    Nick, we missed your reactions to Angelina. I know life can get busy and family and friends always come first. I was sitting in the 5th row at this concert and can honestly say, Angelina sounded much better live than on video. The whole concert was great and meeting so many people who I have exchanged comments with was awesome. Can't wait for Angelina's next concert. Hopefully she will announce one soon.

    She has done something to this song to make it so much better than I have ever heard it before. The ending is a masterful display of vocal agility. For a 17 year old to have the confidence to do this to such a well known song speaks to her sense of knowing how songs are meant to be sung. She is like a conductor of an orchestra who knows how the composer wanted his music played. One thing she isn't and this is just another singer.

      ​@@pietersbart Angelina is a unique natural talent, which she has cultivated since the cradle. The preparation of the famous covers in the living room, according to the guitarists Egil and Ivan, who accompanied him one to Norway and the other to Los Angeles, took place in a few hours. Only Angelina's genius can remake, for example, "California Dreamin'" in a few hours of rehearsals and make those who listen to it say, as the reactor did here: "This is how it should be done".

    The 'Gold Standard' for this song has always been Bobby Hadfield's rendition that he
    performed 'Live' on The Andy Williams Show back in the 60's, with him respresenting
    1/2 of the group called 'The Righteous Brothers'. Angelina has performed it when she
    was much younger and stayed 'spot on' at that time with Bobby's rendition, making it
    the 2nd best cover of it that I had ever heard. Now, she brings more of her 'Jazz' roots
    into play and gives the song a deeper penetrating rendition. It's eviident that she is
    channeling what she learned from her musical mentor, the great Billie Holiday, for she
    has made it clear when interviewed that with Billie, there would be no Angelina Jordan
    as the singer she is. The performance here is mesmerizing.

    I know I am very partial but this is not "one of the best"! THIS IS the best! And setting 30 feet from her sing it live was even better than this video! Sept 22, 2023 in Portsmouth was the greatest night of my 81 years! My all time favorite song being sung by my all time favorite vocalist and she did it better than ANYONE (including Bobby Hatfield) had ever done it! What more could anyone ever ask for!!! And, YES, this 81 yo old man cried all the way thru her performance of this song!

    Angelina Jordan is The Sound Of Music.
    Angelina Jordan is a remarkable vocal artist that possesses a rare talent: she has a photographic memory for sound. This means that she can recall and reproduce any sound she hears with perfect accuracy and pitch. She applies this skill to her musical performances, especially when she covers songs by other vocal artists. She does not merely imitate them, but rather uses their voices as inspiration and reference points for her own unique interpretations. She can capture the essence and emotion of any song, while adding her own flair and style to it.
    There is a difference between a good singer and a great singer. A good singer can capture the moment, but a great singer can transform the moment into ART. ART is not just a representation of reality, but an expression of vision. ART should always transcend the ordinary, and Angelina Jordan accomplishes this in every performance. © Larry D. Pifer

