Good comments great reaction 👍. First time seeing lyrics video. Helps to have lyrics because i tend to miss gems as was the case here Appreciate your thoughts. Reinforcing what I've felt about Angelina. Cheers
I don't know if I am right or not but IMHO, this beautiful girl -Angelina Jordan has a commitment with the world humanity ; like if someone from a higher step , above humans have compromise her to improve the human lifes behavior through her person. in order to help people to become better human been....just remember what she did at 6 year old ,supporting a poor child and making a commitment to her self to not wear shoes till children of the whole world have them. besides , her own compositions always speaks about love and hope, same as her covers. I am very sure that She is a gifted person , and that gift comes from the top.
Love Angelina! She's uniquely special. Another savant? Alma Deutscher. SHE is a musical genius, writing a full-scale opera, violin and piano concertos by age 11 (!)
Most of the time adults are learning children what life is all about. This is the other way around: a child (I think this is from 2019, so she was about 12 years of age) learning us what life should be all about. And Angelina does that with this song in a simple clear way. I mean: those lyrics are beautiful and at the same time simple to understand. She is so gifted....
Thank you for this wonderful reaction with Angelina. I love her lyrics and the formulation of the song, really this is a song that tells a lot about her ... this is the life of an 11 year old girl who manages to ask herself these questions by offering her answers and isn't so normal for a child of that age, and she leave us with the hope that she can always live her life with such awareness. 😊 😍 ... "Maybe life is a warm embrace / From someone safe / Maybe life's just a memory / We come, we see, we go" ... for me this is a wonderful poem ❤️
Life is beautiful, an important message and the way you have to manage it, look at the phrase. ..we come, we see, we goooo This first basic song talks a lot of her way and you always find a continuing in her later songs. She is a wonderful singer-songwriter. You can find her second own song. .Oslo. .also in this timeless Album. A beautiful gift about her hometown
Would’ve definitely wanted you to react “live” to What Is Life acoustic, especially now that you have the full orchestra arrangement. As usual great job Highly! Cheers 🍻
So happy you did the lyric video first. Her lyrics are so good… I wish all reactors had a look at her lyric videos first on her original songs. Great lyric videos, some are made by using her grandmothers paintings. Grandma is an artist too, sure somebody told you already. Ann from Norway.
Has anybody mentioned to you, that she is the youngest published author in Norway. I’d love for you to react to her cover of “It’s A Mans’ World. It’s spectacular.
Yes ,,,yes ,,,and yes and so much more,,,,,,,,,,she is not a prodigy ,,,not a talent,,,,,,she is so much more and as adults we all have a funny smile on our faces and nothing else,,,we wanna say something smart about it,,,,but,,,,,but,,,what????? words are to cheap,,,,,,,only our souls and hearts know the answers,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,thanx as always for reacting
Composer. She's published, with a child's book, and you should do "Shield" See your not getting it "She is" This is no joke! She has moved Millions of people!
Until you read her BOOK you have no idea what you are dealing with. I read only excerpts of it and cannot get an English version, but it was straight out of her diary and let me tell you...You will get on your knees and thank God Almighty for this blessing we call Angelina Jordan...beyond a genius, composer, singer etc. She is a carefully crafted gift to the world with no time left to spare.
You should get a copy of her book published when she was nine based on her diary entries when she was six. There are also interviews of her where she reads from her diary. Her words at six are so beyond her age that is not conceivable That they were written by by a six year old child. She is far beyond our ability to imagine. Her empathy is overwhelming. Many say she cannot possibly emote the emotions that she is singing about. Her book proves them wrong.
I personally like this version better than the accoustic version. I'm glad you reacted to this one, there aren't many reactions to this version. 1:43 _"she's going places. We're gonna hear about her for the rest of our lives"_ 😁 If she continues at this rate she'll become a legend already at the age of 20 😆
Yes, she composed the whole song. But, she is also a writter. At age 10 she had already write the book with the story behind why she does not perform with shoes on.
