There are plenty of vocal coaches who bore you to death with their ability to dissect Angelina's vocal technique. I don't care what you call it, she's magic, period.
I never liked Jazz until Angelina, she’s a World Treasure. I like the way her family helps her dream especially her Grandmother, whom got her to fall in love with the old time Jazzy tunes👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰❣️
Yes, the more recent rehearsal version sounds better to my ears, too. But my favorite vocal version of this standard is Tony Bennett’s. First of all, the whole song is there, with the beginning free-form part which has the lyrics that explain the rest of the song. And the vocals are stunning, although the arranging sounds dated in places. But we all have our own ears 😉 th-cam.com/video/pdJ0zMv4N4o/w-d-xo.html
Jazz has always been regarded as a musicians music and Angelena certainly does it in style even at that young age. Every song that Angelina sings is always spectacular and she makes every song her own by putting her stamp on it. Her ear for music is on another level and she always delivers total perfection. Thank you for a very great detailed reaction and it would appear that you are now addicted to Angelinas artistry.
She sang this at 8 years old for her debut on American TV. It’s not as polished as this one because she’s so young, but it’s mind boggling that an eight year old could sing that well before a national audience. Her young performances are all captivating. And young, for Angelina, means under 10. I felt that when she reached 10, she was no longer an amazing child singer, but just one of the best singers I ever heard. Since you like the vibe of Fly Me to the Moon by Angelina, you should listen to her performance, at 10, of Feelin Good. She’s backed by a big band, and her version is jaw dropping. It’s vintage Angelina: completely at ease, mature presentation, vocal pyrotechnics, and her own new arrangement of a classic jazz piece. Definitely one of her best earlier songs.
Yes, her performance was dazzling, spectacular, it's technical execution is a thing of beauty. Now having said all of this, which you Sir, did so much better than myself. There's the matter of the video itself. You touched on it but for some reason, I feel the need to elaborate a bit more. The beauty and the impact of this video's cinematography is worthy of a high level of praise. The concept and overall execution are of truly cinematic quality. If one wants to convey the sense of sweet, pure innocent vulnerability, along with true and pure romance, I cannot think of any better imagery than this video. A pretty girl with long hair, wearing a dress. The length and color of the dress beautifully expresses the girls innocence and modesty. The adolescent girl is no longer a child though not yet a woman. Still, she is child like. This is conveyed in the way she leads her horse down the unspoilt beach. Then the way she plays, barefoot in the sand and water. As she plays the water and sand, ever so slightly spoil the bottom of her dress. This speaks to her new feelings and her not being sure what they mean or what she's to do about them. So she expresses in song what she only understands enough to want. This song was written from such a place, and Angelina's rendition embodies it [the song] perfectly.
I'm enjoying watching your reactions. Angelina's performances on Norways Got Talent at age 7 are AWESOME. She performed Gloomy Sunday I'm a Fool to Want You (accapella) Bang Bang Summertime See you on the next reaction. ❤
Angelina has an immense catalog. Google her name and a famous musical icon, , she probably covered them, listen and be wowed! You can't go wrong with AJ.
You need to go way back and listen to her first official appearance on Norway's Got Talent as well as her performance of Summertime in that show. And then, What A Difference a Day makes in Norway or maybe it was Sweden.
It was in Norway at the fortress in Halden near the Swedish border. The Show is called: Allsang på grensen (sing along at the border) AJ has several good performances at this event over the years. 🙂
I really recomend you this song "I'm Still Holding out for You"(th-cam.com/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/w-d-xo.html) . It could not be called "cover" because it was recorded as a demo for the writer of the song, Baby Fuzz. You’ll probably read why this is not a song Angelina has released because of the dark lyrics. I understand that and applaud how her family has guided her in her overall values and development. After the demo i suppose that her family and her decided not to released. Baby Fuzz decide to sing by himself. This Angelina's demo was leaked a few time ago after Baby Fuzz released the song and he said he never heard thar demo before. Man, there are no words for how good this is song. It’s impossible to hear this song even once and not realize that it’s a masterpiece of voice, style, and interpretation. It’s haunting, sorrowful, and beautiful all at the same time. And Angelina recorded this at ten years old. Ten! I hope you react to this song. It is amazing. Best regard. I love your reactions!
