ANGELINA JORDAN It's A Man's World | Vocal Coach Reacts (& Analysis) | Jennifer Glatzhofer 

Just 12 years old here, Angelina shows that she is just in a league of her own. She packs in so much detail, that you can talk for several minutes about just the first 20 seconds of her singing. I imagine if someone tried to notate one of Angelina's performances to be replicated by someone else later, it would take pages and pages to get it all down on paper... and I'm not sure there are even notations that could capture some of the finer details of her vocals. And she does all that with seemingly zero effort. Like it's as easy as breathing for her.

The conductor was surprised at her vocal range because she didn't sing like that in rehearsals. On stage, she gets into her "beast mode.

Angelina has stated she has never been nervous about any performance regardless of age.

Angelina Jordan Astar, this young norwegian lady is imo the best singer on the planet! I am 69 y old and have never heard a singer like her in my whole life.

Angelina 12 yo, make the orchestra leader freaking out. She show her upper range and belting power in this performance. And still make it look so easy! As usual, this is filmed, with a cell phone, by someone in the audience. The sound quality is affected by where the speakers are in relation to the phone, etc. You can still hear how amazing Angelina is!

You have hit it out of the park with this reaction. so informative. I love what you said about the crack in her last belt, that it could be seen technically as an "imperfection" but is really part of her unique, emotional style. No one does "imperfections" better than Angelina!

Jennifer, great reaction, as usual. AJ's vibrato is so distinctive -- she moves from a tight, semitone vibrato to a much slower, whole-tone vibrato in the same line, in the very first phrase, and pushes her vibrato from mixed-voice to chest-voice effortlessly. Her control over her voice is just insane. And at the same time, she is so aware of the players around her, riffing with the clarinet. Watch her attention move back and forth between the conductor and the clarinet throughout the performance. Just astonishing.

Angelina is all about the tricky stuff, able to navigate and express herself exactly as she wishes. Super reaction Jennifer, thumbs up, appreciate your time.

You’re starting to understand why Angels think she’s the best we’ve ever heard. I’ve watched all of your reactions to Angelina, I think. I don’t know of any singers, past or present, who could give us such incredible covers of Adele, James Brown, Queen, and Screamin Jay Hawkins. Angelina gives me my favorite versions of songs across five or six genres. And, believe me, you’ve heard great performances, but you’ve only scratched the surface.

Voice cracks are Angelina's specialty, Feeling Good and I'm Still Holding Out for You are two prime examples where they are part of the song, and actually improve them.

Fantastic reaction/analysis Jennifer. Angelina has the magical ability to blend with instruments and vary her tonal quality and intonations to match with the primary accompanying instruments which makes any song she does with a live band even more special. Apart from this aspect, the other thing that I think sets her performances apart from other vocalists is that she doesn't just use dynamics to provide variety within the performance but she couples it with changes in tone and voicing (head, chest, mixed, falsetto, etc.) with seamless transitions and then varies the phrasing slightly on repeated phrases so that it doesn't sound repetitious. Her performances are master classes in technique and nuance. I look forward to more reactions/analysis from you in the future. Keep up the great work.

How many singers, of any age, can be this epic whist entirely relaxed?! Great to see your take on it Jennifer.

Love the reaction to our Barefoot Princess! ♥👣👸🏻

Thank you for reacting to her as an artist and not as a 12 yr old! She's a master vocalist who does so many things that are taught, and so many things that aren't taught. I always enjoy your AJ reactions, keep em coming.

You can see at her left hand that she's so relax when she sings.

