The vast number of reactors never notice that Angelina is wearing blue sued boots. That fact is made clear in the scene where Angelina is sitting on the couch.
blaster When she's sitting on the couch, your eye gets tricked by the lighting and shadows. She's not wearing blue suede boots!....Go to the original video, full screen. Click the settings icon to change the playback speed to .5 Then at about :21, just before she pulls off the sheet from the piano, what do you see on her feet?
Sabina, In the beginning credits it shows that Mery Zamani is the executive producer. Mery is Angelina’s grandmother, whom also happens to be Angelina greatest creative influence. The two smallest children are her uncle Michael’s daughters. Michael is also Angelina’s manager. The older child is Angelina’s sister, Juliette. The children were incorporated to represent the evolution of Angelina’s chronological development. Everything about this production, from the cinematic beauty, musical arrangement, Angelina’s vocal performance, pianist, Rob Christie’s brilliant accompaniment and Angelina’s period correct appearance pay homage to Elvis and his wife Pricilla’s bee hive hair style. It’s not a stretch to think that Elvis would have been very impressed with this performance. There is gold. There is platinum. There is diamond. Then there is, Angelina whom is a very rare and precious gem. I’ve always said that Angelina’s voice has a healing affect on us. Get well.
@@sabina1118 , great reaction, and hope you recover fully very soon! There's a lot of intentional symbolism here -- the black leather suit pays tribute to Elvis' black leather performance in his "1968 Comeback Special," along with the red guitar he used in part of that production. The beehive hair is a tribute to Priscilla Presley (and the trend among ladies of that era). Taking the sheets off the antiques -- first the chair, then the mirror, then the piano -- was, I believe, her way of saying, "Take a seat; let me take you through the looking glass into the past; and listen to me honor a legend with my song." The red suit of Rob Christie, pianist and 2-time Grammy winner (executive at Republic Records) is reminiscent of the red often worn by Elvis' musicians. The young girls symbolize the progression of Angelina from babyhood (literally!) to toddler to young pre-teen, to the present (with the customary white dresses she wore in many of her earlier performances), surrounded by, and learning from the classics (portrayed by the antiques) and classical artists of the past up to the present. Coming into the shop clicking those boots on the floor with "attitude", but then singing in her bare feet, I feel that she's saying, "Okay, I've come to "Take care of business" (Elvis' motto), but then humbly does it with the powerful, yet sweet delivery while honoring her vow to never wear shoes in a performance until all the impoverished children of the world have shoes and other necessities of life! Take care of yourself, Sabina! P.S. -- She is currently on tour in her homeland of Norway after being unable to give live concerts for three years. There are many videos of these outdoor performances that have inundated UA-cam in the past several days. Hope you can react to some (especially her performances in her first concert at "Allsang pa Grensen" annual festival at the Norwegian-Swedish border castle fortress. She sang "I Have Nothing" and her version of "Bohemian Rhapsody"! Stunning!
Great to see you!!! Sorry you're 🤒😷🤕.. Yes, Angelina knows that excellence is in the details, her Grandma Mery was the executive producer, what a pairing of artists!! The hairstyle is called "The Beehive" popular back then and Priscilla sported it often. Angelina is blessed with the ability to finds emotions she's yet experienced, she interprets the lyrics as almost a plea... And genius ornament of speaking with a whisper "You know I'd never lie to you". She makes you marvel, makes tears well up in your eyes, and after a deep breath you have to smile when you feel like she just strung stars around your heart ... What a blessing and LIGHT she is in this world!! PEACE!!
AJ plays guitar, keyboard/piano, violin and flute. Don’t forget she writes music and was the youngest author in Norway to publish a book. No loud band, no light show, no dancers, just two instruments to accompany the MAGIC that Angelina Jordan brings like no one else can. At 7 she was killing us, at 16 she is taking us places we have never been. What a glorious production, praise to everyone involved, so perfect for Angelina Jordan she rules the universe with her talent. Again, the great talent of Rob Christie playing the piano. The Cinemaphotography, a total MASTERPIECE, Excellent ART Cole McCarthy! Great touch, the cousins and sister get a cameo. Mery, you should be so proud, AJ's grandma produced this. (This red guitar is identical to the one Elvis played in his 1968 concert on TV.) Oh, the tears, and loss of breath, she is like no other in the universe. Here is a classic example of what this ethereal talent, Angelina Jordan, can achieve she takes a mundane song and turns it in to phenomenal classic. Angelina at 16 is the MASTER of her universe, she is top priority for both Stargate, and AJ's voice has been unique since she was 7 years old and now at 16, she controls us as an audience, leaving us hang on every word and phrase. She has written a number of songs.
Angelina‘s grandmother was the executive producer of this video. The young girls are her cousins and another family member owns the antique store. Angelina pays tribute to Elvis by wearing leather, blue suede boots that can be seen when she’s sitting on the loveseat, and she wore her hair the way Priscilla Presley did when she was married to Elvis. Also, I read somewhere that the guitar she used was actually Elvis’ on loan to her for this video ♥️🇨🇦♥️
No way that this was the piano used to record this song. Such deep tone! Beautiful. Everything in this video is a tribute to Elvis: the black suit, the guitar, the taking the covers off the furniture and on and on. Her voice is like melted double deep chocolate fudge! Love you Sabina! Be well!
Hey sweet girl! Drink loads of tea and fluids. So sorry Covid got you again! Rest and get well quickly! It's summer, and AJ is performing at festivals in Norway currently. There will be so many new things to react to shortly. I agree - the depth and strength in AJ's incredible tone has improved significantly over the past year or so. And she's still only 16. Incredible. I got a solid set of goosebumps starting with her first note, all the way through this to the end. She tells the story of this song in such a unique way - in almost a pleading, whisper at times. So moving. Suspicion is a relationship destroyer. But, you can't help but believe her - she's never lied to you. I can't stop listening to this one... Get well soon, hun! Thank you for your reaction! xo
The direction is amazing. Notice how Angelina's every position is part of the Elvis guitar playing rocker era, from the initial walkon, then guitar to the rear, then guitar slung on hip gunslinger style to the position changes as she strums the guitar. Her facial expression showing disappointment "... when you don't believe a word I say", is heart wrenching and produces ten times more meaning and emotion than anyone else, including Elvis. EVERY move, expression, word and position is on point.
A Norwegian lady I think. Her voice is more akin to someone who is older but with considerable tone and style…tone and style that really suited this songs arrangement. What a beautiful start musically to a Sunday morning. Sabina..a look of awe and wonder during the performance..loved it.
She is! And I totally agree, she is what I like to call an old soul! Such a stunning cover and Thank you, Chris! Glad to contribute to the good Sunday mood! 😍💃🏻
I really hope you feel better. You are my favorite reactor. I Ioked the if this singing thing doesn't work out LOL she could be a supermodel! She sang "I have nothing recently in Norway. She is so beautiful and tall! Thanks again!
Like you, I adore this young lady's voice. She is an incredible talent. I find it strange that she is not as well known as one would think. She is something very special, for sure. This cover is better that the original, in my opinion!
My interpretation of the symbolism of this music video: First, and foremost; Angelina Jordan at 16 is the epitome of a Storytelling ARTIST, and she has the ability to take us by the hand and lead us down an imaginary path that we visualize as reality. The remarkable fact is that we experience this in each of her performances. In this video we see her as a married woman in her mid to late 20s. As AJ sings the phrase “Were caught in a trap, I can’t walk out” we see 3 small children, this to me is a marriage where the children come first. If it were AJ by herself, she would not stay in a relation without trust.
