Boudy I was filming from about 30 feet away! Opening number, we had never heard it before, and she hits us with those vocals. I have a longer version up that includes the instrumental jamming before she came out. The whole concert was incredible and I was amazed at how rich her voice was live; even the best recordings don’t do it justice. Be sure to check out her slowed down version of “Million Miles,” which had me and many others in tears. Many other great standouts too, such as “Killing Me Softly” and “You Don’t Own Me.” Im going to see her again in Vegas! (Edit: yes I was using an iPhone 13 Pro Max. I also was recording with a separate sound recorder. Yes, it sounded way better live, as you can imagine from how good this recording already sounds. NRK tv was there for two songs so we have great audio of those..)
Boudy , puweety PLEASE!! 😊🙏🏽 Her jamming with the ‘Spell’ band, covering Jay Hawkins’ “Portrait of a Man (child).”. Well worth listening to the original version first, with JH. It’s a beautiful song, with lyrics that you can relate to - especially you. Angelina talks to the band members during the song and they just nod encouragement and continue playing. You do not want to miss this one and you find it on her list.
Diese Musiker die hier mit Angelina auf der Bühne sind, kennen Angelina schon sehe sehr lange. Es ist wie eine Familie. Schau dir mal die Rehasals an mit dieser Band. Dir wird es sehr gefallen. Rusty hat alle Videos auf seinem Chanel 202 Videos 👣👣👣
Thanks Boudy for another AJ Monday. This jazz band playing with Angelina has been playing with her since she was around 10-11 years old....they know her quite well and she knows all of them quite well and they always make great music together. You can say that Angelina re-imagined this Labyrinth song in a majestic way. Cheers Boudy...loved the reaction and commentary as always. 🥰🥰 Would like to leave a suggested video to react to. You already did "A Song for A" (Nico Cartosio) which showed another side of Angelina's vocal talents. I would like you to view another one, very few views, but a absolute Gem. This would be Angelina in studio rehearsing or recording the song "La Boheme", a French song made famous by Charles Aznavour. Angelina is singing these very complicated lyrics in English, reading them as she sings, for her Album "It's Magic" (2018). She will be 11 in this video. It is a fan made from Rusty Shackleford's Channel and has the lyrics as well. She is recording the song live in studio(the video shows her as well) with a French or Paris background.: th-cam.com/video/ySzuq0jr_Aw/w-d-xo.html. This is just another side of Angelina Boudy, hope you find the time. Enjoy.
Angelina likes to open with something to wake up the audience! On this occasion Svein Erik, the guitarist, was feeling rather bold, trying to match the pitch and intensity that Angelina was giving. I was at the following concert in Kurbadhagen, Sandefjord. The guitar felt a little more subdued, perhaps Angelina a little more assertive! There is nothing to compare with an open air concert, on a warm summer's day!
Hi Boudy. I don't imagine what Chris must have felt, I know exactly what he felt,same as me, 'cause we were both front row, shoulder to shoulder, recording on our phones. I must say that his smart phone was much smarter than mine. Highly professional. Did I eased your mind? 1/100% of the real sound you said. Can't say. All I can say is that we all heard the 100 and 1% of Angelina's craft. The 1 plus being the Soul,the Emotions, the Love she puts in every thing she does, in and out of singing. Just for the record. Me, Chris and a number of Angels from all over the land gathered together before the show and met Alan who made a video called The Kongsberg interviews. I'm in it.(Brag brag brag😊.) After the concert we all gathered together again in the basement room of a big club( can't remember the name. Ask Alan, he surely knows), reserved just for us, and had a Ball. I'm an Elder and I have no qualms in saying: The Day of my Life.❤️👍👏👋

AT LAST, you are back to some of these recordings. AJ is fantastic live. Now please, you can't skip "It's a man's world" any longer (the live one with Forsvarets Stabsmusikkorps - Oslo - 16.06.2018). One of the few where AJ goes all in belting. I usually say she is a master of "less is more". But here, she shows that she is a master of "more is more" also. At 12 years of age!!
Chris Stapleton and Justin Timberlake jammed to Tennessee Whiskey on an awards show a few years ago. Kaleidoscope RMX did a mashup of Chris singing Tennessee Whiskey and Angelina singing I’d rather go blind. Now just imagine the three of them on stage jamming and improvising for about 10 minutes singing these two songs. Check out both videos and see what you think. I believe Chris and Justin were at the CMA awards 5 years ago, they were unbelievable, now throw in Angelina and you have out of this world!
