You said it exactly... If you're going to do a cover, don't do it like the original. Angelina is so great at taking existing songs and making them into new songs. She's never trying to be 'better' than the original, she's only ever trying to honor the message of the original in her own special ways. She takes the lyrics of a song and she sings them in the way that she feels them. She relates them to her own life and experiences. This is what make her such an authentic artist. This is what draws us in and holds us there for a couple minutes while she sings.
Great analysis. I’ve listened to this many times in the past few days, and it’s hypnotically beautiful. What I’ve noticed after many plays is the symmetry: the soft piano is the intro and the outro. Also, Angelina starts and ends with the same verse, and it’s not how Elvis starts: “Oh, let our love survive…”. And she sings that verse differently each time, from that stunning opening where she really leans into the lyrics with such strength and volume to the ending where it’s very breathy, melancholy, and personal. She tells a story like no one else, and her voice is just stunning in every genre.
She sings so beautiful it just puts chills right through your body in the minute she starts singing I’ve never heard anyone else like her in my life she’s gifted❤️👨🏻🦳❤️
H, about the piano. You're hearing Rob Christie's perfectly tuned, miked and equalized piano from his home studio as shown in Angelina's "Million Miles" and "Easy on Me" videos. In another life, he was a classically trained pianist. Now he is head of Republic Records LA studio and Angelina's musical mentor. He is dressed here in a costume worn by Elvis' backup band in his comeback special.
@@HofTheStage Yeah, I play piano as well and have seen some amazing pianists that play extremely difficult songs like Chopin well. But I've never seen anyone handle a simple tune with the feeling like Rob does in all these songs he's done with Angelina. Many listeners equate good singing with the belting of high notes and good piano with fast and intricate pieces. These two haven't gotten caught up in such expectations and give us delicate and intimate music that is all about eliciting a feeling.
@@robertvirnig638 Angelina and family were so lucky to have Rob Christie take Angelina under his wing. Since we are talking about Elvis I guess Rob Christie would be Colonel Parker, only without taking 50% of all she earns. Rob Christie is giving of himself and his years of experiance in order to guide Angelina to a successful career.
@@103mrg I'd love to see that! Do you know what the title of it is? Just so you know, if you try to send me a link to it that doesn't take me to UA-cam, UA-cam will probably block your reply back to me. So if your reply doesn't show up, you'll know what happened.
Angelina is a breath of fresh air! Huge artists can sing their heart out, b I do not feel it. I often don’t even get the meaning of the song/lyrics. She gets me from her first note, and she has actually taken us on a musical journey these years from she was 7-9. Would u consider analyzing I put a spell on you? How is it possible to produce such rich, deep vocals. She is now 178 cm on her feet, at 16. You are right! Art. I feel as her voice is the brush & I am the canvas, she actually paints a picture in my head. It is a complete joy how she covers old classics. Never thought it would be possible that a cover is better than the original. So this is about her. Here, she tells the story behind Elvis’ Suspicious minds. Nothing is out of place, from the Blue suede shoes, uncovering old treasures, the attire, the Priscilla hairdo down to the pianist. Ps: she told in an interview yesterday that her goal is to portray the meaning of everything she sings. With only her voice, piano, guitar and extremely good microphones, we can enjoy the voice and each instrument. She must be a treasure chest for professionals, and already so many pro musicians wants to work w her. Also, she writes and paints. She makes her own sketches and get them turned into clothes. She says that what she wears when performing, must visually match the song, so this is not something they pick up in stores. Like the beautiful gown at Allsang på Grensen, I have nothing- …
Marie She's 186 cm. And there were no blue suede shoes in this video!!! Elvis' blue suede shoes were brogues with laces. They were not ankle boots with a high heel like the silver boots Angelina wore in this video.
Great reaction. New sub. My theory is she reads the lyrics to a song first before hearing the music. This allows her to understand what the artist is trying to express. Then she does the best arrangement to allow her to squeeze the most emotion and soul out of that song while respectfully sharing the original artists message. And yes she is the greatest hummer in the world.
What a glorious production, praise to everyone involved, so perfect for Angelina Jordan she rules the universe with her talent. Again, the great talent of Rob Christie playing the piano. The Cinemaphotography, a total MASTERPIECE. Great touch, the cousins and sister get a cameo. Mery, you should be so proud, AJ's grandma produced this. Excellent ART Cole McCarthy! (This red guitar is identical to the one Elvis played in his 1968 concert on TV.) Oh, the tears, and loss of breath, she is like no other in the universe. Here is a classic example of what this ethereal talent, Angelina Jordan, can achieve she takes a mundane song and turns it in to phenomenal classic. Angelina at 16 is the MASTER of her universe, she is top priority for both Stargate, and Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California. Rob has been playing the piano on most of AJ's studio production performances. AJ's voice has been unique since she was 7 years old and now at 16, she controls us as an audience, leaving us hang on every word and phrase. She has written a number of songs.
Angelina never ceases to amaze me, at just how incredibly talented she is, and that she can take her voice to newer levels, we have never heard before.....there is something so special about her ability, to tell the songs story, allowing us to listen with a new perspective, and hear & feel emotions, we may not have heard from the original artist 💖💖💖
!What a voice....WOW. What a beautyful rendition, so majestic and impeccable. God bless her.. And of course I do apprecite your words concerning Angelina, She deserves all the attention due to her incredible talent which IMHO it's unique .
… ELVIS and ANGELINA... my absolute favourites!! … What a great tribute to the King! Elvis would be honored and speechless 😮!! … I can't even describe how incredibly good these two are!!… Phenomenal!! ✨💎✨ 🕺🏻🎸🕯Thank you
What a rendition! Her Gandma Mery produced this. Looks like she used the same store she used for her My Funny Valentine video! Her sister Juliette was the older girl. The 2 younger girls are her Uncle Mike's kids, and, 2 time Grammy winner Rob Christie on piano. What a great cover! The beehive hairstyle was to honor Priscilla Presley and the time period she met Elvis. The red guitar is the same model Elvis used. I was not expecting this! Funny thing is, this was almost 4 minutes, but it flew by and felt short! Going to listen to it again! 16 years old….Wow!!! What a performance!
