Angelina Jordan | I'm Still holding Out For You | Reaction

[@JimTeeter]

Nick I knew you would love this one, It always blows me away every time I listen to it. Seeing your reactions to her music make me appreciate her talent even more. There are still more gems from her younger years to hear while we wait for her to release new material. If you don't run across them I'll continue requesting them. Thanks Buddy

[@musicluvr70]

I just sent a request for another of those "gems" from her youngest years. Hoping he gets the chance to react to it soon, and hoping I did everything right. 😊

[@rolfgoldmann2577]

a century's voice. the age doesn't matter.!!

[@williamarmstrong9008]

Call Peter they put in my file folders. I can play anytime I want to you can copy them. It’s just not it’s not a legal coupon. You can copy and play it for yourself or a bunch more songs I did that. I just open them up in the night time she seem to sleep in the morning she wakes me up.

[@skibyldog8419]

She’s a gift from god

[@goldenruletv7301]

10 freaking years old. She is the greatest vocalist I have ever heard in my life, period. Happy Birthday barefoot Angel! We love you!

[@jujujj63]

Freddy mercury said that because of the shape of his teeth and mouth. They can control their sounds due to they develop different muscles in the mouth. If you watch queen sing he had similar ranges but she's a child. She is a child prodigy.

[@097534]

This is mind blowing from anybody but from a ten year old girl is stunning!!!

[@christian53050]

For her to look as the sweetest possible 10--11 year old (great b/w photography) and to sing with that adult authority and musical nuance... is just uncanny !

[@williamdunphe-bh2pu]

She is awesome wild bill

[@jwichman9]

The vibrato at the end of that one line is incredible. I don’t know how she does that.

[@ericlevi5729]

This song was written and performed by BABY FUZZ it’s quite good. But she’s in a league of her own

[@jamesjackson2875]

"a ball of soul and jazz" . Well said

This CHILD has more vocal control than most singers 5 times her age here..Love your reactions..you are a pretty good singer in your own right

Coming back again... a year later.. to say this is still my Favorite 💯💕 can you imagine in 80 years someone discovering she was 10🤯🤯😳💕

Shocking beyond comprehension leaving us unable to function until space and time catch up together again in this realm.

[@davidgoldstein1526]

We need to respectfully request, in the strongest terms, that this song be released. It is a chart topper, for sure, and an unbelievable performance for a ten-year old. ❤

Great reaction. Thanks. She is amazing.

I choose this as my all time favorite Angelina song. If you have to choose one. Love when reactors get to this point in the journey. I've watched this with you well into double figures. Still one of the best reactions out there. Very expressive. A joy to watch.

[@FlameCold258]

She was 10 years old on this performance!!!

[@ThatSingerReactions]

Crazy

[@jamesbirchley4732]

I. Always think of the words meaning that she is holding out for her future mature self when she can realise her full potential!

[@robertcarlson2807]

This song was written by Baby FuzZ (real name is Brandon Lowry, stage name is Sterling Fox), Aksel Carlson, Ronny Janssen and Frida Amundsen. In 2016, they shopped it around to various artists, but couldn't find anyone to record it. They asked Angelina to record a demo and that is what you just heard. She was 10 years old. The demo was never officially released, but someone who had access to it leaked it to KZbin (that's why you see "Leaked" at the beginning). There is a lot of speculation and controversy about the recording, partly because Angelina said she would never sing it again. Some say it is because her mother didn't approve of the ending lyrics because they infer suicide. That has never been confirmed. Some say that Baby FuzZ wouldn't give his permission for Angelina to release it, but that has never really been confirmed either. However, he has not blocked it from being played on KZbin. Baby FuzZ recorded and released it in 2018, but it didn't have much success. As of 8/7/2021, his video had 20,630 views. Angelina's had 280,782 views. The ironic thing is that Angelina recorded Baby FuzZ's song before he did, meaning that he ended up covering his own song. It's a shame Angelina's recording was never officially released, because there is overwhelming sentiment that it could have been a #1 hit. Many people hope that she will reconsider singing it and include it on a future album. We can only hope!

