Angelina has such a unique and beautiful tone. You would know her voice anywhere. She is a world class singer and person who can envoke so many emotions through her beautiful voice! I've been listening to her everyday for the past 6 years and she never disappoints! BEAUTIFUL REACTIONS TO OUR BEAUTIFUL ANGELINA. Dounia, you never disappoint either with your insightful comments to our beautiful Angelina! ❤❤❤ THERE IS NO ONE LIKE HER!! BEAUTIFUL REACTION DOUNIA.❤❤ Just like Angelina never disappoints, you never disappoints with your reactions. ❤❤❤
The song „If I were a boy“ was written by BC Jean and Toby Gad and sung by BC Jean. Beyoncé later covered it and the song became world famous. Angelina Jordan now upgraded it. For me, she is "The Voice". (Based on the nickname given to Frank Sinatra at the time because of his distinctive voice.)
Although the video was filmed in the church, the recording was done in the studio with violin added. But while they were all set up to film this, they recorded a live version with her singing the first minute acapella using the natural reverb of the church. The the piano & cello come in for the last part. You will definitely find it interesting to spend 4 minutes on your own listening to it, especially how she used the church natural reverb. I like the live version even more than this studio recording. If you do listen to the live version, please leave a reply of what you thought about it. th-cam.com/video/2z6MNi2Vr7E/w-d-xo.html
Thee Ms. Angelina Jordan "World Class Jazz & Pop Vocalist + Songwriter". The Musical Girl Who Walked to Hollywood Barefoot... "Above OMG.!!!! - Yes.!!!" Heads Up - Ms. AJ is 19th Birthday is very soon from now - January 10th, 2025 - Let's all wish her a happy special day when it arrives.!!! Just Fantastic... Take Care / DD.
I agree that all Angelina need is her voice with little instrumentation. I think often other singers use big productions in order to distract from too much attention being paid to their voices.❤❤👣❤❤
Hello Dunia. Great to see you again and, as usual, I deeply appreciate your extremely insightful comments. Yes, we all know that she often emulated her great idols like Billie, Dinah, Ella, Frank etc., in her early years when she was learning her instrument (and who better to learn from??). Her genius is demonstrated in her ability to crystallize all of those influences into her own completely unique sound and style. And as you further alluded to in your analysis, she never has to rely on excessive embellishments, ornamentation or wild vocal theatrics, even when using all of her great array of tools like her perfection of pitch, expression, phrasing etc. (you know vastly more than I do about all of these things). Her amazing storytelling and emotive powers further enhance her unparalleled ability to make any song she touches completely Angelina. Thank you again for taking the time not only to react to Angelina but to educate us as well.
Toby added more strings than just the cello in post-prod, but didn't touch her voice. Here is a raw cut from AJ's channel. The first phrase is acapella. It's is almost certainly the first take, a one-take and no post-prod. th-cam.com/video/2z6MNi2Vr7E/w-d-xo.html
In this version Angelina sings the lyrics as if she were the persons best friend or their sister or mother.She is hurt that this person did this to her last ve one or two herself reflecting on the pain it caused her You always capture the meaning behind Angelinas notes and nuance to her expression of pain or anger or joy in her songs She is the ultimate storyteller and I believe the most expressive artist or right up there with the handful of storytellers that are in this generation Thank you for the love you show this young artist❤
❤❤🔥🔥😇👏👏! Like Angelina, you sometimes are a minimalist. You actually said very little, but you said what you needed to, and we believed you. Angelina's vocal prowess is certainly on display in this song with co-writer Toby Gad on piano. Angelina and Toby have another new release, " What a Wonderful World" lyric video. It will be especially poignant for you in your conflict- ridden reality. Very nice reaction! Happy New Year!
It was obvious by your expression that this touched you deeply. Angelina can tell a story and reach deep inside the listener better than anyone. Thanks for the reaction.
Hi Dounia, You are one of a few responders to music who I deeply appreciate because your comments are intelligent and impassioned. With Angelina, one not only carefully listens to the music but viscerally and emotionally feels it in a way, as you so well stated, that is intangible. This is what makes her a great artist as well as a great being because she embodies the intent of what she is singing and not just performing it. Peace to you.

