Angelina Jordan Reaction | "Bad Valentine" Jazz Version | She Tops Herself AGAIN!

[@tedtomoyasu8438]

This jazzy version is the BEST version of Bad Valentine! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@LonghopeBro-ju6jl]

AJ announced yesterday that it was at 11 on the iTunes top jazz songs. Today it's at 9. I bought my copy, so let's keep it going even higher. It's only $0.99.

[@sulatlalaki]

I agree!!

[@victorvinas6497]

This is masterclass jazz at its best. Jazz will always be in Angelina's heart.

[@PatrickWilliams-ou9hu]

I was blown away when i heard this she is actually singing words while scatting brilliant I hope Angelina is going to get credit for this version

[@christian53050]

The AJ Toby Gadd combo looks very, very promising, great things expected.

[@PhilipKnopp]

Nothing touches heart and soul more than Angelina's reinterpretation of her own original! This vocal spans decades and recombines them in vocals from a dozen great singers from the 1930's to the present!

[@leechap3]

This is right up my alley. I love the restraint, the jazzy improvisations, the scatty line, everything about it.

[@steinarhatlen2622]

By the time I watched your reaction here, I've listened to this jazzy version about 132 times. It is the best version for me. She is about to go really big. Her career in 2024 has gone in only one direction. Up.

[@DeanCapaul]

Man!!! For me, that version hits all the right buttons. Thanks for this review Chris. I’ve already listened to the song about 20 times today. I can’t get enough of this Jazzy version. I just love it. What a fabulous jazz voice. She can sing anything. Thanks again.

[@sdpelo]

Like you Chris, the Hotel Cafe version was my favorite. The more I listen to this jazz version, the more I like it. It is currently #9 on iTunes jazz top 100.

[@RobertDeMartin]

Chris, whenever you hear raves about an Angelina song you know going in it's going to be fantastic. And that's exactly what this was. If she was already popularized as a top vocal superstar this song would immediately go to the top of the charts! Hopefully this vocal masterpiece by Angelina will receive the recognition it truly deserves. And, at the same time Angelina will receive the attention of all those who haven't discovered her yet.

[@keithserafy]

Hands down this is the best version of this song & it's not even close. This is ready made for a movie sound track, IMO. Stunningly beautiful from the Queen of Jazz.

[@charlespeterson7502]

I absolutely love this version.

[@Owen_S.]

We all know Angelina is trying to hook a younger audience with her highly produced numbers, and that's awesome; I'm really cheering for her. But - boy - this right here is nectar of the gods for her longstanding fans. Instant classic! Thanks Chris. 👼

[@ashleyweinshilboum5977]

This song gives me the chills and moves me! WOW

[@jk_forever6874]

She is only 18 years old and possesses an extreme level already. It's not a question of if she'll become a world star, but WHEN... Absolutely amazing what she proves with this version of "Bad Valentine"...

[@claudest-gelais8456]

Damn she's good! She's so good she could re-invent the wheel if she wanted to💖💖💖

[@kenhall5551]

How to take a great tune and turn it into a Jazz masterpiece. Stunning.

[@silversurfer8278]

OK, I'm 100% sure that this is the killer arrangement and version of this song. The others are good to superb, but this one is just exceptional. What is needed now is some serious investment into a great video which also tells the story of the song; and the planning of an international tour. This could be the breakthrough for Angelina, because it should win over any jazz lovers who have yet to learn about her, and because it is so unlike anything in today's charts that it SHINES like a beacon. We need to start requesting this on the radio.

[@BellBell-t1r]

For me also this is my absolute favourite version of Angelina's Bad Valentine. ❤ from a 🇨🇦 Grammy

[@HusemR]

This is the proof, she is the best.

[@stevenparkes9597]

We is her music not played on the radio She is so good and not a sellout! Pound per pound best all around singer in the world

[@johnwriter267]

This is simply an incredible performance. When I first heard AJs interpretation of Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday" I was blown away. I was in tears... What's she going to be like in 10 years? Now we know... I'm so glad to see her go back to her roots. I know, for her career, she has to pursue pop. But, this is where she belongs. This is so good on so many levels... She's one of a kind.👣👣💕

[@sharonrdbl2343]

No 1 on Norway s ITune charts today!❤❤Love from Norway❤❤❤

[@philgaringer9065]

not only does she re-imagine classic and hit songs into her own style, she even re-imagines her own songs into something completely new and refreshing.

