Possibly the best explanation of "how" of this A.J. phenomenon.
Angelina just did a concert in Vegas on 2-29-24. She did 2 concerts back to back the same did.
They allowed camera phones to post all of the songs for all of us to watch. She is 18 in these videos
You will be blown away.
Hi there jolly Molly :-) This is the first time I see your channel, and after having seen your reaction I instantly subscribed. I think this was just a wonderful way of describing what Angelina does and does to you. This is exactly what we all feel, and hence is the reason why we love her so much. The fact that her fanbase covers ALL age groups really speaks to that.
I'm sorry to hear about your healt issues, but you seem to be incredibly positive and sweet regardless. Mad respect to you for that !
Where should you go next with Angelina ? Personally, I think you should start with the beginning. She made a studio recording at the age of 6 (one year before she won Norway's Got Talent), covering "I Who Have Nothing". Then I firmly think you should continue with her Norway's Got Talent performances. This will all set a firm base for you to even better understand what and who Angelina is. After that, maybe you should jump to her newer stuff, and/or go to one of her originals (there are 5 of them at this stage). Then you still have like 130 covers by her (recorded when she was 12 and 13 years old), spanning through all genres, where eventually it will dawn on you why we call her The girl with the thousand voices. Anywho, here is the link for "I Who Have Nothing" : th-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/w-d-xo.html
Stay safe Molly, and take care. I can't wait to watch your next reaction.
Very much love and respect coming your way from Norway ❤️❤️❤️
First, my deepest condolences to you on your medical issues, and my sincere hope that things get better soon.
That being said, thank you for the reaction and commentary. Believe me, all of us know exactly what you're saying. She lives the songs. She's not simply mouthing the lyrics - it's much deeper than that - she reaches down into your center, soothes and calms your soul and makes your problems slide into the background, for a short bit, at least. Probably the best medicine for you ever. Keep up the good work. Subscribed.
I am letting you know that this girl has an addictive voice. I can't stop listening to her. Every day.
Molly, I love your reactions and your heart. I understand just what you mean. So many fans of Angelina cry when she sings or smiles or looks sad. Myself included. Why? It is a profound connection deep down in the heart. When you feel it, you know it - perhaps a heart memory from lifetimes past...
Thank you again for reacting to Angelina ! It's so much appreciated ! Her jazz infused background allows her to sing such songs so well ! She understands the songs completely and her soul is definitely in tune with these songs ! All artists are influenced by other artist naturally by listening and bringing their vocal qualities to her voice ! I agree she is young and hasn't experienced most of what the songs are about ! But she certainly is very capable of transferring their meaning with unbelievable emotion and committment so naturally it's uncanny ! Even at this young age she sings like an experienced professional eventhough her voice still developing ! She uses all her vocal abilities completely in every song ! If you close your eyes and just listen to the song you would never expect to see a young child when you opened your eyes ! Her voice is so mature for her age ! I would suggest you listen to her at 13 with Bohemian Rhapsody from AGT the champions ! This was an absolute masterpiece. and will blow your mind for sure ! She is 15 now and her own songs "Million Miles and 7th Heaven " live in the studio are so fantastic ! So many songs to react to ! Thank you for your wonderful and honest comments ! Angelina would be so proud knowing she has another You Tube supporter ! Enjoy the ride and keep posting ! 👍🤗🇨🇦🇨🇦♥️♥️♥️
Great Reaction Molly really enjoyed that,just Love Angelina She is the best Frances from Scotlandxx
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Thanks for another insightful Angelina reaction Molly. As an Angelina fan the two things I look forward to most are new releases from Angelina and others discovering and reacting to her incredible work for the first time.
You are definitely onto something special about Angelina when you say that she embodies and inhabits the song. To me Angelina is much more than a great singer, she is a uniquely gifted interpreter of music and lyrics. She lives and breathes the song and its message, and her passion shines through in every performance. There are of course many other remarkably talented singers, but none of them move me the way Angelina does.
