I think the hair is more in respect to Priscilla Presley.
True. Amy wasn't even born until 15 years after this song was first released.
So many ppl commenting on this.. 😂
The A W comment was mainly to just say "she has a beehive-style". In the flow of filming this, I didn't remember the Engl. name for that hairdo. Bear with my Finnish brain dear CZcams. ❤️🇫🇮
@@annavaskelainen Finnish brains are AWESOME. 🧠👏🙌
Maybe, so many say so, only she has been wearing her up for years. Even as a little girl.
In this case she is wearing the beehive style from the 60’s as Priscilla Presley used in her wedding day
Her adult voice is starting to show. The opening phrase on this was so solid, warm, and a singers dream placement
The opening phrase grabs me every time I hear it.
She has really grown to become an outstanding and powerful singer! You will enjoy this!
Glad to see you’re back reviewing Angelina. This is signature Angelina: taking a classic, turning it upside down, slowing the tempo, making you understand every word of the lyrics-with a mesmerizing version that respects Elvis in so many ways, but is all Angelina. I don’t know what criteria people might use to say someone is the best singer they’ve ever heard, but I listen to Angelina everyday. I’ve never felt that way about any other singer in my 70+ years. Not even close.
Can't wait for you to listen to this one Anna....just beautiful.
Hi Anna, welcome back. Here's some of Angie Elvis Easter egg breakdowns. She put in a
lot of Elvis references, really amazing the respect & homage she paid to Elvis. Angie really blew this one away. I love what she did with this story This was filmed in the same place
that she did “My funny valentine” at Melrose Gallery and Antiques in West Hollywood CA.
There's a picture of (age about 1-2) baby Lisa Marie Presley on a golden couch like
Angie's cousin sat on with a white dress. There was one of Lisa also (when she’s
about 3) with white dress & she had curls like Angie’s other cousin Athena had (from her uncle Michael's kids). Plus it acted as a double meaning for us watching Angie growing up. Her sister Juilette was the older one in the white dress like Angie was in,
when she was 10-12 before she changed at 13 & her, her mom Sara & grandma Mery made clothes for her performances. (Angie made it modern & nostalgic at the same
time. She’s emotes the story, for she is a true master story teller)
The black jumpsuit & red guitar is for the welcome back tour in 1968. The hair was for
Priscilla his wife & Angie sitting on the couch too. Chandeliers, mirrors & furniture was for Graceland, the Piano player Rob Christie wearing red like Elvis piano player & you'll even see that Angie's (Elvis stance) put her leg out & bent like Elvis did. Angelina did a lot of homework & paid a lot of respect & gave us a lot of Easter eggs & there’s still more. As she usually does on her videos. Angelina is just amazing, beyond words & other singers/writers/artists/people. {She's Angelina Jordan Astar} The barefoot Angel with a 1000 voices.
Here's also an original she performed live on 7-7-22 at Kongsberg & another Official
cover she dropped on 7-23-22. (And a short awesome cover she did from Labrinth)
“Million Miles” by Angelina Jordan czcams.com/video/joKQeVbThzE/video.html Angie wrote this
after her grandpa died in 2019 during the filming of AGT-C
“I have nothing” by Whitney Houston czcams.com/video/iX0g99jN26U/video.html Official cover
Looks like they even gave her the rights to her version of the song. Dropped 7-23-22. She’s 16. I love how Angie put in some of her jazzy back phrasing & R&B in it also.
“Mount Everest” by Labrinth covered by Angelina live in concert at Kongsberg
7-7-22 czcams.com/video/DYVxnY06BWw/video.html. Go listen to the original short song & you'll be amazed what she did with this song.
Don't forget the blue suede shoes she was wearing at the beginning.
Hi, Anna! I hope to be there for the Premiere. You will not be disappointed with this performance by the young teenager I and many others consider the best singer living today. Her interpretation of this classic is so unlike any other that it will surprise you.
The video/storyline was as delicious as her voice. Great team of artists.
Good to see you beautiful Anna!! It is going to be difficult to describe Angelina as a young person with that powerhouse voice!
Oh and I did not miss your own little riffs in there as well, your voice is very sweet. You have a great week Anna...all the best!
