LOVE THE ATTITUDE! ANGELINA JORDAN | IF I WERE A BOY

[@douglasdennett4583]

Hello Maria... We Thank UUU.!!! This viewer loves your comments about Ms. Angelina Jordan.!!! Please share more of Ms. AJ When Ready... DD.

[@wishuponastar4928]

Thanks for reacting to Angelina. Toby Gad co-wrote "If I Were a Boy", along with BC Jean. BC Jean originally sang it, but it went big when Beyonce sang it. Toby Gad is ranked as one of the top song writers in the U.S., and him and Angelina are working on some songs now, according to Toby. There is one new song out there that hasnt been officially released, but many reactors have started reacting to a video of it by James Thiel, who got permission to post it. It's a really great song and the video is excellent quality.

[@annc9660]

Toby is great on piano and GREAT for Angelina, a multi grammy winner for composing and writing music......

Bad Valentine The collaboration between Angelina Jordan and Toby Gad on the song "Bad Valentine" marks a significant milestone in both artists' careers. Their performance at the Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles was not just a display of Jordan's mesmerizing vocal prowess, but also a testament to AJ's, and Gad's exceptional songwriting skills. The audience at the intimate venue witnessed a captivating blend of Jordan's soulful tones and Gad's melodic craftsmanship. This partnership has undoubtedly set a new bar for musical innovation and emotional expression in the industry. The song's live rendition, which can be found online, and edited by James Thiel, showcases the young artist's versatility as a song writer and Gad's ability to create a soundscape that perfectly complements Jordan's unique voice.

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. This is no longer a Beyonce song; it now belongs to AJ who can take any song and give it meaning.

[@CarlD70]

Actually a RC Jean song, co-writer of this song with Toby Gad......she sang it first...Beyonce did a cover which was good, not even on this level though.

[@johnroache32]

It never was a Beyoncé song. And as Toby Gad said Angelina version is better that’s why he and Angelina have been creating originals, for three months!😇🌸

[@deniseoneil5476]

Love your reactions to Angelina. So glad you got to this song. Toby Gad is the cowriter and he asked Angelina to reimagine the song with him. The two of them are working on other material together. They performed their original Bad Valentine. Hope you react to it soon. James Thiel has it on his channel with permission

[@wllie_archangel]

Let’s just say it. A song means nothing until Angelina sprinkles her angel dust on it. She touches my heart when she sings. I’m 64. I have heard the best. She is the crown on top. No other artists have ever actually touched me, and she does it every time.

[@MarkHughson]

This cover is glorious, it lets her voice absolutely shine. Thanks to Toby for asking AJ 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.” They are also working on other songs for AJ. This will be huge for her. After 16 years of practice Angelina is all grown up and has now arrived. Please subscribe to AJ's channel - she deserves it. And don't forget Toby Gad as well.

[@aryachow]

Yes Angelina has a stunning voice and she is equally stunningly beautiful. This is a Toby Gad and BC Jean song ,they co wrote it for BC Jean. So this not a Beyonce song. She covered it. Now Toby Gad , one of the cowriters seeked out Angelina and collaborated and reinvented this song. They also co wrote a new original Bad Valentine that is scorchingly good.❤❤❤❤👣

[@JaapFilius]

At the piano is Toby Gad, a German/Danish songwriter-composer, living in the USA. He wrote this song together with BC Jean, back in 2008, who was also the first singer who performed is. Beyoncé was (still in 2008) the second and she made it the famous song we know. And here we have Angelina who is giving this song a different vibe. I think Angelina's gift to "tell the story", when she sings, is making us react the way we do (I have it in a similar way when Lucy Thomas performs a song). I do like this version better than the pop-version, but that's a matter of taste. Toby Gad and Angelina are working on new songs for Angelina right now, the first of which is "Bad Valentine". There is already a good quality informal video of it on KZbin. For me it is clear: Angelina is starting her career as an adult musician now. And what a start it is....

