The background. This is for Narges Mohammedi, who is currently serving 31 year sentence in Iran for supporting human rights. Narges'Children was there to receive the award. Angelina's grandmother Mery Zamani is lranian. So this has personal significance for Angelina. This song was originally written as part of a 1955 movie "Unchained", about a man imprisoned longing for his love ones. When she looks at Narges' Children and sings " l be coming home, wait for me". That's why she performed this with great reverance, this was an honor for Angelina. Thank You
For someone who doesn’t know Angelina very well, you have a good understanding of what so many of us love about her singing. Angelina has incredible vocal skills in her vocal toolkit, but she doesn’t flaunt them. Her interest is the song, the music, and the lyrical interpretation. Her performances are not about her, but about giving the song justice, usually in a way we haven’t heard or imagined before.
Your comment about Priscilla is an absolutely perfect entree into your next Angelina reaction. By all means, watch and be stunned by her cover of Elvis’s Suspicious Minds. This is Angelina hitting on all cylinders: musically, vocally, aesthetically, and visually. Watch how she can pay obvious homage to the original while making her version the one you’ll never forget. Here’s the link: czcams.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/video.htmlsi=LI76KDs3r1EHinCQ
Well said...¡¡¡ Beautiful words..
Well said. Her grandmother is Iranian and the women who was honored at the concert is from Iran imprisoned for fighting for woman's rights.Her version of this was brilliant for the occasion .
That makes Angelina 1/4 Iranian. I have "heard" (interweb chatter) that she speaks at least some Farsi.
I've been curious for a long time to know if she can speak or sing in Farsi. I have a feeling as she gets older she will embrace that part of her heritage more and more.
In 2014, a little Norwegian girl was named and codified, a national treasure by both the King of Norway and the prime Minister. That same year, she sang for the Nobel peace prize winners all at the age of 8.
In 2023, that same girl, now almost 18 once again graced the Nobel peace prize stage and sang for the recipient once again.
That young girl is none other than Angelina Jordan.
Angelina Jordan made history with this performance.
Angelina is the only solo singer under the age of 18 to have performed twice at the Nobel peace prize concert.
When I learned the story of Narges Mohammadi, this years recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, and the history of the song "Unchained Melody", I fully understood why Angelina Jordan chose this song.
P.S.: Angelina arranged the music and vocals for this performance. She thanked the director of KORK publicly for allowing her to do this.
Here's a link to all of her performances of this song:
Angelina Jordan - Unchained Melody - Evolution from 8 to almost 18...
czcams.com/video/ZSDQP47klpE/video.html
Classically elegant with grace, poise and humulity in a world that is sorely lacking in all that.
The context of this majestic rendition of "Unchained Melody" must be taken into account. AJ was singing in front of an audience of officials and on a special occasion, the presentation of the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize. What's more, this year's recipient of the prize is 51-year-old Iranian journalist Narges Mohammadi, currently imprisoned as she has been many times since 1998. And don't forget that AJ's grandmother, Mery Zamani, is Iranian. We can therefore assume that she feels particularly concerned by her country of origin, and that the imprisonment of a woman as courageous as Narges Mohammadi does not leave her indifferent.
She knows what she is doing especially for this occasion.
Yes ,all the Angels ( that's what Angelina calls her fans) understand Angelina does not need to show off. She only needs to be Angelina.❤❤❤❤❤
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 in December 2023 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, as many reactors have done. 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.
You got her in one. She doesn’t need to prance about wearing next to nothing, nor would she want to! She lives to sing, not for her self satisfaction, but to make the World a better place. A very grounded, humble, beautiful person and we are all so lucky to enjoy her talent.
