Perhaps life is about watching a video of a song written and sung by a very brilliant young girl that's so beautiful and moving it makes your heart melt.
It's great to see you checking out Angelina's original works! All of Angelina's originals are special in their own way, but this one is probably my favorite. Angelina is 12 in this recording, but it was likely written by her at age 11 or earlier. Aside from the incredible, soulful vocal she gives us, the subject itself is so beyond her years. It's not only beyond her years to ask the question "What is life?", but the answers she gives to that question really show what grounded person she is, and the things she values most... school, art, family. There's not a single line about material things... it's all about ideas and love. That is what we need more of in music.
My favorite as well. This song is under appreciated, but perhaps because he's a fellow songwriter, SLV gets it. Best reaction to this performance.
That is a beautiful insight.
You express an antipathy for material success, things like a nice place to live, good and abundant food, nice clothes and other things. Is that what you mean? Do you think that someone can only achieve material success at the expense of sacrificing other values such as honestly or good will? Have you ever read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, particularly Francisco's money speech in the book.?
@@davidfeinrider108 "apathy for material success" is definitely not what my message was there. I was speaking to the general trend in popular music for artists to brag about all thier wealth and what things they can buy with all their success. There is nothing wrong with material wealth, but if your song tells me what kind of car you drive or what brand your sneakers are... that's at the shallow end of the idea pool IMO. It also gives young minds the illusion that material things are a measure of a successful life, when in reality wealth and happiness are rarely connected.
The flawless genius of Angelina is simply unequaled by anyone else. Period.
Great, great reaction! I love the line about her sister, "after all she's the love of my life." The singing is sublime, and as you pointed out, this awesome music is coming out of a very simple home studio setup in a cramped room. She is just so unbelievably good!
"Maybe life is a warm embrace, from someone safe" penned by an 11-year-old. Incomprehensible.
The only one of its kind, Angelina "The velvet vocal"! Please next "SHIELD" also an original from her, but a completely different style. She performed 12-year-old on Scandinavia's biggest talk show.
Angelina is a Celestial being💜 on earth to calm a chaotic world!! Please react to her original Shield, just as profound.
A beautiful reminder for each of us to enjoy the simple things in life. Angelina brings such joy with her authentic, compassionate voice. She will take us to places unimaginable, in fact she already has.
She makes us slow down, you don't just hear her, you listen...the universe was just showing off with Angelina.
The pianist, Dylan Meek cowrote "Invincible" a song for Spyder-Man: Into the Spyder-Verse. The entire sound track was nominated for a grammy this year.
That's amazing!
You mentioned that AJ sounded a little like Nora Jones - they met when AJ was 10 years old(I think) in South Korea- they performed at the same venue AJ in the afternoon and Nora in the evening- Nora obviously was impressed by AJ's performance as she asked her to sing an extra song to fill in before Nora's performance- the crowd loved it!
Norah Jones loves Angelina, she has said "she is blessed." They were also both at the concert for Quincy Jones' 85th birthday & she had Angelina under her wing at the finale.
@@keithserafy That is so special and nice to know. Both of you. I didn't know that.
Nora Jones is under contract with Blue Note Records.. Both Republic Records and Blue Note Records are owned by Universal Music group. Blue Note Records specializes in Jazz and Blues. If Angelina ever has a contractual problem with Republic she could probably switch over to Blue Note.
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Among Angelina's original compositions so far, this one is my favorite. I love the atmosphere of the song, the refreshing lyrics, and especially how well the music accentuates her remarkable voice. Throw in the wonderfully talented Ivan Mendez on guitar, and jazz piano prodigy Dylan Meek, and you have the perfect all-star trio. The lyrics:
What Is Life
What is life?
Life is maybe going to school
Perhaps life is sittin' at the piano
Playing beautiful songs
Maybe life is about creating paintings like my grandma
And life is perhaps a tear that's stealthy in the night
What if life is lifting your hand to the sky
Up where the blue birds fly to get your love on time?
