I have heard this 100s of times. I am a 64 year old MAN who up until now never knew I had allergies, but I must because my eyes are watering and I do not cry.
So sorry for your loss, Valerie. Thanks for your wise words. Having reached the age of almost 74, I'm experiencing the loss of my closest friends. Also, thanks for your push for subscribing to Angelina's sites.
Valerie, I am so sorry for the loss of your husband. I wish there was something I could say that would help, but I know that's a fools errand. I've cried 100 times listening to this, but this is the 1st time I've cried for you. Sending virtual hugs from NY & thank you for doing this. Your thoughts are very wise & I hope your healing process goes well.
My take on crying is this; tears are washing you from the inside out. Let the tears flow. My husband transitioned four years ago and I'm still being washed from the inside out. ❤️
Valerie I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. My heart goes out to you. Thank you for all your wonderful reactions to Angelina. I hope her voice soothes you as it does me. Take care of yourself and stay safe.
Yes you are right, "Crying is healing" this is life as full of joys and pleasures is also full of sorrows and pains it's simply like a journey in a train and in every station someone will leave and once we'll also leave... Today we cry for someone and tomorrow someone will cry for us but I'm sure we'll meet all those whom we love again and souls will never separate! Thank you Valerie!!
So sorry for your loss. I lost my wife 7 years ago after being her caregiver for 6 years. I knew her days were numbered, I can’t imagine how much harder an unexpected death hits loved ones. I’ve lost track of the number of times this amazing singer had brought tears to my eyes. But she has also brought joy and amazement that helped survive the restrictions Covid placed on our lives.
So sorry for your recent huge loss! But how wonderful that you shared your tears and were able to stay connected with this very personal performance of Angelina! She is a comfort for many souls, but so were you! Thanks!!!
Val, I lost my eldest sister on January 8th of this year. Hearing Angelina sing this song in remembrance of her grandfather and then seeing her cry made me cry in remembrance of my sister.
Valerie I saw this reaction posted just before going to sleep but put off watching until I awoke, knowing how emotional it would be. I cry each time I see Angelina cry. Bless you for your comments dealing with grief. I am so very sorry for the loss of your husband. Please honor his life by living yours to make him proud. Valerie thank you so very much for encouraging viewers to subscribe to Angelina's channels. Much love.
Valerie, I am so sorry for your loss. The unexpected losses are always the hardest on us. I have lost many people unexpectedly over the course of my life, and I always find that music and art is a great way to help us through the grieving. Whether you are the one creating it, or you are just the one observing and absorbing it. It always helps. On the subject of Angelina... It seems that Angelina always turns to music in her times of grief. She has done many tributes over the years for people that are important to her.... "wake me up", "natural woman", "trampoline", are a few, and her "always on my mind", and of course her "Million Miles" are probably the most hard hitting for me as they are both about her grandfathers.
big hugs to you. The one thing we can all understand together is the loss of those we love. As long as we are breathing, we share this grief. Thank you for sharing your reactions
Thank you for this wonderful reaction, Valerie, and I'm very sorry for your loss. You mentioned that making your videos helps you, and I find listening to Angelina very therapeutic myself. I believe that she has genuine compassion for anyone who is suffering, and she said that her song Million Miles was dedicated to anyone who had lost a loved one. She dedicated this heartfelt performance to her paternal grandfather who passed away in March of 2018. She wrote, "Our family lost a treasure today, my grandfather passed away. He was very close to me and always supported me in everything I did. He always made me smile, laugh and gave me great life lessons. He was a man who got respect from all over the town, always helped people in need, he was the definition of a true gentleman and generous man with a big heart. He will be remembered by homeless people he helped to be able to make a living. He was in deep pain for a couple of months now, he will no longer suffer from the pain. May he rest in peace, our memories together will stay forever in my heart. Until we meet again, ❤️"
I've learned so much for AJ, which feels strange since she is so young. Some how, this video came up and I noticed I never responded to any of the sweet comments. And interestingly enough, I dreamed last night that my husband was sitting right next to me on the couch. I knew he had passed but I wanted to appreciate his visit.
