Angelina is beyond amazing🥰❤️👌. This good hearted young Norwegian girl is bautiful and wonderful in all ways, and so is her bautiful voice. I am so, so proud of her 🥰❤️ . She is a wonder from heaven😍. Big hugs from Norway 🥰❤️
The last time I had a song on repeat to this degree was her 15 yr version of 'My Funny Valentine'. She can do anything. Though I must say, in jazz she is an absolute MONSTER. Love it a lot!
Thank you Zack, so happy you got to hear this Masterful Masterpiece of music, been following AJ for 8 years and never heard anything so beautiful and stunning as this. There certainly is Real music and Real artists in the world and here is one of them. I still get chills when listening to this. Cannot even imagine what is coming next from this young Lady and Toby and also Scott Hoying who is also working with Angelina. Simply incredible!!! Cheers.
I have been waiting for your reaction to this! I am not disappointed. Knew you would LOVE it like I do. Thank you. It was like hearing it again for the first time❣️
No video yet for this. I think that Angelina could probably sing this, or any other song, in dozens of different ways. This is my favourite version too. Angelina is the true deal and we are so lucky to have her. Long live jazz.
Zack. I had the same reaction!! There is literally nothing you can say. It's beyond wow! In a video she said she did it for us Angels... almost like she was surprised... can you imagine what Toby Gad was thinking when he heard this?
It,s beyond words. But if one tries to put some words on her way of singing: her voice is a gift, her way of singing is complete, so emotional - I cry every time I listen to her; it´s a mix of melancholy and happiness. So beautiful....
Her voice is a gift, that’s a nice way to put. I feel the people I recommend to AJ is a gift for those who are affected like we are. Making a friend forever.
I am a huge AJ fan but somehow missed this version, it is incredible, she has gone back 60 years at the blink of an eye. Great reaction as always with this Angel.

I so thoroughly enjoyed your reaction. I have already listened to this version a hundred times and each listen is better than the first. I have never listened to an artist like Angelina. Every day for the past 6 years I have listened to this phenom and she is the only person that has ever made me feel this way. I sincerely feel so fortunate to have lived long enough to experience her insane ability to draw you into each of her song and allows you to really feel the essence of each and every verse within each song.
there is a short video of her singing mext to toby playing piano... just released a video of angelina recording toby without him knowing during first playback of BV...hes so excited !!! angelina has these 50-60 year old producers acting like teenagers in the studio...she was always the adult in the room...
This girl is something else...the best version of this song... She is the best singer... Ever... 🥁 Your reaction is like mine.... Stunned!!! Thanks.. VIVA ANGELINA!!!!
AJ’s Christmas Show 2024 could sell tickets to a streaming live show like in 2021. In the glow of festive lights, Angelina's voice took flight, On a cold December's eve, a memory we'd never leave. Rob Christie's masterful show, set the Yuletide hearts aglow, With a talent pure and keen, like a scene from a dream. Now the angels softly plead, for another show indeed, To warm the winter's chill, with a voice that thrills still. Let the bells of Christmas ring, and Angelina's voice sing, For a show to end the year, bringing all the angels near. So we write with hope and cheer, wishing for what we hold dear, A Christmas show to grace, and fill the festive space. May the magic once again, come through Angelina's refrain, And the angels gather 'round, where joy and song abound.
Those vocals just melt you like butter! Love it when she reaches into her toolbox and pulls out the full on Jazz! 💯🇳🇴🇺🇸No video yet but there appears to be one in the works!
Zack! Oh, so good, those little chills running up & down yours & our spines! Love how enchanted you were, your smile didn't leave your eyes once. Angelina truly is a singer, a storyteller of the highest calibre.. how lucky are we that this is her time, in our time?! Thanks for being you, always. And I too LOVE, LOVE this version.. it's vulnerable & introspective.. so different from the first sassy version.. which I love as well!
I knew his reaction would be spectacular. When he left his chair I swear I felt tingling excitement waiting for him to get back. She is more incredible than I realized - if that's possible. BRAVO 🎉
This is totally my favorite version of the song and might even be one of my all-time favorite Angelina originals. I was wondering what Ella Fitzgerald sounded like when she was 18 years old. Because AJ's variety of technique, her newly expanded range, and her emotionally sensitive treatment made me think of Ella's mastery. And Angelina's only 18!!! My mind is blown, and my heart touched.
