Hey, I’m another opera singer here and a big fan of Angelina. Can I recommend ‘I’m still holding out for you’ sung at the age of ten. I really think it is the best representation of Angelina’s jazzy wizardry and freakishly special talent. As someone interested in the musical language, I think you will also get a kick out of her reframing of Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean….. This girl…..

Hello Taylor. Thank you for a wonderful reaction to this wonderful young artist, known by most people who have listened to much of her work as the Queen of Jazz, the Barefoot Angel, and the Girl with 1000 voices. I was very surprised to stumble across this reaction since it doesn't come up in any searches for Angelina Jordan reactions, which probably explains the small number of views. The Angelina Jordan fan community is very large and extremely active and you will find us very interactive once you get known. I'll do my part and share your reaction on our fan sites. I really appreciate you taking the time to research Angelina's information before reacting to the song. It adds a lot of context and understanding to your reaction. Here are just a couple of additional pieces of information to fill in some of the gaps. Angelina actually wrote Million Miles in memory of her grandfather who passed away. It is a very emotional song for her. Angelina is an accomplished Jazz artist and vocalist with a full 9 years of performance experience (over 150 covers and original performances since the age of 6), including international venues of over 40,000 people. She has flawlessly covered such artists as Sinatra, Elvis, Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday, Queen, Miley Cyrus, Patsy Cline, James Brown, Lana Del Rey, Norma Jones, Adele, Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, Dinah Washington, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, Screamin Jay Hawkins, and many more. From the age of 3 she has been completely immersed in listening to and studying the jazz greats of the 40s, 50s, and 60s. She is a master in the use of dynamics, tone, tenor, vibrato, vocal fry, rasp, breathiness, melisma, and breath control, and uses these vocal skills in an entirely natural way to convey an emotional understanding of the songs she sings that defies explanation for someone so young. Her observed vocal range from her published videos goes from a C3 up to a G#5 with full support and clarity throughout her range. One of the first things you will notice about Angelina as you listen to more of her music is that she doesn't just sing a song to entertain or show off, but beautifully communicates the story and intent of the song in a way that stirs an emotional response in almost everyone who hears it. There are many ways to approach the journey to experience Angelina's music, and many of the Angelina fans will chime in with their favorites. Here is my suggestion for a starting point: A compilation of her performances on Norway's got talent (4 songs) when she was 7-8 years old - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-O2bX15tYFVk.html "Bohemian Rhapsody" from America's Got Talent at 13 years old - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7gQljxeaNuM.html "I Put a Spell on You" - a cover of the Screamin' Jay Hawkins original - 9 years old - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7gQljxeaNuM.html "Feeling Good" - Live performance on Norwegian Television - 10 years old - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p8kAL-sGJx8.html "Easy on Me" -Adele cover and most recently released video - 15 years old - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Mpw5Q76hWWE.html

What a lovely and in depth comment! Thank you so much for all of the information and for the publicity! This video was delayed in its intended premiere originally because I had to dispute a copyright claim that banned it, which may be why it didn’t make its way into the algorithm as much as some of my other videos on different artists have. I am so happy you enjoyed the analysis and I will be doing more videos on her in the future! I love learning from fans of artists work in the comments and being apart of the insightful musical dialogue! 💜 I will add your links to my list and will certainly have to check out one of her jazz covers next!

Great reaction... yes, you're right, this song has been like an "anthem" for many people; particularly those dealing with the pain of losing their loved ones during the pandemic. People have found so much solace in this song... They totally relate to the emotion and the authentisity in the way Angelina performs; which explains why it is so special and widely popular among her fans... Surprisingly low number of views for such an interesting reaction video... apparently not visible to most people, otherwise her fan base would have plagued the comment section below.

Good suggestion. Any time you have a choice between a produced video of an Angelina song and a live performance, I'd go with the live performance. She absolutely shines when she has the ability to interact with and play off of live musicians. She is an absolute natural when it comes to live performances. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3KxvwuZ7oEM.html

You ain’t seen nothing yet, Angelina has sung in almost every genre and her voice changes and adapts for each style, she is incredibly versatile. I hope you will explore more of her covers and original songs. Her primary influence is Jazz, from the likes of Holiday, Ella, Simone, Armstrong, Sinatra, and R & B from Screamin Jay Hawkins, Adele, Aretha Franklin, Lana Del Rey, and more. Peace.

