The LA Angels.......Young Team Angelina flexing it's Creative Muscle.....let's give BIG CREDIT to the rest of her crew.

[@richardduffy3115]

Love Angie's big brown eyes! Her singing is just as sensational too!!

[@redheadedneighbor]

So much

[@keithserafy]

The pianist is Angelina's friend, Dylan Meek, jazz pianist & Grammy nominated song writer, born & raised in Austin, TX, currently living in LA. The guitarist is Ivan Mendez, born & raised in Mexico & currently living in LA, who played for Angelina for a year when she was 12. Both are excellent musicians.

[@katherandefy]

Didn’t know his name but he’s a multi-instrumentalist too!

[@WilliamArmstrong-jq9uk]

First time she’s ever wrote so you’re gonna hear the first composition she wrote hey is the first thing she ever wrote? What is life?

[@PopsBarnCatMafia]

PRETTY AS always Ms. Red. Although my house is in Maryland, my ranch where I spend most of my time now is in Oklahoma... and we tend to say "All Y'all" when there's more than one person. lol. I can relate to the piano having that "All Time Revival" sound lol... grew up in some of those kind of churches myself, many, many many years ago.

[@WilliamArmstrong-jq9uk]

First thing she ever rode, and they’re all prodigies and everyone of them

[@HusemR]

Every time she brings tears in my eyes cause it is so beautiful. Angelina Jordan ASTAR (the name says it all), this young norwegian genius is imo the best singer on the planet! I am 70 y old and have never heard a singer like her in my whole life. Her voice touches my heart and cleanses my soul.

Isn’t she a gift?!

[@geoffreynorth9046]

Lovely reaction to a lovely song, beautifully sung - and yes, her musicans, Ivan Mendez and Dylan Meek (from Texas ), are top-notch.

Sono italiano e apprezzo la grande musica.Sento voci da mezzo secolo e non mi impressiono di quelle che arrivano al settimo piano e non trovano niente... Viceversa se una voce ti scava dentro e ti procurano brividi ed emozione allora è il caso del talento puro.E' il caso di Angelina Jordan.Conoscevo l'America come terra delle possibilità e dell'apprezzamento del talento.....Che succede; avete qualcuno migliore di Angelina?Non credo proprio.Cantare e ' un arte.Ma cantare bene e con classe e' prodigioso.

There’s 1,000,000 miles does a tribute to grandpa passed away. He is also playing the cello in it one of the piano so he’s been around a little bit. I have a been day is always with her when she’s in Los Angeles so if they must be in Los Angeles now. OK do you have a great day William saying hi from USA

[@jonathanfielding7387]

Yeep this one gives me the happy tears quite frequently. 😊

[@poolhallshark]

Hello again 🙂 No wonder we love our Angelina, right ? She was 12 in this performance but I believe she wrote it when she was either 10 or 11. Have a great weekend! Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

[@LonghopeBro-ju6jl]

What I love about her lyrics, besides how profound they are for an 11 year old, and her love for her little sister, is how she emphasizes good over bad at the end. Yes, love life for all the good and the bad. But then she highlights and elevates "the good" while understating "the bad". It's brilliant!

[@WilliamArmstrong-jq9uk]

I’ve been met his guitar player. He must be a Los Angeles because he only plays when she’s in Los Angeles so I don’t know where he’s from. I just know already award for playing the piano, and I also read that he was a prodigy, prodigy endeavor project home in music that’s all I know I know I have a day is always with her when she’s in Los Angeles when she’s in some other place he’s not there now she never mind.

[@Hazealot006]

This should be in the dictionary under 'wholesome' 💖 I think you are starting to get an idea why so many of her fans hold her so dear. Loved your reaction, thanks so much for sharing! 🌹

[@ronjones1077]

Re-watching your Angelina reactions and totally enjoying the initial reactions. The pure nature of her innocence in this story is sublime.

[@redheadedneighbor]

Yes, she’s wonderful

[@I_scribbles]

One of my favorite songs ever

[@leechap3]

I loved this reaction! 💓💓 The song is wonderful of course.

[@pjg58x]

Great reaction. Angelina is 12 in this video although she first recorded this song at age 11 for her first album It’s Magic. It is believed that she actually wrote this song at 10.

[@MICHAELASHER.]

