I love Adele, but I had never heard this song of hers before. OMG. It's a beautiful, beautiful song and Angelina is such a beautiful sweet angel and delivers this song so well. I enjoyed your video and thank you for introducing me to this song, also. You made me tear up and laugh at the same time when you said, "Got me crying!" I'm still happy, but I just got torn up from this song, thinking about my mother and how we were best friends, but she's trapped inside her body now with Alzheimers and doesn't remember our history and great times. Thank God she still remembers me, but it really hurts to know she's living day by day but doesn't remember all those wonderful things.

Wolf that was one of the best reactions to our barefoot jazz princess now queen of jazz , so far. You are absolutely right ,while Adele is great her version is as fast food snack and Angelina's is the 7 course gourmet meal in the best restaurant in the country . She just can not be equaled in her presentation of this and her other covers . She has a God given quality that just can not be explained in mortal words. It is hard to come to grips with just good she is, you look at her and hear that heavenly voice and think this is not possible and yet there she is singing as if she just stepped out of a heavenly choir as the lead singer.

When you teared up just reading the lyrics, I knew you were in for it when you heard her delivery of them. It's a rare thing when someone can make a cover better than the original... it is even rarer when it's a 12 year old... and it's a cover of Adele. But there it is. I wasn't familiar with this song until I heard hers. I have since listened to Adele sing it, and it's hands down win for the 12 year old IMO (as impossible as that seems) I like that you read and understand the lyrics before reacting. ...although the one word "evident" is actually "inevitable" ...I only know this because Angelina says "invetable". You listened to it twice... don't even try to guess how many times I have listened to it ;) Lots more to see on this journey my friend ;)

Hahaha ... Love the thumbnail ... got my tissues ready - now we can roll the tape :) The after comments: I'm afraid I might be lengthy in this comment, but I think this reaction is worth it. Unlike _I Put A Spell On You_ where the goosebumps hit you right in the face like a runaway train, this song raises your hairs gradually all the way through from start to finish, it's 4 minute cultivation of the best goosebumps You can ever experience. First of all, it's a nice touch to recite the lyrics before listening to the song, especially with ballad like this one. In a way the message is kinda simple (now wait before you yell at me). Almost everyone who's lived long enough to realize that they might have made a few mistakes in their life has this kind of feeling from time to time. It's not a _mid life crisis._ It's just an insight one gets that maybe one could have done things differently and maybe could have been nicer to some of the people they encountered through the years. *What makes this song so special* is the way this feeling is expressed in the lyrics. The choice of words and metaphors is brilliant - and the way it's been put together with different themes in the verses is easy to relate to and creates a full life story that it speak to us in a very special way when we pay attention to the lyrics. Secondly I must say a few words about Angelina's voice and the way she uses it in this song. If You listen attentively to the sounds she produces You can almost hear two or more voices at different pitch. Angelinas voice is so rich in natural harmonies and overtones and she has mastered the skill to alter the color of her voice, i.e. she can adjust which ones of these overtones should be dominant and that way she manages to alter the timber of her voice. I don't think this is a conscious activity where she thinks about the technical details, she just adjusting her voice from experience to suit the atmosphere she want's to create at each point in the song. To further enrich the performance she adds that effortless and hauntingly beautiful vibrato and uses a lot of dynamic variations. Lastly I'd also like to mention those crystal clear, almost whistling sounds she produces in the chorus, the knOw in "I know I'm not the only one". Sometimes I think she's got a glass harp in her throat. My third, and last point to discuss is her actual rendition of the song. Her well exercised vocal prowess allows her to be relaxed and focus on the emotional presentation of the song without worry about _how_ to do it. The technical side of her sining comes natural to her and she can devote her full attention to convey the emotions described in the lyrics. She's adjusting the phrasing and slows down the tempo on some of the words to give them more weight, then speeds up to "catch" the basic rhythm of the song on the less important words. To further emphasize some of the extra special words the reduces her voice to almost a whisper, which forces us to listen more closely to her song, and as a reward for our attention she gives us a more open and booming vowel right after. This creates a pulsating living organism within the song and helps her to pull us closer. Listening to this song is like geting _a warm embrace from someone safe_ (to use Angelinas own lyrics from "What Is Life"). Another technique she uses is to let some tones just fade away without notice, and we listen to the _memory_ of the tone. Every time I listen to this song, I start to wonder how much of this presentation of the song is deliberate and thought through or if she just runs by instinct and do all these things from within her soul. What ever the case might be, the end result is sensational. ooh .. there's one more thing I'd like to add. To accompany Angelina on this kind of songs isn't easy. You have to be very attentive to all the rhythm changes and dynamic variations to stay "in tune" with her emotionally. I saw a comment mentioned how she looks to her left to make sure she doesn't make any mistakes with the lyrics, notice also how often she glances to her right to communicate with the guitarist, and the way he's looking back at her, and the way they give subconscious signals to each other by nodding the head, swaying their bodies or sometimes just the flick of a finger. And speaking about the guitarist, hes name is *_Ivan Mendez_* and deserves some credit as well, even thought he's reward is inherent in Angelinas song - just look at how he glows and smiles at some of the ear candy she's giving him. Just imagine to sit that close and listen to Angelinas voice _in natura_

Congratulations,I have commented you before,and this analyzis of Angelina's singing is wonderful.I will just try to come with some additional analyzis or information if you will.Yesterday after listening to one of her songs,I found a link to a video with an author and I think she filled in some of the missing link in our understanding of why Angelina can sing with so much emotion and bring that emotion to us,the listeners. She was talking of a well developed throat chakra,and that was the reason why people can sing in this way.She was giving a link to an example Stone cold with Daniela T(I'll not sure of her name,but it is a girl from Kazakhstan,and I think the same thing is at work here.
