We will never know for sure how Angelina, at such a young age, can convey tremendous emotion in her singing. My theory has to do with Angelina's desire to help others, especially poor children. I like to believe she was given the gift of song to bring attention to her humanitarian causes. I can't think of anything more emotional than thinking of children who have nothing and very little chance to improve their situation. I believe Angelina thinks of them while singing and believes if she can sing to the best of her ability, she can help those children.
Whitney was 29 when she recorded this with a full studio production and I heard that it took her over 20 tries to get it where she wanted ! Angelina had just turned 13 a couple of months before this performance and with nothing but a backing track did it JUST ONE TAKE!! That's our Barefoot Princess , more talent than any one human should have !! Of course all of Angelina's fans know that she is not human -- She is an ANGEL sent down from Heaven by the Good Lord to entertain us all and help Heal the World !!
While a sweet gesture, she will change the world, when she runs out of vocal techniques to learn, she will invent her own, and at least in part mold the face of music, if we are lucky she will challenge the very concept of music, and redefine it.
One take at 13 years old is who Angelina is ! No auto tune just pure voice and a beautiful respectful rendition of Whitney ! She also added her own style to make it her own ! Whitney would have loved this I'm sure ! Angelina is our barefoot princess and we love her dearly ! Thank you for this and I appreciate your heartfelt commentary ! Jeep posting ! 👍🤗🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️
For me, Angelina brings the meaning of the lyrics out, every song I have heard Angelina sing i understand better and appreciate the original even more. Only one other singer has done that for me. Elvis.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊🌏
You are to reactions True what Angelina is to music! Passion and Truth! Emotions and Love. You look like you feel every breathy word she sings right down to your very soul and for that you pay her the respect she deserves. Bravo my good man Bravo!. She is truly the complete package but so wonderfully humble with it. Keep bringing the love True!
T, from all the people who I’ve already watched reacting to Angelina, I can say that you’re one of the few that can understand her in all her completeness. Angelina is thousands of light-years ahead of most singers, even the super famous ones. As you said, she hits our chest, she resonates through our hearts in a way that she becomes unforgettable, we fall immediately in love deeply with her. She is a gift from heaven. Every time i listen to her, my soul is refreshed and my faith renewed. Angelina is the perfection of God depicted as a human being. Great job, T!
I can’t wait to see this old soul sell out huge stadiums. She is the only artist I’m interested in risking Covid to go see. I’m a complete nut over this kid. She sings to my soul and I’m excited to live in this time with her. (Great reaction BTW. I really appreciate your respectful commentary! Cheers!!)
True, we got a double dose of Angelina singing this song for us. Not only do we hear, and feel, the soulfulness in her voice every time she sings but, in this unique moment she is singing a tribute to Whitney Houston because she so admires her and wanted to do this very, very much. True, Angelina is a love machine and she wraps herself around the message of love in the song she is singing. What we hear is absolutely genuine. The soulfulness, the emotion, the love, all come from deep within her and we feel it. And, there is something else going on, too. She always sings 'for us'. She wants us to be happy and she wants us to feel the love in her heart. She plants the seeds of goodness within us and she wants us to take it from there and spread the goodness, the love, to one another so that the process of making the world a better place to live for everyone becomes more and more a reality. How about this as a little clue about what is going on: If you've heard her sing this 1000 times and are about to listen to it for the 1001 time, the feeling you get when you are listening is comparable to the first time you heard her. Because you are listening to Angelina and you are feeling Angelina. She will never leave your heart.
Another wonderful reaction TDS. You certainly realize that this young girl here was singing directly to you, the hand gestures, the glances to the camera, the body movement....all of that was Angelina singing to us....not at us, but to us all. Just how she is....pure artist with an ability to reach right into your heart and your soul and give it a big hug. Angelina is phenomenal and this is one of her greatest performances among the 100's of others. Thanks for sharing and great to see you back with Angelina...love your reactions TDS.
Hello my friend. May this find you in good health and spirit. Again, Angelina has taken my breath away. Your reaction is everything and more with her music. I always wait for your reaction before I listen to any of her songs now. Thank you again for showing your true spirit and love of music for us. Stay strong my friend. God bless you and see you soon..🦋
I love your reactions on Angelina. It's hard to believe that a young girl can sing so advanced that actually blow you away. Angelina makes you feel what she is singing about. She has no clue how that would actually feel. And she sings like she has experienced the loss. Amazing.
What a wonderful reaction to this version of Angelina singing this song. You hear and feel her as so many of us do .. with wonder and huge love and respect .. so thank you for s great reaction .. and thank you for your willingness to FEEL this song Do you know there is a more recent version from two months ago (Angelina now 16 years old).. please watch it after this and see how her voice has developed .. it is gorgeous .. it will be interesting for you to see it after this one from 3 1/2 years ago.
@@truedarkseed there's another cover of a Whitney Houston song out there. It's a cover of One moment in Time and it's done by Dana Winner check out her live version it's quite phenomenal !!!!
Think about this song as being expressed by a tiny baby for its mother. It will hit you deeper. As children, our emotions are more raw, unfiltered, and overwhelming than at any other time in our lives. The difference with Angelina is that she gave a voice to it at an age when most humans can’t. We forget. We think children don’t feel as deeply as they do. We pass on our pain to them and then we have a hard time remembering how deeply we felt emotions when we were little.
