@@TeeSpicerReacts I think it has to do with mind over matter. Angelina's music makes it easier for me to maintain a positive attitude, therefore less stress on the body.
Fantastic reaction, yes a jaw dropping performance! After hearing "My Funny Valentine, she is the greatest, just think she has minimum 10 years voice growth yet, no one in her league! I mean no one, God Bless!
Such exciting times,behind the scenes AJ and her team are getting ready to unleash her on the musical scene.Imagine the live performances,tv appearances,album,duets,special venues!!
Thanks Tee for bringing us this one. To me it is one of the most spectacular renditions of this classic song there is. Master class vocals from Angelina would be an understatement on this song. This one is in my top 150 from Angelina :)). Thanks for sharing Tee, stay safe and healthy.
I tried to keep a list of what you have not done, and I found it, but I messed up and did not have this one on there. Your list might be a better way to do it than the old playlist (easier to scroll through). This was wonderful, with her deep voice she was giving Frank a nod. I loved it.
Thank you for reacting to this awesome performance by the Barefoot Angel. Angelina is always amazing at 6 or 16 years old; with Angelina age doesn't matter.
Tee, this one for sure was right in your wheelhouse! Angelina shocked me with this one when I first heard it a couple years ago. Her low register amazed me, but what got to me even further was her ability to sing two different registers in the same song. She was actually playing the role of two different singers as a Duo. By the way you said that you were really overcome by the fact that she sang so low. I don't remember if you ever reacted to How Great thou art? Let me know and if not I will request it. She goes even lower there!
@@TeeSpicerReacts , I loved your "jaw-dropping" reaction! I feel the same way! She sounds and looks like she just stepped out of a time machine from the 1940's in this video! If you think this was lowww, wait until you hear her sing "How Great Thou Art"! She sings it in the same register as Elvis did!
I remember Frank singing it with a female singer in a duet. Love that Angelina decided to do the duo version by herself. She's just so pleasing to listen to and this is no exception.
@@TeeSpicerReacts Since she easily can handle the upper registers and lower ones equally as easily, she could coordinate with just about any A-List male singer, having him take either the high road or the low road. It's something worth thinking about for when she decides to have guests appearing in one of her concerts or TV specials that may be on the horizon. All I can say to any potential male singer thinking about accompanying her, you better bring your 'A' Game LOL
That was just so good! I love your reaction - yes Angelina makes me feel so young! I guess that Mery had a hand in the setup here, the 1940's hairstyle and the blue dress. She sings it so much better than it was in the movie with Charles Smith. For me it is like she is singing the duet, but has both parts, Frank is no longer with us, so what else can a girl do?
If that is a question for AJ. That's a dangerous question that I think none of us are prepared for the answer....I know for certain, I may or may not get a heart attack or faint...idk yet 🤣🤣😍🥰
I don't know if you know but Victory Vizanska (She use to sing for the Sixters and has a few of her own videos) has made it out of Ukraine with her mother.
Oh, that is so great! Yes, I do know her. I did a few reactions on the other channel of her. (Some from you Still, LOL) Do you know if the girls got out?
Where does Angelina's deep voice come from? How does she do some of the amazing things we hear from her voice? Note that Angelina has a long neck due to her height (estimated as 6’ give or take an inch) and may have a larger larynx (i.e., voice box) than the average woman. (1) Angelina is probably a contralto with the possibility of singing at a higher level. A contralto is what the lowest female singing voice is called. This vocal range is rare. The range typically falls between the F below middle C (F3 in scientific pitch notation) to the second F above middle C (F5), although, at the extremes, some voices can reach the D below middle C (D3) or the second B♭ above middle C (B♭5). Since Angelina has made so many covers of many types of songs, it may be possible to determine her effective singing range, or the range she is willing to comfortably sing within. This would require analyzing the notes she sang across the spectrum of songs she has sung and published. (2) So where does Angelina's beautiful voice come from? Let us go over how a voice is produced per a summary of tutorials provided by the National Center for Voice and Speech. The NCVS conducts research, educates vocologists, disseminates information about voice and speech, and provides referral services to help people around the world enjoy healthy and effective vocal communications. The NCVS has a nice tutorial on voice production based upon their book "Principles of Voice Production" which goes into scientific detail that they said should include knowledge of basic acoustics and some familiarity of college physics. (3) The human voice is classified into various types, based on pitch, timbre, and various other factors that influence our perception of someone's voice, or how that voice can be used. It appears that one critical aspect of voice production has to do with one's fundamental frequency (i.e., Fo). Baby cries have a Fo of around 500 Hz (roughly corresponding to the note B4). Child speech ranges from 250-400 Hz (notes B3 to G4). Adult females tend to speak at around 200 Hz on average (about G3), and adult males around 125 Hz (or B2). (4) As one would probably assume, one's larynx is quite important to voice production. The larynx is the hollow muscular organ forming an air passage to the lungs and holding the vocal cords in humans and other mammals. It sits at the back of the throat, above the windpipe (trachea). The larynx is supported by rings of cartilage, which in men (and occasionally a woman) form the bump of the Adam's apple. The vocal cords are stretchy bands of tissue attached to the inside of the larynx. Air passing in and out of the lungs is pushed through these cords. Everyone's larynx grows during puberty, but a girl's larynx doesn't grow as much as a boy's does. In fact, a man's larynx grows roughly 40% larger (taller and in length) than does a woman's larynx. This larger larynx gives men deeper voices than woman. But there is a tad more involved than just the size of one's larynx. (5) Note that the 40% size difference of the larynx between men and women does not account for the roughly 60% difference in production of the Fo. Thus, there must be something else. The key variable is the length of the part of the vocal folds within the larynx that is in vibration, which is called the effective vocal fold length. The difference here between men and women is about 60% and we have some indication of where the pitch difference comes from. (6) Along with pitch, another variable used to classify voices is their quality, or timbre. Timbre is related to the length of the vocal tract. Different vocalists have different vocal tract lengths. To a limited degree singers can control the tract length by raising or lowering the larynx. A longer tract results in a 'darker'-sounding voice, while shorter tracts will make the voice sound 'brighter'. Note that the length of the vocal tract is largely determined by nature. Some of us are born with necks that are swan-like, while others are quite short. (7) So, it appears that Angelina has been gifted with height and both a longer neck and possibly a larger larynx than the average woman. She thus has lower pitch to be able to produce a lower Fo, plus has a longer vocal track to produce a 'darker'-sounding voice. Add to this the fantastic breath control and a wonderful sense of musicality, and one has a singing prodigy. We all are fortunate to be alive to witness such a rare combination that, in my opinion, is producing a new singing genius.
