A California medic soldier who was stationed in Iraq, told me about the time she and her companions heard this song for the first time. In her words “Although I heard the original hundreds of times, this one pierced my heart like a bullet. There were no dry eyes in the room” Mission accomplished Angelina. Thank you for your honest reaction and keep up the good work.

[@cm0355]

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

[@rogercarriere4756]

She made a completely new song while respecting the original.

[@larsfrodelarsen5757]

Suddenly the magic in her voice hits you !!!

[@keithserafy]

Lucie, this is 12 yo Angelina & guitarist Ivan Mendez creating this impromptu, unrehearsed, one take masterpiece performance. She is making up the arrangement as she goes & Ivan is just following whatever she does. He's hearing this for the 1st time & has said the hardest thing about playing for Angelina is maintaining his concentration as he just gets lost in her singing. The co-writer of the song, Michelle Phillips, who is the last surviving member of the Mommas & Pappas, was totally blown away by this performance. She tagged it on their official website, which is total respect from the creator of the song.

[@beachbumseaglass]

Completely angelic. Just stunning. 🤯

[@robertbiron]

Angelina is so incredibly good; I can't even describe what she does to me inside when I hear her sing like this, I feel like I could lift off my chair and float in the room. love to see that you are feeling it too. She is only 12 here and sounds like that.... Wow!, and let's not forget how great the guitar sounds here by Ivan Mendez. ❤❤❤🌹🎶👣😇🇨🇦

[@stevenhambek846]

One take impromptu nearly flawless every time. Angelina lives and breathes music.

[@fidenemini111]

And as she was used, she dives out from the song at the end and turns into a child again. I miss these moments as every parent misses them about their grown up children. She grew up so fast.

[@roddiener1235]

Sooner or later, you run out of words and just say: Thank you Angelina, never stop singing.

[@omunozl]

amen!

[@Kevin_Lyon]

Great reaction Lucie!! Angelina is unexplainably unique and Talented as Talent show judges have said in the past I'm at a loss for words!!

[@marvinboswell6889]

She's just playing around at home one evening

[@brianreilly8661]

This is such a beautiful tone nectar to my ears this is why I rate her the best on the planet nobody has her amazing tone lovely reaction ❤

[@geoffreynorth9046]

I loved your expression "that duality of her..." - indeed.... toggling between musical and vocal genius and charming, giggly girl / young woman... :)

[@EA-yd9vw]

There's the voice, of course, but there's also the fact that a 12-year-old pre-teen wearing a Donald Duck smock and laughing at the end of the video about the great trick she's just played for us, completely reinvents a 70s hit in her own way. Amazing and wonderful child musician !

[@victorariasarrue]

Hi Lucie, siempre Angelina, en todas sus presentaciones, será impresionante. Ella tiene toda la pasión, todos los sentimientos que hacen que tu alma vibre. Deberias ver I'd Rather Go Blind, ella canta sentada en un sofá , así, como si nada.... Que tengas un hermoso día...

[@hans-georgschroter7887]

A great new version of this famous Song. She's singing about the feeling of the dreamer, the cold winterday and not about the dream 💕 the sky is Grey 🩶 in the winter ☃️ Day

[@johnroache32]

Thank you for this. If you knew anything about Mama Cass Elliot…oh my gosh, what a duo Angelina and her would have produced. 😇🌸

[@livingLge]

So amazing! Soothes the soul!

[@Pete00000]

Love the Ivan Mendez sessions! 12 years old and absolutely amazing!

[@mldkenny]

One of my favourites, I just love how she changes it from the original, so genius! Great choice and reaction.

[@albertphilippi4371]

Ivan Mendez was Angelina's (12y) guitarist in LA in 2018. In an interview with Alan Papier on his KZbin channel, Ivan told the story of how the cover came about. In a nutshell ( I mean in summary, I can't give an interview of almost 40 minutes in two sentences, please listen to Ivan Mendez yourself. ) "Angelina doesn't have a wish list of songs, she decides spontaneously if she likes a song. After hearing this song she says great song and has downloaded the lyrics. Then Ivan played the melody and Angelina says" good but slower, slower , even slower. OK, well, let's start ". Then the cover was recorded in one take, Angelina sang the song here for the first time after her arrangement without rehearsing beforehand.👣 💯 *AJ* 💯👣

[@johnvasi]

This has always been a favorite song of mine. The unique sound of the 1960’s Mamas and the Papas was immediately recognizable. Here, Angelina does what she does better than any singer I’ve ever heard. She re-imagines the song, and the lyrics hit us completely differently than the original. And it’s done with a beautiful voice, respecting the original, but making it completely Angelina. I could listen to this everyday.