[@dojoswitzer]

To me, the version made popular years ago sounds of desperation; this sounds like an anthem, telling guys, here is how you need to be.🔥

[@kyleFincher]

❤❤❤Love Angelina❤❤❤

[@andyschnell58]

Maria, this performance, like all from Angelina, gets better with each listen. I was tearing up this time. Angelina has been working with Toby Gad, who co-wrote this song, and they have told us, new originals are on the way. We have heard one new original, "Bad Valentine". Please go to James Thiel channel as he got permission from Toby to post a video of "Bad Valentine". James also has the best quality videos from Angelina's two shows in Vegas. Angelina has a song in the upcoming Netflix movie, "A Family Affair", premiering on June 28th.

[@harrycodd8309]

Sorry pressed wrong button 😮

[@hans-georgschroter7887]

I think she found the right songwriter and producer for her vision now. Their new work together Bad Valentine will release in a few months. A first life teaser is out and James Thiel got the permission from Toby to make it public 💖 you will be surprise of her emotional power

[@pjg58x]

I don’t think Angelina was looking for a songwriter. I think she wants to write her songs and has been writing since she was 10. Now someone like Toby can help her with some of her songs but i don’t think she wants someone to write songs for her. As far as a producer goes, she may still work with other producers. Most artists do. It may depend on the type of song she is recording. Her career development will still come down to promotion and getting heard. No matter how good a song is and who produces it, it still comes down to being heard by the general public. That’s easier said than done.

[@HusemR]

Every time she brings tears in my eyes cause her singing is so beautiful. Her voice touches my heart and cleanses my soul.

[@cm0355]

Thanks so much for the reaction to our angel Angelina..she is simply the best…👍👏

[@BigAngieFan808]

Speaking of attitude, sass, and power, you have to check out her ridiculously great new original song “Bad Valentine.” Co-written by the same Toby Gad who co-wrote this one. He has been working with her for a while now on new material, and they previewed this in a small venue in Los Angeles last month. Similar instrumental setup as this one, and a mind blowing vocal by AJ. Be sure to react to the version with good audio straight from the mixing board, on James Thiel’s channel.

[@larsfrodelarsen5757]

The Angel of Song appearing !!!

[@poolhallshark]

Amazing reaction, Maria! Nice to see you reacting to Angelina again. Go to James Thiel's channel and react to her and Toby Gad's original called "Bad Valentine" as well. You have NEVER heard Angelina like that. Never. That one may be THE song that once and for all places her on top of the musical map where she belongs. Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

[@thomashoffmann5516]

I think you don't know it. Angelina gave me an Autograhe on my T-Shirt in Kurbadhagen. And I can Look at this every day, to regognise "IT IS throu" Love from Frankfurt to Norge. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@poolhallshark]

@@thomashoffmann5516 That is SO awesome! What a nice memory ♥♥♥

[@lannieharris7774]

The song I would if I were a boy was written by Macy Jean and Toby gad in about 2008 and BC Jean singing first and then Beyonce as Toby if she could sing it and she did and made a big hit out of it but today's version is Angelina's version of reimagined

[@eTraxx]

A cover only in the sense that what Beyoncé made was a cover of the song written by BC Jean and Toby Gad, originally performed by Jean in 2008. Beyoncé's cover was that same year. In this video the pianist is Toby Gad .. the Piano Diaries are a celebration of his hit songs. He invited Angelina to England with him to perform .. this is the sixth version I have heard. I am not sure if it is really a cover when a singer is standing next to the composer as they jam to create a different version of the song. Wikipedia: Tobias "Toby" Gad (born 28 March 1968) 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. In the third quarter of 2014, Gad was ranked the #3 songwriter in America by Billboard, behind Ryan Tedder and Pharrell Williams.

