She can sing that song one hundred times and every time it will be different because we can feel that she is free like a bird. Beautiful, masterful, unique.
I was one of those people in the audience that night! I stood further to the right close to the stage fence. I didn't film but took a lot of stills, which I published on three of the largest fan pages on Facebook.
Valery, You are so right when you described how Angelina conducted herself on stage. I also observed that Angelina is hyper aware of everything that is going on around her. That is evidenced with how she interacts with the Audience while she is performing. There are also the little things that Angelina is cognizant of such as knowing where her mic cord is as well as where her sheet music stand is. I also noticed how subtly Angelina uses her hand to keep her gown from tripping her up, while she is singing and moving along the stage. There is no doubt that sixteen year old Angelina conducts herself as being a consummate professional whom has achieved elite master class level at such a young age. I also believe that when Angelina performs a cover she has the incredibly rare ability to be able to channel the vocal characteristics of the past greats that she thinks suits the type of song she is singing. That ability indicates to me that Angelina has a an exceptionally unique and highly developed intuition and instincts.
I agree with everything you said Angelina seemed to feel completely comfortable on the stage ,she smiles, she sings and she looks happy and audience sees that ., forget her age ,she is just a special gifted person
Let's not forget this band. So tight and they know her well. Angelina sings with so many vocal nuances. She is truly blessed and so are we to have her sing to us and leave our troubles behind.
Great reaction - Yes Angelina's stage presence has come a long way - after the long break both Angelina and the audience were in a very emotional state, happy tears were shed in the audience and on the stage. Angelina has always had the ability to wave to members of the audience and smile while still keeping in the flow of the song. Here the interaction between the songs was at another level - she was very much surprised by the number of people that had travelled long distances to come to her concert, it made her even more emotional. The jazziness of her renditions was very apparent - no Adele covers this time... The atmosphere that evening was electric, the buzz took a long time to subside, now we have so much to listen to to get us through to the next concert - I hope attend a Norway concert next summer...
I traveled from New York to be there that night and did wonder whether such a trip and its cost would be worth the results. I was more than satisfied that my choice to be there was a good decision and I would do it again in a heartbeat. It was a fantastic concert with beautiful emotions on both sides of the stage. And thanks to so many videos of that July 10th concert that have been posted here on YT, I'll get to re-experience it somewhat for years to come. Thank you, Valerie, for your nice reactions to this amazing young lady.
Thanks Valerie for all your wonderful reactions with Angelina always very interesting and formative. I loved this free jazz version of her and having been lucky enough to hear and see her from the audience was absolutely fantastic. 💛🧡❤
Yeah angelina is on fire on the stage, in another world when she is singing, she is born as a diva and is living that and we can see and feel that, she brings the jazz back in our hearts and soul, i love what angelina gift us...and love on the brain is amazing, like you tell us with your knowhow, thank you for all the reactions about angelina in the last years 👑♥️🌹🌟
Hi Val. I love love love your reactions to Angelina. I always learn something new. I did notice that in one of her earlier videos the guitarist and bass player were on stage with her.
She often told how she loves to be on stage and wants to make people happy 😍❣️ That's why she is so comfortable and fascinating with her Performances 💃❤️
My husband and I from flew from USA to Norway to hear this girl saying she’s stunning and amazing it was definitely worth the trip I hear Angelina Jordan Astar sing a person live again she is a generation generation singer I don’t come along Very often That’s not the main stage that’s a secondary stage wow
@@brendaarmstrong3677 🥰 we came from Sweden, and it was so fantastic to hear so many fans from all over the world there. Her voice reunited people around the world! That’s so beautiful!🥰🙏💫
She's been with this band since she was little. They are in a lot of her vids. The drummer is filling in for the normal drummer who had other obligations. Great reaction. 😎🇺🇲👍💯🌟
Thanks Valerie, wonderful comments and analysis , only I would say is, that with Angelina she does not try to sing a song the song just flows from her naturally with ease as if she just talking. To me that is why she has no problem interacting with a person in the audience for a brief moment to smile and pose for a snapshot in time and never miss a beat and flow of her song. Angelina is the total stage super super star as much at home on stage as she is sitting on her couch at home and belting out a tune of Etta James , Billy Holiday or who ever with ease and perfection . We are witnessing one of, if the greatest live stage performer singing artist the world has ever seen ! Cheers until the next one!
Brilliant reaction Valerie!!! It's good to see you happy and light!! I've been following your work since 2020. As a fan of Angelina, I see legitimacy in your comments and findings about the nuances that Angelina presents in her performances. The keen sense of self-knowledge and skills that Angelina delivers in her art is understood by someone who deeply understands: Music! , and also the psyche of young artists and their spiritual characteristics including, in Angelina's case, young geniuses... Your joy and fluidity in this reaction are exciting! You and we deserve the best! Congratulations.
I really just can't with this kid. Those recent concerts in Norway prove, once again, how unique this girl is. She has consistently made songs I was more or less indifferent to and explained them to me so I could see their beauty and she took songs I really liked and took them to unimagined new levels. She is far and away the most spectacular musical experience of my70-year old life. Of course, not many artistic developments have been so well documented. To say I love this girl is an understatement. 😎
I always enjoy listening to your reactions, Valerie! A common theme amongst her fans is how she draws out emotions. I believe that she's an innate story-teller, which not all "singers, or entertainers" are, yet even some dancers most definitely are. A few months ago, I saw interviews with Yo-Yo Ma and a couple of days later, Ara Malikian. Both of them focused on the importance, and difficulty, for an entertainer to communicate their emotion to their audience. Both used similar wording expressing how a piece could be perfectly performed, yet bore everyone including the musician. It's something magical that Angelina possesses and has always possessed.
