Metal Vocalist First Time Reaction - Angelina Jordan - Easy On Me ( Adele Cover )

[@9Ballr]

Angelina shows us what every song can be.

[@cathy8070]

Never apologize for getting emotional to Angelina’s singing. She just has a way of doing that to people. This is why her Fanbase is so hardcore 🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦

[@rogercarriere4756]

Absolutely

[@stevenhambek846]

Just one reason 😊

[@jameshunt14]

I have been Choked up many times on her songs, absolutely angel sent from Heaven

[@dojoswitzer]

If you don’t get emotional, then you weren’t listening.

[@Owen_S.]

Absolutely one of the reasons that I've been such a huge fan over the years. There are lots of objective musical reasons to respect her (musicality, sense of time, unique vibrato, etcetera), but for sure she has a unique presence about her, a certain "je ne sais quoi" that nobody else has, at least these days. She's a treasure for music lovers.

[@BetsySchiller-sj2sm]

I've seen her make grown men cry every time they react . You're in good company.

[@cathy8070]

I’m telling you, Angelina will blow any artist out of the water 🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦

[@shodanrich3317]

I think she dropped this like 5 days after Adele came out with it. Magnificent cover.

[@musicluvr70]

Actually it was 12 days. Adele's original premiered on KZbin on Oct. 14, 2021 kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2SkhJ1ngZuSqbs Angelina's cover was posted Oct. 26, 2021 kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6HaZoRta82Kjac and Angelina posted a TikTok video of herself singing this just 6 hours after the original was released.

[@rayray6982]

Friend...gotta hear her version of California Dreaming!!!! perfection!

[@scottyr618]

"... I've heard this song so many times. I've never heard it like that. it's never made me feel that way..." Describes just about every cover song she's ever done.

[@steve1711]

That was a great reaction, but this is nothing to the experience you get watching her live. Last July in Norway she sang 18 songs, all amazing. But, her interaction with the crowd and her stage presence was off the scale. At the end of the concert people were in shock, didn't want to leave, then she came back on stage to thank everyone.

[@beachbumseaglass]

Good reaction bro John. She makes me crazy. Listen to " All I ask ". Holy crap. 👍🤯

[@Owen_S.]

"That is freaking beautiful!" Yeah, John, I gotta agree with you there! Don't get me wrong, I've been an Adele fan for a long time, but Angelina's musical choices are just ... better. At 15 years old. And the beauty of her voice just can't be duplicated. You're totally right - this cover exceeds the original. Since you are an Adele fan, too, check out Angelina's cover of "All I Ask."" She crushes that one, as well. Thanks for the reaction, John.

[@Sweetpea4575]

I think you are spot on with this song being very personal to Angelina. She WAS too young to choose what she chose to do, even if she still believes it was the right choice. I think when AJ sang this she was asking all of us to go easy on her. So much pressure to live up to “the best vocalist” of the century. MHO

[@IkramKahn-ov8fq]

The Barefoot Princess Angelified us again. She is a bright comet in our skies.

[@103mrg]

This is a great example which demonstrates why reacting to an Angelina cover demands that the reacter should first listen to the original.

[@massimoseganti8687]

true

[@MichaelGroves777]

Please remember to honor the artist by putting a link to the original in the description

[@ClandOp]

I think the major reason AJ is able to channel emotion in this song is that she was "still a child" when she had to deal with all the aspects of fame, like Adele was very young when she had to deal with a husband and a baby and fame all at once. AJ can relate to the lyrics.

[@annc9660]

Awesome reaction, just love her voice....no one, i mean no one has a voice like hers....

[@TheBlaster54]

Some of the greatest music producers have said that Angelina is a master level story teller.

[@lindagmx]

You should listen to "All I Ask" from Adele. Adele is great but Angelina is so AWESOME! Can't wait for your reaction to it!

[@livingLge]

Among my top 5 AJ performances for sure.

[@rogercarriere4756]

I wrote the same suggestion before seeing yours, I absolutely agree.

[@SteveAckerman-ly3qg]

Her performance of All I Ask is achingly beautiful, and the run about 2/3 of the way through is soul-piercing.

[@johannesdippenaar5087]

Angelina touch your soul. That's what she is doing with her voice.

[@TheBlaster54]

What makes this performance even more spectacular is knowing that Angelina was only fifteen years old at the time. No one covers Adele’s songs like Angelina does.

