We need five double albums from Angelina. Are you listening, Republic Records? We really really really need these! We know she's been working on so many new recordings of originals. Fall 2024 would be a great time to premiere a full album of AJ. Millions of us are waiting with bated breath. Thanks for this reaction!
“I digress.” “I digress?” “What does that even mean? 😂😂 You are definitely my spirit animal! Love this cover by Angelina. So glad you finally reacted to it! Awesome reaction as always! 101K….and climbing!
The video is from her 12th birthday when she got the Neumann tlm 102, but she was signing into the back of the microphone. So she rerecorded the track when she was 13 and overdubbed the video.
She for sure will!!! And if there are people who don't "understand" it will be at it is. There also were dinosaurs on the planet, which is a globe 🌎 - even if there are people who don't "think" so...
Etta James is probably my favorite vocal performer and this beautiful young lady has just brought me to tears. Thank you so much for this reaction. Peace and blessings.
Great reaction as usual. You should also listen to the LIVE ACAPELLA version of "If I Were a Boy" at Saint James Church (just released on her channel). No production on this one and just as good as the others!
I have watched a lot of reactors react to this song, but you sir, HAD THE BEST REACTION OF THEM ALL! Thanks for appreciating this artist so much and introducing her to many future 'Angels'. :)
Quite simply, Angelina knows how to sing a story. Her vocal choices are the work of a genius. There is no one to compare Angelina to. The great channel Kaleidoscope RMX created a mashup of Chris Stapleton's "Tennessee Whiskey" and this version of "I'd Rather Go Blind" by Angelina. ua-cam.com/video/oO-vTz5wyyM/v-deo.htmlsi=GmSEuSpT9rvKUUVO
Finally, you're the only reactor to say it's an audio track on top of the video. Ive watched this 50 times and the first time i saw it you can see in one spot she says 'boy' and her mouth doesn't match the consanant....she's astounding.
I agree with your professional comments on this incredible non-scripted performance of Angelina sitting on a couch singing into her 12th birthday microphone gift without rehearsal, belting her version of Etta James's "I Rather Go Blind" recording! Musical prodigy Angelina has shown that when she was younger can channel Jazz Sings voices from back in the Day! When Angelina closes her eyes and feels the music in her soul, she becomes that Artist's.
Great reaction, Boudy, how else could you react to this gem! Angelina feels the emotion of this song and makes the listener feel it also. I'm amazed that her vocal cords have survived all the frying! She is so special!! ❤❤❤😊😊😊
Casually sitting on a sofa and singing an Etta James classic on a level that if she performed it at The Apollo in Harlem, NY, she would have been one of the very few white singers to garner a standing ovation from the toughest 'soul' critics on the planet. This is on a level with another great white soul singer named Janis Joplin, but there isn't another one I can think of who would be able to do something on this level of excellence.
I sooo look forward to Mondays and a peak into your view of the world. Your passion is uplifting. Congrats on the 100K! Here's to the 250K mark! ..from Toronto Canada
I usually degrade all karaoke performances but, when I think she's 'trying out' all these facets, I get more entranced by it. This also fortifies my argument that AJ doesn't 'sound like' others - she CHANNELS them. She taps into their stream and dives in, swims along and we're going along for that swim.
Aw I don’t see the comment saying she is a karaoke singer but accurately saying she channels the original singer to learn their techniques. She has channeled dozens over the years to build a loaded toolbox that allows her use her extraordinary, unique, sounds at will and with ease.
Finally habibi. I love your incredulity and stunned disbelief when watching you react to our young Barefoot Princess. Did you you react to Feeling Good
Once Angelina gets discovered by the masses by singing her own original songs, then she can put out a double album of her favorite classic songs from the American Songbook that she Angelinifies. I've said that for years that she owes it to the History of Music to put her stamp on them for future generations. If she does it before she is "Discovered," people will say she's just a cover singer & it won't sell. Sad, but I think it's true. I hear that all the time that Angelina is just a cover singer. But, as Angelina has said, it's harder to do justice to a cover song & make it your own, than to sing your own originals, especially when they are such iconic songs that she covers.
