    I don’t know what it is about her voice. Just about any song she sings makes me cry a good cry. Not many things in life does this to me . My heart is somehow in line with the tone of her voice. The sound of her voice is so soothing and hypnotic that my mind goes to places in my past. Some memories are sorrowful and painful and just by listening to her angelic voice some how makes everything better and replaces them with joy and happiness. Voices like this only come once in a life time. God Bless You Angelina Jordan! Thank you for precious gift you have given the world with your songs.

    Thanks! Another great reaction. I really like Adele and will continue to listen to her, but I will listen more often to Angelina. Her rich emotional voice almost compels me to listen. I am in thrall to this fantastic artist. This song makes me feel the pathos and longing as if Angelina has truly lived through it. Amazing! It's not about better. Music makes us feel something and our visceral/physiological responses inform us of the choices we will make. Who do we want to listen to? (From reading many Dimash and Diana reactions, I think they feel for these singers what I feel for Angelina). The future of music is safe and in good hands. For me, the best hands are Angelina's. We older folks are going to try to hang around as long as we can to watch Angelina become the megastar that future generations will talk about with awe and reverence (sort of like many of the artists that AJ covers). I'm looking forward to your next reaction. You get it!

    Thank you for the kindness you showed to Angelina . I have no musical talent at all but I like how you analyze her singing . I can’t hear most of those things that you pick up on . My take on Angelina is that she an empath . Meaning that she collect the emotions of peoples around her and project them back to her public . Listening to her I feel her reaching out to my heart and soul and applying a calming balm . I confess to being addicted . I can’t think of any other singers having such a powerful effect on me . I am 68 years old and hope to live long enough to see her fully blossom . Have a good day.

    It's as much beauty to just watch Angelina Jordan move, as it is beautiful to listen to her sing. If you watch her in silence without the sound of the music and her voice in this video, then you can feel the vibration, the immense music of her sensitivity on the edge of her soul in her delicate dancing gestures, her hands when they move with elegance, his so discreet smiles, his looks so deep and so humble. What freshness and what innocence! it is beautiful, noble, tall and light as to watch the flight of a bird. Even the guitarist is under the spell.
    And when you listen to her sing without looking at her, without even ever having seen her with your eyes closed, it is the same mysterious and so overwhelming magic in her voice that grabs your heart.
    So seeing and hearing these two wonderful gifts from the same person as one unique gift at the same time, much like the sparkling light of a silent star in the night, I see I have no words to describe it. immense emotion that this incredible young woman transmits.

    It is testimony to the emotive prowess of Angelina Jordan that when she sings a sentimental song about her life in the distant past, we have no choice but to believe this twelve year old girl. 😊
    This is one of the songs where she she improves on the original, and there is a mashup with her and Adele here on CZcams that illustrates that point. Also, you are spot on in your comments, although I have to disagree that this is pure perfection. I’d rather say it is pure honesty, with no post production adjustments or “fixes”. For me, that makes it even more enjoyable. As you will see in future reactions, Angelina is very brave in that way also, putting out some quite experimental performances. She is not behaving like a «star» building a career, but like a gifted artist and hard working musician growing step by step before our eyes.
    On the other hand, in band rehearsals, studio work and performances before a large audience, you’ll often see her go for pure perfection...and indeed achieve it.

    Thanks for coming back so soon with Angelina and thanks for your beautiful reaction, so enthusiastic and thorough. Every time and with every song, she changes the key to her interpretation, her voice is simply the tool she uses, surprisingly, to transmit her emotions to her listeners and, always, the slower she does it, the more it upsets us soul in natural way ❤️ ❤️
    In this song, IMO, comparing the two versions (original by Adele and the cover of Angelina), she, at 12 years old, is decidedly more emotional and profound, with tones in a wider range than that of Adele and more, she is reading while singing 😍 😍
    Angelina makes difficult things seem easy and she offers them in such a spontaneous way and without any apparent effort that she makes us taste them sweetly, just like a colorful dessert that melts in your mouth releasing sweet musical aromas, she is absolutely fascinating.

Thank you. p.s. Her cover of Amy Winehouse, whose voice she is most often compared to, "Back to Black" with Norway's National Public Radio Orchestra (KORK) is outstanding. She rewrote the lyrics, to make them age-appropriate, in the car on the way to the studio and the video was made of the first take. She is Mozart level musical prodigy.

