Angelina Jordan - Young and Beautiful (Lana Del Rey Cover) - First Time Reaction

[@adairmartin]

You have really fallen in the rabbit hole! Love it!

[@TheBlaster54]

There is gold. There is platinum. There is diamonds. Then there is Angelina, an extremely rare and precious gem.

[@charlespeterson7502]

Best singer I've ever heard.

[@larsfrodelarsen6645]

Young musical genius !!!

[@garysen]

Channeling Lana while being 100% phenomenal Angelina 👣. Wonderful ❣️

[@rcollins6046]

Angelina, prodigy, the girl with 1000 voices. Recommend: possible her best song - I'm still holding out for you at age 10

[@TheBlaster54]

What is most remarkable about this setting for me is seeing Angelina, alone, with a microphone and accompanied with just a backing track, yet she commands my complete and undivided attention when she sings. This performance just confirms why Angelina doesn’t need all of the unnecessary studio produced distractions that most other artists feel they need. Angelina standing in a spot, accompanied with a piano, guitar or backing track is all we fans need to become completely focused and mesmerized when listening to this divinely gifted angel sing.

[@alberttenfoot]

Hi! Totally agree., Angelina and her voice is all that is necessary for an emotional experience. Did you know that Chris Walker (BigAngieFan) has isolated the vocals of several Angelina performances? In case you haven't here are the ones uploaded to KZbin at present.

[@robertsilva631]

This video is a great example of why Angelina is the Woman of 1,000 voices - she adapts her voice to the needs of the song as well as pays tribute to the original artist.

[@markkleckner3060]

Awesome reaction and you hear a little of the voice of the Artist she is covering! Hence her nickname, Singing Angel of a 1,000 Voices, God Bless!

[@McDevittMike]

Nobody covers a Lana del Rey song better 😎

[@necitasbasila113]

This is one of my favorite from Angelina. And this is beautiful than the original for me.... Thanks.

[@StevenFosterprcofsoflo]

Keep them coming brother. She hit this one out of the ballpark. It's just amazing how our Angel can take any cover, any genre and create magic. I've been with her for over 4 years and never tire of her performances. Eventually you'll get to her orginals. Her compositions and lyrical ability for such a young age can give any of our contemporaries and run for their money. Thanks for this reaction and again, looking forward for more.

[@JustHorseyMie]

This is one of my favourite covers of hers..

[@9Ballr]

Love the headphones! Now I know that you are getting the full experience of Angelina's amazing singing. Many reactors comment that Angelina "sounds a lot like so-and-so" when she covers a song, and it's true that she has an incredible ability to sing with a similar tone to many of the artists she covers, but I think you will find in listening to Angelina and listening to the originals that Angelina's voice is richer, fuller, and has more texture, more depth, and more nuance than the originals in almost every case. Since you listened to this Lana Del Rey cover I will second Carl Dez's suggestion that you listen to Angelina's cover of Born to Die next (link provided by Carl in his comment). It is remarkable and I think the headphones will make a huge difference to your listening experience.

[@bentemjanger1030]

Liked your reaction:)...she has also done "Born to die"...Lana Del Rey cover...one of my favorites❣️

[@bentemjanger1030]

Oops...sorry...I see you did a reaction to "Born to die" 2 months ago 🥀

[@HS-ol4zl]

Yes, Angelina, we will...!

[@AbbieCrescendo]

Angelina is fantastic. Great reaction Josh.

[@johnbattles1002]

Angelina, you may not always be young, as is the case with all of us; but you will always be beautiful inside and out. And, yes, we will STILL love you!

[@kenvo343]

another one of Angelina's timeless masterpiece.

