Angelina Jordan (16) - Killing Me Softly Live at Kurbadhagen - July 10th, 2022, Norway | Reaction

[@GrandmaEllen]

Older people have the time to promote her. That is part of it. In Norway, whole families follow her.

[@rogerandrus1806]

Someone posted that Angie has more parents, aunts & uncles, and grandparents than any teenager in the world! And we are all so proud of her

[@jeffreyyenior9757]

Older people tend to have more sophisticated taste. Angelina personifies sophistication. Her voice isn't T-bop Pop, it's fine wine.

[@pietersbart]

Reading this comment, I assume you fall in the category of older people? :-D

[@jeffreyyenior9757]

@@pietersbart I used to be younger for sure.

[@charlespeterson7502]

Perfectly stated

[@truthwarrior7934]

You NAILED it with that description.

[@stevecheung6033]

I agree but try not to be so overt for it could alienate the younger music lovers that AJ is trying to (may be) win over. I believe that the world would be a better place if more people enjoy her music.

[@Bjarmarsson]

Kur-bad = Cure-bath or Spa -Hagen = garden I was there right in front The best concert I have been to in my life the best 2 short hours I have ever spent but it went over too fast felt like just 10 minutes, there was an ocean of Angels there of any age.from over 40 countries this felt really as an Holy moment Thank You dear brother.for Your dedication to promote Our Singing Angel ~ OneLove 🕊

[@Hundhammer]

Thank you, that's what I wanted to explain - I'm German though and only knew Kur - Bad (as it's the same in German), but I didn't know Hagen was Garten (garden), it makes sense though, we have 'Hag' which is a fence or "Gehege" (a fenced area). So Angelina sung in a beautiful garden and people went there to undergo a cure, bathing in her voice... and you were there! I envy you...

[@marvinboswell6889]

You lucky person.

[@poolhallshark]

I have the exact same experience. The shortest, but undeniably BEST 2 hours of my life, at least musically speaking. Greetings from Norway 👍

[@geofthompson3844]

She sings the music we love, that's why we connect with her. She isn't a a pop star, she is a classic diva.

[@lesgray8709]

I was near Mattias (his video recording), closer to the stage by her Uncle Mike. It was indeed a magical evening that went by far too quickly. Yes Angelina's fan base has many senior citizens, but increasingly a wide range of ages groups now. Certainly at the concert, older people tended to have the financial resources to travel from distant countries - one from Australia, some from Canada and the USA, with many from European countries. The people there were all very friendly and accommodating, you see in the video someone making space for Angelina's mother to move to the front. We were all very emotional, her first concerts since the pandemic, tears were shed in the audience and on stage, the tears flowed down Angelina's face - what she called happy tears. There were 18 songs - next you should try Mount Everest, the opening song - something different and powerful to get everyone's attention. I must also give a shout out for the band - they were really good, I spoke to them after the concert - they were in awe of Angelina, they played for her back in 2018 - she has really grown up in every way since then, and of course - she ain't finished yet...

[@lengould9262]

I wish someone like (whats-his-name?) could do individual interviews of these band members.

[@christophersmith2793]

I’ve been recently attended Angelina’s live concerts in Norway 🇳🇴 and the ones posted on social media are not giving Angelina justification, actually being there has been a amazing, Angelina’s stage presence is phenomenal her live vocal amazing,her technical ability surpasses her years, she is so special, and Norway 🇳🇴 is such a beautiful country, Angelina Norways national treasure, thanks 🙏 great reaction!

I always say her voice caresses the soul. I want her to name an album “Caressing the soul” Or something to that affect. Great reaction. She is truly a gift from god. Just in time. We are living in a dangerous world. Angelina makes it bearable. That’s gods plan I love your reaction. You are always spot on !! Thanks

[@afrohuman2]

She’s been touring this Summer and slayed! Her older covers.. new again 💕 New music 💕💕

Yep, Roberta Flack version, and as usual, Angelina kills anything she sings. I am 70 years old and she is the best i have ever heard either male or female.

[@alanrogers1963]

A big shout out to the band, they are great. Not many reactions talk about them. Seen all the videos on KZbin of the concert, like everyone else wish I was there

---- At about 0:30 of the performance video, you can see a man with a short beard at the left side of the stage. That is Michael Astar who is Angelina's uncle, and business manager ---- At about 2:22 of the performance video you see a blond haired girl being held by a man in a blue cap and wearing sunglasses. That is Egil Clausen holding his daughter. Egil was Angelina's guitarist for her earlier cover songs😁 ---- At about 2:46 of the performance video you see a bland haired woman holding a boy wearing a white hat with a blue-striped band. That is Sara Astar, Angelina's mother, who was holding Egil's son ---- After Angelina finishes singing Killing Me Softly, at about 5:13 of the performance video when she was talking to the audience, you can see Angelina say "Oh my God! Hi!" and then wave at her mother and Egil's son when Angelina sees them. Egil's son is then seen waiving back to Angelina🥰 ---- You reacted to one of Mattias Axelsson's superior recording of the July 10, 2022 Kurbadhagen concert performances. He was on left side of stage to avoid extra noise from drummer and guitar player. Mattias used an Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max in 4K UHD quality. After, Mattias used DaVinci Resolve 18 beta for editing (in 4-5 videos increased sound when Angelina talked but left singing audio alone). Concert of 18 songs including much of between songs talking Angelina did with audience. In video for Fly Me To The Moon can see Egil Clausen in front holding his child (guitarist for Angelina's early cover videos). Can see Angelina's mother Sara Astar in front in some videos (also holding Egil's child). Angelina's uncle Michael Astar is seen in many videos doing stage security (Michael is her manager).

