The Apex of Perfection: The performance of "If I Were A Boy" by Angelina Jordan, featuring Toby Gad on the piano, and another on cello, is a testament to the timeless appeal of live music. Angelina's choice to perform barefoot, a nod to her unique style and perhaps a symbol of her connection to the music, adds a layer of authenticity to the experience. The setting of a church likely provided an acoustic richness that complemented the emotional depth of the song. This collaboration between the young, talented vocalist and the accomplished musician showcases the power of music to convey complex emotions and create memorable moments. The white gown worn by Angelina could be seen as a reflection of the song's pure and introspective message, resonating with listeners on a profound level. Such performances are not just about the music; they're about the atmosphere, the visual presentation, and the shared experience between the artist and the audience. Angelina Jordan's rendition of "If I Were A Boy" in such a setting is a beautiful example of how live performances can captivate and move an audience. For those interested in experiencing this performance, the official release of the song is available for listeners.
This was her 5th or 6th performance of this song. The first performance in a small venue in LA. Her second performance on one of the biggest stages in the world when she performed it live with Toby Gad on Andrew Lloyd Webber's theatre 'The Palladium in London. Angelina dropped her Official Music Video of 'If I Were a Boy’ The Piano Diaries by Toby Gad. He co-wrote this song with B C Jean and it was made famous by Beyoncé in 2008. Toby is working on a reimagining of 9 of his most famous hits and he chose Angelina for this 'reimagination' of this song. This was her second performance released on her Official Channel. They are currently working together on several more songs one of which she performed with her 1st performance of this song at a local nightspot in LA where she also performed this unreleased single called 'Bad Valentine which should be dropping in the next few months. There are also suggestions that they are actually collaborating on Angelina's New Album. Fingers crossed. We are hoping that will soon follow. Toby Gad is a world-renowned multi-Grammy winning songwriter and producer from Germany. I believe we are 'finally' at the precipice of Angelina's introduction to the World Stage and doing it with the power, class and emotion that only Angelina can bring. It is happening right in front of our eyes in real time and I could not be more excited. You don't want to be too late to this monumental moment. Beautiful 😊♥👣
We have had 6 performances of 'If I Were a Boy' and two official videos. Angelina has never released that much material in such short period of time. 'Bad Valentine is expected to be released shortly and if they do the same type of promotion plus the fact that she is working on her long awaited Album being released around september I am finally seeing a big push over the next year designed to hit the Music Industry hard with Angelina's unique style. There is no one like her and her voice while being beautiful it is also so unique you know instantly Angelina is singing in any performance she does. I hope and believe that is the plan. If they can maintain that kind of push through the year to the Grammys I really believe we are seeing the kind of promotion we have all been waiting for. All toward our most desired wish for Angelina to get the recognition she deserves. She is destined to take her place among the Greatest of All Time. And then she can fulfill her wish to sing for the whole world. Hopefully by about this time next year she will be know by all, a household name and new fans will be exploding exponentially and launching her into the stratosphere. 😊♥👣 Just released with Toby's OK.

Like probably every one of Angelina's Angels, I have, for a long time, been mystified as to why she is not exploding all over every radio station, tv network and music chart all over the world. I know we all understood the need for her to finish school, and we fully appreciate and are grateful for the great care and protection showered upon her by her "Shield", her loving family. But then we were told "Old Enough", and we thought "This is it!". And nothing much changed. Okay, we remain confident that her people, and Angelina herself, are guiding her path carefully and correctly, but I admit to being a bit disappointed that she is not yet on any major charts, especially considering that every song on her EP is vastly superior to just about everything on, for example, the Billboard charts. I believe it's time.
@@patrickchauharjasingh7164I think Toby Gad will use his media savy and contacts to give AJ that breakthrough.The fact that they are cocreating original material together and Toby calling her a very,very,very special performer shows his commitment to their work.
A cover only in the sense that what Beyoncé made was a cover of the song written by BC Jean and Toby Gad, originally performed by Jean in 2008. Beyoncé's cover was that same year. This video is something like the 5th time I have seen her cover the song. She has been working with the composer Toby Gad. He invited Angelina to England with him to perform. I am not sure if it is really a cover when a singer is standing next to the composer as they jam to create a different version of the song.
Yes BC Jean and Toby Gad wrote this and BC Jean performed it first...Beyonce did a cover in 2008....Angelina did this re-imagined version for Toby's Piano Diaries Album, though the version in the Cathedral in London is for the piano Diaries. You all may want to check out the re-imagined version in the London Cathedral with just Toby on piano, a Cello, and violins, simply stunning.

