Thank you for your reaction, Valerie! I'm Ivan Mendez and I accompanied Jordan in this song. I just released a new song today on my channel and I would love to hear your thoughts!
I have been playing guitar for 56 years and most of my professional life has been backing up singers... I would sell my soul at the crossroads to play guitar for her...
Angelina’s passionate and soulful rendition of this song was profoundly moving. Angelina’s talent is so mature beyond her years. The depth and sensitivity of her delivery is jaw dropping stunning. For such a young girl her singing takes my breath away. The emotion, textures and colors that she exudes in addition to her ability to bare her soul with every note makes me think that she has the unique ability to channel the greats that have passed on. She has genius level abilities.
Mam 65 lat, Angelina jest moją muzą od 2015 roku. Dziękuję Pani za szczerą krytykę fachowca od technicznej strony wokalizy. To dziecko jest persko-norweskim objawieniem i nowym oddechem dla starego bluesa i jazzu na całym świecie. Dziękuję!!!
Witam ze Szczecina, Panie Wojtku! Pięć lat temu myślałem, że tylko ja tego Anioła w Polsce odkryłem:) Cóż tu dużo pisać: cudowne, genialne dziecko, śpiewające jazz, teraz już 14-letnia panienka:) Jestem uzależniony, wielokrotnie słucham wszystkiego co jest w sieci i, będąc już tez po 60-tce, chciałbym mieć czas patrzeć na rozwój jej geniuszu. Serdecznie pozdrawiam Krzysztof
The 'bye' at the end makes me melt instantly. :) There are so many singers who practise and practise in order to sing a song as perfect as possible and it just doesn't come across. This young Norwegian girl, even at her young age, the feelings, rhythm, timing, English language, it is all so natural to her. Years ago when i saw her performance on 'Norway got talent' i was in complete awe!
She is on top of the world now, after that AGT performance, and the video gone viral. She took an iconic rock song and reshaped it into her quiet love ballad. She started a cappella, and grabbed the whole theatre from the first note. You could hear a hairpin drop. Just to have the guts. And the creativity. It's more than a song, it's a statement. She probably won't win, there is always a dog that can paint or something that will win the circus. But she has presented herself for the world, and that was the purpose. Billboard wrote about it in the article "The 13 most important things that happened in music this week". I guess a talent show never got that headline before :)
I hope she will sing the song "top of the world". She is the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen. I can find any explanation the love that I've found when I heard her singing.
I love these living room performances with Ivan. It's always amazing to hear that deep mature voice come out of this young girl after she gives her little smile, and then waves and says "bye bye!" at the end. Some of these are deeply emotional, like her tribute to her grandfather after he died.
There is a video of this guitarist being interviewed about being hired to gig with Angelina for these covers. It's a really neat background story of a few of her videos and about her family.
She doesn't just sing, she exudes with compelling emotion that her audience can feel in more ways than one, she seldom belts to get attention but simply sings with spell-binding feeling, almost hypnotic, you don't want the song to end...that's how i'm awed with her songs...
Her emotion when she sings is so sincere! I hope she’ll keep that, that people around her protect that, as she gets more and more famous in the music industry. She has got such beautiful soul!
Voice will never be copied no matter how long people are on the planet we are truly blessed to have her in our lifetime and the future lover's of music will be glad that she is recorded as much as she is
I think I'm listening to this for the maybe the 50th I just cannot get over her voice she is something else I really think that she sings this song better than Adele and it was Adele original I really enjoy your reactions you're so professional I've told you that before but I just can't get over this every time I hear her sing I just I'm Amazed so thank you! better than Adele and it was originally done by Adele so thank you for doing this!
Her voice is full emotions and she also sings with her body her hands her eyes very emotional and she has a full voice she’s been equipped with what other singers have more but they don’t have she’s a gift from heaven I say I think she’s been touched by 👼angel because your voice is divine! Every time I hear her she’s different I call her the girl with the A Hundred voices
I'm not really into music, but I can't put her voice away. There is something unique about her and how she sing with such feelings. I've to admit that I have become completely addicted. What should I do? I am constantly searching for new things about her on youtube. Thx for you professional feed back.
@@RustyShacklefordChannel Good on ya Rusty! I thought of you in this comment. Thanks for putting Angelina's songs in one place. It's my go to spot to raise my spirits.
MEGA NEWS FOR YOU AS A REACTOR! This one you MUST please take a reaction on !!! ANGELINA JORDAN (15 y.o.) ft. Duffy "Mercy" Virtual Duet - GOOSEBUMPS !!!
