She’s 9 years old here NINE!!!!!Attitude is part of it but she’s an old soul and she’s invoking and ling it. There’s many who perform. Angelina lives what she sings!!!!!!!!!!
I agree: everyone made it great. But the reason so many say Angelina made it great is that she chose the band, she directed the arrangement of the song, she was the boss of the operation, and then sang it with attitude so it was done right (and may have done several takes to get certain parts just right). So yes, it wasn't just one person, it was the music director, the lyricist, the vocalist, and the melding of all musicians together. Angelina gets praise for this performance because at 9 she played these multiple roles. On this set, they called her "the boss". And if you asked her, I'm sure she'd say, "we were lucky to be able to work together to do this."
He doesn't get it because she is liked by so many and he's just here reacting to her badly, kinda like if he's jealous and tries to find any hair out of place to complain about. Js
@@patriciakromrei5466 You are soo right Patricia. All the detours he is taking here so not to give Angelina her due credit. I dont want to be negative but he is pushing me.
I noticed the smile on your face I thought you liked this one she was only 9yrs old here she arranged everything for this song Angelina really knows her music she’s just beyond amazing I agree the band has to be spot on or it spoils everything love the guitar brilliant playing Love 💕 from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴🥰👍👏👏👏👏👋
It’s funny because you are right, her dramatic performance outshines her vocal performance, you can still hear the child singing, but you don’t care because of how she wraps it in her dramatic performance, which most perceive as emotion and connection to the song.
I so agree about walks .. nothing better for self reflection and also nourishing me. Before I forget .. I love your t- shirts .. this owl and a great wolf you had on another video, Gorgeous. This video .. outrageous .. she is NINE YEARS OLD! Added on another listening ... YES! It took everyone. This band was absolutely perfect and they played as one. Beautiful. Angelina was another instrument in that amazing band. Is it not amazing when that really happens? Loved loved the pianist and the horns .. but really? .. everyone.
After six years of following this young child and now a young lady this is still my favorite song of hers because of the sheer creativity of what she did
Love your reactions, your ramblings are really interesting and on point. She had a lot of input in the arrangement, the musicians called her the Boss. I think Angelina will get back to these kind of arrangements and this kind of singing when her voice has matured fully, there is a lot of fire in that little girl, that hasn’t gone away. Great reaction 🎶
Yeah, it's AJ's attitude -- and the attitude of the band. They are all having a blast. The unbelievable thing is, the band is riffing with a 9 year old child who is in total control.
Angelina brings the attitude to every song, whatever the spirit of the original. She's amazingly keyed into that. A talent all its own, in addition to her magnificent voice.
'Screaming' Jay Hawkins' most famous recording from 1956, see the tribute in the start (4 min 35s) in your video. If interested in instrumental players, you should listen to another more recent version by Angelina at a Jazz festival in this one ua-cam.com/video/lW8g5QmTLY0/v-deo.html . Thanks for your reaction, and I agree the performance is made great by everybody on the scene.
Sassy 9 year 2 month old Angelina takes control of the studio and owns the band as she kills this 1956 classic by Screamin Jay Hawkins. As always, it begins with her arrangement then the vocal choices she makes. Musical genius with a voice made in heaven.
PLEASE support this inspiring young artist with these simple steps. 1. Post the links to her original video and to all her channels in your description. 2. Pause a few times during reaction for commentary. 3. Encourage viewers to go to the uninterrupted original video and Angelina's channels at conclusion of your presentation. We all need to do our part for Angelina, and it compromises her goals if reactors don't follow these guidelines. I trust you will show her the respect she deserves as I am doing my part as a fan, and also a subscriber to your channel. Thank you for your ongoing support, and know that you are instrumental in helping Angelina achieve her aspirations of singing for the world!
Ellis, thanks for this nice reaction with Angelina. This is the homage of Angelina to Screamin' (the portrait on the candle) and isn't an imitation, rather a tribute to a singer she has much listened to and admires. Certainly the only girl in the world who knows him and who also thinks of singing him without any fear is she. It's incredible that this adaptation is all her own (the sheets written) and that at that age she was able to evaluate and transform, according to her sensitivity, such a particular and powerful song 😊 ❤️ This is Angelina, the incredible magical little girl and this is probably the best reinterpretation made by a singer in over 60 years of this song. But please include Angelina's original link, for support her 🤗
There's another practice session with these musicians 'Portrait of a Child' that you would absolutely love. Here's the link ua-cam.com/video/SAkZDAXJA4E/v-deo.html Its another Jay Hawkins cover that she's changed from Portrait of a Man to Portrait of a Child. Use the link provided because the older one hasn't got subtitles.
Not only did you make my night by reacting to this but you big time made my night by shouting out Stevie Ray Vaughan, my all time favorite. Love the Blues and living in Chicago, I've heard so many amazing artists. You're right, everyone was great and having an amazing band is so important. Thanks so much for this reaction and I love hearing you play your guitar 🧡
Good reaction, you brought up some important points. However, Angelina had a bigger role than you are aware of. Yes this was supposed to be a basic blues song. The day the original was recorded (Screamin' Jay Hawkins - image on the candle) the producer brought in food and a load of beers. They all had maybe a little too much of the beer, hence a performance totally uninhibited! The result was more a piece of theatre than a song. Angelina gave her own interpretation, plus adjustments to the musical arrangement (notes she wrote to the producer). Also, she chose the musicians that she had worked with before. Attitude - yes she saw that this was the essential element in this performance. Angelina is into jazz in a big way, so this is what she gave us. Her vocal talent is quite obvious, her timing and phrasing, and that incredible breath control. All of this from a 9 year old. I'm glad that you liked it - there is so much more for you to enjoy!

And most people seeing and hearing this understand that this is not the average 9 year old girl. All of the arrangement is her own arrangement. She is currently 15 years old.
The pianist was interviewed by a paper and he said that Angelina was one of the best musicians he had ever worked with. He is an award-winning jazz pianist btw. Those musicians were all top drawer 🎶
@@mrstlu4838 That's not surprising of course. Thanks for sharing. Alan interviewed both guitarist who accompanied Angelina and I'll die for in person interview from Alan Papier. 😇🤩
I like that everyone comes here to see you blown away, and amazed by Angelina, and you are flattered by the music arrangement! Honest reaction. I did't really like the first one you made to Angelina, I think you were tipsy. :) Now I like that you are so unique. Keep it up.