Valerie, I'm so sorry for your loss but glad to see that you are coping as well as you are. I almost do not call this a reaction. Rather it was a cleansing. Listening to Angelina here always makes me cry. It brings back memories of those I have lost and I feel her pain. I think we all feel grief in these situations of loss but we handle it differently. The key is to be able to move forward as both Angelina and you have done.
This one always chokes me up, It was so brave of Angelina to do this video so soon after losing her grandpa. The emotion she puts out here is palpable.
Angelina is probably the greatest living storyteller and this is also thanks to her empathy. She is not afraid to show her feelings about her and shares the suffering of others, to the point of taking off her shoes to give them to a girl who is deprived and promising that she will perform barefoot until all the children in the world have the shoes. And this she promised at the age of six. Ricoda San Martino, from Wikipedia: "In the harsh winter of 335 Martin met a semi-naked beggar. Seeing him suffering, he cut his military cloak (the white chlamys of the imperial guard) in two and shared it with the beggar."
Valerie your empathy and feelings is so magnetic it draws me in, that might seem a strange comment coming from a stranger, but sending my love sweet Valerie, your emotions touched my heart.
My condolences for your loss, Valerie. Angelina can bring me to tears any time she chooses to. I love this video - it's so pure, so honest, and so heartfelt. 😎
I always find this video of Angelina's painful to watch because I feel her grief, but I keep coming back because of her beautiful voice and her honesty in putting this out for all to see. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope this video helps you at this time. We all need Angelina, I think, to get us through life.
Oh, hun… I am so very sorry for your loss. You are such a lovely human being. Life’s journey can be so unfair. And, yes, expressing grief is both needed and necessary. I absolutely love your musical knowledge and how you articulate it into your reactions. My favorites are when you react to Angelina - it’s how I first found your channel. 🤗 This performance kills me every time I see it. Thank you for being vulnerable and genuine. Hugs and respect. xo.
The number one thing her "Shield" can't protect her from. Her angels could only grieve with her, if she shared it, and she did. Thank you again, Angelina. I am still astonished by your gift.
She has lost both grandfathers fairly close apart. You can see a photo of her Scandinavian grandfather behind her and can just imagine how much emotion she had to fight off as long as she could, Finally, at the very end , you can see her emotion coming forth but it just accentuates this beautiful tribute that much more. Hopefully, he's somewhere in the 'here after' to see this.
Something tells me she treated her grandpa just as she should have and loved him the way she could have too. This is so tough to watch but I watch out of respect for Angie. Sorry for your loss Valarie. I suffered a heavy loss at the beginning of the pandemic and I will be forever in Angie’s debt for helping me through the process.
There is a saying about not intruding on private grief. It is brave to make one's grief public. I cried watching this clip and I'm not afraid to admit it. As the Dutch say, "Sterkte".
Angelina chose this song because her grandfather passed away and it is the first song she dedicated to him. Of course after that came the song Million Miles which she recorded in his honor. Among them you can also see a picture of him in the song "Happier" where she realizes that despite the great sorrow she has to continue a song also dedicated to Avichai with whom Angelina was in a musical relationship until the moment he decided to commit suicide. 😖 A.J is 🗣🎙👑
This song was for her paternal grandfather (Swedish) who died in 2018. Million Miles was dedicated to her maternal grandfather (Japanese) who died in 2020.
About three years ago this video introduced Angelina to a lot of people on you tube. I was one of them. The beautiful journey started at that moment. Today, because so much of her recent work is regularly listened to it takes a while before newer followers get to hear and see this video. To them it must be a startling experience. Yes, they already knew what she does to them and , they "get it". But, they will all graduate to another level after listening to this. Her most inner feelings touch us so much we allow our hearts to take it all in and love is flowing in every direction. Yes, Valerie, crying is healthy. Our brain takes a back seat and our heart takes over and reminds us we are beautiful, compassionate and lets us express our emotions openly. Even when Angelina is not singing for us at the moment, at any particular time we can feel her presence in our heart. Call it what you want. Love, proud, respect, happiness but, it you think about it, never sadness. Oh, she sings about sadness often but there is always hope in the same song. I'll end my comments this way. I'm sure many people have experienced the following situation and may have addressed it the way I do and will do until everyone in the world knows who she is. I'll be telling someone about Angelina and the people who don't "get it" yet suggest to me I'm going overboard and dismiss my comments lightly. As if it was a phase I'm going through and will get over it. I explain to them, without arguing, I understand where they are coming from but I am not alone. Thousands upon thousands (perhaps millions) of people around the world feel as strongly as I do about her and perhaps they need to take another look at what's going on and give her another listen. If there is anyone in the world who can unlock the love sealed in someone's heart, it is her.
