JAW-DROPPING Performance: Reacting to Angelina Jordan's Incredible Suspicious Minds Cover

[@tammyjackson3113]

Elvis's black jumpsuit and guitar, Priscilla's beehive hair and Angelina's magical storytelling ❤

[@marketsquareus]

I have noticed that whenever she does a cover there is always an essence of the original artist in her performance.

[@peterhormell1511]

Excellent reaction. Spot on! I agree with everything you said. 🎶❤️👣

[@LoccdWolfReacts]

[@AAndromeda-lw7fh]

[@osovagabundo1]

The best full on warmest solid placement of any song ever. Her voice fills every microphone and every speaker unlike any other singer. She’s becoming a singer’s singer.

[@mldkenny]

The opening vocals are the most stunning ever! Great reaction to this amazing performance.

[@rachelcarter5282]

AJ knocked this outta the park. It’s stunning

[@terrymajor3450]

My wife also thinks she is an alien. Amazing voice tone and control. Her ability to interpret music is very advanced and amazingly skillful. How she phrases the musical lines second to none.

The little girls are her cousins, her maternal Uncle Mike's kids (Mike is her manager). The older girl is Angelina's sister Juliette .. the executive producer mentioned at the start is Mery Zamani is Angelina's maternal grandmother, muse, mentor, prodigy in her own right

[@jojomurphy-qw2vq]

I always say that. Before AJ I wished to live at the same time as one of the greats. Wish granted

[@katherandefy]

This one continues to amaze with this song. Yeh agree… “how much more mature ya gonna GET!?” 😂 So true. She is already there long time ago. Mind blowing in the wind so hypnotized. ❤

[@kentovewagenes1141]

Absolutely love that cover ❤️ Finally the lyrics make sense. Felt like the Elvis version was like a party song with the fast pace of the song. This version feels so much more and the story comes alive ❤️

[@griselizondo]

Yes, she is MAGIC, no doubt about it ❤ I love your reactions to Angelina ❤

[@royperkins9176]

This version really makes the lyrics jump out and her voice makes you hang on every word. Great reaction. Thanks

[@christophersmith2793]

Absolutely phenomenal arrangement and performance, the first two little girls are Angelina’s cousins her Uncle Mikes children, the eldest girl is Angelina’s sister Juliette uncle Mike is also her manager, production input from Angelina’s Grandma Mery Zamani who is a talented artist and poet, The pianist is two times Grammy Award winner Rob Christie the musical director of Republic Records, who Angelina signed with at 14 years old, Angelina is paying tribute to Elvis with her black outfit and her red guitar 🎸 and Pricilla Presley hair style, Cover of a Cover as the original artist Mark James who wrote and recorded Suspicious Minds didn’t achieve with his original, then Elvis Covered the song and it was a hit, great reaction thanks 🙏

[@nancywilson9380]

Love your reactions to the first piano notes, Angelina's first singing notes, how she did Elvis's "oh yeh" and the lip curl!! 👏

[@reneeville]

Yep… Maybe this is one of my favorite reactions. She put this out shortly after the Elvis movie came out! Then after Lisa died, she had a beautiful tribute she sent to Priscilla… You said earlier she has an Otherworld gift I’ll just say amen.

[@StephanieHealy-wh9cn]

I reacted the same way you did with the first note the first time I heard this one.

[@ScionDraak]

Hello LoccdWolf, months ago i read (or a reactor said), that this is the strongest onset ever recorded. And even if that was an expression of the first impression, for me it is. Each time i listen to this , i close my eyes, stop breathing and inhale when she starts... Always the same... it's like i stand behind a Boeing 747 going full-throttle to lift-off, and the power of the 4 Rolls-Royce Streams "*BLOW YOU AWAY*" ... She's the Arch-Angel of the Heaven's choir, here for a visit on our small blue planet.

[@andyschnell58]

Judge Lisa on Norway's Got Talent, after hearing Angelina sing for the first time, exclaimed "you ARE music". Her interpretations of a given song are spot on and she is able the convey the emotions she feels from the story.

[@promaraservart2137]

You must know this, you will be glad. I had goosebumps from the enchantment. I'm from Romania, a small country in Europe and I heard Angelina's song Love don't let me go' on a Romanian radio station, Impuls radio. I was so happy and proud! Since the pandemic year, I discovered Angelina, she is my daily mantra of good mood and healing

[@andyschnell58]

@@promaraservart2137 Thank you for sharing.

[@jeffreyjenkins1242]

@@promaraservart2137 From the USA. I discovered Angelina in May, 2017. My father had just passed away. Angelina has been my constant companion since then. Greetings to all Romanians!

