FIRST TIME REACTING TO | Angelina Jordan "When We Were Young" - (Adele Cover)

[@brucecumming8803]

Did you notice, near the start of the song, Angelina asks her mum "where is Juliette" and her mother answers "with Michael". Angelina is obviously a very good big sister.

[@primordialsimilarity6262]

Angelina's 13 yr old version of this song is a Masterpiece 😊

[@ottokirk2325]

Truth, she used her lows and then used her angelic soaring highs. You know, takes you somewhere else.

[@ronraskind]

Angelina's voice has changed drastically in the four years since she did it when she was 14. It has become deeper and husker so that her range has shifted a bit. I think she knows the song very well from the past but with her newer voice there are choices she needs to make, so that she can learn to use the nuances of her current voice to maximize the effect for the song.

[@ottokirk2325]

@@ronraskind Agreed. Like with Diana Ankodinova, there is a younger age where these contra-alto types have a stronger resonance in the ranges of typical adult women. Diana worked hard on her upper range recovery, but it isn't as flexible/dynamic in certain tonalities. In regards to When We Were Young, hopefully Angie maintains her record of impeccable taste. Extra ordinary R&B or Queen of Soul could get too Christina Agulara, i.e. runs, runs and more runs. I exaggerate of course.

[@kerrythomas6220]

You obviously haven’t seen the recent version she did at a private event. I believe I saw it on Granma Mery’s new channel.

[@RichardBourne]

Britt, I'll just have to quote you or steal that statement "non performative performance", that is so cool. This humans life and growth has been more highly documented than any other artist that I know of. She lives with the camera as naturally as she does with absorbing music that surrounds her every waking moments. What a gift to all of us. Rb

[@randygumaer282]

Yes, this must be part of her process, she's trying things out and dialing in her usual, unique spin on a song, what a privilege to see Angelina at work.

[@ysteindrge8394]

She makes Adeles songs even better❤ Love this❤

[@Joseph-i1t]

Angelina is a work in constant motion/progress.

[@zeuso.1947]

Angelina is the ultimate expert professional. I predict she will master the entire music industry. Top tier singer and musician of multiple instruments, sound engineer, etcetera. . . .

[@ottokirk2325]

From observation, she doesn't do the perfectionist thing for playing instruments. She's a very casual strummer at guitar, which is fine. She does work on piano it seems. All of it aids her in knowing what she wants from an ensemble or composing for here original material.

[@jefftofte9419]

Once again, we must thank grandma Mery for filming these gems of informal practice sessions/rehearsals. Glad to see you back Britt. If you have not already done so, check out her new song "Our Time" it's wonderful!

[@sulatlalaki]

Isn't it funny how we "know" them all? You said 'Grandma Mery ' and we all know to whom you are referring. 😊

[@jefftofte9419]

Absolutely! After all, I think most of us have mentally and emotionally "adopted" Angelina's whole family@@sulatlalaki 🙂

[@MICHAELASHER.]

Did you hear her break off, and ask, where's Juliet ( her sister) at? Talk about fly on the wall...she is often showing her ruff work. I never see any other artist do that! Love that you are back. You will one day have a national TV talk show.. you're too good not to. When you do, your first guest will be Angelina Jordan Astar.

[@poolhallshark]

Great to have you back, Britt. As you're into fashion and stuff, keep an eye out for Bal Des Debutantes on Nov 25th, as Angelina is attending. Dressed by Dolce Gabbana and her escort is the grandson of the founder of Indonesia. A few years back Forbes ranked the venue as one of the 10 most influential in the world. This was very much a practice, maybe just trying out the new arrangement with the violin. I think we can hear her say AMAZING before she turns toward the violinist and lets go of a smile. A very beautiful arrangement 🙂 Also, just after she started, you can hear her ask her mother where Juliette is. Her mother tells her that she is with Michael, and then she continues. She is so incredibly loving and caring. In her original "What Is Life" she calls Juliette the love of her life. As far as your statement that we always get to hear the end result with her, I don't agree. We have roughly 100 performances with her and Egil or Ivan on guitar, and all of those were 1-takes without any preparation. As per interviews with both guitarists 🙂 Also a lot of rehearsals with her and her band. I hope you and the baby are doing just fine, and that you enjoy the time, though I guess it must be very tiring as well. Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

[@lannieharris7774]

Hy britt I love your reactions and I love how you love Angelina so from an old man 74 years old I appreciate your comments

[@edwardmoran110]

Watching our angel grow! There is no doubt Angelina works hard at her craft!