Very nice reaction..love your reactions of Angelina 🥰 please react to her live version in Oslo..she sings a james brown song with a full military orchestra.. love from Norway 🇳🇴🥰
Kevin Neal I have been following Angelina since she won NGT and every time I hear her she simply brings out my emotions. This performance for me is perhaps her best. I just can't watch this video without tears coming.
Angelina performance on AGT is to let America know who she is. She has accomplished that. It doesn’t matter to me if she wins the competition because she has already won people’s hearts. I’m ready to buy all her albums and go to her concerts.
I have said this before, but all the best reactions to Angelina come from people that actually understand music. It is always those people that recognize that this is not just another good singer... this is something special we are witnessing. Speaking of something special, I can't wait to see your reaction to her performance on AGT the other night! You HAVE to see it!!
Love her Cousin's facial reaction when she hit the high notes...she checks the lyrics from time to time...doesn't mess with the delivery at all...she has mad skills!
Ivan Mendez is not her cousin, he is her guitar-playing friend when she is in L.A. Egil Clausen is her guitarist friend when she is in Oslo. Both are in total awe of her & often experience ear-gasams while playing for her. Both will some time brag to their grandchildren that they played for Angelina before she was a world-wide megastar.
So good to see and hear another Angelina reaction from you, Valerie. I love the "can't be taught, must be caught", analysis. No one can really figure out how she can wring so much emotion from her performances; it's almost mythical. This song makes me tear up every time, and I've seen/heard it at least 50 times. And she's reading the lyrics part of the time. Then she smiles and waves bye like nothing happened. It's almost like she's this incredible actor who rehearses the part and then nails the performance. Then goes back to living her regular life. I feel the same as you about the Simon Cowell mill. But you really need to see and hear what she did on that show. INCREDIBLE! She just blew everyone away with her special arrangement of that iconic rock song. She turned it into, for me, a song about how lost love can crush the will to live. And I don't think I've every seen or heard an audience response quite like that. I'm including the link for you here: ua-cam.com/video/sqmJLkgk2Ik/v-deo.html Four days after it already has over 8M views of all the You Tube channels, and it is being talked about around the world. Queen (yes the band) applauded her performance with a WOW! on Twitter. I hope you will react to it. As always, I love you reactions to Angelina. Best wishes. Billy J
Billy J you are speaking my language . Please keep commenting on quality reviewers page likelike this one , as I often seek yours and Rusty out amongst several others to put print my exact thoughts. Cheers . Arcelie Dunn from Brisbane Australia
Hi Valerie. I am a 65 year old retired sailor and lifelong music lover of all genres and eras. I subscribe to and love your reactions especially to Angelina Jordan. When you need to interrupt a song to comment you always do so where it least disturbs the musical flow. Your comments are always interesting and very informative especially to a nonprofessional like myself. I was captivated by Angelina from the first note I ever heard her sing. I have listened to and downloaded everything I have ever found from her including interviews, performances, rehearsals even a walk on performance by Angelina on a Netflix original drama. Angelina is simply beyond my ability to fully comprehend or explain. Her effect on me has been profound. I think she has been sent to us by God to be a healing Angel for our souls. Angelina is such a beautiful person in every way God intended us to be. I too am somewhat disappointed? Disturbed? Suspicious? of the AGT franchise and pray Angelina never becomes entangled in Simon Cowell’s web nor that of any who do not love and cherish Angelina for her innocence, compassion, beguiling beauty and seemingly infinite talent. Even though I greatly distrust the motives of AGT I must beg of you please react to Angelina’s performance of Monday, January 6th on AGT including pre and post performance interviews and comments. Angelina’s arrangement, vocals and emotional rendition of one of the most iconic songs ever is simply stunning. Plus you get to see her Grandmother, mother Sara, sister Juliette and her uncle in the audience several times. Speaking of the audience, their reaction is likewise stunned, amazed, joyful and almost reverent. For her first prime time U.S. exposure Angelina is a study in the perfection of grace, beauty and humble respect.
@@BlackWolfSpirit I just visited Queen's FB page. While Queen gave her big thumbs up, Queen's fans left comments that I thought obnoxious, rude and unfair at best. Many of the comment were downright hateful and described Angelina and her voice in very awful and childish terms. Still a Queen fan but I'll never visit an official or fan sponsored Queen site again. It was really astonishing the level of vitriol posted by many fans.
