Angelina sings songs previously done. most people call them covers but Angelina always makes them her own. she doesnt sing like anyone else and she definitely doesnt copy other people. she ALWAYS adds her own spin to the performance.
Angelina brings back class and elegance to the music industry - something that it is sorely lacking. Angelina, to me, is the greatest vocalist of our time. Thanks for the great reaction!
Angelina Was born with a great soul, reincarnation?. . . that discussion is for another day. She then took her musical gifts , and practiced, and made the best of it. So here we are today. 17 going on 50. Her voice is amazing. She paints musically like a Picasso. Love how she's not "mainstream". THEY would wreck her. Love your reactions, keep them coming. ✌👍🙏🇺🇸🇩🇰🏴☠️
You should definitely listen to her 2022 version of My Funny Valentine.. In it she uses every vocal tool she has at her disposal, and is in my opinion a cover for the ages.. a masterwork that puts her among the all time greats
And if I can allow myself to be REALLY greedy, I would have loved to see her make a double reaction to both her renditions of the song at 10 and 16 years old. The performances are exactly 6 years apart and is the perfect way to hear the changes in her voice❤️❤️❤️ I will add links in a separate comment in case they get removed.
These are the links to Angelina's performances of "My Funny Valentine at age 10 and 16. 10 years old: m.th-cam.com/video/sZ25H4a2gPI/w-d-xo.html 16 years old: m.th-cam.com/video/ETGLbsGDAI0/w-d-xo.html Much Love from Norway 🇸🇯❤️🇺🇸🔥
And the EMMY goes to ... "BRITTREACTS" for best reaction to Angelina Jordan's cover of "I Have Nothing" (made famous by the late, great Whitney Houston)! Seriously - beautiful, heartfelt reaction. And thank you for sharing your own personal experience with Whitney Houston's music & career. Angelina was 16 when she sang this cover. Another great recent tribute/cover by Angelina is the well known Elvis song Suspicious Minds. (If you're not familiar with the Elvis version, please listen to at least part of it before listening to Angelina's version.) Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
Yes, it’s magic! :) Have you heard a masterpiece she recorded as a 10 years old, a demo for Baby Fuzz: “I’m still holding out for you”? So far I could read, Baby Fuzz recorded himself after her, as her parents did not want to publish due to a lirics…
Thanks for sharing your stories about Whitney. Angelina gives so much respect to the original artists. I feel that Adele should start writing for Angelina!
To begin with, anyone who could begin singing adult songs by the age of 1-1/2 , has to be operating on a genius level. Her grandmother was reciting her own poetry on a program called 'Radio Iran' when she was 4 and has always loved jazz singing as she was raised in Iran. Knowing from personal knowledge that specially gifted kids, like she herself was, are able to absorb and actually perform lyrical enunciation (as in poetry or singing) very early in life. It was she who came to quickly realize that her baby granddaughter could compartmentalize various lyrics and tunes with an ability to bring them out vocally. When you add to the fact that Angelina is also a 'vocal chameleon', able to emulate the exact vocals of numerous A-List singers, which she first displayed to the public at 7 when she performed Billie Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday' in the Norway's Got Talent Competition. Young Angelina was especially tuning in to Billie Holiday's form of singing jazz and that is where she learned the 'breathy', 'whisper-like' inflections Billie made famous in jazz singing. She is also able to emulate the 'slurring' of words and mid-sentence 'key' changes that Amy Winehouse used. Billie and Amy are the two most unique jazz singers of all time and when you add Angelina's personal ability and sounds to the songs she does, it's as if your hearing a myriad of other artists integrated into her songs. Adele in not a jazz singer, nor is Whitney, but Angelina can emulate them as well. Have never heard another singer who could present such an intricate, complex combination of vocals in a single song. She is the most versatile singer of different genre singing that this planet has ever produced.
The Cinemaphotography, a total MASTERPIECE, Excellent ART Cole McCarthy and Chip McCarthy. Angelina at 16 is the MASTER of her universe, she is top priority for both Stargate, and Republic Records. AJ's voice has been unique since she was 7 years old and now at 16, she controls us as an audience, leaving us hang on every word and phrase. AJ adopts the performance to pay homage to the original hit but then makes it her own and so much better than the original.

