Angelina has an amazing musical signature. This is something you are blessed with from birth. She has it in spades. Her version blows many other versions out of the water. The other thing that amazes me about her, is her ability to make each song and absolute stellar performance. Her ability to capture your attention, mind body and soul is absolutely awesome. I cant think of anyone who fits the bill. Dont get me wrong there are many great artists but i cant think of anyone that has her sound....her nuances...her incredible interpretations of songs....Im so looking forward to her doing great songs that wont be covers..but will be either her original material...or songs written for her by great songwriters....I can hardly wait...Its so exciting to find this absolute diamond.....thank you Adam
It's crazy how every cover she does ruins the original for me. Every time. I listen to her covers over and over and never tire of them. She is just an amazing story teller.
Our little Angelina has grown into a statuesque beauty. I just had to put that in there due your comment. I would add to the praise for her voice and artistry, she is beyond comparisons, even to my other favorites. I can't wait to see her in concert here, once Republic puts her next album out and tours are possible.
I put this on pause and brought up Sinatra, Bublé, Streisand, Fitzgerald and Vaughan's version of this song to compare it to AJ version, and none of them moved me like this version. It is so hard to comprehend that Angelina from 7 to 16 is the greatest story telling being in my 74 years of experiencing great vocalist and I can't wait for the rest of the story.
I did the same thing I pulled up Judy Garland Frank Sinatra Barbra Streisand an Ella Fitzgerald and Ella Fitzgerald was the only one that was even in the same area code!!! Angelina was still the best by far.
Larry, Sarah Vaughn, is the single GREATEST female voice of the 20th century...that being said, Angelina moved me more as well. I didn't get to hear Charlie Parker,Miles Davis,John Coltrane, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughn, Betty Carter, Frank Sinatra or Ella...but I'm damn sure not going to miss my opportunity to hear, Angelina.
Spot on, Adam, what Angelina does with this song is pure magic. Everybody & their brother has covered this song & I just love it, but as far as I'm concerned, this is the best version I've ever heard, by anyone, EVER! The timing, control, dynamics, everything was, as you said, "a work of art." Damn, that girl can "sang."
Angelina applies her jazz style and superior vocal range to the song, but she brings into play the 'breathy', 'sensual' releases she learned from Billie Holiday. Then she adds the 'raw' inflections like 'slurring' and changing 'key' in mid-sentence that Amy Winehouse was known for. The result is an intricate, complex presentation that sounds like three superstar jazz singers are performing the song. Have never heard another singer duplicate this 'vocal chameleon' ability she possesses to bring in vocal sound and style by other singers anytime she wants to. Also, she just looks like a 'Persian Princess' with penetrating eyes and beautiful long hair that just makes me melt.
Nice job, Adam. It is impossible to describe Angelina's vocal artistry as she seamlessly and effortlessly moves from light to heavy, from laid back to intense, and from breathy to belt, and then back again. It is as though she can, with her voice, drive a nail with a feather or dance a hippopotamus on the head of a pin. She simply does what others either can't or never try.
This is my 59th time listening to this MASTERPIECE and each time I experience a new level of perfection by our ethereal prodigy extraordinaire, Angelina Jordan. When you listen to the A cappella portions of this performance you are truly experiencing the genius of Angelina Jordan’s PERFECT PITCH. Sinatra, rest in peace Angelina Jordan, the Bare Foot Queen has taken the crown and there is nothing like her in the universe.
Wow, Your reaction was so uplifting and a joy to hear....again. No more I can say but all the comments below says more than I can say...I.m 81 and following A J for over 6 years....She is a wow, I have kids and grandkids and watching then and Angelina grow up is a trip.......Thank you Adam...thank you
Well Adam, this is pure Master Class vocals from the 16 year old young lady. A new standard is now created for how this song should be sung...for eternity. Never ever heard a more beautiful version of this song in my very long lifetime. Thanks for sharing and supporting this super talented beautiful young lady.
Imagine this masterfully performed rendition of a jazz classic being sung by a 16 year old girl! Just perfectly executed whit finess, sofisricatin, sensuality, musical dramaturgi and all the other superlatives the dictionary has to offer. Guessing how good she will be at 26 yo, if and when her development continues in the same pace it has done until now, is just not possible. I can't wait for her albums begin to drop. I really would like a crooner album from Angelina. In addition to originals of course. We are a lucky few who get to go to Angelina Jordan conserts in Norway this summer. I can't wait, but I just have to. At least I got the ticket. Great reaction and all your comments are, as usual, on point.
