"That's her sound." Hmmm. We know she's always been "the girl of 1,000 voices". I think her "sound" will continue to reflect context, mood, and a multitude of other variables. "Bad Valentine" will be her "sound" next week, I hope. Glad the R- man is there to keep you honest..lol.

PLEASE do "I'm a bad Valentine". IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!!!!!!!!!🎆🤯

"Bad Valentine" from James Thiel's channel next Monday?

Must listen to Bad Valentine. It is epic. Angelina scorched the ground.❤❤❤❤👣

Just wait until you hear her original with Toby Gad..."Bad Valentine"!!!! IMHO it's her BEST!!!!!!!

time to get to the Bad Valentine. You though Unchained Melody was best until the church version of this. well, Bad Valentine is at a different level. just released. It's with Gad as well. I have a feeling it will be a whole album with Gad in September and not just the completion of her EP. Don't jump to what her sound is until you hear Bad Valentine.

First time Boudy has ever been wrong in a reaction I'm sure 🙂. Still love this version of the instrumentation AND the cool London streets in a hoodie vibe of the music video - the kids'll love it! Air Angelina is now taxiing for takeoff into the stratosphere of public awareness and acclaim, no doubt - especially when BAD VALENTINE gets released. WHAT a brilliant song and performance!!!Hope hope hope you react to it next Monday Boudy, but if you do,make sure your seatbelt is securely attached!! 😇😇😇😇

" Bad valentine " Buckle up Boudy. Its Angelina in a nutshell. I got chills just typing this. She just demolished her competition. This beautiful 18 year old young lady opens her mouth and fire comes shooting out. 🧯🔥🔥🔥

Houston. We have lift-off!!! 🥲

It's like how her mother was quoted after AJ sang On NGT . Sara said she was filled with joy and sadness. Joy for Angelina and sad that now she would have to share AJ with the world. PS like the church version better.

This should have a million views. This means our baby has grown up and all of us supporters will sink into the masses. Yes, I feel it like you. The sound is full. The production is excellent. Looks like Toby is that last piece to move our girl forward. I treasure all the obscure videos of her as a young girl. The guitar only accompaniment. Trouncing the originals. Singing Christmas songs leaning on a piano. Singing on a couch. Blasting a sedate Norwegian audience to their feet. Hundreds of these videos. What is weird for me is that despite her clear superiority, people don’t want to be told that they should like her. It is as if to become her fans people need to come to her alone. A bit like religious belief.

I'm very happy to say that I called this one! I noted in another reaction that I was 99% sure that it was the same vocal track with different instrumentation and mixing. And I'm not even musically talented, just someone who has loved listening to music my entire life (I'm 66 now). Speaking strictly for myself, I prefer the acoustic version, and NO I don't hate the more contemporary pop/indie styling of this version. I can absolutely see where this video, and this mix would speak much more to the younger generations. I agree with you Bouda, that it's not about what we want, it's about what she and her family want, and are mapping out for her coming future success, and building a platform for Angelina to use that has lasting impact musically, giving her a legacy of doing exactly what she wants: to spread love and light and understanding among all of us on this little blue ball. I've been waiting, as have so many of us angels, for her first actual album to drop for a couple of years now, and I still have no idea when it will be. Her collaborations with so many of the top writers, and producers, though can only bode well for the absolute pinnacle of quality that Angelina deserves. Many blessings to you and yours! Much love from Wisconsin!

Toby and AJ are going to be at the Herb Albert Jazz Club in LA on June 20

Without being cliché, and also stealing a quote from one of the NGT judges, “You are music” …. She most definitely is. Boudy, , you said once in one of your reactions that “she is just cut different from us, all of us “ I don’t remember which video that was but, I appreciate that you have a genuine appreciation for her. You’re unable to hide it…. lol! With your appreciation of music, and without sensationalizing anything whatsoever, pretty sure that you’ll agree that Angelia is a special piece of music history… There may be some that just do not get it, but I’m super appreciative to be around to experience her. We are blessed.

