Absolutely! Angelina is incredibly talented and has a unique ability to connect with her audience through her music. Her passion really shines through in every performance. It's great to see so many people appreciating her artistry! ❤🎶

What a heartfelt and passionate tribute to Angelina Jordan! Your enthusiasm for her music and artistry truly shines through, and it’s wonderful to see such a deep connection between an artist and her fans. You’ve beautifully captured the essence of what makes her singing so profound-the emotional depth, her ability to tell stories through her music, and her unique vocal qualities that give her performances that special "something." The comparison to legends like Elvis, Etta James, and Frank Sinatra illustrates the timeless nature of her style and the way she honors the greats while making their songs her own. Your thoughts on the importance of how a song begins and ends also resonate deeply. A strong opening can indeed draw listeners in, while a memorable conclusion can leave a lasting impression. Angelina's talent in both areas seems to be one of the many reasons her artistry stands out. I'm glad to hear about her upcoming performance at The Alex Theatre! It sounds like an exciting opportunity for fans to experience her magic live. Your efforts to spread the word and support her shows a dedication that is commendable. Thank you for sharing such a rich and thoughtful perspective on Angelina Jordan's music and impact. It’s always a pleasure to witness such genuine admiration for a talented artist. If there’s anything specific about her music or career that you’d like to discuss further, feel free to share!
Thank you for your kind words! It does seem like there’s a little theme going on with those Valentine songs! “My Funny Valentine” is such a classic with its beautiful melody and poignant lyrics, while “Bad Valentine” adds an interesting twist to the celebration of love. Songs with Valentine's themes often explore a range of emotions, from the bliss of romance to the complexities of love.
It's true that each artist has their own unique vocal qualities and style, and Angelina's sound is truly distinct. While Amy Winehouse was celebrated for her powerful, soulful voice and her ability to convey deep emotion through her music, Angelina brings her own special touch that sets her apart. Angelina's vocal control, phrasing, and the subtle nuances she incorporates into her performances create a sound that feels fresh and captivating. Both artists have their strengths, and it’s wonderful to appreciate the diversity in their approaches to music. Each voice tells a different story, and it's incredible how artists like Angelina can evoke emotions that resonate with listeners in a truly unique way.
Great reaction. Very in-depth and I appreciate it. Angelina really understands music. She is very special and very knowledgeable on how to use her voice.
Thank you for your kind words! I’m glad to hear you found the reaction insightful. Angelina Jordan truly is a remarkable artist, and her deep understanding of music is evident in her performances. The way she utilizes her voice to convey emotion and connect with her audience demonstrates a maturity beyond her years. Her ability to interpret and reimagine songs speaks to her knowledge of musical styles and techniques, making her stand out in a field of talented artists. It’s exciting to see how she continues to grow and explore new dimensions in her music. What specific aspects of her singing or interpretations resonate the most with you?
Wow, it sounds like that performance really struck a chord with you! Angelina has a unique way of using her voice that can evoke such strong emotions. Those distinctive vibrational tones can create an immersive experience, and it's no surprise you've listened to it so many times. It's great to find music that resonates so deeply.
@@TheWordSmith365 yes over the years Angelina has spoiled my musical taste buds. I had given up on most modern music. Now after Angelina, and all her Jazz influence, I came to have great respect for the musc of the 1920s-1940s. I found the nature of music changed drastically in the 50s and the purity, if that's the word for it, had been tainted in the 60s and up and those in the industry saw the response to Elvis and Beatles mania, most music became manufactured instead of being expressive. One sidenote I will mention was the excessive influence on love in the 40s. Making people feel better during world events and pressured listeners to want to start and grow families and relationships. I rather have love then sex drugs and rock n roll.
Thank you so much for that lovely compliment! It truly means a lot to me. I’m just passionate about sharing my love for music and helping others appreciate it too. Your support motivates me to keep going! 😊🎶
Thank you so much for your kind words! I truly appreciate your support and I'm glad you enjoyed my reaction. Angelina's rendition is indeed beautiful and deserves all the recognition it gets! ❤
I completely agree! Angelina brings a unique touch to the song that makes it stand out from all the others. Her emotional depth and artistry truly shine through in her performance. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Absolutely! One of the hallmarks of a great artist is their ability to make personal choices in their performance while maintaining a sense of taste and artistry. Angelina's attention to detail and emotional connection to the music really sets her apart. It's impressive how she can convey such vulnerability and strength through her interpretations. It's always a joy to witness an artist who blends personal expression with exceptional skill.
Thank you for your great reaction, I love this masterpiece only she would sing it like this , just sublime , my favourite version of this song and one of my favourite vocals by anyone, indeed all my favourite vocals are from AJ no one lives in my heart like she does even when she isn't singing, you listen to her with the ears of the heart it is not like anyone else, she is a true pioneer elevating everything she touches, I hope the world evolves itself enough to appreciate the mastery and love of this beautiful unique being .💜👣😇
What a heartfelt tribute to Angelina Jordan! Your passion for her artistry really shines through. It's clear that her unique interpretation of songs resonates deeply with you, making her performances feel like an unforgettable experience. The way you describe listening to her “with the ears of the heart” beautifully captures the emotional connection she creates through her music. It’s inspiring to see how her talent can touch so many lives and how you hope for greater appreciation of her artistry. She truly has a way of elevating each piece she performs, making them her own while bringing out their essence.
She also did this song when she was much younger (I think 8 maybe) . Very impressive and cute 🥰. You should check that out. Excellent reaction my friend 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Absolutely! It's amazing to see how she has grown as an artist from such a young age. Her talent at just 8 years old is truly impressive and showcases her incredible gift. I’ll definitely check out that performance! Thank you for the recommendation, and I appreciate your kind words about the reaction! If you have any other favorite performances or songs from her, I would love to hear about them! 🥰🎶
She performed it twice before this version. First was age 9 in a live concert with piano & sax backing her, then a live version at 10 singing to a backing track while sitting in a chair at home. Both are amazing for a child, but this version, at barely 16, is the "Gold Standard" for this song, IMO.
This is the best rendition of this song I’ve ever heard. When Angelina chooses to cover another artist’s songs she takes ownership of them with her arrangements and supremely gifted vocal acuity.
I completely agree! Angelina Jordan has a remarkable talent for making each cover her own. Her unique arrangements and vocal precision really bring a fresh perspective to the songs she chooses. It’s impressive how she not only pays homage to the original artists but also injects her own style and emotion into the performance.
Loved reaction and analysis of this incredible performance by Angelina. This is one of my favorite vocal performances by AJ. I love the the whole performance but especially her vocal slides on the word “smaarrt”. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Angelina Jordan’s ability to incorporate vocal slides and other expressive techniques really elevates her performances, and that moment on the word “smaarrt” is a perfect example of her artistry. It adds a unique flair and showcases her creativity in singing. Her performances often blend technical proficiency with emotional depth, making them truly memorable. It’s great to hear that this particular performance stands out to you. What do you enjoy most about her overall style and approach to music?
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the reaction! Angelina Jordan has delivered so many incredible performances, and it's always exciting to hear which ones resonate most with different listeners. Her ability to convey emotion and connect with her audience really sets her apart. If you have any specific highlights from that performance that stood out to you or other performances you love, I’d love to hear about them!
Wow, what an incredible compliment! Thank you so much! I’m honored to be compared to someone as talented as Angelina Jordan. I strive to bring my passion and insights to my reactions and analyses, just like she does with her music. Your support really motivates me, and I’m grateful to share this journey with such amazing viewers. Let’s keep celebrating the art together!
