Thank you so much for your heartfelt and genuine reactions😊so refreshing and honest. You are right: she is a goddess...I hope you got some sleep after this!😜
It's great to see your brain breaking again!!!!! Lol.... Las Vegas here we go angels..... Can't wait to see her live..... It's really, really really nice to see you back. I ❤your reactions
Angelina did indeed give this performance an extra helping of reverence and emotion, because it wasn't about her, it was about Narges. BTW Narges children were sitting directly in front of her while she sang (they have not seen their mother in over 9 years). To me that gives this song a whole different meaning. Loved your reaction as always Debbie!
Drop-dead gorgeous. Every. Aspect. She truly sang heart to the heart of the recipient and her family, with their circumstances. She sang it like a lullaby, incredibly tender.
The way in which the best vocalist in the world Angelina Jordan interprets this melody today is extraordinary, to give a message of love, hope, faith, for Narges Mohammadi. Nobel Peace Prize 2023, an activist who has sacrificed her family, her physical health and her life for a noble and just cause, She fights for women against systemic discrimination and oppression, Supports the struggle of women to live "a full and dignified life for equality and the rights of women in Iran, sentenced to 31 years in prison, her children present at the ceremony received the award, it was a message from a mother to her children present in the voice of Angelina Jordan. Mexico
A difficult song, a full orchestra, a live audience of dignitaries from around the world and no chance for an error and no lip-syncing or auto anything just a onetime run through with maybe one or two rehearsals. NO PRESSURE, JUST SHEER PERFECTION. I laugh when I see what we get at the Grammy's each year.
This is why she sang in such a restrained tone. From the committee's press release: "The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2023 to Narges Mohammadi for her fight against the oppression of women in Iran and her fight to promote human rights and freedom for all. Her brave struggle has come with tremendous personal costs. Altogether, the regime has arrested her 13 times, convicted her five times, and sentenced her to a total of 31 years in prison and 154 lashes. Ms. Mohammadi is still in prison." What makes this song so meaningful is, Unchained Melody was written about a prisoner longing to be reunited with a loved one. And her husband and children were there to receive the honor on her behalf.
So glad to have you back. Can’t wait for you to react to her EP. Your health and your channel , you decide how it goes. We will be here. Great reaction as usual. Take care.
Hi again Debbie. Oh, and don't worry about our reaction to you, whether you pause or not, or mouth hanging open etc.: we adore you for your warmth, your honesty, your openness and your obviously beautiful heart. Btw, she did this performance in December 2023 when she was 17; she turned 18 on January 10 this year. Yes, she was sort of holding back, but there was a huge reason for the extreme reverence, gentleness, emotion and pathos that she poured into this performance. As I did in my comment to your previous reaction (Bohemian Rhapsody), I once again gently invite you to look at James Thiel's beautiful video ( ua-cam.com/video/T6iqTCPeIF4/v-deo.html), not necessarily to do a reaction to it on your channel, but just for your own personal enjoyment. If you love Angelina, as you very clearly do, I promise that video would touch you deeply. Get some rest and have a beautiful day.
Thanks for the wonderful reaction Debbie. Her voice is absolutely the natural connection between soul and heart ... she is a beautiful musical being and a wonderful gift to us. The deep participation with which she sings this song to us is delightful and moving, this is an enchanting interpretation for the simplicity of the musical background and at the same time fascinating for her complex vocal line. I absolutely adore this young girl.💛🧡❤
Taking nothing away from Bobby Hadfield's long standing 'Gold Standard' rendition of this song, it must be noted that in this Nobel Peace Prize appearance by Angelina she brings forth the most emotion laden, penetrating performance I have ever experienced, and that includes Bobby's iconic delivery of the song .
