ua-cam.com/video/yTjzhPSVguc/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared Come on guys! Go over to the original and let’s get the views up! One reason Toby might have agreed to this going up was to gauge the response and decide how much he was going to promote the official single. I want to see James’s version reach at least 25k in a week!
Remember what Angelina said in an interview in August 2023 with Norway TV2: Jordan is busy and when asked if she has a boyfriend, or if it is best to be single, she answers bluntly - Boys only give me trouble, I have to focus on my career first, she concludes.
I’ve said the crazy uncles out here, Wait until it happens. I’d say like a formula one driver, golfer, Actor type? Like most, these times of just her, mother, grandma, sister, she’ll look back as the best of times, no matter how famous she gets, bc it always changes.
Just this song alone would be worth the price of admission of a whole concert. The power of her voice is incredible, and powerful lyrics to go with it. There's no going back: Angelina Jordan Astar is here...to stay
Chris this not just singing at another level, this is singing in outer space. If this song doesn't hit the charts when it comes out, I don't know what will.
Even though I believe this song should be a hit or even a #1 hit, it doesn't matter if it can't be. This song will always have a very special place in our hearts and history will one day write about those who hindered it. For me, 'Song of the Year' is this song and I don't care what the Grammy committee thinks. We all love and care her so much and we will always protect her no matter the cost. Thank you so much for your support to Angelina 🙏
I agree, one of her best performances ever. Also the style of the song pleases me very much. Toby and Angelina obviously have also a very good personal chemistry!!
A perfect example how Angelina continues to improve. Vocal coaches have taught us that female voices continue to mature into their mid 20's. The future is as bright as a supernova, for Angelina.
Live stream was exciting. Gotcha beat though Chris, well over 100 times for me now! if this is any indication of their album…OMG❗️ soon after the June 20th, announcement. I had my ticket. About a 5 Hour Dr. for me. I’ve been to this club five or six times. 😇🌺
Wonderful post reaction, Chris. Angelina is so fantastically raw and aggressive with her unique voice, raspy and deep, performing fantastic and beautiful tonal scales. Angelina's musical eclecticism transcends the ordinary and she always manages to give a unique and passionate vision of her songs, whatever genre they are. She truly has a musical knowledge and analytical ability that is beyond my understanding. 💛🧡❤
I really love this song because it uses all of Angelina's voice. She just lets it all out. And the accompaniments, just beautiful, the production outstanding. So much to look forward to this year. Thanks Chris.
This own song from angelina is a absolutly masterpiece, what a voice ,is amazing, thats definitly one of the favorites for me and i hope this will go to a number one song, worldwide. And this arrengment with violine, cello and piano is soooooooo gooooooooood, angelina is love 👑♥️🌹💫
If I ever become a multi millionaire, I want to spend the time as a groupie for Angelina. This song has huge potential. She is making original music in almost her own exclusive genre. Genius.
LOL!!! I have kinda become an Angelina groupie! I was at Portsmouth, and both Vegas concerts, and I’ll be at the Vibrato! (Spending my kid’s inheritance on travel to see Angelina!)
Great review Chris to a stunning performance. I listened to IIWAB and Bad Valentine in real time on the Hotel Cafe Livestream and was floored. I feel like the combination of the two performances - both sung for the first time - may someday be viewed as a major turning point in her (already brilliant, young) career, and, possibly even, legendary.
I commented on this song on James Thiels post - here is my take - I have watched and listened to this performance several times - and the thought that came to my mind was that the amazing vocal skills displayed on Bad Valentine took me back to the skills Angelina displayed at age 10 in her recording of I'm Still Holding Out For You - which could have been a number one hit had it been released. For those not familiar - here is that recording: ua-cam.com/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/v-deo.html
Yes that is an awesome vocal as well. I have high hopes that “Bad Valentine” will be the hit “Holding Out” should have been. Great that the very savvy Toby Gad has every reason in the world to promote this to the max..
As great as this song and her vocals are the key will be getting the song or any of her songs heard. There are probably countless songs over the years that could have been big hits but for whatever reason they did not get the promotion or exposure needed. There are also many factors, besides the song itself, that go into making a song a hit. All in all I think promotion is one of the first steps.
