Egil Clausen, Angelina's main guitarist in Norway from when she was 7-12 yo, bobs his head to keep time, in fact some fans have given him the nickname "Bobblehead." This time he was really rockin' out, so when Angelina glanced over to him with his exaggerated bobbing, she broke out laughing. Just so you know!
@@kerrythomas6220Angelina was still living in Oslo when she turned 12, so Egil played for her from 7 to early 12, then they moved to LA where Ivan took over for the remainder of her 12th year. Not sure what your point was, but that may clear it up.
One of my favourites...such quality, such tone, such originality, so smooth, so easy listening.....Soooooo goooood the magic ever present, like some form of musical halo.....brilliant......
Most likely, her grandma is recording this with a cell phone or camcorder off the sound in the room, like you said. But it sounds like her mic is fed into a speaker.
Grandma Mery records on her camcorder! Angelina is too busy reading the lyrics from her phone to notice what her grandma is looking at. Near the end Angelina sees that grandma is laughing, so she takes a quick glance to see Egil. She holds it together for a few seconds, then can't take it anymore. Egil comments that he is just rocking (his method of keeping time}..
You are basically correct about a bedroom cover. These videos with Egil or Ivan on guitar are just basically home recordings, not studio recordings. They are what they are, recorded with a video camera or possibly cell phone. No producer, engineer or post production tricks.
12 year old Angelina with one of her many at home videos. Egil Claussen had played guitar for her since she was about 7 or 8 years old. Alan Papier, on his RU-vid channel, interviewed Egil and also Ivan Mendez who played guitar for Angelina in California, only in 2018, when she was 12. Both guitarists told the same story, of being invited to Angelina's home and socializing with them for hours before, late at night, Angelina would ask the guitarist, if he knew a song. If he did, then they started the video camera and in most cases did only one take. No practice.
@@kerrythomas6220 My best guess that they didn't fully move to LA until Angelina was on AGT in late 2019. There is plenty of video of Angelina in Norway in 2018 and 2019.
I'm pretty sure you're right about the way it was recorded, Boudy. The room reverb sounds so natural, right? If you want to hear a better recording of Angelina with minimal or no processing, you should watch her one-take recording of a vocal for I'm A Fool To Want You, at age 11. The video I'm linking is from Teta Mery's channel, and she filmed it in the vocal booth with Angelina. I hope you can find time to get to this one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-79tM-Spcr1Q.html
Brother, I think this was recorded at egil clausen's home studio. Could it be that her mike and his guitar were plugged into an amp or amps, then recorded on a phone? Also does you Playlist include her grandma Mery's youtube channel. Their are over 330 videos on it. That's about 6 1/2 years worth of Angelina Mondays. Her grandma's channel is 'Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz '🙂🖖
From the other comments it seems that her Mike was not plugged in. Hey, I am 68 yrs. old with tinnitus 😂 . I will be in Las Vegas for her 2 shows and I was at the Portsmouth concert. What a blessing ! 🙂🖖
I always press the thumbs up, just to indicate to myself that I watched the whole video; unless I hate a video and press the thumbs down (does not apply to AMR).
Every now and again I can see bits of her Japanese heritage come out. Here her bushy eyebrows and wide, flat cheekbones show. She mostly tries to fit into a Western standard of beauty, but I think she is prettiest when she lets her exotic parentage show. Regardless, she is absolutely the GOAT!