Having viewed Angelina’s live performances from when she 7 on TH-cam, I decided to fly from New York to Norway to see and hear for myself. I had to determine if the sound was enhanced; I.e., post produced. Took my wife as a witness. Then, I met Big Angie Fan, Chris Walker, and was interviewed by the music historian, Alan Piper. Seeing them together was pretty amazing. “Mount Everest” was Angelina’s opening song 🎶. She came on stage, kicked off her slippers, and blew us away. Yup… no enhancing, just amazing. I used a measuring app and got readings of her height between 5’ 11” and 6’ 2”. She has a dominating stage presence as you can see from Chris’ video. Compare her to the bass player… lol. Chris Walker is such an incredible videographer and editor that I am trying to hire him!!! Of course, I went to her New Hampshire concert 🎵. The range of Angelina’s vocal acrobatics was stunning. I heard another fan comment that she could sing “Phantom of the Opera.” Notice how Angelina took the profanity out of “Mount Everest” lyrics. I am waiting for her rendition of “Girl from Ipanema” and “Midnight at the Oasis. Salam!
Hi Boudy, I was there too. It was her Norway concert in July 2022. This was her opening number. She just breeze out on stage and hit us with this. No one knew what was going on. She had never sung this song before. The superfans were on their phone trying to work out what this song was. No one had a clue. And of course it is great
Great comment Alan (and wonderful podcast last Thursday😉) BOUDY!… you’ve just stumbled into another HUGE Angelina Jordan rabbit hole! And all of our European Ångels will now get to share with you their thoughts about AJ’s brilliance! Pontus Osterlin was there too (he got to meet Alan IRL). This interaction between Angelina’s “RL” live audience and her HUGE “virtual” audience was what I was hoping would happen in Portsmouth New Hampshire (USA). Sadly it did not. We are hoping that the Westgate in Vegas will treat its audience a bit more liberally. This was a *GREAT* reaction/analysis Boudy. I absolutely LOVE that you noticed Angelina’s ad-libbing for the electronic effects. 😳 It is absolutely mind-boggling how creative this woman is. You may have to go to *TWO* reactions per week (🙏 please🤞)
Great reaction. This was a complete surprise to the people in the audience. She opened her show with this song and no one knew it was coming. If you get a chance, there are about 17 other songs from this concert that are well worth watching and reacting to.
Absolutely phenomenal performance from Angelina, I attended this concert as well, Angelina’s stage presence was incredible her live vocals stunning, Angelina never disappoints,I first attended an AJ concert when Angelina was 12 years old in her home country Norway, her rendition of It’s A Man’s World blue my mind, and her concert in Portsmouth USA was amazing too, as you know Angelina has a event I Las Vegas on the 29th February I’m travelling from the United Kingdom to see my favourite vocalist again, Angelina is so special and talented, great reaction thanks!
Knowing that Billie Holiday was always fascinated by having her voice emulate the sound of actual musical instruments, comes into play by Angelina here. It is truly amazing how many of Billie's unique improvisational singing techniques are part of Angelina's repertoire.
I haven't even watched this yet..but I'm so excited! I love this performance! Ok, now I've watched it 😊😊😊..you never disappoint! Chris taped, Rusty edit! I'm seeing her in Vegas! Happy Monday❤
Thank you Boudy, every reaction of yours to Angelina is a wonderful moment to listen to you. I was at this fantastic concert in 2022 and this song with which she opened the concert stunned us all, no one imagined that she would choose these tones and this song, it was absolutely exciting it was absolutely emotional and her ability to overcome the effects of the digital tuner with her falsetto is fantastic. There were many angels at the concert, including Chris and Alan, who you know.💛🧡❤
Thank you for your reviews. I really appreciate all the information you give on the how and why things are done in the music industry. Since I am not a musician, it really helps me to truly appreciate what I am hearing. 😀
Sooo Good. And when you think 2 1/2 years had gone by without her being on stage for a concert. These three concerts in Norway, and the two prior border spectacular! 😇🌺
So this opened a jazz concert. When I first heard this I was what???? I have listened every day for 8 years ...I have not heard her do that before. Thats Angelina for you. The most predictably unpredictably brilliant artist. Its addictive. That feeling you are at the top of the piste about to launche yourself off. Anticipation excitement.
16 year old Angelina just kicking “A” with her opening number!!! Thank you for finally watching these fan made videos. Go back to 12 year old AJ singing It’s A Man’s World live with full Military band and at 11 with a small combo singing Etta James Just Want to Make Love to You. So many mind blowing songs with every cell phone recording!
