Rhianna may be a billionaire, and deservedly so, but her rendition of 'Stay' was set-up for release to the public after numerous takes that included the most state of the art recording equipment available, as well as a host of gifted musicians backing her up. Angelina, on the other hand, decides to invite her guitar playing friend Ivan to her home for an impromptu 'jam session'. Since both are not totally experienced in doing the song, Ivan just tries his best to follow her lead as she reads the lyrics off of a tablet at her side, arranging it as she is about to sing each line. With all this being said, she brings forth a rendition that I find more penetrating than Rhianna's. To encapsulate. Rhianna is a billionaire with record sales that exceed 100 million albums and Angelina can only be described as a 'one in a billion' talent for sure.
The guitarist, Ivan Mendez, said that Angelina's singing at the end of this song is the most amazing thing he's ever heard. I think you can tell that by his expression in the video.
Analogy: I decided to go fishing in the deep blue sea. Wasn't looking to catch a particular fish. I just wanted to enjoy the day and be surprised if I caught anything at all. My line had sunk into very deep water and I wanted to bring it up and see if I caught something or would catch something on the way up. As I started to reel in the line it suddenly yanked and I got all excited! I quickly positioned myself in my chair and strapped myself in. If it was a fish it wasn't fighting to get away but I knew I had hooked on to "something". Finally, the line reached the surface and I would have my first look at "what I caught!" Lo and behold, it wasn't a fish but some sort of a box, a box made out of metal. Perhaps my line had reached down to a ship wreck from many years ago. I was able to scoop it up onto the deck and then sat there for a few moments staring at it. It was about 12" by 4" by 6" and was coated with something from the ocean which seemed to preserve whatever might be inside. By now it was midday and I let the sun slowly warm the metal box. Would I try to open now or take it ashore and do it later? Are you kidding? I had to do it right there and then! It took a little doing but I was able to loose up the lid using my screwdriver. I lifted it an inch or two and I knew I would be able to open it all the way. My imagination was now running wild! Was this something from a treasure ship wrecked and lost at sea many years ago? Maybe there's important papers in the box. Maybe some currency of some kind. I open it all the way and it was obvious the tightly sealed box had preserved whatever was inside. There was a felt pouch inside. "Oh, my! What do I have here?" I fondled it very carefully and then loosened up the tie to see what was inside. OMG! It was jewelry! All different colors gleaming back at me! And, there was one jewel which stood out and was, without question, the prize of this collection. I just kept staring at it. I had no thoughts of what it was, or, what was it's value. All I know it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen in my life. Thank you, Angelina, for coming into my life and bringing me love like I have never felt before. You are a jewel of the universe and my greatest wish, my greatest hope is that everyone in the world discovers you and listens to you sing for them. I know one of your desires in life is to do what you can to make the world a better place to live and I truly believe that can happen as you spread your love into every corner of the Earth and touch the souls of people and warm their hearts. Magic? No. Whatever you do to us and for us is reality and we love you Angelina. You will always be in our hearts. May all your dreams come true. We will always be with you and never far away. God Bless....
Have watched this video with Angelina so many times I've lost count and I never tire of this masterpiece. Since bohemian rahpsody's performance on america's got talent 2020, i have to listen to her every day. She is absolutely amazing.
Agree that the ending of this song is so moving. Angelina elongates the ending notes of each phrase with those little runs. Another masterpiece, no disrespect to Rihanna, who I adore, but Angelina made it even better, imo.
Angelina has so many songs that I can listen to every day of my life. This is definitely one of them. She delivers the message of the lyrics so easily and openly. Somehow Angelina has known all her life that the essence of singing is interpreting lyrics simply, genuinely, personally. And added to that talent is her mesmerizing voice. Now that you’ve seen the magic of Angelina and Ivan together, get prepared to be amazed again in their video of California Dreamin. This cover reminds me of Bohemian Rhapsody because Angelina takes another iconic song that nobody touches and she strips it down so you understand every word of the lyrics. It’s definitely not the unique 60’s harmonies of the Mamas and the Papas, but one of her most beautiful covers, making you feel the haunting, melancholy message in a way no one else could do. Like Bohemian Rhapsody, Michelle Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas gave her enthusiastic approval for the way Angelina gave us a new way to love this song. czcams.com/video/EBI7Km3z7-U/video.html
Amazing what pure talent, reading lyrics WHILE doing her take on the fly... A 🎤 and guitar....CAPTIVATING, EXQUISITE and REAL..Raw first time...SOOOO proud she doesn't need: bubble baths, sexualized videos... Just that voice,. THAT voice.. that talent.. THAT ONE OF A KIND T-A-L-E-N-T.... excuse me while I just drop my mic.. this Angel is out of this world... Oh, and you just keep replaying your fav parts... Said it before: We are down with it!!! Luv your reactions!! PEACE!!
