In my 82 years, this is the most captivating young singer I have ever come across. The singing pulls you in to learn more and you find out that she is more than just a beautiful singer, she's also a beautiful person in every regard. And at that point you are hopelessly in love...even at 82.
"I will never let go of your hand because I want to hold on to it forever.!!!" - Miss. Angelina "Magical Vocalist & Song Writer" Jordan Thank U - Jennifer
I am 70 years old, i have seen and heard a lot of the greats. None of them could come anywhere near the emtions this young lady evokes from me, i cry (yes, i am not ashamed to admit it) every time i listen to her. Not only does she sing absolutely beautifully, she writes songs, arranges the songs, is Norways youngest author, raises millions of dollars for childrens charities, and she turned 16 this year and feeds homeless people in Los Angelos where she has moved to. This young lady is one SPECIAL human being.
NAwww what Beautiful sentiments. Thanks David Harris for your honest heartfelt words...I Totally agree with you. What a Beautiful humanbeing Angelina Jordan is. I often get emotional when listening to her vocal abilities too. I don't get tired of watching newbees experience listening to her for the first time. She is an Inspirational individual for sure. Thanks for Sharing. An Angiefan All the way from New Zealand.
Dave, I'm sixty eight and she does the same to me. You and I living in the sixties and seventies we're exposed to great singers, songwriters and bands, weather supergroups or one hit wonders our ears were well conditioned to real good music and performers. Angelina is very very special for many reasons but that fact that she touches at a spiritual level is what gets to me. I'm not a religious man but I can't help but think Angelina is a divine gift.
I'm 61yrs.. Born in 61..I'm a youngster compared to y'all.. I have to be alone when I listen to Angelina...stirs up emotions..an I mean reaches down.. jeezus...I prepare myself to listen to Angelina..eyes sweat...
Tell me, what 10 yr. old singer can not only perform this like she does but interpret it in this way. And we know that nobody had to tell her how to do this, she already knows how. Amazing talent and yes, a GENIUS!
Hi. This was a song she recorded about 5 years ago when Angelina was 10 years old., but it wasn't released because her mother didn't like Angelina singing about suicide. The song was then given out by Baby Fuzz instead. It luckily leaked out on youtube 3 years ago and so far nobody knows who leaked it. But still, this version of the song is without doubt a youtube treasure. I love this song, but then again I love everything about Angelina. She is a natural gift to mankind that will make the world a better place. I really feel that Angelina is exactly what the world needs right now. Peace everyone. Stay strong.
Hello, Jennifer... What a nice analysis... love it...!! About the cover, Actually it's quite the opposite: Buby Fuzz covered her (so to speak), because she was the first one to record this song (at the request of very Buzz), in this very beautiful demo she did at unbelieveble age of 10yo. The background arrangement is the composer's original one, but her performance is way better and intense than his one. BTW, I miss you reacting to and analysing more Angelina's songs....@@JenniferGlatzhofer
This one is a rare occasion when the "cover" was done before the "original". Angelina recorded this demo in 2016 (at 10 years old), but it was never formally released. A couple years later the writer of the song Brandon Lowry (Baby Fuzz) decided to record the song himself. This song had a lot of controversy around it for a while because it was leaked without her permission. Some of the fans said it should not be played or shared, others said it was too good not to. The controversy eventually fell away from it, but one thing is certain... this one is a fan favorite, and one of Angelina's best vocals. It's hard to imagine how someone so young could come up with all the flavoring on this. ...and that vocal run at 14:20 is one of my favorite runs ever, just try to count the notes... it's so many notes in such a short time. It reminds me of a lead guitar solo or something.
@@mikaeljohansson7848 That's what I read too. The fast part at the end is about going to the river to "hold it down" (head under water). The slow part at the end with the moon is "in heaven". Of course other interpretations can be made too, but this looks the most obvious.
Hello Jennifer. I'm 75 and it brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. Because this song is a one take! She had received the melody on tape and the lyrics on a piece of paper. Her mother never wanted Angelina to sing it from the start. Too dark! As far as I know, she heard the melody twice and read the text two or three times without really noticing it. And what you hear here is what came out of it. At the end she almost screams and it almost got the better of her. At the end she also said to her mother that she never wanted to sing this song again. I think she seems to have gotten over it lately and I would appreciate it if she included this song on her album.