Angelina's performance is amazing and the video is visually stunning. I love how the singer is portrayed at 5 different stages in her life -- an infant, a toddler, a tween, an impatient teen and an adult reminiscing about her life. It's a beautiful story even if the words are a bit sad. All the homages to Elvis and Priscilla are a very nice touch. One of the best music vids I've ever seen.
Can't wait Anna.... Angelina is all grown up, vocally anyways. We get to see how she's going to sound as she continues to give us great music. Hope to be with you tomorrow. ❤ ✌👍🙏🇺🇸🇩🇰🏴☠️
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. Did you notice that right foot raise it''s heal to cradle the guitar a couple of times in the performance. I was waiting for her to throw in a little shake to it in homage to the King. Could that have been intentional? 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. ♥👣
Elvis may have left the building, but now Angelina has entered !!!
Angelina's hair style, her leather suit, the guitar and even Rob Christie's red suit were a tribute to Elvis Presley. Priscilla Presley wore her hair up like that in the 60s, Elvis wore a leather suit and played either that same, or similar, guitar in his " '68 Comeback Special", and the red clothing worn by Rob Christie, Studio Director of Republic Records and 2-time Grammy Winner pianist is similar to the red clothing that the other musicians wore when they performed with Elvis during that same event. Thank you for your in depth reaction!
Thank you for all this insight dressed in such respectful manner Pa Rick! ❤️
My speciality lies in jazz and blues, I'm not so familiar with Elvis!
@@annavaskelainen It's my pleasure, Anna. In '68 I was 20 years old, so I didn't have to do much research! It could be said that I've lived through the 60s TWICE, and I'm now living through the 70s again! 😃
It's the guitar Elvis used but I don't think he owned it at the time, may have later but I think it was borrowed.
The girls in the video are family members she loves and dedicates the song and it's theme to! The two younger girls are her Manager, Uncle Mike her Mom Sara Astar's brother's daughters! The older young girl is Angelina's little sister Juliette Astar! Also Angelina's last name is also Astar, I find that a premonition, because she is A Star!
Glad to see you reacting again to AJ and hope to see you doing more reactions of her soon!
Glad to be back! xx
Finally the melody fits the lyrics ❤️ What a storyteller Angelina is, and since this is an Elvis cover, the hairdo is probably a tribute to Priscilla Presley, and not Amy in this performance 👍❤️ Love the Black leather and the guitar as a tribute to the King himself ❤️ And even the red suit on the piano player is a tribute aswell 👍 When that is said, this is so, so beautiful and I got goosebumps listening ❤️ Have a great evening, Anna 👍❤️
Looking forward and getting ready for two incredible "A's". Am back, won't miss this one. Just can't see the time covered by reminder-flag. Will work anyway 🤞🤞🤞💯👍
You'll love her performance Anna .............get ready to enjoy yourself !
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.
Despite some "technical problems", once again worth every minute to be connected with you, the community and to indulge in great musicianship. Stay well Anna and all friends, kiitos !!!
Hi Anna, Welcome back to another Angelina Jordan reaction. Thoroughly enjoyed again your very professional take which is very insightful to a layman like me. Thank you once again and looking forward to more of your AJ reaction.
WELCOME BACK!!
Love watching your mind work as you listen to Angelina.
Hello, Anna! Thanks for a great reaction to Angelina 🙂 And thanks a lot for speaking both in English and Finnish. Even though Finland and Norway are neighbouring countries, I would be totally lost without the English 🙂 I understand exactly the same amount of Finnish as I do for example Egyptian or Tamil. Or Russian for that matter. Enough of that already😉
I hope I can lure you into another Angelina reaction soon, before she takes the world by storm. I saw her in concert here in Norway on July 10th, and words just can't describe how great it was. Even though I have been following her closely since she was 7 years old, nothing in the world could have prepared me for what I had in store that night. 18 songs (85 minutes) of pure perfection and bliss. As it happens, a Swedish fan by the name Mattias Axelsson was there and recorded the whole performance. His videos are the best overall quality recordings out there, with 4K UHD video and very good sound. I will give you links to the complete set, in chronological order. She started the whole concert off by something that caught the whole crowd by surprise, performing her version of "Mount Everest" by Labrinth. A new genre and vocal style. She has previously covered songs spanning 8 genres, so she can do it all. Here is the list :

Much love from Norway♥♥♥♥♥ I have subscribed 😉
Nice reaction and analysis, Anna. I couldn't see or hear anything about her tongue blocking her sound ("NG") at 11:00. Everything there seemed normal (Angelina normal) and very intentional to me.
