Angelina Jordan - Million Miles | Live In Studio Reaction 

Thank you for another wonderful reaction for this beautiful original song, Ashlena. Angelina ... this unique girl and her amazing family around her, they are truly a wonderful reality. This is a very sweet, deep and very intense song, dedicated with infinite love to the missing grandfather and to all the people who have lost someone, but it's also a song full of hope, with beautiful lyrics. Angelina is never what you expect, she is always beyond, she is outside the standard, however high those can be.💛🧡❤

Yes, so full of emotion. Love and loss with gratitude. When she has more life experiences she will pen some classics.

Ashlena, when Angelina was a little girl, her japanese grandfather took her with him into Oslo, where he helped the homeless community with food and sometimes, a job. The streets of Oslo saw her growing up. When he knew his time was coming, he told AJ: Stay true to yourself and you will never regret what you do. I´ll be on the moon, see everything you do. You'll never be alone. To honor her beloved maternal grandfather, she helps the homeless community in LA, but discreetly. We, the fans, only by chance, discovered it, but it is a fact. Lady be safe and sound. German greetings

Every time I hear this song I cry. Beautiful ❤❤❤

All Angelina, here at 14 with her first original release for Republic Records shortly after signing with them. Angelina did write this about her grandfather but said that it is for everyone who has lost someone close to them Thx Ashlena

New Subscribers for Angelina

A masterpiece song by 14 year-old Angelina

It is also my favorite of AJ. if I am not mistaken, there is a music video with drawings of her grandma...

Angelina released two other videos for this song. The audio you've heard was recorded live in the studio with some extra visuals added, whereas she initially put out a more produced version accompanied by animations she did with her grandmother, which she followed up with the same recording as a music video in which her younger sister Juliette plays a young Angelina and their uncle, Angelina's manager Michael, plays the grandfather about whom she wrote the song.

This song she wrote after her grandpa died. Their is three versions of it. The studio version,, the lyric version is her grandma's painting animated with lyrics, and then there is a home movie version at her grandma and grandpa's house (we think) the little girl in the video is her little sister Juliette playing a younger version of AJ and the man playing grandpa is her uncle Mike who is also her manager ,, Angelina wrote this about 14 years old and the studio version was sang when she was 15

She wrote this when she was 14 for her decised grandpa if you watch official video of that song you will see grandpa's picture on the wall Other her originals What is llife (11 years old) Oslo (11 years old best video is from kaleidoscop chanel) 7th heaven 15 years old) I have feeling I miss one but I suggest to check those.

Another note I just noticed you have not reacted to AJ on AGT2020 3 sings. The first she Makes her own version of Queens "BOHEMIAN RAPOSIDY" get ready for chills. And maybe a tear or 2. Then Elton John's Yellow Brick Road,,,, might take your breath away ,,,, then she brought the house down with "Some One You Love"

Probably been stated, but she wrote this about/for her grandfather that had recently passed away.

Thanks Ashlena 🙏 It's true, this song and performance felt so natural and genuine. Angelina poured her heart into this song in reminiscence of her late grandfather. One could tell that the words mean a lot to her. This song was written during the pandemic and many people who lost someone could relate to the feelings that Angelina expressed.

Revisit this song in her live performance from last summer in Norway.

Ashlena, you'll never have a disagreement on this being her best, from this group....then again, you wouldn't care if you did, that you're appeal. A lot of the choir is tired of being preached to. Luv yah. You just made me sign back up.

She wrote it in memory of her maternal grandfather but said ot speaks to anyone who has had a loss

Angelina wrote this song herself from my understanding.Ten years from now we may be talking about her as the greatest female vocalist on the planet

It's about the loss of her grandfather. And it is a stunning emotional vocal with her impeccable talent

Thank you Ashlena..this song is special to me. As special as this studio recording is, I was touched even more when Angelina performed it live during her July 2022 Norway tour. (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bnd-DkPzTPw.htmlsi=39JwVKvoiEbqDYqK) During her return to Norway, I felt like she really showed us the love for her deceased grandfather. This video also has the performance of "7th Heaven", the second original song she released for Republic Records (2021). I especially enjoy the acoustic guitar and stand up bass supporting her.

Thanks for your great reaction to & heartfelt appreciation of this amazing performance by Angelina - at age 14. This is an original song from Angelina & it was her 1st release after signing with Republic Records. Having lost my wife some years ago, I listen to this song every day. And while it always brings me to tears, that is always followed by a deep sense of comfort. Thank you for continuing to follow Angelina's music. Looking forward to more of your reactions. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.