Yeah! She’s something special, isn’t she? Pure Velvet Perfection! This vocal arrangement was all Angelina, I have no doubt in collaboration with a stellar team including Rob Christie & Mery Zamani her Grandmother. She is a Master Storyteller. The video is shot in the same Antique Store that she did 'My Funny Valentine' on Valentine’s Day. I believe it is in LA near her home. I believe the girls in the video represent Angelina's Journey from infancy to present through the classics of music history. Thus the Antique store, She grew up studying and performing these classics. Did you notice that right foot raise it''s heal to cradle the guitar a couple of times in the performance. I was waiting for her to throw in a little shake to it in homage to the King. Could that have been intentional? That is Rob Christie on piano. Sister Juliette and a couple of Uncle Michael's Babies. I think that makes them cousins not nieces. Full Black Leather Bodysuit, the guitar from his concert in 68 and the hair a homage to Priscilla Presley. Yeah! She can bring tears to your eyes. Epic. Incredible. There are no words. Epic! Wow, Wow, Wow! Could it be more Beautiful? ♥👣👸🏻🎷 Yeah she doing a Concert in Norway this month! Album to drop soon! So much to look forward to.♥👣👸🏻🎷
Sabina, I agree entirely with you Angelina's voice is like butter! This video was a family production, her Grandma Mery was the ex-producer, along with her sister Juliette and her Uncle Michael's daughters. Also includes Rob Christie, Grammy Award Republic Records Studio Director playing the piano. The video is filled with symbolism of the late Sixties from Priscilla Presley's Beehive hairdo, to Elvis Presley Black leather jumpsuit and Red guitar.
Her hair looks like Priscilla Presley. Yes, 16 yo and increasingly soothing and healing voice. Thank you for being a female reacting to Angelina Jordan. I'm a Grandma and so I love how Angelina's grandmother did this video. Her little cousins and her sister were well featured as symbols of Angelina's own growth. Here she is, on the verge of adulthood and, I hear, the dropping of an album. Gorgeous artistry in that family.
the hair is in homage to Priscilla Presley who wore it like that a lot. The back leather outfit she's wearing is in homage to Elvis and the guitar is the same guitar a Elvis used in his iconic 1968 tour. The red outfit on Rob Christie, fabulous pianist who is Angelina's mentor at Republic Records (although I just recently heard that he was quoted as saying that Angelina is actually mentoring him.
Her Grandma Mery produced this. Looks like she used the same store she used for her My Funny Valentine video! Her sister Juliette was the older girl and the 2 younger girls are her Uncle Mike's kids. 2- time Grammy winner Rob Christie is on piano. The beehive hairstyle was to honor Priscilla Presley and the time period she met Elvis The black suit and red guitar was a classic look for Elvis. What a perormance by Angelina in this video!
Hope you're feeling better. You just got a dose of medicine which is not prescription in nature. It's results are guaranteed if you believe the giver is here to aid you when you need help. Sabina, I don't mean this in the form of criticism but, to me, I don't see Angelina improving. Rather, I believe she is always honing her skills with her voice which, as you said, is getting darker and so much more magnificent. She's evolving, not improving. Improving suggests she was lacking in some areas. Sabina, to me, the only time I can apply the word improve to anything she has done is, perhaps, when she was between the ages 3 and 7 !!!!!!! I'm sure I speak for many people around the world when i say to you it is so nice to see you reacting to Angelina again. She's currently on a Concert tour in Norway. One particular video you will enjoy is watching and listening to her sing Whitney Houston's 'I Have Nothing' in a full evening gown. It's a jaw dropper! :)
Absolutely what I expected. She made this her own song and she did it beautifully. I noticed Juliet sitting there she is going to be as beautiful as Angelina one day. Elvis' version is great and it always was, and it still is one of my favorites. but Angelina's version is equally great and is definitely her own. When I first heard this song I loved it and put it at #3 on my playlist (Angelina Jordan Playlist by Terry M.), about midday I moved it up to #1. The main thing that changed my mind was the power in her voice. I'm not talking about loudness I'm talking about the power she has regardless of how loud or soft she sings. This is a quality that I haven't heard from anyone in my 82 years. This voice has become so unique that it is totally unmatched. Her phrasing in the last bridge is great. And she got Elvis’s ‘Oh Yea’ at the end of the song. The pianist is Rob Christie (3 Grammys), he is the head of the Republic Record department that is responsible for Angelina and other singers. The two small kids are her uncle Mike's kids, and the older girl is Angelina's sister. 🙂
Get well quickly, Sabrina! It has been reported that Rob Christie, Republic Record's studio director and Angelina's pianist here, owns the very guitar that Elvis used in 1968 and loaned it to Angelina for this performance. She is the whole package!
Yes, I think we just saw some of the healing power that comes from Angelina. The production was well crafted, grandma made sure that all her grandchildren had a part! The voice is getting better, the expressiveness has always been there, it's just that she has more flexibility in the delivery. In the concerts, certainly at Sandefjord, the crowd gave such an atmosphere, it was like a family event, but with nearly 2000 members of her extended family! Singing live, she shone, at the last concert she was only crying between the songs, her happy tears, but no worry , tears dry on their own...
If Angelina´s voice was a perfume, it would be a dark smokey and chocolatey essense with a velvety twist of vintage leather, deep and rich, alluring...... also on a side note i got scared when she started, i had forgotten about the potency she can manage to deliver without effort! Get Better Sabina!
We never expect that AJ can grab us and have us hang on each word, or phrase, with each new performance. We want more, but she gives us just the right amount to have us return over, and over again to experience the genius each time. There is no one in the universe with a talent like Angelina Jordan.
Great reaction. Our barefoot princess never ceases to amaze us. The first two girls are her nieces from her uncle/manager. The older girl is her sister Juliette Angelina's outfit and guitar were used by Elvis himself. Angelina has done a few concerts in the past couple of weeks with a few new songs and a bunch of our favorites.
Yeah, that opening line is slaying everybody. So rich, full, warm and the meaning is like shes singing about your heart and life. A straight forward solid sound with no fry and perfectly placed little runs. I think its a glimpse of her adult voice. Her voice is premium rich quality unlike any other. Great reaction. Its interesting to see what affect she’s having on our lives collectively. Our lives are better and it shows as we continue to dhow up for our dose of Angelina.
This is the newest song of Angelina to cry to. Ord blir fattig, for å kunne beskrive en føler når man hører Angelina synger. Å vite at hun skal snart synge for deg en sang som du i utgangspunktet setter stor pris på fordi dette er en av de beste av Elvis’, kaller frem noe vanvittig vanskelig å sette ord for. Jo mer jeg hører, jo klarere blir budskapet… At Angelina er her for å gi oss noe av de beste komplementær medisin som finnes som vi vet kurerer… She is healing while singing. She does it everytime, and now she made me cry because when she sings she touch your soul. Even before she sings, just sitting there or standing infront, the healing process starts. It is very undefinable, and it is not a must to define the phenomenon, she really is. She is for so many, a symbol of profound goodheartedness, love. and peace. Thanks so much heavens for this wonderful gift to all mankind Angelina Jordan is💖. Thanks to the family around her. Thanks to the genial arrangement of the video on Suspicious Mind, ( and so with the making of My funny Valentine) the setting, the attire, the children, the piano, the chandelier. It’s simplicity, evokes an authentic nostalgic feeling not so many heart can resist but cry in awe. It is magical and breathtaking. Feeling proud being a norwegian myself. Thanks to God for taking care of this gift she really is. A treasure and a joy to the world💖🙏🌎💫🌸
hi Sabina - i just left her concert in Sandefjord - i was about 3m close to her - she was singing 17 Songs including Suspicious Minds - to see her that close while she spoke to the audience between Songs and even got emotional - so i have been tearing up along with her - holy boly her voice is so unbeliaveble powerful - you feel it so intensive even she is not belting to much but every word is like being hammered in your head and you cant forget it - it is so crazy because you have to wait so long time planning your journey and then a few hours and done.... i already miss her now knowing soon she will depart to Japan - maybe the next concert in Europe will be After her beeing promoted from Republic Records and all world wants to see her - i will never get the chance to see her that close again
Absolutely amazing rendition from a musical genius thanks 🙏 the two youngest girls are Angelina’s cousins her managers children, the eldest girl is Angelina’s beautiful sister Juliette, the production input Angelina’s grandma who is a talented artist, love the tribute to ELVIS with the black outfit and red guitar 🎸 also the Pricilla Presley hair style, Love how Angelina incorporates her family in this beautiful performance, cover of a cover as the original artist didn’t achieve with his version, then Elvis covered the song and it was a huge no 1 hit, thanks again!