If I Were a Boy was written by Toby Gad and BC Jean - Toby Tab asked Angelina to sing the song for his retrospective album Piano Diaries - As a result of this initial collaboration Angelina and Toby Gad have partnered up to write some new songs that will be released later in 2024 - the first song is titled Bad Valentine which is being previewed - Angelina's performance is something you need to fasten your seatbelts for: ua-cam.com/video/yTjzhPSVguc/v-deo.html
Toby Gad the original composer and writer of this song invited Angelina to record his song and give it a fresh new spin ! Boy she never disappoints ever ! Angelina took his song to another level of heart and soul that only Angelina can deliver ! She made this song richer and more meaningful ! This song should be all over the charts because it's fantastic and certainly a chart topper ! Beyonce made it famous but Angelina makes it iconic as she made it her own ! Thank you both for your most heartfelt comments ! You are truly angels and your Tube channel is so much appreciated by all the angels all over the world ! Keep posting my friends ! Sending much thanks and love from Canada ! 👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️
Many perfer the piano diaries version as hits harder, its more emotional, and your left checking to see if your breathing. This is a modern poppy version. Both were released!
Angelina works nowadays with Toby Gad who has also originally written this song. Maybe that is why this rendition is quite close to the original one (BC Jean) or the one that Beyonce did shortly after the original one. Toby and Angelina also make totally original music together. They will release some of it in next September. "Bad Valentine" already was played live recently in LA and it is a really powerful song. Toby Gad is a big name in the music industry, he has over 15 billion streams for songs he has been writing for many very famous artists. He seems to be a really nice guy and I think they have a great working relationship with Angelina.
Don't feel bad about not being able to describe the magic of her vocals. Hundreds of reactors have tried with limited success. The best I've heard was very non-technical: "She's the truth."
Angelina performed If I Were A Boy Live with Toby Gad (piano and co-writer of the song) at the London Palladium on May 20, 2024: ua-cam.com/video/SLX7sIZz1oU/v-deo.html
Excelente reacción chicos, pir favor reaccionen a su interpretación en una iglesia de UK, para mi gusto, debiese haber sido la versión oficial, es épico, su voz, un piano, un chello y un violín, increíble!!
Nice reaction! This version is a much more commercial sounding song than the Piano Diaries Version. The instrumentation is very different but the song stills sounds great! Very interesting that this was directed and produced by Toby Gad! This song is made to be played on the radio. If you haven't yet, please check out that other version of this song. ua-cam.com/video/eJr-BfUQ2jE/v-deo.html By the way, who is Toby Gad? Gad is a German music producer and songwriter based in Los Angeles. He is known for co-writing songs including John Legend's biggest hit, "All of Me", the fifth-highest certified single in RIAA history, and for co-writing and producing "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie and "If I Were a Boy" by Beyoncé. Other notable works include "Skyscraper" for Demi Lovato, "Who You Are" for Jessie J, "Untouched" for The Veronicas, "A Year Without Rain" for Selena Gomez & the Scene, "Don't Hold Your Breath" for Nicole Scherzinger, "Love You More" for JLS, and "I Do" for Colbie Caillat. BREAKING NEWS! Toby Gad gave permission to UA-camr James Thiel to release the Angelina Jordan song called Bad Valentine that he and Angelina had worked on together and performed at a small venue in L.A. It's currently not officially released and probably wanted to surprise the audience with something special. Please check it out! ua-cam.com/video/yTjzhPSVguc/v-deo.html

Vibrato Grill Jazz in Los Angeles on June 20, 2024 (Herb Alpert’s Vibrato Grill & Jazz 2930 N Beverly Glen Cir, Los Angeles, CA 90077 ) Toby Gad with Angelina Jordan, the acclaimed Norwegian singer, is indeed scheduled to grace the stage at the Vibrato Grill Jazz in Los Angeles on June 20, 2024. Known for her soulful voice and captivating performances, Jordan's appearance is highly anticipated by fans and critics alike. The Vibrato Grill Jazz is renowned for its intimate atmosphere and excellent acoustics, providing the perfect setting for Jordan's powerful vocal delivery. Her performance is expected to feature a blend of jazz standards and contemporary pieces, showcasing her versatility and emotional depth as an artist. This event promises to be a memorable experience for all attendees, further cementing Angelina Jordan's status as a leading figure in modern jazz music.
