ROCK MUSICIAN REACTION - Angelina Jordan - Shield 

She is an old soul. Everything about her is carried over from another lifetime. No doubt. Her feel, her pauses, her timing, her changes, all of it as natural to her as breathing. No, she' not the typical little girl of 12. She is probably realizing a dream in this life carried over.

Written for her mother. Seen her uncle, never seen her father. Maybe that is is where she pulls all the emotion from?

"Shield" is about her mother, and she may be 12yr old chronologically, physically she is now at 14 and is nearly 6ft tall so that voice is a natural progression.

I can't believe my favourite female singer is a 12 year old little girl and to think she can only get better as she gets older

She's still holding it back when it comes to her music career. When she's ready, when she's old enough... She will going to be one of the greatest.

Her own song love it 12yrs old saw this on tele as live in norway even beeing british she is amazing.❤

This young girl can sing anything it's kinda insane how she can change her voice for each song .. I just watched her sing the First time I ever saw your face !! Old Soul but the next Mega- Star for sure !!

Her first original is What Is Life, and it is written as her own life, what life is for an 11 year old Angelina. . It is also her voice and the way she sings it that really brings it to life. Her Oslo, was written on the plane on her way back home to Oslo, both are fantastic! Welcome to the world of Angelina ! Please REACT to her This Is A Man's World....Oslo. You will be impressed.

You don't have her the credit she deserve. Lossen to love don't let me go. Her own song to!

Nice honest reaction, and I hope you will continue to react to Angelina Jordan. But as you say, she is only 12. I have been a fan since I saw her on Norway's got talent when she was just was 7. If you had asked me 10 years ago that I would be a musicfan of a child in the future, I would not believed you. But here she is 😇

Thank u for your awesome reaction please do more of our angel big hug from germany👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏

Dette er Angelinas første selvskreven låt. Dette låter som ei kule ,,,Hvem skulle tro at min største idol er i norsk jente på 13 år fantastisk stemme ,innlevelse i det ho gjør

Both, What Is Life and Oslo, are on her cd...It's Magic , which was recorded in Nov. 2017. She would have been 11 when she wrote these, or younger. She speaks 3 languages and plays 4 instruments, and her parents are very strict about her career. They pass on 90% of the offers for her, so she can still be a kid.

So...... are you hooked yet? :) From her own songs, I treasure the very first most.. It’s called “What is life?” There are two versions of that one out there, one with a big band, and one acoustic, I wouldn’t say which one is better.... But I think it’s as a cover artist Angelina really shines so far. Beginning with earlier songs at age 7 and 8, there are many to choose from, several of them mind boggling. At every year you can sense her development, but even if she gets better, the early ones are still total perfection. So... how improve on perfection ?? Beats me, you have to listen for yourself. :)

Now you are in the rabbit hole enjoy. Great reaction

The transition from the bridge to the chorus is so smooth and lovely!

Thank you for a nice Angelina Jordan reaction. I suggest you react to her Adele A Million Years Ago cover next.

I have added Angelina Jordan to my list of favorite young female vocalists, and in my mind they are equal but in their own way. My list includes, Grace Vanderwaal, Courtney Hadwin, Charlotte Summers, Darci Farmer, Emmwne Beasha, and I'm sure there are more to come.I tend to love female vocalists for the sweetness of their sound. I need sweetness and they bring it. God bless them all, and he already has. Thank you, young ladies for giving my world some beauty.

AS ED SHEERAN SAYS WRITE HEAPS OF SONGS AND GET RID OF THE DIRTY WATER, UNTIL THE CLEAN WATER FLOWS.

Angelina is perhaps one of the greatest finds in the history of jazz.

A beautiful smokey voice.

Love her song! I'm a long time fan of hers. I agree with you that she's just scraping the surface of what she can achieve, both songwriting and singing. But THAT VOICE, that roundness and texture is priceless. Keep on following her, I'm sure she's got a lot of surprises for us. One comment for your info, as she's still a child, her parents like to spread her public appearances and therefore stress as much as possible. They are trying to let her be a child and enjoy other stuff related to her age ;)

Love your comments she is Amazing and so gifted and naturally talented she will go very far in the future music is her passion.

You can listen to this girl for hours 💗

Thank you for a nice reaction to Angelina Jordan, please react to its a mans world, Oslo and its magic

I like it, it has a James Bond feel to it and she's doing Adele

Angelina should do the next Bond theme.