T, You’ve discovered that Angelina is absolutely fearless in who she chooses to cover, past or present. Angelina always pays homage to and gives great respect to the greats that she covers.
Her name means “little angel” in Italian. How propheticly she was named! One commentator said that she emerged from the womb, not crying but singing. When ever I watch her it seems that she is singing it’s just to me. I love her like one of my grandkids. Keep doing Angelina reactions. You are my favorite reactor hands down !!
What's up True! Yeah, this is a difficult song to sing, but she did her thing. No lie, I was a little worried before listening to this the first time. When she was done, I made a stank face because I was so impressed and proud. LOL Angelina is already my favorite artist to listen to. This young lady has greatness written all over her and she's only 16! Man, who knows how high her ceiling is??? Great reaction as always. Best wishes and God Bless!
Thank you for mentioning the little subtleties that make this such an incredible performance for a 12/13 yr old. To me it's the softer tones she uses that truly envelop Whitney's emotions in this song. So much soul and a beautiful landing with perfection bringing out the softer tone. You can see in her face that she does struggle to get to the high notes and she gets a little out of breath but after all there are a lot of words in this song and if it was just an audio recording and not being able to see her I would never notice! The bottom line is that she did get the high notes with her belts. Amazing. IMO, Whitney was the greatest vocalist in my lifetime (66 yrs) and Angelina delivered a great tribute to Whitney's legend, RIP. Would love to see Angelina cover this again with a band and her own arrangement. Love your reactions True. Take care.
Thank-you. The fact that she was 13 and still did such an amazing job with such a hard song is outstanding. This song is a test power, dynamics, and breath control. There are very few singers, especially 13 year old singer that can handle this beast of a song.
@@truedarkseed you should see the newer version of this. She was straining by the end to keep up in this one. I think she was 16 when she re-recorded it where they did the Elvis cover video
Just love your reactions to AJ; you convey it all !!!! Stunning, disbelief, awe and finally admiration. Well, you are now a true believer in our barefoot princess... Thank you and looking forward to more of your reaction to Angelina 😁
You say SOOOO MUCH in those first minutes of her performance and say no words at all. THANK YOU. I'd never have recommended any singer BOTHER setting themselves up as a comparison with Whitney in what I consider Whitney's toughest vocal performance. Yet... AJ's better than perfect. By the way - I am SOOOO GLAD you donate your whole bod & face to the video screen. We are, after all, here to see YOUR reaction. THANK YOU.
Angelina is totally amazing and I really appreciate your comments on Angelina I just found out something today in the in the news I live in Minnesota and the queen of Norway is actually visiting here in Minnesota for 3to4 days now I'm not talking about Angelina talking about the actual queen of Norway royalty which is really kind of cool I wonder how many Minnesota's know about her visit in here it's really crazy cool my interest in Norway started just because of Angelina Jordan… I say God bless Norway and it's nice to have the actual royal queen out here....
I would not ever walk away from Angelina… she is able to capture the meaning and emotion of the song at a ridiculously young age. I think the love of her family is infused in this song.
Thank you for another emotional reaction. Always a joy to watch them, it is so evident that she hits you hard each and every time. At this point in her career Angelina did a lot of experimenting and growing her voices, more of her belting voices, her voluminous voices, her frying voices, everything to prepare for the AGT some months later. In my opinion she had some limitations in completing the songs. She was just very good, not extremely legendary good in finishing her songs. That limitation was gone some month later, where she masters the crescendo like no others. But with that said, this was a one or two take live recording just days after she became a teenager, she almost reach the professional produced Whitney Houston version. Compare it to any of WH live versions, in those versions Whitney is wise, she limits her high note belting probably to reduce the risk of balancing on the edge of her voice like Angelina does here. Looking forward to your next AJ reaction
Hello again True, my friend. I'll comment as I watch, so I'll edit as I go..LOL About her age in this one. It was posted in March 2019, suggesting that she was 13 years and 2 months. However, there is a debate, not that is really matters, it's beyond great no matter how you look at it. But many of her fans, me included, think that this one was actually recorded when she was still 12. But, like I said, that's academic. Just wanted to throw it out there :-) LOL! You just restarted it for the 2nd time. Loving it !! That was a CRAZY good reaction ! Your appreciation toward Angelina is one that can not be mistaken, and that is just lovely to watch. You are definitely one of those who TRULY understand what you're witnessing. Tho in some respects I don't really like to drag her age TOO much into the equation, in this one her age is of the essence. You are of course aware that this is one of the most demanding songs to sing ever. Lung capacity wise it is incredibly demanding. And, as we all know, at age late 12 or very early 13, the lungs are FAR from fully developed. Now, at age 16, they probably still arent't, which is crazy scary to thnk about tbh :-) Still Angelina was able to do this, singing to a backtrack in a one or two take recording. No auto-tune, no post processing, no nothing. Just standing there in her room, almost casually delivering this masterpiece. We all have Whitney's original burned into our mind, because it is one of the most iconic songs ever, performed by arguably the greatest female singer of all time. R.I.P. STILL we have to keep in mind that that original is the result of an extreme high budget production where each and every (if any) minor imperfection had been redone and polished off. Not taking anything away from WH :-) Just mentioning it to be able to compare the two performances through the right lens. Also age 12/13 vs age 29. You know, up until this point in time, there had been quite a few people claiming that Angelina could not belt. And tbh, she hadn't really shown anyone that she COULD, so you may understand where the claim stemmed from. In many ways, I think this was Angelina's answer to those claims. It's as if she said "HERE! Hold my shoes!!! " LOL Those claims were never heard again :-) Enough from me already, have a great weekend m8, and stay safe! And stay on the Angelina path. It's the right path to be on. Love from Norway :-)
You said everything. I pointed out the power also. This was the perfect song to put the haters to rest. there are grow women that can not sing this song. It is a killer of singers and a 12/13 year old girl killed the song instead. Just wait till she hit her full singing voice, can you imagine?
