ANGELINA JORDAN - SPEAK SOFTLY, HOUSE OF THE RISING & KILLING ME SOFTLY | REACTION 

Jesse thanks for another wonderful reaction and analysis to our barefoot princess. I now make sure to watch 2 videos per day in their entirety, from either Angelina's Official or Cover channel. I ensure the like button is engaged and I post a new comment, read other comments and click the like for the ones I enjoy and sometimes reply to comments. This is the most direct way any angel can support Angelina on RU-vid. If enough angels do the same, then RU-vid will recommend her to millions more. Still allows plenty of time to watch your favorite reactors, hopefully the ones who have taken the time, like Jesse, to learn a few things about her.

Angelina is such a boss. She knows how the arrangement should sound and politely gives the conductor her constructive advice.

Angelina performs to an audience of 300,000,000 television viewers all over the world. 2022 FIFA awards singing "We Are the Best"

While I was filming this, I was amazed at how good killing me softly was. Great use of negative space, great combination of the Roberta flack style with the Fugees/Lauren Hill style, nice and LONG, and, those vocals!

Thanks for another double song reaction for Angelina Jordan. I really think your breakdowns are the best of all of the reactors. I do not know much about the band, stage and sound setups and I find that to be very informative. Keep up the great work and if you can try to react to Angelina's FIFA Awards 2022 show performance. The song was pretty cheesy but it was more about getting her on stage in front of a HUGE worldwide TV audience. She nailed the song as usual and looked like a supermodel on stage. Worldwide viewers are said to be over 300 million. That number sounds crazy and I cannot verify it myself. Considering the World Cup final had 1.5 billion viewers I would not be surprised at a 300+ million audience for the awards show. Anyway, it is a monster moment in time for her singing to that many people worldwide. A dream opportunity for any performer!

In Killing Me Softly, once the drum starts up, Angelina is doing this crazy thing where she is swerving her voice all over the place, and yet somehow at the same time also driving a strong rhythm. I don't know of anyone else who can do that like that.

Awesome reaction and that's why I call her The Master of Music, God Bless!

This is the brassband from the Norwegian army so this are really good musicians. They have done several things together with Angelina since she has won Norway Got Talent. She really is a Norwegian treasure.And here it is all about what Angelina is asking them to do: she is in charge here...

The band has been her original band since she was 8 years old while she was living in Norway, so she is very comfortable with the them. Blessings from South Africa

I agree with your analysis of the change the orchestra made. Interesting to watch you count it out. Your reactions are always so informed, since you appreciate the nuances of Angelina's musicality. Thanks!

Her singing is amazing, but her technique and arrangement is pure Genius.

She looks absolutely incredible in these Norway performances. A true majestic queen.

The velvety tones in this song are GORGEOUS. With practice, and deliberate practice and experience your KNOWLEDGEABLE don’t second guess yourself

About Speak sofly love. The result is on the Album "It's Magic" with Angelina Jordan and the Norwegian armed forces as track 15. It is on Spotify and more.

Her rendition of Killing Me Softly is an underappreciated gem.

I am always very impressed to see how Angelina can read the lyrics while singing and not miss a beat.

The incomparable, impeccable, Angelina and her magical voice. Doesn't matter how many thousands of times I've heard her sing, first of all it will never be enough and I will never tire of that voice. Very much appreciate your reactions sir, thumbs up.

Man, you can really sing too! So cool. I sang in 2 different choirs in my little town…. I love Angelina Jordan! Heavenly voice! What an Angel!

At the rehearsal she's either reading lyrics or booking dinner plans from her cell phone....amazing either way!

