Thanks for a great reaction. You mentioned some things about this video no one else has. Being a retired dental assistant I like the beautiful smile Angelina has given you with this song. ❤ From Ontario
You said this was right in Angelina’s wheelhouse. You’re right-and you’re wrong. It’s just an example of the girl with a thousand voices hitting on all cylinders: vocally, musically, artistically, and even visually. She can do this in many different genres-turning the original song on its head, but openly respecting the music and the singer. Since you’re a jazz guy, you need to watch Angelina’s jazzy cover of Billie Jean. I liken it to Suspicious Minds or Bohemian Rhapsody where Angelina completely disassembles the original and gives us back a stunning take that makes us understand every nuance in the lyrics while she re-interprets the melody as only she can do. With minimalist accompaniment, there is no place for her voice to hide- and she delivers it, kills it while we listen and shake our heads at what she can do. You like scatting? More than any song I’ve heard from Angelina, I can’t imagine any other singer even attempting to cover what Angelina does with Michael Jackson’s iconic gem. Here’s the link: ua-cam.com/video/xp67k9wk2Mw/v-deo.htmlsi=pZKsjQFHBJPG5XzU
This year - sorry, last year - she produced two EPs that feature her current, mature style: Old Enough, and Driving Home for Christmas. That last one is actually from her online concert of 2021. She recently sang Unchained Melody at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony as you have never heard it before, complete with full orchestra. Great reaction.
Absolutely what I expected. She made this her own song and she did it beautifully. I noticed Angelina’s sister Juliet sitting there, she is going to be as beautiful as Angelina one day. Elvis' version is great, and it still is one of my favorites. but Angelina's version is equally great and is definitely her own. When I first heard this song I loved it and put it at #3 on my playlist (Angelina Jordan Playlist by Terry M.), about midday I moved it up to #1. The main thing that changed my mind was the power in her voice. I'm not talking about loudness I'm talking about the power she has regardless of how loud or soft she sings. This is a quality that I haven't heard from anyone in my 83 years. This voice has become so unique that it is totally unmatched. Her phrasing in the last bridge is great. And she got Elvis’s ‘Oh Yea’ at the end of the song. The pianist is Rob Christie (3 Grammys), he is the head of the Republic Record department that is responsible for Angelina and other singers. The two small kids are her uncle Mike's kids, and the older girl is Angelina's sister. If you haven’t already reacted to her latest studio version of Whitney Houston's version you should - here’s the link - ua-cam.com/video/iX0g99jN26U/v-deo.html 🙂
TRIVIA: Rob Christie, two time Grammy recipient, accompanies Angelina on the piano. Rob has accompanied Angelina on many occasions. The two youngest girls are her Uncle Mike Astar's children while the eldest girl is none other than her sibling, Juliette.
As said yesterday, good to have you back! Try Now I'm The Fool from her 2023 EP "Old Enough". She very much explores how many ways there are to pronounce the word "soul". It's also currently the only other song from that EP where a video is available. Also, she performed Unchained Melody at a Nobel Peace Prize event in early December, backed by an orchestra. Excelent! She covered a total of 13 songs from Adele, including "All I Ask" at age 14, "Easy on Me" and "Love Is A Game" at age 15, and also though only as quite short TikTok snippets "I Drink Wine" at 16, and "Love In The Dark" and "Set Fire To The Rain" last year at age 17. As you mentioned them, she also did "Rolling In The Deep" and "Skyfall" at age 7, but those sound somewhat rough... As I don't know if links will make it through, I'll try to provide them in a reply to this post.
You'll find "Now I Am The Fool" and "Unchained Melody" quite on top of this playlist of her fairly new songs: ua-cam.com/play/PLddfS789jBCqMgW5xQeK97nibjJCeDme5.html Here's playlist of her Adele Covers: ua-cam.com/play/PLddfS789jBCqSCMmFYfZ_RxtnwtEmN6zr.html
Thanks for your reaction! She is only 18 years old, and from Oslo in Norway. She signed with the label Republic Records just 14 years old, I think we can safely leave the promotion to Republic Record. Marketing will start when they are ready. Republic Records know 100% what they are doing? I think a lot of people don't realize how much Angelina has done in her short life She has recently performed at the Nobel Prize 2023, and also performed at the FIFA AWARD, also performed in front of 40 000 people only 11 years old invited by Norah Jones. She was also specially invited by Quincy Jones to perform on his 85th birthday in the O2 arena / London. And so on goes the list... She has over 250 songs on UA-cam with cover songs and many originals. Angelina also plays piano and guitar.Angelina, is the young legend! The truth is that within a year or two she will be the artist for the big occasions. and not a artist who tops a list for a week and is forgotten just as quickly. When she sometimes belts is it because the fits in the performances. She sings to us only she can do! Angelina recently had a sold-out concert in Portsmouth, New Hampshire., where there was an audience from many different country all the way from Australia and from 39 different states in the USA.
The baby and very little girl are Angelina's cousins - the preteen girl is Angelina's sister Juliette and the Piano Player is Rob Christie Director of the Republic Records Los Angeles Studio which is the record label that Angelina has been signed with since she was 14 years old.
Angelina can adapt her voice to almost any genre. Also, Angelina has been writing songs since she was 10 years old - So far 12 have been released: Oslo, What is Life?, Shield, Million Miles, 7th Heaven, Love Don't Let Me Go, Now I'm The Fool, Fire and Rain, All My Fault, Good in Goodbyes, Diamond, and Our Time. Angelina has stated that she has written about 100 songs that have yet to be released. Her songs are taken from her Journal writings. When she was 10/11 she rewrote the Lyrics to Amy Winehouse's Back to Black and Rehab to make them more age-appropriate at that time.
We had to dry the tears from her eyes at the summer final concert in Norway 2022, but tears of joy for all the most dedicated Fans from around the world loving her so much 💞 and she always tells us the same. Love you so much.. you made all possible ❤💓 Please react to her EP Old enough from last year.. now I am the fool and all my faults ✌️she showed a lot of deep minded sounds
Angelina is the most predictably unpredictably brilliant artist of her generation. Try her recent Nobel performance UNCHAINED MELODY.... you get to hear her beautiful falsetto. A rare treat. She always plays with different genre. Low register her Lana Del Ray songs BORN TO DIE, and YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL,
Everything is her wheel house so to speak. Pretty much any genre she attacks and subdues. She appears to really like Elvis and covers him so well. That said it is just one among many great songs. Same place similar time try "My Funny Valentine" it has probably the best vocals I have heard in my 70 years. Thanks for a nice reaction.