Thank you for another excellent reaction from you to my favourite singer. You should be aware, though, that her voice is very, very addictive, and before you know it will be impossible for you to go a day without you watching and listening at least once a day. O.K. Let me try to solve your dilemma about finding suitable words to describe Angelina. Are you ready? Take a deep breath and say "Angelina". Your problem is solved. 🙂
Angelina loved Whitney. Her first video of her singing is a few lines of "I Will Always Love You" when she was 18 months old. She also sang it when she was 11 years old, and to me, it felt like a blending of Dolly's and Whitney's versions.
Here is the interview that features her at 18 months old singing "I will always love you." The clip of her singing it is at 1:52 in the video. No subtitles, but great to see anyway th-cam.com/video/VJjG68Dfr-8/w-d-xo.html
Excellent point! I also heard it as an exquisite blending of the original from Dolly Parton's original and the later cover by Whitney Houston, while still working in unique AJ touches. A masterpiece.
As a fan of Angelina l say bravo to you. Angels (Angelina's fans) really recognize someone who gets her. You have quickly and intuitively seen many of her remarkable attributes. This song is particularly meaningful to Angelina. There is a shocking little video snippet of Angelina in her crib at one and a half (yes, that's right) with a little microphone singing a line from this very song. We say that Angelina does not cover songs. She uncovers them, digging deep and presenting the emotional core by emphasizing lyrical meaning. When you hear her reasons for picking songs, you will quickly see she connects with music at a visceral and elemental level. She is simply astonishing.
yeah and she was 16 years old here, i know they say age doesn't matter but it does, in order to preform these tributes you must have a higher level of respect which I'm sure comes with life experiences to understand that. she is phenomenal, our prodigy girl. thank you for a great reaction
Angelina is a gorgeous diva, looooook and whitney was sooo gooood, but angelina is the highest class of vocal and music, thats heavenly, her ton, control wooow thank you for your great reaction to this masterpiece for ever , i have listen 1000 x, i cant stop to listen angelina 👑♥️🌹💫
I truly believe there is a peace of all this singers soul inside Angelina. Every song she performs makes you whanna tear up. Yes it’s a tribute for sure, I agree.
She changed the key to this song, but does it really matter as long as she has the ability to give each word, or phrase, meaning like no one else in this universe can. How can she evoke such emotion in each and every performance? Why do I get chills, or cry tears, or lose my breath when Angelina sing a song that I have experienced many times in the past without this happening? If this feeling only happened to me that would be ok, but it happens to billions of people. We play these videos of AJ over, and over again to get our high. I was a Whitney fan from the beginning of her career to her tragic end. Whitney was great, but Angelina at 16 is far better than Whitney ever was at making you feel each word, and phrase. AJ changes every cover to make it hers and far, far better than the original. AJ is the greatest STORYTELLING ARTEST I have ever experienced in my 75 years. SuperHero
“She has been able to evolve quietly”. What a wonderful way to describe why most of the world hasn’t head of Angelina Jordan… yet. Despite seemingly at a loss for words, your reaction was perfect. 🖤👣
At her last concert on July 10th 2022 in Norway, when Angelina told why she sings this song and dedicated it to her grandmother Mery Zamani (her grandma was sick and couldn't accompany Angelina on the trip to Norway and both were very sad), I understand this song completely differently whenever I hear the line "Don't you dare walk away from me". 👣💯 *AJ* 💯 👣
Angelina’s voice and her total being is like an ocean wave or soft summer breeze that takes you in and rushes you to places you have rarely experienced. Your heart rate increases, you find it difficult to catch your breath, chills and shells engulf you. You are now addicted to Angelina Jordan the finest story telling vocalist I have ever experienced in my 75 years of listening to the best the world has to offer.
Actually her dress is light blue. The same she wore at Allsang på grensen, performing the same song. Angelina loves to draw her own outfit so this may well be her own design. 🤗
Thank you, Britt, for your reactions to "our" beautiful girl! She is just mindblowing in everything she does! She will crush everyone ones she is "released" and promoted. I really enjoy your reactions, and will follow your Journey with Angelina! Love from Norway 🇧🇻
She is fast becoming a superstar singing great music from a time past she is supposed to release a album this year as she graduates from school and the record company can permote her and she can tour .her music is great without flashing lights and half naked dancers . .enjoyed your reaction 👍
The dress is actually powder blue, but in B/W the video is very dramatic. Her group knows how to present videos to try to match the unbelievable Story Telling Signature Vocals of our genius, Angelina Jordan.
