Christi thank you very much for this wonderful and interesting new reaction, I am happy to see that you have chosen her first song for RR ❤️ Truly this is a very sweet and very intense song, dedicated with infinite love to the maternal grandfather who passed away in 2019 and also to all the people who have lost someone they loved, but it's also a song full of hope and love, with beautiful lyrics, above all because written by a girl of only 14 years. Her first release was in November with a sweet version of lyrics and drawings, but this beautiful live version, which finally allows us to see her sing almost a year after her last public performance at AGTC, is priceless! 🤗 ❤️

I read that this song was in memory of her grandfather who was married to her maternal grandmother Mery Zamini. Mery met and married him when she was an Iranian student studying in Japan. While living in Norway her grandfather was very involved in charity work and used to take Angelina with him to help. Mery is very close to Angelina and, apparently, so too was this gentleman.

What is my favorite genre? Angelina Jordan. She transcends. I can follow her voice anywhere she takes us.

This outstanding young lady has already achieved legendary status. There is Angelina and then there is everyone else.

I think that the end being abrupt (before we're expecting) and unresolved (musically), are both characteristic of the loss of someone we care about. A credit to Angelina's songwriting and artistic genius to include those touches.

I suspect the most important thing they give to her is AUTONOMY. She has total artistic control and I think she will own the rights to all of her work too. That is something her Uncle (Manager) has always insisted on, even with her AGT performances.

This was totally dedicated for her grandfather who she was very close to

Republic is home to some terrific artists. It’s a good label for her. And they should be proud to have her. She’s a genuine prodigy. A rare once in a generation talent. A few more months and her name will be on the lips of everybody in the world.

Hi, world class performer AJ said this is dedicated to her grandpa also to families that have lost their loved ones, i got the chills when i heard it the first time. Thank you for reaction.

@rotorhead1942 described this song's background and genesis extensively. So there you have a lot of information, Christi. The fact that this young lady and her new record label decided that her debut would be this type of song, with a meaningful message, speaks loads about Angelina's personality and character. Kind, caring and humble. One thing I wanted to point out about Angelina is that she KNEW what she wanted to do in life since she was a small child. Since the earlier recordings we have of her, you'll find she has always been such a professional about her career! Even though she and her family wanted to take it slowly but steadily, she has worked all these years to develop and nurture her craft, and this song is a demonstration that at barely 15 she has achieved heights that other artists and musicians won't ever achieve. Another thing is that she has always been "at home", confident and relaxed when singing. She describes the feeling as going to another place in her mind, another realm, so to speak. And the most amazing fact is that she's able to grab the listeners' attention and make them accompany her on the journey, each going to their own place her voice conjures for them. Last but not least is the quality and tone of this video. Angelina's voice, a piano and a cello. Black and white reminiscing her "I Put a Spell On You" video and also, referencing her grandpa's passing being dressed in black. When she did a tribute to Freddie Mercury singing "The Show Mus Go on" she also dressed in black, something she doesn't usually do. Well, I stop blabbering now, haha. The fact is that Angelina has many layers to be peeled and discovered 😊

I believe that a major reason she signed with Republic is because they have a reputation for allowing artists to chart their own direction, which is very different than what we know about most record labels. That is also a the major reason why Taylor Swift left her original label and signed with Republic.

That was an awesome deconstruction of Angelina's voice capabilities you did there 💕 I'm overwhelmed by the fact you mentioned that her voice will perhaps continue to develop another 10 years! It boggles the mind.

I’m a big fan of Angelina. You should know that I’m also a big fan of yours. I’ve seen ever Angelina reaction you’ve done at least 25 to 50 times each. It reminds me of when I was a kid and we would bring our records to each other’s house to listen, sing along and talk about the songs and artists like Steely Dan, Rod Stewart and the Eagles. I look forward to your future reactions. If you don’t have time to react you might treat yourself to Angelina’s new release of My Funny Valentine. Thanks, Larry from Indiana

Christy many thanks for your reaction to our barefoot princess. I am trying to wrap my head around the possibility Angelina's voice will continue to develop for 10 more years. I think Angelina has done well so far in taking care of her vocal instrument. She rarely belts or goes out of her comfort zone. Many other vocalists try to reach new heights on a regular basis and that can't be a good thing over the long term. Angelina has demonstrated tremendous maturity through her young life, giving hope of a very bright future. Her empathy needs to be admired as well. I read she has been buying meals for the homeless in Los Angeles. Angelina is my all time favorite musical artist and she inspires me to be a better person.