This is a masterpiece and I appreciate your analysis. I've been an Angel for 6+ years, watching all her available performances, and have yet to find her in a "wheelhouse" she couldn't dominate. I've seen a few professional voice coaches make the same remarks you made about her being in her "wheelhouse" and seldom are they referring to even the same genre. She can, and does, arrange songs to make space for whatever improvisations she wants to include. As you have noticed, she has done that from an early age. Her skills, at this point in her life, seem to be completely mastered. For a normal person, that assumption might be valid. I have been following her long enough to know, she has only just begun.
I’ve listened to this before and had a beautiful impression of the beginning as well. But until you pointed out that the footsteps were like a drumbeat -amazing-and I’m sure very intentional- as everything Angelina does is intentional. Beautiful rendition ❤
Thank you for your reaction and analysis. For me, Angelina is all about singing the story of the song. Every vocal choice adds to the story and the emotion the story was meant to convey. Angelina told us she has written over 100 songs and we have been blessed with 12 to date. Here is the list of her original songs. I recommend "Million Miles" and "Good in Goodbyes" but each one is worthy of a reaction. "What is Life" first sung at age 11. We don't know how old she was when she wrote each song. Age presented is her age when she first sang it. "Oslo" age 11 "Shield" age 12 "Million Miles" age 14 we know she wrote this one in the days after her maternal grandfather passed in 2019 when she was 13 "7th Heaven" age 15 "Love Don't Let Me Go" age 17 "Now I'm the Fool" age 17 "Fire and Rain" age 17 "It's All My Fault" age 17 "Good in Goodbyes" age 17 "Diamond" age 17 "Our Time" age 17 Should include songs for which she was the first to sing "I'm Still Holding Out for You" age 10 .... considered one of her best vocal performances by many "Song for A" age 12 "Above the Water" a EDM song released near her 14th birthday "We're the Best" sung with RedOne at the FIFA Awards Feburary 27, 2023
Here are links to Angelina’s first five originals… ‘What Is Life’: ua-cam.com/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/v-deo.html ‘Oslo’: ua-cam.com/video/R2HkKh_Cp8I/v-deo.html ‘Shield’ (Aksel Carlson, Ronny Janssen, Frida Amundsen): ua-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/v-deo.html ‘Million Miles’ (Tor Erik Hermansen, Mikkel Storleer Eriksen, Sophie Ann Elton): ua-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/v-deo.html ‘7th Heaven’ (Tor Erik Hermansen, Mikkel Storleer Eriksen): ua-cam.com/video/9rLiWvwzbCA/v-deo.html
Angelina and pianist Rob Christie collaborated on this arrangement and knocked it out of the park. The female vocal alphabet starts with four A's now: Aretha, Amy, Adele, and Angelina. Great reaction.
Please please start off 2024 as Angelina requests of us, and spread the love and kindness that all artists deserve.I suggest you always provide links to the original video and official channels in the description if you have not already done so. Most importantly, encourage viewers to use those links to watch, like, share, and comment. Your verbal encouragement will lead viewers to the artist's links as well as your valuable information, since most do not go to your descriptions on their own. You may also include links to the artists' social media and streaming services. Your likely goal may be for fans to read your description, as you provide valuable information on how to support your channel. Each artist provides so much joy to all of us, and reactors have a platform that can help boost both artist and reactor analytics on UA-cam. Thanks in advance for doing your part. Peace and love.
For more information on Angelina’s history, see Angelina Jordan’s Wikipedia Page - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelina_Jordan Below is a list of my recommendations for doing reactions to Angelina Jordan. 1. For the initial shock you should start with ‘I Put A Spell On You’ She was 9 years old when she did this. The link for this song is - ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html 2. The next song you should react to is an Elvis cover ‘Suspicious Minds’ - ua-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/v-deo.html - this will show you how her voice and presence has developed. 3. To follow her growth react to the following songs in order: At age 6 - ‘I Who Have Nothing’ her first time in a studio - ua-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/v-deo.html At age 7 - 8; Norway's Got Talent - ua-cam.com/video/d3gSho9yf88/v-deo.html At age 8 ‘What A Difference A Day Makes’ -ua-cam.com/video/ZSfgCIGd7k4/v-deo.html At age 10 ‘Feeling Good’ - ua-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/v-deo.html At age 11 ‘I’m A Fool To Want You’ - ua-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/v-deo.html She also did this during Norway’s Got Talent, but she did it A Capella. At age 12 There are two songs of note here: ‘Shield’ which is one of her originals - ua-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/v-deo.html She was invited to perform at Quincy Jones’ 85th birthday in London she sang what is sort of her anthem (she has sung throughout the years many times). This is the rehearsal for the show but it is excellent - ua-cam.com/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/v-deo.html At Age 13 she performed two songs on America’s Got Talent - and one other song of note - ‘I Have Nothing’ is a tribute to Whitney Houston - ua-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/v-deo.html On AGT ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ for which she got the Golden Buzzer - ua-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/v-deo.html On AGT ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’ in the finals - ua-cam.com/video/4XOMskgN8w4/v-deo.html - but she didn’t win. A lot of people are upset about that, but I think it’s the best thing that happened to her. At Age 16 she has three new covers. The newest and the best is an Elvis cover ‘Suspicious Minds’ - ua-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/v-deo.html She has released a new version of I Have Nothing - ua-cam.com/video/iX0g99jN26U/v-deo.html - which is probably the best song she has done so far. The other is ‘My Funny Valentine - ua-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/v-deo.html Angelina dropped her latest song on May 5th 2023 it is the first song off her new album which will be out soon. The name of the song is ‘Love Don’t Let Me Go’ - ua-cam.com/video/1U6WY_z8Vu8/v-deo.html - She wrote the song and in an interview said that all of the songs on the new album will be songs she wrote and had a major part in their arrangements. She has done several Adel covers and one other song of note - ‘Million Miles’ - ua-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/v-deo.html - this is an original that she wrote in honor of her grandfather after he passed away. It is also the first song released under her contract with Republic Records. Rusty Shackelford has a UA-cam playlist that includes all of her videos, including TikTok and Instagram. I have a playlist of Angelina's videos which has over 200,000 views (Angelina Jordan Playlist by Terry M.)