Why do you think she decided to sing the song in such a sad and emotional way? She, too, was aware of the original message of the song and because of the event she was singing at, she and the orchestra arranged the song to bring forth the message of a love separated. This performance was at the Nobel Peace Prize Award Ceremony in Oslo, Norway, (where Angelina was born) and the recipient of the award was Narges Mohammadi, an Iranian woman in an Iranian prison for speaking out about the rights of women and the oppression of women in general. Her husband and her two children (twins, a boy and a girl) currently live in France and they hadn't seen her in years. Some time ago the Iranian officials considered releasing her from prison but with one condition, she stop speaking about women's right. Narges met with her husband and her children and they spoke of their love for each other but Narges reminded them about how strongly she felt about those issues and said she could never agree to such a condition. So, she remains in prison. It was a wonderful gesture for the Nobel Peace Prize Committee to recognize Narges and her efforts and the hope is some day both sides will come to a compromise of sorts and she will be set free. But one important factor may make that highly unlikely because Narges said, if released, she has no intention of ever leaving Iran. Angelina is part Iranian (her grandma) and Angelina is not only Iranian but is also Norwegian, Swedish and Japanese. (The mystery of Angelina is never ending.) So you can see the connection she had to performing at the event was very personal. (Btw, the twin children were sitting right in front of Angelina as she sang the song. Angelina was quoted as saying she was scared she might start to cry during the performance but she kept it together, didn't she?
PLEASE PLAY IT AGAIN FOR YOUR PERSONAL PLEASURE NOW THAT YOU KNOW THE STORY BEHIND THE PERFORMANCE. only Angelina...
In addition to covers, Angelina has been writing songs since she was 10 years 0ld - So far 12 have been released: Oslo, What is Life?, Shield, Million Miles, 7th Heaven, Love Don't Let Me Go, Now I'm The Fool, Fire and Rain, All My Fault, Good in Goodbyes, Diamond, and Our Time. Angelina has stated that she has written about 100 songs that have yet to be released. Her songs are taken from her Journal writings. When she was 10/11 she rewrote the Lyrics to Amy Winehouse's Back to Black and Rehab to make them more age appropriate at that time. In addition, Angelina premiered another new song (Princess of Ruins) at her recent Las Vegas concert which has not been released - when it is - it will be her 13th released song.
Nice reaction, thanks and yes most Angels know exactly what you mean. Angelina is all about the emotion in a song and time and again she gets our feels with her interpretation of songs.
Simply put, Angelina sings on a higher plane of consciousness!

Boudy, thanks for your wonderful reaction to this beautiful, touching, respectful performance by Angelina Jordan. Boudy, I greatly respect your commentary about the choices Angelina made for this performance. As always, it is about the song and the occasion, for Angelina.
I thought "Unchained Melody" was an odd choice for this event, but have since learned the history of the song. More on that later.
Certainly Angelina was thrilled to be performing back in her home country of Norway, where she is a national treasure, but this performance goes way beyond that honor. She first performed at the Save the Children event at the 2014 Peace Prize event, when she was 8 years old.
Narges Mohammadi was this year's recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Narges, is currently 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".
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. It has been nine years since Narges has seen her twin children who are now 18, or her husband.
I think you have to know the background of this performance to really appreciate this ❤️ Knowing the backstory is an advantage IMO ❤️👍
She is already an artist for the big occasions with e.g. The new FIFA World Cup's official anthem, in addition to several major performances. Like few artists, she has performed for the Nobel Peace Prize at the age of 8 and 17. And 2 shows in Las Vegas ... She is 18 today.
250 songs both covers and originals left to listen to! She has had many live performances.
Great reaction! Yes, AJ is very grounded in who she is -- that's one of the most remarkable things about her: she never overdoes a performance simply to show off her (enormous) talent.
Great reaction, I love to hear any song by her! She places such great emotion in every single song that’s exactly what is needed!!! Enjoyed hearing your analysis! Low bass Kenneth!
More background for this performance, this year's honoree is a human rights activist imprisoned in Iran. Also, Angelina's grandmother, Mery Zamani, is Iranian.