Thank you. Another great commentary from you on the barefoot princess! Angelina's starting phrase was as powerful as it was unexpected. And throughout, her attention to detail both vocally and visually as well is something of a trademark for her. The outfit and guitar give a nod to Elvis' 1968 comeback tour where he introduced this song. The progression of girls (first her two cousins, then her sister) hasn't been explained as far as I know. Also, the unfurling of the furniture at the beginning is unknown symbolism.
BTW, Angelina performed 3 summer Concerts in Norway in July. Too bad you couldn't bop over there and see her.
Anna, this performance is very different from AJ's other covers (with the exception of "Bohemian Rhapsody") because it's such a departure from the original. It's going to be very, very interesting to hear your take on her rendition of this classic song.
cland What about Billie Jean, Wicked Game, A Natural Woman?
@@103mrg Yes, the renditions you mention are different from the originals because AJ slows the tempo and jazzes those songs up. (Anna, if you're reading this, you really need to check out AJ's cover of Wicked Game -- maybe compare it to Diana A's cover.) But in terms of the arrangement, here AJ BEGINS with the bridge ("Oh, let our love survive") before she starts the first verse -- really different, like Bohemian (where she begins and ends with the ballad). So my point is that she essentially re-configures Suspicious Minds using major elements from the original, and reimagines it in the ARRANGEMENT as well as the PRESENTATION.
I am aware of Seven Remakes by Angelina (here are the links):
‘Bohemian Rhapsode’ (Queen) czcams.com/video/qF0JV28vgLw/video.html
‘Suspicious Minds’ (Mark James /Elvis) czcams.com/video/RTbKhkceR00/video.html
‘I Put A Spell On You’ (Screamin’ J Hawkins) czcams.com/video/nwFloCPXzCs/video.html
‘California Dreamin’ (Mamas & Papas) czcams.com/video/EBI7Km3z7-U/video.html
‘Natural Women’ (Aretha Franklin) czcams.com/video/rt6KhBxiaDo/video.html
‘Wicked Game’ (Chris Isaak) czcams.com/video/5IAMF4FDfw4/video.html
‘Billie Jean’ (Michael Jackson) czcams.com/video/xp67k9wk2Mw/video.html
Great reaction and analysis! I love this version as well as the version by Elvis. She really knows how to find the heart of a song and uses her own arrangement to put the focus on the words and what is being said. She's a great storyteller! On a side note, please ignore the person in your Comments Section calling himself Jim Jack. He is a troll that goes from one Angelina reactor to another, leaving negative comments, criticisms, lies, and says she is a mediocre singer and other singers are better than her. We fans, The Angels, know about this person and are not sure why he has so much hate for her. My guess is that his favorite artist is not receiving the same type of attention Angelina is. Thank you for your continuing support of Angelina and we look forward with more reactions of her!
What a glorious production, praise to everyone involved, so perfect for Angelina Jordan she rules the universe with her talent. Again, the great talent of Rob Christie playing the piano. The Cinemaphotography, a total MASTERPIECE, Excellent ART Cole McCarthy! Great touch, the cousins and sister get a cameo. Mery, you should be so proud, AJ's grandma produced this. (This red guitar is identical to the one Elvis played in his 1968 concert on TV.) Oh, the tears, and loss of breath, she is like no other in the universe. Here is a classic example of what this ethereal talent, Angelina Jordan, can achieve she takes a mundane song and turns it in to phenomenal classic. Angelina at 16 is the MASTER of her universe, she is top priority for both Stargate, and AJ's voice has been unique since she was 7 years old and now at 16, she controls us as an audience, leaving us hang on every word and phrase. She has written a number of songs.
🎉🎉🎉WELCOME BACK 🎉🎉🎉
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy to hear your reaction on this one as it's 2nd one closest to being the most recent.... Excellence is in the details, Angelina ensures all the ones that she'll need is addressed, then stands back and utilizes all the appropriate vocal ornaments to enchant us with her voice.... She paid tribute to the King, and can say "I Did It My Way" (giving tribute to Old Blue Eyes). She doesn't cut corners, just dives in!! There's only one Mona Lisa, and there's only ONE masterfully talented Angelina Jordan!! Oh,and only one Anna!! Luv the details you cover, and how you enjoy reacting to our Barefoot Angel 🎤🎤🎶🎹🎵
PEACE!!!
