- UPDATE: I didn’t know she sang this for the woman imprisoned for fighting for women’s rights in Iran. As an Iranian woman, that is absolutely incredible. Maybe my soul knew on some level, and that’s why I was brought to tears.
Former radio personality reacts!
If you'd like to leave me a tip, every little penny is greatly appreciated!
• Angelina Jordan (17) -... - Zábava
As an Iranian woman, I am awed by the backstory to this entire tribute concert. Hearing my family in Iran talk about what’s going on over there is heartbreaking. This woman, sitting in prison, winning a Nobel Peace Prize…who’s helping her? Where are the feminists in this country that rage about crosswalk signs only being male in the UK, and other ridiculous “issues”, when there are real women’s issues like what’s going on in Iran? I’m proud to be Iranian. And I’m even more proud to be American and live in a country where women are completely, utterly, 100% free. Thank you to this brave woman, rotting in a cell in Iran, who dared to even bring the spotlight on REAL women’s equality. 🙏
Mery Zemani, Angelina's grandmother is Iranian.
@@ItsMe-cz1piyes, I knew that. I always thought it was cool that Angelina and I shared that heritage. My father is Iranian.
@@myalightseeker 👍
I'm not sure using America as a status symbol is the right choice. Women rights are slowly being stripped away(robi vs wade) and I am a male speaking.
My ex-wife who is Iranian was actually named Iran. She changed it to Evonne to assimilate.
the person who suggested it should have told you this is the nobel peace price ceremony awarding the prize to the irananian woman imprisoned for fighting for women's rights. she's sentenced to about 40 years. her twin 18 year olds are in the front and have accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on her behalf. Presumably she will never see them again. that's why it's sung with such despair. she's looking directly at them when she touches her chest at the end
As an Iranian, that is very touching and emotional. Thank you for the info.
Lost for words. Seen this one at least 100 times already and still get the water works. After this performance the Neanderthals in charge hit her up with more f’d up charges and extended her jail term many more years.
The girl is to me the best I have ever heard, she is an angel
Tickets on sale for Angelina at the Westgate in Vegas Feb 29th. Sales start Friday, Jan 25th, 1:00pm EST. 7:00pm and 9:30pm concerts. Meet and greet before the first concert.
Not much time between shows to rest her voice.
I'm going.
Maunalee, This is the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony that Angelina was invited to perform. Angelina, the beloved daughter of Norway, previously performed at the Nobel Peace Prize when she was 9 years old. She looks like a beautiful Angel dressed in white with diamonds in her hair. Angelina wanted to perform for an Iranian woman imprisoned for fighting for women's rights and was sentenced to about 40 years. Children's, and women's rights, along with the disadvantages, have been her hallmark and concern throughout her young career.
Sometimes there is a backstory which makes a difference in the way it needs to be sung
This is more powerful when you realize Angelina is singing this live for the husband and twin children, also age 17 like Angelina, of the Nobel Laureate, Narges Mohammadi, in jail for her activism of women's and human rights.
Yes, as an Iranian woman, I fully appreciate that! :)
@@musicwithmaunalee ❣️ Persian culture has a huge influence on Angelina with her Grandma Mery being Iranian. I think this performance will come to be understood for how subtle and delicate her choices musically were. A true performance that conveys the emotions better than most other versions.
Dressed like an angel and sung like an angel. That last note carried to heaven.
You know Maunalee, I didn't appreciate this performance fully the first time I heard it. The second time it struck me. In this case, the occasion does dictate the manner of execution by the performer. This was a prayer for Narges Mohammadi and her twin children who were sitting down below. Angelina swells with humility and performed this with the perfect amount of feeling and grace.
I've heard this many times and touches me more each time.
As always, Thank you for your reaction.
Please do listen to this again (maybe a few times), recognizing as you do that Angelina sings this for very personal reasons. I'm sure, as she prepared for this performance (and possibly while she sang it), she could picture relatives in Iran and, of course, Narges Mohammadi being persecuted for daring to believe that women should have rights. You can see in this video that Angelina isn't in her usual happy and smiling on-stage persona; for her, this was serious and heartfelt about a serious and heartfelt issue in her grandma's homeland.
As an Iranian woman, I can definitely appreciate the reasoning for the song!
She is always a class act which is nice to see in these times.
Agreed!
Maunalee, imagine the impact on Narges'Children while Angelina sings " I'll be coming home, wait for me"! This was an honor for Angie, she has sung this many times since she was 8, l had the previlge if hear ger in Portsmouth. But this is the most reverent version she has done.