The pianist Rob Christie (music studio director of Republic Records distribution of UMG, two-time Grammy winner) changed the musical arrangement and Angelina changed the vocal arrangement, but she didn't change the lyrics. Angelina changes the lyrical structure starting with the bridge and gives the song a different meaning than Felton Jarvis and Mark James , Angelina version absolutely fits the lyric better. Once again, many people don't hear and understand the song until Angelina tells the story. 👣 💯 *AJ* 💯👣 The producer Felton Jarvis from Elvis Presley cleverly covered this *Mark James song from 1968 in 1969* , Elvis' last #1 hit in the US and #7 of his most successful songs. Felton Jarvis took the original country arrangement completely from Mark James and pushed the song with more speed and additional instruments (wind instruments, violin etc.) and a spectacular backing choir (in the studio version).
I like you used the word rendition instead of cover. Even Elivs made a rendition of this which he wasn't the first to performe. By the way Happy New Year in this crazy world!
Very interesting analysis/reaction, thanks. From the very first words, the warmth, tone, passion and sweetness that Angelina manages to instill in this mythical song are truly incredible, you just wish the song was much longer. Her phrasing, backed by her wonderful use of breath and her peculiar jazz tone, always fascinates me and gives me chills every time, I love this absolutely amazing, so personal rewrite of this iconic song, with so many Elvis tribute details. Now it's a different song, but it's also the same, it still has that harmony, but somehow (in a way only Angelina can process) it's even more emotional, it's slower, but it's so close to your soul flow that kidnaps you. 💛🧡❤
Shawka Reacts - Thanks for your reaction and insightful comments. Appreciated. Now that you're catching up to Angelina's more recent recordings - go for the Brass Ring with her original song, "Now I'm The Fool". Link: ua-cam.com/video/8BXCVY_-RmU/v-deo.htmlsi=ItREsLaHS5obVsRT Both she and the song are quite animated. Enjoy, Jim
Loved your reaction and analysis, thanks so much for sharing! Her cover of 'Michael Jackson - Billie Jean', and 'Adele - All I ask' are 2 of her most masterful vocal performances. Seing how much you enjoyed this one, im conviced you will enjoy the ones I mentioned. Thanks again and see you in the next one!
Check out her version of "My Funny Valentine": ua-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/v-deo.html It, and this song were at the time they were done, my favorites. Then she released her EP "Old Enough" and every song is fire. This coming from a 69 year old fan that has been following her for over 7 years.
At 16. Released June 22, 2022. By August, 2023, 4.6 Million views on UA-cam alone. Angelina starts off with the bridge, completely different from anyone else; and then, begins with the opening line of the song. Her beehive hairdo, is in the homage to Priscilla.😇🌺Many photographs of her hair exactly like that. And a leather outfit he later wore. The guitar is the Elvis 1968 "Comeback" Guitar. Rob Christie actually owns this one. The two young cousins, are Uncle/Manager Michael's children. The young girl is her sister, Juliette. Angelina had a framed photo of Elvis in the Service, at the location. Such respect. Rob Christie is on the piano. (Currently Republic Records award winning Studio Director) Angelina is both Director & Producer on this!
Thank you for your reaction. There are covers of "All I ask", Easy on me", "You Say", " Unchained Melody ", How Great Thou Art", "It's a Man's World", "Lovi'n You", "Born to Die" , "Wicked Game" and many more. Also " I have nothing" and "My funny Valentine".
When listening to any cover of this song by Mark James, only one question needs to be asked: which artist, read and understood the emotional content within the lyrics and conveyed those emotions to the listener? In my book, only one has done so - Angelina Jordan.
Hi Man 👋I am now a new subscriber to your channel and a true loyal Big, Big Angelina (Fan) Angel 😇! Angelina calls us all her angels 😇not (fans) that is special and unique!! Here is an analysis from me about Angelina, our untouchable! phenomenal! breathtaking! old souls ✨️Voice, and your riffs, runs, and melismas! singing 😲 angel 😇Angelina!!

Thanks for an absolutely excellent reaction. About time you catch up with her more recent performances and well😉. She was 16,5 in this one. She will turn 18 in 9 days, on January 10th. I would love if you could react to her most recent performance from December 11th 2023. She performed"Unchained Melody" at the Nobel Peace Prize concert here in Norway. In it she shows us both ends of her vocal range, but in the most respectful way possible. I know you will absolutely love to hear it. If you react to it, I suggest you go with the video on Boris Palenovski's channel 😊. I wish you and yours a very Happy New Year. Much love from Norway 🇸🇯❤️❤️❤️❤️

Freedom 💁♂️! and lovely friends! And I wish you a happy 😀 New Year 2024🥂 from the bottom of my heart ❤️🔥👍👌👏 Bye my fellow Angelina Angel 😇👋🇨🇭🙋♂️!!
That was a very good reaction and analysis! Angelina has done quite a few Elvis songs over the years, this being certainly the best of them. Apart from the incredible vocals and arrangement, the production honours Elvis with the black leather and guitar used in the 1968 comeback, the hair style like Pricilla Presley. To really appreciate her rendition, you would need to be at a live concert - I was there on July 10th 2022, in Norway. This song was part of a three song bonus at the end, emotions were running high in the audience and on the stage, happy tears had been running down her face, she really felt the song, so did all of us in the audience.... Yes try the Whitney song, she first sang a Whitney song at the ripe old age of 18 months... ua-cam.com/video/iX0g99jN26U/v-deo.html
Awesome reaction and if you react to "Unchained Melody", please go to James Theil's Channel, Nobel Piece Prize tribute. For 3 reasons I recommend this, 1st Understanding who received it and why and what she is currently enduring. 2nd, the story behind. the song, explaining why Angelina the Genius she is, chose this song. 3rd and last reason, you will even feel the emotion more knowing all the fore mentioned above. It also explains why she has sang it at 3 of her previous events, perfecting how she was going to perform this Iconic song. A true Master Piece, God Bless!
Hi there .. here some treats for you .. Angelina Jordan recording in studio (Sky Fall) - ua-cam.com/video/Oc50HiItEu0/v-deo.html ..

