CECILIA REACTS to Angelina Jordan's cover of "Suspicious Minds" 

She kills it. Every. Single. Time. Total ear candy.

She was recording in a studio when she was six. Her band called he “the boss.” She literally made notes for the engineer. There is a video of her singing into a hand held mic in her bed at 18 months. The first two girls are her cousins. Angelina’s uncle is her manager. The tallest girl is her younger sister, Juliette. Juliette can be seen dancing in some of her early videos. Her grandmother is an international visual artist. Angelina has sung globally for years. Her family has always traveled with her. She attended a Waldorf school when she was home in Oslo, the best school for integrated education and holistic child development.

The first little girls are her cousins her uncle Mike kids Angelina's manager last girl is Angelina's sister Juliette.

Absolutely loved her cover of Bohemian Rhapsody

Angelina Jordan starts at the bridge slows the sound that song down you can understand each ever work she’s a master artist and a great storyteller

Tiny Little Girl Our tiny little girl with the grownup voice will be 17 on Jan. 10, 23 and is now 6'1" tall and could be a super model, but I hope the major portion of her career will be dedicated to her music and taking the world to a better place. I don't think she even realizes this power she holds over us and the need to hear that signature voice to fill that empty void within all of us. Angelina Jordan is in fact the "Benchmark" for all other vocalist to try as they might to achieve.

ANGELINA JORDAN Born and raised in Oslo, Norway; this world-renowned singer has earned fantastic reviews for the amazing breadth, depth and maturity of her vocal talent that simply belies her young age. Angelina’s videos have received over 1 billion views on RU-vid and almost 2,5 billion views on Facebook. Amazingly, her passion for music began at just one-and- a-half years of age when Angelina first saw Whitney Houston on RU-vid performing I Will Always Love You. Whitney - and later Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington - became her first major musical influences. At the age of seven, Angelina auditioned for Norway’s Got Talent performing Billie Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday. She won the competition with the show drawing record TV audiences. Not surprisingly, throughout her rising career, Angelina has featured in prominent media outlets including TIME, CNN, BBC, and People while also performing on the U.S. network TV shows Little Big Shots and The View. In 2016, Avicii chose Angelina for the vocals on his worldwide Volvo commercial campaign, a brilliant cover of Nina Simone’s Feeling Good. As well as singing before Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, charitable causes to which Angelina has given her talent include the Rainforest Alliance at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and Ein Herz für Kinder in Berlin where she helped raise over 21 Million Euros for children and families in need. This multi-talented singing prodigy has also written a successful, illustrated children’s book in her native Norway making Angelina the youngest published author in the country’s history. Based on the true story of when she was six years old, Angelina met a homeless, shoeless girl. After they talked for a long time, she gave the girl her shoes and vowed never to appear on stage again wearing shoes until all the world’s children had them. Since that time, Angelina has always performed barefoot in public. 4:04

Released June 22, 2022❗️It surpassed over 3M views in just a few months! Angelina starts off with the bridge, completely different than anyone else; and then, begins with the opening line of the song. Her Bee hive hairdo is an homage to Priscilla…Many photographs of her hair, exactly like that. And a Leather outfit he later wore. The guitar is the Elvis‘s 1968 “Comeback” Guitar! Rob Christe actually owns this. The two young children are her cousins, her Uncle Michael’s children, the older girl is her sister Juliette. She even had a framed photo of Elvis, at this location. Rob Christie on piano ok.🌸 “Suspicious Minds” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RTbKhkceR00.html

First Words She Sings Just Melts My Heart Everytime.

The piano player is Rob Christie, the Director of the Republic Records studio in Los Angeles who has been working with Angelina since she signed with that record label when she was 14 years old.

A very nice reaction! Her Grandma, Mery Zamani, helped produced this. She used the same store (Melrose Gallery) she used for her My Funny Valentine and I Have Nothing videos. Her sister Juliette was the older girl and the 2 younger girls are her Uncle Mike's kids. 2- time Grammy winner Rob Christie is on piano once again. He is also the music director of Republic Records, the music company she is signed with. The beehive hairstyle was to honor Priscilla Presley and the time period she met Elvis. The black suit and red guitar was a classic look for Elvis from his comeback concert. What a performance and homage to The King!

