Reacting to Angelina Jordan - It's Now or Never (Elvis Presley) at Allsang på Grensen 2017

[@johnbattles1002]

Angelina is the future female Elvis and will be of the same megastar status. She even has some characteristics facially like Elvis. As Elvis was stunningly handsome, Angelina is stunningly beautiful. Hers and Elvis' smiles are similar in my opinion. Even her lip curls up slightly on certain songs, reminiscent of Elvis' famous lip curl! Elvis may have "left the building," but Angelina has entered it and BOUGHT it!

[@didymalgia]

Well said!! :)

[@bills5268]

"Elvis, if he's the King, then she's the Queen". Couldn't have said it better. And, what 11 year old has chorus singers?! Thanks Didy for your continuing journey with Angelina (and us).

[@didymalgia]

It's a pleasure

[@dbcooper69]

Great reaction, just as you stated, Elvis is King and Angelina is Queen. Just wait to hear sing How Great Thou Art..

[@didymalgia]

[@juliochavez7161]

Angelina looks like an angel holding a microphone. Then proceeds to sing like one, as always. Elvis was my favorite male singer and along comes Angelina to enjoy, like I did Elvis. Very enjoyable reaction Didy and again thanks for the translation. Thumbs up, see you on the next one.

[@didymalgia]

Oh, it was just a pleasure. Thank you for the kind words julio

If you are in a bad mood, just play an AJ-song. One second later you notice what a great day you got....

When those beautiful tones meets between my ears something magical happens. She has done so from my first time hearing her beautiful singing.

[@didymalgia]

[@leebrn8588]

Just today I noticed on U Tube that Angelina is finally getting the recognition she deserves as a jazz singer. Two different jazz channels : Jazz Music Experiance, and Soul, Jazz, and Blue's Night are putting Angelina alongside of Norah Jones, Amy Winehouse, Sade, and Julie London in their programs.

[@didymalgia]

That's fantastic

[@poolhallshark]

Yeah, I was actually listening to that programme yesterday. AWESOME! Link for the lazy : kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIizmHesoqiYrJI

[@leebrn8588]

@@poolhallshark I had seen them showing Angelina separately before alone, but now showing her alongside well known jazz artists is much better for her

[@poolhallshark]

@@leebrn8588 For SURE ! I was really happy when I saw it. Things start to happen, finally. But to be honest, if her family and management so wanted, I believe Angelina would have been very well known already. But that time WILL come. We all know that.

[@leebrn8588]

@@poolhallshark I had a bad day today. While surfing all the U Tube I could find for new Angelina "stuff" because we have not heard from her since her Christmas Concert, I checked several Jazz sites. The one I remember was Angelina's top hits, and some wise guy said the whole thing was phony because Angelina never sings anything but covers, She is not a songwriter, She never gives credit to the original singer, and she is not a good person due to what she writes on her instagram. He said she is going to be forgotten in a few years because she is so desperate to be a big star she is going to fail. I told him everyone has a opinion, just like everyone has certain body parts. I told him Quincy Jones compares Angelina's talent to Michael Jackson, so we will have to see which one is right. My blood pressure went up to 150 over 90. This guy must be a fan of Daneliya, or Diana. What a creep.

[@stillracer2514]

I would guess it isn't normal for a child that age to have a beautiful low register and I've read Angelina is a natural contralto and the reason her voice sounds so mature.

[@CarlD70]

Angelina doing what she loves to do, sing for the world. Angelina channeling a little of her inner Elvis and delivering another knock out performance. She has so much unbelievable talent that appears to be so effortless, and so much joy in her singing that one has to thank the good lord for sending her to us. Wonderful reaction and comments as usual Didy. Thanks for you continued support for the Norwegian Treasure, many times referred to as the Queen or Princess by her fans. As a Patreon of Angelina, appreciated your comments and suggestions for her fans to join her on Patreon. For us Patreons, Angelina just uploaded her Christmas Concert for our joy of watching again and again.

[@didymalgia]

Thank you again for all the kind words Carl, it's much appreciated

[@zeuso.1947]

No one can cover Elvis like Angelina. Angela's deep rich tone in the lower register is unmatched.

[@didymalgia]

[@gertwestblad9052]

You know there was a rumour for a while , after this performance, that she had to be an unknown granddaughter of Elvis.. 😁 Beautiful cover.. 🤗🎶

[@didymalgia]

I can kind of understand that ;) hehe

[@leechap3]

She makes perfection look easy.

[@didymalgia]

[@lesgray8709]

Angelina is very comfortable singing Elvis songs, at an event like this the audience is likely to know the tune and some of the lyrics, so the sing along happens so naturally. I guess that Angelina is happy to bring joy to everyone who listens!

[@didymalgia]

[@DavidHAngelinaJFan]

Ten years old, how good is this young lady? She has totally bewitched me.

Hey, hey, hey Didy!!! Elvis is smiling in heaven along with her grandpa! I believe she has a team of angels present and past that are energizing her big heart and beautiful soul.

