This song is so good! Vocal Coach reacts to Angelina Jordan singing "Now I'm the Fool"

[@BarrySowder]

Bethany, you asked what Angelina's goals are for her career. At her recent Portsmouth, NH concert I was in the audience as she said "My mission is to spread love and kindness to the world." She is now experimenting with styles that fit her but also reach a wide audience so she can fulfill that heartfelt mission truly worldwide. 🙏

[@RaulDiazPaloAlto]

I was also at the concert in Portsmouth and agree with you completely. I just want to add how incredible it is to listen to her live. Her voice… the power, the range, the subtlety, the warmth, the emotion… I am still mesmerized over a week later.

[@TheBlaster54]

When seven year old Angelina was Involved in the Norway’s Got Talent contest she was asked what she wanted to do in her life. She said her dream is to be super star.

[@FlameCold258]

Thanks for your reaction! She is only 17 years old today and from Norway. She signed with the label Republic Records just 14 years old, I think we can safely leave the promotion to Republic Record. Marketing will start when her full album is released later this year. There's only one EP with 6 songs she's released from RR now, and they haven't started marketing until the full album is released!. Republic Records know 100% what they are doing? I think a lot of people don't realize how much Angelina has done in her short life (17). She performed FIFA AWARD song, and performed in front of 40 000 people only 11 years old invited by Norah Jones. She was also specially invited by Quincy Jones to perform on his 85th birthday in the O2 arena / London. And so on goes the list... She has over 250 songs on KZbin with cover songs and many originals. Angelina also plays piano and guitar. The truth is that within a year or two she will be the artist for the big occasions. and not a "bare belly plastic artist" who tops a list for a week and is forgotten just as quickly. She already eats most female vocalists for breakfast, and the label Republic Records and the rest of the music industry know that too! Angelina Jordan has nothing to prove. When she sometimes belts is it because the fits in the performances. She sings to us only she can do!

[@andyschnell58]

Angelina's family has been consistent, wanting to wait until she is old enough to make ALL the decisions for her career. We have no idea when that time will come and should cherish these times when Angelina has plenty of time to write new songs and hopefully put together a band she can practice with and feel comfortable with, like the one for her concerts in Norway last summer. I loved the concert in Portsmouth, but it was clear Angelina and her band needed more practice. I believe Republic had nothing to do with that concert and am sure Angelina and her team will learn a lot from the experience.

[@michaelserkey6951]

I heard her for the first time yesterday. I am blown away. My daughter-in-law sings behind Joe Bonamassa. Jade MacRae. She was a child star in Australia. Angelina is from another planet. Her vocal control is off the chart.

[@ron4mac]

Angelina may never have the quantity and kind of fans that fill huge venues. But she will gradually touch more and more people with her love and emotional therapy. And there will be more than adequate followers to help provide her with a financially comfortable life. Her life has changed my life for the better and I will always be supportively grateful.

[@robertsilva631]

Angelina's life goal has always been to be a superstar and sing for the whole world. Her EP contains all original songs with Angelina as the principal writer. If you listen to the songs in the order they appear on the EP they tell an overall story about how Angelina currently sees herself and the world. Angelina has stated that she has written about 100 songs so far and will be sharing them when they are ready. All of her original songwriting so far is based on her own journal entries (just as her book Between Two Hearts was).

[@larrypifer1103]

