MJ was 24 years old when he wrote this angry POP song in 1982 about the Billie Jean. As MJ's most successful single, it is frightening for me to read in the comments in over 100 reaction videos that many do not know the lyrics, do not grasp the topic. Everyone remembers the "beat" that "Hiiiii", "Ooo" and his dance moves didn't really listen to. In her jasszy cover Angelina tells the story about the Billie Jean from her point of view without changing the text. Only through Angelina's arrangement, interpretation and empathy do many people hear and understand the story about the sad story of BillieJean. 💯 AJ 💯
But it is true - one of my favourite dance floor songs for over 30 years, but never paid attention to the lyrics (only fragments, without the whole story). Angelina's version made me listen to the lyrics - possibly because it is slightly slowed down, and without extra effects, and "live" singing. However, the same is true for several of her covers, where I understood the lyrics for the first time.
I didn't fully understand the story of Billie Jean until Angelina sang it. She is a great singer storyteller. I am so glad to see your reaction Dani since I am spending most of the day on the road.
Dani, Thank you for your reaction to Angelina Jordan and her cover of Billie Jean. Angelina Jordan is a special person that has a very gift voice. Warm, amazing, magical, and spellbinding are some words used for her warm and cool low vibe for her jazzy voice. Angelina can almost sing a grocery list and make it into a hit song. She is that talented and her voice is so riches and pure when she sings.
Thanks Dani. The fact that Angelina was able to completely reinvent this iconic pop song into a jazzy interpretation is testament to her level of talent and creativity. She is a musical genius in my book. Appreciate your take on this performance. Look forward to your next one.
Angelina takes to classic song to a new fresh level ! So good ! If you never heard the original you would think this is the original ! What an interpretation and arrangement ! Thanks Dani for this it was so fabulous ! Angelina is a fantastic storyteller and she really transports you into her world ! Keep posting it's so much appreciated ! 😊👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️
Hi Dani….really nice reaction. Not only does AJ pay homage to MJ through her new interpretation of the song, but if you go back and have a look at MJ’s original music video taking special note of the colour palette and then have another look at AJ’s presentation again. I am pretty much in awe of this one…🤔and the others!😂😂
Hi, Dani! You look really terrific today. Angelina is totally responsible for all the twists and turns which show up on all her covers. Hardly any of us ever knew all the lyrics to the song and only since Angelina did this cover did we understand the story behind the song. She has a lot of guts and is always confident her version is something people will like. Dani, Merry Christmas to you and yours! If you are working New Years Eve, please be careful. Make sure the audience is acting responsibly.
"Not a bad singer" must be the understatement of the day! Chris, you need to hear more Angelina and then you'll soon find yourself down the rabbit hole with all the rest of us! ☺️
Welcome to the rabbit hole and here is a chronological list of all that she has done on RU-vid over the years from ages 6 to 15. ru-vid.com/group/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO
She takes Michael's classic and just by her subtle change from his pop variation to jazz, creates a classic of her own. If Merlin had a daughter it would be this 'magical' girl who just permeates the human soul with feelings I don't get from any other singer with the exception of Amy Winehouse and Billie Holiday, both of whom who Angelina does take nuances and inflections learned from them.
Please react to Mercy, the Angelina Jordan's part of the soundtrack of the just released movie "The hating game" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7Mthm-9jECM.html
Dani, your reactions are always on point and this one is no different. I always look forward to listening. Just a quick note to thank you for supporting Angelina and encouraging viewers to subscribe to her Channel at the start of your video. It helps the Young artists more than you know. If you would, also would be a great idea to supply the link in your description. I apologize if it's there and I missed it. Thank you. ANGELINA JORDAN OFFICIAL CHANNEL ru-vid.com
She normally only uses one take. This is what Stargate Studios said in an interview. Just watch here what they said: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DJux-6aEWVw.html 👍😊
I find this a big boring because the pitch sits soooo comfortably in the singers vocal range. It’s as if mj sang all his song an octave lower.. it wouldn’t be very impressive.
Hello Mr Powell,, Sorry you feel that way,, but it does take a music lover to understand how really special this 15YR OLD is to the music industry,,, Stay safe an healthy,,Godbless 👣🌬🌎
Your ignorance about Angelina´s talents and music is simply hilarious....Angelina will be one of the greatest singers/songwriters of all times, you will see :-) Just remember my words :-)
