So many child prodigys hit a glass ceiling and drift into obscurity. Yet Angelina is at 17 still improving. Her new EP is outstanding. Try her NOW IM THE FOOL.

Translation from the presenters; Angelina Jordan stands behind us. The world lays at this 10 year olds feet, and luckily she visits us before the departure to the USA. And we are expecting goosebumps because we have heard the rehersal, so enjoy this and enjoy your Monday evening

Ella Fitzgerald is the original artist for this song and it should be noted that she was voted #1 as the Top Jazz singer of all time, followed by Siantra, Nat King Cole and Billie Holiday. Angelina know's you cant' really improve on Ella's arrangement, so what does she do differently? She simply slows it down. It is pure genius and proves that 'less can be more' at times. The fact she's doing this at 10, on an outside rooftop, with a single guitarist simply keeping time, jst adds to it. Ella's was done in a full studio set up and I'm pretty sure it wasn't done in one 'spur of the moment' take like this. The girl is simply incredible and as much as I love Ella's original, I get more intense feeling from Angelina's vocals.

Welcome back with Angelina, Josh. Who wouldn't want to hear goodbye like that! This song was recorded in Oslo, before leaving for the United States. A 10 year old girl (but if she were 8 or 9 or 11 it was the same), who in perfect autonomy has so much sensitivity and musical intelligence to recalibrate a song like this and do it in such a perfect, accurate, sweet, soft way, balanced and even more so, it's simply unreal. Given the location where the show is recorded, we could say that her voice is certainly already close to heaven. She is unique, practically impossible to describe, but wonderful, always.❤🧡💛

Angelina Jordan, at only 17 years old, is considered by many media outlets (Time, Variety, CNN, BBC, People) and prestigious musicians to have won many world-class gramies, an example of some: Rob Christie, Alan Walker, Jonathan Moffet, Gregg Field, David Foster, Queen (Brian May, Roger Taylor), Gene Simmons (KISS vocalist), Norah Jones, Quincy Jones (MJ producer), Jimmy Z, Mark Ronson, Nico Cartosio, Diane Warren most recognized, praised composer of all time, etc..., as a vocally prodigious teenager Her voice has a color and a soul available to very few singers. She recently released her new EP “Old Enough” (6 exceptional songs of her own) through her record label Republic Record Universal Music, the #1 label on the Billboard charts in 2021. , (Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, Drake, Jonas Brothers, Post Malone, The Weeknd, etc.), Angelina Jordan has been her priority artist since she was 14 years old. Acapulco,Mexico

it is hard to move away from loved ones.... here, Angelina offers her gentle, delicate, heartfelt parting. Parting really is a sweet sorrow. Almost a lullaby of regret while leaving Oslo that speaks to her tender care and fondness for her home city. Like you say, "Flabbergasting."

IMO, one of Angelina's contributions as an artist is that she reminded the older generations (including my parents) that the jazz genre is here to remain, and she single-handedly will revive the jazz genre; further, she introduced jazz to younger generations to prove what the real music is all about. The Barefoot Angel never disappoints, and this performance is one more evidence of that. Thanks for your great reaction to this performance of Angelina, and glad you are back with more reations.

MY FUNNY VALENTINE when she was 10 yr (this particular one she is sitting) is awesome. MY FUNNY VALENTINE when she was 16 yr (she’s in a fancy store with chandeliers). Many have watched this as a duo for comparison - both are fantastic ‼️

This performance by her is one of her best. It is a flawless live performance and recording. Making it even better is how her adorability is so immense. All things considered it should not be possible for a kid to be this magnificent.

Angelina is a throwback to the great renaissance artists who created the masterpieces that will continue to be marveled at till the end of time. Angelina has a special gift where she reads the lyrics, plays the music in her mind digesting them envisioning what made the composer put those words and those notes down on paper. She then presents us with a vocal painting that transcends both the music and the lyrics becoming instead pure emotion. In almost 80 years I have never heard anyone who can grab me with just a few notes and produce real feelings from her songs.