I only watch Harry Mack reactions but Angelina Jordan is amazing. I love it when she does Lana del Rey songs though the most

Angelina's voice is like a "running vibrato". Little runs syncrone to the vibrato(s). Done with this timbre... unique in her versatility and expression, already now.

At the end where she says OMG she is waving to Egil Claussen,who is holding his son in his arms.Egil was her amazing guitar player for her cover videos before she came permanently to US as a 12 yr old.Uncle Mike is standing guard front left and speaks to Egil at one point.

[@douglaspensack3499]

You know how you like to say "it's how she sang (insert word) that does it for me"? In this song, it's the way she sings "face" that does it for me! 😄

[@grahamechambers6642]

It is indeed Roberta Flack's version in terms of the full lyric - or to be more precise it is Lori Lieberman's original lyric, about her experience at a Don Mclean concert. Lori wrote and performed this song first, but was overshadowed almost immediately by Roberta Flack's much more famous cover. More recently the Fugees seem to have overshadowed Roberta Flack. Angelina's version is wonderful. I am pretty sure that I remember you reacting a couple of years ago to Jessie J singing this song, full version again, in a Chinese talent contest, which was exceptional. All of the versions that I have mentioned are superb, as is your reaction. .

[@thomshin2460]

Well, I am sure the world will take note of the angel Angelina Jordan, who in my mind is and perhaps ever was the best, to be honest with all the matchups this girl as endured and has bested, or has stood toe to toe with the original is mind blowing.

[@marvinboswell6889]

It true she has a older dedicated fanbase as I understand people flew there from all over the world to see her in this concert, and all have said it was wonderful. I love her singing this song . This is more like the original lyrics with a R&B beat .as always I enjoyed your reaction and take care and be well

[@9Ballr]

"She has the craziest tone that I've ever heard." I couldn't agree more. Angelina's tone is the richest, most amazing, beautiful, moving, unique tone I've ever heard in my life. Here are two other recent concert performances from her that I highly recommend: Mount Everest: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoq5qaGPZZt1jdk Love on the Brain: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXTTeHiogJ2XmM0

9Ballr, I think the July 1 concert "Love on the Brain" is even better....a bit longer and more expressive IMO. I sent a good link in another comment in this post.

Personal note for you, I am 82 and was diagnosed with diabetes in 1981. I was on insulin for many years but am on a pill now and my levels are in the low 100s. So keep up the good spirits, it is manageable.

[@stradardadus]

You should really check out her performence of labyrintyhs "Mount Everest". Its a 10 point cover!

[@lukeekul9361]

I’m 50. AJ ‘s fans are full of knowledge and wealth. Youngsters, follow your grandparents. I need more AJ music prescriptions.

[@anitaherbert1037]

I love your reactions. She will sing any great classic song, new or old. She recognises modern songs that will become classics. Any genre. She opened with Mount Everest by Labyrinth. In Kurbadagen. She has always sung across the genres. E.g. Rihannas Stay, Adele, Sam Smith. Not just jazz classics. So those claiming this is a new thing to become more commercial are wrong.

[@markkleckner3060]

Amazing reaction and she just brings new life to any song she covers, a true Musical Genius wuth the Chops, God Bless!

[@jandeane8793]

The Roberta Flack version as you put it, is the original. Roberta wrote the song and recorded it and I have the original vinyl album it is on, along with The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. You should have a listen to Roberta’s album with Donny Hathaway. It is also sensational and they were all recorded in the 1970’s! By the way I love your reviews - you are an inspiring and encouraging human being! Keep up the fabulous work! 💕

[@fande...Angelina]

old guys, yes, but in front of Angelina, we are sometimes teenagers again ! I was there and fortunately, I saw also young people, but jazz is not a standard for the youth, I think Angelina and Republic records know that, and new songs will be in this direction !

[@AbbieCrescendo]

I enjoyed your reaction to Angelina. She is an exceptional story teller with a voice of different colors.

[@averagejoette1570]

It's amazing how great she sound live... Blows my mind 🤯. I just wish the sound guy puts her mic up. They sometimes let the instruments overpower her beautiful voice.

[@brentravnsborg2782]

great reaction. angelina was back in norway starting in june with an appearance at allsang pa grensen where she first performed 8 years ago shortly after winning norske talenter. then she had 3 more full concerts on the first seventh and tenth of july. you could tell that she was so happy to be back home for the first time in 3 years . she actually broke into tears more than once thanking everyone for coming out to see her at her 3 different concerts. you have a whole lot of new stuff to react to now lol . enjoy .

