“Her voice, to me, sounds expensive.” Spot on. Her voice sounds so very rich. I like how you brought up her vowel and consonant articulation. She studied jazz since she was a toddler so you’re correct that she chooses her vowels and consonants purely for the sound and feeling it creates. And for me, she nails it. Her storytelling is unmatched in contemporary voices.

[@scottbaldwin7862]

We angels say, Angelina doesn’t cover songs, she uncovers them. Shows their true meaning as the composer intended them to be.

I enjoyed your reaction to Angelina. Toby Gad is a multi Grammy award winning songwriter and producer. He has produced award-winning hits for many of the biggest superstars in the music industry, including names like Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, Demi Lovato, Beyoncé, and more. He has recently produced an album of his top songs called Piano Diaries. As co-writer, he invited Angelina to perform If I Were a Boy with him at piano, and with cello. It was also released with a music video, but many prefer the piano version. The song was originally made famous by Beyoncé in 2008, and has received over 600 million views. Most believe Angelina's version is much more intimate and emotional, and she has reimagined it rather than covered it. Toby and Angelina also have been working on some original music, the first of which is a pre-release that you are reacting to. Bad Valentine is a jazzy, soulful, and powerful song that is perfectly suited for Angelina's voice. I think it has great potential to be the launching pad for the next phase of Angelina's career. Toby Gad is very influential in the industry and this collaboration is undoubtedly a huge break for Angelina.

@@hans-georgschroter7887 Not me I always make the effort to live in the present moment because I know full well that the past only exists through the process of memory or remembrance that we choose to recreate, we must remember that everything we do is always done in the present moment if a person allows himself to be dragged into the past he loses all freedom of choice and fair and informed decision because he will be influenced by the emotions from the past. For me the past is no longer a reference only the present moment offers me immense freedom of decision-making choice at every moment of my life, that's the magic of the present moment, of course you have to have this state of consciousness at every moment of your life . Good day.

A quick word about the Angels. We are fiercely loyal to Angelina, many of us having watched her in real time as she grew up over the past 10 years or so. But we are also incredibly welcoming to others who also appreciate her talent. As you know, the rabbit hole is deep. But it is one of the friendliest places on the internet. Now, if you want to be truly shaken to the core you should turn back time to watch one of Angelina's auditions for Norway's Got Talent, where she channels Billie Holiday to sing "I'm A Fool to Want You". Already impressed? Well, she does the whole thing acapella and lands it completely in key. At seven years of age.

[@lydiabentley3413]

Not all angels are welcoming, but the rare few are. Just look at the likes, most are just supporting a friend

[@Pyanfar]

Many people would suggest starting with her performances on Norway's Got Talent, but she sang What A Difference A Day Makes shortly afterward, and she sings it wonderfully, so don't miss that one.There really is no way you can go wrong with Angelina. Some recordings are fan videos made with a phone and are of poor quantity audio. These are still things that Angels want to see, but I'm not sure that they are how I would introduce someone to her. She made several appearances on Norwegian TV after she won NGT, and these are professionally produced recordings that offer more clarity in hearing her early capabilities. Of course the recordings made by Republic Records when she was 14 are excellent but there are still real gems that her grandmother recorded of her singing at home with just a guitarist, and these are very good recordings of her at 12 years of age. I do really love the studio recording of her at six, but this is really something that people who are already fans of Angelina would want to see as opposed to what would be more interesting to someone who has never heard of her IMO. There are several long time Angels who will offer pre-selected lists intended to introduce her to new listeners, and these may be good places to start. I have really enjoyed your reviews of Angelina so far and look forward to many more! You guys are great! My own discovery of Angelina has been a wonderful experience, and I believe you will enjoy discovering her growth as an artist as well. She is just fantastic both as a person and as a vocalist. Enjoy!😊

[@kentovewagenes1141]

The richness in her voice is incredible. Someone mentioned the word Frybrato, and I think that suits her. If you like Amy Whinehouse, you will absolutely love Angelinas new unreleased song Bad Valentine. Its crazy good and her voice is 🔥🔥🔥

[@jimbinder7472]

She also does the church video with the first half Acapella ! Maybe you didn’t see that version. It’s amazing my friend. She’s truly a gift to us regular humans 😁😁😁😁. I love your Angelina reactions very much. I must have watched both your reactions (3) 8 times each. Thanks again.

Summer breeze, or typhoon, AJ performances have the gravity of Jupiter. Angelina Jordan's musical prowess is evident in her dynamic range of performances. Her collaboration with Toby Gad on the song "Bad Valentine" showcases her ability to deliver powerful vocals, and song writing skills that resonate with her audience. Meanwhile, her restrained performance at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony highlights her versatility and sensitivity to the context of the event. Jordan's ability to convey deep emotion through her music, whether it's the raw energy of "Bad Valentine" or the poignant subtlety of "Unchained Melody" performed at the Nobel tribute, allows listeners to experience a profound connection to her artistry. Her performances are not just about vocal talent but are a testament to her understanding of the power of music as a universal language of human expression.

