Update: as you know, Ivan Mendez was Angelina's guitarist in LA in 2018. In an interview with Alan Papier on his RU-vid channel, Ivan told the story of how the cover came about. In a nutshell "Angelina doesn't have a wish list of songs, she decides spontaneously if she likes a song. After hearing this song she says great song and has downloaded the lyrics. Then Ivan played the melody and Angelina says" good but slower, slower , even slower. OK, well, let's start ". Then the cover was recorded in one take, Angelina sang the song here for the first time after her arrangement without rehearsing beforehand. 💯 *AJ* 💯
Great reaction, fully enjoyed it ! Angelina's version makes you very teary eyed......when she sings this song, you really feel left behind in the cold, dark world, dreaming about the West Coast. Maybe this cover is underrated compared to her other ones, I start to think that it is maybe her best - in a sense that it transports the mood perfectly.
haunting timeless voice. a pop classic, completely reinterpreted and flawlessly sung with that haunting timeless voice by a little girl wearing a donald duck sweatshirt. unbelievable. Angelina is in a league of her own. sure, lots of singers can belt, can do this and that, but I doubt many is musically talent and courageous enough to do what she does. Out of this world.
Ivan with Angelina is MAGIC....simple pure magic....you can tell how comfortable she is with him, knowing he will be spot on with her flawlessly. All of the tunes with Ivan are awesome "stay" and "always on my mind" are two of my favorites among MANY. lol
I love your angel dust comment so true. I read once that someone posted and it said God made Anglina so he could hear her sing. Great reaction Stay Safe
This cover was so good that it was shared on The Mamas and The Papas Instagram back when she published it. To get praise and recognition from the original artist is quite an achievement for a 12 year old. ...and it was well deserved.
It's like the matador tempting the bull, raising the vocal cape, waving it in front of your ears and all you want to do is charge down the rabbit hole. "Hold me back". To late we're gone. Angelina my favorite singer does it again. This one made my top 90 easily. Thumbs up Hap.
That's probably my favorite reaction from you to an Angelina performance. What she has done with this classic pop song is beyond amazing: slowed it down, changed a few notes, sang it acoustic, and gave it a bluesie, jazz vibe. Bam---a MASTERPIECE! This is in my top 5 Angelina covers. If she ever creates another album of covers, I hope this is on it. Thanks Hap! 😊💕
Hauntingly beautiful 💖 ANGELina's version had me really listening and feeling the lyrics. ThIs always brings tears in my eyes. Thnx for yet another Good good good vibrations reaction...😉 Have a great one, all you wonderful people out there 🙏🙋
I know the original version of this song. I think I prefer this. The arrangement is done so perfectly that it gives the song a melancholic melody. Beautiful 🌻
Late again but I'm catching up and she's making me feel so much better so thank you Angelina relaxing or what she helps me so much I just love her she helps calm me down I always smile back and I still wave every time but I love the end of this when she says bye and then gets giddy she makes me so happy 💖from ya Yorkshire lass Denise 💖👼🏻👼🏻😘👋XX
She's so cute. Yah, her voice just comes out like liquid gold and it doesn't even faze her like she does it with such ease, confidence, simplicity, elegance. But this is her, it's a gift to her. And she doesn't abuse it. 😊♥️
I LOVE ANGELINA AND GRACE BUT I ALSO LOVE ANGELICA HALE, I am 67 and have heard MANY singers in my life that are and were great and in this current era of music it was nice to find the young new talents that don’t use autotune and that write there own songs as these three do. Thank you for reacting to the true new voices of real music.
@@HAP3SPEAKZ And also because only she chooses the songs she sings and only sings the songs as she imagines, reasons of her own independent label (managed by her uncle)😋
This isn't Angelina just covering a song & making it her own, as she usually does. She is taking an old classic song, which I love, & totally re-arranging/re-interpreting it into a new masterpiece that is stunning. This is in my top 5 Angelina songs, which is really saying something. Her top 100 are amazing!
A singer & guitarist IS all you need..... (from a guitarist) 🥰 love your reactions😊🙋🏻♀️only here to support those incredible voices out there.....✌🏻 oh....Ivan Mendez is sooooo cool
She open her mouth and seems like the whole orchestra plus her magical voice comes out!! I don't even know how to explain this!!! I need every day a little bit of Vitamin "A"!!!! Amazing!!!!!
Thank you for this reaction to Angelina Jordan . The original artists thought she did an amazing job so they uploaded to there Instagram And they wrote to Angelina.
