Jesse, I was long overdue requesting this performance, as it is way up my list of favorites by Angelina. I encourage my fellow angels to look through Jesse's playlist and request others which he has yet to make a reaction video for. I also encourage others to join Jesse's patreon for just a few dollars per month to support all his work and help finance his upcoming wedding.
Andy, as always your support is unwavering and inspirational 🙏 hard to believe we aren’t even half way through her master list 😂 looking forward to continuing the journey together!
An unbelievable performance from a nine-year old! Slip-sliding all over this beautiful song, enhancing it! Just … !! Love your commentary (especially your facial one) 🥰
is it possible that Angelina's voice is a 'fractal'? As in the more you look into it, or listen to it, the more details and nuances you discover. Just one "at La-aa-a-aast" overwhelms me... it's just so damm beautiful.
It's like Angelina was born knowing how she was supposed to sound. Then she quickly (age 8 or 9) figured out how to do it, and all the tools in her toolbelt became available to her. That she navigated the change in her vocal cords and body as she grew up, still using all these techniques, is amazing. Everything about Angelina is amazing, we know.
I wish one of Angelina's other performances of this same song would've been selected for a reaction. Here's a link to her performing this about a year earlier during a telethon raising money for children, and professionally filmed by TV2, Norway's version of public television. MUCH cleaner sound with only an acoustic guitar, a minimal drum beat, and a video providing an impressive backdrop. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-819bQ9I-T-g.html
One of the many things that has always surprised me about AJ is her confidence and naturalness when being on stage... it's like she herself once said that she would always like to be on stage singing... that's it! where she is happiest... and so are we... ¡¡¡¡
It was this same concert, whether it was after this song or another one, that she went to the front of the platform, got on her knees, took off her flower crown, reached across the aisle and gave it to one of the children in the audience. They went wild! So sweet!

Hi, Jesse... it's Pedro here, from Brazil. I think that in this song Angelina built a true “Run Catalog”, because there are runs throughout the song, all over the place, and each musical phrase is made up of very difficult runs with jumps of unexpected intervals between high and low notes, articulated in a complex melody that would be difficult for any professional singer. But, at 9 years old, Angelina can handle it, of course. Peace from Brazil 😊👣
It never ceases to amaze me (and millions more) what Angelina was and probably has always been able to do with her voice ! I'm 63 and have seen and heard my share of talent , just not at the level of her ! I found her the same year she was on Norway's got talent and couldn't believe the control she had at seven ! I listen to her singing every day since ! Great comment and have a good day from Seattle ! Go Angelina !!!
@@ВасилийЧапайский This is Hemnes Båt og Fjord Festival, Hemnesberget (near Mo i Rana, Norway) on June 28, 2015, so she is 9 years old. There is a post on her FB uploaded the same day, including a shot showing her getting off the plane at Mo i Rana's airport. It reads: "Just landed in northern Norway! Can't wait to enter the stage in few hours! See you at Hemnes boat and fjord festival!" Hemnesberget is only 25 miles away from that airport. Grandma said 2014 when she uploaded it 2020. But their age descriptions with the 2019/20 uploads sometimes proved inaccurate.
@@SDsailor7 Have you seen Angelina at 10? She's clearly no more than 9 here (she performed at Hemnes Båt og Fjord in 2015 and born in January 2006, she was 8 and 9 that year).
The birthday livestream was so much fun! Its always a treat to hang out with a group (a flock? a halo? a song? a blessing?) of angels. This is a great live performance! Her emotional connection is beyond understanding. Who knows how or why? She's Angelina Jordan . That's explanation enough.
A joy to watch and listen to at any age. We are so fortunate to have these early years memorialized as they are for late comers like myself to see what we missed and appreciate her all the more for the amazing talent, the amazing person, she is today.
Very early on, she was 'hooked' on Billie Holiday's unique style of vocalizing, for it was truly the most inventive, improvisational form of singing that ever graced the world of musicality. The phrasing technique, tonal changes, 'breathy' 'whisper-like' inflections are just a small part of Billie's presentations in the genre of jazz and Angelina has mastered them all. Any wonder that she stated 'if not for Billie, there would be no Angelina?'
