Angelina Jordan - If I Were A Boy | REACTION

[@KingFamilyReacts]

***for everyone saying that this is not a cover here is the definition of a cover song*** In popular music, a cover version, cover song, remake, revival, or simply cover is a new performance or recording by a musician other than the original performer or composer of the song

[@Sjiropn]

Yes this is a cover , the original by co writer bc Jean .

[@Sweetpea4575]

It’s a bc Jean cover or Toby Gad revival but not a Beyonce cover.

[@KingFamilyReacts]

@@Sweetpea4575 in any case it's a cover. I'm familiar with the beyoncé one. I'm simply saying that it's a cover song and that's not wrong. People are saying that it's not a cover when it indeed is. I don't care who recorded it first

[@rmaury147]

@@KingFamilyReacts It would be interesting to know what Toby would call this. Is this closer to his vision of the song, listening to BC's recording, it seems this is closer to her version vice Beyonce. Just curious how Toby thought AJ would be great for this song

[@CarlD70]

Sure it is a cover...wonder who believes that this is not a cover...that's interesting.

[@marvinboswell6889]

Really a great rendition of this song ,Toby Gad is the original co writer of this song and they have another song coming out soon Bad Valentine ,enjoyed your reaction thumbs up to you 👍

[@poolhallshark]

Great reaction, Dennis! And YES, this is definitely a cover 😅 Love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

[@jollyo9276]

👣Angelina only keep getting better and better, - simply amazing. And considering that it willl go on like that for a few years still, - even thinking of that makes goosbumps appear, even under my feet. She is a master of her craft, no doubt. 🤩 BTW - talking about feet - did you get it? I do like so much that Angelina lately is stating it very "laud & clear", as she make her point of performing with bare feet - like as she walks👠👠 in to the "stage" - then shoes👣 off - and ready to perform. How can we not love and approve on her for what she does 🤗

[@DarienLovesJazz]

Great reaction as always!!! Toby Gad, who originally wrote the song with BC Jean, is on the piano. Have a great weekend King Family!!!

[@albertphilippi4371]

Tobias "Toby" Gad is a German music producer and songwriter. His biggest success to date was All of Me by John Legend. Another big success was Big Girls Don't Cry (Fergie). He has also worked for artists such as Beyoncé (If I Were a Boy), Madonna, Brandy, Natasha Bedingfield, Mandy Capristo, Shakira, Nick Carter, Donna Summer, Selena Gomez, Sandra, Demi Lovato (Skyscraper) etc.... In addition to three Grammys and numerous other awards, Toby Glad has 34 gold, 104 platinum and two diamond albums. I'm just a fan of Angelina, not a professional, all that matters to me is what I hear, I find my peace. 👣💯 *AJ* 💯👣

[@madelaca4589]

Each song by Angelina is a journey. She takes you to a different world, great storyteller and extraordinary singer. 🥰

[@anitaherbert1037]

Loved this song. Her rendition is emotional and I just loved it❤. To sing with, and have the approval of one of the songs composers is special too. I find the rich lower tone in the begining really conveys someone who is talking to themselves. The power of her belt conveys the hurt and passion behind the words. Angelina does not sing a song, she feels it. That's the most special of all.

[@larrypifer1103]

The Apex of Perfection: The performance of "If I Were A Boy" by Angelina Jordan, featuring Toby Gad on the piano, and another on cello, is a testament to the timeless appeal of live music. Angelina's choice to perform barefoot, a nod to her unique style and perhaps a symbol of her connection to the music, adds a layer of authenticity to the experience. The setting of a church likely provided an acoustic richness that complemented the emotional depth of the song. This collaboration between the young, talented vocalist and the accomplished musician showcases the power of music to convey complex emotions and create memorable moments. The white gown worn by Angelina could be seen as a reflection of the song's pure and introspective message, resonating with listeners on a profound level. Such performances are not just about the music; they're about the atmosphere, the visual presentation, and the shared experience between the artist and the audience. Angelina Jordan's rendition of "If I Were A Boy" in such a setting is a beautiful example of how live performances can captivate and move an audience. For those interested in experiencing this performance, the official release of the song is available for listeners. (CopyRight)

[@robertsilva631]

Angelina was invited by Toby Gad to perform this song with him. They are currently collaborating on new music that will be released later in 2024 - the first will be a song titled Bad Valentine.

