MUSIC HISTORIAN REACTS TO Angelina Jordan - At Last - Hemnes Båt & Fjord Reaction

[@michaelmoslak2975]

Don't forget that English is her 3rd language. She is absolutely AMAZING! Truly an old soul and an angel.

[@terrypuccio6671]

Angelina Jordan, Empress of Jazz & Queen of our hearts...

[@arr64lima63]

I can see her in some smoky jazz club just jamming all night.

[@PhilipKnopp]

The other version was a performance for charity, and although Angelina was under the weather, she was spectacular!

[@lukmankaryono7782]

yes!!!! absolutly right .

[@michinawi22able]

Absolutely!! She also performed I'LL BE THERE when she was very sick, but the feeling she puts into it is "AMAZINGLY AMAZING!! "(PinkLemon quote)

[@frankphillips5660]

@@michinawi22able I agree wholeheartedly Patricia. On I'll be there that little fist bump to get that note while sick melts my heart.

[@wenchenergaard6464]

Hi all of you . This Is from a Norwegian show where everybody can sing along, and PROFECIONALS film the public. Angelina was a guest artist among meny others. The thow was on TV once a week in the summer. So Please.....

[@DonaldLancon]

@@wenchenergaard6464 Are you referring to _Allsang på Grensen_ ? She was on that several times. But I don't see the connection to this discussion here… (?)

This is good but the other one is spectacular.

[@billweekley4077]

We are blessed to have Grandma filming Angelina at every opportunity. Without her we would never have seen her at many events. We would never have seen rehearsals, birthdays, strolling through department stores, record shops, amusement parks, school events and many more that will be used to create a history of the greatest artist who has lived in my time. 1942 till the present. Don’t be dissen Grandma 😊😊😉

[@bruceclark133]

O M G..so well put, good job....: )

[@kevingrady8736]

Please react to Angelina singing "What a difference a day makes." when she was 8.

[@josephstimpfl4594]

The charity event when she was under the weather is my favorite. Her look of disgust when she finishes that one shows how serious she is. She could not hit her normal notes. But that hoarseness really made it magic.

[@lesgray6183]

For me, when her health is not at it's best, she can't get the notes she wants, the emotion that she adds to the performance far outstrips the limitations. As an 8 year old her performances of "At Last" and "I'll be there" are outstanding, even though she had thought otherwise. How can such a young person be so professional, dedicated to achieving perfection?

[@jeffreyjameson5510]

@@lesgray6183 yeah I think we’ve both traded comments on I’ll be there before. But that performance is just so emotionally captivating. She really looks like she’s in pain. But the show must go on with Angie. Nobody emotes lyrics like Angelina. And that she dropped that song into a minor key and slowed it down just made it so moving

[@trhall7406]

She is an an absolute GODDESS WOW🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@vernonpang2805]

Because Angelina was under the weather, at the other charity version, it added a beautiful rich raspiness that made it her best rendition of this song, till this day.

[@lutobravodaniel2189]

Angelina Jordan is a genius that comes by Mars !!!!!

[@jasonmcclay4022]

The other version she was younger and in my opinion her what is even better I recommend the other version..:. So glad you’re covering Angelina thank you

[@karingehrke8520]

Its a mans world. Live with full band. Most amazing imho.

[@carolharris8020]

The other version was better. She was younger, did not know she was a little sick! In the other version she is singing live and you can hear her better. Seems to have been on a tv show with clouds etc. in the background. Please react to this one also.

[@andyschnell58]

Just a 9 year old girl giving a jazz concert. Angelina gives a wonderful version of this classic song. A few months before this, Angelina sang At Last at a charity event not too long after catching a cold while performing at the Nobel Peace Prize concert. Somehow Angelina turns her congestion to her advantage and gives a great performance and it is worth reacting to......as is any performance by our barefoot princess.

[@grizeldiaz9558]

Just 9 years old here!..thanks for your incredible reactions to our angel! 🇳🇴

[@johnbattles1002]

This is utterly fantastic. However, in my opinion, the other version is even better, in spite of the fact she wasn't feeling well. By her voice and stage presence in the other video, you would NEVER know she was under the weather! Just an amazing, wonderful young lady!

[@rayarama3382]

Reactions to I’m still holding onto you

[@bettyhayes270]

Soo talented, other one she killed also even though she was sick at the time!

[@hdctx]

I hate the roaming camera, but without grandma shooting all these videos we wouldn't have such a well documented history of Angelina's growing talent.

