Hidden Gem! Arab Man Reacts to Angelina Jordan - Wicked Game

[@dr.michaelr.foreman2170]

I am a content creator. I can either use a compressor or a noise cancelling. for the same affect. Actually, I prefer noise cancelling over a compressor. If this was in her home and not an isolated studio booth, there would be good reason to block out noise from her mom's kitchen or fans, etc. There is the option that the person (fan) who copied the video added his own nuance to suit him and had nothing to do with her.

[@ArabManReacts]

ohhh super valid point! Pinning this for others. thanks for the info!

[@dr.michaelr.foreman2170]

@@ArabManReacts I say that because, I went and researched the video that was done/made by the fan. They state on the intro that "they" audio enhanced the video. So, the sound was definitely bastardized by the fan and not by our Angel Angelina.

[@DonaldLancon]

@@dr.michaelr.foreman2170 Actually, no, the audio of the song is pretty much exactly as it was posted by Angelina's family on her Fanclub Mosarz channel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/op-mk5aXbr-IeJo kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGGsfqRqZ5WshtE Of course, Sune added the wave sounds and much of the imagery, but the audio was largely untouched.

[@ryanjacob3338]

@@dr.michaelr.foreman2170 Or potentially made better, think the original is long gone. 🤷‍♂️I read a while back it was from an Instagram post, both the bit of video we get of her, and the full audio I think. Or at least the bit with video.

[@elmarwinkler6335]

Dear Dr. Foreman, you are correct for many reasons, but I remembered another reason, why they might have "filtered out" noise. Her little sister Juliette at age 6. Kids. at this age might be loud sometimes, especially whem mom forbidds them to be loud as sister Jordan (angelina was caled jordan at home) was experimenting with songs at a Saturday. You, sir be healthy and enjoy life. Sincerely, Elmar from Germany

It's Angelina ,she could sing into a bucket and it would sound great 👍

[@ryanjacob3338]

Yup 😥 I think it's some sort of deep in the gut thing that helps you ride that line singing, of a little deep quivery emotional note that feels like it's maybe going to break, maybe going to cry, whatever that is. God she's amazing ❤. Thanks AMR, love your reactions to our incredible kid.

[@BigAngieFan808]

What a great reaction! This is one of her “I think I’ll just sit down here and put out a masterpiece” songs; just her in her music corner on the piano. Awesome.

[@elmarwinkler6335]

IMHO, this is how this song should be sung. Elmar from Germany

[@adriaanrijllart5213]

The first time I heard this I thought she captured the emotions of the song perfectly. On the 2nd, she made me feel every note deep inside me. I’ve heard it many times now, it’s unbelievable what she does and the effect it has on me. Her tone and little rasp at the beginning of words, her “with you” …. Talent is not the right word anymore. She’s totally out of any scale or measure. AJ is exceptional in so many ways ❤

[@annc9660]

super thanks for a great video and reaction/comments.

[@rw716]

First time I heard this song by her, I initially thought I'm not too sure about her doing this, but she sent chills right up my spine and changed my mind! Man, so simple and yet so haunting....Crazy good! Wow!

[@geoffreynorth9046]

Wonderful attempt to describe Angelina's indescribable vocals :)

[@McDevittMike]

The beauty of this song is it's simplicity. It's just emotion, and Angelina captures it perfectly .

[@janinemommsen]

Absolutely just Hauntingly Beautiful, there's no other that can do what She does with Her voice. Nice one Boudy.

[@user-wf9py1es9z]

Hauntingly beautiful!

[@kentovewagenes1141]

That video is stunning 👍 So beautiful made video ❤️ Big props to the video maker 👍 Beautiful song aswell 👍 The original video of the song is also beautiful ❤️ Remember to have a crush on Helena Christensen because of that one, when I was much younger 🤣❤️

[@BarrySowder]

This is definitely in my top 10 favorites of all of Angelina's works! I absolutely love it!❤

[@keithserafy]

Haunting & mesmerizing are the words that come to mind when I listen to this. She said she just wanted to see what she could do with this song, so 12 yo Angelina sat down at her keyboard with her Neuman mic & began to play/sing, while Grandma Mery hit "record!" Another Masterpiece, Imo.

