Your comments greatly increase my appreciation of this artist and this song, probably my favorite of Angelina's. Thank you.

[@navrozelalkaka8457]

the problem is that each song she delivers is a gem/nugget/a wonderful work of art.... it's impossible to choose.

[@cm0355]

Our angel Angelina is simply the best…

[@tcc2021]

Baby Fuzz actually gave the song to Angelina at 10 to demo it before he did his release...soooo she actually did it before him.

[@jeffreyjameson5510]

Baby Fuzz did not give her the song. He has publicly stated this. That he knew nothing about her demo. The most believable rumor out there is that two of the other songwriters approached Angies team and had her cut the demo and they produced it. Any rumors beyond that are pure speculation

[@jdeang3531]

@@jeffreyjameson5510 word is there was another version of the song by Baby Fuzz in you tube but was taken down and replaced by the one currently on there. It came after Angelina’s version was recorded. His original is said to be vastly different than the current version.

[@jeffreyjameson5510]

@@jdeang3531 who knows really? Except fuzz. Ronny. Aksel. IMO Fuzz must have had a demo that Angie listened to first just to get the basic feel for the phrasing for the lyrics. Then Angie worked her magic on it. And Ronny and Aksel did an outstanding job in post production. I think her version is a masterpiece that is Radio ready. Would love for her to revisit it.

[@Arturo.H.M]

What is sure is that in KZbin dates, Angelina's version is older. "Leaked" years later it was recorded.

[@leebrn8588]

This song , done so beautifully by Angelina should go in a book of music history as the very best song by a 10 year old singer ever sung. Better than Shirley Temple, or any one else in that age bracket.

[@DeanCapaul]

Age 11. “Lovin You”. Don’t miss this one!!!

[@larrypifer1103]

In the beginning there was music, and it came to pass that the planets and stars aligned, and a child was born on Jan 10, 2006, in a galaxy far, far away and now since she came to earth, we know what the true meaning of the word music is, Angelina Jordan.

Yes but on Stay and California dreamin she is 12 not 11 ...

[@elisabethstermo9396]

Probably the best cover I've ever heard. The LEAKED song.

[@dianedove1000]

This isn’t a cover. She made this as a demo before Baby Fuzz finally sang it. He heard this demo first, so actually he covered her demo! That’s the story I read.

For Angelina Jordan By T. J. Migliorino The gossamer mist lay on the ground. Out of the mist came an otherworldly voice. The Angel spoke from the soul of the universe. She touched my soul and I understood all.

[@barryboyd7973]

How she is able to arrange cover songs so they become her own is unreal for someone her age. So is her voice, her singing ability and the the way she conveys emotions that seem to be beyond her years. Prodigy is not too big a word in her case. She is truly exceptional.

[@annc9660]

YES

[@eileenparco9979]

You to hear her sing jazz at 12, try "I'm A Fool To Want You". I think even Billie Holiday would bow to her!

[@ridgemanron]

It is believed by many that Angelina's mom didn't think it was appropriate for her, at 10 years old, to release a song that refer's to a drowning suicide. I believe it is among the best recordings she has ever done and would have zoomed up the charts, had it been released. It is truly mind boggling when you realize her age. I do hear a lot of the influence that Billie Holiday has had on Angelina.

[@johnwriter267]

A great thoughtful reaction to one of her best performances... I'm concerned that as you move on with you schedual you'll miss Every Time We Say Goodbye. It's a truly unique performance. On a rooftop in Oslo, singing with a guitar accompaniment she's saying goodbye to Oslo before she leaves on an extended trip later that day. It's a beautiful experience to listen to and watch. Even for Angelina, it's an exceptionally soft and emotional performance. She always had an ability to select just the right song for the moment.

[@kenvo343]

this is the best performance that "never existed".

