The guitarist, Ivan Mendez, has said the hardest thing about playing for Angelina is maintaining his concentration when he is being blown away by her vocals. Just watch his facial expressions as he hears her sing this for the 1st time!
I agree, This is my all time favorite of hers at any age. Its has everything Plus the emotion the passion she sings with her hands also.shes the whole package. God Bless her, Great reaction.
Angelina and Ivan Mendez did a number of recordings. He would come to her and her family. They'd hang out during the day. In the event they'd settle on a song quickly went through it and than recorded it. Ivan said it was usually one raw recording unless he messed up :-) So this is mostly unrehearsed, raw and a one take recording. You can see Angelina glance to her left where probably the lyrics are The result is this amazing performance with so much heart and sou it pierces the soul :-)
Wonderful reaction! Just you wait, there are many more experiences like this waiting for you with Angelina! Thanks for a great start to my Sunday morning!
She is the diamond! Angelina is an extremely rare treasure, I see you coming back to her more than once! Don't stop, please! With more than 170 covers and 6 own songs, you will never be bored! You gave a nice response, thank you very much!
Hi Gin Gin, nice to meet you, how are you doing? This is one of my favorite recordings by Angelina and actually the one that had me angelized nearly two years ago, in January of '21. I had got to know her in late December of 2020 and was blown away by some performances by her, my first one was "I Put A Spell On You", then "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Feeling Good", "Yellow Brick Road" and maybe one or two others, I don't remember exactly... then there was a short intermission, the holidays, seeing my family over christmas, new year's celebration...not long after when I was back from Munich, one evening after a day out in the garden I was about to start a fire my fireplace, outside it was snowing heavily, I intended to just relax in front of a cozy fire, sip on a glass of a nice red wine and listen to some beautiful music... whom was I going to listen to? I remembered that little girl from Norway, Angelina, good idea, I would discover some more by her... I didn't know "A Million Years Ago" by Adele, but the title sounded interesting to me, so I clicked on that one... I was not watching as I was busy with my fire, I had her on my sound system, so it was just her voice in the dark room, the fire, the snow outside, and she had just sung the first few words when everything started to melt down, my eyes filled with tears overflowing within seconds, I merely had time to realize what happened when suddenly I felt a terrible pain in my chest, it felt like Angelina, with her voice, was literally tearing my heart out. I had fallen on the floor before the fire and cried like a little baby lost all alone, when the song was over I put it on repeat, painful as it was I could not help it, and after six or seven rounds I was slowly able to calm down and experienced a very strange thing, because it felt like if Angelina, when tearing out my heart had not taken it to destroy it, but to repair it, by her singing she carefully cut away old, worn out pieces of my heart that were no longer of any good use, replacing them with new ones which would be better suited for the future, mending all the pieces and bits together in a new, more harmonic order and then carefully putting it back to the place where it belonged and was needed. After round 12 I felt completely reborn, the whole thing was rather a spiritual than a musical experience and I have not been the same ever after, I felt a deep relief and thankfulness for the gift of Angelina's voice, and that has been the day I started to listen to her on a regular basis... And it was this song, which since that day is precious to my heart, and it was a wonderful reaction by our host, she obviously got it, so thanks for that, filled my heart with joy, this was a pleasure to watch! have a great day y'all and enjoy it thoroughly!
@@Hundhammer wish your experience could be for all the suffering ones among us. And repeated a thousand times every moment. This is happening, I’m not sure why. Angelinas heartfelt desire to spread love thru music is.
Ivan said in an interview he really had difficulty playing for her because the beauty of her singing was so distracting, he couldn't believe he was so close to someone that good. You can see it in his face in several of their recordings. Take care, hope to see you well next week.
My dear, the love in her soul is touching you and, in essence, it is much more than listening to her sing for you. She is now with you wherever you go and she will never leave you. It's wonderful!
