- My name is Josh. Subtitles:16 languages. This was at a whole different level. She brought so much grit, texture and uniqueness to this performance. Her talent at such a young age is just incredible. I can't wait to continue my Angelina journey. Thank you for watching my reactions. See the link below for my Angelina Jordan Playlist.

In an interview, Angelina said later (then 10yo) about this song: "It means love! Desperate love. It's very special, it's almost voodoo! The original is very nice, and when I scream it is a desperate cry that everyone should love each other."
Right there in that quote, Angelina’s childish naïveté reveals itself when she says, “... everyone should love each other”. Yes, in the Christian sense, we should. But, that's not what the song is about. At 8 years old she didn't know about the selfish, hateful, hurtful, and manipulative people out there. Thank God, for that. But by being an Empath, the Narcissists will be seeking her out. Sometimes personal barriers are good for our health.
my heart...
@@jeffstumpf9129 I read comments and see some reactors saying she shouldn't be singing this song and a few other songs because she hasn't "experienced" these emotions. Yet, like you said, she can interpret the meaning in a more naive way and still project those emotions through a different lens. She obviously feels these emotions just by the way she delivers the song.
@@frankphillips5660 Presumably those same reactors would say she shouldn't have given her shoes away because she hadn't experienced never having shoes. While others may have felt for the little girl and yet walked on by, Angelina felt LIKE the girl for long enough to not want her to feel that way any longer. Maybe it was important to her to feel for the rest of the day like the girl had felt her whole life (I almost typed 'walk in her shoes'). Empaths feel what the rest of us have trouble imagining.
@James Stewart Through the eyes of a child ! Aurora would agree with you, as I do
Walking in the hall on her way to audition with her mom or Grandma holding her hand, she said" I hope the judges say yes." I Want to be super star when I grow up." Well... she made it.!!
She didn't just "take this on." She ARRANGED this at age 9. Unbelievable.
If you as a professional don't understand it, just imagine the effect that she caused us like mere mortals.
Josh, sir, here is a story about this special video, put together from interviews of the band members and a little bit of assumption: Angelinas parents had rented the studio including the band. As you know, at that point in time AJ was already a superstar in Scandinavia, and also declared by all Norwegians their National Treasure.
I have to assume, that her dad rented the studio, because he has an other name. She came in, rearranged the song and gave that to the studio boss as her "wishes", as you saw, first he was not so sure, but after reading he smiled with respect. The band members thought it to be a joke for the little girl. Here I have to assume again, because she introduced herself to all musicians and shook hands, I assume, she used her real name (Angelina Jordan Astar), not her stage name (Angelina Jordan). BUT according to the band members, 30 seconds into the song, it occurred to them who they were working with. As she never bossed them around, only asked them, if this, or that, please? and her "wishes" made uncanny sense, these guys nicknamed her THE BOSS, it is sticking to her to this day. Musicians around the world, who works or had worked with her call her respectfully the boss. At Republic Records, she is THE BOSS of her production in the same charming, disarming way. She even directs her music videos, sketching the storyboards and so on. Sir, You and yours, please stay save and sound, German greetings.
@Volker Jenn Hi, wenn einem als 62 jähriger die Decke auf den Kopf fällt, LOL; dann versucht man mal was anderes anzschauen als TV Serien. Weihnachten 2020 entdeckte ich You Tubes Music Channels und Angelina. Seither habe ich mich fast täglich mit ihr und ihrer Geschichte befasst. Die Herren Shakleford und Schnell sind zuverlässige Quellen für AJ. Wenn man die diversen "Reactoren surft, und die kommentare liest, merkt man schnell was stimmen müsste und was nicht. Wenn man aus fünf verschiedenen Quellen, inclusive einiger Norweger, zu den Geschichten der oben genannten Herren Bestätigungen findet sollte das ok sein. EMPFEHLUNG: AJ hat in ihrem shop ihr Buch auch in English als Download (nicht billig) seit Februar März im Angebot. Laut eigener Aussage von Angelina( th-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/w-d-xo.html AUF CC CLICKEN ZUR ÜBERSETZUNG) hat sie den Text aus ihren Tagebüchern von damals Wort für Wort übernommen. Volker, wenn Sie diese Geschichte lesen, werden Sie verstehen, dass diese junge Frau, im wahrsten Sinne, ein Genie sein muss. Solche Sätze bildet keine Sechsjährige. Und hier erzählt sie ihre Geschichte th-cam.com/video/IeGKKELSpjk/w-d-xo.html Der Text Ihrer eigenen Lieder, vor Allem die die sie ganz allein geschrieben hat, wie "What is Life", "Oslo" und "Million Miles" zeigen den Einfluss ihrer mütterlichen Oma als Dichterin, JA sie ist Malerin und Dichterin, auf. Solche Gedankengänge hat kein 8 bis 14 jähriges Mädchen.
Ich bin von Natur aus ein misstrauischer Mensch, also habe ich auch bei Angelina alles hinterfragt, wo Andere jubelnd, die Kleine auf ein Podest stellten und sie buchstäblich anbeteten. Durch Vergleiche, Querchecks, Nachfragen bei Norwegern, die mir in YT schrieben, habe ich mich langsam durchgearbeitet. Angelina ist eine zauberhafte, gutherzige junge Frau, die aber auch glatt lügen kann, wenn es sein muss. Kurz vor Ihrem Auftritt lief sie Einem Asiatisch-amerikanischen Ehepaar (Video) über den Weg ud erzählte denen sie sei bloss Zuschauer (Hausregeln bei AGT). Wegen der "Erpressungsversuche"(nicht wörtlich nehmen) von Simon Cowel, sang sie "Yellow Brick Road" Wenn man im Video aufpasst sieht man Simon mit einem Gesichtsausdruck "saure Zitrone". Lesen Sie ruhig den Originaltext von Sir Elton mal nach. Wenn Sie Fragen haben, gerne. Man liest sich LOL. Liebe Grüße aus dem Schwabenland.
