Gen X couple shares HONEST REACTION to Angelina Jordan If I were a boy

[@kjellneset919]

Angelina Jordan swallow a song and performs it the way she would do the song. She has the ability to belt out, but she is not about showing of what she can. She almost daily give us Angels snippets of her singing development. She gives me goosebumps regularly the way she sings. She may not have the experience in life in the songs she sings, but her way of singing soul and emotions is stronger for me, because she transfer it directly to me. I heard her live and it is more amazing then what you hear on youtube. For vocal gymnastic we have other artists to listen to. I love Angelina Jordan giving us ear-candy directly to me (we all Angels feel it like that). For me Beyonce song was ordinary, but Angelina version i do not get tired of. She is one of a kind. May i ask your top 3 versions of "I put a spell on you"? I will listen them all to try to understand what i have missed. I believe that giving the emotions in a song is not based on life-experience. Loved this reaction and love from Norwegian subscriber who voted for her win in NGT 2014 after i listened to "Gloomy Sunday". I was sold already...

[@leonardbellinger5223]

Hope you will experience more of this girl's life her videos are from the age of 6 until the present she plans everything thoroughly her art is locked in this also she has a heart of gold and is a real humanitarian.

[@charlesallison146]

The main thing to remember is Angelina Can Do No wrong. !!!!

[@ianveal4690]

You are missing so much in Angelina's work. It's like you already know everything you need to know. Angelina doesn't need to show off her talent. Her talent shines through and sometimes it is when she is restrained that you see her skill.

[@rongotwalt4487]

Thank you both for a wonderful and heartfelt reaction. This is where Angelina shines the most. Either just a piano or a guitar or a violin or a cello and her beautiful vocals. That I think. let's Angelina really emote the emotions to the lyrics that you really want to hear and makes you understand what she's actually feeling. These stripped down versions are so wonderful and especially in a cathedral like that. It resonates right through to your soul. Guys. Thank you for continuing your journey. Keep on posting. There are many, many angels who are starting to join the bandwagon on your wonderful KZbin channel. Honesty is always the best policy. Sometimes you'll get some naysayers and people who don't agree with you, but that's all right. I think you'll understand as you listen to more and more Angelina, especially at her younger age. How really wonderful she has become and is now a young gorgeous singer songwriter that I think will globally make her mark on the world. Keep posting. Sending much thanks from Canada! 👍🇨🇦❤️

[@katiebarton6142]

Her elegance and grace really show in this acoustic video of her range of her talent that she has!! But as her fans criticizing someone first not letting them venture into her,,, and exploring what she is about before you start stabbing into people,,, we did say that she had potential we did not say that she had the belt out everything that she had to just release what she had inside her and we heard that in Bohemian Rhapsody of America's got talent in this one,,, which she is not belting she is doing a rhythmic move that we'd love so for that,,, like I said before the troll must go on and if there is any other videos you think we should listen to let us know but as you being derogative fans that can only criticize other people's opinions which we are all allowed to have our own opinions in the United States of America!!!! So therefore from the troll again have a good night!!!!!😂

[@rw716]

On the piano is the co-writer of the song, Toby Gad. The other co-writer of the song, BC Jean, was the first to sing the song as well as the person the song came from. The man that she was in love with had just broken up with her. Per Toby, he played it for Beyonce one day and she really wanted to sing and use this song, and the rest you say is history. Who is Toby Gad? Gad is a 3 time Grammy winner German music producer and songwriter based in Los Angeles. He is known for co-writing songs including John Legend's biggest hit, "All of Me", the fifth-highest certified single in RIAA history, and for co-writing and producing "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie, "If I Were a Boy" by Beyoncé and "Skyscraper" by Demi Lovato.

[@boscobeans]

Toby Gad (the pianist) was putting together an album (Piano Diaries) of songs he wrote and sought out performers who he thought could reinterpret them best and he chose Angelina for this one. They are working together now to create several new songs, one is BAD VALENTINE. And as far as opinions go, you know the old saying "everyone has one". LOL. Keep it honest, as you should.

[@dielor3351]

Quincy Jones says about Angelina, when she was 12, that she was the greatest childsinger since Michel Jackson and invite her to open his birthdayevent in the O2 Arena in London. And he knows Mickel Jakson well because he was the producer of Thriller.

[@markkleckner3060]

She sings what she believes the song needs, she isn't one that belts. But like I said everyone has different tastes. Check out James Thiel's channel. He has the best videos from her February Concerts she had this year. She sang 38 songs in one evening with a half hour break, with a total of 20 different songs from the 2 concerts. 1st Vegas Concert at age 18, God Bless!

[@markkleckner3060]

@@CarlD70 It's their taste, maybe there are some they will like, and some not and that's okay. I'm sure Angelina wouldn't hold it against them. Remember she is sharing her Love, God Bless!

Thank you for beginning to understand the world of Angelina.

[@HusemR]

The song was written by BC Jean and Toby Gad and sung by BC Jean. Beyoncé later covered it and the song became world famous. Angelina Jordan now upgraded it. Angelina Jordan ASTAR (the name says it all), this young norwegian genius (now 18 y old) is imo the best singer on the planet! I am 71 y old and have never heard a singer like her in my whole life. Every time she brings tears in my eyes cause her singing is so beautiful. Her voice touches my heart and cleanses my soul since allmost 9 years.

[@robertsilva631]

With reference to your comments on the first song (Love Don't Let Me Go) that you reacted to that resulted in a lot of negative comments - she wrote that song and vocal arrangement and collaborated on the instrumental mix that was released. I think you still don't fully understand how Angelina approaches music - especially when it is her own original work - and how much she is in control of what ends up getting released with her name.

[@DrinkingGourdUSA]

Can't someone like or dislike something without knowing the full backstory? Do I have to do research on every actor before watching their movie? Am I allowed to not like the movie even after knowing about the actor?

[@colinhuggins268]

[@robertsilva631]

@@DrinkingGourdUSA Yes you can unless you are making assumptions about who is controlling the result - For example you have made statements alluding that Angelina does not make a lot of her own decisions regarding the final result of what you are hearing. For example, in the video you reacted to when she was 9 years old - you assumed that she didn't choose the song and that she didn't have control of the final result - but that was not the case.

Angelina's performances have no potential, but everyone is a masterpiece. You are the only reactors that I watch that see some potential in some of her songs when professional music people mention that at one of 11 yo she is on a level that voice couches cannot add anything more to improve her. I feel that your comments about her are more a case of not like the particular way she performs a song because you want something els of the song.

Ok, so glad you both liked it. I think the disconnect is that you all like the big belts best. While those are certainly impressive, many of us appreciate AJ's judicious use of her belting and upper-range. She has so many impressive vocal techniques that make her talent special at any age: vibrato, dynamics, vocal fry, range, breath control, ability to emote...all of these, not her big belts, make her special. But yeah, her belts are pretty frikken awesome! Thanks for staying with it and enduring the grumpy 😇. Lol

This is a live concert were Angelina sang "If I were a boy" and then this song. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4XNq5uGiLuaq8U She's 18 years old now.
