No edits, no cuts, no second takes, just Angelina and a good mic. Anyone also singing this song will be looking for a chair when it ends to sit down and catch his or her breath. Not Angelina, she looks at the camera, smiles as if she is saying no big deal, another song another gem. Thank you for your reaction and keep up the good work.
Actually, this was not a single take. It's obvious in at least 4 different places. But to be fair, Whitney almost certainly didn't sing her original studio version in a single take, either.
@@DonaldLancon Very interesting. At what timepoints in this video did that happen? The video looked continuous until the text appeared towards the end. No obvious video-cut I would say. But the sound could definitely have been cut and synchronized. But I guess this is quite normal like you said, in studio at least...
She just did a concert in Norway 2 wks. ago and she sang that song I have nothing and it was superb. She is now 16. React to that performance cause it will just blow your mind. Thank you. I'm just a die-hard fan man.
I love Angelina's covers! No one equal to her now days! Thanks for your honest reactions! I had a dream that Angelina was about 80 years old and a teenager was doing her cover of Shield! And she did a wonderful job! Hopefully that dream will come true in another 66 years!! Call me weird, that's ok! Lol. Thanks Jorrell!!
I’m so excited omg! I have followed this young lady for years! It gives me goosebumps to listen to her. Whitney Houston was and will remain one of my all time favorites!!! Angelina, YOU JUST MAY TOP THAT!!!! You simply amaze me. AMAZE ME
Totally amazing from a child of twelve. It’s a masterpiece. She is gifted in every way possible. Well done Angelina xxxx everyone adores you. Watching from UK xxxxxxxxxxxx❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Welcome to the Angle club Mike. I’m a dude as well and when I hear her sing, my eyes get watery too. Especially when she beings back the roaring 20’s and 30’s as it brings back awesome memories of my grand parents.
I hope she stays true to herself and not try to copy the black artists of today who do all sorts of scale things with their voices in a song. This girl can do it unforced, in a natural way without trying. The most beautiful voice singing 30s & 40s sultry songs. Just a gorgeous girl.
She does a cover like no one else on the planet. She re-writes and/or re-arranges every song she sings to give it that "Angelina Touch". She knows the exact formula of how much she needs to "Angelina-ize" her voice, tone, inflection, emotion, persona and volume with different proportions to perfectly fit every song she sings! She has mastered the art of making her version of a song unique, yet showing complete respect for the Original.
Thank you for your honest analysis. I agree that in this performance she is not 100 % of what Whitney did when she was 29. But remembering that this is a tribute to Whitney and the fact that she is 12 years old and her strength is in the lower register, I find this performance to be quite remarkable. I agree with you that I would love to hear her perform this again in the future, and in the meantime I will just conclude that she is a world treasure who makes my day better every time I hear her sing.
I appreciate your honest appraisal, it means a lot more than someone just praising everything. I know when you say something is good, it's good. I hope I live long enough to see Angelina reach her full potential, she's gonna rock the world.
Angelina is phenomenal! There is no singer in today’s musical industry who can touch her!....praying that the industry doesn’t destroy her like has happen to some others.
Thank you for a very fair critique of Angelina's performance of this song. As others have commented, it has been suggested that she sang this in response to some comments that she was unable to "belt" a song or reach the higher notes. That she did both would have put such comments to rest. I appreciate the fact that you were not comparing Angelina to Whitney but just concentrating upon how you heard Angelina's performance. If all of the 503 Reactors who react to Angelina did this, instead of making false comparisons or trite remarks, I would be a much happier "geriatric" :-)
Thank you fro your reaction Greywolf. I appreciate honest. RESPECTFUL reactions and I feel you deliver on that level. If we believe that everone is an individual and entitled to their own opinion thann we must also respect differences of opionions. Stay true to your vision and I look forward to more Angelina Jordan reactions. I will close by saying I am a HUGE Angelina fan.
12 years old. And already great.cant wait till she matures and sing her own stuff.tough comparing 12 year old to the best of the best.she will get there soon enough. Peace
Maybe not perfect, but one of the best, probably the best version of the song I've ever heard. Angelina will be one of the greatest legends in music history.