She doesn’t dismiss a single vowel. She doesn’t diminish any a note. She makes every breath import. She uses the whole spice rack to flavor her master concoction of voice and music to delight the tastes of the ear and the soul. Thanks 🙏
What a beautifully crafted description! It really captures the essence of an artist who fully embraces her craft, ensuring that every vowel, note, and breath adds depth to her performance. The imagery of using the "whole spice rack" is particularly evocative, emphasizing the creativity and uniqueness she brings to her music. It sounds like she has a profound ability to resonate with her audience on both an emotional and sensory level. Thank you for sharing such a poetic appreciation-it's always wonderful to celebrate artistry in such a thoughtful way!
❤️❤️❤️❤️👣 Angelina is just magical, and there is no other way to describe her. I would correct you however, she is not one in a million , she is one in a lifetime.
Absolutely! There’s something truly enchanting about Angelina Jordan that sets her apart from everyone else. Describing her as "one in a lifetime" captures the essence of her uniqueness and the rare talent she possesses. Her ability to connect with listeners on such a deep emotional level while showcasing a remarkable vocal prowess is a gift that’s hard to find. It's evident that her artistry resonates deeply with you, and it's always special to find an artist whose work moves you so profoundly. What specific moments in her performances have struck you the most?
@TheWordSmith365 Wicked Game, I Know i'm Not The Only One, and How Great Thou Art, lastly Wake Me Up. If you read the Wikipedia page about Avicii prior to listening to Angelina sing his song, it greatly enhances the experience. Particularly the open letter Avicii's parents wrote after his suicide. Angelina remakes his song into a goodbye to her friend, and it is hard to tell where he stops, and she begins it always causes tears when she sings, " They say I'm too young to understand." Also, when she sings," I tried carrying the weight of the world, but I only have two hands."
Thank you for always giving wonderful and informative reactions! This is absolutely one of my favorite by her. Her vibrato is beyond beautiful, and you really got drawn into her singing. A masterpiece! 👌🔥🔥🔥❤️
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the reaction and found it informative. Angelina's vibrato and emotional depth truly make her performances exceptional, and it’s always a joy to share that appreciation with others. She really is a masterpiece of an artist! Your support means a lot! 👌🔥❤️
Thank you so much! I'm thrilled to hear that this performance is one of your favorites. It really is a masterpiece, showcasing incredible talent and technique. I appreciate your kind words-it's always great to connect with fellow music lovers!
You truly are a wordsmith! You express my thoughts and feelings on Angelina's beautiful vocal renderings. She always takes me on a wonderful journey, but this performance allows me to travel to many past experiences. Please continue to share your thoughts on our angel. She truly is a gift from heaven!
Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot that my thoughts resonate with yours. Angelina’s voice truly has a remarkable way of evoking memories and emotions, allowing us to revisit past experiences while guiding us through each song’s narrative. Her ability to convey depth and feeling in her performances is indeed a gift. It’s wonderful how music can act as a bridge to our memories, making each experience feel so personal and profound. I would love to continue sharing thoughts about her artistry and the impact she has on her audience. What specific moments or songs of hers have touched you the most? Your insights would be a joy to explore!
Dankie, Carl. Jy bly een van die beste ontleders van Angelina se talent en sing vermoë. Ongelukkig is daar een van jou stellings oor haar talent wat ek nie met jou kan saamstem nie en dit is"one in a million". She is one of a kind .
Dankie vir jou vriendelike woorde! Ek waardeer jou perspektief oor Angelina se talent. Dit is waar dat sy ongelooflik uniek is en 'n spesiale kwaliteit het wat haar van ander onderskei. Ek glo almal het hul eie interpretasie van haar kuns, en dit is wonderlik om verskillende standpunte te hoor!
I'm glad to hear that! If you have any specific aspects you love about it or if there’s anything else you'd like to explore or discuss, just let me know! I'm here to help!
This is the most sensual rendition of this song I have ever experienced. I believe her mom Sara had the vocals overdubbed to bring separation from the video that would otherwise present Angelina as a sultry lounge singer and not simply a beautiful teenage girl that is meandering through an antique furnishings establishment while simply daydreaming as many teenage girls are known to do. The breathy effects, learned from the great Billie Holiday, are beyond compare.
That’s a captivating perspective! It sounds like Angelina has delivered a truly unique interpretation that balances sensuality with youthful innocence. The choice to overdub vocals can certainly create a distinct atmosphere, allowing the viewer to engage with the performance on multiple levels. The influence of Billie Holiday is indeed powerful; her ability to infuse emotion and subtlety into her singing is something many artists aspire to replicate. It’s interesting how portraying a character can add depth to a performance, making it more relatable while still showcasing exceptional musical talent. Angelina's ability to capture that dreamy, almost nostalgic feel while referencing such iconic influences speaks to her artistry. Do you think this approach helps her connect with a broader audience?
@@TheWordSmith365 With regard to a broader audience, I believe it will come with time, for once a listener has truly been exposed to her depth of singing ability, you have to come away truly impressed. As they say in the industry, 'she is the complete package'. Being 18 in a world of musicality that is so flooded with different artists, it takes a while to break through those barriers but I've never seen a more dedicated young singer for the amount of years she has been plying her trade and 'in time' that will pay off. Give her the material and the masses will come!
"Love is promise, love is a souvenir, once given, never forgotten, never let it disappear.!!!" - John Lennon [ Ms. Angelina Jordan Angel Fan's Family ]
To continue your analogy comparing Angelina's performance with driving a car. For me, her singing takes me on a journey. Angelina is driving the car as I get to live the story of the song. There are so many beautiful sights along the way as we understand the characters in the story. Angelina is having a concert to debut NEW songs, on September 20th at the Alex Theater in Glendale, California. Tickets on sale on Ticketmaster.
What a beautiful analogy! Angelina's performances truly do take listeners on an immersive journey, allowing us to experience the emotions and stories behind each song. The way she navigates the music-like a skilled driver-enables us to appreciate all the intricate details along the way. It’s exciting to hear about her concert at the Alex Theater! Debuting new songs is always such a thrilling experience for both the artist and the audience. It sounds like a night to remember! Are there any particular songs you're hoping she'll perform?
Beautiful, in-depth analysis and reaction to one of my absolute favorite performances by Angelina. Her birthday is January 10th and Valentine's Day (when this was posted) is on Feb 14th, so she had JUST turned 16 here, or was possibly still 15 at the time of recording. Vocal mastery extraordinaire right there 🙂 I love your reactions, Carl. Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the analysis-Angelina's talent truly shines in this performance, especially considering her age at the time. It’s wonderful to hear from fans all the way from Norway! Much love back to you, and I appreciate you sharing your thoughts! ❤️😊
Very well done reaction ! I feel like a dirty old man every time I watch this performance. From an 18 month old singing Whitney to a 16 year old in this one with the most innocent yet sultry rendition of this beautiful classic. Thank you for doing more Angelina reactions and I just subscribed
Thank you so much for the compliment and for subscribing! I completely understand what you mean; Angelina has a unique way of blending innocence with a captivating presence in her performances. It’s incredible to see how she has evolved as an artist from such a young age. If you have any specific performances or songs in mind that you'd like to see reactions to, feel free to share! Your support means a lot, and I look forward to bringing you more Angelina reactions!
