Unchained Melody Angelina Jordan Reaction | with Kork at Nobel Peace Prize

[@dennisharnish9063]

Her greatness just glows. I think she is like a female version of Elvis. I hope she becomes that famous.

[@nancywilson9380]

Angelina had requested changes to the music and sent a message of thanks to the conductor and orchestra for trusting her. At the end, the conductor watches for her signal to end the music in perfect time with her singing. The orchestra also joins the audience in applauding her performance❤

[@RobertDeMartin]

Pontus, it's a wonder how you can stay away from something like this so that you can do it as a first time listen. I'm sure you've seen pictures of her how she was dressed for the performance and that, alone, had to raise your eyebrows. First of all a big 'Thank You' to James for putting this together. He works tirelessly on his Angelina projects and he will be the first to tell you it is a labor of love. You can rightfully assume I've seen this video (the official video of the Ceremony performance) well over 100 times already and when I watch it with a reactor I get emotional as if it's the first time I've seen it. As I'm typing this I'm listening to your video again and you are so right when you stated it is incredible to believe how she has been focused on her future starting at, what, 2 years old!?!?!?!?!? Pontus, music and Angelina are synonymous and she is, through song, our Messenger of Love. When we hear her speak with her soft tones it is so beautiful but there is also a strength within her which will guide her and always keep her connected to us. Take care.

[@zeljkoguber]

Only way to describe perfect song is: Even Angelina Jordan cannot improve this. - I honestly think that there is no way to make this any better - she reached perfection.

[@TheBlaster54]

Pontus, at nine years of age Angelina wrote her book, “Between Two Hearts”. At seventeen years of age she sang a song that was between her heart, Narges’ heart, her children’s and the whole world’s hearts. This was a perfect performance by Angelina and the orchestra. It honors Narges and her personal sacrifice to do away with the archaic treatment of Iranian women.

[@ScionDraak]

Thank you, Pontus for sharing your reaction to this masterpiece of Angelina with us. Love& Kindness, greetings to the North from Germany Hope to meet you guys, when she finally comes back to Europe

[@johnroache32]

I am totally exhausted after this. Just…Oh my dear Lord. James over the top production is the best on the Internet. I have probably watched over 300 reactors. Pontus, I had to stop looking at you, so I wouldn’t burst out sobbing. So worth the wait. Now you can do what I do. I watch this just about every day, and sometimes 2, 3, 4 times? Such an operatic finish. Is it in my top 10? Duh‼️ 😇🌸 for Angelina and for James 😇🌺 and for you, my dear boy. 😇🌺

[@davehenderson7644]

The notes she hits, holds your emotions hostage to the very last note. I find myself needing to force a breath.

[@larrypifer1103]

Synergy is the combined efforts of individuals working together to produce a joint effect that is greater than the sum of the parts acting alone. The collaboration between Angelina Jordan and the KORK Orchestra at the Noble Peace Prize Ceremony 2024 was a remarkable display of musical excellence, and synergy. The young singer's soulful voice and expressive interpretation of the song, Unchained Melody, captivated the audience and complemented the orchestra's rich and nuanced sound. The performance was a fitting tribute to the peace laureates and a celebration of harmony and diversity©

[@tedtomoyasu8438]

An awesome performance by Angelina! Thank you for sharing! Hope to see you in Vegas!

[@BigAngieFan808]

Thanks so much for reacting to the James Thiel version of this with all the added background and context. Yes, now Angelina has the TWO best versions of “Unchained Melody” I’ve ever heard. I was crying through much of my reaction to this one, and I was crying watching her epic performance at Portsmouth. What can you say, indeed. Supernatural talent!

[@Pontus-Osterlin]

Yes, supernatural indeed 🤗

[@charlesmorgan1433]

Thank you for a TREMENDOUS reaction video!!!!

[@keithserafy]

I admire your ability to resist watching a new Angelina performance until you can do a reaction video. I could never do that! This is a true Masterpiece by Angelina & KORK & James did a beautiful job at providing the context. Those last high notes were some of the most beautiful sounds I've ever heard & they cause me to tear up every time I hear them. Great reaction Pontus!