[@lassesvenson7242]

This is probably the best reaction I have seen. Angelina is really unique. Thank you. 😊

[@RobertDeMartin]

Dad, to me this was your finest reaction to our barefoot princess. At the closing of the video you spoke about love. So many of us literally love Angelina and, in fact, many of us have never felt the kind of love she has touched our hearts with. The sound of her voice with it's soulfulness and always a hint of jazz make her so unique there is no one to compare her to even at 10 years old. Funny story: Her family enrolled her in a special music class when she was very, very young. The class introduced the students to the technical aspects of arranging music, etc., and also to learn how to sing. The teachers wanted to speak to her family to tell them they can continue to teach Angelina about the technical aspects of music but it would be a waste of their time to teach her how to sing. They actually told her family Angelina could qualify as an instructor teaching students how to sing at such an early age. Dad, I recently read a comment from one of her 'angels' , his name is Paul Adamson, and I'd like to share it with you. We had just listened to Angelina sing 'What a Difference a Day Makes' at 8 years old (you'd swear it was Dinah Washington singing!) and, as usual, all of us had a lot to say. Paul quoted Plato, the great philosopher: "Music is a moral law. It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm of sadness, and life to everything. It is the essence of order, and leads to all that is good, just and beautiful, of which it is the invisible, but nevertheless dazzling, passionate, and eternal forms." And then, Paul offered this comment: "I think Plato must have foreseen the coming of Angelina Jordan when he scribed these beautiful words."

[@kevingood4644]

I love her as the daughter I never had..she’s just 4 months older than my son..

[@michaelrogers7426]

Robert-beautiful comment-Angelina has powers that she is aware of but she seems to not be fully aware of… power like a spiritual leader, a guru, yet she conveys almost all of it through singing which is remarkable, and her calling is wanting to bring love to the world through her singing

[@SingerDadReacts]

Hi Robert. Thank you for this kind comment and for your insights. I also appreciate that you watched to the end. Many viewers miss my heartfelt words of encouragement and love in my closing. I love the quotes you included too. Music is all that and can heal, lift and enliven the soul. Thank you for your support and God Bless.

Robert, you do such an incredible job on you comments. Whenever I see you write something I read it thoroughly as your insight is awesome. I really loved your excerpt from Plato.

[@johnbattles1002]

Josh, if you want to really hear "basement low" from Angelina, you must check out her renditions of the hymn "How Great Thou Art" (in the same key as Elvis, from what I've read!) and the classic old Sinatra standard "You Make Me Feel So Young"! Her low octave range, while maintaining awesome breath control, will stagger your mind!

I think you would enjoy hearing her sing, “You are always on my mind”. She dedicated the song to her Grandpa who recently died. Her presentation is so sincere, heartfelt and emotional.

GREAT REVIEW. You said what probably most fans are thinking. She performed 14 songs at a concert on 21.07.2017 at Prosenfestivalen. Pick any five! She was on fire that day.

[@DonaldLancon]

Silly me. I thought to myself, "OK, picking a few favorites from when she was 11 shouldn't be _too_ hard…" And then I looked at my playlist for that year and saw about 10 things you absolutely *need* to hear!😁 But OK… here's my list of just four. I've limited myself to one performance of each of four types: live-in-concert, live-at-home (someone's home, anyway), live-in-the-studio, and live-on-the-radio. * "Faded" at Prøysenfestivalen [on Boris Palenovski's channel - the "sound enhanced" version has clearer audio than the original upload] * "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" accompanied by Egil Clausen on guitar [Angelina Jordan CoverChannel] * "I'm a Fool to Want You" from a recording session for her album _It's Magic_ [Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz channel - the video title says "rehearsal", but about half of the take we are watching her sing ended up on the album - this one is harder to find than the others here, so I'll give you the YT video ID: v=79tM-Spcr1Q] * "Mary's Boy Child" on NRK Radio, kicking off an interview promoting one of her 2017 Christmas concerts [Boris Palenovski] Note that some people may be recommending a different upload of her "I'm a Fool to Want You" recording session that uses the audio from the CD track in place of the original "ambient audio" heard in the Mosarz upload. You should hear the unaltered version I'm pointing you to.

Beautiful reaction, thank you ! Makes this dark song even more emotional. Angelina is a real musical genius.