I was a kid too, and should be ashamed of what I was doing at ten but then I'm not a genius except in knowing when I witness greatness. That happened with my introduction on AGT to Angelina's genius. The legend doing what she was born to do. Thumbs up sir, we appreciate you.
You need to check out the rehearsals for this album and accompanying concert with the Norwegian Military Band, it’s impressive the level of control she has over everything! By the way, “It’s Magic” is still appearing in the top 10 jazz albums on iTunes jazz chart. Remember, her grandmother is a noted poet as well as an artist, Angelina got it honest.
I believe that you are starting to really understand why her Angels believe she is a once in a generation talent. Ive never seen or heard of anyone like her. At 15 i already think she it the G.O.A.T.
She is a prodigy! She plays the piano and the guitar and another one I dont remember. Listen to Oslo which she wrote on a plane. It's pure poetry. Another beautiful one id Shield. To me this one wd be a good theme to a James Bond film. Thanks your reactions. I love them 🥰
I dont know if she's a genius compozer but from what I've seen I surely believe her intelligence is above average. And her interests surely diverge much from usual kids. Ivan Mendez said in an interview she knew a lot more songs than him (he is more than ten years older than her). Its also worth noting while she has years of experience in singing and doing some re-arrangement for covers we've seen only five originals from here so far. She's only just beginning to publish her own songs, its a very early stage.
She wrote lyrics and melody but there was others arranging it for the full military band. It was quite an recognition to be invited to sing on this album when she was 11yo to celebrate the bands 200 years aniversery. She has 13 songs on this 16 track CD, including another of her originals "Oslo". 😊
It doesn't look like anyone else has said this, so, for the record: while she composed the music for the song (and wrote the lyrics, of course), it's not like she _orchestrated_ it herself. The credits in the CD linear notes say the music was arranged by Bjørn Morten Kjærnes (who, along with Lars Erik Gudim and Jarle Storløkken, arranged all the songs on the _It's Magic_ album for the military band Forsvarets Stabsmusikkorps).
Her writing is impressive. There is an interview from Norwegian TV she did when her book came out. She was 9. She discussed the well known story about meeting the girl in the Middle East, and then she shared something truly astonishing; she read from her diary entry from the day of the encounter. The thoughts put down on paper by that 6 year old girl brought tears to this old man's eyes. This girl embodies unconditional love for others that is decades beyond her years. The interview is well worth watching (turn on subtitles.) ua-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/v-deo.html
I realized she was a “savant-level” genius when a Norwegian commenter was discussing the translation of her book “Mellom to Hjerter” (Between Two Hearts) to an English speaking commenter who had recently purchased her book. According to the Norwegian fellow, the entirety of the book reads like poetry (many direct translations of some of the passages are difficult), and its emotional content is often overwhelming. When Angelina wrote the book, she apparently was composing directly from her journal entries when she was six years old. Elsewhere, and at a later date, Angelina admitted to her fans, that she has been writing more than she had let on, and that much of her musical inspiration is taken directly from her journal. It wouldn’t be a stretch of the imagination to believe that much of the contents of the songs “Million Miles”, and “7th Heaven” are taken directly from her journal. She truly is an exceptionally intelligent and emotionally gifted human being. ♥️
BTW, excellent reaction. Although I wouldn’t have recommended viewing the Lyric video, your choice is a wise one. Angelina’s penchant for jazz stylings takes some liberties with pronunciation (some have referred to it as “singing in cursive”) and it wasn’t until watching your reaction that I truly listened to the words of “What is Life” and focused on their meaning. Thank you. I look forward to catching all of your future reactions to Angelina’s beautiful creations.
Hi Highly, as for her book, she has it at her online shop AND now you can download it in English. Ok its not cheap, but when you have read the book, I think you will feel as humble as I feel, and I am 61 yo. That is NOT prose of a 8 yo. Then you might understand that some of us think, that she has super high IQ and is emphatic. Because the thoughts and feelings she noted in her diary and brought into her book are shaking my soul. You and yours stay save and healthy. German Greetings.
