"effortless" is so accurate. You really seem to "get" what Angelina is doing. She is not going to give you all the obvious belting notes, or the cliche arrangements of songs. She doesn't so much do "covers" as she does "interpretations". You have many, many more Angelina performances to hear. Something I didn't leave on the last video that you may find useful is my chronological playlist. It's some of my favorites arranged in order from Age 7 to current. It will help give you an idea of where you are in her progression. You can also use it for reference; if you get requests that don't have links, they will likely be on this list.... kzbin.info/aero/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO It's hard to point you to any one spot on the list because they are all so good, but you could pick a few to work your way up to her Bohemian. She did lots of incredible stuff at 11 and 12. Be sure to check out some of her Adele, Lana, and Amy covers. Nobody does them better.

[@kallekula191]

I TOTALY love this version of feeling good... (and her version from ''allsång på grensen'') and she is only 10! she OWN! ...and yes I am from Sweden and understand all she says in Norwegian! This girl is the best!!!

[@tm13tube]

"Interpretationds" Excellent

[@tm13tube]

It's amazing she chooses, she knows her sound so well, has such confidence, it blows me away.

[@DaisyMae1975LOVE]

Rusty, you may know more than I do but did she sign with a label? That's the word around...so proud of her!

[@RustyShacklefordChannel]

@@DaisyMae1975LOVE yes. she did sign with Republic Records. If you google "Industry Talk: Michael Astar" you will find the article where it was announced.

[@keithserafy]

By this stage, at 10, Angelina's "child" singer days were over. She was fully professional with 100% adult voice. At 12 she got a great mic for her birthday, moved to LA with her "Shield" (Mom, Sister, Grandma & Uncle), met new people in the music industry & ran off a number of vocal masterpieces, many with acoustic guitarist Ivan Mendez. You should use Rusty's list of "Live Through the Years" playlist. Pick & choose songs you love or you can follow her development as the playlist is chronological. This may sound silly but she is "once-in-a-lifetime" & I'm just so glad I get to see the start of it.

[@meleeeu]

Hello, thank you for your very authentic reaction, the first song I ever heard from Angelina was this one ... the way she sings is shocking, really beautiful, she is vibrant, she touches your soul when you listen to her and I also I fell in love with her version of Yellow brick Road and Someone you loved, it is really beautiful to be able to hear her version, I feel like she's listening to the world with melancholy and hope ...

[@johnvasi]

I understood your comments on your first reaction to I Put a Spell on You. You hadn’t see Angelina before, and you wandered into an intentionally stylized performance. You wanted to hear her sing, and today’s video was a good example. Above all, Angelina is a singer who is gifted with an exceptional natural voice, but she has worked hard to master the art of singing. You’ll see that as you move through the very diverse selection of songs ahead of you. I envy that you’re just starting out. I am very impressed at how well you understood Angelina after this song. Yes, she’s completely calm during her performances. She is confident in her abilities, but visibly humble on stage. Her style is never to wow you with vocal fireworks. Instead, she draws you in with her novel arrangements, her timing, and the beauty of her voice. You don’t even want to applaud because you’ll miss something. You’ll see that she has the audience in the palm of her hand right from the start (cue Bohemian Rhapsody right here). It’s so hard to suggest your next review because there are twenty songs that are easily in contention. But to see a side of Angelina you’ve not experienced yet, I’ll suggest “A Million Years Ago”, the Adele cover. You’ll see stripped down, acoustic Angelina with just a beautiful guitar backing her. And you’ll hear what many of us love most. That would be Angelina’s rich, resonant low register, her stunning voice “unplugged”, and her ability to interpret and deliver lyrics better than anyone I’ve ever heard.

[@livingLge]

So impresssed with your reaction. This is probably my favorite performance of hers. That one climb, towards the end, where she still had gas left in the tank for that growl! And her whole body is into it. Love it!

[@tinuserasmus6279]

This performance is just stunning!Most people find it difficult to find the words to describe her talent..that's how good she is.Enjoy..

