Hey Huns! So this version has the judges comments edited out - I believe this blocks the video with them left in! Please excuse it when it is a little choppy after the performance. Thanks, Adam x
Since I live in Germany I was looking for the first video of Angelina's Audions on UA-cam on the night of January 7th. The first video had 1.8 million viewers from 6 a.m. to the afternoon and was then blocked. The second video from the Talent Recap UA-cam channel had over 11 million viewers after 1.5 days and was then blocked. After three days I had videos with Angelina's performance in my playlist from over 33 million viewers, after two more days 79 videos were blocked. I find the behavior of the production company sad. 😥😥
@@brucecumming8803 , Just the fact that you can't find a video of Angelina's audions on the AGT UA-cam channel says it all. I do not share the speculation about Simon Crowell. It only affects the song Bohemian Rhapsody, the other performances have been uploaded. The AGT the Champions 2020 Show, all shows have been recorded in October/November 2019. At this point all copyrights had already been checked and all songs were approved. The only thing that has changed by January 2020 is that Angelina released her version of Bohemian Rhapsody in January under her own record label ANGELINA JORDAN INC. Angelina also owns the copyrights for her version. 🤗🤗🤗
You said it perfectly... she breaths new life into old songs. She has actually said that one of her goals is to give new life to these classic songs that she loves and bring them to a new generation to enjoy. She not only does that, but she also brings them back for an old generation to enjoy in a new way. Lots of these songs she sings I have heard my whole life, but I don't think I ever _really_ heard them until Angelina covered them. The way she is able to take established songs and make them her own makes me really excited to hear the original music she is going to bring us in the coming years. Congrats on the growth of your channel! I'm glad that the Angelina fans have been able to be a part of it. :)
Have been listening to Angelina for a year now. I am inspired every time I listened to her even for the same song. Love your wonderful reviews and such true reflection of her performances. Thank you and please review more!
I watched her at 8 years old walk bare foot to the middle of a huge empty stage. Except for the mic stand and her microphone in front of over 40,000 people in South Korea. She then gave the thumbs up to her sound man stood waiting for her music to start looking about as unconcerned as if she was waiting for mom to pick up from school. The music came on and just like now she blossomed into the butterfly she always is when the music's playing. She sang her 3-4 songs flawlessly then walked off the stage like she had done nothing special while the audience was losing their minds.She is the most unflappable person on the planet when it comes to her singing. So a crowd like this is child's play. I believe that will be the hardest battle she will have is convincing the people in the business that her formula works and works best.
New subscriber because of your great Angelina Jordan reactions. You are able to articulate well the emotions that Angelina is able to covey to all her listeners. Looking forward to many more reactions from you.Thank you.
Adam just watched your review of Angelina Jordan singing Yellow Brick Road! Last time you reviewed Bohemian Rhapsody and you were so excited and sincere! I have to say and I have time and time again praised “Our Barefoot Princess” being Reviewed by you! Your Reviews bring me great joy because they are sincere they are honest they are truly heartfelt by you! Adam you are the best at reviewing Angelina!
I loved your reaction for Angelina’s performance of “Yellow Brick Road.” Like you, I have never been fond this Elton Jon’s song..when it first came out. When I heard Angelina sing this song though...it all suddenly made sense and the music surrounding it was really beautiful. It is amazing how much an artist can affect a song and have this kind of an impact with it, especially when they are only 13 yrs old. It is also amazing that she has that much depth in her “young?” soul to dig so deep and reimagine the story of this classic. She did this while not robbing this classic of it’s identity. She was respectful of the creation and honored the creator...and really gave life to a classic so that so many that would not otherwise have been able to hear. I love that you are enjoying your Angelina Adventure and journey. There are 2 songs of hers that will be very impacting on your view of her as an artist. It is like nothing that you have heard from her and is actually very different than most of what she does. One is when she is only 10 years old and for her to deliver a performance like she did on this is mind blowing for a 10 yr old..really any gifted adult artist would be thrilled to call it their own as well. The other is a phenomenal version of a song that she was working out on her electric piano..(some footage of it is shot). She like the results so it became the final version. It was said to be the 1st time that she actually worked on it. When she was finished she went out and played with her sister! So she was 11ish. This one is epic as well. Especially for one so young. The depth of the pain, sorrow and desperation that she can portray with such a haunting performance is spellbinding. Her genius in being able to tap into the grit and pain in relationships...at this age.....well she is just a little musical genius. Is all that I can say. I’m still holding out for you ua-cam.com/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/v-deo.html Wicked Games ua-cam.com/video/5IAMF4FDfw4/v-deo.html
You are absolutely right, there are about 130 covers available for us to watch, which is insane, but we always feel like there isn't enough of her to watch.
I love Angelina's version. The first time I head it, was the first time I really GOT the story the song tells. I felt every word, she does this SO well! ❤️❤️
I felt that she sang this song to show the different corners of her voice to the audience. And forget what the judges said or voted , you saw over 3000 people in the audience captivated , then the little laugh at the end , was her saying I hope you liked it .. great reaction as always
"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" is to me Elton John's masterpiece; not least to the lyrics talking about the dangers in the music industry. It was an interesting choice for Angelina to sing. And she ended up NOT signing a contract with the AGT franchise. She didnt win AGT but she walked out the winner as she beat them all; including the contract. I love that people say they found new love for this song with Angelina performing it. Good analysis as always Adam! Cheers!
As an atheist, an Angelina performance is as close to religion as I ever get. Her music and her persona represent all things beautiful and decent in the world to me. Adam, you mentioned you “hope she stays that way”, in reference to her outstanding personal qualities. A few related thoughts. From what the public sees, she is very mature, confident, and grounded for her age. Although that is also my belief, I have to remind myself that she is not an adult, as she turns just 15 next year. Who really knows what’s going on in any teenager’s inner world? This is a reminder to myself to allow Angela some “youthful folly”, and that there is no such thing as perfect. And to contradict myself immediately, this performance was a 'perfect' cover. So much for consistency.
