COME BACK IN 5 YEARS | Angelina Jordan - A Million Years Ago (REACTION) 

she's at home she sang this song and stay that day. In a interview Ivan the guitar player said he messed up three times doing these songs cuz he couldnt focus on his playing ,He kept thinking I never been sitting next to such a natural talent in my life. After his third mistake angelina took him aside and told him very kindly just follow me up the scale and down. He thought she was gonna say you're fired like Trump would say. He was gone at thirteen so maybe he was fired or quit I dont know.

Shes 12 here DonVon. This is my favorite song she ever did at any age, She is the G.O.A.T. IMO

Amy Winehouse is just Amy Winehouse, but Angelina Jordan is a prodigy, destined to be the best of all time, with much respect it is ridiculous to compare her currently (17 years old) with any other singer, Angelina Jordan is simply unimaginable talent, Mexico

Great reaction! If you w ill hear her low, try " How great thou art" 12 years old. Her high Whitney Houston "I got nothing" at 16 (studio version). When it comes to Adele i predict Angelina to go bigger. Compare them both on Adele "Easy on me" Love from Norwegian subscriber that always click like on your videos! By the way this is also a cover from Adele so maybe you check Adele original.

In a world of auto tune notice how pure and simple this (and many others in her covers marathon) is. Just guitar solo and Angelina.

12 year old Angelina just chilling at home with her LA guitarist Ivan Mendez creating a masterpiece. This is a cover of an Adele song. Many prefer Angelina’s version. I think it actually has more emotion.

I think no artist has ever felt the music more than Angelina.

Do that Adele cover. Easy On Me. A MUST listen. Adele WHO??? Trust me 🔥🔥🔥

This is a Adele cover..12.years old her..😊💟..she has singing sins a to years old..startey whit jazz,soul..she can sing everyting..😊💟

You wanna feel a song there’s Angelina

There's no better female singer/songwriter alive today !!!

This is one of Adele's hit songs that Angelina is uncovering. I thoroughly enjoy your comments and your appreciation of Angelina. However, I suggest that for future reactions you at least know in advance something about the song that is being performed. Your appreciation of it is much greater if you know the background, especially if it's a cover or an original. Peace out.

Actually her family managed to protect her really well through her younger childhood even up to current times..turning away many many contracts and performance opportunities allowing Angelina to focus on school and friends.

Anytime we see Ivan Mendez playing guitar for Angelina we know it was 2018 when she was 12 years old. God bless Adele fans who prefer her voice and I respect their opinion, but for me, Angelina's voice is much warmer with more emotion. Alan Papier, on his RU-vid channel, interviewed Ivan Mendez, and we learned a lot. Angelina would ask him if he knew a song and if he did, they set up the camera and the majority of videos we enjoy, were done on the first take. NO practice needed. Angelina is next level in so many ways.

Angelina Jordan, only 17 years old, is considered by many media around the world as a teenage prodigy since her voice has a color and soul available to very few artists. Famous multi-award winning musicians with many Grammys in their bag already consider her the best vocalist of all time. She recently released her new EP “Old Enough” with 7 extraordinary songs, all co-written by her along with all musical arrangements through the currently largest record label Republic Records Universal Music Group (Ariana Grande, Anitta, Taylor Swift, Conan Gray, Colbie Caillat, Akon, Lil Wayne, Nelly, The Weeknd, Post Malone, Lorde, Drake, Mika, Nickelback, Weezer, Sofia Carso, Liam Payne, Zendaya and Julia Michaels, plus of distribution deals with K-pop groups like TXT, Twice, (G)I-DLE, etc...) as a top priority artist since the age of 14

How great thou art (Elvis song) you nevers see any women sing like that, sorry m'y fault im french from Montreal

Angelina was driven by her own passion for music. After winning NGT her mother was asked, what’s next for Angelina? Her answer, school. That she would be allowed to pursue her music as long as it didn’t interfere with school and having a normal childhood. And she kept that vow to this day. AJ was only allowed to do summer concerts and charity events as long as it didn’t interfere with school or childhood. They fought off the biggest names in the industry to protect her from being exploited. And that’s also why she’s just now, at 17, moving into the initial stages of her career. AJ was driven by her love of music. As any real artist is. So her parents and family had to act as brakes and protect her from herself in many ways, until she was mature enough to know the world she was getting into. I think they did a spectacular job of putting AJ first, and if there were a national award for parenting, they deserve it.