She received this microphone for her birthday as she requested and this song she performed out of joy for receiving this gift. Every once in a while we see how much potential she has and it bursts out another video at the age of 9 on stage in James Brown's song "I feel good" you can see her there how she transforms from a little girl on stage to a huge soul singer when she opens her mouth and sings a video Required !!! that he brings me to tears even though it is a rhythmic song🦶🦶👑🗣🎙🎷
After listening to just about EVERY available thing done by Angelina over the last few years I believe she is really some form of Moog Synthesizer that has progressed from the sixties to today's AI age and has become human. A true modern day mythological Anthropomorph. Angelina can do whatever she wants, whenever she wants and however she wants to do it.. There is no explanation other than my insane thoughts. LOL...
Big shout out to you my friend. on your fabulous reaction to this masterful, masterpiece by Angelina Jordan at age of 11 years ! She inhabited the heart of the soul of Etta James and delivered like no other. Just sitting there on the couch with a new microphone and belting out with the emotion that is so undeniably ingrained in her DNA. Thank you my friend for finally posting one of the greatest covers by Angelina. This girl has jazz running through her veins. It's so obvious. Keep posting my friend and sending you much thanks and love from Canada always 👍🇨🇦❤️
Hi Boudy, did you realize that the Mic was backwards...?? I can only imagine that AJ DIDN'T want to use it the right way because maybe she knew she was going to melt him...what a great performance by our Barefoot Princess....!!!
OMG. This is an absolute classic performance by Angelina of an incredible song by Etta James. I've listened to Etta's version and am gobsmacked by the changes that 12 year old musical prodigy Angelina made to it. Wrote the above before you reacted. Will come back and edit it after your reaction (!). ADDED: For example, the vocal fry that AJ adds several times is just insanely good. Her belts are out of this world. Top 5 AJ performance for me. The soul she exhibits here is a precursor to Bad Valentine. She has SO much more to treat us with. And agree with you about a cover album of classics like this!
Steve I assume you’ve heard the Chris Stapleton/AJ mashup of this and Tennessee Whiskey? I mean, Chris is one of the best vocalists around today, but then AJ comes in and burns the house down! That mashup has to have earned Her a lot of new fans! That run towards the end is insane, and all in one breath. Angelina in vocal goddess mode..
Yes I ask myself what are they thinking about for not mentioning that 14 songs album recorded after this cover. Ok, we are all thinking MORE! But that’s a git greedy right?
I would buy that album, also a jazz club night with just Angelina- fied covers. Really great reaction Boudy its been a while since you were so animated about Angelina,'s videos. Still lots of these nuggets in her young musical journey to discover.
I've seen this dozens of times and I still can't believe what I'm seeing and hearing! How does this young lady have so much soul? I have no idea, but I love it. :)
Just over four years ago I was binging kids in their 20’s and 30’s reacting to classics when the image of this little girl sitting on a blue couch showed up as a recommendation. She looked very serious and while I generally don’t care much for child performances (much like you have said in an Angelina reaction, you’re generally supporting their future selves not their current talents), I clicked anyway. I was so blown away that I binged everything on her two UA-cam’s and everything on Rusty Shackleford’s UA-cam (in one sitting). Since that day I have barely listened to anyone else!! I did manage to attend the Portsmouth, NH concert last year but was unable to attend Vegas… I’m so happy that my favorite Angelina reactor has finally reacted to this one!
Angelina is in her element. No nerves, just a consummate professional doing her gig with her new microphone she received on her 12th birthday and of course nailing it! 🇳🇴🇺🇸 Etta would be proud!
She was excited to finally get that microphone, but she sang into it backwards. The logo is facing outward towards us instead of in towards her. But her voice is so powerful we don't notice the difference. She's just sitting there on the couch chilling as she belts out that song. Amazing!
@@KenChawkin She may well be doing that on purpose, as it captures a fair bit more of the sound bouncing from the walls, giving the vocal a sound that match the old track nicely. It makes me think of some small stage in a smoky night club. You're right about her powerful voice :)
@@TheBjornwilly interesting idea. In the videos that followed she had the mike facing her the right way. I never noticed it facing outwards again with the logo. She's really belting it out on the last two songs with Toby Gad. We're hearing another new era. Exciting!
