In this video, even her outfit, shoes and red guitar were a tribute to Elvis. He wore leather outfit, leather boots and played a red guitar when he performed this song.
Check out the 1969 Elvis special. He wore a leather suit and used a red hollow guitar. The hair is Priscilla Presley's behive hairdo she wore in the 60s.
Elvis Presley and his producer Felton Jarvis cleverly covered this Mark James song in 1969, Elvis' last #1 hit in the US and #7 of his most successful songs. Felton Jarvis took the original arrangement completely and pushed the song with more speed and additional instruments (wind instruments, violin etc.) and a spectacular backing choir (in the studio version) and of course with Elvis Presley's voice. Pianist Rob Christie changed the musical arrangement and Angelina the vocal arrangement, but she didn't change the lyrics. Angelina changes the lyric structure, starting with the bridge and giving the song a different meaning. Once again many people hear and understand the song when Angelina tells the story. 💯 *AJ* 💯
Elvis would be so happy with Angelina sound she not only sang the song she made the story of the song pure clear has us all holding on to every word and sounds from her performance.
What a joy to see your reaction, and listen to your comments. it is obvious, you really know what you are talking about, and that you are not saying what you are, to please us insane AJ fans. I am going to be watching every single reaction you will be making on AJ in the future! Thank you for your reaction, and your honesty. AJ: Well, what can I say, that hasn't been said. She is on next level
I really appreciate the fact that you recognize that I’m going to be honest about what I see and hear and not just say what people want to hear. It mean a lot to me that you see that and would tell me. Thank you! 👏🎉🫶
She's 16. Signed with Republic Records at 14. The agreement the family made with Republic was that they would wait to introduce her into the "music business" until she was done with school, which i think she just finished, though I'm not positive. Rob Christie, who was the wonderful and Grammy winning pianist on this video is her mentor at Republic. She has stayed super busy and doing several covers and two more originals (totalling 5) as well as tons of tik toks that are breathtakingly stunning. She has some Instagram videos also. She is unique and magnificent to watch growing up. She is deeply humble and generous also, raising tons of money to help poor children around the world. Extraordinary young lady. She been in Norway all this month doing concerts and I believe she's in Japan now doing another concert. Amazing. You have missed several fabulous covers of Adele, as well as a cover of Billie Jean (yup ..Michael Jackson), and Yesterday by the Beatles that were brilliant. I'm sure you would enjoy them. Thanks for your reaction.
Let's not forget her masterful use of SILENCE in this arrangement and the subtle insert of bass guitar triplets half way through which emphasises the rising emotional tension of 'Here we go again ... ' R (Australia)
How do you describe her voice. It’s like nothing I’ve heard before. So amazing and she’s a legend already at 16. I can’t stop listening to this song. She just mesmerizes you with her voice. Omg.
Hi Jeff (hope I got your name right). I'm Danilo and I am 0ne of the many Angelina's Angels and I am from ROME Italy. First things first. She was born in Oslo on January 10th 2006 so in this video she's 16.You said that this is your 3rd encounter with Angelina. Well, if you don't mind me giving you a little word of advice, you should do a little homework and check her Playlist which counts almost 200 videos of her performances, interviews and more. Do that and you'll see your channel skyrocket. Do that and I'll be your next subscriber. I've already given you a thumbs up. PS. 2 days ago (July 7th 2022) I was in Kongsberg Norway to see and hear her live and it's been the day of my life. Ain't she lovely in the video but, believe me, in person she's even better. She's a Queen. I'll be checking on you. Bye.
HI Startle Studio's... So / Super Special Music Reaction!!! Emotionally Over the Top!!! Stunning Everything!!! Elvis would fallen off the Stage if he saw Ms. Jordan Perform this Song in his Honor... Well Done Here - Sir!!! Thank You / DD. Ps. "May The Emerald Pearl of Norway Sing for Eternity"
You said you were surprised by how good it was. Well forget about being surprised by anything she does. She is going to give you something surprising with every offering you hear of hers. She will do nothing but surprise you every time she puts something out. Get used to it.
Everyone thinks it's an Elvis cover when it's not. Elvis did a cover of the original. "Suspicious Minds" is a 1968 song written and first recorded by American songwriter Mark James. I Love AJs version so much more than the others.
Hair was a tribute to Priscilla. The guitar was just like the one Elvis was using on his rendition. Her clothes were like he wore for this song. The little girls, her cousins and her sister was to show her growth since she started singing. Great reaction to this Angel.
Hi Jeff Another mind blowing performance by Angelina is Its A mans World, James Brown. The version with the orchestra is good but the live version with guitar is world class
Most of her fanbase ( which is huge ) have heard every song she has ever sung ,which now should be close to 200 covers and original. Your description of her voice in this song was spot on. But only this song, by the time you have covered 15 of her songs you will see just how many different beautiful sounds she can put in just a short line of music . She is truly destined to one of the great artists of our time , enjoyed your interesting reaction. Thumbs up to you 👍
Just a heads up in advance. This one surprised me and blew me away. It's an amazing interpretation of a song that was pretty good to start with. Enjoy it!
@@StrateleStudios Sir, as AJ mentioned in her Christmas Special, she hurt one of her feet last year. Since then she is very cautious where she walks. In this shop, for example, lots of dirt comes in from the street and glass splinters from the chandleers could lay around on the floor. Elmar from Germany. Peace.
