The Queen of jazz paying tribute to the King of pop !!!

MJ was 24 years old when he wrote this angry POP song in 1982 about Billie Jean. As MJ's most successful single, it is frightening for me to read in the comments in over 100 reaction videos that many do not know the lyrics, do not grasp the topic. Everyone remembers the "beat" that "Hiiiii", "Ooo" and his dance moves didn't really listen to. In her jasszy cover Angelina ( here 15y ) tells the story about the Billie Jean from her point of view without changing the text. Only through Angelina's arrangement, interpretation and empathy do many people hear and understand the story about the sad story of BillieJean. 💯 *AJ* 💯

Angelina is 15 years old here. Mr, J, hello! I love this rendition for a thousand reasons, some in words, some not. It is one of my go-to listens. I'd love a new album of her covers, including this one. Yep, she killed it. Thanks, Mr. J. Grandma Ellen, out.

Angelina is incredibly versatile: with her unique and incomparable voice, she sings jazz, blues, soul, classics, all with equal beauty and perfection. In my opinion, she is simply one of the best singers of our time. It is amazing and a phenomenon!

I bought Michael’s album Thriller the year it got out. I listened to it so many times and hummed along with. Michaels version is angrier and makes you want to dance. Though I sort of knew what the song was about, it took this slowed down, jazzy version by Angelina to really hear the lyrics and the story. Who would have said thought that a cool jazz version of this epic upbeat dance song could work, but it works magnificently! Thanks for this reaction :-)

Surely among the most iconic songs of Michael Jackson and Angelina what does? he takes it and in addition to transforming it into a jazz ballad he tells it to you wonderfully and you understand exactly what he is talking about, great genius, here at the age of 15!!!15 years!! and I repeat 15 years!! I would like to know who at that age ever imagined creating something like this? Fantastic, thanks Mr. J Show, from Italy Massimo

It is perfectly understandable that you get like that - it's the Angelina effect ! One thing I have noticed is that you sometimes look rather morose at the start of a video, but you quickly perk up with her singing.... (hope you don't mind my saying that). She is remarkable: not just for being a very exceptional prodigy, but for then just going from strength to strength... This was was probably arranged when she was 15 and it has grown on me over a long time... genius !

I think may be it`s time for you to taste the originals of Angelina. To me they are turning into classics already. At 12 she released "What Is Life", "Oslo" (her town of birth in Norway) and "Shield". "Million Miles" was her first releas after signing with Republic Records as she was 14, and her latest original "7th Heaven" from 2 years ago as she was 15. My suggestion; - you will see her progression in the art of songwriting as you start with her first two, as she wrote them at 11 or even before. Two more songs was made by others for her to sing, so she`s carries the original vocals for "A Song For A" by the quite young neo-romantic classic composer, Nico Cartosio. And the other is an EDM song called "Above The Water" by norwegian duo TRXD. Angelina`s versatility clearly exposed even just in these two 🤩

It looks to me like she had to use some vocal tricks to reach certain tones in her younger years, most prominently in I put a Spell on you. It appears, those aren't neccessary for her anymore today, yes. If this were her vocal peak already, well we're be happy and in awe as it is. Yet vocal coaches tell us, she's still about a decade away from that point. A DECADE!
@bills5268 Жыл бұрын
Angelina pays respect to Michael Jackson the singer here, but she also pays respect to Michael Jackson, the dancer. We all know how great MJ was with his dance moves and the Moon Walk, but Angelina does NO MOVEMENTS here. She just sits there, her arm wrapped around her waist, and maybe a toe tap here and there. That, to me, is respect. And, once again, Angelina reinvents another classic, yet we still recognize the song as MJ's.

The video is physically static to contrast with Michael's frenetic physicality then she jazzed it up. A master class in how to avoid comparison with an origional considered untouchable. Dynamics are added with the colour.... changes. I know some people do not like that. I do.

It’s understandable that you had not heard of her before because she has been intentionally kept under the radar until she graduates high school. Her family wanted her to have as much of a normal childhood as possible and not be thrust into the industry too early. Too many sad stories of what happens to child stars.
@williamfors7692 Жыл бұрын
If MJ was still with us today, there's not doubt he would have put his stamp of approval on this rendition of Billie Jean, which most surely will become a classic in its own right as time goes on.