Angelina has her very own recording studio close to her home in LA, a studio provided by Republic Records/Universal Music Group. Angelina goes home to Norway. In this interview for Norway TV Angelina states, "I think I have been incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to experience so many things despite my age. From being a 7-year-old girl, my biggest dream was to sing for the whole world and to spread love, and when that happened, it was truly a dream come true". This is a classic example of why she draws real people to her, people that appreciates what she is in this plastic world we have come to know. Angelina's words reveal her genuine gratitude and humility for her amazing journey as a singer and a humanitarian. She has never forgotten her roots or her passion, and she has always used her voice to uplift others and inspire positive change. She is a rare gem in the entertainment industry, where many celebrities lose their authenticity and integrity. Angelina is not afraid to be herself, and that is why she attracts loyal fans who respect and admire her for who she is. She now lives in West Hollywood, Los Angeles, where her record label Republic Records has built her own music studio. Angelina’s statement: "I feel incredibly lucky to have been signed by one of the biggest record labels in the world. I have my own studio where I make my own music. There's also going to be a lot of concerts in the future because I've released an EP. I will soon go on a world tour and play my songs; she says to TV 2.

[@andyschnell58]

Thanks for posting your comment. Angelina has 203 songs on KZbin, including 10 other originals. Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman. Angelina started singing around 18 months of age, after listening to Whitney Houston on KZbin. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was a prodigy as an artist and poet while growing up in Iran. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where starting around age 4, she had training in music but no vocal training. Her teachers were smart enough to not attempt to change what she was doing vocally. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage. *Why Angelina always performs barefoot* At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. PLEASE PURCHASE Angelina’s book from her merchandise store on her official website, angelinajordanofficial

[@carols1406]

You are in for a real treat discovering this exquisitely talented young woman. I remember how much I enjoyed going down the Angelina rabbit hole when I first heard her. Have fun!

[@RobertDeMartin]

Simply put by the end of 2024 tens of millions of listeners will discover Angelina and she will be on her way to taking over the planet. Vocally and artistically she is already at a level that separates her from the field and then when you consider 'who she is' as a humble. kind, caring and loving human being she enters the area beyond the beyond. Her purpose? She has stated the most comfortable she is in her life is to be on a stage singing 'for people' to make them happy and to feel the love in her heart which she wants to share with them. Some may ask, "Is that believable?" Well, that has to do with being genuine and if you get goosebumps, or start to tear up (with the urge to cry), or find it difficult to speak during or right after she performs, those are indications she has touched your heart with her love and, btw, once that happens your heart will never let her go. "Yes, what is going on is very believable and she wants to contribute what she can to make the world a better place to live for everyone, particularly children and the unfortunate." The EP and the album which will follow (very shortly) will touch base with the younger audience and that will be when the musical explosion will take place. And something very unique will occur. Once she entices the younger set to enjoy her music, slowly she will introduce them to her soft jazzy, soulful tones and they will begin to experience music like they've never heard before.

[@TheBlaster54]

For me, Angelina is one of the chosen ones. She is a vessel for which music channels, unrestricted, through her being. Singing and performing for Angelina is equivalent to us mere mortals just breathing. She was destined to be what and where she is.

[@FlameCold258]

Thanks for your reaction! Angelina recently had a sold-out concert in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where there was an audience from 9 different country all the way from Australia and from 39 different states in the USA. The title track of this EP "Love Don't Let Me Go" has over 3 million views in 4 months. The epic Bohemian Rhapsody has collected approx. 150 million views in 3 years. That's not bad for a 17-year-old artist. The record label will start marketing when her full album comes out later this year, with subsequent tours. PS! Angelina will always be a class artist and a future world star, and not a hit machine for 14 year old teenagers!

[@marvinboswell3820]

Agree with that completely

[@stevelloyd6940]

I agree Bethany, you have to wonder why this song/performance has not blown up. It has to be that radio, where most artists get their exposure, ONLY play the same songs/artists OVER and OVER . There must be a market for a radio station or DJs who look for new talent and give them exposure and airtime. I would listen to such a station and I am sure lots of others would to.

[@stevek5332]

NONE of the young people that I know listen to the radio...ever. They've always got their earbuds in place listening to Spotify.

[@andyschnell58]

Sadly the majority of people exist in their comfortable bubble, listening to the music they have loved for many years. New artists only explode once fully promoted and millions jump on the bandwagon. We don't know when Angelina and her family will be ready to have Republic Records fully promote her but we shouldn't be in any rush, if they aren't. We do know Republic built Angelina her own studio. Don't think many 17 year olds get that.

