The most intelligent and thought out "reaction" I have seen.. congratulations....i think Angelina is a very special talent and young lady so I have watched maybe 50 reactions... very few are constructive.. mostly just emotional
History was made. From now on those that are brave enough to do this song will try her version & will be compared to her.She took a classic rock opera & turned it into a stripped down bluesy/jazzy ballad. This song is now hers.
The reaction by the public to AJ's version of Bohemian Rhapsody was paramount to an earthquake being felt around the world, this video has been viewed more that 150 million times. AJ's videos have been viewed over a billion times on UA-cam, and 3 billion times on FB. This does not count Instagram, or TikTok. We don't just have a STAR in AJ, we have a SUPPER NOVA.
Everyone mists the entrance of that song. But listen to those words and her tone. It was like the Wind.. Soft and delicate. Listen to the words of the first part.
I'm so glad you addressed the constricting contracts. Angelina's parents had similar offers (I've read) and turned them down repeatedly. I am so looking forward to seeing what this beautiful, gifted young lady does in her lifetime.
I agree with you 100%. Angelina is better than Hollywood! The fact that she is willing to take as fans is to our bennefit. She is shy and humble, but when Angelina sings she is a queen.She is prolific and born to sing. Manny people like her but manny like me love her. I've always liked jazz vocals, now I love them. A nice custom reaction. Thank you, OLD PETER U S A
Excellent comments, could not agree more... This was not an audition this was Angelina's coming out mini concert to the rest of the world that has not had the honor to witness her vocal artistry. She owns the stage the minute she steps on it. The bare footed princess of song has entered the building... Angelina's opening phrase just mesmerizers and masterfully commands everyone's full silence and awe of her vocal artistry. She has fulfilled her stated dream when she 6 years old of becoming a super star , however, she has now gone way beyond that and has now become a Jazz singing living legend barely starting her teenage years of life. Someone said recently, as you hear more and more of Angelina you cease to be surprised but are always amazed.
Beyond the a capella intro, pitch control, tone, phrasing, riffing and arrangement, there is one aspect of Angelina's performance that is easy to miss.When she sings " Nothing really matters " the first time at the end of piece, listen closely... she sings, " Noth- ING REAL-ly matters." The ING and REAL are 1/4 notes with a 1/4 rest between them!!! She has such control that she shortens the note to make the syllable stand out! Now, that's insane ability!
And already in the forth word, "Anywhere the wind blOWS". Like a sudden wind gust, with her airy voice. She often pays more attention to the words, the message, than the original artist did.
I agree that Angelina knows what is best for Angelina. She accomplished what she needed to with just this performance, which has gotten tons of attention.
Thanks!!! AGT had been trying to have Angelina appear since she won NGT. She finally agreed but wouldn't sign their contract without changes, so many think that's why she didn't win.
your reactions are so soulful and full of empathy, Valerie. And that is why i keep watching your reactions. also you clearly is very educated. :) well done. and needless to say as a norwegian i am soooo proud of this flower.
Lady, you are 100% correct about the benefits of NOT winning a talent show! On the money with this critique. That is why so many talented artist don't even want to showcase themselves by entering these shows. And many of the winners get disenchanted with management and fade away!
Valerie, infinite thanks for your wonderful reactions with Angelina, she is definitely the most exciting and natural singer I know, each interpretation of her is a journey that gives her listeners directly into her world. If you can, you also listen to her other two performances in AGTtC, always in her wonderful style that also comes out of that fake show and puts her out of Simon's games. They are absolutely exceptional re-readings, for the ability to transform famous songs into different and better songs, it is truly incredible!
Valerie, thank you for your insightful reaction to this Angelina Jordan performance. It is obvious that you are a true professional who understands the technical and artistic aspects of vocal music. Being a former music educator and an old-school jazzer, I hold Ella Fitzgerald as the gold standard for embellishments, riffs, runs, whatever you want to call them. She would not only emulate the improvisation of the great instrumentalists of her day, she created her own style that set her apart from everyone else. She always stayed within the changes of the music and never did too much or too little, just the right amount. So many of today's singers do "vocal gymnastics" without really understanding the musicality that is required to be artistic. Through training and sheer innate ability, Angelina "gets it" and we, her audience, are immensely fortunate to listen to her artistry. I like to think of her as the Barbra Streisand of the 21st century. Not because their voices are alike, but because Angelina will be as much or more of a superstar as Barbra was in her prime.
