VOCAL COACH REACTS to Angelina Jordan - Easy On Me

[@capstan50g]

Dounia, I'm sorry that people treated you so badly. You've been so honestly enthusiastic about the great artists you react to, and I always appreciate the benefit of your experience and training. Please don't lose heart! Also, please take care and stay safe!

[@Scott-xh3kf]

Don't listen to the haters.

[@geoffreynorth9046]

Some of her fans can be overzealous and quick to take offence.... they are I think a minority - anyway, I apologise on behalf of the great majority of her fans who are not like that but generally very nice and understanding.... so please don't worry just continue to say what you think.

[@dirkdegraw4165]

Dounia, I love your reactions. Some people are too sensitive and can’t tolerate any constructive criticism. Don’t let them get you down, please. Your appreciation for Angelina is so inspiring. I look forward to your next reaction. Thanks.

[@Bronxlenny3591]

Dounia We love you too, Dounia. Please stay with us and ignore the bad apples. A wonderful reaction and your comments were very interesting and professional.

[@Steve1016]

Don't listen to the haters. You be you. I'm sure Angelina herself would want that. 🙂

[@jefftofte9419]

Please do not take the rude comments to heart, some fans just cannot accept any perceived criticism of Angelina. It is disappointing, and certainly does not reflect Angelina's request for us all to be kind to one another. It;s fine to have a different opinion and it's not really that hard to to explain ourselves with kindness. I enjoy your reactions, even if I don't agree with every opinion you have. You have always been consistent with your opinion and analysis of Angelina's music in that you enjoy and admire her talent. Yes, that is Grandma Mery, I have heard that Adele knows of Angelina and is honored that she covers her songs. Have a good day !

[@MichaelSmith-mr2mz]

Well said. It's perfectly OK for you to stand up for yourself. Thank you for all the work you are doing for AJ. ❤️ I assure you that a true AJ fan is a positive, loving person.

[@robertsilva631]

Angelina was 15 years old in this video performance.

[@zeljkoguber]

Yes, in video is her Iranian Grandma Mary

[@nature-nomads]

Good for you, you stand up in a clear and peacefull way, for who you are! Love to watch you ❤

[@iankings6405]

Watch Angelina aged 6 first time in a studio, singing I who have nothing. The power is unbelievable.

[@georgeevdokimou2349]

I like you r analysis ferst and the second you love our girl ,and we love us well because give to her much love and thank you very much

[@larsfrodelarsen5757]

Her voice makes my musical soul tremble !!!

[@davidgrainger7717]

Dounia I really enjoy your reactions and you demeanor- which is beautiful and kind❤

[@hans-georgschroter7887]

Don't be sad or angry about bad people ❤ I want to hear what you are thinking 🙏

[@isteinskjellerud3097]

Yes, it's Mery Zamani, her grandmother.

[@iankings6405]

We love you Dounia, your the best.❤

[@poolhallshark]

Nice that you speak up for yourself, Dounia👍 Because guess what ? No one else will. Thanks again for a great reaction to Angelina. She was 15 here, and this is one of my absolute favorites by her. And to the question in the video thumbnail, if she performed it better than Adele : I think so. And that goes for all 13 or 14 of her Adele covers as well. If you want to hear her do another beautiful Adele cover, then go ahead and react to her cover of All I Ask, you will see what I mean. I'll be waiting in the corridors in the meantime. Stay safe and take care🙂 Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

[@summaEngineer]

Grandma MERY. That was her Grandmother MERY ZAMANI that Angelina was leaning her head against at the beginning of the video. Grandma MERY IS the most important person in Angelina's LIFE. She is EVERYTHING to Angelina. 😇Jim

[@boscobeans]

You react and that is what you should do. THANK YOU.

