    You asked if there were songs between age 10 and 13 that you should hear? Yes, about 30 or 40. You can see now why Angelina is the Girl with Girl with a Thousand Voices. We got perfect 1960’s soul today-as always, honoring the Etta James original, but all Angelina.
    Many reviewers are stunned with young Angelina and want to stay chronological. That’s very hard because she has so many incredible videos at all ages. Don’t worry about the timeline. Angelina will continue to blow you away at any age. I don’t think she’s better now-just different. People might disagree, but how can she be better when she was the best child singer ever? Try some of her covers of Adele to see how her interpretation of lyrics is the best you’ve ever heard.

    Angelina wrote a song at age 11 called SHIELD and performed it on the Swedish television show called SKAVLAN when she was 12. The links name is Angelina Jordan, Shield at Skavlan. 👍 An original song about how grateful she is to her family and how they support her music career. 👍 🇳🇴

    It is not strange that you are at times at a loss for words to describe what you are feeling listening to Angelina Jordan. I've listened to this song and reactions to it quite a few times, and I am never surprised at the reaction to the vocal gymnastics this quite young Angelina performed on "I'd Rather Go Blind", and, as we saw on "Feeling Good", Angelina can pull off seemingly whenever she wants. It is part of what makes her great, and in a way, a unicorn, I think. Please keep reacting in this way - your excitement, surprise and admiration towards Angelina Jordan is inspiring, and quite frankly, infectious. Thank you.

    She’s actually 12. She was trying out her new Neumann microphone, which she received for her birthday on January 10, 2018. She ended up deleting (she's really empathic) the video because of all the slack she received from all of the people talking about her using the microphone incorrectly and also because of the amount of vocal fry she had put into that song. She was only 12, for gosh sake, and I'm glad a fan re-uploaded it about a year later, when she was 13. It doesn't seem to matter much about the microphone facing the wrong way or about her tremendous vocal fry now, right? It's just a fabulous rendition of the song, which will eventually be part of a masterpiece collection.

    • @johnwriter267
      @johnwriter267 Рік тому +12

      Liked your comments... It's interesting that she took the video down, in part, because of comments made about her holding her TLM-102 incorrectly. I hadn't thought of that... Maybe that's why she does a pretty good job of covering up the Neumann logo with her hands when she now occasionally holds her TLM-103 backwards. Angelina is exceptionally smart. So, I'm pretty sure she purposely orientates her unidirectional mics. She had used Neumann mics for quite a while before her 12th birthday. So, she was certainly familiar with them prior to 2018... Also, it's interesting to note that after her 12th birthday, she continued to post videos using her old mic. Of the currently uploaded videos, she doesn't use her new "102" until April after she had moved to LA.

    • @johnwriter267
      @johnwriter267 Рік тому +10

      @@rickrack4812 When you look at Neumann's schematic of it reception, it has a pretty wide angle, wrap-around pickup. But, very little from the backside that Angelina was singing into. I'm sure it makes a difference in how the vocal sounds relative to the surrounding room. The fact that she's now holding her "103" this way in some of her "home" TikTok recordings indicates to me that she's doing it purposely for effect. I personally think that was the case when she was 12 as well... Most kids have a wish list of presents they want for their birthday. I bet she could tell you the technical specs of every mic on the market. Plus, she's used most of them. (The mic she used in "Back to Black" was a vintage Neumann M49... $15-20,000) For all we know, she practiced with that mic for hours before she recorded her Etta James cover... She's so smart and such a perfectionist, it would be out of character for her to make a fundamental mistake with her mic... And, I could see how it could hurt her feelings if her fans thought she did... Anyway, only Angelina knows for sure... Now, I bet she gets a good chuckle out of the whole discussion.

    Etta James 1968 'I’d Rather Go Blind.' I saw Cadillac Records (the story of Etta James & Cadillac Records) and Beyoncé killed that song. How old was she in that? Angelina was 12 here got the mic for her birthday and what an investment. Here is Angelina, just sitting, sitting on the couch singing into the mic backwards, purposely or not and belting out the best rendition I have ever heard. I was instantly transported back to 1968 when I was 13. That was at the very height of Motown probably my favorite period in music. That music was magical. Angelina could have been born in '56 and she would have been one of best Motown Artists of the time in '68 and doing it at 12 yrs old. I believe Angelina picked out that mic and again what a choice ♥👣🔥

    She was actually 12 here, and rumour has it she had just unpacked this mic, a birthday present, and was testing it out. Whether true or not, this was almost certainly another impromptu moment for her. There are quite a few of her singing around the house with a karaoke backing. I recommend Billie Holiday's "All Of Me" (NOT the John Legend song), which bookends "Rather Go Blind" rather nicely.

I liked a lot of other stuff too.
