Habibati! If you haven't checked it out yet, here's the link to the Retrospective we did about Angelina Jordan, this was a labor of love, we'd be super happy if you checked it out and shared your thoughts.

Face it. Angelina was born with an already highly advanced intuition, elite instincts, perfect pitch and a hyper sensitivity to know how to interpret the requisite emotional content and context of lyrics.

How can she do this?She is Truly amazing. She was given a voice, great focus and a grandmother and family that nurtured the gift. There always people that are ahead of their time or other people can not understand how they are so good as they are. She worked on her gift her whole life with help and guidance. Sometimes we just just need to accept that people have a vision or talent and just know that part was a gift and a large part was their dream and hard work to make it happen. We just need to enjoy her singing in amazement and glory, accept it as s gift at the ground level. I enjoy her music do much!! Please respond!!!!!

When she was very young, Angelina said she wanted to use her music to bring love to the world. How many children think of such things? I hiope many more. I hope a new crop of new humans are coming onto the planet loaded with talent and finding a way to share it with us. It does bring love. Whenever I hear Angelina Jordan, I feel it, and the world seems a better place. Thanks for another wonderful reaction, Boudy!

I absolutely love watching you react to Angelina. Your love of the songs and appreciation of her talent are a joy to watch.

Can you understand how it is possible to be singing to a cheap SingKing karaoke track like this and make it sound THIS beautiful ?? Just try to think how this would have sounded in a studio, right ? Thanks a lot my friend, for the love and dedication you show Angelina and us. Greatly appreciated 🙂 Have the best week possible! Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥ Btw, the video was uploaded 9 days after her 13th birthday, so it is very possible that she was still 12 in the video 😉

Angelina’s singing often brings me to tears. Your kind and insightful words describing Angelina’s point of view at performing this cover also brought me to tears. It is often hard to fathom the profound beauty that Angelina epitomizes in everything she does.

She sings this one with her eyes closed for much of it. She is channeling the song. When she sings how she gives all of me, the softness and beauty of her voice moves me to tears. Thanks for appreciating the greatest vocalist I have ever heard. I have listened to a lot of singing and she is so different- she doesn’t sing a song, she emotes a song and connects to the listener like no one I have known.

One of the things that I like about AJ is that I feel that she understands and appreciates how lucky she is to have had the opportunity to show everyone her prodigious talent!

Your comments at the end are spot on, Boudy. "There, but for the grace of God, go I." We all are the fortunate ones, because Angelina's family and support group recognized her talent at a very young age, and they were able to nurture, support and promote that talent. And we all are the beneficiaries of that recognition. For every Angelina Jordan out there, how many hundreds with similar talent will never get that chance.

She did the work, put her 10k hours in and mastered her vocal instrument. Her new EP that just dropped is 🔥 🔥, AJ came off the starting line firing on all cylinders!

Thanks for the reaction to our angel Angelina..she’s simply the best…

She blows my mind😮❤

she not only had an idea .. she had the actual DREAM!! 😊❤ P.S. I love your reactions!

Exactly, the production kept masking the nuances in her singing so the sheer genius and beauty of her voice did not come through as clearly as most of her other songs. Regardless, still beautiful.

I liked the harmony parts. But otherwise, it was a great reaction. You are a sensitive, educated and intelligent man. Thank you for doing reactions to Angelina.

Angelina Jordan The Sound Of Music. Angelina Jordan is a remarkable vocal artist that possesses a rare talent: she has a photographic memory for sound. This means that she can recall and reproduce any sound she hears with perfect accuracy and pitch. She applies this skill to her musical performances, especially when she covers songs by other vocal artists. She does not merely imitate them, but rather uses their voices as inspiration and reference points for her own unique interpretations. She can capture the essence and emotion of any song, while adding her own flair and style to it. There is a difference between a good singer and a great singer. A good singer can capture the moment, but a great singer can transform the moment into ART. ART is not just a representation of reality, but an expression of vision. ART should always transcend the ordinary, and Angelina Jordan accomplishes this in every performance.

