Sweet reaction... Her latest release "My Funny Valentine" (2/14/22) is my favorite rendition of this song in the last 50 years. IMHO Angelina's best soul, jazz, R&B song Is "I'm Still Holding Out For You". I'm looking forward to your reaction of that video.
How many people can immediately take you into their world ....like this...your senses cant take it all in....;one in a million....fantastic...so many greats...rolled into one voice.....just amazing.....head and shoulders beyond most....what she does naturally...others spend a life time trying to perfect. And what a band.....like glove in hand.....a rare privilege and for us a priceless experience....
Larry, you must do a double reaction: Angelina at 10 years old doing " MY FUNNY VALENTINE ", then her doing it today at 16 years old. The first heart crushing adorable, the second breath taking!
Great idea, I second this! Thanks for getting back to our Angel! But please use the original Instagram version of the recent cover and not the 4K RU-vid versions for better sound quality! :)
I concur. There is another reactor that did just that. He watched Angelina’s incredible 2016 ten year old rendition and then her 2022 remake. It’s a fantastic way of seeing Angelina’s growth and development. Her remake is incomparable.

Great reaction! She got a standing ovation from both the orchestra and the public for this and she was just 12 at the time. Live performance and also outside! Outstanding!
This was actually from the Kongsberg concert, indoors with a 4-piece jazz band, same year. Also, the audio is from official channels. The outdoor one you’re referring to is with a full military band, and the musicians are really fun to watch (if you can tear yourself away from watching Angelina, that is!).
She was 12 when this was recorded live!!! Imagine. And MARCIN PATRZALEK, Polish solo acoustic guitarist makes this so jazzy!! He’s not in her band. He is world renown on his own. I hope I live to hear her voice at age 30 !!!!
Okay, Angelina was only twelve years old here. Although Angelina was asked on a talk show in the same year "after everything she has already experienced, does she feel like a 12 year old ??" she replies " only when I look in my passport !!! 😅 " 💯 *AJ* 💯 By the way, Angelina has released a new version of my funny valentine on her IG account. In case you want to try it, use the original one from IG and not the RU-vid fan videos, the audio quality is much better. 🤗🤗
She truly is a child here at 12, 7th grade. Here is another version also at 12 on stage with the Norwegian Military Band that she also recorded with for her album "It's Magic" released when she was 12 in 2018. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HEm7tGrjIKk.html She turned 16 on Jan.10,2022 and released "MY FUNNY VALENTINE" on Feb.14. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bWiLOnHJYxg.html This is a masterpiece
Hello Harry thank you for the reaction. Angelina did a short cover of House of the rising sun. And also on valentine's day she covered the song My funny valentine 💝
Your reaction really warmed my day! Below zero and snow in Colorado. Pray that all is better with you and your family. You're the best ever. Thank you Chris. 😊 Patti
@@larryshair Thank U Larryshair for Sharing Ms. Angelina Jordan with the World!!! So Kind Here - Sir!!! Sincerely, Douglas / DD. Take Care!!! Its Over the Top!!! OMG!!! / Wow!!! Above First Class - Ms. AJ!!!I
Welcome back to Angelina! Thanks for another great reaction to another masterful performance by Angelina. And as you stated, she definitely added some "umph" :) Always look forward to your Angelina reactions. Highly recommend - IMHO one of her best at any age - I'm Still Holding Out For You which she performed at age 10. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
Wow Chris! This made my day. Or midnight, rather :-) Thanks a lot for doing this. And thanks for a great and very respectful reaction. You know? Angelina was 12 years and 5 months here. Not even a teenager. There is actually a recording of her performing this live on a concert here in Norway, performing with the Norwegian Army's Military Band. Recorded on the property of a fortress, no professional recording equipment was allowed, but one person in the crowd was able to capture it on his/her handheld device. Have a look on your own time, you won't regret it. So, Angelina 12 years looked and sounded like this : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HEm7tGrjIKk.html Now just a little background on her: Angelina has just turned 16 years old, as of January 10th and currently stands 6'1 (1m 85 cm) tall, so she is by no means a small girl anymore... Hehe NOW, Chris. LISTEN. This is NO joke. If you want to make your Norwegian buddy REALLY happy : When Angelina was 10 years old, she covered "My Funny Valentine", the 1937 jazz standard that has been covered and included in 1300+ albums through the years. And that cover was GREAT! But here's the deal: Last week, on Valentine's Day, she dropped a new cover of the song. And OMG! that is beautiful. In the video you see Angelina filming herself with a phone, while strolling around in a vintage furniture store, so you will also be updated on her gorgeous looks. Just let me tell you right now that you are NOT prepared for this cover. Believe me. If you react to that one, there is absolutely no going back for you. That is simply not possible. I will drop a link to both her covers now, and I would love if you would have a listen on your own time to her cover from she was 10 years old first, so brush up on the song itself and to compare and see the progression. The two performances are exactly 6 years apart. Here is Angelina 10 y.o. : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sZ25H4a2gPI.html And here is the fresh, one week old cover, hold on to your hair : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bWiLOnHJYxg.html Please consider this, Chris. You will understand :-) Love from the other side of the pond :-)
Before you go to bed, which I think you may have already, read some of the comments! You're getting some love from the other commenters saying I should listen to Pool! HOW CAN I RESIST! I'll have to do a double reaction. It'll be my first. Thanks my friend!
