KRIZZ KALIKO first time reaction to I'd Rather Go Blind - Angelina Jordan

[@nfpnone8248]

Angelina has done a lot of covers, but she has a lot of originals, and over 100 yet to be produced original lyrics, as she writes in her journal every day and her originals come from what she writes in her journal. By the way, she was introduced to jazz from birth and started singing at one and a half, and there is video, that’s why the word “prodigy” is very applicable for Angelina, who has been performing in the music industry for over a decade now, which is totally unbelievable for someone who is only 18.

[@waldemarwojtan1717]

Angelina was 12 years old when she recorded this performance - she was sitting on a sofa at home and testing a new microphone she had just gotten for her birthday. I'd Rather Go Blind" is a blues song written by Ellington Jordan and co-credited to Billy Foster and Etta James. First recorded by Etta James in 1967, it is now considered a blues and soul standard, covered by numerous artists. Chris Stapleton "borrowed" the melody from I'd Rather Go Blind for his Tennessee Whiskey.

[@andyschnell58]

Angelina has hundreds of 'covers' on KZbin but we like to say she doesn't cover songs, she completes them. Angelina told us, by age 18, she had written more than 100 songs and we have heard 16 originals to date. Here is the list. "What is Life" first sung at age 11. We don't know how old she was when she wrote each song. Age presented is her age when she first sang it. "Oslo" age 11 "Shield" age 12 "Million Miles" age 14 we know she wrote this one in the days after her maternal grandfather passed in 2019 when she was 13 "7th Heaven" age 15 "Love Don't Let Me Go" age 17 "Now I'm the Fool" age 17 "Fire and Rain" age 17 "It's All My Fault" age 17 "Good in Goodbyes" age 17 "Diamond" age 17 "Our Time" age 17 "Princess of Ruins" age 18 ..... debuted at her 2 shows in Las Vegas 2/29/24 "Bad Valentine" age 18 worked with Toby Gad "Thank You" age 18 debuted at her Glendale concert 9/20/24 "What Am I to You" age 18 debuted at her Glendale concert Should include songs for which she was the first to sing "I'm Still Holding Out for You" age 10 .... considered one of her best vocal performances by many "Song for A" age 12 "Above the Water" a EDM song released January 31, 2020 "We're the Best" sung with RedOne at the FIFA Awards February 27, 2023 Angelina wrote new lyrics for two famous songs by Amy Winehouse, "Back to Black" and "Rehab" since it was inappropriate for a preteen to sing the original lyrics. For "Back to Black" Angelina wrote the new lyrics in the 24 hours prior to the recording, then needed just two takes.

[@supasoulproductions]

Just messin' around with her new mic and practicing her vocal fry. Not even trying really. And she still kills it.

[@andyschnell58]

Krizz, thanks for continuing your Angelina Jordan journey. Many say Angelina is the girl with 1000 voices. She has more colors to her voice than we have words to describe it. Most of the music industry knows Angelina while very few in the general public have heard of her. Angelina calls her fans, her angels, and we do our best to introduce her to new people. I have attended all 3 of her concerts in the USA and will be at her 4th, this Saturday, at the El Rey Theater, in Los Angeles. There is a great mashup of this performance with Chris Stapleton's version of "Tennessee Whiskey" on KZbin.

[@jojow.2158]

lucky you - i vote for Angelina moove to Germany - who second it....😂

[@robertpalmer9831]

Angelina is emerging as a brilliant songwriter as well. You should check out her EP Old Enough.❤

[@DOUGNIKKEL]

So many great singers I've heard in my 75 years.... This young lady is my all-time favorite.

[@papalolobueno6125]

Good call, there's a mashup out there of this with tennessee whiskey, sounds great!

[@Hundhammer]

just wanted to say that, it's on Kaleidoscope RMX channel...

[@elmeromero303]

She will be remembered as one of the greatest of all Time one Day, for sure ❤😇 keep diggin in the Crates, there are some hidden Gems 😉

[@HamptonYoung]

This is an Etta James classic. Way before Tennessee Whiskey. You might want to see her recent cover of Beyonce's "If I Were a Boy" if you're interested in what she's doing currently.

[@Mhantrax]

Gonna have to dig up my old Etta record now.

[@charlesallison146]

When you hear her backstory you will be extremely proud of this human being. Her vocal talents are only surpassed by her pure heart... EXCEPTIONAL HUMAN BEING !!!!

[@boscobeans]

With fans all over the world in the tens of millions she is probably the best singer in the world today and maybe in for the last hundred years. Try her other stuff like some Whitney or James Brown. This ain't no rabbit hole it is a musical abyss that some people never escape from.

