Did you guys know Elvis grew up in Memphis, Tennessee in a poor and diverse community. He did not see color his music was for all people. He was truly the King 💜🙏💜🌸🫶
No loud band, no light show, no dancers, just two instruments to accompany the MAGIC that Angelina Jordan brings like no one else can. At 7 she was killing us, at 16 she is taking us places we have never been.
I fell in love with Angelina when I saw her perform at 7 years of age and still love her. Angelina, stay beautiful, stay sweet and I wish you all the success in the world.
And you need it done all those tricks jiggly things all she needs is her voice and piano or guitar and she goes tell you the story the meaning of the song the communicator storage teller Angelina is a generation singer Be talking about Angelina Jordan Astar 50 years from now how great of singer she was or is
Elvis was a once in a lifetime artist. Historians have listed him as one who was a major impact on our music and culture. I believe Angelina is also a once in a lifetime artist and her star will shine even brighter in the future.
I'm 64 years old I love Elvis when I was growing up he was one of the best I think she did a beautiful job singing this song she is so beautiful though I love her voice
When you look at the setting, lighting, camera work, and the costuming, this is a beautiful performance. But when you add the symbolisms in this Elvis song, plus the exquisitely beautiful voice of Angelina Jordan - I believe this is worthy of Grammy consideration. Jared & Jordan, nice to see you back to Angelina!
Right Bill .. this is for sure worthy a Grammy .. also like her latest of "I have nothing" .. even these are not official released as a Music Track to enter the Charts and Stations of the World .. I guess both of these are on her 1st Album .. because why did she upload them on her Official Channel and not on her Cover Channel?? .. so many things to speculate .. and I guess until her Album release we get some more "Ear-Candy" very soon and in maybe a shorter time period .. and in case you didn't see it .. Angelina also dropped her 'Allsang Pa Grensen' live Performance today on her Official Channel ..
The leather costume is from Elvis's come back concert the hair style is Priscilla, his wife and the child growing up is their daughter all representing the trap he felt he was caught in at that stage of his life
It is the same antique store in Hollywood that she used for My Funny Valentine AJ plays guitar, keyboard/piano, violin and flute. Don’t forget she writes music and was the youngest author in Norway to publish a book. No loud band, no light show, no dancers, just two instruments to accompany the MAGIC that Angelina Jordan brings like no one else can. At 7 she was killing us, at 16 she is taking us places we have never been. 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, Excellent ART Cole McCarthy! Great touch, the cousins and sister get a cameo. Mery, you should be so proud, AJ's grandma produced this. (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 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.
Exactly Larry .. also Angelinas latest Video was recorded in that shop - I Have Nothing (Whitney Houston Cover) - ua-cam.com/video/iX0g99jN26U/v-deo.html .. @Jared & Jordan .. that is the next one to do .. it's a must .. and fasten your Seatbelts ..
@@wajj1842 I did not say she has been playing the violin, or flute, I stated that she has the ability to play all 4. Thanks for the reply and have a great day.
@@larrypifer1103 I guess it depends on how one interprets your statement, Larry: "AJ plays guitar, ..piano, violin and flute". I didn't see the "ability to play" in that statement, so the average reader would assume that she actually "plays" those instruments now, when in fact she hasn't played the flute or violin in about 10 years. And I would guess that since she hasn't played them, her "ability" to do so would be very limited.
You both have followed her into the dimensional place where her soul of music will make her final stand of identity...moving her into a dimension of life she was and is born to share to the world ....Its more than her guys and everything she is in life and the infinite place where souls live and points us all to place of God WHO IS MUSIC...welcome and thank you for seeing the beginning that will never end in Angelina and others that you will see as well...keep seeing and know that you two are twinned - for our world is changing and you will be a guide as Angelina is a POINTER to the unknown joy of infinitiy....
He learned to sing in a black Pentecostal church. When they were filled with the spirit they sang using these motions. It wasn’t disrespectful, it shows letting the music take control of your body, soul and spirit!
My interpretation of the symbolism of this music video: First, and foremost; Angelina Jordan at 16 is the epitome of a Storytelling ARTIST, and she has the ability to take us by the hand and lead us down an imaginary path that we visualize as reality. The remarkable fact is that we experience this in each of her performances. In this video we see her as a married woman in her mid to late 20s. As the video starts out, we see dishes, and it is a symbol of a home. As AJ sings the phrase “Were caught in a trap, I can’t walk out” we see 3 small children, this to me is a marriage where the children come first. If it were AJ by herself, she would not stay in a relation without trust. AJ adapts the performance to pay homage but then makes it her own and so much better than the original.
This performance of elvises is meant live for a vegas crowd which he entertains completely to petfection you can compare his studio version to this and pick your poison. But if I was going to a live performance in vegas like I have done I much prefer Elvis.I guess when I’m ready to go to sleep I’ll put aj on the playlist
That is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard in my life.Angelina is the best ever.I'm going to get ever song that she sings and just listen to her all time can't get enough of her singing .We all love you Angelina .Your fan all Way's.
Once again, Angelina sprinkled her angel dust on another cover and took ownership of it. Pianist, Rob Christie wrote the music arrangement and Angelina created the vocal arrangement. It is a stand alone master work that I have no doubt Elvis would have been blown away with this rendition and the performances of Angelina and Rob.
As always, Angelina makes each cover her own while honoring the artist. The leather outfit and the red guitar is similar to what Elvis used in his 68 TV Special. The hair is similar to Priscilla's beehive hairdo from the 60s.
I think that the red guitar she used here is THE guitar from Elvis' 1968 Comeback Special 🙂 It's owned by the man on the piano, artistic director of Angelina's record label Republic Records, Rob Christie. That's what I've heard anyway 🙂
@@poolhallsharkyes, it's a similar copy. The actual Hagstrom Viking II Elvis used was loaned to him for the '68 Special. I read the original sold for more than 600,000.
@@darrowcelaya4310 Yes, I heard that, too. Sold to an Australian guy. But then I heard that it now belongs to Rob. I heard that it had been confirmed by Rob on his instgram account or smt like that. I haven't seen it myself though. Thanks for the feedback 👍
Truly, Angelina has been able to sing at many different levels since she was seven. She chooses to sing any song depending on her own individual interpretation of the song. She is her own "Interpretation of any song" Now, tell me any artist that has ever accomplished at her age, at any age?
Angelina is probably the most unique vocalist around today. She makes you understand a songs lyrics. She tells the story of every song. We are very fortunate to have an artist like her. She puts her stamp on every song. Remember she is 16 years old.
A beautiful cover by Angelina and a visually stunning video. Love all the homages to Elvis and Priscilla -- the blue suede shoes, the leather outfit, the red Hagstrom Viking guitar, Priscilla's beehive hairstyle, the beautiful old furniture which is reminiscent of Graceland. It's a perfect video.
You always made it so great and interesting. Where are you, I miss you so much. Angelina Jordan has so many new songs we need you please come back:)Danke:)
this is an EPIC performance from AJ! As soon as she let the first notes out I was shook! The symbolism is over the top! even with the little sister and nice portraying her own youth till now...just over the top!
