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. This coming from a guy that is 74 and has experienced the best vocalists in the world, but none have captured that soft spot like Angelina Jordan does each and every time.
It's like Botticelli's Venus descended and gifted us with her voice. AJ's performance here is absolutely stellar. She has to belt near the top of her range, and she handles the key change perfectly. Very little vocal strain or pressure. Her riffs during the coda are from another planet -- and the way she sustains fry and vibrato and breathiness throughout her runs is her signature: easily the best I've ever encountered.
Welcome back Liza!! Have missed your enthusiasm and emotional reactions to our Angelina. IMO, the difference between Angelina and others is that Angelina is an ARTIST, not just a singer. Her ability to employ EMOTION as her base, then applying all the beautiful ornaments. Weaving in the soft nuances, colors both bright & warm dark ones. Using her breath to softly underscore a plea/need, strongly underscore the lyrics with commanding tones. Her voice is an emotional release for so many of us.. lifting us to a joyful celebration of it, and ever so easily squeezes our heart to the point of tears... This is what TALENT and GENIUS sounds like... And what a captivating, breathtaking voyage it is.. Angelina is at the helm, in charge of every detail; in all of her renditions, she understands that excellence is in the details.. and she gives each one her full attention.. What a beautifully crafted performance, full of EMOTION... and she strings a ribbon of lights around our heart.. Liza, I enjoy your honesty, and that you dive right into her performance, and always let your emotions splash over and out of you!! Don't be a stranger! PEACE!!
At her last concert on July 10th 2022 in Norway, when Angelina told why she sings this song and dedicated it to her grandmother Mery Zamani (her grandma was sick and couldn't accompany Angelina on the trip to Norway and both were very sad), I understand this song completely differently whenever I hear the line "Don't you dare walk away from me". 👣💯 *AJ* 💯 👣
Nicely said Albert. I too now hear that song from a totally different way.I love this song and I was so excited when she first introduced it then when she dedicated it to her Grandma I was surprised because I had not thought of it in terms of her relationship with her grandmother. However in true Angelina style she gave new meaning to the words and crushed my heart so I could hardly breathe.
Albert the consert in kongsberg jazz was the Best ever. I happy to live in norway and have see her in every events. She has me totaly and am 65 years old. She got me totaly. Ps i have see lots of big stars om stage World wild.
@@EarnestMasumoto I don't understand the question correctly. At this point, Mery Zamani was already on the mend and her health was much better, but Mrs Zamani was not yet able to travel and accompany Angelina on her trip. I assume this song is also a favorite of Mrs Zamani. 🤗🤗
She changed the key to this song, but does it really matter as long as she has the ability to give each word, or phrase, meaning like no one else in this universe can. How can she evoke such emotion in each and every performance? Why do I get chills, or cry tears, or lose my breath when Angelina sing a song that I have experienced many times in the past without this happening? If this feeling only happened to me that would be ok, but it happens to billions of people. We play these videos of AJ over, and over again to get our high. I was a Whitney fan from the beginning of her career to her tragic end. Whitney was great, but Angelina at 16 is far better than Whitney ever was at making you feel each word, and phrase. AJ changes every cover to make it hers and far, far better than the original. AJ is the greatest STORYTELLING ARTEST I have ever experienced in my 75 years.
Well said Larry. I love it when I play AJ's version to friends without them seeing the video and they say, Well she ain't Whitney. No...she's Angelina. Here take a look. Appreciation set in after I tell them she was 16 at the time and remind them of Whitney's age when she recorded this massive hit.
… you’re not alone G… I’m only a couple years younger than you. I’ve listened to all the famous singers growing up…all of them great in their various genres… but AJ is magical how her voice lures you. Lorelei in the flesh.
As another old codger who has been collecting music for 50 years and going concerts. I can't remember the last time I got really excited for an album like I am for hers, which is reportedly coming in the summer. I have her first one she did, called It's Magic, and it's an often play.
Liza, "Suspicious Minds" would indeed be your best choice for next reaction. Angelina here gives a completely different delivery than 'I Have Nothing' -- her subtleties are heart-wrenching. Surprise! Asking Angels to name their ONE favorite Angelina song is an exercise in futility/indecision/"air quoting"/silence. 😅 But my "favorite" is uhm, er, kinda, maybe, you're killing me here, definitely, Suspicious Minds. Phew!