You have some the most unique reactions I’ve ever watched, and as I discovered reactions during lockdown, I’ve watched a ton. I’ve always had a very eclectic taste in music. I listen to everything from classical to country. I’m currently into Angelina and a cappella. A cappella is probably sacrilege to you, but I think you would like some stuff by Home Free, try “When A Man Loves a Woman” Cats are never impressed.
Arrangement? by Angelina Jordan. She rearranged it from the original arranged and sung by singer (and writer) of the song many many moons ago. His name was Screamin' Jay Hawkins. That was his photo on the candle she held up at the start of the video. Do you really think all of us discount the musicians? Where do you get that from? This band was amazing .. and truly everyone was connected and playing the same piece of music (yes, the vibe, the structure, the "attitude" too.) It is essential .. every one of them is.
I’m Norwegian and love to go for longer walks without meeting people! I’m always hiking, today I have walked twice. Each hike for about an hour. I hear and understand you completely! 👍🏻😁
ES INCREÍBLEMENTE MARAVILLOSA ANGELINA ES ESPECIAL CON SU INTERPRETACION Y SU VOZ...NOS VOLÓ LA CABEZA CUANDO LA ESCUCHAMOS POR PRIMERA VEZ Y HOY NOS SIGUE SORPRENDIENDO Y NO PODEMOS CREER QUE ES SOLO UNA NIÑA GUAUUUUUU GUAUUUUUU ANGELINA POSEES UN GRAN TALENTOOOOO FELICIDADES MUÑEQUITA 😇👣💯💯💥🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤GRACIAS POR SU REACCIÓN CON TAN BUENA ONDA CHAUUUU 😁👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤
I've listened to my fair share of Stevie Ray Vaughan, and I agree, he's up there looking down on the rest of the guitar legends. He certaintly is my favourite guitar player, hands down. It's the flow he had, the crazy creativity, the feel and how he embodied music with his (obviously) superb technique. I think Angelina is a lot like Stevie! You could say those same exact things about her.
Choo Choo getting a little better at reacting. Thanks so much for your time Ellis. Angelina was great and as you stated the band was also great. Thumbs up sir.
You have such a long road ahead with all her covers & a few originals, but you mentioned SRV he was &still is the best I don't think anyone will surpass him!

Sadly Angelina's grandfather died in 2018. Angelina’s maternal grandmother Mery Zamani has had tremendous influence on Angelina and her career as she introduced Angelina to Jazz at an early age. Mery is a famous Iranian contemporary writer, poet and painter who was also a child prodigy herself being on Radio Iran's Children program at age 4 and began writing poetry and painting by the age of 9. Later Mery was trained in art at the Tokyo Academy in Japan where she met her husband, who was Japanese, during her master degree's training in Japan. There is a nine year old video showing some of Mery's artwork in a home setting: ua-cam.com/video/i9NxX0tSjS0/v-deo.html ---- Mery has a UA-cam channel that supports Angelina called Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz: ua-cam.com/channels/hM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPig.html. There are lots of videos in it that could only have been taken by an insider or family member. Mery is also widely known under the artist alias name Mosarz ---- Mery illustrated the book that Angelina wrote ("Mellom to hjerter" that translates to Between Two Hearts) and had published in November 2015 when Angelina was 9 years-old and became the youngest published author in Norway. The book is based on Angelina's notes in her diary/notebooks and describes her meeting with a shoeless girl. A podcast was published by Angelina’s publisher, Cappelen Damm, in 2015. In it Angelina talks with Erling Kittelsen, a Norwegian author and poet and friend of the family, about her book. Angelina tells of her understanding with the little girl that Angelina will not wear shoes when she performs and that the little girl will pray for Angelina. During pauses in the talk, we hear small extracts from the book. This book should be put on a children's reading list: ua-cam.com/video/6p6iL989P_8/v-deo.html There are three published Angelina videos created and directed by Mery: ---- Fly Me To The Moon (as a 10-year old: ua-cam.com/video/jnnzbdt4_RE/v-deo.html. On March 23, 2021 you reacted to a shortened version she sung on TV 2 on Senkveld "The Late Show" when Angelina was 8-years old) ---- When You're Smiling (as an 11-year old. This is fun video that starts out with Angelina missing school attendance in her classroom. She is riding a bike and comes across a sad girl crying and stops to see what is wrong. You will have to watch the video to see what happens next: ua-cam.com/video/bLuNQ6s7fCQ/v-deo.html) ---- Shield (Angelina wrote this song at 12-years old. Mery did an artistic video of Angelina performing Shield at 13-years old: ua-cam.com/video/m8OCbAlr_48/v-deo.html. Note that in my opinion the best performance of this song was by Angelina as a 12-year old on the very popular Scandinavian talk show Skavlan (2.5 to 3 million viewers per show): ua-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/v-deo.html) [In the interview (changes to English at about 0:36 mark) before Angelina sung on Skavlan, paraphrasing, she said that when she sings she goes into an endless other world that is full of happiness. She said that the song Shield is about someone you love and whose strong love protects you wherever you are. Angelina said the song's sound was inspired by the Bond films. Her favorite Bond film songs are Diamonds Are Forever and Goldfinger. She sings a few bars of Diamonds Are Forever a cappella. She said that a highlight of her career was singing for Quincy Jones' 85th birthday concert in London. When asked if she feels like a 12 year old, Angelina says she only does when she looks at her passport: ua-cam.com/video/97hjWg4ToRQ/v-deo.html] ---- 7th Heaven (wrote as a 15-year old. There are three video versions. The audio only version with the last measure being different: ua-cam.com/video/N0yK_07a1_U/v-deo.html. The lyric version that uses Mery’s painting Rows Of Angels as the background and the original audio: ua-cam.com/video/o4Vl3I1WWq4/v-deo.html. The studio version: ua-cam.com/video/bM8DzMRbiIc/v-deo.html) [The studio video was created by Stargate who is a top shelf record producing and songwriting team (Tor E. Hermansen and Mikkel S. Eriksen) that is now based in Los Angeles. The team's genres include R&B, pop and hip hop. They have won 4 Grammy Awards and been nominated 17 times. Besides Angelina, they have produced or written for Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Lionel Richie, Wiz Khalifa, Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Rita Ora, Normani, Mis-Teeq, Celine Dion, Blue, Janet Jackson, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Sam Smith, Mary J. Blige, Ne-Yo, Katy Perry, Coldplay, Pink, Sia, Whitney Houston, Nas, Chris Brown, Khalid, Charli XCX, Trey Songz and others.] [Angelina said: “The initial idea for ‘7th Heaven’ was that I love the number 7, and ‘heaven’ is such a powerful word and makes you dream away,” she explained. “I collaborated with Stargate to create ‘7th Heaven.’ The background story of making this song was that I had this melody that I played for Tor and Mikkel and it turned out that they loved the idea and it went pretty smooth from there to the finish [the] song.” Angelina and her team kept tweaking the song until it was perfect and ready for release. “We definitely tried many different elements to feel the right sound to it,” she said.] [Angelina also revealed that she is often inspired to create music from personal pain: “Strong emotions, mainly painful ones, often make me write music,” she shared.] [Angelina said that the music video will look like: “The visual will look something like old school meets new school kinda vibe to it,” she assured. “I love the styles they had before and I want to bring it back again.”]
