Val, this reaction is a joy. Jazz is the musical language Angelina grew up with, understands, and has mastered. We often say that she is so good now, just wait for her grownup voice. That’s true, but she is already great, even though still a child!
What a great video on Angelina. Your world of knowledge concerning vocalists is incredible. Thanks for the insight and complete overview on this cover, which I also feel is one of her best. I am a Pianist-Composer, but a keyboardist in the 60´s, where I toured with a female singer. I have been hypnotized by Angelina, her sophistication, and her pure ness of artistry. Yes it can be taught, but this works on a much higher level. I watch her disappear into her performance, oblivious to the surroundings. We are lucky she is here, and we are all lucky To be here with her.
NOOOOOOO NOOOOOOO PUEDO CREER QUE CON SOLO 1O AÑOS TENGA TANTO PROFESIONALISMO ES UNA EXTRAORDINARIA CANTANTE Y SU SALUDO TAN HUMILDE NO NECESITA EXAGERAR ES JUSTA TE AMAMOS ANGELINA NO TENGO PALABRASAAAAASS JAJAAAA TE AMAMOS 😇👣💯💯💥👍👍✌✌❤❤❤❤GRACIAAAAAAS ❤❤❤❤
She not only has control over herself and her voice, she has control over the band, that’s why she is not dwarfed by the band, they are accompanying her, she is not accompanying them!
Thanks for your thoughtful review. My impression is that the more reactors know about music, the more impressed they are by Angelina. Your comments were really informative and I really appreciate it.
In case no one else mentioned it, Angelina does the arrangements for her songs - doesn't hesitate to tell an orchestra she wants something different! The brass players were her regular band for some time at this point, you can see them on lots of videos. I don't know about the string players. Thanks for an insightful reaction!
Yes, she is a boss on stage. You articulated what I was seeing but couldn't express. Yes, she does create emotions from negative space in a masterful way. Thank you for your insights. I remember stumbling across this piece several years ago and playing it over and over in disbelief. How was it even possible that she could deliver such a powerful, nuanced performance? I wanted to run out and show strangers on the street. It's nice to see a voice teacher corroborate my belief that we witnessed a very special demonstration of talent here. You would enjoy her version of "It's A Man's World" two years later when she was about 12. The boss is in and she's at work. th-cam.com/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/w-d-xo.html
In regards to Angelina’s use of negative space it seems clear to me that her sensitivity and intuition is highly developed for her age. Angelina’s performances clearly display an unusually high level of maturity and professionalism that is the antithesis of the conventional stereotype of a child her age. Her vocal diversity is unique in that the vast majority of vocalists focus on specializing in one particular genre.
I can't believe I am hearing a respected voice teacher, vocal coach use terms like MASTERFUL, GENIUS, BOSS, GREAT, MATURE, MASTER TEACHER, MASTER COACH, LOTS OF WISDOM, and AMAZING when she is assessing a 10 year old singer. It seem ludicrous to me. And I agree 100% with you. I keep watching this reaction. Thanks
My God...I have listened to this performance by Angelina over and over...if I didn't see and hear it with my own eyes I would never believe it possible......loved your explanation Vocal Splendor of this modern day Mozart!
Here's a girl with 5 octave range and the ability to apply any part of it, at any time, depending on what the composition calls for. Add to that a soul/blues/jazz inner being that was first noticed by her grandmother when she was 1-1/2 and you have someone who will dazzle the listening public for the rest of her singing career. I don't care if it's James Brown. Whitney, Adele, Lana Del Ray or just about anyone else, she 'kills it'. Heck, she even sang a Japanese song in honor of her grandfather when she visited in Japan. That audience said her fluency was impeccable. Did read that her mother and uncle were raised in Japan.
Thank you all for your comments. YOU all express what I feel before I can figure our what to say. I can listen to other singers once but have to get bac to A J. before I hit the pillow.
I think you'd like "Song for A". So far it's a one-off, an epic classical masterpiece composed by Nico Cartosio for her. If someone wanted to compose a showcase for her voice it would have to be something like that. About her voice beeing not 10-year-old. I'm wondering how that was possible. Maybe excessive training? Her normal speaking voice is perfectly age appropriate. I got the impression she only started using that low singing voice roughly at beeing 7 years old. In rehearsals prior to that she sounds like a kid to me. Giving masterclasses, in a way she's already doing that with her songs. You can find girls on youtube attempting to cover her AGT performance of Bohemian Rhapsody and calling it explicitly "a homage to Angelina Jordan". Isn't that crazy?
Thanks for another great Angelina reaction. I really enjoy your analysis of her voice. I like to say Angelina doesn't sing the song, she "lives" the song. You asked for some more suggestions, well here's a list of some of my favorites, and every fan has their own, that you have NOT reacted to. I know you will enjoy each and every one.

Hi Val. Maybe your best Angie reaction ever, thank you so much. I need people with your experience and expertise to help keep me grounded in reality because this little girl is overwhelming my life. You help me realize that I am not imagining her talent and significance.
Yes! The little big band description is spot on. Angelina is bringing true instrumentation to the modern audiences. She's such a blessing on so many levels. Her performances are respectful of the musicians backing her. They never overwhelm her voice, it remains captivating even with the fantastic accompaniment. Thank you for your insightful reactions.