[@Jimpc75]

This is not a Beyonce cover. This is Angelina's song . The composer Toby Gad wanted Angelina to reinvent this song as a ballad. This is rearranged by the talented Angelina.

[@EdwardMoran-yi4be]

Angelina is in total control of this song and I'm loving the jazz she puts into it! I can feel myself floating in this song! Angelina took me away again!

[@navrozelalkaka8457]

wonderful reaction

[@larrypifer1103]

The metamorphosis of AJ. Angelina Jordan's evolution from a child prodigy to a full-grown artist is a testament to her enduring talent and the natural progression of life. It's not uncommon for fans to feel nostalgic about artists they've followed since childhood, but growth and change are intrinsic to the human experience. As Angelina transitions into adulthood, her style and presentation may change, but what remains constant is her unique voice that continues to captivate audiences worldwide. Her journey reflects the transformation every artist undergoes, adapting and maturing both personally and professionally. This metamorphosis often brings a deeper, more resonant voice and a presence that resonates with both the innocence of youth and the wisdom of experience. Angelina's ability to maintain her signature sound while enhancing it with the strength of adulthood is what makes her a true phenomenon in the music industry. (CopyRight)

[@jimmyclanton3100]

SO VERY WELL PUT !!!....Especially , '''her SIGNATURE SOUND''...OMG!!!

[@royjohansen7472]

❤️ it, Angelina the next Mega Superstar of the World 👍🥰❤️

[@pffp6246]

Angelina all grown up and is every musician dream collaboration.She’s World class all by the age of 18 .Wow

[@lightbearer7552]

Great reaction as always , it is hers now , Toby Gad on piano and BC jean wrote it and BC jean sang it without to much success then Beyonce had a hit with it, Toby asked Angelina to sing it , and she just took it to another level , Toby loves her he has been fan boying everywhere, they have a new original coming soon and working on others so this could be a big break for her, i mean look at her and listen to her she is incredible and how she feels songs and her storytelling ability is the greatest I have ever experienced , Toby already saying the greatest new superstar . so our girl might finally get the acknowledgement she deserves.💜💜💜👣💎

WOW! I love it it when she sings with less vocal fry, really shows her vocal tones and her voice better and how talented she really is. She Killed this.

[@ewelina8b]

The best and emotional performance of this song .❤ Thank you Tobi for writing this song. Now it's Angelina's song. This is not cover.

[@Miguel-kw8ej]

Angelina Jordan without many explanations is and will be an elite performer of the highest level because she has an unmatched, unique, original talent, AJ did not become a singer with school vocal coaches, she was born to sing, she is privileged, a vocal prodigy”, Mexico

[@mikehaun5690]

Just one of Angelina's super powers ... you believe every word she sings.

[@danilozaccaria9271]

PS. The pianist is Toby himself. He choose Angelina for this remake. Tells you something?❤️👋

[@ClaudioMarcucci7756]

Great reaction, thank you. You freeze ... endlessly listening to her wonderful voice and admiring her fantastic musical sensitivity, even the simplest song that passes through her hands becomes fantastic. She is simply unique and with a wonderful melodic perception.💛🧡❤

[@RachelDacusAuthor]

Wonderful analysis of the complex marvel that is Angelina's voice and performance. It's very exciting that she's teaming up with Grammy-winning songwriter Toby Gad. We can expect some wonderful music coming from this duo. Angelina has surpassed herself in this performance! And that's really saying something. Thanks for your reaction!

[@bill.angelus]

Instrumentals are a highlight for me...made her emotional performance resonate. Toby on piano; who on cello?

[@OleOlson121]

A magnificent performance by our Barefoot Princess. Beautiful 😊♥👣

[@robertsilva631]

Angelina is actually performing the song with Toby Gad (that is where the Piano Diaries reference comes from) who was the original co-writer of the song.