I know it's not fair, but we mclove it anyway! AJ quality is sooo goood that even with fanfilmed recordings its still worth listening to. Just think you have a whole concert Chris recorded. Thanks again Chris!
Live on stage in the 3 concerts she did that summer the music is unreal it's so good I've listened in it hundreds of times, I just never get tired of it
Free flowing jazz at its best ! This was I'm sure quite unexpected for audience to witness at this concert. Most would probably expect Angelina to come on and do one of her original songs or covers, but this is the first time I think she's ever performed this song and it's amazing what she did in the composition to make it so jazzy and so wonderful. I think this is the genius of Angelina is that she is so inherently infused with jazz in her DNA. Everything that comes out through vocals is so free-flowing and loosely constructed at times but so tight and controlled. It's totally amazing to witness. Angelina will bring Jazz into the pop world as we all know and I think it's going to be a wonderful combination for mainstream music and the world to enjoy for decades to come. Thank you for being one of the great TH-cam channels that support this wonderful artist and keep posting my friend all the angels all over the world. Definitely love what you're doing. Much thanks and love from Canada 👍🇨🇦❤️
Thats one of the best songs from angelina, so groovy and jazzy, i cant believe, i have listen 100th times, love it....i cant wait to see angelina live on stage 👑♥️🌹💫 thank you for your great reaction 😊❤
Angelina Jordan blew everyone away with her surprise. Angelina has been singing with this band for years. The call and response is superb. Have you heard the original? Labrinth did his original in a darker way.. Thanks, Boudy.
She is a combination of the Mormon Tabernacle Organ and a slide whistle. She plays on each note with the smoothness of a gentle ocean wave on a calm day making us feel the emotion in each word or sound. My words fail me, sorry.
Boudy, I think you are right, they only minimally rehearsed this & they were jammin'. This is definitely one of the songs I hope she records professionally "Live in Studio" with Republic Records. And, I hope she does more of those falsetto duels with a guitarist on other songs. It's magical!!!
Every thousand years or so someone comes along that is not made from the same stuff that the rest of us are made from, such is AJ. A thousand years from now, they will be talking about her and her music.....we are blessed to be living in this time with her.
The stupidest thing the governments in Europe came up with was those "copyright" rules. It put a lot of "content creators" out of business. As the content creators said (and I agreed with them), "We are not making any money off of these videos. It gets the artist out there and known by the people." Personally, I heard artists I have never heard before. In conclusion, it is smart of Angelina to reverse that stupid ruling and sanction it to be put out there. Good for her.
Angelina has not reversed any rulings and specifically requested no video taping from cameras or phone at her New Hampshire performance. Any recordings from there were without her consent.
As usual Angelina improves a song , she just has the natural innate talent and ability to take song to new heights. She is always a musical adventure to unknown regions. Thanks Arab man you made this even more special by your comments, Saludes!!!
Hi Boudy - was at the concert a few days later on the 10th where AJ opened with this. Before the show she did a 20 minute sound check, casually dressed in leather jacket and jeans. It was like a mini concert - group of us were watching and she stopped and waved. She did parts of songs, slightly different each time, but did not do this in the sound check. So it was a great opener to the concert. The sound was awesome - I was actually 10 feet from her, but still sounded great.
Hi, Steve. I imagine it was an incredible experience to watch her in this show and the pleasant surprise that this song caused in you. Can you tell us what model your cell phone is and if you used an attached microphone and something to keep the camera stable? Peace from Brazil, Pedro.
That all explains why I keep hearing that no matter how good you think she sounds, if you haven't heard her live you haven't heard anything - it is just SO much better... I have heard that many times.
Boudy, this is yet another example of how much music Angelina digests. I truly believe she can recall every song after just one listen. While her cover songs (she doesn't cover songs, she completes them) are awesome, she has told us, she has written more than 100 songs and we have been blessed with 12 to date. Here is the list of her originals, along with songs she was the first to perform. "What is Life" first sung at age 11. We don't know how old she was when she wrote each song. Age presented is her age when she first sang it. "Oslo" age 11 "Shield" age 12 "Million Miles" age 14 we know she wrote this one in the days after her maternal grandfather passed in 2019 when she was 13 "7th Heaven" age 15 "Love Don't Let Me Go" age 17 "Now I'm the Fool" age 17 "Fire and Rain" age 17 "It's All My Fault" age 17 "Good in Goodbyes" age 17 "Diamond" age 17 "Our Time" age 17 Should include songs for which she was the first to sing "I'm Still Holding Out for You" age 10 .... considered one of her best vocal performances by many "Song for A" age 12 "Above the Water" a EDM song released near her 14th birthday "We're the Best" sung with RedOne at the FIFA Awards February 27, 2023 Angelina wrote new lyrics for two famous songs by Amy Winehouse, "Back to Black" and "Rehab" since it was inappropriate for a preteen to sing the original lyrics. For "Back to Black" Angelina wrote the new lyrics in the 24 hours prior to the recording, then needed just two takes.
