This puts a smile on my face | Reaction to Angelina Jordan Singing Avicii - Wake Me Up

[@ArabManReacts]

Habibati! If you haven't checked it out yet, here's the link to the Retrospective we did about Angelina Jordan, this was a labor of love, we'd be super happy if you checked it out and shared your thoughts.

When AJ sing Bohemian Rapsody, The Queen repost and made thanks to her great performance! I think in the future we will see any other famous musicists blowing your minds with AJ performances. By the way, react to her Elvis' "Always on my mind" performance, a tribute to her died Grand Father. Prepare your hearth!!

[@majidnayeri8373]

This girl just sits there and leaves you speechless by her voice. It’s breathtakingly beautiful.

[@kevingood4644]

She’s a poet.

[@kellishostall2583]

Her tributes are iconic. The way she sings this makes you see that he really was tormented. It is also like she is begging to grow up before she has to deal with the sorrow of him dying. Beautiful ❤️

[@michaelrogers7426]

Angelina on this reveals her supernatural abilities to emote… she is a blessing. Watch her hands and her eyes. She doesn’t sing a song. She turns every song into a masterpiece. I don’t want to diss other singers but she is on another level. The combination of vocal ability, creativity, historical music knowledge, beauty, love for people, patience, hard work… is there anything missing?

[@maryramirezgreene1455]

Wow! Wow! Wow! This is my new favorite cover song of hers. She forced us to hear every single word and feel every word. So haunting! Great reaction as always!

[@TrenchTrash01]

She always selects the perfect song to express her feelings, especially in tributes

[@twfchamp02]

I can’t listen to Aviccii’s version without thinking about this tribute. I’m in tears writing this because I’m in a lot of mental pain right now. Angelina helps me get through it and I’m grateful for her existence and her music. Love your reaction to this.

[@debrap9448]

Reading this 9 months later and my heart (God) says to you, hang in there, some days are better than others, but keep your eyes on Jesus, He’s got this. Peace & joy to you, may He send a legion of angels to uplift you. ❤

[@Bustefaen]

Making a huge club banger into the most touching song of rememberance… Pure genius.

[@rogercarriere4756]

She did it for her friend and she is a genius.

[@kentovewagenes1141]

A beautiful tribute ❤️ RIP Avicii ❤️

[@capstan50g]

When people dismiss Angelina as merely a great mimic with no life experience, I remind them that she had to deal with a friend's tragic self-inflicted death, as well as traveling the world at a young age. I love this cover because it shows both the depth of her sorrow and her determination to carry on with her own life. Great reaction and insights, Boudy!

[@dharmabum9119]

Lets not forget she also knew Lisa Marie and Priscilla Presley prior to Lisa Marie's untimely passing...

[@beachbumseaglass]

People dismiss her because they're jealous children. Anyone with two ears and a few marbles in between knows how amazing Angelina is.

[@CarlD70]

Those people are listening to the over produced crap on mainstream music....that's in their wheelhouse and tone deaf brains.

[@nyima04011]

Yes. She had dealt with many deaths by the age of 14. 2 Grandfathers, musicians she idolized and others....

[@albertphilippi4371]

Avicii was friends with Angelina and her family. Angelina recorded this song shortly after the tragic death of Avicii became known. Anyone who knows Angelina notices how emotionally affected she was and music is her way of dealing with it. 💯 *AJ* 💯 Avicii ( *September 8, 1989 as Tim Bergling in Stockholm - + April 20, 2018) was a Swedish DJ, remixer and music producer in the field of electronic dance music. The single Wake MeUp was number one on the singles charts in Over 20 countries. The music video reaches over 3.2 billion viewers on KZbin. 🤗🤗

[@Halli50]

Angelina was raised in Norway, Avicii's depression and final solution will have been a shock to young Angelina but, being raised in Norway in a stable and loving family, this was just one step towards maturity.

