Amazed again by Angelina Jordan - Suspicious minds

[@markkleckner3060]

Great reaction to The Queen of Emotion, God Bless!

[@pjg58x]

Nice reaction This song was a huge hit for Elvis and his last number one. You should listen to Elvis’ version to really appreciate Angelina’s interpretation and how it is very different than the uptempo Elvis version. Many feel that Angelina’s take on the song allows them to really feel the meaning. Angelina plays guitar and pisno. Thiis is the first time she has played an instrument in a music video however their are many Instagram and TikTok videos where she accompanies herself with piano or guitar The first two girls in the video are Angelina’s cousins. The third girl is her sister Juliette. Juliette has appeared in a few of Angelina’s videos including the music video for Million Miles playing Angelina as a little girl

Thoughtful reaction to her rendition that serves as a fitting tribute to one of her favorite singers.

Suspicious Minds was the last no.1 song Elvis did.

Rob Christie is Playing Piano, and he is AJ's A&R person with Republic Records/Universal Music Group. That dude playing the piano is Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California, and he has been working with AJ since she signed with the largest record company in the world at the age of 14, two years ago. Rob was the MC of AJ Christmas Show that aired Dec 23, of 21. AJ’s Christmas Show that live-streamed on Dec 23 of 21 had some of the most important musicians of our time: Frank Sinatra's drummer for 6 years, and sun in-law of the late Henry Mancini, Greg Field has won 9 Grammys, and the bass player, Chuck Berghofer who also played for Sinatra for 6 years, and toured with Barbara Streisand, accompanied AJ on her Christmas Show, and they stated that she had the "storytelling ability of the greats, Streisand, Fitzgerald, Vaughan, including Sinatra, to name a few. The main pianist, a five-time nominated for Grammys, Shelly Berg, stated in all his years working with the greatest vocalist, he had never encountered a talent like AJ. Did I forget to mention Jimmy Z, the famous Sax Player who worked with Rod Steward, Etta James, the Eurythmics, and Doctor Dre, was part of the band for the show? Jimmy stated that AJ was the best he has ever played for. Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California played the guitar, and was the MC of the show. (I can't list the complete backgrounds on all the band members because it would take several pages to do them justice.) Angelina stated that she would rather perform than take a breath, and she has never been forced to perform, it has been her decision. AJ now lives in West Hollywood in Los Angeles, where the record company Republic Records has built a separate music studio for her. She states; "I feel incredibly lucky to have been signed by one of the biggest record companies in the world. I have my own studio where I make my own music. There will also be a lot of concerts in the future because I have released an EP. I will soon go on a world tour and play my songs, (This was stated to TV2 in Norway on Aug. 21, 2023)

The Elvis version is so much different.

[@robertsilva631]

The baby and very little girl are Angelina's cousins - the preteen girl is Angelina's sister Juliette and the Piano Player is Rob Christie Director of the Republic Records Los Angeles Studio which is the record label that Angelina has been signed with since she was 14 years old.

[@pa1189j]

I really suggest you hear the Elvis original and see how wrong he got it. AJ’s is a work of art.

[@MICHAELASHER.]

Easy.

[@ClaudioMarcucci7756]

Beautiful reaction, thanks Jenn. From the very first words, the warmth, tone, passion and sweetness that Angelina manages to instill in this mythical song are truly incredible, you just wish the song was much longer. Her phrasing, backed by her wonderful use of breath and her peculiar jazz tone, always fascinates me and gives me chills every time, I love this absolutely amazing, so personal rewrite of this iconic song, with so many Elvis tribute details. Now it's a different song, but it's also the same, it still has that harmony, but somehow (in a way only Angelina can process) it's even more emotional, it's slower, but it's so close to your soul flow that kidnaps you. 💛🧡❤

[@keithserafy]

In order to realize how good this is, you really need to listen to Elvis' classic cover of this song. It was his last #1 hit, but somehow he changed this emotional song into an up-beat rock-n-roll song with no emotion. He gave it the "Vegas" treatment. It took Angelina's genius arrangement to interpret the true meaning & emotional content of this beautiful song. Nice reaction Jenn.