There is two directions you can take from here: the final song she sang on Norway’s Got Talent where she sang “Summertime” with a great open trumpet which showed her amazing talent and bring tears to the judges or another of her own adaptation of the Mamas ant the Pappas, California Dreamin’. It illustrates she can make any song her own. After that, as she just released her own song, “7th Heaven” it is easy to see she has stayed true to her jazz roots.
I think it's not vocal fry (which she actually can produce at other times more easily than most people), but a combination of an almost hoarse breathiness, a vibrato (slightly change of pitch up and down) and a tremolo (slightly oscillating the volume). She discovered so much in her voice and knows/senses how she can use it musically, it's just brilliant! Same kind of thing for her lyrical 'understanding'! A genius with emotion if you ask me
Her voice is like a multicolored light that beautify the atmosphere. She can sing any kind of music from the beginning till now. She is blessed with an angelic voice. Amazing, amazing, amazing. Suggestions, you should check the other version that she did with a jazz band
Bohemian Rhapsody or her version of Fly me to the Moon a year or so earlier on The View I think you'll be impressed with how differently she interprets it. she has mutiple versions of some others too and she never does the same song the same way. each time it's new.
You can't miss what you don't know exists. I never considered such a warm, rich, deep yet light, full bodied, welcoming voice being delivered so beautifully like Angelina Jordan Astar was even possible.
It just occurred to me that her diction is excellent. Who do we owe this to? AJ's ear as we know it is excellent, her parents and teachers, or is it listening to the greats of ages gone by, when we could hear and understand every word being sung.
I did not catch on to this on my first viewing of this video, but now I see that this rather unusual beach was meant to be a setting similar to the Moon, hence the title of the song “fly me to the moon“!
Thank you very much for another Angelina Jordan reaction. I would to see you reacting to her version of "Everytime we say goodbye" when she was 10 years old.
You said the phrase of the week "She lives here" She does, and we all feel exactly how you do? something to think about, yes? By the way, at least a dozen still that will shake your foundation. Can't wait to see the expressions on your face and the tears that WILL fall!
I just started watching your reaction videos as I am a huge Angelina Jordan fan as are so many around the world. Thank you for your wonderful reactions. They are a delight to watch. Your question as to which video to watch next is difficult and easy to answer as you could close your eyes, throw a dart and each and every song of hers will delight you. One of my favorites out of so many is Angelina's second appearance in AGT when she covers Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Please keep reacting to her and your followers will grow. I promise.
Angelina has always been about the voice. She was born to sing thereby what ever she chooses to do with that voice is IMHO all natural. You sir are very enjoyable as a reactor. Thumbs up again.
When Angelina sings, it touches our hearts, soothes our spirit, & calms our souls 💚 💙 💜 Love your review, commentary, & your honest emotions.......Thank You, this made my day 😊
I had to interrupt your reaction before it got started just to let you know how appreciative I am of your thorough research (or recall😳) that you do investigating the origins/artists, and other performers of the covers that Angelina sings. Your reactions are so informative. That you bring something more to the table pushes you to the top echelon of reactors. 👍 Let’s continue, shall we?... 😉😬
Angelina performing live at the Alan Walker concert. It is definitely different from what your getting uses to. Also, her cover of "Here Comes The Sun" is very nice.
Angelina sang the Sinatra version, (Quincy Jones arrangement), which is much different than this one as you noted, at Quincy Jones' 85th birthday celebration in London in 2018. Here is a sound enhanced rehearsal video prior to the performance (copy and paste in TH-cam search block) Angelina Jordan - Fly Me To The Moon - Quincy Jones - 2018 (rehearsal video/best concert sound). Quincy personally invited Angelina and said she reminded him of a young Michael Jackson. Quite a compliment I'd say. BTW, this video you reacted to was produced by her grandma Mery Zamani.
