FIRST TIME hearing Angelina Jordan - Born to Die (Cover)

[@nancydavis2590]

She is great at everything she does.

[@dianeclark1135]

Her love of singing and her voice is breathing new life and excitement to music lovers of all ages!!

[@RedSinter]

She has the ability to reach your heart and soul with whatever she sings and while I think she's chosen the pieces not just because the compliment her understanding of herself, her voice, her ability, but because they highlight her personality and they strecth her range. Not that they are really a challenge, but her own proving ground for her working on her growth. Sort of I love this story and I think its time to see how I'm doing and the music speaks to me. So, here's my answer.

[@daynaswan427]

Yep Angelina Jordan is amazing. What ever she touches with her voice turns into sweetness with wonder......

[@jackritchie5475]

Oh I love this version Angelina it’s a wonderful Arrangement it really shows how wonderful her voice is it

[@michaelmarshall5847]

Unbelievable, she's just unbelievable! Who else has this much talent? No one!

[@ripsumrall8018]

This was my first, came up on YT, I clicked. As soon as she started singing, I paused and cursed and paced. Start'd over and cried my eyes out. I never heard anything like this! The vocal skills, the emotional skills...

[@patfraser1466]

What I really like is the minimal instruments and music other than her voice just captivates you. She doesn't need all the studio things that they do to cover up the voice but her voice just shines

[@greyline1012]

Great reaction. Yes she effortless and gifted.

[@icfun7453]

Great reaction. Great video. Angelina is just very special. She knows what she is doing. Thank you for your reaction.

[@adelinaacero]

Oh yes, Angelina is Born to Sing ... and to heal aching bones, muscle pains and headaches👏🥰❤️ so lucky are we to have her in our lives. Thank you so much for your beautiful, great, decent and credible reactions , keep it up Adam, we need someone like you to continue reacting. 😍💕🌻👏

She takes on every complex music styles and every amazing artist at amazing ease at such a young age.

[@tonylovesotis7662]

Her composition "Shield" is on a level of sophistication and vocal talent I haven't heard before. This girl is extraordinary.

[@workerscompensationjustice1851]

I can't believe how incredible she is. Just perfect...Born to sing...never cared Lara Del Ray singing this but this is like "listen to die"... Dimash, Angelina Jordan and Daneliya

[@ma.salvacioncapilitan9747]

Wow what a voice...i love her

[@marenehanson5526]

She may not know how good she is but she knows she was born to sing. Incredible.

[@sharisp2]

Her voice adds a 3rd dimension with its rich texture. That is how I think of her voice , she takes a flat, 2d song and with her interpretation it takes on a 3rd dimension you can see and feel, and the her tone sweeps you up and carries you on a journey, like bobbing in the waves 🌊 She is so unique, she uses her voice like an instrument and I think music is her 3rd language, besides Norwegian and English.

[@billnelson8001]

I’ve heard many reactors say that they like Angelina’s covers better than the original, no surprise there. It amazes me how she performs so effortlessly with anything she does. She is unbelievable without even accounting for her age. One of the best I have ever listened to and I’m 71 years old.

[@magdamulford4038]

I never seen such a young Girl with so much feelings and emotions in her songs ♥️♥️♥️

[@susanmiyashiro9258]

Amazing! Yes different level !

[@leonardbellinger5223]

Loved your reaction as always.

[@geniej9093]

Guessing AJ was absorbing music from 1 year old or earlier. What sets her apart as the usual child is the gift /design and the fact that she figured out how to reproduce great music. And then making the music something otherworldly. I'm hooked and by the look on your face a few bars in on each song, so are you.

[@joelok48]

She is the best singer in the world. In my opinion.

