Thanks for a very nice, heartfelt reaction to & appreciation of this amazing original song from Angelina - her 1st release after signing with Republic Records. Having lost my wife some years ago, I listen to this song every day. And while it always brings me to tears - afterwards I have an immense feeling of comfort. For me, Angelina's voice has a very personal healing effect. (Best therapy ever :) Looking forward to more of your Angelina reactions. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
When Angelina was a little girl, her japanese grandfather took her with him into Oslo, where he helped the homeless community with food and sometimes a job. The streets of Oslo saw her growing up. When this man knew he was dying, her told Angelina " Stay true to yourself and you will never regret what you do." and "I will be on the Moon, see verything you do. You will NEVER be alone" Today, Angelina honors her grandfathers heritage by helping, very dicreedely, the homeless community in LA. If you buy Angelina´s book "Between Two Hearts" 100% of the proceedings go to children in need. Maria, be safe and healthy. Elmar from Germany
There are three different videos for this song. This one done by Angelina and her grandma with her sister Juliette and Uncle Michael. This one is the good one!
I really liked your reaction, I love Angelina, and I wanted to say what a nice backyard you have, so close to the woods, it is beautiful and the kitty has a perfect place to lay down.
I've been amazed and a huge fan of Angelina's for more than two years now. The fact that she wrote such a totally complete song at fourteen years is a testament to her genius. Shield is another masterpiece by Angelina and she has written other pieces of wonderful music. With a great career ahead we can expect many many more beautiful songs and performances from Angelina Jordan.
Angelina Jordan Astar's sister, Juliette, played the part of young Angelina. Juliette is 6 years her junior. The man in the video is her uncle, Michael Astar. He is his son of Angelina's grandfather. I can only imagine how cathartic this must have been for the 3 of them to take part in together.
You totally got what Angelina was conveying. She wrote it with the loss of her grandfather on her mind but also for everyone who has lost a loved one. Just beautiful!
This IS a very emotional song, and it seems like people feel it with the losses of their own heart. Such a powerful song. It really touches a universal nerve. Yes, she was very close to her grandfather. It is my understanding that he took her with him when he visited the streets of Oslo to care for people in need. He had a role, too, in her exposure to the old classics. As husband to her Grandma Mery, they were very supportive maternal grandparents from day one. Thank you for this reaction. I'm subscribing now after this one. Grandma Ellen, heart in a puddle.
HEY YOUR VIDEO IS BLOCKING THE KITTY!!! 😁 Hahaha...yeah Angelina will absolutely wreck you with everything. Her ear, feel, talent, voice, message, eyes, personality.
Absolutely phenomenal original from our musical genius, Angelina wrote Million Miles as a tribute to her Grandfather who passed away and to anyone who has lost a loved one, their are 4 versions of this song, this musical video was shot by Angelina’s Grandma, and the little girl running having fun in the video is Angelina’s sister Juliette and the guy featured in the video is Angelina’s Manager he is also her Uncle, Not Angelina’s first original but her first original when Angelina signed with Republic Records at 14 years old, great reaction thanks 🙏
This was a tribute to her grandpa, the shoes the sweater are grandpa's, his photos are in the wall in the hallway and the little girl playing a younger version of AJ is AJs little sister and the man playing grandpa is her uncle (and manager)
Wonderful reaction. I can get through the song without losing it, but not with this music video. I saw those shoes and lost it. My own father had died just two years before.
Excellent reaction and from what I've read is that her Grandpa used to help the less fortunate and always had Angelina with him. It is where she got such strong Empathy towards humanity, God Bless!
A wonderful reaction and comments Maria, new sub to your channel. Always appreciate sincere reactions with Angelina, besides being unbelievably talented she is a sweet, caring, humble and Classy young women, one of the reasons she has millions of fans. Look forward to more Angelina on your channel. Thank you. 🥰🥰
Music is such an important part of our lives, for so many people. Angelina takes us on journeys through each song she sings and often conjures up memories. She is an artist of the highest order. "Million Miles" changed me for the better as it allowed me to properly grieve the loss of loved ones.
