Stay is one of my favorites. It's hard to believe that a 12 year old could have so much maturity, not only in her tone, but in her choices of delivery. You mentioned her vibrato.... I have never heard any singer that is so "perfect" with vibrato. In my experience there are the singers that can't do vibrato, and then there are the singers that _can_ do vibrato (and then over-use it in everything they do). Angelina can lay in some of the most beautifully subtle vibrato... sometimes so subtle it almost imperceptible. Other times it is right in your face (see Summertime at NGT). Angelina has such control with every tool in her arsenal. I'm glad you did this one, and got to hear yet another facet to her voice. You still have many, many more to hear!

Wow! I literally feel the texture of her voice. Like anxiety, hanging on every word she sings.

This one is the best for me. The breathy way she sings sometimes and raw voices comes out of her😇

Guitar guy is in heaven every time he accompanies her.

the guitarist is Ivan Mendez. He is pretty amazing also.

I’m a grandmother and I cannot get enough of her beautiful singing and her many expressions. Whenever I need to be inspired and feel down, she just lifts my spirits. I absolutely love hearing and watching her perform. What a prodigy!

There are so many "experts" out there, that have nothing to say about, what they react to. It is so enjoyable, that you have intelligent reactions, and reactions that shows deep knowledge of music and singers. Keep it up. I will follow you from now. Angelina is amazing. I have never continued to listen to singers, for more than 2-3 weeks. Then I feel I have had enough of them, at least for a while. With Angelina it's different. I have seen her music here on youtube, for the last 6 months, and have seen a good deal of her videos, again and again and... One never gets enough of her voice. She never gets boring, and she has that ability to hit ones emotions, completely unfiltered. Even comparing her with much older world famous singers, she is right up there, with the very best. Amazing.

Ivan Mendez is an especially attentive, sensitive, accompanying guitarist, you'll see that communication between them frequently, often it's just a glance from Angelina, but he's right with her. I retired to Spain in 2011 and have been to many small-venue, intimate, live performances. Not all accomplished guitarists accompany well. I've observed some very good guitarists who can't, or don't, accompany their singer worth a damn. Angelina is fortunate to have found Ivan, and it's obvious that he appreciates the talent that she possesses. It's a great pairing.

Excellent reaction Thank you

And no matter how many times you hear her sing any of these songs, it never ceases to amaze you. Or at least it is that way with me.

Couple of months ago, I saw her video, " I put a spell on you", just out of curiosity. The rest is history!!

Fantastic reaction 🏆🏆 thanks 👏 Can't take my eyes off You next???🙂

This is in my top 3 performances from her, prefer this to the original 💯👌👍

Her take of a Million Years ago will blow you away - again in this stripped down arrangement just with her guitarist - heartbreaking beautiful.

Angelina can draw so much more from a song, and show it you in a way you never imagined - but she did.

Adam you are spot on...I also feel her timing is impeccable and you can tell that Ivan Mendes knows her well....if u enjoyed "Stay " u will absolutely love "A million years ago" also with Ivan...a stunning display of soulful, hauntingly beautiful vocals!!!

She can sing the phone book and put a spell on you at the same time😁

Adam, wow, wow, wow! That's what I call a great reaction! (And, I've heard a million of them!) Some reactors have said that wearing head phones when listening to Angelina is absolutely another treasure. Do you agree? Adam, yes, after a couple of notes she captures the listener. It is so extraordinary. She is truly one of a kind. A genius? It would be very hard to deny that fact.

She did a cover of Always On My Mind as a tribute to her grandpa after he passed away. I have watched it a hundred times and it always brings me to tears. Her soul seems to sing to our souls. I love her covers so much! She has now written some of her own songs! I am in awe! Thank you for your reactions on the Angelina trail! : * )

SHE'S SO SPECIAL

A great reaction to her hypnotic voice that reaches deep into your soul.

i had a little chat with Ivan Mendez not long ago, i sent him a msg regarding a AJ reactor who had made some reactions to his own stuff, he is very humble as well and he said Angelina is one of the most talented musicians he has ever seen, note he didnt say singer but musician i think that says a lot about their work together =)

Angelina is a jazz singer through and through. It doesn't matter what she's singing, her jazz roots shine through. Enjoy the ride, dude, you're gonna love it. Every note she sings is on purpose and deliberate.

Angelina fans are highly motivated and one of our great pleasures is watching knowledgeable reactors discover her. Good job!

Thank you for the great reaction! Much appreciated.

Man,great reaction,don't stop.

