Welcome back. Angelina has been busy this past year. She put of a 6 song EP or original music, a christmas EP, performed in Portsmouth New Hampshire and just lately performed at the Nobel Peace Prize where she did Unchained Melody, that is something you need to react too, if unbelievable.

^^^^^The Cinemaphotography, a total MASTERPIECE, Excellent ART Cole McCarthy and Chip McCarthy. Angelina at 16 is the MASTER of her universe, she is top priority for both Stargate, and Republic Records. AJ's voice has been unique since she was 7 years old and now at 16, she controls us as an audience, leaving us hang on every word and phrase. AJ adopts the performance to pay homage to the original hit but then makes it her own and so much better than the original. Credits: Director: Cole McCarthy Executive Producer: Mery Zamani Art Director: Chip McCarthy Piano & Arrangements: Rob Christie Gaffer: Kevin Rios Coordinator: Michael Astar Location: Los Angeles, CA ℗All Rights Reserved - Angelina Jordan Inc There are no ends to the unique signature voice of Angelina Jordan, and her ability to feed our need for the finest STORYTELLING ARTIST that has ever lived in this period of time. At 76 I thought I had experienced the greatest, but nothing compares to AJ.

I don't see many people here pointing out that you reacted to Angelina's first cover of this same song back in 2019 (that's when AJ posted her cover, not when you reacted to it), singing in the same key as Whitney's original studio version (higher than here). You loved it at least as much as this one, and gave it the same score. So, you _did_ actually already know that someone other than Whitney could sing this song and you would like it, and that Angelina could hit the highest notes (and higher). You just didn't remember.🙂 I suspect there's going to be a lot you don't remember about how good she is. Even people who only go a couple of weeks between AJ reactions will say things like, "I always forget how good she sounds!" BTW, personally I prefer her live rendition of this song that she did on _Allsang på Grensen_ shortly before this music video was released (her first live appearance after "the lockdown"). It was posted to both the show's YT channel and Angelina's Official channel. She sang it twice for some reason (people say various things, but no one knows for sure why), and cell phone footage shot from the audience reveals that both takes were equally good in terms of her performance. In fact, they were so similar that when I checked the two takes from the cell phone video against what aired on the show (and was posted to her Official channel), at first I thought maybe they had used a mix of the two, because the first take syncs up so closely for so much of the song. But then I checked the second take, and it synced up perfectly throughout the entire song, so it's obvious that they only used the second take for the broadcast.

Great honest reaction ! I appreciate your kind of thoughts about Whitney and Angelina and the comparison, which is only natural. You have to realize that Angelina pays homage to Whitney Houston every time she sings because this is one of her most favorite singers and most influential in her life since she was a baby. In fact, there's a recording of Angelina at one and a half years old singing a Whitney Houston song, so that should tell it all. I think one of the more important things to remember. Angelina made the song her own in her own tone and her own key which is a little bit different than the original but Angelina did great justice to this wonderful song and it's one of her finest performances. I feel even though it was in a studio. I think Angelina's live version when she was in Norway. The same year in 2022 was just as fabulous and even better because it was live. I think importantly we should realize Angela is on the way up. She was only 16 years old at the time of this recording and you must remember Whitney was 29 years old. Whenever she recorded that song age difference means a little bit but in Angelina's case. she was always an old soul with a mature voice. I really liked how you approached your honest reaction and summation of the whole song. It is so much appreciated to have you back in the KZread community. I wish you nothing but success this year and even more so with the birth of your twins coming on. Have yourself a fabulous year my friend. Keep posting as always.

Whitney Houston is an artist I have listened to a lot, especially during the beginning of her career in the 80s. I have many of her records, but this particular song has never been one of my favorites. I haven't disliked it but it hasn't really meant anything to me at all. I wasn't too impressed with Angelina's first attempt with this song either, but for some reason this version became an instant favorite of mine. I can't explain why but I feel every word and get emotional in a way I've never experienced with any other version of this song by any artist. There's just something about Angelina's voice and way of singing that often suits me perfectly.
@williambryant28515 ай бұрын
As for as this rendition of this song, it is perfect for Angelina. If Angelina sang this song originally without anyone else ever doing it, it would be considered a masterpiece the same way it is considered now when Whitney did it. At this point in Angelina's young career at only 18 years old, she is on the level of all the ladies that you named. Because she is the absolute vocal virtuoso that she is, she's going to go higher, and further than many of the rest. As she has, and is developing, she will be the most rounded, and the most versatile of any singer in the last century. And as genres go, they say that it is hard to be great at everything, but Angelina will be the closest one to being able to do so. Because of your no nonsense and strictly being truthful with your opinion, I love your reactions. I know I don't need to say this, but keep it up girl.

