First Time Hearing Angelina Jordan I Have Nothing (Whitney Houston) Reaction-MAKING IT HER OWN SONG!

[@BarrySowder]

Notice at 8:21, Angelina increases the power of each of the 3 "nothings", but then feathers off the end of the last one so that it blends seamlessly with the lighter, more whispery ending. That is just one of the superb choices in this rendition that shows once again Angelina's superb musicality.🙏

[@larrypifer1103]

Angelina Jordan is a once-in-a-millennium talent Jordan has consistently amazed both the public and professionals alike. Her ability to convey deep emotion through her music, coupled with her distinctive barefoot performances, has not only earned her a global fan base but also recognition from reputable media outlets and a contract with a major record label. Indeed, her natural gift for music and her mature interpretation of classic songs suggest that this artist came into the world with an innate brilliance that sets her apart. Angelina Jordan's journey from viral internet sensation to a celebrated young artist is a clear indication that her once-in-a-millennium talent continues to evolve and inspire. What AJ has cannot be taught, she was born with this phenomenal talent and a signature voice.

[@bobbyquinting3918]

Not a huge fan of song covers, but I can't help but falling in love with Angelina! ❤

[@ItsMe-cz1pi]

❤you have chosen wisely. She was 13 in the other version and killed it, but this is next level

[@pjg58x]

The amazing thing is that she is still only 16 in this video. It’s easy to forget sometimes that she is still just a teenager. Her voice will continue to mature and get even better.

[@robertanderson6494]

She is able to do ANYTHING vocally. She masterfully arranges so many iconic songs and presents them uniquely. Honestly, my favorite song of hers is the last one I hear.

[@robertsilva631]

Angelina adapts her voice to the needs of the song - not every song needs the power and the belts that Angelina is putting into I Have Nothing - that is part of her genius. The first single off her new all-original album will be released by the end of this month (April 2023) - the rest of the Album to follow in late Summer or Fall. The album will showcase not only Angelina's voice but her songwriting and collaboration skills - she has indicated that the theme of the album will have a retro-sixties style vibe.

[@roarkarlsen1584]

Wow the voice

What a tribute to WH !!!

[@GrandmaEllen]

Phil and Sam, good evening! Mh-mh-mh-mhhhh. The long velvet ribbon of that last note..... Yes, marvelous. Grandma Ellen, out.

[@gertwestblad9052]

The most beautiful rendition of this song ever. Pure earcandy I can listen to on repeat.. Other versions I never listen to more than once even if they are impressive enough..😊

[@gottabeemee]

This rendition reveals how Angelina can combine EMOTION, excellent lyrical interpretation and decorate it with vocal ornaments that are uniquely her very own... She gives the original singer tribute, but not as a karaoke 🎤 take on it or belting her way through it...She ends the song with a gorgeous, fading ribbon that is genius. As an ARTIST, she's cognizant of when to expose her powerful voice, necessary to accompany some of the lyrics, but she "belts" only as needed.. the ebb and flow of the voice, rising to the lyrics, or her unique, almost gently soft nuances accentuate a change of feeling, attitude or plea. Angelina never gives a NEVER presents us a "cookie cutter" (duplicate) of the original version... She expertly, meticulously covers every detail as she takes us along to enjoy her creativity.. her GIFT of taking a classic song and adding her artistic enhancements that make HER cover, a new CLASSIC for this era... I admire you both for giving credit where credit is due; you opened the door to a fantastic growth for your channel with your first reaction to Angelina.. having no idea of the # of responses AND number of faithful Angels who are more than willing to support your channel...thank you for giving Angelina and her Angels some credit for our part in the rapid impact... My biggest joy is watching your ear to ear grins, the wonder and admiration of her musical prowess that captivates you... Keep up the great work.. and you'll ENJOY the rewards of growth, and the amazing, beautifully GIFTED talent named Angelina Jordan... PEACE!! 🤗🎤🎼🔥🎵🎹🔥👏🏻🎶🎙️🎧🔥🎶

[@dogsoldiertoo1099]

I saw her Suspicious Minds rendition as more of a tribute to the memory of Elvis. It was soft and intimate. She didn't try to emulate the original. In this song she is turning loose and showing her true talent.