[@boulbon08]

Thank you for your really lovely and in-depth reaction, Adam. - Enjoy your journey discovering Angelina. You won’t regret it. She is a gem.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES when she was 8yrs old

[@billduguay7142]

She's a force of nature....simply amazing talent

[@albertphilippi4371]

very good reaction, very well said and recognized Angelina's talent. Angelina 10 years old, big band, on a live stage on TV. I am always overwhelmed by Angelina's voice, no matter what style of music. ✌️😎🇩🇪🇪🇺

[@juuliawarrior1188]

Wow she is really talented, I also became her fan.❤️

[@henningmathiassen412]

Adam, just before she left Norway for USA, she had a final performance at a Norwegian TV program. She was 10 years old but the emotion she put into the song «Every time we say goodbye» was special and not easy for even an adult to produce. So I would be happy if you react to this song.

[@idril6643]

[@blackbird8516]

Her Grandmother is a prodigy...and her grandmother's influence on this prodigy...has been incredible...Angelina has absorbed all the influences from the past...an era of seminal music.......that her grandmother obviously loved....and exposed Angelina. to..in her really formative years. The result: is a wonderful rebirthing of all these great songs to an audience that now covers the whole age spectrum. With this sort of background Angelina has a musical grounding that many of her age would not have....the result speaks for itself......

[@bingobillable]

I loved how the looks of amazement on your face were worth thousands of words. Stay the course on the older songs. The experience as she ages is beyond belief.

[@ellenhulslander2897]

Another favorite for me is A Million Yesrs Ago. Her ability to convey emotion is unmatched.

[@chadwickyang7885]

@Adam Straughan - I like your good reaction and review, thank you and really appreciate you doing that. This is probably my 60th times listerning to this Angelina Jordan's performance. It never gets old, I feel the same as the first time I felt after listening to this performance. In awe and speechless . Ever since I've discovered Angelina back in January, I've been listening 3 - 4 hours a day. Like stress releasing after a day of hard work. I think I've missed may be once or twice not more than two days when I was painting my sister's house. I thank God every time I'm listerning to Angelina Jordan for putting her on this earth.

[@torilmjelvasaatvedt697]

After her first audition for Norway's got talent, singing Gloomy Sunday, one of the judges said:"You ARE music." I agree with that. Thank you for a lovely reaction. Subscribed for your Aurora-reactions, glad you've discovered Angelina as well 💕

[@Viseur]

Thank you very much for your thoughtful reaction! I hope you'll do more Angelina Jordan in the future!

[@truus5653]

Thank you for reacting to Angelina Jordan, good and honest reaction much appreciated

[@McDevittMike]

This is another great performance. You're batting 1,000 this time. I don't understand how she knows how to sing like that, but God I'm glad she does.

[@jacksparrowbattlepirates2017]

FYI based on an interview that Angelina had on The View on ABC in America she started singing when she was 18 months old.....Oh by the way she sang "Fly me to the Moon" on The View...

[@Kyomiibrown]

Angelina does her own arrangements, even when so young. Would recommend listening to “It’s a man’s world...” it’s incredible.

[@lizlessner2228]

I am so thrilled that you are enthused about this performance! Thank you for taking the time on listening to her! Yes, she does put her own interpretation on her covers, always and she always honors the originals. Her growth is as phenomenol as the difference in the way her voice may sound with the song that she sings. Her technical ability is so unbelievable that she sounds completely different in some songs. Her ballads are so emotional, rich and warm.....smooth as silk, whereas some of her “Amy Winehouse” covers have a vocal fry techniques and different tone ......that really suit the songs. Then you get “A Song For A” which sounds like a theme from movie ...from the 30’s, 40’s... Her Jazz from the live version at a festival of “It’s a Man’s World” is similar to “I’m feeling Good” but moreso and then everything in between. Everything that you said was spot on and I assure you that this reaction will be one of countless reactions that will not only amaze you but will totally surprise you. I really love that you said that Angelina’s performance, while it had not fancy flashing lights...elaborate anything on stage presentation...just Angelina and her talent and that was all that was needed to captivate you. Like I say, Angelina only needs her voice and a camera with a microphone and music to entertain and hypnotise you. I think we agree with each other. That is the sign of a true artist.

