This rendition is definitely a mixture of Billie Holiday & Amy Winehouse. This vocal area is where Jordan really shines. BTW- She refuses to wear shoes when performing in order to bring awareness to all the children around the world who have no shoes.
I had to listen to it more than once, but now I love it more and more every time I hear it. The youngster truly is a musical prodigy and Jazz is in good hands for the immediate future.
I understand your reaction completely. And here’s a prediction-now that you’ve heard this very different take on Billie Jean, you will love it more every time you hear it. When it starts, as you said, you’re looking for the beat and you get surprised by her phrasing, but she always returns to parts where you’re hearing and feeling the original. When she hits that jazzy chorus of “Billie Jean is not my lover…”, you know she’s paying tribute to Michael, and you can relax because you get what she’s doing. And it’s beautiful.
It is unbelievable what Angelina can do with just her voice and a piano or guitar accompanying!! Perfect jazzy masterpiece for a huge pop hit!! Go Angie!!!!
With Angelina you really have to listen with new ears.Sounds like that's what you were trying to do.Expect the unexpected and listen multiple times.Thanks for your reaction.
Every time I listen to this jazzy version the better it sounds. To take a fast, pop song, that everyone danced to and slow it down and Jazz it up, was genius. I actually listened to the words for the first time.
It's hard to translate an iconic song like Billie Jean into a laid back, smokey, jazz lounge version and just love it right away. It's just so different. But when Angie sings a cover, it becomes a completely different song. So, you can't really compare it to Billie Jean by Michael Jackson. It's a completely different song. When you can get yourself into that sort of mindset, you'll find you will come to love this song that just happens to have the same name as a Michael Jackson song. Just remember, It's not even the same song! Loved your reaction!!!
The coolest version I have ever heard of this famous song. She does the same thing as her version of Bohemian rhapsody, rearrange the original to a new Angelina style. She is not only a special voice, she is a genius Arranger. Now you are able to understand the story behind the song without moving your body, you are moving your mind. It's a fun to listen it again and again and find out the details she is doing
She does what any good jazz musician does, she deconstructs and then reassembles. And she did it to an iconic pop song..l know she will get a lot flack from idiots, but who cares, she's a GENIUS without an EGO. When she is in the Red Room and says" Take my strong ADVICEEEE", my heart stopped..I could live in her voice.
I liked this. This was smooth and her vocals were excellent. Just as I was getting into the groove of the song Jamel has to pause to talk about getting into the groove of the song.
Its not the first song from MJ she covered, far from it. "I'll be there" at age 8 and recently "Heal the world" which felt like an unreal throughback in time to me, so emotional.
Jamel thanks for coming back to Angelina’s world and reacting to the BAREFOOT ANGEL with this amazing performance. She always respects the original song, but renders her own colorful rendition with originality. The legend Michael Jackson (RIP) would have appreciated this rendition of his iconic song. The reason that Angelina is a brave and exceptional music prodigy and is supported by the most cultured Angels (Fans) in the entire world is expressed in the following poem by Robert Frost: Two roads diverged in a wood and I [ANGELINA], I [ANGELINA] took the one less traveled by [JAZZ/BLUES/SOUL], And that has made all the difference. IMO, Angelina single-handedly will restore interest in Jazz all over the world; also, most likely, she will include other music genres in her repertoire.
💗 ***Only Angelina Jordan, can take an amazing iconic song, like Billie Jean, from a phenomenal artist, like Michael Jackson & make it her own*** 💗 ***She truly is a gift, with the rare ability, to reinvent masterpieces, that wake us up, & pay attention, to every note, every word, & every emotion*** 💗