Anna, I enjoyed your reaction and analysis to this performance by Angelina Jordan.
Since becoming a Angelina angel, I have done my best to introduce Angelina to new people. On CZcams, I began by enticing reaction channels to feature Angelina with good success and thank each reaction channel as they do introduce new people to the artist they feature. About a year ago, Angelina's team told us angels they believed reactions were hurting Angelina's analytics. There is some logic that if angels are watching reaction videos then they have less time to watch the original video. We enjoy reaction videos and don't want to hurt those channels so the solution was to suggest reactors encourage viewers to watch, like, share and comment on the original video. Thankfully hundreds of reaction channels have implemented our suggestions and we encourage they do so for each artist they feature.
The Queen paid homage to the KING.
Everything about the production of this cover performance is an homage to Elvis, his wife Priscilla and Elvis’ 1968 Come Back Special. It just so happens that the executive producer is Angelina’s grandmother, Mery Zamani. The two youngest children are Angelina’s uncle Michael’s girls. The slightly older girl is Angelina’s sister, Juliette.
Hello beautiful Anna!Angelina is a wonderful artistic personality, very independent in all respects...And a very talented girl!Thank you, dear, for the excellent reaction!👏🌹🇷🇺
Anna, truly amazing, I witnessed you resonate with emotion as you listened, check it, control it and use it as a gauge ruler in analyzing Angelina's intro vocals. Wow, I thought Angelina's vocals were something, keep up the great analysis.
Welcome to World Love....... That's what Angelina does. Makes people around the world love her.
You're never late dear Anna, you're just in time 'cause the time is now! I'm happy! Thank you!
After watching this, I went and watched your over three reactions to Angelina. You have a good ear and a wonderful way of pointing out and explaining the details.
I hope you continue to react to her.
Loved your analysis Anna, so informative.
Thank you Lee!
She started to bridge slows it down. Makes understandable relatable to what the songs about. Did it because I didn’t know I am talking about but I heard Angelina version understood is about suspicion. No trust she made me understand the word. Thank you so much Angelina.
From the first time I listened to Angelina continuing to this moment, what grabbed my attention was the emotional reaction I was having. It hasn't ended. Perhaps and hopefully it never will end. Her opening phrase of Suspicous Minds was loving anguish to my emotional sensors. I believe that however she acquired such perception and ability to translate and communicate emotion to sound, that ability controls the sound that emits from her. It comes straight from her heart and soul through her vocal cords.
If you look at Priscilla Presley in her earlier years, you'll see a similar look and hairdo to AJ's look in this video.
Thank you Anna for this interesting reaction, as always with you. I'm Always amazed by this young talented lady and especialy in this rendition of "Suspicious minds". She has something special and very different than many other singers. It is for me difficult to put words on it. Hope to see you analyzed Angelina's performance very soon. Greetings from France 🇲🇫🖐️, Gilles
Hey Anna, great to see you back in circulation!
Angelina is coming along very well, her voice is maturing very nicely! This is one of my favourites of her recent works although I didn’t like EP very much; her interpretation to me is much more sympathetic with the theme!
You're one of my top reactors Anna :) Always a pleasure to watch some AJ with you!
Beautiful tribute to the “King.” She is a genius.
Anna great To see you back
Hi from USA
In the Studio and on the stage, Angelina has been called "The Boss" for a decade or more. She has a vision and directs everything to that goal. I'm pretty sure a 16 year old Angelina said
"It's my video, and I have decided my cousins and my sister will be in it!"
No,... didn't really have anything to do with the song.
I love your attention to detail on Angelina voice. You are the best. You are dope
That opening 'Oh' was filled wit so much of a black jazz singer's vocals.
The little baby and very young girl are Angelina's cousins and the pre-teen girl is Angelina's sister Juliette. I think they are being used as symbols of Angelina growing up.
Just like she did with Queen’s song, “Bohemian Rhapsody”, Angelina created a completely new and different arrangement.
Song writer, Mark James wrote “Suspicious Minds” and after not having personal success with it he allowed Elvis to perform it. After hearing Elvis’ uptempo and pop style arrangement, Mark was not a fan of it because he felt Elvis’ version didn’t do justice to his lyrics. I am sure that Angelina’s sensitivity to the lyrics and her sublime vocal arrangement, in conjunction with pianist, Rob Christie’s music arrangement. Mark James would have been quite pleased to her their performance of his song.