Fearless, incredibly talented, just a gift for us all on Angelina's journey

Great reaction to my fav girl ! Angelina is a natural stage performer and so effortless in her delivery ! I've always wondered how someone this young can command the nuances and technical skills required for this genre of music ! I can only assume her inherent jazz influenced early childhood contributes to her abilities to deliver ! I strongly believe Angelina is an extremely intelligent student who from a young age studied the great jazz artists her grandmother introduced her to ! Most importantly she is a great listener and must be able to mimic serious jazz techniques with her voice ! I have not ever heard anyone who has done it till Angelina came along ! Jazz is a very hard genre to master and usually takes decades to sound this mature even though her voice is still developing ! Jenn do you think her jazz background gives her the ability to sing many different types of sounds and cover so many different artists so well ! I'm assuming she is truly gifted and focused on her vocals and delivery ! I hope you continue your Angelina journey as we all have ! Your reaction and analysis was so wonderful and spot on ! I wish the audio in this video would have been better ! The wind instruments were too loud but I guess recording outside didn't add to the quality for sure ! You need to do a more current reaction to Angelina maybe one of her own songs like "Million Miles " live in the studio ! Too many to choose from and all are fabulous ! Thank you again for this reaction it was much appreciated Jenn ! 👍🤗🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️

As always, an educated and informative reaction. I liked the smiles coming from the lady clarinetist sitting right behind Angelina and then the conductor looking over at her at the 2:25 mark and shaking his head at a high belt I would love to see you and another of your countrymen (ladies) get together and that would be the Fairy Voice Mother. Lol, that would be an analysis to end all.

Jennifer, "It's a Angelina World"!

Brilliant reaction and analysis, thanks so much for sharing! 💖

Kid just rips the cover off this challenging piece and inspects the interior of it. The tiny imperfection is just her way of telling us "well, I'm still just a kid! Gotta leave something to improve on in future".

Awwwh Jennifer, it is so nice to see you come back with Angelina, love it. We Angel fans listen to reactors all the time and you always get the standard, that was amazing, or that was beautiful etc... It is always nice to see a professional such as yourself give us all more insight and knowledge into what this young lady is doing with her vocal instrument. I, for one really appreciate your analysis and sincere comments with my favorite vocal artist. Hopefully we will get to see more from you with Angelina, though I do realize you have much to do in your life. Would really love to see you compare 2 of Angelina's covers of "My Funny Valentine"...first one is a 10, sitting at home, no Mic and delivering a stunning version: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sZ25H4a2gPI.html, and compare it to her absolutely beautiful rendition at 16 years old, recently released, it is amazing: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bWiLOnHJYxg.html. Thank you Jennifer for considering this recommendation, you will not be disappointed.

You are 1 of the best reactor of Angie love it thanks jennifer

Just remember that this is probably recorded by someone in the audience with a cellular phone including the audio. Imagine this in a proper studio!!

Angelina’s imperfections are perfect.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that cracking voice is totally intentional. If not, it sounded spectacular to me.

By far the best voice I have ever in my life heard!! Every one of her songs. She has a voice but also knows how to use it n knows exactly where to place each note sooooo perfectly

Appreciate the technical aspect because it really illustrates how great she really is!

She is unic, the best...

I'm always amazed at her piercing - or rather - a slicing voice, almost sabre-esque. Some singers will belt this song using sledgehammer power, but she's got the same power but slices her way into our listening. I always appreciate that this conductor is well-familiar with AJ's power and vocal abilities, and they've rehearsed this number before - yet in the climax, she knocks him backward and he straighten, shakes his head and splits his face with a grin.

This girl has so many special treats to give out and some of them, she only gives out rarely. Her singing like this is one of them. 😎

Angelina Master Genius I love it 🥰

"Suspicious Minds" is her latest release! It to, will blow your mind, and she's accompanied by a two Grammy winning pianist. Same location near her LA home as her cover of "My Funny Valentine". It's also a gorgeous interpretation! Behind the scenes, you will see providing notes to a conductor or engineer, as in her cover video of "I put a spell on you". She's performing in Japan later this year too. They'll adore her.

The zoom out at the very end shows how huge the band is. It's hard singing with a large band. Angelina has no problems with it and she's only 12 year.

