Thank you for another excellent reaction to Angelina's performance. Now you have to react to her performance of "How great Thou Art". The whole song is in a low register.
agreed, here is the link th-cam.com/video/WLAEy1LIHrc/w-d-xo.html And for a more recent song where she goes low ... I would say maybe her cover of suspicious minds ? th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html It's not as low as How great thou art at least I don't think but then again I'm not a singer or musician so I might be wrong. But in her recent songs it's the one she goes lowest I would say.
This was the song that did it for me. It made me positive that Angelina, at 12, was the best singer I’d ever heard. Her stunning voice, her interpretive abilities, and her musicality all come together in this impromptu performance that still makes me react both emotionally and physically every time I watch it. Even as a very young child, Angelina had the ability to express melancholy that you feel deeply. When Adele sings her beautiful song lyrics, you feel her pain. When Angelina sings this, you understand that the sadness and lost opportunities of A Million Years Ago is about you. It’s about the chances we’ve all missed-and which we’ll never have again. Her low register is amazing, and her musical wisdom or innate musicality guides this child to understand how perfectly, intimately that depth of tone sets the stage for the emotional ride we’re going to experience in this song. And, amazingly, this casual performance that made me realize Angelina was the best singer I’d ever heard is not perfect technically. But it’s staggering in so many other ways. After actively listening to music for 70 years, Angelina affected me like no other singer.
Andreas, you are the best at what you do. According to her LA guitarist, Ivan Mendez, in an interview he stated that all the songs he played for her in these home recordings were unrehearsed, impromptu performances where he spends a few minutes learning the song & then just follows her as best he can while she is reading the lyrics off screen. He said the only time they did a 2nd take was if he made a big mistake, since she never does. Her guitarist from Norway when she was 8-12, Egil Clausen, said she did the same thing with him, just making it up as she goes along. I've never heard of any vocalist doing that before & I believe it's why she is better live than in the studio. Today as a professional, her producers, Stargate Productions, say she is a one-take wonder in the studio. They say the only other artists that they know of who can do that, besides Angelina, is Beyoncé & Sam Smith. Stargate has worked with about 30-40 of some of the biggest names in the business that didn't make that short list. I think her most impressive work to date is her cover of the classic jazz standard, My Funny Valentine, she recorded on Instagram when she was barely 16 yo. th-cam.com/video/ETGLbsGDAI0/w-d-xo.html It is a Masterclass in vocal control & dynamics & it's the best version I've ever heard from all the legendary vocalists that have covered it.
Thank you very much for your kind words and the background information about how Angelina approaches her performances. I put My Funny Valentine on my list!
@@andreasgrussl I second Keith's recommendation. However, be aware that it is not a live recording...but it doesn't matter, as Keith said, it's a master class.

@@stevek5332 While ‘My Funny Valentine’ is not accompanied by video from the recording studio, I am not sure if that or something else is what you mean by “it’s not a live recording”. I thought ‘live recording’ refers to whether the audio was subjected to postproduction editing and special effects.
Ivan Mendez was Angelina's (12y) guitarist in LA in 2018. In an interview with Alan Papier on his TH-cam channel, Ivan told the story of how the cover's came about. In a nutshell "Angelina doesn't have a wish list of songs, she decides spontaneously if she likes a song. After hearing a song she says great song and has downloaded the lyrics. OK, well, let's start ". Then the cover was recorded in one take, Angelina sang the song here for the first time after her arrangement without rehearsing beforehand. 💯 *AJ* 💯
Yes you should watch the interview with Alan and Ivan. It’s very cool that these songs were so spontaneous and organic. Neither his playing or her singing is perfect. But so very real. These summer sessions with Ivan are my favorite covers. And his reactions to her are priceless
That performance gives me goosebumps and i always feel emotional after ❤️ Just too good for a 12 year old ❤️ And, You, Sir are great at this you do 👍 Easy for me to understand what you are talking about and i appreciate that ❤️ Have a great day 👍
Thank you, Andreas! I really enjoyed watching your analysis of our Barefoot Princess. Angelina is famous for slowing things down and drawing the listener in to the experience. I shall definitely be watching for more.
Andreas, Angelina is the embodiment of your sign, "Sing smart, not hard". Her musicality and technique at any age are off the charts and she sings with such ease. So far she has avoided the kind of voice strain problems that Adele dealt with (except when she gets a cold). One vocal coach attributed her vocal health to the fact that she uses her voice in so many different ways that she never wears down any part of it through overuse. Plus she has high-level technique, though she is largely self-taught. As you say "Genius!"
I agree! And the more I watch her, the more I'm astonished by her artistic depth. The way she emulates that song quickly shows an artistic mastery I only know from singers that were MUCH older than Angelina in that performance. That to me really is the most astonishing thing about her art.
@@andreasgrussl But here I have an honest question that I want to get an expert opinion: Isn't her "genre range" somewhat limited to strain her vocal chords? I mean, she doesn't sing pop, rock etc. (I don't agree when she jazzifies pop or rock songs and sings like that, what I mean is singing a song within the discipline of that song's genre) I've watched nearly 60-70 songs of her but there are lots out there I know, maybe I missed some stuff that would prove me wrong. Please suggest me such pieces of her.
Andreas, This is the very first song I heard from Angelina 5 years ago and I was hooked! I was not just amazed by the quality of her vocals, the low register, the techniques, and the emotions. It also floored me that she was only 12 years old! She was expressing the emotion of the song as if she had lived it and we know she had not. An emotional intelligence beyond her years. I said to myself this girl is going to be a legend! Your observations and analysis are spot on and I thoroughly enjoy tuning in. By the way, if you really want to see Angelina's low register, you will want to react to How Great Thou Art. Angelina was 13, and performed this in the same low register as Elvis Presley! Mind blowing!😅
Here is a link to HGTA: th-cam.com/video/WLAEy1LIHrc/w-d-xo.html (I saw a recording of Elvis singing this, it may have been a mashup with AJ, and I think he was in a higher key.)