[@derekmaddox7236]

Well, I think we can let you into the club of those who are addicted to Angelina Jordan! This young woman has legions of fans around the world, and all it takes is one or two songs for anyone to get completely hooked. You've got some really fantastic surprises in store for you. Like Rusty said, she doesn't just sing songs. She interprets every song she sings in her own completely unique fashion, and she has an amazing ability to convey the emotions of a song like no other artist. She has reduced most of us to tears more times than we can count. Not only does she do classic jazz standards, she covers more pop artists (she does Adele better than Adele!), and she's written several original pieces. Most of her videos are live recordings - one take, no edits, just perfect. My personal recommendation for your next Angelina video is her tribute to her friend Avicci, "Wake Me Up".

[@keithserafy]

I totally agree & she transformed Avicii's hit pop song, with 2 billion views, into a mournful beautiful tribute to him shortly after he committed suicide at 28. She is well aware of what early fame can do to you & she & her family have done a beautiful job dealing with those realities. Here is the link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4jPonSpjNuir7c

[@dagnytaggart5955]

Every sounds Angelina makes, she fully meant the way you heard it.

[@FlameCold258]

You thanked us for the nice comments, then I throw back a thank you to you which I consider a real quality reactor that is a pleasure to follow. I saw all your reactions of the music genius Aurora with great interest. When you now begin the journey with such a young and unique artist as Angelina, I would recommend her cover of Rihana "Stay" before taking Angelina's epic Bohemian Rhapsody as The Queen tweeted and praised on the band's twitter page.

[@lilsun724]

'Stay' is the one. There is great singers doing vibrato, and then there is Angelina doing vibrato. so beautiful and effectively to deliver a story of love and anguish. No one better.

[@AdamStraughan]

Thanks so much for your kind words! And yes, I will get around to watching Stay soon :)

[@madelaca4589]

You're right about all your comments. Angelina makes her own arrangements since she was 7/8 years. She kind of listens to a song, evaluates what she feels about it and makes it her own. There's so much about her that you will find out and not only about her voice and performances but her as a person :) "It's a Man's World" at 12 live (fan recording) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnbQaKd9p898gc0 "Shield" her original song written at 12 and sung live in this video at 13 years (fan recording) kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4akp3ilhd2BrNk And one of the fans favourite performance "Every time we say goodbye" live at TV2 (Norwegian TV) also at 11 years kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYO2emt-orl7gKM These are some example scattered through the years ;)

[@nancydavis2590]

She is so powerful and has so much control. Love her so much. Thank you for covering her

[@judleym5877]

I almost wish (emphasis on almost) Angelina could stay a child, so unbelievably awesome her performances have been in her early days of life. I've watched many of the kid talent show clips from a variety of countries, and I've been both surprised and very impressed . There is a wealth of kid talent out there, and as an old guy, I have to acknowledge nothing from my day could match the quality and depth of talented kid performers today. In my opinion, however, Angelina is still in a class by herself. Adam, I assume you are aware the song was written by Anthony Newly, one of your countrymen? It's a wonderful song that deserves it's own praise, I think. Good reaction from you, as expected. Cheers.

[@marenehanson5526]

For a 10 year old child to go out on that stage….. amazing. I love her.

[@lailajensen8012]

It is always fun to se the faces of people listening to Angelina. Yours are no exeption :) She is good isn`t she? Totaly effordless as you noticed. If you are going on a journey with this girl I recomend that you also listen to her earliest performances in Norway got Talent . She is so tiny, with a missing front-tooth, but sings like a pro. And remember that english is her second language. And of cause her own song Shield. There is a very special take of You are always on my mind, when she dedicate the song to her grandfather that just died. It is diffucult to watch without crying. Greetings from Norway.

