… ELVIS and ANGELINA... my absolute favourites!! … What a great tribute to the King! Elvis would be honored and speechless 😮!! … I can't even describe how incredibly good these two are!!… Phenomenal!! ✨💎✨ 🕺🏻🎸🕯Thank you
I think you now understand why the Angels are so completely hooked on Angelina. She doesn’t compete with Elvis here, but she gives us a new meaning for the lyrics that Elvis never tried to do. And she does that with a textured, mesmerizing voice.
Elvis is a legend and rightly so but, in his versions of this song I never believed a word he said (although, he was entertaining). In Angelina's version, as usual, I was mesmerized by every word, every breath, and I believed it all.
I've been an Angel for almost 8 years now. I don't know what it is like going from 10 year old Angelina to 16 year old in a manner of minutes or hours, but I can imagine it's alot to process.
Thank you Soooo much for your raw, and very genuine reaction to such a classic song. AJ has made the most manly of men cry and taken them on a emotional rollercoaster 🎢 ride of just Pure beauty, and just mesmerises making songs her own. Appreciated your reaction to this beautiful child prodigy/ young beautiful lady with an absolute heart of gold. You will always be amazed no matter what age you view her sing. Check out this Elvis one it's a videography mashup it will pull at the heart without a Doubt. #AngelinaJordanElvisYouwerealwaysonmymind look for the(4:35) mashup🤯🤯🤯
I doubt there is any serious Angelina fan who has not been brought to tears by the way she conveys the emotion of a song with her beautiful voice! Indeed, it happens to me almost daily! She is special!
The 2 younger girls are her cousins, her uncle/manager Mike's kids. The older one is her sister. The pianist Rob Christie is a two time Grammy award winning producer and record company executive. He is the director of Republic Records studio in Los Angeles, which has been the "recording-home" for Angelina, since she signed with Republic Records in 2020. She is the G.O.A.T.
The guy playing the piano is 2 time Grammy Award winning producer Rob Christie who is the studio director for Republic Records and is a master at developing new talent, making him a perfect fit for Angelina. You have a long way to go, but I would suggest you listen to her new EP next, then you can go back and listen to the last decade of Angelina Jordan.
Don’t miss her cover of classic James Brown « It’s A Man World », live in concert at 12 yo. You will be blown away. Don’t worry it’s normal she always do this to many of us.
She got you on this one! This young artist has a special talent for hitting you right to the core of your soul. It’s her specialty and it catches you off guard. Don’t worry, she’s done it to us all. Loving your journey so far. Thanks.
Wonderful reaction! She will get you again and again, you can count on that. She sings the story like no other, uncovering the true essence of the song.
Very beautiful reaction thank you best heartfelt reaction ever your on a long journey with our barefoot princess but it's worth it wild Bill angel 😇 since 2016.
The baby and very little girl are Angelina's cousins - the preteen girl is Angelina's sister Juliette and the Piano Player is Rob Christie Director of the Republic Records Los Angeles Studio which is the record label that Angelina has been signed with since she was 14 years old.
Thank you for the heartfelt reaction. 🤗🤗You are not the first person this girl has moved to tears and you won't be the last. Angelina is a storyteller extraordinaire. I have heard this song many times and I never really got what it was about until I heard this performance. Jealousy is a serious theme and she does it justice with this rendition.
I totally get the emotion this performance provoked on you. Specially if you had the Elvis version in mind, this one Angelina arranged like a balad hits you hard. Not only because you can really understand the lyrics and the story behind it, but mainly listening to the power and yet softness in her voice. And of course, the video is wonderful, Angelina's outfit, guitar and hairdo brings back all of Elvis and his wife Priscilla's style, as does the outfit of the piano player who by the way is Rob Christie, Republic Records Studio Director, music producer and creative manager.
Had a sneaky feeling you would like;) LOL Mind blown huh? Executive Producer was her grandma Mery Zamani. Quite a leap going from young Angelina to this! We aren't lying when we say she has been amazing in every performance from the get go;) Piano player is the studio exec and grammy winner. The 2 younger kids are her cousins and the 3rd is is her sis. I saw the tears. She has the affect on people;)
Angelina slowed this song down and uncovered it so that you hear the lyrics rather than just the musical beat as Elvis did. Her voice is stellar, and as you said, with all her influences. And with that, she evoked emotion on another level. Once Angelina gets you like that, you realize everything the angels have been telling you is true. There's something magical going on and you realize it more and more over time. I highly recommend Angelina's version of Unchained Melody from the musical in Portsmouth New Hampshire concert from a month ago. It is certainly up there with one of Angelina's finest performances. Peace
Crying Angelina songs is almost a requirement, it's her ability to communicate Emotion on a Super Natural Level! Check out her "Unchained Melody" performance from her recent Sold Out Concert last month, God Bless!
