Your absolute, unabashed glee over her singing had me smiling right along with you. I SOOO appreciate your alertness to those subtleties in her singing. She truly is a virtuoso.
The piano player is Rob Christie, Director of the Republic Records studio in LA which Angelina is signed with. Rob Christie is a grammy winner and has been working with Angelina since she signed with the label in 2020.
Rob should get a 'Shout Out" for being Angelina's mentor, and personal friend, while she is patiently waiting for the green light from either Mom Sara, or republic Records. Norway was a "test run", and she proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that she has the maturity, and passion, to forge ahead with her singing career.
I've been doing music 50 plus years, started off behind the Mic but spent most of my time as a mixing engineer . This girl is the voice I have been looking for for a very long time her timber is just so thick and gorgeous. Sorry I had to laugh at your eyes almost popped out of your head when you heard the first note come from her mouth, I can't remember where I read the story but when she was going to a prestigious music school in Norway they decided to leave her vocals alone and just work on her playing instruments. To me she is a vocal virtuoso, Perhaps a musical prodigy but most definitely a vocal virtuoso. Thank you for a great reaction,Check out some of the live shows that she did this summer in Norway, especially the song called Mount Everest.
👍👍 Mom has countless of times say in interviews and a couple of talkshows say that Angelina never had or will have a vocal coach cause they didn't want to take a chance on changing Angelina's "uniqueness" of her vocals,, but once or twice mom said she went to that music school for instrument's,, music History and a couple others courses but I don't remember which ones she said,, But she does have really good knowledge on the business side and the Studio control room from a really young age that you can see in some of her videos and she even had her own record label,, 👣
Angelina Jordan is an ORACLE Oracles have existed in human form in every culture around the world. Many are still noted in our time, such as the Oracles at Delphi in Greece, the Chief Oracle of Tibet, and the Oracles of ancient Egypt, but there are countless examples. They are the remnants in our minds of a time in which we all remembered. How else can we explain the hypnotic effect this creature has on all who dare experience her?
Listening to a professional tell us why we love Angelina’s voice, and describing all of the intricacies and nuances, certainly isn’t torturous Bethany. Thank you for a beautiful and very insightful reaction and analysis! ❤️👣
I always love hearing your analysis of Angelina! This is now the third time hearing Angelina. With each new thing you hear, her talent becomes even more apparent. Just when you think you understand how good she is, you hear something else and realize she is even better than you thought. It's not just a high talent, it is a wide talent. I'm not sure if that makes any sense, but what I mean is that she is not just a great vocalist, she is a great artist. She finds so many different ways to use her instrument to create so many unique interpretations... and somehow she always makes it seem so easy and natural. ...like it was just always meant to be that way.
Dimash is better, also if you actually pay attention to the video, she said she listened to Angelina twice, not thrice. One more thing, please work on your English.
@@wooshbait36 You always have such positive and constructive comments (/end sarcasm) How about I work on your English instead. I believe the proper grammar for your statement would be: Dimash is better. Also, if you actually pay attention... :p
Hi again Bethany. I mentioned to your reaction to Frank Sinatra a couple of hours ago how my 2 sisters loved Frank Sinatra. Since this was reacted a yr ago, don't know if you'll read this. In my comments there, I mentioned as a kid, my older sisters loved hearing Frank Sinatra. Moreso, though, will Elvis! They go all goofy listening to his songs and would go to see his movies, over and over again! So to say I'm familiar with this song is an understatement! Angelina floors me the second she starts to sing this song. I feel myself tearing up every time I listen to it! I love reactors expressions just like her performance to "I Put A Spell on You" How I wish my sisters were still alive to today to have listened to Angelina sing this song! My oldest sister passed away 2 years ago and the moment she passed, as I along with her son and daughter and grandkids around her, we played Amazing Grace sung by Elvis.
Angelina has become all the things we imagined when we first fell in love with her when she was 7. This is a fine example of how beautiful her full voice can be. 😎
Thank you for the wonderful reaction, pauses and repeats are just fine....loved it. The look on your face when Angelina started singing was priceless. Angelina is a Master of her craft, she is Rembrandt of vocal splendor...an artist with a pallet of colors creating a painting with her voice, mesmerizing. She did a wonderful tribute to Elvis, from the Pricilla hairdo, the leather Elvis outfit, the Red Elvis 68 comeback tour guitar, and Rob Christie, Director of Republic Records LA, and multi Grammy winning musician on piano dressed in the Red jumpsuit band members wore for the Elvis 68 Comeback tour. Everything about this screams Class and Eloquence from this 16 hear old. Cheers, stay well. You see that pop up at end, Angelina covering Whitney's "I Have Nothing", filmed in this same location, it is spectacular, just released couple weeks ago.
