She softened it a bit and her breathy sections touched me as well as the going to higher pitches captures me. I interpreted her flipping the script of the original song and sang it from the child’s perspective not the mother’s. Loved the reaction
You should consider adding her links to your Reactions/reviews so she gets proper exposure, promotion, and support for her work. True, effortless, silky smooth, true to her jazz/blues foundation, as she always is. The exquisite beauty of her voice often draws tears of appreciation from the listener, male or female, young or old.
G! In my "inarguable" opinion, Angelina will be widely considered the greatest female singer on Earth within the next decade. Given her current vocal improvement trajectory how could she not?
That would be the next step in her career. I would say there's 95% of the population who don't know who she is. She already has everything else and it's about showing the rest of the world what I saw a few months back.
Ahhhh this girl....her voice is like a gentle kiss to our ears! She has the voice of an angel. It is sweet and soothing and draws me in each and every time. She has brought me to tears more times than I want to admit. Haha she has a way of singing that truly tells the story and the emotions being conveyed in each and every song she takes on!! Though she has not lived through many of lyrics she sings about...you can almost feel she has. I mean maybe not in this life at least. She is definitely a reincarnation of many beautiful souls. I feel so blessed to have discovered this girl and follow her on her journey. I truly believe she is heaven sent to heal hearts all-over this world one song at a time! And she is also my very favorite singer as well. I thank you for your appreciation of her captivating voice and for her true beauty both inside and out. She is a gift from up above. Best gift ever!! 🎶😊❤️😊🎶
Awesome reaction and agree to some degree! I believe she is the best singer on the Planet period. As good as she is now and won't hit her prime for another 10 years, rest my case, God Bless!
There's a huge difference between Adele's mature vocal ranges + auto tuned, Angelina just a very young girl with her own style and young vocal ranges + no autotune!! Kudos to both beautiful talented singer's, LOVE THEM BOTH!!! 💜💜💜❤️❤️❤️
she is 15 at the time of this performance. As for sounding like Adele, you need to play Adele's version first to be able to experience the major differences that AJ adds to make it much better than the original. We have come to expect her covers to be much better than the originals, but each time they exceed that and much more. Angelina is an ethereal genius and everything she touches turns to gold.
GROWING THREAT TO MUSIC REACTION CHANNELS ON RU-vid Angelina Jordan is here to inspire us to be the best we can, to appreciate the beauty of life and music. It warms my heart that Angelina's goal is to bring peace and love to the world through her music. I want to pay it forward, and support and promote her so that she will be able to use her platform to sing and heal. If you are in process of growing your channel, you must also play a role in building the careers of your young artists. But unfortunately increasing copyright risks are becoming a barrier. Recent reactor reports indicate that some record labels are demanding ownership of their artists' reaction videos after the fact, with monetary penalty claims. If channels do not comply, they are threatened with copyright strikes and possibly shut down. This has been verified by reliable RU-vid sources. How can you target your focus to better address the needs of record label management? Although you do a fine job highlighting Angelina, that alone does not boost her analytics. I suggest educating your viewers since most don't know how to support you or the artists! Provide links to artists' original videos, official channels, and possibly social media. Encourage viewers to like and comment on the original video and subscribe to artists' and your channels, This should increase subscriptions for both. Nearly 200 reactors have benefited from partnering with their artists and adopting these needed support guidelines. Hopefully this will ultimately influence record labels to relax their restrictions. Your goal should be to solidify the integrity of your relationship with all aspiring artists in order to limit copyright risk.
Adele sings it reflecting on her past, (I was just a child) like looking at old pictures. Angelina is singing it in the now (I'm still a child) full of heart and soul.
Rob Christie, Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California is playing the piano. Rob has been working with AJ from the very 1st day Republic signed her at age 14. There is no one on the face of this earth that can match the talent, and STORYTELLING ability of this genius.