AJ in power / soul mode, one of my favorite styles for her to sing. She just SLAYS songs like this - see her renditions of Mercy (especially the sitting Portsmouth rehearsal version, unreal!), Rather Be Blind, Man's World. She started the concert with this song and blew the socks off people, as I understand things from those who were there. She never ceases to amaze!
Mount Everest - released in June 21, 2019 by Labrinth on Album „Imagination & the Misfit Kid”, Copyright Sony Music Entertainment. The author of the text and music is Timothy Lee McKenzie (born 4 January 1989), better known by his stage name Labrinth, is a British singer, rapper, songwriter and record producer. After initially pursuing a career in music production, Simon Cowell signed him to his record label Syco Music as a recording artist, becoming the first singer who Cowell signed without having competed on a talent show in six years. Labrinth collaborated with the English rapper Tinie Tempah, appearing as an uncredited featured artist on the single "Pass Out", and later officially on "Frisky"; before releasing his first solo single, "Let the Sun Shine" in September 2010, all three of which peaked in the top five on the UK Singles Chart.
This is a masterpiece by her! I love when she sings bluesy/jazzy way! And I was there!!! Can’t say enough, she absolutely amazing live!!!! Thank you for a wonderful reaction!👌💫💎❤️
Don't feel like the 'Lone Ranger' about having never heard this from her. The real amazing thing is she opened with this song. Angelina put out a couple of TikTok's with some of these notes that led me to believe she was going to be introducing them into her concert menu. I, however, never thought she would break it out like this. This was amazing and her little back and forth with her guitarist was sublime. To let you know Rusty is the Godfather of getting Angelina out to the world. He has a chronological list of Angelina's progress through the first few years of her performing. He also wrote a biography of her early years. All of us owe Rusty a huge thank you for all the hours he put in to get the word out. I don't know if you have seen and heard Angelina's latest rendition of 'Unchained Melody'? It is ......sorry haven't got the words yet to fully express the emotional range it put me through. Let's just say at the end I was laughing and crying at the same time. Here's the link. th-cam.com/video/XxduGSjAJCo/w-d-xo.html Angelina 18 'Unchained Melody'
Boudy, With your willingness to review these fan made videos, you will be opening yourself up to the true brilliance of this pheromone of musical history. More comments later, have to run. ♾Rb
The guitarist is Edgil with whom she did many covers in his home studio and the band did several Christmas concerts with her when she was much younger.
You liked the guitar and the music in this song, listen next time to "Angelina jordan - It's a Man's World,Live (audio) From Kongsberg jazz Festival 2018" 🦶🦶👑🗣🎙🎷+ 🎸
Here Angelina, if ever there was a need, demonstrates her incredible ability to vocally transcribe a very particular song like this, needless to say that the result is simply stupendous! Thanks for the more than fair reaction, good life and music
Suggestion: Do AJ : I'd rather go blind. She's good. Then. Do Karise Eden : I'd rather go blind. She's on another level. I'm Norwegian, and I love a lot of Norwegian artists (Angelina, Aurora, Wardruna, Susanne Sundfør, Sivert Høyem & Madrugada, Ane Brun, and so on) because QUALITY, but Karise Eden (from Australia) is something else entirely ❤ You should take the leap and give her a listen 🎶 🎙
Another awesome reaction Boudy! This was her own concert in Kongsberg, and another in Kurbadhagen a few days later. From what I have heard from everyone who was lucky enough to attend, both concerts were mind blowingly good! Her performance of "Million Miles" at the Kurbadhagen concert on July 10th will literally knock you off your chair! See you again next Monday.
A Zoom hn1 is a tiny powerhouse with stereo mics and about the size of a candy bar. Gain knob right up. Front. Ive recorded several concerts and none of it peaked or washed out. For about $100 its great
I can tell we were pretty much in shock, we had no idea how great her falsetto would sound at this point. It was a huge surprise. She's not just singing; she's casting spells, leaving audiences enchanted, transformed, and forever in awe of her unparalleled mastery.
