FINALLY!!! It's a Man's World - Angelina Jordan | REACTIOn

[@MichaelAmis-te2md]

This was at the 200th anniversary of The Staff Band of the Norwegian Armed Forces (Forsvarets Stabmusuikkorps) concert! Angelina at 12 years old with a commanding stage presence! Her vocals are immaculate especially when you hear a live performance and this was from a cellphone as no other cameras were allowed! This entire concert was outstanding and the songs are from her album It’s Magic! She knocked this out of the park, what a professional! See the respect the band gives her. There are numerous behind the scene videos of her rehearsals with the band and they actually did some special things for her 12th birthday! 🇳🇴🇺🇸

[@duanejohnson6271]

They gave her that very special microphone that she still sometimes uses today. It is a Neumann TLM 103 Condenser Microphone. Many of her best covers were made using that gifted microphone from Staff Band of the Norwegian Armed Forces.

[@johnwriter267]

​@@duanejohnson6271 They actually gave her a TLM 102 as a birthday present. Then she switched to a 103 a couple of years later. They're very similar mics. The 102 is smaller with bright finished "collar". The 103 is a little larger with a satin finished collar. She sometimes uses the 103 with a suspension mount. If you go back and check her old videos, you can see the difference. But, you do have to look close... Much was written about her holding the 102 backwards when she 1st got it. But, shes also held the 103 backwards as well on 2 or 3 occasions. She must have her reasons. They're both clearly directional mics...😊

[@jeffreyyenior9757]

This was the performance that told me she is the best vocalist in the world.

[@lutobravodaniel2189]

Yes yes yes!!!!Absolutely!!!!

[@johnvasi]

What I love about this performance (aside from her unbelievable vocals and respect for James Brown) is the utter disconnect between the soaring belts, power, and technique-and her complete physical relaxation. Angelina is gently swaying with the rhythm while she’s destroying the conductor and the audience. She is in absolute control here-at 11 or 12, I think. Angelina gives us perfect authenticity for another genre. I think other singers ask themselves if they can perform the version that’s in their head. Angelina knows that even her incredible arrangements like this one are no worries. And she’ll sing it similarly, but differently, the next time-no problem.

[@Bustefaen]

Agreed. Alhough I am always gobsmacked by this particular performance, my favorite is actually the one from her performance at the Kongsberg Jazz Festival at approximately the same time. Just a personal preference, they are both incredible for any performer, any age.

[@SeanBressie]

​@@Bustefaen I have to agree for a listening only experience. Unfortunately, it is believed to be only available solely in Audio. This Audio/Video version is so damn good though. You can always tell when a reactor is paying attention when they see the conductor's reaction to that epic note,

[@grahamkelsey1675]

@@Bustefaen yeah, that's the one you play in the car...mind boggling from a twelve year old

[@richardgleason5953]

12 years old and recorded with a cell phone. UNBELIEVABLE.

[@keithserafy]

This concert was the album release concert for their album, "It's Magic," recorded over 2 days in Nov 2017 (11 yo) & released June 2018 (12 yo). The conductor knew what to expect from her rehearsals & from recording the album, but he didn't know what to expect when she goes "live" with an audience & she turns on the afterburners! Remember the Prime Minister & the Monarchy declared Angelina Norway's National Treasure when she was 8 yo. I know the Prime Minister was there for the concert, since there are videos of her getting Angelina to sign her copy of the album. I'm not sure whether the Crowned Prince was there as well. Just another day at the office for AJ.

Boudy, I am 72 years old and I wait very patiently for Monday to listen to your Reactions to Angelina Jordan, I Love starting the week with You and Her but I suggest you do a Friday Reaction of Angelina so we can end our week with Her also. Don't know how many more Mondays I have and you are never going to get through all Her accomplishments doing Monday only ❤.

[@sverregylseth6095]

❤ I second that, as I’m also 72. 😅

[@andyschnell58]

Boudy, I fully agree a child should not be able to understand the meaning of mature songs, or able to convey the proper emotions but Angelina did it song after song after song. I believe at first listen to a song, she understands the story and instantly knows how to put her own spin on it and in my opinion, usually making it better.

[@hannuhedman5882]

I haven't heard ever anything that even comes close to this performance from so young singer as Angelina was here. And very rarely even from adult singers.

[@beachbumseaglass]

Out of pure curiosity, what adult performance would match this ? 🤷🏻‍♂️

And then we have "Cry me a river" from the same consert. Just as amazing. This band and Kork are two of Norways most respected orchestras. Both of them took young Angelina under their wings and as we saw here, they recognized and respects her talent.❤

[@michaelrogers7426]

This one and I’d Rather Go Blind are my two to show a listener that there is something extra-dimensional in our universe called Angelina Jordan. Great reaction noticing the band leader - she must have not shown him that in practice.