@Robert DeMartin Your last paragraph describes exactly what I experienced with my sister in law for the last year. But she's starting to get her after listening to her tiktoc "House of the rising sun". Her smile on her face finally validated my passion for this incredible voice and beautiful human being in every sense of the word.
Well said. We , Angelina followers feel exactly the way you do. She is a prodigy, very special, and most reactors feel the same. There is no female singer like her on the planet.THANKS
Angelina was so close to her grandpa I think she just regrets that she didn’t spend as much time with him as she feels she should but she definitely adored him so much Hope your ok Take Care sending lots of love from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴👼👸🏻👏👏👏👍💕🥰👋💞💞💞
It’s such a sad and wonderful performance. Great for relieving grief for those who lost loved ones. It is heart breaking to see her almost break down a few times through and cry at the end.
@@VocalSplendorStudios For Angelina is is clearly so! I had some losses the past months and music played a beautiful part in the services. Music is soul food :-)
I love your reactions Valerie. This was such a tough one to watch, as we all feel like Angelina is our daughter in a way. If I'm not mistaken, this was recorded right after the funeral, which is why they were both dressed in black. It's as if she needed a song performance to properly grieve, because music is so much a part of her life. God bless you and so sorry for your loss.
@@VocalSplendorStudios In addition to being so sweet and knowledgeable, what a class act you are to respond to a year old comment. Thank you. So looking forward to our Angelina journey.
I am sorry for your loss, Valerie. Thank you for sharing 💕 Yes grieving is a process and it’s different for all of us and it’s different depending on who you’ve lost. Crying is always good, in my opinion. Take care of yourself now.
Loved your reaction to this❤️ She sings with so much depth and feelings. Yes, you are allowed to cry, we need to share our tears with each other, and thank you for sharing you feelings and tears with us❤️I have been thinking of you since you told us about your husband. I want to give you a big hug. Use the time you need to heal. I lost my mother in 2019, it was also sudden death, and at first it was such a big shock. The grief will get better over time, but the missing part will always be in our heart❤️ Love from Norway✨
Thank you so much. This video just showed for me and I realized I never came back to respond to comments. Interestingly enough, I had a dream that my husband was just sitting on the couch with me. I knew he was only visiting.
Angelina's grandfather passed away 6 days earlier. This recording was done right after they got back from the funeral. This wasn't a music video as much as it was Angelina's last heartfelt words to her Grandpa. It was a raw spontaneous video with Ivan Mendez accompanying her softly on guitar. God bless you Angelina. 💝 Whenever I feel down, I listen to Angelina. She bring me to a place of peacefulness and serenity.
Thanks Valerie for this wonderful reaction and for sharing your pain. For me this is probably one of the sweetest and most painful interpretations of Angelina, for the overflowing emotion she transmits in this slow version of the song and it is very sweet the moment in which she is overwhelmed by tears, but even in pain he still wants to finish the song. And Iván accompanied her on the guitar in an extremely respectful way. 💛 🧡 ❤️
Lots of loving memories hit me every time I watch this performance. Million Miles and What is Life do the same. At 72 I've lost many family members and close friends. I still have conversations with several of them in dreams now and then or just seeing and hearing something brings back sweet memories. When we join them only memories of us will be left behind and I hope the good out weigh the bad.