Sabina so good to see you again---hope you are 100% very soon--Glad you are reacting to our mutual favorite Angelina with this I think her best performance---wonderful song from truly the best in the world
The song was written by Mark James. In the Wikipedia entry of the origins of the song, he is said to have remarked "That late one night, he was fooling around on his Fender guitar and using his Hammond organ pedals for a bass line and came up with what he thought was a catchy melody. At the time, he was married to his first wife but still had feelings for his childhood sweetheart, who was married back in Houston. James's wife had suspicions about his feelings. He felt it was a confusing time for him and that all three were "caught in this trap that they could not walk out of." Other singers covering this song invariably base their performance on that of Elvis, in that it is very "upbeat". Angelina took a very different path in that she read and understood the lyrics and what Mark James intended when writing them . To my mind, her rendition is much truer to the emotions of the song. The children appearing in the video were Angelina's cousins Aurora (first) and then Athena - daughters of her uncle Michael Astar, and then her sister Juliette. I would hazard a guess that they were included to emphasise that children are very important to Angelina and her family. Confession! I have never been a great fan of Elvis Presley, although I do like some of his earlier recordings, and I had never heard of the song "Suspicious minds" but knew that Angelina would completely take ownership of it, and she did. It was beautiful. After listening to it several times, I decided to download the lyrics to see whether she kept to the original structure. She didn't, and the song is all the better for it. For me, that she started with the Bridge of the song is very significant and, I feel, very indicative of Angelina's "up front" transparency. She was declaring that it was important that their love did not die, and then carries on to say why she feels as she does. Others first say how they feel and then, almost as an afterthought, assure their love they don't want it to end. For me, it is whether I feel the singer is genuine about the situation and wishes it could be resolved or whether the singer understands the situation but thinks the blame is on her/his partner but feels the need to assure them they don't want it to end (until somebody else comes along). I paste below the order in which Angelina sung the verses. "Suspicious minds" Angelina Jordan - lyrics rearranged. Oh let our love survive I'll dry the tears from your eyes Let's don't let a good thing die When honey, you know I've never lied to you We're caught in a trap I can't walk out Because I love you too much baby Why can't you see What you're doing to me When you don't believe a word I say? We can't go on together With suspicious minds And we can't build our dreams On suspicious minds So, if an old friend I know Stops by to say hello Would I still see suspicion in your eyes? Here we go again Asking where I've been You can't see these tears are real I'm crying (Yes, I'm crying) We can't go on together With suspicious minds And we can't build our dreams On suspicious minds Oh let our love survive I'll dry the tears from your eyes Let's don't let a good thing die When honey, you know I've never lied to you
Sabina, I hope you recover soon and thanks for a great reaction to this masterpiece performance by the Barefoot Angel. Angelina’s voice is a panacea for any malady. Angelina is a gift for the humankind, let appreciated her musical talent and humanitarian characteristic.
More magic from the genius Angelina , she makes this song so heart warming, I have watched this a 1000 times and it gets me everytime, what an absolute star . Beautiful reaction.
At the concert on the 10th July she was amazing. In the afternoon before it started she did a sound check which was more like a mini concert. Sang the Whitney Huston song twice and several others. She was wearing a leather jacket and jeans with her hair down. Was very relaxed and waved and smiled at us as we watched.
What a wonderful reaction! Angelina always touches my soul and it looks like she has touched yours as well. If this doesn't help you in your Covid recovery, nothing will...
The entire video, the staging, the direction, the costuming, the music, and of course the incredible voice of Angelina, was a loving tribute to Elvis. If a Grammy award could be given for a cover song, this is truly deserving of one. Thanks as always, Sabina, for supporting Angelina...love your channel!
Hope you get better. Agree with what you said about AJ. Sow Henry & tell us what she though. A drop from Angie Allsang concert. “I have Nothing” by Whitney Houston ua-cam.com/video/AqtIVYFjapQ/v-deo.html Live concert 6-22-22. Allsang på Grensen 2022 in Norway. Love all of Angie's nods to Elvis, to wife Priscilla & daughter Lisa Marie & Angie growing up too. Angie really out did herself on this one. She put in a lot of Elvis references, really amazing the respect & homage she paid to Elvis. Angie really blew this one away. I love what she did with this story. Yes she this was filmed in the same place that she did “My funny valentine” at Melrose Gallery and Antiques in West Hollywood CA. There's a picture of (age about 1-2) baby Lisa Marie Presley on a golden couch like Angie's cousin sat on with a white dress. There was one of Lisa also (when she’s about 3) with white dress & she had curls like Angie’s other cousin Athena had (from her uncle Michael's kids). Plus it acted as a double meaning for us watching Angie growing up. Her sister Juilette was the older one in the white dress like Angie was in, when she was 10-12 before she changed at 13 & her, her mom Sara & grandma Mery made clothes for her performances. (Angie made it modern & nostalgic at the same time. She’s emotes the story, for she is a true master story teller) The black jumpsuit & red guitar is for the welcome back tour in 1968. The hair was for Priscilla his wife, also Angie sitting on the couch. Chandeliers, mirrors & furniture was for Graceland, the Piano player Rob Christie wearing red like Elvis band members & you'll even see that Angie's (Elvis stance) put her leg out & bent like Elvis did. Angelina did a lot of homework & paid a lot of respect & gave us a lot of Easter eggs & there’s still more. As she usually does on her videos. Angelina is just amazing, beyond words & other singers/writers/artists/people. {She's Angelina Jordan Astar} The barefoot Angel with a 1000 voices. Angie's allsang concert also dropped “Bohemian Rhapsody” written by Queen ua-cam.com/video/TqMqyAi-bsc/v-deo.html Live concert 6-22-22. Allsang på Grensen 2022 Angie’s owned version. and a lot of drops from her 7-1-22 Kurbadhagen concert & her 7-722 Kongsberg concert and she has another concert on 7-10-22 also in Norway. You can see that Angie is having a lot of fun & so are the fans. please react to them Sabina. (Angie is still (16) here.) Hope you can get Henry to watch the Elvis cover from Angie & let us know what she thought.
Everyone thinks it's an Elvis cover when it's not. Elvis did a cover of the original. "Suspicious Minds" is a 1968 song written and first recorded by American songwriter Mark James.
Sabina, so sorry to learn you contracted covid for a second time. Wishing you don't have any long term effects. I agree, Angelina's voice has gotten deeper and today is her half birthday (16.5 years old). Angelina has her third and final full concert in Norway today. Plenty of videos from her concerts to react to. We Angelina angels have been on a mission to make the music reaction world a better place. We suggest reactors encourage viewers to watch, like, share and comment on the original video so the artist gets a boost in their analytics. Thankfully, hundreds of reaction channels have done so and many include links to their social media as well.
Angelina ( her voice and all that she is ) is like a beautiful dream that you never want to end, just like all her songs that you never want it to end...Great reaction my friend...Hope you're feeling much better..Cheers..
The Hagstrom Red Guitar used in this video is a modern up to date copy of the one Elvis used in 1968. The Hagstrom Red Guitar belonged to musician Al Casey, a member of Elvis’ backing band during the special in 1968. According to an accompanying letter from Casey, he was asked to let Elvis use the guitar by the producers, as they "thought it would look beautiful on camera and with the set." Elvis Presley’s 1942 Martin D-18 acoustic guitar may have recently sold for $1.32 million, but fear not - another of the King’s axes, this one his cherry-red Hagstrom Viking II electric guitar, famous for its use in the legendary '68 Comeback Special, is hitting the block. The semi hollow instrument is a highlight of Kruse GWS Auctions’ Artifacts of Hollywood & Music auction, which begins on March 27. It's being offered with a starting bid of $250,000. By Matt Owen published March 31, 2021 Now, it has been confirmed that the legendary semi-hollow has been sold for a whopping $625,000, with the proud new owner of the lot managing to outbid six other plucky bidders to get their hands on the prized piece of music memorabilia. The ‘68 Comeback Special marked Elvis' return to live performance after seven years spent focused on acting in Hollywood films. The televised concert, which launched Presley's return to live touring, featured him playing the Hagstrom for the opening segment as well as during one of the live "stand-up" segments.