Angelina's artistry, versatility and her ability to convey emotions effortlessly, is what will make her standout! Our barefooted Princess of Soul soon to be Queen with a thousand voices has capped another milestone in her journey to music greatness!!! That said, you haven't seen nothing yet! This is just a taste. She is saving the best for last! Mark my words!!
You are wise! Angelina is one of a kind, but thankfully she has a family who is protecting her from the music monster industry. Hopefully, they still keep their heads clear. I however think she is so special, and I am so happy that she is sharing her amazing voice with us.
Hello from Poland :) Thank you for your analysis, I value it very much. Five years ago I thought that only I discovered this Angel in Poland;) What can I write here: a wonderful, brilliant child, singing jazz, now a 14-year-old young lady :) I am addicted, I listen to everything that is on the network many times and, being already also after 60, I would like to have time to look at the development of her genius. Best wishes.
Her story, for instance that she was singing some tunes she had heard- at age of one and a half, may offer some explanations...Only an extreme case of natural talent would do that, right?? A number of her performances puzzles me, even after hearing these songs so many times, I still just shake my head, and accept that I will never ever figure out why I thousands of times find myself brought to tears.
It is so nice to see your reactions. You seem like a wonderful person. One can see that you get pulled into the song and really enjoy it. Wish you a wonderful weekend
Hi Valerie, thanks to UA-cam that we can find all these wonderful singers from all around the world. I have loved watching Angelina Jordan's journey since she auditioned for Norway's Got Talent. Her voice is so unique. Old soul indeed. I know your dislike of the Simon Cowell franchises. I used to watch all the got talent, the voice, x factor shows. But I haven't for a few seasons now. I've gotten sick of all the judges drama's. It seems more important than the talents nowadays. Of course, only a few of the winners of these shows. Seem to stick around. Most you never hear of again. Anyway I saw Angelina's performance on AGT the Champions. I'm sure by now. You have heard, and that it's no surprise that her performance was incredible. It was crazy good. No surprise that she got the Golden Buzzer. And straight through to the final. She sang Bohemian Rhapsody. But! In her own unique style. Stripped back. Acapella intro. Then just her voice and a acoustic guitar. Stunning performance.
Angelina has a voice and way of singing that really touches me. I'm not a religious or very spiritual person, but I can't help feeling she is the reincarnation of several different great artists we lost over the years. Just kidding, but her talent is really special.
I feel the same, she is very special and sometimes I wonder what deep legacy have inside... When I heard the story behind her bare feet singing I was perplexed. And she was younger than 7 when she did that.
Children feel strong emotions, including missing their mothers. What they usually lack is the behavior expressing these feelings. Angelina became obsessed with listening to jazz singers as early as 1 1/2 (by her own report). That is when children learn to speak by imitating the sounds they hear, so by the time she sang "A Million Years Ago" she already had many years experience listening to and "speaking" jazz. How blessed we all are to be in her audience.
Mystics believe that children--on the soul level--choose their parents for reasons that will bring necessary challenges and also support innate interests and talents. This level of expertise in music is not just the product of listening to songs at age one. There are plenty of children exposed to things at a young age who never develop any talent.
@@Rosannasfriend I get that. It's just that technique without emotions serves no purpose. There are so many performers that are technically good, but they don't know how to use that technique to convey emotions. That's why I miss focus on how technique and style choices creates different emotions in the listeners.
Wonderful reaction video. She is unique and has the ability to touch our souls again and again AND again.... even if i have listened to this version so many times , it still touched me when i listen to it.
Hi, this is one of my favorite songs that she sings I hear her sings over and over, what a talent she must have fallen from the sky to sing her precious voice to all of us, she did win the golden buzzer she will be going straight to the finals, I just hope she wins the whole thing, like you said I hope she doesn't go into the Simon claws! Thank you for your great reaction!❗💜
I'm a fan of Angelina since her first audition in Norway. Valerie, I appreciate very much your technical and sincere analysis about voice, phrasing and negative space usage, etc. Please let's follow her progression, much as your valuable reaction and performance analyses.
you may not be into simon or the agt franchise,but you will be missing out on another great performance of Angelina's if you don't watch it. she was totally mesmerizing. also since you like when she sings with just the guitar playing you should be sure to watch her cover of always on my mind. she dedicates it to her grandfather who has passed away. there is not a song she can't do and do it well. i love her voice. always look forward to your reactions to Angelina.
