This was done in 1 or 2 takes as were all the Angelina/Ivan Mendez sessions. You may notice she looks over to her left. She's looking at her cell phone where she uploaded the lyrics because she hadn't memorized them. For more info on how this series came about, check out "The Angelina Jordan Story- Ivan Mendez Interview (LA guitarist)"
It seems like it should not be possible for someone to be this great. And that something else must be involved? Angelina has expression excellence with such diversity that it's just baffling.
Her ability to sing each song in a way that makes it special is incredible. I have watched her since her Norway's Got Talent which she won at 7 years old and at 13 her poise and talent is unmatched
Guitar player is Ivan Mendez, a business manager/ consultant. UA-cam search Ivan Mendez interview by Alan Papier awesome insight into the workings of Angelina
Thank you for your reaction! I'm Ivan Mendez and I accompanied Jordan in this song. I just released a new song today on my channel and I would love to hear your thoughts!
Just spotted your 3 year old comment. I've seen most of AJ's songs that you provided the first rate backing for. Your face is always a picture. Thanks for the music.
No need to apologize about your dog. My precious 14 year old English died 11 months ago and I still cry everyday. She stole my heart when I got her, and broke it when she left me HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
Maunalee, I loved seeing your expression that mirrors mine. Angelina Jordan is so special, so talented, so able to control my heart. Loved seeing the surprise on your face, as was mine for the years that I have followed her. Thanks for reviewing her work. She is always so exceptional. She does not even realize the impact that she has on us. She is truly special. Thank you Maunalee. I love your face too.
I know you're a huge, huge Adele fan, so this might cheese you off, but now when I listen to Adele sing this, all I can think is, 'Oh, hey, Adele's doing a cover of an Angelina song'.
We all need to regroup and recharge sometimes, and then to come back to this song. I can honestly say i have never heard a song sang with so much raw emotion. 😊🌏
OMG!!! I love Miss Jordan's voice in this video, I have watched it at least a dozen times on her channel. Miss Jordan is such a talented young lady it just blows the mind.
I'm a big fan of Adele; she is a great singer and song writer. This was a big hit for her, and one of my favorites. Then I heard Angelina's cover, and was like WTF. If you close your eyes from start to finish, the emotional impact is simply unreal. I cry with my eyes closed. Angelina can drag you into her emotions while she's singing. While I love pretty much everything she sings, and I think her voice is over the moon, it's that emotional draw that separates her from other great singers. And she does it time and time again. She is the total package. Thanks ML, for another great reaction to the fabulous Angelina. 😊💕
This is one of the most requested Angelina videos for good reason. Just a 12 year old in her room.... out-singing one of the highest rated voices of current times. Angelina's cover of this song is just one more example of how she can convey the original intent of a song even better than the original artist. She can really make you feel the words. BTW: The guitar man is Ivan Mendez. Angelina does some really great work with him. You will be seeing him many times. If you see him in the thumbnail of a video, it's a winner ;)
Not even taking anything away from the original, but this song just fits Angelina's voice A LOT better than Adele's. It's like movie casting, sometimes a part just fits better for certain actors.
I kind d of GA e up listening g to music on the radio. All the stations have gone ( wild) or gotten lost in all the crazy music and singers. Angie. Brought me back. But now its just to listen to her over an over and over
I never knew this Adele song existed either till I saw Angelina’s cover then I saw Adele’s version and as good as Adele is Angelina in my opinion blows her away. So much more emotion which is crazy since she’s so young with not enough life experience to be able to sing this song as if she’s lived it. It’s crazy. Glad you’re feeling a little better. A loss of a good friend (human or canine) is hard, very hard. Just remember that you gave your dog years of love and comfort and he or she was very lucky to have you as it’s friend. 🙏🙏🙏
Yes I think A lot of people in the 70s looked into Frank Sinatra because of Rich Little and then today people are looking into Frank again because of Sal Valentinetti. It's a rare gift
@@Cal99ers Lots of people are looking into Frank Sinatra Elvis Presley Ella Fitzgerald Billie Holiday James Brown Lois Armstrong Screeming Jay Hawkins Amy Winehouse Lana Del Ray even Whitney Houston and Adele and about 70 other Artists because of Angelina Jordan A-🌟 She reintroduces all the Greats to us ~ OneLove ~ JBB
Yup - this is the crown jewel of Angelina covers, I'm glad you finally got to it. Her vocal talents are in full display in this song, and the emotional impact is overwhelming. No offense to Adele but she can't hold a candle to this 12 year old girl for this performance. By the way, the guitarist is Ivan Mendez.
She has an amazing ability to connect with the emotion of the songs she sings and show them beautifully, heartbreakingly. especially this one. Such deep soulful issues of regret and longing. I mean wow she must have an old soul. Watching her, listening to her sing this puts you in a trance.
The video inset of her performance of this song was right above Peter Frampton and it was like he was looking up at AJ with that expression like, "Holy sh*t, who is this girl?...she feel like I do..."
i should add...I left my home & friends/family/community of 8 years (in Maine) to care for her (in Ohio), and now am living in my childhood home. So, holy heck, the lyrics are so spot on. "i miss the air, I miss my friends, I miss my mother I miss it when"..."When I walk around all of the streets Where I grew up and found my feet"...and sung in angelina's emotional, old soul, otherworldly voice
The luckiest two guitar players in the world. Sitting next to Angelina and basking in her genius. Watch Ivan enjoying this heartfelt rendition so much that he forgets the chord change at one point.
its the low notes that makes her special no singer does it better than her smokey deep amazing tones and she can hit the high notes easily my fav singer
That was Ivan Mendez. He only worked with her one summer, but they worked excellently together. I love to watch his face while she is singing and see his reactions! He did an interview with reactor Alan Papier on U Tube and said that they would usually record in one or two takes which is why you will see her looking at the words a lot. The other guitarist you see with her a lot is Egil who is Norwegian. He has been working with her from way back, and they work very well together also. I noticed on a previous video that you called the 8 ball a “he” which just goes to prove my earlier comment that an evil entity inhabits that object, and you need to get it out of your house!
So you obviously know by now that this is an Adele song. And it is crazy that little, meaning young, can sing this song with so much passion and sound like she trully lived a million years. There is a video on yt with side by side with Adele. An it is pretty mindblowing.
Close your eyes and just listen and sink back into another place where all is safe and happy and wonderful. She is amazing. Is there no end to what she can achieve. 🤷♀️🙋♀️
