wait.. honestly the concept for this song would make an amazing musical!! a girl tries to make it big as a star but realizes that it’s not all it’s cracked up to be even tho she loves being in the spotlight because of the money hungry people that surround her. and she’s in a shit contract that she can’t seem to get out of. and we watch her journey as she learns how to navigate thru it all and figure out her way thru stardom. would be so good!!
I completely agree, also imagine this in bridgerton, it would eat so hard for Benedict’s season, she’s also the only solo artist from the group who thinks from an audience standpoint
This part is too beautiful, It made me cry 2:54 😢❤ Thank you Jade for This masterpiece, because now I’m in a hard part of My Life so Thank you because you make me feel happier . Ps you are the best vocalist of This generation❤❤❤
Can you IMAGINE her Brit awards performance of this.. opening with the chorus slow… then costume change… into the original song, full on dance routines, dancers, colours and strobe lights… then she finishes with this big ballad section 🥹 I can visually see this and I hope to god it happens! She is a SUPERSTAR
@@mariacarthy7948Not an underdog, she had better leverage than her other three bandmates. She will become massive in next coming years. Perrie and Leigh Anne will catch up but Jade is destined to be big.
@@AnnoyedRocket-ep6dn I really have to agree. The way her brain works in regards to music, melodies, lyrics and vocal production is incredible (justice for Wasabi). She's an incredibly talented, creative, hard working young woman and I'm absolutely here for the JADE era😁
@@mariacarthy7948underdog? Her solo career is literally doing the best out of all her bandmates with one song and she just started it a month ago lol underdog where?..😂🤦🏽♀️
WHAT A DAMN VOCAL RANGE OH GOSH THE LOWS, THA FALSETTO, THE BELTING, THE GROWL, THE AGILITY, THE SOFT TONE, THE CREATIVITY, THE INTERPRETATION, THE EMOTIONAL VOICE, PLS I NEED HELP
Being a mixer for so long, listening to this is bringing me to tears because its like watching Jade fully blossom and outstretch her wings, with her own creative direction and vision, her own creativity in full swing, with nothing holding her back 😭 just watching her SOAR in this era
Brought me to tears since I felt like her vocals weren't showcased enough in some of the songs. Not been a Mixer for a while tbh but I've always heard about their lead singles. I started watching them on X Factor. How time flies! I feel a sense of pride seeing how far she's come, I hope she's proud of herself because this is an amazing song
Jade wasn't slept on in the band, in fact shes arguable the most famous one with miminal haters (Perrie is the most famous but has lots of haters) my girl Leigh is def the underrated one. JADE has always been that girl.
She was so smart to create a slow and mellow version of the song before someone covered it first on a singing contest as weve seen many times before. She had real vision on this track and run with it her voice on this version is unbelieveable.
Watching Jade blossom as a soloist now is extra special to me because it’s proof that everything happens at the right time, for the right reason. This woman was BORN a pop star, she was a schoolgirl when she did her first of THREE (!!) X Factor Auditions, she spent years busking on the streets and performing at social clubs to tiny audiences. She got one big breakthrough in 2011 and was lucky enough to spend over 10 years as part of one of the world’s biggest and most talented girl groups, Little Mix, and even NOW she’s still achieving more and growing more in the next stage of her career. The Jade Thirlwall of 2011 probably wouldn’t be capable of doing this, but all those years spent learning how to be a big pop star as part of Little Mix and growing up in the industry has allowed her to develop such a strong sense of personal identity and artistry. She’s found a level of assuredness and belief in herself that you can only achieve in your 30s. For years, Jade would have grown up believing her age was a career death sentence for a woman in the music industry, but here she is showing that you can not only survive but thrive, and that your age and experience is a blessing as you are able to draw from that to put out your best possible output. Long may she continue to defy the expectations and pressures unfairly placed on her shoulders for being a woman in the music industry!
Beautifully said! I wanted to add that her time with Little Mix not only allowed her to develop her personal identity and artistry as you so rightly said, but it also taught her vital skills to be able to perform at this level. The choreography, her stamina, her musicality, vocal control, vocal agility and range are all things that she has been mastering over the years and it's genuinely inspiring to see her blossom into such a talented solo artist. Her vocals here are genuinely so impressive!
We have just witnessed the (re)birth of a generational superstar. JADE has an incredibly powerful and versatile voice, she’s able to emote beautifully through her singing, she’s able to craft and write her own music so everything you see on stage is coming from her heart, she’s able to pull from various different references to create a brilliantly theatrical performance, she can dance, she can just about do everything. It’s one thing having the ability to do these things, it’s another thing to put them all together and put the time and dedication in to your craft to create a piece of art that goes beyond just another song. She is a TREMENDOUS talent, a student of popular music and culture and she is going to transcend in to the upper echelons of pop stardom.
My friend I have to applaud this comment because it’s just written with such close observation to detail & essence. So I Applaud you for this 👏👏👏👏👏👏 also she is Everything I don’t care what anybody says. You can quite literally FEEL the essence of her craft and if we’re talking about energy and feeling, Jade has the most beautiful and purest energy out of all of the girls. Thats another reason as to why she makes us feel the way we do, her energy is NOT negative at ALL. JADE will RISE and we ALL believe this is our HEARTS.