Great review. One thing that impressed me about this performance was that there didn't appear to be a conductor, and the orchestra was spread out around the stage, so they did a really good job keeping it all together. I've heard other commentators refer to how relaxed Angelina is during this performance. She really appears to just feel the music effortlessly.
Sir, I am late to the party, sorry, Angelina "conducted" the whole thing while rehearsing and with her hand gestures. The brass section are musicians/friends she did a lot of performances over the years. As she is THE BOSS on stage (adoringly nicknamed by the band of the "I put a spell on you" video. The orchestra listens intently to her "wishes and suggestions". Time and time again, they discovered AJ´s uncanny instinctfor arrangement. Stay save and healthy.
Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤️💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤️💙 Loved your reaction!!!
Favorites are something one can't debate. Personally mine is when she sang "Always on my Mind" in tribute to her grandfather shortly after he had died. It's far from technically perfect. She loses both the lyrics and her composure at the end. But in my 60 years I've never been as fully enveloped in the emotional message of a song.
Hi Valerie! Thank you for all your reactions to Angelina, you are awesome. Please react to "I'll be there" (she sang sick, they ask her not to sing because of that but she insisted...and made me cry) the emotion she puts on it is amazing!! She was 10 yrs. old !
AJ is unique because her voice is extraordinarily beautiful - she was born like that with that rare, unique and extraordinary peculiarity like the sun shines, the water flowing or the birds flying in the sky. There is no point in wondering how this is possible - it makes no sense - Who wonders why the sun shines so beautifully, or the birds fly so magnificent? - yet it's extraordinary and unique but that's how it is. The greatest talent and genius is that of life that can create this. AJ was born with this singing talent like composing Mozart or others that are also unique for example - there is nothing to try to understand it is like that - It is beautiful to listen to him sing like watching the stars shine in the sky and it's not possible to imitate her even when working around the clock - AJ knows that and that's why she keeps it simple, natural and humble when she sings because she knows she did nothing special to have this talent there and move everyone. We must also learn to keep it simple, natural and humble by listening to this kind of beautiful voice without idolizing it as I see it a lot. This voice is magical and humble and it is a simple gift of life.
The more I hear her do this song, the more I'm amazed. Her sense of vocal interpretation is phenomenal....and she's JUST 10! At 10, I was still eating mud pies.........
On my favorite song she sang it Professional with that she is a professional maybe 10 but she’s a professional I think she’s been touched by an angel her voice is divine sign a contract with Republic records See you living in Los Angeles going to school now
I love the little squeaky on the end of the word life, ('it's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life')you'll know what I mean. Angelina has never not been in charge. And the hand gestures are on point. I call it vocal sculpture. The conductor on her Put A Spell On You said when she wants changes she calls them wishes, so I wish the horns would do this here, or I wish the piano was a little louder, that kind of thing. She is never mean or even cross if something isn't sounding right she will work with whoever until they are both happy. You don't start singing Jazz at one and half, and not be a special brain that starts figuring things out and making changes based on what they hear to be true for them. Though they are completely different in execution they have the same unfailing instincts about music where it comes to them and their performance. Angelina and Daneliya Tuleshova are twins daughters from different mothers. These two are moving to the head of the class in a hurry. They both are able to convey the emotions of a song directly to the hearts of the listeners That's why their music has the impact that it does, and it's all in the details of the song. The instinct to know where extra notes are needed and when they are not. Thanks for your reaction.
I agree, Danelyia Tuleshova is very talented, very trained, with interesting textures to her voice. But I have difficulty listening to her performances since I heard her tell an interviewer that she suffers horrible stage fright before performances. Debilitating, paralyzing. I hate to think my watching her increases the odds of her suffering further. Angelina, OTOH, seems very comfortable on stage, and I've never seen or heard that she is not happy to be there, in fact she's declared that to interviewers.
@@lengould9262 Angelina has always believed she is supposed to be a singer and has no reason to be afraid..Daneliya gets nervous when she is being judged, but when she is singing to be singing it doesn't seem to matter how many people are watching she smiles a lot. I feel for her too, but she had a major breakthrough at AGT when she sang with Ava Max who I think told her that Daneliya absolutely belongs where she is going. Her attitude has exuded confidence. Plus she has moved on from those talent shows I think. She has signed with an upstart record label with major connections to Sony and it's distrubusion network. They plan to make Daneliya their flagship star. All I can say is they better treat her well or they will regret it. There are a lot of Daneliya supporters. Well I've said enough.
She covered Whitney Houston‘s I have nothing Angela and Jordan it was great she got up there she did a great job on that I think you’d be proud of her I think Whitney Houston be proud
It. is a delight to watch you enjoy music - and then being able to professionally articulate what makes you so happy, what qualities that stand out for you. It makes me happy. Thank you for that, Splendor
Angelina is definitely feeling good singing that song and she certainly makes us all feel good too! I love it when she throws her hair back for the "grand finale" 😁 and I always love your reactions too! 🤗 I was thinking that, on a completely different style, I would love you to react to her cover of "I'd Rather Go Blind" ☺️🌹
Congratulations for reaction !!! Angelina is the best singer of recent times .... she is a music genius. I see people making comparisons with other young singers here on youtube ... but in my humble opinion, Angelina is at a much higher level. Angelina was born to sing ... she doesn't need to dance ... she doesn't need a great artistic production .... she just needs a microphone to "hypnotize" people. She has a unique and singular voice. I've been a professional musician for over 35 years and I've never seen anything like it. Angelina Jordan ... "is"... the MUSIC.
