Classical Singer Reaction - Angelina Jordan | I'm Still Holding Out for You. One of my Favorites!!

[@suellenjames9028]

Your comments greatly increase my appreciation of this artist and this song, probably my favorite of Angelina's. Thank you.

[@cm0355]

Our angel Angelina is simply the best…

[@StephanieHealy-wh9cn]

One of the best things about this is that it's a demo she did, not an actual recording to be released.

[@barryboyd7973]

How she is able to arrange cover songs so they become her own is unreal for someone her age. So is her voice, her singing ability and the the way she conveys emotions that seem to be beyond her years. Prodigy is not too big a word in her case. She is truly exceptional.

[@elisabethstermo9396]

Probably the best cover I've ever heard. The LEAKED song.

[@navrozelalkaka8457]

the problem is that each song she delivers is a gem/nugget/a wonderful work of art.... it's impossible to choose.

[@postmads1974]

She's not covering Baby Fuzz. He asked her to make a demo for his lyrics to this song and then he made a version covering her version covering his lyrics.

[@DeanCapaul]

Age 11. “Lovin You”. Don’t miss this one!!!

[@eileenparco9979]

You to hear her sing jazz at 12, try "I'm A Fool To Want You". I think even Billie Holiday would bow to her!

[@Christian-DH]

This demo was never meant to be released. Her parents made this decision owing to the topic of suicide in the song. We know that she was 10 when she sang this. The images on this fan made video indicate it wasn't leaked until she was 12. If you really want to hear her lower register, she sang "How Great Thou Art" in the style of Elvis Presley. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jX2kdqxnga57qMU

[@jeffreyjameson5510]

Baby Fuzz did not give her the song. He has publicly stated this. That he knew nothing about her demo. The most believable rumor out there is that two of the other songwriters approached Angies team and had her cut the demo and they produced it. Any rumors beyond that are pure speculation

[@jdeang3531]

@@jeffreyjameson5510 word is there was another version of the song by Baby Fuzz in you tube but was taken down and replaced by the one currently on there. It came after Angelina’s version was recorded. His original is said to be vastly different than the current version.

[@jeffreyjameson5510]

@@jdeang3531 who knows really? Except fuzz. Ronny. Aksel. IMO Fuzz must have had a demo that Angie listened to first just to get the basic feel for the phrasing for the lyrics. Then Angie worked her magic on it. And Ronny and Aksel did an outstanding job in post production. I think her version is a masterpiece that is Radio ready. Would love for her to revisit it.

What is sure is that in KZbin dates, Angelina's version is older. "Leaked" years later it was recorded.

[@ridgemanron]

It is believed by many that Angelina's mom didn't think it was appropriate for her, at 10 years old, to release a song that refer's to a drowning suicide. I believe it is among the best recordings she has ever done and would have zoomed up the charts, had it been released. It is truly mind boggling when you realize her age. I do hear a lot of the influence that Billie Holiday has had on Angelina.

[@RobertDeMartin]

Dad, to me this was your finest reaction to our barefoot princess. At the closing of the video you spoke about love. So many of us literally love Angelina and, in fact, many of us have never felt the kind of love she has touched our hearts with. The sound of her voice with it's soulfulness and always a hint of jazz make her so unique there is no one to compare her to even at 10 years old. Funny story: Her family enrolled her in a special music class when she was very, very young. The class introduced the students to the technical aspects of arranging music, etc., and also to learn how to sing. The teachers wanted to speak to her family to tell them they can continue to teach Angelina about the technical aspects of music but it would be a waste of their time to teach her how to sing. They actually told her family Angelina could qualify as an instructor teaching students how to sing at such an early age. Dad, I recently read a comment from one of her 'angels' , his name is Paul Adamson, and I'd like to share it with you. We had just listened to Angelina sing 'What a Difference a Day Makes' at 8 years old (you'd swear it was Dinah Washington singing!) and, as usual, all of us had a lot to say. Paul quoted Plato, the great philosopher: "Music is a moral law. It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm of sadness, and life to everything. It is the essence of order, and leads to all that is good, just and beautiful, of which it is the invisible, but nevertheless dazzling, passionate, and eternal forms." And then, Paul offered this comment: "I think Plato must have foreseen the coming of Angelina Jordan when he scribed these beautiful words."

[@michaelrogers7426]

Robert-beautiful comment-Angelina has powers that she is aware of but she seems to not be fully aware of… power like a spiritual leader, a guru, yet she conveys almost all of it through singing which is remarkable, and her calling is wanting to bring love to the world through her singing

This song , done so beautifully by Angelina should go in a book of music history as the very best song by a 10 year old singer ever sung. Better than Shirley Temple, or any one else in that age bracket.

[@johnroache32]

❗️I’m Still Holding Out For You” is an Angelina Original at 10! Experts agree! An original, is any song which was not recorded by any artist before, it may be composed by the person singing it, or by someone else. Baby FuzZ and 3 others wrote this song at a Music Camp. He actually performed the “Cover” that Angelina had already recorded in 2016, at 10. The Demo or not, it was published, uploaded, on Nov. 11, 2018. Reportedly, his offical video, published Dec 9, 2018, (two years later) was met with very little fanfare. He has since, given her Copyright privileges, and his blessing, to make a proper recording of the song. (After 350 various videos, this remains in my top 10!)

