This song absolutely floored me when I first heard it, and it continues to impress. It's Angelina's world, and I couldn't be happier to live in it!

Actually, written by Brandon Lowrey, AKA Sterling Fox, pen name. Later, after writing this and other, he decided to try performing, stage name, Baby FuzZ.

Angelina Jordan Astar is the ultimate singer storyteller. She is also a genius arranger. Her 12 original songs, to date, are awesome. Always performs barefoot to remind her of the less fortunate children on Earth. Angelina remains humble amidst it all.

People wonder how she can sing with so much emotion about subjects that she has not had the opportunity to live even remotely. This girl was born with a lot of talent, but a lot, a lot, a lot, and triple XL ration of empathy. That's where the emotion comes from in everything she sings.

Stunning!

Probably her best cover ever on par with i put a spell on you wild bill

The majority of mainstream artists can't do your demo- best quote!

Top ten tier❤

Masterpiece of a 10 year old Angelina.

Goosebumps every time I listen to that performance ❤️ The soulful singing is incredible and especially for a 10 year old 😳😳😳 There are grown, famous artists that dont reach her knees in that department ❤️

She is a beautiful and talented artist and I love to hear her sing….to know she was 10 years old is even more beautiful ❤️🤗🎶🎶🎶🎶

This is one of her best covers done by the goddess of the universe greatest songs on RU-vid at 10 years old ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ wild bill

love it

I Love this and have listened to it countless times. But no one ever mentions the gorgeous photographs of Angelina. I am just Mesmerized by her.

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Yes, this girl is still getting better! Even so, this incredible rendition is not diminished in any way! Not only does she have a profound understanding of the human condition, she has the ability to draw us in to the story and make us feel the song, to ride the music. Angelina is emotional therapy - she makes the world a better place!

I know there will be a LOT more great songs coming from this one-of-a-kind artist, and I have listened (many, many times) to most everything she has done to date. Without a doubt, this song will always be in my top 5 Angelina Jordan songs.

Bro she is 10 years old how how how can she do this !!!! She is a gift from heaven for those of us with an ear for great music. She makes me feel things i did not know i could feel. Takes on a majic carpet ride with quad stero on board. I am 72 years old and been in music all my life but never ever has someone moved me like Angel Lina . I love your reaction and how she makes you feel. I am with you on the carpet riding the waves she makes. Not natural but Supernatural girl. Gifted like 20 soul and jazz singers expressing their lives thurough her. She is indescribable with words. She leaves the best vocal teachers speachless. Thank you dear God for sending her to us who have come to hear and love her.

Fil, this girl puts you in a place that envelopes, warms, soothes and starts the goose bumps. I agree, Fil, everything you said. #QcumberSquad #AngelinaJordan - Fil, I'm off back to the study.

10 years old, yes 10 years old. She is a gift from god, whoever your god is.

Thanks!

The emotions and depth in her voice are just incredible. Super star ❤️

Angelina is on the cusp of blowing the lid off of the music industry and dominating the charts for years to come. There are a great many very talented female vocalist, but there is only room for one Angelina Jordan. When she released her EP that was the official launch of her professional career. Her once-in-a-millennia brilliance is going to hit the global music industry like a Super Nova. She already attained legendary status. She’s is absolutely destined to achieve her dream of super stardom. Her unique multi-generational legion of fans are ready to help lift her into the stratosphere.

Yes, she puts her OWN flavor on every song she does,,,,,,super reaction.

That voice is a killer, damn she is beyond good...sighssss

YEA!!! How can this not be a forever favorite?! LOVE, LOVE this.

Nice reaction. I think Republic records agrees with you from what I hear. They gave Angelina her own studio so she can be as creative as she wants to be.

💯

THIS was a long time coming.

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

*The most successful cover coverer ever, in the history of covers!* Thank You!

❤️❤️❤️stopped by her perants because its abote suicidal, and she listendt. ❤️❤️❤️good girl

For me, it's her unmatched warm soulful voice and her unique phrasing choices that makes this one here an astounding singing masterpiece!! Great reaction!!

