I am so jealous, that you are just discovering the wonder, that is Angelina Jordan!!! You are truly in for the ride of your life 😊 For me, I am often at a loss for words, when trying to describe Angelina Jordan's voice, or what genre she fits in, & I have come to accept, that she does not fit in any category, or genre, & is simply in league all of her own.....One thing I do know though, is every time I hear her voice, it touches my heart & brings out emotions, some of which, I didn't even know existed! What an amazing gift Angelina is!!! 💝 Really enjoyed your reaction!!!

[@wallchris75]

I never get tired of seeing people's reaction to hearing this for the first time 😂

[@Mister.315]

She's 9 here. This is her arrangement of a mid 1950s original by Screamin Jay Hawkins. She took his more theatrical piece and made a serious jazz song from it. She has been singing jazz since she was 3 and learned it from Billie Holiday. That is her foundational level of skills. She pushed her mom into letting her compete in Norway's Got Talent when she was 7 and won singing jazz and blues in her third language, English. She's 17 tomorrow. Welcome to Angelina's Wonderland of musical discovery. Great reaction.

[@brittreacts]

Thanks for this info!!!

[@poolhallshark]

@@brittreacts I just want to add something here, to give you yet another layer to this performance. I don't know if you are familiar with Screamin' Jay Hawkins' original recording of this, and if you're NOT, then you just have to watch it. Like for real for real. Then you will understand SO much more about what Angelina actually did here, that would otherwise pass under the radar. I will give you the link, and I really suggest you listen to it, and then listen to Angelina right after. It is just completely mind blowing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZyqgZumq9anhcU ENJOY !

Thanks Britt. This is the best first time AJ reaction I’ve heard. You are insightful to know she is a true gift and old soul. She is able to channel the emotion, wisdom , and life experience of the Jazz greats that came before her. At the age of 7 she auditioned for Norways got talent (her native home and tongue) where she performed “Gloomy Sunday” by Billie Holiday. The judge’s comments to each other were “it sounds like she was drink whisky from when she was born”. I’m sure one of the other Angels (fans of AJ) will fill you in on the rest. Get ready for the AJ rabbit hole.

When you said "When the people put this together" Imagine telling a 9 year old to perform THIS! No. When she put this together! This is her interpretation of Screaming J! No one would ever think to suggest this to a 9 year old! But after you see her win Norway's got talent at 8 performing French Quarter Jazz, Classic Jazz & progressive blues like she created it!

AJ don't play. We get the most stunning, amazing performance of a 9 yr old of this Jazz standard ever created. I believe it is going to go down in Jazz & Music history as the best ever for this age and in my opinion the best rendition of this song ever created Screamin Jay included. It will be revisited for Decades and will remain relevant for Generations to come. Anyone who discovers this performance for the first time today or a 100 years from today are going to be as amazed and astounded as everybody has been to this point. Think of the children who will be inspired by this one performance in the decades to come. This is an Iconic performance and will always be Iconic. Angelina has on her own from early on at 6 or 7 yrs old reintroduced what I believe will be a whole new Jazz Era and redefined by this young phenom and prodigy. That is astounding! And she is just 16 years old... That is unfathomable. She has already established her proficiency and incredible work ethic in this endeavor guided by an incredible family and professional support now surrounding her. We know Angelina will continue to amaze! We will be here to experience and cherish it for as long as we live.... and I am praying for many more years for myself to enjoy it till the end of my days... I hope to go out of this world listening to the most beautiful voice ever created for man just as Angelina came into it to fulfill her purpose, what she was put on earth to do, sing for the whole World... and Me! To me Angelina is always singing to me transporting me to that beautiful place she inhabits when she sings and to experience it with her. She has the ability to touch hearts and souls and change lives. She has the ability to change lives on a personal level and the power to change lives on a global scale. To me no one compares. You just watched a Masterpiece! Destined to go down in Music History as the best performance by a 9 yr old, Period! Past, present & dare I say Future! I'd like to see anyone, young or old who can do a cover of this & with the justice it deserves as Angelina has done on every cover she does. ♥👣👸🏻

[@musicluvr70]

Can you imagine being a musician and being told you will be working with a new artist doing their version of a 1956 song, and when you get to the studio all you see is this 9 year old girl. At least one or two had to be thinking "Oh this is going to be a long day". At the end of that day, the band members were affectionately referring to Angelina as "The Boss" because she knew exactly what she wanted and how she wanted it done. The Bass player gives a small smile/smirk at the 00:25 mark, which to me seems to be saying "You have no idea what you're about to hear". Love your Angelina reactions and I look forward to many more!

