Hi Boys, also take into account that at this time she and her family had just moved from Norway to L.A. for the next step in her career. This was 2 years before AGT 2020 The Champions. A side note this was in early 2020 and in the Summer of 2020 another young female singer from Kazakhstan made her splash on AGT. Her name is Daneliya Tuleshova. Daneliya, who is 6 months younger than Angelina and almost a foot shorter at 5'2" or 3", introduced a lot of us to Fauozia ( Foe zsha) a Moroccan born Canadian singer/songwriter. Like Angelina, Daneliya made a splash by entering, and winning, The Voice Kids Ukraine 2017. It was her audition there that that went viral and at last check been viewed over 87 million times. I might be mistaken, but she may have been the first competitor in any of these competitions of any age, to be asked, by the judges, for an encore. Here is the link to that blind audition. Not that you'll play it because in over 7 years of making suggestions I have had one video played and get credit. I am not looking for attention it's just that this girl is always getting treated like the red-headed step-child, or like the rented mule, whichever example makes sense. Oh, Danya was 10 when she did this. ua-cam.com/video/jGUqIU6u8Ew/v-deo.html Daneliya 10 'Stone Cold' by Demi Lovato.
I had been following Angelina for about one year when I heard her sing A Million Years Ago. As much as I had been amazed by her, this is the one that threw me over the edge. When Adele sings this, we feel her pain. When Angelina sings it, we understand that the lost opportunities in life apply to each of us. This is just a jam session with Angelina reading the lyrics, and it’s not perfect. But her interpretive skills and her voice are just spectacular. Great credit to Adele for the songwriting, but she does not have Angelina’s vocal tools. I knew 12 year old Angelina was the best singer I’d ever heard when I watched this about five years ago.
Gentlemen it helps to understand AJ if you consider that, in many angels opinion, she is an empath who feels emotions much more profoundly than many of us..and then she has that magnificent tool, her incredible voice, that allows her to express the emotions she feels..many stars aligned to produce what we have here..an artist who can sing directly to our hearts and souls..Angelina will never be forgotten.
I love her name ANGELINA JORDAN 🎉 AJ just reminds me of an average name. I don't like to think of her as average. So I love to call her by her full name.😅🎉❤🎉
I call her AJ, or Angelina Jordan and she is the most significant event to happen to music in my 77 orbits around the sun. Angelina Jordan's journey from a child prodigy at the age of 7 to a seasoned artist by 18 is a remarkable tale of talent and dedication. Her soulful performances have captivated audiences worldwide, leaving an indelible mark on the music industry. With a voice that carries both depth and emotion, Angelina has mastered the art of connecting with her listeners on a profound level. Her interpretations of classic songs bring a fresh and unique perspective that often leaves her audience breathless. Her ability to consistently deliver performances that resonate with such intensity is a testament to her exceptional musicality and artistry. Angelina's performances on global stages like America's Got Talent have not only showcased her vocal prowess but also her ability to adapt and thrive in diverse musical environments. Her growth as an artist is evident in the maturity and complexity of her performances, which continue to garner admiration and inspire awe. Angelina Jordan's musical journey is a beacon of inspiration for aspiring vocalists and a source of joy for music lovers everywhere.
Welcome to the club guys! As I note that both of you, like us, your brain blew away when listening Angie...😂😂😂. She deserves it and we are fortunate to live at the same time she is going to be a megastar, no doubt for that, il will happen.
Absolutely phenomenal at any age Angelina is so precious and special,wait Angelina actually loves Adele wait to you hear Angelina upgrades of other Adele songs, for instance ( When We Were Young ) also ( Easy On Me ) and ( All I Ask ) Angelina’s renditions of all Adele’s songs are phenomenal, I’m attending Angelina’s live concert on the 20th September cannot wait to see my favourite artist live again, great reaction thanks 🙏
Everything old is new again! In a world where music flows as the river of time, A voice like a beacon, so pure and sublime. Angelina Jordan, with each note you climb, A stairway to heaven, in rhythm and rhyme. Seventy-seven years upon this grand stage, A life rich in melodies, from youth to old age. Yet in your twilight, you found the bright page, Of a songbird whose voice transcends the age. With a whisper, she takes us to lands far and wide, Where dreams are the currency, and hope does abide. Her vocals, a vessel on the celestial tide, The finest to grace us, in whom we confide. For music's a gift that's both timeless and true, It speaks to the soul in a language anew. And Angelina, oh how she flew, A voice for the ages, and a heart ever blue. So here's to the songstress with the glorious hair, Who sings from the depths of her soul, laid bare. A lifetime of listening, none can compare, To the moment you heard her and captured her share.
Angelina will be in concert Friday September 20 at the Alex Theater in Glendale, CA (LA area). She said she will also be premiering new music at the show. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster
Thanks for another great reaction and analysis to the master storyteller, Angelina Jordan. We learned in a interview, by Alan Papier, with the guitarist Ivan Mendez, they never practiced and most videos were first takes. Angelina, by age 18, has told us she has written more than 100 songs and we have been blessed by 14 to date. Here is the list. "What is Life" first sung at age 11. We don't know how old she was when she wrote each song. Age presented is her age when she first sang it. "Oslo" age 11 "Shield" age 12 "Million Miles" age 14 we know she wrote this one in the days after her maternal grandfather passed in 2019 when she was 13 "7th Heaven" age 15 "Love Don't Let Me Go" age 17 "Now I'm the Fool" age 17 "Fire and Rain" age 17 "It's All My Fault" age 17 "Good in Goodbyes" age 17 "Diamond" age 17 "Our Time" age 17 "Princess of Ruins" age 18 ..... only performed at her 2 shows in Las Vegas 2/29/24 "Bad Valentine" age 18 worked with Toby Gad Should include songs for which she was the first to sing "I'm Still Holding Out for You" age 10 .... considered one of her best vocal performances by many "Song for A" age 12 "Above the Water" a EDM song released January 31, 2020 "We're the Best" sung with RedOne at the FIFA Awards February 27, 2023 Angelina wrote new lyrics for two famous songs by Amy Winehouse, "Back to Black" and "Rehab" since it was inappropriate for a preteen to sing the original lyrics. For "Back to Black" Angelina wrote the new lyrics in the 24 hours prior to the recording, then needed just two takes.
