Holy Smokes! Angelina Jordan - If I Were A Boy (Piano Diaries by Toby gad) - REACTION!

[@griegs2001]

Your face expression when listening to this tells more than thousand words.

[@DontHateOnMyBreed1975]

I agree 💯 Watching "boys" (no disrespect saying boys) react to this video has me balling. Their faces/eyes say it all. Blessings, fellow angels 😇 ❤ Thank you, Toby, for choosing our beautiful Barefoot Goddess, Angel-ina! ❤❤❤

[@mariaboyd5581]

why I watched him twice - his face says it all - just beautiful how she takes us there ❤❤❤❤

[@DontHateOnMyBreed1975]

@mariaboyd5581 great comment ❤️

[@penelopemarines5154]

You’re so adorable Zack! I love that you now refer to Angelina as our “Barefoot Princess.” Also, slight correction, The Verve sang Bittersweet Symphony and The Verve Pipe sang The Freshman, both bands are a fave of mine too. And your Journey reference cracked me up! Love all your reactions. ❤

[@patrickchauharjasingh7164]

As you implied, there are no words. I am usually fairly eloquent (I love the English language), but all I could manage to come up with is "OMG!" (repeated ad infinitum).

[@ScionDraak]

I repeat myself, I love your appreciation to Angelina! You are a full blown Angel now for sure 👍❤️ She's getting better and better. How is that even possible? I listen to it on repeat since the LA live reveal. It hits so hard I had that same thought about CRUEL INTENTIONS (always loved that theme). Have a nice weekend, Zack and fellow Angels 😇

[@ryanjacob3338]

😂 Yeah we're all just a boy. Unreal song fit for sure, she's that godly storyteller, crazy voice. I like that run that sent you reeling there. 👌Gorgeous stuff.

[@CarlD70]

Thank you Zack...beautiful reaction, your facial expressions pretty much said all that needed to be said... and agree completely that Angelina now owns this song as well....she has a habit of doing that a lot. Toby now has a YT channel where he posted this as well as other songs from the Piano Diaries. Cheers and Stay Well.

[@MichaelAmis-te2md]

Zack, thanks for doing this one! The WOW factor is all over this performance! She showcases her vocal talents throughout out! The cinematography is awesome and the instrumentals brings it all together!🇳🇴🇺🇸🎤

[@stevenhambek846]

I set here and watched Angelina melt your heart. It’s powerful,sweet and comforting. God bless and thank you for sharing the magic. Tip of the iceberg my friend. Pick out any interview and her humility, grace and kindness will finish the job completely. It’s as if we transform into something better or at least grounded in our special inner self begging to be released.

[@poolhallshark]

Beautiful reaction. Your face tells me everything I need to know. Have a great weekend! Love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

[@jollyo9276]

👣Angelina only keep getting better and better, - simply amazing. And considering that it willl go on like that for a few years still, - even thinking of that makes goosbumps appear, even under my feet. She is a master of her craft, no doubt. 🤩 BTW - talking about feet - did you get it? I do like so much that Angelina lately is stating it very "laud & clear", as she make her point of performing with bare feet - like as she👠👠 walks in to the "stage" - then shoes off 👣 and ready to perform. How can we not love and approve her for what she does 🤗

[@chuckcoughlin3112]

Wow, what a voice. I will have to check her out. That was so good!

[@stevenhambek846]

You are in for the ride of your life. Timing is everything. She’s not from our galaxy.

Wow!!! She always amazes me!! It's really been fun watching her grow over the years!!!

[@OleOlson121]

If I Were a Boy Just released on Angelina Jordan official channel. Studio Quality in a beautiful church. From 4 K after an hour to 21 k after 6 hrs. This song is blowing up. Reactors are flocking to this in an epic show of interest and excitement. Many don't know who this Toby Gad is and when they find out they are even more impressed. With good reason. The very best, the cream of the crop of all the most fabulous artists and writers are opening new doors for Angelina to break down. No one is going to keep this girl down. You go girl. The world is a stage and it belongs to you. 😊♥👣

[@alberttenfoot]

Hi! It's now up to 44,000 + views after 15 hours. At this rate, it could reach, 75000 in 24 hours.