This was one of the latest recordings,with the Norwegian Radio Orchestra, for the Nobel Peace price for Narges Mohammadi, an Iranian human rights activist and Nobel laureate. She is the vice president of the Defenders of Human Rights Center, headed by her fellow Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Shirin Ebadi.The freedom struggle cost her dearly. She was arrested 13 times and sentenced to 31 years in prison and 154 lashes. In October 2023, when her selection as the Nobel Peace Prize laureate was announced, she was locked in Tehran’s notorious Evin prison. Fuck it, how can men be so evil.
Also of note, as Angelina’s grandmother Mery is from Iran, Angelina has Iranian heritage therefore this performance has even more meaning for Angelina and her family
We are 4 hours behind the East coast up here in Alaska. I went to bed around 12:30 but just got up to watch your reaction to this piece of art at 2AM. Thank you and sleep well!
Hi Deborah - wasn't blocked. AJ is totally awesome live. In her concert in Norway when she was 16 I was lucky enough to watch her 10 feet from the stage. So glad you are back.
In 2014, a little Norwegian girl was named and codified, a national treasure by both the King of Norway and the prime Minister. That same year, she sang for the Nobel peace prize winners all at the age of 8. In 2023, that same girl, now almost 18 once again graced the Nobel peace prize stage and sang for the recipient once again. That young girl is none other than Angelina Jordan. Angelina Jordan made history with this performance. Angelina is the only solo singer under the age of 18 to have performed twice at the Nobel peace prize concert. When I learned the story of Narges Mohammadi, this years recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, and the history of the song "Unchained Melody", I fully understood why Angelina Jordan chose this song. P.S.: Angelina arranged the music and vocals for this performance. She thanked the director of KORK publicly for allowing her to do this.
So good to see you back in motion Deb. I have had worries about you leaving the whole show. So now I'm smiling again. Don't forget to breathe now. I remember that. Lots of LOVE❤❤❤ from Norway.
Debbi, To me this is the embodiment of Divine Grace in sound. My only analogy, would be, to the likes of Maria Callas, The stature, the elegance, the enrapturing beauty. We all are blessed with the privilege of witnessing this history of Ms. Jordan's transformative artistry. ♾ Rb
Debbie, sorry you couldn't sleep but we benefited with your reaction. Once you understand the background for this performance, it takes it to a much higher level of emotion. Narges Mohammadi was this years' recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Narges was, at the time of this tribute, on a hunger strike while imprisoned in Iran, for being an activist for women's rights. Her two children spoke on her behalf at this event. Most of the performers were Iranian. We know Angelina's grandmother, Mery Zamani, grew up in Iran and was a prodigy for painting and poetry. We can imagine the conversations Mery had with Angelina about Narges. This performance had to be extremely meaningful to Angelina and her family. I hope all the angels will spread the story of Narges and her mission, with the hope for change. In 1954, Alex North was contracted to compose the score for the prison film Unchained (released in 1955). North had a melody he had written in the 1930s and composed and recorded the score when he was asked to write a song based upon the movie's theme. North asked Hy Zaret to write the lyrics. After first refusing, Zaret and North together wrote "Unchained Melody. Zaret refused the producer's request to include the word "unchained" in his lyrics. The song eventually became known as the "Unchained Melody" even though the song does not actually include the word "unchained". Instead, Zaret chose to focus on someone who pines for a lover he has not seen in a "long, lonely time". "Unchained Melody" comes from the film centered on a man who contemplates either escaping from prison to live life on the run or completing his sentence and returning to his wife and family. So indeed this song fits along with Narges being in prison and her two children, and the rest of the people who embrace freedom, calling for her release.
