Habibati! If you haven't checked it out yet, here's the link to the Retrospective we did about Angelina Jordan, this was a labor of love, we'd be super happy if you checked it out and shared your thoughts.
Absolutely loved your reaction! When Angelina flips her hair back like that, typically it's a signal to buckle up because she is going to cut loose with something spectacular!
Welcome to the Army of Angels, you could spend all your time trying to figure her out like some of us have tried, but to be honest it's better to just enjoy the Angel
Your comments are so on point. She is not singing to draw attention about her. When her eyes roll you know she is truly possessed by the music. And it happened several times here.
I second that point about 'its about the song/music' . First time I saw and heard her, gap in front teeth and all, it was as if she was 'channeling,' in some way, the true spirit of the song/music itself, as if the music itself is living right in front of you, except it used the physical body of a very young young girl. (Very uncanny experience , I think, enhanced in that case by her pure a capella performance). In her later performances its the same thing, the 'music taking over'.
Love don’t let Migo it’s a gorgeous rendition she 17 our 6 foot one and this one she got her grandmother with her driving a Porsche her grandmother and her have a bar like nobody else. Amazing to watch.
You’ve understood something about Angelina that doesn’t get mentioned enough because reactors are too stunned by what they’re hearing. Angelina respects the music and often pays homage to the original singers. She also gives us authenticity for whatever genre she’s singing-and you haven’t even scratched the surface on that. Blues, jazz, pop, soul, ballads, r&b, and some gospel once in a while. Her vocal toolkit seems limitless, but she doesn’t flaunt it. What I realized a couple years ago is still hard for me to accept. Angelina gives me my favorite versions of many songs in about five different genres. I followed music all my life and I respect the great singers, but I’ve never heard any singer who can effortlessly deliver such beautiful performances in so many different styles. There’s no way to analyze it. She’s just the best singer I’ve ever heard, and I realized that when she was 12 and I heard her acoustic cover of Adele’s A Million Years Ago (it’s on your playlist). When Adele sings her melancholy song, you feel her sorrow. When Angelina sings it, you understand that every word in the lyrics applies to you and your life.
I'm sitting here, major goosebumps, just WOW, WOW!!! Angelina was the first time I ever heard this song, so yes, unfortunately, I missed out on a lot of different genres of music. Jazz & The Blues being two of them. I absolutely love how Angelina's stage stance, she commands, without trying, and to be perfectly honest, she doesn't even know how amazing she is on stage, her presence is undeniable. I've listened to both Nina Simone, and Buble sing this same song, and o know it's Nina's song, but I'm sorry Angelina made this her sing right here, right now with this performance. I love all of her songs when she was young, amazing!!
We are witnessing a once in a generation talent that has been blessed by the hand of God and by doing so has blessed all those who hear her voice. Peace and Calm Seas... ✌🛥
To be honest it's a pleasure just to read all the comments about the Barefoot Princess the girl is unequal in her ability to grab us all and take us with her on the song ride :)
Angelina always gives a song exactly what it needs, no less, no more. I’ve seen some amazing singers of our time, ruin songs with letting their egos take over and showing off.
You understand the essence of Angelina and have noticed her strong character and integrity right away. She has displayed these characteristics from a very young age, which is a testament to her upbringing. Angelina has a very loving, and wise family unit around her at all times.
Got your point and I totally agree. It's always about the music, the emotion and the audience. :) Angelina and your reaction made me feel pretty good too, and considering It's monday and i'm at work, I'm very thankful. :)
This is our Angelina Jordan... she sings like the Divas of the past, like an adult and then goes back to being a child...!!! Thanks for your great reaction! 🙏⚘️
Thanks for the great reaction - a pleasure to listen to. Your comments are informed, and whatever those chemicals are that are released, I feel them too (lol). I loved the comment that when Angelina sings, it's about the song, not about her. So true. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks so much.
There are 2 or 3 songs she did when she is about five years old in a recording studio. One she is giving a house tour and shows them her “not so good” pink guitar then spontaneously playing and singing Rolling in the Deep.
Authenticity in it’s purist form. Watched her on UA-cam live talking to her fans after the release of her new song. She is the essence of love. She truly does love her followers. Her interaction with her sister and her persona cannot be staged.
