She arranges all her own music…Since she was eight years old! She has many videos of her playing various guitars. Released June 22, 2022. By November, 3.4M views on TH-cam alone. Angelina starts off with the bridge, completely different from anyone else; and then, begins with the opening line of the song. Her beehive hairdo, is in the homage to Priscilla...many photographs of her hair exactly like that. And a leather outfit he later wore. The guitar is the Elvis 1968 "Comeback" Guitar, and Rob Christie actually owns this one. The two young cousins, are Uncle/Manager Michael's children. The young girl is her sister, Juliette. Angelina had a framed photo of Elvis in the Service, at the location. Such respect. Rob Christie is on the piano. (Currently Republic Records award winning Studio Director) 🌺
The hair is a tribute to Priscilla back in the day. Her Black leather jumpsuit and Rob Christie's jumpsuit (on piano) are callbacks to Elvis' comeback tour, as is the Red guitar. Angelina signed with Republic Records at age 14 ( 16 in this video, 17 now). A touching tribute and another masterpiece from Angelina.
She actually plays the Keyboard/piano, flute, violin, and the guitar. Let's not forget about the most important instrument she has, her hypnotic voice that has a hold on all of us. She plays the guitar in a number of her Instagram Videos.
She actually is signed with Republic Records. Signed when she was 14, a few months after appearing on AGT. The award winning Rob Christie, on the piano, is one of the top people with Republic. Angelina put the arrangement together and Rob developed the music to match. Angelina's grandmother Mery & Angelina developed the video concept. They tipped the hat to Elvis with the hairstyle (Priscilla), the red guitar (Evlis comeback tour), the black jumpsuit (Elvis), the red jumpsuit (Elvis band), silver boots (Elvis silver shoes). Then you had the mirror (reflecting back in time) uncovering the piano (uncovering an old classic: music) Singing caught in a trap (showing Angelina's two little cousins and then her sister) How many couples stick out a trouble marriage for the love of their children? And then you have Angelina's vocal that bring the lyrics to life. What an amazing, talented family.
If you saw her - aged 9?- handing her written instructions to the band for her version of 'I Put A Spell On You'... { where they affectionately called her ' The Boss' } you wouldn't need to ponder how much artistic direction she applies to her own work! 😂🤣 You're right; this is how you pay real homage to the original artist, whilst still making something thoroughly your own. Angelina's voice and style is ever maturing and refining, and still only 17. A career to watch! 😊
She is absolutely signed StrongDad...she signed with Republic Records at age 14 (OMG Records) one of the top 3 record companies. This is her creation along with Rob Christie (on piano) a multiple Grammy winner and Director of Republic Records LA. This was all done with intention to honor one of her Idols, Elvis. From the Pricilla hairdo, to the 68 comeback tour guitar and the leather suit all meant to honor the King. Angelina is not like any other so called "artist" these days....she IS an artist and puts all of herself into these covers. Stay Well.
Angelina at her best, visualizing how to pay tribute to Elvis; her rendition leaves us breathless. What an amazing talent, to take a classic, using just the right vocal ornaments, and her trademark of underscoring the lyrics with amazing layers of emotion. She sings them as a plea, the angst of wanting to save a relationship...I believe her when she says "Let our love survive"...she gives her all to this rendition, as usual she gives nothing but her best, nothing but attention to every detail, and singing from her heart to each of us...and we "Can't Help Falling in Love" with her voice, over and over. PEACE! 🔥🎧🎶🎹🎤🎵🎼🎙️🎶🎶🔥⭐🔥⭐🔥⭐🔥⭐👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
… ELVIS and ANGELINA... my absolute favourites!! Angelina is already the greatest singer for me... Elvis anyway! … I can't even describe how incredibly good these two are!! … What a great tribute to the King! Elvis would be honored. ✨💎✨ 🕺🏻🎸🕯Thank you
Angelina signed with Republic Records (Taylor Swift, Sam Smith, etc.) in August 2020 but her family requested she be allowed as normal a childhood as possible so they have yet to fully promote her. Angelina has spent the last 3 years living in LA with her family and getting to know many in the music industry, yet in my estimation only about 15% of the general public know her. Both Angelina and Rob Christie at Republic Records have said her album is coming out later this year. Angelina said it will be mostly, if not all, original songs.
Yeah! She’s something special, isn’t she? Power & Pure Velvet Perfection! This vocal arrangement was all Angelina, I have no doubt in collaboration with a stellar team including Rob Christie & Mery Zamani her Grandmother. She is a Master Storyteller. The video is shot in the same Antique Store that she did 'My Funny Valentine' on Valentine’s Day. I believe it is in LA near her home. I believe the girls in the video represent Angelina's Journey from infancy to present through the classics of music history. Thus the Antique store, She grew up studying and performing these classics. Did you notice that right foot raise it’s heal to cradle the guitar a couple of times in the performance? I was waiting for her to throw in a little shake to it in homage to the King. Could that have been intentional? That is Rob Christie on piano. Sister Juliette and a couple of Uncle Michael's Babies. I think that makes them cousins not nieces. Full Black Leather Bodysuit, the guitar from his concert in 68 and the hair a homage to Priscilla Presley. Yeah! She can bring tears to your eyes. I base my interpretation on my knowledge of Angelina's journey from an 18 month old little girl singing a "classic" of music history 'I Will Always Love You' . She has been listening to these classics on repeat on YOUTube since then under the guidance and inspiration of her Grandmother Mery Zamani. She has been performing these classics since her first time in studio at 6 yrs old.. She has continued this journey through her 1st introduction to the world with her "Classic'" 'Gloomy Sunday’ and following with her many performances at her many Jazz Festivals, TV performances, Concerts, and charity events, studio recordings and practice sessions at home accompanied or not. The location in the Antique store represents these classics (like the furniture) of another era. To me she portrays wonder at all these classics surrounding her. as she has travelled this road. Her tribute to Elvis is at her present age, today, each stage represented by her cousins and sister and ending with Angelina herself on the couch still admiring all this history surrounding her. The beautiful rendition of the song, and other tributes are in the leather outfit, Guitar and hair a tribute to Priscilla. Just my interpretation but it makes the most sense to me. ♥👣👸🏻
Angelina has been signed to Republic Records since she was 14 years old. The studio director of Republic Records (an affiliate of Universal Music) Rob Christie is playing the piano. Usually Angelina does the arrangements herself.
A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice Angelina Jordan is now 17 years old. Four days ago she sang in Paris at the ceremony - FIFA Football Awards 2022. This must be seen
Thank you for returning to Angelina. Your reactions to her performances are always worth watching. The song was written by Mark James, an American singer/songwriter, who recorded it the year it was written. The best known version, however, was that done by Elvis Presley. It was his last No 1 song. In the Wikipedia entry of the origins of the song, Mark James is said to have remarked "That late one night, he was fooling around on his Fender guitar and using his Hammond organ pedals for a bass line and came up with what he thought was a catchy melody. At the time, he was married to his first wife but still had feelings for his childhood sweetheart, who was married back in Houston. James's wife had suspicions about his feelings. He felt it was a confusing time for him and that all three were "caught in this trap that they could not walk out of." Other singers covering this song invariably base their performance on that of Elvis, in that it is very "upbeat". Angelina took a very different path in that she read and understood the lyrics and what Mark James intended when writing them . To my mind, her rendition is much truer to the emotions of the song. The children appearing in the video were Angelina's cousins Aurora (first) and then Athena - daughters of her uncle Michael Astar, and then her sister Juliette. I would hazard a guess that they were included to emphasise that children are very important to Angelina and her family. Confession! I have never been a great fan of Elvis Presley, although I do like some of his earlier recordings, and I had never heard of the song "Suspicious minds" but knew that Angelina would completely take ownership of it, and she did. It was beautiful. After listening to it several times, I decided to download the lyrics to see whether she kept to the original structure. She didn't, and the song is all the better for it. For me, that she started with the Bridge of the song is very significant and, I feel, very indicative of Angelina's "up front" transparency. She was declaring that it was important that their love did not die, and then carries on to say why she feels as she does. Others first say how they feel and then, almost as an afterthought, assure their love they don't want it to end. For me, it is whether I feel the singer is genuine about the situation and wishes it could be resolved or whether the singer understands the situation but thinks the blame is on her/his partner but feels the need to assure them they don't want it to end (until somebody else comes along).