Can you imagine sitting next to the genius of Angelina and hearing those hypnotic, heavenly sounds coming out of this lovely child. No one on earth has this ability, she is in a lane of her own.
Great reaction to an astonishingly beautiful rendition by Angelina: in an interview with Alan Papier, Ivan said her final "Stays" were the most beautiful thing he has ever heard...
I am bound to STAY, - with Angelina`s channels, - AND with your always wonderful reactions to her music. Thank You so much😊 This song always go straight to the top among my favorits, everytime I listen to it. It amazes me to tears of joy every single time. But then there are a "few" others as well, that does exactly the same to me. I have never been able to choose the ONE song from Angelina. So my solution has to be to put Angelina as my number one - periode 👣 I can live very well with that, and she do provide both joy and beauty by her music, to my everyday life. Whenever YOU release your reactions to her, you certainly adds a great heavy PLUSS to all that as well. So thank you for letting us all in on your Angeina journey 😍
I think I told you these sessions with Ivan were largely unrehearsed. Stripped down, slowed down and full of soul and melancholy. So very beautiful!. Ivan is indeed totally caught by het singing being so close to the epicenter :-) With Rihanna it is a song if hope: you sort of know that the other is going to stay. With Angelina the story changes: because if her timbre you know there is no hope: she is asking but the other is leaving. She is keeping it very subdued fitting the sadness of the story she is telling.
I look forward to Sundays, getting to see your smile that appears in anticipation of hearing Angelina. (I have heard her so often and exclusively that I have nearly forgotten that everyone does not emote like this.) Thanks for another weekly visit.
Douglas! ❤️ Your comment has made my day so thank you very much! 🥹 I’m so glad you look forward to my reactions that means so much to me! I’m also very glad to have discovered the Angelina train! ❤️👏🏾 I hope you have THE BEST Sunday x
Ivan, the guitarist, says they do these in 1 or 2 takes. So the look of awe is his first time hearing her sing it. Nobody can emit the emotion and soul of a song like Angelina. I think she reads the lyrics first before listening to the song. In this way she can understand the feeling and emotion the artist wants to convey. Then she arranges it to be able to dramatically convey the feeling and emotion to us. She takes iconic songs and makes them Angelina songs. Her vocals, tones and smokiness do the rest. She is already The Greatest of All Time! Just amazing!!
Rihanna recorded this when she was 24 years old with the support of Sony and singer Mikky Ekko. Who knows how many takes, or how much post production went into the final version. This is not a criticism of Rihanna. It's just how the music business operates now. On the other hand, 12 year old Angelina Jordan invites her guitar player, Ivan Mendez, over for an impromptu session and the result is pure magic.
STAY: As usual, AJ makes it her own, and much better than the original. She is the greatest in my lifetime. Do you think that Rihanna saw this performance and that was one of the reasons Stargate Production signed Angelina Jordan? Stargate Production Co. (Beyonce, Rihanna, Sam Smith)
Everything Angelina sings is done with tremendous heart and soul, but this is my favorite. She's begging someone to stay and how could you not after that plea.
Lovely reaction with Angelina. Really enjoy your heartfelt reactions when listening to the golden voice of an Angel. Angelina feels every note and every word when she sings and expresses all that emotion with her hand and body movements...she feels the song like no other. She stretches out each note into this ethereal beauty that simply mesmerizes the listeners. Cheers, stay well.
