I Love hearing that! Thankyou for you sharing that❣‼❤

Truth be told...she technically won. However since the winner gets a recording contract with good ole Simon and her parents refused the contract, the next in line technically won the competition. Her parents stated years ago, that they wanted her to have as normal a childhood as possible so no contracts for now. They also experienced the aftermath of her victory in Norway so they are rightfully protecting their precious daughter. Plus she is doing absolutely gr8 singing and building an extensive fan base without any contracts to squeeze the juices out of her at this stage of her young life!

It's not just her amazing voice..it's her beauty, it's her personality, it's her sweetness, it's her humbleness. Angelina's totality is breathtaking ...

What I love about her, is her ability to convey the emotion. It makes you pay attention to the lyrics. Even when 8 or 9, she conveyed a deep emotional connection to each song. Her rendition of "A Million Years Ago" is mind boggling.

Put the gift of her emotive voice aside. She arranged & orchestrated that. She always has. You exude such pride while she sings. 😂So sweet. She’s a lovely young lady as well. They did comment & loved it.👍🏻 You do know why she performs barefoot, right? Continue to enjoy! 7/23/22

I don't think I will ever get tired of watching people react to Angelina Jordan, & I still get chills when I hear her sing this song, which is probably close to 100th times now!!! Thank you for your thoughtful & insightful reaction ❤️

Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤️💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤️💙 Whether you are a believer in reincarnation or not, I find it very intriguing that Lou Rawls, the American Jazz & blues singer legend, died, the same day Angelina is born 😊 Loved your reaction!!!

Her family kept her away from AGT Until she could perform without getting tied down by AGT . Also Brian May contacted her and praised her version .

Shivers up and down my spine every time I have listened to this version. I am sure Freddy is proud of Angelina and about her outfit as well!!!!

Queen’s band has published a Tweet to her performance. For them it was a wonderful rendition of the song. Angelina is a musical genius!

They did, and she has recorded it since.

This performance was the culmination of many years of learning ang growing with her enormous musical gift. A big part of her charm is that she is grounded by her family. She isn’t the typical teenybopper that likes to mimic. She is the creator of her music and delivery. And I feel, as I listen to her, that she is thoughtful, sincere, and focused. Thank you for your input. I love your emotional reactions to Angelina’s great talent.

Simon knew exactly what he was getting...the show had been trying to get Angelina for quite some time and finally agreed to allow her to participate without any contractual obligations to Simon's companies.

This song was my introduction to Angelina. My wife was watching AGT and I was in another room. She called to me and said I needed to listen to this young girl sing. So I did. And I did about a dozen more times that night. Every time she hit that high note I choked up a little. And I’m like, this is crazy. It was like a drug. That evening I went on KZread and started watching everything I could find. Great reaction Adam

Jeffrey, do yourself a huge favour, look up and listen to Angelina singing on Norway's talent show, which she WON, when she was ONLY SEVEN......you won't believe your ears!

Queen tweeted out their congratulations after the performance.

Angelina is a force to be reckoned with. Nothing can be compared to her and to her seemingly god given talent. And the voice and her humility are so precious and exquisite, value them while you can. Be ever present To Angelina’s incredible essence and musical being while you can. This is a once in a lifetime Experience.

Now that you watched this, next would be Goodbye Yellow Brick Road on AGT Champions

An iconic piece of music, exquisitely re-imagined by Angelina, which honours the original, but never fails to surprise. She's a master in her craft.

Thank you for your amazing reaction to our barefoot angel. You stated everything so perfectly. We all hope Republic allows her to stay true to herself for most of her music.

The depth of tone & feeling that she produces at that 'nothing really matters' phrase speaks to my soul every time...

Sounds like a 1940s jazz club!! YES!!! Timeless talent.