It's incredible how Angelina causes goosebumps 😊😊

NEWS!!!!!! NOTE!!!!!! Angelina Jordan sang a fantastic version of "Unchained Melody" live at the Nobel Prize 2023... 😊😊😊😊😊😊must listen!

This may well be...... her very best ever!!!!!!!

"Give her everything… Give her what she wants." Heh… I was saying essentially the same thing shortly after she signed with Republic. My "advice" back then to the label for how to deal with her: 1. Give her *all* the money. 2. Provide her with whatever other assistance she requests. 3. Otherwise, leave her the eff alone. 4. Take whatever she produces. 5. Market the ess out of it. 6. Distribute it to the world. 7. And everyone's happy. They don't appear to have taken onboard _all_ of my suggestions… 😉

She recorded this version in 2016, at the age of 10. It was a demo to present to singers for purchase. Baby Fuzz, the songwriter, finding no takers, released his own version in November 2018. And he was very "inspired" by Angelina Jordan's version. According to rumors, she vowed never to sing it again, because of the final verses, which could be interpreted as suicide by some.

The history of this 'demo' is very curious. I guess Baby Fuzz sent the song to several singers, Angie's team made this recording, and then they mysteriously put it in a drawer, why? I have my own theory, but it's just that, a theory, let's say that if AJ released this song when she was 20 years old, it would be a hit, that's for sure. And now comes the curious thing, two years later Baby Fuzz decided to record it himself, the result: a shameless copy of Angie's version. AJ's team found out, and someone 'posted' this 'demo' on RU-vid shortly before the official release of Baby Fuzz, which in my opinion shows that there is a backstory that we don't know about.

This is the Mega Hit that never was. As I understand it Angelina put it up on her site for less than 48 hours a was forever pulled down. It references suicide and therefore she will never sing it again. A fan made video, this one, surfaced sometime later or a piece of musical Mastery would have been lost forever. As always Phil outstanding reaction/analysis!

Felipe thank you for this fantastic reaction with this absolutely unreal cover of our princess.💛🧡❤

Many feel this is the most impressive song she has ever recorded. She brings so much of the emotion she learned from Billie Holiday, allowing her to sound like a fully adult woman who actually lived through what she is singing about. She was only 10 when she made the demo, and for reasons no one is sure about, her mom didn't allow it to go forward to production and release to the public. There is a mention of a drowning/suicide in the lyrics, and knowing how strict Sara is with regard to the words Angelina sings, perhaps that was the reason. Also, the fact that she was 10 and Sara having stated that she didn't want to have Angelina venture into a career of professional singing until she was through with school is another possibility for the project to end before it really got going.

The trouble with the song is her mothers mistaken impression that the term Holding Down for you was referring to suicide when in reality it was just about keeping her life together in a tough situation. So her mother put the Ki Bosh on its release. Thankfully someone in the studio involved in the recording leaked it or we'd not have had it. I think it is one of her most commanding pieces. Demonstrating how rich, broad, and dynamic she can be. And it is an incredible recording.

I’m forever in awe. I know it will never happen but I can’t help thinking of the crowds reaction if she surprised them with this in a concert..the roof would blow lol

STELLAR reaction, Fil! It's almost impossible to wrap your head around the fact that she did this demo at age 10, right ?? How is that even possible? Sounding like this, with SUCH an amount of soul and emotion ? The world is definitely her oyster. She put out a 6 song EP on July 21st this year, called Old Enough, which is just CRAZY good. SO far Republic Records hasn't done anything to promote her, I guess per Angelina and her family's premise, but that is soon to change. She will turn 18 on January 10th and next year will be her year. I am sure of it. And so is Republic Records. You know? Even before Angelina has generated a single dime in revenue, they just recently went ahead and built a recording studio exclusively for her to use. You betcha they have their plans and visions intact for her. And they know that she and her family are no push-overs, so I envision they will let her do her stuff, and just back it up. That's all it's gonna take really. The future GOAT right here 👍👍👍 Much love and respect from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

We love you Angelina ❤❤❤

I heard this for the first time three years ago searching for anything I could of Angelina's. After hearing it, I was stunned mute and motionless for quite some time comprehending what I just experienced. You are so correct, Angelina is very special. The great performances of her childhood is the foundation to the unparalleled music that she's doing now. Her EP OLD ENOUGH is spectacular. It's a must for my health and happiness to hear Angelina singing something everyday, and I have ever since the first time I heard her channeling Billie Holiday singing I'm A Fool To Want You at six years old on Norway's Got Talent. Thanks man, great reaction.