Having a perfect, beautiful singing voice is one of the most coveted qualities in the world. The ability of the voice is almost like a reflection of the soul. Her pure singing voice touches us and touches our hearts in a way that is unlike anything else. The ability to sing in the right tone and convey the feelings of the music. To push into the rhythm of the song and perform the joy of music to the audience. We can only imagine what level her music will hold in the future if she continues on the same path. She's music ... ❤
Just love the surprise on your face, it makes reaction videos so worthwhile and your explanations are amazing . . ( oh and by the way I think Angelina in this video is the best ever ....until her next one )
You’ve heard three songs from Angelina. All completely different genres, but each one signature Angelina-paying respect to the original, but 100% Angelina. It’s easy to see how beautifully her voice has continued to develop, but I want to put in a plug for younger Angelina. Don’t bypass her younger performances because she is so great today. She was the best child singer of all time, and she’s now the best singer I’ve ever heard, without any reservation or qualification. But her younger performances stand on their own, displaying the same musicality and originality. Angelina fans don’t have a favorite Angelina song because of what you saw today. You thought she was unbelievably good, but then you got blown away again with a completely different style. She’s been doing that for almost ten years. One song that shows you how extraordinary young Angelina was is her cover of Adele’s A Million Years Ago. And you’ll see another style for Angelina with this acoustic interpretation that will make you forget Adele’s beautiful original. She’s 12 for this one, with just her guitar accompanist and a mic. Absolutely stunning. th-cam.com/video/QHLtZQ3sIwE/w-d-xo.html
She is the best storyteller out there.. as stated allready by the judges at NGT when she was 7‐8yo, she has an unique ability. It has captured us ever since...🤗
She has been a awesome singer since she was six at least that’s when I started following her I think you should listen to her two original songs that she wrote herself the first one was called shield second song 5,000,000 miles which she wrote for the passing of her grandfather
I have to admit this is the first time I literally got chills from listening to and watching the 'reactor' to an Angelina video! Your enthusiasm including several jaw dropping moments and your constant pausing didn't bother me in the least! The three songs you have listened to from Angelina has given you a great idea of what has been going on, hasn't it? In a word she is spectacular! No one in the world (age is not a factor to consider) has a more beautiful voice with it's soulful tones and when you said, "She knows what she's doing", that's so true and we mere mortals love her very much but people in the industry, in any capacity, are in total awe of her because they understand what and how she's doing what she does and they are stunned, as you were! :) I'll close by saying I think you will like to hear more of her current work because of your dual capacity as a vocal teacher besides being a reactor. But, some of her work, particularly when she was 10 years old is so good it is off the charts. I wish you would give a listen to some of them. See ya and thanks, again, for a sensational reaction to our barefoot Princess!
Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song,& is why she can capture the true spirit of the original singer ❤💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤💙 Loved your reaction!!!
I may be hard pressed to find anything more enjoyable than listening to Angelina, but watching your infectious excitement for life and pure awe of Angelina's craft is way up there. I love your happiness and zeal for appreciating other's talent. So heartwarming. Pause and repeat to your heart's content girl. 🎶😍
Thanks for this wonderful and very careful reaction to the our fantastic barefoot princess, Bethany! Angelina has the ability to extrapolate with her musical sensibility the soul of a song and give it to us with the naturalness and simplicity that distinguish she, this fantastic girl breathes music and in every interpretation of her and takes us to another world. Please keep listening to her, it's a gift you give to us and to yourself, she is even always more unreal in her evolution. 💛🧡❤
So enjoyed your reaction. You might have thought you were ready for full-strength Angelina but you weren't! I suppose that being able to appreciate all the vocal nuances Angelina so intentionally interjects is rather like drinking from a firehose. It is almost as though she doesn't even let you breathe (and that's not counting the emotional impacts she unapologetically rains down on us). Thanks again. Great job! BTW, pause and repeat all you want!
I love watching you. You wouldn't have to say a word because your face says it all. From the smiles to the color changes in your cheeks. How beautiful. Thank you.
The song was written by Mark James. In the Wikipedia entry of the origins of the song, he is said to have remarked "That late one night, he was fooling around on his Fender guitar and using his Hammond organ pedals for a bass line and came up with what he thought was a catchy melody. At the time, he was married to his first wife but still had feelings for his childhood sweetheart, who was married back in Houston. James's wife had suspicions about his feelings. He felt it was a confusing time for him and that all three were "caught in this trap that they could not walk out of." Other singers covering this song invariably base their performance on that of Elvis, in that it is very "upbeat". Angelina took a very different path in that she read and understood the lyrics and what Mark James intended when writing them . To my mind, her rendition is much truer to the emotions of the song. The children appearing in the video were Angelina's cousins Aurora (first) and then Athena - daughters of her uncle Michael Astar, and then her sister Juliette. I would hazard a guess that they were included to emphasise that children are very important to Angelina and her family. Confession! I have never been a great fan of Elvis Presley, although I do like some of his earlier recordings, and I had never heard of the song "Suspicious minds" but knew that Angelina would completely take ownership of it, and she did. It was beautiful. After listening to it several times, I decided to download the lyrics to see whether she kept to the original structure. She didn't, and the song is all the better for it. For me, that she started with the Bridge of the song is very significant and, I feel, very indicative of Angelina's "up front" transparency. She was declaring that it was important that their love did not die, and then carries on to say why she feels as she does. Others first say how they feel and then, almost as an afterthought, assure their love they don't want it to end. For me, it is whether I feel the singer is genuine about the situation and wishes it could be resolved or whether the singer understands the situation but thinks the blame is on her/his partner but feels the need to assure them they don't want it to end (until somebody else comes along).
Great insightful analysis. Thanks. She is like seeing a diamond one facet at a time as the light shifts and the memory of the previous facet is so fresh and the next dazzles you at the same time. The more you dove into Angelina the more amazed you become
She has Priscilla's hair and Elvis's outfit and guitar. Grandma did a great job with this video. Dust in the beginning shows her dusting off old music and giving them new life. Her cousins and sister shows her journey thru music. Love this video
Bethany , every time I watch one of your videos I’m left with the feelings of love and happiness. It’s not from the singer or the music, it’s from you . The love and happiness you have for music shows in everything about you. Thank you Bethany the Vocalyst ❤
Glorious droopy sound! Don't ever worry about backing up to much, is all part of your reaction and if you want to listen to a part 10 or 20 times, that is fine, viewers can always skip forward.