One of my all time favorites and they are magic together Ivan is all into it! I always cry when i here it. Adele did her thing but I must say I feel it more when Angel sings it!
Love your sincere and deeply felt critique of Angelina Jordan’s version of A Million Years Ago! The original is pretty good also by Adel I like your honesty and how emotional you were really into song Keep your Eyes on The barefoot Princess
Angelinia said once in an interview that she goes into another world when she sings so she feels the emotions and when she is finished she is back to in present
A musical prodigy, Angelina Jordan sang for the first time at barely a year old, and she never stopped. The Los Angeles-based 14-year-old singer and songwriter amplified her voice around the globe, racking up over half-a-billion UA-cam views, just shy of 2 billion Facebook views, and praise from Time, CNN, The BBC, and People. Along the way, she performed for world leaders at some of the most influential events in Europe, appeared on European and North American television, and quietly enraptured a growing fan base. In 2020, she brings a soulful signature sound to life with her Republic Records debut. The breadth of Angelina’s soulful and deep alto vocal delivery showcases a rare class of musical aptitude that you would attribute to an old soul, and legendary talent, well beyond her years. “I feel like I’ve lived many years more than my age. I feel like music found me. I want people to get connected to my music and my lyrics and to share something special with the love I have for music." Angelina went from belting out Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” to immersing herself in jazz at five-years-old. She discovered Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and Louis Armstrong by combing jazz playlists across UA-cam. At eight-years-old, she won Norway’s Got Talent with a viral rendition of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday.” Labels and producers feverishly sought her out, but she already possessed a clear picture of what her path would be. Taking her time, she opted to carefully hone her voice through countless hours of practice, gigs, and writing. “It was really great, but I knew I wanted something bigger,” she admits. “I didn’t want to jump into it until I felt I was ready.” She got “ready” through a series of historic performances. She graced the stage of the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony and delivered an emotionally charged rendition of “What A Wonderful World.” A year later, she wowed an audience at Brilliant Minds in Stockholm. Touching down in Seoul during 2017, she joined a powerhouse bill alongside PSY and Norah Jones in front of 40,000 people at Muse In City Festival. Quincy Jones personally invited her to perform at his 85th birthday at London’s O2 Arena. Every time she took the stage, she was notably barefoot, which remains one of her signatures thus far. “A long time ago, I was traveling with my family, and I met a young homeless girl with no shoes,” she recalls. “She was barefoot, so I gave her my shoes because I really wanted to help her. Today, I sing barefoot as a reminder of all the kids in the world who need help and support.” Along the way, GRAMMY® Award-winning production duo Stargate [Beyoncé, Sam Smith, Rihanna] reached out, and they initiated a fervent creative partnership together. She continued to write lyrics, compose on piano and guitar, and record. Catching the attention of Republic Records, she inked a deal with the label in 2020. Now, she formally introduces herself on the single “Million Miles.” With lyrics exclusively penned by Angelina, her robust delivery sails over sparse piano on the verses as the track builds towards a sweeping refrain, “We’re a million miles apart. It’s pulling my heart." “Million Miles” is about losing someone you really love,” she explains. “This song is very personal to me, because I had never felt the feeling of losing someone before I wrote this.” With more music on the horizon, there is more of Angelina’s captivating voice and songwriting in store. “I hope you feel connected to the music and the stories behind the songs,” she leaves off. “Love is the most powerful thing though. That’s the message.” Angelina Jordan a decade of dedication 86 Melody ua-cam.com/play/RD9TwFRt8JyZI.html
It’s funny how she just rips your heart out with that voice and emotion but at the end it’s like she’s just happy to be there🤣 Just think how much emotion she’ll be able to rip out of folks when she’s older and actually has life history to pull from. Will be amazing.
You do a wonderful review of Angelina...and as well you are sooOoOo expressive with your facial emotions. This all adds up for a great experience for us. Thank you. :)
What’s great about you hearing this song from Angelina first is that now when you hear Adele sing it, you will feel like Adele is singing an Angelina cover.
So sorry for the loss of your dog and not having your mom around during this difficult time. Maybe it wasn't an accident that you overlooked this song. Maybe it came at just the right time to bring on those emotions and reminisce. I believe crying can be a healthy release. Sending you hugs and love
this is always my favorite Angelina song. The inspired arrangement with the simple, yet touching guitar, plus the sad yet almost hauntingly sultry vocals. A song well beyond her years. Or experience. Yet somehow, she still pulls off an emotional performance. (I'd love to see her team up with Post Modern Jukebox for a few tunes)
I love your channel, which I found because I absolutely love Angelina Jordan. Every song I've heard her sing is just so amazing. I completely understand about your doggie and I know how hard it is. I've lost 3 of my dogs since October of 2018. They were all around the same age and then when they get older and start having medical problems. 2 of them were just this year in January and then in March. The sadness does get better but there are days where it still overwhelms me and I cry because I miss them so much. I do feel blessed that I had them for all of there lives. They were all over 12 years old. I only have one left from my pack of 4 and he is 14. I feel sad for him because I know he has to miss them and wonder where they are. On a lighter note, I love watching your videos and I think I've watched all of the Angelina Jordan reactions. You have a great personality and you remind me so much of my PA at my doctors office. She has the same bright personality as you and is always smiling.
A not well known Adelle song that Angelina gave new life, one of my favorites of Angelina. I think one reason Angelina can give such emotion to this song it is around this time she started to see the sacrifices her family makes for her choice of wanting to be a singer, within the next year she writes her song "Shield" in which is written to her family and in it she sings "Forgive me for what I am". Even though Angelina is a very happy child and fun and funny. She has a sence of empathy that is extraodinary for her age. I am so sorry for your loss, I had a boxer growing up his name was Duke, they are great dogs.
Everyones bawling and she's like Bye!! WTH!!
Angelina is the best😍
Angelina 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This is my favorite of all her songs. Her voice is so emotional and hypnotic and she is so super cute, adorable. and sweet. Such a gift from God.
RIGHT? She WRENCHES your heartstrings, then says, "Bye m!" (*giggles)
This girl sings with her soul. Unbelievable