I first saw this video of AJ about 4 months ago. I had to listen to it 8 or 10 times a day for a dozen weeks or so. Everything that she does here is so much better than perfect 🥰🙏
11:59 I have been listening to you for a long long time and this particular song from Angelina Jordan this particular cover is my ultimate favorite. Thank you so very much for doing a reaction on it. Absolutely love it! you're right you have to close your eyes to really feel it. I am totally blind myself so all of these songs I have not been able to see the video but the sound that comes out of our princess is simply outstanding amazing. Wow , they're just no words! Thank you. Absolutely extra ordinary. Thank
I'm not so sure that the audio that we're hearing is not from that exact moment what we're seeing. We know that it's a brand new microphone she got for her 12th birthday and I'm sure the mix was done after the fact but from all accounts that I've read she's actually singing what we hear there at that time while Seated on the couch and then the audio was mixed after the fact. Let's also keep in mind that it's an over 19 second-long belt toward the end there.
Andy mentioned Kaleidoscope RMX, and I love their mashups too. Another great one is 'Ain't No Sunshine'. Love the band Canen that adds so much to Angelina's soul in this one.
I really don't know how many times I've listened to this over the years. Its so magnificent. I really do love this girl. Probably too much. If she ever does something foolish I'll be heartbroken. Angelina really does something to me. This performance is a perfect example of her personality and genius.
So great that you went back in time to this master piece of a Angelina legend song. Happy to see you on those classics till she releases new songs. My eyes also went wet when i was you floating away in this genius' performance of 12 yrs old playing around with her brand new Neumann mic, given to her by the Norwegian military band she recorded the IT'S MAGIC album while she was 11. Maybe very short before they moved to LA. We never saw this couch in LA again, did we? The last 1 breath run will always be in the Hall of Angelina Magics. And this Hall is already over-stuffed by her age 18... Guess when she's 70 they need to have built an own "Louvre d'Astar" for her.
The microphone was actually given to her by her Uncle Michael. It was stated by him in an interview article, "was intended for her 12th birthday but was delayed in giving it to her by several months". April 6 2018 when the video was uploaded to her cover channel, in her original post she stated, "had just received this new Neumann 102 mic for my birthday and wanted to try it out" which shows that she was in fact 12 and this song is the first after having received the mic. After this she next posted "A Million Years Ago" on April 7 2018 and several others that month which is still available on her cover channel. The mic being backwards in this video was likely not intentional as she received al lot of messages in the comment section that it was backwards and she never did it again. Several years later she upgraded to a Neumann 103.
@@robertbiron Hello Robert! Thank you for detailling that up! Didnt know, that Mike said that. I liked the story of the staff-band gave it to her for her birthday , thank you for the great coorperation and farewell to the US :) - But there are so many heartwarming Legends around her... thats fine. She's a living legend already, and Legends weave some vines by themselves sometimes. Really looking forward to Sara's book! ...
Boudy, have you ever watched other Reactors and notice how happy they are when reacting to Angelina. The same joy and happiness that overtakes you ? What is so enchanting about this whole Angelina experience is. Never has modern humans watch a baby been followed so much. From Diapers Days. Pictures and videos were there. Like you are living in her home. Or she is a member of your family. Her life has touched every emotional part of your/our life . Somehow someone had the insight to practically sleep with a Camera. Even now I wonder if there is a personal camera person or two that has a job to be there to document her movements.
Yes there is, her name is Mery and is her grandma! Does it for no pay, just out of love and recognition of a fellow prodigy who the world will want to know about for generations to come.
@@samsabruskongen I got this from the manufacturer's website:"The TLM 103 is addressed from the front, marked with the Neumann logo." So, the story about her first time out using the mike backwards really is true. Not that it hurt the recording, eh?
As always AJ knocks it out of the park. But, you should check out Beth Hart's renditions too. One with Joe Bonamassa, which most people gravitate to because of Joe's extended guitar solo. One with Jeff Beck at the Kennedy Center Honors for Buddy Guy which, for me, was even more emotional. AJ's version is closer to Etta James. Beth's will blow your socks off. Both are perfect.
I was so hoping you’d get to this and, as always, you knocked it out of the park! Now if you’d just do her greatest song (IMHO)on the Oslo rooftop Every Time We Say Goodbye. 😊
This is one of your best episodes! Angelina is impossibly brilliant, giving out so much soul that it brings tears to my eyes (when she has never experienced anything of what she's singing about); and you show so much emotion over every bit of it that it feels like a completely symbiotic experience, and doubles the satisfaction of it!! And then you go and give us THE BEST pep talk for jump-starting our day, and week,that I feel like a race horse at the starting gate when the gun goes off!! Dear Friend, thank you for this fantastic episode!!!