[@douglasdennett4583]

Hi Josh / Fantastic Hosting - Sir... Ms. Angelina Jordan is so Heavenly Here / Like Watching an Earth Angel Gracefully Stepping over the Roses in the Garden Barefoot Style... Past Amazing on all Levels Again!!! Just Great the many Ms. AJ Music Reactions You have made lately / A True Fellow Angel Fan... Thumbs Up - Friend!!! Tuesday / January 10th, 2023 / Ms. AJ is turning 17 / Everyone wish her the Very Best, at this Special time / Perfect... DD.

[@GrandmaEllen]

I had not heard this song until this video of Angelina Jordan covering it. The words of the song are so universally appealing, and with Angelina's voice carrying the message it seems to touch very deep. I feel transported to that place where we know if everything is energy in various states of expansion and contraction, then Love is All. And then she waves like a young girl. Josh, she's 12 in this one. And thank you again. I'm following your journey. Grandma Ellen, in 2023.

[@massimoseganti8687]

Hi Josh I understand you when you say I have to listen to Lana, Angelina is a musical chameleon you will see when you listen to Adele..:) but, what is most impressive is how she gives meaning to every word of the lyrics, listening to Angelina is like completely listening to each song, regurding all age ..it's a crazy mystery.Great review..Massimo

[@royperkins9176]

That is another beautiful facet of this beautiful diamond of an Artist, not only can you appreciate all her talents but she makes you want to revisit the greats and their artistry. Keeping music alive for past present and future. IMO she’s already one of the greats, just waiting for a lot of the world to catch up. Thanks for the reaction. Great job

[@johnvasi]

You said that this song fit so well with Angelina’s voice. It’s amazing, isn’t it, how many songs in different styles fit her voice so well. Actually, no-I think it’s the other way around. Calling Angelina the girl with a thousand voices is a bit of an overstatement, but she can choose voices, tones, and inflections so easily to fit and enhance whatever she sings. Since you’re a Lana Del Ray fan, you really have to watch Angelina’s cover of Born to Die. Her opening tone just freezes you because, even for Angelina fans, it doesn’t seem like that deep and resonant voice can come from such a young singer. It’s one of her more extraordinary covers, and another one that’s better than the original, in my opinion. Just Angelina sitting at home, a music track, and a mic. Nothing else needed.

[@wilfriedmatusch9293]

Angelina is a vocal chameleon, that’s probably what your feeling/hearing

[@jackritchie5475]

Yes Angelina has captured Lana very sad and full of hurt I have listened to a lot of Lana Del Rey something very sad and emotional about her voice brilliant cover from Angelina 😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️❤️🥲💕💕💕

[@soledadmonticelli6091]

Esa modulación, única, ese vibrato ..esa "raspy voice" ....sin palabras.

[@ronjones1077]

12 years old and Born to Die is unbelievable!

[@barrycook867]

I'm definitely gonna agree with what a lot of people say and that's there's something hypnotic about how Ms Jordan sings and it puts you in that place you wanna be when you listen to music. ( great reaction as always)

[@robertsilva631]

Angelina is 12 years old in this performance.

[@CarlD70]

Thanks Josh for another very nice reaction with Angelina. She does such a beautiful rendition of this Lana song here, she can pretty much sing anything and change her vocals to match the type of song she is covering. I highly recommend her Lana cover of "Born to Die", just sitting at home with a backing track and her new Mic she received for her 12 th birthday. This one is a big Angelina fan base favorite, and for good reason: kzbin.info/www/bejne/en-4XnuZgdqClas

[@charliemiller5831]

good point about going back to compare to Lana's version.... as good as Lana is, Angelina's additional layers of nuance and depth of timbre is inescapable.

[@geniej9093]

My answer is yes to the question. I closed my eyes and listened to her stylize this cover.