Angelina wrote this song in memory of her grandfather but she hoped everyone who has lost someone could benefit from it. Her performance at concert in Norway of this song was even more amazing

Her words to her grandpa will have this effect on everyone that has lost anyone close. This was also her intention when writing it.

Angelina wrote this after the passing of her grandfather. Many of the lyrics come directly from experiences with him and things he said to her. I read in an interview that he had told her that he would be watching her from the moon and see everything she does which she references in the song. He used to take with him to feed the homeless which may be what the opening line “When I was a child I walked the streets…etc” is about. She said that he had told her that if she remained true to herself she would never have regrets so the line “I’ll never regret what I do” probably refers to this.

The artist and song which changed my life for the better, by giving me hope. I never wept to any song until "Million Miles" debuted. Angelina had, without me realizing it, moved me emotionally through the first 8 months of listening to her. I was then primed to properly finish the grieving process, after losing 5 loved ones in 3+ years prior to learning of Angelina. I truly believe the hardest part of slow walking Angelina's career was, this song remains relatively unknown to the general public. One of many reasons why I have introduced hundreds of people to Angelina in real life and likely thousands here on RU-vid.

She's the best female singer/songwriter alive today !!!

My Dear Ashlena, This is the one. That sent me down this road! I've since described my experience as The sound that crumbled the granite encased soul of a cynical heart. My best friend passed a month and a half ago and I had not grieved fully, my lose. Until a kid let me. Rb

You owe it to yourself to see it live from last summers concert in Norway. She reinvents it to make it pull 2x harder. Trust me

I think she was about 13 or 14 years hold in this video. She is now 17 years old.

Angelina was Norways youngest published author at 9 years old. Non of her family were singers or musicians. Her grandma was also a child prodigy a poet and artist. She encouraged Angelina to keep a diary from a really early age. This is why we know she has plenty of material ready to develope. ANGELINA wrote SHIELD and performed it at 12. She may only be 12 but its a great song.

Absolutely phenomenal original from Angelina, not her first original but her first original after signing with Republic Records aged 14 years old, the song a tribute to her Grandfather who passed away, and became a song for many to relate to due to the pandemic where people had lost loved ones, Shout out to the pianist two times Grammy Award winning Rob Christie the musical director of Republic Records, great reaction thanks 🙏

Love that this song found a place in your heart ❤️ Million Miles is very special to me because its have helped me heal my loss of my dad at a very young age ❤️ My dad was only 37 years old when died and i was only 13 years old then. At both concerts in Norway last summer she performed this song even more emotional and incredible and you have to listen to it ❤️ That ending still rings through my heart and soul ❤️ Both the Kongsberg and Sandefjord performance of Million Miles was incredible 👍 Wish you an amazing day 👍

I think we're all touched by the song and it will forever be a fan favorite. ❤

Why would it be controversial? You have about 150 more videos to listen to, it's the most beautiful song...so far.

S She was very close to her grandmother, and that’s where it takes me

I agree. This was and still is my favorite original song of hers. It’s so beautiful and perfect.

14 . wow .

Wow! Without knowing who and what this song was about it obviously is having the effect that she had hoped. She wrote this song. Nice reaction and I'm happy she made you happy😊❤️👣

She is so steeped in phrasing from standards that her tone sounds like something we heard years. So evocative and really sets the feeling of memory and melancholy. Good reaction, thank you

A great reaction was about her Grandpa she wrote/composed who had passed! You need to listen to her singing this song at her at her last summer concert, she was 14, God Bless!

Original that takes my breath away and melts my heart every time I listen to it, to think that a 14 year old girl has the ability to create a masterpiece like this excites and scares me at the same time, Angelina, in live concert, the sings slower and more touching and I don't deny that I shed many tears, thank you so much Ashlena, nice review as always, from Italy..Massimo

"That was the most beautiful song I've ever heard her sing." Hey, Ashlena. Nah, that's not controversial. How could it be? It's how you really feel (and likely how a lot of us feel, too, although many Angels never publicly pick a "favorite.") It's a lovely, heartfelt original song with emotionally meaningful and relatable lyrics that she sings with both delicacy and power. I cannot wait to hear her perform this live in September. Thanks for another great reaction. Have a terrific week.

Ok now u got another of my favs on your list. Got to follow and see where you go next.

