She has a very matured voice. However what makes her special is her ability to convey the emotion and meaning of the songs she sings. She makes grown men cry. Once someone who doesn’t understand how she is able to emote so well asked her how and what does she feel when she sings, Angelina said she goes to a different world, its very beautiful. That is the magic of Angelina. Don’t try to understand it. Many have tried ,all have failed. Just enjoy.❤❤❤❤❤
This song was written by Brian Lowry aka Baby Fuzz and he released his original a month after this version was leaked by someone who had access to the studio where AJ recorded this demo.
We must remember that Angelina was and is an artistic/vocalist genius.Having her grandma Mery who was also a child prodigy to mentor her artistically is a blessing for her development both professionally and personally.When asked about this recording Angelina said that it was just a demo.The beautiful young adult that she is today shows the family both protected and guided her incredibly well.
Angelina is 18 years old, and more mature than many 40 year old adults I know. Republic Records should put this song out for sale on a CD for the public to enjoy, not keep on a shelf somewhere
Enjoyed your reaction. I think you have to assume, though, that Angelina knew exactly what she was singing about, don't you? This song was not a cover. All the choices were hers alone and they were spot on. She may simply be an empath whose emotional understanding is not necessarily predicated on personal experience.
Yes, Barry, Angelina is an Empath. She knew what she was singing about, and her family didn't want this to be released because the subject was too mature for her age. The songwriter, Baby FuzZ, released his song only after Angelina recorded it first. She is 18 and probably has more say in what she will record and release.
Sir, at age 6, SIX, she saw an impoverished girl in rags, it was icy cold, rain poring down on the streets in a capital of the middle east. AJ imagined herself into this girl, to understand her situation, then she went to the girl and talked to her fluently, in Persian Farsi. Dear Andy Schnell said it all. AJ is an Empath. A pleasant weekend to you and yours. Elmar from Germany
Angelina the person is even more extraordinary than Angelina the singer, which is beyond incredible. I love the soul she put into this song and marvel at her ability to convey the angst of the person the song describes, but not for a second does it ever occur to me that those feelings in any way relate to this beautiful young child's life, family and experiences. Angelina is innocence and love packaged with that amazing voice. And as we all know, she doesn't do darkness.
Angelina has always chosen which songs she would perform. Her family had nothing to do with her choice of song. She began her on-stage career at age 7, by singing "Gloomy Sunday", a song which was banned in many countries during WWII as they feared it would increase the suicide rate. Angelina who is 18 now, was a rare child who understood mature emotions very well and could convey those emotions through her singing. Alma Deutscher, our modern day Mozart, has the same gift, putting mature emotions into her compositions at a very young age. For those who will stand by their belief, that a child can't convey emotions because they haven't lived through them yet, I say, there is an exception to every rule. The smallest act of kindness can have a huge positive impact. Angelina reminds us to spread LOVE. We need to call out anyone who promotes violence or stays silent when acts of violence are committed. Love is the only way to a peaceful world.
Wonderful comment Andy. There is a strong movement afoot in this country and around the world to encourage kindness and peace and love. Violence and enmity tear us apart and we are much stronger together working toward the same goals. That's what I had growing up as did my kids. And I want that for my grandkids.
I thought you might find it interesting that when translated Angelina Jordan Astar literally means messenger of God descends from the stars. Pretty appropriate name for this special human being, wouldn’t you say? How did her mother know to give her that name? Makes you think, doesn’t it?
Well said Andy. I think many adults are too eager to project their own mature sensibilities upon music performed by Angelina, particularly her early songs. Angelina of course was emotionally very precocious when she was younger but we must understand her interpretations from *HER* viewpoint. For example, when Angelina sang her legendary cover of Screamin’ Jay Hawkin’s “I Put a Spell on You” at nine years old, she said of the song: "It means love, desperate love! It's very special, it's almost voodoo! The original is very nice, and when I scream it is a desperate cry that everyone should love each another!" Yes, Angelina is an old soul but it is appropriate to consider *HER CHOICE* of these songs not with our 30-40-50 year old sensibilities, but with that of a sweet, precocious little nine year old. 💛🫶