I've been listening to little mix for years. I never heard jade like that. I swear if she doesn't win a few awards, there's something wrong in this world.
You don't have to win awards to be good. She and many other artists are great without winning any awards, sometimes it's wrong timing to release something when others have more relevant music out at the same time, it's luck and chance, and it shouldn't take away from her talent and artistry! Love to all
She isn’t singing live in this video, thats impossible because this can’t be filmed in one take. So she pre recorded her singing and lip synced to it in this video. Still really impressive, i feel like she didn’t use any production on her voice
@@wouterdevries3072 yes after rewatching it several times, i think she did a take of live singing specifically for this video.. and goddamn it's amazing!! love the rawness of her vocal without any editing being put into it
People who are surprised she can sing like this obviously were not paying attention to Little Mix since 2011. She was always one of the strongest voices of the group.
I think it’s more so because she didn’t sing these really big notes much at all and she really wasn’t that strong at it in the group compared to Leigh Anne and perrie. She was always doing the lower notes and her beautiful falsetto. People knew she could sing but not like this because she was in a group of four and relied on others to pick up where she wasn’t the strongest at. Now she is by herself and has improved in areas and gets to sing entire songs to herself so it sounds so fresh to the ear.
@@Jadeleighpezforeva I personally would say that Jade was always the strongest belter behind Perrie, from the beginning. She has always been a very consistent and steady singer, in all registers. When Jade comes in around 50 seconds here, the power of her voice cuts through all the others: czcams.com/video/4s2VAoR6Ruw/video.html Same thing here, around 1:00: czcams.com/video/zHHBEGIHluU/video.html And here around 0:55: czcams.com/video/F3ziMRRUpGQ/video.html
@@LittleMixLuvr Leigh Anne was always second best belter let’s not go that far. Jade I love her but even when jesy was there she was last when it came to belting if we are talking technique. She even said it herself and is aware of her limits. She doesn’t need to be a belter which is one of the reasons she is my favorite. I fell in love with her falsetto and her soft airy voice. That’s her and always will be💕
@@Jadeleighpezforeva I don't think we were watching the same group, at all. How can you say that Jade was last when it came to belting technique? Jade was strong out of the gate. I just linked three performances where her vocals are clearly second best to Perrie's. Jade was never "limited," and she continues not to be--she smashed the WLM rock version on the Confetti tour. And as for Jesy, she could belt, but usually chose not to. Take SLS: Jade does the first verse and first chorus, whereas Perrie had to take the second chorus because Jesy either couldn't, or chose not to, push herself on belted vocals. I mean no hate, but I'm just a bit confused by your take on the band.
@@LittleMixLuvr I’m not confused I’m unbiased and aware of her strengths and weaknesses. She definitely was not the second best belter that’s totally false and disrespectful to Leigh Anne who literally everyone knows is the second best belter in the group hence to why her and perrie always take the super hard belts and jade always nope not me. She said herself she is last when it comes to belts. I don’t even like jesy but jesy has better belts than jade. Jade was very chesty and tight and would get very shrill when trying to reach high belts. She is a falsetto girls and you should know that as a clear big jade fan. She was not better than jesy at belting and for sure not better than Leigh Anne are you serious? I love jade obviously too but let’s not be biased. Also you gave me videos from 2013-2012 when jade had more belts than jesy and Leigh at the time. Salute era through the end Leigh Anne has taken up more belts than jade and jesy and shared the same amount as perrie. Let’s be real ok, jade not being the best belter doesn’t mean she can’t belt.
I find myself coming back to this, it’s so captivating. The original version was theatrical and dramatic in its own way, but this version manages to not only maintain the theatrics but highlight how tragically beautiful and haunting the song’s melody actually is. It’s a testament to the songs quality when you can completely reinvent it like this and still capture the essence and pure emotion of the song without it feeling forced.
Unpopular opinion but I actually prefer this kinda acoustic and elegant style over the original 🫢 I feel like this style demonstrates more of her range and versatility
I love that she didn’t just do a video of her standing there singing, this video still has a story down to the last second when the big man is slow clapping. We are witnessing a force of pop music coming to life
GRAMMY WORTHY PERFORMANCE!! HE AGILITY IS INSANE?! ALL THESE YEARS I KNOW JADE HAD A BEAUTIFUL VOICE BUT THIS!! THIS IS A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH! MAKE WAY FOR THE NEW POP ICON!
Not live... n ur pfp n username is ridiculous n immature ..n I bet it eats u up that jesy is still the most successful n highest charting soloist from the group 😂🤣🤣
@@jadebel7006 what? Jesy had Nicki and diddy so no she technically isn’t the highest charting member jade is. I’m not giving jesy credit for what Nicki did for her when her second single didn’t even chart or get a million views. Don’t be jealous because jade is the one who had a huge debut that was hugely impactful ON HER OWN.
Wow I wasn't expecting this when she said sad version. This is totally different. It doesn't even feel like the same song. At many parts I felt like it's was evanescence.
