FIRST TIME HEARING | ANGELINA JORDAN - "SUSPICIOUS MINDS" | (ELVIS PRESLEY COVER) | REACTION 

The Queen of music paying tribute to the King of rock !!!

Thanks for the reaction to our angel Angelina…she’s simply the best..👍👏👍👏

Angelina's voice comes at you in delicious harmonic waves.

Great tribute to the legend Elvis I seen him in 1975 providence civic center awesome I was 16 I've seen over 100 concerts in my lifetime that was my favorite I need to see Angelina Jordan in concert and That will be the last concert I will ever attend I won't need to see anyone else Wild bill 🤩

… ELVIS and ANGELINA... my absolute favourites!! … What a great tribute to the King! Elvis would be honored and speechless 😮!! … I can't even describe how incredibly good these two are!!… Phenomenal!! ✨💎✨ 🕺🏻🎸🕯Thank you

Great reaction and respect to this amazing performance, possibly my all-time favourite cover by anyone ever, she is just off the scale.

Angelina plays guitar and piano - she plays them often on her tiktok and Instagram posts.

I love her version of the song. Every time she interprets a song by stripping it in her own way, she seems to simultaneously increase the level of understanding of the lyrics and amplify their expressive power. Angelina's musical vision transcends the ordinary and she always manages to give a different interpretative reading, she really has a musical knowledge and analytical ability that is beyond my understanding, also considering her age. Her phrasing, underpinned by her wonderful use of breath and her jazzy vision, always fascinates me and gives me chills every time, despite having listened to it hundreds of times. Now it's a different song, but it's also the same, it still has that harmony, but somehow (in a way only Angelina can process) it's even more emotional, it's slower, but it's so close to your soul flow that kidnaps you.💛🧡❤

Priscilla's hairdo, Elvis 69 black suit and red guitar. Rob Christie on piano.

I think it's a great version 😎❤️👍

The baby and very little girl are Angelina's cousins - the preteen girl is Angelina's sister Juliette and the Piano Player is Rob Christie Director of the Republic Records Los Angeles Studio which is the record label that Angelina has been signed with since she was 14 years old.

I think EP would have been proud, i would've like to hear the two of them as a duet

Yes, don’t have to tear anyone down to build someone up. Her performance was so good an different from the awesome Classic Elvis performance would be comparing apples and oranges. Great reaction

Great, thanks! Love your reactions and glad you got to this one!

Never Overdone Angelina Jordan is known for her captivating performances that never feel overdone. She sings with such emotion that she mesmerizes the audience. A case in point is Suspicious Minds, which was Elvis Presley's last hit. Angelina and Rob Christie reworked the song to showcase AJ's talent. They kept the same theme as a tribute to Elvis, but they made the song their own. Angelina Jordan's version of Suspicious Minds is a stunning example of her artistry. © Larry D. Pifer

I Love Her Version of this Song. Elvis would have been Proud !! He actually did two different versions himself, the Album version which was a bit slower and the live Vegas Version, definitly more fun and upbeat.

Great reaction man, keep Rolling with Angelina, ill be watching 😊

Great reaction. the voice of a generation.

Her Grandma, Mery Zamani, helped produced this. She used the same store (Melrose Gallery in L.A.) she used for her My Funny Valentine and I Have Nothing videos. Her sister Juliette was the older girl and the 2 younger girls are her Uncle Mike's kids. 2- time Grammy winner Rob Christie is on piano once again. He is also the music director of Republic Records, the music company she is signed with. The beehive hairstyle was to honor Priscilla Presley and the time period she met Elvis. The black suit and red guitar was a classic look for Elvis from his comeback concert. What a performance and homage to The King!

💗💗💗 *Only Angelina Jordan, can take an amazing song, from a phenomenal artist, & make it her own* 💗💗💗 I have often been lost for words, when trying to describe Angelina Jordan's unique vocals, & I still cannot express, or even come to terms, with what my ears are hearing, most times, but one thing I absolutely do know, is that, when I hear her voice, it always touches my soul, & can make me feel things I didn't even know existed!!! To me, that is her gift, & what makes her, not only a singer, but an incredible soulful artist 💝 *SHE TRULY IS A GIFT* 💝

