This cover is glorious, it lets her voice absolutely shine. Thanks to Toby for asking AJ to sing this reinvented cover of his song for his Piano Diaries album. Toby is quoted saying, “Working with Angelina has been nothing short of inspiring. Her ability to channel profound emotion through her voice adds a whole new depth to the song.” They are also working on other songs for AJ. This will be huge for her. After 16 years of practice Angelina is all grown up and has now arrived. Please subscribe to AJ's channel - she deserves it. And don't forget Toby Gad as well.

If I Were A Boy Angelina Jordan's rise in the music industry is a testament to her exceptional talent and unique voice. From a young age, she has captivated audiences with her soulful performances and mature musical understanding. Her ability to connect with listeners and deliver performances with emotional depth is unparalleled. As she continues to grow as an artist, her influence extends beyond the charts, inspiring a new generation of musicians and music lovers alike. With each performance, she reaffirms her status as a prodigious talent in the world of music. AJ' s ability to imbue each song with deep emotion and her own distinctive style makes her a sought-after artist for songwriters and composers. Having a song performed by her can be seen as a mark of prestige, potentially elevating the song's reach and impact. It's a testament to her talent that songwriters might feel that having her interpret their work would bring a new level of recognition and appreciation to their music. Beyonce' version of "If I Were A Boy" was good, but AJ's version gives one chills and causes us to cry, not sad tears but happy emotional tears of joy. This is no longer a Beyonce song; it now belongs to AJ who can take any song and give it meaning.
I thought this was an especially beautiful production with the church as the backdrop, not to mention the acoustics. I expect this to be a magical year for our barefoot princess, a story-teller supreme, gifted with a voice like none other. Collaborating now with Toby Gad only adds to the excitement of her future releases.
If she's really your favorite singer, you have pretty good ears and taste. She is one of the real ones, no software manipulations needed. You'll hear a real human vocals with just enough production and enhancement. That's why you'll hear something special when listening to Angelina. Because it's the human voice, the voice that God gave us. Best voice on the planet in my opinion. Just watched all your reactions to Angelina.
A cover only in the sense that what Beyoncé made was a cover of the song written by BC Jean and Toby Gad, originally performed by Jean in 2008. Beyoncé's cover was that same year. In this video the pianist is Toby Gad .. the Piano Diaries are a celebration of his hit songs. He invited Angelina to England with him to perform .. this is the sixth version I have heard. I am not sure if it is really a cover when a singer is standing next to the composer as they jam to create a different version of the song. 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.
I love this. Although I`m almost scared. Angelina blows my mind - at 18, and she is still going to improve/mature for years to come. She`s taking us to a musical heaven. No doubt. 🎤🎧🎼🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶🎶🎵 BTW - take a look at the other video as well. Same vocal track, but so intrerestinly different as well. The magic of Angelina? 👣 🤗