I'm so glad you reacted to this despite it being AGT and featuring Simon Cowell. Her delicate breathy intro to this song is my favorite AJ thing out of so many. 13 years old!
Valerie, I believe you have the most authentic "reaction" to the music of any of the "reviewers" on UA-cam. Your eyes dance with pleasure when beautiful passages massage your soul. A cacophony of moans, brow movements and facial nuance shows how deeply you are moved. It is a real enjoyment to observe.
Thank you for your reaction video, and for your insightful comments about AGT. I have heard others express similar reservations about her winning AGT. I agree that her popularity should explode now, and I personally hope that she does whatever is necessary in order to retain complete control over her own music. I cannot think of a young artist whose future work I have anticipated with as much interest and delight.
You make a lot of really great points and it really shows that you have been paying attention to Angelina's history and development. There are many who have the talent and can sing well but, Angelina is so much more than a singer. You can see that in the respect she gets from the musicians she works/collaborates with. It's also quite wonderful how she commands a stage with so little effort and that thousands of people will maintain complete silence at the appropriate times.
Congratulations.....beautiful reação !!! I've been a musician for 43 years. The first time I saw Angelina years ago, I immediately saw that there was a singer unlike anything I had ever seen. For many reasons .... 1 Angelina has a unique voice texture. 2 Angelina was born with something that many mature singers would like to have, but cannot ... the emotion that she can convey when she sings. 3 Angelina is very young, but her behavior is that of a real lady. 4 Her image is very pleasant and moves everyone. Summing up... There are many words to define Angelina ... But in my humble opinion ... it only takes a single word to define Angelina Jordan ... GENIUS !!!
Thank you for your reaction. I am always interested in hearing your opinion and analysis. Angelina is the driving force behind all her decisions with the support of he family. AS you might be aware, she turned down many lucrative contracts with several recording labels as well as Disney. After winning NORWAY GOT TALENT, she did not participate in any other award shows and even declined an invitation to last season of AGT THE CHAMPIONS. So why now? Angelina has been working on a new album of all original songs to be released soon. By participating in this year's AGT THE CHAMPIONS' she is getting lots of free publicity and exposure to millions of potential new fans and a head start to promoting her new album. AS for her performance she again showed how intelligent she is. Many performers who covered this song failed because they wanted to be Freddie. By starting A CAPPELLA she focused everyone's attention on her unique beautiful voice rather than the original song. A masterful arrangement but still respecting the original artist. She has won regardless of the final results. AGT taking advantage of Angelina! No way. She is outsmarting them. Way to go young lady.
David Touma Her new album is Probably the reason They have remowed her performance from both AGT and Talent Recap on UA-cam. Simon would’nt promote an artist he wont make mony off. Way to go Angelina. Your talent is way better than Simon’s record lable. Can’t wait for her new album to be released. Love to you all, in the spirit of Angelina. From A Norwegian FAN.
@@kennethvidarpettersen183 I am aware of that and totally agree with you. Also leaks from "reliable sources" she is not in the finals top 5. If that is true, it's a rigged show. she is already the winner to her millions of fans. More than 400 million views on UA-cam and more than 1 billion on Facebook and that is even before AGT. I rest my case.
Usually I can't stand these reaction videos. This lady is an exception ! She really nails it in so many ways , including her advice about Angelina being in charge of her career and going her own way .
Hi, she is a genius I cannot believe how she rearranged the song into her own style of singing, it's just incredible like you said she doesn't have to win she just exposed her to the world of her beautiful voice, I am 67 but I am excited for her! Thank you for your beautiful reaction!❗💜 She is 14 now.
