Angelina Jordan Reactions A-Z #97 Version 1: "Smile." New Discovery!

[@BigAngieFan808]

This is mainly a reaction to the newly released full version of this song, not the short snippet of it that had been available earlier. My original version of the description did not make that clear..

[@agb994]

Beautiful rendition of this song, so touchy and smooth. Great thanks

[@richardtrammell1442]

It is so nice that she adds her voice to a tribute like that.... she brings such emotion to what she does and it is wonderful!

[@AXZ9340MB]

In the TV program "The View" (2014) in the USA ,the Presenter asked her "What do you like to do for fun"?, she said "singing " ,In fact she did realy mean it; in all the sense of the word.There is not even one rendition where she does not deserves admiration.Is so fascinating and impeccable that makes her UNIQUE.

[@hegesophieborgersen5868]

Love her version of Smile. One of the most beautiful songs in the world. ❤

[@rogercarriere4756]

WOW! Thanks Chris that’s a wonderful discovery...since I listen to Angelina in that clip I can’t stop humming lalalala... I love this girl. You are right someone must bring the original to light

[@CarlD70]

OMG, is there nothing more beautiful than the voice of an Angel singing that song. Only hope that a full length soundtrack of the Documentary comes out for us to hear. Simply mesmerizing.

[@mariangelamattosgrosso237]

OMG! I love her voice, beautiful, beautiful and beautiful! This music is so beautiful too...Thanks for this video and for your reaction. 👼👣🌟⚘👏👏👏

[@js33412]

OMG, what a gem. That is the most beautiful rendition of Smile I have ever (in my 81 years) heard. Thank you so much for unearthing this wonderful recording. As you say, it would be great if someone can find the original one.

[@keithserafy]

Thanks Chris for this beautiful song by Angelina. This lay-back, smooth version is so emotional, you close your eyes & I feel like I'm floating on a cloud. How does she do that?

[@RedAlert47]

Her voice is just lovely. Far away or not, just fabulous.

[@steenthorse8579]

What a great reaction ... 👍 So emotional to listen to this song .. how is it possible that she can do this to me every time .. I Have a smile on my face and tears in my eyes and a feeling of peace and gratitude .. to Rita Weltevreden so sad to hear of your situation I will pray for you God bless you and heal you

[@ritaweltevreden5596]

My sentiments exactly! I am battling stage IV ovarian cancer and heard from my oncologist yesterday that my bone marrow can’t handle the maintenance medication I am on right now. What keeps me going is listening to Angelina singing this song...over and over and over again. No matter what she sings she always makes me feel better but this song in particular. Thanks for sharing. X

[@RobertDeMartin]

Chris, I saw your comments and I understand your reaction. I, too, think the lalala and humming are sensational moments but the overriding point I was making is that Smile is a classic song and if Angelina has an opportunity to sing it in it's entirety it will become something never to be forgotten. The emotion generated in her version is off the charts.

[@BigAngieFan808]

I would certainly love to hear a complete version!

[@Chidvilas-Jyoti]

@@BigAngieFan808 Me too!!!!

[@robertcarlson2807]

Chris, I am a mess right now. Throughout my whole life, whenever I have heard someone sing “Smile”, I tear up. But now, hearing Angelina’s version, I am sitting here like a blubbering idiot because it is the most beautiful, emotional, heart-tugging version of it I have ever heard. As much as I would love to hear her do a complete recording of it, I don’t know if I could stand it. Can something be so beautiful that it is too much to bear??

[@todradmaker4297]

I'm right there with you, Robert, this is one of my favourite songs. Ever since I heard that short bit from her recording this I've dreamed of hearing the entire song. I really wish I could get a clean version of this song so I could play it every night.

[@RobertDeMartin]

Amazing. Because she's already in our hearts it only takes mere seconds to set us off. I've been singing this song to myself for my entire life and I believe it is the first song I memorized all the lyrics. And, to hear Angelina sing it like no one else in the world, well, like you, I just fall apart. In our lives if we have been lucky enough to experience true love, that is wonderful. The love we feel about Angelina is something that cannot be measured. How fortunate we are to see and listen to her sing to us. She has to record Smile in it's entirety so that all people, wherever they are from, can listen and enjoy this classic by Charlie Chaplin.

[@steenthorse8579]

Me too 😊

[@stephenevans6055]

love the way Angelina sings this , so touching

[@saritadugat3708]

She is just amazing. I love this style of music❤️

[@lydiabentley3413]

Even though it was short it was truly beautiful. I enjoyed your reaction and you said some very lovely things which shows your passion for Angela as an artist

[@pontusosterlin1966]

Thank you for this beautiful reaction 🙏 I teared up once again 🥲 and thanks for the mention 💕 Great that you included her recording session. I noticed that it is quite a bit slower in tempo than the version they used in the documentary.