Interestingly enough, this video popped up to me today and i realized I never went back to thank everyone for their support. An coincidentally, I had a dream about my husband last night. We were just talking on the couch. I knew he was passed away but it was good to see him happy.
lamento tu perdida ,me encantan tus reacciones de Angelina, ella es simplemente increíble, y con tus reacciones, son una convinacion maravillosa , un abrazo a la distancia, desde Argentina, ese lugarcito al final del mapa , mucha fuerza 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
If only there weren't that musical interlude near the end, she might have made it through the whole thing. But you can see that she was getting increasingly emotinal as she waited to sing again, and you can immediately hear it in her voice when she resumes (as did Ivan - notice how he looks at her). This was posted to her CoverChannel within a week of her grandfather's death, which was (AFAIK) right around the time she and her family moved from Norway to the US. I'm still amazed that she posted this. If this had happened to me, I probably would have been like, "Oh, well, I tried. It just didn't work out." But she posted it for all the world to see (and not only to YT, but also to FB). I would ask, how can a 12-year-old be so mature? But I already know the answer.
Oh my god, I just cant imagine what you must be going through and I really wish there was something I could say to make a difference. Im just so very sorry.
May I request your reaction to this amazing performance by Daneliya Tuleshova "Not your war" by Okean Elzy th-cam.com/video/-YoDsibwzCI/w-d-xo.html Is an Ukrainian song written after the 2014 war with Russia which lead to the annexation of Crimea to Russia. Is now more actual than ever to spread this words of peace. It's the final performance in the The Voice Kids Ukraine 4th season 2017. She barely keeps tears at bay when she sings and is really shaken during the final comments as the spectators and the judges. There are Russian subtitles (don't select the auto-generated one) and the auto translation to english works well. This is the transcript: Daneliya's words at the end of the song: Well, maybe it is enough? I have a dream to live in a country Where we're united Where every child and every family is happy Where I can be a human Where there's no war and hatred Where we can courageously move forward Where I see light and don't see weapons Where I'm proud of you and myself... Coach comment translation: Monatik: It will be better to tell how it all began... When we were working on the final song I asked Danya (diminutive from Daneliya) what did she want to sing? She replied that she adores "Okean Elzy" group. And I asked her "What song do you want to sing?" She replied: "The War That's Not Yours". And I thought: "Such a little girl... Whether she can feel and understand such a complicated song? I asked her to sing and I was just flabbergasted. Daneliya, I just want to tell you, dear Daneliya Tuleshova, you have to understand that you are held responsible... As far as I understand you are now the Voice of all the children of our planet... You have a great mission here... I'm honestly sure about it... And soon you will understand how important this mission is. That is why I'm deeply honored to touch to your creativity, to work with you, it's an honor for me to be your coach in the project the Voice of Ukraine... And regardless of the outcome of this project, you can feel by every particle of your body of what is happening... On any language, you can convey what is deep down in your heart... And you are really incredible. Thank you for everything you do on this show... And God willing you will be the world's greatest star... And I'm glad that here, on the Voice of Ukraine, we have such a kid... Thank you very much!
I've heard this performance 60 or 70 times and each time I tear up when Angelina tears up. And is always because of her pain.
It's real. She was brave to put it out there!
"we need to cry"... amen to that.
sorry for your loss
how profound that a girl so meek is able to stir up the compassion in all of us...
Thank you so much!
You're a brave soul. Bless you and good luck in the rest of your journey.
Thank you so much!
I have heard this 100s of times.
I am a 64 year old MAN who up until now never knew I had allergies,
but I must because my eyes are watering and I do not cry.
🙂
Sorry for your loss. You seem very strong. I think almost everyone tears up watching Angelina sing. Grandpa's photo is on the sofa beside her.
Thank you so much!
AJ and you, Valerie, make me cry tonight.
Thank you.
I never knew you hadn't done this one. It's heartbreaking. But as someone said, "Grief is praise." So sorry to hear about your husband. What a loss.
Thank you so much!
Valerie, I am so very sorry for your great loss. Thank you for sharing that as you beautifully reacted to this precious video of Angelina.
Thank you so much!
