These are Angelina's lyrics. Her mother saw the original Amy Winehouse lyrics and told her she was not going to sing those. Angelina had about 24 hours to completely rewrite the lyrics before the recording session. Not only are her lyrics impressive on their own but they fit the original music so well that no changes had to be done to the music score for the orchestra.
Josh, these are not the lyrics for for Amy's Back to Black. The day before Angelina was scheduled to record this with the KORK Orchestra, her Mom read the "adult" lyrics about sex, drugs & a bad relationship & told her if she wanted to sing this song she would have to re-write the lyrics. She wrote these lyrics in less than 24 hours & they fit perfectly in the melody so the orchestra didn't have to change anything to fit the new lyrics. She walked into the studio, kicked off her sneakers & sang the song twice (since she didn't like the 1st take). She posted this raw video the next day with no post production. These lyrics about "love" are not official from her, they are what some fans believe she sang, but there is some debate about a few parts. This really shows what a genius songwriter she is.
When you soon listen to her EP Old enough especially to the lyrics of Good in Good byes, you will see Angelina is always on her way to the light and not to the dark side if Life. A deep reason to change the dark lyrics of Back to Black 🖤 so sorry nobody could help Amy at the end, RIP At 11y she recorded her Album it's magic 🪄 with two own written Songs. Please react to her first Song What is life 🥰 there is also an acoustic version Astonishing lyrics about life from an 11y old girl 🎉 The other Song is Oslo, her beautiful tribute to her hometown
Josh, I always enjoy your reaction and analysis to Angelina Jordan. For a 10 year old to write new lyrics within 24 hours of the recording session and then only need a couple takes to complete the video, is mind-blowing. I highly suggest reacting to "I'm Still Holding Out for You" which is a demo Angelina recorded one week before her 11th birthday. Many angels say, it is one of her all time best vocal performances.
Recommendation: Simply do not rush through the years. You will regret it. No need to get to the current day quickly. Once you are there, you will wish that you had her younger years, but you will have ruined your synthesis of them by rushing to get to a goal you don't need to get.
You just read Angelina's lyrics, she rewrote this the original lyrics aren't age appropriate and her mom said rewrite or don't do it. amazing 24 hrs later she had this version
I think maybe she hears and sees the music “pre-recorded” in her head and has an idactic memory for all the music she has ever been exposed to. Someone in that family was a singer, that mic when she was 1 1/2 years old was in that house for a reason, and it wasn’t because Sara thought her infant daughter was all of a sudden gonna start singing in her bed. lol!
Josh, I really enjoy your thoughtful analysis of the lyrics, the musicality, and the technique of each performance. My feeling is for you not to worry to much about following Angelina's career chronologically. That is unless you want to. The spoiler alert is that she has continued, until the present, to grow as a artist and a human being. Today she is working with some of the best people in the music business but always remains uniquely her own person. And believe me she always continues to surprise you with each new song and performance. But going back to her younger years never gets old either and offers just as many surprises as well. At this point my favorite performance from Angelina is usually the last thing that I've listened to, no matter what the age. But it is very exciting as well watching her step onto the world stage at events both large and small. ❤
Happy to have you back Josh. Hope all is getting better with family and you are well too. Your Angelina reactions are always well worth watching. One song she did at 11 is the studio recording/rehearsal for "I'm A Fool To Want you" (Billy Holiday) which she is recording for her Album "it's Magic" There are two versions, one with the actual band music playing, the other is the "raw" recording without the band track playing...that is the one to get an insight to her musical brilliance. Cheers, and Blessings. 🥰🥰
HELLO, SO GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK. EXCUSE THE UPPERCASE LETTERS MY EYESIGHT IS NOT SO GOOD SO I NEED IT TO READ WHAT I WRITE. I WOULD LIKE YOU TO HEAR AJ'S IT'S A MANS WORLD I BELIEVE SHE WAS 11 HERE. I REALLY LOVED IT. SHOCKED ME AT FIRST NEVER IMAGINED THE WAY SHE SANG IT. I THINK MR. JAMES BROWN WOULD HAVE LOVED IT.