Thank you for your reaction to this song by Angelina at 10 and you heard her sing the Howlin’ Wolf at 8 years old and she was able to do it then. She is amazing. She has her own style and does not compromise her convictions. Thank you again!
Thank you for another excellent reaction to my favourite singer. I feel that it was at age 10 that Angelina shed all "childishness" in her voice. From the age of 7 - 9+ she was at a level which no other singer of a comparable age would have been able to meet. Her confidence and ability to engage her audience without any apparent effort was extraordinary. To use a well-worn phrase which I don't particularly like, by age 10 she was "at another level" By the way this is your 15th reaction to Angelina and on checking your channel I saw that you had already reacted to Angelina singing "Feeling Good" at the Summer concert on the border between Norway and Sweden. I cannot make up my mind which one I prefer> In his comment below, John Tracy gives a link to what is, to my mind, the most heart and gut-wrenching and emotional performance she has given to date. I hope you will consider reacting to it.
One day, you'll find her outdoor version of this, without the sassy brass, but with more of a rock-band. It starts off weak because, in daylight, a singer sees so many distractions - from the entire audience. But once Angelina gets past that, that performance's climax is even more powerful.
I could not find on your site where you have reacted to Angelina singing "Fly Me to the Moon". In 2018 Angelina sang it for Quincy Jones 85th birthday celebration in Londons 02 Arena. The following video mixes the rehersal video with the concert audio. Angelina Jordan - Fly Me To The Moon - Quincy Jones - 2018 (rehearsal with concert mixed audio) ~ th-cam.com/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/w-d-xo.html
See this song is an example, the conductor qued Angelina too soon and she was off sync and the band and her were playing catchup with each other... vocals were beautiful but the timing was off because of the conductor.
I really do appreciate professional reactions to AJ such as yourself..you're reacting to her for the right reason, that being a true interest in the musical form of art rather than hw many subscribers you can attract by reviewing this young prodigy. I truly thank you for that. I often wonder how many hundreds of thousands of people she has touched with her talent all round the world..I can foresee great things in store for her..God bless take care )) Ps on the subject of being coached by a ten year old, I recently watched her as a 9 year old direct an entire band during rehearsals and for these adult professional musicians to acquiesce readily and refer to her as "The Boss" lol can u imagine! Marvellous ..
i'm glad you talked about negative space--for a long time that is what I have found most characteristic of Angelina's artistry--she is a master of shaping negative space and of dynamics as well. That is what makes her singing so exceptionally mature, I think.
It's like when you watch a fantastic ice skater when they get past competition age--they may not be able to do all the huge jumps, but the way they carve space and use time is mesmerizing. (Of course Angelina can also do "the jumps", but she uses them only when appropriate.)
Great News! Angelina has just signed with Republic Records, Amy Winehouse's old recording label. This label is currently handling Taylor Swift and other well known artists also. I am so happy for her I have been crying for days. Republic has said they plan to make her their #1 priority artist and push forward a huge global promotion. I hope this does not cause a problem for Angelina with Taylor Swift who will probably be jealous. She is used to being the queen bee wherever she goes
Thank you for finally reviewing Angelina music again. Your reaction is always so delightful. Your comments give insight and depth to Angelina's talent and how that gift must be hardwired into her DNA. Even after watching an Angelina selection a few times over your reaction gives me new light on why I have so much admiration for the Barefoot Angel. Great going, Valerie.
She's never in a hurry. Doesn't it just make you happy? I saw an interview when she was 8 or 9 in Japan and they asked her to listen to maybe a choir of Japanese kids and to "brutally honest." She didn't want to do it, but she finally said, "They could practice a little, and I hope they have a great festival." (That's from memory.) I can just imagine her bringing her vocal genius, her discipline, and her kindness to that answer.
Ditto, Bruce! Am findig that many of the coaches in oher ways are expressing my reactions tha I could not verbalize until they did it. They are validating and teaching me, also. I love her experience to pinpoint her perceptions.
Great review! I really enjoy listning to your reactions! Angelina is amazing. I would really appreciate if you could react to "Song for A". Angelina recorded this song when she was 12 years old. It is without doubt my favorite!
I absolutely love this review! It is clear that you have been assimilated into the Angelina "borg!" This review is so loveable, even funny, compared to your first Angelina review, which was more reserved and "professional." This one is so transparent and genuine, (the two sides of the "coin" of honesty) which are the main things I want to see in a review. THANK YOU SO MUCH for allowing yourself to become enthralled with Angelina, as I and her very devout fans are. Welcome to the club. Now, like you, this performance is one of my all time favorites too. I am no musical coach, but I would have to say this was technically perfect. It does SUCH a good job of showing off Angelina's control, uniqueness, and "wow" factor. And that VOICE! It is liquid gold in my ears. Her voice tone, quality & color, along with her affinity for jazz and soulful songs reaches a more mature heart. So, I would venture to guess the average age of her fan base is MUCH older than other teenage/young adult singers. I am so excited for her future, because she has a niche ALL TO HERSELF. Her mysterious allure, her unmistakeably unique VOICE, and her genre affinity and phenomenal skill will REAWAKEN an ENTIRE GENERATION (or two) of older folks who's hearts are STARVING for REAL MUSIC to be brought back. I just SO adore her, and again, YOUR reaction as well. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, continue reviews AJ songs. AJ fans LOVE to relive that experience of joy and wonder we felt the first time with AJ, through the ears of AJ reviewers.
