How does Angelina Jordan generate such emotion?
What does she do with her voice?
These are only 2 of life's mysteries.
Thanks for your great reaction 😀...
And you're insight to SE HOW AMAZING ANGELINA TRULY TALENT IS....
Thank you for all the time you spend comparing ANGELINA towards others singer's.... its make me happy and guaranteed everyone who viewed your channel here at you tube...
Angelina Jordan from my home town Oslo capital city in Norway 🇳🇴
She moves me with her voice and personality , the only time I have had this emotion/feelings was when my sons birth and when I became a Christian ✝️..
I am a huge fan and so proud, that she is from Norway 🇳🇴......
I Love Angelina
That's why the same song keeps us in a emotional release...emtions run very deep in us all...they will never go away but we can relive them with love forgiveness and understanding and in the end with wisdom....she is an Angel hence her name...a beautiful wonderment that never stops in enriching all who her her voice
There is no single thing that Angelina does that marks her out from the rest, there are hundreds of things that she does but she she does them all properly and frequently together. The miracle that is Angelina is that she holds it all in her head and it doesn't overwhelm her. She doesn't get stressed, she realaxes as she practices her art and we relax with her. She reaches into our hearts through the honesty of her own. And then there is her voice....
I try to explain to myself how she makes me feel and I find myself reaching for spiritual/mystical language as my only medium. This is hard for an ardent atheist (for the last thirty years) to admit.
In the end it doesn't matter how or why. What matters is that she does and hopefully will do for many years. Angelina improves all our lives as a resuly.
Thankyou Angelina
Thank you for your Videos
Angelina's melisma at the finish of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is the show-stopper.
Thank you for posting this I can't believe he missed it
She always make us FEEL the song. Straight into our hearts, call it Angelina Pectoris.
Thank you Alan , Always love your insight of Angelina's gift
I've been following angel Angelina for a long time, I've also watched MANY reactions, first time reaction but I must say YOU ARE THE BEST, IN SO FAR AS LOOKING INTO how such a bundle of joy, a child prodigy and the delving into her grandmother and family, trying see or touch the surface of her amazing raw talent, influence of family, etc.
THANK YOU
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Thanks Alan for another interesting and thoughtful addition to the Angelina discussion. You know, the older I get the more I believe that intelligence is definitely in the wrinkles.
LOL - with all my crows feet and laugh lines I could be a genius 🤪
"Intelligence is in the wrinkles." Well said.
Lol
Alan
I love your reviews, comments and opinions. I appreciate your hard work. Thank you for sharing.
Gracias Alan, por tu excelente trabajo ❤️❤️❤️🇲🇽❤️❤️❤️Angelina❤️❤️❤️
Amazing!!! I loved it
Hear voice is very therapeutic as it releases pent up emotions that have been buried for ever in use very healing to listen to her....she has a beautiful gift of love forgiveness and release of our past and present hidden emotions...
She is also spectacular at slides...
It's art and artistry. We all have it in us. Some people like Angelina and Alan just express it in a way that goes beyond what most of us can and for that I am grateful.
Fascinating, thanks again Alan.
Thanks again Alan for your research and humble assertions. Your analysis has enlightened... Steve
Best walnut analogy video on UA-cam. Alan, this, your commentary/analysis video on the great AJ is the best yet. Great video!
Alan, great stuff. By the way, there's a video out there with Angelina singing SMILE as a back drop song to a Norwegian documentary. It's not perfect because it's compromised with talking in the video but there is enough of Angelina to well, that brings me to my real point. Alan, I just did some quick math and have figured that in the last 100 years there have been 100 different and prominent singers (vocalists) on the scene in each of those 100 years. That totals up to 100x100= 10,000 singers. We are talking great singers. And, as marvelous as they are, one stands above all the rest when we speak about singing with emotion and making listeners cry, sometimes uncontrollably. The singer's name is Angelina Jordan. Alan, I can understand why you made this video because you have hinted several times before that you would like to offer your opinion about what Angelina is all about using logic trying to explain the phenomenal feeling she brings to us when she sings.
I throw out logic and believe there is something inside her that combines her musical abilities with a loving and caring heart and a soulful beauty that makes it happen. It is so unique and impossible to duplicate. And, we should always give credit to her family to love her and guide her and let her fulfill her dream. Throw in everything else, too. Her humbleness, her smile, her eyes, the way she carries herself. Her confidence, how smart she is. And, we spoke about this before Alan, she has come to understand what she does to us and she is so very happy to exchange love with us at every opportunity. She is not challenged by such a role. That is who she is and we should be so happy and thankful that we can enjoy her because she brings to us a warmth and a caring, loving tenderness which helps get us through these trying times.
I don't know of another singer who can make you cry even if you hear her sing the same song over 1,000 times. Our heart and our soul can immediately identify Angelina and when that happens, it's bliss.