Thank you Andreas, I love your extensive, interesting and in-depth analyzes with Angelina, just one note... they are too rare. The simplicity and ease with which she deals with songs of this type, without preparing them (she reads the lyrics) and often recorded on the first or second run (as reported by her guitarists), is simply amazing even more for a 12/13 year old girl, not to mention her vocal range.💛🧡❤
Thanks, I'm happy you like my videos! I'll do my best to make them more regular. And I agree, it's really incredible how she puts these songs out without preparing much. This is what makes a masterful artist.
@@dojoswitzer lol, you are only saying that because you don't know what masterful artist in my definition means. I can tell you that throughout the history of singing, including everyone from Caruso to Dimash there aren't a lot of singers I use this term for.
@@andreasgrussl Someday, I would love to see your list; because people sometimes add to comments on Angelina’s reactions, ‘go checkout this artist,’ and when I venture to listen elsewhere, I am always disappointed. (I know that I surely go elsewhere with a great deal of bias. But, over the past year I have opened up to a few vocalists, to say ‘I will listen when they sing’.)
old style Kentucky Fried Chicken was famous for having ' 11 different ' herbs and spices. No one knew what they were but everyone loved that original KFC taste. I love Angelina's singing even though I can't name the techniques she uses. But you've revealed a lot of her recipe to us today... VERY VERY interesting.... makes me even more impressed with her.
I like your breakdown on the in depth in which Angelina sings. It feels heavy on the low notes as if she's carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders but it also gives the sense of warmth. Angelina does carry well the in depth sound in her newly released song, " Love Don't Let Me Go " age 17. It's truly amazing the sound of her voice, colorful pallet and rearrangement of a song she has created from very young age. Link for new song th-cam.com/video/1U6WY_z8Vu8/w-d-xo.html
Amazing reaction, Andreas. If there is ONE singer in this world that is deserving of a detailed break-down like the ones you do, it is Angelina. There is just so incredibly much to her voice and way of singing that isn't immediately obvious to the more casual listener. I guess most of not all of her fans are aware of these things, but it always feels great to have one's opinions affirmed by a professional like yourself. So thanks a lot for all the effort you put into your reactions to her. Much love from Norway 🇸🇯❤️
Long time since you have reacted to Angelina Andreas. Always enjoy your in depth analysis and breaking down of vocals. And yes, just an impromptu sit down with Ivan and singing a song she likes, but also having to read the lyrics while delivering this absolutely stunning cover of one of her favorite artists. She is simply an amazing young lady. Still think you need to see her sing "How Great Thou Art" in the key of Elvis at around the same age. Sings the entire song in low key and even slows the tempo down to make even more impressive. I did see a link to it in other comments, hope you find the time. Thanks Andreas. 🥰🥰
What gets me is that Adele is recorded at a studio .. and Angelina is recording at her home. Ivan comes over, they have a meal and then go and record some.
Brilliant analysis, as usual. There are so many characteristics in her tone, dynamics, transition from head voice to chest voice, rasp, vibrato that generate emotion. It's really impossible to dissect, like listening to Bach.
Analysis as a great professional, as always, you convince me more and more of the great talent of this wonderful creature, thank you, good life and music..Massimo
Angelina now reaches those low notes as easily as a bird sings. And the high notes. All with her sweet amazing tone and all kinds different textures an colours. She is a beautiful living musical instrument.
As low as this is know that this isn't her lowest register yet, if you really want to experience the depth of her voice you should check out her cover of "How great thou art".
How is this even possible? Not even 30K subscribers. My honest opinion, is that you're the best vocal coach that shows in the best detail possible here on TH-cam. I watched almost all vocal coaches reaction to our incredible Angelina and no one comes close to how you present them in exact detail. Well done and keep it like this. I'm so blown away of how small is your channel, yet you have great and intelligent videos. In many cases people don't know how to choose the best 😂
She's a pro at looking at the lyrics while delivering the performance in a way that makes you feel it. When she masters the song it becomes magic. Many of these are impromptu. Check out her How Great Thou Art, sung in Elvis's key for some low notes.
these songs are done without rehearsal, a few minutes prep and then one and done, unless Ivan messes up then they do a second take ... so,, yes she is reading the lyrics ... the songs are mutually selected when they sit down to record, based on both having some (have your heard this, yes) familiarity with the song ... just a fun after dinner activity between acquaintances ... BTW, notice Ivan is in awe as well ... they do so well together
Hi! Your analysis is so professional, it was a great pleasure, please stay with Angelina yet! There are only 199 covers and 6 own songs left, that's good news right?)))) We are waiting for you! Thank you very much!
@@dojoswitzer with the editing effort that is put into my videos I certainly won't be able to keep up with that 😂But I try to include her music more in my videos.
Impromptu Indeed! Correct! Angelina has moved to Los Angeles now. Ivan Mendez is the guitar player. He'd be invited over and they would pick a song together and they would just record it in one take. It was rare if they recorded it twice. In the interview with Alan Papier, Ivan says he suggested they pick the songs in advance so he could prepare but they preferred to be more impromptu.
@@andreasgrussl I enjoy your reactions. Angelina is supposed to be releasing an entire album of original songs next month. Love Don't Let Me Go, released May 5th is the first single from the album🍁
"plus her timing is off the charts" That kind of perfection has always been one her more baffling skills. How is it possible for her always have such accurate timing?