Her timing and musicality is almost eerie. Ill read somewhere that She explained it as she goes to another place in her mind when she sings. React to im a fool to want you from Norway got talent. A Capella. 7/8 years old. Ridiculous. And Summertime with KORK Symphony from 2016.
OMG if you love her unique vibrato you must check out her cover of Rihanna's Stay. That's where she uses her unique vibrato in its best form to deliver the intended emotion to the listeners. It's magnificent. This is my number one Angela's performance.
I have tried to listen to others, but no other singer can grab my heart and soul and take me somewhere that I could never explain where it was, but I never wanted to come back, does that make any sense?
I first Heard her singing the cover of screamin' j hawkins I put a spell on you when she was 7 or 8 years old.It still amazes me.She is 15 now and truly a great singer,putting her personal stamp on so many covers and writing her own songs,performing them beautifully.thank you and take care.
She gave her shoes away to a homeless girl and the girl so appreciative asked what Angelina wanted to do when she grew up.. Angelina said she wanted to sing for the world.. The street girl prayed for her.. What a prayer..Now it makes sense.. She is other worldly, a pure miracle.. Now she wears no shoes.. Everything about her is storybook and enchanting..
Angelina's single "Fly Me to the Moon" and the album she did with The Staff Band of the Norwegian Armed Forces, "It's Magic" shows up from time to time on the Itunes Jazz charts.
Angelina has a cover of a rehearsal day piece called When You Wish Upon a Star. This song is with her much used backup Band of mature jazz musicians. What’s compelling about it , is, a total free form, cut, with extreme closeups of Angelina, especially the eyes and a really tasty guitar player solo. Really fun to see. Peter
Fly me to the Moon has certainly been one of Angelina's favourite songs. Here, I feel, is one of her best interpretations, we are a little distracted by the visuals. Her Grandma tends to have a good deal of input into the artistic interpretation of the video, here, I imagine it's supposed to be spring on Mars, the salt lake setting likely a good vision of Mars a billion years ago. You say "she lives here", in two ways, in this genre of music, and as the salt lake could well be in California, she now lives in LA. As a 10 year old Angelina has produces a number of memorable performances, even with Fly me to the Moon, later in this USA trip she made an advert for LinkedIn, at the Log Cabin studios in New York, on that occasion she did the Quincey Jones arrangement - ala Frank Sinatra, she simply gave us extra with the dynamics, to make it more of her own. Perhaps you could do another 10 year old performance for your next reaction: Just before this USA trip - on a roof top in Oslo - Every Time we say goodbye - another acoustic backing, smoother than silk! th-cam.com/video/KRSI8HmTHJA/w-d-xo.html After returning from the USA trip Feeling good - big band th-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/w-d-xo.html
I just discovered your channel and it is awesome. Your broadcast voice is very soothing. Your feedback is knowledgeable as well. Angelina is one of a kind. Her phrasing is impeccable and her vibrato is very pleasing. I have listened to a lot of her work and have yet to be disappointed. Keep up the good work sir, I will be watching your channel a lot.
I love your reaction! It’s particularly interesting that you pointed out Angelina’s trailing vibrato (my term, not a legit music term 😬). Ceci Dover, another reactor and among the best, focused on the same thing. Ceci is a professional jazz singer/coach from Barcelona, and she has mentioned that this characteristic is unique to Angelina. She has attempted to replicate it and says she just can’t. Like yours, Ceci’s reactions are exuberantly joyous and incredibly informative. She has a huge following among Angelina fans, and I suspect your reactions will reach the same level of interest and popularity in no time. Thank you for this reaction. I always leave more knowledgeably than when I started. I share your awe at Angelina’s other-worldly abilities. I was in awe the first time I heard her too. By now you’ve found that you can’t go wrong selecting your next Angelina performance, but two of my favorites are “Shield” and “Moon River”. Shield is an early song Angelina co-wrote, and Moon River you’ll certainly recognize as a cover of an Andy William’s tune. Moon River displays a totally different mood than we’ve come to expect... exquisitely done, of course!
This is a terrific comment and I am in complete agrreance with everything you mentioned , particularly about the 'trailing ' vibrato & how even the marvellous CeCi cannot replicate it.