How she managed to completely change the song while still maintaining the integrity of the lyrics I will never understand. I now love both versions of this song which is rare for me lol. Absolutely amazing!!
Unfortunately I had this mindset and tried to get my mum to listen (who is a massive Kate Bush fan) and she immediately asked me to turn it off. Hey-ho, in my mind both are great, Kate is her icon and mine is Jade so 🤷🏻♀️
@@thatgirl7551 I'm sure her parents felt the same way about Kate and had their own favs haha! Talent always shines through though and like u said, it's okay we each have our own icons
The fact that she tied in the main music video narrative to this at the end is ART. I’m so pleased her talent is finally shining in a solo light . She’s amazing .
Jade came to make her statement as a pop star singer. She can do literally everything. Amazing vocals, extremely good deliver, impecable dance. Definitely she should be everyone's new obsession
I’m so impressed with Jade. I knew she’d be the soloist who took the most risks. She doesn’t seem to care about her image (beyond the basics of just not being an asshole). She will burp in public, laugh the loudest, and she’s a creative diamond. She’s a great dancer, amazing singer, hell of an actress, and just overall, a creative artist.
Not sure what burping in public has to do with anything but I hope you’re not comparing her to the other members because Leigh Anne took the most risk musically if we’re being honest. Jade was always this way it’s nothing new. Love her though but y’all are acting like she set a trend
@@AlwaysLM2011 Yeah Leigh’s sound is the most different for sure. The original AOMD single has multiple sounds and many ppl have described it as chaotic, which is risky.
@@AlwaysLM2011 nobody is acting like she’s setting a trend. She actually is setting trends. Leigh and Jade are head and shoulders above the other two. Leigh just needed the second single to really pop off. The first wasn’t amazing. Jade blew the roof off because her solo debut is a single song that could have a million different incarnations. Jesy played it safe by cowtowing to hip hop culture and unfortunately aligning herself with Diddy (not her fault) and then Perrie did herself a disservice by not releasing Tears first. Her output has been tepid at best.
@@user-wm2hr6kq7v yeah people are acting like she is , they are saying it’s different and risky when we’ve seen this from many artists. Don’t get me wrong I love what she is doing it fits her personality. I just don’t like when people try to use her being chaotic as a way to say she is better than the others. I think the reason Leigh Anne and jade have gotten better feedback is because they are doing music that is authentic to them and not tying to do songs that is considered generic pop Taylor swift kinda vibes. Perrie is great she just hasn’t given us her authentic self yet and she needs to run not walk away from this generic pop. Why is two of her songs about a breakup? She’s engaged with a son and she’s already got her ex boyfriend song with shout to my ex. She needs to mature her sound.
@@AlwaysLM2011 agreed. I think Jade is just more bombastic than Leigh. But they both broke the ceiling in their own ways. And I’m still bopping to “Don’t Say Love”. Angel of My Dreams is just interesting melodically cause there are so many things you can do with the hook. I’m just so glad that the two ladies that (in my opinion) didn’t get their proper flowers while in the group, are shining solo.
This version is so pretty. So otherworldly. I am speechless. Literally brought me to tears. She is truly a star and icon. She already was in Little Mix but even as a solo too.
I CANNOT. She has only released one song and yet she has given us EVERYTHING. Only Jade would be creative and talented enough to be able to give us a feast from one song ♥️❤️😍🥰❤️♥️
This is 100% LIVE, I'm in production, they will film the full video with her singing live vocals, hence why she has in ear monitors in, so every single time which I would say 4-5 time they did the run through she sang live and the live audio then gets pieced together in the studio for the notes and whatever she liked more. Just like Ariana Grande's VEVO performances and her 10 year celebration of her first album, that recorded live 4-5 times then pieced together in the studio for the best performance for us to listen and watch, but just remember Jade and Ariana sang this all. So it wouldn't matter if it was lip synced one bit. It's still her new vocals. The vocals were recorded right were she performing, hence the in ears and the microphone and you can hear the bang when she slams the floor. Same with Ariana you can hear her take the microphone off the stand countless times, hence her having overears so she can hear the band and the click to stay on tempo plus her voice.
This is very true! Thank you for putting this out there for everyone so that they know what happens behind the scenes a little bit. A lot of work goes into these!!
@@Sharki_V welcome, I do this for a living, with production of video and audio. Some people are just well stupid. It's live and spliced together. I don't understand when someone goes 'this video clip sounds the same as the song on the CD or album' that because it's a music video. This is a live version with spliced vocals for the best vocals for us to listen too.
Thank you for this insight, really interesting to know theres so much that goes into these little clips we see it's insane the hours actually having been spent on them. 😊
I always thought Jade was talented, but now she's having her moment to show MORE OF IT. Like, this version shows that. I'm so happy, speechless and proud of her. I know she hid something more inside her😭😍
this song getting a more intimate version was the best idea of all, even more so with the whole context of the song and the music video, which tells what the music industry is like in front of the cameras and behind them too, and JADE as she is/was part of one of the biggest girl bands in the history of the united kingdom and the world, which by the way was the last big global female/male group of great dominance to break up, so she knows very well what she sings in each verse of this track in its entirety, i'm so happy that JADE is having her moment as a great pop artist, because we are in such a raw moment and her delivering what she is delivering is truly something of a dream.