Nice review Chris! Man, this song I just can't stop listening to. THIS is the types of songs I feel she can just dominate in. A mix of R&B, Soul, and with a touch of Jazz, no one can touch her when she sings like this! If this is the types of songs she will be putting out in the near future, this collaboration is going to be very interesting and enjoyable. When you talk about the meaning of the lyrics, I do wonder where the idea of the song came from....Angelina or Toby? Not sure if you saw my question to Toby about what song did he listen to that convinced him to want to work Angelina? I asked it on his music video release of the lyric video for the Artist Version of the song If I Were A Boy. His response was, "I saw the Got Talent performance and knew I had to work with her." I'm guessing he was referring to Bohemian Rhapsody, however, I did send him follow up question, but am still waiting if he will respond back about which song....
@@32f8ks Wouldn't be the first time that lyrics are wrong on a new song. Because of the jazzy/blues nature of many of her songs, it is sometimes difficult to get clear and crisp enunciation.
See if I've got this right......So, Angelina becomes a Super Star, finally; after a decade, singing about being a Heartless Diva who's "mean" to guys to judge their authenticity.....AND WITH HER BLOODY SHOES ON. I feel so encouraged she's hooked up with a Big Time collaborator.
Btw, I agree with your interpretation of the lyrics about authenticity, Chris. I also agree: one THE BEST performances I've heard from Our Barefoot Empress ever.
Thanks for this review, Chris. Of all her originals, Bad Valentine has by far the most vocal fry, and AJ's ability to sustain vibrato through vocal fry and runs is unparalleled.
Cheers to whoever mixed the sound to put her voice far ahead of the music. That's the money focus. It's always about her voice. This performance is one that emphasises her vocal free form agility. I'd love to see her stretch this and other songs into 6-10 minute free flowing jam sessions. Her vocal/musical growth continues as we all knew it would.
I can't stop listening to this, and really look forward to the official release, studio and maybe music video. I might be the only one, but to me the lyrics are Angelina channeling her boyfriend's confession that he's a bad attitude guy. Something like If I Were a Boy plays with the persona of the girl and the boy, flipping the script in the middle. To me, the lyrics are about a girl dating a bad guy. Just me? Maybe.
Great review Chris, I share your enthusiasm for this song, it must be 500 times listening for me by now, it's my number 1 hit song. 💖📀I also spent my afternoon at the beach on Sunday, It felt like we had 50 kt winds coming on to the shore, the waves were treacherous. 🌊
Great reaction. About Angelina portraying a bad character, that's what she did in her cover of I Put a Spell on You. Unlike other singers who covered this song, Angelina showed the person as crazy and dangerous.
Thanks for your review Chris. Toby’s concert is called “Piano Diaries Live” so it may just be a presentation of the songs from the album. I would have to think that Angelina will be one of the performers especially since she lives in LA. It would be another great opportunity for her.
Remember what the blonde femal judge said at the NGT something like "There are lot of technical very good singers out there but you... from Universe.."
Well done Chris. I agree with everything you said. Could not have said it better. It's the grit in her voice especially in the onset of many phrases but really thoughout the song and the outset of many. I'm calling it here. Angelina's 1st Grammy. Maybe Song of the Year. But I think the breakout potential is enormous and very good for bringing in younger fans and increasing her fanbase exponentially. Probably not the first and certainly not the last but I believe it is a turning point Performance. It may very well replace my favorite of All but I've only listened to it a few dozen times so we'll have to see. LOL🤣♥👣😇 Thanks Chris. Be talking to you soon in the streams I'm sure. Keep up the good work my friend.😊♥👣
It will be up to Toby to push this song, and make it go viral, Republic Records is apparently not involved at all as usual. he has the clout, and probably the finances it takes to go on radio, and talk shows like he did for Victoria Justice, another one of his female singers in the past, (Kelly Clarkson show)
Thank you for this video and your analysis. I agree: it's maybe one of her best vocal live performances. It deserves to be watched and listened many times.
Hi Chris, hope you're well and enjoying Hawaii. This is a masterpiece and as always, I appreciate your comments and insight. This is the genre then Angelina should be singing and the song is tailored to her vocal skills. It also highlights her various skills all in one song. It definitely has passion and grit as you say, and I will add attitude! For me, I hear influences of Amy Winehouse and Adele in this performance. We all pray that this gets the views and promotion that it deserves. Thanks for all and peace out.