This is what Ella was doing at about that age: "While she seems to have survived during 1933 and 1934 in part by singing on the streets of Harlem, Fitzgerald debuted at the age of 17 on November 21, 1934, in one of the earliest Amateur Nights at the Apollo Theater.[15][16] She had intended to go on stage and dance, but she was intimidated by a local dance duo called the Edwards Sisters and opted to sing instead.[16][17] Performing in the style of Connee Boswell, she sang "Judy" and "The Object of My Affection" and won first prize.[18] She won the chance to perform at the Apollo for a week but, seemingly because of her disheveled appearance, the theater never gave her that part of her prize.[19]"
Another knowledgeable reactor commented after listening to one of Angelina's masterful covers months ago, "You've seen and heard nothing yet. Nothing. Believe me." I thought it odd at the time, but I'm beginning to get it.
Not only is this my favorite version of this song, hands down, it's right up there with her 16 yo version of My Funny Valentine. They are my top 2 performances by her, EVER. When the video comes out & if it shows her singing, it it will probably become my #1 from her, all by itself, since MFV doesn't show her singing. Never in all my days have I seen anything like her vocal & emotive skills.
Thanks for the beautiful reaction, Zack. She literally left me breathless, I love Angie and I am more and more in awe of her unstoppable musical evolution, I would never have expected that at her age she had already reached such a stratospheric level of vocal perfection. What she creates in that indescribable jazz version is absolutely astonishing, even for the apparent ease with which she does it, in fact the instrumental accompaniment is little more than a simple pleasant decoration, her voice alone is enough to reproduce the emotional effect of an entire orchestra. What an extraordinary artist she is becoming, I understand well why Toby is enraptured by her talent, being able to collaborate with a singer like her leaves a boundless space to the imagination, you probably can't even think of what vocal wonders she can achieve. Her creativity is simply enchanting and astonishing. 💛🧡❤
All of us instantly fell in love with this beautiful version, this out of this world version, this beyound words version...Lord it was so beautiful! I'm goiing to go off and cry somewhere and not know why.
This is my favourite version -no contest. I love everything Angelina has done with it. Not sure if it is because I am older but Zack is a LOT younger and he likes it I believe more than the other 2 versions. All are good but this one gets #1. ♥️ from a 🇨🇦 Grammy
Hey Zack, a great reaction! Her roots being in jazz shows how much she has learned from the greats in this song. First time I heard this, I was so surprised that my mouth was left wide open. Now more than ever, I hope she does an all -jazz album in the near future! I actually left a comment asking Toby about when can we expect a music video for this, and he replied that he is still working on it. So, we are patiently waiting, but man, this is so good!
Angelina's single Bad Valentine Vocal Jazz version is currently #17 on the iTunes Top 100 Jazz Songs list, where the greatest Jazz legends of all time competes. And has risen to 7th place on saturday (with the release of the Joker movie, Lady Gaga's songs unfortunately, prevented her from continuing her rise). Just some of the singers listed on this chart, in top 100; Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Annie Lenox, Nina Simone, Herb Alpert, Dave Brubeck, Glenn Miller, Nat "King" Cole, Quincy Jones, Van Morrison, George Benson, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Herbie Hancock, Billie Holiday, Kenny G, Tonny Bennet, Diana Krall and many others and considering that she has left some of them behind at least now I think we can say that the song was appreciated by the jazz community. What a honor!
This rendition is spectacularly good. She covers herself and changes the whole feel of the song ! Prior versions were a bit defiant and saying "see ya". Here...it's introspective, with a hint of remorse. Same lyrics. Mostly same melody. DIFFERENT SONG. Grammy worthy!
❗️The Complete JAZZY Version of “Bad Valentine” At 18 years old, she’s in a league of her own. She knows Jazz techniques, which few performers understand, such as slurring the downbeat. The technique is called "vocal portamento" or "slur," and otherwise known as "jazz phrasing." Perfected by, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole, Sarah Vaughan, Carmen McRae, Billie Holiday and also…Angelina Jordan! She slides between notes and words to create a fluid, relaxed sound…Smooth, emphasizing off-beat rhythms, and for AJ, a shift in the accent. Jazz singing at its best!
Angelina recorded the first version when she was 16. I imagine she has gained new perspective in the last two years on this awful, heartbreaking parting of ways in her personal life. I also imagine AJ was talking with Toby recently and said “I’m gonna sing a jazzy version of Bad Valentine; follow me on the piano.” And with Toby’s jazz background he did, and in short order, the two musical geniuses produced this magnificent melancholy piece. Same lyrics; completely different story and mood. Both are brilliant but this one. I’m with you. No words.
