How many teenagers do you know when given the ability to make a music video choose to include their grandmother. This just shows how strongly her family is connected. You see it in the interactions with her sister, mother, and grandmother in all her TikTok videos.
Such a great point! It speaks volumes to her entire family dynamic and the souls of all of them-absolutely a connection unlike few/any others. And how beautiful that is to witness!💕
You are so very welcome! As always, I appreciate your constant encouragement and support, and it’s a blessing to be able to share some new music with you, as I am also discovering it.😊 I think it goes without saying (but that’s not gonna stop me from saying it), I obviously love the intentionality behind your word choice and meanings in your comment. Both with the angels/heaven metaphor, and also with that last line. That one in particular really made me smile.💕 I couldn’t do this without the wonderful souls who have continued to show support here, so I’m equally as thankful for this community (which obviously includes YOU).
Great reaction Becca. A little more about Angelina’s Grandma, *Mery Zamani.* Mery was there when it was discovered that Angelina could sing… at 1-1/2 years old! Since then, Mery has been behind the camera filming her beloved granddaughter. It was Mery who introduced Angelina to jazz music and Mery produced and directed all of Angelina’s early videos. It is my belief that the two of them share one soul… they are that much alike. Mery was born in Iran and she was a child prodigy herself… being a painter and poet at the age of SIX. Angelina has said of her Grandma: “…She’s my inspiration, my best friend… my *everything.”* In light of this strong bond, it’s no wonder this seventeen year old included her dear Grandma in the first video of her EP. I love your analysis (particularly of the lyrical content - you’re very astute and insightful). I am REALLY looking forward to you discovering the rest of Angelina’s EP “Old Enough.” 💛💛🫶💛💛 🎶🖤👣
I am so thankful you’re here, and it makes me really happy to know you’ve enjoyed the deep dive into the dissection of the lyrics. It would be totally easy to just get wrapped up in the beauty of her performance and musicality, but I can’t help myself when it comes to the words, Trying to dig deep and dissect meaning really lights up my brain, and it is an absolute blessing to be able to share that with other people who enjoy it. Thank you so much for adding that information about her grandmother, that just adds a whole deeper layer of special to this song, and to a lot of her life in general, and it’s been so fun learning that backstory. Keep an eye out- I’ve got reactions to the rest of the EP recorded, I just haven’t quite yet had time or energy to edit them, but will be doing so as soon as health allows! Really appreciate you.💕
Hello Becca, it's always nice to see you and listen to you. A perfect and intelligent analysis of the lyrics of the song, I fully share with you. Regarding Angelina, she is incredible, her voice out of this world, fills my soul with joy. Greetings Becca.
Great reaction Becca and wonderful analysis. Angelina’s Grandma Mery is probably the most important person in her life and her biggest inspiration. It’s only fitting that she appear in her video. Mery is a big jazz fan and introduced Angelina to the music at a very young age so that by the time she was 3 Angelina was studying the jazz greats on TH-cam videos. Mery was a child prodigy in art and poetry. Angelina’s mom Sara has said that Angelina inherited her creativity from her grandmother which would seem to include Angelina’s lyric writing talent. Mery also directed several of Angelina’s early videos. Although this EP was released when Angelina was 17, it is believed that she was actually still 16 when recorded which would mean that she was no more than 16 when she wrote the songs.
I love hearing all this backstory about her grandmother! How special it is to have her in this video! I had a feeling that may be who it was, her grandmother in general, but I didn’t know anything about her grandmother and how much of a role and impact she’s had in her life. Wow! That makes this even MORE beautiful.💕😊
Of track 1 and 2 I prefer NOW IM THE FOOL. These are a similar genre mix however the next tracks seem to move forward through the decades. That is grandma Meri. They are very close. Grandma Meri was also a child prodigy, poet and painter.
Angelina is not talking about a person she is talking about the essence of love as she said " if love had a face " and another example is when Angelina said "if she could look into loves eyes there wouldn't be no place love could hide " and " if love had a heart she would make it beat for her " and finally " if love had a soul it is where her home would be ". Angelina is not talking about the love of a person, but rather love in it's purest unadulterated essence and form, "LOVE ITSELF". (Real love)I
Yes! That’s exactly why I dove into love as an intangible concept the further I got into the song. She is absolutely amazing! I love the anthropomorphic image of love, too. Stellar!💕
@BeccaDoss You must know her first school was a Waldorf school. This type of School is based on the theories of Rudolf Steiner who was teaching the material world as good as the spiritual world . The only way to lighten up your soul is Love 💕. That's her Way you will find in her Songs and her Fans 💞💫
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, anyway, Eugene! As always, your comment here put a smile on my face. I’m probably going to upload one or two more of these reactions from this EP next, and then will likely edit and upload my reaction to the Hi Ren live performance from last July, then finish out this EP and keep diving into more stuff (which of course includes MUCH more Ren, alongside other artists-but I don’t think I’ll ever have a dedicated day of filming where I’m not including at least one Ren, or Ren-adjacent, track on the list of songs to get to that day.😊 I really appreciate your support all around. Thanks for being such a kind human.💕
Your connection with Angelina is unmatched IMO. The LOVE Angelina has for mankind and the human condition is unmatched. She has touched a primal nerve we can all relate to. Search for love and enlightenment that transforms and enriches. !!!! There is something foundational in its richness and completeness with Angelinas music we are unable to process in its entirety. It will take another hundred years to fully comprehend. HOWEVER, YOU have come close.!!!!
This is something I consider a compliment of the highest regard-thank you, Steven. To know that others can feel the emotion on the other side of the screen-and not only that, but can resonate with it and tell me they appreciate it-I struggle to put into words how much that means to me. And I’m not often short on words-that’s how speechless this left me, in the best overwhelming way. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. This means even more after a lifetime of being told I was too sensitive or too emotional or needed to “stop over reacting,” when I was just being my authentic emotional self. This community is such a blessing to me in the way you, and others, are so encouraging and accepting of part of me I felt I had to mask and hide for so long. As far as AJ goes, she continues to astound me, and you said it perfectly: she has struck a chord deep within us in a core human level, and it’s a blessing to be alive to experience it, and to be able to share this experience with wonderful souls like yourself.💕
@@BeccaDoss sweetheart. Becca. I’m growing with each and every personal exchange as an opportunity to hopefully improve my communication skills in my personal life. Unfortunately fear holds me back too often. Giving one another the space and time needed,and choosing our words carefully. Your comments touched me deeply and I appreciate your kindness. May peace, love and power rule your interactions going forward forever. Long live the Queen of jazz. Blessings to all.