Absolutely beautiful
AJ has already proved with her covers that she is right up there with the very best singer's, she did that by 12yrs of age.
Her ability to sing each song in a way that makes it special is incredible. I have watched her since her Norway's Got Talent which she won at 7 years old and at 13 her poise and talent is unmatched
You will always have their memories and if you have pictures those two

A 12 year old girl that just wants to make everyone happy.!
Yes, she and Ivan s brilliant together, just a great chemistry.
Original was by Adele, guitar player was Ivan Mendez they are very good together
This song sounds so French in style.

To be so good is astounding, but to be so good at 12 years old is beyond comprehension!!
She rips your heart out, and then.............. Bye!! Giggle giggle.
amazing , isn't she ?
Beautiful...love the understanding between her and the guitarist they lay my heart bear...
😆😆💖💙🔥
Pueden ver el guitarrista disfrutandose a Angelina.
Ese guitarrista latino le pone el corazón a la música . Angelina como siempre ... Fantástica .

I am an old man who got teary eyes listening to this song the first time by Angelina.
.
Watch AJ react to each guitar chord like it's an electric shock to her system -- and then transfer that to us in her voice.
Adele just wishes she sing this song as well as Angelina. Angelina made this one hers.
Angelina has the best singing ability ever on this planet !!!!!!
The song is Adele original song but I have to say I like Angelina's cover more
I'm really really sorry I have to do this, but, duh! Hahahahahahaha
me too
Same combo bring you Stay and (if you want a real tear-jerker) You Were Always On My Mind.