Even though I had been a huge Angelina fan, this is the one that threw me over the edge. I thought that 12 year old Angelina was, simply, the best singer I’d ever heard. And several years later, I’m absolutely positive of that. Acoustic Angelina is just devastating because you hear the unique beauty of her voice so clearly, as well as the nuances of her expression. I’ve listened to this song hundreds of times, and I still react physically every time I hear it. Her impromptu sessions with Ivan on guitar are absolute magic. It is essential, imperative, required that you now watch Angelina and Ivan in her cover of Rihanna’s “Stay”. ua-cam.com/video/_GSVPvCy3Yg/v-deo.html It’s absolutely beautiful-and like today’s, there’s no production, no filters, no processing. Just Angelina, jamming with Ivan, giving you the best version of that song you will ever hear. And you’ll see, as you mentioned today, Ivan just carried away by Angelina’s astonishing ability to make you feel the real meaning of the lyrics with her uniquely beautiful voice.
The last thing you hear from AJ is almost always one of your favorites -- because no matter how many times you experience her voice, it's never sufficient preparation for the next time . . . .
Whenever she covers a heartfelt ballad by Adele, the emotional penetration she delivers far exceeds what Adele is able to convey. Basically, it comes down to the fact that, as great as Adele is, she is a non-jazz singer and with Angelina being rooted in that genre it gives her an unattainable advantage over Adele on songs like this. I won't even dwell on the fact that Adele's rendition was done in a professional studio with all the musical accompaniments she decides to use. Here, Angelina is at home in a jam session with her friend Ivan on guitar. Neither of them were able to even practice the song so Ivan just followed Angelina's lead as best as he could, and even though Angelina had to read the lyrics from a tablet at her side, she automatically revises the song to better fit the mood it is supposed to convey. The girl gave me 'chills', especially when she remarks about the mother lyric in the song. With regard to different genres of music, there has never been an individual singer as versatile as her.
Breathtaking, isn't it? Queen of vibratoes... Makes our souls vibrate with hers. Saw, how she read the lyrics? This was a practicing session... After this I strongly recommend her version of Rihanna's "Stay" by the same team, at the same place. These two have a special connection...
When I discovered Angelina this spring, immediately I recognized something extraordinary about her singing. She makes me consider whether Homer’s writing about the mythical Sirens that Ulysses encountered in the Odyssey might be based on some long-lost legends of an ancient technique or art of singing that Angelina has rediscovered. I am finding her vocal tone and talent to be at the level of mythical. She has something extremely unique.
The biggest difference is that where the Sirens lured sailors to be dashed to pieces on the rocky shores, instead Angelina wraps you in a warm blanket and calms and soothes your soul.
When it comes to singing there's no difference between Angelina and the Sirens in intensity, yet there's quite a significant difference in intention...
I'm not religious at all, and don't believe in heaven, but she is the closest thing to an angel that I can imagine! The voice, the skills, but mostly the love behind it! She creates a heaven after all! ;-)
I am not sure if u have reacted to her another Adel cover song (all I ask) but if u haven't and if u think this song and bohemian rapsudy are your 2 most favorites by her then u better check that one out darling 👍👍💙💙💙
The guitarist? His name is Ivan Mendez He has a UA-cam channel of his own: ua-cam.com/users/IvanLives and he is very talented. If you watched him closely during this performance, you'll see the effect Angelina's voice has on him. As someone else suggested, the interview done by Alan Papier will give you a whole new appreciation of both Ivan and Angelina. You can find that one at ua-cam.com/video/2uQyt2T3ayE/v-deo.html This performance is one that always gets me. When she sings that line, "I miss my mother" it's just so heartfelt ... even though her mother is probably very nearby. She gets me all misty-eyed by the end of it and then she does that chipper smile, wave, "bye." Thanks for the reaction.
We are simply experiencing genius at work. Thank you, grandma Mery, for your prodigious dna was transferred to your granddaughter and you were able to cultivate her musically from such an insanely young age. I believe you being able to perform at 4 on 'Radio Iran', which I assume involved poetry, made you the one person who knew what gifted children could do at an age when even experts wouldn't have thought possible.