The fact that this S.A.D. version is different from the S.A.D. version on Spotify, and that there is a separate music video for it, says a lot about how much effort she's put into AOMD. She could've easily released a few more digitally edited versions or remixes, but she chose to put out this masterpiece. The completely different vocal and musical arrangements, production, looks, set - oh she really told her record label that she's the boss here and demanded for that budget. Oh JADE, the world will have to stan you I'm afraid.🙌🤍
One thing about Jade she will ALWAYS add emotion and soul to any song she sings, this woman is one of a kind !!! I truly manifest she will be a global star
The goosebumps this is giving me is INSANE. This is so dramatic but in the right amount. She‘s only one song and her artistry is already showing. Oh Jade, the artist you are
This was so POWERFUL. Unreal. Jade is showing us the tip of the iceberg, I think. I knew she had a good voice, but I'm not sure I knew she could do THIS. I'm blown away and I don't even like slow songs much. I feel like this is only the beginning. This song is truly a masterpiece (that's overused, but I mean it in this case). Slow. ANGELIC. Dramatic.
I’m not surprised at all she gave us sneak peaks in the group through the years. It’s just now it feels different because she improved on her technique and is singing a song so deeply personal to her. She can sing her heart out and always could🙂
Yes, she always could. We just didn’t get a chance to see her full potential, and I think we will see even more. I figured Jade out of all four of the girls of Little Mix would be the most creative and the most eccentric of the group. You can see that in “wasabi“. I totally agree with you.❤
@@JiaPia3 I think Leigh Anne is just as creative but in a different way as they have different music and visions. Those two I knew would show out the most and it’s on full display now and the reactions have been amazing for them.🥰
@@JiaPia3 her, fashion, her writing, her dancing and vocals, her hair, her music being so versatile and not being one dimensional and boring. Leigh has always been the most versatile since in the group but jade is very versatile too. I hope Jade experiments with genres too.
I've always loved little mix but this woman was born to have a superstar solo career because ain't nobody else doing it like her nowadays... no words just WOW!
I'm a mixer since X Factor but somehow I always felt that Jade never got her flowers in the band. Everyone talked about Leigh Anne's evolution or Perrie's power but Jade has been a dark horse with her beltings and vocal range and this video proves it!
@@thesassynerd at the begining yes but recently I saw everyone praise her vocal evolution (she became incredible dont get me wrong) but I see Jade as a shadow of Perrie's power, don't know how to explain... she never got noticed or praised in my vision, might be wrong
@@danielalmeida5834 I get what you're saying. She was never as ignored as Leigh Anne was, to the point of people trying to correct themselves and give her more credit at some point, and she was also never the center of attention like Perrie was, because, well she looks like a Barbie and has powerful vocals (they really tried to make her "the leader" of the band, the girls rejected tho, including Perrie), so Jade was kind of a middle child. Not the least favorite, not the most seen. But she was second in favoritism for sure, even with Jesy in the group. Leigh Anne is still ignored to this day tho, she did not receive either the expectation Perrie received (but it didn't work anyway, because people were disappointed with Perrie's music) nor the same amount of support as Jade is receiving, while she obviously invested a LOT of money on promo. Jade seems to be making way better artistic choices with her music tho, my favorite right now.
@@karaflash your words explain exactly what I felt, thank you! Jade became for me the dark horse on their solo careers... i think she will be the most successful of them
@@danielalmeida5834please stop calling jade the dark horse. She literally was loved as much as perrie and called the second best vocalist. She had high expectations just like perrie for the solo stuff. Leigh Anne and only Leigh Anne was the dark horse and ignored and disrespected one. Her expectations were low but yet she is the most successful one solo and now jade has joined in that success too. No hate to you but saying jade is the dark horse and claiming Leigh Anne got praised more is super offensive to Leigh Anne because it’s far from being true. Jade is not an underdog and never has been, that has always been Leigh Anne and no matter if she is still making the best music imo and clearly to lots of people she will always be the underdog as the black member of little mix which is unfortunate.
This is not a song, this is a show… a frickin musical 😭😭😭
Angel Of My Dreams: The Musical
Exactlyyyyy 😭😭😭😭🫶🏼🖤💕
wait.. honestly the concept for this song would make an amazing musical!! a girl tries to make it big as a star but realizes that it’s not all it’s cracked up to be even tho she loves being in the spotlight because of the money hungry people that surround her. and she’s in a shit contract that she can’t seem to get out of. and we watch her journey as she learns how to navigate thru it all and figure out her way thru stardom. would be so good!!

Jade isn't just a singer, she is a very clever woman who knows how to make a real and true masterpiece
I completely agree, also imagine this in bridgerton, it would eat so hard for Benedict’s season, she’s also the only solo artist from the group who thinks from an audience standpoint
@@panicfvx I agree with you
did she write the musical notation and lyrics for this song?
@@angelicaterry3367 yes she did I believe aswell as having other people who collaborated with her to create this song and production.