It makes me happy that someone of your stature and background is totally taken by Angelina... More or less mean's I'm not Crazy to love her has much as I do. Now that you've listen to the most current thing... I would highly recommend her debut on the world stage at Age 7 "Gloomey Sunday" (With English subtitles). When I first saw it, I didn't quite understand what I was listening to, my mind didn't allow me to comprehend the genius of the performance (it was just out of reach). But as Angelina continues to refine what is possible in my mind, I find I am more blown away by it over time. Age 7 and giving the world the Goosebumps .
@@StrateleStudios I would recommend watching all four of her NGT performances at the same time. Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/O2bX15tYFVk/w-d-xo.html It's one of the most amazing things I've seen on any talent show. It's only about 10 minutes long, and while there are no subtitles, the audio and video are both excellent. And it shows her winning the show at the end. Her prize equaled about $80K at that time, and she promply donated all of it to charity. That's just the kind of person she is.
@@StrateleStudios Hi! I suggest you go back to her singing a song made famous by Tom Jones, "I who have nothing". It was recorded in the Studio at Waldorf School, Oslo, which Angelina attended. It is one of about four recordings, but it is possibly the last one she did there. It shows just how much she understood music at that age. Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/w-d-xo.html
@@StrateleStudios I add my vote for Angelina's audition of Gloomy Sunday on Norske Talenter (Norway's Got Talent). I am aware of 3 Angelina videos that went viral. You've reviewed two of them: I Put A Spell On You and Bohemian Rhapsody. Angelina's Gloomy Sunday performance at age 7 is her first video to go viral. You get that one in and you'll have completed the "hat trick." Wouldn't hurt to brush up on your Billie Holiday beforehand if your memory needs refreshing.
If you have only seen 3 of her videos you do not need to wait for new material from her. There are dozens and dozens of videos available for review and reactions.
Puzzles both of us, how she produces that voice! Amazing! What i think it is, she can do that breathiness ON TOP of the powerful projected voice. Never heard anyone else able to do that, but there it is ... BTW, she was 16 in January 2022.
Hi there - yesterday i finally arrived in Sandefjord Norway now 1 day away from Angelinas last concert where i will meet many other Angels and of course my Granddaughter by heart on stage - so exciting - to the song: oh my Lord did you hear that Power and richeness and that bluesy undertone when she streches the lines - the gorgious Set, the hintes to Elvis and Pricilla - i think she tells the story from a little sad and excapting female position when Elvis has done the male position (everything will be ok one day) Angelina is right now the greatest of All time already period - i just wished to be 40 years younger about 6.3 feet tall handsome and go into the same school she goes - the guy or girl she will end up is so damn lucky.... but he has to be behaving himself because Angelina has millions of dads and granddads who will have their eyes on him or her and will cross oceans to enforce that behavier - Angelina has done her first regular concert July 1. and there are Fan Videos out there - pls do Suspicious Minds i think it is her last song and she got very emotional at the end - priceless to watch - highly recoment tishues - by the way i got her book "Mellom to hjerter" and i Translated it to German - oh man i had to fight tears - very hard - a book of a 9 year old girl so well and honest with the Story of the little girl her age she called Princess (she dont get her real name) - doing her school homework on a street in Teheran (i guess) while earning money with a bathroomwage to feet her siblings - a girl with a late mom and small brother Dead because they could not afford medical attention - this girl not begging but working during a cold rainy day with no shoes and injured feet - people passing her looking down with superstition. this is the Real Story from her diary at age 6 why Angelina gave her shoes to the girl - pls guys purchase her book and read it - it is outstanding stuff and we all can learn a lot - the wonderful pictures of Madame Zamany add also much to the storytelling too - you got to buy it belive me - cheers from Germany now Norway..
@@mrstlu4838 thank you dear Lady i am thinking on throwing a flower to her while everybody is ocupied with filming - do you think this is a propriat coming from an old guy?
@@jojow.2158 In the times we live in now, throwing things at a stage is not a wise move. Sorry. Tears and applause will have to do! ❤👣🎶 Weather forecast is good!
Thanks for the reaction. Angelina is an absolute genius in the music world. She was 16 performing this song. Every song she performs is at a level of excellence. 👍😊
She has 3 originals that you can see on TH-cam: "Shield", "Seventh Heaven", and her masterpiece "Million Miles" (If she doesn't get a Grammy for it, they should shot.)
SIMILARITIES of ELVIS' LIFE ON PURPOSE? 1) An Elvis song. 2) I hear the richness and depth of Lisa Maria's voice in this song, so weird, but cool. 3) And Pricilla's beehive hairdo. 4) And the black leather with guitar of Elvis in his comeback special. 5) And Elvis' piano room with a chandelier over it. 6) And Graceland a museum of old belongings like this room. And HOW MANY MORE SIMILARITIES are we MISSING? ANGELINA is AMAZING, she brought it! She's ONE IN A MILLION! She needs the right Agent to bring her into the mainstream.
I've listened to Ms Jordan sing this countless times and I'm still amazed at how phonomenal she is and the fact that Ms Jordan released it on my birthday made it even better lol
With this song, this video, we can hear Angelina maturing into her adult voice. The talent has always been there, but now she's not imitating anyone, trying out different styles. We now see her and hear her as herself, and it is glorious. Go back just two years to the black and white video for her ORIGINAL song Million Miles, and you'll see what I mean.
