Hi JVB, as a vocal coach can you give your opinion on when Angelina’s voice will peak and how will it be better than this? I can’t imagine! Fabulous reaction..can’t wait for Bad Valentine 🙏
Not sure if I mentioned this before but as some others say you must watch "Bad Valentine" an original song by Angelina and Toby Gad but you need to find it on James Thiels TH-cam channel. He has the only video approved by the copyright owner for viewing. Love the acapella start of this version. Great reaction
YES!!! This girl can do NO wrong whatsoever it seems. The arrangements are brilliant which she handles a lot of that I read. She's really growing up fast eh? She could sing the dictionary and I would listen to it. Great reaction for sure. You look ready to hit the stage! Cheers 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🤟🤟🤟👏👏👏
I love this version of HER song. The acapella start takes this to a different level. I'm glad they did this taking advantage of the natural acoustics of the church. You should also do the Piano Diaries version as that one will be the release version. Toby Gad is quoted saying, “Working with Angelina has been nothing short of inspiring. Her ability to channel profound emotion through her voice adds a whole new depth to the song.”
I got tickled when your mouth was hanging open listening to Angelina singing this. You didn’t mention that the whole first part was a cappella and every note was perfect. The previous video released she didn’t have an a cappella part so that you couldn’t hear the echoes from the rafters like you can in this take. She and Toby have collaborated on eight more songs already finished, and she just announced another concert in September in LA. Apparently it is going to be all new songs that she and Toby have cowritten.
Love listening to you Jacqueline with your music knowledge. I really appreciate your expertise. I love listening to AJ videos with you. She is special and I feel so lucky to be living during her prime sing 15:30 days. One last thing, how is it that Angelina never sang at the Grammy’s or won some Grammy’s
If I Was A Boy, written by BC Jean and Toby Gad, originally sang by Jean later Covered by Beyoncé, Toby Gad mentioned that he chose Angelina to reinvent his song, he mentioned Angelina has the emotional attachment he is is looking for, Angelina and Toby are working on new material together which is exciting for us angels,there are several renditions by Angelina,one being Angelina’s music video where she is gracing the streets of London U k singing this song, Angelina and Toby dropped a new original called ( Bad Valentine) which is phenomenal, Toby on piano in this performance, great reaction thanks 🙏
What astounds me is Angelina's ability to carry a melody a cappella then arrive perfectly in tune when the instruments come in. Her talent comes along once in a generation. I just hope she is taking enough time to rest her voice because I want her to have a long, long career. She's a precious person! PS. I'd love to see your reaction to Angelina, at 11 yro, singing "Something's Got a Hold On Me": th-cam.com/video/TCc4Yjri3pc/w-d-xo.html
Angelina flexes her music muscle a wee bit here. To me, it's like she was singing 'cursive style' to a song that I only know from a 'printed style' performance. Her voice is like audio calligraphy. (you sparkle more than you know)
Thank you Jacqueline you are always great with AJ , Yes a stunning heartfelt masterpiece, she has always been amazing but just gets better and better, Toby Gad on the piano was the original writer of this song with BC jean , Beyonce had a hit with it, Toby asked Angelina to sing this song as part of a re-imagining of some of his songs, asked what it was like working with Angelina , "It has been nothing short of inspirational she has the ability to channel profound emotion through her voice and has brought a greater depth to this song" they have been working together on new songs for some time he loves her .he has been Angelinarised like the rest of us. 💜👣😇
When you combine the best interpreter of lyrics I’ve ever heard with the best voice I’ve ever heard, the result is pretty stunning. And she can do this across multiple genres. Treat yourself to a completely different Angelina in a jazzy, bluesy performance with some real attitude: watch Bad Valentine, an original by Angelina and Toby. The performance was live at a small jazz club. Angelina really lets go on this one, and it’s a song everyone is going to remember for a long time. Here’s the link: th-cam.com/video/yTjzhPSVguc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JOD2jaUyNtbTIb8p
Tobi Gad, co-writer of the song and pianist in this performance, chose AJ specifically to re-interprete this song for his "Piano Diaries" album, available now. There's another version with more pop instrumentation designated the 'official music video'. We also know he and Angelina are working on even more to be released in the next couple months. Should be a treasure chest of material for reactors.
@tomrogers1305 From a recent interview with Toby, he started working with Angelina when she was 16. They completed 8 songs prior to the release of her Old Enough EP. None of those songs ended up on the EP. One of them, Bad Valentine, will finally be released soon.
Loved your reaction so much. Please check out bad VALENTINE her and Toby Gad wrote together .look forward to it. I like it a little more than this song. Both are amazing ❤❤ ❤
First of all Jacqueline you look stunning! Loved your reaction to AJ’s “If I Were a Boy”. She is just magnificent! The next video should be “ Unchained Melody “ from her performance at the Noble Peace Prize with the KORK orchestra. It’s one of her best performances. Also “Bad Valentine “ is great also 😁😁😁♥️♥️😁😁
The song was written by BC Jean and Toby Gad and sung by BC Jean. Beyoncé later covered it and the song became world famous. Angelina Jordan now upgraded it.
Tolle Reaktion für die sehr gute Zusammenarbeit von AJ und dem Deutschen (Tobias) Toby Gad, der als Mitautor von ‚If I were a boy‘, John Legends ‚All of me‘ Fergies ‚ Big girls don‘t cry usw einige Grammies erhalten hat. Er lud AJ ein für sein Album Piano diaries If I were a boy neu zu interpretieren. Er arbeitet mit AJ zusammen und sie werden demnöchst einige Lieder veröffentlichen. Ein Vorgeschmack davon ist ‚Bad Valentine‘ das sie in einem Hotelcafe live gespielt hatten. Das Video wurde mit Erlaubnis von Toby zur Veröffentlichung frei gegeben. Empfehlenswert was sie dort auf die Bühne brachten. Gänsehaut pur.