This is my 74th time experiencing this video, and each and every time it gets better. We must give credit to the support team behind this phenom. There is no one on earth that can match the talent of this STORYTELLER. AJ deconstructs a song then reconstruct it to make each individual hearing it feel it was written for them, a love letter to their comfort zone.
This arrangement was all Angelina, I have no doubt. She is a Master Storyteller. I believe the girls in the video represent Angelina's Journey from infancy to present through the classics of music history. Thus the Antique store, She grew up studying and performing these classics. Did you notice that right foot raise it''s heal to cradle the guitar a couple of times in the performance. I was waiting for her to throw in a little shake to it in homage to the King. Could that have been intentional? That is Rob Christie on piano. Sister Juliette and a couple of Uncle Michael's Babies. I think that makes them cousins not nieces. Full Black Leather Bodysuit, the guitar from his concert in 68 and the hair a homage to Priscilla Presley. Yeah! She brings tears to your eyes don't she? Epic. Incredible. There are no words. Epic! Wow, Wow, Wow! Could it be more Beautiful? ♥👣👸🏻🎷 Yeah she doing a Concert in Norway this month! Album to drop soon! So much to look forward to.♥👣👸🏻🎷
excellent analysis...angelina's mother and grandmother designed and built the set. gallery is owned by a friend of angelina's family. her grandmother also produced the video.
If she maintains this progression in 10 years she will be able to enchant the audience of a theater for two hours alone on the stage, where her statuary and charismatic presence is enough to fill it, accompanying herself with the guitar or the piano. Hypnotizing the audience by telling them old and new stories and making them live a unique mystical experience. Of Angelina it has been said that she is the reincarnation of various artists of the past, for me she is the reincarnation of the ancient and mythical bards.
Usually when she is singing a corner in back of my mind reminds me how impressive her voice is for her age. With this one her voice is so mature I forget how young she is.
Absolutely what I expected. She made this her own song and she did it beautifully. I noticed Juliet sitting there she is going to be as beautiful as Angelina one day. Elvis' version is great and it always was, and it still is one of my favorites. but Angelina's version is equally great and is definitely her own. When I first heard this song I loved it and put it at #3 on my playlist (Angelina Jordan Playlist by Terry M.), about midday I moved it up to #1. The main thing that changed my mind was the power in her voice. I'm not talking about loudness I'm talking about the power she has regardless of how loud or soft she sings. This is a quality that I haven't heard from anyone in my 82 years. This voice has become so unique that it is totally unmatched.
Your absolutely right, I have heard everything this young lady has ever done , Her early work like what a difference a day makes , at last, and summertime will astound you. Listening to jazz at home living with grandma who had it playing all the time, I can imagine her thinking to herself, I can do that and it will sound even better. I don't say this often, But she is a genius although she would never admit to that.
What a wonderful reaction H. Sitting here, listening to this stunningly beautiful vocalist has me totally mesmerized, think I stopped breathing for 3 minutes. The attention to detail, the Pricilla Presley hair, the Elvis leather suit and Elvis red comeback guitar, everything is pure eloquence and Class at the highest level. Cheers, stay well.
Rob Christie Playing Piano: That dude playing the piano is 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, two 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.
Angelina is the greatest artist that ever walked the earth and she’s only 17. This world has been blessed by her unbelievable talent. She brings me to tears every time I listen. She is the GOAT! The barefoot angel has just started to spread her wings. ❤😢😮
The pianist is Rob Chrisite, 2 time Grammy winner the head of Republic Records and Paramount Music Studios and they signed Angelina in 2015. They've made her a priority.
Fantastic reaction and she has notably done that to several Iconic songs, "Bohemium Rhapsody", "Yellow Brick Road", and "Feeling Good", for example and there are many more. I have always said she is the Master of Music with the Chops to go with it, God Bless!
The tribute to everything Elvis in this was amazing. The black outfit and the red guitar he used in his 1968 comeback concert, to the Priscilla hairstyle. Rob Christie the Grammy Award winning Studio Director for Republic Records wearing the red suit like the back up singers as he once again played piano for Angelina. I have seen comments about Blue Suede shoes, but after watching this at least a hundred times, I can't find them. All I see are silver/gray sparkly boots. I also have seen different "opinions" as to the meaning of having her cousins and sister in the video, but until someone can produce something to back that, it's just opinion/speculation. I was never a big Elvis fan, but this young lady has "re-invented" many songs that I never cared for or just wouldn't listen to, and made them some of my favorites.
On contemplating the imagery of her cousins and sister as they appear in the video. What has come to mind for me, is the fact that we are born, we grow, we live and we die, and we are all caught in this same trap of life. And I sensed a plea not to spend our precious time in doubt and suspicion of each other.
@AngelinasDarkAngel, I can relate to one part of your comment. Never being in the popular clique. I wasn't in any clique 50 years ago, so never really concerned myself with what others thought since then. It's not an opinion, I see what I see. At the 0:11 mark of the original video, as she strolls in I see silver gray boots. At the 0:21 mark before she pull the cloth from the piano, I get a glimpse of what I see as a silver gray boot. At the 2:14 mark as she sits on the sofa or whatever that was called by the upper class back then, I see silver gray boots. Now in this one, I can possibly convince myself they are two different shades, but I still can't see blue suede. It is possible that my prescription on my glasses needs strengthened, but as much attention that was taken to the suit, the guitar, the hair style and Rob Christie's red suit, all paying tribute to Elvis's Comeback Concert from 1968, I can't see why they would have stuck blue suede shoes from 1956 or 1960 in to this video. I could be wrong, but just like the rumor that goes around about why her demo of "I'm Still Holding Out For You" was never released, until something is shown to back that up, to me it's someone's opinion, since she has sang other songs before and after dealing with suicide and death. And yes, that is my opinion.
