FIRST TIME REACTING TO | ANGELINA JORDAN "FLY ME TO THE MOON" (QUINCY JONES ARRANGEMENT) REACTION

[@pa1189j]

There is a rather blurry video of her actual O2 performance on my YT channel. It includes the same audio as this with a little more at each end.

[@ClifftheBigRedDoggy]

I love this. Your channel has so much great Angelina stuff. You can spend days on your channel. Thanks for all the support you give Angelina.

[@ronjones1077]

Another gem you documented. Thank you for all the support and love you give to Angelina

[@steve1711]

Went to the O2 Quincy Jones concert to watch Mick Hucknall and several others who were on the bill. Big shock to see this young girl open the show - she wasn't even on the program. Been following her ever since and finally got to see her in concert again last summer in Norway.

[@rogercarriere4756]

I am jealous 😉

[@michinawi22able]

Lucky you!!! 🍀 ❤

[@marvinboswell3820]

You a lucky person .wish I'd been there

[@jwichman9]

Wow! I envy you! Hope to see her when she starts touring!

[@roddiener1235]

These are top-tier musicians with first-class production, this is major league BIG TIME! AND SHE KILLS IT!!!

[@ClifftheBigRedDoggy]

Imagine being invited by Quincy Jones himself to perform at his 85th birthday. One of the biggest songs he arranged for Frank Sinatra when Quincy was his band leader. Later he'd go one to produce 2 of the biggest albums of all time for Micheal Jackson. There is an awesome video of Angelina and Quincy backstage together. (Britt has reacted to this already. Find it on her list)

[@marvinboswell6889]

She has already lived the life of a world star and is still only in her beginning

[@RobertDeMartin]

It's always something special when you see and hear members of the orchestra applaud the performer.

[@gottabeemee]

Angelina's Dream Come True kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3fXd3upZ6maa6c This video shows her actual performance the night at O2... She HAD to be in her "7th Heaven"... What a magical night it must've been...and to be given the opening start spot was indeed an honor... Too bad you weren't provided more details regarding the claim it wasn't the actual rehearsal 🤔🤔🤔???? One thing is undeniable, she did a great job, and confirmed what QJ said about her "Angelina has one of the best voices since Michael Jackson"...my vote to his comment is a resounding "YAAASSSSS!!" PEACE 🎶🎵🎼❤️🎤🎹🎧🔥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌟⭐🌟⭐🌟⭐👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@mldkenny]

One voice and a room full of musicians and producers, says it all really as to her stature!

[@TheBjornwilly]

She is fearless when singing, always has been. She has superstar written all over her 💗

[@Hazealot006]

When she sings the last 'you', she gestures towards Quincy 💖

[@pietersbart]

Yeah playful is a great way to describe it! She is doing a fluttering duet with all the instruments and does a pretty dance with them around the rest. This was the arrangement Quincy made for Frank Sinatra. Angelina was invited to perform for Quincy Jones 85th birthday party in the O2 arena. She wasn't announced, kicked the party of and, according to someone in the audience, was al the talk afterwards. Quincy compared her talent to Michael Jackson's.

[@most2dot0]

Fly Me To The Moon is sort of Angelina's signature song, she did it more often than any other title, with different arrangements, from just a guitar via jazz and big bands to orchestra. I think there are videos of her doing it on more than 30 occasions, including rehearsals and fragments. Here is a playlist with 15 performances (incl. also some rehearsals): kzbin.info/aero/PLddfS789jBCo_nnnQYEXccTvuX8PcoSqt

[@KenChawkin]

These words from the song-Fill my heart with song and let me sing for evermore-echo Angelina Jordan's mission in life. When she was 10 years old, Angelina told the interviewer for a Norway TV News Feature: "I want to sing for the whole world. Singing is as important as breathing to me. I just love to sing."

[@larrypifer1103]

This is actually the sound of the rehearsal, not from the performance, no one has published the live performance with good sound like this is. AJ's voice was mixed after the rehearsal, so the instruments did not drown her out. I have seen the original recordings of the rehearsal and you can hardly hear AJ's voice. One of the things you miss by seeing this version that is truncated is AJ telling the conductor how she wanted the music played for her, she was in control, at 12 years old.

[@dsgp7835]

Angelina dances over the top of this beautiful Quincy Jones arrangement like a ballerina. Still just a young teenager here, she sings this like one of the greats of the forties or fifties. Angelina is very special.

[@dianedove1000]

She wasn’t a teenager yet, just 12.