Thank you for a great reaction. I think you are so right. I don’t think she will be manipulated. Her uncle is looking out. They have til now said no to about 90%, including Disney. She is doing it herself, including correcting musicians. She want what she wants. I love that about her.
I whole heartedly agree with you on your assessment of this performance. And I'm glad to know you are a fan too. Here's to hoping she becomes all she wants to be and NOTHING ELSE. She is such a blessing .
Thank you so much for your reaction & analysis of Angelina. I've been waiting for this one since you are my favorite reactor, but I was beginning to think you weren't going to do it. I'm so proud of her performance. I feel like she is a family member, since I've literally seen her grow up on youtube. She is a once in a lifetime artist. Her gift to the world is her ability to take these classic iconic songs & rearrange them into her jazzy style for a new generation. Of course her originals are amazing as well & I am anxiously awaiting her next album with more originals.
I had to "hold my nose" while doing it, lol. I just don't like reality TV shows for so many reasons. But I truly love Angelina and her fanbase so it's my gift to you all! :)
@@VocalSplendorStudios I really appreciate it as I respect your opinion & enjoy your reactions. This is my first time watching AGT & it's only because Angelina is on it. Can't wait for her next performance in Feb. Anyone know when?
You always say the best stuff when it comes to Angelina. Thank you for sharing what you know about these talent shows, and Simon. These are things I have known (suspected) all along, but it's good to hear it from someone that has lived it. One thing you said that sets you apart from some of the other vocal coaches that have huge followings, "I don't have what she has". There are some that would never admit that ;) I really like that you get how special this girl is, and have a way of explaining it to us that doesn't sound dismissive. I look forward to many more Angelina reactions from you!!
Rusty. Have one person that is talking samething about you, the name Mag wumps (last comment), at the video: ua-cam.com/video/rFWs2Z_RZ3Y/v-deo.html. Not good thinks. Look that.
Thank you thank you thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!! Agreed about her still being a winner! She’ll be a legend in her own right. ❤️❤️❤️ Yes, please react to her in the finals. I value your opinion.
Angelina mor is very loving and protective, not a typical stage mom. Angelina is wonderful. by the way, I sing just like her (barefoot) but shower acoustics can't perform miracles. she is the miracle.
Great reaction. I agree completely. Everything seems to be right on track for her. I think her prime objective is already accomplished and I don't expect her to win just because of the way the show is set up. Looking forward now to her new music coming out soon. thank you.
I'm wating for this. Its so nice to see your reaction about Angelina. Its very special. We need to give suport to Angelina for her not have to enter in this kind of industry. She really need of us.
Thanks for your super reaction to Angelina's performance. That's the thing about AGT. It expands the definition of "talent" to the broadest extent. So we have a competition that includes, well, you name it. And the emphasis is on "Vegas" act. So we see a lot of circus acts. I'm not saying that's a bad thing. But I don't think it bodes well for singers; even those as fantastic as Angelina and Marcelito. Especially with the format on the Champions version, which is all taped (one week in October) and no one can vote. So I predict a circus act will win this show. And I don't see a singer in the top five (I'm just guessing here). But I also don't see that as a bad thing for Angelina. She already had many fans worldwide. And the exposure and recognition from this show (and that INCREDIBLE performance), can only help her career. Especially since she is getting ready to release her new album of all originals (I think). What we all wish for Angelina is a long and successful career, and in some ways, she is just beginning that journey. Thanks again, Valerie, for embracing Angelina's artistry and career. Wishing you the very best. Billy J
@@BlackWolfSpirit I would put my money on V Unbeatable. The are the best acrobatic/circus act I have ever seen on this show. And I've watched every season since the show began. I was very surprised when they didn't win the last time they were on AGT. They are that good. And I'm guessing they are even better now. And they would make a great Vegas act. At any rate, your guessing dancers, I'm guessing acrobats, and again, that doesn't bode well for singers. Wishing you the very best, Spirit Wolf.