WOW! Didn't I say I was old and forgetful? No, seriously. This was amazing. Thank you for your complete explanation of how it was possible of AJ to have his vocal range. My mind is 🤯
Apologize that some below you may have already reacted to on your prior channel, but I do not know which songs you did there. As you know, there are also mashups of Angelina with either original artist and/or instrumental band. Some of these are truly incredible. Some examples include following. ---- Ain’t No Sunshine [Angelina was 12 years-old. This is Bill Withers classic 1971 R&B hit. Musicians Hank Roberts (great cello), Brian Wilson (drums), Mike Stark (piano) and Anna Coogan (guitar) originally performed song for singer Canen. Mashup was created using Angelina’s simple cover and band making fantastic composition: th-cam.com/video/JyziJiJ1HYg/w-d-xo.html] ---- Crazy (as 12-year old, Angelina sung song live at Kongsberg Jazz Festival in 2018. Mashup of Festival audio and two rehearsal videos with some of best audio/video editing that you will witness and makes it truly look like rehearsal of this Patsy Cline/Willie Nelson 1961 hit country song. Amazing: th-cam.com/video/RI9s_Qp7X_g/w-d-xo.html) ---- Easy On Me (Angelina was 15-years old when she released cover video of Adele’s latest hit song from 2021. This mashup combines Angelina’s cover and snipets of Adele’s official video of song plus video-only pieces of 9-year old Angelina performing I Put A Spell On You and few frames of Angelina and her grandmother Mery from studio recording of I'm A Fool To Want You by 11-year old Angelina for her album It’s Magic. Tough to tell difference between Angelina’s and Adele’s voices: th-cam.com/video/OXtRa4FlhMM/w-d-xo.html) ---- Back To Black (mashup remix of 10-year old Angelina’s cover video of Back to Black done with KORK orchestra and Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black music video. Snipets of Amy singing compared with Angelina’s voice makes them seem like duplicates of each other: th-cam.com/video/Ly82w_iIrh4/w-d-xo.html) ---- All Of Me (Angelina was 13-years old. This mashup shows how Angelina pays homage and is true to original song. Combines Angelina’s home video recording with sophisticated music video of John Legend playing piano and singing his smash hit song with violinist Lindsey Stirling playing accompaniment. Mashup creates virtual duet that seems like it is original recording of Angelina singing duet with John Legend: th-cam.com/video/i0rSKumJE8s/w-d-xo.html) ---- Sign Of The Times (mashup of short TikTok cover by 15-year old Angelina with snipets of Harry Styles singing his hit song on his BBC produced TV show Harry Styles At The BBC. This creates a virtual duet that is mind-blowing as one really is given impression that they are singing duet together. Unfortunately is only 2 minutes long and thus not complete song: th-cam.com/video/8glJLHUd7uo/w-d-xo.html)
Did I mention that along with Lara Fabian (who I JUST discovered), AJ is my favourite solo artist right now? BTW, same question, as I have done all of these performances on my previous channel. Would you care if I re-reacted to them? However, although I did 'Crazy' I didn't do the Live version, did this as well but not the mashup Back to Black, I've done 'All of Me' on this channel (not the mashup) and I haven't done 'Sign of the Times' at all.
@@TeeSpicerReacts When AJ created "Angelina Jordan CoverChannel" on July 31, 2017, the second cover she did was "Crazy" with Egil Clausen on guitar. It was published on September 17, 2017. I presume this is the version you had reacted to on prior channel. However, there are multiple other versions of "Crazy" published. ---- There is one published for the audio version on AJ's album "It's Magic" that was done with the Forsvarets Stabsmusikkorps (Staff Band of the Norwegian Armed Forces) and published on AJ's channel "Angelina Jordan Official" on January 13, 2019. This audio track was provided to TH-cam by The Orchard Enterprises. Unless I am mistaken, they are a sublabel of The Orchard who is an independent music and video distribution, marketing, and sales company that works with independent artists, labels, and other content providers to distribute content to hundreds of digital and mobile outlets around the world, as well as physical retailers in North America and Europe. The company was founded in 1997 by producer Richard Gottehrer and music manager Scott Cohen to foster independence and creativity in the music industry. As of 2015, The Orchard is owned by Sony Music Entertainment while operating independently and has headquarters in New York City. ---- There is one published on December 17, 2020 by AJ fan Boris Palenovski. It has the same band AJ used for the Jazz Festival. It looks to be AJ singing in a club performance. It shows further just how great AJ is giving that this is live with zero fancy studio audio processing in a small, intimate venue. ---- There is one published with over 1.6 million views that has AJ images with AJ's audio from 2018 Kongsberg Jazz Festival. This is NOT mashup video link that I have given. ---- I have given a link to an incredible mashup of two published rehearsal sessions of "Crazy" done before the Festival merged together with the Festival audio. This mashup video was made by super AJ fan BigAngieFan and unbelievably has less than 70,000 views. This is superior audio/video editing and gives the impression that this was the full blown rehearsal for the Festival.
@@TeeSpicerReacts I knew about Lara Fabian since 2011 when I discovered her through singer Jackie Evancho's fan club. Beautiful voice and performer. I would go view TH-cam videos of Lara's performances. I had became a fan of Jackie in 2010 (when she came in second on America's Got Talent) and have been to some of her concerts. Songwriter Walter Afanasieff and Lara Fabian wrote the new French lyrics to the song "Imaginer" especially for Jackie Evancho while using the music of "Broken Vow". Jackie first publicly sung this new song on her smash hit PBS show "Dream With Me In Concert" in June 2011. This show set all kinds of money raise records and was the most broadcast show on PBS and was seen on over 2,000 PBS stations (th-cam.com/video/hX3s2v6qGYo/w-d-xo.html). The CD/DVD of this show reached No. 1 on Billboard's Top Music Video Chart and was on the chart for 64 weeks. Jackie soon published her No. 2 Billboard 200's Gold album "Dream With Me" in June 2011 that also had "Imaginer" on it. This album was also the No. 1 Billboard Classical Albums Chart and was on this chart for 74 weeks.
@@TeeSpicerReacts I figured you had reacted to many of the performances used in the mashups. However, even if you do not publish reviews, check them out. As noted earlier, the "Crazy" mashup is truly a work of art. "Ain't No Sunshine" is fantastic video/audio editing to merge Angelina's performance with an excellent band. The "Easy On Me" and "Back To Black" mashups show how close AJ is to the voices of Adele and Amy Winehouse. Truly amazing. The "All Of Me" mashup is not perfect but shows just how close AJ matched John Legend's singing during this created virtual duet. Similarly, AJ matches Harry Styles singing in the virtual duet in a way too short "Sign of the Times".