I have no idea why my comment aren’t showing Up. The way you saw Elvis was clownish.Really check out his early love songs his deep low vibrato went straight to the heart. I have pretty much everything of Angelina’s songs. I wouldn’t call her voice powerful.Her voice is soft ,deep,delicate and mesmerising.
@@melyndamonea8734 I don't think this is a reply to MY comment...but it showed up here, The only thing I said that was out of place is that the girls in the video are cousins, not niece or sisters...
What a great idea to show Elvis’ version first! I am not familiar with Elvis work either but it makes me wanna watch the movie. All I know is he was an icon, and still is. But Angelina, to me, is the one singer who gives me shivers. Definitely one of the best voices out there, regardless of how young she is. I’ve always said that the greatest voice I have ever heard was that of Whitney Houston. But Angelina might just be my number 2!
When you played the original w Elvis, I just sat here, wishing it was over soon... ANGELina made me listen to the lyrics and feel the song❣ You are point on, as always... not many reactiors can keep me occupied for 30+mins, but you can, so kudos for that. Everything in this video is done with intention, from the Blue Suede Shoes, to her outfit, the guitar, to the pianist and his cherise suit. and the "BeeHive- hair do" like Priscilla Presley had when she met Elvis.
You wrote: "When you played the original w Elvis, I just sat here, wishing it was over soon... "I know how you feel, I had to fast-forward after the first 10 seconds. 🙂
@@LeNaInLoVe I am colourblind, yet I still recognized the trickery of light and shadow when she was on the settee.....Go to the original video, full screen. Click the settings icon and change the playback speed to .5 At about :21, just before she pulls off the sheet from the piano, what do you see on her feet?
Elvis Presley owned Graceland (research that), and Angelina Jordan entered Graceland, uncovering the furniture, looking up at the elegant chandeliers, and singing Suspicious Minds in a reminiscent, melancholy way, as though she were still grieving the huge loss of Elvis, as we all still are. Again, she understands her audience, and can take our heartstrings and just twist them to a point of emotional entanglement around the words she sings. She is dressed for the era, and mostly carries that guitar to bring more authenticity to the song.
Angelina Jordan has a voice like the King, Elvis, King off pop Michael Jackson, and we have now Angelina Jordan she has the best female voice ever, her voice touch your hart, and you will gett tears in your eyes, she greater then great. Greetings from a big fan from Holland.
Angelina is so special that we cannot begin to understand what she is doing to us. She needs to be discovered by the whole world, and soon. her concerts in Norway were just a glimpse of her greatness, a teaser
Guys, this was just a stellar analysis as it is every time! You asked about the symbolism of the video. This is the general consensus. The antique store and Angelina taking the sheets off of the mirror and the furniture and the piano represent uncovering Elvis's vintage past. During the Elvis special which I believe was in 1969, he wore the black leather suit and boots, and had the red guitar as Angelina does. Angelina's beehive hairdo was the same type of hairdo that Elvis wife Priscilla had. The three young girls are Angelina's sister and two cousins and represent Angelina at different ages growing up. Angelina also used the vintage microphone. The pianist was Rob Christie, head of Republic records where Angelina is signed, and Mery Zamani is Angelina's grandmother who directed. You may have noticed that Angelina wore boots at the very beginning but once she started performing she was barefoot. There is also a scene with the camera pans down as it looks at the mirror with Angelina's reflection. As it pans to the bottom you see her bare feet in the bottom part of the mirror. I'm not sure if I've missed anything but I hope that helps.
You got it spot on, except two small items. Elvis' Comeback Special was in 1968, and Rob Christie is the Studio Director at Republic, not the head. The head (founder and CEO) is Monte Lipman.
@@johnbattles1002 thanks for the corrections. I couldn't decide whether the special was 1968 or 69 so I guessed. It didn't really change the gist of the message. Hopefully I still get an A for trying! 😁
Yes I watched the Elvis movie and highly recommend it. Austin Butler deserves an oscar for his performance. I grew up listening to Elvis as my late father was a fan. We always listened to Blue Christmas over the holidays. What I especially loved about the movie was how the director brought in contemporary music and overlayed with the old... impressive! I don't know how I stumbled on your channel but so glad I did! I appreciated how you handled this... first learning about Elvis and then watching the video for Suspicious Minds to better understand before exploring Angelina Jordan's cover. I loved the piano at the beginning... it hinted at what was to come... I agree with what you shared and appreciate the respect she gives to the original and yet making it her own - a true artist! Thanks for this and I will definitely be exploring your channel and recommending it! Take care!!
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 💖💖💖 Not only her voice, but her delivery is also her gift!
Thank you, Jared, & Jordan, for your honest reaction to Angelina Jordan's cover of Elvis, Suspicious Mind. Now, maybe with this song, you may understand Angelina Jordan just a little better.
I love how Angelina comes in strong and uses the bridge as both and intro and outro. The arrangement, the slower tempo, the crystal clear piano play and her melancholic singing make me really listen to the story of love being destroyed by distrust and she makes me feel the sadness of is. Because it is a really a sad song about a toxic relationship with no way out. Elvis performance was masterful and he knew how to entertain the audience and to have fun on stage. It was and is fun to watch. What I do not really feel is in his performance is that he is distraught about being caught in a inescapable trap. I saw the Elvis movie. Is is beautiful and sad at the same time: he was really caught in an inescapable trap himself.
I bought the movie "Elvis" from Amazon for $25. It's pretty darn good. You have got to watch this movie to fully comprehend how brilliant Angelina's "Suspicious Minds" really is. She captures the mood and arc of the life of Elvis with a poignancy that is breathtaking.
Her voice is so powerful, soft, silky smooth soulful voice. I just stumbled onto your Chanel and Angelina Jordan. I’m an instant Angel!! And I’m subscribing to your channel! Keep up the good work!! Hugs!!!
Btw, Elvis is the all time biggest selling single artist, over 500 Million. That's also when most of his sales were from when people actually had to go to a store and buy his records.
Hey guys! Thank you for once again diving into your reaction. You guys just go so in-depth it's amazing the work you do. Angelina is my favorite singer of all time. Her voice touches my soul. She honors Elvis in this video, even has her hair like young Priscilla. Her leather outfit and red guitar is for Elvis.
Angelina showed her respect for Elvis by using one of the guitars he played in his " '68 Comeback Special", a black leather jumpsuit similar to the one he wore during that performance, and his wife's, Priscilla Presley, beehive hairstyle. And, of course, her more laid-back, Angelina interpretation of "Suspicious Minds".
I get excited when you decide to reach to our Angelina Thanks! Angelina has matured and reached a new level of her art! She has taken Suspicious Minds and made it her new song! WOW!
Symbolism: Priscilla Presley's hairdo. Outfit and red guitar style he wore in is come back concert. Antique store shows her dusting off old music. The cousins and sister represent her growing up during her musical journey. Her grandma Mery did a wonderful production job on this video. OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE !!!!
