Toby knows full well that Angelina has no limitations when it comes to singing, and with him also being a genius in musicality, as we know Angelina is, the mark they will putting on their collaborations is going to be something to behold.
Ego's within the Major record companies will never change and have been the same since The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Angelina is the Diamond in the Crown and no one on this planet will stop that diamond breaking through, just timing.
Angelina is #1 in Europe, yet not only is she not at the top of the charts in this country, but she hasn’t been getting the recognition she deserves with R.R. Of course we all wish her our best.
It doesn't matter what label Angelina goes with, she is still worth Millions. Angelina will go on, even with Toby will still be the greatest singer. The record companies will compete to sign Angelina. Angelina is a once in a lifetime singer that will still rival many singers.I will always support her, no matter who she signs with. 😊😊❤❤❤
The unfortunate thing is that these days, being a great singer isn’t always a guarantee for success. There are several other Got Talent alumni that are also struggling to get that breakout. On the other hand there are some artists that don’t have half the talent Angelina has but have somehow broken through and resonate with the public. The question is how does Angelina do that?
Angelina knows what she's doing. Another Record company will step- up and get her on their label. And her and Toby can go on and make beautiful music. Angelina', never let anyone own you and your music. You will always be the Greatest! 😊😮😊❤❤❤❤
Liz, to give you a little more background info. Angelina was recording for her “album” for the most part in 2022. However, as we know, in 2023, a 6 song EP Old Enough was released, not an album. There was talk, even by Angelina herself, that a full album was still on the way. As of yet that has not happened. Fast forward to Spring 2024, Angelina announced that she has been working with producer Toby Gad and had recorded a cover of If I Were a Boy for Toby’s Piano Diaries album. In May they had a performance at the Hotel Cafe in LA where Angelina sang the song. While there they also debuted an original song Bad Valentine which Toby said would be released soon. A few months later in an interview, Toby admitted that he actually started working with Angelina in 2022. They recorded 8 original songs for her album, including Bad Valentine. In early 2023 Angelina told Toby that there was going to be an EP release. He asked if any of the songs they recorded were on the EP. She said no. He was very disappointed and disheartened especially because he said the label was very excited about the songs. He said that this lead to his decision to start his own label so he could release what he wanted to. This also lead to his Piano Diaries album project. After a reconciliation with Angelina he asked her to perform on his album. This also lead to the eventual release of Bad Valentine (in September) on Toby’s label. He must have gotten the rights from Republic. In fact the videos say that she appears “curtesy of Republic Records”. She has been in the studio recently with Toby, perhaps for his Piano Diaries 2 project. Some have speculated that she would join Toby’s label but he may not be in the position to sign artists at the moment. He seems, however, to be doing what he can to help push her career
My guess is that Angelina and family can’t decide what path to take going forward. Many, many options, but which one or ones. Lots of good things happening, but where is the breakout path? My prediction, continuation of the live concerts, maybe a permanent spot in Las Vegas, maybe an album. Path forward is “sing for the world “.
She has a large and loyal enough following to have her choice of either staying independent after a formal parting w/RR (those in similar situations often debut albums on the charts based on pre-sales, and can maintain that momentum, or naming her price and terms with any label she chooses. The problem with labels is that, whether from personnel changes or fickle execs changing priorities, your contract is only as good as the people executing the contract.
Remember Angelina is quite smart, it's part of her talent. She'll learn how to market her music in her own way. Angelina and Toby are a team they definitely will work it out!😮😊😊❤
When Angelina first signed with Republic Records, I subscribed to their newsletter. I watched it for any clue about what they were doing for her, and there was nothing. A few times I even asked them why they were not promoting her. They never responded, so this news does not come as a surprise. It's time for her career to really take off. Her team has probably found a company that will make that happen.
How could the streaming of AJ's Christmas Show and having a "Dream Team" of musicians at the LA Republic Records recording studio have taken place for AJ at 15 if they were supporting her? AJ’s Dream Team Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California, and he has been working with AJ since she signed with the largest record company in the world at the age of 14, four years ago. Rob was the MC of AJ Christmas Show that aired Dec 23, of 21. AJ’s Christmas Show that live-streamed on Dec 23 of 21 had some of the most important musicians of our time: Frank Sinatra's drummer for 6 years, and sun in-law of the late Henry Mancini, Greg Field has won 9 Grammys, and the bass player, Chuck Berghofer who also played for Sinatra for 6 years, and toured with Barbara Streisand, accompanied AJ on her Christmas Show, and they stated that she had the "storytelling ability of the greats, Streisand, Fitzgerald, Vaughan, including Sinatra, to name a few. The main pianist, a five-time nominated for Grammys, Shelly Berg, stated in all his years working with the greatest vocalist, he had never encountered a talent like AJ. Did I forget to mention Jimmy Z, the famous Sax Player who worked with Rod Steward, Etta James, the Eurythmics, and Doctor Dre, was part of the band for the show? Jimmy stated that AJ was the best he has ever played for. Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California played the guitar and was the MC of the show. (I can't list the complete backgrounds on all the band members because it would take several pages to do them justice.) Angelina stated that she would rather perform than take a breath, and she has never been forced to perform, it has been her decision. AJ now lives in West Hollywood in Los Angeles, where the record company Republic Records has built a separate music studio for her. She states, "I feel incredibly lucky to have been signed by one of the biggest record companies in the world. I have my own studio where I make my own music. There will also be a lot of concerts in the future because I have released an EP. I will soon go on a world tour and play my songs, (This was stated to TV2 in Norway on Aug. 21, 2023)) (CopyRight)
When I first heard about this, my thought was that if Angelina and her team really are dissatisfied with Republic Records it could be that they are not allowing her to release her material. We have been awaiting a full album from her for a while but last year only a 6 song EP was released instead. A few months after the EP release she teased that a full album was coming out “very soon”. Over a year later that has yet to materialize. We now know that there were at least 8 other songs (recorded with Toby Gad as producer) that were left unreleased. For all we know there may also be other songs recorded with other producers that were held back. Maybe she and her team are frustrated that they can’t get her music out there. If not for the two songs released this year through Toby’s label there may not have been any Angelina releases this year. I’m wondering what happens to the studio that Republic apparently built for her. I know fans are upset with the lack of promotion but as explained by Toby Gad, these days labels wait for a new artist to promote themselves and get that viral hit before the label promotes them. But even so, when the Old Enough EP was released Republic could have at least mentioned it on the Republic website and posted the two videos they produced.
Something's I greatly admire about Angelina, is her humbleness & how she remains true to the structure in her upbringing! She easily could've allowed fame & money turn her into a materialistic diva! Thank you, thank you, thank you Angelina Jordan for keeping true to your beginning's, remembering those who were stars before you. Angelina is loved by many! Whatever label picks her up next, has landed a gold mine!
To get rich you have to "work" a gold mine, which Republic Records failed to do. Had she stayed with them she would always remain a small venue/club singer
Angelina's picture and profile have been removed from Republic Records list of artists, on their website. That was our first hint. Chris Walker aka BigAngiefan, provided this information. I am sure we will learn more soon, especially at her Christmas concert, at the El Rey Theater, in Los Angeles, on December 14.
It will be interesting to see if Rob Christie is there A few weeks ago I checked the videos on the Republic website, after continually selecting “load more” I finally can across Million Miles. Not sure what that means. Maybe they forgot to remove it since it was kind of buried.
My hunch has been that RR happily kept Angelina low profile at her teams request, but not so happy to put the foot on the gas when AJ thought the time was right. Why? Who knows but maybe RR have been trying to protect their big assets like Swift.