[@dsgp7835]

@@dianedove1000 Even more amazing! I knew she was very young. Commanding an esteemed orchestra such a this doesn't just happen to anyone, her reputation precedes her. Can't wait for Angelina's album.

[@ek-1707]

It was Quincy Jone's original arrangement that he did for Frank Sinatra back in the 50s.

[@thomshin2460]

Great reaction to the Princess thank you :)

[@larryward7380]

Thanks for your continued reactions to the genius talent of Angelina

[@christian53050]

Professionalism all the way through. Nice to see how the conductor at 3:47 hands over the part to Angelina "on a platter".

[@TheBlaster54]

This twelve year old Angelina performing like the pro she is.

[@alanoakley3242]

Angelina shared the stage with some big names that summer evening at the O2 but she was not overawed nor in search of a place to hide when the performers gathered for the finale. Indeed, one wonders what stars like Mick Hucknall, Lalah Hathaway, Paul Weller, Beverley Knight, Corinne Bailey Rae, Jeff Buckley and Mick Ronson made of the precocious, elaborately coiffured, white-gowned 12-year-old's tenacious barefoot occupation of centre-stage even after she sang her allotted line from Man In The mirror.

[@ooshta]

Hi Britt 👋. What a great reaction to 12 Angelina. Love how you get it about how big of an event she was at. The O2 arena in London is a great place and to think Angelina was invited by QJ himself to open his 85th birthday concert. She was a special guest to do this for she wasn't even on the program for the event. Britt, did you know this is were Mark Ronson 1st saw and met her. He was so impressed that he gave her the original back track to his and Miley Cirus song "Nothing breaks like a heart", which she at 13 not to long after this big birthday event. Also during the event Madonna was ask by a reporter in London what she thought about Angelina and she said "She’s Terrifying". That said it all. The industry truly is aware of her for some time now. God bless you sweetie 🙏. ❤😀👍🙏

[@albertstern1945]

That was awesome. She makes everything look so easy and natural, when it is not. She puts a lot of practice and effort into All her performances.

[@primordialsimilarity6262]

Britt you do know that Angelina was personally invited to perform this song by Quincy Jones at his 85 🎉 birthday celebration at the O2 Arena

[@yves2932]

Well, it wasnt an Angelina Jordan concert. Its was Quincy Jones birthday gala with the Who is who of the industry in the audience (20k ppl). But she has played for bigger audiences, 40k people at a charity gala in Korea at age 10, at 12/13 opening for Norah Jones before 40k ppl in Korea, exciting the crowd: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaGqeIJpp65jbLM

[@capstan50g]

Great big band feel here, and AJ sounds like a pro. Love your reaction, Britt!

[@RoguishlyHandsome]

Her voice is so pretty in this one. Absolute delight.

[@quinjesuis9187]

That is just too much beautiful, Angelina Jordan is fabulous and the arrangement was flawless by Quincy Jones, your reaction Britt is full of joy and amazement and yeah its mind blowing how much Angelina has done and is still doing 🙏

[@markkleckner3060]

Awesome reaction to me could have been released as is even though it was a rehearsal, God Bless!

[@judithhopper1368]

Thank you for your wonderful reaction. So glad you enjoyed listening to Angelina's amazing voice. She has an incredible gift and manages to pull each of us into her magical world. God bless you Angelina. I'm just 1 of your millions of followers and plan on spending many years ahead watching you grow up and spreading your musical talents for all to hear.

[@dianedove1000]

Quincy originally made that arrangement for Frank Sinatra, and he asked Angelina to sing it for his birthday.

[@gtir300hp]

I am so glad someone told you about this Britt. This is one of my faverates. There is also another video footage of this too. I think the camera is a little higher. The camera also pans around to the right where you can see Angelina's mum Sara, Uncle Mike. That vid you could see Angelina getting the music changed on the music sheets. That was a big Orchestra. They changed the sheets on everybody's sheets. It was Angelina that walked up to the conductor and told him, the music sheets are not quite right. Could not here what Angelina said. But that was the impression I got. I not sure where I found this video. I think it was Rusty Shackletons Channel. They played that song twice in that video. Not having a musical history it sounded perfect to me both times. Angelina certainly noticed something not quite right. I think Angelina was only 13 years old here or just a little older. Steve from NZ.