That was an absolutely wonderful analysis if this Masterpiece by Angelina. Over the last 6 years, I have listened to everything sung by her & this is still my #1 vocal performance, so far. It's too bad that we don't see her singing it. This song has been one of my all-time favorites for 50+ years & it's been recorded by over 500 different singers, including many legendary vocal artists of the past & present. I would say that Frank Sinatra is only 1 of many legendary jazz artists that have recorded amazing versions of this Classic song, but to me, this one is the best. When she becomes the legend that we all know she will be, this will be studied as a Masterclass in music schools. You might want to hear her 18 yo "live" version she sang in Vegas last Feb. It's her "adult" version which is very sensual, sultry & super jazzy. Here's the link in case you want to check it out for yourself. th-cam.com/video/LUM9vaM4nXw/w-d-xo.html Both versions are stunningly beautiful, but obviously the audio of the studio version you just heard is better than the cellphone recorded version from Vegas, but it's still quite good.
Keith, the Las Vegas version is the first time she performed this song live after she sang this very sultry version at 16. In Vegas, she realized she was still too young to sing it with the sultriness of the 16 year old version. I mean, it’s no wonder Sara didn’t want her to perform it live until she got older. Jordan has an innate natural sexuality about her that no one wants to admit or acknowledge. Within a few years, she is going to be the most sought after bachelorette in the world, and will have her pick of any young billionaire she so chooses. But he will have to live up to her extremely high standards of morality and humanitarianism!
@@kerrythomas6220 well, because the unusual circumstances. It’s basic human nature. Angelina should become a leader in her field. And expand her reach. My only hope is that she continues to show class and strength. I’ve often used the word “natural “ because it is just who she is. However without spiritual guidance this incredible woman could stumble as we know this playbook already too well. May her shield continue to hold her safe and protect forever and always.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and insights! It’s clear that Angelina's performances resonate deeply with you, and it’s amazing to hear how this song has become such a cherished part of your musical journey. The fact that it has been interpreted by numerous legendary artists speaks volumes about its impact, and it’s a testament to Angelina's artistry that her version stands out among such esteemed company. I completely agree that her potential to become a legendary figure in music is evident, and her performances will likely inspire future generations of artists. It's exciting to think about how her work will be studied and appreciated in music schools, just as we admire the classics today. I appreciate you providing the link to her live performance! I’m looking forward to experiencing the sensual and sultry nuances you mentioned. It’s always fascinating to see how an artist adapts a song in a live setting, bringing a fresh perspective to a well-loved classic. I’ll definitely check it out!
Great reaction and truly intelligent and informative breakdown of Angelina's vocals ! You're absolutely one of the very best vocal analysts in the You Tube community ! I enjoy your commentary so much ! Angelina Jordan is truly a world class artist ! Her jazz influenced background gives her an extremely open vocal vocabulary that she can pull up at any one time ! I think Angelina was only 15 or 16 at the time of this recording ! Keep posting my friend. You are so so much appreciated by all the Angels all over the world. Sending much thanks and love from Canada 👍🇨🇦❤️
Thank you so much for your kind words! It’s wonderful to hear that you appreciate the breakdown of Angelina Jordan’s vocals. She truly is a remarkable artist, and her jazz background really does give her an incredible range and style. It’s amazing to see such talent at such a young age. Your support and appreciation for the community are deeply valued. Sending warm wishes right back to you in Canada!
Wonderful reaction and analysis and explanation. You yourself are a master of the reaction craft 🥲. Among many AJ classics, this is one of her very best. And YES this is filmed in the same location as she used for Suspicious Minds.... And one rendition of Whitney Houston's I will always love you: the Melrose Gallery, LA.
Thank you for your heartfelt message! I'm glad you enjoyed the reaction and analysis. Angelina's performances are truly captivating, and it's always interesting to learn about the locations where she filmed. Funny you mention the 'I Will Always Love You' cover by AJ, because that's my next reaction to her. I appreciate your insights and support! 🥰🎤✨
@@TheWordSmith365 Nice! (Edited) The Whitney song she did at this location was I Have Nothing. She's done it several times! The one at that gallery is in black and white. That song is particularly meaningful to her, memorable renditions include: 1) at age 13, in Whitney's key - I'm sure she viewed it as a challenge; 2) Norway 2022 summer concert , dedicated it to her grandma Mery who had just had cancer surgery; 3) at her first US headlining concert in Portsmouth NH Sept 2023 (I was there; unforgettable), spread her arms at the end to indicate how she feels about her 'angels'.
Steve, the B&W Whitney song she recorded at the Melrose Gallery is I Have Nothing, not I Will Always Love You. Besides her 1 1/2 yo version , the only time I remember her singing I Will Always Love You, was an impromptu version with Guitarist Egil Clausen when she was 11 yo.
Thanks fore your reaction on this amazing song. I just need to comment your history here. You right this is from 1937, but originates from a musical where the teenaged star Mitzi Green performed this song. Frank Sinatra is one of 600 and one covers, where Fran S came with his version 1955. Angelina works from with the original from 1937, which you correctly state. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Funny_Valentine
Thank you for sharing that information! It's fascinating to trace the origins of a song and see how it has evolved through the years. Mitzi Green's performance as the original artist definitely deserves recognition, and it's impressive to think about how many artists, including Frank Sinatra, have covered it since then. Angelina Jordan’s interpretation truly honors the original while adding her own unique flair. It's amazing how music can connect us across generations. Are there any other songs with rich histories like this that you enjoy?
Hi Kerry... Thanks, I actually love them both. Each version is special to me. Both versions are probably the best pure jazz that I have ever heard and I'm 70.... from a 16 and 18 year old. The 16 year old version is gorgeous... must have listened to it 200 times... We have a lot to look forward to from this phenomenon. I hope you can attend the concert on September 20...
@@Bronxlenny3591 I can’t. I have Stage IV Cancer and it’s impossible for me to travel across the country. I live in Atlanta, but I did introduce Jordan to my neuropathy therapist, who, as of last week had never heard of her, and is now lost in Mad Hatter land lol! Today I told her about the Sept 20 concert and she’s gonna take her husband and daughter. Denise is following her on TH-cam, Instagram and TikTok. Today as I was leaving, she was introducing a new patient to Jordan. It’s like a geometric progression word of mouth. But she just must get on television for maximum exposure to the American public. No one is ever successful in the US without being on television and getting exposure. Not everyone has computers and the internet, but everybody has television with at least ABC, CBS and NBC. where all the talk shows are. Getting on those programs and promoting your albums and concerts is paramount to success in a country where no one knows who you are. The patient Denise was talking to when I left had never heard of Jordan, as does no one in Atlanta when I ask about her. Hopefully, that’s about to change, but her management team certainly needs to change their marketing strategy!
Thank you for the recommendation! I’m eager to check out Angelina’s 18-year-old live version from her Las Vegas concert in February 2024. It's fascinating to see how her interpretations of songs evolve over time, and I’m sure that performance will showcase her growth and artistry even more. Live performances often bring a unique energy that’s hard to capture in studio recordings. I'll definitely look it up!
Find her in Concert. February 29. 2024, Las Vegas. Doing this same song in a different way. She has done this song about 4 times. From she was about 9 years going on 10. This 2022. 16 year old.
That sounds exciting! Angelina's concerts are always a treat, and it's fascinating to see how she reinterprets the same song at different stages in her life. Each performance brings something fresh, showcasing her growth as an artist. It's amazing to think she started performing this song at such a young age and has continued to evolve. If you have the chance to attend the concert in Las Vegas on February 29, 2024, it’s sure to be a memorable experience!
That's an interesting observation! Ella Fitzgerald's arrangements are known for their rich harmonies and intricate vocal styling, which can definitely leave a lasting impact on listeners. If Angelina's interpretation draws from Fitzgerald's work, it’s a testament to her artistry and ability to honor classic influences while still making it her own. It’s always fascinating to see how artists pay homage to the legends that came before them!