The band has been her original band since she was very young, so they understand one another. She is just getting stronger and more even more confident. She is such an inspiration. She is now a professional after her final recording of Whitney in August or September. Take a look at it, really fantastic
Hi Valerie! I still really like and value your professional reviews! I always like you and I always look forward to your presence! God bless, best regards from Europe!
Angelina is such an amazing talent. We have all known about her incredible voice, her eclectic taste in music, her unique interpretations of songs... but with these shows this summer, she has really shown that her stage presence is yet another area where she is well beyond her years. Having performed in front of huge crowds from the time she was 8, I think she was never nervous to be on stage. She just gets up there and does what she loves doing. ...what she was born to do.
My husband & I flew to Oslo Norway from St. Louis to hear her singing this concert you’re looking at who is in the main concert is the spillover she’s at now plane ticket hotel room and a ticket to be had to pay to get in was quite expensive but well worth it her voice was a treat your ears water performer
Excellent reaction/analysis, like you said, she is soooo giving of herself to her fans, just like she's strolling in the park with a voice that's beyond great, at 16!
Angelina doesnt cover songs she uncovers songs and gives us something new and wonderful every time . She has with the exception of the drummer been playing with these musicians for years and it is great to see her back with them after this time of her being in school in L.A. there are videos of practice sessions and concerts where they are all high fiving and embracing each other before and after performances so they very much appreciate performing with each other. You can see how she gets energy from the crowd and gives it right back in her performance , live performances have always been her favorite . keep on enjoying this amazing young artist .
Thank you Valerie,I think what separates you from many vocal coaches is your strong jazz background.I don't get how they can really understand Angelina's unique sound without jazzing up their ears.Awesome reaction.
Very present to this song....I agree with you about her phrasing. Yes, she's moving away from being a child with adults in charge to being a person in charge of her performance, more obviously. And it says something, too, that certain musicians have supported her for years. Such a family-oriented venue and performance! Yes, she was generous with her presence. People who attended say her voice is even better in person and that she is incredibly connected to her audience. She came knowing she was to give to people via singing. 💜
When Angelina was interviewed on TV when she was 12, she was asked if she ever gets nervous on stage. She said no, because it is where she is meant to be. If anything she's better live with an audience than in studio. No need for auto tune either. Another great reaction, Valerie.
The first concert in Kurbadhagen, there were a lot of her longtime fans, I call them the Archangels, like BigAngieFan, Rusty Shackleford and a lot of others from around the world. She was so happy, that her friends from the internet could meet her face to face, she shed tears. She told all her fans, that she had missed them terribly and I believe her. Greetings Elmar
Just for a little clarification.... I was unable to make it to the shows this summer unfortunately :( Also, BAF was not at the Kurbadhagen shows. He was only able to make it to the Kongsberg show. ...and I'm not sure if we can refer to him as a "long time fan" as he only just discovered Angelina when she was on AGT in 2020. I tend to think of the "long time fans" as those that were following her career long before she hit the biggest stage in the world (AGT). But she did gain a lot of great new fans after appearing on AGT! It was great to see so many new "angels" showing up in the comments and fan groups. Many of them have become staples of the Angelina community. I see several in the comments here :)
This is from her 2nd concert in Kurbadhagen (10th of July). You can see her uncle Mike on the left corner. He arrived Norway just before the concert in Kongsberg.
@@RustyShacklefordChannel I am sorry to read that, maybe we will meet next year, if I can make it. For me, You, Rusty and Andy, Alan, Chris and a few others will always be the archagels of Angelina for me. I hope it not an insult. Peace, Elmar from Germany
@@elmarwinkler6335 Not insulted at all. I'm just not sure if some people realize that Andy, Alan, and Chris all came in after AGT in 2020, and mistake them for "long time" fans, when they are actually relatively new fans. Nothing wrong with being new fans, but AGT brought in a ton of new fans, and some (won't say which) have questionable motives IMO.
Angelina a une voix exceptionnelle… j’adore ❤ J’ai visionné plusieurs fois chacune de ses vidéos publiées sur UA-cam, depuis son plus jeune âge jusqu’à ce jour, donc depuis plusieurs années… je regrette simplement sa simplicité d’avant et tous ces apparats et manières qui lui ôtent aujourd’hui toute sa beauté naturelle.
Valerie, madam, the gent on the left lower corner, is her uncle mike. It seems she wanted to sooth him, as she sang "Million Miles" and he had to fight tears (I watched him on the videos). After all it was his and Sarahs father she sang about and their Mother back in LA, still fighting to regain strength after a cancer surgery. I thinks we all can feel with them and send good thoughts to Mery. Elmar from Germany.
I enjoyed your reaction Valerie. Angelia in one of her performances said that it's her fans that inspires her to do better. The positivity and the energy pulled from her audience is motivation for her and I see the love she spreads all around.
Very accurate comment. Many times I state that because of Angelina's love she has made me a better person. It feeds off each other we make her better and she pays it back.
True that Ron. What better platform to spread the love than the one that can reach a larger crowd and a beautiful soul to deliver that message such as Angelina.
Love your reactions, your knowledge is amazing, Angelina is most comfortable on stage, she said it herself and goes into another place,her words. We are so lucky to witness history in the making. Love our Barefoot princess 👣🎸🎶
This was my fourth concert, and the growth since 2019 is crazy. Her voice has always been fantastic, her stage presence has been ok, but revealed that she has been younger than 20. In the last concert she was so confident, so genuine, so emotional and so heartfelt that if you didn't know you could believe she was 30 years old rather than 16. Imagine what she will be like in 2 years!