Great to have you back! Thank you for choosing to begin with Angelina Jordan. I appreciate your wanting to be your genuine and authentic self in every reaction - I truly appreciate that. However, as an educator, I find your “grades/scores” give the appearance of an objective measurement. In reality, you are measuring, imho, your own “subjective” feelings/opinions”. I find that to take away from your genuineness. Yet, I think it gives the excitement, maybe, of a game show, at the expense of brave 16 year old singers. Subjective evaluations do not convert to objective numbering. Your considered comments are alone truly representative of your level of appreciation of the artist’s performance.

I saw AJ first do this and she worked hard to do it justice, but she did do it. Just now she worked less and I heard no negatives what so ever, magnificent!
Welcome back. Angelina has been busy this past year. She put of a 6 song EP or original music, a christmas EP, performed in Portsmouth New Hampshire and just lately performed at the Nobel Peace Prize where she did Unchained Melody, that is something you need to react too, if unbelievable.
Total talent......end of story. Whitney will always be one of a kind. And guess what? So will Angelina......she pretty much is already. Thanks for the reaction of this classic by AJ. Keep em comin'. Steve in Texas.....and Yes I have been an AJ angel for at least 6 yrs.....I lose track. The time just flies by.....doesn't it?

Angelina Jordan is phenomenal and I am in love with her voice/style. You need to check out her rendition of "I'm Still Holding Out for You." It is mindblowing. Enjoy your reactions. Keep 'em coming!

This was recorded the same day after she sang Elvis," "Suspicious Minds!" Rob Christie, head of Studio Productions for Republic, accompanied Angelina on the piano on that cover. Two amazing covers in the same day. Angelina is the greatest female vocalist to ever live. There has never been another with her combination of talents. Our Princess of a thousand voices, the Queen of Jazz. She is a gift to us all.
It's extraordinary how Angelina is such a seasoned pro in every way possible.
Thanks a lot for the reaction to our angel Angelina..she’s simply the best..👏👍
When you compare any of her covers to originals, I always think Angelina is a good 20yrs younger than most every artist she coveres and still blowes you away! Her voice puts more emotion into the songs. She is at such an early age, is right up there with them!
Welcome back. We will not crucify you for a 9.8 rating. However, don't forget this is a 16-year-old taking on one of the best of all time in her prime of life. Peace and Love.