    Unchained Melody
    Unchained Melody is a timeless song that has captivated generations of listeners with its haunting melody and poignant lyrics. The song was composed by Alex North, a prolific and versatile composer who created memorable scores for many films, such as A Streetcar Named Desire, Spartacus, and Cleopatra. He wrote the song as the theme for the 1955 film Unchained, which tells the story of a prisoner who longs for his wife and hopes for parole. The song was first performed by Todd Duncan, who played the lead role in the film, and released in 1955 by Al Hibler and Liberace, who popularized it on his television show. The song has been recorded by hundreds of artists in various styles and languages, but perhaps the most famous version is the one by The Righteous Brothers, who released it in 1965 as a single. Their rendition features Bobby Hatfield's soaring vocals and a lush orchestral arrangement that adds drama and intensity to the song. The Righteous Brothers' version reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and became one of the most successful pop songs of all time. It was also featured in the 1990 film Ghost, starring Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore, which revived its popularity and introduced it to a new generation of fans. However, not everyone appreciates The Righteous Brothers' version of Unchained Melody. Some critics argue that they changed the original mood and meaning of the song, which was more subtle and restrained. They also point out that there are other versions that are more faithful to the composer's vision and more expressive of the song's emotions. For example, Al Hibler gave a powerful performance that conveyed the pain and longing of the prisoner. Johnny Mathis, Andy Williams, and John Gary also recorded beautiful versions that showcased their vocal talents and captured the essence of the song. One of the most recent and remarkable versions of Unchained Melody is by Angelina Jordan, a young and talented singer who has amazed audiences with her unique voice and style from the age of 7 to now 17. She performed the song at her concert in Portsmouth, NH on September 22, 2023, and gave it a fresh and original twist. She rearranged the song to suit her own interpretation and added elements of jazz, soul, and blues to create a stunning rendition that mesmerized the crowd. She sang with passion and grace and delivered every note with precision and emotion. She proved that Unchained Melody is a timeless song that can be reinvented and reimagined by different artists. © Larry D. Pifer
    Sara, the mother of Angelina Jordan, was in contact with Rob Christie from Republic Records via live stream during the concert. Finally, we have it directly from Sara, AJ's mom, when asked about AJ's height, she stated that she is now 6-foot 1 inch tall, let's remember she is only 17, soon to be 18 on Jan. 10th of 24 so she is still growing. Bigangiefan captured AJ's performance of Unchained Melody with a smart phone, and it was clear that this song alone was worth the trip to Portsmouth, and the ticket price.

    That was the bones to what she will do with this song later. Whatever the little things were that might not have gone as smoothly as hoped, they are not worth discussing. This young lady has such a grasp of timing and vocal dynamics that they over-ride anyone's feeble attempts to point out anything less than great. Remember she is only 17 and women's voices don't get stable until their late 20's to early 30's. So, scary thought, she is only going to get better. Nick is right she will win Grammy's she is just too good. Thanks my friend for your insights and your support for this great young singer.

    Welcome to America baby girl! That is how an audience should react!! It is funny, I follow many reactors from overseas and one of them was talking about how she uses her hands and arms when she sings. I told them they must have not been in a church where they are singing and praising the Lord because when that happens you can not help but raise your hands up using them to tell your story to the Lord! You can always tell who started out singing in church just by watching for this. Angelina, I don't believe started in the church, but she has spoke about her love of God and this is why she can tell her story with just her voice and hands. Because she doesn't make it about her, she makes it about you!

  • @ericzeichert511
    @ericzeichert511 Рік тому +5

    Her decision to slow the tempo to 1 1/4 time, or a little longer, was sheer brilliance. It took the pop out and made it a showcase for her particular brand of vocal gymnastics, while giving the song gravitas, making it the longing lament it could always have been, but rarely was. And by the way, you are not the only one who who is speechless after this vid.

    This is the best Unchained Melody version that I have ever heard from her and absolutely from anybody else... As you said this is how this song should be sung. Angelina made this song standout and beautiful that after hearing this it made me want to sing the song in her version no matter how awful I may sound singing it. It made my day just like that. Her best vocal performance? It's debatable, depending on one's preference. There's just a lot of superb performances from her to consider and trying to define one is just something that could break your brain. So I'm not trying..😅

    This sounds so good! The whole concert seemed to be amazing. The were two tiny complaints about the concert: people would have liked for it to have lasted longer and the interaction the band was a little loud. Regarding the latter, Angelina might have forgotten that mere mortal musicians need a bunch of rehearsals to get up and ready: the interaction with the band was a little tentative still it seemed from the recordings.

    Unfortunately the Acoustics in THE MUSIC HALL were pretty horrific, so no matter where you attempted to get audio from, this was pretty much the result. Really too bad, because it was MUCH better in person. As far as I'm concerned, an Outdoor /Semi-Outdoor Venue would have been ideal, or a place made for Concerts like this. THE MUSIC HALL is NOT that place, as far as I can tell.