🌟💛👍🏼 🎶🎵😊 I really like the gentle clear way you reviewed Angelina here. I learned some things and saw new perspectives. Angelina’s versions of songs just make so much sense to my senses! New listener to your channel, liked and subscribed for the way you reviewed!
I grew up listening to Elvis and I really liked his music but it never effected me like it does when Angelina covers his music. This song was a big hit for Elvis and I've heard it a million times but Angelina's cover reaches in and pulls at the old heart strings in a way that Elvis never did.. She not only sings great but also has a way of making you feel a song in every fiber of your body... What a great cover..!!!
This is a musical masterpiece. Just like everything else she does. After hearing Angelina's covers of Adeles songs i much perfer to listen to Angelina's versions. I can connect with Angelina's version. The musical journey she takes you on is extremely addictive. This beautiful young lady's talent is fare beyond anyone I've seen in today's world
Your analysis is in detail for me you're one of the best reactor of Angie lm blown away also she's still a teen my god I'm 70 yo now I'm like baby crying love your great reaction thanks bro.
I'm always fascinated by what Angelina makes of songs with her unique voice. This is the high art of singing. I would like Angelina to do a version of Andra Days Rise Up. Thank you very much for your reaction and best regards from Germany.🙂👍
You notice small and charming details, that is amazing to hear. We learn something New, everytime from each og you, and yours are indeed very interesting to hear. Angelina is constantly amazing me, and this maybe 40th times I have listen to Suspicious mind, and each time it gives me that nostalgic feeling I so long for, in my solitude, I love being pensive and reflective and this is definitely what Angelina is doing in our life, she is enriching our lives through her beautiful and soulful interpretation and story-telling her very own way about life an
New and Enjoyed Your Reaction Angelina Jordan A star is Captivating with her Scooping You up and Soothingly loving you. ❤️ A wonderful way to Pay Homage to Elvis. This Reminds me of His Life back in the Eara of 1966-1968. The Guitar is Elvis's and the Black Leather Jump suit again Elvis. The Bouffant or Beehive all Pricilla and the girls reminds me of lil Lisa Back then. Bravo Angelina Your Voice is Truly Captivating and you are a true Devine Gift from God's Heavenly Choir.
Really enjoyed your reaction... It's not surprising but much appreciated when you touch of the details you noticed and point out their overall impact on the rendition... I've always believed that EXCELLENCE IS IN THE DETAILS, and our Angel is aware of each one ensures is perfection in her performance... This is truly a beautifully sung treat for the ears... And one can immediately spot her grandma's hand in the production... almost always family may be included, in this case her 2 nieces and her sister, Juliette, (who may I say is growing up in the traditional beautiful way) that her big Sis is doing... enjoy the quiet moments you'll listen to this again.....and AGAIN 😉🙌🏻🎤🎹🎶🎵.
She makes you feel the music. Besides being beautiful and gifted as a singer she does what most singers don’t. She reaches in a pulls at your soul. You feel every note and her tone is so unbelievable. I’m glad I’m living in the era where I saw the legendary Angelina jordon born
Loved your reaction so much, she is something so special. What can you really say to describe her. I guess just every good word there is. LOL. Always look forward to your reactions of Angelina. 👍👍👍
besides the music and the singing some the visual details are really amazing too, Rob Christie's red uniform, AJ's Pricilla hair, her leather suit and very, very expensive guitar among just a few besides her 2 nieces and sister.
H…first time I have heard one of your reactions. Fantastic break down on her song and what she is doing to to create the sound as well as the music. Really enjoyed it. Thanks.
Thanks, always appreciate new people here! Share the video around to help the channel grow and subscribe for more! Ps, there are a few more Angelina reactions on the channel so check them out ;)
Angelina Jordan is an ORACLE Oracles have existed in human form in every culture around the world. Many are still noted in our time, such as the Oracles at Delphi in Greece, the Chief Oracle of Tibet, and the Oracles of ancient Egypt, but there are countless examples. They are the remnants in our minds of a time in which we all remembered. How else can we explain the hypnotic effect this creature has on all who dare experience her?
There we go again Princess ❤️.. you're teaching everyone...you are my vocal teacher my musical teacher..my stage teacher.. your beautiful ways... they're seeing your signature... They will learn them..for you're already a Legend..they have to know you GO PRINCESS❤❤..the your Legend is coming into light to everyone now..I'm telling you people... Angelina Jordan (Princess ❤️)is a Legend already
What Elvis had as a bridge between Angelina's book ends she started it out in power mode and then she finished it off and total word by word emotion mode. The part that Elvis normally starts out with fast it's fast about being caught in a trap ends up becoming her core as I believe.... The really is the bridge. And of course all this leaves you seriously wanting MORE !!!
She the story teller in music. It’s unbelievable in her interpretation of song. She is special and there are very very few vocalist like her. We are fortunate to have an artist like her in our life time. What is crazy is that she only 16 years old.