Certainly the GREATEST voice EVER !!! 💯🔥❤

Angelina is the barefooted Queen of Soul with a Thousand Voices! She weaves musical tapestries in all colors of the rainbow with her beguiling voice! Her musical artistry is second to none and it not something that can be taught. Soul + Music in perfect harmony!

This is an example of the versatility of our ethereal prodigy extraordinaire, Angelina Jordan. It is hard to believe that at 16 she is over 6 feet tall and still growing in statue and in ethereal talent.

Jennifer your review of AJ is very pleasing as well as AJ herself. I enjoy your beautiful expression and talent.

A 12 year old singing this our aj is so good there is no other like her

There is no doubt that she was at the edge of her belt limit and it is her vibrato that saves it at the edges. Angelina also has a natural rasp to her voice that sometimes will give way to the minutest of cracking but it is an endearing quality. Delbert McClinton the Blues singer will get those at the same point in his vocal range that lends itself to Blues especially. Angelina is a special singer and an even more special person.

Jennifer many thanks for another great analysis. Angelina was 12 years old for this performance and I love when she sings the blues. Jennifer thanks for providing links to the original video and to Angelina's Official RU-vid channel. I suggest you encourage your viewers to subscribe to both your channel and to the artists' channel. You will endear yourself that much more to the fanbase and those fans will be more likely to subscribe to your channel. Much love.

flawlessness,,,,,perfection,,,,,,sounds like something what is not real and alive,,,,people think they want it or need it,,,,,,,its a human trap most of us fall into,,,,,,,Angelinas most beautifull human imperfections and voice cracks are whats makes her so perfectly special and close to us,,,,,,,those imperfections connect her with the rest of us like a life line,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,she is once in a lifetime experience,,,,,,

Jennifer I really adore your channel and love the advice you give in not only the vocal aspects but using your musical theatre experience in teaching the physicality and dramatic deliverance of a performance making your advice very well rounded for future artists. Unfortunately, being a starving artist myself, I've been unable to afford a Patron membership yet. Well at least not until I get my credit card back to a usable level lol. But I would love it if you would still do reaction and review to my request of one of Angelia's Original singles, preferably "Million Miles" which she wrote as a tribute to her Grandfather who passed away. She really touched me in her live studio performance and showed me another level of her musical and artistic genius. I hope to see it soon. Thank you once again. Cheers, Rob M

Angelina is awesome!! loved your reaction Jennifer🤩

Thank you so much Jennifer for that awesome wonderfully nerdy reaction & detailed analyses, just the way we like it for (12) Angie. (The highest you heard so far is actually a F5 & with distortion on "I put a spell on you".) This performance you just reacted to, is one of 2 from the same song that are absolutely awesome & yet she did different arrangements on both. The other is from her Kongsberg Jazz festival concert, she gave it a more jazz club vibe & much more intimate, very sublime. Here's the link so you can react to it someday hopefully. (It's audio only) “It’s a man’s world” by James Brown ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rz0UcoAe0lQ.html live at Kongesberg in Norway 2018. It had a small Jazz club & intimate feel to it. Very different from the big out door concert & military band. Angie’s 12 here also. Please react to Angie's awesome cover. “You Make Me Feel So Young” cover by Frank Sinatra ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MQN3ecsutLs.html She’s (13). She did her hair & clothes in the era of the song. She's singing this in a type of duet style, this will really blow your mind. Her range in this song gets down into the 2nd octave. Maybe a G2-A2. (Always remember this, Angie never sings a song the same way twice, so you could say they'll all be 1st time reactions. Also you could do a double reaction on Angie & her 2 different arrangements from the same song, 1 at 10 from the full version & again at a recent 16 when she arranged it from a jazz standard. Here's links to them . “My Funny Valentine” from musical Babes in arms- 2/14/16 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sZ25H4a2gPI.html She’s 10 with no mic & just sitting on chair singing the full version for Mery her grandma who’s filming her. Angie does a great interpretation of this difficult song to interpret from 1937, (warning Cute factor at the end) “My funny valentine” covered by Ella & Sinatra ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ETGLbsGDAI0.html 2-14-22 Angie’s 16. She arranged this standard Jazz version. Verses doing the full version this time. Angie filmed this at the Melrose Gallery and Antiques in West Hollywood CA. It matches the song & her timeless voice.👣💎

Great job! Hope you’re feeling better….

