Well quick something i want to say, in this reaction i was very tired and maybe i should've recorded this a different day but still i wanted to do it. I gotta say tho after i heard Angelina i got back haha , she is incredible. Please make sure to request some more next stop 12 Years Old!!!
I bet she just walked up and sang that song in one take without practice. That's what she does. She's been singing this song since she was six, or earlier. Great reaction! 😎🇺🇲👍🌟💯
She is indeed incredible, she is known for listening to songs a few times and then recording in one or two takes, she sang this acapella at 8, her second appearance on Norways Got Talent, it’s worth a listen. Thanks for continuing with Angelina, there is no other singer like her on the planet…past or present.
Great reaction. You are right about everything about her development in many stages. However, this development can only be compared to Angelina Jordan herself. No one comes close to her abilities at a given age, and many so-called singers will not achieve it even if they have many years of experience. Greetings from Poland:) 😀😀😀😀😀
She does almost all of her songs in one or two takes. Often while reading the lyrics because it’s a new song for her. As good as her studio performances are her live performances are even better.
@@RadioTeo She is about to burst out into the world. Last Monday Angelina sang the FIFA song at the FIFA Best Awards for 2022 in Paris, estimated to have been viewed by 300 million people - th-cam.com/video/usIdSbd1jPw/w-d-xo.html While the FIFA gig is obviously huge, other signs of increasing influence are also important. A couple days ago the Light Music Club of the Rikkyo University, Japan, posted their concert covering Angelina's versions, explicitly, of classic songs, such as When You're Smiling, Feelin' Good, Billie's All of Me, Summertime and Back to Black. th-cam.com/video/GHpOsS35svQ/w-d-xo.html It should be noted that the singer performs barefoot, wearing a white dress and a flower crown!
Great TI review!! Billy Holiday was a wonderful jezzist and for Angelina she was a very important point of reference especially at a very young age, of course you need to have Angelina's talent to re-propose these masterpieces and it is wonderful that this creature proposes this type of songs in a current world full of bad songs and singers, thanks again..Massimo
Great reaction, Teo.... You are right about her qualities and how much she improves her voice and how much we can see she works in each song so hard to reach this amazing musical level. Peace and love from Brazil 👣Pedro
Thank you for thanking us. Hard to believe an 11 year old pre teen could understand the emotions that Billy Holiday put into this very personal song that Frank Sinatra contributed to. Great reaction and please enjoy your journey with us on the Angelina Jordan express
I’ve watched a gazillion AJ reactors. You’re awesome and I love your year by year approach. You need to ramp up tho. With her recent FIFA Awards performance (300 million viewers) and a single expected in April, with the album in the fall , she’s poised to explode. I can’t wait!
THAT was Mery Zamany, her mento,best friend and grandmother (mother of her mom Sarah). Merys husband and Angelina´s beloved grandfather was a true japanese gentleman. Elmar from Germany
Just think how focused a person would have to be to pull this off. Then we have Angelina Jordan who is able to play to the camera in a rather nonchalant way while creating a cover that is extraordinary. Who can understand the mysteries in this universe?
Thanks a lot for checking it out, m8. I think you did an excellent reaction 👍 The elderly lady you saw in the end of the video is her grandmother, Mery Zamani. She is the main person behind Angelina and the main reason why she is where she is. Whenever you see a video of Angelina like this it was always her grandmother behind the camera. Angelina has an extremely tight bond with her grandmother. I am looking forward to your next reaction to Angelina. Much Love from Norway 🇸🇯❤️🔥
You are doing well, I like your approach. Well-chosen song for 2017. The only "trap" with this is Angelina's versatility - you may easily catch a non-typical performance (e.g. Above the water). As always, it's hard to decide what describes her at 12yo best. If I could only recommend one song this year, it would be "Stay". A lot happened this year 2018, she moved to LA leaving behind her hometown of Oslo and most of her friends in Norway. Her artistic development over the year is impressive. There's the incredible release concert for her album It's Magic - specifically It's a Men's World - for which she should have earned a nomination for Best Performance of a James Brown Song by a Woman award. Then the orchestral rehearsal for Quincy Jones' birthday concert (Fly me to the moon), but that could be saved for the "famous rehearsals" section later. Plus her touching tribute to her late friend Avicii (Wake me up), but that could also be read under the tributes section. Not to mention their own original "Shield" - but that would just as well be in the "Originals" section. But "Stay" is the greatest emotionally, it's intensely touching and incredibly awesome.
I really appreciate that you took the time to listen to Billie Holiday's original, before you did this reaction. I wish more reactors would do the same, but some seem to think total ignorance of Angelina & the legends she is covering is the way to go. I much prefer your method.
The older woman was AJ's grandmother, Mery. Her grandmother, Mery Zamani, is in the studio encouraging her. Mery Zamani was a child prodigy, and is famous artist/poet, and has been a major force in AJ's upbringing.
I really enjoy your reactions man, you are right, she works at her craft, it's not what a lot of people think that she was born with it all. btw what is the story with that room, it looks strange.
Well it use to be a terrace or i don't know the word in english. Basically just a place where we used to dry our clothes but we turned it into a room and it became my room