[@omidhope7456]

Thank you both for reacting to this masterpiece performance by Angelina. Every performance by the Barefoot Angel is the 'MOST' favorite for me because the comparative adjective 'MORE' doesn't apply to Angelina; the superlative adjective 'MOST' belongs to the Barefoot Angel regardless of her age.

[@marvinboswell6889]

She just such a huge vocal toolbox, she can change her sound at any second to add emotion to a word or change the volume on a note or word it just a unreal talent, the only other singers I've heard do that with perfection is Haley reinhart

[@davidcochran6291]

I'm not certain even a 17 year old Whitney could have done this better. Angelina has been in front of us so much and her output has been staggering. We have literally watched this girl grow-up. I can't remember ever having the access to an artist the way we have with Angelina. From 18 months to the present we've been privy to so much of her life. In great times to the darkest of circumstances we have had an unvarnished look into the growth of a SuperStar. Thanks kids for your insights and enthusiasm for music.

[@bboyshotty]

DEFINITELY check out "So Hyangs" version as well, or her in general! Her, Dimash, and AJ are THE holy trinity of "extra special" tier talent!

[@mrtonyo1965]

Simply beautiful. Easy listening

[@steved6092]

You've uploaded two amazing artists today, thank you ... Angelina always performs barefoot after meeting a young shoeless girl and giving her own shoes to the girl, she then went on to write a book about the experience and became the youngest published author in Norway ... (from Manchester, England)

[@poolhallshark]

Thanks a lot for an absolute top notch reaction 🙂 I still wish you'd be more interactive in the comments, but hey... The reaction was great. Happy Easter! Greetings from Norway 🐣🐣🐣

[@ooshta]

Hi PnS 👋. This is a awesome cover that 16 y.o. she Angelinalized and made her own. The other version she did when she was an early 13, she was trying out her skill of back phrasing on the tribute. She other versions last year in her July concerts of 2022 and she did a different version when she was invited to sing at the 20th Unforgettable Gala in December of 2022. Remember that Angelina never sings a song the same way twice. So they'll all be 1st time reactions. God bless you 🙏. 🙂👍❤🙏

[@hu._-]

Song is definitely a diva showpiece and exercises much of her dynamic range, She then works in vocal colorizations, inflections and other nuances that, though subtle, makes this her own. However, what I think makes this most memorable is her vocal connection to this song and the way she expresses it. There is some connection to her grandmother with this song which can be seen in a TikTok performace (has been copied to KZbin) where AJ is singing the song in a parking garage with her grandmother. They are hugging throughout the song and Mery breaks down in tears at the end.

[@geoffreynorth9046]

Definitely a strong connection to Mery - made explicity in her performance in Norway last July where she explicitly spoke about Mery just before singing: "don't you dare walk away from me...."

[@mtsteuerung6916]

Hi .. this video was recorded at Melrose Gallery in Los Angeles .. also recorded there "Suspicious Minds" and her Vlog-Style "My funny Valentine" .. keep your eyes and ears open .. !! Angelina announced a new song mid / end April ..

[@RobertDeMartin]

In the studio versions, more times than not there is a light shining behind her. All of us can interpret what that means, it is intentional. Continue with us on her journey. We will be with you all the way.

[@mikeconway9849]

She is becoming a really fantastic singer. As she gets into her mid-20s, she will be phenomenal.

[@johnshea9526]

She does a Awesome job on all her videos. I have two cover's of her I think you really need to check out. First one is I rather go blind by Etta James she is sitting on a blue velvet couch she was 13. The next one is I'm a fool to want you, she is wearing a yellow shirt with leaves on top of her Head singing into a mic. She is 11 years old.both of them will blow your mind. And yes she does not need anything special around her, no dancers, flashing lights, or loud instruments her voice is unbelievable and that is all she really needs and it's better than all the singers of today in my opinion. God bless

[@graciemizell8626]

Once again loved your reaction my Darlings Thank you for another Barefoot Princess song hugs be safe.🥰😍🤩

[@rongotwalt4487]

One of the greatest renditions of this iconic song ! Angelina gives the original a totally fresh and vibrant feeling ! The depth of her vocals really captures,captivates and mesmerizes her audience ! Only 16 in this video ,that's unbelievable how her voice resonates such maturity ! Angelina is a Diva in my mind and a vocal genius when it comes to her arrangement of her covers ! The world is about to experience her talent this year with the release of her debut album ! Thank you both for your continued support of our beautiful barefoot princess ! Much appreciated ! 👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️

[@briangriffith5408]

Thanks for the genuine reactions. It is refreshing. I would like to suggest that you react to one of Angelina's originals. That being said how about the studio version of her song, "Million Miles". She wrote that song for her grandpa.