Super reaction GreyWolf, personally at this young age Angelina has spoiled me and made it hard to appreciate other singers that have done covers. As we all sit back and contemplate what she will be like in a few short years we can only imagine, and I can't wait. Not wanting to berate other singers. Just want to explain that for me Angelina is coming at us from a different special league. A God given talent. Thumbs up
Surely, the four who thumbs-downed this must be merely jealous. All others just have to love her. You just must love this young lady of such tremendously blessed vocal talent!
Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤️💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤️💙 Loved your reaction!!!
Thank you for this reaction to Angelina Jordan. Yes she did an amazing job with this song Even when she got out of breath in the end . But you are so right she is still a child there and if she done it again now she would done it better now. I love how she tackle the queen of pop and did an amazing job with it.
Wolf, those that accuse you of being a fanboy are clearly devoid of a sense of perspective and appreciation. I also sense a bit of jealousy and envy in those that make these negative comments.
From a girl her age this was phenomenal! She's knowhere near her full potential..can you imagine in 10 years? I hope I'm around to see it! Great and fair reaction..take care ))
I like that as you sayed it was not 100% and i am sure that Angelina knew it as well. This shows that she is not afreid of showing the world that this girl are still developing and she ask the fans to spread it out to the whole world.
Thank you for staying honest in your reactions. I find it absolutely remarkable that a 13 year old that is entirely herself but can sometimes remind me of Norah Jones, Amy Winehouse and Billie Holiday can do justice to this iconic Whitney Houston song. Those are all great artist, but one can hardly imagine any of them doing Whitney in the style of Whitney. Angelina Jordan’s range and versatility is astonishing, as is her emotional intelligence when she angelizes her covers and tributes. Here Angelina yet again shows what she CAN do, although for once it is not as effortless as almost all her other performances. Of course it isn’t! It a beast of a song, and as you tactfully hint to, Whitney herself struggled with it when she wasn’t at her very best. (PS: I see some commenters in this thread saying that Angelina was a little flat on some of the highest tones. I don’t have perfect pitch, but still to my musician’s ear that is not correct. She hits them highest of the high notes too - but not quite with her usual technique, superb breath support and rich tone. Which is entirely understandable!)
Big smile on my face, - loved your reaction being so honest, respectful and let us just face it - we love her to bits! I know another reactor said she actually sings this in a higher note than Whitney and I want to believe SHE would have loved this as well. :) Much love from Norway
Ι have listen to nearly all her songs. So now I considerate watching your face when you react to her singing . I love your expression. You look like you listen to someone from out of space. That's what our Angelinais doing to everybody. Even if you have listen 100 times !!!!!!!
Hi GreyWolf!! Thanks for your great honest react to Angelina in a really special test as you've said. I agree with you when you put stress on de fact she was 12 when recorded this video, and the goddess Whitney was 29 when she first performed I have nothing as a part of O.S.T. of "The bodyguard" film. We barely can require Angelina to be Houston instead of Jordan. She's been (and she still is) in a huge work during the last 8 years and we must respect it. Almost 150 amazing covers putting up her "Jordan Signature" on them , and her "Jordan DNA" in some originals , is a big outstanding baggage for a kid/young teen. This said, we know how selfdemanding Angelina is in her job. So I understand the authentic musical reactors that honestly and technicaly analize hundreds of performances, must point their comments on what they consider honest and fair. Nobody can complain when this happens. I'm sure Angelina appreciates this the same way she does when she receives all the big love we send to her. I'm indeed convinced that GreyWolf loves Angelina (She put a spell on him) 😊 Regarding to new Angelina's originals, she is working in a new record with a lot of them. I feel we will have a great gift before Christmas.....😄 GW, See you in next reacts. Stay safe and healthy Peace & Hugs from Barcelona - Spain.
I agree. I heard it too, but can you imagine 10 yrs later! I cried the first time I heard her sing, which was the final on agt. I'll be a permanent fan.
To be honest, I absolutely love Angelina. But I feel she already did what she needed to do with this song and I don't care if she never sings it again. AJ is not this type of singer and I am SOO allright with that. I think it's good that she did this once to honor Whitney and show the doubters what she could do, but this song is so over the top that the vocal pyrotechnics always get in the way of the emotional communication. To me, the greatest thing about listening to Angelina sing a song isn't that it makes you think 'Listen to what she can do with her voice.' It's that she astounds you at what she can make you FEEL by singing the song.
