    The hair was a tribute to Elvis's wife Priscilla Presley ! The guitar and leather outfit was a tribute to Elvis ! The children were her cousins and sister ! Angelina is a storyteller first and foremost ! This is one of her greatest strengths in that she is able to give true meaning to the lyrics and relate them directly to her audience ! Her takes on the song are her own arrangements and she is so good at putting a totally different twist on the song ! I want to thank you so much for your continued support of our barefoot princess ! It is so much appreciated ! Angelina will release her debut album this year and she is being introduced at many international functions to display her talents ! Just performed at the FIFA world awards show in Paris that has an audience of over 300 millions viewers ! Just getting the exposure to break out on the world music stage this year ! Thanks again and keep posting ! Sending much thanks and love from Canada ! 👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️

    The common understanding is that little girls wandering among old beautiful things present Angelina wandering and finding her place in old beautiful songs.
    Here are all her originals (and some other stuff).
    "What is life" ua-cam.com/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/v-deo.html (she is 12);
    Oslo - (a nostalgic song) ua-cam.com/video/R2HkKh_Cp8I/v-deo.html (she is about 12);
    "Shield" ua-cam.com/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/v-deo.html (also age 12) (I guess you may like to see the interview she did before singing that song - ua-cam.com/video/97hjWg4ToRQ/v-deo.html (first 50 seconds are samples of her songs and then the interview begins in Norwegian (with subtitles) then they switch to speak English));
    "Million Miles" ua-cam.com/video/XA1_CUaM52I/v-deo.html (this is an official music video) (age 14 she wrote it after the death of her grandfather) there is also version live in-studio ua-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/v-deo.html, and Lyrics video with the art made by her grandmother ua-cam.com/video/NhKRh5ZtuWk/v-deo.html;
    "7th heaven" ua-cam.com/video/bM8DzMRbiIc/v-deo.html (age 15) (she is 17 now).
    Also, she completely rewrote the lyrics for "Back to Black" (they were not age-appropriate she was 10 you can google the Lyrics to compare with Amys) ua-cam.com/video/ICY1uJe15cM/v-deo.html; (here is how she spent that day before recording the song ua-cam.com/video/3XXFu_V8Lcs/v-deo.html) and for "Rehab"

    IMO Angelina sings the song with the proper emotion. I think Elvis sang it with Priscilla's suspicion as a frustration to him by the tempo he performed it in. Angelina sings it more in the way Mark James intended.

    The first two little girls were the daughters of her Manager/Uncle, Michael Astar.
    The older third little girl was her sister Juliette. Some people think that segment, with the little girls, represents the early history of Angelina's performing life. To me it could also be a representation of what she is singing, at the time, about how she can't walk out because she loves them too much (ie. can't leave for the sake of the children).
    Angelina is a very good piano player and is also getting good on the guitar, as displayed in her many Instagram short songs.

    Angelina is amazingly creative; she manages to breathe new life into a classic, maintaining the integrity of the original... Her emotion is top tier, she sings the lyrics as a "plea"and the angst is almost palpable,,( hair actually made popular by Priscilla). You're spot on, Angelina's talent is singing beautifully with just the right choice of vocal ornaments.. a PERFECT example of producing a captivating rendition without having to belt your way through it. Enjoyed your reaction very much, for a Jazz Club feel using only drums, stand up bass, piano/guitar (played by same person) and a backup singer, AJ complete with white gloves, the Studio Version of her original song, "7th Heaven" will surprise you. Again, really good reaction! PEACE

    I couldn't agree more! Angelina never over-sings a song. I've even taken to calling it the "Mariah Carey Effect". Too many embellishments can actually detract from a song. I've heard Mariah sing a song such that I couldn't even begin to tell you what the melody line was. It was in there amongst all the other notes she sang around them, but I couldn't find it if I tried. Fact is, Mariah has a beautiful voice, almost inhuman range, and great control, so there's no real need to do it. But, hey, argue with success, I guess! Mariah is also one of the best selling female singers of all time, so.... Angelina can do such melismas and runs in her sleep, but she is very judicious and artistic in the way she places them in songs such that it is the enhancement that it could or should be, but never more than that. I really do prefer Angelina's version of this song over the arrangement that was done for Elvis, but that's just me. I'm really liking your reactions to the "Barefoot Princess", so I'm now a subscriber! I hope you and yours are doing well, and all of us "angels", as Angelina calls us, wish you the very best!