This particular cover is one of the most magical and honest and deeply felt covers I have ever seen and heard. She was 13. We don't need to or shouldn't need to think of how THIS cover should be better. This cover is EXCEPTIONALLY BRILLIANT. I so understand how you were wanting to improve it and then realized it actually needed no improvement at all, considering that it is a cover .. a cover on KZfaq .. but certainly one of the best covers ever. Touches anyone who hears it deep in their hearts. I always love it when someone else loves it as much as I do. Blessings and Love.

Angelina was 12 in this cover and the background painting is her grandmother's Mery Zamani.

What you will realize in so many of these home videos is that she is practicing one technique after another by doing and we get to watch. The recordings are pretty much done by herself or her grandmother. A number of them are not gonna have the production quality to be able to critique them on that. Her voice always shines through with flying colors though. This was a karaoke track with a very rudimentary midi piano piece that is too loud. The rest of it is magic. The story goes that she received that Neumann TLM 102 for her 12th birthday. Anything with it is after that. Thank you for your reactions to Angelina. They have great depth to them and I love the way you understand her or at least try to put yourself in her position--trying to understand what she might be thinking.

How she can do this? Her simple answer.. Magic..i am sitting at piano, jamming and the magic 🪄 begins. She wrote 100 Songs for us 😄🙏 and wrote a bookshelf of Journal 😮 can't wait for the whole LP. Her Cover Songs are great but her own Songs are full of love and happiness 💞 Magic ✨

The painting behind her is by her Grandmother Mery

When younger and the song was really emotional She shuts her eyes to help her enter the world of the song without distraction. You cannot always rely on post dates for her age.

Exactly, I've thought many times, what if Angelina was the little girl weighing people for money with her dream to be a superstar. It's very sad, but it would probably never happen.

Two legends… John and Angelina

A voice from the future !!!

I don't know if you've already reacted to (i'd rather go blind) you're going to love it, thanks Arab man sdos Argentina.

The painting behind Angelina was done by grandma Mery.

She's standing in front of one of Grandma Mery's paintings.

Boudy, hi, and yes there is so much more to Angelina than her vocal and artistic attributes. As her popularity grows and she is discovered by millions of new listeners they will get to understand 'who she is' as we all have. I would like to make reference to something that happened during the 'Shoe Story' when Angelina had a conversation with the poor unfortunate girl. She asked the girl want she wanted to do with her life. (The girl was about 7 so here we have a conversation between a 6 year old and a 7 year old.) I'm assuming the girl shrugged her shoulders a bit when she told Angelina she would have wanted to be a doctor. Angelina quickly spoke up and told her to 'never give up' and 'have hope that your dream will come true'. And, of course, on the way home Angelina realized she never wanted to forget that little girl and the fact that there are so many children in the world who, at the very least, didn't own a pair of shoes, and she decided at that moment that whenever she sang in public to appear on stage barefoot so that her memory of the girl would never fade. "6 YEARS OLD!" Take care, my friend, always a pleasure to take time listening to you, and 'watching' you, react to Angelina.

This is a once in a generational talent

The production is the proof that angelina voice is purely good. Not becouse of autotune or any stuff. See you next aj

She is awesome great reaction as always thank you wild bill

Yes the karaoke track is a bit stiff and loud, but remember she did all of this herself, as a hobby.. after school and homework and between practice and supper/bed time.. At 12/13.. She probably liked the reverb.. ;-)

Angelina is 12/13 in this video. Love your reactions of Angelina's performances.

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😍😇🥲❤️‍🔥I love your Monday hugs

I like your honesty in the comments. Please keep it up. 😊🙏🏽

Every song is a good one .. the most intemite are the ones with her and a guitarist ❤ Greatings from an old Danish Dear and Angel 🌷🇩🇰❤️

Angelina was 12 years old when this video was done.

Alhamdulillah!!!

Do her cover of Stay by Rhianna. You will be so happy. It's Angelina pure as it gets❤

Boudy Always love your Reactions. I have actually come back in time a little and watching this again. I Don't even remember if I had left a comment lol. I guess I will find out after reading these comments again that these amazing Angels leave. While Angelina filled my ears with this amazing musical art, I looking at this cool peace of Art that I see on wall behind Angelina of Grandmother Merys. Angelina injoys doing a few stokes with a paint brush as well. Often with Grandma Mery. Angelina might have painted a few parts on that painting?

❤ yeah man.

Hey Boudy. AJ was actually still 12 when this was recorded. Agree with your perspective on the backing track! -- but still an amazing performance.