[@boscobeans]

Angelina is 10 in this cover. Amazing

[@Christian-DH]

This demo was never meant to be released. Her parents made this decision owing to the topic of suicide in the song. We know that she was 10 when she sang this. The images on this fan made video indicate it wasn't leaked until she was 12. If you really want to hear her lower register, she sang "How Great Thou Art" in the style of Elvis Presley. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jX2kdqxnga57qMU

Technically it’s a demo from the time when he was pitching this great song to singers. His own version is good too and i think he borrowed some from Angelina in how the chorus takes off a tall cliff and just soars. Nice to see you again!

[@anitaherbert1037]

So I hope Republics producers take a close note of this. Usually Angelinas voice is best with simple acoustic accompaniment. This production show cases her voice. It is an excellent example of how it is possible to not drown the subtleties of her voice by over production.

[@tomrogers1305]

Her production company, the people shee actually works with everyday (except Rob) is Stargate, a Nowegian company based in the US, whose particating artist include Sam Smith, Rihanna and Beyonce. So she's in good and loving hands.

[@johnvasi]

Let me quibble a bit with your strictly chronological approach. You can listen to Angelina at any age and be stunned. Yes, her voice today is stronger and more resonant, but you can see her here at 10 killing this song for anyone else. If you stick with your approach, you’ll never catch up to present day Angelina because she has so many incredible songs. Within the past year, her releases of Suspicious Minds, Easy on Me, and I Have Nothing are all staggeringly good. You can go back anytime to her huge, amazing cache of songs, but you really should hear what Angelina can do today. I listen to Angelina everyday, and choose her older songs hundreds of times. Treat yourself to the best singer you’ll ever hear-and watch what she can do right now.

[@peterhormell1511]

I totally agree with you johnvasi. Experiencing Angelina out of chronological sequence in no way takes away from the enjoyment of discovering her oeuvre. And I have been experiencing Angelina’s journey since 2017. For much of her discovery I had no choice but to discover her chronologically. Step away from the self-imposed rigidity and treat yourself to a 2022 performance SD! ❤️❤️❤️👣

[@mileshanley8052]

One that doesn't get mentioned as much is Every Time We Say Goodbye that she sang on a rooftop for a show in Norway. I believe she was 11. To me it is a masterpiece. If you want to hear her slay a jazz classic, you need to include this one.

What she does with her vocals on different songs is the reason one of her fan nicknames is the "Angel with 1000 Voices." She uses the voice that is most appropriate for the song she is singing.

[@RustyShacklefordChannel]

Good to see you back! I'm glad you got to this one. It's a great example of Angelina's artistry. So many clever vocal choices she made here. ....and that run at the end is perfection. If you want 11 year old, my personal picks would be from the "Proysenfestivalen" show (check Boris' channel): Diamonds Are Forever and Cry Me A River are both in my favorites.

[@johnroache32]

❗️I’m Still Holding Out For You” is an Angelina Original at 10! Experts agree! An original, is any song which was not recorded by any artist before, it may be composed by the person singing it, or by someone else. Baby FuzZ and 3 others wrote this song at a Music Camp. He actually performed the “Cover” that Angelina had already recorded in 2016, at 10. The Demo or not, it was published, uploaded, on Nov. 11, 2018. Reportedly, his offical video, published Dec 9, 2018, (two years later) was met with very little fanfare. He has since, given her Copyright privileges, and his blessing, to make a proper recording of the song. (After 350 various videos, this remains in my top 10!)

Thank you for this detailed and thoughtful technical reaction from a singer's perspective. I also loved the background info on Brandon's thoughts on the song. The emotional aspects of the lyrics and her performance are worth mentioning too, since everything in the song and the singer result in the emotional reaction of the listener to the song. And no one delivers the intended emotions of the lyrics like Angelina.

Have you reacted to her performances from the Proysenfestivalen at age 11? Highlights include Loving You, Diamonds Are Forever and Cry Me a River. She was on fire that day! And then there is the incredible studio version of I'm a Fool to Want You, where she records the song for her album, It's Magic. She's 11 there, too. Highly recommended!

[@stevecharles4498]

At around 12 Years old she did a cover of How Great Thou Art (Elvis) where she spent the entire song in her low range... and it's both beautiful and shocking! It was a real struggle to understand how she was doing what she was doing! A must watch. Great Reaction.