I had the same problem. I was tuned in to the original MJ version. Once I got that out of my head, I could appreciate Angelina's version. The more I hear it, the better it gets. You can clearly hear the lyrics and the emotion she conveys. I love the jazzy style.
When she sings jazz style she sounds similar to Amy Winehouse, with Christine Aguilera style runs, and the music has a Dave Brubeck vibe and it's fresh and very cool. MJ would've loved it.
When I first heard her do Mamas and Papas "California Dreaming" I thought it was good but I'd never get used to it. Now I think it's at least the equal of the original. Just different. Give it another dozen or so hearings and see if it doesn't grow on you. Back when Joni Mitchell was putting out new albums, I never liked a new album as well as the earlier ones until I'd played it several times. Eventually, I realized that she was moving on to something else, absolutely as creative, but I didn't want her to move on quite so fast. My brain needed time to catch up. The same thing now sometimes happens with Angelina, but this time I know I'll soon love it.
This is probably my favorite performance by Miss Angelina. I love that 'jazzy-Angelina' style, what can I say. Then, on top of it she sings a great song like this. Hat's off. I'm all in. ... Stay cool, Jam(aeiou)l.
Jamel thank you for reacting to Angelina Jordan again. I love your hoodie and it's message as it fits perfectly with Angelina's message. Would be awesome if you showed her some love by requesting your viewers to subscribe to her official UA-cam channels. There are so many viewers who have no idea how important it is to subscribe to your channel along with the channel(s) for the artist you react to. Record companies pay attention to all the data on UA-cam and if all reactors made a point to show support to the artist, they just may ease up on their copyright claims.
Jamal, sir, something to smile, here is a story: One night, in her dream, Angelina was sitting together with Michael Jackson on his cloud. MJ asks: Darling after singing "heal the world" how about taking on my "Billie Jean"? Ella Fitzgerald passing by, grins and says "but make it jazzy". MJ looks thoughtful and says "Hey great idea, don´t rewrite it, tell it like a story". AJ smiles "Wow great idea, Thanks Michael and Ella".
Yep. Amy Winehouse & Billie Holiday. You should hear her sing Holiday on Norway's Talent show when she was 4 or 5 years old; it will knock your socks off.
Jamal, sir, AJ knows the Jackson family, Omer Bhatti, the protege of Michael Jackson, is her friend since NGT 2014. MJs children see Omer as their older brother. You can bet on it, AJ asked them, and I presume showed them the video, before releasing it. After "Heal the world" live on TV, for the whole nation to see and hear, how can they not be thankful to her. She brings back the songs of great artists. Stay safe and sound. German greetings.
Loved your reaction and comments Jamal. Lets face it, anyone and there are 100's can do a "cover" of the song and try to be like Michael. Only this super creative young music genius would attempt to make a jazz/blues masterpiece from the Iconic MJ song. Enjoyed your reaction and keeping an open mind. Pretty sure the many many MJ fans think this is way out of the park but if you really listen she is paying homage to MJ and recreating a new song . Have to love music I guess to appreciate what she has done here.
I loved 🥰 it the first time I heard it I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve listened to it I think it was a master piece and the video was a brilliant brilliant touch Love 💕 from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴👼👸🏻💕👏👏👏🥰👋.
I see the rooms as a reflection of what AJ does to all music she touches...She recolors everything. We recognize the rooms, but they are no longer the same, slightly alien first, but soon we fit right in and are very comfortable in our new space. AJ magic really, that other singers will be measured against, no doubt. We have the privilege to watch her march towards diva-dom in real time.