You look just like i do everytime this beautiful young lady opens her mouth and noise comes out lol. Angelina is the BEST EVER, male or female in my humble opinion.
Well i can just say thank so much for doing this reaction to angelina. Yes she is an amazing young legend singer. I can't wait for july the 10th this summer because our angel gonna have three concert in norway and i have ticket for the concert ON the 10th of july in my home Town Sandefjord. Its gonna be an amazing concert.
@@truedarkseed yes i know this will be my second time on a concert with angelina . My first one was back in 2019 and here is a link to that concert if you want to react to it. th-cam.com/play/PLbc1I8fGx6k3fTXq3BQHyriCW8E21PguV.html
Oh man I just love your reaction to this song! It shows your true compassion and love and more importantly you are not ashamed to show the world your true emotions as a man. I love you soooooo much!!!
T, Just watching your reaction all I can think to say is, Yeah. You know it. She really was that good, at thirteen years old. Whitney would have been very proud to hear such an amazing dedication to her greatness.
@@truedarkseed Thanks so much for your response! Your reaction was priceless. The value of the moments of silence in your reaction were powerful! The negative space helped to elevate the profundity of her performance.
I love your reaction every time you hear Anelina. How you have to get hold of yourself every time, with the most beautiful incredulous look that says, that's not possible, she doesn't sing it herself. Angelina is a jewel that you can't get enough of. No matter what she sings, she always grabs you from the first note and you wish that she wouldn't stop singing, just too good to be true. And it's written all over your face every time.... I love it.
13, man, 13... 😳😳😳 One of the greats, this girl, and she is only a teenager... That is mindblowing ❤️😳 Think about 5 years in time from today... and what she will be capable of... wow, that thought almost hurts 🤣 I am so I awe of this girl, the amazing Angelina Jordan Astar ❤️
Think about this Angelina 13 years old with with this beautiful amazing tribute to Whitney, Whitney 28 years old with her original! Absolutely amazingly gorgeous!
I loved and still love Whitney. You never felt she was holding back. You always knew you were getting !05% of what she was capable of. Angelina takes the same song and puts her own spin on it. Can you imagine having the two of them on the same stage together. WOW!
Yes sir ,she is the real deal. I'm 77 and I can see the light at the end of the trail. I hope I get to stay but I already know I won't hear any angels singing better than the best of them.
Howdy TDS, Man, your reactions are so on the mark! Especially with this wonderful Angel of talent - your comments reminding people to listen to the lyrics, and then to listen how AJ interprets them were so perfect. Then to listen to the emotion in her voice... Such an amazing talent, we are so blessed that she shares it with us. Have a good one, sir. Cheers, R.
Thank you for the beautiful reaction! Angelina is a powerhouse, but never showing off for effects or dramatic vocal athletics. She testing limits here with this song, belting her heart out, and presents an emotional, soulful and captivating version. She can sing anything, though where she really shines is in the Jazz genre.
I so glad she did this song. This is a song that people use to test a singers ability because it is so hard to sing. There is so much technical things going on that the average listener doesn't understand. They just recognize big voice power and not the things that make that matter, like breath control, the ability to belt out then immediately drop to a softer tone, etc...
@@truedarkseed Her sense for tempo, rhythm, negative space was put into her cradle, and she immediately knows/feels how a song should be sung, but is very aware of her abilities/limits as well. In Republic Records they said that she is one of the very few artists (besides Sam Smith and Beyoncé) who can sing a song in one take. E.g. all the sessions with Ivan Mendez in L.A., sure you´ll react to those, they sat down and improvised songs she likes spontaneously, and the results are marvelous.
Each reaction I wonder which one's going to get to you the most, and this one got closest LOL. I think at this point you have gone from trudarkseed to trulyenlightenedseed! You have gone from believer to bigger believer to convinced and enlightened. Where else can you go from here? You got to plunge deeper into the rabbit hole to find out. I look forward to more.
You know only little while after this David Foster asked her to sing at a charity event and there is a short clip of AJ and David rehearsing. David wrote, arranged and produced this song for Whitney.
Great reaction, the expressions on your face say it all. Angelina has an ability to express the story of a song, as though it is her story. She goes where ever the music takes her, fearlessly, without reserve. I'm sure that David Foster was a fan of her already, after this - at another level. David has worked with her a number of times, I feel sure that they will work together in the future.