I don’t think you should feel obligated to follow any particular approach to discovering Angelina’s work. You chose Feeling Good for your second reaction because you really like the song, and to me that’s a great way to decide what songs to react to.
Having said that, here are a few of my recommendations (in chronological order, with links). Lately TH-cam has been deleting my comments that include links (mistaking them for spam I believe), but I’m hoping these will stay (I think if you add one of those little hearts to a comment it does not get deleted).

Finally, I just want to add that I’m sorry to hear about your health issues. I applaud you for your courage, determination, and adaptability in dealing with the vicissitudes life has thrown at you.
(PS: I too came from humble beginnings and ended up going to Columbia. I’m now a philosophy professor.)
You will be saying "that's my new favorite" alot in the near future. Angelina's interpretations are "the soul of the song." I like that way of putting it, thank you.
I think Angelina is an empath with an innate understanding of emotion, and has mastered the ability to communicate emotion - from her heart to ours.
Your struggle to understand the way in which Angelina can connect with the message of a song and communicate it anew to listeners irrespective of her own experiences is one of her many mysteries. As such it has perplexed many.
angelina has said she goes to a place in her head ,thinks about the music and has a good time. she says the place is endless and a happy place. i believe that is why she is always laughing at end of some of her songs. thanks so much...
I'll keep it short and sweet....I love your reactions/analysis and, if I may say, I think you look great.
The Norwegian singer (Now based in LA) Angelina Jordan is easily explained as the best, most versatile, and complete young singer we can listen to today.
No need to hurry, I'm sure Angelina has good people around her. When her record label (Republic Records) , family and herself want it, they can just push the button. Many people forget that she is only 15 years old today because she is so mature for her age. I think everyone on her team including the record company (Republic Records), slows down a bit with marketing her. She is so good anyway, so she can not be ignored. She delivers music that lasts, and not music that lasts for a few weeks as plastic hit. Angelina has over 600 Million Views on TH-cam and over 2 Billion Views on Facebook overall on her videos. Angelina won Norway's Got Talent at the Age of 8, and has been producing masterclass level vocals ever since. The only and regular marketing is done by the fans via TH-cam. All the important top personalities in the western music industry know who she is and what she can do. In just a few years I know that we will see great things from Angelina.
If you need to identify who she sound like, I can tell you that she has 1000 different voices to choose from, depending on the song choice and type .. It's Angelina.
Thank you for reaacing to the diamond vocals
Her composure when the camera comes in from the side purely professional. She grew up listening to jazz because that was what her grandmother listened to.
Love Love Love your analysis of how Angelina touches us. I can’t get enough of her. I look forward to future Angelina reactions!
The girl is otherworldly… she is a musical genius the likes of Mozart. There is something different about her… something special. She is, (in my humble opinion), the best vocalist in the world. Maybe of all time. She is truly incredible.
She sings in the first person. When she sings, she is the song.
Love your reaction to Angelina. She is protected by her family. She was born to heal the world thru song, IMO. God has given her the tools she needs.
Thanks Molly for this reaction. I watched the first one and have now subscribed. Start at any age and you will be amazed or put all her songs in a box and just draw one.😃😃
At first I thought, wow an Angelina wig! But, then I heard why. Let me just say that was a brilliant reaction video, one of the best in fact. Thank you. Looking forward to more, all in good time.
❤️ your reaction 👍🙂
Have you seen Angelina Jordan's I who have nothing cover?
I appreciate your comment about "protecting her at all costs". Highest priority !
Appreciate your comment about protecting her at all costs !
Go back to the beginning, Angelina Jordan, Norway got talent, all performances.
We stan Angelic voice Angelina Jordan !!! And love to see your lovely reactions for her amazing performances Molly ❤❤❤
I believe that all Angelina's loyal fans grapple with the fundamental mystery. What is it that makes her so good, not just good, phenomenal, how did it happen? It can't be lived experience, so she is tapping into the music itself. Music is imbued with feeling and she has developed the vocal and performative tools to express and communicate that feeling in a way few others have done. She has an unbelievable ear for the nuances of jazz and the ability to bring them into her performances. If your instinct is to gravitate to songs and musical genres you know and love then do that. You really can't go wrong, Angelina covers the gamut and will amaze you every time. I'll be watching, your reactions are terrific.