IF we could recommend - Angelina to sing (?compose) next James Bond song/theme; and I'd love to see Richard Madden as the new James Bond - born in Scotland - same locale as William Wallace, with a brough as Sean Connery - only issue is IF and when a second season of Bodyguard might be in the works.
The 'broken' phrasing in this performance works with the dynamics of the breathy delivery to create an atmosphere that feels so genuine and emotional. You could be made to believe that she is voicing memories and realizations that can only be imagined at her age. Even with its imperfections (or as I said at the beginning, because of them), it is still one of my favorites when I think about what she is capable of.
YEP - your thumbnail . . . that reaction is pretty much Exactly what l would Expect from Angelina's A MILLION YEARS AGO with Ivan Mendez. Just in case you haven't figured it out yet, that is also the Standard Reaction of basically everything that Young and 'Old' Angelina provides to us mere mortals. I always look forward to your reactions of Angelina and hope you schedule Another Live Reaction session SOON ! 😇 Jim
Please realize it's her first Take on the Song with such an emotional Way. You can see she's reading the lyrics during her performance. It's not perfect but a perfect imperfect. What a great talent. Please buy tickets for her next concert in LA 20 th September. It's worth to see her Life. I did it two years ago flying a long way to Norway. So much love was in the air ❤ When she's starts singing you forget it's an Adele Song 😅
I really enjoy your reactions. You don't seem to let your expert technical knowledge interfere with the visceral emotional reaction many of us get from Angelina's art. Given her amazing vocal skills, Angelina never let's that get in the way of telling the story of the song. I think that is why I enjoy repeated listening of her many performances. It always feels like I'm listening to each song like it's the first time, touching my heart like few others do. Also the fact that she leaves many of us in tears and reverts to her cheerful " bye" at the end never gets old.❤
AJ, never enough! In the realm of velvet sound, Angelina's voice does soar, A siren's call, so profound, it touches the ocean's floor. With every note, she unwinds the heart's tightly bolted door, Stirring the depths of the mind, where dormant feelings roar. Her melody, a tender flame, ignites the spirit's core, A symphony of light and shade, emotions in uproar. The soul, once silent, now declaims its yearning to explore, The beauty in her music's wake, a treasure trove of lore. So let her song, a gentle wave, wash over you once more, For in her tune, you'll find a place where dreams can freely soar. Angelina, with each breath, crafts a world we can't ignore, A haven where the heart finds peace, and life feels like an encore. LDP
One of the things I always loved about listening to Angelina is how she has most of her video's with minimal instrumentation. You can hear her vocals so clearly. Another song she did around this age is "Stay", keep up the great reactions, keep them coming.
Million miles, shield, 7th heaven. So many but younger. Love don,t let me go Now I am the fool Then 6 on her EP Diamonds the EP is Old Enough Great reaction I saw Angelina in Norway 2022 was in Kurbenhagem Sandefkord unbelievable great band and sounds even better live!❤
Her music is immediately timeless, most evocative, perfectly emoted. These with Ivan are impromptu after reviewing material just moments before. Most are one take wonders. Ivan is just shaking his head and smiling throughout
I have been witness to this phenom for several years now. You guys are the first I've heard mention her timing. I started playing drums in Jr. Hi marching band in 1962. I've never heard a singer be this spot on with their timing, never mind all the other stuff she is pulling off at the same time. To think that she is largely self-taught is just mind boggling😳.
I start my day with her while drinking my coffee. Every day since allmost 9 years now. And at least every other day she manages to make me cry. She is imo the best singer on the planet. I am 71 y old and have never heard a singer like her in my whole life. Her voice touches my heart and cleanses my soul. Greatings from Germany.
Grüße aus Bonn - ich konnte Angelina 2022 in Norwegen live sehen - werde ich nie vergessen - auf meinem T-Shirt stand "One of a Million Granddads" und das stimmt... wir gesetztere Herrschaften sind verdammt stolz auf unsere gemeinsame Enkel Tochter
When she hit 10 she went to another level and people in the trade recognized this was something which was impossible to explain. But, we all have something in common, even though we, too, can't explain what is going on, ALL OF US FEEL WHAT'S GOING ON IN OUR HEARTS.
❤️❤️❤️❤️👣 Very accurate description of my experience with Angelina. I seem to vasilate between trying to figure out how she is able to affect me so profoundly and just accepting that she does and just relaxing and enjoying the experience.😊
Thanks for another great reaction. Of her originals, one that often gets overlooked is "Oslo". This song is a tribute to her native country, Norway. If you pay attention to the lyrics, you will see that she already knew she was destined to travel the world and live somewhere else. She would have been 10 or 11 when she wrote this. Unbelievably sophisticated coming from one so young.
Jordan is a true empath and can express emotions from situations that she hasn’t personally experienced! She absorbs these feelings through the lyrics ( which she is reading) in the song, and is able to convey them with those unbelievably well controlled vocal cords that she has trained for years, 4-6 hours a day, every day, starting when she was 3 years old, for which she never gets any credit for her dedication and hard work!