Great reaction and commentaries! I feel the same, lol! This is what you call a true prodigy. I do recommend if you haven’t listened to her original song “Million Miles”, I truly recommend this. She wrote this song at age 12, just after her grandfather passed away and she says it’s for anyone who has suffered a loss. It’s cathartic and healing and her abilities in this song really shines and her brilliance. Please enjoy whenever you can. Pretty much anything by her is amazing. She truly is a “real” talent in this world right now. From California.❤️🕊🌈🍀😇🙏❣️
Hello Michelle. Thank you for your awesome comment. It is much appreciated. I have a reaction to "Million Miles" on the channel. It was a very heart felt loving song and it came at the right time for me.
Hope you can react to Angelina I'm still holding out for you when she was 10 years old. It's not on Angelina channel but do a search believe me you will not be disappointed. Great reaction
An great reaction my friend , ur silence and face at the beginning said it all hehe When she hit that last high sound, where she went down and then straight up in a belt at the end, that one always make me think off some thing special .Is an Norwegian thing ..It's like when a ski jumper take off from the jump with an perfect take off and soar into the air , flying down and stick the landing perfectly ; )) And to think u barely scratch the surface buddy.....like i said before , she's gonna do this to you over an over ; ) have a good one buddy , take care an stay safe, and see u at the next one ; ))
👍another great reaction👍 Before people start saying that Angelina is STRUGGLING cuz she didn't go as high as Whitney's original,, but we all know that Angelina never does it the same as the original in everyone of her covers period,, Just to point out what I mean whitney never had vocal fry in her vocal arsenal and Angelina did use her vocal fry in parts of this song,, 👣🌬🌎
Angelina goes EXACTLY as high as Whitney here - that is, as high in the original studio recording. In live performances, Whitney usually lowered it a half or even full step. That is perfectly OK, of course, especially if you are on tour and have to perform every other night.
@@Bustefaen I do get what your saying her power is as high as Whitney's but the key/pitch of the note is lower,, Whitney's is closer to breaking glass than Angelina's was,, if that make sense?? lol,, it's the only way I can explain it,,lol,, That's what I get when vocal coaches say that she's struggling with that note,,, 👣
@@davidfehlman5150 First, I am not here to quarrel, and a song doesn’t get better or worse depending on the key it is in. So please don’t take offense at what is simply at technical matter. Angelina is singing in exactly the same key as Whitney, as this beautiful mashup will tell: th-cam.com/video/OW-5yqwfT0o/w-d-xo.html . But at 12/13 (there is some debate about recording versus posting), Angelina didn’t quite have the POWER of Whitney (at 29), so she starts to run a little bit out of steam towards the end. It is hardly noticeable, but yes, vocal coaches will pick up on it. (The great Whitney herself sadly, in her later years did not have the power to get through the whole song in one go, so she would lower the key and insert many “artful” breaks. RIP.) More importantly, belting out this kind of huge pop diva song is not what Angelina usually does. Normally, she would strip down the arrangement, slow down the tempo and make the song her own. Here, she mainly changes the phrasing, timing (more jazzy and after the beat) and some other nuances. I saw someone make a great comment about that, saying a lot about Angelina’s versatility: “Why is a jazz singer doing a Whitney song? Because she can!” Have a lovely day!
This is such a true reaction. You pause and say nothing right away because what can you say to a voice like that. Everytime you paused, it was right when I paused when I first saw it. I can't believe how mature she sounds.
Amazing heartfelt soulful performance. A rare occasion where she shows she can really blast and blast high. I think I hear her voice getting a little tired towards the end. Which is to be expected with this song and her age. She also covered Whitney's 'When you believe' from Prince of Egypt. She keeps that song of hope on a soft tone. Really beautiful: th-cam.com/video/uAlVzI8-5hQ/w-d-xo.html
The male equivalent I believe is Gabriel Henrique's cover of this song. Anything sung by Gabriel is top tier unique. I grew up with Whitney. I personally prefer Angelina' s lower register. At age 25- what will she sound like? Just wow!
Hi from Portugal! Loved all your reactions to Angelina! Congrats, you seem really genuine on your reactions!! If you want to open another door like Angelina, or probably even more amazing, react to Dimash!! And if you do so, you must start with his version of the song "SOS"! Stay safe!
Angelina is reincarnation of all big black queens from USA. White little girl with tremendous black soul and Voice. You my dear TPH, you are listening with soul, never seen nobody like you - man with head in his hands and devastatation soul. Devastation because too much emotions.Your reaction is so great and beautiful - like Angelina's voice. I can writte the book about your reactions. :-) sorry for english, not my first langaugae.
I have a suggestion. Angelina 10 years, "I'm still holding out for you", and 7th heaven 16 year , her own song. And Stay. Love from Norway 🇳🇴 I will keep asking again and again until you do. Lol.. Or get tired of me. 👍

Whitney was 29 years old and did this in an advanced studio. Angelina was 13 and did this at her home set up.

Angelina has been blessed and has lived many lives she has all the past great singers inside of her and it's a wonderful thing wild
She is amazing
Think about this song as being expressed by a tiny baby for its mother. It will hit you deeper. As children, our emotions are more raw, unfiltered, and overwhelming than at any other time in our lives. The difference with Angelina is that she gave a voice to it at an age when most humans can’t. We forget. We think children don’t feel as deeply as they do. We pass on our pain to them and then we have a hard time remembering how deeply we felt emotions when we were little.