As several of us have said, "Who besides Angelina can cover their own song, make it totally different, and improve on the original"!!!! Toby has said he is still working on the video, but it will be released ASAP! I have now listened to this version at least 50-60 times and I am still speechless every time!
Thank you Zack ,It is 4am in the morning here in the UK sing me a story AJ , I miss her if I don't get my AJ fix, watched your reaction twice it gives me so much joy when someone loves AJ . Husky Sultry jazzy masterpiece of feeling, I did hope for jazzy AJ as Toby's background is jazz I love everything she does but well you just experienced AJ in all her Majestic Glory.💜👣😇
Zack, We have been made aware that a video for this version is coming shortly. Angelina shows here why at age 18 She already deserves the title legend. This is insane! She utilizes techniques in this song that she has never used before. The quality of the high falsetto is new and the scatting is very new and I love it. I'm happy to announce that this version of the song has been tracking on the iTunes top 100 jazz songs of 2024. Over the last 10 days or so, it has varied between number seven and 15, spending most of its time up at the top 10! Pretty impressive.
V I D E O is coming. and what makes her so compelling to listed to... ? It's the diversity and complexity in her Vocal - she keeps you guessing... you just have to stick around ... to HEAR what is Next. 😇Jim
This, now, really made you speechless. And rightfully so! This you cannot describe. You don't offend anyone, if this is your favorite version. Many up to most agree. I like all versions, but this i call a Warp-Jump into the next galaxy to conquer and claim.
I used to think that no one could cover Angelina. Not only can Angelina cover Angelina, but she can make Angelina’s song her own-just as she has done with so many iconic songs. I love that original live jazz club version, but this is a different song-and I love it too. Different tempo, different attitude, different vibe. Soft piano chords, give AJ the mic. That’s it.
This is ABSOLUTELY the best version. I was so freaking excited when I saw she did a Jazz version. I imagine her performing this version on the Grammys. That would blow everyone’s minds.❤
She and Toby wrote this two years ago. She played along to get it out, but when hearing it, she thought, "I will Angelina-ize that song, the way I do to covers." This is definitely the best of all the versions. What a musical genius/vocal artist!
Awesome reaction thank you wild bill she is the goddess of the universe our little barefoot princess is all grown up ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ wild bill
❤️❤️❤️❤️👣 This young lady is magic. The things she can do with her voice are just supernatural sometimes. Her ability to transmit emotions is just phenomenal.
Great reaction again 🙂 You are very much allowed to say that this is your favorite version of the song. At least in MY book. This is by far my favorite as well. And also, this version is trending like crazy on iTunes, so we're not alone 😂 It's mind boggling what she can do, and she hasn't even started yet. Not REALLY. Hehe Love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
The world has got to hear this song, I am 72 years old and I cant remember a song ever having such an effect on me, I have to relive this through feeling reactors to see there reaction I cant get enough
Totally agree with your comments. The closest a song had this affect on me, was the very first time I heard Angelina sing Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT the Champions. I guess I've seen reactions 2000 times just to get close to the feeling again😂 . Quite addictive, this Angelina Jordan woman. I've been following her since that, even though I saw her on Norske Talenter.
Only Angelina could create one of the greatest of original jazz classics on basically her first try.This young lady is a genius,we are so lucky to have her in our era.🔥❤️
If music was a wet washrag and Angelina rung it out---the water would never stop coming out of the washrag. I have wondered if that wow factor would leave people when Angelina got older but we were shaking our heads at 7yo. and are still at 18-19 years old. I have a feeling this will never stop, even though it does not seem possible, if anyone is capable of such a feat it is Angelina Jordan.
"Jazz is the type of music that can absorb so many thing's, and still be jazz.!!!" - Sonny Rollins [ Ms. Angelina Jordan Angel Fan's Family Worldwide & Beyond ] Just Mind Blowing Here - Zack... We are all lost for word's too.!!! "We Thank UUU - DD."
I really think it is everybody's favorite version and I would like to see a double album for every song she ever does one pop and one jazzy for whatever mood we are in. There you go, just double the sales
Angie covers her own song, which was ridiculously good, and makes this one her own (lol) and TOPS the original!!! You're right Zack, this girl is not from here (lol). I know she can sing any genre but Jazz should be what she does. period. She's the 21st Century Queen of Jazz!!
