3 semi-tones. Lowering the key of the song by 3 semi-tones is part of what Angelina does with her later rendition to make it more grounded, warm, connected. At age 12, Angelina was covering Whitney's version in the saje key as the original. At 16 she was re-imagining the song, putting her arrangement, phenomenal vocals and soul to the task. Angelina sings to express, not to impress. ❣️
I flew to Norway twice last year to see two of her concerts. She has more emotion than any singer on the planet. I was fortunate enough to to spend time with Angelina and her mother after both concerts. She has no ego at all. It was magical.
This song in my opinion should be number one hit for 2023. Is already number one in Spotify. Angelina Jordan new original release. "Love Don't Let Me Go" She will be one of the greatest singers of this Generation that takes you back to my parents Generation. Love this song, "Love Don't Let Me Go "she is singing to love.
Her angelic voice, soft, gentle but yet powerful and as usual for Angelina, full of emotion. Angelina's emotional singing, portrays what your feelings would sound like and she has this uncanny way of drawing you into another dimension and touching your most inner feelings. She undresses your soul and exposes it to the true meaning of what music is meant to be. I have been into music since the 70s and very few artist has made me as emotional as Angelina has.. Much respect to Angelina, whose name belongs on the same page with the best artist of all time. That's just my opinion.☮
I believe she did this one when she was 13? Her voice is like an angel, her rang and runs are spot on and above so many artists. Absolutely love her and your reaction! 💜🙏💜🌸🫶
David Foster, one of the composers of this song is a ANGEL, he is a BIG fan of Angelina and friends with her and hers for many years. He allowed her to sing this song as she see fit to it.
@@Orson2u Sir, on the net, you will find countless videos about Angelina and Mr. Foster. I know from them, that he is a really big fan of her. Be safe.
Gents, this was recorded around the same time as "Suspicious Minds", just before her concerts in Norway. For you own entertainment, maybe for ours too, you should look into her KURBADHAGEN concerts. Angelina like I never saw her before. She laughed, giggled, talked with the audience, and sometimes she cried a bit of HAPPY tears. Finally she could have contact to her angels, with came even from Australia and Hawaii.
The best perfomens from Angelina in this song is when she sing LIVE in allsang pa gransen in Norway ❤... Think that Whitney dont have the same feeling as Angelina when she perform live. Thanks again from Sweden! Beautifull and clear pure reaction ❤
What is so extraordinary is the words you have used in your conversation during the video concerning Angelina are particular to only her. Her age is not a factor. There is no one like her and I don't believe there has ever been anyone like her. Her voice is soulful because it originates in her soul and she is singing FOR YOU, not to you. To discuss Angelina's fantastic abilities as a supreme vocalist without including who she is as a person is not the way to fully appreciate what she is doing. She is a wonderful, humble, kind, caring and loving human being and every ounce of love within her goes into every song she sings. There are many wonderful artists who have delighted us, way back then and today and there is only one who can make you smile and cry at the same time when you listen to her sing. And she is someone you feel PROUD of and most definitely would love to see perform live at a Concert. Her poise and confidence are always super evident because she is always ready to perform and her desire is to make all of us joyful, give us hope and feel the love in her heart. Nothing is an act for Angelina. It is real, very real and there is no question in my mind she is truly a Messenger of Love.
You guys have missed much! The Age of Angelina has begun! She gave the green light with Republic Records and they have started to roll out the carpet for her Dec 22 the 20th Asian Award Gala Feb 2023 performs at the Fifa Awards in Paris May 5th her first release of her single Love Dont Let Me Go. Heidi Klum invited her to sing at Germany's Next Top Model this past week with several performances. Angelina's EP out in June followed with tour dates and a full album in fall? And then i say we count the grammy's.
Two women blessed with unique, powerful and emotive voices that feel the music through every fibre of their being. I hope you both have only the sweetest and happiest memories of all the moments you shared with your mom. Happy Mother’s Day to all moms. 🫶🏻🇨🇦
WH was 29 years old when she did this one and AJ is 17 and truly make the song justice. That really speak of AJ's greatness. Thank you guys for another great Angelina reaction. Already waiting for your next one
Whitney was great, but Angelina is ethereal, AJ makes you feel every word in the innermost depths of your soul. Whitney was 27, and AJ was 13, and then 16 when she performed this classic.