Excellent review. I’m sure you have been asked to react to her version of My Funny Valentine. Unbelievable version. Keep em’ coming. Thanks

loved your reaction

Very interesting analysis 👍 thank you so much, I hope for more 💞✌️

Once again a wonderfully fun analysis! Thank you so much Jennifer.

Jennifer your always put a smile on my face your personality 👍

Every reactor adds to the analysis. You offer quite a lot of interesting details. Love it.

One of the things that amazes me about Angelina is that even from a younger age than this performance is that she arranges much of her music. Another great analysis young lady. Be blessed!

I absolutely love your reactions and analysis...lets me nerd out on the vocal side. Keep up the great work!!

Who does this at 12? A-bomb Jordan does! Her cracking voice and her occasional gravelly throat sound have become her "signature sounds" for many of us "angels." We listen for it and relish it when we hear it.

I always enjoy your analysis of Angelina's performances. You have just scratched the surface of her releases, and I will be there for as many as you do.

Up to 12, yes I think this is the highest at E5 that she does. After 12 she does push it as she gets older. I think Easy on Me is now the highest, unless I'm wrong. But she knows when to push it and when to keep it low and intimate. She isn't belting for the sake of it. She is keeping up with the band and where the arrangement is going. You can tell when the music is stripped down she doesn't belt yet still gives you different colors of her voice to not making things boring.

You make her even more amazing and outstanding with your analysis of the technical side of her vocals!!! Is that even possible?

Great reaction. This performance is one of a kind. Here I feel that she is using the strident clarinet as a base to rest her voice on - when it came to the belts she fearlessly lept off that base, only working out how to land when she was airborne- so relaxed and unassuming- at the end she appears surprised by the standing ovation by the band and the audience - just gave an extra curtsey - ready for the next song....

Great job Jennifer. You really are a breath of fresh air and in addition to your considerable vocal knowledge and insight, have quite the flair for comedic comments. Thanks for following Angelina!

Good comments, right spot on !

Great reaction and breakdown and it seems like a lot of you vocal coaches and singers that react are getting educated from her skills, God Bless!

Check out the 2nd clarinet at the beginning. Giant smile on his face. If people think that Angelina does all of these vocal moves and adornments by consciously making decisions on how to position her tongue, mouth, or any other physical action, I feel that they are mistaken. She seems to know what she wants and then she simply gets out of her own way and lets it happen. A bit like a professional golfer who visualizes the shot - making it curve left or right, high or low. The great ones simply allow their own talent to produce what's needed. This is akin to a 12-year-old shooting 9 under par after 18 holes.

i LOVE this video of her so much..i think it was the first time I heard her use more of a "powerhouse" type of voice, BUT the BEST part is that AH-DORABLE little curtsy haha

Angelina 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

❤ her

Incredibile Angelina.Dov'era questa creatura?Che voce,signori.Dove è nata,ad Harlem per caso?Sorprende anche la calma con cui affronta mostri sacri della musica mondiale.Sentirla sembra di sognare.Angelina sei grande.

Another brilliant in-depth reaction. Angelina is truly off the scale!

As always it's fun watching you react to AJ .thank you ,,oh enjoyed your performance outside with the band

Thank you for your insights, excellent analysis.