OMG wasn't she just adorable on that ? You just wanna grab her and squeeze her. She's still good ol' Angelina. Her and Juliet almost made me cry. That whole family can't be from this planet.
I really enjoy your reactions. This rendition is, in my opinion, the best performance of this song by anyone, any time, anywhere, let alone by a 10-year-old!
How? She is the greatest female vocalist to ever live. You will soon believe as well. That band is her own full time band hired after her win on Norway's Got Talent. That was about 2 years when this was taped. They called her "Boss," not because she is their boss but because after hearing her sing, they knew they were working for the future greatest. She has always arranged her own music and has retained that right while contracted to Republic Records. Wait until you experience her 17 year old development and perfection! Oh, she has super-model good looks as well.
OK Love don’t let me tho Number one on Spotify Different countries has been Aruba even even Colombia, Spain, Australia. It’s been around the world here by Sniter by doing it and her voice. Wow what an improvement she’s 6 foot one now driving a Porsche and she’s got a grandma weather.
mow you know why we are all angels. one listen to this tremendous young talent and your hooked. And now we"re being rewarded by aj with all the great performances she is putting out as she matures..the cover of lauren daigles.... you say
Love your reaction - I think your comments are spot on... with Angelina it is never about her, always about the song... I don't think I have ever come across any singer who embodies a song more than Angelina... she is incredible: a prodigy like no other
I am really good to hear you recognise her goodness. Her voice and talent is outstanding, but to me, the thing that stands out is her goodness, her care for fellow humans. If god sent a daughter to earth i am certain Angelina would be his first choice.
She is always respectful not only to the song but to the artist. She tends to bring their nuances to the performance. In the final analysis she sings songs the way they are suppose to be sung.
Back to watch this reaction for maybe the 6th time… I think I found a good "nutshell" way of putting what you were saying about which of the two types of singers she is. It is this: For her, the performance is all about her voice, and what she's doing with her voice is all about the song.
"You my fans remind me to be humble, without YOU there would be no Angelina Jordan. This keeps at working hard every day to get better, thank you so much." Angelin Jordan in Norway at one of her concerts.
Arab man. Any Angelina Jordan song you listened to does something to you. Like it gets into your body and cleans you out. Recovers you. Rejuvenates you. Even wash your eyes on. Or makes the sweat.😅😊
Watching you appreciate Angelina is so fulfilling. Today you looked like a kid in a candy store! Another singer reactor said in his first reaction to Angelina, “It’s not fair. It’s not fair to anyone who sings!”
Thank you for another reaction to Angelina. In my opinion, she is the best singer in the world, and there are thousands of others who would agree with me. Every moment you spend featuring her on your channel will being you great emotional satisfaction. And, congratulations to you: for you are one of the very few reactors of the over 1,600 who have featured Angelina who has recognised that she always p,ays resect to the original singer. She did this at the age of 7 on her audition at Norway's Got Talent and has continued to do so since then. There are so many things I get from this performance. Some I recognised immediately and those I missed were brought to my attention by the more observant Angelina fans (her Angels) and I thank them for letting me know what I had missed. (1) The realisation that at the age of 10 Angelina has shed all childishness from her voice. (2) A feeling that the placement of the spotlight at the beginning of her performance was deliberate. If it was, then, to my mind, it was a brilliant move. (3) The fact that Angelina arranged this song and that the band kept out of the way and let her voice be the focus. (4) The incredible low note she sang for the word "good" at the beginning and end of the performance. (5) That wonderful crescendo at the end. (6) The was Angelina used her left arm and hand throughout the performance (7) The way she changed the microphone from her right hand to left hand, so that she could flip her hair back with her right hand. (8) The cheeky smile she gave to the cameraman when she realised he had focused on her at about 6.50 in your reaction video. (9) The sideways look and grin she gives to her instrumentalists just after she curtsies to the audience -- as if to say, "Yeah, we killed it, guys! Now let's go get some ice cream!" (10) The almost instantaneous switch from "performance" mode to that of a young child who,curseyed and gave a sweet smile to the audience as an acknowledgement of their applause. Others have commented that the performance by Nina Simone should be considered the "gold" standard for this song. Until recently, I had never watched her performance, but have now done so. They just cannot be compared, for Angelina's arrangement is totally different
Greetings from Wisconsin, USA! Another great reaction, as usual! I recently turned 65 and I grew up as a child in the 1960's, a teenager in the 1970's, and I remember listening to my parent's generation of music from the 30's, 40's and 50's... Music has always been an important part of my life, even though I myself have no real musical talent. I simply love those who have that blessing to be able to play and write and sing great music. All the way through to today, I simply love great songwriting, musicianship, singing, arranging, etc. I can safely say there has never been anyone quite like Angelina Jordan. Her vocal versatility is simply beyond anyone else. I enjoy music across the spectrum from some classical vocals, through all the different genres of popular music in virtually any era, but there is no artist I listen to EVERY DAY, except Angelina. I feel blessed that I have lived long enough to hear her. Blessings to you and yours from here in Wisconsin! Tell them all you love them, for me. Thank you!