Умопомрачительно зрелый голос для такой маленькой девочки!

Yeah! She is so talented. On here way to greatness.

You will soon find that AJ is addictive. Hold your breathe, head the waves and you will not stop getting emotions, likes, shills, subscribers, goosebumps etc. BTW, it’s not only about those waves, this kid, now a young teen, has more, much more to share: she’s generous, humble, she has a great hart and I think she may one day decide that music isn’t the end, but this is just me thinking loudly

Really good reaction and commentary. You bring up a lot of issues that are missed by others and give a lot of things to think about.

She was thinking about how finally, who are her protector about bad people they’re trying to bond bad things to her she’s singing in from watching over her she calls her family they are her for a protection

Her video of 'I'm Still Holding Out For You' is very similar to this, and I think it is a true masterpiece.

I appreciate your straight, honest opinion of this song. It is a good start, but not a breakout song. Assuming that Angelina stays squeaky clean, she can achieve super stardom by either getting better at song writing or getting better song writers and getting breakout songs. The proper song with her voice could reach high on the charts.

The amount of potential of her songwriting is ridiculous.

Angelina sang I Who Have Nothing at age 6. Her voice control at 6 years old was amazing it’s on RU-vid. Don’t know how to share the link to you , or I would. Check it out. A little background history. Thanks

This song was written by Angelina. She’s 12 to tell how wonderful her family will have a protector. She calls her that her fire against against bad people I do bad things to her

Now she has sign on republic records and her new Album with more own Songs Will come soon 🌺💖💓

She also plays several instruments.

Thanks for reacting to Angelina again! I agree with some of your assessment of this song. On the one hand it is a very likable and instantly recognizable song that could be playing on the radio today. On the other hand it has that standard/simple structure like every other song on the radio today. I don't know the story of how "shield" was put together, but I feel like there were producers with their fingers in the creation. The reason I say that is because if you listen to her other two songs (that were arranged by her), they sound completely different than shield. They each have their own unique style and sound, and they both sound very much like what one would expect Angelina to create. To me "what is life" and "oslo" are both on a different level of artistry than "shield". They are both original and unique. When I first heard Shield, I thought this could easily be an Adele song (meaning this sounds like a lot of other songs). I can't do that with her other two songs; they just sound like Angelina songs. I will be very interested to see what direction angelina goes with her career. She could very easily go the commercial route and produce lots of "radio ready hits". That would get her rich and famous in a hurry, but to me that would be a huge waste of her talent. Anybody can do the generic pop stuff... we need artists that are new and different to make things we haven't heard before, and if anyone can do that, it is Angelina. Having listened to all her covers over the last few years, I can tell that she is now experimenting and searching for the true Angelina Jordan. I am really excited to find out over the next few years what that will be. I'm not sure (as a rock musician) what you will think of "what is life" or "Oslo", but I would be interested to hear your thoughts... What is Life (live acoustic) - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Bv0r77KN7RA.html Oslo (Live orchestra) - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R2HkKh_Cp8I.html

Thanks for the reaction :) I agree with you. At such a young age, it must be difficult to put yourself out there as a songwriter. I mean, she can sing the phonebook and sound amazing. But showing her work to the world is a different game, I think. One thing that stands out here (you mentioned it early in your video) is the depth and clarity she has in her lower register. Not a common thing in children this age. Always follow your reactions, so eager to see more in the future ;)

"How does someone that young have a voice that deep?" Try 14-year old Diana Ankudinova. What a duet her and Angelina would do!

Please listen to her cover of Back to Black.. She does it outstanding 👍👌

only you, like a musician, dared to say…. [ vocal coa... musicians… etc... so-called - say nothig about her own first song] Big respect

Great Reaction. Ive been following Angelina since her 1st talent appearance singing Gloomy Sunday.. The girl is not from this planet! Her voice is so reminisent of days long gone now, like a 1940's Jazz singer.. I would love to see you react to some more of her covers including "Summertime", "Its a Mans World", Back to Black and Born to Die... If you want to see another great seriously young talent, who has the same vocal abilities (just in a different genre) try "Daneilya Tuloshova" and her 1st talent appearance of "Rise Up" and "Stone Cold" Ill always follow anyone who appreciates just how talented some of the young guns are are these days.. Subbed dude :)