16 years old and a vocal and visually masterpiece ! Powerful, emotional and passionate performance ! Raspy, breathy , powerful and unique vibrato are so well blended to create a timbre that is warm and welcoming ! Her voice is like a beautiful hug that just makes you feel her emotion ! Her strength is her story telling ability that she exhibits throughout her vocals ! This cover was so different from the original that it takes the song to a whole new level ! The words really become more meaningful and Angelina makes you hold on to each phrase she sings ! It's so captivating ! Thank you for your heartfelt commentary as they are so much appreciated ! Keep posting and continue to enjoy Angelina's journey of joy and happiness that she brings out with every song ! 👍😊🇨🇦❤️
it would be unfair and not productive to compare or to judge Angelina in any way,,,,but if in this century any singer male or female is extra ordinary in its true meaning its by far only Angelina as a complete phenomenon or we might just say she is an angel among us humans
A breathtaking performance of Angelina Jordan. We are glad and proud of her and thank you for your wonderful reaction on Angelina’s latest and also one of the best choices and songs to cover. Best wishes from Norway🤍🤍🤍🙏✨✨✨
Great reaction. With your professional background, I think you'd really appreciate seeing and hearing Angelina rehearse with a full orchestra that was to perform at Quincy Jones' 80th Birthday Party Show. She performed her 3rd updated version(first was performing on the 'Rosie O'Donnell's Show' and the second was her acoustic version) of Sinatra's 'Fly Me To The Moon'. She owned that performance.
Angelina has the best voice control of any vocalist I’ve ever heard , they call her the Angel with a thousand different voices, Angelina 16 years old with this amazing performance, the young lady can sing absolutely anything!
I agree Christopher, she can sing anything. Now, almost anything I hear I think to myself, I would love to hear Angelina sing this. I have hundreds of suggestions for her.
Here is one from Angelina that will also knock your socks off , 'I'm a fool to want you", a Billy Holiday classic , that is just an unbelievable performance at merely 11 years old. No one is prepared for what she brings in this one!! Even if you do not post a reaction to it, do you self a favor and watch it you will not regret it I promise!!
Watch the Norwegian Talent show first, where this was sung by Angelina for the judges’s cut - a capella! All the singing contestants had to go in front of the judges (no audience) and sing a capella unless they played an instrument themselves. The producers put her last of everybody, which was nice of them, frankly! Looking forward to your next Angelina reaction.
This is a Masterpiece without question. Great comments about the guitar tie in, the guitar is a direct copy of the one Elvis used in his 68 comeback tour, her hair Pricillas, her leather jacket and pants, just as Elvis wore and the boots she had on... of course blue suede! She preforms always in bare feet to honor the shoeless girl she met at age 7 and vowed to remember her and all the shoeless children in the world, who she has already donated millions to. This young lady is a world class singer, the best imo, and a humanitarian extraordinaire.
@@103mrg when it shows her contemplating, in the section where she sings about an old friend stopping by, what is she wearing 🤔?It's a brief flash of her sitting on an old setee.
@@thomaslarsonyt4429 I already wrote that it's the trick of the lighting...... Go to the original video, full screen. Click the settings icon and change the playback speed to .5 At about :21, just before she pulls off the sheet from the piano, what do you see on her feet?
Angelina’ s voice and the piano come through crystal clear and with power from the first notes. The older of the children in white looks like Angelina’s very cute sister. One minor Elvis connection I have not heard mentioned is the pianist’s dark red outfit matching Elvis’ backup musicians in the ‘68 comeback performance.
Bottom line is: there aren't words to express where she takes us musically; her lyrical instincts are remarkable, you are right on target.. this child is gifted to interpret what she hears moving those who hear to levels of emotion that surprise and captivate us. I love this reaction as it was given with understanding and founded on musical knowledge not to mention it's part of your heart's thoughts and so honest... BRAVO to you and our Angel... PEACE!!
She just performed a song at the Kongsberg jazz festival called Mount Everest. Here she brought jer vocals to a new level. You got to react to that one.
I'm sure you're aware so I apologize if I'm repeating myself but she is now signed with Republic records and they are guiding her career and when she signed with Republic she did it on her own terms she has been designated as her top up and coming artists and she has an album coming out soon her performances when she was in Norway or stunning I hope you get a chance to see some of them there are several on TH-cam I appreciate your reactions I really do thank you for doing them
It is the same antique store 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
"That was really, really amazing." Sorry, I'm gonna have to disagree with you. I think it was really, really, really amazing! I very much enjoyed your reaction and analysis. The look on your face when she started singing was priceless. You are right about Angelina--there is no one else like her. You may already know this, but this song was written by and originally recorded by Mark James.
It would be wonderful to hear what he thinks of it, Jens. She's had many other artists comment on how much they like her performances already, including Queen and Adele.
@@9Ballr I´ve read some people say Adele has said she likes Angelina´s covers of her songs, but I´ve never heard or seen Adele actually say that. Do you know if there is "evidence" about that anywhere?
As was implied by the video she can take any old masterpiece and make it current and her own as a new masterpiece. She is a legend in the making. She has the ability to give us a Duende experience every time.
I highly recommend that you watch Angelina’s 2016 and 2022 renditions of “My Funny Valentine”. Both performances stand on their own as being outstanding. Angelina was ten years old in the 2016 performance and she was sixteen in the 2022 performance.
Such an unique masterful talent, she takes any brilliant song and takes it to another level, I simply can't believe how stunning this is. I really loved your reaction. Also a huge thanks to her team for making this the complete package.