There are several AJ compilations. Put one on in your house and just have it in the background. You may notice that your day goes better. You may even focus and make better choices throughout the day. 😁 It does make the home environment very very pleasant, even dreamy 🥰
Thanks for sharing another great reaction to & appreciation for another masterful performance by Angelina - this time an acoustic masterpiece with guitarist Ivan Mendez. While I'm a huge Angelina Jordan fan & enjoy all her music, there is something magical about hearing her beautiful voice with just a guitar. They have performed several other songs together including: Stay, California Dreaming & You Were Always On My Mind (you might need tissues for this one as Angelina sang this as a tribute to her grandfather shortly after he passed). Always look forward to your Angelina reactions. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan
Get well wishes to you, Dear Reactor. Oh, love to you, Mind Blown. Such sorrow in the voice when she sings the words of regret, and when she sings "...I miss my mother...." I start to cry. Yes, to be the guitar player.... I hear you. Yes, she just makes me happy. I'm with you on that one. Grandma Ellen, over and out. 💜
Can't wait to see your reaction to her singing It's a Mans World , live by Boris ! I seen your reaction to Chris Stapelton singing it , it was a great reaction !! Thanks for covering this special Angel like you do!!!
I hope you are feeling better soon. I don’t typically take multivitamins, but whenever I feel a scratchy throat or any signs of an illness coming on, I take a couple multivitamin, and it often goes away. I assume that I’m getting sick because my immune system is missing something needed to get the job done, and it seems the multivitamin replenishes the resources needed before the illness takes hold.
Thank you for another excellent reaction to Angelina. You are one of the few reactors who recognised Angelina's ability to convey emotions right from the start and, yes, you will never be disappointed by any of her performances. Her cry of anguish as she sang "I miss my mother" was gut-wrenching.
Yes I hear this, and I hear it every day to start my day. Can’t say it is my favorite because how can you choose on, but this is the one I listen to every day to improve myself to be able to look back and be happy with what I did that day. Thanks for the reaction
Yes, you say it has to be one of your favorites... but you're just getting going with her. You'll likely say the same thing when you listen to Stay, another one she performed in that room with Mr. Mendez and at the same age. The red checkered shirt song. A classic.
Whoops pressed the wrong button forgot to add Angelina is not the only phenomenal singer in the world there are many Angelina's only one of these phenomenal singers that has the range of skills that is unparalleled by any
I can never hear too much of Angelina singing for us. You mentioned the guitarist, Ivan Mendez, in your reaction. There's a great interview that Ivan participated in, and it goes right to the heart of your observations. You may want to react to it, as Ivan gives a great deal of backstory and insights into Angelina's brilliance, methodology, and daily life in her home. I recommend you react to the interview, as we can all reflect upon what it would be like to be a fly on the wall, seeing and hearing something we had no access to in regards to these insights. Interview of Ivan Mendez, 2021 - ua-cam.com/video/2uQyt2T3ayE/v-deo.html And, as always, I love your reactions to AJ, and look forward to more of your videos.
Yes, that interview will make you appreciate Angelina's talents even more. The Egil Claussen interview, also on Alan Papier's YT channel, is equally as insightful.
This is one of my favorites by her. Just an off the cuff run through and the emotion she is able to convey is just incredible, even when she's just reading the lyrics from the side.
There's a video that shows AJ in the republic records studio and the sound engineer listing the three other superstars that get it in one take. She's in Good company
"Hypnotic and captivating." Great way to describe it, Adrianna! Especially with her Adele covers. Angelina really loves and respects Adele and you can hear it in her voice and see it in her approach. And, as always, she has the knack for making good songs even better. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! 😇
Hello again, Adrianna, and thank you very much for another great reaction to Angelina🙂 I'm happy to hear that you're feeling better from that cold or flu you have. Tis the season for that shite now I guess😉 I heard you described her as hypnotic. You have no clue just HOW many reactors have used the same term. It's something we all feel to a certain degree. It's as if time doesn't exist when she sings. 3 minutes later she's finished and you go "WHAT????" Angelina was 12 years old in this one, and like with almost all the other performances she did with Ivan here or Egil back home in Norway, she's not totally familiar with the lyrics. They were never planned ahead and improvised on the spot. You can see her turn her head to the left all the time to read the lyrics off of her Ipad or laptop. You can see the left side of her face illuminated by the glow from the screen. Imagine singing with this level of emotion and conviction, all the while reading the lyrics. And the technicality with which she sings is ALWAYS on point, just like it's 2nd nature to her. And I guess it IS. We have no other choice but to bow down to this force of nature. Lastly I would like to thank you for adding yet another reason for looking forward to the Sundays😊 As always, much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
What a beautiful comment! Thank you for this! Thank fully feeling much better now 😊 I appreciate the love and I’m so glad that you have something to look forward to on a Sunday! Sending love from the U.K.! ❤️❤️
Unreal isn't she! There's no one like her and it's definitely no one with her skill set. Since she was 9 years old I challenge anyone to find another person on this planet with the range of skills that this young girl has. You'll find some that have some of the skills that are more developed because they're much older but no one with the range of skills and diversity that she has. Now it's 16 years old she's unmatched and that statement is a matter fact only stated only stated to point out how insane it is that someone this young can be so complete in the world of music. It's difficult to grasp but it is here right in front of us.