[@McDevittMike]

Angelina comes from an artistic family but not a musical one. Her grandmother, a renowned Iranian painter, played a lot of jazz around the house when she was a kid and she fell in love with it. There's a clip of her singing a Whitney Houston song at a year and a half. All this is to point out that Angelina's career is a self-driven and determined one. Her family, all of it, follows her around and takes very good care of her. She is surrounded by love. 😎

[@victoriasuthrland3406]

You should watch the Documentary by "wrapped in a warm blanket, her younger years "" they show her singing at one and a half years old and tell you about her grandmother who helped her,, thanks again for doing this,, if you want to learn more about her you should read the comments,, she has a very large following, Enjoy your reaction !!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheBlaster54]

Angelina is currently eighteen years old. She will be turning nineteen on January 10th. She’s got over two hundred covers and original songs for you to binge watch on.

[@eTraxx]

Tennessee Whiskey is new lyrics to this song pretty much

[@michaeldrucker3341]

Grandma at 5 years old.

[@vickie5ft2]

There is a video of Angelina singing "I'd Rather Go Blind" and Chris singing "Tennessee Whisky" combined‼😇😊

[@mattiefee]

I'm so glad you said this sounds like Tennessee Whiskey. I've been saying that song ripped off Etta James I'd Rather Go blind for years

[@tomwhite4736]

You and numerous others . In or out the music business .

[@rosalieamaya8093]

Here her sing I’m a fool to want you Angelina Jordan

[@K.K.Strausbaugh]

I love Angelina Jordan, been following her journey for years. So much talent and she is humble and has a huge heart. Her reason why she doesn't wear shoes while performing is admirable, especially considering how young she was when she made that decision. I believe she has moved to the United States for the music industry now.

[@gable354]

Straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@hans-georgschroter7887]

You noticed her smile at the beginning ?😂 Guys I have now a surprise for you with my new mic 😅 Etta James is one of her favorite artists from the past beside Billie holiday her jazzy side. Angelina is music ❤ please react to her first performance in public with gloomy Sunday for the NGT competition when she was only 7 years old. She won this in a landslide 😮

[@robmarar]

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!! 🙏🏾Why isn't every Angel/Fan pushing Krizz to react to her latest single "Bad Valentine", especially since he specifically stated he wanted to hear something more recent from her catalogue. Not to mention he said "all I see are covers", when she's got a ton of original music we as fans should be promoting to the MAX!! 💥💥 I for one HIGHLY Recommend the (Jazzy Piano Version of "Bad Valentine") from Toby Gads album The Piano Diaries. Either one Jazzy, or the soulful original is 🔥& the word needs to get out more. To every AJ Angel out there, let us all make a pact; myself included, to promote her latest music to our fullest ability, above all else. This is AJ's time to shine, so lets give her the spotlight she deserves.❤✌

[@elmarwinkler6335]

Etta James sang that song long before Mr. Stapleton. EfG

[@RachelDacusAuthor]

Angelina began listening to jazz at age one and a half, as she reported in an interview. Her voice now is one of the best on the planet. Her family has nurtured her wish to become a singer, and they have let Angelina lead the way, as she always does, on selecting songs, arrranging her covers and originals, and performing around the world, including twice at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony. In Norway, her home country, she's considered an official National Treasure. Since it's the holiday season, you might enjoy hearing her grownup voice in covering Chris Rea's "Driving Home for Christmas". kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmTYlGiompKIi68

[@OleOlson121]

The Barefoot Princess of Jazz. ❤👣

[@osovagabundo1]

Check out her take on Baby Fuzz’s -I’m Holding Out For You . A demo tape never released but totally fresh and stands strong 8 years later.

[@mattiefee]

Gotta react to Etta James version live 1974 Montreux. That and Drown In My Own Tears same live concert.

[@mariahstewart4985]

You should look up the video where she sings for Quincy Jones on his birthday I believe There's so much to listen to You have just fallen into a rabbit hole as they say, but people have compared it to Tennessee whiskey I even think I saw a mashup between the two songs someone made. There's a whole story with her that I believe you will have a lot of people tell you about better than I can.. You should also listen to her jazzy cover of Michael Jackson's Billie Jean, there's just so many you can't really go wrong with anything you choose to listen to

[@victoriasuthrland3406]

You should watch the Documentary by "wrapped in a warm blanket, her younger years "" they show her singing at one and a half years old and tell you about her grandmother who helped her,,

[@charlespeterson7502]

I'm sure this truly blew your mind. Angelina is always incredible.

[@Bob_A8993]

Thanks for the reaction! Can't get enough Angelina 🙂

[@alainmoussat9684]

🎉🎉🎉 NORWAY'S GOT TALENT (English) I've attached the link to the audition she made on Norway's Got Talent at the age of 7. Self-taught and learning from the jazz masters, little barefooted Angelina sings a Billie Holiday cover of "Gloomy Sunday." This video includes pre and post-content, all with English subtitles. Of the 4 performances on Norway's Got Talent, I've only found this audition video and her final winning performance of "Summertime" with English subtitles. Here are the 4 performances for your viewing pleasure. If you react to these, please include the pre and post content through the judge's comments. NGT 1 - GLOOMY SUNDAY - Billie Holiday (spotlights Angelina, her audition, with English subtitles) kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmTKhJulbt6Zbposi=zs2FQv-c0Lu5NtGc NGT 2 - I'M A FOOL TO WANT YOU - Billie Holiday kzbin.info/www/bejne/bH2slISCasx_pbs NGT 3 - BANG, BANG - Nancy Sinatra kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXWTlmOjnrKGf5I NGT 4 - SUMMERTIME, Ella Fitzgerald/Louis Armstrong (spotlights Angelina, final performance, judges, announcing NGT winner, all with English CC) kzbin.info/www/bejne/sH-XnHSlm5acqZI ... if you want to see the earliest performance we have access to, here she is at 6 years old, singing I WHO HAVE NOTHING, covering Ben. E. King I WHO HAVE NOTHING, Ben E. King cover, age 6 kzbin.info/www/bejne/haWznKt-m8SlZq8si=usoUdJisw3fmCQOx

