Admission time. As I said in the description, this video is sourced from rehearsal images and sound from a BBC Radio broadcast of the concert which took place on the next day. It took about 25 resync edits to keep them in line. If you want to hear the even better quality audio from the source, then there's a link in the description.

Loved the description. I would really like to see her either tour with a big band or, sing with the symphony orchestras around the country. Our local symphony adds to their regular sections Jazz players and has many different types of musicians perform like Doc Severinsen, Kenny G etc. Harry Connick travels with his own big band as does Michael Buble and they put on fabulous shows. This type of music (Standards) is her wheelhouse. If she becomes a “Pop” singer, she may make more money, but won’t stand out from the crowd as she won’t be as unique. Don’t misunderstand me, she is fabulous no matter what she sings, there are many “Pop” singers; not a lot of female crooners.

Now, you need to listen to the actual performance where they change keys a full step and she lets loose. You can point out the difference between a rehearsal and the performance. Go for it, Boudy!,

I look for reactors that I can learn from. They are the only ones I subscribe to. I don't need somebody to tell me how great it sounded and how wonderful the harmonies were. Even without a musical background I can figure that out for myself. So, yes, please, continue to educate us. That's why I'm subscribed.

Beautiful real music and a fabulous voice makes for a perfect sound.

Quincy said he hadn't been as impressed by a singer as he was with her, since Michael Jackson.

Really like the explanations of the technical stuff, please keep doing it… Angelina is the greatest!!!!

Tell me this song wasn't written for Angelina! Because she totally owns it. Her voice bounces over it like a soft breeze, completely at home with the sound of the band. No wonder Quincy Jones wanted her to open his 85th birthday celebration show.

I really love your reactions and analyses. One of the reasons your channel is so special among the many reaction channels is your excitement and enthusiasm for the subject matter. I think we can all get something valuable from your comments as long as you feel passionate about them. You'll be happier doing this and we will benefit from it.

The stars and planets aligned when Angelina Jordan was born. The journey of an artist can indeed be profoundly affected by their socioeconomic background. Angelina Jordan's financial stability has arguably given her the freedom to explore and express her creativity without the immediate pressure of financial survival. The most profound individual in AJ’s life, according to her, is her grandmother, Mery Zamani, artist/poet extraordinaire who’s knowledge, wealth and genius have tutored AJ, and cultivated her unbelievable talent. This is a luxury not afforded to all artists, and the music industry is replete with stories of immensely talented individuals who have faced immense pressure to succeed financially. This pressure can sometimes lead to a tragic struggle with substance abuse, as seen in the cases of Whitney Houston and Amy Winehouse. Their legacies serve as a stark reminder of the potential consequences of the immense pressures of fame and success in the music industry. It's a complex tapestry where talent, personal circumstances, and external pressures interweave to shape an artist's career and personal life. (CopyRight)

She was only 12 and singing for Quincy on his request. Unbelievable. Thank you for your wonderful reaction.

Top tier conductor, musicians, arrangement, support etc...and she just walks in and kills it!

I love hearing all you have to offer about what we’re listening to! But I’d hate to miss your comments about Angelina’s performance because you’re focusing on the music. Can you do both?! It’s never too long, we want to hear all you have to say!! But I’m here primarily to hear about what I’m loving about her performance; so, even if you have to listen through it a second time, could you please also keep commenting on her vocal choices, and techniques and abilities? It enhances our appreciation so much! Thank you for this! So interesting!! God bless!! ❤

Fun fact - As Angelina sings the last 'You!', she gestures towards Quincy 💖

Angela with a full orchestra would be a dream and a gift to the senses at each performance.

Let's see if I understand this. Angelina is wonderful with a big band like this. She's fantastic with a full orchestra like in "Unchained Melody" and "Summertime." The is a fantastic intimacy in those recording at home with Egil and Ivan. Her acapella performances are beautiful. I think it would be safe to say that she is fantastic, regardless of the accompaniment.

Your technical input for us is greatly appreciated as all basically most of know is we love Angelina's voice. This is Quincys arrangement of this classic song and EVERYONE involved NAILED IT! Your continued support and Angelina Mondays are among the highlights of my week. Thank you Boudy for ALL you do ❤

That jazz ensemble was great and flawless.

Fantastic!!!!Absolutely!!!!!!

You are Awesome !!! Great job !! And this was perfect !!