Wonderful reaction. You may have set a “getting Angelina” speed record. 18 months for me and I’m still out on the track, several laps behind. For me it’s always been about her ability to connect with a song, inhabit it, feel the emotion and then connect with the lister, conveying that emotion on a ground floor level. And all the brilliant and effortlessly executed vocal techniques she uses to do that. But you said that and added several more layers off depth. It was impressive for a second listen.
As for where to go next, please do not feel the obligation to get caught up in a strict order of reacting, chronological or otherwise. The great thing about Angelina‘s repertoire is that there are all kinds of different little pockets to explore, different genres, different time periods, originals versus covers, jazz versus other genres etc. One of her most iconic performances at least before she started putting out originals and covers under Republic Records was her America’s Got Talent, Champions, version of Bohemian Rhapsody. It’s breathtaking. But she’s got five original songs out now, two of them in the past six months. Her vocals keeps getting better and better.
Of the ones not mentioned, some of my favorites are
- Every time you say goodbye
- Summertime (my personal favorite is the KORK version)
- Cry Me a River (this - m.th-cam.com/video/jV8HIVL2VDE/w-d-xo.html - version, I’m not a fan fan of the version with the military band for this song though I am a fan of pretty much everything else yes she has done with them),
- Young and Beautiful (Lana Del Rey), - I will survive (mind blowing vocals)
- It’s a Man’s World (devastating power)
- I’m Still Holding Out for You (devastatingly powerful emotion, incredible maturity, a studio recording with Baby FuzZ of his original song)
Any of her originals, especially:
- Shield (Skavlan version) and her two most recent ones,
- Million miles and
- 7th Heaven
- (and What is Life and Oslo, her first two, also, lol!)
- and the list just keeps going on.
For special “significance” in her career, it would be Bohemian Rhapsody and the 5 that came after it. Oh, and her NGT performances.
Just pick something from one of our lists (or Rusty’s master list) that you would like to hear.
Very interesting reaction, I look forward to more Angelina. I recommend you pick a song you know & love already, then see what she did to make it her own. Of her 140 songs, they are all good, but about 100 are amazing & about 45 are vocal masterpieces, IMHO. You've heard 2 of the latter category.
Fantastici Angelina and i love so much your reaction, Thanks so much.
This girl is incredible!!
Lady of the Dragons, since I came across a video of Angelina Jordan a year ago, not a single day has gone by that I haven't seen 4, 5 performances of her per day. You get hooked on this extraordinary artist.
So do I 👍👍
Same here, I watch at least 10 performances everyday.
Molly, you did very well offering your opinions about where Angelina is coming from. You are underestimating her, however, and that's okay. You haven't heard enough yet.
She has about 6 originals already and all of them are terrific. And, over 125 covers. She covers all the classics and all the classic singers. The "joke" in the industry is that if Angelina decides to do a cover on your song it will probably be better than the original!
She chooses the songs she wants to sing. She reads the lyrics and gets to know the song and the meaning of the message. She then decides to, perhaps, put emphasis on different words to tell a "better story" . And, she also determines if there are inappropriate passages in the song she changes the lyrics slightly. And, Molly, here's the killer. She's been doing this since she's nine years old. And, when she sings before a band or an orchestra she is able to tell them exactly what she wants. She plays several instruments herself. In interviews with musicians, they all praise her and none of them think of her as a young kid. She is an artist and the more you hear you will begin to understand why many people are regarding her as a musical genius.
Molly, I know I go on and on so I'll stop here. But, please continue to enjoy her and you are right about her fans ("Angels"). We love her with all our heart and she is family to us. When she sings all her songs have different stories to tell and she reacts accordingly. But, there is one constant, her love pours out of her and goes straight to our hearts. No other artist has ever consistently touched us emotionally the way she does. I believe you will eventually agree she is a messenger of love.