Becca, I greatly enjoyed your reaction and analysis to this great original song by Angelina Jordan. You made the song feel fresh to me again, almost the same feeling I got when I first heard it. I think your analysis was spot on and I greatly look forward to your reactions to the rest of the EP. Angelina will be performing two shows at the Westgate Resort and Casino, in Las Vegas, on February 29th. She sounds even better live. I am looking forward to seeing so many angels there and truly wish Becca could attend.
I’m SO glad to hear this, Andy, thank you so much for letting me know you enjoyed it! I’m eager to get the rest of these EP reactions editing and shared! I’m glad I have them all recorded, because it was one heckuva experience to do it all at once (except for All My Fault, which was out of order), so I’m looking forward to sharing them as I’m able to work on the editing widening things.😊 February 29th sounds like it’s gonna be a magical day, indeed!
She really is! I’ve filmed the whole EP reaction, and it blew me away! I can’t wait to work through the editing on the others so I can share them. Thankful to have you here!💕
I enjoy your discussions about her lyrics. Angelina's voice, skill and musical intellect is second to none. Fans and reactors have run out of words worthy of her singing. Her lyrics are of the same genius. You can tell when Grandma Mery videos Angelina, that she is lost in thought and feels very deeply. Angelina talks of love and appreciates and thanks her fans for their love. Angelina has a message of love in a world that seems to be lacking the kind of love that's needed live in peace. Thanks Becca, I'm looking forward to your reaction to the rest of Angelina's EP of positive messages.
Thank you so much! She really is such a special person and artist. One of a kind, for sure! So glad to be in this rabbit hole.😊 Really appreciate you and your kindness and support.💕
Thank you Becca for a great reaction. yes you were spot on with her thoughts on love , , the lady was her beloved Granma Mery that she made sure was in her first video from her first EP with Republic Records, You will love the rest of the EP be prepared for surprises ,great ones and great writing, she is amazing.💜👣
You are so very welcome! How neat that her grandmother was in this video-that is SUCH a special memory!💕 I’ve already filmed the rest of the EP, and you’re right, I LOVE it! Just gonna take me a little time to edit all of it and get it shared, but I’m so eager. She’s amazing.😊

Thank you so much, I’m really thrilled to hear you enjoyed it! I can’t wait to get to editing the rest of the EP reactions I’ve recorded. I really appreciate you taking time not just to watch, but to share all of this here. I’m running short on brain power to reply, but I want you to know I read every word.💕
I love your intros, you do give us happiness, feel less alone and something to laugh with. Content like this helps me so much, I hope you understand how amazing you are Becca. We help each other every day, those of us that seek out people who struggle, suffer, and live day by day in a down and dark place. I find joy and happiness with youtubers like you. Thank you.
Thank you so much, friend. It is a blessing to my heart to know others can even appreciate those sentences I say at the beginning. It really is my goal with this channel, to accomplish one or more do those things and help others feel connected in any way, so it makes me smile any time that’s the case.💕 And I couldn’t do this creation I do without the wonderful community who’s come here, so I really appreciate you being a part of that.😊
Thank you Becca for your intelligent commentary. We have known for a long time that Angelina has a gift of being able to communicate feeling and emotion with her voice and lyrics. But Angelina is not the only one with a gift! You have a gift of being able to understand music in a deeper way. Your enthusiasm and on the spot analysis communicate an appreciation that your viewers likely enjoy as much as listening to Angelina sing here. On another note, her EP tends to have an apparent theme running through from first song to last. It's quite interesting when you think about that and develop an interpretation of the story. Great job! Peace out.
Wow, it takes a lot to render me speechless, but you managed it for a while with the comments, in the best way. Thank you, Ron, these words are so kind and a compliment of the highest regard-I so appreciate you. It’s easy to dive into the rabbit hole when the artist is as wonderful and one-of-a-kind as Angelina is. I’m so, so thankful to have you here, and thrilled to know the emotion is able to be felt through the screen.💕 Heads up: I just posted the reaction to Now I’m a Fool, and I have the others recorded, I just gotta wait to see when I’m able to edit them. 😊
@@BeccaDoss Becca thanks for your kind words. I meant it from my heart. I'm still looking forward to your future reactions on this EP and others. I have a couple of artists in mind to recommend, and would want to know how to do that. Is there a way to request and donate?
@@ronraskindYou’re an awesome human, Ron, I’m so glad you’re here.😊 I haven’t yet set up a system as far as donations for requests goes, but it’s been on my list to get to! I have been meaning to make a post letting anyone who’s interested know that if they want to either join as a channel member here on YT (I’ll probably also have Patreon running in the next 1-2 months so people have their pick of their two membership options if they prefer one over another), or if they want to leave a SuperChat or super thanks on any of these videos (I think that bottom is below each respective video), I will make those reactions a priority when I’m able to film. But you’re also welcome to just share any requests here in the comments, because I have a running playlist where I keep adding anything that gets requested so I don’t lose track of it. In other words, no pressure.😊 I’ll put this here just because I’ve had other ask me: while I do not expect anything financially, if someone does feel led to donate in any way (whether for a reaction request or anything else), the most effective way it can be extremely helpful to me is to donate to my GoFundMe campaign (linked in my video descriptions) so I can continue to access the treatment I’m currently receiving as I try to break free from my eating disorder alongside fighting these chronic illnesses. Again, I share that ONLY if anyone wants to donate and has the means to do that-and I also appreciate any and all support (like the memberships, SuperChats/SuperThanks, or even just your presence here in the comments in general) just as much, so I’m just thrilled to have you here, and wanted to share all the possible options. But always feel free to leave suggestions here in the comments unto I get a more formal form or something sorted out!💕
Another stellar reaction! I love your enthusiasm, your interpretations, your sincerity and most of all the way you feel the music. I love Angelina's voice. For her age, she has a super mature sound, very sultry and smoky. Brilliant! My only problem with her is I can't watch her. I have no rational reason why. I could (and do) listen to her music on repeat, as long as it's only audio. Weird.
I’m so glad you enjoy the lyrical breakdown! It would definitely be easy to get lost in her musicality and just focus on how wonderful her delivery is, but I can’t help myself when it comes to the words, being unable to dig deep into the meaning really lights up my brain. It’s a blessing to me to know that others are able to enjoy it, I really appreciate you taking time to leave this comment and to watch. She really is very special.💕
& the guitar in the back seat is in a few other videos, Suspicious Minds was the first and best by far. Elvis played that exact same model in his 1968 comeback special
Very well done Becca, you nailed it! very perceptive of you. That is exactly how Angelina described her interpretation of this song in an Instagram livestream shortly after the release of the EP.