I agree 100% with you. Her recording is probably in her room . Adele's is in a recording studio !!!!!!!! Sti I prefer Angelina's version.
For sure I totally agree 👍
Ivan Mendez on guitar, a very talented guy as well, he even has some covers of his own on youtube
Such a knitted brow, she gets to the Very core
I love watching your face melt... 🥴

Watch the guitarist face as she performs this song,it shows how we feel listening to this.Beautiful.
She can restore, her voice does that. Equally as good is Stay.
I like the way you put it, her voice can restore.
Where did she get that old soul. Beautiful.
Cuando interpreta una cancion pone todo su sentimiento y deja embwlezado al que la escucha.una interprete extaordinaria

This was the number one song in the world for 5 months, by Adele...
Hello beautiful humans! I love your reactions!!! Love always everybody especially when times are bad.❤
love this girl!!!

I wish my friends and family were closer too. Whoever wrote that, along with her delivery, slayed me. Peace and love sister.
One of my all time favorites and they are magic together Ivan is all into it! I always cry when i here it. Adele did her thing but I must say I feel it more when Angel sings it!
Love your sincere and deeply felt critique of Angelina Jordan’s version of A Million Years Ago! The original is pretty good also by Adel I like your honesty and how emotional you were really into song Keep your Eyes on The barefoot Princess
I love hear she sing this song. Her cover is much better than original. Is WONDERFUL.
Lady, I love your reactions. Your expressions says it all. Every grab I've the shoulders goes into it. Even your fingers when they are near your face
The gaps of time when i don't hear her voice it ALWAYS shocks me how low and rich her tone is and how stylized she can make her voice. So Talented.
This video is one of my favorites of Angelina Jordan..thanks
Angelinia said once in an interview that she goes into another world when she sings so she feels the emotions and when she is finished she is back to in present
GOD simply telling us to love each other , thank you Angelina love you .
Great review. She has a way to emote the intent within a song that just goes straight to the heart.,
Nice song..
Angelina. ....👏👏👏👏👏👏
Angelina Goosebumps® Jordan ☺❤
Exactly! 👏👏👍👍👌👌😁
First goosebumps, then tears. Who doesn't have regrets? This song hits hard.
A musical prodigy, Angelina Jordan sang for the first time at barely a year old, and she never stopped.
The Los Angeles-based 14-year-old singer and songwriter amplified her voice around the globe, racking up over half-a-billion UA-cam views, just shy of 2 billion Facebook views, and praise from Time, CNN, The BBC, and People. Along the way, she performed for world leaders at some of the most influential events in Europe, appeared on European and North American television, and quietly enraptured a growing fan base.

Hi, here she was just 12 years old, you should check one of the last cover All I Ask.
Igot goosebumps first
What this makes it even better , you see her looking to the side , she is reading the lyrics didn't now off by heart.
Sending you love and healing sister 🙏. LB.
GOOSE BUMPS IMMEDIATELY !!!! When Angelina does it well..... she knocks it out of the park! This gets a 10+

I completely understand about your doggie and I know how hard it is. I've lost 3 of my dogs since October of 2018. They were all around the same age and then when they get older and start having medical problems. 2 of them were just this year in January and then in March. The sadness does get better but there are days where it still overwhelms me and I cry because I miss them so much. I do feel blessed that I had them for all of there lives. They were all over 12 years old. I only have one left from my pack of 4 and he is 14. I feel sad for him because I know he has to miss them and wonder where they are.
On a lighter note, I love watching your videos and I think I've watched all of the Angelina Jordan reactions. You have a great personality and you remind me so much of my PA at my doctors office. She has the same bright personality as you and is always smiling.
She should have did the song on The voice or whatever program she was on. Great singer,
I think you have permanent goose bumps , you've been listening to too much good music .
Finally!!! We fans have been waiting for this.
You're a self proclamed Adelle favorite fan. How on earth didn't you know that was her song. Seriously Bizarre.
A not well known Adelle song that Angelina gave new life, one of my favorites of Angelina. I think one reason Angelina can give such emotion to this song it is around this time she started to see the sacrifices her family makes for her choice of wanting to be a singer, within the next year she writes her song "Shield" in which is written to her family and in it she sings "Forgive me for what I am". Even though Angelina is a very happy child and fun and funny. She has a sence of empathy that is extraodinary for her age. I am so sorry for your loss, I had a boxer growing up his name was Duke, they are great dogs.