I agree that we can recognize Angelina immediately. I think that I can just recognize her voice now, but after a few phrases we also recognize the signature dynamics of her style because they really are unique. The small runs at the end of notes, the richness and power she gets in her lower register, and her ability to so easily begin with a vocal fry that morphs seamlessly into her full voice-all Angelina. And, as always, there’s such ease in delivering this huge song. I am no longer surprised by her choice of songs. The surprise would be if she gave us what we expected. Once again, I was always impressed by Whitney’s incredible vocal ability, but I feel the weight of the lyrics with Angelina.
Hi I am Alex from Rio . May I suggest you react a fantastic duet from two brazilian singers " Anna Carolina and Seu Jorge" .....Eu não sei para de te olhar( blowers daughter). Try the live acoustic version. Another two brazilian musicians.
Whitney Houston's music will live on forever but I have no doubt she is smiling in heaven at this version. Angelina at her final concert in Norway last July, dedicated this song to her grandmother Mery Zamani, who was a prodigy for poetry and art while growing up in Iran. Mery is everything to Angelina, which makes this song, sung by Angelina, very emotional.
At Angelina's final concert last summer in Norway, she sang this as the third encore number after a 15-song set. Who sings this Whitney powerhouse as the 18th song of a concert, what 16yo, what any-yo? One's favorite Angelina song other than the last one heard is a hard question! Maybe her studio take on Adele's "All I Ask". But it is hard to find anything of hers (whether in a concert, a studio, or a parking garage) that is not a home-run!
The girl of many vocals, no wait, the girl that makes us cry, or the Queen of Jazz. She is known for many titles and yet she has just started, because everything we have seen so far is practice! This is the beginning of something more like "World changing" she can touch the heart. No one is like her.
Every time I listen to her singing this song I cry. It isn't the only one to do it either. I'm not sure why or how she can do it to so many. If you want a real treat take a look at her singing this song at 13 in her home studio. I don't know which one is performed better. I do know they are both master class performances. It is so difficult to try and pick a favorite song by Angelina. It's like I've read in different comment sections "my favorite Angelina song is the last one I listened to". Such a true statement.
Very beautiful reaction, thanks Liza. From the very first words, the warmth, tone, passion and sweetness that Angelina manages to instill in this mythical song are truly incredible, even more for a 16 year old girl. Her phrasing, backed by her wonderful use of breath and her peculiar jazz tone, always fascinates me and gives me chills every time, despite the fact that I has listened to her hundreds of times. Please see his version of Elvis' "Suspicious Minds," which he sang around the same time, which is a wonderful re-reading of the song, on a completely different slant than this one, but just as incredible.💛🧡❤
Love your reaction Liza. You truly get this beautiful young lady. She had me at the very start with her sweet melody and how she delicately handled it. Love to see you react to "Suspicious Minds", she took that song and completely made it hers. Thank you so much for this reaction of Angelina. She deserves the exposure and recognition of what a true artist sounds like.
Hello, LIza. Angelina takes us through the richly embroidered tapestry of "doors," and masterfully ushers us through each one. The silk ribbons, the Czech glass beads, the threads of gold, the nuanced shades of silk thread, each door with its feast for our ears, and then she sends us home with the long, long velvet ribbon of that last note. I am not a fan of this song, though I recognize its difficulty. But Angelina singing it is a feast for the ears, because of all the little details you point out. Because I know she's singing it to a meaning much wider l than original intent. When she sings that last "you," that velvet ribbon of a note, it is her Grandma Mery, it is each member of her family, it is each member of the music world that has, is, and will help her, it is each fan, a personal velvet "you" to each one and all who come. Thank you for your musically informed reaction, it was quite enjoyable. Grandma Ellen, out.
Thank you for coming back to Angelina Jordan! besides her cover of "Suspicious Minds" by Elvis there is still so so many other gems for you to discover!
Thx Liza for your thoughtful reaction. Your commenting about all the little nuances that Angelina adds to this rendition of I Have Nothing are very insightful as A.J. has stated before that she thinks performing covers is more difficult than doing an original song because people will always compare it to the original. Angelina has said that it is important to put worth into every cover that she does to honour the original artist, not to just go thru the motions when performing a cover. thx again and hope it is not long before you come back to A.J.
