Hei, Thale! Thanks a lot for a beautiful reaction to this masterpiece by Angelina. I love to watch people's reaction when she starts to sing, it's as if they're never REALLY prepared for her voice 🙂 I'm also happy that you liked her rendition of the song. Again, it was her own arrangement. At age 16, or at any age really, it takes some serious guts to do what she did here IMO. -Taking one of the absolute classics from the King himself, and then flipping the song almost on it's head. Here she both starts and ends the song with the song's original bridge, and on top of that she slooooows the whole song down, making sure that you really hear the lyrics, as well as her beautiful voice. Many people have said that when they hear Angelina sing a song, it's as if they hear the song for the very first time, making them experience and understand what the song talks about. Slowing songs down is one of Angelina's absolute trademarks, as you will come to see when you continue down her catalogue. Btw, if you saw the thumbnail that popped up at the end of the video, it was from her version of I Have Nothing by Whitney Houston. She was pretty much exactly the same age as in THIS one (16,5) and the black and white recording took place in the exact same location as well. I mentioned in one of your previous reactions that she also performed that song on Allsang På Grensen when she was 16, and IMO, if you want to hear Angelina perform the song, then use her live version from said venue. It is one of her best live performances I think. Recorded only a few weeks before I got to see her live at Kurbadhagen in Sandefjord on July 10th 2022. It's easily my best musical experience to date 🙂 IF you choose to react to her live performance, then do well to keep in mind that what you hear is her second performance, back to back, due to technical difficulties during the first take (heavy wind). The producer gave her roughly 1 minute, pulled her closer to the main stage, and then she had to do it all over again. One of the most demanding songs to sing ever written. And first time live on a stage in more than 2 years. The last time was on America's Got Talent at age 13. Still she came out like it was nothing, no visible or audible nerves whatsoever. Another thing worth noting is that she landed from LA that same morning, so you have to imagine that she was suffering from jet lag as well. SUCH a pro at age 16. And WAY earlier than that as well obviously 😉 She's a definite one off in MY book. I'm looking forward to more reactions to Angelina, Thale. Take care! Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
Angelina's ability to make a classic song even better, is nothing short of genius. She will be having a Christmas concert, in Los Angeles, on December 14th. Please visit her official website for tickets.

AJ could peel the pain off the walls, but: Angelina Jordan's approach to music is a testament to the transformative power of interpretation in art. Her ability to take a classic hit and infuse it with her unique style showcases not only her technical precision but also her emotional intelligence as an artist. By altering the tempo and dynamics of a song, she creates a new space for expression, allowing the lyrics to resonate more deeply with the audience. This technique of slowing down the music often results in a more profound emotional delivery, as it gives each word more weight and space to be felt. Jordan's interpretations remind us that songs are not static works but living pieces of art that can be reimagined and experienced anew through the lens of the one and only AJ. Her performances are a powerful example of how this unique artist can honor the original while also leaving an indelible mark of her own.
There is only 1 category you can choose from: it's The Angelina Category! She is and will be alone in this category. ... That's her fate of uniqueness. ❤🎉
I graduated high school the year Elvis covered this Mark James song. E sang this with a little cry in his voice on the record, but really hyped it up in the stage performances along with a full orchestra and a choir. Angelina walks in with the Pricilla hair, Elvis black leather, a copy of the same guitar he played and with Rob playing piano while wearing the same jump suit his back up players wore. Just a guitar and a piano and HER arrangement. Sublime!
"Suspicious Minds" is a 1968 song written and first recorded by the American songwriter Mark James. After this recording failed commercially, it was recorded by Elvis Presley with the producer Chips Moman. Presley's version reached No.1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and it was his last hit record to reach No.1. (Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll, had a long and successful career that spanned from the 1950s to the 1970s. He recorded hundreds of songs and sold millions of records worldwide. His last two hits of his career were "Way Down" and "Moody Blue", both released in 1977, the year of his death. "Way Down" was a rockabilly song that reached number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the country charts. "Moody Blue" was a ballad that peaked at number 31 on the Hot 100 and number two on the country charts. Both songs showcased Elvis' distinctive voice and style, and were well received by his fans and critics.)