[@LoriRules3]

You’re one of my favorite reactors for Angelina. So happy that you added her weekly! Thanks

[@olekristiandahlen603]

Angelina often uses breathing as part of the expression she wants to convey. This can be found in most of her performances since she was 8-9 years old.🥰

[@roarkarlsen1584]

Yes i agree

[@gary-white-]

As others have mentioned, yes, that was Angelina's Iranian grandmother who is an artist and poet and has been a huge influence on Angelina. Interestingly, the video you reacted to was published a very short time (12 days) after Adele's original.

[@msachar]

You are a great vocal coach who is just giving her honest opinion.

[@ronraskind]

Dounia, I am sorry to hear of your negative experience with a few of the fans. I say a few because this is not the norm that you are describing. The vast majority appreciate greatly your expertise, and are courteous to all reactors. I think it's great that you spoke out and hopefully those negative comments will disappear. Thanks for all you do. Peace and love.

[@FudzyBare]

Dounia, I am saddened that the ignorami that populate You Tube comment sections have insulted you. They have no understanding of the technicalities of singing - there is more to singing than just having an incredible voice, as you know so well. Ignore the naysayers and stay true to yourself - you know your subject, and you communicate the nuances that are lost on most people in such a clear and understandable way. Stay strong ❤❤

[@OleOlson121]

It's not easy to criticize perfection. Haters gotta hate. Ignore them. Angelina Jordan Our Barefoot Princess of Jazz. ❤👣

[@CarlD70]

Great reaction Dounia....you be you, most of us really enjoy your insights and knowledge. Talk about whatever you want. Please stay safe and never stop doing what you do. . 🥰🥰 Absolutely Block the idiots....right thing to do.

[@johnriley9357]

I value your comments very much. I wish her new music had more of her covers in them. I love blues and jazz but she does other things wonderfully too.

[@mauistevebear]

Prayers for you & yours...stay safe! It's ok to block haters, there will always be haters no matter what

[@robertvirnig638]

As one of Angelina's "Angels," I disavow any trolls in the comments. There is no room for animosity in Angelina's fandom. Great reaction, ty.

[@ron4mac]

I have been enjoying your channel, Dounia. Your reactions and analysis of Angelina are among the best! Everywhere, even in a space populated by mostly kind angels, there will be people who feel that their opinions are relevant, even if negative. For you, it will be important to understand that acceptance goes both ways. 💕

[@hattie9794]

I love your reactions to angelina😊

[@Hundhammer]

Hey Dounia, I really enjoyed your little rant about the bad angels, you spoke from my heart! I hope you know that most of us angels really do care about music and honesty and would not allow anyone to let down on you, unfortunately the are a few crazy guys in the comments to almost every AJ reaction, either hyper motivated ones who idolize Angelina and can't take a word of criticism or comparison, and others who don't even seem to be genuine fans of AJ, but just looking for an opportunity to offend someone, be it the reactor or someone else in the comments... Anyway, it's sad it had to be said at all! You're such a sunshine and example for all of us, keep going! Beautiful reaction, thank you! And now maybe I'm going to upset certain angels myself, but as this channel is about music in general and not Angelina exclusively I can't help but mentioning RAYE. You speaking about posture and stage presence had me think of her, I wish you would review RAYE - Oscar Winning Tears (live at the Royal Albert Hall)... I'd really love to hear what you'd have to say... Peace and love from Bavaria!

[@michinawi22able]

Dounia, please don’t listen to the angry ones, keep doing what you love and also we angels appreciate. You have our support till the moon and back!❤😇

[@nestordepoli]

Hello Dounia, we are all waiting for your reactions from Angelina, it is great you do it, thank you so much for the reaction, Angelina is very special, every word, every note, gives it value and feeling, thank you so much and Angelina forever

[@jimbinder7472]

I think Adel has a beautiful voice but in my opinion Angelina puts way more feeling into her delivery of the song. Angelina makes me cry when she sings, I can’t help it. Beautiful reaction.