As a fellow atheist, I will drop a link to Sissel who was Norway's young girl in the 90's before she spent most of her life out of the limelight while raising our kids. Last year she did "slow down" having turned 50, and in this time of too much news - I keep going back to it. ua-cam.com/video/EFe84U__kt8/v-deo.html&ab_channel=TheTabernacleChoiratTempleSquare Still atheist, acknowledging that religions have inspired some good "tunes" through the centuries. And I agree - she is still a kid (and luckily allowed to be a kid. For me, I am curious to where SHE will take us in the next chapter of her journey).
@@glacieractivity Glacier - I was referred to Sissel a few months ago by a woman from Norway, who was responding to my comment about Angelina. I like Sissel, having listened to several songs, but I probably won't pursue her much as it was just like, not love. I will, of course, follow the link you provided and see what's at the other end of it.. I think our paths have crossed before in comments, probably also about Angelina, but I can't recall exactly the when and what of it, and I'm too tired to find out. Anyhow, all the best to you.
Thank you Adam, amazing and thank you for your reaction. She can sing and arrange. She is so very talented in every way. Just love love love🎙🎙🥰🥰❤❤💯 Have you heard her sing Bang Bang when she was younger?
I can’t agree with you more about AJ. I have started to listen to her this year and I have become a big fan of hers. Love all the sings that she sings. Very talented! And Adam, you are one of my favorite reactors! Thank you!
Adam, it took me a while but, correct me if I'm wrong, it seems like Angelina understands that there are so many beautiful songs on the shelf that had their moments of glory and she has decided to revive them so that the newer generations can hear them and enjoy them. Sure, she's particular but she is so versatile and can handle almost anything. She tinkers with the songs and actually makes them her own. At the same time she doesn't mess around with the integrity of a song. But, when she adds her style, her tone, her interpretation, the song becomes alive again. I think she has 4 or 5 originals already in the open market and I have a feeling she has a line up of new material coming our way very soon. Adam, the accolades she receives about her voice and all her techniques are nonstop. But, there is another "something" added to that which makes us care so deeply for her. Her humbleness is off the charts, her love for people, particularly children and she loves to sing to everyone, young and old. And, tell me, doesn't it look like she looks right at you when she faces the camera? And, the uniqueness of her smile! Adam, she compares to no one......
Great that you finally got here. "That Angelina Jordan magic". So right. The arrangement agreed, is based heavily on Sarah's but is also very creative. She avoids Sarah's use of a hard expression in the sections where Bernie T was critical of the "industry", instead Angelina goes emotionally soft, almost crying along with us We didn't cry when Elton sang it. Sarah made us cry for musicians trapped in contracts. Angelina makes us cry for ourselves, trapped in lives smaller than we had hoped.
Great reaction as usual! Simon made the exact same comment you did- Angelina makes an old song relevant and current. Simon is not always likable, but he’s clearly a fan of Angelina even without having signed her. The rest of his comments reveal why AGT wanted her on the show no matter what. The other judges comments are good, too- I think they all got it right.
Adam, double thumbs up for getting your reaction unblocked. Always appreciate your insights. Angelina is strolling on the yellow brick road, barefooted mind you, but will always remain true to her Norwegian roots.
Adam, as usual, spot on analysis and its good that Simon Cowell also agreed by saying she has the ability to take a song of 50 years ago and make it fresh and relevant for today! Also I did watch a review where the reviewer made an observation that has really stayed with me . Angelina sings every song to someone, it may be a relative, grandparent, or even herself. Food for thought! Keep up the great work you are keeping me going during this virus lockdown!
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ You know, I was just saying to myself last night, "Self, it's been a long time since Adam reacted to Angelina..." In the 9 months that I have been listening to Angelina (every day, by the way), I have often found that the more times I listen to a performance of hers, the more I come to appreciate it and recognize it for how remarkable it is. This is perhaps no more true for any Angelina performance than this one. There are songs she sings that I would otherwise never listen to, but for the fact that Angelina is singing them, and then there are songs that I already liked, where listening to Angelina sing them was a revelation, like hearing them in full stereo for the first time. For me, "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" is one of the latter, and over time I have come to appreciate and enjoy more and more how masterful her performance is here, and how incredibly rich and beautiful is her voice. I look forward to your next Angelina reaction.
You're right on, Adam. Angelina transforms whatever she sings into something new. And I almost always like what she creates better than the original. Can't say that about any other singer. This performance has over 12M views on several YT channels. If they hadn't taken "Bohemian Rhapsody" down, it would have 50M+ views by now. The rumor is that Republic will release Angelina's new album in January 2021. I can't confirm if that is true. But I can hope that it is. Your reaction is terrific Adam. I agreed with everything you said. Looking forward to your next reaction to the fabulous Angelina. 😊💕
@@yves2932 Well, like I said Yves. I heard it about a week ago from someone who posted that they had heard it.... So that makes it a rumor. Except for the article where Michael Astar is interviewed and discloses that Angelina has signed with Republic, I can't find anything, anywhere that confirms that she has. Maybe Angelina has confirmed it on here Facebook and/or Instagram cites. I don't go there so I can't say. Seems like there's been nothing written about it since the interview with Michael. Maybe you know something.
@@wajj1842 Unfortunately not. I'm following some large facebook fangroups, any news won't go unnoticed there. She's posting weekly fotos on instagram. So we know she is still alive ;-) Other than that her camp has gone silent after the interview. Not a word.
Your reactions to Angelina never disappoint. You are genuine and real. Watching her perform unleashes so much emotion and I actually hear every word she sings. She truly is an angel 💕
Once again, your appreciation of this young lady's awesome talent, is refreshing. We who have a similar love for Angelina Jordan"s ability to interprt and add nuance to music that has a wide acceptance (with noted exception) as standard fare from the original artists, just love her making it her own, yet still with a reverence to the origins. Good one once again on you Adam
Wiiii, I am so excited you did this reaction today, Angelina singing Yellow Brick Road. Love your analysis of it :-) I just feel I can not find big enough words to describe how good she is, and what a wonderful girl she is. Her doing this performance, it's just so so perfect❤️
I think that Sara Bareiile would be flattered by this performance and I would love to see the two of them sing duet. Of the four judges I think that Aleisha Dixon was the most impressed with Angelina. Did you notice that she wore a T-shirt beneath her jacket of her 7-year old toothless self? The closing melisma was breathtaking. Adam you are such a little Angelina freak, cracks me up. Blessings.
