She opened up the words and, thus, the story. Back in the day, my kids and I danced to this song for a decade. And now the story is there and fresh, and powerful. I love, love, love this. That low "baby"...... 💜
OMG Adam, did you ever think in your wildest imagination that this 1983 Iconic song by MJ could be arranged into a jazz/blues masterpiece as we just witnessed. I no longer have any words for this young lady, other than PURE MUSIC GENIUS!! Music is finally in good hands with this young lady, like we have not seen in decades. Thank you for supporting this young lady on your channel.
we are talking about MJ's Billie Jean here, probably one of the most iconic songs in contemporary time. but fearless AJ takes on this song and made it her own. She puts in so many of her unique vocal goodness that makes this cover mesmerizing every second. the more I listen, the more I love it. Really, ordinary singers wouldn't come up with this kind of unique cover.
You are so awesome, ANGELINA is so fortunate to have you.. I loved it as well. Your description of what ANGELINA is all about is so,right non.. thank you great reaction
Angelina gets us from the first notes right through to the end with a totally beautiful rendition. It was totally perfection and the way she made this iconic song her own is incredible. I don’t know if anybody else would have taken on this song and do such a phenomenal job. Angelina’s voice is an incredible instrument with total precision. Thank you Adam your reactions are always very enjoyable
This is a Star Gate Studio's Project... They are the Grand Masters of Video Development & Production... Miss. Jordan has been with them since the later beginnings / earlier in her Career. They have Offices in LA and in Norway... DD.
OMG what a performence you said it she like telling you a story very relaxed smooth her voice is like liquid gold, she does bring old songs and make them new versions wow tremondeslly amazing, loved it. Thank you for your reaction
I always love the atmosphere you build around Angelina.. Thank you for jumping on this right away. I absolutely love what she's done here and the more I listen the more I appreciate and marvel at what she's capable of. Thanks again Adam😇💞💞💞💞
Agree, this is absolutely amazing interpretation of Billie Jean. The colored rooms swapping, which gives a positive surprise, is this to give a motion as Michel dancing?
All of this exceptional talent and brilliance coming from a uniquely gifted fifteen year old young woman whom happens to already be an elite master level talent. Her instincts and her hyper sensitivity to interpret the emotion the lyrics call for is unmatched. We are witnessing a bona fide musical genius at work.
Wow - another incredible Angelina Jordan performance! Kudos to you Adam for reacting to this one quickly & for explaining the jazz nuances in a way that even us non-musicians can understand & appreciate. Thank you for another great reaction.
Great reaction, Adam! This time Angelina has really reinvented beauty, color, voice, style and created a little jewel. This girl has an absolutely unique talent and taste and she is not afraid of anything, there are no impossible songs for her, however she will find a way to transform them with extraordinary intelligence. This is absolutely an exceptional and unique overhaul. 💛 💜 ❤️
People look down on the music called “pop”. Inasmuch as “pop” semantically is a short form of “popular”, I am convinced that Angelina’s beautiful, creative voice will transform jazz into becoming “popular”! How can you not like this?! 💛💜❤️
Adam, besides the jazzy and bluesy elements (backphrasing, negative space, rythm) I feel a touch of bossa nova in this performance,especially when she hums. Is it just my imagination?
Her phrasing is so right on, Frank Sinatra is snapping his fingers in Jazz Heaven. A lot of us have been saying we want her to continue her jazz stylings far into her career.
Angelina is just simply amazing. She showing such good control I’m waiting for to belt but she’s keeping it jazzy. Thanks Adam great job as usual Take care and God Bless From Joey from the Bronx
Awesome reaction Adam! Love your comments and analysis and the attention to detail- not many have noticed or talked about the objects in the sets and the possible meaning behind it all. Really appreciate your take on all of it. i too love this cover by Angelina and am so excited to see where her journey takes her and us, next!!
This is my favorite Angelina groove. I hope she stays with it. I don't know who the pianist is, but it is so important to the mood of the song. There is urgency in that steady beat that creates an underlying tension. I can't explain it. It is just magical, the whole video, and Angelina's voice can leave one breathless. What a brilliant performance!
Beautiful reaction to this new Angelina cover gem. Thanks, Adam 😊 I too really love how chilled, relaxed and confident she delivers her jazzy AJ version of this MJ pop classic.