In the dead of night with a burgeoning moon, hello! Perhaps my favorite (one of) one-take spontaneous sessions from that era of her growth. I just love the delicately placed rasps, yet she can do liquid velvet. Then what she chooses to do with vowels and phrase endings. Then the vibrato...."saving/caving" Those expressive long-fingered hands of hers, too. You know this song and so your listening comes with an attentive intelligence, which is one of the many strengths of your reaction skills. You come into these reactions beautiful and leave radiant. You must be an Angel! Thank you, Ms Soul, for the lovely and uplifting reaction. Grandma Ellen, over and out. 💜
All of the abovvvveeeee!!!!!! 😍😍😍Honestly she just continues to amaze me! ❤️ Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words and thank you for constantly watching my videos! I appreciate you so much! X have a glorious day! 🥰
Happy Sunday, Adrianna. Yes, that penultimate "stay" is such a thing of beauty at 7:12! And that's saying something to pick just one spot b/c Angelina renders the whole darn song so beautifully and tenderly. No need for loud dramatic endings or belting or whatever else. Just her voice & Ivan's guitar. So so good - and the song is still so new to her that she's reading the lyrics off to her left. Glad you enjoyed it, Adrianna. Have a great week! 😇
I'm excited for you and what a reaction. Love your expressions to the sound of this beautiful voice. Angelina and her soulful sultry smoky sound, all 3 s's, can really touch ones emotions to the core always leaving you wanting more. I have nothing but love and admiration for Angelina.
The reason he looks at her like that is because many times this is the first time he is hearing her sing this song also because in most cases these are all one take songs. Many time he plays and she starts in
You did it... Knew, you would love it. This team Ivan/Angelina has been something special. The chemistry between these two is amazing. Btw, Angelina also did "It's A Man's World", live with Forsvarets Stabsmusikkorps. There are few great versions out there, but on this you can also see her. Must see...
Ivan the guitarist said in an interview that the next to last note was the most beautiful thing he ever heard 💖 I agree, and this song is maybe my favorite from Angelina. Atleast until I hear another song, then thats my favorite 😁 Loved this, thanks so much for sharing! 🌹
Right! The ending was just gorgeous! So many favourites at this point! 😂❤️ loved this cover from her though 😍 you are most welcome! Have a beautiful day x
Love, love your reactions. You have to react to Angelina's version of Love is A Game - by Adele. She recorded it on Tick Tock so it's only a couple of minutes...but those two minutes will blow you awayt... I guarantee it!
Rihanna's original was very good. Angelina's cover is filled with so much emotion its almost makes you cry. Her notes are so pure. He breath control is unparalleled. Great reaction. I was with you the whole way.
I just watched you 4 times with AJ's verison of Stay and I'm going to keep watching until I get my fix. I can't help it. I'm hypnotized and your reactions are incredible.
Angelina's way with a song is so mysterious, so profound. Her delivery of the notes is inspired, but it's her storytelling that always gets me. I felt every word she sang. Unbelievable. Your reaction and your lovely smile really brightened my day. If you like the softer side of Angelina, may I recommend her cover of I Will Always Love You? It's not a perfect performance, but I always tear up. Here's the link: czcams.com/video/eml4tIAqWUY/video.html
It's sorta cheating to say you knew she was going to do something beautiful at the end ! Cause you know she always does!! Subscribed for more Angelina !! Great reaction as always! Go Angelina

Hello again, Adrianna. You know what I'm going to say, but I'll say it anyway : Thank you very much for yet another BEAUTIFUL reaction to Angelina♥♥ When you're attached to a certain song being performed in a certain way, it can be very difficult to detach and appreciate new takes. You obviously excel at it. You pick up on the new stuff right away, the small nuances as well as the bigger ones (no such thing as a big nuance I guess, but you get my drift...lol) and you're able to appreciate it right away. That is a great ability to have, at least as a reactor. And your facial expressions and animations (I don't recall the English word for it.. manneriems ??? ) never lie😉😊 I love your reactions👍👍👍 This cover is on most of her fans' top ten list, so I'm happy that you liked it as much as you did. I'm still sick (bad flu) and a bit under the weather and had actually lost track of the days a bit as well. Your reactions to Matt Corby and Angelina reminded me that it was Sunday again. A happy Sunday at that😉 Have a great week, and I hope to see you next Sunday as well. Much love from Norway again ♥♥♥♥♥
This comment has put the biggest smile on my face so thank you!!! ❤️ I really hope that you get better soon! Please stay hydrated and take care of yourself! I’m sure you’ll be back to yourself in now time! 🥰 I hope your week will be a pleasant one! I’m sure it will! Sending good vibes your way from a chilled Sunday evening in the U.K.! 😊❤️
What a wonderful reaction to (12) Angie. Thank you SSS. Love Angie version best & her Mona Lisa smirk at the end. “Born to Die” by Lana czcams.com/video/DNU-HcLuO_I/video.html Angie’s 12 here. “A Natural Woman” Acoustic (Aretha Franklin Tribute) czcams.com/video/rt6KhBxiaDo/video.html Angie’s 12.5 yo. Angie recorded this right after Aretha's death as a tribute. It's very respectful & yet all Angelina's. “How great thou art” czcams.com/video/WLAEy1LIHrc/video.html She (12) & gets very low a C3-B2 “Lovin' You” - Proysenfestivalen 21.07.2017 Angie's (11) (here’s the Trimmed & enhanced version czcams.com/video/qvmrvEdYSOY/video.html)from “Just Want To Make Love To You” originally written by Willie Dixon 1954 & covered by Muddy Waters & a lot of other big name blues singers also. Angie changed the lyrics & made it more age appropriate & also made it really awesome a bit modern style blues with a nostalgic feel also. You’ll see she’s opening her concert with this song.