So effortless, you see how relaxed and happy she is all the way through this cover. She truly loves her craft, and she is about to take the bar of excellence to orbit and many who have costed and relied on Shock and anti-cultural antics to hide their lack of talent or imagination will just not be able to step up to the standard she is setting. Our barefoot Princes is all grown up, Long Live the Queen. As for the bare of excellence, Her new Single is spaceX powerful Fire! We Have Ignition and Lift of the new age of Musicale excellence.
Her extensive versatility is mind boggling when you listen to mething like this, and then go to the furthest opposite end of the musical spectrum and hear her emulate Elvis is the lowest register imaginable when she sings the gospel classic 'How Great Thou Art'. There has never been anyone who handles the numerous different genres of music that she does.
Fantastic reaction Jared & Jordan. Love this young artist and everything she stands for. I would love to see your reaction to her new single “Love Don’t Let Me Go”. Thanks guys.
Glad to see you back with Angelina, thank you J&J! Excellent choice and construction of the reaction. This is one of those legendary songs sung by the best performers ever that Angelina tackles and elaborates without any fear and, apparently, without much effort. Her choices which are always made with the utmost respect for the original singers, are so beautiful and performed with such skill that you can only hope that she will still make many more, even when she will have many of her originals to sing. 💛 🧡❤
At her last concert on July 10th 2022 in Norway, when Angelina told why she sings this song and dedicated it to her grandmother Mery Zamani (her grandma was sick and couldn't accompany Angelina on the trip to Norway and both were very sad), I understand this song completely differently whenever I hear the line "Don't you dare walk away from me". 👣💯 *AJ* 💯 👣
Just wait until you hear her new track, "Love don't let me go " self penned and another classic in the same vein as " A Million Miles " come on guys ! Love the sound quality on your reactions, top class as is the content, perfect.
Welcome back! Been hoping you would not forget about Angelina! Whitney's vocals are legendary and unforgettable! Angelina took the song to a different level of sauce on it with a little Angelina soul! Loved your reaction as usual.
"She seems to angelize songs" -- very well put! Excellent reaction and commentaries! I always thoroughly enjoy both of you on your intelligent insights and evaluations! Yes, Angelina is phenomenal, and her beautiful, exquisite hand movements have always been a very integral part of her interpretations of whatever songs she sings. If you haven't seen her do her indoor live TV stage performance of "Feeling Good" at age 10, or her home video performances of "Stay" and "Million Years Ago" at age 11 or 12, you should definitely do so, and watch her hands! They are just as mesmerizing as her voice! FEMALE ELVIS!
The first one was a tribute to Whitney and she kept it very close to Whitney's version in the same key , to honor Whitney, the second one was her own and not tribute performance to Whitney; she put own self into the second one as only she can do !! Great reaction guys thanks..
Hi dear friends! Thank you for this interesting and highly educating reaction! With all due respect to WH the AJ's rendition is more important to me. Of course the song belongs to WH, it's Herz and her performance is very emotional and just great. But in a way not accesible as AJ's interpretation. Angelina just touches my soul bypassing my exterior reaction, even of my heart. My smile and the profound feeling of happiness comes from my soul which simply gets wider each time I listen to her. She plugs in right down into my soul and with first sounds I forget about any physicality of this whole situation. Personally I don't know any other vocalist with such gift. She was right in choosing once the title "I put a spell on you". She really does.
Your silence after the second rendition speaks volumes. This time we bumped into a Truth and she makes us not able to look away. We have to confront ourselves with this soulful, as you said, more grounded, truth. Each one of us will read our different things in this.