Geir - I couldn't agree more. - I loved every concert I saw her at this summer (including Allsang Pa Grensen ) and I was blown away by each and every performance but I must agree the last one, on the 10th July, was even more special, electric and with an atmosphere out of this world. I pray there will be more there at the same venues next year but that remains to be seen but I really hope so as I will be back without hesitation. 💕💕
Great analysis. I have said previously that I call Angelina at 11-13 her explorative years. She covered so many singers and genre, developing her own style while honoring the original, and sharing with us. With over 100 videos, she worked incredibly hard to lay the foundation for her career, never taking her immense talent for granted. Love her.
Jan. 10th, she will be 17. For some reason I think they are going to come out with her album on or around her birthday. Just a feeling. She may legally become an adult then in Cali. I don't know their laws. Anyway, I can't wait! See you on the next one. 😎🇺🇲👍💯🌟
I’m sure you know her band she’s been with them for a long time, there are several videos out there mostly rehearsals with them in which she has a lot of fun, yet still managing when it came time for her to sing to get back to business
I think she only played before in 2018 with this band, though then both in Kongsberg and later christmas concerts. She had different bands playing with her in 2017 and 2019.
Angelina’s play time was with this band although I don’t think she performed much on stage with them, however her grandmother released a bunch of her rehearsal videos in 2019. Angelina’s grandmother’s site is Angelina Jordan fanclub Mosarz . In most of them she’s about 10 or 11 and she’s having a lot of fun in fact most all her rehearsals were play time for her (no pressure ) especially with this band and Egil her guitarist in Norway.
@@johngaudet285 , all of these videos are from very few occasions only. I collected them in this playlist for easier discussion: ua-cam.com/play/PLddfS789jBCp_eN2CBIoBlrlbqp_Tpzm1.html The first one shows her only with the piano player. I believe he (but not the rest of the band) also already supported her in Kongsberg 2016. The second video is from the soundcheck/on-stage rehearsal for the TechnipFMC concert a few days before Kongsberg in 2018: ua-cam.com/video/aVQcj-y-ui0/v-deo.html The next ones are from the soundcheck in Kongsberg 2018, and the last two are likely rehearsals for her Christmas concert that year (based on seasonal clothing and song choice). All other remaining ones inbetween look (due to e.g. clothing) like they are all from a forth, but single rehearsal session of her with the band. Ok, I am not good at judgeing age, but I dont have the impression she looks much younger in them. Well, these were my reasons for believing she did only play with this band in 2018. If you do not share them, that's fine. Everybody is entitled to his own opinion.
After watching videos over Angelina’s nine years of public performances, I find two unique personas in her videos. These two personas appeared separate and not simultaneously inhabiting her facial consciousness. 1) an age appropriate awareness and reaction before and after she starts singing, and sometimes during long instrumental sections between verses; and 2) ‘the singer’, the vocal artist who has an absolute control and mastery of the moment. These recent live performances suggest to me that as Angelina grows older and more experienced, she may be learning to embody them both simultaneously or to switch between them at will while singing.
WOW! Your reactions to Angelina have ALWAYS been great, but this one is particularly good IMO. You describe the very essence of Angeline here, and that obviously comes from all the reactions you have made to her. I still remember the very first Angelina reaction you made🙂 I saw and understood that you caught on to her immediately, and you've never let her go from your channel. I really can't describe just HOW much I appreciate that😘 I know ONE reactor that probably is going to buy that upcoming album from her, am I right ? And I'm incredibly looking forward to some reactions to it. It has the potential of being truly epic. We all know that 🙂 Do some more reactions to her from this concert in the meantime, they were amazingly good. I would know, as I was there 😉 Much love from Norway♥♥♥♥♥
Valerie, thank you for the nice reaction! I was there.. Norway is such a green country, and she was the beautiful flower within. She was oozing confidence, this is what I often see in true prodigies, when they are in their "business" they are not nervous, some are anxious because they are afraid of people, but they want to do this, and feel unhappy when they cannot. It´s their nature. You could feel her joy being finally back on stage. AJ wanted to be a superstar since she was very little, and here she goes! :)
Very educational! You r right she doesn’t need enhancements/attentions, Just giving Maybe I believe it, With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.
Two things. Angelina hair and the flowers in her hair are very common in Nordic countries. She did an interview a few years ago and they asked her if she was nervous on stage and her immediate answer was, never. She said she loves being on stage because she is sharing her love.
I think she ist able to keep the emotions of the song quite seperate from her own at the moment, at least if she had rehearsed it a lot before. Or at least she can switch very fast between them. This got obvious to me in this recording session of 'I'm a fool to love you', by seeing what she does in the breaks: (note, here the audio from the recorded album was dubbed onto the behind-the-scenes video by a fan) ua-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/v-deo.html
Speaking about stage presence I cannot resist showing you this clip (the part that you need to see is from 3:14 to probably 4:40) Angelina did not stop singing even in this situation.