Like the comment above this one you must hear her sing What a Difference a Day makes in Norway. There are no words, no words, to describe how incredible that was, and still is. Promise me you will find that and listen to it.
Another wonderful reaction MrLB....her vocal techniques and understanding of what she wants to do with any song is simply amazing, and here at 10 years old. Grandma Mery Zamani created this video as with many many others and just beautiful.. Grandma is a huge influence in Angelina's life, especially her Jazz roots which she totally embodies. Look forward to your next one.
Excellent insights, again!!! I love your Angel-ina reactions 💛 it's wonderful to watch her work her soul connect into another soul...I personally would love your reaction on Angel-ina 6 years old in a small studio (not sure but I believe school) please correct me fellow Angels...she is singing 'I who have nothing' 💓 you will absolutely love it and your mind will be blown...like every song actually but she's young in this one...plus there's a video of her singing in a mic at 1.5 yrs old...love love love Angel-ina 💗 😇 thank you 😊 very much!
Hi MrLboyd I am enjoying your reactions to angelina jordan I heard you say you would like to hear her sing some of her own music she has only released 4 of her own compositions .The one I would recommend is the most recent, released in Mar 2021 titled "7th Heaven" studio version. It is an upbeat jazzy song with a beat reminiscent of the 1960's"Fever" song.
I press like before play.. 😁 Not only because of Angelina but also because I know I can expect a good and insight full reaction. If you like Frank Sinatra version, as arranged by Quincy Jones you should check out the version on pa1189j chanel, from QJ 85th birthday party at the O2 arena. 😉
English is her third language after Norse and Farsi. She said in an interview that while learning English, . She would "mumble". Some of that still shows up in her pronunciation.
What a voice
UNA MUÑEQUITA HERMOSA....NO SE PUEDE CREER QUE DE UNA NIÑA SALGA UNA VOZ Y UNA INTERPRETACION PERFECTA 😇👣👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯💯💥👍👍👍❤❤❤
she's our new jazzy queen
There are plenty of vocal coaches who bore you to death with their ability to dissect Angelina's vocal technique. I don't care what you call it, she's magic, period.
I m A Fool TO Want You a cappella 7 years I m A Fool To Want You 13 years live studio.Love Angelina.Thanks for your reaction
She hits a depth in my heart no has ever touched Even at 7 8 9 she touches places no singer ever has TRULY MAGICALLY AMAZING🌟🌟🌟
Those strong, heavy, deep notes at that age... is unheard of. Crazy...
Even though I have been following Angelina's career and her TH-cam posts for years, I still shake my head and wonder, "How is this possible"?
AJ, one of THEE sweetest soul to ever grace our planet...Great reaction my friend. Cheers..
Just can't seem to hear enough of her "style". God given for sure.
She is a gift from God!
Angelina signature song. You seem to love Sinatra, please check her cover of « You Make Me Feel So Young »...
You should get a load of her latest masterpiece MY FUNNY VALENTINE. YOU WILL BE BLOWN AWAY!! Literally!! ❤️❤️❤️
I never liked Jazz until Angelina, she’s a World Treasure. I like the way her family helps her dream especially her Grandmother, whom got her to fall in love with the old time Jazzy tunes👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰❣️
She lives here. Well said faraway friend 👏
Angelina will touch your heart!
Not bad for sing in her second language. Angelina always put her own spin on it. Thank you.
Acoustic and in the city on top of a roof. 😳😇 singing every time we say goodbye. It’s a very good fav,, of mine 😎🇨🇦
Angel.ina😇🙏❤️
Her rehearsal of this song for Quincy Jones 85th BD is the very best Fly Me To Moon I have ever heard ! Thanks for this reaction !!
I agree and she was 12 at that time...
Absolutely!!!!!
Yes, the more recent rehearsal version sounds better to my ears, too.