I think you have hit on a point very clearly that Angelina embodies the song. Her unique interpretation of it with all her vocal nuances brings a new sensation to us listeners. It is evident that the musicians with her are performing to their best too.
Angelina is magic 😍🤩 thanks from Italy 🇮🇹☺
"Music is about emotions and Angelina is....MUSIC!!
Thank you for taking the time to read through the comments and learn all about Angelina. I think it adds a little something extra when you listen to her just knowing what a beautiful soul she has. As far as how she 'relates' to some of the songs she sings.... I think that she sings them from her own perspective. So for example, a song that was originally written as a statement of love to a bf/gf, she (at 8, 10) years old was interpreting the "love" in the song as a the love of a child for her mother, or grandmother. It's the only way I can explain it. You just can't fake the feeling she puts into her performances. It has to be coming from within. She has to be making that connection somehow. The amazing thing is, that by her making her own personal connections to these songs, she has brought new meaning to old songs. There are songs that I have heard my whole life, and never really understood them until this little girl from Norway explained them to me properly.
BTW: I like that you are listening with headphones too. She puts so much subtle details on her vocals, and headphones are the best way to hear them. The two you have done so far (this and 'spell') are both a little more in your face, but just wait until you get to some of her softer stuff. I recommend "Stay", "Million Year Ago"... there's just so many... pick anything from her cover channel and you are going to land on a winner.
I Love this!! So well put... and most specifically " There are songs that I have heard my whole life, and never really understood them until this little girl from Norway explained them to me properly."
Oh hell, yeah! She painted Angelina all over this wonderful song!
For someone with very limited exposure to Angelina, you did a remarkable job of trying to explain the way she exudes emotions that she has hopefully never experienced at her age. Reactors have been trying to figure out the mystery behind her abilities. Angelina speaks 3-4 languages and is a musical prodigy who has been doing her own arrangements since she was 8. I truly believe she is on some, if not all, levels a genius. I truly believe she has a deeper understanding of the lyrics to the songs she performs than what would seem normal for her age. You haven't experienced enough of her performances to understand this, but one commenter said she is not only a songwriter but a song-righter.
Some have suggested she is an empath, but one thing is for sure she doesn't just sing she emotes.
Enjoy your journey with Angelina. some have said a daily dose of Angelina is the best medicine in the world, and I for one agree.
Thank you so much for your comment! I honestly spent a lot of time thinking about her abilities after hearing the first song and this one just kind of started to help my crystalize my thoughts into something I could articulate (or at least sort of articulate in an understandable way lol). I will have to keep listening and watching her performances with the idea of her being "not only a songwriter but a song-righter" in mind!
Rest Reaction Molly E s out of this world So Special Frances from Scotlandxx
Thanks for your thoughtful reaction. You’ve gone down this fascinating and rewarding “Rabbit Hole” and you won’t regret it. I look forward to your next AJ reaction. Take your pick, you can’t go wrong.
She is a Time Machine that takes you back to a more elegant time.
You aren't rumbling, you are explaining yourself just fine. Indeed, you are being quite insightful in your reaction. Thank you much for your insights on Angelina's performance, and the soul and emotion she transmits.
Angelina Jordan is masterful with her voice. So soft spoken
Hard to come up with words to express how you feel when watching her. She's just so talented
Since this is two years old, I'm really not sure you will read this. But if you do, I pray you are doing better health wise. Ms Angelina IS music and I love every thing she does. Please be well.
AJ brings a specific emotional aspect to each and every performance. Her covers are better than the originals bcos of it. By going back to her beginnings you’ll see that she has absorbed a song’s intent and gives it the AJ flavor. The breath of her capabilities to do this in so many genres is beyond most imaginations. And she does it with understated simplicity and an undying humility. Who else can kill Billie Holiday, Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Frank Sinatra, and Elvis all from sitting at their sofa?
