I am so bewitched by this child and her voice ... i listen to her every day ... seems such an unspoiled Girl ... I pray for her protection from the Industry. ..
Oh! My! Goodness! WOW! Even when she makes a mistake and realizes it, she is STILL mesmerizingly perfect!!!!! But the thing is that the "mistake" wasn't even her fault! It was the BAND and CONDUCTOR'S fault in having the tempo way too fast! That's what she was realizing and being annoyed with, even at this young age! Even her rehearsals are phenomenal! And the way she moves her arms and hands to the song is just a magical work of art in motion. I would have paid serious money to have just had the opportunity to be there and watch in person! She is astounding, not only as a first-class vocalist but as a special human being too!
She was clearly dissatisfied, and points her finger down indicating the need to reduce the tempo but also the volume of the piano. Because it wasn't just the tempo that was too fast, but also the way the piano played was wrong. Notice that in the first take, the piano is beating the rhythm (papapa papapa..) and in the second take it changes completely. She corrects the musicians and especially the pianist.
This girl, at such a young age knows how to work hard to be where she is at now. She knows well her craft and won’t settle for less. Indeed, She is music!! Hats off Angelina! Respect 💯 times!
Are you kidding me!? There is so much to take in watching this video. But, you know what? Just settle back, enjoy it, and understand someone like Angelina may come around once in a lifetime. In 2020 she has helped millions of people cope with all the stress associated with the virus. And, she gives comfort to those in need because that's what she does! A remarkable young singer with a voice that touches our hearts. Her heart overflows with love and will always reach out to support many humanitarian causes while, at the same time, remaining humble and so beautiful in the way she carries herself. Angelina, from your words in Million Miles, don't ever feel alone! We will always be with you. We love you very much.
such a fantastic womans voice in such a tiny little girls precious body! She has zero fear of audiences, such a sweet fantastic little girl that pleasures us all. A sheer miracle!
Here we see how she is not a child singing songs but an artist creating music, a musician creating art. She expresses her displeasure several times with the faster tempo in the first version. How many kids have you ever seen take charge of the music like that? Never.
I missed that at first but you are absolutely right! After the first version (where she really wasn't happy, lol) the tempo dropped significantly and then a bit more for the third and she was absolutely right - that was way too fast the first time. I just listened to the classic Etta James version and it was even slower than the third run-through. Same with Beyonce's version. That is a significant difference in tempo but not a huge one. It's amazing that a 7 y/o girl can recognize the difference but not a professional conductor...
Not only did she realize it was too fast for what she wanted to do but she got the people around here to adjust so third time they were in the pocket. That was anazing to watch. Even though I like Portrait of a Child and all the adjustments and arrangement compared to Portrait of a Man the best and video shows she was in command, this video clearly shows she knows what she is doing and has for a very long time in her very short time on earth so far. Simply incredible!!
It was an absolute torture to see her suffered through the fast tempo on the first take. Incredibly, even the adult professionals did not realize that the tempo was off and incorrect for the song. Angelina Jordan has been communicting with the grandma or her mom with hand gestures on stage or in the studio booth since she was 6 years old. It seems that Slapping down the left hand means 'this is bad'. And the quick sussession of the 'go away' gesture means 'stop the recording and taping for this is so suck'. At 3:18 on the second take, she's happy that the tempo came down quite a bit and you can see her hand gesture and a quick smile. She was in total control on the 3rd take and the tempo was brought to the right pace. It showed that she's such a pro at that tender age !
In the first part of the video (Take #1 of the song) I immediately noticed Angelina showing signs of nerves (a very new experience with Angelina Jordan after watching her sing over one hundred times with no sign of nerves whatsoever). The performance seemed rather disjointed and even stiff, unlike the usual connected, consistent, stable stream of beautiful, creative melodies that pour out through her voice as her heart emotes their interpretation at the feeling level. I listened again and noticed the impact of nervees first and immediately on her voice, which was not nearly as steady and rock solid as it always had been, even as far back as when she was 8yrs. old. I searched for other clues and noticed suprisingly that her eyes appeared to be wide open for the entire song, at least as far as I could tell considering the distance of the the camera from her and the absence of a zoom lense. I've always believed that closing her eyes somehow related to her traveling to that special place she often speaks of where she is calm, relaxed, joyful, and can effortlessly allow the music to flow through her. I wonder . . . ? So, with all the problems she had in the first performance I would rate it a 6.0 comparing it, of course, only to HER best. Please don't think that I am trying to criticize or belittle her in any way. I only had to hear Angelina sing two songs and she instantly became my favorite singer of all time. But being a musician (vocals, guitar, drums, bass, piano), a scientist, and a mathematician of more than 40 years my mind seeks to analyze and understand everything in spite of myself and often to my detriment. OK, in the 3rd and last time through the song, and if I remember correctly, the 2nd time as well, they slowed down the song's tempo, most likely as per Angelina's request. This did seem to help and it was very interesting to watch her in the last two takes attempt and often succeed in correcting many of the problems she had encountered in the previous take(s) With these next two takes Angelina progressed, ultimately receiving a score of 7, perhaps even 7.5 from me. But this is very unusual since previously my lowest rating for her on any performance has been aboùt an 8.6 with many a 10.0. Numbers of course are subjective and far from absolute and can tell only a small part of the story. They simply help our brain to categorize what we otherwise have trouble measuring, remembering, and communicating.
