I honestly believe that Angelina is an Angel, sent to us, during the most difficult times in our lives, to bring us love, inspiration, compassion, & hope for a brighter future ❤️💙 How can we not believe in something greater than us, when you hear her voice ❤️💙 Loved your reaction, & only Angelina can bring us right there with her ❤️💙
Angelina is so special because she can express the feelings of emotion that any particular song is about. This is doubly amazing because she is so young and innocent, brought up by a loving and supportive family who have mostly shielded her from the hardships of life. Where does this depth of emotion come from about things she hasn't experienced? But in this song, she is obviously tapping real emotions about things that she has actually experienced and there is even more emotion in her delivery. It shows that in the future after she has loved and lost, experienced hardships and setbacks as well as triumphs she will be able to touch our souls even more greatly. Not that I wish trials and tribulations upon young Angelina, but they are just part of the natural course of life. I wish all the best in life for her.
What's amazing is that Angelina is not using a studio mic. The quality of voice has a lot of depth and make the meaning of the song that much more powerful.
There are many songs that I heard all my life, but never really felt them. Then a 12 year old from Norway comes along and sings them in a way that I feel them for the first time. Angelina has a way of really making me listen to the words and understanding the real meaning of the song.
OMG, it's the Angelina day, thanks Brian, for the wonderful and sweet reaction to this particular interpretation. In this song the personality of Angelina comes out in a incredible manner for the overflowing emotion she manages to express by singing it in memory of her beloved grandfather and also the moment when she lets herself go to tears is incredible, in her pain she still tries to finish the song. And Ivan accompanied her on guitar in an extremely respectful way. 😔❤️ I've lost count of how many times I've listened to it, yet it moves me every time...
Thank you Brian for you opening up & sharing yourself to us. I pray you guys get a few more good memories with your dog too. Just like Rusty & the rest said below, She just was at her Grandpa funeral a couple of days earlier & was in hotel room & recorded this, cause she misses him. I like how Ivan watched & felt her as she was singing & than classyful stopped.
I have stated before that I pity the fool that would ever hurt this young lady. She has grandpas, uncles, fathers, brothers all over this world. Just saying. Loved your reaction Brian. I have 10 grand kids, 5 children and my mother will be turning 100 this next January, so yes I am blessed. Angelina reminds me how important family is. Thumbs up Brian.
Yes Julio! I know I will never meet Angelina and I could never take her Grandfather's place. I loved my own grandparents so much and still, at age 66, miss them and think of them every day. I am not a grandfather but I love Angelina in the way I think a doting grandfather would love a grandchild and I always include Angelina in my prayers asking that God protect and watch over her all the days of her life. Angelina is such a beautiful soul and I cherish her. If I had one wish on my death bed it would be to give Angelina a hug and tell her life is, indeed, beautiful. She saved me and will never know it in this life but we will meet in the life to come!
@@jeffreyjenkins1242 Thank you for those wonderful uplifting words Jeffrey, you made my day. I happen to be visiting in Arizona right now, I live with my son in Las Vegas. I will be 73 in February, Lord willing. Angelina is a very special young lady who has become music for me. I listen to her every day. God bless you.
I agree, a very powerful performance and very emotional! Thank you for sharing your story about your grandmother. It's good not to have regrets. So sorry about your dog being sick and not having very much time left. I hope Bonnie has a lot more quality time left then you think and that she doesn't suffer. Hugs to you and your family!
And I'm so sorry about your dog. My small Pitt, Boo was diagnosed with lymphoma unexpectedly and lasted only 10 days. Walks while they can walk, ice cream, burgers, and nothing but love will carry you both through.
It is a powerful song! Angelina really makes you feel it! Thanks for your reaction. Sorry about your pup. Trying to minimize regrets is always a worthwhile endeavor.
one or 2 days after funeral its said she recorded this and every time most of us are not just tearing up ,,,,,,,,,,,,,magic ,,,,,,,,always magic when she tells us any story thanx for reaction
One of my favorites of hers. 2nd to Elvis because my beloved late cousin played his version for me full blast over and over and over for hours on her record player one day in 1979. I cry buckets every time!!!!!!!!!!! ((((((💜💜💜Rest in peace Chula, Dad, Elvis, angelinas grandpa!💜💜💜)))))))))
We can see she was struggling to deliver this song, but still she managed to hang on and gift us with her beautiful voice and interpretation almost until the very end.
Willie Nelson only did a cover of this song. It was originally released and written by BJ Thomas in 1970. Elvis Presley made it a big hit, as a cover, in 1972. Willie Nelson sang it in 1982, of course also a huge hit.
Her Grandfather was the one who taught her to sing and was the one guiding light in her childhood. Her mother worked in stage shows and was gone a lot. Her dad apparently was gone most of the time. Her Grandmother and Grandfather were her guiding lights. Aren't we gifted with the results of their love and help. She wrote Million Miles in dedication to him. You are watching what he did for you, me and Angelina. We get to hear her.
her mother was a school teacher her grand dad didnt teach her to sing, Angelinas grandma took angelina to record shops when she was three years old , and bought her Jazz records from all the greats, Thats how angelina got into Jazz, FYI. Just Sayin ?
I can't imagine Angelina not being a loving granddaughter. Maybe she was busy with her music career but that's is part of life. Nothing we can do about that. It takes Angelina to infuse more feeling than ever before to a song. People need to think about dead as a natural process so you do things accordingly and minimize possible regrets. Yvan Mendez is amazing at following Angelina and giving her space when she does her thing.
I was almost worried for you reviewing this one. It is just Providential that Angelina can share her grief and sorrow which in turn inspires us to introspect about our own life's twists and turns. Thank you for sharing your personal tidbits. Lessons learned from The Angel.
So very sorry for your dog, Brian! Pets really become part of our family ♥ Angelina is wonderful at transmitting emotions but also she's a great storyteller. I think that's why she can bring new meaning to every word she sings. And as singing is her favourite thing in life, what a better way for her to make a tribute to her granda?
I spent every second I could with my grandparents before they passed. My Dad and I spent so much time together his last 15 years. I took him to baseball and basketball games. We watched my nephew excell in football together. I sat with him countless nights watching cowboy and war movies. The Duke, Clint Eastwood, Bob Mitchum and Bogie in film noir. Now I spend as much time with my mother as she feels up to (she has inoperable cancer and, at 84, has declined treatment). I don't think Angelina feels she slighted her Grandfather. I think she came to the same realization as I. There are so many loved ones and so little time that everyone wishes they could just have a few more minutes to tell them everything there never seems to be enough time to say.
They were vary close, she is just VERY sad, and what better way than to do it with her fans that she loves a lot. A wonderful tribute, and that she shared it with us. Yes, it wakes up memories of all that we lost, and wish we had another chance. Wow, heavy...…: )
I could feel that you did not know the back story... and you could hear the hurt in her voice... and in the end she could not hold it back anymore.... I cracked myself when she began to tear up...
Coincidentally, my maternal grandparents lived just outside Kokomo. I don't know how old my granny was when she passed, but i know she was around a hundred.
Next: short and sweet. Angelina when you wish upon a star ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R5IvkHBfF38.html The hair!!!!!!!!!!🌹🏵💮🌸🏵🌹💮💖💖💖💖💖💖🎼🎹🎶🎵🎹🎤💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