[@bockviken]

I think granma or mam (?) wanted to show the very young audiance listening to.jazz.

[@Viseur]

@@bockviken I guess she saw a sweet little child in the crowd and couldn't resist filming it.

[@nyima04011]

There are very few 'professionally filmed' concerts from her childhood...We have to relax our eyes and listen more closely.

[@peterhormell1511]

By the end, I was thinking that “Grandma” or “Mom” or whoever was filming, may have recognized a friend in the audience and was returning to them to catch their reaction. In any event, it’s occasionally annoying to watch, but this video is better than not having a recording of this event at all. All of us just can’t get too much of Angelina’s beautiful voice.

[@jeffreyjameson5510]

I’m fairly certain grandma Mery and I attended the same school for videoing events.

[@peterroth2717]

Mr. LBoyd, I enjoy your reactions to Angelina Jordan. She is "amazing and superb and mind blowing" in the versatility of her talented and incredible voice. She is one of two exceptional talents that I am following and I have never been disappointed by any of her peformances.

[@johnvasi]

You’ll see that there are a bunch of Angelina videos that were filmed with a hand held camera, so the sound and visuals are not the best. But we’re fortunate nonetheless that someone recorded them. There is a video of a great jazz band with trombone backing Angelina on Cry Me a River. You know right away that she’s the real thing-a true jazz singer giving us a version that she’s feeling that day. I never thought anyone could touch Julie London’s classic version, but Angelina gives us sophisticated bluesy jazz so casually and effortlessly, and it’s stunning. KZbin won’t let me send you a link, but it’s the version dated 21.07.2017. Angelina at 12 years old, sounding like 45.

[@leechap3]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIebeXyMgZeJeqc great suggestion, one of her most underappreciated performances IMO, and that trombone!

[@itschmitt]

...and I love the "Cry Me A River"-version of the rehearsal sooo much - it's so funny ;-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJvFhIeIpNOke7c

[@frankphillips5660]

@@leechap3 Thanks for giving the link. YT won't let me send links either. It's a great performance

[@SagebrushRambles]

I think it's her grandmother recording and she gets better at the cinematography as Angelina gets older.

[@lesgray6183]

Yes Grandma drives us all a little crazy with her camera technique, I'm afraid it did not get much better over the years - but without it the story of Angelina would not be complete Please Mery, keep up the good work!

[@conniepayton-nevels2685]

You’re very busy reacting to Angelina Jordan, I love that as I do your reactions to Her, keep it up 👍🏻

[@MusicLover-uy7pc]

I really love your reactions. They are excellent and profound. Thank you for that. Because you love the Jazz so much, please react to Bang Bang and Summertime from her . She presented both songs in Norway got Talent. They are really worth to be listened and reacted to. I would be really thankful

I think this is the one where after the concert ends Angelina crawls out to the edge of the stage on her tummy and gives her flowery crown to a girl in the front row.

I think, there are a bunch of Angeliś s classmates in the audiencce, why she is waving so often.... And grandma did this camera turn.

[@geniej9093]

AJ seems to have the presence to play with us as she sings this timeless song.

[@frankphillips5660]

The video of her performance at a younger age while sick is my favorite!! Would love to see your reaction to it. There is also a rehearsal video which I just discovered this morning when she was 10 or 11 with a full wind ensemble that is spectacular!!

[@nyima04011]

Great, thanks! Everybody complaining about which version - phooey! We've all see the other one countless times & it has it's virtues. Enough! SO glad you found a new one, which is REALLY interesting in many ways.

[@ClifftheBigRedDoggy]

Play the other one too. It might have been fun to do both together. Some like that her voice cracks a bit and how determined it shows she is. She commited to performing for the charity on life TV.. band is booked, the seats are full.. que the band and start the cameras.

[@Kagawongdog1]

Her cover of Somethings got a hold on me ....at an outdoor event is great. Next please.

[@davidarmstrong1219]

This performance is so often overlooked and I don't know why. Angelina is the most animated I have seen her and just plain looks like she is having the time of her life.

[@Lorna8264]

She is the reincarnation of a whole lot of ol black singers

[@angelahandley416]

She does better for a lot of songs you are reacting to, when she was younger but you keep missing them. You got to see her at 7 yrs old it’s phenomenal

[@suzz1776]

How the hell does she sing this way at such a young age. I don't get it. A real prodigy

[@lengould9262]

I love the video of the rehearsal for this performance (I think, same band anyway). At the start, she steps to the mic while the pianist plays 1 1/2 bars intro, she interrupts "I guess we're doing the Eta version?". Band members chuckle, "How do you know that?" one asks. "That was the Eta timing" she replies. Band seems amazed. Do "Every Time we say goodbye", acoustic, 10 yrs old, rooftop of TV station in Oslo.

