Hi, I am so glad you pointed out that she is a normal teenager after all. Nobody should take that away from her. She has the right to be like everybody else. There are stages and experiences in life you should not skip. We want her to be happy, don`t we? I love her capability to be her own self in the midst of everything. Ann from Norway
Christi, the fact that Angelina is a seasoned veteran, who’s incredible voice is still developing, at the age of sixteen years old is putting the industry on notice. I have heard countless reactors say how much they love hearing Angelina sing jazz because no one else is singing this type of music anymore. Angelina is single handedly revitalizing the jazz genre. She is also introducing jazz to the younger generations that have never listened to this genre before and they’re enjoying it.
My Funny Valentine This is my 97th time listening to this MASTERPIECE and each time I experience a new level of perfection by our ethereal prodigy extraordinaire, Angelina Jordan. When you listen to the A cappella portions of this performance at the very end of the song you are truly experiencing the genius of Angelina Jordan’s PERFECT PITCH. Sinatra, rest in peace Angelina Jordan, the Bare Foot Queen has taken the crown and there is nothing like her in the universe. When I first heard her perform this I put it on pause and brought up Sinatra, Bublé, Streisand, Fitzgerald and Vaughan's version of this song to compare it to AJ version, and none of them moved me like this version. It is so hard to comprehend that Angelina from 7 to 16 is the greatest story telling being in my 74 years of experiencing great vocalist and I can't wait for the rest of the story.
Great reaction. Saw her first time in London at the O2 concert for Quincy Jones - she wasn't even on the program but opened the show. Have been hooked ever since. Look forwards to seeing her in Norway on 10th July - will probably the last concert I can afford before she becomes a mega star.
You're one of a very few reactors who view, listen and ride Angelina's voice to pure enjoyment... Kudos as well for being the only one I've heard acknowledge her teen stage, selfies, make-up and I too, am delighted to see she's enjoying growing up in that sense as well as being a vastly musically gifted young lady... she's certainly a treasure.. I remember your first time hearing her sing "I Put a Spell on You"... and indeed she did!! Thank you for always taking the time and care to discuss this AMAZING talent named Angelina Jordan... Great to have you back!! 🤗🙌🏻👏🏻
Thanks for your reaction. Angelina made a Jazz album "It's Magic" at 12 years old with a norwegiean military band. It is wonderfull and I'm not even a jazz person. LOL 🥰
Nice to see you again with Angelina.... For me, this is the most stunningly beautiful rendition of this song I have heard ever.... been listening to music for over 60 years and this is simply master class vocals from a 16 year old.
I can’t get enough of this performance. At 72 I have never experienced this kind of reaction every time I watch this video. To be fair I have several other songs by some fantastic performers that I never tire of, but Angelina hits me so many times with so many songs. Like so many other AJ fans I can’t explain why except she has the whole package. Talent, personality, originality, inner and outer beauty and BRAINS! I am so happy you are back with us and really enjoy your professional reactions and in depth discussions. Very well done!
After listening to this performance many, many times, I am struck by the resonance in the final, prolonged notes. However these notes were captured technologically, the resonance just reverberates in my chest and carries me away for a few seconds to some other place...a place of magic and calm. There is so much dynamic range in this performance...it will become its own classic among the many hundreds of recordings of this timeless classic! Bravo, Angelina!
Your happy appreciation and insights into beautiful voices and performances like Angelina's here is teaching me to savor those magnificent singers given to touch our hearts.
Angelina is so special; most people don’t quite get the fact that she has had this talent from birth and now is only 16. She has this unique breathiness and growl! I pray I live long enough to hear her at age 30. Rob Christie (a Grammy winner himself) lends so much to this performance! I love Angelina Jordan Astar (pun intended).
I've noticed it with Bohemian Rhapsody and again with this song - different people noticing different artists stamp in what she's doing. Only shows how many artists she studied.