[@leslielabs4450]

This EP is all Angelina. In sequence, the songs weave a story. They dance through genres with an Angelina flare. For so long we have listened to her cover the work of others. And now we are hearing what she has to say. It is glorious. I don’t know where she is going to take us, but I am strapping in for the ride. Let’s go baby!!

[@lesbrunswick5137]

My non-expert understanding is that when it comes to the number of different vocal textures Angelina makes use of, and how easily she moves between them and uses them for artistic and emotional expression, Angelina is the greatest singer who has ever lived, as least as far as we know.

[@ridgemanron]

The first two songs on her new EP, being this one and 'Love Don't Let Me Go', both have an Amy Winehouse vibe to them, staying in the Jazz/R&B lane. But then Angelina veers into a multi-genre extravaganza of sound that is beyond anything she'd ever recorded before. Her lyrics are 'deep' and 'profound' throughout the EP and she applies such intricate, complex vocals that are mind boggling.

[@boz352]

Thank you, Bethany, for your return to Angelina. You have been missed. This was not the only amazing song sung by Angelina on the EP, you'll find the other five equally amazing, all written, or co-written, by Angelina, no covers. She has her group of loyal fans, most of us older, and most of us having watched her journey starting around age six thru today. I think she will have the whole world at some point...just not yet. I adore this young lady--her singing, of course (no one touches me like she does, to the point of just seeing her picture and instant tears). I suspect Republic will not start fully promoting her until after her 18th birthday (the 10th of January), and perhaps not until the full release of her LP, which will also be all new songs, but to include these six. I look forward to watching your reviews of the remaining five songs on the EP, and am absolutely positive you will be equally impressed with each and every one of them.

[@mikehaun5690]

Agree.

[@ronraskind]

The main reason it has so few views I believe is that it has not been promoted by Republic Records yet. Angelina has a full album coming before the end of the year which she says will include these songs from her EP. World tour is also planned. I think at that point Republic will begin promoting, at least I hope so. The song is fire but more people need to know that it exists.

Hi Bethany. Thanks for another brilliant reaction. Once again your analysis is beautifully presented and you make it fun as well as seriously professional. ( Personal disclosure - - I've been hooked on you since your reactions to Stan Walker, a national treasure here in Aotearoa New Zealand ! ) I have been addicted to Angelina for a long time, and wonder if this song hasn't had more views because you, and many other reactors are so interesting and inciteful that people would just as happily view reaction videos like yours. Anywho, as a low-down, dirty, sultry, smokey Blues fanatic, I would love to hear your reaction to the Prince song " How Come You Don't Call Me Anymore ", by Alice Fredenham, who stunned the judges on BGT ten years ago with " My Funny Valentine ", ( also a good reaction candidate ! ) Thanks Bethany, you are beautiful !!

[@2filos]

My favorite duet: Angelina & Bethany. As you say, his entire Ep should have 10 times more views. We are waiting for a more aggressive promotion from Republic Records (UMG) which has not happened yet. We know through Angelina that they are preparing an international tour but I think we will have to wait until next year for it to explode on the top list. Thanks Beth! We love you.

[@ripmcmanus773]

I've been living under a rock, so your reaction is my first time hearing Angelina...wow! And only 17??? Not sure how many views she had when you reacted, but I'm seeing almost 800K in 3 months, which seems strong, and this song is so good I'm sure she'll be in the multiple millions soon. Channeling Amy Winehouse, but that's just me...a huge Amy Winehouse fan, and now a huge Angelina Jordan fan. Thanks for your great reactions and for expanding my horizons!