Debbie, glad you're back!! I hope you revert back to some of AJ' s earlier years, you have at least 100+ that you have not seen. Here are just a few that you haven't watched that are my favorites when she was 10-15. Still Holding out for You. 10 First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. 11 What Is Life. 12 Stay. 12 I Will Always Love You. 11 All I Ask. 15 Have fun! 🤗
Angelina and KORK(Norwegian Radio Orchestra) just did a magnificent rendition of Unchained Melody! The perfect song for Narges Mohammadi Nobel Peace Prize! And let’s not forget Angelina’s Iranian heritage and Oslo is her hometown! Third time with KORK, she did Back to Black and Summertime when she was 10! Has been invited twice to Nobel Peace Prize, previously appeared when she was eight! She has brought grace and elegance back to the stage! Narges is in jail for leading the fight for women’s rights in Iran! At the end Angelina puts her hand over her heart acknowledging Narges children who were on stage and happen to be Angelina’s age and are living in exile in France! Remember that she was codified a National Treasure of Norway by the King and Prime Minister when she was eight years old!
Thank you Deborah. Just to let you know, Angelina thanked Kork ( the orchestra, she had sung with at least twice, for TRUSTING her, ) She apparently with H.Sunde was instrumental in the arrangement. Which makes sense, since the music is wrapped around her voice. .
Hi Debbie .. aparently Angelina was at age 9 when she did "I put a Spell on you" .. and she really did .. 😁 .. and indeed .. she not only looks like a Goddess she IS .. her Birthday was at January 10th and turned to age 18 .. right only 18 years old ..
Yes That was the first thing I thought when I saw the first close up of Angelina in this video , she looks like a Greek Goddess and sings like an Angel sent from above. thanks for this reaction ,good to see you again, Cheers!!
She was intentionally holding back to express the longing of a mother for her children. The recipient of the Peace Prize is Narges Mohammadi. She is in prison in Iran. Her twin children (the same age as Angelina) accepted the prize on her behalf. Angelina took it upon herself to express the longing of a mother for her children. The original song was written for a movie about a man in prison. At the end when you paused it Angelina looked at the children and put her hand over her heart. Her heart is as big as her talent. One reason fans love her.
Thank you, and I enjoyed your insightful and genuine comments. Please begin 2024 generously and spread the love and kindness that Angelina showers us with. Her message is profound and timely. I thank you for providing links to the artists' original video and official channels in your description. Most importantly, encourage viewers to use those links to watch, like, share, and comment, the same as for your own channel. 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. 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. Help enable Angelina and all young artists to attain their goals of singing to spread love and peace in the world. Thanks in advance for doing your part. Peace and love.
Thank you Debbie. She sang this song the way it should be done for the very solemn occasion, fully respecting the meaning of this iconic song. The song comes from the 1956 Movie "Unchained" about incarcerated prisoners longing to be with their families. This fully represents Narges Mohammadi who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. She is imprisoned by the barbaric Iranian regime for standing up for women's rights and equality. Her 2 children, around Angelina's age, were in attendance here to except the award on Narges behalf and are in the audience. This took place at the Town Hall in Oslo Norway, Angelina's home town. The Norwegian Peace Prize committee is headquartered here. Just a little info and one of the reasons Angelina sang this the way she did. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

