ANGELINA JORDAN - BAD VALENTINE - LIVE HOTEL CAFE | REACTION

[@Nevelepride]

Absolutely so stunning! Her song with that jazzy bluesy take on it. This is her wheelhouse for sure! Goosebumps! 👌🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@larrypifer1103]

A summer breeze, or typhoon, AJ performances have the gravity of Jupiter. Angelina Jordan's musical prowess is evident in her dynamic range of performances. Her collaboration with Toby Gad on the song "Bad Valentine" showcases her ability to deliver powerful vocals that resonate with her audience. Meanwhile, her restrained performance at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony highlights her versatility and sensitivity to the context of the event. Jordan's ability to convey deep emotion through her music, whether it's the raw energy of "Bad Valentine" or the poignant subtlety of "Unchained Melody" performed at the Nobel tribute, allows listeners to experience a profound connection to her artistry. Her performances are not just about vocal talent but are a testament to her understanding of the power of music as a universal language of human expression.

[@victorvinas6497]

Angelina in her SUPERNOVA mode. I agree this has the potential to blow up, if properly promoted.

[@ridgemanron]

This is pure Billie Holiday style jazz, infused with the 'sass' that Amy Winehouse was known for. Angelina brings it all together with her own improvisational vocal style and power that is simply leaps and bounds over anything even Billie or Amy ever did.

[@PhilipKnopp]

Yes to "leaps and bounds"! Angelina has the musical intelligence and vocal skills to carry her beyond both Billie and Amy!

[@TheBlaster54]

This raw performance put the rest of the industry on notice. They better get what they can, now, because Angelina’s brilliant, once-in-a-millennia talent is about to hit the industry like a Super Nova. Angelina is going to dominate the charts. All others are fighting for second place.

[@fredneecher1746]

Even though you know she's going to surprise you, she still surprises you. Her voice is like a well-tuned Delorean cruising comfortably in mid-range, with plenty more power under the bonnet. I see bright things for our little Barefoot Princess.

[@johnbrown3119]

I especially enjoy watching reactions to "Bad Valentine" by reactors, like you, who have followed the whole journey of Angelina from 7 to 18! Thanks!!

[@andyschnell58]

Jesse, I agree that "Bad Valentine" may the song to reach high on the charts, once it is officially released. Angelina has hinted, September for when new songs are coming. We were saddened to learn Angelina's great grandmother (Mery's mother) passed away.

[@aryachow]

Angelina unleashed her POWER on this one. Everyone seems to agree that this might be the one that is going to launch Angelina in 2024.❤❤❤❤👣

[@apachespook71]

Yes, You’re getting it the same way I do… Angelinas so gifted I hope to see her in Concert !!

[@josephstimpfl4594]

Time for a new term to indicate the unique characteristics of Angelina's voice. Fribrato. How she combines vocal fry and vibrato.

[@ryanjacob3338]

She's like a biological mixing board. Cyborg. Or at least superhuman. Breathiness too. In every register, key, technique. She can add whatever she wants. She can even do breathy fry vibrato🤷‍♂️. Zero people can do that with a great voice and musicality. Well one.

[@ClandOp]

Love it!!

[@boscobeans]

I feel like I am in some $5 dollar cover charge jazz joint in the 40's waiting for Cab Calloway to come out next, singing "Saint James Infirmary" while I order another cocktail. I get transported from decade to decade with her voice. No words can really explain how she does what she does. Great reaction.❤❤❤❤

[@Owen_S.]

Save me a seat!!!

[@antoniomaurogiovanni1276]

Bravo amico l' hai descritto meglio di Hemingway....dico Hemingway.

[@MichaelAmis-te2md]

Angelina opens with sass, reminds me of Diamond, Lovin You, and It’s A Man’s World! She just showcased the audience her vocal abilities effortlessly! The best story teller of this generation period! 🇳🇴🇺🇸 Angelina stated in a recent interview in Norway that new material will be coming out in September and more concerts are upcoming! She also performed at a private event in Spain after her London performances!

[@billeaton9562]

Don't forget "Mt Everest" :)

[@pjg58x]

Yes on her Patreon recently she asked fans to suggest locations and venues for concerts. There were suggestions from all over the world. No indication on when these concerts may take place. I’m assuming at this point in her career they would need to be smaller size venues. Being from the LA area I suggested the Wiltern Theater. Even if in the future her popularity would allow her to fill stadiums, her vocal style is not meant for venues like that.

