Vocal Coach Reacts to ANGELINA JORDAN - My Funny Valentine Comparison 2016 vs. 2022

[@HS-ol4zl]

The most adorable (2016) and the most beautiful version (2022) of this classic song...!

[@TroyArchAngel]

This young girl, is going to be the best singer of all time (if everything is done correctly and she'll have the right people around her). That's what I meant, best of all time. She'll even top the best ever that we know so far. Am I crazy to believe that?

[@rickrack4812]

For the specific type of genre portrayed , Between Angelina and Haley Reinhart, our ears are in good status going forward for some time. Of course so I am into symphonic heavy metal as well and there are three or four amazing top tier vocalists who I will always appreciate such as Sharon den Adel, Brittany Hayes, Elise Ryd, Diana Leah Simone Simons and yeah even fFoor Jansen to an extent, who have a variety of sound or tone or range or emotive delivery. I just know I can't stand hip hop, rap and most of Pop

[@charlespeterson7502]

No, you are exactly right.

[@markuskruger4640]

I remember during a long time, where I believed I'm the only one.....and so crazy..... too crazy....to believe that !!!!

[@stevenhambek846]

I’d put my bottom dollar on it. If all she did where commercials and sound tracks. Add in original songs with messages and lyrics from her heart with everything Republic Records can do it is a done deal. Stay safe and may God protect Angelina Jordan Astar

[@larrypifer1103]

This young lady is already the best storytelling vocalist of all time, the rest of the world will soon know her hypnotic power she has over the rest of us.

[@chrisrussell63]

I honestly think no-one has previously had the kind of depth of control over the emotional content of a song, along with the skill and talent to express it all, as does Angelina. She truly is an angel.

[@lutobravodaniel2189]

Yes yes yes!!!! Absolutely MAGICAL!!!!! Out of WORLD!!!!!!!

[@hawaiiguykailua6928]

Angelina paints dimensional rainbows with colors we can't conceive of through her vocal spirit 😊

[@nickmcconnell1291]

You gave us a fantastic contrasting analysis between these two performances. Thank You! I think you can hear that all the creativity was already in Angelina’s head at 10 years old. She knew then what she wanted the song to sound like. Time and grace gave her an instrument capable of bringing out what she heard in her own head. Beauty itself. ❤

[@TheVocalyst]

Beautifully said. I love that... "time and grace."

[@johnestes31]

Lest we forget all the energy, passion & dedication toward polishing said instrument & testing its limits in order to make those blueprints a reality for us to bear witness the grace & beauty until the end of time.

[@kjaime7030]

Her birthday is mid-December, so she was 9, not 10. Just sayin'. At that age, each year means so much, so it truly is that much more amazing to see what you are talking about.

[@mldkenny]

I just love the way you describe her skills and talent and appreciate the genius of this amazing girl.

[@dojoswitzer]

No matter how long you make your Angelina reaction videos, the Angels will watch to the end. (Stopping is sacrilege.) A guitar musician with many Angelina reaction videos recently commented that KZbin analytics reported to him that Angelina’s fans are the most patient of all artists he reviews (they hang around longer than any others). Another reactor held a livestream recently, and Angelina’s fans stayed with him for 9-1/2 hours.

[@leeannsheridannicolai1806]

I've been watching reactions of ANGELINA 4 bout, (let me think) 7 hrs. so far today. No it's not a"Gloomy Sunday", I just LOVE watching reactors that appreciate AWESOMENESS!