Welcome back! Thanks for the reaction. I think there are at least a couple of covers and a bunch of originals worth your time. "Suspicious Minds" (Elvis cover) and "Unchained Melody" (Righteous Brothers cover) at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony are both good and her entire EP Old Enough doesn't have a bad track on it.
Cieszę się że Pani wróciła. Jest wiele piosenek do zrecenzowania. Angelina ma wiele nowych nagrań kowerów, ale i własnych piosenek, które nagrała pod Pani nieobecność. Pozdrawiam z Polski.
Holy shit, just listened to the live version with Whitney.. This is just as good, but with the Angelina touch .
So happy I found you again. Love your expressions.
There is something in the tone of Angelinas voice that makes this more pleasent to listen to than any other version I have heard. A very subjective view.. LOL 😊 Nice to see you back..😊😊
Good to have you back
Great to see you back here, Maunalee. I would love to see your reaction to Angelina's "Suspicious Minds" from a couple years ago. And, for you to explore a "new" and truly unique performer - Ren. Start with "Hi Ren", i assure you that you've never heard or seen anything like it. Go into it cold, don't research him until afterwards.
Welcome back! We missed you. I find Angelina's key (3 semi-tones lower) to be warmer and more relatable, but is definitely a matter of personal preference. We all love her 🤩👣🔥🧡🙌❣️
The dress is Ice Blue and she's 16yo here... She was 18yo on 10th Jan. 4 days ago. and amazingly still growing into her Adult Voice.!!
I have watched dozens if not hundreds of reactors and you are still the only one that I watch regardless of who you are reacting to. You have introduced me to some artists who I would not otherwise have found.
^^^^^The Cinemaphotography, a total MASTERPIECE, Excellent ART Cole McCarthy and Chip McCarthy. Angelina at 16 is the MASTER of her universe, she is top priority for both Stargate, and Republic Records. AJ's voice has been unique since she was 7 years old and now at 16, she controls us as an audience, leaving us hang on every word and phrase. AJ adopts the performance to pay homage to the original hit but then makes it her own and so much better than the original. Credits: Director: Cole McCarthy Executive Producer: Mery Zamani Art Director: Chip McCarthy Piano & Arrangements: Rob Christie Gaffer: Kevin Rios Coordinator: Michael Astar Location: Los Angeles, CA ℗All Rights Reserved - Angelina Jordan Inc There are no ends to the unique signature voice of Angelina Jordan, and her ability to feed our need for the finest STORYTELLING ARTIST that has ever lived in this period of time. At 76 I thought I had experienced the greatest, but nothing compares to AJ.
Your back Maunalee, I didn't recognize you without your bangs until I saw your tattoos! Miss you and your reaction looking forward to your show. Maunalee you have a lot of catching up with Angeline's current EP, however, before you listen to her new EP "Old Enough." Please react to Her vision of Elvis," "Suspicious Minds" relating to Priscilla Presley's emotional relationship with Elvis during his coming back in the '60s.
Welcome back Maunalee and thanks for the wonderful reaction! Please also look at his latest version of Unchained Melody which she sang last December at the Peace Noble Price ceremony in Oslo, it's a fantastic interpretation of incredible taste and has a full orchestra to accompany her.💛🧡❤

@musicwithmaunalee Yeah her latest rendition of Unchained Melody at Oslo is truly magical- angelic even. She shows us even greater range and confidence and emotional investment- how’s that possible?

@@musicwithmaunalee Nice yo see you again, have been looking for you :-). Please, before reacting to AJs " unchained malody", read about who got the Nobel peace prize and why. And also about the song. Then you also understand why Angelina performed like no one else. And because you (?) and A have family from Iran this might be a special performance for you..
She did it LIVE in Norway, for TV , and due to a potential (non) sound recording issue, they had her sing it again, a minute later... i saw her live in New Hampshire do it at end of a 2 hr cincert. NOW, I HAVE YET TO SEE WHITNEY DO NEAR THIS WELL, IN a one-take, original pace performance, like this... no long(rest) pauses... Whitney never did !!
Great Reaction Welcome back ! missed your reactions !!
Welcome back, lovely to see you again. Angelina has done so much since we last saw you. So a lot to catch up on. 😊
❤👍👏👏 - very nice having you «back on track»!
I don't see many people here pointing out that you reacted to Angelina's first cover of this same song back in 2019 (that's when AJ posted her cover, not when you reacted to it), singing in the same key as Whitney's original studio version (higher than here). You loved it at least as much as this one, and gave it the same score. So, you _did_ actually already know that someone other than Whitney could sing this song and you would like it, and that Angelina could hit the highest notes (and higher). You just didn't remember.🙂 I suspect there's going to be a lot you don't remember about how good she is. Even people who only go a couple of weeks between AJ reactions will say things like, "I always forget how good she sounds!" BTW, personally I prefer her live rendition of this song that she did on _Allsang på Grensen_ shortly before this music video was released (her first live appearance after "the lockdown"). It was posted to both the show's YT channel and Angelina's Official channel. She sang it twice for some reason (people say various things, but no one knows for sure why), and cell phone footage shot from the audience reveals that both takes were equally good in terms of her performance. In fact, they were so similar that when I checked the two takes from the cell phone video against what aired on the show (and was posted to her Official channel), at first I thought maybe they had used a mix of the two, because the first take syncs up so closely for so much of the song. But then I checked the second take, and it synced up perfectly throughout the entire song, so it's obvious that they only used the second take for the broadcast.
Hi Happy to see you again 😊 You will have a mountain of work with all Angelina's videos or songs you missed! Two EP! Look to "Suspicious minds", crazy!
Great, thanks! I am rather tired of this song, but it was great to hear her do it again at 16/17 after doing it at 12/13... It really shows how she's grown. I mean come on! Whitney was 29 when she did this song. Angelina is a blessing to our ears.