I love that you Angelina is even inspiring you to post your own performances! Can you post a link to them here? You being inspired by her is probably the greatest compliment.💖
She’s making hers was very close to the original I think it’s better than original but it’s close because I love Angelina I seen her sing at 18 months I have nothing laying in bed thinking a singer singer to talk at two and five playing with a toy insane Katie Paris on well one very good cause he just five but the next year or six she goes into the recording and move and she sounds like a superhero star
Valerie, I agree with you on Angelina taking throwback songs and making them her own and not just imitating covers. You mentioned she's been doing this for just ages12 to 15. The reality, as I thought you knew, is that she has been doing these covers since the age of seven! Wish she has a few dozen songs for me just 12 to 15, she has over 200 total performances starting at age 7 that are available on UA-cam. She has a lot of experience at creating these masterpieces, going back in time almost 10 years! Here is a link from ages 6 to 16 to all her 200+ chronological performances, including five originals. These encompass additional performances to those on her channels. m.ua-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO.html
Then you see is her van to go with her everywhere and you’re fantastic musicians her guitar is out of this world he who are the best guitars I’ve ever seen in my life the drummer is Rex Allen Junior
Thanks Valerie for another wonderful reaction & comments. Agree with you comments. “Tears dry on their own” by Amy Winehouse Live from Angie’s Kurbadhagen 7-10-22 concert ua-cam.com/video/13kFD-fPVww/v-deo.html “Bad Romance” by Lady Gaga ua-cam.com/video/EpdAY4NenIY/v-deo.html Angie’s 16 at her 7-1-22 concert at Karbadhagen Norway. “I have nothing” by Whitney Houston ua-cam.com/video/iX0g99jN26U/v-deo.html Official cover Looks like they even gave her the rights to her version of the song. Dropped 7-23-22. I love how Angie put in some of her jazzy back phrasing & R&B in it also. Angie’s 3 concerts are 7-1-22 in Kurbadhagen, 7-7-22 at Kongsberg & 7-10-22 again at Kurbadhagen. Angie had a lot of fun & so did the fans. (Mattias Axelsson, Vidar Enerud, Kathrine Angeltveit & Trond Andersen are good channels to start with They have some good recordings & video's).
So many singers present a separate persona when they are on stage like they are acting out a part. This is perhaps ok for some songs or even right for some artists, but Angelina is just herself acting the same way as she would if she was only performing for a small group of family and friends.
Valerie, I live in the Seattle area. My daughter took vocal jazz lessons at the Jazz Night School here. If you ever do a gig in the Washington area I'd love to come and support you.
You talked about the picture taking part. I was at a Larkin Poe çoncert in Cincinnati and was about to take a picture of one of the sisters and she moved, the other sister saw what happened and moved to my side of the stage so I could get a picture. If you have never heard of Larkin Poe you should look them up. Blues/Rock music.
This is great! Please do Danaliya Tulashova's version when she was 11 ua-cam.com/video/xhoS5DjDekc/v-deo.html its pretty amazing too! Its closer to Rihanna's version because Danaliya is closer to R&B and Angie is focused on Jazz.
I don't think she's a throwback to Amy Winehouse. She is a throwback from long before Amy. Amy also styled herself to era's before which is why there are some similarities. Too many comparisons to Amy. Angelina is so much more than that.
Hi Valerie, I always liked your reactions to "Beste Zangers". For 2022 as always a decent up mix between young and experienced. Can't say I am enthusiastic about all the names and from a international point of view I would have also liked to see a "dance diva" like Nance, Anita Doth or Des-ray (Desiree Manders) representing the Eurodance period of the late nineties and the early 00's where Dutch Dance brought an entire generation especially in Europe and Asia an energetic and positive message. A message that is dearly missed in these times. Their songs are still on my workout-list and I think AVRO-TROS has done them dirty by neglecting them all of these years....and apparently again this year. So if you need a "energy rush" and feel the need to know what I am rambling about or have no idea what the heck "Eurodance" is here is my small contribution: ua-cam.com/video/Ts0aXkO7nFo/v-deo.html Back to the artists who are on the list and the name that stands out for me is "Nielson". A singer-songwriter that shot up real fast over here and more or less disappeared just as quickly. Apparently he struggled with depression and the struggle with "sudden fame". He is an outstanding songwriter and guitar player like Tim Akkerman and I really like how he works with "harmonizing" voices like in the song "Hoe" with Sanne (Miss Montreal) who was in the Beste Zangers 2 years back. ua-cam.com/video/0_mBbqf53To/v-deo.html Keen to hear your thoughts and hopes for the new season.
I say if you’re going to make a copy what’s the purpose if you could do it as good as original what’s the purpose it’s the same thing if you’re going to make a song or cover you Gotta make it your own and Angelina charlotte summer more Justine Pratt Lucy Thomas is the one that worked with their all Prodigies
Angelina Jordan Singing a pretty close to the original but with her voice and her other one voice, so she sound like someone told you sound like no she sound like her self but she saying it almost denticle to original with her voice I didn’t watch is ROSS and she is 14 months old one and a half singing jazz six to resort in the recording room for the first time thing I who have nothing Italian song he won a mini been a king thing in English as well as Tom Jones she heard Tom Jones and that’s what you want to sing her like she reads it in English she sings it in English and that the songs ever goes back to a native tongueQuestion she asked was was it good I got a put a ask The salmon
It’s pretty closely Rihanna song it Angelina I like her voice is a little bit better cause more emotions in it more feeling she’s a better storyteller than Rihanna in my opinion I prefer Angelinas for him better She’s a better storyteller emotions first then the song
Am I the only one who notices that this hairstyle is not Amy Winehouse? Amy Winehouse did not invent the Beehive hairdo. This is Priscilla Presley more than Amy Winehouse. Why does everyone act like Amy Winehouse invented the style that she embraced, which is basically kind of a copy of another era. So there's nothing wrong with Angelina embracing a genre that she loves that Amy Winehouse just so happened to also love. And by the way Amy Winehouse was nowhere near the singer than Angelina is.

The most unique thing about Angelina is that for her, always, always, always, it's the song and her vision of the song, that reigns supreme......
The girl just happens to be the very best there is and, in my opinion the best maybe ever.
We love her and she loves us that's part of her beauty.
She turned 16 1/2 on that very night in Sandefjord!
Always got tears in my eyes, even if the song is not sentimental or so. Dont why. She got my heart.
I love that Angelina is staying true to her jazz foundation.
😎💙👍
She can sing that song one hundred times and every time it will be different because we can feel that she is free like a bird. Beautiful, masterful, unique.
I was one of those people in the audience that night! I stood further to the right close to the stage fence. I didn't film but took a lot of stills, which I published on three of the largest fan pages on Facebook.
Amen! " Angie takes it back to throw back singers". THAT is why so many of us love her.