[@zeuso.1947]

A rare privilege to watch Angelina work things out and see how the sausage is made.

[@RoguishlyHandsome]

She did that live at 13. It was magical, a little bit different, and felt really easy for her. Look for "Angelina Jordan (13) - When We Were Young - Prøysenhuset, Rudshøgda, Norway"

[@antoniomaurogiovanni1276]

La tua reazione mi ha colpito.Angelina è veramente una fuoriclasse,canta come se avesse il cuore in mano.E poi i colori di gli armonici, l'intonazione,cosa si vuole di più da una cantante?

[@charlespeterson7502]

Glad to see you back with Angelina.

[@quinjesuis9187]

Absolutely beyond beautifully gorgeous ❤️‍🔥

[@Didier71640]

oh, i love her outfit too ! Yes she is very relax, very cool !!

[@Joseph-i1t]

Where she is, they have come to realize that Angelina has to breathe. So I think there’s a Studio specially for her to go and breathe/sing. That’s why we have viewed her in the parking garage singing so much

[@ottokirk2325]

She did this live in Norway at 13yo and it was effortless perfection. Like a refined Adele. Here she is stylizing it with her unique bag of tools, but it also sounds like it can easily go into vocal gymnastics. After covering Mercy, she has found her 'early adult years' signature style. It also seems that she is bringing out the 'Queen of Soul' for covers. Fingers crossed.

[@lenovo-x7j]

Angelina is just Brilliant, anything she tries seems to be effort,IAN in England ❤❤❤

[@patriciasepulveda1264]

yes .. she is in a rehearsal .. it was clear from the start .. and exciting, too ... great to get to see this ...

[@marvinboswell3820]

Always enjoy watching Angelina behind the scenes and watch her develop a song. what you hear now and what she polishes and brings to the stage sounds very different

[@giuseppeurna1986]

Ciao Britt che enorme piacere sentirti tutto bene. E sempre un piacere sentirti commentare Angelina Jordan. Di nuovo un grandissimo saluto e mi fa un enorme piacere vederti e sentirti.

[@williamdunphe-bh2pu]

She is awesome she will be the greatest artist in less than the next two years I'm glad you have been following her wild bill 🙂 angel 😇 since 2016. And she will outshine Adele in time.

So happy to see you back with AJ. Hope all is well with you!

[@edwardsullivan5481]

She has a voice & techniques like no other.

[@marvinboswell6889]

She 17 and her voice is still changing ,it is much deeper and richer than when she was young, there are about 5 clips of her working on Love On The Brain, each clip is different, but when she brought it to the stage it was unbelievably good, I think this is what we are watching here , she's seeing how she wants to present this with her now voice

[@OleOlson121]

Welcome back dear Britt. I hope you and your little one are well. Boy or Girl? Enjoy it while you can. They grow fast. Angelina in her element and working out her arrangement. So natural, so relaxed. Love seeing her behind the scenes. Great reaction. 🔥🔥🔥♥👣

Angelina never disappoints another gem from our musical genius, Angelina dropped a new song on the 27th of October the song is called ( OUR TIME ) check it out it is so outstanding, great reaction thanks 🙏

[@kathysutton-zy8ww]

Angelina in Boss mode, telling people what to do, and wearing shoes because it’s a rehearsal, not a performance. Two things we don’t normally see. Angelina has literally lived her entire life in front of Grandma Mery’s camera, with two results: One, we get to see moments in her life that fans of most artists never get to see. And two, she’s so comfortable being on camera and being watched because it’s already a way of life for her. Win for her; win for us. Thanks Grandma Mery!