The older lady in the beginning is her grandmother she is the inspiration for everything at Angelina is today a grandmother is an incredible artist herself encouraged Angelina from a very young age to sing Angelina started singing when she was 18 months old she did her first studio recording when she was 6 it's called I who have nothing and it is available on line
Angelina has many Adele covers. Adele is a great songwriter and singer, but she writes songs that are perfectly tailored to Angelina’s vocal skills. I love Adele, but I think it’s fairly clear that Angelina has incredible vocal range, tone, and texture that Adele can’t match. Some people may prefer Adele’s version, but this one shows how easily Angelina can make a song her own. If you are familiar with Adele’s “A Million Years Ago”, you must watch Angelina’s version when she was 12. It will change your view of how powerfully a very young child can deliver mature lyrics. It’s phenomenal. And her cover of Adele’s “Someone Like You” will have you shaking your head at how easily Angelina can continue to amaze you with such beautiful, emotive interpretations of Adele’s amazing lyrics.
johnvasi, she was 12 for Million Years Ago, & had moved to LA. She got that Neumann mic for her 12th Birthday, so whenever you see that you know she is 12 or older
I believe Angelina was 15 years old here, but sounds like a 35 year old superstar ❤️ Best cover of this song by far, and she does it with ease ❤️ Her All I Ask cover, another Adele cover is also amazing ❤️👍 Cant wait to see her this summer in multiple concerts 👍❤️ Have a nice day 👍
Thank you for this beautiful reaction, I understand very well the sensation that any time she gift us. I love this reinterpretation of the song that Angelina chooses to do, so emotional and passional and this despite Adele being a superlative singer. Nobody could instruct this little girl about her how to transform the songs she chooses, she is a gift of her absolutely unique to her, since she was a little girl she sees how a song should be interpreted. But this is absolutely Angelina, practically impossible to describe, but wonderful and unique, always.💛🧡❤
Sorry my friend but Angelina adds more colors and makes you feel the song to the core of your being, unmatched, she has broken the ceiling to the heavens. A true Angel 😇
This is very close to Adele's version - it even sounds like her a bit - but she's made a few changes, mostly for the better, if you ask me. And remember, she released this live, one-take version less than a week after Adele released the song. There is no one like Angelina 😎
This would be Adele on steroids' G. Great song, beautifully written and taken to another level by this young lady. Nice to see you back with Angelina. Wonderful reaction and comments as always.
Best talent on the planet. Mega talented, classy, humble, and charitable. The total package. Let your kids or grandkids watch her sing, and they will love her.
Angelina has adored Adele since she was 6 years old, maybe younger. She stated in her Christmas concert interview this past December that Adele is her favorite artist. Here is a breakdown of Adele songs that Angelina has covered since 6 years old. 6 years old: SKYFALL: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Oc50HiItEu0.html 9 years old: HELLO: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C-KvOfORQSA.html 12 years old:A MILLION YEARS AGO: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QHLtZQ3sIwE.html 13 years old: WHEN WE WERE YOUNG: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-waTSFSqrxEY.html 13 years old: SOMEONE LIKE YOU: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nU9TA70fXro.html 15 years old: ALL I ASK: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8gJuprckBxI.html 15 years old: LOVE IS A GAME: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PXbYrvP3v4I.html 16 years old, short tiktok 5 days ago: I DRINK WINE: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HPcpD66QGB0.html
For me, all I ask, easy on me, million years ago, and love is a game are all almost unbelievably good. How can love is a game, just an experimental TikTok, be that crazy great? I can’t wait to see her in concert this July!