But my favorite vocal version of this standard is Tony Bennett’s. First of all, the whole song is there, with the beginning free-form part which has the lyrics that explain the rest of the song. And the vocals are stunning, although the arranging sounds dated in places. But we all have our own ears 😉

She knows how to execute a song and delivers 100% and beyond. It doesn't matter what her age was. She was an old soul in a kid's body.
Now she's an old soul in an older body.
Autumn Leaves is a must
Love this version, one of my favourite AJ covers.
Thanks Wonderful
The BEST comment I ever read was - "God created Angelina Jordan so He could listen to her sing"
That is so true. I love her soulful voice. ❤
Like me he listens over and over.
Are you a godder?
She sang this at 8 years old for her debut on American TV. It’s not as polished as this one because she’s so young, but it’s mind boggling that an eight year old could sing that well before a national audience. Her young performances are all captivating.

I second this "Feeling Good" th-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/w-d-xo.html
I’m loving your reactions to Angelina!!!👍🏼💕🤗🎼
Listen to Holding Out for You. Sooo good!!
She does a live performance of this on the View in 2014. Age 8. She is amazing. As always, a great reaction.
I’m so happy you chose this one. Great reaction. I’m here to stay as well.
She is an amazing human with an incredible gift. When she sings, old songs become new. Her originals are inspiring.
Just WOW!
Angelina has an almost instinctive sense of cadence and inflection throughout this performance-she just kills it! Her rehearsal perforn
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ I'm over the moon every time I listen to Angelina!
Yes, her performance was dazzling, spectacular, it's technical execution is a thing of beauty.
Now having said all of this, which you Sir, did so much better than myself. There's the matter of the video itself.
You touched on it but for some reason, I feel the need to elaborate a bit more. The beauty and the impact of this video's cinematography is worthy of a high level of praise. The concept and overall execution are of truly cinematic quality.
If one wants to convey the sense of sweet, pure innocent vulnerability, along with true and pure romance, I cannot think of any better imagery than this video.
A pretty girl with long hair, wearing a dress. The length and color of the dress beautifully expresses the girls innocence and modesty. The adolescent girl is no longer a child though not yet a woman. Still, she is child like. This is conveyed in the way she leads her horse down the unspoilt beach.

This song was written from such a place, and Angelina's rendition embodies it [the song] perfectly.
I'm enjoying watching your reactions. Angelina's performances on Norways Got Talent at age 7 are AWESOME. She performed
Gloomy Sunday
I'm a Fool to Want You (accapella)
Bang Bang
Summertime
See you on the next reaction. ❤
Angelina has an immense catalog. Google her name and a famous musical icon, , she probably covered them, listen and be wowed! You can't go wrong with AJ.
Feeling Good. There is a rendition when she is at an outdoor concert.
Thank you!
She brings new life to Jazz.
You need to go way back and listen to her first official appearance on Norway's Got Talent as well as her performance of Summertime in that show. And then, What A Difference a Day makes in Norway or maybe it was Sweden.
It was in Norway at the fortress in Halden near the Swedish border.
The Show is called: Allsang på grensen (sing along at the border)
AJ has several good performances at this event over the years. 🙂
I really recomend you this song "I'm Still Holding out for You"(th-cam.com/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/w-d-xo.html) . It could not be called "cover" because it was recorded as a demo for the writer of the song, Baby Fuzz. You’ll probably read why this is not a song Angelina has released because of the dark lyrics.

With Angelina every phrase, word, and syllable is a masterpiece of heartfelt art.
Her voice is like a multicolored light that beautify the atmosphere. She can sing any kind of music from the beginning till now. She is blessed with an angelic voice. Amazing, amazing, amazing.
Suggestions, you should check the other version that she did with a jazz band
Bohemian Rhapsody or her version of Fly me to the Moon a year or so earlier on The View I think you'll be impressed with how differently she interprets it. she has mutiple versions of some others too and she never does the same song the same way. each time it's new.
You can't miss what you don't know exists. I never considered such a warm, rich, deep yet light, full bodied, welcoming voice being delivered so beautifully like Angelina Jordan Astar was even possible.
"When You're Smiling". That is a beautiful little video featuring Angelina.
