Voice Teacher Reaction to Angelina Jordan - My Funny Valentine

Jazzelina Jordan!

[@longhwalee4760]

This has to be one of the very best versions of this song, modernized yet still Angelina jazz, her rich velvety voice, runs with grace, breathy voice, raspy voice. She's a musical genius.

Glad to have you back with Angelina, Valerie! This is jazz at it`s very best. This girl is a phenomenon, and this version of the song certainly one of the best anyone has ever heard. It is just unheard of, from a 16 year old girl, or any age for that matter. Thank you, your reactions are always some of the very best out there, so enjoyable! 😊💖

[@clydeatrowbridge]

i recently saw an interview with angelina @ 5-6 and she said she loves to come home from school and listen to jazz and paint. she directed this video and about the video of million miles where she is sitting in front of couch she sketched out all the scenes. the interlude of this video where she just showed the chandeliers i felt like i was floating among the clouds.

..... the female voice develops until late 20ies , I really didn't know that, thank you Valerie. O boy, o boy, what a journey this will be for all of us

[@victorsaume2917]

Every syllable is a different note, every note is a concert in itself, and you feel that all this comes from her soul and her heart. A generational talent. God bless her.

[@Nevelepride]

Thank you! This is a masterpiece! Her voice is beyond beautiful! The most beautiful Version I’ve ever heard!🌟🥰❤️

[@nfpnone8248]

The maturity of her artistry is off the charts, she’s come a long way from singing in her room, but those years of playing with everything is paying off, and you can hear the polishing that comes from Rob Christie at Republic Records, I expected a lot from Angelina, but even I didn’t expect what she is giving us now. I love Ella Fitzgerald, and Angelina took a master class in Ella’s artistry, and is taking it further, who knows where she will be in another decade.

Fantastic reaction to probably the greatest singer/song arranger of all time! What she does and can do is incredible, she pays attention to the smallest detail to bring the most Emotion. Remember she is trying to heal The World with her Love through Music. Aren't we who listen to her, so Blessed, God Bless!

[@berniescott4014]

Thank you Valerie for your jazzy insights.Ivan Mendez,famously her former guitarist,said that Angelina knows so much more about musical history than him,despite the age difference,and that was about 4 years ago!

[@ShanLiB]

Having never been a fan of this song, I have definitely become a huge fan of this version of this song. When Rusty uploaded it (and Boris did, too) I mainly just watched it, enjoying seeing Angelina going through the posing. But, the voice came through and grabbed me. No other singer has been able to do that. Now, when experiencing this performance, I almost don't even notice the visuals anymore as I'm caught up in the sound. I'm binging on this performance and it's been the main event of my day since it was posted in mid-Feb, 2022 (several times/day). I can't imagine Angelina being able to top this but, that is due to my failure of imagination. Not because Angelina can't do what she always does.

[@McDevittMike]

I too, hope Angelina never stops singing these jazz classics. She makes me feel that I'm hearing songs I've heard 1,000 times for the first time 😎

[@bingobillable]

Great reaction to probably the best version of this song ever recorded. I can’t believe you expect her voice to be better in her late 20’s.

[@larrypifer1103]

Angelina Jordan is an ARTIST that paints a canvas with the sounds and feelings that emanate from her ethereal being she is the Leonardo Davinci of storytelling song.

[@RobertDeMartin]

Thanks, Valerie! Although everything we see appears to be effortless, Angelina has put in a lot of work behind the scenes. When she begins to introduce us to more of her original work, incorporating jazz into whatever genre she wants to sing, is she , in fact, creating a whole new genre? All I know is when she is at the top and getting the worldwide recognition she deserves, how many young kids in the world will begin to emulate Angelina's style? Or, genre?

[@elaineparisi8626]

Hi, that was spectacular sultry romantic voice I think the song is probably from the 40's she wanted to achieve that look the Chandlers the vintage couches and chairs, I don't think she is to much in herself, she loves the camera for sure and she wants to be like any other teenager , also she did that song when she was 9yr in her house sitting on a chair whit no mike check it out it is fantastic I just loved it. Thank you for sharing your reaction!

[@rikmeistr46]

Off the charts!