These videos with Ivan on the guitar where recorded at 12/13 at home with the two just jamming, these are mostly one-takes. You havent really seen her singing low yet😁. How great though art: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WLAEy1LIHrc.html

12 years old and taking songs from Adele. Ivan Mendes(guitar) said they met at her house after he was off work. They had dinner, talked about music and decided on a song. While he learned chords, she downloaded the lyrics. Then in 1 or 2 takes these songs came out. Usually 1 take, he said more than 1 take was because he messed up

This, for me, is one of her most intensely emotional performances. Heartbreakingly sweet and poignant.

I agree completely with all your thoughts about Amy Winehouse. This is a cover co-written by Adele. You still have some amazing surprises ahead. If you can believe it, she just keeps getting better!

Yes she can hit all the highs and lows

Hi Don Von 👋 my new fellow Angelina Angel 😇 Angelina call 😯 us all her Angels 😇not (Fans) that is special and unique!!!

GREETINGS EARTH GUY: The history of this song is interesting, but that's not why I'm posting. The guitarist said she was hard to work with only because he kept getting lost in her voice. His blissful expressions attest to that.

Another Angelina song that is as good as this one is, you must react to "Stay" and " Wicked Game". You will never hear an Angelina song that you do not like. Thanks for staying on Angelina reactions.

Shes 11 here bro. Still a kid. Thanks for you're reaction. 👍

Angelina is not quite yet an adult. Still 17 until January. Still somewhat under the radar and still relatively unknown. Now graduated from high school with a full album of originals being released probably by Christmas, the full promotion of Angelina should begin soon.

AJ has soooo much more musicality than AW, crosses genres, plus she's not dead.

You’re going to love her back to black cover to her own arrangement at age 10 with orchestra

Age 12 singing at home. Guitarist is Ivan Mendez. This is just after she moved to L.A. Anytime you see these two together she was 12.

Whenever it comes to singing a heartfelt ballad, there is no way a 'Pop' singer, even one as great as Adele, can bring forth the level of emotion laden penetration of a true jazz specialist like Angelina. Listen to her, also casual, rendition of 'Stay' by Rhianna, and the same result comes forth.

She has over 140 covers & it’s all awesome - ENJOY

“It’s such a major difference seeing her as a kid till now.“ Lol. She’s 12 here and still a kid but we so easily forget that because she’s at a master level of singing.

You're still new to Angelina, which makes this even more fun to watch;) Her voice just keeps getting better if you can believe that! The only problem you will have is finding enough adjectives to describe her;) That's a big task to cover all her performances! You have already missed tons and she was only 12 here! lol

Actually Angelina was 12 years old with this cover of Adele’s original song, Angelina takes a classic song and makes it her own, and mostly better than the original, You’ve missed three phenomenal songs when Angelina was 10 years old, 1st song ( Feeling Good) live on the Stream, 2nd ( I Will Survive) and 3rd song ( I’m Still Holding Out For You) all Angelina’s amazing performances, great reaction thanks 🙏

Sounds like an Angelina original, right? It's actually an Adele song, released with the album "25" when Adele was 27yo (Angelina is 12yo here). It's not that well known, but it was at least nominated for an Emmy. The song's lyrics touch upon themes of fame, and how it "frightens", talking about how fame has personally affected Adele and everyone around her, singing about how she misses the air, her mother, and her friends. Very personal, so it's amazing that Angelina conveys these feelings even more emphatically than the original. Because that's the real talent that Angelina has - to convey feelings to the listener that touch the heart and soul like no other singer can. Do you remember your first Angelina reaction video (You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine)? And I think Angelina can understand Adele's thoughts quite well, after all, she had just moved to LA at the time and left all her friends and her Norwegian home in Oslo. As I said, Angelina is 12yo here, once you get to 15yo Angelina, be sure to check out her version of Adele's "Easy on Me"! Angelina's version of Rihanna's "Stay" also has a similar effect to "Million Years" - perhaps the latter is even a little more haunting. Angelina always had her tessitura in the contralto range (as did Amy, so her tone/texture often comes to mind). But Angelina has always been able to go much "higher" when necessary. As for the high notes - that depends on what you mean by that. For a high (soprano) pitch, check out "Unchained Melody" during the Lindmo interview (she's 9 there) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wGjqXxQbFgA.html. If that means "belting", check out her Whitney tribute (the one where she uses the same key as the original - Angelina was 12yo, almost 13) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eTcvvO6B3Io.html.

this is one of my very favorite performance and i love the guitarist Ivan Mendez

She will be full on Elvis level. Just her presence will send people on an emotional rollercoaster. Public hysteria level!

