She wrote this about losing her beloved grandfather. At 78, I could have been her grandfather; I don't know his age when he passed. The song and her voice give me goosebumps during the song. I love this young woman's voice; I love it. She is a young lady with an old soul inside her. Mike
This song was written for her Grandfather who has just passed away. Brings me to tears everytime I listen to it. Angelina is out of this world amazing.

Rosalie, her maternal grandfather, was a Japanese Gentleman in the true sense of the meaning. He was known in Oslo, to help the homeless people with food and finding them jobs. He took Angelina with him, so the streets of Oslo knew her, and she learned to care for others. I know she has brought dinner at Christmas to home less people in LA. Stay safe, healthy and happy. Elmar from Germany.
I so appreciate what you wrote! I knew some of it, but not the depth of this aspect of Angelina and her grandfather. The whole family is so remarkable and loving. Listening to this recording, and the one Mery helped design the art for, of Million Miles always brings a stream of tears from the depth of I really don’t know where. It just touches my soul, every time, as if I am listening to it for the first time. What you said about her grandpa and her helping people in the Oslo streets when Angelina was young makes so much sense and reveals a part of the depth.
@@louisegogel7973 Dear, thank you for the kind words. I discovered Angelina on Christmas eve 2019, when I was still reeling from the death of my father.

This was dedicated to her paternal grandfather who had recently passed. Apparently he once told her that if she stayed true to herself, she'd never have to regret anything she did. Tears are a natural response to this song. 😎
@@stevek5332 That dedication of Always on my Mind is one of the most heartwrenching thing I've ever seen. There she was.. just in a hotel room..no mike.. only Ivan on the guitar.. and a picture of her grandfather on her phone. I think she was about 10(?). I tear up just remembering it
So far, my experiencing is that she can sing most, if not all songs available!!! And then she does it witb so much personal flair and interpretation!!!!
I'm impressed by your reaction to this song. To breakdown the lyrics is beatiful. This was her grandfather who passed. You are the 1st one to break down the lyrics thank you, bye
Awesome reaction to The Queen of Music! Check out her Etta James Cover, "I'd Rather Go Blind", she is 12, released at age 13. She is sitting on a couch leaning forward and delivers an Epic Performance, God Bless!
Great reaction, you know when someone is very, very special, Angelina Jordan. I have been a fan of the best the industry has to offer for 75 years, and AJ is the ultimate STORYTELLING vocalist of all time.
"So talented, So gorgeous, So beautiful....her voice is one of a kind. Only Angelina Jordan can give us such a marvelous rendition.There is no one better than her. Thanks, your comments were very accurate"

Hello, Rosalie. Yes, Angelina is 16 yo here in 2022. Well, this video is about age 14, right after signing with Republic Records, and it is one of her original songs. She wrote it after the passing of her maternal grandfather. It is a gorgeous song and the cry in it as well as the hope. Like you, my tears. Her grandfather is the "he." Yes, you've touched the truth of it. Thank you for this meeting, Rosalie. Here's a link for you: th-cam.com/video/vaElvR9s5Ao/w-d-xo.html Grandma Ellen out. 💜
Grandma Ellen with the awesome link. Love that one so much. Man does she go hard for him there. It's less perfect, but my favorite of her 5 versions of that song I've seen for whatever reason. Maybe because she's a bit starstruck and nervous and humble. Stumbling over thank you's at the end. And exhausted. Super cute. We don't get to see her push it a lot because she shouldn't do it often as a kid. But does this sitting down after likely a day in the studio.
Though her favorite genre is jazz, she has sung many styles. Her first studio recording was "I Who Have Nothing" when she was six, there's a video of it on TH-cam. But she has made covers of Whitney Houston, The Beatles, Queen, Michael Jackson, Adele and many more.
