Reacting to Angelina Jordan | Back To Black | This is Outstanding ! 🤩 

Angelina Jordan is unbelievable, she's totally amazing... 👏 😯

"THIS" is why I only listen to and watch Angelina reaction videos. She did this at 10 years old, she is 16 now, and has only got better in the past 6 years. Yes, there are other good singers out there, I'm 67 and I've heard a LOT of them, but there is only one Angelina Jordan, and she is more than just a good singer. She is more than just a great singer. She is an amazing artist, and has a grasp on EVERYTHING that is involved in every song she performs. No one, and I mean NO ONE has touched me emotionally in all my life, like this young lady does. She doesn't just sing a song, she draws you in to her world and makes you FEEL the song. If there are people that don't feel "IT", and I know there are, all I can say is I'm sorry for you.

This, with her word changes, massages my heart to tears.

Definitely singing directly to Amy.

Beautiful performance. She is the definition of Prodigy. Even if you didn't have the age right, it couldn't be anything except younger.

Probably one of the best reactions of Angelina I have seen on u-tube. Very measured, very controlled, very heartfelt, very accurate, very loving and very much appreciated by me. Thumbs up lady, thank you for your time, see you on the next one.

Yes she wrote the new lyrics in the day before the recording session but that is only part of the story. A local TV station was doing a news feature about Angelina earlier in the day of the recording session at a amusement park. Angelina screamed to the heavens while riding the roller coaster. Here is a link to that news feature. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3XXFu_V8Lcs.html

Angelina Jordan is one of a kind she can change your voice like a chameleon a call her girl with 1000 voices

Hi Samantha! ✨Angelina just has an intrinsic ability to keep blowing your mind with every performance, doesn't she? It's insane to truly put together all the facts around her incredibly broad talent pool. So many people say "for her age" - and while, yes, it's astounding and utterly ridiculous for her age, the abundance of her talents (in all aspects) boggles the mind to have all that she is and does in one person for anyone, at any age. We are so lucky to be alive during her youth. I read once it's as if we were alive to watch Mozart grow up! And omg, can't wait for your reaction to Million Miles! All of Angelina's originals are incredible - but that one is soooo deep and emotionally cathartic. I always love your reactions to AJ. Thank you, hun! Have a beautiful weekend! 😊

Second comment. This was an unusual session for Angie, who is known for recording in a single take. There is a cute video (on Mozarz?) of her listening to the playback of the first session, and her facial expressions are priceless. Like she was eating lemons. The little perfectionist did a second take which is phenomenal. Bye, again

Samantha, I really enjoy your Angelina's video reactions along with the other singers. The back story about the lyrics to "Back to Black", Angelina not only changes the lyrics she also changes her vision to "Back To Love" to record a more appropriate song for a 10 yr old to sing, per her mother's request. I agree with your observation.

Angelina always makes your day, no matter what age, no matter which song 😀

I believe that two of the biggest influences. with regard to Angelina's jazz approach in her vocals, has to be Billie Holiday and Amy Winehouse. Both, at opposite ends of the jazz spectrum, redefined jazz singing in ways that were never heard before. 'Breathy' Billie and 'raw' Amy are just so much a part of Angelina's sound which is unique onto itself.

Outstanding reaction and comments Samantha. This was great and appreciate your love for this beautiful young super talented brilliant human being. Very much enjoyed this reaction and thank you for encouraging your viewers to support Angelina. Cheers, have a great week, stay safe, stay healthy.

Sam, did you notice Angelina's reference to being "high" in her lyrics? This is the main clue that she is talking to Amy Winehouse in her lyrics. Here are her lyrics and I have put /// at the beginning and end /// of the words that show she is addressing Amy: Angelina Jordan - Back to Black Lyrics I have (INDISTINGUISHABLE) by your love Crazy you say, am I? I laugh, I cry, I love ///My eyes See well others, I cry With strangers you are high I'm alone and with no one, I cry I'm thinking of you and I cry In loneliness behind this lie/// From this fun part of life Every night become a stars and I leave the stars Shame they get it's so a far I'm the one who speaks to the moon I didn't want to be in love I fall back to, I fall back in I fall back in Ohhh I love you so I laught at you I have no warn, but the wind I had gone away so many times Just to fall and back to life or love with you again I'm the one who speaks to the moon I didn't want to be in love I fall back to, I fall back in I'm the one who speaks to the moon I didn't want to be in love I fall back to, I fall back in I fall back in (Laught) I still laughing I still loving (I'm the one who speaks to the moon I didn't want to be in love I fall back to, I fall back in) Love

By age 10 AJ had reached an insane level of voice mastery. This is most likely before her voice began changing, something that she has Handled seemingly without issue. An extended video shows her tweaking the new lyrics in the car ride to the auditorium so she is reading them as she sings. This was the 2nd take since she was not happy with the 1st!