She is so good❤
Angelina is beyond amazing🥰❤️👌. This good hearted young Norwegian girl is bautiful and wonderful in all ways, and so is her bautiful voice. I am so, so proud of her 🥰❤️ . She is a wonder from heaven😍. Big hugs from Norway 🥰❤️
My favourite version too, great reaction, thanks 😊
This is Worldclass ❤ Let's make it Nr 1 she deserves it 👍
The best version its so good 😍😍😍😍
The last time I had a song on repeat to this degree was her 15 yr version of 'My Funny Valentine'. She can do anything. Though I must say, in jazz she is an absolute MONSTER. Love it a lot!
She just sings right next to your ear, so intimate, so personal! And you are right--no words! Just feelings...
Next level! 💥

This version of Bad Valentine is the bomb, mic drop moment.. Nothing else can be said. She is in a world (no wait) universe of her own!
I have been waiting for your reaction to this! I am not disappointed. Knew you would LOVE it like I do. Thank you. It was like hearing it again for the first time❣️
You get her! You really get Angelina don't you, my friend. Yeah, me too. Such is our great good fortune.
No video yet for this. I think that Angelina could probably sing this, or any other song, in dozens of different ways. This is my favourite version too. Angelina is the true deal and we are so lucky to have her. Long live jazz.
100% favorite version, right up her alley, and mine. Best thing I've heard in forEVer.
This is insane how talented she is🥰. A video is in the work.
I’ve seen many of your reactions Zack but this one clearly hit you “all over” and me the same my whole body was shaking! So goood❤❤
Excellent reaction this girl can sing the phone book been watching her since she was 7 yrs old.
Cheers from Australia 🦘🇦🇺 I’m with you just when you thought it couldn’t get any better it did, the air the unexpected adlibs 😮
Zack. I had the same reaction!! There is literally nothing you can say. It's beyond wow! In a video she said she did it for us Angels... almost like she was surprised... can you imagine what Toby Gad was thinking when he heard this?
This girl can do ANYTHING!!!
Oh yeah it gets even better with every time you listen to it...
It,s beyond words. But if one tries to put some words on her way of singing: her voice is a gift, her way of singing is complete, so emotional - I cry every time I listen to her; it´s a mix of melancholy and happiness. So beautiful....
Her voice is a gift, that’s a nice way to put.
I feel the people I recommend to AJ is a gift for those who are affected like we are.
Making a friend forever.
The level after the level you thought was the last level
I am a huge AJ fan but somehow missed this version, it is incredible, she has gone back 60 years at the blink of an eye. Great reaction as always with this Angel.

I so thoroughly enjoyed your reaction. I have already listened to this version a hundred times and each listen is better than the first. I have never listened to an artist like Angelina.

The best version of this song. ❤❤❤ I am speechless.
Angelina is a musical genius. ❤
Thank you Zack for supporting Angelina. 😊
What a great, great reaction! Of course this is a great, great performance. Wow how good is this ??? Man!!! More than spectacular.

Oh yes, fantastic version. Angelina is certainly the real deal. Best I've ever heard. And i believe that version is a masterpiece.
She has the biggest kolossal toolbox in the world - and she can just take what she wants
Zack! Oh, so good, those little chills running up & down yours & our spines! Love how enchanted you were, your smile didn't leave your eyes once. Angelina truly is a singer, a storyteller of the highest calibre.. how lucky are we that this is her time, in our time?!

This EP should be nominated for a Grammy in the best jazz category.
Top tier jazz masterpiece. Pure art.
Angelina is 100% "MUSIC"!!!
This is totally my favorite version of the song and might even be one of my all-time favorite Angelina originals. I was wondering what Ella Fitzgerald sounded like when she was 18 years old. Because AJ's variety of technique, her newly expanded range, and her emotionally sensitive treatment made me think of Ella's mastery. And Angelina's only 18!!! My mind is blown, and my heart touched.
This is straight up BILLIE, no chaser!!!
This is what Ella was doing at about that age: "While she seems to have survived during 1933 and 1934 in part by singing on the streets of Harlem, Fitzgerald debuted at the age of 17 on November 21, 1934, in one of the earliest Amateur Nights at the Apollo Theater.[15][16] She had intended to go on stage and dance, but she was intimidated by a local dance duo called the Edwards Sisters and opted to sing instead.[16][17] Performing in the style of Connee Boswell, she sang "Judy" and "The Object of My Affection" and won first prize.[18] She won the chance to perform at the Apollo for a week but, seemingly because of her disheveled appearance, the theater never gave her that part of her prize.[19]"
@brucecumming8803 Chick Webb is really the one who got her the exposure she needed from her time at the Savoy.