AJ’s Christmas Show that live-streamed on Dec 23 of 21 had some of the most important musicians of our time: Frank Sinatra's drummer for 6 years, and sun in-law of the late Henry Mancini, Greg Field has won 9 Grammys, and the bass player, Chuck Berghofer who also played for Sinatra for 6 years, and toured with Streisand, accompanied AJ on her Christmas Show, and they stated that she had the "storytelling ability of the greats, Streisand, Fitzgerald, Vaughan, including Sinatra, to name a few. The main pianist, a five-time nominated for Grammys, Shelly Berg, stated in all his years working with the greatest vocalist, he had never encountered a talent like AJ. Did I forget to mention Jimmy Z, the famous Sax Player who worked with Rod Steward, Etta James, the Eurythmics, and Doctor Dre, was part of the band for the show? Jimmy stated that AJ was the best he has ever played for. Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California played the guitar, and was the MC of the show. Rob has been working with AJ from the very 1st day Republic signed her at age 14. (I can't list the complete backgrounds on all the band members because it would take several pages to do them justice.) Angelina stated that she would rather perform than take a breath, and she has never been forced to perform, it has been her decision. Angelina Jordan is top priority for both Stargate Production Co. (Beyonce, Rihanna, Sam Smith), and the largest record company in the world, Republic. AJ's first album for Republic is supposed to drop sometime this year.
She lost her grandfather and very close to see you I see you in my tears you’re 1,000,000 miles away I know I can’t see it but I know you’re there I was we always have a spiritual connection to those we lost understand us very well I lost my mother my Father or grandmother and grandfather on both sides death is something we’re gonna have to see but face lots of love ones but we never lose connection with them to the spirit
The reference to walking the streets is about the fact that her grandfather took a very young Angelina with him when he helped the homeless people in Oslo with food and support. This had a big impact on her and shaped her view of the world. She has sung at a lot of charity events and later she was seen helping the homeless in LA but she doesn't make a big deal out of this. She is just a very humble and modest beautiful human.
Thank you for your warm and glowing reaction. How many ways can one explain PRODIGY? I think you just did a great job of that. Nice to see that your heart is still in the right place! Choose to make today a great day!!!!
My first time hearing this song along with you. I too agree that it is a beautiful soulful song. I think, when we lose someone close to us, there is always that component in our soul that we must carry on and be better for that one we lost. She captures that ideal wonderfully. Thank You as always for your candid reaction and commentary. Spot On as usual.
I love your take on my favorite female singer and her own composition. The writing in these lyrics gives an indication of the depth of this incredible artist. I for one can't wait to see what she writes in the future. Rosalie, another song that Angelina wrote, that I think gets overlooked by reactors, is her song Shield. She sang the song on a Norwegian interview show. Here is the interview in case you are interested: th-cam.com/video/3HUQZFSPBNQ/w-d-xo.html and here is a link to her performance th-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/w-d-xo.html
Angelina has that ability to transfer her emotions to you through her voice, just her voice. You listen to music from others, you feel and experience the music from Angelina.
Angelina Jordan won Norway’s Got Talent at the age of 8 in 2014, the prize for winning was eighty thousand dollars, this money was donated to children’s charities. At age 8 her first charity performance was in Germany to raise money for heart disease. Again, at age 8 she does a telethon for Plan International Children’s Charity. Still at age 8 she performs for Norwegian Sea Rescue Society Charity. On the 12th of Dec still at age 8, she performs at Save The Child Nobel Peace Prize, 4 days later, even though she has a very bad cold, she performs for the Swedish Heroes Foundation against her doctor's orders. At age 10 she performed for the Norwegian Refugee Council Charity. Also, age 10 she performed in Seoul in South Korea for Rotary International to raise money for children’s vaccinations. Angelina Jordan comes from a very wealthy family and does need the money, she, and her family want to share her wonderful talent with the world. This is what makes AJ and her family so very special. This information was on Alan's Pod Cast.
Every Time i hear this song i start crying - its not a bad sight - its a very good - it really touches me from the first time until now - also there are beautiful lyric video but i really love her other song '7th heaven' - has nothing to do with song - but also a very deep meaning
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Excellent review and reaction! Angelina can bring a tear to anyone that has a heart. Your attention to learning about her is exceptional and appreciated.
She wrote this song for her grandpa who passed away about three years ago or maybe four,. They were very close I hear. I believe he taught her how to speak in Japanese. Great reaction. 😎🇺🇲👍💯🌟
The original inspiration for this song she stated was the loss of her grandfather which she was close to . Voice has just continued to grow enjoyed your reaction, thanks
I think in the near future,when Angelina finishes highschool and Republic Records pushes her new upcoming album this will become a hit,along with 7th Heaven,and perhaps even Shield.Her entire family has been incredible in both protecting and nurturing this incredible Young artist.That was a beautiful,sensitive reaction,thank you.
