This song was written in 1955 for a movie involving people held in prison, missing their lover (or something like that). The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Narges Mohammadi, an Iranian, current held in prison in Iran for advocating for women's rights. She has been sentenced to 31 years and 154 lashes. Her husband, and two children were in attendance at the award ceremony. Angelina chose this fitting song. Let us not lose sight of the fact that AJ's grandma Mery is Iranian, and thereby so is Angelina. She gave her heart and soul in this performance for obvious reasons.
☮✌🕊 Narges Mohammadi is an Iranian human rights activist and Nobel laureate. She is the vice president of the Defenders of Human Rights Center, headed by her fellow Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Shirin Ebadi. Mohammadi is held in Evin prison in Tehran, she is currently serving a sentence of 10 years and 9 months, accused of actions against national security and propaganda against the state.
Angelina has lived in Los Angeles off and on throughout her life but has lived there "permanently" since she was 12 years old - However, she travels to Norway often. Recently, Republic Records has provided her with her own studio in LA so she can write music and interact and collaborate with others in the industry at her own pace.
Expressing her empathy and compassion, Angelina made this song more than a beautiful piece with high notes. The Norwegian radio orchestra lifted the entire setting to an extraordinary experience - this orchestra suits so well with Angelina.
"Overkill" That's the best comment I've ever heard about Angelina and an orchestra together ! My God I couldn't agree more ! It's pure heaven with our angel Angelina and the orchestra Kork from Norway ! Isn't Angelina just exquisite, eloquent and stunningly beautiful ! Angelina was invited to the Nobel Peace prize awards as an honored singer to pay her respects and homage to Narges Mohammadi a woman's rights activist who is imprisoned in Iran for her beliefs. Narges has been in and out of prison for more than 31 years of her life. Her husband and twin children who are Angelina's age were there to receive this most prestigious honor for their mother. Funny thing though. Angelina na is from Norway, the Nobel Peace prize awards are from Norway. She performed with the great Norwegian orchestra Kork and her connection to the prize winner. Is that her grandmother is from Iran and Angelina has Iranian bloodline ! This is totally unbelievable. Most importantly, the song " Unchained Melody" is about a person in prison longing to get out to be with their loved ones. You could not write a better scenario for this performance. Angelina delivered beautiful her vocals with such elegance, grace and solemness to this most important prize winner ! This is who Angelina is. She is a humble, sincere, compassionate, and loving soul. This is why we love Angelina. She will be there for everyone who is suffering and bring her compassionate love through her vocals each and every time. I want to .thank you my friend for being a tremendous tremendous support for Angelina our beautiful barefoot princes. Your channel is so important to the TH-cam community. Keep posting my friend. You are so much appreciated. Sending so much. Thanks and love from Canada.👍🇨🇦❤️
You always know you are in for a treat when she closes her eyes and turns her head. Despite the fact voice coaches discourage it. But Angels dearly love her for it. Pure Angelina.
"Good artists don't need gimmicks" ... spot on! From her first performances as a little girl, she has captivated me with her charisma and mesmerized me with her voice. If there was a picture of the "it factor", it would be one of Angelina Jordan.
Hi Fable .. the Princess is already the Queen .. skipped the Empress and stepped right up to Goddess .. this is epic .. .. when you think you've seen and heard all Angelina jumpes around the Corner and proove you the opposite ..
The great international star Angelina Jordan, the great international star, delivers an astounding and majestic performance. She is surrounded by the highest level of musical accompaniment, staging, support and recognition that match her magnificent talent. Her performance and her appearance are so beautiful that they leave the audience breathless.
