This is close to the Sara Bareilles arrangement. But of course AJ's vocals just take it to a whole other level (ok, several levels). So gorgeous, and as always the beautiful little runs are so appropriate. And then that long run toward the end - I swear one of the most stunningly beautiful runs in, well, ever.
She does this same run in one of her later concerts in Norway, except it doesn't break as it does here, it's gorgeous (as if this wasn't), and I don't remember which of the concerts it was, just that the backdrop was Norway.
A 13-year-old at the Ella Fitzgerald level is simply incomprehensible. What I love on this one is Angelina's restraint for the quieter parts of the song, and her pauses. She understands the value of silence and simplicity, and yet she can nail ornamentations like the best of the best. Okay, I'll don yellow this week, in honor of AJ. Good idea. A knight wears a lady's "favor". Good word for Angelina. Thanks!!
Very special Angelina Monday. We always love Boudy's reactions AND we learned Angelina will have a concert in Los Angeles on September 20, 2024. Tickets are on sale through Eventbrite, even though the venue hasn't been announced. To complete this awesome Monday, Tee Spicer will have a AJ dedicated livestream tonight on TH-cam, starting at 8 PM EST. Would love to know if AJ picked this song to sing on AGT as a message to Simon. "I didn't sign up with you" "I'm not a present for your friends to open".
@@kerrythomas6220Except I see the seating capacity there is 17,500! She sold under 2000 tickets total for her 2 Vegas shows. While an AJ concert to a large crowd there would be amazing, not so sure it would be great with the place only 20% occupied. So....how about a smaller more intimate venue that has a chance of selling out?
@@SteveAckerman-ly3qg I’ve thought about that. With Toby involved in promoting this concert (I assume), since his music will be part of the show, it should be a totally different experience. He is well known in the Los Angeles music scene and her Las Vegas shows had absolutely no promotion except on TH-cam. I hope they don’t make that mistake again and get the album released and get her and Toby on TV to promote the album and the concert. If they do that, it’ll sell out no matter where it is!
The Olympics will be over at the end of the week. They need to release the album before football season starts and people get preoccupied with that. Timing is everything and they need to hit while there’s a lull in the major sports and political events.
One of my absolute favorites from Angelina. That puts it in a rarified group of about two or three dozen AJ songs. I think she felt the need to show the AGT people what she could do in the couple minutes she had available. As with other songs she’s covered, I understood for the first time the meaning of the lyrics. Elton was glam rock and musical production-Angelina is the singer who lives the lyrics with the voice that I want to hear every day of my life.
What a wonderful reaction again, thank you. Angelina is so, so tasteful in using her vocals. As you say: never too much and never too less, but just right. That's a gift on its own. Another singer who is mastering that craft on a very high level (a different genre, so no competition here!!) is 20 years old Lucy Thomas from the UK. Try her rendition of "Hallelujah" from Lenard Cohen she recorded when she was 17, which is 3 years ago. I think it would be the start for you of discovering a new, so to speak, rabbit hole.
Just got some info from Eventbrite that Angelina will release her new music at an event in LA (location undisclosed yet" on Sept 20 7:00-9:30 pm General admission $139.49+$10.49 fee VIP $320.89+$21.89 fee VIP+ meet n greet $961.14+$62.14 fee VIP + meet n greet+ Angelina singing $1708.09+$109.09 fee
wow. 150$ isn't very cheap. At least thinking with my eastern european mind. That is a lot of money here. Anyway if she performed around here, like 1000km radius, I would go 100%
The judges comments on this performance were amazing. There is speculation that Angelina sang this song as she knew she would be eliminated because she wouldn't sign a Simon contract. "not a present for your friends to open". Also, who wears a shirt with a picture of their 7 year old self, so precious!
😊👍 From her "It`s Magic" album. She was 11yo. 12 at the album consert. Amazing performance (of course). Link for Rusty Shackleford`s record-track video; th-cam.com/video/ySzuq0jr_Aw/w-d-xo.html
Great reaction Boudy! This was Angelina's song for the Finals of AGT and she shocked the heck out of me when I first saw this on tv. She sang this song beautifully and that last run toward the end of the song? WOW! That run gives me chills every time I hear this. This is a great Monday today....news about an L.A. concert she will be having came out, an Angelina music Livestream by TeeSpicerReacts later today, and of course, your reaction to this song on Angelina Jordan Mondays! We Angels are so happy today!