Angelina's tenth year was a real breakout for her performance development. She really got comfortable relating to audiences, both live and through the camera lens. Another watershed performance from that year would be her cover/rewrite of "Back to Black" by Amy Winehouse. The original lyrics are pretty crude, and her mom realized this only on the Friday before the scheduled Saturday recording session. Angelina rewrote the lyrics in just a day, and nailed the video on the second take. She turned the song into one of hope and love, even though Winehouse's original was quite dark and bleak. Even so, the end result seems like an ode to Amy from her greatest fan.

"The wold lies in front of this 10 year old girls feet. We were lucky enough to get her to perform for us before travelling to USA. We expect goosebumps as we have heard her rehearsal. Please enjoy!" Roughly what they said in Norwegian. Love from Norwegian subscriber.

A performance I've heard many times, but not for a while. What a joy to hear it again, accompanied by such an observant and complementary reaction. Complementary in that it combines to enhance. Angelina's performance and your reaction radiate peace, respect and goodwill.

If you want to hear Angelina's lowest register, check out her version of How Great Thou Art by Elvis. She is around 12 or 13 here and actually performs the song in the same low register as Elvis did! It is mind-blowing. Another suggestion is hearing 17-year-old Angelina singing live at her concert in Portsmouth New Hampshire a month ago, where I attended. She performed a rendition of Unchained Melody which may be her best performance of her career! It is online from the bigAngiefan channel.

Try her NOW IM THE FOOL

Very true. Angelina is a remarkable professional for a vocalist of any age.

This has always been one of my favorite Angelina performances.

Angelina is the "Queen of Slow!" Great reaction, love the research & listening to the original first.

Angelina, if you remember, sang "I'm a Fool to Want You" a cappella for one of her NGT audition requirements and maintained the beat/timing throughout with no cues of any sort. Her sense of rhythm is impeccable.

Great to have you back with Angelina she is just wonderful, she has always been so calm never rushed and she creates this space for us, she takes us out of a mundane reality into her timeless world with her timeless voice, yes she continues to evolve pioneering her own lane, so much for you to enjoy at any age and everything she has ever done deserves experiencing a lot of what she does along the way will stand on it's own forever she is just inimitable AJ .💗👣

Seriously, what would you think Ella would have responded if she were alive during Angelina's time to this song?

Very nice and interesting reactino. I love this so much - one of my very favourites.... She is the master of slowing songs down and making them better as a result - you might enjoy her recent live "Unchained Melody" which was very slow and intensely beautiful.... She even slows her own songs down: last year in Norway she surprised people a bit by slowing her great song "Million Miles" and thereby making the emotional impact (already high) even more greater. And as you say her timing is remarkable: she seems to have had that from birth - her grandmother recently released an old family video of Angelina singing "I will always love you" in the cot at 18 mths and in addition to being on pitch, one thing that is remarkable I think is her timing.. if you watch her eyes and head movements she just seems to have the timing in her head perfectly (if you see what I mean).. it's amazing !

If you want to see a great example of her lower register check out her version of “How Great Thou Art” at age 12 when she covered Elvis’ version of the song in his key. Truly unbelievable!

The version that is lodged into my mind, is the rendition by Vera Lynn. But as so often with such classics, many great artists sang it. Angelina sang so many old and more recent classics. This is a timeless sentimental song and she sings it so beautifully. I've heard her go as low as C2 and C2#. Her lower range is wonderful. She has released her new EP 'Old Enough'. I think you will greatly enjoy it :-)

"I'm Still Holding Out For You", was a Demo she did when she was 10nand was leaked when she was 12 before the Originater released his version, God Bless!

So I just watched all your reactions to Angelina and man you are gifted yourself. Very, very thorough analysis and great that you research the original song history. So you watched so far from 6 year old Angelina to 10 year old, that's 4 years..... The development in just 4 years is other worldly, where other artist would need at least 20 years to get to. She already done so much and she is still yet 17 now. That makes me think that she could be the best artist that has ever lived on earth. Wow, are you impressed so far? Because you just got started, at 12 years old Angelina you are going to start questioning reality 😅. Great video and God Bless Troy🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Josh, everything you said was very interesting and especially for those listening who are contemplating a singing career. And, of course, you were describing exactly how it should be done. The only catch to the whole thing is the singer you were critiquing was 10 years old !!!!!!!!!!!! Josh, 10 years old singing 'My Funny Valentine' in a chair at home. I know you'll love it, as well. You look great so I'm sure you're fine. Welcome back.