IMO despite Angelina's immense talent, RR does not support her more because her niche of types of music does not correspond to their business vision. They probably boubt her profitability because of her repertoire wich does not fit to the same status of other artists like Ariana Grande or John Legend or even Taylor Swift who are deeply into commercial pop music . I hope I'm wrong but what we were able to observe from RR clearly shows their inaction towards Angelina.
@Raminagrobis-ty2wk I might agree with that if the new music she was recording was all in the jazz and old standards vein but her original music from the past few years could be considered more mainstream. Not too poppy that appeals to only the young teens like some of the current pop stars but more the type of my music that would appeal to a variety of age groups. As we have found out from Toby Gad, a label does not start to promote a new artist until the artist gets that big viral hit on their own which is not easy to do these days.
A good many of the expensive front row seats are still vacant. Perhaps because Christmas is right around the corner, and people have to think of their kids presents under the tree instead of treating themselves to the luxury of seeing Angelina perform.
Repuiblic forgot to promote her. She has said that albums were coming that never came. I hope she finds another label or starts her own that will give her the opportunity to excell.
I hope whatever record co. she signs with doesn't try to change her personality, her style of singing or her being humble. Too many singers have crashed and burned with too much notoriety. I'm sure her family will keep her grounded and do what is best for her.
It could also be that once AJ was moving forward with promoting herself RR was expecting AJ to strip down and prostitute herself for the fame like virtually all their other artists do and she wasn’t willing to do that. As she explained in her song Bad Valentine, if they only heard what they wanted to hear, she would mess up their heart. Who knows? What we do know is, she’s been forging her own path since she was 7 years old. I have every confidence that whatever it is she doing, in the end, it will work out the best for her.
Hi Liz 👋😇👍👌😊! Angelina spoke about betrayal at her live concert in Glendal! She was almost betrayed. She didn't say by who, but I suspect it was by REPUBLIK RECORDS! The only one at RR who stands by Angelina is Rob Christie, the RR music director, Angelina's mentor, and of course Toby Gad! Or Could also be because of her "father" Gery Slattman! Who was never interested or committed to Angelina's musical 😲 journey and her dream?? He was only there at the very beginning at the first NGT audition and was never seen again afterwards 🤷♂️! I think Angelina will now continue with Toby and his label "Gad / Songs Kite Music" and with his Diaries piano project! Which would be great for Angelina because Toby and Angelina together are a magic 💫💫 team in songwriting📝 and Angelina in singing 😲 and Toby on the piano 🎹! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Angelina as one of her biggest Angelina Angel 😇 and daily AJ "supporter" with all her AJ reactors and Angelina Angel 😇 and fans CHATS WORLDWIDE 🌍! Thanks for sharing this great video my fellow Angelina Angel 😇 ! great reactions and comments as always 👍👌😊! God 💥 protects Angelina our Angel 😇 and Toby 😇 and the whole Astar 🌟 Angels 😇 family!

She deserves it a thousand times over 😊 !
Those who talked to her mother Sara at the concert said that she confirmed that the song Thank You and the “betrayal” she spoke about before she performed the song was in regards to her father and her parents’ divorce.
@@rogergraetzer5992 It could be both Republic AND her father. Though Rob Christie was playing with the band in Glendale. I wonder if he will continue to support her in his personal capacity?❤️❤️❤️❤️👣
@@pjg58xWas Sara talking about Jordan’s biological father or Gerry Slattman? She didn’t specify and nobody knows anything about her birth circumstances.
I'm going to make a bit of a wild claim here. Angelina is an artist who I cannot envisage using autotune when she sings or performs live. There are many leading artists for Republic Records and UA for whom that constraint does not apply - and the companies do not want their growing use of autotune to be highlighted, and to undermine future sales from their current top stars. Recording companies are primarily driven by profit - artistry and integrity take a lower place in their priorities. Frankly, I think that there has been a conflict of interest between Angelina's career and the strategic goals of RR and its holding company - hence the need for this buyout.
I think Angelina needs new management, she should be playing live every week somewhere. She's never going to have a tight band if they only play a few times a year.
I don’t think that’s practical at this time. The ticket sales have been a little slow for the few concerts that she has had the past year and a lot of those attending are from out of town and even out of the country. To have concerts every week she would need a large enough local following for that to even work. I don’t think she’s at that point yet. She’s still relatively unknown to the general public.
Truth, I've said this as well and that standard approach makes for establishing a reputation in the business. Eventually it's about who you know inside and in the right conditions. Team Angie is affluent and this may be interfering with the ways of a shady exploitive industry. Does she remain virtuous or sell her soul for fame? We shall see, she's a big girl now.
🎼🎼🎼✴Liz, So glad you survived the numerous typhoons that the Philippines has been subjected to in the last couple of weeks. If your time allows, please join fellow Angles on Michael Gladstones live stream, who hosts Angelina Jordan for a cause on his channel The Real Shakes P, also broadcasting from the Philippines. The best to you and yours this Christmas season. ♾Rb
Pienso que sería espectacular que siguiera trabajando con Toby Gad, recuerdo cuando el dijo que sería capaz de dejar todo y crear un sello discográfico, con el solo propósito de trabajar y componer junto a Angelina.
Yes sweetie exactly what you're trying to say is that Republic records didn't promote her like she needed to be promoted and they held her back to a point that she got tired of it and they had to buy themselves out of it because they were not going to promote her to her best ability so I'm sorry to be so abrupt and everything but it is what it is and they should have done a better job of promoting her and they didn't
I was saying that was a big mistake getting in republic records for years, I don't understand how Michael don't see that coming they never make an effort to promote her, and now time is passing by, they need to put the gears on working and do something fast before is to late.
What did Republic Records do to Brake her Trust of them? Ok, let’s say she’s Paid the Contract, next question is (and Angelina will tell us after January 1st) which Label will she join? We all have guesses, so here’s my guess: The new Label Toby Gad created so he could release Bad Valentine, I think Angelina and Toby paid her Contract off and are joining together to Own and manage the Label,
I thought Republic was honoring the wishes of her family to not push her too far too fast? They sure seemed to bend over backwards to accommodate her. And it seems odd to me that multiple, multiple versions of her newest songs are being “released”. Trying to find the best way forward? And the constant flow of short singing clips? Absolutely no doubt about her amazing voice and talent. Towards what path or paths? Kinda waiting for the breakout! In the end, perhaps Republic was unable to determine and convince Angelina and family of the best path to achieve breakout.
All of that is just a humor...until we heard it from Angelina and her team..including them paying millions to buy out her contract. Angelina being not in RR list of artists anymore could be a hint but it wont tell us the fact of everything. And yes, when you heard someone saying they have the reliable sources thats when you must remind yourself to not quickly fall into it. Cause what it only does is to add more questions and confusions without providing a single factual answer.
Il problema forse è che Repubblic ha altri artisti e ha messo Angelina in aspettativa :prego si metta in coda ha detto....Ma Angelina ha fretta come noi suoi fan.Spero faccia i passi giusti e che Dio la protegga.