Absolutely what I expected. She made this her own song and she did it beautifully. I noticed Juliet sitting there she is going to be as beautiful as Angelina one day. Elvis' version is great and it always was, and it still is one of my favorites. but Angelina's version is equally great and is definitely her own. When I first heard this song I loved it and put it at #3 on my playlist (Angelina Jordan Playlist by Terry M.), about midday I moved it up to #1. The main thing that changed my mind was the power in her voice. I'm not talking about loudness I'm talking about the power she has regardless of how loud or soft she sings. This is a quality that I haven't heard from anyone in my 82 years. This voice has become so unique that it is totally unmatched. Her phrasing in the last bridge is great. And she got Elvis’s ‘Oh Yea’ at the end of the song. The pianist is Rob Christie (3 Grammys), he is the head of the Republic Record department that is responsible for Angelina and other singers. The two small kids are her uncle Mike's kids, and the older girl is Angelina's sister. 🙂 Below is a list of my recommendations for doing reactions to Angelina Jordan. 1. For the initial shock you should start with ‘I Put A Spell On You’ She was 9 years old when she did this. The link for this song is - th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html 2. The next song you should react to is ‘My Funny Valentine’ from 2022. This will give you an understanding of where she is now. This link for this song is th-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/w-d-xo.html 3. To follow her growth react to the following songs in order: At age 6 - ‘I Who Have Nothing’ her first time in a studio - th-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/w-d-xo.html At age 7 - 8; Norway's Got Talent - th-cam.com/video/d3gSho9yf88/w-d-xo.html At age 8 ‘What A Difference A Day Makes’ -th-cam.com/video/ZSfgCIGd7k4/w-d-xo.html At age 10 ‘Feeling Good’ - th-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/w-d-xo.html At age 11 ‘I’m A Fool To Want You’ - th-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/w-d-xo.html She also did this during Norway’s Got Talent, but she did it A Capella. At age 12 There are two songs of note here: ‘Shield’ which is one of here originals - th-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/w-d-xo.html She was invited to perform at Quincy Jones’ 85th birthday in London she sang what is sort of her anthem (she has sung throughout the years many times). This is the rehearsal for the show but it is excellent, it is number two on my playlist. - th-cam.com/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/w-d-xo.html At Age 13 she performed two songs on America’s Got Talent - and one other song of note - ‘I Have Nothing’ is a tribute to Whitney Houston - th-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/w-d-xo.html On AGT ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ for which she got the Golden Buzzer - th-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/w-d-xo.html On AGT ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’ in the finals - th-cam.com/video/4XOMskgN8w4/w-d-xo.html - but she didn’t win. A lot of people are upset about that, but I think it’s the best thing that happened for her. At age 16 she has two new covers. The newest and the best is an Elvis cover ‘Suspicious Minds’ - th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html The other is ‘My Funny Valentine - th-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/w-d-xo.html?list=PLkTtcQqiwrwtM3ZJawb33E2afxrVceYvd She has done several Adel covers and one other song of note - ‘Million Miles’ - th-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/w-d-xo.html - this is an original that she wrote in honor of her grandfather after he passed away. It is also the first song released under her contract with Republic Records. Rusty Shackelford has a TH-cam playlist that includes all of her videos, including TikTok and Instagram. I have a playlist of currently 99 of her videos that have received over 60,000 views (Angelina Jordan Playlist by Terry M.)
Angelina only singing without shoes, but outside from stage she is with shoes...when she was 6 years old , she met the young girl about the same age, who didn't have a shoes...Angelina gave her shoes to that girl and said she will never sing with shoes on any stage, until every child in the world will have shoes.
lovely ,heartfelt reaction. Thanks.
One of the best reactions that I've seen of someone seeing a more grown up Angelina!
@@xerezjg52 Thanks! 😊🫶
In this video, even her outfit, shoes and red guitar were a tribute to Elvis. He wore leather outfit, leather boots and played a red guitar when he performed this song.

Oh my god! Crazy love this lady. Thank you much for sharing. This video is phenomenal, as is her singing!
In the first 30 seconds or so I got really emotional. OMG that was beautiful
I do have to add that the short piano piece at the end moved me as much as her singing. But personally, I love the piano.
Wonderful insightful reaction to a masterpiece of Angelina’s. Thank you!
Thank you Louise! 😊😊😊🫶
Love it you looked like a proud Papa!!!!! She is growing into a beautiful 16 yr old young lady owning her talent like no other Cheers
You nailed it ☺️☺️☺️
YOUNG LEGEND
Really enjoyed your reaction to Angelina Jordan video.
Thank you Stephanie! 😊😊😊🫶
Her outfit is one that Presley wore performing that song.... The red guitar as well
She's 16 a and amazing.
If I'm not mistaken that was his guitar and the Priscilla hairdo, the black leather outfit the whole ambiance of the video.

She is just 16.years old now..👌😊💟
Very lucky and fortunate Republic Records.
We would all love to see you do more Angelina Jordan Videos, you have so many to do. Thanks for this reaction.
Let's not forget her masterful use of SILENCE in this arrangement and the subtle insert of bass guitar triplets half way through which emphasises the rising emotional tension of 'Here we go again ... ' R (Australia)
Your analysis is brilant!!!!
Bravo maestro!!!!
Thank you Luto! 😊😊😊🫶
That is the red guitar and microphone that Elvis had in his “Comeback” tour.

She was born in Oslo on January 10th 2006 so in this video she's 16.You said that this is your 3rd encounter with Angelina. Well, if you don't mind me giving you a little word of advice, you should do a little homework and check her Playlist which counts almost 200 videos of her performances, interviews and more. Do that and you'll see your channel skyrocket. Do that and I'll be your next subscriber. I've already given you a thumbs up.