[@adelfaroqueroque2491]

I’m mesmerized, she is such a good singer 😍👍I love her ❤️❤️

[@magdamulford4038]

No Singer ever got my attention the way Angelina did!! Goosebumps with every song I listen too!! To me she is from a different era! So young and so accomplished......what will she sound like when she is an Adult????? I love every song she covers.....in many ways better then the original Artist! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@Lene-Lene]

It doesn't matter which artist has the original, Adele, Lana delRey, Freddie Mercury.... she does it all, and she always makes it her own and og just sound so so amazing. Her original songs are very special, because no matter how great she is at covers, one can feel when she sings her one songs. She owns them, and she makes you feel it.

[@kimacronym2521]

Great reaction ! We have to accept that Angelina is a vocal and musical genius. No one ever at that age has been able to interpret so many different artists, and also write her own songs. It is simply astounding.

[@helgerode]

So nice to see your reaction. Yes, this song is really a piece of art.

[@trudergilds7044]

All the money she earn, she give away to the people who need it. We love her♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@malcolmboswell9717]

One of my observations regarding hit songs with a lasting impact is the amount of times it switches tempo, even in this song, count the number of times the tempo and melody changes. Think of the song "Yesterday" form the Beatles, is a song that almost was made to run the scales "Yesterday -All - My -Troubles - seem so - far - away (think Do Re Mi Fa So La Si Do) Now - it - looks - as - though - they're - Here - To - Stay (Do - Si - La - So - Fa - Mi - Re - Do) and yet it is a masterpiece of music. That is what this song is all about.

[@hans-peterpicard9811]

Hello Adam, my name is Peter, I come from Germany and I am 71 years old. I like the way you express your reactions. Mainly I got to know you through the good Angelina Jordan. I think your comments are appropriate, but you can see the fascination this girl causes. Her voice is not that of a child, but that of a young, sometimes middle-aged woman. (Old women don't give it :)). The entire repertoire that Angelina brings to the table is also amazing. By the way, you can see the whole Angelina family in the video "Bohemian Rapsodie". At the end, when the applause starts, you see an older lady in the foreground (Angelina's grandmother) followed by a blonde woman with a child (girl, that's Angelina's mother and sister), followed by Angelina's father. So, enough talked about. I wish you many more good reactions, most of which I will watch. And of course a lot of success and a good time. // with respect Peter

[@103mrg]

hans That wasn't her father; it was her uncle (mother's brother) who is Angelina's manager.

[@ricklayeux5688]

So sweet, beautiful girl. I can listen to her everyday.

[@mih1961]

Like I've said before she born at the perfect time so we could enjoy the older stuff before she came and made them better.

[@jettiesmall8333]

Omg she's just what we needed she's number 1 that girl she's so amazing love that song born to die omg there's nothing she can't sing I think she's well above certain singers like no Elvis Adel lady Ga so many more I love her she's the best what tours will she be taken I hope one comes in Alabama I no ill would be going

[@suzannejane1035]

I adore Lay Del Ray and Angelina has stuck to that version. The song is so profound but she sings it as if she wrote it. Love this.

[@lawrencekeller6029]

Rusty is right the look on your face say's it all, she puts a spell on you, not only is she in another world when singing, when listening to her sing you go into another world! i like her interview on TV two talking about her one original song shield at 12 and then she sings it on stag with band? A gift for us all to enjoy, keep them coming!

[@wilfriedmatusch9293]

Your “reaction” was priceless, added to my enjoyment in revisiting this song. Your critique.... on point I look forward to joining you for more 🇦🇺

[@rogercarriere4756]

She’s absolutely incredible and her hands movements are hypnotic.