[@MarkHughson]

Angelina takes a 2 billion view mega dance song & turns it into a beautiful psalm, giving it a completely different meaning. AJ created an emotional masterpiece.

[@zeuso.1947]

Good grief. I break down in tears every time she starts this song. The pain in her voice stabs me right in the heart.

[@pietersbart]

Angelina sings his own song, slows is down and adds a boatload of melancholy. All of the sudden it becomes a farewell note and you can hear the bad place where Avicii was at. It is so beautiful! I don't remember if you have listened to her a capella rendition of 'I'm a fool to want you'? She did that at 7 and keeps pitch perfect and keeps her pace for 2-3 minutes. They put that singing to the music and it's incredible: it's so easy to slide a little in your tone and your pace, but no it was just perfect. I've invented the word that she has a phonographic memory :-)

[@RobertDeMartin]

Thank you for sharing your genuine feelings with us, tuning into an Angelina video reaction with you is a real treat. You covered it all. There is one point I would like to raise and it's clearly evident in this video. When Angelina looks straight at the camera a miracle occurs, doesn't it? She looks directly at everyone of us and we can see and feel the love in her heart touching ours. And it appears at several points in the song she was singing to Avicii's spirit. I believe that. We are all entitled to our own beliefs and for me, I will believe she touched his spirit.

[@RichardBourne]

And ours. Rb

[@Rchl.Campos]

Most of all she makes wonderful incense with her sound, I'm sure it translates as the joyful sound we should all carry within for our own later making upon absorption of the essence emitted as she shares her gift of song. I am blessed to hear her voice. Au natural.

[@thomasnovia9828]

it never ends with angelina does it AMR. she Never disappoints. Its amazinghpw you read her singing and her meaning.. your insights on our angel are spot on,always, TY for all you do for our angel

[@anngorgone8464]

She's another Mozart. A genius i n childhood. r

[@markkleckner3060]

Great reaction and it was "Million Miles" and no Auto Tune was used! It sounded like it, but when you watch her July concert where she performed it, she hits the note and there is no Auto Tune, it's live just like the Studio version was. She is big in the scandinavian countries and as Avicii, Alan Walker was very aware of the talent of Angelina Jordan. Now since the age of 12, more than ever, the U.S. music industry is very aware of A.J. and what she has to offer, God Bless!

[@wayneraynal8487]

Actually I think there is One song where a bit of Autotune ( Or an other electronic effect) was added to her vocal ...probably after the fact and \perhaps without her knowledge. The EDM tune "Above the Water". Listen to her vocal near the end of the song and you can hear t. Nowhere else in her catalog have I heard any trace of it.

[@markkleckner3060]

I can buy that, for she was not involved in the Production, God Bless!@@wayneraynal8487

[@Bustefaen]

@@wayneraynal8487I am kind of dumbfounded as to why this is such an issue to some people. If there is one singer in the history of singing that doesn’t NEED autotune to sing in key, it is Angelina Jordan. But she doesn’t NEED reverb either, and she definitely doesn’t need the reverb to be dynamically altered during a song. Yet, that is what they (and she, as a co-producer) did on «Now I’m the Fool». Why? Simply because it sounds better - or at least it sounds like she wants it to sound. (Another example: As one of the best guitar players ever, Eddy Van Halen didn’t NEED to use distortion on his guitars, it just sounded better for most of the band’s tunes.) To my ears, there is some autotune used in the live-in-studio version of «Million Miles» and also once in «All My Fault» on the new EP. «Above the Water» is much more a sampling effect, but quite possibly some autotune as well. If not, Angelina is mimicking the autotune effect, which I don’t put beyond her at all. In any case, fhe distinctive autotune effect is audibly there. And if we can hear it, Angelina most definitely can, which means she wants it to be like that. For a lot of Angelina’s songs, autotune would sound horrible because of all the glissando she uses going both up and down. (It pretty much wrecks Michael Buble for me for this exact reason.) But in some, it could be a cool effect. And nothing more.

