Most Angels seem to like Angelina’s other version of Feelin Good a little better. That’s the one with the big band with horns and strings. I’ve always liked this one more because we can hear her voice more clearly. She was the same age for both. Also, we see how involved the audience is here. It’s Angelina in front of her home crowd-and they’ve known for years already that she is absolutely amazing-a national treasure. She comes in behind the beat, she has already perfected that vocal fry morphing into a clear note, she gives us range and shocking power, and her humility shows all through this performance. I’m addicted to everything Angelina sings, but if I was forced to choose-I’d pick younger Angelina as my favorite incarnation. She might not yet be the best singer in the world, but she was easily the best child singer ever.
This was recorded in June 2016. The big band version was recorded 6 months later in January just before her 11th birthday. This is not as polished, but I consider it one of her breakout performances and is probably my "grandpa" favorite.
Love your comment! To me, the two performances are like bookends… equally spectacular. They both have their offsetting merits. You are absolutely right about the audience engagement to the earlier, outdoor performance. The sustained lead-in into the final belt is incomparable here whereas with the indoor performance, the belt itself seems more energetic. The brass band is amazing, but the talented musicians in the outdoor venue do their best considering their limited instrumentation playing outdoors.
During her Portsmouth concert on Sept 22, a track mistakenly played twice at the start of one of her original songs, which had her voice singing the song. She immediately stopped the band and fixed it. She said something to the effect of "I don't lip sync" (not that exactly, but essentially that). I'm glad that she proudly states that and stays true to real musicianship in her live performances. I believe she'll always perform that way. She's the best.
That brief exchange was eye opening. We all got a look at why Angelina was called “the boss” in many of her earlier recordings. The consummate professional.
1. Juchhheeee!!🎉🎉🎉😅 It finally happens! AMR@WIAWB!!! Can't wait to see it. And you don't have to be anxious. They love Angelina like you do, and you only will row in the same boat of admiration... can't wait ... Juchheeee🎉🎉🎉 2. I can't smash LIKE as often as i would like to.... Your Plea for non -AutoTune factor 10000x LIKES! To point out WHY Angelina sings without: Thank you so much!! I love your channel and you guys. Your TRIBUTE (Retrospective) to her... i watched it 6 time now. Ongoing. I tear up each time. And your radio experienced speaking voice is so perfect for honoring her salted with your hearable emotions... Masterpiece!!! Thank you so much!
When the band starts to play, Angelina gives us her confident smile. A majority of her performances have that confident smile in the middle of the song. Allsang På Grensen, roughly translates to Sing Along at the Border. This annual event is held in Norway, near the border with Sweden. People attending are given the lyrics for each song and many artists perform.
Wishing you good luck tonight with the Alan & Pontus podcast, Wrapped In A Warm Blanket. They couldn’t find a better person to interview about Angelina, her beloved Iranian grandmother, and her Persian heritage. Please post a link on your site.
Debería ser obligatorio que escuelas de música y entrenadores vocales promuevan clases sobre Angelina Jordan de como utiliza su voz una Máster prodigiosa vocalmente, una voz compleja, única, debería ser obligatorio para los niños que sueñan ser excelentes cantantes, Acapulco México
Hey Boudy, No need to have been anxious in our chat last night. You did great. You're such a pro. We're aiming to publish livestream Nov 9th. Will send you the first draft when it's ready
in the intro, watch her eyes ... she is totally immersed in her inner track of the music, eyes roll back, eyelids flutter ... her own world of music and love
Hi Boudy, I was in Portsmouth and Angelina stopped a song twice because the sound engineer put a track; she told him she doesn’t do that because she only sings live!!
I always look forward to your insightful reactions. While so many reactors just play the video, comment half way through and at the end saying they like it, she’s a good singer, etc. just using Angelina as click bait; your reactions are full of observations that even professional singing coaches miss. Look forward to your next one.