Hello Christi 👋 Welcome back ! As always, a very professional and warm assessment of Angelina's performance . Thank you for championing our gal on your channel. Much love and respect for the work that you do 💟👏🙏. From Brisbane, Australia.
Between singers with this immeasurable amount of tools and talents (there are really few artists who can fall into this category) there is a fine line that distinguishes the decision between "I'm going to use this song to show my vocal qualities" and "I'm going to use my vocal qualities to make this song shine". Fortunately, Angelina's wisdom and musical genius are not lost in this choice, she will always choose the fair share of quality and talent that the song deserves and will add her quality of empathy to convey the deep feelings and emotions that the song transmit to her. That is her greatest value and what will remain most palpable when the music lovers of the future revisit her legacy. I appreciate the affection that you always put in your reactions to Angelina, a hug from a distance for everyone. Peace and love.
Angelina is truly one of a kind, she has the whole package. Every time I hear her I'm filled with wonder and good vibes! Everything about that video was gorgeous :)
Great job. Angelina delivers her own brand of intensity, though not usually with the highest note or the loudest one but with a unique combination of nimbleness, power, and vocal effect that she uses to land on one perfectly delivered phrase after another. It makes her story-telling unforgettable!
Many have covered this song over the years, but none come close to Angelina's version IMO. She has been singing this difficult song since she was 9, and only seems to get better and better with it. This latest cover is just perfection.
I fully agree with you Rusty that no one comes close to Angelina’s version. The word “perfection” often comes up in my mind too when listening to Angelina, but just as often I think it’s not the right word. Angelina keeps getting better. She invents new ways to amaze me. I really don’t know how to call that.
In my opinion, Lara Fabian's version. Although she was already a 28 years-old woman at this performance, and had more life experiences than Angelina has nowadays, the delicacy of Lara's version is more accurated, refined, controlled. ua-cam.com/video/WlRBaORWPr0/v-deo.html
It has been almost a year since Angelina released 7th Heaven and I have to believe she has many original songs completed. Angelina has promised her angels a album this year and we hope it will be before her concerts in July. The BIG question is, will her family give Republic the green light on promoting her when the album is released? Time will tell.
In an interview, Angelina said Billy Holiday was her favorite jazz singer. Angelina did a rehearsal video of Billie Holiday's " I'm a Fool to want you " when she was 11. It's like Billie Holiday is reincarnated into this 11 year old girl. Live in one take. Pure Jazz at its best. You will be amazed again. Take care. Looking forward to more reactions to her.
I like your kindly reaction 🌹🙌 yes angelina is such a gift and she give us so much love and soul and peace, i cant stop to listen for hours every day the goddess of music 👑🌟♥️
Christi, I always enjoy your video's, particularly when you react to Angelina. Most of us who are out in the bleacher seats somewhere love to listen to her and she touches our hearts when she sings for us. Listening to you gives us a opportunity to understand what is going on, what we are listening to and what she is doing is way beyond her years. You are telling us, sure, she has a gift, but she works very hard at her craft and there is something else going on which can be labeled "the unknown" and that's her changing voice. So far she has been able to keep up with it and I know you can tell us that, in itself, is a major task to address. Thanks, Christi!
This was filmed in a store called chandeliers and chairs in West Hollywood they have a rooftop Cafe there announcer Lena will go up there sometimes to practice sing it's one of her favorite places in LA
She is like a firework soaring into the air, about to explode amongst the stars and fill the sky with wonder and delight! Such an over-the-top comment, but it's what her vocals do to me!!!!
Yes, although her voice has matured and she has access to more vocal techniques, that 2016 version certainly cannot be diminished in terms of emotional expression.