[@wayneraynal8487]

@@BustefaenWe Agree completely that Angelina does not "need" Autotune! I I agree that Electronic effects when used by the Artist to get a particular sound is okay as an occassional accent. OR in certain styles of music (Notably EDM and some Hip=hop offerings) What most people object to is when it (or more often, Pitch correction) is used to "clean up" the vocal instead of letting the natural sound through . They perceive it as "Cheating". I will have to listen to All My Fault, as I didn't notice it...I'll give it a more careful listen! as for Million Miles I don't think so. I've tried to listen for the distinctive "hollow whistle" sound and hear nothing like it...I will admit however that at 60+ years and hundreds of Rock & Roll shows my "high-end" hearing is not what it once was!

[@erikcouvret]

In this song (but in most) she is as close to an angel as one can be! So pure, so sincere! It makes it beautiful and brings me to tears everytime! Very happy with your words, Arab man! And you are right, she sings perfect without autotune!! And aside of that; her voice is extremely warm and rich. There is no reason to criticize her with that at all! Only short-sighted people say things like that!

[@ClandOp]

Maybe the most underappreciated cover AJ has ever done -- one of my favorites. The repetition during the coda of "I didn't know I was lost" is haunting given the circumstances. The perfect eulogy.

[@AngelaHandley-m3v]

Angelina is a gift from god, she’s here for us to hear, Even the greats gone passed listen to her.

[@JaapFilius]

One way or the other Angelina is always successful in 'putting a spell on us' with every song she sings, no matter if it is a rearranged cover or an orginal song. And this song is no exception. She has that unique gift to get it right every time for herself and for us, the audience. I call it a 'a gift', because to me she is producing music at a level which is beyond 'just having talent'.

[@jimdonaldson5134]

Many say that Angelina is an old soul and that her musicality is a reflection of her developmental talents from a distant past. It would stand to reason that Angelina is also able to tap into the emotional components from those past experiences. Your show is always top shelf. Thank you.

[@hdctx]

Angelina's ability to shift our focus to the emotional essence of a tune is otherworldly. And she does it over and over and over.

[@annc9660]

So sad...So Beautiful.....

[@Joseph-i1t]

Where else can you get so much beauty with less. One Angel and one instrument. Never have you gotten so much with less. You are left wondering where you are. Or have been. And wipe away tears

[@bockviken]

One of the biggest arena in my hometown Stockholm Sweden The Globe is now called the Avcii Arena. I hope AJ will perform there one day.

[@DonaldLancon]

In March 2018, shortly after Angelina moved to the U.S., leaving behind all of her close friends and probably a significant portion of her extended family in Europe, her grandfather died and a week later she released "Always on My Mind", dedicated to him. Then the following month Avicii died by suicide, leading to this tribute. The following year, in November 2019, her other grandfather died from cancer, prompting her to write "Million Miles". Again, the following month an adult friend (at least a "family friend"), Norwegian writer and artist Ari Behn, died by suicide, leading to a tribute in which Angelina played guitar and sang the SHAED song "Trampoline".

[@royperkins9176]

The best reaction to this song I have ever seen. I could not have stated my personal reaction any better and they are my feelings. Another powerful stripped down song at 12 is her “Always On My Mind” tribute to her grandfather within very shor time of his passing. Thanks

[@CH-rs3sp]

This made me cry😓 We miss you Avicci ❤️🇸🇪

[@jefftofte9419]

Angelina is truly a gifted storyteller, even from such a young age.

[@williambilljones2684]

She radiates warmth, love, truth, sincerity, joy, and soy many words and feelings. They're going to have to come up with a whole new category of words for the positive effects she has on everyone hearing her. I've heard so many wonderful singers in my 78 years, but never anything like AJ. What a gift she has and which God sent down here, we don't deserve her but I'm so glad we go her. Beauty and out, there just isn't anything fake, she is the real deal.