The Gent on the piano is Rob Christie, 2times winner of the Grammy and managing director of Republic Records Studio LA, so just a lowly musician😂. Republid Rec. built AJ even her own studio, so she can compose without disturbance. So the treasure of Norway told us, that she now composees her songs at the piano in the studio. She composes since age 10. Now, today, so she told us all, she has written over 100 songs. Elmar from Germany
You have just discovered the greatest living storyteller, capable of melting even the hardest heart. From the very introduction she captures you, taking you into her magical world. Her perfection is such that I have heard it said several times, even by expert reactors, that this song "should have been done the way Angelina had done it". Some say she doesn't sing a song, but she figures it out.
Dude it hit me the same way. talk symbolism later. Rb Sorry went down for a minute, OK an hour. The guitar was Elvis's. Rob Christie owned it for a time, the dude on piano. This whole thing is tribute to the Elvis family with the passing of Lisa Marie. Rb
Great reaction to AJ 's beautiful tribute to Elvis who she loves there are lots of touches, Priscilla's hair , the leathers , a copy of his guitar which she borrowed from the pianist Rob Christie from Republic Records who has been working with AJ since she signed with them at 14yrs old. Just to add they have just built her , her own studio. Yes she is a master storyteller and is all about the feeling right down to a breath or a single syllable her attention to detail is unmatched along with everything else she does. Once she has your heart she will never leave and all of us adore her for her giant talent but also her giant heart.💗👣. By the way you are never safe from feeling with AJ you just accept it, no artist has ever touched me like she does, and you will find many of us feel the same.
You're absolutely right, Elvis' cover of this song is very upbeat, almost a happy song. This video is full of visual references to Elvis. It can be seen as a tribute to him, it was released in time for last year's premiere of the Elvis biopic you mentioned and brought Angelina a lot of attention and a meeting with Pricilla Presley. It shows very well why Elvis is called a great entertainer and Angelina a master storyteller who is able to convey emotions like no other. Angelina pays tribute to Elvis while bringing back the meaning the original artist/songwriter (Mark James) intended, so the impact is different. Your brain may comprehend it better this time, because Angelina is now almost 6 feet tall and looks like the grown woman her voice belongs to, but she's still a 16-year-old teenager here. And you can expect something special when a Grammy winner plays his own piano arrangement as accompaniment. 😉
The guy on the piano is multi grammy winner and director of Republic Records L.A. studios Rob Christie, who has been a mentor to AJ since she signed with Republic. Angelina makes you feel this song with her haunting rendition of this Mark James song.Thx.
Thnks 4 this genuine, totally engaged reaction. Angelina's gift card, specially signed with her one-of-a-kind, deep grasp of lyrical interpretation; presented with a healthy serving of emotion..RAW. singers can belt their voice completely through a song, thinking that's emotion...but our Angel reaches in, and gives your heart a huge hug and all of her voice, heartfelt emotion ..no one in the industry can accomplish what she just did to you, all of us have been moved to this point. It was a wonderfully crafted musical flight, and the softest landing ever! PEACE!!
I’ve watched this about 20 times and once again-perhaps because of your reaction as well- she got me again😢. This is among my top 10 favorites of Angelina. The setting by grandmother Meri, the piano by Rob Christie and Angelina’s heartfelt voice as a tribute to Elvis make it so beautiful! I’d love to see her release this in a slightly longer version on her Republic LP when it comes.
The pianist Rob Christie (music studio director of Republic Records distribution of UMG, two-time Grammy winner) changed the musical arrangement and Angelina changed the vocal arrangement, but she didn't change the lyrics. Angelina changes the lyrical structure starting with the bridge and gives the song a different meaning than Felton Jarvis and Mark James , Angelina version absolutely fits the lyric better. Once again, many people don't hear and understand the song until Angelina tells the story. 👣 💯 *AJ* 💯👣 The producer Felton Jarvis from Elvis Presley cleverly covered this *Mark James song from 1968 in 1969* , Elvis' last #1 hit in the US and #7 of his most successful songs. Felton Jarvis took the original country arrangement completely from Mark James and pushed the song with more speed and additional instruments (wind instruments, violin etc.) and a spectacular backing choir (in the studio version).
