"THIS" is why I only listen to and watch Angelina reaction videos. She did this at 10 years old, she is 16 now, and has only got better in the past 6 years. Yes, there are other good singers out there, I'm 67 and I've heard a LOT of them, but there is only one Angelina Jordan, and she is more than just a good singer. She is more than just a great singer. She is an amazing artist, and has a grasp on EVERYTHING that is involved in every song she performs. No one, and I mean NO ONE has touched me emotionally in all my life, like this young lady does. She doesn't just sing a song, she draws you in to her world and makes you FEEL the song. If there are people that don't feel "IT", and I know there are, all I can say is I'm sorry for you.

Angelina Jordan is unbelievable, she's totally amazing... 👏 😯

Definitely singing directly to Amy.

Beautiful performance. She is the definition of Prodigy. Even if you didn't have the age right, it couldn't be anything except younger.

Hi Samantha! ✨Angelina just has an intrinsic ability to keep blowing your mind with every performance, doesn't she? It's insane to truly put together all the facts around her incredibly broad talent pool. So many people say "for her age" - and while, yes, it's astounding and utterly ridiculous for her age, the abundance of her talents (in all aspects) boggles the mind to have all that she is and does in one person for anyone, at any age. We are so lucky to be alive during her youth. I read once it's as if we were alive to watch Mozart grow up! And omg, can't wait for your reaction to Million Miles! All of Angelina's originals are incredible - but that one is soooo deep and emotionally cathartic. I always love your reactions to AJ. Thank you, hun! Have a beautiful weekend! 😊

Yes she wrote the new lyrics in the day before the recording session but that is only part of the story. A local TV station was doing a news feature about Angelina earlier in the day of the recording session at a amusement park. Angelina screamed to the heavens while riding the roller coaster. Here is a link to that news feature. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZYyMqNeYhpuyk9Y.html

@@branscombeR Plenty of mystery with Angelina. Hopefully, in time, she will be willing to speak about her childhood.

I believe that two of the biggest influences. with regard to Angelina's jazz approach in her vocals, has to be Billie Holiday and Amy Winehouse. Both, at opposite ends of the jazz spectrum, redefined jazz singing in ways that were never heard before. 'Breathy' Billie and 'raw' Amy are just so much a part of Angelina's sound which is unique onto itself.

By age 10 AJ had reached an insane level of voice mastery. This is most likely before her voice began changing, something that she has Handled seemingly without issue. An extended video shows her tweaking the new lyrics in the car ride to the auditorium so she is reading them as she sings. This was the 2nd take since she was not happy with the 1st!

Second comment. This was an unusual session for Angie, who is known for recording in a single take. There is a cute video (on Mozarz?) of her listening to the playback of the first session, and her facial expressions are priceless. Like she was eating lemons. The little perfectionist did a second take which is phenomenal. Bye, again

Outstanding reaction and comments Samantha. This was great and appreciate your love for this beautiful young super talented brilliant human being. Very much enjoyed this reaction and thank you for encouraging your viewers to support Angelina. Cheers, have a great week, stay safe, stay healthy.

Angelina Jordan is one of a kind she can change your voice like a chameleon a call her girl with 1000 voices

Probably one of the best reactions of Angelina I have seen on u-tube. Very measured, very controlled, very heartfelt, very accurate, very loving and very much appreciated by me. Thumbs up lady, thank you for your time, see you on the next one.

Samantha, I really enjoy your Angelina's video reactions along with the other singers. The back story about the lyrics to "Back to Black", Angelina not only changes the lyrics she also changes her vision to "Back To Love" to record a more appropriate song for a 10 yr old to sing, per her mother's request. I agree with your observation.

Angelina’s parents didn’t want her to sing the original as there’s reference to suicide so Angelina completed the lyrics in the car on the way to the studio, absolutely amazing version of this she is a musical genius!

I don't think there's reference to suicide in Back to Black. There is a very strong reference to suicide in Gloomy Sunday, which she performed at Norway's Got Talent at age seven, so that hypothesis does not compute. There is however a lot of explicit sexual references in Back to Black and that's not something you want a child to sing in public. But I think she has added something very beautiful to the original.

she also did Valery at 10 but at Venice Beach (a suburb of LA) she was there to perform at a celebrity benefit concert she was escorted there by Gene Simmons(KISS). she also sang Rehab only revising the lyrics much more than Back to Black

My only qualification for having an opinion on Angelina's performances is not being tone-deaf. The experts can do the nuts-and-bolts analysis, and I'll enjoy that. What impresses me the most is how Angelina has always come across as an unpretentious girl that usually gives a shy little smile and a wave before the music starts - and then she enters an entirely separate musical world. The best part: She seems to be able to take the hand of the audience and bring them along for the journey. What a gift! Then, when the music stops, she quietly transforms back to being an unpretentious that usually gives a shy little smile and a wave...

Angelina always makes your day, no matter what age, no matter which song 😀

Sweet reaction... 2016 was a vintage year for Angelina: "Back to Black", "Feeling Good" and "I'm Still Holding Out For You". Then 2017 allowed us the Proysenfestavelen music festival in Norway, which produced 14 great songs; including "Cry me a River", Diamonds are Forever" and "When we Were Young". The jazz band backing her up is very strong.

J Childs Samantha, your reaction as to how such a young child can elicit so much emotion from you, as she does so many others, stems, I believe, from her ability to broadcast her emotions to her listeners. Simply put we feel what she's feeling as she sings in her "happy place."

Hi Sam, her mom told her, that the lyrics were NOT age appropriate for a ten yo. So, AJ had to rewrite the complete song in 24 hours (she still wrote on it on the way to the studio). She had to rewrite it in a way, that the musicians didn´t have to change a single note. Impressive. You and yours stay safe and sound, German Greetings.