The thing is, when you listen to both versions back to back, it seems clear to me she was imagining this ultimate performance in her head ... the phrasing, breathing and structure are almost identical. At 10 she made a wonderful effort within her abilities at the time ... six years of vocal maturing later, she's finally been able to achieved the dream. I'm going to see her live in July ... I wonder if she'll sing this? I hope so! R (Australia)
Hiya! I love love love your reactions! Thank you for coming back to this, and especially thank you for covering Angelina again. What a true masterpiece this cover is! On one hand, it's completely normal that Angelina's voice keeps maturing, but on the other hand, you're still left with "how can it keep getting better??" Thank you for your breakdown of her techniques and musical choices. As always, it was insightful, beautifully presented, and super informative. 🤗✨ Missed your recorded videos, Christi. Welcome back! Peace!! xo
Christi, you are absolutely right….WE DESPERATELY NEED THE ARTS RIGHT NOW. During these trying times, Humanity is having a difficult being HUMAN. With each song, Angelina brings to us a POSITIVE emotional experience that is really missing. Thank you so very much for such a great reaction.
IMHO, the absolute best version of this song. I’ve listened to it more than 100 times, and this is a song I never really cared for until Angelina turned into a true masterpiece. I’m with you, even though I’ve never really been a jazz enthusiast I would love to hear her do a jazz album.
Thanks so much for this great analysis. I think the most impressive thing in this beautiful performance is her dynamic control & the beautiful melisma to bring it in for a landing. Best version I've ever heard. STUNNING!!!
I like her tasteful play with the melody, specifically the last note that she left suspended before the middle piano part. At the end of the song she let the same note resolve in a very unique way.
I am quite sure that Angelina and her voice will define music for the future! And all past legends of jazz, blues and Soul music will cheer in the background.
I think this rendition of This song is Angelina’s masterpiece. I mean that in the original sense of masterpiece, an important work by a mature journeyman providing a show of multiple traits of mastership in order to attain the title master of a trade. I cannot say I know a better rendition of this song by anyone, ever.
Great take! I'm no vocal coach or singer even, but to me this performance is so outstanding. Just unbelievable. I have always maintained that Billie Hliday is her most influential source of inspiration. Of course I loved Billie Holidays music and singing long before I heard Angelina sing. Angelina herself have said she considers Billie Holiday "the queen of jazz". We, Angelinas fans, have considered Angelina "the queen" for a while. now. She became qeen at a very young age. Still it's no doubt in my mind that she will continue to develop and mature both musically and technically more for some time still. It's just hard to imagine how. At least for an untrained ear as mine. Great reaction and break down again. Putting the spotlight on several details. Thank you! 🙏
Wonderfully engaging video ! Angelina our barefoot princess is growing up so fast and has become a beautiful young woman ! Her voice continues to grow even better too ! Enjoy this video and I can't wait for your informative and expert analysis ! Thank you ! 👍🤗🇨🇦❤️
Thanks Christi, for another delightful analysis of the vocal and stylistic evolution of this extraordinary girl. You are right, her exceptional nature is highlighted even more by the naturalness with which she lives her life as a teenager, without particular oddities, but with his love for music and the constant refinement of his skills. It's absolutely mesmerizing and magical to hear her play so easily with the tones and melody. Absolutely brilliant interpretation.💛 🧡 ❤️
She is so unique it's incredible, how she keeps making songs her own is just beyond words. One of the most difficult jobs in the world must be deciding what tracks are on going to be on her first Republic Album release. Maybe the answer might be a 10 Album Box Set!
Yes I agree that the stroll through a store while she sings in the background takes away from the impact of actually singing it for us. But I just did the same when she sat in a shopping cart- closed my eyes and listened!
You know I just thought, since this is over Instagram it has a lot of compression we can hear.... Imagine if this one is an album track what it will sound like
I started watching the music video, but stopped after a few seconds and restarted, to listen without looking at the video, only at you, christi, for the same reason you'd mentioned. Her voice is divibe, but the visuals here do not add to it, in my opinion. I love watching her sing, but here the visuals were redundant to me. Of course, this does not intend to talk down the artistic aspect of the clip, or to say she should do without it or not experiment with whatever music medium she wants! She should very much be all that she is!. This was just to state my personal perspective about the video clip. No question that the vocal quality she has is absolute treasure trove of depth and texture. She's a remarkable young lady.
