- Sometimes it's difficult to imagine how another person feels. But understanding what another person HEARS can also be complicated.
Adriaan is a scientist who has spent years looking through a microscope. He brings that same focus to the music of Angelina Jordan.

For all the long term, short sighted fans who claim she has lost her early nuance. This should shut them up. And UP is the only way she can go! Thanks Adriaan and Alan. This one was excellent.
@@MICHAELASHER. I’ve always found her attention to detail totally amazing. This has not changed over time, according to me.
Angelina will get a fight to breakout main stream. There’s others out there that have their fears of her. She is changing music . So it’s up to us to keep on supporting her. We know her. We care. We love her. So let’s protect her in every way possible.
@@Joseph-i1t I agree, we fans can be her shield and protect her from false criticism (driven by jealousy).
Thank you Michael for your incredible paintings and for discussing them on the Warm Blanket 🙏. So well done ❤
Yes this was very interesting indeed and enjoyable, thank you 🙏
Thank you! 🙏 I’m glad you found it interesting and enjoyable. That was the purpose. Thank you for your comment and all your other comments on Angelina related channels! When I see your name, I always read them and enjoy your opinion and insights 👍😊
Thank you so much. It's been a very informative and delightful interview.
Thank you Christina!
It is as if Angelina searches locations / rooms with special acoustics and just has to test how certain song function in that environment, and she changes her version to fit that specific acoustics.
Yes, I agree! She has an ear for special acoustics. Like when she sang in an underground parking lot or in a church, for instance. There are other places with special acoustics where she sang, you can probably name a few others 😊. Thank you for your comment 👍
All of these old men picking apart her every note is starting to creep me out! ( ps, I am 79)
You're projecting. I'm hearing a discussion of the brilliance of an artist.
@@jayrutter6111 I’m sorry that you find we’re going into too much detail. I’m only trying to point out things others might have missed and are really to enjoy, once you hear (or see) them. P.S. I’m 69.
When I taste something delicious I want to know all the ingredients, when I see a moving painting I want to know the artist's thoughts and technique, when the Gospel stirs my soul I want to know what else is therein. Angelina is phenomenal and I really appreciate every discussed nuance. Thank you gentlemen.
@@DRosseye I agree! When you like something, discovering more about it gives so much pleasure!
The bottom line for me is that, young or old, women or men, we are all essentially just people connected by universal love. That's the essence of Angelina's art and I believe these "old men" get that - which is why their dissections could never creep me out (I'm 58).
Creepy.
Hi, above loving her voice, I appreciate that every syllable is fully appreciated. She does not get lazy concentrating only on the big notes or runs. She gives respect to every consonant and vowel. The lister is not left wait for the next good part to enjoy the beauty. Everything is beautiful. She delights in every note and every nuance .
Thanks 🙏
@@jojomurphy-qw2vq I fully agree with you! Every note and transition between notes is beautiful, a true design by an incredible artist.
I am a scientist myself and appreciate the details Adriaan observed but typically I don't try to put much analysis into what I hear with music. Either I enjoy what I hear or I don't. With Angelina, my level of enjoyment is at a very high level.
Andy, I also enjoy Angelina at a high level, but in addition I also enjoy the small details 😊
@@adriaanrijllart5213 @andyschnell58 it's those small details, when explained and taken in, that enrich the experience. Some may or may not notice them, but when brought to light, they enhance the experience all over again.
So often I just enjoy the beauty of her sound without thinking of the complexity that she so naturally puts into that sound, her music. I always enjoy your, and others, ability to glean hidden techniques used by artists to enhance their craft, it's always interesting. But only after I have first let myself go, and just basked in the pure pleasure of her music. Wonderful background, as usual.
@@boz352 Also I often just enjoy the beauty of her sound, having it carry me up and away. Sometimes I notice some special details or other people point out interesting things. Thank you for your comment 🙏
I still puzzle over why Angelina's art has such an impact on me over the many other musical artists that I enjoy. The insights of others impacted in a similar way are enlightening indeed. I don't think analysis hurts the enjoyment at all. To the contrary it only enhances it.