Thank you for another excellent and heartfelt reaction to Angelina. The song was written by Mark James. In the Wikipedia entry of the origins of the song, he is said to have remarked "That late one night, he was fooling around on his Fender guitar and using his Hammond organ pedals for a bass line and came up with what he thought was a catchy melody. At the time, he was married to his first wife but still had feelings for his childhood sweetheart, who was married back in Houston. James's wife had suspicions about his feelings. He felt it was a confusing time for him and that all three were "caught in this trap that they could not walk out of." and, in my mind, Angelina's rendition is much truer to the lyrics than any other singer, including Elvis. The children appearing in the video were Angelina's cousins - daughters of her uncle Michael Astar, and then her sister Juliette. I would hazard a guess that they were included to emphasise that children are very important to Angelina and her family. Confession! I have never been a great fan of Elvis Presley, although I do like some of his earlier recordings, and I had never heard of the song "Suspicious minds" but knew that Angelina would completely take ownership of it, and she did. It was beautiful. After listening to it several times, I decided to download the lyrics to see whether she kept to the original structure. She didn't, and the song is all the better for it. I paste below the order in which Angelina sung the verses. "Suspicious minds" Angelina Jordan - lyrics rearranged. (1) Oh let our love survive I'll dry the tears from your eyes Let's don't let a good thing die When honey, you know I've never lied to you (2) We're caught in a trap I can't walk out Because I love you too much baby (3) Why can't you see What you're doing to me When you don't believe a word I say? (4) We can't go on together With suspicious minds And we can't build our dreams On suspicious minds (5) So, if an old friend I know Stops by to say hello Would I still see suspicion in your eyes? (6) Here we go again Asking where I've been You can't see these tears are real I'm crying (Yes, I'm crying) (7) We can't go on together With suspicious minds And we can't build our dreams On suspicious minds (8) Oh let our love survive I'll dry the tears from your eyes Let's don't let a good thing die When honey, you know I've never lied to you
Her short yet prolific experiences in jazz standards taught her great phrasing and masterful onsets and offsets. From early on she was emoting and not just hitting the notes. From this all hher releases sound like we’ve been listening our whole lives. Instant solid classics. Even her original new works are firmly grounded in great songwriting disciplines. She’s fresh and nostalgic at once and this gives her placements an endless feild of choices for delivery. What more can you ask for to make high quality classy great music. I have two other artists that i can listen to every day.
She is so musically intelligent, mature, and reaches the heart with the pared down emphasis on the truth being communicated---the poetry, so to speak. It is warm, rich....
Wonderful reaction! Thanks! So on point! I like your remarks about singing is more than good technique! 👍 If there is anything to say about Angelina it's that she is far more than just technique! As young as she is, she knows how to convey emotions and tell a story. She uses her voice optimal to do so, with the most tasteful runs, inflections and dynamics. And what a warm voice. Love it!
Well .. you have stepped right into the best reaction I have heard of this song. I have seen at least 40-some .. and you just addressed every aspect of this extraordinary cover by this magnificent artist. It would take me an hour to really point out all the things that I appreciated that you saw, that you spoke about, that you truly had valuable things to say about. You heard all the pieces Angelina, our Master storyteller .. always makes sure she brings out in a song .. truth .. emotional truth .. we feel the sadness, the LOVE, the yearning for a deeper love without suspicion .. Her voice being as beautifully developed as it is, it almost always can surprise you. It sure did on the very first phrase of this cover. Amazing. So I'm not going to say anything else but will say to whoever might read this .. watch this reaction again. There is so much in it. I only know H from his name but H is wise and honest and profound. Listen to this song again and to H and what he hears and sees in this stunning cover of Suspicious Minds and what he hears in our beautiful Angelina's technique and brilliance. Sigh ...
The ability of the voice is almost like a reflection of the soul. Her pure singing voice touches us and touches our hearts in a way that is unlike anything else....... ❤

Alice Coopers "Poison" always intreguied me, but he doesnt have the powerful voice for it. A dark strong voice like hers would do wonders to the song
I want to hear her do 'Miss Celie's Blues'! It's a Quincy Jones song and he loves her so maybe???? I really enjoy your reactions ❤️
ooops thats more than one =)
Angie... by Stones. 😉
Cryin' by Roy Orbison
You said it exactly... If you're going to do a cover, don't do it like the original. Angelina is so great at taking existing songs and making them into new songs. She's never trying to be 'better' than the original, she's only ever trying to honor the message of the original in her own special ways. She takes the lyrics of a song and she sings them in the way that she feels them. She relates them to her own life and experiences. This is what make her such an authentic artist. This is what draws us in and holds us there for a couple minutes while she sings.
But Elvis version is a cover. Pretty much same as Mark James ORIGINAL and it worked out pretty good. But not as good as Angelina version
Elvis to Priscilla: ? Angelina to her mother (turning away when questioned about a date with a friend)
Your analysis very exactly!!!! Bravo!!!
Angelina makes every cover ,New song!!!
GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!
No other female singer can move me like Angelina. 😵💫 she's sensational. Untouchable. A child prodigy.
Angelina is her own genre.
Angelina doesn't do covers she makes magic ✨✨✨ wild bill
Look what she did with Bohemian Rhapsody, even the originators, Queen thought it was out of this world. AJ is truly a genius.
👍🏼👍🏼🌟👍🏼👍🏼
Great analysis. I’ve listened to this many times in the past few days, and it’s hypnotically beautiful. What I’ve noticed after many plays is the symmetry: the soft piano is the intro and the outro. Also, Angelina starts and ends with the same verse, and it’s not how Elvis starts: “Oh, let our love survive…”. And she sings that verse differently each time, from that stunning opening where she really leans into the lyrics with such strength and volume to the ending where it’s very breathy, melancholy, and personal. She tells a story like no one else, and her voice is just stunning in every genre.
She sings so beautiful it just puts chills right through your body in the minute she starts singing I’ve never heard anyone else like her in my life she’s gifted❤️👨🏻🦳❤️
Her humming is one of the many things I love about Angelina's singing. Nobody does it better 😎
Totally agree Mike. Her humming in her live performance of "I Have Nothing" is so strong....lovely!
I Love ❤️ your Analogy of AJ’s Cover of Elvis Suspicious Minds! You are So Right On H. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
H, about the piano. You're hearing Rob Christie's perfectly tuned, miked and equalized piano from his home studio as shown in Angelina's "Million Miles" and "Easy on Me" videos. In another life, he was a classically trained pianist. Now he is head of Republic Records LA studio and Angelina's musical mentor. He is dressed here in a costume worn by Elvis' backup band in his comeback special.