So good to see you back with more Anglina! 💖 My favorite verion of this song is probably Angelina's, just because she sings it in a lower key. But it is far from my favorite from Angelina, im not even sure its in my top 50. My top 5 Angelina covers contains atleast 30 songs. But if I had to pick 1, I think I would pick 'Stay', 'All I Ask' and 'Billie Jean'. Thanks so much for this, see you in the next one, hopefully soon! 🌹
I believe that her cover of "I put a spell on you" at age 9 is probably the best I have ever heard , I heard a very large assortment of pros. Sing this song , but I find her arrangement of the song to be what the song really calls for
I agree with you. Just think, a child of nine is the only singer of this classic song who, instead of copying others, took the original as the base for her arrangement, and by so doing performed what to me is now the definitive version of the song. I doubt it will ever be bettered, whatever the age of the singer.
This beautiful young lady has an amazing talent and I pray that in 80 years she's the maven of musicality at almost 100 years old that she is now. I hope she has a long, beautiful, and amazing career in music and that it only changes her for the better.
Angelina is impossible to describe how amazing she is. My mom was a famous singer in the Big Band era, singing with Glen Miller, Tommy Dorsey, etc… in the days of soulful singers, and had a great career. If she was still alive, she would cry watching her, as Angelina is a throwback to my mom’s era. God Bless Angelina, and if you have kids or grandkids, show her videos to let them see what real talent is, and her humble way in her life is how we should all be. Take care, and Suspicious Minds is awesome.
Even though she kept close to the original, Angelina still made it her own with all the little nuances you mentioned. Her timbre is very different from Whitney. Whitney has a very clean powerful voice. Angelina is very powerful as well but has more texture and warmth to it. Both beautiful :-) During the live concerts this summer she dedicated the song to her absent and recovering grandmother who has been a huge influence on her. This gives the song a very personal and emotional context.
Indeed an incredible performance. The only improvement that could have been made is to have had a personalised backing track. This one was an off the shelf version with just the pitch changed.
This is beautiful, it's sang in Angelina's rich voice that speaks more to your heart an soul. Rather then just your ears , I really enjoyed your reaction and try to never miss one ,thanks
Great reaction as always. One of my personal favourites. Recently Toby Gad (well-respected song writer & producer) is quoted saying, “Working with Angelina has been nothing short of inspiring. Her ability to channel profound emotion through her voice adds a whole new depth to the song.” They are currently working on other songs for AJ. This will be huge for her.
I really enjoy your reactions/analyses of Angelina's performances. You've already reacted to my all-time favorite song by her (My Funny Valentine) & this version of I Have Nothing is my next favorite, so the next favorite is her total re-interpretation of Elvis' last #1 hit song, Suspicious Minds, all filmed in the same Antique Store. It's not only one of her most beautiful performances, it's nothing like Elvis' cover & it's filled with symbolism/homage to the "King of Rock & Roll."
Hi my friend fantastic reaction Angelina is absolutely amazing and can sing any song a young gentleman taking TH-cam by storm is ren -hi ren this video has had 3 million views in 2 weeks and it is pure genius worth a look and at the end it has a great message many thanks love and respect from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍
Angelina is the goddess of voice and music, better isnt possible, so humble, so much love and soul, storytelling, emotiones, poetry on the highest level 👑♥️🌹💫 she is definitly the best teargas, i like your reaction 😊
After listening to 150 or so of Angelina's videos most of them multiple times. I think I can sum this up in one sentence. "THE GIRL KNOWS HOW TO SING".....
Loved your reaction. And no shame, this 77 yr old cries all the time listening to my sweet Angel. God put her on earth to remind us we all have a soul and she reaches into mine all the time.
I love your enthusiasm for the greatest singer on the planet. I was one of the fortunate individuals to attend two of her concerts in Norway. She makes me cry. I even got to spend time with Angelina and her mother (Sara) after both concerts. It was magical.
Awesome reaction and I have at least 20 # 1 songs of her, can't single 1 out! You will find that is what most people say, this is my new favorite every time she releases a new video. She is the Master and "Suspicious Minds", is another Master Piece, they just keep coming, God Bless!
What makes her stand above the rest is the fact that she makes you feel the emotions of the song. It is one thing to hear a great voice, but it is another to reach into you and make you feel the emotions from deep inside yourself.