I love THIS version and have watched/listened to it so many times and purely enjoy this rendition so much! And just love watching Ivan getting into the song and to the angelic tones of ANGELina! The looks he has when she sings, he too is feeling it (like we all do) - through the singer/artist. That is = Angelina Jordan
Andreas, what a wonderful video. I'm not a singer so a lot of stuff you put out there flew right over my head but I still enjoyed watching the excitement in your voice as you described what was going on. If I could contribute something to the video via comments, it is the following: "I've been around the block a few times and I love music and in all my years this young lady is, by far, the most sensational artist I have ever heard. Her voice is so unique with it's soulfulness, it's range, the hint of jazz and she's a great storyteller. And, we must include who she is as a person because that soulfulness we hear is coming from her soul in the form of love and that love touches our hearts and when it does it will never leave us. Our hearts will never let that happen. We can hear the same song literally hundreds of times (no lie!!!) and still tear up or full out cry every time. I used the word unique to describe her voice just to point out how different it is. It's so much more than that and what's incredible, AGE IS NOT A FACTOR in regards to the way she delivers love straight to us when she sings. Of course her voice changes as she gets older but she stays with it and always maintains control of it." Andreas, she's graduating school this spring and she's ready to commit herself to her career. She has just come out with a new original single, 'Love Don't Let Me Go', an EP will be coming out in June and a new album a little later in the year. She has told us all the songs in the album are originals. She'll probably go on her first world tour and probably introduce those songs at the same time. Last thing, Andreas, I do feel like she sings FOR me, not to me. She sings FOR each person and all of us can feel that in our hearts.
Thanks you for all of the background information and for sharing your thoughts. I also feel she touches each individual listener so that it seems she sings for that one person. It's pretty incredibel!
Welcome back Andreas. Really love your nerdy analysis of Angelina, the nerdier the better. Your awesome 👌. If you really want to hear her lower range etc, react to and analyze these covers she did. "Born To Die " originally by Lana del Rey. "How great thou art" She does it in the same key as Elvis and really shows her control by keeping it the same all the way through the song. "You make me feel so young" originally by Frank Sinatra. Angie sings this in a type of duet and gets low into the 2nd, but with an upbeat song. All these songs she gets easily gets down into C3 and lower into the 2nd octave 🤯. (Will you also please react to Laura Bretan's cover of "Adagio". She’s not well known outside her circle cause of her genre's but her voice and character are amazing and she's also a Prodigy ❤). God bless you 🙏. ❤🙂👍
Angelina also dropped her new official single from RR on May 5th. She wrote it and was in every part of the song and the visualizer. She said that the song is about LOVE itself and not about being in love but her talking to LOVE. ❤ Deep lyrics for a 17 yr old. Please also react to it.
Great reaction. Yes, she is reading off the lyrics... if you want to do a more recent song with all the hight and low registers, her latest version of "My Funny Valentine" would be a good hit imho. Insta movie, but full version with good sound quality , also availiable on YT (from feb 22).
Andreas thank your for your expert vocal input on our sweetheart Angelina. You have described her awesome vocal ability better than anyone I have heard before. Bro thank you for showing us just how brilliant and talented she is. Please check out her latest rendition of " My Funny Valentine" it is in color and vocally one of my favorite of Angelina's !!!
Ivan the guitarist says they get together and they never know what song they are going to do. She almost always does it in 1 take, rarely 2 and almost never 3. I agree it is crazy she can do this while having to read the music. Also amazing is how she takes already iconic songs to the next level. She sings songs the way they are suppose to be sung. Andreas you forgot the unwritten rule. Always watch Angelina videos until the end. You missed the wave and Bye.
First of all, the production effort here is off the charts for a reaction video. All the points raised were illustrated with many cuts and repeats that were stitched together with some serious craftsmanship. The video editing could have easily exceeded the message here. But, that wasn't the case. Andreas' analysis was at least as capably done as the production. What impressed most was his emphasis on the musicality that Angelina brought to this performance, not her tone, not her technique - both of which merited high praise. While technically Angelina is brilliant, she may even top those skills with how she interprets a piece of music, always applying her skills in service of the composition. Andreas was right on point where he targeted his analysis. Kudos.
her voice seems to effect the guy playing the guitar in such a way that he can feel it in his soul just look at his face. It says if she’s taking him back to a point in his life. Although the song may not have anything to do with him it just reaches into your soul and bring out such joy and raw emotion. This young girl is truly going places that no one will ever or could ever imagine! That’s just my opinion.
Excellent job! I love your reactions and analysis and I love this performance by Angelina. It's also nice seeing someone compare two artists without bashing one.
Super analysis!! And the examples to make your point are excellent and easily understood by us non-musicians.....Unrelated, but I noticed your slogan and would suggest you revise it to: "Sing smarter, not harder".
First of all, I'm really happy you enjoyed the video. And thank you very much for your suggestion regarding my slogan. I have to say, I like that better as well 🙂.
The guitarist, Ivan Menendez, said in an interview that they would listen to a song once or twice and then record. Adele and Rihanna are great songwriters who sing very well. Angelina ia a great singer who also writes. I Feel Angelina's music as much as hear it.
So glad that Andreas is back to doing reviews! Have always enjoyed his deep and nuanced approach. Loved his close analysis of AJ's performance. I, too was especially captured by her incredible phrasing as well as her effortless movement between the many textures of her voice. If Andreas wants to further explore AJ's command of low notes, I strongly encourage listening to her cover of "Suspicious Minds" by Elvis. She released this video last year (age 16) and her coming of age (vocally) is unmistakable.
2 songs that come to mind or let me say 3: Frank Sinatra"s "You make me feel so young" at 13, "How great thou art" an Elvis Presley's cover and finally "When you believe", a Whitney Houston's number ft Mariah Carey. By the way Andreas, you're the best at your job. A great reaction as usual.