Becca, Angelina has been writing a journal every day since she was 6, maybe younger, she said her room is filled with bookshelves of her journals. She said she gets all her songs from her journals & that she has written over 100 songs to date. The 6 songs on the "Old Enough" EP, were picked from that pile, so we have a lot more to amaze us. Btw, that was an amazing analysis of the song meaning & your reaction. It took me a long time to figure it all out with the help of reading many comments from "Angels," but you got it on 1st listen. Very impressive & can't wait for more.!!!
I wasn’t expecting to say this, but I actually see a lot of myself in this. I was not nearly quite as advanced as she is in this field at that age, but I have kept a diary/journal since I was 6 (I’m 35), and I’ve got hundreds of poems and songs written all throughout them. All that to say, learning this about her makes me even less surprised I connect with her music so viscerally, because having the soul of a writer is one I know firsthand, and the need to get the words out, ideals in verse or song. It gives me a whole other level of appreciation for the things she’s been able to do so far as such a young age. Absolutely astounding. I’m so glad you enjoyed the analysis! I really love doing these deep dives into the music AND lyrics, and it makes my heart smile when others are able to enjoy the journey with me. Thank you, friend.😊💕
The older Miss Angelina gets, the more difficult it is for her to love everybody. This happens to all of us. She said when she was 8 or so: LOVE IS EVERYTHING.
Thank you for the welcome, it’s so great to be here! (Also super thankful to have you here!😊) Gotta say, that’s the first comparison to Celine I’ve ever gotten, but I appreciate your kindness!💕
Hi Becca, thank you for your analysis because it is absolutely right, you got it. Angelina talks about love as a person, such profound lyrics written by a teenager is incredible. If you consider that the EP with 6 songs is only a small selection of over 100 songs that she says she has already written. So we can look forward to many more beautiful songs with good, intelligent lyrics in the future. Greetings from Germany
Hey Peter, you are so very welcome and it makes my heart smile to know that you were able to enjoy it. I really loved being able to dig into the meaning here, and I’m just so grateful there are others who can appreciate that. She definitely is in a league of her own, and I continue to be astounded with each track of hers I take on. I’m really looking forward to sharing the rest of the EP reactions as I am able to get them edited.💕 So thankful to have you here.
Such a fantastic interpretation Becca. Angelina’s voice is so gorgeous. The deepness of her tone is lush. She reminds me in some ways of the Welsh singer Aimée Anne Duffy known as “Duffy”. I agree she has such maturity, she’s like an old soul with a great deal of wisdom. There’s a neo blues and late 50s sound which really resonates with me.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Beth, as always your support is felt and you make me smile.😊 I’m actually not familiar with Duffy, so this may be a sign I need to start falling down that rabbit hole, too…💕 Thanks for putting her on my radar!
@@BeccaDoss Duffy is a great singer, she’s from Bangor in Wales (very close to Anglesey where Ren is from). Her catalog includes one EP and two studio albums and she was fairly successful. If you do check her out, her most famous hits are Mercy and Warwick Avenue which appear on her first album titled Rockferry which was a massive hit in the UK; and was the fourth best-selling album worldwide in 2008. Unfortunately, Duffy had a very harrowing experience happen in her life which took her away from music for ten years (read Wikipedia for details as I won’t put that in these comments incase it’s triggering for anyone).
What a wonderful interpretation of this song Becca. We all feel her music and lyrics in different ways, the way music is I guess but really loved your take on this. Angelina, besides being a world class vocalists is a wonderful song writer as well, even at this young age. She has said that she has written over 100 songs in her Diary, we have a long ways to go with this young lady. So nice to see you back with Angelina, just subscribed to your channel. Stay well and bring us more Angelina please. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much, Carl. It makes my heart smile to know you enjoyed my take on this. I love how, even at such a young age, she has a gift for writing these lyrics and melodies that can be applicable to so many people in so many ways. I’m thrilled to finally be digging into more of her art.😊💕 I so appreciate you being here! As of now, I’ve got the rest of the EP reaction filmed (I posted All MY Fault before I knew there was a story/theme/order to the EP, but the rest will be coming in order), and as soon as I’m able to get them edited, they’ll be up!
You say geniusness, I say genuisness, as far as I’m concerned, it’s now a word.😉 I’m so glad you’re enjoying these, thank you so much for taking time to let me know. Definitely more on the way!💕
Thanks so much, friend, I am deeply grateful for your kindness. I’m also glad to know you’re enjoying these, it makes me smile. She absolutely is incredible, and I can’t wait to keep diving into more of her stuff once I get the rest of these EP reactions edited and uploaded.💕
@@BeccaDoss thank you for what you do. Her artistry and character as a person is such a blessing. In your own time you may find it worthy to dive into some of her documentaries and interviews, unbelievable stuff
Great reaction! You are one of my favorite reactors to Angelina. Not many reactors take the time to interpret the meaning of her songs. I think a lot of her songs have a deep meaning to them. But, a lot of people just listen to her sing and don’t pay attention to the words of the song. I also like the way you take a deep breadth before each reaction. I take a deep breadth before I listen to her now. It helps you to relax and not get over excited during the reaction. A lot of people get excited and emotional when they listen to her sing. They should all take a deep breadth before they start reacting to her. I think her EP has 1 more video and then 5 or 6 audio only songs. Make sure to pay attention to the words of her audio only songs. You will be amazed with the meanings you get out of them. After you react to her EP you have to react to her cover of Unchained Melody which she performed last month at a Nobel Peace Prize event. It is a must watch.
Thank you so much, friend! Your words mean the world to me. I can totally see how it could be easy to just get caught up on her amazing musicality and delivery, and not necessarily take time to dissect the meaning because it’s easy to be overwhelmed with the beauty, but I just can’t help myself. I’ve always loved words and writing, and the many layers it encompasses, and when that’s paired with music, it’s a puzzle my brain cannot resist going through piece by piece. It’s a blessing to know there are others out there who are able to enjoy it, so I really appreciate you taking time to let me know.💕 And I am SO glad you’ve found the deep breathing helpful-I know sometimes it can seem like such a basic thing, but it really can have such profound effects on helping calm our nervous system, and just helping us relax, in general. Good news! I’ve actually already recorded the whole EP (and like you said, the one other video as well as the audio tracks, which I definitely dove into pretty deeply) and I’ll be uploading the rest in order, just as soon as I’m able to get through the editing process.😊 The exception being All My Fault, which I reacted to about a month ago, before kind souls in the comments gave me a heads up that the EP had a story/theme running throughout, so I’m at least doing all the others in order.💕 Thanks for the recommendation, too, that sounds like a performance that will blow me away.