NO! Don't stop. If I already know it I will fast-forward. But when I usually don't, I really enjoy learning. Thank You! 🙏😊

Thanks. I love all the additional information. It really adds to my appreciation of the final product.

You can talk all day for me❤😂

Angelina has said, opening the show celebrating the 85th birthday for Quincey Jones, at the O2 Arena in London, was the high point of her young career. Boudy, I sincerely hope the top specialist you are seeing, for your back, as a solution for your pain.

Hi Boudy.... Thanks to share your knowledge with us... Have a Very nice week...¡¡¡¡

Yes, she sounds wonderful with a full orchestra, just as she did for Summertime and Kork, and unbelievably beautiful with her Nobel performance, my all time favorite performance of hers.

Perfect reaction, Angelina live with this orchestra is a bucket list. Just have to fly to Norway when it happens.

This quality is insane , the musicians woooooow and angelina is heavenly....soooooooogrooooooovyyyyy....the best version i have ever heard, angelina the queen 👑♥️🌹💫 thank you for your reaction 😊

I love your production notes and explanations, Boudy. Keep 'em coming! The word that leaps to mind while listening to this Angelina vocal is authentic. How many singers today can swing like this with a big band and sound like they were born to do it? Angelina also understands that a sweet tone and good enunciation is part of this style and does she deliver! I adore your scenario of Angelina touring with a big band in a musical revue. I think it would generate the kind of fandom The Grateful Dead used to draw, with people following the shows across the country and maybe even across the world. We can dream.

❤❤❤Love Angelina❤❤❤

Please keep helping us to understand this technical side of recording as it makes me a better listener. As always, I love your passionate presentations of lovely Angelina's gifts!

Angelina is only twelve years old in this rehearsal. I can only imagine the looks on the faces of seasoned twenty-five and thirty year old vocalists when they listen to this performance.

So you got 115 comments in the first 7 hours. Obviously you are doing the right thing. As someone great once said "just do it !"

Thanks Boudy, not to much information, I loved it and learned some new things about the massive process of creating such beautiful sounds. Angelina was 12 here, invited by Quincy to preform at his 85th birthday gala in London. She is a total professional even at her earliest ages of performing. Just for your personal look, here is a video of her singing just for Quincy BTS with just her phone as backing track, it is a private audience with Quincy: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eNN-pdKJxNaWkmw.html. She has touched so many famous artists, and they all know who she is. She just hooked up with Toby Gab, quite famous songwriter, musician and they are writing a new song together and she is collaborating with him for a re-strung version of his many songs and performing live with him, I believe in London as well...this is new!! Cheers, stay well. Here is a video of that announcement:kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gJegYLGJ0-C5mWw.html... your a busy guy so maybe have a peek when you can. This young Lady is a magnet for great talent...they all know her.

Some mention of who's orchestra and why it's so spot on. Quincy's orchestra who was Sinatra's bandleader and arranger of this song for him. Angelina is requested by the best the world over. And for good reason. Behind the scenes are on her grandma Merys yt channel

Yes, at 12 years of age, in the presence of such an orchestra, she has no hesitation whatsoever. It's impeccable. What incredible musical sense !

Boudy I think that your dreams for Angelina and a concert with a full orchestra will come true some day and it will be simply amazing. Great reaction thx.

Another video may enjoy is the rehearsal for the “Back to Black” video when she was 10. You can see how she is singing while the cameramen are moving around. She is unfazed while she performs.

There is also a video from backstage that was shot by Grandma Mery! Watch until the end for a beaming smile!

One of my favorites! Great reaction, thanks! This is a fan made video that combines video of the rehearsal with the concert audio. There is no good concert video. They tricked you, but there are other rehearsal videos with rehearsal audio.

AB, This concert rehearsal video is my favorite recording of Angelina voice . I love this period time in Angelina's life, when her voice had that pure jazz sound from back in the Day!

I want to hear everything you want to say! You and your team are fantastic. Not bad for a 12 year old huh? There are several videos of Angelina here and on stage with Quincy. Mom & Grandma filmed this + some back stage at the actual concert. A year before on her birthday she was surprised with a practice session either military orchestra even before the concert containing Its A Mans World. Several others even younger with her doing I Put a Spell on You. Can’t wait for many more Mondays with AJ & You!

I wish she would go back to her jazz roots and incorporate more of that into her music. It’s her real strength and I miss hearing her sing the classics every so often. Songs like Loving You, Cry Me a River, It’s a Man’s World would be great to hear now and again.

