REACTING TO Angelina Jordan - Back to Black

[@dianedove1000]

She is age 10 here. Her mom objected to the lyrics, so on her way to this rehearsal, she rewrote the lyrics and that was why she had to look at her song sheets while singing. How great that she took something so dark an changed it to LOVE. This is one of my very favorite performances! I wish she would do it again now at age 16!

[@kurtisle]

Angelina is a chameleon. She's so remarkable in so many ways and does it unbelievably good at it.

[@jacquespicotte8493]

Angelina did the exact thing of changing the lyrics of Amy Whinehous's You Know I 'm No Good. In her version, it becomes the opposite: I'm So Good. That video, recorded in LA, shows her sister Juliette, uncle Michael, her manager, mama Sara and, behind the camera, grandma Mery. Unfortunately, there exists no published version of the new lyrics. Here, Angelina shows how good ears she possesses: she sounds alot like Amy without imitating or mimicking her. It is her way to salute respectfully and awesomely her kindred spirit by paying a sweet tribute to her idol in singing like her.

[@albertstern1945]

It's only a rehearsal and the band still claps for her at the end. That says it all.

[@RustyShacklefordChannel]

At just 10 years old here, Angelina is able to take this familiar song, and recreate it in her own unique way. She really respects the original, but makes it appropriate for her age. Angelina can capture some of the unique qualities in Amy's voice unlike anyone I have heard. You will hear it again with Valerie (or Rehab, or Our Day WIll Come). I don't know anything about the violinist except that he appeared to be in awe of the talent before him. I imagine any musician that has ever worked with Angelina has known that they were working with someone very special. There are many examples where you can just see it on their faces. I have a feeling that violinist will one day be telling his grandchildren about that time he played with Angelina Jordan.

[@kenscott8966]

When a bunch of advanced musicians applaud a 10 yr old singer at the end of a recording one begins to see another facet of her artistry and professionalism.

[@mrpeppery]

Hey Adam, thanks for another great reaction video. I think the story with the violinist is simply that he was watching her and in awe. He was seated relatively close to her with a clear line of sight and there were long stretches where he wasn’t performing so it was just kind of natural that he be singled out to show the respect that the performers had for Angelina. I don’t personally know of even a rumor that there is any connection between him and her or her family. I completely agree with you about how perfect this song is for Angelina. One of the things that strikes me about this performance is how melodic her it seems to be, despite the song, other than the chorus, being quite monotone. She is able to do so much with her voice that she makes you forget that, for long stretches, she’s singing a single note or maybe two notes at most.

[@ginajung6205]

Adam it kills me how she reads the words but never misses a beat lol....she's such a true natural performer....she can make her voice sound like any one she wants to...she suits this style as well...I believe she was 11 here...as usual your reaction is stellar!!!!

[@andyschnell58]

Angelina has become my all time favorite female vocalist. Her voice is genuine, unique and reaches into my soul. Unimaginable where she will take us in years to come.

[@brittag.pedersen5340]

[@yves2932]

The violin guy - I'm sure what you noticed is just his look of pure amazement and joy. In another video a different guy had the exact same look ;-)

[@56kof]

and he is one of Korks "camera faces"

[@lhh7100]

I don't think it's possible to live in Norway, and NOT know that she is very talented - or at least have heard about her. The musicians in KORK, i'm pretty sure they knew who she is. I think the reaction from the violinguy was just "yeah, i knew she is good....but this is just WOW". Guess many adult musicians in Norway would give their right arm to get the chance to play with KORK. I must have played this song like 5000 times now. Its genius, and specially that calm part with the stringinstruments....it can make me faint.

[@rogerknudtson9545]

Angelina has a great and unique voice. Very talented! I love the story of why she performs without shoes. Heartwarming!

[@elaineparisi8626]

Hi, I absolutely loved this cover I actually seen this video a few times, so much soul, jazzy, rich beautiful voice like you said l am glad the lyrics were changed, can you believe she wrote them in the car on her way to rehearsal unbelievable! Thank you for your great reaction!!!!❗💜

[@elaineparisi8626]

Hi, she is a world class singer she has such soul in her voice, she can sing a dictionary and make it sound good I loved it! Thank you for your great reaction!!❗💜

[@RobertDeMartin]

I watched the violinist at the beginning and my impression is he wondered, "How old is she?" And, "Oh! That tone! This should be interesting!" Another shot of a musician clearly moved by Angelina is the trumpet player in I Put A Spell On You unable to hide a smile during the recording. Adam, try to squeeze in Mr Lonely, a song made famous by Bobby Vinton. There are two versions. One just shows the album cover while she sings and the other shows her performing on stage in front of that Norwegian band which might suit your taste more. It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to listen to Bobby Vinton's version first. Adam, ALL of us are starting to grin with a happy smile because we know you are coming close to Bohemian Rhapsody. How in the world have you disciplined yourself to keep away from her MASTERPIECE all this time? Incredible.

[@haka9531]

And I think his name is Einar Kyvig Bauge. 😊

[@davidfoster9697]

The violinist was surprised by her like we all are!