You can quite literally FEEL the essence of her craft and if we’re talking about energy and feeling, Jade has the most beautiful and purest energy out of all of the girls. Thats another reason as to why she makes us feel the way we do, her energy is NOT negative at ALL. JADE will RISE and we ALL believe this is our HEARTS.

You can wetness her singing and a Angel bringing the holy winds and rain to your consurts 🌬️👑💞
I've been listening to little mix for years. I never heard jade like that. I swear if she doesn't win a few awards, there's something wrong in this world.
You don't have to win awards to be good. She and many other artists are great without winning any awards, sometimes it's wrong timing to release something when others have more relevant music out at the same time, it's luck and chance, and it shouldn't take away from her talent and artistry! Love to all
we already know the world is fucked

SHE SING IT LIVE!! it's different from the one in Spotify!! The talent!!!
She should put this version on Spotify too❤
Yes i noticed that too, brilliant idea to do..🎉🎉
She isn’t singing live in this video, thats impossible because this can’t be filmed in one take. So she pre recorded her singing and lip synced to it in this video. Still really impressive, i feel like she didn’t use any production on her voice
@@wouterdevries3072 yes after rewatching it several times, i think she did a take of live singing specifically for this video.. and goddamn it's amazing!! love the rawness of her vocal without any editing being put into it
That’s not live
People who are surprised she can sing like this obviously were not paying attention to Little Mix since 2011. She was always one of the strongest voices of the group.
I think it’s more so because she didn’t sing these really big notes much at all and she really wasn’t that strong at it in the group compared to Leigh Anne and perrie. She was always doing the lower notes and her beautiful falsetto. People knew she could sing but not like this because she was in a group of four and relied on others to pick up where she wasn’t the strongest at. Now she is by herself and has improved in areas and gets to sing entire songs to herself so it sounds so fresh to the ear.
@@Jadeleighpezforeva I personally would say that Jade was always the strongest belter behind Perrie, from the beginning. She has always been a very consistent and steady singer, in all registers. When Jade comes in around 50 seconds here, the power of her voice cuts through all the others: czcams.com/video/4s2VAoR6Ruw/video.html
Same thing here, around 1:00: czcams.com/video/zHHBEGIHluU/video.html
And here around 0:55:
czcams.com/video/F3ziMRRUpGQ/video.html
@@LittleMixLuvr Leigh Anne was always second best belter let’s not go that far. Jade I love her but even when jesy was there she was last when it came to belting if we are talking technique. She even said it herself and is aware of her limits. She doesn’t need to be a belter which is one of the reasons she is my favorite. I fell in love with her falsetto and her soft airy voice. That’s her and always will be💕
@@Jadeleighpezforeva I don't think we were watching the same group, at all. How can you say that Jade was last when it came to belting technique? Jade was strong out of the gate. I just linked three performances where her vocals are clearly second best to Perrie's. Jade was never "limited," and she continues not to be--she smashed the WLM rock version on the Confetti tour. And as for Jesy, she could belt, but usually chose not to. Take SLS: Jade does the first verse and first chorus, whereas Perrie had to take the second chorus because Jesy either couldn't, or chose not to, push herself on belted vocals. I mean no hate, but I'm just a bit confused by your take on the band.
@@LittleMixLuvr I’m not confused I’m unbiased and aware of her strengths and weaknesses. She definitely was not the second best belter that’s totally false and disrespectful to Leigh Anne who literally everyone knows is the second best belter in the group hence to why her and perrie always take the super hard belts and jade always nope not me. She said herself she is last when it comes to belts. I don’t even like jesy but jesy has better belts than jade. Jade was very chesty and tight and would get very shrill when trying to reach high belts. She is a falsetto girls and you should know that as a clear big jade fan. She was not better than jesy at belting and for sure not better than Leigh Anne are you serious? I love jade obviously too but let’s not be biased. Also you gave me videos from 2013-2012 when jade had more belts than jesy and Leigh at the time. Salute era through the end Leigh Anne has taken up more belts than jade and jesy and shared the same amount as perrie. Let’s be real ok, jade not being the best belter doesn’t mean she can’t belt.
forever obsessed with the note at 3:13
this version is so much more powerful than the original, DAMN
SIIIII
Where is Jades Oscar and BAFTA?! Because that was ART! Just when you thought the song couldn't get any better...Slow. Angelic. Dramatic!
SHE REALLY WANTS TO GIVE US SOMETHING SPECTACULAR WITH HER DEBUT, THE OG VERSION IS A HIT AND THEN SHE DID THIS? WHAT ELSE YOU COULDN’T DO JADE
the big man at the end omg she's really going with the jade cinematic universe
was fantastic i was SHOCKED
@@IrishLegend64who's the big man
@@avakinlifegames2379I believe he’s supposed to represent Simon Cowell
he's playing the piano before she hits the high notes. I think he has her veil on him. The one she through into the orchestra.
3.03 in the video.