May I suggest you to react to her cover .... Valerie? Not just for the name coincidence - and the obvious quality of her cover of Amy W. - but the video being made in the beach with Angelina and her sister shows what you may only guess until now, she is still a girl in her 12 yo by then playing as any other of same age would do. So, it doesn’t answer the question how is this all possible, being the kid and the much older singer at the same time. The Queen liked in Instagram her version of Bohemian Rapsody at AGT, means something and you will probably have a look into it one day. Great reaction as usual
As a nice facts of Angelina is that she is the youngest author in the Norwegian history to publish her own book called “ Between two hearts “ at age of 9 years old
Not saying I am necessarily right, but the only way I can read the lyrics of this song is that they are written from the point of view of a prisoner, a young beer drinking, hard partying, hard fighting thug who landed a sentence of some length for some thoughtless violence or drugs. "I miss the air", "look at the sky, not just the floor", etc., all make sense if they represent the feelings of someone who is incarcerated. The genius of Adele is that she made it so heartfelt, so real, that you overlook the incongruity of her singing those lyrics. Then, when Angelina comes along and tests her lowest register and sings every word with such a textured sound and so much feeling, it's just all the more remarkable. The fact that these two can sing a song that is so obviously from a hooligan's point of view just makes the point that songs are all about feelings, not facts or logic, and great singers can make songs their own.
Hi. Its wonderful see your reaction. And I agree with you. I'm not fan on this kind of shows. But if you react this. You will se how Angelina change de game. She show for them how is really a star must sing. I think you will like to wacth. Cause Angelina make the her way.
There's a video out there putting this version side by side with Adele, and I swear Angelina sounds better. It is RARE that a cover of a song by someone that is already world class, gets a cover that is better than the original, but I honestly prefer this to Adele's original. And that's not to take anything away from Adele - she is wonderful. It's just that Angelina is one in a billion.
Iv been following angelinas music since she won Norway’s got talent at 7 years old n her family did a fantastic job of keeping her grounded after that win , her mother was we are going back to normal things like school etc stunning and she has a long career ahead of her thanks for reaction , also another child that was in a g t came second Angelica hale very young and stunning voice x
That microphone of hers is super sensitive (listen to her breathe in) and picks up every nuance of her voice. Also agree about her being at her best with just the guitar which is the way she competed on AGY champions. The same guitarist?
Very good reaction....you find words others are so in freeze and shock they just say wow wow wow because they are too stunned so I really appreciate your eloquent and elaborating way of analyzing
I`ve got goosebumps almost everytime i hear her sing, I`m 50 years old, and never had that feeling before. Maybe i`ts me that getting older and more sentimental, i`m not sure, but i`m addicted to her voice, that`s for sure :-)
Valerie, thank you so much for your beautiful reaction to my favorite singer. This was my #1 favorite song by Angelina since I heard it nearly 2 years ago. However, her performance on AGT Champions was at a whole different level & Bohemian Rhapsody is my new #1. She rearranged a classic rock song into a stripped down soulful jazzy version that was just stunning. She is blowing up on the internet & even Queen (the band) was amazed at her performance. You have to react to it. She did the same thing when she was 12 with the classic Mommas & Poppas California Dreaming. She slowed it down & turned it into a soulful, beautiful jazz song. That's her gift, taking a great old song & bringing it back to life in a new way for a new generation & with jaw-dropping vocals. The remaining Mommas & Poppas loved it too & posted it on their IG. Who does that! Great musicians respecting a new generation of great musicians, that's who.
Hah! she's already grown far beyond shows like AGT. This was no more than a p.r. move to promote the new album she's about to drop. If she were to win I'm sure she'd love it, but that's really just icing on the cake for her. It's that name recognition that she's really after here, as far as I can tell. Now when the album drops it'll be: "Hey, that's Angelina Jordan, I saw her on AGT!" instead of: "Angelina Jordan, who's that?". She's already quite famous in Europe and Asia and all over the internet, as the billion plus views she's already had shows, it's just America that's a bit behind the times, and this appearance will change that. It's a big and important market for her, and this is a brilliant move on her part. On a separate note, I love the connection you make between music and spirituality. In my early teens my life path was headed either straight to a prison cell or a violent and early end, but then I discovered a slight penchant for playing music and singing, and the connections I made through that turned my entire life around. I'm in my seventies now, happy, content, and well retired, and if it weren't for music I'd have never made it here. Music and spirituality are completely intertwined, and the one leads to the other and will make any life better for it.