I was there two rows behind Cris filming and the sound of her was divine, best concert ever and her own "Million Miles" version here gave me instant tears. Best concert ever! I hope to get a chance more to hear her live again. Phenomenal reaction as always. Love from Norwegian subscriber.
This is one of my favorite bits from her catalog, and I totally agree with you - how on earth is this captured on a phone or camera. This also show her musical imagination, just like we all vitnessed with Bohemian Rhapsody :)
The thing you were saying about having a "perfect mix" through the PA system… that only applies if the recording device is perfectly placed in relation to all the speakers piping out different sound. That is usually not the case, so the mix is rarely "perfect" in recordings like this. And this is not even considering how poor the sound quality is in most cell phone recordings, even if the phone is perfectly placed in the space. In summary: it is _exceedingly_ difficult to get decent sound in a live recording from a cell phone or a typical consumer-grade video camera (which is usually not allowed, anyway, so we're stuck with cell phones) - a fact that is lost on a great many people. (I see that Chris has already explained that he used a separate sound recorder here, which is why this sounds pretty decent.)
I can’t think of ANY other performer who could take this non discript song and make it instantly Phenomenal !!!!! Angelina does this over and over again!
Another great reaction, thanks. A song that you might consider is "If You Go Away" Angelina was about 10 years old when she sang it. For me it is one of the only times when emotionally she sounds like a child as if she were singing to her father who was away from home for his job . Rusty Shackleford did a painting vudeo for it which is really nice.
An amazing performance! Your expected reaction! Win, win! I visit two live streams regularly (Shakes-P, and Teespicer) and ALWAYS request this song. So unexpected, so effortless, so absolutely cool! I agree with you--- I could listen to the call and response between voice and guitar for hours. Love it!
Boudy I was filming from about 30 feet away! Opening number, we had never heard it before, and she hits us with those vocals. I have a longer version up that includes the instrumental jamming before she came out.

B A F - thanks for your input - always nice to read. I'm trying to get to Vegas - should I arrive, I'll find you! Jonathan Parson NZ :)
@@mangatitiful im going too !!
@BigAngieFan808 - I was at the Portsmouth concert, unfortunately I can’t make Vegas. Enjoy and grab more great footage!
Boudy , puweety PLEASE!! 😊🙏🏽
Her jamming with the ‘Spell’ band, covering Jay Hawkins’ “Portrait of a Man (child).”.
Well worth listening to the original version first, with JH. It’s a beautiful song, with lyrics that you can relate to - especially you.
Angelina talks to the band members during the song and they just nod encouragement and continue playing.
You do not want to miss this one and you find it on her list.
Dear Chris, I am Happy you are in Vegas too See Angelina live again. Greetings from Frankfurt. 👣🍀✨☮️

She change the lyrics a little bit, she is amazing 🥺❤
First song in a concert; blew everybody's mind!! 😎
I love Angelina Mondays with Boudy. 👍
Seems like she is having fun with this. The musicians live for a moment like this.
Oh man! I loved your reaction to this one!

I had the pleassure to be there and listen to this from 45 feet away. It was mesmerising. An experience for life.
Angelina litterally kicks of off her slippers and sings this for her opening song. 🍁
Angelina is amazing….I do hope to see her live one day !!!
Thank you for your reviews. I really appreciate all the information you give on the how and why things are done in the music industry. Since I am not a musician, it really helps me to truly appreciate what I am hearing. 😀
Sooo Good. And when you think 2 1/2 years had gone by without her being on stage for a concert. These three concerts in Norway, and the two prior border spectacular! 😇🌺
So this opened a jazz concert. When I first heard this I was what???? I have listened every day for 8 years ...I have not heard her do that before. Thats Angelina for you. The most predictably unpredictably brilliant artist. Its addictive. That feeling you are at the top of the piste about to launche yourself off. Anticipation excitement.
Haha, welcome to Angelina, the snippets are probably voice #312.
Fantastic! I would love to see your reaction to Angelinas cover of Dusk till Dawn.
From Mount AJ - the mountain no one else can climb !!!
16 year old Angelina just kicking “A” with her opening number!!!
Thank you for finally watching these fan made videos. Go back to 12 year old AJ singing It’s A Man’s World live with full Military band and at 11 with a small combo singing Etta James Just Want to Make Love to You. So many mind blowing songs with every cell phone recording!