🌟🌟🌟Another great performance that I couldn't find in your lineup was of 10yo Angelina singing "Feeling Good" before a large televised audience. I recommend jumping back to this one, as it gives a good grounding to her vocal technique and power. She's accompanied by a an orchestra with a solid showing of strings and horns. (Link Below) FEELING GOOD, Angelina Jordan (10yo), TV2 Stream Gir Talkbake ua-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/v-deo.htmlsi=z4K7FtsEAztkI5GW
Hands down..best reaction to one of my absolute favorite covers Angelina has done..and I'm a true fan.. addicted to her beautiful voice and soul. She even has Priscilla Presley's hairstyle. Wow! Captured the true meaning of Elvis's elongated song in such a brief version. Absolutely topnotch creative genius! I've watched this probably a hundred times and so far ❤ your reaction the most!
The open lines get me every time, just phenomenal , she seriously is getting better ( hard to believe after this ) but when you hear her Nobel Peace Prize performance of Unchained Melody, it is specular and cements the belief she is the best vocalist ever!
Another reactor had to stop during the song after the word "me" and asked how many nuances doe she put on a one syllable, two letter word? Let's count. Turns out it was nine.
I note that @most2dot0 has commented below. His UA-cam channel has playlists of all of Angelina's performances, sorted by every imaginable category you could wish for. I highly recommend that you consider using it SS your source for future reactions to her. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/channels/i5KsOINVI57pk8zbxFWyFQ.html
I highly recommend that you do ten year old and then sixteen year old Angelina’s covers of “My Funny Valentine”. The sixteen year old version was videoed in the same sofa and chairs shop this video was taken in. Both versions are just breath taking.
Angelina has over 140 covers starting at the age of 7 to. 17 of today however January 10, 2024 she will be 18. Her parents had her wait til 18 & or after graduating. She is with Republic Records and will probably take off🌀
Thank you for returning to Angelina. Your reactions to her performances are always worth watching. My only disappointment is that you don't react to her as often as I could wish. 🙂 The song was written by Mark James, an American singer/songwriter, who recorded it the year it was written. The best known version, however, was that done by Elvis Presley. It was his last No 1 song. In the Wikipedia entry of the origins of the song, Mark James is said to have remarked "That late one night, he was fooling around on his Fender guitar and using his Hammond organ pedals for a bass line and came up with what he thought was a catchy melody. At the time, he was married to his first wife but still had feelings for his childhood sweetheart, who was married back in Houston. James's wife had suspicions about his feelings. He felt it was a confusing time for him and that all three were "caught in this trap that they could not walk out of." Other singers covering this song invariably base their performance on that of Elvis, in that it is very "upbeat". Angelina took a very different path in that she read and understood the lyrics and what Mark James intended when writing them. To my mind, her rendition is much truer to the emotions of the song. The children appearing in the video were Angelina's cousins Aires (first) and then Athena - daughters of her uncle Michael Astar, and then her sister Juliette. I would hazard a guess that they were included to emphasise that children are very important to Angelina and her family. Confession! I have never been a great fan of Elvis Presley, although I do like some of his earlier recordings, and I had never heard of the song "Suspicious minds" but knew that Angelina would completely take ownership of it, and she did. It was beautiful. After listening to it several times, I decided to download the lyrics to see whether she kept to the original structure. She didn't, and the song is all the better for it. For me, that she started with the Bridge of the song is very significant and, I feel, very indicative of Angelina's "up front" transparency. She was declaring that it was important that their love did not die, and then carries on to say why she feels as she does. Others first say how they feel and then, almost as an afterthought, assure their love they don't want it to end. For me, it is whether I feel the singer is genuine about the situation and wishes it could be resolved or whether the singer understands the situation but thinks the blame is on her/his partner but feels the need to assure them they don't want it to end (until somebody else comes along).
@@103mrg Thank you for the gentle reminder. I should have remembered, as someone pointed this out to me quite some time ago, and I forgot to make the amendment. Sackcloth and ashes is my garb for the remainder OD the week. 😀
angelina was singing RITD at 5 and skyfall at 6...she has covered @8 adele songs and she is actually better than adele no slight to adele...A J is the GOAT...
about those footsteps, if you tap your foot to the footsteps they will be right on beat when the music starts. Also, I've heard that she can play either 4 or 5 instruments.
Sir, her rendition of "My funny valentine" in the same shop is WOW: ua-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/v-deo.html She, so it seems, was scouting out this vintage store for the two other videos, Suspicious minds and I have nothing. I am quiet sure you will enjoy both videos. In summer of 2022 she visited her home country for a number of concerts. I strongly recommend her concerts in Kurbadhagen (It means Garden of the Spa in Norwegian). You won´t regret it. She was so happy to sing again, especially to her friends, after Covid, she cried. Sir, be safe, have a pleasant year. Elmar from Germany
Its a bit older from age 13 but still one of my favs, really makes the broad quality of her voice shine - Million years ago: ua-cam.com/video/QHLtZQ3sIwE/v-deo.html
this is not a elvis presley song. he has done a cover too. the original is from mark james and he was not that successful as elvis was. we have to give him the same respect for this song. in my opinion angelina give's this song a new meaning for the new/next generation
You may want to just stick with AJ covering Adele. She has quite often and very well. 'Million Years' & 'Easy on Me' are popular ones that explore passion and range of emotion. Here's a few she's done over the years "A Million Years Ago" (home, impromptu, 12) ua-cam.com/video/QHLtZQ3sIwE/v-deo.htmlsi=SCWa573mYEzbtlrn "When We Were Young" (jazz fest, 13) ua-cam.com/video/aHGSsqQOs5I/v-deo.htmlsi=MT7Ciyf3bxQR9VAYua-cam.com/video/aHGSsqQOs5I/v-deo.htmlsi=MT7Ciyf3bxQR9VAY "Someone Like You" (home studio, 13) ua-cam.com/video/nU9TA70fXro/v-deo.htmlsi=mzY6p-YvrntpPlnG "All I Ask" (studio, 15) ua-cam.com/video/8gJuprckBxI/v-deo.htmlsi=ZUwx-N9duUN2xMAo "Easy on Me" (studio, 15) ua-cam.com/video/Mpw5Q76hWWE/v-deo.htmlsi=-7G9NDshcBq3dpbw "Love is a Game" (TikTok, home, 16) ua-cam.com/video/PXbYrvP3v4I/v-deo.htmlsi=ybu64HrNzDPTagZz "When We Were Young" (abbrev rehersal, 17). ua-cam.com/video/qEnGHQg5S10/v-deo.htmlsi=HG1GnYud7-e4mPSc
Thanks for a great reaction. You mentioned some things about this video no one else has. Being a retired dental assistant I like the beautiful smile Angelina has given you with this song. ❤ From Ontario
Angelina doesn't cover songs - she uncovers them, delivering their essence to heart! 🤩👣🔥🧡🙌❣️
You said this was right in Angelina’s wheelhouse. You’re right-and you’re wrong. It’s just an example of the girl with a thousand voices hitting on all cylinders: vocally, musically, artistically, and even visually. She can do this in many different genres-turning the original song on its head, but openly respecting the music and the singer.