[@paulwagner9303]

Philipp did a great job stabilizing the video and matching it to the audio track of the radio broadcast stage version. The original recording is from the balcony, so the orchestra is between cell phone mic and Angelina and therefore the singing is overlaid with the big band sound. But it's worth watching this recording too, because the stabilized version is missing the first three minutes, which are very interesting because they say something about how Angelina can work with such a large orchestra and how the musicians accept her. Not important, but nice: you can see better how tall she is at 12 1/2 years old. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYuVfIVnjrKshac

[@RonnyWilhelmsen1001]

I have never seen nor heard this one, Britt. Thank you! What a gem. What an orchestra.

[@tomwhite4736]

The actual performance. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3fXd3upZ6maa6c

[@steenagers7270]

I think this is the actual rehersal sound, unedited? You can hear the orchestra applauding in the end. I think Quincy Jones arrangement means it was made for his birthday, not by him.

[@dhr2330]

Wow, there is so many musicians and music performers that you have yet to find, I've been digging through KZbin since the beginning, I will never send you a cam video, and I will never send you anything that didn't really impress me, most of it will be shocking and definitely new to your channel, for me music has been an adventure that never has an end, I keep discovering bands and performers I never knew existed. You are one of the most authentic reactors I have come across, I appreciate you and your reactions, I know you're trying to grow your channel, reactors get on the bandwagon of certain bands and artists, and that's all right, but variety and discovering new sounds is my forte.

[@bkcess]

I know you love love Dolly Parton. Please react to he singing “I will always Love You.” I think you’ll be surprised who wrote it.

[@poolhallshark]

Yes, Britt. Angelina has huge feet. (I think that's what you said, right ?? 😁) But hey, she's 6'1 so that figures. Quincy has said in interviews that he has never seen such a gargantuan talent like Angelina since Michael Jackson. And HE should know, having produced MJ's first 3 albums. Great words from a great man. To a great singer 🥰 Love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

[@Hundhammer]

Hej PHS, happy to meet you here... I missed you in the comments for Adrianna's first ever encounter with Isyana, hope you'll be getting there at some point, we're waiting for your suggestions... :) And another thing: One year ago I watched and initiated a lot of reactions to Japanese diva MISIA, but that was before we made friends so I did not think of suggesting her to you, but as I just watched a new reaction to her which popped up in my suggestions (I'm a subscriber to the channel because of Angelina...) I was reminded of her and thought you surely would dig her. The performance I'll suggest to you below is not the one 'DAME' reacted to, so you can still go and watch that one on his channel (just filter 'MISIA' for 'today' and you'll find it...) - I also suggested the following one to him, and as he was deeply impressed with "Higher Love" I think we'll get his reaction to 'Ashitae' soon (I gave some background information on the song itself in my comment there, but it's not necessary to get the gargantomanic scale of MISIA's performance, I also had no idea about the song when I first discovered it but had hot tears rolling down my cheeks for about the first 20 times I watched her, it's beyond epic...) MISIA - 明日へ ('Ashitae') / THE FIRST TAKE kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKLHYaqkjMR7eas 💗💗💗

[@poolhallshark]

@@Hundhammer Wow. Gotta check that out this evening. Thanks, Dominik👍❤️

[@mortenBP]

I've never heard before that the sound was altered. As far as i know, what you hear is what you see.

[@pa1189j]

The sound from the rehearsal itself is available on YT, but it is frankly almost unlistenable. It received quite a lot of rather rude and uninformed comments. To balance that, I already had a very clean version of the sound from a broadcast of the concert and attempted to synchronise them. And about 25 edits later it was made. We’ve constantly been watching for a pro video recording from the event but nothing emerged.

[@ABC2345eee]

The flute is excellent so is the piano.

[@AbbieCrescendo]

Loved it, thank you Britt.

[@eldwynworster3782]

you really do the best job on what your doing

[@charlesmarkley220]

All those things great musicians are playing for her and sings to them.

[@andywalker8064]

This child... holy crap! The people who love her are waiting to really let her fly until she's ready. I think that's wise. She is gonna conquer the world someday soon. Will be epic! ❤

[@lesgray8709]

Great reaction - yes Angelina earns the respect of all the musicians that she works with - I'm sure that they will all be able to tell the story of how they once worked with Angelina Jordan!

[@waldemarwojtan1717]

As usual, a vocal master piece

[@victorduffany7723]

I love her voice. She just seems to wrap you up in warmth of her voice. And she was just 12 years old.

[@edsonluizdeoliveira6430]

Very good

[@sulatlalaki]

The mixing quality was probably so good because they had a soundboard and they recorded out of the soundboard and mixed it that way.

[@boz352]

Yes, it was great, it was absolutely wonderful. Thanks, Britt.