It is amazing she sounds better in a rehearsal than most in person. Great reaction. As someone that knows little about what goes into music, its great to hear how it is developed and made. To me, Angelina whether with just a guitar and piano or with a full orchrestra will always command the room

I agree with the others. Do the videos like you love them to do, and we will love it. Because your genuine authenticity paired with your profound knowledge and admiration is what makes you stand out. You are my favorite Angelina reactor because of your character, your heart and soul and your knowledge. I think as an Angel the greatest joy is to feel the shared love for the love the Angel is sharing with us. And that's what you do. So: don't move 😎 change nothing! Be you! 🫡❤️😇

Great! Bravo! Thank you!

It's Monday goodness again.

Thanks a lot for the reaction to our angel Angelina.. she’s simply the best…👍👏

0nly 12 years old and and already a seasoned professional in rehearsal with Frank Sinatra's and now Quincy Jones orchestra. I can't imagine how anyone at this age can be so relaxed. So in tune with themselves and actually so fearless and just deliver an easy free-flowing Fly Me to the Moon rehearsal song. This was wonderful. It's an absolute gem and it absolutely gives us an understanding of why she is born to sing and be on stage. I want to thank you for your absolutely informative breakdown of the mixing techniques needed to put through a recording and also into a live performance. It's so important to understand this because there is so much behind the scenes that is going on that we don't get to see. All we get to see is the finished product and it's absolutely magnificent to witness. Keep posting my friend. Your channel is so much important to all the Angels all over the world. Sending much thanks and love from Canada always 👍🇨🇦❤️

You and Angelina should meet someday and talk. As for Angelina singing, she is from another world when it comes to music.

Love Love Love your channel!! Look forward to every Angelina Monday!!!

I love hearing her with an orchestra! Her timing is always so on point, even when it seems to drift she brings it back even better.

Angelina will be perfoming with Toby Gad in London on May 20 and May 23, 2024. Not full concerts but part of an event .

The description of Philip video will tell you that this audio is from the BBC radio broadcasting of the event. No wonder is so crisp eh?

Thank you for your explanations. I really enjoy them as it is always good to know how these things work. Another excellent job. I have said it before, but you are without a doubt one of the very best reactors on KZfaq. Oh, and happy belated birthday. May you see many, many, many more.

Love the way Julie London sang this.

Boudy, you will have to go to Grandma Mery’s KZfaq channel for the actual raw rehearsal video! This video was dubbed over with the actual production audio!

Yes, she could tour with a full orchestra and it would be wonderful. Or a pianist only and it would be sublime.

Sir Boudy you can never say too much , the knowledge you have is from experience , what more can we ask for

My second favorite video of hers, the favorite being the rooftop performance in Oslo singing Time To Say Goodbye.

Fascinating commentary! This is one of my all-time favorite Angelina videos, and it's interesting to hear how the sound was captured and mixed and remixed. I've been around some recording studios for a spoken word CD, and the array of equipment is mysterious to me. A lot of magic goes on behind and supporting the performance! More of this would be interesting. Thanks so much for Angelina Jordan Mondays! Now my favorite day on KZfaq.

If I had a million dollars, well I, I'd spend it all🎶. She's the best, it's not close. You're pretty good too B. 🥰

Awesome thank you wild bill there is part of angelina singing happy birthday to Quincy Jones wild bill

🥰TY🥰

Great Reaction 👍🙏💯👣😎

Great explanation of mixing. You know, I think Angelina attracts fans who are bright and like to learn, and so they appreciate explanations like yours.

This is great, please, please do more like this. Because most of us, certainly I know, that I don't know.

Philip did a great job synchronizing the video footage with the audio from the BBC broadcast of the actual concert. Unfortunately he had to cut out the first three minutes of the original video, which I think is a pity because you can see Angelina interacting with the conductor (Jules Buckley, 38yo at the time) - she is 12yo and not only almost as tall but also just as professional. Here is the "raw" material kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gcBifrVivrPdf3k.html

You should React to Angelina's older version of "Summertime" with the full Orchestra Kork

Did anyone mention the audio (when she starts singing) is dubbed from the actual concert, not this rehearsal. Grandma's original recording is still on her YT channel and AJ is barely audible. I don't believe Mery had access to any audio files that may have been generated during the period covered by this video or the expertise to edit audio. Angie was the opening musical act for the Quincy birthday concert but was not mentioned in the playbill.

