Your technical analysis is interesting, but it's about the emotional connection she has with lyrics and how she conveys that to the listener.It's about How she makes you FEEL the intent of lyrics!
Angelina since at least 5 years of age has had impeccable aesthetic. I may not like every choice but gosh good grief she’s so good. Phrasing is off the charts. I love vibrato and sustain a whole lot. Not everyone does. So amazed at Angelina’s vibrato styles. Just incredible.
Jess, you said Angelina has a deep well of music to draw upon. I am willing to wager Angelina listened to more songs before becoming a teen, than I have in my entire 63+ years. It is not just the amount of music but how she digests and embodies it all. Once the music is in her, she is able to improve it. That natural instinctual skill put together with the most beautiful tone I have ever heard, makes Angelina my all time favorite musical artist.
Yes yes yes..Andy and Jess! Both of your comments are very interestingly starting to define the Angelina effect.. this is one of my Angelina favourites
Great analysis. Good points on the guitar separation and clarity too. I like that she can have a full orchestra or just a guitar and be fully adaptable and entertaining.
A vocal coach reacting to Angelina explained that taking a breath just before singing the next note, instead of earlier, keeps the airway open for a cleaner start to the next note; instead of taking the breath, letting the airway close, and reopening the airway.
It’s so hard to comprehend a prodigy because you’re always so fantastically in tune with what they’re doing I called her Mosark of music Thousand voices it’s gonna be different time you’re here
Angelina Jordan ASTAR, this young norwegian genius (here 12 and now 16) is imo the best singer on the planet! I am 69 y old and have never heard a singer like her in my whole life.
Watch sometime, Ivan’s face during this. He said it was hard to concentrate sometimes. She was just so incredible. There is a whole series of videos of him with her.
Thanks for another great reaction, this guitarist said when they'd record he'd get a text to come to their house and they'd all hang out for the day. He wouldn't find out what song they were going to record until a couple of hours beforehand and always after midnight, he said Angelina was such a perfectionist she'd get it done in one take usually.
Angelina is the barefooted Queen of Soul with a Thousand Voices! She weaves musical tapestries in all colors of the rainbow with her beguiling voice! Her musical artistry is second to none and it not something that can be taught. Soul + Music in perfect harmony!
As a non-technical really old fossil-79, I really enjoy your reactions. I've been an angel for about 5 years. I grew up listening to doowop and then Zappa. But Angelina is my favorite singer ever.
Jess, thank you🙏for pointing out that *_when_* Angelina takes her breath is part of her vast reservoir of artistry! As many have commented, we are never surprised by her but we are nearly always amazed. 🤩
is it possible that the actual sound produced by her breathing is intentional? and expressive like the breath we take to communicate the chill felt from an ice cube down our back.
@@charlesmiller6510 That's a great thought! I believe it's certainly possible. I can imagine a recording of different single breaths taken by different people in different situations. Like your ice example, listening to them you would probably have a pretty good idea of what's going on.
yes .. when you hear her breathe she meant that it else typos hear her breath all the time. I don't think she misses much. And if she did Grandma Mery would not.
@Patricia Sepulveda I wonder often about how much Mery contributes to an Angelina performance. I've tentatively concluded that Mery is among her technical teachers, but not her arranger.
For those of us Angelina fans who’ve watched hundreds of reactions, I think you add a level of technical audio analysis that’s fascinating. And as a performer, you see the singer that will continue to amaze you in very different genres.
And English is not his first language ! Thank you for your very interesting comments on the singing talents of this young and talented performer. What a voice, one of the purest and most beautiful I have ever heard !
I'm certain she has Absolute pitch, tone and harmony. Absolute pitch is actually better than perfect pitch but some use it interchangeably. I think she hears and reads the music for a song and then her mind just starts to manipulate the lyrics and music to fit her dynamic. She is truly genius at this. I am so happy that she came during my life time. What a blessing she is.
Yes, I did enjoy that. This is a favorite of mine. When I hear someone else sing it it is just an average song, ho hum. No big deal. But this is a masterpiece like so much that Angelina does. Ivan on the guitar just makes it better. Have you seen them do A Million Years Ago?