Thanks for another great reaction to & appreciation of another masterful arrangement & performance by Angelina - this time of a well known Elvis hit song. Now 17, Angelina was 16 here. To the best of my knowledge, Angelina does all of her own arrangements. And - in so doing - she allows us to to better hear & feel the lyrics & the essence of each song she sings. This was definitely a family production - the Executive Producer Mery Zamani is Angelina's grandmother, the 2 younger girls are her cousins & the older girl is her younger sister Juliette. It is also a great tribute to Elvis - Angelina's beehive hairdo is reminiscent of Priscilla Presley & her black leather jumpsuit & red Hagstrom guitar are just like Elvis used in his "Comeback Tour". Shortly after Angelina finished AGT, at age14 she signed a contract with Republic Records. Her 1st release (which she wrote herself as a tribute to her late grandfather) was Million Miles. There are several versions - lyrics only, music video & live in studio. I highly recommend the live in studio version. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
Angelina has been signed with Republic Records since was 14 (2020) - she has an official single coming out sometime in April 2023, and an album of all originals later this year under the Republic Records label.
Angelina is always wonderfully engaging, her voice gets warmer and deeper each time and her slower version of this iconic song is truly fantastic, much closer to the emotions of the lyrics than Elvis's version. Elegant and very sweet, she really enters the heart. I also infinitely love her fantastic family that is so close to her, this video is truly a wonderful little work of art! 💛🧡❤
She plays the guitar in several songs, and the piano too. The latest was a couple of days ago at the FIFAs 2022 arrangement when she started playing the piano and singing. 👍 Love from Norway 🇳🇴
@@rosefinnen1015 Den ble solgt på auksjon for andre gang for 7.1 millioner norske kroner den 27 august i fjor. Mange har spekulert om at det er samme gitar 🎸 men det er ikke det. Den er svensk produsert. En Hagstrømgitar. Jeg trodde også det var original gitaren men det var det flere som sa at det er det ikke.
Angelina has been doing her own arrangements since she was 7 years old. This girl is a genius in every sense of the word, there is no one like on the face of the earth.
The baby and very little girl are Angelina's cousins, the pre-teen girl is Angelina's sister Juliette, and the piano player is Rob Christie, Director of the Republic Records LA studio who has been working with Angelina since she signed with that record label in 2020 when she was 14 - she is 16 in this video.
In the opening credits it shows that Mery Zamani is the executive producer. Mery is Angelina’s grandmother, whom also happens to be a former child prodigy herself. Mery is Angelina’s greatest creative influence and mentor. Everything about this video paid homage to Elvis’ 1968 Come Back Special. Angelina’s bee hive hair style is what Priscilla Presley wore back in 1968. Angelina’s full length black leather outfit, the red guitar and pianist, Rob Christie’s red jump suit are also throw backs from that era. The two youngest girls in white are Angelina’s cousins. They are her uncle Michael’s girls. Her uncle Michael is Angelina’s manager. The middle school aged girl is Angelina’s sister, Juliette.
I have been following her since she started, she is masterpiece, never stops shocking me how amazing she is. My favorite artist at this moment by far, truly a talent in so many areas.
Angelina is in always in total control of her arrangements of her cover songs. No one dictates how her songs are to song and arranged. Angelina is the total artist an the responsible for them musically and style wise. She may input from others but the final say is her hers. . Angelina, as many of her supporting musician, whom have great respect for her arranging prowess have stated, she is the boss , but she does it always in a humble and respectful way to the musicians and staff around her. As the olde saying goes ,she marches to her own drum beat and results are always sensational.
She is signed with Republic Records and that is Rob Christy on piano who is studio head in LA. She arraigned the song and Rob did the piano to her tempo. The guitar is the twin of the one Elvis used on his 1968 Comeback Special and the black leather she wares and the red jump suit match what he and his band wore. Mark James wrote and recorded this song in 1968. Elvis never wrote a song but did this one in 1969 which became his last number one single. His version followed the original with the man’s point of view. Angelina with her Pricilla hair dew sings it from the ladies point of view. Angelina plays a good back up guitar and is even better on piano. Thank you
Angelina has been signed with Republic Records since she was 14. Rob Christie Playing Piano: That dude playing the piano is Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California, and he has been working with AJ since she signed with the largest record company in the world at the age of 14, two years ago. Rob was the MC of AJ Christmas Show that aired Dec 23, of 21. AJ’s Christmas Show that live-streamed on Dec 23 of 21 had some of the most important musicians of our time: Frank Sinatra's drummer for 6 years, and sun in-law of the late Henry Mancini, Greg Field has won 9 Grammys, and the bass player, Chuck Berghofer who also played for Sinatra for 6 years, and toured with Barbara Streisand, accompanied AJ on her Christmas Show, and they stated that she had the "storytelling ability of the greats, Streisand, Fitzgerald, Vaughan, including Sinatra, to name a few. The main pianist, a five-time nominated for Grammys, Shelly Berg, stated in all his years working with the greatest vocalist, he had never encountered a talent like AJ. Did I forget to mention Jimmy Z, the famous Sax Player who worked with Rod Steward, Etta James, the Eurythmics, and Doctor Dre, was part of the band for the show? Jimmy stated that AJ was the best he has ever played for. Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California played the guitar, and was the MC of the show. (I can't list the complete backgrounds on all the band members because it would take several pages to do them justice.) Angelina stated that she would rather perform than take a breath, and she has never been forced to perform, it has been her decision.
Angelina signed with Republic Records in 2020. Angelina has been arranging the music for her covers for several years. She does not rearrange all the time.
AJ takes the most iconic songs we know as an exercise in educating herself and alway smash it in her way. Yet amazing us. She now have the best historical music songs in her veins, so what can we see coming out from this when she grows? I’m happy to see her putting effort in educating herself in the best of the classics. The future is going to be bright when we also remember what is achievable form the past.
I'm pleased that you are reacting to Angelina, but you need some more background: 1- she does all of her own arrangements, including as far back as "I Put a Spell on You" to which you've already reacted. 2- she signed with Republic Records in Aug22. That's Rob Christie, West Coast Director of RR backing her up on the piano (and wearing a jumpsuit similar to those Elvis' backup group wore on his comeback concert, and the red Hagstrom Viking semi-hollow body is identical to the one he used. Angelina's also wearing a black leather suit like he did at that event and sports a beehive hairdo honoring Priscilla). RR have basically given her a carte blanche contract (probably the only one her uncle would sign for her or allow her to sign). They provide support when she wants/needs it, but let her do her thing on her own like she's always done. She's sung at some major events without their involvement since signing, although I'm sure they got her into last weekend's performance at FIFA's Awards ceremony, which gave her exposure to something like 300 million soccer fans world wide. If you look on TikTok you'll find Angelina accompanying herself on her green guitar while singing "House of the Rising Sun"...I suspect that you might enjoy that one! 8-))
I think it was very delicate, tender, lovely and very much paying tribute in a respectful and thoughtful manner. We see that we can never expect anything less from Angelina Jordan.
Angelina is ALWAYS who re-arranges the songs and covers she does. She is signed. With Republic Records. She and her family asked Republic about three years ago when she signed with them, to please allow her time to finish her schooling. Republic has been awesome and has held her with great care and supporting her every time she wanted to do a cover or whatever ... they have been fabulous with her. School ends this year and with that comes the record they've been working on together. She is endlessly busy singing .. with tik toks and tons of You Tubes .. always magnificently energetic and never letting a day go by without something to share with us all. We are all looking forward to her record and to her become one of the amazing musicians in the Union and fully can imagine her shining forth and the process of letting the world truly get to know her. I enjoyed your reaction. Thanks so much.