Love your reaction! Don't worry about talking. That's what you do when you react. Her official version is on her page for those who want to watch uninterrupted. Angelina is a true gem! There are so many songs you can react to starting at age 6 with "I Who Have Nothing". Close to 200 videos and I love just about every one. I await more from you.
Love your detailed analysis with your enthusiasm 💖. There is so much to find out of this young Artist. Her life performances in Norway last month were out of this world 💕 you could find a lot of fanmade vids of that shows
Well; - I must admitt, I could be abel to take some more of this "torture" of yours 😁. This was simply great, and your reaction was quite understandable. I agree with you, this amazing cover by Angelina, and the video itself, would deserve about 10 million views by now. It might be possible Angelina herself made a little brake manouver for this video, as she started her little mini tour in norway just after the releas of this video. She came along and gave us the days of two suns. She did of course melt our hearts, as she gave us her wonderous vioce in about 20 songs (all uploaded to YT by now). Among these, also her live version of this marvelous Elvis cover, and her equally wonderful latest version of Whitney Houston`s "I Have Nothing". Her first appearance at the live stage in 3 years, came through at such a high level, we couldn`t even see it in our dreams. This 16 yo angel is cetainly doing her very very best to brighten up our days in this world.
Oh wow! Really really loved your reaction! I am subscribing in hopes you will be doing many more Angelina reactions. (please) There really are so many wonderful performances for you to see and hear. Looking forward to more!
❤ I love hearing your breakdown analysis as well as your full appreciation of Angelina’s artistry and mastery and soul level voice which evokes within us such deep stories of wonder.
I love your reactions. You really appreciate Angelina's talents. Stop, rewind and replay as many times as you want to. I'll be here watching. Love your reactions. I was at all 4 concerts / events in Norway this summer, she is better than we could ever imagine ♥
Barefoot Princess, queen of jazz, thousand voices singer, chameleon singer and now Easter eggs singer. I love this one too. God this girl is described in so many good ways 😇😇😇
Very good reaction people that understand music and can teach it are the best reactors it's just fun to watch their reaction to this Prodigy your analysis of Angelina is spot on.
what i love about this video as well as her incredible vocals is the fact that with the leather jump suit and the guitar she,s paying homage to the Elvis 68 comeback special plus a young Priscilla with the hairstyle
Awesome reaction and breakdown! She just released a new video of "I Have Nothing", recorded in the same Antique Shop. It's on her Official Channel, Love to see you react and analyze it. Then to go back to the beginning, NGT and watch her growth not only her singing, but also her mature as one of the most Loving, Compassionate and Humble Humans on The Planet. It will warm your heart and give you more Hope for our future, God Bless!!
I LOVED your reaction.... Spontaneous, joyful, A-M-A-Z-E-D, impressed, delightful, awestruck,... MOVED, and TOUCHED ... So much fun!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😉🎹🎤🎵🎶. Most of us have heard this MANY, MANY times, so no issues about pausing... One doesn't rush through a meal of Pheasant under Glass and Baked Alaska..... Right? You're both knowledgeable and down to earth... I feel like I watched you open a gift you didn't know you wanted but fell in love with😉. Pause away, we understand you can't go see the Mona Lisa painting, stand a minute or two and walk away ... Every color, shade, stroke requires engagement... There's only one of those, and there's ONLY ONE Angelina Jordan.... Come back soon with her latest .. a black/white Studio Version of "I Have Nothing" and feel free to take all the time you want to share your FEELINGS, because that's the BEST part of your reactions!!! PEACE!!! 🤗😁👍🏻
Arlene, a beautifully poetic comment emphasizing both the artistry of the Barefoot Princess and the fantastic reacting observations of this equally beautiful lady🌹 Cheers 🥂
Wow your very learned comments and excitements all throughout this Angelina Jordan's artistic performance is so infectious. Your comments at every turns and corners on this reaction got me excited too. Also very educational on a layman like me learning so much on the technical vocal aspects you brought up. Really enjoyed your reactions and hoping for more soon. Thank you.
It's so nice to see that even professionals are mesmerized by Angelina's voice and technique. I love the way she's taken this song about domestic mistrust and made it about the human experience. Loved your reaction and analysis, Bethany! Side note: I also got some static, but only from the Angelina clip playback. Hope this helps you figure out what's going on.
It is the same antique store in Hollywood that she used for My Funny Valentine AJ plays guitar, keyboard/piano, violin and flute. Don’t forget she writes music and was the youngest author in Norway to publish a book. No loud band, no light show, no dancers, just two instruments to accompany the MAGIC that Angelina Jordan brings like no one else can. At 7 she was killing us, at 16 she is taking us places we have never been. What a glorious production, praise to everyone involved, so perfect for Angelina Jordan she rules the universe with her talent. Again, the great talent of Rob Christie playing the piano. The Cinemaphotography, a total MASTERPIECE, Excellent ART Cole McCarthy! Great touch, the cousins and sister get a cameo. Mery, you should be so proud, AJ's grandma produced this. (This red guitar is identical to the one Elvis played in his 1968 concert on TV.) Oh, the tears, and loss of breath, she is like no other in the universe. Here is a classic example of what this ethereal talent, Angelina Jordan, can achieve she takes a mundane song and turns it in to phenomenal classic. Angelina at 16 is the MASTER of her universe, she is top priority for both Stargate, and AJ's voice has been unique since she was 7 years old and now at 16, she controls us as an audience, leaving us hang on every word and phrase. She has written a number of songs.