This rendition was very much respectful to the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, a lady jailed in Iran for promoting rights for women. She has been in prison for many years and before her sentence ended new charges were invented to extend her imprisonment. There can't be a more appropriate song...
L'algoritmo di youtube è incomprensibile; a volte lascia passare e a volte no senza una logica. L'unica cosa che mi viene in mente sono le segnalazioni: se qualche cattivone segnala il video youtube interviene. Un abbraccio.
Morrissete synger også denne sangen bra med høyere volum og raskere tempo. Men foretrekker angelina versjon mere pga føler sangen mye bedre og stemmen mye mere fyldig.
Au tant spécialisé vocaliste 0:04 je crois qu'il ya une défiance dans les notes n est pas bien adapté parce que sa voix ne marché pas avec ce genre de chansons c est mon opinion thank you
Interesting, more than a dozen other specialist may disagree. Just their opinion. Also l think you have your numbers off. H.Sunde and Angelina assisted in the arrangement. So it would seem strange that she would set a note, out of her range.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt and genuine reactions😊so refreshing and honest. You are right: she is a goddess...I hope you got some sleep after this!😜
If someone ever tells you that there is no such thing as perfection play this performance to confirm perfection does exist.
Angelina jordan is the goddess of unchained melody ❤❤❤❤❤
Welcome back. It is very observant of you, yes our barefoot princess has attained the status of goddesshood.❤❤❤❤❤
It's great to see your brain breaking again!!!!! Lol.... Las Vegas here we go angels..... Can't wait to see her live..... It's really, really really nice to see you back. I ❤your reactions
I listen to AJ everyday and night before bed then I can't get the songs out of my head but that's OK it's AJ ❤❤❤
Of her many Masterpiece vocals, this is one of the most beautiful & emotional, imo.
Angelina did indeed give this performance an extra helping of reverence and emotion, because it wasn't about her, it was about Narges. BTW Narges children were sitting directly in front of her while she sang (they have not seen their mother in over 9 years). To me that gives this song a whole different meaning. Loved your reaction as always Debbie!
Great reaction its now one of her greatest performances lovely to see your cheery self back❤
Once more, she graces us with pure perfection. Wonderful reaction Debbie.
I think after listening to that you are ready for a beautiful sleep. This was absolute PERFECTION.
Deb, i will give you a tip. Angelina is a goddess. Truly appreciate your heartfelt reactions to her. She deserves no less and you do a fabulous job.
Welcome back! Love your reactions as always!
Thanks for the reaction to our angel Angelina..she’s simply the best.👍👏
Unchained Melody
I watched as Angelina Jordan stepped onto the stage, her presence commanding attention. The room hushed, anticipation hanging in the air like a delicate thread. She stood there, a young girl with an old soul, ready to weave magic with her voice.
As the first notes of "Unchained Melody" filled the room, time seemed to slow. Angelina's voice wrapped around each word, infusing them with a depth that transcended mere lyrics. It was as though the song had been written for her, and her alone.
The audience held its breath as she sang. Her voice soared, reaching heights that touched the heavens. The pain and longing in her eyes mirrored the emotions in the song-the heartache, the yearning. It was more than a performance; it was a revelation.
The chorus came, and Angelina's voice swelled, filling every corner of the room. " Oh, my love, my darling I've hungered, hungered for your touch," she sang, and suddenly, we all did. The magic in her performance was like nothing we had ever experienced in our lives. The lyrics came alive and had meaning as they flowed through us.
In that moment, Angelina Jordan became a vessel for something greater-an embodiment of love itself. Her voice carried us beyond our own pain and loneliness. We felt connected-to her, to each other, to something intangible yet profound.
As she held that final note, time snapped back into place. The applause erupted-a thunderous acknowledgment of what we had just witnessed. But it wasn't just applause; it was gratitude-for allowing us to glimpse love through Angelina's eyes.
And so, we stood there, hearts full, tears in our eyes. Angelina Jordan had given us something rare-a reminder that love exists even in our brokenness. And for those few minutes, we believed it with every fiber of our being. ©
I already had asked myself how the audience must have felt and if some tears were shed. Thank you for telling.
Wow Larry! Incredible articulation of your experience! You have quite a gift too.
The true Queen of song appearing !!!
That last note - the sound of peace!
Great one Debbie, you had an Angel ..try sing u to sleep ; )) 😋🥰
Drop-dead gorgeous. Every. Aspect. She truly sang heart to the heart of the recipient and her family, with their circumstances. She sang it like a lullaby, incredibly tender.
welcome back. missed you... and you missed her EP, so... old enough...+ its our time. you are lagging, so catch up😉
Thanks for your nice reaction. ❤
I've listened to this performance 100 times and every time I have tears in my eyes ❤
She's 17 at this concert , now 18
❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉Aj🎉😊love you
So glad to see you back
The way in which the best vocalist in the world Angelina Jordan interprets this melody today is extraordinary, to give a message of love, hope, faith, for Narges Mohammadi.
Nobel Peace Prize 2023, an activist who has sacrificed her family, her physical health and her life for a noble and just cause, She fights for women against systemic discrimination and oppression,
Supports the struggle of women to live "a full and dignified life for equality and the rights of women in Iran, sentenced to 31 years in prison, her children present at the ceremony received the award, it was a message from a mother to her children present in the voice of Angelina Jordan. Mexico
A difficult song, a full orchestra, a live audience of dignitaries from around the world and no chance for an error and no lip-syncing or auto anything just a onetime run through with maybe one or two rehearsals.
NO PRESSURE, JUST SHEER PERFECTION.
I laugh when I see what we get at the Grammy's each year.
Agree it's rotten artists getting Grammy's
@@brianreilly8661 Agree , fully. I will be ashamed to have a Grammy nowadays.
This is why she sang in such a restrained tone. From the committee's press release:
"The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2023 to Narges Mohammadi for her fight against the oppression of women in Iran and her fight to promote human rights and freedom for all. Her brave struggle has come with tremendous personal costs.