Please jump from this high to another with Angelina singing I’m still holding out for you a song written by Baby Fuzz. This was performed a year later than I put a spell on you. Welcome to this amazing artist.

[@alanoakley3242]

Good call regarding her age. By the time she recorded this, she had been invited by TV stations and charities in several continents to travel from her home in Norway to sing what was a mainly jazz repertoire. When she sang 'Fly Me to the Moon' on American TV in 2014, Quincy Jones, who arranged the seminal Frank Sinatra hit version, was impressed enough to track her progress, which had included her opening for Norah Jones in South Korea, and have her travel to London in 2018 to open with it at an 85th birthday concert in his honour. He described her at the time as the most talented young singer he had heard since Michael Jackson. She was 12. A year later, she accepted an invitation to appear on America's Got Talent: The Champions, which, when it was broadcast in January 2020, propelled an album she recorded at age 11 to climb to #1 on the iTunes Jazz Album Chart, briefly knocking jazz legend Miles Davis from top spot. According to her uncle, who manages her career, one of the stipulations for her agreeing to appear on AGT was that she should not be bound by any contractual obligations beyond the contest's duration. Perhaps as a result, she confounded the universally favourable opinion polls by finishing AGT outside the top 5, which many attribute to her team's intransigence, especially since the general public were excluded from deciding the final placings. Up until 2020, she and her family had rejected multiple lucrative offers, including one from Disney, to go professional, insisting on her finishing her formal education. In 2020, 14-year-old Angelina was signed by Republic Records on the proviso that they limit her exposure so she could continue to have a relatively normal school life, albeit in a new country. Last summer, she performed live for the first time since The Pandemic during a brief tour back in her native Norway. Now that she is on the verge of turning 17, Republic have promised an album later this year. But back to Angelina the child. You evidently haven't read about why Angelina performs barefoot. The story goes back to when she was in the Middle East and encountered a little homeless girl barely older than she was trying to make money by offering to weigh passers-by on an old set of bathroom scales. Angelina. who was 6 at the time, was curious enough to strike up a conversation with the girl, who turned out to be an orphan with siblings to feed. When Angelina stepped on the scales. the girl complimented Angelina on the green ankle boots she took off to do so. Angelina, noticing the girl's shoeless feet were dirty and scarred, promptly offered them to the girl who, after some back and forth (and presumably a nod of approval to Angelina' from her mother standing nearby), humbly accepted the gift. Next, the conversation turned to their hopes and dreams for the future. The girl expressed that she would have loved to become a doctor but doubted it would ever be possible under her current circumstances. Angelina's ambition was to "sing for the whole world" to enjoy. The girl promised to pray every day for Angelina, who encouraged the girl to never give up on her dream and there and then decided never to wear shoes while performing for the public until every child had shoes of their own. Clearly there was no doubt in her mind even at six that fame would afford her a platform for her activism. A year or so later, Angelina was on national TV winning Norway's Got Talent while singing barefoot and reportedly gave away most of her prize money to children's and environmental causes! She has remained true to her commitment ever since and the directors of her music videos know enough to feature her bare feet even though she has rarely referred explicitly to the statement she is making, electing instead to rely on the curiosity of observers and reactors such as yourself to help disseminate the message. At 9 years old, Angelina wrote 'Mellom to hjerter', a book based on her chance encounter with the shoeless girl with the English title: 'Between Two Hearts', making her the youngest published author in Norway's history. During a TV talk show, the host casually asked where the incident had taken place to which Angelina gave the frankly disarming reply for one so young: "It could have been anywhere." Even if she stopped right there and never sang another note, that list of accolades and achievements is more than many musicians achieve in decades.