I loved your comments about Amy (RIP) She had the potential to "take the world by storm" She was going to bring Jazz to the masses. Many say Angelina is Amy 2.0 An analogy I like to use... If Amy = Star Wars Angelina = Empire Strikes Back

Sitting down reading the lyrics off an ipad....kills this song.

Nice to see you again 😊 Angelina was 12 years old here, being accompanied on guitar by Ivan Mendez. He was her guitarist for one year after she moved to LA at 12. The two did quite a number of performances like this together. I think you should check out her cover of Stay by Rihanna, again only these two. Or California Dreaming. Love from Norway 🇸🇯❤️🇺🇸🔥

Why did I never hear of Amy Winehouse until I found Angelina. I heard Elvis, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Adele, Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, many; but never AW. Just asking.

She had an adult voice and master vocal skills at 10. There are many great performances, crossing several genres at 10 and she is not afraid of any song, by any icon or from any decade.

Ivan Mendez is her guitarist when she and her family moved to California. These sessions with Ivan are impromptu in her home and as Ivan has related to super fan Alan Papier these sessions are one and done! Ivan is invited to dinner and after dinner AJ goes over a book of songs and selects one that appeals to her (may listen to the song on YT); then ask Ivan if he knows this song and if not she gives Ivan a few minutes to learn the chords...then off the go!! Notice that AJ occasionally look to her left to read the lyrics. They have done several of these sessions only a handful has made there way to YT (Always on my Mind (dedicated to her paternal grandfather), California Dreamin', Happier, Stay, What is Life and others where Ivan is not visible How Great Thou Art and Wake me Up (dedicated to her friend Avicii)).

Ivan always came over to her home, and that's where they recorded. And these songs were never planned ahead. They were just talking about music, and every now and then they wanted to try and perform a song which they both liked. Ivan had a few minutes to learn the chords, and Angelina was reading the lyrics. She never had the lyrics down beforehand. That's why you always can see her read the lyrics off an iPad or tablet either on her lap or to her left. These recordings are most of the time a first take and a one take. This has been confirmed both by Ivan and Egil in interviews. Egil played for her from she was 7 until she moved. They said that if they indeed needed a second take, it was always on the guys and never Angelina. Still to this day Angelina is known to producers as a one and done artist. This puts her in a league with only a handful of other artists. Sam Smith being one of them. To be able to sing with so much emotion while at the same time reading the lyrics in a foreign language when you are 12 years old is just incredible. Prodigious 🙂 Love from Norway 🇸🇯

Angelina's family would invite Ivan over and after dinner they would consider different songs and Angelina would say let's do this one (whether either knew the song and /or lyrics). This result was a first or second take in that context. Simply extraordinary!

You make me smile, because she was 12 yo on this recording.

If you have questions I strongly suggest watching Born to Sing, a bio about Angelina’s singing career.

She is just a joy to listen to. Nobody like her.

I seen a mash up they did of angelina and adele with this song and angelina sounded better hands down and she was only 12 adele was a grown woman. So I totally agree with you Don Von 100%

Life is going to be very good for you going forward. You get to listen to some wonderful vocals from Angelina at this age and onwards. You will be 50 reactions in to her catalogue and will still be shocked with the beauty of her vocals all the time. I have not been able to believe it in my short time as an Angelina fan. Very nice reaction, thanks.

She will be 18 in January 2024😊

Grammy worthy at the age of 12 . Yes recording at home shortly after moving to LA from Norway. SHE TAKES MY BREATH AWAY. Never has their been an artist with the ability to capture the emotions in a song and convey the message so authenticity. In one take Unrehearsed Twelve Reading the lyrics “Her story” is just beginning. Even though she is about to turn 18 in January her story is just beginning. Grammys will follow Angelina throughout her career. Legend is the perfect word already. Even at twelve.

