9.5??? Are you kidding me? Given the circumstance: THE Nobel Peace Prize ceremony, honoring an Iranian lady who is held in jail for advocating for women’s rights in Iran, with Angelina’s Grand Mother being Iranian, the lady’s two kids sitting right there on stage with Angelia…. This performance was full of stress! And Angelina was PERFECT!!! She wasn’t trying to show off her singing ability, she was singing to the lady’s kids, singing a prayer of hope, singing to the world! Absolutely perfect! I’ve heard this dozens of times, and each time it brings me to tears! This rates a 20/10!!!!

[@rogeriopinheiropassos5622]

I agree with everything! Not to mention the extreme difficulty of the entire technique that Angelina used to achieve all this emotional weight.

Imagine singing " I'll be coming home, wait for me", to her kids.

[@BethBArtz]

This was a tender, restrained version, befitting the occasion. The recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize winner is a woman who is imprisoned and on a hunger strike, defending women's rights in Iran. Her 17 year old twins were there in her stead, and to me, it felt like Angelina's voice was a channel to connect them in their love and reassure them. Great reaction guys. I loved it.

[@tmsvanes]

Exactly!!

[@ronjones1077]

Sorry guys. If this isn’t a 12 you are both asleep at the switch. 17 years old with the single most hart felt rendition of this classic song ever sung. I’ve watched close to 100 reactions to this video and got the wet eyes o every one. You’ve both missed the boat on this one

[@franokeefe2516]

As many have pointed out, Angelina obviously picked this song because of the origin and meaning of the song and the similarity to the occasion. But more than that she amazingly adjusted the pace and tone of this performance to perfectly fit the occasion. The version of this song she performed in the NH concert last summer was very different, and to many, was the best song of the night and the best live performance of any Song she had ever done. The only reason to change that version was to make this performance match the occasion. The fact that a 17 year old was that thoughtful, empathetic, compassionate and talented enough to do what she did is astonishing. This performance is in my top 5 of her entire catalog!

[@AJfanboy1]

This version, for this occasion, honoring Narges Mohammadi from Iran for her fight against the oppression of women in Iran and her fight to promote human rights and freedom for all, is more subdued due to Narges being imprisoned in Iran and her children waiting for her. With Angelina's Grandma Mery being from Iran, this had even more meaning for Angelina and her family as well.

[@paulwagner9303]

PS You are not the only reactors waiting for her to explode throughout the entire piece 😉. Which is understandable if you think this is just another Angelina cover and knowing her skills. But this is an excerpt from the tribute TV broadcast on NRK1 (Norway's nationl TV station) in honor of this year's NPP laureate, consisting mainly of interviews with her relatives and supplemented by five pieces of music - one of them by Angelina Jordan.

[@primordialsimilarity6262]

With that full Orchestra Backing Angelina up, this Rendition was better than the Righteous brothers, in my opinion

[@wajj1842]

I agree. But I've heard several versions that I like better than Bobby's. His voice is bright, thin, and somewhat piercing. Many associate it with the very emotional scene from "Ghost". I believe Angelina's warm, dark, raspy voice is much better suited to the lyrics of this iconic song. She includes more runs then I prefer, but her performance is still Wonderful. People refer to Bobby's version as the Righteous Brothers, but it was just Bobby Hatfield; Bill Medley was not included anyway. I understand they flipped a coin to see who would perform this song. I would love to hear Bill's version, because he has that deep, dark, warm, baritone voice that would be so well-suited for these lyrics. Until then, I prefer this performance by Angelina more than any live version I have ever heard.

[@wajj1842]

I agree. The quality of that NH recording makes it difficult to compare them. @@CarlD70

[@RichardBourne]

The parallels to Ms. Callas are uncanny. However in Ms. Jordan's case she is the true unicorn. No one in the musical world that has graced this world, has effected so many and compelled them to be better to themselves and others, just by the force of being. A truly historical moment in musical history. Rb

[@robsambosky6444]

GREETINGS EARTH GUYS; The song is about an unjustly incarcerated individual who yearns for freedom and family. That it relates to an Iranian prisoner is important because of her grandmother's ancestry.