Yeah! She’s something special, isn’t she? Pure Velvet Perfection! This vocal arrangement was all Angelina, I have no doubt in collaboration with a stellar team including Rob Christie & Mery Zamani her Grandmother. She is a Master Storyteller. The video is shot in the same Antique Store that she did 'My Funny Valentine' on Valentine’s Day. I believe it is in LA near her home. I believe the girls in the video represent Angelina's Journey from infancy to present through the classics of music history. Thus the Antique store, She grew up studying and performing these classics. Did you notice that right foot raise it''s heal to cradle the guitar a couple of times in the performance. I was waiting for her to throw in a little shake to it in homage to the King. Could that have been intentional? That is Rob Christie on piano. Sister Juliette and a couple of Uncle Michael's Babies. I think that makes them cousins not nieces. Full Black Leather Bodysuit, the guitar from his concert in 68 and the hair a homage to Priscilla Presley. Yeah! She can bring tears to your eyes. Epic. Incredible. ♥👣👸🏻🎷
I was so glad you picked up on her artistic use of breathing. That is taken out in post production for most artists, but Angelina uses it to elicit emotion. I've read that she has in her contract with Republic Records that she won't allow the use of Autotune or other types of pitch control. I don't know whether it's true, but I sure hope it is. As far as I'm concerned the more "raw" her performances are, the better they are. Her "perfect imperfections" tells you that this is real singing, not computer wizardry. Love your enthusiasm & technical breakdown of my favorite artist of all time. Thank you!!!
In many ways this performance reminds me of "I Put A Spell On You". She is showing off the many ways she has to convey emotions with her voice but this time she is doing it in a more mature, professional way. Several times in this performance I get an Elvis growl/twang. Just enough to hint at him.
I really enjoyed your reaction and wonderful analysis. It's like watching the painter Bob Ross before he paints showing you all the colors on his palette that he will use. Even though it is so often the same paint colors, every painting is unique. That is Angelina's voice. The way she combines the colors in her voice, she is a master colorist.
Great, great reaction and new Sub. Thank you. Angelina is devoted to music and works very hard at being better,. She does so many little things so naturally that can't be learned,, that you have to believe she is a very old soul. She is just amazing and IMHO The Greatest of all Time.
Great reaction! Great video! Love your enthusiasm! That first note is a real mule kick and you responded as most of us did/do. I love your style. Go back as often as you like. Go note by note if you need to. Love it all! Certainly, "I Have Nothing" in studio or "Mount Everest" from her latest Norway concerts should interest, and entertain, you. But Angelina's earlier stuff is still amazing on her road to today. "Summertime" (NGT), Feeling Good at age 10 and many, many more would add to your understanding of this amazing talent. So looking forward to your next AJ reaction/analysis. Your smile is infectious.
You're reaction to Angelina is so good I'll bet When Angelina sees it she will want to watch it over and over again--what a great tribute to a great star performing a great song. thank you "Vocalyst" wish I knew your name
Definetly not torture watching you geek out over AJ's artistry Vocalyst! I love hearing your insights as it helps me enjoy her singing even more. I hope you'll continue your AJ journey :)
All the years of work and study have paid off for AJ in a big way. She packs so much into every bit of every word. She understands the message of the songs she sings and how to use sound to reach you on an emotional and primal level. She truley knows her craft and I feel she is THE best vocalist on any stage today. She can hop into any genere and just knock your socks off. Hers is not just a natural talent but a wonderful hybrid of talent and knowledge and use of different techniques. She is a master and she worked hard to learn the skills. She delivers flawlessly.
Wow. Now THAT was a candid reaction. I, for one, do not mind at all your rewinding and replaying the segments that delight you. It helps US appreciate Angelina's artistry in ways we are not trained to discern. So you go girl. Keep up the good work.
I have this reaction on my TH-cam downloads. I love everything about this. Your descriptions and explanations bring tears to my eyes because they explain in detail what I feel and hear. Thank you. ❤❤❤
I've been an Angel for over five years now. I have also been a subscriber since your first Angelina reaction. While I've enjoyed a number of your posts, it is always your reactions to Angelina that bring me back for more. And, for the record, I don't mind your pauses the least little bit. I have seen every Angelina video ever made. Many of them well over 100 times. I haven't begun to tire of Angelina and I never will. Thanks for coming back to her. You can never, ever go wrong with Angelina. I think her voice is the best and most emotionally affecting voice ever recorded.
Seldom in any life are we privileged to bask in utter magnificence. I appreciate the words you use to share Angelina with me. I'm 76 and feel honored to live long enough to experience her. You do a wonderful job presenting Angelina's art.
Yes She has "Come into her own" this year. Her take on "My Funny Valentine" back in February let anyone who was listening know that She had arrived on the Mt. Olympus of vocals. From now on I fully expect to be silenced in awe on first hearing any song she sings!
Thanks for your reactions to AJ, always fun and informative. Would you consider doing a reaction to 1 song but 2 versions? One is from AJ at 10yrs, then 16yrs, or you could do them individually. The song is 'My Funny Valentine'.
@@TheVocalyst Happy to support genuine reactors like yourself. Here are the links to the videos if you need them, AJ at 10yrs th-cam.com/video/sZ25H4a2gPI/w-d-xo.html, and AJ at 16yrs, th-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/w-d-xo.html. In the second video at 16yrs you won't see her sing as it's a selfie video of her in the same location where 'Suspicious Minds' and 'I Have Nothing' were filmed, but her vocals are stunning as usual.
We missed you, hope all has been well. I love your Angelina Reactions. I hope you do more, like her newest reaction of Whitney Houston’s song, “I Have Nothing”. It is perfection.