Absolutely phenomenal performance from our musical genius, the first two little girls in the video are Angelina’s cousins her uncle Mike children, Uncle Mike is also her Manager, the eldest girl is Angelina’s sister Juliette, production input from Angelina’s Grandma Mery Zamani who is a talented Iranian artist and poet,the pianist is two times Grammy Award winner Rob Christie the Musical Director of Republic Records.( Angelina signed with Republic Records at 14 years old), Angelina is paying tribute to Elvis with her black outfit and her red guitar and Pricilla Presley hair style,Cover of a Cover as the original artist Mark James who wrote and recorded Suspicious Minds didn’t achieve with his original, then Elvis Covered the song and it was a hit, great reaction thanks 🙏 glad you’re enjoying this once in a generation talent, Angelina is so special!
This was a good one. Be prepared when you Listen to Million Miles. She wrote it for her grand father, who passed away around this time. Absolutely amazing. It will get you every time. For me, it doesn't matter how many times I listen.
Nothing to be ashamed about. Angelina Jordan version touched everyone souls That's why Angelina Jordan fan base is called Angels. Check out her version of It's a man's world. James Brown cover
You already knew she was special, but be prepared for more surprises, no matter her age. The amazing piano player is Rob Christie, Grammy winning producer and Studio Director for Republic Records, taking time away from his day job to accompany Angelina on this and many more of her recordings. He has mentored her through the recording process since she signed with RR. The video was produced by her grandmother, Mery Zamani.
My thoughts on this, Power & Pure Velvet Perfection! This vocal arrangement was all Angelina, I have no doubt in collaboration with a stellar team including Rob Christie & Mery Zamani her Grandmother. She is a Master Storyteller. The video is shot in the same Antique Store that she did 'My Funny Valentine' on Valentine’s Day. I believe it is in LA near her home. I believe the girls in the video represent Angelina's Journey from infancy to present through the classics of music history. Thus the Antique store, She grew up studying and performing these classics. That is Rob Christie on piano. Sister Juliette and a couple of Uncle Michael's Babies. I think that makes them cousins not nieces. Full Black Leather Bodysuit, the guitar from his concert in 68 and the hair a homage to Priscilla Presley. Yeah! She can bring tears to your eyes. I base my interpretation on my knowledge of Angelina's journey from an 18 month old little girl singing a "classic" of music history 'I Will Always Love You' . She has been listening to these classics on repeat on CZcams since then under the guidance and inspiration of her Grandmother Mery Zamani. She has been performing these classics since her first time in studio at 6 yrs old.. She has continued this journey through her 1st introduction to the world with her "Classic'" 'Gloomy Sunday’ and following with her many performances at her many Jazz Festivals, TV performances, Concerts, and charity events, studio recordings and practice sessions at home accompanied or not. The location in the Antique store represents these classics (like the furniture) of another era. To me she portrays wonder at all these classics surrounding her. as she has travelled this road. Her tribute to Elvis is at her present age, today, each stage represented by her cousins and sister and ending with Angelina herself on the couch still admiring all this history surrounding her. The beautiful rendition of the song, and other tributes are in the leather outfit, Guitar and hair a tribute to Priscilla. 🔥🔥🔥♥👣
You have already heard her when she was 10 years old, although at that time she was more surprising because of her age than because of her enormous quality, it's even scary to think about what she can do at 30 years old. Now, quite a woman without even turning 18, she makes it quite clear, you will understand it when you listen to her latest EP. By the way, we have the same problem, I also shed tears when a voice reaches my soul.
It is such a privilage to listen to her grow up trying on industry greats....many songs thought to be untouchable. She is fearless. Whether its Elvis, Adele, Whitney or Michael Jackson......she puts her mark on it. Yes grammy winning Rob Christie does an excellent job on piano.
A beautyful reaction 🥰 Angelina has a way to make us feel the song. She’s an amazing storyteller. I’m gonna let the other angel friends give you information. I’m a broken angel so my memory is bad. Please keep the reactions coming. I like that you are so calm it’s nice. Hug for you my friend 🥰❤️
Yep! She’s got you just like the rest of us Angels! This is what Angelina does, she has the unique ability to make us FEEL her singing. If you have a few more tears to shed May I suggest you watch her video “Million Miles” an original song she wrote at 14 years after losing her beloved maternal grandfather.
