Angelina Jordan - A Million Years Ago - REACTION!!!!!! 

👍 simple, sweet and to the point 👍

Word

Me, too. I'm 60 and I've known about her 2 yrs now. She can soothe my soul, ease my anxiety, or pull--HARD--at my heartstrings. I'm sure her pure goodness and love for humanity has much to do with this ability of hers. She truly is the best.

Peace and love to you from Bavaria! What an experience... RIP ❤

Beautiful comment. Sorry for your pain but Angelina has you reflecting and gives such hope for the future. I understand well the words you wrote and expressed so well. Thanks

God bless and love from England 🙏

Sorry for your loss and prayers to you . Angelina's music gives us another avenue to feel and express what we need to do in order to grieve and heal. Her music has gotten me through a number of events and no other singer can do what she does for me and many of us. God Bless.

I also have played her songs before and after the loss of my husband from cancer and her singing just so emotional and I listen to her and it’s healing and I feel better and I usually have a good cry and I don’t know how she gets to your soul like no other can Love from Oz

“Most often it hurts”..author. Me.

I don't know ridge. I suppose I can say you can generally feel the average Jazz singer, more than the average anything else singer. But AJ is one of a kind, I feel probably well over half of what I've seen from her. I feel other artists sometimes, plenty of them not Jazz singers. I think there is merit to what you say for sure, but to a degree. Some of it is something else in her as well. Has to be. There is an over arching storytelling ability that maybe lends itself to jazz, but is entirely separate, and she truly has that ability. She feels it, so so do we. That's the simplest way I can describe storytelling. He mentioned that you just fall more in love with her the more you see. I think a lot of it is versatility, takes a while to soak in the gigantic skill set she has. I think a lot of it is storytelling, that's always important in arts of any kind. There is just a gigantic journey that is so beautiful to be on, easy to cheer for her. I think a ton of it is control, to have that much control over the large amount she can do, so consistently is crazy. Her beautiful tone is huge for her. Some of it, the massive skill set is Jazz, and she brings a bit of it into her not so Jazzy stuff as well. But I think while you weren't wrong as a general rule to a degree, while Jazz lends itself to what you spoke of, all of what you are saying should be attributed to AJ, not Jazz. Adele makes people feel just fine, there have been many Jazz singers in music history. The most important thing for feeling what an artist is doing, is indeed falling in love with them. Then they truly have your attention. AJ has a load of weapons for that, Jazz is only one of them.

@@ryanjacob3338 She has said that if not for Billie Holiday she would not be the singer she is. Her ability to bring into heartfelt ballads the 'breathy; 'whisper-like' inflections that Billie revolutionized the jazz genre with, is the main component when she wants to bring forth deep feelings to the song. Take a song like 'Stay'. Whereas Rhianna's original is a polished, professionally designed presentation, Angelina out performs it in a home made video where not even Ivan knew was going to be their song that day until he arrived at her home. Nothing fancy by Angelina, but the essence of Billie Holiday is quite evident in her presentation. People need to listen to Andreas Grussl's expert vocal analysis of both Adele and Angelina singing 'Easy On Me' in his video, 'Is This Better Than Adele?'. He clearly shows the listener how Angelina's version is superior with regard to penetration into the human soul. Vocally, there are sections where Angelina's 'vocal chameleon' ability to emulate Adele's voice is evident, but then when you hear her using Billie's 'breathy', 'whisper-like' responses and add in the unique 'slurring' effect that Amy Winehouse was known for, you have one song that is totally non-jazz Adele and the other a conglomeration that contains the intricate complexity of three jazz artists and one great non-jazz artist in the song. In the power portion of the song, Angelina actually 'out belts' Adele, which is beyond amazing. Angelina has compartmentalized a vast inventory of different genre artists in her memory that she can bring forth whenever she desires, but at the heart of it all is her jazz inspired roots that never 'moved' me emotionally by any singer other than Billie Holiday. Both her and Angelina can just transport me to a serene place in my mind like no other singers I have ever experienced.

@@ridgemanron I can't disagree with any of that. But I think they are both artists first and foremost, Billie and her. It takes a special person to take breathy tones, ups and down, runs, and use them so much and still have it come out as art. While you see that in Jazz a lot, I think it is more about those two individuals. The only other one who can do that is Mariah Carey but maybe I've never enjoyed the higher keys near as much with those. Maybe using the lower keys is the secret with those, once you have someone with the artistic ability to make those techniques and choices into art. Because for sure, Billie hits me too, no where near the voice tone, vocal versatility or power of an AJ. But all the same, a breath of fresh air, unique real art is how I take her stuff. I'm just saying I think jazz lends itself to those skills, to hitting our feels, but it's still the artist that has to figure out how to use the hardest skills to use well artistically. Jazz is tough. It's usually a hot mess.

And from what I have seen, Jazz doesn't teach everyone all that well, only the artistically gifted. Many Jazz artists no one has ever heard of, a lot of it is hard to listen to. Too complex to be done mediocrely, boring despite its complexity when done mediocrely, off putting even. So I don't know, I am not trying to imply you think Jazz made AJ, but it was worded in a way I wanted to talk about it. In a sense you are correct, Jazz helped a lot, but it needs artists like AJ, without her Jazz is in the trash bin. A symbiotic relationship of sorts that few can tap into. IMO at least.

@@ryanjacob3338 In essence, Angelina is simply a 'one off' because of both her unmatched genre versatility as well as her amazing low register ability which is so amazing in the gospel song she did 'How Great Thou Art'. Have never heard another female, much less a child, who could do something like that. Like you, I've never been drawn to the insane high register notes that Mariah is known for, but another diva who is close to that level is Christina Aguilera and I was astounded when I heard Angelina match her in selected portions of the song 'Hurt' at six years of age. What Angelina displays in difficult songs like Whitney's 'I Have Nothing' and the classic James Brown song 'It's a Man's World' are both in the high register levels that my ears are more in tune to than Mariah's colossal level of hitting stratospheric notes. We have to also keep in mind that experts say Angelina has not reached her apex in musicality and won't until she becomes an adult which is mind boggling when you realize where she is at while still being a young girl. It could be said that Billie first, and then Amy, have redefined the jazz genre. To me, Angelina has redefined the intricacies of the genre once again, using elements of both these iconic jazz specialists that are especially incorporated by her in heartfelt ballad singing. When a singer can send tingles through me, like Angelina can, I find it almost medicinal with regard to the effect it brings to me.

Try it you too😄