Great attention to detail, Jesse. I loved that jazz band behind her exquisite vocals

They’ll follow her he said

Some additional information about the first video here: This rehearsal was (not surprisingly) from just before she recorded her _It's Magic_ album with this band (FSMK, for short) in late November 2017 (so the rehearsal was probably from earlier in the same month). There are 4 other similar videos on her Fanclub Mosarz channel (where this one came from) from the same pre-album rehearsals, and 10 more recorded in the same venue about 7 months later, when they were preparing for the "CD release concert" the following June. The album itself was, of course, recorded in a "proper studio" called Rainbow Studio (and there are Mosarz videos from those sessions, as well), but this rehearsal space is called Ridehuset [The Riding House]. It was built in 1824 to house the royal riding stables and later repurposed as a rehearsal and performance space for Riksteateret [The National Theatre]. It was refurbished in 2007, with improved acoustics, for use as a rehearsal space for FSMK.

An Angie fan said “you want to hear song, listen to anyone else; but if you want to FEEL a song listen to Angelina 😊

Speak softly love on her, "Its Magic album " is one of my favourites, with sound well balanced and that angelic voice it touches something inside me.

I loved this analysis! The roots of "House..." go 'way back (the words "New Orleans" are recent). The true origin isn't completely clear, but probably from Old England (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_House_of_the_Rising_Sun). Of course, the Animals made it famous more recently. 👍🏼👍🏼

I listen to Angelina every day.I get happy every time I see her. For me she's the best!!! Thank you,

The House of the Rising Sun......the first song to ever cross lines to become Folk Rock that hit the #1 Billboard Charts first in England, then 2 months later in the USA by Eric Burdon and The Animals in 1964.. It became their signature song......although it was done on Bob Dylan's original debut album off the same arrangement......but not on electric guitar. The song is of unknown origin, but has been documented as being sung in the USA as folk music all the way back to the 1860s. I'm a subscriber from Texas and like your Reaction Channel......keep it going.

Likely a military base . the band is " forsvarets stabsmusikkorps " a Norwegian military staff band , rehearsal for the album " it's magic " recorded November 2017 .

World-class singer !!!

This girl just slays everything she covers ! Great reaction once again sir ! Go Angelina !!!!!

_The Staff Band of the Norwegian Armed Forces_ has it's rehearsal studio in the old riding stables at _Aakershus Fortres_ in Oslo

What a awesome triple play and reaction . Thanks. Love the Kongsberg concert. In the 1st one (rehearsal) Angie was 12 and that was for her 2018 concert with the military band. It was really nice performance on stage where everything was worked out (she wore white). Now later that year for her (I think it was her 2018 Christmas) Concert she redid this song with her small stage band & it was very different and beautiful (she wore red). Please react to that. You'll really love it. ❤👍👌

Another reactor, who spoke Norwegian, described the scene as Angelina suggested a certain way of sing the piece and the band master basically telling the troops that they're just going to follow Angelina's lead.

I personally find the "correcting" misleading. What I see is very professional teamwork on the same level which for a 11 or 12 year old is amazing.

Speak Softly Love on her album, It's Magic, is absolutely magnificent! In fact, it was the reason I fell in love with Angelina's voice, hook, line and sinker. The word 'beautiful' does not capture the richness, subtlety, passion, vulnerability and more just in the opening lines. As for who first sang House of the Rising Sun? That's an interesting question. The earliest version I know of is by Roscoe Holcomb, and it's all on one chord. Woody Guthrie sang another version, then Dave van Ronk was about to record his version when Bob Dylan pipped him to the post for his 1962 debut album (van Ronk says Dylan "stole" his version, but Bob's is different). Then The Animals picked it up from Dylan and made it a smash hit in 1964. Then everybody sang it. Did you like the way Angelina pronounced 'sewed' as 'sood'? Understandable, of course, but I wonder why no one ever corrects her occasional mispronunciations.

Thanks a million Jess, a triple play is really great, especially with Angelina, the more the better. Loved you comments and different takes on these completely different songs from her. Really happy you chose the "Big Angie Fan" Chris Walkers videos from Kongsberg....pretty much the best available from hand held recordings. Hope this triple play did not burn you out for to long with Angelina my friend, always enjoy your reactions and comments. Need to send you a few more on Patron...😁😁🥰🥰

Very detailed análisis here, thanks for taking your time.