Thank for reacting to angelina Jordan. Angelina got the golden buzzer at agt Champions when she sang bohemian rhapsody by queen and she did an amazing job with that song so angelina Jordan is in the finals now
813 people liked the video. 5 people did not find out how to unmute the audio To those people, down to the left in the video window, you have three buttons. the third from the left is the unmute button ;)
Thank you for your reaction, Valerie! I'm Ivan Mendez and I accompanied Jordan in this song. I just released a new song today on my channel and I would love to hear your thoughts!
I see that she put a spell on you too! Just one performance and you're hooked.
I love your reactions. Sometimes you actually look and act like you are in paradise. Much like the rest of us.
God she makes you just want to hold her and let her know everything will be alright What a voice
I have been playing guitar for 56 years and most of my professional life has been backing up singers... I would sell my soul at the crossroads to play guitar for her...
She a dream! :) She knows what she wants at a very young age.
With Adele you hear it. With Angelina you feel it
So glad I found you. You incorporate a lot of substance and knowledge in your reactions. Your are quite educational. Thank you.
Look at Angelina singing Natural Woman. Other worldly.
To be reading the words as she delivers is just unbelievable it really is :)
Yes, you got the point. How does that young girl have such a wisdom. I'm amazed too.
The depth of emotion in her vocals is unprecedented for someone of such a young age.
Is she reading the words of the verses from a display at her lower left? That would make this an early practice/ rehearsal. Incredible!
I just heard the best female singer in the world, the best guitar player in the world and the best female reactor in the world, awesome.
i love this song, Angelina & her guitarist Ivan Mendez!!!

The 'bye' at the end makes me melt instantly. :)
There are so many singers who practise and practise in order to sing a song as perfect as possible and it just doesn't come across.
This young Norwegian girl, even at her young age, the feelings, rhythm, timing, English language, it is all so natural to her.
Years ago when i saw her performance on 'Norway got talent' i was in complete awe!
Ivan Mendez was born to play for Angelina Jordan
Nació con el talento de sacar su alma en notas musicales con absoluta naturalidad. Cuando canta se vuelve arte.
Esplêndido! Que linda voz!!
She is on top of the world now, after that AGT performance, and the video gone viral. She took an iconic rock song and reshaped it into her quiet love ballad. She started a cappella, and grabbed the whole theatre from the first note. You could hear a hairpin drop. Just to have the guts. And the creativity. It's more than a song, it's a statement.

I've only seen one other person smile like that when listing to this song, and that's Ivan Mendez, the guitarist :]
He looks like he's in heaven.
He looked like her voice went right through him, right to his soul. just beautiful.
you speak my mind, Yoshik .. i love to watch Ivan .. especially in this song .. and yes, Valerie listens that way too.❤
Her voice is full emotions and she also sings with her body her hands her eyes very emotional and she has a full voice she’s been equipped with what other singers have more but they don’t have she’s a gift from heaven I say I think she’s been touched by 👼angel because your voice is divine!

I have been following Angelina since she won NGT and every time I hear her she simply brings out my emotions. This performance for me is perhaps her best. I just can't watch this video without tears coming.
I could listen to her for hours followed her since she was 8yrs old amazing
I admit it took me a couple of minutes to recognize that this was Adele's song. She sings this wonderfully. Maybe even better than Adele.
Agree. I try and buy the song online which is how I found out it's Adele's song.
better, no contest.
i think its amazing i think she loves adele but she sings it her way and its lovely we are lucky to have both adlele and angelina
More personal, less "brassy".
To say that Angelina has a time machine in her voice, it is a perfect way to describe how great and wonderful her voice is
The look on the guitars player face...
Angelina performance on AGT is to let America know who she is. She has accomplished that. It doesn’t matter to me if she wins the competition because she has already won people’s hearts. I’m ready to buy all her albums and go to her concerts.
Angelina Had her 14th birthday yesterday, Jan. 10th. AGT Golden buzzer winner on Jan 6 2020.
She's got that cool Capricorn self-control.
She was only twelve here, but I think she'd already been singing for about thirty years.
You are right. She carried the experience of this level of musical sensibility over from earlier incarnations.
I have said this before, but all the best reactions to Angelina come from people that actually understand music. It is always those people that recognize that this is not just another good singer... this is something special we are witnessing. Speaking of something special, I can't wait to see your reaction to her performance on AGT the other night! You HAVE to see it!!
The chorus is just a pure eargasm.
And in all the magic she`s spraying Angelina permanently seems to read the lyrics while singing...no words
Another piece of work as always in your reaction 🙏🙏🙏❤❤👍👍👏👏👏
Love your constructive reaction! ❤️
Love her Cousin's facial reaction when she hit the high notes...she checks the lyrics from time to time...doesn't mess with the delivery at all...she has mad skills!