Apologize that some below you may have already reacted to on your prior channel, but I do not know which songs you did there. As you know, Angelina has amazing flexibility as can be witnessed by the following four songs: ---- Shield [as 12-year old, Angelina wrote song. As 12-year old, sung on very popular Scandinavian talk show Skavlan (2.5 to 3 million viewers per show): th-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/w-d-xo.html] [In interview (changes to English at about 0:36 mark) before Angelina sung, paraphrasing, she said that when she sings she goes into endless other world that is full of happiness. She said that song is about someone you love and whose strong love protects you wherever you are. Angelina said song's sound was inspired by Bond films. Her favorite Bond film songs are Diamonds Are Forever and Goldfinger. She sings few bars of Diamonds Are Forever a cappella. She said that highlight of her career was singing for Quincy Jones' 85th birthday concert in London. When asked if she feels like she is 12 years old, Angelina says she only does when she looks at her passport: th-cam.com/video/97hjWg4ToRQ/w-d-xo.html] [as 13-year old, sung in artistic video directed by her maternal grandmother Mery Zamani: th-cam.com/video/m8OCbAlr_48/w-d-xo.html] ---- I'm Still Holding Out For You (a few days before turning 11-years old, Angelina recorded this demo. This was a cover of Baby FuzZ song. Baby FuzZ was also known by the stage name Sterling Fox. He is Brandon Lowry who has written and produced multiple songs for others including Lana Del Ray, Britney Spears, Avicii, Adam Lambert and Madonna. Angelina’s people did not allow the release of the song because they thought it to be the wrong stylistic choice for her. Baby FuzZ never heard Angelina’s demo until years later. This is a “leaked” version of the song Angelina recorded which at first was blocked by Angelina’s people for fear of copyright infringement issues, but Baby FuzZ really liked the demo and allowed it to stay up on TH-cam: th-cam.com/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/w-d-xo.html) ---- Above The Water [sung by Angelina as 13-year old, and shows her incredible cross genre abilities. She collaborated with Norwegian EDM (Electronic Dance Music) duo TRXD and recorded vocals for song. TRXD is Truls Dyrstad and David Atarodiyan where TRXD represents their names (TRuls X David). In 2020, song was released officially as audio only track and has over 3.9 million plays on Spotify. By almost 900,000 this song is number 1 played song of TRXD on Spotify. However, amazing unofficial video was created that added some footage of shuffle dancers doing variations of Melbourne Shuffle that originated in Melbourne, Australia, in underground rave scene. Although not exactly known when Melbourne Shuffle was developed (probably in mid to late 1980s), it supposedly was first shown publicly in TV interview by Ruppert Keller in 1990. Dance eventually took off and has become very popular in mainstream EDM festival scene, practiced by millions of EDM fans all over world: th-cam.com/video/y6SilwnR2Zc/w-d-xo.html] ---- I Will Survive (as 10-year old, Angelina again hits it out of the park, in another new music genre: disco! This is only disco song to win Grammy. In 2016, Library of Congress deemed Gloria Gaynor's original recording to be "culturally, historically, or artistically significant" and selected it for preservation in National Recording Registry: th-cam.com/video/ma7sa_n7k-8/w-d-xo.html)
Apologize that some below you may have already reacted to on your prior channel, but I do not know which songs you did there. From Republic Records bio, Angelina said “Today, I sing barefoot as a reminder of all the kids in the world who need help and support.” See Angelina's book "Mellom to hjerter" (Between Two Hearts) for background story of 6-year old Angelina meeting shoeless girl to whom Angelina gave her shoes. A few of over 130 covered songs by Angelina includes: ---- Bang Bang My Baby Shot Me Down (as 8-year old, sung on 2014 Norway's Got Talent: th-cam.com/video/HCaDyiqs7Wg/w-d-xo.html) ---- What A Difference A Day Makes (you reacted to mashup of this song when Angelina as 8-year old, sung Dinah Washington classic on TV 2 singalong show Allsang På Grensen held outdoors at Fredriksten Fortress in Halden, Norway on Thursday June 3, 2014. Video is famous because of false postings on Facebook misstating Angelina was Amy Winehouse at 10-years old. Even with posting corrections and fact-checking site Snopes debunking it, incorrectly captioned video got over 30 million Facebook views: th-cam.com/video/ZSfgCIGd7k4/w-d-xo.html) [as 9-year old, sung on Singapore TV: th-cam.com/video/uWGb9lAO-vU/w-d-xo.html.

Apologize that some below you may have already reacted to on your prior channel, but I do not know which songs you did there. As you know, Angelina also has set of short and long covers that she has posted on both TikTok and Instagram. Many make one want to hear full performance of song. There happens to be one TikTok version that is full performance that she also did in studio with Republic Records. TikTok version is mind-bending since it is done singing in her room at night yet sounds like it was recorded in studio setting. Some examples include following. ---- When You Believe [sung in studio as 15-year-old and on TikTok as 16-year old. This song originally was sung by Whitney Houston with Mariah Carey (th-cam.com/video/LKaXY4IdZ40/w-d-xo.html). Song is from 1998 animated feature The Prince of Egypt. It won Academy Award for Best Original Song] - Republic Records studio version by Angelina: th-cam.com/video/uAlVzI8-5hQ/w-d-xo.html - TikTok version by Angelina: th-cam.com/video/Pue8y9avttI/w-d-xo.html ---- Endless Love [as 15-year old. Famously sung by Diana Ross and Lionel Richie at 54th Academy Awards in 1982 (th-cam.com/video/NDNlYho3A2Y/w-d-xo.html). Released in 1981 and became #1 Billboard hit. TikTok version by Angelina with piano: th-cam.com/video/VWuU4jMKqLw/w-d-xo.html] ---- Fields Of Gold [as 15 year-old. One of most famous songs by Sting that was written in 1993. Not big commercial success, this modern ballad has been covered by many artists (th-cam.com/video/KLVq0IAzh1A/w-d-xo.html). TikTok version by Angelina with simple guitar is wonderful: th-cam.com/video/4WwJHHxxHVk/w-d-xo.html] ---- Lost On You [as 15-year-old. This 2015 song is by American recording artist LP (th-cam.com/video/wDjeBNv6ip0/w-d-xo.html). It topped charts of thirteen countries. TikTok version by Angelina with piano leaves you to want more: th-cam.com/video/W1RN0nRK9Tk/w-d-xo.html]
Ok, so I have previously done, When you Believe (studio version), Fields of Gold (in a mashup with Eva Cassidy) BUT finally, I haven't done ever, LOST ON YOU & ENDLESS LOVE, however I only do reactions to video 2:30 & up, if you would like a reaction to several of these, let me know. So, they are on the list! Thank you!