I couldn't agree more. I'm Norwegian, as is Angelina, and I've been aware of her since she was 5. There are quite many singers out there with great voices, and there is no doubt that Angelina belongs to the top 1 % of singers, but when it comes to the way she communicates the songs, with her own take on them, she in a league of her own. I just can't imagine where she'll be as an artist in 10 years from now.
Thanks for your new amaaaaazing and honest reaction with Angelina, GreyWolf. However (IMO) this is a fantastic interpretation in general, even for an adult, but practically impossible for a 12 year old girl, on a musical basis and without any mixing or replacement, alone in front of a microphone.Isn't only the voice is everything ... simplicity, control, vocal power, easiness, musical intelligence and the particular ability that involves you and captures you in her musical plot. 🤩 ❤️ If you think that this cover, Angelina seems to have made it as a tribute to Whitney, but also to answer those who said she was good, but she didn't have great high notes in her possibilities ... a magnificent answer 😎
I love Angelina Jordan! I have never heard anything like her in all my life. She’s so young she’s just gonna continue to get better and better! God bless her, I thank you God for giving her to us!
I really like watching you Mr Wolf reaction and hearing you say how blowing a way you are I have learned listening to Angelina to always be ready for more fantastic soul come from the velvet Queen you named her thank you mr wolf you are the best at reactions
We fans do forgive a twelve year old Angelina for not achieving technical perfection. She put forth and outstanding and remarkable effort that should earn nothing but our respect.
Very fair comments. I'd love to hear her redo this with a live backing band. Looking forward to originals written by her or for her. I would imagine she has an extemely long line of songwriters at her door.
what an incredible talent. looks like she put every single songs into her world and make it her own. mind blowing. She got her own style of music. Absolutely amazing. what A Talent.
You’re the first reactor that has mentioned those little cracks towards the end. I hear them every time, but as you said, this is a little girl covering a backing track at home. I would love to hear her re-engineered version with Angel dust sprinkled on it.
No need to be nervous, we all know Angelina wouldn't have published this on her cover channel unless she was pleased with the result, and I have a feeling she's her own hardest critic.
for a 12 YO that was freaking incredible. When that voice matures there will be no stopping her. She is going to be a super star for sure. What and awesome talent.
Your right on course she wasn’t 100% she was just a little flat on a couple of high notes Towards the end of the song. But like you said she’s either 12 or 13 in the song and in my opinion she nailed it. Thanks for the reaction it was great.
super reaction and I do agree not 100 percent bur damn close. Fabricio Bambam (Brazil) did a review back in May 2019 and basically came to the same conclusion, he is another reviewer that tells like it is. He is an Angelina fan!!!!
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ I agree with everything you said. This is indeed a remarkable performance for a singer who is just 12 years old, and for whom this kind of power ballad is not her forte. I too would like to hear Angelina revisit this song, if she wants to, when she is older and more mature. Whitney Houston herself was sometimes stretched to her limits performing this song live, and would tone it down for that very reason. I have heard some people criticize Angelina for not nailing this song 100%. To me, that is like criticizing Babe Ruth because he wasn't the world's greatest bunter.
Whitney Houston's honor in her place. Will you respond to Angelina's song "Autumn Leaves" and then perhaps ask the opposite question could Whitney in her greatness performed this song in this way ? Angelina is 10 years old in this performance (Autuma Leaves)
I'm curious, I would like to hear Whitney Houston sing this song when she was 12 and Angelina sings this song when she is 29. So in 15 years. Whitney was 29 years old (you're right) when she sang this song for the first time. I just mean for all critical voices in the comments ✌️😎🇩🇪🇪🇺
It's not really ever going to be different. Whitney at 12 was amazing too. They just didn't have UA-cam then. But my point is that AJ is deeper, vocally, raspy and growly but with a lovely smooth mix voice. Whitney was crisper and clearer and higher up range-wise. Whitney would struggle to do a lot of the stuff AJ can do too. They're just different types of singers. Both of them are the very best at their own type of thing though.