We just got word that Republic Records has Angelina booked to perform at the Westgate Resort (formerly the International hotel back when Elvis had his 7 year residency there.on February 20, 2024 How fitting, because after all, Angelina is called the "Female Elvis" by many fans.
That's cool that this is where Elvis performed. I'm going.
This performance is epic and will be a nexus point in musical history. With this performance Ms. Jordan has solidify her position in the halls of all the great musical legends of musical history. Rb
MaunaLee, I appreciate all you do and your honesty during reactions, but I respectfully disagree with your comments about the tribute. This is the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony which Angelina received the honor of being invited to perform. The information below will describe more fully the concept and why her version of this song is so poignant. The pain in her voice is palpable.
Angelina inspires me to do what I can to help make the world a better place, so I am asking all angels and others to spread the story of Narges Mohammadi. Angelina was recorded here at the Nobel Peace prize ceremony in Oslo Norway, performing this beautiful version of Unchained Melody. She paid tribute to Narges, who is currently on a hunger strike while imprisoned in Iran, for being an activist for women's rights. Her two twin children, who are 17, spoke on her behalf at this event. The more people who are aware and call for change, the more likely the leaders of Iran will set her free. Acts of kindness are inspirational, as Angelina always reminds us. We angels, and all others must honor Angelina, and those who represent our values, by doing all we can to help, and be kind to others. Even the smallest gestures can make a difference. If you have not already done so, please provide artist links to the official channels, social media and even links to Spotify and iTunes. Most importantly, encourage your viewers to use those links the same way as you do for your own channel. That will help ensure her success and spreading peace and love to the world.
As an Iranian woman, I absolutely agree that the tribute is very important and inspiring. I simply meant that a tribute will not change how I feel about a singer’s performance. But I am going to and watch the entire tribute, now that I know what it was about. I wish I would have known before.
@@musicwithmaunaleeMaunalee, I can understand that sometimes the tribute is not a great factor in your analysis of music. But in this case, the way Angelina performed the song reflected the emotion she felt for the situation. Very painful for the woman's family who were in attendance. You could feel the pain in Angelina's voice and the tribute was a major part of that.
It's interesting talking about backstories and how they affect music. I am currently a huge fan of the warning, but in my younger years was never a fan of hard rock. When I learned of the warning 3 years ago I didn't have much interest and didn't think this type of music would work for me. But when I saw the warning TEDx talks in 2017, that changed drastically. Understanding where the girls came from, their incredible work ethic, and their impressive values, I became a fan, and I began to love their music because I loved them. It wasn't a tribute per se, but knowing and loving the artists as people can make a huge difference. I always recommend that reactors spend a couple of minutes and check out the background of the artist before doing a new reaction on them. It helps in understanding where they come from. I would highly recommend a reaction to the TEDx talks 2017. The warning were all so invited for 2016 if you wanted to see that first. But 2017 they were a bit more mature and the music all comes off of their first album. They speak in between about their journey. Many fans became fans of the warning after seeing this episode. Best of luck with your health and the pregnancy! Peace out.
Thank you Maunalee. Hope Angelina settled your stomach. Great reaction 🔥🔥🔥♥👣
The Queen of song presenting the greatest rendition of this song ever !!!
Great reaction. I felt the orchestra together with her restraint version fitted the momentous occasion very well and was simply magical ❤
Big news for all the fans: Angelina is performing in Las Vegas on the 29th of February😊
Wow, what an emotional experience. Stunning performance. Loved it and your reaction.
Her version of Suspicious Minds breaks me up every time 😢😊
Ooooh I’ll listen!
Tears are not only allowed but expected when Angelina tells the story of a song. This Nobel Laureate, Narges Mohammadi, is one of the most emotional Nobel Peace Prize recipients of all time! Nine years since she has seen her twin children, now 17, and her husband, as she will be is in an Iranian prison for 31 years.
is it okay to say that Angelina presents the song with the utmost of respect?
To me this is the embodiment of Divine Grace in sound. My only analogy, would be, to the likes of Maria Callas, The stature, the elegance, the enrapturing beauty. We all are blessed with the privilege of witnessing this history of Ms. Jordan's transformative artistry. Rb
I prefet her live New Hampshire concert version, Sept 22, 2023. It put me in a trance at the show.
That was good, but quality compared to this was not even close IMO.