Apologize that some below you may have already reacted to on your prior channel, but I do not know which songs you did there. Sadly, Angelina’s paternal grandfather died in March 2018 and her maternal grandfather died in November 2019. Angelina’s maternal grandmother Mery Zamani has had tremendous influence on Angelina and her career as she introduced Angelina to Jazz at early age. Mery is famous Iranian contemporary writer, poet and painter who was also child prodigy herself being on Radio Iran's Children program at age 4 and began writing poetry and painting by age of 9. Later Mery was trained in art at Tokyo Academy in Japan where she met her husband, who was Japanese, during her master degree's training in Japan. There is nine year old video showing some of Mery's artwork in home setting: th-cam.com/video/i9NxX0tSjS0/w-d-xo.html ---- Mery has TH-cam channel that supports Angelina called Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz: th-cam.com/channels/hM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPig.html. There are lots of videos in it that could only have been taken by insider or family member. Mery is also widely known under artist alias name Mosarz ---- Mery illustrated book that Angelina wrote ("Mellom to hjerter" that translates to Between Two Hearts) and was published in November 2015 when Angelina was 9 years-old and became youngest published author in Norway. Book based on Angelina's notes in her diary/notebooks and describes her meeting with shoeless girl. Podcast was published by Angelina’s publisher, Cappelen Damm, in 2015. In it Angelina talks with Erling Kittelsen, Norwegian author and poet and friend of family, about her book. Angelina tells of her understanding with little girl that Angelina will not wear shoes when she performs and that little girl will pray for Angelina. During pauses in talk, we hear small extracts from book which should be on children's reading list: th-cam.com/video/6p6iL989P_8/w-d-xo.html There are three published Angelina videos created and directed by Mery: ---- Fly Me To The Moon (you already reacted to song when Angelina as 10-year old, sung it with acoustic guitar in one of her most viewed videos) ---- When You're Smiling (as 11-year old, starts out with her missing school attendance. She is riding bike and comes across sad girl crying and stops to see what is wrong. You will have to watch to see what happens next: th-cam.com/video/bLuNQ6s7fCQ/w-d-xo.html) ---- Shield [as 12-year old, Angelina wrote this song. As 13-year old, Mery did artistic video of Angelina singing song: th-cam.com/video/m8OCbAlr_48/w-d-xo.html. As 12-year old, sung on very popular Scandinavian talk show Skavlan (2.5 to 3 million viewers per show): th-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/w-d-xo.html] [In interview (changes to English at about 0:36 mark) before Angelina sung on Skavlan, paraphrasing, she said that when she sings she goes into endless other world that is full of happiness. She said that song Shield is about someone you love and whose strong love protects you wherever you are. Angelina said song's sound was inspired by Bond films. Her favorite Bond film songs are Diamonds Are Forever and Goldfinger. She sings few bars of Diamonds Are Forever a cappella. She said that highlight of her career was singing for Quincy Jones' 85th birthday concert in London. When asked if she feels like she is 12 years old, Angelina says she only does when she looks at her passport: th-cam.com/video/97hjWg4ToRQ/w-d-xo.html] ---- 7th Heaven (wrote as 15-year old. There are four video versions. Audio with lyrics that uses Mery’s painting Rows of Angels as background: th-cam.com/video/o4Vl3I1WWq4/w-d-xo.html. Audio only with last measure slightly different from studio version: th-cam.com/video/N0yK_07a1_U/w-d-xo.html. Studio live performance with last measure slightly different: th-cam.com/video/bM8DzMRbiIc/w-d-xo.html. Official music video that uses audio only soundtrack: th-cam.com/video/9rLiWvwzbCA/w-d-xo.html) [Studio video was created by Stargate who is top shelf record producing and songwriting team (Tor E. Hermansen and Mikkel S. Eriksen) that is now based in Los Angeles. Team's genres include R&B, pop and hip hop. They have won 4 Grammy Awards and been nominated 17 times. Besides Angelina, they have produced or written for Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Lionel Richie, Wiz Khalifa, Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Rita Ora, Normani, Mis-Teeq, Celine Dion, Blue, Janet Jackson, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Sam Smith, Mary J. Blige, Ne-Yo, Katy Perry, Coldplay, Pink, Sia, Whitney Houston, Nas, Chris Brown, Khalid, Charli XCX, Trey Songz and others] [Angelina said: “The initial idea for ‘7th Heaven’ was that I love the number 7, and ‘heaven’ is such a powerful word and makes you dream away,” she explained. “I collaborated with Stargate to create ‘7th Heaven.’ The background story of making this song was that I had this melody that I played for Tor and Mikkel and it turned out that they loved the idea and it went pretty smooth from there to the finish [the] song.” Angelina and her team kept tweaking the song until it was perfect and ready for release. “We definitely tried many different elements to feel the right sound to it,” she said.] [Angelina revealed that she is often inspired to create music from personal pain: “Strong emotions, mainly painful ones, often make me write music,” she shared] [Angelina said that studio video will look like: “The visual will look something like old school meets new school kinda vibe to it,” she assured. “I love the styles they had before and I want to bring it back again.”] ---- Million Miles (co-wrote as 14-year old. There are four video versions. Audio with lyrics using Mery’s paintings as background: th-cam.com/video/NhKRh5ZtuWk/w-d-xo.html. Audio only: th-cam.com/video/2D9qvBfx47s/w-d-xo.html. Studio live performance: th-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/w-d-xo.html. Official music video: th-cam.com/video/XA1_CUaM52I/w-d-xo.html) [Angelina said "This song is dedicated to anyone who has lost a loved one. I wrote this song thinking about all the great memories I had with my grandpa and how much it hurts to lose someone. I hope this song finds a place in your heart, as it comes straight from mine."]
Thank you for joining us at TSR, @GEB! Firstly, thank you so much for the information but I must let you know that I've been reacting to AJ for almost 2 years and one of the ONLY reasons that I am still bitter about having my channel stolen was that I lost all 83 of the reaction videos I made about AJ. My very first reaction was to 'Million Miles'. I know mostly everything you wrote, I have reacted to the interviews, listened to the Podcast and (had the book sent to me) read her book. I am caught up with every original she has released since 2020 and most of the covers as well but I still have songs I haven't reacted to before then. So, as I asked in the video, would you all like me to post a list of the songs I have covered by her in my discord or you wouldn't mind me re-reacting to them on this channel?
@@TeeSpicerReacts Sure to publishing but include links. Many of the covers were done multiple times and thus have multiple links for a given covered song. As noted prior, I also have no problem with you doing a second reaction to a cover. Maybe via a second version? I provided numerous links to various cover versions of the same song. You could refer to the original version you had reacted to and then react to the version you had not yet seen and provide comments. This is a good way to show her voice changes over time and to the slight stylistic changes she made in the covers. This can be quite effective as can be witnessed by how different/improved "My Funny Valentine" versions by AJ occurred over a six year time frame.
Angelina was great. I love the older video's for a number of reasons and the main one is, her eyes. They are so beautiful and speak to me when she sings. Her adopted blue eyes don't do that for me. Sorry. Just being honest. Hey Tee, you said you like to react to movies? Is it because of music in the movie or just the movie itself? If it's just the movie I have one for you to watch. First Knight, 1995, 2hr 14 min, starring Richard Gere, Julia Ormond, Sean Connery and Ben Cross. It has adventure, romance and a lot of scenes which bring a smile to your face. There are serious moments, too, and all of it will be enjoyed if you watch the whole movie from beginning to end. You may ask, "Why is he suggesting I watch this particular movie? There must be something he wants me to see?" Yes, there is. There is a scene in the movie which will freeze you in your seat. You dare not move a muscle because of how emotionally you will be drawn into the scene. I say no more. But, you will know exactly the scene I'm talking about when it appears on the screen. Enjoy. I know you will like it very much.
I actually saw it many years ago, LOL. I have watched MANY films of all genres, just like music, haha! You should check out my former channel, PNT TV Reacts! It's still up!
Everyone sounds like this on her planet!
🤣🤣🤣😍🥰
@@TeeSpicerReacts So if you disappear from TH-cam again, we know what's happened :)
@@quantockbeech 🏃🏽♂️
Angelina, YOU make US feel so young!
Tee your facial reaction was priceless. Listening to Angelina, has improved my health and therefore makes me feel so young.
Well do you mind sharing? My body isn't getting the memo!
@@TeeSpicerReacts I think it has to do with mind over matter. Angelina's music makes it easier for me to maintain a positive attitude, therefore less stress on the body.