I think her magic is when she does a cover is to strip it down and slow it down to me it is always better than the original. Love your reaction I can feel it is very heart felt. Great job.
Sabina, I love your way of not interrupting the song. The titling is a terrific idea. , I got to see Angelina sing it live at Kurbadhagen in Norway on Sunday. It was magical
Such a great reaction, Sabina. AND with an active Covid as well. By the way, I really wish you a speedy recovery. I have fought the bastard three times, and the struggle is real. I have nothing to discuss with you when it comes to Angelina. I think you are just as much of a fan of her as I am myself and we obviously see and hear the same things. But I have heard something today that you didn't. I just came home from her last concert here in Norway, and that is the most incredible musical experience I have ever had. She is so incredibly talented that there really is no point in trying to describe it. Words fall short. It's something that needs to be experienced first hand, on a soul-to-soul level. And to think about the fact that she is still just 16 years old is absolutely insane. She actually turned 16,5 today (071022) 🙂 If you ever get the chance, go see her live. It's something you wil never forget, take it from me. Kjærlig hilsen fra din nabo i nord ♥♥♥♥
Beautiful voice , a natural talent.........Sabina sorry to see your under the weather , sorry to hear you got the jabs, .......your one of the best reactors on you tube , found you though Rammstein , all your reactions are great , love the no pauses , get well soon!...Rammstien!!!!
I really like that she is embracing her height. Most girls at that age are awkward and try to diminish their height. Then she also has the Bee-hive Do all that makes her 7'0" tall. Those opening notes slay me every time. I have yet to make it past them without crying. This must be my 50th seeing the reactor videos. Add to that the 50 times I've watched by myself and I've shed a lot of tears, and I've enjoyed every minute of it.
Angelina's singing touches my heart and heals my soul. She truly is a beautiful person. Sabina, I enjoyed your reaction very much and hope you feel better soon ... 😊🙏
What a wonderful reaction and comments Sabina, so nice to see you back with Angelina, she is a healer. Hope you recover soon. Angelina is in Norway doing live concerts, many places she performed as a younger child, and now a beautiful, eloquent, classy and poised young lady. There are a lot of concert uploads on YT with Angelina performing currently....lots and lots. Here are links to two of them, great audio and quality done by the TV2 folks in Norway recording the concert at Allsang pa Grensen. This is her live performance of Whitney's "I Have Nothing" :ua-cam.com/video/AqtIVYFjapQ/v-deo.html. This link, same concert is "Bohemian Rhapsody" live: ua-cam.com/video/TqMqyAi-bsc/v-deo.html. Enjoy, further healing will ensue.
Sabina, I hope you are all better now. Your reaction is right in line with mine. I see comments that provide back story. All the more meaningful in retrospect. I so much like your authenticity as a reactor.
Angelina Jordan Astar (born 10 January 2006) is a Norwegian child singer whose audition for the 2014 season of Norway’s Got Talent at the age of seven, singing “Gloomy Sunday” in the style of Billie Holiday, became a viral video online, and led to worldwide press coverage. She went on to win the competition (at eight) with her performance of George Gershwin’s “Summertime”. Since then she has worked to raise millions of dollars on behalf of environmental causes and children’s charities around the world. She always performs barefoot, after befriending a young shoeless girl while traveling when she was six years old. Jordan wrote a book about the experience and became the youngest published author in Norway. In April 2016, she performed “Fly Me to the Moon” on the first season of the noncompetitive children’s talent show Little Big Shots. A year later she performed “What a Difference a Day Makes” on the UK version of the show. In 2014, Jordan created her own UA-cam channel to which she has posted TV appearances, official music videos, and live concert performances. In 2017, she created a second channel to present performances of cover songs. Several of her most popular videos have surpassed one million views.
This is my favorite performance by Angelina. And while I have used many words in the past to describe her voice, you gave me two more. DELICIOUS and YUMMY!! Loved your reaction, Sabrina, and I hope that you get well soon. 😊😊
Her stripped down slow pace rendition of this song is even more perfect for the lyrics than the original . She has proven once more that she is able to take an old masterpiece and make it current and her own. She is becoming a legend in her own lifetime. Thanks for the great review hope you are feeling better soon. 😀
Hope you're better quick! This was spectacular and possibly the best performance of her career thus far. That takes into consideration the vocals, the video, piano, and symbolism. I believe it surely is a taste of things to come. Your reaction was sincere and enjoyable, but please remember to elevate your support for aspiring young artists like Angelina that you appreciate, as it will create fan loyalty.

Great reaction Sabina. As someone once said - our Angelna doesn't cover songs, she uncovers them. Also, I have come to the conclusion that you don't listen to AJ's music - you absorb it.
The vast number of reactors never notice that Angelina is wearing blue sued boots. That fact is made clear in the scene where Angelina is sitting on the couch.
Ahh!! Love it! Thanks for pointing me to it!
blaster When she's sitting on the couch, your eye gets tricked by the lighting and shadows. She's not wearing blue suede boots!....Go to the original video, full screen. Click the settings icon to change the playback speed to .5 Then at about :21, just before she pulls off the sheet from the piano, what do you see on her feet?
“Guys my body just healed”..says it all really 😍
😍❤️🙏🏻
Sabina, In the beginning credits it shows that Mery Zamani is the executive producer. Mery is Angelina’s grandmother, whom also happens to be Angelina greatest creative influence. The two smallest children are her uncle Michael’s daughters. Michael is also Angelina’s manager. The older child is Angelina’s sister, Juliette. The children were incorporated to represent the evolution of Angelina’s chronological development.
Everything about this production, from the cinematic beauty, musical arrangement, Angelina’s vocal performance, pianist, Rob Christie’s brilliant accompaniment and Angelina’s period correct appearance pay homage to Elvis and his wife Pricilla’s bee hive hair style. It’s not a stretch to think that Elvis would have been very impressed with this performance.
There is gold. There is platinum. There is diamond. Then there is, Angelina whom is a very rare and precious gem. I’ve always said that Angelina’s voice has a healing affect on us.
Get well.
❤️❤️🙏🏻
Or perhaps to represent the innocence depicted in the lyrics? So evocative and tender, regardless.
@@cathygregory3443 I was thinking the same. It represents the innocence that is lost when a relationship suffers from suspicion.
I felt the emotions and the soul of Angelina when she sang this song. Elvis would be proud of Angelina. Angelina is a special artist.
Yes and yes!
@@sabina1118 , great reaction, and hope you recover fully very soon! There's a lot of intentional symbolism here -- the black leather suit pays tribute to Elvis' black leather performance in his "1968 Comeback Special," along with the red guitar he used in part of that production. The beehive hair is a tribute to Priscilla Presley (and the trend among ladies of that era). Taking the sheets off the antiques -- first the chair, then the mirror, then the piano -- was, I believe, her way of saying, "Take a seat; let me take you through the looking glass into the past; and listen to me honor a legend with my song." The red suit of Rob Christie, pianist and 2-time Grammy winner (executive at Republic Records) is reminiscent of the red often worn by Elvis' musicians. The young girls symbolize the progression of Angelina from babyhood (literally!) to toddler to young pre-teen, to the present (with the customary white dresses she wore in many of her earlier performances), surrounded by, and learning from the classics (portrayed by the antiques) and classical artists of the past up to the present. Coming into the shop clicking those boots on the floor with "attitude", but then singing in her bare feet, I feel that she's saying, "Okay, I've come to "Take care of business" (Elvis' motto), but then humbly does it with the powerful, yet sweet delivery while honoring her vow to never wear shoes in a performance until all the impoverished children of the world have shoes and other necessities of life! Take care of yourself, Sabina! P.S. -- She is currently on tour in her homeland of Norway after being unable to give live concerts for three years. There are many videos of these outdoor performances that have inundated UA-cam in the past several days. Hope you can react to some (especially her performances in her first concert at "Allsang pa Grensen" annual festival at the Norwegian-Swedish border castle fortress. She sang "I Have Nothing" and her version of "Bohemian Rhapsody"! Stunning!