Boudy, her fans call those minor mistakes her "Perfect Imperfections." As far as Autotune goes, I've read in the comments that she has in her contract no Autotune allowed. I don't know if it's true, but with her love of spontaneity in her music & with her live performances being her best, Imo, I wouldn't doubt that Uncle Mike included it when she signed with RR. Can't wait for your episode on Wrapped in a Warm Blanket.
LO MALO ES QUE ESTAS NIÑAS TAN PRECOCES CUANDO CRECEN PIERDEN LA MAYORÍA DE ESA MAGIA Y ESA BELLEZA DE VOZ...A MUCHAS LES PASA Y NO PARECEN LAS MISMAS..ES UNA DELICIA DE VOZ.
I believe it was Elizabeth Zharov, a reactor, vocal coach and opera singer once said that perfect pitch isnt perfect singing. To more effectively convey emotion sometimes you have to be a little flat or a little sharp.
You are a great advocate for Angelina, and the work you did on that video is exemplary. Not only an advocate but you are a true angel. Thanks for what you do.
Thanks for another great Monday Boudy....you are always so intuitive and insightful when it comes to music....and this young music genius... It has been said that Angelina's imperfections are perfect and there is not much better than Angelina Live!! She has 100's of videos simply recorded at home with just a mic and backing track or with just a guitar and a mic that simply proves this young lady needs no bells and whistles, production, mixing etc...to sound like she does...she has dozens and dozens of TikToks or IG's just singing with a cellphone that are spectacular. One of these days you should compile several of her short TikToks into a reaction (has been done by others) to get the full effect of the spectacular Raw vocals. Generally better than the produced auto tuned you see now days. Cheers Boudy, look forward to the Wrapped in a Warm Blanket podcast. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Wonderful, thank you! SO glad you chose to watch this version! It deserves more exposure. I prefer this to the TV appearance. I think Angelina has an internal metronome and the musicians had better follow it, LOL!
Boudy, I am so glad you emphasized the Autotune opinion. I share the same. Yes, she is human... but a damn talented one! I love all that she is. 🎶👣👸⭐🌹😍🎶
Very interesting what you say about timing.... I think you see in some of her recent concerts a little bit of imperfection with the musicians trying to follow her - but that's OK ! I think she free-wheels most of her performances and musicians have to follow as best they can... those who have most experience playing with her do fine, with others you can sometimes see a few issues.... but her voice carries all. I love what you say about perfection.. with Angelina any imperfections just add positively ! We see that over and over... Even the bigger ones like last year when she had to say to her band/friends: "I'm not ready yet guys" :)
Ivan Mendez, the guitarist who worked with Angelina when she first moved to LA said as much. A paraphrase of his statement about Angelina's approach to the recordings was "This one sounds interesting. Follow me and try to keep up."
Brilliant live performance...says everything about her talent...the real deal..she instinctively knows what to do and she does it effortlessly.....one of a kind...understates this young lady's talent....treasure . what you are witnessing....you wont see her like again
I've seen her do that in an indoor concert when she was younger and it was also amazing. So I knew this performance would make you happy. They're both good but you should find the other and see which one you prefer. Sending happiness from NC.
I understand the appeal that blue eyes can have on a teenage girl, but her natural black eyes are simply captivating. A mixture of maturity and innocence with a touch of fragility. I feel as if she's looking right into my eyes. It's hard to look away.
I've been busy and haven't been able to watch many reactions, honestly, I missed your habibati! I love her versions of this song..I've seen them (at least) a million times 😊..can't wait to see your 'Wrapped' appearance, I love their channel...tab yawmak!
When I saw your retrospective (which was wonderful!) I was going to suggest you contact Alan snd Pontus 😂 Seems you guys read my mind. They are great so you don't need to be ancious at all. Truly looking forward to watch the video! 😊
Nina Simone's rendition of this song is considered by most to be 'The Gold Standard' for this song, but Angelina, at 10 years of age, has expertly arranged and performed this song on what I consider 'The Platinum Level' for the song. I don't believe it can be improved on, and hasn't been by all the great singers who sang it before Angelina.
I absolutely love your reactions and comments and I am still waiting for your reaction of Angelina James Brown cover live of « It’s A Man World », I will continue to ask for it until you do it pleazze 🤪.
