"Holy sh*t! That was incredible. Like, that was ridiculous." Yep, you definitely hit the nail on the head right there, Ashlena. Great reaction. Thanks. 👼
Angelina in a lane on her own. Thanks to Toby for giving her the opportunity with "If I Were A Boy" , I'm sure all fans of AJ appreciate Toby as well. But this song is on another level. This should be the one to launch her career to new height worldwide. Something tells me that her family were strict with the marketing because they weren't ready for Angelina to blow up. I hope they are ready with this and they market it the right way. If it's not this, I believe Angelina will come up with a song even better than this. She's just the best.......That voice and so effortless.....that's the difference from other singers. For her it's effortless, it just pours out... Thanks Ashlena for a wonderful reaction
Imo all those legends you hear in her Voice they were her mentors, starting with the one & only Billy Holiday.Angelina is music. Thank you for your reaction
😊😊😊😊"Bad Valentine" The newest song from Angelina is the rawest and most amazing song I've ever heard. We know that Angelina is a super mega vocalist, but this was so good and powerful that it can't actually be described in words.😊😊👍👍
Bad Valentine The collaboration between Angelina Jordan and Toby Gad on the song "Bad Valentine" marks a significant milestone in both artists' careers. Their performance at the Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles was not just a display of Jordan's mesmerizing vocal prowess, but also a testament to AJ's, and Gad's exceptional songwriting skills. The audience at the intimate venue witnessed a captivating blend of Jordan's soulful tones and Gad's melodic craftsmanship. This partnership has undoubtedly set a new bar for musical innovation and emotional expression in the industry. The song's live rendition, which can be found online, and edited by James Thiel, showcases the young artist's versatility as a song writer and Gad's ability to create a soundscape that perfectly complements Jordan's unique voice.
The girl with a thousand voices gives us another one. I’ve listened to Angelina for five or six years, and I never heard this voice. The weight and depth of her voice when she leans into those notes is amazing. She’s a jazz singer at heart, and we rarely see her let it go like this. Great song, great lyrics, great music.
There just doesn't seem to be a style of music that she can't adapt to and excel at. I once watched a reaction to Floor Jansen. If I have the name right, she was the vocalist with Nightwish, I believe, and I thought to myself that Angelina could sing those songs if she had a little time to adapt. I also thought the opposite was entirely possible as well. I even thought that given time to practice and learn that Angelina could be at least a workman level opera singer if she wanted to. To me, she reaches deeply into my emotions with her voice, any of them. She just seems able to sing anything from the most subtle to the most powerful and grandiose. Then, there is the kind of human being she is. Kindhearted, charitable, fearless, and humble are the virtues that she seems to embody. I just love this young lady. ❤️❤️❤️❤️👣
Ashlena, The stars aligned when these two vibrant prodigies met, to create a newness in lyricism and melodies, that is a throwback to the authentic music of the legends of the past.♾Rb
What? You need to cool down? Well, dear girl, you’re not gonna do it with this.! Angelina is ready to explode ! I can tell by your reaction you agree. 😇🌸
Ashlena, you have joined the unanimous chorus of Angelina's angels who believe this song is a hit. We can't wait for the official release. Angelina has hinted new originals will be released in September. Angelina will be singing a song in the new Netflix movie "A Family Affair" debuting on Friday June 28th. I am asking everyone who enjoys Angelina's music to be sure they are subscribed to her Official RU-vid channel. There are many who, for whatever reason, have never subscribed to any channel. Subscribing is FREE and it truly helps the channel. Angelina has always reminded us to be kind to others, so follow her lead and subscribe to each channel you enjoy, including your favorite reaction channels.
I hope they keep the cello in the mix when they release this. It rides underneath and complements her tone so well. There are a few other songs that have used a cello, including the studio version of million miles and the cathedral version of I'm just a boy. I just love it. This was absolute fire.
Holy SH*T that is the best reaction I have heard to this STUNNING performance, there are no other words other than World NOW listen to the Best in the Universe.
Take a look at Toby's online and it will shock you to see what an amazing song writer. He has written for songs for some of the great singers Lionel Ritchie, Bionsay(sp)
Thank you and i totally agree with you. Many artists blow up big when promoted and are well marketed but fade away shortly after. Angelina on several occasions said that she wants to creat timeless music and that is what she's doing. From being inspired by Billie Holliday, to channelling Screamin' Jay Hawkins in I Put a Spell on You, to reinventig Bohemian Rhapsody, to performing an incredible live version of Bad Valentine, Angelina is fulfilling her mission of creating timeless music. We are extremely lucky to accompany her on this journey. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Just 18. Yet, your pointing out these three songs could extend to dozens more. Angelinas love for music comes through in every performance. She is going to continue God willing, to blow through barriers effortlessly.