[@johnwriter267]

Todd Duncan's original performance of this song was performed from a prison cell in the movie "Unchained". It was presented as a song of loss and longing. It was very different than the rendition the Righteous Brothers presented 10 years later. Their version was more of an upbeat pop presentation. I probably first heard the song sung by Harry Belafonte in 1956. Then many others before Bobby Hatfield... Angelina was singing to the husband and children of the Nobel laureate who hasn’t seen them in 9 years. They're sitting right there with her as she sings. This was a tribute to her sacrifice. As such, Angelina presented it respectfully with the feeling of loss and longing that the original portrayed. This is, in fact, a real life tragedy such as was depicted in the movie. Narges is looking at a total of 31 years of sentences. Angelina could not have performed this song better considering the circumstances. It was truly an incredible emotional performance... This was a tribute not a celebration. It was about Narges Mohammedi not Angelina... Angelina performed the song in a completely different manner at her Portsmouth, NH concert last September... So many reactors simply compare her performance to the Righteous Brothers. It would have been inappropriate for her to present that type of rendition in this situation. Her arrangement and presentation of the song was masterful, befitting of the circumstance and very much in tune with the meaning original presentation back in 1955.

[@MichaelGroves777]

Angelina showed us what her goddess mode is like with this beautiful rendition.

[@zeuso.1947]

For the somber occasion of the Nobel Peace Prize going to an imprisoned Iranian woman with her family present, Angelina has empathetic wisdom to keep her performance classy and heartfelt rather than flashy.

[@mikehaun5690]

Yes

[@tmsvanes]

Yes indeed.

[@peterhormell1511]

To me this is the embodiment of Divine Grace in sound. My only analogy, would be, to the likes of Maria Callas, The stature, the elegance, the enrapturing beauty. We all are blessed with the privilege of witnessing this history of Ms. Jordan's transformative artistry. Rb

[@RichardBourne]

This performance is epic and will be a nexus point in musical history. With this performance Ms. Jordan has solidify her position in the halls of all the great musical legends of musical history, b

[@DarienLovesJazz]

This is a perfect example of how, as Sinatra once said about himself, AJ doesn't let her singing get in the way of her storytelling. Pyrotechnic vocals would have definitely got in the way of the storytelling given the meaning of the song, the occasion, and the backstory of Narges Mohammadi. AJ is a master storyteller...Love your reaction as always BP1 & BP2!

[@boz352]

I'm fairly sure, if they were scoring, all her fans would easily give this beautiful performance a 10*, certainly I would, but I certainly don't begrudge you holding back that little 0.5, and I always enjoy your reactions. Deep down I know you really thought she was magnificent, didn't you.

[@dsgp7835]

The occasion must be considered when listening to this performance. Her soft and gentle arrangement is in context with the honoring of the jailed Iranian womens rights activist. Soaring and belting vocals were not appropriate for the audience which included the daughters of the jailed woman. Note the gown and sparkling headband, gives the image of an angel. This performance was important to Angelina due to her Grandmothers Iranian heritage. Multiple listenings reveal the usual beautiful Angelina subtleties. That last note drifts away to heaven.

[@KenChawkin]

Beautifully said. Narges Mohammadi's twin children, a son and a daughter, were Angelina's age at the time of this performance-17 years old. They may never see their mother again. Her husband, their father, was also with them. They all came to Norway from Paris. Her children spoke on her behalf accepting the Nobel Peace Prize.

[@dsgp7835]

@@KenChawkin Thank you for the correction and the more complete information.

[@KenChawkin]

@@dsgp7835 you're most welcome. I also read that her mother was on a hunger strike and had called them from prison to tell them what to say on her behalf in her acceptance speech. As you know, she had been in and out of prison before for standing up for women's rights. Years earlier her husband wanted to take the family out of Iran but she wanted to stay to fight the good fight. They left, she stayed, and unless a miracle happens, will sadly spend the rest of her life in prison.

[@muchkneaded]

KORK is the Norwegian Radio Orchestra - highly skilled musicians. At the end of her performance, Angelina says, "Oh my goodness, please, I don't want you guys to cry when you hear it, but, you know what? We'll cry together because I was so emotional. Like all this love, I was just breathing it in, I was just like inhaling it. It feels so amazing. I have no words to explain how happy I am...."

[@garyswee9061]

Haha! So many times we hear reactors say, "We know what's coming." You've done enough Angelina performances to know that you will only be sure after the performance is over. The constraints of the occasion called for restraint by Angelina. She handled it perfectly!

[@103mrg]

gary I was thinking the same thing: with Angelina, you NEVER know what's coming!

