This was a masterpiece of artistry, of vocal skills, piano, and symbolism. One of Angelina's best works to date in my opinion. I believe is a taste of things to come! Thank you for your support of Angelina.
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.
Angelina has all the tools, voice, pace, ,style, and awareness of the songs, but she also carries a love of the music and a respect for the people that came before her that recorded these works decades and decades ago..whether it be Elvis, Aretha, Dinah Washington, Whitney & recently Adele, Amy and scores of others, she brings the complete package to the table & let's us the audience in to her world to appreciate the glory of music...at 16 this is already a colossal achievement..what comes next is a refinement & a style that will evolve with the years..we are so lucky to witness it...Jamal, i've dug your style from first listening to your Steely Dan reviews & know you're keen to great talent..keep up the great work that you do, bringing it all to us...
So many nice little nods to Elvis in this video..from Priscilla's Beehive hairdo to Elvis's black leather suit & guitar from the '68 Comeback Special. And of course the tie-in with the new movie. Lovely version. Elvis appreciated other people's talent. I'm sure he would love this.💙☮🌿
The moment she started to sing I got chills! This is one of my favorite Elvis songs. She has a fabulous way of interpretation. It's her style! Awesome Jamel!
She has created a complete new Song with the special message of an Angel 💖 be humble and kind to each other.we could not live together with suspicious mind ✌️☮️💃 Look your Hoodie, its a wonderful message from Angelina 💞☮️ peace and love 💕✌️
Hi Hans / Outstanding Eagle Eyes!!! You and Carl Dez one below here have the same mind set!!! Above 100%!!!! Your Amazing my friend!!! The needs this message Now!!!! Everywhere!!! Love & Kindness Now / Forever & Ever Until Time Ends... Super fantastic when everyone is on the same page emotionally!!!
You talk about the confidence level she must have to do this song... Do you remember... Back when you listened to her sing I PUT A SPELL ON YOU??? Even as a child she was fearless. . totally committed, she sings from her heart .. A 🎹, a 🎤, a bit of 🎸... That's all she needs to reach in and give our hearts a big hug!! I love your reactions ❤️🤗 PEACE
Angelina is becoming the voice of a generation..Just like how Elvis was, and The Beatles was...She's a generational talent..Great reaction my friend..Cheers..
Very impressive. I am always enthralled by a new rendition of any song I favor, but mostly those that I do not for a new found appreciation, if possible; yet there are very few that alter my entire perspective of a songs connotation
Did you notice the Pricilla Presley hairdo? Or the Elvis outfit as well as his guitar? Even the piano player was dressed like his band did for that performance. Her Grandmother thought of everything.
This arrangement was brilliantly written, and brilliantly performed. Elvis Presley was the most iconic figure in popular culture in the 20th century, and I feel that Angelina is the perfect artist to rekindle the magic that was Elvis. She breathes life into music like no one else, and where most artists try to speak through their art, Angelina lets the art speak through her.
I have yet to see a singer enveloped in the music as Angelina. Comparatively, other people appear consciously singing notes; the effort is in their faces. Angelina seems to be subconsciously painting emotions with the sounds; she appears to effortlessly float through the song.
With respect, what do you mean by 'Iconic'? Do you mean as in a replacement for religion icons in a post war secular West, or simply a cool leather jacket and a quiff?
She is wearing the beehive style that Pricilla wore. Elvis wore a black leather outfit and played on a Red Hagstrom Viking II guitar during his 68' comeback special.
And now she has the confidence to release a COVER for *drum roll* Angelina Jordan - I Have Nothing (Whitney Houston Cover). Remember the first one you did? That was her doing a tribute as just 12 years old. Just wait until you hear what she did. I liked her tribute,but uuuuuhweeee i got to tell you,i am in LOVE with her cover!
Not heard this before, but for me the real skill here is the original and totally distinctive interpretation of such a well known classic, the simple production really suits this interpretation.
