Yours, IMHO, are by far the best reactions to dearest Angelina; and this one is just sheer delight. Perhaps my favorite observation of yours is the ultra slowed down analysis of her vibrato between Bb and Db minor. UN-REAL! You really do augment viewers' understanding of what makes Angelina's vocal performances and choices so extraordinarily extraordinarily exceptional. It really is cool that she exists!
Most people are not aware that this recording sat on the shelf for nearly a year. She was 8 when she recorded this. Then finally we got to see the greatness.
the musician angelina handed her arrangement changes said " she was so polite - came in -introduced herself - shook our hands - gave us her arrangement changes and said " these are my wishes " "
Wow! I was wondering what was on the piece of paper. I wonder they knew of her BEFORE the session and what they thought of her AFTER the session? Just like the musicians in the Amy Winehouse, 'Back to Black' session. Thank you for your insight.
This is when she first acquired the nickname "THE BOSS" in the studio. There are many videos where she directs the conductor or the band to play it the way she wants.
this is a fairytale ! she didnt wrigjt any music she wrote words (with effects, that is why the sound ingeneer was laughting reading it). She didn't know harmony (necessary to write arrangements) and she is a beginner in piano and guitar at around 12 ... But she is a genius and the gratest female singer b y now anyway ! but no, she never wrote any music : even on her new songs, she wrote the words but not the music ...
@@fredt7518 where you there Freddy? Mr Trowbridge seems to have been and there are many people whom can back him up; can you say the same or is this just your inability to believe that she is capable of doing arrangements at that age.
@@dagmarmrogers1 Well said, we all know that Angelina is quite capable of changing the lyrics and the harmony, that is her talent apart from her incredible voice.
I'll have to say that you are really a GENUINE vacal coach for you are so thorough and intellectual and knows what you are talking about. Not to mention that you are funny and entertaining and you are the most enjoyable . I'll have to say you are my 'Number One' vocal coach on UA-cam. There are a gazillion so called vocal coaches wanna be on UA-cam, but you can smell and sense them from a mile away if they are BS-ing you, and most of them do. I came across your channel via the Chris Walker from Hawaii , the 'BIG Angie Fan ' channel. He was invited to a podcast and he put a link to you channel. Honestly , if not for you reacting to Angelina Jordan songs, I wouldn't have bothered to check out your channel . Thank you for a job really very well done ! I'll visit your channel again in your next Angelina Jordan reaction.
I like that you pointed out that there is some bit of magic happening with her that goes well beyond the technique itself. Techniques can be taught and learned, but Angelina has something that I believe can't be learned. It is something that is happening organically from within her that just can't be replicated. It is this natural element that really draws me (and so many others) in when she sings. You forget that you are watching a "performance" and you just feel like you are sitting there with her as she expresses herself. She is the most engaging artist I personally have ever listened to.
@@wooshbait36 oh. That wasn't a question, that was a statement. I didn't say she was the most engaging singer Woosh Bait ever heard. I said she was the most engaging singer I have ever heard. That's not up for debate ;) If she is not the most engaging you ever heard, then that is fine. It's all opinions. I just hope that you have found someone that can draw you in like Angelina draws me in. She does seem to keep drawing you to her videos though. ...just sayin ;)
@@isteinskjellerud3097 yes. I fall for his bait every time. Surprisingly whoever this person is, while always disagreeable, is rarely ever rude about it. It's an interesting combo that I always feel compeled to engage ...it helps keep my "maintain friendliness in the face of opposition" game in check.
I've seen vocal coaches analyze this before and i was thought that either they didn't understand all the technical aspects or perhaps they just wanted to keep it abreviated, but you have gone into depths of technique that was so fascinating, interesting and entertaining at the same time!!!! That was awesome!!! Loved how you slowed the video down to analyze the nuances of her technique, jaw and larnyx placement. Thanks for taking so much time and effort to go so deep into this.
@@olegsolomonik6594 She is indeed the ONE who knows exactly what she is talking about and explains it perfectly and very scientifically. I jokingly call her mad because of the humorous way she presents stuff. But she is not insane at all but highly entertaining and totally in control of her wits.
Angelina Jordan was born in Jan 2006. She is currently 16 (barely 9 in this performance) - She began singing at the age of one and a half - At 2 or 3 she discovered Jazz through UA-cam videos and studied all greats from Jazz history. - When Angelina was 6, she was traveling and met a poor girl with no shoes trying to make money on the streets. The girl complimented her on her pretty shoes, so Angelina took them off and gave them to the girl. She made a vow to always sing barefoot until all the children of the world have shoes. To this day, whenever Angelina is performing in public she is barefoot. (that's a shortened version. the full story is more touching than the way I have told it here) - She has always been the driving force behind her own singing career. It was her that asked her mother to take her to Norways Got Talent, where she auditioned at 7 years old and went on to win the show at just 8 years old. - In an interview after the show, when asked what she was going to do with the money, the 8 year old replied "I would like to give it to orphans that need clothes and shoes" - The reason you may not have heard of her is because her parents are very protective of her childhood. They do not want her to be thrust into stardom before she has a chance to grow up as a normal child, and finish her education. They allow her to do a few select shows (mainly private and charity events) with a couple public shows every year when she is out of school. Her mother said in an interview that they have turned down 90% of the offers that come in. I have heard they have turned down offers from many record labels and even disney. - Angelina has covered more than 80 songs over the last 5 years, everything ranging from old classics to modern pop. She is able to change her voice to match any song she sings and make it her own. (she can cover Amy winehouse and Lana del Rey like nobody else) - Angelina has collaborated with some very big names over the last few years... Quincy Jones, Mark Ronson, David Foster, and many more. All of which heard her doing covers of their songs and were blown away. - Angelina has written three of her own original songs (at 12 years old): "What is Life", "Shield" and "Oslo". (all are amazing) In summary, Angelina Jordan is destined to be one of the greatest singers to have ever lived. This is just my opinion, but if you listen closely to any of her stuff you will hear the greatness. She sings with a natural style. There is no acting, no showing off, there are no unnecessary runs, or big belty notes just for the purpose of saying "hey look at me sing". She once said "when I sing I go into a magical world in my head", and you can hear the results of that. When Angelina sings it is pure soul, pure emotion, pure music.
If anyone has worked harder in putting out a reaction to Angelina, please point me in the right direction. Hopefully this young lady's analyses of her performances won't be as infrequent as they have been because this is the new standard for voice coaches and music professionals. Great knowledge, great communication and great editing.
A lot of "analysor" out there but there's nothing quite like listening to you sharing your knowledge and passion of the human voice. Your energy could power a small town at least so you should do more of these. A pleasure, as always. Thank you!
You've made me the happiest man on Earth, Lolli. Incredible insight and analysis. You're the only reactor I've seen so far that realized her high squeal was actually an inhaled note, a technique David Lee Roth of Van Halen uses. This is one of my top five musical performances of all time. Bless you!
I believe there are many who are happy today after watching this - I know I am and I'll most likely be watching this reaction every day for the next week or two... as I did with her reaction to Bohemian Rhapsody! 😁
@@larrycarlisle3163 Thanks for the reply, Larry. I've always thought that some of the exceedingly high screams that happen during the lead vocal in Van Halen songs were the result of Roth using an inhaled note; I've seen some comments on message boards that confirm this. I'm not averse to learning it was Michael(I think he really got a raw deal in the Van Halen reunion. I love his bass playing!) Can you point me to your source? Thanks in advance.
Check her out auditioning for Norway's Got Talent with Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday" when she was 7. (She won). She had many of Holiday's vocal mannerisms down. She used to sing along with her grandmother's record collection. There is a version with English subtitles.
@The Fairy Voice Mother Talk about teeny weeny bambini Angelini !! Actually there is some very short (no pun intended) footage of 1 1/2 yr old Angelina singing into a microphone while holding it!!
Dear god, I guess I could tell you why, but who needs to know why rainbows happen, watching your videos gives me so damn much joy. Technical ultra competence and hell just a person we all wish we knew in our lives, thanks for sharing the sheer amazingness of you with us!!!
Now that Angelina is 16, she has grown to 6'1" tall, so she has a long neck for maneuvering her larynx. You have to hear her latest release of the classic jazz standard, My Funny Valentine, recorded by everybody including all the legends. Her version is the most beautiful I've ever heard. Her control of her instrument seems to have jumped a level in the last year & it's just gorgeous, as is she. ua-cam.com/video/ETGLbsGDAI0/v-deo.html I really love your reactions to Angelina, I hope we don't have to wait so long for the next one. She said she will be releasing her long-awaited album this year & she has 3 concerts in Norway this July. When she finishes school this June, I think she will go ballistic & her Record Label will start promoting her globally.