This is one of my favorite Angelina performances. She is so professional and this performance shows how fantastically talented she is.😇🤩
Fantastic reaction, yes a jaw dropping performance! After hearing "My Funny Valentine, she is the greatest, just think she has minimum 10 years voice growth yet, no one in her league! I mean no one, God Bless!
Well said!
@@TeeSpicerReacts Amen! God Bless!
Such exciting times,behind the scenes AJ and her team are getting ready to unleash her on the musical scene.Imagine the live performances,tv appearances,album,duets,special venues!!
*insert a gif* jumping up and down - I know, I know, I know!!!! 😜😝😁🥰
She makes me feel young. Love it!Thanks Tee😄
There's a lot of that going around, LOL!
Thanks Tee for bringing us this one. To me it is one of the most spectacular renditions of this classic song there is. Master class vocals from Angelina would be an understatement on this song. This one is in my top 150 from Angelina :)). Thanks for sharing Tee, stay safe and healthy.
🤣🤣🤣🥰 Top 150!!! Carl D! you kill me! BTW, check your emails (Patron)
I tried to keep a list of what you have not done, and I found it, but I messed up and did not have this one on there. Your list might be a better way to do it than the old playlist (easier to scroll through). This was wonderful, with her deep voice she was giving Frank a nod. I loved it.
I'll put it up on Discord under the AJ Request channel! See you later, hopefully!
What the.... sounds like she came out of 1930 era 😳❤ And the layers of the voice... whaaat ❤
Thank you for reacting to this awesome performance by the Barefoot Angel.
Angelina is always amazing at 6 or 16 years old; with Angelina age doesn't matter.
Exactly. Age, as I've learned from AJ means nothing!
Tee, this one for sure was right in your wheelhouse! Angelina shocked me with this one when I first heard it a couple years ago. Her low register amazed me, but what got to me even further was her ability to sing two different registers in the same song. She was actually playing the role of two different singers as a Duo. By the way you said that you were really overcome by the fact that she sang so low. I don't remember if you ever reacted to How Great thou art? Let me know and if not I will request it. She goes even lower there!
Unbelievably, no I haven't done that yet! And I don't know HOW, but we haven't played it on the livestreams either!!!!
@@TeeSpicerReacts , I loved your "jaw-dropping" reaction! I feel the same way! She sounds and looks like she just stepped out of a time machine from the 1940's in this video! If you think this was lowww, wait until you hear her sing "How Great Thou Art"! She sings it in the same register as Elvis did!
This was originally sang in duet and Angelina sang it in duo by herself singing the two voices.
So, I was informed. Bravo AJ!
I remember Frank singing it with a female singer in a duet.
Love that Angelina decided to do the duo version by herself.
She's just so pleasing to listen to and this is no exception.
Fantastic! Although it makes me wonder, if she did do a duet. Who in the world can match her...and how would she do in a duet?
@@TeeSpicerReacts Since she easily can handle the upper
registers and lower ones equally as easily, she could coordinate
with just about any A-List male singer, having him take either
the high road or the low road. It's something worth thinking about
for when she decides to have guests appearing in one of her
concerts or TV specials that may be on the horizon. All I can say
to any potential male singer thinking about accompanying her, you
better bring your 'A' Game LOL
I liked your reaction. I like Angelina. I'm a subscriber.
That was just so good! I love your reaction - yes Angelina makes me feel so young! I guess that Mery had a hand in the setup here, the 1940's hairstyle and the blue dress. She sings it so much better than it was in the movie with Charles Smith. For me it is like she is singing the duet, but has both parts, Frank is no longer with us, so what else can a girl do?
If that is a question for AJ. That's a dangerous question that I think none of us are prepared for the answer....I know for certain, I may or may not get a heart attack or faint...idk yet 🤣🤣😍🥰
Thank you Tee!!!
Any time!
Just a 13 y.o. girl singing a professional quality duet to herself in her own living room. No big deal, right? 😉
Hi Tee. Love your reactions. You can do all AJ's again for me 👍❤
Deal!
I don't know if you know but Victory Vizanska (She use to sing for the Sixters and has a few of her own videos) has made it out of Ukraine with her mother.
Oh, that is so great! Yes, I do know her. I did a few reactions on the other channel of her. (Some from you Still, LOL) Do you know if the girls got out?
About time Tee. Thought you had lost interest! :) :)
Where does Angelina's deep voice come from? How does she do some of the amazing things we hear from her voice? Note that Angelina has a long neck due to her height (estimated as 6’ give or take an inch) and may have a larger larynx (i.e., voice box) than the average woman.
(1) Angelina is probably a contralto with the possibility of singing at a higher level. A contralto is what the lowest female singing voice is called. This vocal range is rare. The range typically falls between the F below middle C (F3 in scientific pitch notation) to the second F above middle C (F5), although, at the extremes, some voices can reach the D below middle C (D3) or the second B♭ above middle C (B♭5). Since Angelina has made so many covers of many types of songs, it may be possible to determine her effective singing range, or the range she is willing to comfortably sing within. This would require analyzing the notes she sang across the spectrum of songs she has sung and published.
(2) So where does Angelina's beautiful voice come from? Let us go over how a voice is produced per a summary of tutorials provided by the National Center for Voice and Speech. The NCVS conducts research, educates vocologists, disseminates information about voice and speech, and provides referral services to help people around the world enjoy healthy and effective vocal communications. The NCVS has a nice tutorial on voice production based upon their book "Principles of Voice Production" which goes into scientific detail that they said should include knowledge of basic acoustics and some familiarity of college physics.
(3) The human voice is classified into various types, based on pitch, timbre, and various other factors that influence our perception of someone's voice, or how that voice can be used.
It appears that one critical aspect of voice production has to do with one's fundamental frequency (i.e., Fo). Baby cries have a Fo of around 500 Hz (roughly corresponding to the note B4). Child speech ranges from 250-400 Hz (notes B3 to G4). Adult females tend to speak at around 200 Hz on average (about G3), and adult males around 125 Hz (or B2).
(4) As one would probably assume, one's larynx is quite important to voice production. The larynx is the hollow muscular organ forming an air passage to the lungs and holding the vocal cords in humans and other mammals. It sits at the back of the throat, above the windpipe (trachea). The larynx is supported by rings of cartilage, which in men (and occasionally a woman) form the bump of the Adam's apple. The vocal cords are stretchy bands of tissue attached to the inside of the larynx. Air passing in and out of the lungs is pushed through these cords. Everyone's larynx grows during puberty, but a girl's larynx doesn't grow as much as a boy's does. In fact, a man's larynx grows roughly 40% larger (taller and in length) than does a woman's larynx. This larger larynx gives men deeper voices than woman. But there is a tad more involved than just the size of one's larynx.
(5) Note that the 40% size difference of the larynx between men and women does not account for the roughly 60% difference in production of the Fo. Thus, there must be something else. The key variable is the length of the part of the vocal folds within the larynx that is in vibration, which is called the effective vocal fold length. The difference here between men and women is about 60% and we have some indication of where the pitch difference comes from.
