Same key as Elvis, at 12years old! My musical tastes are eclectic. Instrumentals, Andy Williams, Johnny Mathis, Iron Butterfly, Zeppelin, Gershwin, Johnny Horton, smooth jazz, Brazil 66 and everything Angelina takes on! She makes me enjoy music I never much cared for from several artists, past and present. Check out her cover of Billy Jean!
I have heard this version many times and still can't believe how stunning her performance is, just incredible those low notes with ease! Oh I just love Angelina , she never ever disappoints. There is no genre with AJ other than the " Angelina " Genre. Great choice and lovely reaction.
Very nice reaction. Incredible deep register for a 12 year old. I don’t think I have a favorite genre for her. I just Love her voice and it seems to work with almost anything. . I know a lot of fans that have followed her for a long time probably favor the jazz songs and standards she started with and probably hoped she would stay in that vein. I personally would like to see her continue with her own music even if it strays a bit from her jazz roots. She still has the Jazz stylings in her voice which separates her from others out there. For her career to really take off and to sing for the whole world, which is her dream, she needs to broaden her audience. I think her EP is a good start. There are many artists who weren’t songwriters that have had great careers singing other people’s songs, Elvis for example. However I’ve always had a lot of respect for an artist and feel the songs are more meaningful when the write their own songs. Angelina has shown that she is a great songwriter so she doesn’t need to rely on covers going forward.
Thanks for that. Your reaction to this performance was so similar to mine the first time I heard it. To sing in the low register of Elvis as a 13-year-old girl is unheard of. Please remember to continue supporting Angelina and other featured artists by directing them to links in your description of the original video and official channels. Fans really appreciate reactors commitment to their favorite artists. And the artists deserve the recognition in order to advance their careers. Most important to Angelina currently is that everybody purchases and streams her music from Spotify and other media. So many reactors tell us that they build fan loyalty more quickly I reaching out to support the artists, and they gain more subscriptions. Piece and love.
Exactly what she was going for - the Elvis key. Is an amazing performance at any age. ❤❤❤. I’m going for what, I’ll call the Angelina genre. She covers so many genres but does them with her own unique style. Most do not fit back into that or any other genre. It would be sort of like taking a memory foam mattress out of the box and letting it expand to its most comfortable state, then trying to put it back into the original box.
First, I love your reactions! AND, I was a huge fan of Elvis from age 13 to72! 9 years ago at 72 I heard Angelina for the first time (on Norway's Got Talent singing 'Gloomy Sunday') and at 7 years of age she turned my (music) world upside down! 'How Great Thou Art' is one of her best covers of songs Elvis did. She did it in the same key as Elvis (C3 I think) except he, as an adult male, could not finish the song in that key and had to go up one key towards the end whereas Angelina did the whole song in the same key as a 12 year old girl. (an almost impossible feat!). Oh, and yes, Elvis is still the King of music in my mind! Until that night 9 years ago when I heard Angelina for the first time there had never been a "QUEEN of Music" in my mind! That night she became the "Princess of Music" and now that she is approaching adulthood and her voice is maturing even more than what it has always been, she is the "QUEEN of Music". The first time I heard her cover of 'Suspicious Minds', 2 things struck me, (1) she had passed the test for being in the highest spot of music royalty (the Queen), and (2) my biggest wish was that the two of them had been alive at the same time and could have done some songs together!
She took something that seems like too big of a task and did a. “ one up”. I have never heard anyone start this song like that, even Elvis. The same key but the impact was not the same. That little girl brought out such a big sound and finished strong!
Wonderful, Beautiful Blue, quite wonderful. I first saw Angelina's darkly prayerful version of How Great Thou a year or so ago and loved it. So much feeling gives the hymn new life. I first heard this song when I was a young child - sung by George Beverly Shea -live - at the 1959 Billy Graham Crusade evening rally at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, and we drove into that city venue from our family farm in the hills, with us older kids (I was five) in the back of our farm truck, and the words and tune was still ringing in my half sleeping ears as we trucked back up home into the midnight.
The favorite genre of hers - all of them! Every time I listen to a song of AJ, that song enters her #10 list. I think I’ve listen to all of her songs and it’s impossibly to rank anyone outside her #10!