So sorry for your loss, Valerie. Thanks for your wise words. Having reached the age of almost 74, I'm experiencing the loss of my closest friends. Also, thanks for your push for subscribing to Angelina's sites.
Thank you. And I will always support Angelina!
Valerie, I am so sorry for the loss of your husband. I wish there was something I could say that would help, but I know that's a fools errand. I've cried 100 times listening to this, but this is the 1st time I've cried for you. Sending virtual hugs from NY & thank you for doing this. Your thoughts are very wise & I hope your healing process goes well.
Thank you so much!
I am truly sorry for your loss. Thank you for your reaction.
Thank you so much!
My take on crying is this; tears are washing you from the inside out. Let the tears flow. My husband transitioned four years ago and I'm still being washed from the inside out. ❤️
This is so beautiful. Thank you!
My tears are flowing for you.
Thank you!
Crying is cathartic. Everyone should cry occationally; it's good for the soul. Angelina's phrasing is approaching Willie Nelson territory.
Oh yes. Sometimes the tears just need to flow
Valerie I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. My heart goes out to you. Thank you for all your wonderful reactions to Angelina. I hope her voice soothes you as it does me. Take care of yourself and stay safe.
Thank you so much. The Angelina fans are so gracious. I really appreciate all of you!
Valerie, I will pray for you. Sorry for your loss.
Thank you so much!
Yes you are right, "Crying is healing" this is life as full of joys and pleasures is also full of sorrows and pains it's simply like a journey in a train and in every station someone will leave and once we'll also leave...
Today we cry for someone and tomorrow someone will cry for us but I'm sure we'll meet all those whom we love again and souls will never separate!
Thank you Valerie!!
Wise words. Thank you!
She cried for her grandpa

This one will have you crying like no other.
Seriously! True
So sorry for your recent huge loss! But how wonderful that you shared your tears and were able to stay connected with this very personal performance of Angelina! She is a comfort for many souls, but so were you! Thanks!!!
When loss happens, we need the support of a community. And that is exactly what Angelina is building.
Good job and sorry for your loss. Your top notch!
Thank you so much!
Thank you.
You are so welcome!
So sorry for your loss. Grieving is good it is a journey. Heart felt reaction. So hard to loose our love one.
Thank you so much!
Thanks so much Valerie. Take good care!
You're welcome.
I'm sad to hear about your lost. Take care.
Thank you so much!

You're doing great ❤
Thank you!
Trying not to cry…Yeah good luck with that!
I sobbed like a baby the first 100 times I watched this. I’m getting better!🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

This was recorded right after they got back from her grandfather's funeral.
So it was super fresh!
Angelina chose this song because her grandfather passed away and it is the first song she dedicated to him. Of course after that came the song Million Miles which she recorded in his honor. Among them you can also see a picture of him in the song "Happier" where she realizes that despite the great sorrow she has to continue a song also dedicated to Avichai with whom Angelina was in a musical relationship until the moment he decided to commit suicide. 😖 A.J is 🗣🎙👑
This song was for her paternal grandfather (Swedish) who died in 2018. Million Miles was dedicated to her maternal grandfather (Japanese) who died in 2020.

Even when Angelina is not singing for us at the moment, at any particular time we can feel her presence in our heart. Call it what you want. Love, proud, respect, happiness but, it you think about it, never sadness. Oh, she sings about sadness often but there is always hope in the same song.
I'll end my comments this way. I'm sure many people have experienced the following situation and may have addressed it the way I do and will do until everyone in the world knows who she is. I'll be telling someone about Angelina and the people who don't "get it" yet suggest to me I'm going overboard and dismiss my comments lightly. As if it was a phase I'm going through and will get over it. I explain to them, without arguing, I understand where they are coming from but I am not alone. Thousands upon thousands (perhaps millions) of people around the world feel as strongly as I do about her and perhaps they need to take another look at what's going on and give her another listen. If there is anyone in the world who can unlock the love sealed in someone's heart, it is her.
@Robert DeMartin Your last paragraph describes exactly what I experienced with my sister in law for the last year. But she's starting to get her after listening to her tiktoc "House of the rising sun". Her smile on her face finally validated my passion for this incredible voice and beautiful human being in every sense of the word.
