She IS a Jazz Singer... And YES, she IS a Prodigy... At this tender age, she knew EXACTLY what she wanted to accomplish... this, of course, is made clear, when she looks at the trumpet player. I can almost hear her thinking, "you're up, pay attention!" She's absolutely committed to excellence, and she has every tool, and more than just extraordinary talent... Now turning 17yrs old in January she's even more driven and focused, with a voice that can bear up and support what she wants to deliver.... A moving, captivating, and emotional connection to her band, her arrangements, her talent and exquisitely polished performances... She loves her fans and her genuine heart bares itself with total abandon. She is a Superstar in the making... Further honing her skills, exploring all genres... But JAZZ,... that's what motivated her to be what she is today... Incredibly ahead of the curve.. with all of us in tow and loving support... I've enjoyed your two reaction reactions .. and very sure you've noticed the number of Angels (fans) she has... You're welcomed to the Family! PEACE
Angelina the goddess of voice and music is now on earth, she is a good angel. She is singing since she is 1 and a half years old, she is artist, poet and a excellent story teller, she was first singing jazz, befor she speaks 👑♥️🌹🌟
You are so right! It is irrelevant to speak of her technical aspects, though they are definitely phenomenal! Angelina is all about being in the moment, in the mood, in the message, living out every word and emotion, and transporting those messages and emotions directly into our very souls! She's the modern day Queen of Jazz!
If you are interested, you have a long journey ahead of you with Angelina Jordan's amazing voice. Despite her young age, there is a lot to listen to. I almost feel a little jealous. There are many of us who already live in her present but listen to her over and over again…🍃 ❤🍃
Aged 17 January 10th 2023 . very nice reaction , I wouldn't pigeonhole hole ANGELINA as solely as a jazz singer as some fans do as she she is able to sing most other genre , however her influences / inspiration came from the jazz arists past and present when she was at a very young age , probably around aged 4?
Angelina, my favorite singer, you are beginning to see why. I realize there are many great singers out there from many countries. I still choose Angelina, she is the total package, has been singing for years and only now 16 years old. Thumbs up for your journey, a wise decision. At this point I had better subscribe.
OH I loved your reaction to Angelina Jordan....i didnt know you had her on your list. I first found her straight after she won Norway's Got Talent at 6 or 7....love her low jazzy voice ...and i like YOUR voice too!!
It's a delight to have a professional musician discover Angelina Jordan and realize what a major talent we have here among us. She did a version of Summertime with Kork, the Norwegian orchestra, about two years later. It's midsummer note-perfection. Her family are very protective and supportive of her. She's in LA now, and recording with Republic Records, who are also being protective. She's still only 16. I recommend something from her summer concerts in Norway this year. Thanks!
I think when she looked at the trumpet player, she was making sure he was playing according to her specifications. Remember that she has always been in charge of the musical arrangement. There’s a behind the scenes video of her guiding the trumpet player on how she wanted for him to play the tune. And yes! She has perfect pitch. There’s another video, when she was around the same age, in which she’s rehearsing with a small assembled and at one point she looks at the pianist and simply said “shouldn’t this have been half a note higher?” And the only thing he could do was laugh. Unbelievable! I think people concentrate so much on her amazing voice that they don’t pay enough attention to her musical arrangement and how amazing the musicians sound. And it’s because during rehearsal, she makes sure that everyone performs at their very best. Enjoy the journey, my friend.
I bet that as a musician like that pianist you mentioned, having learned notes, how to play instruments and all that, then for someone in her age noticing a half note hitting wrong and commenting on that. Probably blew his mind out of proportion so much that as you said, he could not do anything else but laugh and appreciate the genius that She is. And from that day know when he is in the presence of raw geniuses & talent there is no point of pulling an excuse or something, just accept it and say sorry my bad xD
Angelina decides for herself. When it comes to the actual training and choice of songs etc., it has always been Angelina who made all the choices and decisions. Parents and others, on the other hand, have asked her to take it a little easier sometimes. Angelina is very special and her own driving force. Ever since she was 3-4 years old! Of course, all relatives and frends, have helped and protected her. Angelina and her closest, decided early on that she would have as normal a childhood as possible. Even when she won NGT, 8 years old, many wanted to sign a contract. Everyone was dismissed! Even Disney. And this Norwegian girl sings in English! Do you know that she speaks several languages. I'm so grateful for everything she gives me. / A Swedish Viking
I am so happy to have found your channel and am loving watching you discover Angelina. Her singing brings so much joy and on top of that she has grown into a warm and compassionate young woman. Lovely to see experts such as yourself recognise her abilities with such eloquence.
Hello again, WIll! Thank you very much for yet another amazing reaction to Angelina🙂 - I am beyond happy that you got back to Angelina THIS quickly. That tells me that she really caught your interest, just like I expected, or at least hoped. Angelina is currently 16 years 9 months old. I heard you say that you want to hear something newer from her, and if so, I have the PERFECT suggestion, particularly when taking your background into account : On Valentine's Day this year (Feb 8th I believe) she dropped a new rendition of "My Funny Valentine", the 1937 jazz standard that has been included in 1300+ albums and have been performed by hundreds of artists through the years. IMO this is her most beautiful performance to date. The reason why I say a NEW rendition of the song is due to the fact that she also made a rendition of it exactly 6 years earlier, at the age of 10. Both performances are ABSOLUTELY beautiful. I have made this suggestion to a lot of reactors, and quite a few have done it. My suggestion is to make a double reaction to them, as they work as a perfect example of her evolution through those 6 years. And you also get to see how Angelina sounds and looks as of RIGHT NOW. (9 months ago...😁) Angelina currently stands 6'1 (1m 85 cm) tall, and can probably take up on modelling should her voice somehow fail her (God forbid! ) Definitely no SMALL girl anymore😉 I'll give you the link to both performances here : "My Funny Valentine", Angelina age 10 : th-cam.com/video/sZ25H4a2gPI/w-d-xo.html "My Funny Valentine", Angelina age 16 : th-cam.com/video/ETGLbsGDAI0/w-d-xo.html Have a great weekend, my friend! I hope to see you back with Angelina soon😊 Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
I third this request. The 10 yo version is amazing & off the charts on the cuteness scale. The 16 yo version is by far the best version I've ever heard by any of the legendary singers, male or female, EVER. It's a Masterclass in vocal dynamics & control and it is so fricken beautiful it makes me cry!
Thank you for you lovely message. My Funny Valentine is a big favourite of mine. Have you seen it featured in the movie The Talented Mr Ripley? So eery!