Thank you. A beautiful and honest reaction. Actually, it wasn't a cover but a new interpretation. After all, the co-author of the composition was sitting at the piano. He wrote the song together with BC Jean, who was also the first to sing it. But Beyonce had more success with her cover.
Hello Happy Holidays. May Peace and love to you and your family 💕💕💕💕 Angelina she is music and fearless to take on any song to make it her way just my opinion 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Angelina Jordan is a phenomenon, a blessing to the world...gifted from God. Sophisticated, classy, elegant with a musical talent that is defined as beyond anything else out there.
Angelina Jordan is an unending gift that I unwrap every day to watch for a new surprise. Thank you for reacting to this awe-inspiring performance by the Barefoot Angel.
Dounia, Angelina has said she greatly enjoys reimagining the arrangements of the covers she chooses to sing. Most listeners will agree that they prefer her arrangements over the originals. It is unbelievable to me that she is not at the top of the charts by now. IMO, her talent is far superior to that of the most popular recording artists today. She is an international mega star that is not getting the recognition that she so rightly deserves.
I am forever in awe of the talents of this young lady. I wish a lot of things this time of year, but I especially wish for Angelina all the success in the world in reaching more people, spreading her love for all people, most especially, children. I think she is well on her way. Yeah, I thought this last year, but I'm no savant, just an adoring fan who wants the best for this wonderful young lady. Every milestone she reaches touches my heart in ways that can't be described. Thank you, Dounia, and thank you for staying alive through all that nastiness.
Thanks Dounia...one of the best reactions I have seen (100's of them) love your reactions and analysis always. Thank you for being you. ❤❤❤❤ We all know that Beyonce cannot even begin to create the vocals that Angelina does, Like Beyonce, but she is a "singer", Angelina is a master class vocalist....not many of these artists left.
❤️❤️❤️❤️👣 Toby Gad, who co-wrote the song with BC Jean, specifically asked Angelina to sing this song for his Piano Diaries project, where he reimagines his big hits from the past with "new voices". Beyonce also covered the song but did not take part in writing the song. I don't see a super thanks on my phone for this song. Perhaps next time? PS That's Toby on the piano. It's on Spotify, so you can listen any time you like.
This is what Angelina Jordan does each and every time she performs. You know from the very first note, she echoes that it's going to be an absolutely wonderful and exciting performance. Angelina always has been able to shock us since she was 6 years old to now at 18 and only getting better and better. Her unique, undertones and wonderful vocal transitions make her a force to be reckoned with for sure. Such an emotional singer and more importantly a really fabulous storyteller. This is Angelina's strength. She is able to tell a story through her own eyes and voice and make it really really impactful into your heart and soul. Thank you Dounia for your wonderful support of this great young artist. Keep posting my friend. You are appreciated by all the Angels all over the world. Much love and thanks from Canada 👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️
She makes all of us speechless. Great reaction. She is the Hope Diamond among so many zircons. Every cover she has done is better than the original. It is wonderful that you recognize her gift. Thanks.
Although this song was made famous by Beyonce, this song was neither written by nor for Beyonce, so not her cover. This was co-written by Toby Gad and BC Jean for BC Jean and co writer Toby Gad asked Angelina to re-invent the song for him. Tobias "Toby" Gad (born 28 March 1968) is a German music producer and songwriter based in Los Angeles. He is known for co-writing songs including John Legend's biggest hit, "All of Me", the fifth-highest certified single in RIAA history, and for co-writing and producing "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie and "If I Were a Boy" by Beyoncé. Other notable works include "Skyscraper" for Demi Lovato, "Who You Are" for Jessie J, "Untouched" for The Veronicas, "A Year Without Rain" for Selena Gomez & the Scene, "Don't Hold Your Breath" for Nicole Scherzinger, "Love You More" for JLS, and "I Do" for Colbie Caillat. In the third quarter of 2014, Gad was ranked the #3 songwriter in America by Billboard, behind Ryan Tedder and Pharrell Williams.
Love your takes on Angelina. And yes, I hear it over and over how she sucks you into a song as soon as she begins. There are so many to recommend but she has a recent cover of "What a Wonderful World" that showcases her breathiness and the softer side of her voice. She is also becoming better with her upper register and her range seems to be expanding. th-cam.com/video/E0YhXSW699M/w-d-xo.html Best wishes.
A cover only in the sense that what Beyoncé made was a cover of the song written by BC Jean and Toby Gad, originally performed by Jean in 2008. Beyoncé's cover was that same year. In this video the pianist is Toby Gad .. yes the same co-writer of the song .. the Piano Diaries are a celebration of his hit songs. He invited Angelina to England with him to perform .. this is the seventh version I have heard. I am not sure if it is really a cover when a singer is standing next to the composer as they jam to create a different version of the song. Wikipedia: Tobias "Toby" Gad (born 28 March 1968) is a German music producer and songwriter based in Los Angeles. He is known for co-writing songs including John Legend's biggest hit, "All of Me", the fifth-highest certified single in RIAA history, and for co-writing and producing "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie and "If I Were a Boy" by Beyoncé.