[@ronlim5402]

It's very sad that we have a few angels among us that are so narrow minded. I have an idea who some of them are. I can tell by their comments throughout all of her reactors. Most of us are very open minded and welcoming, as Angelina would want us to be. Stay true to your opinions and please continue with AJ. I appreciate the fact that you yourself are an angel. It's sad that we have angels that are so fanatical.

[@bjrnmartinsen2024]

Yes it is her grandma. I love your reactionvideos, so please dont stop! Dont let the haters win! 🥰

[@michinawi22able]

She is amazingly amazing!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@BarrySowder]

Dounia, I believe that many (if not all) of these people are not Angels but are trolls who pop up from time to time in small groups to just create trouble. Please do your best to block and then forget them. We Angels are with you!

[@larryward9958]

There are a few overzealous fans. Ignore them I love your honesty and appreciate your critiques

[@mldkenny]

You should listen to the advice from The Brain Squeeze reactor (Hector) about haters!!! 99.999999% love you for the way you react so please keep strong. I LOVE Angelina Jordan and this is just another example of what she can do in her perfect way.

[@rongotwalt4487]

Always the very best intentions my dear and your wonderful, wonderful commentary and analysis are so much appreciated by all the angels all over the world my friend. Keep doing what you're doing. You are a wonderful angel and I know Angelina would be proud to have you in her corner because you actually love what she's doing and how she's doing it and how she's portraying herself as a young woman artist in this generation. This version by Angelina. I think she was 15 or 16 at the time.is I agree. such a simple, beautiful, black and white video with her. Just standing at the mic, singing her heart out to an Adele song and giving it such an emotional attachment to your heart and soul. It just grabs you from the very very first time she opened her mouth. Adele is one of Angelina's mentors and I know she loves her dearly as she did. Amy Winehouse too and you can see how she's able to take the Adele song and add her a little bit of Angelina nuances to it and give it such a different flavor but stay true to the original song. This is what Angelina does. She reinvents covers and makes them fresh and exciting for the listener to witness. I want to thank you for doing what you're doing. Keep doing it. We love you out here all over the world and sending you much thanks and love from Canada 👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤❤❤

[@alainmoussat9684]

Merci pour votre réaction. Ce que vous dites sur un duo avec Adèle, c'est ce que je pense depuis longtemps. Oui, Angelina est là reine de l'attaque d'une chanson. Dès les premiers instants, les premières notes on est captivé.

[@tomevans7567]

The ironic part is I'm sure that Angelina would tell the haters not to hate because she wants people to be respectful and not hateful. It's ok not to agree with someone's opinion, but it's not ok to do it in a demeaning way. Ignore the haters because in my opinion, they are the ones in the wrong, not you and what they do is the exact opposite of what Angelina would want. I will always respect your right to your opinion whether or not I agree with it.

[@judykneis772]

I love you and your reactions to Angelina, those are people who don't know how to listen. You KNOW what you are doing. Good for you to stand tall, I will be behind you, now let's go girl ☮️❤️

[@rw716]

Hi Dounia! First, I apologize for the few bad apples that were not respectful to your reaction and analysis. What has been happening, like with many artists that get more and more popular, is that you have some extreme fans that can't take a bit of criticism. You are a reactor who has your opinions. If they don't like it, leave and watch someone else! Most of us try to carry Angelina's message of being kind and spreading love. It's disappointing to hear that these so-called fans think they are Angels and act totally the opposite. Sad! Anyways, enough about these dumb people.... Angelina loved this song so much, she actually came out with this cover a week after Adele premiered the song. It' funny that you mentioned reverb because we fans who really know her have seen her on a number of occasions ask for a little reverb on her mic when she sings. The older lady leaning on Angelina's shoulder is her Grandma Mery, the lady that introduced her to Jazz music when she was very little. She is very close to her Grandma. Mery has shown up in a number of Angelina's videos. You will see her as you continue your down the AJ rabbit hole. Plus, you're not the only one to say that it's scary to think how she will be when she's older, more mature, and experienced. Again, no need to apologize about bringing up those few idiots that were rude to you. As someone who considers himself an Angel, it makes my heart sink with disappointment hearing what these few said. You do what you need to do to keep them off your videos. Best wishes and stay safe in Lebanon!