Greetings, William! This is my 2nd meeting with you to hear Angelina Jordan sing. There is so much about this performance of "Summertime" that I love. Your notes on screen have highlighted some of them. Thank you so much for the expertise in your reaction. Angelina is 16 yo in 2022. Her birthday is in January. I shall look for your next Angelina Jordan reaction video. This is Grandma Ellen from the PNW area of USA, over and out. 💜
All of your observations and comments are exactly on point. Recognizing Angelina as a child prodigy is very accurate. Angelina kept asking her mom to go on Norways Got Talent, finally threatening to call Simon herself Her family has protected her and preserved her childhood. They turned away Disney and many others before signing with Republic Records, the biggest US label, at age 14 who agreed to allow her to finish school and continue to learn. Please continue the journey Angelina with us 🍁
Early evening here in Hobart, Tasmania ... we 'Angels' believe Angelina has been well sheltered by her close-knit family from exploitation by the industry so far, especially since they all moved to the US to further her career ... R 🇦🇺
Very insightful analysis about the fact that she is a natural. She is self taught by listening to 1000's of hours of jazz greats on YT from a toddler on. She never had a vocal coach, because her mother said they didn't want to mess with her unique style. She never sings a song the same way twice, because she sings it as she is "feeling" it in the moment. Her riffs, runs & ad libs just comes out of her mouth, off the cuff. Now at 16, she's the best I've ever heard in my 75 years.
As far as it looks from the outside she stems from a family of artists (japanese, iranian, swedish and norwegian backgrounds) who is taking care of her, managing her, watching over her. Today she has a contract with Republic that gives her artistic freedom and time to finish school first. Her first album will come out next year, after she has turned 17.
I agree the her amazing technical abilities are not what makes her great. It’s singing from her hear to yours and penetrating to the soul that has her standing out of the field of greats.
Angelina seems to as easily deliver a vocal performance full of nuance and complexity as she does to simultaneously deliver the emotional payload of a piece. While she works hard at her craft, including listening to many artists from many decades, where the line between instinctive and active decisions she makes is hard to know. Whatever it is, it works and we are fortunate to be able to watch her artistry develop!
She was looking over at the band to make sure they do things right because she made the arrangement herself. There is at least one video of her behind stage instructing the musicians on what she requests them to do. Yes perfect pitch and timing, but she's even more. She has the musical sense of a seasoned adult singer.
Great reaction Will. The comments, the editing, the snap shots are so all pro status. Your observations, words of wisdom and singing are amazing and wonderful having you along. The love from the judges and the rest of manKind began and continues today
Will, you picked a good one! George Gershwin's spirit is dancing around on the clouds whenever he hears Angelina sing this classic. Her poise and confidence is something artists spend a lifetime trying to establish. For Angelina it comes naturally and she's totally comfortable singing for an audience. Thank you for joining us, Will. I can tell all of us are going to like your reactions very, very much.
AJ has been killing us softly since she was 7 years old, and now she is taking the world by storm. How does one explain her abilities? The truth is, there aren't enough words because there is no one in our past, or more than likely in our future that will affect mankind as much as she has in the short period of time, she has been alive. AJ awakens a need within us that we had long forgotten. Peace.
Thank you for your reaction. You have to watch her first performance on NGT " Gloomy Sunday" when she was 7 and her second song ( talking about perfect pitch ) " I'm a fool to want you" acapella.
Good morning William. Its 12.30 at daytime now in Norway 🇳🇴 I see it is 30 minutes since you reacted to Angelina. She's a prodigy. She has birthday 01.10.23. And become 17. She's born in 2006.👍 Love from Norway 🇳🇴
@@BangkokVoiceCoach I know it is always summertime in Thailand. I've been there, remember.. I want summer too. 😭😭 Because my body hurts when it's getting cold.
She Is increíble!! Toca tres instrumentos, compone sus letras y música y hace sus arreglos de los covers, corrigió una orquesta, dona millones de dólares a caridad, canta descalza por los niños de la calle, y su voz es de otro mundo, no solo por su tono sinó por lo que transmite, te lleva de viaje y no existe nada más que la belleza de su voz. More!! More!!! More!!! Amé tu reacción!!! Saludos from Argentina!!!🧉🧉🧉🤗🤗🤗
I have followed her musical journey for some time now; I refer to her style as the "Angelina Effect" when she is singing; her voice penetrates your mind and soul. She is a true Jazz Artist that has introduced a new generation by mixing Jazz into all her music. True musical genius
Thanks for your sensitive reaction 🙏 A beautiful contralto with her rasp and Vibrato, she learned from Billie holiday. Look her first two songs from NGT.. Gloomy Sunday and I am a fool to want you acapella with perfect pitch. Or try one of her newest Suspicious Mind from Elvis. Be aware of her first notes, a warm and raspy resonate Sound. A Song with a strong message of Love 💕
Awesome reaction to The Master, who is 16 now! Check out her cover of "Suspicious Minds", an Elvis cover, she not only slowed it down, but rearranged the lyrics. You will see she pays homage to Elvis and Prescilla, something she does with every cover, God Bless!
Angelina's first Masterpiece IMO. Beautifully surreal and even ethereal in places like the time she sings "You're dadd...y's rich." When she hits that Daddy high note she is in another realm. Her world. The world of Angelina Jordan and we are right there with her! Jordan attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program But other than the basics she did not have specific vocal training. She absorbed this all herself immersing herself in Jazz on U-Tube from the age of 3 yrs old. Her family recognized the uniqueness of her voice and abilities and did not want to mess with it. This is all Angelina. She has chosen everything she does and has had a part if not total control of the arrangements from this same age. Prodigy? Yes there is video of her at 18 months old sing a couple of lines of 'I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston into a toy mic. ♥👣👸🏻🎷
“She’s a jazz singer.” Oh, William, you have no idea… I’ve heard many versions of this song by Angelina-each one different because, yes, Angelina is a jazz singer, playing with the melody and the timing even at 8 years old. Your journey with Angelina will turn you into an Angel, no question. It’s not just that she sings so well for a child-she just sings beautifully, uniquely across many genres. But jazz and blues are in her bones. There are so many jaw-dropping performances, but to understand how completely unique Angelina is, stay in this moment once more and watch Angelina, just turned 8, sing I’m a Fool to Want You in the style of one of her idols, Billie Holiday. Only, Angelina sings it a cappella, and she does not miss a note, and her interpretation makes you understand that you have never heard a child who lives the lyrics like Angelina. th-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/w-d-xo.html
"Everyone is astounded!" That's for sure!. Angelina has a tendency to do that. "She is extraordinary." So glad to hear that you agree. I sure think so, as do Angelina's ever-increasing group of "Angels." "She's a jazz singer." Oh, my! Yes, she is. Her grandmother, so it's said, fed her steady diet of standards and look what happened. One in a billion. So happy to see that you returned so quickly for more Angelina. It's always such a pleasure to see a knowledgeable pro like you reacting to Angelina. That C#5 always gets me; first because it's so darned beautiful and second because I've never heard anyone else sing that little segment the same way she did (and I've heard oodles of versions of "Summertime"). I totally agree with you that so much of what Angelina does is innate and can't really be taught. Looks like you might be headed for some more recent Angelina ... have fun! I'd suggest "7th Heaven," which is an Angelina original performed at age 15. th-cam.com/video/bM8DzMRbiIc/w-d-xo.html 😇
Watching Angelina at the beginning & end of singing, and seeing moments when her mind wanders during long instrumental sections between verses, and watching her in interviews; I see two distinctly different & unique personas: 1) an age appropriate awareness and reaction, and 2) ‘the singer’, the phenomenal timeless prodigy vocal artist who has an absolute control and mastery of the moment. - In an interview she has said, when she sings she enters a magical world where everything is endless and happy. (At an older age with more experience, she may be learning to embody them both simultaneously or to switch between them at will while singing.)