Another nice reaction to our Angelina, and a great, thoughtful and insightful commentary. Thank you. I've been following Angelina Jordan for a while now, and I was a bit concerned about how well her voice would hold up under the stress of puberty and the inevitable growth spurts that would follow. My concerns were pretty much eliminated with this song (and others since). It seems apparent that she's reached her full height, and it's nice that she appears to have grown to match the depth of her vocal cords - she's topped out at just a hair under 6' and everything seems to be well under control. I assumed her height was around that, having seen a recent image of her standing next to Barak Obama at a private concert she gave for him. He's a known commodity at 6'1" in height, and she's standing comfortably eye-to-eye with him, and even appears to be a bit taller in one image, though it's apparent she's wearing a mid-sized heel, so there is that. However, I have since had confirmation of her height from a friend of the family, so a huge thank you to Boris for that. I agree that she is still finding her way in regards to performing her own material. However, I have no concerns whatsoever. That will come about in good time, as will her superstar ranking and her upcoming and inevitable domination of the music world. It's nice that she's sitting back and letting it come to her, instead of rushing out to grab it before she's ready.

When you said, I'd like to see her sing this song in five years time, I thought, "yeah, she'll be 17". Seventeen! For goodness sake. Seventeen!

Thanks for great and honest reaction hope to hear more of her from you.. Its a bit difficult to figure her out as she is so Versatile and can adapt her voice to every song she sings so its always something new and surprising that comes out :) ~ OneLove ~ JBB

Yes, please keep the angelina reactions coming! Being a rock musician, I'm not sure which of her songs to recommend to you, but I think you might really like these: "It's a mans world"(12 years old) - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HEm7tGrjIKk.html "Back to Black" (10 years old) - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LbXUKzOxACU.html

Since the age of 6 Angelina has covered (literally) a lot of ground, maybe 80 songs or so. These songs have been from a variety of genres, jazz to pop to Whitney Houston. I like her jazz the most, but that is just a preference of mine. Her originals are thoughtful, but as you say, a bit standard. Nevertheless, this is remarkable for her age. Because I like jazz, I suggest her rendition of a song from a fellow Norwegian, Baby Fuzz. It is not a live performance, but I'm Still Holding Out For You represents her bluesy voice really, really well. As for classic jazz, there is It's a Man's World, a remarkably good performance. I enjoy your perspective, keep up the good work!

As a singer, you definitely don't want to miss Dimash. For the start can you react to his song SOS, sinfull passion, and love is like a dream. They're masterpieces. Thanks

I liked your reaction. I'm not a musician or song writer so can't analyze this song the way you do, but agree that her own work is not yet sophisticated. She is still a child and is learning this as well as developing her voice. I also agree with some of the other commenters that her cover of A Million Years is exceptional. Hope you do that one.

At the age of 11 or so to write songs of her own? Unbelievable. But I bet you that a good number of song writers are out there right now trying to create songs for her unique voice. And I agree with another commentator here please, please listen to Angelina doing a cover (with only acoustic guitar) of Adele's "A Million Years Ago" I love Adele too but Angelina's version is far better than the original in a lot of people's opinions.

I agree but it is the style she and her vocals are best suited too.

I loved her since I heard her on NORWAYS GOT TALENT singing Billie Holiday songs...she was only 8 years old. You should hear her sing GLOOMY SUNDAY!!

Good to see an honest reaction. While the general jaw-dropping is probably an honest enough representation of the reactors real reaction, they tend to proceed to say whatever they think will give them most likes and subs. The fact that she's amazing doesn't mean that some sober observations and rational comments are out of place. I sadly seem incapable of it, myself. Eventually, I may recover from my amazement and awe, and have a rational thought about her music. Return to reason is slow, though. In the mean time, I need to have common sense pointed out to me...

Just stumbled upon your site. I first saw an Angelina Jordan video a couple of weeks, have harvested over twenty for my own collection. One of the things I find fascination other than just her phenomenal voice is that she sings barefoot, yet to see her wearing shoes as she sings.

Thanks for the reaction. I generally don't listen to young singers doing covers, glad you're bringing her out with an original. I understand she wrote the lyrics for this, and there are several co-writers listed; unclear if for music and lyrics. Her timing and phrasing in this and her other 2 originals is what's customary in her chosen genre. But I am greedy - do hope she progresses to more originality in that. Because she has such a wonderful voice talent, with its potential realized by hard work. She's obviously very intelligent and level headed. Totally inconsequential: Doesn't she look a lot like Ziva from NCIS? Cote de Pablo.