I'm pretty sure she did the arrangement. You see her hand the guy the sheets. He giggles.... This was a tribrute to Groucho Marx(sp) She is a reincarnated soul that can't be taught.....I can just imagine what they thought the first time they saw her... I love the classics she does......... Fly me to the moon, Summertime, Gloomy Sunday. Exactly That's what I love about our Canadian Masters Rush. All members are a band...... back in the day everyone had there part in a song....... Rush, Led Zepplin, Genesis . Cheers
Screamin Jay is the original artist of I put a spell on you and his picture is on the candle she holds at the beginning. This is really a tribute. She does a lot.
My different types of music i mostly listen to is ..Angelina obviously .. Tom MacDonald, Nova, Metallica, ACDC, Five Finger death Punch and Tony OConner ( sleep music ) ohh and Neil Diamond (EDIT) I forgot Florida Georgia Line
What you're trying to say...I think....is: The most important thing about singers is how they move people. You don't have to have incredible vocal skills to do that, but it doesn't hurt. Some people with incredible vocal talent cannot move people, and some people with mediocre vocal talent can do it as well as the most gifted singers (Johnny Cash - Hurt comes to mind).
This performance is astonishing on every level. I wish you would have talked about Angelina and her ridiculous vocals more instead of showing off your musical knowledge, which doesn't appear to be a substantial as you think it is.
We-e-ell… I wouldn't say _nothing_ like the original. While it doesn't sound much like the 1956 studio recording, the musical arrangement here is actually pretty similar to some live performances Screamin' Jay Hawkins did much later (specifically, in the 1990s - performances, BTW, which were already on UA-cam when Angelina would have been deciding how she wanted to do the song). So it's possible they (Angelina and the band) were basing this arrangement on one of those live performances. Note that I'm not saying she wasn't involved at all with deciding how this would be played. I just think that saying she "did the arrangement herself" is perhaps a bit of an overstatement. That being said, I should point out that we know, based on both testimony and actual video evidence, that she definitely "knew her shit" when it came to music, even at this young of an age. (Note to Ellis: If no one's mentioned this yet, there's a video of a rehearsal from when she was 8 where she names the exact note she wants the trumpet player to hit at one point in the song ["Ais", meaning A-sharp]. And they weren't working off of sheet music; she just knew what the note should be.)
like your reactions, but I just have a friendly objection that you may not even think about. You talk a lot about the musicians, and the technicalities around this. You seem to forget the vocalist almost completely. I will continue to follow you. It's your channel and you do what you feel. Have a nice day. She is just 9 years old here!
I Slidely disagree. The reaction consists also of the nonverbal reaction and that was evidently clear with great appreciation and smiles. I like it that the obvious is not emphasized again, but the things we are likely to miss
Many who follow Angelina especially enjoy her performances with the guitarist Ivan Mendez. Sadly they haven't worked together for a while, and some of wonder why they haven't worked together for a few years? Do you have any opinion why? Glad to hear you love SRV. I was privileged to watch him perform in a small Fort Worth bar back in 1983. :)
I'm a huge blues fan. So l love her blues performances. Try her modest rewrite of l just want to make love to you (titled Lovin You). Or her cover of It's a man's world (the one at the jazz festival; not the Norwegian Armed Forces Orchestra) Also if you like SRV, try Joe Bonamassa, maybe with Beth Hart; I'll Take Care of You). Finally AJ worked with some of these same guys in a practice session trying out Screamin Jay Hawkins Portrait of a Man, rewritten as Portrait of a Child. See how she rolls when working on songs with professional musicians and why she gets their respect.
When you were talking about how everyone had to be great to make this great (not just Angelina), I was thinking, yeah, but you've gotta admit, if you didn't know anything about Angelina beforehand, and you had to choose the one person in this lineup who had the potential to FUBAR this more than anyone else, it would have been the little girl who was fixin' to sing. [LOL]
To that dude your talking about. The music does not lead the singer. The singer leads the tempo. A good musician can follow no problem. The music structure will always remain the same to the song. Without that adjustment the singer is knocked of balance. It becomes nothing more than an instrumental with a voice accent. One cannot overpower the other.
This is not a reaction to Angelina but rather a reaction concerning the musical arrangements and the musicians,and it is very well done. But it would be necessary to indicate it and stop representing that it is about a reaction to Angelina.
Great reaction as ever but bear in mind AJ was the creative driving force behind this production..as much as the stunning vocals I think this demonstrates creative genius at any age never mind 9..the band call he4 the Boss ...
40 thumbs overturned ... Against whom are these strangers reacting? Angie's performance? It is a piece of anthology! The musician's analyzes? He has a point of view that defends itself ... Dr. Palmer, founder of chiropractic, noted that above the atlas (first vertebra), it is impossible to fix the subluxations ...
Yes all the muisc was very good and professional .Angulina hired good musicians. But any of the studio musicians could be replaced by others who could do the same. The irreplaceable element is Angulina Jordon. Thay deserve recognition. But she is the star. If you go to a concert the ticket taker is involved. Nobody goes to a concert to see the ticket taker. When she gets around to touring nobody will be going to watch her backup musicians. Thay will be there. Thay will be good. Thay deserve respect. But any of them are replaceable. She's not replaceable.
Nice reaction, liked your breakdown, check out Something's Got a Hold of Me. You need to buy her book and read it, you will than understand how someone so young knows the attitude of some one older, her mind thoughts are way beyond her years. It's available on her channel, help support this talented little girl. God Bless!