[@maryglover4376]

I love the one she did at the charity event much better.

[@bygeorge100]

Listen to the other version too. I'd like to see what you think of it (for what it's worth I like it better, even though she was not completely healthy for that one. And yeah, Grandma Mery was probably the videographer. I'm so glad she captured so many "Angelina moments" like this, but she zooms in and out a LOT, and too often seems to get distracted from the "talent."

[@accskaguy]

I'm happy you persevered through this video despite the spaziness of the camera guy. It had to be COLD performing outside that day, and that is some of what shows. She really did pull off being the best Angelina she could be in that setting. :)

[@DBS6567]

If she's this good, filmed on someone's phone, damn

[@sedigives]

Moments of add lib she defaults to her natural instinct - JAZZ! From the Jazz Gods themselves!

Imagine this is recorded on a phone. Do the other one as well, even if she was sick, she did amazingly!

[@Viseur]

Thanks for another great Angelina Jordan reaction! And thanks for Grandma Mary for filming all these early concerts!

[@arceliedunn2022]

I'd like you to hear and witness what she does with that vibrato of hers in her acoustic cover of ' Stay' by Rhianna. She was 12 yrs old at that time.

[@eddiebowes6137]

The other version was at a fundraiser. Her throat was hoarse from a cold but she refused to back out of the performance, shows her commitment and professionalism even at a young age. You can tell she wasn't at her best but it was still a brilliant performance, she some how managed to use her hoarseness as an added effect. You can tell by her face at the end of the song that she wasn't happy with her performance, being a perfectionist. There're are some other performances out there where she was ill and didn't sound great, i think one of them is 'I'll be there', a Micheal Jackson song, also performed at an event, possibly the same one as 'At last'. Just bare it in mind if you hear something from AJ that sounds "off", she may have been ill at the time. A certain other reactor didn't even question it when hearing one such performance, didn't even ask for comments to try to get more info, just proceeded to put her down because she wasn't as good as she normally is. I don't watch her reactions anymore. Anyway, i've rambled on enough, love your reactions to AJ and looking forward to more.

[@DavidBrianPaley]

It's the little "imperfections" in the other performance when she was a little "under the weather" that makes that one my favorite (even though this one is the "better" vocal performance).

[@marcribe6483]

Unless I'm mistaken, the zoom into the public was to show Angelina's mother and baby sister.

[@LuisGarcia-ry5yk]

She made this version when she was 9 years old, and she has several more, including a rehearsal to sing in a soceer stadium. There is a better version recorded a year before for a private event, (also with a crazy camera, surely a family member). The version in which she had a little cold (8 years old), is highly recommended, although it was not as congested as when she interpreted 'I'll be there' by Michael, which I also recommend for the enormous emotion it transmits.

[@josephstimpfl4594]

If you go back to eight, What a difference a day makes, the Dinah Washington classic. Go forward a little to Shield live on Norwegian t.v. it is her third original song and one with good production value.

[@leechap3]

"What a difference a day makes" at age 8, exactly the one I was thinking I would like to see here kzbin.info/www/bejne/kITJmHZ_fMlqoZY

[@Karenmcg6180]

Play Gloomy Sunday her audition for Norway’s Got Talent- which she won when she was 7

[@alberttenfoot]

Thank you for another good reaction to Angelina. I agree with all those commenting that you should react to the earlier performance of this song. Fernando has given you the link, but I will reference it here, just in case something goes wrong. She sang at the Nobel Peace Prize performance in Norway in December winter, and got a nasty cold. As she had promised to sing at a concert for Local Heroes in Sweden a few days later she ignored advice not to sing because she was determined to honour her commitment. She gave an incredibly emotional performance;. age 8 - Charity Concert in Sweden- "I'll be there":kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHusqKmNmdSCadE and shortly afterwards, performed at the Charity concert where she sang: age 8 - Charity Concert: At last: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmKck4RvfpKHY8k I am certain you will enjoy reacting to both of these performances.

[@brgilbert2]

Wow!! This one is new to me. Don't recognize the band at all. Angelina must have been a little younger here than the other version.

[@brianhightower943]

Check out this when ou get a chance. Angelina sing Gloomy Sunday on NGT

[@yves2932]

In my opinion her slightly cracking voice in the performance where she was sick only added to the song. Consequently she even seems to have added it as an additional effect to her toolbag.