[@sebastiansolimando1464]

Excellent reaction girl, as always, good video 😊✌️🇺🇾❤ greetings

[@douglaspensack3499]

Angelina will be "glammed up" this weekend. She is in Paris this weekend, attending Le Bal des Debutantes, dressed by Dolce & Gabbana.

[@cm0355]

Thanks for the reaction to our angel Angelina..she’s simply the best..👍👏

[@robertsilva631]

Angelina has performed this song on several occasions.

[@lindathompson3982]

yes.

[@josephstimpfl4594]

Absolutely right. Rehearsal and constantly thinking about a song is totally what Angelina does. There are several times you see her concentrating hard developing her final take. In fact l have seen a lot of them. My Funny Valentine. Fly me to the moon. Always working on her craft. 24/7. In a garage in the middle of the night. Walking down the street. Literally anywhere and everywhere.

Angelina Jordan 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@vtbarber843]

❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉Aj🎉😊love you

[@patricklester23]

Relisten to this and concentrate on how amazing the connection between her voice and instrumentation is. She hears the accompaniment so differently than most singers today. When she bends the lyrics, she typically does it in perfect harmony with the instruments. I imagine this is one reason so many of her songs have such spare instrumentation. I actually wonder if when she has done performances with bands or orchestras she keys off of one or two instruments. Fantastic reaction, Britt!

[@aryachow]

Angelina has been the "boss" in the studio since she was 7 if not younger. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@FlameCold258]

Next please from Angelina Jordan.. Live performance from "the nobel peace prize 2023" Amazing! 👍👍😊😊

[@ClandOp]

Britt, so great to have you back! You look fantastic. Hope the baby is not keeping you up all night. Thanks for tackling AJ so quickly after your return! Agree that AJ is working through how to handle this rendition, BUT AJ covered "When We Were Young" here in a classic performance (IMO one of her best, at 13) -- with more reverb, as she requested here!

[@localnetsolutions]

Glad to see you back, I believe this is her recently built studio by Republic Records just for her.

[@iankings6405]

I think you are right Britt, it’s easy to forget at 13 she’s still a child, and yet she’s right up there challenging Adele.

Angelina is always in my heart, and I feel better because of it. I loved your review.

[@DGrain-p6j]

I really enjoyed and learned from your reaction. Angelina is my favorite jazz pop singer. That said it was a rehearsal and she was distracted-where’s Juliet?-the violinist-as you said the process-! I want to find the finished version now. Thank you.

[@stillracer2514]

Angelina sang this song when she was younger and there is great audio.

[@Harald4340]

U 're back. That is wonderful. Yes it is also nice to see and listen to Angelina in these settings.

[@samdoe5087]

You can say that this is a standard Angelina performance if you have heard enough of her. She takes a well known beautiful song and uses her incredible vocal abilities along with her musical instincts to make something that is all hers. It is like she is laying musical bricks in designs that no one has ever done before but we can still recognize the structure. Each tiny brick has a purpose and contributes to the whole.

[@JT-KSOL79]

@BrettReacts HAPPY THANKSGIVING BRETT HUGS AND KISSES GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY LOVE ALWAYS

[@AngelaHandley-m3v]

Britt I really enjoy you! I’ve watched you a few times reacting to Angelina, she’s definitely special and so are you, I just see you had a baby, lol you should introduce your child to Angelina too, she has sweet songs any baby would love to hear, Moon river is comforting

[@paulwagner9303]

You're absolutely right, she doesn't look or act like a teenager, especially when it comes to her music. Someone who celebrates her 10-year stage anniversary tomorrow (November 24th) 🎉 could definitely be described as a veteran (which also explains why she not really notices the camera, at least during rehearsals). As for song selection - Angelina has always been fearless and remains so to this day when it comes to taking the most famous and challenging songs to give us a new interpretation. There aren't many singers who let us watch their arrangement develop - for a long time I had the impression that RR wasn't happy about it because we rarely saw something like that. But it seems like it was a misunderstanding or they've changed their mind, because lately you've been seeing more, not just tiktok shorts but also some studio stuff.