Beautiful reaction my friend ❤ I would say u are now an Angel , just from ur reaction . She does that to all off us , mine was Bohemian Rhapsody❤ and the her original Million Miles❤ really like ur journey down The rabbit Hole . And to think u barely scratched the surface my friend hehe😉😋 have a good one Buddy 😊
Fantastic reaction! Thank you! The reason that "guy" is amazing on the piano is because he is none other than Rob Christie, multi-Grammy winner and executive producer at Republic Records! Angelina signed with Republic in August 2020 at age 14, and he has become her mentor and a close friend of her and her family. You will see him again in other videos, such as "All I Ask" (Adele cover), "Heal the World" (Michael Jackson cover), "Million Miles" (Angelina original in b&w studio setting), and I think a couple of others. They're amazing together!
The key of the doorbell ring is the key song starts in, the hair guitar and leather a tribute to Elvis as is Rob Christie on piano dressed as the Jordanairs who backed Elvis.
Here’s a few safe ones for you: Angelina Jordan-Something’s Got a HoldOn Me (Allsang pa Grensen) she’s like 11, she’ll take you church on this one; Angelina Jordan-Lovin’ you-Proysenfestivallen-21.07.2017 she’s 12; Angelina Jordan & Forsvarets Stabsmusikkorps-It’s A Man’s World she’s like 13; and now to the last safe one: they’re two studio videos that Angelina recorded of Whitney Houston so recommend selecting Angelina Jordan-I Have Nothing (Whitney Houston Tribute) she’s like 12 and is wearing a white long sleeve blouse with headphones display’s powerful vocal ranges in this studio version. ENJOY!
I'm repeating myself with something I just wrote in my response to your reaction on Angelina's rendition of "I put a spell on you": She's simply the best -- and always has been! And as you've experienced now, she has been improving continuously. That was a truly touching reaction -- very likable. Never expect that any of her songs can't do that. Those who have been around for longer know. But it's perfectly fine. Angelina transcends. Somebody once noted that she can make stones cry. Welcome to Angelina's crowd. When I heard this song for the first time and she sang the first note, it hit me like a slegehammer. BTW, you noticed that the boots she wore when she stepped into the room were gone when she started to sing, did you? The kids are Angelina's younger sister (the last one) and her two nieces (the younger ones). Her grandma Mery Zamani has been the executive producer of this video. Love from Germany
Yeah bro...... two hours a day for me. I'm an Angelina junkie. I love her. I saw her in NH and cried through half of it. There are no earthly words for her. Thanks for your genuine sincere reaction. 👍
Thanks for this Wonderfull reaction. and You really cry, man.... wonderful to see...I have also cry over this song. And many, many others song she sings. She is incedibul so fenomenal to cover songs, and to do them better than the original...she put inn som more feelings in them its touching my heart again and again and again
That first note gets everyone. I still get goosebumps when I hear it after dozens of listens. I feel Ive used every superlative there is to describe her and it never seems sufficient. ❤
My interpretation of the symbolism of this music video: First, and foremost; Angelina Jordan at 16 is the epitome of a Storytelling ARTIST, and she has the ability to take us by the hand and lead us down an imaginary path that we visualize as reality. The remarkable fact is that we experience this in each of her performances. In this video we see her as a married woman in her mid to late 20s. As the video starts out, we see dishes, and it is a symbol of a home. As AJ sings the phrase “Were caught in a trap, I can’t walk out” we see 3 small children, this to me is a marriage where the children come first. If it were AJ by herself, she would not stay in a relation without trust.
(The pianist is Rob Christie) Rob Christie 2 Grammy pianist, Alan Walker composer DJ, Gregg Field has won 9 Grammy Awards and drummed with artists such as Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra, David Foster 8 Gramys, Gene Simmons (Kiss group), Norah Jones 9 times Grammy winner, Quincy Jones ( former producer of MJ), Saxophonist Jimmy Z, former drummer of Michael Jackson Jonathan Moffet, Mark Ronson composer and DJ winner of 7 Grammys and an Oscar, Queen (Brian May, Roger Taylor) etc, etc. .... Diane Warren the most famous and successful songwriter of all time, the above mentioned asked to meet her personally in Los Angeles CA at her record label she was signed to as a top priority artist at age 14, the biggest and most powerful record label today Republic Record Universal music, and they commented quote : "that in all her years of career playing with the best singers and performers in the world they never knew a similar talent as Angelina Jordan" others said "she can only be compared to Michael Jackson there is no one who can interpret songs like her" and others said: "possibly we have just met the best vocalist of all time she is a storyteller". México
Grammy-worthy in all aspects. But her voice, oh my God. Pure and piercing right to the heart and soul of my being.