AJ sang the first cover, at 12/going on 13, in the original key. The newer cover was one key lower, which was more in her wheelhouse. She also slightly struggled in the first, as she was pushing her limits. The second cover was purely relaxed. Welcome back.
gracias por volver a reaccionar a la princesa descalza, necesitamos que hagan más de ella ,hay mucho más para ver y sus reacciones son increíbles, un abrazo 🤗
Angelina Jordan is fantastic and definitely her own person. She puts her own twist to any song she does and makes it her own. She was given a voice from heaven above and I pray God blesses her always.
Great to see you two back with another Angelina reaction. Fun and comprehensive, as always. Please check out her latest original single, "Love Don't Let Me Go," while it's still hot off the presses (dropped May 5th). It's our first taste of her upcoming all-original EP, which is set to drop in June. She was off-the-charts talented as a grade schooler, and now - at 17 - WOW. See and hear for yourselves, gents. Cheers.
Guys, since you spent so much time on this one song, you should have done one of her live versions from last summer in Norway. There’s two she did, one for the outdoor “sing along” where she standing up alone on a stage in that same blue dress, and the other where she dedicates the song to her grandmother. The latter is much more emotional, and there’s not a dry eye in the crowd! Regardless, great reaction, and please do many more reactions to Angelina.
Great reaction guys. Time is on Angelina's side. By the time she reaches her full voice potential she will be unstoppable, incomparable and on top of the world.
She will be releasing a new album of original material in a few weeks. She is also appearing on German tv for The next top model ( singing or judging) Heidi Klum her are great friends.
As usual I enjoyed your reaction very much! I just gotta say though, it's almost torture waiting so long between Angelina reactions. You guys are going to have to step them up a little, because Angelina is going places this year! She just released a new original "Love Don't Let Me Go" It is awesome! That being said, the video of Whitney singing at the awards show was very different than the soundtrack version she did. A lot more ad libbing and as you guys said, it was more raw. I think she even sang in a lower key which I've been told she often did in live performances. I believe she was 29 when she recorded that song. The earlier Angelina version (I believe she was 12 or 13) some think was a response to people saying she couldn't belt, well she can! She really stretched her limits to hit some of those notes, but she did it. She sang this version in the same key as Whitney's studio version, and stayed very true to that original arrangement. And wow, she nailed it (at 12!), from a little home studio! The second Angelina version, she also lowered her voice a key and as you mentioned, she put more soul into it. At this point she is completely comfortable making the song her own, in her own way while still respecting the original artist. I love both artists, and you guys do such a great and thorough dissection of the performances. Already anxiously awaiting your next Angelina reaction!
Different song but she sang I WHO have nothing when she was 6. Angelina is a very happy person and that gives me a lot of peace for Whitney. Same as Amy Winehouse. Salve and balm for the soul. Angelina has that effect.
Absolutely love your videos and how you do them. I’ve been very disappointed that you haven’t done the barefoot princess in a very long time. She is absolutely an angel sent from heaven, and as far as I’m concerned the best artist out there now. I can’t wait to see more reactions to the barefoot princess.
Just to answer y6u, Angie was 13 on the first one and 16 on the 2nd one. On the first one @13 she was straining a little to reproduce Whitney's sound, yet as you can tell amazing.( compare her to the clip of Christine Aguilera @ the same age, christine doesn't even come close to carrying it as Angelina does. In the 16 year old version she is doing it her way, not trying to reproduce Whitney's version. In this version Angie is breath taking. Keep in mind the title says, ANGELINA JORDAN , I HAVE NOTHING...That shows David Foster's (the author of this song) approval of taking on this song to Angelina.
This is an older presentation of Angelina singing this. Please check out she performance in Norway last summer and her new official video performance. She has grown since she sang this one!
Her first go on this marathon of a song was a bit of a challenge but still mind blowing. We hoped she would come back to it and wow, already at 16 she gave us this rich, soulful version. Still, the comparison between her old and new version of My Funny Valentine is even more fascinating.