Best piano sound I've ever heard, and me being a pianist as well, that says a lot :)
@@HofTheStage Yeah, I play piano as well and have seen some amazing pianists that play extremely difficult songs like Chopin well. But I've never seen anyone handle a simple tune with the feeling like Rob does in all these songs he's done with Angelina. Many listeners equate good singing with the belting of high notes and good piano with fast and intricate pieces. These two haven't gotten caught up in such expectations and give us delicate and intimate music that is all about eliciting a feeling.

Angelina is a breath of fresh air! Huge artists can sing their heart out, b I do not feel it. I often don’t even get the meaning of the song/lyrics. She gets me from her first note, and she has actually taken us on a musical journey these years from she was 7-9.
Would u consider analyzing I put a spell on you? How is it possible to produce such rich, deep vocals. She is now 178 cm on her feet, at 16.
You are right! Art. I feel as her voice is the brush & I am the canvas, she actually paints a picture in my head.
It is a complete joy how she covers old classics. Never thought it would be possible that a cover is better than the original. So this is about her. Here, she tells the story behind Elvis’ Suspicious minds. Nothing is out of place, from the Blue suede shoes, uncovering old treasures, the attire, the Priscilla hairdo down to the pianist.
Ps: she told in an interview yesterday that her goal is to portray the meaning of everything she sings. With only her voice, piano, guitar and extremely good microphones, we can enjoy the voice and each instrument. She must be a treasure chest for professionals, and already so many pro musicians wants to work w her.
Also, she writes and paints. She makes her own sketches and get them turned into clothes. She says that what she wears when performing, must visually match the song, so this is not something they pick up in stores. Like the beautiful gown at Allsang på Grensen, I have nothing- …
She is higher than 178 cm, at 13 years old at AGT, she was at least 182 cm.
Marie She's 186 cm. And there were no blue suede shoes in this video!!! Elvis' blue suede shoes were brogues with laces. They were not ankle boots with a high heel like the silver boots Angelina wore in this video.
Marie, please, where I can find this interview? Thank you!
She’s playing a 1967 Hagstrom Viking II just like Elvis had in his 68 tv special.
Thanks for this excellent reaction and analysis. No artist has ever moved me the way Angelina does.
Great reaction. New sub.
My theory is she reads the lyrics to a song first before hearing the music.
This allows her to understand what the artist is trying to express.
Then she does the best arrangement to allow her to squeeze the most emotion and soul out of that song while respectfully sharing the original artists message.
And yes she is the greatest hummer in the world.
Love your reaction to our aj she has the talent of the greatest ever I hope I live long enough to see how her talent emerges so so good
What a glorious production, praise to everyone involved, so perfect for Angelina Jordan she rules the universe with her talent. Again, the great talent of Rob Christie playing the piano. The Cinemaphotography, a total MASTERPIECE. Great touch, the cousins and sister get a cameo. Mery, you should be so proud, AJ's grandma produced this. Excellent ART Cole McCarthy! (This red guitar is identical to the one Elvis played in his 1968 concert on TV.) Oh, the tears, and loss of breath, she is like no other in the universe. Here is a classic example of what this ethereal talent, Angelina Jordan, can achieve she takes a mundane song and turns it in to phenomenal classic. Angelina at 16 is the MASTER of her universe, she is top priority for both Stargate, and Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California. Rob has been playing the piano on most of AJ's studio production performances. AJ's voice has been unique since she was 7 years old and now at 16, she controls us as an audience, leaving us hang on every word and phrase. She has written a number of songs.
Angelina has it all. She is spectacularly good yet still so young - I anticipate she will make quite an impact as time rolls on.
Angelina never ceases to amaze me, at just how incredibly talented she is, and that she can take her voice to newer levels, we have never heard before.....there is something so special about her ability, to tell the songs story, allowing us to listen with a new perspective, and hear & feel emotions, we may not have heard from the original artist 💖💖💖
I come for that great voice a master story teller I love this girl she’s a generation singer
Elvis would be proud x well done aj
!What a voice....WOW. What a beautyful rendition, so majestic and impeccable. God bless her.. And of course I do apprecite your words concerning Angelina, She deserves all the attention due to her incredible talent which IMHO it's unique .
The yound legend 16 years old!!!
Nobody sings like this beautiful young lady. The greatest singer on this planet.
Natural natural natural voice!!!!
MAGICAL VOICE!!!
ANGELIC VOICE!!!!!
ABSOLUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
… ELVIS and ANGELINA... my absolute favourites!! … What a great tribute to the King! Elvis would be honored and speechless 😮!! … I can't even describe how incredibly good these two are!!… Phenomenal!! ✨💎✨ 🕺🏻🎸🕯Thank you
What a rendition! Her Gandma Mery produced this. Looks like she used the same store she used for her My Funny Valentine video! Her sister Juliette was the older girl. The 2 younger girls are her Uncle Mike's kids, and, 2 time Grammy winner Rob Christie on piano. What a great cover! The beehive hairstyle was to honor Priscilla Presley and the time period she met Elvis. The red guitar is the same model Elvis used. I was not expecting this! Funny thing is, this was almost 4 minutes, but it flew by and felt short! Going to listen to it again! 16 years old….Wow!!! What a performance!
This is my 74th time experiencing this video, and each and every time it gets better. We must give credit to the support team behind this phenom. There is no one on earth that can match the talent of this STORYTELLER. AJ deconstructs a song then reconstruct it to make each individual hearing it feel it was written for them, a love letter to their comfort zone.
This arrangement was all Angelina, I have no doubt. She is a Master Storyteller.
I believe the girls in the video represent Angelina's Journey from infancy to present through the classics of music history. Thus the Antique store, She grew up studying and performing these classics.
Did you notice that right foot raise it''s heal to cradle the guitar a couple of times in the performance. I was waiting for her to throw in a little shake to it in homage to the King. Could that have been intentional?