@@hans-georgschroter7887 Thanks Hans, I knew I was missing one. 6 years old: ROLLING IN THE DEEP: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M-QspUVhrUM.html
have you seen or heard Angelinas originals ? "Shield" at age 12, so dang good !!!, "7th Heaven" at 14 , also "Million Miles"( live in studio" in black and white at 14. these 3 songs are Amazing !!!!! make sure you watch and listen to "Million Miles" (live in studio) black and white. that version of the song is the 3rd one released by Angelina and her record label. the first 2 are from the c d versions and have more music and more production, which if you listen to the c d version and then the live in studio version, you will hear a big difference in the music plus the speed of the song. if you havent already, YOU REALLY NEED TO watch these 3 videos. actually , "7th Heaven has 2 different videos, similar but different. the first one was a "performance" video of her in like a night club setting, and the 2nd one is pretty much the same, but more of a music video style.
Adele lived this song. Angelina did not. I can only believe that Angelina's ability to empathize with what she got from Adele's original made this vocal possible. I think that Angelina's ability to move in and out of character protects her sanity - otherwise, she would be a raving lunatic if that kind of empathy went unchecked. Angelina and her team produced this cover within 48 hours of Adele dropping the original. I don't think people realize the logistics involved in doing such a thing. G, that's another memorable reaction by you and I look forward to many more.
This is just how important Angelina Jordan is to her support group: AJ’s Christmas Show that live-streamed on Dec 23 of 22 had some of the most important musicians of our time: Frank Sinatra's drummer for 6 years, and sun in-law of the late Henry Mancini, Greg Field has won 9 Grammys, and the bass player, Chuck Berghofer who also played for Sinatra for 6 years and toured with Barbara Streisand accompanied AJ on her Christmas Show that aired Dec 23 of 21, and they stated that she had the "storytelling ability of the greats, Streisand, Fitzgerald, Vaughan, including Sinatra, to name a few. The main pianist, a five-time nominated for Grammys, Shelly Berg, stated in all his years working with the greatest vocalist, he had never encountered a talent like AJ. Did I forget to mention Jimmy Z, the famous Sax Player who worked with Rod Steward, Etta James, the Eurythmics, and Doctor Dre, was part of the band for the show? Jimmy stated that AJ was the best he has ever played for. Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California played the guitar, and was the MC of the show. Rob has been working with AJ from the very 1st day Republic signed her at age 14. (I can't list the complete backgrounds on all the band members because it would take several pages to do them justice.)
Angelina was very impressed by this Song and released her first version only a few hours after Adele on tiktok 👍The meaning of the Song fits well to her own Situation.She's is the child, who feels more and more the world around and we should go easy on her, no Stress for her 🙏 too much Artists died to early because of the business stress like her friend Avicii 💕💖
@@larrypifer1103 Wonderful information. Do you mind if I add it to my fact sheet and share in the comments in other reactions when fitting. I would credit the info to you of course as I always try to do. Just another fan trying to keep the facts straight. Thank you for that great informative comment. I saw the show but could never have got that straight like this.♥️👣
I understand why say that she sounds like Adele. We are trained to see similarities. However if you listen to both performances back to back you will notice many difference. From the timbre, I feel Angelina’s voice has more warmth and depth to it and her singing touches me more than Adele. This is a general aspect of Angelina’s covers: she embodies the original artist to a certain extend and also adds a lot of her own unique stuff. Sometimes of course her covers are total re-inventions such as Bohemian Rhapsody and also Billie Jean in which the epic MJ dance song is transformed into a lounge jazz version.
Angelina arranges everything she covers and her originals too, she makes covers her own and most times better than the originals, Angelina’s voice control and technical ability surpasses other vocalist, Angelina is a musical genius, and plays guitar flute piano and violin, Angelina is absolutely amazing!