This performance is epic and will be a nexus point in musical history. With this performance Ms. Jordan has solidify her position in the halls of all the great musical legends of musical history. Rb
All hail ANGELINA JORDAN. move over one trick ponies. We fans tell people Angelina can sing it all however she wants in every style. Compare this to OUR TIME or NOW IM THE FOOL. In a way like BTS genre are irrelevant to Angelina. Unless you have watched a considerable portion of Angelinas back catalogue you really have no idea. Fans seem like they exaggerate with the superlatives ...but they really don't. It just that she is the most predictably unpredictably brilliant artist who never shows off every tool in her toolbox. Like her costume for this Angelina displays a nordic sensibility. An elegance of discrimination. Showing only what is needed to evoke the emotion and tell the story of a song. She is a consumate artist whose ego is sacrificed for the music. Angelina is most admired by vocalists and musicians. Vocalists like That Singer Reacts who call her a STAR VOCALIST ie. a star amongst other vocalists, and rates her vocal capabilities above greats like Adele. Quincy Jones called her the best child singer since Michael Jackson, and Queen admired her Bohemian Rhapsody arrangement so much they gave her the copyright to that arrangement ..... so why is the industry itself suppressing her. Unless you already are subscribed to her she is rarely offered on UTube. Most new fans are found because people are asking reactors to react to her. Very little radio play. Maybe they don't want real talent shading their factory produced pap. Look what happened with BTS. When the public actually get to hear something good, who else has a chance? That's why we have to keep streaming ANGELINA.
i never seen anything this. likes pouring inn wile i watch. she is is the next big thing. that is a fact. the song was insane, but the reaction made it better. thanks m8
To me this is the embodiment of Divine Grace in sound. My only analogy, would be, to the likes of Maria Callas, The stature, the elegance, the enrapturing beauty. We all are blessed with the privilege of witnessing this history of Ms. Jordan's transformative artistry. Rb
Meravigliosa ed emozionante reazione per un'Angelina che aveva una guancia rigata da una lacrima. Anche tu hai per un momento avuto un luccichio negli occhi. Numero uno entrambi.
I love your reactions bro. You're always spot on. No gimmicks in a world full of tasteless garbage. Just a real life angel standing there. Killing it. 👍🎄❤️
By now, most of Angelina's fans know the story behind this, but for anyone that is unaware of the context and importance of this performance: The video starts by saying that Angelina is there to honor a cause, and for that reason she performed this song with especial reverence to the honoree and her family. Narges Mohammadi is in prison for her fight against the oppression of women in Iran. She is currently on a hunger strike and refuses to appear in court at her own trial which she considers illegitimate. What is truly disturbing is that she was sentenced to a total of 31 years and 154 lashes. She is on trial again for the things she has been saying while in prison, including the speech she wrote for her children to read at this event. There are three things that make it particularly significant: Angelina is Norwegian and Norway is the home of the Nobel Peace Prize; her grandmother is Iranian; and Unchained Melody was written about a prisoner longing to be reunited with a loved one. It must be especially heart wrenching for Angelina, given her Iranian heritage and her empathy for the disadvantaged and downtrodden. It is even harder on Narges' husband and her two children, who are the same age as Angelina and received the award on behalf of their mother.
Thank you for the wonderful reaction Felipe. Her ability to move those who listen to her is absolutely incredible. What a fascinating and intimate interpretation of this mythical song, absolutely suitable for the occasion of the tribute to Narges Mohammadi! I was moved to see and hear Angelina singing in such an incredibly mature and charming way, this wonderful version of a fantastic song and so appropriate to the occasion, 8 years after the last time, in the same studios and with some of the musicians who accompanied her as a child, when she took her first steps into her musical future. Here Angelina was simply fantastic and "unchained", a singer who has already sung on 2 different occasions at the Nobel Prizes and at just 17 years old.💛🧡❤
At least two dozen views for me and I STILL TEAR UP! What a magical performance. I swear Angelina and KORK equals heaven on earth. And true to herself she signed it with a signature AJ run. She's the goat, in my opinion. No other voice radiates thru me like Angelinas. Love love love your AJ reactions. Thanks for sticking with her, unlike many.
The Fable Sphere, many thanks for your reaction. Angelina's performance is so elegant, respectful and emotional considering she was honoring Narges Mohammadi, this years recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Narges Mohammadi was this years' recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Narges, is currently on a hunger strike while imprisoned in Iran, for being an activist for women's rights. Her two children spoke on her behalf at this event. Most of the performers were Iranian. We know Angelina's grandmother, Mery Zamani, grew up in Iran and was a prodigy for painting and poetry. We can imagine the conversations Mery had with Angelina about Narges. This performance had to be extremely meaningful to Angelina and her family. I hope all the angels will spread the story of Narges and her mission, with the hope for change. In 1954, Alex North was contracted to compose the score for the prison film Unchained (released in 1955). North had a melody he had written in the 1930s and composed and recorded the score when he was asked to write a song based upon the movie's theme. North asked Hy Zaret to write the lyrics. After first refusing, Zaret and North together wrote "Unchained Melody. Zaret refused the producer's request to include the word "unchained" in his lyrics. The song eventually became known as the "Unchained Melody" even though the song does not actually include the word "unchained". Instead, Zaret chose to focus on someone who pines for a lover he has not seen in a "long, lonely time". The film centered on a man who contemplates either escaping from prison to live life on the run or completing his sentence and returning to his wife and family. So indeed this song fits along with Narges being in prison and her two children, and the rest of the people who embrace freedom, calling for her release.