I truly like "Angelina's Genre", she has her own style. As far as the other Genre's of music, she can sing them all superlatively so hard to pick just one...though Jazz is her forte!!! 🥰🥰
👣This is Angelina as she amazes and surprices us again, - as she has done time and time and time again for the last decade, - by all her ways, and her choises in the use of the voice, - her choosing of songs of different genres. And also then by her abilities, her techniques, and her never failing musicality, or as I like to say it, her ever undoubtably masterfull UNDERSTANDING of music and singing. What it`s all about 👣
I’ll go out on a limb and say that most Angelina fans will say they don’t have a favorite genre-just as they will say they don’t have a favorite song. She covers so many different styles so authentically, so beautifully that it’s not possible to pick one over another. Angelina has covered the best singers singing their best songs, and many times I prefer her version. And her new EP has shown us that she’s going in her own direction now. I love young Angelina as well as older Angelina singing the classics, but some of these new songs are her own genre-and they are amazing.
That's pretty much the way it has been for me for the past 6 years I've been listening to her. And, her EP is really hard to stick in a box. The genre called "Angelina Jordan" will have to suffice.
We weren't sure how old Angelina was for this performance until the guitarist, Ivan Mendez, was interviewed by Alan Papier. Ivan told us he played for this performance and we know Angelina was 12 for each performance with Ivan. Both Ivan and Egil Claussen (also interviewed by Alan) told similar stories for when invited to the Astar home. They told us, Angelina would ask them if they knew a song and if so, then they would start the video camera and, in most cases, need only one take to create the videos we enjoy. No practice. One take and done. When more than one take was needed, most of the time it was the guitarist who made a mistake.
I like what she calls her Jazzy Pop genre & of course her interpretations of jazz standards that we've all heard from the legends of the past, but none sung as beautifully as Angelina's version. I hope when she becomes world famous from her own original songs, that she will record an album, or two, or three of classic jazz standards. She owes it to music history to put her stamp on those songs.
I don’t see any logical reason not to release a covers album. Ultimately one may be strategic and the other, cost. Either way I find it frustrating but like others will wait patiently.
Hi sweetie 👋. Great reaction 👍. Just think a 12 yr girl singing in the same key as Elvis and staying in it the whole song and even got as low as C3 and a B2 also. Mind blowing 🤯. The control of her instrument and breath are amazing. Ivan Mendez was playing the guitar. He's in most of here age 12 video's unless something is blocking him. By the time she hit 13 she had already mastered 10+ genre’s. I like all she sings. If you want to her her sing something completely different try these 2 songs 🎵 that were written for her. One is called "Above the water" written for her by TRXD. It's a EDM. Than a classic poetry style by Nico Cartosio called "Song for A". He wrote it for her for his "Melting" album. She's the only song 🎵 with lyrics on his album. It beautiful. She was 12 turning 13 for 1 and just turned 13 for the other. God bless you and your family 🙏 ✝️❤ 🙂👍

How Great Thou Art" is a Christian hymn based on a Swedish traditional melody and a poem written by Carl Boberg (1859-1940) in Mönsterås, Sweden, in 1885. It was translated into German and then into Russian. It was translated into English from the Russian by English missionary Stuart K. Hine, who also added two original verses of his own. This Song has been covered by many artists, including "James Edward Cleveland, The Blackwood Brothers Quartet, Dixie Carter, Tammy Wynette, Charlie Daniels, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Burl lves, Alan Jackson, Billy Preston, Dolly Parton, Martina McBride, ElvisPresley, Cliff Richard, Roy Rogers, George Beverly Shea, Carrie Underwood, Connie Smith, Mahalia Jackson, the Statler Brothers, Sir Howard Morrison. 👣💯 *AJ* 💯👣
You've barely scratched the surface with Angelina. I'm not really that much into EDM but she was invited to feature on a TRXD song which I've been led to understand they wrote for her. The name of the song is "above the water." She could have easily chosen to do that style of music and made a good living at. Remember this is coming from someone who doesn't get into that style of music. Give it a go, you'll be surprised
Yup, definitely in the same key as Elvis did it. But by a 12 year old girl..LOL A small difference 🙂 I liked to see how familiar you are with the song, too 👍👍👍
Angelina appears to have made it her mission to explore as many genres as possible through ages 11 to 16, almost as if she were choosing ingredients with which to mould her own style. It's impossible to say which is my favourite as so many of her covers (and originals) are just SO good, and I find quite a few of them more enjoyable than the original. It is well worth taking the journey; you will find many gems amongst them. They just keep on coming, and surprise you every time.
