You just can't fake that kind of soul. I don't know how, but this 12 year old always sounds like she has been through some stuff. Angelina has so many different sounds and every one of them is something that just pulls you in and holds you there. I agree with you, Angelina and just a guitarist for an entire concert would be a dream to see. Angelina does play guitar and piano, so we may one day see her performing more stuff solo, accompanying herself (fingers crossed). A note on the mic (since you mentioned it)... Angelina received this mic for her 12th birthday, and this is likely one of the first times she used it (which may be why she is holding it backwards ...or holding it at all since it's not really a mic one would hold). That mic went on to record some amazing stuff in the years that followed :) I imagine one day we will see that mic behind glass and preserved as an important piece of music history. As microphones go that one hit the lottery ;)
Randy, you are the aficionado on Angelina's musical life and it is truly a fascinating story. I would love to see you write a short biography on her life and provide all of the little inside bits of information that you know. I would even be willing to pay for is as a pamphlet or book. I appreciate all of your insights. I only discovered Angelina serendipitously on UA-cam in January with her AGTC 2020 Bohemian Rhapsody cover. I hardly listen to any other music as she basically covers nearly all genres.
wow is correct! Angelina can channel Etta James like nobody. This performance is just ridiculous. That tone comes from nowhere. She is sitting on a couch and she has the most amazing tone.
Well said Adam👍Perfect analysed👏👏👏👏I love and adore Angelina,this one is absolutely out of the world🙏 I have been following her since the first day on»Norway’s got talent» and I am an Norwgian👍 I live in Bergen not so fare from «Aurora»😻 Stay safe,take care….love from Norway🇳🇴
How does someone who looks so innocent sing with so much soul. I've seen this performance twenty times or more and it blows me away each time. I agree with you, she does not need slot of production and l hope her record label recognizes that. With a voice like hers, no dancers needed. She is the real deal and l hope the U.S. audience hasn't been numbed to the point that they can't see and hear it. I know the older generation does.
Ça paraît pas possible et pourtant on ne peut que l’aimer elle est unique magique une performance incroyable une voix qui vient du plus profond de son âme
She looks like she just got home from school, saw her new microphone had arrived and decided to give the world a masterclass on soul. The result it pure magic.
Aside from all the superlatives I’ve used to describe my feelings about Angelina, something I probably haven’t said is that hearing Angelina sing sometimes is just fun. I don’t think it’s possible to watch Angelina’s version of I’d Rather Go Blind without smiling. You can see what a joy is it for her to really get into this type of music, and that joy spreads to us. On songs like this, or I Put a Spell on You, or It’s a Man’s World-I watch reactors first open their eyes wider, then their mouth drops open, and then it turns into a smile. Perfectly understandable. She brings joy to me every day.
Angelina for me delivers a story far better than any other. I also believe there is magic in her voice. That combination is what allows our mind and spirit to be transported.
Bravo!! Angelina's performance is superb. I'm amazed every time. She has a captivating voice and humillity that draws you in as she sings. Angelina continue with that uniqueness and humble heart in music. I must also comment and congratulate Adam in his musical critique for Angelina's performance. You have a rich vocabulary that educates and bring the emotion of the performer and the listener. You posses such knowledge of music from different genres and styles. You're such a Pro. It has been a privilege listening to your musical critique. Your critique for other performancers have also been outstanding.
Very nice to have you back reacting to Angelina. Yes, that note at the end is extraordinary, and yes, I so hope that I get to see her perform songs like this in a small, intimate venue.
I'm so glad you are back because I truly appreciate your analysis. I hope you do more Angelina Jordan. This particular song is an example of Angelina's innate ability to adjust the tone, timbre, and style of her voice to suit the particular song and genre she is singing. It is more than evident in this particular song. This is why Angelina is now known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices.
Great to have you back, Adam. Even greater that you're back to reacting to Angelina. We often talk about Angelina's breath control but in this song she doesn't ever seem to inhale. I'm out of breath just watching her perform.
HOW IN THE WORLD HAVE I NOT BEEN THIS STUNNING YOUNG PERFECT VOCAL VIRTUOSO. OMG she is effortlessly gut-grabbing ridiculously wonderful! It’s like I just remembered how music is supposed to sound! ( And She ROCKS,)
Welcome back Adam, I'm very happy to see again with Angelina, we missed you and thanks for this fantastic reaction with this song by Etta. It seems impossible to understand how Angelina can conceive and implement an interpretation such this, it's simply incredible. I imagine that one of the reasons for Angelina's fantastic uniqueness is given precisely by the eclectic nature of her musical inspirations as well as, of course, by her fantastic talent. She has absorbed, studied and reworked so many great singers that she has almost become a wonderful human synthesizer, also endowed with an extraordinary capacity for musical analysis ❤️❤️ In this sweet moment of play on the sofa, with the new mike, while she accentuates the exasperated use of her vocal frying and the ease with which she manages to use it, she is incredible. 😳
Thank you for your reaction video and for continuing your Angelina Jordan’s journey. One of my all time favourite songs by my favourite artist Angelina Jordan. Ellington Jordan started writing the song while he was in prison but did not finish it. Etta James saw the outline of the song when she visited him in prison, it struck a cord with her and decided to finish it. The emotions that Etta performed the song with are unmatched. Angelina did the song more than justice. When Etta wrote the song, she was going through a very dark period of her life. She was addicted to drugs, in trouble for tax evasion, stealing from family and friends to finance her addiction, and in serious legal troubles. When the record was published, she gave her lyrics credits to her then partner Billy Foster (The singer with THE MEDALLIONS) to avoid having the royalties garnished. She performed this song many times and every time you could hear, see, and feel her pain. Thank you Angelina for bringing back these gems to the forefront. You’re on your way to taking your seat among the best artists ever.
I know Angelina has always been amazing, but since "Million Miles" her vocal control has reached a new level. Wanted to write that this cover is top tier, and then you've said it yourself...
Good morning Adam, now this is a way to wake up in the morning. Flipping fantabulous and phenomenal. Heart and soul penitraiting. Thank you Adam❤🙏🌞😊👏👏👏👏👏
Adam, my first reaction was being stunned! Then settling back and watch our princess take it from there. She was having so much fun doing this and, as usual, her confidence was off the charts. Yes, that "one note" never wanted to end. Welcome back, Adam. The Angelina family seems more complete with you in the midst of all the joy she brings to all of us.
You're spot on, Adam, "WOW" and I'll join you in that smoky, jazz bar or coffee shop or old-style cabaret ! I like your reactions, Adam, and yes it takes some time to get back from it.😋 This is on top of my Angelina's playlist: just marvellous, incredible… pure Magic!🥰 And yes, that "extended roller coast note" with her amazing breath control, @2:08" in the original video, that long breath last for 16-17" to conveys us to the end finishing with powerful notes 😳 punctuated by your "Yes and Wooo"! Subtle confidence, no arrogance… Impressive. 🤩 May I suggest you two time-travel rides with Angelina for the same song But before another marvel just before leaving Oslo for the US where she still live, in LA.: "Every Time We Say Goodbye" (oh, just saw you reacted 6 months ago) with presenters translation at the beginning: Him: Angelina Jordan is standing behind us, and the world lies a this 10 yo's feet. - Luckily for us, she dropped in, before her departure to USA.