[@alberttenfoot]

I've been subscribed to your channel since the day you did your first reaction to Angelina and have never had a quibble about your scoring of an Angelina performance, util now. The Peace Prize was awarded to Narges Mohammdi, a 51-year-old Iranian peace activist who advocated for equality and the rights of women in Iran. She was arrested for the second time in 2013 and sentenced to 32 years in prison. Her husband had previously been sentenced to 14 years imprisonment and when he was released he and their two children (towns - a son and a daughter)) moved to France. The children are the same age as Angelina and have not seen their mother since 2013. Taking the circumstances into consideration, it would have been quite out of character for Angelina to sing the song in the manner of her performances at 9 and 12. In the performance, I think that Angelina sang from the perspective of a wife and mother, telling her husband and children that she loves them but needs their love to stay strong. The pain and anguish in Angelina's voice is unbelievable.

[@boscobeans]

An audience, an orchestra, a cause and a microphone is all this young lady needs to capture a person's emotions. One time through and as always, perfection keeping her power under control while being part of the fantastic musical accompaniment. Love how you guys appreciate her talent.❤❤❤❤❤

[@thomaslarsonyt4429]

This performance will go down in Angelina's long to be storied career as one of the Diamond vocal performances in her crown. The occasion demanded nothing short of perfection in Angelina's mind and she CRUSHED it with a velvet voice and incomparable Grace and Class. The Nobel Peace Prize, in the place you were born, Oslo..just doesn't get any better!

[@andyschnell58]

BP1 and BP2 I always enjoy your reactions to Angelina and this performance called for all the love and emotion Angelina could deliver. I thought "Unchained Melody" was a odd choice for this event, but have since learned the history of the song. More on that later. Certainly Angelina was thrilled to be performing back in her home country of Norway, where she is a national treasure, but this performance goes way beyond that honor. She first performed at the Save the Children event at the 2014 Peace Prize event, when she was 8 years old. Narges Mohammadi was this years' recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Narges, is currently on a hunger strike while imprisoned in Iran, for being an activist for women's rights. Her two children spoke on her behalf at this event. Most of the performers were Iranian. We know Angelina's grandmother, Mery Zamani, grew up in Iran and was a prodigy for painting and poetry. We can imagine the conversations Mery had with Angelina about Narges. This performance had to be extremely meaningful to Angelina and her family. I hope all the angels will spread the story of Narges and her mission, with the hope for change. In 1954, Alex North was contracted to compose the score for the prison film Unchained (released in 1955). North had a melody he had written in the 1930s and composed and recorded the score when he was asked to write a song based upon the movie's theme. North asked Hy Zaret to write the lyrics. After first refusing, Zaret and North together wrote "Unchained Melody. Zaret refused the producer's request to include the word "unchained" in his lyrics. The song eventually became known as the "Unchained Melody" even though the song does not actually include the word "unchained". Instead, Zaret chose to focus on someone who pines for a lover he has not seen in a "long, lonely time". "Unchained Melody" comes from the film centered on a man who contemplates either escaping from prison to live life on the run or completing his sentence and returning to his wife and family. So indeed this song fits along with Narges being in prison and her two children, and the rest of the people who embrace freedom, calling for her release.

[@marvinboswell6889]

I thought this was the most class I've ever heard this song and heard this song 1000 times from at least 200 singers ,Bobby was thiner and chopped off which fit his style and voice ,this was smooth deep and full of emotion which was a perfect fit for the occasion,

[@RichardBourne]

Gentleman all, You both have witnessed musical history in the making and you are on the ground floor, remember what you were doing and thinking, when you first heard these sounds. In the coming years, Ms. Jordan will be studied at university, asking the questions of how and why, a musical prodigy changed the course of world music. Context is Key. Rb

[@rongotwalt4487]

Thank you gents! As you realize the Angelina, our little barefoot princess has grown up into a stunningly, exquisite, eloquent and beautiful young woman. Didn't she look like a young Greek goddess on that beautiful gown delivering a beautifully graceful, solemn and respectful performance paying homage to the Nobel Peace Prize recipient. Personally, I think this is one of Angelina's finest live performances ever and she definitely made this song her very own. You put Angelina with anybody, especially a world famous Norwegian orchestra like Kork and this is what you get. Something to remember forever ! I agree. It so hard to see her grow up so fast in all your videos but you have to realize she just turned 18 a couple days ago guys and the world is hers to discover and I'm sure the l world will discover her very shortly. I guarantee you that. Angelina Jordan will be a name that will be on everyone's lips very shortly as we enter 2024. Thank you guys.