[@rongotwalt4487]

Bethany I loved your wonderful analysis of both songs ! You were spot on and I liked your comments in AJ's growth and maturity as a singer ! She continues to have in the nuances , inflections and dynamics but now has the real depth and control to broadcast these so so beautifully ! Thank you as always ! You are a must watch channel and I really enjoy your wonderful commentary and please continue to support this beautiful and fantastic talented artist !! Angelina is becoming a star right before our eyes ! We love our barefoot princess dearly ! Sending you thanks and love from Canada ! 🤗👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️

[@ClaudioMarcucci7756]

Bethany, I absolutely adore all of your wonderful analysis/reactions with our sweet girl. 😍 Impossible not to love this concentrate of humility, simplicity, innocence, sympathy and talent. Angelina every time, with her voice, leaves you with a wonderful feeling of contentment and tenderness that accompanies you even after. I love her voice and in this double vision it is possible to perceive the fantastic changes that have taken place in 6 years. 💛🧡❤

[@larrypifer1103]

Our tiny little girl with the grownup voice will be 17 on Jan. 10, 23 and is now 6'1" tall and could be a super model, but I hope the major portion of her career will dedicated to her music and taking the world to a better place. I don't think she even realizes this power she holds over us and need to hear that signature voice to fill that empty void within all of us.

[@dojoswitzer]

I have to say before even watching your new Angelina reaction, I am so happy to see and hear you return with another cheerful reaction. (after watching…) One of the things I appreciate most from your reactions is watching Angelina together with a professional who listens closely and pays attention to the smallest details. This helps me dig in deeper with a renewed sensitivity and awareness to a recording I have have heard multiple times. You help me expand my already bountiful appreciation for Angelina’s artistry.

[@shodanrich3317]

What a wonderful and educational analysis of this miracle child. Thank you for coming back to Angelina and reacting to this lovely 10/16 comparison.

[@rchad6064]

Wonderful reaction. I really enjoyed the comparison of the 2 ages. Angelina's dedications in her art shows in everything she does. We are so lucky that we get to see the evolution of this young lady. It's hard to believe that she is only 16 years old at this time.

[@kentovewagenes1141]

Great reaction. I enjoyed that ❤️ The 10 year old version is so precious and full of emotion and I love it ❤️ The 16 year old version is just the most beautiful version of that song ever to me ❤️ That version hugs my soul ❤️ Have a great day 👍

[@glenmorris135]

Great words and so apt Kenta. Hugs to you also my dear friend ☺☺

[@morriswong4628]

It is so nice to hear the introduction before singing the song. This is a lost art. Her 16 yr version is so beatiful, tasty, soulful and emotional. What a sensational Artist at 10 and getting better at 16. Can't wait for her future versions.

[@stevebingham9449]

Spot on comparison, Thank for your reaction. Angelina is truly amazing in her musical evolution.

[@larrypifer1103]

I must pay you a complement, when you do these reviews one can tell you love what do, you get straight to the point and articulate with a beautiful knowledge of what storytelling is all about.

[@BarrySowder]

Bethany, thank you for your full appreciation of Angelina at both ages! 🙏 I think you are the first of the reactors to fully do that who did a double reaction format of this song. She sang at such a high level at age 10 that it seems impossible that she could improve so much in 6 years . . . yet she did. 💖

@BarrySowder. William Hostutler did an excellent comparison of these two versions back in march which is worth checking out!

[@BarrySowder]

@@wayneraynal8487 Yes he did and I've seen it. It was great. My point was that she took a different approach. She was the first one to go back and forth between the two and spend as much time on the first song as she did the second. IMO.

[@jannrhoads5836]

I love watching her early years! She throws her whole self into every song. It’s as if she is experiencing the song for real. She is so animated, her voice slides up and her arms slide up, she pushes her body up to get all of the sound out. She’s just adorable❤ Thank you for the detailed analysis.

[@chrisrussell63]

I have to say I have been following Angelina's career since she was quite small. She has grown into one of the most beautiful young women around, and her voice is capable of being so sultry and hypnotic. She is headed for iconic status without a doubt. One for the ages.