The barefoot Princess pays tribute to the King while reinventing his iconic hit into a soulful masterpiece. Thanks for a great reaction.
My great pleasure 😍
Hi Sabina she's a star
She is 🤩
You are too beautiful when you react to her ! THANKS for the truthful way you react to her !!!
Angelina said she wore that hairstyle out of respect for Elvis's wife Pricilla who was often seen like that.
Loved the review!! 🇳🇿👍🏻💖
Awesome 😍 and Thanks!! 🙏🏻❤️
piano At about 1:18 ua-cam.com/video/OZhpoiSQDWM/v-deo.html
Sublime....
Yes 😍
Great to see you!!! Sorry you're 🤒😷🤕.. Yes, Angelina knows that excellence is in the details, her Grandma Mery was the executive producer, what a pairing of artists!!
The hairstyle is called "The Beehive" popular back then and Priscilla sported it often. Angelina is blessed with the ability to finds emotions she's yet experienced, she interprets the lyrics as almost a plea... And genius ornament of speaking with a whisper "You know I'd never lie to you". She makes you marvel, makes tears well up in your eyes, and after a deep breath you have to smile when you feel like she just strung stars around your heart ... What a blessing and LIGHT she is in this world!! PEACE!!
Awesome thanks for reacting!
My greatest pleasure 😍
It was her sister Juliette in this video.
Adorable 😍
Angelina Jordan Astar, for me she is the best singer of the last 50 years. Her voice touches my heart and cleanses my soul.
❤️🙏🏻💃🏻
You are so so right what a talent she is
AJ plays guitar, keyboard/piano, violin and flute. Don’t forget she writes music and was the youngest author in Norway to publish a book.
No loud band, no light show, no dancers, just two instruments to accompany the MAGIC that Angelina Jordan brings like no one else can.
At 7 she was killing us, at 16 she is taking us places we have never been.
What a glorious production, praise to everyone involved, so perfect for Angelina Jordan she rules the universe with her talent. Again, the great talent of Rob Christie playing the piano. The Cinemaphotography, a total MASTERPIECE, Excellent ART Cole McCarthy! Great touch, the cousins and sister get a cameo. Mery, you should be so proud, AJ's grandma produced this. (This red guitar is identical to the one Elvis played in his 1968 concert on TV.) Oh, the tears, and loss of breath, she is like no other in the universe. Here is a classic example of what this ethereal talent, Angelina Jordan, can achieve she takes a mundane song and turns it in to phenomenal classic. Angelina at 16 is the MASTER of her universe, she is top priority for both Stargate, and AJ's voice has been unique since she was 7 years old and now at 16, she controls us as an audience, leaving us hang on every word and phrase. She has written a number of songs.
Angelina‘s grandmother was the executive producer of this video. The young girls are her cousins and another family member owns the antique store. Angelina pays tribute to Elvis by wearing leather, blue suede boots that can be seen when she’s sitting on the loveseat, and she wore her hair the way Priscilla Presley did when she was married to Elvis. Also, I read somewhere that the guitar she used was actually Elvis’ on loan to her for this video ♥️🇨🇦♥️
Angelina teaches us that slow and calm songs can be great as well! 😁
No way that this was the piano used to record this song. Such deep tone! Beautiful. Everything in this video is a tribute to Elvis: the black suit, the guitar, the taking the covers off the furniture and on and on. Her voice is like melted double deep chocolate fudge! Love you Sabina! Be well!
The hair was for Priscilla , the leather and Red Hagstrom guitar was what Elvis wore during his 68' Comeback Special.
Hey sweet girl! Drink loads of tea and fluids. So sorry Covid got you again! Rest and get well quickly! It's summer, and AJ is performing at festivals in Norway currently. There will be so many new things to react to shortly. I agree - the depth and strength in AJ's incredible tone has improved significantly over the past year or so. And she's still only 16. Incredible. I got a solid set of goosebumps starting with her first note, all the way through this to the end. She tells the story of this song in such a unique way - in almost a pleading, whisper at times. So moving. Suspicion is a relationship destroyer. But, you can't help but believe her - she's never lied to you. I can't stop listening to this one... Get well soon, hun! Thank you for your reaction! xo
Thank you!! 😍🙏🏻 I’m excited to see more AJ! Best medicine!
thanks for a wonderful reaction. She continues to amaze. Hope you recover soon...
Thanks 🙏🏻😍
The direction is amazing. Notice how Angelina's every position is part of the Elvis guitar playing rocker era, from the initial walkon, then guitar to the rear, then guitar slung on hip gunslinger style to the position changes as she strums the guitar.
Her facial expression showing disappointment "... when you don't believe a word I say", is heart wrenching and produces ten times more meaning and emotion than anyone else, including Elvis.
EVERY move, expression, word and position is on point.
A Norwegian lady I think. Her voice is more akin to someone who is older but with considerable tone and style…tone and style that really suited this songs arrangement. What a beautiful start musically to a Sunday morning. Sabina..a look of awe and wonder during the performance..loved it.
She is! And I totally agree, she is what I like to call an old soul!
Such a stunning cover and Thank you, Chris! Glad to contribute to the good Sunday mood! 😍💃🏻
It is crazy that her voice getting richer, because her voice is so, so rich from before 😳❤️
I really hope you feel better. You are my favorite reactor. I Ioked the if this singing thing doesn't work out LOL she could be a supermodel! She sang "I have nothing recently in Norway. She is so beautiful and tall! Thanks again!
Her singing career become better and better.....💗💗💗 thank you...get well soon....🙂
It does! 😍 Thanks 🤗
Like you, I adore this young lady's voice. She is an incredible talent. I find it strange that she is not as well known as one would think. She is something very special, for sure. This cover is better that the original, in my opinion!
My interpretation of the symbolism of this music video:
First, and foremost; Angelina Jordan at 16 is the epitome of a Storytelling ARTIST, and she has the ability to take us by the hand and lead us down an imaginary path that we visualize as reality. The remarkable fact is that we experience this in each of her performances. In this video we see her as a married woman in her mid to late 20s. As AJ sings the phrase “Were caught in a trap, I can’t walk out” we see 3 small children, this to me is a marriage where the children come first. If it were AJ by herself, she would not stay in a relation without trust.
Yeah! She’s something special, isn’t she? Pure Velvet Perfection! This vocal arrangement was all Angelina, I have no doubt in collaboration with a stellar team including Rob Christie & Mery Zamani her Grandmother. She is a Master Storyteller. The video is shot in the same Antique Store that she did 'My Funny Valentine' on Valentine’s Day. I believe it is in LA near her home. I believe the girls in the video represent Angelina's Journey from infancy to present through the classics of music history. Thus the Antique store, She grew up studying and performing these classics. Did you notice that right foot raise it''s heal to cradle the guitar a couple of times in the performance. I was waiting for her to throw in a little shake to it in homage to the King. Could that have been intentional? That is Rob Christie on piano. Sister Juliette and a couple of Uncle Michael's Babies. I think that makes them cousins not nieces. Full Black Leather Bodysuit, the guitar from his concert in 68 and the hair a homage to Priscilla Presley. Yeah! She can bring tears to your eyes. Epic. Incredible. There are no words. Epic! Wow, Wow, Wow! Could it be more Beautiful? ♥👣👸🏻🎷 Yeah she doing a Concert in Norway this month! Album to drop soon! So much to look forward to.♥👣👸🏻🎷
Omg I can’t wait!!!