Vielen Dank!!!! Aber jetzt muss ich mehr über Toby lernen, der ist ja voll Hammer. Kenn die songs alle und ich frue mich auf Seine Zusammenarbeit mit Angelina! LG
@@jacquelinevanbierk Er hatte unter anderm im Juni im Londoner Palladium einen Auftritt mit AJ, die dort If I were a boy sang. Er erzählte die Geschichte, wie der Song entstanden ist. BC Jean war diejenige, die die Erfahrungen mit einem Jungen machte, den sie liebte und der mit ihr Schluss machte. Daraufhin sagte sie zu Toby als sie zu einer Pizzeria gingen, if I were a boy then... und Toby meinte..vergiss die Pizza..das ist ein Songtitel...lass uns das weiterspinnen. ;-) BC Jean war dann auch die erste, die das Lied sang und Bejonce wollte ihn dann haben.
Thank you Jacqueline, you look wonderful and what a wonderful reaction to our young lady Angelina. This is live with no filters, mixing or production, straight up raw and beautiful vocals along with the acoustics of this cathedral...icing on the cake. Cheers, stay well Jacqueline. 🥰🥰
Nice reaction! On the piano is the co-writer of the song, Toby Gad. Just to let you know, the other co-writer of the song, BC Jean, was the first to sing the song as well as the person the song came from. The man that she was in love with had just broken up with her. Per Toby, he played it for Beyonce one day and she really wanted to sing and use this song, and the rest you say is history. Angelina and Toby have been working together for a while now and are creating new music for her to sing. Toby okayed the release of an unreleased song with Angelina called Bad Valentine and it is a BANGER! th-cam.com/video/yTjzhPSVguc/w-d-xo.html This collaboration is awesome! The Piano Diaries is Toby's project of other singers singing his most famous songs. Angelina of course is singing this song made famous by Beyonce. There is actually an official music video for If I Were A Boy on her official TH-cam Channel. The music is a bit different, more commercial and pop sounding, but still great. You should see it to hear the difference! th-cam.com/video/_rJ-HlsTsyM/w-d-xo.html Who is Toby Gad? Gad is a German music producer and songwriter based in Los Angeles. He is known for co-writing songs including John Legend's biggest hit, "All of Me", the fifth-highest certified single in RIAA history, and for co-writing and producing "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie and "If I Were a Boy" by Beyoncé. Other notable works include "Skyscraper" for Demi Lovato, "Who You Are" for Jessie J, "Untouched" for The Veronicas, "A Year Without Rain" for Selena Gomez & the Scene, "Don't Hold Your Breath" for Nicole Scherzinger, "Love You More" for JLS, and "I Do" for Colbie Caillat.
Angelina is always a strong woman over the years with amazing Songs. She shows us how a relationship has to be successful. Please listen to her latest Bad Valentine, the continuation of this lyrics 💞 with again a most powerful emotional voice. And be happy, they announced a new concert in LA, 20th September with the premiere of her new Songs 👍🙏💞
Love your take on Angelina, life too. I think what comes from inside is as stunning as her physical talent. You will be shocked when you do "Bad Valentine"---I guarantee it. I think it is the only time I have heard her sing a song as "the bad guy". Lots of sass and attitude, a little more belting--live, set to strings and piano. I have never heard her like this. I will leave a link. James Thiel's awesome site has an authorized video of this performance. th-cam.com/video/yTjzhPSVguc/w-d-xo.html Her Vegas concert was fabulous. If you do any use James Thiel and BigAngieFan channels. I will request my favorite (dying to see what you think of it) as it is the best version of an Adele song--including Adele--I have ever heard. She opened her eyes, scanned the crowd and smiled after singing the first line to applause---you knew something special was headed your way. I live for the chorus in that song and it was magnificent. th-cam.com/video/yTjzhPSVguc/w-d-xo.html Knowing your outlook there is one video that will melt you. I think this defines Angelina. After this opening performance of "Diamonds Are Forever" she speaks to her "Angels" and reveals in it who she is. If you are ever feeling down just listen to this. It is Joey Farr's extended version--he also has some good AJ stuff. th-cam.com/video/uKNyMfwFEBc/w-d-xo.html All the best.
"There's way more emotion in her voice than Beyonce". It's like saying milk is thicker than water 😊The cracks at the end, fry and rasp......Just a masterpiece!
If I Were A Boy Angelina Jordan's rise in the music industry is a testament to her exceptional talent and unique voice. From a young age, she has captivated audiences with her soulful performances and mature musical understanding. Her ability to connect with listeners and deliver performances with emotional depth is unparalleled. As she continues to grow as an artist, her influence extends beyond the charts, inspiring a new generation of musicians and music lovers alike. With each performance, she reaffirms her status as a prodigious talent in the world of music. AJ' s ability to imbue each song with deep emotion and her own distinctive style makes her a sought-after artist for songwriters and composers. Having a song performed by her can be seen as a mark of prestige, potentially elevating the song's reach and impact. It's a testament to her talent that songwriters might feel that having her interpret their work would bring a new level of recognition and appreciation to their music. Beyonce' version of "If I Were A Boy" was good, but AJ's version gives one chills and causes us to cry, not sad tears but happy emotional tears of joy. This is no longer a Beyonce song; it now belongs to AJ who can take any song and give it meaning.
I never thought it would be possible to love the pure class of artist as much as I do with Angelina , I have followed all the greats over the years, but Angelina just tops them all with an extra dimension I can't actually explain. Lovely reaction.
❤️❤️❤️❤️👣 This is one of two versions she sang in this setting. Another version has music throughout and is also magnificent. Then there is a version with her walking through London streets. Then, there are three versions at small venues, one backstage during an interview with Toby and Angelina. All are fantastic. This version was called the acapella version.