Yes so SP-EC-TA-CU-LA,all of Angelina’s performances on AGT Champions were phenomenal, but this is my personal favourite, Angelina puts in so much emotion into this performance and this is so hypnotic to listen to, great reaction thanks 🙏
This performance by Angelina is just delicious!!! And warm and fuzzy and hugs you. Another great thing about the song choice is that she sang exactly about what she did with AGT: she diidn't sign with them (hence she didn't win), she didn't want to be paraded like a present or trophy and so she said to goodbye to the yellow brick road (easy gold/money). Genius; only Angelina can sing that way at 13 years old or any age for that matter.
Amazing reaction Boudy, I loved. With her version Angelina has really reinterpreted the beauty, the color, the voice, the style of a legendary song and of exceptional songwriter, she has created a little yellow jewel "made in Angelina" (also with her t-shirt printed with her photo at the age of 7 at NGT). This performance of her remains fantastic for me, such appropriate use of her fantastic runs and tone variations is so fascinating! This girl has an absolutely unique talent and taste and she is not afraid of anything, there are no impossible songs for her, she will find a way to transform them with her extraordinary musical intelligence. Angelina is pure musical poetry and her vocal runs are unreal. 💛🧡❤
I think of this as the "ow" song. Listen to how she clearly adjusts multiple lyrical "ow"s to relate the pain of a breakup. Also a shout out to the writer.
Ah AngelinaMonday, Boudy this has been amongst my favorites by Angelina since she first did it on AGT. Elton is a Master Lyricist, Angelina is a Masterclass voice, " God Level" and interpreter, even at 13. Super reaction/analysis as usual, thanks for making a gloomy Monday much brighter ❤
Great reaction, thank you. There is a recent upload of AJ singing the original “Back to Black” impromptu at the piano in St Pancreas railway station in London, with a view IMHO. Thank again, love your reactions.
She's really the goat... And these masterpieces of a songs that she can just nail like that on that young age! These are not just some generic pop songs to be copied. And she was just too good to be theirs to manipulate! I'm glad she didn't sign, the win is secondary on that show, it kinda like just shows who got bamboozled. Btw, who did win? Anybody remember? :D Was it that oriental guy who sounded like a woman?
Boudy, The best reaction to date my Angel friend. Listening to our resident spell-caster, the master of tone, technique, and restraint: the incomparable Ms. Angelina Jordan, "Astar". ♾Rb.
I was so captivated by this performance when I saw it live on AGT. The run at the end was so spectacular. But fast forward a couple of years to April 30, 2022 when Angelina did a TikTok version. That TikTok version is a refined and full length version that supersedes this AGT version by far...especially the end run. While I think there was an emotional component in the AGT version that was not in the TikTok version, the TikTok version is technically superior. For those of us who lived through the angst of watching Angelina be moved to the sideline in the AGT rankings, we learned that the AGT contract requirements were not acceptable to Angelina's family management. Ultimately, Angelina would find a contract with Republic a year or so later. But you can see the change in Angelina's demeanor from the first audition, Bohemian Rhapsody, to Yellow Brick Road. In between these two, Angelina's team declined the AGT contracts, and this placed Angelina on the sideline insofar as winning AGT with her brilliant performances. Her enthusiasm dampened, she still performed brilliantly.
👣I thought I loved this song - until Angelina sang it. Now I know I love it. For sure. It`s funny though, - it`s been a while since I`ve played the original. Maybe I`ll honor EJ with another listen this week, before I go back to AJ`s performance-s again👣 🤗
Thank you very much Boudy. I have been waiting patiently for you to react yo this..Next please react to her singing ''Million Miles '' in Norway in 2022.
This girl kills me! One hundred I listened to this song, one hundred i have goosebumps 😮 On top of my top list, I wander if this song is not even better - is it possible - than Bohemian rhapsody! Terrible choice ❤
A moment of true beauty. A rare thing these days. Perhaps she's never been more beautiful. When the camera moves from right to her left and we see her, tall, slim, with that mass of hair, she's splendid. I remember one woman's comment: A Greek goddess. At 13. I read that this song wasn't really her choice, that in the final she couldn't sing the one she'd prepared but had to choose from a list of 4-5 songs.