THE VOCALS???? THE DRAMA????? AN ICONNNNNNN
I find myself coming back to this, it’s so captivating. The original version was theatrical and dramatic in its own way, but this version manages to not only maintain the theatrics but highlight how tragically beautiful and haunting the song’s melody actually is. It’s a testament to the songs quality when you can completely reinvent it like this and still capture the essence and pure emotion of the song without it feeling forced.
Unpopular opinion but I actually prefer this kinda acoustic and elegant style over the original 🫢 I feel like this style demonstrates more of her range and versatility
Me too!!! I think is a very popular opinión 😅😅😅❤️🩹❤️
Same
I think they played it safe releasing the club version but this is a million times better and a much better take for the narrative.
@jayel1471 So let's give this version the million views the club version already has
I love that she didn’t just do a video of her standing there singing, this video still has a story down to the last second when the big man is slow clapping. We are witnessing a force of pop music coming to life
GRAMMY WORTHY PERFORMANCE!! HE AGILITY IS INSANE?! ALL THESE YEARS I KNOW JADE HAD A BEAUTIFUL VOICE BUT THIS!! THIS IS A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH! MAKE WAY FOR THE NEW POP ICON!
Who prefers this version? ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
MEEEE X
Can we just take a minute to appreciate this woman’s vocal range?? SHE ATE
the way i thought this would be a video for the sad ver but it was an official LIVE performance 😭
It kind of was a video for the sad version there were a ton of different takes here
It was live tho, haven’t you read in the parentheses Live Version?
@@AlexEclaviiwasnt there before 🤷🏻♀️
Not live... n ur pfp n username is ridiculous n immature ..n I bet it eats u up that jesy is still the most successful n highest charting soloist from the group 😂🤣🤣
@@jadebel7006 what? Jesy had Nicki and diddy so no she technically isn’t the highest charting member jade is. I’m not giving jesy credit for what Nicki did for her when her second single didn’t even chart or get a million views. Don’t be jealous because jade is the one who had a huge debut that was hugely impactful ON HER OWN.
she was always the one to watch.
Jade in her Lady Gaga era, this is what I call ART. Jade you’re smashing it ❤
Wow I wasn't expecting this when she said sad version. This is totally different. It doesn't even feel like the same song. At many parts I felt like it's was evanescence.
even her outfit!!!!!!! love
I swear I was hearing that
How did we not send AOMD to number one in the UK?! One of the best singles in a long long time!
No physical copies yet :/
@@Philipp19967 but there are physical copies?
@@nahinart2262 not out yet. September 13th
@@nahinart2262 it's not being shipped yet. physical sales will only count upon dispatch.
@nahinart2262 I think I saw on her website that the physicals won't be released until September. Which is a weird choice 🤷♀️
say it with me: DEBUT OF THE YEAR ! 👼💗
Jade is a ARTIST period
How she managed to completely change the song while still maintaining the integrity of the lyrics I will never understand. I now love both versions of this song which is rare for me lol. Absolutely amazing!!
Jade, honey, you forgot to put the live version on Spotify!! This is incredible
I need this so bad
Queen Jade hear us out please 🙏
I need this more than anything
its on spotify, just change to video, you can hear it as if it were audio
she put it on spotify on friday
If Jade can keep this level of creativity going, she could go down in history as a modern day Kate Bush.
We are so lucky to have people like her still upholding a unique POV coupled with intense talent + output
Unfortunately I had this mindset and tried to get my mum to listen (who is a massive Kate Bush fan) and she immediately asked me to turn it off. Hey-ho, in my mind both are great, Kate is her icon and mine is Jade so 🤷🏻♀️
@@thatgirl7551 I'm sure her parents felt the same way about Kate and had their own favs haha! Talent always shines through though and like u said, it's okay we each have our own icons
This is Jade's Cinematic Universe and we're just living in it ❤
✨🫶
One thing about Jade is, she is going to serve every. single. time.
2:50 the moment my jaw dropped to the floor & stayed there
i am the janitor - just came to return your jaw. ♥️
I didnt know her voice was that great and powerful.
I'm completely obsessed with this version. It's so dramatic and theatrical, and Jade's vocals give me goosebumps as always.
The fact that she tied in the main music video narrative to this at the end is ART. I’m so pleased her talent is finally shining in a solo light . She’s amazing .
Jade came to make her statement as a pop star singer. She can do literally everything. Amazing vocals, extremely good deliver, impecable dance. Definitely she should be everyone's new obsession
2:59 those vocals are incredible!!!!! ❤️ MAIN POP GIRL ENERGY
0:41 Wow when the violins kick in and them vocals!!! PERFECTION!!!
I got literal chills!!
Got chills
2:45 onward I transcended
You could say...I'm in heaven... 😉
Same. 🪽
Jade nailed those LIVE VOCALS, her voice is flawless! 😭
I’m so impressed with Jade. I knew she’d be the soloist who took the most risks. She doesn’t seem to care about her image (beyond the basics of just not being an asshole). She will burp in public, laugh the loudest, and she’s a creative diamond. She’s a great dancer, amazing singer, hell of an actress, and just overall, a creative artist.
