The Barefoot Angel at 7 years old told us "when I grow up, I want to become a superstar." Today at 18 years old, we are watching Angelina a superstar walking and singing in front of our eyes. Thanks for reacting to this awesome performance by Angelina.
Each subsequent version is better than the last to me for one reason. The recording of her voice. The first couple times the mic was not picking up her lowest notes. With each one since they have boosted the recording of her low ends so we can hear those subtle breathy voice notes. But each one has their unique offerings.
Music Video of 'If I Were a Boy' The Piano Diaries by Toby Gad. He co wrote this song with B C Jean and it was made famous by Beyonce in 2008. Toby is working on a reimagining of 9 of his most famous hits and he chose Angelina for this 'reimagination' of this song. This was her second performance released on her Official Channel. They are currently working together on several more songs one of which she performed with her 1st performance of this song at a local nightspot in LA where she also performed this unreleased single called 'Bad Valentine which should be dropping in the next few months. There are also suggestions that they are actually collaborating on Angelina's New Album. Fingers crossed. We are hoping that will soon follow. Toby Gad is a world renowned multi-Grammy winning songwriter and producer from Germany. I believe we are 'finally' at the precipice of Angelina's introduction to the World Stage and doing it with the power, class and emotion that only Angelina can bring. It is happening right in front of our eyes in real time and I could not be more excited. Please do it soon. You don't want to be too late to this monumental moment. 😊♥👣
"If I Were a Boy" is a song written by BC Jean and Toby Gad and originally performed by Jean in 2008.[1] The song gained international attention the same year in a version by the American singer Beyoncé, from her third studio album I Am... Sasha Fierce (2008).
Toby Gad is a multi Grammy award winning songwriter and producer. He has worked with many of the biggest superstars in the music industry producing award-winning hits. He is currently in process of producing an album of his top eight songs called Piano Diaries. He invited Angelina to perform this song with him at piano, which was originally made famous by Beyoncé in 2008, and has received over 600 million views. Most believe this version is much more touching and emotional, and Angelina has made it hers. Move over Beyoncé! Toby and Angelina are working on some original music coming in the next few months, possibly as an album. He is very influential in the industry and this undoubtedly is a huge break for Angelina.
There is even a better version where Angelina performed in a church. I am an Adele fan for many many years but if you listen to the covers of her songs that Angelina did, you realize that the covers are also better than the originals. Play it side by side, Adele has a shrill/tinny voice where Angelina's voice has more color, emotion and is richer.
Who’s this Beyoncé person? This is Angelina’s song now she has upgraded it, I’m so pleased the Grammy Award music producer Toby Gad who co wrote this song has chosen to work with Angelina, Angelina’s rendition is absolutely phenomenal, great reaction thanks 🙏
I agree this is definitely better than the original , but i don't think that many people have heard the original because the original was sung by the co-writer of the song BC Jean . Most people think its a Beyonce song. And yes i think Angelina did it better than Beyonce too.❤❤❤❤👣
Both these covers are glorious but I prefer the stripped down version Piano Diaries. That version lets her voice absolutely shine. Thanks to Toby for asking her to sing this 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.
Toby Gad, and AJ have written a new song!**** The collaboration between Toby Gad and Angelina Jordan has sparked excitement with the announcement of their new original song "Bad Valentine." The anticipation for its release is high, especially after their recent performance at the Hotel Cafe. While the exact release date has not been officially announced, fans eagerly await the new material, which promises to showcase Jordan's unique vocal talents alongside Gad's renowned songwriting skills. Their previous work together, coupled with Jordan's powerful rendition of "If I Were a Boy," suggests that "Bad Valentine" will be another significant addition to her growing repertoire. The music community is abuzz with speculation and enthusiasm for this upcoming release. 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.
The vocal arrangement is from the live performance video. The live performance video takes place in a beautiful church where it’s just Angelina, a cello player and Toby playing the piano. This “official” video has a different musical arrangement, especially as it pertains the instrumentation and the pop feel. In this pop version Angelina is mouthing the lyrics from the live version. I prefer the live version.

Loved your reaction! As you mentioned, I love the way some of her notes just float off into the air. I first noticed this during one of her live performances of "All I Want for Christmas is You" when she was 11. It's just so beautiful! As others have said, highly recommend you check out the Piano Diaries version. Being stripped down, her vocals shine even more here... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eJr-BfUQ2jE.html