This song definitely has hit potential. It all comes down to promotion which realistically there has been little to none for her music to this point. It is also very difficult to break into the charts so we’ll see what the plans are to get her exposure. FYI, one of Angelina’s songs will appear in the new Netflix movie A Family Affair that premieres June 28. It stars Nicole Kidman, Zac Efron and Kathy Bates. No official word on which song it will be but there is speculation that it may be Love Don’t Let Me Go as in an Instagram story she posted announcing this, it’s playing in the background.
Even with the promotion I mention, it’s still not a guarantee that the song or Angelina will break out at this time, no matter how great she or the song are. There are over 100,000 new sings released every day on the streaming services. Who knows how many amazing songs there are that will never see the light of day just because of the numbers. The industry is so competitive and sometimes it seems that that there is no real rhyme or reason as to who makes it big and who doesn’t. I’m sure we all feel there are artists that have amazing popularity that don’t really deserve it based on their “talent” while there are others that should be world stars but nobody knows about them.
A soulful epiphany! Angelina Jordan's ability to transform each lyric into a profound emotional experience is a testament to her exceptional musical talent. Her intuitive understanding of melody and phrasing allows her to convey deep emotions, making each word resonate with listeners. This euphoric skill is evident in her performances, where she infuses songs with a unique blend of maturity and soulfulness that belies her young age. Her interpretations often bring a new depth to the music, inviting listeners to explore a rich emotional landscape. For example, her acoustic rendition of "Fly Me to the Moon" captures a longing for love and adventure, while her version of "Bohemian Rhapsody" offers a reflective and thought-provoking experience. Angelina's artistry lies in her ability to connect with the essence of a song and express its emotional core, leaving a lasting impression on her audience.
Someone said , when listening to her EP that it was good but her second album will be crazy good and he guaranteed it. I think he is going to be proven correct.
Great reaction and you hit on something that hasn't been highlighted enough,AJ's comfort level working with Toby Gad.He has the media savy and the Grammys that compliment Angelina's peerless talent.Amongst other praisings Toby called Angelina a very,very,very special performer.
Hi,you are so right Angelina and toby have been working together for some time now,and have produced eight songs that are ready for Angelina new album this year.Charles
Thanks Tom 👍👌👏! my fellow Angelina Angel 😇 This is a NR.1 HIT When it's released I'll hear it as a singer 😲 immediately! out of this world 🌍Angelina's Voice 👸😲🎙! Bye Tom 🖐! love 💖 ☮️✌️😃😀🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🖐🙋♂️ Roger aka Röschu out 😊!
Agree, let’s hope Angelina and Tony keep together for some years. This combo will go sky rockets. Much looking forward to their first album. Her assignment at Republican Record would solve the Marketing thingy, right?
Great reaction and totally agree - this song and performance are epic. They could release this live version, i can't imagine it sounding any better. I foresee her singing this on SNL once she breaks out into broad public awareness, which feels inevitable and coming soon.
❤️❤️❤️❤️👣 Yes, we Angels think she has been a star since she was eight, but I understand your meaning that she could blow up with a wider public. Hopefully this collaboration with Toby will produce that result for her. She has worked long and hard to perfect her gift, so I hope she achieves all that she dreams of.
This is pure Billie Holiday style jazz, which Angelina has mastered in all its complexities that span so many inventive areas of musicality attributable to Billie. Other than another admirer of Billie, who also had tremendous uniqueness in the genre of jazz, and that was Amy Winehouse, there are no other singers I have ever experienced who would be able to do the justice Angelina does to this song. They are the three most improvisational singers this planet has ever produced.
@@ashlenamusic Music is something totally subjective with regard to likes and dislikes. That said, my taste reaches its pinnacle when I absorb the emotion laden penetration of true jazz specialists and whereas I can appreciate to some degree, non-jazz singers like Adele, neither she or this Raye you mention is able to reach the depths of my being in the way Billie, Amy, and Angelina are able to do.
@@ashlenamusic Just heard, for the first time, a singer who performed Sinatra's 'You And Me, We Wanted It All' 14 years ago. Her name is Linda Eder and I found her conveyance of feeling to the listener quite remarkable.

@@grahamkelsey1675 I can't wait to hear what they do with it. They did If I Were a Boy on this stage and it was not nearly as good as the finished versions.
This is a great follow up to If I Were A Boy with Toby Gad. If these are examples of the music they are going to produce together then we are in for a real treat in September.