[@alanwitty1665]

Shalom, she is my favorite singer

[@OleOlson121]

I love this performance so much. Avicii was special to Angelina. As young as she is, Angelina has experienced a lot of loss. Grandfather, Avicii, Priscilla Presley and her tributes are always emotional. ♥👣

[@janewilliamson3130]

The emotion she is able to evoke at such a young age is more than amazing. The ones from American Idol and Million miles are other very thought provoking arrangements and how she puts such feeling at her young age. And there are so many more songs. ❤❤❤

[@comartse]

Thank you for your reaction to Angelina's marvelous interpretation of this song. It was so touching.

[@RoguishlyHandsome]

A child reinterpreting this song in this way is simply extraordinary.

[@ClaudioMarcucci7756]

Beautiful and thoughtful reaction. This interpretation, like other similar "inventions" of Angelina, are very personal to her and are part of what makes her an anomalous artist, if not unique, in terms of talent and musical imagination. Her slow and sweet reading of this song is the fruit of her personal use of the song, she transforms it into her dedication to her friend Avicii after he dead.💛🧡❤

[@omidhope7456]

People who ask where her impact full emotional performances come from, Angelina has experienced some devastating tragedies in her life as a child. This is another emotional performance by the Barefoot Angel mourning the death of her friend. If you notice the beautiful colors of her flower crown, it conveys a message that life is beautiful and worth living.

[@reneeville]

She was born to sing, and she was born to seeing for us who hear the music. Great reaction, all your reactions are good, but bless you for joining the rest of us angels…

[@alberttenfoot]

Hi, Arab Man! Thank you for the most thoughtful and heart-warming reaction to Angelina's tribute to Avicii I have ever watched - and I've seen every one of them. Yes, I hope that Angelina will consider an album of cover songs ,sometime in the future. No! Let me amend that. Several albums of cover songs.

[@leamsilopez7451]

I can't listen to this cover without tears in my eyes. I can feel the profound depth of her soul in each lyric. It's absolutely a "goodbye" song. But that's Angelina and her amazingly simplistic, yet emotive interpretations. She is inspiring. Thank you for another great reaction my friend.

[@derekmaddox7236]

I hear this song sung by Angelina, and realize that (at that time) she was on the cusp of leaving childhood behind and becoming a young adult. I hear a bit of longing to not have to deal with the weight of her grief, but realizing that she must. She's trying to carry the weight, but only has two young hands. "Wake me up when it's all over, when I'm wiser and I'm older." Don't make me deal with this right now. But not only does she put her own raw emotions into this song, she creates a brand new version of it that all of us can turn to in times of pain and grief. Just as she says in "Million Miles", as long as we remember our departed they aren't really gone and their love hasn't died. Isn't it amazing what we can all learn from a 12 year old girl?

[@alienblog4717]

I admire your honest deep admiration of Angelina's incredible talent. You totally get her! Beautiful reaction, Boudy! Keep them coming!

[@dharmabum9119]

Yes, indeed. A respectful and poignant tribute to her friend; a reshaping of one of his biggest songs into something completely different- when she was 12. It really leaves you speechless. Did you also notice how her usually cheery "bye" at the end was pure melancholy...

[@johnbattles1002]

Yes, that sad "bye" at the end squeezed a small river out of my tear ducts. She is so incredibly tenderhearted and compassionate!

[@geoffreynorth9046]

Yes: I love this one - but that "bye" at the end is so melancholic, so different to her usual cheery goodbyes :( But so appropriate.

[@peterhormell1511]

Your reaction is so PERFECT. I have always thought it would be excellent to do back-to-back reactions to these two versions. I have long commented that Avicii’s version is like an song for people who march to the beat of a different drummer. An “Iconoclast’s anthem.” In Angelina’s inimical way she has transformed Avicii’s song into something totally different… a lament for her dear friend. I like your take. It IS now… a song for sad goodbyes. Thank you for reacting to this, and for willingly and publicly being so moved by Angelina’s otherworldly voice. 🎶💔❤️‍🩹👣

Do you say that Yo Yo Ma "covers" Bach's cello partitas or Miles "covered" Autumn Leaves. They bring them to life. I love her original music but I love her singing great songs of all genres and times as well.