Utter brilliance, class, grace, beauty, elegance, unmatchable talent, otherworldly and completely, incomparably beautiful voice ...there aren't enough words in any language to adequately describe what are undoubtedly the 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th (etc. ad infinitum) wonders of the world all rolled into one, that is Angelina Jordan. When, in sharp and odious contrast, you look at the unmitigated, often vulgar, often misogynous rubbish, completely devoid on anything that can possibly be mistaken for talent, and yet is dominating the major music charts, you really have to wonder whether this world has gone insane.
This wasnt a competition FS, This was a tribute to narges mahammadi a woman that won the nobel peace prize but shes in prision in Iran for staning up for womens righrs in Iran, This song meant something very special to angelina cuz her grandmother merry is Iranian and thats like her bestb friend. Angelina held back her power out of respect for Narges and the npbel peace prize people. She didnt want it all about angelina shes very humble. God Bless Angelina. I think shes already Blessed. Correction I dont think, I know shes already Blessed. Thanks FS another great reaction sir.
It will be the force of Ms. Jordan's persona and message, as well as her passion and dedication to her artistry, that will make Ms. Angelina Jordan's name synonymous with greatness. Rb
I am always very critical when it comes to this song, my all time favorite is by The Righteous Brothers but Angelina's version comes in 2nd place for me, I really enjoy listening to it from her.❤❤
@@Hundhammer hahaha hello, of course I can be found on other channels of reactors who post a lot of singers/music that I am interested in and love. I have been subscribed to some channels like this one from Fil for a long time. Have a nice evening Dominik 💖
@@leebrn8588 I know 5 versions of her when she was 8 years old, 10 years old, 12 years old and the last two recent ones. In principle, it is certainly very talented to sing that song as well as she does from the age of 8 to 12. I like the recent ones the most, but I can't choose between the 2 which one is the best for me, the one in Portsmouth surprised me and touched me deeply, but I also listened to this one with orchestra breathlessly. Conclusion......I will go for both and not because Angelina comes close to Bobby's version but because of all the covers that exist she has made something great out of it in her own style.
the version by the Righteous Brothers (Bobby Hathfield) is my all time favorite I love this song so much ❤❤but is not original. In 1955 it was sung for a film by Tod Duncan and several other singers sang it that same year and many others over the years.But the most notable is the version by Righteous Brothers that released it 10 years later in 1965 .
"Unchained Melody" is a 1955 song with music by Alex North and lyrics by Hy Zaret. North wrote the music as a theme for the prison film Unchained (1955), hence the song title. Todd Duncan sang the vocals for the film soundtrack. It has since become a standard and one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, most notably by the Righteous Brothers in 1965
5:29 spitting facts right there. Those who are lost and braindead won't even understand what is beautiful about this. Not gonna go into it because I will type a paragraph here but the only thing I can say is look at who is getting the big numbers and biggest views, the garbage and the ones promoting what is bad to society. Angelina might be the girl who will save society from the bad artists out there. She won't give up, she doesn't care for the numbers as long as she sings the right songs in a right and good manner and promote goodness. Angelina is continuing what other Legends started. John Lennon was one of the good ones too.... You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will live as one John Lennon - Imagine
Phil, was sooo happy to see you on this. I don't know who will come in second on the Podium but 1st is a no brainer, as is obvious. This is just Masterclass in every respect, vocals, instrumentation and Angelic Beauty!
Typically excellent and appropriate reaction. I've been waiting for the reactors I like best to react to this performance, and you're the first. No sure why all the others are dragging their ass, but the substance of your reaction was anticipated and didn't disappoint. Stay real.