Yup ! 'Soulful' is good . . . . . her breathy-ness interpretation is typical Angelina . . . . yet astounding! The richness / depth of her voice has increased notably . . . . gotta go blow my nose & wipe my eyes. Excellent Reaction guys ! ! ! take care, rh
So glad to see and hear you two back with Angelina again! It has been way too long! And what made it even better was your bringing two of the very best female vocal artists in history on with you! And then you had them both singing one of the most beautiful, artistic, and difficult songs ever attempted. And the final great big plus-- YOU DID NOT try to compare them as in a contest for the best as so many try to do! In my life time (81 years) there have been few females on the vocal and technical level with these two, and as such one should just enjoy their music and not try to say which is better! Thank You for that! For another comparison video how about one with the song "VALERIE" by Amy Winehouse? Angeline did it at 12 or barely 13 on the beach and she just did it live on Heidi Klum's "Germany's Next Top Model" TV program. In my opinion this latest version, live, is the best cover I have ever heard from anyone! As others have suggested Angelina's latest single release "Love Don't Let Me Go" is a must do!! Also 15 yo Angelina did a cover of Lauren Daigle's "YOU SAY" on her 2021 Christmas special that had never been released. She just, in the past couple of days, has posted it on her channel. One of the best and most beautiful covers Angelina has ever done!! Again, thanks for returning to Angelina!!!
Welcome back, I’ve missed you reacting to Angelina. I was worried about you having Angelina following Whitney but I think she held her own, even her 13 year old version. I always enjoy your reactions. Keep ‘em coming guys!
Her singel Love don`t let me go you got to see and hear, and I`m telling you, she made a crazy good live version og Valerie on the event Germany Next Top Model. Don`t miss out on it, insanely good. Thank you for a wonderful and informativ reaction. Ann from Norway
I love that you guys, when doing cover performances, show the original before the cover. Please take a look at Pentatonix's cover of "Gold" by Kiara. By the way, Whitney is a legend and was taken way too soon. Angelina is becoming a legend in her own right.
Great video guys and good to see you on the Angelina train again. What you may not know is that writer and producer David Foster, worked with Angelina a number of times. He was once heard saying about her, "I've seen a lot of young singers, but she is frighteningly good!" "She's got talent...it's beyond!.." David Foster, nicknamed Hit Man, is a Canadian musician, composer, arranger, record producer and music executive who chaired Verve Records from 2012 to 2016. He has won 16 Grammy Awards from 47 nominations and is inducted in the Songwriters Hall of Fame. His music career spans more than five decades, He has created hit songs and award-winning gold and platinum albums for a diverse array of artists including Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Andrea Bocelli, Michael Bublé, Josh Groban, Rod Stewart, Stevie Wonder, Earth, Wind & Fire, Diana Krall, Natalie Cole, Michael Bolton, Seal, Chaka Khan, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Chicago, Hall & Oates, Brandy, ’N Sync, Boz Scaggs, and Gloria Estefan. He has escorted singers who have straddled both pop and classical styles like Andrea Bocelli and Josh Groban into the mainstream. By the way, Angelina just recently came out with her brand new original single called Love Don't Let Me Go, which has hit many countries music charts, even being number one in a couple of areas. Her new album of original music will be coming out really soon! The song is currently at #11 on the iTunes Top New Pop Songs List and #69 on the iTunes Top 100 Pop Songs Chart....
As a measure of Angelina's vocal fitness and confidence, at her last Summer concert in Norway (2022) she sang a 15-song set, then 3 encore numbers of which this "I Have Nothing" was the last. Who does that at 16yo! [Also those 18 tracks were originally heard in 8 of the last 9 decades, who does that!?] Welcome back.
Hi guys! It's been a minute since you've done an Angelina reaction. She does have her new EP out called Old Enough, 6 original songs that she wrote herself, and the songs show a blend of Jazz/R&B/Soul/Retro Pop. Each song different from the next, but all of them are bangers! All of the music on her EP are on her Angelina Jordan Official UA-cam Channel. Start with Love Don't Let Me Go(black & white video), and Now I'm the Fool (black & white video). Then the rest of the songs are just visualizers. Next, listen to All My Fault, Fire and Rain, Good In Goodbyes, and finally, Diamond. With the visualizers, the lyrics are in the description box below each video. If you really listen to each song, and pay attention to the lyrics, it's like a story is being told, in my opinion. Hope to see your reactions to this soon! Take care!