I agree fully with your reaction. Angelina has done lots of covers (like this one is) and also a reasonable amount of original songs as well. We must take into account that Angelina is only 17 so who knows what is laying ahead for her and for us. To me one of the good things what has happened the last 10 years is that the people around Angelina have protected her from too much publicity and media-hunters. Singing is her "second nature", she can perform different genres of music very well, and it is so good she has the chance to develop in the direction she wants to do. Her lable has provided a recordingstudio for her, so she can experiment and rehearse as much as she wants and at the pace she can handle: apparantly they have recognized that they have a unique singer "in the pocket" and I think they will not regret this approach. At the end it will pay off at both sides. Too many young singers has been damaged mentally (depression and worse) because of to much pressure on their shoulders at a young age. And I have the impression that Angelina really loves to do what she is doing and I think that's the only right road to a long carrier. I mean: she has been involved in almost every arrangement she has sung since she was 7-8 years of age.... How many kids can say that? Not many....

Great reaction....you nailed it.........

Makes me cry every time I listen to this!

She has a reputation of touching hearts with her interpretations of covers more than the original artists. It's not just this song. Songs are filtered through her emotions filled jazz and blues foundations. She often brings grown men to tears. It's so beautiful and so heart felt. This is her home music corner where she has done some of her best work. The guitar player, Ivan Mendez, said in an interview it was sometimes difficult playing for her because she was so good it was distracting. He couldn't believe he was playing for someone that good. Loving your reactions to her. I love that distinction, some are artists and some, like her, are legends.

You missed a lot of her covers when she was 11. She is only 12 in this video. I am an Adele fan but Angelina's covers of Adele songs at 12 is already richer and more soulful than Adele's. She already passed Adele.

She's actually 17 years old now.Listen to her sing"Now I'm the fool ".It's one of her own songs and it's a banger.

10 years old she did feeling good and still holding out for you either one is one of her best at. 10 years old. Wild bill

12 not 14 who has her vocal range as a n adult let alone a 12 year old!!

Angelina is covering an Adele song in this video.

OUTRAGEOUS!!! Next level talent.

I like checking out your reactions of Angelina Jordan ❤

Love watching you discover the most gifted vocalist I’ve ever heard and I was born in Motown in 1964. Raised on great music and I’ve never heard anyone like her. She’s already been invited by Quincy Jones to sing at his birthday. Queen, after hearing her version of Bohemian Rhapsody, gave her the legal rights to her version. Her version of “I Have Nothing” by Whitney Houston will blow your mind. AJ can sing any song and make it her own while paying homage to the original artist. She’s such a gift.

Great, thanks!! It's very welcome to see a reactor as good as you are discovering Angelina for the first time. I can't say I'm interested in any other female vocalist since I discovered her myself. Thanks so much!

Don, sir, Miss Angelina is now officially a vocalist, her first single makes waves, as a song for a commercial SoFi used it for theit campaign and is heard everywhere. You be safe and sound, OOOH, I forgot, some people estimate her vocal range today between 2,5 and 4 octaves. Elmar from Germany

This is but, one of the gems of this period in her life. Riveting! Reportedly there are ten more of these that are unreleased. This was recorded in the music room of her house in LA. btw, she is twelve years old here. Amazing! Rb

She has done 7-9 Adele covers and each one I prefer over the original. I believe she is the G.O.A.T. The world will come to realize this in time. She will become a Legend with her own Genre. Agree with Poolhallshark, her cover of Stay is the next song for you.

Fourteen? Would you believe TWELVE?! This was in a room in her home in Los Angeles with Ivan Mendez on guitar looking mesmerized by her! Lol!

Thanks 👍

Bro! she singing at her crib. Usually does one or two takes and then record. Crazy good voice, and she can go deep! check out her singing "Happier" same dude on the guitar and at her home again. great reaction bro'

I agree wt you von thanks bro.

Great reaction thank you she is awesome 👍 heaven sent wild bill

Hi Don .. like @poolhallshark wrote Angelina is at age 12 here and it is a Adele Song who was released at 2015 on the Album: 25 .. .. and this is one of her "Quick Recordings" she did at Home .. she picked a song , Ivan had 5 min to get the Cords and then Hit Record without any practice! .. mostly Recorded by her Grandma Mery or a fixed Camera. Those are raw recordings in one take ! Ivan mentioned that in an Interview .. once they did a second take because he messed up .. he was destructed by her Voice .. who will blame him for that ?? Angelina got that Mic - a Neumann TLM 102 - as a Gift at her 12th Birthday .. did you noticed Angelina looked sideways? .. she read the Lyrics while singing .. and remember.. Angelina is Norwegian and English isn't her first Language ..