@osovagabundo1 I feel like you're on the right track. I sense a "darker" side to artists like Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj, both of whom are among the Republic recording artists. Like many popular recording artists, and actors, their fame and fortune harkens all the way back to bluesman Robert Johnson and his meeting with the "devil" at the Crossroads to help him (Robert) master his guitar playing. That "agreement" to thrust musicians and actors to stardom continues to this day. In fact, I've never even been a fan of the thumbnail photo that Angelina has posted on her UA-cam channel. It feels like it has some "negative" energy behind it. I absolutely love Angelina, her music and her family, but I've been concerned about the possible hidden agendas Republic Records might have so "expertly" disguised that her uncle/manager, Michael Astar, was not aware of when he agreed to Angelina's contract. Regardless of the reason(s), it's all good! 💕❤💕
You may dance with others, but you go home with those who brought you! (I would hate to think that an accusation by Chris that AJ is not happy with Republic Records would cause problems for AJ with her record label.) AJ's journey in the music industry has been marked by significant milestones, including the pivotal signing with Republic Records. With Rob Christie, a Grammy-winning producer, at the helm as AJ's A&R representative, a series of successful concerts across the United States were orchestrated, showcasing the breadth of Christie's industry influence and expertise. The notable exception was the concert in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Christie's role in assembling the dream team for the December 2021 Christmas Show further cemented his reputation as a key player in the industry. AJ's collaboration with other renowned producers affiliated with Universal Music and Republic Records, such as RedOne and Toby, indicates a strong network of industry support, which is instrumental for any artist's growth and success in the competitive realm of music. This synergy between AJ, Christie, and other top-tier producers under the Universal Music umbrella is a testament to the promising trajectory of AJ's musical career.
I had experience in the music business back in the late 50's; I am puzzled about what AG is doing , business wise..Does she even have experienced personal mgt,,,experienced people in the booking biz? The USA IS SO VERY COMPETITIVE, in the first place,,,and AG IS NOT A POP ARTIST AT ALL! I have followed her from day one, now, and she is my personal favorite female singer, but she is A JAZZ SINGER AND THAT IS A DIFFERENT BALLGAME IN THE STATES!.She is never going to go the route of pop in America..TAYLOR.SWIFT, ETC ARE A DIFFERENT AUDIENCE and NOT AN ANGELINA TYPE AUDIENCE!. So, having no input into her personal mgt '''team'', I can't add anything except it is GLARINGLY OBVIOUS OLDER PEOPLE ARE LOVING HER AND I DON'T SEE YOUNGER AUDIENCES GOING FOR HER! I AM 86 years old, myself..and I LOVE HER!...But top notch PR, MGT, AND TALENT BOOKING AGENCIES ARE WHERE SHE IS GOING TO HAVE TO GO, BEFORE MAKING IT BIG HERE IN THE STATES..!
Thank you, Jimmy, for sharing your thoughts and your experience in the music business-it’s always valuable to hear insights from someone who’s been in the industry, especially during such a formative era. Your perspective adds an important layer to the conversation about Angelina Jordan’s career. Firstly, Angelina has recently demonstrated significant confidence and autonomy by buying out her contract with Republic Records. This bold move highlights her commitment to shaping her career on her own terms and aligns with her long-term vision. While the U.S. music market is highly competitive-particularly for artists outside of traditional pop genres-Angelina is not confined to the jazz label. Her ability to blend jazz, soul, blues, and pop elements makes her versatile and capable of reaching broader audiences. Artists like Adele, Norah Jones, and Amy Winehouse have shown that this kind of crossover appeal can lead to significant success. Regarding her audience, the data might surprise you. 64.6% of her listeners are female, and 66.6% are under the age of 35, with nearly 30% under 24 years old. Only 0.1% of her listeners are over 65. This shows that she is resonating with younger audiences, despite perceptions that her appeal skews older. Her presence on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and UA-cam plays a crucial role in engaging younger demographics, which is how many music fans discover new artists today. Lastly, while it's true that navigating the U.S. market requires experienced management, PR, and booking teams, Angelina's journey so far suggests she has a strategic plan. Building a lasting career, especially in a niche like hers, often means taking a slower, more deliberate path rather than chasing quick fame. With her talent, vision, and evolving fan base, Angelina is positioning herself for success-not just in the U.S., but globally. It’s early days, but her trajectory so far suggests that she has the potential to surprise us all, whether in jazz, crossover, or entirely new territory. Your passion for her music and concern for her success are clear, and it’s always encouraging to see fans as invested as you are. Let’s see where her journey takes her-she has the talent and vision to make an impact that lasts for decades to come!

Are you pretending like you are talking to this guy? I saw this same "breaking news video" something like a week to 10 days ago. I can't remember exactly when, but it was here on you tube and I have not seen anything about this issue since and wasn't sure if it was for real. Seems like there are some people trying to "horn in" and take credit for promoting Angelina when they really have nothing to do with her. Like taking advantage of her talent, if not for the monetary value, then at least for the glory of it. If she is trying to get out of the contract with RR then that means she has good reason to do so and I wish her well. Her family and she herself seem pretty savvy and are aware of these pitfalls. Angelina is a talent beyond belief and one of the most caring humans on this planet. I am an avid fan and I hope for the best for her.
This came out 2 weeks ago and nothing has been said about it after that. Something you might think about; The Christmas Show on the 14 of December has Rob Christie involved in the show, and he is heavily involved with Republic Records / United Music, so I question this as even being real. Sounds like BS.
This is old news from Big Angie, but it is good she is leaving RR. She has so much new competition from other new female singers coming up in 2025. One in particular is 2024 American Idol singer ABI CARTER who has the endorsement of Billie Ellish which will give her a huge boost. Angelina will never become a household name just performing in small venues.
I am glad Angelina is not going to be signed with Republic. I think their influence was bad for Angelina. Her style seemed to change and I didn’t really think it matched her level of talent.
I live in the US. I am not a fan of hers. I do not dislike her. This video came across my timeline and made me curious. Out side of UA-cam, I have never seen any promotion for Angelina, since she was on the talent shows. That may be because I am siloed, but if I am it was not on purpose. She could benefit from being pushed more mainstream I think.
Mainstream POP music? Three reasons to explain why Angelina will never be a Mainstream POP singer in US. First, she cannot belt high at all when singing the ending of the song 'The Phantom Of The Opera', and thats why she has no young girl fans her age. Second, she cannot dance like Celine Dion. Third, she got her grandmother inside her body, thats why her fans are mostly old men, because they are Angelina's grandmother's AGE.
Her having lack of promotion is something many of Angelina's fans have been questioning for some time. Have you heard any of her EP Old Enough? To me, much of it seems very contemporary.

Rumors are dangerous. Facts are your friends. Sara controls every aspect of AJ life. Nothing transpires unless it is blessed by Sara. Sara is dating thus having to share her time with other men and the two girls. Sara lives off the money generated by AJ. We have witnessed over and over again family members struggle in the entertainment industry. Any advancement or stagnation of AJ's career is directly attributed to Sara. Sara calls all the shots for AJ.