She's a Queen. I'll be checking on you. Bye.
angelina turns 16 and one-half tomorrow...great analysis
You really must experience My Funny Valintine released on Feb 14, 2022 [4K] Angelina Jordan (16) - My Funny Valentine - IGTV - Feb. 14, 2022 - TH-cam
she is systemically taking on the greatest voices and songs of the second half of the 20th c.
She's 16 years old in this video.
She was 7 when she won Norway's Got Talent
HI Startle Studio's... So / Super Special Music Reaction!!! Emotionally Over the Top!!! Stunning Everything!!! Elvis would fallen off the Stage if he saw Ms. Jordan Perform this Song in his Honor... Well Done Here - Sir!!! Thank You / DD. Ps. "May The Emerald Pearl of Norway Sing for Eternity"
At 15 she did TikTok versions of "Love is a game," "Sign of the times," "Endless love," etc..(guess I could have just said check our her TikToks).
Still gives me shivers, goosebumps and tears even two months later.
This is such a wonderful rendition. So beautifully done!
You said you were surprised by how good it was. Well forget about being surprised by anything she does. She is going to give you something surprising with every offering you hear of hers. She will do nothing but surprise you every time she puts something out. Get used to it.
Everyone thinks it's an Elvis cover when it's not. Elvis did a cover of the original. "Suspicious Minds" is a 1968 song written and first recorded by American songwriter Mark James. I Love AJs version so much more than the others.
Hair was a tribute to Priscilla. The guitar was just like the one Elvis was using on his rendition. Her clothes were like he wore for this song. The little girls, her cousins and her sister was to show her growth since she started singing. Great reaction to this Angel.
Every single time she surprises us. Love you Angelina 🌈🌈🌈
I love it
Hi Jeff Another mind blowing performance by Angelina is Its A mans World, James Brown. The version with the orchestra is good but the live version with guitar is world class
👏👏👏🫶
16 years old and this song you got new songs to go over almost 200 song I have 150 immaculate never one singer #1 on my top 10
THIS is my favorite so far! She just puts her touch on anything she does. Thanks for sharing 😊
Angelina has many more surprises for you (both past and future). Enjoy the journey. More Angelina please!
Her understanding of music for an 16 y.o. is outstanding
Most of her fanbase ( which is huge ) have heard every song she has ever sung ,which now should be close to 200 covers and original. Your description of her voice in this song was spot on. But only this song, by the time you have covered 15 of her songs you will see just how many different beautiful sounds she can put in just a short line of music . She is truly destined to one of the great artists of our time , enjoyed your interesting reaction. Thumbs up to you 👍
Just a heads up in advance. This one surprised me and blew me away. It's an amazing interpretation of a song that was pretty good to start with. Enjoy it!
Oh I did…just wait till you see my reaction. I was practically tongue tied. 🤯
@@StrateleStudios Sir, as AJ mentioned in her Christmas Special, she hurt one of her feet last year. Since then she is very cautious where she walks. In this shop, for example, lots of dirt comes in from the street and glass splinters from the chandleers could lay around on the floor. Elmar from Germany. Peace.
An "old pro" at 16, with literally thirteen years of study, crafting, learning, honing and mastering her skills behind her!
Great reaction to Angelina so look forward to more 👍👍👍
Thanks Douglas! 😊😊😊
It makes me happy that someone of your stature and background is totally taken by Angelina... More or less mean's I'm not Crazy to love her has much as I do.
Now that you've listen to the most current thing... I would highly recommend her debut on the world stage at Age 7 "Gloomey Sunday" (With English subtitles). When I first saw it, I didn't quite understand what I was listening to, my mind didn't allow me to comprehend the genius of the performance (it was just out of reach). But as Angelina continues to refine what is possible in my mind, I find I am more blown away by it over time. Age 7 and giving the world the Goosebumps .
Ya, I was thinking of going all the way back to her first performance! Thank you!
@@StrateleStudios I would recommend watching all four of her NGT performances at the same time. Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/O2bX15tYFVk/w-d-xo.html It's one of the most amazing things I've seen on any talent show. It's only about 10 minutes long, and while there are no subtitles, the audio and video are both excellent. And it shows her winning the show at the end. Her prize equaled about $80K at that time, and she promply donated all of it to charity. That's just the kind of person she is.
@@StrateleStudios Hi! I suggest you go back to her singing a song made famous by Tom Jones, "I who have nothing". It was recorded in the Studio at Waldorf School, Oslo, which Angelina attended. It is one of about four recordings, but it is possibly the last one she did there. It shows just how much she understood music at that age. Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/w-d-xo.html
@@StrateleStudios I add my vote for Angelina's audition of Gloomy Sunday on Norske Talenter (Norway's Got Talent). I am aware of 3 Angelina videos that went viral. You've reviewed two of them: I Put A Spell On You and Bohemian Rhapsody. Angelina's Gloomy Sunday performance at age 7 is her first video to go viral. You get that one in and you'll have completed the "hat trick." Wouldn't hurt to brush up on your Billie Holiday beforehand if your memory needs refreshing.
The all black leather outfit and red guitar were a hat tip to the Elvis Comeback Tour. And I think the beehive hairdo was a hat tip to Pricilla. 🤙🏻
YES YES YES! Nailed it!
