I simply adore this song and Angelina’s beautiful vocal! Watch me sing ‘At Last’ for the Angelina tribute video over on Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/91563526? ❤

[@pianoman7151]

You should take a listen to Isaac Hayes cover of this song.

[@thomshin2460]

She is just the best.

[@mijyadoc5374]

Absolutely captivating vocals from this very young lady..... yes, 11 years of age..... wow!

[@boscobeans]

She really doesn't sing a song. Angelina transmits the emotion that the song represents. Amazing how well you understand that.

[@kiritaia8469]

Im learning so much following thru with your reactions. Thank you. It really is AJ's stylist choices in the the way she pronounces the lyrics but for me it's the story telling behind Every word she says as if she lived what she is singing.I never heard a vocalist so young that gives me goosebumps because of the Emotion she puts into Any song she sings🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@iainwolstencroft3764]

I also think it's amazing that she is reading the lyrics of her phone/tablet,

[@YozhikvTumane]

I've heard a lot of people, both male and female, take on this song, but this is the only version that bring tears to my eyes - and it does it every single time I listen to it. It's just so incredibly beautiful ❤️

[@rickrack4812]

NINA SMILE !!!!!!!

[@anitaherbert1037]

Angelinas beautiful phrasing is thanks to her thorough grounding in jazz performance.

[@geoffreynorth9046]

Beautiful song as you say - and I cannot imagine it sung more beautifully than Angelina does in this version: a long-time favourite... (one of many I have to add )

[@lindakayjohnson9434]

Hi Nina.. just love how open and real you are.. I bet you are a very loyal friend ❤ I love Angelina's version of this Roberta Flack song.. there's just something about Angelina and the way she can interpret lyrics ❤ The next reaction.. is it 'At Last'? That song is one of my all time favourites. I love Angelina's version when she is super young, just melts my heart.

[@ryanjacob3338]

There is so much Angelina that will transport you, most often when she's spitting in the face of the rules we're trained to follow in vocals. Her jazz roots help her pave her own unique path, not at all scared to feel out a song her way, thank goodness for that. I think that's where it's easier for us to identify and appreciate her personal artistry. All the breath control in the world for her age the whole way through her catalog, clear as day, so for sure we know these must mostly be choices. She still does that all the time, even uses the breath sounds as part of the song sometimes it seems like. I swear she decided, no world, breathing sounds aren't taboo, and she's right. I look forward to the world challenging her on that, and soon after admitting defeat. We had to throw real music, live music, creativity, imperfect humans another bone eventually.

[@marvinboswell6889]

I enjoyed the emotion this 11yr old child was able to put in this beautiful song. Great Reaction, Thank you

[@ninaschofield]

Thanks for watching!

[@wajj1842]

Angelina at age 11. So many wonderful performances. And this is one of my favorites. To begin with, it's one of the most beautiful songs ever written (IMO), and Robert Flack's version is pure perfection. But I will never understand how this sweet little girl can take a very deep love song like this, and make me weep. Cheap mic and poor acoustics, reading the lyrics on her ipad, doesn't seem to matter. She just has "IT"! She has become such a beautiful, talented, young woman, and her future has no limits. But I do miss the little girl who always touched my heart so deeply. But that was "once upon a time". Love your Angelina reactions, Nina. You are a very sweet and beautiful person.

[@lordleonusa]

Angelina doesn't cover songs, she uncovers them!

[@johnvasi]

This is such a beautiful song. Your mention of the Céline Dion cover makes me realize how old I am. The initial hit version was exactly 50 years ago. Roberta Flack’s hit in 1973 was stunning-like nothing we’d heard before. Slow and heartfelt, like Angelina’s, it was the Grammy record of the year. And she followed that with another record of the year the following year with Killing Me Softly. Her sound was unmistakeable. Angelina patterns her cover after the Roberta Flack version, but I’m familiar enough with the original hit to hear where she departs. The musicality, the emotion, and her ability to go her own way at such a young age is just more evidence of Angelina’s truly unique talents. Angelina takes on the best singers singing their best songs-and she never disappoints us.

[@francescogalesso1880]

Angelina is like a sponge that instantly absorbs the essence of every song she sings. Roberta Flack is unreachable and Angelina, at just 11 years old, is the closest.

[@cm0355]

Thanks for the reaction to our angel Angelina.. she’s simply the best..👍👏

[@ros8737]

There are so many details of musical artistry in this little song that makes such a young girl’s goosebumps evoking talent unfathomable.

[@larsfrodelarsen6645]

An angel singing !!!

[@charlesmarkley220]

I appreciate the young lady so much. Roberto Flack owns this song. Angelina will get there to. Listening to Roberta when I was a little boy. Well I don't have words for it.

[@keithserafy]

You are absolutely right, Nina, this is 11 yo Angelina & guitarist Egil Claussen, with an impromptu performance, unrehearsed & in one take, while reading the lyrics on her i-pad. I can't even imagine how good she would sound today at 17 if she rehearsed it ahead of time & re-recorded it. At the end of this, check out her facial expression because, to me, she looks a little embarrassed by the adult lyrics. This is one of my all-time favorites by her of any age, it's just stunningly beautiful & emotional.