"Bad Valentine" I cannot wait to see what you think. Another step another sound. I would bet at some time in the future we will get a Jazz album. Stevie Ray Vaughn tapped into the rock and roll crowd and brought back the blues and there are a lot of similarities between these two performers. All The Best

Ramzi speaks!! Personally I don't spend any time comparing vocals as Angelina's voice always captures my heart.

You are as right as rain my friend. AJ is the best female vocalist in the world! Nobody conveys emotion in a song like AJ and I mean nobody. Now it’s up to the music industry to recognize her abilities and her genius. Will they do that? I don’t know. They haven’t so far . We will see when the next Grammy’s come around if she gets any awards or recognition. I have my doubts. She’s a great human being, not addicted to drugs, not political and not controversial. All the things that the current “Stars” all seem to be. Maybe I am wrong but so far she is being ignored by the music press . We shall see. AJ FOREVER

Just wait till you hear Bad Valentine! James Thiel has released it with permission of Toby Gad. This is a song that is adapted extremely well to Angelina's strengths. It is jazzy Blues and soulful and I think represents what she should be doing going forward. Even more so than this one.

I want to listen to this song on the radio . ❤

Bad Valentine with Toby will BLOW your mind, now my all-time favourite track and not just AJ's !!!

You've just said everything I was thinking; this song checks all the boxes. This video could be the one that puts the worldwide spotlight on Angelina Jordan. ❤

if the general public take up this song in the same manner that all the reactors have ( I have never seen so many reactors reacting to a song) then she must achieve world wide fame

She said that Sony Publishing Company organized herself and Toby Gad to work together. She obviously knew who Toby was already before but didn't know him personally. Now they have begun to write also original material together. "Bad Valentine" was played live in LA and it was absolutely magnificient in my opinion (great blues vibe there). That song and maybe some other songs will be released in September. Toby said they already have written a bunch of songs together.

Angelina has a legion of devoted KZfaq creators supporting her journey and you are one of the best Boudy, even when you're wrong!🤣🤣

I don’t think anyone has mentioned; but, this is her snapping her fingers. She always does that with great force. Rhythmic! 😇🌺

Boundy, After following Angelina for some time, her voice has matured like fine wine. I have a question about Republic Records: Will her records be played on the radio? Here in Las Vegas, there is one Jazz Station on the campus of UNLV that also plays contemporary music. I have called every week and I request a cut from "I'm Old Enough" and the station management replied, "They have to hear from Republic Records or Angelina Jordan represented." So Angels please call Republic Records to put nationwide coverage of Angelina's music! Thank you AB for your support and continue Angelina Jordan Monday's!

Hey Boudy as I said in a comment to another reaction. I have some new thoughts on this. The more I look at this team the more excited I get. I like many had no idea who Toby Gad is. I learned about him after her first performance with him. Another Powerhouse Writer Producer who has worked with only the best of the Industry past and present. Diane Warren another legend visited with Angelina but little came of it. This is very different than that. Angelina and Toby have declared they are working on original material together that they hinted would be available this fall. We are all of course hoping is the long awaited Album. Some predictions in the past have failed to materialize as predicted. Let's hope this is not the same. And I've been thinking about the timing which would be brilliant. Many have mentioned a release in September would be to late to qualify for this years Grammys. What if that is the plan. We already have two Grammy worthy releases with 'If I Were a Boy' and 'Bad Valentine out right now which will be eligible this year. Produced and performed by two powerhouse singer/songwriters/producers in Angelina and Toby. All of the songs on the album would be eligible for the following year's Grammys. At least in this scenario. If one or both songs win a Grammy think about the runway that would have for a Full year and from the very same powerhouse duo. Having already won they will both be well known by then having already won the grammy(s). All of those new songs from tha new album will be eligible for those Grammys. They will be knocking on the door of the industry. Banging actually! I don't think she can be ignored anymore! Great reaction to a Beautiful song. 😉♥👣 One further thought. Hopefully the album is going to be more of the same or similar production. That being the case this is going to be the signature sound, style and voice that will be used to introduce Angelina to the World. This will be her sound, her style. It may be the signature sound, style and voice she will be associated with from this point on. Just a thought.😉♥👣