I've seen this video about 5 times respect your skill and effort. There are some special circumstances surrounding the "Leaked" status of this song. The words were written by others, Angelina did the first cover then the one who wrote the song recorded it after. I guess they are both ok with every bit of it. I would think he should be proud of what Angelina did with it, its great.
i’m going to describe her as a musical prodigy, Sia ranges, her music, and she writes a music, and she sang some music with soul and jazz and R&B. She creates on genre of music that touches the soul of all that here’s her she believes, and she feels what she singing, and that skill makes you feel what deep in your soul because she’s an old person wrapped with in a young persons body. She is always love jazz, Billie Holiday, and many others. There are many clips that her mother shows of her singing as early as the age of one, and as she got older, her love, the music grew more and more and more. So again, the only words that I can use to describe her is a musical prodigy and that’s not to take away from any of the artists, but she has a gift that no one can duplicate or replicate. I listen to many of these people that review her music and they try to hit the notes and try to tell you where she’s coming from but they never touch it as she does. Her style cannot be practically replicated! That’s just my opinion.❤
I Totally agree.👌 Someone made a comment in replies .."it's like painting and using the Mona lisa as a canvas." Without the colourful words. Her Version is 👌flawless Perfection. AT 10Years of age 🤯 A Phenomenon Inspirational individual on SOoooo many levels.
She did say, when she took it offline, that she would never perform it again. So there's that. But I think, with some minor modifications to the lyrics and enhancement to the production, this should be a global smash.
This is ridiculously good; in fact, great and even more special considering Angelina was TEN yr old when she recorded this song. By the way, you see Angelina in the sand at the very end? That was Angelina at the same age as when she sang this song. 10.
I love this song by her ,I thought it was some of her best work ,I believe she was 10 when she recorded this ,, all most unbelievable .I enjoyed your reaction ,, thanks
Your reactions to AJ are great. I love them. You can articulate what I can't. I know that I'm hearing something very special, but you are able to explain it.
This song was sent to a Angelina as a demo. She was 10 years old and her mother thought that the lyrics were too much for a 10 year old. But somehow it got leaked, and in my opinion it is the greatest song Angelina ever sang.
Okay , she's got me crying again . This song might well Angelina's best ever. Certainly in the top ten . She sounds like she's about thirty years old , not ten . Simply miraculous.
This video and this song are among the most controversial aspects of Angelina's amazing myth. She was 10! Another entertaining and informative reaction and analysis. 😎
Thanks Mike for sharing. Everytime I listen to Angelina sing This song, I have to remind myself. SHES ONLY 10🤯. However, when you see her conquer Great songs covering Legends under the age (2) & at age (6 )sing professionally in a recording studio age (7 )Win Norways got Talent and continue on to sing at charity benefits ... continuously performing Cover songs such as This one" Still Holding out for you" and many iconic legendary artist... fast 4wd to age( 13) Achieving Her greatest Goal to sing before her idol Simon on A.G.T platform. Whew! Now (16) Continously just doing what she was born to do. SING AND SHARE FOR THE WORLD. What a journey This young girl has been on. I'm in for the ride. Just continue Mike to Enjoy The Angelina Rollercoaster ride. And Keep on sharing with others about this Amazing Inspirational Phenomenonal Artist.
This is a classic example of this very unique individual, when she does her covers, she pays homage to the original and then ads her own unique twists that make is so much better than it was originally performed.
Yes, but she was the first to sing this leaked song (I think it was in 2016), and altho’ what you said about her doing covers is absolutely true, this one was completely Angelina Jordan. :)
Thank you Jenn for a marvelous reaction and superb analysis of this vocal treasure by Angelina ! Absolutely one of my favs considering her age ! Her voice is a canvas painted with such a colourful vocal textured palette !Your breakdown and analysis were the best I have ever heard and I appreciate your commentary ! When I first listened to this song last year I didn't really appreciate all the vocal techniques that are so apparent ! I just thought it sounded great and that Angelina was able to sing this song with so much soul ! But the more I hear it the more I love this song ! It's like most of her videos in that I could listen to them all and never get enough ! Thanks Jenn as always for doing this reaction ,I loved it and have a great weekend ! 🤗👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️
To sing like this at 10 ... So many people hope she'll record this again, now, and release it. I honestly hope she leaves it the way it is if she wants to release it, because her voice had a very special timbre at this particular age that is gone now. It's so raw, and I absolutely love it.
Yes I've noticed too. There are features of her voice at 10 years old which seem no longer present, or which she chooses to no longer use, and which I sometimes miss.
I agree with you, @vikingballetnista7491, even if this is just a dream. And that's why I disagree with people (some reactors included) who say that, if we close our eyes during Angelina's earlier songs, we would think she was a singer over 50 years old. This doesn't happen, at all... because, even with all her mature technique, Angelina continues to have in her voice (at least until the age of 12) the sound characteristics of a child's voice.
There's so much soul in this track! Others have given the story of the song, so I'll just mention that I instantly fell in love with it the second I heard it. It's a well-written song with Angelina's quite miraculously emotional delivery elevating it to mega-hit quality. It's such a shame it was never released, but I support her family's decisions about her career during her youth. Just keep singing, Angelina! Great analysis, Jen. Your ability to highlight the nuances of a performance always informs and entertains.