[@larrypifer1103]

Angelina Jordan is The Sound Of Music. Angelina Jordan is a remarkable vocal artist that possesses a rare talent: she has a photographic memory for sound. This means that she can recall and reproduce any sound she hears with perfect accuracy and pitch. She applies this skill to her musical performances, especially when she covers songs by other vocal artists. She does not merely imitate them, but rather uses their voices as inspiration and reference points for her own unique interpretations. She can capture the essence and emotion of any song, while adding her own flair and style to it. There is a difference between a good singer and a great singer. A good singer can capture the moment, but a great singer can transform the moment into ART. ART is not just a representation of reality, but an expression of vision. ART should always transcend the ordinary, and Angelina Jordan accomplishes this in every performance. © Larry D. Pifer

[@navrozelalkaka8457]

one of her classics, truly displaying her genius

[@kenscott8966]

You must go and hear the Elvis original to appreciate how much Angelina transformed this and created a new and very different experience. In general, you should always become familiar with the original (especially iconic ones like this) before reacting to a cover.

[@Melissa-z5v]

Angelina Jordan 17 years is simply a virtuoso singer, God gave her an unimaginable talent, she is a unique young singer and songwriter, vocally exceptional, she is already considered by many prestigious musicians and composers, winners of many Gramys, an example of some: Rob Christie, Nico Cartosio, Alan Walker , Jonathan Moffet, Gregg Field, Gene Simmons, David Foster, Norah Jones, Quincy Jones, Jimmy Z, Mark Ronson, Quenn, Diane Warren, etc. the best female vocalist of all time, México

[@christophersmith2793]

Absolutely phenomenal arrangement by our musical genius, the first two little girls in the video are Angelina’s cousins her uncle Mikes children, uncle Mike is also Angelina’s manager, the eldest girl is Angelina’s sister Juliette, production input from Angelina’s Grandma Mery Zamani who is a talented Iranian artist and poet, the pianist is Two time Grammy Award Winner Rob Christie the musical director of Republic Records, Angelina’s signing when she was 14 years old, Cover of a Cover as the original artist Mark James who wrote and recorded Suspicious Minds didn’t achieve with his original version, then Elvis Covered the song and it was a hit, Angelina is paying tribute to Elvis with her black outfit and her red guitar and Pricilla Presley hair style, great reaction thanks 🙏

[@larrypifer1103]

"Suspicious Minds" is a 1968 song written and first recorded by the American songwriter Mark James. After this recording failed commercially, it was recorded by Elvis Presley with the producer Chips Moman. Presley's version reached No.1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and it was his last hit record. Consider this; there are lots of performers that impersonate Elvis, and some can sound just like him. Have you ever experienced someone that sounds like Angelina Jordan, let me be the first to answer that question, the answer in no. That is because AJ is one of a kind, and on a level that supersedes all others. If you question what I have just stated just listen to the professional voice teachers after experiencing AJ. They all admit that they are speechless because they have never heard anyone like AJ. The children are AJ two little cousins, they are the daughters of her uncle Mike, he is her manager, and the oldest girl is her younger sister, Juliette. This is my 126th time experiencing this video, and each and every time it gets better. We must give credit to the support team behind this phenom. There is no one on earth that can match the talent of this STORYTELLER. AJ deconstructs a song then reconstruct it to make each individual hearing it feel it was written for them, a love letter to their comfort zone. Melrose Gallery is the same antique store in Hollywood that she used for My Funny Valentine AJ plays guitar, keyboard/piano, violin and flute. Don’t forget she writes music and was the youngest author in Norway to publish a book. No loud band, no light show, no dancers, just two instruments to accompany the MAGIC that Angelina Jordan brings like no one else can. At 7 she was killing us, at 16 she is taking us places we have never been. What a glorious production, praise to everyone involved, so perfect for Angelina Jordan she rules the universe with her talent. Again, the great talent of Rob Christie playing the piano. The Cinemaphotography, a total MASTERPIECE, Excellent ART Cole McCarthy! Great touch, the cousins and sister get a cameo. Mery, you should be so proud, AJ's grandma produced this. (This red guitar is identical to the one Elvis played in his 1968 concert on TV.) Oh, the tears, and loss of breath, she is like no other in the universe. Here is a classic example of what this ethereal talent, Angelina Jordan, can achieve she takes a mundane song and turns it in to phenomenal classic. Angelina at 16 is the MASTER of her universe, she is top priority for both Stargate, and AJ's voice has been unique since she was 7 years old and now at 16, she controls us as an audience, leaving us hang on every word and phrase. She has written a number of songs.