@@BlackWolfSpirit Yawn! Sorry, that's me trying desperately to stay awake during yet another boring dance act.But,I will make one exception.Point your browser to ua-cam.com/video/69A5LIBwXt4/v-deo.html
@@alberttenfoot Can't remember what season they were on, but I saw them audition. They just blew me away, and I'm not easily impressed with dance routines; especially kid's routines. But these two were simply fantastic.
@@wajj1842 Auditions for the 2019 AGT. Although they were overwhelmingly voted as the Wild Card performers, they did not proceed past that dance. This one of Issy is a masterpiece, too. She was 9 years old: ua-cam.com/video/zfeixE_tgbo/v-deo.html and also both Issy and Easton in a competition: :ua-cam.com/video/WheMijQsUC8/v-deo.html Both videos are well worth watching.
Standing O for that reaction! Thank you. I'm also dubious about the show, but Angelina has a long record of turning audiences into fans. She certainly grabbed everyone in that audience. By all accounts, she also grabbed most of the wider audience watching on TV and online afterwards. That's a huge boost to her fan base. So happy about that. :) AGT: We've got around 8 million viewers tonight. Angelina: Hold my tea.
Utter perfection. Both of you 😁 no reactor has ever figured Angelina out as clearly as you..she is her own person and imo will remain so..she's in it for the art, the creativity..she's not in it for the money...take care..
great reaction... I like the fact that Howie and the other judge are looking at each other saying "WOW!" and Heidi is also saying "WOW!", all at the same time.
Wow I loved your know how on this beautiful soul singing for us. You hit it right on the head.... She is simply amazing.. I am always speechless and soaring with wonderful happy vibrations every single time and i listen to her over and over.....
As allways your comments are just briljant. And Angelina blows my mind. Her cover is fantastic and I think it's as good as the original. Queen members think the same on twitter. She does this with a big heart and passion witch hit you right inside feeling great. Would love if you do a reaction to Angelinas own song "Shield". She wrote it when she was 12 years old.
Angelina already has an independent record label. Her own. She only wants the American Exposure. The fan base. Of course she would like to win AGT, but she doesn't need to win. She already won NGT. She doesn't need to win this. She is just looking for the exposure. Angelina is a strong independent soul who will always maintain her own individuality. You can always expect the unexpected with her and 💯 percent authenticity. She won my heart years ago and have followed her ever since. She is winning hearts everywhere with her music and just by being her authentic self.💞🎤🎤
*I love your honest and humble reaction. I hate Vocal reactionary who say something like, but, she missed that, and, or this... Like they are somehow more gifted than Angelina? I don't think so. Angelina is an extreme perfectionist and a Vocal coach can learn a thing or two from her, not the other way around.* *You have yourself a new Sub here.*
I read a quote from Angelina’s uncle stating they held out for a long time until she could appear on AGT with no contract obligations after the competition.
Thanks for your warning and the pitfalls to be aware in the music industry. They are surly there in this monetary driven world. I hope Angelina will rise above this. I, like you, am happy with her getting the most important thing out there. That would be her mystic charm and incredible talent. I believe winning AGT would probably include compromise of both creativity and character. Angelina will be OK---That I am sure of---She is blessed.
What artist with an album about to drop wouldn't want 8 million new sets of eyes and ears to see them on TV , with millions more than their usual watch them on UA-cam, just prior? Anyone? She doesn't need them, but it's big exposure boost.
If it's possible, my eyelashes get goosebumps, whenever I hear this young girl sing & Freddie Mercury would be so proud 💕 She sews her own clothes, is instrumental in the arrangements of the cover songs she sings, & has a huge heart, going barefoot in remembrance of the girl she met once, who had no shoes, What can I say, ***WOW*** this girl is going places 💕 Side note: A lot of people say how much she sounds like Amy Winehouse, Billie Holiday, & Nora Jones, & she does, however, for me, I get a beautiful renaissance feeling of the late great, Bessie Smith 💕💕💕 GREAT REACTION !!!
We have been waiting for you Girl. Angelina is all the greats returned in one living soul. The look Angelina gave the judges at the end of her performance 3:41 ++ is saying I am here to help you, not the other way around. Unlike JE, GV, CRS, and others Angelina is not out for a lift up.