What makes this song so meaningful is, Unchained Melody was written about a prisoner longing to be reunited with a loved one. And her husband and children were there to receive the honor on her behalf.
So glad to have you back. Can’t wait for you to react to her EP. Your health and your channel , you decide how it goes. We will be here. Great reaction as usual. Take care.
If u want to experoence her live she will hold a concert in Vegas on February 29 ❤
The concerts (2 performances) are at the Westgate Resort

She sang it like that for a reason.check out the story. Behind this song. She was 17 here. She turned 18 jan 10. Are you back.
Taking nothing away from Bobby Hadfield's long standing 'Gold Standard' rendition of this song, it must be
noted that in this Nobel Peace Prize appearance by Angelina she brings forth the most emotion laden,

What a way to start my morning watching Angelina reactions, The Best, God Bless!
Good morning! 🥰

That might have been the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. ❤
We are 4 hours behind the East coast up here in Alaska. I went to bed around 12:30 but just got up to watch your reaction to this piece of art at 2AM. Thank you and sleep well!
Yes, I loved it! 😆
Angelina went full on goddess mode for this performance.
ENCHANTING
Great reaction Debbie. So good to have you back. I hope all is well.
This performance was from December. Angelina was 17. She turned 18 on January 10.
Norways angel 🤗🇸🇯
So beautiful.
Hi Deborah - wasn't blocked. AJ is totally awesome live. In her concert in Norway when she was 16 I was lucky enough to watch her 10 feet from the stage. So glad you are back.
Thanks for another great AJ reaction so glad you are back missed you. 😊

In 2023, that same girl, now almost 18 once again graced the Nobel peace prize stage and sang for the recipient once again.
That young girl is none other than Angelina Jordan.
Angelina Jordan made history with this performance.
Angelina is the only solo singer under the age of 18 to have performed twice at the Nobel peace prize concert.
When I learned the story of Narges Mohammadi, this years recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, and the history of the song "Unchained Melody", I fully understood why Angelina Jordan chose this song.
P.S.: Angelina arranged the music and vocals for this performance. She thanked the director of KORK publicly for allowing her to do this.

Beautiful rendition ,top level
Great reaction.
Elegance personified.
Debbie, sorry you couldn't sleep but we benefited with your reaction. Once you understand the background for this performance, it takes it to a much higher level of emotion.
Narges Mohammadi was this years' recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Narges was, at the time of this tribute, on a hunger strike while imprisoned in Iran, for being an activist for women's rights. Her two children spoke on her behalf at this event. Most of the performers were Iranian.
We know Angelina's grandmother, Mery Zamani, grew up in Iran and was a prodigy for painting and poetry. We can imagine the conversations Mery had with Angelina about Narges. This performance had to be extremely meaningful to Angelina and her family. I hope all the angels will spread the story of Narges and her mission, with the hope for change.
In 1954, Alex North was contracted to compose the score for the prison film Unchained (released in 1955). North had a melody he had written in the 1930s and composed and recorded the score when he was asked to write a song based upon the movie's theme. North asked Hy Zaret to write the lyrics. After first refusing, Zaret and North together wrote "Unchained Melody. Zaret refused the producer's request to include the word "unchained" in his lyrics. The song eventually became known as the "Unchained Melody" even though the song does not actually include the word "unchained". Instead, Zaret chose to focus on someone who pines for a lover he has not seen in a "long, lonely time".
"Unchained Melody" comes from the film centered on a man who contemplates either escaping from prison to live life on the run or completing his sentence and returning to his wife and family. So indeed this song fits along with Narges being in prison and her two children, and the rest of the people who embrace freedom, calling for her release.
Debbie, glad you're back!!
I hope you revert back to some of
AJ' s earlier years, you have at least 100+ that you have not seen.
Here are just a few that you haven't watched that are my favorites when she was 10-15.
Still Holding out for You. 10
First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. 11
What Is Life. 12
Stay. 12
I Will Always Love You. 11
All I Ask. 15
Have fun! 🤗
She turned 18 on january 10, 2024 😊
Listening to her has kept me grounded for several years.
Angelina and KORK(Norwegian Radio Orchestra) just did a magnificent rendition of Unchained Melody! The perfect song for Narges Mohammadi Nobel Peace Prize! And let’s not forget Angelina’s Iranian heritage and Oslo is her hometown! Third time with KORK, she did Back to Black and Summertime when she was 10!