[@RedSinter]

You've clearly nailed it and it's is a phenomenal recording arrangement, interpretation, her style l could listen to it on a loop and nary tire of it.

[@lisayoung4987]

Beautifully written and Angelina did Justice with it. The Emotion and Swagger resonates a Thousand times.

[@AzaleaLala]

But the first song she sang at Norway's Got Talent was "Gloomy Sunday". It's a song about suicide.

[@salvadorvelazquezheredia8670]

Maybe Angelina could change the Lyrics a little.... ¡¡¡¡¡ similar way that she did in the song "Black To Black ".... ¡¡¡¡

[@lengould9262]

@@salvadorvelazquezheredia8670 no, i would hope that would not be necessary. Surely the lyrics shouldn't be judged as encouraging suicide.

[@lisayoung4987]

This is Gold. You would Never Guess She is 10 yrs old. Love your Reaction when she Sings any Emotion at this young age You Feel it Like No Way She's 10yrs old. She Blows my Mind How Any & All the Emotions She Sings YOU FEEL EACH ONE !!!!!!!!

[@fande...Angelina]

First time I heard that I fell off my chair 😳 it's so difficult to imagine a so young girl singing like that even we saw in such others performances, it's crazy...

Definable one of my favorites. You're a great singer but have you ever considered comedy You crack me up! I have some short term memory issues but I'm sure I just watched you react to this yesterday. Just like the rest of us you just can't control your excitement and your facial expressions... If you ever have a bad day and you feel the need for a lift or an awakening, just push replay and get a look at yourself, lifting us up, while you're watching Angelina. You're an 😇

[@edwardsullivan5481]

It's not fair to other singers to be this good. It's like being a gold medal Olympian when everyone else is in middle school sports.

[@zombie7857]

The greatest hit that never was. Weight for age this is still her best performance, backed by an astonishingly good production. Top of my list.

[@nfpnone8248]

Give it time, performances like this usually take on a life of their own. Who knows who will profit from it, but it will hit the top of the charts, it’s inevitable!

[@Maddog0608]

got to check out How Great Thow Art, by Angelina Jordan

[@wbutrico7627]

I am knocking any ones abilities and talents... but there jut isn't another female her age that can do what this girl does, period. this is just unreal.. this girl is one of a kind... everything she does is so unique. Her voice ( that of course she was blessed with) her phrasing, her arranging, her use of effects. She, as this age, was already making better musical choices then most known artist. She just understands, whether its taught or just natural, or a combination of both, how to interpret and recreate a song. That is her gift. She has a beautiful musical mind. Cant wait to see where she goes with her music... another stunning and mind blowing performance. This young lady is on a fast track to greatness, no doubt in my mind ]

[@pattydonohue5452]

"This is God Tier!" You are so right, my friend!

[@ibaba9270]

This is perfect

[@andyschnell58]

Angelina recorded this demo a week before her 11th birthday. This awesome song was written by Brandon Lowry (aka Baby Fuzz) and it was never officially released therefore the "Leaked" in the title. Thankfully everyone involved with this vocal masterpiece is good with it being on KZbin. Should have a been a #1 hit but the world was not ready for a 11 year old to have such a hit. Fits perfectly into the story line of the greatest, most accomplished child vocalist.

[@danieljodrey8863]

Andy! The restraint! 🤯🤯🤯 Love you brother. ✌️😜

[@McDevittMike]

And speaking of that, Angelina has one of the most fascinating, almost legendary backstories of any artist I know.

[@kengehl7337]

controversies aside, this is always stunning, but where does a 10-year get the notion to even sing like that? She just feels music differently than the rest of us,,,,

[@ThatSingerReactions]

Its scary tbh

[@ridgemanron]

@@ThatSingerReactions As scary as the fact that she began singing jazz at 1-1/2? Who on God's Earth has ever been able to do that? Thanks to her grandmother, Mery Zamani, Angelina's ability at that young age was evident to her and she cultivated her granddaughter, bringing this immense talent out of her. It should be noted that whereas Angelina is a child prodigy, so was her grandmother (art and poetry).Talk about potent DNA, WOW !