@Volker Jenn Volker hier etwas "beruhigendes" :-) Angelina hat vor ein paar Monaten ein neues Musik Genre patentieren lassen "JAZZPOP" und in meinen unbedarften Augen/Ohren sind Billie Jean und 7th heaven genau das. Angelina versucht, da bin ich mir ziemlich sicher, eine Brücke zu bauen, zwischen den Generationen. Volker, Shau mal genau auf die jüngeren You Tube Reactors. Das ist auch Musikern aufgefallen (Home Free z.Bsp.) Seit Angelina auftauchte, haben sehr viele Reactors ihre Hörgewohnheiten verändert. Ein Beispiel ist ein junges farbiges Paar "Rob Squad" die nach eigenen Aussagen am Anfang Rap anschauten und andere Musik als naja ansahen. Letzten bewundern sie Pavarotti, James Brown, Led Zeppelin. Das sehe ich inzwischen bei vielen dieser Leute. Der am breitesten aufgestellte ist ein Kriegs-veteran "Highly Combustible". Einer der Jüngeren erwähnte vor Kurzem, die Reactors haben einen virtuellen Stammtisch. LOL. Highly hat den jüngeren tips gegeben. Z.Bsp.: Nimm die Angelina Jordan in Dein Programm, Die singt Klasse und bring Dir massenhaft Subscriber . Die die seinem Ratschlag folgten, hatten Erfolg. Nicht nur das, grins, bei allen diesen Leuten sind die Reactionen auf Angelina fast schon identisch, aber anscheinend echt. Zuerst das Gesicht, naja, dann mach ich das eben, kurz darauf, What, WHAT???, dann fängt bei den Mannsbildern das Gesicht an gefühlvoll zu werden. Wie bei stolzen Eltern. Ich hab mir einen Rapper angetan. Der sah aus und verhielt sich so, als wenn er grade ein paar Leute kalt gemacht hätte. Echt, beim zweiten AJ-Video musste er seine GANGSTA-Sonnenbrille abnehmen, weil ihm das Wasser aus den Augen lief. Der Kerl ist vielleicht Anfang 30. Danach war er bei AJ wie ausgewechselt. In dem Moment wo er AJ ankündigt, kriegt er einen ganz weichen Ausdruck mit Stolz auf sein kleines Mädchen (die ihn wahrscheinlich überragt). Also wenn die You Tube typen schon dem Publikum ein richtig breites Spektrum an "Alter Musik" JA sogar Beethoven , anbieten, dann kann uns das nur recht sein. Die gleiche Typen shimpfen inzwischen auf die amerikanische Musikindustrie,"What you hear on your Radio day by day, is absolutly crap, shallow crap, man I tell you".Sinngemäss habe ich das von verschiedenen Reactors hehört. Unsere Prinzessin, wird ihren Weg machen. Wenn Du ein bisschen was über das Singen von AJ hören/lernen willst empfehle ich Dir Ceci Dover (Übersetzung einschalten), oder Valerie WhiteWittman von Vocal Splendor. Wer auch gut ist ist Elizabeth Zarkov von Carismatic Voice, sie reagiert selten auf AJ, aber dann richtig gut. Grüße aus dem Remstal bei Stuttgart
@Volker Jenn Volker, ich stimme Dir zu. Die Zeichen verdichten sich, dass AJ bald mit der Schule fertig ist. Ihre Familie, sagte ja, dass nach Schulabschluss AJ den Starschuss gibt. Republic Records hatte ja zugesichert sie keinesfalls zu drängen. Für mich siehr es so aus. Als ob AJ und Rob Christie (ihr Pianist und Chef der RR studios in LA) zusammen mit Stargate schon eine Weile fleißig am werkeln sind. Bin gespannt wieviele Songs von AJ sind und wieviele Coverssein werden.Wie mer (man) im Schwoabaländle sagt: Do koascht Gift druff nemma:-))) (Darauf kannst Du Gift nehmen) Ich bin ebenfalls der Meinung dass Angelina nicht das anspruchslose amerikanische Publikum erreichen wird (die wollen schließlich nicht denken!!! BÖSEBÖSEBÖSE. Die Amerikaner, die höhere Ansprüche stellen, werden bei den Angels (uns) landen. Ausserdem sammelt AJ weiterhin überall Freunde. In 7th heaven official music video die ""waitress" erlebt im Grunde genommen das Lied in dem sie die zweite Rolle neben AJ spielt.
Junge begabte Sängerin/Tänzerin/Schauspielerin, verdient sich die Brötchen als Bedienung. Dann kommt Angelina und bietet ihr eine unglaubliche Chance. Wer mit Angelina auftritt ist nicht nur auf YT bekannt. So viele Musiker, Leute aus Hollywood usw. schauen genau hin. Wenn jemand von diesem jungen Genie (AJ schreibt nicht nur songs, sondern auch ihre Drehbücher zeichnet die storyboards und bespricht sich mit allen Beteiligten im Video, wie üblich liebenswert charmant, aber auch knallhart) engagiert wird und neben AJ spielt und singt, glaube mir, die Chancen dieser jungen Künstlerin sind seither um viele Prozentpunkte gestiegen. Wahrscheinlich werden wir sie auch mal wieder bei AJ sehen, wie den Bassisten, Dylan Meeks, der für sie als 12jährige Keyboard spielte "What is live". Volker wir lesen uns wieder.GRIN. Liebe Grüße aus STGT.