Wrote this at 11.

[@anitaherbert1037]

So at 12 years old Angelina creates lyrics" a warm embrace from someone safe". and recognises the duality of life " the good and the bad"

[@markkleckner3060]

Awesome reaction and she was 12 here and the song I believe was written when she was 11, God Bless!

[@alberttenfoot]

Thank you,for another heartfelt reaction to Angelina singing her first original song. Although she is singing it at the age of 12, she wrote it when she was eleven. Simple words by an 11-year-old child describing the things that are important to her at that age, but when one listens carefully one realises that those words are of great emotional depth to which all of us can relate. For me, that a child can so clearly tell us in simple words what is important to her is remarkable, and then when one listens closely realises that those simple words describe an intellectual and emotional depth which is certainly unusual in one so young.

[@peterhormell1511]

Not to be missed is Angelina’s earlier version of this song, performed with the Armed Forces band of Norway. It was added to an album where Angelina joined forces with the “Army band” to celebrate their 75th anniversary. They included this original song of Angelina’s and I believe they worked on the musical composition part together. The album is available on iTunes (among other platforms). Here’s a link to Angelina rehearsing this song with the band (Fostvarets Stabmusikorps*). Check this video out now… it is very difficult to track down (it is an unlisted video). “What is Life” by Angelina Jordan m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZfRXoKDnJWHZ5Y

[@pjg58x]

The album also includes another Angelina original, Oslo. These are the first two Angelina originals released.

[@robertsilva631]

Angelina has been writing songs since she was 10 years 0ld - So far 11 have been released: Oslo, What is Life?, Shield, Million Miles, 7th Heaven, Love Don't Let Me Go, Now I'm The Fool, Fire and Rain, All My Fault, Good in Goodbyes, and Diamond. Angelina has stated that she has written about 100 songs that have yet to be released. Her songs are taken from her Journal writings. When she was 10/11 she rewrote the Lyrics to Amy Winehouse's Back to Black and Rehab to make them more age-appropriate.

[@redheadedneighbor]

What a talent!!!

[@ronraskind]

I always love your warm and sincere comments and insight. Are you aware that most viewers do not go to your description on their own? Why not invite them to do so verbally. Let them know they will find ways to support your channel and also important ways to support their favorite artist. At minimum, provide links to the artists original video and official channel. If your viewers visit your description as a result of your encouragement, both you and the artist benefit as it should be 🙂. Peace.

[@tomrogers1305]

At fhus point she had already participated in song writing conferences where they always emphasize starting from your personal experiences. At age 12 that doesn't encompass many external conflicts, especially for a child as protected as Angelina. This was a good exercise for a girl looking back on 10-11 years and it's so warmly expressive of her musical influences.

[@cm0355]

Thanks for the reaction to our angel Angelina..she’s simply the best..❤

[@stevenhambek846]

This is our dear girl Angelina creating jazz, with impactful lyrics beyond her years.❤❤❤ This pianist has work many times with Angelina and guitarist has worked magic on many songs with AJ

[@deanyoho2755]

Beautiful reaction.

[@johnvasi]

Angelina’s message is consistent in many of the songs she’s written. Life may give us good and bad, but center on the good and be positive. As you noted, it’s a surprising, reflective message from a very young girl, but we all understand that Angelina is special in many ways. And aside from the message, the music-the cadence-is not at all what we might expect from a young songwriter. The beautiful vocal runs at the end are nuanced, jazzy, and sophisticated. This casual session is one of my favorites where many qualities that make Angelina unique all come together.

[@Sweetpea4575]

“Her image is curated, but it’s natural…“ I haven’t heard it put that way, but you captured it. Her childhood innocence is transparent here, but the lyrics are profound, especially for someone so young; we see here for the first time her intellectual genius and maturity as well as her vocal and musical genius. Those runs are breathtaking.

[@Arlene_G]

This song is a peek into Angelina's young heart; the things in life that she regards very much part of it. From going to school, spending time playing piano to spending creative time w/her Grandma... She addresses shining like bright stars in dark nights... She touched me when she shared feeding birds with her little sister, and referred to her as the "love of" her life... What a wise, albeit, young girl she is, and example to today's teens. Yes, Red...the creativity in how she adds vocal instruments (the "runs") is just amazing!! Loved your reaction because you heard WHO she is & comments underscored it all... happy "treasure" hunting!! It's refreshing to see someone who takes time to dig out the gems! And I'm so glad I found you, "RED-GEM"!! PEACE!!