[@gerardadegroof]

Its the best version ❤

[@andyschnell58]

Thanks Chris for your reaction and being a cheerleader, encouraging all angels to do what they can to help promote Angelina. One easy way, is to post a message on jazz livestreams on KZbin. CAUTION, don't post too often as it is considered spam. The chat on some jazz livestreams moves very slowly so the message you post stays visible for a long time. Just search jazz livestream in the KZbin search and locate the ones with a live chat and then post a friendly invite to check out "Bad Valentine" by Angelina Jordan.

[@robertfennell5232]

The song is going to be a classic Angelina's and Toby's version here is genius. I hope they continue to work together. Your emotional reaction is needed after hearing this. I am 78 and this song puts tears in my eyes.

[@rogerwolstenholme2710]

Chris, I'm writing this before watching your reaction.... I'm predicting it will blow your mind.. it did mine.... hold on tight mate. !!!... lol.

[@Bustefaen]

This isn’t singing. It is a vocal godess summoning the angels. She can do almost anything, but jazz is Angelina’s home.

[@rogercarriere4756]

Musical genius 🎼🎶

[@Suevee911]

I was so excited & was waiting for your reaction. What a great version!🤟💕

[@stephenevans6055]

Great Reaction Chris , i have this on repeat ,

[@maryellengastelo6847]

She leaves me speechless, i would love a jazz album. Thank you Chris.

[@JMWexperience]

Truly incredible and amazing work by Angelina and Toby!

[@SteveAckerman-ly3qg]

This performance is just stunning. Not only the smoky sultry jazzed up rendition, but she manages to take one of her own songs and really shift the emotions being conveyed. In the first 3 it was more about being strong and explaining why the other person just doesn't measure up and deserve her love. Here, it's such a different feeling - this could be Sad Valentine, I think much more about self-doubt and remorse for what she has done. A-Aron does get into how she does this musically. And agree with you - she's a genius, and her collaboration with Toby is showing signs of being a match made in heaven ... I hope it is long-lived. Who knows what additional brilliance is going to come out of it.

[@BigAngieFan808]

Great points Steve. With that first listen I was more focused on the jazz techniques themselves but with further listenings I’m seeing that there is also that other level of how she uses those techniques to change the message and mood of the song so much. A big part of her genius is how her singing is all in service of the song, making the song the best it can be. She takes so many just average songs and makes them great. And of course this song is great to begin with!

[@rayhowson2720]

Whenever we think Angelina has reached a peak, she goes a step higher. This is pure vocal artistry at work. Sublime, nothing better. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@randegelo3506]

Chris, I think this version sounds like it's from a 1950's jazz club, and the record should be on a 78rpm shellac disc. (That's the highest compliment, in my opinion). Angelina has raised the bar so high I don't think anyone else will beat it.

[@philgaringer9065]

Her absolute best song by far in my humble opinion. The world needs an entire album full of songs re-imagined in this jazz style. multi-platinum, grammy-award-winning guaranteed.

[@johanwass9709]

Håller helt med dig😊

[@ekfux]

Chris, IMHO this is the best jazz song of this century. She is amazing. This is a masterpiece.

[@brianreilly8661]

Totally agree it's new level no other singer has her beautiful jazzy toned❤

[@joedeleon2017]

Chris, this song/ voice can not be duplicated. It's so sophisticated. Joey

[@Latoh1]

Yes yes, yes!!!!You are right!!!Absolutely!!!!

[@GrandmaEllen]

It is doing very well on the jazz rankings.

[@flea10x6]

Note that Toby released this on His KITE label. He’d said they’d recorded 6-8 songs but her label haded released any of them. Earlier I’d seen this Jazzy version was #11 on iTunes and #8 on Spotify. Those are the kind of numbers the radio stations et al. Look at.

[@garyswee9061]

Lol! I would have been surprised if you had been able to wait for a full video. This is so good! It hits so differently than the others. Sultry, jazzy, cool, and so many other adjectives (the same problem with all of AJ's performances- not enough descriptive words). She is flying high!!

[@PatrickWilliams-ou9hu]

all Angeles play this and play this on spotify

[@robertfennell5232]

It has been on itunes now at #9 on 100 jazz songs

[@fredt7518]

This arrangement is much harmonically richer than the original (and even with some big differences) and AJ has more room to be herself = an exceptional jazz singer !!!

[@ronraskind]

Currently, this version of Bad Valentine on Piano Diaries Is tracking at number 9 on iTunes top 100 jazz tunes! Lady Gaga and Frank Sinatra along with Louis Armstrong encompass the top seven or eight. Without them, Angelina is in the top top position! As it is, she is living with the legends.