As a super fan from AJ , very kind from you ,the words you have expressed for Angelina. She deserves all the attention,there is no interpreter better than her nowadays. thanks
This is a link to her cover of "A million years ago" with a similar placement and the same guitarist. There's more changes in tone and may give you more information. th-cam.com/video/QHLtZQ3sIwE/w-d-xo.html
Wow Jess. As Simon Cowell would say,"This was an Amazing reaction." Great technical observations. I usually don't care that much for them and just try to enjoy her voice, but yours was perfect and enlightening.. Thank you
With the majority of her covers. Angie is a cappella, so to speak, and the accompaniment, is joining in and keeping time with her. It’s ALL about Angie!
Absolutely amazing version of this song Stay my favourite version from Angelina as she puts so much emotion into everything she sings, her technical ability surpasses her years 12 years old with this rendition, Angelina is a musical genius in my view!
Angelina just Masters that type of song along with any genre of course. In that setting with Ivan playing guitar, I believe there are three different songs. A million years ago by Adele, Born to die by Lana del Rey, and this one, Stay. All three are stellar.
Ivan accompanies her on A Million Years Ago, California Dreaming, Happier, Always On My Mind, and the one she sang for her friend you passed away (my memory has deserted me - sorry).
I always learned something new about Angelina Jordan's voice went another singer points out specific details about her incredible God-given talent. What I do know is her voice touches my soul, like a wave of emotional feeling is overwhelming. She is a special Angel who brings joy to our lives through her music.
Thanks for the detailed technical analyses, very interesting! She has indeed a lot of control and also a very rich vocal toolbox which she can apply with great precision (and instinct). She was 12 here and the guitar player is Ivan Mendez and very talented. They did a serie of this kind of recordings over the span of months. He would come over to her and would hang out with her and her family during the day. In the evening they’d quickly settle on a song and with a tiny bit practicing they would make these recordings. These recordings are mostly one take and with little to no processing as far as I can tell. You can hear indeed every detail, every breath and also the fingers on the strings. What it does to me is that it gives me a sense of personal concert, as if I am with them in that room. When it comes to her tone, to me she adds a sense of melancholy and sadness. This changes the story: with Rihanna you know that the other will be staying, with Angelina’s melancholy, she is asking but she knows it won’t happen. I find it very interesting how with just the timbre of your voice you can change the story.
I’m attending a concert in Angelina’s home country Norway soon, cannot wait to see Angelina live, I’m ready to go, absolutely love this amazing Artist!
Everything Angelina does is my favorite but this is a constant go to for me. It touched me deep, not because of the story of the lyrics but because of Angelina's heartfelt delivery of the song. I enjoy the breakdown of Angelina's genius by vocal coaches and entertainers. Not having that expertise all I can go on is my ear and what I hear. Being of an older generation I've heard plenty of music over the years, music from my parents WW 2 generation, ma ma my generation, my children's generation and the music going on now. Angelina bridges them all with god given talent, musical intellect and a beautiful humble presence. I look forward to your sincere reactions to Angelina. Try BORN TO DIE, the first couple notes will leave you stunned.