It just occurred to me that her diction is excellent. Who do we owe this to? AJ's ear as we know it is excellent, her parents and teachers, or is it listening to the greats of ages gone by, when we could hear and understand every word being sung.

She's got that Billie Holiday sound. Love it!
Her grandmother usually films her videos. She sang quite a few good ones at age 10
Thank you very much for another Angelina Jordan reaction. I would to see you reacting to her version of "Everytime we say goodbye" when she was 10 years old.
You said the phrase of the week "She lives here" She does, and we all feel exactly how you do? something to think about, yes? By the way, at least a dozen still that will shake your foundation. Can't wait to see the expressions on your face and the tears that WILL fall!
So glad you found the bare foot princess thank you
I just started watching your reaction videos as I am a huge Angelina Jordan fan as are so many around the world. Thank you for your wonderful reactions. They are a delight to watch. Your question as to which video to watch next is difficult and easy to answer as you could close your eyes, throw a dart and each and every song of hers will delight you.

Let’s continue, shall we?... 😉😬
Nicely said. I concur. Let's continue shall we?
...performance for Quincy Jones at his 85th birthday gala in London, 2018 (when she was 12) is even more refined than this...thanks for your reaction!
Angelina performing live at the Alan Walker concert. It is definitely different from what your getting uses to.
Also, her cover of "Here Comes The Sun" is very nice.
Angelina sang, Fly Me To The Moon, on, The View, when she was 8. Slightly different version but equally impressive.

He should react to this one, it's a little more grown up version and beautiful.
Her timing and musicality is almost eerie. Ill read somewhere that She explained it as she goes to another place in her mind when she sings.
React to im a fool to want you from Norway got talent. A Capella. 7/8 years old. Ridiculous. And Summertime with KORK Symphony from 2016.
OMG if you love her unique vibrato you must check out her cover of Rihanna's Stay. That's where she uses her unique vibrato in its best form to deliver the intended emotion to the listeners. It's magnificent. This is my number one Angela's performance.
I am number 399 to LIKE 💚
Another great reaction.. Truly appreciated. Angelina is music. A quote from NGT judge after her appearance on Norway talent show. Incredible.
I go back to the movie (color purple) the river boat jazz club, her and jazz!!! WOW
I have tried to listen to others, but no other singer can grab my heart and soul and take me somewhere that I could never explain where it was, but I never wanted to come back, does that make any sense?
I first Heard her singing the cover of screamin' j hawkins I put a spell on you when she was 7 or 8 years old.It still amazes me.She is 15 now and truly a great singer,putting her personal stamp on so many covers and writing her own songs,performing them beautifully.thank you and take care.
She gave her shoes away to a homeless girl and the girl so appreciative asked what Angelina wanted to do when she grew up.. Angelina said she wanted to sing for the world.. The street girl prayed for her.. What a prayer..Now it makes sense.. She is other worldly, a pure miracle.. Now she wears no shoes.. Everything about her is storybook and enchanting..
Angelina's single "Fly Me to the Moon" and the album she did with The Staff Band of the Norwegian Armed Forces, "It's Magic" shows up from time to time on the Itunes Jazz charts.
I look forward to your reaction/reviews/analysis. i find your content reliably insightful.
The downward slope vibrato you mentioned reminds me of Louis Armstrong. I'm having a good time following your streak of Angelina reactions, way to go!
Angelina has a cover of a rehearsal day piece called When You Wish Upon a Star. This song is with her much used backup Band of mature jazz musicians. What’s compelling about it , is, a total free form, cut, with extreme closeups of Angelina, especially the eyes and a really tasty guitar player solo. Really fun to see. Peter
You might really the version she sang to Quincy Jones at his 85th birthday gala he personally invited her to sing for him, she was 12at the time.
Fly me to the Moon has certainly been one of Angelina's favourite songs. Here, I feel, is one of her best interpretations, we are a little distracted by the visuals. Her Grandma tends to have a good deal of input into the artistic interpretation of the video, here, I imagine it's supposed to be spring on Mars, the salt lake setting likely a good vision of Mars a billion years ago.