Hello again my friend! Long time no see, at least in regard to your Angelina reactions. And what an excellent reaction it was. Looking very much forward to your next reaction to her :-) If you want to hear what she sounds like (and looks like) as of RIGHT NOW : On Valentine's Day 3 months ago, she dropped a new rendition of the 1937 jazz standard "My Funny Valentine" which has been sung by 600+ artists and have been included in 1300+ albums through the years. She was either still 15 or had JUST turned 16 in this recording. Btw, the reason why I say a NEW rendition is due to the fact that she also covered the song exactly 6 years earlier, at the age of 10. I will give you the link to both, as they serve as a perfect example on her progression. You may even want to consider doing a double reaction ? Many reactors have done that already, and they are without exception speechless. A very common occurrence among reactors to Angelina...LOL Here are the two links : "My Funny Valentine", Angelina age 10 : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sZ25H4a2gPI.html "My Funny Valentine", Angelina age 16 : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ETGLbsGDAI0.html Love and respect from Norway :-)
No disrespect to Adele, but when Angelina sings this song, it touches me deeper and is more emotional than when Adele sings it, and that would normally seem strange being that Adele lived this song, yet it is Angelina who makes me "feel" it. Angelina has done several of Adele's songs, and this one and "All I Ask" are the two most recent. I have no musical background at all, I just know what I like, and these two songs to me, are Angelina's. I feel she sang them better and more emotionally than Adele. Just the opinion of an old guy who has heard a bit of music in his life.
Just FYI, the gentleman at the piano is Rob Christie, chief of Republic Record studios LA, two times grammy winner and a friend and mentor for AJ. German Greetings sir.
There's a You Tube Video by an expert vocal coach named Andreas Grussl (Rethinking Singing) Title Of Video - 'Is This Better Than Adele?' He patiently compares both artists throughout the singing of the song and shows why Angelina's is felt by him to be superior. Have never seen someone this adept at explaining all the facets of individual singing in a song.
I tear up just seeing Angelina cuddling with her grandmother Mery at the start of the video. Mery is everything to Angelina and was a prodigy herself, for art and poetry, while growing up in Iran. Adele is an awesome songwriter but I much prefer Angelina singing those beautiful songs. Angelina's voice has a positive physical effect on me and I am addicted to having my soul hugged.
Sadly, Angelina’s paternal grandfather died in March 2018 and her maternal grandfather died in November 2019. Angelina’s maternal grandmother Mery Zamani has had tremendous influence on Angelina and her career as she introduced Angelina to jazz at early age. Mery is somewhat famous Iranian contemporary writer, poet and painter who was also child prodigy herself being on Radio Iran's Children program at age 4 and began writing poetry and painting by age of 9. Later Mery was trained in art at Tokyo Academy in Japan where she met her husband, who was Japanese, during her master degree's training in Japan. There is ten-year old video showing some of Mery's artwork in home setting: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i9NxX0tSjS0.html ---- Mery has RU-vid channel that supports Angelina called Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz: ru-vid.com/show-UChM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPig. There are lots of videos in it that could only have been taken by insider or family member. Mery is also widely known under artist alias name Mosarz ---- Mery illustrated book "Mellom to hjerter" (Between Two Hearts) that Angelina wrote and was published in November 2015 when Angelina was 9 years-old and became youngest published author in Norway. Book based on Angelina's diary/notebooks and describes her meeting with shoeless girl. Podcast was published by Angelina’s publisher, Cappelen Damm, in November 2015. In it Angelina talks with Erling Kittelsen, Norwegian author and poet and friend of family, about her book. Angelina tells of her understanding with little girl that Angelina will not wear shoes when she performs and that little girl will pray for Angelina. During pauses in talk, we hear small extracts from book which should be on children's reading list: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6p6iL989P_8.html There are three published Angelina videos created and directed by Mery: ---- Fly Me To The Moon (as 10-year old, sung with acoustic guitar in one of her most viewed videos: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jnnzbdt4_RE.html) ---- When You're Smiling (as 11-year old, starts out with her missing school attendance. She is riding bike and comes across sad girl crying and stops to see what is wrong. You will have to watch to see what happens next: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bLuNQ6s7fCQ.html) ---- Shield [as 12-year old, Angelina co-wrote this song. As 13-year old, Mery did artistic video of Angelina singing song: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m8OCbAlr_48.html.