    Great reaction Jennifer. Angie was 16 here, The hair was a nod to Elvis's wife Priscilla. Angie has alot of Easter eggs to Elvis and family in this video. She has done that a few times. Angie plays 5he piano, classic guitar, electric guitar and used to also play flute and violin too, not sure if she still does the last 2 anymore.
    You might react to here cover version of "How great thou art", sings it in the same key Elvis did and she was only 12 at the time. 🙂👍❤
    (Try reacting to) Angie song she wrote "Shield". She was 11 when she wrote it. You'll see her at 12 performing it for TV2. Also remember that Angelina never sings a song the same way twice, so you could say they’ll all be 1st time reactions. ❤👍

    Yes Angelina is all about Class, Humility, Creativity , and a ultimate respect for the songs she performs. She is never about trying to show case her vocal ability's . She uses her her vocal talents to uplift the song, not her vocal technical expertise, This makes her stand out among 99% of the vocalist we hear. Angeline has made a very special niche for her self in the music world.

    Jennifer, this video was a family affair, with her Grandmother Mery Zamani as Ex-Producer, her Uncle Mike's two daughters, and her sister Juliette as the young girl growing up. The symbolism from the dust flying off the piano representing the past, Elvis's Black jumpsuit, and the red guitar he played during his come-back tour in 1968, to Priscilla Presley's hairdo was pure genius in storytelling. Most of all, Angelina sang in a deeper mature voice, drawing you into "Suspicious Minds," told through Priscilla's perspective during their troubled marriage, slowing down the song's tempo and allowing the lyrics to tell the story. Angelina Jordan has developed a style of singing that sets the mood of all her songs. She is a pure Artist!

    Beautiful reaction, Jennifer. I love her version of the song. Every time she interprets a song by stripping it in her own way, she seems to simultaneously increase the level of understanding of the lyrics and amplify their expressive power. Angelina's musical vision transcends the ordinary and she always manages to give a different interpretative reading, she really has a musical knowledge and analytical ability that is beyond my understanding, also considering her age. Her phrasing, underpinned by her wonderful use of breath and her jazzy vision, always fascinates me and gives me chills every time, despite having listened to it hundreds of times. 💛🧡❤

    Thank you for another excellent resection to Angelina. She has owned me since her first performance as a 7-year-old.
    Angelina has written five songs and had two written for her voice. Here are links to them:
    age 12 - What is life: ua-cam.com/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/v-deo.html 2/6/18 - how an eleven-year-old puts into words the things which are important to her. Profound thoughts in simple words.
    age 12 - Oslo - ua-cam.com/video/dd8r7c-4-ks/v-deo.html 12/7/18 - written of her love for Oslo, the city of her birth, whilst she was en route from Los Angeles to Oslo.
    age 12 - Shield - ua-cam.com/video/XVtUZWHmY8Y/v-deo.html 10/8/18 - Angelina's acknowledgement of the support and love her family have always given to her, in order that she pursue her dream of singing for the world.
    age 14 - Million miles (Live in Studio): ua-cam.com/video/3KxvwuZ7oEM/v-deo.html 19/12/20 - written as a tribute to her maternal grandfather in 2019, with the wish that the song would bring comfort to all other people who had suffered the death of a loved one.
    age 15 - 7th Heaven (Studio performance): ua-cam.com/video/bM8DzMRbiIc/v-deo.html 9/4/21 - an up beat song in a style Angelina calls Jazz/Pop.
    Written for her voice
    age 13 - Song for A - ua-cam.com/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/v-deo.html 20/7/19 - written by Russian classical composer Nico Cartosio as the only song for voice in his instrumental piece Melting. It is based on a 1783 poem by the Scottish poet Robert Burns.
    age 13 - Above the water - ua-cam.com/video/rpdHJJQAd9Y/v-deo.html 30/1/20 - written by TRXD (Truis Drystad and David Atarrodiyan). It has an EDM genre beat
    I am delighted that you knew the song was written by Mark James, an American singer/songwriter, and that he recorded it the year it was written. In the Wikipedia entry of the origins of the song, Mark James is said to have remarked "That late one night, he was fooling around on his Fender guitar and using his Hammond organ pedals for a bass line and came up with what he thought was a catchy melody. At the time, he was married to his first wife but still had feelings for his childhood sweetheart, who was married back in Houston. James's wife had suspicions about his feelings. He felt it was a confusing time for him and that all three were "caught in this trap that they could not walk out of."
    Other singers covering this song invariably base their performance on that of Elvis, in that it is very "upbeat". Angelina took a very different path in that she read and understood the lyrics and what Mark James intended when writing them . To my mind, her rendition is much truer to the emotions of the song.
    The children appearing in the video were Angelina's cousins Aurora (first) and then Athena - daughters of her uncle Michael Astar, and then her sister Juliette. I would hazard a guess that they were included to emphasise that children are very important to Angelina and her family.
    Confession! I have never been a great fan of Elvis Presley, although I do like some of his earlier recordings, and I had never heard of the song "Suspicious minds" but knew that Angelina would completely take ownership of it, and she did. It was beautiful. After listening to it several times, I decided to download the lyrics to see whether she kept to the original structure. She didn't, and the song is all the better for it. For me, that she started with the Bridge of the song is very significant and, I feel, very indicative of Angelina's "up front" transparency. She was declaring that it was important that their love did not die, and then carries on to say why she feels as she does. Others first say how they feel and then, almost as an afterthought, assure their love they don't want it to end. For me, it is whether I feel the singer is genuine about the situation and wishes it could be resolved or whether the singer understands the situation but thinks the blame is on her/his partner but feels the need to assure them they don't want it to end (until somebody else comes along).