Love your reactions - so informative. Early on you point to a real mystery: how can she convey the meaning and emotion of a song so brilliantly while reading the lyrics (probably just as a reminder ) ? I love what you say about the texture in the voice, which I love - I think there is a big difference here from Adele whose voice I find a bit boring in comparison. She has always been amazing with timing and dynamic range/variation. (Did you notice Ivan's facial expressions as she sang ? :) )
Thanks a lot! I'm happy you enjoy my videos! I think her ability to emulate a song straight away is a sign of a really masterful artist. They said the same thing about Enrico Caruso, but he was more than 40 years old then 🙂. I felt like Ivan's face gave away that he really enjoyed playing with her. Did you mean that?
@@andreasgrussl yes that is exactly what I meant... there is a very interesting interview with Ivan where he talks about his experience playing with/for Angelina: th-cam.com/video/2uQyt2T3ayE/w-d-xo.html
I agree with your remark regarding her still being a child in that video. Still the way she delivers the song isn't child like at all. I guess that's why comparing to Adele can be interesting.
Thanks for the wonderful analysis, Andreas. You don't really mention it but her voice does lose some presence on the low notes here, especially in the second verse. I think she would probably do better now being a bit older. Regardless, the chorus is the part that blows me away. It's just heartbreaking when she sings "I miss my mother" even though her mother is probably right there watching. 😃
Another reactor commented how intimate these recordings feel, as though it’s just you and her (and Ivan). Very likely there are six people in the room: Angelina, guitarist Ivan, granny Mery, mom Sara, uncle Mike, and sister Juliette.
@@dojoswitzer Interesting! I can hear intimacy in how she shares the emotions of the narrator in that song. So I can see where that person was coming from.
I agree that, in this video, 12 year old Angelina's voice does lose a bit of presence in its lowest notes. Suggest you listen to her more recent version of "Suspicious Minds" to see (hear) how her lower register has blossomed.
The guitarist said in an interview that he just came from work and he didn't even have time to cut the guitar strings (as you can see in the video) when they recorded this song. 😂 Great analysis! 👍
What can an old man say other than thank you for another excellent analysis of an Angelina performance. I note the many of those commenting recommend that you react to her performance of "How Great Thou Art" which she sang at the age of 13 . I hope that will appear very soon.
Hallo Andreas. Ich gebe Claudio recht. Deine guten Analysen von Angelina sind leider viel zu selten. Sehr interessant dürfte das Interview von Alan Papier sein, das er mit Ivan Mendez (dem Gitarristen) geführt hat. Wenn man aus erster Hand erfährt, wie diese Videos entstanden sind, kann man es fast nicht glauben und versteht wie gut, nein brilliant Angelina tatsöchlich ist
Adele siempre me ha gustado mucho, es una de mis cantantes favoritas. Sin embargo, desde que Angelina ha versionado sus canciones siento que ya le pertenecen, lo que emocionalmente transmite es demasiado conmovedor, adoro a Angelina 😊😊🥰
This was done at home with the guitar player and a good microphone. She did a lot of these just sitting at home. They selected a song he'd play she'd sing. One take.
Dear Austrian friend, Mr. Mendez, the guitarist told in an interview with Alan Papier, that this was all inpromptu sessions, He came over to the house, ate with the family, and he and Angelina went to her musical corner in her room. They flicked though songs, until they found one they both liked. He had 15 to 20 minutes to get the music right and then they recorded it in one take, he said also, when they had a second take, it was his fault, he got so faszinated with her voice, that he sometimes erred. He also told, never, was she impatient with him. By the way, Angelina released a new song, she wrote herself, it´s the first release of her upcoming album in fall 2023. "Love don´t let me go" Be healthy and safe. Ganz liebe Grüße nach Österreich. Elmar from Germany.
Great take on this song from Angelina. You mentioned it seems she is reading the lyrics and she is. The songs with Ivan as guitarist are most always first or second takes. See Alan Papier's interview with Ivan on Alan's TH-cam channel for more insight into how Angelina operates on these home type videos.
You need to watch a few of these videos with the same guitarist ,,, watch his face .... you can see him falling in love with her voice. They literally just met, had a short chat & then said Ok lets do it. A series of one hit wonders. In an interview later he said he was so shocked at her sound of her voice he was struggling to concentrate

Thank you very much! I'm happy you enjoyed the video!
Thank you for another excellent reaction to Angelina's performance. Now you have to react to her performance of "How great Thou Art". The whole song is in a low register.
Thank you for the song suggestion! I'm happy you liked the video!
agreed, here is the link th-cam.com/video/WLAEy1LIHrc/w-d-xo.html
And for a more recent song where she goes low ... I would say maybe her cover of suspicious minds ? th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html
It's not as low as How great thou art at least I don't think but then again I'm not a singer or musician so I might be wrong. But in her recent songs it's the one she goes lowest I would say.
@@JezaGaia Thanks!
I believe the low register she sings is the same key as Elvis' interpretation
@@richardvarnish8506 Maybe even a tick lower than Elvis....It is truly incredible
I just looove your reactions “How great thou art” is another one she sings really low in throughout the entire song.

@@andreasgrussl But here I have an honest question that I want to get an expert opinion: Isn't her "genre range" somewhat limited to strain her vocal chords? I mean, she doesn't sing pop, rock etc. (I don't agree when she jazzifies pop or rock songs and sings like that, what I mean is singing a song within the discipline of that song's genre) I've watched nearly 60-70 songs of her but there are lots out there I know, maybe I missed some stuff that would prove me wrong. Please suggest me such pieces of her.
The best female singer/songwriter alive today !!!
Andreas, This is the very first song I heard from Angelina 5 years ago and I was hooked! I was not just amazed by the quality of her vocals, the low register, the techniques, and the emotions. It also floored me that she was only 12 years old! She was expressing the emotion of the song as if she had lived it and we know she had not. An emotional intelligence beyond her years. I said to myself this girl is going to be a legend!