AJ and Toby Gad have written a new song!**** The collaboration between Toby Gad and Angelina Jordan has sparked excitement with the announcement of their new original song "Bad Valentine." The anticipation for its release is high, especially after their recent performance at the Hotel Cafe. While the exact release date has not been officially announced, fans eagerly await the new material, which promises to showcase Jordan's unique vocal talents alongside Gad's renowned songwriting skills. Their previous work together, coupled with Jordan's powerful rendition of "If I Were a Boy," suggests that "Bad Valentine" will be another significant addition to her growing repertoire. The music community is abuzz with speculation and enthusiasm for this upcoming release.
Angelina transforms other peoples songs as she makes them her own. Her original songs are amazing right out of the gate & her emotive skills are off the charts! Great reaction Jacqueline!

Thanks 🙏? She deserves it a thousand times over 😀!
Thanks for the beautiful reaction Jacqueline. Her voice... I don't know how to define she anymore, it's simply a continuous amazement of warm and powerful tones, whispers and breaths, accompanied by phrasing techniques and musical dynamics that she has always had, but which she is developing in a wonderful way as she goes by of time and is truly addictive. What can I say, this is a new and fantastic live version of the song, with the wonderful echoes of the church that make it even more magical her voice, I would listen endlessly to her wonderful and powerful voice with that incredible low register of her and those wonderful progressions, I admire her fantastic musical sensitivity more and more, it seems impossible, but every song, simple or complex, which she rediscover becomes a new and splendid song. For me she is simply unique and with an incredible melodic perception. I love this composed and passionate performance, it's absolutely healing for the soul but even so crossed by an incredible musical power and structure, I love when in the second part, the soft background accompaniment of the piano and cello gives a wonderful and silky backdrop at her incredible voice. 💛🧡❤
Yes breath taking is the word for angela jordan as far as a singing goes just like you can describe jvbs breathtaking signing ability or jvbs breathtaking German beauty who agrees with me here? Wintersun Alex in Texas ♥️❄️
I enjoyed your reaction to Angelina. Toby Gad is a multi Grammy award winning songwriter and producer. He has produced award-winning hits for many of the biggest superstars in the music industry, including names like Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, Demi Lovato, Beyoncé, and more. He has recently produced an album of his top songs called Piano Diaries. As co-writer, he invited Angelina to perform If I Were a Boy with him at piano, and with cello. It was also released with a music video, but many prefer the piano version. The song was originally made famous by Beyoncé in 2008, and has received over 600 million views. Most believe Angelina's version is much more intimate and emotional, and she has reimagined it rather than covered it. Toby and Angelina also have been working on some original music, the first of which is a pre-release that you are reacting to. Bad Valentine is a jazzy, soulful, and powerful song that is perfectly suited for Angelina's voice. I think it has great potential to be the launching pad for the next phase of Angelina's career. Toby Gad is very influential in the industry and this collaboration is undoubtedly a huge break for Angelina.
Thank you so much! She definitly took this song to a whole other level. I always loved the song, now even more so ;) Toby is amazing and I can't believe that I didn't know about him because I know all the artists he's worked with. I'm excited to dig more into his work, he's fantastic and I'm excited to listen to Bad Valentine. She's on her way to blow up big time, So well deserved!
Jacqueline Only my opinion as a music lover 💖 🎸 🎹 🎺🎻🎷and singer 😲 now exactly 50 years of gospel / jazz 🎷🎺/ pop R&B! I am now 68 years young in August 😊! "Angelina" now 18 years old and "Dimash" now 30 years old two true! real! loving ♥️! emotional❤️🔥! passionate💥 angels! 😇 😇who always tell a story when they sing like angels 😇 😇! with heart ♥️ and soul ✨️✨️ The 2 best singers in the world 🌍 😊!! Angelina is the best female jazz 🎷🎺🎸singer 👸 😲 🎙 She can sing all styles of music 🎶! And the best male singer 🤴😲🎙is Dimash! He sings the highest 😲 🎼 notes that can't be found on any piano 🎹 anymore! And very low too! Two true angels 😇😇 on earth 🌍😊!
Just as you think Angelina's voice development has reached a plateau she gets better. And yes she has grown up to be stunningly beautiful...and I bet she will get more and more beautiful just as her voice keeps getting better and better.❤❤❤❤👣
JVB many thanks for another wonderful reaction and analysis to Angelina Jordan. She just announced she will be debuting new music at a concert in Los Angeles on September 20. I am hoping that means she will be singing new songs off her first full album on Republic Records, live for the first time. We can hope right??
Yes Andy definitely 🎉😂 New music on something "tangible" like a physical CD release. Will you be able to attend Sept 20? Look fwd to meeting you. Loved your A- Aron appearance. Loved to see Jacqueline and Juliet at AJ's 9-20 show ❤️ Cheers🍻
Glad you may be able to attend. It will be great to see as many Angels and as many AJ reactors as possible. I agree as some have alluded this is AJ's true "Moment in Time" ... that is that pre-stardom cusp of potential worldwide phenomenon that we all recognize in her. Cheers 🍻
Thank you JVB for another wonderful reaction and most importantly informative commentary ! Your comments are truly heartfelt and I love your feedback on Angelina's vocals ! Angelina is so good at giving the lyrics real meaning and she just hypnotizes you into her world ! So emotionally charged vocals that go straight to your heart ! Keep posting my friend. You are so much appreciated by the Angels all over the world. For sure. I would suggest if you get a chance to listen to her.new song with Toby Gad called" Bad Valentine." at Hotel Cafe !!It's an absolutely mind-blowing new song that really gravitates back to Angelina's jazzy bluesy style that she is so well known for! Sending much thanks and love from Canada always 👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️
I just listened to your song “In This Together “ Jacqueline. Excellent song! I really enjoyed your voice and the music. It’s a beautiful song. Congratulations 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Hey fraulein I was just stating the obvious about your breath taking vocals and your German beauty your welcome. Much love Wintersun Alex in Texas ❄️♥️
If I Were A Boy (Acapella start version) Angelina Jordan's acapella performance of "If I Were A Boy" exemplifies the profound impact that a stripped-down musical arrangement can have on an audience. The absence of instrumentation allows her voice to fill the space with raw emotion, creating an intimate atmosphere that draws listeners into the narrative of the song. There is a moment captured at 54 seconds into the video, where cellist Paul Grennan is seen completely absorbed by Jordan's voice, is a beautiful representation of the deep connection that can exist between musicians and their craft. Such moments highlight the essence of musical expression, where the focus is solely on the purity of the sound and the story it tells. This kind of authenticity in performance not only showcases Jordan's vocal talent but also the symbiotic relationship between vocalist and instrumentalist, making it a truly captivating experience for those who witness it.