@Volker Jenn Ich habe den "furchtbaren" Verdacht, dass Onkel Michael und Angelina derzeit experimentieren. Bei Billie Jean war vermerkt, dass das "downtown LA" gedreht wurde und zwar von ihrem Onkel Michael (Manager). Die ausdrucksvollen Minimalbewegungen ihrer Hände in den "alten" Videos hat sie in Oslo auf der Akademie für Musik und AUFFÜHRENDE Künste gelernt. In ihren ersten Videos mit 6 Jahren und in NGT hat sie diese Moves noch nicht drauf. Ich kann natürlich nur Vermutungen anstellen, aber die Videos für ihren CoverChannel sollen sicher rechtlich unabhängig sein von RR. Ich hoffe inständig, dass sie sich nicht mit Rob Christie verkracht hat. Die Videos von MILLION MILES, 7TH HEAVEN und HEAL THE WORLD waren ja in seinem privaten home studio aufgenommen worden. Ja, wenn man zweifacher Grammy-Gewinner ist, und Chef der RR Studios LA, kann an sich ein eigenes home studio leisten. AJ scheint sehr genau auf ihre ANGELS zu hören. Nach der Verwirrung mit 7th heaven und Schuhen und ihrem fehlenden Lachen in WHEN you believe, hat sie geradezu blitzartig reagiert. Im offiziellen 7th h. Video sieht man sie ausgelassen blödeln (Gott sei Dank) und in Billie Jean zeigt sie demonstrativ ihre Füße. ABER sie hat ihre blossen Füße nicht auf dem Boden. VERMUTUNG: Sie hat Fuß-Probleme und darf mit blossen Füßen nicht hinstehen. PRIVATE ÄNGSTE: LOL ( Warum verbirgt sie ihren Bauch??? Ist sie schwanger??? Oma und Mama waren auch sehr früh dran. Mery Zamany war 42 als sie OMA wurde!!! Quelle Alan Papier. ). Wenn ich mir die Bilder im Einkaufswagen ansehe, denke ich sie ist NICHT schwanger. Da ist sie rank und schlank!!!! GRIN Puh Seufz, um Donald Duck zu zitieren.
@Volker Jenn Volker, lass und abwarten, AJ ist eine hochintelligente junge Frau, die verrückte Sache ausprobiert. Als ich in TicToc reinschaute (das Erste und letzte Mal) Sah sie aus als wäre sie in einen Farbeimer gefallen, hatte eine durchsheinende Bluse an mit einem BH der in Richtung Victorias Secret geht usw.. Aber anscheinend hat Oma noch einen Einfluss auf sie, und sie kehrte wieder zu gut bürgerlich zurück. Dass Sie lieber Jeans trägt als den "Stagefummel" kann ich verstehen. Wir haben auch mit allem Möglichen experimentiert, in dem Alter. So lange sie nicht herumläuft, wie im Rotlicht Bezirk. Neulich hab ich sie in einem "Kleid" gesehen, das ihre "weiblichen Attribute" unterstreicht. Der Chauvi in mir findet das toll, aber der Kerl, der Nachbarskinder hat, in dem Alter, und sich um die Sorgen macht, findet das nicht gut. Und Volker Du weisst ja, AJ ist "der Boss". Onkel Michael kann sich auf den Kopf stellen und mit den Ohren wackeln, wenn die Prinzessing etwas will, dann führt sie das durch. WIRKLICH, ich hegen den starken Verdacht, dass die Beiden testen was sie in ihren Channel machen können, ohne mit RR zu kollidieren. In YT sehen sie ja schnell wie viele Klicks sie bekommen und ziehen, hoffentlich, ihre Lehren daraus. RR betreibt einen ziemlichen Aufwand für AJ. Erst Audio-Video, dann Studio life Video und dann auch noch Official music Video.
Wenn AJ also versucht nebenher, relativ günstig in Downtown LA mit einfarbigen Kulissen ein paar Videos zu drehen um herauszufinden wie ihre Angels darauf reagieren, fein, soll sie. Ich hab immer noch den Verdacht, dass AJ sich weh getan hatte und deshalb in "sitzender" Position singt. Na Ja, im Supermarkt gibt es relativ wenig Sessel un Barhocker, also Einkaufswagen. Blöd, aber auch reichlich schräg. Wie gesagt, Onkel Michael kann viel vorschlagen, wenn AJ nicht zustimmt, klapt das nicht.
She sang this as her encore when she supported Nora Jones in Seoul when she was just 10 or 11. She sang live In front of 40,000 Nora Jones fans and you could tell they absolutely adored her ))
I saw that! Unbelievable!
Her being able to make the sounds she needed to make the songs believable was what it took to convince her mother she was ready to audition for AGT, which she wanted to do earlier but her mother would not allow it, but once she crossed that threshold her mother had no other plausible arguments against her auditioning for the show, which she won in a landslide which justifies the decision.
What blows my mind is how driven and passionate Angelina was at a very early age, we’re talking about a 6 year old who was willing to do what she had to do to realize her dream of being a superstar!