Grammy winner Rob Christie is on the piano. He is head of studio productions for Republic records. He has accompanied Angelina on several covers over the last several years. It is no accident that she is signed to Republic. Rob has become friend and mentor to Angelina and her family. Her Uncle Michael Astar, has been her agent and manager since she won Norway's got talent at age 8. This is the greatest female vocalist to ever live. She has always since age 6, arranged her own music. She had her own band full time after Norway's got talent. This cover was in tribute to the release of the Elvis documentary released last summer. The guitar was barrowed by Elvis from one his band members during the 1969 TV Comeback Concert. This guitar is not the same one but it is one of the same make, model, and color, which matched Elvis outfit that day. The child is Uncle Michaels baby daughter, the older beautiful young girl is Angelina's sister Juliette. Hope this helps you learn about this gift to us all, Angelina Jordan Astar. Ther is much to learn about her. This is just a few tidbits. She will be releasing an album later this year of songs that she has written.
AJ certainly does all her own vocal arrangements. In this case they do give credit to Rob (for the piano arrangement). Rob has been her guide, mentor, accompanist, fan and friend since Republic signed her. It's a hand annd glove collaboration.
It's all a tribute to Elvis. The black leather outfit, the red guitar, the blue velvet shoes, and Priscilla's beehive. I never really cared about Elvis, but, as it happened so often, Angelina showed me the true meaning of a song/artist.
Our tiny little girl with the grownup voice was 17 on Jan. 10, 23 and is now 6'1" tall and could be a super model, but I hope the major portion of her career will be dedicated to her music and taking the world to a better place. I don't think she even realizes this power she holds over us and the need to hear that signature voice to fill that empty void within all of us. Angelina Jordan is in fact the "Benchmark" for all other vocalist to try as they might to achieve. I have a number of pictures of celebrities whose height is known, for example, Austin Butler, who played Elvis, is 6ft tall, and AJ published a picture of her standing next to him, she was at least 1 inch taller than him, and she had to look down at him.
Angelina chooses all her covers and does all of her own arrangements, although she has at her disposal Republic Records' huge infrastructure. She signed with them at age 14 as "highest priority new artist." The piano player is Rob Christie, a double Grammy winner, who is Republic's L.A. Studio director. They have done several videos together - a really good team. I believe that the director for this video, who has also worked before with Angelina, also works for Republic. Here Angie wore the style of Elvis' leather suit and her hair was in the style of his wife. The guitar was the same model, and maybe the same one, that Elvis used in his "comeback" concert. Angelina plays the guitar quite well now and the piano too (see many TikTok videos). She is said to also play the flute and violin, but I have not ever seen them played by her. Angie studied music theory and arrangement at an after-school performing artist academy when she was very young.
The mirror is about Angelina reflecting the style of the past...the kids (her cousins and sister) represent that Angelina has been visiting this store (Gallery on Melrose), which is owned by a family friend, since she was a baby - it's one of her favourite places...the guitar is owned by Rob Christie, the man playing the piano, who is the multi Grammy awarded studio head at Republic records, with whom she signed when she was 14...Angelina does all her own arrangements and has done since she was about 7-8
first to say this is a maybe educated guess or speculation of me without proof at all how Angelina goes into a new Cover - first she read the lyrics and Prozesses them in her Magic mind how the meanig can be expressed the most sincere - than she works out a melody to it and fusion lyrics and music together - at last she listened to the Real music and choose how that fit best and in this Video you see the conclusion - Angelina will be the Goat in the music books to come
Shamans Genius: Exceptional intellectual or creative power, the greatest musical genius of our time is Angelina Jordan. Can one be hypnotized by sound? Shamans use rhythmic drumming and chanting to achieve control over a mind. Angelina's is unique in that she has the ability to create audios that trigger your brains "frequency following response". She has the ability to create a euphoric addiction to her total being similar to drugs, but without the side effects, she is in fact, like nothing I have ever experienced in the past, or more than likely to in the future. Extraterrestrials, If you have ever questioned whether there are extraterrestrials among us, you now know it to be true, it is the only explanation for this being, Angelina Jordan.
I enjoyed your reaction it's awesome to share your Angelina journey with all of us. Aside from her hair style, leather boots, black leather outfit & the subtle dust cloud from uncovering the piano... There is another fun fact that I noticed... Angelina's guitar was NOT a PROP as some reactors have commented in the past. She plays guitar as well as several other instruments. She could have used any guitar but she chose to pay homage to the king by using that particular model. Elvis used that guitar model in his '68 TV Comeback Special. A Hagstrom '67 Viking II Semi-Hollow Body, Transparent Wild Cherry, which recently sold at auction for $500,000 dollars. Playing piano is Rob Christie, Grammy award winner, music producer as well as Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group, her new recording label.
The creativity displayed by Angelina here (the arrangement, the visuals, the attention to detail) is a talent that Angelina inherited from her Grandma according to Angelina’s Mom, Sarah Astar. And you won’t be surprised to find out that her Grandmother, Mery Zamani is the Executive producer of this video. As the producer, she had the ability (and insight) to include all FOUR of her granddaughters in this video (the two young ones are Angelina’s cousins, the young girl sitting in the chair is Angelina’s sister). Angelina has described her grandmother as her “inspiration”, her “best friend”, her “everything”. Meri is the one who exposed Angelina to jazz music at the age of TWO and also directed as well as produced many of Angelina’s early music videos. The two of them are like two peas in a pod. 🎶💚👣
This re-arrangement is hers, as is the case with all her covers. She signed with Republic Records (best company in the music business) when she was 14, with the stipulation that they would allow her to be a "normal" teenager and not promote her big time until she graduated high school (this coming May/June). She has been paired with Grammy winner Rob Christie (Direction of RR LA Studio), and together they have created some of the best music I've ever heard. Having just turned 17, she just performed with Redone at the FIFA 2023 Awards Ceremony with a viewing audience of about 300M worldwide. She will be a worldwide SuperStar.
She has always done her own arrangements, some times with collaborators. At 14 years old she actually signed with Republic Records. They agreed to not release her album until she finishes school. Great choice as they are letting her do her own thing.
Angelina takes part in arrangements for every song she does. She was signed by Republic Records well over 2 years ago and the pianist in this video is Rob Christie, music director for Republic Records. I believe he assisted in the arrangement for this one. But Angelina is the boss! She has released a few songs since she signed with Republic. A million miles, original song 7th Heaven, original song All I ask, Adele cover Easy on me, Adele cover I have nothing, Whitney Houston cover There may be a couple more but these are the most notable that I can think of at the moment. You should definitely check out her original songs! Thanks.
Now 17 years old and living in Los Angeles, she is signed with a major record company called Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records have agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. Apparently, it looks like this is the year that she will be finished and her new album of new music is coming out later this year. When it comes to arrangements of her songs, she makes most of, if not all, the decisions on how she wants to do a song.
In many of Angelina's covers, she will pay tribute to the artists of the songs she covers. In this one, she is extending homage to Elvis. She also does her own arrangements or, at least, has very much input into the way her music is done. In this case, she departed from Elvis by slowing the tune down and singing it in a way the lyrics actually ask for. Elvis covered it like the original, a virtual pop "dance" tune, although the lyrics are a sad, emotional and heartbreaking tale of an impending breakup and lost love. Angelina sings the song as it should be performed. This was Elvis's last number one song. In this video she is dressed as Elvis was in his " '68 Comeback Special" TV program. Leather from top to bottom. Her hair is done up in a "bee hive" style that Elvis liked his wife Pricilla to wear. The red guitar is a contemporary Hagstrom reproduction of a 1967 Viking II. Elvis had borrowed it from Al Casey, one of the session musicians of the Comeback Special band. The original guitar recently sold at auction for over $660,000. The piano and mic are like the ones in the Sun studio in Memphis, where Elvis started his recording career. The piano player is Rob Christie, a top studio exec at her label, Republic Records. He is dressed in the same garb as the '68 Special bandmembers were in that broadcast. The young girl(s), Angelina's relatives, are a nod to Elvis's and Pricilla's kid, Lisa Marie, may God love her soul. The last segment of the children shows Angelina's sister, Juliette, as a 9 year old Lisa Marie. That was how old Lisa was when her dad died. Many reactors guess that the children in this video denotes Angelina growing up, but all the symbolisms is about Elvis and not Angelina. There is a short segment of Angelina reposing on a couch. She is wearing what look like mismatched shoes. One is blue suede, yes? Many of the antique shop artifacts, particularly the old red fabric chair in the background seem "fit for a king". The artistic production may have been by her executive producer and grandmom, Mery Zamani. Mery is a well known artist from Iran who had her hand in other Angelina artwork, including the outfit Angelina wore on "AGT the Champions" show, and the artwork on Angelina's first original Republic video "Million Miles - lyrics version". With a little help from her friends (and family), Angelina is leaving a profound legacy in the world of music and art. She is "ASTAR", literally and figuratively.
