This is hands down my favorite performance of this wonderful song. When she crescendo's on the chorus, it feels like I've died and gone to heaven. STUNNING!!!
This is just magic by.Angelina it’s her at her best simply beautiful Hope your ok Ellis sending you all my love God Bless and take care Love 💕 from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴👼👼👸🏻👸🏻👍💕👏👏👏🥰👋
There is always a chance that a great child singer will go through changes in their voice that will take away some, if not most of their vocal qualities. Not Angelina. During the last couple of years, her voice has matured into something even more beautiful, that touches you right to the soul. Such an amazingly wonderful soul-healing sound. I am in awe of Angelina Jordan.
Thank you for your words Ellis. Also for your journey with Angelina, it helps me I listen to her everyday. The table reference is right on. Thumbs up sir.
Thanks for sharing your big smile and wise words with us 💖 Your comment about people only wanting sunshine all the time made me remember Winnie the pooh. He said, about the big tree outside, that was blocking the sun, that he really liked it, because when he had enough of the sun he could go sit in the shade under the tree, without this tree he had no place to escape the burning sun. He also said, about the rain, that he really liked the rain, because when it rained he could go outside and jump and splash in the puddles, he couldnt do that when the sun shined all day 😊 Until next time, take care 🌹I
Ellis, always love your insights into the non-Angelina components of the performance. She killed this performance for a 25 year old, but AT 13. Blows me away every time.
Beautiful performance and your review was absolutely excellent. We all go through dark times at some point and we all deal with our grief differently and I wish you all the best
Ah, scandinavian summer with the festive sound of loud speakers echoing in the forest. Angelina out singing poor Adele and i’m hoping for Skyfall, with all notes properly covered by Angelina.
Loss is very very hard, but as long as we're still here, there's music. So glad you got to join in a marvelous musical session right when it was most needed. Love what you said about the way a song like this depends on all the musicians being in harmony. Wonderful reaction.
Nice to listen to your views on Angelina. I know you want some new talent to listen to but lucky Angelina does a variety of covers not all the same genre. So Don, t give up on her now she is 16 will be getting more from her soon but her family wanted to her finish school first so soon she will be doing more. Be patient she will be writing her own stuff soon.!
Great music , as you said it's the package , that what the ears like , and AJ voice in this instance was stunning . Thank you for your reaction , thumbs up to you 👍
Thank you for your open words. I hope you can cope with your loss. Angelina´s singing is like balm for our souls hopefully for yours as well. Please react to her version of "Crazy" from the same concert. OMG more than wonderful and mindblowing.
Good to see you back. I check your videos everyday. As others mentioned, I love your smile as well. You seem to me to be totally real in your comments and actions.
Thank you for your prologue. It was very thought provoking. I live very near to Vermont, and the joke in these parts is that it actually has a fifth season between winter and spring... mud season. Recently, I read an article about the changing of the seasons and the author postulated that there is also a SIXTH season experienced in Vermont; what she called “Stick season”. It is quite possibly the least appreciated of the seasons... that period of time when all appears dead. The splendor of autumn has passed and the cleansing snow and coldness of winter is yet to appear. The melancholy of stick season is absolutely palpable though. It is something we all have to go through, just like dealing with the death of a loved one or dear friend. We will ultimately embrace the coldness of winter and anticipate what lies beyond it, whatever our beliefs are. I send my condolences to you and to all of those that cared about your departed acquaintance. 💔 Another nice reaction/analysis Ellis.
The first 3 min and 15 seconds were epic. The rest was a really great reaction, as always. I'm really happy to see you in a better state of mind my friend. Time is a healer. I really do appreciate that you continue reacting to Angelina. You are my favorie reactor and Angelina is my favorite female singer. Can't beat that combo. Take care my friend and you'll see me in the next :-) Love from Norway.
Ellis, loved your smile when she took it up a notch. Angelina singing an Adele song is always special to me and she really brings it in these concert performances. Interestingly (or maybe not), Angelina has shared a life view in her originals that mirrors part of your intro. . She tells us to "live life with the good and the bad" ("What is Life") and that "life should be lived with hope" ("7th Heaven"). Sage advice from an 11-15 year old. Life is always about change. I'm glad you have music to help you get through some of those changes. Many of us use music (as players or listeners) in a similar way AND, as it turns out, Angelina helps many of us to deal/cope with life's vagaries "better" than others have done through our lives. Music IS cathartic and she gets us (some of us) right in "the feels". Thanks for sharing last time.
