FIRST TIME REACTING TO | ANGELINA JORDAN "CALIFORNIA DREAMIN' " REACTION

[@markkleckner3060]

Awesome and don't get tired of being in Awe of her, it's normal, God Bless!

[@ronjones1077]

Michell Phillips is the last surviving member of The Momas And Papas that wrote and recorded this song about 1966. She commented on Angelina's version here on YT and gave AJ huge praise.

[@KenChawkin]

Would love to see that, Ron. Do you have a link or a title to it?

[@103mrg]

@@KenChawkin I can tell you that Angelina's video was posted to the M's & P's official IG account. I saw it some time ago and I'm not sure if it's still up.

Everything AJ does is absolutely necessary, and she never overdoes anything, perfection is Angelina Jordan.

[@larrypifer1103]

Angelina Jordan epitomizes the word ARTIST. There is something about every cover AJ does, they always sound much better than you have ever experienced them in the past. It is more than remarkable; it is astonishing how she affects one's innermost being by drawing you in and holding you as you anticipate each heartwarming phrase.

[@EA-yd9vw]

One of the truly remarkable aspects of Angelina Jordan is the return to the voice with minimal accompaniment that she allows after so many decades of great shows where the sight ended up winning over the voice. Thanks to her vocal abilities, her taste and her deep musical sense, a very young girl (and even at the beginning a child) has achieved this small feat of putting the voice back in the center of the game. Wonderful!

[@sedigives]

Masterclass performance after another & still, she's just practicing for what's to come!

[@alpeach9480]

Surely every superlative in the dictionary has been used by now to describe Angelina, but what about this beautiful guitarist ? Tasteful, sparse, perfectly timed, an outstanding complement to Angelina. She deserves nothing less !!

[@albertphilippi4371]

Ivan Mendez was Angelina's (12y) guitarist in LA in 2018. In an interview with Alan Papier on his KZbin channel, Ivan told the story of how the cover came about. In a nutshell "Angelina doesn't have a wish list of songs, she decides spontaneously if she likes a song. After hearing this song she says great song and has downloaded the lyrics. Then Ivan played the melody and Angelina says" good but slower, slower , even slower. OK, well, let's start ". Then the cover was recorded in one take, Angelina sang the song here for the first time after her arrangement without rehearsing beforehand. 💯 *AJ* 💯 BTW, I read a comment a few years ago from a California medical officer stationed in Iraq. She reported that since she and her comrades heard this cover by Angelina for the first time, the song played again and again, every day and her tears also ran, a mixture of a little sadness and a lot of joy, the soldier described it as a warm hug from home . I would like Angelina to find out about her serious positive influence on her fans🤗

[@newtron9]

Her unmistakable signatures keep me coming back for more every day!

[@RoguishlyHandsome]

It's like she's hugging your soul with her voice. You can just put this in your headphones and instantly feel better.

[@alanoakley3242]

This transformative rendition marked the moment I knew we're probably witnessing a genius. Confirmation came when AGT aired.

[@pietersbart]

WOW is a very accurate reaction :-) It is such a beautiful rendition. The original is a little more upbeat and more complex with 4 people singing together. Angelina as per usual slows it down and strips it down and adds a lot of melancholy. It is so beautiful, thanks for your reaction!

[@billpaine6241]

One of the brilliant things Angelina does in this rendition is to use her mastery of riffs and runs to trick our ears into hearing the original’s four part harmonies.

[@mauistevebear]

Ironically, she was California Dreaming and went to L.A. to live where she is now. My favorite statement from you: "Like Butter on Mashed Potatoes; Like Icing on Cake" She put so much soul into this song, nothing like the original, yet she kept it recognizable! Her choices are nothing short of genius!!!

[@massimoseganti8687]

The girl has courage to spare! Wonderful song and known for 3 generations but, Angelina extracts your "stamp" and sticks it to the piece She, microphone and Ivan Mendez on guitar is enough to make an amazing cover. Thanks Britt, good life. ..Maximum🥰

[@bills5268]

I think that mike is her magic mike...the one she first used on "I'd Rather Go Blind." Angelina takes this classic pop song from the late 60s, slows down the tempo, and gives it the melancholy that the lyrics call for. Brilliant.