[@philgaringer9065]

Thanks for doing this reaction to "Feeling Good". This is one of my favorites because she is just so relaxed and effortless in her delivery. To expand on some of your comments about her being artistic in the choices she makes with her performances: the thing about her that I respect the most is that she pays tribute and respect to every song she sings by giving great deference to the song itself and simply interpreting the intent and story of the piece. She uses her vocalization, tone, and technique, to enhance the meaning of the song instead of just showing off her skills. If the song needs a belted note or a sick run, she will use them. If it needs quiet, soulful tones, she uses them. Her focus is always on expressing the music, not herself. There are songs that I have listened to all my life and I couldn't recite the lyrics to. But then I hear Angelina perform the song and all of a sudden, I am hearing and appreciating the lyrics for the first time. It is really a mind blowing experience. You said you wanted to explore more of her different types of music, so I've included some widely varying selections below, including some of her originals. "Cry me a River" - 11 years old - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIebeXyMgZeJeqc - Outdoor concert with a jazz band. Very sultry and smooth jazz club vibe. "This is a Man's World" - 12 years old - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnbQaKd9p898gc0 - Outdoor concert with the Norwegian Military band. James Brown R&B sound with belting and running - sustains an E6. "Shield" - 12 years old - original song - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooLXhpWMgMdjrNU - Live Television performance of her 3rd original. James Bond theme meets smooth Jazz song. "A Song for A" - 12 years old - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKCWnpuuhbJgq6M - Original composition by Nico Cartosio, written specifically for her to sing and be included as the only vocal selection on his instrumental album - Tremendous classical and poetic song. Unbelievable classical delivery "Above the Water" - 13 years old - kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2e2mp-to7dlkMU - Dance music video - Full on Electronic Dance Music - Angelina was specifically invited to sing this original song by the writers "What is Life" - 11 years old - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKeTo2ptgLNqiKM - First original song - Acoustical version, just her and a pianist. Awesome light jazz feel.

[@shihansensei983]

I've truly enjoyed the heartfelt enthusiasm which flows through all of your reactions. I am also a big AJ fan and it's great to see the old songs come to life again. What a treasure Angelina is and we are all blessed to be witnesses of her amazing talent. Adam, I don't usually suggest and artists, groups, or songs to reactors, as it is always good to be taking that particular journey with them. Having said that, I suppose all norms are eventually overshadowed. Noticing your liking of the a capella genre, I was wondering if you have heard of the a capella group called 'Home Free.' They are a country-ish group of very talented singers which can cover just about any genre. If you have a specific reason for choosing not reacting to them, I will understand fully. If, on the other hand, you could indulge this old donkey, please do give them a listen. They have a vast number of KZbin videos, as they have been producing their own music and many covers over 20+ years. They make music fun and isn't that one of the major goals of music? I am probably a very lonely voice in the void, but hey, one has to at least ask.... Thank you for your unique insights and I wish you continued success.

Verzeiht, daß Wir nicht in Englisch schreiben, aber es ist nicht Unsere "native Language" und daher extrem schwer in Worte zu fassen, was man wirklich sagen möchte! A.J. das erste Mal zu hören, egal welches Lied in welcher Version, läßt einem eine Gänsehaut über den ganzen Körper rennen! Ihr Talent, Gefühl zu übermitteln ist unglaublich! (Incredible?) Es mag nur Unsere Ansicht, Unsere Meinung sein, doch am besten gefallen Uns Ihre Lieder, die -wie bei Born to Die, All of me, alle Adele Cover´s, Faded, Young and Beautyful- eher langsamer sind und Ihre Stimmbandbreite betonen! Wir denken, in solchen Liedern kann Sie Ihr Talent am besten zur Geltung bringen! Das heißt nicht, daß Ihre anderen Interpretationen schlechter sind, doch Uns gefällt es, wenn Sie Ihre Bandbreite ausspielen kann und einem damit Ihre übermittelnden Gefühle näher bringt. Wir haben nicht das musikalische Fachverständnis, um Uns besser, verständlicher zu artikulieren, aber Wir haben die Passion, Musik aller Art zu hören und zu mögen. Egal ob Klassik, Pop, Rock, Jazz, oder andere Stilrichtungen. Am Ende ist es der Interpret auf den es ankommt und Angelina ist in Unseren "Ohren" die beste Sängerin, die Wir in 53 Jahren gehört haben! Zum Abschluß möchten Wir von Euch etwas wissen. Ist es richtig, daß dieses junge Weib eine 5 Oktaven Stimme besitzt? Wir können nur auf einem alten Klavier nachprüfen, in welchem Bereich Sie sich befindet, aber genau das haben Wir festgestellt und auch bei einem Eurer Kollegen nachlesen können. Sie hat einfach zu viele Lieder, die Wir noch nicht hören konnten. Vielen Dank für Euer Verständnis bezüglich meiner Sprache, mit bestem Gruß, mp. a n d r e a s ©

Fantastic reaction to a stunning performance. She is incredible and I particularly liked the end when she goes up higher, gives a little of her inner Janis Joplin, finishes up calmly and gives us that angelic smile. She knew she had the audience in her hands from the first note they heard her sing. Can’t wait for more reactions, keep them coming.