Excellent analysis as usual. You let us know why a song is great. And you seem extremely sincere in your responses. AJ does sing the guts out of this song. And as you said, those runs are gorgeous! Phenomenal! Thanks for a great reaction.
It feels like her descending runs she just lets her voice loose and they kinda go where they will. Like cascading water or the marble in a pichinko game. She trusts her voice and that lack of apprehension reveals another facet of mastery that she was born with.
Wow your reaction was worth waiting for, thank you. Like Heidi said, the melancholy that she put into that piece was beautiful and you felt that pull from our ANGEL all the way to your bones. 💖💖💖
Nice reaction on this one Adam Angelina put in a lot more runs than she would normally ever do just to show she can do it if and when she wants to great singer great reaction !!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩.
Yes lets hope she's confident and stubborn enough to make her thing and ignore "helpful advice". I hope the guys from Republic Records are also clever enough to realise touching her style would be big mistake.
Agreed. Hopefully the producer(s) they assign to her realize that she should be allowed to excell in whatever styles interest her, and don't restrict her to only jazz or pop or rock or whatever.
@@lengould9262 I would like to see Angelina put out records in lots of different genres, similar to what she has been doing on YT. Mabe a set of themed albums.
@@brucecumming8803 Perhaps they will let her do what she is capable of, developing a new genre of her own. Not entirely Pop, Rock, Jazz or Blues but ?Astar? music. A fusion of genres, a song starts out in Pop but switches to Regae and/or Country and/or Classical Opera for emphasis part way thru, carrying jazz touches throughout. Maybe I should give her another ten years of development. Wow, that's almost a scary thought. That determined little 10 year old at the end of the B&W I Put A Spell On You, staring pensively into space (or other dimensions?) trying to decide why it hadn't sounded exactly the way it did in her mind ... With another 15 years of experience and practice ... And still a full career ahead ... Who knows?
I’m a little late in coming to the party so I will make this short and sweet. Your reaction to Bohemian Rhapsody was amazing. I sensed a great deal of real emotion from you and quite rightly so. Now you know how us Angelina fans feel about her. Your reaction to Yellow Brick Road was also amazing. You commented about her clothes did you notice that the print on the T shirt she was wearing was a print of her when was seven with her long messey black hair and her teeth pointing in every direction. You have mentioned in the past that you couldn’t wait to her do an original. Now is your chance. She just released her first single with Republic. The song is dedicated to those people who have lost a loved one but I think especially her Grandpa. It’s called Million Miles to say it’s amazing is a vast understatement. Still working on Aurora. Almost there.
Angelina has proved that gives new life to old songs. Now with her new releases , her originals , leaves us breathless. Her " million. Miles" makes me cry every time. Thanks for your wonderful reaction. I always follow you.
Simon also said she made current and relevant and you could tell that she appreciated that comment the most. You are always so right on with your reactions and give great technical analyses, too! Thank you!
Well, you've done a lot of her by now. You still have many more gems of hers yet to discover. Ain't it great!!!! It just never gets old. Just for yourself, look up later versions she did of some of her earlier stuff you already listened to. She has done, for example, I Put A Spell On You several times at several ages. They are all different. Same for a few others. Very interesting to see how her performance of them evolves. Fly Me To The Moon and Summertime are a couple others that have more than one performance.
my goodness man.... you handle your reaction of Angelina with such care and respect, you're like a curator handling a beloved national treasure. This young lady really is precious to us, isn't she?
Angelina has released her first single from Republic Records. It's called Million Miles. It's about her grandfather that she lost I think back in 2018. She has an official lyric video on her youtube channel. The illustrations were done by her and her grandmother Mery Zamani. It is an original she wrote to share with all who have lost someone they love. It is absolutely beautiful and emotional. I hope you react to it soon.
You said captivating,and I hear this word again and again describing the Angelina effect.Thanks for another wonderful reaction and being a part of the expanding Angelina community.
Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤️💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤️💙 Whether you are a believer in reincarnation, I find it very intriguing that Lou Rawls, the American Jazz & blues singer legend, died, the same day Angelina is born 😊 Loved your reaction!!!
Great review. Angelina is already a superstar. Although she deserved to win the show, since her first song on AGT she has more than 300 million UA-cam views. The U.S only has 327 million people. The World population is just over 7 Billion. Angelina has over 1 billion video views on her Facebook page. Angelina is a world-class superstar and one of my all-time favorites.
Great reaction Adam. You're really beginning to understand Angelina now. With their excellent choice and help of the record label they chose, and their awesome family help, you got to believe that the album will be out of this world. Angelina's family support is totally awesome. Thanks, and keep coming back. Love your comments and reviews. : )
Thanks Adam, LOVE your reactions! Go back and notice her t-shirt. When she opens her arms to sing 'road' you can see her grandmothers' painting of AJ at 7 yrs.! Channeling her first performance on NGT. How about listening to her original (collaborative) song, "Shield" ua-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/v-deo.html recorded just about 2 years ago, or go back to that performance of Gloomy Sunday? Thanks! Best Wishes!
Said this before and I say it again she is a once in a lifetime telent a Angel sent from heaven I'll probably never see another like this in my lifetime I'm 65 truly amazing message from Australia
Her last note held through the piano chord transition is gorgeous. The pureness and simplicity offset the earlier, intricate and delicate runs and powerful belting. This ending added genius to brilliant!