Thank you for this reaction Christi, great analysis! At live comments one asked you about the AJ Covered "say you"ft Lauren Daigle. It was in the end of Christmas Concert from AJ in a live in December 2021. One strong and wonderful cover. Regards from Brazil!
Frank Sinatra's drummer, and sun in-law of the late Henry Mancini, Greg Field, and bass player, Chuck Berghofer accompanied AJ on her Christmas Show that aired Dec 23 of 21, and they stated that she had the "storytelling ability of the greats, Streisand, Fitzgerald, Vaughan, including Sinatra. The main pianist, a three-time Grammy Winner, Shelly Berg, stated in all his years working with the greatest vocalist, he had never encountered a talent like AJ. Did I forget to mention Jimmy Z, the famous Sax Player who worked with Rod Steward, Etta James, and the Eurythmics was part of the band for the show? Jimmy stated that AJ was the best he has ever played for. (If you want to find out who these individuals are, and their status in the music industry, look them up.)
It was just amazing and she’s certainly a lovely young lady. I might have enjoyed live singing, interspersed with “glamour” segments, a bit more but, I’ll listen a few dozen more times and get back… ;)
Fantastic reaction to an Epic performance by a Musical Genius! I asked you before but I didn't get an answer yet. You have listened to quite a few A.J. songs, can I get clarification of her range, like low register to high register and how many Octaves can she hit? God Bless!
Hi, I love your reaction channel.. actually for me, it would be boring for her to do a whole album of jazz, even though I love jazz/ Blues Soul music. she has already been there and done that as a pre- teenage prodigy. Me also knowing that Angelina is way to talented and versatile to be just pigeon cooped into one particular genre.. AJ has the ability to hybrid mix and match different genres/ singing styles together at will.., in effect, making her own style of music but still giving you that old school jazz Soul feel mixed with the New and current.. yes AJ reminds everyone of some of the greatest/ earliest jazz/Blues singers from back in the day till present day but if you really know your early jazz singers , they was also the most Soulful and versatile singers and sung in multiple different styles and cross into different genres of singing that gave birth to most of the genres of music we hear today.. in the modern era, Angelina is a continuation of that process.. the early jazz/ Blues era was just Angelina starting point as she was a prodigy pre teenager in that genre.. Now as a teenager fast becoming a young adult, I fully anticipate her taking music old and new school to New Levels.. she has started doing it already low key, mixing/ combining genres from old to the new wile her older fan Bass is still stuck in The passed and only like the old style music she does, Angelina is just way ahead of her class/ time and generation and will bring the music forward but sometimes come full circle to remind her fanbase were she is coming from without being stuck in the past.. that’s the true act or meaning of being a Timeless artist.. Timeless don’t mean stuck in the past sounding outdated or stuck in one particular genre or timeframe of music, specially if your still young yourself and growing.
Hi, Christi, absolutly wonderful reaction to (16) Angie. I love both this jazz standard arrangement she did & I also love the full version arrangement she did when she was 10 in 2-14-16 filming of it by her grandma Mery, just sitting on a chair & no mic, just her voice. very beautiful. Hey Christi, could you please react to Angie's concert from Proysenfestivalen 21.07.2017 She's 11 & it was amazing concert. Or at least the opening song from it. “Lovin' You” - Proysenfestivalen 21.07.2017 ua-cam.com/video/Y4WPbmjgUg4/v-deo.html Angie’s (11) from “Just Want To Make Love To You” originally written by Willie Dixon 1954 & covered by Muddy Waters & a lot of other big name blues singers also. Angie changed the lyrics & made it more age appropriate & also made it really awesome a bit modern style blues with a nostalgic feel also. She’s opening her concert with this song, Than may react to this “You Make Me Feel So Young” cover by Frank Sinatra ua-cam.com/video/MQN3ecsutLs/v-deo.html She’s 13. She did her hair & clothes in the era of the song. She's singing this in a type of duet style, this will really blow your mind. Her range in this song gets down into her lower lower register into the 2nd octave. She sings both parts in this. (Male & Female) It's amazing.