She said that song Shield is about someone you love and whose strong love protects you wherever you are. Angelina said song's sound was inspired by Bond films. Her favorite Bond film songs are Diamonds Are Forever and Goldfinger. She sings few bars of Diamonds Are Forever a cappella. She said that highlight of her career was singing for Quincy Jones' 85th birthday concert in London. When asked if she feels like she is 12 years old, Angelina says she only does when she looks at her passport: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-97hjWg4ToRQ.html] [as 13-year old, sung on 7/12/2019 at outdoor concert at Prøysenhuset, Rudshøgda, Norway: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-whH6fnKAooo.html.

They have won 4 Grammy Awards. They also worked with Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Celine Dion, Sam Smith, Katy Perry, Whitney Houston, and others] [Angelina said: “The initial idea for ‘7th Heaven’ was that I love the number 7, and ‘heaven’ is such a powerful word and makes you dream away. I collaborated with Stargate to create ‘7th Heaven’. The background story of making this song was that I had this melody that I played for Tor and Mikkel and it turned out that they loved the idea and it went pretty smooth from there to the finished song. We definitely tried many different elements to feel the right sound to it.”] [Angelina believes: “Life has ups and downs, and you always have to be ready for whatever is coming up. The song is a reminder to look at everything in a positive light and not get down on yourself. Most importantly-no matter what you’re doing-don’t give up. It’s also meant to make you dance.”] [Angelina tells how studio video will look: “The visual will look something like old school meets new school kinda vibe to it. I love the styles they had before and I want to bring it back again.”] [Angelina revealed that she is often inspired to create music from personal pain: “Strong emotions, mainly painful ones, often make me write music.”] ---- Million Miles (co-wrote as 14-year old. Produced by Stargate. There are four video versions. Audio with lyrics using Mery’s and Angelina’s paintings as background: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NhKRh5ZtuWk.html.

I wrote this song thinking about all the great memories I had with my grandpa and how much it hurts to lose someone. I hope this song finds a place in your heart, as it comes straight from mine."]

I think she sing it pitch on Adele but she really doesn’t sound like Adele , Angelina puts favor in this song , listen to Adele’s and then listen to Angelina you’ll see she respects the way the song was meant to be sung. Angelina has done this to other Adele songs. She is truly amazing, nobody can touch her vocal abilities. Thank you for this reaction

This was a cover of Baby FuzZ song. Baby FuzZ was also known by the stage name Sterling Fox. He is Brandon Lowry who has written and produced multiple songs for others including Lana Del Ray, Britney Spears, Avicii, Adam Lambert and Madonna. Angelina’s people did not allow the release of the song because they thought it to be the wrong stylistic choice for her. Baby FuzZ never heard Angelina’s demo until years later. This is a “leaked” version of the song Angelina recorded which at first was blocked by Angelina’s people for fear of copyright infringement issues, but Baby FuzZ really liked the demo and allowed it to stay up on RU-vid: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dv8mjCh5iiE.html) ---- Above The Water [sung by Angelina as 13-year old, and shows her incredible cross genre abilities. She collaborated with Norwegian EDM (Electronic Dance Music) duo TRXD and recorded vocals for song. TRXD is Truls Dyrstad and David Atarodiyan where TRXD represents their names (TRuls X David). In 2020, song was released officially as audio only track and has over 4 million plays on Spotify. This song is third most played song of TRXD on Spotify. However, amazing unofficial video was created that added some footage of shuffle dancers doing variations of Melbourne Shuffle that originated in Melbourne, Australia, in underground rave scene. Although not exactly known when Melbourne Shuffle was developed (probably in mid to late 1980s), it supposedly was first shown publicly in TV interview by Ruppert Keller in 1990. Dance eventually took off and has become very popular in mainstream EDM festival scene, practiced by millions of EDM fans all over world. The 3-hour video New Year Mix 2022 - Best of EDM Party Electro House & Festival Music gives you an excellent look at EDM and the millions of people who love it (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gQlUknjUX0I.html). EDM is so popular that there is a website dedicated to news about it. This song would be played by disc jockeys at a dance location as rave means a lively party or gathering involving dancing and