How many 10 year olds can sing 5 octaves including adults. She's the g.o.a.t Words cannot express my feelings 💔 is for her she always leaves me feeling good 😊 wild bill
Long time AJ fan here and I watch lots of reactions. Yours are GREAT! I LOVE LOVE LOVE what you said about the two types of singers. I've had all the same thoughts. I've commented so many times that Angelina doesn't perform. She just sings and lets us listen....and we are so lucky for it. Her music moves me. Can't wait til you get to Suspicious Minds. Thanks for the reactions.
Just wanted to say thanks Arab Man for your great reactions to Angelina as enough has been said from all the other Angels. Other than I love this girl/ young lady she is the embodiment of pure love and we feel it when she sings💗
I really appreciate your reactions. This may be the first time I've heard her sing this song in this performance (I think she did it for Norway's Got Talent and I heard THAT one), and something I'm just now noticing is that she gets really tasty, savory and sweet musicians to back her. I can only imagine what a treat it must be to be asked to back someone whose own insturment is so gorgeous. I often think reactors to her cover of I Put a Spell on You should show a little but more love for those musicians, but now I am seeing that her gift appears to draw out the gift in others. Thanks for your reactions and keep them up!
Arab Man, I agree 100% that it is all about the song for Angelina. She embodies each song, providing the emotions she believes the song calls for and she conveys those emotions to the listener. PLEASE join hundreds of other reaction channels who have implemented our suggestions to encourage your viewers to use the link in your description to watch, like, share and comment on the original video. BE PROUD to help boost the analytics for each featured artist. Also it would be awesome to hear your feelings on why Angelina always performs barefoot. She is much more than a very talented musical artist.
Exactly. So respectful of the song, always about reflecting the intended message and emotions of the lyrics. That ending is stunning. While at 10 years old you have to react to her fan made video of the demo of a new song she was asked to do. "I'm Still Holding Out For You". This is generally considered in her top 5 because it's so extraordinary. It was an amazing collaboration between writer, Baby FuzZ, and the vocalist Angelina Music Jordan.
This is what I Angelina's first golden year and a half. This is before she starts her odyssey of trying out vocalizations she has heard other singers used to cultivate a sound. But from 10-11.5 she sang without affect of any kind. Her second such stage happened from 16 to present. The five years or so between were a search through trial and error to distill vocal characteristics that she had fun using and that fit her personality. Angelina has a gift for approximating other singers styles to the point of being eerily similar. But her best, as far as I'm concerned, was her Billie Holiday stylization. There is a side by side video put together by one of her many handy fans. Here's the link. Angelina has often said, "without Billie Holiday there is no Angelina Jordan". ua-cam.com/video/e0uNcXOs4SQ/v-deo.html Angelina and Billie Side by Side of the song, 'I'm A Fool To Want You'.
Sir, Angelina herself said, she has to sing to humans. IMHO she was sent to us to bring light in this dark world. Also, when you practice singing since age 3 or 4 for 36 hours weekly you know exactly what you can do with your voice. A renown music teacher as well as others said, "she could give masterclasses in singing at age 10". As well as being a musical genius. Imagine a wellrespected conductor in his 40s asks advice from a 11 yo Angelina, YES, I thought so. Dear friend, may be peace with you.