[@alberttenfoot]

Thank you for discovering Angelina. She is well worth every microsecond you spend on her. I have watched and listened to her in awe since she released her first video on KZbin, and what has been evident to me from the start is that she sings with total conviction, despite the fact that she is far too young to have experienced the events suggested in the lyrics of the song she has chosen to sing. But it is not only that, for strange as it may seem is the even more remarkable fact that she con convey the appropriate emotions within those lyrics to her listener. Angelina was 9 years and 2 months old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, who wrote and performed the song in 1956 (50 years before Angelina was born). She based her arrangement on his original performance, although she discarded all the theatrics and allowed her voice and body language to tell the story. The song has been covered by many singers over the years, but to my knowledge, Angelina is the only one who has sung in the same style as the original. There are many things I found particularly worthy of note in this video. Some I recognised immediately and those I missed were brought to my attention by the more observant Angelina fans (her Angels) and I thank them for letting me know what I had missed. (a) Angelina finishing writing last minute changes she wanted and handing them to the Music Director, who smiled. (b) A brief glimpse of Mery Zamani, Angelina's maternal grandmother, a well known and respected Iranian Artist and poet who was also a child prodigy. She was the person who recognised Angelina's talent at an early age and exposed her to all the old time jazz singers. (c) The candle with an image of Screamin' Jay Hawkins on it. (d) The smile on the face of the Bass player. (e) How she rose on to her toes on the last occasion she sang "...because you're mine" (f) The fact she occasionally refers to her written notes on the music stand. Possibly to remind herself of the last minute changes she wanted. (g) Her unwavering passion throughout the performance. Evidenced by her facial expressions and the way she uses her hands and body to emphasise the direction of the song. (h) The way she takes a breath just before she starts the last phrase (I don't care.....) and that breath lasts the whole of that sustained note. A child of that age should not have the ability to hold a note for that length of time. (i) At the end, when she sings I Doooont Caaaaare, she employs TWO separate and distinct vibratos to the word care, a wide one to start the word and a tighter one to close the word (j) The instant transformation from "performance" mode to that of a pensive child, possibly wondering whether she could have done better. I comment on the "pensive" child because Angelina has an incredible work ethic and seeks to perform every song in a way she considers will bring out all the emotions within the lyrics and melody. Angelina has been referred to as the "Queen of Jazz", "The Barefoot Princess", "The girl with a thousand voices". All of them are true, but I prefer the nickname I gave her after listening to about six of her performances. For me, she is "The Chameleon of Song", for as a chameleon is able to change its colour to match its surroundings, so Angelina is able to change the "colour" of her voice to accurately match the needs of the song to reveal the emotions within the lyrics and melody. Even more remarkable is her innate ability to communicate those same emotions to her listeners.

Jordan attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the , where she received vocal training and piano lessons. In addition to singing and playing the piano, she plays violin, guitar and flute, and also paints. But other than the basics she did not have specific vocal training. She absorbed this all herself immersing herself in Jazz on U-Tube from the age of 3 yrs old. Her family recognized the uniqueness of her voice and abilities and did not want to mess with it. This is all Angelina. She has chosen everything she does and has had a part if not total control of the arrangements from this same age. Prodigy? Yes there is video of her at 18 months old sing a couple of lines of 'I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston into a toy mic. ♥👣👸🏻🎷

Very nice reaction. Yes, she is 9..... she is already very experienced working in a studio with adult musicians... this was her song choice and her arrangement: "the people who put this together" pretty much = Angelina herself ... you might have noticed her giving notes to the conductor - of course she is working with others who would have provided input, but this is very much HER creation.... she is and it seems always has been The Boss !

She is to put out her first full record this year. Her parents are keeping her relatively low key while a child .. she does festivals and specials but they want her to have a childhood. Her bare feet. Her grandmother is Iranian (and also a prodigy in art). When Angelina was I think 6 she was in Iran I believe for a visit and she met a girl perhaps a year older than she who was making money with some scales weighing people for money. She had no shoes. Angelina talked to her .. and gave the girl her shoes. She now sings publicly barefoot .. saying that she will no perform with shoes until all children have shoes to wear. (correction .. as Mr. Olson states below, she sings barefoot to remember the girl)

[@OleOlson121]

She performs barefoot to remember the girl she met Edward and other children like her. Never promised to go barefoot until all children have shoes. She has never said that or made that promise. Just want to correct some info which relayed repeatedly and is untrue. Love from a fellow fan.