[@williamdunphe-bh2pu]

Awesome reaction as always thank you 😃 wild bill

[@rogercarriere4756]

John, please check her cover of « All I Ask » another Adele song.

[@samanthaclough7637]

Great reaction 😊

[@larrypifer1103]

Easy On Me Both Angelina Jordan and Adele are under the Republic Records umbrella, 12 hours after Adele released "Easy On Me," this video was dropped on the internet by AJ, and Adele has seen it. Adele wrote the song with its producer, Greg Kurstin, and it is about a broken marriage and a mother trying to explain to her son why it is happening. You have to ask yourself how a 15-year-old Angelina Jordan could do this song justice and give it the emotion it deserves? Here again, AJ takes on the impossible and makes it a classic as she always does. Every time this girl opens her mouth and those ethereal sounds come rolling out, I lose my breath, and the tears appear. There is no one else on earth that moves me like AJ, and at 75 I have experienced the best the industry has to offer.

[@robertpalmer9831]

I loved your reaction. I expected a musical analysis, instead I saw honest heartfelt emotions. I've never heard an artist who could move me emotionally like Angelina Jordan. I love music and many great musicians and singers. But for me AJ is on another level. ❤

[@biljanabadovinac1575]

So good, I am hardly breathing. Great reaction John. ❤

[@lightbearer7552]

Thank you John for a fantastic reaction to our wonderful Angelina just 15yrs old here she is incomparable, she does this with nearly every song no matter what genre or what artist , i can't tell you how much she touches my heart like no artist ever , there is no one even close she doesn't fabricate anything she literally is what she sings it it unique, it is beautiful and it is love and she is the embodiment of the purest love it doesn't get any more real than Angelina it's why we love her so much.💗

[@elisabethstermo9396]

Well said. I totally agree with you. 😀 👍

[@amplifiedlight]

I think you're very right about this song meaning a great deal to Angelina. If my memory serves, she dropped a tiktok cover within a couple of days and this professional video a mere week after Adele's release!

[@keithserafy]

amplifiedlight I think the TikTok was up around 8 hours after Adele released the song, not a couple of days. She was serious about this song.

[@musicluvr70]

@@keithserafy, I think it was 6 hours, but either way, it was amazing that she could sing this on TikTok so well after just that short amount of time. I've heard that Angelina said she felt a connection to the song as soon as she heard it. Many feel that Angelina was singing about her own childhood while Adele was singing about her marriage at a young age.

[@ginajung6205]

Agree John.....I also love Adele but Angelina touches me in a way that Adele can't...her emotion is palpable....she is just amazing ❤

[@johnvasi]

Adele deserves enormous credit for her songwriting and her performances, but she does not have the vocal tools Angelina does. Actually, I’ve never heard anyone who can match Angelina’s stunning performances across so many different genres. There is a perfect example of what you wished for. It’s a mash-up video of Adele and Angelina (at 12) singing alternate verses of Adele’s beautiful, melancholy song, “A Million Years Ago”. We’ve known for a long time how good Adele is, but watch how Angelina can truly mesmerize you with her voice and especially her interpretation of this beautiful song in this impromptu acoustic performance. Hearing them together will give you the comparison you wondered about. It would be even better if you did a reaction to this. Here’s the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4nUoYydq5mneKM

[@wizardm]

Angelina is the only artist I know who is able to cover songs that always stand on their own and give them a new quality. Every original artist should feel honored by her interpretation.

[@SuperLiorr]

Angelina released this song 3 days after Adele released it...amazing!!! There is a joint version of Adele and Angelina with each other in an edited video.

[@kayceeg6636]

Her raspy and deep voice is so beautiful 🙂

[@katherandefy]

She reaches to the deepest places in my memories. It’s wild. How can a voice do such a thing? Should not be able to do that. Just wow.

[@BAfan-tt9zl]

-Especially as one so young!!

[@RoguishlyHandsome]

I love her.

[@albertstern1945]

Hey Roland. Nice reaction and amazing performance by a 15 year old,. but I also suggest the following 2 Adele covers. Someone Like You, which is her classiest performance IMHO, at 13 and All I Ask at 14. She is so good that I believe she will rewrite Music History and become a Music Legend.. Adele is one of the best but nobody can emit the emotion and soul of a song like Angelina. I think she reads the lyrics first before listening to the song. In this way she can understand the feeling and emotion the artist wants to convey. Then she arranges it to be able to dramatically convey the feeling and emotion to us. She takes iconic songs and makes them Angelina songs. Her vocals, tones and smokiness do the rest. She is already The Greatest of All Time! Just amazing!!