What if life means you and I
Will shine like a star in the darkest sky
Maybe life is a warm embrace
From someone safe
Maybe life's just a memory
We come, we see, we go
Feeding birds with my little sister
After all she's the love of my life, life is beautiful
Love life with all the good and bad
The good and bad
I Love your comments, smart and so nice! Thanks for the lyrics of this song. As always, so generous...!!!
@@mariangelamattosgrosso237 You're welcome!
@@9Ballr Thank you very much! You're welcome too!
About the setup - in my opinion she's done some of her most soul touching performances with just Ivan Mendes on the guitarre and that mic. The guy introducing her is Grammy award nominee Dylan Meeks. So far she's shown a nack of getting talented people together.
As P.S. said so well Angelina is the embodiment of an Angel with great wisdom ,compassion and love to spread to the world . I truly think she has been sent here at this time in history for a special mission to perform and from 1-1/2 years young she began it with gusto, Barely into her teen years she has already fulfilled her stated dreams and goals from a young girl of barely 7 years old. She has accomplished more in her first 7 to 13 years than most have in 30 to 50 years. , and she is just getting started in life!! Angelina can not be nothing but a musical wonder and a earth bound Angel from heavenly places.
She wrote this when she was 11. It is on her cd, It's Magic with full orchestra and she recorded this cd at 11 years old. She is 12 on this live one. Life for an 11 year old Angelina.
What an extremely unexcited trio....created in heaven... 🤗
A million years ago is so emotional. Just her and Ivan the guitarist you see here. I really hope she keeps him in her circle when she starts her band
And, the piano player (sorta strokes that piano choppy-like) in "I Put a Spell on you." 1st version.
It is truly moving to watch Angelina perform from a genuine place of authenticity. Everything she does is from the heart, emotions flowing, but with such amazing and mature control of her instrument. It takes your breath away!
The way she sings with so much passion in every words that comes on that beautiful voice.
Always calm and you said look at her eyes that's Angelina going to her owm beautiul World.
Soul I try to find new reactors all the time.
And they all act the same or say the same thing and that to be expected.
There is just not enough words to say what you just heard
Only thing I can say there is a so much to listen to.
Your are a great reactor and I love all your analysis.
Great Reaction Stay Safe
With Angelina, its all about the voice. Check her out on the tv show "the view" she sings "fly me to the moon". You will be amazed.
She gives us a wonderful Message with this amazing first Song: love what you are doing and love the people around you. Be fearless, we come, we see, we Go and the goood and bad. Very philosophic and soulful.
The composition is also to calm down from a stressy day 🌅💓🌞
Another great reaction. Thanks. AJ's emotion is a huge part of what she sings. It is so genuine.
Wow... She has a lot of GOD given talent that has been developed through her training and hard work.
If you listen to it 10,000 more times, it will amaze you at every listen. If you listen to the TV interview before she performs “Shield” on Norwegian TV, they ask her if she feels like 12 years old, and she replies “Only when I look at my Passport”. She really is an old soul in a young girl’s body. I’m already looking forward to your next reaction.
Whatever else one can say about Angelina (and there is a lot), we must admit that as she touches us with nearly any song she picks sung any way she wishes, we must use the term 'unbelievable' less and less where she is concerned. She makes us believe.
Love your reaction.
I call Angelina the Queen of the next generation of Jazz. She’ll make it popular again and will probably have many artists follow in her footsteps. 👍🇨🇦
Soul, your reactions are always worthy of our time. Angelina is also worthy of our time. She continues to touch our hearts and minds with this original. My favorite singer that I will never tire of. Great reaction sir, thumbs up.
Written at 11-12. Her diary written at six reveals who and what she is becoming
I can listen all day to the life thoughts of this 12 year old girl, on her own perspective thru her music. Oslo and Shield are her other two originals that are up on air. And I believe she has a lot more that are just waiting to be released.
Another incredible reaction to an incredible artist!
I suspect your book is really really good?
You should hear her sing “Valerie.” She has a music video on TH-cam singing this song on the beach in LA. It’s absolutely stunning!
The minute she opens her mouth and that beautiful tone just grabs u....it's incredible and she wrote it at 12...seriously!!!!! Phenominal amazing what else can u say? I was playing with barbies at her age Soul lol!! I also always feel like she sounds like Nora Jones which I've rarely heard anyone else say so thanks for another awesome reaction!