I agree, her voice is aging like fine wine ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Elvis’s wife Pricilla wore her hair like that. Her grandmother Mery produced all of this. She is an amazing renowned artist and intimately works with Angelina. They love each other very much.

Just to remind you that today (I’m listening on 10 January 2023) is her 18th birthday. She has been skilled years beyond her age since she was tiny. 🎉🎉 happy birthday Angelina

Pianist, Rob Christie is a two time Grammy Award winner.

Angelina's hairstyle was representative of Priscilla Pressly hair style . Little girls , youngest , her cousin, older one her sister:)

This is a tribute to Elvis from the black leather, the red guitar that Elvis used in the 1968 comeback tour, the song itself where he charted in 1969, the Blue Suede shoes, Percillas behave hairdo, the setting representing Graceland and even Lisa Marie growing up represented by Angelina's little cousins which are her Uncles/managers kids and the older one witch is AJs 11yr old little sister Juliette . And all this detail brought to you by grandma Mery who produced this and Rob Christy playing the piano

Nice reaction! Being 67 and growing up during Elvis famous time (a true hype) it is stunning to watch Angelina paying so much respect to him! All the little details (boots, leather suit, red guitar, Priscilla's beehive hairdo aso), but she even looks a little bit like him in her face. In fact if you look to a couple of pictures from Elvis and Priscilla she could be a daughter if she wasn't so young!!! I watched this rendition of Angelina many times before I saw the movie Elvis and it made the movie more pleasant and the movie made me appreciate Angelina even more. I think it's no coincedence that she met Austin Butler (who played Elvis fantastically) and Priscilla a couple of months later. I hope that not only older people like me realize what an insane artist Angelina is. So much more than just a good singer!

New subscriber for Angelina

The beehive hair style is a tip of the hat to Pricilla Prestly. The black leather and red hollow body as well as Rob Christy's red jump suit are visual clues to Elvis' comeback tour of 1969. Such painstaking detail from such a young artist.

The hair was absolutely a nod to Priscilla Presley.

Knowledgeable and respectful critique. Bravo.

Angelina doesn't cover songs- she uncovers them, delivering their essence to heart. Wonderful ❣️

Her interpretation of Suspicious Minds is very on point with the intended meanings of the lyrics.

Thank you for that reaction!

Since she was even young, her deep and textured voice quality must be a sound engineers dream....

Really enjoyed your reaction to our genius

The pianist is no less than Rob Christie. A 2x Grammy winner and head of Republic Records LA.

Angelina is a pro in every sense of the word, she has been performing on stage since she was 6 years old, 10 years of honing her skills.

I have all the copies of that and you and Jordan is a fantastic singer a great humanitarian she’s raising millions of dollars for children’s charities and her voice is fantastic wonderful sangel

this video was filmed in an antique shop. this is at least the second video that was filmed here, her first one was My Funny Valentine, which was released back in February. that one is not a performance video, just a visual video.

WOW , loved your very astute review/reaction ! thank you.

That's why you're my favorite reactor of Angie very specific love it thanks cecil

The voice is amazing

Awesome reaction, God Bless!

Absolutely ever angel sent from heaven

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Love your refs to what she's surrounded with. I look at those chandeliers, the numbers of cut glass, how they come together to reflect shining light, colors that change from every angle, the warm glow... That's Angelina, her beautiful voice and the combination of her vocal mastery... She is a work of art. Her music is founded on her character, her heart...in one of the lyrics in her original song titled "7th Heaven" she writes "I see myself in the mirror, I want to love the person looking back at me".., she's seriously dedicated to continually hone that incredible talent she's been gifted.. and we see her, and we love what we see. Your reaction, educated and honest was very good... Hope to hear more Angelina... Best to you, Hubby and your business in 2023.. music can be SUCH a great part of our lives!! PEACE and BLESSINGS!!

MY ABSOLUTELY FAVOURITE 💯 ♥

You're so right with her message of the Song, we can't live together with suspicious mind. Before her last life performance she talked to us..be kind to eachother and spread Love because we need it more in the world 💕 with tears of Joy in her Eyes. Because she knows there are a lot of her Fans from around the world who agree with her and spend her a lot of energy for her future 🙏💓💯☀️

Arrangement is by Mr. Rob Christie and Angelina Jordan. The guitar so Mr. Christie seems, he said, is the original Guitar. See BigAngieFans recording of the video interview with Mr. Christie.