I got to laugh! You can see in the first take that she's not very satisfied so she has corrected the band before the nest takes. She is so professional....
What a hard worker !! Most children would stomp off snd whine and cry!! She is so focused determined and knows just what needs to be where!! She is a true professional on every level🤩🤩
She studies the lyrics hard. Practice, practice, practice make her perfect. I bet she listens to the originals over and over again until it become part of her and then once she is satisfied she kicks it out of the park. Her hard work at her age just amazes me. Just amazing. She is a excellent example for other kid to look up to and I bet all of her friends at school do to just that. I say it gain that her parents did such a great job with her. I can't wait until we see what direction her little sister goes. You can see the love between her and her little sister. Her little sister really looks up to her.
People talk a lot about her immense talent, and rightfully so. But not enough is said about the hard work and dedication this little (and now not so little) person has put into her craft. Talent is the seed. Her wonderful home is the soil. Hard work is the water and her beautiful personality is sunlight. Hmmm... maybe this is why she often has flowers on her head. :D
It just amazes me, that Angie, being a child has better work ethics than a lot of adults. She's such a little perfectionist. She expects a lot of her self & the same from those around her but in a loving & respectful way. Thank dear God for her.
This is the first video I have ever seen her show her displeasure with the band and she was so right way to fast for her wants and she showed her professional attitude through all it
She is just so, so good. Incredible to watch her at such a young age. Thank you to her Mom for recording all of these rehearsals. Can't imagine what the other musicians thought when they worked with her. They were in the presence of greatness!
The stink eye , I love it, omg this is hilarious, puff out those cheeks ANGELINA and give them the stink eye,oh my poor ribs.the guy with the Mike, "don't be given me the "stink eye".
EVERYTIME I WATCH AND LISTEN TO ANGELINA JORDAN..I AM COMPLETELY CAPTIVATED AND SPEECHLESS...BLESS HER AND HER FAMILY ✌️❤️🤗 PEACE LOVE HAPPINESS 🇺🇸🦅✝️🌎❣️
Wish I could hear what she said to them (in the cutout parts) as they in the second part they Slowed the tempo and cut out some of the jingle jangle in the Third try they slowed it even more and took out some of the loudest horns and finally harmonized with Angelina's Voice and At Last at the Concert itself it came Out Perfectly 🤗 Thanks for Your beautiful Upload 👍🙏👌👣 ~ OneLove ~ JBB
I could just imagine her saying something like, "Okay, fellas! We gonna do this, and we gonna keep doing it until we get it right! Savvy!? Okay, good; now let's take it again from the top, and this time, slow it down and make Etta James proud!" Lol! I know she wouldn't really say that because she's just too humble and sweet. But I'm sure she got her point across finally the third time. :D
Just amazing!! We feel so close to her, it's these personal glimpses into her life that we want to see. Like watching and sharing in our own child's growth, of course we want to do the same with our special angel. Thank you!!
Si realmente me encanta es admirable en una niña pequeña ,como tratan de mejorar a la orquesta ella misma trata de que se mejore y queda insatisfecha. Realmente una gran estrella nos mandó Dios , en estos momentos de tanta tribulación, egoísmos soledad , Dios nos mandó una ser muy especial fantástica. Disculpen que no escriba en inglés soy de Uruguay de l sur de América.
What I find the funniest is that Angelina is not happy with the fast tempo chosen by the director and his band, whereas I thought they was doing just fine. Another funny thing for me is to watch the way Angelina expresses her frustration. Another one: when she indicates that the words you smile apply also to people who are watching her. The last funny thing: the way she calls desperately for help. May I say that Angelina is perfectionist, and rightly so!
Rien n'est usurpé chez Angélina, rien n'est laissé au hasard, une main de fer dans un gant de velours ! Cette petite fille de 8 ans ici a déjà tout de la grande qu'elle devient aujourd'hui ! Comme quoi tout est mérité pour ceux qui se donnent la peine, une bonne leçon pour ceux qui pensent à devenir célèbre en se la coulant douce ! Je suis admiratif, merci pour ces répétitions qui nous apprennent beaucoup !