@@zombie7857Yeah Whitney was, is, and always will be, an time great. AJ isn't there yet, but she definitely will be. And we are lucky that we get to enjoy both 😊
Some ask what Whitney sounded like at 12? 11, long take, no cut and paste editing when climbing Second video is the reason why audience called her "Sia" in the beginning of the first video ua-cam.com/video/E2p2fsu482A/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/ZOY1E2PG6Bc/v-deo.html She perfected "Titanium" in the grand final of TeenStar UK 2015 competition 3 days later. ua-cam.com/video/iH_cqAYjDL0/v-deo.html She listens to Little Richard now. ua-cam.com/video/jqxNSvFMkag/v-deo.html
AJ NAILED this one, no doubt :-D And i totally agree with you. She did this only to prof how high she could go with her voice. This young girl is going to take over the whole world. Mark my words... Again, great reaction GreyWolf.... :-D
Athough I have seen this many times, for some reason I was nervous as you were but to see your reaction, lol. Such an unexpected side of Angelina, right? There are lots of people out there that are not aware of the range she has: from a beautiful, warm, round lower register, to this clear, strong chest voice! I totally agree with you there was a note here and there in the final chorus that was a little off but overall it's quite the accomplishment. Specially as she has wanted to sing Whitney since she was a year and half... yes, there's a very short clip of her at that age attempting to sing a Whitney song. Imagine how proud Angelina must have felt when she finally could get this close to covering her idol ♥
She sings excellent now just remember that she is child and her voice is shaping as she grows up! She is getting better and better as she is becoming an adult
Angelina is always ready for a challenge. She is constantly taking on hard songs (My Funny Valentine, La boheme, Bohemian Rhapsody). When someone is this talented, they don't want to just do easy things. As you pointed out Whitney was 29 when she recorded this song, Angelina is less than half that age here. Also.... as good as Whitney was at what she did, I'm not sure how she would have sounded covering songs from Lana Del Rey or Amy Winehouse ;) Whitney definitely had a voice, but the versatility medal goes to Angelina every time IMO. BTW: "someone is going to come along and compose a song for her".. they have... "A Song For A" (Nico Cartosio): ua-cam.com/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/v-deo.html (You are going to love this)
No slag on Whitney, but she had an entire recording apparatus behind her. This is a little girl with very good equipment and was recorded in a single take.
@@DonaldLancon as another asked before I'd like also to hear at what points that happens because I don't see or hear it. It could be more than one take, but if so it has been done imperceptibly. Kudos for that person who did it.
I am convinced that AJA, "nomen omen", will be the soundtrack of humanity in the coming decades. Here it is like seeing a student compete in the 100 meters with Usain Bolt in top form and not getting that far. It seems that this exhibition was also aimed at those who said that he did not know how to go high. Angelina goes as high or low as she pleases, she goes from jaz to disco, from soul to country as she pleases. Artists of this caliber are born one in a century. We were lucky enough to see her evolve live, whoever comes after will study her at the conservatory.
12 years old outstanding. You are correct she was struggling at the ending but not by much you called it correctly 👏 excellent review IMHO.
My soul shakes listening to this beautiful soul 🙏
Perfection at its finest. What an incredible future and the rest of us get to enjoy it along with her.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This girl cant go wrong! She can sing anything!!!!
No edits, no cuts, no second takes, just Angelina and a good mic. Anyone also singing this song will be looking for a chair when it ends to sit down and catch his or her breath. Not Angelina, she looks at the camera, smiles as if she is saying no big deal, another song another gem.

@@HrPedrosak See my long comment beginning with "Since I have objected to".
She just did a concert in Norway 2 wks. ago and she sang that song I have nothing and it was superb. She is now 16. React to that performance cause it will just blow your mind. Thank you. I'm just a die-hard fan man.
There are so few adults that would even attempt to sing this. At 12 Angelina did it justice with total respect for Whitney!
I love Angelina's covers! No one equal to her now days! Thanks for your honest reactions! I had a dream that Angelina was about 80 years old and a teenager was doing her cover of Shield! And she did a wonderful job! Hopefully that dream will come true in another 66 years!! Call me weird, that's ok! Lol. Thanks Jorrell!!