[@frankphillips5660]

You are very perceptive Britt! Yes, 90% or more is all natural talent. By age 5 she was searching the net for anything jazz and she fell in love with Billie Holiday,Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Dinah Washington, Ella Fitzgerald and I have seen these videos where she has made those statements. She would listen for hours. Her vocal coaches at a very young age said they had done all they could and didn't want to teach her and possibly ruin what came naturally. Angelina is obviously a child prodigy who loves music, esp. jazz that her grandma Mery Zamani got her interest in playing it all the time, even while she was in the womb. You will see Angelina and Mery together in many videos. From what I gather Angelina has been spending hours every single day from pre-school til now honing her craft. Even at her concerts this past summer she promised to keep working hard and to get better and better. Here is the link to Angelina Jordan Fan Club Mosarz, grandma Mery's channel and it has dozens of rehearsals, interviews and behind the scenes peeks from 1 yr old to around 13 yrs old:kzbin.info/door/hM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPigvideos?app=desktop You will see how Mery has documented Angelina's life and it's fascinating to see the development of a future superstar!

You asked about her vocal training. She is self-taught to a large extend. However she did go to a music school and learned to play piano and had some vocal training. The extend to which is not fully clear. Her family was keen not to have her unique talent be directed. Her vocal training was possibly aimed at teaching her to not hurt her voice and perhaps at reaching certain specific goals.

Angelina says that she she sings, she goes away to where the music is. It's a happy and endless place. Belting an F5 with distortion just stole the show for me. This will remain as a stand-alone masterpiece. Arranging the music and lyrics drew from Screamin Jay Hawkins (1956), she gave us a 21st-century classic. Due to the extreme stress on her young voice, she never repeated this performance. We look forward to accompanying you on this journey.

[@TheBlaster54]

Britt, Angelina was six years old when she had her first studio session. Check out her cover of “I Who Have Nothing” to further understand how jaw dropping amazing her talent was and is. There is no question that Angelina is a musical genius. She had a highly developed intellect, intuition, instincts, and feel even at the age of six. * Angelina has been writing and recreating the arrangements of the cover songs she sings since she was seven and eight years old. * Angelina is the youngest Norwegian citizen to have written a book and have it published. She was nine years old when she wrote her book. * She speaks four languages. * She plays four instruments, piano, flute, violin and guitar. * She had already traveled all over the world and performed in front of kings & queens, dignitaries, benefit concerts and she even performed for two Nobel prize recipients, by the time she was nine years old.

Thanks for another great reaction to another incredible performance by Angelina (which she also arranged) - at age 9. You wondered out loud about how she might sound when she's older. A couple of suggestions: Bohemian Rhapsody at age 13 (on AGT) & Suspicious Minds (last year at age 16). Not only does she have amazing vocals in each, but she also completely reinterprets these well known songs to make them her own. (Btw - Angelina Jordan turns 17 tomorrow: 1/10/2023. :) Thank you.

Great reaction. Everyone feels the same way in the sense how is that voice coming from such a little girl. It's as if some of the great singers are reincarnated in her body. You are going to be blown away by many of her other remakes and she's done so many and now making some of her own. She makes the song her own and in many cases I think it's better than the original, and she sounds different in so many of the songs as if she's a magician who can manipulate her voice. A true and rare talent and I can't wait to see her develop more and where it takes her in the world of music.

[@ClaudioMarcucci7756]

Thanks for this wonderful reaction with this unreal Angelina's cover, this song is a important step to understand the uniqueness of Angelina's talent and her incredible passion and understanding for music. She is absolutely out of the ordinary, but she is also so tremendously charming that she captivates and amazes you every time, she is surely the only 9 year old girl who has the courage and the ability to take this song from Screaming' Jay and rearrange it according to her sensibility and musical vision. I think sincerely that this is perhaps the most beautiful version of this song made, in more than 50 years since it was written. 💛🧡❤

Why does Angelina sing barefoot? The answer may bring a tear to your eye. When she was 6 years old, she was in the Middle East with her mom and grandmother and they came across a young orphan girl with no shoes and scarred feet. Angelina gave the girl her own shoes and has forever performed barefoot as a reminder of all those less fortunate. At age 9 she wrote a book about this experience, Between two Hearts, becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. She also has helped raise millions for children's charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond.

