14yrs, First studio recording at Republic records. Covering Adeles All I Ask . Rob Christie first time in studio with AJ. He wanted to check out if the rumours were true about being a one take wonder. He sits at the piano, she sits in a pants suit shiny pale pink/apricot. End of first take AJ is finished , done and dusted . Rob is smiling and gobsmacked that rumour was true. Easy because its Angelina. Really enjoying your channel. I am a real Angie phob. Cheers from down under.

Check out her version released on February 14th 2022, 16 years old. Best version of My Funny Valentine I’ve ever heard. Sounds like it’s being sung by a 30 year old sultry woman in a piano bar, not a teenager in an antique furniture store lol!

This is cute and sweet, but her 16 yr old version may be the best you have ever heard sung;)

Sorry forgot the "Yo"

My Funny Valentine This is my 167th time listening to this MASTERPIECE and each time I experience a new level of perfection by our ethereal prodigy extraordinaire, Angelina Jordan. When you listen to the A cappella portions of this performance at the very end of the song you are truly experiencing the genius of Angelina Jordan’s PERFECT PITCH. Sinatra, rest in peace Angelina Jordan, the Bare Foot Queen has taken the crown and there is nothing like her in the universe. When I first heard her perform this. I put it 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 76 years of experiencing great vocalist and I can't wait for the rest of the story. We are not only hearing it, but we are also feeling each word as though she were singing to each of us individually. She is the only one in this universe that is capable of making us feel the true emotion of this ballad. There is no way to explain this gift that has been given to the universe, does she even know, or understand the power she encompasses? © Larry D. Pifer

I love Angelina Jordan’s voice and Billie Holiday and everything to her. He hit it out on the Billie Holiday optic one optic singer, but she followed in her footsteps with Billie Holiday idol and Bella and Angelina Jordan Billie Holiday also love Louis Armstrong and Frank Sinatra great jazz

This has been one of my all-time favorite songs since it came out in my youth. I have listened to all the legendary versions from the past & love most of them. This version at 9 & her year later version at 10 are amazing for a child, but her latest version from 2 years ago at barely 16, is the most beautiful version I have ever heard, by anyone, male or female, EVER! The only way it could be any better is if we could see her singing it rather than just walking around in an antique shop. Can't wait until you get to age 16 for it!

She stays true to the course of what she wants to deliver in spite of everything. She is not just singing. More like styling, laced with passion. Your reactions are great! Love the Led Zeppelin bonus.

Angelina Jordan possesses an extraordinary talent that captivates listeners with her mesmerizing voice. Her vocal abilities are truly remarkable, showcasing a depth and maturity beyond her years. With each performance, she effortlessly conveys raw emotion and connects with her audience on a profound level. Angelina's unique interpretation of songs, combined with her impeccable control and range, sets her apart as a true musical prodigy. Her talent deserves widespread recognition and appreciation, as she continues to inspire and leave a lasting impact on all who have the privilege of hearing her sing.

👣Another amazing moment from Angelina`s first years in the limelight. I love this performance, it blew my mind as it was released to YT, even though we already knew from her "put-a-spell-on-you" performance what her skills stood up to, at 9 yo. Even though, as you said, the pianist (as good as he is) did get a bit busy at times. When Angelina released her next version some 6 months later, for the 2016 valentines day, she sat down in her "home studio" and made a version using a backing track. A bit more predictable set up for her I guess, even though I am convinced she prefer live music for her performances. Then she can just say; - "Follow Me" to the musicians, and trust them to do just that. Not quite what she expearienced during this summer-live performance of 2015, I guess. Anyway, as you are at her 9 years old 2015, I recomand highly not to miss out on her James Brown cover of that year. She performed "I Feel Good", live in consert. To me it`s certainly in the same league as both this performance, and "the Spell" performance. 🤩 Surely another one from her MUST SEE list👣 🤗

You'll find a version of her singing this at 16 on Boris Palenovski's channel. There really is no comparison between the two. Here I think she was working against a cold.

Thanks for an enjoyable reaction. Angelina sang this song many times, getting better with age, with her most recent version in 2022 being my all time favorite by any artist. Very interesting with the similarity with "Stairway to Heaven". Michael, did you know Jimmy Page was most likely inspired to write "Stairway to Heaven" after being the opening act on tour, for the band Spirit in 1970. The guitarist for Spirit, Randy California was performing an instrumental song "Taurus" and the guitar part of that song is the same as the beginning of "Stairway to Heaven". Randy is my favorite guitarist.