Awesome reaction and really don't have a favorite! She just opens her mouth and Awesomeness comes out. Check out "Something Has A Hold Me", I believe she is 10, God Bless!
No singer, prior to her, could go into the stratosphere to reach Whitney notes and then come down to a low register that was at the same level Elvis was able to do when he performed this song. The difference is that Angelina actually hold a longer sustained register in specific lines than 'The King' himself did. and we keep being told by vocal experts that her lungs won't be fully developed until she reaches her mid 20's.
It's been reported that Ms. Jordan has a five octave range, one less than Ms. Huston, however, she is maturing and experimenting with her instrument. The sounds we will be delighted with in the future will, rock the world of music. Elvis sang this in C3. Ms. Angelina is her own genre, she's covered eight so far. Rb
This song brings me back to my childhood. My dad was the song leader for our church and every so often he would sing a solo. This was my favorite song of his he did. Later in life we went our separate ways, but this song still holds a special place in my heart. They even played it at his funeral. It was a recording of him singing it. It was very hard to hear at that time. It broke me. Anyway, another great reaction. Still think you need to check out my new favorite Aussie, Nick Cunningham. Kasey Chambers and Karise Eden are still my top 2 from "down under", but I think he will soon top the list. Cya next time neighbor.
Thanks for another great reaction to & appreciation of another beautiful performance by Angelina. She not only sings in the same style of Elvis, but also in the same key. A few other Elvis songs that Angelina does a great job covering: "It's Now or Never" at a Norwegian outdoor music festival, an acoustic version of "Can't Help Falling In Love" & "Always On My Mind" shortly after the passing of her grandfather (you might need tissues). Btw - to learn more about Angelina Jordan & the effect of her music, you might enjoy: "Wrapped In A Warm Blanket". It's an Angelina Jordan podcast by 2 of Angelina's biggest supporters - Alan Papier & Pontus Overlin. Just starting it's 3rd season (after 50+ episodes) it features other reactors & some fans as guests. Anyway - thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
My favorite genre that Angelina sings? That's just like asking me to name my favorite song she sings. It's always the last one I heard her do. There are songs that are genres I never expected to hear her sing (early on in my journey) but try her cover of "La Boheme" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ySzuq0jr_Aw.html Or her cover of Gloria Gaynors "I Will Survive" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ma7sa_n7k-8.html Or maybe the song that a fellow Norwegian EDM duo (TRXD) wrote that they feature Angelina on, called "Above The Water" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rpdHJJQAd9Y.html It doen't matter the genre. In my opinion she does them all extremely well.
if you want some good song by her you should do before he cheats and Jesus take the wheel blown away good girl also the little drummer boy with her and her son i think he was 5 when they did it
A moonbow (sometimes known as a lunar rainbow) is an optical phenomenon caused when the light from the moon is refracted through water droplets in the air. The amount of light available even from the brightest full moon is far less than that produced by the sun so moonbows are incredibly faint and very rarely seen there only Currently, two places on planet earth where moonbows can be seen on a consistent basis: Victoria Falls on the Zambia-Zimbabwe border and Cumberland Falls near Corbin, Kentucky. I live about 30 minutes from Corbin Kentucky I have saw the moonbow a few times
Angelina looks about 9-10? Not important really, but she was fearless here and didn't stray from the original hymn, which is how Elvis performed it, straight up exactly the way we'd sing it in church...although the lyrics were a bit off, what she produced was exemplary of her approach...there isn't any genre she backs away from. Now, this is a BIG song to cover, similar to "I HAVE NOTHING" and I'll say the same way she sounded singing it at an early age and the updated studio BLACK/WHITE version shows growth. Angelina pushed her vocals as low as they go to visit her lower range here produce the cover because that's who she is, she pushes herself to sing even what might be considered impossible by others. Angelina again, does the same thing in a version of Sinatra's jazz classic "YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO YOUNG" and she blows this jazz classic out of the water...again, using both low and high register to delight your ears and make you SMILE...BIG TIME!!! Thanks once again for reacting to ALL genre's. Your yourself are fearless and listen to everything, and I appreciate that about you, Red.!!! (If one day you've got to hear a David Foster arrangement sung by a Lady with Pipes, try a listen of Chaka Khan singing "Through the Fire"...just on the side for your own mind-blowing pleasure, not a reaction, ok??). I promise you'd enjoy it. Keep reaching for the stars, and we'll be right by your side for the ride!!! Peace & Blessings coming your way!! 🙂😇🌠🌠
That "hi" at the end sounded like a different person. lol So what does her real voice sound like? But I get it. I think what her managers push with her act is the novelty of a kid singing that doesn't sound like a kid. She got her start imitating Billie Holiday. IMO she should stay with that genre and style.