What an amazing musical pairing with Angelina and the pianist, who wrote the song. AJ and Toby are working on several original scores, one of which was performed at an informal venue last month. It's called BAD VALENTINE. th-cam.com/video/yTjzhPSVguc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hLA4E8Aja_vDyJyO
Although this song was made famous by Beyonce, this song was neither written by nor for Beyonce, so not her cover. This was co-written by Toby Gad and BC Jean for BC Jean and co writer Toby Gad asked Angelina to re-invent the song for him. Tobias "Toby" Gad (born 28 March 1968) is a German music producer and songwriter based in Los Angeles. He is known for co-writing songs including John Legend's biggest hit, "All of Me", the fifth-highest certified single in RIAA history, and for co-writing and producing "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie and "If I Were a Boy" by Beyoncé. Other notable works include "Skyscraper" for Demi Lovato, "Who You Are" for Jessie J, "Untouched" for The Veronicas, "A Year Without Rain" for Selena Gomez & the Scene, "Don't Hold Your Breath" for Nicole Scherzinger, "Love You More" for JLS, and "I Do" for Colbie Caillat. In the third quarter of 2014, Gad was ranked the #3 songwriter in America by Billboard, behind Ryan Tedder and Pharrell Williams.
Great synopsis of Mr. Gad's musical genius, now in collaboration with Ms. Jordan's mastery of lyricism and empathic vocal-ism, legendary music will be created. ♾Rb
When you react to Bad Valentine, please be aware that it is a follow up to Now I’m the Fool, and if you watch the version with lyrics, the line should read “I thought I told you I would mess up girl, I warned you right from the start”, not what is posted on the video. They are two songs about unrequited love written from opposite perspectives by Angelina Jordan. Everyone assumes Jordan is the bad valentine because she starts out singing “I stood you up on Valentines”. Go back and listen to Now I’m the Fool, which she sings in a hurt, feminine voice, and then immediately listen to Bad Valentine, which she sings in a strong, more masculine voice and see what you think. Only this young genius would think to write two songs about the same love relationship from the perspectives of both people in the relationship, and sing both parts herself!
By the way, absolutely no one gets the meaning of Bad Valentine. They all think Jordan is the bad valentine and is the one doing the breaking up because they don’t get the connection with Now I’m the Fool!
If you like the "new" Angelina here, you'll love her original (also with Toby Gad) "Bad Valentine": th-cam.com/video/yTjzhPSVguc/w-d-xo.html. Great reaction!
Wow Jacqueline! Love your reaction to this Angelina cover. I have listened to all your AJ reactions more than 7 to 8 times each. I believe your first reaction to AJ was a Queen tune “ The Show Must Go On” and it was an excellent reaction 👍🏼♥️. Do you have a video of you singing to a microphone? What I mean is just you and a microphone.
@@jacquelinevanbierk I would love to hear it if you can find it. Have you done any other artist covers ? Have you reacted to any tracks from the “Motels “?
if she were a boy, that dress probably wouldn't fit quite as well, but maybe that's just me....Toby is the piano player and the author of this song, who was recreating some of his best songs for a careet retrospective...He specifically wrote the song Bad Valentine for her, and while the official video has not been released yet, there are vids of it on TH-cam...My guess is that an official video will be released before her September 20 concert in LA.
Check out Bad Valintine. Another of her song she just came out with.
TOBY GAD on the piano is co writer of this song. There working together.
Hi JVB, as a vocal coach can you give your opinion on when Angelina’s voice will peak and how will it be better than this? I can’t imagine! Fabulous reaction..can’t wait for Bad Valentine 🙏
Great to see you! Every song Angelina does is fabulous, but "Bad Valentine" is insane and much better IMO.
Not sure if I mentioned this before but as some others say you must watch "Bad Valentine" an original song by Angelina and Toby Gad but you need to find it on James Thiels TH-cam channel. He has the only video approved by the copyright owner for viewing. Love the acapella start of this version. Great reaction
YES!!! This girl can do NO wrong whatsoever it seems. The arrangements are brilliant which she handles a lot of that I read. She's really growing up fast eh? She could sing the dictionary and I would listen to it. Great reaction for sure. You look ready to hit the stage! Cheers 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🤟🤟🤟👏👏👏
I have been waiting for you to react to Angelina's "Bad Valentine" w/ Toby Gad! You will LOVE that one!!! Love your reactions! ♥👣👸
I can't wait!
@@jacquelinevanbierk Girl, Bad Valentine is SO GOOD, beyond words, but she does it EVERY time.
I love this version of HER song. The acapella start takes this to a different level. I'm glad they did this taking advantage of the natural acoustics of the church. You should also do the Piano Diaries version as that one will be the release version. Toby Gad is quoted saying, “Working with Angelina has been nothing short of inspiring. Her ability to channel profound emotion through her voice adds a whole new depth to the song.”
Fantastic voice
I got tickled when your mouth was hanging open listening to Angelina singing this. You didn’t mention that the whole first part was a cappella and every note was perfect. The previous video released she didn’t have an a cappella part so that you couldn’t hear the echoes from the rafters like you can in this take. She and Toby have collaborated on eight more songs already finished, and she just announced another concert in September in LA. Apparently it is going to be all new songs that she and Toby have cowritten.