_"She's fearless."_ I think this is one of the reasons why Angelina is so good now at the age of 15. Many people are afraid and restrictive about everything. They say to themselves: I can't do this, I can't do that, nobody can top the original, or my voice is not good enough, I'm not talented enough, I'm not ready for the stage yet, what would others think of me, I'll do it later,... But Angelina on the other hand made progress at the speed of light, why, because she was fearless, she tackled everything, she tried many different songs in many different styles, she didn't care what others think of her, she isn't afraid of mistakes, she never thought she wasn't ready yet, she always did what she loved to do, she didn't wait for a 100 takes, she left it at 1-2 takes (quote from her former guitarist), she performed on stage since she was like 7 years old, ... and now look at her, she performs like a pro at the age of 15 already, because she's got all that experience. Basically she's a seasoned artist as a child already!, just as you mentioned. And moreover, she proved that age doesn't matter when it comes to being able to move people with your singing.
Very well said! You nailed it. By not being afraid, she was able to make massive strides at a very young age. And as you said, "now look at her". Better than most of the big names that are twice her age. Boggles my mind to think of what she will be as a grown woman. Mainly because I have trouble imagining how she could be better than she is now.
@@wajj1842 She's perfect as she is of course, but at times she sounds like the child/teenager that she is obiously. Her voice will get fuller and more powerful from this point on, it can only get better as she matures, unless she exerts her vocal chords too much and damages them permanently like Miley Cyrus did. Let's hope not. Well, Miley did a lot of "belting" on stage, unlike Angelina, so it's unlikely that Angelina will overstrain her vocals. On the other hand you'll never know what she will come up next 😄 Maybe she'll do heavier and louder stuff in the future.
@@yiuqwfj I'm not pleased with her TikTok performances, but I understand her need to reach a wider and younger audience. And she's not here to live up to my expectations, nor should she be. When she does a studio production or a music video, they continue to be very classy and professional. Already having a wonderful lower register at such a young age, it will be very interesting to see how that develops as she matures.
@@wajj1842 Anyhow, her voice is unique and that makes a promising artist. Her TikTok recordings are not meant to be taken seriously, especially since they are only short snippets of songs and not professional recordings. But let me ask you just one question: Despite her TikTok performances not being complete and high-quality and all, have you ever seen better a cappella performances from other artists (without autotune)? The fact that she CAN pull it off is actually a reason for me to be very proud of our Angelina! I don't think there are many others who can emulate that deed. Now, if you accompany Angelina's a cappella singing with an instrument or backing track you'll realize that she's often perfectly in tune! It amazes me every time!
Examples: th-cam.com/video/6GJkqpODGuI/w-d-xo.html (I'm a fool to want you)
th-cam.com/video/0wslAjTZFKo/w-d-xo.html (When we were young)
th-cam.com/video/13olv6NRR5g/w-d-xo.html (Mercy)
Secondly, her posts are this girl's way to stay in touch with us, her fans, and greet us. I don't need a perfect recording. She already did many home recordings when she was a little child and shared them with us. You might know of her indoor performance of "My funny Valentine" for instance, the sound quality is bad, but it's extremely touching. Her TikTok posts make me happy, because I can see that she's doing fine. I would look at it from this side. Well that's what I think.
@@yiuqwfj, she is far past your speculated fears and imagined difficulties as a young singer, she is lazer focused on her goals and care for humanity...she is no Miley Cirus or any other singer grasping for fame. I feel many are incapable of grasping the depth of this remarkable young lady.
Probably the most iconic child recording of a song ever. More than a performance, an experience.
Angelina messing around with a new mic singing "I'd Rather Go Blind" while sitting on the couch. My favorite!!!
YOU are on point..ANGELINA is NOT a Singer, she is an ARTISTE PAR EXCELLENCE!!!
That last part was done a cappella, which is also astounding. Angelina also is keeping that 6 beat rhythm, which ain’t easy. She truly is a prodigy.
One reactor/reviewer referred to that last "a cappella' phrase as "opera."
She’s as as rare of a prodigy as Bach or Mozart!
And add to that her phenomenal breath control - throughout the song, but in particular. note that proloooonged last note, for example - her technical ability is other-worldly.
Of the 200 or so singers who have covered this song, you chose to listen to three of the best. And then we have the incomparable Angelina Jordan with my favorite version. Spectacular. Thank you for your reaction.
Do
This little girl was born to melt soulful singers hearts.
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Hey, hey, hey, hey, watch out Josh, she ain't lyin'!!!
At 10, 3 musts are Feelin Good (tv show), Back in Black(with KORK), and the leaked demo ( her masterpiece) Im Still Holding Out For You.
A great one to not miss is 'My Funny Valentine' a cover Composed by Richard Rodgers and the lyrasist, Lorenz Hart in 1937. Angelina is 9 years old yet her performance is stunning. Hopefully Angelina can breath new life into the older yet tremendous song.
Perhaps they will never get lost in time and perish !!
.
Great choice. Make sure you select the correct video. It is the one where she is seated. The sound quality is superior to the other one.
@@jerrylarocque9600 YES. The one seated at home with no mic in hand gets me every time. One of my top 5!!
Here's the one they mean to recommend but didn't find for you: th-cam.com/video/GphgQsjGzDM/w-d-xo.html
@@Membwayne Thanks Wayne. I can't send links b/c YT deletes my comments when I do.
Just wait at age 10 she's got quite a few songs to go through and theyre all just jaw dropping.
