From James Thiel (@summaEngineer): @A-AronReacts The story behind this BAD VALENTINE video . . . The performance on my channel is the only known performance of BAD VALENTINE with Toby Gad. It was performed at the HOTEL CAFE, an apparently well known Club in LA, where Toby was a Guest of Honor, playing a set of 6-10 of his most well known songs. Angelina's participation was unannounced, but she stepped up on stage, where she sang IF I WERE A BOY, the 2nd to last song of Toby's set. BAD VALENTINE was the surprise Final Performance of the Night, an UNRELEASED ANGELINA JORDAN / TOBY GAD ORIGINAL song, to be released August/September. A number of cell phone recordings of the performance made their way onto YT, but the LIVE STREAM from the HOTEL CAFE of the performance (superior AUDIO and VIDEO) was kept from YT... in fact, Toby Gad had the Live Stream removed from YT on at least 2 occasions. Although Toby chose to debut the song, he still did not want it "out" to any great extent, other than cell phone footage, which he knew he could not control. I had a copy of the Live Stream of both songs, and I had published the first half - IF I WERE A BOY - after Toby had said that he didn't mind me doing so. But, I was holding on to BAD VALENTINE, because I HAD ASKED TOBY if I could publish it and he asked me Not to do so... so I didn't, but I did keep asking, because the cat was out of the bag and BAD VALENTINE was still getting around. Finally, after a number of Weeks, I asked Toby and he finally Allowed Me to Publish BAD VALENTINE, the high-quality Audio and Video version that we all enjoyed in your Reaction. Like you, I do believe this Performance of BAD VALENTINE is a Landmark Performance - it IS a true piece of ART. Jim
I knew you would be blown away by this. Yes, you can hear all those other singers in there, but she is Angelina Jordan, period. No one like her, no texture and phrasing and “fry+vibrato” and emotion and tone and fire like the incomparable Angelina Jordan! This is a monumental performance.
Well said Chris.... and well done Aron!!! Just like you have devoted so much time to Angelina Chris, promoting her and giving us all so many great video's and commentaries, I thing Aron is doing a great job as well, he is putting in a lot of time and effort on this channel promoting our Wonderful Angel, think he is the next you...😁😁😁😁. Has a lot to catch up on for sure but love what he is doing. Nice to see you here and appreciate a true fan. Think he may make a great guest on "Wrapped in a Warm Blanket" pretty soon.
@@CarlD70oh yeah he would be a great guest! They could show him some stuff he hasn’t seen yet, and we get to watch him melt down! In the best way, of course!
I was 54 when when I found this young lady , I'm now 64 and she's the one who reignited my interest in music ! From a little seven year old girl to now ! The number of songs she's reinvented (that I didn't care for) and made them what they should have been is an amazing measure of her abilities and inherit talent !
SUSPICIOUS MINDS ? Is that one High-up on your List of Reinventions ? I just sent Aaron a request that he look at SUSPICIOUS MINDS, both the OFFICIAL VIDEO at age 16 and her version from VEGAS, where she sang the Song on the same Stage as Elvis. What do you think of that idea ? A DOUBLE FEATURE of SUSPICIOUS MINDS ! 😇Jim
In this piece She sounds like a baritone sax done with a gravely growl (no quack) She can do anything I've ever heard any vocalist do, with the possible exception of Anita Baker. IIt amazes me now She blows that power with no obvious effort. If there is a god who gives the world gifts, she is one of them. There's just no other explanation for it.
Signature voice, not a thousand different voices. Angelina Jordan's unique vocal quality indeed sets her apart in the music industry. Her ability to convey deep emotions and tell a story through her singing is what gives her that distinctive signature sound. This sound is instantly recognizable to her fans, who can identify her voice from just the first few notes of a song. It's a testament to her skill and the connection she has forged with her audience. Her voice carries a blend of soulfulness and maturity that belies her young age, making her performances unforgettable and her style inimitable. This singularity in the music world is what often leads to a lasting legacy and inspires countless aspiring artists. There is only one Angelina Jordan, and only one signature storytelling voice unlike anyone else on the face of the earth, not a thousand different voices, if that were true, she would not have a signature sound. Having a signature sound means as soon as she sings the first few notes you know it is AJ.
Do I agree with your on Angelina will be followed by many new youngsters (looking forward to this). You already see some covering Angelina versions of her covers. And top of this, Angelina looks like this was without an effort and comes out just naturally from her.
This is pure Billie Holiday style jazz, with the 'sass' that Amy Winehouse was famous for and the essence of Janis Joplin as well. Only Angelina could incorporate the elements of these three unique superstar singers with her own personal facets of musicality to round out a totally mind boggling performance like this.