Since your first reaction to AJ, I could see that you understood what a once in a lifetime talent she was. You discussed what separates artists and singers, and you talked about the abilty to feel the music. I would add two things: with AJ she has the ability to project that emotion back at you, and she uses that superpower like a knife! Also, she puts in the work! For real! So much so, that Republic Records built her a studio, and reportedly, she practically lives there. Can't wait till you make it to her new music, will blow your mind!!!

This was recorded over 5 years ago when she was 12, so you can progress 5 years from this performance to Angelina today at 17, any time you want. Her vocals are more mature with more range & control. Her recently released EP, "Old Enough," has 6 original songs, 2 with music videos the other 4 are audio only. She is Supermodel beautiful & stands 6'1" tall with the most soulful, emotional voice I've ever heard. Here is a link to the music video, Now I'm the Fool, from her EP, just in case you want a sneak peek at what's happening today, just before she explodes on the music scene. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8BXCVY_-RmU.html Then you can go back 5 years where you left off, to follow her progression. Just a thought.

Great reaction, she does sing with the emotion as if she’s lived it!

"As big as Adele" what do you mean by that? awards/fame wise? because vocally she is passed both Adele and Amy long time ago!

Keep Rolling with Angelina

I love your reactions to Angelina Jordan's songs. I really wish you would react to a cover she did dozen she was 6 years old. It's called "I Who Have Nothing." You talk about her range and power. This song will really show you her talent at 6 yrs old! Thank you!

Great reaction. Think that is her low voice? You should check out "How Great Thou Art". She does a cover of Elvis' version, in the same key that Elvis sang it in, which is LOW.

Great Reaction 👍🙏👣🌹

Not anyone but our barefoot princess she doesn't do covers she makes magic ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ wild bill

Try to fit "Stay" into your reactions. It was the first song of hers I ever heard. I have followed her ever since.

I love this journey. (Did I allready put that to my comment before?) All true anyway. 🤨👍 👣 DonVon, - she is already 5 years ahead from this one you know, and I say - she is there, so you keep up your exitement. You`r on track for sure. Angelina, 12 years old in this Adele cover, (she has done a few so far) and some might say she almost outshine THAT star already. Might be a bit over the top though, but still - both Adele and Amy are great inspirational forces to Angelina, among quite a few others, that is. Be awear my friend, you`ve jumped both Angelina at 10 and 11 years old. Massive matureing and development year by year, is like a trade mark for Angelina. I do understand that you may struggel to do this all step by step, (I seriously do admire those who has shown the will and strength to do so), to cover every stage of her development. Curiousity will knock hard and strong to get to her curent level rather fast. As one who has followed her all the way during this first decade of hers, in art, it has been AMAZING to follow her day by day, until I finaly got to see AND HEAR her live in consert last summer. And then THIS years performances . . . . . 👣😮🤩😍 You need to follow your way, but remember, and be sure, to jump back to get ALL the pearls she has brought us, when you feel the time is right. What ever and how ever you`ll shape your Angelina Jordan journey, I, and we all, will follow and love what you do. As a new angel in our ever growing flock and comunity, you will be appriciated and we are looking out for every new reaction you put out, and we will love and cheer for you all the way 👏👏👏👏 😉 🤗

You should check her out at 10 yrs old singing " Still Holding Out For You" radio ready at 10

I loved Amy Winehouse. I cried like a baby when she died.

Great Analogy, Great Reaction 👍

Angelina will be bigger than Adele and Amy Winehouse. MHO.

Angelina is a singer's singer.

I was unable to find a Playlist for Angelina Jordan.. so we don't know what your missing from AJ...

😊😍🤩 So moving.

Great reaction! You said it, she's a legend! !

Shes in her Music Corner at home in LA, This is the first take....

Well, you said you wanted Adele. 🙂

She wrote a song (( Million Miles ) about her grandfather who passed away

She's only 12 yo here. Loved your reaction!

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