Adam, I have been enthralled by Angelina now for about six months. I have listened to most all things concerning her on KZbin. This is the song that I decided was when, in my eyes, she became the greatest female singer to ever live. At 10 no less. Everything after this is just proof. She has had plenty of life experiences since that influence her ability to transmit the true feeling of the music to us. She is a gift to us when we badly need something good and it is her! Enjoy learning and feeling more from her, and remember there are many of us that do believe she is the best ever.

[@9Ballr]

👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Oh boy, do you have an incredible journey in store for you! This comment turned out to be pretty long, so I apologize in advance. Its length is a testament to the effect that discovering Angelina has had on me in the last six months. So first off, thank you for coming back to Angelina. Some reactors hear one song from her, think they understand what she sounds like and what she's all about, and because it wasn't a song or a performance they particularly liked, never come back to her again. By doing this they completely miss out on the incredible range and versatility Angelina possesses as a singer and an artist. Second, you are clearly a very perceptive reactor, and someone who pays close attention to the nuances in a performance and what original touches an artist brings to it. That goes perfectly with listening to Angelina because she has so much nuance and subtlety in her vocal artistry. Finally, I will leave you with my own (relatively short, believe it or not) list of recommendations that I have compiled in the last six months since first being introduced to her back in early January of this year. I have listened to her every day since, and I have yet to get the least bit tired of it. There's no other singer in my lifetime I can say that about. I think the two main reasons for that are (1) her incredible versatility as a singer and her sheer mastery of so many different genres and styles, and (2) most importantly, her tremendous emotional appeal as an artist, and indeed, as a person. Simply put, Angelina moves me more than any other singer I've ever heard in my lifetime, and it's not even close. So, here's my list of recommendations (in chronological, order). You can do with it what you like. You mentioned hearing perhaps one or two more performances before listening to Bohemian Rhapsody, so I will recommend What Is Life (an original composition from her), and/or Stay. I'm very much looking forward to your next reaction to Angelina, and if you decide to embark on this journey of discovery I can only say that untold riches lie before you!

[@billweekley4077]

The amazing rapid development can actually be seen on her four performances on Norway’s Got Talent. Even if you don’t react to them you should watch the progression from “Gloomy”Sunday to “Summertime” she went from great to extraordinary within two months. Her progression from seven to thirteen can not be comprehended. The ornaments she uses within her song choices are mind bending Her writing ability will soon become apparent when you get to her originals. I am so glad you have chosen to take this journey.

[@lizlessner2228]

Bill Weekley. I also noticesd the progression from”Gloomy Sunday” to “Summertime”. It confused my brain because I knew that it was a short time period yet her voice seemed different. There was no real answer so I just went on and put it aside. Of course, we know Angelina, “The Girl with 1000 Voices” and that helped put my question to rest..kind of..... Now hearing you say, that there WAS IN FACT, an actual “progression” gives me the solution to the question that I had about NGT. Actually her progression in general is phenomenol. Sometimes I listen to her at 10 and she sounds so much older than those years..same thing when she was 8 at times. Then you hear her sing “I put a Spell on You” and there still is a childish sound to her voice in different places. At about the same age she will deliver songs that you would guess a person that is at least in their 20’s or more is singing. Maybe it is Angelina just doing a lot of experimenting.... she is a wonder. I would just love to be in her head for a few days, it must be a magical place.

I loved all of the Norway Got Talent shows

[@teddytarp]

Always fun to see a reactor's mixture of disbelief and amazement. To use another English word "gobsmacked".