Aw, but c’mon... tell us what you think about Angelina! 😳 😬😁 Your reactions are always informative and educational. We don’t always come away from them with what we want, however. 😜 Nice reaction Ellis. 👍
LOL - I Put A Spell On You was written and performed by Screamin' Jay Hawkins in 1956. You can review one of his performances ua-cam.com/video/orNpH6iyokI/v-deo.html for insight into AJ's offering - she, as 9y/o, took his theatrics and made her magic! HA HA HA
It's about the artist not the musicians ! You're reaction should be about Angelina ! No one cares about your breakdown about the musical score ! I appreciate you like the song and for your information that is a classic standard blues ballad known throughout the world ! You really don't have a grasp of American blues music history ! Screamin Jay Hawkins is an American blues singer whose original rendition came out in 1956 and has been cover thousands of times ! I wish you all the very best now I understand your channel is about musicians and musical score and not about voice analysis and techniques ! I wish you all the very best in all your future endeavours but I will follow other reactors and vocal analysts that I'm in tune with ! I'm a musician and you have a great understanding of music and your guitar work is spot on ! Thanks again and have a great day ! 👍🇨🇦🤗
I believe you said you weren't familiar with the original (by Screamin' Jay Hawkins, circa 1956), so here it is: ua-cam.com/video/orNpH6iyokI/v-deo.html. After listening to the original, listen to Angelina's arrangement again. It makes apparent the genius of this 9-year-old musician: AJ captures the spirit of Hawkins' iconic bluesy/jazzy version, but then improves on it. For example, she has perfect vibrato and even screams and growls on pitch! When I first heard this recording, I realized AJ is indeed a child prodigy.
Ellis my oldest son makes the most wicked great Cre''me Brule'e I've ever taste and I've been lucky enough to taste some pretty damn good takes on that dish. But I would eat his off that lid. Now I might not dig in to the bottom the way I do his. The top down to an eighth of an inch would be in trouble. Angelina never sang this song this way ever again because of possible vocal damage, but nobody seems to mind. Angelina during her 10-11 year had some of the best most complete vocals of songs that I've heard. What I mean by that is when she sang whatever she went for she got. These were the more traditional songs like, 'Fly Me To The Moon', 'Feelin' Good' and this song she just sang. You should see how she is in front of an audience. She opened for Nora Jones in Seoul. Nora wanted her to do one more song watch the video to see what happens. ua-cam.com/video/kpGGO3rI06Q/v-deo.html Ellis I am breaking protocol here. I am also sending you a link for a song, 'All I Want For Christmas' cover sung by Daneliya. It is live and she is basically the same age as Angelina. Even though it is a seasonal song, I listen to it at least once a week just to brighten my mood. Look how much fun she is having on stage. Anyway, listen to her if you will. ua-cam.com/video/xosWO7I4tiE/v-deo.html
OK, Ellis. If this piece is in your "pocket," then check out Angelina singing the Etta James' song, "I'd Rather Go Blind." Angelina's version was uploaded when she was 13, but several major fans say she was 12 when she recorded it. It's short, so you would have time to follow it up with Etta's version. That would make for some interesting comparisons. Angelina (live / single take) ua-cam.com/video/pK8mMXQb3_I/v-deo.html Etta (audio) ua-cam.com/video/u9sq3ME0JHQ/v-deo.html On the plectrum or strummed instrument side, I offer two performances that should readily hold your attention. I know that a lifetime may not be long enough to master six strings, so how about an instrument with just three: the balalaika? Here is the link to Alexei Arkhipovskiy playing a medley of pieces on the balalaika in a performance that he calls Sharmanka. ua-cam.com/video/F6pPP2kfHzU/v-deo.html Closer to home for you is a 17-year-old girl who bills herself as "Tina S" playing a classical piece on guitar. 36 million views; must be something to it. ... How much "woodshed" time do you think she spent honing this performance? Oh, and, does she smile enough for you, given critiques you have received on the same matter? ua-cam.com/video/o6rBK0BqL2w/v-deo.html
Someone used juxtaposition but couldn’t describe the sassiness the Boss - as they call her - managed to portrait here. Oh picked up a guitar? Inspiring, isn’t she? :) Here’s another one in the pocket: ua-cam.com/video/MkhGgqXywU8/v-deo.html
It definitely matters. Ellis has his own twist on his reactions, he is different, and I love that. If everyone reacted the same way, how boring would that have been 😊
@@rongotwalt4487 I respect your opinion, but I am curious to why. Ellis is using his expertise, from his musician point of view, and he is of course reacting the way he wants when it comes to his own channel. There is no ABC to how to make a reaction video, that is solely up to the reactor. As long as he is on point, and knowing what he is talking about, he is doing very well, in my opinion. Just my 5 rupiah on this matter 😊
I wonder if Angelina might disagree with you given how collaborative she is with every musician she’s worked with and her involvement in the musical arrangement beyond her vocals alone.
She’s 9 years old here NINE!!!!!Attitude is part of it but she’s an old soul and she’s invoking and ling it. There’s many who perform. Angelina lives what she sings!!!!!!!!!!
I agree: everyone made it great. But the reason so many say Angelina made it great is that she chose the band, she directed the arrangement of the song, she was the boss of the operation, and then sang it with attitude so it was done right (and may have done several takes to get certain parts just right). So yes, it wasn't just one person, it was the music director, the lyricist, the vocalist, and the melding of all musicians together. Angelina gets praise for this performance because at 9 she played these multiple roles. On this set, they called her "the boss". And if you asked her, I'm sure she'd say, "we were lucky to be able to work together to do this."
He doesn't get it because she is liked by so many and he's just here reacting to her badly, kinda like if he's jealous and tries to find any hair out of place to complain about. Js
@@patriciakromrei5466 No one forced you to watch it and also people react differently.
@@patriciakromrei5466 You are soo right Patricia. All the detours he is taking here so not to give Angelina her due credit. I dont want to be negative but he is pushing me.
My very favorite. Amazing.
I noticed the smile on your face I thought you liked this one she was only 9yrs old here she arranged everything for this song Angelina really knows her music she’s just beyond amazing I agree the band has to be spot on or it spoils everything love the guitar brilliant playing Love 💕 from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴🥰👍👏👏👏👏👋
Talent plus working consistently and receiving high quality instruction since an early age. And absolute love for it.
She practices her craft, including attitude presentation the whole package
It's cool to hear someone talk about key, chords, etc, with her video.
So happy you like KORK, the Norwegian Musicians. We actually have some good jazz players here 😊 and they all say yes if Angelina ask
It’s funny because you are right, her dramatic performance outshines her vocal performance, you can still hear the child singing, but you don’t care because of how she wraps it in her dramatic performance, which most perceive as emotion and connection to the song.
