Her Inner Diana??? [Wicked Game - Chris Isaak Cover - Angelina Jordan Reaction]

[@keithserafy]

Angelina recorded this impromptu performance at 12 yo, long before Diana Ankudinova did her version. Grandma Mery originally filmed this, but the video was a slide show of AJ baby pictures that was very distracting to the music because the photos were so cute. Finally a fan, Sune Amtoft, made this video that complimented the music rather than distracting from it. It's one of her many Masterpieces where she just sat at her keyboard & started playing & singing on the fly. It's astonishing how she does this.

[@keldknudsen8713]

You are right. Diana did the song in 2019.

[@paulwagner9303]

I don't think Aaron meant the "cover thing" - he just said that the style/tone reminded him of Diana, not who sang it first.

[@Nevelepride]

A masterpiece by her! She never stops to amaze us!👌🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@pattijanssen8404]

Can't tell you how many times I've listened to this song by Angelina. The sad honest 9:52 cry, the whimper, the register flip so tender and delicate, breathy glisando that follows a vibrato that quivers so delicately with restained pain . This always blows my mind.. She paints with voice.

[@BigAngieFan808]

Ho hum, just another masterpiece by Angelina Jordan! This is one of her "I think I'll just sit down here and do a masterpiece in one take" songs. Far, far better than the original.

[@rickrack4812]

Best most emotional performance of this song ever

Angelina is a master of Less Is More. She identifies the essence of a song. Strips everything else away.

[@Barry-k4b]

It sounds like it belongs on a film soundtrack, It's so beautiful and haunting at the same time.

[@MichaelAmis-te2md]

Just sitting at the piano and making another masterpiece at 12 years of age and kills it! 🇳🇴🇺🇸💯 She did this way before Diana! Diana has excellent vocals too!

[@A-AronReacts]

I don't think that is true..Diana has very early performances but my point was not one of influence nor comparison..only that her tone at points of this song reminds me of Diana

[@johnvasi]

Aside from the beautiful emotion we get from Angelina here, we also see again how a very young AJ feels so comfortable going her own way on a very well-known song. The musicality she’s had since she was a child guides her-and we hear the lyrics in a different way. Beautifully done. Her musical and vocal patience at 12 years old is unique. Another classic song that I liked before, but now I want to hear it the way Angelina delivers it.

[@jim-rohe]

When this first came out, I listened to another reactor who said he was a huge Chris Isaak fan and didn't know how a 12-year-old girl could even attempt to cover this song. Then he listened to it and proclaimed it an absolute Masterpiece while standing and bowing down to her. All I can say is I agree with him. Peace and love.

[@lesgray8709]

Angelina posted this on Instagram - saying something like - having fun with wicked games in my music corner. This is quite early in her time in LA, no art work on the walls yet - just a casual experiment with a new sound. Mery made a KZbin video with still pictures - this fan made version is so well done, it emphasises the emotional elements in the song. As you say, it's not fair for all the other singers, Angelina is just so so good! Melancholy expressed so deeply - it just makes me cry...

[@billmichealoff9549]

She simply feels what to do. Easily the most naturally gifted talent I have ever encountered!

Goosebumps and tears....because it is so beautiful.

[@alanbeaumont6997]

Just to clarify, the wailing and gnashing of teeth echoing around the globe when anyone compares Angelina to another artist (not that I'm saying you're doing that here !) is not a sign of anything negative about any other artist but a sign of the strength of feeling for Angelina.😊 This is a fantastic display of (some of) Angelinas talent!

[@randegelo3506]

Hi Aaron. I liked the song when Chris Issac sang it, but Angelina elevated it to a whole new level. And the person who made the video did a beautiful job. I've seen it before, but your reaction added a lot. Thanks for posting it.

I have always thought this version done by Sune was so well done...the contrast of the visuals with the obsessive thrust of the lyrics...and he helped the sound quality as well, as the Mosarz sounded thin to me. After many listens, still Angelina wows every time..