As someone who’s listened and loved all of the tones and nuances of Angelina’s soul- touching interpretations of songs, it’s so satisfying to share listening to them with someone who appreciates them on the same, or even deeper, level- especially if it’s their first discoveries of her!! Your reactions- analytical and emotional- are so wonderful and satisfying to hear and see! This was from months ago, so I don’t know how much you’ve heard now, but I’d say, don’t miss these covers!! : “ A Million Years Ago” (Adele) and “ Stay” ( Rihanna) - both amazingly at about age 12. My favorites from her youth were “ What a Difference a Day Makes” and “ Summertime”- both at 7 or 8 ( Those 2 were from her winning run on Norway’s Got Talent. ) You can’t go wrong with any of her music, but don’t miss these!!
It’s amazing how this song can draw out so much emotion from me if done right. It’s not always about technique, but the emotion you convey when singing it is just worldly when done right! Shout out to Angelina for this beautiful rendition and bringing tears to my eyes. Also shout out to the Queen, love you Whitney 🙏❤️
Thank you very much for a beautiful and detailed reaction/analysis of this performance. Was this only your 3rd reaction to her ?? If so, you REALLY have a lot to catch up on, for sure. PLEASE react to the video that popped up, her studio recording of "Suspicious Minds". Try to brush up on her as much as possible before she releases her debut album with Republic Records later this year 🙂 Angelina just turned 17 on January 10th, and IMHO she is already the best female singer on the planet. I have subscribed to your channel, because I don't want to miss your next reaction to her. Hurry up, will you ??? 😆😁😁 Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
Liza, It's not just you. Angelina has been making me FEEL the songs she sings for years. That is ONE of her unique abilities, she sings from her soul, straight into yours. You will without a doubt enjoy "Suspicious Minds", I look forward to you reaction. For Powerfully sung songs, I love listening to "Its a mans world" live in Oslo in 6-16-2018, also "Lovin You" at Proysenfestivalen - 21.07.2017.
The best young female artist (17 years old) - Angelina sings better than already established world stars. No one can stop Angelina from becoming a world star. That's just how it is! 😊😊👍👍
Genius, Exceptional intellectual or creative power, the greatest musical genius of our time is Angelina Jordan. Can one be hypnotized by sound? Shamans use rhythmic drumming and chanting to achieve control over a mind. Angelina's is unique in that she has the ability to create audios that trigger your brains "frequency following response". She has the ability to create a euphoric addiction to her total being similar to drugs, but without the side effects, she is in fact, like nothing I have ever experienced in the past.
Thanks for not using 'editing' to hide your tearing up from us.... it is about emotion after all, right? well since you ask. 'Suspicious Minds' is currently my fav cover by Angelina. It crushes me.
Mesmerized ! Yes Liza, totally agree 👍 Of course you should listen to "Suspicious minds" a masterpiece cover from Angelina. Can't wait to your next analysis, Gilles from France 🖐️
Thanks Liza for your reaction. I definately prefer the tribute she done on this song 3 years ago. This one is more visual with some nuances that only a few worked, for me at least. Her voice is more powerful now but still needs more hundling, she has a great arsenal now which imo worked much better in her rendition of Suspicious Minds. 👍👏👏
Great reaction if you TH-cam Angelina Jordan you say. It's a black video My absolute favorite thing she's has covered so far I can't stop listening to it !!!!!!!! And I believe this is a live recording from her Christmas concert it's Absolutely Stunning.
@@ShanLiB I didn't know that She needs to put that song out though I hope it's on her new album Unfortunately I don't think that'll be out until next year
We don't get to dictate what she puts out. She, and others in her team, have hinted that the album will be out sometime this summer. We'll see. Meanwhile, Angelina and her team specifically stated that the performance of "You Say" is not to be used,, in ANY context without their approval, which, so far, has not been given to anyone. Personally, I will boycott any channel that knowingly violates that trust or, if they unaware of the theft of content, does not immediately remove the reaction and apologize for using it after they are made aware.
The difference for me is this. Other singers, including Whitney's, I listen and think... nice, well done, beautiful. When Angelina sings it, I'm thinking, what man in his right mind is going to walk away from this girl? Is he nuts? She has to imagine his love in her arms? What's wrong with that guy? I need to have a chat with that boy and straighten him out. Angelina... you don't need that fool. You have the world at your fingertips! Seriously, I never felt the meaning until she sang it. She brings it life as though she's living it. She isn't singing a script. She's telling you her story, but it's not her story, thankfully.