[@christophersmith7041]

Absolutely phenomenal arrangement by Angelina, wait till you hear the cathedral live version, If I Was A Boy written by BC Jean and Toby Gad, originally sang by Jean later Covered by Beyoncé, Grammy Award winner and musical producer, Toby Gad approached Angelina to reinvent his song, he mentioned Angelina has the ability and emotion he wanted, Toby and Angelina are working on new music together which is exciting for us Angels, Angelina is so special her beautiful soulful jazzy pitch perfect voice touches your heart and soul, AJ has amazing voice control and a master of the lowest notes,her fans named her the barefoot Queen of jazz and soul with a thousand different styles and vocals, she can sing any genre,Angelina and Toby dropped an original called ( Bad Valentine) check it out it’s stunningly awesome, great reaction thanks 🙏

[@tomrogers1305]

Angelina's doesn't exactly have fans. We've watched since she was just a wee babe and we've become her adoptive parents/grandparents, cheering every accomplishment and hope for the future. We're proud of every new release as if we had something to do with us.

I have to admit that when I drove up to the Westgate Hotel in Las Vegas and saw her name and picture in lights it was a proud moment.

[@jimbinder7472]

@@tomrogers1305 I agree with what you said. My wife thinks I’m crazy that I think of Angelina as a granddaughter. I just do. I’ve been watching her since 2000 when I flew back home to Ohio. My brother picked me up at the airport and on the way home he asked me if I ever heard of Angelina Jordan. I said no I haven’t. He told me I should check her out. I did ,and now I don’t listen to anyone else because everyone else is just not as good. I am so proud of her that I cry every time I hear her sing. She is such a sweetheart with a big heart ❤️

Angelina is not only a one-of-a-kind vocal stylist, but also she is emerging as a brilliant song writer as well. Her lyrics in each of her songs have singular hooks. She has worked with some of the best in the business. Toby Gad is the most recent and we are looking for more wonderful things to emerge from this collaboration. Her art and humanity are on another level. The more I listen to her the more I want to listen to her. If you dive deeply into her songs online there is so much to enjoy as she explores various genres and collaborates with so many talented musicians from around the world. I admit that I am addicted but in this case that is a good thing.❤

Great reaction John and Richard!!! Love all your comments , and analysis

[@michaelrogers7426]

Your analysis is spot on. Angelina plays with the words. They are both means of conveying meaning and emotion for her, and they are sounds to be sung. There are many examples of it in her other songs. Perhaps she does this because English is not her first language. Or she just is a musical genius from another galaxy.

The only reason she isn’t a household name is because she has an abundance of class and an amazing family that looks out for her well-being, all in good time.

[@johnvasi]

You’ll see as you watch more that Angelina grabs you at the first notes-and you’re hooked for the whole ride. Her voice is immediately recognizable with the best low register I’ve ever heard from a woman-or a child. She makes you understand lyrics in a way the original singers never tried. Following something you said, if I were a lyricist, I’d want Angelina to sing my song. She sings to each of us individually-even in songs like this one which I don’t particularly like. Bohemian Rhapsody-possibly the best live performance I’ve ever heard-should be your next. Her incredible arrangement, her voice, her presence-all at 13 years old. (New reactors frequently say they want to hear Angelina chronologically. That just doesn’t work because there are dozens and dozens of amazing performances before her teen years-and you’ll want to hear her later work).

Fabulous reaction to my new new angels. Thank you for continuing your wonderful Journey with our beautiful barefoot princess. This is the pop video of the song that produced with Toby Gatt. Angelina has , I think seven versions of this song with with Toby and they're actually even more wonderful to watch. As you have already mentioned. I would suggest that you get a chance to watch her other videos called "Bad Valentine" with Toby Gat live which is absolutely fantastic that will become a single next month and also "Unchained Melody " from her live performance at the Nobel Peace prize last December in Oslo, Norway at 17. She demonstrated a fantastic emotional connection to that song that is one of her best live performances ever with the world famous Kork orchestra from Norway. More importantly, to get the real bang for your dollar, I would suggest two of her earlier performances. Both live with an orchestra called "Loving You" and " . It's a man's world" when she was only 11 on stage. It is absolutely mind-blowing like"I Put a Spell on You." Angelina at a young young age was absolutely overwhelmingly powerful and delivered vocally dynamic performances ! . Guys keep posting. You've got 300 videos to go and I'm glad that you're on this journey with us. Every one of them will amaze you and you guys are fantastic because you have so much to talk about and are so informative and intelligent in your commentary. Your KZbin!

Fantastic reaction, thanks Richard and Johnny. This is a more rhythmic, thanks to the percussion, and less urgent version of the other in the cathedral, with a walk in an urban setting, probably more suited to younger listeners and with city overtones. It's however another wonderful rereading of this song, so sweet and powerful at the same time, her voice seems to fill the streets she travels. Angelina always manages to bring the soul of the songs to life. Also listen to the new song just released by Angelina and Toby Gad, "Bad Valentine", it's pure and beautiful power! 💛🧡❤

[@johndoe-gt6gp]

If you want an example of just what a prodigy/genius she is I think you would be well served to go back to one of her first visits to the studio at age 6/7 when she sang “I Who Have Nothing” and then hit the 4 NGT videos. Those show her obvious growth in the span of a year or so. Be sure to get the longer NGT videos with subtitles so you can read the judges comments. Those videos will give you a foundation of just how special this girl is. She is a musical force of nature. From there, it’s anything goes.