Love listening to you Jacqueline with your music knowledge. I really appreciate your expertise. I love listening to AJ videos with you. She is special and I feel so lucky to be living during her prime sing 15:30 days. One last thing, how is it that Angelina never sang at the Grammy’s or won some Grammy’s
She’s having a Concert in L.A. on September 20th🎉❤
If I Was A Boy, written by BC Jean and Toby Gad, originally sang by Jean later Covered by Beyoncé, Toby Gad mentioned that he chose Angelina to reinvent his song, he mentioned Angelina has the emotional attachment he is is looking for, Angelina and Toby are working on new material together which is exciting for us angels,there are several renditions by Angelina,one being Angelina’s music video where she is gracing the streets of London U k singing this song, Angelina and Toby dropped a new original called ( Bad Valentine) which is phenomenal, Toby on piano in this performance, great reaction thanks 🙏
What astounds me is Angelina's ability to carry a melody a cappella then arrive perfectly in tune when the instruments come in. Her talent comes along once in a generation. I just hope she is taking enough time to rest her voice because I want her to have a long, long career. She's a precious person!
PS. I'd love to see your reaction to Angelina, at 11 yro, singing "Something's Got a Hold On Me": th-cam.com/video/TCc4Yjri3pc/w-d-xo.html
Angelina flexes her music muscle a wee bit here. To me, it's like she was singing 'cursive style' to a song that I only know from a 'printed style' performance. Her voice is like audio calligraphy. (you sparkle more than you know)
Thank you Jacqueline you are always great with AJ , Yes a stunning heartfelt masterpiece, she has always been amazing but just gets better and better, Toby Gad on the piano was the original writer of this song with BC jean , Beyonce had a hit with it, Toby asked Angelina to sing this song as part of a re-imagining of some of his songs, asked what it was like working with Angelina , "It has been nothing short of inspirational she has the ability to channel profound emotion through her voice and has brought a greater depth to this song" they have been working together on new songs for some time he loves her .he has been Angelinarised like the rest of us. 💜👣😇
When you combine the best interpreter of lyrics I’ve ever heard with the best voice I’ve ever heard, the result is pretty stunning. And she can do this across multiple genres. Treat yourself to a completely different Angelina in a jazzy, bluesy performance with some real attitude: watch Bad Valentine, an original by Angelina and Toby. The performance was live at a small jazz club. Angelina really lets go on this one, and it’s a song everyone is going to remember for a long time.
Here’s the link: th-cam.com/video/yTjzhPSVguc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JOD2jaUyNtbTIb8p
This rearrangement is pure Angelina Jordan!
Tobi Gad, co-writer of the song and pianist in this performance, chose AJ specifically to re-interprete this song for his "Piano Diaries" album, available now. There's another version with more pop instrumentation designated the 'official music video'. We also know he and Angelina are working on even more to be released in the next couple months. Should be a treasure chest of material for reactors.
@tomrogers1305 From a recent interview with Toby, he started working with Angelina when she was 16. They completed 8 songs prior to the release of her Old Enough EP. None of those songs ended up on the EP. One of them, Bad Valentine, will finally be released soon.
@@pjg58x thanks. I did see that interview. Wish I could understand how rhat came about but felt my comment stood on its own.
Very, very good reaction, Jacqueline 🙂 Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
Loved your reaction so much. Please check out bad VALENTINE her and Toby Gad wrote together
.look forward to it. I like it a little more than this song. Both are amazing ❤❤ ❤
That was unbelievable,and so is her next song bad valentine,you must react to,it’s a must.Charles
One of our favorite reactors. Thank you for the AJ review.
A once successful pop song was upgraded with Angelina's version to an emotional masterpiece 👣💯AJ💯👣
Perfectly said!
First of all Jacqueline you look stunning! Loved your reaction to AJ’s “If I Were a Boy”. She is just magnificent! The next video should be “ Unchained Melody “ from her performance at the Noble Peace Prize with the KORK orchestra. It’s one of her best performances. Also “Bad Valentine “ is great also 😁😁😁♥️♥️😁😁
What a great reaction! Reactors who are also singers themselves, always can pull out the nuances of AJ. Marvelous!
The song was written by BC Jean and Toby Gad and sung by BC Jean. Beyoncé later covered it and the song became world famous. Angelina Jordan now upgraded it.
What an incredible rendition of the song and may I say you look fabulous Jacqueline 😍
Thanks so much!!!!
Visceral and Ethereal at the same time! Low and resonant then High and soaring...dynamic contrast to the max! So amazing...
Its been reported that Angelina has a concert coming in September in LA with a lot of new music...
September 20, 2024 @ Alex Theatre, Glendale
Hi 👋 loved your reaction, can’t wait till you listen to her new song Bad Valentine
Tolle Reaktion für die sehr gute Zusammenarbeit von AJ und dem Deutschen (Tobias) Toby Gad, der als Mitautor von ‚If I were a boy‘, John Legends ‚All of me‘ Fergies ‚ Big girls don‘t cry usw einige Grammies erhalten hat. Er lud AJ ein für sein Album Piano diaries If I were a boy neu zu interpretieren. Er arbeitet mit AJ zusammen und sie werden demnöchst einige Lieder veröffentlichen. Ein Vorgeschmack davon ist ‚Bad Valentine‘ das sie in einem Hotelcafe live gespielt hatten. Das Video wurde mit Erlaubnis von Toby zur Veröffentlichung frei gegeben. Empfehlenswert was sie dort auf die Bühne brachten. Gänsehaut pur.