Toby Gad gave James Thiel permission to post this on his TH-cam channel prior to the release of the song! It’s not on her channel because it has not been officially released! Angelina opens with sass, reminds me of Diamond, Lovin You, and It’s A Man’s World! She just showcased the audience her vocal abilities effortlessly! The best story teller of this generation period! 🇳🇴🇺🇸 Toby gave a big clue when introducing the song-when he said this is your worst valentine-By the way she was a surprise at this event! Angelina stated in a recent interview in Norway that new material will be coming out in September and more concerts are upcoming! She also performed at a private event in Spain after her London performances!
She is a living legend and she’s only getting started. She has worked very hard to get here and she has finally broken through to the stratosphere where she belongs. When she was eight years old I could already tell she was going to become a superstar. She had the desire and the talent at that age. And I predicted that one day she would be in that “Jazz Hall of Fame” with Sinatra and those who broke the mold of what singing could be. I felt it in my bones and have been following her path for 8 years now. And what a rude it has been. She got me through Covid and many other obstacles but the pleasure has been all mine. Thank you Angelina. I love you!!!❤️💕
They wrote this together and they’ve been working for three months on originals. Angel Adair and I attended Hotel Café in Hollywood on the 19th June. The following night we attended Toby‘s concert at the Virbrato Jazz club. Sold Out! She is sizzling and ready to explode ❗️😇🌺
@@fredmars7689 Angelina performed Bad Valentine on May 16. We know that her family was there because her Grandma Mery posted a cellphone recording of Bad Valentine. No angels were actually at the show, I don't believe. However, a few angels (I know of myself, Bernie Scott, Douglas Switzer and Ken Gehl) were watching a livestream of this performance IN REAL TIME the night of May 16. The above recording was made from the taped livestream, which was available for only 24 hours after the performance.
Angelina puts great thought into her opening lines. She wants to stun us with an amazing first few notes that come with no warm up, no build up. Think of Suspicious Minds, I Put a Spell on You, Bohemian Rhapsody, Diamond, so many others-and now Bad Valentine. That first line startles us and freezes us, and we’re hooked for the whole ride every time. (The rest of the song isn’t bad, either.) We told you she’s the best-and she’s the best across multiple genres.
Angelina gave it her ALL because she understood how important this was for her career. She is perfection. Keep in mind that this was a LIVE performance👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️
Just slap this take on the mainstream and away you go--no need for a studio. Best live singer I have ever heard and it aint even close after this performance.
Angelina doesn’t go into “beast mode” often. This song, I Put a Spell on You, and It’s a Man’s World, are the three that come to mind. Doesn’t happen often, but when it does, the world takes notice!
Does feeling good and loving you count as beast mode? Also, if he wants to hear something beautiful, how about cry me a river or speak softly, my love..
@@MikeSmith-cl4ix Feeling Good comes close! Those two performances when she was 10 are classic! Loving You is powerful, too. I mean, how can you choose favorites? It’s just, as Aaron, said, those three I mentioned, Angelina is just “nasty”! You know what I mean!
Remember when she changed the last note on Million Miles at Kongsberg or even surprised us with Mount Everest, wasn't the whole song but she too beasted it.
Need to remember Angelina is 18 and her voice will continue to mature for many more years. Scary and exciting. We are truly blessed to have Angelina in our lives. She has dedicated her life to her music and her message of kindness and love. We can't thank her family enough for the choices they have made, raising Angelina and Juliette.
This could be the big break we've been waiting for. It just needs to be heard by the masses by getting her to sing it on a few morning or late-night talk shows, then the rest will be history.
Listening to you listen to Angelina is a huge treat for me. Because you so accurately verbalize what i'm feeling! I too feel so proud like she's my daughter. i look forward to more of you! thanks
The studio versions are not always better than her live performances. She feeds on the audience and always has. And, she doesn't need orchestras to be successful.
It would be great if they could remix this live performance for the release. As it stands her voice is too far back and nearly covered by the instrumentation at times.
This is a powerful message for all who are not in Love with her with all enthusiasm and dedication. She is the most powerful Way of love and happiness 💞 we need all in the whole world. The Angel 😇 awakes ❤🎉. We will see more in a few months 🙏 Let's go Angelina 🎉
I agree that this is her 18-year-old “I Put a Spell on You” but as an original. If marketed well, this should be her breakout song. Now go listen to “Now I’m The Fool“ to see if you think it’s the flipside of “Bad Valentine.“ I do.