Thanks for your amazing reaction, Adam. I loved this version of her, so melancholy and slowed down, with these incredible vocal games that really have changed this old song by Elton John. From the first time I listened to her, with the lights and her yellow / orange dress perfectly in the character, I've seen it dozens of times, but every time I hear her, the emotion assails me again ❤️ ❤️ Now you have to see only the last song of AGTC, "Someone You Loved" by Lewis Capaldi, which she sang, in a wonderful way in the closing performance with two of other artists of Talent Champions ua-cam.com/video/0go_TIm4jtI/v-deo.html
I have listened to this version of a Wonderful song....probably 50 times now by the Angel. Can only say that this young lady is a phenomenon, prodigy or what ever adjective you wish to explain her. Was waiting for you to react to another Angelina song Adam, and you never disappoint....Already a Sub Adam and I do hope you get many many more.
Your station is growing not only by the artists you react to, but also by the enjoyable way you phrase your reactions that lets us know that you truly grasped the emotion of each performance. I’m not a fan of all the artists you react to, but I listen to those I don’t care for to hear your response. Keep up the good work.
Angelina's Trust in God as a small child for her hunger & compassion to sing, She's been Blessed Tremendously! 🌹❤ Tysvm 🌹 Adam for giving such Great & Spot-on analyses of Angelina Jordan's Vocals!! You're Truly Great at what You do!! I truly Appreciate You, from the 🇺🇸🇺🇸 USA🌹❤❤❤❤❤
The voices of Angelina, Susanne, Emilie, Aurora, Kalandra, Ingrid Helene (vocalist in Highasakite) and Sigrid have one thing in common, they are very easily recognizable
13 years old when she performed this! It's very, very easy to completely forget how very young she is. She is barely in high school lol and already signed to a major record deal. /shakes head Angie, as long as she has control, has accomplished everything she sets out to do. She wanted to sing on NGT and AGT, check. She wanted to sing at the Nobel Prize Concert, check. She wanted to sing for Simon, check. She wants to be a superstar, check. What can't she do? I'm starting to think that singing is only the vehicle for whatever it is that she was really sent her to do.
The voice of this lady is like ... it's hard to describe ... the first thought that comes to my mind is liquid velvet that flows out of her - incredible. And again, another artist discovered by your reaction, Adam. Thanks a lot for that ! I recently listened to a song that blows my mind in terms of singing skill: Creep - Vintage Postmodern Jukebox Radiohead Cover ft. Haley Reinhart PmJ is known for very good remakes of popular songs, but Haley makes this one so amazing special. I guess you would like that, too.
Just listened to you reaction of AJ again as I wait for your next reaction of her. Your reactions are fun to listen to because you really hit on so many of the aspects of her talent and how she applies it to the music. Each song brings you a new fresh performance....she wears many faces when she performs her music. Even if it is just in her grandmother’s livingroom..or a different room or even a small recording area. She has been known to dress for the song that she sings. Like a couple of songs by recently late stars, she wore black. Freddy Mercury' “The Show Must Go On,” She wore a theatrical mask at the.start. “Nothing Breaks Like A Heart” She wore Country Western......I think that Bohemium Rhapsody’s performance had her in an outfit that she had sewn and her grandmother had actually painted the design of the cloth....it was also fitting. She doesn’t have the elaborate stage settings, costuming, band, lighting.......so she does what she can with her own creativity and her parents and grandmother’s help..... Really has done so much with so little is a testament is that she didn’t need all of the “extras” to be noticed....all of these covers and even performances were her journey thru her education of techniques, performances......we and the music world have been able to see a little girl from the age of 7 sing a countless number of songs in a period of 7+ years and get to watch her voice develop.... It really is pretty rare to see something like that. As I wait patiently for your next reaction, which is coming soon....with hopes that it is “Wicked Games” I just would also like you to know this. I just finished listening to it with some other reactors and they all are astounded at the depth that she has in this piece. I don’t know..but if you ever heard whale calls in an ocean......(This Chris Isaek’s song) but if you hear AJ sing this...you will get that same feeling and almost sound when you hear her sing it. For a 12 yr old..it is.”how can she know how this feels? The depth of pain that is felt?...... You tell me? Genius?
I love your reviews of Angelina. You have a deep and honest perception of her and her heart. So glad I found your particular channel of reviews. I highly recommend listening to her singing "It's A Man's World." Of course, it is mind-blowing!!! :-)
Thanks for doing this. One of me favorite AJ covers. Don’t forget to react to her tribute cover of Whitney’s “ I Have Nothing”. Iconic song and Angelina pulls it off so beautifully!!!! Do it soon! You’ll be so glad you did.
Angelina's clear voice and simple backing along with her ability to convey emotions brings clarity to the message of the lyrics. Angelina slows down the song so that we have time to absorb that message.
Hey Huns!
So this version has the judges comments edited out - I believe this blocks the video with them left in!
Please excuse it when it is a little choppy after the performance.
Thanks,
Adam

Since I live in Germany I was looking for the first video of Angelina's Audions on UA-cam on the night of January 7th. The first video had 1.8 million viewers from 6 a.m. to the afternoon and was then blocked. The second video from the Talent Recap UA-cam channel had over 11 million viewers after 1.5 days and was then blocked. After three days I had videos with Angelina's performance in my playlist from over 33 million viewers, after two more days 79 videos were blocked. I find the behavior of the production company sad. 😥😥

I'm 74 and feel so blessed to be witnessing a growth of a star. In this turbulent crazy world we're living our Barefoot Angle is a gift of the ages.
She makes a old song current!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
She another good singer that puts her twist on songs.
You said it perfectly... she breaths new life into old songs. She has actually said that one of her goals is to give new life to these classic songs that she loves and bring them to a new generation to enjoy. She not only does that, but she also brings them back for an old generation to enjoy in a new way. Lots of these songs she sings I have heard my whole life, but I don't think I ever _really_ heard them until Angelina covered them.

Congrats on the growth of your channel! I'm glad that the Angelina fans have been able to be a part of it. :)
I think Adam gets the same Goosebumps we all do! She thinks like a old soul born in a new time! WTG Angelina!❤️❤️❤️
Have been listening to Angelina for a year now. I am inspired every time I listened to her even for the same song. Love your wonderful reviews and such true reflection of her performances. Thank you and please review more!