Nice reaction! I am primarly a jazz lover, and to me Angelina is by heart a jazz singer. Maybe that is why I find her older stuff more interesting. She has matured vocaly of course, and is more technically refined, but the feeling and emotion has been there from the very start. It’s even more pronounced because most songs are very raw in production and often with only a piano or guitar accompagnig her. Or a simple sound track. But her live performances has always been stunning. Usually with a very competent band of jazz musicians. May I suggest that you listen to her two versions of « My funny valentine»? At 16 with a video from an antique store, and at 10, sitting at home with a soundtrack. One is very well prouced, the other very simply so.
Hi Rosalie this is a song about Her Grandad who died who was Japanese and She also did when she was 12 and broke down near the End and Also did a song for Avici when he Committed Suicide in 2018 If Interested there is a Video of her Singing in Japan in Japanese in front of her Grandad and Friends I think. Chris Tredwell Birmingham UK
Angelina is pure magic, from "i who have nothing" at just 6 years old to "feeling good" on channel 2 at 10 years old to "suspicious minds" at 16 she always surprises you. thank you both 🇦🇷.
Angelina’s voice and her total being is like an ocean wave or soft summer breeze that takes you in and rushes you to places you have rarely experienced. Your heart rate increases, you find it difficult to catch your breath, chills and shells engulf you. You are now addicted to Angelina Jordan the finest story telling vocalist I have ever experienced.
Love your reactions. She performed this piece at 14. Her first of three versions was a lyrics video, featuring the artwork of her grandmother, Mery Zamani. Mery was also a child prodigy from Iran, but in art and poetry. If your want a look at her this year, at 16, check out "Suspicious Minds", "My Funny Valentine", and "I Have Nothing" (studio and live performances).
Have heard this song many times and it still gets me. The anguish is her voice is deeply moving. Don't remember any other artist that emotionally moved me.
Angelina wrote a timeless song that has no limited shelf life. It will always remain relevant as long as humans suffer the pain of losing their loved ones.
Everyone has explained all that Angelina is. I think she is a gift to the world. There is no singer on the planet that do what she does every time she opens her mouth. There are many very talented vocalists but no one can match the emotion she brings to us. I had the good fortune of attending two of her Norway concerts back in June. I even got to spend time with Angelina and her mother after the concerts. Wonderful people
There are more versions of million miles worth checking out. The original release was a lyric video with art from Angelinas grandma telling the story. Great breakdown of the the lyrics, you completely, fabulously perfectly chosen words. Angel ina Jordan A star 🌟
She wrote this not long after her grandfather passed away and is singing to him. She was very close to him and had a painful period not having him around. The music video she created with the help of her grandmother, who is the one who influenced her direction in music by playing it all the time as she grew up. From a posting she put on Facebook dated March 4, 2018, " Our family lost a treasure today, my grandfather passed away. He was very close to me and have 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. (heart emoji)", with his photo.
Where me and my wife that is support Angelina Jordan her patron on page we support her for several years now she has a humanitarian wonderful person who’s Reza millions of dollars or Children’s charities
Love the reaction/and your review of the lyrics. In order to fully appreciate how. This song came to be you really should listen the her tribute to her grand father, shortly after he passed. It’s her special version of Elvis’ Always on My Mind.