Hello Jennifer.!!! Ms. Angelina Jordan just came out with a new Song Cover Called "Unchain Melody". Performed on December 11th. 2023 at the Nobel Peace Prize Award Ceremony - Music Concert... Must See - Jaw Dropper Everything Here - Not Kidding... Heads Up.!!! - Ms. Angelina Jordan is having a Birthday Too - On January 10th, 2024 - Ms. AJ is turning 18 years old this Time.!!! Please wish her a Happy B- Day when the time Arrives early next month... Thank U - Happy Ho;iday's Everyone - God Bless Us All - DD. @@JenniferGlatzhofer
Wonderful reaction, Jen. 10 years old is what I read. To add to the intrigue, I went to the BabyFuzz song three times now, and I swear I hear snippets of Angelina's voice embedded in that recording of the BabyFuzz release. Lots of electronic overlay, but I swear I hear his voice stop and hers is there. Has anyone else checked it out? I suspect, if her voice is really in there, that folks don't want too much poking going on, but I sure would like to know if I am correct in what I swear I hear. 💜
Jennifer, what a great reaction/analysis of this absolutely beautiful song by our 10 year old vocal artist. Really, one of the best I have ever watched with Angelina and particularly this song....so well done. Thank you for your time and comments with the Angel and this spectacular song.
Every time I listen to this, I imagine Angelina on a stage, and four clueless judges with their chairs turned backwards. But only until she gets to the word "shadow".
Happy Saturday, Jen! Oh my, you picked a marvel of a performance here! Sorry you don't get to "see" Angelina sing this time, but I can't wait for your reaction regardless. Ok - letting this run now... ✨😊 (a bit later) Ahhh - yes, yes, and yes! Angelina is a treasure for sure. Your observations and technical points are spot on (as always). Angelina recorded this when she was 10. (what can you say - but it's insane talent). I always love your videos - regardless if they are reactions or performances. But it's always such a treat when you react to Angelina! That's what brought me to your channel in the first place. 🥰 Be well, Jen! Have an awesome weekend! Hugs! xo
Jennifer, super reaction and analysis of this stunning song! Many reactors are appropriately so impressed by Angelina's performance here they don't really do an in-depth analysis. I have always loved this song. Your post gives me a new appreciation for her vocal intricacies of which I had no prior understanding. Thank you! Looking forward to more of your great work on Angelina.
I believe if this was released it would had been a big hit ❤️ It is just soo good 👍 mindblowing that she is 10 years old, and with all that soulful singing is so amazing ❤️ And That Run at the end.. wow ❤️
I believe, Angelina's covers of jazz standards during her preteen years, will stand the test of time as the best covers ever recorded. Her natural instincts for jazz together with her deep, rich tone at such a young age equals beauty beyond compare. Angelina as a humble young lady, along with her empathy, inspire many of us to make the world a better place. Jennifer, thank you for your sincere reaction, as it will likely introduce her to more people. Please consider providing links to the original video and UA-cam channel for each aspiring artist you feature. Each artist is deserving of all the love and support we can give. Encouraging your viewers to use those links will help boost the analytics while endearing you to the fans who will be more likely to subscribe to your channel.
You talked about the n, in front of i. I really like it, because when you hear it, it sounds like the abbreviation of "and". Thank you, as always for a brilliant reaction.
This is always a treat to have a voice coach react to this particular song. It is such a strong display of her voice and her talent. This song in particular is an instant classic and I can listen to it every day. Thank you so much for doing this. It is a joy to see others become overwhelmed by its beauty
Hi! Thank you for another very thoughtful analysis of an Angelina performance. Please ignore all comments why this wasn't released unless they are quite clear that neither Angelina, nor any member of her family, have commented upon this matter. Speculation as to why it was never released started shortly after this fan made video was released, and I have requested of those giving a "reason" to post the source for verification. Many of the 105 comments preceding this one have told you that Angelina was ten years of age when this was recorded. For reference, the little girl holding her hands to the moon is Angelina at that age. I am delighted that you treated the performance as if it was being sung by an adult and not a child. So many reactors cannot resist saying words like "she's so good for a child". In my estimation, she had lost all childishness in her voice by age ten. Your choice of the phrase "....and Angelina's just choosing..."is very pertinent. I have come to the realisation over the past nine years that nothing Angelina does is just a "fluke" . Her musicality is such that even if she does make an error, she can immediately change how she continues that one thinks what was an error was meant to be.
Those ear rings are awesome. So happy creative stuff is happening. Still the One is beautiful. I dislike being mundane, but, I love serious expressions of your face. Your eye brows have a show going on their own.
Great job Jennifer. I really enjoy both your technical descriptions of all the tools and vocal artistry/methods that Angelina is using as well as your delightful manner. You and Angelina are both gems!