This is gorgeous, and tugs at the heart. Funny- when I first heard it, I wondered why everyone looked so happy dancing when it was about a sad, lost soul! Now it’s like we know that he was trying to cover pain with happy music and dancing. But Angelina sooths us with this heartfelt tribute, interpreting his soul- and he’s truly awake now that his “ lost-ness” in life is all over, and he’s at true peace!! NOW!! Take your own advice, and , as you admonished us all before, go listen to “ What A Difference a Day Makes!” -A few times!! As you said, “ I PROMISE you!!! Whatever is wrong- if you’re ever sad- just listen to this a few times, and everything will be all right!!”

Avicii asked Angelina to record Feelin' Good, for Volvo's World-wide commercial. When the executives at Volvo found out it was a little girl that recorded it, they nixed the idea because they didn't want a 10 yo, who can't even drive yet, singing their commercial. So he got another singer to do it & I can't remember her name. I don't know if it's true, but some fans think that a small portion of the song in the commercial is Angelina. I wouldn't be surprised if he mixed her in the finished product just to stick it to the "Suits" at Volvo. There is definitely a part of the song that, to me, sounds exactly like her. The guitarist is Ivan Mendez, so this is another of her "Magical" song transformations she did at home on the fly, probably in 1 take. Very heartfelt reaction, her tributes always make me tear up, so don't feel bad.

[@davidtouma4878]

The song was Feelin’ Good. The version that they used was by Audra Mae who previously collaborated with Avicii.

Beyond pridigy and genius is hard to describe.. i think it is much more than emition. The opening paragraph of her book, 'Bet was een Tso Hearts' has ideas and word that should be impossible for a 6 year old. It was something like meeting this poor girl on a street corner while on vacation opened a staircase to heaven.

Auto-Tune is primarily an effect like Vocoder, it was introduced in late 90’s and Cher made the effect popular with the song Believe. Like Cher, Angelina has the ability to accurate riff and run through notes with or without glissando and make the effect sound good.

[@pjg58x]

I agree. No autotune needed. I’m not even sure it was used in the instance referenced. The only time I can think of that it may have been used would be in the EDM song Above the Water but since she was just a guest vocalist she probably had no say in what the producers did with her voice.

[@ronjones1077]

When this song first came out it was played way too often, and I was sick of it. At 12 years old Angelina completely changed the song into one of my favorites. Just like Suspicious Minds, it became a different song with substance. Avicii was a DJ and after achieving success Volvo car company worked with him for an advertisement. He wanted 10-year-old Angelina to sing Feeling Good, but Volvo thought a young girl who didn't drive was wrong for the part.

[@ericzeichert511]

Almost every song she covers is a tribute to a deceased artist, and thank you for the history of this particular song. Whether it's Jay Hawkins on a candle, a tribute to Lisa Marie Presley, an homage to Eva Cassidy, or an Amy Winehouse classic, she pays special tribute to all those artists who paved the way for her, and NOBOBY does it better, or in a more heartfelt emotional way. RIP Avicii. As for autotune, you are spot on! Angelina uses it not a a crutch or tourniquet for bad vocals, bot as a useful tool for her craft. Like American painter Bob Ross created masterpeice landsacpes with a putty knife, and called it "painting".

[@davedawson7825]

Love this tribute to him sm. He did get Angie to do the vocals for Feeling Good on a Volvo commercial he made. In the final cut they used someone else, not sure why.