[@ClandOp]

Bethany, thanks (as always!) for your outstanding reaction. I think the issue of why AJ is not more "popular" is enormously complicated. I was at the Portsmouth concert, and AJ asked that everyone stand up, "come up front" and gather around her. That was very much at odds with the venue's idea of how concerts work. Basically, I think her career thus far is at odds with how the industry works in general -- and it seems that she and her family are okay, at this point, with that. AJ's mother (Sara) seemed genuinely astonished that people would fly in from 27 states and a dozen countries to see her daughter -- and after all this time, I'm not sure that anything but isolation from the industry could create that impression. I told Sara that I thought AJ was one of the most naturally gifted singers on the planet, and she seemed literally astonished that AJ could fill a 1k-seat venue.

[@pjg58x]

Loved your reaction. I agree that this song is so good and should have more views. There could be a few reasons. This song, as well as the entire EP is available for download and streaming so those listens may be taking away from views. A lot of Angelina’s previous releases such as Suspicious Minds were video only so KZbin was the only way to listen. Also since this is part of a 6 song EP, the listens/views may be split amongst the songs. One of the big reasons is there still hasn’t really been any publicity or marketing for Angelina yet. Many reactors when listening to songs from the EP didn’t even realize that it was released so only us fans are really in tune with her career. Love Don’t Let Me Go is also on the EP and has over 3 million views however it was released early, about 2-1/2 months before the full EP. Since it was a stand alone reslease at the time fans probably listened to that one song over and over again, racking up the listens and views. Hopefully these EP songs get the views, listens and recognition they really deserve. They are tfat good. Maybe the real publicity push will happen when her full album is released, apparently later this year.

[@paulwagner9303]

You might be right about streaming. Every EP song that doesn't have a music video has twice as many streams on Spotify as views on YT - but that doesn't help much, because that means both together only count 350,000 each. The EP is virtually invisible on streaming services - it's not listed anywhere in the top 200/300 except AppleMusic (at #143 in Norway). It's completely understandable that Sara was amazed at 900 tickets sold in Portsmouth. I hope the reason is, not being of legal age and things change after January 10th. The lack of any kind of promotion is obvious and the consequences of this are no surprise.

[@pjg58x]

When the EP was released Angelina commented that her team was working day and night to promote it. I don’t think her team necessarily includes Republic Records since she is basically independent. So what kind of promotion was actually done is a mystery. She also said that Republic would be looking at streams, especially Spotify, to promote it. Have no idea how record company promotion works but that seems a little backwards. I just know that I never saw any announcement at all about the EP on the Republic website. Seems strange.

[@marshawolfe2948]

And I noticed 2 all the comments on here. Nobody agrees or have said anything that this should have millions of views. I'm disappointed in the fans I'm supporting her 100%.

You're always so "aware" of all the nuances in her voice, and how they are intricately joined together to produce the "magic"...oh, and "goosebumps", too! 😂 I wonder how the "View's" are compiled, because her FIRST video from the EP, "Love Don't Let Me Go" showed up as #1, Spotify, but in Europe, there was a huge impact??? She just did her 1st Live concert in the USA back east, a smaller venue, but it was a sellout..one of those who attended put together a map, indicating where people traveled from to come see her, and it was amazing, Europe, And FARTHER "east", Australia, it was just amazing. I think Republic Records is really taking time to bring her along, she'll be 18 in Jan coming up, perhaps then she'll start touring...in a way I respect they've taken their time, just like wine, patience and loving care are required when you have a delectable, unique, beautiful talented artist!?

[@larrypifer1103]

Angelina Jordan is The Sound Of Music. Angelina Jordan is a remarkable vocal artist that possesses a rare talent: she has a photographic memory for sound. This means that she can recall and reproduce any sound she hears with perfect accuracy and pitch. She applies this skill to her musical performances, especially when she covers songs by other vocal artists. She does not merely imitate them, but rather uses their voices as inspiration and reference points for her own unique interpretations. She can capture the essence and emotion of any song, while adding her own flair and style to it. There is a difference between a good singer and a great singer. A good singer can capture the moment, but a great singer can transform the moment into ART. ART is not just a representation of reality, but an expression of vision. ART should always transcend the ordinary, and Angelina Jordan accomplishes this in every performance. © Larry D. Pifer

Angelina can emulate any sound created by other artist but one thing seems to be true is that she is making it very difficult for others to emulate her. The uniqueness yet complicated style she sings you do not hear in artists today. Not many people pay much attention nor understand the beauty in that a lone.