Angelina doesn’t cover other's songs, she uncovers them.
… ELVIS and ANGELINA... my absolute favourites!! … What a great tribute to the King! Elvis would be honored and speechless 😮!! … I can't even describe how incredibly good these two are!!… Phenomenal!! ✨💎✨ 🕺🏻🎸🕯Thank you
Our tears are sacred and the sound of Angelina's voice often lifts healing out of us. Grandma Ellen, with tenderness.
And it only gets better and better........great reaction.
Bro, you’re never going to be ready for the emotional response when Angelina’s voice touches your soul. There is nothing else like her.
I think you now understand why the Angels are so completely hooked on Angelina. She doesn’t compete with Elvis here, but she gives us a new meaning for the lyrics that Elvis never tried to do. And she does that with a textured, mesmerizing voice.
Elvis is a legend and rightly so but, in his versions of this song I never believed a word he said (although, he was entertaining). In Angelina's version, as usual, I was mesmerized by every word, every breath, and I believed it all.
I've been an Angel for almost 8 years now. I don't know what it is like going from 10 year old Angelina to 16 year old in a manner of minutes or hours, but I can imagine it's alot to process.
Elvis just returned to the building to hear AJ sing !!!
Angelina does that to us!
😢
It’s normal brother, when she sings!
Believe me when I say, we understand!
King of all music = Elvis
Queen of Music = Angelina
Thank you Soooo much for your raw, and very genuine reaction to such a classic song. AJ has made the most manly of men cry and taken them on a emotional rollercoaster 🎢 ride of just Pure beauty, and just mesmerises making songs her own. Appreciated your reaction to this beautiful child prodigy/ young beautiful lady with an absolute heart of gold. You will always be amazed no matter what age you view her sing.
Check out this Elvis one it's a videography mashup it will pull at the heart without a Doubt.

Great reaction
Welcome. She is just magical. She just take us to a special place. I say she hypnotized me with her voice.
Love this versjon
👣Oooh yeaahhh😪🤩 💖👣
Rob Christie is the award winning pianist/musical director from Republic Records.
Someone said Angelina doesn't cover a song she uncovers it. Everytime.
I doubt there is any serious Angelina fan who has not been brought to tears by the way she conveys the emotion of a song with her beautiful voice! Indeed, it happens to me almost daily! She is special!
The 2 younger girls are her cousins, her uncle/manager Mike's kids.
The older one is her sister. The pianist Rob Christie is a two time Grammy award winning producer and record company executive. He is the director of Republic Records studio in Los Angeles, which has been the "recording-home" for Angelina, since she signed with Republic Records in 2020. She is the G.O.A.T.
She gets in deep doesn't she?
💯
Awww! You're an 😇 now! Here's your 🪽!
She brings me to tears on the regular!
"Rather than being your thoughts and emotions... Be the awareness behind them." - Eckhart [ Ms. Angelina "Magical Vocalist" Jordan ] Tolle
Its always dangerous peaking around the curtain to see the "Wizard"
The guy playing the piano is 2 time Grammy Award winning producer Rob Christie who is the studio director for Republic Records and is a master at developing new talent, making him a perfect fit for Angelina. You have a long way to go, but I would suggest you listen to her new EP next, then you can go back and listen to the last decade of Angelina Jordan.
If you didnt catch the intro she uncovers the chair mirror and piano asking you to please have a seat and reflect on some music.
Don’t miss her cover of classic James Brown « It’s A Man World », live in concert at 12 yo. You will be blown away. Don’t worry it’s normal she always do this to many of us.
After a year of tears 359 of 365 days and more after, I stopped counting.
She got you on this one! This young artist has a special talent for hitting you right to the core of your soul. It’s her specialty and it catches you off guard. Don’t worry, she’s done it to us all. Loving your journey so far. Thanks.
Wonderful reaction! She will get you again and again, you can count on that. She sings the story like no other, uncovering the true essence of the song.