Hi strong man ! 😄 When Angelina begins the first seconds here (but often too) are like an uppercut ! It's a great movie with a lot of references to Elvis and Priscilla, the presence of her sister juliette and two cousins is cute ! As we see at the begining her grandma Merry Zamani is executive producer so I thinh she want to have her four grandchildren both in this video ! She can be proud I think !
ESTOU AQUI NO BRASIL . Meu nome Solange tenho 60 anos. Quando esculto a voz de Angelina fechar meus olhos volto no tempo. Ela Angelina faz do jeito dela. Ela Faz de coração ❤ para todos.
Thanks for reacting to this amazing performance by Angelina. The Barefoot Angel signed a contract with Republic Records on 2020 at 14 years old, and she has the rights to continue with her own style of music because no one is capable to match her talent in arrange her music. Of course, she is open to suggestions by the experts in moving ahead in her music journey, but the ultimate decision is hers.
Thanks for your reaction and for your support of Angelina. Here is an important message. To all Angels....We all enjoy watching reaction videos because it gives us the chance to share reactors' experiences with the emotions we initially felt when we first viewed an artist's performance. Reactions are entertaining, and the channels deserve our support. But we must realize that although reaction videos attract some new fans, we need to be mindful that there are very important actions we must take to introduce artists like Angelina, and even reactors, to a vastly wider audience. For Angelina, that means providing her the opportunity to share her music, and to spread her message of love and empathy. Angels, please support Angelina just by watching two videos per day, in their entirety, either from her Official or Cover channel. Ensure that you like and post a new comment, and also like, and reply to existing comments when inspired. More angels participating is the most direct way we can support Angelina on TH-cam, which will then recommend her videos to millions more people. Reactors who truly appreciate you and their featured artists will encourage you to take these actions for the artists' as well as their own channels. Recognize your favorites by liking, commenting, and subscribing to their channels as well. Peace and love.
She just performed the FIFA World's Best Player of the Year Awards Ceremony which went to Messi. Millions + watching worldwide . She performed "You're the Best" the theme song for the program along with Red 1. She owned the stage. 👣 She just fulfilled another wish. To sing to the whole world. Millions from what I understand and World Wide. She did that here. She expressed that wish several times when she was younger including her interview on NGT. 👣 Its on the FIFA page about 1:23 into the video. Copyright issues.
@@sip4119 Just had this conversation with another Angel & he had heard about 800,000 + watched live and 6 million + on the FIFA website. We believe the 300 million # came from the games not the Award Ceremony. That's worldwide in about 3 days. Love to hear support for that verified #.
@@OleOlson121 The games final had about 1.5 billion estimated views. The 300 million number is an estimate for the awards ceremony. I don't know how reliable it is, but TV viewership is the lion's share, Internet viewership is comparatively minuscule.
---- In a March 3, 2023 published interview with the Swedish daily newspaper Aftonbladet (published in Stockholm, Sweden and it is one of the largest daily newspapers in the Nordic countries): - Angelina said wrote all songs for new album and is excited to share what she has been working upon - The songs will have a retro vibe inspired by the 1960's - The launch for her album is to begin in the US and then Angelina will be going to Europe - Her first single is scheduled to be released at the end of April - The album is scheduled to be released in the fall
This was entirely her arrangement.... she always arranges her own music.. and yes I think the girls - her sister and young cousins - probably represent Angelina at earlier ages... the white dresses strongly suggest that
It's been a long time between reactions Jaz ! Glad to have you back to hear our barefoot princess ! So many more videos to watch ! I would suggest her studio version of " I Have Nothing " at 16 that is a mind blowing rendition of Whitney's Houston iconic song ! The live version in Norway last year was so fabulous in an outdoor concert setting ! Thanks for returning to Angelina ! Sending much love from Canada ! 👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️
Great Reaction; Regarding the arrangement of the song, as you get to know more about this talented artist you’ll learn her musicians refer to he as “the boss” with respect for her talent and creativity so she will have been “all over this”
Angelina has signed with Republic, I believe right after AGT, and we expect her first released album to occur Spring/Summer this year. She brings us joy, she makes us cry, and we really love her a lot. Oh, I like your reactions, but you've barely scratched the surface.
She started the bridge from one of the mole much does a mini Tonka light love you like I said they saw Elvis Presley movie all saw him singing this song I didn’t understand what you’re saying, but she bought it down this level I saw begin understand what the songs about now she made it better so that he could understand it. She has a cheer the musical genius Ridgeville, her own stuff.
She arranges all her own stuff and the guitar was Elvis. She has put the focus back on lyrics and the single instruments often accompaniment let’s you hear them better. Refreshing to not have everything so loud and singers screaming to be heard. She never has to scream .
My interpretation of the symbolism of this music video: First, and foremost; Angelina Jordan at 16 is the epitome of a Storytelling ARTIST, and she has the ability to take us by the hand and lead us down an imaginary path that we visualize as reality. The remarkable fact is that we experience this in each of her performances. In this video we see her as a married woman in her mid to late 20s. As the video starts out, we see dishes, and it is a symbol of a home. As AJ sings the phrase “Were caught in a trap, I can’t walk out” we see 3 small children, this to me is a marriage where the children come first. If it were AJ by herself, she would not stay in a relation without trust.
Her Uncle was instrumental (sorry bad pun) in training her with music and instruments while her grandmother helped nurture her artistic side. On top of that she had a family friend author that nurtured her writing and she already has a best seller. Incredibly while she has this amazing support her mother made sure Angelina called shots and was free to express herself without been overshadowed by the talent around her. There is a great online documentary about her if you want to know more. Also while she has now signed her mother also delayed that as long as possible for obvious reasons. Finally she performs barefoot because in subtle awareness campaign on poverty. The whole story is touching but to long for here.

Angelina is the best thing that has happened in the music for long time
Angelina has been doing her own arrangements since she was 8 She plays piano, guitar, flute, and violin
It's a swedish Hagström Viking II guitar which Elvis used 1968. Her father is swedish. It's her version. She is a genius!
She has been arranging her own renditions since she was a child.
She arranges all her own music…Since she was eight years old! She has many videos of her playing various guitars. Released June 22, 2022. By November, 3.4M views on TH-cam alone. Angelina starts off with the bridge, completely different from anyone else; and then, begins with the opening line of the song. Her beehive hairdo, is in the homage to Priscilla...many photographs of her hair exactly like that. And a leather outfit he later wore. The guitar is the Elvis 1968 "Comeback" Guitar, and Rob Christie actually owns this one. The two young cousins, are Uncle/Manager Michael's children. The young girl is her sister, Juliette. Angelina had a framed photo of Elvis in the Service, at the location. Such respect. Rob Christie is on the piano. (Currently Republic Records award winning Studio Director) 🌺
The hair is a tribute to Priscilla back in the day. Her Black leather jumpsuit and Rob Christie's jumpsuit (on piano) are callbacks to Elvis' comeback tour, as is the Red guitar. Angelina signed with Republic Records at age 14 ( 16 in this video, 17 now). A touching tribute and another masterpiece from Angelina.
She actually plays the Keyboard/piano, flute, violin, and the guitar. Let's not forget about the most important instrument she has, her hypnotic voice that has a hold on all of us.
