Thanks for your reaction l hope the family will soon be better.Wish lhad a ticket to seeAJ in Norway what a dream Just not able enough old age does not come alone sad to say as l am73 years young Love Frances from Scotland take carexx.
Wonderful reaction, Maunalee, thanks. This is the latest treat that Angelina gives us, as she plays her Fender at 5am at her house, her fantastic short, scratched and deep version of this famous song (the Animals in comparison look like guys playing), recorded and sung in the purest Angelina Style (one of many 😅). (or Instagram and it's worth a subscription just for her), in recent months she has posted small parts of different performances, in recent months she has posted small parts of different performances, almost all a cappella, alone in front of the phone and they are songs by Duffy, LP, Adele, Drake, Richie, Smith, Sting, Styles but are absolutely fantastic for the passion that he manages to exhale from hers voice. 💛 🧡 ❤️
Thanks Maunalee, my heart dropped when Angelina posted this and for good reason. Grew up with this song and this is simply spectacular given it is just her, guitar, camera and that absolutely golden voice. All that is needed. Thanks for sharing and supporting the Angel as always.
Great reaction Maunalee ; )) Hopefully all goes well, and we get to see her Live here in Norway this summer, 2 Live concerts in my home town in July .You have an excellent day Maunalee, take care an stay safe ; ))
What I love about these small snippets is that they can be precursors of what is to come. I won't be surprised to see her first major album contain full, studio performed versions of some of these snapshot covers. The years 2022-2023 are going to be yet another set of magical years, my Angel friends.
Wow, another great, entertaining reaction Maunalee! I too, love this beautiful song. Angelina’s cover immediately shot up to the top of the list of this song’s best version, IMHO. I also love how you gently noticed Angelina’s “interpretive” mispronunciation. 😬 Every time I hear it, it brings a smile to my face and it immediately reminds me that she is either proficient or conversant in FOUR languages. She certainly is familiar with the “mispronounced” word, and yet it occurred to me that she has probably only discussed that word in her native Norwegian. Like I said, it brings a smile to my face ever time I hear it. 😊❤️👣
Interestingly, Angelina sang "She sewn my new blue jeans" (she said 'soon') just like the Animals version. I had to correct myself and not attribute that as a mispronunciation.
Interesting observation Ken. I’m definitely going to check it out. I assumed Angelina’s was a “mispronounciation”, but I do recall (from listening to it decades ago) that like many blues/jazz standards, stylistic pronounciations are the norm... enunciation takes a back seat to style. When it comes to jazz, never underestimate Angelina’s studied scholarship. 😉❤️
Maunalee thanks for another great reaction to Angelina and for encouraging viewers to use the links you provided. Hope to chat with you soon on my idea for your Thursday video on how reaction channels can best support the artist they react to.
I could listen to her all day just doing that riffing at the end. Thanks for checking this one out, Maunalee, and thanks for linking to the video with all the other links ;) BTW: I don't think I was here on day one, but if my memory is correct, I was sub #86. It's been great watching your channel grow over the years :)
AJ la Emperatriz del jazz , hermosa interpretacion , solo ella y nadie más puede cantar y interpretar de esa manera , ella nació para ser la mejor vocalista del mundo excelente reacción , un saludo desde México
I'm glad Angelina didn't sing the original lyrics for House of the Rising Sun. It was about a young girl who turns to prostitution at the House of the Rising Sun. I Believe it was Lead Belly who changed the lyrics to a male protagonist in the 1930s.
She has not done a cover of Fast Car yet, but Tracy Chapman is absolutely an artist I hope Angelina will discover. From the same time I also remember the British artist Tanita Tikaram. I think that she had a couple of songs that deserves a cover. And by the way, in some of the early pictures of Tanita she just looks like Angelina with a short hair style.
I was watching one of your reaction’s of At Last, you were talking about Angelina voice and I wanted to tell you that I’ll be there was the other song she sang witch you mentioned. She had a really bad cold from when she was in India barefoot but she insisted she do the show, she is tough as nails 🙏👍
your reaction at the end with your hands all over your face was like something I imagine one of your cute kids would do. And then a look of "what can you say about that???" This was the second song I learned on guitar 33years ago. It's a great song for Angelinas level of guitar playing. But nobody has sung it like that. She's just messing around and having fun with it and improvising with her favourite influences and her own epic talent and experience. She knows how to win the approval of us older generation. She's a talented and loveable grandchild.