You're about 100+ videos short of watching all her videos she has on YT. You have a long ways to go, unless you're getting bored of listening to one of the World's most phenomenal young talents. 🤔😏🤗
yes, the video/audio was recorded on an iphone, Egil & AJ were plugged in, the monitor was ON, ambient recording of amplified sound in the attic, nuff said ;)
❤finally AJ Monday. You delivered again! Thanks. Great technical insight and explanation. You’re skirting the plum in the pudding “Portrait of a child” jamming session with volume changes and more. Cover the Jay Hawkins original first, it’s a classic. ❤
Thanks Boudy..... you have no idea just how many many of these recordings Angelina made, and oh so many recorded on a phone or a hand held camera with no microphone anywhere to be seen, just pure unadulterated, raw, no mix, no production and absolutely no Auto tune.... just pure Angelina vocals. I still can't recall ANY artist that does this...correct me if I am wrong, still trying to find one, maybe you know. 😎😎 Thanks for AJ Monday's. 🥰🥰
You are not wrong ,she has done 100's of these ,one of her guitarist said these are one take, no practice, they just picked a song about a hour before they sing it
Always LIKE!!! if one could like 100x/video would be great... AJ Mondays till end of time😅😊 like that. What else can be better? AJ Monday+Thursday. 😂❤ Boudy! You CAN be wrong!! And you won't be a fool! You make an educated guess and found it with knowledge and experience. And if you are wrong, so be it. WE don't judge you for that! WE appreciate to learn from your knowledge. YOU should also not judge yourself for sth like that. The REST is disposable! 😊 Love and Kindness for the week. ❤. See you next Monday my friend. Greetings from Germany
Yeah this is a major flex. No doubt her laughing at Egil at the end changes the feel. But they could have put out the mix anyway, and chose not too, because they heard this and decided to show us how gorgeous that high soft raw voice is, I guess. Man that's insanely beautiful towards the end. 🥰🤩
No stupid I think. Egil her guitarist told in an interview, there's always a magic 🪄 with her first take. she's laughing because of his bobblehead, he's deep in her magic world of music 🎶 🎉😂 They the same with the WH song..i will always love you, a crazy good rehearsal ❤🎉
The casual 'at home 'sessions she makes with either Egil or Ivan on guitar, are truly exceptional and a testament to the fact she doesn't need a full orchestral set up or professional studio to make beautiful music.
I hate to disagree with you about how the audio on this is being presented. But through my headphones I can definitely hear reverb on her voice as well as the guitar. So it is not a live unprocessed sound that we are hearing because there's definitely amplification and reverb on the guitar as well as her voice. She could simply be singing through an amplifier but Angelina does have recording, and amplification equipment in her home at that time. Whatever's going on her voice sounds absolutely beautiful. Even at 12 years old she is an absolute wonder. What a magnificent talent.
This performance is amazing - your observation is great: she sings softly with power. I love how she uses her arms on this song and closes her eyes… in the zone.
Nice reaction Boudy! Amazing what she can do with just a mic and her guitarist/partner Egil Clausen. This is raw and I love it. This particular video that many Angels have seen gave way to many giving Egil the nickname The Human Bobblehead! The way he gets in to and feel of the music...bobbing his head to the beat. As you saw, even Angelina thought it was funny and laughed!
As others have pointed out, we are hearing the ambient sound in the room, but her vocal was being piped through a speaker, with a little reverb added to it (same with the guitar). Almost all of her covers with Egil at around this same time were done that way, including the first few videos on her CoverChannel. After she started to record videos in L.A. with the other guitarist, Ivan (whom you have seen in the videos for "Million Years Ago" and "California Dreamin'"), they shifted to recording her voice directly from the mic (through the "line", or the "board", or however you want to put it), which resulted in a great leap forward in terms of audio quality. Still, if you're not bothered by the "karaoke-like" audio of her covers with Egil, a lot of them are really excellent. (Big surprise…) As for the ending, a lot of people say she was laughing at how Egil was bobbing his head as he played. But that can't be the explanation, because she had seen him doing that for about 3½ years at that point (there's a video of her at 8 trying not to laugh out loud at Egil bobbing his head in exactly the same way as he accompanies her on "What a Difference a Day Makes"). Also, she had already glanced over in his direction a couple of times before, as the end of the song was nearing. My explanation is that she was expecting him to bring the song to a close after the last time she sang the final line (notice how she drew out the last word of that longer than she had before), but he "didn't get the memo" and was continuing to play the same licks, so she opened her mouth to sing the line again, but quickly realized it wasn't going to sound right and/or might be just as unsuccessful as her previous attempt to signal the ending of the song. So, in short, she was laughing at their inability to successfully bring the song to an end.