Niece ❤thanks!

Tell us more, tell us more!

She is doing a collaboration with Toby Gad to sing in London at, I think, she said the Palladium Theater. The auditorium holds 2,286 people. Wow time for AJ.

Boudy thank you so much for your tech lesson.

I liked the explanations keep them going...

Jules Buckley was the the conductor here, and he started these tributes to Quincy Jones in 2016, as can be read on his website: >>The program’s initial concept premiered in 2016 at the BBC Proms in London, where Jules Buckley led the “flawless” Metropole Orkest in a stunning tribute to his idol. This collaboration continues to this day with subsequent concerts performed in Stuttgart, Paris, Montreux and Seattle, including Quincy’s 85th birthday at London’s O2 in 2018, which saw the legend himself perform his hits to brand new arrangements.

Thanks!

Love your reactions mate. Keep it going , would love you to view her rehearsal of Screaming J Hawkins “Portrait of a Child ( subtitled) another fine example of whose the Boss & how amazing at a young age

Rehearsal for Quincy Jones birthday celebration concert. Where Quincy called her the best child singer since Michael Jackson.

YES!! I love the technical lessons on production and mixing. It all helps us understand why we love listening to Angelina. Yes, there's the voice. But the technical stuff plays a part as well. And, if we get tired of listening to you blather on about that we can always fast forward until you get back to the actual video. (I must confess, I've done that to you a couple of times!!) Thank you for your insights.

Angelina has Persian genes and WOW that shows through!

This is actually the audio from the show. It has been dubbed over the rehearsal video.

More of the same please - never stop. BTW there has been some clever mixing and overdubbing on this. The original video is not quite so crisp. I believe the actual concert vocal was to some extent overdubbed onto the BTS recording. There are some very talented video producers in the AJ fan base as you already know. Thank you for wonderful content. - I see our talented editor of the video has already fessed up 😂 I love all of you - honestly

Boudy, I share your pain brother; it too shall pass. I'm so glad that you have fallen prey to one of my favorite AJ sound tracks. FYI Quincy wrote this arrangement for Frank Sinatra and the Count Basie Orchestra and personally asked AJ in (2018) to open his 85th Birthday Gala at London's O2 Arena with this song. Since I first heard this several years ago, I have searched for the female vocalist's name that AJ reminds me of. The vocal tone is so familiar, but I was a teenager when I first heard her in the 1950s.

The gig was 85 Quincy Jones anniversary The sound was paste, on the image is the rehersal .... there is the original version with a very poor sound (from phone or small camera) Same for the studio version of I'm a fool to want you : you can see and ear the original version filmed by granma Mery and a fan paste the recorded soundtrack on mery's images ...

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I’ve said this before, but my extra dopamine hit is when she’s younger like this. I’m not saying Boudy feels the same, but I know she has a song that is coming that I’ll feel it again, and while yes, the recent songs are good, but not that “extra” that I felt before like this performance. Thx Boudy.

In the meanwhile she’ll be working with the LEGEND Stevie Wonder soon!!!!🎉🥳❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Boudy. Osovarga in the comments mentions in the comments that there is more behind the seen vidio of this rehearsal. There is at least 2 more videos of this rehearsal, where it shows Angelina walks up to the conductor straight after she finishes singing with a music sheet and points out something wrong on the sheet. He then crosses something out and fixes it I think with a pencil. He also looks at a few other sheets. Just think how many music sheets will have to be reprinted. It must have Ben Merys chanel I saw this on. Angelina was only 12 years old. just after her It's Magic Album with the Norwegian millitery staff orchestra.

To be a singer in orchestra.....

Thank you for your INPUT Arab man. Or is it output? 🧐😁

❤❤❤

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hey, you have "something" to say and it is important and interesting and sensitive and to the point, so please keep talking ❤ thank you❤

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Angelina sang only a couple times with orchestras. Here's a list of six occasions, though for Black To Black and Faded, it were not full orchestras: kzfaq.info/sun/PLddfS789jBConxCCf6ora48EShVMAujd8

❤

*NEW* Angelina Jordan: "Happy Mother's Day to my beautiful Granny" kzfaq.infoi1ACJIeZ0Ek

Here is the footage of Angelina performing this in O2 Arena (12) - the video is poor quality - but the audio is from the mixing board: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q6ykeaukl6rLZXk.html - unfortunately no professional video has been released on this.