An original classic by Angelina, the perfect way to start the day in the UK ( 7 am ) . Such a wonderful tribute to her granddad, brings a tear every time ( 1000 + ) . It is not only my favourite AJ track but in my top 5 ever. She did a live version in Norway last year and slowed it down even more and it is Stunning. Wonderful reaction, love the passion for this performance.

Great reaction! ❤

So amazing that it made you think about your grandmother since she wrote this song about her grandfather shortly after he passed. Knowing that about the song, listen to it again. So many of her recent videos show her interacting with her grandmother. Family has always been so important to her.

The song have served it's purpose with you, great reaction ashlena

About her grandfather who died when she was young,she wrote this herself

You earned my sub for this reaction. As others have said this song is about her grandpa who passed..he used to walk the streets with her whilst he helped the homeless in Oslo when she was a little girl. When they both knew his time was near he reassured her that he’d be on the moon watching down on her and that she must never regret what she does..Thx for this.

You’re not the only one blown away by this song. It was upon hearing this very song that drove the decision of the president of Universal Music Group, owner of Republic Records, to to sign her up ASAP. That was when she was 14.

Great reaction and there are many similar reactions from people who have also lost. But this song wasn't written for her, it was written by her. Both music and lyrics are largely her own. Her feelings in the song are genuine and in an interview she once said that she actually struggled emotionally singing the song. With her originals What is Life - Shield - Oslo - Million Miles - 7Th heaven and the new EP, Angelina proves that at her young age she is not only one of the best, if not the best singer. She is also a great songwriter. The compositions and also their lyrics are absolutely amazing

Everyone has the right to have a favorite Angelina Jordan song; it's in the Constitution or something. :D This song was also written by Angelina, about the passing of her grandfather. I loved your reaction, Ashlena. I also love your glasses. I think it's time for me to get some new frames....

❤

This is her song she wrote. And this is my fave version of it where she sings it live.

I MUCH prefer this voice over the raspier one that she's more known for. Again, everyone have different tastes!

🤘♥️👍

Great Reaction 🙏👍👣but the music volume is so low 😢

Since you mentioned you listened to the song a few times, it'd be a shame if you didn't check out at least one of the other 3 versions (official video, lyric video and live in Norway). This one from her Kongsberg concert has a slower tempo, but her vocals and emotional infusion, especially the chilling primal wail at the end, is off the charts stunning: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-joKQeVbThzE.html

Angelina lost both of her grandfathers within a very short time, she sang a song after her first grandfathers passing that is almost unwatchable, not because it isn’t one of the most beautiful performances she has ever done, but because of the emotional transfer, as you should know by now Angelina can transfer emotion in a song and make you believe everything she sings, and it’s been that way since she first auditioned for Norway’s Got Talent, but when Angelina’s emotions are raw, the. She transfers so much emotion that it’s almost unbearable. Her artistry is not just being able to sing, it’s the ability to emote which brings the viewer, or listener, into her space. That cannot be taught, it can be developed to another level, but that’s something she was born with, and it should be no surprise, the way she approached that other little girl when she was 6 and gave that girl the shoes off her feet, should tell us everything we need to know about the kind of person Angelina Jordan is, and the person she will become!

Here is a playlist with all of her originals, with the older self-(co-)written ones done at multiple occasions: ru-vid.com/group/PLddfS789jBCows3lQAxFixqTj_rFbGFLM

It was about her grandfather

I have watched this video at least 100 times, and watching you as you watched it, it brought tears to my eyes yet again. THIS is why I watch 'reaction' videos. For the persons 'reaction'. I enjoy their thoughts on it at the end, but for me, it ruins the flow of the song when they pause so often and talk for several minutes during the song. Great job young lady. I subscribed and will have to go back and check your other Angelina reactions. (Hers are the only reactions I watch) Keep up the great work! You may want to check out a song that was written for her to sing, by a fellow Norwegian duo called TRXD. The do EDM (electronic dance music) and this is one that shows angelin can handle any genre. The song is called "Above The Water" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rpdHJJQAd9Y.html This was released just after her appearance on AGT: The Champions

her Grandfather.

Ashlena, great reaction. Please react to AJ performing this original live, slowed way down, and with a band. It's like another song: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-joKQeVbThzE.html

Passing of her grandfather, what is about comets follow

I'm starting to notice something...does she always sing barefoot?

This is not a song written for her, it was written by her in memory of her maternal Grandfather.