At her concert in Kurbadhagen Norway this past July, she slowed Million Miles down and made it even better. She's playing with some of the same musicians of when she was living in Norway, like the double bass player is one of them. He looks at her like a proud father figure when she hits the extended high notes to emote crying at the end. th-cam.com/video/clH0PC4PEPQ/w-d-xo.html
Beautiful reaction to an amazing and emotional song ❤️ I love that song and when I think of my dad, this song is in my ears ❤️ She lost her grandpa and made this beautiful song dedicated to him ❤️ Her live version on her concerts this summer in Norway was even more emotional and made me cry when I was there listening ❤️ Have a great day 👍
Thanks a lot for an absolutely amazing reaction to Angelina again. In between your reactions I see none that are better. Incredibly well done🥰 Much love and respect from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥♥
Speaking of pictures and painting, check out her Million Miles (Official Lyric Video), which tells the story in an animated picture book based on her grandmother Mery Zamani's paintings
Grandfather passed away 2018 is very close when she said he walked street together he told her I’ll be on the moon when I die don’t worry about it. I’ll wait watching you. Don’t worry what you do everything will be OK. Those words are in the she tried to sing this song when she was 12 when he died, but she couldn’t get that she broke down quite like a baby this time. We Republic helped her through it and talking about her grandpa post was, he loves your grandfather. He just passed away 2018 now she’s able to sing about it but she still has pain but never ever get over the loss of my loved ones but she said Ron Knott pretty loss were connected spiritually
Our tiny little girl with the grownup voice was 17 on Jan. 10, 23 and is now 6'1" tall and could be a super model, but I hope the major portion of her career will be dedicated to her music and taking the world to a better place. I don't think she even realizes this power she holds over us and the need to hear that signature voice to fill that empty void within all of us. Angelina Jordan is in fact the "Benchmark" for all other vocalist to try as they might to achieve. I have a number of pictures of celebrities whose height is known, for example, Austin Butler, who played Elvis, is 6ft tall, and AJ published a picture of her standing next to him, she was at least 1 inch taller than him, and she had to look down at him.
Absolutely amazing performance from a musical genius, Not Angelina’s first original but her first original when Angelina signed with Republic Records aged 14 years old, Angelina wrote recorded and performed this song as a tribute to her grandfather who passed away and for anyone who has lost someone,this performance touches your heart and soul,great reaction thanks 🙏
Wow! Great reaction & appreciation for not only Angelina's masterful, heartfelt singing - but also for her beautiful songwriting lyrics. This was written as a tribute to her late grandfather. Having lost my wife a few years back, I listen to this song every day & every time it brings tears to my eyes, but also comfort. As good as this studio version is with Angelina at 14, IMHO her recent live concert performance at age 16: "Million Miles - Live at Kongsberg 2022" is even better! Whether or not you react to it, you should check it out. Btw - Angelina did another song in tribute to her grandfather - Always On My Mind (I believe this was shortly after the funeral). Very heartfelt - you'll probably need some tissues. Anyway - please keep reacting to Angelina - always look forward to your reactions. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
Gregory, I was going to recommend Rosalie watch her Million Miles Live at Kongsberg 2022, so I 2nd your suggestion. She slowed it down from this version & added so much power in her primal run at the end, that it was even more powerful than this studio version. th-cam.com/video/QSFzGBlhYx8/w-d-xo.html

Love to Listen to her, just didnt see, you did an recap to it, well thx for this Sunday Gift:) And i Concur, shes grown, love Her Tunes without this *little Girl* Vibe . Stay Healthy NWA Bavaria North
She has three versions of this song this is the studio version then she has my favorite the home movie version where her uncle (and manager) plays her grandpa and her little sister plays a younger version of Angelina and his shoes and sweater are used and the real pictures of both of her late grandpa's. She wrote this after the last onepassed, then the third version is being dubbed Angelina singing in cursive where her grandma paints the illustration and them they were animated and the lyrics were printed and the song goes. ALL ARE A MUST SEE!!
Her interpretation of this song was given the freedom of no constraints during her concerts in Norway this summer gone in 2022. The emotional impact of this song went exponential. We’ve seen nothing yet, this wonder girl continues to improve and touch us even more impactfully.
Great reaction Rosalie, even brought out some tears. This is an emotional song that does have to do with coping from the death of a loved one. She has a strong voice and it's being heard. Ty Rosalie
she wrote that for her grandfather who she was very dear to, and had passed away. The barefoot princess is absolutely one of the best singers I’ve ever heard in my life I’m 54 years old. She is absolutely an angel sent from heaven.
Thank you Rosalie for reacting to Angelina Jordan. This beautiful soul deserves to be watched world wide. from her beginning to now, she is music and there is nothing she can’t sing.. 😅 as you see yes I just love Her , she a gift to most of us who have been following her since was wee high. Please continue she needs our support ❤😊 . This song was written after the lose of her grandfather
She wrote this about losing her beloved grandfather. At 78, I could have been her grandfather; I don't know his age when he passed. The song and her voice give me goosebumps during the song. I love this young woman's voice; I love it. She is a young lady with an old soul inside her. Mike
Grandfather she is singing about
Not only is Angelina a very gifted vocalist but she is also a gifted writer/composer. This song is proof of that.