What a wonderful reaction again! Some people already stated that they actually realize now what the text is about. Even when she sometimes has a "lazy" (but musical) way of pronunciation! That is thanks to her storytelling skills as you mentioned! Sooo cool! And her voice ... butter in a frying pan ... Love it!
Angelina is fabulous, and this is the best cover I've ever heard of MJ's iconic song, I whole heartedly agree to everything good that has been said. One thing that I find funny is that it's the first time I really listened to the lyrics of the song, and that has a lot to do with the way she sings it and totally captures my attention. It's the first time I watch your reactions and I really liked it, you've got a new subscriber.
Great reaction Adam! There is so much going on here, yes the visuals have much to contribute. I don't know the technical terms, but the contrasting colours rapidly switching could be like the 'staccato' like moves of MJ's dancing? The vocals are really stunning, Angelina can hum like no other!
Master Class! Fearless! Grammy Material?... Just sayin,,,! Adam I love your reactions! You are one of my Favorite reactors. Your analysis is always spot on. Well done. Keep it up.

@@douglasdennett4583 hi Douglas, thank you for your lovely kind message and it was great to hear from you. I did listen to Autumn leafs again as you suggested, a truly awesome song, which I love dearly. The video you are referring to where Angelina sings at last wearing pink trousers & white top, I watched it today on Utube and thought it was sensational. It would have been a great privilege to have been there and witnessed her brilliant performance. Thank you for keeping in touch and your messages are greatly appreciated and please take care.
Wooww... Adam, what a beautiful reaction once again. Flooded with detailed observations. The ones striked me were “ the colors in the video refer to the pop era of the original” and “Angelina telling a story directly to the listener in a relaxed chlling setting”. Very well done, I appreciate that. I loved the cover, Angelina surprised us all again as expected ! I think that this cover will make everybody listen to the lyrics more carefully as if they have not ever done before. And Angelina will prove again that if you have the musical talent you can be brave enough to cover an iconic Michael Jackson song with a jazz vibe which in my opinion is a respectful tribute to Michael Jackson and jazz music. It is always a pleasure to listen to your reactions. Take care.
thanks Adam .. I love this! Good to see you again!. She's gutsy and so very "casual" .. love love love it! Love the color play with it also! yay Angelina!!
Hi Adam, I was waiting for your opinion! What courage! What a concept of scenery! What confidence! What a category! I was initially shocked, but every time I hear it...I like it more! 
Loved it!! I noticed the only thing modern in any of the three scenes is a flat-screen monitor to the very left in the yellow room...and of course, the very modern Angelina.
Wonderful reaction Adam. And yet again you remind me why you are my favourite reactor. But I do have to admit I'm here for Angelina, so I haven't seen you in a while :-( Abercrombie & Fitch ?? So you've got superb taste in other than music.... Much love from Norway :-)
I knew you'd love this. Great reaction, but I was surprised you didn't mention the piano as you have mentioned several times that you feel she is at her best with just her and an instrument. Others have noted that they were so enthralled with her voice that they didn't notice the piano.
Adam, imagine what is going to happen when she finishes school next year, and it's full speed ahead...she really is inventing her own genre...she pulls the greatest of the past to the present. She has mastered phrasing ( borrowed from Frank), mastered silent space ( borrowed from Billie) remastered in her own style ,skat and brings this to a generation who hasn't a clue...when the real promotions start it will turn this generation on its ear. This is more than a IMO.
At first sight I itched to have the backing track added that I had in memory from MJ. But a crossover would probably even better, the original doesnt sound as good in reality as I remembered. But now after hearing it several times, I love her take on it as it is. Her vocals are dope anyway. Looking at her tik toks they now sound like training for the song in retrospect I wonder what that says of her latest tiktok where she's singing much softer. I guess we'll see.
Her singing more softly in her latest TIKTOC is getting back to what her older fans like, and approve of. A few of her TICTOC quickies were too loud, and lacked her usual tenderness.
i love this song and aj’s beautiful cover. thank u! 🥰 and please, when u have a minute, those susanne sundfor reactions u promised a few weeks ago 🥺❤️ so many suggestions in your previous reactions, i again suggest the brothel music video (and maybe a live version afterwards, so many reactors are using this format now) and running to the sea music video 🥺💜 or white foxes, or the silicone veil, or delirious, or….. ❤️
I love your reactions, Adam, and especially to Angelina. You really get her uniqueness and your comments illuminate for me aspects of this stellar cover that make me understand why it feels so special. I'm a big MJ fan, so this cover had to climb that hurdle for me and did. I like to think Michael Jackson would be snapping his fingers along to her marvelous cover. Have you reacted to her new video of 7th Heaven? They put her into that jazz club type of setting and it's so perfect for her.