Thank you for your heartfelt reaction. I hope you recover soon from the flu. Watching and listening to you, I couldn’t help but think of young Angelina when she had a fever and was ill with the “chickenpox”. She said that would not stop her from doing what she loves and that is music and singing. Here is a video of Angelina when she was ill. It is so inspiring to watch. ua-cam.com/video/2a5BFtFb0EU/v-deo.html
Finally! I've been wondering when you would react to this cover.👍 "I'm still holding out for you" , will not be a disappointment! Oh by the way, 🥰 all your reactions!
This performance is so raw and intimate. Which is harder than being in front of a microphone and speakers. So another beautiful example of her talent and charm.
I find it funny how a lot of reactors have said the same thing about Ivan, they just wouldn't be able to concentrate enough to play an instrument next to MJ.
Please enable the English subtitles option. I don't know English very well and I understand you better when I can look at the inscriptions. Your reaction to Angelina's talent is great :) Thank you. Greetings from Poland:)
If you watch Ivan (guitarist) he shows the same expressions on his face as you do when listening to her sing - he is just as into it! Great partnership, great performance, and great reaction!
My first exposure to Angelina, this song came across my FB news feed for some reason five or six years ago. I've listened to her almost daily ever since. Always enjoy listening to your reactions as well.
Without a doubt, Angelina is destined for greatness!! My concern for her would be to avoid any evil people who are in the industry. Please listen to Katrina Velarde, " Go the Distance, " " Broken Vow, " " Reflection, " and a duet with Jessica Villarubin, " I Surrender." She has a 5 octave range, incredible range, and power for a small person. Blessings to you!! 🙏
I really enjoyed your reactions, especially went you discovered another Angelina Jordan Video. Hope you recover soon looking forward to your next Angelina video. By the way, the answer to your question, "why do I feel emotional went I'm listening to Angelina sing"? A phenomenon called "The Angelina Effect"!
This performance "heals" me...I could listen to her for years and I think this is one of my favorites...her emotion makes me want to cry...I love Adele but never felt like that when listening to her...ivan mendes is magical with her...just beautiful ♥️
Angelina would call Ivan to come over and do some videos and Ivan would say "Angelina I don't know half those songs" and Angelina would say " don't worry about that" and Ivan said he would learn the song and they would only do 1 or 2 takes and post it on UA-cam and yes Ivan said he would get lost in her voice.
It is not only AJ singing but also the lyrics that make me teary every time I hear this version .Aj that young girl here is telling a story shared by many. hope you are doing well
ANGELINA has been influenced/ inspired by jazz from a very early age , but she is far removed from just 1 genre she is able to perform most genre with distinction we should not pigeon hole her , I suspect her album will be a mixture of genre just as her you tube back catalogue is .
adele is good Angelina is magical my faovorite of hers
...and all I can do is watch and cry
Indeed 🥹❤️
Correction 3 beautiful faces
Hi and good morning what a nice surprise two beautiful faces
❤️😁😁😁😁😁❤️❤️❤️ from a hug Angelina fan
Thank you Roy! ❤️🥰
The guitarist, Ivan Mendez, has said the hardest thing about playing for Angelina is maintaining his concentration when he is being blown away by her vocals. Just watch his facial expressions as he hears her sing this for the 1st time!
Miss magical voice Angelina doing what she was born to do, and doing it naturally, both showing their love of music. Thumbs up, great job.
The girl is just the best.
I agree, This is my all time favorite of hers at any age. Its has everything Plus the emotion the passion she sings with her hands also.shes the whole package. God Bless her, Great reaction.