To say I've seen a few vocal coaches try to analize Angelina nobody does it like you you definitely know what your talking about please do some more Angelina plus youve got a fantastic personality
That was the best analysis of this song I’ve ever heard. And I also love that you believe there is something that is an intangible thing that we can’t fully understand which seems to make her voice so special. I’m thinking it must be something fundamental for us all to be affected this way.
Pontus, I was just revisiting this, and, OMG is it good! A great one to have people new to Angelina listen to, and I can't see how anyone new to her who hears this reaction would not want to at least investigate further. She has performed a great service with this reaction.
@@BigAngieFan808 Most definitely Chris... And I think I just rewatched her reaction for about the 20th time, And I am already up to number 8 on suspicious minds.... I think I need to give Bohemian Rhapsody reaction a little more a little more courtesy in review though, Because all of fairy voice mother's reactions are spectacular.. Especially with Angelina, Heavy model, Hailey Reinhart, And Home Free
What a wonderful reaction/analysis! I'm a 67 year old guitar player who has backed up many brilliant singers and have been watching Angelina grow up since she was 7... She is one of the very best of all time... especially our current times... Your personal response to her brilliance is exactly the way I saw her 9 years ago...
I discovered your channel because I enjoy watching vocal coaches reacting to how amazing Angelina is but I have to say you are pure joy when explaining the movement of her vocal cords and things of that nature just hooked me and I subscribed immediately Your Love of the instrument that is your voice just drug me right in
Okay. Wow. One of the best reactions to AJ I've ever seen. You give a masterclass analysis here -- brilliant understanding of AJ's vocal control, which is really what this is all about (in addition to AJ just having fun killing this song). I loved your reaction to "Bohemian" -- this is even better. Thank you.
excellent comments. I learnt so much. Recently listened to most of the versions i can find on youtube, im ready to say Angelinas is the best 😊 and shes 9. What !!
Lolli, you crack me up. Smart, authentic, and bloody funny. And clearly an artist with a lovely voice of your own. Keep loving life and being who you are. Angelina isn’t the only angel on this video. 🫶
You are SO MUCH FUN!!! I love your knowledge and your total joy and wonder at what this amazing young girl already understands and can duplicate with her extra-ordinary instrument! I have loved seeing this many many times and still enjoying her complexity and delight. And you .. oh Fairy Voice Mother .. enjoying it all fully and with great knowledge. Joy. I recommend that you see My Funny Valentine, which is her latest full video .. and I think you would love seeing her do the song when she was a wee one ( deliciously innocent and so very smart) and then seeing what she does at 16. Her. Voice. Is. Exquisite. You will love, love, love it. Someone recommended for the recent one that you close your eyes the first time you hear it and then hear it again with your eyes open. I did that last time I watched them both and it was an inspired idea .. eyes closed really really allows me, you. us to truly hear her magnificent choices. Gorgeous. And it is the most recent of all of the videos ... except, of course, her tiktok and Instagram delights she sends us here and there. There is a video collection named SHE WAS BORN FOR THIS!! and it truly blows one''s mind. Listening to her go from one song to another with that amazing voice that she changes at will to be equally magnificent though very different. She tapes all these with her cell phone and it is all raw and gorgeous. There are many walking the streets of Santa MOnica and the beach holding her phone in front of her as she walks and sings .. oh .. so magnificently! There has been piano added to some or these just lately but it doesn't take away from the rawness and truth she sings with. The best thing about this video is that it is 30-some blessed minutes of Angelina. Extraordinary. Magnificent. Magical. Unique. I very much look forward to seeing you react to her again. Hope it's soon.
5 times watching this reaction now.. have to shoot for 20 from now till June for sure.. EDIT... watched this 8 times now. EDIT>>>> 12 times now... love ya EDIT:: 16 times now.... cannot get enough!!!
I know I’m late but wow, loved your breakdown. I’ve learned quite a bit already from you. Thanks! By the way the writing she was doing before starting was not the words. As I understand, those were notes to the musicians of how she wanted it played! Hope you see this comment! Keep doing what you do! Love you! Low bass Kenneth
In my opinion - By far the most detailed and enjoyable analysis of this song I have heard! Your enthusiastic emotional journey is infectious and captivating! A Great job Fairy Voice Mother!
The greatness of your outstanding analysis and commentary is on par with what you think of Angelina. I so wish I was young and could have you as my music teacher. Bless you for spreading such joy, excitement and encouragement! For a grown up Angelina, (she’s still not an adult lol), I think you’ll truly enjoy her recent “My funny Valentine”. She was born to put her spin on the jazz classics and share that type of music in a modern package with the World. I think you’ll truly enjoy that one as well. Can’t wait to see you squirm in delight with that one haha ha. ThNk You!!! Cheers
There are at least three, very different, versions of "My Funny Valentine" done by Angelina. Please learn to provide links with any request for a reaction.
@@ShanLiB Hi, and thank You. This is where I watched the latest version from a month ago. I think it was posted on her Instagram but this Boris guy, (I think family friend), uploaded it to UA-cam. I think you’ll find it outstanding if you don’t get too distracted with her hamming it in front of the camera. I close my eyes and drift away to heaven. . . Then You’ll crashland me with your exuberant wit and. analysis. Lol You’re fantastic!! Greetings from a ol’ Swede in Southern California. Cheers ua-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/v-deo.html
Angelina was 9 years old in this performance - Her nationality is Norwegian but is fluent in English even at this age - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the arrangement based after listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version - in fact, at the beginning of the video you see Angelina writing down some last-minute changes and it is read by the bandleader. You also notice that her own handwritten notes are on the music stand in front of her as she sings. For more insight on how Angelina works, here is a rehearsal video with the same band at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and gives them some instructions. There are English subtitles as the spoken language is Norwegian: ua-cam.com/video/SAkZDAXJA4E/v-deo.html
What you don’t know yet because you’ve seen so little of Angelina is that she inhabits many different genres as effortlessly and authentically as she did here. Her timing is immaculate, as you saw today, and her amazing arrangements are uniquely hers because - because who could cover that? I’ve been following Angelina-actually captivated and addicted-for about five years. I’ve actively listened to music all my 70+ years. No one comes close to Angelina. She is spectacularly good. Most Angelina fans never have a favorite song because the territory she covers is so wide and deep that you can’t compare her songs. There is a cloud of thirty or forty that comprise my favorites. Want to see what Angelina can do? Try her jaw dropping cover of Michael’s Billie Jean. Or her unbelievable cover of I’d Rather Go Blind to hear completely different voices and genres than you’ve heard before. Or try some of her originals, like Million Miles or Seventh Heaven. The girl with a thousand voices is truly once in a lifetime good.
Very well said. I'm 59 and I've never encountered a vocal talent like Angelina. She is indeed a musical genius, and this is from someone who thinks the label "genius" is far overused and I have never before described any singer as a musical genius.
Just watched this again and I enjoyed it just as much as the first time! I still hope you will do a double reaction of "My Funny Valentine" 1st at 10yrs old, then at 16. Absolutely LOVE your reactions!
speaking of shirley bassey - angelina's first song in studio basement of school at 6 was " i who have nothing " first thing she said to engineer at end of song was " how was it ? " " diamonds are forever " is on her " its magic cd " this was the best analysis of angelina's techniques i have seen...u r great . angelina mother said angelina didn't have voice coaches but studied music theory. she said angelina had such a unique voice that they did not want to mess with it...
Thank you so very much for this absolutely gorgeous reaction and analysis to a young Angelina. With two stunning stars on my screen (Angelina and you), I was nearly blinded by the magical essence that pours out from both of you. 💗 C'mon Angels, give TFVM lots of love too !
Oops! I watched and listened to this reaction on the day you posted it but did not comment, as I scuttled over to watch and listen to your reaction to Bohemian Rhapsody again. 🙂What can an old man say. Only echo what so many have commented below. You are the very best Reactor, for you bring to the table not only an incredible knowledge of how the voice works, but explain it in a way that even I can understand. As if this wasn't enough, you bring with it a wonderful personality and sense of humour. And thank you for drawing my attention to the smile on the face of the Bass player. The only downside is that you don't react often enough to Angelina. Is it because you are concerned that there will be too many "Belgian chocolates" if you do more? 🙂 As you understood, it is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, and she based her arrangement on his original performance, although she discarded all the theatrics and allowed her voice and body language to tell the story. Things I found particularly worthy of note in this video are (a) Angelina finishing writing last minute changes she wanted and handing them to the Music Director, who smiled. (b) A brief glimpse of Mery Zamani, Angelina's maternal grandmother, a well known and respected Iranian Artist and poet who was also a child prodigy. She was the person who recognised Angelina's talent at an early age and exposed her to all the old time jazz singers. (c) The candle with an image of Screamin' Jay Hawkins on it. (d) The occasions where Angelina gave silent instructions to the band (e) How she rose on to her toes on the last occasion she sang "...because you're mine" (f) The instant transformation for "permanence" mode to that of a pensive child, possibly wondering whether she could have done better. I remark on the "pensive" child because Angelina has an incredible work ethic and seeks to perform every song in a way she considers will bring out all the emotions within the lyrics and melody. You have seen in the comments that Angelina has been referred to as the "Queen of Jazz", "The Barefoot Princess", "The girl with a thousand voices". All of them are true, but I prefer the nickname I gave her after listening to about six of her performances. For me, she is "The chameleon of Song" for as a chameleon is able to change its colour to match its surroundings, so Angelina is able to change the colour of her voice to accurately match the needs of the song to reveal the emotions within the lyrics and melody. Even more remarkable is her innate ability to communicate those same emotions to her listeners.