[@ridgemanron]

She takes this James Brown classic 'effortlessly' into the stratosphere. Then you listen to her go into a super low 'contnuous' register to perform 'How Great Thou Art', which not even Elvis sang in a continuous low register. I don't believe there has ever been a singer who could do something like this....................and the girl hasn't even reached adulthood yet.

[@jefdevries]

Finally! THE greatest masterpiece of Angelina. At 12 years!

[@krisamagus1]

I agree!

[@way2deep100]

This is the band with which Angelina shared credit for her album 'It's Magic', which was released when she was 12 and, in January 2020, briefly displaced Miles Davis at #1 on the iTunes Jazz Album Hot 100 chart.

[@kentovewagenes1141]

Absolutely phenomenal Angelina is so awesome, in 2018 I was visiting my brother who worked in Oslo, he was fortunate to enough to have tickets to see this concert,I had heard of Angelina before and knew she had won Norway Got Talent, so I was intrigued to see her live, When Angelina at 12 years old performed (It’s A Man’s World) she blew my mind with this performance, I’ve been a dedicated Angel ever since that day, I also attended both of Angelina’s Las Vegas concerts on the 29th February, Angelina’s stage presence was incredible her live performance phenomenal, I’m in ore of her amazing talent, she is so special and one of the most talented artists I’ve ever seen or heard, great reaction thanks 🙏

Dear Christopher - all wonderful words of yours to read. Gosh, what an experience to have been there to hear her for the first time singing this. I had to be at those 2 concerts in LV too. All so so extraordinarily lovely. j in nz

[@davidfehlman5150]

👍👍👍👍👍 When this first came out in 2018 was the first time I definitely decided that Angelina CAN and WILL take over the music industry some day,,, if anything she will be the first person that song writers will go to with their songs,,, 👣🌬🌎

[@ronjones1077]

This live concert happened right after they did an entire album snd every song from it was performed here. Right after this she moved to California. You really need to see the live concert from the summer before age 11. She is outstanding!

[@rogercarriere4756]

Finally! Thank you, you save my Monday, in fact you save my whole week. I told you…And now please, the next one from the same concert « Cry Me A River » you will be blown away again. The period of her 12 yo is quite remarkable in terms of vocal achievement.

[@ClaudioMarcucci7756]

Thank you Boudy, I infinitely love this interpretation of her. This is simply "A Young Girl World", absolutely! 💛🧡❤

[@quantockbeech]

You said it. Just look how relaxed she was too, totally in control as she plays with the song, showing it such attention and respect, like it's a favourite toy.

[@SteveAckerman-ly3qg]

Absolutely EPIC performance. The godfather of soul is likely smiling and glad to hand over the crown to the new goddaughter of soul, Miss Angelina Jordan only 12 years old. Love your stank face reaction, welcome to the crowd! Kills it and ends with a polite curtsy. The contrasts are just stunning. Agree this is quintessential Angelina😮😮❤❤.

[@AAndromeda-lw7fh]

...What a great tribute to the King of Soul!! ... James B. would be honored ... and speechless 😲!! ... Phenomenal!! 🔥💎🔥 Thank you

[@lesgray8709]

Angelina is so relaxed , giving this powerful rendition as though it's a walk in the park! Gently swaying from side to side, as cool as you like. On the other hand James Brown would have been gasping with sweat running down his face. Angelina had worked with the band for quite some time, but just for this performance the first clarinet got a little carried away with himself, starting a power contest with Angelina, she took the challenge and left him trailing... The thing that hit me was the reaction from Angelina at the end when the conductor got the band to stand, she looked around wondering why, the calmly put the mike back in the stand and gave a second curtsy. Simply mind blowing... Oh, ten days later she was opening the show at the Quincy Jones Birthday concert at the O2 arena in London, just another day in the office...

[@McDevittMike]

The band is the Norwegian Military staff band. Angelina recorded an album with them when she was about 11 or 12 (sorry, too lazy to look it up). They are a very respected orchestra. 😎

[@robertsilva631]

Angelina recorded the album at age 11 and performed the concert at age 12.

[@JaapFilius]

You are absolutely right with your "military": it is the staff brassband from the Norwegian army. They have done several collaborations with Angelina, including all instrumentals on one of her cd's. To me this is one of Angelina's very best performances ever (although she is always very special to listen and watch to anyway).

You're absolutely right. If we had to choose one Angelina Jordan video to introduce her to those who've never heard her before, it's this live rendition of "It's a Man’s World" when she was just 12 years old that must be shown among so many other remarkable ones. This absolutely gifted performer is breathtaking.