Her grandmother was a child prodigy. She has always been very close to Meri Zamani a famous painter and poet. Baby sitting young Angelina she would paint whilst listening to classical jazz. Angelina absorbed jazz from a baby. There is a short video of her singing with a mike as a baby under 2 years of age. I think it proves your hypothesis of having perfect pitch.
One thing you will learn about Angelina is her core being is goodness, sweetness and kindness. Other Angels will tell you the many stories about her. That makes her remarkable in itself. The one thing l will add is her unchildlike attitude toward performance. You did not note her lack of nerves in this performance. She just deeply loves to sing and in front of an audience. Her family has been very protective of her childhood and literally hold her back. Her work ethic and her musicality are monstrous elements. Jazz singer. Yes. If you look at her body language in Summertime there is no doubt she is personally in the song. One judge said it best."You are music."
Angelina is a prodigy. She started singing early and loves to sing. She also has a great ear, which allows her to mimic classic singers and learn techniques from them; what my guitar teacher used to call, "giving oneself a lesson." She has so many amazing recordings, (almost) all of which feature her remarkable emotional authenticity as she tells the tale of the song. I can't wait for you to hear I Put A Spell On You. Remember to choose the black & white video for Angelina in beast mode.
Superb reaction! There's a video out there somewhere of her in rehearsal for this performance with the trumpet player and the guitarist. You can see Angelina is quite sure about what she wants. I think, despite her young age, she is self-critical and works hard to get the performance she wants. I really advise you to watch her stunning version of I Put a Spell on You at age 9. As for her sound today, you can't do better than listen to something from her recent Norway concerts. I hope Bangkok is still hot and noisy. I lived there myself some time ago in Ramkanheng.
Love your reactions to her :) 'I put a spell on you' at 9, on her official channel, black and white video, that's one of the first for everyone every time. She has never again gone that wild since, which is likely good for her vocal health and growth. It's actually still one of her best despite her getting miles better and more versatile. It's actually the best version of that song ever recorded, subjective sure, but I don't think it ever won't be, the band and her were unreal. Of course, there is no wrong choice, no wrong order, 2 down over a hundred to go 😋 even though she doesn't even turn 17 til January.
Another great reaction by you. I read somewhere one time that Angelina's mother said only angelina picks her songs and she sings them the way she imagines. No Iconic song or artist Intimidates Angelina from singing it her way. She even sang a Japanese classic in Japanese In Japan.
I am really enjoying your comments and analysis since you've been reacting to Angelina. Your appreciation of her is written on your face! I'm looking forward to your venture down this rabbit hole from which you may never escape. FYI, Angelina's Official TH-cam channel just exceeded 750,000 subscribers, and the goal is to grow further and gain even more exposure! Reaction channels typically have similar goals, and if more viewers understood the importance of subscribing to both artists' AND reactor channels, they would do so, and help the cause. An increasing number of reaction channels are realizing this and are now educating their viewers on TH-cam analytics, while providing appropriate links in their description. All reactors should encourage fans to WATCH the artist's original video to the end, and to LIKE, SHARE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE to artists' and reactor channels. This boosts BOTH algorithms, and the reaction channel, artist, and fans ALL win! In addition to subscribing, I also suggest that your viewers watch your playlist of previous reactions. Peace and love.
We Angelina angels are proud to have started a movement in the music reaction world on TH-cam. When I first began watching music reaction videos, very few reactors encouraged their viewers to support the artist. Thankfully hundreds of music reaction channels are now implementing the suggestions Ron provided. Most viewers have no idea of the importance of watching a video in its entirety, engaging the like button and posting a comment and/or a reply to a comment. Reactors need to be educators to help their channel grow and to teach fans of an artist the FREE actions they can take to further the artists' career.
Yes, it seems even in her days as a younger artist she’s always been very aware of the musicians around her, her band, a soloist, from what I’ve noticed she’s always been really good at acknowledging and connecting to also make sure everyone’s on the same page, One of my favorite moments in I Put a Spell on You is when she’s not even singing, she looks over at the soloist with a two bar look, an acknowledgment that she’s about to come back in, I’ve been playing with bands for over 30 years And that kind of awareness and appreciation, it’s wonderful to see in her already at this age,✌️
She was, actually, looking at the trumpeter to let him know that he should play next. She was so aware of the arrangement, that she could interrupt his vocal flow, to - like a conductor - alert him to her entry into the arrangement. She is out of this world in such a young age.
Thanks for another great reaction to & appreciation of another masterful performance by Angelina - this time winning her the Norway's Got Talent competition at 8 years old. Yes - even at this young age she is an amazing jazz singer (& English is not her 1st language). A couple of other amazing performances while she was still 8: What A Difference A Day Makes - performed at a Norwegian outdoor summer music festival & her US debut on The View singing Fly Me To The Moon. That performance also includes a short interview in which she answers the question as to how old she was when she started singing. Looking forward to more of your Angelina reactions, Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
Angelina is a bona fide musical genius. She is currently sixteen years old. She will turn seventeen on January 10, 2023. As you saw in this performance she has been endowed with an extraordinary and highly developed intellect, intuition and instincts. Angelina has an extensive catalogue of her original material and cover songs. Angelina has been creating her own vocal arrangements of the covers she sings since she was competing in the Norway’s Got Talent competition, for which she won. There is Angelina and then there is everyone else. She is absolutely unique and she travels in her own lane. She has already achieved elite master class ability and yet, her voice is still evolving.
I love your comments, you are very knowledgeable in your craft. Our little barefoot princess is a musical genius. yes, she has perfect pitch and unreal musicality If you will, listen to her first original song what is life.
Angelina is 16 1/2 now she doing @13 Bohemian Rhapsody on America’s champions to now she done open up an concert in Norway since you want Nora‘s got talent she is a Norwegian treasure and she’s becoming a world traveler the more people hear her the more people love her she’s extraordinary a young example of a prodigy
William...right on schedule, your second stop (in Angelina's world) choice was well selected. Your desire...to take the express train forward to today's Angelina, well is not cost free. If you jump (there nothing wrong with that) forward. Your cost will be kind of like, breaking into your parents hiding space for your Xmas presents to see your presents in September. Its great to know what your getting, but its makes celebrating Christmas gift giving less exciting With this in mind, from ages 8 thru 13 Angelina covers so many classics songs (You will probably already have on your lifetime playlist). Pull up her cover list, and see. Your comment of Anneline being a Jazz Singer is correct. She also kills' , R & B, Classic Rock, Pop and Country. I think mist who follow her closely think she will settle for Jazz. I like to think Angelina's still figuring it out and well...It will be special when she does. Have fun in Angelinas World and watch your Ch grow with the Angeles!