Thank you Adam. Always a bonus when you do an AJ reaction. Much appreciated!

New subscriber because of your great Angelina Jordan reactions. You are able to articulate well the emotions that Angelina is able to covey to all her listeners. Looking forward to many more reactions from you.Thank you.
Adam just watched your review of Angelina Jordan singing Yellow Brick Road! Last time you reviewed Bohemian Rhapsody and you were so excited and sincere! I have to say and I have time and time again praised “Our Barefoot Princess” being Reviewed by you! Your Reviews bring me great joy because they are sincere they are honest they are truly heartfelt by you! Adam you are the best at reviewing Angelina!
She was the best talent on that show.
That is what she does best! Bringing new life to an old song .....makes it current!❤️❤️❤️
I can listen to her all day long!!!🙏🏼❤️👩🏻👍🏼‼️
NO WORDS‼ ❤💙❤💙❣
Angelina's is a a Gift!
I loved your reaction for Angelina’s performance of “Yellow Brick Road.” Like you, I have never been fond this Elton Jon’s song..when it first came out. When I heard Angelina sing this song though...it all suddenly made sense and the music surrounding it was really beautiful.
It is amazing how much an artist can affect a song and have this kind of an impact with it, especially when they are only 13 yrs old.
It is also amazing that she has that much depth in her “young?” soul to dig so deep and reimagine the story of this classic. She did this while not robbing this classic of it’s identity. She was respectful of the creation and honored the creator...and really gave life to a classic so that so many that would not otherwise have been able to hear.
I love that you are enjoying your Angelina Adventure and journey. There are 2 songs of hers that will be very impacting on your view of her as an artist. It is like nothing that you have heard from her and is actually very different than most of what she does. One is when she is only 10 years old and for her to deliver a performance like she did on this is mind blowing for a 10 yr old..really any gifted adult artist would be thrilled to call it their own as well.
The other is a phenomenal version of a song that she was working out on her electric piano..(some footage of it is shot). She like the results so it became the final version. It was said to be the 1st time that she actually worked on it. When she was finished she went out and played with her sister! So she was 11ish. This one is epic as well. Especially for one so young. The depth of the pain, sorrow and desperation that she can portray with such a haunting performance is spellbinding.
Her genius in being able to tap into the grit and pain in relationships...at this age.....well she is just a little musical genius. Is all that I can say.
I’m still holding out for you

You are absolutely right, there are about 130 covers available for us to watch, which is insane, but we always feel like there isn't enough of her to watch.
Love your reaction
I love Angelina's version. The first time I head it, was the first time I really GOT the story the song tells. I felt every word, she does this SO well! ❤️❤️
One of my favorite classical song. 👏👍🥰
I love how she belts out road and then in an instant you can see her reset back to her breathy voice.
As always no words for this barefoot princess. She does an amazing job with Allen Walker at age 10 just Amazing. great job keep them coming!
I felt that she sang this song to show the different corners of her voice to the audience. And forget what the judges said or voted , you saw over 3000 people in the audience captivated , then the little laugh at the end , was her saying I hope you liked it .. great reaction as always
So this is Angelina ‘s version which is beautiful! Can not wait for her album to come out! So addicted to her many voices!
"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" is to me Elton John's masterpiece; not least to the lyrics talking about the dangers in the music industry. It was an interesting choice for Angelina to sing. And she ended up NOT signing a contract with the AGT franchise. She didnt win AGT but she walked out the winner as she beat them all; including the contract. I love that people say they found new love for this song with Angelina performing it. Good analysis as always Adam! Cheers!
Love this reaction Adam. So agree with your analysis. A perfect performance.
As an atheist, an Angelina performance is as close to religion as I ever get. Her music and her persona represent all things beautiful and decent in the world to me. Adam, you mentioned you “hope she stays that way”, in reference to her outstanding personal qualities. A few related thoughts.
From what the public sees, she is very mature, confident, and grounded for her age. Although that is also my belief, I have to remind myself that she is not an adult, as she turns just 15 next year.
Who really knows what’s going on in any teenager’s inner world? This is a reminder to myself to allow Angela some “youthful folly”, and that there is no such thing as perfect.
And to contradict myself immediately, this performance was a 'perfect' cover. So much for consistency.
I think Angelina could easily found a religious Cult. It would probably be the first good Cult.
As a fellow atheist, I will drop a link to Sissel who was Norway's young girl in the 90's before she spent most of her life out of the limelight while raising our kids. Last year she did "slow down" having turned 50, and in this time of too much news - I keep going back to it. ua-cam.com/video/EFe84U__kt8/v-deo.html&ab_channel=TheTabernacleChoiratTempleSquare
Still atheist, acknowledging that religions have inspired some good "tunes" through the centuries.
And I agree - she is still a kid (and luckily allowed to be a kid. For me, I am curious to where SHE will take us in the next chapter of her journey).
@@glacieractivity Glacier - I was referred to Sissel a few months ago by a woman from Norway, who was responding to my comment about Angelina. I like Sissel, having listened to several songs, but I probably won't pursue her much as it was just like, not love. I will, of course, follow the link you provided and see what's at the other end of it.. I think our paths have crossed before in comments, probably also about Angelina, but I can't recall exactly the when and what of it, and I'm too tired to find out. Anyhow, all the best to you.
I never really understood this song until I heard her version!
Thank you Adam, amazing and thank you for your reaction. She can sing and arrange. She is so very talented in every way. Just love love love🎙🎙🥰🥰❤❤💯
Have you heard her sing Bang Bang when she was younger?
I have indeed. My reaction to Bang Bang is in the playlist ☺️
@@AdamStraughan Yay! I was hoping you'd do that one!
I can’t agree with you more about AJ. I have started to listen to her this year and I have become a big fan of hers. Love all the sings that she sings. Very talented! And Adam, you are one of my favorite reactors! Thank you!
every time i hear this version from her , i got tears in my eyes. its so beautiful !