This song gives me chills every time around: it so smooth and it delicately dances around with the occasional push of force, true to the song it makes me smile with my heart. Her artistry still grows and develops at an incredible rate. She just gets better and better. She takes us back to an older time when my parents were still young, TV were paper sized and B&W and people danced on TV.
This is the best rendition of My Funny Valentine that I've ever heard of and still can't get enough of it... Angelina Jordan has turned into a goddess of beauty and her voice is so hypnotic, soothing, and so captivating. I can't wait to see her perform live on her July 10th concert in Sandefjord, Norway. I just bought 2 tickets for my sister and me...my sister and I have just retired, so we are treating ourselves with unforgettable experience. We'll see you AJ and your "angels" in July. God willing.
I loved her rendition as well. The video would have been nicer to see her just sing instead of shop! (LOL) She is singing the standards and setting her standard within them. Bravo.
I cannot believe how beautiful Angelina is I think in addition to being a singer she could be a model if she wanted to I miss your reaction and I always enjoy them
Loved your thumb Adam. I know I'm in the minority on this but I never cared for this song that much... ...until this cover. It took on a whole new aura. What an interpretation! I'm stunned every time I hear it. Best wishes young sir!!
Great to see you back. I was interested in hearing your reaction to this one. This performance just moved every other of hers back to second place(it’s a tie). Angelina has completely outdone herself with this arrangement and delivery of this classic song. In my 72 years of hearing the very best singers who have ever lived no one of them can touch this. Sorry my opinion is so wishy-washy, but I mean it! Good Lord this is beautiful.
I am always amazed that this young lady still shocks me even though l have listened to so many of her songs and performances. I am not saying anything new but clearly we are dealing with a professional artist who exercises perfect control with an incredible range of nuances and is at the top of her game.
A very powerful reaction to a most beautiful rendition of an old classic. In the words of Khalil Gibran: "We are here only to discover beauty, all else is a form of waiting". Well, in truth the waiting is over for me. Thank you Adam and much love from Denmark.
👣 This is Angelinas moon walk. This might very well be her new standard song, along side "Fly me to the moon", or even her standard encore. At least I would work hard to get her back on stage for this one (+ a "few" others). Thanks Adam. As always 👍😃
I've been hoping you would check this one out, Adam! IMO, this is yet another one her her masterpiece performances. In true Angelina style, she adds her own little flavors to this classic song, and makes it into something new and fresh.
Thank you, Adam. You've been missed, my friend. ☺ I knew you'd love this magical masterpiece from Angelina! This is certainly another one of my favorites from AJ. Yes, she can sing pretty much anything, in any genre, but like you said, this specific time period - her voice and technique are so beautifully matched to it, and she produces unexplainable, emotional, perfection anew. Loved your reaction (as always). Welcome back! Ciao!! ✨✨
@@AdamStraughan Just Totally Fantastic Adam!!!! Outstanding + your Emotional Details are very Refreshing / Glad U feel Better and U care 4 Ms. Angilina Jordan the Way Do!!! Super Kind Here!!! DD. "Thank U / Thank U - Sir!!!" Thank U Ms. Jordan - Astar Family...
She sang this same song when she was 10 years old the growth in her voice is so magical Angelina makes you feel every lyric she sings that’s astounding for a girl her age can’t wait to see what’s to come
Great reaction Adam! Yes, it is mesmerizing in how many vocal techniques Angelina is already a master in and how much emotion she can deliver by delicately combining bits from her musical repertoire. I am happy and grateful that we live in an era to witness the rise of such great artists (and personalities) like Angelina and Aurora.
Hi Adam😍Lovely to see you back. I loved your reaction, as always. I am so agree in everything you say. I am sitting here smiling about Angelina, about you, and I am smiling because for me it is so wonderful to be able to share these moments with you and every other Angelina fan😍My english isn't the best, so it is difficult to express how I feel. But it is so nice to have this comunity where we can share our love and admiration for our barefoot princess💗 Here she is in her right element, I love her jazz singing. I have listen to this song over and over again the last couple of weeks, and every single time I play it I hear a new detail in her voice and I get goosebumps. She just lights up the day✨Hugs to everyone from a huge Angelina fan, to another❤️
A meditation, isn't it. Piece of art... well said... Combination of that amazing voice with that decent dance on this clip in this adequate enviroment by this teenage selfie modus... 😉 ingenious.... great art.