If anyone else used her breathiness and/or her elongated vibrato as much as her they would be distastefully over doing it, practically a smack in the face to music, a parody. If anyone tried to emulate her, same thing. Check out Ariana Grande on that talk show game, where they roll a song and artist to emulate. Say she rolls Xtina and 'wheels on the bus'. Absolutely nails it, the song and the Xtina like interpretation. A bit goofy but decent, if anyone rolled any song and AJ, it would be an absolute parody or they wouldn't know what to even do to make it AJ like. How she can fit so much in and make it actual beautiful art is beyond me. Still have zero understanding of why I can put up with that with her, and not only put up with it, but be seemingly forever captivated as a fanatic that can never get enough. It's something to do with real Jazz artists, but even Billie Holiday and any old Jazz doesn't fully tell me why.
That is exactly why I listen to her every day! Her ability to draw me in has never happened before with ANY other singer ever!! There is something magical about her tone and mannerisms (body language for me) ! I'm 62 and I find he to be amazing. Go Angelina !!!!
If your judging her from one song, then you not really giving her a fair chance. She's more jazz than pop. Besides, her major influence is Billie Holiday and not Eilish. There is a reason why there's such a big buzz in the music industry about her, but you'll never know unless you listen to the different songs she has done. Here, she is only 12 years old, but she is currently 16. If your opinion is the same after listening to a number of her songs, then at least you gave her a chance. That's all anyone can ask for...
@@rw716 I've tried to listen to her many times and I just don't get it, I've been following a absolutely magnificent young ARTIST from the Philippines by the name of MORISSETTE AMON LAMAR, now this girl is a genuine ARTIST of the very very highest quality, give her a song no matter what the genre and you don't want to listen to the original ever again, her own original songs that she had recently written are absolutely beastly, so much so no one would even be capable of covering them, she's a once in a lifetime ARTIST experience, if she was British or American the rest of the industry would come to a standstill, she has kept away from the big corporate music boffins for the simplest reason is that she wants to be herself and not turned into some industry puppet show, Mariah Carey's producer Rhett Lawrence had a go at trying to sign her up, but wasn't having any of it, he gave her a song to record and to say it was insult to MORISSETTES talent is a understatement, she's better than that, she's a very strong woman especially when it comes to her music, she's an absolute GEM to the industry that the whole world needs to experience, everyone that has come across her are hooked on her, she has everything that the rest of the industry simply hasn't, she doesn't take herself serious, she's a very humble girl next door type of woman who hasnt become self obsessed, doesn't do drama queen antics it's just that she lives to sing and entertain and boy does she do it, I'm one of her biggest English fans, following her for over 4 yrs now 🇬🇧🔥👌❤️.
@@steveheckle8847 Everyone has their own taste, I guess. Morissette Amon Lamar Has a really good voice which puts her in the pack of singers with really good voices. I put Daneliya Tuleshova (age 16) in the same group and I love listening to her. The only one who could give Angelina a run for her money is Soh Yang . They call her the Korean Mariah Careyfor her incredible range (Check out her cover of A Bridge Over Trouble Water - it's amazing), Angelina's voice has a depth of character that no one else has. Almost every song she sings grabs you in some way and pulls you in. But not every one can be a fan. She's had 2 Billion views on Facebook, and I think there are plenty of her 'Angels' who love her. Now, I don't suggest that you listen to her anymore. You're already determined to not like her, or at least demean her, and I'm sure there are lots of millennials who won't get it either.