[@TroyArchAngel]

@@alberttenfoot 52K 21 hours, at this rate 1.5M in a month. Obviously if it keeps going at this rate, it could lower the rate or it could get a higher rate. Funny to say this, but it all depends on youtube algorithm. Does youtube want AJ to blow up? Is the algorithm fair or are they hand picked... You get what I mean... Lets not forget the marketing side from other parts, but youtube plays a massive part in it.

[@TroyArchAngel]

@@DavidePastorino-fl9xc Yes, but is that only it? Just saying, maybe there is a way to edit manually instead of an automated algorithm. We all know that is the case. There should be nothing against what Angelina does, except that she is not like the other typical artists that influence certain practices. You must know what I mean.

[@monicalund7955]

Great reaction again Zack 😊 No need for big words when seeing your facial expressions 🥰 Love every reaction you do of our 👣👸 I got goosebumps and tears right away again from this preformance 🎤💯 Wish you a great weekend 🇧🇻🇺🇲

[@jeffjeff-j6t]

I agree Zack, Iv'e been following her since 2020 and will til I hit the dirt. Her voice relaxes me and lowers my Blood pressure. Great Reaction Zack.

[@AbbieCrescendo]

Thank you for the reaction Zack. Stunning performance by all involved.

[@rw716]

Nice reaction! She's 18 and still barefooted. On the piano is the co-writer of the song, Toby Gad. Just to let you know, 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. Per Toby, they played it for Beyonce one day and she really wanted to sing and use this song, and the rest you say is history. Angelina and Toby have been working together for a while now and are creating new music for her to sing. They teased a song at a special event called Bad Valentine and it should be coming out within a few months. This collaboration is awesome! The Piano Diaries is Toby's project of other singers singing his most famous songs. Angelina of course is singing this song made famous by Beyonce. Who exactly is Toby Gad? Gad is a 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 and "If I Were a Boy" by Beyoncé. Other notable works include "Skyscraper" for Demi Lovato, "Who You Are" for Jessie J, "Untouched" for The Veronicas, "A Year Without Rain" for Selena Gomez & the Scene, "Don't Hold Your Breath" for Nicole Scherzinger, "Love You More" for JLS, and "I Do" for Colbie Caillat. What a fantastic resume!

[@annkarin5732]

I just have to play it over and over again on Spotify 🥰 Happytimes every time she sings a new song. Yes she takes you to another worlf every time ❤ Thank you 🦋🌹 Ann from Norway

[@luckyharry6511]

Yeah, Angelina steals it, simply runs away with it. And she takes us with her. As always, I just love to hear her dance!

[@patrickchauharjasingh7164]

"I just love to hear her dance". Beautifully, beautifully said.

[@boscobeans]

An amazing performance. Watching Angelina and Toby create a magical emotional story. Angelina is actually taking the lead vocally in this and Toby is following with the music.

[@eTraxx]

What I find quite wonderful is that they are working together on songs

[@jeffthebeeguy]

She should open each performance with "please come in, leave your troubles behind and welcome---to my world".

She could cover the opening song of Cheers :-)

"She stole the song!" Well put. Angelina is a force of nature. I love the way this collab is starting off with an iconic song that lots of people know, but now we know it a whole different way. Angelina Jordan and Gramm-winning Toby Gad writing a song together. Great things to come!

[@lassehedegaard1004]

its the first time i have listen to the lyrics of this song !!! when AG starts singing she has your full attention i have experienced this several times with her. Take Billie Jean i have heard i a 1000 times and its a great song but the first time i really heard the song was when AG sang it.

[@rogercarriere4756]

Nothing to add, you just have to listen to her voice. She is phenomenal!

[@HusemR]

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.