[@poolhallshark]

Great reaction, Josh! And Angelina was 12 years old here. With a very similar voice to Lana. Let that sink in for a minute... LOL In my personal opinion, Angelina is a way better singer than Lana, but Lana has some really great lyrics. Pretty much like Adele, another artist with less tools in her vocal toolbox than Angelina. Again just my opinion 🙂 I love that you use headphones now. You're bound to hear more of the subtle nuances in her voice, and it is chock full of it. Maybe even consider re-listening to some of the songs you've already reacted to ? Her voice deserves it 😁 Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

[@andrewchacone9497]

Keep up the good work, Josh; your reactions are spot on. Angelina's covers are similar without being identical due to her Norwegian accent and English pronunciation of words. However, that said, Angelina always makes the cover song her own.

[@103mrg]

andrew Angelina has no Norwegian accent, whether singing or speaking English.

[@paulwagner9303]

There is no accent, maybe a touch of Midwestern sound if you listen very carefully. But she occasionally uses the jazz tool kit - including unexpected intonation, word broadening or letter swapping. And given the uniqueness of her voice combined with her hard-earned technical skills, she has no choice but to make every song she covers her own. 😉

[@103mrg]

@@paulwagner9303 Much more than "occasionally". Just sayin'.

[@paulwagner9303]

@@103mrg Well, I had my doubts about the term "occasionally" when I wrote the comment, but I felt saying "very often" would also be too much. What I meant was: She uses this or another tool from this box when she feels it fits the song and/or helps convey both meaning and feeling (not the whole box and sometimes nothing from it either).

[@royperkins9176]

@@paulwagner9303 glad I’m not the only one who hears the Midwestern accent 👍

[@frankphillips5660]

Uploaded to YT on July 28, 2018 so she was 12 years old. Listen to Lana's "Born To Die" and then Angelina's cover uploaded April 18, 2018 at 12: kzbin.info/www/bejne/en-4XnuZgdqClas

[@robertanderson6494]

First time I heard this song it went right to the top of my favorite list. Eventually I realized that was happening with almost every new song I heard from Angelina. It sounds weird to say it, but I cherish every time I hear her sing.

[@dharmabum9119]

Dont worry when it seems you are repeating yourself as you continue to listen to her music. Just keep telling it straight. You're likely going to keep arriving at the same place- stunned at how good she continues to be, consistently across genres and artists all the while putting her distinctive stamp on each one while paying tribute to the original. And more often than not, you'll probably favor her version over the original. She's just that good. We are so fortunate to be witness to her coming into her own in real time...

[@capstan50g]

This has to be one of my fave covers. It's technically perfect and has so much soul. I love way she plays with the tension and release in the bridge, leading to that note on "diamond." Breathtaking. Great reaction, MV! Oh, Happy New Year, man!

[@kevingood4644]

So glad you got some headphones ))

[@Mister.315]

Good to see you Josh. Magical, mesmerizing. Maybe 13? Oh yeah, she has so much detail in her delicate vocal sounds, headphones are a must to enjoy them better. Good reaction.

[@kristena9285]

The video was posted in 2018 so she can't have been any older than 12. 🙂

[@monaboutet6863]

Love ya!

[@kenscott8966]

As you'll soon come to notice, somehow Angelina can "sound like" (or maybe remind us of) lots of original artists that she covers. It might be tone or choice of vocal effects or some other intangible but it happens over and over. All the while she often, in ways small or large, makes the song her own.

[@angelightification]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@erikcouvret]

So many reactors have said: She just sounds like ..., or has a similar voice like ..., but than there are several singers she is compared to. Billie Holiday, Amy Winehouse, Adele, Norah Jones and many others. Most surprising for me is that she could sound like Eva Cassidy (RIP), who I considered one of the best (cover) singers in the world! (Just listen to the MashUp between them by BigAngieFan: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpTdlGmFicqBiNk ) And there is always something about Angelina that she can make a song her own and and not just mimicks, even if the accompinament is close to the original. Mostly because she has a deep actorlike understanding of the lyrics of a song. With her own timing, dynamics and inflections she is able to add some magic! It's addictive!

[@enzaovince]

Sono andato ad ascoltare Lana,ebbene,detto che entrambe sono grandi,ho trovato Angelina piu emozionante,piu connessa con la canzone e la cosa appare incredibile. Del resto siamo abituati a questo.