I'm blown away, I can't believe thats coming from a child.
I’m so excited omg! I have followed this young lady for years! It gives me goosebumps to listen to her. Whitney Houston was and will remain one of my all time favorites!!! Angelina, YOU JUST MAY TOP THAT!!!! You simply amaze me. AMAZE ME
Totally transcends anyone’s expectations for me-I kept thinking wowed and I have goosebumps. Thanks 🙏
Totally amazing from a child of twelve. It’s a masterpiece. She is gifted in every way possible. Well done Angelina xxxx everyone adores you. Watching from UK xxxxxxxxxxxx❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Angelina will be the next superstar period. I wish here success and happiness.
Great voice, and years of disciplined hardwork... she is a legend already. God bless her!!👍😌
How could anyone not smile and cheer for Angelina Jordan!!!
She is a superstar at 12. I am a Guy and just listened to this And I can’t help but be in tears, she is so incredible!
Ahhh bruh you right she the reaaaallll deal
Welcome to the Angle club Mike. I’m a dude as well and when I hear her sing, my eyes get watery too. Especially when she beings back the roaring 20’s and 30’s as it brings back awesome memories of my grand parents.
Been listening to her since she started at her tender young age with this voice loveeeeee her ❤️❤️
She doesn't make covers. She takes possession of the song. And she becomes a twin soul with the original artist.
I hope she stays true to herself and not try to copy the black artists of today who do all sorts of scale things with their voices in a song. This girl can do it unforced, in a natural way without trying. The most beautiful voice singing 30s & 40s sultry songs. Just a gorgeous girl.
She does a cover like no one else on the planet. She re-writes and/or re-arranges every song she sings to give it that "Angelina Touch". She knows the exact formula of how much she needs to "Angelina-ize" her voice, tone, inflection, emotion, persona and volume with different proportions to perfectly fit every song she sings! She has mastered the art of making her version of a song unique, yet showing complete respect for the Original.
Love your reactions to Angelina ,they are honest, informative and ...just so satisfying! ❤

That was very nicely said. Thank you.
I love this girls confidence every time she steps up to the mic. Not even a consideration that she might slip up. Shes as perfect as it gets IMO.
I appreciate your honest appraisal, it means a lot more than someone just praising everything. I know when you say something is good, it's good. I hope I live long enough to see Angelina reach her full potential, she's gonna rock the world.
Angelina is phenomenal! There is no singer in today’s musical industry who can touch her!....praying that the industry doesn’t destroy her like has happen to some others.
This was perfect. Angelina is not Whitney, was not trying to be. She sings the way she feels it should be sung by her. Imo, she did this perfect.
Whitney would be proud that she is almost as an angel.
(almost as good as an angel)is what I meant to type
I agree, she doesn't make covers. She takes possession of the song. And she becomes a twin soul with the original artist.
Yes. That is art. EXPRESSION

I love it when she looks at the camera with her uniq smile at the end, she's amazing !!
Why isn't this girl hit big time yet. Shes so beautiful and dam that voice wooo weeee! I bet she melts all the boys hearts LOL
She wasn't 100percent for age 12 she was 200 percent. I've listened to Whitney' s a number of times and I actually prefer this one.
12 years old. And already great.cant wait till she matures and sing her own stuff.tough comparing 12 year old to the best of the best.she will get there soon enough. Peace
I agree, she doesn't make covers. She takes possession of the song. And she becomes a twin soul with the original artist.
What can’t she do, the Angel ❤️ great reaction again 👏👍❤️
The unique 👌 voice!😍🤩🤩

Simply perfection 💯💯💯🚀🚀🚀
I just came back to listen to her sing this song again and as a lead singer and musician myself I'm not hearing any mistakes
It’s difficult to understand or believe that she’s that great and one day she’ll be named with the best ever
Thank you for staying honest in your reactions.

There are quite many singers out there with great voices, and there is no doubt that Angelina belongs to the top 1 % of singers, but when it comes to the way she communicates the songs, with her own take on them, she in a league of her own. I just can't imagine where she'll be as an artist in 10 years from now.
It makes me cry!
no doubt that Angelina kills it.a true tribute she effortlessly and sweetly does and i am sure she is already one of best voices in music
This was exellent🤩 Thank you for your reactions.