Sabina, I agree entirely with you Angelina's voice is like butter! This video was a family production, her Grandma Mery was the ex-producer, along with her sister Juliette and her Uncle Michael's daughters. Also includes Rob Christie, Grammy Award Republic Records Studio Director playing the piano. The video is filled with symbolism of the late Sixties from Priscilla Presley's Beehive hairdo, to Elvis Presley Black leather jumpsuit and Red guitar.
Her hair looks like Priscilla Presley. Yes, 16 yo and increasingly soothing and healing voice. Thank you for being a female reacting to Angelina Jordan. I'm a Grandma and so I love how Angelina's grandmother did this video. Her little cousins and her sister were well featured as symbols of Angelina's own growth. Here she is, on the verge of adulthood and, I hear, the dropping of an album. Gorgeous artistry in that family.
the hair is in homage to Priscilla Presley who wore it like that a lot. The back leather outfit she's wearing is in homage to Elvis and the guitar is the same guitar a Elvis used in his iconic 1968 tour. The red outfit on Rob Christie, fabulous pianist who is Angelina's mentor at Republic Records (although I just recently heard that he was quoted as saying that Angelina is actually mentoring him.
Great reaction!...the wonderous journey continues....Thanks and get well soon.
Thanks ❤️🙏🏻
Hey, get well again, and take care! Nice reaction anyway. She will change the whole game and create a new genre.
I agree and Thanks! 🙏🏻❤️
Great reaction and Hairdo was homage to Prescilla, God Bless!
Her Grandma Mery produced this. Looks like she used the same store she used for her My Funny Valentine video! Her sister Juliette was the older girl and the 2 younger girls are her Uncle Mike's kids. 2- time Grammy winner Rob Christie is on piano. The beehive hairstyle was to honor Priscilla Presley and the time period she met Elvis The black suit and red guitar was a classic look for Elvis. What a perormance by Angelina in this video!
I love it! Thanks for sharing this 😍🙏🏻
So, so great! Hope you get ride of the covid. ❤😎🇸🇪🇩🇰🇺🇦
Thanks 🙏🏻❤️
Hope you're feeling better. You just got a dose of medicine which is not prescription in nature. It's results are guaranteed if you believe the giver is here to aid you when you need help.
Sabina, I don't mean this in the form of criticism but, to me, I don't see Angelina improving. Rather, I believe she is always honing her skills with her voice which, as you said, is getting darker and so much more magnificent. She's evolving, not improving. Improving suggests she was lacking in some areas. Sabina, to me, the only time I can apply the word improve to anything she has done is, perhaps, when she was between the ages 3 and 7 !!!!!!!
I'm sure I speak for many people around the world when i say to you it is so nice to see you reacting to Angelina again. She's currently on a Concert tour in Norway. One particular video you will enjoy is watching and listening to her sing Whitney Houston's 'I Have Nothing' in a full evening gown. It's a jaw dropper! :)
Well Said 😍 Uh, that is on my to do list
Absolutely what I expected. She made this her own song and she did it beautifully. I noticed Juliet sitting there she is going to be as beautiful as Angelina one day.
Elvis' version is great and it always was, and it still is one of my favorites. but Angelina's version is equally great and is definitely her own.
When I first heard this song I loved it and put it at #3 on my playlist (Angelina Jordan Playlist by Terry M.), about midday I moved it up to #1. The main thing that changed my mind was the power in her voice. I'm not talking about loudness I'm talking about the power she has regardless of how loud or soft she sings. This is a quality that I haven't heard from anyone in my 82 years. This voice has become so unique that it is totally unmatched.
Her phrasing in the last bridge is great. And she got Elvis’s ‘Oh Yea’ at the end of the song.
The pianist is Rob Christie (3 Grammys), he is the head of the Republic Record department that is responsible for Angelina and other singers.
The two small kids are her uncle Mike's kids, and the older girl is Angelina's sister.
🙂
Get well quickly, Sabrina! It has been reported that Rob Christie, Republic Record's studio director and Angelina's pianist here, owns the very guitar that Elvis used in 1968 and loaned it to Angelina for this performance. She is the whole package!
Oh Wow!! That’s amazing 😍
Same model, but not Elvis's actual guitar. That would be sweet! 😉
Yes, I think we just saw some of the healing power that comes from Angelina. The production was well crafted, grandma made sure that all her grandchildren had a part! The voice is getting better, the expressiveness has always been there, it's just that she has more flexibility in the delivery. In the concerts, certainly at Sandefjord, the crowd gave such an atmosphere, it was like a family event, but with nearly 2000 members of her extended family! Singing live, she shone, at the last concert she was only crying between the songs, her happy tears, but no worry , tears dry on their own...
If Angelina´s voice was a perfume, it would be a dark smokey and chocolatey essense with a velvety twist of vintage leather, deep and rich, alluring...... also on a side note i got scared when she started, i had forgotten about the potency she can manage to deliver without effort! Get Better Sabina!
We never expect that AJ can grab us and have us hang on each word, or phrase, with each new performance. We want more, but she gives us just the right amount to have us return over, and over again to experience the genius each time. There is no one in the universe with a talent like Angelina Jordan.
We are the ones who have the amazing journey ahead, as her appreciators
Great reaction.
Our barefoot princess never ceases to amaze us.
The first two girls are her nieces from her uncle/manager. The older girl is her sister Juliette
Angelina's outfit and guitar were used by Elvis himself.
Angelina has done a few concerts in the past couple of weeks with a few new songs and a bunch of our favorites.
guy cousins, not nieces. do you really think Elvis' leather suit would fit Angelina? not very likely.
Yeah, that opening line is slaying everybody. So rich, full, warm and the meaning is like shes singing about your heart and life. A straight forward solid sound with no fry and perfectly placed little runs. I think its a glimpse of her adult voice. Her voice is premium rich quality unlike any other. Great reaction. Its interesting to see what affect she’s having on our lives collectively. Our lives are better and it shows as we continue to dhow up for our dose of Angelina.
This is the newest song of Angelina to cry to. Ord blir fattig, for å kunne beskrive en føler når man hører Angelina synger. Å vite at hun skal snart synge for deg en sang som du i utgangspunktet setter stor pris på fordi dette er en av de beste av Elvis’, kaller frem noe vanvittig vanskelig å sette ord for. Jo mer jeg hører, jo klarere blir budskapet… At Angelina er her for å gi oss noe av de beste komplementær medisin som finnes som vi vet kurerer… She is healing while singing. She does it everytime, and now she made me cry because when she sings she touch your soul. Even before she sings, just sitting there or standing infront, the healing process starts. It is very undefinable, and it is not a must to define the phenomenon, she really is. She is for so many, a symbol of profound goodheartedness, love. and peace. Thanks so much heavens for this wonderful gift to all mankind Angelina Jordan is💖. Thanks to the family around her. Thanks to the genial arrangement of the video on Suspicious Mind, ( and so with the making of My funny Valentine) the setting, the attire, the children, the piano, the chandelier. It’s simplicity, evokes an authentic nostalgic feeling not so many heart can resist but cry in awe. It is magical and breathtaking. Feeling proud being a norwegian myself. Thanks to God for taking care of this gift she really is. A treasure and a joy to the world💖🙏🌎💫🌸
Thanks beautiful reaction get well more. Yes Angelina is like medicine , a healer.☺ Looking forward to more Angelina reactions.
hi Sabina - i just left her concert in Sandefjord - i was about 3m close to her - she was singing 17 Songs including Suspicious Minds - to see her that close while she spoke to the audience between Songs and even got emotional - so i have been tearing up along with her - holy boly her voice is so unbeliaveble powerful - you feel it so intensive even she is not belting to much but every word is like being hammered in your head and you cant forget it - it is so crazy because you have to wait so long time planning your journey and then a few hours and done.... i already miss her now knowing soon she will depart to Japan - maybe the next concert in Europe will be After her beeing promoted from Republic Records and all world wants to see her - i will never get the chance to see her that close again
This is the most amazing video you will ever experience; she is sublime.