Angelina is in paris at the prestigious debutant ball 😅

If you ask me, she is a true empath when she sings. Even at age 6 there was a cover, don't remember the song, but she put more emotion in it than people who were in their forties and had lived some of what rhe song was about, but no way could AJ have lived through the emotions she was belting out and the way she was putting the emotion into the song, I was tearing up. Wish I could remember the name of the song, I have seen the you tube video three or four times, and I get emtional every time I see it.

Great, great, great reaction. I can think of nothing to add to that, You are so right. Give her anything and she will turn it into Gold! Great reaction. 🔥🔥🔥♥👣

We are so blessed to vittnes and to enjoy listening to her talent.❤

Incredible reaction, Sir! I love this, too. Grandma Ellen, off to sleep.

that gut wrenching anguish compelling suicide shocked the crap out of me.... so terribly dark... it's so perfectly performed we can understand why this song can never be widely released.

"Just a demo" at 10 years old! Angelina performed so many great songs, in many genres, in her tenth year.

Another reason to give credit to Baby FuzZ is that he loves her version and did not cause any issues about to "leak" or hers being spread around the net, he said everyone needs to have music in their life ,, Great Job Baby FuzZ !!

Always enjoy your reactions to Angelina. Please react to Angelina singing “YOU SAY” 🙏🙏🙏

Angelina and her family did not want this song released as it ends in suicide by drowning. Angelina lost her popular entertainment friend known as Avicii, real name Tim Bergling, who died by his own hand from suicide at age 28. His death, according to his father, was aided by the pressures of his contractual responsibilities to his recording company. Angelina's family took immediate note and could see the future of Angelina's career headed in the same direction. This is one of the reasons she has been allowed to mature without the pressures of the modern music business. They asked that this song be kept out of the media, not wanting any influence on young minds. It was leaked because of the true unbelievable talent Angelina showed in this demo. Baby Fuzz insisted that Angelina sing this because he knew just how good it would be. The family has relaxed it's stance on this song now, 9 years later. Just some background. I think many listen to this but miss what is happening here.

Love it. Angelina is spesial

VERY gospel feel to this performance -- absolutely right. You're the first reactor I've heard to point it out. The piano intro is straight gospel tone and syncopation.

Good to see you bro ! Its been awhile. Thank you for another top quality reaction. 👍

BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL❤

And this is 10 years old!!!!! This should have been Her song and hers to record for her own album

I love your reaction, but I couldn't find Angelina in your playlist! 😢

The thing that gets me the most about this one is not simply the fact that it was a demo, since that doesn't _automatically_ mean it wasn't worked on as carefully as any other studio track, but the _implication_ of that fact, that she almost certainly sang this with the full expectation that no one in the "general public" would ever hear it. She merely had to "demonstrate" how the song could be sung. And she did *that* . OMG…

i wish she would release this on her new album..this would go to number one for sure..ANGELINA please do it ! let the whole world hear IT.

Age 10!!!!! Where does the emotion come from???

This would be a sensation if recorded and published. I am hopeful to see this happen!

It is a masterpiece!

It's still one of my favourite Angelina early songs.... can anybody explain to me why we do not hear Angelina everywhere.

A classic like no other!

Awesome reaction! She is amazing.

Too special exactly. Thanks

Musical genius in action !!!

They gave her a recording studio so she can work it all out in her own time and speed. Smart move

10 years old here... how???

For your own sake, it's worth going to have a listen to Baby Fuzz's version. Thanks Baby Fuzz for writing the song, but OH GOLLY does Angelina's version completely decimate his own. Also, Brandon (baby fuzz) said he hadn't even heard Angelina's version prior to recording his. (Angelina sang ir before him). Though it seems odd to me, he would have someone do a Demo and not even hear it before deciding to self release the song. Anywhoo, it's an incredible performance by Angelina.