[@CarlD70]

Thanks Jesse, love the comments and agree completely. This collaboration with Toby Gad will hopefully reap great rewards...Toby, as a multi Grammy winner certainly has some clout in the music industry, hope he puts his weight behind their new music and especially this song. We all owe a big thanks to James Theil for his perseverance in getting Toby and Angelina to approve this early release video using the superb audio and video from this show. Good to see you, stay well. 🥰🥰

[@Joseph-i1t]

I know there’s so much of us wishing, hoping and praying for her. She has opened a vast number of younger people to what they can’t put words to. They just know they need more of what they can’t explain. I know the older Angels are just fluttering inside with desire and anxiety. For many of us it’s her time to change the music world.

[@TroyArchAngel]

I'm with you there Jesse, this could/should be the one that takes off her worldwide popularity to a much higher level.

[@kentovewagenes1141]

The song is 🔥🔥 The voice is 🔥 🔥 The strings are beautiful ❤ I would not hold it against someone to swear during this performance ❤😂

[@claudest-gelais8456]

🤣🤣🤣 Good one Kent!!!

[@monaboutet6863]

Love your reaction! She's simply sublime ❤❤

[@Viseur]

I am sure that Angelina Jordan also wrote the lyrics for this song; on the one hand because they correspond exactly to her style, on the other hand because it is Toby's way of working during his writing/composing sessions to bring out the lyrics step by step from the artists through questions and suggestions, like Socrates bringing out the ideas from the heads of his interlocutors. It's also amazing how much this song mirrors Angelina's previous song "Now I'm the fool". As if it were one and the same story, only told from the point of view of both parties involved. "You're a fool to try..." - "Now I'm the fool". This thought not only influences the new song, but also sheds a different light on the earlier song. Angelina Jordan is such a fantastic songwriter, it's incredible.

[@eTraxx]

Remember watching Angelina cover songs .. great songs .. songs that are heavily weighted with one or two singers .. classics. I think .. we saw the birth of another such song.

[@SteveAckerman-ly3qg]

Agree Jesse - this feels like it's going to be her breakthrough single. It's SOOOO good. I can see her singing this on Saturday Night Live sometime in the next year. I'm going to pencil in Feb. 9, 2025, just before Valentine's Day 🙂. And a week after the Grammy awards 🤔

[@mikehaun5690]

Excellent foresight, Steve. I have been imagining her making the rounds on late night shows right after the official release. Hitting it again on a widely viewed show near Valentine's Day would be perfect.

[@geoffreynorth9046]

I wish Jools Holland would have Angelina on his very long running BBC Two show "Later"...

[@geoffreynorth9046]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Later..._with_Jools_Holland

[@kengehl7337]

You’re a wise man Mr Ackerman …

[@ClandOp]

Pure R&B, right in AJ's wheelhouse -- just a stunning performance of an amazing composition. Jesse, I've been waiting for your response to this original. Her collaboration with Toby is gonna send her on the way. Nobody sings with the kind of old school fry and vibrato that AJ brings to this kind of music.

[@ronraskind]

Hey Jesse, I hope all is well with you, and thanks for the great comments. Not much I can say except that I agree with everything you said in your review! Toby has written Grammy award-winning songs for such artists as Beyoncé, John Legend, Kelly Clarkson, Fergie, Demi Lovato, and many others. He has taken Angelina under his wing and this is their first original song to be released together. There are others in the works. No question that this song is created to display all of the best of Angelina's capabilities. It is likely that Toby co-wrote the song, but Angelina exudes grit and passion that is written on her face, and expressed in her vocals. It is she who brings this masterpiece to life! There is no question that this is the opportunity that Angelina has long anticipated. When Bad Valentine is officially released, it will surely launch her career to the next level! Peace.

[@mariuskraft3155]

«Hold my shoes!» moment here. This is her statement. Things to do, orbits to reach. No time for Valentine. Angelina is slingshotting the Masters of music History.

[@OleOlson121]

I agree with all you said Jessie. Beautiful 😊♥👣 🔥🔥🔥♥👣

[@boz352]

The instrumentation was just beautiful...love those strings. There are so many supers to this pre-release. A jazzy song and production that was meant for Angelina. Her voice, as usual, just amazing, finally letting 'er rip. Her belting here was otherworldly! Bodes well for the year, for her fans, for anyone who loves good music.​ The excitement continues to build. Great review/reaction!