Good to have you back Adam. There have been many great versions of this classic song, but for me this topped them all. Sheer perfection, chock full of beautiful little surprises. I didn't think she could exceed my expectations after following her all these years, but she did. We have been predicting that she was going to be great, but I swear she is going beyond that. In this genre of music I can't think of anyone else in her class, maybe Frank Sinatra. You mentioned her runs, if you are looking for a real mind-blower, listen to her Instagram cover of House of the Rising Sun, accompanying herself on electric guitar, apparently at 5AM. It's just a taste, less than two minutes but pay close attention to the last 30 seconds, she goes on an improvised run that will melt your soul. Transcribed to RU-vid for us thanks to Rusty Shackleford ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wPMjaGzpIKo.html I would love it if you do it as a reaction so we can see your reaction and hear your thoughts.
Great reaction. Thanks for another wonderful Angelina reaction. I'd love to see your reaction to one that I can't believe you haven't done yet which is her live performance of "Cry me a River" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jV8HIVL2VDE.html. It is Angelina at her Jazz Lounge Singer best. It is an absolutely beautiful, sultry smooth, jazz performance with a pretty cool trombone solo in the middle.
Hi Adam it’s great to see that you are okay and I am sorry that I missed your reaction to Angelina singing my funny Valentine.Your reaction was brilliant and you always find the right words to describe this phenomenal artist. I think that Angelina excelled herself with this song and her performance was absolutely exemplary. Thank you for a really lovely reaction and I totally enjoyed it
One thing about Angelina that many lack .... You will always FEEL her heart and passion for music in everything she does. She has made a dramatic turn in the past several months, this piece takes me back to the "Rat Pack" days when "Singers sang" When one could sit and listen to the beauty of the voice. If I am not mistaken this was a Sinatra cover sooo ya might wanna add his works to the list of.... "No one sings _______ like Angelina". (actually, she pays homage to the original artist but at the same time recreates the work in her own style) She will definitely be remembered in the vocal/music industry for many many many years to come. She is a PURE artist. This was a Masterful piece from a very classy young woman.
Nice reaction Adam! As you say, Angelina brings her full vocal armoury to bear on this song - and boy, what a result. I've heard more than twenty versions of this song; and this performance outflanks all of them. Certainly, this is one of AJ's top five performances.
The more I hear this version I can't believe what I am hearing , she has always been off the scale but this is beyond the parameters of the scale! Great to have you back.
Angelina’s video and voice are magic. She is in a daydream where she is a funny valentine. This song is for her. The baroque setting is perfectly romantic and she glides , practically vamping, her was through it.. Then she returns to her present self, stir dreaming. of romance. Her videos are always multilayered. It is magic! Thank you Angelina.
She is such a great pure raw talent. I love her breathyness and the special little growls she puts into the song. What will she sound like when she is 30?!!!
hi Adam just a reminder - she will give a few concerts in Norway me i am there at her July 10 one would be nice to see you there greetings from Germany
Thank Adam for that awesome reaction & great comments too. If you go back to Angie when she was 10 singing this song & she did it differently, it was awesome also. They're are 2 favorite versions of the song. Here's the link. “My Funny Valentine” from musical Babes in arms- 2/14/16 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sZ25H4a2gPI.html She’s 10 with no mic & just sitting on chair singing for Mery her grandma who’s filming her. Angie does a great interpretation of this difficult song to interpret from 1937, (warning Cute factor at the end) Angie is like a 2006 Bordeux in the Meroc but we’ll say Norway =) Her voice still wont fully mature for another 10-15 years. Then it can be opened. WOW , the aroma, color, texture & than we get to taste/hear it.😄 =) These are all (Angie’s channels) so far.

Her run is always tasteful, never doing it for the sake of doing it...but to interpret the lyrics n a feeling...all so naturally n effortlessly. This feels like her song now. Tq for your reaction.
I'm happy to see you again, Adam and thanks for this fantastic reaction. This is the latest treat that Angelina gives us, recorded and sung in the purest Angelina Style (one of many 😅). Please, take a look at her other posts on TikTok (or Instagram), in recent months she has posted small parts of different performances, almost all a cappella, alone in front of the phone and they are songs by Duffy, LP, Adele, Drake, Richie, Smith, Sting, Styles but they are absolutely fantastic for the passion she manages to convey from her voice. 💛 🧡 ❤️
Angelina's head voice and fault settle have improved so much as she has aged, Is reaching a new climax here... I have never ever really liked This song until now other than a portion of it which was done on American idol by Casey Bishop a year ago... Angelina Jordan now owns this song.