Also, when they showed her sitting she had blue suede boots
@@glennelfmann3143 Sorry, but you were fooled by the lighting and shadows. She wasn't wearing blue suede boots.
Angelina Jordan Astar, for me she is the best singer of the last 50 years. Her voice touches my heart and cleanses my soul.
If you have only seen 3 of her videos you do not need to wait for new material from her. There are dozens and dozens of videos available for review and reactions.
Puzzles both of us, how she produces that voice! Amazing! What i think it is, she can do that breathiness ON TOP of the powerful projected voice. Never heard anyone else able to do that, but there it is ...
BTW, she was 16 in January 2022.
And this at 16 years old. She will become one of the greatest female singers of all times
AJ resonates the innermost depths of our minds in each performance.
She’s 16. IMO she is the best vocalist in the world.
Hi there - yesterday i finally arrived in Sandefjord Norway now 1 day away from Angelinas last concert where i will meet many other Angels and of course my Granddaughter by heart on stage - so exciting - to the song: oh my Lord did you hear that Power and richeness and that bluesy undertone when she streches the lines - the gorgious Set, the hintes to Elvis and Pricilla - i think she tells the story from a little sad and excapting female position when Elvis has done the male position (everything will be ok one day) Angelina is right now the greatest of All time already period - i just wished to be 40 years younger about 6.3 feet tall handsome and go into the same school she goes - the guy or girl she will end up is so damn lucky.... but he has to be behaving himself because Angelina has millions of dads and granddads who will have their eyes on him or her and will cross oceans to enforce that behavier - Angelina has done her first regular concert July 1. and there are Fan Videos out there - pls do Suspicious Minds i think it is her last song and she got very emotional at the end - priceless to watch - highly recoment tishues - by the way i got her book "Mellom to hjerter" and i Translated it to German - oh man i had to fight tears - very hard - a book of a 9 year old girl so well and honest with the Story of the little girl her age she called Princess (she dont get her real name) - doing her school homework on a street in Teheran (i guess) while earning money with a bathroomwage to feet her siblings - a girl with a late mom and small brother Dead because they could not afford medical attention - this girl not begging but working during a cold rainy day with no shoes and injured feet - people passing her looking down with superstition. this is the Real Story from her diary at age 6 why Angelina gave her shoes to the girl - pls guys purchase her book and read it - it is outstanding stuff and we all can learn a lot - the wonderful pictures of Madame Zamany add also much to the storytelling too - you got to buy it belive me - cheers from Germany now Norway..
Lol, kay that got close to creepy. But I do understand. :D
Wishing you a very happy evening tomorrow 😇
@@mrstlu4838 thank you dear Lady i am thinking on throwing a flower to her while everybody is ocupied with filming - do you think this is a propriat coming from an old guy?
@@jojow.2158 In the times we live in now, throwing things at a stage is not a wise move. Sorry. Tears and applause will have to do! ❤👣🎶 Weather forecast is good!
New subscriber here. I really enjoy your take on Angelina. I think you'd be impressed by her 2022 version of my funny Valentine
Thank you Denning! 😊
This is brand new so she is 16 years old. She turns 17 in the spring next year in 2023. She's on consert tour in Norway now 👍 Love from Norway 🇳🇴
Wow Wow Wow! Amazing!
January 10 ( I googled it to make sure. ;) )
@@jonathanfielding7387 Never knew I had a birthday in Spring! 😉🥳
I am in and waiting!!!!
Didn't get a chance to say thank you Jeff before the chat closed... So thank you Jeff, for a real great reaction. 😀
Thank you my friend! 😊😊😊
Thanks for the reaction.
Angelina is an absolute genius in the music world. She was 16 performing this song. Every song she performs is at a level of excellence. 👍😊
She turned 16 in January ... She NEVER disappoints 🥰 Her Tour 2022 in NORWAY Videos Up are FABULOUS!
That minimalist guitar so fits the song
She has 3 originals that you can see on TH-cam: "Shield", "Seventh Heaven", and her masterpiece "Million Miles" (If she doesn't get a Grammy for it, they should shot.)
SIMILARITIES of ELVIS' LIFE ON PURPOSE?
1) An Elvis song. 2) I hear the richness and depth of Lisa Maria's voice in this song, so weird, but cool. 3) And Pricilla's beehive hairdo. 4) And the black leather with guitar of Elvis in his comeback special. 5) And Elvis' piano room with a chandelier over it. 6) And Graceland a museum of old belongings like this room.
And HOW MANY MORE SIMILARITIES are we MISSING?
ANGELINA is AMAZING, she brought it! She's ONE IN A MILLION!
She needs the right Agent to bring her into the mainstream.
Angelina always pays tribute to the artist she's inspired by. It's a characteristic of hers. And this gets better every time you hear it 😎
What a Beautiful Voice..... God has Blessed this girl .....
I've listened to Ms Jordan sing this countless times and I'm still amazed at how phonomenal she is and the fact that Ms Jordan released it on my birthday made it even better lol
With this song, this video, we can hear Angelina maturing into her adult voice. The talent has always been there, but now she's not imitating anyone, trying out different styles. We now see her and hear her as herself, and it is glorious. Go back just two years to the black and white video for her ORIGINAL song Million Miles, and you'll see what I mean.
Well said!