@@brucecumming8803 Can you please find a clip of her performance,somewhere
@@MICHAELASHER.can you please show a clip of her during this time frame
Another knowledgeable reactor commented after listening to one of Angelina's masterful covers months ago, "You've seen and heard nothing yet. Nothing. Believe me." I thought it odd at the time, but I'm beginning to get it.
Not only is this my favorite version of this song, hands down, it's right up there with her 16 yo version of My Funny Valentine. They are my top 2 performances by her, EVER. When the video comes out & if it shows her singing, it it will probably become my #1 from her, all by itself, since MFV doesn't show her singing.

All of us instantly fell in love with this beautiful version, this out of this world version, this beyound words version...Lord it was so beautiful! I'm goiing to go off and cry somewhere and not know why.
The greatest female jazz vocalist alive today !!!
This is my favourite version -no contest. I love everything Angelina has done with it. Not sure if it is because I am older but Zack is a LOT younger and he likes it I believe more than the other 2 versions. All are good but this one gets #1. ♥️ from a 🇨🇦 Grammy

Angelina's single Bad Valentine Vocal Jazz version is currently #17 on the iTunes Top 100 Jazz Songs list, where the greatest Jazz legends of all time competes. And has risen to 7th place on saturday (with the release of the Joker movie, Lady Gaga's songs unfortunately, prevented her from continuing her rise).
Just some of the singers listed on this chart, in top 100; Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Annie Lenox, Nina Simone, Herb Alpert, Dave Brubeck, Glenn Miller, Nat "King" Cole, Quincy Jones, Van Morrison, George Benson, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Herbie Hancock, Billie Holiday, Kenny G, Tonny Bennet, Diana Krall and many others and considering that she has left some of them behind at least now I think we can say that the song was appreciated by the jazz community.

same melody but richer harmonies (more different chords) and "ballad style" instead of "pop style"... definitely more moving 🙂
You summed up my thoughts exactly! She's amazing!
Best versjon
❗️The Complete JAZZY Version of “Bad Valentine” At 18 years old, she’s in a league of her own. She knows Jazz techniques, which few performers understand, such as slurring the downbeat. The technique is called "vocal portamento" or "slur," and otherwise known as "jazz phrasing."
Perfected by, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole, Sarah Vaughan, Carmen McRae, Billie Holiday and also…Angelina Jordan!
She slides between notes and words to create a fluid, relaxed sound…Smooth, emphasizing off-beat rhythms, and for AJ, a shift in the accent. Jazz singing at its best!
You should hear the accapella version.
Thanks a lot for the reaction to our angel Angelina...she is simply the best...👍👏
Angelina recorded the first version when she was 16. I imagine she has gained new perspective in the last two years on this awful, heartbreaking parting of ways in her personal life. I also imagine AJ was talking with Toby recently and said “I’m gonna sing a jazzy version of Bad Valentine; follow me on the piano.” And with Toby’s jazz background he did, and in short order, the two musical geniuses produced this magnificent melancholy piece. Same lyrics; completely different story and mood. Both are brilliant but this one. I’m with you. No words.
As several of us have said, "Who besides Angelina can cover their own song, make it totally different, and improve on the original"!!!! Toby has said he is still working on the video, but it will be released ASAP! I have now listened to this version at least 50-60 times and I am still speechless every time!
Thank you Zack ,It is 4am in the morning here in the UK sing me a story AJ , I miss her if I don't get my AJ fix, watched your reaction twice it gives me so much joy when someone loves AJ . Husky Sultry jazzy masterpiece of feeling, I did hope for jazzy AJ as Toby's background is jazz I love everything she does but well you just experienced AJ in all her Majestic Glory.💜👣😇
Zack, We have been made aware that a video for this version is coming shortly. Angelina shows here why at age 18 She already deserves the title legend. This is insane! She utilizes techniques in this song that she has never used before. The quality of the high falsetto is new and the scatting is very new and I love it.
I'm happy to announce that this version of the song has been tracking on the iTunes top 100 jazz songs of 2024. Over the last 10 days or so, it has varied between number seven and 15, spending most of its time up at the top 10! Pretty impressive.
It’s become my favourite too!🎼🤗💞
Yes I agree ,hard to speak to this , Angelina is a master jazz vocalist with more variations and vocal colors than one can imagine.
V I D E O is coming. and what makes her so compelling to listed to... ? It's the diversity and complexity in her Vocal - she keeps you guessing... you just have to stick around ... to HEAR what is Next. 😇Jim
This, now, really made you speechless. And rightfully so! This you cannot describe.