I can watch her all day. Dancing while cleaning.
I can too
We are witnessing the growth of a prodigy child thru adolescence which will probably be one of the greatest vocalists in history
That we are my friend, that we are.
Remember she is only 13 years old. She has so much soul. She is special and we are very fortunate to see this artist performance. Crazy crazy!
T, You’ve discovered that Angelina is absolutely fearless in who she chooses to cover, past or present. Angelina always pays homage to and gives great respect to the greats that she covers.
She is totally fearless
Her name means “little angel” in Italian. How propheticly she was named! One commentator said that she emerged from the womb, not crying but singing. When ever I watch her it seems that she is singing it’s just to me. I love her like one of my grandkids. Keep doing Angelina reactions. You are my favorite reactor hands down !!
Thanks Jerome, I definitley will
What's up True! Yeah, this is a difficult song to sing, but she did her thing. No lie, I was a little worried before listening to this the first time. When she was done, I made a stank face because I was so impressed and proud. LOL Angelina is already my favorite artist to listen to. This young lady has greatness written all over her and she's only 16! Man, who knows how high her ceiling is??? Great reaction as always. Best wishes and God Bless!
Thanks @rw716 I appreciate you. You're right, how far can she go? As far as she wants to go. She is unstoppable and will acheive all she wants to.
Thank you for mentioning the little subtleties that make this such an incredible performance for a 12/13 yr old. To me it's the softer tones she uses that truly envelop Whitney's emotions in this song. So much soul and a beautiful landing with perfection bringing out the softer tone. You can see in her face that she does struggle to get to the high notes and she gets a little out of breath but after all there are a lot of words in this song and if it was just an audio recording and not being able to see her I would never notice! The bottom line is that she did get the high notes with her belts. Amazing.
IMO, Whitney was the greatest vocalist in my lifetime (66 yrs) and Angelina delivered a great tribute to Whitney's legend, RIP. Would love to see Angelina cover this again with a band and her own arrangement. Love your reactions True. Take care.
Thank-you. The fact that she was 13 and still did such an amazing job with such a hard song is outstanding. This song is a test power, dynamics, and breath control. There are very few singers, especially 13 year old singer that can handle this beast of a song.
@@truedarkseed Facts
@@truedarkseed you should see the newer version of this. She was straining by the end to keep up in this one. I think she was 16 when she re-recorded it where they did the Elvis cover video
Just love your reactions to AJ; you convey it all !!!! Stunning, disbelief, awe and finally admiration. Well, you are now a true believer in our barefoot princess... Thank you and looking forward to more of your reaction to Angelina 😁
Thank you. It is such a joy listening to her
You say SOOOO MUCH in those first minutes of her performance and say no words at all. THANK YOU. I'd never have recommended any singer BOTHER setting themselves up as a comparison with Whitney in what I consider Whitney's toughest vocal performance. Yet... AJ's better than perfect. By the way - I am SOOOO GLAD you donate your whole bod & face to the video screen. We are, after all, here to see YOUR reaction. THANK YOU.
Also, I loved how you worked out the math, shaking your head all the more, realizing how old she was for this performance.
Angelina is totally amazing and I really appreciate your comments on Angelina I just found out something today in the in the news I live in Minnesota and the queen of Norway is actually visiting here in Minnesota for 3to4 days now I'm not talking about Angelina talking about the actual queen of Norway royalty which is really kind of cool I wonder how many Minnesota's know about her visit in here it's really crazy cool my interest in Norway started just because of Angelina Jordan… I say God bless Norway and it's nice to have the actual royal queen out here....
That's awesome!
I would not ever walk away from Angelina… she is able to capture the meaning and emotion of the song at a ridiculously young age. I think the love of her family is infused in this song.
Thank you for another emotional reaction. Always a joy to watch them, it is so evident that she hits you hard each and every time.
At this point in her career Angelina did a lot of experimenting and growing her voices, more of her belting voices, her voluminous voices, her frying voices, everything to prepare for the AGT some months later. In my opinion she had some limitations in completing the songs. She was just very good, not extremely legendary good in finishing her songs. That limitation was gone some month later, where she masters the crescendo like no others.
But with that said, this was a one or two take live recording just days after she became a teenager, she almost reach the professional produced Whitney Houston version. Compare it to any of WH live versions, in those versions Whitney is wise, she limits her high note belting probably to reduce the risk of balancing on the edge of her voice like Angelina does here.
Looking forward to your next AJ reaction
Geir, this was a great comment and I love the technical parts
I totally love your reaction and sincerity!! Angelina is one in a billion!! Thank you so much!!❤️
Thank you too!
Hello again True, my friend. I'll comment as I watch, so I'll edit as I go..LOL
About her age in this one. It was posted in March 2019, suggesting that she was 13 years and 2 months. However, there is a debate, not that is really matters, it's beyond great no matter how you look at it. But many of her fans, me included, think that this one was actually recorded when she was still 12. But, like I said, that's academic. Just wanted to throw it out there :-) LOL! You just restarted it for the 2nd time. Loving it !!