Did you notice when she sings second verse "your ma is good looking" if you listen she wispers "don't you know" ....iv been wondering why, anyone else notice this?
Spot on with your analysis of prodigies and challenges they face as they mature. In your AJ journey, I think you’ll see the self awareness /criticism kick in when she’s 13-14. Makes sense. While her vocal and musical genius progresses, she regulates more the times she closes her eyes and inhabits her magic kingdom. Bittersweet to watch the loss of innocence but what we get with vocal growth and sophistication of arrangements is astonishing. I think comparing “Stay” and “Million Years Ago” to “Suspicious Minds” and “I have Nothing” best illustrates this.
Thank you Bonnie. I have a particular interest in child prodigies. It’s not siesta easy once puberty kicks in!! I need to do more on AJ as a young singer before seeing her more recent work. Will
@@BangkokVoiceCoach I believe Angelina has done an excellent job of progressively adjusting her execution while her physiology changes, and taken full advantage of the new abilities age brings with it. (Shortly before discovering Angelina, I happened across another young vocalist’s videos, and she clearly lost control of your voice when she went through puberty.)
Thanks for another wonderful reaction. You mentioned perfect pitch. I truly envy your awareness relative to my own. After watching many of Angelina’s recordings, listening to a variety of vocal & performance coaches, and watching the limited number of interviews with Angelina; my impression of her is that she probably has 1) an idyllic memory for sound, allowing her to remember everything she ever heard and giving her a wealth of knowledge to access at any time; 2) an abnormally sensitive perfect pitch, allowing her to hear finest of details in other singer voices; 3) an innate internal sense of timing, allowing her to know exactly where/when she is; and 4) developed incredible dexterity of her entire vocal tract, allowing her to not only mimic the sounds of other vocalists but to also emit the emotions those performers were experiencing during the original performances, without actually experiencing the emotions herself. Her ability transcends reproducing sounds, she re-emits the emotions of other vocalists.
Angelina Jordan excelling Jacki call the little jazz queen. She started out with you as it was one and a half. Thanks for running a grandmother understood the Jazz and she took a liking to Jan like a duck to the water. I just stayed all the great Ella Fitzgerald Billie Holiday yes I’m on. I know I went back for his Betsy Smith way back to the blues and Frank Sinatra Louis Armstrong, and especially Billie Holiday when she was considering me for a respite favorite singer of all time is known as the little guy jazz singer
William, Such a wonderful enjoyment to have you react to Angelina again so soon…watching you just soak in what simply pours out of this vocal princess. Your comments are spot-on. Months of amateur watching and listening arrived at the same conclusions as your astute professional senses in just two songs. I am truly looking forward to the advanced level of observation that you appear capable of taking us. (Surely others have or will comment, that Angelina has been well protected.)
When she looked at the trumpeter it was because he was wandering and not on the line she wanted, that's why she looked in his direction. He had stopped listening to her and was listening to some other thing in his own head.
AJ turned 16 on January 10th of 22. As for self-confidence, I believe that Angelina knows she is unique, to say the least, but she is so well grounded it has not gone to her head. She understands that one must earn the adoration she is receiving from BILLIONS of fans. An example of this was when she cried, trying to express how much she appreciated all of the fans that flew into Norway from all over the world for the 3 concerts she put on in June of this year. I am attaching a link to a video of one of the concerts that has the best sound. She sang 18 songs, and each was out of this world. th-cam.com/video/VkhcpiEqtgg/w-d-xo.html
Angelina’s original song, ‘Million Miles’, contains a phrase, “I’ll never regret what I do“. A fan reported that Angelina stated in an interview this message is from her grandfather’s advice; if you remain humble, then you will not regret your actions. So, I think of her singing these words as a promise to remain humble.
Great reaction, Will! I am often disappointed by “vocal coaches” who react to Angelina. They often try to analyze Angelina and comment on her technique and say things like “she should do THIS” and she “shouldn’t do THAT…”, rather than just express joy that this self taught genius can empart emotions better than any other singer in the world. I hope you do more Angelina reactions, not only will I enjoy watching your face as you discover her music, but I think you’ll enjoy the journey as well. I’m subscribing in the hope you’ll do more Angelina reactions!
Great review. You touched on something that doesn't get mentioned enough, namely her timing. Check out her cover of Feeling Good. There is a LOT of "negative space" especially in the intro, but A.J. is patient, with impeccable timing and kills this song.
William, so awesome that you are diving into the Angelina rabbit hole! There are so many wonderful experiences awaiting you with Angelina. I agree with @Poolhallshark comment earlier about doing a double reaction of "My Funny Valentine" at 10 years old and at 16 years old. You will be in awe of her sound! Subscribed today! And of course you must do "I Put A Spell On You (the black and white version) when she was 9 years old, your jaw will drop!
![HER VOICE IS OVERWHELMING! | Angelina Jordan: "Summertime" by George Gershwin [REACTION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/RZlDTUihU24/mqdefault.jpg)

She is a Superstar in the making... Further honing her skills, exploring all genres... But JAZZ,... that's what motivated her to be what she is today...

Thanks again - enjoying hearing this again and again❤
Angelina the goddess of voice and music is now on earth, she is a good angel. She is singing since she is 1 and a half years old, she is artist, poet and a excellent story teller, she was first singing jazz, befor she speaks 👑♥️🌹🌟

Aged 17 January 10th 2023 . very nice reaction , I wouldn't pigeonhole hole ANGELINA as solely as a jazz singer as some fans do as she she is able to sing most other genre , however her influences / inspiration came from the jazz arists past and present when she was at a very young age , probably around aged 4?
Angelina, my favorite singer, you are beginning to see why. I realize there are many great singers out there from many countries. I still choose Angelina, she is the total package, has been singing for years and only now 16 years old. Thumbs up for your journey, a wise decision. At this point I had better subscribe.
OH I loved your reaction to Angelina Jordan....i didnt know you had her on your list. I first found her straight after she won Norway's Got Talent at 6 or 7....love her low jazzy voice ...and i like YOUR voice too!!
Another awesome reaction to Angelina!!👍🏼🎼💞 More more more.😉👍🏼🤗
She said Ina interview that when she sings she is in another world and it's beautiful her natural talent is just unbelievable . Enjoyed your reaction
It's a delight to have a professional musician discover Angelina Jordan and realize what a major talent we have here among us. She did a version of Summertime with Kork, the Norwegian orchestra, about two years later. It's midsummer note-perfection. Her family are very protective and supportive of her. She's in LA now, and recording with Republic Records, who are also being protective. She's still only 16. I recommend something from her summer concerts in Norway this year. Thanks!