drinking: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-y6SilwnR2Zc.html] ---- I Will Survive (as 10-year old, Angelina again hits it out of the park, in another new music genre: disco! This is only disco song to win Grammy. In 2016, Library of Congress deemed Gloria Gaynor's original recording to be "culturally, historically, or artistically significant" and selected it for preservation in National Recording Registry: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ma7sa_n7k-8.html) ---- Song For A [as 13-year old, Angelina sung with music by modern classical composer Nico Cartosio. It can be described as musical poetry. Lyrics come from poem by Robert Burns. Song was written specifically for Angelina as part of mostly instrumentals album Melting (8 instrumentals plus Song For A). Album was recorded at famous Abbey Road studio and released in April 2019: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Bo3mhxPM-uA.html]
Angelina can coach the coaches ,she is a natural no one directs Angelina she is her own master vocalist born with this innate talent, starting with her singing a a part of a Whitney Huston in her crib at just a mere 18 months . ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VJjG68Dfr-8.html ) (Angelina at 18 months singing ) whom do you think was coaching this 18 month old little girl ? Angelina improves any song she covers ,that is just the way it is , we can not deny what we hear from this "Barefoot Princess of Song". thanks for great comments as the song progressed. Adele is a great song writer and singer, but Angelina is the better singer.
Honestly, I think it's better than adelles. Just more emotion, more feeling. But every cover she does is better. It's really almost surreal how she does it.
It's nice to see again ! Great reaction as usual, and yes she is the best female singer on earth ! Our barefoot princess is going to take the world by storm with such a voice (...i mean...voices...)! Hope to see you soon dude, stay safe!
There are also mashups of Angelina with either original artist and/or instrumental band. Some of these are truly incredible. Some examples include following. ---- Ain’t No Sunshine [Angelina was 12 years-old. This is Bill Withers classic 1971 R&B hit. Musicians Hank Roberts (great cello), Brian Wilson (drums), Mike Stark (piano) and Anna Coogan (guitar) originally performed song for singer Canen. Mashup was created using Angelina’s simple cover and band making fantastic composition: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JyziJiJ1HYg.html] ---- Crazy (as 12-year old, Angelina sung song live at 2018 Kongsberg Jazz Festival. Mashup of Festival audio and two rehearsal videos with some of best audio/video editing that you will witness and makes it truly look like rehearsal of this Patsy Cline/Willie Nelson 1961 hit country song. Amazing: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RI9s_Qp7X_g.html) ---- I Will Survive (This 1978 disco hit by Gloria Gaynor is mashed with Angelina’s audio-only track. Whenever 35-year old Gloria is shown, she is singing. Whenever 10-year old Angelina is shown, she is singing. Close eyes and literally tough to tell any difference. Mind-blowing: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Nryuk21mXkQ.html) ---- Back To Black (mashup remix of 10-year old Angelina’s cover video of Back to Black done with KORK orchestra and Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black music video. Snipets of Amy singing compared with Angelina’s voice makes them seem like duplicates of each other: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ly82w_iIrh4.html) ---- All Of Me (Angelina was 13-years old. This mashup shows how Angelina pays homage and is true to original song. Combines Angelina’s home video recording with sophisticated music video of John Legend playing piano and singing his smash hit song with violinist Lindsey Stirling playing accompaniment. Mashup creates virtual duet that seems like it is original recording of Angelina singing duet with John Legend: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i0rSKumJE8s.html) ---- Sign Of The Times (mashup of short TikTok cover by 15-year old Angelina with snipets of Harry Styles singing his hit song on his BBC produced TV show Harry Styles At The BBC. This creates a virtual duet that is mind-blowing as one really is given impression that they are singing duet together. Unfortunately is only 2 minutes long and thus not complete song: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8glJLHUd7uo.html)
So good to hear you reacting again ( getting worried about you :) ..... I always look forward to your AJ reactions.... Yes this is a masterpience,I would reccomend you react to her My Funny Valentine 2022, which IMHO and many others here think it is her finest work yet... I'm 69 a musician and avid music fan since my early teens, and her MFV 2022 cover is the single greatest artistic vocal performance I have yet to hear...
