Angelina Jordan - I'm Still Holding out for You | Audio Reaction

[@poolhallshark-qf1vs]

She was 10 years old here, but still 21 months older than in her cover of I Put A Spell On You. Just to put that one in context for you.

[@stillracer2514]

You must mean 12 months because she was 9 when she sang "I Put a Spell on You".

@@stillracer2514 9 years 2 months and 10 years 11 months old respectively. Getting pretty close to 2 years apart, that's why I mentioned it. So much is happening during those years, it is just worth mentioning I think. The other end of the "spectrum" would be 9 years 11 months and 10 years 1 month, where the difference would just be 3 months 🙂

[@jonathanfielding7387]

As other said she was 10... Just a week or 2 before her 11th Birthday. The reason there is some footage of her at age 12 in the video is because about 1.5 years went by between the leak, and the fan getting the audio and eventually a the Fan made video being made. ;)

[@anthony7400]

She is 10 here, recorded it for the songs author (baby fuzz) as a demo to try to sell it to another artist. It's a fan favorite. After the leak author put out their own version to protect their copy right. Neither the author or Angelina's team asked it be pulled. Lot of her fans thinks Republic should buy it for her so she could release a current version.

[@nickmcconnell1291]

I wish that the writer of this song would do a deal with Angelina to give her rights to it. I believe AJ could today make an even better version of this and fill the airways.

[@PatStone3]

Angelina has over 150 songs on KZbin from age 1 1/2 yrs old thru now, age 17. She has covered over 70 of the best artists going back to the 50s to the present. Angelina has millions of fans and I’m sure not all of her songs are their favorites, some they like more than others, I think that’s normal. Angelina has given us the opportunity to hear and see the Artistic growth of a future Legend. Angelina is way too special a singer (a prodigy IMHO). I think you will enjoy her journey as much as so many of us. By the way, she has about seven original songs she wrote from age 11 to present. Her latest original song is part of an EP to be released soon, all original music.

[@ashlenamusic]

I look forward to hearing her original songs

[@TheBlaster54]

The stage name of the writer of the song is, Baby Fuzz. This leaked performance of Baby Fuzz’s song is a demo. Angelina performed it when she was ten years old. She was actually one week away from her eleventh birthday. Angelina’s family felt that the lyrics were too risqué for someone Angelina’s age to be singing it. Hence the reason why Angelina’s family wouldn’t allow it to be released. I’m not sure how this song was leaked, but there is no doubt that had it been released, it would be a chart topper.

[@markkleckner3060]

Awesome reaction a Demo recorded age 10, leaked age 12 before Originator Baby Fuzz recorded it! An epic Performance, God Bless!

[@johnvasi]

Often new reactors to Angelina say just what you did: that Angelina’s voice was perfect for the song they just heard. As you listen more, you’ll know why her nickname is the Girl with a Thousand Voices. Angelina not only knows what the song or genre needs, but she can deliver that voice that fits beautifully-as you just heard. For I Put a Spell on You, she was showing respect for Hawkins as well as the genre. Soul, jazz, blues, ballads, r&b, country, gospel, and more. To get a glimpse of her vocal tools and her ability to make iconic songs her own, try her jazzy arrangement of Billie Jean. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqGZaJ5vrNBlg9k

Hi there! I agree that this is one great song and heartfelt vocal performance from AJ . There are stories about this "hidden" song. I don't believe she ever sang it after which is a shame. I saw the video of Fuzzy performing the song in a completely different way. As far as I am concerned, she made her own. I too am anxiously waiting for her next album! Thank you for your reaction!

[@gregorygardner9373]

New subscriber - thanks to your great reaction to & appreciation of this masterful performance by Angelina - at just 10 years old. My understanding is that Angelina was asked to demo this song for the original songwriter "Baby Fuzz". (His original version is available, but IMHO quite bland compared to what Angelina produced.) Angelina's Mom did not think the ending lyrics were appropriate for her 10 year old daughter & it was never released - until someone "leaked" it. I strongly believe that it is one of her best songs ever (at any age) - & kudos to the fans that made the video. Btw - there are several other incredible Angelina fan made videos - including : "How Great Thou Art" (featuring Angelina's low register) & Wicked Game (the Suni Amtoft fan made video also shows Angelina playing the piano background track). I believe both were when Angelina was 10 to 12 years old. Looking forward to more of your Angelina reactions. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.