Excellent point on singing live my friend. It's the unique changes in a delivery that prompt unique composition that takes the song to a new level. Also, the emotion that comes out is even more real, connecting so much more with the listener.
Another fun Monday with AMR and Angelina! This is a great performance, even with a minor flaw or two, simply for the breath control she displays on that last cadenza. Wow! Great reaction, Boudy! I'm definitely going to check out your podcast appearance. Peace.
Angelina has performed this song many times now, and it's almost her signature song. I love every one of those performances, and they're all subtle and different. She has an arrangement she likes, but she adds things on the fly, creatively. Subtle is a great word for the things she does. With so much control and variety of techniques, she can paint with any color she likes at any moment. Love AJJ Mondays! Thanks, Boudy.
Thank YOU! Angelina has performed this song several times over the years, but this was her first live one that I'm aware of. Even the practice and walking around takes are fantastic. Looking forward to the warm blanket interview, they do a great job, and we always learn new things about what why and how AJ does what she does.
Just in case you're not familiar with earlier recordings, there are at least two live performances that were recorded slightly earlier. The first shows a 9-year-old jazz artist on a famous stage: Angelina Jordan concert, December 21, 2015, at Victoria Scene, Oslo - Norway ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D9tI-FCslRw.html A historic venue with plenty of culture within its walls, Victoria has been the permanent home of the Norwegian national jazz scene since 2008. It is an intimate concert stage with very good sound and lighting conditions, but only seats 270 spectators, so you can describe it as a kind of jazz club. The second one was released on April 24, 2016 (= 9 weeks before Alsang pa grensen on June 30) - I can't remember the occasion, but it looks like more than 270 people. The power shown here by this ten year old professional singer is amazing ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OeDTt-Lxxtw.html
Angelina has two excellent renditions of this. The outdoor version is a bit slower. The television performance (my fav), is a bit faster, and the band much more aggressive. She is perfectly imperfect. :)

Great review as always! Just when you think this young lady can't get any better you have to watch her 23 concert singing Unchained Melody. Would like to see your comments about this performance, It's too perfect...
Speaking of the imperfections in singing, it's like the painter, Bob Ross, says on his painting shows back in the day: "We don't make mistakes, we just have happy little accidents!" I wish other singers and the music industry in general realize that.
Cheers from Australia 🦘🇦🇺 great reaction as I’ve come to expect, informative so I my musical appreciation grows. Now another reactor, also a singer, and AJ fan commented that Angelina uses her hand / arm motions to direct her vocals, she believes that as do I in watching AJ. Since what about you?
I'm a musician myself and I too respect musicians more who perform live without the need of auto-tune or lip-syncing. I totally agree that it's fine to make mistakes. If someone just used tracks in a concert, why would I visit a concert then? I could just listen to the same thing on spotify and the artist might as well not even appear on stage, it's the same thing. I'm so glad Angelina is one of the artists who performs live at her concerts.
Thanks! Just because..."you know, you know"....hope you and your family stay safe with the current "turmoil" going on in your part of the screwed up world!!!
Wonderful reaction to this amazing performance by Angelina, Boudy. Her very personal reading of this classic, which she has developed on her own, is sensational not only for a 10-year-old girl, but for an adult as well, there is not only her understanding of the musical texture of the song, but also the ability to change it in a very unique way. I'm adding two link of her piano sessions of this song, 2 years before this show (at only 8 years), to also understand how a fantastic young artist works. The natural talent of this girl is simply unreal and that ending of it ... 💛🧡❤ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nQbyK_frFiw.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QdN2dNS1NzQ.html
Great Claudio. All reactors should see these windows into the mind of this artist. For the people who think it is so easy for her to have such performances, they should see her almost obsessive concern with perfection.
@@josephstimpfl4594 Yes, when you listen to Angelina sing and interpret as only she can, the songs, including hers, she makes everything seem simple and natural, but behind it's her continuous work and her incredible musical vision.