In addition to writing the song, Angelina stated in an interview that she drew the sketches for the music video and if you look closely you will see her sketchbook in the video - Also, her sister Juliette plays the role of the younger Angelina, and her Uncle Michael (who is also her manager) plays her grandfather. Also, Angelina performs this song live at some of her concerts - here is an example where she takes the song to the next level: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-joKQeVbThzE.html
Angelina Jordon is sooo good. If you haven't seen her audition on America's got talent try to listen to it. I think at that time she was 13, it was a great performance.
This is such a moving song. Angelina released this song during the pandemic and wrote the following to her fans: “This song is dedicated to anyone who has lost a loved one. I wrote this song thinking about all the great memories I had with my grandpa and how much it hurts to lose someone. I hope this song finds a place in your heart, as it comes straight from mine.” 💔❤️🩹👣
Hey you ! 😅 Kidding. Hi Maria. Thank you for your reaction. I like that room you're in for the reactions. I have NEVER been so emotionally attached to someone I've never met. I've NEVER been starstruck. Even as a kid. But Angelina has reached my soul through my ears. I need to hear her at least once a day. I've never heard anything as beautiful as her voice in my life. Listen to her " Young and beautiful " cover with headphones. You'll see what I mean. 👍😘
This was a beautiful and heartfelt reaction! Thanks! She wrote/recorded this at age 14 (first Republic Records recording) in Fall of 2020. Her maternal granddad (Grandma Mery's husband), whom this is about, passed away the previous fall 2019. I'd encourage you to watch an even more powerful and LIVE performance of this song from her Norwegian concert tour last summer 2022 at age 16. It's more slowed down and the mournful cry she gives toward the heavens at the end of the song is something few ears can listen to without being overcome with emotion! ALSO, her paternal granddad passed away in (I think) 2018 when she was 12 (someone correct me if I'm wrong). But there is a video of her singing Elvis/Willie Nelson's "Always on My Mind" as a tribute to him as well, very shortly after his passing. You definitely should react to it -- but have a box of Kleenex on hand! Sorry, I don't really know how to send links!
Shortly after she released this her other grandfather passed as well. So both were gone by the time this music video was released and both of their pictures are on the wall. Its because of he Japanese grandfather that she speaks japanese, and her grandmother Mery Zamadi is fluent in Farsi, and the fine arts. She produces and directs many of Angelina's videos and makes several cameos. AJs primary language is Norwegian, and I assume if she ever has a weekend off she will help the Nobel committee forge World Peace.
Hi! This song is a tribute to her maternal grandfather, Mery Zamani's husband, who died in 2019. Her paternal grandfather died in March 2018, and she paid tribute to his memory in her performance of "Always on my mind" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dd8r7c-4-ks.html
I love what you said. I only hope that she can continue to work non-stop on her wonderful music & singing and help solve World Peace at the same time. If anyone can, she can.
Her paternal grandpa passed in March 2018 & she dedicated the song Always on My Mind right after the funeral. Then in Nov 2019 her maternal grandpa of Japanese decent passed & she wrote Million Miles for him.
This is a song we all can relate to in one way or the other. And Angelina allowes her emotion of the moment speak when she sings the song. Watch the different video's of this particular song: they are all different and each of them is wonderful. I would not say "one is better than the other". They are different.
great an beautiful reaction to one off my all time favouritt songs from Angelina, she made me think off my dad (he past away few years earlier ) Like some one below suggested her version off this amazing song LIVE from her concerts in Norway last Summer ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-x9dVG5Pgq9o.html she slowed it down so beautifully , the end is pure magic 🥰 Iknow because i was at that concert, here in my home town i Norway❤❤❤ have an beautiful day take care an stay safe 😘