I want you to know 1. This made me smile, and 2. This made me smile so much I actually chuckled out loud, and then read it to my husband. Thank you so much for the smile/laugh (and for your kind words). Honestly, the cold pack on my head 24/7 has become such a commonplace thing for me that I often forget it’s even there unless someone asks about or mentions it. And when they do, it’s never been in anything other than a kind or curious way, so it’s not like it bothers me at all. In fully aware it’s not the norm!😂 Anyway, I just wanted you to know how much joy your comment brought to my night.💕 Thankful to know you enjoyed this one.
Icepack ? Wtf happened to you ? Husband ? I thought you were like 20 years old. I hope your husband isn't a 60 year old pervert. You got some splainin' to do. ♥️
So good to see you back, Becca! I heard your struggle with the eye muscle and all that stuff. I have been waiting for your next Angelina reaction, because your last one was absolutely great. And this was no different 🙂 I loved your break-down of the meaning. Angelina was 16 when this was recorded 🙂 Keep grinding, and keep your chin up! Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed it! I’ve got the rest of the EP recorded as of now, so I’ll be releasing them in order (other than All My Fault, since I inadvertently did that out of order).😊💕 So thankful to have you here!
Great job, Becca! Glad you enjoyed the EP. I think there is a mix of speaking to a person and to love. It feels like she starts out talking to a person, your touch and your scent still on my skin, but shifts to speaking to love itself. Others have mentioned Angelina’s grandmother. What may not have been mentioned is the extremely close relationship the two of them have always had. Angelina’s grandma is Mery Zamani, an Iranian painter and poet, who was a child prodigy herself. Angelina still enjoys creating art with her. Mery is responsible for much of the video of young Angelina and produced many of her videos. I’m really looking forward to your take on the rest of the EP.
Thanks, Gary! I am so glad I finally got to this EP, without soiling anything from my end, just know it was quite a ride as far as the reactions go, and I’m super eager to get them edited so I can share them, as soon as health allows. That is such an interesting backstory with her grandmother, and it’s obvious their relationship is extremely special-I LOVE that she included her in this video. What a wonderful way to honor such a special and influential person in her life.
Great reaction. AJ (originally from Oslo) is in LA, begging for the love she's known all her life to be sustained through the trappings of fame and fortune of Hollywood.
Wow. Loved your reaction. Of the many scores of reactors I've listened to, you stand alone in your ability to analyze the meaning and intention of the lyrics. Great job!
This is such a huge compliment, thank you so much! I’m thrilled to know you enjoyed this one, and I hope you enjoy the rest to come!😊 I geek out over lyrics dissection, so it’s a blessing to be able to share it with others who love it, too.💕
Thank you so much! Yep, I bleed blue, through and through! (Have multiple close family members up there in the NKY/Cincy area, though!)💕 So glad to have you here!
Dear Becca, AJ herself says, she does not feel like he bodys age. I met children like her. One moment to talk to a six year old, and the next you are conversing with a university professor of over 40 years. Even her body today seems much more like a 25 year old. Respectful and sincere greetings from Germany
For more information on Angelina’s history, see Angelina Jordan’s Wikipedia Page - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelina_Jordan 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 an Elvis cover ‘Suspicious Minds’ - th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html - this will show you how her voice and presence has developed. 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 her 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 - 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 to her. At Age 16 she has three new covers. The newest and the best is an Elvis cover ‘Suspicious Minds’ - th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html She has released a new version of I Have Nothing - th-cam.com/video/iX0g99jN26U/w-d-xo.html - which is probably the best song she has done so far. The other is ‘My Funny Valentine - th-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/w-d-xo.html Angelina dropped her latest song on May 5th 2023 it is the first song off her new album which will be out soon. The name of the song is ‘Love Don’t Let Me Go’ - th-cam.com/video/1U6WY_z8Vu8/w-d-xo.html - She wrote the song and in an interview said that all of the songs on the new album will be songs she wrote and had a major part in their arrangements. 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 Angelina's videos which has over 200,000 views (Angelina Jordan Playlist by Terry M.)
I was wondering if anyone with an eating disorder would have trouble watching Cooking Channels or could that help. Sorry not trying to be rude, just curious. Thank You for your reaction!
I don’t think this is rude at all, I actually think it’s a great question! I will say, there’s a lot of complexity and nuance in the answer, and my brain is not at its best right now, but I’m commenting here to let you know I plan to come back and answer more fully when I’m able to put my thoughts together. If I haven’t been able to get back to you in a couple/few days, definitely feel free to give me a nudge, because I don’t want to forget.💕
How many teenagers do you know when given the ability to make a music video choose to include their grandmother. This just shows how strongly her family is connected. You see it in the interactions with her sister, mother, and grandmother in all her TikTok videos.
Such a great point! It speaks volumes to her entire family dynamic and the souls of all of them-absolutely a connection unlike few/any others. And how beautiful that is to witness!💕
Thank you.
And for introducing me to this song
Wow, I see this place is full of Angels.
And It sounds like Heaven.
All Becca'use of YOU!
You are so very welcome! As always, I appreciate your constant encouragement and support, and it’s a blessing to be able to share some new music with you, as I am also discovering it.😊
I think it goes without saying (but that’s not gonna stop me from saying it), I obviously love the intentionality behind your word choice and meanings in your comment. Both with the angels/heaven metaphor, and also with that last line. That one in particular really made me smile.💕 I couldn’t do this without the wonderful souls who have continued to show support here, so I’m equally as thankful for this community (which obviously includes YOU).
Great reaction Becca. A little more about Angelina’s Grandma, *Mery Zamani.* Mery was there when it was discovered that Angelina could sing… at 1-1/2 years old! Since then, Mery has been behind the camera filming her beloved granddaughter. It was Mery who introduced Angelina to jazz music and Mery produced and directed all of Angelina’s early videos. It is my belief that the two of them share one soul… they are that much alike.
Mery was born in Iran and she was a child prodigy herself… being a painter and poet at the age of SIX.
Angelina has said of her Grandma: “…She’s my inspiration, my best friend… my *everything.”*
In light of this strong bond, it’s no wonder this seventeen year old included her dear Grandma in the first video of her EP.
I love your analysis (particularly of the lyrical content - you’re very astute and insightful). I am REALLY looking forward to you discovering the rest of Angelina’s EP “Old Enough.” 💛💛🫶💛💛 🎶🖤👣
I am so thankful you’re here, and it makes me really happy to know you’ve enjoyed the deep dive into the dissection of the lyrics. It would be totally easy to just get wrapped up in the beauty of her performance and musicality, but I can’t help myself when it comes to the words, Trying to dig deep and dissect meaning really lights up my brain, and it is an absolute blessing to be able to share that with other people who enjoy it.
Thank you so much for adding that information about her grandmother, that just adds a whole deeper layer of special to this song, and to a lot of her life in general, and it’s been so fun learning that backstory.