    As for Angelina's originals, there are only a few, but the best, in my opinion, is either "Shield" released before she signed with Republic Records, and "Million Miles" which was her first after signing. "Oslo" is also good and in a very different style than anything else she's done.

    Absolutely what I expected. She made this her own song and she did it beautifully. I noticed Juliet sitting there she is going to be as beautiful as Angelina one day.
    Elvis' version is great, and it still is one of my favorites. but Angelina's version is equally great and is definitely her own.
    When I first heard this song I loved it and put it at #3 on my playlist (Angelina Jordan Playlist by Terry M.), about midday I moved it up to #1. The main thing that changed my mind was the power in her voice. I'm not talking about loudness I'm talking about the power she has regardless of how loud or soft she sings. This is a quality that I haven't heard from anyone in my 83 years. This voice has become so unique that it is totally unmatched.
    Her phrasing in the last bridge is great. And she got Elvis’s ‘Oh Yea’ at the end of the song.
    The pianist is Rob Christie (3 Grammys), he is the head of the Republic Record department that is responsible for Angelina and other singers.
    The two small kids are her uncle Mike's kids, and the older girl is Angelina's sister.

I don't think she even realizes this power she holds over us and the need to hear that signature voice to fill that empty void within all of us. Angelina Jordan is in fact the "Benchmark" for all other vocalist to try as they might to achieve. I have a number of pictures of celebrities whose height is known, for example, Austin Butler, who played Elvis, is 6ft tall, and AJ published a picture of her standing next to him, she was at least 1 inch taller than him, and she had to look down at him.

    I love the slower tempo of this. I also loved how she started the song with the ending verse first. Reminds me of a quote from T.S. Eliot: “What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.” This girl is genius. The guitar, black jumpsuit, and microphone are similar to the ones the “King” had on his comeback tour.

    request that viewers use those links to watch videos in their entirety, like, comment, share, and subscribe. by suggesting that they do these things for both yours and angelina's videos and channels, both your algorithms are boosted in the youtube analytics. both you and angelina will receive greater visibility and exposure to a far wider audience on youtube. you will also gain subscriptions due to greater fan loyalty.
    in addition, i am sure you would agree it would be beneficial for record companies to ease their restrictions on copyrights. we are beginning to compile a list of reaction channels which are supporting their artists as outlined above. the goal is to submit the lists to artist and record label management to address their concerns regarding lack of support by many reaction channels. we hope for positive results.

The Cinemaphotography, a total MASTERPIECE, Excellent ART Cole McCarthy! Great touch, the cousins and sister get a cameo. Mery, you should be so proud, AJ's grandma produced this. (This red guitar is identical to the one Elvis played in his 1968 concert on TV.) Oh, the tears, and loss of breath, she is like no other in the universe. Here is a classic example of what this ethereal talent, Angelina Jordan, can achieve she takes a mundane song and turns it in to phenomenal classic. Angelina at 16 is the MASTER of her universe, she is top priority for both Stargate, and AJ's voice has been unique since she was 7 years old and now at 16, she controls us as an audience, leaving us hang on every word and phrase. She has written a number of songs.
    My interpretation of the symbolism of this music video: First, and foremost; Angelina Jordan at 16 is the epitome of a Storytelling ARTIST, and she has the ability to take us by the hand and lead us down an imaginary path that we visualize as reality. The remarkable fact is that we experience this in each of her performances. In this video we see her as a married woman in her mid to late 20s. As the video starts out, we see dishes, and it is a symbol of a home. As AJ sings the phrase “Were caught in a trap, I can’t walk out” we see 3 small children, this to me is a marriage where the children come first. If it were AJ by herself, she would not stay in a relation without trust.