That was a CRAZY good reaction ! Your appreciation toward Angelina is one that can not be mistaken, and that is just lovely to watch. You are definitely one of those who TRULY understand what you're witnessing. Tho in some respects I don't really like to drag her age TOO much into the equation, in this one her age is of the essence. You are of course aware that this is one of the most demanding songs to sing ever. Lung capacity wise it is incredibly demanding. And, as we all know, at age late 12 or very early 13, the lungs are FAR from fully developed. Now, at age 16, they probably still arent't, which is crazy scary to thnk about tbh :-) Still Angelina was able to do this, singing to a backtrack in a one or two take recording. No auto-tune, no post processing, no nothing. Just standing there in her room, almost casually delivering this masterpiece. We all have Whitney's original burned into our mind, because it is one of the most iconic songs ever, performed by arguably the greatest female singer of all time. R.I.P. STILL we have to keep in mind that that original is the result of an extreme high budget production where each and every (if any) minor imperfection had been redone and polished off. Not taking anything away from WH :-) Just mentioning it to be able to compare the two performances through the right lens. Also age 12/13 vs age 29.
You know, up until this point in time, there had been quite a few people claiming that Angelina could not belt. And tbh, she hadn't really shown anyone that she COULD, so you may understand where the claim stemmed from. In many ways, I think this was Angelina's answer to those claims. It's as if she said "HERE! Hold my shoes!!! " LOL Those claims were never heard again :-)
Enough from me already, have a great weekend m8, and stay safe! And stay on the Angelina path. It's the right path to be on. Love from Norway :-)
You said everything. I pointed out the power also. This was the perfect song to put the haters to rest. there are grow women that can not sing this song. It is a killer of singers and a 12/13 year old girl killed the song instead. Just wait till she hit her full singing voice, can you imagine?
@@truedarkseed IKR ? Almost scary tbh :-)
Yeah, it must be at least 2 takes on this one, because the video does not always match the audio. But it doesn´t matter :)
❤❤❤❤ANGELina ❤❤❤❤ Thank you, great reaction!
You look just like i do everytime this beautiful young lady opens her mouth and noise comes out lol. Angelina is the BEST EVER, male or female in my humble opinion.
I can see that for sure.
Well i can just say thank so much for doing this reaction to angelina. Yes she is an amazing young legend singer. I can't wait for july the 10th this summer because our angel gonna have three concert in norway and i have ticket for the concert ON the 10th of july in my home Town Sandefjord. Its gonna be an amazing concert.
That's awesome Trond! Man you're going to have a blast!
@@truedarkseed yes i know this will be my second time on a concert with angelina . My first one was back in 2019 and here is a link to that concert if you want to react to it. th-cam.com/play/PLbc1I8fGx6k3fTXq3BQHyriCW8E21PguV.html
No, you got it. She had to stretch a little, but she did it. Turns out she has good reason to be so fearless.
Oh man I just love your reaction to this song! It shows your true compassion and love and more importantly you are not ashamed to show the world your true emotions as a man. I love you soooooo much!!!
@Michelle Woodall you are so kind! Thanknyou so much!
T, Just watching your reaction all I can think to say is, Yeah. You know it. She really was that good, at thirteen years old. Whitney would have been very proud to hear such an amazing dedication to her greatness.
This is the first thing i have listened to of hers! My days..........just wow.
Love you man! Angelina Jordan is amazing for sure! Straight to the core man! Thats where it hits.
That is a fact Joseph. Thanks for the kind words also. Love you too as well as all the TDS Family out there.
@@truedarkseed Thanks so much for your response! Your reaction was priceless. The value of the moments of silence in your reaction were powerful! The negative space helped to elevate the profundity of her performance.
I love your reaction every time you hear Anelina. How you have to get hold of yourself every time, with the most beautiful incredulous look that says, that's not possible, she doesn't sing it herself. Angelina is a jewel that you can't get enough of. No matter what she sings, she always grabs you from the first note and you wish that she wouldn't stop singing, just too good to be true. And it's written all over your face every time.... I love it.
Couldn't agree more!
13, man, 13... 😳😳😳 One of the greats, this girl, and she is only a teenager... That is mindblowing ❤️😳 Think about 5 years in time from today... and what she will be capable of... wow, that thought almost hurts 🤣 I am so I awe of this girl, the amazing Angelina Jordan Astar ❤️
Scary right how much better she could get in 5 years!
That's what i'm talking about! Was wondering when you would get to this one, and you did not disappoint. Love your reactions, esp Angelina!
You're the best! Gald you enjoyed it.
@@truedarkseed I thought I was the best 🫤😂
Think about this Angelina 13 years old with with this beautiful amazing tribute to Whitney, Whitney 28 years old with her original! Absolutely amazingly gorgeous!
Well said!
So, Whitney could also sing at 13!
I loved and still love Whitney. You never felt she was holding back. You always knew you were getting !05% of what she was capable of. Angelina takes the same song and puts her own spin on it. Can you imagine having the two of them on the same stage together. WOW!
That would have broken the fabric of space and time!
🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Oh True this is why I just love watching you. I can't wait for you to come down to Indy to hang out
That sound like fun! Might have to take you up on that. I'll be down you way soon. lol
Yes sir ,she is the real deal. I'm 77 and I can see the light at the end of the trail. I hope I get to stay but I already know I won't hear any angels singing better than the best of them.