Just another beautiful rection to Angelina -- thank you very much. Angelina is simply fascinating and mesmerizing. Check out Ivan at 9:06 (and thereafter...) 🙂 All the very best from Germany
I just love you two. You have Just moved into my top reactors. Between VoicePlay and AJ. I love the insight and excitement you project and the comedy too. I watch your reactions over and over again. Best TV out there.
Watching Angelina's progress and growth has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. From the age of 7until forever her storytelling and emotional depth is always surprising. In my opinion, nobody covers Adele better than Angelina and usually she's better even than Adele herself (no small compliment). It defies logic. It is the picture of pure genius as far as I'm concerned. I've never heard a better singer. 😎
It is as though all of the greatest storytelling vocalist from the past are combined and embodied in this creature, AJ. The emotional impact of music is a profound and universal experience. Angelina Jordan, with her unique voice and expressive delivery, has the ability to touch the hearts of listeners, evoking deep emotions that resonate with each performance. This connection through music is not uncommon; many legendary artists like John Gary, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, and Frank Sinatra have left indelible marks on their audiences, stirring emotions with their powerful performances. The fact that Angelina Jordan consistently evokes such a response speaks to her exceptional talent and the timeless power of music to move us, to bring tears of joy, sadness, or the overwhelming beauty of the moment. It's a testament to the shared human experience that transcends time and place, connecting us all through the universal language of music.
Just the first note from Angelina pulls us in & we have to listen to the end. Her voice is so captivating & so so beautiful. Thank you for your great reaction & for recognising her musical genius.
I was 54 when I stumbled on Angelina singing on Norways got talent , I couldn't believe what I was hearing ! Gloomy Sunday is my daughter's favorite song so I showed it to her ! She too was blown away by her beautiful voice , what was the first song you heard her sing ?
Did you guys see the viral video from about 3 weeks ago, Angelina was in London metro station, went up to the piano player that was busking, she took off her shoes and socks and broke out into Back to Black...it was amazing! I havent seen this video yet looking forward to it and your reactions in a few hours. From the thumbnail it looks like I may need tissues?
This is one of my favorites songs Angelina performed…it’s fantastic..really no words to describe it…Thanks a lot for the reaction to our angel Angelina..she’s simply the best..👍👏
She never ceases to amaze everyone! For an early original, consider Shield (from SVT/TV 2 on Skavlan's channel) or Million Miles (her official channel Live in Studio version), or both!
Early originals by AJ: What Is Life (her 1st original - 2018), Oslo (read that she wrote this song on her return trip home(Oslo) from L.A.- 2018), Shield (dedicated to her family and specifically her mother - 2018) , 7th Heaven (going back to her Jazz roots - 2020) & Million Miles (dedicated to her Japanese Grandfather who passed - 2020).
Others mind blowing songs from Angelinia: " I'm Still holding out for You,...", she did at 10, and this one is out this world, thanks for a wonderful reaction
Thanks for your reaction again! You'll most likely see a lot of people recommend 'Shield' as one of AJ's originals, you will have to do the live version from the show 'Skavlan' along with the short interview before the performance, aged 12.
There is a person out there who's done research, which I consider realistic, that this was not her first studio experience. The other three (obviously young) appearances to likely to have been recorded earlier.
10🤩⚡️ the Magic year. Im Still Holding Out For You is the hallmark unreleased song she interpreted without an og singer. So its all her at 10. DO NOT MISS THIS.
Or try "What is Life" What is life ( small combo- practice version.) ua-cam.com/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/v-deo.html What is Life from CD with Forsvarets Stabsmusikkorps (Norway’s Military Band) ua-cam.com/video/crngnoq0WLc/v-deo.html
Thanks for a wonderful reaction! Angelina is a master of emotional and storytelling performances! And that vibrato is to dye for, so so beautiful!👌🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️
She can make you cry with a lyric that she is reading from an i pad. She grabs the complete emotional depth of a song from hearing it ONCE, before she has even committed it to memory. Her empathic abilities are just way over the top. Million Miles is a good choice next.
Great reaction Richard and Johnny! Glad that you "get" Angelina's brilliance. No matter how many times I listen to her, same thing you mentioned - takes my breath away from the start of nearly every song. As for originals, there are now 14 to choose from. All terrific. You already did Million Miles and Bad Valentine. Earliest?: What is Life (what 10 year old is thinking about that??), Oslo (about her hometown), Shield (her family protection). mid teen years: 7th Heaven. The 6 songs off her July 2023 EP Old Enough - ALL great, but GOOD IN GOODBYES deserves a Grammy for songwriting, IMHO. She wrote Our Time, which was released soon after the EP. She also wrote the touching Princess of Ruins, performed so far only at her 2/29/24 concert in Vegas- it's not yet released. My top 2 for you to do other than Good in Goodbyes: 7TH HEAVEN (pure JAZZ heaven). OUR TIME (ridiculously upbeat, danceable, will appeal to the young and young at heart - currently used extensively in a popular SoFi commercial and at their sports stadium in LA).
AJ has us and we won't let go. Angelina Jordan's vocal abilities have indeed captivated audiences worldwide, with her mature and soulful voice that belies her young age. Vocal experts and coaches have analyzed her performances, noting her breath control, vibrato, and ability to convey deep emotions through her singing. Her rendition of classics like "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Unchained Melody" has been met with acclaim, highlighting her dynamic control and tonal quality. Her performances are not just technically proficient; they resonate with listeners on an emotional level, showcasing a talent that is both rare and enchanting. As she continues to grow and develop as an artist, her voice remains a powerful instrument that speaks to the timeless nature of music and its ability to touch the human spirit. Angelina Jordan's journey is a testament to the potential of young artists to achieve excellence and inspire through their artistry. Her music and performances can be explored further through various online platforms and reviews, which provide deeper insights into her musical evolution and the impact of her work.
