❤️❤️❤️❤️👣 She is 12 here. The reason the mic is backward is that she got it from her friends in the Norwegian Military Orchestra for her 12th birthday, and she had never used it before, so she didn't know it was backwards. She got the mic a few months after she turned 12 on January 10th of that year.😊
As Frank Sinatra stated to Greg Fields, his 9-time Grammy winning drummer; “I never let the music get in the way of my storytelling” Angelina Jordan's unique approach to singing is a testament to her artistic expression. Her intentional choice to not enunciate every word perfectly aligns with a long tradition in vocal jazz, where emotion and storytelling take precedence over precise diction. This style, often associated with legendary singers like Billie Holiday, whom Jordan has covered, emphasizes the feeling and narrative of the song. Jordan's performances, including her viral rendition of "Gloomy Sunday" on Norway's Got Talent and her powerful cover of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" on America's Got Talent, showcase her ability to convey deep emotions and connect with her audience on a profound level. Her distinctive vocal style serves not only as a signature element of her performances but also as a bridge between the music and the listeners, inviting them to experience the story she weaves through her interpretations.
When people discover Angelina for the first time, they open two big doors into a house of many rooms and many surprises. I’ve been in discovery mode for years now. Every week something timeless and great fills my home. This is beyond any artist before.
I am sitting in a smoky Jazz club, circa 1940, sipping a scotch and listening to one of the best Jazz singers of the time. Got a little lost in my homework assignment...back to reality...a 12 year old sitting on a couch, holding her new Mic backwards and just freaking killing this song....Etta is there somewhere I am sure. Thanks Toci...love the reaction.
You should listen to the original song and she sounds just like the original artist but I like her better,, she has a way of making it feel more personal with soul,, love it!!
Thanks for the beautiful reaction. A little girl of just 12 years old tries out her new microphone (used backwards) that she received as a gift for her birthday, sitting quietly on her sofa, with a recorded base, what will she ever achieve... and then she takes it out, without proof, this amazing version, which bites directly into your soul and leaves you there amazed and admired. This is Angelina, our wonderful musical kaleidoscope, she has musical knowledge and analytical ability that is beyond my understanding. Her phrasing, supported by her incredible employ of the breath, always fascinates me and gives me shivers every time, even though I have listened to her hundreds of times. ❤ 🧡 💛
When you ask an Angelina fan what they want to hear next, the answer is almost always EVERYTHING. There is no such thing as too much Angelina. I want to hear everything she has ever sung, age six through now, and then all over again, and even better if I get to watch her do it...she feeds my soul.
I've been eagerly awaiting a new Angelina reaction from you, Toci 🙂 And it was worth the "wait"🔥 I also have to thank Darlene for requesting this one. Darlene is a HUGE Angelina fan 🙂I'm looking forward to more reactions to her from you, my friend! Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
I hear "Tennessee Whisky" because they both have the same cords. Don't believe me then check out the YT channel (Kaleidoscope RMX). There you will find a virtual mash-up that they mixed by combining AJ & Stapleton's tracks. The video is titled, "Chris Stapleton ft. Angelina Jordan (13 y.o.) "Tennessee Whiskey"&"I'd rather go blind"-Mashup" it's 🔥 & 🤯👍
Thanks for your reaction to one of Angelina's thousand voices. I had read over my 4 years, that the video for this was recorded shortly after Angelina's 12th birthday when she got that microphone. I had also read the audio for this video was recorded when Angelina was 13 and the title of the video indicates she was 13. Can't wait for her mother's book to be published and hope she will provide information on this awesome performance.
Andy, I hadn't heard that she was writing a book, though always hoping she, and Mery, would. Is there an anticipated publishing date...and are those dates any better than these song or album dates?
@@boz352 Sara has told a few angels she had been working on a book but we have no idea of when it will be published. I totally agree with you that dates given by Angelina or her team, in the past, for future events, have often not been accurate. I guess it keeps all of us busy speculating.
Terrific reaction, Toci! I *never* get tired of seeing people really appreciate this crazy great performance by the then 12 year old Angelina. Loved it, thanks!

Hey Toci, can you check out Band Maid ‘Hate’ official mv please? Band Maid is an all female Japanese band that kicks serious butt! They are not only a great band but have a large YT community (over 40M views on reactions alone!) can I also get a shoutout for introducing them to you? I really think you’ll like this band! 🍺🥴🤘🏻
Thank you Toci. Ok fun fact. She got that microphone for her 12th bday. When she sang that song, the microphone was backwards. ❤❤
That’s so silly 😂❤️
😊😊😊
She wanted to spare that poor microphone from being fried.
@@9Ballr Yes there was a reason. She knows.

Yep just sitting on the couch and giving us SOUL.
A masterpiece by a 12 year old ❤
You have to hear the original by Etta James to fully appreciate what Angelina is doing here. She is channeling! But it is still Angelina.
Frybrato is AJ's signature vocal technique.
That’s a great name for it ! 😂❤️
@@TociReacts He is quite correct....what many Angels have named that technique....probably won't hear that to many other places.
When people discover Angelina for the first time, they open two big doors into a house of many rooms and many surprises. I’ve been in discovery mode for years now. Every week something timeless and great fills my home. This is beyond any artist before.
I hear a 40 year old professional black blues singer
Since she started singing at 1 1/2 yo, by the time she was 12, she had been practicing for over a decade!