@@ArabManReacts Sir, I did not want to sound like a teacher, but i try to offer what I learned about her. I know... she is a marvel, but she is a very intelligent one. And she is a shrewd woman, knowing exactly, what the people want to hear. With all that was given to her by God/Allah or the universe, she is still a humble soul and very patient with her co musicians. By chance I saw her at a rehearsal, where the keyboarder did not understand what that 11 year old exactly wanted. So she gently asked him to let her sit at his keyboard and played what we had nor understood. Yes the face of him, then he remembered who she was.... The National Treasure of Norway, Noble Woman of Norway for a reason. Dear friend be safe and have peace. Elmar
Her interpretation of a song can be as clear as a sky without clouds and leaves one feeling good like the songs title says. Thank you for the reaction.
Another good reaction, thank you. You hit the nail on the head when Angelina sings you simply feel better. I can't explain it either it just happens, and it's been happening to me for 3 years.
You've got it, Sir. Absolutely, she is what you say. Respectful and humble. Yes, the new song is out. Jump ahead and catch it. She's got her Grandma Mery in the video with her. Love your reactions to Angelina Jordan, Sir. Thank you for your respect. Grandma Ellen, out.
Angelina's soul has lived many lives already, it's the only way I find to see how each song feels, I recommend you see why she sings descalza, and the humility of our barefoot angel. sdos Argentina 🇦🇷
Habibati! If you haven't checked it out yet, here's the link to the Retrospective we did about Angelina Jordan, this was a labor of love, we'd be super happy if you checked it out and shared your thoughts.
Hi you!
Guess you already know but other reacters are now reacting to your Retrospective video!😊 ❤
Love and peace from Norway.
She is magnifique, she has a God given gift.❤
I wonder if anyone of Angelina's age has performed as much with a full orchestra as she has...
Absolutely loved your reaction! When Angelina flips her hair back like that, typically it's a signal to buckle up because she is going to cut loose with something spectacular!
Enjoy watching your reaction to the angel.
I thought Nina Simone's version was the gold standard but now, and I cannot believe I am thinking this, but Angelina's performance, here, is now it.
Angelina has no ego...she has no need for one...she has nothing to prove...her art speaks for itself
Welcome to the Army of Angels, you could spend all your time trying to figure her out like some of us have tried, but to be honest it's better to just enjoy the Angel
I felt like you were watching your young girl singing.
Angelina You are The Best.
When I listen to you, I feel good too. ❤
Your comments are so on point. She is not singing to draw attention about her. When her eyes roll you know she is truly possessed by the music. And it happened several times here.
I humbly suggest a jump to the future... Angelina's new song, 'Love, Don't Let Me Go' is awesome.
You have hit it, bullseye. The song is the master & she embodies that
One of the best reactions I've seen in a long time congratulations 🍁
Good point. With Angelina, it's always about the song (except maybe here at the end - LOL!). Then she curtsies!
❤Angelina ❤
Enjoy your videos! Angelina Jordan is simply amazing! She just gets better and better.
SPECTACULAR!!! She's calmly standing in front of a full orchestra,... KILLING IT!!!
Her tasteful choices brings me tears of joy.
"It's about the song, not the singer". Wise words.
What a Finale . 🌠🎆. Her power is effortless. She is a child prodigy. Imagine being her Mum. 🙇♀️
I second that point about 'its about the song/music' . First time I saw and heard her, gap in front teeth and all, it was as if she was 'channeling,' in some way, the true spirit of the song/music itself, as if the music itself is living right in front of you, except it used the physical body of a very young young girl. (Very uncanny experience , I think, enhanced in that case by her pure a capella performance). In her later performances its the same thing, the 'music taking over'.
Love don’t let Migo it’s a gorgeous rendition she 17 our 6 foot one and this one she got her grandmother with her driving a Porsche her grandmother and her have a bar like nobody else. Amazing to watch.
Dude, I'm here for every single one of these. You look like a proud man watching your kid performing.. So awesome.