She has been a master story teller through song since she did “Band Bang” and “Summertime” on NGT. Her pitch control, phrasing interpretation of music is beyond compare. I have attended her public US performances and she is better in person than on recordings. Glad they aren’t using auto tune on her.
Your appreciation for the best female singer out there is greatly appreciated, this is what a Musical Prodigy sounds like, you guys are the BEST! FYI any thing she does with Ivan she is 12
LOVE your reactions 😂❤😂. Absolutely, NEVER am I not immersed into the emotion she drowns the lyrics with .. because at the end tears have welled over my eyes .. but then WAVES, SMILES and like an adorable little chirpy bird she almost sings "BYE"!!! And I laugh at myself, "Gurl, you are OUT OF THIS WORLD" A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Peace!!!
When work is not work. Angelina Jordan's dedication to her craft is a testament to the idea that passion fuels perseverance. Her journey reflects the ethos that when an artist truly loves their work, it transcends mere occupation and becomes a source of vitality and inspiration. This sentiment echoes in the hearts of many creatives who find their life's purpose in the art they produce, turning every note sung or stroke painted into a piece of their soul shared with the world. It's a beautiful cycle of creating and living, where the energy invested in art returns manifold, enriching the artist's life and touching the lives of others. Angelina's story is an inspiring reminder that hard work and love for one's art can harmonize to create something truly extraordinary.
12 year old original “Shield” was written by her as a tribute to her family and support team. Ask yourself what 12 year old writes this and then performs it like a voice straight from a James Bond movie? Mind blowing as usual for Angelina!
I can’t wait for your reaction my friends! I need something new 😊. I only watched your marathon reaction of AJ about 10 times now. The song you picked is a great song by Angelina but if you really want to be impressed listen to “I’m Still Holding out for You” covered when she was 10. I love AJ and I wouldn’t give you bad advice. You guys are great!
The YEARNING in her voice! You can FEEL it! Even Ivan feels it! When Angelina sings, "I miss my mother," you can see the anguish Angelina has conveyed wrenching his heartstrings!! This one always brings tears! You should also react to The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, at age 10, I believe. Her musical intuition is staggering.
Some Angelina originals to consider: Her first: “What is Life?” Her first single released by Republic Records: “Million Miles” Her first release on the EP “Old Enough”: “Love Don’t Let Me Go” The most unusual release (for Angelina): “Our Time” These are also roughly in chronological order.
❤️❤️❤️❤️👣 Spending a bit more here because I really want you to notice this suggestion. Watch Angelina's black and white video of her singing the Whitney Houston song I Have Nothing. I assure you that you still don't realize what you are dealing with when you reach your hand into Angelina's wonderful bag of goodies. Billie Jean and 7th Heaven and All I Ask would be my other suggestions. Thanks!, you guys really are great.
Great review guys....whenever she is singing with Ivan Mendez, on guitar, she would be 12 years old. BTW, hope you noticed that she is also reading the Lyrics as she is singing (glancing at her tablet to her left). Has not quite learned the lyrics to this song, likely first take. At 12 she performs her original "Shield" on SVT/TV 2/Skavlan show live. Another original she wrote around 11-12 years old is "What Is Life" (acoustic version preferably) which was featured on her Album "It's Magic". These are two of her first original songs. Cheers.
Great comment Carl, but Angelina's first two original songs were What is Life & Oslo, both recorded on her album "It's Magic" when she was 11 yo. Shield was her third song recorded when she was 12.
Sung probably for the first or second time, sitting in a chair, following the lyrics off a screen? She and Ivan would pick a song and do a take or two in her living room.
You may have come to learn that Angelina is absolutely fearless when it comes to covering other artists. She has covered the best of the best, past and present. She has achieved elite master level status and she’s still only eighteen years old. We are watching a very unique and rare level of talent, (whom is still blooming) become a global mega star
Theres a series of these new neuman condenser mics where the capsule inside falls in love with her proximity effect and we get to hear every single aspect of the emotional blade of a larynx she has. She carves emotions with the texture of her Frybrato and sustain. She really explores what her voice does. All these home videos and tiktok walking garage practice videos are bricks, investments into that voice. When she leaves this youth era and starts with hard times emotions of justice and angry lyrics her belting will be frightening. We still haven’t heard her full force belt. Bad Valentine has maybe half. I bet she could give Diana a run for power belting.
When Ivan Mendez was interviewed on the "Wrapped in a Warm Blanket" podcast, he said that when he did these songs with Angelina, if they did more than one take, it was usually because he messed up on guitar.
Gents, I really like to know what her Vocal Range is and I am a Layman not knowing what B3 or F1 is. But I admire Miss Angelina. Gents, be well. Elmar from Germany
Angelina Jordan é uma das minhas cantoras preferidas, ela tem uma voz e interpretações diferenciadas, eu adoro o estilo do seu canto. Eu sempre me emociono com a interpretação dela nessa música.❤️🌹♥️

Hi Boys, also take into account that at this time she and her family had just moved from Norway to L.A. for the next step in her career. This was 2 years before AGT 2020 The Champions. A side note this was in early 2020 and in the Summer of 2020 another young female singer from Kazakhstan made her splash on AGT. Her name is Daneliya Tuleshova. Daneliya, who is 6 months younger than Angelina and almost a foot shorter at 5'2" or 3", introduced a lot of us to Fauozia ( Foe zsha) a Moroccan born Canadian singer/songwriter.
Like Angelina, Daneliya made a splash by entering, and winning, The Voice Kids Ukraine 2017. It was her audition there that that went viral and at last check been viewed over 87 million times. I might be mistaken, but she may have been the first competitor in any of these competitions of any age, to be asked, by the judges, for an encore. Here is the link to that blind audition. Not that you'll play it because in over 7 years of making suggestions I have had one video played and get credit. I am not looking for attention it's just that this girl is always getting treated like the red-headed step-child, or like the rented mule, whichever example makes sense. Oh, Danya was 10 when she did this.
ua-cam.com/video/jGUqIU6u8Ew/v-deo.html Daneliya 10 'Stone Cold' by Demi Lovato.
