Well said Gary!

I went back and looked at 6 or so other artists (original Cy Grant, Nina Simone, Buble, Bonamassa, George Michael, Lauryn Hill) who covered this, thinking someone else had done something like the awesome run at the end that Angelina does. Nope! As usual, she comes up with a really musically compelling arrangement, and now just owns this song🙂

You betcha! 10 yrs young and this little lady is singing us all how this song should be done! She is 1 of a kind.🌎🌍☮️❤

Agree with that Brian!

She's a phenomenon.

I've been following her career for a few years now, and she is phenomenal. My favorites are when she is with guitarist ivan singing a million years ago, stay, and california dreamin. I believe all are around age 12. She completely blew me away with i'm still holding out for you, which was a demo that was not supposed to be released. She did the demo for babyface, who ended up releasing the song because her mom was concerned about the dark content. She also does a Whitney Houston cover that shows her versatility. I also really love her originals. A million miles, which she wrote about her grandfather and 7th heaven. I enjoy watching your reactions and you going down the rabbit hole of the phenomenal angelina.

Big voice given the size of the orchestra..which is so impressive beautifully balanced...wow at 10...who does that....a true original talent.....awesome...just awesome.

Hi Nick 👋. An absolutely wonderful reaction to 10 Angelina. There's a video of Angelina finding her way of singing this song. It's a behind the scenes kind of thing at 10 on her writing things out and then trying them. It worth a reaction. She also sang it again at a outdoor concert but with her small stage band and gave it a different feel but still amazing. Worth reacting to also. Remember that Angelina never sings a song the same way twice even her originals. So they'll all be 1st time reactions. God bless you Nick and your family 🙏 ✝️❤ 🙂👍 (PS Nick, will you please react to Laura Bretan's cover of "Adagio". She’s not well known outside her circle cause of her genre's but her voice and character are amazing ❤). Thank you.

Nick, as always, what a great commentary and insight for this performance. We know well how outstanding Angelina was as many of us have seen it countless times. The poise and confidence, the control and emotion, and that finish which was Not from this world! But with that said, kudos also go to the reactor who spends a few minutes researching the song, it's meaning, and the original artist. You also provided some great information on vocal technique and your knowledge of Angelina leading the band rather than vice versa. Instead of saying Angelina did a great cover song, I would take that a step further as others have, and say that Angelina uncovers a song, or that she is the song. Thanks again Nick for supporting the artist and directing viewers to her channel to subscribe. Just a bit of important information here. The benefit to the artist is achieved the same way as it is for your channel. Both of you benefit equally if you encourage the same actions for both artist and reactor. That is, watch all videos to the end, like, comment, share, and subscribe. The artist receives maximum benefit when viewers like and comment on the original video the same as your reaction video. That way everybody wins. Keep in mind that the artist also has Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok channels where subscriptions are highly desirable. Now, since Angelina is about to be promoted big time and has released her new single, it is important that reactors and viewers purchase and stream her original music on Spotify, iTunes, and Amazon music. Lots of simple actions and reminders help all young artists, and ideally, they should apply to any of those that you react to, however comfortably you can fit that in to your protocol. Thanks Nick and peace out.

Nick, thanks for this wonderful reaction to this amazing performance by Angelina. Her very personal reading of this classic, which she has developed on her own, is sensational not only for a 10-year-old girl, but for an adult as well, there is not only her understanding of the musical texture of the song, but also the ability to change it in a very unique way. I'm adding a link to one of his piano rehearsal sessions in a backstage of this song, 2 years before this show (at only 8 years).

Thank you so much Claudio. She is a beacon of hope

Nice job, Nick. One thing I pick up on this video is how she tracks the mobile camera while it is passing in front of her. Here's a room full of people but she tracks the camera. Mark of a pro (in the making). Between Norway's Got Talent and America's Got Talent, Angelina did a ton of YT covers. I think her covers of Adele songs are especially worth watching (e.g. "A million years ago" sung to a single acoustic guitar). Her cover of "I will Always Love You" (the Whitney classic) is amazing as it stretched her into a whole different style. I start her current period with her signing with Republic Records as they changed the production quality of her videos dramatically. (take a look at "Easy On Me", for example) but the frequency went way down as she entered middle school and through high school (which she is about to finish). Of her own songs--Shield, A Million Miles Away, Seventh Heaven, Love Don't Let Me Go--they have done pretty well but one can see her song writing improving over time (of course). There's a lot of territory to cover with her. Right now, the question on my mind is whether she will go to college or not--and how that decision will shape her future.