The Hagstrom Red Guitar used in this video is a modern up to date copy of the one Elvis used in 1968. The Hagstrom Red Guitar belonged to musician Al Casey, a member of Elvis’ backing band during the special in 1968. According to an accompanying letter from Casey, he was asked to let Elvis use the guitar by the producers, as they "thought it would look beautiful on camera and with the set." Elvis Presley’s 1942 Martin D-18 acoustic guitar may have recently sold for $1.32 million, but fear not - another of the King’s axes, this one his cherry-red Hagstrom Viking II electric guitar, famous for its use in the legendary '68 Comeback Special, is hitting the block. The semi hollow instrument is a highlight of Kruse GWS Auctions’ Artifacts of Hollywood & Music auction, which begins on March 27. It's being offered with a starting bid of $250,000. By Matt Owen published March 31, 2021 Now, it has been confirmed that the legendary semi-hollow has been sold for a whopping $625,000, with the proud new owner of the lot managing to outbid six other plucky bidders to get their hands on the prized piece of music memorabilia.
16 yo Angelina is tall now. Store apparently owned by family friends. She recorded her Whitney Houston cover here, also. Angelina started this Elvis song with the bridge. Yes, she stripped back the party vibe, gave it a bit of a jazz tone while still honoring Elvis. It opened up the words and truth of the story. Yes, the two small cousins and her sister represent Angelina's growth. This feels very much like a "bird about to fly" video. No more little girl white dresses for her. I am blown away by the gorgeous look and sound of all of this. Yes, her humility remains intact and she's still honoring the soul contract to perform barefoot to remember that girl who is praying for her.
She did all the arrangement for this video she put her hair like Elvis's wife Priscilla had it free wore leathers like Elvis did when he first started Elvis had a red guitar and those were her two cousins the two little ones and the other girl is her sister and the barefooted # 16 years young princess did not disappoint 👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣
She was 16 when she did suspicious minds this girl has not been out on her time away she has learned to play the guitar and she has learned to play a piano what will this girl conquer next 👣👣👣👣👣
Yes, many symbolisms. The hairstyle is what Priscilla Presley wore. The black leather outfit and the red guitar are a tribute to what Elvis wore on his comeback tour. The piano starts as Angelina is removing the dusty cover (dusting old songs). Her baby cousin represents the innocence that we are all born with. Her other cousin running around and looking up represents the curiosity and bewilderment of discovering new things. Her sister Juliette looking regal sitting on an antique chair represents the hope and the dreams of what of what and where she wants to be (The Queen of Music on her Throne). And then Angelina as a 16 years old looking like a rock star as if she is saying: I arrived and I belong here with the best. These are my interpretations. Regardless, Angelina in my eyes is and has been a Superstar for a very long time. Thank you for your genuine reaction and analysis and I look forward to your next Angelina’s reaction video.
An awesome version. For someone who has been a fan of Elvis for many years. No copy, just a lovely remixed version, starting with the bridge and by slowing it down I could now listened more to the words than in the original. And she is just 16!!
Angelina’s in Norway now in a Concert I understand when she leaves or if you had it for Japan to do a concert very busy girl but very talented she won the greatest voices I’ve ever heard
I think I've seen three or four releases since she signed with Republic and I'm so pleased with how they're respecting and supporting her artistic vision. I'm gonna have to go back and listen to the Elvis version (which don't get me wrong I remember really liking) but I'm fairly sure she rearranged it from verse/bridge/verse/bridge/verse to bridge/verse/verse/bridge which, in addition to the about 30% slow down I thought was an incredibly creative choice.
Pulling the cover, dusting off the last top single of his life, one of her iconic mentors. Among all the opulent golden crystal chandeliers, his ever present mirrors, wearing the leather jumpsuit, his Priscilla's hair, the red guitar from his late 60s Comeback Special, Her first line so reminiscent of his deep throaty beautiful voice. It was such a beautiful tribute to one so many of us, including Angelina, loved so much. So many reactors never heard his music or especially him doing this song so they cannot identify the detailed symbolism she devoted to her arrangement of this classic. And once again, she made it hers while honoring him. I love these simple arrangements that put her voice up front. Great piano player. Great reaction.
