Angelina " The boss"

[@denisehayes8577]

I am so bewitched by this child and her voice ... i listen to her every day ... seems such an unspoiled Girl ... I pray for her protection from the Industry. ..

[@RobertDeMartin]

Are you kidding me!? There is so much to take in watching this video. But, you know what? Just settle back, enjoy it, and understand someone like Angelina may come around once in a lifetime. In 2020 she has helped millions of people cope with all the stress associated with the virus. And, she gives comfort to those in need because that's what she does! A remarkable young singer with a voice that touches our hearts. Her heart overflows with love and will always reach out to support many humanitarian causes while, at the same time, remaining humble and so beautiful in the way she carries herself. Angelina, from your words in Million Miles, don't ever feel alone! We will always be with you. We love you very much.

[@fleurdelys6229]

This girl, at such a young age knows how to work hard to be where she is at now. She knows well her craft and won’t settle for less. Indeed, She is music!! Hats off Angelina! Respect 💯 times!

[@Jeff22790]

My favourite female artist ever! 😁😁😁

[@pokeysatx]

Total command of the stage and coordination. Musical genius!

[@georgesthibaudeau1533]

A little professional in action, in full possession of her art, and quietly enjoying it. L O V E L Y !

[@johnbattles1002]

Oh! My! Goodness! WOW! Even when she makes a mistake and realizes it, she is STILL mesmerizingly perfect!!!!! But the thing is that the "mistake" wasn't even her fault! It was the BAND and CONDUCTOR'S fault in having the tempo way too fast! That's what she was realizing and being annoyed with, even at this young age! Even her rehearsals are phenomenal! And the way she moves her arms and hands to the song is just a magical work of art in motion. I would have paid serious money to have just had the opportunity to be there and watch in person! She is astounding, not only as a first-class vocalist but as a special human being too!

[@pedropsalles]

She was clearly dissatisfied, and points her finger down indicating the need to reduce the tempo but also the volume of the piano. Because it wasn't just the tempo that was too fast, but also the way the piano played was wrong. Notice that in the first take, the piano is beating the rhythm (papapa papapa..) and in the second take it changes completely. She corrects the musicians and especially the pianist.

[@boz352]

How could you not watch this video and fall in love . Such a gift to all of us.

[@louiswu9907]

Eight years old, and she knows exactly how it should sound. I have never seen this before.

[@leticiavallejo7914]

I think she's a perfectionist. You go girl!

[@Truthseekersws]

The days of 70 year old conductors trying to push her around are over. They will now be summarily replaced. Very nicely, though. But quickly.

[@gran29ty67]

Omg. I love how she sings this. I get goosebumps every time. You are perfection little lady.

This child has music in her sole and in her body, fantastic voice, full of love and passion.

[@rogerandrus1806]

Fun to see her with a young girl's reaction: "Play it in the tempo I told you to!" So cute

[@JohnWilliams-kj3rh]

She is just so, so good. Incredible to watch her at such a young age. Thank you to her Mom for recording all of these rehearsals. Can't imagine what the other musicians thought when they worked with her. They were in the presence of greatness!

AT LAST we have somebody that's the very very best from of all the rest of the best. go them Girl.

[@ooshta]

It just amazes me, that Angie, being a child has better work ethics than a lot of adults. She's such a little perfectionist. She expects a lot of her self & the same from those around her but in a loving & respectful way. Thank dear God for her.

You, Angelina, are a living miracle

[@George50809]

Angelina was still just a kid when she sang this. What a job!

[@beaviver15]

In the first part of the video (Take #1 of the song) I immediately noticed Angelina showing signs of nerves (a very new experience with Angelina Jordan after watching her sing over one hundred times with no sign of nerves whatsoever). The performance seemed rather disjointed and even stiff, unlike the usual connected, consistent, stable stream of beautiful, creative melodies that pour out through her voice as her heart emotes their interpretation at the feeling level. I listened again and noticed the impact of nervees first and immediately on her voice, which was not nearly as steady and rock solid as it always had been, even as far back as when she was 8yrs. old. I searched for other clues and noticed suprisingly that her eyes appeared to be wide open for the entire song, at least as far as I could tell considering the distance of the the camera from her and the absence of a zoom lense. I've always believed that closing her eyes somehow related to her traveling to that special place she often speaks of where she is calm, relaxed, joyful, and can effortlessly allow the music to flow through her. I wonder . . . ? So, with all the problems she had in the first performance I would rate it a 6.0 comparing it, of course, only to HER best. Please don't think that I am trying to criticize or belittle her in any way. I only had to hear Angelina sing two songs and she instantly became my favorite singer of all time. But being a musician (vocals, guitar, drums, bass, piano), a scientist, and a mathematician of more than 40 years my mind seeks to analyze and understand everything in spite of myself and often to my detriment. OK, in the 3rd and last time through the song, and if I remember correctly, the 2nd time as well, they slowed down the song's tempo, most likely as per Angelina's request. This did seem to help and it was very interesting to watch her in the last two takes attempt and often succeed in correcting many of the problems she had encountered in the previous take(s) With these next two takes Angelina progressed, ultimately receiving a score of 7, perhaps even 7.5 from me. But this is very unusual since previously my lowest rating for her on any performance has been aboùt an 8.6 with many a 10.0. Numbers of course are subjective and far from absolute and can tell only a small part of the story. They simply help our brain to categorize what we otherwise have trouble measuring, remembering, and communicating.