Hi Christi, I always love your reactions. I love this rendition of “My Funny Valentine”. Angelina has such an incredible talent. She has an incredible ability to communicate emotion through her singing. I would love to see your reaction if her most recent cover of Suspicious Minds (Elvis Presley). She completely reinvents this Iconic hit while adding her personal artistic touches. She is a musical genius. Thanks for your support of this incredible artist. I would love to see your reaction to her most recent cover of “Suspicious Minds” by Elvis Presley.
Angelina has a couple of concerts in July in Norway, I wish I could go. I wonder if more concerts will be added. I’m also wondering if her new album will be released before these concerts. What do you think?
I believe it was a conscious decision to it in this 'overdubbing' style of presentation, for I'm sure her mom Sara realizes how adult and striking looking she has become. If it hadn't been done in this form of separating her visually from the vocals of the song, Angelina could be mistakenly taken to be performing a 'sultry', much too sensual performance, for there is no doubt that just looking at her, the words exotic looking 'Persian Princess' comes to mind, and in this way she is simply shown as an innocent young girl daydreaming like all teenage girls tend to do as she meanders through a vintage furnishings store where her imagination can come forth. Otherwise, I;m sure people would say combining her looks together with her vocals isn't appropriate for a young girl. This solves that potential problem in a genius way where the viewing listener gets the best of both 'vocal & visual' worlds.
Thank you for this beautiful analysis: very interesting! I will not get into the technical details as you covered those much better than I can. I agree this seems to show a big jump in her growth. I love this version: she sings it so so beautiful and she takes me a away to a time of before, relaxes me and of course makes me smile me with my heart. My feeling about the video is also that she is showing a store she loves and like to show to us. Of course the vintage objects fit this classic song. The version you used has artifacts in it (the high whistle tones). Boris explained it was due to repeated encoding. If you’d like to listen to it again for your own pleasure, this version by Rusty does not suffer from it: ua-cam.com/video/ETGLbsGDAI0/v-deo.html
she just released her video of her version of "Suspicious Minds" by Elvis Presley. Dare I say she made it better? You should check it out/react to it for the first time. Mind blowing.
Hi, I am so glad you pointed out that she is a normal teenager after all. Nobody should take that away from her. She has the right to be like everybody else. There are stages and experiences in life you should not skip. We want her to be happy, don`t we? I love her capability to be her own self in the midst of everything. Ann from Norway
Ann, Thank you! From all my heard!!
So well said

Sinatra, rest in peace Angelina Jordan, the Bare Foot Queen has taken the crown and there is nothing like her in the universe.

Great to have you back!! 🤗🙌🏻👏🏻
Thanks for your reaction. Angelina made a Jazz album "It's Magic" at 12 years old with a norwegiean military band. It is wonderfull and I'm not even a jazz person. LOL 🥰
Simply mesmerizing and breathtaking masterpiece!! This is Angelina Jordan Astar, ladies and gentlemen! Cheers!!
Nice to see you again with Angelina.... For me, this is the most stunningly beautiful rendition of this song I have heard ever.... been listening to music for over 60 years and this is simply master class vocals from a 16 year old.
I can’t get enough of this performance. At 72 I have never experienced this kind of reaction every time I watch this video. To be fair I have several other songs by some fantastic performers that I never tire of, but Angelina hits me so many times with so many songs. Like so many other AJ fans I can’t explain why except she has the whole package. Talent, personality, originality, inner and outer beauty and BRAINS!
I am so happy you are back with us and really enjoy your professional reactions and in depth discussions. Very well done!
After listening to this performance many, many times, I am struck by the resonance in the final, prolonged notes. However these notes were captured technologically, the resonance just reverberates in my chest and carries me away for a few seconds to some other place...a place of magic and calm. There is so much dynamic range in this performance...it will become its own classic among the many hundreds of recordings of this timeless classic! Bravo, Angelina!
