Angelina Jordan - I Have Nothing (Jonathan Sugarfoot Moffett) | Reaction

[@andyschnell58]

Who would attempt to sing a Whitney Houston song, while sitting and cross-legged while next to a legend like Sugarfoot Moffett? Angelina is still unknown to the vast majority of people because her wise and loving family, requested, when they signed her to Republic Records, to allow her as normal a childhood as possible. Republic has yet to fully promote Angelina and why rush a once in a hundred year vocalist? Very smart to allow her to meet so many in the music industry, like Sugarfoot, while not having any pressure of being the superstar she was born to become. Angelina has said she has written more than 100 songs and we have been blessed with 12 to date. She has hundreds of videos, scattered all over KZbin. Search on KZbin for "Angelina Jordan every song" for a playlist of more than 200 songs. Many songs she has multiple performances for.

Exactamente una cada siglo, republic récord es consciente de eso, tiene a la mejor vocalista que ha pisado está tierra

[@carolbecker9282]

My point, exactly

[@dojoswitzer]

Jonathan Moffett gave Angelina his highest praise in a separate video, saying that the best vocalists will be scared of her, that they will try but no one will be able to match her.

[@hans-georgschroter7887]

She sang also her special Billy Jean Jazz version for him and he was very impressed 😁

[@rickpallas2001]

Imagine sitting 3 feet from her as she delivers this song. Or, any song for that matter!

[@quinjesuis9187]

Everytime I hear Angelina Jordan sing; it's like iam hearing her sing for the first time; even though I listen to hear each day, I smile brightly, now that she is 18, she sounds absolutely beyond fabulous and is just keeps getting better and better as she masters her craft, I love her Soulful-Jazz style, it's soothing to the heart, iam so overly glad with joy that I found her and get to hear her beyond beautiful voice of healing, she brang sunshine to my heart, iam eternally grateful and a forever fan no matter what, Angelina Jordan is absolutely beyond the best, what a beyond wonderful gifted gift she is 💝💙🫂♾️

[@georgemobley5913]

That was absolutely a beautiful rendition of a great song. Amazing. Thanks for the cool videos sir and take care.

[@RichardBourne]

The esteem that the industry has for Ms. Jordan is well recorded. All the labels chased after her, after her performance on AGT, in 2014, including Disney. They were all politely thanked for their interest and sent packing to their private jets. It was her uncle, Mr. Micheal Astar, that found a good fit with Republic Records, negotiating, an almost unbelievably favorable contract, giving Ms. Jordan complete artistic freedom. Let us enter the prophetic realm and state some facts, at eighteen, Ms. Jordan is at least seven years from full vocal maturity, for female vocalists. Ms. Jordan as an established masterclass artist, has demonstrated her passion and dedication to her craft, continuing to experiment with tone and technique. This is the prophesy, with Ms. Jordan's creativity in both lyricism and musicality will come to dominate world music in the coming years. I feel privileged to witness the rise of Ms. Jordan to the halls of all the great musical legends. Rb

Angelina Jordan 18 years old Recognized and admired by world-class musicians, composers and singers (many, many Grammys and Oscars) among them; Alan Walker, Chuck Berghofer, Gregg Field,Jon levine, RED ONE, Dana Farber, Rachel platten, Maize, Shelly Berg, Jimmy Z Zavala, Diane Warren, Rob Christie, Daivid Foster, Laydy Gaga, Gene Simmons, Brian May and Roger Taylor, Quincy Jones, Norah Jones, Mark Ronson, Jonathan Moffet, Nico Cartosio, etc. ...all of those mentioned without exception consider her the best vocalist they have worked with and others the best vocalist of all time. Republic Record Universal Music, the largest record label, gave her an exclusive studio just for her in Los Angeles California.

[@tomrogers1305]

Republic and especially Rob Christy, director of Republic's LA studios, have vast connections with artists of all eras. They are eager for musicians to meet her and she appreciates singing for and with them. Take a look at her recent Christmas album and the legendary jazz/swing musicians who constituted her band. Likely a once in forever ensemble.

[@rogerwolstenholme2710]

All you needed to tell me, was played for SARAH VAUGHN!!!! Roger/Respect. I'll from time to time throw out the list of artists/writers who worked on the Old Enough EP but not with that much detail... again, respect.