This is Angelina's second performance for the Nobel Ceremony. Angelina performed "What a Wonderful World" (th-cam.com/video/Hv7G-o_kEf8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Af2HgBMsQokxJGLR), at 8 years old, the same year that she won Norway Got Talent. She also performed “Summertime” (th-cam.com/video/stwF4ti1tbc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=P4uA1WfcZox3VNqs in (2017) with the KORK Orchestra.
Her voice has grown up. It has something more. i’m 72. I was in the eighth grade when two high schoolers, the good looking boys all the girls were crushing on stood on the stage and sang this.
Like you, I loved this song sung by the Righteous Brothers and played throughout the film Ghost, it's been covered by quite a few, but this arrangement by Angelina is by far my favourite. while listening to her singing this in front of the children of that poor woman imprisoned in Iran for speaking up for women's rights, it just breaks my heart! A spot on reaction!
Fil, my favorite cover has been The Righteous Brothers. This is beautiful and more laid back, even though Angelina is hitting those high notes. Lovely. #QcumberSquad #AngelinaJordan - Fil, I'm off back to the study.
Then you missed AJ Portsmouth Concert back in September. Different arrangement included a sax. She still slowed it down but was more powerful. Here she was being classy and scaled it down to fit the occasion.
@@sonjacarlyle5341 The original artist, Todd Duncan, was undoubtedly a great singer and a beautiful baritone. But he original lacks the crescendo at the end added by Bobby Hatfield in his cover (same with Elvis btw). The 1955 original is nice as well of course.
"Simplicity is the ultimate Sophistication.!!!" - Clare [ Ms. Angelina "Magical Vocalist & Song Writer + Book Author" Jordan ] Boothe Luce Hi - Mr. F. S.
Angelina sings on behalf of all the women in Iran who is not permitted to sing, to show their hair or swim in the sea. This is what this preformanse is all about: freedom for the iranian women.
Nice to see you again, Fil. And thanks a lot for another great reaction to Angelina. And a BIG shout out to Tom as well👍👍👍 Angelina's M.O. is far above most artists out there today, and at age 17 she really shows us how one of the best, if not THE best female singer in the world, does her work. An example for others to aspire to, for sure. Here is a little more information on this event and so on that I have prepared. This ceremony is always held here in Norway, and she flew in from LA to perform in her home country. The Nobel Peace Prize is one of 5 Nobel Prizes awarded every year for worthy recipients. The peace prize recipients are nominated and chosen by the Norwegian Nobel Committee, appointed by the Parliament of Norway, as per the will of Alfred Nobel, the Swedish founder of the event. He was a Swedish chemist, engineer and inventor and was the one who invented dynamite. Not very peace-like, but still. The Nobel prizes have been awarded for the last 122 years, starting in 1901. This year's prize was awarded to women's rights advocate Narges Mohammadi from Iran for her work in fighting against the oppression of women in Iran. All the performers in the event were from Iran or had Iranian descent. Angelina's grandmother Mery Zamani was born in Iran, and so I can imagine that performing here meant a LOT for Angelina and her family. Narges was sentenced to 31 years in jail and I believe 154 lashes. If you look up the lyrics and the story behind the song, you will understand that it was a beautiful choice for the occasion, and the lyrics may very well be interpreted as being told by Narges herself, and/or her family, which she hasn't seen in many years. Her son and daughter live in France, and they came to Norway to receive the prize in their mother's place. All in all this was an extremely beautiful performance, one which suits Angelina perfectly, as she has helped raise millions of dollars through the years for various charity events, and she has even been seen in the streets of LA, helping underprivileged people. A tradition that she carries on from her childhood, where her Japanese grandfather and husband to her Iranian grandmother could be seen in the streets of Oslo, the capital of Norway, doing the same deeds. As an example, she donated the 50.000 USD that she got for winning Norway's Got Talent when she was 8, to charity. And also, she always performs barefeet to remind herself of an encounter she had with a girl from the Middle East when she was 6 years old, who was weighing people on the streets to make a living for her and her siblings, as they had no parents and were homeless. The girl had scarry feet and had no shoes, so Angelina gave her shoes to the girl. She later wrote a book about this encounter, called "Between Two Hearts", and became Norway's youngest published author at age 9. If you pay close attention, you will see that Angelina was yet again performing barefoot, staying true to herself in remembrance of the girl she met. Angelina is a beautiful human being inside and out, and an incredibly worthy artist to perform at this event. Take care and have a wonderful Christmas, Fil! Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
This song was written in 1955 for a movie involving people held in prison, missing their lover (or something like that). The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Narges Mohammadi, an Iranian, current held in prison in Iran for advocating for women's rights. She has been sentenced to 31 years and 154 lashes. Her husband, and two children were in attendance at the award ceremony. Angelina chose this fitting song. Let us not lose sight of the fact that AJ's grandma Mery is Iranian, and thereby so is Angelina. She gave her heart and soul in this performance for obvious reasons.