[@AvilaDreamer]

Hey Bethany - one of the things I love so much about your reactions is that despite how deep and incredibly technical you can be (on the logic/how side), you are often also incredibly moved by what you hear and see (on the emotional/experience side). I love that amazing balance in you. When you react to Angelina, she seems to flip you to your emotional side and at times (even if just for a few bars or phrases) you get stuck there. Haha And it's soooo validating to watch some one as experienced and capable as you get truly sucked into Angelina. It's sooo relatable. This EP of hers is ridiculously good. This song, while it is so lovely to see an official video while hearing it (imo) is not the best song on the EP. I think many would say "Diamond" is their favorite (it's mine - at the moment), but I've also seen and experienced that people's favorite song changes depending on mood and how each song hits you at the moment. You need to hear all six of these songs (initially in order of how they have been arranged on the EP). Even if you don't react to all of them on your channel - you owe it to yourself (as an Angel) to listen to this whole EP and then put it on repeat. You will be amazed even more... Thank you for your incredible reactions! I love learning and re-sharing musical experiences with you. Peace! 🥰

[@pjg58x]

It actually really depends on who you ask which is the best song on the EP. I have heard each of the 6 songs being someone’s favorite. I personally can’t pick a favorite but my top 3 are probably Love Don’t Let Me Go, Now I’m the Fool and Diamond.

[@omarsoliman2355]

It's so unbelievably great in so many different directions, it almost defies mere words. She is OUTRAGEOUSLY talented. Stunning!!! Shocking!!!

[@CarlD70]

Thank you Bethany....love this reaction and your appreciation for what this young lady can do with her masterful vocals. You are probably correct about what other people may hear when she sings and likely do not hear all the techniques, nuances, and mastery of her voice that set her way way apart from other "artists". Lot of wonderful "singers" on the planet but there are very very few vocal artists in this young lady's 'lane' if you know what I mean. Many of her fans have been listening to Angelina for many years now, have heard Vocal Coaches such as yourself proclaim basically the same things you have said about Angelina many times. Thanks for returning to Angelina, always enjoy your views and comments. ❤❤

[@ClaudioMarcucci7756]

Thank you Bethany, your (rare 😢) analyzes with Angelina are always wonderful, attentive and very correct. I absolutely love them all, please, even just for your pleasure, also listen to the other 5 songs on her EP, they are so unique, multifaceted and fascinating that you would lose so much beauty by not listening to them.💛🧡❤

[@cm0355]

Thanks for the reaction to our angel Angelina...She is simply the best...❤

[@marczeitlin4165]

Yep, that is one of life's big mysteries ,

[@JimmyRJump]

Absolutely not my genre, but damn, that voice. That way of singing. Love it.

[@edschultheis9537]

You should check out some of her 200+ covers and originals on KZbin... Different genres, but always excellent. You really can miss on your picks.

[@geniej9093]

Appreciate your analysis.

[@livingLge]

Great reaction! None of us really understand why she isn't chart busting, but it has a lot to do with the fact that Republic Records hasn't started really properly promoting her yet. It is likely that they are waiting for her to turn 18 and also for her full album at the end of this year. And why haven't you reacted to the whole EP yet??? Every song is this good!

[@carolynhess3812]

This is a original too. Amazing.

[@wngimageanddesign9546]

This girl's voice is like a force of nature. So raw, so emotional, and so soulful.