Thank you sir! I've barely scratched the surface with AJ songs. At one point I only had the equipment to record myself, the video and everything else separately which meant atleast 2 hours editing each video then uploading. I don't have to worry about that anymore!
I enjoy your reactions because i get to recreate my own initial reactions to Angelina. It doesn't really matter what you choose to listen to next, there will be a discovery for you and for us. You have already viewed "I'm a fool to want you" wgen Angelina was 7. There is a grown up version when she was about 13 0r 14 where you get how brilliantly she has developed her astonishing talent. Another iconic performance is "I'm still holding out for you" when she was 10, but you will never believe that when you listen to it.
Thanks for that nice reaction to (15) Angie. (Yes that's her grandma Mery) “Young And Beautiful” by Lana Del Rey ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3prGThnLil4.html Angie’s (12) here. “Born to Die” by Lana ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DNU-HcLuO_I.html Angie was (12) here. “A Natural Woman” Acoustic (Aretha Franklin Tribute) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rt6KhBxiaDo.html she’s 12.5 yo. Angie did this right after AF passed away. “Million years ago” by Adele ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QHLtZQ3sIwE.html Angie is 12 here
Great to see you back with Angelina. Enjoyed your reaction, G. You should really check out her recent performance of “My Funny Valentine”. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bWiLOnHJYxg.html It will blow your mind. Thanks.
“Arguably the best singer on the planet?”… Morissette Amon has held that title the last 10 yrs and will do so (if people are being honest with themselves) for decades to come. She’s the GOAT. It’s just a fact. BTW Angelina is a great singer…
the longer run of "easy on me", when Angelina carries it farther and better than Adele. Adele has a break in there, but, Angelina does not and it sounds better !!!
Sorry!?!! For me, the video audio on AJ from ur end is too low... Also, why can viewers not see the video? I'm older- -maybe my hearing & vision are failing?
You used the word coached. This word is an anathema to Angelina s followers. When she was six her teachers stated they had no more they could teach her. Angelina is basically self taught. Professional voice teachers have stated that at the age cod 10 she had the ability to teach a masters class in voice. Don't believe anyone is coaching her. Her song choices and arrangements are all her and have been according to her mother from the age of five. At seven she is seen showing adult musicians how she wants it and how to do it. By the age of late eight she was affectionaly referrred to as the boss.
Sounds like Adele except better, right? Watch this vocal coach break it all down and explain what she does, really interesting. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C2H0MlGmvyA.html Angelina doesn't "make songs her own" for nothing, or just to be different, it is all in service of the music.
Quite disappointing when I hear Adele sing this. Especially the music video with the laughing at the end. Just my opinion of course And taken aback, when I listen to Angelina’s version. I wish Adele and her writers would do something specifically for Angelina. They are so in the groove with Adele. 🌸
in this video Angelina is 15 years old. and as far as her being pitch perfect Adele, NO. Angelina sings Adeles songs BETTER thand Adele, and that is in no way meant to be a put down for Adele.
Angelina isn't being coached at all. The industry follows her lead and she is referred to as "The Boss " by all the musicians that has worked with her including Republic Records who signed her in August of 2020 as their High Priority Artist at only 14 years of age. Angelina was 15 years old when this video was recorded in 2021 and she is 16 years old now as of January 10th 2022.
no.thats not adele.Angelina's voice may be similar to Adele's, but her voice is much more expressive. Adele's voice is very good. it is powerful and clear.but adeles voice lacks the depth.the expressiveness that angelina puts in her voice.angelina has so many possibilities and techniques to bring expression into the singing, so that you don't just hear the text, you experience it.