Your smile throughout says it all. I see your appreciation of all the talent in this recording including the vocalist. Great reaction 😊
Just like taking walks Angelina will make your day, I guarantee you. Her voice can make you smile, comfort you and put your mind at ease.
I so agree about walks .. nothing better for self reflection and also nourishing me. Before I forget .. I love your t- shirts .. this owl and a great wolf you had on another video, Gorgeous.
This video .. outrageous .. she is NINE YEARS OLD!
Added on another listening ... YES! It took everyone. This band was absolutely perfect and they played as one. Beautiful. Angelina was another instrument in that amazing band. Is it not amazing when that really happens? Loved loved the pianist and the horns .. but really? .. everyone.
After six years of following this young child and now a young lady this is still my favorite song of hers because of the sheer creativity of what she did
It’s been said that the session musicians thought they were being pranked when they saw this little 9 yo girl walk in, until she started to sing 😂
Love your reactions, your ramblings are really interesting and on point. She had a lot of input in the arrangement, the musicians called her the Boss. I think Angelina will get back to these kind of arrangements and this kind of singing when her voice has matured fully, there is a lot of fire in that little girl, that hasn’t gone away.
Great reaction 🎶
Yeah, it's AJ's attitude -- and the attitude of the band. They are all having a blast. The unbelievable thing is, the band is riffing with a 9 year old child who is in total control.
Angelina brings the attitude to every song, whatever the spirit of the original. She's amazingly keyed into that. A talent all its own, in addition to her magnificent voice.
'Screaming' Jay Hawkins' most famous recording from 1956, see the tribute in the start (4 min 35s) in your video. If interested in instrumental players, you should listen to another more recent version by Angelina at a Jazz festival in this one ua-cam.com/video/lW8g5QmTLY0/v-deo.html . Thanks for your reaction, and I agree the performance is made great by everybody on the scene.
Sassy 9 year 2 month old Angelina takes control of the studio and owns the band as she kills this 1956 classic by Screamin Jay Hawkins. As always, it begins with her arrangement then the vocal choices she makes. Musical genius with a voice made in heaven.
PLEASE support this inspiring young artist with these simple steps.
1. Post the links to her original video and to all her channels in your description.
2. Pause a few times during reaction for commentary.
3. Encourage viewers to go to the uninterrupted original video and Angelina's channels at conclusion of your presentation.
We all need to do our part for Angelina, and it compromises her goals if reactors don't follow these guidelines. I trust you will show her the respect she deserves as I am doing my part as a fan, and also a subscriber to your channel. Thank you for your ongoing support, and know that you are instrumental in helping Angelina achieve her aspirations of singing for the world!
Ellis, thanks for this nice reaction with Angelina. This is the homage of Angelina to Screamin' (the portrait on the candle) and isn't an imitation, rather a tribute to a singer she has much listened to and admires. Certainly the only girl in the world who knows him and who also thinks of singing him without any fear is she. It's incredible that this adaptation is all her own (the sheets written) and that at that age she was able to evaluate and transform, according to her sensitivity, such a particular and powerful song 😊 ❤️
This is Angelina, the incredible magical little girl and this is probably the best reinterpretation made by a singer in over 60 years of this song. But please include Angelina's original link, for support her 🤗
There's another practice session with these musicians 'Portrait of a Child' that you would absolutely love. Here's the link ua-cam.com/video/SAkZDAXJA4E/v-deo.html Its another Jay Hawkins cover that she's changed from Portrait of a Man to Portrait of a Child. Use the link provided because the older one hasn't got subtitles.
This one is amazing, don't miss it!
Yes you are right she works very hard she started with jazz at a very young age i watch your reactions be cause of your knowledge and honesty .
Not only did you make my night by reacting to this but you big time made my night by shouting out Stevie Ray Vaughan, my all time favorite. Love the Blues and living in Chicago, I've heard so many amazing artists. You're right, everyone was great and having an amazing band is so important. Thanks so much for this reaction and I love hearing you play your guitar 🧡
Good reaction, you brought up some important points. However, Angelina had a bigger role than you are aware of. Yes this was supposed to be a basic blues song. The day the original was recorded (Screamin' Jay Hawkins - image on the candle) the producer brought in food and a load of beers. They all had maybe a little too much of the beer, hence a performance totally uninhibited! The result was more a piece of theatre than a song. Angelina gave her own interpretation, plus adjustments to the musical arrangement (notes she wrote to the producer). Also, she chose the musicians that she had worked with before. Attitude - yes she saw that this was the essential element in this performance. Angelina is into jazz in a big way, so this is what she gave us. Her vocal talent is quite obvious, her timing and phrasing, and that incredible breath control. All of this from a 9 year old. I'm glad that you liked it - there is so much more for you to enjoy!
You have a great platform for Angelina as you shine a different light on her performances. Next one please!
A Magical Message discovered on a Post-it Note resting on some Sheet Music... "By choosing to be our most authentic & loving self, we leave a trail of magic everywhere we go." - Emmanuel Ps. We thank you Mr. ElliLamarMusic & Miss. Angilina Jordan, so Fantastic!" Please help Miss. Jordan Heal Humanity! Share Love, Hope & Joy to All...
And most people seeing and hearing this understand that this is not the average 9 year old girl. All of the arrangement is her own arrangement. She is currently 15 years old.
You're right it was everyone. Would love to see an interview with those guys. Thanks for sharing a wonderful reaction. A masterpiece IMHO
The pianist was interviewed by a paper and he said that Angelina was one of the best musicians he had ever worked with. He is an award-winning jazz pianist btw. Those musicians were all top drawer 🎶
@@mrstlu4838 That's not surprising of course. Thanks for sharing. Alan interviewed both guitarist who accompanied Angelina and I'll die for in person interview from Alan Papier. 😇🤩
I like that everyone comes here to see you blown away, and amazed by Angelina, and you are flattered by the music arrangement! Honest reaction. I did't really like the first one you made to Angelina, I think you were tipsy. :) Now I like that you are so unique. Keep it up.
You have some the most unique reactions I’ve ever watched, and as I discovered reactions during lockdown, I’ve watched a ton.
I’ve always had a very eclectic taste in music. I listen to everything from classical to country. I’m currently into Angelina and a cappella. A cappella is probably sacrilege to you, but I think you would like some stuff by Home Free, try “When A Man Loves a Woman”
Cats are never impressed.
Good morning…hope you have a wonderful day…thank you for playing this song…I knew you would like it…
Great reaction, nice guitar work. Great cat!