I think when she looked at the trumpet player, she was making sure he was playing according to her specifications. Remember that she has always been in charge of the musical arrangement. There’s a behind the scenes video of her guiding the trumpet player on how she wanted for him to play the tune. And yes! She has perfect pitch. There’s another video, when she was around the same age, in which she’s rehearsing with a small assembled and at one point she looks at the pianist and simply said “shouldn’t this have been half a note higher?” And the only thing he could do was laugh. Unbelievable! I think people concentrate so much on her amazing voice that they don’t pay enough attention to her musical arrangement and how amazing the musicians sound. And it’s because during rehearsal, she makes sure that everyone performs at their very best. Enjoy the journey, my friend.
Yes, and Angelina respects the musicians immensely. They affectionately refer to her as ‘the boss’.
@@dojoswitzer Yes!
I bet that as a musician like that pianist you mentioned, having learned notes, how to play instruments and all that, then for someone in her age noticing a half note hitting wrong and commenting on that. Probably blew his mind out of proportion so much that as you said, he could not do anything else but laugh and appreciate the genius that She is. And from that day know when he is in the presence of raw geniuses & talent there is no point of pulling an excuse or something, just accept it and say sorry my bad xD
Angelina decides for herself. When it comes to the actual training and choice of songs etc., it has always been Angelina who made all the choices and decisions. Parents and others, on the other hand, have asked her to take it a little easier sometimes. Angelina is very special and her own driving force. Ever since she was 3-4 years old! Of course, all relatives and frends, have helped and protected her. Angelina and her closest, decided early on that she would have as normal a childhood as possible. Even when she won NGT, 8 years old, many wanted to sign a contract. Everyone was dismissed! Even Disney. And this Norwegian girl sings in English! Do you know that she speaks several languages. I'm so grateful for everything she gives me. / A Swedish Viking
I am so happy to have found your channel and am loving watching you discover Angelina. Her singing brings so much joy and on top of that she has grown into a warm and compassionate young woman. Lovely to see experts such as yourself recognise her abilities with such eloquence.
Should be sleeping here in western Canada, but love reactions to our amazing Angelina. Good morning Bangkok!
Hello Maria!! I have a cousin in Canada called Maria too!! Get some sleep. 🤣Will
Hello again, WIll! Thank you very much for yet another amazing reaction to Angelina🙂 - I am beyond happy that you got back to Angelina THIS quickly. That tells me that she really caught your interest, just like I expected, or at least hoped.
Angelina is currently 16 years 9 months old. I heard you say that you want to hear something newer from her, and if so, I have the PERFECT suggestion, particularly when taking your background into account :
On Valentine's Day this year (Feb 8th I believe) she dropped a new rendition of "My Funny Valentine", the 1937 jazz standard that has been included in 1300+ albums and have been performed by hundreds of artists through the years. IMO this is her most beautiful performance to date. The reason why I say a NEW rendition of the song is due to the fact that she also made a rendition of it exactly 6 years earlier, at the age of 10. Both performances are ABSOLUTELY beautiful. I have made this suggestion to a lot of reactors, and quite a few have done it. My suggestion is to make a double reaction to them, as they work as a perfect example of her evolution through those 6 years. And you also get to see how Angelina sounds and looks as of RIGHT NOW. (9 months ago...😁) Angelina currently stands 6'1 (1m 85 cm) tall, and can probably take up on modelling should her voice somehow fail her (God forbid! ) Definitely no SMALL girl anymore😉 I'll give you the link to both performances here :
"My Funny Valentine", Angelina age 10 : th-cam.com/video/sZ25H4a2gPI/w-d-xo.html
"My Funny Valentine", Angelina age 16 : th-cam.com/video/ETGLbsGDAI0/w-d-xo.html
Have a great weekend, my friend! I hope to see you back with Angelina soon😊 Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
I second this request!
I third this request. The 10 yo version is amazing & off the charts on the cuteness scale. The 16 yo version is by far the best version I've ever heard by any of the legendary singers, male or female, EVER. It's a Masterclass in vocal dynamics & control and it is so fricken beautiful it makes me cry!
Thank you for you lovely message. My Funny Valentine is a big favourite of mine. Have you seen it featured in the movie The Talented Mr Ripley? So eery!
@@BangkokVoiceCoach Agreed! LOL
@@frankphillips5660 👍
That C#5 note in this song was exquisite, if you want to hear AJ singing low notes listen to her How Great Thou Art.
Yes her C# was perfection. ❤️
Her cover of How Great Thou Art is unreal. Down to C3, sounds like baritone.

Yes, she has perfect pitch and timing, but her phrasing is what makes her a prodigy and a true artist!
Greetings, William! This is my 2nd meeting with you to hear Angelina Jordan sing. There is so much about this performance of "Summertime" that I love. Your notes on screen have highlighted some of them. Thank you so much for the expertise in your reaction. Angelina is 16 yo in 2022. Her birthday is in January. I shall look for your next Angelina Jordan reaction video. This is Grandma Ellen from the PNW area of USA, over and out. 💜
All of your observations and comments are exactly on point. Recognizing Angelina as a child prodigy is very accurate. Angelina kept asking her mom to go on Norways Got Talent, finally threatening to call Simon herself Her family has protected her and preserved her childhood. They turned away Disney and many others before signing with Republic Records, the biggest US label, at age 14 who agreed to allow her to finish school and continue to learn. Please continue the journey Angelina with us 🍁
Early evening here in Hobart, Tasmania ... we 'Angels' believe Angelina has been well sheltered by her close-knit family from exploitation by the industry so far, especially since they all moved to the US to further her career ... R 🇦🇺
Oh yes she's extraordinary!
Thankfully she has great support with her mother, sister and her Uncle(manager). I believe her greatest supporter is her Grandmother Marri.💗💗💗
Very insightful analysis about the fact that she is a natural. She is self taught by listening to 1000's of hours of jazz greats on YT from a toddler on. She never had a vocal coach, because her mother said they didn't want to mess with her unique style. She never sings a song the same way twice, because she sings it as she is "feeling" it in the moment. Her riffs, runs & ad libs just comes out of her mouth, off the cuff. Now at 16, she's the best I've ever heard in my 75 years.
As far as it looks from the outside she stems from a family of artists (japanese, iranian, swedish and norwegian backgrounds) who is taking care of her, managing her, watching over her. Today she has a contract with Republic that gives her artistic freedom and time to finish school first. Her first album will come out next year, after she has turned 17.
wolfgang The only artist in the family is grandma.
@@103mrg uncle Michael was a DJ and at a very early age.
I agree the her amazing technical abilities are not what makes her great. It’s singing from her hear to yours and penetrating to the soul that has her standing out of the field of greats.