Since you’re a jazz guy, you need to watch Angelina’s jazzy cover of Billie Jean. I liken it to Suspicious Minds or Bohemian Rhapsody where Angelina completely disassembles the original and gives us back a stunning take that makes us understand every nuance in the lyrics while she re-interprets the melody as only she can do. With minimalist accompaniment, there is no place for her voice to hide- and she delivers it, kills it while we listen and shake our heads at what she can do. You like scatting? More than any song I’ve heard from Angelina, I can’t imagine any other singer even attempting to cover what Angelina does with Michael Jackson’s iconic gem. Here’s the link: ua-cam.com/video/xp67k9wk2Mw/v-deo.htmlsi=pZKsjQFHBJPG5XzU
Oh yes!
This year - sorry, last year - she produced two EPs that feature her current, mature style: Old Enough, and Driving Home for Christmas. That last one is actually from her online concert of 2021. She recently sang Unchained Melody at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony as you have never heard it before, complete with full orchestra. Great reaction.
Absolutely what I expected. She made this her own song and she did it beautifully. I noticed Angelina’s sister Juliet sitting there, she is going to be as beautiful as Angelina one day.
Elvis' version is great, and it still is one of my favorites. but Angelina's version is equally great and is definitely her own.
When I first heard this song I loved it and put it at #3 on my playlist (Angelina Jordan Playlist by Terry M.), about midday I moved it up to #1. The main thing that changed my mind was the power in her voice. I'm not talking about loudness I'm talking about the power she has regardless of how loud or soft she sings. This is a quality that I haven't heard from anyone in my 83 years. This voice has become so unique that it is totally unmatched.
Her phrasing in the last bridge is great. And she got Elvis’s ‘Oh Yea’ at the end of the song.
The pianist is Rob Christie (3 Grammys), he is the head of the Republic Record department that is responsible for Angelina and other singers.
The two small kids are her uncle Mike's kids, and the older girl is Angelina's sister.
If you haven’t already reacted to her latest studio version of Whitney Houston's version you should - here’s the link - ua-cam.com/video/iX0g99jN26U/v-deo.html

TRIVIA:
Rob Christie, two time Grammy recipient, accompanies Angelina on the piano. Rob has accompanied Angelina on many occasions.
The two youngest girls are her Uncle Mike Astar's children while the eldest girl is none other than her sibling, Juliette.
As said yesterday, good to have you back!
Try Now I'm The Fool from her 2023 EP "Old Enough". She very much explores how many ways there are to pronounce the word "soul". It's also currently the only other song from that EP where a video is available.
Also, she performed Unchained Melody at a Nobel Peace Prize event in early December, backed by an orchestra. Excelent!
She covered a total of 13 songs from Adele, including "All I Ask" at age 14, "Easy on Me" and "Love Is A Game" at age 15, and also though only as quite short TikTok snippets "I Drink Wine" at 16, and "Love In The Dark" and "Set Fire To The Rain" last year at age 17.
As you mentioned them, she also did "Rolling In The Deep" and "Skyfall" at age 7, but those sound somewhat rough...
As I don't know if links will make it through, I'll try to provide them in a reply to this post.
You'll find "Now I Am The Fool" and "Unchained Melody" quite on top of this playlist of her fairly new songs: ua-cam.com/play/PLddfS789jBCqMgW5xQeK97nibjJCeDme5.html
Here's playlist of her Adele Covers: ua-cam.com/play/PLddfS789jBCqSCMmFYfZ_RxtnwtEmN6zr.html
All her Adele covers are incredible, Easy on me and All i ask to name two 👍
Thanks for your reaction! She is only 18 years old, and from Oslo in Norway. She signed with the label Republic Records just 14 years old, I think we can safely leave the promotion to Republic Record. Marketing will start when they are ready. Republic Records know 100% what they are doing?
I think a lot of people don't realize how much Angelina has done in her short life She has recently performed at the Nobel Prize 2023, and also performed at the FIFA AWARD, also performed in front of 40 000 people only 11 years old invited by Norah Jones.
She was also specially invited by Quincy Jones to perform on his 85th birthday in the O2 arena / London. And so on goes the list... She has over 250 songs on UA-cam with cover songs and many originals. Angelina also plays piano and guitar.Angelina, is the young legend! The truth is that within a year or two she will be the artist for the big occasions. and not a artist who tops a list for a week and is forgotten just as quickly. When she sometimes belts is it because the fits in the performances. She sings to us only she can do!
Angelina recently had a sold-out concert in Portsmouth, New Hampshire., where there was an audience from many different country all the way from Australia and from 39 different states in the USA.
you totally got the beauty in this rendition
2 times Grammy Award winner Rob Christie on piano, Angelina on vocals. Who could ask for more?🔥🇨🇦😇
The baby and very little girl are Angelina's cousins - the preteen girl is Angelina's sister Juliette and the Piano Player is Rob Christie Director of the Republic Records Los Angeles Studio which is the record label that Angelina has been signed with since she was 14 years old.
Angelina can adapt her voice to almost any genre. Also, Angelina has been writing songs since she was 10 years old - So far 12 have been released: Oslo, What is Life?, Shield, Million Miles, 7th Heaven, Love Don't Let Me Go, Now I'm The Fool, Fire and Rain, All My Fault, Good in Goodbyes, Diamond, and Our Time. Angelina has stated that she has written about 100 songs that have yet to be released. Her songs are taken from her Journal writings. When she was 10/11 she rewrote the Lyrics to Amy Winehouse's Back to Black and Rehab to make them more age-appropriate at that time.