Timeless, eloquent, exquisite and stunningly beautiful. Angelina Jordan encompasses all these wonderful qualities and delivered a masterful performance with the world famous orchestra Kork. Angelina, as you can see, always has such grace and poise when she sings and in this performance her reverent vocals were so much in tune with the real meaning of this song. This song at the Nobel Peace prize event with a live concert audience and a TV audience of millions is unbelievable. Remember, Angelina Jordan was only 17 and looks like a diva on stage and absolute goddess singing her soul to the husband and siblings of Marge's Mohammadi, who is currently imprisoned as a human rights and women's activist in Iran. On special note, Angelina is from Norway, Oslo where the Nobel Peace prize event is performed and her ties to this woman from Iran. through her grandmother Mery who is also Iranian so Angela was able to deliver this directly to the recipients of this award. And boy, did she ever do a fabulous job. I want to thank you for continuing your wonderful journey with our beautiful barefoot princess. Keep posting my friend, your CZcams channel is so important to all the angels all over the world. Sending you much thanks and love from Canada 👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️
Shes the only person to be invited to ever sing twice at the nobel ceremonys. FANTASTIC 😂❤
The only one under 18
There have been several who have performed twice (Senead O'Conner, Youssou N'dour, et.al.) at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony, but at age 8, Angelina was the youngest ever. And at age 17, she became the only person under 18 to perform twice at this prestigiouis ceremony. Being from Oslo, and considered a National Treasure by many Norwegians, my guess is we haven't seen the last of A.J. at this event.
Under 18 only, there was an Irish singer that has already done it twice.
@@localnetsolutions Actually, there are several singers that have done it twice. Did you read my comment?
I only new of the one but I am not surprised @@wajj1842
I think her dress is designed to symbolize peace. A dove of peace where the sleeves are long wings. Even the tiara is specially designed for Angelina, for this occasion.
Thanks so much for your "Koality" Reaction to our favorite singer on the face of the Earth. You're so right; Angelina *always* puts her voice and her talents in the service of the song rather using the song as a vehicle to show off everything she can do. Like you said, "classy." Please keep listening to Angelina (and reacting to her when you have the time). Have a great week.
ENCHANTING
Great reaction. Angelina performs for the sheer joy of the music and touching and moving people. I think the phrase you are looking for is she doesn't feel the need to "Show off". Angelina interprets the lyrics and presents the story of any song she performs in an authentic and respectful manner as she feels it. I have never seen a more honest, humble, and authentic performer than Angelina Jordan. She may never "blow up" in the pop world but I believe she will be renowned throughout the music industry and leave an indelible stamp on music for generations to come.
THAT was the reason Angelina was asked to perform for THIS nominee, an Iranian woman who champions rights.
Unchained Melody (AJ, at the age of 17 performed at the Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony December 2023 in Oslo, Norway.)I watched as Angelina Jordan stepped onto the stage, her presence commanding attention. The room hushed, anticipation hanging in the air like a delicate thread. She stood there, a young girl with an old soul, ready to weave magic with her voice. As the first notes of "Unchained Melody" filled the room, time seemed to slow. Angelina's voice wrapped around each word, infusing them with a depth that transcended mere lyrics. It was as though the song had been written for her, and her alone. The audience held its breath as she sang. Her voice soared, reaching heights that touched the heavens. The pain and longing in her eyes mirrored the emotions in the song-the heartache, the yearning. It was more than a performance; it was a revelation. The chorus came, and Angelina's voice swelled, filling every corner of the room. " Oh, my love, my darling I've hungered, hungered for your touch," she sang, and suddenly, we all felt the real meaning of the words. The magic in her performance was like nothing we had ever experienced in our lives. The lyrics came alive and had meaning as they flowed through us. In that moment, Angelina Jordan became a vessel for something greater-an embodiment of love itself. Her voice carried us beyond our own pain and loneliness. We felt connected-to her, to each other, to something intangible yet profound. As she held that final note, time snapped back into place. The applause erupted-a thunderous acknowledgment of what we had just witnessed. But it wasn't just applause; it was gratitude-for allowing us to glimpse love and longing through Angelina's eyes. And so, we stood there, hearts full, tears in our eyes. Angelina Jordan had given us something rare-a reminder that love exists even in our brokenness. And for those few minutes, we believed it with every fiber of our being. ©
Great post Larry👏

You hit the nail on the head Angelina has no need to overdo any performance , great that you understood why she performed this song in this restrained / sombre manner .❤
Absolutely correct Angelina has no need to overdo any performance .this is the vocal style/ inflections i prefer over some of her other performances .i hope she continues to perform in this vocal style and others such as. " you say " " endless love " " when you believe " " love is a game " etc .