Glad you finally got to this one. IMO this is a little piece of music history. Some day when she is a household name and considered one of the greats, we will look back on this one as an example of how she just always had it... even at 9. She has done so many incredible works, and this one is unlike all the others, but this one makes it so obvious that this is a person that is destined for greatness.
Yeah.... what HE said
Hello, Josh. Thank you for continuing your journey of discovering Angelina.
Yes, she was only 9 years old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, and Angelina based her performance on the original, although she did make some subtle alterations to both lyrics and melody.
As you have continued your journey of discovering Angelina, you will have come to realise that she does her own arrangements of most of the cover songs she sings. The differences may not be immediately discernible on first listening, but they are there. There may be a subtle change in tempo or tone, or more inflexion on some words, or a phrase may differ in pitch from the original. The amount of control that Angelina has over her voice cannot be measured. She never hurries a song. She sings in such a way that the emotions in the lyrics are felt by the listener.
In this video, did you notice:Angelina finishing some notes and handing them to the music director, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music. Then there was a brief glimpse of Mery Zamani, a well known and respected Iranian artist, who is also Angelina's maternal grandmother and the person who encouraged Angelina in her love of music, especially jazz. O course, you recognised that there was a picture of Hawkins on the candle she was holding. And the fact that during the last time she sang "because you're mine" she rose on to her toes. Lastly, did you notice how the "performing" Angelina, singing at a level of maturity far beyond her years, suddenly became a 9-year-old child almost instantaneously once she finished singing. From the time I first heard Angelina, way back at her first audition on Norway's Got Talent, she has amazed me.

I think yours is my favorite reaction video to her performance of this. I truly appreciate your comments, AND your genuine awe and appreciation for her gift.
I have seen this video 100 times and at least 100 reviews of it. Never get tired of listening, still gives me shivers.
How can a 9 year old be so completely convincing, so completely believable, with a song like this?
Precisely
I love at the end, how she puts her little hand to her chin, as if to wonder if she did the best she could. lol My favorite thing in quarantine is watching Reactors watch this particular video for the first time. It brings me so much joy. It's like musical theater. Do you remember, in the beginning of the video it shows her making notes, which she calls her "wishes" to present to the Director and he is grinning at her suggestions. My very favorite EVER of this cover. Thank you so much for your very interesting reaction to our Princess Angelina. I am excited for you to get to the little home videos with her and Ivan Mendez (guitar). One of her best ones was actually her just testing out a new microphone. Amazing child. Truly amazing. I suggest jumping ahead for a few songs like her own songs, 7th Heaven, Million Miles and then her cover of Adele's "All I Ask". Just so you can see what she has been doing recently because I believe she's fixing to break out at Republic Records and I think there's going to be alot of excitement.
I'm also fascinated by Angelina who thinks about her performance at the end of the song ❤️
She copies her mom with that little gesture to the chin.See her mom do it in the video from her Portrait of a Child practice session.She is the same age (9),in both.
@@eldridbakk8623 someone that has obviously researched/studied the history of that song. lol I love this performance.
So am I. To me she came back to this world after finishing her singing.
If checking out (or reacting to) “Portrait of a Child”, make sure you look for the “enhanced audio version with English subtitles added”. This video, lovingly enhanced by a creative fan of Angelina’s will allow you to get so much more understanding of Angelina’s modus operandi.
Your reaction is just great! You hit every point. It feels a little scary to me every time I hear what she is doing to her young voice here. But of course Angelina is phenomenally good at the same time. She fills this song with everything he can have and makes it an - incomparable - event.
Coming up soon should be her live performance of Dinah Washington's What a Difference a Day Makes.
That was at age 8.
This one was slightly before and I have my reaction to it out on my channel. Be sure to check my Angelina reactions playlist link in the description. Thanks.
One additional comment: "she is an anomaly" couldn't be more true. And as you progress through your chronological journey you'll hear that she's becoming even more so. I hope to live to hear what she becomes in ten, twenty years.
I have known her and the family since she was a baby. She could sing entire songs at eighteen months.
"I don't care if you don't love me, I'm yours right now." All you have to do is hear that spoken word part of the song and realize that she is mimicking, yes, but she takes what she learns and moves it forward to the next level. And you can hear the new levels that she reaches with almost every birthday.
She's a once in a lifetime talent, a musician's musician, and I know this after performing music for the past 56 years myself. GO ANGELINA.
We love you Angelina ❤❤❤
Big smile on my face a the 5 minute mark: "This guy has done so much preparation, and he thinks he's ready... hahaha."
Good comment on AJ's ear for music, but more than that, she was faithful to the song's *meaning* unlike Annie Lennox and Nina Simone, who just used it as a platform for their vocal talents.

Highly recommend your next reaction: Angelina Jordan (10 Year Old) - Feeling Good "LIVE on The Stream Gives Back"
Great reaction! This is absolutely one of her best recordings! How she can make a show out of a cover, just with her voice, is a mystery to me! She is maybe the most versatile singer out there, in many ways! A chameleon, as you said. Maybe it is too soon for you, but being a classical singer I suspect you to like "Song for A" very much, because of her clear melancholic voice, which sounds very professional!
She is magical, an old soul without a doubt, feeling good with 10 years is incredible, thank you, sdos 🇦🇷 🇦🇷
There has never ever been a child singer who can sing like this. She is that 'one in a billion'
singer who has, from day 1, been able to command excellence in numerous genres but this
is totally insane.
Feeling Good, my absolute favorite I'm Still Holding Out For You. Love your deep reactions.