Vielen Dank!!!! Aber jetzt muss ich mehr über Toby lernen, der ist ja voll Hammer. Kenn die songs alle und ich frue mich auf Seine Zusammenarbeit mit Angelina! LG
@@jacquelinevanbierk Er hatte unter anderm im Juni im Londoner Palladium einen Auftritt mit AJ, die dort If I were a boy sang. Er erzählte die Geschichte, wie der Song entstanden ist. BC Jean war diejenige, die die Erfahrungen mit einem Jungen machte, den sie liebte und der mit ihr Schluss machte. Daraufhin sagte sie zu Toby als sie zu einer Pizzeria gingen, if I were a boy then... und Toby meinte..vergiss die Pizza..das ist ein Songtitel...lass uns das weiterspinnen. ;-) BC Jean war dann auch die erste, die das Lied sang und Bejonce wollte ihn dann haben.
Thank you Jacqueline, you look wonderful and what a wonderful reaction to our young lady Angelina. This is live with no filters, mixing or production, straight up raw and beautiful vocals along with the acoustics of this cathedral...icing on the cake. Cheers, stay well Jacqueline. 🥰🥰
Thanks so much!!! Angelina's talent is mind blowing!
And fraulein i love your glittery jacket for this analysis ive Never seen it before is it new ? Wintersun Alex in Texas ❄️♥️
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Nice reaction! On the piano is the co-writer of the song, Toby Gad. Just to let you know, the other co-writer of the song, BC Jean, was the first to sing the song as well as the person the song came from. The man that she was in love with had just broken up with her. Per Toby, he played it for Beyonce one day and she really wanted to sing and use this song, and the rest you say is history. Angelina and Toby have been working together for a while now and are creating new music for her to sing. Toby okayed the release of an unreleased song with Angelina called Bad Valentine and it is a BANGER! th-cam.com/video/yTjzhPSVguc/w-d-xo.html This collaboration is awesome! The Piano Diaries is Toby's project of other singers singing his most famous songs. Angelina of course is singing this song made famous by Beyonce. There is actually an official music video for If I Were A Boy on her official TH-cam Channel. The music is a bit different, more commercial and pop sounding, but still great. You should see it to hear the difference! th-cam.com/video/_rJ-HlsTsyM/w-d-xo.html
Who is Toby Gad? Gad is a German music producer and songwriter based in Los Angeles. He is known for co-writing songs including John Legend's biggest hit, "All of Me", the fifth-highest certified single in RIAA history, and for co-writing and producing "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie and "If I Were a Boy" by Beyoncé. Other notable works include "Skyscraper" for Demi Lovato, "Who You Are" for Jessie J, "Untouched" for The Veronicas, "A Year Without Rain" for Selena Gomez & the Scene, "Don't Hold Your Breath" for Nicole Scherzinger, "Love You More" for JLS, and "I Do" for Colbie Caillat.
Hi Jackeline!! We missed you!
The song that you were talking about is “Gloomy Sunday at her audition for Norse Got Talent at age 7!!!!
Angelina is always a strong woman over the years with amazing Songs. She shows us how a relationship has to be successful.
Please listen to her latest Bad Valentine, the continuation of this lyrics 💞 with again a most powerful emotional voice.
And be happy, they announced a new concert in LA, 20th September with the premiere of her new Songs 👍🙏💞
It was not just good, but it is great. This performance gave me goose bumps.
I think each and every Angelina interpretation elicits goosebumps at some time in her rendition.
Love your take on Angelina, life too. I think what comes from inside is as stunning as her physical talent. You will be shocked when you do "Bad Valentine"---I guarantee it. I think it is the only time I have heard her sing a song as "the bad guy". Lots of sass and attitude, a little more belting--live, set to strings and piano. I have never heard her like this. I will leave a link. James Thiel's awesome site has an authorized video of this performance.
th-cam.com/video/yTjzhPSVguc/w-d-xo.html
Her Vegas concert was fabulous. If you do any use James Thiel and BigAngieFan channels. I will request my favorite (dying to see what you think of it) as it is the best version of an Adele song--including Adele--I have ever heard. She opened her eyes, scanned the crowd and smiled after singing the first line to applause---you knew something special was headed your way. I live for the chorus in that song and it was magnificent.
th-cam.com/video/yTjzhPSVguc/w-d-xo.html
Knowing your outlook there is one video that will melt you. I think this defines Angelina. After this opening performance of "Diamonds Are Forever" she speaks to her "Angels" and reveals in it who she is.
If you are ever feeling down just listen to this. It is Joey Farr's extended version--he also has some good AJ stuff.
th-cam.com/video/uKNyMfwFEBc/w-d-xo.html All the best.
She is NOT the bad valentine. It’s the follow up to Now I’m the Fool, written from the opposite perspective!
Great reaction Jacqueline! Just wait when you see what's coming
"There's way more emotion in her voice than Beyonce". It's like saying milk is thicker than water 😊The cracks at the end, fry and rasp......Just a masterpiece!
If I Were A Boy
Angelina Jordan's rise in the music industry is a testament to her exceptional talent and unique voice. From a young age, she has captivated audiences with her soulful performances and mature musical understanding. Her ability to connect with listeners and deliver performances with emotional depth is unparalleled. As she continues to grow as an artist, her influence extends beyond the charts, inspiring a new generation of musicians and music lovers alike. With each performance, she reaffirms her status as a prodigious talent in the world of music. AJ' s ability to imbue each song with deep emotion and her own distinctive style makes her a sought-after artist for songwriters and composers. Having a song performed by her can be seen as a mark of prestige, potentially elevating the song's reach and impact. It's a testament to her talent that songwriters might feel that having her interpret their work would bring a new level of recognition and appreciation to their music. Beyonce' version of "If I Were A Boy" was good, but AJ's version gives one chills and causes us to cry, not sad tears but happy emotional tears of joy.
This is no longer a Beyonce song; it now belongs to AJ who can take any song and give it meaning.
I never thought it would be possible to love the pure class of artist as much as I do with Angelina , I have followed all the greats over the years, but Angelina just tops them all with an extra dimension I can't actually explain. Lovely reaction.