Sweet reaction... 2016 was a vintage year for Angelina: "Back to Black", "Feeling Good" and "I'm Still Holding Out For You". Then 2017 allowed us the Proysenfestavelen music festival in Norway, which produced 14 great songs; including "Cry me a River", Diamonds are Forever" and "When we Were Young". The jazz band backing her up is very strong.

Remember.. she is helped by some of the best musicians in Norway here. KORK is insane

Samantha, Angelina is more than a singer. She is the complete package.

Great voice ,nicely done. I'm a hillbilly bluegrass country boy home free type, but I enjoy all types of music. I did listen to all of this song I thought it was very sweet I enjoyed t.Thankyou for opening this door for me.Have a great weekend

Some commenters have said this is an easy song to perform because of its small range. Just the opposite. The long and complex phrases are very difficult to maintain. Her control as always is amazing, as well as her intonation. Love your reaction. Looking forward to MM.

she also did Valery at 10 but at Venice Beach (a suburb of LA) she was there to perform at a celebrity benefit concert she was escorted there by Gene Simmons(KISS). she also sang Rehab only revising the lyrics much more than Back to Black

I'm as amazed as you Samantha! AJ accomplishes the Impossible on a regular basis!

That was a beautiful reaction Samantha.I couldn't agree more with all you said.Angelina and her art are inseparable,she pours herself into it with all her heart and that is why we are touched so deeply.

Angelina’s parents didn’t want her to sing the original as there’s reference to suicide so Angelina completed the lyrics in the car on the way to the studio, absolutely amazing version of this she is a musical genius!

Amazing! Beautiful!

Heavenly! Absolutely magical!!!!! Speechless!!!!Out this Wold!!!!!

:-)) Love your reaction and AJ :-))

Angelina 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

❤❤❤❤ Ангелина ❤❤❤❤

J Childs Samantha, your reaction as to how such a young child can elicit so much emotion from you, as she does so many others, stems, I believe, from her ability to broadcast her emotions to her listeners. Simply put we feel what she's feeling as she sings in her "happy place."

Nice reaction 🍁

Hi Sam, her mom told her, that the lyrics were NOT age appropriate for a ten yo. So, AJ had to rewrite the complete song in 24 hours (she still wrote on it on the way to the studio). She had to rewrite it in a way, that the musicians didn´t have to change a single note. Impressive. You and yours stay safe and sound, German Greetings.

Here are some historical videos that you may get a flavor for how Angelina grew up and has now become one of the great young singers that the world has ever seen: ---- Angelina When 3-Years Old in US This is a short video of Angelina in the US when only 3-years old. She had been to DisneyLand so this was in Los Angeles. A nice lady holds her hand and helps her walk thru part of the store where the video was taken: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A2nuIAqlEdQ.html ---- Angelina Playing with Her Friends in 2013 When Angelina was 6-years old.

Angelina's diary/notebooks written as a 6-year old were made into a book by her. Angelina book "Mellom to hjerter" (Between Two Hearts) was published in November 2015 when Angelina was 9 years-old and she became youngest published author in Norway. Angelina's maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani (herself a famous Iranian contemporary writer, poet and painter who was also a child prodigy), illustrated the book. A 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 the 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 ---- Angelina Jordan Interviewed by Anne Lindmo, NRK TV "Lindmo" Show - November 2015 - Make Sure CC Clicked for English Subtitles When Angelina was 9-years old.

During the interview Angelina describes her meeting the little Middle Eastern girl and giving the girl her sea green ankle boots. Angelina then reads some of her diary that would become a part of her book. It is impressive how well the writing is and Angelina wrote this as a 6-year old. We can only hope that our US school system could teach our 6-years old to write so eloquently: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--cCLDY0CSZ8.html After the interview with Anne Lindmo, the 9-year old Angelina sings a short cover of "Unchained Melody" in the style of Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers, who many consider the gold standard for the song. Be prepared to have your mind blown when Angelina goes into high head voice like Bobby did, and nails it, live on TV: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wPfMzMeBLbo.html ---- Homeschooling of Angelina Backstage CBS Studio in USA in 2015 When Angelina was 9-years old.