10 years since Amy died today! Rest your beautiful talented soul in peace!

[@bruceclark133]

You are so right....great values, and oh so humble. She changed the words on the way to the recording....there is a video of that. : )

[@mrpeppery]

She literally rewrote the entire song except for the few words that Adam singled out. And she did it beautifully. But I don’t think she could’ve done that in the car on the way to the studio. But she most likely did finish them on short notice and was still finishing them up & learning them on the way there.

[@brucecumming8803]

I'm really impressed with her timing in this performance. The way the song is structured has some complexity and she doesn't miss a beat despite that fact that it is a rehearsal. I've often thought this about her performances at home when she is singing to a recorded track that has a long section without singing and she always nails the point to start singing again.

[@sheilascoyne861]

She is just amazing, has been and always will be. Heart and soul penitraiting your ears and heart and soul 💖💖💖💖🎙🎶🎶🎶🙆‍♀️😊

[@jetteart]

I really love her version of “rehab” lyrics that should be understand by her age children. And still she has the tone and music part intact

[@larsm2001]

Mom: No Angelina, you're not singing that on TV Angelina: But we're recording tomorrow......

[@billweekley4077]

My opinion. I think the cameraman noticed him looking at Angelina with a look of how does a ten year old do this. I think he was gobsmacked by her performance.

[@colinrichardson4490]

Great fan of Angelina, understand why she changed the lyrics (honest reaction good look to 15,000 subscribers 👌👍.

[@davidherd1855]

Thanks Adam...... lots to see and hear yet. 😄

[@bernardbone8833]

Thank you Adam for another exceptional reaction When I first heard Angelina’s cover of this song a while back I decided to check out some of Amy’s other recordings and found quite a few songs that I actually liked. I also watched the documentary on her life and death, so sad. I also decided to go back and listen to some of Queen’s music since she has covered them and I am a big fan of Queen and I actually found a couple of Freddie Mercury solos that I would love to see Angelina tackle as I think they would really challenge her and I think they would suite her. One is “love Me Like There’s No Tomorrow “ and the other is “Time Waits For No One” This song was actually recorded in 1986 but was not released until June 2019. Both songs are very emotional. Check them out I would like to know what you and any other fans think. PS I’m really warming up to Aurora. More to come.

[@karolyn8644]

I would love it if she covered those two songs. Another would be Fernando by ABBA.

[@alberttenfoot]

Thank you, Adam. I subscribe to well over 600 Reactors who feature Angelina on their channels and many have reacted to this so. Your analysis is the best I have heard. You understand Angelina - as you did Aurora - after listening to but one of her performances. Many reactors take a long time to even begin to understand just how talented she is and there are some who never "get her".

[@AdamStraughan]

Thank you so much!

[@localnetsolutions]

Rehab is also with different lyrics but less so than Back To Black, I really like it since it my favorite of Amy's songs

[@briarmaster08]

Angelina in her element here. Kick off the shoes, a little bit of Hawaiian hand motion, an attitude of commanding the room in the manner of a songstress paying respect to all of the elemental musicians contributing to the product.

[@nyima04011]

The lyrics story goes... her mom insisted she change the lyrics at the last minute and she was still working on them on the way to the session. I appreciate that she maintained the pain of losing love and the accompanying vast emptiness (speaks to the moon; the wind) without the explicit imagery. Thanks for coming back to Angelina and giving us another great reaction. I don't know about the violinist.

[@brucecumming8803]

I have seen video of Angelina working on the lyrics as she is being driven to this performance.

Think about all the wonderful singers of the past who are part of the Hereafter Angelina Jordan Fan Club, honored that she respects their performances while bringing new life and relevance to the modern world. I echo the comment below regarding the professionalism of your reactions. Definitely one of my top 3. Thanks.

[@RaymondCore]

KORK is Norway's National Public Radio Orchestra. I believe this was done on the first take. There is a mash-up of Amy and Angelina intertwined and Angelina brings Amy back to life. IMO this is among her best covers. The violinist seems to be astounded at the talent he is hearing and you see him looking at the other musicians to see if Angelina if affecting them in the same way. I think his reaction got him the attention.

[@jimjenandi]

I've seen a lot of reactors fault Angelina for changing so much of the lyrics. I think it's genius. I LOVE this song!!! I love Amy Winehouse's version too!! I always enjoy going on a Journey with Angelina with every song she sings!!! Thank you Adam for reacting to this song!!!

[@bernardbone8833]

Whether it was her Mum or Angelina herself felt the lyrics were not appropriate for a ten year old child it was a great decision.

[@Pyanfar]

❤️❤️❤️❤️👣 She changed the lyrics in the 24 hours prior to this after her mum said " no way, you're not going to sing that ." There is video of her in the control room of this studio listening to the first take, obviously not pleased. She had them do it again, which is what you see here. Even at 10 she is a thorough professional. And she is fun loving child at this age, also online is a video of her and her friends at an amusement park the day before screaming on a roller-coaster. As someone else said, that's the only time they have heard anything uncontrolled come out of her mouth. I really wish you would get back to her with your reviews. ❤😉 I think I will sub just in case. Much love from the US.