16 years old and a vocal and visually masterpiece ! Powerful, emotional and passionate performance ! Raspy, breathy , powerful and unique vibrato are so well blended to create a timbre that is warm and welcoming ! Her voice is like a beautiful hug that just makes you feel her emotion ! Her strength is her story telling ability that she exhibits throughout her vocals ! This cover was so different from the original that it takes the song to a whole new level ! The words really become more meaningful and Angelina makes you hold on to each phrase she sings ! It's so captivating ! Thank you for your heartfelt commentary as they are so much appreciated ! Keep posting and continue to enjoy Angelina's journey of joy and happiness that she brings out with every song ! 👍😊🇨🇦❤️
The visual masterpiece is produced by her grandma, Mery Zamani.
Thank you for a wonderful reaction! This is a masterpiece from her! You got drawn into her singing, so emotional. That voice!!!!!💫🤩❤️🙏
Thank you Anette! I was totally floored by this!
@@StrateleStudios ❤️☺️
Thanks for the reaction!
it would be unfair and not productive to compare or to judge Angelina in any way,,,,but if in this century any singer male or female is extra ordinary in its true meaning its by far only Angelina as a complete phenomenon or we might just say she is an angel among us humans
A breathtaking performance of Angelina Jordan. We are glad and proud of her and thank you for your wonderful reaction on Angelina’s latest and also one of the best choices and songs to cover. Best wishes from Norway🤍🤍🤍🙏✨✨✨
Great reaction. With your professional background, I think you'd really appreciate seeing and hearing Angelina rehearse with a full orchestra that was to perform at Quincy Jones' 80th Birthday Party Show. She performed her 3rd updated version(first was performing on the 'Rosie O'Donnell's Show' and the second was her acoustic version) of Sinatra's 'Fly Me To The Moon'. She owned that performance.
Oh yes I’d love to see that! 😅👏👏👏
@@StrateleStudios th-cam.com/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1
Angelina’s magic. She is only 16 and sings like a true artist. She special and we are fortunate to hear an artist like Angelina. No one like her.
Angelina has the best voice control of any vocalist I’ve ever heard , they call her the Angel with a thousand different voices, Angelina 16 years old with this amazing performance, the young lady can sing absolutely anything!
I agree Christopher, she can sing anything. Now, almost anything I hear I think to myself, I would love to hear Angelina sing this. I have hundreds of suggestions for her.
thank you for your comprehensive reaction . this performance stands on its own.
Thank you Dave!
Here is one from Angelina that will also knock your socks off , 'I'm a fool to want you", a Billy Holiday classic , that is just an unbelievable performance at merely 11 years old. No one is prepared for what she brings in this one!! Even if you do not post a reaction to it, do you self a favor and watch it you will not regret it I promise!!
Watch the Norwegian Talent show first, where this was sung by Angelina for the judges’s cut - a capella! All the singing contestants had to go in front of the judges (no audience) and sing a capella unless they played an instrument themselves. The producers put her last of everybody, which was nice of them, frankly! Looking forward to your next Angelina reaction.
I’m always blown away by her 7 year old acapella performance.
@@Pete00000 She was 8 at the time.
This is a Masterpiece without question. Great comments about the guitar tie in, the guitar is a direct copy of the one Elvis used in his 68 comeback tour, her hair Pricillas, her leather jacket and pants, just as Elvis wore and the boots she had on... of course blue suede! She preforms always in bare feet to honor the shoeless girl she met at age 7 and vowed to remember her and all the shoeless children in the world, who she has already donated millions to. This young lady is a world class singer, the best imo, and a humanitarian extraordinaire.
thomas There were no blue suede boots in the video. Your eyes were fooled by the light and shadows.
@@103mrg when it shows her contemplating, in the section where she sings about an old friend stopping by, what is she wearing 🤔?It's a brief flash of her sitting on an old setee.
@@thomaslarsonyt4429 I already wrote that it's the trick of the lighting...... Go to the original video, full screen. Click the settings icon and change the playback speed to .5
At about :21, just before she pulls off the sheet from the piano, what do you see on her feet?
@@103mrg about halfway thru, Angelina is sitting on a bench with one leg up. Look at her front foot. A Blue Suede shoe.
@@gumimat1 Please read my previous comments to Thomas, then get back to me.
Angelina’ s voice and the piano come through crystal clear and with power from the first notes. The older of the children in white looks like Angelina’s very cute sister. One minor Elvis connection I have not heard mentioned is the pianist’s dark red outfit matching Elvis’ backup musicians in the ‘68 comeback performance.
Yes, the older girl in white is Angelina's younger sister, Juliette. The two younger ones are her cousins.
@@9Ballr Baby is Aurora, toddler Athena, strong theme going there.
@@mrstlu4838 Thanks!
Merys four granddaughters in one video, and they are all beautiful.
I think this is a Masterpiece. Her future is hers to write and hope she continues to share her Artistry with the world
Bottom line is: there aren't words to express where she takes us musically; her lyrical instincts are remarkable, you are right on target.. this child is gifted to interpret what she hears moving those who hear to levels of emotion that surprise and captivate us. I love this reaction as it was given with understanding and founded on musical knowledge not to mention it's part of your heart's thoughts and so honest... BRAVO to you and our Angel... PEACE!!
Thank you so much Arlene! 🫶
@@StrateleStudiosFrom my heart, who appreciates someone who dives into music, and basks in enjoyment... You truly ROCK 😉
@@Arlene_G 🤗🤗🤗
She just performed a song at the Kongsberg jazz festival called Mount Everest. Here she brought jer vocals to a new level. You got to react to that one.
16.5 years old
Great reaction! Many treasures await you with Angelina!