Wow, what a great breakdown and analysis of this incredible performance. One of the best reactions and analysis of Angelina's performance that I have ever seen. Thank you so much. Yeah! She’s something special, isn’t she? Power & Pure Velvet Perfection! This vocal arrangement was all Angelina, I have no doubt in collaboration with a stellar team including Rob Christie & Mery Zamani her Grandmother. She is a Master Storyteller. The video is shot in the same Antique Store that she did 'My Funny Valentine' on Valentine’s Day. I believe it is in LA near her home. I believe the girls in the video represent Angelina's Journey from infancy to present through the classics of music history. Thus the Antique store, She grew up studying and performing these classics. Did you notice that right foot raise it''s heal to cradle the guitar a couple of times in the performance. I was waiting for her to throw in a little shake to it in homage to the King. Could that have been intentional? That is Rob Christie on piano. Si ster Juliette and a couple of Uncle Michael's Babies. I think that makes them cousins not nieces. Full Black Leather Bodysuit, the guitar from his concert in 68 and the hair a homage to Priscilla Presley. Yeah! She can bring tears to your eyes. I base my interpretation on my knowledge of Angelina's journey from an 18 month old little girl singing a "classic" of music history 'I Will Always Love You' . She has been listening to these classics on repeat on YOUTube since then under the guidance and inspiration of her Grandmother Mery Zamani. She has been performing these classics since her first time in studio at 6 yrs old.. She has continued this journey through her 1st introduction to the world with her "Classic'" 'Gloomy Sunday’ and following with her many performances at her many Jazz Festivals, TV performances, Concerts, and charity events, studio recordings and practice sessions at home accompanied or not. The location in the Antique store represents these classics (like the furniture) of another era. To me she portrays wonder at all these classics surrounding her. as she has travelled this road. Her tribute to Elvis is at her present age, today, each stage represented by her cousins and sister and ending with Angelina herself on the couch still admiring all this history surrounding her. The beautiful rendition of the song, and other tributes are in the leather outfit, Guitar and hair a tribute to Priscilla. Just my interpretation but it makes the most sense to me. ♥👣👸🏻 Jeffery Richards Tells us this is: The Melrose Gallery is on Melrose Blvd. in west Hollywood, a suburb of LA.

GIVE THEM JAZZ! SHE WILL BE THE BIGGEST SELLING ARTIST EVER!

Magical storyteller! Wonderful ❣️

The piano player is Rob Christie, a classically trained pianist, director all Republic Records studios in LA and music historian. He has taken AJ under his wing as a mentor (though he credits her as someone he learns from everyday) and her primary accompanist. He has collaborated on archiving the libraries of some major musical legends and has introduced her to musicians who have accompanied performers like Sinatra, Etta James and Michael Jackson. Not she could found a better nest in which to learn to fly than where she is.

The two youngest girs are the daughters of her Uncle Mike who is her manager. The older girl is her younger sister, Julietta. The piano player is two time Grammy winner, Rob Christie, who is a Studio Director for Republic Record where Angelina signed as a Priority Artist. The song is about the pain a trustworthy person feels when they are not trusted by someone they care about deeply. Angelina's ability to make you 'feel' is what sets her apart from other great singers who dazzle with vocal acrobatics. I appreciate you analysis. Thank you.

Angelina has always been a beautiful jazz singer and that colour has continued throughout her incredible career, but she is incredibly versatile and sensitive to the music that she chooses to sing. She has thrilled me in disbelief ever since she was 7. 😎

My interpretation of the symbolism of this music video: First, and foremost; Angelina Jordan at 16 is the epitome of a Storytelling ARTIST, and she has the ability to take us by the hand and lead us down an imaginary path that we visualize as reality. The remarkable fact is that we experience this in each of her performances. In this video we see her as a married woman in her mid to late 20s. As the video starts out, we see dishes, and it is a symbol of a home. As AJ sings the phrase “Were caught in a trap, I can’t walk out” we see 3 small children, this to me is a marriage where the children come first. If it were AJ by herself, she would not stay in a relation without trust.