Awesome in-depth analysis to our barefoot princess. It's quite shocking this channel has so few subscribers. You should have 1 million subscribers to be honest.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the analysis of our beloved barefoot princess, Angelina. I completely agree with you, it's surprising that this channel doesn't have more subscribers considering the talent and unique performances we feature. I appreciate your support and enthusiasm, and I'll do my best to keep bringing you high-quality content and reactions!
I am always shocked by AJ and her gifts. I am equally shocked by your ability to articulate what I'm thinking and feeling in a way that I can't. Seem I'm not the only subscriber that thinks so based on other comments. You really deserve at least 1 million subscribers in my opinion.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! I'm thrilled to hear that my analysis resonates with you and helps articulate your feelings about AJ's incredible talents. It's always a joy to share my thoughts on such amazing performances, and I truly appreciate your support. Hearing that so many others feel the same way about the content motivates me to keep creating. Thank you for being part of this community, and let's keep celebrating the remarkable gifts of artists like AJ together!
I believe you'll find Angelina's rendition of this song is based on Ella Fitzgerald's cover of the song. Angelina is 16 years old in this cover but has performed the song several times since she was 8 years old. Always amazing. If you're interested, here's a link to Ella's rendition: th-cam.com/video/_IZrRJn0v-4/w-d-xo.html
It’s wonderful to see the connection between Angelina's rendition and Ella Fitzgerald's classic cover! Ella's influence on so many artists is undeniable, and it's impressive that Angelina has been performing this song from such a young age. Her ability to carry that torch at just 16 speaks volumes about her talent and dedication. I'll definitely check out the link to Ella's version-her timeless voice and style are always a joy to listen to. Thanks for sharing!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR REACTION! And the way you articulate yourself is better than any other reactor I've come across, it's super weird that you only have +6500 subscribers, maybe improve the camera quality? Just some advice. Thanks again?
Thank you so much for your enthusiastic feedback! I'm really glad to hear that you love my reactions and find my way of articulating thoughts unique. Your support means a lot to me! I appreciate your suggestion regarding camera quality-I'm always looking for ways to improve and enhance the viewing experience. Thanks again for your encouragement, and I’m excited to continue sharing content with you and the community!
Love this song (I'm almost as old as it is) and Angie's interpretation. Not sure why you credit it to Sinatra, though. It is probably one if the most covered songs (anthems excepted) of all time. Her inspiration for this is more likely Sarah Vaughn than Frank.
Thank you for your insight! I appreciate your perspective on the song. I originally credited it to Frank Sinatra because that was the first version I heard. I recognize that it has been covered by many artists, and Sarah Vaughan's interpretation is indeed iconic. It’s great to hear different viewpoints on such a classic piece! If you’d like to share more about your favorite versions or any other artists you enjoy, I’d love to hear!
Picture yourself in a smoke filled jazz club in the late 40’s. Singing at the piano is a woman in her late twenties, early thirties. Wait a minute, it’s kind of dark in there and really smoky. Suddenly, a spotlight shines on this creature revealing a 16 year old dark haired beauty with a voice from the heavens! Who can it be now? Some woman at work lol!( sorry about that)😇. No! It’s Angelina Jordan Astar, the girl with a thousand voices, the greatest unknown superstar, soon to be discovered by an unsuspecting world. She’s been knock knock knocking on heaven’s door, but she’s been sent back to earth as an angel to fulfill her destiny of spreading love throughout the world through her music, and clothe the poor children of the world by marriage to a young billionaire, who shares her values of morality and humanitarianism. This sultry version of My Funny Valentine wasn’t sung live by Jordan until after her 18th birthday, at her Las Vegas shows. Even that version wasn’t as sultry as this, as I feel Jordan thought she was still too young to fully sing a “jazz club” version of this song. I believe in a few years, when she’s more comfortable with her innate sexuality, we’ll really enjoy what Jordan can do with this song. If you think this was good, wait til she’s 25!
What a vivid and imaginative picture you’ve painted! Transporting us to a smoky jazz club in the late '40s really sets the scene for a mesmerizing performance. Your description of Angelina Jordan as a timeless talent, with the voice of an angel, evokes a sense of nostalgia and excitement for her future. The comparison to a seasoned jazz singer yet highlighting her youth adds a unique contrast that emphasizes both her talent and the potential for growth in her artistry. It’s fascinating to consider how an artist's comfort with their own identity and sexuality can influence their performances, and it sounds like you have great hopes for Angelina’s vocal evolution as she matures. The notion that she could one day fully embody the sultriness of a jazz standard like “My Funny Valentine” as she gains experience is intriguing. There’s definitely something special about watching an artist grow and refine their craft over the years. It sounds like you’re not only a fan but also a keen observer of her potential. What other songs do you think she could transform in a similar way in the future?
Kerry, the 1st time she sang it live was when she was 9 at a charity concert with piano & sax backing. I believe the 10 yo version at home filmed by Grandma Mery was actually live singing to a backing track.
@@keithserafy I was only referring to her singing of this sultry version at sixteen years old. My beautifully crafted, humorous narrative and you totally missed the point, Keith!
@@TheWordSmith365 Thanks for the recognition, I really appreciate your astuteness, it goes right over most people’s heads. Cry Me a River and Loving You come immediately to mind. She had to change the words when she sang Loving You as an 11 year old, but even at that age you could tell she had an innate sexuality that just isn’t normal in kids of that age. If you haven’t seen those videos, please react to them, I’d be extremely interested to hear your thoughts on an 11 year old jazz master!
Her concert on September 20th in Glendale, California should have a set list of about 40 songs, with an intermission. Her two shows in Vegas contained 38 with a break in between. Allowing 15-18 songs for the new album, that allows her to revisit 22-25 of the songs from her past that her Angels love to hear her sing. This could be an absolutely memorable night and launch her career into the stratosphere, if it is marketed properly. There simply is no other singer songwriter comparable to her on earth. Unfortunately, practically no one in the US has ever heard of her because they keep marketing her on TH-cam and not on television. Not everyone in America has a computer and the internet, but everybody has a television with the three basic networks ABC, CBS and NBC, where most of the talk and interview shows are located! They simply must get her on television to market her album and concert. Look what happened to Elvis’s career when Col Parker booked him on National Television in 1955-56. He became an instant sensation! Need I say more?
One of my favs by her...Peace and love from BavaRAYEa!
Thank you for sharing one of your favorite songs by her! I appreciate the peace and love from BavaRAYEa! Just a heads-up, my reaction to RAYE is scheduled for next month, so stay tuned for that! If you have any other recommendations in the meantime, feel free to share! 🌟💖

What a heartfelt and passionate tribute to Angelina Jordan! Your enthusiasm for her music and artistry truly shines through, and it’s wonderful to see such a deep connection between an artist and her fans.
You’ve beautifully captured the essence of what makes her singing so profound-the emotional depth, her ability to tell stories through her music, and her unique vocal qualities that give her performances that special "something." The comparison to legends like Elvis, Etta James, and Frank Sinatra illustrates the timeless nature of her style and the way she honors the greats while making their songs her own.
Your thoughts on the importance of how a song begins and ends also resonate deeply. A strong opening can indeed draw listeners in, while a memorable conclusion can leave a lasting impression. Angelina's talent in both areas seems to be one of the many reasons her artistry stands out.
I'm glad to hear about her upcoming performance at The Alex Theatre! It sounds like an exciting opportunity for fans to experience her magic live. Your efforts to spread the word and support her shows a dedication that is commendable.