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AN EVENING OF JAZZ WITH THE SENSATIONAL ANGELINA JORDAN! I'm looking forward to it.
Your happy appreciation and insights into beautiful voices and performances like Angelina's here is teaching me to savor those magnificent singers given to touch our hearts.
Thank for your reaction and an informative analysis of another masterpiece performance by Angelina.
The Barefoot Angel is the BEST period.
Really appreciate how you help me understand why I love this artist, what makes her sooooo special. Thank you.
I've heard a lot of versions of this song in my life, but none that touched me like this one. In my humble opinion, this is the best, hands down.
Angelina is so special; most people don’t quite get the fact that she has had this talent from birth and now is only 16. She has this unique breathiness and growl! I pray I live long enough to hear her at age 30.
Rob Christie (a Grammy winner himself) lends so much to this performance! I love Angelina Jordan Astar (pun intended).
Angelina creates another masterpiece to be studied for generations.
I've noticed it with Bohemian Rhapsody and again with this song - different people noticing different artists stamp in what she's doing. Only shows how many artists she studied.

There are quite a few Angelina superfans who deserve a round of applause from us. Boris is definitely high on that list.👏👏
@@leechap3 I certainly second that! Boris captured so many magic moments!
I've long understood that I should give up analyzing her, but she's just so amazing!
Thank you 🙏 this is the most beautiful version I have ever heard! She’s beyond magical!🌟🥰❤️
my absolute favorite performance from Angelina is "everytime we say goodbye". flawless vocals and amazing expressive delivery.
What she does in this shopp id doing a decent understated dance to her singing. Art in itself...
Thanks Christi, for another delightful analysis of the vocal and stylistic evolution of this extraordinary girl. You are right, her exceptional nature is highlighted even more by the naturalness with which she lives her life as a teenager, without particular oddities, but with his love for music and the constant refinement of his skills. It's absolutely mesmerizing and magical to hear her play so easily with the tones and melody. Absolutely brilliant interpretation.💛 🧡 ❤️
That last breath though.....!!!!! WOW!
Again Christie you are my favorite reactor of Angie in detail love it thanks again
Excited! Interested to see your reaction to this maturing young phenom…
❤❤❤❤ Just love it!!
Yes Christi, I would also love to see Angelina do an album of Jazz Standards. Sadly, that may get in the way of Angelina's rise to superstardom.
Angelina has done a jazz album called "It's Magic" With the Staff Band of the Norwegian Armed Forces.
She is so unique it's incredible, how she keeps making songs her own is just beyond words. One of the most difficult jobs in the world must be deciding what tracks are on going to be on her first Republic Album release. Maybe the answer might be a 10 Album Box Set!
She told in an interview, she wrotes nearly 100 Songs in the quarantine period, with laughing, I believe 🥰she can do it
Angelina is always amazing 💞
Yes I agree that the stroll through a store while she sings in the background takes away from the impact of actually singing it for us. But I just did the same when she sat in a shopping cart- closed my eyes and listened!
You know I just thought, since this is over Instagram it has a lot of compression we can hear.... Imagine if this one is an album track what it will sound like
I started watching the music video, but stopped after a few seconds and restarted, to listen without looking at the video, only at you, christi, for the same reason you'd mentioned. Her voice is divibe, but the visuals here do not add to it, in my opinion. I love watching her sing, but here the visuals were redundant to me.
Of course, this does not intend to talk down the artistic aspect of the clip, or to say she should do without it or not experiment with whatever music medium she wants! She should very much be all that she is!. This was just to state my personal perspective about the video clip. No question that the
vocal quality she has is absolute treasure trove of depth and texture. She's a remarkable young lady.
A great breakdown of her rendition!!
Thank you for this reaction Christi, great analysis! At live comments one asked you about the AJ Covered "say you"ft Lauren Daigle. It was in the end of Christmas Concert from AJ in a live in December 2021. One strong and wonderful cover. Regards from Brazil!