Billie Holiday is Angelina's FAVORITE artist... Younger than 7yrs old, (when she sang "2" Billie Holiday songs for NGT) she'd been obsessed with her voice, and became enamored with the genre. There's a video, in which part of it, her Mom takes her to a record store and she chooses a Billie album.. of course the owner was really impressed... Angelina very much gives tribute to Billie, but adds a nuance here and there that is her spontaneous way of putting her touch on it. To say her performance is amazing, or unexplainable is truly an understatement.. it's GENIUS. Why do I use that term? Because to interpret such adult lyrics with the obvious emotions required isn't a characteristic that even some adult singers can accomplish.. Angelina is not a Karaoke person, nor a "cookie cutter" singer. She's an ARTIST, as such, she adds all the little vocal ornaments and colors to create a musical piece of art at age 11. She is GIFTED and realized at a very early age (her words) "I became obsessed with it (jazz), I just couldn't get enough". Well, she was born with "the pipes" to comply, and what an exquisite and captivating relationship she cultivated. Maybe one day, she'll produce a strictly jazz classics album... In the meantime, we have these musical treats to enjoy... I can only imagine how much more vocal maturity will impact her moving forward... But I've always believed that "a history of past behaviors is an excellent indicator of future ones".... If that holds true for our Angel, then we're in for one journey that'll make her a LEGEND!! Peace!!
I have seen this video many times and I have always though she is maybe 14 years old here and still it was hard to understand when you hear how she is singing.. And now I have read she is only 11 years old... This goes beyond my comprehension totally!
Angelina has said she wouldn't be the singer she is if not for the influence of Billie Holiday. This is a perfect illustration as to why, for Angelina is able to bring forth all the nuance and inflections that Billie was known for. You can see that she really applies all her abilities to this song, including 'breathy', 'whisper-like' qualities .....but so much more. I love Billie's original but truly enjoy Angelina's rendition more.
Actually, this was easy for her! What she was trying to do here was to follow the off-side input from her grandmother, making sure she was making her grandmother happy.... She loves and admires her grandmother. Go to AJ's sites for accurate..information. AJ is known for being a recording artist that requires only 1 take, by the way! Thanks!
Great quote from Bruce Lee. Fits perfectly. Angelina has worked hard, with a purpose and dedication never seen. Bruce and Michael Jackson had that same sense of desire as little AJ. Good to hear your plans for going back to earlier recordings. You must hear’I’m still holding out for you’ recorded two weeks before the age of eleven. Buckle up my friend. Probably her best so far. Could have been a number one hit. So far Angelina and her family refused to promote this song. In fact, stating that Angelina will refuse to ever sing it again. I’m hoping they eventually change their minds. You will get the full story, once the fans get up. Mad love and respect for you and your appreciation for Angelina ❤❤❤
If you want a song from when she was 12, I suggest I'd Rather Go Blind. The video says she was 13 but she wasn't - she was 12. Or alternatively, how about California Dreaming, A Million Years Ago or Stay. Thank you for your dedicated reactions, T.I.
Here a link from her famous concert at age 12 in front of the prime minister and family and a few others. "It´s a man´s world" th-cam.com/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/w-d-xo.html Be safe Elmar from Germany
You need to all the way back to her beginnings starting at six years of age. You will not understand her journey unless you do. By the at five she was speaking three languages. Norwegian, Persian and English. By eight her English was fluent, with little or no accent. She was reading English at five and six. At two and three she is spending hours scrolling through TH-cam looking for Jazz artists to listen to. At four she enters school and by five is studying music theory. You have a lot of work ahead.
Well quick something i want to say, in this reaction i was very tired and maybe i should've recorded this a different day but still i wanted to do it. I gotta say tho after i heard Angelina i got back haha , she is incredible. Please make sure to request some more next stop 12 Years Old!!!
Her song Shield.
"STAY"Rihanna cover."BORN to DIE a Lana del Rey cover. Two of her best at 12 years old...
Angelina is a genius level talent. Her instincts, intuition, her ear and her divinely gifted talent is absolutely unique.
I agree
She had her grandma with her so she was in heavenly perfection mode....
That's amazing
She's unbelievable....... 🙂
Yes
That was her grandmother, her inspiration, the one who is almost always behind the camera.
Thx for letting me know
Great reaction. she is indescribably awesome!!
Thank you to for the support
I bet she just walked up and sang that song in one take without practice. That's what she does. She's been singing this song since she was six, or earlier. Great reaction! 😎🇺🇲👍🌟💯
She I'd just incredible i mean wow
She is indeed incredible, she is known for listening to songs a few times and then recording in one or two takes, she sang this acapella at 8, her second appearance on Norways Got Talent, it’s worth a listen. Thanks for continuing with Angelina, there is no other singer like her on the planet…past or present.
I can't wait to watch some more!
This performance is like a time machine, whisking us back into the 1950s. Amazing!
Indeed it was!
Great reaction. You are right about everything about her development in many stages. However, this development can only be compared to Angelina Jordan herself. No one comes close to her abilities at a given age, and many so-called singers will not achieve it even if they have many years of experience.
Greetings from Poland:)
😀😀😀😀😀
She is unique rhats for sure
That was her grandmother, Mery Zamani. Mery was herself, a child prodigy, but in art and poetry. Mery is Angelina's biggest fan and her mentor.
Thx for letting me know
A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice did it brilliantly
I agree
Right off the bat that was her grandma. They are inseparable. Somewhere Billie Holiday's spirit smiles every time it hears Angelina sing this song.
Angelina did a great job
That is so true!
She does almost all of her songs in one or two takes. Often while reading the lyrics because it’s a new song for her. As good as her studio performances are her live performances are even better.
I appreciate when a artist shines at his live performances
That was her grandmother. She was fantastic and so were you!
Thank you so much
And now she is a professional singer. She finishes Highschool and her new album with her originals will come out soon. Her words!!!!!
Wow......