Excellent reaction and I know by now you know she was 10, which her talent isn't matched by anyone at that age! I mean no one, Elvis, Michael Jackson, Christina Aguillar or Beyonce, she is doing only what her voice will let her. Her knowledge is so far ahead of her voice which is hard to fathom for her voice is way beyond her years. The brain has hard time comprehending the Phenomena before us performing at Iconic, legendary level at 10, God Bless!
I hope Angelina can obtain the song as hers as it really was a masterful performance. Not sure how that works but she did an amazing job with a great song.
It’s hard for me to imagine a seasoned song writer writing for the likes of Madonna and Lana Del Ray sending one of his demos to a ten year old you’ll notice LEAKED she actually was the first to release the song or “leaked “ 11/2018 Baby FuzZ (Brandon Lowry) released it 12/2018 , the point is even at the age of 10 Angelina was a well respected up and coming artist by the music industry it’s not like Brandon Lowry is a new song writer he’s been around a long time a very seasoned writer. Not many of well known singers accomplished what Angelina Jordan Astar has over 1 Billion views on UA-cam and 2 1/2 Billion views on Facebook and still only 16. When her parents finally give the go ahead to Republic Records she’s going to be a force in the industry.
This young lady is a vocal chameleon. Every time she brings tears in my eyes cause it is so beautiful. Angelina Jordan ASTAR (the name says it all), this young norwegian lady is imo the best singer on the planet! I am 69 y old and have never heard a singer like her in my whole life.
Me neither R Huse...Best artistic youth Vocalist in I say in the World. I'm 45yrs old & Totally agree with you. Such an Amazing inspirational young individual on SOoooo many different levels. She's simply a PHENOMENON.
Love all your channel, all your reactions and breakdowns of vocal techniques, for Angelina and others. I believe Angelina was 10 in this. Amazing. This one really shows her exploring all the techniques, tones, and shades available to her. Thanks for another fascinating reaction!
Loved your reaction Jennifer. You clearly have a good ear and a lot of knowledge of the voice. This video goes to my favourite reactions list. We're all in awe of Angelinas talent, how can you not! Hope to see more of your great analysis to AJ :)
This is one of Angelina’s best, I think, and that’s really saying something. She does so much with the colors and dynamics of her voice, but she does it so smoothly and naturally that we just get lost in the song. It’s hauntingly beautiful and sorrowful at the same time, and like always, Angelina delivers the message of the lyrics so effectively that we remember those sad moments in our own lives. Yeah, as you know by now, she was 10 for this recording. This was the age when I realized Angelina was not just the best child singer in history, but one of the best singers I’d ever heard. It took another year or two to remove any qualifiers-Angelina is the best singer I’ve heard in my 70+ years, and no one is close in second place.
Thank you for your analyses Jennifer. on point. I'm learning Sooooo much from yourself and many others on how the human voice can be used to add color to Any song you choose to sing. Thanks for taking the time to break her skillbase down in simple terms. Appreciated. AJ was only 10 years old when she vocalized the lyrics. The collaboration of various footage of AJ From ages 10-13 was put together over the years. Sources have it that the original song writer musician Baby Fuzz saw it ...liked AJ'S rein- edition of his song and was happy with it. It was leaked. When you close your eyes it still is unbelievable that a 10year old sang this song like a musical genius. SHE IS A LEGEND IN THE MAKING FOR SURE. And she is 16 now and her latest covers are PHENOMENAL.I'm no vocal coach...I know Great talent when I see and hear it. The way she projects herself is still at the tip of what is yet to come. Her stylistic approach to her phrasing of lyrics and techniques seem to be even more developing beautifully. I could only imagine what she will sound like when she is 20yrs old.
Say what you will, but you know as well as we do that there are untold numbers of seasoned adult vocalists that can only dream of achieving the level of vocal mastery that ten year old Angelina has. Angelina is of course a prodigy that also happens to be a bona fide musical genius. She has already accomplished more in her short sixteen years of age than most other vocalists will in their lifetimes.
So that you know an artist called Baby FuzZ took this leaked song which was made for Angelina and recorded it. Some musicians he was hanging out with in Oslo, Norway leaked it to him. I imagine there was a dispute over it and I am sure Angelina will end up with some credits for the song after the record labels work it out.
Every time I am listening to Angelina Jordan I can't help but feel like her voice is both too mature for her age and also belong in another era. Thank you for this analysis ❤️
Excellent surprise reaction! Is it possible to imagine that a 10-year-old child would use so much technique in a song? I've heard this performance dozens of times and I always remember Mozart, keeping the historical references and influence in his time, but not the clear impression of genius, which can bring a lot of joy to humanity.