[@ridgemanron]

She has absorbed the best features of numerous jazz greats from her stat as a little girl and whenever she applies this natural style of her's I always hear bits of Billie Holiday's unique breathy releases, but then she brings in those inflections like 'slurring' certain words and changing 'key' in mid-sentence like Amy winehouse would do, which when added to her own personal delivery, simply mesmerizes the listener. She is the reigning Queen Of Jazz, having redefined the genre tastefully, whereas Amy did it radically. The end result is simply captivating.

[@anonimouse1618]

Great reaction - yes you picked up everything - Angelina has a good ear, she listens and absorbs the classic sounds ans styles, then add her own interpretations - she has not reached the peak yet - goodness only knows where that will take us!

[@robertvirnig638]

I haven't heard every version of this song, but I am sure that it can't be sung any better; it was perfect. There may have been or not one of the great jazz singers of the past that sang it equally well, but Angelina at 16 has established herself as one of the greatest jazz singers of all time. Just most of the world hasn't figured it out yet. I'm sure her future is singing mostly pop music but she can't help but let her jazzy foundation be present in everything she sings. I hope when gets to the stage where she is singing mostly original music she still returns to these classic songs on a regular basis.

[@taniadecastro5399]

Mas eu espero que ela traga de volta o jazz e os outros estilos sejam só coadjuvantes. Fabulosa Angelina!

Angelina Jordan (16) has her own level that all vocalists will strive for in the years to come, and she will be the standard, and we also talk about communication skills, and belting only when the song requires it. She has nothing to prove, and we can be grateful to listen to this coming world star.

Everything you said about Angelina's version made total sense to me. Her combining Jazz, pop, soul R&B so tasteful and classy. I'd listen to it over and over and never get tired of it. Great reaction Valerie.

[@pietersbart]

This is right up her alley and she executes it amazingly adding a wonderful version in a long line of artists who performed this song. She skips, slides and glides over the tones using dynamics and uses her voice is many different ways. It is such a wonderful performance making me smile and feel warm. The point you make about listening first is very true. I happen to do it myself when I learn a new song. More by happenstance than by design. But now I’ll start doing it by design, thanks! I also think it is important for artists to explore many different venues where ever they want to go and their fancy takes them. The artists I enjoy most are artists who keep reinventing themselves and go off in different directions. At times it means that I may not enjoy everything, but it keeps them fresh, sparkling and shining. So though jazz is certainly her strong suit, I think it is great for her to try out all sorts of different styles :-)

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

Between this and her impromptu version of House of the rising sun🌞 she has let her roots grow and boost her into the a pure sound.. I had flashes of Julie London in her doing this.

[@ClaudioMarcucci7756]

Thanks for this wonderful and attentive reaction, Valerie. I love Angelina's covers. Not that calling them covers makes much sense, given how she manages to overturn and innovate in an unpredictable way everything she plays. I hope she never ceases to amaze us, because she is absolutely out of the ordinary and capable of empathizing like no one else. They are truly 16 years overflowing with unique talent and a fantastic jazz! 💛 🧡 ❤️

[@michaelasher9395]

The term cover, ( l think lawyers in the states created) in the jazz world doesn't even make sense. It almost like saying you're covering a sound. Maybe Angelina can teach us this, as well.

You are forgiven. Richard Rogers co-wrote with Hart before meeting up with Oscar Hammerstein (South Pacific, Oklahoma). I grew up loving these old songs and musicals. West Side Story, Brigadoon, Xanadu, Grease, all great fun and great tunes. This song is a treasure and Angelina has just done the definitive version of it.

[@keithserafy]

Thanks Valerie for another great reaction/analysis of this latest masterpiece by Angelina. I have loved this song since way before Angelina was born & have heard many legends perform it. She did this at 9 at a concert in Norway & it was beautiful, but this difficult song was a bit too much for her at the time. A year later she sang it again & it was even better. She made me tear up & the cuteness factor was off the charts. Six years later she does this which makes me cry like a baby & it's the most beautiful version I've ever heard, EVER! Sophisticated jazz master at16 with her arsenal of vocal techniques which she never over uses. Unlike most young singers, she never shows you everything she's got, just what's needed to interpret a particular song. I hope you & your family are dealing with your recent loss of your husband, you have my sincerest condolences.