This song was written for her Grandfather who has just passed away. Brings me to tears everytime I listen to it. Angelina is out of this world amazing.
Very insightful reaction. Love your take on it. Angelina has no equal.
I am very impressed with this young lady. God has blessed her with an incredible gift.

so true..we can know the lyrics too
I am a grandfather and the song breaks me
My wife and I support Angelina Jordan on her Patreon page monthly
She sang it during Covid and gave hope to many people
Absolutely. It’s my belief that she released this song because so many of our grandparents died.
She’s ready millions of dollars for children’s charity
We all cry when we experience Angelina Jordan. The song was written for loss of her grandfather.
Angelina's voice cries out, begging you to understand how she feels and what she is going through. This girl sings to our soul !!
I have been listening to her since 2016 every night before I go to bed she is the g.o.a.t. wild bill
It was dedicated to her late grampa

Monte Lipman is known in the music industry as the STAR MAKER! During 2020, Republic Records Co-Founder and C.E.O. Monte Lipman was shown a video tape that Stargate brought to him of AJ performing, and he personally signed Angelina Jordan to the label without even meeting her in person, after she garnered the attention of millions of viewers while she appeared on America's Got Talent in Jan 6, 2020, at the age of 13, she turned 14 on Jan 10, 2020. Spotlighting her songwriting, she made her formal debut with “Million Miles”, this was a tribute to loss of her step grandfather, her paternal grandfather was Japanese, a remake of an original she had released prior, produced by GRAMMY Award-winning duo Stargate [Beyoncé, Sam Smith, Rihanna]. American Songwriter fittingly described it as “a momentous occasion” as it gathered over 5 million total streams in a few months’ time. In addition to garnering widespread acclaim from Time, Variety, CNN, BBC, and more, People has hailed her “powerful vocals.” To date, she has amassed north of 1.8 billion TH-cam views and over 4 billion Facebook views. However, she fully defines the scope of her artistry in 2021-23 with the release of new music via Republic Records. © Larry D. Pifer

Impossible not to tear up.

Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California played the guitar, and was the MC of the show. Rob has been working with AJ from the very 1st day Republic signed her at age 14. (I can't list the complete backgrounds on all the band members because it would take several pages to do them justice.) Angelina stated that she would rather perform than take a breath, and she has never been forced to perform, it has been her decision. Angelina Jordan is top priority for both Stargate Production Co. (Beyonce, Rihanna, Sam Smith), and the largest record company in the world, Republic. AJ's first album for Republic is supposed to drop sometime this year.
Sarah said in summer, next year. Just fyi.
Thank you for another beautiful reaction Rosalie, please react to more of her!
This is my favourite Angelina song, self penned and an absolute wonderful masterpiece.
She lost her grandfather and very close to see you I see you in my tears you’re 1,000,000 miles away I know I can’t see it but I know you’re there I was we always have a spiritual connection to those we lost understand us very well I lost my mother my Father or grandmother and grandfather on both sides death is something we’re gonna have to see but face lots of love ones but we never lose connection with them to the spirit
You'll like this one. She wrote it herself I believe.
Yes, the lyrics are from Angelina. This song is her debut with Republic Records, the Cie she signed with few months ago.
@@curieusechine What is the Cie?
@@louisegogel7973 The company name is Republic Records (Universal Music Group). Angelina signed with 2 years ago 😉
@@curieusechine I know about Republic Records, but didn’t understand what “the Cie” means.
@@louisegogel7973 a mistake : Cie means "compagnie" in french same as Co for company in english 😉 I'm french 🇲🇫 and my keyboard too
The reference to walking the streets is about the fact that her grandfather took a very young Angelina with him when he helped the homeless people in Oslo with food and support. This had a big impact on her and shaped her view of the world. She has sung at a lot of charity events and later she was seen helping the homeless in LA but she doesn't make a big deal out of this. She is just a very humble and modest beautiful human.
I am 69 y old and have never heard a singer like her in my whole life. She is on another level. Her voice touch my heart and clean my soul. ❤
I really liked your discussion of the lyrics, which is not seen in most reactions. Well done!
