    Did you notice she had a photo.of her grandpa on the wall behind her she looked at it at the beginning of the song it's a beautiful version by Angelina but everything she sings is beautiful to me she is not afraid to let us see her checking the lyrics or what ever she writes notes on paper if she's changed anything her self which she does quite often so she checking all the time so she gets it right she is a perfectionist that's what makes her so great and yes your right when she's on stage she just remembers it all she is just beyond amazing I just adore Angelina she always makes me happier that's for sure great reaction ❤️from Denise in Yorkshire ❤️👼🏻👍👋XX

    Always appreciate your viewpoint about Angelina. I don't understand how she can scan the lyrics now and again and never stumble or lose the pacing of the song. Confidence and lack of nervousness helps but i think there's an innate ability beyond my comprehension that also plays a part.

    Am I crazy to think the secret of an enduring song is that it has well placed changes in tempo and melidy... this song for instances I counted at least 8 changes in tempo and 4 melody changes in a set that repeats itself with cool choruses between. Angelina is a master at accentuating thes changes with beatifull negative spacing for the listener to digest each change and each lyric...

  • @RustyShacklefordChannel

    My theory (and it's just a theory) was that Angelina did this as another dedication to her grandpa on the anniversary of his passing. The dates seem to line up, and she makes a point of looking at his photo at the beginning and end of the video. About the lyrics.... you will often see Angelina reading the lyrics from a phone, tablet, sheet, etc. Even in her concerts she seem to have lyric sheets somewhere nearby. ...but you have to remember, she has covered so many songs (131 just by my count). It is probably hard to remember all those lyrics when someone else wrote them, but I imagine as she gets deeper into her own original works, we will see the lyric sheets go away.

    I read a comment on another review, where Angelina was using her mobile during the performance. They said that Angelina was doing her calculus homework on her phone while singing the song.
    I think she is just not bothered to fully memorise the lyrics. She appears to have been methodically going through a process of recording as wide as possible range of songs, probably not spending much time on anyone of them. She could be doing that to develop her skills and/or to find what style suits her. Anyway the fact she has amassed such a large body of work is great for us fans.
    The fact that Angelin can perform so flawlessly while still reading some of the lyrics is amazing. I agree with you that that skill would be much appreciated in some sections of the music industry.

    • @yves2932
      @yves2932 4 роки тому +4

      That sounds plausible. I imagine getting the arrangement and singing style right will take some time. Memorizing the last 5% of the lyrics up to 100% is probably second priority then.

    • @xartisan576
      @xartisan576 4 роки тому +4

      It reminds me of when she sang La Boheme to her sister 2-3 years before it was released on the album. The lyrics are quite difficult, and she clearly didn’t know them at that point. Juliette was climbing on her the whole time, yet she didn’t miss a beat.

    Two points: Angelina often uses either her cell phone or her computer as a standby for lyrics, which in this case appears to have been a computer to her left. Also, rest assured Angelina knows who's who in music, including Marshmello, an interesting character to say the least, about whom and the band Bastille, I dug up the following for your perusal: "Happier" is a song by American music producer Marshmello and British band Bastille. Written and produced by Marshmello, with lyrics from Dan Smith and Steve Mac, it was released by Astralwerks on August 17, 2018. It reached number two on both the UK Singles Chart and the Billboard Hot 100 and is the highest charting single for Marshmello in both the UK and the US. It is also Bastille's highest charting single as well on both charts surpassing their 2013 single "Pompeii"'s number five peak on the Hot 100 …

    Although Angelina didn’t say so, I’m almost sure she was singing this song to her grandfather. You can feel the pain in her voice. It was released about 13 month after he passed away and might have been recorded few weeks earlier around the time of the first anniversary of his death. According to Angelina he was in pain the last few months of his life. At the beginning of this song, she glances behind her at his photo as if she is saying: This is for you grandpa, now that you’re in heaven, I want you to be happier. Again at the end of the song she glances back at his photo as if she heard him say: Bravo Angelina.
    Ivan Mendez complements Angelina very well. He plays several instruments and is a very good singer too. He has a UA-cam channel called IVAN LIVES.
    Thank you for your reaction video and keep up the the good work.

      Can someone clarify for me. Is Angelina played over the airways in the UK? I have never heard her played on radio stations in the USA. Other artists we don't hear on the radio here include Aurora, Dimash, Danyela and Diana. I am so envious if Brits actually get to hear these artists.

    • @davidtouma4878
      @davidtouma4878 4 роки тому +4

      Marion Renner
      Someone in the UK might be able to better clear that for you.
      In North America most music stations are affiliated with large entertainment companies who own many of the music labels and tend to play artists who are signed to those music labels or other artists who are very popular and are on the charts. It is very rare that these stations play independent artist or UA-camrs especially if they are under the age of 16 except maybe at special celebrations like Xmas etc.

    Now that you've heard this, you should check out the original on your own. You will see why she is a "song righter," which i mistakenly said once, but is seems to fit. Just in case you haven't heard the big news, Angelina has signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. New album soon I hope!

      @billmecorney 4 роки тому +2

      Don't read too much into her hands, her breathing, or the lyrics. She is the most confident, comfortable singer I have seen in my long life. Watch her hands in the Whitney cover, or in I put a spell on you. In any particular song she will be natural, confident, and pure genius. On top of all her brilliance, she remains unassuming, and not afraid at all of showing too many feelings, making a mistake, or worrying about the audience. I share your appreciation of her work. I am hopelessly addicted to this one, this gift from God himself......

  • @hichambarrak2902
    @hichambarrak2902 4 роки тому +18

    My guess is that she's not looking at the lyrics, but at the musical notes to match the lyrics with the correct pitch & intonation required for that particular line. It was crystal clear when she was doing the cover of Adele's "When we were young". Great reaction as usual!

    • @YozhikvTumane
      @YozhikvTumane 4 роки тому +9

    Angelina - Taylor Swift
    This is not a comparison of there music but of there journey.
    Taylor started at a young age, had (have) very supportive parents (musically inclined) signed with a record company at age 14 and at 15 signed a record deal with Scott Borchetta
    She had control over most of her work. And now look at her.
    Sort of reminds me of Angelina. There music is mostly different.
    Taylor already a very powerful woman and Angelina soon to be a powerful woman herself.

    • @jerrylarocque9600

      The biggest difference i see is in fan appeal. Swift's fans tend to be young girls whereby Angelina's fan base is more diverse. Adults and seniors comprise a large fan base for Angelina. This is in large part to her talent in singing jazz. Now that she has done covers of more current performers and with the popularity of her AGT appearance, she has clearly increased her fan base to include a younger audience.

  • @zeljkoguber

    About reading lyrics, my guess is that she uses it as a security feature. For example in Norway got talent in 2014 she sang "I am a fool to want you" ua-cam.com/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/v-deo.html acapella in front of Judges without reading the lyrics. I remember seeing some other occasion where she sang this song without lyrics. I guess when she practiced to sing it acapella she must have listened and sung it countless times. Then probably 3 (maybe 4) years after the Talent competition she records this song in the studio ua-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/v-deo.html and practically all the time looks at the phone to follow the lyrics. My guess again, it is a safety feature - she does not want to spend her concentration on recalling what is the next word.

    Although Angelina sings this song beautifully, the original is much more dynamic and fits better I think to the lyrics. Angelina is too soft for is this song. Although I love her singing she is one of the top two female singers on earth at this time in my opinion I prefer the original. Forgive me Angelina. This is not a song I would particularly listen to, so I listened to the original right after her performance here and I have to say I prefer the style and cadence of the original from Bastille.