[@Pontus-Osterlin]

thank you!

[@ronjones1077]

Perfectly tasteful. Can you think of ANY other performer who can match that statement? There is so much talent on this earth but I’ve never seen or heard anyone else that combines these qualities along with ability, humanity and beauty both inner and outer. Thank you

Great reaction to the greatest version of Unchained Melody that has ever been performed in its existence since it was written in 1955 and performed by more than 1000 great vocalists. Unchained Melody Nobel Peace Prize 2023 This video is a masterpiece that I have watched more than 100 times coming from Oslo, Norway. Every time I hear the KORK Orchestra begin playing, I feel a surge of emotion because I know what is coming next: the most amazing rendition of Unchained Melody by the incomparable Angelina Jordan. She has a voice of an angel and a talent beyond words. Unchained Melody Nobel Peace Prize 2023 Some ask why Angelina Jordan would pick Unchained Melody for this event, Narges Mohammadi, the Iranian human rights activist who received the prestigious award remains in Iran. One of the most popular and enduring love songs of all time, Unchained Melody, has a surprising origin. It was composed for a 1955 film called Unchained, which tells the story of a man who is incarcerated for a crime he did not commit. He yearns to be free and reunite with his wife and children, who are waiting for him outside. The song captures his emotions of loneliness, hope and longing, and has been covered by many artists over the years, but none in my lifetime of 76 years have conveyed such emotion as Angelina Jordan did at this performance. ©

[@MichaelGroves777]

A pleasant surprise this morning. Well done Pontus.

[@jim-rohe]

Wonderful reaction to a beautiful singer singing a beautiful song. All the additional information James presented with this video is amazing and appreciated by all the angels.

[@andyschnell58]

Pontus, thanks for using James's video to react to Angelina's respectful and emotional performance at the Nobel Peace Prize tribute to Narges Mohammadi. I believe Angelina's performance needs to be heard by more people and James's video provides the needed background. It is up to Angelina's angels to remind the world about Narges Mohammadi and the fight, not just in Iran but around the world, for human rights, especially women's rights.

[@LonghopeBro-ju6jl]

Even with this presentation, some other reactors need to be told to read the captions. Not a problem here though with someone like Pontus who obviously understood the meaning. James must have thought that his introduction, with "Upcoming" segments announced in bold print, was explanation enough, forgetting how distracting (i.e. captivating) Angelina's voice can be, when she is singing in the background.

[@andyschnell58]

@@LonghopeBro-ju6jl I believe many reactors are just so accustomed to reacting to only music, that is difficult for them to pay attention to a written story. Quite sad actually.

Unchained Melody at the Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony When Angelina Jordan sang Unchained Melody at the Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony, she did more than just perform a song. She delivered a historic moment that showcased her unparalleled vocal talent and artistic vision. Her rendition of the classic tune was breathtaking, captivating, and sublime. She elevated the song to a new level of beauty and emotion and touched the hearts of millions of listeners around the world. Angelina Jordan is not just a singer; she is a musical phenomenon and a gift to humanity. ©

[@evalight9895]

Who was the last young woman singer who could bring a grown man to tears ? Oh, like never ! It is remarkable how much we all love Angelina and how much we want her to succeed. I just hope and pray that God will keep her from the clutches of Hollywood and that she will never be made into a Taylor Swift or Brittany Spears,etc. She is SO much better than that. In talent and in soul !

Phenomenal reaction to an Epic video and performance! I've watched this reaction to this 100's of times and it touches me every time. I prefer this video over others because you get the meat of the performance, God Bless!