Angelina said she was honored that KORK agreed to use her arraignment for this performance . PURE CLASS !!!
She made me cry, and I"m a 69 y.o. vibrant healthy Texan.

Angelina Jordan's historical journey is captivating, as she showcases her talent at the age of 17 with a voice that transcends time and space.

Angelina Jordan's performance was a testament to her artistic maturity and versatility, as well as a promise of more musical wonders to come.

Artists Extraordinaire
Angelina Jordan is a musical artist who paints a stunning soundscape with the emotion in her voice, just as Mery Zamani. her famous grandmother does with her paintings. Both of them are artists extraordinaire and both of them have a unique and remarkable talent that transcends the ordinary. Angelina Jordan's songs are like colorful paintings that evoke a range of emotions and sensations in the listener, while Mery Zamani's paintings are like lyrical poems that capture the beauty and mystery of life. © Larry D.

Thank you do much for ghd background on this stunning performance ❤
Worlds next superstar if the world ever wakes up!
Utter brilliance, class, grace, beauty, elegance, unmatchable talent, otherworldly and completely, incomparably beautiful voice ...there aren't enough words in any language to adequately describe what are undoubtedly the 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th (etc. ad infinitum) wonders of the world all rolled into one, that is Angelina Jordan. When, in sharp and odious contrast, you look at the unmitigated, often vulgar, often misogynous rubbish, completely devoid on anything that can possibly be mistaken for talent, and yet is dominating the major music charts, you really have to wonder whether this world has gone insane.
Trash likes trash water finds it's own level. A goddess like Angelina is never appreciated until she is gone
Well here we go again We`ve all been Angelized, and we love it. good reaction mate.
This wasnt a competition FS, This was a tribute to narges mahammadi a woman that won the nobel peace prize but shes in prision in Iran for staning up for womens righrs in Iran, This song meant something very special to angelina cuz her grandmother merry is Iranian and thats like her bestb friend. Angelina held back her power out of respect for Narges and the npbel peace prize people. She didnt want it all about angelina shes very humble. God Bless Angelina. I think shes already Blessed. Correction I dont think, I know shes already Blessed. Thanks FS another great reaction sir.
The mini series I made is in a competition, the song itself its not in a competition.

It will be the force of Ms. Jordan's persona and message, as well as her passion and dedication to her artistry, that will make Ms. Angelina Jordan's name synonymous with greatness. Rb
THIS.IS.AN.ARTIST!
She returned home with her family in a beautiful private jet like you said give her everything give her what she wants wild bill angel 😇 since 2016.
Exquisite! She is ready for Carnegie Hall. Could the Royal Philharmonic do any better with her? 😇🌺
No. There’s a synergy between Angelina and KORK I don’t think can be matched.
I am always very critical when it comes to this song, my all time favorite is by The Righteous Brothers but Angelina's version comes in 2nd place for me, I really enjoy listening to it from her.❤❤
Oh, hej Coby, nice to see you here... Yeah, AJ delivers an immaculate female version, and KORK are one GREAT orchestra... Have a nice evening!
@@Hundhammer hahaha hello, of course I can be found on other channels of reactors who post a lot of singers/music that I am interested in and love. I have been subscribed to some channels like this one from Fil for a long time. Have a nice evening Dominik 💖
Which one of Angelina's 3 versions comes in second to Bobby Hatfield in your opinion?
@@leebrn8588 I know 5 versions of her when she was 8 years old, 10 years old, 12 years old and the last two recent ones. In principle, it is certainly very talented to sing that song as well as she does from the age of 8 to 12. I like the recent ones the most, but I can't choose between the 2 which one is the best for me, the one in Portsmouth surprised me and touched me deeply, but I also listened to this one with orchestra breathlessly. Conclusion......I will go for both and not because Angelina comes close to Bobby's version but because of all the covers that exist she has made something great out of it in her own style.