[@berithenback3590]

❤ shes song is so good, she talkes to my feelings ❤

[@robertbiron]

I am excited with this song because now I can know which radio stations' I should submit this song to for request. 😎❤❤❤🌹🎶👣😇🇨🇦

[@douglasdennett4583]

"Fine music doesn't have an expiration date.!!!" - Author Unknown [ Ms. Angelina Jordan Angel Fan's Family Globally ] Thank U

[@ShanLiB]

When I heard this a couple of days ago I was so shocked I had to play it over and over many times. I could not really get my mind around it because the previous versions had set my expectations. This is so far beyond what I could have imagined it was like my concept of reality seemed to shift and leave me looking for something to grab onto. Your comments about the marketability of this version may be right, because the world's not fair and I can accept that. But, not really. It's REALLY not fair. After watching your reaction I had to return to the source and play it about 5 times, all the way through. That happens whenever I see a reaction (like Pontus' reaction) to it. I can't get enough. She's passed through into another dimension and dragged me into a world I don't recognize. I really love it, though.

[@paulhnielsen2708]

She is getting better. And i thought she was the best❤️

[@aryachow]

This is the best version. Actually this is now #9 on the iTunes top 100 Jazz songs. She is even scatting in this. I have just contacted and sent a link to this song to a local Jazz radio station. Hope they will play it.❤❤👣❤❤

[@boz352]

I remember how surprised I was when I first heard this lovely lady sing. It happened again when i heared this latest 'jazzy' version of "Bad Valentine". Everything we love about Angelina comes out in this beautiful and, I suspect, final version of Bad Valentine. I loved every version, especially that first introduction in the LA cafe with Toby. But they kept changing it up with each new venue. And they were ALL wonderful with subtle differences. Unril now. No more subtleties, we now have a "jazzy" version. Here she seems to be paying homage to those wonderful jazz singers from the past, and in the process showing off all those gorgeous colors in her magical voice and resulting tweaks to the melody which you hear from the piano. You're just mesmerized by how crazy good this rendition is. I loved it. But as you say, Main street, maybe not so much...not yet, anyway.

[@TroyArchAngel]

This reminds me of the style she displayed on My Funny Valentine 16, but even at a higher level now 2 years later. My Funny Valentine 16 was my favourite performance by her ever now it's this one for sure. This is really a masterpiece vocal display.

[@DarienLovesJazz]

I thought the exact same thing when I first heard it. Masterclass vocals on My Funny Valentine just got even better!!!

[@CarlD70]

Thanks Chris...not sure how you can pick out any particular part you like...this is a masterpiece from start to finish and everything in between...best song (hard to say this) from Angelina I have ever heard....her Jazz roots are shining like "stars in the darkest night". Cheers.

[@adriaanrijllart5213]

I love this version ❤. Angelina is magnificent ❤❤❤

[@robertpalmer9831]

You can just sense the anguish in her heart when she penned this. The tears are hard to hold back. While the other versions convey a sense of empowerment, this version shows that it came with a price.❤

[@chaddy-me-boy8299]

Robert, there’s some logic as to why she would come to Pittsburgh, say at the Stage AE? 2400 seats inside. Pittsburgh is centrally located from a lot of cities, Chicago, Cinn, Cleve, phila, nyc, Baltimore, D.C. Canada, etc. 🤞

[@robertpalmer9831]

@@chaddy-me-boy8299 We can only wish. Carnegie Music Hall in Oakland would be a great venue for her as well. I love hearing her in beautiful intimate settings.

[@debs42444]

Love this Jazz version 😎❤, but that’s my background.✌🏻🎸

[@davehenderson7644]

Speechless🥲!

[@clones365]

I am 100% convinced this will be in a movie! Reminds me of a seen in a mafia movie where they are in a jazz lounge like when she was in Lilliehammer, but she won't just be in the background, she will be the star of the scene...and the song will win an Oscar;)

[@patrickchauharjasingh7164]

Hello Chris. This is beyond brilliant. This is highest-level vocal genius. I understand your concern about the heavy jazzy feel with regard to its potential for mainstream popularity but, perhaps somewhat paradoxically, every review and every comment I've seen so far has been extremely positive. I, like maybe a large proportion of the average listeners, am not particularly a jazz specialist or aficionado, and yet I was completely blown away by this version, as has EVERYONE that I've seen comment on it, and I have yet to come across anyone who did not agree that this is the very best version yet of this amazing song.

[@kevingood4644]

Feels to me like she made this for her angels..less commercial, more emotional..so much anguish..I love it 🙏

[@CarmelaTornambe]

I like this version better it brings out her jaz voice.

[@flea10x6]

There are a series of shorts to this version as silhouette as if in a club.