The recipient for this year's award was Narges Mohammadi, an Iranian dissident, now in an Iranian prison for her outspoken messages and activism for women's rights. Narges' two twin children spoke on her behalf at this event prior to Angelina's singing. They are Angelina's age and haven't seen their mother in years. She was able to speak with both before her performance. I'm sure this performance was a very poignant moment for Angelina--one quarter Iranian herself, and whose grandmother Mery is full Iranian. The national orchestra of Norway, KORK, has done numerous concerts with their native daughter, the Nobel Peace Prize Tribute the most recent. I have learned more about Norway over the past two years, since discovering Angelina, than I knew over the past 80 years prior. A gorgeous country, much like their daughter. We are blessed that we are now graced with her residence. For me, based on a 1-10 scale, this was easily a 12, but that's just me.
Wow, I am so glad you're back. Haven't seen you in a long time missed you so much. I subscribe to your channel. Looking forward to many reactions to our beautiful Angelina. She has grown up so much. She is absolutely gorgeous and her voice holy cow. We were all shocked and surprised when she was so young. With that beautiful raspy breathy. Deep voice and now that she's 18 years old, she's phenomenal. I wanna see her in concert so bad. She's live in Las Vegas February 29th one day I'll get to see her. But as of now I'll just enjoy her videos❤❤❤❤
Tribute to Iranian Nargis Mohammedi on hunger strike in prison after being whipped for her activities seeking equal education rights for girls. Her twins were in the audience.
As an Iranian woman, I’m awed at her bravery.
I haven't seen you in a while...good to see you!!!
That was a 10 out of 10 .
No one does it like Angelina!
Well, they say Angie's voice has healing powers, but I don't think your particular condition is going to be effected. Thanks for battling through.
I love the way Ms. Jordan can transport us to the remembrances of the past, but let's not forget that this young living legend is a contemporary, a masterclass artist that is continuing to experiment with tune and technique to create a newness in music, that will dominate world music for decades to come. Rb
great job reacting to this. i agree with you at the end. Also i don't see your TIP URL under more. I may have to find it in a previous reaction in which i donated.
Maunalee, I wish you all the very best with your pregnancy. I know it is asking for the moon to have any reaction channel to do a couple minutes of research for any reaction, but this is a prime example of once you know the background, then the performance takes on a whole new meaning.
Narges Mohammadi was this years' recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Narges was, at the time of this tribute, on a hunger strike while imprisoned in Iran, for being an activist for women's rights. Her two children spoke on her behalf at this event. Most of the performers were Iranian.
We know Angelina's grandmother, Mery Zamani, grew up in Iran and was a prodigy for painting and poetry. We can imagine the conversations Mery had with Angelina about Narges. This performance had to be extremely meaningful to Angelina and her family. I hope all the angels will spread the story of Narges and her mission, with the hope for change.
In 1954, Alex North was contracted to compose the score for the prison film Unchained (released in 1955). North had a melody he had written in the 1930s and composed and recorded the score when he was asked to write a song based upon the movie's theme. North asked Hy Zaret to write the lyrics. After first refusing, Zaret and North together wrote "Unchained Melody. Zaret refused the producer's request to include the word "unchained" in his lyrics. The song eventually became known as the "Unchained Melody" even though the song does not actually include the word "unchained". Instead, Zaret chose to focus on someone who pines for a lover he has not seen in a "long, lonely time".
"Unchained Melody" comes from the film centered on a man who contemplates either escaping from prison to live life on the run or completing his sentence and returning to his wife and family. So indeed this song fits along with Narges being in prison and her two children, and the rest of the people who embrace freedom, calling for her release
Great recap Andy.
I appreciate her cander in the reaction.
Being that I’m Iranian, that is really an amazing thing to know. Thank you for sharing all of that with me! Also, I don’t do research before a video because I want my reaction to be 100% real.
@@musicwithmaunalee Most welcome. Hope the peach syrup does the trick. Beautiful puppy, I am sure the whole family is in love.
@@musicwithmaunaleeI’m sorry but that’s just flawed..you miss out on so much..consider how much more meaningful to you, given your heritage, this performance would have been had you known the back story..I only want you to get the best you possibly can out of the music you listen to 🙏
@@musicwithmaunalee I think in the opinion of the vast majority of your viewers, doing a bit of research on the artist does not take away from the reality of your reaction. As you say, your reaction is to the music. But your appreciation of the music is enhanced by knowing a little backstory of the artist and perhaps the song. For me, I much prefer when they reactor knows a bit going in. I find it annoying when a reactor says they don't know the song and they've never heard of the artist and therefore the performance doesn't mean as much.
Do you know that this was the second time she has performed at a Nobel peace, pride award ceremony?!
Thanks for another beautiful reaction to Angelina Jordan 🌼that's for Daisy 😎
My favourite all-time Live performance. ( 50 years worth )
Congratulations on your "delicate state". You reminded me of a very tasteless joke I remember from my childhood.