Wicked game

Her vibrato is like a touch of icing on a cake; too much and its just sugar overload and spoils the experience!

also her cover of the show must go on by Queen is a master class of how to cover Freddie

Yep you're hooked like the rest of us..😄

I love when she sing Yellow brick road, its probably on your list :)

this is my favorite cover she does. all o them with Ivan on guitar are great, as most everything else she does is as well. lol

Reading the lyrics yet delivering... what a pro...

Yes she's 12 here, and you'll see that mike a lot as you continue your Angelina journey. She got it as a gift at 12. The guitarist is Ivan Mendez who has accompanied Angelina in the U.S. for her acoustic performances, and her other long time guitarist Egil Claussen in Norway has been with he since age 6. In any case, Angelina turns her listeners into jelly immediately. She is my great stress reliever and can bring my levels down from 10-0 in a heartbeat. I think you experienced that in the first 5 seconds. "Stay" is one of her most popular performances, and always recommended for reactions. You mentioned "smokiness," so here's a description by a fan that really describes it. "She is dark chocolate, deep and aromatic with rich cherry's and swirling velvet smokiness." Thanks for another great Angelina reaction, and I will be looking forward to more.

I love your reactions and professional comments! :-D

Your reaction videos of Angelina are superb. The insight you provide in your analysis is so thoughtful and professional. But I can tell that you've become fond of the treasure that is really not easy to define or describe. Thank you so much for staying with Angelina music.

👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Yes, Angelina was all of 12 years old here. I think it's pretty safe to say that you understand why so many of us Angelina fans love her. I'm looking forward to your next Angelina reaction already!

Yes, I could tell you were being won over after your first couple reviews, but this threw you over the edge. And it will continue as you listen to more. You will hear her do other styles beautifully, but acoustic Angelina is stunning. She doesn’t perform-she lives the lyrics and she’s singing to you. So often, Angelina just sings it better, more sincerely than the original artist. She is the best interpreter of lyrics I’ve heard. If you’re ready to hear another amazing acoustic gem, Angelina’s version of “A Million Years Ago” just buries Adele’s version, in my opinion. And it’s like this one-no studio, no mixing. Just Angelina, a mic, and a perfect guitar backing. But, I understand you appreciate the art of singing, so my recommendation for your next review is “I’m Still Holding out for You”. It’s a completely different, haunting style that you’ve not heard. It’s soulful Angelina full throttle, even though she recorded it when she was 10 years old. It’s one of the best songs I’ve heard-with a wrenching, emotional finish that no ten year old should be able to lead us through, but she just kills it. One warning: after you react as you did today, don’t say “this is my favorite Angelina song” because...well, you know why now.

Thank you for another great Angelina reaction. One of the many things I love about Angelina and Aurora is that they do not belt and do vocal gymnastics in every song, even though they both can do so very comfortable if they want, instead they use it sparingly and goes for the heart of the lyrics rather then a big musical show and makes us feel the song. A little tip, on these old acoustic videos, wait to pause it and see it all the way to the end, when she sings the child disrepair, but she turns into the child again in the last few seconds. I suggest her covers of You make me feel so young, All of Me (Billie Holiday Cover), Moon River and The Show Must Go.

She knows how to work with her musicians just as Elvis Presley did, but she is instinctively able to do it at such an insanely young age. Also, her vibrato reminds me so much of Elvis Presley's naturally-born vibrato as well. Is Norway actually another planet?

I have to say most of A.J covers are far more enjoyable than the originals

Bellísima voz e interpretación

More I listen to Angelina Jordan I love her talent more and more. She is so magical with her voice!! I am looking forward to buy all of her music!!!

Angelina is not about high and low notes. It is her interpretation of the emotion in each song. She stirs emotions in her audience, The other young singers aren't in the same league as our angel. [

your 4th reaction maybe cover of Ella Fitzgeralds time we say good bye ,,,,,,, your reactions start to be more deep and soulful as you experience Angelina more and more and i hope that one day you will forget her as just a singer but something more which is very difficult to describe and is very individual ,,,,,,,,any how thank you for reaction and till next,,,,,,

Thanks for the new beautiful and exhaustive reaction, Adam, this is one of the most exciting covers of Angelina, I sincerely believe that this version is better than the Rihanna version, they are both very beautiful, but surely that of Angelina, without mixing, recorded at home, with the simple guitar of Ivan Mendez to accompany it with much discretion (as always), it is an incredible emotional interpretation, especially considering that it is a 12 year old girl who sings it with a sweet and scratched voice, absolutely unique and without particular games vowels.😊 ❤️ 😊 Angelina has a natural ability to impart the depth of warmth to her interpretations, regardless of previous interpreters.