Thank you for your reaction. Angelina communicate to our souls through her songs in the way she convey the words and meaning of it to us. She is a story teller through her songs. I still think you must take the time and listen to her 4 songs at NGT when she was 7 and 8 and won. It will give you a better understanding where she came from with her music.
Nice reaction. It is hard to explain Angelina, but that is what endears us to her. A God given talent which comes along once in a century, and she embodies what we seek in an enormous talent. She brings out emotions in her songs, and she is the best of the best. Glad you are part of the journey, as I can see your positive vibes. fly me to the Moon is amazing. She just did Heal th World, and so many others. Beth and Joe I’d rather go Blind is off the charts is incredible, and Beth Heart is insanely talented.
Really enjoyed yourReactionMolly,hope you are well.Angelina has just dropped anew original song which is coming from anAlbum of6,s vibes This one is Called Love Don’t Let meGoLove Frances from Scotlandxx another Cat person
Xx
Molly you should know that she is from a well-to-do family. After her win on Norway's Got Talent, the family allowed her, as she has had complete freedom to arrange and direct all of her music, to hire her own band and two gentlemen guitarists to accompany her occasionally on various covers. This cut is that band with several string members added. I would recommend that you react to her cover of "Born To Die," written by Lana Del Rey. In that cut she is in her music room in Norway, late at night with her grandma taping the video and the AKAI keyboard playing a prerecorded track. She is 12 when she did this. By the way, you look beautiful.
Thank you so much for your awesome reaction, Molly. I'm a 66 year old male, 60/70's rock upbringing, but I'll tell you what? A fan of Angelina's for almost a year now and honestly? She is one of my top 5 female vocalist, spanning decades and pretty close to my number 3. Lol, my top two are going to be hard to beat.
Please stay well, take care of yourself and looking forward to future reactions.
One request. Angelina at age 6 in the studio singing the Tom Jones classic, "I Who Have Nothing", the link is here
th-cam.com/video/5s_oNKtYLko/w-d-xo.html
Honestly you should listen to everything Angelina sings because everything she sings is great.
It has always seemed to me that Angelina, being exposed to jazz classics at such a young age, learned/perceives music on a different level. As if she understands and expresses emotions through the nuances of the voice- raspiness, musicality... she exudes the sentiment of the songs she performs.
Dear Molly & listeners i feel that soulful Angelina is showing us through her journey of singing in her own unique way that we can ALL evolve in our own way too. Showing our true natural self whether this is through music, writing, speaking or selfless random acts of kindness. This is what i believe that this old soul within Angelina has returned to this planet to teach us how to genuinely communicate through the heart - Angelina's way is her expressing music through her heart & as a young child the emotive aspect is crystal clear which is sadly lost by many many adults who experience adversity in life & to a large degree lose that innocence. Thank you Molly for giving light to a possible meaning behind Angelina's ability to connect the song with sincere emotions to all who hear her singing from the heart.💖
She steps into the depths of every song she does, and she also steps into your soul and takes you with her. She is a once in 2 lifetime's singer and we are sooo fortunate to be here for the ride. Super reaction!💯
Angelina is perfection!
You look fab.........no problem.......like your positiveness. And I cried ....tears of joy.... I think Angelina was born with Empathy. I also believe her Grandma helped her to understand and how to research each song she sings.
" She resonates with the soul of the song" is a nice way to put it:)
First of all thank you for another wonderful reaction video, this performance in particular is one of my absolute favorite performances of Angelina's that I have seen thus far! She sings with such maturity, both in her voice and in her ability to communicate the message and emotions of a song, she is a phenomenal musical artist as well as a phenomenal human being!
You talked a lot about her ability to embody a song or her ability, as I put it, to communicate the message and emotions of a song. I personally like to believe that she is able to do this simply because she possesses a maturity beyond her years. From the very beginning until now she continually shows time and time again the ability to understand songs so deeply and with such maturity, and equally as impressive communicate that understanding in her delivery of the song and in her delivery of each lyric.
