Towards the end of your reaction, McLboyd, you make an wonderful and interesting comment. You say that to you there are moments where Angelina seems to be like a little awkward - when looking at the guitarist, Egil Clausen. You say, maybe it’s just you - and that you’re imagining it. But it is there! And WHAT is it? What is she seeing? I’d like to call it - Mankind. If, as she has said, that when she sings she enters another world - as if she is looking out from that world of ‘heaven’, then she is looking at Mankind when she looks at the Egil - and us. Another thought: she often waves us goodbye at the end of a song. She seems to be saying, I’m sorry to be leaving you … that, we have to leave this world I’m in … the one I’ve pulled you into. Jim Donaldson comments below - After hearing this song, I am now convinced that AJ does not function mentally like most people. Her innate musical confidence permits her to naturally interpret her music in a way that seems so obvious to her. It's almost like some of the great composers of the past - who would have the complete symphony in their heads before they began writing. (Mozart and Liszt, eg.) … In other words, the closer you look the better she gets. All the best - AJ’s World - to you all.
ABSOLUTE LOVE.... ANGELINA JORDAN ASTAR .....A SHINING 🌟 STAR.... LITERALLY..A SHINING STAR IN THE SKY...VERY HUMBLE N RESPECTFUL YOUNG LADY...I ABSOLUTELY LOVE AND RESPECT ANGELINA JORDAN ASTAR AND HER ENTIRE FAMILY ✌🏼❤️🤗 PEACE LOVE HAPPINESS 🇺🇸🦅🌎🇳🇮🌹
Angelina är en fröjd att lyssna på. Sättet som hon sjunger på, är för mig magiskt, sättet hur hon vrider orden i skala... wow.! Jag brukar sjunga ibland men Jag är inte duktig på att sjunga . Angelina är en av mina inspirations källar och har så varit sedan hon sjöng Queen. Det händer lite lustiga saker här på TH-cam ;) och ja, jag vet inte riktigt vad jag ska säga. / Hjärtliga hälsningar Mats
Superstar now...a mega superstar as she ages and her voice, breathiness, and control grows even more....like young Elvis ..its almost unfair to all other artists present and future...simply awesome vocalist she is and will be...
She got that very special thing in her voice only a few got . And not only that , I think it takes a musical genius to at that age hear the instrumental part of music and translate it into a voice that sounds so lived true and bluesy as hers . Every song she does is well thought true and transmitted into her own . Just amazing ❤️ I feel when I hear her , it's like listening back in time hearing those great songs from 40 , 50 , 60 + years ago and even I wasn't born yet and regret not been part of that era to Experiance it , we can now true Angelina ! ❣️❣️❣️
I’ve heard this song all my life and never liked it, until now. Her voice is magical. Her voodoo voice has transformed several other songs for me as well. I appreciate her ability more than I can say.
I can't help but feel privileged to be able to watch her develop and demonstrate her incredible talents. Quite possibly will become a generational superstar.
Egil Clausen is the one on guitar. He started playing with her just after she won Norway got talent. He's been a very important person until she moved to Usa. There is a video where Alan Papier interviews Egil and another interview wit Ivan Mendez who played with her in L.A.
I agree with Andy. The two (relatively) recent videos with Alan Papier are the main source of some of the first hand information that we know about Angelina. They’re about twenty minutes each but they are fascinating. Listening to them gives you a whole new understanding about Angelina and those of her inner circle. We often speculate about what is going through the minds of her accompanists. In these two videos, we hear of their experiences directly from them. Nice reaction Mr LBoyd. 👍
@@andyschnell58 I agree, Andy. Both of the Egil and Ivan interviews give an inside perspective of how their videos came about and will give reactors an even greater appreciation of Angelina's talents. The sessions were never preplanned. They would discuss songs, choose one, take a few minutes for Angelina to download the lyrics and for the guitarist to learn the chords, turn the camera on and record the song. Both Egil and Ivan said the uploads were usually the first takes, and if 2nd or rarely 3rd takes it was because of mistakes by the guitarist. She would tell them to just follow her for the rhythm and pace. It is mind-blowing that Angelina can convey so much emotion in a song while scrolling and reading the lyrics. I believe Egil is intently watching Angelina so he can match her timing. She slowed down the pace toward the end of this one and changes pace throughout many of her recordings.
Understand from an interview with the guitarrist that they just started playing a song sometimes without practice and someone recorded it. You can see that she needed to read the lyrics. I think that she was looking at him to see if he had understood where she was taking the song. Both Eigil Clausen and Ivan Mendez said exactly the same: nothing was ever planned when they came. I'm always amazed when I hear her voice like in this cover. No filters, nothing. You can hear her beautiful raw voice. She is incredible !🥰
can't believe this is the same girl who did How Great Thou Art. I gotta say this is now one of my favorites. She improvised in so many instances to help turn this performance into something so beautiful, and I listened to this song many times growing up in the 80s. I listened to this performance and literally got overwhelmed with all the memories. Her cover is magical.
"I gotta say this is now one of my favorites." It has been mine since the first day I heard it. One of the most beautiful songs ever made. And Angelina is doing such an incredible, soft version of it. Love it till the end of time.
@@sarlina1 In my top 5 definitely. Beautiful, crazy soulful. Angelina chose the songs wisely back then and made those songs sound fresh like morning dew. Not so sure about her latest picks to cover though.
@@MrRonkard Agree. Those choices back then, were so delicate, so perfect for her voice. Also her choices that coming year, at 12, and up to her participation at AGT. I really hope she will be choosing some classics to cover again, which suit her now more developed voice perfectly. The voice she had at 11-12 years old, and in this song here, was so special (she has always been special, but still..), and we will not hear that exact same voice again, due to the voice changes from puberty. She is developing just fine of course, but we can all hear a slight change in her voice, and her song choices will be very important for her going forward.
A most remarkable thing about Angelina is that she never gets in a hurry and is totally fearless and mindful about the gaps of silence that result. They become part of the impact in the performance.
It is very remarkable. I don't know how she was trained for this or if it's instinctive but I have never seen an artist that seems to enjoy the power of the silence. When you watch the AGT videos they pan the audience for what seems like an eternity and she has them in the palm of her hands . You could hear a pin drop. Incredible.
Beautiful version..Angelina is so young and sweet As a number one fan..having heard all versions of this lovely song..I in all honesty feel Roberta flack nailed it.. I agree I sensed an unease in her demeanour..possibly a self awareness of the intimacy this song conveys..love guitar music..but know personally it creates an even more intimate atmostsphere..possibly Angelina felt this with her unique sensitivity and held back..just a thought..still number one fan..can't put lived in voice like Roberta on this young beautiful artist...excited to hear her vocals all day long...