I wish I could come up with a word to describe how good she really is! Not sure there is one!
Adam, it took me a while but, correct me if I'm wrong, it seems like Angelina understands that there are so many beautiful songs on the shelf that had their moments of glory and she has decided to revive them so that the newer generations can hear them and enjoy them. Sure, she's particular but she is so versatile and can handle almost anything. She tinkers with the songs and actually makes them her own. At the same time she doesn't mess around with the integrity of a song. But, when she adds her style, her tone, her interpretation, the song becomes alive again.
I think she has 4 or 5 originals already in the open market and I have a feeling she has a line up of new material coming our way very soon.
Adam, the accolades she receives about her voice and all her techniques are nonstop. But, there is another "something" added to that which makes us care so deeply for her. Her humbleness is off the charts, her love for people, particularly children and she loves to sing to everyone, young and old. And, tell me, doesn't it look like she looks right at you when she faces the camera? And, the uniqueness of her smile! Adam, she compares to no one......
Thanks for the reaction, Adam ... 👌👍😊
Great that you finally got here.
"That Angelina Jordan magic". So right. The arrangement agreed, is based heavily on Sarah's but is also very creative. She avoids Sarah's use of a hard expression in the sections where Bernie T was critical of the "industry", instead Angelina goes emotionally soft, almost crying along with us
We didn't cry when Elton sang it.
Sarah made us cry for musicians trapped in contracts.
Angelina makes us cry for ourselves, trapped in lives smaller than we had hoped.
Great reaction as usual! Simon made the exact same comment you did- Angelina makes an old song relevant and current. Simon is not always likable, but he’s clearly a fan of Angelina even without having signed her. The rest of his comments reveal why AGT wanted her on the show no matter what. The other judges comments are good, too- I think they all got it right.
Is it bad that after hearing AJ sing this song i actually cant recall what the original version sounds like!
When I saw her do this on agt I didn't like it. Then it became one of my faves. Every listen brings more amazement... And tears of joy and wonder.
Adam, double thumbs up for getting your reaction unblocked. Always appreciate your insights. Angelina is strolling on the yellow brick road, barefooted mind you, but will always remain true to her Norwegian roots.
She is "A new standard" As crazy it sounds, it's true.
Adam, as usual, spot on analysis and its good that Simon Cowell also agreed by saying she has the ability to take a song of 50 years ago and make it fresh and relevant for today! Also I did watch a review where the reviewer made an observation that has really stayed with me . Angelina sings every song to someone, it may be a relative, grandparent, or even herself. Food for thought! Keep up the great work you are keeping me going during this virus lockdown!
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ You know, I was just saying to myself last night, "Self, it's been a long time since Adam reacted to Angelina..." In the 9 months that I have been listening to Angelina (every day, by the way), I have often found that the more times I listen to a performance of hers, the more I come to appreciate it and recognize it for how remarkable it is. This is perhaps no more true for any Angelina performance than this one. There are songs she sings that I would otherwise never listen to, but for the fact that Angelina is singing them, and then there are songs that I already liked, where listening to Angelina sing them was a revelation, like hearing them in full stereo for the first time. For me, "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" is one of the latter, and over time I have come to appreciate and enjoy more and more how masterful her performance is here, and how incredibly rich and beautiful is her voice. I look forward to your next Angelina reaction.
Angelina's God given talent by taking any song and making it hers is part of her M O. Super reaction Adam and thank you, thumbs up.
You're right on, Adam. Angelina transforms whatever she sings into something new. And I almost always like what she creates better than the original. Can't say that about any other singer. This performance has over 12M views on several YT channels. If they hadn't taken "Bohemian Rhapsody" down, it would have 50M+ views by now. The rumor is that Republic will release Angelina's new album in January 2021. I can't confirm if that is true. But I can hope that it is. Your reaction is terrific Adam. I agreed with everything you said. Looking forward to your next reaction to the fabulous Angelina. 😊💕
Thats interesting, haven't seen any rumors on the net on the release date yet. It's good news a date has finally been decided.
@@yves2932 Well, like I said Yves. I heard it about a week ago from someone who posted that they had heard it.... So that makes it a rumor. Except for the article where Michael Astar is interviewed and discloses that Angelina has signed with Republic, I can't find anything, anywhere that confirms that she has. Maybe Angelina has confirmed it on here Facebook and/or Instagram cites. I don't go there so I can't say. Seems like there's been nothing written about it since the interview with Michael. Maybe you know something.
@@wajj1842 Unfortunately not. I'm following some large facebook fangroups, any news won't go unnoticed there. She's posting weekly fotos on instagram. So we know she is still alive ;-) Other than that her camp has gone silent after the interview. Not a word.
@@yves2932 Maybe no news is good news. Doesn't matter, all we can do is wait.
Seems like she knows how a song needs to be sang the right way....old songs infused to a current level!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your reactions to Angelina never disappoint. You are genuine and real. Watching her perform unleashes so much emotion and I actually hear every word she sings. She truly is an angel 💕
I first heard this much earlier in the year - it still brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it.
Once again, your appreciation of this young lady's awesome talent, is refreshing. We who have a similar love for Angelina Jordan"s ability to interprt and add nuance to music that has a wide acceptance (with noted exception) as standard fare from the original artists, just love her making it her own, yet still with a reverence to the origins. Good one once again on you Adam
No words perfect (I can't think of a description that does Angelina's talent justice) ✌️😎🇩🇪🇪🇺💯 *AJ* 💯
Agree! Only words I can think of are usually reserved for Astronomy 🔭
This is my favourite, it’s beautiful 😍
I have listen to Elton John liked his version, but with A.J. I LOVED IT, Great reaction again looking forward to more, stay safe from Chile.
First time I ever understood what the story was about!