[@jollyo9276]

👣Angelina released this short video we see of herself playing the piano on insta. Grandma then released the audio of the full song on YT allong with a lot of great still-fotos of young Angelina. Some of us had a really hard time 😮😵‍💫 trying to absorb both, - those wonderful pictures - AND the incredible voice of Angelina and her take on the song. I did say before, that this song must have been written for Angelina to sing, we just didn`t now until she released her version of it back in 2019 👣 🤗

[@anitaherbert1037]

Her ability to do that is why I loved BORN TO DIE her Lana Del Rey cover.

[@necitasbasila113]

Love this one💗💗💗

[@mburkitt7678]

Silence is so powerful in storytelling, and Angelina is the best I have seen at incorporating silence into her music. Many times she just chills at the mic, smiling and waiting for the right time to deliver the next phrase. She knows what she is doing.

[@John-fk3rv]

I remember hating this song when it came out, after I heard it 10 times a day, everyday, on every radio station, and music television station, forever, it seemed like. I was 16 or 17 maybe. It is a hauntingly beautiful song, and I actually Love it. Esp when AJ sings it. And I for one really appreciate the explanations about compressors and reverbs, etc...I don't understand all of that stuff, but I want to. Thank you for the crash course

[@chaddy-me-boy8299]

Nice to share AJ Mondays with Boudy and everyone who connects with AJ’s singing of songs. 🤜

[@edwardmoran110]

I love your reactions and explanations of Angelina's vocals. You own passion of her music makes your reactions outstanding!

[@madelaca4589]

The original audio and Angelina playing the piano were taken from Angelina's grandma Mery's KZbin channel "Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz" (another hidden gem) and put together by Sune Amtoft and his colaborators in such a wonderful, even cinematic way♥ Thanks for reacting to this "hidden gem"! It's a gem in every sense of the word. Angelina's interpretation is so haunting, so emotional, it truly pierces your heart and transports you to a magic world, IMO. ♥ She's a true prodigy but mainly in the way she translates her unique sensitivity and grasp of music to her voice! 🥰

[@peterhormell1511]

Wonderful, enlightening reaction and analysis Boudy. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us. I can’t think of a cover where Angelina didn’t “…own the heck” out of it. 🖤👣

[@joanburnley6244]

How can you bare to wait a week to hear another song from Angelina ,

[@williamchristensen4655]

Thanks for such a great reaction. To me this cover is one of her absolute best. After hearing this the first time I went and found a Chris Issak music video to watch. I feel that Angelina's version, sitting quietly at home, playing the piano, brings total clarity and emotion to the lyrics in a way I didn't feel while watching the Issak version. Angelina's slow cadence and emotional delivery of the lyrics is extraordinary and conveys the true meaning of the song as only she can.

[@toddstacey6385]

What a heartwarming post... I would like to add to that, Angelina performs in 5 Dimension Reality, her vibration is high. Also, her soul is singing with her. ❤️❤️❤️ YESHUA CREATED SOMETHING VERY BEAUTIFUL.

[@dagmarmrogers1]

This performance makes my heart ache. Also, I'm going through some stuff right now. Maybe that's why. Don't know how she does this to me. As an audio engineer for over 40+ years, no one has done to me what she does to me. Every time, her voice just consumes my being. No matter the tempo. Thank you, Boudy, for this great reaction.

The vocal choices Angelina makes are instinctive, straight from musical heaven. For her, it is all about telling the story and conveying the emotions the song was meant to have.

[@brentravnsborg2782]

Full body chills whenever I hear this song from AJ. Thx Boudy.

[@PoussinNoNeko]

This rendition is really something special. She's the only artist who translated the song in the way is was intended to be: melancholic, carrying some madness and despair.