Very beautiful reaction thank you best heartfelt reaction ever your on a long journey with our barefoot princess but it's worth it wild Bill angel 😇 since 2016.

anguish is a real thing.... this performance is heavy with it... and all the while so very very beautiful
This was a good one. Be prepared when you Listen to Million Miles. She wrote it for her grand father, who passed away around this time. Absolutely amazing. It will get you every time. For me, it doesn't matter how many times I listen.

Nothing to be ashamed about. Angelina Jordan version touched everyone souls That's why Angelina Jordan fan base is called Angels. Check out her version of It's a man's world. James Brown cover
Angelina captivates from the first note, then takes us on a journey through the story.
You already knew she was special, but be prepared for more surprises, no matter her age. The amazing piano player is Rob Christie, Grammy winning producer and Studio Director for Republic Records, taking time away from his day job to accompany Angelina on this and many more of her recordings. He has mentored her through the recording process since she signed with RR. The video was produced by her grandmother, Mery Zamani.
My thoughts on this,
Power & Pure Velvet Perfection! This vocal arrangement was all Angelina, I have no doubt in collaboration with a stellar team including Rob Christie & Mery Zamani her Grandmother. She is a Master Storyteller. The video is shot in the same Antique Store that she did 'My Funny Valentine' on Valentine’s Day. I believe it is in LA near her home. I believe the girls in the video represent Angelina's Journey from infancy to present through the classics of music history. Thus the Antique store, She grew up studying and performing these classics. That is Rob Christie on piano. Sister Juliette and a couple of Uncle Michael's Babies. I think that makes them cousins not nieces. Full Black Leather Bodysuit, the guitar from his concert in 68 and the hair a homage to Priscilla Presley. Yeah! She can bring tears to your eyes.
I base my interpretation on my knowledge of Angelina's journey from an 18 month old little girl singing a "classic" of music history 'I Will Always Love You' . She has been listening to these classics on repeat on CZcams since then under the guidance and inspiration of her Grandmother Mery Zamani.
She has been performing these classics since her first time in studio at 6 yrs old.. She has continued this journey through her 1st introduction to the world with her "Classic'" 'Gloomy Sunday’ and following with her many performances at her many Jazz Festivals, TV performances, Concerts, and charity events, studio recordings and practice sessions at home accompanied or not. The location in the Antique store represents these classics (like the furniture) of another era. To me she portrays wonder at all these classics surrounding her. as she has travelled this road. Her tribute to Elvis is at her present age, today, each stage represented by her cousins and sister and ending with Angelina herself on the couch still admiring all this history surrounding her. The beautiful rendition of the song, and other tributes are in the leather outfit, Guitar and hair a tribute to Priscilla. 🔥🔥🔥♥👣
Little girl grew up LOL!
You have already heard her when she was 10 years old, although at that time she was more surprising because of her age than because of her enormous quality, it's even scary to think about what she can do at 30 years old. Now, quite a woman without even turning 18, she makes it quite clear, you will understand it when you listen to her latest EP. By the way, we have the same problem, I also shed tears when a voice reaches my soul.
Angelina sings this song with such vulnerability, it's hard not to get emotional. Such a beautiful interpretation of the song ♥
It is such a privilage to listen to her grow up trying on industry greats....many songs thought to be untouchable. She is fearless. Whether its Elvis, Adele, Whitney or Michael Jackson......she puts her mark on it. Yes grammy winning Rob Christie does an excellent job on piano.
A beautyful reaction 🥰 Angelina has a way to make us feel the song. She’s an amazing storyteller. I’m gonna let the other angel friends give you information. I’m a broken angel so my memory is bad. Please keep the reactions coming. I like that you are so calm it’s nice. Hug for you my friend 🥰❤️
Yep! She’s got you just like the rest of us Angels! This is what Angelina does, she has the unique ability to make us FEEL her singing. If you have a few more tears to shed May I suggest you watch her video “Million Miles” an original song she wrote at 14 years after losing her beloved maternal grandfather.