Rhianna may be a billionaire, and deservedly so, but her rendition of 'Stay' was set-up
for release to the public after numerous takes that included the most state of the art
recording equipment available, as well as a host of gifted musicians backing her up.
Angelina, on the other hand, decides to invite her guitar playing friend Ivan to her home
for an impromptu 'jam session'. Since both are not totally experienced in doing the song,
Ivan just tries his best to follow her lead as she reads the lyrics off of a tablet at her side,
arranging it as she is about to sing each line. With all this being said, she brings forth a
rendition that I find more penetrating than Rhianna's. To encapsulate. Rhianna is a billionaire
with record sales that exceed 100 million albums and Angelina can only be described as a
'one in a billion' talent for sure.
Considering there are already 7 billion people in the world, I think 1 in 10 billion at a minimum.
@@dojoswitzer You'll get no argument from me on that.
The guitarist, Ivan Mendez, said that Angelina's singing at the end of this song is the most amazing thing he's ever heard. I think you can tell that by his expression in the video.
Most definitely! 😍😍😍
We are watching one of the greats-to-be here, still in her formative stage.
How I love Angelinas hand gestures when she's singing... and her vibrato is out of this world!
I always love watching her hand movements, and this cover IMO is one of the best for that.
🫶 …such expressive gestures. 💛
Same.... that's why I love to watch her on video as well as listen... she is so expressive
@@geoffreynorth9046 Absolutely!
On an interview Ivan the guitarist said that the second to last run she did (the one you liked) was the most beautiful thing he had ever heard.
I thought Rhianna's Stay was very good until I heard this by AJ 4 years ago then I really loved it

What a beautiful comment! Thank you ❤️ I hope Angelina reads this x
those fading notes with vibrato ... have no idea how she can do that, but the beauty is undeniable

Nothing more delightful than listening to Angelina singing and you reacting!

Yes, she was an instant Angel. I immediately and strongly encouraged a weekly reaction to Angelina, and she has blessed us constantly.
All of the abovvvveeeee!!!!!! 😍😍😍Honestly she just continues to amaze me! ❤️ Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words and thank you for constantly watching my videos! I appreciate you so much! X have a glorious day! 🥰
🥹❤️❤️ Thank you! I’m glad you are all enjoying x
Such a lovely comment! 👏👏😍😍
Happy Sunday, Adrianna. Yes, that penultimate "stay" is such a thing of beauty at 7:12! And that's saying something to pick just one spot b/c Angelina renders the whole darn song so beautifully and tenderly. No need for loud dramatic endings or belting or whatever else. Just her voice & Ivan's guitar. So so good - and the song is still so new to her that she's reading the lyrics off to her left. Glad you enjoyed it, Adrianna. Have a great week! 😇
I enjoyed it so much Owen!!! ❤️ Thank you for watching! Have an incredible week! 😊
@@SoulSessionSundays You're very welcome, Adrianna. Cheers. 😇
Please react to Angelinas cutest video: "Angelina sings for her little sister" at age 8.
You will find it on CZcams search!
Ivan Mendez Yes we’re guitar player he’s a prodigy but he cannot help but enjoy himself do a personal concert almost every day with Angelina
What a wonderful reaction Sara. I had the same sense of awe when I first listened to this delicately beautiful performance. ❤️
Loved your reaction as always!
❤️❤️
You also need to hear "summertime" from Norway got talent. There's no way a 7 yr old makes that sound. Have a nice day.
She hits me !!!
She hits us allllll so glad you feel it too ❤️😅
Love the way you cover this Angel ! Please react to her singing It's a Mans World , live by Boris .
This link is likely to the referenced video: czcams.com/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/video.html
I'm excited for you and what a reaction. Love your expressions to the sound of this beautiful voice. Angelina and her soulful sultry smoky sound, all 3 s's, can really touch ones emotions to the core always leaving you wanting more. I have nothing but love and admiration for Angelina.
Wow. your reactions to Angelina are so emotional. Love them.
🙏🏽🤎 They hit where it really matters 🥹
The reason he looks at her like that is because many times this is the first time he is hearing her sing this song also because in most cases these are all one take songs. Many time he plays and she starts in
You did it... Knew, you would love it. This team Ivan/Angelina has been something special. The chemistry between these two is amazing. Btw, Angelina also did "It's A Man's World", live with Forsvarets Stabsmusikkorps. There are few great versions out there, but on this you can also see her. Must see...