We had to dry the tears from her eyes at the summer final concert in Norway 2022, but tears of joy for all the most dedicated Fans from around the world loving her so much 💞 and she always tells us the same. Love you so much.. you made all possible ❤💓
Please react to her EP Old enough from last year.. now I am the fool and all my faults ✌️she showed a lot of deep minded sounds
The warmest most solid placement of an opening phrase ive ever heard.
Angelina is the most predictably unpredictably brilliant artist of her generation. Try her recent Nobel performance UNCHAINED MELODY.... you get to hear her beautiful falsetto. A rare treat. She always plays with different genre. Low register her Lana Del Ray songs BORN TO DIE, and YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL,
Everything is her wheel house so to speak. Pretty much any genre she attacks and subdues. She appears to really like Elvis and covers him so well. That said it is just one among many great songs. Same place similar time try "My Funny Valentine" it has probably the best vocals I have heard in my 70 years. Thanks for a nice reaction.
This is a masterpiece and I appreciate your analysis. I've been an Angel for 6+ years, watching all her available performances, and have yet to find her in a "wheelhouse" she couldn't dominate. I've seen a few professional voice coaches make the same remarks you made about her being in her "wheelhouse" and seldom are they referring to even the same genre. She can, and does, arrange songs to make space for whatever improvisations she wants to include. As you have noticed, she has done that from an early age. Her skills, at this point in her life, seem to be completely mastered. For a normal person, that assumption might be valid. I have been following her long enough to know, she has only just begun.
Angelina sings everything with unmatched sincerety.
......and TOTAL conviction.
I’ve listened to this before and had a beautiful impression of the beginning as well. But until you pointed out that the footsteps were like a drumbeat -amazing-and I’m sure very intentional- as everything Angelina does is intentional. Beautiful rendition ❤
Thank you for your reaction and analysis. For me, Angelina is all about singing the story of the song. Every vocal choice adds to the story and the emotion the story was meant to convey. Angelina told us she has written over 100 songs and we have been blessed with 12 to date.
Here is the list of her original songs. I recommend "Million Miles" and "Good in Goodbyes" but each one is worthy of a reaction.
"What is Life" first sung at age 11. We don't know how old she was when she wrote each song. Age presented is her age when she first sang it.
"Oslo" age 11
"Shield" age 12
"Million Miles" age 14 we know she wrote this one in the days after her maternal grandfather passed in 2019 when she was 13
"7th Heaven" age 15
"Love Don't Let Me Go" age 17
"Now I'm the Fool" age 17
"Fire and Rain" age 17
"It's All My Fault" age 17
"Good in Goodbyes" age 17
"Diamond" age 17
"Our Time" age 17
Should include songs for which she was the first to sing
"I'm Still Holding Out for You" age 10 .... considered one of her best vocal performances by many
"Song for A" age 12
"Above the Water" a EDM song released near her 14th birthday
"We're the Best" sung with RedOne at the FIFA Awards Feburary 27, 2023

@@dojoswitzer Thanks Douglas
Full Vocal Dynamics in motion....
Angelina and pianist Rob Christie collaborated on this arrangement and knocked it out of the park. The female vocal alphabet starts with four A's now: Aretha, Amy, Adele, and Angelina. Great reaction.
Thanks 🙏
The sountrack of my life: Elvis and AJ !!!
Please please start off 2024 as Angelina requests of us, and spread the love and kindness that all artists deserve.I suggest you always provide links to the original video and official channels in the description if you have not already done so. Most importantly, encourage viewers to use those links to watch, like, share, and comment. Your verbal encouragement will lead viewers to the artist's links as well as your valuable information, since most do not go to your descriptions on their own. You may also include links to the artists' social media and streaming services. Your likely goal may be for fans to read your description, as you provide valuable information on how to support your channel. Each artist provides so much joy to all of us, and reactors have a platform that can help boost both artist and reactor analytics on UA-cam. Thanks in advance for doing your part. Peace and love.
Adore this Artist. Her Adele covers, Million Years Ago and All I Ask are a couple of my favorites, as well as any of her Originals. Thanks
For more information on Angelina’s history, see Angelina Jordan’s Wikipedia Page - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelina_Jordan
Below is a list of my recommendations for doing reactions to Angelina Jordan.
1. For the initial shock you should start with ‘I Put A Spell On You’ She was 9 years old when she did this. The link for this song is - ua-cam.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/v-deo.html
2. The next song you should react to is an Elvis cover ‘Suspicious Minds’ - ua-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/v-deo.html - this will show you how her voice and presence has developed.
3. To follow her growth react to the following songs in order:
At age 6 - ‘I Who Have Nothing’ her first time in a studio - ua-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/v-deo.html
At age 7 - 8; Norway's Got Talent - ua-cam.com/video/d3gSho9yf88/v-deo.html
At age 8 ‘What A Difference A Day Makes’ -ua-cam.com/video/ZSfgCIGd7k4/v-deo.html
At age 10 ‘Feeling Good’ - ua-cam.com/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/v-deo.html
At age 11 ‘I’m A Fool To Want You’ - ua-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/v-deo.html She also did this during Norway’s Got Talent, but she did it A Capella.
At age 12 There are two songs of note here:
‘Shield’ which is one of her originals - ua-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/v-deo.html
She was invited to perform at Quincy Jones’ 85th birthday in London she sang what is sort of her anthem (she has sung throughout the years many times). This is the rehearsal for the show but it is excellent - ua-cam.com/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/v-deo.html
At Age 13 she performed two songs on America’s Got Talent - and one other song of note -
‘I Have Nothing’ is a tribute to Whitney Houston - ua-cam.com/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/v-deo.html
On AGT ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ for which she got the Golden Buzzer - ua-cam.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/v-deo.html
On AGT ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’ in the finals - ua-cam.com/video/4XOMskgN8w4/v-deo.html - but she didn’t win. A lot of people are upset about that, but I think it’s the best thing that happened to her.
At Age 16 she has three new covers.
The newest and the best is an Elvis cover ‘Suspicious Minds’ - ua-cam.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/v-deo.html
She has released a new version of I Have Nothing - ua-cam.com/video/iX0g99jN26U/v-deo.html - which is probably the best song she has done so far.
The other is ‘My Funny Valentine - ua-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/v-deo.html
Angelina dropped her latest song on May 5th 2023 it is the first song off her new album which will be out soon. The name of the song is ‘Love Don’t Let Me Go’ - ua-cam.com/video/1U6WY_z8Vu8/v-deo.html - She wrote the song and in an interview said that all of the songs on the new album will be songs she wrote and had a major part in their arrangements.