Not just you :) Very nice reaction - I think one of great things about Angelina's singing is those "small details" you mention... One of the things I particularly enjoy about this one is the beautiful "hum" at one point... she is the most beautiful "hummer" I have ever heard... no idea how she does it ! By the way, she also sang this at her concerts in Norway last summer, dedicating the song to her beloved absent Grandma Mery.. rather different feel to the song in this live context (both are beautiful) : th-cam.com/video/BkvsnY7J510/w-d-xo.html
It's normal to cry listening to Angelina. She sings straight to your heart.

She has an analog voice in a digital world, people aren't used to it....she's pure magic.

Just think, a child of nine is the only singer of this classic song who, instead of copying others, took the original as the base for her arrangement, and by so doing performed what to me is now the definitive version of the song. I doubt it will ever be bettered, whatever the age of the singer.
This beautiful young lady has an amazing talent and I pray that in 80 years she's the maven of musicality at almost 100 years old that she is now. I hope she has a long, beautiful, and amazing career in music and that it only changes her for the better.
Angelina is impossible to describe how amazing she is. My mom was a famous singer in the Big Band era, singing with Glen Miller, Tommy Dorsey, etc… in the days of soulful singers, and had a great career. If she was still alive, she would cry watching her, as Angelina is a throwback to my mom’s era. God Bless Angelina, and if you have kids or grandkids, show her videos to let them see what real talent is, and her humble way in her life is how we should all be. Take care, and Suspicious Minds is awesome.
Even though she kept close to the original, Angelina still made it her own with all the little nuances you mentioned. Her timbre is very different from Whitney. Whitney has a very clean powerful voice. Angelina is very powerful as well but has more texture and warmth to it. Both beautiful :-)
During the live concerts this summer she dedicated the song to her absent and recovering grandmother who has been a huge influence on her. This gives the song a very personal and emotional context.
Yep: the texture and warmth of Angelina's voice is just a wonder of the world...
Run to her original of million miles this summer live in norway
angelina jordan cover of you say
AJ always shows so much respect and love of the covers she does. Now we know they are about to release her first album! YES!
The Queen of Emotion, Angelina gets to me every time! Such a lovely reaction.
Indeed an incredible performance. The only improvement that could have been made is to have had a personalised backing track. This one was an off the shelf version with just the pitch changed.
This is beautiful, it's sang in Angelina's rich voice that speaks more to your heart an soul. Rather then just your ears , I really enjoyed your reaction and try to never miss one ,thanks
Great reaction as always. One of my personal favourites. Recently Toby Gad (well-respected song writer & producer) is quoted saying, “Working with Angelina has been nothing short of inspiring. Her ability to channel profound emotion through her voice adds a whole new depth to the song.” They are currently working on other songs for AJ. This will be huge for her.
I really enjoy your reactions/analyses of Angelina's performances. You've already reacted to my all-time favorite song by her (My Funny Valentine) & this version of I Have Nothing is my next favorite, so the next favorite is her total re-interpretation of Elvis' last #1 hit song, Suspicious Minds, all filmed in the same Antique Store. It's not only one of her most beautiful performances, it's nothing like Elvis' cover & it's filled with symbolism/homage to the "King of Rock & Roll."
She is the best famale singer of all time for me . From Brazil
Phenomenal vocals and magical storytelling. Wonderful ❣️
I adore her song "Shield" that she composed herself. Angel is the best singer in this world. Bye Liza
One word, “flawless”.
Hi my friend fantastic reaction Angelina is absolutely amazing and can sing any song a young gentleman taking TH-cam by storm is ren -hi ren this video has had 3 million views in 2 weeks and it is pure genius worth a look and at the end it has a great message many thanks love and respect from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍
Angelina is the goddess of voice and music, better isnt possible, so humble, so much love and soul, storytelling, emotiones, poetry on the highest level 👑♥️🌹💫 she is definitly the best teargas, i like your reaction 😊
After listening to 150 or so of Angelina's videos most of them multiple times. I think I can sum this up in one sentence. "THE GIRL KNOWS HOW TO SING".....
Loved your reaction. And no shame, this 77 yr old cries all the time listening to my sweet Angel. God put her on earth to remind us we all have a soul and she reaches into mine all the time.
I love your enthusiasm for the greatest singer on the planet. I was one of the fortunate individuals to attend two of her concerts in Norway. She makes me cry. I even got to spend time with Angelina and her mother (Sara) after both concerts. It was magical.