[@davidphillips4476]

AJ is just such a musical savant, timeless sound in a young, young woman. Our Barefooted Princess.

[@martinstenitzer8782]

What a masterpiece, better isnt possibel, the bigband woooooow and angelina is pur perfection...i hope her new cd has this quality, with many of the best musicians 👑♥️🌹💫

[@katherandefy]

Hi Britt. Thanks sm for sharing your take with us. I learn so much from you! I would love to hear what think of the band Chicago.

[@jwichman9]

Our little songbird! Dang she just blows me away every time!

[@vickie5ft2]

🥰🥰🥰

[@angelightification]

Angelina has sung for David Foster & others🌀

[@Bulle4u]

AG would probably have started singing anyways, but her affection for jazz started when her grandmom played her old jazz records already when she was just a few years old. Billie, Frankie etc. so grandmom for sure knew about Quincy Jones from way back. She can be seen at the far right at about 4:18 and better in the beginning of the original video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYuVfIVnjrKshac), black dress, first to the right og Angelina, then proudly filming her grandchild. I really hope granny got to meet Quincy as well!

[@patriciasepulveda1264]

You'll see the director leave a moment .. perhaps cause there was a problem with the sound? This is a big orchestra .. Quincy's, of course. She looked totally comfortable and relaxed .. what a pro!

[@davelegget1000]

to be able to sing this song as she does at age 12 is just short of unbelievable .

[@wilfriedmatusch9293]

Great job

[@martasahlgren3456]

Epic!

[@joey10473]

That was the arrangement he wrote for Frank Sinatra. Our Angel did it very well. And, so did you. Your road to 100,000 keeps getting shorter.

[@williamhensley5311]

In the video about 9 seconds in there is a music stand to our right of Angelina. An obsevant person would note that it say LSO St Lukes. Now I'm not saying the orchestra she's rehersing with is the London Symphony Orchesrta but the space they are using is theirs. But Iwould like to know what orchestra it actually is.

[@pa1189j]

It’s a scratch orchestra put together for the event by the conductor.

[@loufur4502]

My favourite video of her doing this song

[@Hundhammer]

💗💗💗💗

[@BobSmith-lb9nc]

Nice to know that someone so young actually knows how important Quincy Jones is.

[@UniversalDisinformation]

Absolutely the best cover ever!!

[@marvinalmacin4094]

Please listen to Gigi de Lana’s cover of this song and tell me who’s better 😀

[@CarlD70]

Actually Britt, the original audio from the rehearsal, on a cellphone or handheld camera was pure crap. Thanks to Angelina fan PA1189j for fixing this with the concert audio, otherwise not listenable. 🥰🥰

[@tomwhite4736]

Yes the rehearsal audio is extremely poor but that video is very enjoyable to watch as it shows more information/ interaction . It's the authenticity I like .

[@kylesummers1565]

Beautiful. You should check out the original as well for context. Peace, Love!!

[@johnshea9526]

This version is a little more up beat than her earlier version of this song and truly I would have to go with her earlier version. This one is more his way . She has already proven that her arrangement and beat to the song fits her better with out all the theatrical spin on it great beat but not as good as her's that's why I say let her be herself and not what others want her to be. God bless

[@tomrogers1305]

You seem impressed that she sang at the 02 Arena. How many 12 year olds has Quincy ask to perform for him? That's the honor.

[@nfpnone8248]

Took you long enough. But this is actually the actual recording for the show, the audio for the rehearsal is poor, but it’s still very much worth a listen, I actually like how she interacted with the orchestra to get it a little more in her lane, because the Quincy Jones arrangement is a little fast for her. There are several videos of her rehearsals and she always wears shoes, and she loves her shoes, but performances, including videos of studio recordings, she is shoeless, as you can observe in her “Back to Black” studio recording where they show her taking her shoes off before she begins.

[@tomwhite4736]

Britt actually acknowledged that it was not the rehearsal audio . I also prefer the unedited video with rehearsal sound which as you say shows more interaction .

[@brankovisnjovic2438]

Applaus von Musikern ❤❤❤ 👍👍👍

The camera is being held by her mother. It’s all over the place

[@massimoseganti8687]

Engaged for QUINCY JONES' birthday maybe still underage, and I just say maybe there is someone who understands a lot of music and doesn't miss the opportunity to have Angelina at the microphone, proof that, if recorded on disk, it would already be perfect, Thanks Britt..Massimo

That recording can not be from the actual performance. The conductor began talking to Angelina at the very end, and not nearly the applause you would expect from a packed house. Someone was mistaken.