As Commenter, andyschnell58, below, identifies, her 2022 sing is an epitome of performance art, often paired with her notable 'child seated at home' sing when much younger for contrast and appreciation. Recommended though the '2022' is disappointing only in that we only see her muse in an antique shop rather than perform.

Nice reaction, Michael. Angelina sang this again at I believe sixteen and sang it the way she wanted to at this age. Absolutely beautifully.

Actually the one sitting at home on Valentine's day at like 9-10 years old is phenomenal, this one out of all of them is just OK. She looked very very uncomfortable singing to this arrangement, which to me is all over the place, more than I have ever seen. Very few views .

Yo! Loved the Zeppelin reference.

One thing that gets me about this particular performance is how she goes soft again after the loudest part, on the drawn-out word "stay". She does it a little more smoothly the second time, near the end of the song. After the full belt at the beginning of the word, she lets her voice break and then goes smoothly from an almost belted "ay" into the softer sustained vibrato ending of the word. I have found this surprisingly difficult to replicate (singing along with her). My voice usually breaks in the softer part. I think it's because I'm somehow not taking proper advantage of the intentional break before the shift to the final note and the reduction in volume. Whatever it is, I have a really hard time singing it the same way she does. (Granted, I am "not a singer", but I've had *a lot* of practice singing along with her…😊 [Yo.])

❤❤❤

You are right she was 9.

I recommend a Spanish singer, her name is Diana Navarro. She is a very versatile singer who sings different musical styles with a very particular voice and incredible melismas, she always transmits when she sings. The song is "El perdón" official video clip. Best regards

😀😀😀😀😀

She does not merely sing the words, she lives them Angelina Jordan is not just a singer; she is a storyteller. She does not merely sing the words, she lives them. She transforms herself into the song, embodying its emotions and meanings. She connects with her audience on a deep level, reaching into their hearts and souls with her voice. She has a rare gift of finding the most vulnerable and touching part of each song and delivering it with sincerity and passion. She is a musical artist who makes you feel the song like no one else can. ©

Yo! So, can we just talk about how amazing it is that she is able to sing one of the most difficult (and most covered) songs out there with an improv jazz ensemble. Many complain about the pianist being this or that...it's jazz man, sometimes it's next level, sometimes not, but this was "a happening" regardless. Also, when your friend the jazz 🎺 player comes on, recommend you check out her performance of "Cry Me A River " There are two, one at 12 with a huge big band that is amazing, but not my favorite even if they blow it out of the water. My favorite version was her at 11 at a music festival. The whole concert was next level, and her vocals were extraordinary. The band, and specifically the horn section...amazing! kzread.info/dash/bejne/jKZoq7CJaNzOcpM.htmlsi=TOwA0BhX8pnfaR4t

In the newer one, she explore the melody in a way Stan Getz would on his saxophone. Her voice seems a bit fatigued in this one and the pianist is throwing notes out instead of accompanying her, but Angelina’s young artistry is still remarkable.

YO! Even though this is very good by a nine year old, no doubt about that, it is still my least favourite of her performances of the song😊 Her version from exactly 2 years ago is my absolute favourite of them, and on third place overall, taking all of very performances ever into account.

If you want a more "adventurous" selection, you could try rehearsal footage of her "jamming" with some of the same musicans seen in "I Put a Spell on You" on another Screamin' Jay Hanwkins song, "Portrait of a Man", which Angelina rewrote slightly as "Portrait of a Child". kzread.info/dash/bejne/amSaldZslNCoks4.html The sound is raw and completely "unbalanced", making some of what she sings hard to hear - and the cinematography might make you feel a bit queasy - but it's fun to see her working out how she wants to do the song "on the fly".

How would I do a song with Angelina? I’m down!! ❤️

Angelina Jordan cut her bones singing two songs by Billie Holiday, having cut her performance and competition bones at the age of 7 through singing two of her songs on Norway's Got Talent, thus showing the World just how much she likes the music of Billie Holiday. We've even seen her picking up the album. So we gather that you are now going to see this incredibly sweet young woman, who has done nothing but good, and tell her face-to-face that Billie Holiday was a "junkie"? And then, "maybe Angelina picked that up in her voice"? Plus other derogatory remarks. Please consider the following. Angelina Jordan gave away her talent show prize. Are you now going to follow her example, and give away all of the money that you continue to make from the music-loving public through those monetised Billie Holiday reactions? I might add that I am one of those members of the public from whom you have greatly profited. How did Roger Waters put it? Oh yes, "The bravery of being out of range."