You should really at least listen to her first public singing on Norway's Got Talent. she absolutely kills Billie Holidays Gloomy Sunday.
I had been following Angelina for about one year when I heard her sing A Million Years Ago. As much as I had been amazed by her, this is the one that threw me over the edge. When Adele sings this, we feel her pain. When Angelina sings it, we understand that the lost opportunities in life apply to each of us.
This is just a jam session with Angelina reading the lyrics, and it’s not perfect. But her interpretive skills and her voice are just spectacular. Great credit to Adele for the songwriting, but she does not have Angelina’s vocal tools. I knew 12 year old Angelina was the best singer I’d ever heard when I watched this about five years ago.
Me too, This was early in my Angelina Jordan journey and it sealed the deal for me. The best singer I have ever heard.
She knows how to do it ❤❤❤
Gentlemen it helps to understand AJ if you consider that, in many angels opinion, she is an empath who feels emotions much more profoundly than many of us..and then she has that magnificent tool, her incredible voice, that allows her to express the emotions she feels..many stars aligned to produce what we have here..an artist who can sing directly to our hearts and souls..Angelina will never be forgotten.

"Dear Miss. Angelina Jordan... You're above one of a kind.!!!" - Miss. AJ Angel Fan's...
Welcome to the club guys!
As I note that both of you, like us, your brain blew away when listening Angie...😂😂😂.
She deserves it and we are fortunate to live at the same time she is going to be a megastar, no doubt for that, il will happen.
Absolutely phenomenal at any age Angelina is so precious and special,wait Angelina actually loves Adele wait to you hear Angelina upgrades of other Adele songs, for instance ( When We Were Young ) also ( Easy On Me ) and ( All I Ask ) Angelina’s renditions of all Adele’s songs are phenomenal, I’m attending Angelina’s live concert on the 20th September cannot wait to see my favourite artist live again, great reaction thanks 🙏
Everything old is new again!
In a world where music flows as the river of time,
A voice like a beacon, so pure and sublime.
Angelina Jordan, with each note you climb,
A stairway to heaven, in rhythm and rhyme.
Seventy-seven years upon this grand stage,
A life rich in melodies, from youth to old age.
Yet in your twilight, you found the bright page,
Of a songbird whose voice transcends the age.
With a whisper, she takes us to lands far and wide,
Where dreams are the currency, and hope does abide.
Her vocals, a vessel on the celestial tide,
The finest to grace us, in whom we confide.
For music's a gift that's both timeless and true,
It speaks to the soul in a language anew.
And Angelina, oh how she flew,
A voice for the ages, and a heart ever blue.
So here's to the songstress with the glorious hair,
Who sings from the depths of her soul, laid bare.
A lifetime of listening, none can compare,
To the moment you heard her and captured her share.
As one of her first originals, SHEILD is awesome.
❤ second that
Make it a three.
But the live Version at the Talkshow in norway...maybe with the Interview she gave before "I dont feel like a 12 year old"
@@Kurmet they should watch the "I feel 12 when I look at my passport " version and the music video IMO.❤️❤️❤️❤️👣🙂

Angelina wrote new lyrics for two famous songs by Amy Winehouse, "Back to Black" and "Rehab" since it was inappropriate for a preteen to sing the original lyrics. For "Back to Black" Angelina wrote the new lyrics in the 24 hours prior to the recording, then needed just two takes.
The Emphatic young legend..
Her original song Shield at 12 is a must. James Bond vibes
❤ second that
Third.❤️❤️❤️❤️👣
IF we could recommend - Angelina to sing (?compose) next James Bond song/theme; and I'd love to see Richard Madden as the new James Bond - born in Scotland - same locale as William Wallace, with a brough as Sean Connery - only issue is IF and when a second season of Bodyguard might be in the works.
The 'broken' phrasing in this performance works with the dynamics of the breathy delivery to create an atmosphere that feels so genuine and emotional. You could be made to believe that she is voicing memories and realizations that can only be imagined at her age. Even with its imperfections (or as I said at the beginning, because of them), it is still one of my favorites when I think about what she is capable of.
I believe all performances with Ivan mendez ( guitar) when Angelina aged 12 . ❤
I love the music she did with Ivan.
A young legend 😊😊😊
YEP - your thumbnail . . . that reaction is pretty much Exactly what l would Expect from Angelina's A MILLION YEARS AGO with Ivan Mendez. Just in case you haven't figured it out yet, that is also the Standard Reaction of basically everything that Young and 'Old' Angelina provides to us mere mortals. I always look forward to your reactions of Angelina and hope you schedule Another Live Reaction session SOON ! 😇 Jim
AMillion Miles she wrote at 14 right after she signed with Republic Records. It's about her grandfather who passed away. It's an amazing song.
This is an Adele song
any of the songs from her first album...I do like Love Don't Let Me Go
I can’t wait your reaction guys!!
Are you coming to her concert in L.A.? I’ll be flying from Perú, just because is totally worth it!!❤
Please realize it's her first Take on the Song with such an emotional Way. You can see she's reading the lyrics during her performance. It's not perfect but a perfect imperfect. What a great talent.