Wiiii, I am so excited you did this reaction today, Angelina singing Yellow Brick Road. Love your analysis of it :-) I just feel I can not find big enough words to describe how good she is, and what a wonderful girl she is. Her doing this performance, it's just so so perfect❤️
I think that Sara Bareiile would be flattered by this performance and I would love to see the two of them sing duet. Of the four judges I think that Aleisha Dixon was the most impressed with Angelina. Did you notice that she wore a T-shirt beneath her jacket of her 7-year old toothless self? The closing melisma was breathtaking. Adam you are such a little Angelina freak, cracks me up. Blessings.
You do such a great job of expressing the emotion and talent behind the song. I love your reactions!
When it comes to Angelina, it's not the song, it's Angelina singing the song.
I have never been a fan of Elvis nor Adel, but I can hear Angelina sing their songs over and over again. I understand what you mean.
Excellent analysis as usual. You let us know why a song is great. And you seem extremely sincere in your responses. AJ does sing the guts out of this song. And as you said, those runs are gorgeous! Phenomenal! Thanks for a great reaction.
♥️.... for the first time I understood the meaning of the lyrics of this song! Angelina's voice is pure magic! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
It feels like her descending runs she just lets her voice loose and they kinda go where they will. Like cascading water or the marble in a pichinko game. She trusts her voice and that lack of apprehension reveals another facet of mastery that she was born with.
That last run she does when singing "Hunting the horny back toad" is prizeless, pristine, perfect, and then some. Gets me every time.
Amazing song and voice 🎶🌼🎤 Interpretation 👍👍 Thanks for the video 🍀☘🌿
Awesome performance! 💯👊🏽
Wow your reaction was worth waiting for, thank you. Like Heidi said, the melancholy that she put into that piece was beautiful and you felt that pull from our ANGEL all the way to your bones. 💖💖💖
Great reaction!!! I’m also not a fan of Yellow Brick Road, but the way Angelina sings it, makes it sound so different and I love it!
I think she is a magician...the music magician!
React AT LAST! You gonna love it!!
Nice reaction on this one Adam Angelina put in a lot more runs than she would normally ever do just to show she can do it if and when she wants to great singer great reaction !!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩.
Шедевр!!!
Yes lets hope she's confident and stubborn enough to make her thing and ignore "helpful advice". I hope the guys from Republic Records are also clever enough to realise touching her style would be big mistake.
Agreed. Hopefully the producer(s) they assign to her realize that she should be allowed to excell in whatever styles interest her, and don't restrict her to only jazz or pop or rock or whatever.
@@lengould9262 I would like to see Angelina put out records in lots of different genres, similar to what she has been doing on YT. Mabe a set of themed albums.
I totally agree just let her do it her way
@@brucecumming8803 Perhaps they will let her do what she is capable of, developing a new genre of her own. Not entirely Pop, Rock, Jazz or Blues but ?Astar? music. A fusion of genres, a song starts out in Pop but switches to Regae and/or Country and/or Classical Opera for emphasis part way thru, carrying jazz touches throughout. Maybe I should give her another ten years of development. Wow, that's almost a scary thought. That determined little 10 year old at the end of the B&W I Put A Spell On You, staring pensively into space (or other dimensions?) trying to decide why it hadn't sounded exactly the way it did in her mind ... With another 15 years of experience and practice ... And still a full career ahead ... Who knows?
I’m a little late in coming to the party so I will make this short and sweet.
Your reaction to Bohemian Rhapsody was amazing. I sensed a great deal of real emotion from you and quite rightly so. Now you know how us Angelina fans feel about her.
Your reaction to Yellow Brick Road was also amazing. You commented about her clothes did you notice that the print on the T shirt she was wearing was a print of her when was seven with her long messey black hair and her teeth pointing in every direction.
You have mentioned in the past that you couldn’t wait to her do an original. Now is your chance. She just released her first single with Republic. The song is dedicated to those people who have lost a loved one but I think especially her Grandpa. It’s called Million Miles to say it’s amazing is a vast understatement. Still working on Aurora. Almost there.
Angelina has proved that gives new life to old songs. Now with her new releases , her originals , leaves us breathless. Her " million. Miles" makes me cry every time. Thanks for your wonderful reaction. I always follow you.
Simon also said she made current and relevant and you could tell that she appreciated that comment the most. You are always so right on with your reactions and give great technical analyses, too! Thank you!
Well, you've done a lot of her by now. You still have many more gems of hers yet to discover. Ain't it great!!!! It just never gets old. Just for yourself, look up later versions she did of some of her earlier stuff you already listened to. She has done, for example, I Put A Spell On You several times at several ages. They are all different. Same for a few others. Very interesting to see how her performance of them evolves. Fly Me To The Moon and Summertime are a couple others that have more than one performance.
my goodness man.... you handle your reaction of Angelina with such care and respect, you're like a curator handling a beloved national treasure. This young lady really is precious to us, isn't she?
Angelina has released her first single from Republic Records. It's called Million Miles. It's about her grandfather that she lost I think back in 2018. She has an official lyric video on her youtube channel. The illustrations were done by her and her grandmother Mery Zamani.
It is an original she wrote to share with all who have lost someone they love. It is absolutely
beautiful and emotional. I hope you react to it soon.
Love her version. Just keep it coming, we will appreciate a lot 😊
Outstanding performance 🤩🤩
You said captivating,and I hear this word again and again describing the Angelina effect.Thanks for another wonderful reaction and being a part of the expanding Angelina community.
Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤️💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤️💙 Whether you are a believer in reincarnation, I find it very intriguing that Lou Rawls, the American Jazz & blues singer legend, died, the same day Angelina is born 😊 Loved your reaction!!!
Great review. Angelina is already a superstar. Although she deserved to win the show, since her first song on AGT she has more than 300 million UA-cam views. The U.S only has 327 million people. The World population is just over 7 Billion. Angelina has over 1 billion video views on her Facebook page. Angelina is a world-class superstar and one of my all-time favorites.
Thank you, excellent commentary as usual.