I know it's not fair, but we mclove it anyway!
AJ quality is sooo goood that even with fanfilmed recordings its still worth listening to.
Just think you have a whole concert Chris recorded. Thanks again Chris!
Live on stage in the 3 concerts she did that summer the music is unreal it's so good I've listened in it hundreds of times, I just never get tired of it
We all know how talented AJ is. But she is also such a sweet and caring young woman and I hope stardom and its associated risks does not change her.
Its really time to listen to "Id rather go blind"!
One of my top five all-time favorite performances by Angelina.
Free flowing jazz at its best ! This was I'm sure quite unexpected for audience to witness at this concert. Most would probably expect Angelina to come on and do one of her original songs or covers, but this is the first time I think she's ever performed this song and it's amazing what she did in the composition to make it so jazzy and so wonderful. I think this is the genius of Angelina is that she is so inherently infused with jazz in her DNA. Everything that comes out through vocals is so free-flowing and loosely constructed at times but so tight and controlled. It's totally amazing to witness. Angelina will bring Jazz into the pop world as we all know and I think it's going to be a wonderful combination for mainstream music and the world to enjoy for decades to come. Thank you for being one of the great TH-cam channels that support this wonderful artist and keep posting my friend all the angels all over the world. Definitely love what you're doing. Much thanks and love from Canada 👍🇨🇦❤️
Thats one of the best songs from angelina, so groovy and jazzy, i cant believe, i have listen 100th times, love it....i cant wait to see angelina live on stage 👑♥️🌹💫 thank you for your great reaction 😊❤
Angelina Jordan blew everyone away with her surprise. Angelina has been singing with this band for years. The call and response is superb. Have you heard the original? Labrinth did his original in a darker way.. Thanks, Boudy.
She is a combination of the Mormon Tabernacle Organ and a slide whistle. She plays on each note with the smoothness of a gentle ocean wave on a calm day making us feel the emotion in each word or sound. My words fail me, sorry.
Boudy, I think you are right, they only minimally rehearsed this & they were jammin'. This is definitely one of the songs I hope she records professionally "Live in Studio" with Republic Records. And, I hope she does more of those falsetto duels with a guitarist on other songs. It's magical!!!
This is one of my most favorite also her performance on Germany's top model "Love on the brain."
She should do some (re)cover on Blues.
She is a story teller so it would be natural.
Excellent reaction. The higher pitched vocal runs, especially when complimented with the instrument runs, were priceless.
Well it’s simple really..she’s a vocal and musical genius.
Every thousand years or so someone comes along that is not made from the same stuff that the rest of us are made from, such is AJ. A thousand years from now, they will be talking about her and her music.....we are blessed to be living in this time with her.
AJ Mondays are the best - a great way to start the week! I love your enthusiasm and how you love her artistry 🎉
The stupidest thing the governments in Europe came up with was those "copyright" rules. It put a lot of "content creators" out of business. As the content creators said (and I agreed with them), "We are not making any money off of these videos. It gets the artist out there and known by the people." Personally, I heard artists I have never heard before. In conclusion, it is smart of Angelina to reverse that stupid ruling and sanction it to be put out there. Good for her.
Angelina has not reversed any rulings and specifically requested no video taping from cameras or phone at her New Hampshire performance. Any recordings from there were without her consent.
As usual Angelina improves a song , she just has the natural innate talent and ability to take song to new heights. She is always a musical adventure to unknown regions. Thanks Arab man you made this even more special by your comments, Saludes!!!
Hi Boudy - was at the concert a few days later on the 10th where AJ opened with this. Before the show she did a 20 minute sound check, casually dressed in leather jacket and jeans. It was like a mini concert - group of us were watching and she stopped and waved. She did parts of songs, slightly different each time, but did not do this in the sound check. So it was a great opener to the concert. The sound was awesome - I was actually 10 feet from her, but still sounded great.
Hi, Steve. I imagine it was an incredible experience to watch her in this show and the pleasant surprise that this song caused in you. Can you tell us what model your cell phone is and if you used an attached microphone and something to keep the camera stable?
Peace from Brazil,
Pedro.
Yes, she doesn't need synthesizers, she can do it with her vocal abilities.
It's the open song of the show !
I loved that you pulled up the original!!! Makes her cover SO much more powerful!!!
That all explains why I keep hearing that no matter how good you think she sounds, if you haven't heard her live you haven't heard anything - it is just SO much better... I have heard that many times.