Don't forget that she started listening to all the jazz greats since before she turned TWO and not just listening .. she wanted to sing with them .. sound like them .. and she was serious from t the start she was serious about it enough to do it hours a day .. getting her grandmother Meri to play a song over and over and over until she could figure out how to truly sound like Ella .. or Etta .. any and all of the classics .. she loved them all.
So she taught herself to adjust her vocal chords and all that goes along with singing .. how to hold her mouth and open the throat and where the tongue goes etc .. until she could sound like them .. and all this was done with passion and unbelievable focus, like few have as adults .. she taught herself to sing in so many ways out of delight and joy. And now we have Angelina .. our beautiful and insanely talented young lady .. who learned passionately from the inside out.
Truly truly truly amazing!
Many thanks Josh. Welcome back! There couldn't be a better excuse to see this once again. So glad you are following Angelina's journey in this way; so many of her performances between 9 and 13 will surprise you! They really do show how she developed through exploring and testing herself in a number of different musical genres.
Oh my goodness, welcome back Josh, did miss you....as you go forward you will be changing your best performance many times. That's the beauty of it. I'm 81, started being amazed a long time ago with Angelina. Great reaction, and looking forward to a lot more from you.....
Angelina can sing anything. This is m y favorite.
Said it over and over Angelina was born to sing...period. And all that comes along with that fact she gives to us. My favorite singer was meant to sing to the world and she felt that at a very young age. We are watching that dream become a reality before our eyes. Angelina is very special and quite the phenom. Thumbs up Josh.
I appreciate your reaction, thank you
You react to a wonderful journey of a wonderful complete artist.
Please react to her newest cover of MJ Billie Jean in her jazzy style. No one did this before in this way. You will forget the original
She is always so delightful, astonishing and carismatic, ....AJ renditions are always impeccable.Thanks
.."impeccable" you say ..it's a bit short .."legendary" would be more accurate.
@@jean-claudeledanois1247 hard to define AJ's singing.thanks
“I’m still holding out for you” surely should be your next reaction. She was 10yo when she recorded that one.
What not so many people knows, is that when Angelina was in pre school age, her mother -on Angelinas demand, took her to the jazz saxophonist Bodhild Niska´s record shop and jazz café, "bare jass" in Oslo - To listen to records of the old masters, or to "lunch concerts" on the small stage in Bodils jazz café. Bodil told that they could be there 3-4 times a week. with Angelina at the age of 5-6 years old listening to the old masters, sometimes for hours. Sadly Bodils jazz café didn´t survive covid lock down. I miss it
Angelina is such a remarkable person, not just because she sings like a goddess of music (if there is such a thing...well there is now); any visit with her is a very special treat, replacing all that nasty rhetoric that seems so abundant in the media of late, with her warm tones from old classics. She rejuvenates my every day and I truly feel blessed every time I get to hear her lovely voice. She keeps me digging for new and different ways to express my love and appreciation for how she sings, what she represents, a single word, love.
I first found out about Angelina through this song over a year ago and I have been a huge fan ever since. Sometimes people describe a singer's voice as a musical instrument. Angelina's voice is not A musical instrument, it is a collection of musical instruments! As you pointed out, her ability to create different tones and sounds is incredible, and to do it with such control especially at the age of 9 ... all you can say, which was the first word you said when the song was done is WOW!!
❤️ 💚 💜 Every time I hear Angelina sing, I picture her stepping out of an old black & white movie, to transport us back in time, so we can fall in love with these genuine masterpieces again! If there ever was a reason to believe in something greater than us, or in reincarnation, Angelina Jordan is definitely it. She truly has the rare ability to connect with us, from her soul to ours, through her music, so we not only hear her magical voice, but also, feel it too. **Really enjoyed your reaction & commentary**
Wonderful reaction and explanation of her skills. Thank you so much. Subscribed for more 🥰 I love her version of a million years ago - Adele cover found on her cover channel with guitarist Ivan Mendez
10 yrs old Angelina live , feeling good.. it great.
timing, vamping, vocal texture, emotion, musical integrity of her arrangement... nothing more to add. Listen to her 12 year old self sitting on a sofa singing 'I'd rather go blind', by Etta James. Listen to 'How great thou art' for her singing in an almost contralto register. Listen to Million Miles live studio version at age 15. Stunning singing from superstar. She is already the superstar she wanted to be as she said at Norway's got talent. I liked your informative reaction. I would prefer to see the artist occupying most of the screen with the reactor in the corner. It is after all the artist who is most important for the audience.
Her amazing performance aside, I hope that you noticed Angelina's lyric notes that the director was reviewing, and her directions that the band was paying attention to.
They referred to her as "the boss". Her arrangements, and original lyrics are maturing along with her voice.
Hi, im nine and me and this kick ass band are going to floor you! You better hold on cuz your brain’s gonna step away for a bit. Hit it🔥
Only 9yr. old I've ever heard that can do the scat scream. She's still amazing!
Great reaction! For me her version (I believe she was the first to ever record this song) of "I'm still holding out for you" (There is a whole story about this song and nobody really knows why it wasn't release but it is probably a copyright issue). She was 10 when she recorded that track and it is absolutely mind blowing. It is one if not the her most professional (or polished) release from her early career. The video a a fan made video so just a juxtaposition of photos and video excerpts from other content from her.
Sir, you know, she STUDIES ALL GENRES OF MUSIC at the music academies of Oslo and now LA. Including Opera.