What a nice comment! ❤ We need young people who show great hearts and great compassion for others! Well done Angelina, well said Andy 😉

May god protect her always

"Where she can 'start' to grow artistically" She's been growing artistically since she was a six year old. Now she's transforming and refining the skills , the gift, that she was already given years ago. She's definitely one of a kind.

First seeing her at 7 yrs old on NGT i looked at my wife and said, "this child has a gift. Just wait and see what happens with her." And here we are. She is breaking all barriers.

So nice your reaction(s)! Her voice is very pleasant to listen to, but also so captivating and sort of calming! And her taste for artistry, ... she has class, style, a sense of beauty! Thanks for your insights!

"A levity in her spirit" You mean AJ has grown wings and is ready to create new territories in music? I can only imagine where this immensely talented young lady will take the world of music? If Republic allow her to spread those wings it will be glorious, I know that much! Great reaction and comments. xxx

That 'Persian Princess' DNA she got from her grandma (Mery Zamani) is so evident now. At 6ft. tall, with those looks, she can go from the model's runway to the concert stage in a 'New York Minute'.

ANGELina showing off the result of loads of hours, dedication and love for music, ....and we're barely started ^^ Being able to follow it in the way we are, from age 6-7, what a GIFT to humanity. Last time that was done, though not as close up and personal as with ANGELina, must have been Michael Jackson and Jackson 5? Quincy Jones was right... (imo... ;) )

Thanks for yet another great review of Angelina that we love. This song she had written is really a modern piece. Fits the times perfectly.

The song is masterful in melody and lyrics.That bridge is just fantastic and the whole song, which has been constantly flowing away, rests so beautifully on that last chord. So clever.!! Happy for her.

Angelina can highlight her voice with almost any Melody line. Her octave range is superb and her lower register is a killer! She does Elvis Presley songs extremely well and there are mashup duets online of that. Please react to How Great thou are was she showcases her lower range in an incredible way!

This song is produced by Stargate who also helped Angelina write it.

I'm a 55 yr old punk rock guitarist that will follow her no matter which way this wonderful talent goes! Angelina taps into one's emotional center with her vocals and writing.

Your reaction was so interesting,I especially enjoyed your discussion of Angelina the artist.Elegant and captivating,I can only try to imagine her polished live performances to come.

So sensitieve your comments! Through your ears I listen more attentive! To be free to express your heart ! Fascinating! Captivating, I fly with my new wings born from liberation the earth limitations and gravity in all its implications

You're as always spot on, Christi, and your deconstructions a reference! 🤩 This what she said about it: “Million Miles” is about losing someone you really love,” she explains. “This song is very personal to me, because I had never felt the feeling of losing someone before I wrote this.” and “I hope you feel connected to the music and the stories behind the songs,” she leaves off. “Love is the most powerful thing though."

I guess the pressure would probably have been the greatest when she first entered the stage at Norways got Talent at age of 7. But she seemed to me like an excited kid absorbing the experience of entering a large shiny candystore. Her happy place - thats clearly singing on stage to a large crowd. She did a tribute to her late grandfather earlier. This song is about her second grandfather who died recently. She mentioned that on her Patreon, it was a huge blow to the family. I'll spare the details, it's clearly family business.

She never feels pressure or stress. She loves singing, she says she goes into a "magical place" when she sings.

Back in 2014 this little 7 year old girl first struck a world dumb with a talent that most said was God given. She became known by many as "The Barefoot Princes of Music". Throughout her years growing up we all where mesmerized by this little girl with the Old sole and the voice and stile of Amy Winehouse and Billie Holiday. By age 12 we all knew she was destined to greatness and many in the Music industry where reacting either by vying to sign her or hoping to silence her. Cover after cover she brought back hits that the music industry either could not duplicate or match and she did it with her own style and not only matched them but made them better in a way that was humble and showed respect to those that she copied. Every one was whispering and wondering what would happen when she got older, could she wright her own stuff and could she sing fresh material or was she just a mimic. Most of her fans knew the answers to those and we have waited. Any one that sings as she does from a place of Joy in the art, respect for those who she has learned from and real Happiness in her ability to make others feel happy was destine to greatness. Her secret weapon was faith in her self, her craft and her family. She never thought about the money only making beautiful music. Now here we are, She steps out on the stage still barefoot, still the pretty young girl we all love but she has her own voice now, her own words that she has begin to express at the age of just 15. With them she has gone from the Bare foot Princes Growing in to the confidant caring and thoughtful Queen of her profession. How can that title be hers, She embodies all the best qualities of those she benefitted from, Heart, strength of commitment, and character. A real love of her talent and her art that is not driven by greed but of the pure desire to do what she loves and in a way that embodies all the best traits of her idols and mentors. To this I can only add, Long Live the Queen.