[@gailhubbard7102]

Loved your reaction! You were spot on. I loved watching Angelina feeling her way through this song! I love anything Angelina anyhow. BTW, I love love your hair! Such fine little braids!😊

[@robertsanders7061]

I have been following her since she was 7 years old singing Billy Holiday

[@FlameCold258]

NEWS!!!!!! NOTE!!!!!! She sang a fantastic version of "Unchained Melody" at the Nobel Prize 2023... 😊😊😊😊😊😊must listen!

[@clones365]

There is a part at the beginning that tells you a little about Angelina. While singing the song, at the 3:14 mark, she asks "where's Juliette" (her sis). I believe mom says "with Michael" (uncle), then she continues to sing.

[@TheBlaster54]

Britt, If you listen to her thirteen year old out door performance of this song you will certainly be impressed. IMO, it might be a case where the evolution of Angelina’s vocal abilities and the additional options she has, compared to her being thirteen years old, is causing her some angst in deciding on what direction she wants her vocal arrangement and accompanying instrumentation to sound like.

[@rogerwolstenholme2710]

When you see the finished song she quite often has little secret smiles.... I think its because sections that took some sorting out in rehearsals have worked out ok, I love that ...she is so fascinating, I always watch her face you can see her working the song.

[@martinstenitzer8782]

Hey britt, i like your reaction as always ❤ angelina is working so much and yes its so nice to see how she is doing that in the rehearsals. Angelina is magical 👑♥️🌹💫

Angelina Sings some Songs several times but never heard her sing the Songs the same way twice, this One You can find in some of her concerts when she was 12 , Full version and absolutely beautiful and in My opinion better than Adele's 😄

[@brendo75]

She asked Mom where's Juliet, Mom replied (with) Michael. Protective Sister ❤

[@GrannysWanderingSpirit]

I'm so happy to see you, Britt! You look like a woman who sleeps, and I suspect you're not doing much of that. Congratulations on the birth of your child. Some of my favorites are rehearsal videos, or any video where she's just "working things out". In an interview at 12, Angelina said, "I feel 12 when I look at my passport." So mature and so professional! Angelina often doesn't sing with as much power in a rehearsal like this. All very relaxed.

[@runejenssen5110]

hi britt,good to see you back on track with Angelina,,,well,,,we fans love it,,,see your great react of her....and this cover,,,is amazing,with her great voice,a liveperformance outdoor,not easy to do,but Angelina always have a great,strong voice,like Adele

She is such a real and down to earth superstar...what caught my ear was, she stopped to ask Mom Sara where Juliette was...Mom says, with Mike...always looking out for her little Sis. Amazing song and an Amazing young women. Wait till these folks in Paris meet one of the most beautiful and talented young women on the planet this weekend at the Debutante Ball...they are in for a treat for sure. Thanks Britt. BTW, the 13 year old version she posted on TikTok was sung with ease....she is just rehearsing,

[@lexwoodwright]

Nice to see you back. Diana has new stuff that you've missed out there. Worth a look!😀

[@intuitiveempath8988]

This is crazy, I’m telling you her vocals feel like it’s time travelling right her.. what do I mean by that ?.. it’s like the soul/ styling in her vocals started sounding older as she it the, Old and Restless part.. literally dragging more emotion out of the words, the violin rifts is adding to this effect as well.. if you listen back to her older live stages performances, she was not squeezing/ stressing that particular part out like that before.. this has come with her age witch is crazy because, she is still very young.. like your saying, she’s like the youngest veteran I’ve ever seen. Still way beyond her years.. Very young but she has vocal Emotional Intelligence and intuition. This is what separates her. And This is only a rehearsal.

[@leechap3]

She did a beautiful straight cover of this at an outdoor concert at 13 but here she is "styling" it as you said, and it sounds delicious!

She is always trying to improve from her previous versions ,the mark of a true natural creative artist.

[@robertsilva631]

They dropped the violin part for the final performance. In fact, the "process" you are referring to is Angelina most likely (my guess) trying to decide whether to keep the violin part - it is not that she is not sure of the song as she has sung it several times at events.