Egil answer to Angelinas laughter in Norwegian: " sitter og rocker jeg" In english;" I'm rocking" ( may be to keep the beat❤?) Thx for your reaction. Love mondays🤩
@@kristena9285 Hi! Just be aware that quite a few of her performances are uploaded some considerable time after the date recorded. For example, her performance of "I will always love you" was probably recorded the same day as "Titanium". - both she and Egil are wearing the same clothes - but it was not uploaded to RU-vid until 14 Sep 2019.
@@alberttenfoot I will always love you was uploaded by fanclub Mozarts but is marked "2017" in the title. I guess both Titanium and IWALY was recorded then so Angelina was 11 after all..
@@kristena9285 Yes, I felt certain that it was 2017, but search of on Angelina Fanclub Mosarz shows only the 2019 upload. Here is a link for you to check: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eml4tIAqWUY.html It is the only recording under that title. For some reason, it was uploaded again. 😀
Her audio was coming out of an amp, very low volume, but the recording was definitely through a phone. She was laughing at Egil, Mr Bobblehead, they way he bops his head while playing.😊
Well, there is reverb, meaning the audio is coming through the mic and an amp or PA. Reverb is a form of “processing,” but you are correct that there is no compression or auto tune. Wait until you hear what she does in Las Vegas on February 29th… her “ leap year concert.”
“I like these guys. These are funny guys.” So talented; they work together so well. Such a joy to see an unrestrained bit of laughter on her face as she breaks up over BobbinEgil’s bobbin’! I really look forward to AJ Monday’s and seeing your commentary. Today’s is a gem, as usual, and spot-on! Another beauty you might want to review is “Every Time We Say Goodbye”, from a rooftop TV venue in Oslo at 10, just before she leaves for America. //ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KRSI8HmTHJA.htmlsi=wXr7h_kHfeMs8URh
BTW try catching up with the third of the triad of teen girl wonders,Angelina, Diana and 18yo Courtney Hadwin from the same area as the Animals and with the Same sort of Rock and blues power as Janice Joplin and a young joss Stone.. 😎🧙♂️ I will put up a link to one of her more recent numbers. Shes just escaped from a restrictive contract so getting back into her music. ru-vid.comCiD-8xzSo1w?si=NPxEaKfGipDbb4Be All three are completely different in style but emerged from the same TV competitions route.. And they all show their own way of doing their amazing 🤩 powers.🧙♂️😎🇬🇧
YES! NOW H I T that 👍👍 Cannot CONFIRM what u sayin', but 💯agree on ur assessment. ANGELina was laughing at the guitarplayers bobbing head.... he looks like one of those dolls 😂 Have a magickal and wonderful week ANGELS ❣❤💗💕💞💖✨✨✨✨🌟
Excellent observations on the recording method and her singing quality. It always astounds me that Angelina takes such care in her approach in not only communicating but also expressing a song. Angelina has always conveyed, to me at least, the feeling of a lullaby being sung....meant just for the listener. The first written language converted expression into form. Angelina takes form and converts that into pure expression that resonates on an emotional level. Looking forward to so much more from this growing prodigious talent.
Great job once again Boudy and thanks! Another Angelina and Egil jam session! One take and done! Such talent is unmatched! Egil is a family friend and has been doing jam sessions with Angelina from 7-12 years old while in Norway! They got together again last year while Angelina was in Jordan doing a private event! and again shortly after the release of her EP, doing a short of Diamond! This is from Grandma Mery’s phone! This also is in a home studio! Egil at times made it his mission to try to get Angelina to break character. However, she usually kept in control until the end of songs, you will see it in other Behind The Scenes videos from Grandma Mery’s channel!
Arab Man, your observation is right on! I have followed Angelina's remarkable career from 7 to 17. All she has to do is sing; her voice will transform your mind and heart into a better place.