[@nestordepoli]

Wow, this is wonderful, Angelina not only gives another meaning to the song, she brings past songs to life, with her mastery of voice and interpretation, Angelina, enlightened and eternal...

[@navrozelalkaka8457]

Loved your unapologetic SHOCK....

[@PhilipKnopp]

"Butter? ...you betcha!" ...reaction phrase for the season!

[@Christian-DH]

After hearing Angelina sing this song, I can't even recall what the Mama's and the Papa's sounded like. And i grew up to songs like this.

[@103mrg]

In my opinion, the gold standard for Angelina reaction videos, especially if they're covers (since she almost always puts her own spin on the song), is an approach where the/an original is shown first (maybe all of it or just a minute or so), before watching Angelina's version. This establishes a context, which will enable people to better understand her genius, making the experience of Angelina much more meaningful and, of course, more enjoyable. I think this method ought to be mandatory for anyone who reacts to Angelina! ;-)

[@kwoemm]

for me the best cover she ever did.❤

[@secretarchivesofthevatican]

She massively improves on the melody of the original - she brings in a middle eastern element (possibly from her own background). It transforms the song.

[@ooshta]

Hi Britt and thanks for that awesome and fun reaction 12 Angelina. Ivan Mendez was the guitarist. He was her guitarist in these videos when she was 12. This way you'll always know that also. The last remaining member of the Mamas and Papas, Michelle Phillips loved Angie's version and even posted it with a nice praise and complement along with Angie's videos. 👍❤

[@thomaslarsonyt4429]

Hey Brit! I know this song, you couldn't be cruzing on a Saturday night without hearing it on the radio.(dating myself!) Absolutely iconic folk- pop song that I heard a thousand times in my life and then this young girl grabs it along with my SOUL and reinvents it! Great reaction to Ivan and Angelina and the song contrasted by her soulful singing and youthful glee with her Donald Duck shirt and sweet " Bye!"

[@alanbeaumont6997]

Wow! beautiful Wow!

[@clydeatrowbridge]

the way she changes tempo....love ur reacts

[@dsgp7835]

Angelina was very prolific around this age with all the covers. To me it's a very important time to witness this true prodigy. Her genius is on clear display, not only that soulful tone of her voice but her musical intellect in her arrangements. We know from interviews with her guitar players that the takes were few if any. Personally for me, she made these songs all hers, as if written for her by her. I remember the originals when new and everyone of them Angelina claims every note. NO NEED TO LISTEN TO ORIGINALS!!

[@rayarama1668]

Your going to be astonishingly stunned when you hear Angelina singing lovin you, I don't know how such a voice comes from a small child. This is one of my favourite I dare you to react you'll hear why??????

[@EarnestMasumoto]

Yup. I noticed the rephrasing at the start of the song. She made it her own.

[@daleschiissler8525]

Her parents got her that mic for her 12th birthday. It was well worth it.

[@lesgray8709]

Angelina reinvented this song, the original was more upbeat and faster pace (It did have the most amazing harmonies). Angelina strips it back, slows it down and tells us the story - she brings us the reality of the cold winter's day, the warmth of LA being just a dream. If you take a step back and consider how Angelina may have seen it - Living in Oslo, the winters can be cold, she has family in LA so had visited there, so, in 2018 she got to live the dream - uncle Mike setup everything for their move to LA - to make the dream real life...

[@brentravnsborg2782]

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

Love these songs she did with Ivan Mendez, way back when she was 12. They are raw, real jam sessions and show her instinctive musicality so well.

[@johnvasi]

Just two comments: if you listen to the smash 1960’s original by the Mamas and the Papas, you’d be more astonished. It was their song, their sound, their harmonies that were completely distinctive. Angelina does what she does-respects the original, but blows you away with her stunning uniquely beautiful take that makes the song hers completely. Secondly, I’m so glad you have earphones. Give yourself a treat and listen again to A Million Years Ago, or Billie Jean, or… Hard to believe, but you’ll be more stunned than the first time you listened.

[@kenvo343]

wait until you listen to the original and you will finally understand the genius named Angelina Jordan.

