Thanks for the reaction to our angel Angelina...She is simply the best...👍👏

Love your reactions Samantha of AJ. AJ is on another level above all other singers.

Samantha, always love your heartfelt reactions to Angelina - her music is so soul-stirring, time after time after time, for you and for us. Someone who had never even heard Angelina before, most likely the organizer of this event (called Other Songs Live, which honored songwriters) added a caption to a social media post of Angelina's performance along the lines of "One of the best live covers I've ever heard". This presumably from someone who has heard a LOT of music. She's once in a lifetime, and the rest of the world just doesn't know it yet ... but they will.

❤❤❤Love Angelina❤❤❤

Almostv100k subs. You go, girl! Love your reactions. Angie's personality and originality explodes live.😊

This good song is reborn with Angelina ❤

Her live vocals are better than 99.99% of others produced and auto-tuned releases.

Many have said this before: "Give the girl a shopping list or a telephone book and she will transfer it into the most beautiful song ever....". This is so beautiful.

A mí me pasa igual, la oigo y siento su música de forma tan especial que los bellos se me erizan. Qué GRANDE es xD!!!!!!

♥♥♥♥♥

This is actually the song on another level than the original. She fills it with emotions, she breaks out of the rhythm prison slows it down to communicate the emotions. Live emotions communicated like never before in this song ❤

Great reaction Samantha. No Angelina did not perform this song in Las Vegas in February. She was asked by Toby Gad to perform this song for his Piano Diaries album which was released in May. In an article from February Toby is talking about the project and who was recording with him but it seems that he still had not found someone to record this song. So Toby and Angelina probably hadn’t met yet by the time of her Vegas concerts.

Samantha, It is always so endearing when you display your emotion on video. Like Angelina, everything is real. I knew the original song by Beyoncé and heard it countless times although never really absorbed the lyrics. However, Angelina has made me understand the story and has taken it from a very flat and technical kind of song to an emotional journey. I know she will continue to do that throughout her career.

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

To expand on the story that Toby told about the song, he and BC Jean were writing songs for Jean’s debut album. They made a demo of If I Were a Boy but Jean’s label rejected it. Apparently her record deal eventually fell through so Toby took the songs they had written and marketed them to established artists. That’s how Beyoncé ended up recording this song. Jean supposedly wasn’t very happy about that at first because she had not planned on giving her songs to others but I think everything was worked out.

😀😀😀😀😀

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 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.

Your reaction here is the most concise, on point statement of Angelina's affect on her listeners. Thanks..

Her and Toby had another two perfromances 3 days later, just with him on the piano, no strings. The 1was st at the IVARDS Awards Backstage livestream from Amanzon Music, the 2nd at a tiny venue at a Sofar event. "Sofar" stands for "SOngs From A Room", and they had like 25 paticipants there. It was professionally recorded, and it was dropped just two days ago. and many fans believe its the best version of the song yet. Here's a link, in a playlist with all 6 different versions known so far: kzread.info/dash/bejne/jIWd0Zayd6q6f9Y.html

Samantha. I am glad this is the last latest video you did of Angelina's, which I loved. As you are Spanish, I am sure you you are going to love this one. It is Quite short. Think around 2 or 3min. Its not on your reaction list. This is Angelina singing in Spanish. Not whole song. I can not wait to here the whole song. Incredible. Her is the link. kzread.info/dash/bejne/f6ymt6ekoqnHp9Y.htmlsi=9mSt1rfcJ_SfdEz-

She is the best live , I've had the honor of seeing her twice live and there is nothing like it anywhere. She touches the soul and melts the heart with her talents and her love for her artistry and for her fans. What a lovely person

Samantha Watch the one that just came out of this song ! Its just her and Toby in front of like 50 people. Its A-mazing ! ❤️

fenomeno oggi nel mondo.

❤❤❤

Angie always gets to the essence of a song and allows us to understand and FEEL the emotions of the lyrics.