May I just interject this, whilst I agree, she is a fantastic singer, she is still 10. Do you remember what you were like at 10? You say she has always picked her songs, and that may be true, but what kinds of songs has she been offered? And if she is picking these songs, without parental help, then do you really think that she fully understands how many sick, depraved individuals are out there, in the music industry alone. Young children, no matter what rainbows and fairy dust anyone wants to sprinkle over the world's garbage, are still children. These monsters just wait for someone like her. Unless someone is NOT allowing her to make adult decisions, until someone looks past her voice which we are ascribing words like old soul, empath, mature, and remembers she is still a 10 year old...she is doomed. Think of EVERY CHILD PRODIGY , what kind of life did they have when not protected? You say she just wants to promote love, good gracious, do you hear your self? She's 10. She has a whole lifetime ahead. I don't want her destroyed by the beast system she is moving into. If people really believe in her talent, then why rush. Or if you really want her music, then why can't her music be out there minus the photos. What you are hearing is a voice that needs to be equal to her biological age. What you will see, unless someone sees the real child behind the voice , is her peak, and land is a grave by 36.
Angelina knows very well what the content of the songs she listens to and peforms - she has been listening to adult-themed songs since she was very young - and understands the meaning of lyrics - As an example - When she was 10/11 she rewrote the Lyrics to Amy Winehouse's Back to Black and Rehab to make them more age appropriate for her to record. Angelina was no ordinary child.
I am 71 years young and have become more cynical as time has gone by, BUT, hand on heart, I can honestly say I haven’t heard anything by Angelina that doesn’t pull at my heart strings! I can’t choose a favourite, they are all amazing in their own way. Thank you for your honest opinions (and for not doing cartwheels 🤣).
Also at 10 years old Angelina recorded a cover of Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black. Some of the lyrics to that song are definitely not appropriate for a10 year with some drug and sex references. Angelina herself therefore wrote completely new lyrics for the song the day before the recording session. In fact she apparently was wrapping them up in the car on the way to the session. In the video you see her referring to the lyrics as they were so new.
Thanks for reacting to this song by Angelina. When you mentioned you enjoyed the dark sound of Shield I immediately thought of this song. It's pretty dark in tone and Angelina sings it with so much emotion. When I first heard it I was stunned into ten minutes of silence and thought, how can this be. Can I make another suggestion? The Rihanna song STAY. Angelina performs it with guitarist Ivan Mendez when I believe she was twelve years old. I'm enjoying your reactions to Angelina.
Angelina Jordan Astar when translated means messenger of God descends from the stars. Pretty appropriate, huh? How did her mother know to give her that name? Makes you think, doesn’t it?
No 'if's', 'and's', or 'but's', this song, had it been allowed to be released by her mom Sara, there's no doubt in my mind that it would have been a huge hit. At 10, which is how old she was, this performance is so sultry and adult like in it's presentation, that you think a fully adult woman is singing. There's no other singer, other than perhaps Judy Holiday, who could perform on this level at the age of 10, for it is truly mind boggling.
Great reaction, as usual. OK, the challenge….to find a song you like the same as, or maybe even better, than Sheila. Have a look for Lovin’ You, age 11, outdoor concert
This is one of my favourites but shes alot younger than some of the pictures, I think the oldest photo shes 12. Luckily her parents were very protective. They turned down Disney and everybody. They only signed with republic when shecwas15 onvthe understanding they could not push her out till she finished school which she did a year early because Angelina is also bright. That is how we gog her EP last year at 17. She says she has 100 songsvin her notebooks. So if you liked Shield one of her first. Of the EP try two vompletely different songs NOW IM THE FOOL ...vintage perfection and GOOD IN GOODBYES.
I was thinking her parents are pushing her out too far. Her voice is fantastic but I have heard that older, soul type voice before and they are all dead. She needs PROTECTION in the entertainment industry. I want her to be alive , to enjoy her life and to share her gift with all of us for a long time. But now, there are far too many freaks, child loving freaks, who love to be close to a 10 year old that can sing like this. May she be protected from the storm.
When AJ was 8 Disney flew their execs to Norway with blank chequebooks Mom said NO , AJ was signed by Republic Records aged 14 , her family are very protective and the contract stated that they could not promote her until she finished school , she also has full control of her material . She has just turned 18 and has over 200 vids on YT aged 18mths to present inc 13 originals , she has performed all over the World mainly for charity and raised over $20,000,000 The remaining members of Queen who are very protective about their songs gave her full copyright to her version of Bohemian Rhapsody when she was 13 Her influences are Billie Holiday , Sinatra , Elvis ,Whitney , Adele , Amy Winehouse . RR also built her a recording studio in her house in L.A