[@BZ_C6H6]

She was embarressed be cause she had mixed up the words in the song.❤

[@keithserafy]

@@BZ_C6H6 Yes, she did mix up the lyrics so that could be the source of her embarrassment, but I still think it's the mature lyrics. We'll never know unless she tells us.

[@geoffreynorth9046]

Her final facial expression is so precious :)

[@geoffreynorth9046]

@@keithserafy yes - much more likely to be the lyrics I think

[@wajj1842]

Hey Keith. I hope you are well. I do miss that 11 yo phenom. It was a very good year for her.

[@livingLge]

So damn tender and intentional. I will never understand how an 11 y.o. girl can even begin to approach the emotional content of this amazing song. And yet, she does. She delivers the emotion and then some. Sigh.

[@mikehaun5690]

Angelina's phrasing is better than anyone I can think of. I think that is an important part of her emotional impact on us.

[@ridgemanron]

She stays 'spot on' with Roberta Flack's rendition, which is considered by most to be 'The Gold Standard'. Just a beautiful tribute, for sure.

[@morbiouslenoir]

I think we have forgotten how deep emotions are when you're so young. The pain and anguish of your teen years, how sharp your feelings are, how deeply they are felt. Your first love, your first rejection by someone you love, the crashing despair. I'm not surprised that someone of Angelina's age can feel this, but being able to express it so poignantly, so beautifully, that's her magic. For an older singer, it's usually the reverse. They have the technique, but can they still feel that razor-edge of pain?

[@clydeatrowbridge]

grammy noms come out nov 10..reduced nominations to 8 in best new artist this year ..will angelina win...her 6 song ep was released in time to be considered this year...

[@CarlD70]

That would be great. Personally think the Grammy's now days is a popularity contest and not really about vocal artists anymore, unfortunately.

[@clydeatrowbridge]

u r the best.....

[@glenndavis5349]

This is in my top 5 all time from Angelina, ok maybe top 10!

[@kenscott8966]

Angelina's willingness to slow this down and fully expose her vocals both allows and requires her to demonstrate her musicality and vocal skills. I believe she thrives on this testing of herself. She knows the single guitar won't cover for her complex stylistic choices and she revels in the opportunity/demand (even here on one or two takes) that she own and quite nearly perfect them. And yes, the guitarist (Egil Clausen, I think) is good enough to both stay out of her way and respond to her while giving a stable foundation upon which she can build (and boy does she)! A really extraordinary tandem!

[@lightbearer7552]

Thank you Nina for a great reaction to AJ she is an experience that has to be heard and felt in the heart it's what makes her unique the purity of her heart and the beautiful energy she radiates, no other artist has ever touched me like she does regardless of her age. It's just AJ being AJ..💗👣

[@rickheyliger5752]

TEARS, as this song reminds me of my first true love.. Her angelic voice, so soft, gentle and as usual for Angelina, full of emotion. Angelina's emotional singing, portrays what your feelings would sound like and she has this uncanny way of drawing you into another dimension and touching your most inner feelings. She undresses your soul and exposes it to the true meaning of what music is meant to be. I have been into music since the 70s and very few artist has made me as emotional as Angelina has.. Much respect to Angelina, whose name belongs on the same page with the best artist of all time. That's just my opinion. PS: Just Subscribed ☮

[@ninaschofield]

She really is amazing - thanks so much for subscribing!

[@dsgp7835]

That put a lump in my throat.

[@CarlD70]

Thank you Nina for another wonderful reaction and great comments and analysis with Angelina. Personally, I have heard this song many many times including Roberta's original cover of this song but this rendition by this 11 year old, singing in a room, mic and guitar is the most stunning version since Roberta Flack. One of my favorites (there are many) from Angelina. Stay well and look forward to the next Nina. 🥰🥰🥰🥰 BTW, you mentioned "At Last" in your comments ....could that be next from an 8 year old Angelina?

[@capstan50g]

There's so much emotion here! How can she do this???? Angelina's impromptu covers are often better than most artists' rehearsed versions. She's a musical giant. Great reaction, Nina! If you liked this, I bet you'll like her cover of I Will Always Love You. It's flawed like a precious diamond can be flawed, which only increases the impact. Since we're getting late in the year, though, I'll recommend you listen to her amazing version of All I Want For Christmas, performed live. Here's a link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqSpaYdmgNB7h5o

[@Always1Elvis]

I personaly think that Angelina as well as Lucy Thomas are both a gift send from above that only appear once in a few decades in music land. Angelina has such an old soul in music and is capable of just singing everything to the moon. Stunning, absolutely stunning.

[@madelaca4589]

Love the understated approach Angelina chose for this song. So tender, so emotional ♥ I saw the beautiful tribute you all made for Angelina and obviously your vocals shone in it. Lovely! ☺

[@ninaschofield]

Aw thank you so much!