(6) Along with pitch, another variable used to classify voices is their quality, or timbre. Timbre is related to the length of the vocal tract. Different vocalists have different vocal tract lengths. To a limited degree singers can control the tract length by raising or lowering the larynx. A longer tract results in a 'darker'-sounding voice, while shorter tracts will make the voice sound 'brighter'. Note that the length of the vocal tract is largely determined by nature. Some of us are born with necks that are swan-like, while others are quite short.
(7) So, it appears that Angelina has been gifted with height and both a longer neck and possibly a larger larynx than the average woman. She thus has lower pitch to be able to produce a lower Fo, plus has a longer vocal track to produce a 'darker'-sounding voice. Add to this the fantastic breath control and a wonderful sense of musicality, and one has a singing prodigy. We all are fortunate to be alive to witness such a rare combination that, in my opinion, is producing a new singing genius.
WOW! Didn't I say I was old and forgetful? No, seriously. This was amazing. Thank you for your complete explanation of how it was possible of AJ to have his vocal range. My mind is 🤯
Apologize that some below you may have already reacted to on your prior channel, but I do not know which songs you did there. As you know, there are also mashups of Angelina with either original artist and/or instrumental band. Some of these are truly incredible. Some examples include following.
---- Ain’t No Sunshine [Angelina was 12 years-old. This is Bill Withers classic 1971 R&B hit. Musicians Hank Roberts (great cello), Brian Wilson (drums), Mike Stark (piano) and Anna Coogan (guitar) originally performed song for singer Canen. Mashup was created using Angelina’s simple cover and band making fantastic composition: th-cam.com/video/JyziJiJ1HYg/w-d-xo.html]
---- Crazy (as 12-year old, Angelina sung song live at Kongsberg Jazz Festival in 2018. Mashup of Festival audio and two rehearsal videos with some of best audio/video editing that you will witness and makes it truly look like rehearsal of this Patsy Cline/Willie Nelson 1961 hit country song. Amazing: th-cam.com/video/RI9s_Qp7X_g/w-d-xo.html)
---- Easy On Me (Angelina was 15-years old when she released cover video of Adele’s latest hit song from 2021. This mashup combines Angelina’s cover and snipets of Adele’s official video of song plus video-only pieces of 9-year old Angelina performing I Put A Spell On You and few frames of Angelina and her grandmother Mery from studio recording of I'm A Fool To Want You by 11-year old Angelina for her album It’s Magic. Tough to tell difference between Angelina’s and Adele’s voices: th-cam.com/video/OXtRa4FlhMM/w-d-xo.html)
---- Back To Black (mashup remix of 10-year old Angelina’s cover video of Back to Black done with KORK orchestra and Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black music video. Snipets of Amy singing compared with Angelina’s voice makes them seem like duplicates of each other: th-cam.com/video/Ly82w_iIrh4/w-d-xo.html)
---- All Of Me (Angelina was 13-years old. This mashup shows how Angelina pays homage and is true to original song. Combines Angelina’s home video recording with sophisticated music video of John Legend playing piano and singing his smash hit song with violinist Lindsey Stirling playing accompaniment. Mashup creates virtual duet that seems like it is original recording of Angelina singing duet with John Legend: th-cam.com/video/i0rSKumJE8s/w-d-xo.html)
---- Sign Of The Times (mashup of short TikTok cover by 15-year old Angelina with snipets of Harry Styles singing his hit song on his BBC produced TV show Harry Styles At The BBC. This creates a virtual duet that is mind-blowing as one really is given impression that they are singing duet together. Unfortunately is only 2 minutes long and thus not complete song: th-cam.com/video/8glJLHUd7uo/w-d-xo.html)
Did I mention that along with Lara Fabian (who I JUST discovered), AJ is my favourite solo artist right now? BTW, same question, as I have done all of these performances on my previous channel. Would you care if I re-reacted to them? However, although I did 'Crazy' I didn't do the Live version, did this as well but not the mashup Back to Black, I've done 'All of Me' on this channel (not the mashup) and I haven't done 'Sign of the Times' at all.
@@TeeSpicerReacts I personally do not mind you doing re-reactions.
@@TeeSpicerReacts When AJ created "Angelina Jordan CoverChannel" on July 31, 2017, the second cover she did was "Crazy" with Egil Clausen on guitar. It was published on September 17, 2017. I presume this is the version you had reacted to on prior channel. However, there are multiple other versions of "Crazy" published.
---- There is one published for the audio version on AJ's album "It's Magic" that was done with the Forsvarets Stabsmusikkorps (Staff Band of the Norwegian Armed Forces) and published on AJ's channel "Angelina Jordan Official" on January 13, 2019. This audio track was provided to TH-cam by The Orchard Enterprises. Unless I am mistaken, they are a sublabel of The Orchard who is an independent music and video distribution, marketing, and sales company that works with independent artists, labels, and other content providers to distribute content to hundreds of digital and mobile outlets around the world, as well as physical retailers in North America and Europe. The company was founded in 1997 by producer Richard Gottehrer and music manager Scott Cohen to foster independence and creativity in the music industry. As of 2015, The Orchard is owned by Sony Music Entertainment while operating independently and has headquarters in New York City.
---- There is one published on December 17, 2020 by AJ fan Boris Palenovski. It has the same band AJ used for the Jazz Festival. It looks to be AJ singing in a club performance. It shows further just how great AJ is giving that this is live with zero fancy studio audio processing in a small, intimate venue.
---- There is one published with over 1.6 million views that has AJ images with AJ's audio from 2018 Kongsberg Jazz Festival. This is NOT mashup video link that I have given.
---- I have given a link to an incredible mashup of two published rehearsal sessions of "Crazy" done before the Festival merged together with the Festival audio. This mashup video was made by super AJ fan BigAngieFan and unbelievably has less than 70,000 views. This is superior audio/video editing and gives the impression that this was the full blown rehearsal for the Festival.
@@TeeSpicerReacts I knew about Lara Fabian since 2011 when I discovered her through singer Jackie Evancho's fan club. Beautiful voice and performer. I would go view TH-cam videos of Lara's performances. I had became a fan of Jackie in 2010 (when she came in second on America's Got Talent) and have been to some of her concerts. Songwriter Walter Afanasieff and Lara Fabian wrote the new French lyrics to the song "Imaginer" especially for Jackie Evancho while using the music of "Broken Vow". Jackie first publicly sung this new song on her smash hit PBS show "Dream With Me In Concert" in June 2011. This show set all kinds of money raise records and was the most broadcast show on PBS and was seen on over 2,000 PBS stations (th-cam.com/video/hX3s2v6qGYo/w-d-xo.html). The CD/DVD of this show reached No. 1 on Billboard's Top Music Video Chart and was on the chart for 64 weeks. Jackie soon published her No. 2 Billboard 200's Gold album "Dream With Me" in June 2011 that also had "Imaginer" on it. This album was also the No. 1 Billboard Classical Albums Chart and was on this chart for 74 weeks.
@@TeeSpicerReacts I figured you had reacted to many of the performances used in the mashups. However, even if you do not publish reviews, check them out. As noted earlier, the "Crazy" mashup is truly a work of art. "Ain't No Sunshine" is fantastic video/audio editing to merge Angelina's performance with an excellent band. The "Easy On Me" and "Back To Black" mashups show how close AJ is to the voices of Adele and Amy Winehouse. Truly amazing. The "All Of Me" mashup is not perfect but shows just how close AJ matched John Legend's singing during this created virtual duet. Similarly, AJ matches Harry Styles singing in the virtual duet in a way too short "Sign of the Times".