Another great reaction with lots of great information. I always enjoy getting your professional take on Angelina. You seemed to like that "mini big band" she performed with here. You will see her working with some of them in her 2017 tour. There are lots of good ones from that tour, but two that I highly recommend are "Diamonds are Forever": th-cam.com/video/xRfFcnD3KSo/w-d-xo.html and "Cry Me A River": th-cam.com/video/jV8HIVL2VDE/w-d-xo.html These are both incredible. I hope you can give us your thoughts on them sometime :)
shes so amazing!! ... she really has a way of making it her own and interpreting songs, that really convey meaning across where if you heard this song sung by someone else you wouldnt feel it ... amazing
Thank you for that fantastic reaction in so many ways. Hard to explain how great your reaction was to one of the greatest child singers, Angelina. Sometimes we don't know why we love her singing so much on a technical level and you so professionally and eloquently brought some of that to light. Also her beautiful personality and Consciousness is manifested through her singing as well. which makes her even more unique and appealing especially at her age. Thank you and looking forward to more of your reactions for Angelina.
Great reaction and analysis. Love you expertise. You comments are in line with what I think every time I watch this. 10 years old. Commands the performance. I teach elementary school to 4th graders. I can’t imagine any of my students this focused on a task. She is gifted. Live audience. Live band. Cameras moving around her. Just another day at the office for her. What a pro. I looked back to see what you have reacted to. You don’t have any early Angelina. Summertime at NGT finals is beautiful. Bang bang from NGT. I who Have Nothing. Pre NGT in school studio is also very good,,6 years old.
14 now...and has been a professional for years already...she loves to touch people through her music...lives for it...thrives on it. Perfectly at ease on stage...she has a gift, as indeed do we in her.
“Song for A” is my fav from Angelina. It is not a cover but a song that is composed for her by Nico Cartosio. It is classical and it takes me to the past. I hope you can react to it.
Hello Valerie!!! Yes! She is a master of her craft. Always love your reactions to our wonder Angel. Already looking forward to your next Angelina reaction. You should check her out at 6yrs old doing " I, who have nothing" thank you.
Enjoy her curtsy and nod to the Band at 5:40 . . . . . . an indication of her mind-set / humility . Also enjoyed your continuing smile and positive reaction to her performance ! ! ! Very Nice .
Hello Valerie there are quite a few you may react as requested. Ones I guess you will like for sure are Lana del rey songs, quite popular in US too, young &beautiful, born to die songs. Versatility in her singing is amazing and gives one many options to pick up.
Your reaction is really great, love the way you explain. Well if this is one of your favorites, you will be amazed as you travel on with Angelina. Yes you will amazed, shocked, tears, joy, goosebumps an so many more emotions. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks. : )
![ILLSLICK - KILLSHOT REMIX [FULL VERSION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/RIK8RrqIAzE/mqdefault.jpg)
This is my favorite as well, isn't she just wonderful iluvher
I'd love to hear the show must go on!
This my favorite. Song Angelina has sung she took it to another level 🎶
A proposito di u.f.O. eccone uno.Angelina è di un altro pianeta.
Angelina Jordan IS music!
Her low register is incredible....only matched by her high register.
Valerie, I will have to say Angelina always puts a smile on your face, not to mention your vocal colors.
YES !!!You're right....she is really great......👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
This angel just keeps blowing mind❤❤❤❤❤ her old style love if.she should really stay with jazz,,
First singer who’s ever made me cry and I’m old.
Karen Carpenter was my first
Valerie i have to say you are a beautiful woman now the aside Angelina is just the best on the planet now or maybe ever :) and just 10 WOW
OMG, she is so good.
Val, this reaction is a joy. Jazz is the musical language Angelina grew up with, understands, and has mastered. We often say that she is so good now, just wait for her grownup voice. That’s true, but she is already great, even though still a child!
Love her lots.
It s like attending a class just for watching your reaction ...thank you thabk you very much for sharing years of experiences to us....
Close your eyes it’s still like a grown woman singing not a child 💥
remarkable
Yes, Master Classes!!
i LOVE this song!
What a great video on Angelina. Your world of knowledge concerning vocalists is incredible. Thanks for the insight and complete overview on this cover, which I also feel is one of her best. I am a Pianist-Composer, but a keyboardist in the 60´s, where I toured with a female singer. I have been hypnotized by Angelina, her sophistication, and her pure ness of artistry. Yes it can be taught, but this works on a much higher level. I watch her disappear into her performance, oblivious to the surroundings. We are lucky she is here, and we are all lucky To be here with her.
C'est impressionnant.
NOOOOOOO NOOOOOOO PUEDO CREER QUE CON SOLO 1O AÑOS TENGA TANTO PROFESIONALISMO ES UNA EXTRAORDINARIA CANTANTE Y SU SALUDO TAN HUMILDE NO NECESITA EXAGERAR ES JUSTA TE AMAMOS ANGELINA NO TENGO PALABRASAAAAASS JAJAAAA TE AMAMOS 😇👣💯💯💥👍👍✌✌❤❤❤❤GRACIAAAAAAS ❤❤❤❤
She not only has control over herself and her voice, she has control over the band, that’s why she is not dwarfed by the band, they are accompanying her, she is not accompanying them!