Boudy, this is yet another example of how much music Angelina digests. I truly believe she can recall every song after just one listen. While her cover songs (she doesn't cover songs, she completes them) are awesome, she has told us, she has written more than 100 songs and we have been blessed with 12 to date. Here is the list of her originals, along with songs she was the first to perform.
"What is Life" first sung at age 11. We don't know how old she was when she wrote each song. Age presented is her age when she first sang it.
"Oslo" age 11
"Shield" age 12
"Million Miles" age 14 we know she wrote this one in the days after her maternal grandfather passed in 2019 when she was 13
"7th Heaven" age 15
"Love Don't Let Me Go" age 17
"Now I'm the Fool" age 17
"Fire and Rain" age 17
"It's All My Fault" age 17
"Good in Goodbyes" age 17
"Diamond" age 17
"Our Time" age 17
Should include songs for which she was the first to sing
"I'm Still Holding Out for You" age 10 .... considered one of her best vocal performances by many
"Song for A" age 12
"Above the Water" a EDM song released near her 14th birthday
"We're the Best" sung with RedOne at the FIFA Awards February 27, 2023
Angelina wrote new lyrics for two famous songs by Amy Winehouse, "Back to Black" and "Rehab" since it was inappropriate for a preteen to sing the original lyrics. For "Back to Black" Angelina wrote the new lyrics in the 24 hours prior to the recording, then needed just two takes.
For this one, Angelina also changed the lyrjcs a little bit.
AJ in power / soul mode, one of my favorite styles for her to sing. She just SLAYS songs like this - see her renditions of Mercy (especially the sitting Portsmouth rehearsal version, unreal!), Rather Be Blind, Man's World. She started the concert with this song and blew the socks off people, as I understand things from those who were there. She never ceases to amaze!
Mount Everest - released in June 21, 2019 by Labrinth on Album „Imagination & the Misfit Kid”, Copyright Sony Music Entertainment.
The author of the text and music is Timothy Lee McKenzie (born 4 January 1989), better known by his stage name Labrinth, is a British singer, rapper, songwriter and record producer. After initially pursuing a career in music production, Simon Cowell signed him to his record label Syco Music as a recording artist, becoming the first singer who Cowell signed without having competed on a talent show in six years. Labrinth collaborated with the English rapper Tinie Tempah, appearing as an uncredited featured artist on the single "Pass Out", and later officially on "Frisky"; before releasing his first solo single, "Let the Sun Shine" in September 2010, all three of which peaked in the top five on the UK Singles Chart.
She's worked with that band many times, thus how well they meshed.
This is a masterpiece by her! I love when she sings bluesy/jazzy way! And I was there!!! Can’t say enough, she absolutely amazing live!!!! Thank you for a wonderful reaction!👌💫💎❤️
I would have commented that you listened to the original song so you can appreciate more what Angelina did here...and im glad you did. 😉
My thoughts exactly, I just need hours of them jammin on this!
Don't feel like the 'Lone Ranger' about having never heard this from her. The real amazing thing is she opened with this song. Angelina put out a couple of TikTok's with some of these notes that led me to believe she was going to be introducing them into her concert menu. I, however, never thought she would break it out like this. This was amazing and her little back and forth with her guitarist was sublime.
To let you know Rusty is the Godfather of getting Angelina out to the world. He has a chronological list of Angelina's progress through the first few years of her performing. He also wrote a biography of her early years. All of us owe Rusty a huge thank you for all the hours he put in to get the word out.
I don't know if you have seen and heard Angelina's latest rendition of 'Unchained Melody'? It is ......sorry haven't got the words yet to fully express the emotional range it put me through. Let's just say at the end I was laughing and crying at the same time. Here's the link.

Boudy, With your willingness to review these fan made videos, you will be opening yourself up to the true brilliance of this pheromone of musical history. More comments later, have to run. ♾Rb
The guitarist is Edgil with whom she did many covers in his home studio and the band did several Christmas concerts with her when she was much younger.
Great reaction as usual! God Bless and Keep you in His Love!! Angelina is a gift to the world!! ✨🇨🇦✨❤️
It's so lovely to look forward to Mondays! Thank you SO much 🙏 SO glad you found this song - it's awesome & so is your reaction.