12 year old hypnotist
Right! 😍😍😍
Angelina and Ivan Mendez did a number of recordings. He would come to her and her family. They'd hang out during the day. In the event they'd settle on a song quickly went through it and than recorded it. Ivan said it was usually one raw recording unless he messed up :-) So this is mostly unrehearsed, raw and a one take recording. You can see Angelina glance to her left where probably the lyrics are
The result is this amazing performance with so much heart and sou it pierces the soul :-)
Wonderful reaction! Just you wait, there are many more experiences like this waiting for you with Angelina! Thanks for a great start to my Sunday morning!
I will be the paint on the wall 🧱
😂😂😂🤣 Love this! 😆❤️
Get well soon!
AJ is the best medicine!
Thank you kindly! She sure is! 😍
The world is upside down and having Angelina in it at this perilous time is a God send for us.
She is the diamond! Angelina is an extremely rare treasure, I see you coming back to her more than once! Don't stop, please! With more than 170 covers and 6 own songs, you will never be bored! You gave a nice response, thank you very much!
Hi Gin Gin, nice to meet you, how are you doing? This is one of my favorite recordings by Angelina and actually the one that had me angelized nearly two years ago, in January of '21.

And it was this song, which since that day is precious to my heart, and it was a wonderful reaction by our host, she obviously got it, so thanks for that, filled my heart with joy, this was a pleasure to watch! have a great day y'all and enjoy it thoroughly!
@@Hundhammer Thanks for sharing your transformative moment. My days are consumed with Angelina’s mesmerizing tones. I am addicted.
Cannot resist to listen to her everyday several times 🙂
@@Hundhammer wish your experience could be for all the suffering ones among us. And repeated a thousand times every moment.
This is happening, I’m not sure why. Angelinas heartfelt desire to spread love thru music is.
She is an empath transferring emotion from her soul to yours through her magical tone.😇
Ivan said in an interview he really had difficulty playing for her because the beauty of her singing was so distracting, he couldn't believe he was so close to someone that good. You can see it in his face in several of their recordings. Take care, hope to see you well next week.
Oh wow! Well that makes complete sense! 😍😍😍
never dissapoints
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
There is gold. There is platinum. There is diamond. Then there is Angelina Jordan Astar, an extremely rare and precious gem.
The voice of an angel !!!
My dear, the love in her soul is touching you and, in essence, it is much more than listening to her sing for you. She is now with you wherever you go and she will never leave you. It's wonderful!
Yeah ... I can listen to this over and over
Even though I had been a huge Angelina fan, this is the one that threw me over the edge. I thought that 12 year old Angelina was, simply, the best singer I’d ever heard. And several years later, I’m absolutely positive of that. Acoustic Angelina is just devastating because you hear the unique beauty of her voice so clearly, as well as the nuances of her expression.

I'm not religious at all, and don't believe in heaven, but she is the closest thing to an angel that I can imagine! The voice, the skills, but mostly the love behind it! She creates a heaven after all! ;-)
I am not sure if u have reacted to her another Adel cover song (all I ask) but if u haven't and if u think this song and bohemian rapsudy are your 2 most favorites by her then u better check that one out darling 👍👍💙💙💙

Please react to Angelinas cutest video on UA-cam: "Angelina sings for her little sister" at age 8.
You will find it in UA-cam search.
Beautiful reaction, thanks so much for sharing! 💖
❤️🙏🏽
How is it possible to sing it first time in one Take and it sounds more beautiful than the Original❣️

Get well wishes to you, Dear Reactor. Oh, love to you, Mind Blown. Such sorrow in the voice when she sings the words of regret, and when she sings "...I miss my mother...." I start to cry. Yes, to be the guitar player.... I hear you. Yes, she just makes me happy. I'm with you on that one. Grandma Ellen, over and out. 💜
Can't wait to see your reaction to her singing It's a Mans World , live by Boris ! I seen your reaction to Chris Stapelton singing it , it was a great reaction !! Thanks for covering this special Angel like you do!!!
I hope you are feeling better soon.
I don’t typically take multivitamins, but whenever I feel a scratchy throat or any signs of an illness coming on, I take a couple multivitamin, and it often goes away.