Here is a link I have: czcams.com/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/video.html
Your reactions to AJ are incredible. I love watching you. Thank you so much.
Your so welcome! Thank you! 🤎🙏🏽
Ivan the guitarist said in an interview that the next to last note was the most beautiful thing he ever heard 💖 I agree, and this song is maybe my favorite from Angelina. Atleast until I hear another song, then thats my favorite 😁 Loved this, thanks so much for sharing! 🌹
Right! The ending was just gorgeous! So many favourites at this point! 😂❤️ loved this cover from her though 😍 you are most welcome! Have a beautiful day x
When Angelina first sang this song a girl that looks like Rihanna without makeup reacted to Stay
Love, love your reactions. You have to react to Angelina's version of Love is A Game - by Adele. She recorded it on Tick Tock so it's only a couple of minutes...but those two minutes will blow you awayt... I guarantee it!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Rihanna's original was very good. Angelina's cover is filled with so much emotion its almost makes you cry. Her notes are so pure. He breath control is unparalleled. Great reaction. I was with you the whole way.
I just watched you 4 times with AJ's verison of Stay and I'm going to keep watching until I get my fix. I can't help it. I'm hypnotized and your reactions are incredible.
This is a huge compliment! 🤎 Enjoy!!! 😊
There’s a video with the guitar player & senior member that discusses how they both casually played together📌
Epic!
Angelina's way with a song is so mysterious, so profound. Her delivery of the notes is inspired, but it's her storytelling that always gets me. I felt every word she sang. Unbelievable. Your reaction and your lovely smile really brightened my day. If you like the softer side of Angelina, may I recommend her cover of I Will Always Love You? It's not a perfect performance, but I always tear up. Here's the link: czcams.com/video/eml4tIAqWUY/video.html
👌❤👍
It's sorta cheating to say you knew she was going to do something beautiful at the end ! Cause you know she always does!! Subscribed for more Angelina !! Great reaction as always! Go Angelina

Hello again, Adrianna. You know what I'm going to say, but I'll say it anyway : Thank you very much for yet another BEAUTIFUL reaction to Angelina♥♥
When you're attached to a certain song being performed in a certain way, it can be very difficult to detach and appreciate new takes. You obviously excel at it. You pick up on the new stuff right away, the small nuances as well as the bigger ones (no such thing as a big nuance I guess, but you get my drift...lol) and you're able to appreciate it right away. That is a great ability to have, at least as a reactor. And your facial expressions and animations (I don't recall the English word for it.. manneriems ??? ) never lie😉😊 I love your reactions👍👍👍
This cover is on most of her fans' top ten list, so I'm happy that you liked it as much as you did.
I'm still sick (bad flu) and a bit under the weather and had actually lost track of the days a bit as well. Your reactions to Matt Corby and Angelina reminded me that it was Sunday again. A happy Sunday at that😉 Have a great week, and I hope to see you next Sunday as well. Much love from Norway again ♥♥♥♥♥
This comment has put the biggest smile on my face so thank you!!! ❤️ I really hope that you get better soon! Please stay hydrated and take care of yourself! I’m sure you’ll be back to yourself in now time! 🥰 I hope your week will be a pleasant one! I’m sure it will! Sending good vibes your way from a chilled Sunday evening in the U.K.! 😊❤️
@@SoulSessionSundays 🥰
What a wonderful reaction to (12) Angie. Thank you SSS. Love Angie version best & her Mona Lisa smirk
at the end. “Born to Die” by Lana czcams.com/video/DNU-HcLuO_I/video.html Angie’s 12 here.
“A Natural Woman” Acoustic (Aretha Franklin Tribute) czcams.com/video/rt6KhBxiaDo/video.html Angie’s 12.5 yo.
Angie recorded this right after Aretha's death as a tribute. It's very respectful & yet all Angelina's.
“How great thou art” czcams.com/video/WLAEy1LIHrc/video.html She (12) & gets very low a C3-B2
“Lovin' You” - Proysenfestivalen 21.07.2017 Angie's (11) (here’s the Trimmed & enhanced version czcams.com/video/qvmrvEdYSOY/video.html)from “Just Want To Make Love To You” originally written by Willie Dixon 1954 & covered by Muddy Waters & a lot of other big name blues singers also. Angie changed the lyrics & made it more age appropriate & also made it really awesome a bit modern style blues with a nostalgic feel also. You’ll see she’s opening her concert with this song.