Word has it that her accompanist, Egil, flew out of Norway 2 days ago to the U.S. Speculation perhaps a few songs with Angelina in her performance in Vegas? Anyway, your support and Angelina Monday are number one on my Monday to do list, your input is just the best! By the way, what you missed is her finally noticing Egils exaggerated head bobbing in his " getting into it" mode!
So much fun watching you watch this! Angelina, Egil, and Grandma on her phone -- a magical and fun combination, always. I love the spontaneity of these homemade videos. From what I've read, Angelina and Egil decide on songs without much planning, and she just tosses off a masterclass, often reading lyrics on her ipad while singing. One professional music producer said there were three artists he'd worked with who could get a recording in one take. Angelina was one of the three.
Boudy, I believe the sound of the voice is coming from the speakers, through the microphone. The reason for the final laugh: The guitarist Egil is feeling the music so badly, his head almost falls off his neck from bobbing over and over and spinning out the window, and Angelina can't take it, lost her focus and bursts out laughing at the end.
Friend, in an interview with Alan Papier, Egil told, that to keep his pace on the guitar, he used his head moving. AJ saw this and in the end, she could not keep serious. Peace. EfG
Loved your explanations and observations, and recommended perspective on this!! Your reactions are always informative and delightful!! ❤❤ PS- ( a couple of very basic Suggestions, left only because it sounds like a real problem : If people are listening and not leaving their “like,” it makes me remember that I’ve listened, loved it, but quickly switched back over to my work or been interrupted at the end, FORGETTING to go back and “ like”! So maybe in your intro before playing the video, you could ask the listeners, “So you don’t forget, or run out of time to do it, could you please hit “like” now as we begin - because this is the amazing Angelina Jordan, which you KNOW is an almost guarantee that you’re going to like this! And on the off- chance that you don’t, or change your mind- you can simply hit it again after listening to UN-“like” it! That way, it’s a risk- free “like” that will help us SO much!” - The other thing that sounds silly, but because it’s Angelina, who could very well attract people even brand new to RU-vid that are coming due to recommendations of friends and family, how about mentioning where the “ like” is! ( Simply, “Remember to “like” - that’s, touch the up- arrow or ‘thumbs-up’ just below the picture here, to show that you like this- it helps us SO much! -and comment… subscribe.. “) Just a thought! 🤗 Keep on spreading the love!! ❤❤
Hi Boudy and thanks for another great Monday reaction. Angelina's wonderful archive of recordings, made by her sweet family from an early age, is a true heritage of humanity, giving us the wonderful vision of how a fantastic music star is born and evolves. I love the simplicity and ease with which this girl manages to transform her passions and her feelings into beautiful music. Angelina is pure and fantastic talent, mixed with a wonderful musical sensibility and a unique maturity. She has always been the director of her songs, which she sings in the way she deems most suitable for the song. But even if she is very professional she doesn't miss the opportunity to have fun, like in this session. 💛🧡❤
Her "just sitting at home, singing because there's nothing better to do" cover of Zayn's "From Dusk Till Dawn" _is_ , I would say, arguably one of her greatest performances of all time.😁 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cygBNEpoMuo.html I mean, yeah, the sound and video quality aren't the greatest (she's singing over a karaoke version of the song, and I'm not even sure she knows she's being recorded), but the mismatch between the circumstances under which she is singing and the quality of what she's doing… it's just mind boggling.
Yes, this is being recorded with a cell phone but I believe her mic is amped. However, since it isn't a direct inline recording we are hearing the acoustics of the room.
I know I mayby shouldnt ask for this here.. but Im trying😬 Could you please react to Norways band Gåte preforming live at ‘Melodi grand prix’ The song is cold Ulveham and its our contribution to Eurovision. The biggest contest in Europe😊🎉 I think you will love it…😉 And then thank you for this reaction. Love you❤❤❤
This is as raw as you can possibly get. Steak tartar is well done compared to this performance. Amazing, and her laugh at the end after she was watching the wagging head totally lost in the music. GREAT GREAT.