I bet Republic Records are so excited about this amazing young lady they have in their portfolio. I can see them before me, grinning and enjoying this song (and others from AJ) immensely. As do we. Thank you Adam, its always a treat to follow your channel, and your reactions. You are so spot on on all counts 😊
I just went back and watched your very first reaction to Angelina singing "I Put A Spell On You" from July 13, 2020. You really liked her, but had a few reservations about her performance. Over the past year, I have watched all of your 21 reactions to her since then and, just as Angelina has grown into being a tremendous singer, you have grown into being a tremendous RU-vid reactor. Since that first one, your reservations about her have pretty much disappeared and you are now proudly an "Angel" like the rest of us. Thanks for your great work reacting to Angelina. I can't wait until her first album comes out so we all can watch and listen to your reactions to every track!
Hi Adam, thanks for your always interesting reacts. Angelina is growing up in an astonishing way. I dare to say she's already the Queen of current jazz, with classic covers and new approaches to every genre of songs. I love this girl...... Please keep on reacting in your fantastic way. See you in next reacts. Take care. Peace & Hugs from Barcelona - SPAIN. 👍
Hi Adam.I´m a Swedish guy.Just want to say i´m a big fan of Angelina and i think this is a masterpiece simple as that and i don´t think somebody else could have made it.She is an old soul in a young woman´s body. Peace my friend.
I love this cover too, and I really appreciate how intimately you've come to understand and interpret Angelina's unique spin and fearlessness. As a painter, I got caught up in watching the color play, and the colors make perfect sense from that viewpoint. That's no surprise either, because of her own art, and her grandma's expertise as an artist. Still a very Angelina the Brave, surprising style, both visually and vocally. I loved it.
Angelina Jordan has an exceptional and unique voice. All the songs he is sings sound wonderful 🎶🌷🎶 Your evaluated of the song is amazing and very professional 💯 Thank you 🌿
To say I love this I'd an understatement.I would love to be a fly on the wall as various singers,musicians,and producers discuss this.Like her version of Bohemian Rhapsody Angelina has created an alternative version that satisfies.Agreed Adam,this is perfection because Angelina was Angelina during the whole song.
It is unbelievable what Angelina can do with just her voice and a piano or guitar accompanying!! Perfect jazzy masterpiece for a huge pop hit!! Go Angie!!!!
Thanks for this: never heard of her 😳, so now have a new artist to figure out.. strong Amy Winehouse vibes in this song 👍, cover or interpretation.. (not sure which)
This girl changed my entire outlook on music, & brought it back as a major part of my life again after 20 years in the wilderness. She's bringing vocal mastery back to music, no need for digital wizardry with Angie.
@@tom.jacobs enjoy..may I recommend “feelin good” either performance aged 10, “ I Put A spell on You” aged 9..”I’d Rather Go Blond” aged 12..of perhaps start with her four performances on Norway’s Got Talent aged 7/8.. Don’t worry.she’s never really sounded like a child singer..you’ll see ..
You’re so phenomenal in your take and analysis on her performances. Just right on the money. Storytelling is what she’s doing! That explains why I get so drawn in. Can’t stop listening and hearing her message. Thank you for doing Angelina once again!!!
Once again she taps into the Soal of the original writers singers its like goes down into their graves and pulls out their Soal absolutely amazing daunting lost for words
I don't have anything to add... your discussion was spot on. I've always loved that classic jazz pocket she thrives in. I have also enjoyed her occasional excursions into pop, but I hope she keeps this style as her emphasis.
As chill making goosebumb inducing...l quiver to think how incredible it would be live with that cool tone tempo and her ability to scat that she can and does so well. I'm in... Total agreement with your cover of her cover. One can only imagine if not... Dare to Dream. I don't known if I could Love her more than I do, but then knowing what is to could how could I, or we not?
♥️your reactions. Angelina can combine the feeling from a little crowd to a bigger I think. Just because she have the ability to give you the feeling she is just singing for YOU