Elvis Presley and his producer Felton Jarvis cleverly covered this *Mark James song from 1968 in 1969* ( ok, just his producer) , Elvis' last #1 hit in the US and #7 of his most successful songs. Felton Jarvis took the original arrangement completely and pushed the song with more speed and additional instruments (wind instruments, violin etc.) and a spectacular backing choir (in the studio version) and of course with Elvis Presley's voice. Pianist Rob Christie changed the musical arrangement and Angelina the vocal arrangement, but she didn't change the lyrics. Angelina changes the lyric structure, starting with the bridge and giving the song a different meaning. Once again many people don't hear and understand the song until when Angelina tells the story. 💯 *AJ* 💯👣
Yeah! She’s something special, isn’t she? Pure Velvet Perfection! This vocal arrangement was all Angelina, I have no doubt in collaboration with a stellar team including Rob Christie & Mery Zamani her Grandmother. She is a Master Storyteller. The video is shot in the same Antique Store that she did 'My Funny Valentine' on Valentine’s Day. I believe it is in LA near her home. 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 can bring tears to your eyes. Epic. Incredible. There are no words. Epic! Wow, Wow, Wow! Could it be more Beautiful? ♥👣👸🏻🎷 Yeah she did Concerts in Norway last month! Album to drop soon! So much to look forward to.♥👣👸🏻🎷 I base my interpretation on my knowledge of Angelina's journey from an 18 month old little girl singing a "classic" of music history 'I Will Always Love You' . She has been listening to these classics on repeat on U-Tube since then under the guidance and inspiration of her Grandmother Mery Zamani. She has been performing these classics since her first time in studio at 6 yrs old.. She has continued this journey through her 1st introduction to the world with her "Classic'" 'Gloomy Sunday and following with her many performances at her many Jazz Festivals, TV performances, Concerts, and charity events, studio recordings and practice sessions at home accompanied or not. The location in the Antique store represents these classics (like the furniture) of another era. To me she portrays wonder at all these classics surrounding her. as she has travelled this road. Her tribute to Elvis is at her present age, today, each stage represented by her cousins and sister and ending with Angelina herself on the couch still admiring all this history surrounding her. The beautiful rendition of the song, and other tributes are in the leather outfit, Guitar and hair a tribute to Priscilla. Just my interpretation but it makes the most sense to me. .♥👣👸🏻
"Depth" is the magic word. Everything about this video was spectacular, the set, Rob Christie on the keys and, of course, Angelina. She told us the story of the song like no other and that's what she does. The second time is better? The 3rd, 4th, and on and on it gets better and better each time. I don't know about you but I don't believe there is anyone like her or that there has never been anyone like her, ever. The depth and range of her voice combined with her soulful and a hint of jazz delivery makes her very unique but that's only half of it. When you heart gets touched by her because her soulfulness is so genuine and it transforms into a strong and yet sensitive voice, full of love, your heart cannot resist. When she sings and the song is over our comment is always, "Oh, it's over already?" With most great artists they have the ability to draw you in and entertain you to a degree where you really appreciate their efforts. Then the song is over. With Angelina, once the song is over it stays with the listener to a degree whereby they will never forget the song and will play it over and over and their reaction each time will be like it was the fist time they heard her sing the song.
Great job, guys. Angelina takes it up a notch when on stage performing to a live audience. She just exudes confidence and charisma while still staying humble and appreciative....quite a unique combination.
Good reaction guys. Love the deep dive. Right, it was obviously a tribute to Elvis, one of her mentors. Her black suit, red guitar, the piano players red suit were all part of his 1968 Comeback Special on TV. The chandlers and gold frames I believe represented his wealth and opulence for the time. And the mirrors reflected his handsomeness and always on sense of self, the pressure of living up to the hype of being the king. In many ways it was a sad life that ended sadly and far too early for the innovator that bridged many divides. His life also could serve as a warning to her to not let the hype overwhelm her. We should all hope and pray she remains well grounded and balanced. But as always, her focus remained on the true intent of the song in message and feeling. No one interprets, delivers, and elicits the intended passion and emotion of a song better than Angelina.
I've watched a few reactions to Ms. Jordan's cover of Suspicious Minds and I'm flummoxed by some of the comments as none have picked up on the fact that Angelina's physical features have finally caught up with her voice. Beautiful. Her voice has always been mature. It's phenomenal. Hearing those first notes gave me the same goose bumps as when I first saw her on AGT. Something to consider.
Angelina has been a professional ever since she won Norway’s Got Talent! She has had an album and singles for sale on all platforms, her “It’s Magic” album is still in and out of the top 10 iTunes jazz chart, and she signed her contract with Republic Records 2 years ago, and she has already performed a song for a movie soundtrack. We are talking about a decade of performing as a professional! I know she’s only 16, but she still has been on the music scene for a decade, yes, her mother and extended family have protected her and insisted on her having a normal childhood, but there was no stopping that train from the time she won NGT!
Early in Elvis’s career, he was singing love songs and gospel with greater intention and feeling, with fewer gimmicks and silliness. His addictions changed him and his greatness was lost in that darkness. I really miss the early Elvis. Angelina Jordan’s version is achingly heartbreaking and captures the original meaning of the song.
G’day guys I’m a first time subscriber, and I’m watching you from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 Elvis was a black belt 🥋 In Karate that’s the movements you’re seeing him perform on stage.!! Love you both take care stay safe.!! 👏♥️✌️🌎👋
Completely different song. Angelina's arrangement makes it more of a story or at least takes the story out of the core of Elvis version. Such a different feel. Absolutely beautiful.
😊 yay missed you both so much….. hi to your sister 😊woke up this morning what a pleasure to see you both again been waiting for awhile for you both to react to Angelina can’t wait for more…. You have a lot to catch up with there’s some amazing Concert videos of AJ thank you guys
Hook line& sinker, she had me! I fell in on absolute love with her voice and artestistry!SO DYNAMIC! I WAS IN HER COMPLETE HAND (TRANCE)! B-E-AUTIFIL!!!😇
My comments is simple, AJ a little girl prodigy doing her own rendition cover a legendary song, from one's of most musical icon in 20th century. I believe, Elvis has put up a smile at the heaven and finally found someone's able to pass down his legacy to a new era of music.
Great job by the brothers J... you will come to realise more and more that words are not sufficient to describe this girl...the most amazing characteristic regarding Angelina is that she is the only artist that truly makes a song to become manifest. This girl is SOMETHING else.
OMG!...I am such a fan of Angelina! I am beginning to think that she is an old soul singer reincarnated! Lol She sometimes reminds me of Amy Winehouse when she uses that raspiness. This rendition of Elvis' "Suspicious Minds: was awesome. I would love to hear what she can do with "I'll Never Fall In Love Again".I 🙏🙏🙏💞
Nostalgia. The 'second hand antiques' environment is nostalgic. Her hair duplicates the 70's era. Priscilla Presley wore her hair high and long much like Angelina's in the video. This rendition depicting such reminiscing, the guitar, the microphone, the old piano, wealth of chandeliers, her sways, her clothes, the children (memories)... absolutely brilliant! I was 8yo when Elvis came to Stockton, California. He performed at the Stockton Auditorium. I am now 72yo... he was a BIG deal! Movie star, Military, Performer... Records sold worldwide by the millions. His earlier years were very robust. Personally fueled by drugs to keep him up, and to keep him down (to rest). He was completely controlled by "The Colonel". Driven to suicide by ambitious money hungry greedy people, and could no longer perform as agile, he just wanted to STOP! So, he overdosed and died, age 42. He is now resting in Graceland TN, his home.