She sings this song as if she Is channeling the soul of a 68-year-old black mammy, who was sitting in a rocking chair, on a hot day in North Carolina,on her front porch of her old, weathered tin roof bungalow. Doo rag on her head... Pink and white checker board cloth corron fabric.
From your so-specific old-times description, I just want to add (because everyone is calling out racism wherever it raises its ugly head) that I believe you described that character that way to recognize and honor her because there's NO ONE who would've had more of life's gamut of experiences, including tragedy, and felt more, than that woman you described, in order to be able to sing from that unfathomable depth of a soul.
@@BAfan-tt9zl well said. While life can and does challenge us all it’s so vital to remember history. I refuse to be blind deaf and dumb.!!! Monkeys can corner the market and join the circus. I’ll never accept lies from those in power with an agenda based on lies.
@@BAfan-tt9zl yup.. But I must also add as a very learned person, With heightened observational skills , logic reasoning and understanding an ability to dissect, I certainly shall profess that those who call out.Racism are in fact most often the racists...... I don't care if their projection is based on insecurity or stupidity or pure a nurse... My suggestion is nothing to learn and grow up. No one. Should be so upset over commonly used words which meant something throughout history....

Thanks 🙏? She deserves it a thousand times over 😀!
I believe that this was her first video with the new Neumann mic, and I think she's holding it backwards in the video. So she rerecorded the audio but used the first video.
I think that when Angelina sings (id rather go blind), (lovin you) and (its a mans mans world) she drinks a couple of whiskeys, smokes a fan and becomes an old woman. Otherwise this has no explanation, it is incredible!! thanks Arab Man from Argentina 🇦🇷
I love love loooooooove your reaction. You’re so knowledgeable and it’s really refreshing to know bits and pieces of why I feel like I do when listening to her. ❤️🤩
I have waited for this for so long. This should've been in first ten reactions somewhere. It's one of my favorites by far. Now, you can mash up another highlight video.
I think that the Jazz album will come. If she can make her mark big--then she can do that stuff without "branding herself' with it. Stevie brought back the Blues--Angelina can bring back Jazz. You will fall over when you listen to "I Will Survive" ua-cam.com/video/ma7sa_n7k-8/v-deo.html Have a good week.
One reactor who was new to AJ when he first started to listen to this thought she was lip syncing the song so he quickly pulled off camera the Etta James recording and realized he was wrong.
I second that request. I’m putting in my order for that right now. I don’t know when I will get it because she has so much that she wants to. But I will wait… and savor it when then wine is ready. PS, I love your reaction to this.
Kid's a genius........no doubt about it....one in a generation...or maybe generations....stunning performance from a child sitting on a couch....you have to be kidding me...WHAT???? Thank you for reacting to this....loved every minute of it.....and your commentary...great...
"As similar as it sounds to the original, it's her own impression." Exactly! Thanks, Boudy!
I regard this as proof that AJ is not of this world. Yes, a double album with just jazz - classics. It would be an eternal classic.
We need five double albums from Angelina. Are you listening, Republic Records? We really really really need these! We know she's been working on so many new recordings of originals. Fall 2024 would be a great time to premiere a full album of AJ. Millions of us are waiting with bated breath. Thanks for this reaction!
That last blast was 16 seconds on one breath! Next: How Great Thou Art?
“I digress.” “I digress?” “What does that even mean? 😂😂 You are definitely my spirit animal! Love this cover by Angelina. So glad you finally reacted to it! Awesome reaction as always! 101K….and climbing!
The video is from her 12th birthday when she got the Neumann tlm 102, but she was signing into the back of the microphone. So she rerecorded the track when she was 13 and overdubbed the video.
Interesting thoughts
Once you listen to Angelina's version of any song, it's just not the same feeling listening to the originals. ❤
Wake Me Up is that song for me.
Angelina will go down as the greatest female vocalist/artist of all time. Even the haters will be humbled.
She for sure will!!!
And if there are people who don't "understand" it will be at it is.
There also were dinosaurs on the planet, which is a globe 🌎 - even if there are people who don't "think" so...