Great reaction, Koala! There's a lot of technique in this performance but, as you pointed out, Angelina uses it all in service of the song. There are so many wonderful musical moments on record in Angelina's career. If you'd be interested in hearing what she sounds like in the vocal booth, here's a link to a one-take performance of I'm A Fool To Want You, which she did at age eleven: czcams.com/video/79tM-Spcr1Q/video.html
She is singing at one of the most prestigious awards ceremony in the world Nobel peace ceremony ,if want a live in concert moment ,check out her concert in February 2024 singing Adels when we were young ,recorded by James Theil
The Bedford Princess is absolutely a young old soul artist, if that makes sense. She is absolutely an angel sent from heaven. She could absolutely sing anything, and that’s what makes her one of the greatest singers out there right now. Not sure why she is not bigger than she is. But I don’t care because that means I get to enjoy her more than anybody else. To me I’m 56 years old and she is one of the greatest singers I’ve ever heard in my life.
Angelina, the ultimate vocalist…God she’s good.
Angelina sings to express, not to impress. Yet she does both - gloriously! 🤩👣🔥🧡🙌❣️
Your comment about her style is perfect. She doesn't have to show off. She is just perfect with what she is doing.
Thank you for a wonderful reaction! I can only agree with you! She’s really touching your heart and soul by singing! Magical voice!👌🌟💎🌟❤️
Great reaction, she conveys the emotion of the situation Narges is currently in
Thank you for doing due diligence regards the song
This is just one of several times that Angelina has performed this song. First at age 9 on a televisión show prior to being interviewed about her book that tells the story of why she sings barefoot. Next at age 11 in a home recording that she released on CZcams. Again at age 17 at her concert in Portsmouth New Hampshire last September. In this video at age 17 at the Nobel Peace Prize tribute concert. And most recently at age 18 at her concerts in Las Vegas.
What a talent, genius.... Far beyond what we listen mainstream these days. No more to say.
You hit that nail on the head. Angelina has always been an artist she treats her voice like a musical instrument. She never shows off as its never about her ego. It is always about what is needed to convey the story and emotion of the song. She has the ability to pay homage to the origional song whilst making it her own. The fact we can never predict exactly how she will do this as no two performances are the same ... is addictive. It creates a sense of anticipation every time we know we are about to hear her sing.
Wonderful comments...Thank you.
Angelina jordan is the goddess of unchained melody ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I recommend creating a playlist for each group or singer you react to. It helps your YT standing and helps band/singer followers quickly find your content.
I’ve been meaning to do this! Thanks for the reminder! 💥
Beautiful music - AJ & KORK is a match made in heaven

"There are people we meet in life that make everything seem magical... Cherish "Ms. Angelina Jordan" Them.!!!" - Ms. AJ Angel Fan's Family...