I won't take credit for this comment, which I saw somewhere else, but it struck me so true. Where Angelina was covering and learning from each cover. Now, she brings herself, a complete artist to every song, and makes them truly hers. I really appreciate the effort you both make in bringing each review to us. It makes you unique. I sometimes think if I hear, "If you know X, let me know in the comments" even if it's something that could be searched in a second, I will lose my mind. lol. Thanks guys.
Very nice reaction, you guys are definitely different then other reactors. Angelina Jordan is also uniquely different and what a great journey we are all following!
Great video, guys! Here are some inputs on Angelina’s music video: We see her growing up in the «antique shop» of great music from the past, refurbishing the classics and in time confidently making them new and relevant again. Nods to Elvis: the «gracelandesque» interior, the black leather suit/red Hagström guitar and magenta-dressed musician (Republic LA studio manager Rob Christie!) which are all from the 1968 «Comeback Special», the Priscilla Presley beehive hairdo, and a very slight raising of the upper lip!
Those little sprinkles of vocal fry, rifts and runs is the magical portion to what you are calling Angels genre. She can make you cry, smile, feel that sense of security, overwhelm you with goosebumps and emotions, give you a face lift, put you in a trans, you name it she does it all just by opening her mouth. Thank you for your reaction to Angelina guys.
Great reaction guys. Angelina interpreted and told the story, in my opinion, the way it should be told. Her interpretation was much more suitable to the lyrics of the song. At this time, Angelina has definitely found her voice and is breaking out as an artist for the world. The concerts she just did in Norway were fantastic. There are a ton of fan-made videos out there from the concerts. Here is a sampling of my favorites from the concerts: "Mount Everest"- ua-cam.com/video/DYVxnY06BWw/v-deo.html "Killing me Softly" - ua-cam.com/video/haAhsQwICY0/v-deo.html "I Have Nothing" - ua-cam.com/video/bELcgA4S7mM/v-deo.html "Fly me to the Moon" - ua-cam.com/video/Xw5X-gMUijU/v-deo.html "Crazy" - ua-cam.com/video/QOrcx0OZx-w/v-deo.html "All of Me" - ua-cam.com/video/CR2wlWFxvGY/v-deo.html "You Don't Own Me" - ua-cam.com/video/Tw_osE6J_0o/v-deo.html "Bang Bang" - ua-cam.com/video/z0PvoYK8j4o/v-deo.html
This sounded like the real Elvis.His love songs,made him a heartthrob.you caught him at the end of his career. Go back and check him out . His beautiful deep vibrato made him every woman’s his.Angelina did him proud.I would never call Angelina’s voice powerful.I would call her songs delicate,elegant.mesmerising. A straight to the heart voice
This genius lays bear the soul of a song......... For her, if you notice, the song is always paramount, and she, the singer, always always serves it to the audience, with her magical vocal paintbrush......
I always enjoy your reactions guys! Great review of Elvis and his original. The fact that Angelina was able to take this iconic hit song and reinvent it into a contemporary masterpiece shows her artistic genius. Thanks.
Of course, as everyone has already said, Angelina is positively AMAZING. I would just like to add a little thing some may have not noticed. She is dressed in a black leather outfit that looks very reminiscent of Elvis’ look in his 1968 comeback special. But her hair is reminiscent of Priscilla Presley’s bouffant hairdo. The way she combined the two looks gives the song a new twist in meaning as it was often thought that the song was Elvis’ way of trying to apologize to Priscilla. A very subtle but impressive statement.
Please do a reaction to Elvis when he was in his prime like if I can dream. You won’t regret it. If you need motivation watch the trailer for the Elvis movie. It should help you understand his impact on the music you are reacting to. Not to mention if you do it soon you will be getting thousands of views. As one of the most searched for terms is Elvis reaction
This was a tribute to Elvis,that’s why she was wearing leather and the guitar she was playing actually belongs to Elvis,how cool is that .This was out of this world 🌎 Elvis would be so proud of her . Angelina can sing anything. I’m a massive Elvis fan .So I was so happy when she sang this. Just amazing. Great Reaction love from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴👼👸🏻👏👏🎸🎸🎸
Great reaction - your sister should see this. There is something in her performance that takes it to another level - there are just no words to describe. Her recent concerts in Norway have many incredible performance that you should react to!
Elvis does an iconic version of "How great tho art" and if you are unaware of Angelina's version its very different than anything else she has ever done
Angelina doesn't cover songs - she uncovers them and delivers their essence to heart. Wonderful!
Spot on!
Spot on❤
She is like taking us to places we never been before in any song she covers. What a gift from God!
You people need help
Did you guys know Elvis grew up in Memphis, Tennessee in a poor and diverse community. He did not see color his music was for all people. He was truly the King 💜🙏💜🌸🫶
No loud band, no light show, no dancers, just two instruments to accompany the MAGIC that Angelina Jordan brings like no one else can.
At 7 she was killing us, at 16 she is taking us places we have never been.
So true❤️
I fell in love with Angelina when I saw her perform at 7 years of age and still love her. Angelina, stay beautiful, stay sweet and I wish you all the success in the world.
Absolutely matured voice with such depth.
And you need it done all those tricks jiggly things all she needs is her voice and piano or guitar and she goes tell you the story the meaning of the song the communicator storage teller Angelina is a generation singer Be talking about Angelina Jordan Astar 50 years from now how great of singer she was or
is
Angelina's version is class and melancholy, and Elvis version is pure spectacle.
It was a show for his fans, which is what many performers do.
Pure spectacle? I disagree. Elvis, as AJ paid tribute to, was the total package.
Elvis was a once in a lifetime artist. Historians have listed him as one who was a major impact on our music and culture. I believe Angelina is also a once in a lifetime artist and her star will shine even brighter in the future.
Exactly!!!!
Angelina version is soulfull and Incomparable!!!!Even in Elvis version has some tone oscillations!!!
I’m at its self not the music in this performance it was him Mimi Mimi like a marathon like it never end
I'm 64 years old I love Elvis when I was growing up he was one of the best I think she did a beautiful job singing this song she is so beautiful though I love her voice
When you look at the setting, lighting, camera work, and the costuming, this is a beautiful performance. But when you add the symbolisms in this Elvis song, plus the exquisitely beautiful voice of Angelina Jordan - I believe this is worthy of Grammy consideration. Jared & Jordan, nice to see you back to Angelina!
The Grammys should be renamed The Angelina Awards.
@@9Ballr 🤣😂 I hope you are right!
Right Bill .. this is for sure worthy a Grammy .. also like her latest of "I have nothing" .. even these are not official released as a Music Track to enter the Charts and Stations of the World ..