i'm happy that you are watching, thank you for the support
Yes, perfection is the right word !!!
Agreed

Thank you for watching Pedro, i'm very deep into this journey now and i've covered a lot of songs

That's awesome thanks for letting me know
Thoroughly enjoyed your reaction.
Thank you!!!
According to the engineer sound mixer at Republic Records in LA, most everything she does is done in a single take.
Oh wow
Just think how focused a person would have to be to pull this off. Then we have Angelina Jordan who is able to play to the camera in a rather nonchalant way while creating a cover that is extraordinary. Who can understand the mysteries in this universe?
No one will understand all I know is that she is amazing!
She was born at just the right time. With all the uncertainty and distress in the world right now, she brings so much hope and inspiration.
I'm sure she does
Thanks a lot for checking it out, m8. I think you did an excellent reaction 👍

I'm getting into a very interesting period of Angelinas career
Thank you for your reaction. Did you watch her performance of this song when she was 7/8 on NGT acapella?
I haven't
if you want to see EVERY song she has recorded you must refer to Rusty Shackleford chronological list....accepted by most angels as The One
i will check it all for sure one song at a time
I really appreciate that you took the time to listen to Billie Holiday's original, before you did this reaction. I wish more reactors would do the same, but some seem to think total ignorance of Angelina & the legends she is covering is the way to go. I much prefer your method.
That's thanks to people like you who let me know. In my previous reaction people warned me to check the original
Thanks

I'm not sure if Ms Jordan was 11 or 12 but please check out her live stage performance of Diamonds Are Forever. (great reaction thank you)
Thank you for watching!
Angelina was 11 in the summer of 2017 (Diamonds are forever).

For her 12 year old period, why don't you try her rhyanna cover of "Stay". Absolutely mesmerizing.
I will try that for sure
That's her Grandmother