💗💗💗
She reaches in and grabs your heart and won’t let go. Never has a singer made me feel this way.
She doesn't just sing.....she is an actress/story teller with her voice. 😮
Her voice is a magic carpet. All time stops when she sings.
Who reads lyrics while singing and pours out so much emotions into the song? Angelina of course. Great reaction.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Yes, you say it has to be one of your favorites... but you're just getting going with her. You'll likely say the same thing when you listen to Stay, another one she performed in that room with Mr. Mendez and at the same age. The red checkered shirt song. A classic.
More than likely 😂😂😂 I have a long way to go 😅😅
Whoops pressed the wrong button forgot to add Angelina is not the only phenomenal singer in the world there are many Angelina's only one of these phenomenal singers that has the range of skills that is unparalleled by any
Not one singer,
Getz
It!!! Her love voice..can't
BE Beat!!!! LOVE YOUR HNES THE T
can

I can never hear too much of Angelina singing for us. You mentioned the guitarist, Ivan Mendez, in your reaction. There's a great interview that Ivan participated in, and it goes right to the heart of your observations. You may want to react to it, as Ivan gives a great deal of backstory and insights into Angelina's brilliance, methodology, and daily life in her home. I recommend you react to the interview, as we can all reflect upon what it would be like to be a fly on the wall, seeing and hearing something we had no access to in regards to these insights.

And, as always, I love your reactions to AJ, and look forward to more of your videos.
Yes, that interview will make you appreciate Angelina's talents even more. The Egil Claussen interview, also on Alan Papier's YT channel, is equally as insightful.
This is one of my favorites by her. Just an off the cuff run through and the emotion she is able to convey is just incredible, even when she's just reading the lyrics from the side.
There's a video that shows AJ in the republic records studio and the sound engineer listing the three other superstars that get it in one take. She's in Good company
I thought there were just three in total... one of the others was Beyonce, don't remember the third...

Oso The quote was by Mikkel Eriksen, one of the Stargate producers.
What people often forget is that her first Language is Norwegian, and yet her diction in this song is absolutely perfect! As is her singing.
"Hypnotic and captivating." Great way to describe it, Adrianna! Especially with her Adele covers. Angelina really loves and respects Adele and you can hear it in her voice and see it in her approach. And, as always, she has the knack for making good songs even better. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! 😇
Hello again, Adrianna, and thank you very much for another great reaction to Angelina🙂 I'm happy to hear that you're feeling better from that cold or flu you have. Tis the season for that shite now I guess😉 I heard you described her as hypnotic. You have no clue just HOW many reactors have used the same term. It's something we all feel to a certain degree. It's as if time doesn't exist when she sings. 3 minutes later she's finished and you go "WHAT????" Angelina was 12 years old in this one, and like with almost all the other performances she did with Ivan here or Egil back home in Norway, she's not totally familiar with the lyrics. They were never planned ahead and improvised on the spot. You can see her turn her head to the left all the time to read the lyrics off of her Ipad or laptop. You can see the left side of her face illuminated by the glow from the screen. Imagine singing with this level of emotion and conviction, all the while reading the lyrics. And the technicality with which she sings is ALWAYS on point, just like it's 2nd nature to her. And I guess it IS. We have no other choice but to bow down to this force of nature.
Lastly I would like to thank you for adding yet another reason for looking forward to the Sundays😊 As always, much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
What a beautiful comment! Thank you for this! Thank fully feeling much better now 😊 I appreciate the love and I’m so glad that you have something to look forward to on a Sunday! Sending love from the U.K.! ❤️❤️

Unreal isn't she! There's no one like her and it's definitely no one with her skill set. Since she was 9 years old I challenge anyone to find another person on this planet with the range of skills that this young girl has. You'll find some that have some of the skills that are more developed because they're much older but no one with the range of skills and diversity that she has. Now it's 16 years old she's unmatched and that statement is a matter fact only stated only stated to point out how insane it is that someone this young can be so complete in the world of music. It's difficult to grasp but it is here right in front of us.
Thank you for your heartfelt reaction.
I hope you recover soon from the flu.
Watching and listening to you, I couldn’t help but think of young Angelina when she had a fever and was ill with the “chickenpox”. She said that would not stop her from doing what she loves and that is music and singing.