[@adelinaacero]

I really was surprised in a good way about my reaction on every words and expressions you are using to describe this beautiful song an interesting song very much worthy to become a future «James Bond» songz I love the idea. Even the video itself is tremendously good. I love it so much too. Thank you Angelina☕️🍁🍃🧟‍♀️*️⃣🔹🆒🖤

[@albertstern1945]

I always love your Angelina reactions. Did not realize I did not Sub. Done This reaction is probably one of the greatest reactions to Angelina by anyone. Very very well done and I agree, shocking how few views this song has.

[@WilliamArmstrong-jq9uk]

Las Vegas, you can’t see it now so I’ve been blocked but it was a massive song she’s a DiNacy river, beautiful strong performance another song she did this great she’s on she’s becoming an international send an artist You got her star on Hollywood walk of fame at age of 17

[@jokerrhe]

out of this world... my soul hurts too shit but in a good way lol wowzers

[@keithserafy]

Perfect reaction, loved it! Thanks. My fav from the EP.

[@elainejames5426]

Angelina is on her way to something epic.

[@Nevelepride]

Thank you 🙏 for a wonderful reaction! Yes this song is so stunning good by her! 👌💎💫❤️

[@cazziefores2183]

I always enjoy watching your reactions to our barefoot princess... Love and light from across the pond xxx 🙏👌🥰😘🇬🇧

[@rongotwalt4487]

She is Angelina Jordan and as she has stated she sings to bring love and kindness to the world ! Her love and sincere compassion is so evident in her vocals ! Her breathy, raspy and fabulous vibrato are entrenched in her DNA from her jazz infused childhood ! Like they say Angelina could sing the phone book and make her own and sound fantastic every time ! Thanks Bethany for continuing your journey with our beautiful barefoot princess as it is so much appreciated ! Keep posting my friend ! Much love from Canada ! 👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️

[@lars-thorenesheim9637]

Wonderful reaction, wait until you have listened to her song Diamond on the same EP.

[@mldkenny]

Fantastic reaction been waiting for you to do this wonderful and amazing song, I think it is my favourite one of hers, but the rest of the EP truly is stunning. Most of my favourite music is soul from the late 60's and through the 70's ( Motownt and Philly ) but Angelina individual style is making me forget many classics of the past as with AJ she is making new classics! How she doesn't get more views is a mystery unless some of potential new fans believe she always in the past aimed for the more mature market with old jazz covers etc but surely that is now about to change?? I purchased a AJ T-Shirt for my 8 year old granddaughter hoping she will spread the world. ( I'm in the UK )

[@zeuso.1947]

I love her unique breathy vocal fry vibrato she ends phrases with.

[@sandyleewhite]

💙💙💙 *Angelina's voice, literally makes my skin crawl, in the best way possible* 💙💙💙

[@zoeminelson8565]

For me this song, Fire and rain and of course Love dont let me go, are the most incredible, the sentiment she is conveying omg

[@markkleckner3060]

Awesome reaction to a Brilliant Song and Performance, God Bless!

[@stevek5332]

Wonderful, wonderful, reaction...again! I love what you do and how you do it. 😍Thanks!

[@user-ch4ex3yy4l]

I love insightful reactors that have something to teach us. I also love the ones that react with joy, astonishment and pleasure. You have both. Thank you!

[@BootGal]

I've been waiting for you to do this one. I love your responses.

[@meirsaadon941]

Thanks for your reaction. You are right about the gap between the quality of her vocal and singing and the amount of people consuming that. It is hard to people to move from food street, as good as it can be, to a gourmet restaurant. Angelina is elite gourmet chef of music.

[@MichaelAmis-te2md]

This video was so hot that the fire department had to respond to the studio no kidding! There new smoke machine set off the smoke detectors! Two videos showing it. Her vocals are top notch and her stage presence is outstanding!