Oh, Betty, your comment is a shining example of baseless speculation wrapped in a thin veneer of faux concern. Let's address this with facts, since you seem to have misplaced yours. First, the idea that Sara "controls every aspect" of Angelina's life is both laughable and demonstrably false. Sara and Michael share management duties, ensuring Angelina's career grows at a steady, sustainable pace. From the interview, we know Angelina herself is actively involved in her career decisions: "I get to know about everything that happens around and with me," she said. Does that sound like someone who's a puppet? Or is this just another tired narrative about "controlling mothers" you're trying to force-fit? Second, the claim that Sara "lives off Angelina's money" is a conspiracy so threadbare it's embarrassing. The family's wealth was established long before Angelina became a household name. Sara's first husband worked in the Norwegian oil industry, and let's not forget Grandma-a renowned artist whose work could probably buy your entire worldview. So no, they're not funding their lives by "milking" Angelina's career. But thanks for the financial advice; I'm sure they'll treasure it. Now, let's talk about money and priorities. If the goal were to cash in on Angelina's talent, wouldn't she be plastered all over every talk show, singing chart-topping pop hits? Instead, the family has consistently chosen to protect and nurture her identity. As Sara stated in an interview: "Angelina wants to sing jazz. She will do this even if someone thinks she should adapt to a commercial market." That's called integrity-something you might want to look into before accusing others of lacking it. And as for your pearl-clutching about Sara "dating," here's a reality check: Paul proposed to her over a year ago. Adults in loving relationships aren't exactly headline-worthy, and managing to spend time with both her daughters and her fiancé doesn't make Sara a neglectful parent-it makes her a balanced one. But I get it: the idea of someone having a life outside your little drama script must be overwhelming. Lastly, your suggestion that Sara's decisions will determine Angelina's career advancement or stagnation is laughable. The family has gone above and beyond to preserve Angelina's authenticity and ensure she grows at her own pace. Turning down a lucrative record deal and refusing to perform at a presidential inauguration? Not exactly the moves of money-hungry opportunists, are they? Pro tip: "Rumors are dangerous," as you so eloquently put it, but they become downright toxic in the hands of people who prefer them over truth. Facts are, indeed, your friends, and I suggest you invite them over more often. Until then, I'd recommend leaving the psychoanalysis to the professionals.

That makes the family's decision even more commendable in maintaining Angelina’s neutrality and integrity. And you’re most probably right about the financial side of things. With all the costs involved in staging concerts, travel, production, band, backup singers, rehearsals and everything else, they’re likely not seeing much profit yet-if any. It’s clear the focus is on building her career and artistic identity rather than making quick money.
Three things indicate that Angelina should focus on her Jazz music career instead of trying to be a POP MUSIC SUPERSTAR in US. First, she cannot belt high at all when singing the ending of the song 'The Phantom Of The Opera', and thats why she has no young girl fans her age. Second, she cannot dance like Celine Dion. Third, she got her grandmother inside her body, thats why her fans are mostly old men, because they are Angelina's grandmother's AGE.
@ouioui_lounge If she were 30, you might be right, but not at 18. The majority of today's POP MUSIC SUPERSTAR are in their thirties and had their breaks in their mid-twenties. First, Phantom of the Opera is not the kind of music that attracts young girls. Besides, few pop singers can sing in this classical/operatic style. Second, does Celine Dion dance? A few dance steps here and there, but it's not her forte. Third, it's true that on UA-cam, Angelina's fans are rather older: most of her songs on YT before the age of 15 are covers of songs from the 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s, which explains this. The younger generation are found on other media. But I remember reading that on SoundCloud and TikTok, over 50% of her audience is aged between 28 to 34, and mostly female.
@@thierrymoore8016 I dont think Angelina gains age 28 to 34 Toby Gad's fans already, I have not seen any of them shown up in the WishBUS roadshow in LA.
@@thierrymoore8016 Very good news for you 😂😂😂 This is from an Angelina's fans databank - "Regarding her audience, the data might surprise you. 64.6% of her listeners are female, and 66.6% are under the age of 35, with nearly 30% under 24 years old. Only 0.1% of her listeners are over 65. This shows that she is resonating with younger audiences, despite perceptions that her appeal skews older."
@@ouioui_lounge Are these stats reliable? Where can I find this data? A web address would be appreciated if you could provide it. I had read similar statistics somewhere and was surprised. Like you, I was under the impression, based on comments on YT and her most devoted fans who are rather older on that medium, that her fans were mainly in the 60+ age bracket. But Angelina is now more present on TikTok and other media, preferred by youngers but less so by older ones. I'm 34, I've been a fan since the pandemic, I often go on TikTok and other media, where she's very active.
She will never be a star in the US. She was an absolute phenomenon as a child, but how she sings now, how she acts now, and a seeming inability to do interviews will leave her career going nowhere but to the gray- haired fans who continue to worship their barefoot angel.
@@lesbrunswick5137 If Bad Valentine should become the hit she needs,then she should be on all the top talk shows, radio stations,and be see on all the covers of top magazine covers while waiting in line at the checkout lines at all major supermarket chains.
Some of the Angels are more about themselves posting junk about AJ than supporting AJ. Jazz in 1% of the music industry. Yes, an artist can make a living and a name if they so desire. Sara controls all of AJs life now. If and when AJ breaks the hold, then she may become known. Very few of us know of AJ. I ask employees at work if they know AJ and almost 100% have never heard the name. And I am not certain that is the direction AJ desires. A Record Label is a for profit business. A financial return is required for artists.
Toby knows full well that Angelina has no limitations when it comes to singing, and with him also being a genius
in musicality, as we know Angelina is, the mark they will putting on their collaborations is going to be something
to behold.
Ego's within the Major record companies will never change and have been the same since The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Angelina is the Diamond in the Crown and no one on this planet will stop that diamond breaking through, just timing.
Angelina is #1 in Europe, yet not only is she not at the top of the charts in this country, but she hasn’t been getting the recognition she deserves with R.R. Of course we all wish her our best.
Could you tell me where you got the #1 in Europe information. I've looked everywhere and can't find her mentioned at all.
Absolutly wrong. She is not No. 1 in Europe (maybe in Norway). Where are the facts?🤨
@@richmiller4306 You are right! Some comments are very weird.l
Her new releases sell well in Europe.
@@charlesanderson1966 But No.1 in Europe? I hope the day will come!
It doesn't matter what label Angelina goes with, she is still worth Millions. Angelina will go on, even with Toby will still be the greatest singer. The record companies will compete to sign Angelina. Angelina is a once in a lifetime singer that will still rival many singers.I will always support her, no matter who she signs with. 😊😊❤❤❤
The unfortunate thing is that these days, being a great singer isn’t always a guarantee for success. There are several other Got Talent alumni that are also struggling to get that breakout. On the other hand there are some artists that don’t have half the talent Angelina has but have somehow broken through and resonate with the public. The question is how does Angelina do that?
Angelina knows what she's doing. Another Record company will step- up and get her on their label. And her and Toby can go on and make beautiful music. Angelina', never let anyone own you and your music. You will always be the Greatest! 😊😮😊❤❤❤❤
Liz, to give you a little more background info. Angelina was recording for her “album” for the most part in 2022. However, as we know, in 2023, a 6 song EP Old Enough was released, not an album. There was talk, even by Angelina herself, that a full album was still on the way. As of yet that has not happened.
Fast forward to Spring 2024, Angelina announced that she has been working with producer Toby Gad and had recorded a cover of If I Were a Boy for Toby’s Piano Diaries album. In May they had a performance at the Hotel Cafe in LA where Angelina sang the song. While there they also debuted an original song Bad Valentine which Toby said would be released soon.
A few months later in an interview, Toby admitted that he actually started working with Angelina in 2022. They recorded 8 original songs for her album, including Bad Valentine.
In early 2023 Angelina told Toby that there was going to be an EP release. He asked if any of the songs they recorded were on the EP. She said no. He was very disappointed and disheartened especially because he said the label was very excited about the songs. He said that this lead to his decision to start his own label so he could release what he wanted to. This also lead to his Piano Diaries album project. After a reconciliation with Angelina he asked her to perform on his album. This also lead to the eventual release of Bad Valentine (in September) on Toby’s label. He must have gotten the rights from Republic. In fact the videos say that she appears “curtesy of Republic Records”.