Perhaps you could do another 10 year old performance for your next reaction:

I just discovered your channel and it is awesome. Your broadcast voice is very soothing. Your feedback is knowledgeable as well. Angelina is one of a kind. Her phrasing is impeccable and her vibrato is very pleasing. I have listened to a lot of her work and have yet to be disappointed. Keep up the good work sir, I will be watching your channel a lot.
I love your reaction! It’s particularly interesting that you pointed out Angelina’s trailing vibrato (my term, not a legit music term 😬).
Ceci Dover, another reactor and among the best, focused on the same thing. Ceci is a professional jazz singer/coach from Barcelona, and she has mentioned that this characteristic is unique to Angelina. She has attempted to replicate it and says she just can’t. Like yours, Ceci’s reactions are exuberantly joyous and incredibly informative. She has a huge following among Angelina fans, and I suspect your reactions will reach the same level of interest and popularity in no time.
Thank you for this reaction. I always leave more knowledgeably than when I started. I share your awe at Angelina’s other-worldly abilities. I was in awe the first time I heard her too.
By now you’ve found that you can’t go wrong selecting your next Angelina performance, but two of my favorites are “Shield” and “Moon River”. Shield is an early song Angelina co-wrote, and Moon River you’ll certainly recognize as a cover of an Andy William’s tune. Moon River displays a totally different mood than we’ve come to expect... exquisitely done, of course!
This is a terrific comment and I am in complete agrreance with everything you mentioned , particularly about the 'trailing ' vibrato & how even the marvellous CeCi cannot replicate it.
watch her sing this live on the View tv show at 8 yrs old!!!!
Have you listened to her AGT audition yet? Awesome!!
Awesome
Suggestion: Doing the Billie Holiday version of I'm a Fool to Want You, at Norway's Got Talent, 7/8 years old, accapella. Will blow your mind..
As a Sinatra fan you'll want to check Angelina's cover of "My Way." aka Cognitive Dissonance, the musical
Like the comment above this one you must hear her sing What a Difference a Day makes in Norway.
There are no words, no words, to describe how incredible that was, and still is.
Promise me you will find that and listen to it.
ANGELINA JORDON.
I just wanted to say, you have a very nice voice
Another wonderful reaction MrLB....her vocal techniques and understanding of what she wants to do with any song is simply amazing, and here at 10 years old. Grandma Mery Zamani created this video as with many many others and just beautiful.. Grandma is a huge influence in Angelina's life, especially her Jazz roots which she totally embodies. Look forward to your next one.
More!
Excellent insights, again!!! I love your Angel-ina reactions 💛 it's wonderful to watch her work her soul connect into another soul...I personally would love your reaction on Angel-ina 6 years old in a small studio (not sure but I believe school) please correct me fellow Angels...she is singing 'I who have nothing' 💓 you will absolutely love it and your mind will be blown...like every song actually but she's young in this one...plus there's a video of her singing in a mic at 1.5 yrs old...love love love Angel-ina 💗 😇 thank you 😊 very much!
Hi MrLboyd I am enjoying your reactions to angelina jordan I heard you say you would like to hear her sing some of her own music she has only released 4 of her own compositions .The one I would recommend is the most recent, released in Mar 2021 titled "7th Heaven" studio version. It is an upbeat jazzy song with a beat reminiscent of the 1960's"Fever" song.
Do "Every Time We Say Goodbye", Oslo TV station rooftop, 10 years old. Stunning.
Stay - A Million Years Ago - Born to Die - any of these
I press like before play.. 😁
Not only because of Angelina but also because I know I can expect a good and insight full reaction.
If you like Frank Sinatra version, as arranged by Quincy Jones you should check out the version on pa1189j chanel, from QJ 85th birthday party at the O2 arena. 😉
Here her sing feeling good and summertime Angelina Jordan and gloomy Sunday and at last by Etta James
English is her third language after Norse and Farsi. She said in an interview that while learning English, . She would
"mumble". Some of that still shows up in her pronunciation.
Listen to “I’m still holding out for you”...
i think the best performance by anggie is at last (etha james). try next time.