    Thank you for another grand reaction to my favourite singer. You don't need to search a dictionary or buy a thesaurus. Initially all you need is the phrase "Because it is Angelina". Then, as you become more familiar with her that can be reduced to just the one word "Angelina" Your problem is solved. Angelina and Ivan understand just what is necessary for a performance. Nothing "fancy"; no "theatrics" Just the minimum to achieve the best.
    Others commenting have mentioned Angelina's performance of Chris Isaac's "Wicked Game" I don't know whether you are ready for that yet, on two grounds,. It means you will have to go forward about three years. It is gut wrenching and very emotional. I am not suggesting that you couldn't handle the emotions but when I first heard it, I was left feeling utter despair and a sense of abandonment.
    If you do decide to react to it. this is the best version: age 13 - "Wicked Game" - czcams.com/video/5IAMF4FDfw4/video.html

She displays her amazing versatility singing Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Adele, Rihanna, Billie Holiday, Amy Winehouse, Elvis and it also includes two of her own originals "What is Life" and "Shield". If you react to other performances she's done of these songs, then you'll notice how she changes them up either to fit her mood at the time or because she's always experimenting. czcams.com/play/PLbc1I8fGx6k3fTXq3BQHyriCW8E21PguV.html

Another great cover is Young and Beautiful by Lana Del Ray. California Dreaming, The Mama's and the Papa's cover. Three of my absolute favorites💜 Happy travels on your Angelina journey. She's worth every step of the way!

    There is always the temptation to compare this to Adele, but I'm not sure if it should be compared. I have heard this one many, many (so many) times, and I just don't think there is any way for any other artist (adele or not) to top what was done here by a 12 year old (just sitting in her in her home with her friend). Adele is Adele, and she deserves her place in the list of all time great singers, but Angelina is something else completely. The list that Angelina belongs on is much shorter than the list that Adele belongs on (in my opinion).
    I will be looking forward to your next Angelina reaction. I always enjoy hearing your comments on her stuff

      A n g e l i n a is not on a 'list' that I can come up with . She is unique . Am curious who else would be on such a list ? Maybe Amira Willighagen . . . for Opera , . . . . . and maybe Darci Lynne Farmer : ventriloquist / singer ( Amazing Entertainer ! ) . . . . but different genres ? ?
      On a reaction video I saw recently the boy told his Dad ( to the effect ) 'She reaches inside and plucks your heartstrings' . Neither Amira nor Darci can do that for me , but A n g e l i n a . . . . . . . . . . . . . . yes .

( a few years ? ) AND another honorable mention would have to be the Georgia Satellites ! ! ! YES , as politically incorrect as possible performing on the back of a flatbed truck exceeding the posted speed limit while no seat-belts , air bags , etc. ! & much more ! ! Watch !

      One of the great benefits of these videos, is that they are so stripped down that your attention is focused entirely on Angelina's soul-wrenchingly incredible voice and her skill at using it. Like all jazz greats, she treats her voice like an instrument to be explored and exploited. Lot's of people can sing - not many can sing like that.

    Hi! I’m back again, I know, so soon but there are 3 additional suggestions: These are totally different styles and sounds from what Angelina has in her 103..give or take..to date, music. One that I know of is recorded when she was 11 years old, La Boheme, another is an original written by Angelina Jordan, Oslo and then ....I believe Speak Softly Love. from The Godfather. All 3 were performed similarly and at least 2 if not 3 were live at an outdoor venue in Norway with the royal orchestra that she performs with regularly. They are really interesting and beautiful to listen to. She has several recordings out from each and “Oslo” has one recording where she is in the outdoor venue again and when the is introduced, she comes out to the mic and starts singing immediately catching the orchestra off guard as they look at each other and start scrambling thru the music. Really different for Angelina. She is usually so exacting in all of her performances. A rare moment and quite comical I might add. Just another glimpse of another dimension of Angelina.