MAGICAL Rendition!!!!! MAGIC!!!!! INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@CarlD70]

Oh my goodness Bethany, that was simply one of the best ever reaction/analysis I have ever seen when comparing these two versions that Angelina performed. And no, that was not to long, would have been here for another 10 minutes listening to you. The 10 year old version by Angelina always gets me in the tear ducts with the amount of feeling and emotion she gives you and the difference between her speaking voice and her singing voice, remarkable. All that I can say about the 16 year old rendition that she gifted us is that I have been listening to this song for over 60 years and her rendition is simply the best I have ever heard in my lifetime. Thank you so much for this wonderful review and the time you spent on this with all the details, much appreciation. Cheers and stay well.

[@keithserafy]

Me too Carl, this has been a favorite song of mine for 50 years & I've heard a lot of different legendary singers cover it, but none as beautiful as her latest version. It's just stunning. I hope I'm still around if she records this again in her 20's or 30's. I just hope we get to see her singing it for the next one.

The tears, the goose bumps the shear emotion she emotes, I don't get from any other singer today or in the past. Thank you for all you do for Angelina.

Thank you for reacting to "My Funny Valentine," when Angelina was a little girl singing, her heart filled with love. I cried the first time hearing her Angel's voice. Now She is a young lady with so much soulful power in her voice that it's hard to compare her voice from then to now. However, you have pointed it out professionally, and I joyed your reaction, as always. Looking forward to your new review.

[@ClandOp]

Bethany, your AJ reactions are always so enormously detailed, informative -- and emotional. Thank you. You really do combine the best of vocal analysis with heartfelt response to the music. Fabulous content.

This means the world to me! ❤

[@ClandOp]

@@TheVocalyst It's the simple truth. I'm a singer, and I listen to a lot of vocal coaches react to exceptional artists like AJ (and Sohyang, Aurora, and many others), and your ability to translate what you understand technically in a way that also captures and articulates the emotion of the performance is among the best I've encountered. Please (please!) keep going!

Outstanding review of Angelina 6 years apart. She is beyond category.

[@andyschnell58]

Amazing to me how, when I listen to a great artist, I hear new things in a performance even after numerous previous times hearing it. Today, I could feel Angelina smiling while singing this song, in both versions. Morissette almost always makes me smile and Angelina often does as well but today I felt like Angelina herself was smiling while singing this song.

[@louisegogel7973]

I think that each time I listen to Angelina, as if I’d not heard her sing before, and at the same time so wonderfully familiar and warm.

[@larrypifer1103]

Angelina has had what the industry calls "A SiGNATURE VOICE" even at the age of 7. For me, as soon as I hear the first few words of a signature voice, I know who I am experiencing, but AJ voice is like nothing I have experienced in the past of my 75 years, she has the ultimate signature voice.

[@billywoods9192]

That was fun. Thank you!

[@johnvasi]

I’ve seen several reactions to these two versions. It’s a dilemma for me because I have loved the 10 year old Angelina version for years and years. It’s stunning to see such a sensitive, but beautifully musical, take from a child. She is sitting on her sofa, singing her heart out in one glorious take-with nuance, phrasing, and power coming together. Sure, her voice is not as powerful and versatile as Angelina today, but really, nobody can match Angelina’s vocal tools today. Her current version is mesmerizing. I think that now Angelina decides how she wants to present her version of a song, and she doesn’t ever worry about whether she can deliver what she has in mind. So we get an incredible array of color, range, texture, fry, phrasing, and other vocal dynamics that she can combine so effortlessly to create a gorgeous presentation that still keeps that retro vibe. This current version is a vocal masterpiece, but I am captivated by the emotion in her earlier version.