It's nice to see you again with Angelina, great reaction, thanks guys. The ability this girl has to move those who listen to her is absolutely incredible. This interpretation of her is fascinating and wonderfully intimate, it made this legendary song perfectly suited for the occasion of the tribute to Narges Mohammadi! I was moved to see and hear Angelina singing in such an incredibly mature and charming way 7 years after the last time and in the same studio and certainly also with some of the musicians who accompanied her as a child, when she took her first steps towards his musical future. Here Angelina was simply fantastic and "unchained", a singer who has already sung on 2 different occasions at the Nobel Prizes and at only 17 years old.💛🧡❤

[@poolhallshark]

Great reaction 🙂 This is not a "Here We Go! " performance at all, and that's the magic of it. This setting did require EXACTLY what she gave us - the most dignified, gracious, elegant and respectful rendition possible. Maybe a few adjectives there with the same meaning, but who cares. She is all that and did all that😄This is definitely one of her best performances to date IMO. Did I say Happy New Year ? I wish you and yours the best 2024 ever😁😁 And may it be better than all the previous years. It WILL be for Angelina, I'm pretty sure. Have a great weekend! Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

But in 1990, when they used it in the movie "Ghost", it rose to even higher status. Most people (not me) consider it their favorite version, but I like Angelina's performance here (she's done it several times) better. You obviously didn't hear what I heard.

[@josephstimpfl4594]

I appreciate you guys and have never challenged your scoring but l think you should reconsider. Let's talk. Bobby Hatfield is considered the gold standard but his version is a cover. The original is from a movie which portrays a man in prison. Think of that context. Angelina who has Iranian heritage selected this song very purposefully. The awardee isNarges Mohamedi who is in an Iranian prison has two children who are Angelina's age. The woman who introduced Angelina had just interviewed the children. Angelina who is so sensitive to others has crafted a version of this song to sing to the children as if it comes from their mother. You know this because at the end she looks toward the children and puts her hand over her heart. She crafted this version with a sense of restraint and deep emotion. Straight from her heart. Angelina never oversings.

The sad back story of how the Nobel Prize winner was awarded this honor had a direct affect on how Angelina chose to cover this song the way she did. The bravery of the female Iranian award winner and the consequences of her bravely speaking out against the treatment of Iranian women hits home with Angelina since her grandma, Mery Zamani is Iranian. The award winner’s seventeen year old twin son and daughter were present. Angelina said that this was a very emotional performance for her. IMO, She deserved the highest honor that we can bestow upon her for allowing her sensitivity and empathy be her guide in how to interpret the lyrics for the occasion.

Angelina has sung a few times with Kork, I remember definitely her singing Back to Black when she was 10. I know there were a few more but can't remember the others. Remember why she is singing with such love and compassion for the family of recipient of the prize.

@andyschnell58, As always, it is about the song and the occasion, for Angelina. I thought "Unchained Melody" was a odd choice for this event, but have since learned the history of the song. More on that later. Certainly Angelina was thrilled to be performing back in her home country of Norway, where she is a national treasure, but this performance goes way beyond that honor. She first performed at the Save the Children event at the 2014 Peace Prize event, when she was 8 years old. Narges Mohammadi was this years' recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Narges, is currently on a hunger strike while imprisoned in Iran, for being an activist for women's rights. Her two children spoke on her behalf at this event. Most of the performers were Iranian. We know Angelina's grandmother, Mery Zamani, grew up in Iran and was a prodigy for painting and poetry. We can imagine the conversations Mery had with Angelina about Narges. This performance had to be extremely meaningful to Angelina and her family. I hope all the angels will spread the story of Narges and her mission, with the hope for change. In 1954, Alex North was contracted to compose the score for the prison film Unchained (released in 1955). North had a melody he had written in the 1930s and composed and recorded the score when he was asked to write a song based upon the movie's theme. North asked Hy Zaret to write the lyrics. After first refusing, Zaret and North together wrote "Unchained Melody. Zaret refused the producer's request to include the word "unchained" in his lyrics. The song eventually became known as the "Unchained Melody" even though the song does not actually include the word "unchained". Instead, Zaret chose to focus on someone who pines for a lover he has not seen in a "long, lonely time". The film centered on a man who contemplates either escaping from prison to live life on the run or completing his sentence and returning to his wife and family. So indeed this song fits along with Narges being in prison and her two children, and the rest of the people who embrace freedom, calling for her release. It has been 9 years since Narge has seen her husband and daughters.