I agree. Btw are you the person who posted, if you want to hear a song listen to anyone, but, if you want to feel a song, listen to Angelina Jordan?
PS even though I agree, I still love to hear Alan Papier’s enlightening and lovely posts.
@@janenorris6113 Hi, Jane! Right off the bat, Alan is spectacular and I'm so glad he is devoting a lot of his time (and, life!) to keeping us close to Angelina. No, I didn't make that comment but I agree with it 100%! "Happy Valentine's Day, my dear!!!!!!!!"
@@RobertDeMartin
Thank you. Happy days to you as well, Valentine’s Day, and all the days that follow. 👍
Thank you so much for really explaining why we feel Angelina like we do. I was only able to express it once on a reply as "Angelina is sending us her love as she sings and we feel it." For the greatest understanding everyone should have a chance to read this post from you.
@@annettes4480 Very kind words, Annette! She is so, so special If you haven't already, make sure you listen to that version of Smile she does singing background music in a documentary. "Happy Valentine's Day", my dear!
that sure was a Goodin Doc. Great new ideas to fiddle with. Thank you Alan.
The point is not technical. The point is perceiving the potential in the music
In Sweden we call it "wailing"
Thanks, and great job, Alan!
Always very interesting and formative, your analyzes, thanks Alan 😊
I just listened to Ceci Dover’s reaction to Angelina singing “All I Ask” by Adele. Ceci is a master at explaining some of what Angelina does. I think you might enjoy her reaction.
Also, you’re brilliant and I love your comparison/analysis work you do with Angelina.
She is drawing from her Akashic record of past life experiences which triggers an Akashic response in all who hear her voice. From the emtional experiences we all have had..
Mr. Papier, thank you for doing such a GREAT job. It's so nice to see a reactor, that actually knows what he's reacting to. Please keep up the good work, sir. May your God/Gods be with you and your family for all eternity. I for one will continue to look forward to your next video.
Everyone please be proud of your wrinkles! Use them for the good of your family and the human race.
Hi Alan, I just want to say I really appreciate your gift as a music appreciator and critic. I especially like how you cover Angelina‘s music history and the little stories that you share that are kind of behind the scenes. I would love To see her do the song “Mercy” by Duffy. I imagine she could go in a number of different directions either making it jazzier with a slower pace or even with that haunting quality she’s done and other songs. Perhaps you have the ability to suggest it to her! I am a fan of your labors of love! Deana in Raleigh North Carolina. ❤️❤️❤️🎹🎤
Alan, i recognized your Van Jones clip. Never expected to hear that in an Angelina Jordan reaction.
We have to find get the material from where we can find it. And I like casting a wide net
I think the most perfect melisma she has done is in her AGT-C performance off "Bohemian Rhapsody" where she sings "shivers done my spine". It actually feels like the notes are tumbling over every vertebra. I really enjoy all your insights into Angelina. I would love to be a fly on the wall if you ever get a chance to meet her in person.
Hopefully Grandmother's camera will be there so all the the rest of us can share a shareable moment with our world.
That piece of dried vegetation behind you resembles the brain too! You've made a connection for me, or maybe completed a connection I've been on the road to, between artistic expression and the universe. When you first suggested art by mother nature, I objected because to me, art implies human intention. But considering the possibility of a universal consciousness, as I've been doing, allows and even obviates this connection. So while objecting, I looked up from my computer and out the window to a beautiful tree (I love trees) and made, or completed, the connection. Thank you!
I Totally agree with @Daniel Woo, that Yellow Brick Road ending would have to be one of , if not her most impressive examples (and it perfectly completes a total display package of her subtle, sophisticated skills’ management throughout that song ).
And, as a total aside , on behalf of the Australian 🐨 Koala , I would just like to share that I am NOT a 🐻Bear , I’m an Australian Marsupial, and simply called a Koala. But I do share something in common with Angelina : we are definitely Unique ❤️
Alan, I really enjoy your perspective of Angelina. Your videos compare her to the superstars she is covering and how in most cases she does it better than the original. First of all I am completely overwhelmed by her incredible talent and beautiful voices. I say voices because she has always demonstrated many singing styles from her version of I'd rather go blind with a completely fried voice to a million years ago with the most beautiful sweet almost crying style. However my favorite song she covers is "smile". It's her most beautiful voice ever. I just wish I could find the original without the talk over of the documentary it is being used for. I am old enough to remember the Beatles on Ed Sullivan back in the early 60's so it's good to know others like yourself and Po and also Chris Walker who are completely gobsmacked by this incredible talent.
Yes, Po and I are so gobsmacked that we're doing a podcast 'How AJ makes us a better person'. Soon to be public

@@thealanpapier I am 64 years old and have been a musician and a lover of incredible music and voices since 1965. No one has ever had the effect on me like Angelina. I look forward to your podcast.
