You are telling great stories! Thank you for sharing. About Angelina’s performance here, you are absolutely correct. Her singing is immaculate, but unusually for her, she doesn’t seem fully connected. Now, there is a good reason for that, as this was her first concert back in Norway for years, and she was absolutely brimming with joy - which is exactly what this song does NOT call for. At her concert nine days later at the same venue, she definitely DID connect, and the band was also much tighter. I was there, and it was one of the best concerts I have ever been to (in four decades). Mind you, Angelina has a TikTok version of this song, with only her playing guitar and singing this song in New Orleans at 4 AM. That one is sooo raw - and absolutely golden!
"Butter and gravel" -- perfect description of the spectrum of Angelina's amazing tone. She's always in "jam session" mode with her band, you can see the back-and-forth with all of them. I love that aspect of the way she works with other musicians. Would be great if she were to record this, and as you said, find those more intense feelings about the lyrics. Thanks for your Angelina reactions!
Enjoy your reactions a lot....much different than most. You really should take the suggestion below in comments and listen to her jam this with her guitar if you want to hear the connection she has with this great song...it is truly stunning what she does with her voice being recorded on a Cell or camera at home... You WILL not be disappointed for sure. Cheers, stay well, and thank you for this reaction and comments.
I love listening to you struggle to find the right word befitting Angelina. She envelops a song. She draws us into the musical story. A master of her craft.🌺
Thank you for another grand reaction to Angelina. There are much better visual and audio recordings available of Angelina's concerts in Norway. My preference are the ones recorded by Mattias Axelsson or Geir Stian Aaslund. Here are the links: Mattias Axelsson - ua-cam.com/users/mattiaseasearch?query=angelina and Geir Stian Asslund - ua-cam.com/channels/vtuCxibco3yg08yLkJSh7w.html
Excellent reaction and she did a version of this on Tik Tok, it was short, but to me much better than this performance. It had more what you were talking about, God Bless!
So nice to hear your reaction on this. I feel the recording could be better, but.... she usually does research her songs. It would be great to hear the whole song. 💜
Angelina also performed this on July 10th (Angelina's 16 1/2 birthday) at the same concert venue -better video and audio quality: ua-cam.com/video/2k1Kmc2tzqU/v-deo.html
I love personal stories like that, thanks for sharing! She really makes you hear and feel songs and in that way trigger memories. She also did a TikTok jamming with her guitar at 5 am in New Orleans: ua-cam.com/video/wPMjaGzpIKo/v-deo.html So much soul in that little TikTok as well This sort of song is indeed right up her alley. I like to call her voice in such case like sandy silk.
Interesting analysis. I agree with you that there are still greater depths available to her. I think time & life will take care of that. In the meantime, we still get to hear that remarkable voice. I recently was reminded of a cover of Angelina's that always moves me to tears. She's rehearsing the song I Will Always Love You with just a guitarist as accompaniment. It is so heartfelt, so humble, and I can't really explain how she does that. Here's the link, if you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/eml4tIAqWUY/v-deo.html
For some reason she reminds me in this song a bit of Amy Winehouse. She's still young, so she can still learn a lot about living the lyrics, I guess. But knowing she's a 16 year old Norwegian singer .... I think this is really good.
Since this song means so much to you personally (and I loved that you shared the story of your father 🥲) you might want to have a listen to it again as she did it ten days later in the same venue: ua-cam.com/video/WpD821uKtDs/v-deo.html
Actually, yes, I did hear that right after I was done editing this one. I watched it and was kicking myself that I didn’t react to that one. All the critiques I had about being connected to the song were answered in that performance. She was stupendous.
@@pontusosterlin1966 Hi - I’m thinking that she did really good as a 16 year old kid back home in Norway for the first time in a long while, and I imagine this first concert had lots of things in play for her - first full concert in years due to Covid, jet lag from travel, lack of rehearsal time with the band, nervous excitement and joy to be performing again and wanting to be good for the fans - I can’t imagine the emotions she must have been feeling - I wish I could have been there to show my support and appreciation, and I look forward to seeing her here in the US in the near future😄
@@tnae If there’s a choice of which version to choose from these three concerts, I’d go with the July 10 one, EXCEPT Mount Everest, where the Kongsberg version is the best imho. So glad you’re finding joy in Angelina.
This was spectacular and in my opinion one of the best performances of the concert. I believe it surely is a taste of things to come. Your reaction was sincere and enjoyable, but please remember to elevate just a bit more your support for aspiring young artists like Angelina that you appreciate, as it will create more subscriptions and fan loyalty. Encourage your viewers to like, share, and comment on the links you provide for Angelina's original video, and to subscribe using your links to her official and cover Channels. Suggest they do the same for you! Thank you for already providing the original video link but realize most of your viewers do not know how to best support you or the artist without your verbal encouragement. Young aspiring artists need and deserve your support for their algorithm and career. Many fans including myself will be more likely to subscribe to your channel when you implement these guidelines for Angelina and other young artists. Thank you for all you are doing thus far.
I don't know if you read my comments from a previous video about how she changes vowel sounds, but I mentioned that here is one place she gets it wrong. She sings "... she suuud my new blue jeans." instead of "... she soood my new blue jeans". It seemed so out of place since ooo is a much easier vowel to carray a tune on than uuu.
I think you need to watch her tic toc version of this if you want to see more of her interpretation of the song. You don't have to do a reaction, but go give it a listen. If you do please comment back.
We all try to find words to describe this rare being, but alas there are never enough to accomplish our goal of aggrandization of AJ because she resides on a mountain too high.
Love this song since I was a kid. Would love for her to do a full studio version. She released this version on tiktok back in January just her playing guitar and singing to her cell phone. IMO, it is better than this one: ua-cam.com/video/wPMjaGzpIKo/v-deo.html
Great. I prefer her tik tok version when she is also playing the guitar. She doesnt have to work with bands timing. Her mike needs balanced better with the band

Check out her Instagram version of this song. There is much depth in her feeling in this song.
Agree
I also agree. She seems to like singing at 5am

I love you sharing your memories of your father, be real as you always are, it's so essential... Thanks ever so much 😘😘
Thank you so much for sharing your story about this song..it made her performance even more real for me..appreciate you 🙏
Excellent reaction and she did a version of this on Tik Tok, it was short, but to me much better than this performance. It had more what you were talking about, God Bless!
You must listen to her very short performance of this song with a guitar on TikTok.
Mozart and Angelina = is true!
Thank you for a wonderful reaction! 👌😀💫❤️

And only 11 years old!
angelina geniusly changed emphasis from the word WAS to mother and to father and changed pronunciation of sewed to rhyme with blue...so tasty...

(22) Angelina Jordan consert Kurbadhagen in Sandefjord in Norway!! (It was insane) - UA-cam This link has the best sound and does AJ justice.

@@tnae My guess is she got a little more rehearsal time. Or what do you think was the reason?

React Hua Chenyu "I Don't Care" please.
You should really have a look at Lucy Thomas' channel. The fact she is not an international star is beyond me!
Yes I am one that liked the TicTok a little better than this one.