Being on AGT Champions was an opportunity for AJ to audition for big American recording companies she and her team were not interested in Simon's corrupt companies ; and in the end she signed a huge one with Republic Records
I love that you love Angelina. It`s so great listening to your revews of her singing. Angelina is right as she sings "- my time has come" (forget about the "to late" part!). I think she has picked the very right time for this performance. It is time for her to advance one more level for her life with music. I will not use the word career for her, because I think music and singing will be Angelinas life, no matter what. She may even have a career of some other kind aside of her singing ( she could do greate work for someone like UNICEF I think), but her life will be music and song. How can it not be? I put down some links for you this time. The first one is Angelina`s original song called "Oslo", like her home town in Norway. It has been said that she wrote the lyrics (and perheps even the melody) as she was flying back to Norway after a stay in the US. So it`s about longing for home. The other two are videos from an rehearsel session she has with a jazz group whom she has done some conserts with. Angelina has uploaded quite a few of these rehearsel videos, and they are very interesting to whatch, as we get some glimpts of her working with the musicians, and her singing. ua-cam.com/video/R2HkKh_Cp8I/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/G9LvCgA7gHE/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/KvLsJ9ndy78/v-deo.html Maybe you already know, but if you search for "angelina jordan rehearsels" on YT, you`ll get a long long list of such videos, starting from her 6 year old trainings at recording studios. :-) Hope to hear more from you soon.
Great reaction video and calling out Cowell on the contract. Angelina parents are holding off getting a label until she is older. One of the finest new gen singers on earth right now.
A great reaction from a pro, a pro that also see her artistic person, not just a singer or vocalist, Angelina has all the instrument a musicians need for creating in her own voice and intellect imo. Lets hope she will be able to stay free from the industri
I have a friend who was a sound engineer on NZ idol....he was told to make some sound better or worse than the others to influence voting. I only watch the first audition rounds, but haven't for the last two years! I love watching the jaw drop of the one audience member.....😊
Kevin Neal Hi, I have started following you here on your reactions on some artists. I am not musically inclined, can't even carry a good tune with my voice but I know what I like and have my favorite artists I listen to. I have followed Angelina over the years and agree with you 100 percent . Many of Angelina's family are musicians and artists and I feel that is where she gets her individuality. I would never want her to change, I always want her to stay her own person because to me that is what makes her stand out. Her three own songs are amazing and many of her cover songs are as good or better than the originals.
Kevin, her grandma is an artist (Painter) who loves jazz and used to take Angelina to a jazz record store in Oslo. Her mom has said that neither she nor her husband have any music background. Angelina did it on her own with lots of support from her family.
Best singer ever. Her voice is from another planet.
She sings with her whole body I adore her

Usually I can't stand these reaction videos. This lady is an exception ! She really nails it in so many ways , including her advice about Angelina being in charge of her career and going her own way .
I have the feeling that Angelina will run her own show and not be manipulated--At least that is my hope
Grace VanderWaal runs her own show, so can Angelina. Both wise beyond their years with great family and parental support.
Thank you. Best reaction video to this performance of the hundreds I've watched.
Hi, she is a genius I cannot believe how she rearranged the song into her own style of singing, it's just incredible like you said she doesn't have to win she just exposed her to the world of her beautiful voice, I am 67 but I am excited for her! Thank you for your beautiful reaction!❗💜 She is 14 now.
Thank you for a great reaction. I think you are so right. I don’t think she will be manipulated. Her uncle is looking out. They have til now said no to about 90%, including Disney. She is doing it herself, including correcting musicians. She want what she wants. I love that about her.
I agree with you 100% on every aspect of or reaction. Thank you for reacting to Angelina.
I totally agree with you on winning reality shows, I hope Angelina stay independent to keep her creativity untouched.
I whole heartedly agree with you on your assessment of this performance. And I'm glad to know you are a fan too.
Here's to hoping she becomes all she wants to be and NOTHING ELSE.