Keep an eye out- I’ve got reactions to the rest of the EP recorded, I just haven’t quite yet had time or energy to edit them, but will be doing so as soon as health allows! Really appreciate you.💕
Hello Becca, it's always nice to see you and listen to you. A perfect and intelligent analysis of the lyrics of the song, I fully share with you. Regarding Angelina, she is incredible, her voice out of this world, fills my soul with joy. Greetings Becca.
I’m so glad you enjoyed this one, friend! Thank you! She is absolutely wonderful.💕
Great reaction Becca and wonderful analysis.
Angelina’s Grandma Mery is probably the most important person in her life and her biggest inspiration. It’s only fitting that she appear in her video.
Mery is a big jazz fan and introduced Angelina to the music at a very young age so that by the time she was 3 Angelina was studying the jazz greats on TH-cam videos.
Mery was a child prodigy in art and poetry. Angelina’s mom Sara has said that Angelina inherited her creativity from her grandmother which would seem to include Angelina’s lyric writing talent.
Mery also directed several of Angelina’s early videos.
Although this EP was released when Angelina was 17, it is believed that she was actually still 16 when recorded which would mean that she was no more than 16 when she wrote the songs.
I love hearing all this backstory about her grandmother! How special it is to have her in this video! I had a feeling that may be who it was, her grandmother in general, but I didn’t know anything about her grandmother and how much of a role and impact she’s had in her life. Wow! That makes this even MORE beautiful.💕😊
Of track 1 and 2 I prefer NOW IM THE FOOL. These are a similar genre mix however the next tracks seem to move forward through the decades. That is grandma Meri. They are very close. Grandma Meri was also a child prodigy, poet and painter.
So cool to learn about her grandmother! Now I’m The Fool will be the next AJ reaction I upload as soon as I’m able to edit it.💕
Enjoyed your reaction thumbs up 👍
Angelina is not talking about a person she is talking about the essence of love as she said " if love had a face " and another example is when Angelina said "if she could look into loves eyes there wouldn't be no place love could hide " and " if love had a heart she would make it beat for her " and finally " if love had a soul it is where her home would be ". Angelina is not talking about the love of a person, but rather love in it's purest unadulterated essence and form, "LOVE ITSELF". (Real love)I
Yes! That’s exactly why I dove into love as an intangible concept the further I got into the song. She is absolutely amazing! I love the anthropomorphic image of love, too. Stellar!💕
@BeccaDoss You must know her first school was a Waldorf school. This type of School is based on the theories of Rudolf Steiner who was teaching the material world as good as the spiritual world . The only way to lighten up your soul is Love 💕. That's her Way you will find in her Songs and her Fans 💞💫
Not Ren, not 40 minutes long, but still a vintage Becca gem of a reaction to a wonderful song! Thank you!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, anyway, Eugene! As always, your comment here put a smile on my face. I’m probably going to upload one or two more of these reactions from this EP next, and then will likely edit and upload my reaction to the Hi Ren live performance from last July, then finish out this EP and keep diving into more stuff (which of course includes MUCH more Ren, alongside other artists-but I don’t think I’ll ever have a dedicated day of filming where I’m not including at least one Ren, or Ren-adjacent, track on the list of songs to get to that day.😊 I really appreciate your support all around. Thanks for being such a kind human.💕
Your connection with Angelina is unmatched IMO. The LOVE Angelina has for mankind and the human condition is unmatched. She has touched a primal nerve we can all relate to. Search for love and enlightenment that transforms and enriches. !!!! There is something foundational in its richness and completeness with Angelinas music we are unable to process in its entirety. It will take another hundred years to fully comprehend. HOWEVER, YOU have come close.!!!!
This is something I consider a compliment of the highest regard-thank you, Steven. To know that others can feel the emotion on the other side of the screen-and not only that, but can resonate with it and tell me they appreciate it-I struggle to put into words how much that means to me. And I’m not often short on words-that’s how speechless this left me, in the best overwhelming way. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
This means even more after a lifetime of being told I was too sensitive or too emotional or needed to “stop over reacting,” when I was just being my authentic emotional self.
This community is such a blessing to me in the way you, and others, are so encouraging and accepting of part of me I felt I had to mask and hide for so long.
As far as AJ goes, she continues to astound me, and you said it perfectly: she has struck a chord deep within us in a core human level, and it’s a blessing to be alive to experience it, and to be able to share this experience with wonderful souls like yourself.💕
@@BeccaDoss sweetheart. Becca. I’m growing with each and every personal exchange as an opportunity to hopefully improve my communication skills in my personal life. Unfortunately fear holds me back too often.
Giving one another the space and time needed,and choosing our words carefully. Your comments touched me deeply and I appreciate your kindness.
May peace, love and power rule your interactions going forward forever.
Long live the Queen of jazz. Blessings to all.
She is actually talking to love itself
That’s kind of where my mind went eventually, just took a little while to settle there.💕
As Caroline said it was grandma Mery, her mentor BFF and so much more. Ohh "little Angelina is now around 6,1 ft tall, or a bit taller.😁🙃😇
Becca, I greatly enjoyed your reaction and analysis to this great original song by Angelina Jordan. You made the song feel fresh to me again, almost the same feeling I got when I first heard it. I think your analysis was spot on and I greatly look forward to your reactions to the rest of the EP.
Angelina will be performing two shows at the Westgate Resort and Casino, in Las Vegas, on February 29th. She sounds even better live. I am looking forward to seeing so many angels there and truly wish Becca could attend.
I’m SO glad to hear this, Andy, thank you so much for letting me know you enjoyed it! I’m eager to get the rest of these EP reactions editing and shared! I’m glad I have them all recorded, because it was one heckuva experience to do it all at once (except for All My Fault, which was out of order), so I’m looking forward to sharing them as I’m able to work on the editing widening things.😊 February 29th sounds like it’s gonna be a magical day, indeed!
Excellent break down of the song. Good job
Thank you, Peter! I appreciate you.💕
She's an a amazing song writer. The EP she dropped is amazing..it's all originals. And her jazzy christmas EP.
She really is! I’ve filmed the whole EP reaction, and it blew me away! I can’t wait to work through the editing on the others so I can share them. Thankful to have you here!💕
I enjoy your discussions about her lyrics. Angelina's voice, skill and musical intellect is second to none. Fans and reactors have run out of words worthy of her singing. Her lyrics are of the same genius. You can tell when Grandma Mery videos Angelina, that she is lost in thought and feels very deeply.
Angelina talks of love and appreciates and thanks her fans for their love. Angelina has a message of love in a world that seems to be lacking the kind of love that's needed live in peace.