I enjoy Angelina👣 every day all day past 7 years and I hope I continue doing that to the end of my days 🤗 Thanks again for lovely reaction and comments ~ You can compare Angelina to anyone but No one compares to Angelina👼👣👸A🌟 🙂👍 ~ OneLove 🕊 ~
Hi Adam, I had listened to 2-3 other reactions of yours prior to this. I went to your playlist and didn't realize how many AJ reviews you had so I went back in chronological order from"Spell" to "Shield". I only discovered AJ in October so unaware of your history with her. Took a few hours but I enjoyed every single review! esp.the one you waited for, Bohemian Rhapsody. That particular review spoke to me in that she had become like family and you feel like a parent watching her growth. So glad you took that progression. I've watched tons of reactions to Angelina but I must say yours are the most professional, intellectual and with so much sincerity that it truly sets you above all the others by far! There are a couple of songs that you may want to consider in the future..."My Funny Valentine" I believe just turned 10yo in a white turtleneck shirt on a sofa with no mic, just melts my heart and "If You Go Away". Neither song is perfect but the emotion she pulls out of me, I just can't explain. This is why I have become so attached to her and why I believe so many more will when she releases her new album. Thank you for continuing this journey.
Missed your reactions but I only listen to Angelina Jordan. She is sooo good in this performance. I watch all new Angelina reactions daily and if not then 30-50 old reactions daily. She is like a drug.
So good to see you with another Angelina reaction. This one is a gem. It got your blood flowing, I could tell. Music is magic but Angelina is the Spellcaster.
I agree with every word, you said. I would too, LOVE to hear her in a little jazzclub or something, just her and, like you said, a guitar and piano. Looking forward to your next video. 🌞
The image you created of her, a guitarist and a jazz club echoed exactly a post I made quite recently about our girl's evocation of yesteryear even when singing a pop song like Stay (which she elevated to to a whole 'nother level of music). I chuckled to myself and thought ,"oh yeah, he gets it." You got it in one. I'd love to see her in that club💕. All eyes would be locked on her, and quite a few mouths would be forgetting how to shut properly. A++ reaction. 🥇🏆💖💙🔥✌️😁
@@truthwarrior7934 I've heard the reactions of Black 'You Tubers' across the vast age range and even those I know personally, and everyone thinks their hearing an adult Black female who has had a hard life. When I tell them she's a kid from Norway, they walk away thinking I'm 'joshing' them. LOL
@@ridgemanron yes!! I too have seen many black ppl. react to Angelina & they are shocked, especially when the hear her sing' I put a spell on you'. I love how MUSIC can bring all walks of life together!!
@@truthwarrior7934 They do say that 'music soothes the savage beast' ! Heard another young, magical girl singer, that is also on You Tube - Laura Bretan - Mary, Did You Know - Lyrics. It's even more 'moving' than Ave Maria !
One of the tricks this mike has is a built in 'puff' filter. But it's got to face the singer. No matter she still leaves me wincing in unbelief. That voice is a weapon.
Just a 12 yo girl sitting on her couch at home singing into the back of her new mic, while playing around with an Etta James song. You talked about her vocal fry & rasp, etc, but can we talk about her breath control & capacity. That 17-sec melisma at the end on 1 breath, just boggles my mind. I agree, Angelina is best live with acoustic guitar or piano. She is working on her skills with both & I can't wait until she feels confident enough to perform on stage accompanying herself. Tickets will be hard to obtain!
What to make of Angelina? Just enjoy. I'm really looking forward to what will happen over the next few decades as she grows in experience and power. The mind boggles.
Must listen to , fairly recent , live studio version of ,"I'm a fool to want you" just amazing! She also did an accapella version when she was 7yrs old for NGT audition.
Great reaction Adam. Even when Angelina experiments (like here just sitting on the couch and turning up the 'vocal fry' to max) she still delivers world-class untouchable results. It makes me wonder how many other recordings she has of herself singing at the house that didn't meet her standards and thus we haven't seen/heard them (and likely won't)! Another jaw-dropping AJ 'experiment' you should react to is her playing piano and singing Chris Isaac's ' Wicked Games' ua-cam.com/video/5IAMF4FDfw4/v-deo.html
One of the of AJ's best cover. The emotional level is just over the top. I write this over and over again but I have to say it again. She uses her voice to interpret a song not to show off. She has the skills to do more fireworks but she doesn't. She always stay true to the song and it is always "tasteful" never "in your face". Someone in an other comment said it right. "Never arrogant, just authenticity. She is a true artist!
I agree with you completely. I love her stripped down versions the best. Even with her new song Million Miles I prefer the studio version with piano and cello over the bigger produced one with the electronic strings. DoSomeone like you by Adele please. Have you ever reacted to Eva Cassidy? Beautiful voice. Fields of Gold. Autumn Leaves. Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Her most popular. The BBC made her famous after her death in 1993
Here’s the deal about Angelina: some people mistakenly believe that she is merely mimicking great singers of the past. How can she be, when more often than not, she sings it better? Anyway, the truth is that the best music is timeless. And, Adam, she hasn’t even come close to her peak, yet!
doesn't AJA also turn THIS brand of microphone backwards at times to get a different sound? Like here? Are the pick-ups on one side? If so, it may change the tone. I think some poster noticed the emblem on the mic was facing US and not her as it normally would.
Great reaction as always . I have to listen to your reviews until the very end as they a filled with great insights and observations.
"Edge but not arrogance." Exactly right. Authenticity in this age is magical.
You just can't fake that kind of soul. I don't know how, but this 12 year old always sounds like she has been through some stuff. Angelina has so many different sounds and every one of them is something that just pulls you in and holds you there. I agree with you, Angelina and just a guitarist for an entire concert would be a dream to see. Angelina does play guitar and piano, so we may one day see her performing more stuff solo, accompanying herself (fingers crossed). A note on the mic (since you mentioned it)...