WOW!! Bonus day. Brilliant, beautiful reaction Adam, as we knew it would be. Queen did acknowledge her and the show did accomplish her goal. Let's face it...... you can not refuse to sign Simon's contract and expect to win as well. Refusing his contract and having Simon change the rules to let you on without a contract, is maybe the biggest tell of all. Really, she won in every way. I often wonder how often anyone has watched V- Unbeatable, the winners, again since the show? And if so, how often? I alone have watched and listened to Angie, easily hundreds of times since the show. I would think that the ratio of people that have revisited the both of them could realistically be 10,000 to 1 for Angie. What she did in this performance alone shows her genius and the priceless, loving, humble spirit that the world so desperately needs today. The expectations of her are enormous, even before her record deal. I think she will deal with them effortlessly and show the world how it is done. She is family, is a daughter, is music, is love and maybe most of all, is inspiration for so many.

Her artistic maturity, melodic expressiveness and interpretative power need to be recognized, appreciated and celebrated. We all grow on the wings of artists. Thank you for your reaction to her rendition of this legendary music. I really appreciate your emotional candor and the refinement of your analysis of this brilliant artist. Obrigado./Thank you.

After her performance, Simon said to her “I don’t think you know how good you are.” We know. Amazing reaction, Adam. We knew you’d be one of her biggest supporters!

Adam, You are spot on when you said Angelina makes us proud as if we are her parents. Angelina has a huge fan base of men in the senior years and being one myself I can say that she brings forth pride and our nurturing side. We can’t help ourselves because we recognize how special she is. Angelina is an extremely rare individual. We know we have one of God’s angels in our midst and we want to protect her from the dark side of the entertainment business. We recognize that her soul is pure and uncorrupted and we want to preserve that unique and special aspect of her personality.

some 8 months or so later i still get chills

Nice reaction! The rest of the video would have shown Heidi Klum thanking the other judges for finally stopping with their comments so she could press down on the Golden Buzzer and send Angelina straight to the Finals. She had another mind-blowing performance when she did Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John. What disappointed a lot of people was that she did not win the competition, she came in 5th! What a crime! Oh well, at least being on the show expanded her fan base and getting more people to watch and listen to her KZread videos. She has an original song called Shield that she wrote and composed which I think you would enjoy. Every time I hear her sing, I get goose bumps! Love this girl!

Listening to Angelina is always so emotionally charged for me. Her arrangements make me think about the words and her voice tells a story. Your reactions to her are so genuine and I can’t wait for the next one. Thank you for being u 💕

Adam, this song on AGT was my introduction to Angelina and ive been listening to her heartfelt performances since. That in turn has led me to many reactors, vocal coaches and new artists. I have a new appreciation for music and how special Angelina is😊. Thanks again for a beautiful reaction🍻👊

Lovely reaction, Heidi gave her the golden buzzer for this preformance, She did not win the finale. But she got the buzzer, and i think she was the winner for the judges.

Just her voice captivating the world not much else needed!! Liquid Gold

I should also say THANK YOU Adam for the honest reaction. One of the family!

You were so right to react to this performance after you had heard and reacted to many Angelina songs. It does give you another sense of who she really is as an artist and as a person and makes you appreciate this performance so much more. And I want to emphasize that you can see in this video how humble, honest and natural she is! No fuzz, no frills. Just her and a piano. That was enough to conquer the world. She got the golden buzzer from Heidi and went directly through to the finals. Now you MUST react to her performance of "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" another stunner! Queen did tweet about her performance and were very proud of her, as I'm sure dear Freddie must be wherever he is ♥

This always blows me away every time I hear her sing this. I can't believe anyone could hear this and not fall in love with her.😍

Actually, Queen did see it. And shortly after the performance they tweeted this: "WOW! What a great rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody. #angelina jordan". I'm sure they have heard many attempts to cover this iconic song, and they are probably rarely impressed. So coming from Brian, et. al., this is very high praise. This performance made her known to many people around the world, and the golden buzzer (came from Heidi, which you missed) was written and talked about all that week. Angelina was almost finished with her newest album (all originals) when the pandemic hit. She has not posted anything new this year. So my guess is that Republic (her record company) is helping her complete the album, and looking at ways to promote and market it. I have no clue when and how that will all come about. But she's with a very good company, and her future looks very bright. And concerning family, I think we all feel that we are a part of her family. She refers to us as her "Angels", and if that's how she wants to frame it, I'm perfectly fine with it---and proud to be an "Angel" in her behalf. Thanks Adam, for another great reaction to the fabulous Angelina. So glad you finally got to hear this one. 😊💕 P. S.: You missed the golden buzzer, so if you would like to see it, it's at the end of this version: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aZuFzsyxlcS0pbA.html

WOW, what a reaction! You're one of the best i've seen and heard with this song. Angelina is a genius. She captivates many of us with her ability to perform anywhere possible! Thank you, keep it up!