You liked the guitar and the music in this song, listen next time to "Angelina jordan - It's a Man's World,Live (audio) From Kongsberg jazz Festival 2018" 🦶🦶👑🗣🎙🎷+ 🎸
Sie ist besonders 👍👍👍💕💞💕💞💕💞
Here Angelina, if ever there was a need, demonstrates her incredible ability to vocally transcribe a very particular song like this, needless to say that the result is simply stupendous! Thanks for the more than fair reaction, good life and music
Angelina Is Amazing ❤
Angelina is a genius
Angelina saw the potential in Labyrinth nice original. Reminds me how she lifted Baby Fuzz’s song.
Wow, I would love to hear her sing more like this..
Can't wait for Vegas!
Suggestion:
Do AJ : I'd rather go blind. She's good.
Then.
Do Karise Eden : I'd rather go blind. She's on another level.
I'm Norwegian, and I love a lot of Norwegian artists (Angelina, Aurora, Wardruna, Susanne Sundfør, Sivert Høyem & Madrugada, Ane Brun, and so on) because QUALITY, but Karise Eden (from Australia) is something else entirely ❤
You should take the leap and give her a listen 🎶 🎙
Another awesome reaction Boudy! This was her own concert in Kongsberg, and another in Kurbadhagen a few days later. From what I have heard from everyone who was lucky enough to attend, both concerts were mind blowingly good! Her performance of "Million Miles" at the Kurbadhagen concert on July 10th will literally knock you off your chair! See you again next Monday.
One of my favorite Angelina' song. Powerful vertion !! She is really a queen of the song !! So talent Angelina !!
Outstanding she has it all ❤
A Zoom hn1 is a tiny powerhouse with stereo mics and about the size of a candy bar. Gain knob right up. Front. Ive recorded several concerts and none of it peaked or washed out. For about $100 its great
I always look forward to Angelina Mondays, luv it ❤ That was her opening song and you're right it was a jazz improv. Que Viva la princesa descalsa ❤
Thanks for the reaction to our angel Angelina...she is simply the best...👍👏
I can tell we were pretty much in shock, we had no idea how great her falsetto would sound at this point. It was a huge surprise. She's not just singing; she's casting spells, leaving audiences enchanted, transformed, and forever in awe of her unparalleled mastery.
I was there two rows behind Cris filming and the sound of her was divine, best concert ever and her own "Million Miles" version here gave me instant tears. Best concert ever! I hope to get a chance more to hear her live again. Phenomenal reaction as always. Love from Norwegian subscriber.
Go and check out Mattias Axelsson recording of her show in Kurbadhagen, Norway-22. Fantastic show!❤️
♥♥♥♥♥
❤❤❤
This is one of my favorite bits from her catalog, and I totally agree with you - how on earth is this captured on a phone or camera. This also show her musical imagination, just like we all vitnessed with Bohemian Rhapsody :)
The thing you were saying about having a "perfect mix" through the PA system… that only applies if the recording device is perfectly placed in relation to all the speakers piping out different sound. That is usually not the case, so the mix is rarely "perfect" in recordings like this. And this is not even considering how poor the sound quality is in most cell phone recordings, even if the phone is perfectly placed in the space. In summary: it is _exceedingly_ difficult to get decent sound in a live recording from a cell phone or a typical consumer-grade video camera (which is usually not allowed, anyway, so we're stuck with cell phones) - a fact that is lost on a great many people. (I see that Chris has already explained that he used a separate sound recorder here, which is why this sounds pretty decent.)
I could listen to that call and response with the guitar all day, everyday!
I can’t think of ANY other performer who could take this non discript song and make it instantly Phenomenal !!!!! Angelina does this over and over again!
No te pierdas Andrea Motis .....Maravillosa!!
Another great reaction, thanks. A song that you might consider is "If You Go Away" Angelina was about 10 years old when she sang it. For me it is one of the only times when emotionally she sounds like a child as if she were singing to her father who was away from home for his job . Rusty Shackleford did a painting vudeo for it which is really nice.
hafe the same tone of the guitar? immense Angelina!! thanks Arab man from 🇦🇷
How the hell have I not seen this performance before??? The Southern California high desert sends love to my Arab brother!
❤ Monday, at last! Can’t wait for the next. 😅
Did you notice the lazy delayed vocals? I’ve mentioned it before, her timing!!!‼️
An amazing performance! Your expected reaction! Win, win! I visit two live streams regularly (Shakes-P, and Teespicer) and ALWAYS request this song. So unexpected, so effortless, so absolutely cool! I agree with you--- I could listen to the call and response between voice and guitar for hours. Love it!
A- Man the first time I heard it I thought hey, duet with guitar.! One of my fav's.!