Hola, que buena reaccion, que hermosa cancion y lo de Angelina es realmente especial, lo canta con esa dulzura que parece una cancion de cuna, que hasta al bebe mas enojado harian tranquilizar, es como terapeutico, no te parece ??? con respecto a la incomodidad, senti algo parecido, pero tambien pense que era cosa mia, pero mi tranquilidad pasa por su familia que la cuidan mucho y abran visto el video muchas veces o quizas estaban en ese momento, me pasa con otros artistas tambien que al cantar juntos o interactuar con el musico dan esa sensacio, te agradezco mucho por esta reaccion y por cuidarla al comentarlo, un abrazo y saludos desde Argentina...
After hearing this song, I am now convinced that AJ does not function mentally like most people. Her innate musical confidence permits her to naturally interpret her music in a way that seems so obvious to her. It's almost like some of the great composers of the past - who would have the complete symphony in their heads before they began writing. AJ somehow works out the interpretation prior to actually singing a song. Even (as in this case) she needs to refer to her customized script, there is no script that can produce the perfection (that) she routinely accomplishes. The more one looks the more one realizes just how skilled she is. New realizations into her talents are experienced on every recording and to some extent, I suppose, there would be insights into every artist once we look a little closer, but more often than not, these closer looks expose flaws as we drill down into their songs. Whereas, the actual challenge with listening to AJ is to NOT miss the subtle nuances that make her songs extraordinary. In other words, the closer you look the better she gets.
OMG! How did I miss this one? I thought I had listened to all of her covers, I missed this one. This was absolutely fantastic. A wonderful example of how AJ can hypnotize with the purity of her voice. I got to go listen to this on her Channel.
So heartfelt from a little girl. She must have a movie in her, to get that feelings. I just think he was just as moved as us. Listen to the interview Alan Papier has with him, and the other guitarist Mendez. You can learn a lot about them
The thing I really like about her performance here is that she showcases the fact that her gentle lilts add wonderful texture to the song, rather than those annoying runs that so many singers think are cool. Hers are never contrived.
WOW .. just WOW .. she is truly amazing ... what a future she has ... I found you from tom And Nova .. now you show me this .. I can Imagine Nova doing a video for her...
I heard the original of this every morning during basic training in 1973. I loved it then. Now with Miss Jordan adding her magic I love it all over again. Could you do some Leonid & Friends please?
Your observation is correct. He was looking at her to gave support because she sang some of the lines in the wrong order. That's why you got that look and grin between them at the end like they knew something.
Just Egil Clausen on guitar and Angelina with that beautiful velvet voice you just can’t beet it and no Angelina was definitely not uncomfortable with Egil they have worked together for years and have some really fun times together he is a good friend of the family and she’s always comfortable with him you saw something I definitely didn’t see because it wasn’t there Love 💕 from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴👼👼👸🏻👸🏻👏👏💕🦶🦶👍🥰👋
Hey! He is cool. They interacted a lot good vibes. He was totally blown away. A lot on Utube about it. This was first time run amazing she kept melody that long. Listen to react to holding out for you. She was only ten. Just now leaked out.
I thought you would be mine and you would love me till my last breath, now you've left me to pick up all the pieces. You broke me, but you will never see me fall, nor take away my shine
The reason she was uncomfortable with the guy playing the guitar was because he failed to keep to her tempo. Don't know if I've used correct word. But she's a perfectionists
Another great choice of song. Here she puts so much emotion into this rendition. The lyrics start quite innocently, then they suddenly become very adult! For an 11 year old to be singing this can be a little awkward, especially as it is probably her grandma that is recording it! The shy, embarrassed look at the end is likely to be a response to the look on her grandma's face.
Wonderful reaction MrLboyd....Yes it was Egil on guitar...on the funny side of Angelina, she and /egil played a lot of jokes on each other, seems like Angelina always won....Thumbs up to ALL the great comments below. : )
Her guitarist is Egil Clausen. He started working with Angelina soon after she won NGT. The way they worked: the family would call him to come over. Angelina would say, for instance, “ Do you know the song The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face? I heard it recently and would like to try it.” He would say yes. So he would start and she would come in, frequently slowing him down, holding notes, throwing in runs, keeping her own beat steady against his. They recorded everything. Hardly ever more than two takes, many first takes was all it took before they moved onto another song. I think what you are seeing is him watching her closely for clues. Possibly this is a first take meaning the first time singing this song together. Quiet remarkable when you realize how they worked together.
I think the "staring" you mentioned is he just making sure he stays on track with Angelina, as these performances are very often impromtu without any "practice". Which makes it even better, right ?
EGIL IS A GUY who has a studio in Norway and has been instrumental to Angelnas development over time Alen papier has a interview with Egil and would give you much input on Angelina.
Full body chills and brought tears to my eyes .love the slight accent it adds to the gorgeous texture of her voice !love your review .so glad youtube recommended your channel !now where can I buy her C.D.S !??
It looks like he is staring at her because he's trying to follow where she is going. It would not surprise me if neither of them has done the song before. Angelina is reading from her phone while Egil is as surprised as the rest of us at some of her choices.
"Slightly uncomfortable..." Yes, perhaps... She's just eleven and singing that lyrics, opening her eyes and seeing her guitarist (Egil Clausen) a grown man looking with kind eyes down at her... I don't say that's absolutely what happens, but perhaps she found herself a bit out of the context...lol.
The suppose uncomfortable she showed was when their eyes connected she was lost in the song and realized what she was singing. Both guitarist have said that when she calls to do a video, they do activities most of the day. Eat dinner then go to her room to shoot the video. They then decide what song and if they don't know it, she brings it up on her phone, he gets rhe rhythm down in about 5 minutes, then she says just follow my lead. Usually done in one take, if more than one take the guitarist claims they messed up and usually lost in her spectacular performance! Egil Clausen is the guitarist with her after winning the contest, Ivan Mendez started after her move to L.A. God Bless!
You should really check out the Belgian band Amenra, and their song A Solitary Reign. If you do decide to check it out, check out the music video version. One of the members made the video. Very creative band.
Incredible cover from Angelina. Egil Clausen is the guitar player.