Are we not the lucky ones who can witness the rise of a star from such a young age? She and all these videos out there are really something for the history book of music! 😊🤗
Awesone reaction and I really enjoyed the whole package: u'r background research, reading the lyrics, on the point comments + analyze. Good job and I really looking towards to follow up u'r Angelina journey! 😆🇸🇪
GODDESS GENIUS OLD SOUL MAGIC!!!!!!!!!!!! MY FAVE VOCALIST OF ALL DAMN TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!⭐️
I really really liked your reaction to this Angelina Jordan “classic”. Your studied “pre-work” before your reaction is very nice! Your video quality is really good too. I loved the sound quality. Your microphone investment is already paying dividend!
You mentioned her great ears. Connected to a brain that's learned to use whatever vocal talents she possesses. She can connect those soooo well. That's the amazing thing, in my mind. Well... with her 30-40 years of singing experience, this is bound to happen, right? ha ha... You used the word "mimic" and that's the right concept but her ability to add in a musicality far beyond Jay Hawkins' best efforts is beyond mimickry. That's why I argue that she's somehow connected ear to brain to all other parts so well.
Welcome to the Congregation of Head Shakers. You are in good company.
Josh great reaction and it is wonderful to have you back reacting to Angelina again. Thank you so very much for providing links to the original video as well as to Angelina's official TH-cam channel. Sadly most viewers don't read the description so it would be great if you were to verbally encourage viewers to show love to the artist by subscribing to their TH-cam channel.
Me reí mucho de tu cara de incredulidad, seguramente la mía era peor cuando vi a Angelina por primera vez y sigo poniendo la misma cara con casi cada tema de ella. Aprecie muchísimo tu reacción. Sabias lo que estabas viendo y lo sentias como pocos.
En mi opinión esta mujercita no solo es cantante, es un genio polifacético monstruoso
I laughed a lot at your incredulous face, surely mine was worse when I saw Angelina for the first time and I still make the same face with almost every subject of her. I really appreciated your reaction. You knew what you were seeing and you felt it like few others.
In my opinion this little woman is not only a singer, she is a monstrous versatile genius
Angelina is amazing. Just that is does her own arrangements is also unbelievable. Love her and can't get enough.
Angelina is definitely channelling Crazy Jay Hawkins and like you said, is the only one who has been able to emulate his performance and his level of 'craziness' on pitch !.Also, the last operatic notes at the end is also a nod to CJH as he was also opera trained. Take a look at her version of of his song 'Portrait of a Man ' and she made it her own to 'Portrait of a Child' . I think she was still 9 years old then . Make sure you upload the video that has been 'fixed up' and subtitled in English so you can understand the directions she giving to her band. This is an absolute treat ,trust me. 🥰🥰 . I look forward to more of your good work and thank you for championing Angelina on your channel.
She just blows me away!
It is a masterpiece! I have always thought about how well she must hear the songs that she is going to do every vowel very consonant every nuance, and she has to have a memory for all of it, then when she sings the song she makes it her own but she adds in some of those nuances to honor the original.
Thank you. Very nice to here your thoughts to this remarkable girl. Looking forward to hear more from you.
I just absolutely love this..... I have always felt your ears hear what they do. The brain just can't compute what you are seeing. Ohh my goodness you need to see Fly me to the moon it was at the end of this video. Summertime, Gloomy Sunday, feelin Good.
Just the fact she is bringing back These classics. Her amazing way. This reincarnated soul. Cheers
Hi Josh, I've enjoyed every one of your reviews of Angelina and maybe this one most of all. btw IMO, this IS the best version of this song. I'm not sure of many videos she did at 9 but there are some real treasures still at 8 and close to 9 with "AT LAST", "What A Wonderful World" (almost 9) at the Nobel Peace Prize concert for Save The Children and "I'll Be There" at a charity event in Sweden for local heroes. Then I believe she was 9 when she recorded a video of "My Funny Valentine" in a chair at home with no mic in hand. Two of my favorites at this young age are rehearsal videos at 9, recorded Dec. 2015 just before 10........ "Writing On The Wall" and "Hello" appear to be done the same day while she is playing piano. I find both of these to be fascinating to get a picture of how she works through a song. Thank you Josh for your thorough and thoughtful reactions!!!
Angelina said this is a song about "desperate love." How can she know these things! You are so right about her being fearless, a fearless explorer of her own voice. How many times she must have listened to Screamin' Jay. And look at the band she has behind her! I love the way she builds it up to a climax in the middle and then back down again. In that ending, you notice she really doesn't need any instrumentation at all to hide behind, to prop her up. You might take a look at her cover Etta James' I Rather Go Blind or Lana Del Rey Born to Die. For chronology, next you should do her 10 year old I Feel Good, either one of the versions, but I like the one in the round with a huge audience. Be well.
A 9 year old, with her own interpretation, arrangement and impossible vocals did this! I lost count of how many great songs performed by some of the greatest artist's she now owns! Because those songs are now hers! You can't really call them covers. When she does them it's something different, something new! "Next Level Event" because "She is"
Thanks for a great reaction!
And yes, both cam and sound is better now 😊
Glad to see you’re back on the AJ track. Great reaction. She is a musical prodigy. Can’t get enough of her voice and emotion. A great one to react to is her live performance of “Feeling Good” at age 10. Here’s a link: th-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/w-d-xo.html
Keep them coming. Thanks.
Feeling Good is one of my faves, too!