@@TheKevincasey2 Ditto
@@thealanpapier Alan, that is so true. She has affected me on so many levels personally.
allan . answer is easy. she is reincarnation of past greatest artest at least 5 of them.
Outstanding as always Alan, although I have to admit, I was hoping for the mother of all AJ runs, at the end of What is Life.
And the ending to Yellow Brick Road
@@garykelley8564 And the ending of Feelin' Good
Runs - When a singer starts off at a very high note and drops quickly through the scale down to a very low note in the space of a second or two
Angelina's bending notes reminds me very much of Frank Sinatra, especially in his later years.
Great job, Alan! Okay, I'm not a vocal coach, or even a musician either and I know next to nothing about music theory.
That said, I've listened to a number of vocal coaches and teachers who do know a bit about the subject. Runs can add a lot to a song, but they can also be overused. I think a couple of your superstars tend to do that regularly.
Typically, a run is used to convey emotion that is not fully expressed by the lyrics alone. It has to be chosen and positioned wisely. There are artists that use runs just to show off. If you use a run on a word that doesn't have emotional importance, you've wasted it and conveyed nothing.
Angelina doesn't do that. She chooses her runs with great care and a lot of subtlety. The only time I thought she overdid it was one spot in "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road," but that's just my personal opinion, probably shared by almost no one. ;-)
I heard one reactor describe one of her runs as dancing all around the note and I though it was an apt description.
As great as Angelina's performances were on AGT-C, I think the number and lengths of runs in them were specific to the occasion in order to demonstrate her talents and mastery in an abbreviated amount of time. I marvel at her skills and what she accomplished on that show but, having been a fan for a couple of years prior to that, it seemed obvious to me that she tailored her performances to that venue. Her adjustments to that environment were masterful.
Edit: After re-reading this comment, I have to apologize for my long-winded way of agreeing with your comment about "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road". 😊
@@ShanLiB Agree 💯
@@ShanLiB You hit the nail on the head. This was strictly for AGT considerations. Otherwise she would not have over embellished those notes.
I have comments about wrinkles in the brain.Inteligence has nothing to do with Angelina performance. Reason is product of the brain.What brain creates is craft. Art is the work of spirit.Thats why Angelina performance talk and wake up our sleepy spirits.Real art in our materialistic world almost get to the point of become extinct.People are different more materialistic than they were in time of Michelangelo, Mozart, Van Gog atc
Alan you have a great story telling voice.! Or kinda like a Teacher/Professor.!
Alan, great job👍
You completely missed Angelina's run at the end of yellow brick road
In the end of I put a spell on you she must be influenced by Middle Eastern music. You know where she uses her hand/index finger.to underscore her run. I have mentioned in a comment somewhere.
Sometimes simpler is better. Whitney Houston was a great singer but for poignancy, I prefer Dolly Parton's version of "I will always love you," despite its relative lack of melisma.
When you ate that walnut, which resembled a piece of the brain, all I could think
of was Hannibal Lecter in Silence Of The Lambs. Only difference was that he
cooked it in a frying pan while you consumed it raw. Will wait for you to do a
comparison between both of you so the audience can decide which appeared
more shocking.
Melisma - A group of more than five or six notes sung to a single syllable.
Thank you for your fantastic insights, Alan.
There actually IS a tool to show the melismas and sung notes graphically. It is an android app called Vocal Pitch Monitor :D
Very interesting video. Just a note FYI: koalas are not bears, they are just koalas.
Another excellent presentation Alan. Thanks for your unique takes on Angelina. This one had me recall another reactor who is a bit different in his reactions to Angelina. Dr Marc Reynolds is a voice and performance professional who has reviewed 6 or 7 of Angelina's performances. He really gets into the voice techniques at play as well as her performing (as opposed to singing) skills. If you are not familiar with him, I would recommend him highly. Here is a link to his reaction to her singing "Fly Me To the Moon" on The View. ua-cam.com/video/tLaa2-OvkY8/v-deo.html
Good comments Alan. I enjoy your videos. I've learned the word "melisma" through one of the first videos I saw about Angelina, made by another Angelina fan, Chris Walker. So if you only recently discovered the word you may not have seen this video. It's an amusing intro to her music, also showing reactions of listeners. You may like it:

So you talk too much never watching this channel again😡
Thank you for this inspirational piece, Alan 🙏 Keep up the good work (I know you will).
the difference between Angelina and everyone else is that they typically try to make the run stand out like a boast or a showboat act. Like hey everyone look what I can do. Angelina injects runs just as being an organic part of the music. She also varies the dynamics, color, and texture of her voice in the run. There is no comparison you can make that does anything but show Angelina's dominance. Runs are some peoples great achievement, and they are but a small bit of Angelina's music kit.