Angelina another vocal & visual treat I think that elvis would be all shook up with this rendition .❤️🎸⭐️👄

I interpret the esthetics(?) as a way to honour Elvis. Her outfit to Elvis, some of her singingstyle in this song to Elvis, the hairstyle to Pricilla etc I might be wrong but I often find she has some small mean of giving thanks to those before her on the same time as she put her own spinn on it. Anyway thanks and greetings from Sweden ❤

I just smile when you say that Angelina's voice "ages". She is sixteen years old. Yes, she has been singing for years and her voice has matured since "Gloomy Sunday". "Ages" is just an interesting choice of words.

Her voice always makes me emotional!

He's her boss. Music director with republic records. 2 time Grammy winner. Amazing.

You could say her pianist chose HER, as he is a VP of Republic Records, which signed her.

Such a unique individual, just love her! So pleased you did another AJ reaction.

❤ That girl ❤

I'm 68 years old and heard Elvis sing this dozens of times while growing up (my Mom was a big Elvis fan, me not so much). The thing is, I never really heard the words or felt the emotion when Elvis sang it, but this version just hit me hard. More Angelina please!

Great reaction. Loved your analysis. Angelina is such a musical genius with so much talent she has worked hard to hone. Would love to see more reactions to her in your playlist. Thanks

New sub here. Please react to the Black and white Version Angelina's "I put a spell on you" She was 9 years old. It will simply blow you away.

Two younger children are her uncles and the other one growing up is Angelina sister is five years younger

Thank you for returning to Angelina. Your reactions to her performances are always worth watching. As you said, the song was written by Mark James, an American singer/songwriter, who recorded it the year it was written. The best known version, however, was that done by Elvis Presley. It was his last No 1 song. In the Wikipedia entry of the origins of the song, Mark James is said to have remarked "That late one night, he was fooling around on his Fender guitar and using his Hammond organ pedals for a bass line and came up with what he thought was a catchy melody. At the time, he was married to his first wife but still had feelings for his childhood sweetheart, who was married back in Houston. James's wife had suspicions about his feelings. He felt it was a confusing time for him and that all three were "caught in this trap that they could not walk out of." Other singers covering this song invariably base their performance on that of Elvis, in that it is very "upbeat". Angelina took a very different path in that she read and understood the lyrics and what Mark James intended when writing them . To my mind, her rendition is much truer to the emotions of the song. The children appearing in the video were Angelina's cousins Aurora (first) and then Athena - daughters of her uncle Michael Astar, and then her sister Juliette. I would hazard a guess that they were included to emphasise that children are very important to Angelina and her family. Confession! I have never been a great fan of Elvis Presley, although I do like some of his earlier recordings, and I had never heard of the song "Suspicious minds" but knew that Angelina would completely take ownership of it, and she did. It was beautiful. After listening to it several times, I decided to download the lyrics to see whether she kept to the original structure. She didn't, and the song is all the better for it. For me, that she started with the Bridge of the song is very significant and, I feel, very indicative of Angelina's "up front" transparency. She was declaring that it was important that their love did not die, and then carries on to say why she feels as she does. Others first say how they feel and then, almost as an afterthought, assure their love they don't want it to end. For me, it is whether I feel the singer is genuine about the situation and wishes it could be resolved or whether the singer understands the situation but thinks the blame is on her/his partner but feels the need to assure them they don't want it to end (until somebody else comes along).

Cecilia, I greatly enjoyed your analysis for Angelina's fabulous version of this classic song. Thank you very much for educating viewers how to best support their favorite artist. Much love.