That was a “bye”, think her managers have very little input on how she presents herself and she is the furthest from being “a novelty kid singer”, she writes, arranges and sings like the pro she is and has followed her own path since she immersed herself in singing and music when her age was in single digits. Peace
@@rburkett1939 Ok "bye." That makes sense. My opinion on AJ is the same as with any singer that becomes a "star" as a child, and then wants to continue as an independent artist as an adult. It is very difficult to make this transition successfully especially in this time of internet woke media. You claim that she has done this, but you have to make the case with people like me (old and narrow minded according to the other Pastorino guy comment).
@@John_Malloy, I understand , been following Angelina since 2014 (I’m 74) and think she’s the most level headed and gracious young lady I’ve ever seen, she’s genuinely kind and caring and it seems she’s laser focused on her chosen path…reminds me of Audrey Hepburn. Peace
@@rburkett1939 Thanks for your response. I will definitely keep listening with an open mind (and ear) to Angelina. Who knows maybe she is reading these comments. My old voice teacher in college, going back to 1984, used to advise us to always find something positive to say to a singer after a concert. Even though this is YT I would imagine that advice still applies. Pax vobis.
My favorite is her voice. I don’t care what she saying. My favorite is feeling good live stream yeah yeah it’s 10 that’s my favorite one good night good life stream at age of 10 performance of this world. Give me my opinion see if this it was lower than Elva’s. Went down about the three start on the same key, but she is going to little bit heavy one PlayStation if you pull it through and she come out and it’s a rodent by She’s singing jacket, one and a half and half hours and saying I was and we actually flew Norway to hear her saying you’re my wife from the USA Midwest my wife I’m so impressed with her if you want to go back to the next concert so we did she was Tim. We were the first concert. Welcome to my world is Presley DentalWorks Dinah Washington song 05 songs that night and we come back that night she said five more.
Elvis Elvis Who is he? She sings in the original swedish tradition. It's a swedish song. How about broaden those US referenser. The world is bigger than the USA.
Yes, sir. The song was written by a Swedish Minister, I believe in the later 1800s. It was popularized by the musicians in the United States in churches in the hymn books and Mr. Elvis Presley recorded it and brought secular attention to the song. I have no other reference other than my own. And I do try to expand my knowledge and taste as often as I can. I do hope that your heart was blessed by her performance and any offense that I may have inadvertently caused you could be forgiven. No matter the style, sir, the song is a treasure and belongs to Heaven and entrusted to the pen of a man in Sweden. 💕
Not all about the US my friend....Swedish gospel singer Per-Erik Hallin has credited Elvis Presley's rendition of "How Great Thou Art" as a major factor in the revival of "O Store Gud" by Carl Boberg in Sweden....just a little fact
"How Great Thou Art" is a Christian hymn based on an original Swedish hymn entitled "O Store Gud" written in 1885 by Carl Boberg (1859-1940). The English version of the hymn and its title are a loose translation by the English missionary Stuart K. Hine from 1949
@@CarlD70 I did not think that Elvis wrote it. I knew it was an old hymn as I sang it in church as a child. But unfortunately Elvis popularized it here and I did not hear the version that Elvis was influenced by. Everyone is influenced by someone. And yes, my reference may seem small to you. I am forever learning.