Exciting, unreal, hold your heart !!!!!. She came from another planet. Slipped, fell here and has not yet been rescued !!!!. KKKKKKKKKKKKK
Yes, I noticed the same thing about her eyes. Poet, singer, actress . . . probably a mystic.
I’m buying your book after this....this is the first time I’ve heard this....it’s bringing tears to my eyes...she never fails to amaze me. I love her so much. Her voice needs nothing added to it that’s why I can’t get enough of her.
Me too, brightens my day, the world. Treasure a miracle 🙏🏻😃👶
Angelina is just amazing isn't she She wrote this when she was 11yrs old and here singing it she's 12yrs old I love this song so much feedin birds with my little sister after all she's the love of my life what a beautiful thing to say about her little sister Juliette she loves her so much and Juliette is so funny two beautiful young lady's 💖love from Denise in England 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👼🏻👼🏻💖😘👋byeXX
Keep going Soul love your reactions to A.J.
Special talent.
There are few 14-year-olds that can channel the same level of maturity as vocalist Angelina Jordan, and it’s this that makes her particularly hard to turn away from. The Los Angeles-based musician exudes a confidence and experiential wisdom that is few and far between, let alone for someone of her tender age.
Penning lyrics that are designed to touch and affect the hearts of listeners, there’s an honesty and openness in Million Miles that will make you want to confide your vulnerabilities and gain the courage to truly connect with your inner emotions. Add to this Angelina’s jaw-dropping vocal abilities, and you’ll be left stunned and speechless at the mastery you’ve just witnessed. Bringing in a simplistic piano harmony and stirring strings, the tender accompaniment allows the full power of Angelina’s voice to pierce through and grab you
Just,.........................unbelievably beautiful
You have a never ending journey ahead of you👋
Listen to the other song she wrote "Shield" it's fabulous....
"Shield" if I'm not mistaken was written to her mom
@@wippletits, Written-By - Aksel Carlson, Angelina Jordan Astar, Frida Amundsen, Ronny Janssen. So she had more input and writing because it was her song. To say it wasn't written by her is wrong!
@@wippletits, her song, as in she is singing it! What proof do you have that she did not write the lyrics or have any input to the music?
@@wippletits, I believe that when a reactor introduces a song, they should give credit to all the writers. Are you saying that she had no input at all and just did the singing?
@@wippletits, if you are so gung ho on spreading the truth then you can't say that she didn't write the song. You would have to say she co-wrote the song by adding one line. So spread the whole truth! That is if it is the truth 😉 I'm sure you are finding out that most people don't really care...so sad! Like the rumor about John Legend personally giving her his backing track for "All of Me" and singing on it. 😂🤣 I hate that rumor!
She wrote this at age 11 and recorded it for her first Album, It’s Magic, with the Norwegian orchestra. This is her little corner in their living room where she plays the piano and arranges her songs.
She wrote it when 11 years old.
Top of the 4am morning to you...turned on my phone and there you were so...my first time
I think Angelina fans would most universally agree that "I Put a Spell on You" is her most gobsmacking performance. I'm sure it's already been said. Can't wait for you to get to that one.
He did already
@@indyjones1173 Couldn't find it. I'll have to look again.
th-cam.com/video/_-a-7vJKPg0/w-d-xo.html
Hi Soul, just found Angelina's cover of
I WILL SURVIVE... From the 70's the disco genre. Worth a look that will blow you away again... Love your reactions.... always a pleasure to watch 💜
Dooooooo iiiiiiiiiiiiit pretty please
Watch the TV2 version of another one of her own songs 'Shield'. I have even seen it covered on another tallent show.
@ Here, Hanna Solemdal covering Angelina in "The Voice Norway": th-cam.com/video/oLr9PBwg8X4/w-d-xo.html
@@ajplaylistsbyfan thank you
@ th-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/w-d-xo.html
Two songs for you Soul:
1. Shield written by and performed by her when she was 12. th-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/w-d-xo.html
2. " I Who Have Nothing" performed in a studio at age 6! Not to be confused with "I Have Nothing" when she was older
❤️ your reaction 👍😊
Though you were speechless your look and expression spoke volumes. Great reaction ! The end of this is off the charts amazing.