I guess both of these are on her 1st Album .. because why did she upload them on her Official Channel and not on her Cover Channel?? .. so many things to speculate .. and I guess until her Album release we get some more "Ear-Candy" very soon and in maybe a shorter time period ..
and in case you didn't see it .. Angelina also dropped her 'Allsang Pa Grensen' live Performance today on her Official Channel ..
Bill, I believe a Grammy is an excellent choice for this effort.
The leather costume is from Elvis's come back concert the hair style is Priscilla, his wife and the child growing up is their daughter all representing the trap he felt he was caught in at that stage of his life
It is the same antique store in Hollywood that she used for My Funny Valentine
AJ plays guitar, keyboard/piano, violin and flute. Don’t forget she writes music and was the youngest author in Norway to publish a book.
No loud band, no light show, no dancers, just two instruments to accompany the MAGIC that Angelina Jordan brings like no one else can.
At 7 she was killing us, at 16 she is taking us places we have never been.
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, Excellent ART Cole McCarthy! Great touch, the cousins and sister get a cameo. Mery, you should be so proud, AJ's grandma produced this. (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 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.
Exactly Larry .. also Angelinas latest Video was recorded in that shop - I Have Nothing (Whitney Houston Cover) - ua-cam.com/video/iX0g99jN26U/v-deo.html .. @Jared & Jordan .. that is the next one to do .. it's a must .. and fasten your Seatbelts ..
She hasn't played the violin and flute since she was 6/7 years old. Concentrates only on guitar and piano now.
@@wajj1842 I did not say she has been playing the violin, or flute, I stated that she has the ability to play all 4. Thanks for the reply and have a great day.
@@mtsteuerung6916 Why yes it was.
@@larrypifer1103 I guess it depends on how one interprets your statement, Larry: "AJ plays guitar, ..piano, violin and flute". I didn't see the "ability to play" in that statement, so the average reader would assume that she actually "plays" those instruments now, when in fact she hasn't played the flute or violin in about 10 years. And I would guess that since she hasn't played them, her "ability" to do so would be very limited.
You both have followed her into the dimensional place where her soul of music will make her final stand of identity...moving her into a dimension of life she was and is born to share to the world ....Its more than her guys and everything she is in life and the infinite place where souls live and points us all to place of God WHO IS MUSIC...welcome and thank you for seeing the beginning that will never end in Angelina and others that you will see as well...keep seeing and know that you two are twinned - for our world is changing and you will be a guide as Angelina is a POINTER to the unknown joy of infinitiy....
Only complaint is it didn't last long enough!! I wanted more of Angelina!🤩
He learned to sing in a black Pentecostal church. When they were filled with the spirit they sang using these motions. It wasn’t disrespectful, it shows letting the music take control of your body, soul and spirit!
Yes, I wanted it to end. His LV shows and they were spectacles, are one thing but Angelina Jordan's cover shows the meaning behind the song.
Please do more Angelina reviews ? With your sister also!
Originally thought two was better than one. Then your sister joined you for a reaction. Now we know, three is better than two.
Absolutely need to watch her new cover of 'I have nothing' which soars to a new level!
AGREE....
the black and white studio version in this same location!
My interpretation of the symbolism of this music video: First, and foremost; Angelina Jordan at 16 is the epitome of a Storytelling ARTIST, and she has the ability to take us by the hand and lead us down an imaginary path that we visualize as reality. The remarkable fact is that we experience this in each of her performances. In this video we see her as a married woman in her mid to late 20s. As the video starts out, we see dishes, and it is a symbol of a home. As AJ sings the phrase “Were caught in a trap, I can’t walk out” we see 3 small children, this to me is a marriage where the children come first. If it were AJ by herself, she would not stay in a relation without trust.
AJ adapts the performance to pay homage but then makes it her own and so much better than the original.
This performance of elvises is meant live for a vegas crowd which he entertains completely to petfection you can compare his studio version to this and pick your poison. But if I was going to a live performance in vegas like I have done I much prefer Elvis.I guess when I’m ready to go to sleep I’ll put aj on the playlist
There is only one way for Angelina, she is climbing to the biggest star on the universe of music ..well reaction guys👍
That is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard in my life.Angelina is the best ever.I'm going to get ever song that she sings and just listen to her all time can't get enough of her singing .We all love you Angelina .Your fan all Way's.
Once again, Angelina sprinkled her angel dust on another cover and took ownership of it. Pianist, Rob Christie wrote the music arrangement and Angelina created the vocal arrangement. It is a stand alone master work that I have no doubt Elvis would have been blown away with this rendition and the performances of Angelina and Rob.
As always, Angelina makes each cover her own while honoring the artist. The leather outfit and the red guitar is similar to what Elvis used in his 68 TV Special. The hair is similar to Priscilla's beehive hairdo from the 60s.
I think that the red guitar she used here is THE guitar from Elvis' 1968 Comeback Special 🙂 It's owned by the man on the piano, artistic director of Angelina's record label Republic Records, Rob Christie. That's what I've heard anyway 🙂
@@poolhallsharkyes, it's a similar copy. The actual Hagstrom Viking II Elvis used was loaned to him for the '68 Special. I read the original sold for more than 600,000.
@@darrowcelaya4310 Yes, I heard that, too. Sold to an Australian guy. But then I heard that it now belongs to Rob. I heard that it had been confirmed by Rob on his instgram account or smt like that. I haven't seen it myself though. Thanks for the feedback 👍
The beehive made me think of Amy Winehouse.
Truly, Angelina has been able to sing at many different levels since she was seven. She chooses to sing any song depending on her own individual interpretation of the song. She is her own "Interpretation of any song" Now, tell me any artist that has ever accomplished at her age, at any age?
Angelina is probably the most unique vocalist around today. She makes you understand a songs lyrics. She tells the story of every song. We are very fortunate to have an artist like her. She puts her stamp on every song. Remember she is 16 years old.
A beautiful cover by Angelina and a visually stunning video. Love all the homages to Elvis and Priscilla -- the blue suede shoes, the leather outfit, the red Hagstrom Viking guitar, Priscilla's beehive hairstyle, the beautiful old furniture which is reminiscent of Graceland. It's a perfect video.
You always made it so great and interesting. Where are you, I miss you so much. Angelina Jordan has so many new songs we need you please come back:)Danke:)
You need to take into consideration the fact Angelina’s physical growth plays a key role in her vocal development.
Yessss, I wanted it to END when Elvis sang it… with AJ I want it to go on and on and on..💖 Thank you guys, so good😘
this is an EPIC performance from AJ! As soon as she let the first notes out I was shook! The symbolism is over the top! even with the little sister and nice portraying her own youth till now...just over the top!
... cousins, not neices ...
I have no idea why my comment aren’t showing Up. The way you saw Elvis was clownish.Really check out his early love songs his deep low vibrato went straight to the heart. I have pretty much everything of Angelina’s songs. I wouldn’t call her voice powerful.Her voice is soft ,deep,delicate and mesmerising.