Young, Norwegian girl of 12, singing her rendition of a song that was made famous by The Godfather Of Soul, Mr. James Brown, and takes it 'effortlessly' past the stratosphere to a point where if she had performed it at The Apollo Theater in Harlem, NY, she would have garnered a 'standing ovation' from the toughest Black soul 'critics' on Planet Earth. Never heard of an individual White performer ever being able to do that.

Thank you for your reaction and your wonderful analysis! She is so magical! A wonderful performance by her.🙏🌟❤️

Luv your Angelina reactions... who cares about the crack, big or small, you enjoyed all those belting parts of her performance, so fun to watch you appreciate the ornaments she adds, techniques she mixes in, etc., etc., etc ,. In the end, it's a tasty, classy, invigorating dive into her absolutely fantastic world, pure talent, gifted voice and HUGE HEART for music.. thnx much for the chuckles, too, BTW... What next on your menu??? Will be waiting!! 🤗😉😁

Fantastic reaction / analysis Jennifer, I loved such. Is unique how she manages to make you discover unthinkable musical landscapes, which only she glimpses and creates. 💛 🧡 ❤️

Jen Hold your seatbelt you’re gonna need it you’re gonna need it you’re welcome. Bless my girl. What a big voice for this Norwegion 12 year old girl

There is a much better audio performance of this audio only performed 3 weeks later at a jazz festival with a better band... Search for it if you make yourself a little playlist and want to add this song to it KONGSBERG JAZZ FESTIVAL, JULY 7, 2018

There a very few singers that need their own yard stick to judge them by. AJ is one.

Fun & great reactionI! I hadn’t heard Angelina sing this song. So amazing!

It's a Man's World" Angelina Jordan, at the age of 13, delivered an amazing performance of the classic James Brown song "It's a Man's World" on a stage in Oslo, Norway. Her rendition captivated the audience and showcased her remarkable talent. The powerful lyrics and emotional depth of the song were beautifully conveyed by Angelina Jordan's soulful voice. It's no wonder that her performance left a lasting impression on those who witnessed it, (IMPORTANT: watch the orchestra members, and the director as she makes changes to the song that were not rehearsed.)

superlative reaction to a miraculous performance....

She is performing with a Norwgian military band. (They made an album together). The titles fits well with the band - The military forces are a male world.

Jennifer..... You are beautiful and charming. 😍

Excellent analysis, quite educational. Thank you.... 🙂👍

Your comment on highest for Angelina.... I do believe they had said that she hit an E flat 5 on her "cat cry" belt, when she did Bohemian Rhapsody on America's got talent, ... I do believe she has hit higher sustained belts since then.

Lady this is absolutely natural, she's not bothered about all the analytical portions of her vocals .

Jennifer fasten your safety belt you’re gonna need it you’re going to need it Your personality make me smile 😊

You have to look to the chief à 10:00 he is thinking "what's just happened !" ☺

ON A PHONE MIC!!!!

Very detailed and professional reaction. Thank you very much!

I really enjoy your analysis.

Include " you were always on my mind" and " million miles" both on the passing of here grandfather

Yes she is amazing. She is considered a Phenomena of our time. Do you realize your facial expressions when she hits certain notes? You listen and you hear it but it makes your face contort because of her tone her delivery her timing the air and the space between each word. It’s mesmerizing and intoxicating. I’m 60 years old and I’ve been a music lover my whole life there is no vocalist living today that has her God given talent.

I love Angelina. She either needs the big band or just the piano or guitar, nowhere in between. It's either really intimate and personal or grand and huge. Also, check out The Warning too. It's an all sister chick rock band and their album Queen of the Murderseen is an amazing Rock Opera.

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

❤️❤️❤️

nice explanations 👍

"So human-like!" Yes, exactly! You're smashing it too, hon.

11:05 your voice is doing quite well for being 'under the weather' ! Enjoyed very much your review of a 'little girl' that has provided major stress & tension relief for me at the end of a difficult day . . . . . Angelina is a Doctor .

It's AJ's World! 😮

Loved your reaction