[@brianreilly8661]

Your take on how and what is very much appreciated. If I recall correctly, this song was done in the studio very shortly after Adele released it. And to answer your question at the beginning that is indeed her grandmother Mery Zamani, whose story is fascinating as well.

Keep hope and faith!

Thank you so much! 🤍

[@berniescott4014]

[@AvilaDreamer]

Thank you for your dedicated support of AJ. Many of her angels are super protective of her since she started so young (like their own daughter). All the support of reactors like you helps her. She's so unique, and such a sweet soul. So talented! I agree she'll be a household name just like Adele in time. Please stay safe - you are appreciated! 🤗

[@spicykimbap99]

I honestly think Adele knows of Angelina Jordan without a doubt. Angelina already has connections within the industry, there seems to be a collaboration with Scott from pentatonic coming soon

[@rogerandrus1806]

I am sorry there are some nasty people out there spreading hatred. Not what you should be subjected to. I always think "What would Angelina say?" She stands for love, peace, and acceptance. All of which YOU deserve.

[@Charles-uw9kh]

She released this cover 1 or 2 days after Adell released the original. Obviously the lyrics were meaningful to her. Concerning the imperfections in her earlier covers, "go easy on her, she was just a child" My guess is that the vast majority of the audience are music enjoyers not students, do we need to know every imperfection?

[@michaelgoetze2103]

A musically trained friend of mine was thinking of starting a channel like this a few years back. I advised her to think carefully about it. She is too honest and will say if she doesn't like something, so she would have to deal with a lot of hostility because some people become irrational in support of their favourite artists. Everybody is different, we like different things - that is life.

[@MavisLLobo]

Dounia. You are great. I love your reactions

[@shabkarpa]

Good to hear you stand up for yourself. I'm a huge Angelina a fan, and I could disagree with you, but disrespect is never ok. I love the way she adds some frustration and anger to Adele's sadness in the "I had good intentions..." section.

Yes, her grandmother Mery. She is Iranian. Her grandpa was Japanese, who was married to Mery. Her dad is Swedish, and her mom, Norwegian Angelina, is probably 15 here. Or 14, I can't remember. God bless you.

[@Chris1969o]

You are Absolutely Amazing! Love you and your channel! Good for you for telling those asses off! Call them out by name! One thing I have figured out. Angelina's fan base on KZbin is in there 70's. They are lonely cranky retired men that have an unrealistic fantasy about Angelina. I'm convinced that these people have nothing better to do than refresh their KZbin page 9 hours a day looking for new Angelina reactions and then attack anything they see negative. These are spineless pathetic men. They say things sitting behind a computer that they would never have the courage to say to someones face. Disregard those people.

[@michaelrogers7426]

Block the baddies - the vast majority of Angels are not crazy and known for their civility

[@ShanLiB]

It's good you are using the blocking feature. Some reactors don't and they allow haters to ruin their content with toxic comments. This is very harmful for everyone. Please continue to take care of yourself.

[@dojoswitzer]

I have watched many of your Angelina reactions, if not all, and you have never said anything someone should find offensive and criticize. Haters and some unhappy people just need to bring other people down instead of figuring how to bring themselves up. Ignore those. You are not going to fix them.

[@Charles-uw9kh]

Thank you for your complete reaction. When you encounter hate comments don't read them, they don't deserve it. You can tell quickly the difference between constructive criticism and ranting, exit BS. I have one question, do you know "Arab Man Reacts", his name is Boudy and is a Lebanese singer. He was a very active, and respected reactor. He has not reacted for 4 months and was having health problems. If you can contact him let him know his fans are worried about him. I am from the US.