@@melyndamonea8734 I don't think this is a reply to MY comment...but it showed up here, The only thing I said that was out of place is that the girls in the video are cousins, not niece or sisters...
What a great idea to show Elvis’ version first! I am not familiar with Elvis work either but it makes me wanna watch the movie. All I know is he was an icon, and still is. But Angelina, to me, is the one singer who gives me shivers. Definitely one of the best voices out there, regardless of how young she is. I’ve always said that the greatest voice I have ever heard was that of Whitney Houston. But Angelina might just be my number 2!
When you played the original w Elvis, I just sat here, wishing it was over soon...
ANGELina made me listen to the lyrics and feel the song❣ You are point on, as always... not many reactiors can keep me occupied for 30+mins, but you can, so kudos for that.
Everything in this video is done with intention, from the Blue Suede Shoes, to her outfit, the guitar, to the pianist and his cherise suit. and the "BeeHive- hair do" like Priscilla Presley had when she met Elvis.
You wrote: "When you played the original w Elvis, I just sat here, wishing it was over soon... "I know how you feel, I had to fast-forward after the first 10 seconds. 🙂
lena You're hallucinating if you think there are blue suede shoes in her video.
@@103mrg more like...these boots were made for walking...
@@103mrg OK.. hallcinating, strong use of word😂 maybe I'm colourblind🤔 and yes ofc also "these(blue suede) shoes were made for walking..... 😘
@@LeNaInLoVe I am colourblind, yet I still recognized the trickery of light and shadow when she was on the settee.....Go to the original video, full screen. Click the settings icon and change the playback speed to .5
At about :21, just before she pulls off the sheet from the piano, what do you see on her feet?
Elvis Presley owned Graceland (research that), and Angelina Jordan entered Graceland, uncovering the furniture, looking up at the elegant chandeliers, and singing Suspicious Minds in a reminiscent, melancholy way, as though she were still grieving the huge loss of Elvis, as we all still are. Again, she understands her audience, and can take our heartstrings and just twist them to a point of emotional entanglement around the words she sings. She is dressed for the era, and mostly carries that guitar to bring more authenticity to the song.
Angelina Jordan has a voice like the King, Elvis, King off pop Michael Jackson, and we have now Angelina Jordan she has the best female voice ever, her voice touch your hart, and you will gett tears in your eyes, she greater then great. Greetings from a big fan from Holland.
Angelina is so special that we cannot begin to understand what she is doing to us. She needs to be discovered by the whole world, and soon. her concerts in Norway were just a glimpse of her greatness, a teaser
Guys, this was just a stellar analysis as it is every time! You asked about the symbolism of the video. This is the general consensus. The antique store and Angelina taking the sheets off of the mirror and the furniture and the piano represent uncovering Elvis's vintage past. During the Elvis special which I believe was in 1969, he wore the black leather suit and boots, and had the red guitar as Angelina does. Angelina's beehive hairdo was the same type of hairdo that Elvis wife Priscilla had. The three young girls are Angelina's sister and two cousins and represent Angelina at different ages growing up. Angelina also used the vintage microphone. The pianist was Rob Christie, head of Republic records where Angelina is signed, and Mery Zamani is Angelina's grandmother who directed. You may have noticed that Angelina wore boots at the very beginning but once she started performing she was barefoot. There is also a scene with the camera pans down as it looks at the mirror with Angelina's reflection. As it pans to the bottom you see her bare feet in the bottom part of the mirror. I'm not sure if I've missed anything but I hope that helps.
you nailed it......
You got it spot on, except two small items. Elvis' Comeback Special was in 1968, and Rob Christie is the Studio Director at Republic, not the head. The head (founder and CEO) is Monte Lipman.
@@johnbattles1002 thanks for the corrections. I couldn't decide whether the special was 1968 or 69 so I guessed. It didn't really change the gist of the message. Hopefully I still get an A for trying! 😁
Just one small correction, Angelinas grandmother was the executive producer, not the director.
@@ronraskind , you definitely get an A! Lol!
In any event- Elvis would love this. Thanx guys!
Yes I watched the Elvis movie and highly recommend it. Austin Butler deserves an oscar for his performance. I grew up listening to Elvis as my late father was a fan. We always listened to Blue Christmas over the holidays. What I especially loved about the movie was how the director brought in contemporary music and overlayed with the old... impressive! I don't know how I stumbled on your channel but so glad I did! I appreciated how you handled this... first learning about Elvis and then watching the video for Suspicious Minds to better understand before exploring Angelina Jordan's cover. I loved the piano at the beginning... it hinted at what was to come... I agree with what you shared and appreciate the respect she gives to the original and yet making it her own - a true artist! Thanks for this and I will definitely be exploring your channel and recommending it! Take care!!
She’s a fantastic story teller! Her power in her voice, so emotional. Thank you 👌🙏💫❤️
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 💖💖💖 Not only her voice, but her delivery is also her gift!
Thank you, Jared, & Jordan, for your honest reaction to Angelina Jordan's cover of Elvis, Suspicious Mind. Now, maybe with this song, you may understand Angelina Jordan just a little better.
I love how Angelina comes in strong and uses the bridge as both and intro and outro. The arrangement, the slower tempo, the crystal clear piano play and her melancholic singing make me really listen to the story of love being destroyed by distrust and she makes me feel the sadness of is. Because it is a really a sad song about a toxic relationship with no way out.
Elvis performance was masterful and he knew how to entertain the audience and to have fun on stage. It was and is fun to watch. What I do not really feel is in his performance is that he is distraught about being caught in a inescapable trap.
I saw the Elvis movie. Is is beautiful and sad at the same time: he was really caught in an inescapable trap himself.
She is so amazing ad beautiful. Her voice is just gorgeous 😍
I bought the movie "Elvis" from Amazon for $25. It's pretty darn good. You have got to watch this movie to fully comprehend how brilliant Angelina's "Suspicious Minds" really is. She captures the mood and arc of the life of Elvis with a poignancy that is breathtaking.
Her voice is so powerful, soft, silky smooth soulful voice. I just stumbled onto your Chanel and Angelina Jordan. I’m an instant Angel!! And I’m subscribing to your channel! Keep up the good work!! Hugs!!!
I can't wait for you guys to react to her new cover of Whitney Houston I Have Nothing in studio you will be floored I promise you :)
Btw, Elvis is the all time biggest selling single artist, over 500 Million. That's also when most of his sales were from when people actually had to go to a store and buy his records.
Gday boys👋….Great to see you reacting to our Angelina again🙏💜❤️……We all love your in-depth analysis of her amazing talent😄⚡️✨💥🌟
I'm really looking forward to this one, Jared & Jordan, because you guys always do a fantastic job.
She totally got the essence of the lyrics, absolutely stunning interpretation!
I can't watch anyone else but Angelina she has all of me:)
She takes every song that she sings to another level I’ve never heard any other artist do what she does she’s from another plant breathtaking!!
Hey guys! Thank you for once again diving into your reaction. You guys just go so in-depth it's amazing the work you do.