Here is a video of Angelina when she was ill. It is so inspiring to watch.

You’re most welcome! Thank you so much for your kindness and watching this video! ❤️ I am thankfully feeling much better now 😊
Finally! I've been wondering when you would react to this cover.👍
"I'm still holding out for you" , will not be a disappointment!
Oh by the way, 🥰 all your reactions!
❤️❤️
😎🇺🇲👍💯🌟
This performance is so raw and intimate. Which is harder than being in front of a microphone and speakers. So another beautiful example of her talent and charm.
You should definitely watch this interview with the guitarist Ivan Mendez: ua-cam.com/video/2uQyt2T3ayE/v-deo.html
When it comes to Angelina there are about 100 of her songs in my top 3!😂
I find it funny how a lot of reactors have said the same thing about Ivan, they just wouldn't be able to concentrate enough to play an instrument next to MJ.
Please enable the English subtitles option. I don't know English very well and I understand you better when I can look at the inscriptions. Your reaction to Angelina's talent is great :)
Thank you. Greetings from Poland:)
Thank you so much! Will work on this xx
Greetings from the U.K. ❤️❤️
For me her awesomeness is never sacrificing the meaning and power of a song for personal glamor or glory.
I felt that and I’d agree with that also 🙏🏽👏🏾
If you watch Ivan (guitarist) he shows the same expressions on his face as you do when listening to her sing - he is just as into it! Great partnership, great performance, and great reaction!
crazy how a kid can convey the emotion of this song about looking back at the past and aging
Isn’t it just! 😅😅😅
Thanks for all reactions about AJ. Just subscribed.
Your most welcome! Welcome to the family! 😊❤️
My first exposure to Angelina, this song came across my FB news feed for some reason five or six years ago. I've listened to her almost daily ever since. Always enjoy listening to your reactions as well.
Without a doubt, Angelina is destined for greatness!! My concern for her would be to avoid any evil people who are in the industry.
Please listen to Katrina Velarde,
" Go the Distance, " " Broken Vow, " " Reflection, " and a duet with Jessica Villarubin, " I Surrender."
She has a 5 octave range, incredible range, and power for a small person.
Blessings to you!! 🙏
I really enjoyed your reactions, especially went you discovered another Angelina Jordan Video. Hope you recover soon looking forward to your next Angelina video. By the way, the answer to your question, "why do I feel emotional went I'm listening to Angelina sing"? A phenomenon called "The Angelina Effect"!
Elle a glissé dans mes oreilles pour me bouleverser le cœur.
This performance "heals" me...I could listen to her for years and I think this is one of my favorites...her emotion makes me want to cry...I love Adele but never felt like that when listening to her...ivan mendes is magical with her...just beautiful ♥️
Incroyable...
You should react to,Angelina singing I'm still holding out for you at 12 yrs old 💜
There's no way you could play guitar for her and not stop playing to just listen to her...lol
I honestly don't care if you have covid or not! I love you regardless. So tired of the division.
😂😂😂😂 Love that! Thank you so much! 🙏🏽❤️
Sending love your way too Chris! 😊
Angelina would call Ivan to come over and do some videos and Ivan would say "Angelina I don't know half those songs" and Angelina would say " don't worry about that" and Ivan said he would learn the song and they would only do 1 or 2 takes and post it on UA-cam and yes Ivan said he would get lost in her voice.
It is not only AJ singing but also the lyrics that make me teary every time I hear this version .Aj that young girl here is telling a story shared by many. hope you are doing well
ANGELINA has been influenced/ inspired by jazz from a very early age , but she is far removed from just 1 genre she is able to perform most genre with distinction we should not pigeon hole her , I suspect her album will be a mixture of genre just as her you tube back catalogue is .
You are a wonderful...
Thank you! So are you! ❤️
Angelina does Amy Winehouse Back to Black and Valerie and Wii you still love me tomorrow when she was 9 and 10.
Oh yeah don' play the favorite game cause you're going to lose hehehehehehe
yeah ajs on a higer level here, n emotes so seemingly effortlessly, kinda dnt know wat to say. can c ur absorbed 2, sweet reactin ( again)
som en hører angelina synger her så er ikke musikk kun høye toner som dimash og morisette.