Another unbelievable one to hear is her (leaked) version of "IM STILL HOLDING OUT FOR YOU"

If you want to dive into the history and discography of a piece, it can usually be found by searching on its title in Wikipedia. A ten minute excursion is often enough to find whatever it is you're looking for. You can even do that in no time by taking a break in your video and starting up again once you got what you needed. The arrangement by Hal Moody Wikipedia mentions that Nina Simone sung to may have been the same arrangement used here by Angelina. ... And, yes. Another mesmerizing performance by Angelina. ... Have a good one. Enjoyed it.

Wonderful suggestion about the deep dives!

I really appreciate that you wonder aloud what AJ was thinking about when she arranged and sang her songs ages 7-12. I wonder about that too. Can’t wait for a memoir that explains her younger years and development. I think she wrote and performed her first original when she was 11, and that’s when she revealed her profound poetry about *What is Life.* We know Gloomy Sunday was about a “sad” Sunday and we know I put a spell on you was about “desperate love” Whew this girl is more than a musical prodigy.

Old soul sums it up.

Wow, she’s out of this world! ❤️

Thank you for another reaction to Angelina. In my opinion, she is the best singer in the world, and there are thousands of others who would agree with me. Every moment you spend featuring her on your channel will being you great emotional satisfaction. There are so many things I get from this performance. Some I recognised immediately and those I missed were brought to my attention by the more observant Angelina fans (her Angels) and I thank them for letting me know what I had missed. (1) The realisation that at the age of 10 Angelina has shed all childishness from her voice. (2) A feeling that the placement of the spotlight at the beginning of her performance was deliberate. If it was, then, to my mind, it was a brilliant move. (3) The fact that Angelina arranged this song and that the band kept out of the way and let her voice be the focus. (4) The incredible low note she sang for the word "good" at the beginning and end of the performance. (5) That wonderful crescendo at the end. (6) The was Angelina used her left arm and hand throughout the performance (7) The way she changed the microphone from her right hand to left hand, so that she could flip her hair back with her right hand. (8) The cheeky smile she gave to the cameraman when she realised he had focused on her at about 5.39 in your reaction video. (9) The sideways look and grin she gives to her instrumentalists just after she curtsies to the audience -- as if to say, "Yeah, we killed it, guys! Now let's go get some ice cream!" (10) The almost instantaneous switch from "performance" mode to that of a young child who,curseyed and gave a sweet smile to the audience as an acknowledgement of their applause. Others have commented that the performance by Nina Simone should be considered the "gold" standard for this song. Until recently, I had never watched her performance, but have now done so. They just cannot be compared, for Angelina's arrangement is totally different

In the future there will probably be courses analyzing Angelina and her artistry. All of her songs at 10 years old would make a chapter on their own, but this leads the way.

Her talent has always been there, it's just been waiting for her body to catch up.

Pure talent sent from Heaven, at her age this is so unparagoned. Thanks Nick for introducing her to me

I’m so glad you’re enjoying Nathan!

I think her runs are instrumental, she hits the notes treating her voice as an instrument because she had minimal vocal training mainly focused on protecting her voice and breath control. Her main musical training was instrumental. She studied piano, flute violin and guitar. The slight yodel at the end of her notes is not something I can remember in another of her songs. That is why listening to her whole back catalogue is a good idea.

Angelina started to perform Feeling Good in public about a year earlier than here, in December 2015. Unfortunately she had a cold back then with some influence on her voice, but it was nonetheless an outstanding performance, at 9 years old already: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dm2oq49_c9bSgto.html The playlist this is embedded in contains in total 10 occurences of her doing Feeling Good, incl. some rehearsals and a short TikTok snippet from last year January. Her version here reminds me of Michael Bublé's one, despite of her more impressive ending: kzread.info/dash/bejne/d5ir1chmaKmZo6w.html&pp=iAQB8AUB

Thanks for another great reaction to & appreciation of another great performance by Angelina - at age 10. Unbelievable poise & stage presence - she seems to be leading the orchestra. In regards to this song, you made a reference to Avicii. After his passing, Angelina did an incredible acoustic cover of his mega-hit "Wake Me Up" - & dedicated it to her "dear friend Avicii". Always look forward to your Angelina reactions. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.

still amazing

Hopefully when they create the documentary of Angelina's life, we will learn the back story of her relationship with Avicii. After NGT Angelina was well known and respected among Scandinavian musicians. I have heard rumors that she corroborated with Avicii on the arrangemnent for the Volvo ad campaign. There are pictures of them together on social media when she was younger than 10, and she posted a very touching tribute cover of Wake Me Up after his tragic death.

Back in 2014 I woted myself poor for Angelina. Couple of years ago, hardly no one reacted to her.

FYI, I believe this was a live television performance in Norway. Every time I see this I ask myself, how the hell did she do that??