This is one of my favorite Angelina performances, and it doesn’t get enough play. We all know her voice has gotten stronger when her age turned double-digits, but listen to this. Is there anyone who can’t see that she’s a jazz singer, even at 9 or whatever age she is here. I just love this because you can see her influence from Etta James, but there are her own touches here as well. It’s extemporaneous jazz, and we get what she’s feeling that day, and whatever she’s getting from the band behind her. And it will be different every other time she sings it.
To have this level of jazz skills at this age is stunning. She's just playing and slip sliding all over this song like she's been doing it for fifty years. So calm, never in a hurry. We are blessed to be alive in the age of Angelina.
Yes, you are so right about her jazz skills and Jesse as well about the jazz singer's toolbox - she takes so many tools from it that you can see the box' bottom.
One of my favorite parts of this performance is the way she lingers on the “L” in the very last “Last” in the song. And as always, thanks for sharing your observations. 🎼🎶🖤🎵
I have a vocal pitch monitor and it’s amazing how close, if not on, she is to hitting 444hz with every note she sings. Only the instruments hit the lines every time, as you know. She’s more consistent than any other singer I’ve checked, especially now that she’s matured. Diana and Putri are really good also but they don’t have Angelina’s uniqueness and total control of their vocal cords to change the sound of their voices as does the girl of a thousand voices.
Una de las cosas mas bellas y maravillosas que la casualidad me llevó a encontrar. Un prodigio, un alma vieja, un ser humano maravilloso que cuando la escucho cantar eleva mi alma y mis sentidos a un paraíso, Angelina Jordan el Angel Descalzo.....
Jesse, one of my favorites from young Angelina! On Mery's channel she has her at 8 yo doing 3 different rehearsals of this song and it's such a blast watching these rehearsals and seeing how she is obviously unhappy with the band but is able to tame them to how "she" wants things to go. I think these would be right down your alley
Man, you’re killin’ it. Such a pleasure to tune in to your reactions to AJ! Love your tech insights and your performance commentary. Keep ‘em comin’! :)
I've been watching your reactions for quite awhile now and think I have a pretty good idea of your tastes in music. One act that many Angelina Jordan reactors also frequently place at the top of their priorities is the vocal band #HomeFree. A search of your site turned up no reactions to their music yet, but you have reacted to a friend and colleague of theirs, Geoff Castalucci of #VoicePlay. They have a deep catalog, but among the more typical first reaction choices are Man of Constant Sorrow, Elvira (ft. Oak Ridge Boys), American Pie (ft. Don McLean), and the Butts Remix/Medley. While they also have many originals, these covers do a great job of introducing new listeners to the depth of sound from this acapella group and their versatility. Like Angelina and her Angels, Home Free's Home Fries are a loyal and enthusiastic fan base that help channels to grow in addition to the beautiful music the band offers.
The stars and planets aligned when Angelina Jordan was born. The journey of an artist can indeed be profoundly affected by their socioeconomic background. Angelina Jordan's financial stability has arguably given her the freedom to explore and express her creativity without the immediate pressure of financial survival. The most profound individual in AJ’s life, according to her, is her grandmother, Mery Zamani, artist/poet extraordinaire who’s knowledge, wealth and genius have tutored AJ, and cultivated her unbelievable talent. This is a luxury not afforded to all artists, and the music industry is replete with stories of immensely talented individuals who have faced immense pressure to succeed financially. This pressure can sometimes lead to a tragic struggle with substance abuse, as seen in the cases of Whitney Houston and Amy Winehouse. Their legacies serve as a stark reminder of the potential consequences of the immense pressures of fame and success in the music industry. It's a complex tapestry where talent, personal circumstances, and external pressures interweave to shape an artist's career and personal life. (CopyRight)
There are lots of vids of Angelina's At Last...performances, rehearsals and just jamming with Egil and a pianist when she was 8 is my absolute favourite...wrap ya listening gear around this one ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b-LhWfBrLrI.html
Hi. It's Mike from Calgary. Great job as usual. I sent my contact info to your LinkedIn acct. I'm going to AJ's las vegas show and wondered if you were too.