[@paulwagner9303]

When Angelina was asked by an interviewer at the Ivors Awards how she approached the reinterpretation of this song, her response was: "When I do covers, I love to make it my own, to do an rendition of it basically." As for modifying vowels, dropping consonants, changing whole words, not finishing sentences - she is often criticised for this (no "clean" lyrics) - but using these tools from the Jazz singers toolkit really helps to create her own magic. She's also great in using empty space. It is said she learned phrasing from Sinatra, which he was the master. Plus as Frank once said "I never let a song get in the way of my storytelling" and she sticks to that - she's a great storyteller already (you guys remember her "Suspicious minds" rendition at age 16?). As for suggestions, that's a hard task for 90 minutes ain't long - you can include 18 songs, maybe 20. Way to less. Most2dot0 has a good list for newbies, but (rigthfully) focused on her own originals. As for her signature song "Fly me to the moon" I like her acoustic version (salt lake video) more rather then the one on The View. Other suggestions in addition to Most2dot0 list: 1) What a difference a day makes - a very small 8yo in the middle of a huge crowd 2) Every time we say goodbye (TV2 TV broadcast, age 10) 3) Lovin' you and 4) Cry me a river (both from her 2017 summer concert tour at age 11) 5) It's a man's world ("It's Magic" album release concert 2018 = 12yo) 6) Welcome to my world (13yo) 7) Stay (12 yo) 8) Summertime, with KORK orchestra (NRK TV broadcast, 10yo) 9) Easy on me (Adele cover, studio version, 15yo) 10) Unchained Melody on Nobel peace prize tribute concert (NRK TV broadcast, 17yo) 11) Good in Goodbyes and 12) Diamond (both originals from her EP "Old Enough", 17yo) 13) Nat King Cole's The Christmas song (recently featured in a Netfli* movie, released on her 2023 Christmas EP but recorded in 2021 = 15yo) 14) I'd rather go blind (IG post 2019, 12/13o) As for Very different performances: Song for A (classical/cinematic), Above the water (EDM), Something's got a hold on me (kind of gospel), ... --> reserved for another 90 min ;-)

How this cover came about: Producer, musician, songwriter Toby Gad recently released an album (May) called Piano Diaries which includes reworkings of songs that he co-wrote. He asked several different artists to provide vocals on these new versions for his album. Angelina was asked to provide the vocals for this song. Two versions were released that use the same vocal track however with different instrumentation. There is this version with more contemporary instrumentation and a version with more stripped down instrumentation which allows you to hear the details in her performance more clearly. Prior to this release and since, she and Toby have performed the song live at least 5 times. Toby says that Angelina is very inspiring so they are actually working on new material also.

The three songs she sang at AGT are all phenomenal … at 13 years old!

Amazing reaction! Waiting for the next!!🤩🤩🤩

Welcome to The Rabbit Hole. Get comfortable. There is no escape. But the company is good. Some of us saw Angelina in her first public US concert last September in Portsmouth NH. It was 2 hours we'll never forget.

Never Forget.....English IS NOT Angelina's first language.....she now INTENTIONALLY sings with an accent.

[@pjg58x]

Any accent she may have had she lost a long time ago. Even in the pre performance interview on The View when she was 8, she really didn’t have an accent.

She is from 🇧🇻 lived one our from me..

Both covers of this by Angelina are glorious but I prefer the stripped down version Piano Diaries. That version lets her voice absolutely shine. Thanks to Toby for asking her to sing this cover of his song for his Piano Diaries album. Toby is quoted saying, “Working with Angelina has been nothing short of inspiring. Her ability to channel profound emotion through her voice adds a whole new depth to the song.” They are also working on other songs for AJ. This will be huge for her.

Her recordings are fabulous… her live performances are exponentially better.

*UP NEXT, ANGELINA'S NEW RELEASE "BAD VALENTINE" CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU GUYS TO COVER IT!*

[@peterstadelmeier]

Hi guys, yes the omission of consonants is due to her jazz background, and you're right, she is a godsend for every sound engineer because she doesn't use and doesn't need autotune, for me she is the best singer in the world right now and Tony Gad has asked her for this and other songs, one song that hasn't been released yet can be heard here on KZbin Live with his permission, you just have to search for the song "Bad Valentine"

If you want to go back to the beginning, then check out Gloomy Sunday. It was her audition for Norway's Got Talent at the age of 7. And then you can just go chronologically, you'll see how her voice was changing, the development is really noticeable and might be of interest especially to Richard💜

the Piano Diaries cathedral version is my favourite by far. just my humble opinion

[@bobanderson9141]

Tbu gad says working with someone who can pull the emotion from a song is great. Her followers knew that long ago.