A great thoughtful reaction to one of her best performances... I'm concerned that as you move on with you schedual you'll miss Every Time We Say Goodbye. It's a truly unique performance. On a rooftop in Oslo, singing with a guitar accompaniment she's saying goodbye to Oslo before she leaves on an extended trip later that day. It's a beautiful experience to listen to and watch. Even for Angelina, it's an exceptionally soft and emotional performance. She always had an ability to select just the right song for the moment.

Silly me. I thought to myself, "OK, picking a few favorites from when she was 11 shouldn't be _too_ hard…" And then I looked at my playlist for that year and saw about 10 things you absolutely *need* to hear!😁 But OK… here's my list of just four. I've limited myself to one performance of each of four types: live-in-concert, live-at-home (someone's home, anyway), live-in-the-studio, and live-on-the-radio. * "Faded" at Prøysenfestivalen [on Boris Palenovski's channel - the "sound enhanced" version has clearer audio than the original upload] * "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" accompanied by Egil Clausen on guitar [Angelina Jordan CoverChannel] * "I'm a Fool to Want You" from a recording session for her album _It's Magic_ [Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz channel - the video title says "rehearsal", but about half of the take we are watching her sing ended up on the album - this one is harder to find than the others here, so I'll give you the YT video ID: v=79tM-Spcr1Q] * "Mary's Boy Child" on NRK Radio, kicking off an interview promoting one of her 2017 Christmas concerts [Boris Palenovski] Note that some people may be recommending a different upload of her "I'm a Fool to Want You" recording session that uses the audio from the CD track in place of the original "ambient audio" heard in the Mosarz upload. You should hear the unaltered version I'm pointing you to.

Sir, Angelina´s video was "leaked" a week befor Mr. Lowry brought out his video. That in mind, she arranged this song and I suspect, Mr.Lowry was inspired by her version.

[@charlesmilburn9572]

Thanks for a thorough researched reaction it was much more than the typical reaction. One comment on this song, I have read that it was brought to her by the group Stargate to develop a demo recording to send to Baby Fuz as he was asking for someone to sing it. Do know what actually happened but he released his own version and evidentally later someone ,in his organization?put together the video and "leaked it" I strongly recommend that you react to "A Song for A" for many reasons. The music was composed by Nico Curtisio as the last movement in his instrumental classical piece depicting the seven levels of frozen hell. We wanted the last movement to be about redemption and love and remembered the 18th century Scottish poet Robert Burns poem Rigs of Barley" and he wanted Angelina to sing it so he sent it to her and the result is awesome. I think she was 11. Very few people react to this, but I think it checks a lot of boxes for you. I really look forward to your thoughts on this. One question as you listen, "What pic movie should this have the opening song for" I love the violin at the end.

[@RustyShacklefordChannel]

Good to see you back! I'm glad you got to this one. It's a great example of Angelina's artistry. So many clever vocal choices she made here. ....and that run at the end is perfection. If you want 11 year old, my personal picks would be from the "Proysenfestivalen" show (check Boris' channel): Diamonds Are Forever and Cry Me A River are both in my favorites.

[@johnvasi]

Let me quibble a bit with your strictly chronological approach. You can listen to Angelina at any age and be stunned. Yes, her voice today is stronger and more resonant, but you can see her here at 10 killing this song for anyone else. If you stick with your approach, you’ll never catch up to present day Angelina because she has so many incredible songs. Within the past year, her releases of Suspicious Minds, Easy on Me, and I Have Nothing are all staggeringly good. You can go back anytime to her huge, amazing cache of songs, but you really should hear what Angelina can do today. I listen to Angelina everyday, and choose her older songs hundreds of times. Treat yourself to the best singer you’ll ever hear-and watch what she can do right now.

Hello SingerDad, There are a lot of rumours. Actually this is her song because she sang it first but only as a demo and BabyFuzz did a cover of her. I think it's quite simple, the song would have gone through the roof and for her 10 years on this song and the way she is protected by her family it would have been too soon with the hype that followed and as mentioned would have been without a record deal it would have been difficult to release this song and only others would have benefited from it. but that's just a guess on my part

I think you may be right that this one has the lowest notes you've heard from her so far. For reference, the first note of her a-cappella "I'm a Fool to Want You", which she sang just after turning 8, seems to have been only one note higher than the low notes you were marvelling at here (E3 vs. D3) - and this was (reportedly) sung nearly 3 years later, when she was just about to turn 11. She hit F3s and E3s (AFAICT) in some other things you've already heard, but just for the record, she got down to a D3 (more or less) when she sang "Unchained Melody" on a talk show called _Lindmo_ about a year before this recording (when she was about to turn 10). There is general agreement that the lowest note we've ever heard from her (so far) is in "How Great Thou Art", sung when she was 12, but disagreement over what the note actually was. I say "on paper" it was a C3, but it sounds to me like she went a little lower than that (but not as low as a B2) because she was trying to come up to the note from below it. (!)