Angelina and Alicia Keys have the jazzy approach, and those two songs are very similar in content and melody. AJ's interpretation of the Whitney Houston song added jazz style embellishments. I can totally see why you were thinking of the Alicia Keys song (which I love too). Thanks for another interesting reaction to our Angelina! xo from an Angel in CA.
Angelina’s new release “Love Don’t Let Me Go”. 💜
Yes. She released a new amazing original song last week.
Yes, this should be the next. An Angelina original. Released May 5th 2023 as a single from her upcoming album. 🍁
Love dont let me go❤❤
keep in mind that she has said that when she sings this at that time she is thinking and feeling what her grandmother means to her.
3 semi-tones. Lowering the key of the song by 3 semi-tones is part of what Angelina does with her later rendition to make it more grounded, warm, connected.

Without a doubt the best voice alive...
AJ's new original "Love Don't Let Me Go" is a show stopper and a chart topper! ❤❤❤
"Love Don't Let Me Go" is on auto repeat in my brain. I'll never let it go. ❤❤❤
I flew to Norway twice last year to see two of her concerts. She has more emotion than any singer on the planet. I was fortunate enough to to spend time with Angelina and her mother after both concerts. She has no ego at all. It was magical.
She just keeps getting better as she ages...I luv luv luv this girl!🥰
Angelina had always done those hand movement's. She had no need to copy anyone. No one can touch her. She is her own unique, special Woman.
She does leave everyone speechless. 🥺
This song in my opinion should be number one hit for 2023. Is already number one in Spotify. Angelina Jordan new original release. "Love Don't Let Me Go" She will be one of the greatest singers of this Generation that takes you back to my parents Generation. Love this song, "Love Don't Let Me Go "she is singing to love.
Her angelic voice, soft, gentle but yet powerful and as usual for Angelina, full of emotion.

Much respect to Angelina, whose name belongs on the same page with the best artist of all time. That's just my opinion.☮
Strong and powerful yet silky smooth and so satisfying to my ears. I prefer listening to Angelina over ANY other vocalist I’ve ever heard.
I believe she did this one when she was 13? Her voice is like an angel, her rang and runs are spot on and above so many artists. Absolutely love her and your reaction! 💜🙏💜🌸🫶

Angelina's EP out in June followed with tour dates and a full album in fall? And then i say we count the grammy's.
Not only was her voice much more mature here, I think with her being a little older, she really understood the meaning behind the words.
Two women blessed with unique, powerful and emotive voices that feel the music through every fibre of their being.
I hope you both have only the sweetest and happiest memories of all the moments you shared with your mom.
Happy Mother’s Day to all moms. 🫶🏻🇨🇦

OMG I love you guys. Thanks.....
Great reaction guys. Time is on Angelina's side. By the time she reaches her full voice potential she will be unstoppable, incomparable and on top of the world.
Watch this... Your reactions to this song says it all!
She will be releasing a new album of original material in a few weeks. She is also appearing on German tv for The next top model ( singing or judging) Heidi Klum her are great friends.
She was singing a couple of songs while the models were parading around the ‘ audience’ in huge wedding gowns. She was her usual wonderful self ❤️
As usual I enjoyed your reaction very much! I just gotta say though, it's almost torture waiting so long between Angelina reactions. You guys are going to have to step them up a little, because Angelina is going places this year! She just released a new original "Love Don't Let Me Go" It is awesome!
That being said, the video of Whitney singing at the awards show was very different than the soundtrack version she did. A lot more ad libbing and as you guys said, it was more raw. I think she even sang in a lower key which I've been told she often did in live performances. I believe she was 29 when she recorded that song.
The earlier Angelina version (I believe she was 12 or 13) some think was a response to people saying she couldn't belt, well she can! She really stretched her limits to hit some of those notes, but she did it. She sang this version in the same key as Whitney's studio version, and stayed very true to that original arrangement. And wow, she nailed it (at 12!), from a little home studio!