She's brilliant!!
Amazing voice and breathe control
That first run on "kissed your mouth" just pierces my ❤ every time.
I love her! She brings old songs into the present without destroying them! She is unbelievable talented! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you 😊 for your sharing
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Who doesn’t love this song. It’s haunting and melancholic.
I remember this song sung by Roberta Flack in the Clint Eastwood movie, "Play Misty For Me". Unforgettable.
She will be the best of all time!!!
New to your channel I subscribe love it thank you so much
She is a beautiful young woman and has lived past times
Beautiful music therapy

That was the first song I cried to when Roberta sang it. A truly lovely song sang here with reverence to the original by Miss Flack.
I can't help but feel privileged to be able to watch her develop and demonstrate her incredible talents. Quite possibly will become a generational superstar.

0p lol p p 00 l lol l 0ll9 p 9th ppl l0l0
and to think she did this at 11yo wow simply amazing!
She won the Voice in Norway when she was 7 years old. She has a lot of music out there Angelina is quite the force to be reckoned with

Increadable breathtaking

An absolute amazing singer. Truly gifted
The first time ever I heard Angelina's voice, I knew it was the best I had ever heard.
Because it’s from God, that’s why it’s the best you ever heard
@@colleenloffredo7895 yes but aren't all our gifts from God?