Boudy it's your Angelina Mondays and Shakes Friday Angelina Livestream and Tees Monday live streams etc that have really helped Angie on her mission to sing for the world.She said in an interview recently that there's a lot of ups and downs in the industry and you have to be tough and said she able to understand that so I don't worry so much for her She will ride this wve until it comes to shore...as a tsunami😂

Angelina sings If I Were A Boy Live at the Palladium, Toby Gad accompanies her on the piano.

Her low register ability is beyond that of any other female singer, and when you combine it with the power and running up the scale she does, the fullness of her presentation is mesmerizing to anyone listening. Emotionally, the only other singer who touches upon this way of penetrating the listener was her mentor, the great Billie Holiday, but no one else even comes close.

I will always think of you when I hear an Angelina song in the future. I have been a Monday follower for as long as you have been doing them. Your reactions and insight have been part of her climb to where she is, and I am sure Angelina knows that.

The Angel of Song spreading her wings in London !!!

The bridge hits harder on this version. Plus she looks more relatable here with her hair down in younger casual clothing. It's a cool place and we get to walk with her. Just a fantastic video! Still love the studio version with the strings and Toby's piano!

Boudi, Thanks for another great reaction and being human enough to say when you"ve gotten something wrong. I agree that we need to let her be free to express herself as her musical muses lead her. She'll have enough sparring to do with her record label over creativity. I'll be eagerly awaiting your next Angelina reaction.

You’re absolutely right Boudy. She is there, she has arrived!

She just keep turning out more great music

Boudy. All those people wanted to know her . They came to meet her all over. There were a lot of Artist death her out

Boudy, you will always be a part of Angelina’s journey..we all will 🙏

You can always put a spotlight on her music. Ill be watching, can't wait to see your reaction to Bad Valentine. It's soooo good

Aaaawwwweee! Proud papa talking😘 In the future when she does conserts and shows I think she will put some jazz, old music and stuff that she grew up singing. Thats who she is, it will be a good mix for all ages and people. ❤

Tank you for you human statement.

Agree. Toby reaching out to AJ for his Piano Diaries project, discovering her genius, and wanting to co-write and produce more songs-maybe an album?- is exactly what she wanted I think to launch her. They are magic together. Geniuses both who understand and complement one another.

Fantastic reaction, Boudy, I agree with you. And it's amazing to see how natural and easy it's for her to sing like this... and fill us with joy as we listen to her.💛🧡❤

Boudy, you will never stop being a part of Angelina's journey as part of her angels. But in your case, people need your know-how of the industry/production value, etc. that enlighten us so much ☺ Everything about Angelina's vocals, the video, the production, editing etc. is outstanding, though I confess this is not a favourite song of mine. But I agree this is a huge step for Angelina, teaming up with Toby. And in that sense, what you have to react to is their co-written, not officially released song "Bad Valentine". They played it as part of Jesse and Friends at The Hotel Cafe and let me tell you, I bet when you listen to it, you'll fall off your chair!!! It goes to show NOTHING is said and done with Angelina. She always manages to surprise you. You said that we "think or wish" she continues with her jazz roots. Well, my friend, "Bad Valentine" is just that. Here's a link to the video James Thiel put together with Toby's permission. IT MUST BE ON YOUR NEXT ANGELINA MONDAY, PLEAAAASE kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r7qarcuBuLzLpZc.html

Boudy, I'm convinced when you say she's found her sound now. This collaboration is going to vault her into where we all want to see her, topping charts and moving hearts around the world. I believe Angelina will never count success by number of downloads or sales, but by hearts and audience. She's unique, her sound is unique, and she can cover anything anytime she wants to in concerts, online, and will always give generously to us, her Angels. She's a blessing, plain and simple. Thanks for your AJ Mondays and all the insights and responses you share.