She sings in butterfly wings, all the lilts and flutters are as light and striking as a butterfly's wings.
Angelina seems to as easily deliver a vocal performance full of nuance and complexity as she does to simultaneously deliver the emotional payload of a piece. While she works hard at her craft, including listening to many artists from many decades, where the line between instinctive and active decisions she makes is hard to know. Whatever it is, it works and we are fortunate to be able to watch her artistry develop!
Her timing in difficult songs is beyond astonishing. Listen to her sing Every Time You Say Goodbye aged 10.
My fav version of Summertime is 10yr old Angelina with Kork orchestra
She is very well protected
...and another great reaction - so professional comments and profund remarks... thanks a billion, William 🙂
She was looking over at the band to make sure they do things right because she made the arrangement herself. There is at least one video of her behind stage instructing the musicians on what she requests them to do. Yes perfect pitch and timing, but she's even more. She has the musical sense of a seasoned adult singer.
one of my favorite performances of Angelina😇🤩
Great reaction Will. The comments, the editing, the snap shots are so all pro status. Your observations, words of wisdom and singing are amazing and wonderful having you along.
The love from the judges and the rest of manKind began and continues today
How Great Thou Art, I agree, is... speech defying...
Yup. She's a jazz singer and a remarkable one at that. Even at 8, she defies logic. Check out the rest of her NGT performances, you won't regret it. 😎
Angelina is a Vocal Goddess, and she is always amazing, and mesmerizing.
Will, you picked a good one! George Gershwin's spirit is dancing around on the clouds whenever he hears Angelina sing this classic.
Her poise and confidence is something artists spend a lifetime trying to establish. For Angelina it comes naturally and she's totally comfortable singing for an audience.
Thank you for joining us, Will. I can tell all of us are going to like your reactions very, very much.
Great reaction again! I’ve subscribed to your channel to follow your Angelina journey! You are going to be blown away!!!🇳🇴
AJ has been killing us softly since she was 7 years old, and now she is taking the world by storm. How does one explain her abilities? The truth is, there aren't enough words because there is no one in our past, or more than likely in our future that will affect mankind as much as she has in the short period of time, she has been alive. AJ awakens a need within us that we had long forgotten. Peace.
If you're interested in her range, it is C3-F#5. Lower than contralto, closer to tenor in low range.
Thank you for your reaction. You have to watch her first performance on NGT " Gloomy Sunday" when she was 7 and her second song ( talking about perfect pitch ) " I'm a fool to want you" acapella.
"She's a jazz singer!" You nailed it! Please continue your Angelina Jordan journey, you seem to understand her so good!
Good morning William. Its 12.30 at daytime now in Norway 🇳🇴 I see it is 30 minutes since you reacted to Angelina. She's a prodigy. She has birthday 01.10.23. And become 17. She's born in 2006.👍 Love from Norway 🇳🇴
Hello Elizabeth, 6 or 7 hours ahead in Thailand depending on the time of year!! It’s always “Summertime” here!! 🙏

She Is increíble!! Toca tres instrumentos, compone sus letras y música y hace sus arreglos de los covers, corrigió una orquesta, dona millones de dólares a caridad, canta descalza por los niños de la calle, y su voz es de otro mundo, no solo por su tono sinó por lo que transmite, te lleva de viaje y no existe nada más que la belleza de su voz. More!! More!!! More!!! Amé tu reacción!!! Saludos from Argentina!!!🧉🧉🧉🤗🤗🤗
I have followed her musical journey for some time now; I refer to her style as the "Angelina Effect" when she is singing; her voice penetrates your mind and soul. She is a true Jazz Artist that has introduced a new generation by mixing Jazz into all her music. True musical genius
Thanks for your sensitive reaction 🙏 A beautiful contralto with her rasp and Vibrato, she learned from Billie holiday. Look her first two songs from NGT.. Gloomy Sunday and I am a fool to want you acapella with perfect pitch.
Or try one of her newest Suspicious Mind from Elvis. Be aware of her first notes, a warm and raspy resonate Sound. A Song with a strong message of Love 💕
Angelina, Dimash and Diana should go on a world-wide tour together.
I can dream, can't I?
This is a great idea. But Dimash gets top billing!!!
You have to react to Angelina singing "What a difference a day makes" When she was 8.
Awesome reaction to The Master, who is 16 now! Check out her cover of "Suspicious Minds", an Elvis cover, she not only slowed it down, but rearranged the lyrics. You will see she pays homage to Elvis and Prescilla, something she does with every cover, God Bless!
Angelina's first Masterpiece IMO. Beautifully surreal and even ethereal in places like the time she sings "You're dadd...y's rich." When she hits that Daddy high note she is in another realm. Her world. The world of Angelina Jordan and we are right there with her!
Jordan attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program
But other than the basics she did not have specific vocal training. She absorbed this all herself immersing herself in Jazz on U-Tube from the age of 3 yrs old. Her family recognized the uniqueness of her voice and abilities and did not want to mess with it. This is all Angelina. She has chosen everything she does and has had a part if not total control of the arrangements from this same age.
Prodigy? Yes there is video of her at 18 months old sing a couple of lines of 'I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston into a toy mic. ♥👣👸🏻🎷
“She’s a jazz singer.” Oh, William, you have no idea… I’ve heard many versions of this song by Angelina-each one different because, yes, Angelina is a jazz singer, playing with the melody and the timing even at 8 years old. Your journey with Angelina will turn you into an Angel, no question. It’s not just that she sings so well for a child-she just sings beautifully, uniquely across many genres. But jazz and blues are in her bones. There are so many jaw-dropping performances, but to understand how completely unique Angelina is, stay in this moment once more and watch Angelina, just turned 8, sing I’m a Fool to Want You in the style of one of her idols, Billie Holiday. Only, Angelina sings it a cappella, and she does not miss a note, and her interpretation makes you understand that you have never heard a child who lives the lyrics like Angelina. th-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/w-d-xo.html
YES! That acappella performance is a miracle! How can she hide a band in that hair :) ?
@@alexanderholthoer8972 😂😂😂
"Everyone is astounded!" That's for sure!. Angelina has a tendency to do that.
"She is extraordinary." So glad to hear that you agree. I sure think so, as do Angelina's ever-increasing group of "Angels."
"She's a jazz singer." Oh, my! Yes, she is. Her grandmother, so it's said, fed her steady diet of standards and look what happened. One in a billion.