[@katherandefy]

[@tomrogers1305]

This one where little is absolutely known, so you may get a variety of background stories. What I believe is that this is an original interpretation of a very good adult song by a very young singer. Sadly it seems to have touched upon taboo subject matter for the family. Glad you enjoyed it and I wish more of the world could have done so also.

Wow, you're on a roll, Ashlena! Thanks for all your Angelina-dedicated efforts! 🙏 This journey is basically about getting to know Angelina as a singer and person. All these videos reflect 10 years of work that this girl put into her singing career. And when she'll drop her debut album she'll be a seasoned artist already. Yet, this is only the beginning. Elton John recently gave his last concert at the age of 76. Imagine Angelina gave her last concert at the age of 76, she'd still have about 60 years ahead of her! Unfortunately, if her career lasted that long, probably none uf will be able to see the end of it.

Baby fuzz along with a few others wrote the song and had been looking for artists to record the song but had no takers , some folks who knew Angelina and baby fuzz obtained the demo and recorded the Angelina version aged 10 a week before her 11th birthday .for some unknown reason to me it was just left on the shelf for 2 / 3 years ? then suddenly this leaked video was released on KZbin followed around 1 month later by a baby fuzz version , he claims he had never heard of Angelinas version before releasing his own .anyone claiming that mother sara put the blocks on the Angelina version because of inappropriate lyrics will have no evidence to back up that statement in fact baby fuzz has denied the song was about suicide . As Andy schnell has suggested my comments are not from any facts I have personally obtained but from other long standing knowledgeable fans .

BabyFuzz wrote the song with his. He had a couple right he said the demo to her and it was leaked out another copyright issues.

[@dianedove1000]

I’m going back and catching some of your previous reactions, and I just want to say that I personally think the reactor will be better able to appreciate Angelina’s song if they know her age at the time she sang it. For instance, with this one, if you knew she was only ten and doing a demo, never hearing anyone else sing the song before, and she probably arranged it herself, wouldn’t that color your reaction? I know it would mine. Another example is It’s A Man’s World-An eleven year old singing live on stage with a full band behind her, and at one point shocked the conductor even!

[@ashlenamusic]

Very true I will look up her ages when I react xx thank you!

[@andrewchacone9497]

Ashlena, Angelina was 10 years old went she recorded this demo for Brandon Lowry, songwriter aka "Baby Fuzzry". The demo was leaked out by an unknown person, without Brandon Lowry's permission around the same time he released his original version. The lyrics are the same however, Angelina's demo is better than the original written by Brandon Lowry.

[@omunozl]

Your favorite song you ever heard her sing? Well you will soon be taking back those words. Quite a journey ahead of you. Enjoy the ride!

[@ericdavison5434]

IMHO Angelina's masterpiece to date was recorded in 2016, at 10 yrs old. "I'm Still Holding Out For You" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqebnp15nZqcn6c) was co-written by Brandon Lowry at a 2016 writers workshop in Oslo, Norway. Brandon sent out lyrics and melody to several artists, including Angelina, in an attempt to receive a demo. Angelina's recording was never released and unknown party(s) obtained the recording and created the LEAKED video from public access photos, which was released in November 2018, one month before Brandon released his video with the song.

[@ridgemanron]

Her mom didn't want her 10 year old daughter singing this and since it is such an exceptional performance, we can only guess as to the reason? She, being 10, may have not been ready for the acclaim this song being released would bring. There is a mention of a self drowning remark about being willing to hold her head under water for the object of her desires in the song and her mom has proven very concerned about lyrics that were supposed to be uttered in other songs when she was young, which had to be changed in many instances. This may very well have been a similar case.

[@dale897]

I do believe it is that subject matter that her mum didn't want her singing about. Which is weird because she let her go on norways got talent and sing gloomy Sunday which is based on the same subject matter.