Great reaction Ashlena. Toby really seems like a nice guy. Note at the end he came around to Angelina and grasps her arms and hugs her. I may be reading more into it then what is actually there but ... to me that was high respect being given to a young 18 year old singer by an experienced and successful composer. Since this came out there has been speculation as to how the teamed up .. whether Toby say her singing or her record label, Republic Records (which seems to me to be most logical) arranged it. In any case .. for those who wonder who Toby Gad is ... Wikipedia: Tobias "Toby" Gad (born 28 March 1968) is a German music producer and songwriter based in Los Angeles. He is known for co-writing songs including John Legend's biggest hit, "All of Me", the fifth-highest certified single in RIAA history, and for co-writing and producing "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie and "If I Were a Boy" by Beyoncé. Other notable works include "Skyscraper" for Demi Lovato, "Who You Are" for Jessie J, "Untouched" for The Veronicas, "A Year Without Rain" for Selena Gomez & the Scene, "Don't Hold Your Breath" for Nicole Scherzinger, "Love You More" for JLS, and "I Do" for Colbie Caillat. In the third quarter of 2014, Gad was ranked the #3 songwriter in America by Billboard, behind Ryan Tedder and Pharrell Williams.
This song is fantastic . You shoukd explore Aurora moore. She is amazing. I'v just been at her performance in Kristiansand Norway and i'm sitting in my campervan and trying to cool of after the concert. She was wonderful as always. Pleas try some moore Aurora. The concert at the Nidarosdomen is breathtaking. Thank you for a great reaction. Cheers from a finn in Sweden. (Norway today)
I don't thing they did Angelina any favors with her EP. Good pop tunes, but nothing really in Angelina's wheelhouse. We'll see how that relationship evolves.
A recent interview on bbc London , Toby revealed he has been working with Angelina since aged 16 . Although he didn't mention her name in that part of the chat . But he did mention the palladium gig with Angelina .Toby explained he had written with a artist ( Angelina) 8 songs but none made her ep He was devastated but that prompted him to produce his piano diaries album .free from Label control. So we dont know if those 8 songs are to be included on Angelinas much awaited album or Will Toby have them for himself? Bad valentine i believe is one of those 8 songs .
You know what the sad thing is, This is going to be the last year of her life where she can walk down the street or on the beach in anonymiity. When you become a superstar your private life is difficult with all the goofball photographers and fans that are sometimes obnoxious. But on the other hand, she's so smart, she might be able to handel it.I hpoe.
Awww that’s so kind thank you! I would push this song to every radio station, ads on IG/TIKTOK, make it viral. Hire influencers to use the song in their videos etc. I’m not a marketer but I have ideas haha
Young lady. Please don’t take this wrong…. I had to view this several times. I had real issues with how you looked so perfect. I was in awe. You had that look of an AI generated character. Everything about you looks perfect. WOW!!!! I have to find you on another Angelina thing.
Just want to say that while Hayley Williams is a decent singer, she is in the same mold as just about every other female singer including Swift and Rodrigo. Vocally they are extremely overshadowed by Angelina Jordan. There are only a couple female artists that can compete with Angie's vocal ability, and Hayley ain't one of them. I guess it boils down to what a person likes or prefers, but when gauging the sheer talent of singing, Angie and a couple more are 10's and the rest come in at around 5 or 6 at best. With that being said, your reaction was fantastic and i.think you are right in saying this year or next will be her break thru year, although i don't think it really matters that much to AJ, as it does to her fans. She is just way too humble and laid back for that to be so important to her right now.
Ashlena. I wonder where you were all this time. I thought you Abandon Her/us. Remember she is with a label. But her contact gave her certain freedom. Yes she buried that one. Yes you better do more Angelina.
So Funny. Amazing How U Wanted 2 kiLL the Bad VaKentine tiL U Found Out the Bad VaLentine is AngeLina is the Bad VaLentine Champagne & Margaritas 4U 🔥🍾🍷🍹
She has some real power. I saw Angelina for the first time when she was like four month old (lol) She has a very distinct way of singing. Its is clearly an emulation of the late and great Amy Winehouse. I will say though, that Amy Winehouse is far better than Ms Jordan in interpretation. Cos she new what she was singing about. Her sound came from hard, gut wrenching experience. I could never gel with Ms Jordan. When ever I see her on stage or other. It always feels more like a performance from her, than "this is what I believe" Vibe you should get. I may be horrible unfair here but still ... I just feel she has to go a few more miles in life to make her interesting.
Most Radio PersonaLities Get N TroubLe by Not Pausing at Some Point & Make a Comment on it B C cause of U-Tube Copyrights. U Are So Smart With Marketing. May Be U Shud Do the Marketing 4Her. Margaritas 4U 🔥 🍾 🍷 🍹
Ashlena . I thought I would stop here. You have just apologised for your aircon being so load. I tell you ,you don't need to worry about that. Your just about to find out Angelina is about to go all out here. You and us fans will not here your aircon . Angelina is about to drown it out .
This isnt my favorite song. It makes angelina seem mean ? shes too nice to do this song. It dont work. The first song of hers I dont like. I thought I would never say that. What was Toby thinking ? I hope this isnt the direction hes taking her career? How can you like this and dislike her what a difference a day makes. You're weird Ashlena ?