She’s an angel. Thank you for this!

[@ronraskind]

@@brittreacts Thank you and I appreciate your response. To get to know Angelina better, There is an interview when she was 9 years old on Norwegian TV with subtitles discussing the release of her new book and the reason she sings barefoot. Have a tissue ready! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5SmfXePZaiGkJo Here is Angelina singing Unchained Melody at 9 years old on the same TV program.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXjNoouuhsd5naM Best would be to do both of these videos in one reaction because they are relatively short.

👍👍 Angelina vocal coach/teacher was KZbin and the nearest jazz/blues record store where she lived,,, listening and practicing off of all the greats you mentioned,,, other than that like her mother said in countless of times,, "Angelina never had or will ever have and vocal coach/teacher,, cuz we don't want to ruined the UNIQUENESS in her vocals,, 👣🌬🌎

[@edwardarmitage4980]

Recorded at 9yrs old....released when she was 10...you've gone down the "Angel" rabbit hole now & there's no turning back, you're already addicted, just like the rest of us. You're in for a REAL rollercoaster with all the 170-ish covers/originals done by the "Angel" Welcome aboard 😅😅 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@rickpallas2001]

I have been loving your reactions. Your comments are on point. Thank you.

[@brittreacts]

I really appreciate that!!

[@100mando1]

Me agrada las reacciones que tienes para la increíble cantante de los pies descalzos AJ Angelina Jordan. AJ es una excepcional intérprete y compositora, me encanta escucharle.

[@magnekolstad7457]

Spot on reaction 🙂👏❤ Angelina is one of a kind, I saw her twice this summer live and it was amazing. She will be on everyone's bucket list to see in a short while...😍

[@jandalgaard3251]

😂 i love your reaction. That how we all felt first time hearing her. And yes, this is her natural voice, becoming even better today at a age of 16 ( 17 tomorrow). The voice of this young women just gives me the chill's every time I listen to her. I have seen her live this summer, and that was even more mind boggling to understand when you have this young lady that could be my daughter standing 10 feet away from you, and this comes out of her. Besides that she is the most humble and caring person you will ever meet. She is a gift to this world.

[@BUDSBEAU]

Angelina always arranges her own performances when she is singing live.

[@Lorna8264]

Happy belated 17th birthday to the Angel.

[@davedawson7825]

Love ur reactions to Angie, she is so special. I watch reactions to her every day to share the virtual joy that people have upon witnessing this vocal marvel. Pls do more, she has a vast catalogue of covers on YT and lots of shorts on Insta and TikTok ❤

[@mariahstewart4985]

Watch her at 6 years old singing I who have nothing. She is amazing but every video you watch you will be blown away

[@SuperLiorr]

The one who put together everything you hear and organized the song in this way is Angelina herself, yes yes since she started singing she does things her way and sings the way she thinks this song should be passed on to people in order to move us again and again...🦶🦶 👑🗣🎙🎷

[@christophersmith2793]

Absolutely phenomenal performance from a musical genius, you’re spot on Angelina is 9 years old with this masterpiece, and she actually arranges this tribute herself, paying tribute to the original artist Screaming J Hawkins, the barefoot story is very interesting, while traveling in the Middle East Angelina had seen a poor girl weighing people for money, the poor girl had no shoes and scars on her feet,Angelina befriend the girl who was the same age as Angelina both 6 years old, Angelina gave the girl her own shoes, and to this day always performs barefoot to remember all the children less fortunate, Angelina has raised millions for environmental causes and children charities she is so humble and special, her unique silvery vibrato is amazing, and I attended Angelina’s live concerts this previous summer in her home country Norway 🇳🇴 her stage presence in absolutely wonderful her live vocals outstanding, cannot believe Angelina is 17 years old on 10 January, Happy Birthday to a musical genius, Angelina’s beautiful soulful pitch perfect voice touches your heart and soul, even her imperfections are outstanding, Angelina was introduced to Jazz by her grandmother who is an talented Iranian artist and is involved with production and can be seen in the studio with Angelina, Angelina signed with Republic Records aged 14 years old and and Rob Christie the award winning musical director of Republic Records plays piano in her recent videos , Angelina uncle is her manager, great reaction thanks 🙏

[@petrari2157]

Exceptional artist... And before few minutes before start this record she rewrited notes for band - yes, in 9 old she created own version of music and band listen...