'would have been ...' he's still alive as of September 2022 ... and it would be interesting to hear his reaction, don't you agree? 😊 R (Australia)
@@branscombeR Glad to hear that he’s still alive. I simply assumed that he had passed after all of these years. I would love to hear him give his reaction.
Thank you for returning to Angelina. Your reactions to her performnances are always worth watchng.
I am certain you know that the song was written by Mark James, an American singer/songwriter, who recorded it the year it was written. The best known version, however, was that done by Elvis Presley. It was his last No 1 song. In the Wikipedia entry of the origins of the song, Mark James is said to have remarked "That late one night, he was fooling around on his Fender guitar and using his Hammond organ pedals for a bass line and came up with what he thought was a catchy melody. At the time, he was married to his first wife but still had feelings for his childhood sweetheart, who was married back in Houston. James's wife had suspicions about his feelings. He felt it was a confusing time for him and that all three were "caught in this trap that they could not walk out of."
Other singers covering this song invariably base their performance on that of Elvis, in that it is very "upbeat". Angelina took a very different path in that she read and understood the lyrics and what Mark James intended when writing them . To my mind, her rendition is much truer to the emotions of the song.
The children appearing in the video were Angelina's cousins Aurora (first) and then Athena - daughters of her uncle Michael Astar, and then her sister Juliette. I would hazard a guess that they were included to emphasise that children are very important to Angelina and her family.
Confession! I have never been a great fan of Elvis Presley, although I do like some of his earlier recordings, and I had never heard of the song "Suspicious minds" but knew that Angelina would completely take ownership of it, and she did. It was beautiful. After listening to it several times, I decided to download the lyrics to see whether she kept to the original structure. She didn't, and the song is all the better for it. For me, that she started with the Bridge of the song is very significant and, I feel, very indicative of Angelina's "up front" transparency. She was declaring that it was important that their love did not die, and then carries on to say why she feels as she does. Others first say how they feel and then, almost as an afterthought, assure their love they don't want it to end. For me, it is whether I feel the singer is genuine about the situation and wishes it could be resolved or whether the singer understands the situation but thinks the blame is on her/his partner but feels the need to assure them they don't want it to end (until somebody else comes along).
Nice informative reaction - thank you!👏
Angelina is just 🔥❤️!
Elvis Presley and his producer Felton Jarvis 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 arrangement completely and pushed the song with more speed and additional instruments (wind instruments, violin etc.) and a spectacular backing choir (in the studio version) and of course with Elvis Presley's voice. Pianist Rob Christie changed the musical arrangement and Angelina the vocal arrangement, but she didn't change the lyrics. Angelina changes the lyric structure, starting with the bridge and giving the song a different meaning. Once again many people don't hear and understand the song until when Angelina tells the story. 💯 *AJ* 💯
Excellent reaction and breakdown to The Master of Music, God Bless!
I have seen many video covers she has done since a young age and this young lady is gifted and Bless with the talent she has. She does it with a passion, joy and humbleness which just make her beautiful inside out. She bring in these songs with such a style from the original setting and truly makes it her own. Thankful for her talent and blessings with such a humble heart and attitude.
Fantastic reaction Anna - always great watch your give your great insight and opinions...
Ahhh..... a smooth wine of a voice that just is awsome. So glad you did this reaction Anna. She gave us a little taste of her immensely talented voice. . . I WANTED MORE!. . . She and Diana are my favorites. Love your take on her soulful gifts. So chill. . . You look fab as well. ✌👍🙏🇺🇸🇩🇰🏴☠️
Wonderful reaction, Anna, love your comments and expert analysis. We all hope Angelina will visit our country one day, ie soon!
Excellent review Anna. Nothing like this incredible young talent that is overtaking the world at her own pace.
As for you, I must admit when you bring in your own interpretations with your own voice, it’s extremely impressive. You have a beautiful voice. ❤️
Thank you Brian! ❤️🎶🙏
this video has almost 2 MILLION views.
Thank you for that nice analysis. I am a big fan of Angelina’s. I’m sure you are too. Have a good day from USA. Good things come your way.
