am always wanting the song to go on and sense their ending much too soon. Keep the reactions coming, and don't limit expressing your thoughts. It is what makes this whole medium so special.
Re slowing songs down..Wicked Game and California Dreamin come to mind..Nate I feel just the same way as yiu about this once in many a lifetime musical instrument..I'm in awe of her as a person too..my best wishes to you Nate.
And to you...
I like the things you say and how you slow it down - thank you very much!
Yep. It's nice to back off from the "subscribe now!" frenzy, and just relax and breathe...
You are great teacher.
OK, got a big smile from that one!
I like the way she slows down songs. It suggests that the singer is contemplating of the meaning. Thus, she sings it with feeling.
She is only 10 year in this performance.
"a month long"
I had a bit of a giggle when you stopped half way to make a comment, only to admit you had no words for that moment. 😀😀.Now, for someone who has alot to say on most things and to be struck speechless, says a hell of alot by the enigma that is Angelina, when she sings.
Beautiful song, good reaction 😉
Thank you for the introduction to this lovely singer! Please tell me that you are familiar with the late Queen of Slowdown, Shirley Horn. Run don't walk to "Summer (Estate)" from the absolutely stunning album "Here's to Life".
Her performance of this classic Cole Porter (1935) song is simply Fantastic! And she's 10. WOW! One of the strengths (IMO) of Angelina is her restraint. As you said, she likes to slow it way down; even songs that are already slow. She's just a master at doing that and creating something new. She has done that to perfection with "California Dreamin'". Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/EBI7Km3z7-U/w-d-xo.html Slows it way down, changes some notes, makes it acoustic with Ivan on the guitar, and gives it a bluesie, jazz vibe. And creates a brand new song---a MASTERPIECE! This is my favorite Angelina performance. She is 12 and this is one of the first performances with her Neumann microphone that she got for her 12th birthday. I hope you will react to it Nate. You won't be disappointed. Of course, you wouldn't be with any AJ performance you reacted to. Thanks mucho! 😊💕
Angelina Jordan,( from her cd, It's Magic.)..Speak Softly Love. Please react to this one. The cd version, the band backs her (doesn't overpower) and her voice is amazing! Not sure if anyone ever reacted to this one.
The only way I can describe Angelina's unique talents is to compare 2D to 3D - she adds a dimension to a song that changes it completely. It's obvious when you do a side-by-side comparison to other great singers. Her voice and technique and...something... makes the others sound two dimensional - flat and not nearly so inviting. She is a musical savant.
Hmmm, what was I doing at 10 years old?
After watching her on Norway's Got Talent, one reactor exclaimed, "8yo? I was still eating dirt!"
"And then I hear Angelina …" Yep.
LADY JAZZ ...A.J
I like your style...
Thank you.
When she does a classic Cole Porter number like this and its mid-way between pop and jazz she reminds me of Judy Garland. I think most people think of jazz when they think of Cole Porter but he cut his teeth on Broadway and you don't get any more pop than that. His songs are sophisticated yet accessible. She puts a little jazz phrasing on some parts but sings it straight for the most part. She seems to have some innate understanding of how to treat a song so that it's original intent comes out. Like a great chef who makes a classic recipe but still make you feel like you've never really tasted it before.
I think the phrase is "A league of her own."
Freedom of speech. First Amendment. Don't let the losers drag you down.
👍😊❤️
Interesting that you notice the similarities between this one and Yellow brick road. Yes she makes sure we hear the lyrics and we feel the meaning as she can relate it for us in every song she does. Yellow brick road was her good-by to AGT. The show had already made concessions to her to get her on allowing her to retain rights to the songs she did on the show but the negotiations for her to go on and possibly win [and yes the shows are rigged] broke down as any contract was too constrictive. She refused to sign so Yellow brick road was the perfect song for her to choose to say good by. She changed one word from the original. The original was "I didn't sign up for you", hers "I didn't sign up With you". The camera takes a quick shot at Simon after that line, Howie in the comments [after the song] says I hope the supper fans vote for you, but we'll see what happens. Simon says You're decision was risky and I'll always remember that. And Howie and Simon go on this long dialog about how old the song Yellow brick road is. Seemed out of place to talk among themselves so much till you imagine the contract negotiations likely included the idea that she needed to do more "sale-able" more modern songs. The record deal she has now signed, no doubt is much better than Simon was offering and no intimidation was going to work to take her their way. Yellow brick road says it all. Angelina says it all every time she sings. Truly a gift to the human race. She must be protected by natural forces and sharing her with as many as we can is our way of helping the world when you think about it. Two interesting anecdotes: ; She did want to sing for Simon. When she was just 3 years old and she saw Simon on TV for the first time, she turned to her mom and said I want to sing for him. Her mom had to sweetly tell her your too young. Maybe when your older, ...so her journey to him was born ..and in a large part to allot of the rest of the world! [after her recognition from NGT] [part of natures plan it sure seems for her to be recognized by many more] And another to share; Many try to explain AJ's talent and most use words like out of this world, re-incarnated, old soul, alien, and so forth. I think all are trying to say the same thing. Here's what she has to say: At twelve in an interview when asked the first question "when I see you on stage I wonder who do you feel that you become?" [fishing for a particular artist, I'm sure] Her answer was: "When I sing I go to another world. It’s ...in the world it’s like an endless. It's amazing. It's like full of happiness. And I love ...It's amazing." [her exact words] She brings that world to us, just for a time when she sings. Whatever you believe that place she goes to may be. Great to have you on the journey. Just subscribed. Thanks for sharing.