[@ysteindrge8394]

Awesome vocal and great feeling and soul❤

[@shodanrich3317]

Hi Lucy. I grew up listening to this song. Never would it enter my mind that a child could rearrange it so beautifully. Thanks again for sharing your AJ journey with us. Love you ❤

[@jwichman9]

She transformed this one!

[@royjohansen7472]

❤️ your reaction LucieV, 👍🥰 from one of Angelina’s Angels

[@vegaslmr7334]

Anytime she’s singing with Ivan Mendez, she’s only 12. What’s amazing is that from 6 on, at least with the videos that her team has uploaded, she had that part of her voice that had that rasp and deepness, to her incredible 10's, where her voice was as good as any other professional artist, and even to the point where she was able to really control the deepness from the age of 11 to 12, and then fully on from 13 on.❤

[@philgaringer9065]

12 years old here. Great reaction. Angelina's voice is soothing to the soul, no matter what age it is.

[@PhilipKnopp]

Another classic reimagined by Angelina...in my opinion, this is its own classic! LIsten to it over and over! Thanks for your reaction...

[@TrenchTrash01]

A 12 year old in her Donald Duck shirt singing like that does not compute, but we love it

[@larrypifer1103]

Others make an effort but fall short of the original performance. Angelina Jordan's unique interpretations of classic songs have indeed captivated audiences worldwide. Her soulful renditions go beyond mere covers; they are reimagining's that bring a new depth to the original compositions. With her distinct voice and emotive performances, she leaves an indelible mark on every piece she touches. Whether it's her haunting version of "Bohemian Rhapsody" on America's Got Talent that earned her the golden buzzer or her heartfelt tribute to Whitney Houston with "I Have Nothing," Angelina's covers are transformative experiences that resonate with listeners long after the last note has faded. Her ability to connect with the essence of these songs and convey their stories in her own style is what sets her apart, making each performance uniquely her own. Others make an effort but fall short of the original performance.

[@dsgp7835]

All that soul wearing a Donald Duck sweater. I've watched this hundreds of times and it always puts a lump in my throat.

[@quantockbeech]

It's been 5 years since I first heard this and Angelina's incredible arrangement, tone and timing, and the picture she paints with the lyrics has just brought me chills once again. There's very, very few singers of any age have the ability to do this.

[@Daniel-nq8ty]

Twelve here I believe Lucie. The rule of thumb is if you see Ivan, Angelina is twelve. Amazing! A relaxed carpet ride into Angelina's world. She "feels" everything she covers in such a unique way, a true prodigy. I recommend at least a daily dose of her voice for good health, an elixir for the soul! Have a great day Lucie!

[@rayarama1668]

Please react to her singing what a difference a day makes you'll be amazed.......

[@zeuso.1947]

Angelina telling a story like only she can.

[@stevenhambek846]

Whenever Angelina sings with Ivan Mendez she is 12 years old. Soon after family moved to LA.😊

[@clmenterprises08]

Correction, when Ivan Mendez is with Angelina they are in Los Angeles and when she is with Egil Klausin they are in Norway.

[@omidhope7456]

The Barefoot Angel chooses an iconic song and makes it her own with different feeling and meaning. what a gift! Thanks for reacting to this awesome performance by Angelina.

[@user-wf9py1es9z]

Love your reactions to AJ. You are right, "insanely good.-"

[@FlameCold258]

Thank you!

[@navrozelalkaka8457]

God's gift to Humankind

[@andyschnell58]

Angelina was 12 when Ivan Mendez played guitar for her. In a interview by Alan Papier, available on his channel, Ivan said Angelina was simply ask if he knew a song. If he did, then they would set up the video recorder and most songs were first takes. NO practice.