[@magnekolstad7457]

What a difference a day makes, Automn Leaves, Can't take my eyes off You, Million Years Ago are just a few among many many brilliant covers from Angelina. Her own songs, Oslo, What is Life, and Shield are fantastic! Oslo being my favorite 🙂 Great reaction🏆🏆

[@kimacronym2521]

This rendition is absolutely stunning - let's not forget that it is a live performance. What is obvious to me now is that she is not only an exceptional singer and artist, it is clear she is also highly intelligent. If I would want to go on a talent show in the future, I would ask myself what I have to offer that she doesn't.....unless it is for fun only.

[@garyswee9061]

Great reaction! Great performance for any singer; amazing performance for a 10 year old. Your insight and perception are appreciated. Glad you're on this journey. I'll stay with you to watch your continued amazement, joy, awe, smiles, and, sometimes, tears. Go back in time, zoom to the present-- it's all wonderful! Loving the past, waiting in breathless anticipation for the future.

[@lucar01inos16]

Bloody hell, indeed! She is surrounded by awe.

[@lorensop1540]

Woowwww! The talent!! This is one of my favorite songs, and she performed so well at that age. Mind Blown!!! 🤯🤯

[@fredlin6303]

I would love to hear Angelina sing this and other cover songs she made from year to year. The maturity of her voice, style and experience would be very interesting to follow.

[@billweekley4077]

It is all on KZbin from infancy at 18 months of age 4,6,7,8,9,10,11,12, & 13. Thanks to her Mother, Grandmother & Uncle. You can watch the progression.

[@grykarlsen5054]

Thank you for taking this yourney with us. Its going to be a road with tears and laughter, emotional and with goosebumps. 😊🥰 You are as I have said before a reallyreally amazing reactor so both AJ and Aurora are safe with you.😘

[@AdamStraughan]

Gry Karlsen Ahh thank you so much! 😊

[@cellevangiel5973]

There she is, a jong girl facing a thousands crowd, a blasting orchestra behind her, and she does her thing in confidence of her talent. No frils, no show, just she, a little figure and her voice and she fills the stage. She is setting a new standard.

[@sandyleewhite]

Every time I hear Angelina sing, I picture her stepping out of an old black & white movie, to transport us back in time, so we can fall in love with these genuine masterpieces again ❤️ 💚 💙 💜 Great reaction!!! A little backstory, for some of your subscribers who may not know......Angelina's Grandmother loved Blues & Jazz music, & they used to listen to it all the time, & Angelina was hooked, so her younger style tipped the scale closer to Jazz, and as she ages, she has developed many other styles of music, including her own, & now can sing almost anything!!! She also sews most of her outfits, does all her own musical arrangements, & goes barefoot, because she met a young girl when performing one day, who had no shoes & could not afford to buy any, so Angelina gave her the shoes she had on, & in memory of the girl, & poverty, she continues to goes barefoot! What can I say, except this young girl, is an inspiration, an amazing talent, has a huge compassionate heart, & the world is a much nicer place to be, with her in it !!!

[@dalemurray4083]

BTW She does her own arrangements. Dd you notice on the "I Put a Spell on You"video she handed the musicians her changes and her hand directions to the band? SHE is in charge, top to bottom, at age 10!! She's a complete prodigy, like a Mozart with a voice.

[@jamiemitchell8281]

Love Angelina Jordan, she is an amazing talent. You should also give a listen to Pentatonix, a five member a cappella group. Hallelujah is their most viewed video with about 500 million views. They also won their first Grammy with their Daft Punk Medley. BTW I really like your style of reacting, you give the artist a chance to prove themselves all the time.

[@joshmccloud6789]

She is a gift to the world

[@rvega60s]

Hello Adam , Performance "Summertime " when she was 8 on Norway Got Talent is a great one. and thank you for this reaction i have enjoyed watching and will continue your discovery of Angelina. i'll be looking forward.