The next 20 songs will be "Thriller" big! We are about to witness "World changer" We all know it! All of us, we who have changed!

Snap Snap Snap.... It SNAPS!!!!! Thanks 🙏

All of this AND then Toby gives a live peak of “Bad Valentine”! It blows my mind! She can do anything!

Friend, listen to her new original " Bad Valentine" than you wil expirence her sound, it is out of this world!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤

I feel you on these comments, She is now on the top .Our barefoot Angelia, now the new Goddess of song, has arrived at the top of the music world with her concert in Vegas on the same stage that Elvis performed on and singed her name at the top of the board that all the artist have signed who performed there ,: as well as I just heard a commercial on TV where they used Angelina's original song,' Our Time ' during the commercial. She is the G.O,A.T, and she is well recognized by all in the music world

I have to say that this is absolutely one of my favourite reactions ,not only from you but from anyone. I totally get what you’re trying to say. It’s like a proud dad that has nutured his little girl for the world to totally take notice. Love, love the reaction. Very well done❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Great reaction we all feel like that but we will evolve with her, proud of our girl, she is just magical on a level that never existed before, her charism is off the charts, along with her beauty and the beauty of her heart, and that's before she opens her mouth and then the sun comes out. 💜💜💜👣💜💜💜

Hey everybody, ... Angelina's in the building !!!

Boudy, your reactions will continue to be valued. You will continue to introduce new fans to her music.

👍👍🩵👣💙👣🩵👣💙❤️&☮️ Greetings from Frankfurt.🍀

Angelina might not NEED the support of you and other "early" reactors, but she will still WANT it, and she will appreciate all of us Angels who were here to help lifting her higher, I think. Aww, now you made me cry... Keep 'em coming, we appreciate you, and you will never be superfluous to us, and watching you watching her, and really loving what she does, gives her music even more meaning. ❤

She will always need our support just knowing we're there. I believe that. We will always need your reactions. I think your amazing.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Boudy. ..You must be so happy… Well this is her Urbanization. As you know this is a part of London where it’s a mixed somewhat lesser expensive. Multi- Cultural. She needs to have ( Diamond) from her EP. Done in some sort of video like this. Younger people will take notice. Even though Americans are the biggest problem for her

❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉Aj🎉😊love you

There has to be some moment of current new Angelina moving forward in her own way. We get to hold on to her development days online with great nostalgia but we can't hold her to the cover days too much. That's gonna be hard for longtime fans. When she hits the high note in this it sounds like she's blowing out the proximity effect and the capsule is overblown. Is she using a dynamic mic and we're used to that Neumann condenser mic.

Brody, thanks---------keep pushing

Btw, when you react to ‘Bad Valentine’ I think you will need Ramzi to help you out of the studio😅 Youre not in for A treat but the best feeling you ever had❤

Love the depth (and yes, the humor as well -- e.g., Boudy vs. Ramzi) of your reactions. I've never chimed in before, but if you want to see a glimpse of what comes next after "If I were a boy" in the collaboration between Angelina and Toby Gad, you may want to make this live recording of their soon-to-be-released original, "Bad Valentine," what you do next week. Has almost a feeling of her saying, "So you wanna see what I can really do when surrounded by great musicians." ... Ramzi, you might need to use duct tape to keep Boudy in his seat for this one. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r7qarcuBuLzLpZc.html&ab_channel=JamesThiel (Shout out to James Thiel for the video).

Boudy, Once a week is not enough

she's a singer of other people's hit songs and that's fine; but to be great, she needs to write her own hit songs.