“You Say”.
Really beautiful , and can be listened to over and over again , and i find myself looking to hear it again .
Been a while since Grandma Mery has had the opportunity to shoot a video. She will always feature Angelina posing in a setting appropriate to the song
she is brilliant . she is a shining light
The original video was uploaded on Angelina's Instagram.
People who sing who are truly bilingual can add so much texture to their music. Your ear is enhanced and allows you to make unique choices.
Frank Sinatra's drummer, and sun in-law of the late Henry Mancini, Greg Field, and bass player, Chuck Berghofer accompanied AJ on her Christmas Show that aired Dec 23 of 21, and they stated that she had the "storytelling ability of the greats, Streisand, Fitzgerald, Vaughan, including Sinatra. The main pianist, a three-time Grammy Winner, Shelly Berg, stated in all his years working with the greatest vocalist, he had never encountered a talent like AJ. Did I forget to mention Jimmy Z, the famous Sax Player who worked with Rod Steward, Etta James, and the Eurythmics was part of the band for the show? Jimmy stated that AJ was the best he has ever played for. (If you want to find out who these individuals are, and their status in the music industry, look them up.)
She could release a Best of Angelina Jordan box set culled from her videos. She’s starting out winning from the beginning.
can't wait...
Crazy! She is getting better and better!
Extraordinary
She soothes your soul.!
I love your reactions. It is so good that you could at last come back to her . I was waiting to hear
you on this masterpiece.💕
It was just amazing and she’s certainly a lovely young lady. I might have enjoyed live singing, interspersed with “glamour” segments, a bit more but, I’ll listen a few dozen more times and get back… ;)
Fantastic reaction to an Epic performance by a Musical Genius! I asked you before but I didn't get an answer yet. You have listened to quite a few A.J. songs, can I get clarification of her range, like low register to high register and how many Octaves can she hit? God Bless!
Love the voice
Hi, I love your reaction channel..
actually for me, it would be boring for her to do a whole album of jazz, even though I love jazz/ Blues Soul music.
she has already been there and done that as a pre- teenage prodigy.
Me also knowing that Angelina is way to talented and versatile to be just pigeon cooped into one particular genre..
AJ has the ability to hybrid mix and match different genres/ singing styles together at will.., in effect, making her own style of music but still giving you that old school jazz Soul feel mixed with the New and current.. yes AJ reminds everyone of some of the greatest/ earliest jazz/Blues singers from back in the day till present day but if you really know your early jazz singers , they was also the most Soulful and versatile singers and sung in multiple different styles and cross into different genres of singing that gave birth to most of the genres of music we hear today.. in the modern era, Angelina is a continuation of that process.. the early jazz/ Blues era was just Angelina starting point as she was a prodigy pre teenager in that genre.. Now as a teenager fast becoming a young adult, I fully anticipate her taking music old and new school to New Levels.. she has started doing it already low key, mixing/ combining genres from old to the new wile her older fan Bass is still stuck in The passed and only like the old style music she does, Angelina is just way ahead of her class/ time and generation and will bring the music forward but sometimes come full circle to remind her fanbase were she is coming from without being stuck in the past.. that’s the true act or meaning of being a Timeless artist.. Timeless don’t mean stuck in the past sounding outdated or stuck in one particular genre or timeframe of music, specially if your still young yourself and growing.
Hi, Christi, absolutly wonderful reaction to (16) Angie. I love both this jazz standard arrangement she did & I also love the full version arrangement she did when she was 10 in 2-14-16 filming of it by her grandma Mery, just sitting on a chair & no mic, just her voice. very beautiful. Hey Christi, could you please react to Angie's concert from Proysenfestivalen 21.07.2017 She's 11 & it was amazing concert. Or at least the opening song from it.