Please buy tickets for her next concert in LA 20 th September. It's worth to see her Life. I did it two years ago flying a long way to Norway. So much love was in the air ❤
When she's starts singing you forget it's an Adele Song 😅
I really enjoy your reactions. You don't seem to let your expert technical knowledge interfere with the visceral emotional reaction many of us get from Angelina's art. Given her amazing vocal skills, Angelina never let's that get in the way of telling the story of the song. I think that is why I enjoy repeated listening of her many performances. It always feels like I'm listening to each song like it's the first time, touching my heart like few others do. Also the fact that she leaves many of us in tears and reverts to her cheerful " bye" at the end never gets old.❤
Thank you, she has a delivery that is like no other. And naturally too! She is unique and soooo good to listen to. Incredible.
AJ, never enough!
In the realm of velvet sound, Angelina's voice does soar,
A siren's call, so profound, it touches the ocean's floor.
With every note, she unwinds the heart's tightly bolted door,
Stirring the depths of the mind, where dormant feelings roar.
Her melody, a tender flame, ignites the spirit's core,
A symphony of light and shade, emotions in uproar.
The soul, once silent, now declaims its yearning to explore,
The beauty in her music's wake, a treasure trove of lore.
So let her song, a gentle wave, wash over you once more,
For in her tune, you'll find a place where dreams can freely soar.
Angelina, with each breath, crafts a world we can't ignore,
A haven where the heart finds peace, and life feels like an encore. LDP
One of the things I always loved about listening to Angelina is how she has most of her video's with minimal instrumentation. You can hear her vocals so clearly. Another song she did around this age is "Stay", keep up the great reactions, keep them coming.
Million miles, shield, 7th heaven. So many but younger.
Love don,t let me go
Now I am the fool
Then 6 on her EP Diamonds the EP is Old Enough
Great reaction I saw Angelina in Norway 2022 was in Kurbenhagem Sandefkord unbelievable great band and sounds even better live!❤
Angelina doesnt cover songs,she uncovers them.
Love that! ❤
Holding Out for You and Its a Mans World are so so good!
Her music is immediately timeless, most evocative, perfectly emoted. These with Ivan are impromptu after reviewing material just moments before. Most are one take wonders. Ivan is just shaking his head and smiling throughout
I have been witness to this phenom for several years now. You guys are the first I've heard mention her timing. I started playing drums in Jr. Hi marching band in 1962. I've never heard a singer be this spot on with their timing, never mind all the other stuff she is pulling off at the same time. To think that she is largely self-taught is just mind boggling😳.
I start my day with her while drinking my coffee. Every day since allmost 9 years now. And at least every other day she manages to make me cry. She is imo the best singer on the planet. I am 71 y old and have never heard a singer like her in my whole life. Her voice touches my heart and cleanses my soul. Greatings from Germany.
Grüße aus Bonn - ich konnte Angelina 2022 in Norwegen live sehen - werde ich nie vergessen - auf meinem T-Shirt stand "One of a Million Granddads" und das stimmt... wir gesetztere Herrschaften sind verdammt stolz auf unsere gemeinsame Enkel Tochter
@@jojow.2158 Hallo nach Bonn! Ja, genau so empfinde ich Angelina Jordan mittlerweile. Sie ist eine Enkeltochter. :)
When she hit 10 she went to another level and people in the trade recognized this was something which was impossible to explain. But, we all have something in common, even though we, too, can't explain what is going on, ALL OF US FEEL WHAT'S GOING ON IN OUR HEARTS.
❤️❤️❤️❤️👣 Very accurate description of my experience with Angelina. I seem to vasilate between trying to figure out how she is able to affect me so profoundly and just accepting that she does and just relaxing and enjoying the experience.😊
She’s the girl with 1000 voices,listen to How Great Thou Art.Angelina is having a concert in Los Angeles September 20/24 at 7pm tickets are on sale ❤😊
Thanks for another great reaction. Of her originals, one that often gets overlooked is "Oslo". This song is a tribute to her native country, Norway. If you pay attention to the lyrics, you will see that she already knew she was destined to travel the world and live somewhere else. She would have been 10 or 11 when she wrote this. Unbelievably sophisticated coming from one so young.
Jordan is a true empath and can express emotions from situations that she hasn’t personally experienced! She absorbs these feelings through the lyrics ( which she is reading) in the song, and is able to convey them with those unbelievably well controlled vocal cords that she has trained for years, 4-6 hours a day, every day, starting when she was 3 years old, for which she never gets any credit for her dedication and hard work!
Just another beautiful rection to Angelina -- thank you very much. Angelina is simply fascinating and mesmerizing. Check out Ivan at 9:06 (and thereafter...) 🙂
All the very best from Germany
I just love you two. You have Just moved into my top reactors. Between VoicePlay and AJ. I love the insight and excitement you project and the comedy too. I watch your reactions over and over again. Best TV out there.
Another great reaction to another great performance by our Angel sent to give us humans the most beautiful voice ever heard on earth!
This is one of my favorites from her. She is so good. Her guitarist deserves big applause too. He is brilliant.
She’s definitely channeling something through the ethers😌❣️
Watching Angelina's progress and growth has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. From the age of 7until forever her storytelling and emotional depth is always surprising. In my opinion, nobody covers Adele better than Angelina and usually she's better even than Adele herself (no small compliment). It defies logic. It is the picture of pure genius as far as I'm concerned. I've never heard a better singer. 😎
It is as though all of the greatest storytelling vocalist from the past are combined and embodied in this creature, AJ.
The emotional impact of music is a profound and universal experience. Angelina Jordan, with her unique voice and expressive delivery, has the ability to touch the hearts of listeners, evoking deep emotions that resonate with each performance. This connection through music is not uncommon; many legendary artists like John Gary, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, and Frank Sinatra have left indelible marks on their audiences, stirring emotions with their powerful performances. The fact that Angelina Jordan consistently evokes such a response speaks to her exceptional talent and the timeless power of music to move us, to bring tears of joy, sadness, or the overwhelming beauty of the moment. It's a testament to the shared human experience that transcends time and place, connecting us all through the universal language of music.