Thanks what a great reaction.
I bet Angelina understand that her fans comes from various backgrounds and i know my fave one of her original is shield because i come for her jazzy vibe. But she also create this for her fans who's not too into jazz and oslo for her Norway fans. I guess? Lol. I love all of 3 tho ❤️
So beautiful ❤❤❤
Good to see you back Soul. First time hearing this song. So amazing and her style is instantly recognizable. Always like seeing Ivan on guitar with her. The pianist is also amazing. Thanks! Great reaction!
I'll check out your book too. Sounds like a good read.
You must listen to her own Oslo too. About her longing for her hometown when she is in LA. So different but still beautiful. And then the latest Shield about her family protecting her.
Makes one pretty humble....:)
she is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Con sus reacciones, con Angelina, Dimash etc...Me saltaron las lágrimas, pero lágrimas bonitas, de las que quiero que me acompañen toda la vida. Adorable
Soul, People need to ask themselves, what was I doing at age eleven? Angelina wrote this song at eleven years old.
She has the Eyes of a Earth Angel.
Good description.
Just amazing
You are so spot on, being her age and putting these lyrics together is jaw dropping. Even her covers are so mature, and who sings jazz at 7 yrs old and understands every word and feeling? Different world, I guess.
Like an angel...
Her face is so very sweet and inviting/engaging here, almost madonna like...
You have to do her cover of Whitney Houston's I Have Nothing.
Why are Ivan and the pianist joining her on this song unless they believe in her greatness.
I have watched Ivan interviewed about his relationship with the family and as someone who has such respect for Angie that he sometimes would lose his place during a recording because he was lost in her voice. She would respectfully help him and do one her rare second takes. Ivan has a full time job and working part time with Angie became untenable, but he remains a loyal fan who has glowing things to say about her and the family.
Signing about her own life.
I believe this is her home studio where she recorded many of her greatest covers. Born to Die, Stay, Millions Years Ago, etc...
She is an Angel ❤❤
she is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Soul. first of all I will get your book. I'll try Barnes and Noble and if I have to I'll get it from you.
My friend, it's really not a mystery in regards to our feelings about Angelina. We love her so hard it's crazy. Every part of our being loves her. Like you said, she's brought back to you feelings of love that you have forgotten or misplaced. I don't know about you but, personally, I am a much nicer person since I know Angelina. Geez, I can hardly write this comment without my emotions bursting at the seams. I know how strongly you feel about her but you still have a long way to go with her musically. "You ain't seen nothin' yet!" Not a day goes by without me introducing Angelina to someone who hasn't heard her yet. I'm going to make some business cards at Staples introducing her without having to write notes on napkins, back of envelopes, etc.,
Have a great day!
wait until you hear shield and oslo , unbelievable song writing , great reaction
Some of us have gone through life without experiencing much love. But Angelina has equaled the the field. I feel more love from listening to this angel sing, than I have ever felt before. These are dark times. We need this girl.
So thankfully she is helping fill some low spots in our lives
She helps many of us most days.
Para mi verguenza personal, le reconocí hace unos días que no comprendo bien el inglés, pero aún así veo todos sus videos, porque solo con verle, ya entiendo como se siente cuando algo le emociona, y se le ve tan auténtico, sensible y dulce en sus reacciones, que me invade el alma. Y le comento esto, a propósito de su libro, inmediatemente me dije... tengo que leerlo, pero no lo encuentro en español y me apena. Pero espero de verdad que algún día lo traduzcan. Solo decirle que me encantan sus videos, es adorable. Muchas Gracias
Angelina no tiene barreras!!
And here we go again.....crying!!!
11 yrs old when she wrote this beautiful song
She knows.....the universe is inside her.
Luv u soul
Effortless emotion.
I just started the video then autopress the like button. 😁 waiting for the funny parts.
Soul, want to be totally shocked...check out "I who have nothing" recording at 6 years old.