[@MICHAELASHER.]

@@rogerwolstenholme2710 Thanks to both of you. You know when they had that discussion around Angelina at her Christmas Concert, she seemed extra shy, now knowing who these guys were, ( did already know who Jimmy was) it's understandable. When he hit the baseline on " These Boots", Angie let out a ":Oh my God".

[@stormycat0905]

Angelina Jordan is a once every other generation talent.

AJ just being casual sitting on a stage with elastic legs while killing a WH song….no big deal

[@gertwestblad9052]

I always feel so proud of her as if she was my own family..😅😊

Let's just notice Angelina's Mastery of microphone distance when she hits the louder more powerful notes. Imagine what it must be like sitting right next to her

[@Nevelepride]

Absolutely so stunning! 👌💫💎❤️

[@lightbearer7552]

"Moth's to a Flame" , drawn to the magic and love that pours out of her not just when she sings , she has a beautiful soul and a beautiful energy about her , doors open for her she has a mission of love and kindness to share and legions of Angel's that support and love her dearly with her every step holding her in our love ," Moths to a Flame"💗👣

[@corky6481]

Actually your first listen to Angelina was of "I'd Rather Go Blind," "You guys set me up!" I've enjoyed all of your many reactions to this amazing artist.

[@corky6481]

@stevenceo Towards the end of his intro, "This is the first time I am encountering this artist..." kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZXEimuji5uFnrs

[@alexanderholthoer8972]

She is SITTING !!? Infinite lungs&perfect voice control. Great reaction :) !

[@MICHAELASHER.]

This gives me an excuse to drink coffee late at night. Damn she never fails to stun. Sugarfoot knows.

[@patrickchauharjasingh7164]

Only Angelina Jordan can: 1. Dare to sing live for an absolute musical legend who is sitting right next to her, who would instantly pick up every nuance (and incidentally, every flaw). 2. Do so with not only a Whitney Houston song (in itself a massive challenge), but one of Whitney's biggest and most difficult songs. 3. Do this with no apparent studio enhancements whatsoever. 4. Maintain such perfect control of her entire instrument, from her diaphragm through her chest and overall breath control, her vocal chords, larynx, palate etc., her chest and her head voice, and the transition between them, her vibrato, her perfect pitch, etc., all while sitting cross-legged on a soft bed? (How in the name of heaven is this even possible??) 5. Do this with no apparent rehearsal (I can't confirm this, but that is what it looks like). 6. And finally, despite all of the above factors, every one of which would probably prove detrimental to almost any other artist on the planet, still produce a stunning, mind-blowing, magnificent, flawless performance. Oh. Don't bother to answer. I already gave the answer at the beginning of the comment: Only Angelina Jordan.

[@larrypifer1103]

Doppler Shift^^ Angelina Jordan is more than a singer; she is a cosmic phenomenon. Her voice has the power to bewitch anyone who listens to her, and she is soaring through the galaxy at the speed of light. She leaves a trail of red light behind her, as if she is moving away from us, but we can still hear her enchanting melodies.

[@emk4a7]

Sie ist einfach die Beste 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@loucatozzi7656]

When she is performing for studio video or for audience she looks like a performer. It is great to see her in everyday attire. It's like someone just handed her a mic and asked her to sing on the spot.

[@dianedove1000]

I think this may be the best time she’s ever sung this song. Casual setting, she’s really relaxed, just superb! It was never said why she was singing for him. Was this some kind of audition?

[@poolhallshark]

Great reaction! Angelina was 16 here, and singing this powerhouse of a song to one of the absolute legends of the industry, SITTING DOWN....LOL Legs more or less in a lotus position OOOH SA The performance you were thinking about was her rendition of "I Put A Spell On You" when she was 9 years 2 months 🙂 Take care my friend! Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

[@clones365]

This particular performance always amazes me. Live, on the spot, sitting cross legged, singing to a legend, and it sounds so amazing!

[@angelastant6554]

That would have been “I put a spell on you”. She never ceases to amaze me!

[@Biomirth]

So cool that they got to sit down together Sugarfoot and Angelina and just you know, **casually** have a song (mwahahaha, hilarious!). I hope Angelina keeps meeting with and possibly performing with artists from yesteryear. I was just listening to House (Hugh Laurie) performing blues. There's a guy that could really enjoy a small set with AJ, not that he's a music legend or anything, but just the right sort of personality to share a stage.