We love her very much and we are proud to say that. But, I've always felt and I share my thoughts with other angels, that musicians go absolutely bonkers when they listen to her because they cannot believe what she is doing artistically. She's on the highway and has been for a while but she hasn't switched lanes into the express lanes yet. I think you're right. THIS IS IT. The official turning point from being great to becoming a living legend at less than 20 years old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been following Angelina for eight years and I feel like a proud Mama. She is definitely the very best at what she does and I only hope others are smart enough to recognize that. I wish Ole Blue Eyes was still around to hear her. I predicted eight years ago that she was going to be as big as he was. My dream is coming true!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
A fan once commented a thank you to Rob Christie, for mentoring Angelina. He commented that he felt it might be the other way around. She brings out the best in all the musicians she works with.
I don’t know. I’m only guessing. But I have a feeling that lyrically, this is almost all Angelina. I know it was co- written with Toby, but those lyrics have Angelina written all over them.
Her influences are now blended in together making it her special and only unique sound. This is what we've been all waiting for. It's not the final outcome but the beginning of many more to blow our socks off. Thank you once again for a great reaction and support of her work.
There are dozens of foundational songs she has done between the ages 10 and 14 that have led her to this point, you have dozens more that are as equally as impressive as this one, please listen to more of her older stuff.😊
Great comments Aron. Loved the statement of "this" being that "Moment In Time" for our Barefoot Princess and indeed AJ sung that same tune so awesomely at Vegas Westgate (like all 38 performances there). 🌹 Cheers 🥂
😁😁😁 Me too. There is a certain set of videos that are like hidden land mines - you know they pack a Wallop, and you know the Reactor HAS NO IDEA ! I suspect IT'S A MAN'S WORLD is on your list too 😉 😇Jim
Could easily be the tune for her man. Idol potential. In tune with the times for sure. Not much out there where it puts itself. In style, nor lyrics. Incredibly well done perspective. ❤. Godly skills. Can't wait. Hope we get a daring and big music video for it too.
I had a similar feeling when you talked about how this reminded you of "I Put a Spell on You". What happens when that little girl full of sass grows up? It turns into this.... big girl attitude!!! Just wow!!!
Toby Gad, and AJ have written a new song!**** The collaboration between Toby Gad and Angelina Jordan has sparked excitement with the announcement of their new original song "Bad Valentine." The anticipation for its release is high, especially after their recent performance at the Hotel Cafe. While the exact release date has not been officially announced, fans eagerly await the new material, which promises to showcase Jordan's unique vocal talents alongside Gad's renowned songwriting skills. Their previous work together, coupled with Jordan's powerful rendition of "If I Were a Boy," suggests that "Bad Valentine" will be another significant addition to her growing repertoire. The music community is abuzz with speculation and enthusiasm for this upcoming release.
Larry, you can accurately add to you message that BAD VALENTINE will NOT be the only Angelina / Toby Original pending possible August / Likely September release - we don't know how many, but there are more coming, Beyond BAD VALENTINE. 😇Jim
Angelina è arrivata dal cielo, canta come in paradiso.E' originale ,unica con la voce speciale con colori dell'iride,armonie malinconicamente stupende che Mozart applaudirebbe, sfumature irripetibili: un miracolo della natura.Tutti urlano , Angelina canta.tutti fanno scenografia,Angelina accarezza l'anima di ognuno.Che Dio salvi la regina del canto!!!
Welcome to the club ! I found Angekina after Norway got talent and I felt in love. I listen to her everyday ! Youn still miss many wonderful performances. When she starts singing she becomes "old and wise" then when stops she becomes again a shy18 year old !! You can see this in all her performances . I'd recommend I'd rather go blind, Natural woman, Love is a game, My funny Valentine and so on and on..... ALL ARE MIND BLOWING!!! No matter at what age ! Her voice is like no other ! I not think she needs to sing like any other.
A-Aron..... Fabulous reaction... I would love to hear your reaction to her version of My Funny Valentine from her Las Vegas concert on 2/29/2024. She goes back to her full 100% Jazz roots. To me it's right up there with Bad Valentine.
Bad Valentine is at my Top 77 list of Angelina performances. I wonder how you will react to her 6 songs on the EP Old Enough. To me she is already a living legend at 18 years old. Her vocal gymnastics makes me ears very happy EVERY day. Thank you for your dedicated AJ journey.
After watching several people comment on this performance of Angelina you gave in my opinion the best reaction to what Angelina has today become a high vocal artist and who will make history in the world of music thank you for this moving reaction.
A-Aron… great reaction. Although I couldn’t tell if you really liked it. 😉. Haha… many of us Angels feel the same as you. That this will be the song that breaks her through to the masses. I am super excited to see all the magic that comes out of her collab with Toby Gad. It is going to be epic.
Brother she already put out an albumn earlier this year of all her own and it's awesome! Years ago I said "Next level event" and "She is" but Angelina is not just "Masterclass" Angelina is "World changer" and this one is just in time!