[@brucecumming8803]

Beautiful and Egil Clausen on guitar, what more could you ask for.

[@patriciasepulveda1264]

What a find! Thank you for sharing. I hope you do get the original recording .. I don't care if she's humming or la-la-la-ing ... it is beautiful to hear. THANKS AGAIN.

[@leebrn8588]

TRIBUTE TO ANGELINA "you are loved! Not just a little bit, but a lot Not just for today, but forever Not just by anyone, but by the one who created you with love!

[@eddiebowes6137]

Thanks for bringing us another gem!

[@izzyboot9408]

I think you should just let the whole dedication version just play thru without interrupting or altering the volume , because you can hear her humming in the background in that part as the vocals play over ..it is a dedication that she has done the vocal track to. ... it’s sung in a context ... .. I think it’s a marvellous dedication clip for Hansen, not to mention an absolutely beautiful rendition by Angelina .

[@claudest-gelais8456]

Told you you'd love it :) The la-la-la part is sooooo intoxicating!!!

[@kristena9285]

Wonderful! Thank You :-)

[@stillracer2514]

Thanks for this. I had not heard either version before.

[@ridgemanron]

If Republic Records ever releases an album dedicated to these emotionally provoking songs, they should include a box of tissues with each one they sell. Much of the public listening to an album in this genre will definitely feel tears welling up and dripping from their eyes.

[@leebrn8588]

Heck, We have been waiting for a album ever since AGT Champions, I had even hoped or a Christmas album, I'm going to have "It's Magic" worn out.

[@kevinwong4126]

Thanks for your sharing. I like it so much

[@RobertDeMartin]

Chris, I meant to send this to you a 100 times but here it is. Andre Rieu had as a guest on one of his remarkable shows, Jermaine Jackson (Michael's brother) and he sang Smile. Maybe you have seen it already. If you haven't, you MUST watch it. Chris, I don't know it you can make a video of it. But, even if you can't, please listen to it on your own time. We both love this song so much and our desire is for Angelina to sing the whole song. If it comes out anything like this video with Jermaine, oh my goodness!

[@BigAngieFan808]

Thank you; I will check it out..

[@makobasila4350]

WONDERFUL....❤❤❤

[@alecpetrossian7459]

I just love it she is exceptional list to her since little.

[@peterstadelmeier]

great song it is unbelievable how many emotions she brings out of lalala no one else can

[@janenorris6113]

Great find. Thank you so very much.

[@andyschnell58]

Many thanks once again Chris for reacting to these lesser seen videos. Beautiful vocals indeed!! In my younger days, I often did racing doubleheaders, going to the thoroughbreds in the afternoon at Belmont, then the standardbreds (harness racing) at Roosevelt Raceway. Each year, Roosevelt would host the International Trot and most years there would be at least one horse entered from Norway. I imagine the Norwegians love their harness racing but certain they love Angelina even more.

[@johnkerr3266]

I don't want to hear your opinions I just want to hear the music

[@donaldrennick2273]

Thnx, Chris!

[@RobertDeMartin]

Chris, I can't help. I cry like a baby every time....

[@jacquesrc1617]

Wonderful ! Thanks Chris !

[@ClaudioMarcucci7756]

Chris, Angelina's voice in these two short recordings, with the second accompanying her beautiful images, is so calm, deep and enveloping that it's like drinking a gorgeous hot rum punch on a winter's evening, it warms you up inside and out and while simultaneously exalting you. I adore her voice infinitely! 🤗 ❤️ If you use this version it has been cleaned up by lowering the background items kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5ixnoOkbZ6Xbc0

[@lengould9262]

Nice discovery. Subscribed.

[@jwichman9]

Thanks for this treasure Chris!

[@deniseperryman2814]

Well Chris as I’ve already said I think Republic Records need to get Angelina in the studio and get this recorded it’s just to beautiful for it to get past by I’d love her to realise it Love 💕 from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿💖👼👼👸🏻👸🏻🦶🦶👏👏😘XXXX

[@doritagonzalez6710]

Hermosaaaa no conozco otra niña con su voz y su gran humildad nos lleva al pasado ¡QUE BELLA! ANGELINA 😇🦶🦶💯💯💥❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@luzrojas6006]

Un Angel. Por favor , que vos y siempre salia descalsa alguien que me diga porque lo hacia , donde y que hace actualmente cuantos años tiene ahorita de un tiempo para aca e estado viendo los videos desde que era chiquita toda umilde y dulce bella niña🤚

[@jeans3030]

That is so beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@HS-ol4zl]

You always have the most beautiful pics of Angelina. Where do you find them?