@Concerned Citizen Elvis sang for Elvis. Angelina sang to tell the story of a relationship on the verge of breaking up. She displayed the conflicting emotions the lyrics deserved, while Elvis just used them as secondary to his performance. That's the difference.
@Concerned Citizen Another idiot who has a problem with the past. Just like those who complained about the content in the movie "Gone With the Wind" and got it removed from the play list. You must be a Democrat Biden supporter who hates anyone who DOESN'T make excuses for the past rather than someone like you who HATES THE PAST. Funny thing is I like to study the past unlike you who hates the past and ends up just like those he hates!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely what I expected. She made this her own song and she did it beautifully. I noticed Juliet sitting there she is going to be as beautiful as Angelina one day. Elvis' version is great and it always was, and it still is one of my favorites. but Angelina's version is equally great and is definitely her own. When I first heard this song I loved it and put it at #3 on my playlist (Angelina Jordan Playlist by Terry M.), about midday I moved it up to #1. The main thing that changed my mind was the power in her voice. I'm not talking about loudness I'm talking about the power she has regardless of how loud or soft she sings. This is a quality that I haven't heard from anyone in my 82 years. This voice has become so unique that it is totally unmatched. Her phrasing in the last bridge is great. And she got Elvis’s ‘Oh Yea’ at the end of the song. The pianist is Rob Christie (3 Grammys), he is the head of the Republic Record department that is responsible for Angelina and other singers. The two small kids are her uncle Mike's kids, and the older girl is Angelina's sister. 🙂
Interestingly AJ is wearing the same black leather outfit and using the same exact guitar that ELVIS wore and used in his 1968 comeback special AJ IS THE NEST FEMALE SINGER IN THE WORLD!! 👣
As an Elvis fan...always nervous when new cover comes out. But this was beautiful! Have to believe as much as Elvis loved and appreciated music and talented artists...he would love it too. Very classy tribute!
We are witnessing the greatest singing artist and composer that ever walked the earth. She was given a gift from a higher power and worker from age 2 to develop it into something beyond any human should be able to do. The barefoot angel is just starting to spread her wings. She brings me to tears every time and I so much appreciate her existence. She is the GOAT and she’s only 17.
I came not because I have not seen this but only because I wanted to see your reaction before you read the comments. Fantastic song respectfully and masterfully covered.
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 doing a Concert in Norway this month! Album to drop soon! So much to look forward to.♥👣👸🏻🎷
Wonderful reaction Jamel.....the little girl is growing up and that voice.....omg, that voice. Beautiful tribute to the King, by the reigning Queen. Those words on your sweatshirt and hat describes Angelina's purpose and exactly who she is. Enjoyed this very much. Cheers and stay well.
Hi Carl / Wow!!! Bullseye!!! Right On!!! Amazing Thinking Mr. Dez... Saw You In In Ms. TeeSpicier Reactions Live Stream with Ms.AJ was the Main Event!!! Thumbs Up!!! Saw Jamel's Sweat Shirt and Ball Cap Too!!! Same Thoughts / Same Feelings Too!!! Take Care - Sir!!! Have a great Weekend - July 2022 DD.
Thanks for your reaction. I know you love Angelina, you used to react to her a lot. I wish you would give her a boost with your successful channel, she is in a moment of takeoff and your support would be very good. Greetings. Gracias por tu reacción. Se que amas a Angelina, antes reaccionabas mucho a ella. Ojalá le dieras un empujón con tu exitoso canal, ella está en un momento de despegue y sería muy bueno tu apoyo. Saludos.