[@kentovewagenes1141]

Could not believe that a girl with a Donald Duck sweather could give me so much emotions... but here she is ❤️❤️❤️

[@geoffreynorth9046]

One of my favourites (I understand it is changed markedly relative to the origina): did you notice a lot of "eyes rolling back" in this one :)

[@curieusechine]

Hi Britt, For the microphone, I think it is a Neumann TLM 102 or 103. Angelina's most discerning fans should be able to confirm this more accurately. In any case, it's a very good mic, very well suited to Angelina's voice and all the subtle nuances she distills throughout the song. Thank you for your reaction. Gilles

[@bblair502]

I believe the microphone is the TLM 102 version. The 103 version has a satin finish trim ring instead of the polished trim ring.

Angelina Jordan won Norway’s Got Talent at the age of 8 in 2014, the prize for winning was $80,000.00, this money was donated to children’s charities. At age 8 her first charity performance was in Germany to raise money for heart disease. Again, at age 8 she does a telethon for Plan International Children’s Charity. Still at age 8 she performs for Norwegian Sea Rescue Society Charity. On the 12th of Dec still at age 8, she performs at Save The Child Nobel Peace Prize, 4 days later, even though she has a very bad cold, she performs for the Swedish Heroes Foundation against her doctor's orders. At age 10 she performed for the Norwegian Refugee Council Charity. Also age 10 she performed in Seoul in South Korea for Rotary International to raise money for children’s vaccinations. Angelina Jordan comes from a very wealthy family and does need the money, she, and her family want to share her wonderful talent with the world. This is what makes AJ and her family so very special. This information was on Alan's Pod Cast.

[@jojow.2158]

first to say this is a maybe educated guess or speculation of me without proof at all how Angelina goes into a new Cover - first she read the lyrics and Prozesses them in her Magic mind how the meanig can be expressed the most sincere - than she works out a melody to it and fusion lyrics and music together - at last she listened to the Real music and choose how that fit best and in this Video you see the conclusion - pls Britt listen to the Original and you will see my point - Angelina will be the Goat in the music books to come

She turned the song into a ballad, which it is. Just as The sound of silence is a ballad. And I love both. Daniel Temmet said : every word is bird that you can teach to to sing. And she does, the words sing.

[@tont3777]

Hey Britt…another great reaction! I don’t read too many comments so I’m not sure of your background, however you obviously have some degree of musical training. Your comments really are very well informed and you are as attentive to AJ’s music as any reactor I have seen. Thank you so much for what you do. A couple of observations though, firstly you mentioned that the songs she chooses are really very well suited to her voice and style - yes, but I would also suggest that it is not the song that is necessarily suited but rather her arrangement or rearrangement that “just makes it!”! Secondly, you mentioned that you don’t know the song - please go and listen to the original! Fantastic as the original was, it really highlights the fact that not only does AJ have this amazing gift of vocal beauty but also an amazing ability to take an old song which has meaning to her and and totally redefine it! There are many beautiful voices out there but this combination is such a thing of beauty. Like many of my fellow fans I leak from the eyes regularly. I will also mention that this leakage is often now not really due to her voice but rather seeing the impact of her voice on the likes of you and your contemporaries - it allows me to relive my own first time on each song time and time again. Peace!

Angelina is so great in this video California Dreams maybe she lives now in LA great reaction Britt.

[@richardduffy3115]

This is an iconic song by the Mamas and the Papas . I'm thinking Angie is 11 here and you can tell English is not her first language in the way she says certain words. She has such great taste in music and is so creative in how she chooses to sing these timeless songs.

[@103mrg]

richard The mistaking her pronunciation as some kind of deficiency is what people not overly familiar with her vocals conclude. She plays with the words to create interesting sounds. These are all stylistic choices. A friend of the family who has known Angelina since she was 2 commented that her level of English proficiency was so advanced at a young age that English, like Norwegian, is practically her native tongue.