Beautiful reaction my friend ❤ I would say u are now an Angel , just from ur reaction . She does that to all off us , mine was Bohemian Rhapsody❤ and the her original Million Miles❤ really like ur journey down The rabbit Hole . And to think u barely scratched the surface my friend hehe😉😋 have a good one Buddy 😊
Simply beautiful. 💙👣
That first note is like a snowflake on your tongue or the first time your child reaches up for your hand. ❤
Perfect reaction! Thank you
Fantastic reaction! Thank you! The reason that "guy" is amazing on the piano is because he is none other than Rob Christie, multi-Grammy winner and executive producer at Republic Records! Angelina signed with Republic in August 2020 at age 14, and he has become her mentor and a close friend of her and her family. You will see him again in other videos, such as "All I Ask" (Adele cover), "Heal the World" (Michael Jackson cover), "Million Miles" (Angelina original in b&w studio setting), and I think a couple of others. They're amazing together!
The key of the doorbell ring is the key song starts in, the hair guitar and leather a tribute to Elvis as is Rob Christie on piano dressed as the Jordanairs who backed Elvis.
since when [I ask] can a 15 yr old consistently make grown men cry?
Here’s a few safe ones for you: Angelina Jordan-Something’s Got a HoldOn Me (Allsang pa Grensen) she’s like 11, she’ll take you church on this one; Angelina Jordan-Lovin’ you-Proysenfestivallen-21.07.2017 she’s 12; Angelina Jordan & Forsvarets Stabsmusikkorps-It’s A Man’s World she’s like 13; and now to the last safe one: they’re two studio videos that Angelina recorded of Whitney Houston so recommend selecting Angelina Jordan-I Have Nothing (Whitney Houston Tribute) she’s like 12 and is wearing a white long sleeve blouse with headphones display’s powerful vocal ranges in this studio version. ENJOY!
I'm repeating myself with something I just wrote in my response to your reaction on Angelina's rendition of "I put a spell on you": She's simply the best -- and always has been! And as you've experienced now, she has been improving continuously.
That was a truly touching reaction -- very likable. Never expect that any of her songs can't do that. Those who have been around for longer know. But it's perfectly fine. Angelina transcends. Somebody once noted that she can make stones cry. Welcome to Angelina's crowd. When I heard this song for the first time and she sang the first note, it hit me like a slegehammer.
BTW, you noticed that the boots she wore when she stepped into the room were gone when she started to sing, did you? The kids are Angelina's younger sister (the last one) and her two nieces (the younger ones). Her grandma Mery Zamani has been the executive producer of this video.
Love from Germany
Yeah bro...... two hours a day for me. I'm an Angelina junkie. I love her. I saw her in NH and cried through half of it. There are no earthly words for her. Thanks for your genuine sincere reaction. 👍
Thanks for this Wonderfull reaction. and You really cry, man.... wonderful to see...I have also cry over this song. And many, many others song she sings. She is incedibul so fenomenal to cover songs, and to do them better than the original...she put inn som more feelings in them its touching my heart again and again and again
That first note gets everyone. I still get goosebumps when I hear it after dozens of listens. I feel Ive used every superlative there is to describe her and it never seems sufficient. ❤
90% of her songs will get you! Keep going.
👍👍👍👍
I've heard that from Elvis a thousand time but never felt like I did when I heard Angelina and was gobsmacked.
She is real that’s what it is
Thank you Sweeheart when she sings she takes you there.🥰😍🤩
My interpretation of the symbolism of this music video: First, and foremost; Angelina Jordan at 16 is the epitome of a Storytelling ARTIST, and she has the ability to take us by the hand and lead us down an imaginary path that we visualize as reality. The remarkable fact is that we experience this in each of her performances. In this video we see her as a married woman in her mid to late 20s. As the video starts out, we see dishes, and it is a symbol of a home. As AJ sings the phrase “Were caught in a trap, I can’t walk out” we see 3 small children, this to me is a marriage where the children come first. If it were AJ by herself, she would not stay in a relation without trust.
Great heartfelt reaction 😊
The piano player is the CEO of Republic Records and 2-time Grammy winner Rob Christie, when Angelina needs a piano player Rob is always there
I really wish you were so right about Christie there. Often he’s not or it isn’t him.
@@pa1189j I didn't say with every piano accompaniment but with Easy On Me, All I Ask, Suspicious Minds, Million Miles, and others
@@peterstadelmeier he’s not playing on some of those you mention. Check the description of Easy on Me.
@@pa1189j I don't understand that, Rob is definitely sitting at the piano during the studio recording
@@peterstadelmeier yes he’s visible but it’s not who you hear. czcams.com/video/cXf-u5Pq39s/video.html
Here her sing my funny Valentine Angelina Jordan
You weren't ready, You needed to do a couple more of her at a younger age then do this one; regardless, great reaction.