Thanks Becca, I'm looking forward to your reaction to the rest of Angelina's EP of positive messages.
Thank you so much! She really is such a special person and artist. One of a kind, for sure! So glad to be in this rabbit hole.😊 Really appreciate you and your kindness and support.💕
Thank you Becca for a great reaction. yes you were spot on with her thoughts on love , , the lady was her beloved Granma Mery that she made sure was in her first video from her first EP with Republic Records, You will love the rest of the EP be prepared for surprises ,great ones and great writing, she is amazing.💜👣
You are so very welcome! How neat that her grandmother was in this video-that is SUCH a special memory!💕 I’ve already filmed the rest of the EP, and you’re right, I LOVE it! Just gonna take me a little time to edit all of it and get it shared, but I’m so eager. She’s amazing.😊

Thank you so much, I’m really thrilled to hear you enjoyed it! I can’t wait to get to editing the rest of the EP reactions I’ve recorded. I really appreciate you taking time not just to watch, but to share all of this here. I’m running short on brain power to reply, but I want you to know I read every word.💕
I love your intros, you do give us happiness, feel less alone and something to laugh with. Content like this helps me so much, I hope you understand how amazing you are Becca. We help each other every day, those of us that seek out people who struggle, suffer, and live day by day in a down and dark place. I find joy and happiness with youtubers like you. Thank you.
Thank you so much, friend. It is a blessing to my heart to know others can even appreciate those sentences I say at the beginning. It really is my goal with this channel, to accomplish one or more do those things and help others feel connected in any way, so it makes me smile any time that’s the case.💕 And I couldn’t do this creation I do without the wonderful community who’s come here, so I really appreciate you being a part of that.😊
@@BeccaDossThanks for the reply, it made my day.
As did yours.♥️🫶🏼
Thank you Becca for your intelligent commentary. We have known for a long time that Angelina has a gift of being able to communicate feeling and emotion with her voice and lyrics. But Angelina is not the only one with a gift! You have a gift of being able to understand music in a deeper way. Your enthusiasm and on the spot analysis communicate an appreciation that your viewers likely enjoy as much as listening to Angelina sing here.
On another note, her EP tends to have an apparent theme running through from first song to last. It's quite interesting when you think about that and develop an interpretation of the story.
Great job! Peace out.
Wow, it takes a lot to render me speechless, but you managed it for a while with the comments, in the best way. Thank you, Ron, these words are so kind and a compliment of the highest regard-I so appreciate you. It’s easy to dive into the rabbit hole when the artist is as wonderful and one-of-a-kind as Angelina is. I’m so, so thankful to have you here, and thrilled to know the emotion is able to be felt through the screen.💕
Heads up: I just posted the reaction to Now I’m a Fool, and I have the others recorded, I just gotta wait to see when I’m able to edit them. 😊
@@BeccaDoss Becca thanks for your kind words. I meant it from my heart. I'm still looking forward to your future reactions on this EP and others. I have a couple of artists in mind to recommend, and would want to know how to do that. Is there a way to request and donate?
@@ronraskindYou’re an awesome human, Ron, I’m so glad you’re here.😊 I haven’t yet set up a system as far as donations for requests goes, but it’s been on my list to get to! I have been meaning to make a post letting anyone who’s interested know that if they want to either join as a channel member here on YT (I’ll probably also have Patreon running in the next 1-2 months so people have their pick of their two membership options if they prefer one over another), or if they want to leave a SuperChat or super thanks on any of these videos (I think that bottom is below each respective video), I will make those reactions a priority when I’m able to film.
But you’re also welcome to just share any requests here in the comments, because I have a running playlist where I keep adding anything that gets requested so I don’t lose track of it. In other words, no pressure.😊
I’ll put this here just because I’ve had other ask me: while I do not expect anything financially, if someone does feel led to donate in any way (whether for a reaction request or anything else), the most effective way it can be extremely helpful to me is to donate to my GoFundMe campaign (linked in my video descriptions) so I can continue to access the treatment I’m currently receiving as I try to break free from my eating disorder alongside fighting these chronic illnesses.
Again, I share that ONLY if anyone wants to donate and has the means to do that-and I also appreciate any and all support (like the memberships, SuperChats/SuperThanks, or even just your presence here in the comments in general) just as much, so I’m just thrilled to have you here, and wanted to share all the possible options.
But always feel free to leave suggestions here in the comments unto I get a more formal form or something sorted out!💕
Becca, thanks for your awesome response. Please check your FM.
This is the first track of this album is this song put records join 14 years ago to 70 years now everything is cooperating her name Jordan
Becca, that is a brilliant interpretation of the lyrics of this amazing song . You are a very intelligent person.
Thank you so much for such a kind comment, Victor, I’m so glad you enjoyed it.😊
Another stellar reaction! I love your enthusiasm, your interpretations, your sincerity and most of all the way you feel the music. I love Angelina's voice. For her age, she has a super mature sound, very sultry and smoky. Brilliant! My only problem with her is I can't watch her. I have no rational reason why. I could (and do) listen to her music on repeat, as long as it's only audio. Weird.
Woh at last somewone how lisse too the liricks, Angelina is the composer and writer from the song, she is speciale!👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m so glad you enjoy the lyrical breakdown! It would definitely be easy to get lost in her musicality and just focus on how wonderful her delivery is, but I can’t help myself when it comes to the words, being unable to dig deep into the meaning really lights up my brain.
It’s a blessing to me to know that others are able to enjoy it, I really appreciate you taking time to leave this comment and to watch. She really is very special.💕
Really good analysis of this beautiful song. Thank you.
And the way Angelina is singing it - I can't listen to it without emotional tears in my eyes.
& the guitar in the back seat is in a few other videos, Suspicious Minds was the first and best by far. Elvis played that exact same model in his 1968 comeback special
Whoa, now THAT is a cool trivia fact I totally missed! Thanks for adding it here!😁💕
Very well done Becca, you nailed it! very perceptive of you. That is exactly how Angelina described her interpretation of this song in an Instagram livestream shortly after the release of the EP.
Thank you, Jeff! I really appreciate your support and encouragement. This young woman is absolutely blowing me away across the board!💕
Becca, Angelina has been writing a journal every day since she was 6, maybe younger, she said her room is filled with bookshelves of her journals. She said she gets all her songs from her journals & that she has written over 100 songs to date. The 6 songs on the "Old Enough" EP, were picked from that pile, so we have a lot more to amaze us. Btw, that was an amazing analysis of the song meaning & your reaction. It took me a long time to figure it all out with the help of reading many comments from "Angels," but you got it on 1st listen. Very impressive & can't wait for more.!!!