The simplicity of Angelina Jordan is deceptive because she is a "SHAMAN". Shamans Genius: Exceptional intellectual or creative power, the greatest musical genius of our time is Angelina Jordan. Can one be hypnotized by sound? Shamans use rhythmic drumming and chanting to achieve control over a mind. Angelina's is unique in that she has the ability to create audios that trigger your brains "frequency following response". She has the ability to create a euphoric addiction to her total being similar to drugs, but without the side effects, she is in fact, like nothing I have ever experienced in the past, or more than likely to in the future. Extraterrestrials, If you have ever questioned whether there are extraterrestrials among us, you now know it to be true, it is the only explanation for this being, Apex of perfection Nothing she does is overdone, she is in fact the apex of perfection, Angelina Jordan.

Not my first time listening to Angelina Jordan. She is a spectacular talent. I thoroughly enjoy your commentary as well. You might also enjoy Faouzia...

Angelina owned this cover in my opinion 👌

completely agree about the reverb and harmonies...

Age is NOT congruent with upload date, OFTEN, OR USUALLY... SHE WAS MAYBE LATE 12 OR EARLY 13, THEY SAY

❤❤❤

You’re right… Nothing better than just pure Angelina no additives necessary! Lol! I hope you will listen to her singing Lana Del Rey!

The painting you see behind Angelina is one her grandma, Mery’s paintings.

Notice the painting behind her? Grandma Mery's work.

The video was uploaded 01.20.2019, 10 days after her 13th birthday 🙂

I want to say im tired of Angelina Mondays, but then you listen to her. It's incredible.

Thank YOU for explaining the overpowering, distracting reverb. I literally thought the speakers on my TV were causing the problem, so I clicked the "audio" option in the menu and shut off the "surround sound" option. When that didn't help, I realized this song was recorded with the reverb. I still enjoyed the song and gave you a thumbs up!

Again, I agree on everything you say... Personalliy, this is prolly one of covers I like the least.. specially the harmonybit... just throws me off every time...🤔 When it comes to age... I think she was just 13. This was before AGTchampions. When it comes to less fortunate... that's the reason ANGELina's always perform barefoot... the barefoot girl she meet and gave her shoes to, wanted to become a doctor, but she thought she never would, because of where she was living and where she at.... ANGELina does it to remind herself and us about all those less fortunate.. BTW. when're U having a live again.. I need the laughs 😁

well done -------------------thanks

You need to hear her singing l rather go blind:)

Thanks for another wonderful reaction with this unique and incredible girl, Boudy. It's constant in Angelina's interpretations that her musical vision always transcends the ordinary and that she manages to give an interpretative reading that makes us understand and love the songs better, regardless of her age. This gorgeous girl is not only immensely talented, but she also has musical knowledge and analytical skills beyond my comprehension. Her version of this song is mind blowing, with hers scales, low tones and the wonderful sweetness of her voice, Angelina's perfect imperfections surpass John Legend's. 💛🧡❤

When you check the age of a YT video, you really should hover on the text indicating how long ago it was uploaded, or click on it, to see the actual upload date (based on U.S. Pacific Time). Because a video uploaded "4 years ago" could actually be up to just shy of 5 years old. (In this case, the video was posted approximately 4 years and 7 months ago, and thus, as others have pointed out, allowing for some time for editing, the video could well have been recorded when she was still 12.) But whatever.😁

Even i hope see your new reaction every day but its okay for monday angelina, its like charging batery, good and great reaction. Speaking about john legend i hope you would react mindfield (duet with faouzia)

😇😇😇🥰🥰🥰

Is it possible that the beautiful divinity of the universe is singing itself back to us? Just a thought. Rb

When God would ask me: What kind of people want you in the world around you, i think, my answer could be, people that are like AJ.