Apologize that some below you may have already reacted to on your prior channel, but I do not know which songs you did there. As you know, Angelina has amazing flexibility as can be witnessed by the following four songs:
---- Shield [as 12-year old, Angelina wrote song. As 12-year old, sung on very popular Scandinavian talk show Skavlan (2.5 to 3 million viewers per show): th-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/w-d-xo.html]
[In interview (changes to English at about 0:36 mark) before Angelina sung, paraphrasing, she said that when she sings she goes into endless other world that is full of happiness. She said that song is about someone you love and whose strong love protects you wherever you are. Angelina said song's sound was inspired by Bond films. Her favorite Bond film songs are Diamonds Are Forever and Goldfinger. She sings few bars of Diamonds Are Forever a cappella. She said that highlight of her career was singing for Quincy Jones' 85th birthday concert in London. When asked if she feels like she is 12 years old, Angelina says she only does when she looks at her passport: th-cam.com/video/97hjWg4ToRQ/w-d-xo.html]
[as 13-year old, sung in artistic video directed by her maternal grandmother Mery Zamani: th-cam.com/video/m8OCbAlr_48/w-d-xo.html]
---- I'm Still Holding Out For You (a few days before turning 11-years old, Angelina recorded this demo. This was a cover of Baby FuzZ song. Baby FuzZ was also known by the stage name Sterling Fox. He is Brandon Lowry who has written and produced multiple songs for others including Lana Del Ray, Britney Spears, Avicii, Adam Lambert and Madonna. Angelina’s people did not allow the release of the song because they thought it to be the wrong stylistic choice for her. Baby FuzZ never heard Angelina’s demo until years later. This is a “leaked” version of the song Angelina recorded which at first was blocked by Angelina’s people for fear of copyright infringement issues, but Baby FuzZ really liked the demo and allowed it to stay up on TH-cam: th-cam.com/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/w-d-xo.html)
---- Above The Water [sung by Angelina as 13-year old, and shows her incredible cross genre abilities. She collaborated with Norwegian EDM (Electronic Dance Music) duo TRXD and recorded vocals for song. TRXD is Truls Dyrstad and David Atarodiyan where TRXD represents their names (TRuls X David). In 2020, song was released officially as audio only track and has over 3.9 million plays on Spotify. By almost 900,000 this song is number 1 played song of TRXD on Spotify. However, amazing unofficial video was created that added some footage of shuffle dancers doing variations of Melbourne Shuffle that originated in Melbourne, Australia, in underground rave scene. Although not exactly known when Melbourne Shuffle was developed (probably in mid to late 1980s), it supposedly was first shown publicly in TV interview by Ruppert Keller in 1990. Dance eventually took off and has become very popular in mainstream EDM festival scene, practiced by millions of EDM fans all over world: th-cam.com/video/y6SilwnR2Zc/w-d-xo.html]
---- I Will Survive (as 10-year old, Angelina again hits it out of the park, in another new music genre: disco! This is only disco song to win Grammy. In 2016, Library of Congress deemed Gloria Gaynor's original recording to be "culturally, historically, or artistically significant" and selected it for preservation in National Recording Registry: th-cam.com/video/ma7sa_n7k-8/w-d-xo.html)
Ok these I've all done on the previous channel, Shield (twice) and as a double (performance & interview on Skavlan)
Apologize that some below you may have already reacted to on your prior channel, but I do not know which songs you did there. From Republic Records bio, Angelina said “Today, I sing barefoot as a reminder of all the kids in the world who need help and support.” See Angelina's book "Mellom to hjerter" (Between Two Hearts) for background story of 6-year old Angelina meeting shoeless girl to whom Angelina gave her shoes. A few of over 130 covered songs by Angelina includes:
---- Bang Bang My Baby Shot Me Down (as 8-year old, sung on 2014 Norway's Got Talent: th-cam.com/video/HCaDyiqs7Wg/w-d-xo.html)

Apologize that some below you may have already reacted to on your prior channel, but I do not know which songs you did there. As you know, Angelina also has set of short and long covers that she has posted on both TikTok and Instagram. Many make one want to hear full performance of song. There happens to be one TikTok version that is full performance that she also did in studio with Republic Records. TikTok version is mind-bending since it is done singing in her room at night yet sounds like it was recorded in studio setting. Some examples include following.
---- When You Believe [sung in studio as 15-year-old and on TikTok as 16-year old. This song originally was sung by Whitney Houston with Mariah Carey (th-cam.com/video/LKaXY4IdZ40/w-d-xo.html). Song is from 1998 animated feature The Prince of Egypt. It won Academy Award for Best Original Song]
- Republic Records studio version by Angelina: th-cam.com/video/uAlVzI8-5hQ/w-d-xo.html
- TikTok version by Angelina: th-cam.com/video/Pue8y9avttI/w-d-xo.html
---- Endless Love [as 15-year old. Famously sung by Diana Ross and Lionel Richie at 54th Academy Awards in 1982 (th-cam.com/video/NDNlYho3A2Y/w-d-xo.html). Released in 1981 and became #1 Billboard hit. TikTok version by Angelina with piano: th-cam.com/video/VWuU4jMKqLw/w-d-xo.html]
---- Fields Of Gold [as 15 year-old. One of most famous songs by Sting that was written in 1993. Not big commercial success, this modern ballad has been covered by many artists (th-cam.com/video/KLVq0IAzh1A/w-d-xo.html). TikTok version by Angelina with simple guitar is wonderful: th-cam.com/video/4WwJHHxxHVk/w-d-xo.html]
---- Lost On You [as 15-year-old. This 2015 song is by American recording artist LP (th-cam.com/video/wDjeBNv6ip0/w-d-xo.html). It topped charts of thirteen countries. TikTok version by Angelina with piano leaves you to want more: th-cam.com/video/W1RN0nRK9Tk/w-d-xo.html]
Ok, so I have previously done, When you Believe (studio version), Fields of Gold (in a mashup with Eva Cassidy) BUT finally, I haven't done ever, LOST ON YOU & ENDLESS LOVE, however I only do reactions to video 2:30 & up, if you would like a reaction to several of these, let me know. So, they are on the list! Thank you!