I wasn’t expecting to say this, but I actually see a lot of myself in this. I was not nearly quite as advanced as she is in this field at that age, but I have kept a diary/journal since I was 6 (I’m 35), and I’ve got hundreds of poems and songs written all throughout them.
All that to say, learning this about her makes me even less surprised I connect with her music so viscerally, because having the soul of a writer is one I know firsthand, and the need to get the words out, ideals in verse or song.
It gives me a whole other level of appreciation for the things she’s been able to do so far as such a young age. Absolutely astounding.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the analysis! I really love doing these deep dives into the music AND lyrics, and it makes my heart smile when others are able to enjoy the journey with me. Thank you, friend.😊💕
What a wonderful reaction. You are so spot on Becca. Ann from Norway
Thank you so much, Ann, I really appreciate your encouragement and support, and I’m glad to know you were able to enjoy this one.😊💕
It's her incredible grand mother
If u want to experoence her live she will hold a concert in Vegas on February 29 ❤
Thank you for the info! I unfortunately can’t travel, but I’m super excited for anyone who’s able to make it-I know it’ll be a magical evening!💕
She was writing songs since childhood. She said more than 100 songs.
The older Miss Angelina gets, the more difficult it is for her to love everybody. This happens to all of us. She said when she was 8 or so: LOVE IS EVERYTHING.
What a voice she has! And such presence, especially at 17!! That’s truly incredible. ❤
Great reaction! I really enjoyed it.🎼👍🏼💞🤗
Thank you so much, friend! It brings me joy to know that you were able to enjoy this one.😊💕
That’s her grandmother in the car
It's her. Grandmother in the car with her.
Thank you! I thought that might be it, but I didn’t want to say it without being 100% sure!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Welcome to angelina jordan journey... u look like celine dion... nice reaction!!!
Thank you for the welcome, it’s so great to be here! (Also super thankful to have you here!😊) Gotta say, that’s the first comparison to Celine I’ve ever gotten, but I appreciate your kindness!💕
Hi Becca, thank you for your analysis because it is absolutely right, you got it. Angelina talks about love as a person, such profound lyrics written by a teenager is incredible. If you consider that the EP with 6 songs is only a small selection of over 100 songs that she says she has already written. So we can look forward to many more beautiful songs with good, intelligent lyrics in the future. Greetings from Germany
Hey Peter, you are so very welcome and it makes my heart smile to know that you were able to enjoy it. I really loved being able to dig into the meaning here, and I’m just so grateful there are others who can appreciate that.
She definitely is in a league of her own, and I continue to be astounded with each track of hers I take on. I’m really looking forward to sharing the rest of the EP reactions as I am able to get them edited.💕 So thankful to have you here.
She's the greatest since Elvis !!!
She’s definitely in a league of her own, that’s for sure! Absolutely amazing!💕
Such a fantastic interpretation Becca. Angelina’s voice is so gorgeous. The deepness of her tone is lush. She reminds me in some ways of the Welsh singer Aimée Anne Duffy known as “Duffy”. I agree she has such maturity, she’s like an old soul with a great deal of wisdom. There’s a neo blues and late 50s sound which really resonates with me.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Beth, as always your support is felt and you make me smile.😊 I’m actually not familiar with Duffy, so this may be a sign I need to start falling down that rabbit hole, too…💕 Thanks for putting her on my radar!
@@BeccaDoss Duffy is a great singer, she’s from Bangor in Wales (very close to Anglesey where Ren is from). Her catalog includes one EP and two studio albums and she was fairly successful. If you do check her out, her most famous hits are Mercy and Warwick Avenue which appear on her first album titled Rockferry which was a massive hit in the UK; and was the fourth best-selling album worldwide in 2008. Unfortunately, Duffy had a very harrowing experience happen in her life which took her away from music for ten years (read Wikipedia for details as I won’t put that in these comments incase it’s triggering for anyone).
What a wonderful interpretation of this song Becca. We all feel her music and lyrics in different ways, the way music is I guess but really loved your take on this. Angelina, besides being a world class vocalists is a wonderful song writer as well, even at this young age. She has said that she has written over 100 songs in her Diary, we have a long ways to go with this young lady. So nice to see you back with Angelina, just subscribed to your channel. Stay well and bring us more Angelina please. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much, Carl. It makes my heart smile to know you enjoyed my take on this. I love how, even at such a young age, she has a gift for writing these lyrics and melodies that can be applicable to so many people in so many ways. I’m thrilled to finally be digging into more of her art.😊💕 I so appreciate you being here! As of now, I’ve got the rest of the EP reaction filmed (I posted All MY Fault before I knew there was a story/theme/order to the EP, but the rest will be coming in order), and as soon as I’m able to get them edited, they’ll be up!
@@BeccaDoss thanks Becca...looking forward to it.
I enjoy your enthusiasm toward Angelina and her geniusness. ( autocorrect let me do that. 🤫) keep em coming Becca.
You say geniusness, I say genuisness, as far as I’m concerned, it’s now a word.😉 I’m so glad you’re enjoying these, thank you so much for taking time to let me know. Definitely more on the way!💕
Geez Becca your commentary on Angelina is spot on, so incredible. Angelina’s incredible. Your reactions to Angelina are incredible. lol take care
Thanks so much, friend, I am deeply grateful for your kindness. I’m also glad to know you’re enjoying these, it makes me smile. She absolutely is incredible, and I can’t wait to keep diving into more of her stuff once I get the rest of these EP reactions edited and uploaded.💕
@@BeccaDoss thank you for what you do. Her artistry and character as a person is such a blessing. In your own time you may find it worthy to dive into some of her documentaries and interviews, unbelievable stuff
😮 Young miss Angelina never ceases to amaze she was awesome when she was young, age 6 n 7 n 8 , And now at ages 17 & 18.❤😊 .
Great reaction! You are one of my favorite reactors to Angelina. Not many reactors take the time to interpret the meaning of her songs. I think a lot of her songs have a deep meaning to them. But, a lot of people just listen to her sing and don’t pay attention to the words of the song. I also like the way you take a deep breadth before each reaction. I take a deep breadth before I listen to her now. It helps you to relax and not get over excited during the reaction. A lot of people get excited and emotional when they listen to her sing. They should all take a deep breadth before they start reacting to her. I think her EP has 1 more video and then 5 or 6 audio only songs. Make sure to pay attention to the words of her audio only songs. You will be amazed with the meanings you get out of them. After you react to her EP you have to react to her cover of Unchained Melody which she performed last month at a Nobel Peace Prize event. It is a must watch.
Thank you so much, friend! Your words mean the world to me. I can totally see how it could be easy to just get caught up on her amazing musicality and delivery, and not necessarily take time to dissect the meaning because it’s easy to be overwhelmed with the beauty, but I just can’t help myself.
