    Thanks a lot for another great reaction, Zack. I'm enjoying your Angelina reactions immensely. I can"t wait for you to hear their new song called 'Bad Valentine'. Next level vocals. And hopefully an original like that can mark the beginning of a new and hitherto "unmatched" chapter in Angelina's career. Much love from Norway ❤❤❤❤❤

    Toby Gad wrote IfI Were A Boy. This isn’t a cover, this is her interpretation of the song and Toby asked her to perform it at the London Palladium where I think he was being showcased as a writer.

    Great reaction Zack…. The piano player, Toby actually wrote that song… He also wrote John Legend song all of me.. A lot of popular songs already been played. It’s exciting that Angelina is now singing ….if I were a boy…. Thank you for being such a great reactor yourself. Thank you.❤

    The guy at the piano, Toby Gad, wrote this song that Beyoncé sang. They worked on this cover together for the Album “Piano Diaries”. This will be just one of many songs on this Album, all songs written by Toby Gad.

    I heard their new song "Bad Valentine" during the livestream and you could literally hear gasps from the audience.With Toby's media connections and their genius collaborations it should take a serious run at the charts and capture the coveted youth audience.Thanks for your thoughtful reaction.

    This performance was pure Angelina beautiful! She took a fierce Beyonce song, slowed it down, added pure AJ jazz touches, and made it into a plaintiff refrain that brought home an emotional home run. No one else could have done it better

      No es un cover de Beyoncé porqué ella no la escribió, Angelina Jordan canto una canción del escritor de la canción y ahora le pertenece a ella y Beyoncé cantaría un cover de Angelina Jordan porque simplemente AJ es mejor vocalista, Méxi
      It is not a cover of Beyoncé because she did not write it, Angelina Jordan performed the song together with the one who wrote and composed it Toby Gad and now it belongs to AJ, Beyoncé sings a cover of Angelina Jordan because AJ is simply a better vocalist than Beyoncé, Mexico

    Do you want to hear her unmatched ability to dynamically go from a run, then increase to a full belt, then pull it back to a breathy whisper, all effortlessly in a few seconds? If so, you need to hear her Masterclass performance of the jazz classic, My Funny Valentine, when she was 16 yo. The audio was recorded in a studio & is spectacular, but the video is her walking around in an antique store taking selfies, so I usually close my eyes to concentrate on her vocals. Here is a link in case you want to check it out. ua-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/v-deo.html She originally posted it on her TikTok, but for some unknown reason she took it down after a few weeks. Thankfully, Boris Palenovski & a few other fans captured it before she took it down, since it's my favorite vocal performance by her.

    Jo Zack, it speaks for itself, that you just sit and enjoy her! When you normally pause a lot and analyze, but with her you mostly can't because of lack of words... What higher appreciation you can give?! You add value first by sharing her with the world, to new Angels, and second we enjoy sharing the moments with her blowing away whoever reacts to her. As that is what she wants: bring the world together to be in joyful beautiful good feeling moments! - So, mission accomplished! 👍❤

Angelina will never be a Diva by choice. She can easily blast every lyric but she has no need to . With Beyoncé you hear the lyrics and With Angelina as always you feel them . But hey you are entitled to feel whatever you feel about this song and any song

    Toby Gad, and AJ have written a new song!
    The collaboration between Toby Gad and Angelina Jordan has sparked excitement with the announcement of their new original song "Bad Valentine." The anticipation for its release is high, especially after their recent performance at the Hotel Cafe. While the exact release date has not been officially announced, fans eagerly await the new material, which promises to showcase Jordan's unique vocal talents alongside Gad's renowned songwriting skills. Their previous work together, coupled with Jordan's powerful rendition of "If I Were a Boy," suggests that "Bad Valentine" will be another significant addition to her growing repertoire. The music community is abuzz with speculation and enthusiasm for this upcoming release. (CopyRight)

    Thanks Zack for another enjoyable reaction and analysis. As you said, there is no reason to compare Angelina's version to Beyonce. Every person has their favorite and each of us always have to respect each others choice of favorite. I prefer Angelina's version, as her voice always has a positive physical affect on me. Her vocal choices help bring the story of the song to life, for me.

    Thank you Zack ,was not a fan of this song, for me an average pop song, Angelina however makes me like anything ,once again elevates this with her master class storytelling and depth of feeling and makes this far greater, no disrespect to Beyonce, but IMO AJ is on another planet, she doesn't need all the bells and whistles just her love and sincerity. 💜💜💜👣💎

    One of the few times we see Angelina perform with shoes on, probably because that floor area was dangerous to bare feet with all the wires.

  • @TheBlaster54
    @TheBlaster54 6 місяців тому +5

    Zack, Angelina does more with less than any other artist I’ve seen and heard. Angelina’s performing barefoot, with limited accompaniment, in addition to her videos being black and white, have become her trade mark. Her world wide legion of devoted fans wouldn’t have it any other way. We recognize that her other worldly talent doesn’t require the need of unnecessary distractions of over the top productions.
    Angelina, standing alone and accompanied by a piano, guitar and or string instruments, is all she needs to take our breath away.

    IMO, the main difference between Angelina's version and Beyoncé's version is that Angelina takes great care to feel the lyrics of the song and convey those emotions to the audience, while Beyoncé focuses on making a flashy impressive performance but conveying the emotion of the lyrics seems secondary.
    Both are great singers. But I had never heard this song before Angelina sang it, because I don't follow Beyoncé. I had to go back and listen to several of Beyoncé's performances of this song before I could compare them.

Her concert performance of this has been uploaded from the London Palladium show and it is very good quality video from someone (JumpinSounds) that was there. It is equally as good or even better than this intimate setting here. Cheers...Stay Well.🥰🥰

    I think it needs to be said that this performance and the subsequent event in London are NOT a "cover" of Beyonce...it is Angelina singing the song written by Toby Gad. So it is like "If I Were a Boy 2", an original re-recorded for the writer, Toby Gad. Just sayin'...

    • @nfpnone8248
      @nfpnone8248 6 місяців тому +3

      That depends on who has the rights to the song. If Beyoncé acquired the rights before she released her version, then not even the writer can release any future versions without her permission. But they are all in Angelina’s corner anyway, so they wouldn’t prevent her from releasing a version, which actually isn’t a cover.

    Since Toby and BC Jean wrote the song and BC Jean originally performed the song in 2008 and then it was covered by Beyonce, also in 2008
    To me this is closer to the way the writers envisioned the song to be performed

    I would highly recommend wearing headphones when listening to AJ. In fact I've often recommended her to people in the past and insisted they wear headphones to become fully immersed in every nuance of the vocal mastery/wizardry of Angelina and get the full effect of her magic. I may be a little biased at this point but I believe her to be unparalleled as a vocalist. When first hearing this I consulted Beyonce's version for comparison and while hers is good, AJ's is vastly superior by any Rubric
