What is so impressive about young Angelina is that she chooses well-known or iconic songs-and she gives us her version of them. She has the musicality and the confidence to go her own way with these songs. And of course, she then gives us her uniquely beautiful voice interpreting the lyrics so that we understand and feel every word. The hit version of this song by Roberta Flack about 50 years ago was absolutely beautiful-like nothing we heard before. Angelina, at 11 years old, offers her version-and it’s done so respectfully and emotionally. Beautiful.

Angelina is not 11 years old Here Angelina is 10 years old - kzread.info/dash/bejne/h6aGt8SiiJXKm84.html Here Angelina is 11 years old - kzread.info/dash/bejne/k39n1qOwmJDffMY.html

It's not the impressive voice that makes her so special, it's her unique interpretation of every Song she covers, making them her own. An Angel soul 😇 creating new great music 🎶 About the diamond 💎 she wrote an own great Song 😀

Sono pienamente in sintonia con le tue impressioni e col commento di Claudio Marcucci . Un esempio incredibile è la sua reinterpretazione di suspiciuos minds di Elvis. Un capolavoro di arrangiamento e interpretativo

Love your reaction. This is one of those that make me think there are singers - good, very good, exceptional - and then there is Angelina... with a completely incomparable ability to transmit the emotion of a song.

Egil the guitarist started working with her when she was 8 and they have continued to collaborate when ever she is in Norway.

Once again, incredibly insightful. Yes I agree,. The video was probably being directed by Grandmother. Her Grandmother is an artist and often close by. Another thing to consider is that these home sessions are spontaneous. The arrangement is done just prior to recording. This pair feeds off each other.

I don't think these videos are directed at all. As I understand it (from watching Alan Papiers interview with Egil) they happened when Angelina visited Egils "studio". Quite impromtu, no rehearsal beforehand, lyrics on Angelinas phone, microphone plugged into Egils guitar amplifier, camera (with it's tiny microphone) on a tripod - and go.. One or two takes.. No direction whatsoever.. 🙂

In an interview, the guitarist, Egil Claussen, said these home videos are totally "raw," with no preparation or post production, just Grandma Mery's videocam.. Neither of them know the song well, she is reading the lyrics on her i-pad & he spent 15 minutes learning the chord changes. They usually don't need a 2nd take unless he messes up (she never does) & it's totally done on the fly. That's the genius of Angelina & good guitarists just follow whatever she does.

I always feel like the light shines on her from Heaven. Excellent reaction and analysis Paolo.

I do not have your technical background in music. To me Angelina instinctively knows when she sings, what manner of singing will express her interpretation of the songs intent, that gives it the feeling that the writer intended, and Angelina is a VERY emotive singer, and you WILL feel that emotion. I do...and I've been in love since.

This tribute to Roberta Flack is a 'spot on' rendition where Angelina just brings her 'Jazz' roots to the fore and simply mesmerizes the listener. The fact that it is a casual 'at home jam session makes it all the more remarkable.

Thank you for another excellent reaction. I really appreciate the depth of your observations and the fact that you are willing to express your feelings. There is another cover she does, the English version of Jacques Brel Ne me quitte pas, or If You Go Away, sung at roughly the same age. For me, it shows her ability to understand and portray a wide range of emotions, from hope to despair.

It’s interesting that in almost every song, even if it’s just a “hey let’s record a song” video, she has these moments of magic that are like 🤷🏻‍♀️ a religious experience🤷🏻‍♀️even for the not religious, hard to explain, she has a passage here that is absolutely one the most beautiful things I’ve heard. She just makes beautiful art,

Paolo, I agree with every comment you made. You were spot-on with Angelina's techniques and choices throughout the song. She has a very high musical IQ. The lighting on her face, I think, was not planned. In fact, the song was not planned until a few minutes before recording, which makes her performance even more amazing. We see her reading the lyrics as she interprets her version on the fly. The guitarist, Egil Clausen, in an interview said that all of their "home" videos were spontaneous. They would play off of each other - do you know this song?, do you like this song?, I discovered a song and want to sing it, etc. They would decide on a song and Egil would go over the chords, etc. while Angie downloaded the lyrics ... then record the first take. Occasionally a second take was recorded. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qmmrudqkZcm_epM.html

Questa è la versione della cover di Roberta Flack, che ha dietro una storia interessante. Ho letto da qualche parte che è stato Clint Eastwood ha rendere famosa questa versione inserendola credo nel suo primo film da regista. Clint contatta Roberta per dirle che è interessato a inserire la canzone nel suo film. Lei gli chiede se deve farla come l'originale, cioè più veloce, lui gli risponde che va benissimo così. Una delle caratteristiche di Angelina è di rallentare i tempi delle cover che realizza, per cui è perfettamente a suo agio con la versione di Roberta Flack. Qui la cosa incredibile è che mentre canta legge i testi. Avrà ascoltato 2-3 volte la canzone, sufficienti per assimilare il tempo musicale e soprattutto la storia, che è la cosa che più credo gli interessi, essendo a mio avviso la più grande narratrice in circolazione. Il set non è mai a caso quando dietro la telecamera c'è come in questo caso la nonna, che è una nota artista e se ne intende di composizione scenografica. Concludo con il dire che a mio parere la versione di Roberta Flack è inarrivabile. Angelina è una delle poche nonostante l'età ad avvicinarsi.