Thanks for sharing Rogerio. Everytime I watch reaction videos of individuals viewing her for first time. I have to remind myself...SheOnly 10🤯 Impossible! I guess with AJ she's just saying...I'm possible.
At 56 I never followed anyone and star stuck is a silly ass thing, until 3 years ago & I still don't understand, but I feel! and today, I understand, I might not always understand. and I have great musical artist's in my family!
Jennifer I like to watch your actions on Angelina cause you never know what’s gonna come out of your mouth you always seem surprised I kind of get tickled I actually called her the thousand voices! 10yers old in this
@J.G.: It's always great listening to you deep dive into the details. Getting an education here. Thanks! Makes me (us) more fully appreciate how great A.J. really is.
To Jennifer Glatzhofer

Hi. This was a song she recorded about 5 years ago when Angelina was 10 years old., but it wasn't released because her mother didn't like Angelina singing about suicide.

Thank you
Hello, Jennifer... What a nice analysis... love it...!! About the cover, Actually it's quite the opposite: Buby Fuzz covered her (so to speak), because she was the first one to record this song (at the request of very Buzz), in this very beautiful demo she did at unbelieveble age of 10yo. The background arrangement is the composer's original one, but her performance is way better and intense than his one.
BTW, I miss you reacting to and analysing more Angelina's songs....@@JenniferGlatzhofer
No one can touch that, except maybe herself. Amazing reaction. Yeah, & she was....... hold your breath........ ten. Beat that !
AJ was 10yrs old when she sung this song, that's why it was banned by her parents because of the content !! It's one of her best!
This one is a rare occasion when the "cover" was done before the "original". Angelina recorded this demo in 2016 (at 10 years old), but it was never formally released.

Thanks for the clarification, Rusty, I have read a lot of different versions about this issue.
Thanks for the back story. I've heard almost every one of her songs and this is one of my favorites, at ANY age.
The family didnt want it to be played tho the song is about suicide. Maby i mix it up with another song or if i missunderstod a roumor.
@@mikaeljohansson7848 That's what I read too. The fast part at the end is about going to the river to "hold it down" (head under water). The slow part at the end with the moon is "in heaven". Of course other interpretations can be made too, but this looks the most obvious.
This is my favorite so far. Absolutely love this song (as sung by Angelina). Gives me chills. And at 10 no less - unbelievable.

This is a ten year old singing this song, how amazingly talented and beautiful this wonderful young lady is.

Crazy vocals, perhaps her best song in which she sung at age 10. Nice analysis you help us understand why she is a prodigy
Thank you!
i’m going to describe her as a musical prodigy, Sia ranges, her music, and she writes a music, and she sang some music with soul and jazz and R&B. She creates on genre of music that touches the soul of all that here’s her she believes, and she feels what she singing, and that skill makes you feel what deep in your soul because she’s an old person wrapped with in a young persons body.

it's my wish that in her next album Angelina will license this song and release this version AS IS. no need to redo. it's perfect as its is.
this cover song by Angelina is easily one of my favorites.... absolutely love it! ♪♫♪
Yes absolutely!
I Totally agree.👌 Someone made a comment in replies .."it's like painting and using the Mona lisa as a canvas." Without the colourful words. Her Version is 👌flawless Perfection. AT 10Years of age 🤯 A Phenomenon Inspirational individual on SOoooo many levels.

AJ released on TikTok this morning a new version of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and it's wonderful!
Ooh!!
This is ridiculously good; in fact, great and even more special considering Angelina was TEN yr old when she recorded this song. By the way, you see Angelina in the sand at the very end? That was Angelina at the same age as when she sang this song. 10.

This video and this song are among the most controversial aspects of Angelina's amazing myth. She was 10!
Another entertaining and informative reaction and analysis. 😎
Thank you!
Thanks Mike for sharing. Everytime I listen to Angelina sing This song, I have to remind myself. SHES ONLY 10🤯. However, when you see her conquer Great songs covering Legends under the age (2) & at age (6 )sing professionally in a recording studio age (7 )Win Norways got Talent and continue on to sing at charity benefits ... continuously performing Cover songs such as This one" Still Holding out for you" and many iconic legendary artist... fast 4wd to age( 13) Achieving Her greatest Goal to sing before her idol Simon on A.G.T platform. Whew! Now (16) Continously just doing what she was born to do. SING AND SHARE FOR THE WORLD. What a journey This young girl has been on. I'm in for the ride. Just continue Mike to Enjoy The Angelina Rollercoaster ride. And Keep on sharing with others about this Amazing Inspirational Phenomenonal Artist.
This is a classic example of this very unique individual, when she does her covers, she pays homage to the original and then ads her own unique twists that make is so much better than it was originally performed.
Yes, but she was the first to sing this leaked song (I think it was in 2016), and altho’ what you said about her doing covers is absolutely true, this one was completely Angelina Jordan. :)
10 years old. Wow
I absolutely love your analysis of every Angelina Jordan song.