She has been in the studio recently with Toby, perhaps for his Piano Diaries 2 project.
Some have speculated that she would join Toby’s label but he may not be in the position to sign artists at the moment. He seems, however, to be doing what he can to help push her career
My guess is that Angelina and family can’t decide what path to take going forward. Many, many options, but which one or ones. Lots of good things happening, but where is the breakout path? My prediction, continuation of the live concerts, maybe a permanent spot in Las Vegas, maybe an album. Path forward is “sing for the world “.
She has a large and loyal enough following to have her choice of either staying independent after a formal parting w/RR (those in similar situations often debut albums on the charts based on pre-sales, and can maintain that momentum, or naming her price and terms with any label she chooses. The problem with labels is that, whether from personnel changes or fickle execs changing priorities, your contract is only as good as the people executing the contract.
Remember Angelina is quite smart, it's part of her talent. She'll learn how to market her music in her own way. Angelina and Toby are a team they definitely will work it out!😮😊😊❤
Angelina forever
God bless Angelina and Family.....all will go fine, I am sure.....
When Angelina first signed with Republic Records, I subscribed to their newsletter. I watched it for any clue about what they were doing for her, and there was nothing. A few times I even asked them why they were not promoting her. They never responded, so this news does not come as a surprise. It's time for her career to really take off. Her team has probably found a company that will make that happen.
How could the streaming of AJ's Christmas Show and having a "Dream Team" of musicians at the LA Republic Records recording studio have taken place for AJ at 15 if they were supporting her?
AJ’s Dream Team
Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California, and he has been working with AJ since she signed with the largest record company in the world at the age of 14, four years ago. Rob was the MC of AJ Christmas Show that aired Dec 23, of 21. AJ’s Christmas Show that live-streamed on Dec 23 of 21 had some of the most important musicians of our time: Frank Sinatra's drummer for 6 years, and sun in-law of the late Henry Mancini, Greg Field has won 9 Grammys, and the bass player, Chuck Berghofer who also played for Sinatra for 6 years, and toured with Barbara Streisand, accompanied AJ on her Christmas Show, and they stated that she had the "storytelling ability of the greats, Streisand, Fitzgerald, Vaughan, including Sinatra, to name a few. The main pianist, a five-time nominated for Grammys, Shelly Berg, stated in all his years working with the greatest vocalist, he had never encountered a talent like AJ. Did I forget to mention Jimmy Z, the famous Sax Player who worked with Rod Steward, Etta James, the Eurythmics, and Doctor Dre, was part of the band for the show? Jimmy stated that AJ was the best he has ever played for. Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California played the guitar and was the MC of the show. (I can't list the complete backgrounds on all the band members because it would take several pages to do them justice.) Angelina stated that she would rather perform than take a breath, and she has never been forced to perform, it has been her decision. AJ now lives in West Hollywood in Los Angeles, where the record company Republic Records has built a separate music studio for her. She states, "I feel incredibly lucky to have been signed by one of the biggest record companies in the world. I have my own studio where I make my own music. There will also be a lot of concerts in the future because I have released an EP. I will soon go on a world tour and play my songs, (This was stated to TV2 in Norway on Aug. 21, 2023)) (CopyRight)
When I first heard about this, my thought was that if Angelina and her team really are dissatisfied with Republic Records it could be that they are not allowing her to release her material. We have been awaiting a full album from her for a while but last year only a 6 song EP was released instead. A few months after the EP release she teased that a full album was coming out “very soon”. Over a year later that has yet to materialize.
We now know that there were at least 8 other songs (recorded with Toby Gad as producer) that were left unreleased. For all we know there may also be other songs recorded with other producers that were held back. Maybe she and her team are frustrated that they can’t get her music out there. If not for the two songs released this year through Toby’s label there may not have been any Angelina releases this year.
I’m wondering what happens to the studio that Republic apparently built for her.
I know fans are upset with the lack of promotion but as explained by Toby Gad, these days labels wait for a new artist to promote themselves and get that viral hit before the label promotes them. But even so, when the Old Enough EP was released Republic could have at least mentioned it on the Republic website and posted the two videos they produced.
I love her music and she i a fantastic talent, I wish her the best in the future ❤
Something's I greatly admire about Angelina, is her humbleness & how she remains true to the structure in her upbringing! She easily could've allowed fame & money turn her into a materialistic diva! Thank you, thank you, thank you Angelina Jordan for keeping true to your beginning's, remembering those who were stars before you. Angelina is loved by many! Whatever label picks her up next, has landed a gold mine!
@@joshualroose6197 All this attack on materialism is nonsense. How do you expect someone to survive without material goods like food and clothing?
To get rich you have to "work" a gold mine, which Republic Records failed to do. Had she stayed with them she would always remain a small venue/club singer
@@leebrn8588 Why? Not necessarily
What about Taylor Swift, Ariande Grande, Stevie Wonder, or Post Malone? They're not small venue.
Angelina's picture and profile have been removed from Republic Records list of artists, on their website. That was our first hint. Chris Walker aka BigAngiefan, provided this information. I am sure we will learn more soon, especially at her Christmas concert, at the El Rey Theater, in Los Angeles, on December 14.
It will be interesting to see if Rob Christie is there
A few weeks ago I checked the videos on the Republic website, after continually selecting “load more” I finally can across Million Miles. Not sure what that means. Maybe they forgot to remove it since it was kind of buried.
I just noticed that she updated her Spotify profile, and no longer mentiones Republic Records in it
@@most2dot0 thanks
I had always wondered how Republic was going to make money when all her songs come out on UA-cam for free. I buy them all anyway.
@@kenmacphee7400 Excellent!!!
😅The Best is yet to come from Queen Angelina Jordan! She’s THE BEST ❤️❤️❤️❤️😊 Love her
As a top supporter of AJ, I’d like to see her do more interviews, let fans know what’s going on not only with business side but with her personally.
That might be a good idea in fact as I think about it I believe it is.
Thanks for the info, your great!❤
Angelina es ÚNICA, que voz, madre mia!!!! Que manera de comunicar la música 🎼🎼🎼🎼❤❤❤❤❤
My hunch has been that RR happily kept Angelina low profile at her teams request, but not so happy to put the foot on the gas when AJ thought the time was right. Why? Who knows but maybe RR have been trying to protect their big assets like Swift.
IMO despite Angelina's immense talent, RR does not support her more because her niche of types of music does not correspond to their business vision. They probably boubt her profitability because of her repertoire wich does not fit to the same status of other artists like Ariana Grande or John Legend or even Taylor Swift who are deeply into commercial pop music . I hope I'm wrong but what we were able to observe from RR clearly shows their inaction towards Angelina.
@Raminagrobis-ty2wk I might agree with that if the new music she was recording was all in the jazz and old standards vein but her original music from the past few years could be considered more mainstream. Not too poppy that appeals to only the young teens like some of the current pop stars but more the type of my music that would appeal to a variety of age groups. As we have found out from Toby Gad, a label does not start to promote a new artist until the artist gets that big viral hit on their own which is not easy to do these days.
It needed to happen. Republic didn't do much of anything for her as far as I can tell.
I am excited for her Christmas/ Holiday concert🎄🌟❣ Who else is going December 14th???
See you there
A good many of the expensive front row seats are still vacant. Perhaps because Christmas is right around the corner, and people have to think of their kids presents under the tree instead of treating themselves to the luxury of seeing Angelina perform.
Repuiblic forgot to promote her. She has said that albums were coming that never came. I hope she finds another label or starts her own that will give her the opportunity to excell.
they just put her on hold so that Taylor lip singer can give them millions.