Thank you :)
Thank you for your warm and glowing reaction. How many ways can one explain PRODIGY? I think you just did a great job of that. Nice to see that your heart is still in the right place! Choose to make today a great day!!!!
My first time hearing this song along with you. I too agree that it is a beautiful soulful song. I think, when we lose someone close to us, there is always that component in our soul that we must carry on and be better for that one we lost. She captures that ideal wonderfully. Thank You as always for your candid reaction and commentary. Spot On as usual.
I love your take on my favorite female singer and her own composition. The writing in these lyrics gives an indication of the depth of this incredible artist. I for one can't wait to see what she writes in the future.
Rosalie, another song that Angelina wrote, that I think gets overlooked by reactors, is her song Shield. She sang the song on a Norwegian interview show. Here is the interview in case you are interested: th-cam.com/video/3HUQZFSPBNQ/w-d-xo.html and here is a link to her performance th-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/w-d-xo.html
I love this young talented artist and I love this song too. So I'll be there for your "premiere" for sure👍 Gilles from France 🇲🇫
Angelina has that ability to transfer her emotions to you through her voice, just her voice. You listen to music from others, you feel and experience the music from Angelina.
Angelina has raise millions of dollars for Children’s phones funds
this was the best most torrow reaction of Angelina million miles I ever saw, and I,v seen them all ,, kudos to you Rosalie 😍
Great reaction Rosalie. Appreciate your comments.
Angelina Jordan won Norway’s Got Talent at the age of 8 in 2014, the prize for winning was eighty thousand dollars, this money was donated to children’s charities. At age 8 her first charity performance was in Germany to raise money for heart disease. Again, at age 8 she does a telethon for Plan International Children’s Charity. Still at age 8 she performs for Norwegian Sea Rescue Society Charity. On the 12th of Dec still at age 8, she performs at Save The Child Nobel Peace Prize, 4 days later, even though she has a very bad cold, she performs for the Swedish Heroes Foundation against her doctor's orders. At age 10 she performed for the Norwegian Refugee Council Charity. Also, age 10 she performed in Seoul in South Korea for Rotary International to raise money for children’s vaccinations. Angelina Jordan comes from a very wealthy family and does need the money, she, and her family want to share her wonderful talent with the world. This is what makes AJ and her family so very special. This information was on Alan's Pod Cast.
Every Time i hear this song i start crying - its not a bad sight - its a very good - it really touches me from the first time until now - also there are beautiful lyric video
but i really love her other song '7th heaven' - has nothing to do with song - but also a very deep meaning
Angelina Jordan has a raise millions of dollars for children’s charities she’s just not a singer for the great humanitarian a gift from above
Angelina is such a beautiful soul. I have faith in the music of the next generation again 🙂
Awesome reaction, the official video really pulls at the heart strings visually. Its interesting to see this happen sonically with this version.
I believe Angelina said she was crying through the song… I certainly do every time I listen to it.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Excellent review and reaction! Angelina can bring a tear to anyone that has a heart. Your attention to learning about her is exceptional and appreciated.
She wrote this song for her grandpa who passed away about three years ago or maybe four,. They were very close I hear. I believe he taught her how to speak in Japanese. Great reaction. 😎🇺🇲👍💯🌟
This song still makes me cry almost two years later. I listen to it often. I love Angelina.
The original inspiration for this song she stated was the loss of her grandfather which she was close to . Voice has just continued to grow enjoyed your reaction, thanks
I think in the near future,when Angelina finishes highschool and Republic Records pushes her new upcoming album this will become a hit,along with 7th Heaven,and perhaps even Shield.Her entire family has been incredible in both protecting and nurturing this incredible Young artist.That was a beautiful,sensitive reaction,thank you.
Nice reaction! I am primarly a jazz lover, and to me Angelina is by heart a jazz singer. Maybe that is why I find her older stuff more interesting.
She has matured vocaly of course, and is more technically refined, but the feeling and emotion has been there from the very start. It’s even more pronounced because most songs are very raw in production and often with only a piano or guitar accompagnig her. Or a simple sound track. But her live performances has always been stunning. Usually with a very competent band of jazz musicians.
May I suggest that you listen to her two versions of « My funny valentine»? At 16 with a video from an antique store, and at 10, sitting at home with a soundtrack. One is very well prouced, the other very simply so.