Etta James is probably my favorite vocal performer and this beautiful young lady has just brought me to tears. Thank you so much for this reaction. Peace and blessings.
And she did it at age 12 and one day. Basically still 11.... 😅 Impossible to wrap one's head around.
Angelina is the g.o.a.t. i have loved this one for years ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ wild bill
Great reaction as usual. You should also listen to the LIVE ACAPELLA version of "If I Were a Boy" at Saint James Church (just released on her channel). No production on this one and just as good as the others!

Quite simply, Angelina knows how to sing a story. Her vocal choices are the work of a genius. There is no one to compare Angelina to.

Angelina trying out her new Numan 102 or 103 mic and she is singing into the back to get a different sound. ..... so intelligent. wow.
Angelina had the ability to show intense emotion at a very early age. She was and is remarkable.
Great reaction, Boudy, how else could you react to this gem! Angelina feels the emotion of this song and makes the listener feel it also. I'm amazed that her vocal cords have survived all the frying! She is so special!! ❤❤❤😊😊😊

One of my favourite Angelina performances ever. Superb emotional level.
I usually degrade all karaoke performances but, when I think she's 'trying out' all these facets, I get more entranced by it. This also fortifies my argument that AJ doesn't 'sound like' others - she CHANNELS them. She taps into their stream and dives in, swims along and we're going along for that swim.
Aw I don’t see the comment saying she is a karaoke singer but accurately saying she channels the original singer to learn their techniques. She has channeled dozens over the years to build a loaded toolbox that allows her use her extraordinary, unique, sounds at will and with ease.
@emwa3600 Who the heck EVER thought she is a "karaoke singer"?? Man, that's like saying a supersonic airliner is "a bit complex".
This is definitely up there with her most amazing performances, but there are so many, she is simply unbelievable.
Glad to see you doing this Boudy, I've always wondered how in the world Angelina can deliver a Grammy preformance with a 🎤, a backtrack on the sofa!

@@lindahake1666 miss by a year ! I take it back ! No matter I'll bet Angelina would have been spectacular at 11 lmao ! 🤣 Thank you ! 👍🇨🇦❤️
Great Reaction 👍🙏👣💯😎
Hi Boudy, did you realize that the Mic was backwards...?? I can only imagine that AJ DIDN'T want to use it the right way because maybe she knew she was going to melt him...what a great performance by our Barefoot Princess....!!!
OMG. This is an absolute classic performance by Angelina of an incredible song by Etta James. I've listened to Etta's version and am gobsmacked by the changes that 12 year old musical prodigy Angelina made to it. Wrote the above before you reacted. Will come back and edit it after your reaction (!). ADDED: For example, the vocal fry that AJ adds several times is just insanely good. Her belts are out of this world. Top 5 AJ performance for me. The soul she exhibits here is a precursor to Bad Valentine. She has SO much more to treat us with. And agree with you about a cover album of classics like this!
Steve I assume you’ve heard the Chris Stapleton/AJ mashup of this and Tennessee Whiskey? I mean, Chris is one of the best vocalists around today, but then AJ comes in and burns the house down! That mashup has to have earned Her a lot of new fans! That run towards the end is insane, and all in one breath. Angelina in vocal goddess mode..
@@BigAngieFan808 Love that mashup, one of the best with AJ... And agree with your sentiments!
One of my favourites from her! Great reaction 😊 An album of all the classics sounds great to me too!
Probaby the closet album we have of Angie singing 'classics' is "It's Magic", of course she is young, but gee whiz!
Yes I ask myself what are they thinking about for not mentioning that 14 songs album recorded after this cover. Ok, we are all thinking MORE! But that’s a git greedy right?
My kids live on maui. Love the handle 😊
Some songs have waited a hundred years for Angelina to sing them.
She has an old soul
She is so good! So good I fear what this industry might do to her.
Alternately : she's so good that the industry should fear what she is going to do to it.
Fear the industry will be changed by her.
You picked a great one Boudi!
I would buy that album, also a jazz club night with just Angelina- fied covers. Really great reaction Boudy its been a while since you were so animated about Angelina,'s videos. Still lots of these nuggets in her young musical journey to discover.