[@103mrg]

Keith I thought your comment "she never shows you everything she's got, just what's needed to interpret a particular song." was insightful. Dimash, on the other hand, is always over the top and short on subtlety. That's why I quit listening to him.

[@keithserafy]

@@103mrg Agreed!

[@rogerandrus1806]

Great commentary on learning jazz. My kids' jazz band teacher (in the PNW) emphasized the need to listen to the jazz masters. Fortunately my kids grew up listening to jazz prenatal so they had an advantage. One daughter took vocal jazz lessons and is our Songbird. Love your reactions. Hope all is well.

[@sniperdk2039]

She is getting better and better…💪🔥🌸🌺🌹❤️🇳🇴🇩🇰

[@leechap3]

You hit the mail on the head Valerie. Angelina's embellishments are always so purposeful and congruent, and of course beautiful. Any legendary jazz singer would have been proud to have done them. There is a deeper principle of jazz improvisation that she understands and taps into just the right amount to "dress up" the song a little.

[@geirstianaaslund7141]

And the dressing up is never overdone and within her abilities in my opinion. Some didn't like the belting on this, but I think it adds a dramatic effect. She also tried to do it when she was 8, now she has the vocal skills to do it perfectly. And the final belting on Man's world was also not overdone, she balanced on a edge just before her voice would crack.

[@michaelasher9395]

@@geirstianaaslund7141 l get what you're saying, but as far as capability, she has grown greatly. You may have underestimated her chest voice. Vocally, she is a gentle giant. If she did " l Have Nothing ", today, l think we would see this.

[@branscombeR]

@@geirstianaaslund7141 As others have commented before, all 4 versions of this Rodgers & Hart classic that Angelina recorded seem to be founded on the 1956/7 Ella Fitzgerald one, which includes the preamble and a softer crescendo. Finally, with this one, she's able to not only achieve the Ella-inspired perfection she was clearly aiming for at ages 8, 9 and 10 but surpass it,. adding her personal signature in the process. From my observations, it would be possible for Angelina to make a decent living from re-interpreting the Great American Songbook but the 'superstar' status she sought as a child lies in a different direction. IMHO she is capable of creating 'new' jazz classics in the future ... a Great American Songbook v.2 ... now that would be interesting! R (Australia)

I’m smiling right along with you! It’s phenomenal how she sounds. It’s unbelievably unique. Thank God for Angelina. Truly. ❤️

[@larrypifer1103]

I put this 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 74 years of experiencing great vocalist and I can't wait for the rest of the story.

[@Dave-jo1hf]

Being a Sinatra fan since the early 50s, and experiencing him at his prime, I did not imagine anyone in my lifetime exceeding his Storytelling ability but Angelina at 16 has done it. She is ARTISTIC MAGIC like no other. It was stated that Quincy Jones told AJ she was the greatest talent since Michael Jackson. Now we know she is the greatest talent that we have ever experienced, but that was great coming from QJ.

[@geirstianaaslund7141]

Thank you Valerie for a very good reaction and educational analysis. You are able to explain in detail what we other unprofessional just can observe. Your explanations of that you also have to be a good listener to become a good Jazz singer explain it all. It is obvious that she is a extremely good singer, but I think probably she is one of the best musical listeners that exists. This is probably genetic from her grandmother and mother. (From some of her early videos her mother was active in discussion about arrangements, so this is probably in her DNA). The magic that Angelina has created since she was 8 is because of her understanding of music, especially jazz but also blues, rock and soul. She understands those small things that makes a song good, and with her fantastic and still developing voice extend those parts using world class techniques/voices. And as you said, the female voice is normally fully developed at 29. Wow, Imagine what her voice will be like in 13 years and all the beautiful music out there that she can recreate....

Like you said this song was composed by rodgers what you didn’t say was it originally sung by a child prodigy who sang it at age 17 in Babes in Arms by a girl named Mitzi Green. Both girls have a lot in common Mitzi was doing Vaudeville at age 3 ,Angelina wanted to sing for Simon at age 3 Mitzi was doing movies by the age of 10 Angelina also was in a movie at around that age. Do yourself a favor listen to both versions the similarities are uncanny if ever they were to revive Babes in Arms Angelina Is the one to do it. Both these prodigies were born to sing.