100 % you are right.
Great honest reaction ! I appreciate your kind of thoughts about Whitney and Angelina and the comparison, which is only natural. You have to realize that Angelina pays homage to Whitney Houston every time she sings because this is one of her most favorite singers and most influential in her life since she was a baby. In fact, there's a recording of Angelina at one and a half years old singing a Whitney Houston song, so that should tell it all. I think one of the more important things to remember. Angelina made the song her own in her own tone and her own key which is a little bit different than the original but Angelina did great justice to this wonderful song and it's one of her finest performances. I feel even though it was in a studio. I think Angelina's live version when she was in Norway. The same year in 2022 was just as fabulous and even better because it was live. I think importantly we should realize Angela is on the way up. She was only 16 years old at the time of this recording and you must remember Whitney was 29 years old. Whenever she recorded that song age difference means a little bit but in Angelina's case. she was always an old soul with a mature voice. I really liked how you approached your honest reaction and summation of the whole song. It is so much appreciated to have you back in the KZread community. I wish you nothing but success this year and even more so with the birth of your twins coming on. Have yourself a fabulous year my friend. Keep posting as always. Sending you much thanks and love from Canada 👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️
Welcome back, and congrats on your growing Family. Angelina is simply amazing. There is a very young singer by the name of Emma Kok. She is 15, and she sang with Andre Rieu singing “Voila”. She killed it, and Andre is bring her for his summer tour. You will love it. Best wishes
Whitney Houston is an artist I have listened to a lot, especially during the beginning of her career in the 80s. I have many of her records, but this particular song has never been one of my favorites. I haven't disliked it but it hasn't really meant anything to me at all. I wasn't too impressed with Angelina's first attempt with this song either, but for some reason this version became an instant favorite of mine. I can't explain why but I feel every word and get emotional in a way I've never experienced with any other version of this song by any artist. There's just something about Angelina's voice and way of singing that often suits me perfectly.
As for as this rendition of this song, it is perfect for Angelina. If Angelina sang this song originally without anyone else ever doing it, it would be considered a masterpiece the same way it is considered now when Whitney did it. At this point in Angelina's young career at only 18 years old, she is on the level of all the ladies that you named. Because she is the absolute vocal virtuoso that she is, she's going to go higher, and further than many of the rest. As she has, and is developing, she will be the most rounded, and the most versatile of any singer in the last century. And as genres go, they say that it is hard to be great at everything, but Angelina will be the closest one to being able to do so. Because of your no nonsense and strictly being truthful with your opinion, I love your reactions. I know I don't need to say this, but keep it up girl.
Welcome back Maunalee. Been a while. I have always loved your reactions and your brutal honesty is to be admired. I didn't always agree with you but I always appreciated and respected your honest reactions, Regardless. That just adds validity to your thoughts on what you do like. Looking forward to seeing more from you. Great reaction 🔥🔥🔥♥👣
What a tribute to WH !!!
Good to see you back, always enjoyed your reactions!!!
So glad to see you reacting to Angelina again, I always loved your reactions before. Congratulations on the twins
So good to see you again! ... and amazing news
Congrats on your double bubbles! Good to see you again!
Missed you ❤️ Angelinas EP is awesome ❤️ Her own songs and i love them ❤️ Good in Goodbyes and Diamond are my favorites and they help me heal ❤️ Wish you an amazing day 👍
🌟
Welcome back ,we missed you , loved your reaction, I hope you review her EP Old Enough, it has 5 original songs
Glad you're back missed you
Glad to see you back, you look fantastic and you don't even need any makeup! Bless you!
So great to see your pretty brown eyes here again. I appreciate your comeback being with Angelina. I remember watching you reacting to her back around Thanksgiving in 2019. Yes, you’ve missed a couple of AJ’s videos. Her latest was on 12/12/23 at the Nobel Peace Prize singing Unchained Melody. There are about 125 others you have yet to watch. You had twin on top of you first daughter and son? Congratulations! Sorry you were sick, been there, done that too. All the best from Alaska
RE Plants....sprinkle ground cinnamon on the dirt surface, Was told this by another and so far been great. Good luck and welcome back. Be well. Cheers!
Iam a die hard Angelina fan and iam glad to see you back.
As a hard core Angelina fan, I think your score was fair. AJ was 16 here. I wonder what she will sound like at 30. I think her range is still growing. Glad you are back. And congratulations on your twins.
Welcome back! Angelina is always respectful to the original artist! But you have a lot of Angelina's originals to go through with her releases in 2023! It won't be long before other singers try to do covers of Angelina!
Welcome back Maunalee. We've missed you a lot. You definitely have a lot of catching up to do with Angelina. She released a new EP last year called "Old Enough". the songs on it are Love don't let me go Now I'm a fool Fire and Rain All My fault Good in Goodbyes Diamond She also performed a magnificent rendition of "Unchained Melody" at the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize ceremony accompanied by the Kork orchestra from Norway. It was an absolutely stellar performance. I look forward to you catching up with some of these great songs.
Great to have you back Maunalee, missed you. I agree with Claudio Marcucci that Angelina's performance at the Nobel Peace Prize Tribute is a must. And, I agree with other commentators that digging into the story of Narges Mohammadi and the backstory of "Unchained Melody" is absolutely necessary to understanding the sublime artistry that AJ displays. Welcome back, I try to never miss your reactions and I don't hate you when we disagree.
Well, you're really back, for better or for worse :D Love seeing you back reacting to AJ. You have been missed :)
WELCOME 🎉BACK....LOVED YOUR CHANNEL
Great Reaction I missed you 👍🙏👣
Double trouble ahead! Congratulations. Please do not worry about make up, you hardly need it anyway. It's the reactions we want.
Good to see you on a video I have missed you.
Glad to see you back! First one to say that! Hang in there with the twins.