And last but certainly not least from same concert as well, "Faded" (she did this on livestream at 10 with Alan Walker), but 11 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYrNkIyDpc6DmqM. Hope that is not to much Josh, wanted to give you some variety of songs. Cheers, stay well. BTW, these were all recorded by Boris Palenovski who attended the concert.

Baby Fuzz did his official video twice. The second was after he had heard Angelina's. He is a tremendous writer. I really like this song. Angelina's family were hesitant to have her singing because of the end .. but what you're going to hear is what was put together as a demo.

[@DonaldLancon]

I think you may be right that this one has the lowest notes you've heard from her so far. For reference, the first note of her a-cappella "I'm a Fool to Want You", which she sang just after turning 8, seems to have been only one note higher than the low notes you were marvelling at here (E3 vs. D3) - and this was (reportedly) sung nearly 3 years later, when she was just about to turn 11. She hit F3s and E3s (AFAICT) in some other things you've already heard, but just for the record, she got down to a D3 (more or less) when she sang "Unchained Melody" on a talk show called _Lindmo_ about a year before this recording (when she was about to turn 10). There is general agreement that the lowest note we've ever heard from her (so far) is in "How Great Thou Art", sung when she was 12, but disagreement over what the note actually was. I say "on paper" it was a C3, but it sounds to me like she went a little lower than that (but not as low as a B2) because she was trying to come up to the note from below it. (!)

Another outstanding performance is Diamonds Are Forever, the James Bond movie song.

[@peterstadelmeier]

Hello SingerDad, There are a lot of rumours. Actually this is her song because she sang it first but only as a demo and BabyFuzz did a cover of her. I think it's quite simple, the song would have gone through the roof and for her 10 years on this song and the way she is protected by her family it would have been too soon with the hype that followed and as mentioned would have been without a record deal it would have been difficult to release this song and only others would have benefited from it. but that's just a guess on my part

Very happy to see you again in Angelina and with a great reaction, thank you. 10 years old and a concentration of delicacy, power, technique, sensitivity and unreal talent, this is absolutely a unique and magical girl.

I greatly appreciate your preparations and deep dive. As far as I know, Angelina was the first artist to record this song. It was just a demo at the time of recording, and Brandon didn't record his own version until a couple of years later. That ALMOST makes it Angelina's song, wouldn't you agree 😂 I see that Andy Schnell and I have more or less the same songs in our top 5. Use his links. Here are MY suggestions : 1) "Lovin' You" live at Prøysenfestivalen here in Norway. There are a few recordings of Angelina in her vocal "BEAST" mode, and this is definitely one of them 😉 2) "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face " 3) "I'm A Fool To Want You" Here is the link, as this one is not on Andy's top 5 : kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXjbYZegjbmLh80 4) "Love Story" 5) "Cry Me A RIver" live at Prøysenfestivalen again. These performances will set you up nicely for Angelina at age 12 🙂 Have a great weekend, my friend, and take care! Much love and respect from Norway ♥♥♥ (Your reactions are different)

Great selections, I would add Diamonds Are Forever from the same Proysenfestivalen concert.

You can see why baby fuzz worked with her. The guy has been around. He knows greatness when he hears it.

[@scottbaldwin7862]

Baby Fuzz mimic’d her style. A rare example of a composer covering their own song.

[@MichaelSmith-mr2mz]

Thank you for that. It’s so good to see you again. There is a song, originally by Jacques Brel, that she took on at this age. If You Go Away is an amazing song, made up of simple, short words and phrases that, if played well, will touch your heart. Angelina does more than that. You will find Logic, Sadness, Yearning, Resignation, Pain, Forgiveness, and others I can’t identify, all within her interpretation. I think with your sensitivity to her voice, you could find them all for us. Thanks again.

[@wildwood3031]

That ending is just artistry with the run sounding like her sinking down through the river waters. Genius level.

[@branscombeR]

wild wood: It's grandma Mery's direction and, I believe, camera work. She added stars and the moon in post-production. It's shocking to realize that the video was shot when Angelina was 10 years old ... so this is the child that is singing on 'I'm Still Holding Out For You' almost 2 years before Baby Fuzz!

[@wildwood3031]

@@branscombeR The ending I was alluding to is the descending vocal run prior to the end segment . Sorry I hadn't made that very clear.

