This cover is glorious, it lets her voice absolutely shine. Thanks to Toby for asking AJ to sing this reinvented cover of his song for his Piano Diaries album. Toby is quoted saying, “Working with Angelina has been nothing short of inspiring. Her ability to channel profound emotion through her voice adds a whole new depth to the song.” They are also working on other songs for AJ. This will be huge for her. After 16 years of practice Angelina is all grown up and has now arrived. Please subscribe to AJ's channel - she deserves it. And don't forget Toby Gad as well.
I don't think the song is saying she would rather be a boy, but that her feminine nature would make the boy so much better. Angelina would make anybody bettert.
Nice to have you back with Angelina! Great reaction 🙂 Now go to James Thiel's channel and find the original that Toby (on the piano here) and Angelina wrote, called "Bad Valentine". That one is a straight up winner, or as you would call it, a 20 out of 10. You have NEVER heard Angelina like that. And you know why I can be so sure ?? Because I haven't 😉 And I have heard every note she has ever sung from when she was 7. When that song releases later this summer, it will be Angelina's time. It has all the ingredients to make it on to the charts. Fingers crossed 🙂 Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
Toby Gad, and AJ have written a new song!**** The collaboration between Toby Gad and Angelina Jordan has sparked excitement with the announcement of their new original song "Bad Valentine." The anticipation for its release is high, especially after their recent performance at the Hotel Cafe. While the exact release date has not been officially announced, fans eagerly await the new material, which promises to showcase Jordan's unique vocal talents alongside Gad's renowned songwriting skills. Their previous work together, coupled with Jordan's powerful rendition of "If I Were a Boy," suggests that "Bad Valentine" will be another significant addition to her growing repertoire. The music community is abuzz with speculation and enthusiasm for this upcoming release.
If I Were A Boy Angelina Jordan's rise in the music industry is a testament to her exceptional talent and unique voice. From a young age, she has captivated audiences with her soulful performances and mature musical understanding. Her ability to connect with listeners and deliver performances with emotional depth is unparalleled. As she continues to grow as an artist, her influence extends beyond the charts, inspiring a new generation of musicians and music lovers alike. With each performance, she reaffirms her status as a prodigious talent in the world of music. AJ' s ability to imbue each song with deep emotion and her own distinctive style makes her a sought-after artist for songwriters and composers. Having a song performed by her can be seen as a mark of prestige, potentially elevating the song's reach and impact. It's a testament to her talent that songwriters might feel that having her interpret their work would bring a new level of recognition and appreciation to their music. Beyonce' version of "If I Were A Boy" was good, but AJ's version gives one chills and causes us to cry, not sad tears but happy emotional tears of joy. This is no longer a Beyonce song; it now belongs to AJ who can take any song and give it meaning.
Not only has Angelina kept her incredibly soulful tone, her voice is getting stronger and better. She is at her story telling best here. Angelina's Official RU-vid channel is approaching one million subscribers. We know she should have a few million after her first 10 years but so many people don't know how important it is to subscribe. It is FREE and helps Angelina a lot. Please also help Wolli reach 30k subscribers so he will react to Angelina more often.
Nice reaction, thanks Wolli. You freeze ... endlessly listening to her wonderful and powerful voice with her incredible low register and admiring her fantastic musical sensitivity, even the simplest song that passes through her hands becomes fantastic. She is simply unique and with a wonderful melodic perception. This interpretation (not a cover for me) with one of the authors of the song (Toby Gad) playing the piano, is curative for the your soul and the soft background accompaniment of the piano and cello give her a beautiful silky backdrop, until that wonderful whispered final phrase "... but you are just a boy".💛🧡❤

Nice reaction! On the piano is the co-writer of the song, Toby Gad. Just to let you know, the other co-writer of the song, BC Jean, was the first to sing the song as well as the person the song came from. The man that she was in love with had just broken up with her. Per Toby, he played it for Beyonce one day and she really wanted to sing and use this song, and the rest you say is history. Angelina and Toby have been working together for a while now and are creating new music for her to sing. Toby okayed the release of an unreleased song with Angelina called Bad Valentine and it is a BANGER! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yTjzhPSVguc.html This collaboration is awesome! The Piano Diaries is Toby's project of other singers singing his most famous songs. Angelina of course is singing this song made famous by Beyonce. There is actually an official music video for If I Were A Boy on her official RU-vid Channel. The music is a bit different, more commercial and pop sounding, but still great. You should see it to hear the difference! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_rJ-HlsTsyM.html Who is Toby Gad? Gad is a German music producer and songwriter based in Los Angeles. He is known for co-writing songs including John Legend's biggest hit, "All of Me", the fifth-highest certified single in RIAA history, and for co-writing and producing "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie and "If I Were a Boy" by Beyoncé. Other notable works include "Skyscraper" for Demi Lovato, "Who You Are" for Jessie J, "Untouched" for The Veronicas, "A Year Without Rain" for Selena Gomez & the Scene, "Don't Hold Your Breath" for Nicole Scherzinger, "Love You More" for JLS, and "I Do" for Colbie Caillat.