Great reaction and thumbs up to you 👍 this rendition is full of emotion ,Angelina looks like she is living the lyrics as she sings this and it is live
❤️❤️❤️❤️👣 This is one of two versions she sang in this setting. Another version has music throughout and is also magnificent. Then there is a version with her walking through London streets. Then, there are three versions at small venues, one backstage during an interview with Toby and Angelina. All are fantastic. This version was called the acapella version.
AJ and Toby Gad have written a new song!****
The collaboration between Toby Gad and Angelina Jordan has sparked excitement with the announcement of their new original song "Bad Valentine." The anticipation for its release is high, especially after their recent performance at the Hotel Cafe. While the exact release date has not been officially announced, fans eagerly await the new material, which promises to showcase Jordan's unique vocal talents alongside Gad's renowned songwriting skills. Their previous work together, coupled with Jordan's powerful rendition of "If I Were a Boy," suggests that "Bad Valentine" will be another significant addition to her growing repertoire. The music community is abuzz with speculation and enthusiasm for this upcoming release.
Please Welcome to the Stage - Ms. Angelina Jordan - Friday - September 20th, 2024 - The Alex Theatre - Glendale, CA. 7PM - Must See!
I had some Mushroom Tea a few times... Can't say I had mushroom Coffee.. But the Tea sure packed a punch. :)
haha, the different kind of tea ;)
Love your reaction including your comments on the lyrics and their meaning particular to women.

Thanks for the beautiful reaction Jacqueline. Her voice... I don't know how to define she anymore, it's simply a continuous amazement of warm and powerful tones, whispers and breaths, accompanied by phrasing techniques and musical dynamics that she has always had, but which she is developing in a wonderful way as she goes by of time and is truly addictive. What can I say, this is a new and fantastic live version of the song, with the wonderful echoes of the church that make it even more magical her voice, I would listen endlessly to her wonderful and powerful voice with that incredible low register of her and those wonderful progressions, I admire her fantastic musical sensitivity more and more, it seems impossible, but every song, simple or complex, which she rediscover becomes a new and splendid song. For me she is simply unique and with an incredible melodic perception. I love this composed and passionate performance, it's absolutely healing for the soul but even so crossed by an incredible musical power and structure, I love when in the second part, the soft background accompaniment of the piano and cello gives a wonderful and silky backdrop at her incredible voice. 💛🧡❤
Angelina is on loan from Heaven.-
Yes breath taking is the word for angela jordan as far as a singing goes just like you can describe jvbs breathtaking signing ability or jvbs breathtaking German beauty who agrees with me here? Wintersun Alex in Texas ♥️❄️
Thank you :)
I enjoyed your reaction to Angelina. Toby Gad is a multi Grammy award winning songwriter and producer. He has produced award-winning hits for many of the biggest superstars in the music industry, including names like Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, Demi Lovato, Beyoncé, and more. He has recently produced an album of his top songs called Piano Diaries. As co-writer, he invited Angelina to perform If I Were a Boy with him at piano, and with cello. It was also released with a music video, but many prefer the piano version. The song was originally made famous by Beyoncé in 2008, and has received over 600 million views. Most believe Angelina's version is much more intimate and emotional, and she has reimagined it rather than covered it.
Toby and Angelina also have been working on some original music, the first of which is a pre-release that you are reacting to. Bad Valentine is a jazzy, soulful, and powerful song that is perfectly suited for Angelina's voice. I think it has great potential to be the launching pad for the next phase of Angelina's career. Toby Gad is very influential in the industry and this collaboration is undoubtedly a huge break for Angelina.
Thank you so much! She definitly took this song to a whole other level. I always loved the song, now even more so ;) Toby is amazing and I can't believe that I didn't know about him because I know all the artists he's worked with. I'm excited to dig more into his work, he's fantastic and I'm excited to listen to Bad Valentine. She's on her way to blow up big time, So well deserved!
I agree with your reaction. Bad valentine aj new song is a must.
🥰
Jacqueline Only my opinion as a music lover 💖 🎸 🎹 🎺🎻🎷and singer 😲 now exactly 50 years of gospel / jazz 🎷🎺/ pop R&B! I am now 68 years young in August 😊! "Angelina" now 18 years old and "Dimash" now 30 years old two true! real! loving ♥️! emotional❤️🔥! passionate💥 angels! 😇 😇who always tell a story when they sing like angels 😇 😇! with heart ♥️ and soul ✨️✨️ The 2 best singers in the world 🌍 😊!! Angelina is the best female jazz 🎷🎺🎸singer 👸 😲 🎙 She can sing all styles of music 🎶! And the best male singer 🤴😲🎙is Dimash! He sings the highest 😲 🎼 notes that can't be found on any piano 🎹 anymore! And very low too! Two true angels 😇😇 on earth 🌍😊!
Just as you think Angelina's voice development has reached a plateau she gets better. And yes she has grown up to be stunningly beautiful...and I bet she will get more and more beautiful just as her voice keeps getting better and better.❤❤❤❤👣
Can’t wait Jacqueline ! It will be epic!
Rock on, JVB. 🤘😊👍
Thank you 😊😊
JVB many thanks for another wonderful reaction and analysis to Angelina Jordan. She just announced she will be debuting new music at a concert in Los Angeles on September 20. I am hoping that means she will be singing new songs off her first full album on Republic Records, live for the first time. We can hope right??