I hope you are feeling better. Miss your reactions! Angelina has performed 4 concerts in Norway and has released a few more amazing songs. There are many fan recording of the live concerts, some great quality. You have plenty to choose from to catch up! I would recommend "Suspicious Minds", a tribute to the "King" and her live version of "Mt Everest". Both are stunners. She first introduced Mt Everest at a live concert live and it shocked me.
Most people know this song from the Eric Burdon and the Animals cover. This old folk song was originally written from a woman’s point of view. Since “The House of the Rising Sun”, was a house of ill repute, that made more sense. She sang how her life was in ruin from sin and misery. I think there is an old recording from the 1030s somewhere on the internet of the original song.
Love this need to hear full song would be Fabulous.Hope you are feeling better and the family,wish l was going toNorway for the Concert’s FRANCES from Scotlandxx
tik tok you get to hear live but it has like a 2 minute time limit I hate that. Maunalee have you listened to her do "I would rather go blind" or "lovin you"? Both are live and very bluesy think you would like them.
Just spent a couple hours going through your Angelina Playlist. Love your reactions. Will check out Courtney tomorrow I like her as well. 2 of my favorites I did not see on Angelina's list yet. I Would Rather Go Blind I'm Still Holding Out For You
"Some people hates me, but it's okay"! I wish more would say, or at least think like that. You are really worth watching Maunalee. I only wish you don't disappear for a long while, now and then :)
Hi Maunalee You Will Absolutely Love The Virtual Mashup of AJ VS THE ANIMALS HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN. It is a great collaboration of pure ingeniousnous.
I would love to see you review Something's got a hold of me - around age ten when she really matured her vocals. You will have fun with this one. Also My Funny Valentine - released today!!! I can't wait to see your reaction to them!!!
Maunalee, speaking of Rusty, he just posted Angelina's latest Instagram "My Funny Valentine", the full-length version. As a vintage music fan, you'll find it simply amazing. Everything you want in an Angelina cover. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ETGLbsGDAI0.html
You should DEFINITELY check out her newest cover of "My Funny Valentine". She is SO refined in that, and its just a masterclass. It has jumped up to one of my favorites by her..i KNOW you'll freak out haha
I recently heard an old version of this, by Bob Dylan, with the more correct lyrics. It's meant to be sung by a woman, it's not her father who's a gamblin' man, it's her lover, and you can guess what the house of the rising sun is. It's more touching that way. (This song is something like a hundred and fifty years old -- the animal's version with a male voice is new, only about 55 years old)
Born New Orleans 1968. Moved to North Carolina 1971. Still love red beans and rice. Still love Zydeco. Still pronounce it New Awlins. Apparently that's how natives say it. The songwriter must have been from there, and quite frankly, it sounds better in the song. Flows better. Unbelievable how as she gets older she just gets better. "Empress of Jazz" indeed. (Side note- if you've never heard Zydeco, next time you're in a good mood put some on. Tupitina, Iko Iko, some good fiddling music. Marcia Ball. Some good toe tapping tunes.) Stay healthy. Keep up the good work. Always enjoy your reaction and comments.
Great to see you keeping up with Angelina's progress. A Tracy Chapman cover is a great idea, Fast Car or even Talking about a Revolution. Here's Tracy in the old Wembley Stadium, London, when she got her break ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Xv8FBjo1Y8I.html Stevie Wonder was due on but misplaced his backing track CD, asked for another performer to fill in while he looked for it, and the rest is history as they say. Thanks Maunalee.
Like you l would like to see afull song of this l bet she is getting excited about her concert inNorway l think two or three. Concerts,wish l could be there?Take care Frances from Scotland xxx
This is not really one of her "better songs". But she has over a hundred covers That would blow your socks off. She has covered songs by Adele, Whitney, James Brown, Dinah Washington, Cher, Elvis, and a lot of others. She can sing just about anything. She grew up singing jazz type songs. Today she is 16, but has done studio work since she was 6. Won Norway's Got Talent when she was 8. Became Norway's youngest published author at the age of 9. She does her own arrangements. She can also play the piano. Normally she doesn't play an instrument when she sings.
Although Angelina sounds awesome singing anything, this style displays her talents more than any other. And while I like seeing Angelina playing guitar, I think having a supreme instrumental talent accompanying her and for her to concentrate on singing is the right formula for her. Not that she seemed a bit distracted or her singing was diminished, it is just that there are better guitarists than her and her vocal talent deserves the best possible accompaniment.
Do you think it would be feasible to arrange for a SUPREME INSTRUMENTAL TALENT. whenever ANGELINA decides to have a bit of fun and records for TIK TOK on her mobile phone. in the early hours.