This song was written by Toby Gad and Beyonce made it famous. Toby Gad is rearranging his hits with new artists as part of his Piano Diaries project, Wolli. Next, her new original with Toby Gad, "Bad Valentine," Not officially released yet, but permission has been given for her recent live performance of it to be shared. That is BAD VALENTINE.
---- Toby Gad is on the piano, and he is the co-writer of the song with BC Jean. Toby says they were in New York working together, and were going out for pizza when BC mentioned how she was having a tough breakup with her then boyfriend. BC then described how she would be as a boy and Toby stopped and said forget the pizza, let us go back to the studio to write a song about what you just said. Toby played the song for Beyoncé and she liked it, and then covered it complete with a music video that now has over 600 million views. It became a hit and eventually resulted in Toby winning a Grammy for Best Contemporary R&B Album. The song was on I Am... Sasha Fierce, the third studio album by Beyoncé that went 6x Platinum. Also, this song was the first time that Beyoncé had collaborated with Toby (and BC Jean) ---- On May 16th at The Hotel Café in LA, Toby was performing on the 11 PM Jesse & Friends show and invited Angelina to join him for a few impromptu performances. The Hotel Café is a small ~200-seat venue, but is quite famous as they have hosted early career performances by Adele, Katy Perry, The Lumineers, Billie Eilish, Ed Sheeran, Leon Bridges, Mumford and Sons, Sara Bareilles, and many others. The Hotel Café has been labeled a break out room for many independent artists. The Jesse & Friends show highlights songwriters and up-and-coming artists. Fortunately for us, this particular Jesse & Friends show happened to be the very first one that was livestreamed with the audio taken direct from the soundboard ---- Angelina started out the brief set by singing her version of If I Were A Boy, that you just reacted to in the official Piano Diaries video release ---- Next, Toby said that he and Angelina were working on some new material together, and that the next song performed by Angelina was one of the fruits of their labor, and would be officially released in a few months. He described the song as being about one's worse Valentine ---- Bad Valentine. This was the first time the song had ever been publicly performed, and it was livestreamed to boot. There was at least one bootlegged mobile phone recording of the song published on RU-vid. Best not to review that video as it is not officially sanctioned ---- However, one of Angelina's dedicated fans, Jim Thiel, recorded the livestream performance of the song, and as he did for many of the Las Vegas performances of Angelina, he did some editing to put together a great video of the performance. Jim then proceeded to contact Toby Gad (and presumably Angelina's people) to ask for permission to publish his video on RU-vid. Well low-and-behold, Toby got back to Jim indicating that he liked the video and that he would give permission for Jim to publish the video on RU-vid! ----- Bad Valentine is a BANGER! Get ready to repair your roof as it is about to be figuratively blown off. One reactor was speechless after hearing this performance: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yTjzhPSVguc.html
This song was written by BC Jean and Toby Gad. Originally performed by BC Jean and then by Beyounce who made it famous. Here Angelina performs it with Toby Gad playing the piano. They are currently working on some new material to be published later this year.
AJ in all her glory elevating a pop song into a masterpiece she has continually got better and better since she was a tot she is in her own league what a voice , our Barefoot Goddess of Music now 💜💜💜👣💜💜💜
This was great but her new song with Toby is full of soul, sass and power. Its called Bad Valentine and you can find it on James Thiel 's channel. Cant wait to see that reaction!!!
20 out of 10 for sure. 😮. Such a different take on the story, so good at telling it. Appealing to our empathy easy peasy here. We're all just a boy like never before, for a few minutes at a time, every time, I'm sure. I think she's locked right in these days. Gonna really smack us around. I think we were all stupid excited to feel like we know Angie the woman as we go here. Feels like that ain't gonna take till she's 23 or nothing. She feels real big. 😍🤩.
A cover only in the sense that what Beyoncé made was a cover of the song written by BC Jean and Toby Gad, originally performed by Jean in 2008. Beyoncé's cover was that same year. In this video the pianist is Toby Gad .. the Piano Diaries are a celebration of his hit songs. He invited Angelina to England with him to perform .. this is the sixth version I have heard. I am not sure if it is really a cover when a singer is standing next to the composer as they jam to create a different version of the song. Wikipedia: Tobias "Toby" Gad (born 28 March 1968) is a German music producer and songwriter based in Los Angeles. He is known for co-writing songs including John Legend's biggest hit, "All of Me", the fifth-highest certified single in RIAA history, and for co-writing and producing "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie and "If I Were a Boy" by Beyoncé. Other notable works include "Skyscraper" for Demi Lovato, "Who You Are" for Jessie J, "Untouched" for The Veronicas, "A Year Without Rain" for Selena Gomez & the Scene, "Don't Hold Your Breath" for Nicole Scherzinger, "Love You More" for JLS, and "I Do" for Colbie Caillat. In the third quarter of 2014, Gad was ranked the #3 songwriter in America by Billboard, behind Ryan Tedder and Pharrell Williams.