She plays the guitar in a number of her Instagram Videos.
She actually is signed with Republic Records. Signed when she was 14, a few months after appearing on AGT. The award winning Rob Christie, on the piano, is one of the top people with Republic. Angelina put the arrangement together and Rob developed the music to match. Angelina's grandmother Mery & Angelina developed the video concept. They tipped the hat to Elvis with the hairstyle (Priscilla), the red guitar (Evlis comeback tour), the black jumpsuit (Elvis), the red jumpsuit (Elvis band), silver boots (Elvis silver shoes). Then you had the mirror (reflecting back in time) uncovering the piano (uncovering an old classic: music) Singing caught in a trap (showing Angelina's two little cousins and then her sister) How many couples stick out a trouble marriage for the love of their children? And then you have Angelina's vocal that bring the lyrics to life. What an amazing, talented family.
No question about it Angelina is the best thing that has happened in the music industry in a very looooong time.
Elvis' performance is a stuff of legend. Angelina completely changed it, for the better. Incredible.
If you saw her - aged 9?- handing her written instructions to the band for her version of 'I Put A Spell On You'... { where they affectionately called her ' The Boss' } you wouldn't need to ponder how much artistic direction she applies to her own work! 😂🤣 You're right; this is how you pay real homage to the original artist, whilst still making something thoroughly your own. Angelina's voice and style is ever maturing and refining, and still only 17. A career to watch! 😊
To me this is a masterpiece - the production values, the song arrangement, the costumes, the symbolisms, but especially that voice! Wow!
She is absolutely signed StrongDad...she signed with Republic Records at age 14 (OMG Records) one of the top 3 record companies. This is her creation along with Rob Christie (on piano) a multiple Grammy winner and Director of Republic Records LA. This was all done with intention to honor one of her Idols, Elvis. From the Pricilla hairdo, to the 68 comeback tour guitar and the leather suit all meant to honor the King. Angelina is not like any other so called "artist" these days....she IS an artist and puts all of herself into these covers. Stay Well.
AJ is "signed". She signed with Republic Records in 2020, who allowed her to slow track until she finished school--which she will this spring.
Angelina at her best, visualizing how to pay tribute to Elvis; her rendition leaves us breathless. What an amazing talent, to take a classic, using just the right vocal ornaments, and her trademark of underscoring the lyrics with amazing layers of emotion. She sings them as a plea, the angst of wanting to save a relationship...I believe her when she says "Let our love survive"...she gives her all to this rendition, as usual she gives nothing but her best, nothing but attention to every detail, and singing from her heart to each of us...and we "Can't Help Falling in Love" with her voice, over and over.
PEACE! 🔥🎧🎶🎹🎤🎵🎼🎙️🎶🎶🔥⭐🔥⭐🔥⭐🔥⭐👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
… ELVIS and ANGELINA... my absolute favourites!! Angelina is already the greatest singer for me... Elvis anyway! … I can't even describe how incredibly good these two are!! … What a great tribute to the King! Elvis would be honored. ✨💎✨ 🕺🏻🎸🕯Thank you
Angelina signed with Republic Records (Taylor Swift, Sam Smith, etc.) in August 2020 but her family requested she be allowed as normal a childhood as possible so they have yet to fully promote her. Angelina has spent the last 3 years living in LA with her family and getting to know many in the music industry, yet in my estimation only about 15% of the general public know her. Both Angelina and Rob Christie at Republic Records have said her album is coming out later this year. Angelina said it will be mostly, if not all, original songs.
Beautiful... what a depth and richness in Angelinas voice!
Yeah! She’s something special, isn’t she? Power & Pure Velvet Perfection! This vocal arrangement was all Angelina, I have no doubt in collaboration with a stellar team including Rob Christie & Mery Zamani her Grandmother. She is a Master Storyteller. The video is shot in the same Antique Store that she did 'My Funny Valentine' on Valentine’s Day. I believe it is in LA near her home. I believe the girls in the video represent Angelina's Journey from infancy to present through the classics of music history. Thus the Antique store, She grew up studying and performing these classics. Did you notice that right foot raise it’s heal to cradle the guitar a couple of times in the performance? I was waiting for her to throw in a little shake to it in homage to the King. Could that have been intentional? That is Rob Christie on piano. Sister Juliette and a couple of Uncle Michael's Babies. I think that makes them cousins not nieces. Full Black Leather Bodysuit, the guitar from his concert in 68 and the hair a homage to Priscilla Presley. Yeah! She can bring tears to your eyes.
I base my interpretation on my knowledge of Angelina's journey from an 18 month old little girl singing a "classic" of music history 'I Will Always Love You' . She has been listening to these classics on repeat on YOUTube since then under the guidance and inspiration of her Grandmother Mery Zamani.
She has been performing these classics since her first time in studio at 6 yrs old.. She has continued this journey through her 1st introduction to the world with her "Classic'" 'Gloomy Sunday’ and following with her many performances at her many Jazz Festivals, TV performances, Concerts, and charity events, studio recordings and practice sessions at home accompanied or not. The location in the Antique store represents these classics (like the furniture) of another era. To me she portrays wonder at all these classics surrounding her. as she has travelled this road. Her tribute to Elvis is at her present age, today, each stage represented by her cousins and sister and ending with Angelina herself on the couch still admiring all this history surrounding her. The beautiful rendition of the song, and other tributes are in the leather outfit, Guitar and hair a tribute to Priscilla. Just my interpretation but it makes the most sense to me. ♥👣👸🏻
Angelina has been signed to Republic Records since she was 14 years old. The studio director of Republic Records (an affiliate of Universal Music) Rob Christie is playing the piano. Usually Angelina does the arrangements herself.
A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice Angelina Jordan is now 17 years old. Four days ago she sang in Paris at the ceremony - FIFA Football Awards 2022. This must be seen
Thank you for returning to Angelina. Your reactions to her performances are always worth watching.
The song was written by Mark James, an American singer/songwriter, who recorded it the year it was written. The best known version, however, was that done by Elvis Presley. It was his last No 1 song. In the Wikipedia entry of the origins of the song, Mark James is said to have remarked "That late one night, he was fooling around on his Fender guitar and using his Hammond organ pedals for a bass line and came up with what he thought was a catchy melody. At the time, he was married to his first wife but still had feelings for his childhood sweetheart, who was married back in Houston. James's wife had suspicions about his feelings. He felt it was a confusing time for him and that all three were "caught in this trap that they could not walk out of."
Other singers covering this song invariably base their performance on that of Elvis, in that it is very "upbeat". Angelina took a very different path in that she read and understood the lyrics and what Mark James intended when writing them . To my mind, her rendition is much truer to the emotions of the song.
The children appearing in the video were Angelina's cousins Aurora (first) and then Athena - daughters of her uncle Michael Astar, and then her sister Juliette. I would hazard a guess that they were included to emphasise that children are very important to Angelina and her family.
Confession! I have never been a great fan of Elvis Presley, although I do like some of his earlier recordings, and I had never heard of the song "Suspicious minds" but knew that Angelina would completely take ownership of it, and she did. It was beautiful. After listening to it several times, I decided to download the lyrics to see whether she kept to the original structure. She didn't, and the song is all the better for it. For me, that she started with the Bridge of the song is very significant and, I feel, very indicative of Angelina's "up front" transparency. She was declaring that it was important that their love did not die, and then carries on to say why she feels as she does. Others first say how they feel and then, almost as an afterthought, assure their love they don't want it to end. For me, it is whether I feel the singer is genuine about the situation and wishes it could be resolved or whether the singer understands the situation but thinks the blame is on her/his partner but feels the need to assure them they don't want it to end (until somebody else comes along).
Angelina has been "signed" to Republic Records since she was 14. We are expecting an album this year.