[@larrypifer1103]

The metamorphosis of AJ. Angelina Jordan's evolution from a child prodigy to a full-grown artist is a testament to her enduring talent and the natural progression of life. It's not uncommon for fans to feel nostalgic about artists they've followed since childhood, but growth and change are intrinsic to the human experience. As Angelina transitions into adulthood, her style and presentation may change, but what remains constant is her unique voice that continues to captivate audiences worldwide. Her journey reflects the transformation every artist undergoes, adapting and maturing both personally and professionally. This metamorphosis often brings a deeper, more resonant voice and a presence that resonates with both the innocence of youth and the wisdom of experience. Angelina's ability to maintain her signature sound while enhancing it with the strength of adulthood is what makes her a true phenomenon in the music industry. (CopyRight) PS. If anyone questions her abilities as an adult, all one has to do is experience her performance in Dec. of 2023 at the Nobel Peace Prize on Oslo, Norway when she performed the most exquisite performance in my lifetime of Unchained Melody with the KORK Orchestra, no one on earth could have performed it better.

[@larrypifer1103]

Toby Gad, and AJ have written a new song! The collaboration between Toby Gad and Angelina Jordan has sparked excitement with the announcement of their new original song "Bad Valentine." The anticipation for its release is high, especially after their recent performance at the Hotel Cafe. While the exact release date has not been officially announced, fans eagerly await the new material, which promises to showcase Jordan's unique vocal talents alongside Gad's renowned songwriting skills. Their previous work together, coupled with Jordan's powerful rendition of "If I Were a Boy," suggests that "Bad Valentine" will be another significant addition to her growing repertoire. The music community is abuzz with speculation and enthusiasm for this upcoming release. (CopyRight) If I Were A Boy Angelina Jordan's rise in the music industry is a testament to her exceptional talent and unique voice. From a young age, she has captivated audiences with her soulful performances and mature musical understanding. Her ability to connect with listeners and deliver performances with emotional depth is unparalleled. As she continues to grow as an artist, her influence extends beyond the charts, inspiring a new generation of musicians and music lovers alike. With each performance, she reaffirms her status as a prodigious talent in the world of music. AJ' s ability to imbue each song with deep emotion and her own distinctive style makes her a sought-after artist for songwriters and composers. Having a song performed by her can be seen as a mark of prestige, potentially elevating the song's reach and impact. It's a testament to her talent that songwriters might feel that having her interpret their work would bring a new level of recognition and appreciation to their music. Beyonce' version of "If I Were A Boy" was good, but AJ's version gives one chills and causes us to cry, not sad tears but happy emotional tears of joy. (CopyRight)

[@flea10x6]

After AJ sings, it becomes her song with her arrangement or phrasing!

[@jeffjeff-j6t]

This is pretty much her song now Zack, Toby asked her to reinvent it for his piano Diaries project , She's releasing this version at the end of the month with other songs her and Toby are working on together now. She's a Genius, The G.O.A.T. IMO.

I Love Angelina's reworking of this Toby Gad song. Beyonce did win The Grammy performing this. Maybe Angelina can also win one. Interesting thought: Has a song ever won 2 Grammys being performed by 2 different artists? My gut says no. 🍁

[@most2dot0]

"Yes, there is an example of a song winning Grammy Awards when performed by different artists: "Bridge Over Troubled Water," written by Paul Simon. The original version by Simon & Garfunkel won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year in 1971. A cover version by Aretha Franklin also won the Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance in 1972. This showcases how a song can receive Grammy recognition through different interpretations by various artists." Courtesy of ChatGPT, verified by Wikipedia. PS: If I Were A Boy did not receive an Grammy. Only the album it was on.

[@ClifftheBigRedDoggy]

@@most2dot0 I only recall Somon & Garfunkel's version. I owned that album as a kid. I'll go find Aretha's version. I looked on Wiki and it seemed to show this song won the Grammy, but you sound more of an expert. Beyonce's KZbin has 630 million views. (The version where she is a cop) Personally, I think Angelina's version is more to my taste.

[@MarkHughson]

AJ makes the Beyonce cover sound mundane. Thanks to Toby for asking her to sing this reinvented cover of his song for his Piano Diaries album. Toby is quoted saying, “Working with Angelina has been nothing short of inspiring. Her ability to channel profound emotion through her voice adds a whole new depth to the song.”