Blimey Lolli , too late to chat so I'm posting here ! I love this Angelina video so much already and your lady person review is such genius .Love you FVM ***
I remember the first time you heard her sing (Bohemian Rhapsody) and now this! Both are two of my all time favorite Angelina Jordan reaction videos. Great reactions.
Greetings from Scotland! Yes "Exquisite!" At the beginning AJ decided on some changes to the music score so she noted this and gave it to the musical director who just smiles, nods and does what she says - at 9yo! Only AJ could do that! She never sang this in this very aggressive style again because of the damage it would possibly do to her voice! Just a one time full on tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins and his crazy style! Loved the analysis, but loved your pure joy reaction even more! Watching her video "My Funny Valentine" now that she's 16yo, so tall, so beautiful and with a very distinctive style is a world away from this! Truly one hell of a talented young lady!
That reaction was fun to watch, thank you. Always love to watch people who can really appreciate what she's doing rather than just saying its unblievable. Recent performances of Angelina would be: My funny valentine: ua-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/v-deo.html Easy on me: ua-cam.com/video/Mpw5Q76hWWE/v-deo.html
It would be better for her analysis the video of Easy on me as she can actually see her singing live. Maybe she will get around that before her album is released😉
Musical miracle! 🎼 Angel-ina, THE BEST REACTION AND ANALYSIS OF THIS REARRANGED VERSION OF AN OLDER CLASSIC. I FEEL BLESSED TO HAVE FOUND ANGEL-INA AND VERY BLESSED TO HAVE DISCOVERED YOUR CHANNEL! SO MUCH LOVE AND APPRECIATION TO YOU. 💓 enjoying following your journey. A great sense of humor helps me smile. ❤️
Thanks for a fantastic analysis. Since I first saw this yesrs ago when it was published on UA-cam I have considered this as some of the most magic 4 minute of the music history. So grateful that you were able to explain in detail what's so special about it, her technique and the musical intelligence she uses. That she has an unique musical intelligence is absolutely certain, I attended a concert some years ago where one of the musicians really messed up the song and the rythm. All other singers (of any age), would have just given up, but Angelina in a couple of milliseconds just improvised, made a couple of humming notes, and brought the song back in rythm and structure. That was insane to witness.
Not being tone-deaf is all that is required to enjoy good music. Having experts like you analyze and describe what little Angelina is instinctively doing takes is to a different level! The charming way you do it is quite special in itself, and I look forward to watching other reactions/analysis of diverse vocalists.
8 years i watch Angelina and as well most reactions,,,,,,this one,,,,this ONE,,,,,,,Wow,,,,,,exceptional in every way,,,,,,,please ,,,more Angelina,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,thanks
Unbelievable reaction! The best reaction to Angelina I have ever seen I think. I haven''t seen you since you lost it last time, but I'm planning on changing that, as I have now subscribed. The easiest sub that I can recall. One video a week ????????? Are you kidding me ??? You just CAN'T let Angelina slip by, you need to react to HER once a week. Do that and I'm an as happy camper as can be. Not even kidding :-) NOW! If you want to hear and watch the most recent Angelina video (It is an absolute MUST WATCH), you have to react to her new rendition of "My Funny Valentine", which she dropped on Valentine's Day a month ago. I think that is her most beautiful performance to date, and so do most of her fans. When I say her NEW rendition, it's based on the fact that she also released a rendition of the song when she was 10 years old. The two renditions are almost down to the date 6 years apart. Both are stunningly beautiful. While I'm at it, I'll give you links for both renditons. Just note that Angelina is currently 16 years old, as of January 10th. She stands 6'1 (1m 85 cm) tall and could probably easily become a model if she so wanted. She is becoming an incredibly beautiful, young woman for sure.

You can thank me later :-)))) Much love from Norway :-)
I've watched this video more times than I've watched some of my favorite movies. You're breakdown is phenomenal. I've learned so much from just this analyses. And it makes me even more amazed by the amazing Angelina Jordan. She is by far the greatest child vocalist I've heard in my 30 + years.
HELLO GORGEOUS!! 💜 I do so hope you enjoyed my analysis of our little angel. UPDATE: I have finally come to place where I can afford to produce one video a week 🤩The support you have show me makes this possible. It helps me afford to dedicate 2 days a week to filming and editing. So thank you so so SO much to everyone that helps me in Patreon and buy me a coffee- you make this all possible and therefore, my dreams come true. 🥳 Keep your suggestions coming, I promise they are all counted. Have the best day 🧚🏼♀ Love you forever, Lolli xo
Her start came when she was 7 years old as the winner of Norway's got talent. So, two years before this. Might be worth hearing one of the performances from that show.
@@michaelbradley7529 : ...and even before the Norske Talenter she was already in a booth being 6 (!) yo and it is highly recommended to listen to this recording: (One of?) Her first "visit" to a recording studio at 6yo: "I who have nothing": ua-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/v-deo.html 😎
Even more amazing is that by then she was still self-taught to it! If reincarnation is a thing, she's obviously the closest example of reincarnation i've seen... By the way, you said at the beginning that this probably was the beginning of her journey but everything she did on norway's got talent 2 years before that (so she was 7...) was outstanding! Gloomy Sunday - Billie Holiday Bang bang - Nancy Sinatra Summertime - Ella fitzgerald 3 completely outstanding rendition that a 7 y.o shouldn't be able to do
Very clearly we all missed you. Never forgot how overwhelmed you got with your first one. Thought at one point you were going to lose it again. Now, might l recommend her recent cover of My Funny Valentine. It will really do two things. First, it will challenge you technically to describe all she does. Second it will show you where she is and the promise of where she might go.
Thank you for your enthusiastic reaction to Angelina. Your response was not surprising! Norwegian born Angelina began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of only 8, singing old time classics from Billie Holliday and George Gershwin, and became the youngest ever winner of an international Got Talent Show! She also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique version of Bohemian Rhapsody. She is a true prodigy. She is now 16, and has recorded over 160 songs, including mostly covers and several originals. A major attraction to Angelina's music is the emotion and attitude she conveys, although she has not experienced the life events! She is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices as she can adjust her tone, style, and register for any song or genre. She was signed by Republic Records over a year ago. Here is link from ages 6 to 15 to her chronological performances, including five originals. m.ua-cam.com/play/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO.html Why does Angelina sing barefoot? When she was 6 years old, she was in the Middle East with her mom and grandmother and they came across a young orphan girl with no shoes and scarred feet. Angelina gave the girl her own shoes and has forever performed barefoot as a reminder of all those less fortunate. At age 9 she wrote a book about this experience, Between two Hearts, becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. She also has helped raise millions for children's charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond. Angelina penetrates hearts because she is humble and has compassion for humanity. Her stated goal from childhood was to sing for the world and spread love and peace. I trust this will cause you to embrace her as millions of others have, and that you will continue down the rabbit hole from which you would not want to escape. Peace.
What a great reaction. Now that she's totally enticed your senses, would you please react to Angelina's first time in a studio at the age of 6. She covers I Who Have Nothing. I believe this may have also been when she first started arranging her own music. Even at such a young age, she literally blows my mind. This 70 yr old grandmother is addicted to listening to this amazing young lady. I've been watching her for 10+yrs and could never tire of her unique voice. I usually don't like so many interruptions during reactions. But you are a true Angel and obviously very knowledgeable in this field. And even though I'm not, you made it easier for me to understand. I appreciate that. I feel like you've taught me a few things. Thankyou. Plus I must add, you're just so darn cute yourself. I was thinking to myself "I love this girl." Anyone that loves Angelina this much and gets as excited as you do, is a real gem and a class act. God bless you
You bring that "MAGIC" to your reactions, love how you deep dive onto the mechanics of Angelina's singing techniques and ability. How you get and admit there is "something indefinable" in Angelina's performances which take it to the next level in the experience. That "what is it?" we all feel, but can't articulate. Thanks again for the enjoyable reaction. The following are links to some recommendations.....