[@DonaldLancon]

Just for the record, we have plenty of evidence that she grew up speaking (at least) both English and Norwegian [see first note below]. In fact, I'm not even sure it's correct to say that English was "not her first language" - it might be her "co-native language", as it were. Everyone assumes that Norwegian was her first language because she was born in Oslo, but that's not necessarily the case. After all, her parents speak at least 5 different languages between them [note 2], and Angelina had lived in at least 3 different countries before she turned 7 [note 3]. So the matter of what her native language(s) might be is… complicated. Now, at the time she recorded this cover (when she was 12 - everything she did with this guitarist was when she was 12), she had just moved to the U.S. after having lived in Oslo for the previous 5 or 6 years. So, it is possible that her English pronunciation had been affected by that. But when you hear her actually speak (not sing) in English in interviews around that time [note 4], her "non-native status" is given away more by her word choices than her pronunciation. 1. In addition to singing songs in English from the age of 1½, there is this video of her speaking both English and Norwegian to her pet bird at 3 or 4 years of age kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIjPp4WibJV3e5o and this one where she is speaking English conversationally at 5 or 6 kzbin.info/www/bejne/moGtfWmrZ7OYack (the video title claims she was 5, but based on the fact that she name-checks her sister, I think it is likely that she was already 6 [Juliette was born 8 weeks after Angelina's 6th birthday]). 2. In no particular order: English, Japanese, Persian, Norwegian, and Swedish. 3. Norway, the United States, and somewhere in the Middle East (likely Iran). Of these, it seems that she lived the longest in the U.S., according to an in-depth article about her from December 2017 (the relevant quote: "When Angelina was younger, her family lived different places around the world, mostly in the United States."). 4. See, for example, her interview on _Skavlan_ when she was 12 (almost 13 - about 6 months after this cover was posted) kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2jLm4qdabmiiLM (they speak Norwegian for the first 35 seconds and then switch to English) and this interview from just before her appearance on _America's Got Talent: The Champions_ when she was 13 kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmesi2CVoa-FaNU . For comparison, see this little promotional clip from when she was 9 (almost 10) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpWTeHmId5Jlq5o just before her book was published.

This song is like lace on music, fine thin treats she weaves together like only she can.

[@paulwagner9303]

Watching the original is always a good idea - Angelina's interpretation will look even more fabulous afterwards. But I understand the time pressure considering there are 10 reactions every day. If you don't know the original at all, it's still recommended.

[@hannuhedman5882]

Her singing is mind blowing (of course) but the Donald Duck shirt ia a little bit funny when singing something like this...😀

Britt, personally I believe you can better appreciate the choices Angelina makes if you hear at least part of the original song. I will post a poll for the angels to VOTE on whether they prefer you to listen to part of the original before reacting to Angelina's cover. VOTE by clicking the LIKE button on the replies below.

[@ronlim5402]

I was just going to write the same comment but adding that it's a good idea because Angelina makes such new versions of lots of songs. Some are close to the original and some like this one are completely different. It shows off her re-interpretation skills.

[@hanssolo4ever]

I am soo glad you picked this song to review.

[@DonaldLancon]

It seems that Angelina might have a special connection to this song. As others have already pointed out, she had just moved from Oslo to Los Angeles when she recorded this cover. (So, she had literally been in Norway "dreaming" of coming to California just a matter of months before she recorded this.) But what is not as widely known is that she wasn't just moving "to" the U.S. when she came here in early 2018, she was moving *back to* the U.S. - she actually spent much of her early childhood here. (This according to a rather extensive article about her from December 2017, which states: "When Angelina was younger, her family lived different places around the world, mostly in the United States.") Knowing that makes the line about being "safe and warm… in L.A." hit a little differently…

[@andreletourneau]

You must know the original but you don't recognize it because the tempo is completely different. This song is a classic from the 60s/hippy era. You should definitely listen to the Mama's and the Papa's version ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/hF7EfGmAo955o80 ). AJ's version is actually much more in line with the mood of the lyrics. In the original the tempo doesn't really fit the mood of the lyrics . Though It is still a good track inline with the era's mood.

Hey, Britt. Another lovely reaction. I know that you're on a tear with your exploding channel. Congratulations! But I think that you would benefit sometimes when you are reacting to a cover that you aren't familiar with (especially with Angelina) by taking just a few seconds to listen to just a small piece of the original song first. Angelina sang this very differently than the original.

[@KenChawkin]

Good suggestion. Some reactors actually play a clip of the original to appreciate what Angelina has done with that song. Other reactors like @alanpapier give listeners a history of a song, different artists who have sung it, and then concludes with Angelina's stellar version.

No, it doesn't sound better! Her vocal elaborations are vastly excessive to requirements, especially on this song. Could be a generational thing, but I doubt it. It comes across as showing off one's vocal prowress, and simply gets in the way of the song. An already great, nigh perfect song doesn't need it!