Great reaction Anna! Her hair style have more to do with Priscilla, I believe, than Amy on this one. Not a song that I particularly like but her version is so different. You use the right expression when you said that "she milked it". I always found that this is one of her strength. She seems to have though carefully of absolutely every little detail as if she wants to deliver every note and every line to make them shine. She always bring something new making it her own while respecting the original. The listener is not lost and can enjoys the new version. She has amazing interpretation skills while rarely overdoing it. AJ can blow but she does it scarcely and purposely.
Anna, "Hello, and so glad to see you react to Angelina again." Your reaction was one of the finest I have heard, I enjoyed it very much.
Love your reaction and analysis Anna!
As well you should enjoy this performance a lot because there is no one else on earth to compare her to.
Perfect vocal breakdown, so insightful, and all-around professional, please pardon me, but you are fabulous!
❤️
Her grandmother made the video, so she never misses a chance to put all her grandchildren in, that’s Angelina’s sister and two cousins, her grandmother is very proud and was the major influence in Angelina, especially with jazz, since she played it often around the house when Angelina was very young.
I think you have an amazing ear and I feel blessed to benefit from the subtleties you point out. Plus I love to hear your native tongue. Love Finland. Hope to be there again some day soon.
If you are capable of making a Finn satisfied with something, you definitely know that you have done everything right.
Rob Christie Playing Piano:
That dude playing the piano is Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California, and he has been working with AJ since she signed with the largest record company in the world at the age of 14, two years ago. Rob was the MC of AJ Christmas Show that aired Dec 23, of 21. AJ’s Christmas Show that live-streamed on Dec 23 of 21 had some of the most important musicians of our time: Frank Sinatra's drummer for 6 years, and sun in-law of the late Henry Mancini, Greg Field has won 9 Grammys, and the bass player, Chuck Berghofer who also played for Sinatra for 6 years, and toured with Barbara Streisand, accompanied AJ on her Christmas Show, and they stated that she had the "storytelling ability of the greats, Streisand, Fitzgerald, Vaughan, including Sinatra, to name a few. The main pianist, a five-time nominated for Grammys, Shelly Berg, stated in all his years working with the greatest vocalist, he had never encountered a talent like AJ. Did I forget to mention Jimmy Z, the famous Sax Player who worked with Rod Steward, Etta James, the Eurythmics, and Doctor Dre, was part of the band for the show? Jimmy stated that AJ was the best he has ever played for. Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California played the guitar, and was the MC of the show. (I can't list the complete backgrounds on all the band members because it would take several pages to do them justice.) Angelina stated that she would rather perform than take a breath, and she has never been forced to perform, it has been her decision.
I have miss you nice to see you back.
Wonderful cover and reaction. I love her smokey voice and her hair for the video was really nice! Love Elvis so this was cool!
Hei Anna. Olen niin iloinen nähdessäni, että valitsit tämän Angelina Jordanin uusimman cover-version. On todella hienoa kuulla suosikkilauluvalmentajani reagoivan tähän Elvis Presleyn hittikappaleen upeaan esitykseen ja sovitukseen. 😍
No moi Anna. Always love your analyses of Angelina's singing. You are so aware of the techniques she is using to hypnotize me, though I'm not entirely sure i appreciate your saving me from drowning in an endless dream of her voice. At any rate i thank you profoundly for continuing to try. Moi moi. 🥰🥰🥰🤗🤗 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇫🇮🇫🇮
love angelina and love your reactions! more por favor
At beginning you see this young, little girl, hear some gentle piano notes and then... BOOM! that opening 😍
Kiitos Anna tästäkin reaktiosta :)
Anna always like your analysis. A deep dive in. You’re very good at what you do. I appreciate you the reason. I have a great day Anna USA good thing coming your way. See you next time
This was an amazing reaction and explanation of Angelina's vocal style . Bravo !
Loved your reaction to this beautiful cover by Angelina. Big Elvis fan and now a big Angelina fan. I love how much respect Angelina is paying to Elvis and Family. 😊🌏
Thank you
You will notice that the name on the second mirror is Mery Zamani, that is Angelinas Grandmother, the children are Mery's Grandchildren, the last is Anglina's Sister.
Have you heard her sing My Funny Valentine yet.
Anna great job with your reaction and analysis of Angelina Jordan cover of Suspicious Minds From Elvis Presley. It's one of my favorite songs from The King.
Angelina doesn't cover songs - she uncovers them, delivering their essence to heart. Wonderful!