I'm sure you're aware so I apologize if I'm repeating myself but she is now signed with Republic records and they are guiding her career and when she signed with Republic she did it on her own terms she has been designated as her top up and coming artists and she has an album coming out soon her performances when she was in Norway or stunning I hope you get a chance to see some of them there are several on TH-cam I appreciate your reactions I really do thank you for doing them
What a beautiful tribute to the King. Mesmerizing.
It is the same antique store 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
"That was really, really amazing." Sorry, I'm gonna have to disagree with you. I think it was really, really, really amazing! I very much enjoyed your reaction and analysis. The look on your face when she started singing was priceless. You are right about Angelina--there is no one else like her. You may already know this, but this song was written by and originally recorded by Mark James.
😂🤣😂 👏👏👏🫶
It would be wonderful to hear what he thinks of it, Jens. She's had many other artists comment on how much they like her performances already, including Queen and Adele.
@@9Ballr I´ve read some people say Adele has said she likes Angelina´s covers of her songs, but I´ve never heard or seen Adele actually say that. Do you know if there is "evidence" about that anywhere?
Thanks for your insightful analysis and reaction.
Consummate artist plays the part sings the part, astonishing
As was implied by the video she can take any old masterpiece and make it current and her own as a new masterpiece. She is a legend in the making. She has the ability to give us a Duende experience every time.
I highly recommend that you watch Angelina’s 2016 and 2022 renditions of “My Funny Valentine”. Both performances stand on their own as being outstanding. Angelina was ten years old in the 2016 performance and she was sixteen in the 2022 performance.
Such an unique masterful talent, she takes any brilliant song and takes it to another level, I simply can't believe how stunning this is. I really loved your reaction. Also a huge thanks to her team for making this the complete package.
Absolutely what I expected. She made this her own song and she did it beautifully. I noticed Juliet sitting there she is going to be as beautiful as Angelina one day.
Elvis' version is great and it always was, and it still is one of my favorites. but Angelina's version is equally great and is definitely her own.
When I first heard this song I loved it and put it at #3 on my playlist (Angelina Jordan Playlist by Terry M.), about midday I moved it up to #1. The main thing that changed my mind was the power in her voice. I'm not talking about loudness I'm talking about the power she has regardless of how loud or soft she sings. This is a quality that I haven't heard from anyone in my 82 years. This voice has become so unique that it is totally unmatched.
Her phrasing in the last bridge is great. And she got Elvis’s ‘Oh Yea’ at the end of the song.
The pianist is Rob Christie (3 Grammys), he is the head of the Republic Record department that is responsible for Angelina and other singers.
The two small kids are her uncle Mike's kids, and the older girl is Angelina's sister.
🙂
Below is a list of my recommendations for doing reactions to Angelina Jordan.
1. For the initial shock you should start with ‘I Put A Spell On You’ She was 9 years old when she did this. The link for this song is - th-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/w-d-xo.html
2. The next song you should react to is ‘My Funny Valentine’ from 2022. This will give you an understanding of where she is now. This link for this song is th-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/w-d-xo.html
3. To follow her growth react to the following songs in order:
At age 6 - ‘I Who Have Nothing’ her first time in a studio - th-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/w-d-xo.html
At age 7 - 8; Norway's Got Talent - th-cam.com/video/d3gSho9yf88/w-d-xo.html
At age 8 ‘What A Difference A Day Makes’ -th-cam.com/video/ZSfgCIGd7k4/w-d-xo.html
At age 10 ‘Feeling Good’ - th-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/w-d-xo.html
At age 11 ‘I’m A Fool To Want You’ - th-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/w-d-xo.html She also did this during Norway’s Got Talent, but she did it A Capella.
At age 12 There are two songs of note here:
‘Shield’ which is one of here originals - th-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/w-d-xo.html
She was invited to perform at Quincy Jones’ 85th birthday in London she sang what is sort of her anthem (she has sung throughout the years many times). This is the rehearsal for the show but it is excellent, it is number two on my playlist. - th-cam.com/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/w-d-xo.html
At Age 13 she performed two songs on America’s Got Talent - and one other song of note -
‘I Have Nothing’ is a tribute to Whitney Houston - th-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/w-d-xo.html
On AGT ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ for which she got the Golden Buzzer - th-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/w-d-xo.html
On AGT ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’ in the finals - th-cam.com/video/4XOMskgN8w4/w-d-xo.html - but she didn’t win. A lot of people are upset about that, but I think it’s the best thing that happened for her.
At age 16 she has two new covers.
The newest and the best is an Elvis cover ‘Suspicious Minds’ - th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html
The other is ‘My Funny Valentine - th-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/w-d-xo.html?list=PLkTtcQqiwrwtM3ZJawb33E2afxrVceYvd
She has done several Adel covers and one other song of note - ‘Million Miles’ - th-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/w-d-xo.html - this is an original that she wrote in honor of her grandfather after he passed away. It is also the first song released under her contract with Republic Records.
Rusty Shackelford has a TH-cam playlist that includes all of her videos, including TikTok and Instagram. I have a playlist of currently 99 of her videos that have received over 60,000 views (Angelina Jordan Playlist by Terry M.)
I really liked this song slowed down like this. It emphasizes the lyrics more and it felt more emotional to me. Great choices on her part!
Angelina only singing without shoes, but outside from stage she is with shoes...when she was 6 years old , she met the young girl about the same age, who didn't have a shoes...Angelina gave her shoes to that girl and said she will never sing with shoes on any stage, until every child in the world will have shoes.