Your observations and analysis are spot on and I thoroughly enjoy tuning in.
By the way, if you really want to see Angelina's low register, you will want to react to How Great Thou Art. Angelina was 13, and performed this in the same low register as Elvis Presley! Mind blowing!😅
Here is a link to HGTA: th-cam.com/video/WLAEy1LIHrc/w-d-xo.html (I saw a recording of Elvis singing this, it may have been a mashup with AJ, and I think he was in a higher key.)
Thank you Andreas, I love your extensive, interesting and in-depth analyzes with Angelina, just one note... they are too rare. The simplicity and ease with which she deals with songs of this type, without preparing them (she reads the lyrics) and often recorded on the first or second run (as reported by her guitarists), is simply amazing even more for a 12/13 year old girl, not to mention her vocal range.💛🧡❤
Thanks, I'm happy you like my videos! I'll do my best to make them more regular. And I agree, it's really incredible how she puts these songs out without preparing much. This is what makes a masterful artist.
@@andreasgrussl “a masterful artist.” I think you are talking to a crowd who mostly has come to believe she is “the master artist”.
@@dojoswitzer lol, you are only saying that because you don't know what masterful artist in my definition means. I can tell you that throughout the history of singing, including everyone from Caruso to Dimash there aren't a lot of singers I use this term for.
@@andreasgrussl Someday, I would love to see your list; because people sometimes add to comments on Angelina’s reactions, ‘go checkout this artist,’ and when I venture to listen elsewhere, I am always disappointed. (I know that I surely go elsewhere with a great deal of bias. But, over the past year I have opened up to a few vocalists, to say ‘I will listen when they sing’.)
I think "How great Thou Art" really showcases her lower register more than any of her other songs.
Thanks, will take a look at it!
Listen to this one every day and still hits me same way. Thanks for your in-depth analysis
I'm glad you liked the video. I agree it's an amazing version of the song! Masterfully interpreted!
old style Kentucky Fried Chicken was famous for having ' 11 different ' herbs and spices. No one knew what they were but everyone loved that original KFC taste. I love Angelina's singing even though I can't name the techniques she uses. But you've revealed a lot of her recipe to us today... VERY VERY interesting.... makes me even more impressed with her.
Thanks a lot, I'm happy you liked the video! And I really enjoyed your comparison to KFC.
Angelina’s level of empathy, feel, intellect and intuition is far beyond her chronological age.
once again a superb reaction. find your insights interesting and enjoyable. one of my favorite angelina interpretations
Thank you very much for your kind words! I'm happy you enjoyed the video!
I like your breakdown on the in depth in which Angelina sings. It feels heavy on the low notes as if she's carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders but it also gives the sense of warmth. Angelina does carry well the in depth sound in her newly released song, " Love Don't Let Me Go " age 17. It's truly amazing the sound of her voice, colorful pallet and rearrangement of a song she has created from very young age. Link for new song th-cam.com/video/1U6WY_z8Vu8/w-d-xo.html
Amazing reaction, Andreas. If there is ONE singer in this world that is deserving of a detailed break-down like the ones you do, it is Angelina. There is just so incredibly much to her voice and way of singing that isn't immediately obvious to the more casual listener. I guess most of not all of her fans are aware of these things, but it always feels great to have one's opinions affirmed by a professional like yourself. So thanks a lot for all the effort you put into your reactions to her. Much love from Norway 🇸🇯❤️
The tenderness of her second "mother".. gets me every time.. just heartbreaking!
Yes, that one was amazing!
I cried there too, and I never cry for a song. Miss my mom.💕
There is no one I know that can bet her emotive vocals!!
Long time since you have reacted to Angelina Andreas. Always enjoy your in depth analysis and breaking down of vocals. And yes, just an impromptu sit down with Ivan and singing a song she likes, but also having to read the lyrics while delivering this absolutely stunning cover of one of her favorite artists. She is simply an amazing young lady. Still think you need to see her sing "How Great Thou Art" in the key of Elvis at around the same age. Sings the entire song in low key and even slows the tempo down to make even more impressive. I did see a link to it in other comments, hope you find the time. Thanks Andreas. 🥰🥰
Thanks, I'm happy you liked the video! Since so many people voted for that song, I'll definitely take a look at it!
@@andreasgrussl 😁😁😁🥰🥰
Angelina sings to express, not to impress. Thanks for a great reaction ❣️
I really like that quote! Thanks, I'm happy you enjoyed the video!
and AJ doesnt "cover" songs but "UNcovers" them
What gets me is that Adele is recorded at a studio .. and Angelina is recording at her home. Ivan comes over, they have a meal and then go and record some.
Brilliant analysis, as usual. There are so many characteristics in her tone, dynamics, transition from head voice to chest voice, rasp, vibrato that generate emotion. It's really impossible to dissect, like listening to Bach.
Agreed, it consists of so many layers. I'm happy you like the video!
This song also stands more to me for the interpretation. And the higher parts are actually some of the most exquisite from her from that period.
Analysis as a great professional, as always, you convince me more and more of the great talent of this wonderful creature, thank you, good life and music..Massimo
I love your smart comparisons of AJ with originals. And I agree with you that AJ elevates the covers she does. Cheers!
Thank you, I'm happy you enjoy my videos.
Angelina now reaches those low notes as easily as a bird sings. And the high notes. All with her sweet amazing tone and all kinds different textures an colours. She is a beautiful living musical instrument.
As low as this is know that this isn't her lowest register yet, if you really want to experience the depth of her voice you should check out her cover of "How great thou art".
Thanks will take a look at it!