Mummy mummy, can I have a big spoon?
What do you want a spoon for Dear?
Well, Tommy's been sick and Samantha's getting all the big bits!
Another great reaction, keep up the good work.
The parallels to Ms. Callas are uncanny. However in Ms. Jordan's case she is the true unicorn. No one in the musical world, that has graced this world, has effected so many and compelled them to be better to themselves and others, just by the force of being. A truly historical moment in musical history. Rb
The original artist sang this song live on T.V. this exact same way. I'm pretty sure Angelina performed the same version. Look it up. Hope you get better soon. Great reaction! 🇺🇲😎👍💯🌟
Actually, for me personally, this is now my favorite version of this song. Many people try to compare an artist with the original artists and that's a big mistake. If a person does that , they may as well just listen to the original. I love when an artist takes a song and makes it their own. This is a good example of that for me. The brothers sang this song, but for me Angelina sang it like she lived it.
I'm so glad you're back❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great reaction Maunalee. I don't understand all the criticism from the comments here. Some people put way too much emphasis on having to understand the entire back story of a performance in order to enjoy it. You clearly enjoyed Angelina's performance and her rendition of the song which showcased her classic sound and her ability to convey emotion. The event she sang at was definitely more than just a "Tribute" concert. It was an Official Nobel Peace Prize concert for the recipient in abstentia who is in prison in Iran. This was a singular honor for Angelina to be invited to perform. She stands as one of a handful of artists to be invited to perform at multiple Nobel ceremonies - one when she was 8, and this one at 17. Keep up the great work. I look forward to your reactions to the rest of the songs on Angelina's EP, Old Enough.
I don’t do research because I want my reaction to be 100% real. But, as an Iranian woman, I am so happy to hear the backstory now. Thank you!
actually not correct angelina may be the first under 18 to be perform twice but there are other artists who have also performed twice .
@@tomwhite4736 Thank you for the correction. I have edited my comment. I got that piece of information from another commentor on another reaction. In fact, there have been 13 performers who have performed at more than 1 of the Nobel Peace Prize concerts in the 30 years since 1994. So Angelina is still in pretty great company at the age of 18.
@@philgaringer9065Beware of information from other angels , it can often be wrong .I fell into that trap after just discovering Angelina 2 years ago .I soon discovered which angels comments I could rely on .
💯angelic love our barefoot princess and a true diamond 💎
Lovely to see you back. Sean UK
i loved your reaction, Thankyou
Its in english and from nobel peace prize.
I realized it was English when I started the video lol!
Thanks for your nice reaction. ❤❤❤
Great reaction. I miss AJs brown eyes. I don't know what that family has against brown eyes! She is beautiful no matter what. Love her heart and her music.❤
Well done Maunalee, reviews always very realistic..congratulations!!I announce that Angelina will do 2 concerts in Las Vegas on February 29th..I won't sleep while waiting, have a good life and music..Massimo🤩
I loved the orchestra supporting her and her rendition was beautiful. There were actually several moments that felt just the smallest amount off to me. But the overall effect was so beautiful, I disregarded those slightly off moments.
I’ve missed you. Reacting to Angelina
Keep doing you ❤ love your channel
"Some angel's "Magical Barefoot Vocalist" are meant to be on earth... Thank you "Ms. Angelina Jordan" for being one of them.!!!" - Ms. AJ Fan's...
Sua figlia (muso di topo) meravigliosa, a cui auguro il successo di Angelina,che è la più grande cantante del mondo, sembra avere un intelligenza emotiva superiore.Io farei ascoltare ogni pezzo di Angelina prima a lei e poi direi la mia.Scherzi a parte Angelina è veramente di una dimensione superiore.E dai......
I would really like you to react to the rest of the EP Old Enough, only 1 more has a video but they are all "really" "really" worth reacting to, in my opinion Good In Goodbyes is a lyrical masterpiece, I would love to hear your opinion.
Suggestion for somebody you may not know. Madison Cunningham, December is a feeling.
Also, Eva Cassidy, Over the Rainbow, considered one of the finest versions ever recorded. Eva passed away in 1996 at the age of only 33 from cancer. This performance was less than a year before she died and is beautiful and haunting.
She passed away??? Her version of “Songbird” was life changing for me.
