Love your reaction, thanks Paul !! I think she has great empathy, and can portray this in her singing.

Angelina was born to sing you cannot teach this, she has all to tools and more, This performance is one of my favourites from this musical genius,this rendition was so good it’s as if Adele writes songs for Angelina, this is Angelina’s song now she has stolen it, I’ve attended four of Angelina’s live performances to date,from when she was 12 years old to present day, Angelina never disappoints, great reaction thanks 🙏

This is one of my favorite performances of a younger Angelina. There is such a tenderness to her expression of this Adele classic and even her belting is warm, soft and hauntingly beautiful. She is a musical empath who instinctively feels everything she sings and has the unmatched vocal ability to convey those feelings to us lucky listeners. Her recent rendition of this song 5 years later at the age of 18 at her Las Vegas show is another masterpiece. I honestly cannot say which version I like better. If and when you react to the newer performance at the historic Westgate Hotel (where Elvis had his residency), make sure to use James Thiel’s version on his channel. Although fan made, he is a genius at editing footage and producing the best audio of all AJ’s performances.

You said it all Paul....better than I think I could, she just simply feels the music and this what comes out, simply mesmerizing all the time. Cheers, Sir, stay well and blessings from the Angels.🥰🥰

Hey!, reacting to Dimash, Amira, Angelina, ..., another hard day? 😉😂. I understood your words well. People with natural talent, in all facets of life, make difficult things easy, the same thing happens in music, in sports, in science,..., I think that means being a genius. Thanks for the 40th time or more for staying with us and your prayers. You always thank us and sometimes I forget, sorry. See you tomorrow again, take care Paul 👏👋

[@BZ_C6H6]

You were right, notice how she was surprised at the end.

[@andyschnell58]

I think you explained Angelina's approach to singing better than most.

[@aryachow]

As good as she was here , Angelina sang this song again at 18 recently at the Vegas concert, it was even better. The maturity of her voice made it even better ❤❤❤❤👣

[@brianreilly8661]

Glad you said that I thought so too but this performance is also amazing we are lucky to have all these choices to listen too just a special person and talent ❤

Hey Paul. Thanks for another terrific Angelina reaction. You're right, she's really something special. I almost used to be embarrassed that a child singer could practically bring me to my knees with her voice each and every time I heard her sing, but that passed pretty quickly. Angelina is just *that* good, and she's getting better by the day. Looking forward to seeing your reactions to some of her more recent stuff like "Bad Valentine" when those come up on your "to listen to" list. Cheers. 👼

[@Pyanfar]

Paul, it think you are trying to say that she performs the song the way she feels it.

[@richardduffy3115]

Great analogy Paul! She is a wonder!!!

[@9Ballr]

Another one of my top 5 all-time favorite Angelina performances!

[@Pyanfar]

Was just about to say the same thing! Even better than her later performances of the same song. Just something really special about this song, in this setting, at this time. Magic. ❤️❤️❤️❤️👣

[@clones365]

I have about 100 top 5 favorites and the others are top 10;)

[@9Ballr]

@@Pyanfar You know it!

I couldn't agree with you more......

Great Reaction 👍🙏👣💯😎

Beautiful reaction 🙂 Love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

I think when you listen to the best singers in the world every day like Angelina and other prodigies one will appreciate lesser singers less altough those lesser singers still sing very well. That has been my experience that one starts to compare regular singers to the prodigies. I had to take a step back to appreciate the regular singers I listen to again. P.s. I added the number 1 country song of the Netherlands to your request list. It is Danny Vera with the hit song Rollercoaster.

[@salo5167]

I cant`help it every time she starts singing i start crying how is it possible that someone can sing so unbelievably well. There is no one like Angelina❤

[@andyschnell58]

Every time Angelina sings "When We Were Young", a new classic is born.

Hi Paul 🖐 my friend and fellow Angelina Angel 😇👌! Angelina feels 😌 every syllable of the word she sings 😲 💯% in her old 💯 year old orphan soul ✨️ and heart ❤️‍🔥! And that's the big difference to all the other good singers 😯 out there😊! Adele has an incredible voice 😲 no question about it! But Adele's voice is "SHARPER! HARDER"! Angelina's voice 😲🎙is warmer🔥, softer, clearer, more emotional❤️‍🔥,soulful 💫 Her power💥, raspy 🗣 and old soul ✨️ voice👸😲🎙is Magical! Heartwarming 💖 and Soul ✨️Touching! out of this world 🌍 😊! Angelina's voice 😲 is timeless! Its magic💫 is that Angelina can slip into the role of the song like a camel 🦎 and spice up the lyrics! It's realistic! Like an actor in his role! Even if Angelina has never personally experienced what she sings😲! It seems very authentic😊! What Angelina has that other singers😯don't have! Is her jazz🎺 old orphan soul ✨️voice and her special runs melismas 🎶! and when Angelina sings 😲 she breathes! 🗣 AJ tells the story"! AJ is a story singer👸😲🎙like Dimash! She takes her listeners to another💫time dimension! during the song😌! Thanks for sharing this video👍great emotional reaction and comments Paul as always my fellow AJ Angel 😇 👍👌👏! Love 💖 and peace ✌ ☮️ and kindness 😀 from Switzerland 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭 👋🙋‍♂️😇👣👸😯🎙🎺🎷🎸 🎹 ❤️‍🔥 ❤️🔥💥🌍🌹💎! Spread Love 💖 all Day 😀! God ✨️💥 bless you Paul 🙏 Thank you a thousand times for the support, my fellow angel 😇 from Angelina!! our jazz queen👸 and angel 😇!! on her two You Tube channels 🙏 She deserves it a thousand times over 😀!

I love this version of her more than her latest version.

She is fully aware of the horrid life her mentor Billie Holiday endured, which included learning that her father died when hospitals in the south wouldn't treat him. Keep in mind that she was born to a 13 year old prostitute and also came to be aware of a poem called Strange Fruit. It talked about how 'Blacks' were hung from trees throughout the deep south and Billie turned it into a song of the same name. It was banned from radio stations in the south but still sold over a million copies. Angelina is able to shut her eyes and draw from these events Billie went through when she sings heartfelt ballads and has listeners believing the singer actually lived the emotions she is singing about. It's an extraordinary ability and helps to explain why she says that if not for Billie, there would be no Angelina Jordan. She has mastered all the unique, inventive elements Billie brought to musicality, making her the most improvisational singer of all time.