I hope whatever record co. she signs with doesn't try to change her personality, her style of singing or her being humble. Too many singers have crashed and burned with too much notoriety. I'm sure her family will keep her grounded and do what is best for her.
It could also be that once AJ was moving forward with promoting herself RR was expecting AJ to strip down and prostitute herself for the fame like virtually all their other artists do and she wasn’t willing to do that. As she explained in her song Bad Valentine, if they only heard what they wanted to hear, she would mess up their heart. Who knows?
What we do know is, she’s been forging her own path since she was 7 years old. I have every confidence that whatever it is she doing, in the end, it will work out the best for her.
You obviously haven't been watching her tiktok videos - looks like a streetwalking hooker in many of them.
People have various ideas about why this is happening. Perhaps someday we will get the story directly from Angelina and her crew
Well, as of today, that's still in rumor status.
Hi Liz 👋😇👍👌😊! Angelina spoke about betrayal at her live concert in Glendal! She was almost betrayed. She didn't say by who, but I suspect it was by REPUBLIK RECORDS! The only one at RR who stands by Angelina is Rob Christie, the RR music director, Angelina's mentor, and of course Toby Gad! Or Could also be because of her "father" Gery Slattman! Who was never interested or committed to Angelina's musical 😲 journey and her dream?? He was only there at the very beginning at the first NGT audition and was never seen again afterwards 🤷♂️! I think Angelina will now continue with Toby and his label "Gad / Songs Kite Music" and with his Diaries piano project!

Those who talked to her mother Sara at the concert said that she confirmed that the song Thank You and the “betrayal” she spoke about before she performed the song was in regards to her father and her parents’ divorce.

@@rogergraetzer5992 It could be both Republic AND her father. Though Rob Christie was playing with the band in Glendale. I wonder if he will continue to support her in his personal capacity?❤️❤️❤️❤️👣
@@pjg58xWas Sara talking about Jordan’s biological father or Gerry Slattman? She didn’t specify and nobody knows anything about her birth circumstances.
I'm going to make a bit of a wild claim here. Angelina is an artist who I cannot envisage using autotune when she sings or performs live. There are many leading artists for Republic Records and UA for whom that constraint does not apply - and the companies do not want their growing use of autotune to be highlighted, and to undermine future sales from their current top stars. Recording companies are primarily driven by profit - artistry and integrity take a lower place in their priorities. Frankly, I think that there has been a conflict of interest between Angelina's career and the strategic goals of RR and its holding company - hence the need for this buyout.
"We are made to persist... That's how we find out who we are.!!!" - Tobias Wolff [ Ms. Angelina Angel Fan's Family Worldwide ] DD.
I think Angelina needs new management, she should be playing live every week somewhere. She's never going to have a tight band if they only play a few times a year.
I don’t think that’s practical at this time. The ticket sales have been a little slow for the few concerts that she has had the past year and a lot of those attending are from out of town and even out of the country. To have concerts every week she would need a large enough local following for that to even work. I don’t think she’s at that point yet. She’s still relatively unknown to the general public.
@@pjg58x It's kind of a catch-22 because if she wants to grow a local following she needs to play out. Even if it's in small clubs and bars.
Truth, I've said this as well and that standard approach makes for establishing a reputation in the business. Eventually it's about who you know inside and in the right conditions. Team Angie is affluent and this may be interfering with the ways of a shady exploitive industry. Does she remain virtuous or sell her soul for fame? We shall see, she's a big girl now.

Pienso que sería espectacular que siguiera trabajando con Toby Gad, recuerdo cuando el dijo que sería capaz de dejar todo y crear un sello discográfico, con el solo propósito de trabajar y componer junto a Angelina.
Yes sweetie exactly what you're trying to say is that Republic records didn't promote her like she needed to be promoted and they held her back to a point that she got tired of it and they had to buy themselves out of it because they were not going to promote her to her best ability so I'm sorry to be so abrupt and everything but it is what it is and they should have done a better job of promoting her and they didn't
So it's a fact now? Rumor becomes fact when you hear about it?
I was saying that was a big mistake getting in republic records for years, I don't understand how Michael don't see that coming they never make an effort to promote her, and now time is passing by, they need to put the gears on working and do something fast before is to late.
What did Republic Records do to Brake her Trust of them? Ok, let’s say she’s Paid the Contract, next question is (and Angelina will tell us after January 1st) which Label will she join? We all have guesses, so here’s my guess: The new Label Toby Gad created so he could release Bad Valentine, I think Angelina and Toby paid her Contract off and are joining together to Own and manage the Label,
I thought Republic was honoring the wishes of her family to not push her too far too fast? They sure seemed to bend over backwards to accommodate her. And it seems odd to me that multiple, multiple versions of her newest songs are being “released”. Trying to find the best way forward? And the constant flow of short singing clips? Absolutely no doubt about her amazing voice and talent. Towards what path or paths? Kinda waiting for the breakout! In the end, perhaps Republic was unable to determine and convince Angelina and family of the best path to achieve breakout.
All of that is just a humor...until we heard it from Angelina and her team..including them paying millions to buy out her contract. Angelina being not in RR list of artists anymore could be a hint but it wont tell us the fact of everything. And yes, when you heard someone saying they have the reliable sources thats when you must remind yourself to not quickly fall into it. Cause what it only does is to add more questions and confusions without providing a single factual answer.
Il problema forse è che Repubblic ha altri artisti e ha messo Angelina in aspettativa :prego si metta in coda ha detto....Ma Angelina ha fretta come noi suoi fan.Spero faccia i passi giusti e che Dio la protegga.
Look at the roster at republic and its a skin show. I wonder if thats a requirement
@osovagabundo1 I feel like you're on the right track. I sense a "darker" side to artists like Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj, both of whom are among the Republic recording artists. Like many popular recording artists, and actors, their fame and fortune harkens all the way back to bluesman Robert Johnson and his meeting with the "devil" at the Crossroads to help him (Robert) master his guitar playing. That "agreement" to thrust musicians and actors to stardom continues to this day. In fact, I've never even been a fan of the thumbnail photo that Angelina has posted on her UA-cam channel. It feels like it has some "negative" energy behind it. I absolutely love Angelina, her music and her family, but I've been concerned about the possible hidden agendas Republic Records might have so "expertly" disguised that her uncle/manager, Michael Astar, was not aware of when he agreed to Angelina's contract. Regardless of the reason(s), it's all good! 💕❤💕
You may dance with others, but you go home with those who brought you! (I would hate to think that an accusation by Chris that AJ is not happy with Republic Records would cause problems for AJ with her record label.)
AJ's journey in the music industry has been marked by significant milestones, including the pivotal signing with Republic Records. With Rob Christie, a Grammy-winning producer, at the helm as AJ's A&R representative, a series of successful concerts across the United States were orchestrated, showcasing the breadth of Christie's industry influence and expertise. The notable exception was the concert in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Christie's role in assembling the dream team for the December 2021 Christmas Show further cemented his reputation as a key player in the industry. AJ's collaboration with other renowned producers affiliated with Universal Music and Republic Records, such as RedOne and Toby, indicates a strong network of industry support, which is instrumental for any artist's growth and success in the competitive realm of music. This synergy between AJ, Christie, and other top-tier producers under the Universal Music umbrella is a testament to the promising trajectory of AJ's musical career.
Yeah, Boris, that Harrisburg concert sure was a notable exception. Goof.