[@quantockbeech]

This performance is a classic example of Angelina's ability at this age. Lifting the emotion out of lyrics, often slowing them down so she can wring the last drop out. Way off the charts.

[@clemson1889]

I loooove Angelina and have been following her for years and a die hard vocal jazz fan. But I hope that her album (not EP) will include some pieces that display the other genres that she sings equally as wonderful as her jazz pieces.

[@stevenhambek846]

❤🫶 your comments

[@rogercarriere4756]

What an incredible talent. She can do anything with her voice and her artistic choices are brilliant. Boudy for the umpteenth time please listen to her cover of the James Brown classic « It’s A Man World » live in concert. There are 2 versions one audio only in 2018 at the Kongsberg Jazz Festival and another one video/audio also in 2018 with the Forsvarets Stabsmusikkorps.

[@boscobeans]

No matter how many times I hear and see this amazing performance it breaks me up totally.

[@ClaudioMarcucci7756]

Thank again Boudy, for another wonderful reaction. This version of Angelina takes your soul and makes you look inside yourself, her slow, smoky, sweet, intimate tones kidnap you and make you lose the sense of time. Her voice is so emotional it leaves you like a log on the beach after a storm, but it's also so sweet! For me the best version I've heard of this song, she completely captures the pain of the lyrics, more much that original version. Even though she is little more than a child, she has the ability to read songs in an incredible way, everything about her that always amazes you, every time she manages to find a new reading key, that no one has had before her. My soul absolutely loves her. 💛🧡❤

[@jimdonaldson3277]

An amazing critique. Thank You. In doing what she must do, Angelina has enriched our lives with her incomparable catalog.

[@rogerwolstenholme2710]

The story goes that she's at home and said she was going to do some work on this song, and went to her music corner in the living room, which is why its compressed to keep out the sounds of the rest of the house... Neuman mics are very sensitive... she produced this song { grandma took the vid } then, when she had finished, she went outside to play on the Swings with her little Sister Juliette... I guess that's what a genius does..... And me.. I just sit here with my mind in bits. lol..... 12yo !!

[@Helen-vb7pv]

[@vilmariedavila6558]

Love it! 😅

[@SeanBressie]

Angelina is the absolute best at using negative space (the lack of vocals) in her Artistry. She slows things down, let's the vocal Breathe, has total confidence in the development of her craft, and allows us to experience her journey regardless of polish. This pure talent is what keeps her within earshot every single day. 🎶👣👸💫🌹😍💎🎶

[@capstan50g]

This cover is a great example of why I'm an Angelina fan. She has one of the greatest voices on the planet and a technical toolkit as big as my auto mechanic's, but there are other singers with the same advantages. What sets Angelina apart is the way she hears and imagines and understands a song. It's her artistry. Great reaction, Boudy! I love the production notes, by the way.

[@leechap3]

As usual Angelina captures the essence of an iconic song perfectly without showing off or over-singing it. It's never about her, it's always about the music.

[@lindastrauss8206]

So glad you got to Wicked Game at last. I knew that quaver would get to you.

[@johnvasi]

It’s not just that Angelina knocks us out with her covers of famous songs. It’s that even as a very young child she has the musicality and confidence to take these songs her own way. She covers some of the most famous singers in the past 70 or 80 years singing their best songs. Angelina respects the original as always, but her interpretation of the lyrics gives us an entirely new way to love those iconic songs that we thought were untouchable.

[@mikehaun5690]

So true, johnvasi. Angelina doesn't do 'easy'. She was singing Adele songs at 5 and 6.

[@alberttenfoot]

Hi, Boudy. Thank you for another excellent reaction to Angelina. This performance of the song went straight to the top of my playlist when it was uploaded by Angelina's grandmother, Mery Zamanion her KZbin channel Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz and has never left the Top 10.. The videos - two of them - included changing images of Angelina, which I found very distracting. Fortunately, Sune Amtoft, an Angelina fan and very talented graphics artist, created the video you have just watched. It captures the emotions of the lyrics very well, and I like the symbolism of the strong heart drawn in the sand, which the water obliterates at the end.