[@jojow.2158]

you are sooo right - i second it

[@RobertDeMartin]

Bethany, I want to be very honest with you and tell you I was glued to my seat for 26:42 listening to your beautiful IN DEPTH analysis of these two incredibly fantastic video's of Angelina singing 'My Funny Valentine'. The name of the game is always how genuine someone is. Angelina is always genuine. She finds the love in every song she sings and we can hear it in her voice and feel it in our hearts. Bethany, your ":performance" was so genuine, so intelligent, so romantic, I literally fell in love with you during the video. No lie! Back to Angelina! 🙂 When push comes to shove I will always admit I prefer to listen and see her sing this at 10. Of course, the 16 year old performance is, let's say, 'sensational', and I appreciate how she incorporated her creativity and stylish runs into the song, attributes she is already famous for at 16. The 10 year old version introduces us to a beautiful child sounding very much like a happy 10 year old and then, like magic we begin to listen to a voice which stuns us and to say she captivates us is the understatement of the Century! She's so comfortable sitting in that chair singing for us, with so much confidence and poise we can't believe what we are seeing with our eyes. You took over from there are told us what was going on and then, when the final chorus starts, OMG, just thinking about it is making me start to tear up. And, as if she knew we wanted to hear it again, she did the chorus again and, to me, I might be wrong but I felt she actually put even more feeling into it the second time. And, how does this incredible performance end? Naturally, she reverts back to the sweet 10 year old child, makes a heart with her hands, smiles and says, "Bye!" Of course, by this time I am emotionally spent. The first time I heard the young version I got up out of my chair, walked around a bit and wanted to sit back down and play it again. But, I couldn't. I had to wait till I regained my composure. Was what I just saw and heard real!? I've since seen the video well over 100 times (200-300 hundred?) and I will never tire of watching it. Bethany, have a wonderful holiday and share your love with those close to you. They have no idea how lucky they are that you are in their lives. Be well. 🌷

There are very few reactors worthy of reviewing Angelina Jordan. You’re one of a very small select group. Well done 🙏

[@larrypifer1103]

This is my 137th time listening to this MASTERPIECE and each time I experience a new level of perfection by our ethereal prodigy extraordinaire, Angelina Jordan. When you listen to the A cappella portions of this performance at the very end of the song you are truly experiencing the genius of Angelina Jordan’s PERFECT PITCH. Sinatra, rest in peace Angelina Jordan, the Bare Foot Queen has taken the crown and there is nothing like her in the universe. When I first heard her perform this. I put it on pause and brought up Sinatra, Bublé, Streisand, Fitzgerald and Vaughan's version of this song to compare it to AJ version, and none of them moved me like this version. It is so hard to comprehend that Angelina from 7 to 16 is the greatest story telling being in my 75 years of experiencing great vocalist and I can't wait for the rest of the story. We are not only hearing it, but we are also feeling each word as though she were singing to each of us individually. She is the only one in this universe that is capable of making us feel the true emotion of this ballad. There is no way to explain this gift that has been given to the universe, does she even know, or understand the power she encompasses?

[@wimstevens6516]

I don't know if she knows how great her power is, but I know. She made me travel all the way to Norway last summer🙂

[@anthony7400]

We all love your intricate analysis and your unbounded delight and joy and what she does. Most of us can only delight in the performance without actually knowing technically the intricacies of what she is doing... A little like being a customer in the worlds finest restaurant versus being a chef eating there and knowing how what they are consuming was produced (and the effort that goes into producing it).

[@mrstlu4838]

You do good comparisons yourself! ❤👣🎶

[@poolhallshark]

Thanks hun. I KNEW you would love (and nail) this comparison reaction. I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. No one I know of does a better job of pointing out all the nuances in her voice, and in this particular reaction, also her differences and similarities, though 6 years apart. I really think that she did an extraordinary good job at 10, I have to say. This was uploaded in February and she turned 10 on January 10th, so there is a fair chance that she was still 9 when she recorded it. At any rate we're witnessing a VERY young 10 year old here. The same can be said about her age in the last one; she may very well have been 15 at the time of recording, Not anywhere close to 17 at least. I know that what I just said is not very important, but at least to me, it's still worth making note of. 1 year is a whole lot of potential development, at least in HER development speed 😉 Another thing I really liked in this one is that you didn't utter a single word about her looks. We can all see that she is very beautiful, and in a MUSIC reaction/breakdown video like this, her looks is very much secondary. Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

[@Daniel-nq8ty]

Angelina's 10 year old version once again left me in a puddle on the floor. So much emotion, putting everything into it for her fans including the intro. At 16, her voice is so polished and soaring that it sounds to me like a vinyl recording on an old Victrola. Absolutely beautiful! In the end though, the 10 year old performance from her living room remains my fave for its emotional tug. Have a great day!