Valery, You are so right when you described how Angelina conducted herself on stage. I also observed that Angelina is hyper aware of everything that is going on around her. That is evidenced with how she interacts with the Audience while she is performing. There are also the little things that Angelina is cognizant of such as knowing where her mic cord is as well as where her sheet music stand is. I also noticed how subtly Angelina uses her hand to keep her gown from tripping her up, while she is singing and moving along the stage.
There is no doubt that sixteen year old Angelina conducts herself as being a consummate professional whom has achieved elite master class level at such a young age.
I also believe that when Angelina performs a cover she has the incredibly rare ability to be able to channel the vocal characteristics of the past greats that she thinks suits the type of song she is singing. That ability indicates to me that Angelina has a an exceptionally unique and highly developed intuition and instincts.

Pure Class.
I traveled from New York to be there that night and did wonder whether such a trip and its cost would be worth the results. I was more than satisfied that my choice to be there was a good decision and I would do it again in a heartbeat. It was a fantastic concert with beautiful emotions on both sides of the stage. And thanks to so many videos of that July 10th concert that have been posted here on YT, I'll get to re-experience it somewhat for years to come. Thank you, Valerie, for your nice reactions to this amazing young lady.
Thanks for your insight of the Princess
Thanks Valerie for all your wonderful reactions with Angelina always very interesting and formative. I loved this free jazz version of her and having been lucky enough to hear and see her from the audience was absolutely fantastic. 💛🧡❤
Thanks for hanging around after playing the video and providing your insights. Truly appreciated. (Oops, I was not subscribed. Fixed that!)
To say it short: AJs charisma is Glowing !!!
Great explanation of how Angelina interacts and really connects with the audience while performing.
Yeah angelina is on fire on the stage, in another world when she is singing, she is born as a diva and is living that and we can see and feel that, she brings the jazz back in our hearts and soul, i love what angelina gift us...and love on the brain is amazing, like you tell us with your knowhow, thank you for all the reactions about angelina in the last years 👑♥️🌹🌟
Angelina Jordon Astar Is a great performer and performance he’s a master artist storyteller she’s my favorite singer of all time regardless of age
Hi Val. I love love love your reactions to Angelina. I always learn something new. I did notice that in one of her earlier videos the guitarist and bass player were on stage with her.
She often told how she loves to be on stage and wants to make people happy 😍❣️
That's why she is so comfortable and fascinating with her Performances 💃❤️
Thank you for supporting Angelina! I was there on this show, and believe me, it was a fantastic show. She’s unbelievable!👌🙏💫❤️
My husband and I from flew from USA to Norway to hear this girl saying she’s stunning and amazing it was definitely worth the trip I hear Angelina Jordan Astar sing a person live again she is a generation generation singer I don’t come along Very often
That’s not the main stage that’s a secondary stage wow
@@brendaarmstrong3677 🥰 we came from Sweden, and it was so fantastic to hear so many fans from all over the world there. Her voice reunited people around the world! That’s so beautiful!🥰🙏💫
Thanks Valerie, well said & I totally agree with your comments.
She's been with this band since she was little. They are in a lot of her vids. The drummer is filling in for the normal drummer who had other obligations. Great reaction. 😎🇺🇲👍💯🌟
I really liked the drummer in Jolene better, but in general, I liked this replacement drummer really well!!!
As far as I know, she only played with this band before in 2018: in Kongsberg in the summer, and then later the year for her Christmas Concerts.
Thanks Valerie, wonderful comments and analysis , only I would say is, that with Angelina she does not try to sing a song the song just flows from her naturally with ease as if she just talking.
To me that is why she has no problem interacting with a person in the audience for a brief moment to smile and pose for a snapshot in time and never miss a beat and flow of her song.
Angelina is the total stage super super star as much at home on stage as she is sitting on her couch at home and belting out a tune of Etta James , Billy Holiday or who ever with ease and perfection .
We are witnessing one of, if the greatest live stage performer singing artist the world has ever seen ! Cheers until the next one!
Brilliant reaction Valerie!!!
It's good to see you happy and light!! I've been following your work since 2020. As a fan of Angelina, I see legitimacy in your comments and findings about the nuances that Angelina presents in her performances. The keen sense of self-knowledge and skills that Angelina delivers in her art is understood by someone who deeply understands: Music! , and also the psyche of young artists and their spiritual characteristics including, in Angelina's case, young geniuses...
Your joy and fluidity in this reaction are exciting! You and we deserve the best! Congratulations.
Aurora and Angelina Jordan together on stage one day must be the ultimate dream to experience.
Angelina the word for her is prodigy when the judge is a Norway told her that she is music that I Believe it just flows through her
I really just can't with this kid. Those recent concerts in Norway prove, once again, how unique this girl is. She has consistently made songs I was more or less indifferent to and explained them to me so I could see their beauty and she took songs I really liked and took them to unimagined new levels. She is far and away the most spectacular musical experience of my70-year old life. Of course, not many artistic developments have been so well documented. To say I love this girl is an understatement. 😎
I always enjoy listening to your reactions, Valerie! A common theme amongst her fans is how she draws out emotions. I believe that she's an innate story-teller, which not all "singers, or entertainers" are, yet even some dancers most definitely are. A few months ago, I saw interviews with Yo-Yo Ma and a couple of days later, Ara Malikian. Both of them focused on the importance, and difficulty, for an entertainer to communicate their emotion to their audience. Both used similar wording expressing how a piece could be perfectly performed, yet bore everyone including the musician. It's something magical that Angelina possesses and has always possessed.
The band has been her original band since she was very young, so they understand one another. She is just getting stronger and more even more confident. She is such an inspiration. She is now a professional after her final recording of Whitney in August or September. Take a look at it, really fantastic
Hi Valerie! I still really like and value your professional reviews! I always like you and I always look forward to your presence! God bless, best regards from Europe!