There’s a short video of Angelina Jordan singing in Japanese her maternal grandfather language enjoy it “like a River flows “ She’s having a concert in Los Angeles September 20/24 tickets are selling now 🦶👑🎶❤️
Glad you're checking out the acoustic version. That one sent me over the moon and back. What are these kids drinking in their water these days? Lyric video is awesome. The lyric video on Million Miles is still my favorite version of that song, also an original. Later!
Ok!!! Bravissima!!!! Splendid!!!!!
But I want her fantastic vibrato!!!!! Her unique voice!!!!
In her beautiful voice I am comfortable!!!!!!
YUP her composition! Her Lyrics, check out the Acoustic Version!!
SHE DOES WRITING, AND WONDERFULLY WELL DONE.
Shield is another impressive piece of poetry from her, recommend you will love it.
Listen to her singing a song for A. Beautiful beyond comprehension.
I prefer the piano and guitar accompaniment because it is raw, pure and really showcases her voice....you will love it!
Good comments great reaction 👍. First time seeing lyrics video. Helps to have lyrics because i tend to miss gems as was the case here

SHE WAS 10!! TEN!
So terrific
This is nuts. She is such a goddess.
🦶🦶😇😍🤯🤯

Thanks for reaction to this brother
Awesome reaction to The Music Master, God Bless!
I loved this version! Thanks for showing it.
Great idea to realy get into her wonderful lyrics, - as well as her amazing melodies.
Thank`s again. Love it.
This was super!! She is the complete package without a doubt!!
Love Angelina! She's uniquely special. Another savant? Alma Deutscher. SHE is a musical genius, writing a full-scale opera, violin and piano concertos by age 11 (!)
She is the “bright star in the dark sky”, this young lady is perfection ❤️
Are you surprise?? She also plays guitar, flute, violin and piano... speaks Farsi, norsk a little japanese and English...she is studying german also
Enjoyed your reaction. This version is seldom reacted to so i appreciate hearing Angelina sing with the backing of the orchestra.
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Life is listening to Angelina sing. That's as good as it gets.
She sings like forty and lyrics woukd find the youngster in her. All the more lovable!
This was a fantastic idea. Loved it.
She wrote this at 10 years old.
She also wrote a book that was published at 9!❤️
Most of the time adults are learning children what life is all about. This is the other way around: a child (I think this is from 2019, so she was about 12 years of age) learning us what life should be all about. And Angelina does that with this song in a simple clear way. I mean: those lyrics are beautiful and at the same time simple to understand. She is so gifted....
She’s a composer, an author (had a book published in Noway) written a few songs. She’s truly a prodigy!!
Awesome reaction! She truly sings from her soul to your soul! Watching her grow into, what I believe, the best female vocalist ever!
Great reaction and well done with your continuing education about the most intriguing musical artist of my lifetime.
Thank you for this wonderful reaction with Angelina.

... "Maybe life is a warm embrace / From someone safe / Maybe life's just a memory / We come, we see, we go" ... for me this is a wonderful poem ❤️
Isn't she just something special... 🤩🤩🤩
She wrote this at age 11 and performed it at age 12. Yes, it’s her first published original.
She is, I think, a little older when she sings the acoustic version.
Shield is another great song she wrote. I love the live version 😍
Life is beautiful, an important message and the way you have to manage it, look at the phrase. ..we come, we see, we goooo
This first basic song talks a lot of her way and you always find a continuing in her later songs.
She is a wonderful singer-songwriter. You can find her second own song. .Oslo. .also in this timeless Album. A beautiful gift about her hometown
Would’ve definitely wanted you to react “live” to What Is Life acoustic, especially now that you have the full orchestra arrangement. As usual great job Highly! Cheers 🍻
She wrote this at age 10 and this song came out when she turned 11....
She IS the youngest published author in Norway at the age of 9.....