Indeed, I totally get what people mean by "angel" and "from another planet"... In fact, I almost wrote a short story about how she came from another world... However, I generally prefer to think of her as human, subject to foolishness and error... It makes her performance and her innocence that much more impressive. She is a marvel.
Hola, muy buena reacction, me hiciste reir cuando sugeriste el que quiera hiciera un salto al video, a los Argentinos nos encanta hablar y filosofar, estamos acostumbrados de entrar a un bar y hablar y hablar, te llevarias bien con nosotros jajaja; cuando te referis a su lentitud al cantar estoy totalmente de acuerdo, crea un clima impresionante que no me da nadie, hasta escribo despacio para no alterar el clima que me dejo Angelina y mientras estabas reaccionando en una de los cortes en medio de la cancion, creo que hablabas bajo, quizas sin darte cuenta para no romper ese clima que solo ella te da en la cancion, es como si estivieras en la mejor parte de una pelicula y estas totalmente concentrado y atrapado, jajaj, vez que hablo mucho tambien a travez de la escritura jajaja, gracias por la reaccion, y a la espera de otra de Angelina, espero que la traduccion exprese lo que quiero decirte, saludos desde Argentina...
Ahora tengo ganas de visitar un bar en Argentina, conversar y escuchar y beber algo frío ... Gracias por darme la sensación de que podría visitar allí y ser bienvenido!
Hello from Dublin I love to talk.
🤗💕
He needs to shut up and let her sing . She is amazing
Nate - Another great reaction to Angelina. I am so happy you chose to do this one. You are right, it was Ella who sang the definitive version on her 1956 recording, "Ella Fitzgerald Sings The Cole Porter Songbook". There were two volumes of it and they both became instant classics. Never feel like what you want/have to say isn't important. As long as you feel it is relevant, you have the right to say it. Let the naysayers go to other channels. You're too good for them anyway. If you want to hear Angelina really slow something down, react to her cover of Chris Isaac's "Wicked Game" (the black and white version). It is a literal masterpiece. Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/5IAMF4FDfw4/w-d-xo.html . Thanks again for sticking with Angelina. We fans can't get enough of your comments!
Wicked Game absolutely floored me. And thank God for this version - the other one is fun to look out, but totally clashes with the song. This one calls you with its images...
🥰
With this particular performance, she actually performed it at the same tempo as Ella Fitzgerald. You can see this in a comparison video here - th-cam.com/video/U_uSOa7uM8k/w-d-xo.html
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ This is the example I use most often to illustrate why people say that Angelina has the voice of an angel. Here are some other jazz legends singing "Every Time We Say Goodbye":
Ella Fitzgerald: th-cam.com/video/WOllc918mcE/w-d-xo.html
Natalie Cole: th-cam.com/video/t1Yq6Y7rwc0/w-d-xo.html
Shirley Bassey: th-cam.com/video/WCdMIQoTzWc/w-d-xo.html
Sarah Vaughan: th-cam.com/video/_47cG58h-XE/w-d-xo.html
Thanks, these were really fun - and educational - to listen to!
Try Daniela Tuleshova.....Rise Up....she's is brilliant too!
Will see u talk forever
Please play Dimash kudaibergen. ‘SOS,SINFUL PASSION,DIVA DANCE,ADAGIO, THERE ARE ,many ANY MORE. JUST TO TO HIS CHANNEL. He is 26 now, many of the songs were from 2018. He will blow you away. He can sing in 7 octaves, slide from the lowest notes to the highest. He can hit high notes and hold them better than Mariah Carey. Please check him out. I agree Angelina is fantastic, but he’s a man, so it’s nothing to try to criticize Angelina. Thanks, Karen Snyder
I only wish I could do a dozen reactions in a week! So much music, so little time...
peggy lee, fever
A good gauge for whether you're talking too much and whether you're losing the listener's attention is to count the number of times you say, "I".
A four-minute rant about talking too much is a little ironic don't you think?
U all need slow music/Just coz u r not understand THE WORDS/
We don,t want listen yr history/ We want Yr reaction to singer/
I wish she would just relax a little and not sound like she is trying so hard. And she needs a little coaching on her low notes.
It'll be a joy to watch her already stunning voice develop over the years... So much room for growth...