This is a masterpiece, Angelina Jordan Astar my favorite singer of all time regardless of age she’s my number one singer on my top 10 she sing me to sleep and she wakes me up in the morning. I’m 79 now.
Congrats on gathering so many comments and attention from Angelina's "angels", you deserve it. Where ever you go in the rabbit hole you will continue to feel Angelina's love and respect for music, her voice is magical and why she is my favorite. Thumbs up Britt, see you on the next one.
Hi Britt. We do really share our love for Angelina. I do have some suggestions for you. Please listen and react to “Loving you” and her live performance of her original “million miles” from 2022. Keep up your lovely reactions. Greetings from Norway’s neighbor Sweden.
You must must must watch her SUSPICIOUS MINDS .. I cannot wait one more day before seeing what you think. She is (this will be a surprise) fabulous! She dropped it right as she was going to Norway for the concerts .. so for us that couldn't go we had a delicious treat to enjoy! This song you're hearing here she dropped right after coming home from the concerts.
She is a great talent. I watch, so many people give their opinions on the talent of this young lady. It is just as fun to see the reaction of people hearing her for the first time, as it is to hear her sing. By the way, you as lovely as she sounds.
Another fun reaction to watch. As you continue to listen to Angelina (please?!?) you'll discover that this young woman has the remarkable ability to not just sing the notes of a song, she sings the emotions of the song. Sooner or later, you're going to hear her sing and sit with tears running down your face as she reaches out and touches something deep inside you. This song is a good one to see exactly how she has matured. She recorded a version of this same song in her home studio when she was 12. It was good, but you can definitely see how a few years have allowed her voice to strengthen and mature. Oh, and the dress is blue. You should definitely look at her performance of this song in a summer concert back in Norway, in front of a live audience. Our little girl is all grown up!
Wow!!! Your reaction was SO honest, raw, heartfelt... What a refreshing change from the many reactors who want to hear it sung like a cookie cutter, karaoke performance 😂😂 AND you said something I've said many times before, there aren't any words in our vocabulary that can adequately express what she makes us feel..one thing I firmly believe is that Angelina CANNOT be labeled as a specific type of singer.. #1 she ISN'T a singer... She's a prodigy, an artist, she's the incarnate of MAGIC.. taking an iconic song, and doing a tribute but giving it a fresh sound, classic rendition..She cannot be put in a box and labeled. Fans like me truly appreciate your candor and fearless approach, not catering to anyone, being who you are.. very similar to how our Angel performs and TRANSFORMS music in such an impressive mesmerizing way..Thank you for the articulate way you described what we all have in common.. Angelina is able to reach in and give our hearts a H-U-G-E hug straight from hers.. there's only one of her standing, one in a separate realm all her own.. THAT'S the LIGHT that is Angelina Jordan!! Keep those hits coming. I APPRECIATE YOU!! Peace and Blessings 🙏🏻🙏🏻 🎤🎼🎶🎙️🎻🎸🎷🎺🎹🎼🎶🎶🎤
Thanks for your reaction, Britt! Once Angelina dedicated this song to her grandmother, which gave it an even deeper meaning than competing with Whitney Houston. It reminds us how strong their relationship is. Your reactions would benefit from using a line connection for the sound from the music instead of getting it from a loudspeaker.
Empress of Jazz.... Period. She grabs your heart strings and pilots you where she likes and leaves you feeling like you had a euphoric experience. She is the standard in class today and I feel the best vocalist on any stage today.
This is wellStunning performance water voice this is my favorite song so far I’ve heard her saying well dude like suspicious minds that cover by Elvis Presley that’s great one to
Fabulous reaction as always to our barefoot princess ! Angelina has sung this cover of Whitney's sing many times ! Her live version just last year from Norway was fantastic ! She sounded even better than the studio version because she is a natural stage performer and can deliver so effortlessly and passionately on stage ! She has been singing live for ten years now and she is a seasoned veteran who sounds like a 30 year old not 17 ! I would strongly suggest and think it would be fun to see her perform at her first studio recording when she was just 6 years old ! This is even more mind blowing than "I Put a Spell in You " ! She did a cover of "I Who Have Nothing " an original song by Ben E. King and later covered by Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones ! In this video you will see what a confident and comfortable child can do at this age , it's uncanny to watch ! Watch for the comments at the end because they are funny to hear ! Hope you get a chance to react to it ! I want to personally thank you for your continued support of our barefoot princess because it is so appreciated by all! Take care and sending you much thanks and love from Canada ! 👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️
I couldn’t stop smiling with you..she’s pretty good huh? 😁As for her becoming the superstar she wants to be, I can’t help thinking sometimes it’s wise to be careful what you wish for. I’m equally excited and anxious for her.