[@jeffstumpf9129]

Angelina is Jazz personified (including the related genres of R&B, Blues, and Soul). Most young people aren’t aware of the vast array of Jazz music. Young folks need to appreciate the great Jazz singers of the past: Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, et al. If you want to figure out where Angelina comes from you gotta listen to them. That’s what us seniors know, and we want to share it with the kids.

[@royperkins9176]

Fantastic reaction and analysis. Not sure if my mind can handle her getting better than she is now but will just have to risk it. Don’t get discouraged when your diabetes occasionally gets out of control, it is a constant battle but you can handle it. Thanks for the reaction

[@mikaeljohansson7848]

Straight after she got home from Norway she did publish a cover of one of her most famous covers. Whitney Hustons "I have nothing". So amazing to see the groth in her voice in only 4 years. I hope you soon react to that one really soon

This is indeed the Roberta Flack version, the gold standard.

Great Stuff!

[@mikehaun5690]

Arter 8 years of following Angelina I can finally say I have one favorite song. "Love on the Brain" from the July 1 concert at Kurbadhagen. Her vocals are always great but in that July 1 performance she extended it longer and to my eye seemed to be much more expressive with her hand and body movements...facial expressions as well. Here's a video link pasted by Elin Men: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXTTeHiogJ2XmM0

[@mikehaun5690]

At around 4:40 you can see a blond lady and then a guy with a blue cap walk in front of the camera....both carrying young children. That is Sara, Angelina's mom and Egil Claussen, her guitarist from 8-12 y. o. in Norway. The kids are Egil's. In some other songs from this concert Sara is in the front, swaying and dancing to the music ("Valerie" is one for sure).

[@josephstimpfl4594]

If you look closely you can see Angelina's mother Sarah holding the child in the white hat.

[@peterhormell1511]

Great reaction Dex! I love your observations about the Audience. Here’s an COOL interesting thing to look for in this video… at 5:54 you can see Egil Clausen in the right foreground, holding his blond haired daughter. EGIL is Angelina’s Norwegian guitarist that you’ve seen on many of her early covers. He’s the guy with the blue baseball cap! 🇳🇴 Not only THAT… in front of Egil and his daughter is his other daughter wearing a straw short-brimmed Panama hat. And GET THIS… this other daughter of Egil’s is being held up by none other than…. Angelina’s Mother SARA! Can you imaging that?… going to an Angelina Jordan concert and watching it next to the Star’s Mom and former guitarist. According to Angelina (during her online Christmas concert) she said that she hopes to be able to sing again with Egil accompanying her. ❤️❤️❤️

[@ooshta]

Nice reaction to Angie. Angie's Roberta's & LH's are my top versions of this song. But I love how Angie seem to combine RF & LH together & add her flare to it. To really make it her own. Angie even opened her 7-7-22 concert with a new cover called “Mount Everest” I felt it was better then the original by Labrinth. Her 3 concerts are 7-1-22 in Kurbadhagen, 7-7-22 at Kongsberg & 7-10-22 again at Kurbadhagen. Angie had a lot of fun & so did the fans. (Mattias Axelsson, Vidar Enerud, Kathrine Angeltveit & Trond Andersen are good channels to start with. They have some good recordings & video's). [I can't find Angie's playlist on your channel]

[@lesgray8709]

Oh, I forgot to say Nick - look after yourself, hope your good health returns very soon!

[@rw716]

Nice reaction! Yeah, she did a few concerts in her homeland of Norway. The people that were there have said she sounded even better in person than hearing her on KZbin. Man, I'm so jealous! The next song you should do from her concerts is definitely Mount Everest by Labrinth. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoq5qaGPZZt1jdk She opened each of her concerts with this song and it shocked and surprised the crowds. By the way, you are right about her base, probably because many of the songs she covered were from the past. However, I am definitely seeing more younger fans and reactors checking her music out and are very impressed by her. Many of them have said Angelina covering older songs has made them want to check out the original artists, thus giving them more views as well. In her own way, she's keeping the classics alive and helping creating more fans for the original artists.

[@TheFinnola]

Very early and young Amy Winehouse on Jules After dark - had the same cool jazz vibe. Extraordinary. But also I hear too much Amy phrasing and music arrangements. Fast forward to a few years and hopefully she has found a stronger individual sound. She has older audience because they connect her with their own memory of Amy sound. Sorry but I’m not a fan yet.

[@rogerevansen2882]

[@rogerevansen2882]

@@petttybettty I get that, I've actually watched quite a few of his reactions over time, and he's just gotten worse with talking over the video, or singing along. He's got a nice voice, and I'm pretty sure he has his own music out there if we wanted to hear it. If he has some point to make, cool. Pause the video, and give us some commentary, since that's what he's doing, besides the fact that virtually all videos now you have to pause for avoiding copyright claims, etc. He's also been asked REPEATEDLY, and very politely by numerous commenters to include a link to the artist's channels to help promote them as well and he seems to simply refuse to. It just feels that as his channel has grown, his ego has, too, so he insinuates himself into the videos more and more.