Angelina is my favorite singer of all time. Her voice touches my soul. She honors Elvis in this video, even has her hair like young Priscilla. Her leather outfit and red guitar is for Elvis.
Elvis was always just beautiful!! I grew up in his era! Elvis was loved.💞
U brought me such unbelievable nostalgia ❤️
Exactly. Dominates the stage and always had control of the audience. The King 👑
Angelina showed her respect for Elvis by using one of the guitars he played in his " '68 Comeback Special", a black leather jumpsuit similar to the one he wore during that performance, and his wife's, Priscilla Presley, beehive hairstyle. And, of course, her more laid-back, Angelina interpretation of "Suspicious Minds".
I get excited when you decide to reach to our Angelina Thanks! Angelina has matured and reached a new level of her art! She has taken Suspicious Minds and made it her new song! WOW!
She brings this song to life and she does it without backup singers. what a phenomenal talent
Symbolism: Priscilla Presley's hairdo. Outfit and red guitar style he wore in is come back concert. Antique store shows her dusting off old music. The cousins and sister represent her growing up during her musical journey. Her grandma Mery did a wonderful production job on this video. OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE !!!!
Elvis Presley and his producer Felton Jarvis cleverly covered this *Mark James song from 1968 in 1969* ( ok, just his producer) , Elvis' last #1 hit in the US and #7 of his most successful songs. Felton Jarvis took the original arrangement completely and pushed the song with more speed and additional instruments (wind instruments, violin etc.) and a spectacular backing choir (in the studio version) and of course with Elvis Presley's voice. Pianist Rob Christie changed the musical arrangement and Angelina the vocal arrangement, but she didn't change the lyrics. Angelina changes the lyric structure, starting with the bridge and giving the song a different meaning. Once again many people don't hear and understand the song until when Angelina tells the story. 💯 *AJ* 💯👣
Yeah! She’s something special, isn’t she? Pure Velvet Perfection! This vocal arrangement was all Angelina, I have no doubt in collaboration with a stellar team including Rob Christie & Mery Zamani her Grandmother. She is a Master Storyteller. The video is shot in the same Antique Store that she did 'My Funny Valentine' on Valentine’s Day. I believe it is in LA near her home. 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 can bring tears to your eyes. Epic. Incredible. There are no words. Epic! Wow, Wow, Wow! Could it be more Beautiful? ♥👣👸🏻🎷 Yeah she did Concerts in Norway last month! Album to drop soon! So much to look forward to.♥👣👸🏻🎷
I base my interpretation on my knowledge of Angelina's journey from an 18 month old little girl singing a "classic" of music history 'I Will Always Love You' . She has been listening to these classics on repeat on U-Tube since then under the guidance and inspiration of her Grandmother Mery Zamani. She has been performing these classics since her first time in studio at 6 yrs old.. She has continued this journey through her 1st introduction to the world with her "Classic'" 'Gloomy Sunday and following with her many performances at her many Jazz Festivals, TV performances, Concerts, and charity events, studio recordings and practice sessions at home accompanied or not. The location in the Antique store represents these classics (like the furniture) of another era. To me she portrays wonder at all these classics surrounding her. as she has travelled this road. Her tribute to Elvis is at her present age, today, each stage represented by her cousins and sister and ending with Angelina herself on the couch still admiring all this history surrounding her. The beautiful rendition of the song, and other tributes are in the leather outfit, Guitar and hair a tribute to Priscilla. Just my interpretation but it makes the most sense to me. .♥👣👸🏻
Well said, and I agree wholeheartedly with you. Super
Thank you.
"Depth" is the magic word. Everything about this video was spectacular, the set, Rob Christie on the keys and, of course, Angelina. She told us the story of the song like no other and that's what she does.
The second time is better? The 3rd, 4th, and on and on it gets better and better each time.
I don't know about you but I don't believe there is anyone like her or that there has never been anyone like her, ever. The depth and range of her voice combined with her soulful and a hint of jazz delivery makes her very unique but that's only half of it. When you heart gets touched by her because her soulfulness is so genuine and it transforms into a strong and yet sensitive voice, full of love, your heart cannot resist. When she sings and the song is over our comment is always, "Oh, it's over already?" With most great artists they have the ability to draw you in and entertain you to a degree where you really appreciate their efforts. Then the song is over. With Angelina, once the song is over it stays with the listener to a degree whereby they will never forget the song and will play it over and over and their reaction each time will be like it was the fist time they heard her sing the song.
Great job, guys. Angelina takes it up a notch when on stage performing to a live audience. She just exudes confidence and charisma while still staying humble and appreciative....quite a unique combination.
🎧 yes AJ always makes the song up ⬆️ to to a much higher level ☝️
☝️
Good reaction guys. Love the deep dive. Right, it was obviously a tribute to Elvis, one of her mentors. Her black suit, red guitar, the piano players red suit were all part of his 1968 Comeback Special on TV. The chandlers and gold frames I believe represented his wealth and opulence for the time. And the mirrors reflected his handsomeness and always on sense of self, the pressure of living up to the hype of being the king. In many ways it was a sad life that ended sadly and far too early for the innovator that bridged many divides. His life also could serve as a warning to her to not let the hype overwhelm her. We should all hope and pray she remains well grounded and balanced. But as always, her focus remained on the true intent of the song in message and feeling. No one interprets, delivers, and elicits the intended passion and emotion of a song better than Angelina.
She’s absolutely incredible! Angelic! I am overwhelmed by her beautiful and pure talent!❤️🙏😇🥰💕💕💕🎶🎵🎤
Suspicious minds is my favorite Elvis song
AJ has been a professional since she was 7 years old.
I've watched a few reactions to Ms. Jordan's cover of Suspicious Minds and I'm flummoxed by some of the comments as none have picked up on the fact that Angelina's physical features have finally caught up with her voice. Beautiful. Her voice has always been mature. It's phenomenal. Hearing those first notes gave me the same goose bumps as when I first saw her on AGT. Something to consider.
Angelina has been a professional ever since she won Norway’s Got Talent! She has had an album and singles for sale on all platforms, her “It’s Magic” album is still in and out of the top 10 iTunes jazz chart, and she signed her contract with Republic Records 2 years ago, and she has already performed a song for a movie soundtrack. We are talking about a decade of performing as a professional!
I know she’s only 16, but she still has been on the music scene for a decade, yes, her mother and extended family have protected her and insisted on her having a normal childhood, but there was no stopping that train from the time she won NGT!
Early in Elvis’s career, he was singing love songs and gospel with greater intention and feeling, with fewer gimmicks and silliness. His addictions changed him and his greatness was lost in that darkness. I really miss the early Elvis.
Angelina Jordan’s version is achingly heartbreaking and captures the original meaning of the song.
Angelina is number one in my top 10 her voice is like medication soothing relaxing warm summer day she’s the best Vocalist-in the whole wide world.
G’day guys I’m a first time subscriber, and I’m watching you from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
Elvis was a black belt 🥋 In Karate that’s the movements you’re seeing him perform on stage.!!
Love you both take care stay safe.!!