Thanks for your new amaaaaazing and honest reaction with Angelina, GreyWolf. However (IMO) this is a fantastic interpretation in general, even for an adult, but practically impossible for a 12 year old girl, on a musical basis and without any mixing or replacement, alone in front of a microphone.Isn't only the voice is everything ... simplicity, control, vocal power, easiness, musical intelligence and the particular ability that involves you and captures you in her musical plot. 🤩 ❤️
If you think that this cover, Angelina seems to have made it as a tribute to Whitney, but also to answer those who said she was good, but she didn't have great high notes in her possibilities ... a magnificent answer 😎
I love Angelina Jordan! I have never heard anything like her in all my life. She’s so young she’s just gonna continue to get better and better! God bless her, I thank you God for giving her to us!
Love her!
No comparison. She is an original. She does it effortlessly. She is just trying to be Angelina . This is a great blessing.
I really like watching you Mr Wolf reaction and hearing you say how blowing a way you are I have learned listening to Angelina to always be ready for more fantastic soul come from the velvet Queen you named her thank you mr wolf you are the best at reactions
Wow I get always goosebump every time I hear this girl sing a song.
We fans do forgive a twelve year old Angelina for not achieving technical perfection. She put forth and outstanding and remarkable effort that should earn nothing but our respect.
I am watching now, I already know what is about to happen lol.. looking forward to watching with you..
My heart is pounding!!!
Appreciate your analysis an critique. Spot on for an amazing 12yr old. Would love her to sing this song again when she is 29, but 2021 would be cool 😎
What an amazing Angele...
Very fair comments. I'd love to hear her redo this with a live backing band. Looking forward to originals written by her or for her. I would imagine she has an extemely long line of songwriters at her door.
what an incredible talent. looks like she put every single songs into her world and make it her own. mind blowing. She got her own style of music. Absolutely amazing. what A Talent.
You’re the first reactor that has mentioned those little cracks towards the end. I hear them every time, but as you said, this is a little girl covering a backing track at home. I would love to hear her re-engineered version with Angel dust sprinkled on it.
Wow this can't be true what a strong down to earth sole Angelina has it all
She awesome God bless her ❤️
Thanks for the reaction and spot on commentary. Between Angelina and the REO Brothers I am managing to survive the lockdown. Hint for next reaction...
No need to be nervous, we all know Angelina wouldn't have published this on her cover channel unless she was pleased with the result, and I have a feeling she's her own hardest critic.
for a 12 YO that was freaking incredible. When that voice matures there will be no stopping her. She is going to be a super star for sure. What and awesome talent.
Your right on course she wasn’t 100% she was just a little flat on a couple of high notes Towards the end of the song. But like you said she’s either 12 or 13 in the song and in my opinion she nailed it. Thanks for the reaction it was great.
super reaction and I do agree not 100 percent bur damn close. Fabricio Bambam (Brazil) did a review back in May 2019 and basically came to the same conclusion, he is another reviewer that tells like it is. He is an Angelina fan!!!!
She surpised me on this one too. I thought at the beginning "Gee that's high. Is she gonna be able to do it. Oh, me of little faith.
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ I agree with everything you said. This is indeed a remarkable performance for a singer who is just 12 years old, and for whom this kind of power ballad is not her forte. I too would like to hear Angelina revisit this song, if she wants to, when she is older and more mature. Whitney Houston herself was sometimes stretched to her limits performing this song live, and would tone it down for that very reason. I have heard some people criticize Angelina for not nailing this song 100%. To me, that is like criticizing Babe Ruth because he wasn't the world's greatest bunter.
Great analogy!!!
Kevin Neal
I have heard others who know more about her that Angelina did this to prove to the doubters that she could sing this type of song
And how fabulously she proved it!!!
Hence the sheepish grin at the camera near the beginning. 😉
Whitney Houston's honor in her place. Will you respond to Angelina's song "Autumn Leaves" and then perhaps ask the opposite question could Whitney in her greatness performed this song in this way ? Angelina is 10 years old in this performance (Autuma Leaves)
You would need someone like Sarah Brightman to do what she did with Autumn Leaves.