She wrote a song for her grandfather who passed away Million Miles that you should check out. watch the video though it will put tears in your eyes so much emotion and feeling. Such an angelic voice she is a once in a lifetime talent she could sing the phone book lol
You are so right. It is indeed a tribute and this is only a few months old. She has such respect for all the singers she does covers for .. and it is a stunning and elegant thing to see and do and, of course, hear. Please see her version of Elvis' Suspicious Minds, which she dropped a couple of months before this. Unbelievably brilliant. Her version of the song is beyond .. I want to see and hear your reaction. AND then i agree with the next comment re: My Funny Valentine. Those three current Angelina. She also, in the midst of all this, did three quite big concerts in Norway.
Oops, girl you have slipped. Slipped into a rabbit hole from where I’m sure there’s not much escaping. But, as you will find out, you’ll be down there with millions of us who are not even trying to escape. We are all just thankful that she is sharing with us and allowing us to watch history. Great reaction, thank you.
RIP Lisa Marie Would love to see you react to her recent cover of 'Suspicious Minds' dropped this past spring and maybe include her tribute to Lisa Marie and her family. Beautiful and brought me to tears. She did the King justice in this performance. She has had a deep connection to Elvis and his family especially after having recently met Priscilla. Love the reactions and your appreciation to our Barefoot Princess. ♥👣👸🏻
Thanks for being so open. It seems that she is able to touch each of us deep down in our souls. It’s amazing, I’ve never seen anyone else who can consistently evoke that feeling. Love your reactions
Beautiful reaction, from the very first words, the warmth, tone, passion and sweetness that Angelina manages to instill in this mythical song are truly incredible, even more for a 16-year-old girl, she is absoluty worthy of Whitney. Her phrasing, backed up by her wonderful use of breath, always fascinates me and makes me shiver every time, despite having listened to her hundreds of times. 💛🧡❤
Recorded June~July 2022 age 16&1/2. Whitney was 29 in a studio and David Foster stated they have numerous takes to get it right. In live performances WH normally sang this in a lower key, but every time it was beautiful. Her passing was a huge loss to the music industry.
Your reactions are so respectful and heartfelt..ty for that! It's scary to think her voice hasn't fully matured. You put it perfectly, the world is going to have whiplash when she "arrives".
Great reaction! In your spare time you should listen to the live version of this which she performed in Norway last summer. In that performance it was televised. There were technical issues with the first take so they asked her to perform it again, less then two minutes later. It was breathtaking! She wears the same dress as this video.
I love it when she gets older her voice. She 17 now pretty amazing I believe she hasn't even had heart break yet I she hasn't I hope she doesn't but yea amazing ✌️
One word keeps coming to mind: inexplicable. Definitely transcendent as you said! To experience Angelina Jordan sing is to come into alignment with something perfect in the universe here on earth. I truly feel I have a blessed life just to be here with her at the same time. We are all blessed by her expressions of the human soul with such compassionate reflection. She's a healing force, a superstar who has redefined that word to now only be associated with her and her abilities. Too far? Hehe, maybe, but these are the thoughts and feelings I still have after three years of wanting to hear her voice again and again, no matter the song or her age or how many times I've heard it. Every time is new again.
Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song,& is why she can capture the true spirit of the original singer ❤💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤💙 Loved your reaction!!!
Thanks! I love your reactions to Ms. Jordan ( yes, in my mind she's Ms. Jordan), You so get that this girl is a force of nature and I cannot wait to hear what her album is going to sound like. You mentioned not knowing what's inside of her, what she's capable of... I know It's going back to when she was 13... But THIS is what she's capable of - a karaoke cover of Etta James - I'd Rather Go Blind. I'd humbly recommend that you react to it. Thanks again th-cam.com/video/pK8mMXQb3_I/w-d-xo.html&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE (edit - I hope that didn't sound belittling, I'd never, Angelina is a once-in-a-generation god-sent talent! But the video is literally a girl sitting on the couch singing KARAOKE! A performance that took my head off! As one put it, "Oh, so, you're gonna give me a Grammy performance sittin' on the couch...!!!!")