Thanks for another great reaction to & appreciation of another masterful arrangement & performance by Angelina - this time of a well known Elvis hit song. Now 17, Angelina was 16 here. To the best of my knowledge, Angelina does all of her own arrangements. And - in so doing - she allows us to to better hear & feel the lyrics & the essence of each song she sings. This was definitely a family production - the Executive Producer Mery Zamani is Angelina's grandmother, the 2 younger girls are her cousins & the older girl is her younger sister Juliette. It is also a great tribute to Elvis - Angelina's beehive hairdo is reminiscent of Priscilla Presley & her black leather jumpsuit & red Hagstrom guitar are just like Elvis used in his "Comeback Tour". Shortly after Angelina finished AGT, at age14 she signed a contract with Republic Records. Her 1st release (which she wrote herself as a tribute to her late grandfather) was Million Miles. There are several versions - lyrics only, music video & live in studio. I highly recommend the live in studio version. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
Thank you for your reaction. Angelina always make cover her on. Love her always ❤️❤️
Angelina has been signed with Republic Records since was 14 (2020) - she has an official single coming out sometime in April 2023, and an album of all originals later this year under the Republic Records label.
Angelina is always wonderfully engaging, her voice gets warmer and deeper each time and her slower version of this iconic song is truly fantastic, much closer to the emotions of the lyrics than Elvis's version. Elegant and very sweet, she really enters the heart. I also infinitely love her fantastic family that is so close to her, this video is truly a wonderful little work of art! 💛🧡❤
This is mesmerizing.
She plays the guitar in several songs, and the piano too. The latest was a couple of days ago at the FIFAs 2022 arrangement when she started playing the piano and singing. 👍 Love from Norway 🇳🇴
Gitaren her ble faktsik brukt av elvis
@@rosefinnen1015 Den ble solgt på auksjon for andre gang for 7.1 millioner norske kroner den 27 august i fjor. Mange har spekulert om at det er samme gitar 🎸 men det er ikke det. Den er svensk produsert. En Hagstrømgitar. Jeg trodde også det var original gitaren men det var det flere som sa at det er det ikke.
Angelina has been doing her own arrangements since she was 7 years old. This girl is a genius in every sense of the word, there is no one like on the face of the earth.
The baby and very little girl are Angelina's cousins, the pre-teen girl is Angelina's sister Juliette, and the piano player is Rob Christie, Director of the Republic Records LA studio who has been working with Angelina since she signed with that record label in 2020 when she was 14 - she is 16 in this video.
Dusting of an old classic she reimagined this but honours Elvis both in dress and in little vocal touches.
A very powerful but yet vulnerable vocal performance that only Angelina is capable of pulling. Great reaction Strongdad.
In the opening credits it shows that Mery Zamani is the executive producer. Mery is Angelina’s grandmother, whom also happens to be a former child prodigy herself. Mery is Angelina’s greatest creative influence and mentor.
Everything about this video paid homage to Elvis’ 1968 Come Back Special. Angelina’s bee hive hair style is what Priscilla Presley wore back in 1968. Angelina’s full length black leather outfit, the red guitar and pianist, Rob Christie’s red jump suit are also throw backs from that era.
The two youngest girls in white are Angelina’s cousins. They are her uncle Michael’s girls. Her uncle Michael is Angelina’s manager. The middle school aged girl is Angelina’s sister, Juliette.
I have been following her since she started, she is masterpiece, never stops shocking me how amazing she is. My favorite artist at this moment by far, truly a talent in so many areas.
Angelina is in always in total control of her arrangements of her cover songs. No one dictates how her songs are to song and arranged. Angelina is the total artist an the responsible for them musically and style wise. She may input from others but the final say is her hers. .
Angelina, as many of her supporting musician, whom have great respect for her arranging prowess have stated, she is the boss , but she does it always in a humble and respectful way to the musicians and staff around her. As the olde saying goes ,she marches to her own drum beat and results are always sensational.
She is signed with Republic Records and that is Rob Christy on piano who is studio head in LA. She arraigned the song and Rob did the piano to her tempo. The guitar is the twin of the one Elvis used on his 1968 Comeback Special and the black leather she wares and the red jump suit match what he and his band wore.
Mark James wrote and recorded this song in 1968. Elvis never wrote a song but did this one in 1969 which became his last number one single. His version followed the original with the man’s point of view. Angelina with her Pricilla hair dew sings it from the ladies point of view.
Angelina plays a good back up guitar and is even better on piano. Thank you
Masterpiece
The two greatest of out times: AJ and Elvis !!!
Angelina has been signed with Republic Records since she was 14. Rob Christie Playing Piano:
That dude playing the piano is Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California, and he has been working with AJ since she signed with the largest record company in the world at the age of 14, two years ago. Rob was the MC of AJ Christmas Show that aired Dec 23, of 21. AJ’s Christmas Show that live-streamed on Dec 23 of 21 had some of the most important musicians of our time: Frank Sinatra's drummer for 6 years, and sun in-law of the late Henry Mancini, Greg Field has won 9 Grammys, and the bass player, Chuck Berghofer who also played for Sinatra for 6 years, and toured with Barbara Streisand, accompanied AJ on her Christmas Show, and they stated that she had the "storytelling ability of the greats, Streisand, Fitzgerald, Vaughan, including Sinatra, to name a few. The main pianist, a five-time nominated for Grammys, Shelly Berg, stated in all his years working with the greatest vocalist, he had never encountered a talent like AJ. Did I forget to mention Jimmy Z, the famous Sax Player who worked with Rod Steward, Etta James, the Eurythmics, and Doctor Dre, was part of the band for the show? Jimmy stated that AJ was the best he has ever played for. Rob Christie Republic Records
Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California played the guitar, and was the MC of the show. (I can't list the complete backgrounds on all the band members because it would take several pages to do them justice.) Angelina stated that she would rather perform than take a breath, and she has never been forced to perform, it has been her decision.
Love the voice
Angelina signed with Republic Records in 2020. Angelina has been arranging the music for her covers for several years. She does not rearrange all the time.
AJ takes the most iconic songs we know as an exercise in educating herself and alway smash it in her way. Yet amazing us. She now have the best historical music songs in her veins, so what can we see coming out from this when she grows? I’m happy to see her putting effort in educating herself in the best of the classics. The future is going to be bright when we also remember what is achievable form the past.
I'm pleased that you are reacting to Angelina, but you need some more background: 1- she does all of her own arrangements, including as far back as "I Put a Spell on You" to which you've already reacted. 2- she signed with Republic Records in Aug22. That's Rob Christie, West Coast Director of RR backing her up on the piano (and wearing a jumpsuit similar to those Elvis' backup group wore on his comeback concert, and the red Hagstrom Viking semi-hollow body is identical to the one he used. Angelina's also wearing a black leather suit like he did at that event and sports a beehive hairdo honoring Priscilla). RR have basically given her a carte blanche contract (probably the only one her uncle would sign for her or allow her to sign). They provide support when she wants/needs it, but let her do her thing on her own like she's always done. She's sung at some major events without their involvement since signing, although I'm sure they got her into last weekend's performance at FIFA's Awards ceremony, which gave her exposure to something like 300 million soccer fans world wide. If you look on TikTok you'll find Angelina accompanying herself on her green guitar while singing "House of the Rising Sun"...I suspect that you might enjoy that one! 8-))
I think you meant that she signed in Aug. of 2020.
@@rogerevansen2882 You are correct...I obviously took a gamma ray hit, brain fade or wayward fingers. 😅
I think it was very delicate, tender, lovely and very much paying tribute in a respectful and thoughtful manner. We see that we can never expect anything less from Angelina Jordan.
You can be guaranteed that she had an enormous amount of input into the production
Angelina is ALWAYS who re-arranges the songs and covers she does. She is signed. With Republic Records. She and her family asked Republic about three years ago when she signed with them, to please allow her time to finish her schooling. Republic has been awesome and has held her with great care and supporting her every time she wanted to do a cover or whatever ... they have been fabulous with her. School ends this year and with that comes the record they've been working on together. She is endlessly busy singing .. with tik toks and tons of You Tubes .. always magnificently energetic and never letting a day go by without something to share with us all. We are all looking forward to her record and to her become one of the amazing musicians in the Union and fully can imagine her shining forth and the process of letting the world truly get to know her. I enjoyed your reaction. Thanks so much.