You are incredible Pontus, very good, I will never understand how you resist and wait weeks before seeing these videos. I've been moved by this incredible performance by Angie for months and also the mashup created by James to introduce the entire preface of that performance is very emotional and beautiful to see. Thanks for the lovely reaction, Pontus, I too absolutely love Angie's version of this famous song, it's so perfect for the occasion.💛🧡❤

Highlights of the Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony One of the highlights of the Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony in Oslo, Norway, was the stunning performance of Angelina Jordan, who sang Unchained Melody with her soulful voice. This unbelievable classic ballad, composed by Alex North and Hy Zaret, has been covered by many artists, but none like Angelina. As she sang, the words and hypnotic tone wash over you, and you are taken to the most wonderful place you have ever been. Her rendition was a tribute to the power of love and peace, and a fitting way to honor the Nobel laureates of 2023. ©

[@SandraAlbarran-tq5xs]

The way in which the best vocalist in the world Angelina Jordan interprets this melody today is extraordinary, to give a message of love, hope, faith, for Narges Mohammadi. Nobel Peace Prize 2023, an activist who has sacrificed her family, her physical health and her life for a noble and just cause, She fights for women against systemic discrimination and oppression, Supports the struggle of women to live "a full and dignified life for equality and the rights of women in Iran, sentenced to 31 years in prison, her children present at the ceremony received the award, it was a message from a mother to her children present in the voice of Angelina Jordan.

Unchained Melody Nobel Peace Prize 2023 (the charity work of Angelina Jordan is only one of the many things that makes her so special.) Angelina Jordan's historical journey is captivating, as she showcases her talent at the age of17 with a voice that transcends time and space, Angelina Jordan mesmerized the world with her rendition of "Unchained Melody" at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony in 2023. Accompanied by the KORK orchestra, the 17-year-old singer paid tribute to Narges Mohammadi, the Iranian human rights activist who received the prestigious award, and remains in Iran. Angelina Jordan's performance was a testament to her artistic maturity and versatility, as well as a promise of more musical wonders to come. ©

[@gary-white-]

I agree with you, Pontus. Absolutely the best version I’ve heard. Actually gets to me before Angelina opens her mouth. As soon as the orchestra starts, my breath hitches and my eyes start to burn. Maybe that’s because of the orchestra, or maybe it’s because I know what’s coming. Whatever the reason, I’m certainly not disappointed. By the extraordinary ending, I’m a basket case.

I love the way Ms. Jordan can transport us to the remembrances of the past, but let's not forget that this young living legend is a contemporary, a masterclass artist that is continuing to experiment with tone and technique to create a newness in music, that will dominate world music for decades to come. It will be Ms. Jordan's creativity in lyricism and musicality, that will captivate the world in the coming years, to make her name synonymous with greatness. ♾ Rb

Angelina Jordan is the finest musical instrument on the planet. When it comes to musical talent, none can compare to Angelina Jordan. She is not just a singer, but a musical instrument herself. Her voice is capable of producing the most exquisite hypnotic sounds, from the softest whispers to the most powerful belts. She can sing in any genre, any language, any mood. She can improvise, harmonize, and mesmerize. She is the finest musical instrument on the planet, and we are so lucky to be in this time and place to hear her perform. ©

The parallels to Ms. Callas are uncanny. However in Ms. Jordan's case she is the true unicorn. No one in the musical world that has graced this world, has effected so many and compelled them to be better to themselves and others, just by the force of being. A truly historical moment in musical history. ♾ Rb

The children of Narges Mohammadi were present for this performance. Kiana and Ali are 17, the same age of Angelina, along with her husband. Angelina signs 'Unchained Melody' seemingly on behalf of Narges being unchained from her jailers and able to be with her family. Angelina brings such an emotional, respectful, classic, understated, delegate performance that will come to be appreciated as one of her best ever. Thank you Angelina.. and also to Pontus and James🍁

3 tips: if you react to " je suis malade" there is a version whit subtitles in French and English. Second tip " watch the video till the very end" 3rd tip " have tissues ready"@@Pontus-Osterlin

[@zoeminelson8565]