Great reaction Adam. You're really beginning to understand Angelina now. With their excellent choice and help of the record label they chose, and their awesome family help, you got to believe that the album will be out of this world. Angelina's family support is totally awesome. Thanks, and keep coming back. Love your comments and reviews. : )
Thanks Adam, LOVE your reactions! Go back and notice her t-shirt. When she opens her arms to sing 'road' you can see her grandmothers' painting of AJ at 7 yrs.! Channeling her first performance on NGT. How about listening to her original (collaborative) song, "Shield" ua-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/v-deo.html recorded just about 2 years ago, or go back to that performance of Gloomy Sunday? Thanks! Best Wishes!
Said this before and I say it again she is a once in a lifetime telent a Angel sent from heaven I'll probably never see another like this in my lifetime I'm 65 truly amazing message from Australia
Her last note held through the piano chord transition is gorgeous. The pureness and simplicity offset the earlier, intricate and delicate runs and powerful belting. This ending added genius to brilliant!
Thanks for your amazing reaction, Adam. I loved this version of her, so melancholy and slowed down, with these incredible vocal games that really have changed this old song by Elton John. From the first time I listened to her, with the lights and her yellow / orange dress perfectly in the character, I've seen it dozens of times, but every time I hear her, the emotion assails me again ❤️ ❤️
Now you have to see only the last song of AGTC, "Someone You Loved" by Lewis Capaldi, which she sang, in a wonderful way in the closing performance with two of other artists of Talent Champions
ua-cam.com/video/0go_TIm4jtI/v-deo.html
I have listened to this version of a Wonderful song....probably 50 times now by the Angel. Can only say that this young lady is a phenomenon, prodigy or what ever adjective you wish to explain her. Was waiting for you to react to another Angelina song Adam, and you never disappoint....Already a Sub Adam and I do hope you get many many more.
Thanks so much man! Much appreciated 😁🙌🏻
perfect as always 💓
Your station is growing not only by the artists you react to, but also by the enjoyable way you phrase your reactions that lets us know that you truly grasped the emotion of each performance. I’m not a fan of all the artists you react to, but I listen to those I don’t care for to hear your response. Keep up the good work.
That means a lot to me, thanks so much!
Angelina's Trust in God as a small child for her hunger & compassion to sing, She's been Blessed Tremendously! 🌹❤ Tysvm 🌹 Adam for giving such Great & Spot-on analyses of Angelina Jordan's Vocals!! You're Truly Great at what You do!! I truly Appreciate You, from the 🇺🇸🇺🇸 USA🌹❤❤❤❤❤
The voices of Angelina, Susanne, Emilie, Aurora, Kalandra, Ingrid Helene (vocalist in Highasakite) and Sigrid have one thing in common, they are very easily recognizable
13 years old when she performed this! It's very, very easy to completely forget how very young she is. She is barely in high school lol and already signed to a major record deal. /shakes head Angie, as long as she has control, has accomplished everything she sets out to do. She wanted to sing on NGT and AGT, check. She wanted to sing at the Nobel Prize Concert, check. She wanted to sing for Simon, check. She wants to be a superstar, check. What can't she do? I'm starting to think that singing is only the vehicle for whatever it is that she was really sent her to do.
The voice of this lady is like ... it's hard to describe ... the first thought that comes to my mind is liquid velvet that flows out of her - incredible.
And again, another artist discovered by your reaction, Adam. Thanks a lot for that !
I recently listened to a song that blows my mind in terms of singing skill: Creep - Vintage Postmodern Jukebox Radiohead Cover ft. Haley Reinhart
PmJ is known for very good remakes of popular songs, but Haley makes this one so amazing special.
I guess you would like that, too.
Just listened to you reaction of AJ again as I wait for your next reaction of her. Your reactions are fun to listen to because you really hit on so many of the aspects of her talent and how she applies it to the music. Each song brings you a new fresh performance....she wears many faces when she performs her music. Even if it is just in her grandmother’s livingroom..or a different room or even a small recording area.
She has been known to dress for the song that she sings. Like a couple of songs by recently late stars, she wore black. Freddy Mercury' “The Show Must Go On,” She wore a theatrical mask at the.start. “Nothing Breaks Like A Heart” She wore Country Western......I think that Bohemium Rhapsody’s performance had her in an outfit that she had sewn and her grandmother had actually painted the design of the cloth....it was also fitting.
She doesn’t have the elaborate stage settings, costuming, band, lighting.......so she does what she can with her own creativity and her parents and grandmother’s help..... Really has done so much with so little is a testament is that she didn’t need all of the “extras” to be noticed....all of these covers and even performances were her journey thru her education of techniques, performances......we and the music world have been able to see a little girl from the age of 7 sing a countless number of songs in a period of 7+ years and get to watch her voice develop.... It really is pretty rare to see something like that.
As I wait patiently for your next reaction, which is coming soon....with hopes that it is “Wicked Games” I just would also like you to know this. I just finished listening to it with some other reactors and they all are astounded at the depth that she has in this piece. I don’t know..but if you ever heard whale calls in an ocean......(This Chris Isaek’s song) but if you hear AJ sing this...you will get that same feeling and almost sound when you hear her sing it. For a 12 yr old..it is.”how can she know how this feels? The depth of pain that is felt?...... You tell me? Genius?
Thank you Adam
I love your reviews of Angelina. You have a deep and honest perception of her and her heart. So glad I found your particular channel of reviews. I highly recommend listening to her singing "It's A Man's World." Of course, it is mind-blowing!!! :-)
Next one is Someone You Loved on the final show. Just gets better and better. Thanks!
We are so lucky that Angelina jordan During these hard times Please react to someone to love It was the 3rd in America's got talent
Thanks for doing this. One of me favorite AJ covers.
Don’t forget to react to her tribute cover of Whitney’s “ I Have Nothing”. Iconic song and Angelina pulls it off so beautifully!!!! Do it soon! You’ll be so glad you did.
Makes old songs current and fantastic
Angelina's clear voice and simple backing along with her ability to convey emotions brings clarity to the message of the lyrics. Angelina slows down the song so that we have time to absorb that message.