Angelina just had her concert February 29th at Westgate Resort and casino. Two shows 7 and 9:30 38 songs total❤
Welcome to Angelina Jordan and her angels, "some of the nicest people on the net" You're going to experience a once-in-a-lifetime experience here is some history, Angelina Jordan is a music prodigy she started singing at the age of 1.5 years old and more than that she started with Billy Holiday Jazz. Angelina sings in 5 languages, designs her clothes, and has written a top-rated book called "Mellom to hjerter" (Between Two Hearts)"Norway's youngest published author" a story about why she wears no shoes during her performances, and like her name, she truly is an angel with a heart of gold. Angelina won Norway's Got Talent when her audition for Billy Hollowday's Gloomy Sunday went viral and she got world press she started the competition at 7 years old and won at 8 years old. In her younger years before age 13, she was watched over by her mother (Sara) and her Uncle, Angelina's manager, who just wanted her to grow up normal. Her mother and uncle Turned down almost 90% of all requests for her to perform. Still, even so, from age 8 to 12 years old, she has been all over the world (Her mother and or her Grandmother are never more than a breath away) Angelina has produced millions for environmental causes and children's causes around the world. Angelina has produced over 160 covers and many originals and makes them her own, all will astound you. New people to Angelina get sucked down this"rabbit hole" not believing what they're hearing her excellent vocals and unique way of singing, Angelina is a master at music structure her ability to show absolute recognition to a cover while she makes it her own is just unbelievable. Angelina writes her own music productions like Shield, Million Miles, 7th Heaven, and What is Life, and many more original productions. Angelina's mother is Norwegian, and her father is from Sweden. The " world-known artist and prodigy in her own right, grandmother (Mery Zamani) on her mother's side is from Iran, and her grandfather (recently deceased) was from Japan both grandparents are very involved with Angelina's growing up, and Angelina's song A Million Miles is about losing her grandfather and her original cut Shield is about the people that protected her and watched over her during her performances and travels. Although Angelina didn't win AGT Champions 2020 she was signed to Republic record label and is producing new music 7th Heaven, Million Miles, and Save the World she's on her way, after school, to a world market that I'm sure she'll dominate as of 2024 Angelina is 18.
This is the second time she's sang at the nobel Peace Prize. She made History. By singing twice under the age of 17.
Yes, we get what you're saying. Angelina is the best.
Bingo, even though you are a relative newbee to Angelina, you actually do know her perfectly, you just don't know it yet. Everything you said about your early impression will only be reinforced as you hear more. I always say it takes at least listening to 30-40 of her songs in various styles from many music genre to see most of what's she's got, but still not all of it. She will continue to make you say "Wow, I thought I'd seen everything, but I didn't know she could do that!" At least that's been my experience for the last 6 years. If you want to hear a Masterclass vocal performance of a classic jazz standard recorded by everybody (600+ artists), but NOBODY does it as masterfully as Angelina's 16 yo version of My Funny Valentine, Imo. Unfortunately, the video doesn't show Angelina singing, but rather her taking selfies in an antique store. However, the audio is top notch. czcams.com/video/bWiLOnHJYxg/video.html She sang it again on Feb 29th at her 2nd show in Las Vegas. That one is her "Double S Version," Sensual & Sultry, but I'm waiting until James Thiel posts his video of that version, since he is doing an amazing job making professional, high quality videos.
Actually, James Thiel just told me that BigAngieFan (Chris Walker) is producing the multi-view version of My Funny Valentine, & it should be posted in the next 4-6 days. The 2 of them are working together to cover all 20 songs from her Vegas concerts & they are professional quality.
Kind of amazing that the version of the song by the youngest singer is the one that actually best captures the emotional depth of the song! Nice reaction!
Thank you for reacting to Angelina! Her way of singing is unique at just 18 years old. I am one of those that can't stop listening to her. Really appreciate your thoughts about her. Greetings from Norway. Subscribed.
I think, not herselve but the music first is her intention. For me that is, what makes her so so great.
Angelina is a true gift to the world. As gifted as she is, I firmly believe she's the greatest vocalist ever, her talent is matched by her humanity.
Angelina delivers more 'emotion' to a song than even the originators of the song. The first judge, after her audition song for Norway's Got Talent (which she won age 8), said, "You are music!". The orchestra is called KORK and it is the Norway Public Radio Orchestra. They also played for her recording of Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black". czcams.com/video/ICY1uJe15cM/video.html
She has many covers and she always honors the originals with only the adition of Angelina emotion.