You don't offend anyone, if this is your favorite version. Many up to most agree.
I like all versions, but this i call a Warp-Jump into the next galaxy to conquer and claim.
Angelina was actually scating during this version. This is actually charting about #10 on itune Jazz. Please help her go to #1
❤❤👣❤❤
Defo best version, I'd love to hear it live, perfect co-op, truly 10/10 :)
I used to think that no one could cover Angelina. Not only can Angelina cover Angelina, but she can make Angelina’s song her own-just as she has done with so many iconic songs. I love that original live jazz club version, but this is a different song-and I love it too. Different tempo, different attitude, different vibe.
Soft piano chords, give AJ the mic. That’s it.
Great reaction! Great song in any version! I'm feeling with you 🥲
Masterpiece
This is ABSOLUTELY the best version. I was so freaking excited when I saw she did a Jazz version. I imagine her performing this version on the Grammys. That would blow everyone’s minds.❤
And, she would probably change just enough of it to honor this version while again re-making it her own. Only Angelina can improve on perfection.
No video out yet....this song and rendition is THE BEST!!!
She is beyond amazing! ❤
Angelina’s unique “frybrato” has become her trade mark.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I saw her when she was 13 and her voice blew me away. She's only gotten better. This genre really fits her voice. Damn!!!!
I'm speechless too.
Everyone of her songs is my favorite.
She and Toby wrote this two years ago. She played along to get it out, but when hearing it, she thought, "I will Angelina-ize that song, the way I do to covers." This is definitely the best of all the versions. What a musical genius/vocal artist!
Yeah exactly! The girl is an enigma. Her talent seems endless!
Awesome reaction thank you wild bill she is the goddess of the universe our little barefoot princess is all grown up ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ wild bill
❤️❤️❤️❤️👣 This young lady is magic. The things she can do with her voice are just supernatural sometimes. Her ability to transmit emotions is just phenomenal.
Great reaction again 🙂 You are very much allowed to say that this is your favorite version of the song. At least in MY book. This is by far my favorite as well. And also, this version is trending like crazy on iTunes, so we're not alone 😂 It's mind boggling what she can do, and she hasn't even started yet. Not REALLY. Hehe Love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
Always love your comments! Awesome news about iTunes!
The world has got to hear this song, I am 72 years old and I cant remember a song ever having such an effect on me, I have to relive this through feeling reactors to see there reaction I cant get enough
I agree te whole world must listen to that version.
Totally agree with your comments. The closest a song had this affect on me, was the very first time I heard Angelina sing Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT the Champions. I guess I've seen reactions 2000 times just to get close to the feeling again😂 . Quite addictive, this Angelina Jordan woman. I've been following her since that, even though I saw her on Norske Talenter.
She did something similar to “California dreaming”, slowed down and minor key feeling.
So right for this song. ❤
Thanks bro. This still gives me chills big time even after like 40 times. There's Angelina and then there's everybody else. 18 years old. 🤯
Only Angelina could create one of the greatest of original jazz classics on basically her first try.This young lady is a genius,we are so lucky to have her in our era.🔥❤️
This is awesome! I love it!💜💜💜
This is my favourite too, I love how she sings this, it's like heaven in your ears! 😊
It's hard to react to that in it it was so amazing and I appreciate your comment
If music was a wet washrag and Angelina rung it out---the water would never stop coming out of the washrag. I have wondered if that wow factor would leave people when Angelina got older but we were shaking our heads at 7yo. and are still at 18-19 years old. I have a feeling this will never stop, even though it does not seem possible, if anyone is capable of such a feat it is Angelina Jordan.
Yes I remember every time her audition at NGT "My heart is telling you how much I wanna you" with a deep emotional feeling from her heart ❤️😇❤️
"Jazz is the type of music that can absorb so many thing's, and still be jazz.!!!" - Sonny Rollins [ Ms. Angelina Jordan Angel Fan's Family Worldwide & Beyond ] Just Mind Blowing Here - Zack... We are all lost for word's too.!!! "We Thank UUU - DD."
I really think it is everybody's favorite version and I would like to see a double album for every song she ever does one pop and one jazzy for whatever mood we are in. There you go, just double the sales
Angie covers her own song, which was ridiculously good, and makes this one her own (lol) and TOPS the original!!! You're right Zack, this girl is not from here (lol). I know she can sing any genre but Jazz should be what she does. period. She's the 21st Century Queen of Jazz!!