[@pjg58x]

True reagardjng “cover”. A cover is a new recording of a song by someone other than the original artist or songwriter. Beyoncé had a big hit with the song but she is technically not the original artist and is not one of the songwriters. Of note, even though Angelina’s version of Suspicious Minds says Elvis Presley Cover on the thumbnail, it’s not a cover of Elvis . The original artist and songwriter was Mark James. Elvis’s version was a cover.

[@robertsilva631]

Angelina and Toby Gad also performed this song live at the London Palladium on May 20, 2024: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iX27aKZ_j99kpbc

[@marvinboswell6889]

She just got style and soul

[@Sweetpea4575]

Spot on. Whiny is exactly the word I would use to describe Beyoncé‘s version. Yes Angelina uses soul and sass here like, dude I gave you a chance, you blew it, not getting a second one-listen and learn to be a better man. That acappella “but you’re just a boy“ huff says it all.

[@keithserafy]

Exactly Sweetpea, beautifully stated!

[@CarlD70]

We all know Beyonce is a wonderful singer...a singer, many many of them. Here is a masterclass vocalist....a huge difference in the world of music.

[@darrellspurr6030]

Just of note bad valentine was a demo at one of Tony Gad's workshops hence why she is wearing shoes. People comment on it but it wasn't a planned performance but definitely worth watching.

[@rw716]

Nice reaction! 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. The man that she was in love with had just broken up with her. Per Toby, he 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. Toby okayed the release of an unreleased song with Angelina called Bad Valentine and it is a BANGER! kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4XNq5uGiLuaq8U 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. There is actually an official music video for If I Were A Boy on her official KZbin Channel. The music is a bit different, more commercial and pop sounding, but still great. You should see it to hear the difference! kzbin.info/www/bejne/laOtXnuiqLmmr68 Who 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.

[@sonnythorelli-hw7rj]

I think you are right about the “Attitude” observation. I think we seen that lately from Angelina, like “I’m the fool”, with her left hand flapping ‘dismiss’. Angelina is definitely maturing.

Sorry Maria, not a Beyonce song. Written by Toby Gad (on piano) and BC Jean. BC Jean sang it first and Beyonce did a cover of it...This is the next level by a master vocalist. Beyonce a wonderful "singer", much respect to her but we are in another league now....MHO. Thanks for coming back to the next Mega Superstar Angelina...been a minute.

Toby Gad is a multi Grammy award winning songwriter and producer. He has worked with many of the biggest superstars in the music industry producing award-winning hits. He has recently produced an album of his top songs called Piano Diaries. He invited Angelina to perform If I Were a Boy with him at piano. This song was originally made famous by Beyoncé in 2008, and has received over 600 million views. Most believe Angelina's version is much more intimate and emotional, and she has made it hers. Move over Beyoncé! It is more of a reimagining than a cover. Toby and Angelina also have been working on some original music, the first of which is a pre-release. Bad Valentine is a jazzy, soulful, and powerful song that is perfectly suited for Angelina's voice. I think it has great potential to be a hit! Toby Gad is very influential in the industry and this undoubtedly is a huge break for Angelina.

[@joyceuglow1767]

Tastes different

[@jeffthebeeguy]

Others have thought the same way as your comparison of how the two versions sound. If you want attitude, you must listen to the new original "Bad Valentine". Never heard her play the "Bad Lady" before--and she "means it". kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4XNq5uGiLuaq8U

[@clydeatrowbridge]

another reactor used the same term 4 beyonce's WHINY compared to angelina.more attitude ...toby said b c jeans version was rock and beyonce's was rhythm and blues and he loves beyonce and thinks shes great but he likes angelina's BEST...said her version is TIMELESS...

[@jeffjeff-j6t]

Heads up Maria ? This is not "That Beyonce' song". This is a Toby Gad, B.C. Jean song they wrote and Beyonce' Begged to cover. Toby asked Angelina to sing it for his piano diraries series, He didnt ask Beyonce', Cuz Angelina's version is much better. FYI.