Actually, I talked about her being a world changer in my reaction to Unchained Melody at the Nobel peace concert which I just finished editing like 5 mins ago. Fyi, it will be available to members anywhere from 5 mins from now to a couple days from now (depending on membership level) and will be public in about a week
Yes a magical voice easily recognizable and amazing sound, but you did not comment on how brilliant and complex these lyrics are. It takes many times listening to them to grasp the full meaning and twist to this song. As wonderful and amazing her voice is I think her lyric writing has not been given enough credit, it's brilliant.
Correct you are Robert. Many see the song for the Title and the first number of lines, but like many stories, the beginning is only fully understood with the context gained later in the story. This song is all about Authenticity, which is WHY it is Quintessential 'ANGELINA' - there is no Negativity here, just In-Your-FACE Truth. Angelina and her family Value Truth and Authenticity, and they often celebrate their "flaws and faults", putting out the craziest photos and videos that you would normally expect someone to not want the public to see. BAD VALENTINE is about a Person that doesn't have the heart to break up with someone, but instead uses the tried and true method of trying to get them to leave the relationship themselves by treating them badly, or in this case, treating them like a BAD VALENTINE would. But, it is a revolving door situation, because no matter how many signals the BAD VALENTINE tries to give, the FOOL takes each in stride, and so-on and so-forth the story goes. This song is not about a Bad Axx Chick, getting even with dudes, being super sassy; although that IS the delivery, the story underlying is quite different. 😇Jim
Assuming most of the lyrics are hers, and I think they are, it describes perfectly her position in life right now. The song is not directed at just one person, but at any boy who wants to make her his valentine. They would be hanging on for dear life because she is totally dedicated to making music right now and has no time for a relationship. The passion and devotion she has for her art is something no boy could equal and she to telling them that. It is remarkable how focused she must be, she has the same hormones flowing through her body, the same as any other 18 year old.
You can't say that you weren't forewarned. Between Toby and Republic Records, it looks like Angelina is going to have a lot of good things coming up shortly. And the world is as ready as its every going to be,
Really, an exceptional reaction and very appreciated. The instrumentation/production for "Bad Valentine" were just beautiful. There are so many 'supers' to this pre-release, a jazzy song and production that was meant for Angelina. Her voice, as usual, just amazing, her belting here was otherworldly! This bodes well for the year, for her fans, for anyone who loves good music.
I cannot wait to hear the production - - I am almost nervous for it, as it has Big Shoes to fill after this performance. Boz, I cannot remember for sure, but did you go to Portsmouth or Vegas ? 😇Jim
@@summaEngineer Unfortunately, neither. At age 83 I didn't trust myself physically to handle the trip, north or west, being by myself, combining all that with simply being too emotionally invested in Angelina. It's downright scary, and impossible to explain to anyone not already caught up in her amazing aura. But anyway, no, I haven't been to either but still have hope.
About 7 months after Angelina's wonderful performance on America's Got Talent - The Champions aired in early 2014, Angelina's uncle, her manager, forged a deal with Republic Records for Angelina. It is thought that the contract included a pause on her promotion until she had finished school, which she did, I understand, earlier this year. Accordingly, we have seen much more publicity lately than in the preceding years and arrangements for her to sing at high-visibility events, such as the award ceremony for the 2023 football stars, the concert for he Nobel Peace Prize winner, a concert in New Hampshire, two concerts in Las Vegas, several singles, songs in two films, and an EP, all in the last year. They are ramping up. Also, they built Angie her own studio, and she and her entourage now travel on a private jet.
Have been anxiously awaiting for your reaction to this masterpiece, and you did not disappoint. Now u know why we were pressuring u to reaction to her latest performances. 🎉❤😂
I believe as you do, about Angelina Jordan and "Bad Valentine". Sometimes I feel like I'm stepping on a roller coaster, and I'm scared of roller coasters! lol BTW, James Thiel, who works on these amazing productions of Angelina's live performances, has less than 3K subscribers. Let's fix that, folks!
Amy Winehouse, Adele, Michael Jackson -- the influences are all here, put together and perfected by AJ. The vocal fry sustained from chest voice into mixed voice with full vibrato -- frybrato -- is essentially continuous here. This is signature AJ.
No singer could pull this of like AJ absolutely fantastic aron your face when she started was pure gold the shock took you by surprise honestly she is the best out there by a mile and aron i got to see her live Portsmouth a real treat you have to see her live ❤
I hope you are right, but I don't believe it will be big as much as we are anticipating. No justice for great talent today. She is popular believe me, just not the mega superstar popular.
Great reaction to an amazing performance! I am even more amazed at how unique the story in this song is. While I’m far, far from an expert on songs, I have never in my 69 years heard a “bad love” song sung from that perspective! It even take a rhyme we’ve all heard a thousand times since we were kids, “roses are red, violets are blue,“ and takes it in a whole different direction… pure genius!!!