My second favorite of the new crop of young ladies. Thanks for doing this song. I’ve been holding out for one of the best reactors to share my first listen with. You got me. And I really like what she did with this song. Hopefully you’ll give a listen to Faouzia. Whereas Angelina is an upright base, in the best possible way, Faouzia is a much more brassy. Both ladies can sing dramatically and emotionally. Wishing them both all success.
I never heard of Faouzia before. Thanks for recommending her to us. You know what struck me immediately... singers who accompany themselves on the piano deliver vocal performances that are very different from those who just sing or play guitar. She puts me in mind of Alicia Keys & Norah Jones. Their performances give off a totally different vibe.
Hi jamel, in this song, jelly bean, he he! I hear 3 different persons. First, angi as the narrator, than billie's mischievous claims, finally Michael 's denials. Although there might be significance to the colours i think angi is having fun, setting this song apart from other format & influenced by her manager/ uncle who had a hand in the production.
Great song. Not sure what happened to the sound on you reaction, but there was definitely some weird noise in the song that wasn't there on the linked video. Just something to watch for when you edit. Maybe the audio level was too high, not sure what the issue was exactly.
won Norway got talent when she was 7. Was allways gonna be somebody. It's just about having the right people around her. Norway is not allways good at that. We have wasted some talents, but often the most talented, move. Like Rolf Løvland who wrote You Raise Me up (moved to Irland), or AHA who very early moved to the UK.
Reminds me a little of how Chris Cornell did a striped back version. I really do love her tone, she not afraid to play with her voice. Your voice is an instrument use it as such
Amazing voice, thanks...Jamel can you please revisit Morgan James now? "Oh Me Oh My" ( an Aretha Franklin cover). She will blow you away just like she did on the other songs you reacted to. It might be her best song. Thank you!
It sounds like she's having fun with the vocal perfomance, but it's not my cup of tea. I get it though - I used to not like country singing, but now I love it.
She has an amazing voice, however, MJ is the only that can do real justice to Billie Jean. Now, I think she'd knock out Joss Stones' Super Duper Love outta the water.
I listened to the whole thing, and I'm in the minority here, I know, but I didn't care for her voice. The Jazz arrangement was good, love things like that - Postmodern Jukebox got me hooked on this kind of stuff. Going to watch the Million Miles reaction, because I may be missing something. EDIT: I was missing something. Still not a fan of this performance, but the young lady can sing!
C Rabbit, she's beginning to do real jazz, and most people have been Pop desensitized..jazz is more complex, variant chord changes, back phrasing..l think she is slowly introducing this....she will do more experiments without regret...she is a gentle, humble genius..but don't kid yourself, she's strong and focused and will do just as she sees fit..I am a jazz lover, especially Bop.. so this to me is GENIUS. There are many examples of Artists not being understood or appreciated at first. Post Modern Jukebox is unique, but not really jazz. If interested, listen to Sarah Vaughn do " Lulaby of Birdland ". I suggested that because it's an example of how a jazz singer uses their voice as an instrument, and that is what Angelina is doing here. She has always referred to herself as a musician rather than a singer.
It's not pure jazz, she's doing a new genre JazzPop. Rearrange a famous pop song in her jazzy own style. It's full of wonderful details, maybe you like, when you hear it more again
@@hans-georgschroter7887 l agree that it is not pure jazz, but here she is starting to use real jazz structure, this is the closest she has come to it on arrangement of her own in a public forum. Up till now, everything she has done as " jazz" from this point has been, standards like Summertime or Fly me to the moon under her unique style, this is the strongest rearrangement up to this point, even in consideration of Bohemian Rhapsody. Even the visuals are more in keeping with jazz. IMO, she is a jazz musician singing something else. Of course she is also MUCH more than just this. JazzPop is used as a cultural bridge.