Welcome back, Ellis! Glad to know you had a good time. I like your rambling, thats what we need these days, more rambling. The ability to sit back and let thoughts and words flow. It's not random, because it is the reflection of an experience, and I notice you always manage to connect it up. It's one of two reasons I watch your reactions - you talk about the musical experience and listening to you I pay attention to things I wouldn't have. Like in this instance, the guitar. Thank you.
Good to see that you have recovered from the low feeling you had last time! Great words of wisdom in the intro. Yes I like this one more than the other one! Here Angelina is really in the groove, she soars off into another world, at the end she is startled by the audience, as she suddenly lands back on Earth!
Hey Ellis. Awesome to see you again and thank you for that great opening. Yes, the truth to what you were sharing and it does tie in to one thing. The music we listen to and how a song can make us navigate through all of our ups and downs...regardless of the SEASON. I felt your pain in your last video. To still come on a do a reaction only shows your subs, your fans...the man you truly are. Something else I love about this reaction/song was not only the outstanding instrumentation but you can hear the speaker placement (the reverberation of Angelina's voice) throughout that small setting. A very clean audio to a magnificent voice. Best of luck moving forward. Always love your reactions.
Glad to see you back Ellis & doing better. I'm very sorry for your loss & am glad to see you doing better. I see you haven't reacted to Angelina's original song, Million Miles, about the loss of her maternal grandpa. She said she wrote it for anyone who has lost a loved one. Although it is sad, it's also uplifting & healing at the same time. There are 4 versions, but my favorite is the "Live in studio" version & I think you would love it too. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3KxvwuZ7oEM.html
Hey Poker Face..... Ellis- I can only imagine the smile on your face when you draw, say a full house.... or flush!?!?..... so nice to see that smile- so REAL.... oh, that's right, this is about Angela... not you- well, I think it is about you (in some ways), 'cuz if we ALL didn't think so- you wouldn't have over 200K followers- thank you Ellis- we all got your back!
Welcome back. So glad your back. It's great to have awesome friends like you have. Even for me I the few bright are so much more appreciated and enjoyed because of the darkness. You're a bright point if you don't already know. Wow I've missed your reactions. Always on point. I've heard Angie sing this Acapella with her cell phone. It was gorgeous. But it was like the most beautiful spring sun you've ever seen but without the blue sky, the breeze, birds, trees, etc. You're wearing a hat. Do you need to wash your hair again?
Great to see you back, Ellis. Managed to comment and view your last Angelina video twice before you took it down. As you know, most Angelina fans are an older demographic. We've experienced loss and failure so we can empathize with the pain and suffering you're currently experiencing. Time does indeed heal all wounds.
Ellis I'm a huge Angelina admirer, and l know it's icing on the cake when the singer and the band are tight, that's what jazz is about, playing together and separate,( rehearsal, Angelina, Portrait of a Man aka Child), the enhanced version, so you can read the subtitles from Norwegian, just thought I'd say that. Now for seasonal life perspective, l strongly encourage you to listen to " Betty Carter, doing Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most."
Ellis, great to see you back. I think music, in any form, is something that separates us from other species. I have never seen a tiger dancing to "Sweet Home Alabama", or a spider monkey listening to Beethoven or Mozart. Music lets us share our joys, our sorrows, our anger, our frustrations, or our feelings of love and serenity. I'm sure that helped you in your time of loss. I know it helps me. Keep doin' what you do so well!