A-Aron is hugely respectful and appreciative Angel, and he makes NO comparisons to other singers. If you think differently, point me to one. He makes references to INFLUENCES, which are very different. When you compare you might say that one is better than the other or not as good. In contrast, when referring to influences there is no such element. Angelina discussed in her documentary on influences she had from Billie Holiday to Adele. Please let intelligent, insightful and respectful reactors like A-Aron to speak freely. Peace
@@kevingood4644 Thanks for your response. I checked that timing when he says "influenced by Adele". Not "copying", nor "as good as" or any other disrespecting phrase. Every single artist, including GOATs like Leonardo DaVinci were influenced by previous greats. Beethoven, which is considered by many as the incomparable greatest classical composer ever, was influenced by Haydn and Mozart. If you accept that talking about influence is different than comparing, you will find that A-Aron never compares or otherwise disrespects Angelina.
There was this little story of little Angelina about stepping on a mouse trap (glue) with her bare feet en route to the stage. Today, she is still committed to 'carry the crown' for the 'princess of ruins'. This performance is an invitation to Toby's show, not hers. That's probably why she has shoes on - social manners.
Thank you a--aron she can be very sultry don't forget feeling good and still holding out for you at 10 years old both are mind-blowing and life changing wild bill

@@MikeSmith-cl4ix Feeling Good comes close! Those two performances when she was 10 are classic! Loving You is powerful, too. I mean, how can you choose favorites? It’s just, as Aaron, said, those three I mentioned, Angelina is just “nasty”! You know what I mean!
@adairmartin Oh yeah, those ones you mentioned are great. It's a man's world is one of my all-time favorites.
Also "Lovin' You" at Prøysenfestivalen at age 11 should be counted I think 🙂
Remember when she changed the last note on Million Miles at Kongsberg or even surprised us with Mount Everest, wasn't the whole song but she too beasted it.
Need to remember Angelina is 18 and her voice will continue to mature for many more years. Scary and exciting.
We are truly blessed to have Angelina in our lives. She has dedicated her life to her music and her message of kindness and love. We can't thank her family enough for the choices they have made, raising Angelina and Juliette.
Yes Aron 👍👍🍀🩵👣🩵🍀🩵👣❤️❤️❤️
This could be the big break we've been waiting for. It just needs to be heard by the masses by getting her to sing it on a few morning or late-night talk shows, then the rest will be history.
This song was written with her for her by Toby.💜
Listening to you listen to Angelina is a huge treat for me. Because you so accurately verbalize what i'm feeling! I too feel so proud like she's my daughter. i look forward to more of you! thanks
Thanks so much...I feel honored to be on this journey and joined by such amazing people
Now just imagine what the studio version of this song is going to look and sound like. I can’t wait for the official release of this performance.
The studio versions are not always better than her live performances. She feeds on the audience and always has. And, she doesn't need orchestras to be successful.
It would be great if they could remix this live performance for the release. As it stands her voice is too far back and nearly covered by the instrumentation at times.
This is a powerful message for all who are not in Love with her with all enthusiasm and dedication. She is the most powerful Way of love and happiness 💞 we need all in the whole world. The Angel 😇 awakes ❤🎉. We will see more in a few months 🙏
Let's go Angelina 🎉
I agree that this is her 18-year-old “I Put a Spell on You” but as an original. If marketed well, this should be her breakout song.
Now go listen to “Now I’m The Fool“ to see if you think it’s the flipside of “Bad Valentine.“ I do.
Such a beautiful masterpiece! It gives me vibes similar to BB King… it must be the blues vibe.
We love her very much and we are proud to say that. But, I've always felt and I share my thoughts with other angels, that musicians go absolutely bonkers when they listen to her because they cannot believe what she is doing artistically. She's on the highway and has been for a while but she hasn't switched lanes into the express lanes yet. I think you're right. THIS IS IT. The official turning point from being great to becoming a living legend at less than 20 years old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best reaction ⭐️
History in the making. I agree 💯 What an honour to be here and listen to a legend before most of the rest of the world 🤗🙏
Guest for WIAWB ? :)
Love your reaction! We love our bare foot princess and are so proud of her! ✨🇨🇦✨
I can see so many people hearing this (and Angelina) for the first time, watching the Grammys and marveling at her "overnight" success. 😂😂
I have been following Angelina for eight years and I feel like a proud Mama. She is definitely the very best at what she does and I only hope others are smart enough to recognize that. I wish Ole Blue Eyes was still around to hear her. I predicted eight years ago that she was going to be as big as he was. My dream is coming true!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love all your reactions ❤😊
She is the best. Glad you jumped ahead so you can see how amazing Anjelina Jordan is. You will love 7th Heaven.
