Great to see you again, Dave 🙂 Great reaction to Angelina, as always. This song was co-written by Toby Gad at the piano, together with the artist that first performed it (BC Jean), before Beyoncé made it extremely popular. Toby is an incredible song writer, and back in 2014 he was ranked as the world's 3rd most successful song writer, having also co-written "All Of Me" by John Legend and the song "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie, just to mention a few. The "Piano Diaries" is an album of his that released yesterday, and on it he has invited different singers to sing rearranged versions of some of his most popular songs 🙂 Toby and Angelina have also made at least ONE original together, called "Bad Valentine". That song will release in a couple of months. But they have been working quite a bit together already, and I am extremely hopeful that the two together can elevate Angelina's career to the next level. With the kind of voice and skills she possesses, all it takes is ONE song that will go viral, and the rest will be a done deal. I am absolutely positive that Angelina is the next superstar in the music industry. And as you can also see in THIS video, she will help put some class back into the biz as well. Much needed at that IMHO. I don't recall of you have reacted to her performance on the Nobel Peace Prize concert on December 11th last year, performing "Unchained Melody" ?? If you haven't, make absolutely double sure that you do, as it will blow your socks clean off. And another example of her pure class and elegance was yet again on full display. Have a great weekend, Buddy!! Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
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 is about. Per Toby, they 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. They teased a song at a special event called Bad Valentine and it should be coming out within a few months. 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. Who is Toby Gad? Gad 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.
It's obviously not an original, but, as the original songwriter is involved and releasing himself with other artists and songs, I would consider this a re-release, or even a refresher to a timeless classic. I cant wait for many more like this to come.
Wonderful reaction, Dave! As always. Angelina is so creative in the nuances she finds in a song, and this one she just knocked out of the park! She put so much passion into it, so believably, you'd think she'd written it.

Angelina and multi Grammy award winning Toby Gad are working on creating songs together with one completed thus far, Bad Valentine, to be released in a couple of months I believe..I’ve heard it Dave..it’s got hit written all over it..heads up🙏
Great to see you again Dave....Angelina just re-created another Iconic song into her own. Thanks to Toby for inviting Angelina to perform his songs and also to collaborate with her in writing new music, coming out soon. She is a Goddess now. 🥰🥰
Beautiful! I began calling her our Barefoot Goddess about a year ago, but I thought I was crazy because no one else was...so bless you, fellow angel ✨️ ❤️ 🙏 Angel-ina is just beyond incredible. This collaboration is absolute perfection. A masterpiece! ❤️
WHAT IT DO DAVE! Welcome back. Our Princess/Queen is doing great things. Please check out her latest performances. She definitely made this song hers. I'm so happy that you're here.
Thanks for your nice reacton to this epic perfornance. It's probably more of a legendary re-make than a regular cover. This is made for her by the songwriters "BC Jean" and "Toby Gad" (at the piano" himself to perform with Angelina Jordan's rendition and interpretation of the song. This song will been released in two completely different versions in terms of instrumentation. 👌👌😀😀 Another video will also be launched where the visual content is completely different where we see Angelina appearing in "normal clothes" and with more type pop sound.
Wonderful reaction, thanks Dave. You freeze ... endlessly listening to her wonderful voice and admiring her fantastic musical sensitivity, even the simplest song that passes through her hands becomes fantastic. She is simply unique and with a wonderful melodic perception. This interpretation (isn't a cover for me) is curative for the your soul and the soft background accompaniment of the piano and cello give her a beautiful silky backdrop.💛🧡❤
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 which was originally made famous by Beyoncé in 2008, and has received over 600 million views. Most so far believe this version is much more touching and emotional, and Angelina has made it hers. 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.
WHAT IT DO DAVE! I've always loved your Angelina reactions. You've been a forever fan. Angelina is a fantastic story teller and you definitely picked up on this. Angelina uses so many techniques to make us feel. 🍁
I'd recommend checking out Angelina's Feb 29th Las Vegas concerts after tuning 18 and putting in 10 years of performing. James Thiel (Summa Engineer) has awesome videos ✅ to check out
"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). Jean and Gad also handled its production alongside Beyoncé. Inspired by the difficult break-up of a romantic relationship, the song was initially recorded by Jean, whose record company rejected it. Beyoncé then recorded her own version. Jean was upset when she learned that Beyoncé was releasing it as a single, but eventually, they reached an agreement. Columbia Records released "If I Were a Boy" to US radio on October 8, 2008, as a double A-side single alongside "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" as the lead singles. The two songs showcased the contrast between Beyoncé's personality and her aggressive onstage persona, Sasha Fierce. A Spanish version of the song, titled "Si Yo Fuera un Chico", was digitally released in Mexico and Spain.
I MISS MY CHILDHOOD PENICOSTAL CHURCH, SANGIN WITH FEELING, DANCING IN THE ISLES LOL BUT THE SPIRIT WAS THERE AND THE FEELING I GOT AS A CHILD , AJ BRINGS THAT BACK TO ME. WONDERFUL REACTION DAVE.
Everytime she sings a new song I have to listen to it over and over again on Spotify 🥰 Makes my day so much better every time I play her songs ❤ Ann from Norway
I have listened to this song in multiple venues some 60 times now, and each time it gets better, especially this performance in church with the strings, just exquisitely beautiful.
The man on the piano wrote the song for Bionce. (SP) Toby Gad he is putting together all his song he wrote for starts i.e. John Legend etc etc. and putting together an album with artists of his choice and how he first imagined the song.......He chose AJ for his one........His album is called......Piano Diaries. coming out soon. also he is collaborating with AJ on new songs....I'm sure someone will correct me somewhere....
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.
And once again, you have been "touched by an Angel(ina)" I've missed you reacting to Angelina, Dave. Don't ever let comments from "fallen angels" push you away.

Toby Gad is the co-writer of the song with BC Jean. BC Jean, was the first to sing the song. Beyoncé cover the Song. Tobias "Toby" Gad (born 28 March 1968) is a German music producer and songwriter based in Los Angeles.

Who is Jordan covering? Beyoncé’s version was a cover of BC Jean’s original, who was the cowriter with Toby Gad, who is playing the piano here and produced this rerelease of his original song.