[@AvilaDreamer]

What fascinates me about comparisons like this is not primarily how Angelina's voice has developed. It's that it shows how even at a very young age Angelina knew exactly how she wanted to perform a certain song even though her voice wasn't developed enough to accomplish everything she wanted. It's also exciting when you realize that even though she's incredibly good today, we have to wait nearly ten more years before we know what she's really capable of doing with her voice.

[@larrypifer1103]

And she slipped in one of her sneaky vibratos on the second half of the word "mouth". That is the sort of thing she has been doing since the beginning. She wows everyone with the bigger parts of her singing but when you hear again and again, you start to notice these "stealth" wows.

She gives us a portal to another time. Her voice carries all those greats that show up with her in these. Her rooftop version of Every time We Say Goodbye , she stands right next to Ella. Which I can’t believe we’re even talking about it. Ella was the voice of the century. And now this happens. Whats thrilling is maybe we get to see her live. I was too young for Ella but i woulda seen her in a heart beat. Angelina’s voice just fills everything, minds, hearts, homes. The compilations on KZbin as house music or work music just makes home better, driving is great-cinematic even. She becoming an event , a happening.

[@TheBjornwilly]

I LOVED this reaction and analysis, perfect length 😘 AJ at 10 was so incredibly precious. Her artistic ability and ear was there in full, but at 16 she is very much developed and delivers a gorgeous piece of art/music... I don't think I can come up with a more gorgeous piece of singing than AJ doing this @ 16. I'm looking forward to seeing Angelina with a band that she's had some time with. I think she will be a household name, she deserves it. And the world needs her, and her goals to sing for the whole world, spreading love and kindness to everyone.

I could close my eyes and listen to her voice and her singing, and get lost in the feel.

[@dianedove1000]

You didn’t mention that she was singing in a lower key as a ten year old. Also, did you notice that at ten she was already changing the sound “a” into an “e” at the ends of words and is still doing it today? Also, both of these were Valentine “gifts” to her audience. I felt that she used almost all her tools in her toolbox for this latest version, as if she wanted to incorporate most of her abilities for us with this gift. Also, did you notice that at ten she pronounced the word Valentine as ValentiMe? I thought that was so cute because my kids used to pronounce it like that also! You did a great job here with your reaction. There are other songs she has performed more than once in her career at different ages that hopefully you will cover and compare as well.

Aww Bethany, that was fantastic to sit and watch you react to these 2 beautiful amazing renditions of this lovely song. For me you could have played all the way through both 3 times and dissected them and analysed them with you very knowledgeable expertise. I'd still be there listening and watching to the end. For me the 2022 version is as Kenta states the most beautiful version of that song ever and makes me really emotional listening to it every time. There are plenty of videos from love recordings from her summer concerts in Norway this year ( which I was fortunate enough to go and attend ) and I can tell you, listening live to her was even more incredible than I ever imagined. She is one special talent. So, I look forward to seeing you react to one of those. Any for me. ❤❤ Love the hair Bethany by the way. 💕

A genius focused on being better tomorrow, and succeeding beautifully.