Well said. We , Angelina followers feel exactly the way you do. She is a prodigy, very special, and most reactors feel the same. There is no female singer like her on the planet.THANKS
Robert! You summed it up so nicely, it's as heartwarming as AJ's songs! Thank you very much!
Thank you for your thoughtful comments. Angelina fans are so special.
Lovely reaction ⭐️
Thank you!
Wonderful reaction as always; Very sorry for your loss as well… All the best from Saskatoon
Thank you so much!
Angelina was so close to her grandpa I think she just regrets that she didn’t spend as much time with him as she feels she should but she definitely adored him so much Hope your ok Take Care sending lots of love from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴👼👸🏻👏👏👏👍💕🥰👋💞💞💞
Thank you so much!
It’s such a sad and wonderful performance. Great for relieving grief for those who lost loved ones. It is heart breaking to see her almost break down a few times through and cry at the end.
It is perfect for the grieving heart.
@@VocalSplendorStudios For Angelina is is clearly so! I had some losses the past months and music played a beautiful part in the services. Music is soul food :-)
I love your reactions Valerie. This was such a tough one to watch, as we all feel like Angelina is our daughter in a way. If I'm not mistaken, this was recorded right after the funeral, which is why they were both dressed in black. It's as if she needed a song performance to properly grieve, because music is so much a part of her life. God bless you and so sorry for your loss.
Thank you so much. I totally agree.
@@VocalSplendorStudios In addition to being so sweet and knowledgeable, what a class act you are to respond to a year old comment. Thank you. So looking forward to our Angelina journey.
I am sorry for your loss, Valerie. Thank you for sharing 💕 Yes grieving is a process and it’s different for all of us and it’s different depending on who you’ve lost. Crying is always good, in my opinion. Take care of yourself now.
Thank you so much! This video randomly showed for me and I realized I never went and thanked everyone for their support.
Loved your reaction to this❤️ She sings with so much depth and feelings. Yes, you are allowed to cry, we need to share our tears with each other, and thank you for sharing you feelings and tears with us❤️I have been thinking of you since you told us about your husband. I want to give you a big hug. Use the time you need to heal. I lost my mother in 2019, it was also sudden death, and at first it was such a big shock. The grief will get better over time, but the missing part will always be in our heart❤️
Love from Norway✨
Thank you so much. This video just showed for me and I realized I never came back to respond to comments. Interestingly enough, I had a dream that my husband was just sitting on the couch with me. I knew he was only visiting.

Angelina's grandfather passed away 6 days earlier. This recording was done right after they got back from the funeral.
This wasn't a music video as much as it was Angelina's last heartfelt words to her Grandpa. It was a raw spontaneous video with Ivan Mendez accompanying her softly on guitar. God bless you Angelina. 💝
Whenever I feel down, I listen to Angelina. She bring me to a place of peacefulness and serenity.
Such a jewel she is. Thank you.
Sorry fo your loss, Valerie.
Thank you.
Thanks Valerie for this wonderful reaction and for sharing your pain. For me this is probably one of the sweetest and most painful interpretations of Angelina, for the overflowing emotion she transmits in this slow version of the song and it is very sweet the moment in which she is overwhelmed by tears, but even in pain he still wants to finish the song. And Iván accompanied her on the guitar in an extremely respectful way. 💛 🧡 ❤️
I agree. It was quite cathartic for all of us.
Leaking eyes
Yup.
Lots of loving memories hit me every time I watch this performance. Million Miles and What is Life do the same. At 72 I've lost many family members and close friends. I still have conversations with several of them in dreams now and then or just seeing and hearing something brings back sweet memories. When we join them only memories of us will be left behind and I hope the good out weigh the bad.
Interestingly enough, this video popped up to me today and i realized I never went back to thank everyone for their support. An coincidentally, I had a dream about my husband last night. We were just talking on the couch. I knew he was passed away but it was good to see him happy.
:-)) Duende , new word we learned from Reactors :-))
Nice!
Love your honest reviews 👌. AJ is an angel 😇.