We all have tears when Angelina sings
Nice reaction again! Angelina has so much to show you! Please continue reacting to her! 🇧🇻❤️
What a marvelous reaction. I cried with you ...
Awesome reaction and I have at least 20 # 1 songs of her, can't single 1 out! You will find that is what most people say, this is my new favorite every time she releases a new video. She is the Master and "Suspicious Minds", is another Master Piece, they just keep coming, God Bless!
What makes her stand above the rest is the fact that she makes you feel the emotions of the song. It is one thing to hear a great voice, but it is another to reach into you and make you feel the emotions from deep inside yourself.
Yes Angelinas live version of this song, outside concert in Norway, wearing the same baby blue gown and white gloves with her hair up in the daylight!
As someone who’s listened and loved all of the tones and nuances of Angelina’s soul- touching interpretations of songs, it’s so satisfying to share listening to them with someone who appreciates them on the same, or even deeper, level- especially if it’s their first discoveries of her!! Your reactions- analytical and emotional- are so wonderful and satisfying to hear and see! This was from months ago, so I don’t know how much you’ve heard now, but I’d say, don’t miss these covers!! : “ A Million Years Ago” (Adele) and “ Stay” ( Rihanna) - both amazingly at about age 12. My favorites from her youth were “ What a Difference a Day Makes” and “ Summertime”- both at 7 or 8 ( Those 2 were from her winning run on Norway’s Got Talent. ) You can’t go wrong with any of her music, but don’t miss these!!
I love your observations and analysis.
I Don't cry for anything...But this Angel makes me cry constantly 😢 😭 🤧 💗, absolutely mind-boggling.
It’s amazing how this song can draw out so much emotion from me if done right. It’s not always about technique, but the emotion you convey when singing it is just worldly when done right! Shout out to Angelina for this beautiful rendition and bringing tears to my eyes. Also shout out to the Queen, love you Whitney 🙏❤️
Her live version from some amazing hilltop in Norway (i think) is stunning, so is her dress! ;)
I think her cover of Easy on Me is absolutely stupendous! I’d love to see you react to that. Great job bringing out the details of her art!🙏
Signature vocale unique, une véritable merveille de perfection et d'émotion! J'adore! 🤍🤍🤍
Hi Liza hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤️
Wonderful wonderful reaction .. thank you.
Thank you very much for a beautiful and detailed reaction/analysis of this performance. Was this only your 3rd reaction to her ?? If so, you REALLY have a lot to catch up on, for sure. PLEASE react to the video that popped up, her studio recording of "Suspicious Minds". Try to brush up on her as much as possible before she releases her debut album with Republic Records later this year 🙂
Angelina just turned 17 on January 10th, and IMHO she is already the best female singer on the planet. I have subscribed to your channel, because I don't want to miss your next reaction to her.
Hurry up, will you ??? 😆😁😁 Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
Angelina great singer, storyteller and masterless her voice is phenomenal hypnotic
She’s so young yet she’s already right up there with the greatest singers of all time.
Liza, It's not just you. Angelina has been making me FEEL the songs she sings for years. That is ONE of her unique abilities, she sings from her soul, straight into yours.
You will without a doubt enjoy "Suspicious Minds", I look forward to you reaction. For Powerfully sung songs, I love listening to "Its a mans world" live in Oslo in 6-16-2018, also "Lovin You" at Proysenfestivalen - 21.07.2017.
The best young female artist (17 years old) - Angelina sings better than already established world stars. No one can stop Angelina from becoming a world star. That's just how it is! 😊😊👍👍
… There are many good singers... but Angelina is the "Diamond" ✨💎✨ among them !!! … Thank you
Genius, Exceptional intellectual or creative power, the greatest musical genius of our time is Angelina Jordan. Can one be hypnotized by sound? Shamans use rhythmic drumming and chanting to achieve control over a mind. Angelina's is unique in that she has the ability to create audios that trigger your brains "frequency following response". She has the ability to create a euphoric addiction to her total being similar to drugs, but without the side effects, she is in fact, like nothing I have ever experienced in the past.
I love her version of " Every Time We Say Goodbye", when she was twelve years old
Her version of Autumn Leaves and Love Me Tender. Thank you LizaQuin for another wonderful reactions thumbs up.