I had experience in the music business back in the late 50's; I am puzzled about what AG is doing , business wise..Does she even have experienced personal mgt,,,experienced people in the booking biz? The USA IS SO VERY COMPETITIVE, in the first place,,,and AG IS NOT A POP ARTIST AT ALL! I have followed her from day one, now, and she is my personal favorite female singer, but she is A JAZZ SINGER AND THAT IS A DIFFERENT BALLGAME IN THE STATES!.She is never going to go the route of pop in America..TAYLOR.SWIFT, ETC ARE A DIFFERENT AUDIENCE and NOT AN ANGELINA TYPE AUDIENCE!. So, having no input into her personal mgt '''team'', I can't add anything except it is GLARINGLY OBVIOUS OLDER PEOPLE ARE LOVING HER AND I DON'T SEE YOUNGER AUDIENCES GOING FOR HER! I AM 86 years old, myself..and I LOVE HER!...But top notch PR, MGT, AND TALENT BOOKING AGENCIES ARE WHERE SHE IS GOING TO HAVE TO GO, BEFORE MAKING IT BIG HERE IN THE STATES..!
Thank you, Jimmy, for sharing your thoughts and your experience in the music business-it’s always valuable to hear insights from someone who’s been in the industry, especially during such a formative era. Your perspective adds an important layer to the conversation about Angelina Jordan’s career.
Firstly, Angelina has recently demonstrated significant confidence and autonomy by buying out her contract with Republic Records. This bold move highlights her commitment to shaping her career on her own terms and aligns with her long-term vision. While the U.S. music market is highly competitive-particularly for artists outside of traditional pop genres-Angelina is not confined to the jazz label. Her ability to blend jazz, soul, blues, and pop elements makes her versatile and capable of reaching broader audiences. Artists like Adele, Norah Jones, and Amy Winehouse have shown that this kind of crossover appeal can lead to significant success.
Regarding her audience, the data might surprise you. 64.6% of her listeners are female, and 66.6% are under the age of 35, with nearly 30% under 24 years old. Only 0.1% of her listeners are over 65. This shows that she is resonating with younger audiences, despite perceptions that her appeal skews older. Her presence on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and UA-cam plays a crucial role in engaging younger demographics, which is how many music fans discover new artists today.
Lastly, while it's true that navigating the U.S. market requires experienced management, PR, and booking teams, Angelina's journey so far suggests she has a strategic plan. Building a lasting career, especially in a niche like hers, often means taking a slower, more deliberate path rather than chasing quick fame. With her talent, vision, and evolving fan base, Angelina is positioning herself for success-not just in the U.S., but globally. It’s early days, but her trajectory so far suggests that she has the potential to surprise us all, whether in jazz, crossover, or entirely new territory.
Your passion for her music and concern for her success are clear, and it’s always encouraging to see fans as invested as you are. Let’s see where her journey takes her-she has the talent and vision to make an impact that lasts for decades to come!

Are you pretending like you are talking to this guy? I saw this same "breaking news video" something like a week to 10 days ago. I can't remember exactly when, but it was here on you tube and I have not seen anything about this issue since and wasn't sure if it was for real. Seems like there are some people trying to "horn in" and take credit for promoting Angelina when they really have nothing to do with her. Like taking advantage of her talent, if not for the monetary value, then at least for the glory of it. If she is trying to get out of the contract with RR then that means she has good reason to do so and I wish her well. Her family and she herself seem pretty savvy and are aware of these pitfalls. Angelina is a talent beyond belief and one of the most caring humans on this planet. I am an avid fan and I hope for the best for her.
This came out 2 weeks ago and nothing has been said about it after that. Something you might think about; The Christmas Show on the 14 of December has Rob Christie involved in the show, and he is heavily involved with Republic Records / United Music, so I question this as even being real. Sounds like BS.
Do we know for sure that Rob Christie is involved?
There was no sign of Rob Christie at any rehearsal footage we saw, nor at the concert.
Perhaps her family wants to keep her away from the pushback from new hollywood and music and universal revelations
Are you kidding me? Do you watch the tiktok stuff coming out of that family - nothing but Kardashian wannabe. AJ, mom and Juliette.
This is old news from Big Angie, but it is good she is leaving RR. She has so much new competition from other new female singers coming up in 2025. One in particular is 2024 American Idol singer ABI CARTER who has the endorsement of Billie Ellish which will give her a huge boost. Angelina will never become a household name just performing in small venues.
Grace VanderWaal is performing at the Kennedy Center. This is where Angelina Jordan belongs!!
I am glad Angelina is not going to be signed with Republic. I think their influence was bad for Angelina. Her style seemed to change and I didn’t really think it matched her level of talent.
So far this is just a rabid rumour by Chris with absolutely no facts to back it up.
I live in the US. I am not a fan of hers. I do not dislike her. This video came across my timeline and made me curious. Out side of UA-cam, I have never seen any promotion for Angelina, since she was on the talent shows. That may be because I am siloed, but if I am it was not on purpose. She could benefit from being pushed more mainstream I think.
Mainstream POP music?
Three reasons to explain why Angelina will never be a Mainstream POP singer in US.
First, she cannot belt high at all when singing the ending of the song 'The Phantom Of The Opera', and thats why she has no young girl fans her age.
Second, she cannot dance like Celine Dion.
Third, she got her grandmother inside her body, thats why her fans are mostly old men, because they are Angelina's grandmother's AGE.
Her having lack of promotion is something many of Angelina's fans have been questioning for some time. Have you heard any of her EP Old Enough? To me, much of it seems very contemporary.
@@ouioui_lounge Bei dem, was zur Zeit in den USA politisch ganz oben steht ist es für mich fraglich, ob die US das Zielgebiet sein sollte. Innerlich gesund zu sein und dann zu seinen Werten zu stehen hat für mich eine größere Bedeutung.
@ouioui_lounge When has she sung Phantom of the Opera?
Since when was Celine Dion known to be a dancer?
Some Angelina's fans ask me about Angelina singing the ending of the song 'The Phantom Of The Opera' and Celine Dion's dance, so I explain here.
Angelina has 1000 voices, but which voice can she belt high when singing the ending of the song 'The Phantom Of The Opera'?
The POP voice
'Amira Willighagen & Ruhan du Toit - The Phantom Of The Opera (Live at Lexus Pop Classics 2023)'
The METAL voice
'NIGHTWISH - The Phantom Of The Opera (OFFICIAL LIVE)'
The MUSICAL voice
'Phantom of the Opera - Sierra Boggess & Ramin Karimloo (Classic BRIT Awards 2012)'
'Celine Dion - Stayin Alive/You Should Be Dancing (Live from "Au Coeur Du Stade" 1999) HD UPSCALED'
1999, you are too young to remember.
I dont know if Angelina can cover 'Whole Lotta Love' like Karolina Protsenko
'I Ask if She Knows Led Zeppelin and This Violinist Steals The Show'
Her family owns an Iranian oil company... all Grandma had to do was write a check.
What olive oil? 😂

Celine Dion takes away Angelina's shoes, poor Angelina has to sing BAREFOOTED.

Celine Dion told Angelina "You Should Be Dancing", more than few steps on the stage.

All these videos prove Angelina will never be a POP MUSIC SUPERSTAR now and 10 years after, competition is and will still be very high in US.
Young girls Angelina's age do like Rita Ora's dentist work thumbnail.

Young girls Angelina's age also like this dance, best POP MUSIC choreography since 2012.

Not you, I am writing to those young girl fans under 35 who they are shown up in the databank of an Angelina's fan.