[@ridgemanron]

Gloomy Sunday makes no direct comparison to the aspects of this song that you mention. In fact, Angelina's mom told her that it was simply a sad song, with regard to lyrics, and nothing more severe than that, and this is why she allowed her to sing it. Your incorrectly mixing apples with oranges, so to speak. In fact, when questioned by a judge at NGT, regarding the content, Angelina said that 'Gloomy' was a sad song, which was an accurate evaluation, but contained nothing more severe than that. Why it's referred to in some circles as 'The Hungarian Suicide Song' is beyond me? I don't hear anything about 'suicide' in the lyrics and if some people associate 'Gloomy' with that, to me it's a huge 'stretch', which even 'strict' mama Sara had to have agreed with.

[@silversurfer8278]

100% agree Ashlena, this is one of the very best performance of Angelina's early years, recorded I believe at age 10. Her recording was made as a demo before the writer Baby Fuzz released it himself, and many of us regard this AJ performance as the definitive version of the song.

[@joanburnley6244]

10 yrs old , it`s a demo

[@andyschnell58]

I copied and pasted the following from Schnell Jordan's reaction to this song. The comments were first posted on a previous reaction to AJ by Schnell Jordan and I reposted them under my name on her reaction to this song. I have no idea how factual any of it is, but William Johnson, the author, mentions Kent Nielsen who is a regular commentor on reactions to Angelina. I encourage everyone to clearly state if their comments are factual, opinions or taken from someone else's comments as I have done here. Devon replied on Schnell Jordan’s video on April 5, 2021 The following was posted by William Johnson on the subject: The thing about the lyrics being a problem with her family is just a rumor, and not why she didn't release it. And while she made several versions of this song, this one was recorded in 2017, just before she turned 11. Kent Nielsen, a friend of the writers and who knows Angelina's family, gives this information about this song, and also about "Shield": Your understanding of “Shield” seems to be everyone’s understanding. But like the John Legend rumor, this is a general misconception. I actually spoke with Ronny Janssen, one of the producers of “Shield” and he told me that the super talented, award-winning producer/songwriter Aksel Carlson wrote the song. Angelina had one line prior to the song being written “Forgive me for all that I am” and Aksel wrote the song from that. Ronny, Aksel and Frida also made the music (lyrics by Baby Fuzz) regarding “I’m still holding out for you”. I am aware of the stories and rumors surrounding this song too. However, I was told by Ronny (again) that her family actually wanted her to sing/release this song, but Ronny and Aksel spoke against it. Also, it was more of a stylistic issue, the song didn’t really fit well with Angelina. They did three recordings of this song, two in December of 2016 and the one that was leaked was recorded on January 3rd 2017. Regarding the lyrics, they already changed some for Angelina’s demo version... they could just as easily have changed the ending part too, if it was an issue. The reason it was taken down was because Angelina’s family had not been given permission to make the demo public, so when it was leaked, they had it removed due to risks of copyright infringements. But, Brandon (Baby Fuzz) really liked Angelina’s version, so he allowed it to stay on KZbin. All this information comes directly from everyone involved. I also spoke with Brandon Lowry (Baby Fuzz) about this song and he doesn’t seem to understand why there is any controversy surrounding the song. Angelina did the demo in 2017 and didn’t release it due to the song not being the right stylistic choice (which also could explain why she did not sing it again) Ronny and Aksel told Brandon that they did the demo with Angelina, but he wanted to record and release the song himself. There are many theories as to why it was "LEAKED", but seems the original artist, Baby Fuzz, had only released a demo and it was never officially released. You can read his explanation below (from the video)... Baby FuzZ 3 weeks ago Hey! I'm getting lots of messages about this tune so just thought I'd clear the air! So the song was written and produced by me and a few friends in Norway. It was pitched around possibly for another artist to record, and apparently Angelina cut this version around that time (when she was only 10 years old - impressive!). I never heard the demo, though, and we were never approached about her releasing it as far as I know. The song sat for a few years, and then I just decided to put it out with my original demo vocals on. I came across this version after it was out already, and I think it's super cool. I don't think there were any hard feelings or anything, was just a demo that didn't end up getting released on her end. Hope that helps clarify!