[@pietersbart]

Thanks for this detailed analysis, very interesting! I love how you point out the differences between the two, thanks! Both versions are amazing. The first one is so sweet and endearing and you can see 10 year old Angelina throwing in all she has. In the second one you only hear her sing and it is incredibly beautiful. 16 year old Angelina slips and slides from note to note, plays with rhythm and pauses and uses her voice in so many ways. She shows so much growth and shows how her voice is maturing. She has a threefold way of warping time: - First of all she makes us forget about time for a little while. - The second way is that she takes us back in time to let us experience music as it was sung back than. - The third way is that takes classic epic songs and brings them in to modern times. In both versions she uses the first way and makes me forget about time. In the first version she uses the second way as well and takes us back in time 50 years and let’s us experience the way this song was back than. In the second version she uses the third way and brings this song to modern times and breathes new life in it. She is growing into her own voice and art. I prefer the new version as it touches me more emotionally, but again both are beautiful.

Fantastic reaction! Love your enthusiasm, appreciation of and admiration for Angelina. You do this right! Interestingly (for me anyway), is that while I can appreciate the technical growth in the later version, I still have a stronger emotional response to her earlier version. I am a little sad that we will never have the 7-10 (or12) year old voice of Angelina to experience live again. I so envy those who experienced Angelina through those early years. Big thanks to Grandma Mery and all others who recorded this treasure. The "new" Angelina is not less, just different. Wistful thoughts among those that continually await the next amazing Angelina release. Thanks again. I will watch this reaction many times.

In 10 years you may be thinking wistfully of how much you loved her at 16?

[@AXZ9340MB]

Pure talent, AJ is a prodigy .No doubt about it.A totally and complete professional artist. Since so young....God bless her.Thanks for the reaction you always precise and on point

I just loved this musical instruction using the marvelous voice of Angelina Jordan. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge so freely. You’re dedication to your profession has filled you with wonderful insight. And your generosity allows us to sample it. Thank you.

You are without a doubt the G.O.A.T. of all reactors!!! 1) you're absolutely beautiful. 2) your personality and enthusiasm are off the charts. 3) you tell us what Angelina is doing so we kinda understand. 4) you LOVE Angelina as much as we do!! you're the bomb...

I could see the disappointment in your face when you realized you weren't going to see her actually singing the 2022 version. I felt the same when I first watched that video. I hope she doesn't choose to do that again. Even if it is a voice-over of a performance, I would prefer it to the format she did in that version. But what I love more than any of that, is her willingness to experiment with her voice and artistic expression, displaying it to the public, regardless of how it may be received. For a decade she has shown us unabashed glimpses of her soul, somehow connecting it each time to ours. Thank you for visiting Angelina again and wowing us once more with your insightful reaction and analysis.

[@GrandmaEllen]

It is worth sticking it out with you for a longer video. Thank you for this. I loved hearing the contrasts. Grandma Ellen, over and out. 💜

I have never heard of this girl and song before, when i heard her talking she sounded like the kid she is, when she started singing i was like there is no way this is "her" voice. This has got to be an old soul in her that is singing, it gave me shivers, really. Beautifull 🙏💚

[@kevingood4644]

Today the best female singer on the planet !!!

[@flitemedic55]

Bethany; I have been waiting for your reaction to this great offering from AJ. You doubled down lady; And gave us a great reaction on two versions of AJs cover of this timeless song. Thanks much lady.

[@luzcorrea2071]

Gracias por la reaccion,esta niña te seguirá sorprendiendo👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🧡🧡🧡

[@clintonneuhaus1818]

For a split second, she nearly made this old man cry. I heard Billy Holiday come through her, and it was so moving.

[@ronraskind]

This was a truly remarkable video contrasting Angelina has a child singer and as a young adult singer. As spectacular as Angelina was and is, you are also a real professional at what you do. Thank you for all. Just a suggestion that would be useful for you and Angelina... You have some wonderful information in your description for your channel and for Angelina's videos. Unfortunately most viewers do not go to the description on their own. Please consider adding Angelina's official channel and encouraging your viewers to go to the description and interact with both yours and her links to support you both. In addition to watching the videos to the end, subscribing to both your channels is important. Of course, that would apply to any young aspiring artist. She deserves it and so do you! Peace.