[@ClaudioMarcucci7756]

Wonderful reaction, Lucie. No many 12 year old girls can take a classic song from over 55 years ago, which was a light ballad, to turn it into a slow one and melancholy song that fills you with emotions. The musical intelligence with which she reworks the old songs (and not just those), is simply amazing and her ability to exploit only the accompaniment of the simple guitar sound is incredible, I really believe that only this little girl with Donald Ducks on her shirt can do it so easily and harmoniously. The simplicity and ease with which she deals with songs of this type, without preparing them and often recorded on the first or second run (as reported by her guitarists), is simply amazing even more for a 12/13 year old girl, not to mention her vocal range. I love her stripped versions of the classics songs she chooses.💛🧡❤

[@aryachow]

Yes Lucie, I have heard pretty much all her performances released on KZbin, tiktok etc. I have yet to hear anything that is not amazing. Doubt if I ever would.❤❤❤❤👣

[@SteveAckerman-ly3qg]

Mesmerized reaction: a great reflection of us when we listen to this! Irony and amazement - this song's lyrics have a lot of melancholy, which she conveys perfectly, somewhat unlike the original by the Mamas and the Papas. The ironic part - the lyrics sound like something that a person in, perhaps, Oslo Norway might sing on a gray winter day. But - she and her family had permanently moved to LA from Norway this very year, so she's California Dreamin....while in California 😮. She's 12 here, which you know whenever you see the talented young Mexican guitarist Ivan Mendez accompanying her. Stunning performance ... and then she immediately switches back to cheerful 12yo for the wave!

[@rdj4669]

SOULLLLLLLLLL

[@robertsilva631]

Angelina is 12 yrs old in the video you reacted to - when you see Angelina with guitarist Ivan Mendez, Angelina is always 12 years old.

[@johnroache32]

Thanks!

[@lucievreacts]

Thank you John! 😊

[@ewelina8b]

Lucie, thank you for wonderful reaction. 😊 Thank you for supporting Angelina. 😊😘

[@Pyanfar]

❤️❤️❤️❤️👣 Angelina is always 12 when playing with Ivan Mendez on guitar. Be sure to watch her version of Wicked Game.

[@kyleFincher]

❤❤❤Love Angelina❤❤❤

[@Mister.315]

Some of her words remind me of flower petals slowly drifting in air. Another original cover that she makes hers. And it's not like her version replaces Mama Cass'. It's a new song done this way.

[@TroyArchAngel]

Like when you eat toffee or caramel and you suck on it...😆 It's that tasty. Her voice is out of this world. Remember She's the vocalist with a 1000 voices...

[@d-a-e-xh2zo]

[@bockviken]

This the best interpretation ever. Better than the original. And with the Mexico born Ivan Mendez.

[@eTraxx]

Good morning Lucie (I can do that as first commenter .. it's in the rules!). Stopped when you did .. love the reaction .. great job as usual. I don't know why but watching this (100ths time) and dang it .. weird how my allergies always kick in. When you see her in a video with Ivan Mendez on guitar ... and that microphone which she got on her 12th birthday .. you can reliably say she is 12.

[@steno61blu]

👍❤👸👣

[@ericdavison5434]

Thank you Lucie.. "California Dreamin' " was written by John & Michelle Phillips in 1963 while living in New York City. The Mammas and Papas recorded it inLos Angeles after their move to Laurel Canyon (Hollywood) in 1964. Angelina recorded this in her LA home in 2018 the year that her family moved to LA from Oslo. Angelina's "arrangement" is more a spontaneous agreement between Angelina and Ivan Mendez (guitarist). They often sat discussing songs that Angelina liked, then played them as sometimes Ivan had never heard them. After their run through, they most often recorded the song in 1 take. Unfortunately they only played together for half of 2018. In this (2021) "Wrapped in a Warm Blanket" podcast interview, Alan Papier and Ivan discuss his time spent with Angelina, her family and their musical collaboration. (kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKa0qqdoiZiUr6csi=kGp3upz0Aa6UH2Z3)

[@user-gp8ln6jo3o]

She's 12 here Lucie, Ivan the guitar player was only with her for 12, At 13 he was gone . they are a good DUO I don't know what happened ?

[@giuseppeurna1986]

Ciao Lucie, qualsiasi cosa che canta e un fenomeno e la fa propria la canzone che canta.