That mic went on to record some amazing stuff in the years that followed :) I imagine one day we will see that mic behind glass and preserved as an important piece of music history. As microphones go that one hit the lottery ;)
I'd love to live long enough to see that mic displayed next to Elton's glasses, Elvis's collection of scarves and Tori's Bösendorfer.💖
Yes Rusty, the mic in a museum along with her Mona Lisa smile that says " I love you all & I got this" just before she sings.
Randy, you are the aficionado on Angelina's musical life and it is truly a fascinating story. I would love to see you write a short biography on her life and provide all of the little inside bits of information that you know. I would even be willing to pay for is as a pamphlet or book. I appreciate all of your insights. I only discovered Angelina serendipitously on UA-cam in January with her AGTC 2020 Bohemian Rhapsody cover. I hardly listen to any other music as she basically covers nearly all genres.
There is a possibility that she holds it backwards on purpose, since she is a special genius...some day we will know it for sure!
You know, Rusty she has known loss from an early age along with all the support and adulation she's gotten. I think people overlook that.
What did you do after school today? Had. A pbj, sat on the couch and nailed an American standard and floored half a million people. And you?
wow is correct! Angelina can channel Etta James like nobody. This performance is just ridiculous. That tone comes from nowhere. She is sitting on a couch and she has the most amazing tone.
Well said Adam👍Perfect analysed👏👏👏👏I love and adore Angelina,this one is absolutely out of the world🙏 I have been following her since the first day on»Norway’s got talent» and I am an Norwgian👍 I live in Bergen not so fare from «Aurora»😻 Stay safe,take care….love from Norway🇳🇴
She recorded this for fun in attempting carrying the style throughout. And the listeners have absorbed every moment.

👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Great to have you back Adam. Angelina served us some fries with that soul food and the result was delicious.

I knew I missed your reactions, but I didn’t realise just how much until I heard your brilliant analysis. Thank you so much for this 💕👍
Most remarkable is her breath control! Thanks for your reaction!
I'd like to see Jordan at the Royal Albert Hall London :)
“A little bit of fry.”?? I was cooking my breakfast on it.
Lol. Did it crisp your bacon?
She burned the bacon, just how I like it. Fabulous!
The queen of fry
What can you say? Who else can do this? She took me all the way into that era with all the emotions. Unbelievably brilliant.
Angelina for me delivers a story far better than any other. I also believe there is magic in her voice. That combination is what allows our mind and spirit to be transported.
The true measure of a singer's ability to capture people would be just as you said ! Just her and a guitar/ piano on stage! GO ANGELINA JORDAN !!!!!
what can you say, Im speechless
Magic is the word
Angelina is 12 years old in this performance let me repeat that she's 12 years old excuse me why go bang my head against the wall
Aww brilliant reaction Adam ❤❤❤ one of my absolute favourites of Angelina 's xx
this performance, IMO, cements her place as the next queen of jazz and blue.
I've seen this many times and it still gives me goosebumps. Great reaction.
Bravo!! Angelina's performance is superb. I'm amazed every time. She has a captivating voice and humillity that draws you in as she sings.