Just a walk in the park for Angelina. Incredible performance.

[@ckh57]

And Angelina has obviously practiced this with this Royal Norway band and still she shocks them to the core. It has been said that Angelina, when she rehearses with a band it is for them to get it right for her and she always holds something back for the live performance as demonstrated by the conductors shock and amazement at her ending prowess. She is the gift that is only unwrapped in her live performances.

[@Kagawongdog1]

Love this one and another live performance a must is "What a difference a day makes." 8 years old with back up singers!

[@madelaca4589]

I totally agree with you, Boudy! This is the perfect summary of Angelina's incredible voice, technical resources and musical sensibility, Live AND at 12 years old! I will never get tired of listening to this performance🥰 It's very endearing to see the difference between the moments she's singing and the moments she's not where she "reverts" to a 12 year-old attitude, hehe. P.S.: Always looking forward to your "Angelina Monday"! Love it!

[@charliemiller5831]

she melts me with that super quick and gentle line, "little baby girl and baby boy".... delivered soon after smashing out some lyrics like Mike Tyson hitting a heavy bag. She comes crashing at me like waves ... crash then quiet, crash then quiet... She toys with us.

I have enjoyed James Brown from his beginning to his end and I swear that he would be crying along with me if he was to see this performance. So raw that blood is still dripping from it. To alter a phrase from the wizard of oz, Nobody can compare to Angelina. Not nobody. Not no how. AMAZING.

[@Fred_Ettinger]

Great reaction to one of my favorite AJ covers. Boudy!! The same year as this concert with the Norwegian army orchestra, she also participated in a concert at a jazz festival. She is accompanied by a super good band, especially the guitar with a very nice little solo. The sound is much better but it's just audio. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5a4f5KjidWfZ6s Personally, I prefer this version, the music is less overwhelming and you can hear the different textures of his voice much better. I can't wait for her to focus once again on this emblematic piece. You will notice that the arrangement is different and that she adapted her interpretation and made different choices. Hello from Farance!

You tell me, how can you not love this girl?

[@richardvarnish8506]

I chuckled to myself hearing you say that this song should be 'the' song/video to show to other people because I wanted to tell you to do this right after 'I Put a Spell on You. I knew you would be bombarded right after you saw/heard that one, so I refrained, knowing you'd get to it at some point. Every Monday I've been hoping this was the day, so finally you've done it 😀.Wonderful version by Angelina. Makes me remember being in 8th-9th grade cafeteria, circa 1966, and me and my friends going nuts over the original James Brown version of this song that he'd just released. If you now want to see her, at about this same age, sing in the same low key as Elvis, try out 'How Great Thou Art' by Angelina. It's another one that leaves you just shaking your head with your jaw dropping.

We adore her so much but people in the music trade take it to an even higher level. They are in total awe of what she can do vocally and artistically especially when they consider her age (12 years old)! Boudy, when you get an opportunity to see her perform live it will go something like this. When she first appears on center stage, before she sings a note, everyone in the audience will be in tears or crying. People in the audience seeing or hearing her for the first time will be wondering, "What in the world is going on?" Well, by the end of the Concert they will understand. Not completely but they will be on their way to becoming full fledged 'angels'. Boudy, I say this often and I mean it with all my heart, she is truly a Messenger of Love.

Not just the 'stank face' from the conductor, but she literally rocked him backwards, catching himself before regaining balance. Boxer DREAM of landing a blow that does that. And what's incredible about this - he's been with Angelina for at least a year on various music, and they HAD to rehearse this for some time. He KNOWS what she can do but, obviously, she blew his expectations out.

[@emwa3600]

Along with nominating this one video, I'd also point out that THIS is one of the worst audio-quality video that we've had of AJ. Yet, you're right - this is THE ONE that does all of that.

[@arceliedunn2022]

Boudy! She is definitely stank face worthy with this song . I can't quite remember if you ever reacted to I'd Rather Go Blind , if you havn't , mate have a go . In my opinion, Queen B ( reigned for many years with this song ) was dethroned by our Priness of Jazz at the age of 12. Angelina ,sitting on her blue couch ,christening her brand new Neumann microphone (given to her by the Norwegian band that worked on her Its Magic Album_ could even be this band. You'd have to check with the Administrators ); and giving the song with more soul and grit than you've ever heard in your life. If I havn't said it already, thank you for championing our gal on channel. Keep up the great work 🙏💪

[@charlesallison146]

The way the conductor was caught off guard is impressive considering that he is quite familiar with her singing this song since she recorded it with this band before for their album " It's Magic" when she was 11 . I had heard that the band gifted her the Neumann microphone that she recorded so many of her songs at 12-13 yrs old.