Thank you for sharing this and know that we share your adoration of Angelina's performance. But girl - where are your headphones?? You're missing out! Treat yourself to the whole experience of her vocal splendour! 👌
i had heard her sing this at a younger age but like you said, she has matured, her breathy tone at the start is sublime, she has so much power and tone even with a breathy tone, what the heck.
I went to two of her concerts in Norway in July. I got to spend a little time with Angelina and her mother (Sara) after both concerts. It was magical especially her singing "I Have Nothing"
Record company who signed her not promoting her till she's finished school. Check her original song Million Miles. It's gorgeous and emotional. First tears listening to her. Not first chills. Lol.
The earliest recording of Angelina is of her singing Whitney Houston. Family film. She was I think in her crib. She was 1 1/2 years old. Angelina was born to sing for us. She knows it is her mission. It is like a fairy tale princess story.
The only way to describe Angelina Jordan's voice is perfection & to know that she is now only 17 is mind blowing!
Angelina sings songs previously done. most people call them covers but Angelina always makes them her own. she doesnt sing like anyone else and she definitely doesnt copy other people. she ALWAYS adds her own spin to the performance.
Angelina brings back class and elegance to the music industry - something that it is sorely lacking. Angelina, to me, is the greatest vocalist of our time. Thanks for the great reaction!
Pianamente d'accordo
💯agree with you Bill 👍
Angelina Was born with a great soul, reincarnation?. . . that discussion is for another day. She then took her musical gifts , and practiced, and made the best of it. So here we are today. 17 going on 50. Her voice is amazing. She paints musically like a Picasso. Love how she's not "mainstream". THEY would wreck her. Love your reactions, keep them coming. ✌👍🙏🇺🇸🇩🇰🏴☠️
No discussion. You cannot reincarnate while you're still alive. Ms. Houston died 2012, when Ms. Jordan was 6 and already recording.
You should definitely listen to her 2022 version of My Funny Valentine.. In it she uses every vocal tool she has at her disposal, and is in my opinion a cover for the ages.. a masterwork that puts her among the all time greats
I agree, and I second your suggestion wholeheartedly
And if I can allow myself to be REALLY greedy, I would have loved to see her make a double reaction to both her renditions of the song at 10 and 16 years old. The performances are exactly 6 years apart and is the perfect way to hear the changes in her voice❤️❤️❤️

Whitney from heaven " SANG !"
Her voice is God sent !!!! She is absolutely an angel sent from heaven.
How Angelina holds that last note is the icing on the cake for me!!
YES yes it is! 👍
Wonderful reaction - Angelina is indeed magic...
Thanks for sharing your stories about Whitney. Angelina gives so much respect to the original artists. I feel that Adele should start writing for Angelina!
yes
I thought she already was writing for her😁
Right?
She is part of that small number of people, special people that we call "The Goat". Greatest of all Time!
To begin with, anyone who could begin singing adult songs by the age of 1-1/2 , has
to be operating on a genius level. Her grandmother was reciting her own poetry on a

When you add to the fact that Angelina is also a 'vocal chameleon', able to emulate the
exact vocals of numerous A-List singers, which she first displayed to the public at 7 when
she performed Billie Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday' in the Norway's Got Talent Competition.

complex combination of vocals in a single song. She is the most versatile singer of different

😭😭 Love you Whitney. Love you Angelina. 🙏❤️🎶
I just love watching you watch this young girl knowing your going to be hooked for life

Whitney was 28 when sang this. Angelina is 16. Imagine Angelina in 12 years! Blows my mind!
Wow. I'm becoming a huge fan of your reactions. I would title this one as........
"Ladies and Gentleman, may I present......THIS!"
Thank you for another excellent reaction from you to my favourite singer. You should be aware, though, that her voice is very, very addictive, and before you know it will be impossible for you to go a day without you watching and listening at least once a day.

We are listening to greatness here. She is the best singer on our times.

Her gown is actually baby blue! Its the same one she wore at the outdoor concert in Norway this Summer. A must see!
“She has been able to evolve quietly”. What a wonderful way to describe why most of the world hasn’t head of Angelina Jordan… yet.
Despite seemingly at a loss for words, your reaction was perfect. 🖤👣
when a young teenager sings A GROWN ASS WOMAN'S song and puts the same amount of force behind it, you realize how special she is.