In the third quarter of 2014, Gad was ranked the #3 songwriter in America by Billboard, behind Ryan Tedder and Pharrell Williams.
I'm sooo pleased you gave your analysis of this song. I also prefer it to the original. Please listen to her latest cover of "What A Wonderful World" it's on Toby Gad's channel released a week ago. What a masterpiece, pity it's only 2mins.
This is a metaphor so please don’t take this in some crazy way. There are two Women in my “fandom” life. Caitlin Clark, and Angelina Jordan. They have this very much in common. Shock and Awe!!! Angelina epitomizes the maturity now, of her prodigious talent, and exudes being a stunning Woman, against the grain in this woke world. CC is a superstar who also paints wildly outside the lines, and exudes “Tom Boy” with passion, and grace, off of the basketball court, and with passion, and imperfection, lol on the court, but the fairness in this critique, is the equally, wildly imperfect referees who have too much impact in the game of basketball. This is about AJ though I get it so need to end with this. This is a stunning version of this song, so suited for Angelina, and one of my very favorite listens. I literally am completely unabashed in gushing over AJ. ☑️👌😎 JP

A one time successful pop song was upgraded with Angelina's version to an emotional masterpiece 👣💯AJ💯👣

Hello Dunia. Great to see you again and, as usual, I deeply appreciate your extremely insightful comments. Yes, we all know that she often emulated her great idols like Billie, Dinah, Ella, Frank etc., in her early years when she was learning her instrument (and who better to learn from??). Her genius is demonstrated in her ability to crystallize all of those influences into her own completely unique sound and style. And as you further alluded to in your analysis, she never has to rely on excessive embellishments, ornamentation or wild vocal theatrics, even when using all of her great array of tools like her perfection of pitch, expression, phrasing etc. (you know vastly more than I do about all of these things). Her amazing storytelling and emotive powers further enhance her unparalleled ability to make any song she touches completely Angelina.

Très content de t'entendre de nouveau.
Yes I'm one of them who are interested by Angelina Jordan Specifically and remember than you doing a great job.
Great reaction - hitting on both how she makes it her own, and the minimal instrumentation.
It was obvious by your expression that this touched you deeply. Angelina can tell a story and reach deep inside the listener better than anyone. Thanks for the reaction.
Hi Dounia,
You are one of a few responders to music who I deeply appreciate because your comments are intelligent and impassioned. With Angelina, one not only carefully listens to the music but viscerally and emotionally feels it in a way, as you so well stated, that is intangible. This is what makes her a great artist as well as a great being because she embodies the intent of what she is singing and not just performing it. Peace to you.