[@mhartonthego]

My brain can't comprehend AJ

[@donaldjackson4456]

You cannot appreciate this without Subwoofers. Js. Ive been jammin this for years.

[@rolfgoldmann2577]

yes.she is still young but she still arranged and sang it ! and she also sang and arranged all the other covers and originals even though she is young ! and she has already written a book and helped raise a lot of money for social causes, although she is so young ! i can't read it anymore..talking about her age again and again.yes she is young, everyone should know that by now.evaluate her for what she is.a young woman who is brilliant.a century agree.the age doesn't matter.!!

[@ccdecc6650]

Yeah, the lost masterpiece -- and I've yet to encounter the non-troll not blown away by this. It makes no sense at all for a 10yr old. It barely makes sense for a veteran adult singer. It remains for me the biggest "what if" of Angelina's obviously very young career, because from the moment I first heard it it just screamed "hit!" to me. That elusive soulful jazzy pop crossover with all time vox. Such a loss to have it forgotten about because of personality clashes. Republic has to be aware of it. P.S. Love your singer's instincts on these, pausing and testing it out.

[@fernandof.2225]

I can't even tell you how much I enjoyed watching you enjoying every piece of this song so much. This is a Mega song. Is her best song. Best vocals, outrageous phrasing, amazing beat. Bookmark it and listen to it a few more times on your own.

What troubles me is that it is the ONLY voice I want to hear. I do not tire of it and I just can't get enough of it!! This has been going on for years now. She is a part of me, her voice is always in my head. If she is not an angel then she is the closest thing to one. Have never come across anyone even close to this. Oh, and by the way, this is her very best!! I mean ...come on.....at ten years old being the first to record this song and make the decisions she made on HOW to sing it!!!!!! That's just nuts and unbelievably beautiful!!!

Thank you for this great reaction. I love it when I see someone that reacts the way I react when I hear such an incredible performance. You have a way great way of displaying your shock to something that is not normal. These vocals are not expected to come from any singer let alone a 10 year old. I will move heaven and earth to go see Angelina in concert and can't wait for that day.

[@Kathy8852]

A musical genius at 10! Yes, she is 10 here.

[@t_adams]

There are a lot of good, even great singers out there but none of them sounded like this at (10) ten years old. If this song was released 5 years ago when it was recorded it would have been a bigger hit that anything Adel, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, you name an artist and this girl would have been bigger than any of them. Hell, if this was released now, not only would it still be a huge hit, Angelina Jordan would slay anyone out there and rule the game for the couple of decades. No Cap. I think this is the best performance I have heard in way too long and it is by a ten year old girl that know how to sing.

[@ThatSingerReactions]

I agree

[@johnroache32]

Really, now . . . What can one possibly say, beyond the complimentary gift she has given to us. For me, it is impossible to find a word even equal to her talent. 🌺 Really, now. Just really. 10 years old

This song was leaked, another group released it but they originally were doing it with angelina, and i believe the story was that her family did not think it was appropriate for a ten year old.

[@juliochavez7161]

You can see why I have recommended this song to others in the past. Angelina had me check out the other cover and only then did I really understand what she had done with it. At that point in time it only solidified why she is my favorite singer at any age. Thumbs up Singer.

She is unique and your way of emphasizing that by pointing out some wonderful features is also very nice. i love this very much!

[@Hank-the-Writer]

@TSR: To me, this song is really a predictor of the style she's developing today... back when she was 10. Thanks for the comments!

[@ridgemanron]

Many fans believe this is the most stunning, unique presentation she has ever done. Her mom didn't like a line that had to do with a drowning suicide and from what I've heard, the writers wouldn't adjust the lyrics so Sara refused to allow Angelina to record it. It would have been a #1 song for sure.