Angelina makes several subtle yet great changes, such as, thinking about you crazy, all the time. See if you can spot the others.

[@DonaldLancon]

One small thing that gets me right off the bat on this one is the way she makes the same vowel sound on "my" and the "mo" in "tomorrow". I just love that.

[@shihansensei983]

I thoroughly enjoy all of your observations and as you say.... there's not much more that I can add. I would ask you, however, to give a listen to 'A Song For A.' This was the only vocal on an entire album of instrumentals. The composer, Nic Cartosio, specifically chose and sought out Angelina for this lush composition. I am hopeful that you will appreciate and enjoy AJ's abilities in delivering this score. Thank you.

[@FlameCold258]

Thank You!

Welcome back. Wonderful reaction Josh. I like your break down. Angie was 10 when she made this demo from the same camp Brandon was at in Norway in 2016. Then leaked out about the same time BF released his (yes the harmony is with herself). Please react to Angie when she was 11 at her concert in Kongsberg in Norway. "Lovin you" the enhanced audio version she redid it to make it more age appropriate from the original called "I want to makesweet love to you" 👣💎👍

[@todradmaker4297]

The camp where this song was written was in the summer of 2016 and Angelina recorded this demo in the winter of 2016. Angelina did not attend that camp.

[@ooshta]

@@todradmaker4297 actually she did attend the camp but the demo was not at the camp and she was not there at the same time as BF. She and her family already knew Freda and some others there, also they have worked with them before.

This is I think One of her best at 10 years old and if you want to hear her Lowest Levels i suggest Thou Art Thy Lord Which is all in her Lower Registry And is Fantastic. Chris Tredwell Birmingham UK

Angelina at 11yo opened her concert with this. It gets way too little notice. She rides the jazz wave without equal and also lets the dogs out! Not to be missed!

Thank you Josh, always enjoy your sincere and thoughtful reactions and comments with Angelina. Pretty sure all her Angels covet this song as one of her best at 10 or any other age I suppose though there are so so many "best" songs from Angelina. I would like to suggest this video of Angelina rehearsing "I'm A Fool To Want You" in studio at age 11. She had performed this song at age 8 on NGT, A Cappella. This rehearsal of this song is for her album "It's Magic" and is pure raw vocals with just a little bleed through of the music in the background, this is simply an 11 year old artist at work. Her Grandma is recording the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWrXfmCJpcilZ7M.

YES! It is mind blowing!

[@gertwestblad9052]

At 11yo she had an amazing consert tour. Try Lovin you, or Diamonds are for ever live at Proysenhuset. You find all her conserts from this timeframe on Boris Palenovskis chanel. 😉 I must add Cry me a river..😊

[@mikehaun5690]

Great reaction, SD and sorry the reaction to Autumn Leaves didn't work out. It is one of my favorites from AJ at 10, but at least you did get to hear it. Five of my favorites from 11 are: Something's Got a Hold On Me - kzbin.info/www/bejne/inTGZYygp85mpsU ; Mary's Boy Child (sung live in a radio station) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWnMmJShfdBslas ; If You Go Away - kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5jEcoOPf9Glh5I ; Like a River Flow (sung in Japanese) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/moWTfWt_iMx4brM - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWbEaoGNa7iMq6c .

[@charlesmilburn9572]

Thanks for a thorough researched reaction it was much more than the typical reaction. One comment on this song, I have read that it was brought to her by the group Stargate to develop a demo recording to send to Baby Fuz as he was asking for someone to sing it. Do know what actually happened but he released his own version and evidentally later someone ,in his organization?put together the video and "leaked it" I strongly recommend that you react to "A Song for A" for many reasons. The music was composed by Nico Curtisio as the last movement in his instrumental classical piece depicting the seven levels of frozen hell. We wanted the last movement to be about redemption and love and remembered the 18th century Scottish poet Robert Burns poem Rigs of Barley" and he wanted Angelina to sing it so he sent it to her and the result is awesome. I think she was 11. Very few people react to this, but I think it checks a lot of boxes for you. I really look forward to your thoughts on this. One question as you listen, "What pic movie should this have the opening song for" I love the violin at the end.