I’m here for Angelina. We love AJ❤❤❤

This so appropriate as leaving for the US right after this, one of things she was doing was singing at a benefit concert for the Mattel Childrens Hospital in LA where she was escorted there by Gene Simmons and he gave her a short lesson on how be a star.

One of my all time favourite performances from Angelina ♥ And your comments were right on point in every aspect! What she achieved with her tone, timing, phrasing, and so effortless is absolutely amazing at her age and even for older singers, I''m sure. She was born to sing and as she always says, singing for her is like breathing 🥰

Many of my favorite songs of Angelina’s occur during her ages 10 through 12. Here is an example: She sang a precious rendition of My Funny Valentine at age 10. Then she sang it again at age 16. They both have their own particular charm. Some reactors have watched them back to back which is very effective. So glad you’re feeling well again and can return to your channel. We’ve missed you! Blessings and love~

About to say goodbye 😢 please try her own written song recently. Good in Goodbyes 🫶 she's a crazy good songwriter started at 11y and now she said she had written 100 Songs for us. She picked 6 out now for her new EP Old enough. A full Album is announced for end of Year Maybe try her first own Song .. What is Life 🌠 an 11y old Girl talking about our beautiful life and how to focus on the future ❣️🫶 th way of Love 💕

Her breath control is astounding, for anyone, let alone a 10 year old.

Age 10 was a good year. Enjoy it as much as you can.

May I present: Angelina Fitzgerald Jordan !!!

This version is even slower than Ella's, and phrasing that first line on a single note is really hard to do! Yet she draws me in from the very beginning with her tone. There is a purity about this performance that I can't pin down. It makes time stop and listen. It's almost therapy. By the way, if you want to hear how she handles a really slow version of a song today, check out Unchained Melody from her recent Portland concert. The sound recording is not the best owing to it being an iPhone at a live concert, but her performance is astonishing!

Thanks Angelina x l sang that song at my mama's funeral, you sang it beautifully and brought tears to my eyes in a lovely way. Thank you.😚

undoubtedly one of her most beautiful performances absolutely criminal it has less than one million views, nirvana

Sir, the hosts, so I understood, anouncing her, telling that the hosts got goosebumps during rehearsal. Then they also say, that the following day, Angelina (their Nations Treasure) will travel to the US, mostly for vacation and I believe, her dad worked as an Oil engineer in Arizona for a few years, maybe they were visiting him. Elmar from Germany

what me always blows away, when watching her, especially in her one digit ages, is how she manages to transport emotions - every time. She sings like an old soul, so mature...it´s such a conflict in my brain, seeing this child and listening to such a developed, almost perfect voice. Mostly, her songs are packed with a lot of styles and technics, hard to notice, because she is able to switch from one to anotrher with such smooth transitions, that i tend to get almost mezmerized. I use to lose the focus and start to just enjoy, which is a good thing. There is something in her voice, i can´t explain, she hugs the audience right from the start, drags you in and will only release in the end, somehow. Her family created a great environment around her, so we hopefully can enjoy her voice for many decades to come

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

Your great. I do not usually recommend people miss out on Angelina's amazing full collection of performances. They're amazing ones at every age, over 200 performances. That said at the rate you're doing them you never get to the present time which as of this writing she is still 17. Perhaps you also enjoy some of them without reacting? Either way you might want to skip to the present. Her EP releases a few months back is 6 songs of varying styles that best listened to in order as there is a story Arc as well. Best

So cool that you try the Norwegian language 👍❤️ Angelina did a sort of mesmerizing performance of the song IMO ❤️ I think you will love her new EP, which has 6 new songs written by her with CO writers. and I think her EP is incredible 👍