She truly is
Howdy TDS, Man, your reactions are so on the mark! Especially with this wonderful Angel of talent - your comments reminding people to listen to the lyrics, and then to listen how AJ interprets them were so perfect. Then to listen to the emotion in her voice... Such an amazing talent, we are so blessed that she shares it with us. Have a good one, sir. Cheers, R.
Thanks Ronald. I appreciate it soo much.
Amen, Truedarkseed. Thumbs up, so happy to watch your reaction sir.
Thank you kindly
Angelina loves humans, and if we are human we should all love this absolutely wonderful human being.
Awesome reaction brother Angelina's Amazing
Thanks a million. She is for real a beast
I always look forward to you reacting to Angelina, awesome like you said she is the Truth 🤙
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it
So versatile and beautiful. Voice no one will forget
Totally agree Judy!
Couldn't be more incredible talent than Angelina's
Thank you for your reaction. You are one of the few reactors that really, but really understand what Angelina achieved here.
THANK YOU !!! The first reactor to see the special it
Ms Huston h ad ! msJordan has IT too !!!
Facts!
You, sir....are the first person from a reaction video, that brought tears to my eyes.
Your heart and soul are 100% real!!
Thank you Liza. You are soo kind.
She actually has to feel the meaning of the words, to sing like that. She has the ability to move the emotions in the listener.
Thank you for the beautiful reaction! Angelina is a powerhouse, but never showing off for effects or dramatic vocal athletics.
She testing limits here with this song, belting her heart out, and presents an emotional, soulful and captivating version. She can sing anything, though where she really shines is in the Jazz genre.
I so glad she did this song. This is a song that people use to test a singers ability because it is so hard to sing. There is so much technical things going on that the average listener doesn't understand. They just recognize big voice power and not the things that make that matter, like breath control, the ability to belt out then immediately drop to a softer tone, etc...
@@truedarkseed Her sense for tempo, rhythm, negative space was put into her cradle, and she immediately knows/feels how a song should be sung, but is very aware of her abilities/limits as well. In Republic Records they said that she is one of the very few artists (besides Sam Smith and Beyoncé) who can sing a song in one take. E.g. all the sessions with Ivan Mendez in L.A., sure you´ll react to those, they sat down and improvised songs she likes spontaneously, and the results are marvelous.
Phocking u tube how have they hid this mans Angelina Jordan reactions from me for over a yr
Thank you, glad you like them
Each reaction I wonder which one's going to get to you the most, and this one got closest LOL. I think at this point you have gone from trudarkseed to trulyenlightenedseed! You have gone from believer to bigger believer to convinced and enlightened. Where else can you go from here? You got to plunge deeper into the rabbit hole to find out. I look forward to more.
I'm renting a backhoe to open the rabbit hole even wider. lol
@@truedarkseed Great comment and reply. 🤣
You know only little while after this David Foster asked her to sing at a charity event and there is a short clip of AJ and David rehearsing. David wrote, arranged and produced this song for Whitney.
Great reaction, the expressions on your face say it all. Angelina has an ability to express the story of a song, as though it is her story. She goes where ever the music takes her, fearlessly, without reserve. I'm sure that David Foster was a fan of her already, after this - at another level. David has worked with her a number of times, I feel sure that they will work together in the future.
Great reaction and commentaries! I feel the same, lol! This is what you call a true prodigy. I do recommend if you haven’t listened to her original song “Million Miles”, I truly recommend this. She wrote this song at age 12, just after her grandfather passed away and she says it’s for anyone who has suffered a loss. It’s cathartic and healing and her abilities in this song really shines and her brilliance. Please enjoy whenever you can. Pretty much anything by her is amazing. She truly is a “real” talent in this world right now. From California.❤️🕊🌈🍀😇🙏❣️
Hello Michelle. Thank you for your awesome comment. It is much appreciated. I have a reaction to "Million Miles" on the channel. It was a very heart felt loving song and it came at the right time for me.
Fantastic reaction to a true Artist that brings Pure Love to our Hearts, God Bless!
Thank you
Thank you
Angelina in her sweet way taking no prisoners! Stunning! Great reaction TDS!
😊 thank you
i have never heard anyone sing this song,covered it,better than Angelina,whitney and Angelinafan
First time with you... Loved your non-verbal reactions... I'm signed up... Thank You 💯
Thanks and welcome. It is much appreciated.
Hope you can react to Angelina I'm still holding out for you when she was 10 years old. It's not on Angelina channel but do a search believe me you will not be disappointed. Great reaction
Its coming for sure
Even I like the way she does that song. Beautiful singing, her diction is fine, no cackling and her tone is lovely. What happened???
Totally agree, a masterpiece
You can listen to her over and over, yet she keeps surprising. You just do not know what she can do even after listening again and again to her songs.
Facts
An great reaction my friend , ur silence and face at the beginning said it all hehe When she hit that last high sound, where she went down and then straight up in a belt at the end, that one always make me think off some thing special .Is an Norwegian thing ..It's like when a ski jumper take off from the jump with an perfect take off and soar into the air , flying down and stick the landing perfectly ; )) And to think u barely scratch the surface buddy.....like i said before , she's gonna do this to you over an over ; ) have a good one buddy , take care an stay safe, and see u at the next one ; ))
Thanks TOM. I appreciate all the kind words.