Grammy winner Rob Christie is on the piano. He is head of studio productions for Republic records. He has accompanied Angelina on several covers over the last several years. It is no accident that she is signed to Republic. Rob has become friend and mentor to Angelina and her family. Her Uncle Michael Astar, has been her agent and manager since she won Norway's got talent at age 8. This is the greatest female vocalist to ever live. She has always since age 6, arranged her own music. She had her own band full time after Norway's got talent. This cover was in tribute to the release of the Elvis documentary released last summer. The guitar was barrowed by Elvis from one his band members during the 1969 TV Comeback Concert. This guitar is not the same one but it is one of the same make, model, and color, which matched Elvis outfit that day. The child is Uncle Michaels baby daughter, the older beautiful young girl is Angelina's sister Juliette. Hope this helps you learn about this gift to us all, Angelina Jordan Astar. Ther is much to learn about her. This is just a few tidbits. She will be releasing an album later this year of songs that she has written.
AJ certainly does all her own vocal arrangements. In this case they do give credit to Rob (for the piano arrangement). Rob has been her guide, mentor, accompanist, fan and friend since Republic signed her. It's a hand annd glove collaboration.
It's all a tribute to Elvis. The black leather outfit, the red guitar, the blue velvet shoes, and Priscilla's beehive. I never really cared about Elvis, but, as it happened so often, Angelina showed me the true meaning of a song/artist.
Our tiny little girl with the grownup voice was 17 on Jan. 10, 23 and is now 6'1" tall and could be a super model, but I hope the major portion of her career will be dedicated to her music and taking the world to a better place. I don't think she even realizes this power she holds over us and the need to hear that signature voice to fill that empty void within all of us. Angelina Jordan is in fact the "Benchmark" for all other vocalist to try as they might to achieve. I have a number of pictures of celebrities whose height is known, for example, Austin Butler, who played Elvis, is 6ft tall, and AJ published a picture of her standing next to him, she was at least 1 inch taller than him, and she had to look down at him.
I love the whole video, also when Angelina play some accord on the red guitar as a tribiute to Elvis, and she always arrange her songs❣️
Angelina chooses all her covers and does all of her own arrangements, although she has at her disposal Republic Records' huge infrastructure. She signed with them at age 14 as "highest priority new artist." The piano player is Rob Christie, a double Grammy winner, who is Republic's L.A. Studio director. They have done several videos together - a really good team. I believe that the director for this video, who has also worked before with Angelina, also works for Republic. Here Angie wore the style of Elvis' leather suit and her hair was in the style of his wife. The guitar was the same model, and maybe the same one, that Elvis used in his "comeback" concert. Angelina plays the guitar quite well now and the piano too (see many TikTok videos). She is said to also play the flute and violin, but I have not ever seen them played by her. Angie studied music theory and arrangement at an after-school performing artist academy when she was very young.
She does all her own arrangements and directs the music
crazy ive listened to it so much i get chills before she start singing lol
The mirror is about Angelina reflecting the style of the past...the kids (her cousins and sister) represent that Angelina has been visiting this store (Gallery on Melrose), which is owned by a family friend, since she was a baby - it's one of her favourite places...the guitar is owned by Rob Christie, the man playing the piano, who is the multi Grammy awarded studio head at Republic records, with whom she signed when she was 14...Angelina does all her own arrangements and has done since she was about 7-8
first to say this is a maybe educated guess or speculation of me without proof at all how Angelina goes into a new Cover - first she read the lyrics and Prozesses them in her Magic mind how the meanig can be expressed the most sincere - than she works out a melody to it and fusion lyrics and music together - at last she listened to the Real music and choose how that fit best and in this Video you see the conclusion - Angelina will be the Goat in the music books to come
Shamans
Genius: Exceptional intellectual or creative power, the greatest musical genius of our time is Angelina Jordan. Can one be hypnotized by sound? Shamans use rhythmic drumming and chanting to achieve control over a mind. Angelina's is unique in that she has the ability to create audios that trigger your brains "frequency following response". She has the ability to create a euphoric addiction to her total being similar to drugs, but without the side effects, she is in fact, like nothing I have ever experienced in the past, or more than likely to in the future. Extraterrestrials, If you have ever questioned whether there are extraterrestrials among us, you now know it to be true, it is the only explanation for this being, Angelina Jordan.
I weep like a baby every time I hear her sing
Angelina has been doing her own arrangements for years.
I enjoyed your reaction it's awesome to share your Angelina journey with all of us.
Aside from her hair style, leather boots, black leather outfit & the subtle dust cloud from uncovering the piano...
There is another fun fact that I noticed...
Angelina's guitar was NOT a PROP as some reactors have commented in the past. She plays guitar as well as several other instruments. She could have used any guitar but she chose to pay homage to the king by using that particular model. Elvis used that guitar model in his '68 TV Comeback Special. A Hagstrom '67 Viking II Semi-Hollow Body, Transparent Wild Cherry, which recently sold at auction for $500,000 dollars.
Playing piano is Rob Christie, Grammy award winner, music producer as well as Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group, her new recording label.
The creativity displayed by Angelina here (the arrangement, the visuals, the attention to detail) is a talent that Angelina inherited from her Grandma according to Angelina’s Mom, Sarah Astar.
And you won’t be surprised to find out that her Grandmother, Mery Zamani is the Executive producer of this video. As the producer, she had the ability (and insight) to include all FOUR of her granddaughters in this video (the two young ones are Angelina’s cousins, the young girl sitting in the chair is Angelina’s sister).
Angelina has described her grandmother as her “inspiration”, her “best friend”, her “everything”. Meri is the one who exposed Angelina to jazz music at the age of TWO and also directed as well as produced many of Angelina’s early music videos. The two of them are like two peas in a pod. 🎶💚👣
This re-arrangement is hers, as is the case with all her covers. She signed with Republic Records (best company in the music business) when she was 14, with the stipulation that they would allow her to be a "normal" teenager and not promote her big time until she graduated high school (this coming May/June). She has been paired with Grammy winner Rob Christie (Direction of RR LA Studio), and together they have created some of the best music I've ever heard. Having just turned 17, she just performed with Redone at the FIFA 2023 Awards Ceremony with a viewing audience of about 300M worldwide. She will be a worldwide SuperStar.
Jordan Simon, public records, and the age of 14 he still with them
She is signed but finishing school before she really starts her career. This was one condition of her contract.
She has always done her own arrangements, some times with collaborators.
At 14 years old she actually signed with Republic Records.
They agreed to not release her album until she finishes school.
Great choice as they are letting her do her own thing.
Great reaction, God Bless!
Angelina takes part in arrangements for every song she does. She was signed by Republic Records well over 2 years ago and the pianist in this video is Rob Christie, music director for Republic Records. I believe he assisted in the arrangement for this one. But Angelina is the boss! She has released a few songs since she signed with Republic.
A million miles, original song
7th Heaven, original song
All I ask, Adele cover
Easy on me, Adele cover
I have nothing, Whitney Houston cover
There may be a couple more but these are the most notable that I can think of at the moment. You should definitely check out her original songs! Thanks.
Signed with Republic. She does her own arranging. She is an Ancient Soul and a once in a generation singer. She is the captain of her own ship.
Welcome back! Thank you for your reaction to our barefoot princess!
Now 17 years old and living in Los Angeles, she is signed with a major record company called Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records have agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. Apparently, it looks like this is the year that she will be finished and her new album of new music is coming out later this year. When it comes to arrangements of her songs, she makes most of, if not all, the decisions on how she wants to do a song.
In many of Angelina's covers, she will pay tribute to the artists of the songs she covers. In this one, she is extending homage to Elvis. She also does her own arrangements or, at least, has very much input into the way her music is done. In this case, she departed from Elvis by slowing the tune down and singing it in a way the lyrics actually ask for. Elvis covered it like the original, a virtual pop "dance" tune, although the lyrics are a sad, emotional and heartbreaking tale of an impending breakup and lost love. Angelina sings the song as it should be performed.