The second Angelina version, she also lowered her voice a key and as you mentioned, she put more soul into it. At this point she is completely comfortable making the song her own, in her own way while still respecting the original artist.
I love both artists, and you guys do such a great and thorough dissection of the performances. Already anxiously awaiting your next Angelina reaction!
Different song but she sang I WHO have nothing when she was 6. Angelina is a very happy person and that gives me a lot of peace for Whitney. Same as Amy Winehouse. Salve and balm for the soul. Angelina has that effect.
🥰Love you guys
Love Angelina👏👏👏👏👏 thank you. ✌️
She's still growing. and that is awesome to see.
Good luck..
Heat It up!
pure divinity....
I've long said, Angelina fell from heaven and one of the heavenly host choir was missing...
Absolutely love your videos and how you do them. I’ve been very disappointed that you haven’t done the barefoot princess in a very long time. She is absolutely an angel sent from heaven, and as far as I’m concerned the best artist out there now. I can’t wait to see more reactions to the barefoot princess.
Just to answer y6u, Angie was 13 on the first one and 16 on the 2nd one. On the first one @13 she was straining a little to reproduce Whitney's sound, yet as you can tell amazing.( compare her to the clip of Christine Aguilera @ the same age, christine doesn't even come close to carrying it as Angelina does. In the 16 year old version she is doing it her way, not trying to reproduce Whitney's version. In this version Angie is breath taking. Keep in mind the title says, ANGELINA JORDAN , I HAVE NOTHING...That shows David Foster's (the author of this song) approval of taking on this song to Angelina.
That landing at the end! Smooth as silk..
This is an older presentation of Angelina singing this. Please check out she performance in Norway last summer and her new official video performance. She has grown since she sang this one!
Watch the whole video.. ;-)
WOW! Whithey was a stone cold fox back then! Glad our Angel makes her so much justice!
Is there a “Soul Pop” genre? Her soul and that rasp is what gets me!
Her first go on this marathon of a song was a bit of a challenge but still mind blowing. We hoped she would come back to it and wow, already at 16 she gave us this rich, soulful version. Still, the comparison between her old and new version of My Funny Valentine is even more fascinating.
i love yor humble reactions.
Yup ! 'Soulful' is good . . . . . her breathy-ness interpretation is typical Angelina . . . . yet astounding!
The richness / depth of her voice has increased notably . . . . gotta go blow my nose & wipe my eyes.
Excellent Reaction guys ! ! ! take care, rh
So glad to see and hear you two back with Angelina again! It has been way too long! And what made it even better was your bringing two of the very best female vocal artists in history on with you! And then you had them both singing one of the most beautiful, artistic, and difficult songs ever attempted. And the final great big plus-- YOU DID NOT try to compare them as in a contest for the best as so many try to do! In my life time (81 years) there have been few females on the vocal and technical level with these two, and as such one should just enjoy their music and not try to say which is better! Thank You for that! For another comparison video how about one with the song "VALERIE" by Amy Winehouse? Angeline did it at 12 or barely 13 on the beach and she just did it live on Heidi Klum's "Germany's Next Top Model" TV program. In my opinion this latest version, live, is the best cover I have ever heard from anyone! As others have suggested Angelina's latest single release "Love Don't Let Me Go" is a must do!! Also 15 yo Angelina did a cover of Lauren Daigle's "YOU SAY" on her 2021 Christmas special that had never been released. She just, in the past couple of days, has posted it on her channel. One of the best and most beautiful covers Angelina has ever done!! Again, thanks for returning to Angelina!!!
I adore the comparison !!!! First a long part of the original with comments and then the cover !!!! Just PERFECT !!! I will watch more videos of You .
🎉
Great Reaction and analysis 👍🙏👣
Welcome back, I’ve missed you reacting to Angelina. I was worried about you having Angelina following Whitney but I think she held her own, even her 13 year old version. I always enjoy your reactions. Keep ‘em coming guys!
Nice reaction. Looking forward to your reaction to her new original Love Don't Let Me Go
Could be some time 😊
Glad to see you back with Angelina. She just released a new single. Love don't let me go. It's absolutely Amazing.