You said juxtaposition....🎶🦅
Arrangement? by Angelina Jordan. She rearranged it from the original arranged and sung by singer (and writer) of the song many many moons ago. His name was Screamin' Jay Hawkins. That was his photo on the candle she held up at the start of the video. Do you really think all of us discount the musicians? Where do you get that from? This band was amazing .. and truly everyone was connected and playing the same piece of music (yes, the vibe, the structure, the "attitude" too.) It is essential .. every one of them is.
I’m Norwegian and love to go for longer walks without meeting people! I’m always hiking, today I have walked twice. Each hike for about an hour. I hear and understand you completely! 👍🏻😁
The barefoot princess with a thousand voices arranged this song. It's screaming Jay Hawkings 1956 song.
ES INCREÍBLEMENTE MARAVILLOSA ANGELINA ES ESPECIAL CON SU INTERPRETACION Y SU VOZ...NOS VOLÓ LA CABEZA CUANDO LA ESCUCHAMOS POR PRIMERA VEZ Y HOY NOS SIGUE SORPRENDIENDO Y NO PODEMOS CREER QUE ES SOLO UNA NIÑA GUAUUUUUU GUAUUUUUU ANGELINA POSEES UN GRAN TALENTOOOOO FELICIDADES MUÑEQUITA 😇👣💯💯💥🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤GRACIAS POR SU REACCIÓN CON TAN BUENA ONDA CHAUUUU 😁👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤
I've listened to my fair share of Stevie Ray Vaughan, and I agree, he's up there looking down on the rest of the guitar legends. He certaintly is my favourite guitar player, hands down. It's the flow he had, the crazy creativity, the feel and how he embodied music with his (obviously) superb technique. I think Angelina is a lot like Stevie! You could say those same exact things about her.
Another wonderful song Paying Homage to Screaming Jay Hawkins from 1955. She is so Talented ok Gifted 100% Prodigy.
Choo Choo getting a little better at reacting. Thanks so much for your time Ellis. Angelina was great and as you stated the band was also great. Thumbs up sir.
Her cover of I'd rather go blind is pretty amazing if you like that blues and jazz
You have such a long road ahead with all her covers & a few originals, but you mentioned SRV he was &still is the best I don't think anyone will surpass him!

Check out "Something's got a hold on me" (broadcasted live on TV), it has elements of R&B/Blues. You might like it.
Sadly Angelina's grandfather died in 2018. Angelina’s maternal grandmother Mery Zamani has had tremendous influence on Angelina and her career as she introduced Angelina to Jazz at an early age. Mery is a famous Iranian contemporary writer, poet and painter who was also a child prodigy herself being on Radio Iran's Children program at age 4 and began writing poetry and painting by the age of 9. Later Mery was trained in art at the Tokyo Academy in Japan where she met her husband, who was Japanese, during her master degree's training in Japan. There is a nine year old video showing some of Mery's artwork in a home setting: ua-cam.com/video/i9NxX0tSjS0/v-deo.html
---- Mery has a UA-cam channel that supports Angelina called Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz: ua-cam.com/channels/hM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPig.html. There are lots of videos in it that could only have been taken by an insider or family member. Mery is also widely known under the artist alias name Mosarz
---- Mery illustrated the book that Angelina wrote ("Mellom to hjerter" that translates to Between Two Hearts) and had published in November 2015 when Angelina was 9 years-old and became the youngest published author in Norway. The book is based on Angelina's notes in her diary/notebooks and describes her meeting with a shoeless girl. A podcast was published by Angelina’s publisher, Cappelen Damm, in 2015. In it Angelina talks with Erling Kittelsen, a Norwegian author and poet and friend of the family, about her book. Angelina tells of her understanding with the little girl that Angelina will not wear shoes when she performs and that the little girl will pray for Angelina. During pauses in the talk, we hear small extracts from the book. This book should be put on a children's reading list: ua-cam.com/video/6p6iL989P_8/v-deo.html
There are three published Angelina videos created and directed by Mery:
---- Fly Me To The Moon (as a 10-year old: ua-cam.com/video/jnnzbdt4_RE/v-deo.html. On March 23, 2021 you reacted to a shortened version she sung on TV 2 on Senkveld "The Late Show" when Angelina was 8-years old)
---- When You're Smiling (as an 11-year old. This is fun video that starts out with Angelina missing school attendance in her classroom. She is riding a bike and comes across a sad girl crying and stops to see what is wrong. You will have to watch the video to see what happens next: ua-cam.com/video/bLuNQ6s7fCQ/v-deo.html)
---- Shield (Angelina wrote this song at 12-years old. Mery did an artistic video of Angelina performing Shield at 13-years old: ua-cam.com/video/m8OCbAlr_48/v-deo.html. Note that in my opinion the best performance of this song was by Angelina as a 12-year old on the very popular Scandinavian talk show Skavlan (2.5 to 3 million viewers per show): ua-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/v-deo.html)
[In the interview (changes to English at about 0:36 mark) before Angelina sung on Skavlan, paraphrasing, she said that when she sings she goes into an endless other world that is full of happiness. She said that the song Shield is about someone you love and whose strong love protects you wherever you are. Angelina said the song's sound was inspired by the Bond films. Her favorite Bond film songs are Diamonds Are Forever and Goldfinger. She sings a few bars of Diamonds Are Forever a cappella. She said that a highlight of her career was singing for Quincy Jones' 85th birthday concert in London. When asked if she feels like a 12 year old, Angelina says she only does when she looks at her passport: ua-cam.com/video/97hjWg4ToRQ/v-deo.html]
---- 7th Heaven (wrote as a 15-year old. There are three video versions. The audio only version with the last measure being different: ua-cam.com/video/N0yK_07a1_U/v-deo.html. The lyric version that uses Mery’s painting Rows Of Angels as the background and the original audio: ua-cam.com/video/o4Vl3I1WWq4/v-deo.html. The studio version: ua-cam.com/video/bM8DzMRbiIc/v-deo.html)
[The studio video was created by Stargate who is a top shelf record producing and songwriting team (Tor E. Hermansen and Mikkel S. Eriksen) that is now based in Los Angeles. The team's genres include R&B, pop and hip hop. They have won 4 Grammy Awards and been nominated 17 times. Besides Angelina, they have produced or written for Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Lionel Richie, Wiz Khalifa, Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Rita Ora, Normani, Mis-Teeq, Celine Dion, Blue, Janet Jackson, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Sam Smith, Mary J. Blige, Ne-Yo, Katy Perry, Coldplay, Pink, Sia, Whitney Houston, Nas, Chris Brown, Khalid, Charli XCX, Trey Songz and others.]