It is said so often that Angelina has her own unique and special style and I believe you can contribute that to much more than just how she arranges, sings, and delivers the music that she sings. I believe her mature understanding of life, people, and emotion is what gives her the ability to do all that at the impressive level that she does with seemingly every performance.
One thing of it all is certain, Angelina is truly an intelligent girl with a golden heart, and the sky is the limit for what she is capable of! I believe her passion for people and making our world a better place is going to lead her do amazing things that go far beyond her musical career. Because of who she is as a person she has me as a fan forever and I will be forever rooting for her!
I wish nothing but protection, love, and blessings for her, her family, her team, and everyone who makes what she is doing possible as she continues her journey! Thank you again for a wonderful reaction, wishing you blessings as well!
Only one words “ amazing “
Exactly!! Only your second reaction to her music and you nailed it. Her focus is delivering the integrity and emotion of the song. She's not flashy. She doesn't put herself ahead of the meaning and emotional intent of the writer of the song. No one delivers and elicits the emotions of the song better than AJ.
There is no singer on the planet that can equal her
Molly Bee thanks for the reaction. AJ is a gift to the world!❤️❤️❤️
Angelina is a modern-day Mozart and a singing goddess one-in-a-billion
Goose bumps , she owns the rights of giving them out , not many can do that with more than one song .
Hi Molly, IMO you were spot on with the explanation of "how" she does it. She has said that she goes to a magical place when singing and I feel she is relating the lyrics to something that has touched her in some way. I personally love her song choices. It's just so unusual for someone so young to be able to deliver a song that touches you so deeply. I have always loved music but I have to admit that I don't put as much emphasis on the lyrics but when Angelina sings I pay very close attention to lyrics and somehow she knows exactly how to get me to pay attention. Her phrasing or stressing certain words or notes, I don't know but it works! I must say that your reactions to Angelina have been very well thought out and explained with complete respect and I very much appreciate it. I would suggest for the next review either "WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES, Allsang pa Grensen 2014"at 8 years old with a jazz band and back up singers at an outdoor venue with a huge audience, or, "EVERY TIME WE SAY GOODBYE" on the roof of a TV station in Norway with only acoustic guitar. Thank you so much for a wonderful reaction Molly.
Well said, well read... Good for you! Welcome to the world of one of the world's best singers of all times... She is a serious blessing to this crazy world!!!
Great reaction and analysis! I think you explained it best in regards of how she sings her songs. Many have said she was reincarnated from an old soul jazz singer. Others have stated that God wanted to give our world a musical prodigy to bless us with her gift of music. Whatever the reason, I've been hooked and can't stop listening to her music.
So sorry about your chronic pain issue. You do the best you can and hope for the best. I have been going through chemotherapy myself and it's no fun. I lost a lot of weight, my fingertips feel numb, I can't taste anything, and my strength fluctuates from day to day. Listening to Angelina sing makes my day a little bit better. I try to listen to her every day. Keep up the good work and wishing you to have more good days than bad!
You are a lovely person. We know that Mozart wrote his first concerto at five years old. His first full opera at what 12 or 13? Many of us believe that this is the same sort of thing found in Angelina. A very rare thing. For me, an aging cynic that has heard and seen everything as far as music goes, this young woman literally changed my life with her music and goodness. No longer so cynical. No small feat. Enjoy your journey.
Thanks Molly, you are becoming a special reactor to Angelina. Very glad you discovered her! Let’s enjoy this together!!
Believe it or not your "rambling" makes sense with clarity. #AngelinaJordan is a special gift that many of us who surf TH-cam for music content have been privileged to discover. The further down the Angelina rabbit hole you go the greater the feeling of goodness in humanity you will find in her song and in her countless world-wide fans. Great review, keep going.
Its nice to see a new reactor especially a good looking one.I wonder how long it will take you to become a super fan.After a few songs I was hooked and now can't get enough of her.Thanks for doing this.
Aside from snippets of home videos, about the earliest recording to watch, is when she's 6 years old in the studio belting out, I Who Have Nothing.