Is she not otherworldly ? Do million yrs ago...her Adele cover
Where is the song everyone is talking about to be released today
Please turn on the subtitles next time, thanks
I keep forgetting! Apologies! Will make note of this and try and get it sorted 👏🏾
Looks like a Soul Sessions thursday. 🤷♂️
🤣🤣🤣
Love your channel...I share your emotional reactions.❤
Do check out Suspicious Minds cover by Elvis. Her tone is truly rich and warm.
hen is her older brother
If anyone else used her breathiness and/or her elongated vibrato as much as her they would be distastefully over doing it, practically a smack in the face to music, a parody. If anyone tried to emulate her, same thing. Check out Ariana Grande on that talk show game, where they roll a song and artist to emulate. Say she rolls Xtina and 'wheels on the bus'. Absolutely nails it, the song and the Xtina like interpretation. A bit goofy but decent, if anyone rolled any song and AJ, it would be an absolute parody or they wouldn't know what to even do to make it AJ like. How she can fit so much in and make it actual beautiful art is beyond me. Still have zero understanding of why I can put up with that with her, and not only put up with it, but be seemingly forever captivated as a fanatic that can never get enough. It's something to do with real Jazz artists, but even Billie Holiday and any old Jazz doesn't fully tell me why.
That is exactly why I listen to her every day! Her ability to draw me in has never happened before with ANY other singer ever!! There is something magical about her tone and mannerisms (body language for me) ! I'm 62 and I find he to be amazing. Go Angelina !!!!
Can't stand her voice, I really don't know what all the fuss is about, poor man's Billie friggin eilish
steve Then why arey you listening? Fool.
If your judging her from one song, then you not really giving her a fair chance. She's more jazz than pop. Besides, her major influence is Billie Holiday and not Eilish. There is a reason why there's such a big buzz in the music industry about her, but you'll never know unless you listen to the different songs she has done. Here, she is only 12 years old, but she is currently 16. If your opinion is the same after listening to a number of her songs, then at least you gave her a chance. That's all anyone can ask for...
@@rw716 I've tried to listen to her many times and I just don't get it, I've been following a absolutely magnificent young ARTIST from the Philippines by the name of MORISSETTE AMON LAMAR, now this girl is a genuine ARTIST of the very very highest quality, give her a song no matter what the genre and you don't want to listen to the original ever again, her own original songs that she had recently written are absolutely beastly, so much so no one would even be capable of covering them, she's a once in a lifetime ARTIST experience, if she was British or American the rest of the industry would come to a standstill, she has kept away from the big corporate music boffins for the simplest reason is that she wants to be herself and not turned into some industry puppet show, Mariah Carey's producer Rhett Lawrence had a go at trying to sign her up, but wasn't having any of it, he gave her a song to record and to say it was insult to MORISSETTES talent is a understatement, she's better than that, she's a very strong woman especially when it comes to her music, she's an absolute GEM to the industry that the whole world needs to experience, everyone that has come across her are hooked on her, she has everything that the rest of the industry simply hasn't, she doesn't take herself serious, she's a very humble girl next door type of woman who hasnt become self obsessed, doesn't do drama queen antics it's just that she lives to sing and entertain and boy does she do it, I'm one of her biggest English fans, following her for over 4 yrs now 🇬🇧🔥👌❤️.
@@steveheckle8847 As you correctly wrote: "I just don't get it." Nuff said.
@@steveheckle8847 Everyone has their own taste, I guess. Morissette Amon Lamar Has a really good voice which puts her in the pack of singers with really good voices. I put Daneliya Tuleshova (age 16) in the same group and I love listening to her. The only one who could give Angelina a run for her money is Soh Yang . They call her the Korean Mariah Careyfor her incredible range (Check out her cover of A Bridge Over Trouble Water - it's amazing), Angelina's voice has a depth of character that no one else has. Almost every song she sings grabs you in some way and pulls you in. But not every one can be a fan. She's had 2 Billion views on Facebook, and I think there are plenty of her 'Angels' who love her. Now, I don't suggest that you listen to her anymore. You're already determined to not like her, or at least demean her, and I'm sure there are lots of millennials who won't get it either.