I've seen this dozens of times and I still can't believe what I'm seeing and hearing! How does this young lady have so much soul? I have no idea, but I love it. :)
This is just Angelina trying out her new microphone that she got for her 12th birthday. No big deal.😎
Just over four years ago I was binging kids in their 20’s and 30’s reacting to classics when the image of this little girl sitting on a blue couch showed up as a recommendation. She looked very serious and while I generally don’t care much for child performances (much like you have said in an Angelina reaction, you’re generally supporting their future selves not their current talents), I clicked anyway. I was so blown away that I binged everything on her two UA-cam’s and everything on Rusty Shackleford’s UA-cam (in one sitting). Since that day I have barely listened to anyone else!! I did manage to attend the Portsmouth, NH concert last year but was unable to attend Vegas…
I’m so happy that my favorite Angelina reactor has finally reacted to this one!
Fun to hear how you got hooked Scott. Once you hear Angelina you can't unhear her.
Angelina is in her element. No nerves, just a consummate professional doing her gig with her new microphone she received on her 12th birthday and of course nailing it! 🇳🇴🇺🇸 Etta would be proud!
She was excited to finally get that microphone, but she sang into it backwards. The logo is facing outward towards us instead of in towards her. But her voice is so powerful we don't notice the difference. She's just sitting there on the couch chilling as she belts out that song. Amazing!
@@KenChawkin She may well be doing that on purpose, as it captures a fair bit more of the sound bouncing from the walls, giving the vocal a sound that match the old track nicely. It makes me think of some small stage in a smoky night club. You're right about her powerful voice :)
@@TheBjornwilly interesting idea. In the videos that followed she had the mike facing her the right way. I never noticed it facing outwards again with the logo. She's really belting it out on the last two songs with Toby Gad. We're hearing another new era. Exciting!
I first saw this video of AJ about 4 months ago. I had to listen to it 8 or 10 times a day for a dozen weeks or so. Everything that she does here is so much better than perfect 🥰🙏
11:59 I have been listening to you for a long long time and this particular song from Angelina Jordan this particular cover is my ultimate favorite. Thank you so very much for doing a reaction on it. Absolutely love it! you're right you have to close your eyes to really feel it. I am totally blind myself so all of these songs I have not been able to see the video but the sound that comes out of our princess is simply outstanding amazing. Wow , they're just no words! Thank you. Absolutely extra ordinary. Thank
Goosebumps and chills listening to this every time ❤ A masterpiece by a 12 year old IMO ❤
Heyyyy ! Another Monday with Boudy ! Keep it coming bro 👍🏻
I was so excited when i saw that you finally found this piece of magic. Monday's are more colorful with yours reactions😊
I'm not so sure that the audio that we're hearing is not from that exact moment what we're seeing. We know that it's a brand new microphone she got for her 12th birthday and I'm sure the mix was done after the fact but from all accounts that I've read she's actually singing what we hear there at that time while Seated on the couch and then the audio was mixed after the fact. Let's also keep in mind that it's an over 19 second-long belt toward the end there.
This is a full on stank face in every bar ❤
This girl IS music !!!
This to pay for your time to spend two hours listening to that video I linked. 😉Thanks!
Hey! Wait what video?!?!?! hellow?
Andy mentioned Kaleidoscope RMX, and I love their mashups too. Another great one is 'Ain't No Sunshine'. Love the band Canen that adds so much to Angelina's soul in this one.
Yes 👍👍❤️&☮️
DID YOU NOTICE HOW SHE DIDN'T TAKE A BREATH FOR THAT WHOLE PART THERE RIGHT BEFORE THE END?
Go watch RayVibes reaction to this. 🤣😂
Why do you write in capital letters?
@@Woerdoxer why do you let it bother you bro ?
@@beachbumseaglass EXACTLY!!! 🥰🥰
❤
Now I have to wait a whole week for the next Monday. 😅
Been waiting for you to see this! Breathtaking.
I really don't know how many times I've listened to this over the years. Its so magnificent.
I really do love this girl. Probably too much. If she ever does something foolish I'll be heartbroken. Angelina really does something to me. This performance is a perfect example of her personality and genius.
Thank's for your fantastic and motivating reaction 👍😎
Thanks for finally bring this song up. Where does Angelina get these endless air from?
So great that you went back in time to this master piece of a Angelina legend song. Happy to see you on those classics till she releases new songs.