[@emk4a7]

Gänsehaut Gänsehaut Gänsehaut pur 💖💖💖💖💖 immer wieder 💞💞💞💞💞

[@DawnRoper-m3u]

😮 beautiful!!

[@Beldvlmnt]

100% agree!

[@mikec2420]

I’ve been waiting on you to get to Bad Valentine!!! Always happy when you drop a new Angelina reaction of any age or era, but you’re right, this one is special. And now randomly, does anybody else see this as the flip side of Now I’m the Fool? Same story but from the other side’s point of view?

[@joyceuglow1767]

[@Bob_A8993]

Great reaction, Jesse! 👍

[@antoniomaurogiovanni1276]

Un lampo,un tuono: Angelina sopraggiunge ed è pioggia vivificante di note morbide potenti graffianti,vibrato che solletica la schiena,intonazione che magari l'avesse Sinatra....

[@jeffthebeeguy]

I knew you wouldn't get past the first line on this one without stopping.

[@Owen_S.]

Thanks Jesse. Pretty much expected you'd love this one, but it's always best to know for sure! Yes, we too are all hoping that this'll be the tune to gain Angelina a significant amount of new attention, younger fans, etc. It's so hard to forecast such things, though; we've certainly all been wrong before with past releases. Angelina has the voice, talent, dedication (and everything else) and has put in the work. At some point, she'll release the right song at the right time and then folks who've never heard of Angelina will finally realize what they've unknowingly been missing. Cheers, man. 👼

[@pjg58x]

As I’ve said before, it’s not just whether or not it’s the right song, it’s also whether or not she is promoted, which she hasn’t even yet. She is still relatively unknown. If they really wanted to push Old Enough I’m thinking they would have tried to get her on the talk shows and actually perform some songs so she could be introduced to new potential fans. Maybe she felt she wasn’t ready yet. Even in her recent talk show appearance in Norway it was just an interview, no performance.

[@Owen_S.]

@@pjg58x No argument that promotion, morning/late night talk show appearances, etc., will be important to provide a snowball effect re: popularity, increased streaming, bigger performance venues and the like. I just fold that into "right song, right time," that's all. I have to think that when Angelina and her team/collaborators feel like she's as ready as she can be for a media blitz and what tends to follow from it (i.e., right time) and they have the song that they're as sure as they can be will appeal to their target audience, then the push will be made (if it's ever going to come). Just remaining patient and hopeful here..

[@jasgem76]

When you put 2 musical geniuses in a room together and tell them to write, this is what you get. Toby Gad and Angelina Jordan is a match made in musical heaven and I can't wait to see where this goes.

[@larrypifer1103]

Why is it perfectly normal for human beings to COMPARE. When we compare Angelina Jordan to other singers we are asking the question: do other performers make us feel a song like Angelina Jordan does, and for me in my 77th orbit around the sun, no one on earth can compare with AJ. Humans have a natural tendency to compare things as a way to make sense of the world around them. It's a cognitive process that helps us understand and navigate our environment by evaluating similarities and differences. For instance, we might compare two fruits to decide which one is sweeter, or two job offers to determine which is more beneficial. This ability to compare is crucial for decision-making and problem-solving.

[@charlespeterson7502]

Amazing performance from Angelina.

[@Pyanfar]

❤️❤️❤️❤️👣 Hopefully, this collaboration with Toby will enable Angelina to break out to a wider audience.

[@MarkHughson]

Great reaction as always. This is a great follow up to If I Were A Boy (Piano Diaries) with Toby Gad. If these are examples of the music they are going to produce together then we are in for a real treat in September.

[@kengehl7337]

Thanks Jesse - she crushes this one - that is a different level of AJ-ness!! I’m really looking forward to hearing what their studio version sounds like but it’s gonna be hard to beat witnessing this live on the stream that night as her and Toby performed it live for the first time…🔥🔥🔥

[@stevecheung6033]

New music coming. I am excited. I hope her concert will come within 2000 km of where I am. On second thought, she will be well known soon. I better hurry and increase the radius to 40000 km.

[@thomaslarsonyt4429]

Jesse, I believe you are 100% correct, I think this is Angelina's breakthrough song. Nobody can go toe to toe with Angelina in this Genre, Pop Jazz? This is just pure 🔥 🔥! Grammy coming...