Did you catch that vocal melismatic run at the end by Angelina I thought okay that was an awesome run there is no way she could repeat that without writing down the notes so what does she do she turns around and does the Run exactly again from memory do you know how hard this would be to do
...and one word you said jumped out... clever...God is all that...and He gave the WORLD a gift thru the beating 💓 heart of a child ..every soul left speechless...a stirring is flowing like a river around the globe...light is casting out the darkness... happy day friend.. this rabbit hole has kept me busy...more to share with you so I will get back at you when the sun comes up... Joyce in Tahoe
She always leaves us wanting more
This one is agreat song..."shield" even better ...
NEXT......AUTUMN LEAVES
One of my favorite songs by her. So beautiful. I think it's one of her best.
Hi SoulReacts, one beautiful song to check out is Autumn Leaves by Angelina Jordan and while your at it, check out the french versions. The french title is 'Les feuilles mortes' and the renditions by Juliette Greco, Mouloudji and Yves Montant are all amazing. The French version was written by the modern French poet Jacques Prevert and the English translation just about does the lyrics justice.. In French it's the most melancholic ever esp. by Juliette Gréco.
Check out her last original "Shield" th-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/w-d-xo.html. Angelina's ability to impart emotion in her vocals is unparalleled IMO, and has been that way since she began her career. Thanks for the reaction.
❤ Angie ❤
your book seems to be a great movie script. I would love to see that movie.
I know of not one young singer/songwriter who would be already in life a philosopher and a moralist.
It is not that she Angelina is an old soul, I do not adhere one minute to that belief, but that she has a deep soul and so much universal love and true profond peace to give to the world and, more particularly, to each one of us.
In view of her artistic creativity, only Aurora dominates her for now.
Nice review. Thanks again!
Her I have nothing Whitney Houston tribute song is the best song to really hear her range and to see a glimpse at how good she can really be in the future I highly recommend it.
Sometimes the magic comes from the mutual discomfort.Plus you have three top level musicians sharing the same air and all pulling in the same direction. I just got through with watching and listening to Daneliya singing Who You Are by Jessie J and she smashed it. Then I come here just after hearing Angelina sing Chris Izaak's Wicked Games where Angelina is playing the piano. Between these two I am going to have a terrible crying headache. Because no matter what these two totally different singers do is capture my heart with their honesty of performance. These two young women are 'My Twins' as I found them in the middle of the night three days apart. Two youngsters that from their first notes I knew they were special. And I'm thinking how are they, one from Oslo, Norway, the other from Almaty, Kazakhstan ever going to get the rest of the world to know how good they are. The miracle of the Internet and word of mouth from dopes like us to other dopes and I love geometric growth.
Now both these two will have won the first big competition they were in. Both were born the same year. Both dared to dream that all that is coming true for them is actually happening.Both have great families. Both have become beautiful young women. Both work hard and are crazy talented who when they do a cover it is usually better than the original artist's version. Then you throw in Dimash and Morissette Amon and you have some of the best singers in the world and none come from the U.S. or, G.B. I'm glad I lived long enough to have heard these wonderful singers. Thanks for your reaction. I know I went off the rails a bit but I was having a bad night nothing seems to be helping so writing about something positive I thought might help?! Nope!
Angelina once said the only time she felt like her age is when she looked at her passport.
This is my favorite Angelina original. My 2nd favorite is her tribute to her home town "Oslo," but the live versions on YT are fan-recorded videos with a too loud Big Band. The recording on her album "It's Magic" is well mixed & sounds great so a fan, Yozhik v Tumane, took the album track & put it with beautiful scenes of Norway. Here is the link. th-cam.com/video/MfWVcDQix4Y/w-d-xo.html I really wish she would record an acoustic version with guitar &/or piano.
@Fedor Ivanov I have heard this a long time ago, but I don't remember the audio being this good. Maybe I heard it before Boris enhanced it. Anyway, it is a good version & most importantly you see her singing. Thanks, I will use this version in the future.
🙏🙏👍👍💙💙
******NEWSFLASH. BRAND NEW ANGELINA JORDAN RELEASE...Angelina just came out with a new song..TODAY..thru Republic Records....it is about her grandpa and she wrote it. It also has some really great graphics...from her or her grandmother, I am guessing.....just letting you know.