According to Ivan Mendez,an LA based guitarist that she did many covers with,Angelina is a student of music and he said that she knew much more about a wide variety of songs than he does,despite being a decade younger.A photo of her walking with Sinatra's Songbook speaks volumes of her genuine passion and work ethic.Great intro and reaction,I won't be missing any of your AJ reactions.
Thanks, Molly. This was a great reaction and discussion about a complex young woman delivering a performance that most artists could ever deliver. When the camera is pulled back, the breathtaking reality hits. There is a band of seasoned musicians highlighting the singing of a 10 year old before a large audience. And she did the equivalent many times before a pandemic stopped things cold. I could not agree more that this is because, as you point out, she can feel and do things that we are unable to really understand. Again, thanks and I hope you feel better.
Peter Hormell
Great reaction and summary. You pose many good questions about Angelina’s ability to “inhabit” a song. Beyond her music, there is much fascinating information available about her including actual quotes from Angelina that reveal that she is a true empath.
This absolutely comes through in her most poignant masterpieces, both original songs and covers. ❤️ I look forward to your reactions to them.
Absolutely has the Universal Spirit and Soul of both the singer and song resonates through her soul.
Her roots are in jazz. This allows her exceptional vocal ability to apply the proper
emotional response the song calls for. Have never heard anyone with her vocal
versatility that span an enormous amount of genres. She is truly a 'one of a kind'
singer.
What a Difference a Day Makes outdoor concert
Who wouldn’t feel good after a performance like!
I agree, that this is one of the best versions of this song I've ever heard.. It's classic and perfect and the smile she gives the cameraman as he's right up in her face is priceless. Angelina is unique, in my experience, unflappable, elegant and perfect.
Thank you Molly, so on point with your ‘resonating with the soul of the song’ is so entirely true of what Angie is doing with her artistry. It is deep and strikes our essence. You are fabulously articulating so well. I’d say splash a current original like ‘7th Heaven’ or from 2 or so years ago ‘What Is Life (acoustic)’ 🌹
hi Molly ,,,you seem like a very good and honest person,,,,just my feeling,,,,,,since you mentioned you have some health issues please consider Angelina as an energy source,,,,yes she heals souls and lift spirits ,,,,,,allow the magic to happen and with a little trust and faith and our energy we send you ,you might feel better,,,,,,experience Angelina fully ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,thanks for reaction and get well
Thank you so much - you are very kind to say this! I will tell you, listening to her performances has been very helpful and uplifting to me on difficult days, so I think you are onto something here!
@@MollyBeeReacts the fact that you reply tells me i was right about you,,,,its gonna be all ok and you will experience a good life
I like that one little moment when she looks directly at the camera
Just watched your (double reaction) to our Angel's Norway performances of "Gloomy Sunday" & "Bang Bang". Since JAZZ is one of your favorite genres, you're in for a HUGE TREAT. Her first audition was sung acapella, since Jazz is her 1st love, she sang Billie Holiday's "I'm a Fool to Love You". She won the competition singing "Summertime" (most famously performed by Ella Fitzgerald. I'm positive many of this child prodigy and incredibly gifted interpreter of classic songs have shared her love of jazz, her Grandmother played it all the time, Angelina became enamored of it, she refers to her love of Billie Holiday. Your reactions are great! We've ALL been moved like no other by this ONE OF A KIND, vocalist extraordinaire, Angelina!! She will make you smile, cry and touch your heart... Buckle up and enjoy the ride, you'll soar to places you didn't know existed musically!! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Stay healthy please! You are a fantastic reactor. Your easy going manner and insightful thoughts and analyzes are much appreciated. Keep up the good work for there are so many more songs for you to explore, over 140!
You hit up on a universal and existential point when you talk about Angelina's being able to evoke emotion. In addition to her pure talent Angelina brings two very unique abilities to her music.