[@andyschnell58]

Excellent point. Most 11 year Olds (she was 11 when she first sang this beautiful song) are complaining about most everything. Angelina always has a positive outlook and finds the beauty in life.

[@charlesallison146]

Dylan Meek plays multiple instruments..He plays the Standup Bass on her original. Seventh Heaven talented guy...

[@redheadedneighbor]

Ohhhh!

[@mattmid7012]

I think the lyrics tell so much about her upbringing. The little sister/love of her life line is so endearing. As if the singing wasn't enough, she was writing songs like this at whatever age she is there, 12-14 at a guess?

[@sip4119]

Whenever you see young Angelina with Ivan Mendez the guitarist she was 12 yrs old 😀

[@mattmid7012]

@@sip4119 Amazing.

[@pjg58x]

She was no older than 11 when she wrote this because she recorded a studio version for her album at 11 years old.

[@AbbieCrescendo]

This has been one of my top favorites because of those reasons you mentioned and it's also in the genre that suits her best. Thank you for the reaction Red, you're the best.

Thank you!

[@lightbearer7552]

Thank you red, the beauty of AJ was with her from a tot in every way it has remained with her right up to now at nearly 18 yrs old. she has had my heart from the first time i discovered her and it has just grown and grown , watching this again (for the well I've lost count it could be a 100 times sometimes with her it could have been 500 times or a 1000 times) but it brought tears to my eyes but like always a smile to my heart this is the impact that she has, not just on me but so many of us, this beautiful soul just radiates joy and love and it is contagious. I like so many will say the same thing I have never felt like this about an artist and I adore her voice or voices because there are many she has something very beautiful to give to the world and it's herself.💗👣

[@katherandefy]

Ok how many of you love this recording better than the same song recorded on her album like I do. The combo of Dylan’s piano and Angelina on that amazing mic is hard to top in my opinion. It’s so so good. And Ivan like the true angel he is.

[@redheadedneighbor]

I loved this

[@aryachow]

You should also check out Oslo. I believe she wrote it when she left Norway for the US

[@paulwagner9303]

not that it matters much, but IIRC she wrote it on the flight home to Oslo after an extensive trip to the US 😉

[@CarlosCastillo-ue9cz]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@comartse]

Thank you for your pleasant reaction and comments! It would have been interesting to see your reaction to a song I often return to, Every Time We Say Goodbye, sung by the 10-year-old Angelina. The Norwegian presenter says they are happy to hear this before Angelina travels to the US. That context gives this song extra depth. It was filmed on a rooftop in Oslo. You can find it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYO2emt-orl7gKM

Thank you so much for the comment and for the link. I appreciate it.

The fella playing piano is Dylan Meek, a Grammy Award winning songwriter and the guy playing guitar is Ivan Mendez, he was her LA accompianist on several mind blowing acoustic recordings....she's totally unique.

[@shodanrich3317]

Hey Red. This is an Angelina original. That's Dylan Meek on the piano. He is a Jazz pianist, Producer, Vocalist, Arranger, Recording Artist, and Entertainer, and Grammy Nominated songwriter. Originally from Austin Texas. Not sure how old she was when she wrote it but jeeze, the sophisticated lyrics, taking on one of the primary questions to humanity, her simple but gorgeous observances. So prescient. And the runs at the end. Unreal. Love your reactions to AJ. Peace.

[@markkleckner3060]

She was 11 I believe, and she is 12 here. Dylan is also in her "7th Heaven" video, God Bless!

[@ronjones1077]

Angelina is 12 here. She wrote this Age 11-12 and first recorded it with the Norway military orchestra. It is on her first EP with them “It’s Magic”. It’s A Man’s World is also on that EP

[@jollyo9276]

Actually a full 16 piece album, containing 3 instrumentals and 13 songs sung by Angelina, - incl. her two first originals ever released. "What is Life" and the other one called "Oslo" (her home town in Norway). So very beatyful as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4qqnWSMfqmBjck A highly recomandable fan-made video, build mainly on the original recorded album track. - And magic it is 🤗