This was done slow and respect to Narges Mohammadi Who is in prison for beeing an aktivist and missing her twins 17 and her husband Who she hasn,t seen for 8yrs and has23more to go so Sad.❤

[@clones365]

9.5 is a good score, but if you learn more about the song and the recipient's story, no doubt you'd give it a 10;) I think you were expecting her to blow up parts of the song, which she is well capable of, but this was not the occasion. It was classy, mature, and heartfelt. Not a look at me and what I can do moment. Which is kind of ironic because the thought she put into it and the delivery makes you look at her and what she can do;)

[@OleOlson121]

Great reaction 🔥🔥🔥♥👣

[@steveinman1157]

Someone can correct me if I’m wrong but I believe Kork is the orchestra that played for AJ’s performance of Summertime when she was around 10 or 11. A small ensemble of the band backed up her performance of Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black.

[@MICHAELASHER.]

You are correct, Sir!

[@dxuisi]

Sitting directly in front of angelina are the 2 children of narges muhammadi , this performance was not about personal glory or any concern of some u tubers silly score cards , it was intentionally restrained and sombre befitting this event , angelina was sending a message and boy did she ever , every word was conveyed with great feeling and deep emotion . Its as if narges muhammadi had leapt into the body of angelina and poured her heart out to her husband and children .

[@Robert-rh7cl]

This one is probly he most watched but another very impressive young AJ Demo is he at 10 years old singing her version of a demo that was put in front of her ... look up the (leaked) version of " IM STILL HOLDING OUT FOR YOU"

[@livmarieauning7362]

I'm sooooo tired of reactors who don't acquire knowledge of who got the Nobel peace price and why. Narges Mohammadi (who got the prize), has not seen her 2 children for many, many years. For me it's like Angelina performed the song from the mother Narges to her 2 children,also 17, who were in the audience. And Narges M is in prison in Iran. Love Angelinas performance and it is the most beautiful performance of this song it ever can be..

[@beachbumseaglass]

I love you blokes but you shouldn't put a number on a performance like this. This wasn't one of her music videos or a contest of sorts. This was Angelina conveying a message through her soul to the world. ♥️

[@BritPopsReact]

@beachbumseaglass Cheers for the comment but we score every song since we started the channel. And they are just for fun. Cheers

[@nickmcconnell1291]

Winston Churchill's wife wore that headpiece and ear rings when he attended the Nobel Peace prize ceremony..... I read in GALA magazine. Does anyone know if that is really true

[@todds693]

Sorry guys but you missed the import of the occasion and why it was sung as a pleading by an imprisoned woman and not as a pop love struck man by Hatfield or Presley.

[@BritPopsReact]

@todds693 True, we were just reacting to the song.

So you have decided to lower the grade in the scores and leave her at 9.5? Well, nothing to object to, but considering her perfect synchronization with a symphony orchestra with no more than a couple of rehearsals, although it is evident that the symphony worked for her and not the other way around, and her wonderful voice full of feeling with that complicated, daring and dangerous final gift, I can't wait to see who you give a 9.6 to. I wish you the best for this new year.

[@Edam-Channel]

Most performers start out around 16 or 18 and initially feel a need to vocally show off and belt things out and about 10 years later by their mid 20's or early 30's get over it and start to mature. Angelina is no different EXCEPT her first publicly available studio session was age 6 so she managed to get the whole vocal dramatics and showing off out of her system by 16 .

[@gregjohnston5684]

9.5 is about right. So now you can rest at ease in your assessment. I saw her in rehearsal and know that she changed the initial run which in rehearsal was one continuous run in one breath but was handled in the performance in two segments - perhaps two breaths. I've heard her do that one better. But the glorious ending made up for it. So 9.5 covers it.

[@alibinawang5099]

KORK had played with AJ with AJ twise when she was 9/10. Summertime and bsck to black.

Score of that that’s a very sad thing you just listen to read your comments please read your comments

[@BritPopsReact]

@WilliamArmstrong-jq9uk Yes, we read the comments in between our proper job and life with the family. The score is a bit of fun on what we thought of the song. We have scored every song since we started in 2018 and will continue to do so, for FUN. If you don't agree with the score that's fine. We have probably given AJ more 10's than anyone. All the best