Rob Christie Playing Piano: That dude playing the piano is Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California, and he has been working with AJ since she signed with the largest record company in the world at the age of 14, two years ago. Rob was the MC of AJ Christmas Show that aired Dec 23, of 21. AJ’s Christmas Show that live-streamed on Dec 23 of 21 had some of the most important musicians of our time: Frank Sinatra's drummer for 6 years, and sun in-law of the late Henry Mancini, Greg Field has won 9 Grammys, and the bass player, Chuck Berghofer who also played for Sinatra for 6 years, and toured with Barbara Streisand, accompanied AJ on her Christmas Show, and they stated that she had the "storytelling ability of the greats, Streisand, Fitzgerald, Vaughan, including Sinatra, to name a few. The main pianist, a five-time nominated for Grammys, Shelly Berg, stated in all his years working with the greatest vocalist, he had never encountered a talent like AJ. Did I forget to mention Jimmy Z, the famous Sax Player who worked with Rod Steward, Etta James, the Eurythmics, and Doctor Dre, was part of the band for the show? Jimmy stated that AJ was the best he has ever played for. Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California played the guitar, and was the MC of the show. (I can't list the complete backgrounds on all the band members because it would take several pages to do them justice.) Angelina stated that she would rather perform than take a breath, and she has never been forced to perform, it has been her decision.

The pianist Rob Christie (music studio director of Republic Records distribution of UMG, two-time Grammy winner) changed the musical arrangement and Angelina changed the vocal arrangement, but she didn't change the lyrics. Angelina changes the lyrical structure starting with the bridge and gives the song a different meaning than Felton Jarvis and Mark James , Angelina version absolutely fits the lyric better. Once again, many people don't hear and understand the song until Angelina tells the story. 💯 *AJ* 💯👣 The producer Felton Jarvis from Elvis Presley cleverly covered this *Mark James song from 1968 in 1969* , Elvis' last #1 hit in the US and #7 of his most successful songs. Felton Jarvis took the original country arrangement completely from Mark James and pushed the song with more speed and additional instruments (wind instruments, violin etc.) and a spectacular backing choir (in the studio version).

I just adore your AJ reactions. Just an FYI this video is a full Elvis homage to his 1968 Christmas comeback special on NBC I believe. The hair rep Priscilla's beehive that she had at the time and the black leather suit Elvis was wearing while he played his red electric guitar. Shooting it in an antique shop was brilliant reflecting all the opulence Elvis was famous for surrounding himself with the Chandelier's and vintage furniture right down to the mic that was used was well thought out. If you can please react an review to AJs latest cover of Whitney Houston (I Have Nothing). Its shot in B/W also in the same antique shop lol. I'd love to see your take on the subtle changes AJ made to make it her own. Also think about doing a reaction of AJ earlier work like (I Put A Spell On You) by Screaming Jay Hawkins. the B/W studio version when she wad 9yrs old is spectacular and if you've ever worked with children then this little child prodigy and her rendition & solo arrangement would make a great case study of jazz techniques that are abnormal in adolescents. This version is a homage to Screaming Jay not to Nina Simon. Thanks and Hope I hear form you. Cheers!

Have you seen the photo of Angelina and Priscilla together? I haven’t seen the details of the circumstances but it appears to be taken shortly after AJ did this video. Thank you for doing more reactions with Angelina. In my 70+ years I’ve never been impressed so much by another artist. I really enjoy many different singers, groups, bands etc. but none have gripped my attention and bring out the true meaning of a song like this young lady. Please do many more AJ reactions. Her rendition of Wicked Game done at 12 years old while playing a keyboard at home is fantastic. The fan made version is the best by far.

Great analysis --- thank you for such a deep dive into the performance. The young girls in the video are AJ's cousins and her sister.

Thank you for a very well spoken and expressive review of our angel. Not sure if anyone has commented, the first two are daughters of her uncle Michael Astar, brother to Sara Astar who is Angelina's mother. The third child is her cheeky sister Juliette. Together with grandma Mery, it is a family production.

Angelina has had such high attention to music since an incredibly young age. Her attention went to constant playing with sound. She is unschooled formally with a multitude of mentors from past greats and since jazz has been so well populated and has stayed very much in the playful mode developing multitudes of jazz styles, Angelina has quite literally used RU-vid as her greatest resource of learning materials. With no curriculum, she was somehow able to imbue her naturally deep voice with the qualities to allow it become massively skilled. Moral of this story: if your kid is online all the time and creative, support their interests! Let them learn at their own pace. Even “shallow” stuff in other’s estimation is rich with meaning. Be whole and sincere yourself, so that your support is untainted by cynicism and foul behaviors tacitly calling for the same expected of the child to emulate you. Remember that you matter! And your child will know that they matter. ❤

If yoou look at the cover of the 2022 movie "Elvis", you'll see what she was emulating visually. Love you reviews of Angelina. You are knowledgeable and so perceptive of Angelina's technique and mood.