One thing you could say about Angelina ever since she started is once she gets a microphone in her hand she's all business.
❤
Angelina is such an amazing talent. We have all known about her incredible voice, her eclectic taste in music, her unique interpretations of songs... but with these shows this summer, she has really shown that her stage presence is yet another area where she is well beyond her years. Having performed in front of huge crowds from the time she was 8, I think she was never nervous to be on stage. She just gets up there and does what she loves doing. ...what she was born to do.
We are lucky! This world can be falling apart and we are lucky! She's that great!
My husband & I flew to Oslo Norway from St. Louis to hear her singing this concert you’re looking at who is in the main concert is the spillover she’s at now plane ticket hotel room and a ticket to be had to pay to get in was quite expensive but well worth it her voice was a treat your ears water performer
So amazing
Excellent reaction/analysis, like you said, she is soooo giving of herself to her fans, just like she's strolling in the park with a voice that's beyond great, at 16!
Tanks for a really good and interesting reaction.
Angelina doesnt cover songs she uncovers songs and gives us something new and wonderful every time . She has with the exception of the drummer been playing with these musicians for years and it is great to see her back with them after this time of her being in school in L.A. there are videos of practice sessions and concerts where they are all high fiving and embracing each other before and after performances so they very much appreciate performing with each other. You can see how she gets energy from the crowd and gives it right back in her performance , live performances have always been her favorite . keep on enjoying this amazing young artist .
Stunning. The style is very much Angelina's comfort zone... and in her comfort zone 2:06 can happen.
Great, great reaction. So nice to listen to your comments.
Awesome reaction and please react to "Million Miles" from 10 July Concert, God Bless!
Thank you Valerie,I think what separates you from many vocal coaches is your strong jazz background.I don't get how they can really understand Angelina's unique sound without jazzing up their ears.Awesome reaction.
Very present to this song....I agree with you about her phrasing. Yes, she's moving away from being a child with adults in charge to being a person in charge of her performance, more obviously. And it says something, too, that certain musicians have supported her for years. Such a family-oriented venue and performance! Yes, she was generous with her presence. People who attended say her voice is even better in person and that she is incredibly connected to her audience. She came knowing she was to give to people via singing. 💜
When Angelina was interviewed on TV when she was 12, she was asked if she ever gets nervous on stage. She said no, because it is where she is meant to be. If anything she's better live with an audience than in studio. No need for auto tune either. Another great reaction, Valerie.
She was born on 10 January 2006 😉😉
Great reaction! Empress of Jazz is smashing boundaries and earning fans the right way. No auto tune here and thank heaven for that!!!
The first concert in Kurbadhagen, there were a lot of her longtime fans, I call them the Archangels, like BigAngieFan, Rusty Shackleford and a lot of others from around the world. She was so happy, that her friends from the internet could meet her face to face, she shed tears. She told all her fans, that she had missed them terribly and I believe her. Greetings Elmar
Just for a little clarification.... I was unable to make it to the shows this summer unfortunately :(
Also, BAF was not at the Kurbadhagen shows. He was only able to make it to the Kongsberg show. ...and I'm not sure if we can refer to him as a "long time fan" as he only just discovered Angelina when she was on AGT in 2020. I tend to think of the "long time fans" as those that were following her career long before she hit the biggest stage in the world (AGT). But she did gain a lot of great new fans after appearing on AGT! It was great to see so many new "angels" showing up in the comments and fan groups. Many of them have become staples of the Angelina community. I see several in the comments here :)
This is from her 2nd concert in Kurbadhagen (10th of July). You can see her uncle Mike on the left corner. He arrived Norway just before the concert in Kongsberg.
@@mathias61 yes, she also has a different dress between the two Kurbadhagen shows
@@RustyShacklefordChannel I am sorry to read that, maybe we will meet next year, if I can make it. For me, You, Rusty and Andy, Alan, Chris and a few others will always be the archagels of Angelina for me. I hope it not an insult. Peace, Elmar from Germany
@@elmarwinkler6335 Not insulted at all. I'm just not sure if some people realize that Andy, Alan, and Chris all came in after AGT in 2020, and mistake them for "long time" fans, when they are actually relatively new fans. Nothing wrong with being new fans, but AGT brought in a ton of new fans, and some (won't say which) have questionable motives IMO.
Angelina a une voix exceptionnelle… j’adore ❤ J’ai visionné plusieurs fois chacune de ses vidéos publiées sur UA-cam, depuis son plus jeune âge jusqu’à ce jour, donc depuis plusieurs années… je regrette simplement sa simplicité d’avant et tous ces apparats et manières qui lui ôtent aujourd’hui toute sa beauté naturelle.
Valerie, madam, the gent on the left lower corner, is her uncle mike. It seems she wanted to sooth him, as she sang "Million Miles" and he had to fight tears (I watched him on the videos). After all it was his and Sarahs father she sang about and their Mother back in LA, still fighting to regain strength after a cancer surgery. I thinks we all can feel with them and send good thoughts to Mery. Elmar from Germany.
I enjoyed your reaction Valerie. Angelia in one of her performances said that it's her fans that inspires her to do better. The positivity and the energy pulled from her audience is motivation for her and I see the love she spreads all around.
Very accurate comment. Many times I state that because of Angelina's love she has made me a better person. It feeds off each other we make her better and she pays it back.
True that Ron. What better platform to spread the love than the one that can reach a larger crowd and a beautiful soul to deliver that message such as Angelina.
@@AbbieCrescendo I can't disagree Abbie angel! 🌝
Love your reactions, your knowledge is amazing, Angelina is most comfortable on stage, she said it herself and goes into another place,her words. We are so lucky to witness history in the making. Love our Barefoot princess 👣🎸🎶
This was my fourth concert, and the growth since 2019 is crazy. Her voice has always been fantastic, her stage presence has been ok, but revealed that she has been younger than 20.