OMG, this was reaction/analysis was beyond entertaining… it was educational and astute beyond one’s imagination. And “colorful?… wow, this was inspired: “…teenie weenie bambini Angilini”. ❤️❤️❤️ 👣
This is the best and most informative reaction to this song that I have seen! She has so many more for you to see yet, but if you really want to see where she first started, you need to see her do Gloomy Sunday on Norway's got talent when she was just 7 years old. Gloomy Sunday was her first audition, followed by an acapella version of I'm a fool to want you and an amazing version of bang bang before winning the show with Summertime. She turned 8 during this show and you can really see so much development since then, but it is truly remarkable that a 7 year old has the ability to sing any of these songs at all, but to sing them with so much emotion and incredible style at such an age is just pure magic. I have never believed in past lives, but she has me thinking that I was wrong about that because she is an old soul who MUST have been here before!
I love your reaction to our fantastic Queen of Jazz ,remember there is a 6year old , ngt 7 to 8 years , I do wish you will do a lot more of Miss A.J , as I love the things that you are pointing out , also I don't know I you have seen there are over 150+ of this fantastic artist , lastly I call the her the 5th element that was missing in this world of ours , I listen to her every day more than once and it makes everything better
A common reaction to AJ performances from ages 6-12 is: 'I don't think she understands how good she really is ...' What is going on behind those fiercely intelligent eyes when she is singing remains an eternal mystery to me, but you've managed to raise the curtain just a little with this fabulous review of what I and many other fans believe is her stand-out pre-teen performance ... the one that will be revisited in years to come for documentary biog films and that will occupy a whole chapter in books about her rise to fame. Your reaction also is outstanding ... a worthy companion to what is a seminal work in Angelina's canon - thank you! R (Australia)
I would suggest her My Funny Valentine she just released on Valentines Day this year. It is her newest release and she really displays lots of textures. It’s one of her most beautiful songs and really shows off the jazz singer she is. A few reactors have paired it with her version of the same song at 10 years old.
I am so impressed with the interplay of your intelligence and your emotions, it was so sweet how you were overwhelmed on, "Bohemian", and on this reaction, broke it down so succinctly and entertainingly, I thought it simply brilliant! And you look amazing, as well.
What a super reaction. I love all the anatomical nuances you go into. And you are right, she's a genius in her musical understanding. Please don't wait so long for the next one of Angelina. I would just like to add that Angelina never sang in this sort of loud growling style again, and people say it's because it would damage her vocal cords.
You should definitely react also to a couple of songs from her time when she won Norway Got Talent. There was a huge growth between her first auditions (Gloomy Sunday - Billie Halliday, and I'm a fool to want you (acapella) when she was 7, vs her final song at age 8 (Summertime) when her English was incredibly improved and her front tooth was almost completely grown! In terms of her latest, it's a tough choice. "Million Miles" is her own song dedicated to her grandpa who had recently passed (amazing songwriter too!). Her absolute latest is "My funny valentine". I don't know how one would pick from them!
I do enjoy your reactions/analytics, and the way you express yourself. Makes my belly hurt with chuckles. And of course, we all love this musical genius, regardless what age she happens to be.
Hiya Lolli !! ✨ Thank you so much for reacting to Angelina again. Your first reaction to her remains one of my all time favorite reactions to this amazingly gifted artist. And this reaction - wow - the things you see/hear/recognize, from the magical emotional impact, to the extremely technical nuances... Thank you for your incredible insight into all of it! 🥰 You are just so intelligent and genuine. Loved this, as much as hearing Angelina sing it (for the 100th+ time). She's 16 today, and has only somehow gotten better over the past seven years. She has 150+ covers and originals now. Most recently, she covered "My Funny Valentine", it demonstrates her passion and gifts for performing old-style jazz. And as many have suggested already, there exist 4 performances related to her Norway's Got Talent experience (7-8 yrs old). Each amazing and powerful. Gosh, there are so many more to pick from. Just please pick something! All of her fans (her Angels) will love to see you react more to Angelina. Thank you again! And Happy St Patrick's Day! 💚🍀
This is one of the best, if not the best, Angelina reaction I have seen. It is simply incomprehensible how good she is. IMHO The is The Greatest Performance Ever by The Greatest of all Time. 9 years old and does her own arrangements. Amazing
One of the things I've noticed about Angelina singing this song and reactors is the more people know about singing the more impressed they are with it.
Wonderful reaction to our Angel, thank you very much! It´s great to hear technical explanations of her genius that we all intuitively feel. Until next time! ♥
You are THE best reviewer of Angelina. I am in my 70's and I consider this a jazz masterpiece irrespective of her age. Oh, your various smiles, laughs, etc are freakin' adorable. Well done.
Great reaction you need to see her now. Angelina's latest my My Funny Valentine I would love to see your reaction. And her tictoc's omg!. Looking forward to future reactions.
Thank you for explaining how Angelina is able to sing like she does. I am moved every time I hear her sing. She packs so much emotion in it that I cannot help but react. I know her ability is a gift from God but your analysis helps me to understand the techniques she uses.
Love Angelina and all she does. I have to say here, I am in love with how you break down the vocal performance and explaine the techniques of the voice. I find it so interesting in how the articulation of the mouth and mechanical use of the voice box to produce amazing sounds. Just love you! So as always stay safe my dear and much love you you and yours.
Absolutely brilliant comment/analysis, I already thought your previous one stood out as the best to that song. I am also intrigued by your facial expressions during the song, it feels as you are deeply feeling the music. I am sure all of us here would agree that Angelina is exceptional, a genius, none of us have witnessed anything like it in 50 years. Recently I was intrigued by "I am still holding out for you", when she was 10, but there are so many other songs. My "Funny Valentine" when she just turned 16 is also a good example how she developed (although I don't really like the song itself...). Please come back to Angelina, she is worth your time !!

Please make more reactions to Angelina. You are one of the most enjoyable reactors to her.
Would interest your analysis to You Say.
Yours, IMHO, are by far the best reactions to dearest Angelina; and this one is just sheer delight. Perhaps my favorite observation of yours is the ultra slowed down analysis of her vibrato between Bb and Db minor. UN-REAL! You really do augment viewers' understanding of what makes Angelina's vocal performances and choices so extraordinarily extraordinarily exceptional. It really is cool that she exists!
Most people are not aware that this recording sat on the shelf for nearly a year. She was 8 when she recorded this. Then finally we got to see the greatness.
the musician angelina handed her arrangement changes said " she was so polite - came in -introduced herself - shook our hands - gave us her arrangement changes and said " these are my wishes " "
Wow! I was wondering what was on the piece of paper. I wonder they knew of her BEFORE the session and what they thought of her AFTER the session? Just like the musicians in the Amy Winehouse, 'Back to Black' session. Thank you for your insight.
This is when she first acquired the nickname "THE BOSS" in the studio. There are many videos where she directs the conductor or the band to play it the way she wants.
this is a fairytale ! she didnt wrigjt any music she wrote words (with effects, that is why the sound ingeneer was laughting reading it). She didn't know harmony (necessary to write arrangements) and she is a beginner in piano and guitar at around 12 ...
But she is a genius and the gratest female singer b y now anyway ! but no, she never wrote any music : even on her new songs, she wrote the words but not the music ...
@@fredt7518 where you there Freddy? Mr Trowbridge seems to have been and there are many people whom can back him up; can you say the same or is this just your inability to believe that she is capable of doing arrangements at that age.
@@dagmarmrogers1 Well said, we all know that Angelina is quite capable of changing the lyrics and the harmony, that is her talent apart from her incredible voice.
I'll have to say that you are really a GENUINE vacal coach for you are so thorough and intellectual and knows what you are talking about. Not to mention that you are funny and entertaining and you are the most enjoyable . I'll have to say you are my 'Number One' vocal coach on UA-cam.
There are a gazillion so called vocal coaches wanna be on UA-cam, but you can smell and sense them from a mile away if they are BS-ing you, and most of them do.
I came across your channel via the Chris Walker from Hawaii , the 'BIG Angie Fan ' channel. He was invited to a podcast and he put a link to you channel. Honestly , if not for you reacting to Angelina Jordan songs, I wouldn't have bothered to check out your channel . Thank you for a job really very well done ! I'll visit your channel again in your next Angelina Jordan reaction.
I like that you pointed out that there is some bit of magic happening with her that goes well beyond the technique itself. Techniques can be taught and learned, but Angelina has something that I believe can't be learned. It is something that is happening organically from within her that just can't be replicated. It is this natural element that really draws me (and so many others) in when she sings. You forget that you are watching a "performance" and you just feel like you are sitting there with her as she expresses herself. She is the most engaging artist I personally have ever listened to.