I'm glad you finally got to react to BR's version of Angelina and thanks for the amazing reaction, Adam. It's hard to react to an interpretation like this, you can only be impressed by the fact that Angelina at only 13 years old was able to face a challenge with such an iconic song as this and made her become her own song, with a fantastic reworking, a calm, powerful and terribly emotional interpretation and a great courage to take him to one of the most difficult audiences of the show. The best of Angelina ... is Angelina, 😆 🤗 She searched her way for her version of the song and chose the lyrics that fit. Simply, changing the times and the reading key, based on her ability to understand and elaborate the song which, for a girl of that age, is almost supernatural, she created HER Bohemia Rhapsody. She just loves singing and does it her way. ❤️ The 3 year old little girl in Norway had a dream, while watching the Talents on TV, to sing one day for Simon, I would say that after only 10 years she achieved it really well, she fascinated him ... and not just him! Isn't explainable how it is possible, that every time I, and many other fans, listen to this interpretation of her (I must have heard it at least a few hundred times), I am carried away by her voice and by the emotion that arouses me ...

Angelina got the golden buzzer from Heidi Klum....she performed 3 songs on AGT. The second performance, she did her own version of Elton John’s song “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” and her last performance was a trio, with two other artists, the song she sung was Someone You Love. Angelina was better than all the acts....the show is actually rigged. Angelina didn’t win cuz she didn’t sign a contract with AGT...so kudos to Angelina, she doesn’t need AGT. I believe her uncle has been a big supporter, helping her in the music industry, I think he has a huge roll of her singing with a label. Great reaction, looking forward to seeing more. Cheers

I'll probably never forget the moment this performance went on air. Living in Europe, I had to stay up 'till the middle of the night to see it "live" and no one had any idea what song she was going to sing .... and her opening a capella phrase had me totally stunned. What a brave move to chose this song, all I could think was _"This girl got guts"_ and I was totally frozen until the end of her song - probably just like that open mouth girl we see in the audience towards the end .... It was such a wonderful moment and I still get those goose bumps and _shivers down my spine_ as I did that first night.

That acapella opening was the first thing I have ever heard from her mouth and it was enough to make me her fan probably forever.

Angelina signed with Republic Records as a priority. Republic also has Taylor Swift and many other top acts. This is a far better deal for her. Great news.

Yes most of us feel like a parent or grand parent because we have witnessed her perform and grow, from her having missing teeth to the waving byes, the big hair, and her Angel face, im so proud of her achievements and her hard work, she is very special and I can say I will be following her music as long as I'm here, ok and in Heaven too...LOL. Thank you Adam for this reaction to Angelina, please continue there are many more you have not yet heard .

First of all, the legendary Queen are enthusiastic about Angelina's arrangement. Queen shared Angelina's performance on their official Twitter account. Second, as an Angelina fan since 2014, I knew the date of January 6th from her auditions on US television. I was shocked when I found the first video on KZread at 5 a.m. German time in the morning and read Bohemian Rhapsody in the title. I was so excited, my hands were shaking and after the first line I knew that ANGELINA had done it again. ✌️😎🇩🇪🇪🇺💯 *AJ* 💯

Super reaction and of course she got the golden buzzer from Heidi another note at the very end of the tv version Simon walks up to Angelina gives her hug and says I don’t think you know how good you are she smiles and Simon says REALLY