This is a live take, in an interview with the guitarist he confirms she would just say follow my lead and talk about what she wanted then they would just do it. As you can tell she continues to look to her left as she doesn't have the words to memory. Almost all of her songs with him are like this. You can also see how satisfying it his for him to play for her. I'll find the interview link and provide it for you. This is the Ivan Mendez interview: th-cam.com/video/2uQyt2T3ayE/w-d-xo.html
The summer she was 12 years old in LA. These recording with Ivan are still some of my favorites. Because they are so real. Mistakes are made by both her and Ivan. But just the beauty of two artists doing their thing and those moments caught on video. Just pure magic. Ivan’s reactions to her are just priceless. They do a few other songs where he is not visible in the video. How Great Thou Art. Wake Me Up
So glad you've continued your journey since I begged you to check her out. You bring a whole different take on Angelina's that is fascinating. I just know what she does for me and she has literally changed my life. I'd love to see your breakdown of Angelina's Mics in her performance of "I Put a Spell On You' Black & white in the studio. She uses one mic in the booth that I am pretty sure you will recognize. Again, I have no knowledge on this. She has a second mic again should be recognizable as she performs live with the band behind her. 'I'm guessing most of the vocals were recorded in the booth but I would love to know if there was any of both. This is probably Angelina's most Iconic performance and one of her most watched and I haven't heard anyone who knows how this was likely done. That would have been my inclination that it was all recorded in the booth. I just wonder if they did a live performance when they did the old school mic and just meshed the video with the audio recording or if it was lip synced which Angelina has obviously done. 'Fly Me to the Moon' leading the horse.at what I was guessing was near some salt deposits, I was guessing California or Arizona. I'm guessing also on 'Million Miles' official Video. Surprised he hasn't been inundated with requests for this.
my guess is just north of LA for the salt deposits, In some of the other videos I do recognize some of the scenery from that area including Red Rock State Park just north of Mojave.
You were saying that she was being so precise about what she was singing, but you do realize that this is probably only the first or second time they have performed this together? She is still learning the lyrics-note how she keeps looking to the side to view them. How can she put that much feeling into lyrics that she hardly knows herself much less has ever experienced?
The one, the only, Angelina Jordan at 12 years old. You can just imagine what Reanna thought when she experienced this performance, no wonder Stargate signed her.
This song was a huge hit for Rihanna and it should be noted that Forbes recently reported that she was a Billionaire ! I believe she's sold 100 million albums. Here we have Angelina sitting with Ivan in her make-shift home studio and it's evident that she couldn't have really practiced the song much, if even that. Ivan has said he and she usually complete these sessions in one take, two at most. Still, when I compare it to Rihanna, Angelina simply brings forth more emotional penetration and I believe it has to do with her being a true jazz singer. There is no way a non-jazz singer can sing a heartfelt ballad better than a true jazz specialist, and that goes for Adele, Lana Del Rey, or anyone else you might want to compare her to.
I think one reason she likes this mic is b/c she has learned to use her breathing as part of the music. Often you will notice a breath is used to bridge notes. She does a lot of odd stuff like that. For instance, sometimes she will replace a word with a humming sound, or will replace the "ng" sound at the end of a word with "hmmm". Or, she will create a one-word contraction out of two words (e.g.: "young girl's" = "youn'gers". She will either compress or draw out a word depending on what her artistic will desires. All this contributes to the amazement we feel when listening to what she can do when recreating iconic songs.
Great reaction Jess to (12) Angie. I agree with your comment too. If you like that then you'll like these by Angie too. “Born to Die” by Lana th-cam.com/video/DNU-HcLuO_I/w-d-xo.html Angie’s 12 here. “A Natural Woman” Acoustic (Aretha Franklin Tribute) th-cam.com/video/rt6KhBxiaDo/w-d-xo.html she’s 12.5 yo.
Angelina,un mostro "mostruoso".Il canto per lei non ha segreti,anzi è lei che ha segreti che noi no capiremo mai:è nata predestinata oppure un giorno è stata colpita da un fulmine e quindi è diventata così brava all'improvviso?
This is one of her many perfect songs that are impossible to rank because perfection has no variation. It's in her top 25 for sure and a premium example why many people think & feel she is the GOAT.
Awesome reaction/breakdown to The Master! I believe if your going to be a singer, should take tips from The Music Genius, just common sense, God Bless!