Absolutely the truth!!
@@wooshbait36 wait... what was the question?
@@wooshbait36 oh. That wasn't a question, that was a statement. I didn't say she was the most engaging singer Woosh Bait ever heard. I said she was the most engaging singer I have ever heard. That's not up for debate ;)
If she is not the most engaging you ever heard, then that is fine. It's all opinions. I just hope that you have found someone that can draw you in like Angelina draws me in. She does seem to keep drawing you to her videos though. ...just sayin ;)
@@RustyShacklefordChannel I would not bother to answer a person who calls himself "Woosh Bait"🙂.
@@isteinskjellerud3097 yes. I fall for his bait every time. Surprisingly whoever this person is, while always disagreeable, is rarely ever rude about it. It's an interesting combo that I always feel compeled to engage ...it helps keep my "maintain friendliness in the face of opposition" game in check.
I've seen vocal coaches analyze this before and i was thought that either they didn't understand all the technical aspects or perhaps they just wanted to keep it abreviated, but you have gone into depths of technique that was so fascinating, interesting and entertaining at the same time!!!! That was awesome!!! Loved how you slowed the video down to analyze the nuances of her technique, jaw and larnyx placement. Thanks for taking so much time and effort to go so deep into this.
Here here. 💓💓
👍👍👍
The other 'vocal coaches' are ruined after you experience TheFairyVoiceMother. 99% of them don't seem too have a clue.
Best analysis and explanation I have seen
@@olegsolomonik6594 She is indeed the ONE who knows exactly what she is talking about and explains it perfectly and very scientifically. I jokingly call her mad because of the humorous way she presents stuff. But she is not insane at all but highly entertaining and totally in control of her wits.
Best comment video ever. Thank you very much.
Angelina Jordan was born in Jan 2006. She is currently 16 (barely 9 in this performance)
- She began singing at the age of one and a half
- At 2 or 3 she discovered Jazz through UA-cam videos and studied all greats from Jazz history.
- When Angelina was 6, she was traveling and met a poor girl with no shoes trying to make money on the streets. The girl complimented her on her pretty shoes, so Angelina took them off and gave them to the girl. She made a vow to always sing barefoot until all the children of the world have shoes. To this day, whenever Angelina is performing in public she is barefoot. (that's a shortened version. the full story is more touching than the way I have told it here)
- She has always been the driving force behind her own singing career. It was her that asked her mother to take her to Norways Got Talent, where she auditioned at 7 years old and went on to win the show at just 8 years old.
- In an interview after the show, when asked what she was going to do with the money, the 8 year old replied "I would like to give it to orphans that need clothes and shoes"
- The reason you may not have heard of her is because her parents are very protective of her childhood. They do not want her to be thrust into stardom before she has a chance to grow up as a normal child, and finish her education. They allow her to do a few select shows (mainly private and charity events) with a couple public shows every year when she is out of school. Her mother said in an interview that they have turned down 90% of the offers that come in. I have heard they have turned down offers from many record labels and even disney.
- Angelina has covered more than 80 songs over the last 5 years, everything ranging from old classics to modern pop. She is able to change her voice to match any song she sings and make it her own. (she can cover Amy winehouse and Lana del Rey like nobody else)
- Angelina has collaborated with some very big names over the last few years... Quincy Jones, Mark Ronson, David Foster, and many more. All of which heard her doing covers of their songs and were blown away.
- Angelina has written three of her own original songs (at 12 years old): "What is Life", "Shield" and "Oslo". (all are amazing)
In summary, Angelina Jordan is destined to be one of the greatest singers to have ever lived. This is just my opinion, but if you listen closely to any of her stuff you will hear the greatness. She sings with a natural style. There is no acting, no showing off, there are no unnecessary runs, or big belty notes just for the purpose of saying "hey look at me sing". She once said "when I sing I go into a magical world in my head", and you can hear the results of that. When Angelina sings it is pure soul, pure emotion, pure music.
If anyone has worked harder in putting out a reaction to Angelina, please point me in the right direction. Hopefully this young lady's analyses of her performances won't be as infrequent as they have been because this is the new standard for voice coaches and music professionals. Great knowledge, great communication and great editing.
Wish I had said that about Fairy Voice Mother, well done.
...especially the great editing.
@@rickardelimaa no no no>
To be honest with you I'm rock and roll. I do love the jazz. When Amy left yeah I still miss her.
This is the truth.
I love how emotional you get listening to Angelina.
So true. Such a nice reaction. Just awesome review
A lot of "analysor" out there but there's nothing quite like listening to you sharing your knowledge and passion of the human voice. Your energy could power a small town at least so you should do more of these. A pleasure, as always. Thank you!
Not sure what to say, but I need to say wow.
I love her voice. She is getting better and better as well.
You've made me the happiest man on Earth, Lolli. Incredible insight and analysis. You're the only reactor I've seen so far that realized her high squeal was actually an inhaled note, a technique David Lee Roth of Van Halen uses. This is one of my top five musical performances of all time. Bless you!
I believe there are many who are happy today after watching this - I know I am and I'll most likely be watching this reaction every day for the next week or two... as I did with her reaction to Bohemian Rhapsody! 😁
Very nice comment but I think it was Michael Anthony that gave us that signature Van Halen sound you're referring to.
@@larrycarlisle3163 Thanks for the reply, Larry. I've always thought that some of the exceedingly high screams that happen during the lead vocal in Van Halen songs were the result of Roth using an inhaled note; I've seen some comments on message boards that confirm this. I'm not averse to learning it was Michael(I think he really got a raw deal in the Van Halen reunion. I love his bass playing!) Can you point me to your source? Thanks in advance.
The others musician called her 'The Boss' because she knows what she doing.
Check her out auditioning for Norway's Got Talent with Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday" when she was 7. (She won). She had many of Holiday's vocal mannerisms down. She used to sing along with her grandmother's record collection. There is a version with English subtitles.
@The Fairy Voice Mother Talk about teeny weeny bambini Angelini !! Actually there is some very short (no pun intended) footage of 1 1/2 yr old Angelina singing into a microphone while holding it!!
@@michaelpape3793 Yes! I watched that vid... and the crazy thing about it is she is on key....at 18 months old????? Impossible but true!!!
I strongly second that!
I absolutely 💖 love your reactions: your vocal knowledge and your emotions especially. Please keep reacting to Angelina Jordan!
Dear god, I guess I could tell you why, but who needs to know why rainbows happen, watching your videos gives me so damn much joy. Technical ultra competence and hell just a person we all wish we knew in our lives, thanks for sharing the sheer amazingness of you with us!!!
Thank you so much, what a beautiful thing to say 🥹💜
Agreed. 💕TFVM!
I'm blown away 9yo she owned the song you're my reactor of Angie in detail love it thanks
I’ve watched this reaction a half dozen times because it’s fun watching you giggle after Angelina breaks your mind.
I dont usually watch reactors more than once or twice, but I always come back to yours because I LOVE YOU!
DITTO,..love your reactions and you personally!❤😊
Never mind my protestations of love,.....I'm way too old for such - 76,....to be exact😢
Now that Angelina is 16, she has grown to 6'1" tall, so she has a long neck for maneuvering her larynx. You have to hear her latest release of the classic jazz standard, My Funny Valentine, recorded by everybody including all the legends. Her version is the most beautiful I've ever heard. Her control of her instrument seems to have jumped a level in the last year & it's just gorgeous, as is she. ua-cam.com/video/ETGLbsGDAI0/v-deo.html I really love your reactions to Angelina, I hope we don't have to wait so long for the next one. She said she will be releasing her long-awaited album this year & she has 3 concerts in Norway this July. When she finishes school this June, I think she will go ballistic & her Record Label will start promoting her globally.
Regarding your last sentence, we all hope so, don't we?
Although she has 160+ YT recordings, do yourself a favor to get her vocal scope - listen to her most recent My Funny Valentine, as mentioned above.
She's 6'1"???
+1 for my funny valentine, masterclass!
Ummm... at age 15, stated closer to 6 ft 3.... sle grew into her big cranium holding her superior-active brain !!!!
To say I've seen a few vocal coaches try to analize Angelina nobody does it like you you definitely know what your talking about please do some more Angelina plus youve got a fantastic personality
That was the best analysis of this song I’ve ever heard. And I also love that you believe there is something that is an intangible thing that we can’t fully understand which seems to make her voice so special. I’m thinking it must be something fundamental for us all to be affected this way.
I absolutely agree with you
Hi Pontus, very well said, I completely agree. By the way, hope to see you in Sandefjord in July.