[@PatStone3]

Loved your reaction to ANGELina’s song at age 9 I Put A Spell On You. I’m looking forward to many more to come. Thank you. You’ve got the “IT” factor.

[@howshafern420]

I believe she will always be the greatest singer I will ever hear in my lifetime. Shes empathetic of music and understands the story behind every song she has chosen to sing. along with her ability to write songs. Thank you for the Entertainment.

[@livingLge]

I like to imagine all the Jazz greats sitting around a campfire with AJ right there...they chat about music, styles, and techniques, and swap stories. Then, it's time for AJ to sing, and they collectively inhabit her body, and she comes down and unleashes the perfect version of a perfect song.

[@timdoyon1964]

Angelina is a prodigy, a musical genius, and quite possibly the greatest vocalist of all time. I listen to her everyday, and have for years. She once called Simon Cowell a legend, but now she’s a legend as well. She is absolutely sensational. I really enjoyed your reaction, and if you don’t mind, I also have to say that you are a very beautiful lady. I mean that as a compliment, so I hope you don’t take offense.

[@konradv7]

Happy Birthday Angelina!

[@lisayoung4987]

Angelina composed this for her age and composed the music also. She is Paying Homage to Screaming Jay Hawkins From 1956 time zone. Bravo he would be so Impressed❤

[@rolandrainwater9930]

Love her Queens Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT

[@rmaury147]

Love your reactions to AJ, can't wait to see your reactions at age 6,7,10,12,15 and 16, she is turning 17 this month

[@jimdonaldson3277]

You are a treat. Luv ya. I suspect that this ain't her first rodeo (her skills were honed long before). When suggested, in an interview, that her school of music had taught her to sing, she quickly corrected them by saying that she taught herself to sing.

[@mauriceharris1527]

The crazy thing about this video which you probably already know is that her being this young, she arranged this song. The piece of paper the band is looking at is her arrangement. When she hands it to the band you can see one of the guys smiling. When you're gifted you are gifted.❤❤🎶🎶😎🌈✨️

[@mldkenny]

A history making performance! Lovely reaction as well.

[@erikcouvret]

It's easy to see the many female voices in her (many more than Billie Holiday), but she's got some males on her sleeve too. Of course she has Elvis in her, voice but just now I recognized a great deal of Joe Cocker in her! That includes his gestures! :-) Great reaction by the way!

[@72humphrey]

jajjaa...esa carita que pones a escuchar tal prodigio no tiene precio!!!... me encantas!!

[@Bjarmarsson]

You Hit all the Nails in one go ☺️👍 Yes it is scary to think about where she'll be at in 10 years or so, when she already today is considered the most versatile Soul Singer on the planet today or at any time in history..? At least I can't imagine any of those 90+ Vocal Artists she covers do anything close what she can do vocally, but She can do everything they do .. Thanks for beautifully insightful and honest Response and comments 🙏 ~ OneLove 🕊

[@9Ballr]

Billie Holiday is actually one of Angelina's musical/vocal idols. She has said something to the effect that had there been no Billie Holiday there would be no Angelina Jordan. If you have headphones I would definitely recommend wearing them when listening to Angelina to experience the full effect of her amazing vocals. She will turn 17 tomorrow. For recent performances here are three recommendations: Suspicious Minds: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIXFfJuhmMqFZpI Mount Everest: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoq5qaGPZZt1jdk Love is a Game (short Tik Tok version): kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6uqdq1vrsSnd6s

[@clay2457]

Great reaction, very insightful! We’ve all worn that look when discovering Angelina, she’s amazing!!

[@hu._-]

Seasoned vet, yep ... singing from 18 months, in studio age 6, won Norway's Got Talent age 8 (started competition age 7), her she is age 9 (good eye) singing her arrangement of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' shock rock hit song. But she changes the (alcohol induced) theatrics of Jay's medicine man imitation into the raw emotions of a scorned women. She maintains the shock but brings the song back into Jay's original intent of this being a love song. Not one of the greats that has sung this before managed to do all that with this song. She is on a par with Mozart and Picasso in her artistic interpretation and raw talent.