[Angelina said: “The initial idea for ‘7th Heaven’ was that I love the number 7, and ‘heaven’ is such a powerful word and makes you dream away,” she explained. “I collaborated with Stargate to create ‘7th Heaven.’ The background story of making this song was that I had this melody that I played for Tor and Mikkel and it turned out that they loved the idea and it went pretty smooth from there to the finish [the] song.” Angelina and her team kept tweaking the song until it was perfect and ready for release. “We definitely tried many different elements to feel the right sound to it,” she said.]
[Angelina also revealed that she is often inspired to create music from personal pain: “Strong emotions, mainly painful ones, often make me write music,” she shared.]
[Angelina said that the music video will look like: “The visual will look something like old school meets new school kinda vibe to it,” she assured. “I love the styles they had before and I want to bring it back again.”]
I'm pretty sure she did the arrangement. You see her hand the guy the sheets. He giggles.... This was a tribrute to Groucho Marx(sp) She is a reincarnated soul that can't be taught.....I can just imagine what they thought the first time they saw her... I love the classics she does......... Fly me to the moon, Summertime, Gloomy Sunday.
Exactly That's what I love about our Canadian Masters Rush. All members are a band...... back in the day everyone had there part in a song....... Rush, Led Zepplin, Genesis . Cheers
my angelina
I just couldn't wait for the video to start ... so I didn't.
that is her arrangement, she wrote all the instruments music
Don't change a thing, i love your weirdness they can change channels.
Not weird, just different - generally because he knows what he is talking about.
Nice video
Screamin Jay is the original artist of I put a spell on you and his picture is on the candle she holds at the beginning. This is really a tribute. She does a lot.
My different types of music i mostly listen to is ..Angelina obviously .. Tom MacDonald, Nova, Metallica, ACDC, Five Finger death Punch and Tony OConner ( sleep music ) ohh and Neil Diamond (EDIT) I forgot Florida Georgia Line
Right...everyone counts!! I'll cut this piece of video and send the clip to some friends of mine....LOL
Ivan Mendez a guitar player was interviewed on his experience on accompanying Angelina…. V interesting you might like to watch that
What you're trying to say...I think....is: The most important thing about singers is how they move people. You don't have to have incredible vocal skills to do that, but it doesn't hurt. Some people with incredible vocal talent cannot move people, and some people with mediocre vocal talent can do it as well as the most gifted singers (Johnny Cash - Hurt comes to mind).
This performance is astonishing on every level.
I wish you would have talked about Angelina and her ridiculous vocals more instead of showing off your musical knowledge, which doesn't appear to be a substantial as you think it is.
Angelina did the arrangement herself nothing like the original! That is what she does gets the musicians to play how she thinks. 9 yrs old! 💕💕
We-e-ell… I wouldn't say _nothing_ like the original. While it doesn't sound much like the 1956 studio recording, the musical arrangement here is actually pretty similar to some live performances Screamin' Jay Hawkins did much later (specifically, in the 1990s - performances, BTW, which were already on UA-cam when Angelina would have been deciding how she wanted to do the song). So it's possible they (Angelina and the band) were basing this arrangement on one of those live performances. Note that I'm not saying she wasn't involved at all with deciding how this would be played. I just think that saying she "did the arrangement herself" is perhaps a bit of an overstatement.
That being said, I should point out that we know, based on both testimony and actual video evidence, that she definitely "knew her shit" when it came to music, even at this young of an age. (Note to Ellis: If no one's mentioned this yet, there's a video of a rehearsal from when she was 8 where she names the exact note she wants the trumpet player to hit at one point in the song ["Ais", meaning A-sharp]. And they weren't working off of sheet music; she just knew what the note should be.)
like your reactions, but I just have a friendly objection that you may not even think about. You talk a lot about the musicians, and the technicalities around this. You seem to forget the vocalist almost completely. I will continue to follow you. It's your channel and you do what you feel. Have a nice day. She is just 9 years old here!
Agreed thoroughly !
I Slidely disagree. The reaction consists also of the nonverbal reaction and that was evidently clear with great appreciation and smiles. I like it that the obvious is not emphasized again, but the things we are likely to miss
@@joergcruel7625 I hear your opinion, and that's fine👍😊
Many who follow Angelina especially enjoy her performances with the guitarist Ivan Mendez. Sadly they haven't worked together for a while, and some of wonder why they haven't worked together for a few years? Do you have any opinion why?
Glad to hear you love SRV. I was privileged to watch him perform in a small Fort Worth bar back in 1983. :)
I'm a huge blues fan. So l love her blues performances. Try her modest rewrite of l just want to make love to you (titled Lovin You). Or her cover of It's a man's world (the one at the jazz festival; not the Norwegian Armed Forces Orchestra) Also if you like SRV, try Joe Bonamassa, maybe with Beth Hart; I'll Take Care of You). Finally AJ worked with some of these same guys in a practice session trying out Screamin Jay Hawkins Portrait of a Man, rewritten as Portrait of a Child. See how she rolls when working on songs with professional musicians and why she gets their respect.
Luckily it's not about the chords...lol, it's about Angelina's singing ;)
be honest with the poor girl. I love the sax . I wish it keeps going.
🌷
Most nine year old girls are playing Barbie dolls, not jazz. She wrote the arrangement and handed it to the musical director at the last minute.
When you were talking about how everyone had to be great to make this great (not just Angelina), I was thinking, yeah, but you've gotta admit, if you didn't know anything about Angelina beforehand, and you had to choose the one person in this lineup who had the potential to FUBAR this more than anyone else, it would have been the little girl who was fixin' to sing. [LOL]
To that dude your talking about. The music does not lead the singer. The singer leads the tempo. A good musician can follow no problem. The music structure will always remain the same to the song. Without that adjustment the singer is knocked of balance. It becomes nothing more than an instrumental with a voice accent. One cannot overpower the other.
This is not a reaction to Angelina but rather a reaction concerning the musical arrangements and the musicians,and it is very well done. But it would be necessary to indicate it and stop representing that it is about a reaction to Angelina.
Agreed thoroughly ! It's about Angelina foremost not the music !
Great reaction as ever but bear in mind AJ was the creative driving force behind this production..as much as the stunning vocals I think this demonstrates creative genius at any age never mind 9..the band call he4 the Boss ...
Way cool Ellis :)
40 thumbs overturned ... Against whom are these strangers reacting? Angie's performance? It is a piece of anthology! The musician's analyzes? He has a point of view that defends itself ...