@@tomwhite4736 Not at all, that wasn't even close to the point I was trying to make. I loved watching her impromptu self-accompanied performance for TikTok and would love to see more of it. Very few professional musicians allow such casual moments to be recorded and published because they worry that anything less than their best will be criticized (as well as not monetized). Angelina obviously has the self-confidence as well as the talent not to be concerned with such things. What I was talking about were more formal performances and recordings. Angelina herself has always surrounded herself with talented musicians and I think it has worked well for her. I have seen so many other singers who insist on self-accompaniment when their ability doesn't justify it like all those who can do little more than strum some chords on a guitar. I imagine that Angelina was probably better than that when she was very little since she seems very proficient now, but there is something to be said for specialization.
@@robertvirnig638 of course it's desirable to have top notch musicians .to accompany her ,when oppropriate , she has always done that has she not? I don't get your concern, your post did not make your point clear ,as it was a comment in relation to this Tik Tok performance.regards Tom.
That mispronounciation was like fingernails on a blackboard for me, but I love the song enough that I'm OK with it. 😁 I'd be one of those old guys cheering and probably spilling my drimk. 🤣 I very rarely watch reactions to TikTok videos, but I'm glad I watched this one. Thanks for doing it!
Might not have been a mispronunciation, but something like a vowel modification. That is not uncommon, especially in contemporary music. Words come out totally different sometimes, but it flows better within the lyrics.
@@KarmaKahn I know she often does vowel manipulation, but the only other time it sounded wrong was what she did to the word toad in "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road."
This reactor picked out pronounouciation in her 1st reaction of ANGELINA, she is still banging on about it ,she was wrong then and is now, I'm glad I'm making this comment after she has given a good review otherwise it would look like sour grapes. After watching all of her reactions of ANGELINA I'm convinced she is out of her depth, music/ radio background or not, she is never satisfied always finds a criticism from somewhere.
Give me one reason by Tracy Chapman would be even better. I think she would do wonders with song!!! As for your weight loss, it was just water unfortunately I guess 🙂.
She gets lost inside this song and goes to some other place that we can't go to, but she sings to us while she is there. And don't worry we don't hate you!
I know you weren't crazy about "I Put a Spell On You," which is fine but if you look at Screamin Jay Hawkins version, TzYt8danKwWnx, (His face is on the coffee mug she's holding), you might have a better appreciation of what she pulled off at age 9. Also, the version of "Feeling Good" you reacted to was not her best. To me she sounded like she had a cold or something. The best version is Angelina in top form at age 10. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p8kAL-sGJx8.html Love your channel and glad to see you back.
When I first saw this I was convinced it was a very good lip sync by someone trying to mimic AJ. The voice is unmistakably her, but the different eye color, blushy cheeks, and some other things just didn't seem to be her. I'm not saying that she shouldn't have the right to do those things, just that in a world with so many people already trying to scam others it just makes it easier to see this as someone's attempt to gain clicks that shouldn't be theirs. I stand corrected in this case, of course... and yes, AJ is aMAZing.
Always enjoy your reactions. For some reason no matter how hard I try, I just can't get into Angelina. Maybe that's because I'm a metalhead, but even then they're are non-metal voices I don't mind. I know I'm in the minority, and when I say I don't really like her sound I take nothing away from her talent. She's just not for me.
Have you ever done reactions to Okeefe Foundation videos or School of Rock videos? If not do Sober by Tool or 42 and 6 by the students at Okeefe. Also California Dreaming by the School of Rock students.
Great reaction! You're the first person that I've seen who noticed that Angelina mispronounced "sewed". Would love to see you react to "Yesterday " on her cover channel. If you'd like to try a new singer, you might consider Emily Linge. She's not Angelina but she can sing. Glad you and your family are feeling better!
Emily Ling is a fantastic singer, instrumentalist, and great role model to any teen wondering what dressing well means. Also, as closely AJ is watched by her label and mom, Sara, a language teacher, I believe AJ's Norwegian accent creeped into that relaxed impromptu performance.
@@jamil2447 The mispronunciation may have been due to the language difference. I've noticed before that every now and then Angelina mispronounces a word she's not familiar with, even though her English is very good. Emily Linge is a very talented singer and also plays the piano and guitar well. She deserves some recognition.
I understand you ask for an "unknown" artist (at least in the US). Here is a suggestion: Glennis Grace - Always (Official Live Video) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YinV_I7snwk.html