Thanks for the reaction to our angel Angelina..she’s simply the best..👍👏
Ty, no matter the background story, this song belongs to Angelina Jordan Astar.
Just enjoy the Angelina Jordan journey. You won’t regret it.
this young female is very very special !!!!!!!!!!!!
The understatement of the century!!
I just know you loved this one Ty. Have you ever heard a 10 year old make you believe she lived this hurt.
She is in charge and in control. She chooses the songs to sing.
Check out her original Love Don't Let Me Go.
Ty, she's good. She's a real artist.. even at ten... Maybe not top, to me that's subjective, but l highly recommend " My Funny Valentine", @ 16
With that voice, I'd swear she's been here before...
She has.
Young musical genius hitting you !!!
Great Reaction 👍🙏👣

It's crazy that Angelina is only 10 performing this.

Check out “Million Miles” live from one of Angelina’s live Norway concerts in the Summer of 2022. They are better than the studio version!

One of my favorite Angelina covers is Its a Man's World by James Brown. I hope you will like it I think she maybe 12 or 13?
Enjoyed your reaction
Great reaction, as usual. OK, the challenge….to find a song you like the same as, or maybe even better, than Sheila. Have a look for Lovin’ You, age 11, outdoor concert
She's 18 years old now and ready to rule the world wild bill
Here's another, you may consider. "Everytime we say Goodbye".
A lot of angels favorite awesome reaction thank you for our barefoot princess wild bill
Now you can see her full potential and that when she was 10 years old wild bill
What a difference a day makes and i put a spell on you are awesome wild bill
Please do Angelina’s cover of all I ask, it’s definitely one of my favorites
Fair point about the adult level song
Ok thanks man
It's said she will never sing this again because of reference to some suicidal lyrics towards the end. Never the less this was brilliant
This is one of my favourites but shes alot younger than some of the pictures, I think the oldest photo shes 12. Luckily her parents were very protective. They turned down Disney and everybody.

Yeah, I'm with you on not (over)reacting is the only way. Genuine is the only way.
Ty have you seen her doingsong, looking
Based on what I know about you, I think there's a very good chance that you'd REALLY enjoy Angelina's cover of "Stay" (Lauren Daigle)

10 years old
👍
The person who wrote this song asked AJ to work it. This is his version: th-cam.com/video/q5HsABS4OXQ/w-d-xo.html
Also why the hell hasn't she been picked by a record label yet???
She has... Republic Records.
When AJ was 8 Disney flew their execs to Norway with blank chequebooks Mom said NO , AJ was signed by Republic Records aged 14 , her family are very protective and the contract stated that they could not promote her until she finished school , she also has full control of her material .
She has just turned 18 and has over 200 vids on YT aged 18mths to present inc 13 originals , she has performed all over the World mainly for charity and raised over $20,000,000
The remaining members of Queen who are very protective about their songs gave her full copyright to her version of Bohemian Rhapsody when she was 13
Her influences are Billie Holiday , Sinatra , Elvis ,Whitney , Adele , Amy Winehouse .
RR also built her a recording studio in her house in L.A
thank you@@sip4119
Please react to Brian McKnight s "Nobody". The video is his wedding. It is one of the most well written songs in opinion.
Listen to Elvis Presley live concert just pretend
It should be a woman singing
Why?