AB SO LUTE LY. Aaron will Absolutely LOVE the JAZZY ' 7th HEAVEN ' - an ANGELINA JORDAN original, it must be said 😇Jim
A fan once commented a thank you to Rob Christie, for mentoring Angelina. He commented that he felt it might be the other way around. She brings out the best in all the musicians she works with.
Maybe you've reacted to her cover of A Million Years Ago when she was 12, I can't remember. That is her best Adele song. Really shows her depth .
Not yet
I don’t know. I’m only guessing. But I have a feeling that lyrically, this is almost all Angelina. I know it was co- written with Toby, but those lyrics have Angelina written all over them.
Saint James Infirmary, here we come. Just sort of reminds me of that. LOL. Cab Calloway or Hugh Laurie..
Angelina performs this epic original with so much ease and without effort it's scary to think how much more is in this young lady. ❤❤❤❤👣
In my opinion Toby and Angelina will be the next Burt Bacharach and Dionne Warwick.
Her influences are now blended in together making it her special and only unique sound. This is what we've been all waiting for. It's not the final outcome but the beginning of many more to blow our socks off. Thank you once again for a great reaction and support of her work.
There are dozens of foundational songs she has done between the ages 10 and 14 that have led her to this point, you have dozens more that are as equally as impressive as this one, please listen to more of her older stuff.😊
Fantastic heartfelt review Aron. I’m with you on everything you said. Well done and keep up the style and the good work👍🏻.
Amazing ❤❤
First time I heard the first few words I thought of Amy immediately. You are right. Its already a classic
Amy Winehouse would have liked this one, you nailed it. Thanks for your well thought reaction.👍
Great comments Aron. Loved the statement of "this" being that "Moment In Time" for our Barefoot Princess and indeed AJ sung that same tune so awesomely at Vegas Westgate (like all 38 performances there). 🌹 Cheers 🥂
Thanks a lot for your reaction to our angel Angelina…she’s simply the best..👍👏
Letsgoto EP
This is another of Angelina’s performances I especially look forward to reactors encountering, and you didn’t disappoint. Love your reaction. 🎼🖤🎶
😁😁😁 Me too. There is a certain set of videos that are like hidden land mines - you know they pack a Wallop, and you know the Reactor HAS NO IDEA ! I suspect IT'S A MAN'S WORLD is on your list too 😉 😇Jim
I've been warned about that so I MUST do it soon
That's is the stage where Adele was discovered many moons ago. Now it's Angelina's turn. 0 = )
❤️❤️❤️❤️👣 So many of us hope you are right about where things go from here.
Could easily be the tune for her man. Idol potential. In tune with the times for sure. Not much out there where it puts itself. In style, nor lyrics. Incredibly well done perspective. ❤. Godly skills. Can't wait. Hope we get a daring and big music video for it too.
I agree, this is the one
🤟💕call it gritty.
I had a similar feeling when you talked about how this reminded you of "I Put a Spell on You". What happens when that little girl full of sass grows up? It turns into this.... big girl attitude!!! Just wow!!!
Big Girl Attitude 😃😆 I like that - I might use that line in the future when it comes to Angelina. 😁 THANKS ! 😇Jim
@@summaEngineer Thanks Jim! Keep up the great work with those videos! 🪽
Now that you are here AAron you should check out Angelina 10 years in the making.
Toby Gad, and AJ have written a new song!****
The collaboration between Toby Gad and Angelina Jordan has sparked excitement with the announcement of their new original song "Bad Valentine." The anticipation for its release is high, especially after their recent performance at the Hotel Cafe. While the exact release date has not been officially announced, fans eagerly await the new material, which promises to showcase Jordan's unique vocal talents alongside Gad's renowned songwriting skills. Their previous work together, coupled with Jordan's powerful rendition of "If I Were a Boy," suggests that "Bad Valentine" will be another significant addition to her growing repertoire. The music community is abuzz with speculation and enthusiasm for this upcoming release.
Larry, you can accurately add to you message that BAD VALENTINE will NOT be the only Angelina / Toby Original pending possible August / Likely September release - we don't know how many, but there are more coming, Beyond BAD VALENTINE. 😇Jim
Great reaction A-Aron. 👍🏻❤️
I am paraphrasing reactor Polo Reacts here. “This girl definitely puts hot sauce on her wings”.
Well sir, as usual you knocked it out of the park.
Thank you kindly!
Angelina è arrivata dal cielo, canta come in paradiso.E' originale ,unica con la voce speciale con colori dell'iride,armonie malinconicamente stupende che Mozart applaudirebbe, sfumature irripetibili: un miracolo della natura.Tutti urlano , Angelina canta.tutti fanno scenografia,Angelina accarezza l'anima di ognuno.Che Dio salvi la regina del canto!!!