Hi . Your knowledgeable insights are always appreciated. Thank you for giving this the time it needed.

Nice job on all three. Thank you.

That was a quick half hour. Well spent, THANKS

Am63, here in the Philippines i love her very much...

Thumbs up 👍

Thank you for taking your time on this one. I always appreciate your insights.

As I hear it. One if the guys in front says " she is singing fantastic, can't we just follow her" pretty awesome for someone playing clarinet for years probably, just thinking, ok she knows what she is doing. I'll just follow and it will be great😊

So great! Nice reaction.😎🇸🇪

She does use shoes during rehearsals.

Thank you 👍👍😊😊

Great reaction!

Regarding your comment about AJ's band mates lugging around the Rhodes. She's a milionaire signed with Republic. The heaviest things they lug around are cell phones. 😊

Great reaction, nice to react to multiple tracks

Killing me Softly….this is the most raw and raunchy version that I’ve heard. I think she’s not just singing the song, she’s taken on a persona like she’s acting out a role in a movie. Definitely seems to me like she has a character and an occasion in her mind when she’s singing this. There are some rough edges she’s putting in there on purpose. It’s very cool what she’s doing.

This was one of the rehearsals for the album It's Magic

This is a rehearsal not a performance or official videos. Great reaction.

Angelina usually wears shoes during rehearsals.

Wow. A triple feature! 🌺

FWIW, when the conductor comes up close to the camera and writes on the score, he is simply speaking the lyrics that come just before the crescendos you were talking about. As he writes, he says, "when we are one". I guess either the words were wrong on the score or they were in the wrong place relative to the music.

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Beautiful ❤️

♥♥♥♥♥

This was a loooong one, but great to watch. Thank you

🥰🥰🥰🥰

Her hair piece is a tradición in 🇳🇴 Norway

👏👏

Great reaction, as usual.

It's not they. It's her. She tells the conductor how the orchestra should play that particular passage.😉

Excellent reaction and analysis! If you’re interested, here’s the link to the live version she and the band did of the song in the rehearsal. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xrgTuAxXd2g.html

In the front of the big auditorium is the back of the auditorium. Hold hundreds of people.

Where they’re at the concert hall it’s about 10,000 people preparing for concert tonight you’re going to get up they bring everything in the back doors out front concert hall Rollin Rollin Rollin to see the balcony there in Oslo Norway

😎

Angelina Jordan got the Subaru commercial

Can you react to Angelina Jordan singing "All i ask" by Adele. You er my favorite reactor🤩

This is a militar Norvegian band !!!

Jesse, please consider this for your next Angelina reaction. CRY ME A RIVER with a small jazz band. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jV8HIVL2VDE.html It’s a masterpiece. She was 11 1/2. Better in my opinion than her performance a year later with the military band. They turned it into a Bond theme. Would be interesting if you compared them. Thanks.

Interesting that it is Angelina who instructs the conductor how it is meant to sound, not the other way around. 😂

Try Emma Steinbakken and KORK covering Brothers in arms 😍

I've always disagreed that she was correcting the band. The were rehearsing and corroborating on the arrangement. That's what rehearsals are for.

👍🏻

Angelina broke your camera? Good work ! Cheers from Aus 🦘🇦🇺

Don't understand the perception that she is correcting anyone here. They seem to be collaborating, as any singer and band would do.

Her final note in speak softly is heavenly sing. I mean in the final version, not in this one that is still far from it.

Is that Radio Shack mic ?

Jesse, think you will love this, slower version of Million Miles ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-clH0PC4PEPQ.html

In the front if I bring Stephanie Michelle Davis it’s not a hanger at the concert hall part of your house by chance I will be out front so tomorrow Lora Sprague Bailey play roll time is not a hanger

Angelina only perfomens barefoot, this was a reharchel.

I would take the conductor would have been humiliated buy a 12 year old girl amazing