How is this even possible? Not even 30K subscribers. My honest opinion, is that you're the best vocal coach that shows in the best detail possible here on TH-cam. I watched almost all vocal coaches reaction to our incredible Angelina and no one comes close to how you present them in exact detail. Well done and keep it like this. I'm so blown away of how small is your channel, yet you have great and intelligent videos. In many cases people don't know how to choose the best 😂
I know how to choose the best, which is why I am here on an Angelina reaction and Andreas channel ✌🏻
Thank you very much for your kind words! I really appreciate them!
Many thanks for supporting my channel!
She's a pro at looking at the lyrics while delivering the performance in a way that makes you feel it. When she masters the song it becomes magic.
Many of these are impromptu.
Check out her How Great Thou Art, sung in Elvis's key for some low notes.
these songs are done without rehearsal, a few minutes prep and then one and done, unless Ivan messes up then they do a second take ... so,, yes she is reading the lyrics ... the songs are mutually selected when they sit down to record, based on both having some (have your heard this, yes) familiarity with the song ... just a fun after dinner activity between acquaintances ... BTW, notice Ivan is in awe as well ... they do so well together
Hi! Your analysis is so professional, it was a great pleasure, please stay with Angelina yet! There are only 199 covers and 6 own songs left, that's good news right?)))) We are waiting for you! Thank you very much!
Thanks a lot for your kind words! I'm also looking forward to all of that. It may take a while to get through it though 🙂
@@andreasgrussl Yes, one reactor who discovered Angelina in January has been reacting daily since a little while later.
@@dojoswitzer with the editing effort that is put into my videos I certainly won't be able to keep up with that 😂But I try to include her music more in my videos.
Perhaps the guitarist's obvious pleasure at accompanying Angelina is quite a testament of her ability as a stunning songstress. Lucky guy!
That was so interesting and informative. Thank you. ❤️🌹
Thank you very much! I'm happy you liked the video!
Brilliant analysis was really fun .Danke :))
Thank you very much for your kind words! You are very welcome!
Love all your AJ analysis videos. At 17 now her low register is phenomenon.
Would be great to hear more Angelina 💜
Thank you Andreas. Truely appreciate your detailed and explanatory reactions. Very much enjoy listening to your comments. Keep up with it. Cheers…
Thank you very much! I'm happy you enjoy my videos!
The look om Ivan's face says everything. 😎
Impromptu Indeed! Correct! Angelina has moved to Los Angeles now. Ivan Mendez is the guitar player. He'd be invited over and they would pick a song together and they would just record it in one take. It was rare if they recorded it twice. In the interview with Alan Papier, Ivan says he suggested they pick the songs in advance so he could prepare but they preferred to be more impromptu.
Maybe that's the Jazz improviser inside her 🙂 But seriously, that is amazing!
@@andreasgrussl I enjoy your reactions. Angelina is supposed to be releasing an entire album of original songs next month. Love Don't Let Me Go, released May 5th is the first single from the album🍁
@@ClifftheBigRedDoggy Thanks for making me aware of her album!
@@ClifftheBigRedDoggy Probably EP then album.
She is a phenomenon. She gets really low and she just how great they are going down. D2
"plus her timing is off the charts" That kind of perfection has always been one her more baffling skills. How is it possible for her always have such accurate timing?
It's amazing, isn't it? I think it comes from her very early exposure to great music combined with a natural talent for it.
Great Job 👍🙏👣
Much appreciated!
The emotion in this rocked my foundations the first time I heard it. I actually teared up.
Well done Andreas.
Thank you very much!
I love THIS version and have watched/listened to it so many times and purely enjoy this rendition so much! And just love watching Ivan getting into the song and to the angelic tones of ANGELina! The looks he has when she sings, he too is feeling it (like we all do) - through the singer/artist.
That is = Angelina Jordan
How Great Thou Art shows her low range as well. Angelina sings in the same key as Elvis Presley.
Andreas, what a wonderful video. I'm not a singer so a lot of stuff you put out there flew right over my head but I still enjoyed watching the excitement in your voice as you described what was going on. If I could contribute something to the video via comments, it is the following: "I've been around the block a few times and I love music and in all my years this young lady is, by far, the most sensational artist I have ever heard. Her voice is so unique with it's soulfulness, it's range, the hint of jazz and she's a great storyteller. And, we must include who she is as a person because that soulfulness we hear is coming from her soul in the form of love and that love touches our hearts and when it does it will never leave us. Our hearts will never let that happen. We can hear the same song literally hundreds of times (no lie!!!) and still tear up or full out cry every time. I used the word unique to describe her voice just to point out how different it is. It's so much more than that and what's incredible, AGE IS NOT A FACTOR in regards to the way she delivers love straight to us when she sings. Of course her voice changes as she gets older but she stays with it and always maintains control of it."
Andreas, she's graduating school this spring and she's ready to commit herself to her career. She has just come out with a new original single, 'Love Don't Let Me Go', an EP will be coming out in June and a new album a little later in the year. She has told us all the songs in the album are originals. She'll probably go on her first world tour and probably introduce those songs at the same time. Last thing, Andreas, I do feel like she sings FOR me, not to me. She sings FOR each person and all of us can feel that in our hearts.
Thanks you for all of the background information and for sharing your thoughts. I also feel she touches each individual listener so that it seems she sings for that one person. It's pretty incredibel!
Welcome back Andreas. Really love your nerdy analysis of Angelina, the nerdier the better. Your awesome 👌. If you really want to hear her lower range etc, react to and analyze these covers she did. "Born To Die " originally by Lana del Rey. "How great thou art" She does it in the same key as Elvis and really shows her control by keeping it the same all the way through the song. "You make me feel so young" originally by Frank Sinatra. Angie sings this in a type of duet and gets low into the 2nd, but with an upbeat song. All these songs she gets easily gets down into C3 and lower into the 2nd octave 🤯. (Will you also please react to Laura Bretan's cover of "Adagio". She’s not well known outside her circle cause of her genre's but her voice and character are amazing and she's also a Prodigy ❤). God bless you 🙏. ❤🙂👍
Angelina also dropped her new official single from RR on May 5th. She wrote it and was in every part of the song and the visualizer. She said that the song is about LOVE itself and not about being in love but her talking to LOVE. ❤ Deep lyrics for a 17 yr old. Please also react to it.