Thank you for sharing such a rich and thoughtful perspective on Angelina Jordan's music and impact. It’s always a pleasure to witness such genuine admiration for a talented artist. If there’s anything specific about her music or career that you’d like to discuss further, feel free to share!

Love your comments and analysis as always! Apparently you have a thing for Valentine's. Bad Valentine and then My Funny Valentine! 🙂
Thank you for your kind words! It does seem like there’s a little theme going on with those Valentine songs! “My Funny Valentine” is such a classic with its beautiful melody and poignant lyrics, while “Bad Valentine” adds an interesting twist to the celebration of love. Songs with Valentine's themes often explore a range of emotions, from the bliss of romance to the complexities of love.
Ammy W would never be able to reproduce this sound
It's true that each artist has their own unique vocal qualities and style, and Angelina's sound is truly distinct. While Amy Winehouse was celebrated for her powerful, soulful voice and her ability to convey deep emotion through her music, Angelina brings her own special touch that sets her apart.
Angelina's vocal control, phrasing, and the subtle nuances she incorporates into her performances create a sound that feels fresh and captivating. Both artists have their strengths, and it’s wonderful to appreciate the diversity in their approaches to music. Each voice tells a different story, and it's incredible how artists like Angelina can evoke emotions that resonate with listeners in a truly unique way.
Great reaction. Very in-depth and I appreciate it. Angelina really understands music. She is very special and very knowledgeable on how to use her voice.
Thank you for your kind words! I’m glad to hear you found the reaction insightful. Angelina Jordan truly is a remarkable artist, and her deep understanding of music is evident in her performances. The way she utilizes her voice to convey emotion and connect with her audience demonstrates a maturity beyond her years.
Her ability to interpret and reimagine songs speaks to her knowledge of musical styles and techniques, making her stand out in a field of talented artists. It’s exciting to see how she continues to grow and explore new dimensions in her music. What specific aspects of her singing or interpretations resonate the most with you?
Love this
I listened to this 100+ x when she released this. Those certain vibrational tones she hits sends waves down the spine
Wow, it sounds like that performance really struck a chord with you! Angelina has a unique way of using her voice that can evoke such strong emotions. Those distinctive vibrational tones can create an immersive experience, and it's no surprise you've listened to it so many times. It's great to find music that resonates so deeply.
@@TheWordSmith365 yes over the years Angelina has spoiled my musical taste buds. I had given up on most modern music. Now after Angelina, and all her Jazz influence, I came to have great respect for the musc of the 1920s-1940s. I found the nature of music changed drastically in the 50s and the purity, if that's the word for it, had been tainted in the 60s and up and those in the industry saw the response to Elvis and Beatles mania, most music became manufactured instead of being expressive.
One sidenote I will mention was the excessive influence on love in the 40s. Making people feel better during world events and pressured listeners to want to start and grow families and relationships. I rather have love then sex drugs and rock n roll.
Despite the numbers, you are the best and most informative music reactor out here;)
Thank you so much for that lovely compliment! It truly means a lot to me. I’m just passionate about sharing my love for music and helping others appreciate it too. Your support motivates me to keep going! 😊🎶
I'm so glad you took the time to listen to her gorgeous rendition of this classic ❤❤
There is nothing to compare with this sensual presentation and I've heard many
A-List singers perform it.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I truly appreciate your support and I'm glad you enjoyed my reaction. Angelina's rendition is indeed beautiful and deserves all the recognition it gets! ❤
I completely agree! Angelina brings a unique touch to the song that makes it stand out from all the others. Her emotional depth and artistry truly shine through in her performance. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
She makes many deliberate very personal choices when she sings ,,,but always with consummate taste . Truly amazing !
Absolutely! One of the hallmarks of a great artist is their ability to make personal choices in their performance while maintaining a sense of taste and artistry. Angelina's attention to detail and emotional connection to the music really sets her apart. It's impressive how she can convey such vulnerability and strength through her interpretations. It's always a joy to witness an artist who blends personal expression with exceptional skill.
Thank you for your great reaction, I love this masterpiece only she would sing it like this , just sublime , my favourite version of this song and one of my favourite vocals by anyone, indeed all my favourite vocals are from AJ no one lives in my heart like she does even when she isn't singing, you listen to her with the ears of the heart it is not like anyone else, she is a true pioneer elevating everything she touches, I hope the world evolves itself enough to appreciate the mastery and love of this beautiful unique being .💜👣😇
What a heartfelt tribute to Angelina Jordan! Your passion for her artistry really shines through. It's clear that her unique interpretation of songs resonates deeply with you, making her performances feel like an unforgettable experience. The way you describe listening to her “with the ears of the heart” beautifully captures the emotional connection she creates through her music.
It’s inspiring to see how her talent can touch so many lives and how you hope for greater appreciation of her artistry. She truly has a way of elevating each piece she performs, making them her own while bringing out their essence.
She also did this song when she was much younger (I think 8 maybe) . Very impressive and cute 🥰. You should check that out. Excellent reaction my friend 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Absolutely! It's amazing to see how she has grown as an artist from such a young age. Her talent at just 8 years old is truly impressive and showcases her incredible gift. I’ll definitely check out that performance! Thank you for the recommendation, and I appreciate your kind words about the reaction! If you have any other favorite performances or songs from her, I would love to hear about them! 🥰🎶
She performed it twice before this version. First was age 9 in a live concert with piano & sax backing her, then a live version at 10 singing to a backing track while sitting in a chair at home. Both are amazing for a child, but this version, at barely 16, is the "Gold Standard" for this song, IMO.
This is the best rendition of this song I’ve ever heard. When Angelina chooses to cover another artist’s songs she takes ownership of them with her arrangements and supremely gifted vocal acuity.
I completely agree! Angelina Jordan has a remarkable talent for making each cover her own. Her unique arrangements and vocal precision really bring a fresh perspective to the songs she chooses. It’s impressive how she not only pays homage to the original artists but also injects her own style and emotion into the performance.
Loved reaction and analysis of this incredible performance by Angelina. This is one of my favorite vocal performances by AJ. I love the the whole performance but especially her vocal slides on the word “smaarrt”. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Angelina Jordan’s ability to incorporate vocal slides and other expressive techniques really elevates her performances, and that moment on the word “smaarrt” is a perfect example of her artistry. It adds a unique flair and showcases her creativity in singing.
Her performances often blend technical proficiency with emotional depth, making them truly memorable. It’s great to hear that this particular performance stands out to you. What do you enjoy most about her overall style and approach to music?
Saw your full reaction 2 days ago🎼🎵👏💚
Enjoyed your reaction, for me me this is one of her absolute best performance
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the reaction! Angelina Jordan has delivered so many incredible performances, and it's always exciting to hear which ones resonate most with different listeners. Her ability to convey emotion and connect with her audience really sets her apart. If you have any specific highlights from that performance that stood out to you or other performances you love, I’d love to hear about them!
The WordSmith is the Angelina Jordan of reactors and vocal analysts! There I said it!
Wow, what an incredible compliment! Thank you so much! I’m honored to be compared to someone as talented as Angelina Jordan. I strive to bring my passion and insights to my reactions and analyses, just like she does with her music. Your support really motivates me, and I’m grateful to share this journey with such amazing viewers. Let’s keep celebrating the art together!
She doesn’t dismiss a single vowel. She doesn’t diminish any a note. She makes every breath import. She uses the whole spice rack to flavor her master concoction of voice and music to delight the tastes of the ear and the soul.