Not sure what burping in public has to do with anything but I hope you’re not comparing her to the other members because Leigh Anne took the most risk musically if we’re being honest. Jade was always this way it’s nothing new. Love her though but y’all are acting like she set a trend
@@AlwaysLM2011 Yeah Leigh’s sound is the most different for sure. The original AOMD single has multiple sounds and many ppl have described it as chaotic, which is risky.
@@AlwaysLM2011 nobody is acting like she’s setting a trend. She actually is setting trends. Leigh and Jade are head and shoulders above the other two. Leigh just needed the second single to really pop off. The first wasn’t amazing. Jade blew the roof off because her solo debut is a single song that could have a million different incarnations. Jesy played it safe by cowtowing to hip hop culture and unfortunately aligning herself with Diddy (not her fault) and then Perrie did herself a disservice by not releasing Tears first. Her output has been tepid at best.
@@user-wm2hr6kq7v yeah people are acting like she is , they are saying it’s different and risky when we’ve seen this from many artists. Don’t get me wrong I love what she is doing it fits her personality. I just don’t like when people try to use her being chaotic as a way to say she is better than the others. I think the reason Leigh Anne and jade have gotten better feedback is because they are doing music that is authentic to them and not tying to do songs that is considered generic pop Taylor swift kinda vibes. Perrie is great she just hasn’t given us her authentic self yet and she needs to run not walk away from this generic pop. Why is two of her songs about a breakup? She’s engaged with a son and she’s already got her ex boyfriend song with shout to my ex. She needs to mature her sound.
@@AlwaysLM2011 agreed. I think Jade is just more bombastic than Leigh. But they both broke the ceiling in their own ways. And I’m still bopping to “Don’t Say Love”. Angel of My Dreams is just interesting melodically cause there are so many things you can do with the hook. I’m just so glad that the two ladies that (in my opinion) didn’t get their proper flowers while in the group, are shining solo.
THE LIGHTING DIRECTION, THE CHOREOGRAPHY HERE OHMYGOODNESS, this was a SHOW
This version is so pretty. So otherworldly. I am speechless. Literally brought me to tears. She is truly a star and icon. She already was in Little Mix but even as a solo too.
this has genetically changed me. i am a new person after watching this.
JADE?? THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE OH MY
Finally Jade is showing her potential
SHE'S AN ARTIST, SHE'S AN ICON, SHE'S THE MOMENT
i'm so glad that she's receiving the promo she deserves!
The way she adds that Egypt vibes at 2:26 ✨😭 This is magical live performance, jade!✨✨✨❤️
#5 trending in the UK, yes! come on mixers
I CANNOT. She has only released one song and yet she has given us EVERYTHING. Only Jade would be creative and talented enough to be able to give us a feast from one song ♥️❤️😍🥰❤️♥️
This is 100% LIVE, I'm in production, they will film the full video with her singing live vocals, hence why she has in ear monitors in, so every single time which I would say 4-5 time they did the run through she sang live and the live audio then gets pieced together in the studio for the notes and whatever she liked more. Just like Ariana Grande's VEVO performances and her 10 year celebration of her first album, that recorded live 4-5 times then pieced together in the studio for the best performance for us to listen and watch, but just remember Jade and Ariana sang this all. So it wouldn't matter if it was lip synced one bit. It's still her new vocals. The vocals were recorded right were she performing, hence the in ears and the microphone and you can hear the bang when she slams the floor. Same with Ariana you can hear her take the microphone off the stand countless times, hence her having overears so she can hear the band and the click to stay on tempo plus her voice.
This is very true! Thank you for putting this out there for everyone so that they know what happens behind the scenes a little bit. A lot of work goes into these!!
@@Sharki_V welcome, I do this for a living, with production of video and audio. Some people are just well stupid. It's live and spliced together. I don't understand when someone goes 'this video clip sounds the same as the song on the CD or album' that because it's a music video. This is a live version with spliced vocals for the best vocals for us to listen too.
Oh DAMN SHE IS VERY STABLE
Thank you for this insight, really interesting to know theres so much that goes into these little clips we see it's insane the hours actually having been spent on them. 😊
No it isn’t 🙄
I don't generally like slow songs, but I keep coming back to this after I see the original. This is beautiful. I can't believe she did this.
I always thought Jade was talented, but now she's having her moment to show MORE OF IT. Like, this version shows that. I'm so happy, speechless and proud of her. I know she hid something more inside her😭😍
the commitment,the artistry.. I’m obsessed she deserves more
Give this woman a grammy NOW
4:01the whole tumblr would have collapsed by this sole frame
I’m blown away. This performance was ASTONISHING!!! Jade has already cemented herself as a visionary artist just from the first single.
this song getting a more intimate version was the best idea of all, even more so with the whole context of the song and the music video, which tells what the music industry is like in front of the cameras and behind them too, and JADE as she is/was part of one of the biggest girl bands in the history of the united kingdom and the world, which by the way was the last big global female/male group of great dominance to break up, so she knows very well what she sings in each verse of this track in its entirety, i'm so happy that JADE is having her moment as a great pop artist, because we are in such a raw moment and her delivering what she is delivering is truly something of a dream.