Thank you for your kind words and for your sung suggestions!
will check her single out!
Great reaction. Yes, she is reading off the lyrics... if you want to do a more recent song with all the hight and low registers, her latest version of "My Funny Valentine" would be a good hit imho. Insta movie, but full version with good sound quality , also availiable on YT (from feb 22).
Andreas thank your for your expert vocal input on our sweetheart Angelina. You have described her awesome vocal ability better than anyone I have heard before. Bro thank you for showing us just how brilliant and talented she is. Please check out her latest rendition of " My Funny Valentine" it is in color and vocally one of my favorite of Angelina's !!!
Aprecio o que ela faz sem comparações com outros artistas. Aliás, eu os sinto em sua obras.
Ivan the guitarist says they get together and they never know what song they are going to do. She almost always does it in 1 take, rarely 2 and almost never 3.
I agree it is crazy she can do this while having to read the music.
Also amazing is how she takes already iconic songs to the next level.
She sings songs the way they are suppose to be sung.
Andreas you forgot the unwritten rule. Always watch Angelina videos until the end.
You missed the wave and Bye.
First of all, the production effort here is off the charts for a reaction video. All the points raised were illustrated with many cuts and repeats that were stitched together with some serious craftsmanship. The video editing could have easily exceeded the message here. But, that wasn't the case. Andreas' analysis was at least as capably done as the production. What impressed most was his emphasis on the musicality that Angelina brought to this performance, not her tone, not her technique - both of which merited high praise. While technically Angelina is brilliant, she may even top those skills with how she interprets a piece of music, always applying her skills in service of the composition. Andreas was right on point where he targeted his analysis. Kudos.
Thank you very much for your kind words and for noticing the editing effort. This is really much appreciated! I'm happy you enjoyed the video!
Great reaction again, thanks. The deepest part of the burrow is here: th-cam.com/video/WLAEy1LIHrc/w-d-xo.html "How Great Thou Art"
Thank you, I'm happy you enjoyed the video! I will take a look at that song.
her voice seems to effect the guy playing the guitar in such a way that he can feel it in his soul just look at his face. It says if she’s taking him back to a point in his life. Although the song may not have anything to do with him it just reaches into your soul and bring out such joy and raw emotion. This young girl is truly going places that no one will ever or could ever imagine! That’s just my opinion.
I agree, her singing is magical!
Love watching the guitarist
Excellent job! I love your reactions and analysis and I love this performance by Angelina. It's also nice seeing someone compare two artists without bashing one.
Thank you very much for your kind words! I'm happy you enjoyed the video!
Super analysis!! And the examples to make your point are excellent and easily understood by us non-musicians.....Unrelated, but I noticed your slogan and would suggest you revise it to: "Sing smarter, not harder".
First of all, I'm really happy you enjoyed the video. And thank you very much for your suggestion regarding my slogan. I have to say, I like that better as well 🙂.
@@andreasgrussl 👌
The guitarist, Ivan Menendez, said in an interview that they would listen to a song once or twice and then record. Adele and Rihanna are great songwriters who sing very well. Angelina ia a great singer who also writes. I Feel Angelina's music as much as hear it.
Yes, she communicates emotion like very others have ever been able to. Thanks for clarifying re Ivan.
So glad that Andreas is back to doing reviews! Have always enjoyed his deep and nuanced approach. Loved his close analysis of AJ's performance. I, too was especially captured by her incredible phrasing as well as her effortless movement between the many textures of her voice. If Andreas wants to further explore AJ's command of low notes, I strongly encourage listening to her cover of "Suspicious Minds" by Elvis. She released this video last year (age 16) and her coming of age (vocally) is unmistakable.
Thanks, I'm happy you enjoyed the video and the approach I take! And thank you for your song suggestion!
@@andreasgrussl You're most welcome!
2 songs that come to mind or let me say 3: Frank Sinatra"s "You make me feel so young" at 13, "How great thou art" an Elvis Presley's cover and finally "When you believe", a Whitney Houston's number ft Mariah Carey. By the way Andreas, you're the best at your job. A great reaction as usual.
Love your reactions - so informative. Early on you point to a real mystery: how can she convey the meaning and emotion of a song so brilliantly while reading the lyrics (probably just as a reminder ) ? I love what you say about the texture in the voice, which I love - I think there is a big difference here from Adele whose voice I find a bit boring in comparison. She has always been amazing with timing and dynamic range/variation. (Did you notice Ivan's facial expressions as she sang ? :) )
Thanks a lot! I'm happy you enjoy my videos! I think her ability to emulate a song straight away is a sign of a really masterful artist. They said the same thing about Enrico Caruso, but he was more than 40 years old then 🙂. I felt like Ivan's face gave away that he really enjoyed playing with her. Did you mean that?
@@andreasgrussl yes that is exactly what I meant... there is a very interesting interview with Ivan where he talks about his experience playing with/for Angelina: th-cam.com/video/2uQyt2T3ayE/w-d-xo.html

Thanks, I'm happy you enjoyed the video!
This was my introduction to Angie and it floored me!
It's an amazing song!
She is still a child in this video how can anyone compared her to an adult. I agree with you about an unrehearsed, it’s amazing!
I agree with your remark regarding her still being a child in that video. Still the way she delivers the song isn't child like at all. I guess that's why comparing to Adele can be interesting.
Just shockingly good!