Have you seen her performances on Norway got talent?

Thank u Adam for another awesome reaction 🙏🙏👍👍💙💙u have seen nothing from her yet there are still so many songs from her left for u but my suggestion for u are a million years ago California dreaming I am still holding out for u man's world I will survive and 3 songs which she sang in agt and of course show must go on much love from germany

Great reaction to this outstanding cover by Angelina! I will definitely be waiting your next reaction to her 😉

Genius!!! 100%. I agree with everything you said. Nothing fancy, just Angelina with her guitarist Ivan Mendez and a good mic. This is a song about Rihanna’s on and off relationship with Chris Brown. The emotions that Angelina puts in this performance are off the chart as if she was in that relationship. Rihanna put this song on the charts. Angelina moved it up into the stratosphere. Thank you for your reaction and keep up the good work.

What i find weird .. is that most of the covers done by her, i notice the lyrics like i didnt do before. Like this song .. now its 10x sadder

Oh I would love to see a reaction to “wicked game” it’s chilling.

Loved your reaction. You mentioned something I’ve only heard one other reactor say, that the beauty was in the simplicity. Another reactor has commented on her vibrato. I think they called it a period or backwards vibrato. One used in an era a while ago. Her guitarist is Ivan Mendez. A very talented musician and singer in his own right. His KZfaq channel is Ivanlives.

thats your fav , well sir just wait you will have many many favs again and again till you decide that most are your favs

You are right on with your analysis. Angelina's genius in her singing is her ability to adjust her tone and style to match the intent and meaning of the song. She has earned the nickname among her fans of "Girl of 1000 voices", because of her ability to sound completely different depending on the song she is singing. Whenever she adds ornamentation to a song it is only when the story of the music requires it. I have never heard her add anything extraneous to a song just for the purpose of adding it. if belting is required, she will belt, but only if it furthers the intent and meaning of the song. If a run, or a sustained note, or a whisper are required, she will use those elements. The more of her music you hear, the more you will recognize this about her. With regard to the guitarist, his name is Ivan Mendez. He is an accomplished musician and singer in his own right and he is her preferred accompanist when she is in LA. His social media persona is "Ivan Lives" and you can see some of his own work here - kzfaq.info/love/bzvZo4L40llG5ui6Gt41gg. If you want to hear even more variations in Angelina's tone and vocal approach to songs, I highly recommend the following selections: "Cry me a River" - 11 years old - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oLxoe6yHsZi6dHk.html - Outdoor concert with a jazz band. Very sultry and smooth jazz club vibe. "This is a Man's World" - 12 years old - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fqudatd419Cte58.html - Outdoor concert with the Norwegian Military band. James Brown R&B sound with belting and running - sustains an E6 and runs down an octave from there in full chest voice. "Shield" - 12 years old - original song - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/orekiMWHsMiUpqc.html - Live Television performance of her 3rd original. James Bond theme meets smooth Jazz song. "A Song for A" - 12 years old - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eNVjoMuptbORpXU.html - Original composition by Nico Cartosio, written specifically for her to sing and be included as the only vocal selection on his instrumental album - Tremendous classical and poetic song. Unbelievable classical delivery "Above the Water" - 13 years old - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r5yDnM-o07iWipc.html - Dance music video - Full on Electronic Dance Music - Angelina was specifically invited to sing this original song by the writers "What is Life" - 11 years old - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eNxgpZposLSbgnU.html - First original song - Acoustical version, just her and a pianist. Awesome light jazz feel. "A million years ago" - 12 years old - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h658p72CmNmtp3k.html - Acoustic Adele cover - shows off her low tones. hits her low of C#3 in this one.

I so agree! She's so talented but a big part of it is her control and her way of interpreting the songs - she never falls into the trap of overly belting or overly vibrato even though she can belt too. Some artists seem to feel that they have to overdo it like "look, I can do this, lok, it's loud!" Loud has it's place but Angelina knopws exactly when to use her voice in a certain way - and she infuses everything with so much soul and it makes her utterly hypnotic.