Oui, beaucoup de symbolismes. La coiffure est celle que portait Priscilla Presley. La tenue en cuir noir et la guitare rouge sont un hommage à ce que portait Elvis lors de sa tournée de retour. Le piano démarre alors qu'Angelina enlève la housse poussiéreuse (dépoussiérer les vieilles chansons). Son petit cousin représente l'innocence avec laquelle nous sommes tous nés. Son autre cousin, qui court partout et lève les yeux, représente la curiosité et l'étonnement de découvrir de nouvelles choses. Sa sœur Juliette, à l'allure royale, assise sur une chaise ancienne, représente l'espoir et les rêves de ce qu'elle veut être et où elle veut être (la reine de la musique sur son trône). Et puis Angelina, âgée de 16 ans, ressemble à une rock star, comme si elle disait.. : Je suis arrivée et j'ai ma place ici avec les meilleurs. Ce sont mes interprétations. Quoi qu'il en soit, à mes yeux, Angelina est et a été une Superstar depuis très longtemps. Merci pour votre réaction et votre analyse authentiques et j'attends avec impatience votre prochaine vidéo de réaction d'Angelina.
Great reaction thanks 🙏, Angelina is so special a musical genius, This is a cover of a cover as the original artist didn’t achieve with this song , then Elvis covered the song and it was a huge no 1 hit, like the way Angelina pays tribute to Elvis with her black outfit and red guitar 🎸 and the Pricilla Presley hair style, the first two little girls in the video are Angelina’s cousins her managers children, the eldest girl sitting in the chair is Angelina’s beautiful sister Juliette, production input is Angelina’s grandma who is a talented artist, love the way Angelina incorporates her family in this beautiful performance !
I wouldn't doubt if that antique store was not on Melrose Avenue , Because she now lives in Los Angeles ! She is now 6 foot 1 barefoot ! I don't know if anybody's noticed her fingers ? But her fingers are so damn long which would allow her to play that guitar and the piano with ease ! WHY ISN'T SHE BLOWING UP ! GRRR
16-year old Norwegion singer, Angelina Jordan gets better and better. Covering Elvis "Suspicious Minds", she wears the identical leather outfit Elvis wore when he introduced the song, red guitar is the same one used during the special, the piano player is wearing the red jumper the band wore and the piano player is Angelina's mentor / record label CEO. The two young girls are her cousins and the 3rd older girl is her sister. Also, the hairdo is the same beehive Priscilla Presley wore.
Amazing talent. On the height thing I do not think the artist as provided that info. A number of people have quote 6 feet. She does appear to be pretty tall.
Rob Christie Playing Piano: That dude playing the piano is Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California, and he has been working with AJ since she signed with the largest record company in the world at the age of 14, two years ago. Rob was the MC of AJ Christmas Show that aired Dec 23, of 21. AJ’s Christmas Show that live-streamed on Dec 23 of 21 had some of the most important musicians of our time: Frank Sinatra's drummer for 6 years, and sun in-law of the late Henry Mancini, Greg Field has won 9 Grammys, and the bass player, Chuck Berghofer who also played for Sinatra for 6 years accompanied AJ on her Christmas Show, and they stated that she had the "storytelling ability of the greats, Streisand, Fitzgerald, Vaughan, including Sinatra, to name a few. The main pianist, a five-time nominated for Grammys, Shelly Berg, stated in all his years working with the greatest vocalist, he had never encountered a talent like AJ. Did I forget to mention Jimmy Z, the famous Sax Player who worked with Rod Steward, Etta James, the Eurythmics, and Doctor Dre, was part of the band for the show? Jimmy stated that AJ was the best he has ever played for. Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California played the guitar, and was the MC of the show. (I can't list the complete backgrounds on all the band members because it would take several pages to do them justice.) Angelina stated that she would rather perform than take a breath, and she has never been forced to perform, it has been her decision.
More Elvis Jamel . Great Movie.. Request Tomorrow is long time. Bob Dylan classic bob loved the elvis version 👌. Actually Elvis guitar from 1968 comeback special. Priscilla Presley's beehive.
She sang this song live in her concerts in norway and they are out on UA-cam too so you can just search if you want to hear it live . She never sings a song live the same everytime they are a little diffrent everytime she sings live.