[@ronraskind]

Guys, great commentary once again, personal and heartfelt. This was a great performance by Angelina but there is a bit of disagreement as to what the favorites are from her fans. This actually is not in her normal wheelhouse as she is not known as a diva. She can do it but her background is jazz and the classics, and of course some pop music. Music is very subjective. I would highly recommend if you haven't already, checking out her original music including what is life, shield, a million miles, and 7th Heaven. They are all stellar and very different from each other, but with personal messages in each. Always choose the live versions. On another note, thank you for continuing to support Angelina by featuring her, and providing links in your description. Consider that most viewers do not go to the description on their own and need a reminder. At the very beginning of your reaction, when you request viewers to like comment and subscribe to your channel to support you, why not request the same for your featured artists, in this case Angelina? They deserve the same as your channel as you depend on them for your own channel to thrive. Thanks again for all you do. Peace.

[@markkleckner3060]

Awesome reaction and to them that say her range is limited to Octaves, need to have their hearing checked! A Phenom at her best, more growth yet to come, God Bless!

[@christian53050]

...limited to octaves...??

[@In_my_own_mind]

I would disagree that her other stuff is like performances, cause what seperates Angelina from most others is that she always feel and almost live in the song with her emotions and she never just perform it like its rehearsed. When she sits in her bedroom and the notes just flows out its always so natural and organic.

[@keithserafy]

Exactly, well said!

[@pjg58x]

True. I don’t think she ever does the same song the same way. Each time she sings a song it’s a new experience. In her home made videos you can hear slight imperfections at times (sometimes in the lyrics) but she just continues because the emotion and feeling she wants is there. If she were to do several takes and try to copy the exact same feeling each time it probably wouldn’t seem genuine.

[@pjg58x]

I don’t think any of her songs are just performances. She has said that when she sings she is taken to another world and she feels the song. You can see that when she closes her eyes. She’s said that singing is like breathing for her. It’s a part of her. So I don’t think she’s ever just performing. She’s doing what she lives for, sing for the world.

[@CarlD70]

Exactly right, you nailed that. Thank you. Angelina does not "perform", she sings straight from her heart and soul every time.

[@mange2360]

This song was written by Linda Thompson, girlfriend of the great Elvis from 1972 - 1976, it is about her love to Elvis. That was a short story, It is truly a great song!

[@mikeplott4817]

Great Reaction 👍🙏👣

[@navrozelalkaka8457]

Lovely reaction, really enjoyed it. That performance by Angelina was superlative.

[@jimivison5837]

Hey, great reaction. Angelina is a once in a generation artist. I’ve followed her for at least two years now. I have to tell you that there is another young Lady that is making waves in the US. She is the same age as Angelina. She is from England and her name is Lucy Thomas. She has the most angelic voice I have ever heard. Some of her songs have close to 50 million views now. She has 4 albums out. Please give her a listen. I know you both liked PTX’s “Hallelujah”. Try her version, you will not be disappointed..

[@christian53050]

Lucy Thomas seems to be a fine singer with a clear strong voice, but what sets Angelina apart is the color and interpretation she can bring to the game, and since her main interest seems to be in the jazz tradition of singing, a la Billie Holiday, she has really focused on bringing in improvisational elements into her singing that are second to none...

[@jimivison5837]

@@christian53050 I can agree with you that Angelina has a great voice and a bright future. I love a lot of her music. Some not so much. But I suppose it’s a matter of preference. I like the young lady from Russian also but her name escapes me at the moment.

[@duanejohnson6271]

The Elvis "Suspicious Minds" and this version of Whitney Huston's "I Have Nothing" were recorded in that antique furniture store on the same day last summer. Remember that Rob Christie who accompanys her on the piano during the Suspicious Minds number is the Head of Studio Productions for Republic Records. Her first album of all Angelina written songs is finished and will be released later this year. Rob, himself a Grammy winner, has accompanied Angelina on several covers and originals during the last several years and has become an important friend of not only Angelina but her family as well. It is no accident that she signed to Republic. She has received help from Beyonce, Rhianna, and Sam Smith, all Republic artists that have a subsidiary interest called "Stargate." Try to listen to Angelina sing Rhianna's "Love OnThe Brain," or Sam Smith's "I'm Not The Only One."