My eyes also went wet when i was you floating away in this genius' performance of 12 yrs old playing around with her brand new Neumann mic, given to her by the Norwegian military band she recorded the IT'S MAGIC album while she was 11. Maybe very short before they moved to LA. We never saw this couch in LA again, did we?
The last 1 breath run will always be in the Hall of Angelina Magics. And this Hall is already over-stuffed by her age 18... Guess when she's 70 they need to have built an own "Louvre d'Astar" for her.
The microphone was actually given to her by her Uncle Michael. It was stated by him in an interview article, "was intended for her 12th birthday but was delayed in giving it to her by several months". April 6 2018 when the video was uploaded to her cover channel, in her original post she stated, "had just received this new Neumann 102 mic for my birthday and wanted to try it out" which shows that she was in fact 12 and this song is the first after having received the mic. After this she next posted "A Million Years Ago" on April 7 2018 and several others that month which is still available on her cover channel. The mic being backwards in this video was likely not intentional as she received al lot of messages in the comment section that it was backwards and she never did it again. Several years later she upgraded to a Neumann 103.
@@robertbiron Hello Robert! Thank you for detailling that up! Didnt know, that Mike said that. I liked the story of the staff-band gave it to her for her birthday , thank you for the great coorperation and farewell to the US :) - But there are so many heartwarming Legends around her... thats fine. She's a living legend already, and Legends weave some vines by themselves sometimes.
Really looking forward to Sara's book! ...
Boudy, have you ever watched other Reactors and notice how happy they are when reacting to Angelina. The same joy and happiness that overtakes you ? What is so enchanting about this whole Angelina experience is. Never has modern humans watch a baby been followed so much. From Diapers Days. Pictures and videos were there. Like you are living in her home. Or she is a member of your family. Her life has touched every emotional part of your/our life . Somehow someone had the insight to practically sleep with a Camera. Even now I wonder if there is a personal camera person or two that has a job to be there to document her movements.
Yes there is, her name is Mery and is her grandma! Does it for no pay, just out of love and recognition of a fellow prodigy who the world will want to know about for generations to come.
The story goes that this was a new mic for her birthday and she was holding it the wrong way around. Amazing talent.
Reversed microphone on purpose, apparently. She is quite loud and close to a very expensive microphone.
how appropriate... a top tier microphone for her birthday gift..
There is no "wrong" way around.
@@samsabruskongen I got this from the manufacturer's website:"The TLM 103 is addressed from the front, marked
with the Neumann logo."
So, the story about her first time out using the mike backwards really is true. Not that it hurt the recording, eh?
I am for a 24-track of Angelina anything.❤❤❤❤👣
😅❤❤
As always AJ knocks it out of the park. But, you should check out Beth Hart's renditions too. One with Joe Bonamassa, which most people gravitate to because of Joe's extended guitar solo. One with Jeff Beck at the Kennedy Center Honors for Buddy Guy which, for me, was even more emotional.
AJ's version is closer to Etta James. Beth's will blow your socks off. Both are perfect.
I was so hoping you’d get to this and, as always, you knocked it out of the park! Now if you’d just do her greatest song (IMHO)on the Oslo rooftop Every Time We Say Goodbye. 😊
One of her best thank you wild bill
She's playing with her new birthday present. The new
Microphone.
Have you ever met Angelina or see a live performance? You should meet her . She probably knows your work. It would be magic 14:07
This is one of your best episodes! Angelina is impossibly brilliant, giving out so much soul that it brings tears to my eyes (when she has never experienced anything of what she's singing about); and you show so much emotion over every bit of it that it feels like a completely symbiotic experience, and doubles the satisfaction of it!! And then you go and give us THE BEST pep talk for jump-starting our day, and week,that I feel like a race horse at the starting gate when the gun goes off!! Dear Friend, thank you for this fantastic episode!!!
🥰 Love mondays
I love your reactions the background your give to songs and the way you share your thoughts and passion. Good job as always cheers from Australia 🦘🇦🇺
I'm surprised she didn't fry that microphone to a crisp.
She sings this song as if she Is channeling the soul of a 68-year-old black mammy, who was sitting in a rocking chair, on a hot day in North Carolina,on her front porch of her old, weathered tin roof bungalow. Doo rag on her head... Pink and white checker board cloth corron fabric.