[@michaelrogers7426]

What about that ending? Singing in that lower register is phenomenal. Her voice here is like the finest chocolate cake. There is a supreme richness to her singing so much so that you can almost taste it.

[@didymalgia]

Yes her ending was faboulus too. And yes, chocolate is a nice description i would say

The Barefoot Princess with a Thousand Voices. Angelina Jordan Elvis must be so Please as You Sing & Paying Homage to Him.

[@didymalgia]

Thank you once again for the kind words Lisa

[@andyschnell58]

So heartwarming to see the crowd singing along, which is at the heart of what Angelina wants. Angelina wants to sing for the entire world and to improve the quality of life for all, especially the underprivileged children. Thanks Didy for translating the introduction to the performance and for continuing to encourage viewers to support Angelina by subscribing to her channel and watching her videos, giving them a like and commenting.

[@didymalgia]

[@TheBlaster54]

Didy, when I decide to sit and listen to Angelina sing I say to myself, “It’s now or never.” I do enjoy sitting with you and listening to this divinely gifted young lady sing. I’m glad to have discovered your channel. I feel as thought I am with a kindred spirit. Thank you for being you.

[@didymalgia]

Thank you so much for all the kind words, it warms my heart

[@StevenFosterprcofsoflo]

Yes, a pure Angel taking on one of many Elvis songs in her catalog. She will continue to astounded you as you continue your journey. Thanks again Didy.

[@didymalgia]

Thanks for listening

[@stevenderby2147]

Thanks for that translation. For your info: ("It's Now or Never" is a song recorded by Elvis Presley and released as a single in 1960. The song is one of the best-selling singles by Presley, and one of the best-selling physical singles of all time. It was recorded by Bill Porter at RCA Studio B in Nashville. Wikipedia). Thanks for the shout-out for AJ's Patreon.

[@didymalgia]

Thank you so much for all the information Steven, it's much appreciated

[@jollyo9276]

Singing allong with Angelina can never be wrong, even though, then she has to sing the song quite straight. When she gets to sing on her own, I guess she would put her personal stamp even on this song. Hope she will one day 😃 As the queen, Angelina of course has her great list of great Elvis-songs already. That`s something to look forward to for you as well.

[@didymalgia]

[@terrypuccio6671]

She is known as the Queen of Jazz.. FYI

[@zeuso.1947]

I truly appreciate the translation and first-person insight from the culture.

[@didymalgia]

Just a pleasure ZEUS

[@Hank-the-Writer]

@Didy: Angelina has been referred to as the girl with a thousand voices. She really expressed the tone of the original, I think, but in her own way and style.

[@didymalgia]

[@morriswong4628]

If Elvis is the king, Angelina sings this song with one her 1000 voices to let us know she is the Queen

[@YozhikvTumane]

I think Chris Isaak has done a recording of the song, but besides him, I think you're right - I've only heard Elvis .... ... and all the Elvis impersonators.

[@didymalgia]

Right?... ;)

[@dlblakey62]

I’m not a fan of this song - but she obviously does a fantastic job with it as always! Thanks for the reaction.

[@thomshin2460]

[@didymalgia]

[@way2deep100]

What impressed me most was that she sang the wrong lyrics in the first verse, which she has to have realised when she found herself singing the same thing in the second verse and yet she never missed a beat. It happens to the best; Ella did it all the time. But many kids would have run off the stage in tears in front of such a large audience.

[@didymalgia]

[@mike777ok]

Hope I do not offend to many Elvis fans, but Isn't this basically a modern version of "o sole mio" with English lyrics? In that case a lot of Male singers have sung it, very few females.

You are actually right. This song by Elvis and another song "There's no Tomorrow" (1949) by Tony Martin are both based on the Italian song "O Sole MIo".

@@didymalgia Vet ikke om du allerede har spilt inn neste reaksjon, men de konsertopptakene som kommer nå er fra sommerkonsertene hun holdt i 2017. Tror den første konserten var i Sandefjord, deretter på Larkollen, så på Prøysenhuset og tror også det var en i Tylldal. Vi er veldig heldige at de tre første har blitt filmet av Boris fra Russland. Bandet og Angelina bke bedre og bedre etterhvert og Boris ble også bedre til å filme etterhvert så den fra Prøysenhuset er best både lyd og bildemessig. Personlig synes jeg det er helt fantastisk at hun har holdt konserter på fødestedet til en av våre største poeter/forfattere. Virker også som hun liker stedet, hun har holdt 3 konserter der. På denne konserten ble det også filmet et lite innslag til " Vi på Tangerudbakken", og der synger hun deler av en Prøysensang sammen med en av de psykisk utviklingshemmede fra Tangerudbakken, den eneste norske sangen jeg ver hun har sunget fra scenen. Du kan se filmen på KZbin kanalen hennes, tror ikke det er noe å ta en reaksjon på, men et flott innslag.

[@YozhikvTumane]

Yeah, it is a total rip-off ;) .. or maybe an "honest" _English version_ ;) However, it's not too uncommon to see _O Sole Mio_ performed as a male/female duet, some of them quite nice, f.ex. this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnWohK2Lqr-oeZI