@@eddiebowes6137 Sandefjord will be huge!
Pontus, I was just revisiting this, and, OMG is it good! A great one to have people new to Angelina listen to, and I can't see how anyone new to her who hears this reaction would not want to at least investigate further. She has performed a great service with this reaction.
@@BigAngieFan808 Most definitely Chris... And I think I just rewatched her reaction for about the 20th time, And I am already up to number 8 on suspicious minds.... I think I need to give Bohemian Rhapsody reaction a little more a little more courtesy in review though, Because all of fairy voice mother's reactions are spectacular.. Especially with Angelina, Heavy model, Hailey Reinhart, And Home Free
You nailed it. Wait till you hear her today, it's what you would expect from a prodigy but even better!
What a wonderful reaction/analysis! I'm a 67 year old guitar player who has backed up many brilliant singers and have been watching Angelina grow up since she was 7... She is one of the very best of all time... especially our current times... Your personal response to her brilliance is exactly the way I saw her 9 years ago...
You have shown A), just how Angelina works, and B),just how awesome and attentive YOU are as a coach. Great work! !
I discovered your channel because I enjoy watching vocal coaches reacting to how amazing Angelina is but I have to say you are pure joy when explaining the movement of her vocal cords and things of that nature just hooked me and I subscribed immediately Your Love of the instrument that is your voice just drug me right in
Okay. Wow. One of the best reactions to AJ I've ever seen. You give a masterclass analysis here -- brilliant understanding of AJ's vocal control, which is really what this is all about (in addition to AJ just having fun killing this song). I loved your reaction to "Bohemian" -- this is even better. Thank you.
She rewrote musical history with that one. Your reaction was delightful & brilliant!
excellent comments. I learnt so much. Recently listened to most of the versions i can find on youtube, im ready to say Angelinas is the best 😊 and shes 9. What !!
Absolutely brilliant analysis. The best.
Lolli, you crack me up. Smart, authentic, and bloody funny. And clearly an artist with a lovely voice of your own. Keep loving life and being who you are. Angelina isn’t the only angel on this video. 🫶
A very joyful reaction video with many insightful comments.
You are SO MUCH FUN!!! I love your knowledge and your total joy and wonder at what this amazing young girl already understands and can duplicate with her extra-ordinary instrument! I have loved seeing this many many times and still enjoying her complexity and delight. And you .. oh Fairy Voice Mother .. enjoying it all fully and with great knowledge. Joy. I recommend that you see My Funny Valentine, which is her latest full video .. and I think you would love seeing her do the song when she was a wee one ( deliciously innocent and so very smart) and then seeing what she does at 16. Her. Voice. Is. Exquisite. You will love, love, love it. Someone recommended for the recent one that you close your eyes the first time you hear it and then hear it again with your eyes open. I did that last time I watched them both and it was an inspired idea .. eyes closed really really allows me, you. us to truly hear her magnificent choices. Gorgeous. And it is the most recent of all of the videos ... except, of course, her tiktok and Instagram delights she sends us here and there. There is a video collection named SHE WAS BORN FOR THIS!! and it truly blows one''s mind. Listening to her go from one song to another with that amazing voice that she changes at will to be equally magnificent though very different. She tapes all these with her cell phone and it is all raw and gorgeous. There are many walking the streets of Santa MOnica and the beach holding her phone in front of her as she walks and sings .. oh .. so magnificently! There has been piano added to some or these just lately but it doesn't take away from the rawness and truth she sings with. The best thing about this video is that it is 30-some blessed minutes of Angelina. Extraordinary. Magnificent. Magical. Unique.
I very much look forward to seeing you react to her again. Hope it's soon.
5 times watching this reaction now.. have to shoot for 20 from now till June for sure..
EDIT... watched this 8 times now.
EDIT>>>> 12 times now... love ya
EDIT:: 16 times now.... cannot get enough!!!
I know I’m late but wow, loved your breakdown. I’ve learned quite a bit already from you. Thanks! By the way the writing she was doing before starting was not the words. As I understand, those were notes to the musicians of how she wanted it played! Hope you see this comment! Keep doing what you do! Love you! Low bass Kenneth
Very Happy to see you back reacting to Angelina!!!
In my opinion - By far the most detailed and enjoyable analysis of this song I have heard! Your enthusiastic emotional journey is infectious and captivating! A Great job Fairy Voice Mother!
The greatness of your outstanding analysis and commentary is on par with what you think of Angelina. I so wish I was young and could have you as my music teacher. Bless you for spreading such joy, excitement and encouragement! For a grown up Angelina, (she’s still not an adult lol), I think you’ll truly enjoy her recent “My funny Valentine”. She was born to put her spin on the jazz classics and share that type of music in a modern package with the World. I think you’ll truly enjoy that one as well. Can’t wait to see you squirm in delight with that one haha ha. ThNk You!!! Cheers
There are at least three, very different, versions of "My Funny Valentine" done by Angelina. Please learn to provide links with any request for a reaction.
@@ShanLiB Hi, and thank You. This is where I watched the latest version from a month ago. I think it was posted on her Instagram but this Boris guy, (I think family friend), uploaded it to UA-cam. I think you’ll find it outstanding if you don’t get too distracted with her hamming it in front of the camera. I close my eyes and drift away to heaven. . . Then You’ll crashland me with your exuberant wit and. analysis. Lol You’re fantastic!! Greetings from a ol’ Swede in Southern California. Cheers ua-cam.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/v-deo.html
Angelina was 9 years old in this performance - Her nationality is Norwegian but is fluent in English even at this age - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the arrangement based after listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version - in fact, at the beginning of the video you see Angelina writing down some last-minute changes and it is read by the bandleader. You also notice that her own handwritten notes are on the music stand in front of her as she sings. For more insight on how Angelina works, here is a rehearsal video with the same band at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and gives them some instructions. There are English subtitles as the spoken language is Norwegian: ua-cam.com/video/SAkZDAXJA4E/v-deo.html
... workshopping another Hawkins song. The band is not exactly the same but certainly the pianist is recognisable! R (Australia)
What you don’t know yet because you’ve seen so little of Angelina is that she inhabits many different genres as effortlessly and authentically as she did here. Her timing is immaculate, as you saw today, and her amazing arrangements are uniquely hers because - because who could cover that?
I’ve been following Angelina-actually captivated and addicted-for about five years. I’ve actively listened to music all my 70+ years. No one comes close to Angelina. She is spectacularly good. Most Angelina fans never have a favorite song because the territory she covers is so wide and deep that you can’t compare her songs. There is a cloud of thirty or forty that comprise my favorites. Want to see what Angelina can do? Try her jaw dropping cover of Michael’s Billie Jean. Or her unbelievable cover of I’d Rather Go Blind to hear completely different voices and genres than you’ve heard before. Or try some of her originals, like Million Miles or Seventh Heaven. The girl with a thousand voices is truly once in a lifetime good.
Very well said. I'm 59 and I've never encountered a vocal talent like Angelina. She is indeed a musical genius, and this is from someone who thinks the label "genius" is far overused and I have never before described any singer as a musical genius.
Wait till she gets a load of pop country like nothing breaks like a heart... Or older Elvis style country
I regret having only one thumb to put up. Thank you for reacting to Angelina. :)
Just watched this again and I enjoyed it just as much as the first time! I still hope you will do a double reaction of "My Funny Valentine" 1st at 10yrs old, then at 16. Absolutely LOVE your reactions!
This reaction and analysis was SO good--you have GOT to do more Angelina reactions!
Hey 9Ballr - long time no commenty. sorry. But absolutely, I really hope TFVM does much more Angelina.. 🙏
😄👍Completely agree!
speaking of shirley bassey - angelina's first song in studio basement of school at 6 was " i who have nothing " first thing she said to engineer at end of song was " how was it ? " " diamonds are forever " is on her " its magic cd " this was the best analysis of angelina's techniques i have seen...u r great . angelina mother said angelina didn't have voice coaches but studied music theory. she said angelina had such a unique voice that they did not want to mess with it...
Thank you so very much for this absolutely gorgeous reaction and analysis to a young Angelina. With two stunning stars on my screen (Angelina and you), I was nearly blinded by the magical essence that pours out from both of you. 💗
C'mon Angels, give TFVM lots of love too !
Thank you so so so so much Ron 💜 lots of love always x
I am so happy you liked this 🥰
Oops! I watched and listened to this reaction on the day you posted it but did not comment, as I scuttled over to watch and listen to your reaction to Bohemian Rhapsody again. 🙂What can an old man say. Only echo what so many have commented below. You are the very best Reactor, for you bring to the table not only an incredible knowledge of how the voice works, but explain it in a way that even I can understand. As if this wasn't enough, you bring with it a wonderful personality and sense of humour. And thank you for drawing my attention to the smile on the face of the Bass player. The only downside is that you don't react often enough to Angelina. Is it because you are concerned that there will be too many "Belgian chocolates" if you do more? 🙂
As you understood, it is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, and she based her arrangement on his original performance, although she discarded all the theatrics and allowed her voice and body language to tell the story.