She is such a blessing .
She does all the arrangements on these songs her self and she makes her own wardrobe 😍
Angelina is marvelous she is the
Music and more!!!
Thank you so much for your reaction & analysis of Angelina. I've been waiting for this one since you are my favorite reactor, but I was beginning to think you weren't going to do it. I'm so proud of her performance. I feel like she is a family member, since I've literally seen her grow up on youtube. She is a once in a lifetime artist. Her gift to the world is her ability to take these classic iconic songs & rearrange them into her jazzy style for a new generation. Of course her originals are amazing as well & I am anxiously awaiting her next album with more originals.
I had to "hold my nose" while doing it, lol. I just don't like reality TV shows for so many reasons. But I truly love Angelina and her fanbase so it's my gift to you all! :)
@@VocalSplendorStudios I really appreciate it as I respect your opinion & enjoy your reactions. This is my first time watching AGT & it's only because Angelina is on it. Can't wait for her next performance in Feb. Anyone know when?
Great reaction, but I was even more impressed with the speech you made after the performance.
You always say the best stuff when it comes to Angelina. Thank you for sharing what you know about these talent shows, and Simon. These are things I have known (suspected) all along, but it's good to hear it from someone that has lived it. One thing you said that sets you apart from some of the other vocal coaches that have huge followings, "I don't have what she has". There are some that would never admit that ;) I really like that you get how special this girl is, and have a way of explaining it to us that doesn't sound dismissive. I look forward to many more Angelina reactions from you!!
Hear hear!
Rusty. Have one person that is talking samething about you, the name Mag wumps (last comment), at the video: ua-cam.com/video/rFWs2Z_RZ3Y/v-deo.html. Not good thinks. Look that.
@@arqbioe like as not, I responded to this vile person and let him know that his vile judgements are not appreciated.
@@arqbioe
I spent sometime to make sure that dude got banned.
Hope it stuck
Completely agree --
Angelina seems so humble, too.
Thank you thank you thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agreed about her still being a winner! She’ll be a legend in her own right. ❤️❤️❤️
Yes, please react to her in the finals. I value your opinion.
Thank you for your honest opinion. It's true when you said that you hope she doesn't win and which she didn't. She's simply awesome.
I was waiting for your reaction to this!!! Thank you so much. Excellent 👍🏼🤗 Angelina is so talented.💕
Angelina mor is very loving and protective, not a typical stage mom. Angelina is wonderful. by the way, I sing just like her (barefoot) but shower acoustics can't perform miracles. she is the miracle.
Great reaction. I agree completely. Everything seems to be right on track for her. I think her prime objective is already accomplished and I don't expect her to win just because of the way the show is set up. Looking forward now to her new music coming out soon. thank you.
She's a real deal!
I'm wating for this. Its so nice to see your reaction about Angelina. Its very special. We need to give suport to Angelina for her not have to enter in this kind of industry. She really need of us.
Thanks for your super reaction to Angelina's performance. That's the thing about AGT. It expands the definition of "talent" to the broadest extent. So we have a competition that includes, well, you name it. And the emphasis is on "Vegas" act. So we see a lot of circus acts. I'm not saying that's a bad thing. But I don't think it bodes well for singers; even those as fantastic as Angelina and Marcelito. Especially with the format on the Champions version, which is all taped (one week in October) and no one can vote. So I predict a circus act will win this show. And I don't see a singer in the top five (I'm just guessing here). But I also don't see that as a bad thing for Angelina. She already had many fans worldwide. And the exposure and recognition from this show (and that INCREDIBLE performance), can only help her career. Especially since she is getting ready to release her new album of all originals (I think). What we all wish for Angelina is a long and successful career, and in some ways, she is just beginning that journey. Thanks again, Valerie, for embracing Angelina's artistry and career. Wishing you the very best. Billy J
@@BlackWolfSpirit I would put my money on V Unbeatable. The are the best acrobatic/circus act I have ever seen on this show. And I've watched every season since the show began. I was very surprised when they didn't win the last time they were on AGT. They are that good. And I'm guessing they are even better now. And they would make a great Vegas act. At any rate, your guessing dancers, I'm guessing acrobats, and again, that doesn't bode well for singers. Wishing you the very best, Spirit Wolf.