"Regarding her audience, the data might surprise you. 64.6% of her listeners are female, and 66.6% are under the age of 35, with nearly 30% under 24 years old. Only 0.1% of her listeners are over 65. This shows that she is resonating with younger audiences, despite perceptions that her appeal skews older. Her presence on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and UA-cam plays a crucial role in engaging younger demographics, which is how many music fans discover new artists today."
@ouioui_noclue Stop plagiarizing my comments. Given your proclivity for simple-mindedness, I'll let it slide this time. For your information, the data doesn’t come from some personal database-it’s publicly available to everyone, though not free of charge.
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Do not worry, those young girl fans under 35 have their own ears to listen to any POP MUSIC singer.
Stop with this screeching mumble-mouth thing....
Enjoy your favourite " pitch corrected " artist . Sad troll .

Rumors are dangerous. Facts are your friends. Sara controls every aspect of AJ life. Nothing transpires unless it is blessed by Sara. Sara is dating thus having to share her time with other men and the two girls. Sara lives off the money generated by AJ. We have witnessed over and over again family members struggle in the entertainment industry.
Any advancement or stagnation of AJ's career is directly attributed to Sara. Sara calls all the shots for AJ.
Absolutely - She and Michael will never let their cash cow get away.
betty You wrote: " Sara lives off the money generated by AJ." Based on your first two statements, please tell us the source of this claim.
Oh, Betty, your comment is a shining example of baseless speculation wrapped in a thin veneer of faux concern. Let's address this with facts, since you seem to have misplaced yours.
First, the idea that Sara "controls every aspect" of Angelina's life is both laughable and demonstrably false. Sara and Michael share management duties, ensuring Angelina's career grows at a steady, sustainable pace. From the interview, we know Angelina herself is actively involved in her career decisions: "I get to know about everything that happens around and with me," she said. Does that sound like someone who's a puppet? Or is this just another tired narrative about "controlling mothers" you're trying to force-fit?
Second, the claim that Sara "lives off Angelina's money" is a conspiracy so threadbare it's embarrassing. The family's wealth was established long before Angelina became a household name. Sara's first husband worked in the Norwegian oil industry, and let's not forget Grandma-a renowned artist whose work could probably buy your entire worldview. So no, they're not funding their lives by "milking" Angelina's career. But thanks for the financial advice; I'm sure they'll treasure it.
Now, let's talk about money and priorities. If the goal were to cash in on Angelina's talent, wouldn't she be plastered all over every talk show, singing chart-topping pop hits? Instead, the family has consistently chosen to protect and nurture her identity. As Sara stated in an interview: "Angelina wants to sing jazz. She will do this even if someone thinks she should adapt to a commercial market." That's called integrity-something you might want to look into before accusing others of lacking it.
And as for your pearl-clutching about Sara "dating," here's a reality check: Paul proposed to her over a year ago. Adults in loving relationships aren't exactly headline-worthy, and managing to spend time with both her daughters and her fiancé doesn't make Sara a neglectful parent-it makes her a balanced one. But I get it: the idea of someone having a life outside your little drama script must be overwhelming.
Lastly, your suggestion that Sara's decisions will determine Angelina's career advancement or stagnation is laughable. The family has gone above and beyond to preserve Angelina's authenticity and ensure she grows at her own pace. Turning down a lucrative record deal and refusing to perform at a presidential inauguration? Not exactly the moves of money-hungry opportunists, are they?
Pro tip: "Rumors are dangerous," as you so eloquently put it, but they become downright toxic in the hands of people who prefer them over truth. Facts are, indeed, your friends, and I suggest you invite them over more often. Until then, I'd recommend leaving the psychoanalysis to the professionals.
@@descent-gp5my Informative, astute and a very well-written comment. A couple of add-ons: The Trump turn-down was about AJ appearing at 60+ campaign rallies. And Betty's comment about living off AJ's money: What money? What with the staging of her concerts (and all else involved) and considering the attendance and proceeds from those concerts, I question whether the bottom line is black.
@@103mrg Thanks, I appreciate the corrections and the additional context. I didn’t know the Trump turn-down extended to an offer for 60+ campaign rallies. That makes the family's decision even more commendable in maintaining Angelina’s neutrality and integrity.
And you’re most probably right about the financial side of things. With all the costs involved in staging concerts, travel, production, band, backup singers, rehearsals and everything else, they’re likely not seeing much profit yet-if any. It’s clear the focus is on building her career and artistic identity rather than making quick money.
Three things indicate that Angelina should focus on her Jazz music career instead of trying to be a POP MUSIC SUPERSTAR in US.
First, she cannot belt high at all when singing the ending of the song 'The Phantom Of The Opera', and thats why she has no young girl fans her age.
Second, she cannot dance like Celine Dion.
Third, she got her grandmother inside her body, thats why her fans are mostly old men, because they are Angelina's grandmother's AGE.
@ouioui_lounge Repeating your comment again and again doesn't make it any less idiotic.
@ouioui_lounge If she were 30, you might be right, but not at 18. The majority of today's POP MUSIC SUPERSTAR are in their thirties and had their breaks in their mid-twenties.
First, Phantom of the Opera is not the kind of music that attracts young girls. Besides, few pop singers can sing in this classical/operatic style.
Second, does Celine Dion dance? A few dance steps here and there, but it's not her forte.
Third, it's true that on UA-cam, Angelina's fans are rather older: most of her songs on YT before the age of 15 are covers of songs from the 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s, which explains this. The younger generation are found on other media. But I remember reading that on SoundCloud and TikTok, over 50% of her audience is aged between 28 to 34, and mostly female.
@@thierrymoore8016
I dont think Angelina gains age 28 to 34 Toby Gad's fans already, I have not seen any of them shown up in the WishBUS roadshow in LA.
@@thierrymoore8016
Very good news for you 😂😂😂
This is from an Angelina's fans databank - "Regarding her audience, the data might surprise you. 64.6% of her listeners are female, and 66.6% are under the age of 35, with nearly 30% under 24 years old. Only 0.1% of her listeners are over 65. This shows that she is resonating with younger audiences, despite perceptions that her appeal skews older."
@@ouioui_lounge Are these stats reliable? Where can I find this data? A web address would be appreciated if you could provide it. I had read similar statistics somewhere and was surprised. Like you, I was under the impression, based on comments on YT and her most devoted fans who are rather older on that medium, that her fans were mainly in the 60+ age bracket. But Angelina is now more present on TikTok and other media, preferred by youngers but less so by older ones. I'm 34, I've been a fan since the pandemic, I often go on TikTok and other media, where she's very active.
She will never be a star in the US. She was an absolute phenomenon as a child, but how she sings now, how she acts now, and a seeming inability to do interviews will leave her career going nowhere but to the gray- haired fans who continue to worship their barefoot angel.
I agree she needs to learn to do interviews. Maybe Toby Gad can teach her some things here, as he is exceptionally good at them.
@@lesbrunswick5137 If Bad Valentine should become the hit she needs,then she should be on all the top talk shows, radio stations,and be see on all the covers of top magazine covers while waiting in line at the checkout lines at all major supermarket chains.
Some of the Angels are more about themselves posting junk about AJ than supporting AJ. Jazz in 1% of the music industry. Yes, an artist can make a living and a name if they so desire. Sara controls all of AJs life now. If and when AJ breaks the hold, then she may become known. Very few of us know of AJ. I ask employees at work if they know AJ and almost 100% have never heard the name. And I am not certain that is the direction AJ desires. A Record Label is a for profit business. A financial return is required for artists.