Angelina ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@inspiradonogregoriano]

With ten years old to do a messa di voce crescendo with belting chesty mix and descrescendo to a light almost only head voice is really impressive.

[@squidkid2]

Great analysis. I think the early version is not only my favorite of the two but is so much better than the latter version. What the first performance may lack in vocal technique is more than made up for by the sheer emotional drive in her delivery. I think brave is the adjective that always comes to mind when I hear her young performances. She doesn't seem to hold anything back in the earlier version. She knows where she wants to go and doesn't worry about technique. She climbs inside the song and lets the brilliance of it shine through. These songs were written by the geniuses of the American songbook and the great singers all know (young Angelina included) that if you dig deep into this material it will shine like the diamond that it is. Kudos to Richard Rodgers for the melody and Larry Hart for the lyrics. These two are giants of American music and Angelina does them proud with this young version of their masterpiece. Rodgers was also the creator of the timeless standard Some Enchanted Evening which Andrew Lloyd Weber called the best song ever written from any American musical. I like to think that Richard Rodgers would be partial to the earlier version because it perfectly captures the intent of its creator IMHO. The later version is very elegant, but it seems a bit too polished for my taste. The technique is there but the raw emotion is missing. I think the first version is just a once in a lifetime performance, like Judy Garlsnd's version of Over The Rainbow in The Wizard Of Oz. Only time will tell if I'm right.

[@rogerevansen2882]

Thank you so much for such a GREAT reaction to this comparison of Angelina's development, both at barely 10 and at barely 16! She's always experimented with her voice and as many different vocal techniques as she could learn, yet I have never heard her once OVER-sing any song! I would think that it's tempting, especially for young singers who learn something new, to simply go crazy over this new ability, but not Angelina. The artistry of knowing where and when to sprinkle in various techniques to give the performance variety and color and texture is simply amazing. And just think, her physical instrument, larynx, vocal cords, etc. will not be fully matured for about another ten years! Oh. My. Goodness. Another decade of developing her control, her breath, her technical facility, and her artistry! Watch out world, Angelina is going to change popular music into something really special with not only her talent, but her working at becoming the best singer she can be! All of my best to you and yours!! Brilliant reaction!!

[@hannuhedman5882]

The 2022 version shows of course she is a real virtuoso but to me there is something very special in the 2016 version because there is really genuine emotion in her performance even though she was so young back then.

[@pascalpaquin2940]

you are right this young woman is fantastic a unique voice she has this magic gift, an emotion in her interpretation, certainly one of the most beautiful voices in the making very friendly

[@ros8737]

Her phrasing and timbre was heart gripping early on but it’s her creativity and sense of rhythm that makes this genially beautiful to me. Liked having these videos compared.

[@BelleHealingMusic]

She is the best singer who sings western music of all time. I love her singing since she was 7 and due to her, my jazz loving friend stopped talking to me when I suggested her NGT video back then in 2014. But I have to add As surely many languages have perfect singers in their own musical genres. We have “Uzun hava” or Turkish classical music San at muzigi and saying that she is better than one Zeki Muren, or Muzeyyen Senar or Asik Veysel is the description of hasty generalization. But obviously she is the best of western music singer ever in the history of western music of her genre. Of course she doesn’t sing an Arya or Opera yet so we can’t compare her with Opera singers. Angelina is amazing….

[@improveourselves3929]

You're welcome, happy to stick with you to the end. :-) yeah the earlier version may not be as developed, but it brings me to tears every time I hear it. Shockingly touching. The new version is just like it's so smooth and easy for her it's a fine wine and the most relaxed confident singer on the planet.

[@lars-thorenesheim9637]

If you want to hear her singing a different genre's you should try "I'm still holding out for you" when she was 10 years old. Many of us Angels fan thinks this is one of her best ever.