[@103mrg]

Suspicious Minds was recorded before she performed in Norway last summer. I Have Nothing was recorded after she returned.

[@kevingood4644]

When she sang this at one of her concerts this summer she stated this was dedicated to her grandma Mery Zamani who’s not been too well recently..they’re incredibly close..I agree with those who say Angelina Is Mery’s finest work of art..as such, this song has a very different meaning to her angels than the version sung by Whitney Huston.

Excellent Choice. There is 3 sisters from Mexico that you need to react. Trust me on this. Us Angel lovers listen to them also. They are Called "The Warning" They have been singing together since they were very very young. They already have 4 Albums out all with original songs that they all 3 help write. The one you can start off with is The Live Version of "Disciple" at Tearto Metropolitan in CDMX, When the bass player turned 9 they did Metallica Enter Sandman and it went Viral 24 Million views. Dad put it on youtube so the Grandparents could watch it and Boom it blew up.

Hey Larry... I, like most Angels, read all the comments... But, even though a few Angels, boldly proceed to advertise or make requests for the reactors to listen to a singer/group, etc; but you added a whole Wikipedia of info as well... IMO, this is rude... it's like listening to reactors who want to hear a "cookie cutter" version cover, mention singers who they consider to be better than AJ... I'm not saying that the group you CLAIM, "us Angels love".... Uh... I don't think we need you to speak for Angels... And I've never seen a comment or comment to a comment that mentions love for your request/suggested listen... As you should know, Angels don't have any problems speaking what we think of a reaction... In this case, I'm respectfully stating you are out of the bounds when you add others to your request for a listen to one of your favs... Don't forget, this was an Angelina reaction... Not a platform on which you can stand and make statements like the one I pointed out... If you can show me stats that meet or exceed with Angelina's... Share them.. on a channel you run.. and feature other groups, singers... In Angelina's case... She falls into her own classification...thanks, Bro!

e pluribus u-num With all the gimmicks that are used in what is known as music today it is so refreshing to come across a being that does not need auto tune, lightshows, dancers, outrageous costumes, bands, or orchestras to cover their weaknesses because she has none. AJ can perform a Capella, or with one or two instruments to follow her lead and give you chills with each performance. I have always enjoyed all genres of music, and being 75, I have experienced the best the industry has to offer, from the early 50s, to 2023, but I have never been moved emotionally in the past anywhere close to what Angelina Jordan does from 7 to 17. When I heard Celine Dion perform in a tint in Québec when she was a child, I predicted she would be the next world superstar, and the rest is history. Celine did not sign a record contract until she was in her early 20s. David Foster, who made Celine a star flew to Norway after Angelina wone NGT and tried to sign her, but her family wanted to stay in control of her future. Angelina, at 13, appeared on AGT and getting worldwide recognition signed with the largest record company in the world at age 14, Republic Records. The story is that Monty Lipman, the CEO, and known as the Star Maker, personally signed her even without meeting AJ, he was shown a video of her performance. Angelina Jordan will be the next Super Nova very soon. As for being her biggest fan, e pluribus u-num.

Angelina -- 16 years old Then, there was that other singer (I think her name was Whitney?) -- 29 years old

[@sonofthesea3298]

The other version is simply her Tribute To Whitney Houston,always notice that about Angelina. If she feels like she cant do the song full justice yet,she does not call it a cover. You picked the right one, wich is her waiting until she matured abit more (her vocal chords became better in taking on this difficult song) She was basically just having fun,giving an online tribute video to Whitney wich her Grandma loves (in the other video),and through her also made Angelina a massive fan. Im not saying she did a bad job at the first one,but you might hear her voice slightly crack abit as she simply was too young to completely own that song. Over the years Angelina has gotten alot of comments like "she can only sing jazz",and i think she then decided to prove them wrong by actually attacking insanely difficult songs,like this one. Imagine that day when Angelina feels like shes as versatile as she wants to be? Pheeeeew! Shes gonna be the next Floor Jansen,if this continues.

I never used to listen to Whitney's songs because I didn't like the way she sang even though it was musically perfect and she was loved by everyone.