The baby and very little girl are Angelina's cousins - the preteen girl is Angelina's sister Juliette and the Piano Player is Rob Christie Director of the Republic Records Los Angeles Studio which is the record label that Angelina has been signed with when she was 14 years old.
AJ interpretation of "Suspicious Mind" is a MASTERPIECE and is so good or unusual as to be impossible to copy. (inimitable) Angelina Jordan's unique vocal talent has indeed captured the attention of audiences and professionals alike. Her ability to convey deep emotion through her performances, coupled with her distinctive tone, sets her apart in the music industry. It's not uncommon for artists to be regarded as inimitable but AJ is, much like the legendary Elvis Presley, whose style and voice have been emulated by many but never truly replicated. Jordan's artistry resonates in a similar way; her interpretations and vocal maturity at such a young age leave both listeners and seasoned voice coaches in awe. This phenomenon highlights the beauty of musical diversity, where each voice can be celebrated for its individuality and impact on the world of music.
Very beautiful reaction, thanks Thale. From the very first words, the warmth, tone, passion and sweetness that Angelina manages to instill in this mythical song are truly incredible, you just wish the song was much longer. Her phrasing, backed by her wonderful use of breath and her peculiar jazz tone, always fascinates me and gives me chills every time, I love this absolutely amazing, so personal rewrite of this iconic song, with so many Elvis tribute details. Now it's a different song, but it's also the same, it still has that harmony, but somehow (in a way only Angelina can process) it's even more emotional, it's slower, but it's so close to your soul flow that kidnaps you. 💛🧡❤
Rob christie is playing the piano: Angelina Jordan's rise to stardom has been a remarkable journey, and it seems that Rob Christie has played a pivotal role in her burgeoning career. As a two-time Grammy award-winning producer and record company executive, Christie's expertise in managing concerts and studio productions has provided a solid platform for Jordan's talents. His involvement in her performances, including the notable concerts in Las Vegas and the Alex Theater in Glendale, CA, has likely contributed to the polished and professional quality that fans have come to expect from Jordan's shows. With such a strong team behind her, Angelina Jordan's path to becoming a superstar appears to be well-charted, promising more enchanting performances in the future.
Have never listened to the lyrics in the Elvis version, but this version... i get it ❤ The arrangement suits the lyrics. The Elvis version felt to fast and like party vibe, where i felt the lyrics was off to that beat.
My interpretation of the symbolism of this music video: First, and foremost; Angelina Jordan at 16 is the epitome of a Storytelling ARTIST, and she has the ability to take us by the hand and lead us down an imaginary path that we visualize as reality. The remarkable fact is that we experience this in each of her performances. In this video we see her as a married woman in her mid to late 20s. As the video starts out, we see dishes, and it is a symbol of a home. As AJ sings the phrase “Were caught in a trap, I can’t walk out” we see 3 small children, this to me is a marriage where the children come first. If it were AJ by herself, she would not stay in a relation without trust. (CopyRight)
Uncle John, the "Big Hair" is a tribute to Pricilla Presley, the shiny boots, black leather jumpsuit & red Hagstrom hollow-body guitar is the same make & model Elvis used. The red jumpsuit of the pianist, Rob Christie, is the same as his band members wore. Angelina pays attention to details in her music videos, just sayin'!!!
Very enjoyable reaction to Angelina. If you wish to help increase her exposure, I suggest encouraging viewers to watch her original video and subscribe to her TH-cam, Instagram and TikTok accounts. Links in your description are desired. Also please recommend that fans purchase her music from services like Spotify and iTunes. Aspiring artists bring us joy, and deserve the same priority support as your own channel. Thanks for all you do. Peace and love.

She understands the voice as an instrument, and has mastered her craft. She sings in three dimensions.