Welcome back!!! She did this as she always does; in her own style. Check out the Easy on Me cover!!! It’s SO AWESOME!! As good or better than the original!!!!!🙏❤️ PS stay healthy for those twins!
Welcome back and congratulations on your twin bundles of joy that’s on the way❤
Congratulations on your new additions! Welcome back, I have missed you!
WELCOME BACK MAUNALEE!!! I MISSED YOU.
Welcome back...sorry to hear about your suffering, but you will survive! The distinguishing characteristic in Angelina's rendition is the lower range that matches her range, and...most importantly, her performance has elements of jazz and blues. I am very partial to jazz...and blues.
Welcome back Ms M much love❤❤❤
Great to have you back! Thank you for choosing to begin with Angelina Jordan. I appreciate your wanting to be your genuine and authentic self in every reaction - I truly appreciate that. However, as an educator, I find your “grades/scores” give the appearance of an objective measurement. In reality, you are measuring, imho, your own “subjective” feelings/opinions”. I find that to take away from your genuineness. Yet, I think it gives the excitement, maybe, of a game show, at the expense of brave 16 year old singers. Subjective evaluations do not convert to objective numbering. Your considered comments are alone truly representative of your level of appreciation of the artist’s performance.
You are gonna L O V E what Angelina has become. 💛🫶💛 It sounds like you’re on a whole new journey (in more ways than one) and so many of us are going to enjoy coming along for the ride. Your examples of what earns a TEN are spot-on. The Cranberries?… NO kidding! ❤️ I have a feeling that you may be surprised at one or two Adele songs that are *surpassed* by Angelina Jordan! 😳 C’mon… buckle up. Let’s get going! [Welcome back Maunalee 🫶🖤👣]
Angelina just turned 18 last Wednesday 😂 Welcome back ❤
Wow ! I have missed your Reactions to Angelina so Much, OMG you have have so much Amazing Material from Angelina to catch up on, i cant wait for more, you Really should React next, to her cover of: Suspicious Minds By Elvis, its a Masterpiece, it was recorded within a couple weeks of this Witney cover, glad your back, Missed you 😊
WOW you are back! Awesome!
Angelina is such a gifted artist. She sang this song very well, probably better than most that have done this cover. Angelina did it justice as you said. 9.8 is a great rating plus it came with goosebumps and that is as genuine as it gets. Can't wait to hear more. There is a country artist named Drake Mulligan that I would love for you to listen to in the future.
Lovely to have you back, you were one of the first reactors with Angelina that I followed, boy you have missed so many gems. I would jump straight to the latest one " Unchained Melody " live for the Nobel Peace Prize, it truly is beyond a 10/10 , one of the best live performances ever ( the 50 piece orchestra do add a little :) ) Look forward to more soon and huge congratulations.
Maunalee, good to see you again! We continue to honor our girl who just turned 18 years old. I won't criticize the 9.8, after all today is a day of celebration: Maunalee is back!!
Welcome back.We missed you!Despite being an absolute Angelina fan,I will accept minor critiques once in a while but not too often!