Yeah totally beautiful. Love it! 💗💗💗
You should go Back and listen to her when she sang this at 13, I actually prefer that one even though her voice is more developed now!!
For her singing in a low register check out How Great Thou Art
Thanks for not using 'editing' to hide your tearing up from us.... it is about emotion after all, right?
well since you ask. 'Suspicious Minds' is currently my fav cover by Angelina. It crushes me.
Masterpiece of a Diva !!!!!!!!!!
Just thank you for your reaction
favorite version of "Nothing at all" , I say check out So Hyang version
Another tip notch pro level review & reaction. I admire the generous respect you afford
At the concert in Kurbadhagen Norway,this song was number eighteen and last song.
Mesmerized ! Yes Liza, totally agree 👍 Of course you should listen to "Suspicious minds" a masterpiece cover from Angelina. Can't wait to your next analysis, Gilles from France 🖐️
Amazing voice
With all due respect, there's no such thing as a favorite with Angelina, because they're all Amazing
I just watching it she amazing she’s fantastic singing the key E
Puro spettacolo sentire un talento cosi mostruoso.
A a voice geek you'd appreciate her use of a "squall" with the word "walk". Beautifully produced reaction video Lisa,👏👏😍😍
She's the "Girl that makes us cry", "Old soul", "Rabbit hole", "No words" & "Next Level Event" Because "She is" I say "World changer"
Loved Angelina doing Bohemian Rapsody but also.. her & Chris Stapleton doing a virtual duet Tennessee whiskey & rather go blind!!!!
Thanks Liza for your reaction. I definately prefer the tribute she done on this song 3 years ago. This one is more visual with some nuances that only a few worked, for me at least. Her voice is more powerful now but still needs more hundling, she has a great arsenal now which imo worked much better in her rendition of Suspicious Minds. 👍👏👏
Hi! Did you mean "hundling" (I've never come across that word before), or should it have been "handling"?
Great reaction if you TH-cam Angelina Jordan you say. It's a black video My absolute favorite thing she's has covered so far I can't stop listening to it !!!!!!!! And I believe this is a live recording from her Christmas concert it's Absolutely Stunning.
It is stealing from Angelina. It was stolen from a pay-per-view live stream of Angelina's Christmas 2021 special.
@@ShanLiB I didn't know that She needs to put that song out though I hope it's on her new album Unfortunately I don't think that'll be out until next year
We don't get to dictate what she puts out. She, and others in her team, have hinted that the album will be out sometime this summer. We'll see. Meanwhile, Angelina and her team specifically stated that the performance of "You Say" is not to be used,, in ANY context without their approval, which, so far, has not been given to anyone. Personally, I will boycott any channel that knowingly violates that trust or, if they unaware of the theft of content, does not immediately remove the reaction and apologize for using it after they are made aware.
The difference for me is this. Other singers, including Whitney's, I listen and think... nice, well done, beautiful. When Angelina sings it, I'm thinking, what man in his right mind is going to walk away from this girl? Is he nuts? She has to imagine his love in her arms? What's wrong with that guy? I need to have a chat with that boy and straighten him out. Angelina... you don't need that fool. You have the world at your fingertips! Seriously, I never felt the meaning until she sang it. She brings it life as though she's living it. She isn't singing a script. She's telling you her story, but it's not her story, thankfully.

Liza think of anything, but her voice just nothing matters voice
Storyteller
I believe you truly need an Angelina playlist, and then fill it up.
Million miles Angelina jordan live at congsburg
Absolutely magnificent
When we were young is great
uauuuuuuuu! minha nossa canta demais.
Just discovered your reactions to this and the two prior ones. Great analysis. Thanks.
Nice reaction.👍
And you look quite lovely today. 😍
SUSPICIOUS MINDS is brilliant
Suspicious Minds is magnifique, million mile
Not just you :) Very nice reaction - I think one of great things about Angelina's singing is those "small details" you mention... One of the things I particularly enjoy about this one is the beautiful "hum" at one point... she is the most beautiful "hummer" I have ever heard... no idea how she does it ! By the way, she also sang this at her concerts in Norway last summer, dedicating the song to her beloved absent Grandma Mery.. rather different feel to the song in this live context (both are beautiful) : th-cam.com/video/BkvsnY7J510/w-d-xo.html
Angelina has Hummer-sized hums :-)
What a tribute to WH !!!