[@garykelley8564]

How does a 10 year old girl singing like this especially with the vocal run at the end

[@jeffreyjameson5510]

I’m also a big fan of her performance in Sweden at the Swedish heroes gala. She was not feeling well having performed recently for the Nobel peace concert out in the cold weather. But she puts on an emotional performance of I’ll be There (Jackson 5 cover) that never fails to bring me to tears. It is slower and more somber than the original and in a minor key a half step down to achieve that effect

[@jeffreyjameson5510]

Here is a link to the performance in Sweden. 8 here I believe. That was a very busy year for her after winning NGT kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHusqKmNmdSCadE. Once again. 8 years old. Live audience of important VIPs and honorees including the PM of Sweden and wife. And she goes on stage with a bad cold and still commands the room. I cannot wrap my head around this little angel

[@ceciliaduplooy7847]

What a wonderful song and beautiful voice at that age, wow . Thank you 💞

[@karenleedom3354]

You're reactions have given me more insight into her performances, thank you

[@nanp544]

Awesome reaction to our Angelina!!!👍🏼🤗🎼

[@christinelim29]

Awesome reaction from you for Angelina Jordan. See you soon.

[@markhansen7998]

No surprise that Avicii chose her to sing this as part of his Volvo commercial project. Nico Cartosio composed an Instrumental CD and wanted to end it on an upbeat note...so...he adapted a Robert Burns poem into a "Song for A"...especially written for Angelina. It is the only vocal on the CD. Guaranteed to invoke time travel..

[@cuivre2004]

She has a definite and finely tuned "lilt" she puts behind her notes. That adds yet another dimension to her vocals.

[@artemisk6297]

Everybody that hears A Angelina for the first time, has a shock. She is really incredible. Thanks for this great reaction. And yes, effortless is her second name !!!!!

[@williamarmstrong9008]

Love ❤️ Angelina Jordan she’s number one on my top 10 list

[@Bustefaen]

Effortless, indeed! I think what you’ll find is that with Angelina Jordan, it is always about what the song needs to make you feel its emotional core as she interprets it, never about what she can do as a vocalist. Which is kind of her, as it keeps our heads from exploding. Great reaction and comments!

[@donaldcurry1722]

She is sensational. Angelina is a child prodigy.

[@timelston4260]

I agree with your take. Her brilliance comes through understatement. She's not trying to gin up emotion; she's letting the quality and integrity of her interpretation touch the listener. My favorite part of this performance is how she follows the camera as it pans around her in close-up, confidently giving us eye contact all the way through. Her humble confidence is as inspiring as her talent.

[@Sofia-Lala]

Her cover of California dreaming is a must. It's slowed down, with her usual guitar backing and sounds completely different than the original. The mamas and the papas liked her take on the song . (Sorry for clumsy English, I'm tired😴)

[@jsgallag49]

She has so many sounds, final on Norways got talent " Summer Time" 8 years old, live version of James Brown's "It's a Mans World" 11 years old, her own song, "What is Life" 12 years old and finally Bohemian Rapsody at 13

[@5siggi]

This was a brilliant reaction and I had to subscribe so I can hear more. You went into details that I didn't think about before. For instance how she ended the song, it built itself up, crescendo after crescendo after crescendo. Yes, I want to hear more! lol Thank you for your reaction and I'm looking forward to watching more!

[@zombie7857]

Looks like you are hooked now. There is SO MUCH Angelina out there in YT land. Your eyes will get wider, your jaw will drop further, your head will shake more. Already you are appreciating her key talents. It's down the Angelina rabbit hole for you. Enjoy the journey. It is really nice down here :-)

[@RocklandTheatreco]

Big adult performance - little girl curtsy. Amazing as usual

[@jerrylarocque9600]

Very cerebral reaction Adam. New subscriber anticipating future Angelina reactions.

[@olofjansson7911]

Great reaction to this fantastic girl. 😎🇸🇪👍

[@donaldcurry1722]

I think you will enjoy her version of It's a Man's World at the age of 12.

[@kevingood4644]

Donald Curry check the live version first but there is one live version that doesn't have live video where her vocal choices are mesmeric!

[@donaldcurry1722]

@@kevingood4644 I have enjoyed both versions.

[@MusicLover-uy7pc]

@@donaldcurry1722 I love the standing ovation she receives from the military band in the live version. I mean it is a military band, standing and clapping for her.

I agree, I am waiting to hear Adam reaction to that 1too...grate minds thinks alike 😁

Great reaction Thank you

I love this song, also her version. But more important, I love your reaction and analysis! I predict you will be a big big fan of this amazing young prodigy very soon