Dr. Palmer, founder of chiropractic, noted that above the atlas (first vertebra), it is impossible to fix the subluxations ...
Yes all the muisc was very good and professional .Angulina hired good musicians. But any of the studio musicians could be replaced by others who could do the same. The irreplaceable element is Angulina Jordon. Thay deserve recognition. But she is the star. If you go to a concert the ticket taker is involved. Nobody goes to a concert to see the ticket taker. When she gets around to touring nobody will be going to watch her backup musicians. Thay will be there. Thay will be good. Thay deserve respect. But any of them are replaceable. She's not replaceable.
Nice reaction, liked your breakdown, check out Something's Got a Hold of Me. You need to buy her book and read it, you will than understand how someone so young knows the attitude of some one older, her mind thoughts are way beyond her years. It's available on her channel, help support this talented little girl. God Bless!

Aw, but c’mon... tell us what you think about Angelina! 😳
😬😁
Your reactions are always informative and educational. We don’t always come away from them with what we want, however. 😜
Nice reaction Ellis. 👍
Maybe he's not really into female vocalists? He's a guitar man. It shows. But it does show on his faces when he likes what she's doing. All good.
Yes it does show, how can it not? She has that effect on all of us. 😉
Hye Ellis...I'm from malaysia
LOL - I Put A Spell On You was written and performed by Screamin' Jay Hawkins in 1956. You can review one of his performances ua-cam.com/video/orNpH6iyokI/v-deo.html for insight into AJ's offering - she, as 9y/o, took his theatrics and made her magic! HA HA HA
It's about the artist not the musicians ! You're reaction should be about Angelina ! No one cares about your breakdown about the musical score ! I appreciate you like the song and for your information that is a classic standard blues ballad known throughout the world ! You really don't have a grasp of American blues music history ! Screamin Jay Hawkins is an American blues singer whose original rendition came out in 1956 and has been cover thousands of times ! I wish you all the very best now I understand your channel is about musicians and musical score and not about voice analysis and techniques ! I wish you all the very best in all your future endeavours but I will follow other reactors and vocal analysts that I'm in tune with ! I'm a musician and you have a great understanding of music and your guitar work is spot on ! Thanks again and have a great day ! 👍🇨🇦🤗
I believe you said you weren't familiar with the original (by Screamin' Jay Hawkins, circa 1956), so here it is: ua-cam.com/video/orNpH6iyokI/v-deo.html. After listening to the original, listen to Angelina's arrangement again. It makes apparent the genius of this 9-year-old musician: AJ captures the spirit of Hawkins' iconic bluesy/jazzy version, but then improves on it. For example, she has perfect vibrato and even screams and growls on pitch! When I first heard this recording, I realized AJ is indeed a child prodigy.
Our barefoot Princess…❤️
Ellis my oldest son makes the most wicked great Cre''me Brule'e I've ever taste and I've been lucky enough to taste some pretty damn good takes on that dish. But I would eat his off that lid. Now I might not dig in to the bottom the way I do his. The top down to an eighth of an inch would be in trouble.
Angelina never sang this song this way ever again because of possible vocal damage, but nobody seems to mind. Angelina during her 10-11 year had some of the best most complete vocals of songs that I've heard. What I mean by that is when she sang whatever she went for she got. These were the more traditional songs like, 'Fly Me To The Moon', 'Feelin' Good' and this song she just sang. You should see how she is in front of an audience. She opened for Nora Jones in Seoul. Nora wanted her to do one more song watch the video to see what happens.
ua-cam.com/video/kpGGO3rI06Q/v-deo.html
Ellis I am breaking protocol here. I am also sending you a link for a song, 'All I Want For Christmas' cover sung by Daneliya. It is live and she is basically the same age as Angelina. Even though it is a seasonal song, I listen to it at least once a week just to brighten my mood. Look how much fun she is having on stage. Anyway, listen to her if you will.
ua-cam.com/video/xosWO7I4tiE/v-deo.html
Quirky reaction, I'm sure that's what you were going for.
OK, Ellis. If this piece is in your "pocket," then check out Angelina singing the Etta James' song, "I'd Rather Go Blind." Angelina's version was uploaded when she was 13, but several major fans say she was 12 when she recorded it. It's short, so you would have time to follow it up with Etta's version. That would make for some interesting comparisons.

On the plectrum or strummed instrument side, I offer two performances that should readily hold your attention. I know that a lifetime may not be long enough to master six strings, so how about an instrument with just three: the balalaika? Here is the link to Alexei Arkhipovskiy playing a medley of pieces on the balalaika in a performance that he calls Sharmanka.

Closer to home for you is a 17-year-old girl who bills herself as "Tina S" playing a classical piece on guitar. 36 million views; must be something to it. ... How much "woodshed" time do you think she spent honing this performance? Oh, and, does she smile enough for you, given critiques you have received on the same matter?
ua-cam.com/video/o6rBK0BqL2w/v-deo.html
Good reaction even if it was a bit long ⏰👌🏻
Someone used juxtaposition but couldn’t describe the sassiness the Boss - as they call her - managed to portrait here. Oh picked up a guitar? Inspiring, isn’t she? :)
Here’s another one in the pocket: ua-cam.com/video/MkhGgqXywU8/v-deo.html
hey Ellis, You have masters in music, but it seems that you're missing 'the music' It's all about Angelina's genius... nothing else matters!
It definitely matters. Ellis has his own twist on his reactions, he is different, and I love that. If everyone reacted the same way, how boring would that have been 😊
Thoroughly agree with you ! The reaction should be about Angelina that's it's : not the musical score !
@@rongotwalt4487 I respect your opinion, but I am curious to why. Ellis is using his expertise, from his musician point of view, and he is of course reacting the way he wants when it comes to his own channel. There is no ABC to how to make a reaction video, that is solely up to the reactor. As long as he is on point, and knowing what he is talking about, he is doing very well, in my opinion. Just my 5 rupiah on this matter 😊
I wonder if Angelina might disagree with you given how collaborative she is with every musician she’s worked with and her involvement in the musical arrangement beyond her vocals alone.
@@irregularjoe1782 I am pretty sure Angelina would love this reaction, yes. Well said.
Isn't this the song from that hocus pocus movie with the 3 sister witches?
Yes but this is Angelina’s interpretation of Screamin J Hawkins version from the 50’s...
please react to Gene Shinozaki’s wildcard! guaranteed to surprise you as much as Stitch’s, if not more :D