On the other hand, people who comment about her appearance or lifestyle choices may verge on being inappropriate.
Angelina has put so much on social media and has added so much to my enjoyment of life.❤
Thanks Alan and Adrian.
Thank you, I’m happy you enjoyed it.
There is no doubt in my mind that Angelina is the most complex vocalist in existence. She is the MASTER of transition: chest to mixed to head voice to falsetto and back, in any order; breathy to crystal clear (and with total control of those vocal folds to allow exactly how much air through that she wants); pianissimo to piano to belt and back, again in any order; rapid vibrato to slow vibrato to an almost stutter vibrato and the list goes on. ALL of these transitions are completely seamless and appear effortless, and are not just randomly applied, but are deliberately and expertly used exactly where she deems appropriate to maximise the message and emotion in the song. Her absolute mastery of all these techniques enables her, to a vastly greater degree than any other artist I know, to sing the same song, even the same word, 20 times and make each time sound different. As for her focus, that is just as astounding; the first time I noticed it was when she was reading the lyrics during some of her performances, and never once missing her pitch, timing or phrasing!
Coupled with her own genius abilities of musicality, she has been mentored by the most improvisational
jazz singer of all time, that being Billie Holiday. Billie is separated from all other musical influences which
she confirmed in an interview where she stated that if not for the legendary music of Billie Holiday, there
would be no Angelina Jordan as we know her today. To a much more minor degree, she has adopted the
'slurring' of words that was made famous by Amy Winehouse that she will use on occasion, but make no
mistake about it. Angelina is the reincarnation of Billie, and when combined with her personal decisions
singing ballads, the end result is beyond miraculous. Billie also had 'a thing' about using her voice to emulate
actual musical instruments and Angelina has done this as well when she sang 'Mount Everest'.
And with all her techniques and the understanding of the song, she is able to transmit the emotions of the song to the listener, like no other. I’ve rarely had shivers from music and never tears before I heard Angelina
❤❤❤Love Angelina❤❤❤
Very interesting interview.
Thank you very much for sharing!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you, I’m happy you liked it!
Thanks, Adriaan and Alan. She uses language like Meri Zamani uses a paintbrush.... fantastic and wonderful.... unrestrained is the perfect word.
Thank you Bronxlenny, unrestrained is the right word! Unrestrained, she flies up into the sky of sound … and takes her listeners with her 😊❤
The lung capacity is enormous. I guess her height comes with bigger lungs. She can hold the notes for a very long time. At almost 6 ft. She is so special. Joey
Adrian is right. There are infinitables details I didn't catch. Thanks to him and to you as well for illuminating me. After all, as you said in your podcasts, expecially with Shakes and Boudy, there's no end to the depts of the " rabbit hole". Catching the "nod" is pure genious on Adrian's part. Once again, good job fellow Angel. 👍👏🫶👋
@@danilozaccaria9271 Thank you Danilo! This is a big compliment from a fellow Angel 🙏😍👋
What brought my attention to the “nod” was that she notices someone approaching at 9:38. Just a split second look. At 9:45 she looks again in the same direction and nods 😊
😀😀😀😀😀
She IS THE best voice in THE world
@@saturmartinezpasero48 Agreed! And I even think, best ever.
Check out Courtney Hadwin
@@maghrebianka The title of the main song in this video is 'Never Enough'. The first song other than that at 3:17 is Bohemian Rhapsody
@@maghrebiankaThank you, I listened to several of her songs. Not often that I heard someone sing a Janis Joplin song. Hard to stand up to, but I admire her courage. Everyone has its own favourite, of course.
@@adriaanrijllart5213 My favourite song by Courtney so far I think: ua-cam.com/video/bqZjDRXyxOo/v-deo.html
They have totally different voices, hard to compare, Courtney is phenomenal too, love them both ;)
What a pleasant surprise to see Adriaan again. Thanks Alan. Loved this analysis of Angelina singing that epic song. Some of us notice those things, but it's great to hear a description of them. Do you know if that is Egil Clausen on guitar? It sounds like him. He was traveling with the family at different times.