You never have to apologize, you are so great at what you do, so authentic. I appreciate singing and singers more because of you.
Angelina doesn't cover songs - she uncovers them, delivering their essence to heart. Wonderful!
She’s a great storyteller; draws you in, she has that talent of being able to elicit an emotional response from the listener
@@TheVocalyst how great would it be for her and Elvis' actual daughter Lisa Marie to sing a duet?
really enjoyed your reaction

Angelina Jordan is an ORACLE
Oracles have existed in human form in every culture around the world. Many are still noted in our time, such as the Oracles at Delphi in Greece, the Chief Oracle of Tibet, and the Oracles of ancient Egypt, but there are countless examples. They are the remnants in our minds of a time in which we all remembered. How else can we explain the hypnotic effect this creature has on all who dare experience her?
Yes, please check out Mt. Everest! It is my new favorite song. She in my opinion is the future of the music industry.
Our angel Angelina is simply the best..
Listening to a professional tell us why we love Angelina’s voice, and describing all of the intricacies and nuances, certainly isn’t torturous Bethany. Thank you for a beautiful and very insightful reaction and analysis! ❤️👣
i LOVE your genuine reaction. BRILLIANT!!
I couldn't agree more 🙂
I always love hearing your analysis of Angelina! This is now the third time hearing Angelina. With each new thing you hear, her talent becomes even more apparent. Just when you think you understand how good she is, you hear something else and realize she is even better than you thought. It's not just a high talent, it is a wide talent. I'm not sure if that makes any sense, but what I mean is that she is not just a great vocalist, she is a great artist.

Her pure singing voice touches us and touches our hearts in a way that is unlike anything else. The ability to sing in the right tone and convey the feelings of the music. To push into the rhythm of the song and perform the joy of music to the audience. We can only imagine what level her music will hold in the future if she continues on the same path. She's music ... ❤
Just love the surprise on your face, it makes reaction videos so worthwhile and your explanations are amazing . . ( oh and by the way I think Angelina in this video is the best ever ....until her next one )
You’ve heard three songs from Angelina. All completely different genres, but each one signature Angelina-paying respect to the original, but 100% Angelina. It’s easy to see how beautifully her voice has continued to develop, but I want to put in a plug for younger Angelina. Don’t bypass her younger performances because she is so great today. She was the best child singer of all time, and she’s now the best singer I’ve ever heard, without any reservation or qualification. But her younger performances stand on their own, displaying the same musicality and originality.
Angelina fans don’t have a favorite Angelina song because of what you saw today. You thought she was unbelievably good, but then you got blown away again with a completely different style. She’s been doing that for almost ten years. One song that shows you how extraordinary young Angelina was is her cover of Adele’s A Million Years Ago. And you’ll see another style for Angelina with this acoustic interpretation that will make you forget Adele’s beautiful original. She’s 12 for this one, with just her guitar accompanist and a mic. Absolutely stunning. th-cam.com/video/QHLtZQ3sIwE/w-d-xo.html
This is the Queen 👑singing the King👑 and I love them both❤
She is the best storyteller out there.. as stated allready by the judges at NGT when she was 7‐8yo, she has an unique ability. It has captured us ever since...🤗
She has been a awesome singer since she was six at least that’s when I started following her I think you should listen to her two original songs that she wrote herself the first one was called shield second song 5,000,000 miles which she wrote for the passing of her grandfather
I think you have the best analysis of Angelina Jordans covers, the reason why is because you teach us ,thank you for that😉
Her latest studio cover of "I Have Nothing " is beyond belief. It is your next must !
Well said Johnvasi. Angelina’s early oeuvre has been recorded for posterity and will stand the test of time. ❤️
I have to admit this is the first time I literally got chills from listening to and watching the 'reactor' to an Angelina video! Your enthusiasm including several jaw dropping moments and your constant pausing didn't bother me in the least!
The three songs you have listened to from Angelina has given you a great idea of what has been going on, hasn't it? In a word she is spectacular! No one in the world (age is not a factor to consider) has a more beautiful voice with it's soulful tones and when you said, "She knows what she's doing", that's so true and we mere mortals love her very much but people in the industry, in any capacity, are in total awe of her because they understand what and how she's doing what she does and they are stunned, as you were! :)
I'll close by saying I think you will like to hear more of her current work because of your dual capacity as a vocal teacher besides being a reactor. But, some of her work, particularly when she was 10 years old is so good it is off the charts. I wish you would give a listen to some of them.
See ya and thanks, again, for a sensational reaction to our barefoot Princess!
I love to see your enthusiasm on the first line of this song...the sound is so pure, it seizes us immediately.
Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song,& is why she can capture the true spirit of the original singer ❤💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤💙 Loved your reaction!!!
I may be hard pressed to find anything more enjoyable than listening to Angelina, but watching your infectious excitement for life and pure awe of Angelina's craft is way up there. I love your happiness and zeal for appreciating other's talent. So heartwarming. Pause and repeat to your heart's content girl. 🎶😍
Love your review
Thanks for this wonderful and very careful reaction to the our fantastic barefoot princess, Bethany! Angelina has the ability to extrapolate with her musical sensibility the soul of a song and give it to us with the naturalness and simplicity that distinguish she, this fantastic girl breathes music and in every interpretation of her and takes us to another world. Please keep listening to her, it's a gift you give to us and to yourself, she is even always more unreal in her evolution. 💛🧡❤
So very nice to see you visit Angelina again, Bethany! Thank you!
I loved the analysis!
This song get in your soul. Thank you Angelina for your arrangement. So beautiful. Love to hear you sing.