The version of this song that she did in a studio is even more impressive. She really belts it out.
At her last concert on July 10th 2022 in Norway, when Angelina told why she sings this song and dedicated it to her grandmother Mery Zamani (her grandma was sick and couldn't accompany Angelina on the trip to Norway and both were very sad), I understand this song completely differently whenever I hear the line "Don't you dare walk away from me". 👣💯 *AJ* 💯 👣
She was feeling Whitney's spirit. So very beautiful.

The word you're looking for is transcendent. Angelina's voice, "surpasses all others; pre-eminent".
That was a beautiful reaction,I could feel your honesty,respect,and sensitivity to this great young artist.Thank you so much.
Actually her dress is light blue. The same she wore at Allsang på grensen, performing the same song.

Thank you, Britt, for your reactions to "our" beautiful girl! She is just mindblowing in everything she does! She will crush everyone ones she is "released" and promoted. I really enjoy your reactions, and will follow your Journey with Angelina! Love from Norway 🇧🇻
She is fast becoming a superstar singing great music from a time past she is supposed to release a album this year as she graduates from school and the record company can permote her and she can tour .her music is great without flashing lights and half naked dancers . .enjoyed your reaction 👍
The dress is actually powder blue, but in B/W the video is very dramatic. Her group knows how to present videos to try to match the unbelievable Story Telling Signature Vocals of our genius, Angelina Jordan.
This is a masterpiece, Angelina Jordan Astar my favorite singer of all time regardless of age she’s my number one singer on my top 10 she sing me to sleep and she wakes me up in the morning. I’m 79 now.
Congrats on gathering so many comments and attention from Angelina's "angels", you deserve it. Where ever you go in the rabbit hole you will continue to feel Angelina's love and respect for music, her voice is magical and why she is my favorite. Thumbs up Britt, see you on the next one.
Thank you so much!
Hi Britt. We do really share our love for Angelina. I do have some suggestions for you. Please listen and react to “Loving you” and her live performance of her original “million miles” from 2022. Keep up your lovely reactions. Greetings from Norway’s neighbor Sweden.
I agree that she is indescribable. She's playing guitars in some videos now. She is stunning in every way every time out.
There a nice assortment of live concert footage of Angelina from this past summer , I highly recommend any of those songs for your listening pleasure
“I have nothing” but love for Angie. ❤
You must must must watch her SUSPICIOUS MINDS .. I cannot wait one more day before seeing what you think. She is (this will be a surprise) fabulous! She dropped it right as she was going to Norway for the concerts .. so for us that couldn't go we had a delicious treat to enjoy! This song you're hearing here she dropped right after coming home from the concerts.
She is a great talent. I watch, so many people give their opinions on the talent of this young lady. It is just as fun to see the reaction of people hearing her for the first time, as it is to hear her sing. By the way, you as lovely as she sounds.
Another fun reaction to watch. As you continue to listen to Angelina (please?!?) you'll discover that this young woman has the remarkable ability to not just sing the notes of a song, she sings the emotions of the song. Sooner or later, you're going to hear her sing and sit with tears running down your face as she reaches out and touches something deep inside you. This song is a good one to see exactly how she has matured. She recorded a version of this same song in her home studio when she was 12. It was good, but you can definitely see how a few years have allowed her voice to strengthen and mature. Oh, and the dress is blue. You should definitely look at her performance of this song in a summer concert back in Norway, in front of a live audience. Our little girl is all grown up!
Thank You!😊😊
Wow!!! Your reaction was SO honest, raw, heartfelt... What a refreshing change from the many reactors who want to hear it sung like a cookie cutter, karaoke performance 😂😂 AND you said something I've said many times before, there aren't any words in our vocabulary that can adequately express what she makes us feel..one thing I firmly believe is that Angelina CANNOT be labeled as a specific type of singer.. #1 she ISN'T a singer... She's a prodigy, an artist, she's the incarnate of MAGIC.. taking an iconic song, and doing a tribute but giving it a fresh sound, classic rendition..She cannot be put in a box and labeled. Fans like me truly appreciate your candor and fearless approach, not catering to anyone, being who you are.. very similar to how our Angel performs and TRANSFORMS music in such an impressive mesmerizing way..Thank you for the articulate way you described what we all have in common.. Angelina is able to reach in and give our hearts a H-U-G-E hug straight from hers.. there's only one of her standing, one in a separate realm all her own.. THAT'S the LIGHT that is Angelina Jordan!! Keep those hits coming. I APPRECIATE YOU!! Peace and Blessings 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thanks for your reaction, Britt! Once Angelina dedicated this song to her grandmother, which gave it an even deeper meaning than competing with Whitney Houston. It reminds us how strong their relationship is.