Agreed!
Thanks for the wonderful analysis, Andreas. You don't really mention it but her voice does lose some presence on the low notes here, especially in the second verse. I think she would probably do better now being a bit older. Regardless, the chorus is the part that blows me away. It's just heartbreaking when she sings "I miss my mother" even though her mother is probably right there watching. 😃
Thank you very much! I'm happy you liked the video!
Another reactor commented how intimate these recordings feel, as though it’s just you and her (and Ivan). Very likely there are six people in the room: Angelina, guitarist Ivan, granny Mery, mom Sara, uncle Mike, and sister Juliette.
@@dojoswitzer Interesting! I can hear intimacy in how she shares the emotions of the narrator in that song. So I can see where that person was coming from.
I agree that, in this video, 12 year old Angelina's voice does lose a bit of presence in its lowest notes. Suggest you listen to her more recent version of "Suspicious Minds" to see (hear) how her lower register has blossomed.
@@ryoshida5332 Thanks will do!
Look at You Make Me Feel So Young for her low range. She was 13 at that recording.
Here is the link to YMMFSY: th-cam.com/video/yaKpFlD4TeE/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for the song suggestion!
The guitarist said in an interview that he just came from work and he didn't even have time to cut the guitar strings (as you can see in the video) when they recorded this song. 😂
Great analysis! 👍
Thank you very much! I'm happy you liked the video!
The sessions with her guitarists (Ivan and Egil) are on single takes (very rarely two takes) with no or very little rehearsal.
When she performs easy on me by Adele cover, it’s fantastic
Love your reactions to Angelina!! 🤍
Thank you very much!
Andreas! Your back! I have not even started the Angelina reaction, and I am already excited to write this comment. Don’t stay away so long!
Thanks, will try to!
🥰 you are so right
Thanks, I'm glad you liked the video!
What can an old man say other than thank you for another excellent analysis of an Angelina performance. I note the many of those commenting recommend that you react to her performance of "How Great Thou Art" which she sang at the age of 13 . I hope that will appear very soon.
Thank you for your kind words! That song is on my list!
Hallo Andreas. Ich gebe Claudio recht. Deine guten Analysen von Angelina sind leider viel zu selten. Sehr interessant dürfte das Interview von Alan Papier sein, das er mit Ivan Mendez (dem Gitarristen) geführt hat. Wenn man aus erster Hand erfährt, wie diese Videos entstanden sind, kann man es fast nicht glauben und versteht wie gut, nein brilliant Angelina tatsöchlich ist
Ich werde versuchen, dass Interview zu finden und es mir anzusehen. Ja, ich bin jetzt wirklich bemüht, öfter Videos über Angelina zu machen!
@@andreasgrussl sorry, link vergessen th-cam.com/video/2uQyt2T3ayE/w-d-xo.html
@@Keno0355 Vielen Dank!
I think soon you will believe there is one person worthy of your creating a YT playlist.
yes, I need to do that...promise to get it done!
Adele siempre me ha gustado mucho, es una de mis cantantes favoritas. Sin embargo, desde que Angelina ha versionado sus canciones siento que ya le pertenecen, lo que emocionalmente transmite es demasiado conmovedor, adoro a Angelina 😊😊🥰
Ones a child, and ones a mature woman, who’s been going for years, and yet personally I prefer Angelina.
It's interesting, isn't it?
Excellent review of the technical aspects to AJ's performance.
So nice to hear an articulate reaction for once.👏
Thank you very much! I really appreciate your kind words!
Muy profesional Andreas, es primera vez que veo un análisis yan detallado, eres un grosso😅, felicitaciones! 👏
Excellent analysis! I love your attention to detail. Keep it up!
Thank you very much! I'm happy you liked the video!
She reminds me of Amy Winehouse. ❤
Agreed! Very much so!
She reminds me more of a singer by the name of ANGELINA JORDAN !!!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
BRILLIANT reaction!!!!!!!!!!!!! you show us stuff no others do. thank you so much!!
Thank you very much, I'm happy you enjoyed the video!
This was done at home with the guitar player and a good microphone. She did a lot of these just sitting at home. They selected a song he'd play she'd sing. One take.
Thanks for clarifying!
😇😇😇😇
Dear Austrian friend, Mr. Mendez, the guitarist told in an interview with Alan Papier, that this was all inpromptu sessions, He came over to the house, ate with the family, and he and Angelina went to her musical corner in her room. They flicked though songs, until they found one they both liked. He had 15 to 20 minutes to get the music right and then they recorded it in one take, he said also, when they had a second take, it was his fault, he got so faszinated with her voice, that he sometimes erred. He also told, never, was she impatient with him.
By the way, Angelina released a new song, she wrote herself, it´s the first release of her upcoming album in fall 2023. "Love don´t let me go"
Be healthy and safe.
Ganz liebe Grüße nach Österreich.
Elmar from Germany.
Thank you for this detailed background information! I will definitely check out her new song! Greetings to Germany!
Fantastic analysis. In an interview, her guitarist supported the idea you have about little or no rehearsal. And reading lyrics. Really shocking.
Thank you very much! And thanks for clarifying the no rehearsal point.
Great take on this song from Angelina. You mentioned it seems she is reading the lyrics and she is. The songs with Ivan as guitarist are most always first or second takes. See Alan Papier's interview with Ivan on Alan's TH-cam channel for more insight into how Angelina operates on these home type videos.
Thanks, will take a look at that. I'm happy you liked the video!
How many people did she make cry multiple times ? 😢
You need to watch a few of these videos with the same guitarist ,,, watch his face .... you can see him falling in love with her voice. They literally just met, had a short chat & then said Ok lets do it. A series of one hit wonders. In an interview later he said he was so shocked at her sound of her voice he was struggling to concentrate
💯