Hello! Amazing to have you back 🙂 I'm sorry to hear about your health struggles, but I hope that you are doing MUCH better now. And I love your new look as well. Is it for a show maybe? Stick with it, it looks great. As for her age here, you were right. She was 10 years old. This was recorded the day before she and her family left for LA for the first time, to prepare for the move that came 2 years later, when she was 12. She was leaving her home country, so in that respect you can say that the lyrics EVERY TIME WE SAY GOODBYE I DIE A LITTLE is quite fitting 😊 I know that you have reacted to her performance of Feeling Good, live on The Stream Gir Tilbake already, which leaves me with just two more ABSOLUTE MUST LISTENS from when she was 10. The first one is quite different from the ones you have heard by her already, and really shows you how she could sound in a professional recording studio at that age. She recorded a demo for a song called "I'm Still Holding Out For You", and the performance is unbelievably good. It sits safely on most of her fans' top 5 list or even higher, so that should tell you something. I don't know if you allow links on your channel, but I will try : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/etxooM10zZvNmXk.html The other song is her performance of the song "Summertime" by George Gershwin. She performs together with the Norwegian Radio Orchestra (KORK), a highly critically acclaimed orchestra. She also performed the song on the final of Norway's Got Talent when she was 8, but this one was performed 2,5 years later, and the difference is just mind blowing. It is definitely one of my absolute favourite performances by her : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qdqneZelzpfYkpc.html Lastly, before I go, I just want to ask you if you have ever considered starting a Patreon account ? You are one of the reactors that I would like to support if so. Stay safe and take care! Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

Very glad to see you back again. Hope all is well now. Ten year old Angelina surpassing so many of the old classics!

Thanks for good reaction, pointing out those delecated choices she made. To listen to Angelinas lowest register, you ought to listen to her cover of “The great though art”. She here sings on Elvis low key!?

You NEED TO skip ahead to 4 weeks ago,, listen/react to one of the two FANMADE videos of her LIVE, Portsmouth, NH, Sept 22, 2023.. UNCHAINED MELODY. Elvis inspired.

Sir, good to have you back! I hope all is well now. You, sir be careful, the biggest gift we get, besides loved ones, is health. Be safe and sound. Elmar from Germany

Hi there - i hope you stay a little bit longer on 10 because Angelinas Cover of "My funny Valentine" at home sitting in her armchair and gifting us Angels with a Valentine surprise is astonishing - what this child had done with this classic song will stand time - period

Listen to Ella's version right after this, and it will be glaringly evident of the absolute brilliance that is AJ.

AJ had announced tbe family was leaving Oslo for an extended stay in the US. The announcers were simply saying they wished her well and were confident she would be successful wherever she went. The trip was to make preparations for a permanent move a couple years later.

I'm so gladden that your recovery has progressed, as has your continuation of Ms. Jordan's musical journey. I have watched all of Ms. Jordan's reviews on your playlist for her, and sir you are a insightful and knowledgeable musical presenter. Bravo good Sir. I'll be recommending a piece that gets little play in the reactor circles. It's is a bit out of the ten year old time line, but in a couple weeks would be appropriate. There is an important contemporary composer by the name of Nico Cartosio, who wrote music for a song specifically for Ms. Jordan, to finish his orchestral album "Melting". It has been reported that she recorded her vocals in LA when she was twelve. He was invited by Studio One to record his album in London, then compiled into a masterwork. "Song for A": kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bquljJSakp3dfo0.html Cheers Rb

thanks, SingerDad! She is amazing.. I think she was TEN here.. one of my favorites... appreciated your reaction...

I love some of her songs on her new album. The song Diamond is creative in the styles she uses in the song. She has written over 100 songs of her own. She is 17 years old now, I think.

Thank you for one of the best reactions to our AJ that I've been privileged to view. Your deep technical knowledge and experience are clearly top-tier, but you had me right from the outset when you explained your research into the song, its origins and lyrics etc. It confuses and admittedly irritates me when reactors just dive into a song with absolutely ZERO idea of the artist, or what the song itself is even about. I do not understand how they could react to something that they have no clue about. Outstanding example: Angelina's performance of Nico Cartosio's "Song For A". How can anyone intelligently and meaningfully react to this without knowing the background? How can anyone genuinely react, for just another example, to Angelina's own incredibly moving and intensely emotional "A Million Miles" without knowing its history and intent?