@@BlackWolfSpirit Yawn! Sorry, that's me trying desperately to stay awake during yet another boring dance act.But,I will make one exception.Point your browser to ua-cam.com/video/69A5LIBwXt4/v-deo.html
@@alberttenfoot Can't remember what season they were on, but I saw them audition. They just blew me away, and I'm not easily impressed with dance routines; especially kid's routines. But these two were simply fantastic.
@@wajj1842 Auditions for the 2019 AGT. Although they were overwhelmingly voted as the Wild Card performers, they did not proceed past that dance.
This one of Issy is a masterpiece, too. She was 9 years old: ua-cam.com/video/zfeixE_tgbo/v-deo.html and also both Issy and Easton in a competition: :ua-cam.com/video/WheMijQsUC8/v-deo.html Both videos are well worth watching.
Standing O for that reaction! Thank you. I'm also dubious about the show, but Angelina has a long record of turning audiences into fans. She certainly grabbed everyone in that audience. By all accounts, she also grabbed most of the wider audience watching on TV and online afterwards. That's a huge boost to her fan base. So happy about that. :)
AGT: We've got around 8 million viewers tonight.
Angelina: Hold my tea.
Utter perfection. Both of you 😁 no reactor has ever figured Angelina out as clearly as you..she is her own person and imo will remain so..she's in it for the art, the creativity..she's not in it for the money...take care..
great reaction... I like the fact that Howie and the other judge are looking at each other saying "WOW!" and Heidi is also saying "WOW!", all at the same time.
I Could not agree with you more. Love her artistry and loved what you had to say.
Truly said!
You always look like a proud parent while reacting to her 😁
thanks for saying at the end about the contracts and control over individuality.
Wow I loved your know how on this beautiful soul singing for us. You hit it right on the head.... She is simply amazing.. I am always speechless and soaring with wonderful happy vibrations every single time and i listen to her over and over.....
As allways your comments are just briljant. And Angelina blows my mind. Her cover is fantastic and I think it's as good as the original. Queen members think the same on twitter. She does this with a big heart and passion witch hit you right inside feeling great.
Would love if you do a reaction to Angelinas own song "Shield". She wrote it when she was 12 years old.
Loved that you loved it. You are someone I trust.
She’s better than nobody when she sings she touch your soul.
Angelina already has an independent record label. Her own. She only wants the American Exposure. The fan base. Of course she would like to win AGT, but she doesn't need to win. She already won NGT. She doesn't need to win this. She is just looking for the exposure. Angelina is a strong independent soul who will always maintain her own individuality. You can always expect the unexpected with her and 💯 percent authenticity. She won my heart years ago and have followed her ever since. She is winning hearts everywhere with her music and just by being her authentic self.💞🎤🎤
Amen!
*I love your honest and humble reaction. I hate Vocal reactionary who say something like, but, she missed that, and, or this... Like they are somehow more gifted than Angelina? I don't think so. Angelina is an extreme perfectionist and a Vocal coach can learn a thing or two from her, not the other way around.* *You have yourself a new Sub here.*
Love your reactions and am a Huge Angie fan keep them up
I read a quote from Angelina’s uncle stating they held out for a long time until she could appear on AGT with no contract obligations after the competition.
Thank you for reacting to this of Angelina Jordan. She is just an amazing young singer and she did a very beautiful version of this song.
Thanks for your warning and the pitfalls to be aware in the music industry. They are surly there in this monetary driven world. I hope Angelina will rise above this. I, like you, am happy with her getting the most important thing out there. That would be her mystic charm and incredible talent. I believe winning AGT would probably include compromise of both creativity and character. Angelina will be OK---That I am sure of---She is blessed.