She turned loose her woman voice on this track . She 16 years-old and she has that rich emotional vocals she brings to these songs .as always I enjoyed your reaction thank you
She walked in wearing silver boots. You can her the steps in the intro. But when she started singing she was barefoot. Keeping her commitment to the children of the world who don't have shoes.
Gotta be 6'7" with the Priscilla hair and heals. This is all about Grandma's vision. Her little sister looks like she's ready for her driver's license. I'm getting old.
She did “My Funny Valentine” in that same shop a few months ago and, I remember her singing sounded a lot like a tasteful, breathy saxophone solo to my ears.
She is a MASTERCLASS Artist. Awesome Reaction. BAGH!
This is a great talented young lady. 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶💞💞💞💞💞💞
Wow. I'm awestruck
This was a masterpiece of artistry, of vocal skills, piano, and symbolism. One of Angelina's best works to date in my opinion. I believe is a taste of things to come! Thank you for your support of Angelina.
Very well said Ron / Like your talking points / Complete Circle of Humble Thoughts... DD.
@@douglasdennett4583 Thank you Douglas
My first time seeing/hearing this, and wow, more than I expected
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.

she really has one of the best voices out there and she knows her music perfectly well how to present.
She has really become a precessional, this is beautiful.
"Don't leave my embrace for here in my arms is your place." - Elvis [ Ms. Angelina ✨🦶✨ Jordan ] Presley
So many nice little nods to Elvis in this video..from Priscilla's Beehive hairdo to Elvis's black leather suit & guitar from the '68 Comeback Special. And of course the tie-in with the new movie.
Lovely version. Elvis appreciated other people's talent. I'm sure he would love this.💙☮🌿
Angelina standing in one spot singing with a piano accompanying her is all it takes to leave us speechless and wanting for more.

What an absolute Masterpiece, just genius video, still touches my heart and I have seriously seen it at least 200 times. Love your reaction as well.
Elvis would be very proud of this and thats saying a lot

@Concerned Citizen Another idiot who has a problem with the past. Just like those who complained about the content in the movie "Gone With the Wind" and got it removed from the play list. You must be a Democrat Biden supporter who hates anyone who DOESN'T make excuses for the past rather than someone like you who HATES THE PAST. Funny thing is I like to study the past unlike you who hates the past and ends up just like those he hates!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely what I expected. She made this her own song and she did it beautifully. I noticed Juliet sitting there she is going to be as beautiful as Angelina one day.
Elvis' version is great and it always was, and it still is one of my favorites. but Angelina's version is equally great and is definitely her own.
When I first heard this song I loved it and put it at #3 on my playlist (Angelina Jordan Playlist by Terry M.), about midday I moved it up to #1. The main thing that changed my mind was the power in her voice. I'm not talking about loudness I'm talking about the power she has regardless of how loud or soft she sings. This is a quality that I haven't heard from anyone in my 82 years. This voice has become so unique that it is totally unmatched.
Her phrasing in the last bridge is great. And she got Elvis’s ‘Oh Yea’ at the end of the song.
The pianist is Rob Christie (3 Grammys), he is the head of the Republic Record department that is responsible for Angelina and other singers.
The two small kids are her uncle Mike's kids, and the older girl is Angelina's sister.
🙂
she started with the middle of the song. 🇺🇲😎💯👍🌟
Interestingly AJ is wearing the same black leather outfit and using the same exact guitar that ELVIS wore and used in his 1968 comeback special AJ IS THE NEST FEMALE SINGER IN THE WORLD!! 👣
This song was actually written and recorded by Mark James. Elvis, who never wrote any songs, did a great cover.
Well done, she nailed this performance and I love the slow down version especially with the piano
She is so talented singer 🌹🌹🌹🌹
As an Elvis fan...always nervous when new cover comes out. But this was beautiful! Have to believe as much as Elvis loved and appreciated music and talented artists...he would love it too. Very classy tribute!
Big hair like it was when the song came out in 1969. She is in the moment.