That was a great reaction Adam to Angelina & a nice little commentary, it was spot on. History was made, If anyone's brave enough to do this song, in her rendition of the song, they'll be compared to her, for it's her song now. Think of it she took a iconic classic rock opera & stripped it down & turned it into a jazzy/bluesy, soulful ballad at age 13. Please support her music, CD's, iTunes, etc.. So many (even Disney) producers have been trying to get her to sign with them. Her & her mom just tell them no, (she wants to finish school 1st). Her family is very protective of her, they even formed a production co. for her (Angelina Jordan inc.) so to try & keep the industry’s claws out of her. She's a rare talent that comes by once in a lifetime. Angie is music. She can do any genre & sound better than most originals & she's still very young too. She’s 14 as of 1-10-20. She made her outfit using the pattern of an artwork, from her grandmother. She makes several of her other outfits too for shows & concerts. Her uncle got a great lawyer & she just signed with Republic records as of end of Aug 2020 (she won’t show on site until her 1st album comes out). She’s their top priority right now. I hope you buy her CD when it comes out & react to it. A God given voice & talent. What amazing timbre, texture, liquid gold vibrato & amazing rare skill of tremolo & the pitch perfect skill as well as her Melisma’s are out of this world, also no sound comes out of her mouth unless she wants it too, control beyond most of the pro adult singers, etc She's very sweet, respectful, humble, giving, & a loving Christian in real life too. She selects, arranges & composes her songs while still being respectful to the original. She has written 3-4 songs plays 4+ instruments & is trying to learn a little Saxophone right now. Speaks 3-4 languages & sings in 4+ languages etc.. .English isn’t her 1st language, it’s her 3rd. She also gives a lot to charities & helps out children who really need it. Queen was blown away too.

You hit the nail on the head when you talked about Angelina as "family." We watched her grow from a tiny child with an amazing voice into the amazing artist you witnessed today. BTW, she already released this as a single in January. She has also been working on album as an independent artist that has been on temporary hold due to Covid-19. I don't know what's on it or how Republic Records plans to finish it, now that they have her under contract. Glad you finally had the opportunity to hear this out of this world performance. Very, very nice reaction Adam.

Her genius and talent and mature artistry does make me proud, makes us all proud. And yes, it is a parental feeling. When you watch it again, go to the absolute end. I enjoy your reactions to Angelina very much. It’s like two friends admiring a sunset; the experience is magnified by the shared emotions. Thank you for your unfettered, genuine response, my friend.

I have had many of the same feelings about Angelina I'm 76 and have never got hooked to someone and followed them to the extent I have Angelina and yes I felt like a parent as she moved to California and got started in her commercial carrier I'm secure Angelina has such family support that she will survive becoming a superstar. She is already a superstar in my books 1st as a human being and 2nd as a performer and 3rd as my secret adopted daughter.

I like this performance of hers the best of all. Thanks for your reaction.

So well done, Adam! So great to see that you understand us long-time fans of Angelina (I discovered her when she was 8 years old). We see our angel grow and we hope and tremble because we know that her way will lead her inevitably among the sharks. And we are happy that her family knows this and protects her. It moved me to tears how she apologizes to her family in her song "Shield" for being a burden to her family with "all that she is".

You know when she smashes that high note? It reminds me of a time when I desperately and recklessly over reved my car that was hopelessly stuck in snow. Her powerfull voice reaches a crescendo of frustration and resignation as if forced by circumstance to surrender to her fate.

I always love your reactions to her. It was meant to be a tour de force and it is a tour de force. She's so confident, so in command. Her little curtsey. So humble. She cries when Heidi presses the Golden Buzzer. I love the way Howie starts off annoyed and ends up beaming like a proud parent. And Alesha looks like she's going to cry. Even though the audience is coached, you could hear a pin drop even in the quietest parts. She said when she was young that she is never afraid when she sings. I've been listening to her Happier and loving it.

My god angelina what a fantastic singer could listen to her all day ☘️☘️☘️👍

To me, the best part of her performance is not the magnificent belting, or the confident acapella, or all the beautiful runs.. It was the 'I don't want die...' part. I know she was just singing a song, and she was only 13 at the time, an innocent kid at that, but it sounded so earnest, so honest, so real, and so convincing, as if she sings from her own truth. Amazing.