Just the first note from Angelina pulls us in & we have to listen to the end. Her voice is so captivating & so so beautiful. Thank you for your great reaction & for recognising her musical genius.
I was 54 when I stumbled on Angelina singing on Norways got talent , I couldn't believe what I was hearing ! Gloomy Sunday is my daughter's favorite song so I showed it to her ! She too was blown away by her beautiful voice , what was the first song you heard her sing ?
@@averteddisasterbarely2339 gloomy sunday
@@averteddisasterbarely2339 gloomy Sunday & I have lost count of how many times I have listened to it.
Did you guys see the viral video from about 3 weeks ago, Angelina was in London metro station, went up to the piano player that was busking, she took off her shoes and socks and broke out into Back to Black...it was amazing! I havent seen this video yet looking forward to it and your reactions in a few hours. From the thumbnail it looks like I may need tissues?
Her original song Shield live version at 12 yrs absolutely one of her best !!!
This is one of my favorites songs Angelina performed…it’s fantastic..really no words to describe it…Thanks a lot for the reaction to our angel Angelina..she’s simply the best..👍👏
She never ceases to amaze everyone! For an early original, consider Shield (from SVT/TV 2 on Skavlan's channel) or Million Miles (her official channel Live in Studio version), or both!
Early originals by AJ: What Is Life (her 1st original - 2018), Oslo (read that she wrote this song on her return trip home(Oslo) from L.A.- 2018), Shield (dedicated to her family and specifically her mother - 2018) , 7th Heaven (going back to her Jazz roots - 2020) & Million Miles (dedicated to her Japanese Grandfather who passed - 2020).
Oslo was recorded for her album "It's Magic" in Nov. 2017 when she was still 11, so it must have been written earlier.
Others mind blowing songs from Angelinia: " I'm Still holding out for You,...", she did at 10, and this one is out this world, thanks for a wonderful reaction
Great reaction guys you are absolutely right Angelina has always been fearless about taking on the greats in music
Thx.
Imagine having to keeping your cool while playing with her.
Thanks for your reaction again! You'll most likely see a lot of people recommend 'Shield' as one of AJ's originals, you will have to do the live version from the show 'Skavlan' along with the short interview before the performance, aged 12.
Thank you so much for the support and suggestions Eddie :)
A 12 year old and that rich tone is incredible ❤ The emotions she sings with is awesome ❤
Great reaction. A must watch and I believe her first recording at 6 or 7 in a studio. "I who have nothing" amazing control .
There is a person out there who's done research, which I consider realistic, that this was not her first studio experience. The other three (obviously young) appearances to likely to have been recorded earlier.
@@tomrogers1305 my impression from watching the four songs is that Skyfall seems to be the earliest... (not that it really matters )
Absolutely an angel sent from heaven
10🤩⚡️ the Magic year. Im Still Holding Out For You is the hallmark unreleased song she interpreted without an og singer. So its all her at 10. DO NOT MISS THIS.
And she is looking off to the side, as if reading some of the lyrics, while creating this level of performance.
she is
One of the first songs Angelina wrote was Oslo. Try that one for size. Love the reaction. ❤❤👣❤❤
Or try "What is Life" What is life ( small combo- practice version.) ua-cam.com/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/v-deo.html
What is Life from CD with Forsvarets Stabsmusikkorps (Norway’s Military Band) ua-cam.com/video/crngnoq0WLc/v-deo.html
agree Oslo is great
Make it three who agree that Oslo is well worth a listen.
"...and all I can do is watch and cry"
This 😍😭
Yep! Angelina blows you away every single time…….!
Thanks for a wonderful reaction! Angelina is a master of emotional and storytelling performances! And that vibrato is to dye for, so so beautiful!👌🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️
❤❤❤
When ever she is singing with Ivan she is 12 , he was her guitarist from the spring of when she was 12 til the fall of when she was 12.
You see, Anjelina is singer you'll could hear all day long just in estacting way.....Unbeliveble!!
She can make you cry with a lyric that she is reading from an i pad. She grabs the complete emotional depth of a song from hearing it ONCE, before she has even committed it to memory. Her empathic abilities are just way over the top. Million Miles is a good choice next.
Greatest singer ever!
Great reaction Richard and Johnny! Glad that you "get" Angelina's brilliance. No matter how many times I listen to her, same thing you mentioned - takes my breath away from the start of nearly every song.
As for originals, there are now 14 to choose from. All terrific. You already did Million Miles and Bad Valentine. Earliest?: What is Life (what 10 year old is thinking about that??), Oslo (about her hometown), Shield (her family protection). mid teen years: 7th Heaven. The 6 songs off her July 2023 EP Old Enough - ALL great, but
GOOD IN GOODBYES deserves a Grammy for songwriting, IMHO.
She wrote Our Time, which was released soon after the EP.
She also wrote the touching Princess of Ruins, performed so far only at her 2/29/24 concert in Vegas- it's not yet released.
My top 2 for you to do other than Good in Goodbyes: 7TH HEAVEN (pure JAZZ heaven). OUR TIME (ridiculously upbeat, danceable, will appeal to the young and young at heart - currently used extensively in a popular SoFi commercial and at their sports stadium in LA).
Agree with all you say Steve - but have they reacted to the best versions of Million Miles, the lives ones from her 2022 concerts in Norway...?
@@geoffreynorth9046 Hmmmm - I think it was one of the studio versions?
AJ has us and we won't let go.

More than that. Another Mozart. I’m an opera singer, she is a rare and precious gem we are lucky enough to listen to today.
She has been a master story teller through song since she did “Band Bang” and “Summertime” on NGT. Her pitch control, phrasing interpretation of music is beyond compare. I have attended her public US performances and she is better in person than on recordings. Glad they aren’t using auto tune on her.