Things I found particularly worthy of note in this video are
(a) Angelina finishing writing last minute changes she wanted and handing them to the Music Director, who smiled.
(b) A brief glimpse of Mery Zamani, Angelina's maternal grandmother, a well known and respected Iranian Artist and poet who was also a child prodigy. She was the person who recognised Angelina's talent at an early age and exposed her to all the old time jazz singers.
(c) The candle with an image of Screamin' Jay Hawkins on it.
(d) The occasions where Angelina gave silent instructions to the band
(e) How she rose on to her toes on the last occasion she sang "...because you're mine"
(f) The instant transformation for "permanence" mode to that of a pensive child, possibly wondering whether she could have done better. I remark on the "pensive" child because Angelina has an incredible work ethic and seeks to perform every song in a way she considers will bring out all the emotions within the lyrics and melody.
You have seen in the comments that Angelina has been referred to as the "Queen of Jazz", "The Barefoot Princess", "The girl with a thousand voices". All of them are true, but I prefer the nickname I gave her after listening to about six of her performances. For me, she is "The chameleon of Song" for as a chameleon is able to change its colour to match its surroundings, so Angelina is able to change the colour of her voice to accurately match the needs of the song to reveal the emotions within the lyrics and melody. Even more remarkable is her innate ability to communicate those same emotions to her listeners.
Blimey Lolli , too late to chat so I'm posting here ! I love this Angelina video so much already and your lady person review is such genius .Love you FVM ***
I remember the first time you heard her sing (Bohemian Rhapsody) and now this! Both are two of my all time favorite Angelina Jordan reaction videos. Great reactions.
Greetings from Scotland! Yes "Exquisite!" At the beginning AJ decided on some changes to the music score so she noted this and gave it to the musical director who just smiles, nods and does what she says - at 9yo! Only AJ could do that! She never sang this in this very aggressive style again because of the damage it would possibly do to her voice! Just a one time full on tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins and his crazy style! Loved the analysis, but loved your pure joy reaction even more!
Watching her video "My Funny Valentine" now that she's 16yo, so tall, so beautiful and with a very distinctive style is a world away from this! Truly one hell of a talented young lady!
That reaction was fun to watch, thank you. Always love to watch people who can really appreciate what she's doing rather than just saying its unblievable.
Recent performances of Angelina would be:

Easy on me: ua-cam.com/video/Mpw5Q76hWWE/v-deo.html
It would be better for her analysis the video of Easy on me as she can actually see her singing live. Maybe she will get around that before her album is released😉
Musical miracle! 🎼 Angel-ina, THE BEST REACTION AND ANALYSIS OF THIS REARRANGED VERSION OF AN OLDER CLASSIC. I FEEL BLESSED TO HAVE FOUND ANGEL-INA AND VERY BLESSED TO HAVE DISCOVERED YOUR CHANNEL! SO MUCH LOVE AND APPRECIATION TO YOU. 💓 enjoying following your journey. A great sense of humor helps me smile. ❤️
Thanks for a fantastic analysis. Since I first saw this yesrs ago when it was published on UA-cam I have considered this as some of the most magic 4 minute of the music history. So grateful that you were able to explain in detail what's so special about it, her technique and the musical intelligence she uses.
That she has an unique musical intelligence is absolutely certain, I attended a concert some years ago where one of the musicians really messed up the song and the rythm. All other singers (of any age), would have just given up, but Angelina in a couple of milliseconds just improvised, made a couple of humming notes, and brought the song back in rythm and structure. That was insane to witness.
Is there a clip of it? That would be awesome to witness!! Does Rusty know about this?
@@louisegogel7973 No, the only clip I know of it, the messed up part is edited out and I think it better stays that way 😊
You are a genius in your own right....bloody well done.
I was ecstatic to see that you have returned to Angelina. Absolutely love your analyses!
You ar extremely knowledgeable and able to explain things quite well for us non-singers.
Thank you for your reaction! Yes she’s absolutely magical!😀🌟❤️
Not being tone-deaf is all that is required to enjoy good music. Having experts like you analyze and describe what little Angelina is instinctively doing takes is to a different level! The charming way you do it is quite special in itself, and I look forward to watching other reactions/analysis of diverse vocalists.
8 years i watch Angelina and as well most reactions,,,,,,this one,,,,this ONE,,,,,,,Wow,,,,,,exceptional in every way,,,,,,,please ,,,more Angelina,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,thanks
Yet another outstanding technical & emotional reaction to the material from Miss J. Very well done
Unbelievable reaction! The best reaction to Angelina I have ever seen I think. I haven''t seen you since you lost it last time, but I'm planning on changing that, as I have now subscribed. The easiest sub that I can recall. One video a week ????????? Are you kidding me ??? You just CAN'T let Angelina slip by, you need to react to HER once a week. Do that and I'm an as happy camper as can be. Not even kidding :-)
NOW! If you want to hear and watch the most recent Angelina video (It is an absolute MUST WATCH), you have to react to her new rendition of "My Funny Valentine", which she dropped on Valentine's Day a month ago. I think that is her most beautiful performance to date, and so do most of her fans. When I say her NEW rendition, it's based on the fact that she also released a rendition of the song when she was 10 years old. The two renditions are almost down to the date 6 years apart. Both are stunningly beautiful. While I'm at it, I'll give you links for both renditons.
Just note that Angelina is currently 16 years old, as of January 10th. She stands 6'1 (1m 85 cm) tall and could probably easily become a model if she so wanted. She is becoming an incredibly beautiful, young woman for sure. LINKS:

Please do this ? You can thank me later :-))))
Much love from Norway :-)
I've watched this video more times than I've watched some of my favorite movies. You're breakdown is phenomenal. I've learned so much from just this analyses. And it makes me even more amazed by the amazing Angelina Jordan. She is by far the greatest child vocalist I've heard in my 30 + years.
I've been waiting for this video eleven months since your analysis of Angelina's 'Bohemian Rhapsody'.
It was worth the wait 👍
I love your reactions! I love them more than pizza pie, ice cream and chocolate put together!!! :)
This girl was born to melt soulful singers hearts.
HELLO GORGEOUS!! 💜 I do so hope you enjoyed my analysis of our little angel.
UPDATE: I have finally come to place where I can afford to produce one video a week 🤩The support you have show me makes this possible. It helps me afford to dedicate 2 days a week to filming and editing. So thank you so so SO much to everyone that helps me in Patreon and buy me a coffee- you make this all possible and therefore, my dreams come true. 🥳
Keep your suggestions coming, I promise they are all counted.
Have the best day 🧚🏼♀
Love you forever,
Lolli xo
Her start came when she was 7 years old as the winner of Norway's got talent. So, two years before this. Might be worth hearing one of the performances from that show.
@@michaelbradley7529 : ...and even before the Norske Talenter she was already in a booth being 6 (!) yo and it is highly recommended to listen to this recording:
(One of?) Her first "visit" to a recording studio at 6yo:
"I who have nothing": ua-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/v-deo.html
😎
Even more amazing is that by then she was still self-taught to it! If reincarnation is a thing, she's obviously the closest example of reincarnation i've seen...
By the way, you said at the beginning that this probably was the beginning of her journey but everything she did on norway's got talent 2 years before that (so she was 7...) was outstanding!
Gloomy Sunday - Billie Holiday
Bang bang - Nancy Sinatra
Summertime - Ella fitzgerald
3 completely outstanding rendition that a 7 y.o shouldn't be able to do
Wow I put this up for you to view over a yr ago, never too late to see talent beyond her then yrs.
Very clearly we all missed you. Never forgot how overwhelmed you got with your first one. Thought at one point you were going to lose it again. Now, might l recommend her recent cover of My Funny Valentine. It will really do two things. First, it will challenge you technically to describe all she does. Second it will show you where she is and the promise of where she might go.
Thank you for your enthusiastic reaction to Angelina. Your response was not surprising!
Norwegian born Angelina began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of only 8, singing old time classics from Billie Holliday and George Gershwin, and became the youngest ever winner of an international Got Talent Show! She also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique version of Bohemian Rhapsody. She is a true prodigy.
She is now 16, and has recorded over 160 songs, including mostly covers and several originals. A major attraction to Angelina's music is the emotion and attitude she conveys, although she has not experienced the life events! She is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices as she can adjust her tone, style, and register for any song or genre. She was signed by Republic Records over a year ago. Here is link from ages 6 to 15 to her chronological performances, including five originals.