The queen of emotional song singers and the tribute to her grandfather, another fantastic studio production from AJ.
Great reaction, I cried the first time I heard Angelina sing this song and I'm a 58 year old man, it's still chokes me up sometimes
Here her sing feeling good and summertime Angelina Jordan

Suicide in 2018 If Interested there is a Video of her Singing in Japan in Japanese in front of her

Angelina is pure magic, from "i who have nothing" at just 6 years old to "feeling good" on channel 2 at 10 years old to "suspicious minds" at 16 she always surprises you. thank you both 🇦🇷.
Angelina’s voice and her total being is like an ocean wave or soft summer breeze that takes you in and rushes you to places you have rarely experienced. Your heart rate increases, you find it difficult to catch your breath, chills and shells engulf you. You are now addicted to Angelina Jordan the finest story telling vocalist I have ever experienced.
I can't never have to much of Angelina.....love her!
Love your reactions. She performed this piece at 14. Her first of three versions was a lyrics video, featuring the artwork of her grandmother, Mery Zamani. Mery was also a child prodigy from Iran, but in art and poetry.
If your want a look at her this year, at 16, check out "Suspicious Minds", "My Funny Valentine", and "I Have Nothing" (studio and live performances).
Have heard this song many times and it still gets me. The anguish is her voice is deeply moving. Don't remember any other artist that emotionally moved me.
Her singing always gets me emotional too.
Angelina wrote a timeless song that has no limited shelf life. It will always remain relevant as long as humans suffer the pain of losing their loved ones.
In her official video her younger sister Juliette and her uncle portrayed her and her grandfather very touching video.
Everyone has explained all that Angelina is. I think she is a gift to the world. There is no singer on the planet that do what she does every time she opens her mouth. There are many very talented vocalists but no one can match the emotion she brings to us. I had the good fortune of attending two of her Norway concerts back in June. I even got to spend time with Angelina and her mother after the concerts. Wonderful people
There are more versions of million miles worth checking out. The original release was a lyric video with art from Angelinas grandma telling the story.
Great breakdown of the the lyrics, you completely, fabulously perfectly chosen words.
Angel ina Jordan A star 🌟
She wrote this not long after her grandfather passed away and is singing to him. She was very close to him and had a painful period not having him around. The music video she created with the help of her grandmother, who is the one who influenced her direction in music by playing it all the time as she grew up.
From a posting she put on Facebook dated March 4, 2018,
" Our family lost a treasure today, my grandfather passed away. He was very close to me and have 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. (heart emoji)", with his photo.
Thank you! ❤
Where me and my wife that is support Angelina Jordan her patron on page we support her for several years now she has a humanitarian wonderful person who’s Reza millions of dollars or Children’s charities
Firts Time...Namastê 🛸🌎🚴🏾♀️🙏🏽🌻🌼🌳🤗💜
Birth date Jan 10, 2006. She was 14 y.o. when she recorded this.
Your reactions are so soulful and and heartfelt. Exquisite indeed defines her performances
thank you very much.
A wonderful, meaningful breakdown of Angelina's ode to her grandfather who passed. Well done.
Love the reaction/and your review of the lyrics. In order to fully appreciate how. This song came to be you really should listen the her tribute to her grand father, shortly after he passed. It’s her special version of Elvis’ Always on My Mind.
At her concert in Kurbadhagen Norway this past July, she slowed Million Miles down and made it even better. She's playing with some of the same musicians of when she was living in Norway, like the double bass player is one of them. He looks at her like a proud father figure when she hits the extended high notes to emote crying at the end. th-cam.com/video/clH0PC4PEPQ/w-d-xo.html
I hope you react to her version she did in Norway in July. It is stunning. Thanks for the reaction !
Beautiful reaction to an amazing and emotional song ❤️ I love that song and when I think of my dad, this song is in my ears ❤️ She lost her grandpa and made this beautiful song dedicated to him ❤️ Her live version on her concerts this summer in Norway was even more emotional and made me cry when I was there listening ❤️ Have a great day 👍
♥️ ❤️🩹
I saw in your eyes that you got it.