In the last concert she was so confident, so genuine, so emotional and so heartfelt that if you didn't know you could believe she was 30 years old rather than 16. Imagine what she will be like in 2 years!
Geir - I couldn't agree more. - I loved every concert I saw her at this summer (including Allsang Pa Grensen ) and I was blown away by each and every performance but I must agree the last one, on the 10th July, was even more special, electric and with an atmosphere out of this world.
I pray there will be more there at the same venues next year but that remains to be seen but I really hope so as I will be back without hesitation. 💕💕
👏👏 spot on reaction again🥇
Beeeeeeeutiful✌️
Great analysis. I have said previously that I call Angelina at 11-13 her explorative years. She covered so many singers and genre, developing her own style while honoring the original, and sharing with us. With over 100 videos, she worked incredibly hard to lay the foundation for her career, never taking her immense talent for granted. Love her.
Always love your Angelina reactions
Jan. 10th, she will be 17. For some reason I think they are going to come out with her album on or around her birthday. Just a feeling. She may legally become an adult then in Cali. I don't know their laws. Anyway, I can't wait! See you on the next one. 😎🇺🇲👍💯🌟
As close Angelina of my favorite singer of all time in a while number one on my top 10
January 10 she turns 17 2023 I
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I’m sure you know her band she’s been with them for a long time, there are several videos out there mostly rehearsals with them in which she has a lot of fun, yet still managing when it came time for her to sing to get back to business
I think she only played before in 2018 with this band, though then both in Kongsberg and later christmas concerts. She had different bands playing with her in 2017 and 2019.
Angelina’s play time was with this band although I don’t think she performed much on stage with them, however her grandmother released a bunch of her rehearsal videos in 2019. Angelina’s grandmother’s site is Angelina Jordan fanclub Mosarz . In most of them she’s about 10 or 11 and she’s having a lot of fun in fact most all her rehearsals were play time for her (no pressure ) especially with this band and Egil her guitarist in Norway.
@@johngaudet285 , all of these videos are from very few occasions only. I collected them in this playlist for easier discussion: ua-cam.com/play/PLddfS789jBCp_eN2CBIoBlrlbqp_Tpzm1.html
The first one shows her only with the piano player. I believe he (but not the rest of the band) also already supported her in Kongsberg 2016.
The second video is from the soundcheck/on-stage rehearsal for the TechnipFMC concert a few days before Kongsberg in 2018: ua-cam.com/video/aVQcj-y-ui0/v-deo.html
The next ones are from the soundcheck in Kongsberg 2018, and the last two are likely rehearsals for her Christmas concert that year (based on seasonal clothing and song choice). All other remaining ones inbetween look (due to e.g. clothing) like they are all from a forth, but single rehearsal session of her with the band.
Ok, I am not good at judgeing age, but I dont have the impression she looks much younger in them.
Well, these were my reasons for believing she did only play with this band in 2018. If you do not share them, that's fine. Everybody is entitled to his own opinion.
After watching videos over Angelina’s nine years of public performances, I find two unique personas in her videos. These two personas appeared separate and not simultaneously inhabiting her facial consciousness. 1) an age appropriate awareness and reaction before and after she starts singing, and sometimes during long instrumental sections between verses; and 2) ‘the singer’, the vocal artist who has an absolute control and mastery of the moment.
These recent live performances suggest to me that as Angelina grows older and more experienced, she may be learning to embody them both simultaneously or to switch between them at will while singing.
WOW! Your reactions to Angelina have ALWAYS been great, but this one is particularly good IMO. You describe the very essence of Angeline here, and that obviously comes from all the reactions you have made to her. I still remember the very first Angelina reaction you made🙂 I saw and understood that you caught on to her immediately, and you've never let her go from your channel. I really can't describe just HOW much I appreciate that😘 I know ONE reactor that probably is going to buy that upcoming album from her, am I right ? And I'm incredibly looking forward to some reactions to it. It has the potential of being truly epic. We all know that 🙂 Do some more reactions to her from this concert in the meantime, they were amazingly good. I would know, as I was there 😉 Much love from Norway♥♥♥♥♥
Valerie, thank you for the nice reaction! I was there.. Norway is such a green country, and she was the beautiful flower within. She was oozing confidence, this is what I often see in true prodigies, when they are in their "business" they are not nervous, some are anxious because they are afraid of people, but they want to do this, and feel unhappy when they cannot. It´s their nature. You could feel her joy being finally back on stage. AJ wanted to be a superstar since she was very little, and here she goes! :)
Very educational! You r right she doesn’t need enhancements/attentions, Just giving
Maybe I believe it,
With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.
Two things. Angelina hair and the flowers in her hair are very common in Nordic countries. She did an interview a few years ago and they asked her if she was nervous on stage and her immediate answer was, never. She said she loves being on stage because she is sharing her love.
I think she ist able to keep the emotions of the song quite seperate from her own at the moment, at least if she had rehearsed it a lot before. Or at least she can switch very fast between them. This got obvious to me in this recording session of 'I'm a fool to love you', by seeing what she does in the breaks: (note, here the audio from the recorded album was dubbed onto the behind-the-scenes video by a fan) ua-cam.com/video/SGx0djXTXQk/v-deo.html
Speaking about stage presence I cannot resist showing you this clip (the part that you need to see is from 3:14 to probably 4:40) Angelina did not stop singing even in this situation.