10, 10, 10 years old!!!🤪

She was 10 yrs old when she recorded this demo 🤯 There were some stories that AJs family didnt "approve" of the lyrics but thats BS. David Touma was the one who spoke to AJ about the song and her reply was it was just a demo.

Yeah, there are a lot of different stories about this song, how Angelina got a hold of it, who put out their version first, and why this was never officially released by Angelina. I have this article about Baby Fuzz talking about this song and why he decided to do it himself after sending out demos of this song to other artists..... In an online article from the website Consequence Sound, Baby Fuzz describes how he wrote the song. In the article, "Baby FuzZ details the Origins of new song I m Still Holding Out for You : and how he found his creative spark in Oslo and in the music of Alabama Shakes. The most interesting information in the article is as follows: "...this song had been completed in 2016 and the idea was to try to give it to a big artist. I had sent it to a myriad of people over the last few years, with no luck. I think it was the music industry s way of telling me I need to start putting out my own songs. Finally, early in 2018, I kind of came to the realization that the demo was pretty strong with my vocal. At the point, I went back in on the production and kind of took it over the finish line. Now I m super happy nobody else took it, because it feels 100% honest to what I was feeling at that time." From this, we can probably safely say that Angelina was one of those artists he sent this to. RU-vid users Gustavo Eleazar De Yermo y Parres Paredes posted the "LEAKED" video on November 11, 2018. Baby Fuzz released his official music video on December 19, 2018. Currently, Baby Fuzz's video has over 33 thousand views, Angelina has over 385 thousand views....

Sat on a shelf gathering dust for some time , the fan made video contains pictures of a older Angelina .

Thanks Tom. Check out some of Angie’s new originals if you haven’t already.

Fil, would they have released THIS version of the song, Miss Angelina´s childhood would have been over.....at 10 years of age. German greetings.

The family felt that the last verse was too close to supporting suicide and at 10 felt that Angelina was too young to be associated with that. All the pics were taken when she was 12-13 maybe a couple when she was younger. Still there is no way that a 10 year old is singing this song. This is why I call her 10-12 her First Golden Era because she just was too good to be doing what she was doing. From here Angelina really started sampling and experimenting with vocal affects, i.e. vocal fry, and breathy airy style and playing with vowel sounds. She also got into runs and riffs. Then at 16 with her TikTok of Adele's 'Love Is A Game' I heard what I call her adult voice. Not that she abandoned anything she had been experimenting with, but that she had distilled those elements to what, and how, she wanted to sing those affects going forward. These are just my observations as someone who has watched her since 2017. Plus seeing and hearing her from videos they put up of her youngest efforts. Angelina will continue to grow and expand because her mind never rests and change is a product of time and exposure to newer methods and styles from different sources. One thing she will never get is boring.

Great Reaction 👍🙏👣🌹

😇😇😇🥰🥰🥰

there are a lot of rumors. Actually, this is her song because she sang it first, but only as a demo. I think it's quite simple, the song would have gone through the roof, and for her 10 years on this song and how she is protected by her family, the hype that followed would have been too early, and as already mentioned, would have been It would have been difficult to release this song without a record deal and only others would have benefited from it. but that's just a guess on my part

Can you believe she was 10 when she recorded this.... (complex history this song ... never properly released I believe - Angelina's version isn't really a cover as I think it was the first recording )

This is a killer killer killer tune. As usual. It was leaked because of a suicide reference that her mom didn’t want to release.

The song is about obsessive unrequited love driving them to the point of suicide.

😀😀😀😀😀

Angelina's parents wouldn't let her release it because it refers to suicide‼‼‼‼‼‼And she was ten‼‼‼‼

👍👍😍😍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤩🤩

Are you back on the angel train ? I hope so, because you have a lot to catch up on. 9:09

This is a cover thats not really a cover if Im correct baby fuzz didn't actually record his version till he heard Angelina so it seems like he covered his own song...