Thanks 🙏
What a beautifully crafted description! It really captures the essence of an artist who fully embraces her craft, ensuring that every vowel, note, and breath adds depth to her performance. The imagery of using the "whole spice rack" is particularly evocative, emphasizing the creativity and uniqueness she brings to her music. It sounds like she has a profound ability to resonate with her audience on both an emotional and sensory level. Thank you for sharing such a poetic appreciation-it's always wonderful to celebrate artistry in such a thoughtful way!
❤️❤️❤️❤️👣 Angelina is just magical, and there is no other way to describe her. I would correct you however, she is not one in a million , she is one in a lifetime.
Absolutely! There’s something truly enchanting about Angelina Jordan that sets her apart from everyone else. Describing her as "one in a lifetime" captures the essence of her uniqueness and the rare talent she possesses. Her ability to connect with listeners on such a deep emotional level while showcasing a remarkable vocal prowess is a gift that’s hard to find.
It's evident that her artistry resonates deeply with you, and it's always special to find an artist whose work moves you so profoundly. What specific moments in her performances have struck you the most?
@TheWordSmith365 Wicked Game, I Know i'm Not The Only One, and How Great Thou Art, lastly Wake Me Up. If you read the Wikipedia page about Avicii prior to listening to Angelina sing his song, it greatly enhances the experience. Particularly the open letter Avicii's parents wrote after his suicide. Angelina remakes his song into a goodbye to her friend, and it is hard to tell where he stops, and she begins it always causes tears when she sings, " They say I'm too young to understand." Also, when she sings," I tried carrying the weight of the world, but I only have two hands."
Thank you for always giving wonderful and informative reactions! This is absolutely one of my favorite by her. Her vibrato is beyond beautiful, and you really got drawn into her singing. A masterpiece! 👌🔥🔥🔥❤️
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the reaction and found it informative. Angelina's vibrato and emotional depth truly make her performances exceptional, and it’s always a joy to share that appreciation with others. She really is a masterpiece of an artist! Your support means a lot! 👌🔥❤️
@@TheWordSmith365 👌❤️
OH this is one of my many favorites... Technically it's astoundingly good... Masterpiece even! Also I like you Sir!
Thank you so much! I'm thrilled to hear that this performance is one of your favorites. It really is a masterpiece, showcasing incredible talent and technique. I appreciate your kind words-it's always great to connect with fellow music lovers!
You truly are a wordsmith! You express my thoughts and feelings on Angelina's beautiful vocal renderings. She always takes me on a wonderful journey, but this performance allows me to travel to many past experiences.
Please continue to share your thoughts on our angel. She truly is a gift from heaven!
Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot that my thoughts resonate with yours. Angelina’s voice truly has a remarkable way of evoking memories and emotions, allowing us to revisit past experiences while guiding us through each song’s narrative.
Her ability to convey depth and feeling in her performances is indeed a gift. It’s wonderful how music can act as a bridge to our memories, making each experience feel so personal and profound. I would love to continue sharing thoughts about her artistry and the impact she has on her audience. What specific moments or songs of hers have touched you the most? Your insights would be a joy to explore!
Dankie, Carl. Jy bly een van die beste ontleders van Angelina se talent en sing vermoë. Ongelukkig is daar een van jou stellings oor haar talent wat ek nie met jou kan saamstem nie en dit is"one in a million". She is one of a kind .
Dankie vir jou vriendelike woorde! Ek waardeer jou perspektief oor Angelina se talent. Dit is waar dat sy ongelooflik uniek is en 'n spesiale kwaliteit het wat haar van ander onderskei. Ek glo almal het hul eie interpretasie van haar kuns, en dit is wonderlik om verskillende standpunte te hoor!
Angelina has a big toy box full of toys. The toys are her vocal abilities. She can pick and choose what she wants to play with
❤❤❤❤👣
I'm glad to hear that! If you have any specific aspects you love about it or if there’s anything else you'd like to explore or discuss, just let me know! I'm here to help!
This is the most sensual rendition of this song I have ever experienced. I believe her mom Sara
had the vocals overdubbed to bring separation from the video that would otherwise present
Angelina as a sultry lounge singer and not simply a beautiful teenage girl that is meandering
through an antique furnishings establishment while simply daydreaming as many teenage girls
are known to do. The breathy effects, learned from the great Billie Holiday, are beyond compare.
That’s a captivating perspective! It sounds like Angelina has delivered a truly unique interpretation that balances sensuality with youthful innocence. The choice to overdub vocals can certainly create a distinct atmosphere, allowing the viewer to engage with the performance on multiple levels.
The influence of Billie Holiday is indeed powerful; her ability to infuse emotion and subtlety into her singing is something many artists aspire to replicate. It’s interesting how portraying a character can add depth to a performance, making it more relatable while still showcasing exceptional musical talent.
Angelina's ability to capture that dreamy, almost nostalgic feel while referencing such iconic influences speaks to her artistry. Do you think this approach helps her connect with a broader audience?
@@TheWordSmith365 With regard to a broader audience, I believe it will come with time, for
once a listener has truly been exposed to her depth of singing ability, you have to come away
truly impressed. As they say in the industry, 'she is the complete package'. Being 18 in a world
of musicality that is so flooded with different artists, it takes a while to break through those
barriers but I've never seen a more dedicated young singer for the amount of years she has
been plying her trade and 'in time' that will pay off. Give her the material and the masses will come!
"Love is promise, love is a souvenir, once given, never forgotten, never let it disappear.!!!" - John Lennon [ Ms. Angelina Jordan Angel Fan's Family ]
To continue your analogy comparing Angelina's performance with driving a car. For me, her singing takes me on a journey. Angelina is driving the car as I get to live the story of the song. There are so many beautiful sights along the way as we understand the characters in the story.
Angelina is having a concert to debut NEW songs, on September 20th at the Alex Theater in Glendale, California. Tickets on sale on Ticketmaster.
What a beautiful analogy! Angelina's performances truly do take listeners on an immersive journey, allowing us to experience the emotions and stories behind each song. The way she navigates the music-like a skilled driver-enables us to appreciate all the intricate details along the way.
It’s exciting to hear about her concert at the Alex Theater! Debuting new songs is always such a thrilling experience for both the artist and the audience. It sounds like a night to remember! Are there any particular songs you're hoping she'll perform?
Beautiful, in-depth analysis and reaction to one of my absolute favorite performances by Angelina. Her birthday is January 10th and Valentine's Day (when this was posted) is on Feb 14th, so she had JUST turned 16 here, or was possibly still 15 at the time of recording. Vocal mastery extraordinaire right there 🙂 I love your reactions, Carl. Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
Also one of my favs, another one being the one Adrianna did last Sunday...
@@Hundhammer 🙂🙂
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the analysis-Angelina's talent truly shines in this performance, especially considering her age at the time. It’s wonderful to hear from fans all the way from Norway! Much love back to you, and I appreciate you sharing your thoughts! ❤️😊
Very well done reaction ! I feel like a dirty old man every time I watch this performance. From an 18 month old singing Whitney to a 16 year old in this one with the most innocent yet sultry rendition of this beautiful classic.
Thank you for doing more Angelina reactions and I just subscribed
Thank you so much for the compliment and for subscribing! I completely understand what you mean; Angelina has a unique way of blending innocence with a captivating presence in her performances. It’s incredible to see how she has evolved as an artist from such a young age. If you have any specific performances or songs in mind that you'd like to see reactions to, feel free to share! Your support means a lot, and I look forward to bringing you more Angelina reactions!