Apologize that some below you may have already reacted to on your prior channel, but I do not know which songs you did there. Sadly, Angelina’s paternal grandfather died in March 2018 and her maternal grandfather died in November 2019. Angelina’s maternal grandmother Mery Zamani has had tremendous influence on Angelina and her career as she introduced Angelina to Jazz at early age. Mery is famous Iranian contemporary writer, poet and painter who was also child prodigy herself being on Radio Iran's Children program at age 4 and began writing poetry and painting by age of 9. Later Mery was trained in art at Tokyo Academy in Japan where she met her husband, who was Japanese, during her master degree's training in Japan. There is nine year old video showing some of Mery's artwork in home setting: th-cam.com/video/i9NxX0tSjS0/w-d-xo.html
---- Mery has TH-cam channel that supports Angelina called Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz: th-cam.com/channels/hM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPig.html. There are lots of videos in it that could only have been taken by insider or family member. Mery is also widely known under artist alias name Mosarz
---- Mery illustrated book that Angelina wrote ("Mellom to hjerter" that translates to Between Two Hearts) and was published in November 2015 when Angelina was 9 years-old and became youngest published author in Norway. Book based on Angelina's notes in her diary/notebooks and describes her meeting with shoeless girl. Podcast was published by Angelina’s publisher, Cappelen Damm, in 2015. In it Angelina talks with Erling Kittelsen, Norwegian author and poet and friend of family, about her book. Angelina tells of her understanding with little girl that Angelina will not wear shoes when she performs and that little girl will pray for Angelina. During pauses in talk, we hear small extracts from book which should be on children's reading list: th-cam.com/video/6p6iL989P_8/w-d-xo.html
There are three published Angelina videos created and directed by Mery:
---- Fly Me To The Moon (you already reacted to song when Angelina as 10-year old, sung it with acoustic guitar in one of her most viewed videos)
---- When You're Smiling (as 11-year old, starts out with her missing school attendance. She is riding bike and comes across sad girl crying and stops to see what is wrong. You will have to watch to see what happens next: th-cam.com/video/bLuNQ6s7fCQ/w-d-xo.html)
---- Shield [as 12-year old, Angelina wrote this song. As 13-year old, Mery did artistic video of Angelina singing song: th-cam.com/video/m8OCbAlr_48/w-d-xo.html. As 12-year old, sung on very popular Scandinavian talk show Skavlan (2.5 to 3 million viewers per show): th-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/w-d-xo.html]
[In interview (changes to English at about 0:36 mark) before Angelina sung on Skavlan, paraphrasing, she said that when she sings she goes into endless other world that is full of happiness. She said that song Shield is about someone you love and whose strong love protects you wherever you are. Angelina said song's sound was inspired by Bond films. Her favorite Bond film songs are Diamonds Are Forever and Goldfinger. She sings few bars of Diamonds Are Forever a cappella. She said that highlight of her career was singing for Quincy Jones' 85th birthday concert in London. When asked if she feels like she is 12 years old, Angelina says she only does when she looks at her passport: th-cam.com/video/97hjWg4ToRQ/w-d-xo.html]
---- 7th Heaven (wrote as 15-year old. There are four video versions. Audio with lyrics that uses Mery’s painting Rows of Angels as background: th-cam.com/video/o4Vl3I1WWq4/w-d-xo.html. Audio only with last measure slightly different from studio version: th-cam.com/video/N0yK_07a1_U/w-d-xo.html. Studio live performance with last measure slightly different: th-cam.com/video/bM8DzMRbiIc/w-d-xo.html. Official music video that uses audio only soundtrack: th-cam.com/video/9rLiWvwzbCA/w-d-xo.html)
[Studio video was created by Stargate who is top shelf record producing and songwriting team (Tor E. Hermansen and Mikkel S. Eriksen) that is now based in Los Angeles. Team's genres include R&B, pop and hip hop. They have won 4 Grammy Awards and been nominated 17 times. Besides Angelina, they have produced or written for Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Lionel Richie, Wiz Khalifa, Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Rita Ora, Normani, Mis-Teeq, Celine Dion, Blue, Janet Jackson, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Sam Smith, Mary J. Blige, Ne-Yo, Katy Perry, Coldplay, Pink, Sia, Whitney Houston, Nas, Chris Brown, Khalid, Charli XCX, Trey Songz and others]
[Angelina said: “The initial idea for ‘7th Heaven’ was that I love the number 7, and ‘heaven’ is such a powerful word and makes you dream away,” she explained. “I collaborated with Stargate to create ‘7th Heaven.’ The background story of making this song was that I had this melody that I played for Tor and Mikkel and it turned out that they loved the idea and it went pretty smooth from there to the finish [the] song.” Angelina and her team kept tweaking the song until it was perfect and ready for release. “We definitely tried many different elements to feel the right sound to it,” she said.]
[Angelina revealed that she is often inspired to create music from personal pain: “Strong emotions, mainly painful ones, often make me write music,” she shared]
[Angelina said that studio video will look like: “The visual will look something like old school meets new school kinda vibe to it,” she assured. “I love the styles they had before and I want to bring it back again.”]
---- Million Miles (co-wrote as 14-year old. There are four video versions. Audio with lyrics using Mery’s paintings as background: th-cam.com/video/NhKRh5ZtuWk/w-d-xo.html. Audio only: th-cam.com/video/2D9qvBfx47s/w-d-xo.html. Studio live performance: th-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/w-d-xo.html. Official music video: th-cam.com/video/XA1_CUaM52I/w-d-xo.html)

Thank you for joining us at TSR, @GEB! Firstly, thank you so much for the information but I must let you know that I've been reacting to AJ for almost 2 years and one of the ONLY reasons that I am still bitter about having my channel stolen was that I lost all 83 of the reaction videos I made about AJ. My very first reaction was to 'Million Miles'. I know mostly everything you wrote, I have reacted to the interviews, listened to the Podcast and (had the book sent to me) read her book. I am caught up with every original she has released since 2020 and most of the covers as well but I still have songs I haven't reacted to before then. So, as I asked in the video, would you all like me to post a list of the songs I have covered by her in my discord or you wouldn't mind me re-reacting to them on this channel?
@@TeeSpicerReacts Sure to publishing but include links. Many of the covers were done multiple times and thus have multiple links for a given covered song. As noted prior, I also have no problem with you doing a second reaction to a cover. Maybe via a second version? I provided numerous links to various cover versions of the same song. You could refer to the original version you had reacted to and then react to the version you had not yet seen and provide comments. This is a good way to show her voice changes over time and to the slight stylistic changes she made in the covers. This can be quite effective as can be witnessed by how different/improved "My Funny Valentine" versions by AJ occurred over a six year time frame.
Angelina was great. I love the older video's for a number of reasons and the main one is, her eyes. They are so beautiful and speak to me when she sings. Her adopted blue eyes don't do that for me. Sorry. Just being honest.
Hey Tee, you said you like to react to movies? Is it because of music in the movie or just the movie itself? If it's just the movie I have one for you to watch.
First Knight, 1995, 2hr 14 min, starring Richard Gere, Julia Ormond, Sean Connery and Ben Cross. It has adventure, romance and a lot of scenes which bring a smile to your face. There are serious moments, too, and all of it will be enjoyed if you watch the whole movie from beginning to end.
You may ask, "Why is he suggesting I watch this particular movie? There must be something he wants me to see?" Yes, there is. There is a scene in the movie which will freeze you in your seat. You dare not move a muscle because of how emotionally you will be drawn into the scene. I say no more. But, you will know exactly the scene I'm talking about when it appears on the screen.
Enjoy. I know you will like it very much.
I actually saw it many years ago, LOL. I have watched MANY films of all genres, just like music, haha! You should check out my former channel, PNT TV Reacts! It's still up!
@@TeeSpicerReacts Haha! Okay, I will.
And, of course you know what scene I was talking about. That smooch was one for the books!