I love that you Angelina is even inspiring you to post your own performances! Can you post a link to them here? You being inspired by her is probably the greatest compliment.💖
How about doing some older performances of Angelina for example she was 9 years old in James Brown's song "I feel good"🦶🦶👑🗣🎙🎷
She’s making hers was very close to the original I think it’s better than original but it’s close because I love Angelina I seen her sing at 18 months I have nothing laying in bed thinking a singer singer to talk at two and five playing with a toy insane Katie Paris on well one very good cause he just five but the next year or six she goes into the recording and move and she sounds like a superhero star
Valerie, I agree with you on Angelina taking throwback songs and making them her own and not just imitating covers. You mentioned she's been doing this for just ages12 to 15. The reality, as I thought you knew, is that she has been doing these covers since the age of seven! Wish she has a few dozen songs for me just 12 to 15, she has over 200 total performances starting at age 7 that are available on UA-cam. She has a lot of experience at creating these masterpieces, going back in time almost 10 years!
Here is a link from ages 6 to 16 to all her 200+ chronological performances, including five originals. These encompass additional performances to those on her channels.

🤩👍👍 ...😍😍
Then you see is her van to go with her everywhere and you’re fantastic musicians her guitar is out of this world he who are the best guitars I’ve ever seen in my life the drummer is Rex Allen Junior
Thanks Valerie for another wonderful reaction & comments. Agree with you comments.

Looks like they even gave her the rights to her version of the song. Dropped 7-23-22. I love
how Angie put in some of her jazzy back phrasing & R&B in it also.
Angie’s 3 concerts are 7-1-22 in Kurbadhagen, 7-7-22 at Kongsberg & 7-10-22 again at Kurbadhagen. Angie had a lot of fun & so did the fans. (Mattias Axelsson, Vidar
Enerud, Kathrine Angeltveit & Trond Andersen are good channels to start with
They have some good recordings & video's).
So many singers present a separate persona when they are on stage like they are acting out a part. This is perhaps ok for some songs or even right for some artists, but Angelina is just herself acting the same way as she would if she was only performing for a small group of family and friends.
Valerie, I live in the Seattle area. My daughter took vocal jazz lessons at the Jazz Night School here. If you ever do a gig in the Washington area I'd love to come and support you.
You talked about the picture taking part. I was at a Larkin Poe çoncert in Cincinnati and was about to take a picture of one of the sisters and she moved, the other sister saw what happened and moved to my side of the stage so I could get a picture. If you have never heard of Larkin Poe you should look them up. Blues/Rock music.
Angelina Jordan Astar turned 17 on 10 January 2023
Lotta similarities between that song and write a song but I feel Angelinas it’s just much better
You should react to so will I 100 billion x tayas version!!!
This is great! Please do Danaliya Tulashova's version when she was 11 ua-cam.com/video/xhoS5DjDekc/v-deo.html its pretty amazing too! Its closer to Rihanna's version because Danaliya is closer to R&B and Angie is focused on Jazz.
I don't think she's a throwback to Amy Winehouse. She is a throwback from long before Amy. Amy also styled herself to era's before which is why there are some similarities. Too many comparisons to Amy. Angelina is so much more than that.
Hi Valerie, I always liked your reactions to "Beste Zangers".
For 2022 as always a decent up mix between young and experienced. Can't say I am enthusiastic about all the names and from a international point of view I would have also liked to see a "dance diva" like Nance, Anita Doth or Des-ray (Desiree Manders) representing the Eurodance period of the late nineties and the early 00's where Dutch Dance brought an entire generation especially in Europe and Asia an energetic and positive message. A message that is dearly missed in these times. Their songs are still on my workout-list and I think AVRO-TROS has done them dirty by neglecting them all of these years....and apparently again this year. So if you need a "energy rush" and feel the need to know what I am rambling about or have no idea what the heck "Eurodance" is here is my small contribution:
ua-cam.com/video/Ts0aXkO7nFo/v-deo.html
Back to the artists who are on the list and the name that stands out for me is "Nielson". A singer-songwriter that shot up real fast over here and more or less disappeared just as quickly. Apparently he struggled with depression and the struggle with "sudden fame". He is an outstanding songwriter and guitar player like Tim Akkerman and I really like how he works with "harmonizing" voices like in the song "Hoe" with Sanne (Miss Montreal) who was in the Beste Zangers 2 years back.

Keen to hear your thoughts and hopes for the new season.
Please look at mood video revelation by Diana Ankudinova
I say if you’re going to make a copy what’s the purpose if you could do it as good as original what’s the purpose it’s the same thing if you’re going to make a song or cover you Gotta make it your own and Angelina charlotte summer more Justine Pratt Lucy Thomas is the one that worked with their all Prodigies
AJ on my brain. AJ > Rianna
Angelina Jordan Singing a pretty close to the original but with her voice and her other one voice, so she sound like someone told you sound like no she sound like her self but she saying it almost denticle to original with her voice I didn’t watch is ROSS and she is 14 months old one and a half singing jazz six to resort in the recording room for the first time thing I who have nothing Italian song he won a mini been a king thing in English as well as Tom Jones she heard Tom Jones and that’s what you want to sing her like she reads it in English she sings it in English and that the songs ever goes back to a native tongueQuestion she asked was was it good I got a put a ask The salmon
It’s pretty closely Rihanna song it Angelina I like her voice is a little bit better cause more emotions in it more feeling she’s a better storyteller than Rihanna in my opinion I prefer Angelinas for him better She’s a better storyteller emotions first then the song
Am I the only one who notices that this hairstyle is not Amy Winehouse? Amy Winehouse did not invent the Beehive hairdo. This is Priscilla Presley more than Amy Winehouse. Why does everyone act like Amy Winehouse invented the style that she embraced, which is basically kind of a copy of another era. So there's nothing wrong with Angelina embracing a genre that she loves that Amy Winehouse just so happened to also love. And by the way Amy Winehouse was nowhere near the singer than Angelina is.