Her opening voice was out of this world. Almost hits you with an overwhelming warmth of cascading tears, it's such a deep full sound.
Absolutely amazing rendition from a musical genius thanks 🙏 the two youngest girls are Angelina’s cousins her managers children, the eldest girl is Angelina’s beautiful sister Juliette, the production input Angelina’s grandma who is a talented artist, love the tribute to ELVIS with the black outfit and red guitar 🎸 also the Pricilla Presley hair style, Love how Angelina incorporates her family in this beautiful performance, cover of a cover as the original artist didn’t achieve with his version, then Elvis covered the song and it was a huge no 1 hit, thanks again!
That’s amazing - Thanks for sharing this 😍🙏🏻
in this song she had borrowef the guitar from Elvis museum, believe me or not :) and that hair style was made to look alike Priscilla Presley
Yes, wow.. she's amazing, my soul healed with you. 😊
I’m glad 😍
Thanks Sabina, Love your reactions. Love your love of Angelina. Yeep, lots of lovin in my heart too. 🥰
I hope you feel better soon :) the girl is just the best.
Thanks and yes!!
Sabina so good to see you again---hope you are 100% very soon--Glad you are reacting to our mutual favorite Angelina with this I think her best performance---wonderful song from truly the best in the world
Great reaction to Angelina.🎼👍🏼🤗 I hope you feel better soon.💗
Angelina 🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟
One of the better reactions, and it was all revealed on your face as Angelina sang. Get better, thumbs up, thank you for your time and words Sabina.
The song was written by Mark James. In the Wikipedia entry of the origins of the song, he is said to have remarked "That late one night, he was fooling around on his Fender guitar and using his Hammond organ pedals for a bass line and came up with what he thought was a catchy melody. At the time, he was married to his first wife but still had feelings for his childhood sweetheart, who was married back in Houston. James's wife had suspicions about his feelings. He felt it was a confusing time for him and that all three were "caught in this trap that they could not walk out of."
Other singers covering this song invariably base their performance on that of Elvis, in that it is very "upbeat". Angelina took a very different path in that she read and understood the lyrics and what Mark James intended when writing them . To my mind, her rendition is much truer to the emotions of the song.
The children appearing in the video were Angelina's cousins Aurora (first) and then Athena - daughters of her uncle Michael Astar, and then her sister Juliette. I would hazard a guess that they were included to emphasise that children are very important to Angelina and her family.
Confession! I have never been a great fan of Elvis Presley, although I do like some of his earlier recordings, and I had never heard of the song "Suspicious minds" but knew that Angelina would completely take ownership of it, and she did. It was beautiful. After listening to it several times, I decided to download the lyrics to see whether she kept to the original structure. She didn't, and the song is all the better for it. For me, that she started with the Bridge of the song is very significant and, I feel, very indicative of Angelina's "up front" transparency. She was declaring that it was important that their love did not die, and then carries on to say why she feels as she does. Others first say how they feel and then, almost as an afterthought, assure their love they don't want it to end. For me, it is whether I feel the singer is genuine about the situation and wishes it could be resolved or whether the singer understands the situation but thinks the blame is on her/his partner but feels the need to assure them they don't want it to end (until somebody else comes along).
I paste below the order in which Angelina sung the verses.
"Suspicious minds" Angelina Jordan - lyrics rearranged.
Oh let our love survive
I'll dry the tears from your eyes
Let's don't let a good thing die
When honey, you know I've never lied to you
We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby
Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds
So, if an old friend I know
Stops by to say hello
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?
Here we go again
Asking where I've been
You can't see these tears are real
I'm crying
(Yes, I'm crying)
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds
Oh let our love survive
I'll dry the tears from your eyes
Let's don't let a good thing die
When honey, you know I've never lied to you
Been waiting for your reaction to this song..........AJ is a miracle.
She is 🥰
Sabina, I hope you recover soon and thanks for a great reaction to this masterpiece performance by the Barefoot Angel. Angelina’s voice is a panacea for any malady.
Angelina is a gift for the humankind, let appreciated her musical talent and humanitarian characteristic.
Thank you so much for not being one of the reaction post that constantly interrupt the video. You comment verbally at the end which is perfect...
I got chills the moment she started singing.
More magic from the genius Angelina , she makes this song so heart warming, I have watched this a 1000 times and it gets me everytime, what an absolute star . Beautiful reaction.
At the concert on the 10th July she was amazing. In the afternoon before it started she did a sound check which was more like a mini concert. Sang the Whitney Huston song twice and several others. She was wearing a leather jacket and jeans with her hair down. Was very relaxed and waved and smiled at us as we watched.
What a wonderful reaction! Angelina always touches my soul and it looks like she has touched yours as well.
If this doesn't help you in your Covid recovery, nothing will...
The entire video, the staging, the direction, the costuming, the music, and of course the incredible voice of Angelina, was a loving tribute to Elvis. If a Grammy award could be given for a cover song, this is truly deserving of one. Thanks as always, Sabina, for supporting Angelina...love your channel!
Hope you get better. Agree with what you said about AJ. Sow Henry & tell us what she
though. A drop from Angie Allsang concert. “I have Nothing” by Whitney Houston ua-cam.com/video/AqtIVYFjapQ/v-deo.html Live concert
6-22-22. Allsang på Grensen 2022 in Norway.
Love all of Angie's nods to Elvis, to
wife Priscilla & daughter Lisa Marie & Angie growing up too. Angie really out did herself on this one. She put in a lot of Elvis references, really amazing the respect & homage she paid to Elvis. Angie really blew this one away. I love
what she did with this story. Yes she this was filmed in the same place that she did
“My funny valentine” at Melrose Gallery and Antiques in West Hollywood CA.
There's a picture of (age about 1-2) baby Lisa Marie Presley on a golden couch like
Angie's cousin sat on with a white dress. There was one of Lisa also (when she’s
about 3) with white dress & she had curls like Angie’s other cousin Athena had (from her uncle Michael's kids). Plus it acted as a double meaning for us watching Angie growing up. Her sister Juilette was the older one in the white dress like Angie was in, when she was 10-12 before she changed at 13 & her, her mom Sara & grandma Mery made clothes for her performances. (Angie made it modern & nostalgic at the same
time. She’s emotes the story, for she is a true master story teller)
The black jumpsuit & red guitar is for the welcome back tour in 1968. The hair was for Priscilla his wife, also Angie sitting on the couch. Chandeliers, mirrors & furniture was
for Graceland, the Piano player Rob Christie wearing red like Elvis band members & you'll even see that Angie's (Elvis stance) put her leg out & bent like Elvis did. Angelina did a lot of homework & paid a lot of respect & gave us a lot of Easter eggs & there’s
still more. As she usually does on her videos. Angelina is just amazing, beyond words
& other singers/writers/artists/people.
{She's Angelina Jordan Astar} The barefoot Angel with a 1000 voices.
Angie's allsang concert also dropped
“Bohemian Rhapsody” written by Queen ua-cam.com/video/TqMqyAi-bsc/v-deo.html
Live concert 6-22-22. Allsang på Grensen 2022 Angie’s owned version.
and a lot of drops from her 7-1-22 Kurbadhagen concert & her 7-722 Kongsberg concert
and she has another concert on 7-10-22 also in Norway. You can see that Angie is having
a lot of fun & so are the fans. please react to them Sabina. (Angie is still (16) here.) Hope
you can get Henry to watch the Elvis cover from Angie & let us know what she thought.
I'm pleased to listen to you and AJ. Thank you so much for reacting to this masterpiece. Hope you're feeling better soon.