So enjoyed your reaction. You might have thought you were ready for full-strength Angelina but you weren't! I suppose that being able to appreciate all the vocal nuances Angelina so intentionally interjects is rather like drinking from a firehose. It is almost as though she doesn't even let you breathe (and that's not counting the emotional impacts she unapologetically rains down on us). Thanks again. Great job! BTW, pause and repeat all you want!
🙂👍
I love watching you. You wouldn't have to say a word because your face says it all. From the smiles to the color changes in your cheeks. How beautiful. Thank you.
The song was written by Mark James. In the Wikipedia entry of the origins of the song, he is said to have remarked "That late one night, he was fooling around on his Fender guitar and using his Hammond organ pedals for a bass line and came up with what he thought was a catchy melody. At the time, he was married to his first wife but still had feelings for his childhood sweetheart, who was married back in Houston. James's wife had suspicions about his feelings. He felt it was a confusing time for him and that all three were "caught in this trap that they could not walk out of."
Other singers covering this song invariably base their performance on that of Elvis, in that it is very "upbeat". Angelina took a very different path in that she read and understood the lyrics and what Mark James intended when writing them . To my mind, her rendition is much truer to the emotions of the song.
The children appearing in the video were Angelina's cousins Aurora (first) and then Athena - daughters of her uncle Michael Astar, and then her sister Juliette. I would hazard a guess that they were included to emphasise that children are very important to Angelina and her family.
Confession! I have never been a great fan of Elvis Presley, although I do like some of his earlier recordings, and I had never heard of the song "Suspicious minds" but knew that Angelina would completely take ownership of it, and she did. It was beautiful. After listening to it several times, I decided to download the lyrics to see whether she kept to the original structure. She didn't, and the song is all the better for it. For me, that she started with the Bridge of the song is very significant and, I feel, very indicative of Angelina's "up front" transparency. She was declaring that it was important that their love did not die, and then carries on to say why she feels as she does. Others first say how they feel and then, almost as an afterthought, assure their love they don't want it to end. For me, it is whether I feel the singer is genuine about the situation and wishes it could be resolved or whether the singer understands the situation but thinks the blame is on her/his partner but feels the need to assure them they don't want it to end (until somebody else comes along).
Great insightful analysis. Thanks. She is like seeing a diamond one facet at a time as the light shifts and the memory of the previous facet is so fresh and the next dazzles you at the same time. The more you dove into Angelina the more amazed you become
She has Priscilla's hair and Elvis's outfit and guitar. Grandma did a great job with this video. Dust in the beginning shows her dusting off old music and giving them new life. Her cousins and sister shows her journey thru music. Love this video
I'm laughing because your face hit literally every emotion in the first five seconds..❤
Bethany , every time I watch one of your videos I’m left with the feelings of love and happiness. It’s not from the singer or the music, it’s from you . The love and happiness you have for music shows in everything about you. Thank you Bethany the Vocalyst ❤
You make wonderful comments and you have a very beautiful and bright smile and about Angelina she has a bright future ♥️♥️♥️🌸🌺🌸🌺🌸🌺🌸🌺
Glorious droopy sound! Don't ever worry about backing up to much, is all part of your reaction and if you want to listen to a part 10 or 20 times, that is fine, viewers can always skip forward.
Loved your reactions,check offline n the love in
Norway you will LoveFrances fromScotlandxx
I second that !
Love your reaction! Don't worry about talking. That's what you do when you react. Her official version is on her page for those who want to watch uninterrupted. Angelina is a true gem! There are so many songs you can react to starting at age 6 with "I Who Have Nothing". Close to 200 videos and I love just about every one. I await more from you.
Love your detailed analysis with your enthusiasm 💖. There is so much to find out of this young Artist. Her life performances in Norway last month were out of this world 💕 you could find a lot of fanmade vids of that shows
Well; - I must admitt, I could be abel to take some more of this "torture" of yours 😁. This was simply great, and your reaction was quite understandable. I agree with you, this amazing cover by Angelina, and the video itself, would deserve about 10 million views by now. It might be possible Angelina herself made a little brake manouver for this video, as she started her little mini tour in norway just after the releas of this video. She came along and gave us the days of two suns. She did of course melt our hearts, as she gave us her wonderous vioce in about 20 songs (all uploaded to YT by now). Among these, also her live version of this marvelous Elvis cover, and her equally wonderful latest version of Whitney Houston`s "I Have Nothing". Her first appearance at the live stage in 3 years, came through at such a high level, we couldn`t even see it in our dreams. This 16 yo angel is cetainly doing her very very best to brighten up our days in this world.
Oh wow! Really really loved your reaction! I am subscribing in hopes you will be doing many more Angelina reactions. (please) There really are so many wonderful performances for you to see and hear. Looking forward to more!
Definitely!!! 🙂
You just have the most beautiful smile! I love it, and so i love your reactions! Keep doing what you're doing!
❤ I love hearing your breakdown analysis as well as your full appreciation of Angelina’s artistry and mastery and soul level voice which evokes within us such deep stories of wonder.
The best reaction ever to this masterful work of pristine art......
I love your reactions.
You really appreciate Angelina's talents.
Stop, rewind and replay as many times as you want to. I'll be here watching. Love your reactions.
I was at all 4 concerts / events in Norway this summer, she is better than we could ever imagine ♥
Barefoot Princess, queen of jazz, thousand voices singer, chameleon singer and now Easter eggs singer. I love this one too. God this girl is described in so many good ways 😇😇😇
At the end the piano was giving a little Love of my life vibe.