That is Rob Christie on piano. Sister Juliette and a couple of Uncle Michael's Babies. I think that makes them cousins not nieces. Full Black Leather Bodysuit, the guitar from his concert in 68 and the hair a homage to Priscilla Presley.
Yeah! She brings tears to your eyes don't she? Epic. Incredible. There are no words. Epic! Wow, Wow, Wow! Could it be more Beautiful? ♥👣👸🏻🎷
Yeah she doing a Concert in Norway this month! Album to drop soon! So much to look forward to.♥👣👸🏻🎷
excellent analysis...angelina's mother and grandmother designed and built the set. gallery is owned by a friend of angelina's family. her grandmother also produced the video.
They did an amazing job!
If she maintains this progression in 10 years she will be able to enchant the audience of a theater for two hours alone on the stage, where her statuary and charismatic presence is enough to fill it, accompanying herself with the guitar or the piano. Hypnotizing the audience by telling them old and new stories and making them live a unique mystical experience. Of Angelina it has been said that she is the reincarnation of various artists of the past, for me she is the reincarnation of the ancient and mythical bards.
She could do a 5 hr concert now and there would not be an empty seat in the house.
Usually when she is singing a corner in back of my mind reminds me how impressive her voice is for her age. With this one her voice is so mature I forget how young she is.
thanka for your thoughtful reaction..so accurate n in detail👍👍
Absolutely what I expected. She made this her own song and she did it beautifully. I noticed Juliet sitting there she is going to be as beautiful as Angelina one day.
Elvis' version is great and it always was, and it still is one of my favorites. but Angelina's version is equally great and is definitely her own.
When I first heard this song I loved it and put it at #3 on my playlist (Angelina Jordan Playlist by Terry M.), about midday I moved it up to #1. The main thing that changed my mind was the power in her voice. I'm not talking about loudness I'm talking about the power she has regardless of how loud or soft she sings. This is a quality that I haven't heard from anyone in my 82 years. This voice has become so unique that it is totally unmatched.
Your absolutely right, I have heard everything this young lady has ever done , Her early work like what a difference a day makes , at last, and summertime will astound you. Listening to jazz at home living with grandma who had it playing all the time, I can imagine her thinking to herself, I can do that and it will sound even better. I don't say this often, But she is a genius although she would never admit to that.
Top notch reaction and comments. thanks for supporting our girl , she is like no other one out there, hypnotic and mesmerizing as always.
Excellent reaction/analysis of Angelina's latest cover song. Can't wait for the next one.
Communicater of emotions ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Angela makes her own arrangements of all her songs. She was also playing homage to Elvis, in some of the things in the video
What a wonderful reaction H. Sitting here, listening to this stunningly beautiful vocalist has me totally mesmerized, think I stopped breathing for 3 minutes. The attention to detail, the Pricilla Presley hair, the Elvis leather suit and Elvis red comeback guitar, everything is pure eloquence and Class at the highest level. Cheers, stay well.
So true, Angelinia is like no one else she is just AJ, perfection, a legend already to all her fans and will soon be to the whole music industry. ❤️
Angelina started @ the Bridge
Outstanding reaction, as usual. Great point about reverb here -- perfectly done. Also, please note that AJ actually BREATHES in key (and on pitch).
Rob Christie Playing Piano:
That dude playing the piano is 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, two 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.
Your reaction brilant!!!!
Bravo maestro!!!!
Seriously splendid!!!!
We need for such analysis!!!
Spectacular as I have come to expect…love…love…love it!! Except for the hair-- I found it very distracting.
I am so in love with this track, it's scary how many times I have played it ! Brilliant reaction.
Angelina is the greatest artist that ever walked the earth and she’s only 17. This world has been blessed by her unbelievable talent. She brings me to tears every time I listen. She is the GOAT! The barefoot angel has just started to spread her wings. ❤😢😮
The pianist is Rob Chrisite, 2 time Grammy winner the head of Republic Records and Paramount Music Studios and they signed Angelina in 2015. They've made her a priority.
louis Rob Christie is not the head of Republic Records and Paramount has nothing to do with him nor Angelina. Republic signed Angelina in August 2020.
Fantastic reaction and she has notably done that to several Iconic songs, "Bohemium Rhapsody", "Yellow Brick Road", and "Feeling Good", for example and there are many more. I have always said she is the Master of Music with the Chops to go with it, God Bless!
She gives me full body chills with her beautiful voice
The tribute to everything Elvis in this was amazing. The black outfit and the red guitar he used in his 1968 comeback concert, to the Priscilla hairstyle. Rob Christie the Grammy Award winning Studio Director for Republic Records wearing the red suit like the back up singers as he once again played piano for Angelina. I have seen comments about Blue Suede shoes, but after watching this at least a hundred times, I can't find them. All I see are silver/gray sparkly boots. I also have seen different "opinions" as to the meaning of having her cousins and sister in the video, but until someone can produce something to back that, it's just opinion/speculation. I was never a big Elvis fan, but this young lady has "re-invented" many songs that I never cared for or just wouldn't listen to, and made them some of my favorites.
On contemplating the imagery of her cousins and sister as they appear in the video. What has come to mind for me, is the fact that we are born, we grow, we live and we die, and we are all caught in this same trap of life.
And I sensed a plea not to spend our precious time in doubt and suspicion of each other.
@@amplifiedlight I like your take on this...it is like a secondary theme to the song itself...
@@amplifiedlight Wow!