Just simply amazing that this video-audio was sung by a ten year old! Just shouldn't be possible!
Also greatly enjoy how knowledgeable you are in analyzing this vocal and all of Angelina's. ❤🙀😽🤍
ANGELINA....👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you Jenn for a marvelous reaction and superb analysis of this vocal treasure by Angelina ! Absolutely one of my favs considering her age ! Her voice is a canvas painted with such a colourful vocal textured palette !Your breakdown and analysis were the best I have ever heard and I appreciate your commentary ! When I first listened to this song last year I didn't really appreciate all the vocal techniques that are so apparent ! I just thought it sounded great and that Angelina was able to sing this song with so much soul ! But the more I hear it the more I love this song ! It's like most of her videos in that I could listen to them all and never get enough ! Thanks Jenn as always for doing this reaction ,I loved it and have a great weekend ! 🤗👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️
Ah thank you!!
To sing like this at 10 ... So many people hope she'll record this again, now, and release it. I honestly hope she leaves it the way it is if she wants to release it, because her voice had a very special timbre at this particular age that is gone now. It's so raw, and I absolutely love it.
Yes I've noticed too. There are features of her voice at 10 years old which seem no longer present, or which she chooses to no longer use, and which I sometimes miss.
I agree with you, @vikingballetnista7491, even if this is just a dream.
And that's why I disagree with people (some reactors included) who say that, if we close our eyes during Angelina's earlier songs, we would think she was a singer over 50 years old. This doesn't happen, at all... because, even with all her mature technique, Angelina continues to have in her voice (at least until the age of 12) the sound characteristics of a child's voice.
I TOTALLY agree that she should record THIS version of the song for ALL of the stated reasons
There's so much soul in this track! Others have given the story of the song, so I'll just mention that I instantly fell in love with it the second I heard it. It's a well-written song with Angelina's quite miraculously emotional delivery elevating it to mega-hit quality. It's such a shame it was never released, but I support her family's decisions about her career during her youth. Just keep singing, Angelina! Great analysis, Jen. Your ability to highlight the nuances of a performance always informs and entertains.
Thank you 😊

10 years old here
Wonderful reaction, Jen. 10 years old is what I read. To add to the intrigue, I went to the BabyFuzz song three times now, and I swear I hear snippets of Angelina's voice embedded in that recording of the BabyFuzz release. Lots of electronic overlay, but I swear I hear his voice stop and hers is there. Has anyone else checked it out? I suspect, if her voice is really in there, that folks don't want too much poking going on, but I sure would like to know if I am correct in what I swear I hear. 💜
Jennifer, what a great reaction/analysis of this absolutely beautiful song by our 10 year old vocal artist. Really, one of the best I have ever watched with Angelina and particularly this song....so well done. Thank you for your time and comments with the Angel and this spectacular song.
Her breathtaking vocals and harmonious melodies pulled at my heartstrings.♥️ Angelina is really a musical genius.
Every time I listen to this, I imagine Angelina on a stage, and four clueless judges with their chairs turned backwards. But only until she gets to the word "shadow".
Happy Saturday, Jen! Oh my, you picked a marvel of a performance here! Sorry you don't get to "see" Angelina sing this time, but I can't wait for your reaction regardless. Ok - letting this run now... ✨😊 (a bit later) Ahhh - yes, yes, and yes! Angelina is a treasure for sure. Your observations and technical points are spot on (as always). Angelina recorded this when she was 10. (what can you say - but it's insane talent). I always love your videos - regardless if they are reactions or performances. But it's always such a treat when you react to Angelina! That's what brought me to your channel in the first place. 🥰 Be well, Jen! Have an awesome weekend! Hugs! xo
Jennifer, super reaction and analysis of this stunning song! Many reactors are appropriately so impressed by Angelina's performance here they don't really do an in-depth analysis. I have always loved this song. Your post gives me a new appreciation for her vocal intricacies of which I had no prior understanding. Thank you! Looking forward to more of your great work on Angelina.
Thank you!! 😁
I believe if this was released it would had been a big hit ❤️ It is just soo good 👍 mindblowing that she is 10 years old, and with all that soulful singing is so amazing ❤️ And That Run at the end.. wow ❤️
Thanks!
😊
I believe, Angelina's covers of jazz standards during her preteen years, will stand the test of time as the best covers ever recorded. Her natural instincts for jazz together with her deep, rich tone at such a young age equals beauty beyond compare.
Angelina as a humble young lady, along with her empathy, inspire many of us to make the world a better place. Jennifer, thank you for your sincere reaction, as it will likely introduce her to more people. Please consider providing links to the original video and UA-cam channel for each aspiring artist you feature. Each artist is deserving of all the love and support we can give. Encouraging your viewers to use those links will help boost the analytics while endearing you to the fans who will be more likely to subscribe to your channel.