Your reactions would benefit from using a line connection for the sound from the music instead of getting it from a loudspeaker.
Empress of Jazz.... Period.
She grabs your heart strings and pilots you where she likes and leaves you feeling like you had a euphoric experience. She is the standard in class today and I feel the best vocalist on any stage today.
This is wellStunning performance water voice this is my favorite song so far I’ve heard her saying well dude like suspicious minds that cover by Elvis Presley that’s great one to
Fabulous reaction as always to our barefoot princess ! Angelina has sung this cover of Whitney's sing many times ! Her live version just last year from Norway was fantastic ! She sounded even better than the studio version because she is a natural stage performer and can deliver so effortlessly and passionately on stage ! She has been singing live for ten years now and she is a seasoned veteran who sounds like a 30 year old not 17 ! I would strongly suggest and think it would be fun to see her perform at her first studio recording when she was just 6 years old ! This is even more mind blowing than "I Put a Spell in You " ! She did a cover of "I Who Have Nothing " an original song by Ben E. King and later covered by Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones ! In this video you will see what a confident and comfortable child can do at this age , it's uncanny to watch ! Watch for the comments at the end because they are funny to hear ! Hope you get a chance to react to it ! I want to personally thank you for your continued support of our barefoot princess because it is so appreciated by all! Take care and sending you much thanks and love from Canada ! 👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️
I couldn’t stop smiling with you..she’s pretty good huh? 😁As for her becoming the superstar she wants to be, I can’t help thinking sometimes it’s wise to be careful what you wish for. I’m equally excited and anxious for her.
I absolutely love your comments. Yes, as Whitney did for all the world, so does Angelina. Respect 🙏.
You are so beautiful. Another way to say it is concratulations on your face! Thanks for the review! I am always amazed listening to Angelina! Cheers!
Lol!! Thank you so much!
I loved your reaction to the beautiful and talented Angelina! I love her voice and emotion she puts into every song!
She wrote a song for her grandfather who passed away Million Miles that you should check out. watch the video though it will put tears in your eyes so much emotion and feeling. Such an angelic voice she is a once in a lifetime talent she could sing the phone book lol
You are so right. It is indeed a tribute and this is only a few months old. She has such respect for all the singers she does covers for .. and it is a stunning and elegant thing to see and do and, of course, hear.
Please see her version of Elvis' Suspicious Minds, which she dropped a couple of months before this. Unbelievably brilliant. Her version of the song is beyond .. I want to see and hear your reaction.
AND then i agree with the next comment re: My Funny Valentine. Those three current Angelina. She also, in the midst of all this, did three quite big concerts in Norway.
Oops, girl you have slipped. Slipped into a rabbit hole from where I’m sure there’s not much escaping. But, as you will find out, you’ll be down there with millions of us who are not even trying to escape. We are all just thankful that she is sharing with us and allowing us to watch history. Great reaction, thank you.
RIP Lisa Marie
Would love to see you react to her recent cover of 'Suspicious Minds' dropped this past spring and maybe include her tribute to Lisa Marie and her family. Beautiful and brought me to tears. She did the King justice in this performance. She has had a deep connection to Elvis and his family especially after having recently met Priscilla. Love the reactions and your appreciation to our Barefoot Princess. ♥👣👸🏻
Thanks for being so open. It seems that she is able to touch each of us deep down in our souls. It’s amazing, I’ve never seen anyone else who can consistently evoke that feeling. Love your reactions
Beautiful reaction, from the very first words, the warmth, tone, passion and sweetness that Angelina manages to instill in this mythical song are truly incredible, even more for a 16-year-old girl, she is absoluty worthy of Whitney. Her phrasing, backed up by her wonderful use of breath, always fascinates me and makes me shiver every time, despite having listened to her hundreds of times. 💛🧡❤
Nice words Claudio. Same feeling for me and so many other Angels, Gilles V. 🇲🇫 One of the french guys from AJ fans group
Recorded June~July 2022 age 16&1/2. Whitney was 29 in a studio and David Foster stated they have numerous takes to get it right. In live performances WH normally sang this in a lower key, but every time it was beautiful. Her passing was a huge loss to the music industry.
ron I believe this was recorded after she returned from her Norway concerts. So that would have made it the end of July.