You’ve understood something about Angelina that doesn’t get mentioned enough because reactors are too stunned by what they’re hearing. Angelina respects the music and often pays homage to the original singers. She also gives us authenticity for whatever genre she’s singing-and you haven’t even scratched the surface on that. Blues, jazz, pop, soul, ballads, r&b, and some gospel once in a while. Her vocal toolkit seems limitless, but she doesn’t flaunt it.
What I realized a couple years ago is still hard for me to accept. Angelina gives me my favorite versions of many songs in about five different genres.

You forgot rock, classical poetry, swing, folk, modern country, EDM, adult contemporary, Christian, and even her Jazzy pop & modern retro etc.❤❤❤
This is so apparent when she covered MJ. 💯 respects the original
Just carrying by Angelina 's voice and enjoy, what better ? ❤
Angelina fills you with joy, no matter the song, but this song was more like an explosion of pure feelings...ergo the name, perhaps.
Angelina is Mery Zamani grand dauther.international artist,she is Iranien.
The best version of this song ever !!!
Wow!
Adrenaline miss you going to high her voice is like medicine to your soul
great reaction

It puts me in a good mood watching your reaction. 😊
Play Born to die she's 12 years old here .She is a fantastic singer and we need more of her on the radio
To be honest it's a pleasure just to read all the comments about the Barefoot Princess the girl is unequal in her ability to grab us all and take us with her on the song ride :)
Angelina always gives a song exactly what it needs, no less, no more. I’ve seen some amazing singers of our time, ruin songs with letting their egos take over and showing off.
God gave her a gift
You definitely "get" her! Keep up your journey, you will probably surprise with your selections. I will keep my lips buttoned about my suggestions.
You understand the essence of Angelina and have noticed her strong character and integrity right away. She has displayed these characteristics from a very young age, which is a testament to her upbringing. Angelina has a very loving, and wise family unit around her at all times.
I love you ! your awesome specially when it comes Angelina Jordan, I'm right on point with you
I love your reaction, you look as adorable as her! No offense to your significant other, if any. Be blessed.
Firstly THIS isn't Micheal Buble's song. He covered it, yes. THIS is a Nina Simone classic that has been covered 1000 times over.
The kid is so special. And, she will alway be….Thanks for a great reaction.
Got your point and I totally agree. It's always about the music, the emotion and the audience. :)
Angelina and your reaction made me feel pretty good too, and considering It's monday and i'm at work, I'm very thankful. :)
❤️❤️❤️
Both the singing and your reaction make me feel good. I am going out to the spring sun and start my day. Thank you very much.
Years ago I watched a musician react to her and this performance for the first time. Quote: "It's just not fair." Indeed.
Great reaction, sir!
This is our Angelina Jordan... she sings like the Divas of the past, like an adult and then goes back to being a child...!!!
Thanks for your great reaction! 🙏⚘️

There are 2 or 3 songs she did when she is about five years old in a recording studio. One she is giving a house tour and shows them her “not so good” pink guitar then spontaneously playing and singing Rolling in the Deep.

Angelina also sang this song outdoors at the same age 💁🏻♀️
She sings so her audience will have a good experience.
Thank you. I loved your reaction, and you hit the nail with respect to her values, humbleness and respect.
I really enjoy your reactions. This rendition is, in my opinion, the best performance of this song by anyone, any time, anywhere, let alone by a 10-year-old!
Totally agree, to me Angelina "owns" this song now. That may sound ridiculous, but it's my honest opinion!
How? She is the greatest female vocalist to ever live. You will soon believe as well. That band is her own full time band hired after her win on Norway's Got Talent.

When it comes to AJ, you are easily my favorite person to accompany the listening experience. So knowledgeable, and entertaining ☑️👍😎
10 was a magic year for her. Wait til you hear,I’m Still Holding Out for You. You will cry from it’s perfection and modern sound.

You missed WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKE. 8 years old and a spectacular huge outdoor concert with her own backing singers.
Watching you appreciate Angelina is so fulfilling. Today you looked like a kid in a candy store!

I've commented so many times that Angelina doesn't perform. She just sings and lets us listen....and we are so lucky for it. Her music moves me. Can't wait til you get to Suspicious Minds. Thanks for the reactions.