Agree with you 100% percent. Not only about Angelina's amazing talent but also about these talent shows crap.She really doesn't need them. :)
What artist with an album about to drop wouldn't want 8 million new sets of eyes and ears to see them on TV , with millions more than their usual watch them on UA-cam, just prior? Anyone? She doesn't need them, but it's big exposure boost.
If it's possible, my eyelashes get goosebumps, whenever I hear this young girl sing & Freddie Mercury would be so proud 💕 She sews her own clothes, is instrumental in the arrangements of the cover songs she sings, & has a huge heart, going barefoot in remembrance of the girl she met once, who had no shoes, What can I say, ***WOW*** this girl is going places 💕 Side note: A lot of people say how much she sounds like Amy Winehouse, Billie Holiday, & Nora Jones, & she does, however, for me, I get a beautiful renaissance feeling of the late great, Bessie Smith 💕💕💕 GREAT REACTION !!!
Very emotionally moving song sung by her.
We have been waiting for you Girl. Angelina is all the greats returned in one living soul. The look Angelina gave the judges at the end of her performance 3:41 ++ is saying I am here to help you, not the other way around. Unlike JE, GV, CRS, and others Angelina is not out for a lift up.
Being on AGT Champions was an opportunity for AJ to audition for big American recording companies she and her team were not interested in Simon's corrupt companies ;
and in the end she signed a huge one with Republic Records
A star is born !
I totally agree with your considerations about Angelina ! I always love your reactions by the way!
I love that you love Angelina. It`s so great listening to your revews of her singing.
Angelina is right as she sings "- my time has come" (forget about the "to late" part!). I think she has picked the very right time for this performance. It is time for her to advance one more level for her life with music. I will not use the word career for her, because I think music and singing will be Angelinas life, no matter what. She may even have a career of some other kind aside of her singing ( she could do greate work for someone like UNICEF I think), but her life will be music and song. How can it not be? I put down some links for you this time. The first one is Angelina`s original song called "Oslo", like her home town in Norway. It has been said that she wrote the lyrics (and perheps even the melody) as she was flying back to Norway after a stay in the US. So it`s about longing for home. The other two are videos from an rehearsel session she has with a jazz group whom she has done some conserts with. Angelina has uploaded quite a few of these rehearsel videos, and they are very interesting to whatch, as we get some glimpts of her working with the musicians, and her singing.

Tremendous insight into Angelina Jordan and reality talent shows as a whole. Nice job.
Great job reacting! Your comments were right on! She doesn't have to win to be a big star. She's already there.
Great reaction video and calling out Cowell on the contract. Angelina parents are holding off getting a label until she is older. One of the finest new gen singers on earth right now.
Great review! The one I've been waiting for. Thx so much.
A great reaction from a pro, a pro that also see her artistic person, not just a singer or vocalist, Angelina has all the instrument a musicians need for creating in her own voice and intellect imo. Lets hope she will be able to stay free from the industri
I have a friend who was a sound engineer on NZ idol....he was told to make some sound better or worse than the others to influence voting. I only watch the first audition rounds, but haven't for the last two years!
I love watching the jaw drop of the one audience member.....😊

Hi, I have started following you here on your reactions on some artists. I am not musically inclined, can't even carry a good tune with my voice but I know what I like and have my favorite artists I listen to. I have followed Angelina over the years and agree with you 100 percent . Many of Angelina's family are musicians and artists and I feel that is where she gets her individuality. I would never want her to change, I always want her to stay her own person because to me that is what makes her stand out. Her three own songs are amazing and many of her cover songs are as good or better than the originals.
Kevin, her grandma is an artist (Painter) who loves jazz and used to take Angelina to a jazz record store in Oslo. Her mom has said that neither she nor her husband have any music background. Angelina did it on her own with lots of support from her family.
Valerie you must see rehearsal of im a fool to want you with his grand mother
She first auditioned on norsk talenter, age seven singing "Gloomy Sunday " by Billie Halliday. If you haven't seen it look it up.
I believe her parents n grandparent know exactly what contract managers can do pro n con. She will thrive as she wills herself to do.
Agree with you completely.She has the exposure further stardom is inevitable.