Angelina has been surprising since she was 6 years old, where she always makes progress towards quality. She worked hard to enrich her natural abilities. Each performance presents good news, whether technical or in its own style, but which matures with each new performance. Defining Angelina requires a lot of work, as she has always been delivering a lot of talent...

A musical prodigy, Angelina Jordan sang for the first time at barely a year old, and she never stopped. The Los Angeles-based 14-year-old singer and songwriter amplified her voice around the globe, racking up over half-a-billion RU-vid views, just shy of 2 billion Facebook views, and praise from Time, CNN, The BBC, and People. Along the way, she performed for world leaders at some of the most influential events in Europe, appeared on European and North American television, and quietly enraptured a growing fan base. In 2020, she brings a soulful signature sound to life with her Republic Records debut. The breadth of Angelina’s soulful and deep alto vocal delivery showcases a rare class of musical aptitude that you would attribute to an old soul, and legendary talent, well beyond her years.

Thank you for this elaborate reaction. It’s really nice to check the background of a singer to get a better feeling of the person and the background. This song really sparks thoughts about losing loved one (especially in these trying times) and being comforted by it. For personal enjoyment and perhaps for future reactions, she has many video (over 150) on RU-vid. Her performances on Norway got talent are worthwhile to listen to and are amazing to see what she was able to do at that age. She can go wild to as ‘I put a spell on you’ will show you. A beautiful live performance is ‘ Feeling good’ from when she was 10: the big TV show, not the outdoor one. This is a original song and she has more originals. I personally like 7th Heaven very much: a nice upbeat jazzy song with nice old school bass. 7th Heaven also has a live studio recording. Recent covers include Heal the world, Billy Jean, Yesterday, Easy on me and Mercy. Many performances to enjoy :-)

Cecilia, it's been very nice to meet you. And, I am so glad you have discovered Angelina. You will soon find out comments from her 'Angels' resemble short stories rather than one liners! We have a lot to say about her. Some of her fans will be sending you playlists and more information about her personal life. I applaud you for doing so much research about her. As I listened to you I knew when you actually heard her begin to sing that her voice would match everything you found out about her. One interesting note is that, although the song was in memory of her grandpa, she wrote the song in a way so that if people experienced a similar situation she hoped they could get comfort from her words. Cecilia, continued success with all you are doing. Please, take your own advice and don't type off the page if you know what I mean. You are brilliant and the 30:40 flew by. You made reference to very young singers and the possible trouble which could alter their course as they age. Cecilia, not only for your enjoyment but to satisfy your in depth analytical qualities I strongly suggest you watch Angelina perform in the Norway's Got Talent Show. She entered the Show at 7 and turned 8 during the taping of the Show. She sings 4 songs (there is a video which covers all her performances) and you actually hear the strength in her voice growing from song to song (one of which she sings a cappella in it's entirety at 7 years old). One last thing, Cecilia, she hasn't been officially marketed yet (family decision) and Republic Records was able to sign her and come aboard only if they adhered to the wishes of her family and they are doing so. They understand they have greatness in their hands and will do everything to protect Angelina and then, in time, present her to the world. The expedition has started already. She has just recorded a sound track for a new movie, 'The Hating Game' and it will introduce Angelina to a whole new audience of contemporary music lovers. 2022 should be a very interesting year.

Thank you for this very well researched reaction to our 6’ tall young lady. I’ve always felt I enjoyed a well rounded appreciation of many forms and styles of music in my 72 years. Sinatra, Lanza, Elvis, Mahelia Jackson, Mathis, all 3 Tenors, etc. I even played guitar and lead vocals in a little group in high school. There are a few performances over the years that got the tears flowing, but Angelina pulls tears on so many songs and some songs get me every time I watch them! The emotions she puts into her live covers are unreal. Many of her fans have this same reaction. I liked and subscribed and will follow every Angelina reaction you do. I like several other newer singers like Aurora and Diana but the facial artistry seems too forced/fake for me. This detracts from the music.

I quite like your explanation of the differences between Angelina and Aurora.

They're so different but both are amazing.

I've watched so many reaction and analysis videos featuring Angelina and while some went into more depth of analysis you gave one of the best videos for new fans of Angelina covering her backstory and covering the meaning of this song and elements of her artistry. I feel that many people making reaction videos are just taking advantage of her success (and others) to enrich their own channels, just reposting her original work without adding anything meaningful and therefore just drawing views from her own channels. I did not feel so here as you made such a good commentary and should bring her some new fans by telling her story and featuring her work in a positive way.