Awesome reaction and her timing is the key! I've heard her perform where She is one lane and the Musicians are in another and it's still brilliant, she can marry it with ease to Great Musicians, God Bless!
I get anxiety waiting for your Monday Angelina reactions ! I've seen this a hundred times and I still don't know where the hell that sound comes from. Shes 10 here. She broke the PA system and shes ten. I guarantee you at 17 she can shatter windows. She rattled the chandelier a few times in NH but I bet she could have destroyed it if she wanted to. 🤯
I've said it before and I'll probably say it again, when I see her singing with flowers in her hair, and for anyone that doesn't know it. I feel that she is channeling Euterpe: The Muse of Music in Greek mythology - typically represented with a crown of flowers in her hair and called "Giver of delight" by ancient poets. Also known as "The one with a pleasant genius". I think that description is especially fitting, and the ancient poets could easily be describing Angelina. As she gets older, she herself could become the guiding genius for others to emulate.
I'm just as happy that I don't know what timing mechanism was used. Learning the details of how sausage is made is a good way to permanently become a vegetarian. If you see a great magic trick, you should applaud and move on, as eventually you did.
The ending is freakin incredible by a 10 year old 😳❤️ You have to hear her Unchained Melody performance from the recent concert in the States, but heads up, bring tissues 👍 Its incredible and beautiful ❤️
Good Lord, I can’t believe what you just did. I’m cancelling my subscription and I don’t care if I ever see another one of your damn reactions. Finding fault with Angelina? Give me a break! 😡… What, do you think I’m CRAZY?! Of course I’m not cancelling my subscription. 😆😁 Your insight Boudy is ALWAYS enlightening. We are drawn to Angelina in part because she represents perfection in our otherwise messy, inconsistent and often challenging existence. She is a bright spot in our day, ⛅️☀️ and like the sun rising every morning, she puts a smile on our faces. Even when her music is melancholy, we smile inside because we have found someone who relates to what we’re feeling and puts a beautiful voice to those thoughts and emotions. And for a brief moment, the beauty of of Angelina’s voice, her empathic connections to our feelings are REAL. And now we are shown with the help of your insightful discernment that this perfect beauty that we have come to love in Angelina is real too… as imperfectly *real* as our imperfect lives often are. 🫶 And Angelina continues to spread through OUR lives, her message of love and kindness. ❤️🩹👣
Mr. Boustany, With multiple choirs of “angels” descending on your house and with you becoming the new “voice” for Ms. Jordan’s persona and musical journey, You are the perfectly-imperfect man to bring Ms. Jordan to the world. I see very blue skies ahead for Global music in general and Ms. Jordan’s music specifically. You have instilled in all of us, a great respect for your humbleness, heartfelt responses and integrity in your creative works. I will continue my support for you, without hesitation, for you are that man. Rb
When I first digested these two FEELING GOOD videos, I imagine everyone clicks on the slick TV-studio version and this Allsang Pa Grensen show is ?? 6-8 months earlier. AJ looks distracted by the daylight audience - all those signs, faces, waving hands and arms. It can be a VERY distracting environment. But by the end, that live, day-bright audience offers one thing that the slick TV studio can't: the enthusiasm of a much much larger crowd... and now, the audience is boosting her, higher and higher. That's why I think this climactic passiage is even more powerful than the slick TV version.
And that last rant about mistakes, autotunes and being human, spot on! If I go to a gig or concert, i want to hear the artist as live as possible. No better thing than that.
I am a little surprised with all the AJ songs out there that you already chose to do one you already reacted to. I wish you would do some more from the new EP. I know there's no video but we really don't know which ones she will do videos for. You really need to hear Diamond but that's just my thinking.
It’s been so hard not listening to the EP haha. We’ll see how it goes. I really always prefer live performances. I don’t think I’ve ever done just audio before. Maybe just once with Song for A. Maybe I should. I don’t knowwwwwww 🫠
Thank you so much for your reaction. I thought that this song performed by this girl could only knock out your anxiety. No nerves now. She flows and then we flow. Nice.