“Lovin' You” - Proysenfestivalen 21.07.2017 ua-cam.com/video/Y4WPbmjgUg4/v-deo.html Angie’s (11) from “Just Want To Make Love To You” originally written by Willie Dixon 1954 & covered by Muddy Waters & a lot of other big name blues singers also. Angie changed the lyrics & made it more age appropriate & also made it really awesome a bit modern style blues with a nostalgic feel also. She’s opening her concert with this song, Than may react to this
“You Make Me Feel So Young” cover by Frank Sinatra ua-cam.com/video/MQN3ecsutLs/v-deo.html She’s 13. She did her hair & clothes in the era of the song. She's singing this in a type of duet style, this will really blow your mind. Her range in this song gets down into her lower lower register into the 2nd octave. She sings both parts in this. (Male & Female) It's amazing.
Yes, there were some epic performances at that concert - I am so thankful that Boris Palenovski was there to record it for us!
👍👍💙💙💙
Vocal tones and textures. But also cadence and control. Takes most jazz singers into mature adulthood to achieve this.
I also love the Henry Mancini-like back track. The combination is so sublime.
Hi Christi, I always love your reactions. I love this rendition of “My Funny Valentine”. Angelina has such an incredible talent. She has an incredible ability to communicate emotion through her singing. I would love to see your reaction if her most recent cover of Suspicious Minds (Elvis Presley). She completely reinvents this Iconic hit while adding her personal artistic touches. She is a musical genius. Thanks for your support of this incredible artist. I would love to see your reaction to her most recent cover of “Suspicious Minds” by Elvis Presley.
I am surprised that I am not finding reactions by you of Angelina’s two original songs ‘Shield’ and ‘7th Heaven’.
Angelina has a couple of concerts in July in Norway, I wish I could go. I wonder if more concerts will be added. I’m also wondering if her new album will be released before these concerts. What do you think?
Thank you!!
Hi sweetie, If you do this, you might do a double reaction to Angie's arrangement of the full version of the 1937 when she was (10)
You would love AJ's tic too version of Adele's Love Is A Game it's beautiful and blows the original out of the water!!!!!!
Christieypu are my favorite reactor of Angie who can duplicate better than Judy Garland I'm 70 yo now love your reaction thanks
thanks so much!!!
She's a treasure.
The video is her gift to her angels..we are her valentines))
Dire stupenda e poco verso questo talento. E uno dei talenti più grandi del mondo.
Damn, I forgot how amazing this rendition was.
I believe it was a conscious decision to it in this 'overdubbing' style
of presentation, for I'm sure her mom Sara realizes how adult and
striking looking she has become. If it hadn't been done in this form
of separating her visually from the vocals of the song, Angelina could
be mistakenly taken to be performing a 'sultry', much too sensual
performance, for there is no doubt that just looking at her, the words
exotic looking 'Persian Princess' comes to mind, and in this way she
is simply shown as an innocent young girl daydreaming like all teenage
girls tend to do as she meanders through a vintage furnishings store
where her imagination can come forth. Otherwise, I;m sure people would
say combining her looks together with her vocals isn't appropriate for a
young girl. This solves that potential problem in a genius way where the
viewing listener gets the best of both 'vocal & visual' worlds.
Thank you for this beautiful analysis: very interesting! I will not get into the technical details as you covered those much better than I can. I agree this seems to show a big jump in her growth. I love this version: she sings it so so beautiful and she takes me a away to a time of before, relaxes me and of course makes me smile me with my heart.
My feeling about the video is also that she is showing a store she loves and like to show to us. Of course the vintage objects fit this classic song.
The version you used has artifacts in it (the high whistle tones). Boris explained it was due to repeated encoding. If you’d like to listen to it again for your own pleasure, this version by Rusty does not suffer from it: ua-cam.com/video/ETGLbsGDAI0/v-deo.html
This analysis merit 2 Like at least 👍👍
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
she just released her video of her version of "Suspicious Minds" by Elvis Presley. Dare I say she made it better? You should check it out/react to it for the first time. Mind blowing.
Incrível o poder que essa garota tem em reinventar as músicas que canta transformando-as em verdadeiras obras primas!!!