Your generosity and wonder were greatly appreciated Valery
I love your reaction to her. Thanks for making me love her singing more
She just makes you happy. There is a video of Angelina teaching a grown woman and with her little sister. Very cute
Thanks for your thoughtful review. My impression is that the more reactors know about music, the more impressed they are by Angelina. Your comments were really informative and I really appreciate it.
Yes Stan, She’s a musician’s musician. I’ll repeat it here that a good example would be Mel Tormé.
I dont think any kid can interpret a song like this kid at 10,and sings with a bad ass band like this,such control.
In case no one else mentioned it, Angelina does the arrangements for her songs - doesn't hesitate to tell an orchestra she wants something different! The brass players were her regular band for some time at this point, you can see them on lots of videos. I don't know about the string players. Thanks for an insightful reaction!
I’ve watched you react to a lot of AJs performances. This is the only time I saw you really get into it. She is so amazing!!!
Yes, she is a boss on stage. You articulated what I was seeing but couldn't express. Yes, she does create emotions from negative space in a masterful way. Thank you for your insights. I remember stumbling across this piece several years ago and playing it over and over in disbelief. How was it even possible that she could deliver such a powerful, nuanced performance? I wanted to run out and show strangers on the street. It's nice to see a voice teacher corroborate my belief that we witnessed a very special demonstration of talent here.
You would enjoy her version of "It's A Man's World" two years later when she was about 12. The boss is in and she's at work. th-cam.com/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/w-d-xo.html
In regards to Angelina’s use of negative space it seems clear to me that her sensitivity and intuition is highly developed for her age. Angelina’s performances clearly display an unusually high level of maturity and professionalism that is the antithesis of the conventional stereotype of a child her age. Her vocal diversity is unique in that the vast majority of vocalists focus on specializing in one particular genre.
I'm blown away this girl is super talented and gifted love your reaction thanks
I can't believe I am hearing a respected voice teacher, vocal coach use terms like MASTERFUL, GENIUS, BOSS, GREAT, MATURE, MASTER TEACHER, MASTER COACH, LOTS OF WISDOM, and AMAZING when she is assessing a 10 year old singer. It seem ludicrous to me. And I agree 100% with you. I keep watching this reaction. Thanks
This young lady never never lets us down 💕
My God...I have listened to this performance by Angelina over and over...if I didn't see and hear it with my own eyes I would never believe it possible......loved your explanation Vocal Splendor of this modern day Mozart!
At ten, Angelina steps from being a child singer to being a singer comparable to any other.
Here's a girl with 5 octave range and the ability to apply any part of it, at any time,
depending on what the composition calls for. Add to that a soul/blues/jazz inner
being that was first noticed by her grandmother when she was 1-1/2 and you have
someone who will dazzle the listening public for the rest of her singing career. I
don't care if it's James Brown. Whitney, Adele, Lana Del Ray or just about anyone else,
she 'kills it'. Heck, she even sang a Japanese song in honor of her grandfather when
she visited in Japan. That audience said her fluency was impeccable. Did read that
her mother and uncle were raised in Japan.
Thank you all for your comments. YOU all express what I feel before I can figure our what to say. I can listen to other singers once but have to get bac to A J. before I hit the pillow.
Please hear she sing Welcome to my world, Love me tender and Moon River too. I'm a big fan of her.
I think you'd like "Song for A". So far it's a one-off, an epic classical masterpiece composed by Nico Cartosio for her. If someone wanted to compose a showcase for her voice it would have to be something like that.
About her voice beeing not 10-year-old. I'm wondering how that was possible. Maybe excessive training?
Her normal speaking voice is perfectly age appropriate. I got the impression she only started using that low singing voice roughly at beeing 7 years old. In rehearsals prior to that she sounds like a kid to me.
Giving masterclasses, in a way she's already doing that with her songs. You can find girls on youtube attempting to cover her AGT performance of Bohemian Rhapsody and calling it explicitly "a homage to Angelina Jordan". Isn't that crazy?
Angelina’s pitch and sense of timing is spot on.
Thanks for another great Angelina reaction. I really enjoy your analysis of her voice. I like to say Angelina doesn't sing the song, she "lives" the song. You asked for some more suggestions, well here's a list of some of my favorites, and every fan has their own, that you have NOT reacted to. I know you will enjoy each and every one. Looking forward to more Angelina reactions.

Hi Val. Maybe your best Angie reaction ever, thank you so much. I need people with your experience and expertise to help keep me grounded in reality because this little girl is overwhelming my life. You help me realize that I am not imagining her talent and significance.
Yes! The little big band description is spot on. Angelina is bringing true instrumentation to the modern audiences. She's such a blessing on so many levels. Her performances are respectful of the musicians backing her. They never overwhelm her voice, it remains captivating even with the fantastic accompaniment. Thank you for your insightful reactions.
Great review. One thing that impressed me about this performance was that there didn't appear to be a conductor, and the orchestra was spread out around the stage, so they did a really good job keeping it all together. I've heard other commentators refer to how relaxed Angelina is during this performance. She really appears to just feel the music effortlessly.