@@Pontus-Osterlin More information on Lara Fabian: Lara is recognized as one of the best vocalist ever seen on earth and all professionals list her in the top vocalist tier with Barbra, Whitney, Mariah, Celine, Lisa Fischer, .... In my personal opinion, she is even the best. There are a few vocal characteristics that are her signature: her famous resonance for instance that allows her to sing acapella without mic in venues with 8,000 attendees. Her nickname in the singing world is "the ring" due to this. I would also list her amazing phrasing, breath management and her pleasant tone even when belting in her upper register. So she is one of the best vocalist ever, but on top of that, she adds a few things that make her an absolute package with no equivalence: • she speaks 2 languages natively (french, italian), and 2 others fluently (english, spanish), can speak a bit of dutch (and sicilian), and understand quite well russian and portuguese. She has sung in 12 languages in total • she is an amazing songwriter and wrote lyrics for 200+ songs, in the 4 languages she speaks fluently. She often co-composes the music with the composer. • she acts and performs on stage as nobody else, she colors and reveals the meaning of every single word in the songs, and her ability to emote, to draw you in is second to none • she is the sweetest soul on earth, very humble, down to earth and benevolent. She likes to meet others, and her fans are always pleasantly surprised when this happens. A quick background on her and her career: She is belgian, her father is flemish, but also has italian roots (her mother is from sicilia) and American roots ( her grandfather is from Detroit). She was raised in sicilia first then in Belgium so she speaks both italian and french as native languages. She has been classically trained on vocal, piano and songs composition for 10 years ( from 8 to 18) in the Brussels Royal Conservatory. She is still having vocal lessons and training several times a week today. She started her career in Canada in the early 90s, more precisely in Quebec, the french-speaking part of Canada. She had been living for years in Montreal and has also Canadian citizenship. She just moved back to Italy a few months ago (temporarily?). She became very famous in Quebec and then conquered France in 1996/1997 (she topped charts there and some of her songs such as "Je t'aime" or "Tout" became classics of the french music). In 2000, she was about to penetrate the US Market, with a lot of media initial interest. Her first english song (I will love again), a pop dance song, stayed number one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart for 58 weeks in a row and number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100. Her Album ("Lara Fabian") was about to become a massive hit, and the concert "From Lara With Love" was recorded to be broadcasted everywhere in the US. This concert is legendary, packed with masterpieces (covered by many great vocalists later on). But a dispute with Sony on artistry directions, and the will from Celine Dion's staff to block her progress in the US, completely broke this plan. She thus refocused back on Europe and made huge success there, extending her reach to Eastern Europe and Central Asia where she became an absolute superstar through her collaboration with Igor Krutoy during several years. She is absolutely massive in Russia for instance. She is also a star in Brazil as her song "Love By Grace", used as the soundtrack for a very famous soap opera, topped the charts for months and become a recurrent in the local singing contests since then. Many of her songs became classics and were covered by the other singing legends: Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey, Josh Groban (they are friends and he told she is a role model for him), Linda Eder, … With her success in Europe, Brazil and part of Asia, she is the inspiration of the new generation of vocalists: most of them are coming from