What to say, this girl is something else!!!!! Just BEAUTIFUL.
It is beautiful when Angelina’s diverse family experience and history come out of her music. It is a wonderful way to bring together we are all one.
Thanks for the reaction to our angel Angelina.. she’s simply the best..👍👏
Es una de mis canciones preferidas 🎻🎺, sin embargo por Elvis no … Angelina belleza de canción 🇪🇸
Unchained Melody is an original of The Righteous Brothers de 1955 😊😊❤❤
the version by the Righteous Brothers (Bobby Hathfield) is my all time favorite I love this song so much ❤❤but is not original. In 1955 it was sung for a film by Tod Duncan and several other singers sang it that same year and many others over the years.But the most notable is the version by Righteous Brothers that released it 10 years later in 1965 .
@@Coby-Fajalobi Thank you for clarifying that. I'll listen to this now 🥰🥰
"Unchained Melody" is a 1955 song with music by Alex North and lyrics by Hy Zaret. North wrote the music as a theme for the prison film Unchained (1955), hence the song title. Todd Duncan sang the vocals for the film soundtrack. It has since become a standard and one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, most notably by the Righteous Brothers in 1965
@@Coby-FajalobiYes.
5:29 spitting facts right there. Those who are lost and braindead won't even understand what is beautiful about this. Not gonna go into it because I will type a paragraph here but the only thing I can say is look at who is getting the big numbers and biggest views, the garbage and the ones promoting what is bad to society. Angelina might be the girl who will save society from the bad artists out there. She won't give up, she doesn't care for the numbers as long as she sings the right songs in a right and good manner and promote goodness. Angelina is continuing what other Legends started.
John Lennon was one of the good ones too....
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Amazing
This concert was just a glorious and heart warming experience. Pure perfection.
Phil, was sooo happy to see you on this. I don't know who will come in second on the Podium but 1st is a no brainer, as is obvious. This is just Masterclass in every respect, vocals, instrumentation and Angelic Beauty!
😃😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 great reaction thank you
Typically excellent and appropriate reaction. I've been waiting for the reactors I like best to react to this performance, and you're the first. No sure why all the others are dragging their ass, but the substance of your reaction was anticipated and didn't disappoint. Stay real.
Youre funny and so right! Good artists dont need any gimmicks. ❤
First time hearing you react. You speak such truth. Good job. I am a great fan of Angelina Jordan and appreciate her wonderful artistry.
Wow
Angelina is amazing I have never ever heard her give a bad performance greatness what else can be said
This is Angelina's second performance for the Nobel Ceremony. Angelina performed "What a Wonderful World" (th-cam.com/video/Hv7G-o_kEf8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Af2HgBMsQokxJGLR),
at 8 years old, the same year that she won Norway Got Talent. She also performed “Summertime” (th-cam.com/video/stwF4ti1tbc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=P4uA1WfcZox3VNqs in (2017) with
the KORK Orchestra.
Her voice has grown up. It has something more.
i’m 72. I was in the eighth grade when two high schoolers, the good looking boys all the girls were crushing on stood on the stage and sang this.
Only one sang it Bobby Hatfield
Greetings from Poland😀😀😀😀😀
Like you, I loved this song sung by the Righteous Brothers and played throughout the film Ghost, it's been covered by quite a few, but this arrangement by Angelina is by far my favourite. while listening to her singing this in front of the children of that poor woman imprisoned in Iran for speaking up for women's rights, it just breaks my heart!
A spot on reaction!
Goosebumps down in my toes by this performance ❤️ Did not think that was possible 😳 Loved your shirt btw, love Angeball ❤️
Great reaction. Thanks!!
Great reaction, shame about the shirt!! #teamAJ #COYG
😂😂😂 i don't support Spurs. I have many football shirts :)
WISH we could see video......

Angelina +Kork =PERFECTION !!
The deep sadness she puts into this performance. The orchestra balances out this sadness so well. I wonder who did the arrangement?
It is truly perfection ❤. And you as well ❤
Великолепное выступления❤❤
She has lived in LA since she was 12 she is the best vocalist of our time Wild bill
What a great reaction. Fun to watch you. loved it.