She said that song 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 After the interview, Angelina sang her song Shield that was self-published.

She then sung her unique cover of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. The interview occurs before the finals show while walking outside in The Grove (retail and entertainment complex) in Los Angeles that is located on parts of the historic Farmers Market. In it Angelina tells that her family supports her in her music and at the end you see Juliette, Angelina's little sister: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2TAqJdJSogw.html

My only qualification for having an opinion on Angelina's performances is not being tone-deaf. The experts can do the nuts-and-bolts analysis, and I'll enjoy that. What impresses me the most is how Angelina has always come across as an unpretentious girl that usually gives a shy little smile and a wave before the music starts - and then she enters an entirely separate musical world. The best part: She seems to be able to take the hand of the audience and bring them along for the journey. What a gift! Then, when the music stops, she quietly transforms back to being an unpretentious that usually gives a shy little smile and a wave...

Check out the cello player in the back ground when she starts singing. I think he’s a fan!

Angelina’s mom felt the original lyrics were not age appropriate. Angelina edited the lyrics the day before this session. During the performance you can see Angelina place her edited version of the lyrics in front of her as she is singing.

Sam, loved your reaction. You said several times that you were not expecting that performance but I don't think you ever said why. What were you expecting?

Our barefoot princess is a vocal chameleon whom has no equal.

I had to laugh when it said the lyrics were not age appropriate for AJ , some of the lyrics to this song are not appropriate for any age as originally written .but AJ modified lyrics makes it great to listen to .enjoyed your reaction thumbs up to you 👍

❤❤❤❤❤

Every time she brings tears in my eyes cause it is so beautiful. Angelina Jordan ASTAR (the name says it all), this young norwegian genius is imo the best singer on the planet! I am 69 y old and have never heard a singer like her in my whole life.

Angelina is a little Amy Winehouse 🤩

Samantha Angelina dropped her cover of suspicious minds by Elvis Presley ❤

She had quite a few milestone songs at 10

The girl with 1000 voices

she was 10 and her mother said back to black was to dark and angelina then the words that she is singing now

10Yr years old.

AJ's acapella open for Bohemian Rhapsody demonstrates "perfect pitch" which carries to he rehearsal of "At Last" in the video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VU_dbECo_5g.html . You will see her get irritated with the band's inability to maintain her desired tempo and stay in tune. She makes the band do it over three times to get it right. You will see who is in control... an 8-year old! lol.

Sorry, Sam, this was the second take of this song, THE SECOND TAKE, what a catastrophe, 😄, AJ was miffed. There is a video from behind the scenes. She, AJ, had erred, how absolutely embarrassing. As a perfectionist, AJ can forgive others, but not so easily herself.

Hi Samantha after I watched your reaction to angelina jordens million miles I wanted to give you a big hug and tell you everything will be OK however you should react to her cover of Whitney Houston I have nothing it really amazing you won't be sorry on this one xx

Thank you for another heartfelt reaction to my favourite singer. She also rewrote another of Amy's songs - Rehab. It is a MUST for your attention. Here is the link.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4uuysznSevE.html

There is another video showing a longer version she is changing the lyrics in the car because her mom would not let her sing the original because it was not age appropriate and if she didn't change it, she couldn't record it. She had to do it without changing the music because it was already set with the band. She was not happy with the first take and you could tell she didn't like it,, even at her young age she is well known for doing everything in one take, She felt she messed up one of her own transitions and wanted to redo it,, this is the second take.. she is 10years old here

02:55 Ok... Shut the Mother Father Front Door. What business does a child have to be singing like that? God, I'm so bummed out by my life decisions 😄 Seriously though, this girl can SANG.

Amy Winehouse sang that and Angelina's voice is like hers

If you have a chance..please do a reaction to the music of LUCY THOMAS

React One Sweet Day - Gabriel Henrique (Cover Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men)

I'm a super-fan ,how did you like it?

When you're a 10 year old genius, it's not that difficult to improvise.

Amy’s is “R” rated version so it would be inappropriate for her to sing those words at her age. I think her parents have input on what she sings.

I can't figure whether that chloe she is trying to keep up with her or she is trying to keep up with it, at 10.

Te only thing I will say is this: Amy was a freaking powerhouse. AJ is at least ten times better. No way would I say anything negative about Amy because she was absolutely spectacular,,,,,,,open your ears and know....THIS woman is the best ever!

Norwegian studio radio band That she’s 12 and this one

Please do the most meaningfull reaction of your life. 2000mules Get us out of the mess we are in ATM!