Sir, I am late to the party, sorry, Angelina "conducted" the whole thing while rehearsing and with her hand gestures. The brass section are musicians/friends she did a lot of performances over the years. As she is THE BOSS on stage (adoringly nicknamed by the band of the "I put a spell on you" video. The orchestra listens intently to her "wishes and suggestions". Time and time again, they discovered AJ´s uncanny instinctfor arrangement. Stay save and healthy.
@@elmarwinkler6335 Wow, she is amazing.
@@elmarwinkler6335 She conducted nothing. She is not more special than any other artists who has to cooperate with an orchestra.
Appreciate your expertise.
Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤️💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤️💙 Loved your reaction!!!
This one may be my favorit from Angelina. She's magic.
Favorites are something one can't debate. Personally mine is when she sang "Always on my Mind" in tribute to her grandfather shortly after he had died. It's far from technically perfect. She loses both the lyrics and her composure at the end. But in my 60 years I've never been as fully enveloped in the emotional message of a song.
Hi Valerie! Thank you for all your reactions to Angelina, you are awesome. Please react to "I'll be there" (she sang sick, they ask her not to sing because of that but she insisted...and made me cry) the emotion she puts on it is amazing!! She was 10 yrs. old !
... she proofs again and again her incredible talent 🙂👍❤️❤️❤️❤️🕊️
AJ is unique because her voice is extraordinarily beautiful - she was born like that with that rare, unique and extraordinary peculiarity like the sun shines, the water flowing or the birds flying in the sky.
There is no point in wondering how this is possible - it makes no sense -
Who wonders why the sun shines so beautifully, or the birds fly so magnificent? - yet it's extraordinary and unique but that's how it is.
The greatest talent and genius is that of life that can create this.
AJ was born with this singing talent like composing Mozart or others that are also unique for example - there is nothing to try to understand it is like that - It is beautiful to listen to him sing like watching the stars shine in the sky and it's not possible to imitate her even when working around the clock - AJ knows that and that's why she keeps it simple, natural and humble when she sings because she knows she did nothing special to have this talent there and move everyone. We must also learn to keep it simple, natural and humble by listening to this kind of beautiful voice without idolizing it as I see it a lot. This voice is magical and humble and it is a simple gift of life.
The more I hear her do this song, the more I'm amazed. Her sense of vocal interpretation is phenomenal....and she's JUST 10! At 10, I was still eating mud pies.........
Her musicality is unbelievable.😍How mesmerising!
On my favorite song she sang it Professional with that she is a professional maybe 10 but she’s a professional I think she’s been touched by an angel her voice is divine
sign a contract with Republic records See you living in Los Angeles going to school now
It is such a pleasure to listen to your reactions 👏👏 thanks!
On of the best Angelina reactions I've seen.
I love the little squeaky on the end of the word life, ('it's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life')you'll know what I mean. Angelina has never not been in charge. And the hand gestures are on point. I call it vocal sculpture. The conductor on her Put A Spell On You said when she wants changes she calls them wishes, so I wish the horns would do this here, or I wish the piano was a little louder, that kind of thing. She is never mean or even cross if something isn't sounding right she will work with whoever until they are both happy. You don't start singing Jazz at one and half, and not be a special brain that starts figuring things out and making changes based on what they hear to be true for them. Though they are completely different in execution they have the same unfailing instincts about music where it comes to them and their performance. Angelina and Daneliya Tuleshova are twins daughters from different mothers. These two are moving to the head of the class in a hurry. They both are able to convey the emotions of a song directly to the hearts of the listeners That's why their music has the impact that it does, and it's all in the details of the song. The instinct to know where extra notes are needed and when they are not.
Thanks for your reaction.
I agree, Danelyia Tuleshova is very talented, very trained, with interesting textures to her voice. But I have difficulty listening to her performances since I heard her tell an interviewer that she suffers horrible stage fright before performances. Debilitating, paralyzing. I hate to think my watching her increases the odds of her suffering further.
Angelina, OTOH, seems very comfortable on stage, and I've never seen or heard that she is not happy to be there, in fact she's declared that to interviewers.
@@lengould9262 Angelina has always believed she is supposed to be a singer and has no reason to be afraid..Daneliya gets nervous when she is being judged, but when she is singing to be singing it doesn't seem to matter how many people are watching she smiles a lot. I feel for her too, but she had a major breakthrough at AGT when she sang with Ava Max who I think told her that Daneliya absolutely belongs where she is going. Her attitude has exuded confidence. Plus she has moved on from those talent shows I think. She has signed with an upstart record label with major connections to Sony and it's distrubusion network. They plan to make Daneliya their flagship star. All I can say is they better treat her well or they will regret it. There are a lot of Daneliya supporters. Well I've said enough.
She covered Whitney Houston‘s I have nothing Angela and Jordan it was great she got up there she did a great job on that I think you’d be proud of her I think Whitney Houston be proud
Love Angelinas version of this song, loved your reaction Valerie.
Another knowledgeable review of this wonderful prodigy. I’ve seen many of your reviews and you admit that this young girl is special.