I’ve always loved words and writing, and the many layers it encompasses, and when that’s paired with music, it’s a puzzle my brain cannot resist going through piece by piece.
It’s a blessing to know there are others out there who are able to enjoy it, so I really appreciate you taking time to let me know.💕
And I am SO glad you’ve found the deep breathing helpful-I know sometimes it can seem like such a basic thing, but it really can have such profound effects on helping calm our nervous system, and just helping us relax, in general.
Good news! I’ve actually already recorded the whole EP (and like you said, the one other video as well as the audio tracks, which I definitely dove into pretty deeply) and I’ll be uploading the rest in order, just as soon as I’m able to get through the editing process.😊 The exception being All My Fault, which I reacted to about a month ago, before kind souls in the comments gave me a heads up that the EP had a story/theme running throughout, so I’m at least doing all the others in order.💕
Thanks for the recommendation, too, that sounds like a performance that will blow me away.
Thank you! 😊😊
You’re so welcome! Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed it!💕
Nice reaction headband girl. 👍❤️
I want you to know 1. This made me smile, and 2. This made me smile so much I actually chuckled out loud, and then read it to my husband. Thank you so much for the smile/laugh (and for your kind words).
Honestly, the cold pack on my head 24/7 has become such a commonplace thing for me that I often forget it’s even there unless someone asks about or mentions it. And when they do, it’s never been in anything other than a kind or curious way, so it’s not like it bothers me at all. In fully aware it’s not the norm!😂 Anyway, I just wanted you to know how much joy your comment brought to my night.💕 Thankful to know you enjoyed this one.
Icepack ? Wtf happened to you ? Husband ? I thought you were like 20 years old. I hope your husband isn't a 60 year old pervert. You got some splainin' to do. ♥️
Jesus, I hope there's nothing bad wrong with you. A nice girl like you shouldn't have to deal with this bullshit. 😠
So good to see you back, Becca! I heard your struggle with the eye muscle and all that stuff. I have been waiting for your next Angelina reaction, because your last one was absolutely great. And this was no different 🙂 I loved your break-down of the meaning. Angelina was 16 when this was recorded 🙂 Keep grinding, and keep your chin up! Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed it! I’ve got the rest of the EP recorded as of now, so I’ll be releasing them in order (other than All My Fault, since I inadvertently did that out of order).😊💕 So thankful to have you here!
❤❤❤
@@BeccaDoss Awesome! I'm looking very much forward to it 🙂 Again, I really love your analysis. Top notch 🔥🔥🔥
@@Hundhammer 😊👍
Great job, Becca! Glad you enjoyed the EP. I think there is a mix of speaking to a person and to love. It feels like she starts out talking to a person, your touch and your scent still on my skin, but shifts to speaking to love itself.
Others have mentioned Angelina’s grandmother. What may not have been mentioned is the extremely close relationship the two of them have always had. Angelina’s grandma is Mery Zamani, an Iranian painter and poet, who was a child prodigy herself. Angelina still enjoys creating art with her. Mery is responsible for much of the video of young Angelina and produced many of her videos.
I’m really looking forward to your take on the rest of the EP.
Thanks, Gary! I am so glad I finally got to this EP, without soiling anything from my end, just know it was quite a ride as far as the reactions go, and I’m super eager to get them edited so I can share them, as soon as health allows.
That is such an interesting backstory with her grandmother, and it’s obvious their relationship is extremely special-I LOVE that she included her in this video. What a wonderful way to honor such a special and influential person in her life.
@@BeccaDoss Anxious as I am to see the rest of them, take care of yourself first. 🫰
*NEW* Angelina Jordan: Don't mess with this girl! th-cam.com/users/shortsNb-A11k6wkE
Thanks for the heads up!💕
Haha. Those eyes....
Awesome discussion, truly AWESOME!
Great reaction. AJ (originally from Oslo) is in LA, begging for the love she's known all her life to be sustained through the trappings of fame and fortune of Hollywood.
🥰
💕🫶🏼
Wow. Loved your reaction. Of the many scores of reactors I've listened to, you stand alone in your ability to analyze the meaning and intention of the lyrics. Great job!
This is such a huge compliment, thank you so much! I’m thrilled to know you enjoyed this one, and I hope you enjoy the rest to come!😊 I geek out over lyrics dissection, so it’s a blessing to be able to share it with others who love it, too.💕
Great, reaction Becca. Kentucky wildcats? Cinti here!
Thank you so much! Yep, I bleed blue, through and through! (Have multiple close family members up there in the NKY/Cincy area, though!)💕 So glad to have you here!
You have broken down her concept beautifully!
Thank you! She really captured some deep messages here, and I love being able to dive in like that. I really appreciate you.💕
Dear Becca, AJ herself says, she does not feel like he bodys age. I met children like her. One moment to talk to a six year old, and the next you are conversing with a university professor of over 40 years. Even her body today seems much more like a 25 year old.
Respectful and sincere greetings from Germany
😀😀😀😀😀

And now you also have to see Angelina Jordan's version of Valerie - th-cam.com/video/vx3Hr_BRe0I/w-d-xo.html 😊😊😊

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 an Elvis cover ‘Suspicious Minds’ - th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html - this will show you how her voice and presence has developed.
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 her 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 - 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 to her.
At Age 16 she has three new covers.
The newest and the best is an Elvis cover ‘Suspicious Minds’ - th-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/w-d-xo.html
She has released a new version of I Have Nothing - th-cam.com/video/iX0g99jN26U/w-d-xo.html - which is probably the best song she has done so far.
The other is ‘My Funny Valentine - th-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/w-d-xo.html
Angelina dropped her latest song on May 5th 2023 it is the first song off her new album which will be out soon. The name of the song is ‘Love Don’t Let Me Go’ - th-cam.com/video/1U6WY_z8Vu8/w-d-xo.html - She wrote the song and in an interview said that all of the songs on the new album will be songs she wrote and had a major part in their arrangements.
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 Angelina's videos which has over 200,000 views (Angelina Jordan Playlist by Terry M.)
I was wondering if anyone with an eating disorder would have trouble watching Cooking Channels or could that help. Sorry not trying to be rude, just curious. Thank You for your reaction!
I don’t think this is rude at all, I actually think it’s a great question! I will say, there’s a lot of complexity and nuance in the answer, and my brain is not at its best right now, but I’m commenting here to let you know I plan to come back and answer more fully when I’m able to put my thoughts together. If I haven’t been able to get back to you in a couple/few days, definitely feel free to give me a nudge, because I don’t want to forget.💕
Not a problem, take good care!@@BeccaDoss