Angelina makes something so difficult appear to be easy. That is talent! In the intro the host mentioned that Angelina was going to the USA. Her grandma was the director of the music video for Fly me to the Moon, filmed in the desert (Nevada I think) Angelina still just 10 years old. The setting was rather challenging but Angelina just mastered it. Her grandma tried to portray what spring is like on Mars - the nearest thing you can get on Earth is a salt lake... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oNSercWV2ZrDgnk.html

Привет,Джош! Рада видеть вас живым и здоровым!А что Диана Анкудинову вам больше не интересна?👌💓😊

Loving You when she was 11 is amazing

I'm glad you are back and healthy again and also reacting to Angelina. I really enjoy your protocol. I appreciate your desire to promote your channel which you should. However, the artist deserves equal priority. Unfortunately they do not get credit from watching your previous reactions. Viewers should be encouraged to watch your previous reactions but also to go to Angelina's official channels and original videos that you should supply in your description, so that she will boost her algorithm as well. By encouraging viewers to do this, they will find your valuable information as well since they normally do not go to the description on their own. The artists deserve this type of support. Thank you and peace.

I believe this is the only video of Angelina singing song❤

Your calm honesty and sincerity is most welcome. Hope you are fully recovered and I look forward to hear your takes on her 12 - 14 age tracks and her incredible young adult 17 year old tracks. You'll smile a lot!

🔥🔥🔥♥👣

Dont miss " IM STILL HOLDING OUT FOR YOU " 2 weeks before her 11th birthday .its a leaked performance audio only but no problem been reacted to numerous times. definitely a fan favourite .

So beautiful.

I really like you pointing out Angelina's style, how she rests on the end of the phrase ending in "ing" and holding that note. To me that is genius and adds so much to her interpretation.

I really appreciate your Angelina reactions.

what a beautiful, wonderful reaction. Your expressions are so honest and genuine...... loved it. As for the performance------- no words

Hi! I’d like to recommend you a crossover group from South Korea(from Phantom Singer 4 this year) I discovered recently. Its name is “Forténa” that consists four tenors(I’ve heard it’s the first crossover group with four tenors). This group has two count tenors which is unusual for crossover group. One of the members is a very famous count tenor(His name is DQ Lee and played in lots of operas all over the world). Please check their cover songs, “Neapolis” and “Demain n’existe pas“ from a competition program(phantom singer 4). I’m sure you would like them and I’d love to hear your opinion about their singing! Thanks!

In my opinion, the gold standard for Angelina reaction videos, especially if they're covers (since she almost always puts her own spin on the song), is an approach where the original or most popular version is shown first (maybe all of it or just a minute or so), before watching Angelina's version. I think you wasted a great opportunity by not sharing a bit of Ella with your viewers. My guess is that many of them have never heard her sing this song and so lack the context to fully understand the genius of what Angelina has done here.......I think this method ought to be mandatory for anyone doing a reaction to Angelina! ;-)......On another subject, If you're an admirer of Angelina Jordan, why don't you help her out? Tell your viewers to support her, to go to her channel and subscribe, like the original video; and, of course, buy her music. So how about providing the links to her channels, Patreon and social media? C'mon, it's not just about promoting yourself; you want to promote the artists too!! Without them, would you have over 36k subscribers?

😀😀😀😀😀

🥰

Thank you!

Luv this. So much, top 5 for sure.

Before moving on to age 11, a "MUST HEAR" Studio Performance. A DEMO, needs to be tracted to, as it is the first performance of a modern song, which proved the amazing excellence that a studio can bring out of her rich voice, just before turning 11 , a week later... only on a fan video, its title is "I"M STILL HOLDING OUT FOR YOU" do it... DO IT !!