❤❤❤
Welcome to the club ! I found Angekina after Norway got talent and I felt in love. I listen to her everyday ! Youn still miss many wonderful performances. When she starts singing she becomes "old and wise" then when stops she becomes again a shy18 year old !! You can see this in all her performances . I'd recommend I'd rather go blind, Natural woman, Love is a game, My funny Valentine and so on and on..... ALL ARE MIND BLOWING!!! No matter at what age ! Her voice is like no other ! I not think she needs to sing like any other.
A-Aron..... Fabulous reaction... I would love to hear your reaction to her version of My Funny Valentine from her Las Vegas concert on 2/29/2024. She goes back to her full 100% Jazz roots. To me it's right up there with Bad Valentine.
Bad Valentine is at my Top 77 list of Angelina performances. I wonder how you will react to her 6 songs on the EP Old Enough. To me she is already a living legend at 18 years old. Her vocal gymnastics makes me ears very happy EVERY day. Thank you for your dedicated AJ journey.
After watching several people comment on this performance of Angelina you gave in my opinion the best reaction to what Angelina has today become a high vocal artist and who will make history in the world of music thank you for this moving reaction.
A-Aron… great reaction. Although I couldn’t tell if you really liked it. 😉. Haha… many of us Angels feel the same as you. That this will be the song that breaks her through to the masses. I am super excited to see all the magic that comes out of her collab with Toby Gad. It is going to be epic.
Aron
I love your AJ' reactions
Been waiting to see your reaction to this;)
Brother she already put out an albumn earlier this year of all her own and it's awesome! Years ago I said "Next level event" and "She is" but Angelina is not just "Masterclass" Angelina is "World changer" and this one is just in time!
Actually, I talked about her being a world changer in my reaction to Unchained Melody at the Nobel peace concert which I just finished editing like 5 mins ago. Fyi, it will be available to members anywhere from 5 mins from now to a couple days from now (depending on membership level) and will be public in about a week
@@A-AronReacts Nice! over the years I found a few top reactors and your a new fav! thanks and great work.
@@tothiusbentheum2071thanks so much. I hope I can continue to satisfy angels
Lets hope the republic marketing get behind this in a big way get her on the Tv circuit
Yes a magical voice easily recognizable and amazing sound, but you did not comment on how brilliant and complex these lyrics are. It takes many times listening to them to grasp the full meaning and twist to this song. As wonderful and amazing her voice is I think her lyric writing has not been given enough credit, it's brilliant.
Correct you are Robert.
Many see the song for the Title and the first number of lines, but like many stories, the beginning is only fully understood with the context gained later in the story. This song is all about Authenticity, which is WHY it is Quintessential 'ANGELINA' - there is no Negativity here, just In-Your-FACE Truth. Angelina and her family Value Truth and Authenticity, and they often celebrate their "flaws and faults", putting out the craziest photos and videos that you would normally expect someone to not want the public to see. BAD VALENTINE is about a Person that doesn't have the heart to break up with someone, but instead uses the tried and true method of trying to get them to leave the relationship themselves by treating them badly, or in this case, treating them like a BAD VALENTINE would. But, it is a revolving door situation, because no matter how many signals the BAD VALENTINE tries to give, the FOOL takes each in stride, and so-on and so-forth the story goes. This song is not about a Bad Axx Chick, getting even with dudes, being super sassy; although that IS the delivery, the story underlying is quite different. 😇Jim
WE COULD HAVE HAD IT ALL bits in this instrumental too.
❤❤❤🥰
Assuming most of the lyrics are hers, and I think they are, it describes perfectly her position in life right now. The song is not directed at just one person, but at any boy who wants to make her his valentine. They would be hanging on for dear life because she is totally dedicated to making music right now and has no time for a relationship. The passion and devotion she has for her art is something no boy could equal and she to telling them that. It is remarkable how focused she must be, she has the same hormones flowing through her body, the same as any other 18 year old.
Listen to some of her concert performances when she was 12 with The Royal Norwegian Staff Band . Some of her greatest live performances. 😎
You can't say that you weren't forewarned. Between Toby and Republic Records, it looks like Angelina is going to have a lot of good things coming up shortly. And the world is as ready as its every going to be,
Really, an exceptional reaction and very appreciated. The instrumentation/production for "Bad Valentine" were just beautiful. There are so many 'supers' to this pre-release, a jazzy song and production that was meant for Angelina. Her voice, as usual, just amazing, her belting here was otherworldly! This bodes well for the year, for her fans, for anyone who loves good music.