Absolutely what I expected. She made this her own song and she did it beautifully. I noticed Juliet sitting there she is going to be as beautiful as Angelina one day. Elvis' version is great, and it still is one of my favorites. but Angelina's version is equally great and is definitely her own. When I first heard this song I loved it and put it at #3 on my playlist (Angelina Jordan Playlist by Terry M.), about midday I moved it up to #1. The main thing that changed my mind was the power in her voice. I'm not talking about loudness I'm talking about the power she has regardless of how loud or soft she sings. This is a quality that I haven't heard from anyone in my 82 years. This voice has become so unique that it is totally unmatched. Her phrasing in the last bridge is great. And she got Elvis’s ‘Oh Yea’ at the end of the song. The pianist is Rob Christie (3 Grammys), he is the head of the Republic Record department that is responsible for Angelina and other singers. The two small kids are her uncle Mike's kids, and the older girl is Angelina's sister. If you haven’t already reacted to her latest studio of Whitney Houston's version you should - here’s the link - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iX0g99jN26U.html 🙂

There is so much more that you haven't reacted to from her, I just hope that you are taking the time to explore that on your own privacy and for your own enjoyment even if you don't publicly react to them.

I’m so glad you researched the history of Suspicious Minds as I’ve listened to this song dozens of times with dozens of reactors and your the first reactor who has mentioned the original was by Mark James , Absolutely stunning performance from Angelina, the first two girls in the video are Angelina’s managers children, the eldest girl is Angelina’s sister Juliette, production input from Angelina’s Grandma who is a talented Iranian artist, pianist is Rob Christie award winning musical director of Republic Records the label Angelina signed with at the age of 14 years old, love how Angelina pays tribute to Elvis with her black outfit and red guitar 🎸 and Pricilla Presley hair style, green reaction thanks 🙏

I spoke too soon. Lovely reaction. 🦶🦶😇

I more than liked your reaction and deep analysis of Angelina's take on this song. You are so on point with her vocals, color palette, visuals, body language and messaging. Angelina is a music genius and I love how she makes me feel when she sings. Best wishes and growth to you on your mission in the coming year.

I love the mature sound of her voice in this song. Another song that's worth checking out is her singing "Stay". Happy New Year!

🌿✨🎶🪅🎵Wow! I LOVE your “nerdy” approach to this song, the original artist,and to our wonderful Angelina and her rendition. I learned so much more about the song itself and understood it much more than I ever had before. THANK YOU I am new to your channel…. Liked and subscribed! Your own voice, if that is what is playing at the start and finish, is lovely. And I know that the rest of Angelina’s angels have been filling you in on this song, her cousins, etc etc! Bless them all!

She is the best

The hair style is what they call " a beehive " the same as Priscilla Presley many years ago.

Great reaction! I subscriebed for more AJ.

The oldest girl is her sister, Juliette, who also played her as a child in the official video of Million Miles. Juliette doesn’t sing, her passion is dancing, but I think she may decide to try acting as well. She has big shoes to fill.

Angelina Jordan has a Patreon page I support that

Great reaction and commentary on this. I believe Angelina's rendition captures the angst, fatigue, and yet hopefulness better than either Mark James' original or Elvis' (both of which were more upbeat). But the lyrics are not upbeat describing as they do a relationship that could make it but that probably won't due to mistrust. As you said, Angelina's artistic choices are really superb and help to make us, to force us, to hear the story.

Great reaction thank you wild bill

I’m Angelina Jordan she slows it down. Miss you. Listen to the words and the lyrics. Many people that I would reviewed. Said they didn’t understand what song about her Angelina Jordan they knew. Understood the meaning of the song suspicious mind. We can’t go on his way. we had forgot that Trusty Jared.