Can add nothing to the other comments but am so enjoying your release of seratonin watching Angelina 💕💕
Just wanted to say thanks Arab Man for your great reactions to Angelina as enough has been said from all the other Angels. Other than I love this girl/ young lady she is the embodiment of pure love and we feel it when she sings💗
Right on
I love it
😊it was said she was born with a perfect pitch. She's amazing
The ending!!!!! WOW goosebumps
I really appreciate your reactions. This may be the first time I've heard her sing this song in this performance (I think she did it for Norway's Got Talent and I heard THAT one), and something I'm just now noticing is that she gets really tasty, savory and sweet musicians to back her. I can only imagine what a treat it must be to be asked to back someone whose own insturment is so gorgeous. I often think reactors to her cover of I Put a Spell on You should show a little but more love for those musicians, but now I am seeing that her gift appears to draw out the gift in others. Thanks for your reactions and keep them up!
Arab Man, I agree 100% that it is all about the song for Angelina. She embodies each song, providing the emotions she believes the song calls for and she conveys those emotions to the listener.

Now you know how Soliere felt regarding Mozart.
Exactly. So respectful of the song, always about reflecting the intended message and emotions of the lyrics. That ending is stunning. While at 10 years old you have to react to her fan made video of the demo of a new song she was asked to do. "I'm Still Holding Out For You". This is generally considered in her top 5 because it's so extraordinary. It was an amazing collaboration between writer, Baby FuzZ, and the vocalist Angelina Music Jordan.
This is what I Angelina's first golden year and a half. This is before she starts her odyssey of trying out vocalizations she has heard other singers used to cultivate a sound. But from 10-11.5 she sang without affect of any kind. Her second such stage happened from 16 to present. The five years or so between were a search through trial and error to distill vocal characteristics that she had fun using and that fit her personality. Angelina has a gift for approximating other singers styles to the point of being eerily similar. But her best, as far as I'm concerned, was her Billie Holiday stylization. There is a side by side video put together by one of her many handy fans. Here's the link.
Angelina has often said, "without Billie Holiday there is no Angelina Jordan".

Sir, Angelina herself said, she has to sing to humans. IMHO she was sent to us to bring light in this dark world. Also, when you practice singing since age 3 or 4 for 36 hours weekly you know exactly what you can do with your voice. A renown music teacher as well as others said, "she could give masterclasses in singing at age 10". As well as being a musical genius. Imagine a wellrespected conductor in his 40s asks advice from a 11 yo Angelina, YES, I thought so.
Dear friend, may be peace with you.
WOW
@@ArabManReacts Sir, I did not want to sound like a teacher, but i try to offer what I learned about her. I know... she is a marvel, but she is a very intelligent one. And she is a shrewd woman, knowing exactly, what the people want to hear. With all that was given to her by God/Allah or the universe, she is still a humble soul and very patient with her co musicians. By chance I saw her at a rehearsal, where the keyboarder did not understand what that 11 year old exactly wanted. So she gently asked him to let her sit at his keyboard and played what we had nor understood. Yes the face of him, then he remembered who she was.... The National Treasure of Norway, Noble Woman of Norway for a reason.
Dear friend be safe and have peace.

Her interpretation of a song can be as clear as a sky without clouds and leaves one feeling good like the songs title says. Thank you for the reaction.
Another good reaction, thank you. You hit the nail on the head when Angelina sings you simply feel better. I can't explain it either it just happens, and it's been happening to me for 3 years.
You've got it, Sir. Absolutely, she is what you say. Respectful and humble. Yes, the new song is out. Jump ahead and catch it. She's got her Grandma Mery in the video with her. Love your reactions to Angelina Jordan, Sir. Thank you for your respect. Grandma Ellen, out.
You‘re a great guy. The way you looked at her is 1 million worth: like a proud father. …and yes, she‘s a wonder.
Angelina's soul has lived many lives already, it's the only way I find to see how each song feels, I recommend you see why she sings descalza, and the humility of our barefoot angel. sdos Argentina 🇦🇷
You have played over a thousand gigs with her dedication and commitment she’s not far behind you if not there