Angelina sang Quincy Jones on his 85 birthday fly me Moon Quincy Jones she the best singers Michael Jackson They open up for him to sang in his concer🎵👣
Did u review or ever hear Angelina singing I Who Have Nothing? She was 6 & in a recording studio, it's amazing dude, an exa of you telling us her tool belt
Jess, you may want to watch Ivan Mendez being interviewed about how he got to be the accompanist and how Angelina ran these performances. th-cam.com/video/2uQyt2T3ayE/w-d-xo.html
Ivan Mendes is a prodigy Angelina AngelinaJordan has everything! I need to be a good singer but she has unique things that cannot be copied she is well bl 1 1/2 to start when grandmother Introduce to Jazz to like duck to water Ella Fitzgerald Louis Armstrong Sarah Von Billie holiday day
The guitarist is Ivan Mendez. Here's an interview with him and about how he and Angelina worked together. It's very insightful. th-cam.com/video/2uQyt2T3ayE/w-d-xo.html
As always Angelina makes me feel her emotion with every note that she sings... Jess, I really enjoy your reactions... The Angelina Jordan Story- Ivan Mendez Interview (LA guitarist) An interview by Alan Popier m.th-cam.com/video/2uQyt2T3ayE/w-d-xo.html Latino artist musician/song writer Ivan Mendez tells wonderful back stories of what it was like to accompany Angelina in creating her beautifully intimate video covers. Fellow Angels please show some love for Ivan... Took A Pill In Ibiza - Mike Posner (Ivan Lives acoustic cover) m.th-cam.com/video/KskJ5x3pg3c/w-d-xo.html
You clearly have a cerebral and analytical approach to your reactions which is fine. However, in your quest to improve your own vocal capabilities don’t let your analytical side dominate your practice sessions. Music is about how it makes us feel. Allow your emotional side the ability to interpret the intended meaning and feeling of the lyrics.
I appreciate this 🙏 it actually took me forever to find a coach who worked off of feel instead of the regular ‘conventional’ practices. Excited for it to bring me closer to projects like these!
Great comment and great response. This is something that has really surprised, amazed and baffled me with AJ since I found her in 2014. She seems to have both of these bases “fully” covered and I just don’t understand! She just seems to be able to analyse in depth a song and bring forth her understanding with such an emotional charge that it just takes my breath away. Truly confounding!
I'm an old man that don't hear good listening on my phone. I wish i could have heard your analysis of Stay. I could hear Angelina and Ivan good but couldn't hear you. As much as you talk about mics...
Your technical analysis is interesting, but it's about the emotional connection she has with lyrics and how she conveys that to the listener.It's about How she makes you FEEL the intent of lyrics!
Her diction is briliant!!!!!
Magical!!!!!
It is insane!!!!!!
Watch her hands as they conduct her through this song, very beautiful to watch!
Yes! Love those details.
Angelina since at least 5 years of age has had impeccable aesthetic. I may not like every choice but gosh good grief she’s so good. Phrasing is off the charts. I love vibrato and sustain a whole lot. Not everyone does. So amazed at Angelina’s vibrato styles. Just incredible.
Never thought a 12 year old could perform the best cover of Rihannas Stay, but here it is ❤️ It just blows my mind ❤️
@ Kent Angelina can cover any song and motor time do it better In my opinion
Angelina 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Jess, you said Angelina has a deep well of music to draw upon. I am willing to wager Angelina listened to more songs before becoming a teen, than I have in my entire 63+ years.

Yes yes yes..Andy and Jess! Both of your comments are very interestingly starting to define the Angelina effect.. this is one of my Angelina favourites
Jess I have run out words to explain her All I can say she’s perfection but she opens up her mouth that’s when the magic comes out🎶🎵
Great analysis. Good points on the guitar separation and clarity too. I like that she can have a full orchestra or just a guitar and be fully adaptable and entertaining.
Thankyou ❤️
Angelina Jordan She opened up her mouth out come the magic!🎵Sing 🎵🎶👣
A vocal coach reacting to Angelina explained that taking a breath just before singing the next note, instead of earlier, keeps the airway open for a cleaner start to the next note; instead of taking the breath, letting the airway close, and reopening the airway.
You are great man 🙏 Angelina is the STAR
You do a great job of helping up novices to voice/singing just how advanced an artist AJ is.
I think every other singer tries to hide their breath while Angelina brings hers to the forefront and includes it in your song so natural for her :)
It’s so hard to comprehend a prodigy because you’re always so fantastically in tune with what they’re doing I called her Mosark of music
Thousand voices it’s gonna be different time you’re here
Skills, power, control, the emotions are communicated with ease it seems impossible. One take wonder

I agree!!