The fact that this S.A.D. version is different from the S.A.D. version on Spotify, and that there is a separate music video for it, says a lot about how much effort she's put into AOMD. She could've easily released a few more digitally edited versions or remixes, but she chose to put out this masterpiece. The completely different vocal and musical arrangements, production, looks, set - oh she really told her record label that she's the boss here and demanded for that budget. Oh JADE, the world will have to stan you I'm afraid.🙌🤍
its on spotify, just change to video, you can hear it as if it were audio
this was breathtaking from beginning to end but just kept getting better!!!! I'm in awe of 2:24 onwards 😭
Her artistry is so beautiful all around ❤
Voice control, stage presence, the acting while singing…
One thing about Jade she will ALWAYS add emotion and soul to any song she sings, this woman is one of a kind !!! I truly manifest she will be a global star
The goosebumps this is giving me is INSANE. This is so dramatic but in the right amount. She‘s only one song and her artistry is already showing. Oh Jade, the artist you are
hearing her vocal growth from the very beginning of her career to now is so crazy
From the shackles of SYCO to destroying the SYCO. Jade is here to stay 💚
It was like ascending mid air, being at an opera, this I tell you is a MASTERPIECE
I am back to this again and over again. This post is an appreciation for her and her team. Amazingly beautiful. 🥹
i come back here everyday. love this one!
@@luanbork360 I know right. Feels like it is mandatory to watch everyday.
Jade proving that she is here to stay💅💅
This was so POWERFUL. Unreal. Jade is showing us the tip of the iceberg, I think. I knew she had a good voice, but I'm not sure I knew she could do THIS. I'm blown away and I don't even like slow songs much. I feel like this is only the beginning. This song is truly a masterpiece (that's overused, but I mean it in this case). Slow. ANGELIC. Dramatic.
I’m not surprised at all she gave us sneak peaks in the group through the years. It’s just now it feels different because she improved on her technique and is singing a song so deeply personal to her. She can sing her heart out and always could🙂
Yes, she always could. We just didn’t get a chance to see her full potential, and I think we will see even more. I figured Jade out of all four of the girls of Little Mix would be the most creative and the most eccentric of the group. You can see that in “wasabi“. I totally agree with you.❤
@@JiaPia3 I think Leigh Anne is just as creative but in a different way as they have different music and visions. Those two I knew would show out the most and it’s on full display now and the reactions have been amazing for them.🥰
@@AlwaysLM2011that’s true. Leigh Anne is a creative as well. She experiments with fashion, so that should have been my first clue.
@@JiaPia3 her, fashion, her writing, her dancing and vocals, her hair, her music being so versatile and not being one dimensional and boring. Leigh has always been the most versatile since in the group but jade is very versatile too. I hope Jade experiments with genres too.
I've always loved little mix but this woman was born to have a superstar solo career because ain't nobody else doing it like her nowadays... no words just WOW!
IM in heaven when you’re singing to me
SHES SENDING US IN HER ANGEL RAINING CLOUD
Back here again for the 1000th time, im just so stunned by this beautiful song and the goddess singing it! 🤍
I'm a mixer since X Factor but somehow I always felt that Jade never got her flowers in the band. Everyone talked about Leigh Anne's evolution or Perrie's power but Jade has been a dark horse with her beltings and vocal range and this video proves it!
Leigh Anne was the invisible one
@@thesassynerd at the begining yes but recently I saw everyone praise her vocal evolution (she became incredible dont get me wrong) but I see Jade as a shadow of Perrie's power, don't know how to explain... she never got noticed or praised in my vision, might be wrong
@@danielalmeida5834 I get what you're saying. She was never as ignored as Leigh Anne was, to the point of people trying to correct themselves and give her more credit at some point, and she was also never the center of attention like Perrie was, because, well she looks like a Barbie and has powerful vocals (they really tried to make her "the leader" of the band, the girls rejected tho, including Perrie), so Jade was kind of a middle child. Not the least favorite, not the most seen. But she was second in favoritism for sure, even with Jesy in the group. Leigh Anne is still ignored to this day tho, she did not receive either the expectation Perrie received (but it didn't work anyway, because people were disappointed with Perrie's music) nor the same amount of support as Jade is receiving, while she obviously invested a LOT of money on promo. Jade seems to be making way better artistic choices with her music tho, my favorite right now.
@@karaflash your words explain exactly what I felt, thank you! Jade became for me the dark horse on their solo careers... i think she will be the most successful of them
@@danielalmeida5834please stop calling jade the dark horse. She literally was loved as much as perrie and called the second best vocalist. She had high expectations just like perrie for the solo stuff. Leigh Anne and only Leigh Anne was the dark horse and ignored and disrespected one. Her expectations were low but yet she is the most successful one solo and now jade has joined in that success too. No hate to you but saying jade is the dark horse and claiming Leigh Anne got praised more is super offensive to Leigh Anne because it’s far from being true. Jade is not an underdog and never has been, that has always been Leigh Anne and no matter if she is still making the best music imo and clearly to lots of people she will always be the underdog as the black member of little mix which is unfortunate.
I SWEAR I better not be the only person who cried to this masterpiece. The whole WORLD needs to see this