I recognize that comparing Aurora and Angelina is inevitable, as they are both Norwegian, but as artists they are really not at all alike. Angelina is an accomplished jazz singer working on becoming a popular songwriter, where Aurora is an accomplished songwriter with a unique "ethereal" singing style (but not at all a jazz singer). Aurora is also 25, where Angelina is only 15. What they have in common (other than their nationality) is that they both appear to be grounded, self-motivated, dedicated to their art, and in possession of a clear sense of their own style (even though those styles are completely different). Angelina wrote this song as a tribute to her grandfather. In the video, her uncle Michael Astar (also Angelina's manager) plays the "father figure" and Angelina's little sister Juliette plays a younger version of Angelina. Angelina meant this song as a message of hope for everyone who has lost someone recently (as far too many have during the pandemic). I recommend watching some covers to better appreciate Angelina's range of vocal abilities. She has nearly 200 videos on RU-vid now, so it's likely she's covered some of your favorite songs and/or artists. For my part, I find her Adele covers to be better than Adele's originals. I would also argue that she's one of the best jazz vocalists alive today of any age, and not just "for a 15-year-old" (or whatever age she may be in the video you're watching at the time, which could be as young as 6). I look forward to more Angelina reactions!

Angelina's runs are always extremely precise and tasteful The younger 'her' is her little sister Juliette and the 'father figure' is her uncle Michael, who is also her manager. By the way, Angelina live is when she's at her best. I would recommend 'Feeling Good)' ,, there's more than one version. My favourite is ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p8kAL-sGJx8.html 😎

AJ signed with Stargate Production Co. (Beyonce, Rihanna, Sam Smith) and the largest recording company, Republic Records. As of January 28, 2021; her social media presence is equally impressive as she’s racked up over half-a-billion RU-vid views, just shy of 2 billion Facebook views, and has garnered praise from Time, CNN, BBC, and People.

Thanks for the great reaction (very through and insightful) to a vocal tour-de-force! You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most confident, versatile, seemingly effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured across artists, genres, or decades). You may think this an exaggeration but listen to a few more of her many performances (135+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! Nearly one third of her YT performances have more than 1M views each! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday, Nancy Sinatra, and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Michael Jackson to Etta James to James Brown to Amy Winehouse (and many others in between) and do them all justice! If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40 piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library.

I'm enjoying this reaction of yours but would be more interested in your point of view if you're watching her sing close up and live and I would love to hear your reaction of the live studio version. When she dropped the live studio version we were in the beginning and sickness beginning of covid and she dedicated her song to anyone who has ever lost a loved one. She's amazing.

Thank you so much for your research .. it is so respectful and I enjoyed it a lot. How I wish you were reacting to the Live Studio version of this song. So powerful. I recommend that with Angelina .. she is brilliant in the Live Studio versions. She is always brilliant but that is how love her best .. especially this song. You get to hear a lot more of her voice because all this story-video stuff is pretty new to her and it is not her forte. I would love to have you hear the live studio version. I do hear a lot of more detailed type of comment than is normal with reactors, so perhaps it would be the same for you in the Live Studio version. After all you read about her I am surprised it didn't say this was written after her maternal grandfather died .. whom she loved dearly.

If you like the ethereal nature of Norway, you can't do better than to listen to Angelina's own beautiful composition, Oslo. The nearest Angelina gets to classical style is Song For A, which was written for her by Russian composer Nico Cortosio with words by Robert Burns. It is truly ethereal. While I'm here, I must also recommend her rooftop performance of Cole Porter's Every Time We Say Goodbye as age 10. I'd love for you to do an analysis of what she does there that makes it sound so simple and yet so rich and beautiful.

Besides this song originally written by her to honor her Japanese grandfather, Angelina has also honored him by singing in Japanese when she performed in that country. When she was three years old, she told her mom that she wanted to sing for Simon Crowel. She stated on the U.S. show called The View that she first began singing jazz at 1-1/2. I don't believe enough credit for Angelina's fast acceleration into jazz singing was given to her maternal grandmother who was also a child prodigy and undoubtedly realized that some special babies could absorb lyrics and music, as well as singing aloud at an age when most experts would not think was possible.