Why does Angelina sing barefoot?
When she was 6 years old, she was in the Middle East with her mom and grandmother and they came across a young orphan girl with no shoes and scarred feet. Angelina gave the girl her own shoes and has forever performed barefoot as a reminder of all those less fortunate. At age 9 she wrote a book about this experience, Between two Hearts, becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. She also has helped raise millions for children's charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond.
Angelina penetrates hearts because she is humble and has compassion for humanity. Her stated goal from childhood was to sing for the world and spread love and peace. I trust this will cause you to embrace her as millions of others have, and that you will continue down the rabbit hole from which you would not want to escape. Peace.
What a great reaction. Now that she's totally enticed your senses, would you please react to Angelina's first time in a studio at the age of 6. She covers I Who Have Nothing. I believe this may have also been when she first started arranging her own music. Even at such a young age, she literally blows my mind. This 70 yr old grandmother is addicted to listening to this amazing young lady. I've been watching her for 10+yrs and could never tire of her unique voice. I usually don't like so many interruptions during reactions. But you are a true Angel and obviously very knowledgeable in this field. And even though I'm not, you made it easier for me to understand. I appreciate that. I feel like you've taught me a few things. Thankyou. Plus I must add, you're just so darn cute yourself. I was thinking to myself "I love this girl." Anyone that loves Angelina this much and gets as excited as you do, is a real gem and a class act. God bless you
You bring that "MAGIC" to your reactions, love how you deep dive onto the mechanics of Angelina's singing techniques and ability. How you get and admit there is "something indefinable" in Angelina's performances which take it to the next level in the experience. That "what is it?" we all feel, but can't articulate. Thanks again for the enjoyable reaction. The following are links to some recommendations.....

Truthfully you know you can't go wrong with anything you choose........Good luck with that. We'll be waiting.
OMG, this was reaction/analysis was beyond entertaining… it was educational and astute beyond one’s imagination. And “colorful?… wow, this was inspired: “…teenie weenie bambini Angilini”. ❤️❤️❤️ 👣
I can hardly imagine the knowledge, effort and work that is behind your analysis. And the astonishing thing is that you make it seem easy!...
This is the best and most informative reaction to this song that I have seen! She has so many more for you to see yet, but if you really want to see where she first started, you need to see her do Gloomy Sunday on Norway's got talent when she was just 7 years old. Gloomy Sunday was her first audition, followed by an acapella version of I'm a fool to want you and an amazing version of bang bang before winning the show with Summertime. She turned 8 during this show and you can really see so much development since then, but it is truly remarkable that a 7 year old has the ability to sing any of these songs at all, but to sing them with so much emotion and incredible style at such an age is just pure magic. I have never believed in past lives, but she has me thinking that I was wrong about that because she is an old soul who MUST have been here before!
Incredible voice, amazing reaction as always.
I love your reaction to our fantastic Queen of Jazz ,remember there is a 6year old , ngt 7 to 8 years , I do wish you will do a lot more of Miss A.J , as I love the things that you are pointing out , also I don't know I you have seen there are over 150+ of this fantastic artist , lastly I call the her the 5th element that was missing in this world of ours , I listen to her every day more than once and it makes everything better
the greatest young singer of all time!
A common reaction to AJ performances from ages 6-12 is: 'I don't think she understands how good she really is ...' What is going on behind those fiercely intelligent eyes when she is singing remains an eternal mystery to me, but you've managed to raise the curtain just a little with this fabulous review of what I and many other fans believe is her stand-out pre-teen performance ... the one that will be revisited in years to come for documentary biog films and that will occupy a whole chapter in books about her rise to fame. Your reaction also is outstanding ... a worthy companion to what is a seminal work in Angelina's canon - thank you! R (Australia)
I absolutely adore Angelina's voice! She so talented beyond her years.
Since she was 8, musicians who worked with Angelina call her "The Boss".
I would suggest her My Funny Valentine she just released on Valentines Day this year. It is her newest release and she really displays lots of textures. It’s one of her most beautiful songs and really shows off the jazz singer she is. A few reactors have paired it with her version of the same song at 10 years old.
I am so impressed with the interplay of your intelligence and your emotions, it was so sweet how you were overwhelmed on, "Bohemian", and on this reaction, broke it down so succinctly and entertainingly, I thought it simply brilliant! And you look amazing, as well.
What a super reaction. I love all the anatomical nuances you go into. And you are right, she's a genius in her musical understanding. Please don't wait so long for the next one of Angelina.
I would just like to add that Angelina never sang in this sort of loud growling style again, and people say it's because it would damage her vocal cords.
She is absolutely magical, and I don't think she has any peers, but I kept thinking what a fun voice teacher you would be!! Thanks!!
You should definitely react also to a couple of songs from her time when she won Norway Got Talent. There was a huge growth between her first auditions (Gloomy Sunday - Billie Halliday, and I'm a fool to want you (acapella) when she was 7, vs her final song at age 8 (Summertime) when her English was incredibly improved and her front tooth was almost completely grown!
In terms of her latest, it's a tough choice. "Million Miles" is her own song dedicated to her grandpa who had recently passed (amazing songwriter too!). Her absolute latest is "My funny valentine". I don't know how one would pick from them!
Shield is worth a listen too.
I do enjoy your reactions/analytics, and the way you express yourself. Makes my belly hurt with chuckles. And of course, we all love this musical genius, regardless what age she happens to be.
Hiya Lolli !! ✨ Thank you so much for reacting to Angelina again. Your first reaction to her remains one of my all time favorite reactions to this amazingly gifted artist. And this reaction - wow - the things you see/hear/recognize, from the magical emotional impact, to the extremely technical nuances... Thank you for your incredible insight into all of it! 🥰 You are just so intelligent and genuine. Loved this, as much as hearing Angelina sing it (for the 100th+ time). She's 16 today, and has only somehow gotten better over the past seven years. She has 150+ covers and originals now. Most recently, she covered "My Funny Valentine", it demonstrates her passion and gifts for performing old-style jazz. And as many have suggested already, there exist 4 performances related to her Norway's Got Talent experience (7-8 yrs old). Each amazing and powerful. Gosh, there are so many more to pick from. Just please pick something! All of her fans (her Angels) will love to see you react more to Angelina. Thank you again! And Happy St Patrick's Day! 💚🍀
You are an absolute treat, thank you so much for this! 💖
This is one of the best, if not the best, Angelina reaction I have seen.
It is simply incomprehensible how good she is.
IMHO The is The Greatest Performance Ever by The Greatest of all Time.
9 years old and does her own arrangements. Amazing
It was a real pleasure to watch and listen to your insights. Angelina can be a wonderful mirror for all of us.
One of the things I've noticed about Angelina singing this song and reactors is the more people know about singing the more impressed they are with it.
Wonderful reaction to our Angel, thank you very much! It´s great to hear technical explanations of her genius that we all intuitively feel. Until next time! ♥
Fairy Voice Mother - watching your excitement reacting to this little singing angel ... keeps me smiling ... 👍👍
BrilliANT assessment!!!! ANGELina is simply a f’ing GENIUS!!!!!!!!
You are THE best reviewer of Angelina. I am in my 70's and I consider this a jazz masterpiece irrespective of her age. Oh, your various smiles, laughs, etc are freakin' adorable. Well done.
This is best reaction i ever seen...wow
Great reaction you need to see her now. Angelina's latest my My Funny Valentine I would love to see your reaction. And her tictoc's omg!. Looking forward to future reactions.
Thank you for explaining how Angelina is able to sing like she does. I am moved every time I hear her sing. She packs so much emotion in it that I cannot help but react. I know her ability is a gift from God but your analysis helps me to understand the techniques she uses.
She's doing all the arrangements herself, she's the boss. She won a talent competition at the age of 7.
Love Angelina and all she does. I have to say here, I am in love with how you break down the vocal performance and explaine the techniques of the voice. I find it so interesting in how the articulation of the mouth and mechanical use of the voice box to produce amazing sounds. Just love you! So as always stay safe my dear and much love you you and yours.
Absolutely brilliant comment/analysis, I already thought your previous one stood out as the best to that song. I am also intrigued by your facial expressions during the song, it feels as you are deeply feeling the music. I am sure all of us here would agree that Angelina is exceptional, a genius, none of us have witnessed anything like it in 50 years. Recently I was intrigued by "I am still holding out for you", when she was 10, but there are so many other songs. My "Funny Valentine" when she just turned 16 is also a good example how she developed (although I don't really like the song itself...). Please come back to Angelina, she is worth your time !!
Yeah! I know what you mean. In my case, I have never heard any singer as good and versatile as Angelina in more than 70 years. 🙂