When I saw the title of this one, I thought back to your first Angelina reaction and your commentary on that one, and all could thing was, 'Man, he's gonna love this', and boy, was I right! And why not? This is one of the best, most emotional songs she does, though it's up in the air between this one and many others, such as 'A Million Years Ago', 'California Dreaming', or 'All Of Me', just to name a few. It was also nice to see you comment on Ivan Mendez's work on the guitar, as well as the chemistry between him and Angelina. I agree with everything you said, especially in regards to the look on his face when Angelina sings, and how he seems to become completely lost in how remarkable she is.Watching his reactions in these sweet little home sessions is one of the real joys of the whole experience for me. He looks the way I feel. There really isn't much I've envied in others over the course of (to me) a surprisingly long and varied life, but his musical association with Angelina is one of those few things. Ah, well....cie la vie. Another fine reaction. You're definitely down the rabbit hole now. Have a good time.

She kills it when she sings, The Show Must Go On, by Queen. TALENT!!!!!!!!!!!

She does sing in different ways, but if you like this look out for the songs with Ivan Mendez in the thumbnail. They are fantastic, because they have that relationship. I would like to point out something that might surprise, this has not been heavily rehearsed. If you watch carefully she checks the words more than once and I think she’s scrolling it on her phone.

Welcome to the club bra !! She is an absolute virtuoso!! I really think she is a gift to the world. Effortless natural talent

Jazz club, smokey voice. Perfect reaction for Angelina's arrangement. You are excellent reactor. Thanks

Of all the pieces Angelina has done, I really like these performances where it is just her and one of her guitarists. Ivan Mendez (in this one) and Egil Clausen have been working with Angelina for years, literally watching her grow up as a young woman and as a performer. There is an intimacy in these performance that comes from that deep friendship, understanding, and trust between the artists and which extends to include the listener. They are also done in one take, no edits, so very much as though you're being treated to a private concert performance. No matter how many times I hear her sing, she totally captures my attention the minute she opens her mouth and I'm mesmerized the whole time she is singing.

First you go in the debt with Auroras music. Now Angelina. Thank you Adam!

I don't know the original so can't really comment that much, except to say that if you like her voice on this song you will love her versions of A Million Years Ago and Someone Like You.

Adam, thank you again for a lovely reaction to Angelina, you gave me a new appreciation for this cover with your insights into her performance. Keep up the good work!

just another masterpiece from Angel Angelina....

This one is in the 10 best of hers in my book and I can’t hear it too much. I love this child genius.

Another reactor said that if you are an artist with a hit tune and Angelina decides to cover it, you better look out because she might just do it better than you did. I think that's true. No matter what it is, she makes it her own and she kills it. She puts another perspective on the song and she makes you think. She applies emotion to the song and gives it meaning. Ivan Mendez is the guitarist and he does a LOT of her US made covers. She has another guy she uses a lot when in Norway. I forget his name but you'll see him in many of her videos.

One of my favorites too. There are so many to choose from. Two others that are with texture that I believe you would love are Born to Die by Lana del Rey A Million Years Ago by Adele

Your reactions to Angelina are really great. I can see and hear you really love music and you can worship good performances. There are still so many songs you can discover and I am keen to follow you on this road. When you react to her performances on Norway got talent, please make sure to react to thr onres with subtitles and warch until the end. The judges comments are worth to watch.

Simple. A vocal artist and a talented guitarist. Added together, you have this performance that draws out words like “gorgeous” and “wow”.

Wow is right. The quality is simply flawless and fascinating. The fact that she has dozens of songs at this caliber is even more baffling. Then add that she is about the most adorable human ever............???? What is one to think but she is the GOAT, period.

Adam, you are in for a treat when you delve into Angelina's playlist. A song with similar emotionality is her cover of A Million Years Ago. Eventually you will want to explore her earlier works in an attempt to fathom how she can be so accomplished at s7ch a young age. Enjoy the quality of your reaction and look forward for future Angelina reactions.

Angelina has been singing since she was 3,4,5 and competing since about 7 or 8. I can't wait until she's in her 20s. She's gonna take the world by storm.

She makes you want to " stay " ........So beautiful:-)))

She seems to have a pure sound, because I am not a fan of so many people they compare her to, she is my first introduction to so many songs, and I don't see how it could be sung better

AMEN to the vibrato part. I so agree with you. To much of of it is ruining songs. But Angelina does it so right, with depth and warmth.

Very astute and well stated. You have quickly wended your way to her essence that the legion of fans respond to. I Put a Spell on You and AGT Bohemian Rhapsody are the common gateway drugs. At 9 she is untethered displaying what a singular prodigal talent she is. At 13 she cleverly constructs a sublime AGT performance chock full of runs and the obligatory high note tailored to woo in mere minutes the home audience and judges with transcendental result. Now that you have a glimpse of what she can do select your next reactions based on what strikes your mood. Anything with a guitarist with her in the thumbnail is wonderful. The heartfelt Always on My Mind, stripped bare Wicked Game, EDM track TRXD Above the Water or Whitney’s I Have Nothing just because at 12 she felt like belting out one of the most difficult of songs are just a snapshot of her range.