Took me about 7 seconds
Just when you think she could not make me cry..
She sings like nobody else
Almost makes you cry. Such sole.
He is Norwegian as she is musician and has a studio they record her music Klaus

I think the look is how they communicate , in the interviews it seems like she leads and its the guitarist who follows her lead.
What she does to a classic is incomparable , her uniqueness knows no boundaries, absolutely mouth watering, eye watering , stunning!
She give me the best feelings ❤❤❤
I first heard this song in the sixties on a Peter, Paul and Mary album. I feel old.

I am not sure about his first name but his last name is Mendez
He is Mexican i believe and he works with Angelina all the time.They are good friends.
After hearing this song, I am now convinced that AJ does not function mentally like most people. Her innate musical confidence permits her to naturally interpret her music in a way that seems so obvious to her.

Angelina Jordan - What Is Life this is an original one if you want to review it
she is so much better than any guitar. and this makes it obvious.
Yes the first time I heard her voice, I knew a star was born. !!!!!! Thanks for your emotional reaction.
The thing I really like about her performance here is that she showcases the fact that her gentle lilts add wonderful texture to the song, rather than those annoying runs that so many singers think are cool. Hers are never contrived.
WOW .. just WOW .. she is truly amazing ... what a future she has ... I found you from tom And Nova .. now you show me this .. I can Imagine Nova doing a video for her...
You could tune any musical instruments to her voice
Voice of an Angel! What else needs to be said!
Just sublime. Even after the millionth listen....
I heard the original of this every morning during basic training in 1973. I loved it then. Now with Miss Jordan adding her magic I love it all over again. Could you do some Leonid & Friends please?
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Leona Lewis sings this song so beautiful you should listen to it
Your observation is correct. He was looking at her to gave support because she sang some of the lines in the wrong order. That's why you got that look and grin between them at the end like they knew something.
Egil Claussen. both of these guitarist do this at times
Mesmerizing...
I lovely’s it
Just Egil Clausen on guitar and Angelina with that beautiful velvet voice you just can’t beet it and no Angelina was definitely not uncomfortable with Egil they have worked together for years and have some really fun times together he is a good friend of the family and she’s always comfortable with him you saw something I definitely didn’t see because it wasn’t there Love 💕 from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴👼👼👸🏻👸🏻👏👏💕🦶🦶👍🥰👋
This gal must have had some awesome parents to introduce her to half a century of music from a broad range genres. She makes them all her own.
She’s utterly extraordinary
Hey! He is cool. They interacted a lot good vibes. He was totally blown away. A lot on Utube about it. This was first time run amazing she kept melody that long. Listen to react to holding out for you. She was only ten. Just now leaked out.
Isaac Hayes did a hella good cover of it also. His passion is unmatched.
Angel...
I like this daily SOAD! Keep it going! Try Revenga live from MTV2 next!
I thought you would be mine and you would love me till my last breath, now you've left me to pick up all the pieces. You broke me, but you will never see me fall, nor take away my shine
The reason she was uncomfortable with the guy playing the guitar was because he failed to keep to her tempo. Don't know if I've used correct word. But she's a perfectionists
The last part of the song was the first time ever I saw her got embarrassed. This is one of my 82 top favorites from Angelina.

For an 11 year old to be singing this can be a little awkward, especially as it is probably her grandma that is recording it!

Johnny Cash did a wonderful version of this. one of his last recordings.
Angelina Jordan, Courtney Hadwin, Amira Willighagen, Diana Ankudinova. The future. In a future World. ⚘😪💞💞⚘
Phenomenal depth ❤️
Just Freaking Amazing❣‼
Wonderful reaction MrLboyd....Yes it was Egil on guitar...on the funny side of Angelina, she and /egil played a lot of jokes on each other, seems like Angelina always won....Thumbs up to ALL the great comments below. : )

Not uncomfortable, only a little bit embarrased and because she mixed 2 text-lines. Just check the lyrics!
Yes I felt the awkwardness! It’s very intense.
Angelina is our norwegian treasure ♥️🇳🇴♥️ Ps.. Leona Lewis got a cover of this song too.
Yes she is such a treasure and beautiful gift to the world. There is a great Celine Dion version of this song also!
The suppose uncomfortable she showed was when their eyes connected she was lost in the song and realized what she was singing. Both guitarist have said that when she calls to do a video, they do activities most of the day. Eat dinner then go to her room to shoot the video. They then decide what song and if they don't know it, she brings it up on her phone, he gets rhe rhythm down in about 5 minutes, then she says just follow my lead. Usually done in one take, if more than one take the guitarist claims they messed up and usually lost in her spectacular performance! Egil Clausen is the guitarist with her after winning the contest, Ivan Mendez started after her move to L.A. God Bless!
You should really check out the Belgian band Amenra, and their song A Solitary Reign. If you do decide to check it out, check out the music video version. One of the members made the video. Very creative band.
Roberta’s cover was released in 1972.