[@aryachow]

Angelina definitely has made this her song. And just to clarify this is not a Beyonce cover. This song was not written by Beyonce and its not written for Beyonce. It was written by Toby Gad and BC Jean for BC Jean. You have just seen Angelina Angelinaring again ❤❤❤❤👣

[@jim-rohe]

This song was written by Toby Gad (the guy playing the piano here) and BC Jean. The song was first recorded by BC Jean and then by Beyonce. So technically Beyonce version was a cover.

[@Sebastian_Moustache]

At most she is a stellar storyteller 👸🏻🎙👣 Thanks for your great reaction 👍🏻

[@AbbieCrescendo]

Agree King Fam, superb reaction. Angelina stated that she loves remaking songs to put her uniqueness in them. She absolutely made this one her own.

[@victorariasarrue]

Lloré, Lloré y Lloré, cuanta emoción, cuanto amor, cuanta delicadeza, cuanta belleza.... Asombroso. No puedo estar mas de acuerdo con tu análisis, esta canción ya no es de nadie más, solo de Angelina!!!! Su voz, Ho Mi Dios, cada vez más espectacular!!!!!!

[@rw716]

Nice reaction! On the piano is the co-writer of the song, Toby Gad. Just to let you know, the other co-writer of the song, BC Jean, was the first to sing the song. Per Toby, they played it for Beyonce one day and she really wanted to sing and use this song, and the rest you say is history. Angelina and Toby have been working together for a while now and are creating new music for her to sing. They teased a song at a special event called Bad Valentine and it should be coming out within a few months. This collaboration is awesome!

[@arynauarodrigues6558]

Well done! AJ is unique

[@ysteindrge8394]

She is so good. Nice vocal and artist ❤

[@charlespeterson7502]

Angelina just took another song. Nothing but fabulous coming from Angelina.

[@patrickchauharjasingh7164]

Superb reaction. No need to defend your calling it a cover; we know it is. Beyonce did a great version of the song and made it popular, but her version was ALSO a cover, the original artist being BC Jean, who co-wrote it with Toby Gad. So yes, it is a cover, but not a Beyonce cover since she was NOT the original artist. I think what upsets people is when it is labelled as a Beyonce cover, which seems to take the credit away from the actual original artist. All of which in no way detracts from the fact that Angelina does a brilliant, superb, beautiful and utterly breathtaking performance, in which she effortlessly displays every aspect and nuance of her unique and beautiful voice and her towering, genius-level vocal technique, transporting you along with her on an emotional journey in which you FEEL every single word.

[@MichaelAmis-te2md]

Angelina’s vocals are magnificent and that is Toby Gad on piano! This is her song! Look at the bottom of the credits about record label!

[@salvadorvelazquezheredia8670]

I think we are already seeing the change from child prodigy to DIVA mode... her classic, elegant style, without having excessive ornaments either in her music or in her person... just talent, class, elegance and great style... ahaha and working with the best song writers, musicians and producers in the world...

This song has been released in two completely different versions in terms of instrumentation. 👌👌😀😀😀😀😊😊👍👍👍👍

Ok it's a cover still. Someone else released it. So it's a reinterpretation of a song but it's still a cover

[@clones365]

@@KingFamilyReacts it really doesn't matter if it's a cover, to me anyway, but the def you wrote says "by a musician other than the original performer or composer of the song". Isn't he the original composer? The pianist in this vid.

Since you seemed to be puzzled by Toby Gad .. he is the REAL DEAL .. Tobias "Toby" Gad (born 28 March 1968) is a German music producer and songwriter based in Los Angeles. He is known for co-writing songs including John Legend's biggest hit, "All of Me", the fifth-highest certified single in RIAA history, and for co-writing and producing "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie and "If I Were a Boy" by Beyoncé. Other notable works include "Skyscraper" for Demi Lovato, "Who You Are" for Jessie J, "Untouched" for The Veronicas, "A Year Without Rain" for Selena Gomez & the Scene, "Don't Hold Your Breath" for Nicole Scherzinger, "Love You More" for JLS, and "I Do" for Colbie Caillat.

[@samdoe5087]

It is very simple, Angelina is able to do things with her voice that others wish they could do. They may have a "great" voice but are limited to their ability to control it. She puts in chord changes, inflections, flips, scratch, rasp, vibrato, rises, falls or whatever she feels like the song needs. This song was written by the man on the piano, Toby Gad as part of his new album.