I agree!
look for Ivan how he obserwed AJ
I love them together.
lamento tu perdida ,me encantan tus reacciones de Angelina, ella es simplemente increíble, y con tus reacciones, son una convinacion maravillosa , un abrazo a la distancia, desde Argentina, ese lugarcito al final del mapa , mucha fuerza 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Gracias!
If only there weren't that musical interlude near the end, she might have made it through the whole thing. But you can see that she was getting increasingly emotinal as she waited to sing again, and you can immediately hear it in her voice when she resumes (as did Ivan - notice how he looks at her). This was posted to her CoverChannel within a week of her grandfather's death, which was (AFAIK) right around the time she and her family moved from Norway to the US. I'm still amazed that she posted this. If this had happened to me, I probably would have been like, "Oh, well, I tried. It just didn't work out." But she posted it for all the world to see (and not only to YT, but also to FB). I would ask, how can a 12-year-old be so mature? But I already know the answer.
She is brave and so kind. Definitely an old soul.
💖
take care Valerie, I will remember you in my prayers , love from The Netherlands
Thank you so much!
👍👍💙💙💙
Oh my god, I just cant imagine what you must be going through and I really wish there was something I could say to make a difference. Im just so very sorry.
Thank you so much!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
She recorded this with the passing of her Granddad.
That’s the way I’ve been home at 6:30 today Jonathan a song that’s my break your heart cosecant think the Santa Barbara gonna cry what’s are
Your jazz soul must, MUST listen to AJs newest (released in Instagram), "My Funny Valentine". It's just impossible to believe this is a 16 year old.
I'm uploading it now. It will go live this evening. I loved it! 💜
As it gets harder for her to stay focused, she gets more agitated and animated as she tries to hold it together.
She's such a dear.
Please react to A J’s two most recently released songs; My Funny Valentine and House of the Rising Sun! Many thanks!
YOU:: "holding it together.... I can do this..."
US ALL::: ... WE BET YOU CANNOT... NO YOU WILL NOT
Exactly!
Hii can you react to ROSÉ's songs : "On the ground" and "Gone"?
May I request your reaction to this amazing performance by Daneliya Tuleshova
"Not your war" by Okean Elzy th-cam.com/video/-YoDsibwzCI/w-d-xo.html
Is an Ukrainian song written after the 2014 war with Russia which lead to the annexation of Crimea to Russia.
Is now more actual than ever to spread this words of peace.
It's the final performance in the The Voice Kids Ukraine 4th season 2017.
She barely keeps tears at bay when she sings and is really shaken during the final comments as the spectators and the judges.
There are Russian subtitles (don't select the auto-generated one) and the auto translation to english works well.
This is the transcript:
Daneliya's words at the end of the song:
Well, maybe it is enough?
I have a dream to live in a country
Where we're united
Where every child and every family is happy
Where I can be a human
Where there's no war and hatred
Where we can courageously move forward
Where I see light and don't see weapons
Where I'm proud of you and myself...
Coach comment translation:
Monatik: It will be better to tell how it all began... When we were working on the final song I asked Danya (diminutive from Daneliya) what did she want to sing? She replied that she adores "Okean Elzy" group. And I asked her "What song do you want to sing?" She replied: "The War That's Not Yours". And I thought: "Such a little girl... Whether she can feel and understand such a complicated song? I asked her to sing and I was just flabbergasted. Daneliya, I just want to tell you, dear Daneliya Tuleshova, you have to understand that you are held responsible... As far as I understand you are now the Voice of all the children of our planet... You have a great mission here... I'm honestly sure about it... And soon you will understand how important this mission is. That is why I'm deeply honored to touch to your creativity, to work with you, it's an honor for me to be your coach in the project the Voice of Ukraine... And regardless of the outcome of this project, you can feel by every particle of your body of what is happening... On any language, you can convey what is deep down in your heart... And you are really incredible. Thank you for everything you do on this show... And God willing you will be the world's greatest star... And I'm glad that here, on the Voice of Ukraine, we have such a kid... Thank you very much!
Wait untell her grandmother dies.