Fil, my favorite cover has been The Righteous Brothers. This is beautiful and more laid back, even though Angelina is hitting those high notes. Lovely.
#QcumberSquad #AngelinaJordan - Fil, I'm off back to the study.
🙏
Then you missed AJ Portsmouth Concert back in September. Different arrangement included a sax. She still slowed it down but was more powerful. Here she was being classy and scaled it down to fit the occasion.
Still prefer the original ….❤
@@sonjacarlyle5341 The original artist, Todd Duncan, was undoubtedly a great singer and a beautiful baritone. But he original lacks the crescendo at the end added by Bobby Hatfield in his cover (same with Elvis btw). The 1955 original is nice as well of course.
@@paulwagner9303 Absolutely LOVE Elvis version but don’t know Bobby Hatfield. I’ll check it out. ❤️
Great Reaction 👍🙏👣💯

She's lived in Los Angelos since she was 10.
Angelina sings on behalf of all the women in Iran who is not permitted to sing, to show their hair or swim in the sea. This is what this preformanse is all about: freedom for the iranian women.
Our International Queen ❤.
this is the first queen voice of our galaxy
Incrível o poder que essa garota tem de transformar todas as músicas que canta em verdadeiras obras primas!!!
Uma voz única em uma cantora perfeita...
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Vogliamo dire che Angelina ha la stessa classe di Sinatra?Ho detto tutto.Dimenticavo: Angelina ha 17anni........
Please tell me you are being paid to wear that shirt, Great Reaction
😂😂 I'm not, but I'm also not a Spurs supporter. It's one of the many football shirts I have. 🙂
Um toque na alma !
Nice to see you again, Fil. And thanks a lot for another great reaction to Angelina. And a BIG shout out to Tom as well👍👍👍
Angelina's M.O. is far above most artists out there today, and at age 17 she really shows us how one of the best, if not THE best female singer in the world, does her work. An example for others to aspire to, for sure. Here is a little more information on this event and so on that I have prepared.
This ceremony is always held here in Norway, and she flew in from LA to perform in her home country. The Nobel Peace Prize is one of 5 Nobel Prizes awarded every year for worthy recipients. The peace prize recipients are nominated and chosen by the Norwegian Nobel Committee, appointed by the Parliament of Norway, as per the will of Alfred Nobel, the Swedish founder of the event. He was a Swedish chemist, engineer and inventor and was the one who invented dynamite. Not very peace-like, but still. The Nobel prizes have been awarded for the last 122 years, starting in 1901. This year's prize was awarded to women's rights advocate Narges Mohammadi from Iran for her work in fighting against the oppression of women in Iran. All the performers in the event were from Iran or had Iranian descent. Angelina's grandmother Mery Zamani was born in Iran, and so I can imagine that performing here meant a LOT for Angelina and her family. Narges was sentenced to 31 years in jail and I believe 154 lashes. If you look up the lyrics and the story behind the song, you will understand that it was a beautiful choice for the occasion, and the lyrics may very well be interpreted as being told by Narges herself, and/or her family, which she hasn't seen in many years. Her son and daughter live in France, and they came to Norway to receive the prize in their mother's place. All in all this was an extremely beautiful performance, one which suits Angelina perfectly, as she has helped raise millions of dollars through the years for various charity events, and she has even been seen in the streets of LA, helping underprivileged people. A tradition that she carries on from her childhood, where her Japanese grandfather and husband to her Iranian grandmother could be seen in the streets of Oslo, the capital of Norway, doing the same deeds. As an example, she donated the 50.000 USD that she got for winning Norway's Got Talent when she was 8, to charity. And also, she always performs barefeet to remind herself of an encounter she had with a girl from the Middle East when she was 6 years old, who was weighing people on the streets to make a living for her and her siblings, as they had no parents and were homeless. The girl had scarry feet and had no shoes, so Angelina gave her shoes to the girl. She later wrote a book about this encounter, called "Between Two Hearts", and became Norway's youngest published author at age 9. If you pay close attention, you will see that Angelina was yet again performing barefoot, staying true to herself in remembrance of the girl she met. Angelina is a beautiful human being inside and out, and an incredibly worthy artist to perform at this event. Take care and have a wonderful Christmas, Fil! Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