[@beachbumseaglass]

This was a GREAT reaction. You say alot of good things. Angelina has way more views on KZbin than it shows. I have screenshots over time to prove it. Thanks for your lovely reaction. 👍❤️

[@alflund6144]

I also don't understand why there are not more views of this video. I love jazz music and AJ sings better than anyone else that I know of who is still living, however I am old. When trying to introduce AJ to younger people, the best I get is "She is OK". But why? I am still looking for an answer.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

Alison Krauss "Ghost In This House"... The voice of an angel 😇

[@MICHAELASHER.]

I love this so much, she's her most animated! Ten times the views? Absolutely!!!!!

[@GrannysWanderingSpirit]

Hi Bethany. You'll find if you stay in order on the EP, she really is purposely demonstrating her abilities and showing all the directions she might go. I think you will enjoy it. Lovely reaction, as always. Thank you.

[@pjg58x]

True. I think listening to the EP in order is the best way to go. At least the first time.

[@Ca55per]

Every time I see Angelina Jordan, I remember her doing Gloomy Sunday as a 7 year old. She never fails to surprise me!

[@poolhallshark]

Hello, Bethany 🙂 I somehow missed this video until now, but I really have to thank you for an absolutely GREAT reaction! I really hope to see you react to some more from her EP, because all the 6 songs are absolute fire. My personal favorite is called Good In Goodbyes, and I am sure that YOU will love it as well 😉 Have a great weekend! Love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

[@19mati67]

Your face expressions were priceless.

[@marshawolfe2948]

Great reaction but I totally agree with you. That song should have millions of views. I don't get it, where are all her fans? She is the best new young vocalist ever. And I'm very disappointed with her fans that they have not watch this video. Like I said, it should have millions of views. I watched it over 100 times so she could get. Tons of views I love her so much❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@andyschnell58]

I learned of Angelina 3.5 years ago and been very active here on KZbin supporting her. Since Angelina created her own versions of so many classic songs from decades past, her fan base is quite old. The last 4 songs on her EP have very few views, since they have a modern production sound. I love every one of them but sadly many of her older fans don't agree. Angelina is so diverse with her music and that can pose a challenge for how to best promote her. We have learned she has written over 100 songs, so she could easily release 2 albums per year, once promoted. Just my opinion, she should have albums where all the songs would appeal to those who love a certain genre. We shall see.

[@marshawolfe2948]

@andyschnell58 A lot of her fans are older men that don't agree with some of her songs and I guarantee you. She will change her music up to attract the younger viewers. And then later on in life, she'll go back to sir jazzy. Basically, older songs like of her covers, but her own songs. Her followers are too hard on her, and it's the men. They need to chill out because she will change up her music and I don't blame her.

[@marshawolfe2948]

@andyschnell58 And it's too bad if they agree or not, it's her life, and she will live it as need to. She's a free-spirited, beautiful young women. And she's definitely the boss of her destiny And if she loses fans, oh, well, because it's the older men they have to accept her cause she's got a long life to live. It's aggravaiding when I see About heard or music by the older men. And I'm gonna continue to say that all I can say get Over it

[@andyschnell58]

@@marshawolfe2948 Thanks for your comments and I will always be 100% behind whatever Angelina chooses to sing since I believe her message of hope and love and empathy will never change.

[@JimJack-ng9yi]

Where are all her fans, they are in wheelchairs and walkers. That's who her fans are

[@richardfranz3180]

Her tone and your Bond reference take me back to Shirley Bassey singing "Goldfinger". It made a lasting impression on that 13 year old. Same as AJ now.

[@marshawolfe2948]

There's absolutely no excuse for this. Not to be a number one song and her fans need to get their s*** together. This is the best song on the EP.

[@DavidMootoo-gv9by]

I love the way she has stayed true to herself over all these years,does not serve to pop success and mediocrity.

[@srudine]

This song takes me back to the '60's. The black & white video sets the stage. She reminds me of Haley Reinhart singing Creep with Post Modern Jukebox among other covers Haley has done. Have you covered PMJ's Mad World yet? I can't recall. Thank you Bethany!