How big Angie fan I've been watching you for years and I know you're a true die-hard Angelina fan and I appreciate that and I love it cuz I am too at 75 years old
If she doesn’t break through with this song then there’s something wrong with the music industry. Not relevant I know but I’d love Angie to do Great Gig In The Sky with Floyd one day!
This simply a masterclass in vocals, passion, emotion...exactly how this song should be sung...hope they do not change this with the studio version when that comes out. Thanks Chris.
Chris, I have to agree with you. This was one of the best performances ever. Actually by anyone ever. Also, this was your best reaction to date. Every single thing you mentioned I was with you on. You should be proud. This is an incredible reaction and thanks for doing what you’re doing.
I am surprised that I haven’t heard anyone analyze the lyrics from the perspective of Angelina stepping into the shoes and singing the voice of the person who hurt her; that she was the kind person who the bad Valentine couldn’t treat right.
Her roots are here. Toby Gad "gets" her. Love the simple orchestration--strings and keyboard. Her beautifully ornamented notes. Her passion. Her heart on her sleeve. How it applies to all relationships, not just the eros of this era. The wonderful use of end rhyme and interior rhyme. She sings "valentine" differently each time. The crowd must have turned to jelly. 💜 Greetings from Grandma Ellen
Well said! From what I’ve seen of you on Facebook I feel we are kindred spirits. As for the song, the more I listen the more I think this is a major, major milestone for Angelina. So much power, passion, skill, grit, emotion; just off the charts.
Angelina and Toby bring out the absolute best in each other.Toby has Angelina's trust,this brings even more emotion and confidence out and it's pure magic.He is obviously being totally honest when he raves about her talent and the originals they are producing together.Toby's promo on his social media is relentless and consistent and this is somethin AJ can learn from.If Toby can get AJ on tv singing Bad Valentine then it's a huge gamechanger.Thanks Chris,great review,always thoughful and spoton.

Great reaction to an amazing song. Thank you Chris for the analysis of the song. I had chills in every second of the song. I agree that this is one of the best performances of an original song done by Angelina. Her creativity doesn't seem to have an end...We love her so much. Thank for all your efforts to promote her genius.
this is the best video of this performance I have watched and I have watched it quite a few times now, and also the subtitles are really good as well but they are not needed, if thats down to you well done
Chris its like when she sang Valarie,it changes on ever word She loves to do that. Your never going to find anything wrong Shed have to sing sick and maybe then
My take on the lyrics are probably a bit different from what most people are getting from the meaning. For me they are saying that this woman is telling this Valentine of hers that she's no good that he is too good for her and she's warning him to stay away from her because she will only cause him more pain and she acknowledges that he would be justified in "breathing fire" as the lyrics say and yet he continues to be kind to her. Sorry to those that don't like the "he, him, his" pronouns, but those are the facts.
I see where you could be right,but either way it could also be about someone real clise to her and that persons relationship.That person could act all nice and supportive while doing there iwn thing only giving the woman some time when they have nothing else to do like when theres no trips out if town ,etc.Just my opinion and it doesnt have to be a real person
Yeah I think this was the first original that was not so positive and when she sings the lyric the word heart & head, I don’t hear it , they disappears
I hear “I told you I’d mess up your head.” Others hear “heart.” There are some other places where people hear very different things; we’ll just have to see the official lyrics!
@@BigAngieFan808 PS. Just my opinion. About the autenthicity. I'm with you on that. There's a sequency of verses that supports your theory. You should have been breathing fire and show me you're on fire all desire lost on your world. Just my opinion, again.👍👏❤️👋

Come on guys! Go over to the original and let’s get the views up! One reason Toby might have agreed to this going up was to gauge the response and decide how much he was going to promote the official single. I want to see James’s version reach at least 25k in a week!
that is not going to happen in a week but maybe in a month
Remember what Angelina said in an interview in August 2023 with Norway TV2: Jordan is busy and when asked if she has a boyfriend, or if it is best to be single, she answers bluntly - Boys only give me trouble, I have to focus on my career first, she concludes.