I cannot wait to hear the production - - I am almost nervous for it, as it has Big Shoes to fill after this performance.
Boz, I cannot remember for sure, but did you go to Portsmouth or Vegas ? 😇Jim
@@summaEngineer Unfortunately, neither. At age 83 I didn't trust myself physically to handle the trip, north or west, being by myself, combining all that with simply being too emotionally invested in Angelina. It's downright scary, and impossible to explain to anyone not already caught up in her amazing aura. But anyway, no, I haven't been to either but still have hope.
We call it Angelina in beast mode brudda 😅❤
About 7 months after Angelina's wonderful performance on America's Got Talent - The Champions aired in early 2014, Angelina's uncle, her manager, forged a deal with Republic Records for Angelina. It is thought that the contract included a pause on her promotion until she had finished school, which she did, I understand, earlier this year. Accordingly, we have seen much more publicity lately than in the preceding years and arrangements for her to sing at high-visibility events, such as the award ceremony for the 2023 football stars, the concert for he Nobel Peace Prize winner, a concert in New Hampshire, two concerts in Las Vegas, several singles, songs in two films, and an EP, all in the last year. They are ramping up. Also, they built Angie her own studio, and she and her entourage now travel on a private jet.
Have been anxiously awaiting for your reaction to this masterpiece, and you did not disappoint. Now u know why we were pressuring u to reaction to her latest performances. 🎉❤😂
Now I want to see him do I'd Rather Go Blind and my favorite hit that never happened, I'm Still Holding Out For You.
🥰
I believe as you do, about Angelina Jordan and "Bad Valentine". Sometimes I feel like I'm stepping on a roller coaster, and I'm scared of roller coasters! lol BTW, James Thiel, who works on these amazing productions of Angelina's live performances, has less than 3K subscribers. Let's fix that, folks!
Pray to the bleeping Amen....I will help! I just reacted to his Unchained Melody and let's just say... I'm with you and will start promoting him!
Amy Winehouse, Adele, Michael Jackson -- the influences are all here, put together and perfected by AJ. The vocal fry sustained from chest voice into mixed voice with full vibrato -- frybrato -- is essentially continuous here. This is signature AJ.
No singer could pull this of like AJ absolutely fantastic aron your face when she started was pure gold the shock took you by surprise honestly she is the best out there by a mile and aron i got to see her live Portsmouth a real treat you have to see her live ❤
LOL....The one of the other voices...
I hope you are right, but I don't believe it will be big as much as we are anticipating. No justice for great talent today. She is popular believe me, just not the mega superstar popular.
The song is 🔥🔥🔥 Her voice is 🔥🔥🔥 If that song is not a hit, then the promotion is pretty bad !
Check uot
It' a man's world
Live with the orchest
Great reaction to an amazing performance! I am even more amazed at how unique the story in this song is. While I’m far, far from an expert on songs, I have never in my 69 years heard a “bad love” song sung from that perspective! It even take a rhyme we’ve all heard a thousand times since we were kids, “roses are red, violets are blue,“ and takes it in a whole different direction… pure genius!!!
I believe that Angelina has many souls of past singers residing inside her, this is so Amy Winehouse I can see her singing this, just wonderful
Enough with comparing Angelina to anyone,its her voice only ❤
A-Aron is hugely respectful and appreciative Angel, and he makes NO comparisons to other singers. If you think differently, point me to one.
He makes references to INFLUENCES, which are very different. When you compare you might say that one is better than the other or not as good. In contrast, when referring to influences there is no such element. Angelina discussed in her documentary on influences she had from Billie Holiday to Adele.
Please let intelligent, insightful and respectful reactors like A-Aron to speak freely.
Peace
Go to 11.25..he answers your point..
@@kevingood4644 Thanks for your response. I checked that timing when he says "influenced by Adele". Not "copying", nor "as good as" or any other disrespecting phrase. Every single artist, including GOATs like Leonardo DaVinci were influenced by previous greats. Beethoven, which is considered by many as the incomparable greatest classical composer ever, was influenced by Haydn and Mozart.
If you accept that talking about influence is different than comparing, you will find that A-Aron never compares or otherwise disrespects Angelina.
@@garysen Aron is an elite reactor imo..his jazz experience adds to his credibility and he is the type of empath that is drawn to Angelina’s voice..
I hear nothin but AJ...
There was this little story of little Angelina about stepping on a mouse trap (glue) with her bare feet en route to the stage. Today, she is still committed to 'carry the crown' for the 'princess of ruins'. This performance is an invitation to Toby's show, not hers. That's probably why she has shoes on - social manners.
Thank you a--aron she can be very sultry don't forget feeling good and still holding out for you at 10 years old both are mind-blowing and life changing wild bill