She has done several Adel covers and one other song of note - ‘Million Miles’ - ua-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/v-deo.html - this is an original that she wrote in honor of her grandfather after he passed away. It is also the first song released under her contract with Republic Records.
Rusty Shackelford has a UA-cam playlist that includes all of her videos, including TikTok and Instagram. I have a playlist of Angelina's videos which has over 200,000 views (Angelina Jordan Playlist by Terry M.)
I think this version is catching the essence of the lyrics ❤️ Its stunning and emotional ❤️ And that powerful start is awesome 👍
"Unchained Melody" ... the word 'time' could not be sung more beautifully than in her latest version at the recent Nobel Peace Prise ceremony.
This is a masterpiece by her! She’s a storyteller with that magical voice! Stunning! Thank you for a great reaction!👌💫💎❤️
My pleasure!!
Angelina just moves some lyrics around, changes the tempo and tells a story the way Elvis should have done it all those years ago.Thx great reaction.
The pianist Rob Christie (music studio director of Republic Records distribution of UMG, two-time Grammy winner) changed the musical arrangement and Angelina changed the vocal arrangement, but she didn't change the lyrics. Angelina changes the lyrical structure starting with the bridge and gives the song a different meaning than Felton Jarvis and Mark James , Angelina version absolutely fits the lyric better. Once again, many people don't hear and understand the song until Angelina tells the story. 👣 💯 *AJ* 💯👣
The producer Felton Jarvis from Elvis Presley cleverly covered this *Mark James song from 1968 in 1969* , Elvis' last #1 hit in the US and #7 of his most successful songs. Felton Jarvis took the original country arrangement completely from Mark James and pushed the song with more speed and additional instruments (wind instruments, violin etc.) and a spectacular backing choir (in the studio version).
Very interesting!
Any songs from her Christmas EP will feature that "sultry" timbre.
I like you used the word rendition instead of cover. Even Elivs made a rendition of this which he wasn't the first to performe. By the way Happy New Year in this crazy world!
Same to you!
Very interesting analysis/reaction, thanks. From the very first words, the warmth, tone, passion and sweetness that Angelina manages to instill in this mythical song are truly incredible, you just wish the song was much longer. Her phrasing, backed by her wonderful use of breath and her peculiar jazz tone, always fascinates me and gives me chills every time, I love this absolutely amazing, so personal rewrite of this iconic song, with so many Elvis tribute details. Now it's a different song, but it's also the same, it still has that harmony, but somehow (in a way only Angelina can process) it's even more emotional, it's slower, but it's so close to your soul flow that kidnaps you. 💛🧡❤
Shawka Reacts - Thanks for your reaction and insightful comments. Appreciated. Now that you're catching up to Angelina's more recent recordings - go for the Brass Ring with her original song, "Now I'm The Fool".
Link: ua-cam.com/video/8BXCVY_-RmU/v-deo.htmlsi=ItREsLaHS5obVsRT
Both she and the song are quite animated. Enjoy, Jim
Love your analysis . If you want to hear AJ low register listen to her sing How Great Thou Art. That's why she is known to have a thousand voices.
Thanks for the reaction to our angel Angelina..she’s simply the best…👍👏
Loved your reaction and analysis, thanks so much for sharing!
Her cover of 'Michael Jackson - Billie Jean', and 'Adele - All I ask' are 2 of her most masterful vocal performances. Seing how much you enjoyed this one, im conviced you will enjoy the ones I mentioned. Thanks again and see you in the next one!
Check out her version of "My Funny Valentine": ua-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/v-deo.html
It, and this song were at the time they were done, my favorites. Then she released her EP "Old Enough" and every song is fire.
This coming from a 69 year old fan that has been following her for over 7 years.
Angelina has performed several Adele covers. Here she is doing Easy on Me at age 15: ua-cam.com/video/Mpw5Q76hWWE/v-deo.html
At 16. Released June 22, 2022. By August, 2023, 4.6 Million views on UA-cam alone. Angelina starts off with the bridge, completely different from anyone else; and then, begins with the opening line of the song. Her beehive hairdo, is in the homage to Priscilla.😇🌺Many photographs of her hair exactly like that. And a leather outfit he later wore. The guitar is the Elvis 1968 "Comeback" Guitar. Rob Christie actually owns this one. The two young cousins, are Uncle/Manager Michael's children. The young girl is her sister, Juliette. Angelina had a framed photo of Elvis in the Service, at the location. Such respect. Rob Christie is on the piano. (Currently Republic Records award winning Studio Director) Angelina is both Director & Producer on this!
Thank you for your reaction. There are covers of "All I ask", Easy on me", "You Say", " Unchained Melody ", How Great Thou Art", "It's a Man's World", "Lovi'n You", "Born to Die" , "Wicked Game" and many more. Also " I have nothing" and "My funny Valentine".
When listening to any cover of this song by Mark James, only one question needs to be asked: which artist, read and understood the emotional content within the lyrics and conveyed those emotions to the listener? In my book, only one has done so - Angelina Jordan.
Hi Man 👋I am now a new subscriber to your channel and a true loyal Big, Big Angelina (Fan) Angel 😇! Angelina calls us all her angels 😇not (fans) that is special and unique!!

What are scoops, melismas, riffs, and runs! "Scoops" are fast sliding notes that create a stylistic effect! On "Melismas" 😲 AJ sings a single 🎶 syllable of the lyrics! while moving multiple notes 🎼 at the same time! Both techniques give the song more expressiveness and flair!! Riffs are 2-3 quickly sung 😲 notes! and Runs are notes that you sing out for longer 😲!

Thanks for an absolutely excellent reaction. About time you catch up with her more recent performances and well😉. She was 16,5 in this one. She will turn 18 in 9 days, on January 10th.
I would love if you could react to her most recent performance from December 11th 2023. She performed"Unchained Melody" at the Nobel Peace Prize concert here in Norway. In it she shows us both ends of her vocal range, but in the most respectful way possible. I know you will absolutely love to hear it. If you react to it, I suggest you go with the video on Boris Palenovski's channel 😊. I wish you and yours a very Happy New Year. Much love from Norway 🇸🇯❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much. Same to you!

That was a very good reaction and analysis!