[@lydiabentley3413]

Another good song is what a difference a day makes live version age 8.

Great song and great reaction.

[@stephenpolicoff292]

I agree with most comments that the other version was better. That is the version I like to view.

[@ClaudioMarcucci7756]

It's very nice that you continue on your journey of discovery of Angelina, it's a bit like entering a wonderland, where one experience is never the same as another. This is a song that she interprets in a fantastic way, especially in the her first years of musical experiences, but has few public recordings and some of rehearsal of recordings, in this the quality isn't the best from the musical point , but it still represents a beautiful image of her first jazz concerts. I also believe that the 2015 recording is better, at least in terms of sound quality and professionalism of the shooting. She is so different from all the other current singers, listening to Angelina is very close to turning into a mystical experience, I like it more and more every time. 😊 ❤️

[@sandyleewhite]

Every time I hear Angelina sing, I picture her stepping out of an old black & white movie, to transport us back in time, so we can fall in love with these genuine masterpieces again ❤️ 💚 💙 💜 Great reaction !!!

[@dalemurray4083]

By the end of the song she figured out how to USE her hoarseness from the cold, or flu she had.

Please absolutely do the charity version of this song as well. Her imperfections make the performance perfect!

[@albertphilippi4371]

There were many friends, classmates and teachers from Angelina's school at the 2015 concert. (those are people in the scene when you ask why) Angelina was very happy and had a lot of fun with the great reaction of the audience. I really enjoy Angelina's performance at the same concert of "I Fell Good" in Rusty's video. ✌️😎✌️💯 *AJ* 💯👣

[@steinarthomassen3251]

I think Angelina,s grand mother who is filming that live consert

[@wajj1842]

Actually, there's pluses and minuses for both versions. This one is a bit pitchy, and the sound and video are from a phone, which is not the best quality. But it is Angelina, and therefore, always very good. Her restraint and phrasing are just beyond belief for a 9/10 year old. In the other one she is 9, and she is experiencing some respiratory illness, so there's some breaks and cracks in her voice, but it's still outstanding. She is performing for a charity function, and Angelina always shows up, well or sick. The overall quality of the video and audio is much better. And I actually like the performance better. Here' the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmKck4RvfpKHY8k So you can judge for yourself. Love your Angelina reactions MR. 💕💕

[@ooshta]

Hello MrLboyd, great reaction. I like this one for the reasons you mentioned, but I like the other one, for cause she was fighting a cold she did it a little different & even with her rare AP ability she will sometime do things imperfect (perfect in imperfections) so it sounds more organic & to get a feeling across. Angie's musicality & music intelligence have always been off the charts, Here's the links to the other one & remember Angie never sings a song the same way twice, you could say they’ll all be 1st time reactions. “At Last” cover by Etta James she’s 8 almost 9 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmKck4RvfpKHY8k it's live & she's getting over a cold. You could start from where it all began. “I who have nothing” by Ben E. King & covered by Tom Jones & Shirley Bassey. She’s 6 in a sound booth at her school. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJu0i354pbuUm9U “Gloomy Sunday” by Billie Holiday she was 7 here on NGT Audition kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmTKhJulbt6Zbpo

[@tommythompson264]

I greatly enjoy your professional and insightful reactions. Loving jazz as you do, you owe it to yourself to watch her performance of Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday" when she was 7. The link below includes English subtitles and the intro and comments by judges after her performance are interesting. It has been said that judge Omer is Michael Jackson's son. The blonde in tears off-stage is her mother Sarah. She explained her tears as coming because she realized that at that moment Angelina belonged not to her, but the rest of the world. Take a look on your own if not in a reaction. Thanks for the effort. TT kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmTKhJulbt6Zbpo

[@karolyn8644]

Tommy Thompson, no, Omer Bhatti is not Michael Jackson's son. His father is from Pakistan. He did live at Neverland, where his parents were employed, for some time as a child, & was like one of the family. Paris has referred to him as "brother" but he is not a blood relative. That myth really needs to be put to rest. Omer is a rapper & dancer, with videos on KZbin and Facebook, and one can really see Michael's influence on his dancing.

[@jaybbonne7528]

Angelina is at her best in my opinion when she covers black singers like Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Whitney Houston etc. This one is as good as it gets as far as her covers go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4XGp6mFa6dmf9E Recorded about 6 months before her AGT shock appearance with Bohemian Rhapsody - another masterpiece - at age 13. Whitney was 29 when she recorded the song.