[@dojoswitzer]

Attuned to your praises, do you think now is time to create an Angelina playlist in your channel?

[@larrypifer1103]

Angelina Jordan is the ULTIMATE PERFORMER, it’s like she is singing for you, and you alone. She knows where that soft spot is within you, and she goes there on the very first note of each performance. She leaves you begging for more like no one else can.

[@duanejohnson6271]

She is the greatest female vocalist to ever live. No one has ever had the combination of talents as this young lady. While she has not had the experiences of which she sings, she goes there and imparts the emotion in a way that is magical. Tears are allowed and expected. She is incomparable. She is a gift to us all.

[@primordialsimilarity6262]

Facts !

[@Mr.DamianM]

Agreed.

[@TheBjornwilly]

She has this gift that is very hard to explain. Angelina is all about spreading love and kindness. I think she's doing great!! I know she has changed many lives and is an inspiration.

[@tmtjr]

Yeah....this is spectacular.

[@ingeborgjackson2461]

Beautiful🌹🌹🌹

[@charlesbiskeborn3369]

I've been a fan of this young superstar for over 3 years now. I think every song she covers is better than the original but her Adele covers are by far the most beautiful and unbelievable things I have ever heard. Adele is a talent that doesn't need anyone to brag her up, her song writing skills do that. That said Angelina just makes those songs so much different with totally new nuances so they actually feel like new songs. Not just Adele but all of her covers. Somehow she brings out the emotions that are meant to be felt that the original artists attempt but are not able to swing. I also wonder if Adele is aware of Angelina's revamping of her songs. I don't know how she couldn't but I have never heard of anyone bringing this question to her. Maybe in a few months time after Angelina demolishes her first Grammys the powers that be make a deal for a televised special where these 2 powerhouses are brought together. It would be awesome to watch.

[@francisbennett5965]

Thank you. That was by far one of the classiest reactions to Angelina I've seen

[@lindathompson3982]

You are an on-point reactor. Hooray! Thank you!

[@primordialsimilarity6262]

Yeah, she Crushed this Song like Only Angelina can, Amazing 🤩

[@angelastant6554]

With Angelina it’s not just her voice but her ability to convey feelings that she has never actually experienced. Only 15 here, her family and friends have always protected Angelina from the dangers faced by many young talented people. They have allowed her to follow her passion for singing at the same time as allowing her to lead a happy childhood. Fully aware of things beyond her years, she wrote a song about her gratitude for the protection and encouragement she has always been given. She was 12, it’s called Shield and worth checking out.

[@lisareeves2448]

Pure Liquid Gold❤️

[@mldkenny]

I remember this when it first came out I played it a 1000 times and shared it with all my friends saying it is simply hard to believe that a true classic can be changed for the better, with true Angelina style! Great reaction.

[@andyschnell58]

We always appreciate reactors who tell us what they think about why Angelina always performs barefoot. *Why Angelina always performs barefoot* At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. PLEASE PURCHASE Angelina’s book from her merchandise store on her official website, angelinajordanofficial

[@marvinboswell6889]

Beautiful enjoyed your reaction ,if you listen to Angelina a lot you will find she sings songs either really great or just unbelievably good .,

[@localnetsolutions]

While I have liked Adele for a long time she is a great pop singer because AJ has really worked on being a jazz singer which allows her to have more tools in her tool box

Beautiful reaction, John. This is probably my second favorite performance by her, after her cover of Lauren Daigle's "You Say", which she sang as a thank you to all of her fans during her live, digital Christmas concert on December 23rd 2021. If you want to be even more blown away and even more teary eyed, then definitely give that one a listen. Look for the video where you can see her in a white, beautiful dress, with a Christmas tree behind her. Much love from Norway 🇸🇯❤️🔥

Angelina Jordan dan Putri Ariani sama2 mendapatkan Golden Bazzer di AGT di usia muda dan sama2 pernah mengcover lagu2 seperti lagu dari Queen Michael Jackson Adele Queen dan yang lainnya keduanya punya suara yang indah dan khas bedanya Putri membawakan lagu ciptaan sendiri dan di aransemen sendiri ❤❤❤

[@tomwhite4736]

you were being polite and respectful considering you are on a ANGELINA reaction , then you go and let yourself down by having a dig at Angelina not performing her own song ( oh yes you did) just not necessary .so since you decided to point out the differences let me do the same , putri performed 1 original and 1 cover on AGT she was aged 17 and won a golden buzzer , Angelina was aged 13 and won a golden buzzer at that age she had 3 original songs to choose from written from aged 11 she decided to perform bohemian rhapsody as it was a well known song and it would connect to a American audience , so tell me if putri was aged 13 would she have performed a original or a cover do think ? there was a reason Simon asked putri to perform another song why do you think that was ? my advice to putri is to perform a well known song in the next round that a American audience can connect to and she may well blow the roof off , as ANGELINA did .