    Thank you Adam for another satisfying and enjoyable reaction to Angelina and her wonderful accompaniest Ivan Mendez.
    I respect and admire all singers. I think of the human voice as the greatest musical instrument God has bestowed upon his greatest creation, the human race. There have been and certainly still are singers that have brought great joy to my soul and leave me so grateful and in awe of their talents. I first heard Angelina over 2 years ago. I have not gone a single day since without being enraptured by her angelic voice and her purity of heart.
    Angelina has profoundly and permanently changed me in ways I simply cannot articulate. Listening to her has in no way diminished my joy and delight in any other artist. If anything she has increased those feelings. I now listen to all music with greater awe and respect. Comparing Angelina and Ivan to other performers is useless.
    Maybe it’s like seeing colors for the first time. One artist’s canvas may affect me more deeply than another’s but my knowledge of color has made the whole world more profoundly beautiful.
    This is the effect Angelina and her music have had on me. Making subjective comparisons within the realm of human creativity is to me as pointless as comparing the beauty of the butterfly to the beauty of the flower upon which it alights.

    To quote another UK reactor, Gitana_Adelle, when Angelina sings it's like she just reaches in, plucks out a piece of her soul and chucks it at you. "...she draws you in..." - perfect description of the effect that she has on people with her music. There is something intangible about the way she uses her tone, breath, timing, fry, rasp, cry, and other aspects of her vocalization to subtly convey a deeper meaning to what she sings, more effectively than most singers who just "perform" the song. You can never get enough Angelina and fortunately for you, there are 120+ more to go.

    Thank you for anther phenomenol reaction so soon! I totally agree with everything that you have just said. This has been my of my favorites but with Angelina you end up with multiple favorites...it is hard to stay in the single digits partly because she is so diverse and she does everything in such a special way. You are beginning to see just a tiny glimpse of what I am talking about. So far, 4 songs, 4 different types of music, 4 different presentations and aspects of her voice that introduce the different sounds she brings based on her interpretations....There are many more to discover.
    As far as the AGT songs go, they are phenomenol. Her performances, again, were geared her that environment. AGT has a certain type of audience and almost formula that a lot of singers follow..... While so many people are highly recommending those performances I don’t think that they are her”absolute” “best” overall work. She just has so many brilliant pieces that she has done to say the AGT performances are the top of everything is a personal preference. I absolutely love love love Queen and Freddy Mercury. I love what Angelina did with it and her version of YBR was beautiful (better than the original imho) but for me personally to say that it was “the “highlight” or “best” of all her music I cannot do. There are actually too many of her songs that I love so much that I cannot really come up with a top 10 much less just 1 or 2 songs. It just depends on my mood because Angelina covers every mood..pretty much.
    I listed the songs that I think are pretty diverse and are really on my “list” of Angelina’’s best. One song that I listed, I think is really impressive but to some maybe not earth shattering is “Something’s Got A Hold on Me” by Etta James. It is just so lively and fun but it isn’t the type of song that she usually does, so it’s a treat to watch.
    Thank you for your wonder reactions. They are awesome to watch and hear all that you have to say about Angelina. It is hard to believe that in most of those songs she is between 11-13. I feel lucky to be part of her journey and now you can be too.

    Thanks for the great reaction, Adam! Your description of her vibrato as a "flutter" seems like a perfect description of how she has chosen to embrace the use of that tool, as she has matured from a younger child. It seems to have moved from a dominant factor, to a "flavor", which does not necessarily show up at the end of every line.

    Perhaps go back a little further, to her performances on Norway's Got Talent. I think you will be stunned by her stellar performances that propelled her onto the world stage. At the age of 7. Her stage presence is incredible...I particularly like 'Bang Bang' from that selection of performances.

    What Angelina does for me is deliver the message in the lyrics. Her interpretation of lyrics gives them meaning and relevance, and her emotional openness and sincerity (as in this song) is just staggering. Angelina doesn’t throw away any words or phrases. Songwriters are lucky if she chooses their work because she brings those lyrics to life.
    I know you haven’t seen her Yellow Brick Road yet. It’s a song I remember well from the 70’s, but didn’t go out of my way to listen to. I never actually considered what the lyrics meant. Elton John was pleasant pop music for me. The first time I heard Angelina sing this, I understood what the song was all about. I’ll never hear it now without remembering it’s actual relevance to her performance. And I’d guess I’ve listened to her sing it probably a hundred times in the past six months.