We have all been waiting for you to do this one! It was a good idea to cover some of her other works before coming to this one. I think by having a good background on Angelina you have a much deeper appreciation for this one. I think you got a little taste of what it was like for all of her fans that have been following her for years. When I watched this as it aired, it was such a special moment. In the months leading up to AGT all her fans were speculating on what song she might sing. There were lots of guesses, but I don't think anyone guessed Bohemian Rhapsody. I can even describe the goosebumps when she sang that first line. I can't imagine the pressure of having 2.5 minutes to show the whole world what she could do. She went up there and did it so well, with such grace and humility. She packed so much into that short performance. And she used just enough of each of her little flavorings to show that she had it, but without showing it off. I know that you are going to listen to this many times again (probably already have), and you will find that the more you hear it the more your appreciation grows for what she was able to do there. It's just a masterpiece IMO. You asked what we thought of it... I could literally write 10 pages on what I think of it ;)

Rusty. A totally excellent comment and so accurate

She has a angelic voice.and she is fantastic.she has a great voice.

Normally i can withstand starting crying on this song but your reaction... no...again. All i can say: The notes are thankful when touched by Angelinas voice and this performance is already written into the book of music forever.

It’s just amazing and wonder-full

I think Angelina will change the world of music 🎶. There's no one like her. I saw this video for the first time Sat. and I'm addicted. I've looked up her video's when she won America's got Talent in Norway. I am mesmerized by her, that's all I've been listening to since I first found her, not that she was lost 😁 She is my favorite singer of all time.❤️

For the firs time in my life I have watch a singer grow from the start in Norway got Talent in 2014 with also turn me into a fan for the first time and to the present day and I so looking forward into the future of this wonderful amazing artist. Thank for for all your wonderful reaction Adam Straughan. Smile.

She didn't win; some circus act did, but she accomplished her mission. First, she wanted to impress Simon and she certainly did that! He knew he couldn't sign her , but she sure as shit blew him away. Plus, her popularity and exposure went from about half a billion admirers to more than double that in one performance. And what a performance it was! All three of her performances on the show were spectacular.

Mike, I really thought Angelina outclassed this show. I hate to be spiteful but for me I have abandoned watching AGT because they have degenerated into what I call "gimp of the season". IE. someone in the list of contestants has to have some heart wrenching story to go along with their talent. While I know people have things that they overcome in life early AGT didn't depend on such gimmicks!

@@rwlewko I can recommend "The Voice" as alternative. Only singers and you'll see many more talents and much less emphasise on the back story. I've found more impressing vids on youtube from the Voice than from the AGT franchise.

@MIssy Jones Well of course they knew who she was. They didn't even need her to introduce herself. And I'm not sure her exemption from the contract rule isn't special. for The Champions. They know some of the contestants from previous years - like Jackie Evancho - already have contracts. But Angelina has always made sure to retain control of her music and I'm sure Republic acquiesced to that .

@@BlackWolfSpirit Actually the acrobatic team from India was amazing, but there are other acrobatic groups that will rise to match their act. I can't think of another singer/song writer that I would compare to Angelina. There have been young singers like Brenda Lee. Bob Dylan wrote and sang at a young age, but he didn't make an impression until he was in his late teens - older than Angelina is now. Neither of these singers nor any others of the time covered the scope of music that Angelina has mastered. I compare Angelina's gift to that of Mozart. Angelina's sense of jazz, pop music, her ability to rework classic arrangements into something uniquely hers, her amazing new compositions, her vocal range and her rich, deep, soulful voice she adapts to so many different styles shows genius!!! Absolute genius!!!

Thank you Adam! I came to your channel when you first reacted to Angelina and so glad that you have gotten to enjoy the journey Angelina sends us on! I also love that Dimash is on your reaction list as well...both Angelina and Dimash are 2 of my most favorites to listen to. BTW waiting for you and your father’s reaction to Dimash’ Ogni Pietra! Cheers and love your reactions!