It. is a delight to watch you enjoy music - and then being able to professionally articulate what makes you so happy, what qualities that stand out for you. It makes me happy. Thank you for that, Splendor
Angelina is definitely feeling good singing that song and she certainly makes us all feel good too! I love it when she throws her hair back for the "grand finale" 😁 and I always love your reactions too! 🤗
I was thinking that, on a completely different style, I would love you to react to her cover of "I'd Rather Go Blind" ☺️🌹
Congratulations for reaction !!!
Angelina is the best singer of recent times .... she is a music genius. I see people making comparisons with other young singers here on youtube ... but in my humble opinion, Angelina is at a much higher level.
Angelina was born to sing ... she doesn't need to dance ... she doesn't need a great artistic production .... she just needs a microphone to "hypnotize" people.
She has a unique and singular voice.
I've been a professional musician for over 35 years and I've never seen anything like it.
Angelina Jordan ... "is"... the MUSIC.
I agree! She is really something!
I heard this from someone close to the family. When Angelina was born, she looked around her crib, and said "Where did you put my microphone"?
@@leebrn8588 Lol ... I believe it's true 😂👍
Thank you for your reaction to this song by Angelina at 10 and you heard her sing the Howlin’ Wolf at 8 years old and she was able to do it then. She is amazing. She has her own style and does not compromise her convictions. Thank you again!
Hi. Um... the Howlin' Wolf? Can you tell me more because I have never heard of this and I thought I had heard and seen everything this angel has done.
???? Never heard that either do you have the link to that??
Could that be Screaming Jay Hawkins?
Thank you for another excellent reaction to my favourite singer. I feel that it was at age 10 that Angelina shed all "childishness" in her voice. From the age of 7 - 9+ she was at a level which no other singer of a comparable age would have been able to meet. Her confidence and ability to engage her audience without any apparent effort was extraordinary. To use a well-worn phrase which I don't particularly like, by age 10 she was "at another level"
By the way this is your 15th reaction to Angelina and on checking your channel I saw that you had already reacted to Angelina singing "Feeling Good" at the Summer concert on the border between Norway and Sweden. I cannot make up my mind which one I prefer>
In his comment below, John Tracy gives a link to what is, to my mind, the most heart and gut-wrenching and emotional performance she has given to date. I hope you will consider reacting to it.
This is an amazing performance.
Watching you enjoy Angelina made my heart feel good. So much appreciate this reaction from you. Always await hearing your thoughts. Thumbs up.
Wow, thank you!
One day, you'll find her outdoor version of this, without the sassy brass, but with more of a rock-band. It starts off weak because, in daylight, a singer sees so many distractions - from the entire audience. But once Angelina gets past that, that performance's climax is even more powerful.
I could not find on your site where you have reacted to Angelina singing "Fly Me to the Moon". In 2018 Angelina sang it for Quincy Jones 85th birthday celebration in Londons 02 Arena. The following video mixes the rehersal video with the concert audio. Angelina Jordan - Fly Me To The Moon - Quincy Jones - 2018 (rehearsal with concert mixed audio) ~ th-cam.com/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/w-d-xo.html
See this song is an example, the conductor qued Angelina too soon and she was off sync and the band and her were playing catchup with each other... vocals were beautiful but the timing was off because of the conductor.
Angelina DOES the arraignment! Watch her rehearsals.
I really do appreciate professional reactions to AJ such as yourself..you're reacting to her for the right reason, that being a true interest in the musical form of art rather than hw many subscribers you can attract by reviewing this young prodigy. I truly thank you for that. I often wonder how many hundreds of thousands of people she has touched with her talent all round the world..I can foresee great things in store for her..God bless take care ))
Ps on the subject of being coached by a ten year old, I recently watched her as a 9 year old direct an entire band during rehearsals and for these adult professional musicians to acquiesce readily and refer to her as "The Boss" lol can u imagine! Marvellous ..
Какой мощный и взрослый голос и песня сложная,молодец Ангелина!🌹🌹🌹
i'm glad you talked about negative space--for a long time that is what I have found most characteristic of Angelina's artistry--she is a master of shaping negative space and of dynamics as well. That is what makes her singing so exceptionally mature, I think.
It's like when you watch a fantastic ice skater when they get past competition age--they may not be able to do all the huge jumps, but the way they carve space and use time is mesmerizing. (Of course Angelina can also do "the jumps", but she uses them only when appropriate.)
She did a cover of The Show Must Go On
Great News! Angelina has just signed with Republic Records, Amy Winehouse's old recording label. This label is currently handling Taylor Swift and other well known artists also. I am so happy for her I have been crying for days. Republic has said they plan to make her their #1 priority artist and push forward a huge global promotion. I hope this does not cause a problem for Angelina with Taylor Swift who will probably be jealous. She is used to being the queen bee wherever she goes
Thank you for finally reviewing Angelina music again. Your reaction is always so delightful. Your comments give insight and depth to Angelina's talent and how that gift must be hardwired into her DNA. Even after watching an Angelina selection a few times over your reaction gives me new light on why I have so much admiration for the Barefoot Angel. Great going, Valerie.
She's never in a hurry. Doesn't it just make you happy? I saw an interview when she was 8 or 9 in Japan and they asked her to listen to maybe a choir of Japanese kids and to "brutally honest." She didn't want to do it, but she finally said, "They could practice a little, and I hope they have a great festival." (That's from memory.) I can just imagine her bringing her vocal genius, her discipline, and her kindness to that answer.