I love her singing this song, and she really does take you on a journey.

Happy to see youre back in your roots❤️❤️❤️ Thank you Adam❤️
Loved this reaction
This what you do when you get a microphone and karaoke machine for you 12th birthday

,...and not so frequently but my favourite soubriquet "The Chameleon of Song".
Glad you're back, enjoy your reactions. Angelina continues to impress - there are no words.
Great to have you back, Adam. Even greater that you're back to reacting to Angelina. We often talk about Angelina's breath control but in this song she doesn't ever seem to inhale. I'm out of breath just watching her perform.
HOW IN THE WORLD HAVE I NOT BEEN THIS STUNNING YOUNG PERFECT VOCAL VIRTUOSO. OMG she is effortlessly gut-grabbing ridiculously wonderful! It’s like I just remembered how music is supposed to sound! ( And She ROCKS,)
Welcome back Adam, I'm very happy to see again with Angelina, we missed you and thanks for this fantastic reaction with this song by Etta.
It seems impossible to understand how Angelina can conceive and implement an interpretation such this, it's simply incredible. I imagine that one of the reasons for Angelina's fantastic uniqueness is given precisely by the eclectic nature of her musical inspirations as well as, of course, by her fantastic talent. She has absorbed, studied and reworked so many great singers that she has almost become a wonderful human synthesizer, also endowed with an extraordinary capacity for musical analysis ❤️❤️
In this sweet moment of play on the sofa, with the new mike, while she accentuates the exasperated use of her vocal frying and the ease with which she manages to use it, she is incredible. 😳
Thank you for your reaction video and for continuing your Angelina Jordan’s journey.
One of my all time favourite songs by my favourite artist Angelina Jordan.
Ellington Jordan started writing the song while he was in prison but did not finish it. Etta James saw the outline of the song when she visited him in prison, it struck a cord with her and decided to finish it. The emotions that Etta performed the song with are unmatched. Angelina did the song more than justice.
When Etta wrote the song, she was going through a very dark period of her life. She was addicted to drugs, in trouble for tax evasion, stealing from family and friends to finance her addiction, and in serious legal troubles. When the record was published, she gave her lyrics credits to her then partner Billy Foster (The singer with THE MEDALLIONS) to avoid having the royalties garnished. She performed this song many times and every time you could hear, see, and feel her pain.
Thank you Angelina for bringing back these gems to the forefront. You’re on your way to taking your seat among the best artists ever.
She’s on her way to setting at the head of the table.
I know Angelina has always been amazing, but since "Million Miles" her vocal control has reached a new level. Wanted to write that this cover is top tier, and then you've said it yourself...

This is on top of my Angelina's playlist: just marvellous, incredible… pure Magic!🥰
And yes, that "extended roller coast note" with her amazing breath control, @2:08" in the original video, that long breath last for 16-17" to conveys us to the end finishing with powerful notes 😳 punctuated by your "Yes and Wooo"!
Subtle confidence, no arrogance…
Impressive. 🤩
May I suggest you two time-travel rides with Angelina for the same song
But before another marvel just before leaving Oslo for the US where she still live, in LA.:
"Every Time We Say Goodbye" (oh, just saw you reacted 6 months ago) with presenters
translation at the beginning:
Him: Angelina Jordan is standing behind us, and the world lies a this 10 yo's feet.

One of my favorites from Angelina. Great reaction! And welcome back!
IMO, this what her voice is made for. I agree with you: this is where she shines most.
Just a 12 yo girl sitting on her couch at home singing into the back of her new mic, while playing around with an Etta James song. You talked about her vocal fry & rasp, etc, but can we talk about her breath control & capacity. That 17-sec melisma at the end on 1 breath, just boggles my mind. I agree, Angelina is best live with acoustic guitar or piano. She is working on her skills with both & I can't wait until she feels confident enough to perform on stage accompanying herself.