[@tomrogers1305]

Pretty impressive cover of an Etta James song. But you should hear her 12 year old cover of James Brown's "It's a Man's World". Mind blowing.

[@billeaton9562]

Take the plunge, her latest "Bad Valentine" an original song is killer and she has a couple or three versions of it. This song pre-dates Tennessee Whiskey by quite a stretch so I guess any "borrowing" of cords is by Tennessee Whiskey. She is a month shy of 19 atm. Great reaction hope to see more.

[@SillyMe2718]

She sounds like a cross between Amy Whitehouse & Janis Joplin. Love watching her stage performances.

[@victoriasuthrland3406]

Thanks for continuing to do Angelina jordan,, she has 1000 voices,, Check out her 4 songs she did on Norway got talent ,, Enjoy

Love, love ❤❤❤ Thank you Krizz for great reaction. 😊

[@Cmireflect]

Her rendition of Bohemian rhapsody and yellow brick road (both performances on AGT), are fantastic! But everything she sings is just as good too! She personally makes the musical arrangements, and has done so since she was little child. Remarkable talent indeed. It’s fun watching your reactions like this. Looking forward to more as you go down this rabbit hole…. 😊

[@mikeplott4817]

Bad Valentine latest release with Toby Gaad.. and you're spot on man... her voice is a beast. Drove to New Hampshire last fall for her first U.S. concert . That voice is a resonater on steroids, no effort, just fill the room with that thick zing and ring and ping. Her voice has it all from top to bottom... Angelina is a sweet, kind and very generous young lady AND she's positively gorgeous The whole package.. the next GOAT

[@hattie9794]

Angelina and Upchurch are my favorites 😊❤

[@mldkenny]

Her Self Penned tribute to her late Grandad when she was 14 " Million Miles Away " Studio version is wondeful. Her latest self penned with Toby Gadd " Bad Valentine " Jazzy version recent release is about as any singer could ever get!

[@deanathomas60]

Her early influence was her grandmother who is an artist who creates beautiful paintings. If you check out the documentary on her when she was about five years old, you’ll see her frequent record store called “raw jazz” back in Norway. Yeah, and she can sing like that just sitting on her couch at home ha ha ha!! You would think a singer would prefer to stand up to use all of their lungs and abdomen but Angelina says “no problem, I’ll just sit on my couch.” 😂 PS one of her knockout songs is “this is a man’s world“ hope you’ll check it out!

[@tomwhite4736]

The original Tennessee whisky written by Linda hargrove and dean dillon,, first recorded by David allan coe . Chris Stapleton used the Lyrics from that original and took the music from Id rather go blind by Etta james , written by Ellington Jordan and Etta james .

if i am correct Angelina got that Mic at her 12. birthday so she was just turning 12 here - is it just me but when she sang that long phrase short to the end i always hold my breath and nearly got out of air choking and she just went on and on - so proud of my Granddaughter by choice....cheers from Germany

Thank you for this reaction. Angelina, now 18 years old, sang this song at her recent LA concert with Jimmy Z (who toured with Etta James for 10 years) on harmonica. So beautiful, so talented, yet still so thankful and humble. This young lady is amazing. 🥰

[@mvw5721]

Chris Stapleton was 'inspired' (cough, cough) by I'd Rather Go Blind when he created Tennessee Whiskey. You're not wrong referencing it...here's the mashup of Chris & Angelina: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYCQp4ewatysr68

[@TroyArchAngel]

Angelina is the greatest up and coming artist of today. Unfortunately she ain't achieving what she deserves. As Quincy Jones said; she is the greatest talent since Michael Jackson. Again, unfortunately with todays technology in the industry everyone sounds the same or at least they try to make everyone sound the same. Making the mediocre artists sound as good as the greatest. It's a great business strategy if you think about it. In my opinion she is the best talent we have today. You'll soon know what I mean; She is music....

I really enjoyed your reaction to Angelina Jordan you’re about to go down a rabbit hole with her that has no bottom. There’s another young lady who is equally as talented who deserves somebody like you to do a reaction her name is Diana Ankudinova. Please react to her performing, I can’t help falling in love with you. I guarantee you you have never heard a voice like this and you never will again. She has an extremely rare voice type called dramatic contralto. Look forward to you reacting to Diana Ankudinova