16. Welcome back. We really missed you.
Wow, talk about a blast from the past, welcome back Maunalee and congrats on the twins!
Welcome back dear you have a lot to catch up on Angelina Jordan who celebrated her 18th birthday 5 days ago yes no longer the little girl you knew,enjoy 🦶🦶👑🗣🎙🎷 You will feel alive again 😉 Only health... By the way she did that song in 13 years old in the first time 😂
Beautiful reaction, apart from Unchained Melody, personal opinion, absolutely unmissable is the EP with 6 wonderful originals, thanks Maunalee, good life and music from Italy..Massimo🤩
Welcome back. Excellent 👍.
Hola guapa,te echabamos de menos🤗,Angelina a crecido mucho y tiene un futuro brillante...,mira a Gabriel Henrique,es otra voz fuera de lo normal...🤗
Nice to see you back! Good reaction. Yes, you used to give points. You reacted to her sing this song at 13 and had a few comments about pacing. And you got down on her singing MJ's "I'll Be There" at a benefit when she was sick. You gave it a 4--ouch! (Ah, yes, I remember it well). The angels roared...lol. I like what you do. I'm looking forward to more AJ reactions. There are many to do. Good luck with the plants!
Wow ! The first artist you react to with your return is Angelina ? You just earned a sub for that ! Welcome back and i look forward to yelling at you for anything less than a 10 ..... kidding ! Go Angelina !
… Phänomenal! ✨💎✨ Thank you
Don’t forget Aurora and Diana Ankudinova who has been flourishing in a tour, guest w hans Zimmer orchestra, soundtracks for recent movie Baikal and so much more. Welcome back.
Hello what a lovely surprise to turn laptop on and see you, love your honesty on reactions, Angelina was asking where you were lol
I think its interesting to see AJ redoing songs she has coverd in the past that not all reactors has given a topscore. The newest example is unchained melody. A bit rear given she is not afraid to show us her flaws
I don't usually believe in coincidences but I ran across another reactor I hadn't heard from in a long time.them I thought about you .I pulled up your playlist and didn't see anything less than a year old. Now the next day I see your back. Cool ! In catching up with Angelina you will find a number of 10 s..
And I'm so glad you released this video. I absolutely love Angelina. And you too. Get back into it. I'm not just saying this, I've watched a lot of you. You do understand music, and how to critique it. I have others I follow sometimes, but I did miss you.
Missed you Maunalee, I really liked what you said about respecting the original song version... even though Angelina can really mess around with a song...she still gives due honor and respect . That was a great great point and compliment for our wee Angie. 'If' you haven't seen Angelina reinterpret California Dreaming by the Mamas and Papas you must! This was for me the song where Angelina's- true-genius- for interpretation smacked me right in the face. Nasa was kicking around the idea of using 'spider' plants for air purification... apparently they're the best for it.
🥰
Welcome back. Check out her EP, Old Enough. 6 songs she wrote with contributions from others. Republic did a great job with the production. My favorite is Diamond. A very different Angelina.