Both these covers are glorious but I prefer the stripped down version Piano Diaries. That version lets her voice absolutely shine. Thanks to Toby for asking her to sing this cover of his song for his Piano Diaries album. Toby is quoted saying, “Working with Angelina has been nothing short of inspiring. Her ability to channel profound emotion through her voice adds a whole new depth to the song.” They are also working on other songs for AJ. This will be huge for her.
It certainly does have something to do with Beyonce since Toby didn’t ask her to re-imagine his song. He deserves credit for recognizing that Angelina’s uniquely gifted talent.
The project, called the Piano Diaries, is Gad's plan to select 8 or 9 of his top song and match them to newer, less recognized artists. The words and music are Gad's, not Beyoncé's, as will be the case with the other songs in this project.
Nice reaction guys! Although this is great, as has been mentioned a lot of us prefer the Piano Diaries version filmed in a church ua-cam.com/video/eJr-BfUQ2jE/v-deo.html Also, a video was just released (by James T. & sanctioned by Toby) of a live performance of a new, original, unreleased song by Angelina and Toby titled "Bad Valentine". Angelina brings a bit of an attitude here... ua-cam.com/video/yTjzhPSVguc/v-deo.html
Although this song was made famous by Beyonce, this song was neither written by nor for Beyonce, so not her cover. This was co-written by Toby Gad and BC Jean for BC Jean and co writer Toby Gad asked Angelina to re-invent the song for him. Tobias "Toby" Gad (born 28 March 1968) is a German music producer and songwriter based in Los Angeles. He is known for co-writing songs including John Legend's biggest hit, "All of Me", the fifth-highest certified single in RIAA history, and for co-writing and producing "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie and "If I Were a Boy" by Beyoncé. Other notable works include "Skyscraper" for Demi Lovato, "Who You Are" for Jessie J, "Untouched" for The Veronicas, "A Year Without Rain" for Selena Gomez & the Scene, "Don't Hold Your Breath" for Nicole Scherzinger, "Love You More" for JLS, and "I Do" for Colbie Caillat. In the third quarter of 2014, Gad was ranked the #3 songwriter in America by Billboard, behind Ryan Tedder and Pharrell Williams.
Hi fam, Written by B.C.Jean and Toby Gad (the pianist in the other video). Toby asked Miss Angelina to sing this song and they rearranged it together. He knows, that she is literally a genius. I prefer the other video, where they recorded in a church (both videos where recorded in London), because it concentrates on the music, not the surroundings. Her first original was "What is life?": ua-cam.com/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/v-deo.html Be safe. Elmar from Germany
This format is so very similar to the Academy Award winning song by Bruce Springsteen when he performed 'Streets of Philadelphia' for the movie 'Philadelphia'. Bruce, like Angelina, is simply seen walking the city streets and it was sheer genius. Angelina applies even more impressive vocals than Bruce as she brings forth another mark of genius.
Beyonce is not the original singer. I prefer Angelina's version of the song in the church. It's a stripped down performance that accentuate her voice and not with the loud music you hear in this video.

Toby Gad the original composer and writer of this song invited Angelina to record his song and give it a fresh new spin ! Boy she never disappoints ever ! Angelina took his song to another level of heart and soul that only Angelina can deliver ! She made this song richer and more meaningful ! This song should be all over the charts because it's fantastic and certainly a chart topper ! Beyonce made it famous but Angelina makes it iconic as she made it her own ! Thank you both for your most heartfelt comments ! You are truly angels and your Tube channel is so much appreciated by all the angels all over the world ! Keep posting my friends ! Sending much thanks and love from Canada ! 👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️
Many perfer the piano diaries version as hits harder, its more emotional, and your left checking to see if your breathing. This is a modern poppy version. Both were released!
Angelina works nowadays with Toby Gad who has also originally written this song. Maybe that is why this rendition is quite close to the original one (BC Jean) or the one that Beyonce did shortly after the original one. Toby and Angelina also make totally original music together. They will release some of it in next September. "Bad Valentine" already was played live recently in LA and it is a really powerful song. Toby Gad is a big name in the music industry, he has over 15 billion streams for songs he has been writing for many very famous artists. He seems to be a really nice guy and I think they have a great working relationship with Angelina.
Don't feel bad about not being able to describe the magic of her vocals. Hundreds of reactors have tried with limited success. The best I've heard was very non-technical: "She's the truth."
Angelina performed If I Were A Boy Live with Toby Gad (piano and co-writer of the song) at the London Palladium on May 20, 2024: ua-cam.com/video/SLX7sIZz1oU/v-deo.html
Excelente reacción chicos, pir favor reaccionen a su interpretación en una iglesia de UK, para mi gusto, debiese haber sido la versión oficial, es épico, su voz, un piano, un chello y un violín, increíble!!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Beyonce covered this song by BCJesn
Now do the long white dress, cathedral video with Toby Gad on piano and the strings!