THANK GOODNESS!!!
I’ve said the crazy uncles out here,
Wait until it happens.
I’d say like a formula one driver, golfer, Actor type?
Like most, these times of just her, mother, grandma, sister, she’ll look back as the best of times, no matter how famous she gets, bc it always changes.
She just showcased the audience her vocal abilities effortlessly! The best story teller of this generation period! 🇳🇴🇺🇸
Just this song alone would be worth the price of admission of a whole concert. The power of her voice is incredible, and powerful lyrics to go with it. There's no going back: Angelina Jordan Astar is here...to stay
Greatest master class singer .on earth. .a true talented class act....stellar
Chris this not just singing at another level, this is singing in outer space. If this song doesn't hit the charts when it comes out, I don't know what will.
We are all very biased too in a good way. It depends so much on how it gets promoted. She is wonderful but most people haven’t heard of her.
Unfortunately what generally hits the charts is a lot of junk IMO....hope Toby puts his weight behind this.
@@CarlD70I’m convinced he will.
Even though I believe this song should be a hit or even a #1 hit, it doesn't matter if it can't be. This song will always have a very special place in our hearts and history will one day write about those who hindered it. For me, 'Song of the Year' is this song and I don't care what the Grammy committee thinks. We all love and care her so much and we will always protect her no matter the cost. Thank you so much for your support to Angelina 🙏

I agree, one of her best performances ever. Also the style of the song pleases me very much. Toby and Angelina obviously have also a very good personal chemistry!!
You said it: how can anyone sing better than this !!!
What power her voice has now at age 18. A young Janis Joplin!
Me too but I’m closer to a hundred
A perfect example how Angelina continues to improve. Vocal coaches have taught us that female voices continue to mature into their mid 20's. The future is as bright as a supernova, for Angelina.
Great reaction to a great song, being sung by Angelina, the best singer to come along in the past 50 years!
yup! at LEAST 50 times!! My jaw dropped! No words just... WOW! Maybe just one more... WHOA!! can't wait for the Official AJ drop!!
What a powerful voice. Wow.
The crowd loves her.

Thanks so much for the reaction to our angel Angelina..she is simply the best…👍👏
Okay, now I've put in the better thumbnail and I've edited the description to provide more detail and links that were missing.
I think that Angelina is singing this song as the guy in the relationship. She sings... "I thought I told you I would mess up girl."
I’ve been waiting for another person to say this.
Yeah she might be singing that, but it could equally be "I thought I told you I'm a messed up girl". Hard to be sure.
@@32f8ks Wouldn't be the first time that lyrics are wrong on a new song. Because of the jazzy/blues nature of many of her songs, it is sometimes difficult to get clear and crisp enunciation.
@@edschultheis9537 Yes I agree! Anyway we'll quite possibly get an official version of the lyrics at some stage...
Please check PO Talks, reactor, the lyrics are displayed.Its " I told you...I will mess up your heart " not mess up girl
A other super song very gritty she has so nany elements to her style never boring with sams stuff thats what se love ❤
See if I've got this right......So, Angelina becomes a Super Star, finally; after a decade, singing about being a Heartless Diva who's "mean" to guys to judge their authenticity.....AND WITH HER BLOODY SHOES ON. I feel so encouraged she's hooked up with a Big Time collaborator.

I am surprised that I haven’t heard anyone analyze the lyrics from the perspective of Angelina stepping into the shoes and singing the voice of the person who hurt her; that she was the kind person who the bad Valentine couldn’t treat right.
That’s my interpretation.
A very jazzy song from a magnificent artist! Thank you for sharing your reaction. I appreciate it very much.
I still believe she says mess up your heart because the following phrase she says "" I told you right from the start"" but great lyric video
Her roots are here. Toby Gad "gets" her. Love the simple orchestration--strings and keyboard. Her beautifully ornamented notes. Her passion. Her heart on her sleeve. How it applies to all relationships, not just the eros of this era. The wonderful use of end rhyme and interior rhyme. She sings "valentine" differently each time. The crowd must have turned to jelly. 💜 Greetings from Grandma Ellen
Well said! From what I’ve seen of you on Facebook I feel we are kindred spirits. As for the song, the more I listen the more I think this is a major, major milestone for Angelina. So much power, passion, skill, grit, emotion; just off the charts.