Angelina has done quite a few Elvis songs over the years, this being certainly the best of them. Apart from the incredible vocals and arrangement, the production honours Elvis with the black leather and guitar used in the 1968 comeback, the hair style like Pricilla Presley.
To really appreciate her rendition, you would need to be at a live concert - I was there on July 10th 2022, in Norway. This song was part of a three song bonus at the end, emotions were running high in the audience and on the stage, happy tears had been running down her face, she really felt the song, so did all of us in the audience....
Yes try the Whitney song, she first sang a Whitney song at the ripe old age of 18 months... ua-cam.com/video/iX0g99jN26U/v-deo.html
Awesome reaction and if you react to "Unchained Melody", please go to James Theil's Channel, Nobel Piece Prize tribute. For 3 reasons I recommend this, 1st Understanding who received it and why and what she is currently enduring. 2nd, the story behind. the song, explaining why Angelina the Genius she is, chose this song. 3rd and last reason, you will even feel the emotion more knowing all the fore mentioned above. It also explains why she has sang it at 3 of her previous events, perfecting how she was going to perform this Iconic song. A true Master Piece, God Bless!

Youve got a new sub. Great analysis and reaction 👍
Awesome thank you!
And me!
🌟🌟🌟Another great performance that I couldn't find in your lineup was of 10yo Angelina singing "Feeling Good" before a large televised audience. I recommend jumping back to this one, as it gives a good grounding to her vocal technique and power. She's accompanied by a an orchestra with a solid showing of strings and horns.

Hands down..best reaction to one of my absolute favorite covers Angelina has done..and I'm a true fan.. addicted to her beautiful voice and soul. She even has Priscilla Presley's hairstyle. Wow! Captured the true meaning of Elvis's elongated song in such a brief version. Absolutely topnotch creative genius! I've watched this probably a hundred times and so far ❤ your reaction the most!
Thank you!
The open lines get me every time, just phenomenal , she seriously is getting better ( hard to believe after this ) but when you hear her Nobel Peace Prize performance of Unchained Melody, it is specular and cements the belief she is the best vocalist ever!
Another reactor had to stop during the song after the word "me" and asked how many nuances doe she put on a one syllable, two letter word? Let's count. Turns out it was nine.
Holy smokes!
A song in every word.
I note that @most2dot0 has commented below. His UA-cam channel has playlists of all of Angelina's performances, sorted by every imaginable category you could wish for. I highly recommend that you consider using it SS your source for future reactions to her. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/channels/i5KsOINVI57pk8zbxFWyFQ.html
I highly recommend that you do ten year old and then sixteen year old Angelina’s covers of “My Funny Valentine”. The sixteen year old version was videoed in the same sofa and chairs shop this video was taken in. Both versions are just breath taking.
Totally agree, get this one ready for Valentine's Day!
❤❤❤
The first little girls is Aries then Athena cousins then Juliette Angelina sister❤
Let me not forget to mention that beautiful piano.. I could listen to that all day as well.
Angelina has over 140 covers starting at the age of 7 to. 17 of today however January 10, 2024 she will be 18. Her parents had her wait til 18 & or after graduating. She is with Republic Records and will probably take off🌀
❤
She did another Elvis rendition of “How Great Though Art”.
Well worth reacting to as it displays her lower register.
Thank you for returning to Angelina. Your reactions to her performances are always worth watching. My only disappointment is that you don't react to her as often as I could wish. 🙂
The song was written by Mark James, an American singer/songwriter, who recorded it the year it was written. The best known version, however, was that done by Elvis Presley. It was his last No 1 song. In the Wikipedia entry of the origins of the song, Mark James is said to have remarked "That late one night, he was fooling around on his Fender guitar and using his Hammond organ pedals for a bass line and came up with what he thought was a catchy melody. At the time, he was married to his first wife but still had feelings for his childhood sweetheart, who was married back in Houston. James's wife had suspicions about his feelings. He felt it was a confusing time for him and that all three were "caught in this trap that they could not walk out of."
Other singers covering this song invariably base their performance on that of Elvis, in that it is very "upbeat". Angelina took a very different path in that she read and understood the lyrics and what Mark James intended when writing them. To my mind, her rendition is much truer to the emotions of the song.
The children appearing in the video were Angelina's cousins Aires (first) and then Athena - daughters of her uncle Michael Astar, and then her sister Juliette. I would hazard a guess that they were included to emphasise that children are very important to Angelina and her family.
Confession! I have never been a great fan of Elvis Presley, although I do like some of his earlier recordings, and I had never heard of the song "Suspicious minds" but knew that Angelina would completely take ownership of it, and she did. It was beautiful. After listening to it several times, I decided to download the lyrics to see whether she kept to the original structure. She didn't, and the song is all the better for it. For me, that she started with the Bridge of the song is very significant and, I feel, very indicative of Angelina's "up front" transparency. She was declaring that it was important that their love did not die, and then carries on to say why she feels as she does. Others first say how they feel and then, almost as an afterthought, assure their love they don't want it to end. For me, it is whether I feel the singer is genuine about the situation and wishes it could be resolved or whether the singer understands the situation but thinks the blame is on her/his partner but feels the need to assure them they don't want it to end (until somebody else comes along).
Wishing for more content is a criticism I will gladly take ❤️
albert I believe the youngest cousin is named Aries, not Aurora.
@@103mrg Thank you for the gentle reminder. I should have remembered, as someone pointed this out to me quite some time ago, and I forgot to make the amendment.
Sackcloth and ashes is my garb for the remainder OD the week. 😀

about those footsteps, if you tap your foot to the footsteps they will be right on beat when the music starts. Also, I've heard that she can play either 4 or 5 instruments.
Love Angelina? Love Adele?

She, so it seems, was scouting out this vintage store for the two other videos, Suspicious minds and I have nothing. I am quiet sure you will enjoy both videos.
In summer of 2022 she visited her home country for a number of concerts. I strongly recommend her concerts in Kurbadhagen (It means Garden of the Spa in Norwegian). You won´t regret it. She was so happy to sing again, especially to her friends, after Covid, she cried.
Sir, be safe, have a pleasant year.

welcome to the world on Anglina world
❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉Aj😊
this is not a elvis presley song. he has done a cover too. the original is from mark james and he was not that successful as elvis was. we have to give him the same respect for this song. in my opinion angelina give's this song a new meaning for the new/next generation