IMO this is the best performance ever. Period
How can she do this? easy, nobody has ever told her it's impossible. 😂😂 Seriously, she has just heard stuff and then learnt to replicate it, then she's heard something else and learnt that, and on and on and on she's gone, adding more and more styles Then she's just begun to improvise and alter it to suit what she thinks songs should sound like.
The only comparison I can think of is Mozart. She's the very definition of a generational talent. True genius.
Extraordinary reaction. I miss your reactions to Angelina. I would love if you Continue your journey with Angelina.
I'm just 5 minutes in and my anticipation at your reaction when you experience this marvel is very exciting. I shall see it in a few minutes. I love watching singers and vocal tutors react to Angelina doing this production as clearly it is mind-blowing.
I would have recommended "What A Difference A Day Makes" but you've already reacted to it! She also does "feeling good" which is amazing. But I do look forward to your reaction to "It's A Man's World" at age 12!! Your reactions are wonderful to watch as you have such a good understanding of the voice and how it works. Thanks so much. Most enjoyable!
Nice to see you, Josh. Appreciate all your work in putting together all the parts of your reactions. I know you try very hard to explain how she does the things she does but, it's very difficult, isn't it? In the beginning of the video you saw her hand a piece of paper to the director. It was changes for the piano player. Yes, she already started rearranging classics at 9 years old.
Josh, I could go on and on but let me add the following. I don't believe you have had a chance to get to know her, yet. As wonderful as she is as an artist you will be pleasantly surprised when you find out what an absolutely beautiful human being she is. And, something else. She touches our hearts and, in doing so, she is actually inspiring us to be the best we can be as people. People who have gotten to know Angelina, I ask them the following question, "Since you have discovered Angelina are you a better person, kinder, more caring?" After a short pause, they turn to me and smile. It's remarkable what is going on.
Many voice coaches & singers have been flabbergasted by Angelinas singing🌀
Congratulations brother, you got IT! Did your home work and you see the complete artistry . I agree with everything you expressed. This is the truest tribute to SJH. At nine, HOW,…?! This is the best reaction of this cover, period.
Angelina
The Show Must Go On
How Great Thou Art
You looked so awestruck at the end there, this is my favorite of my favorites that Angelina has done. Pretty much all her work is my favorite of favorites. Glad to see you didn't catch a fly and you came back down to earth to finish your reaction. :)
Angel is The Best.
No cover , is singer perfect.
Welcome back, as I have poor hearing and seldom understand the lyrics in most songs, I followed your ad vice and skipped the reading. To me the human voice is an instrument and Angelina is perfecting hers in every genre. I’ll let some of the real faithful fans make their recommendations, but but don’t miss her indoor and outdoor concerts when she was 10. There are so many great ones.
Other by her worth listening to is Summertime, Stay, and her own version of Amy Winehouse´s Rehab or Back to black. And her own 7:th Heaven
Fearless...perfect description of angelina...
What I love about this video is how at nine she's like the boss of the studio. She's done one or two other recordings of this song that are closer to the Nina Simone version.
Great reaction!
May be you can react to her new jazz cover of Michael Jackson’s song Billie Jean?
It’s amazing!!!😍😍😍😍
Very good to see you Josh! Angelina is always astonishing, especially in those who understand this musical artistic universe, as they manage to assess all the qualifications she offers the world. Great reaction! In this song, in addition to all the resources and capabilities she demonstrates, the word that most defines the moment for me is FREEDOM. She has a powerful soul and free from hindrances. I suggest you in the 10-year-old phase: Feeling good, where there are 2 versions, one live for TV and the other in a public park. I prefer the one on the TV which is a masterpiece of art. Another possibility is I'm holding out for you, which is amazing!! Start with Feeling Good, it will make more sense.
Angelina did an unbelievable cover of How Great Thou Art at 12 y.o. You really need to hear that one.
I see a lot of videos of child singers blindly mimicking adult songs and parroting content that is thematically way too old for them. One gets the idea of stage parents hiding in the corner directing. There's none of that with Angelina. What one sees and hears is a musician, a prodigy if you will, who has directed every aspect of the song's interpretation, who understands the underlying emotion, adding her own multicultural influences at the end. I think that this along with Judy Garland's debut at 13 is perhaps the best recording of a child singing popular music designed for adults. 8 years later, her voice is fulfilled the promise and potential when he was here. I truly believe she has one of the best voices on the planet, and the creativity to express that talent in her own unique way. Finally, she appears to be an exceptionally fine empathetic human being. What more could one want from a true artist?
Join us in the stupefied club Angelina Jordan the girl won Norway's got talent at age 7
You are the first to mention her musical ear; she is reminescent of Brian Wilson in musical genius. She knows what she wants and delivers; the musicians fondly refer to her as "The Boss" and for good reason. Great reaction and great insight.
Talk about interpretation, she is the best and God Bless!
Excellent reaction/analysis Josh, you really gave some insights into this amazing musical prodigy. At this age you could still get an inkling of a child's voice, but most vocal coaches say she reached a fully "adult" voice by 10, where she started cranking out masterpiece after masterpiece. My favorite 10 yo performances are Feelin' Good, Every Time We Say Goodbye, Summertime with KORK Orchestra & I'm Still Holding Out For You. There are lots more masterpiece performances at 10, but the songs aren't my favorites. Looking forward to your next AJ video!
Okay...I haven't even finished your video but I wanted to tell you....I LOVE that you are 1) listening to Angelina songs in order from her age and 2) that you researched what the song is about and different interpretations before listening to Angelina's version.