I am not a musician but I love singing and listen/watch good quality music in different genres: classical, religious, cross-over, musical and (since I discovered Angelina about 4 month ago) jazz/blues/soul. As almost everybody has experienced with Angelina: you have to see it, otherwise you can't believe it. Your in depth reactions are awesome. To me good singers like Angelina Jordan (jazz/blues/soul), Amira Willighagen (classical, religious, cross-over), Lucy Thomas (musical, cross-over, pop), Jadyn Rylee (pop) and other young singers who are putting their soul and effort into making their musical dreams work do deserve that. I think we also can learn from your reactions, at least I do absolutely, so thank you also for that. About Angelina's music videos: mostly they are created by her grandmother, a jazz singer herself. She made Angelina listen to it from very, very, early age and apparently that has worked out well on Angelina (to say the least). There is a lovely 20 minutes long documentaire about 'early Angelina' on KZbin: 'Angelina Jordan, Born to sing, 2006-2014'. It is a wonderful and realistic view inside her early years and what kind a person she is.

One small thing that gets me right off the bat on this one is the way she makes the same vowel sound on "my" and the "mo" in "tomorrow". I just love that.

[@zeuso.1947]

Angelina's phrasing, timing, and vocal skills are off the chart master's class creative skill.

[@kenscott8966]

Angelina at 11yo opened her concert with this. It gets way too little notice. She rides the jazz wave without equal and also lets the dogs out! Not to be missed! "Lovin You"(Etta James-I Just Want To Make Love To You) kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2W6gZWjn8yInZY Lovin You(same performance without instrumental intro): kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6fQo6l7mb6Ghbs

[@royjohansen7472]

Love your reaction and for me this is the best reaction on this song, 👍🥰 from a hug Angelina fan

[@SingerDadReacts]

Wow. Thank you, Roy. That means a lot. I do my best! :-) Angelina is amazing!

[@ckh57]

To hear her at her utmost in her low register listen to her , 'How Great Thou Art ' , kzbin.info/www/bejne/jX2kdqxnga57qMU , ) you will not believe how low she can maintain and hold a note, even longer than Elvis did in his cover of this song.

[@shanebee8199]

Angelina was given this as a demo by babyfuzz and recorded the song 3 years before baby fuzz released his version

[@frankphillips5660]

Here is an enhanced audio and it is trimmed to delete the first 2:30 of the band jamming before Angelina enters the stage for the song LOVIN' YOU, which is a re titled version of Etta James' I JUST WANT TO MAKE LOVE TO YOU: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6fQo6l7mb6Ghbs

[@gustavodeyermoyparres4615]

thanks Josh

[@ooshta]

Welcome back. Wonderful reaction Josh. I like your break down. Angie was 10 when she made this demo from the same camp Brandon was at in Norway in 2016. Then leaked out about the same time BF released his (yes the harmony is with herself). Please react to Angie when she was 11 at her concert in Kongsberg in Norway. "Lovin you" the enhanced audio version she redid it to make it more age appropriate from the original called "I want to makesweet love to you" 👣💎👍

[@todradmaker4297]

The camp where this song was written was in the summer of 2016 and Angelina recorded this demo in the winter of 2016. Angelina did not attend that camp.

[@ooshta]

@@todradmaker4297 actually she did attend the camp but the demo was not at the camp and she was not there at the same time as BF. She and her family already knew Freda and some others there, also they have worked with them before.

[@localnetsolutions]

She Did How Great Thou Art even a little lower at 12 (actually the same as the Elvis cover. 2 other songs that are great at 12 are I'd Rather Go Blind,(Etta James) and Stay (Rhianna)

[@hdctx]

Fuzz was shopping the song and asked Angelina to sing a demo. The copyright on her rendition precedes his by about a month. The video is fan made. She was ten..

[@todradmaker4297]

There are a few inaccuracies in your post. Baby Fuzz did not ask Angelina to record this demo; the three Norwegian songwriters that co-wrote the song did. Baby Fuzz has never been in contact with Angelina or anyone from her team. Angelina does not own the copyright to this song; the copyright belongs to the songwriters. Angelina recorded the demo in the winter of 2016 and this leaked fan made video was posted on November 11th 2018. Baby Fuzz posted his current version December 19th 2019.

[@jean-claudeledanois1247]

Sorry Dad , But I must correct you. The fact is that Aj did record this song before , Baby Fuzz . He recorded it quite sometimes after AJ. So , in fact, Babby Fuzz comes second and made a cover of his own song , rather funny...

[@craigscott6975]

Thanks and welcome back. Just FYI everything sounded great on my end (mic and cam included) so I wouldn't worry on that and hope you send us more AJ, sooner then later. Cheers!

What a difference a day makes, Singapore. Age 9. The best. 😎🇺🇲👍🌟💯

[@SingerDadReacts]

Thanks for the suggestion. I already reacted to this one and it was awesome! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGmcdXtomMytm7s