Every video with guitarist Ivan is at age 12. This one still makes my eyes water even after 5 years of listening.
Your appreciation for the best female singer out there is greatly appreciated, this is what a Musical Prodigy sounds like, you guys are the BEST! FYI any thing she does with Ivan she is 12
LOVE your reactions 😂❤😂. Absolutely, NEVER am I not immersed into the emotion she drowns the lyrics with .. because at the end tears have welled over my eyes .. but then WAVES, SMILES and like an adorable little chirpy bird she almost sings "BYE"!!!
And I laugh at myself, "Gurl, you are OUT OF THIS WORLD" A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Peace!!!
When work is not work.
Angelina Jordan's dedication to her craft is a testament to the idea that passion fuels perseverance. Her journey reflects the ethos that when an artist truly loves their work, it transcends mere occupation and becomes a source of vitality and inspiration. This sentiment echoes in the hearts of many creatives who find their life's purpose in the art they produce, turning every note sung or stroke painted into a piece of their soul shared with the world. It's a beautiful cycle of creating and living, where the energy invested in art returns manifold, enriching the artist's life and touching the lives of others. Angelina's story is an inspiring reminder that hard work and love for one's art can harmonize to create something truly extraordinary.
Had to watch this reaction again...and you missed mentioning she's READING the lyrics AND produces this amazing interpretation... BRAVA!!!
This is so amazing 👍👍☮️❤️
12 year old original “Shield” was written by her as a tribute to her family and support team. Ask yourself what 12 year old writes this and then performs it like a voice straight from a James Bond movie? Mind blowing as usual for Angelina!
Thanks for the insightful reaction!
I can’t wait for your reaction my friends! I need something new 😊. I only watched your marathon reaction of AJ about 10 times now. The song you picked is a great song by Angelina but if you really want to be impressed listen to “I’m Still Holding out for You” covered when she was 10. I love AJ and I wouldn’t give you bad advice. You guys are great!
The guitarist is loving this.
The YEARNING in her voice! You can FEEL it! Even Ivan feels it! When Angelina sings, "I miss my mother," you can see the anguish Angelina has conveyed wrenching his heartstrings!! This one always brings tears! You should also react to The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, at age 10, I believe. Her musical intuition is staggering.
Well observed. Watching Ivan's face is revealing.
Some Angelina originals to consider:
Her first: “What is Life?”
Her first single released by Republic Records: “Million Miles”
Her first release on the EP “Old Enough”: “Love Don’t Let Me Go”
The most unusual release (for Angelina): “Our Time”
These are also roughly in chronological order.
Impresionante ¿cómo transmite emociones que no ha experimentado?. 😮
Angelina is on loan from Heaven!.
Hopefully forever!
Check out one of her earliest songs that she wrote. It's called What is life. The lines are unique for one so young. Great reaction guys.
❤️❤️❤️❤️👣 Spending a bit more here because I really want you to notice this suggestion. Watch Angelina's black and white video of her singing the Whitney Houston song I Have Nothing. I assure you that you still don't realize what you are dealing with when you reach your hand into Angelina's wonderful bag of goodies. Billie Jean and 7th Heaven and All I Ask would be my other suggestions. Thanks!, you guys really are great.
Thank you for the support and suggestions! We have SO much more to see of AJ and happy to explore these songs :)
And she is reading the song from her phone. !
12 years old here in 2018. She turned 13 in 2019.
It’s A Mans World, I Still Holding Out For You. A Portrait Of A Child. Love Don’t Let Me Go, Shield,a song she wrote about her mother.
Great review guys....whenever she is singing with Ivan Mendez, on guitar, she would be 12 years old. BTW, hope you noticed that she is also reading the Lyrics as she is singing (glancing at her tablet to her left). Has not quite learned the lyrics to this song, likely first take. At 12 she performs her original "Shield" on SVT/TV 2/Skavlan show live. Another original she wrote around 11-12 years old is "What Is Life" (acoustic version preferably) which was featured on her Album "It's Magic". These are two of her first original songs. Cheers.
Great comment Carl, but Angelina's first two original songs were What is Life & Oslo, both recorded on her album "It's Magic" when she was 11 yo. Shield was her third song recorded when she was 12.
@@keithserafy You are correct Keith, completely forgot "Oslo" (love that song), old age catching up...😁😁
@@CarlD70 It's already caught me!
First take of the recording and reading the lyrics - epic
Great reaction
Sung probably for the first or second time, sitting in a chair, following the lyrics off a screen?
She and Ivan would pick a song and do a take or two in her living room.
You may have come to learn that Angelina is absolutely fearless when it comes to covering other artists. She has covered the best of the best, past and present. She has achieved elite master level status and she’s still only eighteen years old. We are watching a very unique and rare level of talent, (whom is still blooming) become a global mega star
Theres a series of these new neuman condenser mics where the capsule inside falls in love with her proximity effect and we get to hear every single aspect of the emotional blade of a larynx she has. She carves emotions with the texture of her Frybrato and sustain. She really explores what her voice does. All these home videos and tiktok walking garage practice videos are bricks, investments into that voice. When she leaves this youth era and starts with hard times emotions of justice and angry lyrics her belting will be frightening. We still haven’t heard her full force belt. Bad Valentine has maybe half. I bet she could give Diana a run for power belting.
When Ivan Mendez was interviewed on the "Wrapped in a Warm Blanket" podcast, he said that when he did these songs with Angelina, if they did more than one take, it was usually because he messed up on guitar.
Her ability to express so much emotion in her voice.
It was good to share the joy of angelina with you all.
Gents, I really like to know what her Vocal Range is and I am a Layman not knowing what B3 or F1 is.
But I admire Miss Angelina.
Gents, be well.