[@pamelahyde369]

yes listen to Lana Del Rey's version. Also, listen to Born to Die first by Lana, then Angelina. I believe Angelina Angelina's version is much better at capturing and transmitting the deep emotion of Born to Die even though she is only 11. Evidence that AJ is embodying the spirit and emotion of the great artists that have gone before her. There is no other explanation for how a young can convey life experience beyond her years.

[@alanlawrence6576]

it is an incredible singer with a very unusual voice she started very young and covers many songs the first Herder and she was at the age of 14 covering Chris Isaacs wicked game and blew me away #Диана #DianaAnkudinova #Wickedgame or at the age of 18 covers Elvis Presley song Diana Ankudinova - Can't help falling in love (give it a go you will not be disappointed)

[@anitaherbert1037]

Have you reacted to NOTHING BREAKS LIKE A HEART shockingly a Miley cover. Mark Ronson sent Angelina the backing track after meeting her.

A hardcore Lana Del Rey fan was upset after listening to Angelina’s versions chose Angelina’s🌀

Looks like the video and audio were out of sync...maybe it was good for you but we see a slight sync issue.

[@TroyArchAngel]

Really? You had to come here and say this 🤣 to a 12 year old. Angelina Jordan Astar best singer of all time till present day. Get a life and go listen to your favorite artist. Plus if you really wanna do this go and watch her live performances, you hater. The issue here is you and your eyes probably

[@103mrg]

@@TroyArchAngel What's the matter with you? TC C was correct; there is a slight sync issue. Yet you jump all over him for trying to help Josh. It's you who needs to get a life.

[@TroyArchAngel]

I just hate anyone who tries to say something bad about Angelina. She is perfect how she sings, her personality is perfect everything about her is perfect. No other artist is like this and what she does for the world and for us. I might have understood what he said wrong, if so I'm sorry. But I think I understood correctly. Fuck all the haters for this girl. We should protect this angel, she's a bright light that came in a dark world right now and yet you find these rats coming knit picking like it's a contest.

[@103mrg]

@@TroyArchAngel You DID NOT understand correctly. He wasn't referring to Angelina at all. He was pointing out that there were issues with the audio/visual synchronization of the reaction and the video....And I've got news for you: Angelina ain't perfect.

[@tedheiden6357]

I like Lana Del Rey. Angelina's voice is superior.

[@sedigives]

I've been watching for a few years now, & that's odd because I follow no one really & at 57, other then landing a rocket or something, not that impressed to much, but she's different. I've watch her change reactors & artist's? So here's a dare, react to a reactor and see how you do! You should get lots of views. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWKVkqGmfZajpMk the song is "Million years ago" & a song I think you'll really like is "I'm still holding out for you" anyways, good reactions & thanks P.S. Have you reacted to Rush?

[@ridgemanron]

Her vocals and arrangement are better than Lana's, and I know how good Lana is. Heartfelt ballads need to be sung by a true jazz singer, for only they are able to bring forth the emotion laden penetration needed. Angelina applies so much she learned from Billie Holiday, who was the best at singing this kind of song.

[@alanoakley3242]

Maybe I should give her the benefit of the doubt but there's a video circulating on KZbin of Lana del Rey singing live which leads me to wonder if she can sing at all, never mind be likened to the best young singer on the circuit. My sense is that Angelina Jordan can match up with very little effort to all the technological post-production enhancement wizardry the boffins can throw at the vocally mediocre eye-candy the video age has imposed on music consumers. That said, I have studiously avoided Miss del Rey since that terrifying performance, which may turn out to have been a blip but I won't find out by listening to her studio recordings, I'm certain of that.

[@Pete00000]

I have heard some Lana songs live and she does a nice job. She’s an amazing songwriter but clearly Angelina is a great singer on another level from most:)

[@dianedove1000]

More like twelve.