This is simply one of the most beautiful things I ever heard. Such a remarkable young mind to have these ideas for the song and the ability to execute them so well.

So many times soloists studies a piece (played on an instrument or sung) for weeks.. Every nuance.. plans it out in minute detail.. and the result is contrived and forced.. no natural flow.. And this girl doesn't rehearse the song in advance at all, it just flows naturally out of her.. A complete musical genius.

Angelina's voice hugs my soul.

Actualmente sin duda alguna la mejor vocalista inigualable, México

beautiful comments

Bellissima e attenta reazione Paolo, considerando che in gran parte la sua evoluzione tecnica è realizzata in autonomia, la sua capacità di lettura e di interpretazione di queste "semplici" canzoni che lei sceglie è semplicemente stupefacente, tanto più per come sembra facile per lei cantare in questa maniera. Egil, lo splendido musicista, è in pratica il chitarrista che l'ha accompagnata nei primi anni della sua evoluzione e si sono integrati perfettamente imparando a conoscersi molto bene. Questa splendida ragazza ha una sensibilità musicale e una capacità espressiva che va oltre la mia comprensione. La passione e il talento di Angelina sono semplicemente fantastici.💛🧡❤ Paolo dovrai andare più veloce con le reazioni, 😂perché quello che sta realizzando ora questa incredibile diciottenne è di una bellezza e di un peculiarità veramente notevole e devi veramente ascoltarlo!

Sadly, Angelina’s paternal grandfather died in March 2018 and her maternal grandfather died in November 2019. Angelina’s maternal grandmother Mery Zamani has had tremendous influence on Angelina and her career as she introduced Angelina to jazz at early age. From Republic Records bio, Angelina said “Today, I sing barefoot as a reminder of all the kids in the world who need help and support.” See Angelina's book "Mellom to hjerter" (Between Two Hearts) for background story of 6-year old Angelina meeting shoeless girl to whom Angelina gave her shoes.

I just love your reactions to Angelina Jordan! Fantastico! She’s special..and yes I agree..her face does shine like a diamond..for me she sings as much with her eyes and physique as she does with that beautiful voice ..I love how she plays with the timing here too..behind and then sometimes ahead of the beat..but always perfectly timing when it matters..I think it’s a jazz technique referred to as back phrasing..Ciao..

Gracias por tus reacciones a Angelina, muy didáctico todo Grazie per le tue reazioni ad Angelina, tutto è stato molto istruttivo.

Watched your review of Angelina singing Your Face and regarding her as a diamond while she sings that coincidentally is the theme of her released EP, enjoyed your synopsis

Angelina told in the video "Angelina Jordan10 years in the making" that she knew very early that the music she listened to were bigger than herself. And through all the videos I have seen from her, she has a great respect for the original music and artists. You should also watch the interview Alan papier had with Egil Clausen (the gutarist in this video). Ther they talk about these songs. Angelina shoud be 11 at this time I think.

Hello, Paolo! Thank you again for an incredible reaction to Angelina. I have been missing you to be honest. I really appreciate your inputs and thoughts here, which I haven't even been thinking about myself, after having watched the recording (as well of all of her other recordings) hundreds of times. I guess that it sometimes takes a "fresh" eye to see these things. These are things that help paint an even more complete picture of what we're hearing and seeing, further putting the "exceptional" stamp on it. And also thanks a lot for checking this one out, as it in my opinion is a prime example of her maturity as a singer and interpreter at that age. Her choices are exquisite😊 I wish you a wonderful weekend, my friend! Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

Your observations are quite astounding and insightful. The subtilty impact of Angelina's videos are often not described in such a n analytical way. We all feel the magic of her work, but for the most are unaware of the why of it, you have quite nicely explained part of her magic. Thanks for that quite insightful analysis. You need to appear on the Podcast of ; 'Wrapped in a Warm Blanket ' hosted by, Alan Papier and Pontus Osterlin. Here is a link to a painting artist that appeared on it. kzread.info/dash/bejne/rH5s2pJsYrbaiZs.html ,

I agree that the light on her face is an exceptional effect. I think, in this case, it is mostly random how effective it is. Still, it is interesting that in a number of her newer videos, light is often used almost as an angelic halo to highlight her face. The emotion in the video is as real and raw as attraction and infatuation/ love can get.

Angelina è semplicemente una fuoriclasse.Non sa nemmeno lei come fa,perché l'orecchio assoluto,la laringe e il suo cervello all'unisono concorrono per la bisogna.Ogni cento anni,il buon Dio sceglie una creatura,come ha fatto con Mozart e altri geni.O.K.?