How not to be able to love such a beautiful talent like Angelina. Adam, you are doing an amazing job, I can't wait to see the next video. :)

[@jeffreyjameson5510]

Always enjoy your reaction and comments. I believe I suggested this song a while back so you would get a new side to her voices. As other have mentioned, I think the violinist was just the victim of an observant camera man. I don’t think you’ve done bohemian rhapsody yet, but there is a young girl in the audience literally watching and listening with her jaw in her lap. She probably has her own KZbin channel for being that girl viewed millions of times looking hypnotized. I think a caption contest for the violinist would be fun. “Man, I hope I don’t forget to play like I did on that last take!”

I like the way she softens the word " black" when she repeats it seven times. It sounds like " blaaah", a much smoother sound. Kudos to another fine review, Adam.

@@brucecumming8803 i think we're both wrong, Bruce. I found a video of the song which displays the lyrics (assuming they're accurate) that says she's repeating the word "laugh". I was pretty sure she wasn't saying "love" because of the "aah" sound she was making.

[@jerrylarocque9600]

@@brucecumming8803 the way the screen displays the lyrics, the word "laugh" has it's own line (7 times) so technically there is a pause between "back to " and "laugh". The following line she sings is " i still laughing". She could have said " i still farting" and i still would love her interpretation of the song. I think you'll agree.

[@elmarwinkler6335]

Adam, As far as my infos go, after the first take of the song, they all listened to it and every one except AJ said it's ok. AJ, so it is said, crunched up her face and said YUCK. And because AJ seems to have a VERY good und fine feeling for music, they went back and started anew, I think that's where this videos begins. She is stabbing her lyrics with the finger, as if she is grumpy about something. Knowing Angelina´s videos now for 8+ months, I came to understand her body language and her face better. So as a super achiever AJ was not happy, to have to do it a second time. LOL. As one of her producers of State Gate said: "We (Star Gate) have only 3 artists/musician, that do their songs in the first take, Beyoncé, Sam Smith and Angelina Jordan". They are the producers of most of the so called super stars in the business. German greetings. Stay save and healthy.

Whats really amazing is she actually rewrote the lyrics on the way there!

[@ridgemanron]

First off, if you've heard her covers of Adele and Whitney, you know what she is capable of. Now, you need to understand that she was planning on a different presentation of Back to Black, much closer to Amy's representation, but one day before the session her mother stopped her from doing it. To be able to obey her mother, this young girl rewrites the lyrics and arranges its delivery so that the orchestra can coordinate with her. Had she been allowed to do it the way she planned, I believe her version would have even blown Amy fans away. To illustrate my point, listen to her 'Leaked' version of 'I'm Still Holding Out For You' by Baby Fuzz. After the tape was made, very close in presentation to the original song, her mother found one specific line that bothered her greatly. That had to do with her saying she'd keep her head under water (drowning), to show her love for her romantic partner, and her mother didn't want her to present her startling performance to the public. Many have said that they believe it is the most stunning performance of all the songs she has recorded and did mimic Baby Face so very closely. If she ever wants to be Amy, I wouldn't doubt her ability to do it.

For some additional "context" (including some irrelevant stuff that's just neat to see), you might want to check out the following related videos: * kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4jYlJeGfL9rms0 raw footage of a rehearsal session for the "music video" you just watched (the sound is quite poor, but it's interesting to see, anyway) * kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6qmqZ96pJKqn9U Angelina, et al., in the studio control room, listening to the results of two recorded takes (note, BTW, that the rehearsal and these two takes are all at slightly different speeds) - the second take they listen to is the one used in the final product, except for one flubbed line (a _very_ rare Angelina mistake), which they had to "fix in post" * kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYm7d6iVi51_mdU a Norwegian TV segment (English captions available) including footage shot just before and after "Back to Black" was recorded - it starts at an amusement park but eventually shows her in a car riding to the studio, rifling through pages that presumably contain her rewritten lyrics, then there's a bit of the music video itself, and then shots from the control room where they are listening to the results (as seen in the previous video - in fact, at 38 seconds into the previous video you can see a cameraman who seems to be the one shooting the control room footage seen in this TV segment) * kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4XCgpemgp5jY6M more footage from the amusement park, presumably recorded by her grandmother (some of this appears to be stuff from the TV segment seen from a different perspective) * kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZniVqXVtirKCibM yet more footage from the park (but this time what we are seeing was apparently not in the TV segment [it's a different "splash"])

It has been said that Angelina rewrote the lyrics on the way to the studio.

If this is a rehearsal, is the final performance recorded anywhere?

I heard that it was her mother who told her that she couldn't sing those lyrics but she only rewrote it the day before, which is why she needed the notes in front of her. Another example of her family looking out for her. I've seen a lot of disagreement about what she's actually saying, and a version has been uploaded onto a lyrics site but they sound nothing like what I'm hearing. Interesting. No idea about the violinist.