[@mikehaun5690]

❤❤❤❤

[@larrypifer1103]

My interpretation of the symbolism of this music video: First, and foremost; Angelina Jordan at 16 is the epitome of a Storytelling ARTIST, and she has the ability to take us by the hand and lead us down an imaginary path that we visualize as reality. The remarkable fact is that we experience this in each of her performances. In this video we see her as a married woman in her mid to late 20s. As the video starts out, we see dishes, and it is a symbol of a home. As AJ sings the phrase “Were caught in a trap, I can’t walk out” we see 3 small children, this to me is a marriage where the children come first. If it were AJ by herself, she would not stay in a relation without trust.

[@anitaherbert1037]

Every time you click on her songs you never know what you will find. Even her new brilliant EP OLD ENOUGH every track, except the first 2 are different genre mixes. If you like R&B you will prefer ALL MY FAULT, a little more soulful vintage jazzy sound you will prefer the retro sound from the brilliant NOW IM THE FOOL. I have a soft spot for GOOD IN GOODBYES, and DIAMOND with its one line of lyric rap. Her use of lyrics are advanced for her age making these not only a great bop but meaningful and emotional. Both feel empowering.

[@poolhallshark]

Great reaction and very nice to see you with Angelina again. It's somewhat unfortunate that you were not familiar with the "original" by Elvis (it is not Elvis' original), because then you would have realized just HOW drastically she changed it. I guess, or at least I hope, that you have listened to Elvis' version after you did this reaction, so that you know what I mean right now 🙂 Regardless, I really appreciate you for keeping reacting to her. IMO she is the best female singer in the world. Stay on track with her, and you may even come to the same conclusion 😉 Take care and get well soon! Much love from Norway, din granne mot väster ♥♥♥♥♥

[@JennThePandaa]

I actually listened to the original 2 days later😅

[@poolhallshark-qf1vs]

Nice! Not quite the same song, right ? She started and ended the song with the bridge and slowed it WAY down. True Angelina style 😉@@JennThePandaa

[@JennThePandaa]

@@poolhallshark-qf1vs yeah she changed it

[@larrypifer1103]

AJ plays the Keyboard/piano, flute, violin, and the guitar. Let's not forget about the most important instrument she has, her hypnotic voice that has a hold on all of us.

[@samuelmregister]

Nice reaction, Jenn- please do consider checking out the recent performance of "Unchained Melody". Cheers

[@hans-georgschroter7887]

Elvis version is also a beautiful Cover of the Original from Mark James. Angelina created her own amazing version with a great message for the whole world..we cannot live together with suspicious minds, spread better Love, the destiny of our Angel 😍😇

[@jollyo9276]

👣Angelina released this wonderfull video just days before she was going live in Norway last summer (2022) for the very first time since 2019, as the pandemic stoped her from live conserts for 3 years. Quite some teaser for us all on what to expect from her summer conserts. She did not disappoint us at all. She never does 💖😊 She gave us her live versions of this Elvis song, and "I have nothing" by Whitney Houston, among quite a few great covers, and even some great versions of her two then newest originals "Million Miles" and "7th Heaven" 👣 So thank you Jenn for another nice reaction. Hope you all get well soon 🤗

[@rogerramjet5214]

Angelina is paying tribute to Elvis in many ways here.....I love her version more than Elvis', but her hairstyle is reminiscent of Priscilla's hairstyle, the black leather outfit.....which he wears in his television comeback show, where he plays a red Hagstrom guitar, like the one she is playing.......perhaps even all the fancy furniture and lights could be something like the furniture in Graceland.....

[@frasergavin418]

This is the tempo of the original song then Elvis ramped it up a bit.hope you get better soon and baby.

[@tomwhite4736]

❤💥👍

[@MICHAELASHER.]

This, for me has incredible nuanced that the original lacks. Same impression with her version of Billie Jean...

*Why Angelina always performs barefoot* At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. PLEASE PURCHASE Angelina’s book from her merchandise store on her official website, angelinajordanofficial