I rather like your ramblings, and I’m sorry winter came visiting in the middle of summer. As you say, life happens. I listen to music as a way of lifting my spirits when I’m down, and find it enhances life when it’s good. Art is the same, and nature. I’m fortunate in having a lot of nature on my doorstep, and the seasons are very clear there, in tooth and claw. Sorry for your loss, winter can be so cruel 💕
agreed for all of your thoughts. Glad you are back. yeah thats life. we have to be strong to keep going. i love Angelina's voice in this song. yeah i love this one better, same like you. 😟your story reminds me of mine, like i ever told you before, 😞 and oh, so, your hair always dirty if you wear that beanie hat? all of the videos on your instagram when you were played guitar wearing beanie hat = your hair is dirty? why you wear that hat only when your hair is dirty? my opinion you also looks gorgeous wear that hat though. Do you remember, when i show you my sketch ? the pic of you? thats because i think you are also looks gorgeous wear that hat 😀 thats why i draw it. thats my favorite part. ahahaaha. actually i really want to send it through email. but im not sure if you interest with it. i love to draw people who are my favorite. have a good day Ellis.
For those who don’t think Angelina goes to another place when she sings should watch as the song ends. You will hear and see her come back as she realizes the audience is there.
Heyy dude I lost 3 people in the last 6 months sometimes life sucks.. My favourite time is spring... When everything is coming to life again and you know that summer is just around the corner.. Heyy man my thoughts are with you xxxx 🙏😊😘🇬🇧
I hope you're doing better, Ellis. My heart goes out to you. I always appreciate you being open with us. It's good that you took a few days off- you need a break from the camera every once in awhile (even if the reason for the break isn't always a happy one). I'm glad you had your stage experience again. As far as covers go, this isn't one of my favorites from Angelina. Love Story fell a bit below the bar for me too, so I'm hoping something I see you react to from her soon will be a little more to my liking. Can't wait to see you react to D.O. Rose and Si Fueras Mia and EXO No Matter. Not sure if you know, Jackson Wang dropped an amazing new song too called Drive You Home. Thank you for making my morning a little bit brighter.
So I've been waiting for you to get to this one. My 👁️ is on you hard on this song. I'm letting you know now, I'm skipping the three and a half minute intro to write this. Not that it took me the whole amount of time 😜. Let's go... You held back on that first smile that cracked through, but I get it, It was a nice touch with the applause at the first pause. Absolutely agree about the importance of the ensemble. Agree also that the guitarists place was in back, but thankfully as the one piece that had him in front that day was not him having a good day, although that is not the case on this. But as to "the band" and her: Part of her greatness as an entertainer is how well she can play off of and with her accompanists. Her call and response instincts at ten were already pro jazz session level. Here she's 13. This is as good as anything "in the industry" and far better than most in my estimation. Definitely my favorite of the recordings from that day but two others come close. You're a pretty remarkable reactor in your own right. I'll go back soon and watch the intro that I skipped this time. ✌️💖
Music can be so cathartic. Question from a non-musician - Would mic's pick up natural echo effects due to venue location, or is what I am hearing in this performance all electronic?
Yeah mics can pickup reverb. The amount depends on mic type, settings, placement etc. that’s something audio engineers are good at knowing about. I don’t know much about it.
It would be wrong to say the drums aren't important or the bass isn't important? OK, let's test that hypothesis. [wink] She sang this same song with only an acoustic guitar accompanying her, in a live stream about a month before this concert. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BnMyaXAsVSo.html See what you think of that version. I think the point people are making is not that you can remove any particular instruments from a given performance and it'll sound just as good, but that she can make a song sound good regardless of what instrumentation she chooses to sing over, including none at all. I see you've reacted to a cappella performances in the past, but I don't think you've ever reacted to a solo artist singing that way (singing over one's own looped vocals doesn't count). Please consider reacting to Angelina's most famous (and most consequential) a cappella performance: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LXknLZDoRVQ.html (this is her rendition of "I'm a Fool to Want You" in the second round of _Norske Talenter_ [Norway's Got Talent], soon after she turned 8).
Can I ask a question not related to this video??! You see am an exo-l and I was searching RU-vid for honest reactions video coz I get to feel so proud of the boys when someone is praising them and their talent and I found ur exo playlist and I loved how u became a fanboy to exo but I was shocked that the last video in the list was a year ago coz u're very determined that you will attend their next live performance and I felt like you're really into them so why did you stop reacting to them? Did you lose ur interest or u don't like them anymore or what happened?? Pls answer my questions am really disappointed and curious at the same time😔
I think he did some exo videos a month ago, so maybe the playlist just wasn't updated? I also think he's had copyright issues with some Kpop videos, so he doesn't do them as often anymore.