@@KenChawkin Hi Ken, great to hear from you! I’m almost sure that it’s Egil on the guitar, but no one has been able to confirm it. I think she is in Norway here, but that’s just my guess.
@@adriaanrijllart5213 Hi Adriaan! Your certainty is good enough for me. Maybe see you at the next concert.
@@KenChawkin Yes, it will be great to see you again at her next concert 👍
She enjoys singing not just for others but she just lives singing just for herself I think she's special ❤❤❤
I agree with you Linda, Angelina loves singing, so she sings, whether someone is listening or not. Fortunately for us, her grandma is usually not far and she has recorded so many wonderful moments ❤. I’m sure Angelina is special, or better, extraordinarily special ❤. Thank you for your spot on comment 🙏❤
This was wonderful Adrian and I get to hear Angelina again.... Oh there was one time where Angelina did get distracted while singing and playing piano with Athena and Aries ua-cam.com/video/Zgcu8YfGTww/v-deo.html
Yes, that’s right. But that was something big. An interruption to enjoy all the same 😊
And here she did get distracted by Juliette : ua-cam.com/video/q-esPeHV_gE/v-deo.html
@@markuskomann3108 Here she did not stop singing once and did not loose her place in the song even though Juliette was all over her. So not exactly the same.
@@markuskomann3108 Yes, a great moment! Juliette tries hard to distract Angelina, but she keeps singing anyway ❤️
Thank you Alan and Adriian, wonderful discussion. I'm like others in that I often miss many of the wonderful and numerous, glorious details that our young musical genius includes in her performances - so deeply appreciate those like Adriian who can pick up on them. I HAVE noticed the way she'll make beautiful never-repeated variations when repeating a phrase. "I'm a bad valentine" is only the most recent, amazing, example 😇♥️.
Thank you Steve. I’m happy you enjoyed it.
Hello, Adriaan, so nice to see you again. And good morning, also, to you, Alan. I love these practice/rehearsal/informal moments. They always make me want to hear her do the song in an official public performance, because she tends take it even further and more "finished/polished." Thank you, Adriaan. Your detailed observations give words to the details I hear that draw me in to the song, again and again, to hear it anew each time. I love Angelina Jordan, the vocal artist and composer. 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜
Thank you Ellen! It’s so nice to hear from you! Angelina’s songs can indeed be enjoyed over and over again. Part of this magic may be the large number of fine details she puts in her songs. I’ve come to realise that I very likely only get some of them. I love to share them with others, hoping they will point out some that I have missed. This song is special to me, because Angelina is singing in an empty hall and I was listening to it in an empty airport terminal (Beijing T3) where I had an 8 hour layover in the evening. I started writing down some of the details and I thought: I have to send this to Alan. Maybe he can use it in one of his videos. Angelina Jordan is the most talented vocal artist I know. A vocal Picasso, as many say ❤❤❤. Best wishes Ellen! 😘
@@adriaanrijllart5213 Sir, I am of the same heart on the matter.
Love Angelina ❤❤❤
Yes !!! ❤❤❤
Darn it, Alan. You expressed exactly what I was going to say🙄😇🌺
Hi John, are you referring to a particular phrase or to all what Alan said?
@@adriaanrijllart5213 just about all, ha ha ha. He is always so precise. I only wish I could come up with what he does. A true Angel. 😇🌺
@@johnroache32 Yes, I agree! 😇
Very nice and interesting conversation thank you very much :) Danke:)
Thank you Viola! I’m happy you liked it 😊

ua-cam.com/video/2z6MNi2Vr7E/v-deo.htmlsi=B1TmnzATO_KKgI2R….Toby Gad has reworked many of his best know compositions with voices and instrumentations as he wants it. This version starts acapella and piano then cello joins in. There is a UA-cam withinstrumentation from the start, but I-prefer this acapella beginning.
I prefer this version too! It’s beautiful ❤
If one has musical taste,they would understand these men's analysis.
Thank you Loretta