Billy J you are speaking my language . Please keep commenting on quality reviewers page likelike this one , as I often seek yours and Rusty out amongst several others to put print my exact thoughts. Cheers . Arcelie Dunn from Brisbane Australia
@@arceliedunn2022 Thanks for the shout out, Arcelie. Hope you are doing okay with all the fires and such. Best wishes.
Hi Valerie. I am a 65 year old retired sailor and lifelong music lover of all genres and eras. I subscribe to and love your reactions especially to Angelina Jordan. When you need to interrupt a song to comment you always do so where it least disturbs the musical flow. Your comments are always interesting and very informative especially to a nonprofessional like myself.
I was captivated by Angelina from the first note I ever heard her sing. I have listened to and downloaded everything I have ever found from her including interviews, performances, rehearsals even a walk on performance by Angelina on a Netflix original drama.
Angelina is simply beyond my ability to fully comprehend or explain. Her effect on me has been profound. I think she has been sent to us by God to be a healing Angel for our souls. Angelina is such a beautiful person in every way God intended us to be.
I too am somewhat disappointed? Disturbed? Suspicious? of the AGT franchise and pray Angelina never becomes entangled in Simon Cowell’s web nor that of any who do not love and cherish Angelina for her innocence, compassion, beguiling beauty and seemingly infinite talent.
Even though I greatly distrust the motives of AGT I must beg of you please react to Angelina’s performance of Monday, January 6th on AGT including pre and post performance interviews and comments. Angelina’s arrangement, vocals and emotional rendition of one of the most iconic songs ever is simply stunning. Plus you get to see her Grandmother, mother Sara, sister Juliette and her uncle in the audience several times.
Speaking of the audience, their reaction is likewise stunned, amazed, joyful and almost reverent. For her first prime time U.S. exposure Angelina is a study in the perfection of grace, beauty and humble respect.
@@BlackWolfSpirit I just visited Queen's FB page. While Queen gave her big thumbs up, Queen's fans left comments that I thought obnoxious, rude and unfair at best. Many of the comment were downright hateful and described Angelina and her voice in very awful and childish terms. Still a Queen fan but I'll never visit an official or fan sponsored Queen site again. It was really astonishing the level of vitriol posted by many fans.
@@jeffreyjenkins1242 Yea, one Queen fan said it was the worst cover of BR he'd ever heard! What a jerk with no musical comprehension!
Angelina's artistry, versatility and her ability to convey emotions effortlessly, is what will make her standout! Our barefooted Princess of Soul soon to be Queen with a thousand voices has capped another milestone in her journey to music greatness!!! That said, you haven't seen nothing yet! This is just a taste. She is saving the best for last! Mark my words!!
You are wise! Angelina is one of a kind, but thankfully she has a family who is protecting her from the music monster industry. Hopefully, they still keep their heads clear. I however think she is so special, and I am so happy that she is sharing her amazing voice with us.
It's not possible that she gets this in a normal way. There must be something else in her that the world never seen.....
Hello from Poland :) Thank you for your analysis, I value it very much. Five years ago I thought that only I discovered this Angel in Poland;) What can I write here: a wonderful, brilliant child, singing jazz, now a 14-year-old young lady :) I am addicted, I listen to everything that is on the network many times and, being already also after 60, I would like to have time to look at the development of her genius.
Best wishes.
Please react to AGT Champions with Angelina singing Bohemian Rhapsody I want to see the expression on your face lol
I love your reaction videos of Angelina! You should do her Golden Buzzer performance on AGT Champions as well :)
Her story, for instance that she was singing some tunes she had heard- at age of one and a half, may offer some explanations...Only an extreme case of natural talent would do that, right?? A number of her performances puzzles me, even after hearing these songs so many times, I still just shake my head, and accept that I will never ever figure out why I thousands of times find myself brought to tears.
Being brought to tears--it's called the Jackie Effect...I mean, the Angelina Effect.