Spettacolo Puro di grandissimo talento
I like your word, incomparable. I find none better
Your reactions are so respectful and heartfelt..ty for that! It's scary to think her voice hasn't fully matured. You put it perfectly, the world is going to have whiplash when she "arrives".
Thank you so much!
You MUST react to Angelina singing " I Keep Holding Out for You" at the age of 10 will Blow Your MIND!!!
Stunning! A word..😋
thank you for your reaction .
...her voice touches your soul.
What a wonderful reaction. You are a classy beautiful woman and a joy to watch. Be well. 👍😍
I enjoyed your comments on this performance. I really respect your insights and love for Whitney.
Another amazing reaction. Beautiful song and yes amazing tribute
Angelina had her 17th birthday on the 10th January jusr in few days ago.
Beyond beautiful !!!
Great reaction! In your spare time you should listen to the live version of this which she performed in Norway last summer. In that performance it was televised. There were technical issues with the first take so they asked her to perform it again, less then two minutes later. It was breathtaking! She wears the same dress as this video.
You
Yourself
You are amazing ✨✨✨😊
I love listening to your comments 🎁☀️💫
Thank you so much ✨💕✨
I love it when she gets older her voice. She 17 now pretty amazing I believe she hasn't even had heart break yet I she hasn't I hope she doesn't but yea amazing ✌️
I think Whitney’s soul smiling from where ever she is
Angelina called this, a tribute to Withney Houston.❤
I truly enjoy your reactions. I
This recording is in the Melrose Gallery an antique and furniture store in the west Hollywood area of Los Angeles
One word keeps coming to mind: inexplicable. Definitely transcendent as you said! To experience Angelina Jordan sing is to come into alignment with something perfect in the universe here on earth. I truly feel I have a blessed life just to be here with her at the same time. We are all blessed by her expressions of the human soul with such compassionate reflection. She's a healing force, a superstar who has redefined that word to now only be associated with her and her abilities.
Too far? Hehe, maybe, but these are the thoughts and feelings I still have after three years of wanting to hear her voice again and again, no matter the song or her age or how many times I've heard it. Every time is new again.
Great reaction but the sound is metallic and like in a jar. Hope you can do something about it.❤😎🇸🇪🇺🇦
Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song,& is why she can capture the true spirit of the original singer ❤💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤💙 Loved your reaction!!!
Thank you Britt!! Wonderful reaction and review of a new soon-to-be classic AJ rendition.
Thanks! I love your reactions to Ms. Jordan ( yes, in my mind she's Ms. Jordan), You so get that this girl is a force of nature and I cannot wait to hear what her album is going to sound like. You mentioned not knowing what's inside of her, what she's capable of...
I know It's going back to when she was 13... But THIS is what she's capable of - a karaoke cover of Etta James - I'd Rather Go Blind. I'd humbly recommend that you react to it. Thanks again

(edit - I hope that didn't sound belittling, I'd never, Angelina is a once-in-a-generation god-sent talent! But the video is literally a girl sitting on the couch singing KARAOKE! A performance that took my head off! As one put it, "Oh, so, you're gonna give me a Grammy performance sittin' on the couch...!!!!")
Thank you for sharing this and know that we share your adoration of Angelina's performance.
But girl - where are your headphones?? You're missing out! Treat yourself to the whole experience of her vocal splendour! 👌
Loved your reaction. Thanks
She has a husky smooth voice🌀
Take your time Britt. It's all about the journey. Looking forward to following you too.
i had heard her sing this at a younger age but like you said, she has matured, her breathy tone at the start is sublime, she has so much power and tone even with a breathy tone, what the heck.
I went to two of her concerts in Norway in July. I got to spend a little time with Angelina and her mother (Sara) after both concerts. It was magical especially her singing "I Have Nothing"
Record company who signed her not promoting her till she's finished school. Check her original song Million Miles. It's gorgeous and emotional. First tears listening to her. Not first chills. Lol.
The earliest recording of Angelina is of her singing Whitney Houston. Family film. She was I think in her crib. She was 1 1/2 years old. Angelina was born to sing for us. She knows it is her mission. It is like a fairy tale princess story.
Yes, it’s a tribute to Withney Houston, according to Angelina, herself. Not a cover.