You're reactions are very deep. I appreciate the clarity you provide. It's very hard to come up with different adjectives to describe her. Ivan is my favorite musician who accompanies her. Watch her sing with Alan Walker. Thank you!

Another brilliant reaction, thanks so much for sharing! I hope you got the patience to do loads more from her. Its clear you got a good ear for music, and I would love for you to hear and experience all of her genius. Not all her performances is as stunning as this one, but you will find something special in almost all of them. Her emotions, her runs, her notes, her interpretation, her control, her storytelling, etc. There is always something special that will captivate and impress. Thanks again and see you in the next one :)

Angelina's natural voice + Ivan mendez guitar = Overwhelming // just 2 or 3 seconds into the song is more than enough to capture any viewer's attention and stay to the end, making you hold off on anything you're doing at that moment = Angelina effect.

Everything she sings she respects she does change things but just in her style she is a on e of no one can touch our Angelina she has so many styles to her voice she is heaven sent please react to When your smiling it starts in a class room it's a fun song and videos you will love it I promise love from Yorkshire ❤️😘👋XX

I truly believe it’s time for you to react to “A Song for A”. This will give you her pure voice without any inflections or influences. It will show how incredible and complete she is as an artist. Again I wish to compliment you on your understanding of her voice and abilities your acumen is outstanding and needed. There are many more Angelina’s within her as you will find.

Could I please ask for 'California Dreamin ' ? - very underrated cover from Angelina, my favourite. And yes, she is a genius, and probably not just musically....

Happy to see you are following the Angelina track! 🥰 I have so many favs by her. It’s so difficult to choose just one or two videos of hers. I will just “sit steady in the boat” ( Norwegian saying) and watch you go down the rabbit hole. It will be entertaining and amusing! 😏❤️

Hi there! Thanks for your great react to Angelina Jordan, with so valuable comments about A.J.'s evolution. I admire her constant work in what is her dream since she was 1.5 y.o. You are about to start an amazing musical journey which is kind of privilege following a star from her early beginnings till now, and counting 😊. However the most important in Angelina, further than her amazing musical skills, is her enormous quality as human being. We could say that God was not wrong when blessed Angelina with her skills as musician , so He gifted her with the best a human can be. You will love her. See you in next reacts. Stay safe and healthy. Peace & Hugs from Barcelona - Spain.

With Angelina, every note, every phrase, and every sound is a masterful work of art.

Next. Bohemian Rhapsody. I'm dying to hear your comments on that one. 👍

Well done, keep on going through A J's list. She is wonderful !!! Thank you for your reaction.

Nobody compares to Angelina ...she’s a poet , painter genius ❤️

you can tell she's listened to lots of old school jazz just by the spacing and delivery of the phrasing

You're absolutely right, Angelina is a joy to me. Thank you! Angelina.

She makes me cry all the time. This song. Makes me think about every painful fight I had. I never cried then but she makes cry about it now.

Great reaction and analysis. Dang, now I want to hear Angelina cover Dusty Springfield, perhaps one day! Angelina has released three originals, Shield, What is Life, and Oslo. All are excellent and amazing works for such a young artist. Currently Angelina is in Los Angeles 'in quarantine' and writing more original songs . . . I can't wait to hear what she comes up with.

Love your comments, you should listen to her do "This is a man's world, she is a child protege, love this kid, there so much soul in her voice, it always move me ... thank you!

If you like this one you'll love her renditions of 'California Dreaming' and 'Wicked Game'.

Great reaction with valuable insights. I recommend Shield or The Show Must Go On for your next reaction. Keep ‘em coming!

makes me feel lucky to have ears

the last three "stay" completely melt my heart

"I mean Wow!"..yep! The variations will continue. You will find new favorites and then realize your past faves haven't diminished. Favorite becomes an inadequate word when you like so many. She does this song with so much more emotion than Rihanna. You truly feel this. It goes right through you. She does better than Adele on A Million Years Ago, better than Lana del Rey on Born to Die... Her originals are exceptional as well. Haha. As I was writing this more and more songs came to mind. Rusty's list is useful. There are some suggestions below. Any works for me. Glad you're on this journey. I like what you have to say. Enjoy!
