What makes this jaw dropping and stunning performance even more astonishing is the fact that Angelina was only sixteen years old when she performed it. As far as I’m concerned this masterwork by Angelina is the gold standard.
She released this for Valentine’s Day 2022, so she had just turned 16 then. One reason I love this so much is because it’s as though she took all her specialties, put them in a basket, and took them out one by one and used them in this song. Yes, a masterpiece! You also should watch her video of this song at age 10. It’s precious and heartwarming!
Phenomenal!! Made the song her own as usual. Her breath control and phrasing is perfect. This jazz classic is not easy to perform. Angelina sang this as beautiful as her soul is. ❤❤❤❤❤
Mr L Boyd thank you for your description of this phenom ! Never heard thtis song sung better by anyone. She is a gift to our generations and I thank God for her. Her voice and soul reaches me like now one else ever has. 16 years old here ! She was born to sing. Please check out her singing a leaked demo she made for a song writter called " Holding out for you " she was 10 when she sang it and the jazz in her sould blew me away with this song. Listened to it 25 times already. Her interpretation of jazz in unparalleld in my opinion. Blessings
In this song she chooses to greatly reduce the heavy vocal fry. She sings with the rich vintage sound of the great jazz singers of the 1950s. Those of us that have followed her for nearly a decade and realised way back then that this girl is something special and is going to be a phenomenal singer when she grows up.... now see every expectation realised and surpassed.
Isn't that funny that although now she already IS a phenomenal singer she will continue to be even more and more so? Like, how is it possible for someone who is clearly already the best to be in the stratosphere above all others? And the fact that she's such a good, humble, and professional individual full of compassion just makes it all the sweeter.
My Funny Valentine This is my 142th time listening to this MASTERPIECE and each time I experience a new level of perfection by our ethereal prodigy extraordinaire, Angelina Jordan. When you listen to the A cappella portions of this performance at the very end of the song you are truly experiencing the genius of Angelina Jordan’s PERFECT PITCH. Sinatra, rest in peace Angelina Jordan, the Bare Foot Queen has taken the crown and there is nothing like her in the universe. When I first heard her perform this. I put it on pause and brought up Sinatra, Bublé, Streisand, Fitzgerald and Vaughan's version of this song to compare it to AJ version, and none of them moved me like this version. It is so hard to comprehend that Angelina from 7 to 16 is the greatest story telling being in my 75 years of experiencing great vocalist and I can't wait for the rest of the story. We are not only hearing it, but we are also feeling each word as though she were singing to each of us individually. She is the only one in this universe that is capable of making us feel the true emotion of this ballad. There is no way to explain this gift that has been given to the universe, does she even know, or understand the power she encompasses?
She did a recording of this at 10 years old. It's not as polished as this version. People say she sings all these songs so effortlessly and this is true but in her version at 10 years you can see she puts a lot of effort Into it. It is quite reemarkable !!!
I've never liked this song....until Angelina sang it. I love this version. That last section makes the hair on my arms stand up and goosebumps arise. You're right, she just keeps getting better.
I think to say that a song has been covered over 600 times by every jazz artist says everything about this song. Angelina’s version is largely based upon the Ella Fitzgerald version, which also isn’t surprising, because Billie Holiday may have been a major influence on Angelina, but she went to school on Ella Fitzgerald, and she got an A+.
I know you’re reposting most of your Angelina reactions and I thank you for taking the time to do so. Your comments on this one are 100%spot on. World class and beyond at age 16. Angelina sang this song when she was 10 years old with the original lead in. She had the hart and soul of the song and the “cute” factor is off the charts. Now at this age she also has the insight and technical ability to make a grown man swoon! Best wishes from Alaska
She used almost every trick in her encyclopedic of vocal techniques in this, making a nearly 100-year-old song relevant, current, and fully Angelina-ized. As I recall, she did this video especially for her fans for Valentines Day 2022.
Hi Mr. Boyd, correct me if I am wrong, but I think it is in this song that she performs her best high register which she apparently found and perfected. It is so crystal clear and smooth at the same time. What a wonderful introduction to her full voice and her mastery at phrasing. Love it!! I hope she includes this in her upcoming album, it is that good.
Hi Mr LB 👋. Awesome reaction to 16 Angie. My 2 favorite versions of this song 🎵 are this Jazz standard Angie sings and the full version Angie sang when she was 10 on 2-14-16 to her grandma with no mic just sitting on a chair from a cel phone singing. It's beautiful and masterfully done for this 10 Angie. ❤😀👍❤❤❤ Please react to it. 👍
Brilliant reaction my friend as usual, what a shame you didnt do both versions one after the other start with anjelina at 10 years old doing this where she did do the whole song and it blew me away ,love this version too ,shes the goat my friend, lol just to let you know you've still got loads you haven't seen ,stay safe my friend ❤😊
Awesome reaction to Miss Master of Music in all aspects! Her Musical Toolbox to me is not matched by anyone. She is the go to for technical of how to do any inflection or nuance you want. You are witnessing Greatness, God Bless!
There is an earlier cover of this by her where she sings the intro part of the song. But her physical and vocal maturity in this one, along with the stunning setting/video, make this absolutely magical!
Thank you for the reaction MrLBoyd. Angelina actually sings the full verse song at 10 years old sitting at home....it is stunning: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sZ25H4a2gPI.html

Her mom Sara was concerned here about how Angelina is perceived by the viewing, listening audience. She was fully aware that Angelina's beauty and 'sultry' style of singing this song could very well be misinterpreted. She decided to overdub the visuals so that she would be perceived simply as a young girl in a state of daydreaming as she meanders through an antique furnishing establishment, bringing with it no possible connotations concerning those of a sexual related nature.
@@keithserafy - This is the only time she has had an Angelina rendition overdubbed in this way and if you don't consider her vocals to be the most 'sultry' one could imagine, you need your head examined. Keith, stop commenting like a moron and apply common sense.
@@keithserafy I concur 100%. We have too many assumptions made... It's ALWAYS best to document WHERE one can verify the thoughts of Angelina's Mom!! 😉👏🏻👏🏻 PEACE!!
@@keithserafy I don't need to tell you that ridgemoron is an asshole of the highest order. One better not question or challenge when he tries to disguise his wild assumptions as fact, because his default response is venomous toxicity. I also think his view of reality is distorted by his paedophilic issues.