[@ScionDraak]

I agree, Chris. She's a standalone, outstanding genius.

[@keithfultz3293]

This is best version for me and the AJ I am hoping to hear more of.

[@zeuso.1947]

Good luck to anyone trying to cover this.

[@brigritte2091]

this is what i was waiting for such a long time

[@Joe-o8f]

She's a killer Chris.! She killed that song so good.! 😢 She's different from the rest of us.!

[@victorariasarrue]

This is the best song jazz !!!!!!

[@rogerandrus1806]

In this arrangement she did to her own song what she has done when covering other artists - she "Angelina'd" it! Breathtaking!

[@ridgemanron]

The vocal gymnastics she can apply so effortlessly will always mesmerize anyone listening.

[@BigAngieFan808]

And it’s never “see what I can do” gymnastics a la Christina Aguilera. Always to elevate the song..

[@hans-georgschroter7887]

[@marshawolfe2948]

Her voice is like no othe best voice.I have heard in my lifetime And I am 65 years old.She's the best and this jazz version is. Golden Is the best vocal she has ever that she has done❤❤❤❤

So good to have great Jazz diva on the scene again.

[@frodeingebretsen4225]

Angelina - more like this , much more ! Angelina is not a popsinger - she is in a special league of her own.

[@dojoswitzer]

She truly is the Queen!

[@tommonsen965]

Agree Chris ... i'm not into Jazz much but this one is just WOW ❤❤❤

[@davidfulginiti5985]

Chris , that’s the one thanks

[@tcc2021]

Sounds like a movie sound track to me...great.

[@I_scribbles]

My favorite version will be when she performs this with the piano and an orchestration of strings behind her during the grammies! Hardly anyonebody on my algo have reacted to this. TEE, THE european guy that I cant remember is name right now and Shakes. So far nobody else. Possibly because you have to dig on her channel to find it, idk. But its hitting big in Jazz iTunes 100 chart!!!

[@lynettepascua4730]

She could make two albums of all of her songs one pop and one jazz and I would buy both for what ever mood I was in.

[@Mister.315]

To me she changed the entire feel and intent of the song. The earlier versions sounded like a "bad girl" attitude. This one sounds like a sad girl, remorseful, sorrowful. What a change. What an amazing artist she continually shows us she is.

[@giuseppeurna1986]

Fenomenale.

[@-oliver-oberhausengermany4428]

i love my headphone so much for "this" ! voice. goosebumps !! thanks Chris ☺, many greetings to Hawaii On itunes top 100 songs in norway they are on number one !!! I think this is an appropriate placement 😃

[@suyapakloth-jorgensen1760]

My favorite the FIRST BUT THIS IS MY NOW. SHE IS THE BEST !!,❤❤❤❤❤

[@lesgray9533]

Great reaction Chris! Such a great collaboration - there are more songs to be revealed - i hope that we also get jazzy versions of those...

[@poolhallshark]

This is definitely my favorite version of the song, her abilities are on full display here, but just like you mentioned, commercially I think this is not AS appreciated by the masses. Unfortunately. Great reaction, Chris ♥♥♥

[@MavisLLobo]

I love all versions ❤❤

[@demelltowers8332]

Toby is a GENIUS!

[@francescogalesso1880]

I believe in this version it was Angelina who said to Toby, "follow me."

[@mvw5721]

AJ covering AJ. Exquisite. That scat was perfection.

[@jeffthebeeguy]

Angelina = Angel-in-a song.😇

[@rw716]

Nice reaction Chris! All I can say is HOLY CRAP! This is right up there with her My Funny Valentine from 2022. This was slower, sultry, and jazzy. I really love this version. I can't wait to see the music video to this! As of 10:49pm PST, this song is currently at #11 on the iTunes Top 100 Jazz Songs. It was low as #16 and reached a high of #7 so far. I have a really good feeling that this song will be on this list for a long time. I still believe it will reach #1 once more and more people hear it.

[@danburque7555]

Thanks Chris 😊❤ I'm Zen

[@rcvrcat]

There is nothing better than hearing Angelina signing with simple piano & strings. This allows her incredible jazz voice to shine. This is what they need to continue to do and promote her. While she performs on stage and sounds good, her voice always seems to get drowned out when a drummer is involved. She needs to stay closer to this simple piano collaboration on stage. This is where she shines and her incredible generational talent shines!

[@pontusosterlin1966]

This version takes my breath away. And it gets better the more you hear it. All those details and the emotions she can evoke in us… unbelievable 🥲 Great reaction video, Chris 🙏

[@thomashoffmann5516]

👍👍❤️❤️❤️ Thank You Chris 👣👣👣