Yes please do this, only please take the original Instagram (best) or at least Rusty´s version for better sound quality: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ETGLbsGDAI0.html&ab_channel=RustyShackleford
WOW! That is awesome! Welcome! I wish I could discover her now and get to listen to all her wonderful performances from age 6 onwards. I've been following her since she was that age, and I have been listening to her very close to every day since. She is addictive. Be prepared :-) Greetings from Norway :-)))
Fantastic reaction to a 12 year old Master of Music! Check out her New Release on Valentine's Day, "My Funny Valentine". By the way she just turned 16 on the 10th of January, that's crazy, God Bless!
Thank you Larry for your remarkable reaction to Angelina Jordan! I have watched Angelina's "It's a man's world" performance on RU-vid more than 100 times perhaps, but this is the first time I'm hearing this soundtrack! wow....wow..! Let me be honest with you: I believe words such as "awesome, incredible, fantastic...." fail to describe Angelina's voice, her artistic abilities and her talent! New vocabulary is needed! ANGELINA IS A GIFT!
It’s all about the rasp, the range, the power, the air, the space between sounds, the vibrato, the timing , the emotion and delivery, etc. etc. etc. So many other talented vocalists of our time have some of these traits, but none have them all. She is a phenomena of our time.
Nice, very nice reaction & comment on 12 y.o Angie. Remember Angie never sings a song the same way twice, so they'll all be 1st time reactions. That was put on her 1st CD "It's Magic" & yes you can buy it. This is the outdoor concert were she does it differently It’s a man’s world” by James Brown ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HEm7tGrjIKk.html Angie is 12 doing a outdoor concert, a musician said she hit a E5-G5 on the big belt near the end. I came to the conclusion that Angie sings like an instrumentalist combinded with narrative music. Another reason she’s so especially rare & great. For her palette is so much more broader than most your singers especially in the current pop ect. market. Everyone's seems to be into belting & showing off what they know or can do & than there's Angie, a complete class act. She sings & tells a story intimately. Which draws you in when you are really listening. She's not background noise/sounds just to put out something. She is a true artist & she still has 10-15 more years before her voice totally matures.
Good reaction - here she was 12 years old. She was having a very busy summer in 2018. June 16th she had a concert with the military band to promote her album. She sang this song then, the approach was a little different, she had some heavy instrumentation to climb over, it was like she was using the band as a spring board, she leapt off it in a most spectacular way - totally fearless, yet somehow remaining very humble and a little shy. A few days later she flew to London to open the show in Quincey Jones 85th birthday concert - she sang Fly me to the Moon, of course in Quincey's arrangement. This concert, back in Norway July 7th. This young lady has some work ethic! It's a Man's World (with intro) - video from audience with cleaned up audio (enhanced by BigAngieFan) - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tGXnodBLyUg.html
Nice to see you return to music. I’m 77, and Rap is not music. It is spoken word accompanied by an annoying percussive beat that fills my brain, so that the words become gibberish. On a positive note, there are several young singers that deserve their time on RU-vid. Besides Angelina and Aurora, spend some time with Lucy Thomas, Diana Ankudinova, and of course go back to Home Free. They are amazingly productive, putting a new song or cover at least every other week.