@@musicwithmaunaleeA fan channel did a virtual duet of "Fields of gold" with Angelina and Eva. It is beautiful
czcams.com/video/Pczc6OTeNRw/video.htmlsi=rcSTq17qyVN42n3x
@@musicwithmaunalee Yes, Eva Cassidy passed away in 1996. She was not very well known at the time but after her death recordings of her music, initially over the rainbow, got into the hands of radio stations and record companies I believe in Great Britain. They went viral and since, she is sold almost 20 million albums post-humously. One of the most ethereal voices you will hear. Songbird is gorgeous as is Danny boy, time after time, bridge over trouble water, and more. But over the rainbow is her signature and although it's been done many times, you will never hear it again done like this!
Congrats on the new baby! Enjoy the early months. Once they get on solid food, the new car smell goes away...
❤❤❤
Wow you won singing this can you sing it for us I’d like to here your vocals😊
Eek. After having vocal nodules found on my vocal cords, I’d be embarrassed. My singing is good for a talent show at best 😭😭😭
I know you dont like to have to much information maunalee , but knowing why Angelina performed this song in a more restrained , sombre way i believe would have been beneficial for you to give your reaction .❤ ps you dont like that last note? you're a bit odd maunalee but aren't we all in some way .😊
I have since learned the reason for the tribute, and as an Iranian woman, I find it very awe-inspiring. Thanks for watching!

CONGRATULATIONS. You seem like such a great mom. Hope the blood sugar issues pass soon.
I think it was a good reaction 95 is a great score i do like the ending but thats my taste we are all different and you are correct by saying the ending was not to your taste so thats what music is all about ❤
Beautiful reaction! Sorry to hear that the HG is bugging you so much. Love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
Hi Maunalee. If you are looking for some new talent to react to, I recommend two: Guila Falcone, a young Italian singing "Still Loving You" and young 15 year old Emma Kok singing at a concert "Voila". They are both fantastic. Thanks for reacting to Angelina and "Unchained Melody." Her performance was so classy and heartfelt with full orchestration at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony in Oslo, Norway. Looking forward to a just announced Angelina Jordan concert in Las Vegas on Feb 29th. Can't wait.
Both these are good suggestions.
ENCHANTING
❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's a ......BOY !!!
Wer austeilen kann, kann auch einstecken. Eintauchen in ein Gefühl ohne nachzudenken. Und Liebe zu fühlen. 👣🍀💥
I have two names you have not covered! Alexandra Capitanescu who won the Voice of Romania last year, please react to her audition for that show, Welcome to the Jungle!
The other one is Gabriel Henrique, a Brazilian Singer who recently got a Golden Buzzer singing a Whitney song on America's Got Talent, he speaks very little English but has many English covers! The one I would like you to react to is I Want To Know What Love Is, recently released in a rooftop setting with Coral Black to Black! He sings as high or higher than Dimash, but carries the weight of a male voice in his high register!
Also the current winner of American Idol, Abi Carter, you could start with her audition, What Was I Made For, that had the judges say she could be the winner!
All three need exposure!
Sorry about being yucky all the time I have a identical twin sister 😂 I love this performance by Angelina ❤

So you won singing this song in a bar? Wow 😮
Maunalee I hope you get this message but check videos that people have recorded from her Vegas concert that she just preformed February 29th. She's Looks absolutely stunning and her voice as always is so beautiful But check out some of the videos they're really God.❤❤❤❤❤❤
I've seen a lot of reactors view this and you are absolutely the only one that didn't love the ending ... Opinions are relevant !!!
Are you following the Iranian womens behind "my stealthy freedom" ? Worth supporting
If you like black metal, listen to Satyricon Mother North Live at the opera. It is brilliant. And of course Norwegian.
Have you heard Morgan James......take me to the church

I havent been pregnant, personally, but my exwife was 7 months in hospital the first time.
Angelina’s Suspicious Minds. Tribute to Elvis. She is quite close with the Pressley’s.
Hola guapa.escucha a Gabriel Henrique,es la nivel de Angelina,o Dimash...
I was not on board for the orchestra, but I feel that this song fits her breathy style of singing very well. Over all I found it very good.
For an unknown, I would recommend The Milk and a song called Knock Me Out For Ten. Find the Mahogany Session if you can.
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll look into it! :)
There will always be something wrong according to you.
If there’s something I don’t like, I will always say it! :) thanks for watching!
Afghan girls are not allowed to sing. But the Afghan woman Simin Tander is living in Germany and works with different European musicians and she can sing.

The amount of people giving Maunalee crap is baffling. She literally said it was one of the best performances, and gave it a 9.5/10. What do these nutjobs want? No wonder she is so sensitive. You people are the reason youtubers quit doing what they love. JFC be better people. These musical artists are just people that sing well, they arent the second coming of Christ. Chill