[@BigAngieFan808]

Mostly on Facebook!

[@davidmathews2124]

So...your “cover photo”? Since when did she get so darn beautiful. She is absolutely stunning. Is this makeover following her signing the big recording contract?

[@leebrn8588]

It is hard to believe she is only 15 in that picture, She looks like a 25 year old model, or movie star. And it is a classic beauty like Audrey Hepburn, or Grace Kelly, or Princess Diana. And what makes it even harder to believe is I saw her back in 2014 when she was just a little tyke maybe 4 ft. tall with missing teeth at her audition. God has certainly blessed her in many ways.

[@Rio-by1eh]

One of the most top voices out there...

[@luisjork1771]

You are one of my favorite commenters. Thank you.

[@davidmathews2124]

Hey, I just noticed that I have the same shirt that you’re wearing. Pretty darn incredible, eh?

[@JABARDELLI]

Thanks Chris ... however, that photo of the female at the end of this clip is not Angelina Jordan.

[@BigAngieFan808]

It definitely is her, taken right from her Instagram account.

[@alipanroosendaal9503]

Chris - I find myself regularly going down the AJ rabbit hole. I ask myself if I am becoming obsessed. This leads me to ponder the bigger question: Is this ultimately about my need for an obsession, rather than the artist in question (?)

[@oddbjrnvullum3914]

☺️ I asked myself this question about if I had become obsessed with her. I didn't watch at KZbin much, before this girl. I'm mostly in to rock, like AC-DC(for 36 years and still counting🤘) but Angelina gives me something unexplainable. I've watched and listened to her for so many hours now. She is just outstanding. She gives me chills, tears in my eyes, makes me proud of her and so on. My conclusion is to just enjoy 🤩

[@alipanroosendaal9503]

@@oddbjrnvullum3914 That I find odd the "feeling proud of her". I do not have that. I admire her work and it can be occasionally inspiring. However, the central point I was making was that, were it not AJ, would I simply find another rabbit hole to explore, because I require something to obsess over (?)

[@oddbjrnvullum3914]

I forgot to mention it, but I'm Norwegian, and been following her since NGT, when she was 7-8 years. Her voice and the way she makes you feel the songs is what separate her from other singers. Many people can sing well, incredible belts and very powerful, but mostly they don't create feelings in you when they perform . Watching her evolution from then to now, makes me feel like I know her somehow, and that's what make me feel proud.

[@oddbjrnvullum3914]

What I also meant to say, was that I don't think you find this package in any other rabbithole ☺️ I've never been very found of jazz, but when it comes from Angelina....🥰

[@squidkid2]

I would take a minute of Angelina singing over a lifetime of most other singers.

[@audebausier2881]

Ma belle Angelina 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

[@cyprianuslilikk.p.7937]

Have you listen to "Song for A"? Her best song for me.

[@elsemariestrangesen8608]

Tak for smilet 👍😘

[@laurenfrickman7141]

Thank you

[@fredneecher1746]

Dammit! She got to me again. I never liked this song before, but now . . . Sorry, tearing up here.

[@firemedic5100]

It is easy to hear the jazz style she is famous for.

[@leebrn8588]

firemedic5100 Angelina is a Jazz Goddess. She will go down in history as one of the all time Jazz greats. But she can do much, much more with that magnificent , versatile, smoky, raspy, voice. As the lady said to her after her audition at Norway's talent contest "You have been blessed with a gift from a Higher Power" and she pointed up.

[@Manyanababy]

❤️❤️❤️

[@aigorsrogi66nfj75]

this song pulling me up from deepest oblivion

[@royjohansen7472]

👍🙂❤️

[@robertbruce1533]

Angelina Jordan was kind enough to add the lyrics I wrote for this song at the very end.

[@kerrythomas6220]

She looks so much like Elvis Presley in that picture, it’s scary!

[@piotrblachnicki5598]

That picture at 2:30, wow.

[@jacsonsmith3030]

❤️

[@sisselfan]

You should make a reaction video of Norwegian singer Sissel. Her voice will take your breath away. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHmUkohtj7qXsNk

[@yiuqwfj]

when was this recorded?

[@BigAngieFan808]

Early 2019

[@davidlook8888]

😀

[@vanford3443]

Poker player? I think it was the horse racing?

[@snfow]

Guess you hav heard, Song for A

[@BigAngieFan808]

Yes, review coming soon

[@adolfojoseacevedovogl8699]

The enhanced versión: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5ixnoOkbZ6Xbc0

[@musicluvr70]

Yep, best version so far, as far as length and clarity, in my opinion.