Hi Larry. I'll tell anyone who will hear it, Angelina Jordan is a jazz legend. They scoff, twelve years old, c'mon man. Listen to this track and the countless others is my rational. BTW, Angelina's no longer our little munchkin, but a six-foot one, soon to be, Amazon beauty. Cheers!
I can’t wait until you watch and react to Angelina’s 2016 and 2022 performances of, “My Funny Valentine”. Angelina wasn’t even a teenager yet in this performance.
You would really love her version of “My funny valentine” she dropped for Valentines Day 👌❤️ I have no words … happy you’re back on this beautiful human🌈
.. Thank you for doing this version of the song as it has much better audio and I think less distractions with no clarinet,,,, And an epic guitar outro.
You probably already know this but Angelina doesn't just sing the song, she arranges it too. If I had to point a finger at anyone making a cover "their own" it's this young woman
Love your positive vibe reaction. You can see on some rehearsals with this band, how she's working to motivate every member to do his best. Her nickname is the..boss. All are captured with a big smile 😄😇🙋🎹🎵
Chris I don't know whether you had realized the math when she did this she was 12 years old she was born in 2006 and this was done in 2018 absolutely unbelievable
A remarkable thing is that Angelina, over and over, does what she does to classic iconic tracks that are well known. She knows the bar is high and still (whether as a lioness[as here] or as a princess) she exceeds expectations! Nice reaction.
We are blessed Chris for sure. You were close on age guessing but she did this at age 12....fathom that with what you are listening to. Nice to see you back with Angelina. Great suggestion below on reacting to song versions 6 years apart of "My Funny Valentine" here at age 10, sitting at home with no microphone: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sZ25H4a2gPI.html. And here is the recent release of the song at age 16 which is stunningly beautiful: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ETGLbsGDAI0.html.
Adding to PoolHallShark"s request also... I have listened to her My Funny Valentine at least 50 times, plus from lots of reactors playing it. Eager to hear more..it is that good..!
No one mentioned that Angelina turned sweet 16 on January 10, 2022 and she has ten years of videos on YT. She is an experienced professional, getting even better with every song she sings. You did not mention that she is the arranger for all her songs. Republic Records is lucky to have signed her in 2020!
Larry, I know you love the jazz and Angelina has outdone herself once again. When she was 9 or 10 she recorded My Funny Valentine in her living room and it was spectacular. Now in the past week at age 16 she has recorded it again, and it is unworldly. I highly recommend you do a reaction with both performances one after the next to demonstrate the advancement in her technique, nuances, inflections, and power. You'll be blown away.
Hi Ron fancy seeing you here and I see a comment from Andy down the way, by the way, the reactor's name is Chris. His channel name is a friendly joke on a friend named Larry, they would mess up each other's hair. good seeing your comment. I have tried to get him to do The Warning, a double reaction of "Enter Sandman" old and new. But he has not done it yet.
@@lynettepascua4730 Hi Lynette, fancy seeing you here LOL. Yes Andy and I are both very active in working with reaction channels to encourage more support for the artists. And a very large number are now implementing these guidelines. Hopefully Chris will do the same. It will be great if he will do your request for the warning!
@@ronraskind Thank you for doing that, I like watching Chris's reactions, he is really moved by music and is very sincere. I believe he will follow the right way of doing things unless he gets so blown away he forgets. But some realtors out there I have a hard time watching. I for one appreciate you and Andy's dedication.
@@lynettepascua4730 thanks Lynette. Each of us have been working on this for months and have a large number of channels that have implemented the guidelines. It's a very good thing for them and the right thing to do.
Nice reaction. I always enjoy your reactions and insight with your Angelina Jordan videos. I wish you'd used the video showing her singing. Most songs can be found on her 2 RU-vid channels ( original songs and her cover channel) or her grandma's channel. Also, 2 "superfans" have videos posted on her behalf (not monetized). Rusty Shackleford has a 170+ list of her videos. Boris Palenovski has many videos posted with enhanced (corrected) sound. These are often videos using a hand held cell phone for the recording.