Everyone thinks it's an Elvis cover when it's not. Elvis did a cover of the original. "Suspicious Minds" is a 1968 song written and first recorded by American songwriter Mark James.
Sabina, so sorry to learn you contracted covid for a second time. Wishing you don't have any long term effects. I agree, Angelina's voice has gotten deeper and today is her half birthday (16.5 years old). Angelina has her third and final full concert in Norway today. Plenty of videos from her concerts to react to. We Angelina angels have been on a mission to make the music reaction world a better place. We suggest reactors encourage viewers to watch, like, share and comment on the original video so the artist gets a boost in their analytics. Thankfully, hundreds of reaction channels have done so and many include links to their social media as well.
Angelina ( her voice and all that she is ) is like a beautiful dream that you never want to end, just like all her songs that you never want it to end...Great reaction my friend...Hope you're feeling much better..Cheers..
The Hagstrom Red Guitar used in this video is a modern up to date copy of the one Elvis used in 1968.
The Hagstrom Red Guitar belonged to musician Al Casey, a member of Elvis’ backing band during the special in 1968. According to an accompanying letter from Casey, he was asked to let Elvis use the guitar by the producers, as they "thought it would look beautiful on camera and with the set."
Elvis Presley’s 1942 Martin D-18 acoustic guitar may have recently sold for $1.32 million, but fear not - another of the King’s axes, this one his cherry-red Hagstrom Viking II electric guitar, famous for its use in the legendary '68 Comeback Special, is hitting the block.
The semi hollow instrument is a highlight of Kruse GWS Auctions’ Artifacts of Hollywood & Music auction, which begins on March 27. It's being offered with a starting bid of $250,000.
By Matt Owen published March 31, 2021 Now, it has been confirmed that the legendary semi-hollow has been sold for a whopping $625,000, with the proud new owner of the lot managing to outbid six other plucky bidders to get their hands on the prized piece of music memorabilia.
The ‘68 Comeback Special marked Elvis' return to live performance after seven years spent focused on acting in Hollywood films. The televised concert, which launched Presley's return to live touring, featured him playing the Hagstrom for the opening segment as well as during one of the live "stand-up" segments.
Angelina Jordan did a cover of I have nothing on her official July 23rd 2022 at 11pm spectacular beautiful stunning 😍
I think her magic is when she does a cover is to strip it down and slow it down to me it is always better than the original. Love your reaction I can feel it is very heart felt. Great job.
Beautiful reaction. Thank you. Angelina never fails to amaze me. Please get better soon.
Don’t you feel that every song Angelina sings is too short! Just want it to keep going because it is so good.
YES
Enjoyed your reaction and thought you got it all right
Thank you 🙏🏻❤️
She was a 10 singer and now she is an 11-perfection +
🥰
Sabina, I love your way of not interrupting the song. The titling is a terrific idea. , I got to see Angelina sing it live at Kurbadhagen in Norway on Sunday. It was magical
Such a great reaction, Sabina. AND with an active Covid as well. By the way, I really wish you a speedy recovery. I have fought the bastard three times, and the struggle is real. I have nothing to discuss with you when it comes to Angelina. I think you are just as much of a fan of her as I am myself and we obviously see and hear the same things. But I have heard something today that you didn't. I just came home from her last concert here in Norway, and that is the most incredible musical experience I have ever had. She is so incredibly talented that there really is no point in trying to describe it. Words fall short. It's something that needs to be experienced first hand, on a soul-to-soul level. And to think about the fact that she is still just 16 years old is absolutely insane. She actually turned 16,5 today (071022) 🙂 If you ever get the chance, go see her live. It's something you wil never forget, take it from me. Kjærlig hilsen fra din nabo i nord ♥♥♥♥
Beautiful voice , a natural talent.........Sabina sorry to see your under the weather , sorry to hear you got the jabs, .......your one of the best reactors on you tube , found you though Rammstein , all your reactions are great , love the no pauses , get well soon!...Rammstien!!!!
I really like that she is embracing her height. Most girls at that age are awkward and try to diminish their height. Then she also has the Bee-hive Do all that makes her 7'0" tall.
Those opening notes slay me every time. I have yet to make it past them without crying. This must be my 50th seeing the reactor videos. Add to that the 50 times I've watched by myself and I've shed a lot of tears, and I've enjoyed every minute of it.
Angelina's singing touches my heart and heals my soul. She truly is a beautiful person. Sabina, I enjoyed your reaction very much and hope you feel better soon ... 😊🙏
It is just a very, very beautiful version of this classic song ❤️
What a wonderful reaction and comments Sabina, so nice to see you back with Angelina, she is a healer. Hope you recover soon. Angelina is in Norway doing live concerts, many places she performed as a younger child, and now a beautiful, eloquent, classy and poised young lady. There are a lot of concert uploads on YT with Angelina performing currently....lots and lots. Here are links to two of them, great audio and quality done by the TV2 folks in Norway recording the concert at Allsang pa Grensen. This is her live performance of Whitney's "I Have Nothing" :ua-cam.com/video/AqtIVYFjapQ/v-deo.html. This link, same concert is "Bohemian Rhapsody" live: ua-cam.com/video/TqMqyAi-bsc/v-deo.html. Enjoy, further healing will ensue.
Good to hear your reaction. Get well soon.
Sabina, I hope you are all better now. Your reaction is right in line with mine. I see comments that provide back story. All the more meaningful in retrospect. I so much like your authenticity as a reactor.
Thanks for showing me all these different voices and sounds.
You should react to her live concert performances from Norway, they are on the channel aasang pa grensen 2022
Noted, Thanks! ❤️
Fabulous reaction, Sabina, as usual. Get well!!
Your great Sabina, love your Elvis reactions.
Angelina Jordan Astar (born 10 January 2006) is a Norwegian child singer whose audition for the 2014 season of Norway’s Got Talent at the age of seven, singing “Gloomy Sunday” in the style of Billie Holiday, became a viral video online, and led to worldwide press coverage. She went on to win the competition (at eight) with her performance of George Gershwin’s “Summertime”. Since then she has worked to raise millions of dollars on behalf of environmental causes and children’s charities around the world. She always performs barefoot, after befriending a young shoeless girl while traveling when she was six years old. Jordan wrote a book about the experience and became the youngest published author in Norway.
In April 2016, she performed “Fly Me to the Moon” on the first season of the noncompetitive children’s talent show Little Big Shots. A year later she performed “What a Difference a Day Makes” on the UK version of the show. In 2014, Jordan created her own UA-cam channel to which she has posted TV appearances, official music videos, and live concert performances. In 2017, she created a second channel to present performances of cover songs. Several of her most popular videos have surpassed one million views.
This is my favorite performance by Angelina. And while I have used many words in the past to describe her voice, you gave me two more. DELICIOUS and YUMMY!! Loved your reaction, Sabrina, and I hope that you get well soon. 😊😊
Her stripped down slow pace rendition of this song is even more perfect for the lyrics than the original . She has proven once more that she is able to take an old masterpiece and make it current and her own. She is becoming a legend in her own lifetime. Thanks for the great review hope you are feeling better soon. 😀
Hope you're better quick! This was spectacular and possibly the best performance of her career thus far. That takes into consideration the vocals, the video, piano, and symbolism. I believe it surely is a taste of things to come.
Your reaction was sincere and enjoyable, but please remember to elevate your support for aspiring young artists like Angelina that you appreciate, as it will create fan loyalty. Encourage fans to like, comment, and subscribe to links you provide for BOTH you and Angelina. Equal priority for both! This includes the original video as well as the official Channel and cover Channel. Thank you for already providing the original video link. Young aspiring artists need and deserve your support for their algorithm and career. Thank you for all you do.
I’m glad you didn’t stop the video to analyze yet we were still able to read your commentary!
love your reactions always do a great job hope you feel better soon.
Great reaction Sabina. As someone once said - our Angelna doesn't cover songs, she uncovers them. Also, I have come to the conclusion that you don't listen to AJ's music - you absorb it.