there. Thru their covers of Lara Fabian songs, USA and many other countries are now rediscovering her. She is Dimash's idol: I’ve read somewhere that, when he was a child, he was listening her songs every night to get asleep. He covered many of her songs, most of these were composed by Igor Krutoy and written by by Lara. Out of my mind I can list: ○ Adagio (She wrote it and is the original performer), ○ Mademoiselle Hyde (she wrote it and is the original performer), ○ Love of Tired Swans (she wrote the song in French under the title "Je t'aime encore" and was the original performer of the french then the russian versions, Dimash covered the russian version) ○ Ascolta La Voce / Vocalize (this was a pure vocalization and she was the original performer, then lyrics were added for Dimash and it was rebranded as "Know") She also wrote the lyrics of Dimash's song "Your Love". And she covered "Love is like a dream" before him (song from Igor Krutoy originally performed by Alla Pugacheva). Finally, they also performed "Ti Amo Cosi" together, in trio with Aida Garafulina: this is a song that she performed originally with Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Sumi Jo then again later with Dmitri and Alina Yarovaya, before this new trio with Dimash and Aida. Dimash is now also working with Igor Krutoy: Igor and Dimash connected after his Adagio cover, also endorsed by Lara. Igor came back from retirement and composed severals songs for him after it. Many other top vocalists from the current generation covered her songs, some have Lara as a role model and big inspiration: ○ Floor Jansen (Adagio), ○ Polina Gagarina (Adagio, Je t’aime), ○ Diana Ankudinova (Tomorrow is a lie), ○ Morissette Amon (Broken Vow), ○ Gabriel Henrique (Love by Grace), ○ Cakra Khan (Broken Vow), ○ Katrina Velarde (Broken Vow), ○ Regine Velasquez (Broken Vow), ○ Dmitri Hvorostovsky (Adagio), ○ Giulia Falcone (Adagio, Caruso, Je suis malade, Je t'aime), ○ Forestella (Je suis Malade), ○ Almira (from 4th Impact band) (Broken Vow), ○ Gigi de Lana (Broken Vow) ○ Julie Anne san Jose (Adagio, Broken Vow), ○ Rimar ( Adagio, Broken Vow, Know), ○ Il Divo (Adagio) ○ Daria Bentsa (I guess I loved you), ○ Sarah Geronimo (Broken Vow) ○ Laura Bretan ( Adagio, Caruso), ○ Jackie Evancho (Je t’aime, Caruso and Broken Vow, BV rewritten as « Imaginer » by Lara for Jackie), ○ Amir (Je t’aime), ○ Vitas (Adagio), ○ Anastasia Luna (Adagio), ○ Jeck (Je T’Aime), ○ Evgenia Fanfara (Adagio), ○ Anna Eriksson (Je suis malade), ○ Choi Sung Hoon (Je suis malade), ○ Soprano Turetsky band (Adagio) ○ Majda Roumi (Adagio), ○ Harrison Craig (Broken Vow), ○ Petra Berger (Adagio, Broken Vow), ○ Katerina Maslova (Je t’aime, I guess I loved you) ○ Sevara Nazarkhan (Je t’aime) ○ .... NB: Lara did cover Caruso , Je suis malade, and Love by grace, these are not her originals, but I mention these here as the related artists were attracted to cover it again after listening to Lara’s version. Today, Lara still has an amazing voice and tone and can still reach the 5th octave with resonance ; she still offers these emotive renditions that are her unique signature. In June 2022, she kicked off a WW tour and stunned her fans once again with 5 magical concerts in Canada. She completed the europe part in September/October and I attended a concert from this tour. It was packed and she was again spectacular. On April, May, June 2023 she had again some wonderful concerts in Tbilissi, Georgia, then in Ouzbekhistan, Kazakhstan, Romania. She is about to release a new album and kick off another tour that will visit eastern europe in april 2024 (Czech Republic, Moldavia, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkiye), then several locations in Canada in june 2024 and, after some rest and a few TV Shows, France in 2025. The first song of the new album (titled "Ta Peine" - Your Sorrow) was released late January 2024 and is a success in France. Sorry if I was long, but I hope this gives some context on Lara.