[@mariomonari3930]

Que voz hermosa.magnifica interpretacion

[@laurabongard2682]

I just happened to have a video come up that featured Angelina Jordan on one of the talent shows. After watching the video, I was curious to know if she had won the competition or not. I wasn't coming across much information about her participation in the show, so I searched to see if she had a KZbin channel, and she does. I started checking out various covers she has done and ran across this particular song and I was floored. She was only 11 or 12 years old when she did this son and I hadn't heard her sing like this yet. After I listened to her sing this, I went to find the original singer of this song. I have to say, I liked how Angelina Jordan sang this song better than the original singer. You wouldn't think this 11 year old should understand this song she is singing - I think she actually does understand. I think she is wise beyond her years, and I also think she knows she is good. That is her intent - to be good. Watch some more of her work and you'll notice that she not only has command of her voice, but she has command of whoever is playing the music while she sings. It doesn't seem like it would be possible for one person to have so many singing voices, but she most certainly does, and she is an expert of them all.

[@alanschechterly245]

This is one of may favorite Angelina covers. It really showcases her deep mellow vibrato. Her voice just melts you!

[@jettiesmall8333]

Hi Adam, Your face one phrase in said it all - Amazement. As many Angels know, listening to Angelina is a pleasure. And in this song, we are treated to musical magic. Liquid Gold is an understatement.

[@MusicLover-uy7pc]

Thank you for your grat reaction. Your reactions are the jewels of all the reactions of Angelina. I also love so much "At Last" and "Unchained Melody". She makes you cry with these grat songs. And she sings them best.

[@johnvasi]

You’re new to Angelina, and I understand your surprise at her prodigious talent, but we long-term fans know that people only need to hear her once or twice before they’re hooked. I have listened to a lot of music all my life starting back in the 1950’s. With no hesitation-there has never been a singer that has captivated me like Angelina does. Clearly, it’s impossible to say that someone is the best singer in the world because there are too many types of music and too many personal preferences. But I can say that there is no one I would rather listen to than Angelina. And, I listen to her everyday. And I listen to her sing many types of music, most of which is not even professionally recorded. And even though I’ve heard her songs so many times, I want to hear them again because her voice is so soothing, sincere, and beautiful. She is the best interpreter of lyrics I’ve ever heard. For a side of Angelina you’ve never heard, try “I’m Still Holding out for You”. This was done in a recording studio when she was 10 years old. It’s not just the quality of soulful voice that stuns you, but her delivery of the mature, melancholic lyrics seems impossible for anyone that age.

[@billmichealoff9549]

Exactly!! There are so many from the 40's on up that I could listen to or go on about forever. But I listen to Angie every day because she has a healing personal relationship that she conveys from the composer to the listener. Her voice is music!

[@elizecloete2924]

I find that she gets into my head and I carry her song for hours or days, until I listen to the next one from her

[@signboy101twoiron2]

I could not agree more. I too have a listening history going back to the 50's and Angelina has replaced every single vocalist throughout that time frame as my favorite. "I'm still holding out for you" was an unauthorized release of a studio recording that once learning the lyrics were the subject of suicide, Angelina and her family vowed to not release and to never perform again. To date I believe she has kept that promise. But, it has to be heard as it was recorded. Absolutely stunning. follow this link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqebnp15nZqcn6c

i call it magic because by every cover she does she takes away from you/us the possibility to think about the original right away,,,,,,,,,after 30 sec you only know that she is singing and its her song which maybe someone else sang too,,,, but soon you forget even this,,,,,,she hypnotize you/us for as long as she needs and for a while you leave this reality to be where ever she is,,,,,,,,, i love those experiences and love to share it with others like yourself,,,,,thanx

She arranges all the songs she sings since age 6 . she is amazing. I agree. No 2 songs sound alike on how she performs them. Her spin and vocal ability is one of a kind. Can't wait until she rec@hes her 20s. She just signed her first recording contract.

Angelina is one take, no editing, except for the few actual studio recordings, she sits down and gives us her all. Not like the studio version of most other artists.

[@leechap3]

Every cover she does is better than the original to my ears. I remember hearing this the first time and I was convinced it was fake, the voice is so sublime and you can't see her mouth behind the microphone😊

[@hans-georgschroter7887]

Who could sing instead of her??? Nobody 🤗💓💖🌞

[@stevek5332]

If you view it on a large screen, you can see her mouth quite well. I use a 32" monitor.