[@mikeplott4817]

Great Reaction she sings Billie Jean for him also and he told her that Michael was looking down at her and said he was proud of her, I believe the first song from her that you reacted to was I Put A Spell On You Great Reaction 👍🙏👣

[@larrypifer1103]

This is a classic example of the FACT, that AJ does not need auto tune. AJ was warming up for a recording session that included Moffett, and the production will be released in the future at the right time. She also recorded a number of songs produced by RedOne, and those have not been released. This is the recording studio in LA, close to AJ's home, that Republic Records has dedicated to her exclusive use. AJ also was working with Diane Warren, who attended AJ's 17th Birthday party. Something big is in the works for AJ.

[@carolbecker9282]

She is sitting...why do we question her brilliance.

[@Paultricounty]

Mr Boyd it’s time to do some reactions to AJ’s last two concerts , Portsmouth and The recent westgate in Vegas. Elvis performed dozens of times there. In Portsmouth her rendition of unchained melody was breathtaking. And her Vegas rendition of my funny Valentine shows just how she brings the listener on an emotional slay ride. An astonishing gifted talent.

your first reaction was : i'd rather go blind.

[@dojoswitzer]

He was describing I Put A Spell On You.

[@peterhormell1511]

Yes indeed he was. That cover will go down in history as one of the best covers ever performed. It currently has over 11 million views and when Angelina becomes a household word, new fans will flock to her KZbin channel to find out more about her and will simply be blown away to find out that this eighteen year old has more than *TWO HUNDRED* songs in her oeuvre, both covers and originals. The number of views that “I Put a Spell On You” will receive is unimaginable.

[@kellykiewert5029]

@@dojoswitzer Yes, that is what he is describing. But I think he has forgotten that the very first time he saw her was the "I would rather go blind" video. Normally I would have no recollection, but I had waited a long time for him to react to her and when he introduced the song her age was listed in the title and he didnt know what the number represented until he saw her. And on her very first note, he was captivated. That reaction was remarkable because of how quick he realized the talent. It is still probably my favorite reaction video to her ever.

[@RaymondGrosser]

check out her demo song at the age of 10 for another artist called " I'm still holding out for you" Jazz like it should be sung

[@rickpallas2001]

I believe this may have taken place at the same time as AJ was invited to perform at Quincy Jones 85th birthday celebration. Certainly makes sense that Sugarfoot would have been invited as well. There is a clip of AJ privately singing to QJ. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJ6xo6KOlNVlmJo It is reported that QJ said that AJ's talent reminded him of Michael Jackson!

[@Tomas-Odebrant]

When she sang for Quincy she was 12 years old. With Sugarfoot i think she was 16 (maybe 17).

[@ouioui_lounge]

If Angelina Jordan sits singing "I Have Nothing" next to Ariana Grande(Republic Records), things will be very different. Most musicians Sugarfoot's age won't make enemy with record labels, they go along with big record labels particularly. Ariana can sing and work her young fans, that's what big record labels invest her for. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2PPooKhi5KLbKc

​@albertphilippi4371 great comment. ❤

[@peterhormell1511]

Interesting that you would mention that “Jacob.” I am old enough to have been an adult when this song first hit the charts with Whitney Houston singing it and it was SO overplayed that I got tired of it too. When I first heard Angelina sing it I was, one - impressed with her ability to sing such a difficult song, and two - pleasantly surprised that Angelina’s version was more palatable. I think it has to do with the texture and color of her voice combined with her incomparable ability to sing with such heartfelt emotion. Since hearing Angelina first cover it at the age of thirteen, I probably have listened to this song 50, maybe 75 times, usually to catch the expression on the face of a new reactor discovering Angelina. Angelina certainly loves this song. She has many versions of it (I can thinks of eight different versions off the top of my head). My all time favorite version of it was the time when Angelina added a significant layer of meaning to it (I believe Angelina often infuses her own analogous meaning to songs that she covers). The version I am referring to was the absolute last song that Angelina sung to end her summer of 2022 “tour” in Norway before returning home to Los Angeles. That performance was extra special because she dedicated “I Have Nothing” to her Grandmother Mery Zamani. The profound emotion of that song was palpable. ❤️❤️❤️👣