@@BigAngieFan808 , amen, amen, amen.
Angelina and Toby bring out the absolute best in each other.Toby has Angelina's trust,this brings even more emotion and confidence out and it's pure magic.He is obviously being totally honest when he raves about her talent and the originals they are producing together.Toby's promo on his social media is relentless and consistent and this is somethin AJ can learn from.If Toby can get AJ on tv singing Bad Valentine then it's a huge gamechanger.Thanks Chris,great review,always thoughful and spoton.
Fantastic😮
That was awesome Chris, thanks! I couldn't agree more. She's an amazing singer. 👏👏👏
I'm so astounded enter voice in the way she sounds
You are spot on regarding the text.

The counterpart to Angelina! The two best singers 😲 😲 and people of this generation in our current world 🌍 ! That’s “FACT”! The two singers 😲 who always tell the story of the song when they sing 😲 😲! I'm so proud 🤗 of Angelina for the last 2 years since I started following Angelina musically 🎶👩😲🎙 Great Girl👍👌👏! Angelina has become a member of the family to me, like my granddaughter 😊!
Thank you a thousand times for the support, my fellow angel 😇 from Angelina!! our jazz queen👸 and angel 😇!! on her two You Tube channels 🙏 She deserves it a thousand times over 😀!
Great reaction to an amazing song. Thank you Chris for the analysis of the song. I had chills in every second of the song. I agree that this is one of the best performances of an original song done by Angelina. Her creativity doesn't seem to have an end...We love her so much. Thank for all your efforts to promote her genius.
Nice review Chris. This collab with Toby Gad is so exciting. I cannot wait to hear the magic that comes out of their partnership.
this is the best video of this performance I have watched and I have watched it quite a few times now, and also the subtitles are really good as well but they are not needed, if thats down to you well done
Chris, I’ll be at the Vibrato, hoping Angelina will be there, of course. But, even she isn’t, it will be a treat to see Toby!
This gig, as a whole. Was her statement. «l’ll be my own Guy! (If I were a Boy) Hold my shoes, I’m going on to a different and peculiar orbit»
great job-------------thanks so much
Chris its like when she sang Valarie,it changes on ever word She loves to do that. Your never going to find anything wrong Shed have to sing sick and maybe then
😀😀😀😀😀
Starting at 11:20, I expect to see plaster falling off the ceiling in that place.
Thanks Chris. I'm Zen 😊❤
Spectacular!
My take on the lyrics are probably a bit different from what most people are getting from the meaning. For me they are saying that this woman is telling this Valentine of hers that she's no good that he is too good for her and she's warning him to stay away from her because she will only cause him more pain and she acknowledges that he would be justified in "breathing fire" as the lyrics say and yet he continues to be kind to her. Sorry to those that don't like the "he, him, his" pronouns, but those are the facts.
I’ve always said as well, honest feedback to AJ is the best.
-what’s the video going to look like for this? Hmmm? 🖤
I see where you could be right,but either way it could also be about someone real clise to her and that persons relationship.That person could act all nice and supportive while doing there iwn thing only giving the woman some time when they have nothing else to do like when theres no trips out if town ,etc.Just my opinion and it doesnt have to be a real person
Why did Angelina have SHOES ON..........
Yeah I think this was the first original that was not so positive and when she sings the lyric the word heart & head, I don’t hear it , they disappears
A STAIRWAY TO A POSSIBLE EXISTENCE OF THE PARANORMAL OR ANGELINA JORDAN . . .
Great Review Chris 🥲❤️😇Love Angelina🥲❤️😇
Hi Chris. I think there's a mistake in the subtitled lyrics. I'm sure She says : I thought I told you I'm a messed up girl. Am I right?👍👏❤️👋
I hear “I told you I’d mess up your head.” Others hear “heart.” There are some other places where people hear very different things; we’ll just have to see the official lyrics!
@@BigAngieFan808 PS. Just my opinion. About the autenthicity. I'm with you on that. There's a sequency of verses that supports your theory.
You should have been breathing fire and show me you're on fire all desire lost on your world. Just my opinion, again.👍👏❤️👋