Thank you Pontus...always a joy to watch you react to Angelina and am so impressed with your discipline and restraint in holding off on some of her performances so you can share your first reaction with us! It's always worth the wait to see and hear your genuine and thoughtful comments and to watch the range of emotions cross your face as you process the performance. Wasn't this such a stunning and sensitive interpretation and beautiful gift to Narges and her family?! Just incredible. I too will not be able make it to the Las Vegas concert, - but was able to see her in New Hampshire last Fall. Everyone is in for an amazing night on the 29th!!

[@ridgemanron]

Bobby Hadfield's rendition has always been deemed 'The Gold Standard' for 'Unchained' and rightfully so, but here, by applying her 'Jazz' roots to the song, Angelina brings forth much more emotion laden penetration to the listener than Bobby's 'Pop' version. Unless you are a 'Jazz' specialist on the level of Angelina's 'one and only' true musical mentor, Billie Holiday, there is no way any singer could hope to match or surpass our 'Barefoot Princess' when it comes to heartfelt ballads.

Até mesmo a finalizando esse espetáculo, percebemos que, ao ve-la colocando as mãos no peito para despedir, ela continua tão PURA e SIMPLES quando a conhecemos desde criança! A magnitude desse Anjo não cabe em palavras! Como sou feliz por ela existir! Como sou... Gracias, muchas gracias!

...100's time watching...in tears every single time...Angelina must make a contract with the paper tissues industry...😂...Greatings from Berlin...

I don't know I may be the oldest one this bunch as crank in on 73. But our ages have nothing to do with all our shared affection and Love we have for this young, infinitely talented woman. To say she is rare in today's world is an extremely absurd understatement. She makes one of a kind sound like it borders on insult. God set this angel on this earth to give us hope that we can all be better. Then there is that voice and vocal intelligence that puts Angelina's stamp on everything she sings. This computer screen is the closest I'll ever get to her physically, but she will always be close to my heart as she is to all your hearts.

[@rickpallas2001]

Same reaction as you! EVERY TIME I have seen this performance.

[@christophersmith7041]

I’m sure Angelina is feeling so honoured to be performing at the Nobel peace prize in her home country Norway especially as she is reunited with the Norwegian Kork orchestra, not the first time Angelina has performed at the event, the first time was in 2014 when Angelina sang ( What A Wonderful World), Angelina has collaborated with the Norwegian Kork orchestra on several occasions, once with her rendition of ( Back to Black) and again when Angelina sang ( Summertime Time) , I’m travelling from the United Kingdom to attend the Las Vegas concert, this will be my fourth time I’ve seen AJ live,my earliest experience of this phenomenal artist performing live in Norway was when Angelina was 12 years old with her arrangement of ( ITS A Man’s world) the performance was phenomenal,also I attended the same concert as you when AJ was 16 , also her amazing concert in Portsmouth USA,cannot wait to see my favourite artist again, Angelina never disappoints, great performance great reaction thanks!

Wow 🤩

If I win the lottery, can I tag along with you? My Hero❗️ 😇🌺

[@angelastant6554]

I agree, I didn’t think anyone could surpass the Righteous Brothers’ version, but I should have known better. I have watched this many times and am moved to tears each time!

[@pjg58x]

Loved your reaction. My wife and I will be at the 7:00 concert in Las Vegas. I’m concerned about the slow ticket sales. I’m sure the short notice has a lot to do with it. I knew that a sell out was probably unlikely but with just over two weeks to go I think it’s going to be difficult for even half capacity. Sales for the second show are even slower. It would be heartbreaking to see such small turnouts. It’s too bad there couldn’t be more advanced notice and more publicity. I hope that everyone who can considers going to Las Vegas to support Angelina.

[@pjg58x]

Just noticed that Angelina’s concert is finally listed on the Westgate Resort website with photos and a bio. Not sure why this wasn’t there from day one.

[@johnroache32]

Michael has set things up so her likeness and information is going to hit all the billboards in Las Vegas!

[@heliobastos4088]

Nossa, que linda sua montagem! É tão linda que passa exatamente a pureza de Angelina que, hoje, mora em Los Angelina😂! Tudo muito perfeito e de acordo com a profundidade exata do que sempre inspirou e exalou através do seu encantamento. Só mesmo aqueles que tiveram a grande sorte de acompanha-la desde 2014 pode entender o que está por trás dessa incomensurável beleza! Angelina é a Mona Lisa de nosso mundo atual, sem sombras de dúvida! Parabéns por essa bela montagem! Vou tentar eterniza-la!

[@martinstenitzer8782]

Angelina with the kork orchestra is the highest level formthe musicworld, its absolutly gorgeous, woooooooooow amazing, sooooo gooooood 👑♥️🌹💫

They know her so well. And this has always been in my top 10. 😇🌸 Summertime" w/KORK, at 10. Breathtaking live performance. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaXad2eqnpanmMU

[@garywaterson3147]

I have heard this countless times. I keep telling myself " here we go again. I won't cry this time". ..... Bull....! I do.