Lady, you have just fallen into that Angelina Thing. Words fails you. She is singing the song the way it supposed to be sung. Welcome and well done.
I know I don't need to say this, but thank you for loving this young lady and her talent. I honestly don't think there will be another cover of this song that can match what Angelina did here with this fabulous orchestra, nor match the depth of feeling she expresses with that emotive voice, obviously in tune with the whole point of this tribute. Truly, a class act, except she is quite real and is every bit the princess she resembles.
💯
The Queen of music on stage !!!
I think your assessment of Angelina was pretty much spot on. Now that you know the backstory of this particular performance, I'm sure you can understand why Angelina gave this song so much reverence and emotion. I enjoyed your reaction very much!
🤯👣🔥🧡🙌❣️ out-of-this-world beautiful!
Great reaction! You were spot on when you said "She doesn't need to overdo anything to say 'I can sing'". She's a storyteller and she doesn't let her signing get in the way of that.
Great reaction to the greatest version of Unchained Melody that has ever been performed in its existence since it was written in 1955 and performed by more than 1000 great vocalists.
Unchained Melody Nobel Peace Prize 2023
This video is a masterpiece that I have watched more than 100 times coming from Oslo, Norway. Every time I hear the KORK Orchestra begin playing, I feel a surge of emotion because I know what is coming next: the most amazing rendition of Unchained Melody by the incomparable Angelina Jordan. She has a voice of an angel and a talent beyond words. Unchained Melody Nobel Peace Prize 2023 Some ask why Angelina Jordan would pick Unchained Melody for this event, Narges Mohammadi, the Iranian human rights activist who received the prestigious award remains in Iran. One of the most popular and enduring love songs of all time, Unchained Melody, has a surprising origin. It was composed for a 1955 film called Unchained, which tells the story of a man who is incarcerated for a crime he did not commit. He yearns to be free and reunite with his wife and children, who are waiting for him outside. The song captures his emotions of loneliness, hope and longing, and has been covered by many artists over the years, but none in my lifetime of 76 years have conveyed such emotion as Angelina Jordan did at this performance. ©
Angelina is the best singer on this planet, her ton is unbelievebel beautiful and also nobody can tell words and a story telling like angelina is doing. Angelina is born to sing 👑❤️🌹💫
It's crazy how good she is live. This is one of those rare amazing opportunities to hear her through a gorgeously audio balanced production. Since it was for a TV program. This came out way to well. Her and the orchestra and the sound guys absolutely killed it. Super moving rendition. Kinda wish she'd record her concerts and put them out after processing the audio and balancing it, she can flex, we can listen, it'd be unreal. Sometimes the audio is so awesome on fan shot videos, but it's just not the same realm. I'm glad we got the best on this one.
Synergy is the combined efforts of individuals working together to produce a joint effect that is greater than the sum of the parts acting alone.
The collaboration between Angelina Jordan and the KORK Orchestra at the Noble Peace Prize Ceremony 2024 was a remarkable display of musical excellence, and synergy. The young singer's soulful voice and expressive interpretation of the song, Unchained Melody, captivated the audience and complemented the orchestra's rich and nuanced sound. The performance was a fitting tribute to the peace laureates and a celebration of harmony and diversity©
85% of time singing, eyes closed.
The Barefoot Angel performed this iconic song the way the original meaning of this song should have been conveyed to the listeners.
Thanks for reacting to this masterpiece performance by Angelina.
She is as beautiful on the outside as she is on the inside. She is a true treasure. A once in a lifetime treasure. I really enjoyed your video, you are very easy to listen to. You don't talk about nonsense we don't want to hear. Thank you.