💖💖💖💖
Thanks a lot for an absolutely amazing reaction to Angelina again. In between your reactions I see none that are better. Incredibly well done🥰
Much love and respect from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥♥
Speaking of pictures and painting, check out her Million Miles (Official Lyric Video), which tells the story in an animated picture book based on her grandmother Mery Zamani's paintings
The song is about the death of her grandfather. They were very close.
Grandfather passed away 2018 is very close when she said he walked street together he told her I’ll be on the moon when I die don’t worry about it. I’ll wait watching you. Don’t worry what you do everything will be OK. Those words are in the she tried to sing this song when she was 12 when he died, but she couldn’t get that she broke down quite like a baby this time. We Republic helped her through it and talking about her grandpa post was, he loves your grandfather. He just passed away 2018 now she’s able to sing about it but she still has pain but never ever get over the loss of my loved ones but she said Ron Knott pretty loss were connected spiritually
Our tiny little girl with the grownup voice was 17 on Jan. 10, 23 and is now 6'1" tall and could be a super model, but I hope the major portion of her career will be dedicated to her music and taking the world to a better place. I don't think she even realizes this power she holds over us and the need to hear that signature voice to fill that empty void within all of us. Angelina Jordan is in fact the "Benchmark" for all other vocalist to try as they might to achieve. I have a number of pictures of celebrities whose height is known, for example, Austin Butler, who played Elvis, is 6ft tall, and AJ published a picture of her standing next to him, she was at least 1 inch taller than him, and she had to look down at him.
Absolutely amazing performance from a musical genius, Not Angelina’s first original but her first original when Angelina signed with Republic Records aged 14 years old, Angelina wrote recorded and performed this song as a tribute to her grandfather who passed away and for anyone who has lost someone,this performance touches your heart and soul,great reaction thanks 🙏
Another song she has wrote at I believe age 12 is called shield another good one
Wow! Great reaction & appreciation for not only Angelina's masterful, heartfelt singing - but also for her beautiful songwriting lyrics. This was written as a tribute to her late grandfather. Having lost my wife a few years back, I listen to this song every day & every time it brings tears to my eyes, but also comfort. As good as this studio version is with Angelina at 14, IMHO her recent live concert performance at age 16: "Million Miles - Live at Kongsberg 2022" is even better! Whether or not you react to it, you should check it out. Btw - Angelina did another song in tribute to her grandfather - Always On My Mind (I believe this was shortly after the funeral). Very heartfelt - you'll probably need some tissues. Anyway - please keep reacting to Angelina - always look forward to your reactions. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
Gregory, I was going to recommend Rosalie watch her Million Miles Live at Kongsberg 2022, so I 2nd your suggestion. She slowed it down from this version & added so much power in her primal run at the end, that it was even more powerful than this studio version. th-cam.com/video/QSFzGBlhYx8/w-d-xo.html

Stay Healthy

She has three versions of this song this is the studio version then she has my favorite the home movie version where her uncle (and manager) plays her grandpa and her little sister plays a younger version of Angelina and his shoes and sweater are used and the real pictures of both of her late grandpa's. She wrote this after the last onepassed, then the third version is being dubbed Angelina singing in cursive where her grandma paints the illustration and them they were animated and the lyrics were printed and the song goes. ALL ARE A MUST SEE!!
Her interpretation of this song was given the freedom of no constraints during her concerts in Norway this summer gone in 2022. The emotional impact of this song went exponential. We’ve seen nothing yet, this wonder girl continues to improve and touch us even more impactfully.
Great reaction Rosalie, even brought out some tears. This is an emotional song that does have to do with coping from the death of a loved one. She has a strong voice and it's being heard. Ty Rosalie
That song is about when her Grandfather died.
she wrote that for her grandfather who she was very dear to, and had passed away. The barefoot princess is absolutely one of the best singers I’ve ever heard in my life I’m 54 years old. She is absolutely an angel sent from heaven.
Thank you Rosalie for reacting to Angelina Jordan. This beautiful soul deserves to be watched world wide. from her beginning to now, she is music and there is nothing she can’t sing.. 😅 as you see yes I just love
Her , she a gift to most of us who have been following her since was wee high. Please continue she needs our support ❤😊 . This song was written after the lose of her grandfather
Rosalie, it is obvious, you feel what AJ is conveying in this beautiful ballad, like billions of other that experience her total being.