T, Whitney was twenty-nine when she recorded this. Angelina was thirteen in this tribute to Whitney.
👍another great reaction👍
Before people start saying that Angelina is STRUGGLING cuz she didn't go as high as Whitney's original,, but we all know that Angelina never does it the same as the original in everyone of her covers period,,
Just to point out what I mean whitney never had vocal fry in her vocal arsenal and Angelina did use her vocal fry in parts of this song,,
👣🌬🌎
Anyone that downs this because of a high note is crazy! Her power at 13 is ridiculous.
Angelina goes EXACTLY as high as Whitney here - that is, as high in the original studio recording. In live performances, Whitney usually lowered it a half or even full step. That is perfectly OK, of course, especially if you are on tour and have to perform every other night.
@@Bustefaen I do get what your saying her power is as high as Whitney's but the key/pitch of the note is lower,,
Whitney's is closer to breaking glass than Angelina's was,, if that make sense?? lol,, it's the only way I can explain it,,lol,,
That's what I get when vocal coaches say that she's struggling with that note,,,
👣
@@davidfehlman5150 First, I am not here to quarrel, and a song doesn’t get better or worse depending on the key it is in. So please don’t take offense at what is simply at technical matter. Angelina is singing in exactly the same key as Whitney, as this beautiful mashup will tell: th-cam.com/video/OW-5yqwfT0o/w-d-xo.html . But at 12/13 (there is some debate about recording versus posting), Angelina didn’t quite have the POWER of Whitney (at 29), so she starts to run a little bit out of steam towards the end. It is hardly noticeable, but yes, vocal coaches will pick up on it. (The great Whitney herself sadly, in her later years did not have the power to get through the whole song in one go, so she would lower the key and insert many “artful” breaks. RIP.)
More importantly, belting out this kind of huge pop diva song is not what Angelina usually does. Normally, she would strip down the arrangement, slow down the tempo and make the song her own. Here, she mainly changes the phrasing, timing (more jazzy and after the beat) and some other nuances. I saw someone make a great comment about that, saying a lot about Angelina’s versatility: “Why is a jazz singer doing a Whitney song? Because she can!”
Have a lovely day!
Makes me cry every time I hear it. She slays Whitney
This is such a true reaction. You pause and say nothing right away because what can you say to a voice like that. Everytime you paused, it was right when I paused when I first saw it. I can't believe how mature she sounds.
Facts, I could say anything.
That was a beautifully passionate reaction worthy of our young superstar,thank you.
Thank you
Amazing heartfelt soulful performance. A rare occasion where she shows she can really blast and blast high. I think I hear her voice getting a little tired towards the end. Which is to be expected with this song and her age.
She also covered Whitney's 'When you believe' from Prince of Egypt. She keeps that song of hope on a soft tone. Really beautiful: th-cam.com/video/uAlVzI8-5hQ/w-d-xo.html
I will have to check that one out also. Thank for the info and your thoughts of miss Jordan.
Ya . . . We know. Finally. 🌺
lol, facts
I reckon you better hear that again
Welcome to Angelina’s club, True 🙌🏼
Thak you, glad to be a part. :)
🎉
the truth can be make us crazy
“I have nothing…” about describes my reaction…
The male equivalent I believe is Gabriel Henrique's cover of this song. Anything sung by Gabriel is top tier unique. I grew up with Whitney. I personally prefer Angelina' s lower register. At age 25- what will she sound like? Just wow!
epic reaction to an epic performance
Thank you
Hi from Portugal!
Loved all your reactions to Angelina!
Congrats, you seem really genuine on your reactions!!
If you want to open another door like Angelina, or probably even more amazing, react to Dimash!! And if you do so, you must start with his version of the song "SOS"!
Stay safe!
I'll check it out! send me an email please so I don't forget
@@truedarkseed can't find your email anywhere
Play Angelina singing this alongside Whitney and you will be even more amazed.
Epic reaction! 😄 👌
Thank you
U right I think she sings like old school angel
definitely
Angelina is reincarnation of all big black queens from USA. White little girl with tremendous black soul and Voice.
You my dear TPH, you are listening with soul, never seen nobody like you - man with head in his hands and devastatation soul. Devastation because too much emotions.Your reaction is so great and beautiful - like Angelina's voice. I can writte the book about your reactions. :-) sorry for english, not my first langaugae.
All good @donkica you did just fine.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ Ангелина ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great reaction. More olease
More coming
She recorded this when she was still 12 years old. 🌺
I have a suggestion. Angelina 10 years, "I'm still holding out for you", and 7th heaven 16 year , her own song. And Stay. Love from Norway 🇳🇴 I will keep asking again and again until you do. Lol.. Or get tired of me. 👍
I promise that I won't get tired of you. Lol. I promised I will get to both of these
@@truedarkseed I cried a lot when I first heard I'm still holding out for you. It's like a R&B song but the lyrics are so so deep. 👍
Mate react if you haven't already checked her live version of this from July last year. She sang it back to back as tv producers didn't like 1st take.
I will definitely check it out
GOD put her here for a reason!