    Hi, Jennifer! Back again, as I realised that I'd forgotten to comment upon your remarks about "vocal acrobatics". She does use them often, but in such a tasteful way that they "go with the flow" of the song. This is particularly evident in her arrangement of the jazz classic "My Funny Valentine" video, which she released in February 2022. She had previously performed the song at ages 9 and 10 and many reactors feature the one at 10 years of age and the one at 16 in the same reaction. In anticipation that you will consider doing the same, here are the links to them:
    age 10 - "My Funny Valentine" - ua-cam.com/video/sZ25H4a2gPI/v-deo.html

Also this is a great tribute to Elvis - Angelina's beehive hairdo is reminiscent of Priscilla Presley & the black leather jumpsuit & red Hagstrom guitar are just like Elvis used in his "Comeback Tour". You mentioned Amy Winehouse & you can listen again to Angelina (& see Juliette dancing in the background) again in her outdoor cover of Valerie. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.

In this one, she is in an antique shop, full of relics of the past, a subtle reference to the songs that she has grown up (the little girls) listening to and appreciating, and performing. The black leather outfit reminicent of Elvis "68 Vegas tour, as well as the red guitar, and the pianist's (Rob Christie) red jumpsuit. The Hair style of Pricilla Presley. And of course the bare feet had their moment as well.

    No no, she does the acrobatics. An insane amount. The differences are how crazy often it feels right, feels like art, instead of like a flex. Even here, one of her more subdued and monotone performances. Actually packs a lot in for a few seconds here or there. But smooth transitions and artistic instincts I suppose make it feel simple even in those parts.

They produce all the music from solar for Republic records. They got she signed with a prodigious. They have the same Sam Smith grande Rihanna rhythm. They had all the best of the best so she was a big company and very happy to get her you missed her Christmas special. It was live on free live stream on TV or radio. Whatever you wanna hear it and it was fantastic everybody there has Grammys that plays behind her Been heard here that man here he got two Grammys that’s wrong Christy everybody plays for her and he hurt all the Republic who she got to deal with age of 14. She was 15 so they’re gonna get a lot of music from her for a while and you won’t see her old stuff because she’s not gonna be doing it because she’s not over check out her Whole world they’ve been saying peace Price twice and then she went at nine then they invited her common thing and India I can pronounce her name but I can’t pronounce and she sung 1 million people and she does outdoor concert at age 89 and 10 extremely what if you do two every day about four years so enjoy yourself really good trip.

    In many of Angelina's covers, she will pay tribute to the artists of the songs she covers. In this one, she is extending homage to Elvis. She also does her arrangements or, at least, has very much input into the way her music is done. In this case, she departed from Elvis by slowing the tune down and singing it in a way the lyrics actually ask for. Elvis covered it like the original, a virtual pop "dance" tune, although the lyrics are a sad, emotional and heartbreaking tale of an impending breakup and lost love. Angelina sings the song as it should be performed.
    This was Elvis's last number one song.
    In this video she is dressed as Elvis was in his " '68 Comeback Special" TV program. Leather from top to bottom. Her hair is done up in a "bee hive" style that Elvis liked his wife Pricilla to wear.
    The red guitar is a contemporary Hagstrom reproduction of a 1967 Viking II. Elvis had borrowed it from Al Casey, one of the session musicians of the Comeback Special band. The original guitar recently sold at auction for over $660,000.
    The piano and mic are like the ones in the Sun studio in Memphis, where Elvis started his recording career. The piano player is Rob Christie, a studio exec at her label, Republic Records.
    The young girl(s), Angelina's relatives, are a nod to Elvis's and Pricilla's kid, Lisa Marie, may God love her soul. The last segment of the children shows Angelina's sister, Juliette, as a 9 year old Lisa Marie. That was how old Lisa was when her dad died. Many reactors guess that the children in this video denotes Angelina growing up, but all the symbolisms is about Elvis and not Angelina.
    There is a short segment of Angelina reposing on a couch. She is wearing what look like mismatched shoes. One is blue suede, yes?
    Many of the antique shop artifacts, particularly the old red fabric chair in the background seem "fit for a king".
    The artistic production may have been by her executive producer and grandmom, Mery Zamani. Mery is a well known artist from Iran who had her hand in other Angelina artwork, including the outfit Angelina wore on "AGT the Champions" show, and the artwork on Angelina's first original Republic video "Million Miles - lyrics version".
    With a little help from her friends (and family), Angelina is leaving a profound legacy in the world of music and art. She is "ASTAR", literally and figuratively.