[@alberttenfoot]

Thank you for returning to Angelina. Your reactions to her performances are always worth watching. The song was written by Mark James, an American singer/songwriter, who recorded it the year it was written. The best known version, however, was that done by Elvis Presley. It was his last No 1 song. In the Wikipedia entry of the origins of the song, Mark James is said to have remarked "That late one night, he was fooling around on his Fender guitar and using his Hammond organ pedals for a bass line and came up with what he thought was a catchy melody. At the time, he was married to his first wife but still had feelings for his childhood sweetheart, who was married back in Houston. James's wife had suspicions about his feelings. He felt it was a confusing time for him and that all three were "caught in this trap that they could not walk out of." Other singers covering this song invariably base their performance on that of Elvis, in that it is very "upbeat". Angelina took a very different path in that she read and understood the lyrics and what Mark James intended when writing them . To my mind, her rendition is much truer to the emotions of the song. The children appearing in the video were Angelina's cousins Aurora (first) and then Athena - daughters of her uncle Michael Astar, and then her sister Juliette. I would hazard a guess that they were included to emphasise that children are very important to Angelina and her family. Confession! I have never been a great fan of Elvis Presley, although I do like some of his earlier recordings, and I had never heard of the song "Suspicious minds" but knew that Angelina would completely take ownership of it, and she did. It was beautiful. After listening to it several times, I decided to download the lyrics to see whether she kept to the original structure. She didn't, and the song is all the better for it. For me, that she started with the Bridge of the song is very significant and, I feel, very indicative of Angelina's "up front" transparency. She was declaring that it was important that their love did not die, and then carries on to say why she feels as she does. Others first say how they feel and then, almost as an afterthought, assure their love they don't want it to end. For me, it is whether I feel the singer is genuine about the situation and wishes it could be resolved or whether the singer understands the situation but thinks the blame is on her/his partner but feels the need to assure them they don't want it to end (until somebody else comes along).

[@LoccdWolfReacts]

Thank you and Thank you for the info as always!

[@cm0355]

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

[@lynelleharper3661]

Your observations are so on point! She definitely draws you in!

[@mikeplott4817]

You got it absolutely the evolution of Angelina Jordan Astar 👍🙏👣

[@rw716]

Her Grandma, Mery Zamani, helped produced this. She used the same store (Melrose Gallery in L.A.) she used for her My Funny Valentine and I Have Nothing videos. Her sister Juliette was the older girl and the 2 younger girls are her Uncle Mike's kids. 2- time Grammy winner Rob Christie is on piano once again. He is also the music director of Republic Records, the music company she is signed with. The beehive hairstyle was to honor Priscilla Presley and the time period she met Elvis. The black suit and red guitar was a classic look for Elvis from his comeback concert. What a performance and homage to Elvis!

[@gailhubbard7102]

Yes! Elvis would love this girl for sure! Thanks for a great reaction! ❤

[@LoccdWolfReacts]

My pleasure!!

[@I_scribbles]

When AJ walked in and uncovered the chair, the mirror and the piano, she was inviting you to have a seat and reflect on the music.

[@jeffreyjenkins1242]

Youngest girl: niece Athena, middle girl: niece Aurora, both are her uncle and manager Michael Astar's daughters. Oldest girl is Angelina's sister Juliette whom Angelina adores. Grammy winner and Republic Record's VP Rob Christy on piano and Angelina is playing a Hagstrom Viking guitar owned by Rob Christy. Elvis played this guitar during his '68 comeback.

[@williamdunphe-bh2pu]

All the angels love her music no matter what she sings great reaction as always thank you wild bill

[@leechap3]

You can see and hear echoes of Elvis throughout this. It is truly a tribute.

[@albertphilippi4371]

The pianist Rob Christie (music studio director of Republic Records distribution of UMG, two-time Grammy winner) changed the musical arrangement and Angelina changed the vocal arrangement, but she didn't change the lyrics. Angelina changes the lyrical structure starting with the bridge and gives the song a different meaning than Felton Jarvis and Mark James , Angelina version absolutely fits the lyric better. Once again, many people don't hear and understand the song until Angelina tells the story. 👣 💯 *AJ* 💯👣 The producer Felton Jarvis from Elvis Presley cleverly covered this *Mark James song from 1968 in 1969* , Elvis' last #1 hit in the US and #7 of his most successful songs. Felton Jarvis took the original country arrangement completely from Mark James and pushed the song with more speed and additional instruments (wind instruments, violin etc.) and a spectacular backing choir (in the studio version).

[@hdctx]

The shop is owned by a friend of the family. The pianist is Rob Christy, the Grammy award winning head of Republic's Los Angeles studio. This came out the weekend of the Elvis film. The children in the video are Angelina's sister and niece.

The baby and very little girl are Angelina's cousins - the preteen girl is Angelina's sister Juliette and the Piano Player is Rob Christie Director of the Republic Records Los Angeles Studio which is the record label that Angelina has been signed with since she was 14 years old.

She’s usually just barefoot when she’s performing while singing!🤗🎼

[@MarceloFoohs]

El más Loco de los locos 🤟🤣

[@clones365]

Wouldn't think too much about the white dresses. She has performed live since this and wore her signature white dress, such as FIFA awards, Germany Next Top Model, back in Norway concert, etc. Wouldn't be surprised if she also wore one this Friday. More surprised if she didn't. Maybe a red dress and shoes! lol Not likely, at least the shoe part!

[@johannesdippenaar5087]

Many reactors called her an alien and one reactor said " call NASA" when he listen to her.

[@nyima04011]

Great, thanks! Apparently Angelina loves shoes, but she always takes them off when she arrives at the mic.

Thanks bro 👍 I ain't sleeping all night. If I have a pulse I see her tomorrow. 😇🦶🦶