Angelina had her eyes closed a lot of the time THATS OFTEN WHEN THE MAGIC HAPENS

😀😀😀😀😀

She was actually 12 here, almost 13

When are we going to see you react to more of AJ's EP? I can't wait to see your face when you review her songs "Good In Goodbye's" & "Diamond" my 2 favorits from this awesome EP. Plus I'm still waiting for my request of Ren & Sam Tompkins - Earned It/Mans World/Falling live mash-up performance you promised me you'd react to. 🤷‍🎶🙏🙏🤞😁❤❤

Why cant you react to two every monday? Please!😅❤ If not you can start having Norwegian mondays. Aurora,AJ,Ylvis,AHA,Susanne Sundfør,Madrugada and more😂

Love your reactions, thanks! Please get to more of "Old Enough" SOON! You know the videos detract from her singing as much as a poor backing track...(or is it a regional copyright thing?) Thanks ;~)

💞💞💞💞

💯

Greatly appreciate your commentary concerning children whose environment doesn't allow them to pursue their talents. After learning about Angelina and Alma Deutscher, (current day classical music composer), The Warning and there are many more prodigies, I wondered how many children, especially girls, who have the natural talent but were unable to use it. Thoughts such as that, make Angelina as a person, much more meaningful. She, and her family, have always preferred Angelina to sing at events which help raise money for charity. May her efforts help the children of the world throughout her life and I encourage everyone to support Angelina and all charities to help their fellow humans.

❤️❤️❤️bless you

Please listen to Koji Tamaki singing "Ikanaide", which you liked so much when done by Dimash. Tamaki is the composer of the song. I especially recommend the 1989 performance.

Hi Boudy. You sure the backing vocal is a computer harmonizer and not John's own voice? Could be wrong but I got the feeling it is. I listened to John's original. 👍👏❤️👋

I don’t love Mondays so thank you and all the AJ patreons so much for your AJ Mondays. I need this drop of heaven. 🐚🙏🏼🪽 That would be cool to hear her and John duet this song.

Angel.ina 😇🙏❤️❤️❤️

She’s just so wonderful! Have you listened to her recent cover ‘You Say’ by Lauren Daigle. Its so heart wrenchingly beautiful.

👍👍💙💙💙

Review her forever I saw your face. You will cry

She's 12 here.

Absolutely agree that the backing track, both the excessive loudness of the piano and the kinda wierd sounding harmonies, detracted from the overall production. Her angelic voice and breathtaking talent deserve better than that. It would be amazing and wonderful if she would consider doing an update of this with better music support. I would also LOVE to see her do an update of "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face", and it would be a dream come true to see her do the latter accompanied by Ivan Mendez.

Yes, that's just a karaoke track 😄 And I don't think anybody wants to be up against her in a karaoke competition 😁

This is wonderful, but I the piano track was 50% too loud.

We could at least give those unfortunate children our shoes.

First

I made a version with a lower level backing track. You might hear her a little better on it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mrCkd9mQvbuzpoE.html

second!

Please react to "kelmti horra" by Emel Methlouthi, Nobel Price concert, thx Salam

Yep, my least fav, but Angelina did it well. I don't like j. Legend, his wife, or anyone connected to him. He is on the dark side. Hope Angelina can handle or avoid the evils of the so called, elite. Great reaction! 😎🇺🇲👍💯🌟 I'll sub for Angelina and your great reactions. 👀 I'll be watching!

Just my opinion. Better❗️😇🌺

Dear Arab Man, I wonder if you're a man of faith. (You sound to me like you are, but I don't want to make assumptions - ) Let me just say that I am a person of strong faith , and here's what I believe is true- As you talk about existential discussions... and people with tremendous gifts that may not have opportunities to show what they can do - I truly believe that God has gifted everyone in different ways, but that they're not all for universal recognition, but some are to make a difference right where they are - in our own little worlds. I believe that however God meant for them to be used will happen- we'll get the right resources and the right opportunities (including "coincidences") to lead us into however our gifts are to be used- as long as WE show up, and do OUR work (practicing and growing our gifts as best we can). So we should just use our gifts liberally within whatever outreach opens up to us. If they bless ONE PERSON, the world is a better place! -Now, it looks like Angelina is supposed to reach the whole world with this tremendous gift she's been given- she not only has been born with the amazing skills she has, but in a family with wisdom and with means... and she's been able to travel... and she's got both the looks and the personality to not only attract people, but to truly touch their hearts, and souls. AND she's been born with the heart, and tremendous desire, to help the world- and to SING!!! (-AND, she, too, is a person of strong faith, so she'll be able to tap into that Supernatural Guidance to lead her down the right path! We should pray for her protection and direction~)

❤❤❤