Nice reaction Boudy! This version is a much more commercial sounding song than the Piano Diaries Version. The instrumentation is very different but the song stills sounds great! Very interesting that this was directed and produced by Toby Gad! This song is made to be played on the radio. Nice that you called out and by your own man! LOL I asked Toby what song of Angelina convinced him to want to work with her? He replied back to me, "I saw the Got Talent performance and knew I had to work with her." I'm assuming he meant her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody. BREAKING NEWS! Toby Gad gave permission to KZfaqr James Thiel to release the Angelina Jordan song called Bad Valentine that he and Angelina had worked on together and performed at a small venue in L.A. It's currently not officially released and probably wanted to surprise the audience with something special. Please check it out! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r7qarcuBuLzLpZc.html

Sorry Ramzi,.... Boudy is never wrong...😁😁😂😂😁😁. I love both versions with the different instrumentation, making them unique it itself....Right here is a dynamic duo creating fantastic music together. If there was ever a great pairing in music, here it is right here. Great things to come, so so so happy for Angelina, she deserves everything that is coming in her wonderful life that she has shared with all of us for over 10 years. Cheers, my friend. Stay well. 🥰🥰

You speak about Angelina as a parent who has been guiding their child and one day you wake up and discover they're all grown up and leaving home.

Wonderful reaction as always! Now you need to check out her two live on stage videos of this song!

Thanks Boudy 😊 And Thanks Remsey 😜 Cant wait that you watch "Bad Valentine" Live ,which is her new Original...Video ist in YT...maybe next week ??? 😁 Crazy good and without production !!!

😀😀😀😀😀

She will always have her jazz roots and I think she will always have them in her music some how. There just there. It's a part of her person.

First of all: *haha hihi hehe* ... :D :D ... i LOVED to hear (and see) Ramzi the first time!! @Ramzi: great one. And cool pic of both of you. - i immediately did the same thing, when the upbeat version came out: and came to the same conclusion as Ramzi. Same take, diff. production. Boudy, loved to see you moved by this "she IS there"-thought. I think the same. She arrived. This is top notch production and style and HER (and Toby). I think you mustnt be sad, if she's the megastar she will be, whilst going on (I HOPE!!) with your AJ-Mondays, because the shared feeliings of listening to her, is the magic, right!?! Thats why the people feel so otherworldly when the view, feel, hear her LIFE -- TOGETHER! Thats what she wants: the world togetherness in love + kindness. And thats what you do her. Wouldnt it be dreamy if some day, when she is so big, has a bigger staff who could re-watch all the major AJ Supporter and pick them out... and she is going to get into contact with you guys, thanking you for your support (even your RETROSPECTIVE of her... !!!) , talking about "old times" before she blew up and stuff ... I think that could be possible keeping her kind and thankful humble personality in mind. ... Well, Angie lets us dream , right ... Dream on , have a good rest Monday and a good night.

Great Reaction and Analysis 👍🙏👣💯😎

Time for your annual haircut!!!!... I think there are 4 performance videos out there...

This guitar player loves the guitar sound!

Thank you for your reaction to Angelina Jordan singing with Toby Gad the songwriter. The raspiness is a vocal effect that she has used since she was 7 years old. Listen to her version of Gloomy Sunday from Norway Gots Talent and you can hear the judges commenting on the rasp.

You are part of her musical growth and your input with insight has been excellent. Angelina knows of your contributions and analysis....as she has taken all of the council and advice from professionals like yourself to add to her phenomenal growth.

Wow!! Can't say you don't have your heart in it. AJ is lucky to have your contribution. Boy are you going to love 'Bad Valentine'. The pair work well.

You have to react to the new song "Bad Valetine" written by Angelina in collaboration with Toby. Live performance, POWER!

Thank you for supporting AJ. She is incredible. 1 1/2 years ago I asked Toby to do a song with Angelina. Maybe he was inspired by my comment.

Thanks for all you are doing for Angelina and us!!!