Haha, when you mention it, I’ll admit a certain performance of pie jesus brought me to tears for some years ago... :)
It is so nice to see your reactions. You seem like a wonderful person. One can see that you get pulled into the song and really enjoy it. Wish you a wonderful weekend
Well said Rebecca
Wisdom of old soul
She is angel
Hi Valerie, thanks to UA-cam that we can find all these wonderful singers from all around the world. I have loved watching Angelina Jordan's journey since she auditioned for Norway's Got Talent. Her voice is so unique. Old soul indeed. I know your dislike of the Simon Cowell franchises. I used to watch all the got talent, the voice, x factor shows. But I haven't for a few seasons now. I've gotten sick of all the judges drama's. It seems more important than the talents nowadays. Of course, only a few of the winners of these shows. Seem to stick around. Most you never hear of again. Anyway I saw Angelina's performance on AGT the Champions. I'm sure by now. You have heard, and that it's no surprise that her performance was incredible. It was crazy good. No surprise that she got the Golden Buzzer. And straight through to the final. She sang Bohemian Rhapsody. But! In her own unique style. Stripped back. Acapella intro. Then just her voice and a acoustic guitar. Stunning performance.
It's a wonderful song and wonderful lyrics and wonderful Angelina
Angelina has a voice and way of singing that really touches me. I'm not a religious or very spiritual person, but I can't help feeling she is the reincarnation of several different great artists we lost over the years.
Just kidding, but her talent is really special.
I feel the same, she is very special and sometimes I wonder what deep legacy have inside...
When I heard the story behind her bare feet singing I was perplexed. And she was younger than 7 when she did that.
The facial expressions of the guitarist says it all.
There must be a movie/musical that she could be in surely?
Children feel strong emotions, including missing their mothers. What they usually lack is the behavior expressing these feelings. Angelina became obsessed with listening to jazz singers as early as 1 1/2 (by her own report). That is when children learn to speak by imitating the sounds they hear, so by the time she sang "A Million Years Ago" she already had many years experience listening to and "speaking" jazz. How blessed we all are to be in her audience.
Mystics believe that children--on the soul level--choose their parents for reasons that will bring necessary challenges and also support innate interests and talents. This level of expertise in music is not just the product of listening to songs at age one. There are plenty of children exposed to things at a young age who never develop any talent.
Really like you recognise the ability to convey emotions.
Think too many other vocal coaches are only focusing on technique
Most of them mentioned that emotions are very important. The thing is that that's the point of their channels, to give technical analysis.
@@Rosannasfriend I get that. It's just that technique without emotions serves no purpose. There are so many performers that are technically good, but they don't know how to use that technique to convey emotions. That's why I miss focus on how technique and style choices creates different emotions in the listeners.
Wonderful reaction video. She is unique and has the ability to touch our souls again and again AND again.... even if i have listened to this version so many times , it still touched me when i listen to it.
I wonder if you ever saw her audition for “Norway Has Talent” when she was 7 yrs old singing a Billie Holiday song. Give yourself a treat.
Hi, this is one of my favorite songs that she sings I hear her sings over and over, what a talent she must have fallen from the sky to sing her precious voice to all of us, she did win the golden buzzer she will be going straight to the finals, I just hope she wins the whole thing, like you said I hope she doesn't go into the Simon claws! Thank you for your great reaction!❗💜
I'm a fan of Angelina since her first audition in Norway. Valerie, I appreciate very much your technical and sincere analysis about voice, phrasing and negative space usage, etc. Please let's follow her progression, much as your valuable reaction and performance analyses.
you may not be into simon or the agt franchise,but you will be missing out on another great performance of Angelina's if you don't watch it. she was totally mesmerizing. also since you like when she sings with just the guitar playing you should be sure to watch her cover of always on my mind. she dedicates it to her grandfather who has passed away. there is not a song she can't do and do it well. i love her voice. always look forward to your reactions to Angelina.
May I suggest you to react to her cover .... Valerie? Not just for the name coincidence - and the obvious quality of her cover of Amy W. - but the video being made in the beach with Angelina and her sister shows what you may only guess until now, she is still a girl in her 12 yo by then playing as any other of same age would do. So, it doesn’t answer the question how is this all possible, being the kid and the much older singer at the same time. The Queen liked in Instagram her version of Bohemian Rapsody at AGT, means something and you will probably have a look into it one day. Great reaction as usual
He escuchado este tema minimo 20 veces y no puedo evitar las lágrimas cada vez, ella canta con el alma. La amo..
As a nice facts of Angelina is that she is the youngest author in the Norwegian history to publish her own book called “ Between two hearts “ at age of 9 years old
Not saying I am necessarily right, but the only way I can read the lyrics of this song is that they are written from the point of view of a prisoner, a young beer drinking, hard partying, hard fighting thug who landed a sentence of some length for some thoughtless violence or drugs. "I miss the air", "look at the sky, not just the floor", etc., all make sense if they represent the feelings of someone who is incarcerated. The genius of Adele is that she made it so heartfelt, so real, that you overlook the incongruity of her singing those lyrics. Then, when Angelina comes along and tests her lowest register and sings every word with such a textured sound and so much feeling, it's just all the more remarkable. The fact that these two can sing a song that is so obviously from a hooligan's point of view just makes the point that songs are all about feelings, not facts or logic, and great singers can make songs their own.