Yes Andy definitely 🎉😂 New music on something "tangible" like a physical CD release. Will you be able to attend Sept 20? Look fwd to meeting you. Loved your A- Aron appearance. Loved to see Jacqueline and Juliet at AJ's 9-20 show ❤️ Cheers🍻
@@terryellsworth5848 I am planning on attending
Glad you may be able to attend. It will be great to see as many Angels and as many AJ reactors as possible. I agree as some have alluded this is AJ's true "Moment in Time" ... that is that pre-stardom cusp of potential worldwide phenomenon that we all recognize in her. Cheers 🍻
Tickets are currently on sale through Eventbrite and Angelina’s website
Thank you JVB for another wonderful reaction and most importantly informative commentary ! Your comments are truly heartfelt and I love your feedback on Angelina's vocals ! Angelina is so good at giving the lyrics real meaning and she just hypnotizes you into her world ! So emotionally charged vocals that go straight to your heart ! Keep posting my friend. You are so much appreciated by the Angels all over the world. For sure. I would suggest if you get a chance to listen to her.new song with Toby Gad called" Bad Valentine." at Hotel Cafe !!It's an absolutely mind-blowing new song that really gravitates back to Angelina's jazzy bluesy style that she is so well known for! Sending much thanks and love from Canada always 👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️
❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉Aj🎉😊love you
I just listened to your song “In This Together “ Jacqueline. Excellent song! I really enjoyed your voice and the music. It’s a beautiful song. Congratulations 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
She will have a concert in LA 20. sept. With new own songs Like Bad valentine❤
Hey fraulein I was just stating the obvious about your breath taking vocals and your German beauty your welcome. Much love Wintersun Alex in Texas ❄️♥️
If I Were A Boy (Acapella start version)
Angelina Jordan's acapella performance of "If I Were A Boy" exemplifies the profound impact that a stripped-down musical arrangement can have on an audience. The absence of instrumentation allows her voice to fill the space with raw emotion, creating an intimate atmosphere that draws listeners into the narrative of the song. There is a moment captured at 54 seconds into the video, where cellist Paul Grennan is seen completely absorbed by Jordan's voice, is a beautiful representation of the deep connection that can exist between musicians and their craft. Such moments highlight the essence of musical expression, where the focus is solely on the purity of the sound and the story it tells. This kind of authenticity in performance not only showcases Jordan's vocal talent but also the symbiotic relationship between vocalist and instrumentalist, making it a truly captivating experience for those who witness it.
... demonstrating the power of Song !!!
What an amazing musical pairing with Angelina and the pianist, who wrote the song. AJ and Toby are working on several original scores, one of which was performed at an informal venue last month. It's called BAD VALENTINE.

❤❤❤💯👋👋👋
Love it 😍
next A Thousand Years covered by Cakra Khan,.....a younger CK 👍🤯
Although this song was made famous by Beyonce, this song was neither written by nor for Beyonce, so not her cover. This was co-written by Toby Gad and BC Jean for BC Jean and co writer Toby Gad asked Angelina to re-invent the song for him. Tobias "Toby" Gad (born 28 March 1968) is a German music producer and songwriter based in Los Angeles. He is known for co-writing songs including John Legend's biggest hit, "All of Me", the fifth-highest certified single in RIAA history, and for co-writing and producing "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie and "If I Were a Boy" by Beyoncé. Other notable works include "Skyscraper" for Demi Lovato, "Who You Are" for Jessie J, "Untouched" for The Veronicas, "A Year Without Rain" for Selena Gomez & the Scene, "Don't Hold Your Breath" for Nicole Scherzinger, "Love You More" for JLS, and "I Do" for Colbie Caillat. In the third quarter of 2014, Gad was ranked the #3 songwriter in America by Billboard, behind Ryan Tedder and Pharrell Williams.
Great synopsis of Mr. Gad's musical genius, now in collaboration with Ms. Jordan's mastery of lyricism and empathic vocal-ism, legendary music will be created. ♾Rb
When you react to Bad Valentine, please be aware that it is a follow up to Now I’m the Fool, and if you watch the version with lyrics, the line should read “I thought I told you I would mess up girl, I warned you right from the start”, not what is posted on the video. They are two songs about unrequited love written from opposite perspectives by Angelina Jordan. Everyone assumes Jordan is the bad valentine because she starts out singing “I stood you up on Valentines”. Go back and listen to Now I’m the Fool, which she sings in a hurt, feminine voice, and then immediately listen to Bad Valentine, which she sings in a strong, more masculine voice and see what you think. Only this young genius would think to write two songs about the same love relationship from the perspectives of both people in the relationship, and sing both parts herself!
By the way, absolutely no one gets the meaning of Bad Valentine. They all think Jordan is the bad valentine and is the one doing the breaking up because they don’t get the connection with Now I’m the Fool!
If you like the "new" Angelina here, you'll love her original (also with Toby Gad) "Bad Valentine": th-cam.com/video/yTjzhPSVguc/w-d-xo.html. Great reaction!
You forgot to mention that it was acapella in the beginning.
Wow Jacqueline! Love your reaction to this Angelina cover. I have listened to all your AJ reactions more than 7 to 8 times each. I believe your first reaction to AJ was a Queen tune “ The Show Must Go On” and it was an excellent reaction 👍🏼♥️.
Do you have a video of you singing to a microphone? What I mean is just you and a microphone.
Hi Jim. Thank you. Yes I do somewhere :)
@@jacquelinevanbierk I would love to hear it if you can find it. Have you done any other artist covers ? Have you reacted to any tracks from the “Motels “?
Toby Gad on piano wrote this song made popular by Beyonce, AJ hanging with some heavyweights.

Reagir a nosso menino de ouro, brasileiro GABRIEL HENRIQUE!!!! Please - music The Climb
if she were a boy, that dress probably wouldn't fit quite as well, but maybe that's just me....Toby is the piano player and the author of this song, who was recreating some of his best songs for a careet retrospective...He specifically wrote the song Bad Valentine for her, and while the official video has not been released yet, there are vids of it on TH-cam...My guess is that an official video will be released before her September 20 concert in LA.
Girlfriend, the definition of feminist is equal!
The other Piano Diaries version was edited by Toby Gad and is better than this one. Not that there is one thing wrong with this one
You have Issues JVB ?
That piano and cello sure were annoying. lol!
I don't really think this is an anti man song. A man could literally be singing the same exact song except in reverse.