👏♥️✌️🌎👋
Completely different song. Angelina's arrangement makes it more of a story or at least takes the story out of the core of Elvis version. Such a different feel. Absolutely beautiful.
😊 yay missed you both so much….. hi to your sister 😊woke up this morning what a pleasure to see you both again been waiting for awhile for you both to react to Angelina can’t wait for more…. You have a lot to catch up with there’s some amazing Concert videos of AJ thank you guys
Hook line& sinker, she had me! I fell in on absolute love with her voice and artestistry!SO DYNAMIC! I WAS IN HER COMPLETE HAND (TRANCE)! B-E-AUTIFIL!!!😇
wow, are you kidding? her tone and beauty is fantastic. thank you. keep on giving us today's music, she is what we need.
More to come!
My comments is simple, AJ a little girl prodigy doing her own rendition cover a legendary song, from one's of most musical icon in 20th century. I believe, Elvis has put up a smile at the heaven and finally found someone's able to pass down his legacy to a new era of music.
Great job by the brothers J... you will come to realise more and more that words are not sufficient to describe this girl...the most amazing characteristic regarding Angelina is that she is the only artist that truly makes a song to become manifest.
This girl is SOMETHING else.
OMG!...I am such a fan of Angelina! I am beginning to think that she is an old soul singer reincarnated! Lol She sometimes reminds me of Amy Winehouse when she uses that raspiness. This rendition of Elvis' "Suspicious Minds: was awesome. I would love to hear what she can do with "I'll Never Fall In Love Again".I 🙏🙏🙏💞
OMG.She brought chills and tears to my eyes right away.She does a great job with this song.
Nostalgia. The 'second hand antiques' environment is nostalgic.
Her hair duplicates the 70's era. Priscilla Presley wore her hair high and long much like Angelina's in the video. This rendition depicting such reminiscing, the guitar, the microphone, the old piano, wealth of chandeliers, her sways, her clothes, the children (memories)... absolutely brilliant!
I was 8yo when Elvis came to Stockton, California. He performed at the Stockton Auditorium. I am now 72yo... he was a BIG deal! Movie star, Military, Performer... Records sold worldwide by the millions. His earlier years were very robust. Personally fueled by drugs to keep him up, and to keep him down (to rest). He was completely controlled by "The Colonel". Driven to suicide by ambitious money hungry greedy people, and could no longer perform as agile, he just wanted to STOP! So, he overdosed and died, age 42.
He is now resting in Graceland TN, his home.
I won't take credit for this comment, which I saw somewhere else, but it struck me so true. Where Angelina was covering and learning from each cover. Now, she brings herself, a complete artist to every song, and makes them truly hers. I really appreciate the effort you both make in bringing each review to us. It makes you unique. I sometimes think if I hear, "If you know X, let me know in the comments" even if it's something that could be searched in a second, I will lose my mind. lol. Thanks guys.
Very nice reaction, you guys are definitely different then other reactors. Angelina Jordan is also uniquely different and what a great journey we are all following!
Even as a child she had this sultry powerful beautiful voice.
Great video, guys! Here are some inputs on Angelina’s music video: We see her growing up in the «antique shop» of great music from the past, refurbishing the classics and in time confidently making them new and relevant again. Nods to Elvis: the «gracelandesque» interior, the black leather suit/red Hagström guitar and magenta-dressed musician (Republic LA studio manager Rob Christie!) which are all from the 1968 «Comeback Special», the Priscilla Presley beehive hairdo, and a very slight raising of the upper lip!
Those little sprinkles of vocal fry, rifts and runs is the magical portion to what you are calling Angels genre. She can make you cry, smile, feel that sense of security, overwhelm you with goosebumps and emotions, give you a face lift, put you in a trans, you name it she does it all just by opening her mouth. Thank you for your reaction to Angelina guys.
Great reaction guys. Angelina interpreted and told the story, in my opinion, the way it should be told. Her interpretation was much more suitable to the lyrics of the song. At this time, Angelina has definitely found her voice and is breaking out as an artist for the world. The concerts she just did in Norway were fantastic. There are a ton of fan-made videos out there from the concerts. Here is a sampling of my favorites from the concerts:

This sounded like the real Elvis.His love songs,made him a heartthrob.you caught him at the end of his career. Go back and check him out . His beautiful deep vibrato made him every woman’s his.Angelina did him proud.I would never call Angelina’s voice powerful.I would call her songs delicate,elegant.mesmerising. A straight to the heart voice
Once again, an excellent reaction. About every thing in this video is symbolism. From the people, clothes and props.
This genius lays bear the soul of a song.........
For her, if you notice, the song is always paramount, and she, the singer, always always serves it to the audience, with her magical vocal paintbrush......
The film is wonderful go see it, quite authentic. Tom Hanks is spectacular as are all the other actors.
by Elvis you dont nknopw wone its end, by Angelina you whis it never end.
I always enjoy your reactions guys! Great review of Elvis and his original. The fact that Angelina was able to take this iconic hit song and reinvent it into a contemporary masterpiece shows her artistic genius. Thanks.
Of course, as everyone has already said, Angelina is positively AMAZING. I would just like to add a little thing some may have not noticed. She is dressed in a black leather outfit that looks very reminiscent of Elvis’ look in his 1968 comeback special. But her hair is reminiscent of Priscilla Presley’s bouffant hairdo. The way she combined the two looks gives the song a new twist in meaning as it was often thought that the song was Elvis’ way of trying to apologize to Priscilla.
A very subtle but impressive statement.
Its a brilliant cover ❤️ Finally the lyrics make sense ❤️ Angelina is totally awesome 👍 The Arrangement and her voice was amazing ❤️
Wowza. So beautiful!
Please do a reaction to Elvis when he was in his prime like if I can dream. You won’t regret it. If you need motivation watch the trailer for the Elvis movie. It should help you understand his impact on the music you are reacting to. Not to mention if you do it soon you will be getting thousands of views. As one of the most searched for terms is Elvis reaction
All that Elvis stuff in the background. Y'all showed the contrast, Elvis on stage, opposed to what was really going on in real life. She nailed it.
This was a tribute to Elvis,that’s why she was wearing leather and the guitar she was playing actually belongs to Elvis,how cool is that .This was out of this world 🌎 Elvis would be so proud of her . Angelina can sing anything. I’m a massive Elvis fan .So I was so happy when she sang this. Just amazing. Great Reaction love from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴👼👸🏻👏👏🎸🎸🎸
denise "the guitar......actually belongs to Elvis". How could that be when Elvis never owned it? It was borrowed for his performance.
Beautiful-exquisite- excellent control & she is commanding the stage!
🔥💛🔥💛🔥
Angelina Jordan & only her
@@williamarmstrong9008 Yes 🍃💚🍃
One of her best songs without a doubt, she uses harmony type of hum,she has arrived
Great reaction - your sister should see this. There is something in her performance that takes it to another level - there are just no words to describe. Her recent concerts in Norway have many incredible performance that you should react to!
Elvis does an iconic version of "How great tho art" and if you are unaware of Angelina's version its very different than anything else she has ever done
Beautiful ❤❤