I'm curious, I would like to hear Whitney Houston sing this song when she was 12 and Angelina sings this song when she is 29. So in 15 years. Whitney was 29 years old (you're right) when she sang this song for the first time. I just mean for all critical voices in the comments ✌️😎🇩🇪🇪🇺
It's not really ever going to be different. Whitney at 12 was amazing too. They just didn't have UA-cam then. But my point is that AJ is deeper, vocally, raspy and growly but with a lovely smooth mix voice. Whitney was crisper and clearer and higher up range-wise. Whitney would struggle to do a lot of the stuff AJ can do too. They're just different types of singers. Both of them are the very best at their own type of thing though.
@@geofthompson3844 And there is also the comparison of the number of songs they had written at 12 as well :-)
@@zombie7857Yeah Whitney was, is, and always will be, an time great. AJ isn't there yet, but she definitely will be. And we are lucky that we get to enjoy both 😊
Some ask what Whitney sounded like at 12?
11, long take, no cut and paste editing when climbing
Second video is the reason why audience called her "Sia" in the beginning of the first video

She perfected "Titanium" in the grand final of TeenStar UK 2015 competition 3 days later.

She listens to Little Richard now.

AJ NAILED this one, no doubt :-D And i totally agree with you. She did this only to prof how high she could go with her voice. This young girl is going to take over the whole world. Mark my words... Again, great reaction GreyWolf.... :-D
Love your honesty and candor love you
You have a great speaking voice.
Gave me chills!!!
Phenomenal and awesomeness, yep, love love love
Athough I have seen this many times, for some reason I was nervous as you were but to see your reaction, lol.
Such an unexpected side of Angelina, right? There are lots of people out there that are not aware of the range she has: from a beautiful, warm, round lower register, to this clear, strong chest voice!
I totally agree with you there was a note here and there in the final chorus that was a little off but overall it's quite the accomplishment. Specially as she has wanted to sing Whitney since she was a year and half... yes, there's a very short clip of her at that age attempting to sing a Whitney song. Imagine how proud Angelina must have felt when she finally could get this close to covering her idol ♥
She sings excellent now just remember that she is child and her voice is shaping as she grows up! She is getting better and better as she is becoming an adult
She plays with and owns this arrangement as effortlessly as most people speak.
I never nervous when she sings a new song. l know she makes it perfect and opens a new world 🥰💖
Angelina is always ready for a challenge. She is constantly taking on hard songs (My Funny Valentine, La boheme, Bohemian Rhapsody). When someone is this talented, they don't want to just do easy things. As you pointed out Whitney was 29 when she recorded this song, Angelina is less than half that age here. Also.... as good as Whitney was at what she did, I'm not sure how she would have sounded covering songs from Lana Del Rey or Amy Winehouse ;) Whitney definitely had a voice, but the versatility medal goes to Angelina every time IMO.
BTW: "someone is going to come along and compose a song for her".. they have... "A Song For A" (Nico Cartosio): ua-cam.com/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/v-deo.html (You are going to love this)
She wrote "Shield" and it could inspire a Bond Movie, all by itself...
No slag on Whitney, but she had an entire recording apparatus behind her. This is a little girl with very good equipment and was recorded in a single take.
No, not a single take. It's obvious in at least 4 different places that she has used drop-in replacement vocals.
@@DonaldLancon as another asked before I'd like also to hear at what points that happens because I don't see or hear it. It could be more than one take, but if so it has been done imperceptibly. Kudos for that person who did it.
@@neoone75 See my insanely long comment starting with "Since I have objected to".
This girl can sing, beautiful.
You need to listen to AJ singing "I WHO HAVE NOTHING" when she was only 6/7. This girl was born to be a star.
I am convinced that AJA, "nomen omen", will be the soundtrack of humanity in the coming decades.
Here it is like seeing a student compete in the 100 meters with Usain Bolt in top form and not getting that far.
It seems that this exhibition was also aimed at those who said that he did not know how to go high.
Angelina goes as high or low as she pleases, she goes from jaz to disco, from soul to country as she pleases.
Artists of this caliber are born one in a century.
We were lucky enough to see her evolve live, whoever comes after will study her at the conservatory.