Very good reaction people that understand music and can teach it are the best reactors it's just fun to watch their reaction to this Prodigy your analysis of Angelina is spot on.
what i love about this video as well as her incredible vocals is the fact that with the leather jump suit and the guitar she,s paying homage to the Elvis 68 comeback special plus a young Priscilla with the hairstyle
I enjoy watching your pure joy in listening to her about as much as I enjoy listening to her!
Awesome reaction and breakdown! She just released a new video of "I Have Nothing", recorded in the same Antique Shop. It's on her Official Channel, Love to see you react and analyze it. Then to go back to the beginning, NGT and watch her growth not only her singing, but also her mature as one of the most Loving, Compassionate and Humble Humans on The Planet. It will warm your heart and give you more Hope for our future, God Bless!!
I LOVED your reaction.... Spontaneous, joyful, A-M-A-Z-E-D, impressed, delightful, awestruck,... MOVED, and TOUCHED ... So much fun!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😉🎹🎤🎵🎶. Most of us have heard this MANY, MANY times, so no issues about pausing... One doesn't rush through a meal of Pheasant under Glass and Baked Alaska..... Right? You're both knowledgeable and down to earth... I feel like I watched you open a gift you didn't know you wanted but fell in love with😉. Pause away, we understand you can't go see the Mona Lisa painting, stand a minute or two and walk away ... Every color, shade, stroke requires engagement... There's only one of those, and there's ONLY ONE Angelina Jordan.... Come back soon with her latest .. a black/white Studio Version of "I Have Nothing" and feel free to take all the time you want to share your FEELINGS, because that's the BEST part of your reactions!!! PEACE!!! 🤗😁👍🏻
Arlene, a beautifully poetic comment emphasizing both the artistry of the Barefoot Princess and the fantastic reacting observations of this equally beautiful lady🌹 Cheers 🥂
@@terryellsworth5848 Thank you for your eloquent compliment!!
Wow your very learned comments and excitements all throughout this Angelina Jordan's artistic performance is so infectious. Your comments at every turns and corners on this reaction got me excited too. Also very educational on a layman like me learning so much on the technical vocal aspects you brought up.
Really enjoyed your reactions and hoping for more soon. Thank you.
I love the way you enjoy it
I love your Angelina reactions! Thanks!
It's so nice to see that even professionals are mesmerized by Angelina's voice and technique. I love the way she's taken this song about domestic mistrust and made it about the human experience. Loved your reaction and analysis, Bethany! Side note: I also got some static, but only from the Angelina clip playback. Hope this helps you figure out what's going on.
It is the same antique store in Hollywood that she used for My Funny Valentine
AJ plays guitar, keyboard/piano, violin and flute. Don’t forget she writes music and was the youngest author in Norway to publish a book.
No loud band, no light show, no dancers, just two instruments to accompany the MAGIC that Angelina Jordan brings like no one else can.
At 7 she was killing us, at 16 she is taking us places we have never been.
What a glorious production, praise to everyone involved, so perfect for Angelina Jordan she rules the universe with her talent. Again, the great talent of Rob Christie playing the piano. The Cinemaphotography, a total MASTERPIECE, Excellent ART Cole McCarthy! Great touch, the cousins and sister get a cameo. Mery, you should be so proud, AJ's grandma produced this. (This red guitar is identical to the one Elvis played in his 1968 concert on TV.) Oh, the tears, and loss of breath, she is like no other in the universe. Here is a classic example of what this ethereal talent, Angelina Jordan, can achieve she takes a mundane song and turns it in to phenomenal classic. Angelina at 16 is the MASTER of her universe, she is top priority for both Stargate, and AJ's voice has been unique since she was 7 years old and now at 16, she controls us as an audience, leaving us hang on every word and phrase. She has written a number of songs.
love your reactions, very true and heartfelt, thank you
"The glory of her tone"
I like that. Everything about her is glorious.
I always love,your reactions. Thankyou,xx
love it!!!
Yeah! She’s something special, isn’t she? Pure Velvet Perfection! This vocal arrangement was all Angelina, I have no doubt in collaboration with a stellar team including Rob Christie & Mery Zamani her Grandmother. She is a Master Storyteller. The video is shot in the same Antique Store that she did 'My Funny Valentine' on Valentine’s Day. I believe it is in LA near her home. I believe the girls in the video represent Angelina's Journey from infancy to present through the classics of music history. Thus the Antique store, She grew up studying and performing these classics. Did you notice that right foot raise it''s heal to cradle the guitar a couple of times in the performance. I was waiting for her to throw in a little shake to it in homage to the King. Could that have been intentional? That is Rob Christie on piano. Sister Juliette and a couple of Uncle Michael's Babies. I think that makes them cousins not nieces. Full Black Leather Bodysuit, the guitar from his concert in 68 and the hair a homage to Priscilla Presley. Yeah! She can bring tears to your eyes. Epic. Incredible. ♥👣👸🏻🎷
You have drawn again spécial document number 17 😄
This is Melrose Gallery and it is in the Hollywood section of LA on Melrose Blvd.
When she sings the word "together" it's perfection. Exactly, her voice is so powerful. And she's only sixteen! I can't get over it. She's amazing.
I was so glad you picked up on her artistic use of breathing. That is taken out in post production for most artists, but Angelina uses it to elicit emotion. I've read that she has in her contract with Republic Records that she won't allow the use of Autotune or other types of pitch control. I don't know whether it's true, but I sure hope it is. As far as I'm concerned the more "raw" her performances are, the better they are. Her "perfect imperfections" tells you that this is real singing, not computer wizardry. Love your enthusiasm & technical breakdown of my favorite artist of all time. Thank you!!!