We are witnessing the greatest singing artist and composer that ever walked the earth. She was given a gift from a higher power and worker from age 2 to develop it into something beyond any human should be able to do. The barefoot angel is just starting to spread her wings. She brings me to tears every time and I so much appreciate her existence. She is the GOAT and she’s only 17.
She is the future of music, and I will be around for many more years to enjoy her art and passion in all that she will do
Love the blue suede shoes she had on as another nod to Elvis.
brad Hate to break it to you, but there were no blue suede shoes in this video.
@@103mrg my mistake you're right
I came not because I have not seen this but only because I wanted to see your reaction before you read the comments. Fantastic song respectfully and masterfully covered.
This version of Angelina is PERFECT.
Chill, humble, wholesome, master storyteller, confident, risk-taker -- Yep, Jamel, you NAILED it!
Wow. Just..... wow. What an amazing cover! I am blown away. Peace and Love, brother Jamel, and thank you.
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 doing a Concert in Norway this month! Album to drop soon! So much to look forward to.♥👣👸🏻🎷
Love this versjon
Wonderful reaction Jamel.....the little girl is growing up and that voice.....omg, that voice. Beautiful tribute to the King, by the reigning Queen. Those words on your sweatshirt and hat describes Angelina's purpose and exactly who she is. Enjoyed this very much. Cheers and stay well.
Hi Carl / Wow!!! Bullseye!!! Right On!!! Amazing Thinking Mr. Dez... Saw You In In Ms. TeeSpicier Reactions Live Stream with Ms.AJ was the Main Event!!! Thumbs Up!!! Saw Jamel's Sweat Shirt and Ball Cap Too!!! Same Thoughts / Same Feelings Too!!! Take Care - Sir!!! Have a great Weekend - July 2022 DD.
On January 10, 2023 she turns 17 happy birthday Angelina Jordan Astar
Thanks for your reaction. I know you love Angelina, you used to react to her a lot. I wish you would give her a boost with your successful channel, she is in a moment of takeoff and your support would be very good. Greetings.
Gracias por tu reacción. Se que amas a Angelina, antes reaccionabas mucho a ella. Ojalá le dieras un empujón con tu exitoso canal, ella está en un momento de despegue y sería muy bueno tu apoyo. Saludos.
Oui, beaucoup de symbolismes. La coiffure est celle que portait Priscilla Presley. La tenue en cuir noir et la guitare rouge sont un hommage à ce que portait Elvis lors de sa tournée de retour. Le piano démarre alors qu'Angelina enlève la housse poussiéreuse (dépoussiérer les vieilles chansons). Son petit cousin représente l'innocence avec laquelle nous sommes tous nés. Son autre cousin, qui court partout et lève les yeux, représente la curiosité et l'étonnement de découvrir de nouvelles choses. Sa sœur Juliette, à l'allure royale, assise sur une chaise ancienne, représente l'espoir et les rêves de ce qu'elle veut être et où elle veut être (la reine de la musique sur son trône). Et puis Angelina, âgée de 16 ans, ressemble à une rock star, comme si elle disait.. : Je suis arrivée et j'ai ma place ici avec les meilleurs.
Ce sont mes interprétations. Quoi qu'il en soit, à mes yeux, Angelina est et a été une Superstar depuis très longtemps.
Merci pour votre réaction et votre analyse authentiques et j'attends avec impatience votre prochaine vidéo de réaction d'Angelina.
Beautiful song, beautiful video. Gonna be down in your neck of the woods this weekend. Thanks!
Great reaction thanks 🙏, Angelina is so special a musical genius, This is a cover of a cover as the original artist didn’t achieve with this song , then Elvis covered the song and it was a huge no 1 hit, like the way Angelina pays tribute to Elvis with her black outfit and red guitar 🎸 and the Pricilla Presley hair style, the first two little girls in the video are Angelina’s cousins her managers children, the eldest girl sitting in the chair is Angelina’s beautiful sister Juliette, production input is Angelina’s grandma who is a talented artist, love the way Angelina incorporates her family in this beautiful performance !