[@blackbird8516]

She absolutely hit this one out of the park. Angelina seems to be teaming up with the right crowd in her musical journey. You can see the direction....now the really hard yards...the gigs the songs the releases the concerts....and the chemistry to bring it all together....i find that daunting for any performer. But if anyone can achieve it i believe that Angelina Jordan has to be heading for that center court. I know as long term fans we all wish her well and are excited about her next step in what has already turned out to be an amazing journey.

[@mldkenny]

This is just incredible. Such an unparalleled talent! Great reaction.

👍👍👍 Very nice reaction,,, and you did a really good job James, with what you have done with this,,, I just can't imagine what the final recording is going to sound like???💣🤯🤯💣 👣🌬🌎

[@pjg58x]

Now i wonder what the official studio version will sound like. The fact that this live performance has been allowed to be posted and reacted to, many of us have now listened to this multiple times. Will the studio performance match this live performance? Will her vocals be on par or even surpass this performance? What will the instrumentation sound like? I’m assuming the studio recording may already be complete. It may had even been recorded prior to this live performance. This live version is making the official version highly anticipated, at least by fans. Maybe the studio version will blow us away even more

[@cm0355]

Jesse, interesting you said this could be her “Rolling in the Deep”… the venue they were in, Hotel Cafe, is said to be the place where Adel was “discovered.” With her unbelievable talent, and Toby Gabb’s collaboration, this will be the year she breaks out!

[@antoniomaurogiovanni1276]

Rivedendo il video sono giunto alla conclusione che la tua espressione facciale ha certificato che Angelina è la più grande cantante di questo secolo.

[@Daisysmum]

Hi, love your videos☺️ she has made so many versions of songs and styles, but this is what i have always felt is closest to her ❤️ and its the best i have ever heard🥰🥰🥰

[@ryanjacob3338]

I think so man. A backwards healthy take on the tougher parts of love interests. For both sides even. Rather universal and interpretable, relatable. On point, needed. Absolutely riveting. Yeah this has a real shot for sure. I loved her EP, but it was more something she could change the game with, influential, if she was already as respected and anticipated as she ought to be. This is potentially much more alluring to help get to that point. I had a moment myself man. Angelina Jordan has arrived to me. Getting through the teenage and world facing stuff, comfy and confident, a stone cold killer like when she was younger and didn't know any better. Just twenty times better. There will be more nights like this as we go, she's gonna mess us up man. 😍🤩.

[@billyvelasquez3884]

Her originals compared to most of main stream medias pathetic music is far superior...master class in composition delivery and stage presence....no one like her..

[@JEY895]

hey Jess, Thank you, thank you, thank you, I've been waiting for days to hear you react to this and I was not disappointed. Yes, I agree, this might be the one to send her to the promised land. Great reaction. I've been waiting for your reaction to " Princess of ruins "; hope you do that soon 😇

[@osowallman5743]

Wait til this gets produced , full band, radio ready. I hope toby isthe one who knows how to write for such a voice

[@romainjordan105]

Angel.ina😇🙏🔥

[@pjg58x]

Real hit and breakout potential for this song but no matter how great it is it will still come down to if and how it’s promoted. Even then, with over 100,000 songs released everyday the majority are probably never heard except by the artist’s fan base. There are probably many great songs that will never see the light of day. The industry is so competitive now and unfortunately who makes it and who doesn’t isn’t always necessarily based on who is the most talented. I think we all feel that her originals that she released last year were all worthy of being hits but there was little to no promotion. We’ll have to see if she and her team feel the time is right to really begin to market her. If I Were A Boy was a Tobie Gad project with Angelina as a guest vocalist. Although she worked on this song with Toby I’m assuming it will be released under Republic as she is still their artist. She worked with several different producers on Old Enough so I assume Toby would be the producer on the studio version of this song.

[@ItsMe-cz1pi]

I never apologized for requesting her singing "love is a game" during your livestream when your friend went to the bathroom what seems like a lifetime ago...(and I won't) Thank you for staying with her

[@Beldvlmnt]

Hey thank you!!! It’s been a wild journey with AJ and the angels!!

[@lutobravodaniel2189]

PAZZESCA!!!!!!!!!!!!!Assolutamente!!!!!

[@FlameCold258]

Amy was good as we all know, but Angelina is a far more versatile vocalist who can sing the genres she wants, With all due respect, her vocals are stronger and some level up compared to Amy. Anyone who knows music knows this. It's just not correct to mention! So we should probably start saying that Amy had a bit of an Angelina sound, don't you agree?