[@philgaringer9065]

Thanks Adam for the thoughtful comments and reaction. Effortless is one of the most frequent characterizations of Angelina's singing. The amazing thing is that you will see this same effortlessness even when she sings high and up tempo. She belts incredibly high on her cover of Whitney Houston's"I have nothing" and James Brown's "This is a man's World" and you would think she was singing Happy birthday. Even when it is not her own song, she tells the story of the song better than anyone else I know, which is why her covers sound different, and in many times better than the original. Keep going with Angelina and watch your world of music appreciation expand.

[@DavidLDodge]

I don't see her as a big star yet. In my opinion, she is a rising star who has not yet reached her full potential. She has a long way to go, but the good news is that she is building a powerful and broad base that will make a foundation that will support her wide range of abilities. She is not ever going to be a one pony show that will have to rely on one or two hits to survive. She will become a big star that can hold her own in a cut-throat industry and rise above the best in the business. She'll become a superstar when she isn't covering others, but instead has young singers falling all over each other trying to cover her. God Bless her parents that apparently are successfully raising her to be a beautiful person as well as a great and beautiful entertainer.

[@voyageur7393]

This young woman is beauty and music. Her voice is beauty and music - her body moves with beauty and music - her hands do not move, they also sing with elegance - her gaze is beautiful, pure, innocent and music - her whole being is beauty and music - her soul is immaculate and music. It is all unique, perfect, almost incredible and so overwhelming, extraordinary. But most impossible of all, when you look at her and listen to her with sensitivity, then you see and feel that she has an absolute, whole and so humble personality, such a great humanity emerges from her, and all that with so much simplicity. In truth all the comments on Angélina are similar and are below, and everyone is upset by this artist and this beautiful person. The only justice to be rendered in the face of such a gift of life is ultimately silence.

[@McDevittMike]

She knows how good she is. Everything she does is so obviously deliberate and well thought-out. She's simply astounding. Great reaction, by the way. Keep it up.

[@Loupa57]

Mike McDevitt you’re right, she knows how good she is. What makes her stand out is that she uses that knowledge for development - as you point out. Whereas so typically many singers who become self aware self destruct in their vanity.

She works hard to improve and to try different genres of music. I don't know her personally but from what I've seen, she seems to be very humble and compassionate. Her parents put an emphasis on her education and having some time being a kid. The good news is that they are keeping a close eye on her because they are well aware what can happen in the music business. Thank you for your time and your reaction!

[@judleym5877]

It seems it has always been “another day at the office” for Angelina, even from the very start. The beginning to her singing Gloomy Sunday on the Norway talent program at age 7 was the first indicator of this. She stuck her tiny little arm straight out to indicate to the band she was ready to start, as if to say “I got this - let’s roll”, and then proceeded to blow the audience away. Since then, Angelina has continued to exhibit a quiet, understated, and humble confidence, and for good reason. She is one of the most accomplished and talented singers on the planet and at the age of 14. I didn’t want to go down the rabbit hole by saying “best”, but……Adam, excellent observations (as expected).

[@yves2932]

Interesting note on how hard it is to soldier through this song keeping up the momentum. I guess some factor is her breath control. I think yearning for an oppertunity to add some high notes or other gimmicks is not an issue for her though. She is not that "look I'm here" personality that constantly hungers for confimation. Does she know how good she is? I think she knows exactly what she can do. She acts like a very humble person though. I can't imagine her thinking about herself beeing brilliant or something. In her AGT interview she was asked what it would mean for her to win the show. Her answer: I wan't to stay humble and continue doing a lot of hard work and sing more and more. It's a wise move to check out the original directly before to get more perspective. The first few times I heard this video I didn't bother to do that. A mistake. She's doing it so smooth, it's really deceptive and lulled me in. At that time I though it sounds very nice but very similar to the original. LOL. I couldn't have been more wrong ;-)