Hey Chris. I have missed seeing your reactions of Angelina. Great reaction, as always. This young lady is just amazing. That said, you really must react to her recent performance of “My Funny Valentine” it is light years ahead of anything you have heard yet. Honestly. It is out of this world. Thanks again.
Hopefully someday video for this 2018 concert will emerge as every song is fabulous. Larry great to have you back reacting to Angelina. I along with other angels have been suggesting to reactors to go beyond just their reactions to support the artist. We suggest you verbally encourage your viewers to watch, like and comment on the original video and to subscribe to their channel. Providing links in the description helps this support. I hope you will join the dozens of channels who already are following these suggestions.
Andy, this is an effort as you are aware is being generated by a team of committed fans. You may or may not be aware that there is a video in the planning stage to educate reactors and viewers alike on how to best support their favorite artists. It includes the things you mentioned. They're likely will also be a follow-up video on a weekly basis that will highlight channels that are doing the best job at artist support. I think that participating channels will really appreciate the exposure.
Hi, Andy fancy seeing you here, You are doing a great job getting the word out about this, I see you here and there. By the way, the reactor's name is Chris. His channel name is a friendly joke on a friend named Larry, they would mess up each other's hair. I have tried to get him to do The Warning, a double reaction of "Enter Sandman" old and new. But he has not done it yet.
Incredible but she was 12 at the time of this concert 😍 She turned 16 this January, All the vocal tools you pointed out when she was that young, have developed tenfold in these 4 years. You should check out her last Instagram/IGTV post she sent for her fans on Valentine's Day - "My Funny Valentine". ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bWiLOnHJYxg.html It's impossible to describe but to say it's exquisite or medicine for the soul 💖
If you think this live performance by Angelina was great - then you have to check her out singing this song live outdoors with a full orchestra still at age 12 - and as you watch - pay attention to the reactions of the musicians in the band and conductor - she blew them away too! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HEm7tGrjIKk.html
I saw the number of subscribers you now have is over 42,000 I remember when you said you hit 5000 and you were amazed I wonder what you think now LOL I'm sure their number of subscribers that you got now are doing part Angelina
Larry, this is like homecoming day. Love your reactions. Your talent is that you seem to be a very credible guy. Anyway, I really like it when reactors point out some of the unusual things that Angelina does with her voice. I've heard reactors think that she made a fortuitous mistake - until she does it at the same spot, later in the song. Don't forget to mention Angelina's channels
The audio quality on this version is exceptional, and Angelina of course is well, Angelina! Wait till you do that double reaction to "My Funny Valentine" and see what she is doing at 16. She has taken it up a couple of notches to be sure, and to think her voice will not fully mature until her mid 20's. Crazy! I'd also like to add my voice to the request for you to add a link to the original video, and Angelina's official and cover channels in the description (when you do reactions to her, as well as other up and coming artists you react to) as well as verbally encouraging your viewers to use those links to support the artist. I believe Angelina's fan base has kind of started a trend amongst dozens of reactors to begin doing this, as it helps the artist analytics and yours as well. By showing your viewers that you support the artists in this way, they are more likely to do the same for you. So it's a win-win :)
And when you watch a video where you can see her doing this live (see the comment from 'poolhallshark' for the link) it is as if she is just talking to the audience.... So controlled, so effortless.
She also did another live version of this song in 2017, with the army orchestra I think,, and the audience included the Norwegian Prime Minister. Check tht one out. She was 11 in that one, and q2 in this one,!
Both this and the outdoor one were from 2012, so 12yrs old. The CD “It’s Magic” was recorded at the end of 2017, so 11yrs old. The outdoor concert was the launch for the CD in July 2012.
Awesome reaction Chris! In case you miss poolhallshark's post about this, I'll second the point here. Here is a live version of It's A Man's World by Angelina that is a must watch/listen: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HEm7tGrjIKk.html
Munchkin Chris? At 12 she was tall for a twelve year old girl. Now a 6'er with a much more matured voice, hardly a "munchkin" now. What will she do in the next 10 years? The mind boggles.
I’ve been loving watching all these reactions, keep it coming! I would highly recommend reacting to “Bad Guy” by Eminem as it is a sequel to “Stan” and follows Stan’s little brother Mathew