Wow, that was gorgeous, amazing voice
This is so amazing and I love it…she is awesome 🎶🎶❤️
I wouldn't doubt if that antique store was not on Melrose Avenue , Because she now lives in Los Angeles ! She is now 6 foot 1 barefoot ! I don't know if anybody's noticed her fingers ? But her fingers are so damn long which would allow her to play that guitar and the piano with ease ! WHY ISN'T SHE BLOWING UP ! GRRR
16-year old Norwegion singer, Angelina Jordan gets better and better. Covering Elvis "Suspicious Minds", she wears the identical leather outfit Elvis wore when he introduced the song, red guitar is the same one used during the special, the piano player is wearing the red jumper the band wore and the piano player is Angelina's mentor / record label CEO. The two young girls are her cousins and the 3rd older girl is her sister. Also, the hairdo is the same beehive Priscilla Presley wore.
Amazing talent. On the height thing I do not think the artist as provided that info. A number of people have quote 6 feet. She does appear to be pretty tall.
Rob Christie Playing Piano:
That dude playing the piano is Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California, and he has been working with AJ since she signed with the largest record company in the world at the age of 14, two years ago. Rob was the MC of AJ Christmas Show that aired Dec 23, of 21. AJ’s Christmas Show that live-streamed on Dec 23 of 21 had some of the most important musicians of our time: Frank Sinatra's drummer for 6 years, and sun in-law of the late Henry Mancini, Greg Field has won 9 Grammys, and the bass player, Chuck Berghofer who also played for Sinatra for 6 years accompanied AJ on her Christmas Show, and they stated that she had the "storytelling ability of the greats, Streisand, Fitzgerald, Vaughan, including Sinatra, to name a few. The main pianist, a five-time nominated for Grammys, Shelly Berg, stated in all his years working with the greatest vocalist, he had never encountered a talent like AJ. Did I forget to mention Jimmy Z, the famous Sax Player who worked with Rod Steward, Etta James, the Eurythmics, and Doctor Dre, was part of the band for the show? Jimmy stated that AJ was the best he has ever played for. Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California played the guitar, and was the MC of the show. (I can't list the complete backgrounds on all the band members because it would take several pages to do them justice.) Angelina stated that she would rather perform than take a breath, and she has never been forced to perform, it has been her decision.
Great reaction! Good analysis. 👍🏼
phenomenal. the song is re-arranged and sung perfectly the way it is meant to be, based on the lyrics.
More Elvis Jamel . Great Movie.. Request Tomorrow is long time. Bob Dylan classic bob loved the elvis version 👌. Actually Elvis guitar from 1968 comeback special. Priscilla Presley's beehive.
His jacket as well
@@jdeang3531 YES
She sang this song live in her concerts in norway and they are out on UA-cam too so you can just search if you want to hear it live . She never sings a song live the same everytime they are a little diffrent everytime she sings live.
Oh wow great reaction and cover she is great love her version of the song
Thanks a lot for yet another great reaction to Angelina. You are one of my absolute favorite reactors. Love from Norway ♥♥♥
That was a classy reaction Jamal, kudos. The setting, the props, the arrangement, the vocals, everything about this was next level. Just brilliant!
She turned loose her woman voice on this track . She 16 years-old and she has that rich emotional vocals she brings to these songs .as always I enjoyed your reaction thank you
She walked in wearing silver boots. You can her the steps in the intro. But when she started singing she was barefoot. Keeping her commitment to the children of the world who don't have shoes.
Great reaction to the song ! Can you please do a reaction to Angelina Jordan I have nothing 2022 live performance! Please and thank you
I will say this is a good one 💯
❤️ angel.
Magical! Thanks Jamel! 💖
Gotta be 6'7" with the Priscilla hair and heals. This is all about Grandma's vision. Her little sister looks like she's ready for her driver's license. I'm getting old.
She did “My Funny Valentine” in that same shop a few months ago and, I remember her singing sounded a lot like a tasteful, breathy saxophone solo to my ears.
