Reaction to Angelina Jordan and Toby Gad - BAD VALENTINE

This is my reaction to Angelina Jordan and Toby Gad's collab of Bad Valentine!
So deep, soulful, melancholic. You can feel this in your bones. Angelina has such an incredible gift and this arrangement honoured that for sure. Delicious!

You don't get to see her in this performance, but she is always pure magic, her voice the crowning glory. I get totally lost in the soulfulness of that beautiful lower register of hers. 80+ years on this earth and I've never seen/heard anyone close to matching her talent or casting such a spell over her audience as she does with that glorious voice.

I agree 100% with all of your comments thru the performance. There's something about Angelina's voice that touches my soul like no one else. This young lady is amazing. 🥰

This new era of Angelina Jordan original music, I am seated and want to hear more already

[philgaringer]

Toby Gad is a grammy award winning writer. He has written and produced songs for John Legend, Beyonce, Fergie, Demi Lovato, and many more. This is an original song that Angelina wrote with Toby. They have been collaborating on a number of remakes of his famous songs as well as a lot of new originals. This team is a match made in heaven.

This performance is not only her most recent one, but I think it's her best, so far.

[patricklester]

It is almost unfathomable how much she may grow in another 10 years. I feel her greatest talent, her gift, is how much she understands how to express so much emotion without getting off track. She has so much love and support behind her, but there is also huge drive in her to expand and excel.

[RobertDeMartin]

She wrote the song. She has admitted it was inspired by an actual relationship in her life. Yes, our little sweetheart has grown into a beautiful young woman and more than ever we need to always remind her our love for her will never diminish and we will always be there if she ever calls.
Sabina, you raised the point of asking us what is different, what is so alluring about her other than the things you mentioned. We've always believed when she sang we felt she was very genuine and very believable. I've always agreed with and, in particular stating it was always the love in the message of the song that she has been able to convey to us. Now, as she is getting older hearing the soulfulness and love in her voice will even heighten because those feelings she conveys to us will be more personal (as it was in this song). In regards to being alluring, it is very evident Angelina will always carry herself with elegance on and off the stage and be admired for her consistency. She inspires people, young and old, to be the best they can be as kind, caring and loving human beings and what's remarkable, as she grows more and more beautiful as time moves on, her inspiration will be greater and greater and we are talking about a global affect she will have on humanity.

[GrandmaEllen]

Yes. Feeling it in my bones, also. She did write this with Toby Gad and one other person.

Wonderful reaction Sabina, thank you. Angelina literally shocked me, I have always loved her voice, but I am more and more in awe of her unstoppable musical evolution, I would never have expected that at her age she had already reached such a stratospheric level of vocal perfection. This is truly a beautiful original piece perfectly arranged for her voices (so many!), both in the early blues versions and in this later fantastic jazz version, what she creates in this slow, melancholic and regretful version is indescribable and absolutely astonishing, even for the apparent ease with which she does it. In reality the instrumental accompaniment is little more than a pleasant musical undercurrent, her voice alone is enough to reproduce the emotional effect of a full orchestra. She is a truly eclectic and extraordinary artist, I understand well why Toby Gad is enraptured by her talent, being able to collaborate with a singer like her leaves a boundless space for the musical imagination, you probably can't even imagine what vocal wonders she can create. Her creativity is simply enchanting and astonishing. 💛🧡❤

I didn't know her at all but it's true that it's a very beautiful song and a very beautiful voice. I felt a lot of depth in her voice. Here's someone else who has a life story to tell... ☺
My first reaction was to compare her to Amy Winehouse just like you, but it's true that we can also feel Adele's style.
She's an artist that I'm going to have the pleasure of listening to in the future. Thanks for sharing... 🥰❤

[geoffreynorth]

Yes, she wrote the song.. with Toby's help - I like your point about "believability" and I agree, everything she sings she is incredibly believable. What do I appreciate most ? The beauty of her rich voice; her unmatched ability to convey emotion; her charm, charisma and presence; her wonderful personality.... I could go on :)

Thank you for the reaction my dear. Its been a while !
Angelina is 18 now and just lit up a sold out show in L.A.
It is now an insult to compare her to anyone. She has made her "bones" at this point. Angelina has surpassed her peers and if anything, they should now be compared to Angelina. You look great and I hope you are well. 👍🏻❤️👻🎃

Angelina Jordan’s original compositions are deeply rooted in her personal experiences. In my opinion, she stands as the preeminent contemporary singer-songwriter.

[navrozelalkaka]

you reacted wonderfully to this musical miracle

[ronraskind]

Thanks for your great reaction! Toby Gad has written Grammy award-winning songs for such artists as Beyoncé, John Legend, Kelly Clarkson, Fergie, Demi Lovato, and many others. He is also the pianist. He has taken Angelina under his wing and this is their first original song released together. There are others in the works. No question that this song is created to display all of the best of Angelina's capabilities. This is the second of two versions and is considered the jazz version of the song. The original a few weeks prior is more of a pop version and was performed in concert in California about a month ago. The video at the concert to watch is by James Thiel. Toby co-wrote the song, but Angelina exudes grit and passion that is written on her face, and expressed in her vocals. It is she who brings this masterpiece to life! There is no question that this is an opportunity that Angelina has long anticipated, and is mutually beneficial. This song will surely launch her career to the next level! Peace.

[johnfreeman]

For me, this is the best version by far

[cliffBC]

Love your observations - this performance is peerless.

Always nice to see you come back to Angelina Sabina..been a long long time....she has so much great music out in last several months...live concerts in LA and California as well. Her and Toby are writing and creating new music together. Great collaboration with the multiple Emmy winning Toby. He chose the right artist to hook up with for sure...couple years now.