In many ways this performance reminds me of "I Put A Spell On You". She is showing off the many ways she has to convey emotions with her voice but this time she is doing it in a more mature, professional way.
Several times in this performance I get an Elvis growl/twang. Just enough to hint at him.
I really enjoyed your reaction and wonderful analysis. It's like watching the painter Bob Ross before he paints showing you all the colors on his palette that he will use. Even though it is so often the same paint colors, every painting is unique. That is Angelina's voice. The way she combines the colors in her voice, she is a master colorist.
Love your reaction! ANGELina is amazing ❤❤❤!!!
Great, great reaction and new Sub. Thank you.
Angelina is devoted to music and works very hard at being better,. She does so many little things so naturally that can't be learned,, that you have to believe she is a very old soul.
She is just amazing and IMHO The Greatest of all Time.
She gets it, period. And gives it back. strong, exclamation point!
Love your reaction :)
Angie is a musical prodigy a queen of jazz for me love your reaction thanks
I admit that I am fascinated by your reactions, it's great that someone can be so sensitive to sounds....
Great reaction! Great video! Love your enthusiasm! That first note is a real mule kick and you responded as most of us did/do. I love your style. Go back as often as you like. Go note by note if you need to. Love it all! Certainly, "I Have Nothing" in studio or "Mount Everest" from her latest Norway concerts should interest, and entertain, you. But Angelina's earlier stuff is still amazing on her road to today. "Summertime" (NGT), Feeling Good at age 10 and many, many more would add to your understanding of this amazing talent. So looking forward to your next AJ reaction/analysis. Your smile is infectious.
The power, the tone, the emotions, the control is amazing ❤️ Wow, what a star 👍❤️
You're reaction to Angelina is so good I'll bet When Angelina sees it she will want to watch it over and over again--what a great tribute to a great star performing a great song. thank you "Vocalyst" wish I knew your name
My takeaway is how pleased to see Angelina is obviously being handled with care. Very classy all the way around. Piano 👍
Definetly not torture watching you geek out over AJ's artistry Vocalyst! I love hearing your insights as it helps me enjoy her singing even more. I hope you'll continue your AJ journey :)
That was one glorious reaction video. Love it 🌹
All the years of work and study have paid off for AJ in a big way. She packs so much into every bit of every word.
She understands the message of the songs she sings and how to use sound to reach you on an emotional and primal level. She truley knows her craft and I feel she is THE best vocalist on any stage today. She can hop into any genere and just knock your socks off. Hers is not just a natural talent but a wonderful hybrid of talent and knowledge and use of different techniques. She is a master and she worked hard to learn the skills. She delivers flawlessly.
She has steadily matured in her singing! Such a unique,powerful and beautiful voice.
It realy doesn't matter to me, how often you stop and replay Angelina. I can listen to her infinite and on repeat🙂
Wow. Now THAT was a candid reaction. I, for one, do not mind at all your rewinding and replaying the segments that delight you. It helps US appreciate Angelina's artistry in ways we are not trained to discern. So you go girl. Keep up the good work.
I have this reaction on my TH-cam downloads. I love everything about this. Your descriptions and explanations bring tears to my eyes because they explain in detail what I feel and hear. Thank you. ❤❤❤
I love her reaction as well.
loved your analysis and reaction , pls continue more on Angelina . thanks.
I've been an Angel for over five years now. I have also been a subscriber since your first Angelina reaction. While I've enjoyed a number of your posts, it is always your reactions to Angelina that bring me back for more. And, for the record, I don't mind your pauses the least little bit. I have seen every Angelina video ever made. Many of them well over 100 times. I haven't begun to tire of Angelina and I never will. Thanks for coming back to her. You can never, ever go wrong with Angelina. I think her voice is the best and most emotionally affecting voice ever recorded.
Seldom in any life are we privileged to bask in utter magnificence. I appreciate the words you use to share Angelina with me. I'm 76 and feel honored to live long enough to experience her. You do a wonderful job presenting Angelina's art.
Love watching the excitement on your face and in your voice ,fun reaction
a million years ago by Angelina Jordan you will listening all night long. Greeeeeaaaaat
love your reactions! I hear the elvis flavoring too!
I swear she could sound exactly like Elvis if she chose to, but it would frighten us!
Yes She has "Come into her own" this year. Her take on "My Funny Valentine" back in February let anyone who was listening know that She had arrived on the Mt. Olympus of vocals. From now on I fully expect to be silenced in awe on first hearing any song she sings!
loved your reaction , your enthusiasm and knowledge are refreshing
Thanks for your reactions to AJ, always fun and informative. Would you consider doing a reaction to 1 song but 2 versions? One is from AJ at 10yrs, then 16yrs, or you could do them individually. The song is 'My Funny Valentine'.
Eddie, I love this idea!! Thank you so much for your support! 🥰
@@TheVocalyst Happy to support genuine reactors like yourself. Here are the links to the videos if you need them, AJ at 10yrs th-cam.com/video/sZ25H4a2gPI/w-d-xo.html, and AJ at 16yrs, th-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/w-d-xo.html. In the second video at 16yrs you won't see her sing as it's a selfie video of her in the same location where 'Suspicious Minds' and 'I Have Nothing' were filmed, but her vocals are stunning as usual.
@@TheVocalyst yes, please do more of AJ songs. Start with Stay.
We missed you, hope all has been well. I love your Angelina Reactions. I hope you do more, like her newest reaction of Whitney Houston’s song, “I Have Nothing”. It is perfection.
Your reactions are CLASSIC.
Great❤singer so good❤
Bravo !!!!!