You should of course watch all of Angelina Jordan's Norway Got Talent performances and the other performances form 2014; I Who Have Nothing, Fly Me To The Moon, What a Difference a Day Make and I'll Be There. I would love it if you reacted to Aurora (born in 1996) she is another magical Norwegian Artist. I suggest Runaway live at The 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert, she wrote it in one hour when she was 11 years old. Just have in mind that when Aurora sings, she dos not only use her voice, she uses her whole body to convey the song so you get an artist who sings and does kind of an interpretive dance at the same time.

She wanted to have a Bond song sound. If you find the interview preceeding this performance on Skavlan it is worth watching.

Thanks. Good and honest reaction. Please react to more of her. There is a lot to choose from. She is a prodigy

"Holding out for you" original song written for her listen to it

Oh skavlan is the host of the television show it is a swedish Norwegian show his name is Fredrick Skavlan

Wow Allannah Miles Black Velvet.... I was a student as i listened to it and has been sticking inside my head.

SVT2= Swedish Television channel 2, the program was "Skavlan"

Impressive since English is a second language for her

She wanted a "Bond" sound. Her favorites are Diamonds are Forever and Goldfinger. If you watch the full interview she gives more info.

She wrote that song.

please react to Angelina Jordan when she did the first audition when she had 7 years old.

Check out her singing this live this year with her own band totally different

I think she wrote this about her grandmother?

So SaWD hypothetical question. Angelina and Grace are both performing close to you same night different venues who do you pay to see

At that time, she was 10

Your comment is particularly interesting ! Thanks for it

angelina is the best

Its a great song though >>> This child could fill any stadium anywhere on Earth.

Thanks for your honest and super reaction, loved it! As you kindof compared her to Adele here, I suggest your next reaction should be her cover of 'A million years ago'

Jazz!

This is part 2 of that video, in part 1 she explains what inspired her and talks a bit about herself, watch it 😉 and yes! She is an amazing talent, a Gift to Humanity!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Next 007 tune....

👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍

I was listening to Shirley Manson & Garbage's THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH... which is one of the few songs they've recorded which isn't their own. I dislike comparisons or tying someone to another's fate... I just hope the song's lyrics are proven with time - to keep her protected from the predators and parasites of fame. EDIT: I wish her producer(s) would have taken the band into full banzai mode for the chorus' explosion. It feels like it's a '4' on the Richter Scale when it needs to be a '9'.

Please listen to Million Miles written by Angelina.

Good reaction, but im not sure if reacting to "Shield" was the right choice as a second reaction to Angelina Jordan. As much as it great as everything she does, youy wont get blown away by this. You really should react to her earlier stuff where she made a name of herself. Thats how you get to know Angelina Jordan....Then you can explore her own stuff. Just my opinion. But hopefully you will do more reactions of her.

👏👏👏

Boris has posted videos of Angelina in concert on the 12th last week and she did sheild there better than here go check it out

Check out the acoustic version

This was a bad recording. To hear it as it should sound look up the utube concert she did on 7/12/2019. Its a festival she sings at every year. Shes actually been writing songs since she was 10, theres a video showing her doing it with her band, but she doesnt release them as yet. BTW she plays 3 instruments, published 2 books which her artist grandmother illustrated, and english is her 3rd language. Her grandmother is the one to blame for all of this, she dragged Angelina around music stores looking for old jazz records since she was a baby.

👍😊❤️

Next please: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-meUN_mTpl1I.html Absolute stunning performance from our norwegian child prodigy

She is trying out her swimming legs...

Check out Angelina Jordan sings cover Whitney Houston song I HAVE NOTHING,iT WILL BLOWN YOU AWAY JUST great cover :)

Also you can check out Forsvarets Stabsmusikkorps - Oslo she gave there.

Not her first song do you want me before that this is the first century out when she was 10

Seriously

Hi, I was wondering if you could play angelina's It's a man's world from the concert of 2018 and life is beautiful not the one from the album it's the video one thank you!! I could also say born to die, a million years ago, I am just saying what you can do as reactions thank you!! 🎤

Not sure f anyone knows that this song is about God❤️🙏🏼

Actually "Shield" is NOT a first song written by Angelina Jordan. First song is "What Is Life". Here is a first try of it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Bv0r77KN7RA.html and here you can see this song performed with a big orchestra ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ik_ak9FzbMk.html Both versions are STRONGLY recommended

The youngest thing by her on utube is" I who have nothing" done at 6. Its very much worth seeing. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RjQZKBpVaes.html