My favorites by AJ is "Mary's boy child" and "Faded"
This one of my favorite songs from AJ !!! Another one is Every time we say Goodbye !!! Thank you for the reaction
Ditto, Bruce!
Am findig that many of the coaches in oher ways are expressing my reactions tha I could not verbalize until they did it. They are validating and teaching me, also. I love her experience to pinpoint her perceptions.
Have you seen all of her Norway performances?
Great review! I really enjoy listning to your reactions! Angelina is amazing. I would really appreciate if you could react to "Song for A". Angelina recorded this song when she was 12 years old. It is without doubt my favorite!
I absolutely love this review! It is clear that you have been assimilated into the Angelina "borg!" This review is so loveable, even funny, compared to your first Angelina review, which was more reserved and "professional." This one is so transparent and genuine, (the two sides of the "coin" of honesty) which are the main things I want to see in a review. THANK YOU SO MUCH for allowing yourself to become enthralled with Angelina, as I and her very devout fans are. Welcome to the club. Now, like you, this performance is one of my all time favorites too. I am no musical coach, but I would have to say this was technically perfect. It does SUCH a good job of showing off Angelina's control, uniqueness, and "wow" factor. And that VOICE! It is liquid gold in my ears. Her voice tone, quality & color, along with her affinity for jazz and soulful songs reaches a more mature heart. So, I would venture to guess the average age of her fan base is MUCH older than other teenage/young adult singers. I am so excited for her future, because she has a niche ALL TO HERSELF. Her mysterious allure, her unmistakeably unique VOICE, and her genre affinity and phenomenal skill will REAWAKEN an ENTIRE GENERATION (or two) of older folks who's hearts are STARVING for REAL MUSIC to be brought back. I just SO adore her, and again, YOUR reaction as well. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, continue reviews AJ songs. AJ fans LOVE to relive that experience of joy and wonder we felt the first time with AJ, through the ears of AJ reviewers.
Another great reaction with lots of great information. I always enjoy getting your professional take on Angelina. You seemed to like that "mini big band" she performed with here. You will see her working with some of them in her 2017 tour. There are lots of good ones from that tour, but two that I highly recommend are "Diamonds are Forever": th-cam.com/video/xRfFcnD3KSo/w-d-xo.html and "Cry Me A River": th-cam.com/video/jV8HIVL2VDE/w-d-xo.html These are both incredible. I hope you can give us your thoughts on them sometime :)
shes so amazing!! ... she really has a way of making it her own and interpreting songs, that really convey meaning across where if you heard this song sung by someone else you wouldnt feel it ... amazing
Thank you for that fantastic reaction in so many ways. Hard to explain how great your reaction was to one of the greatest child singers, Angelina. Sometimes we don't know why we love her singing so much on a technical level and you so professionally and eloquently brought some of that to light. Also her beautiful personality and Consciousness is manifested through her singing as well. which makes her even more unique and appealing especially at her age. Thank you and looking forward to more of your reactions for Angelina.
Thank you :-) Your reaction shows so much understanding and appreciation - of this wonder of a singer and artist.
Great reaction and analysis. Love you expertise. You comments are in line with what I think every time I watch this. 10 years old. Commands the performance. I teach elementary school to 4th graders. I can’t imagine any of my students this focused on a task. She is gifted. Live audience. Live band. Cameras moving around her. Just another day at the office for her. What a pro. I looked back to see what you have reacted to. You don’t have any early Angelina. Summertime at NGT finals is beautiful. Bang bang from NGT. I who Have Nothing. Pre NGT in school studio is also very good,,6 years old.
14 now...and has been a professional for years already...she loves to touch people through her music...lives for it...thrives on it.
Perfectly at ease on stage...she has a gift, as indeed do we in her.
“Song for A” is my fav from Angelina. It is not a cover but a song that is composed for her by Nico Cartosio. It is classical and it takes me to the past. I hope you can react to it.
Oh how I love your comments.
Yet another great performance from both A J and you.
Thank you.
Take care X X😄
Thanks for listening!❤️
Hello Valerie!!! Yes! She is a master of her craft. Always love your reactions to our wonder Angel. Already looking forward to your next Angelina reaction. You should check her out at 6yrs old doing " I, who have nothing" thank you.
Even at 10 years old the odds are a lot of that arrangement was hers or at least adapted to how she wanted to sing it
All musicians keep time as if they had an internal metronome. I think she manages time in milliseconds like a computer does, it's impressive
Enjoy her curtsy and nod to the Band at 5:40 . . . . . . an indication of her mind-set / humility . Also enjoyed your continuing smile and positive reaction to her performance ! ! ! Very Nice .
I have just one word to your comments: Amen!
watshing you my breath is calm and mind at peace. People meeting you or seeng you recive a beautiful gift. Thank you.
Hello Valerie there are quite a few you may react as requested. Ones I guess you will like for sure are Lana del rey songs, quite popular in US too, young &beautiful, born to die songs. Versatility in her singing is amazing and gives one many options to pick up.
Your reaction is really great, love the way you explain. Well if this is one of your favorites, you will be amazed as you travel on with Angelina. Yes you will amazed, shocked, tears, joy, goosebumps an so many more emotions. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks. : )
I absolutely love your thoughtful Angelina Jordan reaction videos!
Espetacular....Incrivelmente incrivel.....