@AngelinasDarkAngel, I can relate to one part of your comment. Never being in the popular clique. I wasn't in any clique 50 years ago, so never really concerned myself with what others thought since then. It's not an opinion, I see what I see. At the 0:11 mark of the original video, as she strolls in I see silver gray boots. At the 0:21 mark before she pull the cloth from the piano, I get a glimpse of what I see as a silver gray boot. At the 2:14 mark as she sits on the sofa or whatever that was called by the upper class back then, I see silver gray boots. Now in this one, I can possibly convince myself they are two different shades, but I still can't see blue suede. It is possible that my prescription on my glasses needs strengthened, but as much attention that was taken to the suit, the guitar, the hair style and Rob Christie's red suit, all paying tribute to Elvis's Comeback Concert from 1968, I can't see why they would have stuck blue suede shoes from 1956 or 1960 in to this video. I could be wrong, but just like the rumor that goes around about why her demo of "I'm Still Holding Out For You" was never released, until something is shown to back that up, to me it's someone's opinion, since she has sang other songs before and after dealing with suicide and death. And yes, that is my opinion.
@@musicluvr70 After the walk in i see only bare feet.
🌟💛👍🏼 🎶🎵😊 I really like the gentle clear way you reviewed Angelina here. I learned some things and saw new perspectives.
Angelina’s versions of songs just make so much sense to my senses!
New listener to your channel, liked and subscribed for the way you reviewed!
G'day H. What a beautiful tribute to the King. 🙂
Thank you for a wonderful reaction! For me this is a masterpiece! She touches your heart and soul every time! That voice!🙏🌟💫❤️
The first note didn’t have a chance to finish, before I was Whoa 😮!
Then a huge smile 😀
Thank you for your reaction. You should have seen your face. 👍
I grew up listening to Elvis and I really liked his music but it never effected me like it does when Angelina covers his music. This song was a big hit for Elvis and I've heard it a million times but Angelina's cover reaches in and pulls at the old heart strings in a way that Elvis never did.. She not only sings great but also has a way of making you feel a song in every fiber of your body... What a great cover..!!!
This is a musical masterpiece. Just like everything else she does. After hearing Angelina's covers of Adeles songs i much perfer to listen to Angelina's versions. I can connect with Angelina's version. The musical journey she takes you on is extremely addictive. This beautiful young lady's talent is fare beyond anyone I've seen in today's world
She was 16 when she did this and she does all her own arrangements she does it her way 👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣
Your analysis is in detail for me you're one of the best reactor of Angie lm blown away also she's still a teen my god I'm 70 yo now I'm like baby crying love your great reaction thanks bro.
Excellent reaction and analysis. The emotion she expressed in her version was demonstrated by the emotional reaction in your voice and words.
I'm always fascinated by what Angelina makes of songs with her unique voice. This is the high art of singing. I would like Angelina to do a version of Andra Days Rise Up. Thank you very much for your reaction and best regards from Germany.🙂👍
Really enjoyed and learned a lot from your very professional comments on her magnificent and incredible rendition.
Thank you very much.
You notice small and charming details, that is amazing to hear. We learn something New, everytime from each og you, and yours are indeed very interesting to hear. Angelina is constantly amazing me, and this maybe 40th times I have listen to Suspicious mind, and each time it gives me that nostalgic feeling I so long for, in my solitude, I love being pensive and reflective and this is definitely what Angelina is doing in our life, she is enriching our lives through her beautiful and soulful interpretation and story-telling her very own way about life an
Note the beautiful tuning of Rob Christie's piano. Gorgeous and perfect support for her voice.
New and Enjoyed Your Reaction
Angelina Jordan A star is Captivating with her Scooping You up and Soothingly loving you. ❤️
A wonderful way to Pay Homage to Elvis. This Reminds me of His Life back in the Eara of 1966-1968. The Guitar is Elvis's and the Black Leather Jump suit again Elvis. The Bouffant or Beehive all Pricilla and the girls reminds me of lil Lisa Back then. Bravo Angelina Your Voice is Truly Captivating and you are a true Devine Gift from God's Heavenly Choir.
Really enjoyed your reaction... It's not surprising but much appreciated when you touch of the details you noticed and point out their overall impact on the rendition... I've always believed that EXCELLENCE IS IN THE DETAILS, and our Angel is aware of each one ensures is perfection in her performance... This is truly a beautifully sung treat for the ears... And one can immediately spot her grandma's hand in the production... almost always family may be included, in this case her 2 nieces and her sister, Juliette, (who may I say is growing up in the traditional beautiful way) that her big Sis is doing... enjoy the quiet moments you'll listen to this again.....and AGAIN 😉🙌🏻🎤🎹🎶🎵.
arlene Cousins, not nieces.
@@103mrg forgive me for the error, correction patrol! Jeepers 😂
@@gottabeemee Someone has to clean up your crap.
She makes you feel the music. Besides being beautiful and gifted as a singer she does what most singers don’t. She reaches in a pulls at your soul. You feel every note and her tone is so unbelievable. I’m glad I’m living in the era where I saw the legendary Angelina jordon born
Wow, your reaction and analysis was incredible as was her performance. Great JOB!
Loved your reaction so much, she is something so special. What can you really say to describe her. I guess just every good word there is. LOL. Always look forward to your reactions of Angelina. 👍👍👍
Suspicious mind,by ANGELINA IS A TOTALLY different Song THE WAY she SINGS It has MORE meaning AND IT GOES Straight TO My HEART!!!Love IT As ALWAYS!!
Excellent reaction!
besides the music and the singing some the visual details are really amazing too, Rob Christie's red uniform, AJ's Pricilla hair, her leather suit and very, very expensive guitar among just a few besides her 2 nieces and sister.
jeffrey 2 cousins and sister......How do you know it's a "very, very expensive guitar"?
very good react !
H…first time I have heard one of your reactions. Fantastic break down on her song and what she is doing to to create the sound as well as the music. Really enjoyed it. Thanks.
Thanks, always appreciate new people here! Share the video around to help the channel grow and subscribe for more! Ps, there are a few more Angelina reactions on the channel so check them out ;)
I love her toooo and heard this song 100 times already and she gives me the goosebumbs and happy heart every time 💥😇❤
Amazing and beautiful. I could listen to her all day every day. What a talented young lady.