This was Elvis's last number one song.
In this video she is dressed as Elvis was in his " '68 Comeback Special" TV program. Leather from top to bottom. Her hair is done up in a "bee hive" style that Elvis liked his wife Pricilla to wear.
The red guitar is a contemporary Hagstrom reproduction of a 1967 Viking II. Elvis had borrowed it from Al Casey, one of the session musicians of the Comeback Special band. The original guitar recently sold at auction for over $660,000.
The piano and mic are like the ones in the Sun studio in Memphis, where Elvis started his recording career. The piano player is Rob Christie, a top studio exec at her label, Republic Records. He is dressed in the same garb as the '68 Special bandmembers were in that broadcast.
The young girl(s), Angelina's relatives, are a nod to Elvis's and Pricilla's kid, Lisa Marie, may God love her soul. The last segment of the children shows Angelina's sister, Juliette, as a 9 year old Lisa Marie. That was how old Lisa was when her dad died. Many reactors guess that the children in this video denotes Angelina growing up, but all the symbolisms is about Elvis and not Angelina.
There is a short segment of Angelina reposing on a couch. She is wearing what look like mismatched shoes. One is blue suede, yes?
Many of the antique shop artifacts, particularly the old red fabric chair in the background seem "fit for a king".
The artistic production may have been by her executive producer and grandmom, Mery Zamani. Mery is a well known artist from Iran who had her hand in other Angelina artwork, including the outfit Angelina wore on "AGT the Champions" show, and the artwork on Angelina's first original Republic video "Million Miles - lyrics version".
With a little help from her friends (and family), Angelina is leaving a profound legacy in the world of music and art. She is "ASTAR", literally and figuratively.
She arranges ALL of her music
Hi strong man ! 😄 When Angelina begins the first seconds here (but often too) are like an uppercut ! It's a great movie with a lot of references to Elvis and Priscilla, the presence of her sister juliette and two cousins is cute ! As we see at the begining her grandma Merry Zamani is executive producer so I thinh she want to have her four grandchildren both in this video ! She can be proud I think !
ESTOU AQUI NO BRASIL .
Meu nome Solange tenho 60 anos.
Quando esculto a voz de Angelina
fechar meus olhos volto no tempo.
Ela Angelina faz do jeito dela.
Ela Faz de coração ❤ para todos.
Thanks for reacting to this amazing performance by Angelina.
The Barefoot Angel signed a contract with Republic Records on 2020 at 14 years old, and she has the rights to continue with her own style of music because no one is capable to match her talent in arrange her music. Of course, she is open to suggestions by the experts in moving ahead in her music journey, but the ultimate decision is hers.
Thanks for your reaction and for your support of Angelina. Here is an important message.
To all Angels....We all enjoy watching reaction videos because it gives us the chance to share reactors' experiences with the emotions we initially felt when we first viewed an artist's performance. Reactions are entertaining, and the channels deserve our support. But we must realize that although reaction videos attract some new fans, we need to be mindful that there are very important actions we must take to introduce artists like Angelina, and even reactors, to a vastly wider audience. For Angelina, that means providing her the opportunity to share her music, and to spread her message of love and empathy.
Angels, please support Angelina just by watching two videos per day, in their entirety, either from her Official or Cover channel. Ensure that you like and post a new comment, and also like, and reply to existing comments when inspired. More angels participating is the most direct way we can support Angelina on TH-cam, which will then recommend her videos to millions more people. Reactors who truly appreciate you and their featured artists will encourage you to take these actions for the artists' as well as their own channels. Recognize your favorites by liking, commenting, and subscribing to their channels as well. Peace and love.
She just performed the FIFA World's Best Player of the Year Awards Ceremony which went to Messi. Millions + watching worldwide . She performed "You're the Best" the theme song for the program along with Red 1. She owned the stage. 👣
She just fulfilled another wish. To sing to the whole world. Millions from what I understand and World Wide. She did that here. She expressed that wish several times when she was younger including her interview on NGT. 👣 Its on the FIFA page about 1:23 into the video. Copyright issues.
@@sip4119 Just had this conversation with another Angel & he had heard about 800,000 + watched live and 6 million + on the FIFA website. We believe the 300 million # came from the games not the Award Ceremony. That's worldwide in about 3 days. Love to hear support for that verified #.
@@OleOlson121 The games final had about 1.5 billion estimated views. The 300 million number is an estimate for the awards ceremony. I don't know how reliable it is, but TV viewership is the lion's share, Internet viewership is comparatively minuscule.
Yup, a portion of the world . . . . . soccer fans ! ! ( & A n g e l i n a fans ! ) Still, that is a decent start ! !
She's getting there .
---- In a March 3, 2023 published interview with the Swedish daily newspaper Aftonbladet (published in Stockholm, Sweden and it is one of the largest daily newspapers in the Nordic countries):
- Angelina said wrote all songs for new album and is excited to share what she has been working upon
- The songs will have a retro vibe inspired by the 1960's
- The launch for her album is to begin in the US and then Angelina will be going to Europe
- Her first single is scheduled to be released at the end of April
- The album is scheduled to be released in the fall
This was entirely her arrangement.... she always arranges her own music.. and yes I think the girls - her sister and young cousins - probably represent Angelina at earlier ages... the white dresses strongly suggest that
It's been a long time between reactions Jaz ! Glad to have you back to hear our barefoot princess ! So many more videos to watch ! I would suggest her studio version of " I Have Nothing " at 16 that is a mind blowing rendition of Whitney's Houston iconic song ! The live version in Norway last year was so fabulous in an outdoor concert setting ! Thanks for returning to Angelina ! Sending much love from Canada ! 👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️
Her cover is more like the original than Elivis's version.
Great Reaction; Regarding the arrangement of the song, as you get to know more about this talented artist you’ll learn her musicians refer to he as “the boss” with respect for her talent and creativity so she will have been “all over this”
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Angelina has signed with Republic, I believe right after AGT, and we expect her first released album to occur Spring/Summer this year. She brings us joy, she makes us cry, and we really love her a lot. Oh, I like your reactions, but you've barely scratched the surface.
She started the bridge from one of the mole much does a mini Tonka light love you like I said they saw Elvis Presley movie all saw him singing this song I didn’t understand what you’re saying, but she bought it down this level I saw begin understand what the songs about now she made it better so that he could understand it. She has a cheer the musical genius Ridgeville, her own stuff.
It’s a tribute to Elvis. The movie had just come out.
She arranges all her own stuff and the guitar was Elvis. She has put the focus back on lyrics and the single instruments often accompaniment let’s you hear them better. Refreshing to not have everything so loud and singers screaming to be heard. She never has to scream .
👍👍😍😍
My interpretation of the symbolism of this music video: First, and foremost; Angelina Jordan at 16 is the epitome of a Storytelling ARTIST, and she has the ability to take us by the hand and lead us down an imaginary path that we visualize as reality. The remarkable fact is that we experience this in each of her performances. In this video we see her as a married woman in her mid to late 20s. As the video starts out, we see dishes, and it is a symbol of a home. As AJ sings the phrase “Were caught in a trap, I can’t walk out” we see 3 small children, this to me is a marriage where the children come first. If it were AJ by herself, she would not stay in a relation without trust.
Wow🎉

Great reaction as always😊 quite an interesting backdrop you have today...it looks like you have a mannequin behind you?
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Her Uncle was instrumental (sorry bad pun) in training her with music and instruments while her grandmother helped nurture her artistic side. On top of that she had a family friend author that nurtured her writing and she already has a best seller. Incredibly while she has this amazing support her mother made sure Angelina called shots and was free to express herself without been overshadowed by the talent around her. There is a great online documentary about her if you want to know more.
Also while she has now signed her mother also delayed that as long as possible for obvious reasons.
Finally she performs barefoot because in subtle awareness campaign on poverty. The whole story is touching but to long for here.
she arranges her songs
She is signed to republic, on the condition she has creative control, she’s not to be a sausage in the pop machine
😎
🤩👣🧡🧡🙌❣️