This is clearly one of my favorite covers by Angelina. I absolutely loved this song by Chris Isaac when I first heard it. And once again, Angelina one-ups the original artist by honing her musical skills beyond what seems humanly possible. The “flip” of the register was brilliantly executed by Chris Isaac. And then along comes 12 year old Angelina Jordan to show how it really should be done. Great reaction and analysis Aaron. I totally agree - the beauty of this song was enhanced immeasurably by the excellent “cinematography.” 🎶 🫶🫶💛🫶🫶 👣

I think this version of AJ (Aug 20, 2019) is prior to Diana's version from Dec, 2019, her 2nd performance in the Super season and is very similar to AJ's version in terms of TPM.

To be clear, I was not for one second saying she was influenced by Diana just that that is what I was hearing

Please check "lovin you" from Angelina. It's also another colour from her. 😮

[@ericzeichert511]

The best example of Angelina's lower register is her cover of Elvis's version of How Great Thou Art. You'll know precisely why I say Elvis once you hear it. I think it was performed for a Norwegian Christmas special, and the video background is a little weird compared to this one. She also does a low register with frybrato in the "jazzy" verion of her lastest composition Bad Valentine, with the master Toby Gad. There are at least 4 unique versions of Bad Valentine.

[@A-AronReacts]

Thanks. I reacted to How Great Thou Art already

[@rickrack4812]

I think angelina did this tone and approach before diana ankudinova was a thing.

[@A-AronReacts]

I don't think that is true but I wasn't implying one was inspired or influenced by the other...just that her sound at certain points of this song reminds me of Diana

[@kevingood4644]

Think it was Mozart who commented that the music is not in the notes but in the silences between..Angelina shows how clearly understands this..masterpiece..thx Aaron. Have you heard her version of “How Great Thou Art”? If not, you’ll love the register she uses! Aged 13 I think. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jX2kdqxnga57qMUsi=oWf1M6bjyfOz8nN8

Yeap Angelina does Diana at 12 years old too, no problem. Funny to say this as an example, the Olympics, all sport is played by all different athletes, each their own sport. Angelina Jordan is the Olympics, an athlete that plays all sports.

[@jeffthebeeguy]

What can you say? Someone who can generate so much power but some of her best is when she floats the notes like a butterfly in flight and sings like a song bird. Whom of you see a child in her eyes in the photographs that were used---I certainly do not.

[@bik7083]

Diana Ankudinova must have heard Angelinas version and that’s why you think they sound alike. Angelina’s version as older than Diana’s so…..

[@pjg58x]

True but only by a few months. It’s possible Diana heard Angelina’s version but unless she was a follower of her she may not have come across it

Why doesn't Angelina ever mention her father?! Or maybe she took her voice from his genes and thanks to that she's making a career today?! On the other hand, her mother poses as some teenager and also doesn't mention anything about her husband, i.e. Angelina's father. To me it's strange... They say that Angelina has a good heart, but somehow she doesn't say anything about her father! It's sad... It's also sad to me that Angelina no longer mentions that girl she once met and now performs barefoot. Has Angelina tried to find that girl? Why doesn't anyone ask her these questions about her father and that girl from Asia!?

[@ronjones1077]

She wrote and performed an entire song for that young girl. Princess Of Ruin sang in February 2024 in Las Vegas. Some family matters are just that and don’t need to be broadcast. At her Sept 20th concert again this year she had written and then performed a new song called Thank You for her Dad

[@tomwhite4736]

​@@ronjones1077Copy and paste , troll comment on numerous Angelina reactions . Ignore.

[@billeaton9562]

Hmm you sound a bit like a hater but the girl was from the middle east and they met 12 years ago in a random street encounter. You make an assumption that it would be possible for them to find each other when in reality it is not. They did not exchange addresses she didn't have a real home, she didn't have a phone so your assumptions are a bit off. Also the best way Angelina could recognize her was to make a stand on poverty with her dare foot protest. and as RonJones mentions she wrote and performed a song about the girl recently. I believe she feels betrayed by her father but really what business is that of yours. Her mother is divorced and is allowed to act however she want's. As an Angel you would be up with the gossip re dad and mum, as much as anyone can be so I reiterate you sound like a troll.