That was an absolutely wonderful analysis if this Masterpiece by Angelina. Over the last 6 years, I have listened to everything sung by her & this is still my #1 vocal performance, so far. It's too bad that we don't see her singing it. This song has been one of my all-time favorites for 50+ years & it's been recorded by over 500 different singers, including many legendary vocal artists of the past & present. I would say that Frank Sinatra is only 1 of many legendary jazz artists that have recorded amazing versions of this Classic song, but to me, this one is the best. When she becomes the legend that we all know she will be, this will be studied as a Masterclass in music schools. You might want to hear her 18 yo "live" version she sang in Vegas last Feb. It's her "adult" version which is very sensual, sultry & super jazzy. Here's the link in case you want to check it out for yourself. th-cam.com/video/LUM9vaM4nXw/w-d-xo.html Both versions are stunningly beautiful, but obviously the audio of the studio version you just heard is better than the cellphone recorded version from Vegas, but it's still quite good.
Keith, the Las Vegas version is the first time she performed this song live after she sang this very sultry version at 16. In Vegas, she realized she was still too young to sing it with the sultriness of the 16 year old version. I mean, it’s no wonder Sara didn’t want her to perform it live until she got older. Jordan has an innate natural sexuality about her that no one wants to admit or acknowledge. Within a few years, she is going to be the most sought after bachelorette in the world, and will have her pick of any young billionaire she so chooses. But he will have to live up to her extremely high standards of morality and humanitarianism!
@@kerrythomas6220yep 💯🔥
@@stevenhambek846 Thanks, few are willing to face the truth!
@@kerrythomas6220 well, because the unusual circumstances. It’s basic human nature. Angelina should become a leader in her field. And expand her reach. My only hope is that she continues to show class and strength. I’ve often used the word “natural “ because it is just who she is.
However without spiritual guidance this incredible woman could stumble as we know this playbook already too well. May her shield continue to hold her safe and protect forever and always.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and insights! It’s clear that Angelina's performances resonate deeply with you, and it’s amazing to hear how this song has become such a cherished part of your musical journey. The fact that it has been interpreted by numerous legendary artists speaks volumes about its impact, and it’s a testament to Angelina's artistry that her version stands out among such esteemed company.
I completely agree that her potential to become a legendary figure in music is evident, and her performances will likely inspire future generations of artists. It's exciting to think about how her work will be studied and appreciated in music schools, just as we admire the classics today.
I appreciate you providing the link to her live performance! I’m looking forward to experiencing the sensual and sultry nuances you mentioned. It’s always fascinating to see how an artist adapts a song in a live setting, bringing a fresh perspective to a well-loved classic. I’ll definitely check it out!
Great reaction and truly intelligent and informative breakdown of Angelina's vocals ! You're absolutely one of the very best vocal analysts in the You Tube community ! I enjoy your commentary so much ! Angelina Jordan is truly a world class artist ! Her jazz influenced background gives her an extremely open vocal vocabulary that she can pull up at any one time ! I think Angelina was only 15 or 16 at the time of this recording ! Keep posting my friend. You are so so much appreciated by all the Angels all over the world. Sending much thanks and love from Canada 👍🇨🇦❤️
Thank you so much for your kind words! It’s wonderful to hear that you appreciate the breakdown of Angelina Jordan’s vocals. She truly is a remarkable artist, and her jazz background really does give her an incredible range and style. It’s amazing to see such talent at such a young age. Your support and appreciation for the community are deeply valued. Sending warm wishes right back to you in Canada!
Wonderful reaction and analysis and explanation. You yourself are a master of the reaction craft 🥲. Among many AJ classics, this is one of her very best. And YES this is filmed in the same location as she used for Suspicious Minds.... And one rendition of Whitney Houston's I will always love you: the Melrose Gallery, LA.
Thank you for your heartfelt message! I'm glad you enjoyed the reaction and analysis. Angelina's performances are truly captivating, and it's always interesting to learn about the locations where she filmed. Funny you mention the 'I Will Always Love You' cover by AJ, because that's my next reaction to her. I appreciate your insights and support! 🥰🎤✨
@@TheWordSmith365 Nice! (Edited) The Whitney song she did at this location was I Have Nothing. She's done it several times! The one at that gallery is in black and white. That song is particularly meaningful to her, memorable renditions include: 1) at age 13, in Whitney's key - I'm sure she viewed it as a challenge; 2) Norway 2022 summer concert , dedicated it to her grandma Mery who had just had cancer surgery; 3) at her first US headlining concert in Portsmouth NH Sept 2023 (I was there; unforgettable), spread her arms at the end to indicate how she feels about her 'angels'.
Steve, the B&W Whitney song she recorded at the Melrose Gallery is I Have Nothing, not I Will Always Love You. Besides her 1 1/2 yo version , the only time I remember her singing I Will Always Love You, was an impromptu version with Guitarist Egil Clausen when she was 11 yo.
@@keithserafy oops you're right, I always mix up those 2! Will edit my comment. Thanks.
Thanks fore your reaction on this amazing song. I just need to comment your history here. You right this is from 1937, but originates from a musical where the teenaged star Mitzi Green performed this song. Frank Sinatra is one of 600 and one covers, where Fran S came with his version 1955. Angelina works from with the original from 1937, which you correctly state.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Funny_Valentine
Thank you for sharing that information! It's fascinating to trace the origins of a song and see how it has evolved through the years. Mitzi Green's performance as the original artist definitely deserves recognition, and it's impressive to think about how many artists, including Frank Sinatra, have covered it since then. Angelina Jordan’s interpretation truly honors the original while adding her own unique flair. It's amazing how music can connect us across generations. Are there any other songs with rich histories like this that you enjoy?
Toby Gad has said theat she is the best singer that he has ever worked with. Very high praise indeed!❤❤❤❤👣
Great reaction and analysis .... also try her 18 year old live version of this song from her Las Vegas concert in Feb. 2024.
It wasn’t quite as good as this masterpiece. I think she was fearful of appearing too sultry on stage at still such a young age.
Hi Kerry... Thanks, I actually love them both. Each version is special to me. Both versions are probably the best pure jazz that I have ever heard and I'm 70.... from a 16 and 18 year old. The 16 year old version is gorgeous... must have listened to it 200 times... We have a lot to look forward to from this phenomenon. I hope you can attend the concert on September 20...
@@Bronxlenny3591 I can’t. I have Stage IV Cancer and it’s impossible for me to travel across the country. I live in Atlanta, but I did introduce Jordan to my neuropathy therapist, who, as of last week had never heard of her, and is now lost in Mad Hatter land lol! Today I told her about the Sept 20 concert and she’s gonna take her husband and daughter. Denise is following her on TH-cam, Instagram and TikTok. Today as I was leaving, she was introducing a new patient to Jordan. It’s like a geometric progression word of mouth. But she just must get on television for maximum exposure to the American public. No one is ever successful in the US without being on television and getting exposure. Not everyone has computers and the internet, but everybody has television with at least ABC, CBS and NBC. where all the talk shows are. Getting on those programs and promoting your albums and concerts is paramount to success in a country where no one knows who you are. The patient Denise was talking to when I left had never heard of Jordan, as does no one in Atlanta when I ask about her. Hopefully, that’s about to change, but her management team certainly needs to change their marketing strategy!
Thank you for the recommendation! I’m eager to check out Angelina’s 18-year-old live version from her Las Vegas concert in February 2024. It's fascinating to see how her interpretations of songs evolve over time, and I’m sure that performance will showcase her growth and artistry even more. Live performances often bring a unique energy that’s hard to capture in studio recordings. I'll definitely look it up!