😇😇😇😇😇🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Angelina, keeping it classy for the occasion, instead of showing off.
👍🏼🎼🤗💞
It's almost an honor to be able to watch her perform.
Hi Debbie .. aparently Angelina was at age 9 when she did "I put a Spell on you" .. and she really did .. 😁 .. and indeed .. she not only looks like a Goddess she IS .. her Birthday was at January 10th and turned to age 18 .. right only 18 years old ..
Yes, she did hold back on this performance, she didn’t want to overshadow the band. They are sensational in their own right.
😀😀😀😀😀
Yes That was the first thing I thought when I saw the first close up of Angelina in this video , she looks like a Greek Goddess and sings like an Angel sent from above. thanks for this reaction ,good to see you again, Cheers!!
A Greek Goddess 🥰
She was intentionally holding back to express the longing of a mother for her children. The recipient of the Peace Prize is Narges Mohammadi. She is in prison in Iran. Her twin children (the same age as Angelina) accepted the prize on her behalf. Angelina took it upon herself to express the longing of a mother for her children. The original song was written for a movie about a man in prison. At the end when you paused it Angelina looked at the children and put her hand over her heart. Her heart is as big as her talent. One reason fans love her.
Thank you, and I enjoyed your insightful and genuine comments.

Thank you Debbie. She sang this song the way it should be done for the very solemn occasion, fully respecting the meaning of this iconic song. The song comes from the 1956 Movie "Unchained" about incarcerated prisoners longing to be with their families. This fully represents Narges Mohammadi who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. She is imprisoned by the barbaric Iranian regime for standing up for women's rights and equality. Her 2 children, around Angelina's age, were in attendance here to except the award on Narges behalf and are in the audience. This took place at the Town Hall in Oslo Norway, Angelina's home town. The Norwegian Peace Prize committee is headquartered here. Just a little info and one of the reasons Angelina sang this the way she did. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
She was 17 at the time of this concert. A month later she was 18.

❤❤❤
😮 welcome back.😊
💯
So good to see you ❤
This rendition was very much respectful to the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, a lady jailed in Iran for promoting rights for women. She has been in prison for many years and before her sentence ended new charges were invented to extend her imprisonment. There can't be a more appropriate song...
Welcome back. Always enjoy your reactions
So glad your back in reaction mode! Missed you!
HOLY Iiish..... LQQK who crawled from under a rock !
Were your ears itching on Sunday night ? You were talked about.. Shakes-P livestream
L'algoritmo di youtube è incomprensibile; a volte lascia passare e a volte no senza una logica. L'unica cosa che mi viene in mente sono le segnalazioni: se qualche cattivone segnala il video youtube interviene. Un abbraccio.
I love you elec waalaikum sembah cina maketa minskalamaha alright aurunia waalaikum waalaikum waalaikum baby
The woman this song is dedicated to is an Iranian woman that has been put in prison for fighting for woman's rights.
Definitely a bit short on sleep, there! Love your reaction to this emotional performance, but … IPASOY was at 9 years old, just saying. ❤😇

Morrissete synger også denne sangen bra med høyere volum og raskere tempo. Men foretrekker angelina versjon mere pga føler sangen mye bedre og stemmen mye mere fyldig.
You should start the video at the beginning. You missed a great introduction. Also, you cut off her reaction to the audience at the end.
Au tant spécialisé vocaliste 0:04 je crois qu'il ya une défiance dans les notes n est pas bien adapté parce que sa voix ne marché pas avec ce genre de chansons c est mon opinion thank you
Interesting, more than a dozen other specialist may disagree. Just their opinion. Also l think you have your numbers off. H.Sunde and Angelina assisted in the arrangement. So it would seem strange that she would set a note, out of her range.