[@RichardBourne]

Albert it was the creative artistry of Sune production and the depth of Ms. Jordan's musicality that so profoundly affected my emotional inner life. Art in its highest form. Rb

[@larsm2001]

I totally dig when people discover this awesome gem - great reaction btw.

[@RichardBourne]

There are some things that should not be forewarned against, but rather to be experienced in the moment. This song, by this person, at this moment, is one of those things. A sound to drive deep into the hearts of all of us, and to linger there and invade our dreams. Rb

[@TheBlaster54]

Boudy, You clearly have the technical acumen to describe how the technology affects the performance. However, what attracts me to your reactions is the fact that you have the same profound emotional reaction to every little nuance emanating from Angelina’s vocal chords that I and countless other angels do. IMO, The only way to listen to Angelina is with your heart.

[@dsgp7835]

Angelina's interpretation of this great song is amazing. Her performance is equal to the original. Actually knowing this is from a young girl who's probably never felt this emotion before makes it better than the original. Angelina is beyond amazing, she's savant.

👣Truely the way to tell a story; - to really feel the story you sing as well. AND make every one else to be set into that same emotional place, trembeling and even shivering from emotions 👣 I must say, I never felt this way from this song before I heard this "version". To me this IS now this song. Thank`s again Boudy. Alot. I`ve been waiting for you to reach to this one 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 BTW Boudy, if you`d want to see grandma`s original upload you do a YT surch - Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz Wicked game Her channel content is tons of great videos and fun moments.

And as always - Thank you Sune for creating this wonderfull video. Love it, you know 🧡❤

[@RachelDacusAuthor]

Fascinating explanation of how Angelina creates that heartbreaking quality in this song! In the way Chris Isaak does too. Her fragility is more tender, less with that twang Chris uses to such great effect. Angelina's is a more serious version, I think. More heart-wrenchng. (I'm a big Chris Isaak fan too, not making a value judgment here.) Thanks for another great AJ Monday!

[@LindaAnn1]

[@hu._-]

A young girl sitting with a keyboard in a corner of her house and little to no post processing puts out a song comparable to a major studio produced hit.. just another day in her life.. accept that's the way it is but will never understand...

[@josephstimpfl4594]

Notice how the piano or keyboards are played with the same hesitancy as her singing. Almost like she is unsure of her playing. Clearly an artistic choice. She is such a sweet demure young lady...until she performs. Then it is a mature artist connecting the song to us. Scintillating.

Lets see if i have memorized it just right: Salam Aleykum,and "Habbi Bathday!" (Im only messing) I will forever hear "Happy birthday",i think its because of the tone its said in lol. But i think i defintly memorized Salam Aleykum well/okay by now! Angelina is not afraid to "attack" any classic,powerful song made with her love and her own take on it. Im not sure enough people are aware of how gutsy you have to be,to be taking on all these songs,knowing who they belong to,and how many people that LOVES the original,and how many will probably not look lightly upon someone covering it. I have been there often myself,there are some songs you just dont touch in my eyes,because noone else can do the song justice but the original creator(s). But im not being mean if i dislike a cover,but many people will be. Thats why im beyond impressed with Angelina,way waaay above her musical skills and talents. The personality absolutely matches the skills and talents she possesses. I also got alot of Lana Del Rey vibes from this cover (and we know Angelina loves Lana Del Rey)

[@DonaldLancon]

It sounds to me like the reverb effect was simply set to be more noticeable for the louder parts than the softer, as opposed to being applied uniformly at all volumes, and that's why it's not noticeable at the end of the lines. This is similar to how her live "Summertime" vocal was treated on _Norske Talenter_ [Norway's Got Talent]: the louder parts, particularly when she sang an "ah" vowel sound ("And your MA is good-lookin'"), had significantly more reverb on them than the rest of her vocal.