She’s singing about her grandma Mery who’s not been so well..changes the meaning of the song…
Angelina"s new EP !🤤
Enjoyed your reaction thumbs up to you 👍
Her singel Love don`t let me go you got to see and hear, and I`m telling you, she made a crazy good live version og Valerie on the event Germany Next Top Model. Don`t miss out on it, insanely good. Thank you for a wonderful and informativ reaction. Ann from Norway
I love that you guys, when doing cover performances, show the original before the cover.
Please take a look at Pentatonix's cover of "Gold" by Kiara.
By the way, Whitney is a legend and was taken way too soon. Angelina is becoming a legend in her own right.
There’s an old saying in Scotland that goes she makes my heart sing well AJ makes every organ in my being dance with such emotion.💙🏴
Great video guys and good to see you on the Angelina train again. What you may not know is that writer and producer David Foster, worked with Angelina a number of times. He was once heard saying about her, "I've seen a lot of young singers, but she is frighteningly good!" "She's got talent...it's beyond!.."
David Foster, nicknamed Hit Man, is a Canadian musician, composer, arranger, record producer and music executive who chaired Verve Records from 2012 to 2016. He has won 16 Grammy Awards from 47 nominations and is inducted in the Songwriters Hall of Fame. His music career spans more than five decades, He has created hit songs and award-winning gold and platinum albums for a diverse array of artists including Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Andrea Bocelli, Michael Bublé, Josh Groban, Rod Stewart, Stevie Wonder, Earth, Wind & Fire, Diana Krall, Natalie Cole, Michael Bolton, Seal, Chaka Khan, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Chicago, Hall & Oates, Brandy, ’N Sync, Boz Scaggs, and Gloria Estefan. He has escorted singers who have straddled both pop and classical styles like Andrea Bocelli and Josh Groban into the mainstream.
By the way, Angelina just recently came out with her brand new original single called Love Don't Let Me Go, which has hit many countries music charts, even being number one in a couple of areas. Her new album of original music will be coming out really soon! The song is currently at #11 on the iTunes Top New Pop Songs List and #69 on the iTunes Top 100 Pop Songs Chart....
Y’all R awsome. I just started watching today. BUT I will listen forever.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Great reaction as always!
I believe she was 12 yrs old in the first video. Great reaction!
As a measure of Angelina's vocal fitness and confidence, at her last Summer concert in Norway (2022) she sang a 15-song set, then 3 encore numbers of which this "I Have Nothing" was the last. Who does that at 16yo! [Also those 18 tracks were originally heard in 8 of the last 9 decades, who does that!?] Welcome back.
Hi guys! It's been a minute since you've done an Angelina reaction. She does have her new EP out called Old Enough, 6 original songs that she wrote herself, and the songs show a blend of Jazz/R&B/Soul/Retro Pop. Each song different from the next, but all of them are bangers! All of the music on her EP are on her Angelina Jordan Official UA-cam Channel. Start with Love Don't Let Me Go(black & white video), and Now I'm the Fool (black & white video). Then the rest of the songs are just visualizers. Next, listen to All My Fault, Fire and Rain, Good In Goodbyes, and finally, Diamond. With the visualizers, the lyrics are in the description box below each video. If you really listen to each song, and pay attention to the lyrics, it's like a story is being told, in my opinion. Hope to see your reactions to this soon! Take care!
Angelina ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Angelina and Alicia Keys have the jazzy approach, and those two songs are very similar in content and melody. AJ's interpretation of the Whitney Houston song added jazz style embellishments. I can totally see why you were thinking of the Alicia Keys song (which I love too). Thanks for another interesting reaction to our Angelina! xo from an Angel in CA.
Both beautiful and amazing but so much more polished and grit in her voice. Always combined with that AJ rasp.
please react to her new single Love Don’t Let Me Go. I know you will also love her cover of You Say from her Christmas show. Proud of you guys
Our not so little angel. Love from 🇳🇴. Where she lived for many many years.