Enjoyed your, thanks
Great reaction and analysis new subscriber for Angelina
AJ adapts the performance to pay homage but then makes it her own and so much better than the original.
Diese Frisur hatte Prysilla Presley in den 60er jahren schon getragen.Man nannte es der Bienenstock. Und ich glaube nicht das Amy Winehouse in dem Alter schon so gut singen konnte.
Außerdem ist das Video ein Homage an Elvis.
This barefoot wonder keeps amazing. Video was perfect, loved the child growing and fantastic location. Sound quality was top notch. If there is one thing I'm not a fan of, it would be the hair bun!!!

Genius: Exceptional intellectual or creative power, the greatest musical genius of our time is Angelina Jordan. Can one be hypnotized by sound? Shamans use rhythmic drumming and chanting to achieve control over a mind. Angelina's is unique in that she has the ability to create audios that trigger your brains "frequency following response". She has the ability to create a euphoric addiction to her total being similar to drugs, but without the side effects, she is in fact, like nothing I have ever experienced in the past, or more than likely to in the future.
SHE IS ONE OF THOSE WITH GOD-GIVEN TALLENT

I always love your perspective on anything you are seeing. You see so much and share it all n which is fabulous. it's great to hear an opinion so based on knowledge of the voice.
About the kids .. I personally don't think they're younger versions of her .. I believe they're supposed to represent Lisa Marie Presley growing up .. since she's saying "we're caught in a trap .. i can't get out .. because i love you to much baby." Angelina is such a good storyteller that she would never be telling a story about a relationship that is falling apart because of suspicion and suddenly add a little scene about her growing up in Norway. 🙃 I have been surprised how many people say they think it's her growing up.
But the story is still about Priscilla and Elvis and she is pointing to the effect that their child has on the thoughts she perhaps sometimes has to just walk away ... which she actually did a few years later when Lisa Marie was older. (The younger two in the video are Angelina's cousins and the third is her younger sister, Juliette.)
Thank you for your reaction. She did indeed make it her own. In a way it feels to me that Elvis told the perspective of the male and she now told the perspective of the same story more from the perspective of the woman. Pensive, pained, hopeful, hopeless - etc.
I love it and your reaction. Thanks again.
She has a wonderful voice and really gave this her own twist. That’s admirable. However, I don’t think anyone can beat Elvis on this one, so I see it as a very nice and well done tribute to this classic.
Your insights into her techniques were once again very interesting. You always manage to point out nuances in voices and performances that I would have otherwise missed. That’s very much appreciated! 💜
I agree, Elvis was a little more upbeat. 👋😏
To start, you are a super well-informed and well-spoken reactor. Probably one of the best! Secondly, in the way of suggesting something I haven't seen in your current catalog, I think, is the artist LP (Laura Pergolizzi). She has been around for a while as a songwriter for some serious pop stars as well as a singer since the early 2000s. would love to see your take on this incredibly unique vocalist. Her song "Lost on You" (Live session) is what I would suggest as an Introductory track and my personal favorite "when Were High" would be another. Keep up the great work!
She is AWESOME.... saw you have seen "I PUT A SPELL ON YOU" too. So you don't wanna miss TOO MUCH HEAVEN, from BEE GEES pure talent, no programs, no autotune just 3 unbelievables brothers.
Hi Anna , i just love the first words in this . Its such a strong and mature sound . Angelinas voice is developing so nice and i think we will have allot to look forward to in the comming years.
Talking about voices i want to say your voice is also nice to listen to Anna . Its nice to hear you speak your native language and also your perfect english. We dont hear enough from Finland here in Norway so pleace keep up your good work and also reminding us that there is a great neibour east of us.
The way you say hello and goodbye is just so charming in your language ha ha . Take care.
Great reaction, I learned a great deal from you
Yes, Anna, the two little cousins and her sister represent both her physical and artistic growth, especially with the next image being Angelina now at 16 years old. I love how Angelina has pared back the party vibe from this song, started with the bridge, and lays open the story meaning and truth. I love your detailed comments about how she achieves this powerful performance of Suspicious Minds. Mistrust and lying. The two relationship killers. I like her diction, too. I can always hear all of the words. Your English is wonderful, and I love listening to Finnish. I can even understand a bit of what you mean with your signs while speaking Finnish. Thank you for your time and effort for this reaction. 💜