When I took a class for psychology of music during my masters studies we talked about multiple studies linking to extreme musical intelligence in children that were exposed to complex music such as jazz and classical when infants. I think it is amazing that the inspiration for her music came so much from her grandparents! I will have to look up her singing in Japanese I feel like that would be so special to listen to! Thank you for the info, it is so cool to learn more about this artist.

Angelina's Iranian grandmother, Mery Zamani, was herself a child prodigy (hence the guidance) and is probably the most influential artistic inspiration for Angelina. She spent her earlier years devouring classic jazz and is still fundamentally a jazz vocalist. Her voice and delivery are mesmerizing, and always have seemed miraculous to me. Welcome to her world.😎

Nice to see that you have looked into the background of Angelina. This song is truly from the heart! You refer to her voice sounding like Adele's - she has been singing her songs since she was 5 years old (Rolling in the Deep). Angelina has a natural jazzy style for most of her songs, influenced by many great singers of the past. If you want to keep to the Adele theme, she recently released a cover of Adele's Easy on Me - In the video we get a glimpse of her grandma, an artist and poet in her own right. See what you think - from Angelina's cover channel - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Mpw5Q76hWWE.html

Music is all about communicating with the soul, and as my grandmother once told me, souls communicate in tones not words, that is why mothers are best in selecting names for their babies, because they are intuned with their children's soul tonality... ever met someone named Fred you always want to call Mark? Because for some reason that seems to be the name they should have because the tonality matches the soul or persona? Angleina is a chameleon with her voice... you can't go wrong with almost any of her 144 videos...

Thank you Cecillia for reacting to Angelina.......and thank yo Aurora fans for recommending her. It's refreshing to listen to someone who has the background and insight for analyzing her ability. As you said, she embellishes her songs in the proper places, never showing off. You have just heard a truly gifted artist where here ability is hard to put into words, she's just captivating to listen to. Your views will go up as more of fans discover your on pint reaction. I think you will enjoy any of her covers she has done, she really shines when it's just her and a guitar player, or a backing track and a microphone. As for a live performance to listen to, you can't go wrong with "It's a mans world" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HEm7tGrjIKk.html with the Norwegian Armed Forces Band, recorded on a phone, so the sound quality is perfect, but her ability still shines through. Again great reaction listening to your pespective.

This song is about the death of her Swedish paternal grandfather. It was her first original after signing with Republic. I find it a testament to her inner compass and her faith in her audience to write a pop song about loss and death. Her heartbreaking version of Always on My Mind is also about him, as is her very interesting version of Happier. She lost her otehr grandfather recently too. For a live performance do either of her videos of Feeling Good. Very young she said she is never nervous when she is singing. You might want to go all the way back to when she won Norway's Got Talent with her astounding versions of Gloomy Sunday and Summertime at 7.

Thank you for discovering the young woman I consider the best singer in the world. You have been told in the comments about the genesis of this song, and the performance you featured was the last video uploaded. While excellent, for me, it doesn't resonance with me as much as her Studio performance. I post a link below. Even if you choose not to react to it, you owe it to yourself to watch and listen to one of the most emotionally charged performance Angelina has ever given.

Damn, you are good! This is the best 1st reaction to Angelina I've ever seen, and believe me, I've seen hundreds, so good for you. I just subscribed for more of your excellent analysis & can't wait for more. Many reactors seem to think ignorance is the way to go with reactions, but I prefer research & background info. You really need to listen to her "Live in studio" version of this song. You will soon discover that Angelina is best live & she's even better if you put a big audience in front of her. She not only has all the vocal skills perfected, but her emoting skills are off the charts. I've never felt a singers voice like Angelina's in my 7 decades of listening. But beyond her vocal & songwriting skills, she is the most amazing song arranger, as well. She has been arranging her cover songs to make them unique, since she was at least 8 yo. Sometimes she takes a classic, iconic song & totally transforms it into another song that is a masterpiece in itself. Her "covers" of songs like the Moma's & Papas, California Dreamin' or Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody or Michael Jackson's Billie Jean & many others, are different songs. That's a rare talent!

Please react to her “You Were Always on My Mind” (by Willie Nelson) she places the picture of him on the end table as she sings to him. She even “breaks” in the end when she cries. “The Barefoot Angel” never fails to impress……SanJoséBob