💗💗💗

I like your approach of looking at the lyrics first. 👍 This performance took place at 20: 45, July 4, 2016 - so she is actually 10yo (as the female presenter mentioned in the intro, she came by earlier in the afternoon for rehearsals). This is my favorite video of young Angelina - simply a perfect performance. Until now, however, I have always been of the opinion that "A change from major to minor" is correct, as Porter begins with an A♭ major chord and ends with an A♭ minor chord, matching the mood of the music to the words (and not the contrary). If you like the "queen of slow down" here, you'll probably also like "Summertime" with KORK or "My funny Valentine" on Aksept kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e6ylZ8KU1b-cZWw.html (not ro mention her very recent "Unchained melody"). Some examples of how versatile she was even at the age of 10: EDM restrung (Alan Walker's Heading Home LIVE STREAM (Sing me to sleep and Faded combined) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hcuZY7GZ3cWaoqs.html ) French chanson ( Autumn leaves) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hcuZY7GZ3cWaoqs.html Pop (Here comes the sun (The Beatles) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oKuEqMiAldDacmw.html There are also impressive acoustic-only cover videos from 2016: “Love me tender” (Elvis Presley) and “I will survive” (Gloria Gaynor)

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Great reaction! Keep going I really appreciate your reaction video.

Beautiful song, Beautiful performance. Great reaction.

Josh, 10 was a great year for Angie. She had so many outstanding performances in many genres. I'll just suggest two at this time: Love Me Tender, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g86ZqsZznc-ndo0.html and Autumn Leaves, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/npqcY9xkrpjaoZc.html. At 6:09 in this video, notice how nervous she is, casually checking out her nails 😂.

🤩🤩🤩

Hi!! I love your videos~!! I recommend you the reaction of Forténa songs too!!! They are crossover group have very beautiful voice color and harmony!!!!!! Thank you so much~!!!!

Very nice reaction. Thank you.

I heard this song from her so often but it still so magic to me … Josh, I first thought some one has stolen your channel name before recognising you . I hope your health issues are completely gone ? And yes , the beard looks good on your face … wishing you and your family a happy and healthy Wednesday , greetings from Germany

Great reaction and great to have you back! Hope all is well with your health now! You mentioned Angelina's low range. This example was a walk in the park for her compared to her renditon of "How Great Thou Art." She gets almost "canyon deep" on that one, actually singing it in the same key as Elvis Presley did! Check it out. Thanks!

💕💕💕🇨🇦

Glad to see you back! I hope all is well now. You're way behind. Another song I'd like you to react to is her rendition of Elvis' 'Suspicious Minds'. She has a new EP out now that it's amazing!

great job, thanks and glad you're back!

Not surprisingly, up to this point you have been hearing, for the most part, her "most perfect" performances. It might be time to throw an imperfect one into the mix: "I Will Survive", supposedly recorded in 2016, when she was 10. I say "supposedly" because there's no visual evidence of her age when she sang it. An audio + "slideshow" video of it was posted to her Fanclub Mosarz channel back in 2019. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o8dnpsSQ053PXWw.html The imperfection aspect involves her stumbling over the words and/or the rhythm of same at a few points. It sounds to me like this could be a one-and-only take, with her reading the lyrics as she sings. Her reading the lyrics isn't at all unusual (she even did that in the "I Put a Spell on You" music video), but hearing _evidence_ of her reading the lyrics is very unusual. Typically you can't tell that just by listening to the audio. Here, I think you can. Anyway, it's still an incredible performance, especially for a 10-year-old.

Thanks for your video. I hope you would watch and react for Forténa’s video. Forténa is a Korean cross-over group. There are four tenors who have different voices. They are very good at variable genres as well classical musics. Especially, plz watch their video “Neapolis”.

Angelina Jordan announced live concert in Las Vegas Feb 29. Any chance you are going?

She can go much lower 😂. Watch her singing how great thou art.

嗨！好久没看到您分享华晨宇的作品，很想念你的专业分析。请看华晨宇的七重人格，这是他为抑郁症而作的一首曲子，非常特别，期待您的分析与反应。这是演唱会的视频，您不需要担心油管的版权问题。谢谢～ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZpZ0Zpl-q9nRgaM.html

really boring comments

Evidently you people don't watch or listen to other young singers of all ages on KZfaq. There are at least 10 other young ladies on KZfaq that their fans say are the best singers on the planet. I can name 5 right now....Lucy Thomas, Morissette Amon, Diana Ankudinova, Taylor Swift (LOL), and and a ventriloquist from Rumania, 13 year old Ana Maria Mărgean. Ana sings duets with her puppets that sound better than any of these, but she's also a world class singer on her own also. I know for damn sure Angelina isn't the best, there is always someone better. My honest take on all of this who's the best crap.