[@helenrussell5634]

That’s strange cause in her first ever audition for NGT she sang Gloomy Sunday which is all about suicide, and she was only 7 then!

[@ridgemanron]

@@helenrussell5634 For whatever reason, I don't think her mom was thinking past performing and hopefully winning NGT. I believe the choice of all songs she performed were those that her grandma liked. Sara, was quiet as a church mouse, standing hidden backstage, whereas grandma was a truly boisterous cheer leader waving a large placard in the audience that said 'Angelina - Queen Of Jazz' , with a photo of Louis Armstrong displaying 'puffed cheeks', which he was known for 'back in the day' when he was in his prime. Grandma Mery ruled that day, promoting her granddaughter as forcefully as she could !

[@brianreilly8661]

Sara was crying backstage and I trust her great way she controls what's good for Angelina they are such a close nit family that song is maybe the best has sang awsome

[@corbelius6]

Nothing Like her!

[@RobertDeMartin]

This was not good. It was spectacular! And, you know what? Every time you hear this it gets better and better. Nick, I have to take a deep breath first for me to say the following (and I've been around the block a few times). There has never been anyone like her, past or present. I can understand it if you, and a lot of other people, are hesitant to say that. It's quite a statement. But her voice, where does it come from? Some singers can emotionally move you with particular songs and that is special, indeed. But, Angelina? She emotionally moves you with everything she sings! Loved your reaction.

[@citizenkane4831]

The original text is about suiced. But Angelinas mother thought she was to young to sing about such a serius topic. So the text is rearanged. The original text is written by Baby Fuzz. Angelina has also promised to never perform it live. Baby Fuzz also changed his verssion of his text after hearing Angelina

[@williamarmstrong9008]

I went back and listen to original song a song, and I’m nothing about suicide in it same word you’re hearing this the most he did that better his voice go back and listen to this matter born on KZbin maybe for Elsia Home now if you find a piano, so you know song there’s no suicide mission you were next song

[@randallmatthews6901]

Angelina is a sevante when it comes to remaking songs.She is simply the best l have ever heard.

This and "california dreaming" is Angelinas 2 best songs imo! (oh yeah and "wicked game" offcourse!)

She shows such a deep understanding of the lyrics at the age of 10. Incredible.

[@Rosannasfriend]

Wow! I didn’t expect the explosion of vocals at the end!

[@Rosannasfriend]

She’s always talented… But I have to say I definitely prefer her work as a kid. Definitely hits different.

[@JohnHug-rj2mj]

I always wish i could sing, now i wish you could, don't try, you can't do it..!!!

[@leonardbellinger5223]

I'm still holding out for you song written by Brandon Lowry( also goes by Baby Fuzz), Ronny Janssen, Askel Carlson, and Frida Amundsen they went to 10-year-old Angelina with it and Angelina made this audio cut (pictures were added later by a fan "great job" to the pirated audio cut) but Angelina's family didn't like the ending lyrics referencing suicide and asked for a lyric change from the authors and they refused and the song cut was stored. (The song was released by Baby Fuzz later)Then the audio cut was leaked, (pirated) from Angelina later on, also Angelina has stated she would never sing the song again. Brandon Lowry, it is sed, has no problem with the U-tube video being used. It's a terrible shame as it could have been a mega-hit My favorite AJ song is just a shame about the drama.

[@shaairah]

I LOOOOVE your reactions and yes, this is one of my alltime faves from Angelina. Just immacculate from start to finish. What always amazes me about her is that even when she was just a kid (I mean, she's only a ten now), she not only sang so beautifully but she alse PERFORMED each song like she felt them in her soul, even though she couldn't possibly have had time to live through many of the emotions she interprets. Not only is she one of the best vocalists ever, but her delivery and the way she emotes each story is second to none.

[@johndavidson5228]

This is definitely one of her best.