You talked about the n, in front of i. I really like it, because when you hear it, it sounds like the abbreviation of "and". Thank you, as always for a brilliant reaction.
10 years old WOW 🤩
A MIND BLOWING WOW, Sir
This is always a treat to have a voice coach react to this particular song. It is such a strong display of her voice and her talent. This song in particular is an instant classic and I can listen to it every day. Thank you so much for doing this. It is a joy to see others become overwhelmed by its beauty
10 yrs old, amazing
10yrs old !! 😲😲....mind boggling 😘 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧
Hi! Thank you for another very thoughtful analysis of an Angelina performance. Please ignore all comments why this wasn't released unless they are quite clear that neither Angelina, nor any member of her family, have commented upon this matter. Speculation as to why it was never released started shortly after this fan made video was released, and I have requested of those giving a "reason" to post the source for verification.
Many of the 105 comments preceding this one have told you that Angelina was ten years of age when this was recorded. For reference, the little girl holding her hands to the moon is Angelina at that age.
I am delighted that you treated the performance as if it was being sung by an adult and not a child. So many reactors cannot resist saying words like "she's so good for a child". In my estimation, she had lost all childishness in her voice by age ten.
Your choice of the phrase "....and Angelina's just choosing..."is very pertinent. I have come to the realisation over the past nine years that nothing Angelina does is just a "fluke" . Her musicality is such that even if she does make an error, she can immediately change how she continues that one thinks what was an error was meant to be.
parts of the song show her at an older age, this video was put together by one of her fans. She was ten when she did this song.
Lovely reaction, Jennifer. Ten years old; almost 11. It’s absolutely stunning.
Stunning voice Beautiful
Loved this reaction!!
Thank you 😁
Those ear rings are awesome. So happy creative stuff is happening. Still the One is beautiful. I dislike being mundane, but, I love serious expressions of your face. Your eye brows have a show going on their own.
The best young female versatile vocalist we have today, in my opinion!
Great job Jennifer. I really enjoy both your technical descriptions of all the tools and vocal artistry/methods that Angelina is using as well as your delightful manner. You and Angelina are both gems!
Thank you! 😁
Excellent reaction and I know by now you know she was 10, which her talent isn't matched by anyone at that age! I mean no one, Elvis, Michael Jackson, Christina Aguillar or Beyonce, she is doing only what her voice will let her. Her knowledge is so far ahead of her voice which is hard to fathom for her voice is way beyond her years. The brain has hard time comprehending the Phenomena before us performing at Iconic, legendary level at 10, God Bless!
Love to see someone go over this cover, imo this is the most fabulous performance she has ever done, and with AJ that is saying a lot.^^
I hope Angelina can obtain the song as hers as it really was a masterful performance. Not sure how that works but she did an amazing job with a great song.
It’s hard for me to imagine a seasoned song writer writing for the likes of Madonna and Lana Del Ray sending one of his demos to a ten year old you’ll notice LEAKED she actually was the first to release the song or “leaked “ 11/2018 Baby FuzZ (Brandon Lowry) released it 12/2018 , the point is even at the age of 10 Angelina was a well respected up and coming artist by the music industry it’s not like Brandon Lowry is a new song writer he’s been around a long time a very seasoned writer. Not many of well known singers accomplished what Angelina Jordan Astar has over 1 Billion views on UA-cam and 2 1/2 Billion views on Facebook and still only 16. When her parents finally give the go ahead to Republic Records she’s going to be a force in the industry.
YES 10 10 10 10 10 YEARS OLD!
This young lady is a vocal chameleon. Every time she brings tears in my eyes cause it is so beautiful. Angelina Jordan ASTAR (the name says it all), this young norwegian lady is imo the best singer on the planet! I am 69 y old and have never heard a singer like her in my whole life.
Me neither R Huse...Best artistic youth Vocalist in I say in the World. I'm 45yrs old & Totally agree with you. Such an Amazing inspirational young individual on SOoooo many different levels. She's simply a PHENOMENON.
Love all your channel, all your reactions and breakdowns of vocal techniques, for Angelina and others. I believe Angelina was 10 in this. Amazing. This one really shows her exploring all the techniques, tones, and shades available to her. Thanks for another fascinating reaction!
Thank you 😁
GENIUS!!!!!!!
Me gustan las reacciones de Jenny, son muy profesionales, completas y muy entretenidas.
My absolute favorite by Angelina; so glad you got around to this🌹🌺🌸🌻💐✨💖
Loved your reaction Jennifer. You clearly have a good ear and a lot of knowledge of the voice. This video goes to my favourite reactions list. We're all in awe of Angelinas talent, how can you not! Hope to see more of your great analysis to AJ :)
Thank you! So great 😊
Angelina is the new VOICE of this time. Greetings from germany. Time is. May, 2022. Thanks for all !