Thanks! Love this song by Angelina. Boudy, I worry about you these days. I am sure you know where not to go in the next however long period of time. Be safe!😢
This was during Angelina's run and breathy period. She was 13 when she started the show. Angelina was in the middle of an overall phase of vocal and dynamic used in music. She had a period of time with Norah Jones and even opened a show or two while both were in South Korea. There is a video of an 10-11 year old Angelina coming back on stage to sing another song, because Norah's group wasn't ready. I leave the link below. th-cam.com/video/kpGGO3rI06Q/w-d-xo.html Angelina 11 'I Put A Spell On You' Screamin' Jay Hawkins.
It’s so cool looking back at the talent of AJ, it reminds me of the child prodigy of a Tiger Woods able to hit all the shots. 💯 The question is, how many majors will AJ win in her career? 🔮
As many of us do, these times of being a teenager with all the family will probably be her best of times that she will, as I do, always want to get back to. 🫶
Some people in the southern U.S. will tell you that an "armlet" is a dish of beaten eggs cooked in a frying pan until firm, often with a filling added while cooking, and usually served folded over. For example, a cheese "armlet." 🤠
She had a TikTok version of this where she is just singing it by herself that is even better if you can believe it. You should check it out also. She somehow even managed to do that run better. 😱
If this is a video with judges comnents, i recommend you listen to Simon's. He says everything Angelina would want to hear to validate her ten year wait to impress him.
If you want to see Angelina’s stink eye, check out her “At Last” rehearsal at age 8 where the band performed too fast and off key. She gave the adult “professionals” her hands on the hip routine and waved her mother over to help her assert her wishes. Yes! Angelina can express irritation! See for yourself! Hope your back is feeling better…
I feel sheepish and a little bit guilty when I admit… I have always loved this cover - just a little bit more than “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Thank you for another fine reaction Boudy. Did you hear?!… Angelina has announced another live performance, and it’s believed to be in conjunction with the long anticipated LP! The date is September 20, 2024 in LA, at a venue TBA. What a wonderful Autumn we have to look forward to! 🎶🍁👣
🎶👣💫💎🎶 I doubt this was intentional, but that run (and her mannerisms) towards end sort of reminds me of the cowardly lion in the Wizard of Oz. This song being sung about the yellow brick road therefore makes me chuckle. Truly a beautiful flourish in all seriousness.
You should react to Angelina’s cover of Mercy (Duffy cover). It’s from a movie soundtrack (The Hating Game). She sings all of the various vocals on it (including the backing and rap). There is also a live version from her Westgate show.
I fly over to the coast from my hometown and have lunch with Sarah Bareilles's parents several times a year and have not gotten the opportunity to meet her! Yet. It's only a 45 minute flight over gorgeous mountains Ron from California USA
There are clear differences between this performance and Sarah Bareilles' arrangement, but the fact she could comfortably slide onto the stage and play with the arrangement at 13...makes you forget that this doen't happen in the real world.
Alesha is the only singer on this panel, so she knows... My impression from the beginning was that these extensive riffs, runs and microruns were a very special gift, dedicated to the American audience, as it is known that such things are extremely well received there. I don't remember her ever doing anything like that again with such intensity.
Not 'pocket squares' but 'button holes', for example, in the left-hand lapel of the suit coat. However, even the English would prefer the French 'boutonniere', button hole, meaning the decoration pinned to the lapel there, evoking the wedding bouquet.
“The time has come,' the Walrus said, To talk of many things: Of shoes - and ships - and sealing-wax - Of cabbages - and kings - And why the sea is boiling hot - And whether pigs have wings.'” (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) The time has come, me thinks, to listen to Aurora’s cover of Massive Attack’s “Teardrop”. Listen to her short introduction with the radio hosts first in this link. th-cam.com/video/5wlJJiRGcxA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-RM4oeFUaq7TZltS
I really enjoyed your reaction to this classic by Angelina. Your enthusiasm for music is quite contagious. Just for your own fun you should check out: Angelina Jordan, Beyond The Yellow Brick Road 2.0 on Rusty Shackelford's channel. AJ takes the run at the end to another level: th-cam.com/video/RLfzGjYuiMc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=X9WjNij4xBU-uX6d
If you are listening through the headphones it has no use to move your ears closer to the monitor, the sound will not get any better. And yet, you did.....