So happy to see that you returned so quickly for more Angelina. It's always such a pleasure to see a knowledgeable pro like you reacting to Angelina. That C#5 always gets me; first because it's so darned beautiful and second because I've never heard anyone else sing that little segment the same way she did (and I've heard oodles of versions of "Summertime"). I totally agree with you that so much of what Angelina does is innate and can't really be taught. Looks like you might be headed for some more recent Angelina ... have fun! I'd suggest "7th Heaven," which is an Angelina original performed at age 15. th-cam.com/video/bM8DzMRbiIc/w-d-xo.html 😇
I assure you: There is no one like AJ !!!😊
Watching Angelina at the beginning & end of singing, and seeing moments when her mind wanders during long instrumental sections between verses, and watching her in interviews; I see two distinctly different & unique personas: 1) an age appropriate awareness and reaction, and 2) ‘the singer’, the phenomenal timeless prodigy vocal artist who has an absolute control and mastery of the moment. - In an interview she has said, when she sings she enters a magical world where everything is endless and happy.
(At an older age with more experience, she may be learning to embody them both simultaneously or to switch between them at will while singing.)
Her grandmother was a child prodigy. She has always been very close to Meri Zamani a famous painter and poet. Baby sitting young Angelina she would paint whilst listening to classical jazz. Angelina absorbed jazz from a baby. There is a short video of her singing with a mike as a baby under 2 years of age. I think it proves your hypothesis of having perfect pitch.
Angelina is 16 1/2 and singing better than ever, much fuller and mature at now. She’s a gift.
One thing you will learn about Angelina is her core being is goodness, sweetness and kindness. Other Angels will tell you the many stories about her. That makes her remarkable in itself. The one thing l will add is her unchildlike attitude toward performance. You did not note her lack of nerves in this performance. She just deeply loves to sing and in front of an audience. Her family has been very protective of her childhood and literally hold her back. Her work ethic and her musicality are monstrous elements. Jazz singer. Yes. If you look at her body language in Summertime there is no doubt she is personally in the song. One judge said it best."You are music."
Angelina is a prodigy. She started singing early and loves to sing. She also has a great ear, which allows her to mimic classic singers and learn techniques from them; what my guitar teacher used to call, "giving oneself a lesson." She has so many amazing recordings, (almost) all of which feature her remarkable emotional authenticity as she tells the tale of the song. I can't wait for you to hear I Put A Spell On You. Remember to choose the black & white video for Angelina in beast mode.
Angelina Jordan is Prodigy
If you think she was good at eight years old try listening to when she was six years old in a studio singing “I who have nothing”
Great suggestion! Prodigy of the highest level. Just doing what comes naturally. 🔥👼🤪
Superb reaction! There's a video out there somewhere of her in rehearsal for this performance with the trumpet player and the guitarist. You can see Angelina is quite sure about what she wants. I think, despite her young age, she is self-critical and works hard to get the performance she wants. I really advise you to watch her stunning version of I Put a Spell on You at age 9. As for her sound today, you can't do better than listen to something from her recent Norway concerts. I hope Bangkok is still hot and noisy. I lived there myself some time ago in Ramkanheng.
Love your reactions to her :) 'I put a spell on you' at 9, on her official channel, black and white video, that's one of the first for everyone every time. She has never again gone that wild since, which is likely good for her vocal health and growth. It's actually still one of her best despite her getting miles better and more versatile. It's actually the best version of that song ever recorded, subjective sure, but I don't think it ever won't be, the band and her were unreal. Of course, there is no wrong choice, no wrong order, 2 down over a hundred to go 😋 even though she doesn't even turn 17 til January.
Another great reaction by you. I read somewhere one time that Angelina's mother said only angelina picks her songs and she sings them the way she imagines. No Iconic song or artist Intimidates Angelina from singing it her way. She even sang a Japanese classic in Japanese In Japan.
I am really enjoying your comments and analysis since you've been reacting to Angelina. Your appreciation of her is written on your face! I'm looking forward to your venture down this rabbit hole from which you may never escape.
FYI, Angelina's Official TH-cam channel just exceeded 750,000 subscribers, and the goal is to grow further and gain even more exposure! Reaction channels typically have similar goals, and if more viewers understood the importance of subscribing to both artists' AND reactor channels, they would do so, and help the cause. An increasing number of reaction channels are realizing this and are now educating their viewers on TH-cam analytics, while providing appropriate links in their description. All reactors should encourage fans to WATCH the artist's original video to the end, and to LIKE, SHARE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE to artists' and reactor channels. This boosts BOTH algorithms, and the reaction channel, artist, and fans ALL win! In addition to subscribing, I also suggest that your viewers watch your playlist of previous reactions. Peace and love.
We Angelina angels are proud to have started a movement in the music reaction world on TH-cam. When I first began watching music reaction videos, very few reactors encouraged their viewers to support the artist. Thankfully hundreds of music reaction channels are now implementing the suggestions Ron provided. Most viewers have no idea of the importance of watching a video in its entirety, engaging the like button and posting a comment and/or a reply to a comment. Reactors need to be educators to help their channel grow and to teach fans of an artist the FREE actions they can take to further the artists' career.
I thoroughly enjoy your reaction and your discovery of Angelina. Tysm!
Yes, it seems even in her days as a younger artist she’s always been very aware of the musicians around her, her band, a soloist, from what I’ve noticed she’s always been really good at acknowledging and connecting to also make sure everyone’s on the same page, One of my favorite moments in I Put a Spell on You is when she’s not even singing, she looks over at the soloist with a two bar look, an acknowledgment that she’s about to come back in, I’ve been playing with bands for over 30 years And that kind of awareness and appreciation, it’s wonderful to see in her already at this age,✌️
Great reaction! Her voice goes right to the Heart. It’s so healing. ❤
She was, actually, looking at the trumpeter to let him know that he should play next. She was so aware of the arrangement, that she could interrupt his vocal flow, to - like a conductor - alert him to her entry into the arrangement. She is out of this world in such a young age.
That’s awesome. I hope the trumpeter knew his music!
Thanks for another great reaction to & appreciation of another masterful performance by Angelina - this time winning her the Norway's Got Talent competition at 8 years old. Yes - even at this young age she is an amazing jazz singer (& English is not her 1st language). A couple of other amazing performances while she was still 8: What A Difference A Day Makes - performed at a Norwegian outdoor summer music festival & her US debut on The View singing Fly Me To The Moon. That performance also includes a short interview in which she answers the question as to how old she was when she started singing. Looking forward to more of your Angelina reactions, Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
Angelina is a bona fide musical genius. She is currently sixteen years old. She will turn seventeen on January 10, 2023.
As you saw in this performance she has been endowed with an extraordinary and highly developed intellect, intuition and instincts. Angelina has an extensive catalogue of her original material and cover songs. Angelina has been creating her own vocal arrangements of the covers she sings since she was competing in the Norway’s Got Talent competition, for which she won.
There is Angelina and then there is everyone else. She is absolutely unique and she travels in her own lane. She has already achieved elite master class ability and yet, her voice is still evolving.
I love your comments, you are very knowledgeable in your craft. Our little barefoot princess is a musical genius. yes, she has perfect pitch and unreal musicality If you will, listen to her first original song what is life.
the more I listen to her the deeper into my soul it gets .