for another tribute to Michael you should listen to her rendition of Heal the World.
The way Angelina plays with her voice is out of this world!
It's not perfect, and that's what makes it perfect.
I had to listen to it more than once, but now I love it more and more every time I hear it. The youngster truly is a musical prodigy and Jazz is in good hands for the immediate future.

Yes.....you are the only one so far I have heard acknowledge the fact that she was fearsome enough to do this.
The music machine just did the unbelievable and it sounds it great
For me this is pure gold. AJ will be one of the greatest voices in music history. Besides that, I love your honesty and kindness.
Its not the first song from MJ she covered, far from it. "I'll be there" at age 8 and recently "Heal the world" which felt like an unreal throughback in time to me, so emotional.

You can hear the power of this young woman's voice behind every soft laid back smoky word. Simple WOW!
Thank you Jamel for another great reaction of Angelina…please don’t wait that long for the next one.
Great comments. Angelina is fearless and can seemingly "take over" nearly any song with her spectacular voice and and ability.
When I first heard her do Mamas and Papas "California Dreaming" I thought it was good but I'd never get used to it. Now I think it's at least the equal of the original. Just different. Give it another dozen or so hearings and see if it doesn't grow on you.

She's really talented. Makes me think of Amy Winehouse. I also like David Cook's live version on American Idol. It was so different too.
David Cook! One of my favorite American Idols ever! ❤
Jamal it boils down to this if you were not a big MJ fan you absolutely love this!!!
She's really good, she reminds me so much of Amy Winehouse the way that she sings. Thank Jamel. 👍🎶

Gonna watch it after this! Jazzy Good!
I have to say it took me a couple of times hearing this to love it . Now its whiskey sipping good jazz
Dang! She really did a nice job of that.
Check out her cover Heal the World by MJ. Outstanding
🙏🇳🇴 took me a few listenings, but the more you listen the more it grows

Fantastic!

@@dee_dee_place Good observation. Gaga and Carole King and Aretha Franklin come to mind too.
Ok, let's watch this one together. Didn't even know that this existed in the universe. Let's see....
Reminds me of the Billie Eilish's cover of this song she did on a Australian radio station show called Like a Version. But I prefer Angelina's.
This version really opens the story for me. I hear MJ in some of her vocalizations. 💜
Hi jamel, in this song, jelly bean, he he! I hear 3 different persons.
First, angi as the narrator, than billie's mischievous claims, finally Michael 's denials. Although there might be significance to the colours i think angi is having fun, setting this song apart from other format & influenced by her manager/ uncle who had a hand in the production.
Glad Someone could make a Michael Jackson song sound this good. I can finally enjoy one of his songs.
The more I listened to it the better and better it gets.
Excellent rendition. If you like covers of Billy Jean try the civil wars version.
Jamal! Jamel!! Jamul!!! She does an excellent version of Bohemian Rhapsody, as well.
I just noticed that you've already reacted to it. :)
You're right...the more you hear it the better it gets.
I wish Michael Jackson was still here to hear this child prodigy. One child prodigy to another. I think he would have definitely been a fan !
There’s a smouldering fire breaking out
Fuse is light...
☮️💜
wow.
Haven’t heard it in a while but it reminded me very much of the way Chris Cornel broke it down.
I've been waiting for this.
Great song. Not sure what happened to the sound on you reaction, but there was definitely some weird noise in the song that wasn't there on the linked video. Just something to watch for when you edit. Maybe the audio level was too high, not sure what the issue was exactly.
Brother Jamel, she sounds a lot like Amy Winehouse, sorta. Have a Blessed Day.
Is about time to jumped back into the Angelia rabbit hole!
Like always, the girl is never in a hurry.

I was partial to Sungha Jung's original effort to cover this song on finger style guitar.
👍❤❤
Different but I liked it..
Here her sing Suspicious minds Angelina Jordan tribute to Elvis Presley movie
I say it 1000 Times i love her,but i am realy happy that a Jung Women like her going in that great Jazz Drection!
Reminds me a little of how Chris Cornell did a striped back version. I really do love her tone, she not afraid to play with her voice. Your voice is an instrument use it as such
I like this much more than the original…. Although I tend to see them now as two side of the same coin. Billie Jean’s POV!
Amazing voice, thanks...Jamel can you please revisit Morgan James now? "Oh Me Oh My" ( an Aretha Franklin cover). She will blow you away just like she did on the other songs you reacted to. It might be her best song. Thank you!
Yep she is bad ass
I like the way she did it a lot . but of course the kid is not HER son. I wish she had picked another of his songs.
Well she’s done three of us songs so perhaps more in store? 🌺
@@johnroache32 I did not know that. Maybe I will take a listen sometime. Thanks for the information!
It sounds like she's having fun with the vocal perfomance, but it's not my cup of tea. I get it though - I used to not like country singing, but now I love it.