Nice reaction! This version is a much more commercial sounding song than the Piano Diaries Version. The instrumentation is very different but the song stills sounds great! Very interesting that this was directed and produced by Toby Gad! This song is made to be played on the radio. If you haven't yet, please check out that other version of this song. ua-cam.com/video/eJr-BfUQ2jE/v-deo.html By the way, who is Toby Gad?

You should not put out information unless it can be verified. What makes you think she will be appearing?
We all would like to know that .
BC Jean, co-writer, sang it first. Beyoncé did a cover song.😇🌸🌺
Both these covers are glorious but I prefer the stripped down version Piano Diaries. That version lets her voice absolutely shine. Thanks to Toby for asking her to sing this cover of his song for his Piano Diaries album. Toby is quoted saying, “Working with Angelina has been nothing short of inspiring. Her ability to channel profound emotion through her voice adds a whole new depth to the song.” They are also working on other songs for AJ. This will be huge for her.
Pleace react angelina bad valentine
This has nothing to do with Beyonce, the guy who co-wrote this song Toby Gad asked Angelina to re-invent it for him...
It certainly does have something to do with Beyonce since Toby didn’t ask her to re-imagine his song. He deserves credit for recognizing that Angelina’s uniquely gifted talent.
The project, called the Piano Diaries, is Gad's plan to select 8 or 9 of his top song and match them to newer, less recognized artists. The words and music are Gad's, not Beyoncé's, as will be the case with the other songs in this project.
Well said Tom Rogers. And you said it pleasantly too. 😉😊
🎶💙👣
First performance of this original with co-writer Grammy winner Toby Gad.😇🌸🌺 ua-cam.com/video/PlCKeh_AGHU/v-deo.htmlsi=jS-KllshhsKHGHMO
Nice reaction guys! Although this is great, as has been mentioned a lot of us prefer the Piano Diaries version filmed in a church ua-cam.com/video/eJr-BfUQ2jE/v-deo.html
Also, a video was just released (by James T. & sanctioned by Toby) of a live performance of a new, original, unreleased song by Angelina and Toby titled "Bad Valentine". Angelina brings a bit of an attitude here... ua-cam.com/video/yTjzhPSVguc/v-deo.html
i ts not a cover
Although this song was made famous by Beyonce, this song was neither written by nor for Beyonce, so not her cover. This was co-written by Toby Gad and BC Jean for BC Jean and co writer Toby Gad asked Angelina to re-invent the song for him. Tobias "Toby" Gad (born 28 March 1968) is a German music producer and songwriter based in Los Angeles. He is known for co-writing songs including John Legend's biggest hit, "All of Me", the fifth-highest certified single in RIAA history, and for co-writing and producing "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie and "If I Were a Boy" by Beyoncé. Other notable works include "Skyscraper" for Demi Lovato, "Who You Are" for Jessie J, "Untouched" for The Veronicas, "A Year Without Rain" for Selena Gomez & the Scene, "Don't Hold Your Breath" for Nicole Scherzinger, "Love You More" for JLS, and "I Do" for Colbie Caillat. In the third quarter of 2014, Gad was ranked the #3 songwriter in America by Billboard, behind Ryan Tedder and Pharrell Williams.
Thanks for the knowledge!
Hi fam, Written by B.C.Jean and Toby Gad (the pianist in the other video). Toby asked Miss Angelina to sing this song and they rearranged it together. He knows, that she is literally a genius.
I prefer the other video, where they recorded in a church (both videos where recorded in London), because it concentrates on the music, not the surroundings.
Her first original was "What is life?": ua-cam.com/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/v-deo.html
Be safe.
Elmar from Germany
This format is so very similar to the Academy Award winning song by Bruce Springsteen when he performed
'Streets of Philadelphia' for the movie 'Philadelphia'. Bruce, like Angelina, is simply seen walking the city streets
and it was sheer genius. Angelina applies even more impressive vocals than Bruce as she brings forth another
mark of genius.
Reaction to Bizarap!
Beyonce is not the original singer. I prefer Angelina's version of the song in the church. It's a stripped down performance that accentuate her voice and not with the loud music you hear in this video.
Does she have a whine in all her songs ?
Oh give it a rest will ya with the step aside Beyonce shes not even close, this girl has the most annoying voice ive ever heard 🇬🇧