Have you listened to her original song, "Shield" yet? I love it. I can't wait for more originals. FYI after this aired she recorded this song as an original arrangement. She received raves from Queen. That's why this song was removed from AGTs youtube channel. This event changed her life forever. 🥰

In a recent interview, her uncle/manager said that AGT always wanted Angelina to perform on the show but were always turned down because she didn’t want any contractual arrangements that might bind her and restrict her artistic creativity. Finally AGT relented and gave Angelina what she wanted. They needed her for their ratings and she needed the exposure in America. Congratulations for getting to the 15k subscribers mark. Very well deserved. I have seen many reactors that post so many videos and always remind people to subscribe but their channels hardly grow. What I discovered about you other than the fact that you are very knowledgeable about music, is the fact that you always show respect to the artists and your viewers whether you like the performances or you don’t and agree with the comments or you don’t. Thank you and keep up the good work.

David, I've gone into a lot of detail about what happened and why she finished 6th. But, what I really wanted to share with you is the fact that Heidi actually gave it away when she told Angelina just before she began to sing, "Thank you for coming!" Huh? Thank you for coming? Sounds to me like she was a guest, not a contestant. Suffice to say the ridiculous voting set up actually made it easy for AGT to accept the judges decisions. And, I think we all agree that the Yellow Brick Road, although masterfully done by Angelina, was not a good song for the finals. However, it didn't matter because the final result was already decided on. AGT went as far as to put her against the top Filipino singer in the elimination stage. Otherwise, the audience might have rioted if she was eliminated by a gymnastics team!

Angelina 💯,(Adam💯 for your reaction 👍👌AGT?

J'ai commencé à la regarder à 23h et encore et encore : à 5h j'étais encore autant captivée ! Je crois qu'une voix pareille est immensément rare et elle a été donnée à une jeune fille qui sait tellement de choses déjà dans son coeur. C'est incroyable et magnifique. Merci Angelina, tu es merveilleuse.

The highest compliment one can give to Angelina and one that she would treasure in her soul, is not to say, as a reasonable, objective recognition, that she is a child prodigy or a musical genius. It is to say, rather, like you did, Adam, six times, first in your intro, at the 0:39 mark, as a subjective, intuitive observation, that she is "an incredible artist". For, it is one thing to be a singer, a vocalist, but it is another to be an artist. It is one thing to be an amazing artist, but it is quite another to be an incredible artist, in the strict meaning of the term, which is impossible to believe or beyond belief.

She actually gets the golden buzzer😊 it cuts off right before Heidi Klum speaks and hits it for her, but yea she definitely bloomed well altogether❤️🌟

Adam, you talked about "family" and it is so appropriate. I include you with Angelina in my family and when I saw this coming up I actually started to tear up because I knew what you were just about to listen to and experience. You did a great job holding back any tears although I could see you came very, very close. Adam, when you look at it alone let it all out. We have all gone through it and it is so, so beautiful. I am so happy for you. You are family and I have been waiting and waiting for you to completely come aboard and now, you have! In closing, you are right. There is still a lot for you to hear and I will enjoy your reactions to Angelina. She is truly a Messenger of Love.

Dani Atkinson is a singer who reacts to music videos and she auditioned to AGT and made it to the final 12 (to get to perform on the show). She has said a few times that there are agreements made behind the scenes but she (and anyone else who has tried out for AGT) are not allowed to discuss the details of those agreements. So we will never know what agreement was made between Angelina and AGT. Personally, I think Angelina truly wanted to perform on AGT for the exposure to help her mission to improve the quality of life for children. I did find it interesting that after getting the Golden Buzzer, all 4 judges went up on stage to congratulate Angelina. I have not watched AGT very often. Is that normal??

Been addicted to her voice since I heard her sing this!

Adam that was the correct reaction! I still can't make words after I hear her sing. I watched this live and thought It doesn't matter if she wins. A million people are thinking where can I buy a ticket for her concert! I was!