Hi. Its wonderful see your reaction. And I agree with you. I'm not fan on this kind of shows. But if you react this. You will se how Angelina change de game. She show for them how is really a star must sing. I think you will like to wacth. Cause Angelina make the her way.
Thank you I love your reviews
There's a video out there putting this version side by side with Adele, and I swear Angelina sounds better. It is RARE that a cover of a song by someone that is already world class, gets a cover that is better than the original, but I honestly prefer this to Adele's original. And that's not to take anything away from Adele - she is wonderful. It's just that Angelina is one in a billion.
Angelina wrote (What is Life ) and Shield.
Iv been following angelinas music since she won Norway’s got talent at 7 years old n her family did a fantastic job of keeping her grounded after that win , her mother was we are going back to normal things like school etc stunning and she has a long career ahead of her thanks for reaction , also another child that was in a g t came second Angelica hale very young and stunning voice x
Hallo! I would like to see your reaction to this version of angelina ! Thanks a million
That microphone of hers is super sensitive (listen to her breathe in) and picks up every nuance of her voice. Also agree about her being at her best with just the guitar which is the way she competed on AGY champions. The same guitarist?
Angelina Jordan’s Bohemian Rhapsody is now available in all major streamings label: Apple Music, Amazon, Spotify and so on. I bought I right away.
I hope you react to her performance at ATG even though you don't like Simon and his shows so much. She did amazing on the show.
Thanks for this Great reaction and quite respectful comments ❤👍
Thanks so much for another awesome reaction to Angelina!
Pliz react on fly me to the moon by Angelina when she was 8 yrs old
Very good reaction....you find words others are so in freeze and shock they just say wow wow wow because they are too stunned so I really appreciate your eloquent and elaborating way of analyzing
I`ve got goosebumps almost everytime i hear her sing, I`m 50 years old, and never had that feeling before. Maybe i`ts me that getting older and more sentimental, i`m not sure, but i`m addicted to her voice, that`s for sure :-)
Valerie, thank you so much for your beautiful reaction to my favorite singer. This was my #1 favorite song by Angelina since I heard it nearly 2 years ago. However, her performance on AGT Champions was at a whole different level & Bohemian Rhapsody is my new #1. She rearranged a classic rock song into a stripped down soulful jazzy version that was just stunning. She is blowing up on the internet & even Queen (the band) was amazed at her performance. You have to react to it. She did the same thing when she was 12 with the classic Mommas & Poppas California Dreaming. She slowed it down & turned it into a soulful, beautiful jazz song. That's her gift, taking a great old song & bringing it back to life in a new way for a new generation & with jaw-dropping vocals. The remaining Mommas & Poppas loved it too & posted it on their IG. Who does that! Great musicians respecting a new generation of great musicians, that's who.
In my mind she is a musical genius, BASTA!
Hah! she's already grown far beyond shows like AGT. This was no more than a p.r. move to promote the new album she's about to drop. If she were to win I'm sure she'd love it, but that's really just icing on the cake for her. It's that name recognition that she's really after here, as far as I can tell. Now when the album drops it'll be: "Hey, that's Angelina Jordan, I saw her on AGT!" instead of: "Angelina Jordan, who's that?". She's already quite famous in Europe and Asia and all over the internet, as the billion plus views she's already had shows, it's just America that's a bit behind the times, and this appearance will change that. It's a big and important market for her, and this is a brilliant move on her part.
On a separate note, I love the connection you make between music and spirituality. In my early teens my life path was headed either straight to a prison cell or a violent and early end, but then I discovered a slight penchant for playing music and singing, and the connections I made through that turned my entire life around. I'm in my seventies now, happy, content, and well retired, and if it weren't for music I'd have never made it here. Music and spirituality are completely intertwined, and the one leads to the other and will make any life better for it.
Thank for reacting to angelina Jordan. Angelina got the golden buzzer at agt Champions when she sang bohemian rhapsody by queen and she did an amazing job with that song so angelina Jordan is in the finals now
I would like you to react to her recent AGT - performance. I know you once warned her to participate in these kind of shows