Angelina is 16 1/2 now she doing @13 Bohemian Rhapsody on America’s champions to now she done open up an concert in Norway since you want Nora‘s got talent she is a Norwegian treasure and she’s becoming a world traveler the more people hear her the more people love her she’s extraordinary a young example of a prodigy
This girl is an absolute treasure. Keep going Sir. It is a journey you want to take.
William...right on schedule, your second stop (in Angelina's world) choice was well selected. Your desire...to take the express train forward to today's Angelina, well is not cost free. If you jump (there nothing wrong with that) forward. Your cost will be kind of like, breaking into your parents hiding space for your Xmas presents to see your presents in September. Its great to know what your getting, but its makes celebrating Christmas gift giving less exciting
With this in mind, from ages 8 thru 13 Angelina covers so many classics songs (You will probably already have on your lifetime playlist). Pull up her cover list, and see.
Your comment of Anneline being a Jazz Singer is correct. She also kills' , R & B, Classic Rock, Pop and Country. I think mist who follow her closely think she will settle for Jazz. I like to think Angelina's still figuring it out and well...It will be special when she does. Have fun in Angelinas World and watch your Ch grow with the Angeles!
Angelina is 16 1/2 now Prodigy
Her family got her like a hawk
Y from Norway today back to USA tomorrow
Did you notice when she sings second verse "your ma is good looking" if you listen she wispers "don't you know" ....iv been wondering why, anyone else notice this?
My secret dream: lock Angelina and Dimash up in a studio together 😂😂
Thank U, yet again and Greatings from an old Danish Dear and Angel 🌷❤️🇩🇰

And your name is on the Singapore TV thing and what a difference a day makes I watched it on her voice is immaculate and I said
Spot on with your analysis of prodigies and challenges they face as they mature. In your AJ journey, I think you’ll see the self awareness /criticism kick in when she’s 13-14. Makes sense. While her vocal and musical genius progresses, she regulates more the times she closes her eyes and inhabits her magic kingdom. Bittersweet to watch the loss of innocence but what we get with vocal growth and sophistication of arrangements is astonishing. I think comparing “Stay” and “Million Years Ago” to “Suspicious Minds” and “I have Nothing” best illustrates this.
Thank you Bonnie. I have a particular interest in child prodigies. It’s not siesta easy once puberty kicks in!! I need to do more on AJ as a young singer before seeing her more recent work. Will
@@BangkokVoiceCoach I believe Angelina has done an excellent job of progressively adjusting her execution while her physiology changes, and taken full advantage of the new abilities age brings with it.
(Shortly before discovering Angelina, I happened across another young vocalist’s videos, and she clearly lost control of your voice when she went through puberty.)
I think she's looking over to make sure the trumpet player is ready for his entrance.
Thanks for another wonderful reaction. You mentioned perfect pitch. I truly envy your awareness relative to my own.
After watching many of Angelina’s recordings, listening to a variety of vocal & performance coaches, and watching the limited number of interviews with Angelina; my impression of her is that she probably has 1) an idyllic memory for sound, allowing her to remember everything she ever heard and giving her a wealth of knowledge to access at any time; 2) an abnormally sensitive perfect pitch, allowing her to hear finest of details in other singer voices; 3) an innate internal sense of timing, allowing her to know exactly where/when she is; and 4) developed incredible dexterity of her entire vocal tract, allowing her to not only mimic the sounds of other vocalists but to also emit the emotions those performers were experiencing during the original performances, without actually experiencing the emotions herself. Her ability transcends reproducing sounds, she re-emits the emotions of other vocalists.
Please, react to more Angelina!!!!!
Angelina Jordan excelling Jacki call the little jazz queen. She started out with you as it was one and a half. Thanks for running a grandmother understood the Jazz and she took a liking to Jan like a duck to the water. I just stayed all the great Ella Fitzgerald Billie Holiday yes I’m on. I know I went back for his Betsy Smith way back to the blues and Frank Sinatra Louis Armstrong, and especially Billie Holiday when she was considering me for a respite favorite singer of all time is known as the little guy jazz singer
William, Such a wonderful enjoyment to have you react to Angelina again so soon…watching you just soak in what simply pours out of this vocal princess. Your comments are spot-on. Months of amateur watching and listening arrived at the same conclusions as your astute professional senses in just two songs. I am truly looking forward to the advanced level of observation that you appear capable of taking us.
(Surely others have or will comment, that Angelina has been well protected.)
When she looked at the trumpeter it was because he was wandering and not on the line she wanted, that's why she looked in his direction. He had stopped listening to her and was listening to some other thing in his own head.
You are speculating!!! 😄
AJ turned 16 on January 10th of 22. As for self-confidence, I believe that Angelina knows she is unique, to say the least, but she is so well grounded it has not gone to her head. She understands that one must earn the adoration she is receiving from BILLIONS of fans. An example of this was when she cried, trying to express how much she appreciated all of the fans that flew into Norway from all over the world for the 3 concerts she put on in June of this year. I am attaching a link to a video of one of the concerts that has the best sound. She sang 18 songs, and each was out of this world. th-cam.com/video/VkhcpiEqtgg/w-d-xo.html
Angelina’s original song, ‘Million Miles’, contains a phrase, “I’ll never regret what I do“. A fan reported that Angelina stated in an interview this message is from her grandfather’s advice; if you remain humble, then you will not regret your actions. So, I think of her singing these words as a promise to remain humble.
I William a William from USA while I was in Norway then
Debes escuchar I put a spell on you. Video blanco y negro. Ella hizo el arreglo con 9 años!!!!
Hi William. Angelina was 17 about 10 days ago. Isn't she amazing.
Just subscribed for our beautiful Angel, Angelina.
She exerted a pronounced vibrato here, which, I believe, should express "a baby crying" as narrated in the lyrics.
Great reaction, Will! I am often disappointed by “vocal coaches” who react to Angelina. They often try to analyze Angelina and comment on her technique and say things like “she should do THIS” and she “shouldn’t do THAT…”, rather than just express joy that this self taught genius can empart emotions better than any other singer in the world. I hope you do more Angelina reactions, not only will I enjoy watching your face as you discover her music, but I think you’ll enjoy the journey as well. I’m subscribing in the hope you’ll do more Angelina reactions!
Great review. You touched on something that doesn't get mentioned enough, namely her timing. Check out her cover of Feeling Good. There is a LOT of "negative space" especially in the intro, but A.J. is patient, with impeccable timing and kills this song.
Good point Mike. xWill
William, so awesome that you are diving into the Angelina rabbit hole! There are so many wonderful experiences awaiting you with Angelina. I agree with @Poolhallshark comment earlier about doing a double reaction of "My Funny Valentine" at 10 years old and at 16 years old. You will be in awe of her sound! Subscribed today! And of course you must do "I Put A Spell On You (the black and white version) when she was 9 years old, your jaw will drop!
Talking about an old soul.
She loves jazz and Billie holiday.