You can clearly see Angelina's frustration with the band. If they or the conductor were 'listening' to her, they would have followed her tempo. They probably thought they knew best....what does a little girl know! Their tempo was much too fast! Angelina knew just how she wanted it to sound! Good on her and her family. The third time round definitely sounded better! ❤🌹
Here it is January 2022. I listen to this almost every morning. Angelina sings softer and with more heart with each rendition. Talks to the orchestra to soften the sound.🌺
I have seen this rehersal rendition probably moe than 30 times nd I could be listening to this thousand times more and it would be like the first time, so much beauty only Angelina
Angelina is 10 yrs old here. Her knowledge of music and her voice is so clearly evident in this video. She knows what she wants, when the music is too loud, she has someone tone it down until she’s satisfied with both the volume and composition. Brilliant! Today is her 16th Birthday, join me in wishing her a very Happy Birthday.
sorry to be pedantic but my math tells me ANGELINA was still only 8 ,but I was never good at math, if I'm correct what a difference just a few months have made , from NGT,more teeth and a good deal taller.and the body language is hilarious.
She just knows instinctively what is going to work for her . Beautiful how she organised the entire constitution of the timing to work for her. This is an not be taught at her age
OMG. She’s 10 and she’s directing. Can you see it? Initially the Band was playing to fast and to loud. Her face said. It. Past the half way, they finally get it right. Truly amazing.
Thank you for this upload. It's always nice to get to see "the Boss" in action. It's like: - Hey guys, what's up with this tempo? Are you late for something else or what? Slow down will you. (only in a nicer tone).
I would love to know--did she at 8 years old slow the band down the second time or was it someone else's direction. That frustration was highly evident from the start. Just amazing how at that age she just KNOWS
Of course she knows: she's the one singing. (!) She'd probably sung along with the Etta James recording many, many times before this. The second take closely matches the tempo of that recording.
@@DonaldLancon Yes, and the third take was still a bit slower. In fact, even the third was still a touch slower than Etta James. And Beyonce's tempo is identical to Etta's. The expression was just priceless. But it's really not a big deal. A 7 y/o girl telling the orchestra to get their act together, that's what rehearsals are for!
She exactly knows everything about what she wants and what is all about! Just look at this rehearsal where she answered the pianist upon his question on which version to play: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FjbSTRonqEU.html Geir Stian Aaslund translation The conversation at the start. Angelina: "Then we take the Ella version" Pianist:"The Ella version?" A:"Yes" Pianist:" ???Why do you say that????" A:"Because now you played the Ella version!!" Pianist:" Right? Did I? Ok. Thanks!" making the rest of the band laughing at him 😄 Just by a couple of chords, she knows exactly what version it is.... Or this one where she says to the trumpeter which tone to use in the beginning @0:49" and the tempo at the end (@2:12" when she says "lang, lang"). ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BSm-oMgVCo8.html And this, since ever!!!
Had to watch this again even if my ribs are broken, Sam Evans below says" she gave them all the stink eye" oh god, play it again Sam, no flowers for this band.i reckon mum tore her off a strip , this never happens again, does it?
All this gives me the bizarre impression of an extremely talented child fighting against adults who think they know more than she does but are wrong. She knows more. Except for the pianist who follows her carefully, the others do their thing as if they were the stars of the show. The intro is too long, the tempo too fast and the sound too strong. It must be hard on the musicians' egos to be lead by an 8-year-old. A true professional.
It got slower and slower and better and better. AJ had better breath control than the horn players, but she whipped the into shape by the end. Their intonation improved on the last take as well. This was so cool to watch. Musical artistry at work.
That happens a lot when you record live music (with a single mic). You don't perceive it the same way if you're there in person because of additional directional auditory cues that are not well replicated in a recording, even a stereo one. The effect is similar to picking out a single voice in a noisy, crowded room: much easier to do in person than on a recording (or when using a hearing aid). That's why audio engineers are paid the big bucks…
@@DonaldLancon Okay. My son plays bass in his band and I have watched many "live" videos of theirs, yet, the vocalist is never "drowned" out in this way. I'll take your word for it though. Cheers.
Angelina was not happy and let then know it but she carried on she just knows exactly how she wants the song to sound like Angelina was brilliant as always the band was terrible 💖love from Denise in England 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👼🏻💖😘👋XX
She is OVER-CUTE!!!! My GOD how much i love this ALIEN from another planet! But the back-music does not stand up to her standard and quality..... In the second try they work better and i think she'd corrected them... :-D