Firstly, she is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices. She can adjust Her style, register, tone, and pitch to any song or artist she is covering. You can't just love Angelina's voice. You must love her voices. As you go through different types of songs you will hear different voices for sure.
Angelina also has the ability as you say to elicit emotion in her listeners based on events in the lyrics that she has never experienced. She has read quite a lot we understand since she was little so has absorbed information about The human condition. She understands what feelings are although she may not understand them specifically to a situation. Regardless, she can create those emotions very accurately strongly.
To witness a couple of other songs where emotion is important on full display, check these out.
A million years ago by Adele
Born to Die by Lana Del Rey
All I Ask by Adele
I'd rather be blind by Etta James
Are You lonesome Tonight by Elvis Presley
You will notice some of her vocal changes here as well.
Just a quick note regarding your noticing the reason for no shoes in her humanitarian spirit, she is also donated millions of dollars to children's charities since winning Norway's Got Talent. She is a very special individual to be cherished and very inspiring.
I look forward to more of your amazement!
I’m so glad you’re reacting to Angelina thank you
It is a pure preassure to see and hear your reaction, Molly Bee. Angelina Jordan is beyond this world talented, and we only need to enjoy and be grateful to be able to listen to her.
The young living legend, Angelina
Best singer on earth. Period.
Is it possible that a 10-year-old child took a Nina Simone song and did it just as good?!?! That is a miracle.
I mean we're talking about Nina Simone here a woman who is universally recognized as having one of the most unique vocals in musical history 90% of adult professional musicians would shy away from doing a cover of a song like this
Angelina is a siren calling me into a sea of tears.
Firstly, thank you for another excellent reaction to Angelina. To crystallize your remarks, all I can do is to repeat a comment I made when you reacted to "I put a spell on you:". Angelina does not "sing" a song, she "lives" a song. This, together with her ability to intuitively recognize the emotions within the lyrics of the song she has chosen to sing and convey those emotions to her listener, makes her, in my opinion and that of thousands of others, the best singer living today.
In the song to which you have just reacted, the very low tone she used on the word "good" at the beginning and end and the incredible crescendo give me a jolt whenever I hear them - and I must have listened to this performance hundreds of times. Did you notice the cheeky smile she gave to the cameraman at 5.59 - 6.01 of the video, and how the "performance" Angelina almost instantaneously changed into the 10-year-old child she was and gave a modest curtsey to acknowledge the applause of the audience?
If you want to keep, to jazz, you really should listen to her cover of Etta James. Here is the link: age 13 - I’d Rather Go Blind - th-cam.com/video/pK8mMXQb3_I/w-d-xo.html (sound enhanced)
Hello Molly, when i HEARD HER SING , I WAS LIKE WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, SO YOUNG AND , WHAT A VOICE
After this amazing performance she did a 3 full Sommer concert tour with a part of the musicians. Thanks to Boris her superfan to let us listen when she was 11y old. It was phantastic
She does her own arrangements also, on every song she does the arrangement, just wow.
The song "A MILLION MILES" answers your questions about whether she understands what she wrote. She wrote this song.
she puts life in the songs. They are more than just lyrics and notes. She adds soul and emotions to those lyrics.
"Playing with the tempo.."
I've said it often, her musical timing rivals Frank's and together with him stands above everyone else. She is never "off", although she rarely follows traditional phrasing. She places the notes exactly where she wants them to be. Or to borrow a phrase, she does it her way.
✌️😉
Angelina does take a song and brings out the emotion, meaning and makes you feel the the songs she performances. You seem to get her. She pulls out your soul. Thank you.
This what you call WOW
She # 1 in my book no words to to explain what you are hearing
In listening to your reaction commentary regarding Angelina’s ability to convey the emotional soul of the songs she sings…I agree completely…and this ability is so evident in almost every performance from 2014 to the present. For me I just quit thinking about her age and concentrated on the auditory stories she tells in every performance, some songs over and over and over again. Emotional content is never boring and Angelina’s performances are almost ALWAYS filled with the emotions of the “soul” of the song! Thanks for your reaction!