Thanks Adam, it was worth the wait! Great reaction - of course. I loved her arrangement and execution and am so glad Queen loved it too and gave her recognition for it. The Mamas & The Papas also gave her public recognition for her cover of "California Dreaming. Patiently waiting more more - thanks again!

Three girls at 5.23 says it all... hands on face, gaping jaw and hands on heart! They are in a trance!

she got the golden buzzer they cut it short on the video. She got under the top five which we're all angry about. With this young crowd and their high note only fascination in that type of style what do you expect. Plus most never heard of Queen. India Dance Group I think called V unbeatable Maybe got first place. Any way being hey talent show so it can vary if it was any other voices shows than might have been a different story

Congrats on finally making it to this very special performance by Angelina. This was the first I’d heard of her last January while watching the show with my wife and I can’t seem to let a day pass without listening to her.

Adam, hi , from the very beginning of your journey with Angelina I subscribed and eagerly looked forward to your reactions of her. You never once disappointed. I felt akin to a father also as I watched her from the start on Norway's got talent. To have the opportunity to witness such greatness is truly a rarity. Thanks for all reactions to this wonderful and talented human being.

Such a lovely comment and so true

I have been following Angelina for a long time but when this aired, I was so nervous and anxious for her. Even though I knew she would deliver. Still couldn't help the feeling.

to all Singers on this planet: the new Level is Angelina Jordan❤️

Did you notice the woman who was the first on her feet cheering and applauding at the end? That was Angelina's grandmother.

I just love the bear footed princess! She is a blessing from above, truly magical!!

full body goose bumps every time

It must have been like unwrapped a birthday present! Go Angelina!!!!

I can't make up my mind whether your decision to react to Angelina's Bohemian Rhapsody was timely or premature. It did give me an excuse to watch and listen to the performance again - as if I needed one. Yet I fear you will hold the opinion that this is Angelina's "ultimate" performance, although I did note your remark that you were not certain that it was your favourite one. On balance? Yes, I am delighted you reacted to this, especially for your facial expressions during the whole performance. You didn't really need to say anything afterwards :-) As you have got to the teenage Angelina, perhaps you would like to react to what I consider her most heart wrenchingly emotional performances. It is her version of Chris Isaac's "Wicked Game". All the singers I have heard perform this song treat it as a love song. Angelina is the only one who recognises it for what it is - a song of obsession, or if you will, obsessive love. Should you wish to react to it, the best version is a video produced by Sune Amtoft, which may be found at the following location: age 13 - "Wicked Game" - kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z311r6htdqfMp5c.html As a matter of interest, I have listened to three (I think) young singers perform Angelina's version of "Bohemian Rhapsody, since she released it under her label Angelina Jordan Inc.

I agree with everything you have said she is in our family and as you say we do feel protective because we've seen her grow up Brian and Rodger did get in touch with her and told what a great job she did which is brilliant for Angelina Freddie would be so proud of her I've watched it many times I've lost count I'm so glad you got there and it was worth the wait wasn't it Adam loved your reaction to Angelina 💖love from Denise in Yorkshire 💖👼🏻👼🏻👼🏻😘👋byeXX

I must have watched at least 50 reactions to this song and yours is my favourite by far. I cry everytime i listen to her sing it.

Jacqui Burne Thank you so much! That means a lot!

- and her version of "Yellow Brick Road" , is closer to the true meaning of the YBR expression in "The Wizzard of Oz", than it was in Elton John´s version

She does a brilliant rendition of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in her second performance on this show, you should have a look. I agree with you that after following Angelina's developing talent through from 7yrs old to now somehow gives you almost a parental pride in her success! She has such a deserved confidence and yes, fearlessness like no other at her age.

This song Angelina's way made me an addicted fan of hers. Love the song , love Angelina. Thanks for your reaction. I never get tired to listen.

Adam, very true. I feel very proud and protective of Angelina, like my own loved and admired daughter.

Adam, that was an excellent reaction to my favourite singer singing one of my favourite songs ever. Your face said so much too and your reactions are always thoughtful and worth hearing. This performance is the only one ever that gave me goosebumps when I first heard it.