[@Arlene_G]

Miss Nina, you have a great voice!! I agree, this is a beautiful song.. and Angelina sings it as if it was one of her favorite songs!! This isn't the first time she sings from a tablet and in a nano-second instinctive manner, is able to apply the most amazing emotional vocals.. "STUNNING" is correct, her ability to improvise adding her well known melisma for that special touch... Great reaction Nina, you are a unique talent, and a joy to watch... You should share more of your vocals! Hope we get to hear you on the flipside??? PEACE!!

[@larrypifer1103]

Much thanks to Egil Clausen, AJ's Norwegian guitar player, for his contributions to the creation of this being we call Angelina Jordan.

[@navrozelalkaka8457]

What a marvelous reaction Nina ! That song was more brilliant than ever . Stands out on it's own, shining like the Radiance of a Thousand Suns.

Angelina Jordan, the best among the best, an outstanding vocalist, totally unique and original style, she is also an extraordinary composer, she demonstrated it with her 7 new songs from her new LP, Mexico

[@larrypifer1103]

The young singer Angelina Jordan amazed the audience with her rendition of the classic song "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face". She delivered a flawless performance, showcasing her vocal range and emotional expression. Her voice was mature beyond her years, and she captured the essence of the song with her soulful interpretation. She was a remarkable talent, and her performance was sheer genius.

[@sulatlalaki]

I am continually surprised that no one, particularly vocal coaches, ever seem to mention how phenomenal her low volume vibrato is! I mean, sometimes, the notes stops and yet you can hear her vibrato through her breath! I have never seen or heard anyone ever come close to it and she has had this ability since she was very very young.

[@zeuso.1947]

Here are good examples of how Angelina can do long cascading runs with every note seeming to be spot on, and her breaths becoming a key component of the lyrics.

[@bills5268]

I loved Frank Sinatra's songs for his phrasing....he never sang the same song twice in the same way. Angelina is very much like Frank in that way.

[@SteveAckerman-ly3qg]

Nina, thank you so, SO much for taking part in our fan tribute Old Enough at Last - it was such a joy to work with you and others, but your vocals were especially beautiful. Others only got to hear a small part of them - I just listened to your full rendition on Patreon, and it is wonderful! I hope (we actually, all agree:) you'll consider releasing it generally 🙂. And thank you for another insightful reaction to a stunning Angelina performance - you always pick up on nuances that go right past me.

Thanks, Nina, for another beautiful and insightful review and analysis of a young Angelina cover. My dark-horse guess for your next AJ video is "A Song For A". But a cover of Lana Del Rey, John Legend or Adele is probably a good bet. What I do know for certain is that I can't wait to discover what it is and enjoy watching it. Glad to be one of your Patreon members so that it might be available to me sooner (your welcome 😉).

[@Paultricounty]

Quite amazing but it’s not the lyrics but it’s the sound of her voice that brings tears to the eyes. As I’ve remarked for the last few years, this young lady is a phenomena. Even more amazing is her vocal growth over the last year or two, I believe that if this young lady is managed and handled correctly, she will be the most famous female vocalist of the last 75 years.

[@dianedove1000]

I’ve heard this many, many times, and yet with the first phrase I was already getting goosebumps! I hope you go back and visit more of her performances between ages 10-12 because they are much more of the same. Some of my very favorites! Enjoyed your analysis, Nina. Thank you for “understanding” Angelina’s talent.

[@ninaschofield]

Absolutely! I'll keep exploring all of her covers for sure, thanks for watching!

[@lisasuhr6433]

This is my absolute favorite love song, and to hear her sing it, and to be sooooo young, just boggles my mind as a singer! Roberta Flack did it flawlessly (the version I know from her) so to hear it sung so beautifully from someone so young that had never sung it before, astonishes me 😊

My sister Sheridan recently accidentally swallowed a fly, While she was talking I actually saw it fly in her cake hole lol, eyes bulging she leapt with a fright coughing gagging red faced spitting trying to cough it up but to late, it's protein now 😂 Sheridan was genuinely angry knocking the phone out my hand as I tried to film her in a full on panic DESPERATELY trying to get the fly out. The 5 of us laughed hysterically, her best friend Lucy LITERALLY on her back laughing so hard she almost passed out. Sheridan said **** you all and stormed upstairs 😂 I had to share with someone it's still FRESH on my mind happened less then an hour ago suddenly your new video pops up had to tell you 😊 That woman can sing for sure

Angelina's ability to bring out emotion is her super power. The emotions are usually from a life experience to draw upon but she has not had that life experience in some of her covers since she did them when she was so young. Million Miles (kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJmug5trj9mojc0si=R7ydriE9_5GsdHQ8 ) is an original written based upon the loss of her grandfather. This link features artwork done by her grandmother for the song.

Angelina's singing is overwhelming . The perfect voice for one of the most beautiful love songs ever written. The guitar tone is , however, way toooooo much up front and punchy and ringy. I actually find it chringworthy. Not the playing, but the overpresence and sharpness. In fact on second thoughts, it would probably been way better acapella.