She just keeps getting better;) She could have stopped improving long ago and still been top tier. Her next original (Bad Valentine) with Toby may blow your mind! lol
Thank you for reacting to the young legend Angelina Jordan. She is currently an 18-year-old young woman who will gradually take the world by storm with her performances. Those are the facts.
Thank you for your great reaction , elevating a pop song into an absolutely stunning heartfelt masterpiece , as only stunning Angelina can, never even liked this song but as always AJ 's magic makes me love everything I didn't , and yes she just gets better and better as she always has , she is on the verge of taking over the music industry and probably anything else she wants to .💜💜💜👣💜💜💜
Great reaction, and great to see you back with Angelina. NOW listen! - I think you should react to her newest original, that she wrote together with Toby Gad (The man on the piano in THIs one and he also the man who wote All Of Me by John Legend, Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie and Skyscraper by Demi Lovato, just to mention a few. The song is called "Bad Valentine" and hasn't released yet, but there is an incredible live performance of it from a small, intimate stage in the states. You will find the video on the channel of James Thiel. You have never heard Angelina that way, I promise Love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
the piano player wrote the song along with B.C.Jean. Beyonce covered it cuz she loved it. then when Toby started his piano diaries series he wanted the best singers to sing for him. He asked Angelina to sing If I were a boy. He didnt ask Beyonce, Cuz Angelina's version is much better. great reaction buddy God Bless.
Dear Sir, Mister Gad is an exceptional composer and as some say, a genius, the Good Lord brought him and Miss Angelina together for a concert, where Mr. Gad donated the proceeds to help the homeless community, something he and Miss Angelina have in common. They discovered, that they can work together. A gentleman who wrote for the top tier of the music industry cooperates with Miss Angelina, it speaks for itself and a bright future for her. Dear sir, be safe and healthy (that´s an order🤣) Elmar from Germany
I enjoyed your reaction to Angelina. Toby Gad is a multi Grammy award winning songwriter and producer. He has produced award-winning hits for many of the biggest superstars in the music industry, including names like Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, Demi Lovato, Beyoncé, and more. He has recently produced an album of his top songs called Piano Diaries. As co-writer, he invited Angelina to perform If I Were a Boy with him at piano, and with cello. It was also released with a music video, but many prefer the piano version. The song was originally made famous by Beyoncé in 2008, and has received over 600 million views. Most believe Angelina's version is much more intimate and emotional, and she has reimagined it rather than covered it. Toby and Angelina also have been working on some original music, the first of which is a pre-release that you are reacting to. Bad Valentine is a jazzy, soulful, and powerful song that is perfectly suited for Angelina's voice. I think it has great potential to be the launching pad for the next phase of Angelina's career. Toby Gad is very influential in the industry and this collaboration is undoubtedly a huge break for Angelina.
I recommend you a Spanish singer her name is Diana Navarro with the song "El perdón" she is a singer that transmits a lot when she sings and has incredible melismas. She is also very versatile when it comes to singing. She sings different musical styles. Best regards
They’ve since released a rehearsal of this with Angelina singing a cappella for the first part of the song. The acoustics in the church really show up without instruments. Be sure to watch it!
Nice reaction! On the piano is the co-writer of the song, Toby Gad. Just to let you know, the other co-writer of the song, BC Jean, was the first to sing the song as well as the person the song came from. The man that she was in love with had just broken up with her. Per Toby, he played it for Beyonce one day and she really wanted to sing and use this song, and the rest you say is history. Angelina and Toby have been working together for a while now and are creating new music for her to sing. Toby okayed the release of an unreleased song with Angelina called Bad Valentine and it is a BANGER! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yTjzhPSVguc.html This collaboration is awesome! The Piano Diaries is Toby's project of other singers singing his most famous songs. Angelina of course is singing this song made famous by Beyonce. There is actually an official music video for If I Were A Boy on her official RU-vid Channel. The music is a bit different, more commercial and pop sounding, but still great. You should see it to hear the difference! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_rJ-HlsTsyM.html Who is Toby Gad? Gad is a German music producer and songwriter based in Los Angeles.

There are actually five versions of this out! Three are live performances! Two official videos! Beyoncé covered this song. BC Jean one of the cowriters originally sang this! Angelina’s exquisite talent and vocal’s allows her to tell the story of the song so the listener can feel the emotions behind the lyrics! She just showcased the audience her vocal abilities effortlessly! Please checkout her new original from Angelina and Toby called Bad Valentine from James Thiel’s RU-vid channel! Toby gave James permission to post on RU-vid ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yTjzhPSVguc.htmlsi=w9n8OGF5p7uhJC1j This song kicks it up multiple levels!
Angelina also performed this song live with Toby Gad at the London Palladium on May 20, 2024: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SLX7sIZz1oU.html
Good reaction. She makes her patented emotional heart-felt performance. The arrangement and music are fine. It's just the lyric idea of the immature boy that's cruddy. Many ARE immature, increasingly, as they have no 'father figure' in their home to guide them. Politically, slamming strong 'male' men is a fav theme of one Political Party.
Although this song was made famous by Beyonce, this song was neither written by nor for Beyonce, so not her cover. This was co-written by Toby Gad and BC Jean for BC Jean and co writer Toby Gad asked Angelina to re-invent the song for him. Tobias "Toby" Gad (born 28 March 1968) is a German music producer and songwriter based in Los Angeles.