[@petercarter3981]

This is the first video I have ever seen her show her displeasure with the band and she was so right way to fast for her wants and she showed her professional attitude through all it

[@aryachow]

I watched this again. It's really incredible that Angelina was in 💯% control at such a young age with adult professional musicians ❤❤❤❤👣

[@harryhthenorwegian476]

I got to laugh! You can see in the first take that she's not very satisfied so she has corrected the band before the nest takes. She is so professional....

[@aryachow]

Yes! She Is such a pro ! She knows exactly what she wants and how she wants it. nothing less will do!

[@brucebenson9892]

Here we see how she is not a child singing songs but an artist creating music, a musician creating art. She expresses her displeasure several times with the faster tempo in the first version. How many kids have you ever seen take charge of the music like that? Never.

[@mrpeppery]

I missed that at first but you are absolutely right! After the first version (where she really wasn't happy, lol) the tempo dropped significantly and then a bit more for the third and she was absolutely right - that was way too fast the first time. I just listened to the classic Etta James version and it was even slower than the third run-through. Same with Beyonce's version. That is a significant difference in tempo but not a huge one. It's amazing that a 7 y/o girl can recognize the difference but not a professional conductor...

[@Mark-zv3zv]

I'm glad someone noticed

[@raevans65]

Not only did she realize it was too fast for what she wanted to do but she got the people around here to adjust so third time they were in the pocket. That was anazing to watch. Even though I like Portrait of a Child and all the adjustments and arrangement compared to Portrait of a Man the best and video shows she was in command, this video clearly shows she knows what she is doing and has for a very long time in her very short time on earth so far. Simply incredible!!

[@chadwickyang7885]

It was an absolute torture to see her suffered through the fast tempo on the first take. Incredibly, even the adult professionals did not realize that the tempo was off and incorrect for the song. Angelina Jordan has been communicting with the grandma or her mom with hand gestures on stage or in the studio booth since she was 6 years old. It seems that Slapping down the left hand means 'this is bad'. And the quick sussession of the 'go away' gesture means 'stop the recording and taping for this is so suck'. At 3:18 on the second take, she's happy that the tempo came down quite a bit and you can see her hand gesture and a quick smile. She was in total control on the 3rd take and the tempo was brought to the right pace. It showed that she's such a pro at that tender age !

[@johnbattles1002]

Rien n'est usurpé chez Angélina, rien n'est laissé au hasard, une main de fer dans un gant de velours ! Cette petite fille de 8 ans ici a déjà tout de la grande qu'elle devient aujourd'hui ! Comme quoi tout est mérité pour ceux qui se donnent la peine, une bonne leçon pour ceux qui pensent à devenir célèbre en se la coulant douce !

Wish I could hear what she said to them (in the cutout parts) as they in the second part they Slowed the tempo and cut out some of the jingle jangle in the Third try they slowed it even more and took out some of the loudest horns and finally harmonized with Angelina's Voice and At Last at the Concert itself it came Out Perfectly 🤗 Thanks for Your beautiful Upload 👍🙏👌👣 ~ OneLove ~ JBB

[@johnbattles1002]

I could just imagine her saying something like, "Okay, fellas! We gonna do this, and we gonna keep doing it until we get it right! Savvy!? Okay, good; now let's take it again from the top, and this time, slow it down and make Etta James proud!" Lol! I know she wouldn't really say that because she's just too humble and sweet. But I'm sure she got her point across finally the third time. :D

[@jeffskinkle1711]

She studies the lyrics hard. Practice, practice, practice make her perfect. I bet she listens to the originals over and over again until it become part of her and then once she is satisfied she kicks it out of the park. Her hard work at her age just amazes me. Just amazing. She is a excellent example for other kid to look up to and I bet all of her friends at school do to just that. I say it gain that her parents did such a great job with her. I can't wait until we see what direction her little sister goes. You can see the love between her and her little sister. Her little sister really looks up to her.