😇😇😇🥰🥰🥰

My thoughts on this, Power & Pure Velvet Perfection! This vocal arrangement was all Angelina, I have no doubt in collaboration with a stellar team including Rob Christie & Mery Zamani her Grandmother. She is a Master Storyteller. The video is shot in the same Antique Store that she did 'My Funny Valentine' on Valentine’s Day. I believe it is in LA near her home. I believe the girls in the video represent Angelina's Journey from infancy to present through the classics of music history. Thus the Antique store, She grew up studying and performing these classics. That is Rob Christie on piano. Sister Juliette and a couple of Uncle Michael's Babies. I think that makes them cousins not nieces. Full Black Leather Bodysuit, the guitar from his concert in 68 and the hair a homage to Priscilla Presley. Yeah! She can bring tears to your eyes. I base my interpretation on my knowledge of Angelina's journey from an 18 month old little girl singing a "classic" of music history 'I Will Always Love You' . She has been listening to these classics on repeat on YOUTube since then under the guidance and inspiration of her Grandmother Mery Zamani. She has been performing these classics since her first time in studio at 6 yrs old.. She has continued this journey through her 1st introduction to the world with her "Classic'" 'Gloomy Sunday’ and following with her many performances at her many Jazz Festivals, TV performances, Concerts, and charity events, studio recordings and practice sessions at home accompanied or not. The location in the Antique store represents these classics (like the furniture) of another era. To me she portrays wonder at all these classics surrounding her. as she has travelled this road. Her tribute to Elvis is at her present age, today, each stage represented by her cousins and sister and ending with Angelina herself on the couch still admiring all this history surrounding her. The beautiful rendition of the song, and other tributes are in the leather outfit, Guitar and hair a tribute to Priscilla. 🔥🔥🔥♥👣

👍🏼🎼🤗

She is so awesome. What a voice! Love this so much. Love your reaction!

Absolutely phenomenal arrangement of a classic, the first two little girls in the room are Angelina’s cousins her Uncle Mikes children, the eldest girl is Angelina’s sister Juliette, Uncle Mike is Angelina’s manager, production input from Angelina’s Grandmother Mery Zamani who is a formidable talented Iranian 🇮🇷 artist, the pianist is two times Grammy award winner Rob Christie the musical director of Republic Records who Angelina signed with at 14 years old, Angelina is paying tribute to Elvis with her black outfit and her red guitar and Pricilla Presley hair style, Cover of a Cover as the original artist Mark James who wrote and recorded Suspicious Minds didn’t achieve with his original, then Elvis Covered the song and it was a hit, great reaction thanks 🙏

💯

My interpretation of the symbolism of this music video: First, and foremost; Angelina Jordan at 16 is the epitome of a Storytelling ARTIST, and she has the ability to take us by the hand and lead us down an imaginary path that we visualize as reality. The remarkable fact is that we experience this in each of her performances. In this video we see her as a married woman in her mid to late 20s. As the video starts out, we see dishes, and it is a symbol of a home. As AJ sings the phrase “Were caught in a trap, I can’t walk out” we see 3 small children, this to me is a marriage where the children come first. If it were AJ by herself, she would not stay in a relation without trust. © Larry D. Pifer

Funny how she's looking like his wife.

😀😀😀😀😀

Thank you for returning to Angelina, it's been a long time. Your reactions to her performances are always worth watching. The song was written by Mark James, an American singer/songwriter, who recorded it the year it was written. The best known version, however, was that done by Elvis Presley. It was his last No 1 song. In the Wikipedia entry of the origins of the song, Mark James is said to have remarked "That late one night, he was fooling around on his Fender guitar and using his Hammond organ pedals for a bass line and came up with what he thought was a catchy melody. At the time, he was married to his first wife but still had feelings for his childhood sweetheart, who was married back in Houston. James's wife had suspicions about his feelings. He felt it was a confusing time for him and that all three were "caught in this trap that they could not walk out of." Other singers covering this song invariably base their performance on that of Elvis, in that it is very "upbeat". Angelina took a very different path in that she read and understood the lyrics and what Mark James intended when writing them . To my mind, her rendition is much truer to the emotions of the song. The children appearing in the video were Angelina's cousins Aurora (first) and then Athena - daughters of her uncle Michael Astar, and then her sister Juliette. I would hazard a guess that they were included to emphasise that children are very important to Angelina and her family. Confession! I have never been a great fan of Elvis Presley, although I do like some of his earlier recordings, and I had never heard of the song "Suspicious minds" but knew that Angelina would completely take ownership of it, and she did. It was beautiful. After listening to it several times, I decided to download the lyrics to see whether she kept to the original structure. She didn't, and the song is all the better for it. For me, that she started with the Bridge of the song is very significant and, I feel, very indicative of Angelina's "up front" transparency. She was declaring that it was important that their love did not die, and then carries on to say why she feels as she does. Others first say how they feel and then, almost as an afterthought, assure their love they don't want it to end. For me, it is whether I feel the singer is genuine about the situation and wishes it could be resolved or whether the singer understands the situation but thinks the blame is on her/his partner but feels the need to assure them they don't want it to end (until somebody else comes along).

Im from the understanding that she us Elvis reincarnated. Waaaay to many similarities plus her face has almost exact features and they look identical at 17

I played both at the same time the tempo is slower for sure but still good This was one of EP show closers well AJ

Try her cover : you say

👍👍👍💞💞💞

Cut this again with EP with A I OMG

Hey AB, I know how much you enjoy listening to country music. So, I had to drop off another suggestion for another country artist, I believe you might have heard one or two of her tunes before, so if interested. "Shania Twain - Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under (Official Music Video)"peace out~

Please react Sissel Kyrkjebø - The Old Castle❤

Any disrespect to Elvis is a disrespect to Angelina the Barefoot Angel.

Just noooo

I find this extremely boring, she doesn't have very much charisma