Hi Jennifer hope you are having an great and awesome weekend 😀
Thank you for your very interesting analysis 👍 she sings so versatile in every Song 🥰🙏
Thank you! She really does 😊
Your analysis of Angie's style is in detail love your reaction thanks jennifer
NEWS! NEWS! NEWS! Angelina just dropped an updated version of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. It's next level! 😊👍👍😊
This is one of Angelina’s best, I think, and that’s really saying something. She does so much with the colors and dynamics of her voice, but she does it so smoothly and naturally that we just get lost in the song. It’s hauntingly beautiful and sorrowful at the same time, and like always, Angelina delivers the message of the lyrics so effectively that we remember those sad moments in our own lives.
Yeah, as you know by now, she was 10 for this recording. This was the age when I realized Angelina was not just the best child singer in history, but one of the best singers I’d ever heard. It took another year or two to remove any qualifiers-Angelina is the best singer I’ve heard in my 70+ years, and no one is close in second place.
Wow, you're old like me!!
Thank you for your analyses Jennifer. on point. I'm learning Sooooo much from yourself and many others on how the human voice can be used to add color to Any song you choose to sing. Thanks for taking the time to break her skillbase down in simple terms. Appreciated. AJ was only 10 years old when she vocalized the lyrics. The collaboration of various footage of AJ From ages 10-13 was put together over the years. Sources have it that the original song writer musician Baby Fuzz saw it ...liked AJ'S rein- edition of his song and was happy with it. It was leaked. When you close your eyes it still is unbelievable that a 10year old sang this song like a musical genius. SHE IS A LEGEND IN THE MAKING FOR SURE. And she is 16 now and her latest covers are PHENOMENAL.I'm no vocal coach...I know Great talent when I see and hear it. The way she projects herself is still at the tip of what is yet to come. Her stylistic approach to her phrasing of lyrics and techniques seem to be even more developing beautifully. I could only imagine what she will sound like when she is 20yrs old.
Say what you will, but you know as well as we do that there are untold numbers of seasoned adult vocalists that can only dream of achieving the level of vocal mastery that ten year old Angelina has. Angelina is of course a prodigy that also happens to be a bona fide musical genius. She has already accomplished more in her short sixteen years of age than most other vocalists will in their lifetimes.
You do know she's 10 years old in this cover. She's amazing.
Thank you, Jan for a good analysis from USA to Downunder
Second time watching this reaction, because I love this song, and you do a great job with the analysis!
She was 10 years old in this video.2016.
10 years old! TEN! Amazing!
So that you know an artist called Baby FuzZ took this leaked song which was made for Angelina and recorded it. Some musicians he was hanging out with in Oslo, Norway leaked it to him. I imagine there was a dispute over it and I am sure Angelina will end up with some credits for the song after the record labels work it out.
thanks for coming back to Angelina. love your reactions , this is one of my favorites of hers!
Every time I am listening to Angelina Jordan I can't help but feel like her voice is both too mature for her age and also belong in another era. Thank you for this analysis ❤️
Excellent surprise reaction! Is it possible to imagine that a 10-year-old child would use so much technique in a song? I've heard this performance dozens of times and I always remember Mozart, keeping the historical references and influence in his time, but not the clear impression of genius, which can bring a lot of joy to humanity.
I think Mozart is a fitting reference for Angelina's talent. Its very hard to grasp, and so wonderful :)
Thanks for sharing Rogerio. Everytime I watch reaction videos of individuals viewing her for first time. I have to remind myself...SheOnly 10🤯 Impossible! I guess with AJ she's just saying...I'm possible.
Angelina 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
She was about 10 years, 11 months and 3 weeks old at recording ....
Great reaction and analysis, thanks a lot! Cheers!
10 years old. Enough said about genius. Great reaction. Really love your explanations.
At 56 I never followed anyone and star stuck is a silly ass thing, until 3 years ago & I still don't understand, but I feel! and today, I understand, I might not always understand. and I have great musical artist's in my family!
Jennifer I like to watch your actions on Angelina cause you never know what’s gonna come out of your mouth you always seem surprised I kind of get tickled I actually called her the thousand voices!
10yers old in this
I love your technical analysis.
It helps me appreciate Angelina's superhuman talent.
One thing to keep in mind, is Angelina is going for that Jazzy/Blues sound. Raspy-slurring..twang.
@J.G.: It's always great listening to you deep dive into the details. Getting an education here. Thanks! Makes me (us) more fully appreciate how great A.J. really is.
Thank you 😊
Rare talent and skill for a 10yr old and another entry a growing mythos
Thanks for your review and analysis