Boudy, you are the man 🙂 My first take on the 2 versions was "the vocal fry and emphasis on phrases is different". Contact less Angelina is my favorite look for her. I hope that we have arrived..I love it.

WOW. Sort of says it all.

AJ from a small girl with almost no teeth to an adult woman, its nice to see, how she developed.. bless her

You really need to check out the live cafe interview with Toby Gad introducing Angelina. She comes on and sings live.

Boudy, your reactions are more akin to responses which are thoughtful and considered. It is probably a human proclivity to want to prioritise and assert that one song or version of a song is better than another or that Angelina should pursue one style or genre over another. Of her many great attributes, one is that she has been, is and, I believe, will always be an experimenter. To try to hold her to one path is to hold her against her creativity. If you doubt this, listen to “Bad Valentine” which is then another way for her to express herself. Whenever I critiqued student artwork or approached the work of an established artist the first question I would ask is what are THEY attempting to convey and not what do I wish to see. Peace

Yes, Boudy, she has arrived. If you think this is good, you need to hear "Bad Valentine," an original by Angelina Jordan with Toby Gad. It is not officially out, but permission has been given to share the video of a live performance. It is so good. We'd love to hear your response to it.

Boudy, IMO, this “official” version is marketed and directed at the younger generations. I have no doubt that you’ll be reacting to Toby Gad’s new song, “I’m A Bad Valentine”. Angelina’s vocal is jaw dropping, well she had my jaw dropped.

Is the cello playing a short chord sequence from Bittersweet Symphony? The cello is capturing it for me on the musical score side of the song. Angelina's voice carries the core of the emotional context. Loved it all.

Boudy, you are wrong 😁🥳

Body, Wait until you hear "Bad Valentine!" It' will blow your mind!

I just want to address thaat feeling of sadness you talked about. It's really about letting go,, the idea that this child whosehand you held all this time - metaphorically speaking - is going to go out there on her own. This is our daughter, our little sister, going out there to conquer the musical world. It's hard to let go. But what I take away is how much we've grown along with her, in our knowledge of music, the rediscovery of a certain kind of happiness that untl now you only remembered vaguely. She reinvented our experience of the songs for us. When I watch you sharing your knowledge, I see you reliving an experience, and discovering something new yourself about the things you say. You look back and sayto yourself "wait a minute.. I never said it like that before." becuase you rediscovered something new, you know what I mean? Like you, I ckoked, too. Thank you!.. and Ramzi.. for keeping it real and making it real.

Boudy, I find it hard to believe that the 2 videos are from the same vocal track with this one slightly speeded up. They sound totally different to me & Angelina usually does 2 or more tracks for her original songs. However, I'm no expert, so I could easily be wrong.

Just wait til Jim's release of her new song Bad Valentine hits your soul.

Two songs that are not strictly covers, because their authors asked to Angelina to interpret them: • “Song for A” (at age 13). kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eNVjoMuptbORpXU.html: It is the only song on Nico Cartosio's album “Melting” that includes vocalization by a singer; the others are merely instrumental. Cartosio wrote this song specifically for Angelina. The instrumental part was recorded by Cartosio's orchestra in Abbey Road Studios in London, and the vocals was recorded later by Angelina in Los Angeles. This lovely song is based on the 1783 poem “The rigs of barley” by Scottish poet Robert Burns (1759-1796). • “I’m still am holding out for you” (demo): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/etxooM10zZvNmXk.html. It was recorded one week before she turning 11. Some consider it to represent one of Angelina's best vocal performances. I would very much appreciate to know your criteria in this regard.

Bad Valentine cements your conclusion Boudy

Thanks for another quality reaction. It may be time to read Kahlil Gibran’s poem On Children. As I have mentioned elsewhere, possibly on your channel, when she has established herself and people know her style, it may be her time to revisit the musical loves of her childhood. Only time will tell. 🎼🎶🖤🎵☮️