🎉🎉🎉🎉
From your so-specific old-times description, I just want to add (because everyone is calling out racism wherever it raises its ugly head) that I believe you described that character that way to recognize and honor her because there's NO ONE who would've had more of life's gamut of experiences, including tragedy, and felt more, than that woman you described, in order to be able to sing from that unfathomable depth of a soul.
@@BAfan-tt9zl well said. While life can and does challenge us all it’s so vital to remember history. I refuse to be blind deaf and dumb.!!! Monkeys can corner the market and join the circus. I’ll never accept lies from those in power with an agenda based on lies.
@@BAfan-tt9zl yup.. But I must also add as a very learned person, With heightened observational skills , logic reasoning and understanding an ability to dissect, I certainly shall profess that those who call out.Racism are in fact most often the racists...... I don't care if their projection is based on insecurity or stupidity or pure a nurse... My suggestion is nothing to learn and grow up. No one.
Should be so upset over commonly used words which meant something throughout history....

I believe that this was her first video with the new Neumann mic, and I think she's holding it backwards in the video. So she rerecorded the audio but used the first video.
This is true, she is holding it the wrong way around. Perhaps intentionally as the audio was pre-recorded.
Of course I should also have said, one of the best examples of her incredibe vocal fry and overall ability at this age.
You got your Stank face on LOL 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Brody, thanks❤
One year and an extra FOUR MINUTES 😮😂Been waiting
Hahahaha
@@ArabManReactsone year and five minutes, but who's counting. Rb
@@RichardBourne Arabs! Thats who. Those who gave us Al Gebra I’m sure are the ones who are counting 😆
@@osowallman5743 I love the 16th and 17th centuries and al-Khwarizmi's is a favorite. Love you brother. ♾Rb
Angel.ina 😇🙏❤️One of my favorite
I think that when Angelina sings (id rather go blind), (lovin you) and (its a mans mans world) she drinks a couple of whiskeys, smokes a fan and becomes an old woman. Otherwise this has no explanation, it is incredible!! thanks Arab Man from Argentina 🇦🇷
I'll never understand how she does that entire run in a single breath.
Great, thanks! 12th birthday present - microphone. We can date many videos after this as being at least 12 yr old with this microphone,
Now to complete the socks being blown off, check out the mash up of this with Chris Stapleton singing Tennessee Whisky!!!
All I have to say is that she understands music. She is special and we are very fortunate to hear such an amazing artist like her,
I want to thank you so much for reacting to this song!!! It is one of my favorites that she covers! Your reaction was just what I needed!!
I love love loooooooove your reaction. You’re so knowledgeable and it’s really refreshing to know bits and pieces of why I feel like I do when listening to her. ❤️🤩
Angelina has a Jazz album that she released with The Staff Band of The Norwegian Armed Forces called It's Magic.
I have waited for this for so long. This should've been in first ten reactions somewhere. It's one of my favorites by far. Now, you can mash up another highlight video.
Shows her pure talent❤
To your comment ... Angelina took an Etta James song and Angelined it....
I think that the Jazz album will come. If she can make her mark big--then she can do that stuff without "branding herself' with it. Stevie brought back the Blues--Angelina can bring back Jazz. You will fall over when you listen to "I Will Survive" ua-cam.com/video/ma7sa_n7k-8/v-deo.html Have a good week.
Thanks AMR, I will try again to do what I have been struggling to do for so long.
Finally 😂 this is one of my favorites
Every time Angelina sing, singer, I have goosebumps all over my body. I love it.❤
One reactor who was new to AJ when he first started to listen to this thought she was lip syncing the song so he quickly pulled off camera the Etta James recording and realized he was wrong.
Thanks, thanks, thanks....Thanks so much for the reaction to our angel Angelina..she is simply the best…👍👏
I second that request. I’m putting in my order for that right now. I don’t know when I will get it because she has so much that she wants to. But I will wait… and savor it when then wine is ready.
PS, I love your reaction to this.
Thanks!
Thank you!!!
Kid's a genius........no doubt about it....one in a generation...or maybe generations....stunning performance from a child sitting on a couch....you have to be kidding me...WHAT???? Thank you for reacting to this....loved every minute of it.....and your commentary...great...
Tenía mucho tiempo esperando que reaccionaras a ésta canción , gracias !!
Disfruto enormemente tus reacciones sobre AJ !