[@kristena9285]

What I've heard is that Volvo, when they found out one of their "hired employees" was a 10 year old, they pulled out because, as an international car manufacturer they did'nt want to be connected with "child labour"... (Doesn't matter so much when producing car batteries using lithium mined by child slaves in the third world though.. another matter entirely)..

[@davidtouma4878]

The information that I have is that Volvo executive were not comfortable having a 10 years old who is too young to drive, promoting their cars. They opted to go with Audra Mae instead.

[@annea9874]

I have never criticized any of her choices but I do prefer the purity of just her voice with an acoustic guitar. When she sings that way there is nothing to distract me from the beauty of her voice with all the inflections, etc., and lyrics seem to take on a deeper meaning.

[@boz352]

Truly beautiful and heart wrenching performance by a beautiful caring young lady.

[@elmarwinkler6335]

Capstan is correct, Miss Angelina went through tough times. In 2018, she lost An acquaintance, her dear friend Avici and her paternal Grandpa, in 2019 she lost her maternal japanese Grandpa, and in 2020 she almost lost Mery Zamany. In her younger years, she witnessed poverty, hate, jealousy, as well as great hearts that would give away their last food for a guest. I have witnessed such things too. This woman has seen much more in her short life than normal people will see in their whole life. And don´t tell me again that I am lying (Thats for the trolls). To be this hopeful and humble with so much talent, is humbling me. Boudy and company, stay safe and happy. Elmar from Germany

In this AMR AJM episode, we have ANGIE 🙂 and AVICII 😥; T O D A Y, T E A R S A R E G U A R A N T E E D . . . The circumstances surrounding the tragic end of AVICII's life are Sad. I will simply place here the statement his family released regarding their beloved Son, TIM BERGLING (a.k.a. Avicii) : " Our beloved Tim was a seeker, a fragile artistic soul searching for answers to existential questions. An over-achieving perfectionist who travelled and worked hard at a pace that led to extreme stress. When he stopped touring, he wanted to find a balance in life to be able to be happy and to do what he loved most - music. He really struggled with thoughts about Meaning, Life, Happiness. He could now not go on any longer. He wanted to find peace. Tim was not made for the business machine he found himself in; he was a sensitive guy who loved his fans but shunned the spotlight. Tim, you will forever be loved and sadly missed. The person you were and your music will keep your memory alive. We love you, The Family " . Avicii's family launched a mental illness and suicide prevention foundation, named after the late DJ, the ' Tim Bergling Foundation '. The foundation works internationally and aims to educate people and businesses on the issues surrounding suicide and mental health. The foundation also works to tackle climate change, manage business development, and conserve endangered species, all things Avicii cared deeply about. Many Tributes poured in from Artists and Fans alike from all over the WORLD and many Concerts were (and still today) held featuring Avicii's songs; in most cases, ALL Profits raised is poured into the Family's ' Tim Bergling Foundation '. R.I.P. Tim 😥 thank you Angelina . . . Cry not my / OUR Love. AMR : if you agree, Please pin this for all to see.

Word is the two worked together on a Volvo commercial. The final spot didnt feature her voice though for whatever reason. The LP due for later this year will include only originals, I understand including the songs fro the EP. If you need a good cry try checking out her original "Million Miles", that one regularly brings grown up hardened men to tears. She said loosing her grandpa felt like a hole in her heart and she makes you feel that level of hurt there.

I just do love these reactions you do and I absolutely agree I love her singing and always she makes you just feel sooo good thank you so much your channel is my favourite 😊

Avici had indeed planned to help Angelina. In fact he was in the process of doing a volvo commercial and angelina was to do the song feeling good in the background. Unfortunately he was struggling more than people realized and was not able to continue his journey. You can see and hear her love for him. After his passing volvo went with someone else and a different singer sadly

The commercial was released in May 2015, while he passed only in April 2018.

Great Reaction and Analysis 👍🙏👣

Avicii did a sales video for Volvo and wanted Angelina to sing the background for it and while she recorded the song Volvo decided to go with a singer they had used before.