Angelina Jordan is an unending gift that I unwrap every day to watch
for a new surprise.
Thank you for reacting to this awe-inspiring performance by the Barefoot Angel.
Yes, Angelina sings like the song is her words pouring out her heart at that moment.
What a wonderful reaction/analysis Dounia! I LOVE it. 🎶💙👣

Angelina Jordan - The Barefoot Princess of Jazz. ❤👣
She stripped down her own written songs this year with Toby Gad to an emotional new version to let her more shine ❤ Love it
This is what Angelina Jordan does each and every time she performs. You know from the very first note, she echoes that it's going to be an absolutely wonderful and exciting performance. Angelina always has been able to shock us since she was 6 years old to now at 18 and only getting better and better.

In the third quarter of 2014, Gad was ranked the #3 songwriter in America by Billboard, behind Ryan Tedder and Pharrell Williams.
Love your takes on Angelina. And yes, I hear it over and over how she sucks you into a song as soon as she begins.
There are so many to recommend but she has a recent cover of "What a Wonderful World" that showcases her breathiness and the softer side of her voice. She is also becoming better with her upper register and her range seems to be expanding. th-cam.com/video/E0YhXSW699M/w-d-xo.html
Best wishes.
She's just best singer ever that nobody knows, That all on management..!! There terrible...!!!
The emotions in this performance are beyond earthly words! Loving your channel.

She just release...BAD VALENTINE....
Angelina and Toby are a perfect match.
Angelita doesn't duplicate and she does it replicate but she does ACCENTUATE !!!
Enthusiastic generous reaction. The AJ rabbit hole is deep and inescapable. Be aware.
A cover only in the sense that what Beyoncé made was a cover of the song written by BC Jean and Toby Gad, originally performed by Jean in 2008. Beyoncé's cover was that same year.
In this video the pianist is Toby Gad .. yes the same co-writer of the song .. the Piano Diaries are a celebration of his hit songs. He invited Angelina to England with him to perform .. this is the seventh version I have heard.
I am not sure if it is really a cover when a singer is standing next to the composer as they jam to create a different version of the song.

Angelina's 19th birthday will be January 10, 2025. She's growing up so fast!
It often happens to me that when I hear a cover of Angelina, I forget the original. It's like I'm being hypnotized. Did you hear the orchestra?
Angel.ina😇🙏❤️
Did Toby Gad (at the piano), wright this song for Bayonce?
I'm sooo pleased you gave your analysis of this song. I also prefer it to the original. Please listen to her latest cover of "What A Wonderful World" it's on Toby Gad's channel released a week ago. What a masterpiece, pity it's only 2mins.
This is a metaphor so please don’t take this in some crazy way. There are two Women in my “fandom” life. Caitlin Clark, and Angelina Jordan. They have this very much in common. Shock and Awe!!! Angelina epitomizes the maturity now, of her prodigious talent, and exudes being a stunning Woman, against the grain in this woke world. CC is a superstar who also paints wildly outside the lines, and exudes “Tom Boy” with passion, and grace, off of the basketball court, and with passion, and imperfection, lol on the court, but the fairness in this critique, is the equally, wildly imperfect referees who have too much impact in the game of basketball. This is about AJ though I get it so need to end with this. This is a stunning version of this song, so suited for Angelina, and one of my very favorite listens. I literally am completely unabashed in gushing over AJ. ☑️👌😎 JP
"It's a Wonderful World" Just Angelina singing and Toby at the piano: a new release.

Reba McEntire also recorded a great version of this.
Didnt Toby Gad, by the piano, wright this song? In that case it is his song.
Oh. If I had read the comments first. But I'm just a boy. Hope you and your family are doing well. Kjetil.