Good luck to your son with his recovery and hope your family things are sorted..love your reactions..it’s a privilege for a non music person such as myself to see a vocalist experience Angelina’s voice..thank you for taking another look at my favourite artist ..as for her musicality..as the Norway’s Got Talent judge stated “you are music”…
It is impossible to chose the best Angelina Jordan performances because they are all great - but two 11-year-old live concert performances you might like are Lovin' You and Diamonds Are Forever (go with the ones from Kaleidoscope RMX - remastered sound).
Here is the explanation for this song from Angelina's ( 10y !!!) video's description. Just in case you missed it. "Here it is, We recorded this yesterday with amazing orchestra KORK. My version of "Back to Black by Amy Winehouse" I had *1 day to change the lyrics* , hope you like my version! " 💯 *AJ* 💯 👣 The Norwegian Radio Orchestra (Norwegian, Kringkastingsorkestret, abbreviated as KORK) is a very popular orchestra throughout Scandinavia and beyond (In this video, of course, only the instruments needed for this song are not the entire orchestra) . 🤗🤗
The lyrics you read were written by Angelina Jordan, not the original lyrics by Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson - she rewrote the original lyrics to make it more age-appropriate for a 10-year-old to sing. This an early example of Angelina's songwriting skills. Angelina has been writing songs since she was 10 years 0ld - So far 12 have been released: Oslo, What is Life?, Shield, Million Miles, 7th Heaven, Love Don't Let Me Go, Now I'm The Fool, Fire and Rain, All My Fault, Good in Goodbyes, Diamond, and Our Time. Angelina has stated that she has written about 100 songs that have yet to be released. Her songs are taken from her Journal writings. When she was 10/11 she rewrote the Lyrics to Amy Winehouse's Back to Black and Rehab to make them more age appropriate at that time. In addition, Angelina performed an unreleased original song Princess of Ruins at her Las Vegas concerts - if and when that is officially released it will be her 13th original...
Thank you for coming back. I always enjoyed your reactions. Angelina edited the lyrics to make them more age appropriate. Besides having the innate talent she was born with, Angelina was born into a family that quite clearly knew the meaning of love, and who practiced that love on all, but most especially on their children; and this is where Angelina is coming from when she's on stage and singing. It shows in everything she does. It's why we love her so much. And for me, she is beyond very special.
🤎👣 Angelina's own lyrics, which she rewrote the day before this which still accommodate the music without modification. Not an appropriate song for a 10 year old with Amy's original lyrics. Somehow, it seems that Angelina's lyrics are being credited to Amy and Mark! Angelina is just a force of nature even as a pre-teen.
I think you have a great take on Angelina and music. Enjoy your take on things. Yes---musicality. I think she has a lot in common with Stevie Ray Vaughn when it come to this as it is something that you have, you are not taught.
Amy's lyrics to this song are much sadder than Angelina's - almost depressing. On the other hand, when Angelina describes love problems, there is always a way out in a positive direction (think back to this when you get to the EP Old Enough). All of Angelina's lyrics have a deeper meaning, no matter which "era" of her oeuvre they come from - which is sometimes harder to convey to the audience than the usual la-la-la. When it comes to her musical abilities and all the tools that one shouldn't master until much later, you're absolutely right, there aren't many of her age peers who even come close to that. Breath control is one of those things that's just unbelievable considering her age. 2016 was indeed an outstanding year - usually TV contest winners disappear after a few months, unlike that - what Angelina did that year is just amazing and we are blessed that most of it is documented (although it's the same for 2017 and 2018 and without a doubt we would be in a very different place now if it hadn't been for the COVID "break"). It is true that she seems to have been born for it and has been gifted by nature with some predispositions for it, but the deeper understanding and knowledge you mentioned does not come without her own effort. Even though this is one of the most viewed videos, many are of the opinion that it's not really the best of this year - you've already seen three other highlights, but there's a lot that one can/must still recommend. It would be a VERY shame if that was all we got to see from you this year. At least "Summertime with KORK", Sing me to sleep & faded from Alan Wlaker's homecoming concert and maybe also "Here comes the sun" and "Autumn leaves". “You raise me up” is also interesting, but for different reasons. I also particularly like "White Christmas" in a duet with ESC winner Alexander Rybak (unfortunately a Christmas song...). And remember - 2020 (14yo) was a lost year, there is next to nothing and very little from 2021. Fun fact: when I look up Angelina's lyrics on the internet, it says "Song by Angelina Jordan" and in the credits "Songwriter: Amy Winehouse / Mark Ronson" ;-) .