Wow excellent, very exciting, Angelina is an artist where you will find in every song she sings, past, present and future, she is unique, The Best, thank you so much for the reaction and Angelina forever
Ya got me, I subscribed. Thank you for another Angelina reaction and a big thanks for the research you did about the song.
The touch of the Master's Hand.....
Sweet reaction..thanks. Angelina has 2 additional videos in which she is accompanied by the same KORK (Norway National Radio Orchestra).
Both recorded in (2016) were “Back to Black" (czcams.com/video/LbXUKzOxACU/video.htmlsi=xE-gCwAmaAVIyZQ8) and "Summertime"
(czcams.com/video/stwF4ti1tbc/video.htmlsi=oDnXxCsz8NgXd95r). Imho Angelina's slower, and more heartfelt, pace with this rendition enhances her emotionally
charged stylings. Her use of vocal fry (5:38) is to me iconic Angelina and unique to her.
😀😀😀😀😀
❤️ your reaction 👍🥰
You should watch two stories on Angelina, The Angelina Jordan Story Born to Sing the early years and Angelina 10 years in the making!
Angelina is not a talent anymore. but a world class artist!!!! 😊😊👌👌😊
❤❤❤
How do you do it. I bet your the type of person that can only eat one piece of turkish delight. Only 3 Angelina songs, there are more than 200 performances on CZcams and tiktok and instagram. I think I have listened to almost all and have never heard a bad performance even when she was sick. You should now listen to her unreleased song princess of ruins which she performed at her Las Vegas concert on 29 Feb 2024 which she wrote in honour of the poor girl she gave her shoes to as a 6 year old. ( by the way how many 18 year old singers do you know who have had there own show in Vegas)
You have captured her in words via your observations very accurately. Obviously, you’re good at this and she inspires us all. Thank you so much. I’ll be listening for more.
I believe she refrained from belting due to the somberness of the occasion.
Belting would have focused on her and not the occasion.
A humble Genius.
The headband what is one of a kind it was made especially for Angelina for this performance
No te has equivocado en nada. Amo tu reacción! ...👍👍😍😍👍👍
Nice job doing research on this song! I never really understood it either, but it was still beautiful. James Theil did a great background video that explains the origin of the song and significance of Angelina performing it a the Nobel ceremony. Also, James has done some wonderful editing of songs captured by him and other collaborators from Angelina’s Las Vegas performances. I highly recommend reacting to those because not only the video, but more importantly, the cell phone audio limitations have been corrected. Very close to the quality that it was in person.
PURE gift of grace & glory AMEN ty for sharing your gift, Angelina
You’re so crazy Easy to look at. And thanks for an amazing reaction. Thanks pretty girl,,,,
Very nice reaction.....you should really do more of Angelina.
Angelia Jordan is an 18 year old teen singer who doesn't feel the need to sex herself up and show skin to get noticed. I think that's a rarity these days, and she has my total respect and admiration
I’m not really a fan of AJ, but have to say this was a fabulous performance of the song probably the best I’ve heard.
Your reaction was spot on, I agree totally with your opinion!
Who are you a fan of?
@@kevingood4644 it’s not really my sort of genre as much as anything else but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate a really great performance, does it?
Edit: I don’t see a comment of your own from you, so why comment on my comment?
@@DarrellW_UK it wasn’t a criticism..I just wondered what your type of music might be? Odd that you’d take offence.
@@kevingood4644 OK, sorry! My genres are Symphonic metal, Rock and grunge but I do also like classical music as well. One of my favourites was Epica with Floor singing Stabat Mater Dolorosa, a huge crowd of metal fans in silence!
@@DarrellW_UK I can see why AJ might not be your thing!
Most consider Bobby Hadfield's rendition to be 'The Gold Standard' for this song, but Angelina' performance
here reaches me with more emotion laden penetration than Bobby's and has to be, in my opinion, 'The Platinum
Standard' from this point forward.
Couldnt expect any less❤
Speaking of Pricilla, you have to react to her cover video of Suspicious Minds by Elvis!