I love this performance she is fantastic I Listen to this everyday, it's a healing song and so well written And that the loss she is sharing with us, for her age it's it really hits home for so many including myself Great reaction Thank you Please keep them coming

A beautiful in-depth reaction to a beautiful breathtaking gift from God to us all. We love this young lady with a golden voice and the way she can lovingly and emotionally grab our hearts. Such a beautiful , talented , humble spirit she is.

I have spent more than six decades treating music as something that happens in the background while I am doing something... this is the first time in my long life that I actually sit back and the primary if not sole thing I am doing is listening to this talented young lady.

She actually signed with Republic when she was 14, and they and her family have kept her protected until she finished her schooling. Rob Christi has been playing the piano for her and with Cole McCarthy they have been guiding her. Of course gran Mery is also very involved. Angelina is a blessing to us all.

Thanks, beautiful reaction

I think that you hit the nail on the head regarding her contract with Republic Records... They are giving her total freedom to do and grow how she feels comfortable.. If that makes any sense.. Lol.. I absolutely adore this girl.. Been following her for years.. Since gloomy Sunday.. Thanks for the reaction.. I think she will do brilliant things also.. Not only with her beautiful singing voice but as a humanitarian.... She's just the BEST.. I'm soooooo looking forward to see her in concert in the future.. XXX 👌👍🥰😘🇬🇧

Hi again, AJ knows what poverty is as her father was stationed around the world in many countries. AJ grew up like a princess, and to see that other kids don't have that comfort and understanding it from an early age on, makes her so special. In her book she wrote, when meeting that shivering girl (it was winter in this part of the world), that girl thought that AJ was a real princess with her very beautiful mother behind her and AJ wearing good clothing. AJ answered "no I am not a princess, but I will call you princess" .So bless you all, stay save and healthy. German greetings.

You are correct she did write this song for her grandfather. Infant she wrote tis song before she signed with Republic Records. She performed it for one of the founders of the Company and was offered on the spot.

The editing in your reaction videos are on a completely different level to other channels. Love the breaks in and out of the full screen videos with your deconstructions.

She won Norways got talent when she was 7 - she says she is never stressed when she sings - so just enjoy her

Angelina's grandfather, must watch You Were Always On My Mind

The guy playing the piano is multiple Grammy winning producer Rob Christie, he’s chief executive for RR in California, so she’s in good hands, incidentally the studio is in his home.

Song written about her now deceased grandfather (2018?) with whom very close. Eclectic background with Iranian grandmother and Japanese grandfather. I do not know if the grandparents were original couple as AJ’s mother has no oriental features I’ve discerned.

I can see this song being used for a musical score in a movie! Awesome job girl!

I would just like to comment on Angelina's vocal diction; it's superb often times. I like how she usually very clearly pronounces or enunciates consonant sounds such as the letter "t" at the end of a sentence. She's been doing this since she was a tyke if you look back, for example in I Put a Spell on You, when she says, "I ain't lyin'..." she pronounces that "t" on "ain't" quite clearly and I've always appreciated singers that can do that or choose to do it. It's true that at times she doesn't pronounce the words with perfect clarity but it seems when it's truly needed she does so. Steve Perry was also very consistent in doing this during his Journey years.

Outstanding analysis. U nailed it.

This was a farewell song for her grandpa, who died recently.

Yes it’s her grandfather he was Japanese they was very close and he passed away He went to Japan had a memorial for him last song he sang in Japanese

What I know that song is dedicated to his grandpa who passed away good reaction christie

She wrote this for her grandfather who she was very close to

she is A⭐

7th Heaven was her first original with Republic, but she insisted that Million Miles be released first. The pianist is a producer and award winning pianist with Republic. He has been with her for years. You see him reading the sheet in I Put a Spell on You. Also check out You Make Me Feel So Young with she was 13.

Thanks!!!!! Your analysis is very professional and I need for such vocal couch!!!!! Bravo!!!!!

This took many takes to get as everyone kept breaking down in floods of tears as it was so emotional for Angelina

Should watch the other version of million miles

First time reacting always love hearing the perspective of Vocal Coaches but when it comes nerves she has nerves of steel have watched every performance of hers Thousands of times, she was once interviewed and asked if she ever feels nervous in front of big crowds and she had to ask her interpreter what that meant. I just hope Republic Records does right by her because part worries they signed her so she did not start covering Taylor Swift their big moneymaker, because in my opinion as well as many their is not an artist out there now who can even bring to the table what she does.