More than being depressing, Amy’s original lyrics had sex and drug references that more than anything made them inappropriate for a 10 year old. Yes 2020 was kind of a lost year because of Covid. However Angelina did release her amazing original Million Miles. She actually did release quite a bit in 2015. Covers of Easy On Me, All I Ask, Mercy, Yesterday, Heal The World and Billie Jean as well as another great original 7th Heaven.
@@pjg58x Covers of Easy On Me, All I Ask, Mercy, Yesterday, Heal The World, and Billie Jean were released in 2021 - not 2015 - However, Angelina was 15 in 2021.
I was really hoping that you would compare the lyrics to each other or at least read them as Angelina was singing. AJ’s lyrics are COMPLETELY different. To be able to write and perfectly fit them to the original music in such a short period of time is nothing short of genius.
Nice reaction and good to see you back. For me at 11 "Its A Mans World" and anything she did with Egil her guitar player between 9 and 11. For 12 I think "Stay (Rihanna) and "Million Years Ago" (Adelle) are very very good. Sorry about any spelling mistakes :)
Miss Angelina did a concert in the Proysenhuset festivalen, a beautiful little festival in honor of Alf Proysen, a poet. This is realy good. I link you with the whole concert and you can pick for yourself: ru-vid.com/group/PLbc1I8fGx6k3r24e_MueQ0OG23yTPquTt The band loved to work with her and had a tremendous amount of respect for her. EfG
😇 na was told by her mama she had to change the lyrics and she had one day to do that are not record the song Angelina came up with the song being more about lol ve
Lovin' You and Ain't No Sunshine mashup get my vote for 11 years old! I always thought It's a Man's World was 12 years, if 11 is correct, then you absolutely need to react to that one. Good luck with 12...one after another after another of greatness, with Stay at the top of my list. You may need to add a couple more spots...lol. Have a great day Josh!

Sir, as she wrote this in 24 hours, we just guessed about the song. But now seing it I am pretty sure, Miss Angelina wrote this to Amy Winehouse. How disapointed she was and is in the world and Amy. Elmar from Germany
The performance was recorded in two complete takes - Angelina didn't like the first take so she insisted that she do a second take - here is a video showing her reaction to the first take - the spoken language is Norwegian: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eyCxlDo-wis.html
Her whole album It's Magic is from this period and would be a great set of reactions. The three instrumental tracks could be left out. Sci Fi you say? Care to guess where my RU-vid handel came from?
She was older for "It's Magic." it was recorded in Nov 2017 when she was 11y 10m, & wasn't released until June 2018 when she was 12y 6m. The following day was the outdoor concert with the Norway Military Band the fortunately was recorded by Boris Palinovski.
@keithserafy I knew she was 11 when recording it but didn't know how 11, meaning closer to ten or closer to 12. In any case, I hope he gets to it at some point since it's great! 🤎👣
You do know that Angelinas lyrics are not the original lyrics Amy Winehouse had Amy's were darker and had sexual connection and outright sexual depiction as well as the lyrics about falling back to black which is heroin?