[@larrypifer1103]

That dude playing the piano is Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California, and he has been working with AJ since she signed with the largest record company in the world at the age of 14, three years ago. Rob was the MC of AJ Christmas Show that aired Dec 23, of 21. AJ’s Christmas Show that live-streamed on Dec 23 of 21 had some of the most important musicians of our time: Frank Sinatra's drummer for 6 years, and sun in-law of the late Henry Mancini, Greg Field has won 9 Grammys, and the bass player, Chuck Berghofer who also played for Sinatra for 6 years, and toured with Barbara Streisand, accompanied AJ on her Christmas Show, and they stated that she had the "storytelling ability of the greats, Streisand, Fitzgerald, Vaughan, including Sinatra, to name a few. The main pianist, a five-time nominated for Grammys, Shelly Berg, stated in all his years working with the greatest vocalist, he had never encountered a talent like AJ. Did I forget to mention Jimmy Z, the famous Sax Player who worked with Rod Steward, Etta James, the Eurythmics, and Doctor Dre, was part of the band for the show? Jimmy stated that AJ was the best he has ever played for. Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California played the guitar, and was the MC of the show. (I can't list the complete backgrounds on all the band members because it would take several pages to do them justice.) Angelina stated that she would rather perform than take a breath, and she has never been forced to perform, it has been her decision.

[@keithserafy]

I agree that this is better than the original. This is also the conclusion of most vocal coaches & reactors that I've seen, some have even analyzed both versions, line by line. As others have said, you need to hear what she did to Adele's, All I Ask. My #1 Angelina song is her cover of the jazz standard, My Funny Valentine when she was barely 16 yo. It is vocal mastery at its best! kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4WqfZWpfKl0f5I

[@capstan50g]

I look at Adele as an artist and admire her as a world-class songwriter and professional performer, but I find that I frequently like covers of her songs more than her original performances. Angelina nails this Adele classic and adds a little more melancholy to it. I understand Angelina released this within days of Adele's release. Great reaction, John!

[@musicluvr70]

Angelina posted a TikTok of her singing this just 6 hours after Adele released the original. She posted this music video 12 days after the original was released. She said in an interview that she felt a connection to the song as soon as she heard it. Many feel that while Adele was singing about her marriage at a young age, Angelina is singing about her own childhood.

[@elisabethstermo9396]

And besides that. Adele is how old?? 35 years old. She could be Angelina mother. That counts. Here's some info about Adele. Adele, byname of Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, (born May 5, 1988, Tottenham, London, England), English pop singer and songwriter whose soulful emotive voice and traditionally crafted songs made her one of the most broadly popular performers of her generation. Her generation, She's more than twice a age than Angelina. And still she hasn't the warm love in her voice as Angelina do have. Adeles voice is like a metallic robot 🤖 Don't get me wrong. I love Adele, I used to. She writes beautiful songs. But that was before I heard Angelina's voice.

[@angelightification]

🌀 No wonder Republic Records signed Angelina so quickly. I think the piano player is the same gentleman who is a two time Grammy winner with Republic Records.🌀

My opinion, better than Adel… there’s another song that’s an original. She wrote to her parents. Called Shield, you have to listen to the lyrics in that one. One of the lines is, I’m sorry for all that I am. She sang it when she was 12 years old dedicated to her parents. The barefoot princess is absolutely an angel sent from Heaven.

[@BUDSBEAU]

She was 15 here and recorded this just a day or Two after Adele released it. Find her video of her original song called “Million Miles “ live in studio . She wrote it about the death of her grandfather, talk about powerful, the song and her voice. Get the hanky ready it’s a tear jerker !!! At 14 years old. There are 3 videos of the same song. One is animated by Angelina and her grandmother Mery, the second one is just a video and the third one is a live in studio in black and white. The music for the third video is bared down to just a piano and cello. The original music is more plinky plunky. She first went into a recording studio at age 6 years old. So much more to learn about her. She has been referred to as the girl with a thousand voices !!!