Boudy, the context of this performance is complex. AJ wasn't going to sign with Simon, which means she couldn't win (remember, there was NO TV VOTING in this competition -- it was all "super-fan" voting in the arena, and who knows what that means?). AJ was 13 here, but AGT didn't release this performance until she was 14. If you want to sleep poorly, look up the group that won the "Champion's" competition. However, AJ performed "Someone You Loved" during the finals -- and was far better than the "winners" in 2020 (recorded in 2019).
She's like The Highlander.! There can only be one.! 😯
This is close to the Sara Bareilles arrangement. But of course AJ's vocals just take it to a whole other level (ok, several levels). So gorgeous, and as always the beautiful little runs are so appropriate. And then that long run toward the end - I swear one of the most stunningly beautiful runs in, well, ever.

Did you hear?!… Angelina has announced another live performance, and it’s believed to be in conjunction with the long anticipated LP! The date is September 20, 2024 in LA, at a venue TBA. What a wonderful Autumn we have to look forward to! 🎶🍁👣
🎶👣💫💎🎶 I doubt this was intentional, but that run (and her mannerisms) towards end sort of reminds me of the cowardly lion in the Wizard of Oz. This song being sung about the yellow brick road therefore makes me chuckle. Truly a beautiful flourish in all seriousness.

You should react to Angelina’s cover of Mercy (Duffy cover). It’s from a movie soundtrack (The Hating Game). She sings all of the various vocals on it (including the backing and rap).
There is also a live version from her Westgate show.
Great Reaction 👍🙏💯😎
I fly over to the coast from my hometown and have lunch with Sarah Bareilles's parents several times a year and have not gotten the opportunity to meet her! Yet. It's only a 45 minute flight over gorgeous mountains

❤ so much fun and smiles. 😊
Next week try “How great Thou art” in the style of Elvis. She uses her lower register. 😊
Please react to young and beautiful,unreal.
SEN-SAT-ION-AL !
You need to react to the Acapella version of If I were a boy!
❤.

There are clear differences between this performance and Sarah Bareilles' arrangement, but the fact she could comfortably slide onto the stage and play with the arrangement at 13...makes you forget that this doen't happen in the real world.
Alesha is the only singer on this panel, so she knows...
My impression from the beginning was that these extensive riffs, runs and microruns were a very special gift, dedicated to the American audience, as it is known that such things are extremely well received there. I don't remember her ever doing anything like that again with such intensity.
Not 'pocket squares' but 'button holes', for example, in the left-hand lapel of the suit coat. However, even the English would prefer the French 'boutonniere', button hole, meaning the decoration pinned to the lapel there, evoking the wedding bouquet.
“The time has come,' the Walrus said,
To talk of many things:
Of shoes - and ships - and sealing-wax -
Of cabbages - and kings -
And why the sea is boiling hot -
And whether pigs have wings.'” (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson)
The time has come, me thinks, to listen to Aurora’s cover of Massive Attack’s “Teardrop”. Listen to her short introduction with the radio hosts first in this link.

I really enjoyed your reaction to this classic by Angelina. Your enthusiasm for music is quite contagious. Just for your own fun you should check out: Angelina Jordan, Beyond The Yellow Brick Road 2.0 on Rusty Shackelford's channel. AJ takes the run at the end to another level:

I don't know if that's true about Simon and a contract..never heard that before.
Who’s the star, the reactor, or the performer? First time seeing your channel. Get the ego under control bud……😎
If you are listening through the headphones it has no use to move your ears closer to the monitor, the sound will not get any better. And yet, you did.....
I think all the runs has something to do with her really trying to impress the American judges and audience.
Boudy, the context of this performance is complex. AJ wasn't going to sign with Simon, which means she couldn't win (remember, there was NO TV VOTING in this competition -- it was all "super-fan" voting in the arena, and who knows what that means?). AJ was 13 here, but AGT didn't release this performance until she was 14. If you want to sleep poorly, look up the group that won the "Champion's" competition. However, AJ performed "Someone You Loved" during the finals -- and was far better than the "winners" in 2020 (recorded in 2019).
I also don't like it when they over use a flex. It's annoying.
Less commentary, more music would be nice.
What's wrong with your equipment?..can't even see Angelina singing..yellow brick road..