So happy you did the lyric video first. Her lyrics are so good… I wish all reactors had a look at her lyric videos first on her original songs. Great lyric videos, some are made by using her grandmothers paintings. Grandma is an artist too, sure somebody told you already. Ann from Norway.
Has anybody mentioned to you, that she is the youngest published author in Norway.
I’d love for you to react to her cover of “It’s A Mans’ World. It’s spectacular.
Angelina arranges her covers. Love your surprise when you discover another talent. She has so many. Thank you.
Yes ,,,yes ,,,and yes and so much more,,,,,,,,,,she is not a prodigy ,,,not a talent,,,,,,she is so much more and as adults we all have a funny smile on our faces and nothing else,,,we wanna say something smart about it,,,,but,,,,,but,,,what????? words are to cheap,,,,,,,only our souls and hearts know the answers,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,thanx as always for reacting
The band is the Norwegian Military band she gigged with on other videos.
Great reaction as always, I must have overlooked this version, thanks for bringing something new to me that I have not uncovered,
Beyond her compositions, Angelina directs the arrangements of virtually every some she's ever sung.
Composer. She's published, with a child's book, and you should do "Shield" See your not getting it "She is" This is no joke! She has moved Millions of people!
Until you read her BOOK you have no idea what you are dealing with. I read only excerpts of it and cannot get an English version, but it was straight out of her diary and let me tell you...You will get on your knees and thank God Almighty for this blessing we call Angelina Jordan...beyond a genius, composer, singer etc. She is a carefully crafted gift to the world with no time left to spare.
Angelina writes, composes, arranges songs and plays instruments. Angelina is a bona fide musical genius. She is a gift to mankind from on high.
You should get a copy of her book published when she was nine based on her diary entries when she was six. There are also interviews of her where she reads from her diary. Her words at six are so beyond her age that is not conceivable That they were written by by a six year old child. She is far beyond our ability to imagine. Her empathy is overwhelming.

The thoughts of a 10 years old girl about life... put into beautiful music.
This little girl is one of a kind
The accustic is so beautiful! Very kind ogf New Orleans jazz 🥰🥰
Isn't exciting to be part of her journey?
Life is beautiful indeed specially with your music❤️❤️❤️
NOW IVE SEEN THE LYRICS i appreciate a lot more
You need to check out the rehearsals for this album and accompanying concert with the Norwegian Military Band, it’s impressive the level of control she has over everything! By the way, “It’s Magic” is still appearing in the top 10 jazz albums on iTunes jazz chart.
Remember, her grandmother is a noted poet as well as an artist, Angelina got it honest.
Original music Million Miles, What Is Life, Oslo, Shield, and 7th Heaven
I believe that you are starting to really understand why her Angels believe she is a once in a generation talent. Ive never seen or heard of anyone like her. At 15 i already think she it the G.O.A.T.
Yes, you're right.
Yes she composes her own lyrics and composes some that are to old for her and at the Request of her mom. She is also an Author
Now another original should be « Shield » the TV2 version age 12. Love your reaction...your a great guy.
She is a prodigy! She plays the piano and the guitar and another one I dont remember. Listen to Oslo which she wrote on a plane. It's pure poetry. Another beautiful one id Shield. To me this one wd be a good theme to a James Bond film. Thanks your reactions. I love them 🥰
I believe the other instrument is the flute.
Thsnks ! I wad not sure 👍

Angelina has 4 other originals she wrote in addition to this one. "Oslo" "Shield" "Million Miles" "7th Heaven"
And they are superb especially she’ll love that one and the production was tremendous
And this is her third language!
she plays the piano and speaks English, Norwegian Farsi, and Japanese
I always hears the acústico version but this one is fabulous! Thank you so much! Awesome reaction❤️
It’s difficult to wrap one’s mind around the fact that Angelina was ten years old when she recorded this beautiful song.
I realized she was a “savant-level” genius when a Norwegian commenter was discussing the translation of her book “Mellom to Hjerter” (Between Two Hearts) to an English speaking commenter who had recently purchased her book.