[@mrpeppery]

People talk a lot about her immense talent, and rightfully so. But not enough is said about the hard work and dedication this little (and now not so little) person has put into her craft. Talent is the seed. Her wonderful home is the soil. Hard work is the water and her beautiful personality is sunlight. Hmmm... maybe this is why she often has flowers on her head. :D

I have seen this rehersal rendition probably moe than 30 times nd I could be listening to this thousand times more and it would be like the first time, so much beauty only Angelina

[@jacquespicotte8886]

What I find the funniest is that Angelina is not happy with the fast tempo chosen by the director and his band, whereas I thought they was doing just fine. Another funny thing for me is to watch the way Angelina expresses her frustration. Another one: when she indicates that the words you smile apply also to people who are watching her. The last funny thing: the way she calls desperately for help. May I say that Angelina is perfectionist, and rightly so!

[@billmichealoff9549]

[@PatStone3]

Angelina is 10 yrs old here. Her knowledge of music and her voice is so clearly evident in this video. She knows what she wants, when the music is too loud, she has someone tone it down until she’s satisfied with both the volume and composition. Brilliant! Today is her 16th Birthday, join me in wishing her a very Happy Birthday.

[@tomwhite4736]

sorry to be pedantic but my math tells me ANGELINA was still only 8 ,but I was never good at math, if I'm correct what a difference just a few months have made , from NGT,more teeth and a good deal taller.and the body language is hilarious.

[@callyb54]

You can clearly see Angelina's frustration with the band. If they or the conductor were 'listening' to her, they would have followed her tempo. They probably thought they knew best....what does a little girl know! Their tempo was much too fast! Angelina knew just how she wanted it to sound! Good on her and her family. The third time round definitely sounded better! ❤🌹

I would love to know--did she at 8 years old slow the band down the second time or was it someone else's direction. That frustration was highly evident from the start. Just amazing how at that age she just KNOWS

[@frankyella2885]

priceless her frustration at 01:59 and then the nod at 3:17

[@DonaldLancon]

Of course she knows: she's the one singing. (!) She'd probably sung along with the Etta James recording many, many times before this. The second take closely matches the tempo of that recording.

[@mrpeppery]

@@DonaldLancon Yes, and the third take was still a bit slower. In fact, even the third was still a touch slower than Etta James. And Beyonce's tempo is identical to Etta's. The expression was just priceless. But it's really not a big deal. A 7 y/o girl telling the orchestra to get their act together, that's what rehearsals are for!

[@mrpeppery]

@@frankyella2885 00:50 and (especially) 1:00 are my favourite moments.

[@stefanopratola6314]

She exactly knows everything about what she wants and what is all about! Just look at this rehearsal where she answered the pianist upon his question on which version to play: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJvFhIeIpNOke7c Geir Stian Aaslund translation The conversation at the start. Angelina: "Then we take the Ella version" Pianist:"The Ella version?" A:"Yes" Pianist:" ???Why do you say that????" A:"Because now you played the Ella version!!" Pianist:" Right? Did I? Ok. Thanks!" making the rest of the band laughing at him 😄 Just by a couple of chords, she knows exactly what version it is.... Or this one where she says to the trumpeter which tone to use in the beginning @0:49" and the tempo at the end (@2:12" when she says "lang, lang"). kzbin.info/www/bejne/eITQXqKDnLt2pZo And this, since ever!!!

[@roarkarlsen1584]

Amazing

[@thierrymoore8016]

All this gives me the bizarre impression of an extremely talented child fighting against adults who think they know more than she does but are wrong. She knows more. Except for the pianist who follows her carefully, the others do their thing as if they were the stars of the show. The intro is too long, the tempo too fast and the sound too strong. It must be hard on the musicians' egos to be lead by an 8-year-old. A true professional.

[@robertpalmer9831]

It got slower and slower and better and better. AJ had better breath control than the horn players, but she whipped the into shape by the end. Their intonation improved on the last take as well. This was so cool to watch. Musical artistry at work.

[@angelrobles8419]

una genia estaban tocando en un tono muy alto y ella estaba muy molesta y se corrigió

[@AussieBrit]

What REALLY bugs me is that in almost every video I have watched of hers, the music overwhelms her voice, I just wonder why?

[@DonaldLancon]

That happens a lot when you record live music (with a single mic). You don't perceive it the same way if you're there in person because of additional directional auditory cues that are not well replicated in a recording, even a stereo one. The effect is similar to picking out a single voice in a noisy, crowded room: much easier to do in person than on a recording (or when using a hearing aid). That's why audio engineers are paid the big bucks…

[@AussieBrit]

@@DonaldLancon Okay. My son plays bass in his band and I have watched many "live" videos of theirs, yet, the vocalist is never "drowned" out in this way. I'll take your word for it though. Cheers.