Definitely 👍 I just love it❤️🔥
I really like this reactor. I especially love the way he sees and hears what we do. Thanks

Angelina gives a awesome additions to the amazing original song to take it to a new level, what a skill she has! great indepth reaction.
Fantastic reaction and wonderful analysis!
Nice descriptive reaction, as you said the "gift" that is Angelina Jordan
The young diamond vocals
You have to appreciate the level of commitment to the performance with her whole body. Watch her hands.
Always fun hanging with you! Keep up the enthusiasm.
Loving the direction you're approaching Angelina from.
Beautifully said, that we have to get better language to describe what these amazing artists do. That's music, "language where all language ends."

If you used headphones you could hear what she really sound like. Try a set sometime on this song.
You can’t see them in the video, but I’ve got some of the best studio monitors someone else’s money can buy- we hear just fine 😁
I would love to hear her sixteen year old version of this.
I think one reason she likes this mic is b/c she has learned to use her breathing as part of the music. Often you will notice a breath is used to bridge notes. She does a lot of odd stuff like that.

Think you would enjoy AG singing California Dreamin
This is one of her many perfect songs that are impossible to rank because perfection has no variation. It's in her top 25 for sure and a premium example why many people think & feel she is the GOAT.
Now that you’ve found the barefoot princess, you should check out the Norways got talent performances. She started with Gloomy Sunday at age 7.
Please listen can't help falling in love by Diana Ankudinova she is amazing and beautiful young lady with a contralto voice
Interestingly the vocal coach Hostutler breaks down every nuance of Angelina”s voice. If it’s a Neumann microphone it’s expensive.
TLM 103 retails about $1600 here in Canada. I’m renting one right now and it’s 💯
Awesome reaction/breakdown to The Master! I believe if your going to be a singer, should take tips from The Music Genius, just common sense, God Bless!
My understanding about these guitar accompanied sessions is that they were unrehearsed and under very casual circumstances.
12 years old, not rehearsed, reading the lyrics in another language and done in one take!
Mic drop!
(but not the Neumann, lol)
You got over 150 songs and growing
The guitarist Ivan Mendes he is so Caught up with her voice in her voice misses the note he said
What a fine ending morsel of goodness at 11:54, the way the "eee e,eh eh eh ehey" drops, is just delicious...
Bel, you’re taking voice lessons and practicing hard to try and do what comes so instinctively, naturally and easily to Angelina.
May be you can react now to her cover of “How Great Thou Art”. You’ll be impressed. I like to hear your comments about this.
You know she is in a sitting position which is also difficult to sing due to the Diaphragm but she does it a lot
Angelina sang Quincy Jones on his 85 birthday fly me Moon Quincy Jones she the best singers Michael Jackson

We wish your Mike was louder when your talking because we have trouble hearing you. But great Vedic. She's always amazing.

As always Angelina makes me feel her emotion with every note that she sings...

You clearly have a cerebral and analytical approach to your reactions which is fine. However, in your quest to improve your own vocal capabilities don’t let your analytical side dominate your practice sessions. Music is about how it makes us feel. Allow your emotional side the ability to interpret the intended meaning and feeling of the lyrics.
I appreciate this 🙏 it actually took me forever to find a coach who worked off of feel instead of the regular ‘conventional’ practices. Excited for it to bring me closer to projects like these!
Great comment and great response. This is something that has really surprised, amazed and baffled me with AJ since I found her in 2014. She seems to have both of these bases “fully” covered and I just don’t understand! She just seems to be able to analyse in depth a song and bring forth her understanding with such an emotional charge that it just takes my breath away. Truly confounding!
I'm an old man that don't hear good listening on my phone. I wish i could have heard your analysis of Stay. I could hear Angelina and Ivan good but couldn't hear you. As much as you talk about mics...
Sorry my friend! Working through all kinds of set up’s. I think you’ll appreciate my most recent Angelina Jordan video 🙏