[@nickmcconnell1291]

Interesting that this is the same stage that Adele was discovered on.

[@loufur4502]

Thankgod for her old roots song because she was doing mainstream and image based stuff which was disconnecting to her true core style. Eas missing her style but looks like we might be back!!!

[@kerrythomas6220]

Jordan just posted on her Official KZbin channel the Acapella version of If I Were a Boy. It’s just her raw voice, the piano, cello and the church acoustics before any studio production. It’s fantastic! I guess they used this vocal track for the recording, what do you think?

[@kerrythomas6220]

I just watched it again and don’t think they did. The hand movements are different but they definitely recorded it live in the church and then added the violins and changed the cellist (according to Toby) in post studio production. The difference between the vocals in the a Capella and studio versions is negligible, except for the echo in the church!

This is the same stage where Adele was "discovered."

Hi Jesse, there was a new live version of them both doing If I Were A Boy in a tiny venue dropped on the Sofar Sounds channel just yesterday, with excellent audio quality. For many angels it is their new prefered performance of the song. I'd love to hear your take on how it was done technically.

Thankyou for reacting to Stan. Love Stan. He’s a beautiful human. He is a Maori (pronounced mow as in how- ree.) and though born in Australia his family is indigenous to New Zealand and Stan is very proud of his heritage. You might like to react to his original song NEW LIGHT that he wrote for the victims of the Christchurch Mosque bombing. He held a concert and donated the proceeds to them. After the concert he went to the mosque and spent the night with the Muslim community. That’s Stan. He tries to unite people. His latest song I AM was written for the movie ORIGIN. There is a live version but watch the original because Stan filmed it in his own backyard meaning the land he comes from. There is so much I can say about Stan. He has been to hell and back. We love our Stan.

I always liked your reactions. My favorite female artist is Angelina Jordan. I noticed you don't reactions to Dimash anymore. Any reason why?

[@glengalli1288]

How can u stop her in the middle of a run ❤

[@davidcochran6291]

So, this joining with Toby Gad is going to open a lot of doors. Angelina has been the beneficiary of quite a few breaks, not that she doesn't deserve or shouldn't deserve them still she has had endorsements from many names in the business. Toby is just the latest. Then she has Republic Records supposedly giving her preferential treatment, but I am having a hard time seeing any evidence of them putting her in places to develop. Also, he relationship with Heidi Klum has given her several opportunities to get her name and talent out there.

Jesse, I love ya man but don't you think it's time to give up the Amy Winehoue thing.! She's Angelina doing her thing.!😊

[@mysc0tt1e]

Wait. What? She has on SHOES?

[@mghJD]

Yo Jesse! Those are Jordan’s (as in Michael) on her feet, I’m surprised she’s not barefooted

[@PhilipKnopp]

As for being barefooted, there are venue specific restrictions at play...don't doubt Angelina's livelong commitment to children.

[@kevingood4644]

Trust her..there’ll be a reason…

Where she can , she does .It's not the first she hasn't been barefoot .

Mi rivolgo ai professionisti delle reazioni,uomini probi e positivi.Ebbene è mai possibile che vi sperticate in elogi e peana per Angelina e non riuscite a portarla in auge,dove lei merita: radio, televisione, mondovisione....Ne va' della vostra credibilità e della vostra professionalità.Oppure a voi sta' bene così.......

The song is good but you cant understand her half the time which is strange

You have NO friggin clue about the time to interrupt, or go back to re hear a verse or a note. NEVER again.

[@jeffjeff-j6t]

I dont like the verse roses are red violets are blue ? Its too cheezy . I would expect better writing from a great writer as everybody says Toby is ? Im not Impressed at all, Angelina's singing is good no matter what song, But she has her limits too far as making a work of art out of a piece of shit ? good reaction I disagree with yo though.

[@Beldvlmnt]

Love how folks lately feel their own opinion is the gospel. Thanks for watching disagreeing or not

[@kerrythomas6220]

Have any idea what this song is about and who’s the bad Valentine?

[@mikaeln]

It's probably meant to be a little cheezy. "Roses are red violets are blue, You are a fool to try" I interpret it as the expression being used ironically.

Per scrivere così,due sono le spiegazioni :o sei un genio fuori della portata di chiunque sulla terra,o non hai capito una mazza della canzone e ancora peggio ,non hai capito niente di Angelina.Ma si può scrivere strafalcioni del genere? Meriteresti una solenne pernacchia.Ma tu non ne conosci il significato.