Although this song was made famous by Beyonce, this song was neither written by nor for Beyonce, so not her cover. This was co-written by Toby Gad and BC Jean for BC Jean and co writer Toby Gad asked Angelina to re-invent the song for him. Tobias "Toby" Gad (born 28 March 1968) is a German music producer and songwriter based in Los Angeles. He is known for co-writing songs including John Legend's biggest hit, "All of Me", the fifth-highest certified single in RIAA history, and for co-writing and producing "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie and "If I Were a Boy" by Beyoncé. Other notable works include "Skyscraper" for Demi Lovato, "Who You Are" for Jessie J, "Untouched" for The Veronicas, "A Year Without Rain" for Selena Gomez & the Scene, "Don't Hold Your Breath" for Nicole Scherzinger, "Love You More" for JLS, and "I Do" for Colbie Caillat. In the third quarter of 2014, Gad was ranked the #3 songwriter in America by Billboard, behind Ryan Tedder and Pharrell Williams.

Toby’s saying he was honored to work with Angelina leaves no doubt that he thinks she is the best young artist he’s ever heard.

Angelina is always at her best when she sings live. It's just a fact that her live versions are better than her produced studio performances.

Toby sees in Angelina what us dedicated fans know and love about her. She has all of the best personal and musical attributes that a young artist could possibly be be endowed with. Angelina Jordan’s, once-in-a-millennia talent is the best, hands down the best I’ve ever heard in my life. Her affect on me has been life altering. I’m absolutely addicted to her voice. I can not go a day without listening to Angelina sing.

Angelina's SoFar live performance of this is even better. She just gets better with every performance.❤ kzread.info/dash/bejne/jIWd0Zayd6q6f9Y.htmlsi=a_9bVG8n8Q8gzX30

The quality of Angelina's voice does not get compromised live because even in studio she does not use auto tune or anything like that like so many others. But Angelina is such a creature of the stage, she is often better live because I believe when she is on stage she gets feedback from the audience which makes her make different choices which makes everything even better ❤❤❤❤👣

Wonderful and sweet reaction, thank you Samantha. You freeze... you listen endlessly to her wonderful and powerful voice with her incredible low register and admiring her fantastic musical sensitivity, it seems impossible, but every song, simple or complex, that she rediscovers becomes a great new song. She is simply unique and with an incredible melodic perception. This rendition (not a cover for me) is absolutely healing for your soul, while the soft and simple background accompaniment of the piano of Toby give it a wonderful silky backdrop, until that moment wonderful whispered final phrase "...but you're just a boy".💛🧡❤

There are actually six versions of this out! Four are live performances! Two official videos! Beyoncé covered this song. BC Jean one of the cowriters originally sang this! Angelina’s exquisite talent and vocal’s allows her to tell the story of the song so the listener can feel the emotions behind the lyrics! She just showcased the audience her vocal abilities effortlessly! Look at her poise and grace, she has brought back elegance to the stage! She never fails to amaze! There is an even better video of this performance! New live version If I Were a Boy from Toby’s Piano Diaries: kzread.info/dash/bejne/jIWd0Zayd6q6f9Y.htmlsi=Mgr65Gs4TJ5VUu4_

La FUERZA

Hermosa reacción, muy emotiva.... amo las presentaciones en vivo de Angelina, me gustan más que las de estudio, en vivo siento su interpretación, sus sentimientos, su voz pura, limpia y avasallodora.... mágicamente épico... Saludos desde Chile

Samantha, I went to the Angelina Las Vegas show, which was a dream come true for this old Angel! The evening was the highlight of my life following Angelina's career from 7 to 18. Her voice was like a fine wine-matured bouquet satisfying your soul for jazz fulfillment. I was filled with tears remembering Angelina when she was a little girl wearing a white dress, missing teeth, long black hair, and now a breathtakingly beautiful young Lady!

Hi Samantha, Toby Gad is totally fascinated by Angelina and they are working together on new music, she looked absolutely amazing, look for the new song "Bad Valentine Live" an original song with Toby Gad see you soon

Samantha, I am so glad you reacted to this video, as you learned the story behind the song. Helps bring it to life.

Powerful message and vocals.👍👍

Thank you!

Sam, here's one that's even better: kzread.info/dash/bejne/jIWd0Zayd6q6f9Y.html. Just a piano and AJ.

Good performance, but audio not up to par. This one is better: kzread.info/dash/bejne/jIWd0Zayd6q6f9Y.html

I love her but this was a bit shouty in places.