Hi, again! Your analysis of Angelina's performance of this song was the most comprehensive I have watched by any other Reactor - and I've watched them all. Way back in 2014 I began to refer to her as "The Chameleon of Song", for as a chameleon is able to change colour to match its surroundings, so Angelic is able to change the"colour" of her voice to match the emotions of a song. She is the only singer of whom I am aware who sings a song with the total conviction that she has experienced the events described in the lyrics of every song she chooses to sing which, if one is completely honest about it, is absurd as she hasn't done so. I note that you have reacted to Angelina at ages 10, 13 and 16 and in each of those she stamped her personality on them by not binding herself to the performances of others but to sing them as she felt they deserved to be sung. But she has one song in which she completely changed the genre and put real meaning into the lyrics. It is her arrangement of the Michael Jackson hit "Billie Jean'. In anticipation that you will consider reacting to it, here is the link: age 15 - "Billie Jean" (Michael Jackson) - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xp67k9wk2Mw.html And, while I have the stage, I'll be completely selfish and ask you to consider reacting to one of my favourite performances of hers at age 11. It was written by Dolly Parton's and became a hit for Whitney Houston. It is an impromptu performance by Angelina, where she and her Norwegian guitarist, Egil Clausen, got together and discussed songs. Eventually they decided upon one they liked but had never performed. Angelina searched on her Tablet for the lyrics and Egil for the guitar chords. Angelina told him to "Follow me" indicated to her grandmother to start recording and away they went. Invariably, that first time performance was uploaded to RU-vid without editing. Here is the link: age 11 - "I will always love you" - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eml4tIAqWUY.html

New subscriber. Loved your reaction and 'nerdy' commentary. Such a tribute to Elvis. The hair style, like Priscilla Presley; the leather suit, like worn by Elvis; the red guitar, like the one used by Elvis in his 'comeback special' in 1968; and the piano player's jumpsuit like worn at one time by Elvis' bandmates. Yet, the way she flipped the original arrangement totally made it her own.

“Bee hive” hair do…made famous by pracilla presley

Yes, I had a good time. Listen to you and watching your face because she brings out emotions I make you feel the music I said this is a storyteller alabaster I was.

Excellent review. I love your style. From clear microphone, enlarged Angelina in the background, and you staying in the forefront with video effect. You speak directly to us, don't stammer and your thoughts are collected, even edited. Wonderful example of how people should do reviews. Also love your insight and appreciation of technique, style, choreography. And above all, you are 100% correct about Angelina Jordan, a terrific rising star at age 17 now! You have a new subscriber!!

Simplesmente a melhor cantora da atualidade esde seus anos e idade...Angelina Jordan The Best

Suspicious minds she performs is fantastic everybody said the way she saying if they understood the words many said that when I was processing it didn’t know what Elvis talking about

Really nice reaction, she is so good. No one compares to her in my mind. Happy Holidays to you and all the angels also. ♥️

Thank you so much for yet another beautiful and very detailed reaction to Angelina. It is very much appreciated. I wish you guys Happy New Year and I hope to see you soon in 2023, preferably with another reaction to Angelina. Next year will also be the year when she releases her debut album with Republic Records and that has the potential of being something REALLY special. STAY TUNED FOR THAT 🙂 Much Love from Norway ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Taylor, I just love your reaction/analysis of Angelina's performances. You get right to the essence of her performances & the more research you do, the more I like it. Thanks so much for doing this & thank your husband for turning you on to it. My favorite of her is her most recent version (age 16) of the classic jazz standard, My Funny Valentine, filmed in this same antique shop. She sang it at 9 at a live concert, with piano & sax backing, then at 10 she sang it at home to a backing track. Both versions were phenomenal for a child & the cuteness factor is off the charts. But her recent version is a Masterclass in vocal techniques & it's by far the best version of the many versions I've heard from legendary singers of the past. It's just STUNNING!!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ETGLbsGDAI0.html

I absolutely loved your reaction from a music perspective, the way you described Angelina's tone and rhe richness of her voice and how Angelina uses this texture to emphasise the meaning of the song was gold, i however think you were a little out with the visual aspect. How i seen the visuals was all Elvis, Priscilla's hairdo, the bling, everything about the room reeked of Elvis.(i don't know if reeked is the right word but it fits) Every visual in the room, Elvis would have loved, then the clothing style and instruments were just perfect, Angelina has got everything right here to pay great tribute and respect to the King. 😊😊🌏