The original is one of my all time favorites, this one takes it even one step further. It's not even about perfect execution (yes she has that too). The mood and intensitivity she's creating here is unbelievable gorgous. I can't even put words to it how much I love it. She has every reason to rejoice at the end. It's a master piece, clearly one of her very best. If she'd release it, I'm sure it could become a worldwide top hit.
LOL !!! You called it angel dusted, I call it Angelinatized lol. Same thing different wording. Our Angelina can take any song; put her "spin" on it and make that song communicate directly to our souls.
Every time I hear her version of a song , I like it better!!!!!! I bet the people that created the originals , they are kicking themselves why they didn't think the new version at the time. Good job Angelina.xx
Thanks for your fantastic reaction, there aren't many 11/12-year-old girls who can take a classic song more than 55 years ago, and that was basically a ballad, turning it into a slow and melancholic song that catches you heart filling it with emotions, the musical intelligence with which she re-elaborates, in a unique way, the old songs is amazing and her ability to take advantage of just the accompaniment of the simple guitar sound in background is incredible, I think that only for Angelina is it possible to do it so easily. 😊 In fact, the Mama's & the Papas also liked it and they published it on Instagram.
the bye and the eeek! at the end is priceless. Angelina's understanding of the sentiment each song should have is unreal. Hap3... which song do you prefer now? Mamas and the Papas or Angelina ?
The first time I heard this, I never wanted it to end. But it did, and I played it on repeat for 4 consecutive hours. It is in my top 3 from Angelina. That says it all for me. Fun how she just snap out of it too, and end this with "byyye", like nothing happened. It is mindblowing. Thank you again, Hap 👍👍
She closes her eyes and goes to another place. She brings us all to that place through her amazing voice - something we need at this time. Ivan is also amazing. Great reaction again btw.
One of Angelina's finest! But then I can say that about everything she does. It's just one I have on repeat all the time. I absolutely love this soft, dreamy aspect of her voice, and it's obvious you do too. One thing I don't think you've experienced quite yet on your AJ journey is her POWER. You'll soon witness that with "I Have Nothing" and "The Show Must Go On," so I hope you will react to them. In any case, I must repeat judge Omer Bhatti's comment after Angelina's first NGT performance, for this one, "I'm out of words."
"Splendid!" "Awesome"! Yep and yep. And more! You can see Ivan feel it! Great, greater, greatest-- we're moving towards our future. Spectacular may already be here. I'll come back for some more "Angel dust". (Although, the term' s known use for an illegal opiate is unfortunate).
Here is a little girl wearing a Donald Duck decorated top and singing like a seasoned and professional adult entertainer. It's almost enough to make a Christian believe in reincarnation. What a beautiful and talented child!
Hi there Hap..I've seen you react to quite a few of Angelina's sings now..here's a tricky question or you..which is your favourite? I've been trying to answer this myself for months..I'm no where near an answer! Great reaction buddy.
HAP3SPEAKZ I'm still not sure so I'll say whichever song I haven to be listening to though I do have a soft spot for Mr Lonely )) I enjoy your reactions..nice one fella..
Really enjoy your reactions...you've done a lot of Angelina Jordan, who is spectacular and a true child prodigy. I would love to hear your reaction of another child prodigy...Angelica Hale. She has her own RU-vid channel (2.2 MILLION subscribers) with 280 videos. She has appeared on America's Got Talent (twice), when she was only 9 years old. Today, she is 12 and several months ago she put out a cover of "Cold Stone" by Demi Lavato. After you do a reaction of that song, I will give you the back story of this amazing talent. She's a bit different than Angelina Jordan (mostly jazz style), but just as good in her own genre.
Fantastic reactions! Thank you! I hope you will react to Wicked games. I think you will ilke it;Just Angelina singimg and playimg the piano. Chose the version with the video where yoe van see her singing and playing - that one starts with a intro with pictures of the sea
pls use this one _Wicked Games_ (Chris Isaak cover) - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5IAMF4FDfw4.html fan-made video. Absolutely gorgeous. This is the best video out there for Angelina's Wicked Game.
I knew you would love this one, Hap. This is a pure masterpiece, sung by a girl in a Donald Duck shirt. Explain that to me, please, because I have no idea how to explain that. Thank you, my friend, with that thing in your face.. Did you lose a bet? 😊💕👍
I like your reactions to our world ruler (soon, believe me, this is the begin of a new religion), but you did not react to "It´s a Man´s World" (07.07.2018 Live Audio especially, but also the one with the orchestra) and the three AGT performances so far. Will they come also later or did you see them already without reacting?