It’s funny you spent 6 minutes reviewing lyrics that were not used for this song, since Angelina rewrote the lyrics to make them more age appropriate, but it should point to the genius of Angelina’s artistry that she can rewrite a song and have the same feel as the original.
Welcome back to Angelina - you have missed a lot - she is now 18! One way to get caught up is to watch the recent 16 min documentary: Angelina Jordan 10 Years in the Making: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I_59PZXkusc.html
As a fact and fun fact, Miss Angelina was quiet furious with herself, because they had to do a SECOND take of the song. SHE herself made an ERROR, how horrible.🤣😂 She has immens patience with others, but not with herself. There is a video about this.
@@Raminagrobis-ty2wk As I said, There is a video out there about her in the engineers booth, her face slowly getting miffed. A part one of the Archangel told us. PEACE.
Check out AJ's version of Gloria Gaynors "I Will Survive" she's only 10 years old here. Unfortunately, its audio only, but truly astonishing. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ma7sa_n7k-8.htmlsi=5UaDgDxE32ZReTaI
I'm disappointed that you didn't use a better version of Angelina's lyrics for this song. (I'm almost certain I warned you about this and gave you a better version under one of your other reactions to her.) The lyrics you used here ultimately come from a certain lyrics website that, despite being ostensibly "crowd sourced", apparently will never, ever change their version of the lyrics, despite the fact that they contain many very obvious errors. Sigh… Since it's been so long since I did this, I'll go ahead and repost the version of the lyrics that's as close as I can get to what she actually sings. I used the lyrics you found as a starting point and changed them as necessary based on what I heard (and saw) her singing in this video, cross-referenced with the first take from this same recording session which they (mostly?) didn't end up using, and the first 3 times she sang it live (which were all at least somewhat different). The lines I am still unsure about are marked with an asterisk. I have gone mad by your love Crazy, sick, and mad I laugh, I cry, I love When I see you with others I cry With strangers you are high Alone and with no one I cry I'm thinking of you and I cry In loneliness behind this lie * From this fun part of life * Every night you become a star And I laugh at stars Shame they get it so far * I'm the one who speaks to the moon I didn't want to be in love I fall back to I fall back in I fall back in love I love you so I laugh at you I have no one but the wind I have gone away so many times Just to forget 'bout you But I fall in love with you again I'm the one who speaks to the moon I didn't want to be in love I fall back to I fall back in I'm the one who speaks to the moon I didn't want to be in love I fall back to I fall back in I fall back and Laugh Laugh Laugh Laugh Laugh Laugh Laugh I'm still laughing I'm still laughing I'm the one who speaks to the moon I didn't want to be in love I fall back in I fall back in I'm the one who speaks to the moon I didn't want to be in love I fall back to I fall back in love
My top picks for age 11 would be "Cry Me a River" (the Arthur Hamilton song) live at Prøysenfestivalen in July 2017 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pmUA7IdF9RE.html and "Mary's Boy Child" live on NRK radio in December ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-38igakHk9_I.html . They are both quite low-key affairs, so I don't expect they will "win" the informal poll you're doing. But I like 'em.
I leave as a suggestion for your reaction #gabrielHenrique the talented Gabriel Henrique covering Whitney Houston's I HAVE NOTTING. In the voice of Gabriel Henrique.
Strange that the lyrics you read are credited to Amy Winehouse and Marc Ronson. These are Angelina’s own lyrics as the original lyrics were not appropriate for a 10 year old.
There’s a link in the video description toward the bottom to my website if you want to check it out. My book is available at like Barnes and Nobles and on Amazon. Thanks.
Nice reaction - it would be interesting to see you react to her development. Another suggestion - interested in hearing what it sounds like when Julliard trainged opera singer takes on a classic rock anthem like Dream On? Of coruse you do - esp when it was done with Post Modern Jukebox. Take a look at this amazing performance by Morgan James: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Yq4KA0mUnC8.html