Absolutely outstanding performance
That's Angelina's jazz fry at it's best.
Another great reaction and great to have you back on line Adam...
Bro your reaction is amazing.... totally i agree with what you said....👍 she's really the best i enjoyed very much her singing..✌
What to make of Angelina? Just enjoy. I'm really looking forward to what will happen over the next few decades as she grows in experience and power. The mind boggles.
Welcome Back, Adam!. Thanks for this wonderful reaction on the marvelous Angelina.
Must listen to , fairly recent , live studio version of ,"I'm a fool to want you" just amazing! She also did an accapella version when she was 7yrs old for NGT audition.
"Subtle confidence" works. Nice one Adam.
Great reaction Adam. Even when Angelina experiments (like here just sitting on the couch and turning up the 'vocal fry' to max) she still delivers world-class untouchable results. It makes me wonder how many other recordings she has of herself singing at the house that didn't meet her standards and thus we haven't seen/heard them (and likely won't)! Another jaw-dropping AJ 'experiment' you should react to is her playing piano and singing Chris Isaac's ' Wicked Games' ua-cam.com/video/5IAMF4FDfw4/v-deo.html
Welcome back.. yes, Mind-blowing is the word that come to mind! Knocks it out of the park and universe for that matter.
I love her version of this song and I love her voice !! Beautiful ! 👍💛✨thank you 👍
She has such great vocal fry, she thought ok, I will just use it for an entire song. 😎
Missed you, Adam - thank you for the great reaction to this great performance.
Have you heard her do California Dreaming with her and just guitar?....think was during same session??? amazing
Not yet!
It is such a joy seeing you react to Angelina again, & with so much enthusiasm & appreciation.
One of the of AJ's best cover. The emotional level is just over the top. I write this over and over again but I have to say it again. She uses her voice to interpret a song not to show off. She has the skills to do more fireworks but she doesn't. She always stay true to the song and it is always "tasteful" never "in your face". Someone in an other comment said it right. "Never arrogant, just authenticity. She is a true artist!
I would give anything to see Etta James' face watching Angelina sing this song, She too would stay also be gaping just like us? 😲
I agree with you completely. I love her stripped down versions the best. Even with her new song Million Miles I prefer the studio version with piano and cello over the bigger produced one with the electronic strings. DoSomeone like you by Adele please. Have you ever reacted to Eva Cassidy? Beautiful voice. Fields of Gold. Autumn Leaves. Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Her most popular. The BBC made her famous after her death in 1993
I just hope the record company doesn't digitize her voice to mediocrity and leaves it pure.
I shudder at the thought that they may decide to try that but hope that the contract allows Angelina to refuse.

I am in absolute agreement.
Her family has full control on her contract so I doubt that they would allow that.
@@SagebrushRambles How do you know they have full control of her contract? Source? Link?
WELL SAID!!!!!!!!
Heya! I’ve been waiting for you to review this one. It’s hard for me to pick a favorite of hers, but I think this is it for me. Unique. 🥳
Hi dude!! What a voice!!
She reminds me of the late amy Whitehouse..
I'm sure she will be going places that that kind of voice!!
Liked your reaction!!
Back with another great reaction 🙏🙏👍👍💙💙

Here’s the deal about Angelina: some people mistakenly believe that she is merely mimicking great singers of the past. How can she be, when more often than not, she sings it better? Anyway, the truth is that the best music is timeless. And, Adam, she hasn’t even come close to her peak, yet!
AJ is bringing Jazz back. I've never been into Jazz until listening to AJ sing it. She has made me appreciate Jazz
doesn't AJA also turn THIS brand of microphone backwards at times to get a different sound? Like here? Are the pick-ups on one side? If so, it may change the tone. I think some poster noticed the emblem on the mic was facing US and not her as it normally would.