[@larrypifer1103]

Unchained Melody I watched as Angelina Jordan stepped onto the stage, her presence commanding attention. The room hushed, anticipation hanging in the air like a delicate thread. She stood there, a young girl with an old soul, ready to weave magic with her voice. As the first notes of "Unchained Melody" filled the room, time seemed to slow. Angelina's voice wrapped around each word, infusing them with a depth that transcended mere lyrics. It was as though the song had been written for her, and her alone. The audience held its breath as she sang. Her voice soared, reaching heights that touched the heavens. The pain and longing in her eyes mirrored the emotions in the song-the heartache, the yearning. It was more than a performance; it was a revelation. The chorus came, and Angelina's voice swelled, filling every corner of the room. " Oh, my love, my darling I've hungered, hungered for your touch," she sang, and suddenly, we all did. The magic in her performance was like nothing we had ever experienced in our lives. The lyrics came alive and had meaning as they flowed through us. In that moment, Angelina Jordan became a vessel for something greater-an embodiment of love itself. Her voice carried us beyond our own pain and loneliness. We felt connected-to her, to each other, to something intangible yet profound. As she held that final note, time snapped back into place. The applause erupted-a thunderous acknowledgment of what we had just witnessed. But it wasn't just applause; it was gratitude-for allowing us to glimpse love through Angelina's eyes. And so, we stood there, hearts full, tears in our eyes. Angelina Jordan had given us something rare-a reminder that love exists even in our brokenness. And for those few minutes, we believed it with every fiber of our being.©

[@deniseperryman2814]

I was watching you and waiting for the tears to flow just like mine was . Angelina is such a special and humble person.No one compares to her. They never could no matter how they try. It’s just impossible.I wish I could be there for a big night, I’m from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and I just can’t afford to go. If I could I would be on a plane right now. I’m nearly 71 and not in great health. I’ve followed `Angelina since she was 8 yrs old. I just adore everything about her . Angelina has a heart 💓 of gold she just remarkable. Great Reaction as always. Thank you Pontus . Sending lots of love 🥰 from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👼👼👼🦶🦶🫅🫅🫅👏👏🥰🥰🤗😘👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯♾️♾️♾️♾️♾️♾️

Através do seu olhar e reação consigo ver a profundidade de sua ALMA e de ANGELINA! Gratíssimo a Deus por fazer parte dessa contemporaneidade! Angelina é a melhor versão de covers das músicas de todos os tempos e vai além das originais!

[@cm0355]

Hi Pontus...great reaction as usual to our angel Angelina...By the way, IMO this is the best cover of this song...touched my heart, my soul and made me cry... as I always say Angelina Jordan is simply the best..👍👏

[@SteveAckerman-ly3qg]

Beautiful reaction Pontus! Not sure how you 'kept it together' while watching this, I must have seen or listened to this rendition 50 times since watching it on Norwegian TV / KZbin, live. It is as impactful now as the first time and all in between, and never fails to bring at least some tears. Her 2023 was so full of wonderful performances and events, but this performance topped my list for the year. Wait 'til you see her perform this live on a stage in Europe, someday soon - guaranteed to be breathtaking. And kudos and appreciation to James for putting together all the important information about the context of her performance, and in such a moving way. Talk to you soon! 🙂

[@Pontus-Osterlin]

Thank you, Steve 🤗

[@TheBlaster54]

I wish that I could afford to attend the Feb. 29th concert.

[@kevingood4644]

For me, and particularly given the relevance, Angelina and KORK now own this song. Thx Pontus 🙏

[@ronraskind]

Pontus, I was right there with you holding back the emotion. What a great job by James putting this all together, this being Angelina's greatest performance in my opinion. I absolutely love when she does classic songs and the emotion and passion she put into this one was so fitting for the occasion. I hope we see more of that from Angelina. Peace out

[@dianedove1000]

Pontus, did you know that she received permission from the Director of the KORK orchestra to arrange the song for this performance? She also publicly thanked him for allowing her to do so.

[@Pontus-Osterlin]

Thanks for the info. I did not know that. Very interesting 🤗