Whats with her voice, its so emotionally soothing? I never heard a singer like her before!
Angelina Jordan is an ORACLE
Oracles have existed in human form in every culture around the world. Many are still noted in our time, such as the Oracles at Delphi in Greece, the Chief Oracle of Tibet, and the Oracles of ancient Egypt, but there are countless examples. They are the remnants in our minds of a time in which we all remembered. How else can we explain the hypnotic effect this creature has on all who dare experience her?
I like that thought Larry, maybe Oracles actually were angels descending from other realms so that they could inspire humanity in troubled times.
Angelina Jordan can touch any song and make it just right. Very well said sir!!!
H you are also a breath of fresh air with your comments and I really appreciate your commentary and knowledge of what matters.
She has over 200 K views in 24 hours for this song. That is Huge
There we go again Princess ❤️.. you're teaching everyone...you are my vocal teacher my musical teacher..my stage teacher.. your beautiful ways... they're seeing your signature... They will learn them..for you're already a Legend..they have to know you
GO PRINCESS❤❤..the your Legend is coming into light to everyone now..I'm telling you people... Angelina Jordan (Princess ❤️)is a Legend already
What Elvis had as a bridge between Angelina's book ends she started it out in power mode and then she finished it off and total word by word emotion mode. The part that Elvis normally starts out with fast it's fast about being caught in a trap ends up becoming her core as I believe.... The really is the bridge. And of course all this leaves you seriously wanting MORE !!!
One of the best reactors.
Apsolutno genijalno 😍
She the story teller in music. It’s unbelievable in her interpretation of song. She is special and there are very very few vocalist like her. We are fortunate to have an artist like her in our life time. What is crazy is that she only 16 years old.
I absolutely love your reactions to the barefoot princess. In fact all of your reactions make me smile. Thank you.
Thank you for another excellent and heartfelt reaction to Angelina.
The song was written by Mark James. In the Wikipedia entry of the origins of the song, he is said to have remarked "That late one night, he was fooling around on his Fender guitar and using his Hammond organ pedals for a bass line and came up with what he thought was a catchy melody. At the time, he was married to his first wife but still had feelings for his childhood sweetheart, who was married back in Houston. James's wife had suspicions about his feelings. He felt it was a confusing time for him and that all three were "caught in this trap that they could not walk out of." and, in my mind, Angelina's rendition is much truer to the lyrics than any other singer, including Elvis.
The children appearing in the video were Angelina's cousins - daughters of her uncle Michael Astar, and then her sister Juliette. I would hazard a guess that they were included to emphasise that children are very important to Angelina and her family.
Confession! I have never been a great fan of Elvis Presley, although I do like some of his earlier recordings, and I had never heard of the song "Suspicious minds" but knew that Angelina would completely take ownership of it, and she did. It was beautiful. After listening to it several times, I decided to download the lyrics to see whether she kept to the original structure. She didn't, and the song is all the better for it. I paste below the order in which Angelina sung the verses.
"Suspicious minds" Angelina Jordan - lyrics rearranged.
(1) Oh let our love survive
I'll dry the tears from your eyes
Let's don't let a good thing die
When honey, you know I've never lied to you
(2) We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby
(3) Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?
(4) We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds
(5) So, if an old friend I know
Stops by to say hello
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?
(6) Here we go again
Asking where I've been
You can't see these tears are real
I'm crying
(Yes, I'm crying)
(7) We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds
(8) Oh let our love survive
I'll dry the tears from your eyes
Let's don't let a good thing die
When honey, you know I've never lied to you
Her short yet prolific experiences in jazz standards taught her great phrasing and masterful onsets and offsets. From early on she was emoting and not just hitting the notes. From this all hher releases sound like we’ve been listening our whole lives. Instant solid classics. Even her original new works are firmly grounded in great songwriting disciplines. She’s fresh and nostalgic at once and this gives her placements an endless feild of choices for delivery. What more can you ask for to make high quality classy great music. I have two other artists that i can listen to every day.
I enjoyed this reaction a lot! ty
She is so musically intelligent, mature, and reaches the heart with the pared down emphasis on the truth being communicated---the poetry, so to speak. It is warm, rich....
Wonderful reaction! Thanks! So on point! I like your remarks about singing is more than good technique! 👍
If there is anything to say about Angelina it's that she is far more than just technique! As young as she is, she knows how to convey emotions and tell a story. She uses her voice optimal to do so, with the most tasteful runs, inflections and dynamics. And what a warm voice. Love it!
Well .. you have stepped right into the best reaction I have heard of this song. I have seen at least 40-some .. and you just addressed every aspect of this extraordinary cover by this magnificent artist. It would take me an hour to really point out all the things that I appreciated that you saw, that you spoke about, that you truly had valuable things to say about. You heard all the pieces Angelina, our Master storyteller .. always makes sure she brings out in a song .. truth .. emotional truth .. we feel the sadness, the LOVE, the yearning for a deeper love without suspicion ..
Her voice being as beautifully developed as it is, it almost always can surprise you. It sure did on the very first phrase of this cover. Amazing. So I'm not going to say anything else but will say to whoever might read this .. watch this reaction again. There is so much in it. I only know H from his name but H is wise and honest and profound. Listen to this song again and to H and what he hears and sees in this stunning cover of Suspicious Minds and what he hears in our beautiful Angelina's technique and brilliance.
Sigh ...
Thanks for pointing out what I hear and why I love her singing so much! We are lucky to have her ...
❤️❤️❤️
You are so loved AJ 😍❤💕
"Like she's talking to that person...". Angelina always sings for an audience of one - the listener.
The ability of the voice is almost like a reflection of the soul. Her pure singing voice touches us and touches our hearts in a way that is unlike anything else....... ❤
Angelina Jordan Astar, for me she is the best singer of the last 50 years. Her voice touches my heart and cleanses my soul.
Nice. Great observations! Thank you!!