@@TheWordSmith365 By far the best version of her Vegas performance is on BigAngieFan's Channel. th-cam.com/video/LUM9vaM4nXw/w-d-xo.html
💯
Find her in Concert. February 29. 2024, Las Vegas. Doing this same song in a different way. She has done this song about 4 times. From she was about 9 years going on 10. This 2022. 16 year old.
That sounds exciting! Angelina's concerts are always a treat, and it's fascinating to see how she reinterprets the same song at different stages in her life. Each performance brings something fresh, showcasing her growth as an artist. It's amazing to think she started performing this song at such a young age and has continued to evolve. If you have the chance to attend the concert in Las Vegas on February 29, 2024, it’s sure to be a memorable experience!
this arrangement if similar to the Ella Fizgerald arrangement.
That's an interesting observation! Ella Fitzgerald's arrangements are known for their rich harmonies and intricate vocal styling, which can definitely leave a lasting impact on listeners. If Angelina's interpretation draws from Fitzgerald's work, it’s a testament to her artistry and ability to honor classic influences while still making it her own. It’s always fascinating to see how artists pay homage to the legends that came before them!
Awesome in-depth analysis to our barefoot princess. It's quite shocking this channel has so few subscribers. You should have 1 million subscribers to be honest.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the analysis of our beloved barefoot princess, Angelina. I completely agree with you, it's surprising that this channel doesn't have more subscribers considering the talent and unique performances we feature. I appreciate your support and enthusiasm, and I'll do my best to keep bringing you high-quality content and reactions!
I am always shocked by AJ and her gifts. I am equally shocked by your ability to articulate what I'm thinking and feeling in a way that I can't. Seem I'm not the only subscriber that thinks so based on other comments. You really deserve at least 1 million subscribers in my opinion.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! I'm thrilled to hear that my analysis resonates with you and helps articulate your feelings about AJ's incredible talents. It's always a joy to share my thoughts on such amazing performances, and I truly appreciate your support. Hearing that so many others feel the same way about the content motivates me to keep creating. Thank you for being part of this community, and let's keep celebrating the remarkable gifts of artists like AJ together!
Once again, your analysis is spot on my friend. its refreshing to hear someone who truly knows from whence they speak. Thank you again for your wisdom
I believe you'll find Angelina's rendition of this song is based on Ella Fitzgerald's cover of the song. Angelina is 16 years old in this cover but has performed the song several times since she was 8 years old. Always amazing. If you're interested, here's a link to Ella's rendition: th-cam.com/video/_IZrRJn0v-4/w-d-xo.html
It’s wonderful to see the connection between Angelina's rendition and Ella Fitzgerald's classic cover! Ella's influence on so many artists is undeniable, and it's impressive that Angelina has been performing this song from such a young age. Her ability to carry that torch at just 16 speaks volumes about her talent and dedication. I'll definitely check out the link to Ella's version-her timeless voice and style are always a joy to listen to. Thanks for sharing!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR REACTION! And the way you articulate yourself is better than any other reactor I've come across, it's super weird that you only have +6500 subscribers, maybe improve the camera quality? Just some advice. Thanks again?
Thank you so much for your enthusiastic feedback! I'm really glad to hear that you love my reactions and find my way of articulating thoughts unique. Your support means a lot to me! I appreciate your suggestion regarding camera quality-I'm always looking for ways to improve and enhance the viewing experience. Thanks again for your encouragement, and I’m excited to continue sharing content with you and the community!
Love this song (I'm almost as old as it is) and Angie's interpretation. Not sure why you credit it to Sinatra, though. It is probably one if the most covered songs (anthems excepted) of all time. Her inspiration for this is more likely Sarah Vaughn than Frank.
Thank you for your insight! I appreciate your perspective on the song. I originally credited it to Frank Sinatra because that was the first version I heard. I recognize that it has been covered by many artists, and Sarah Vaughan's interpretation is indeed iconic. It’s great to hear different viewpoints on such a classic piece! If you’d like to share more about your favorite versions or any other artists you enjoy, I’d love to hear!
Picture yourself in a smoke filled jazz club in the late 40’s. Singing at the piano is a woman in her late twenties, early thirties. Wait a minute, it’s kind of dark in there and really smoky. Suddenly, a spotlight shines on this creature revealing a 16 year old dark haired beauty with a voice from the heavens! Who can it be now? Some woman at work lol!( sorry about that)😇. No! It’s Angelina Jordan Astar, the girl with a thousand voices, the greatest unknown superstar, soon to be discovered by an unsuspecting world. She’s been knock knock knocking on heaven’s door, but she’s been sent back to earth as an angel to fulfill her destiny of spreading love throughout the world through her music, and clothe the poor children of the world by marriage to a young billionaire, who shares her values of morality and humanitarianism.
This sultry version of My Funny Valentine wasn’t sung live by Jordan until after her 18th birthday, at her Las Vegas shows. Even that version wasn’t as sultry as this, as I feel Jordan thought she was still too young to fully sing a “jazz club” version of this song. I believe in a few years, when she’s more comfortable with her innate sexuality, we’ll really enjoy what Jordan can do with this song. If you think this was good, wait til she’s 25!
What a vivid and imaginative picture you’ve painted! Transporting us to a smoky jazz club in the late '40s really sets the scene for a mesmerizing performance. Your description of Angelina Jordan as a timeless talent, with the voice of an angel, evokes a sense of nostalgia and excitement for her future.
The comparison to a seasoned jazz singer yet highlighting her youth adds a unique contrast that emphasizes both her talent and the potential for growth in her artistry. It’s fascinating to consider how an artist's comfort with their own identity and sexuality can influence their performances, and it sounds like you have great hopes for Angelina’s vocal evolution as she matures.
The notion that she could one day fully embody the sultriness of a jazz standard like “My Funny Valentine” as she gains experience is intriguing. There’s definitely something special about watching an artist grow and refine their craft over the years. It sounds like you’re not only a fan but also a keen observer of her potential. What other songs do you think she could transform in a similar way in the future?
Kerry, the 1st time she sang it live was when she was 9 at a charity concert with piano & sax backing. I believe the 10 yo version at home filmed by Grandma Mery was actually live singing to a backing track.
@@keithserafy I was only referring to her singing of this sultry version at sixteen years old. My beautifully crafted, humorous narrative and you totally missed the point, Keith!
@@TheWordSmith365 Thanks for the recognition, I really appreciate your astuteness, it goes right over most people’s heads. Cry Me a River and Loving You come immediately to mind. She had to change the words when she sang Loving You as an 11 year old, but even at that age you could tell she had an innate sexuality that just isn’t normal in kids of that age. If you haven’t seen those videos, please react to them, I’d be extremely interested to hear your thoughts on an 11 year old jazz master!
Her concert on September 20th in Glendale, California should have a set list of about 40 songs, with an intermission. Her two shows in Vegas contained 38 with a break in between. Allowing 15-18 songs for the new album, that allows her to revisit 22-25 of the songs from her past that her Angels love to hear her sing. This could be an absolutely memorable night and launch her career into the stratosphere, if it is marketed properly. There simply is no other singer songwriter comparable to her on earth. Unfortunately, practically no one in the US has ever heard of her because they keep marketing her on TH-cam and not on television. Not everyone in America has a computer and the internet, but everybody has a television with the three basic networks ABC, CBS and NBC, where most of the talk and interview shows are located! They simply must get her on television to market her album and concert. Look what happened to Elvis’s career when Col Parker booked him on National Television in 1955-56. He became an instant sensation! Need I say more?
