Chords for Vocal Coach Reacts to Angelina Jordan - I Put A Spell On You

What's up, Terabytes?
I'm Tara with Tara Simon Studios, and today I'm taking it way back in Angelina Jordan's career.
This is her singing,
I put a spell on you. _ _ _ _ _
There's a story as to why she sings barefoot. _
Get up.
It's very sweet, very meaningful. _
_ _ _ _ _
[C] She's so wittle here. _ _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ Who thinks [D] Angelina Jordan is like [Fm] a vocal prodigy?
Comment below.
[C] If you don't, tell me [Fm] why.
I don't know. _ _ _
[Gm] _ [Bbm] Because _ _ _
_ [F] you're mine.
[D] Okay, I'm just gonna stop right there for a second.
Okay, okay.
I'm pretty sure she's like nine here.
I have a seven year old.
Anybody else have like, you know, a kid under ten?
Can your kid do that?
Mine can't.
Just saying. _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ [Bbm] Stop what things do. _
[C] _ [Db] There's so much maturity.
Like there is an [Bb] old, soulful woman stuck in her [C] little body.
_ [Db] And the way her voice breaks up.
[C] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
I'm gonna just preface this facial expression freeze of mine with the fact that I actually have never listened to this until just now.
Like you're seeing my actual candid reaction.
I really didn't think it was gonna be this good.
I mean, I know Angelina Jordan's amazing, but I actually have not heard her sing this.
The vocal maturity, when she growled, when she was like,
and stuck her tongue out.
Like the instinct that she has in her voice to know to do that, to create [E] more space,
to make it sound more raw, more guttural, more gritty,
is not something that she probably even could articulate at that age as to why she was doing it.
And yet she just kind of did it.
Because she intrinsically knew, like, what to do.
I am a gobsmacked [Bbm] right now. _
_ [Fm] _ _ Even the timing of that, put a [C] spit in the mouth.
She bounces that L.
_ L.
_ [Fm] _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
[G] _ [Fm] _ _ [Db] And [Fm] right there, what she's doing,
_ she's using the back of her tongue as she's holding that mine
to create that difference in sound.
Listen right here, I'll show you where.
That's very advanced. _ _
[Bbm] _ _ _ [Fm] _ [C] That part, right there.
Back of the tongue lifting and lowering.
[Fm] _ _ _
_ [G] Not even a name for that.
It's just like [Bbm] a _ _ [Fm] tongue lift. _ _
_ [G] _ [F] Like that.
She's like, yeah, [Fm] that's great, that's right.
[Bbm] Like that.
That's the thing to do.
_ [Abm] _ Hey, what's up?
_ [C] I ain't lying.
[Db] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ [Fm] I love you.
I love you.
[C] I love you.
[Fm] I love you. Stop. _ _
_ _ [Bbm] _ [Eb] She is living and breathing out her purpose.
Like, this is a little girl who is designed by the Lord and knitted in her mother's womb to sing.
Like, someone walks, because that's what their legs are made for.
Like, her voice is made for singing.
The growls, the energy, the commitment to what she's saying,
her facial expressions in this, she's not overdoing it.
It's not because someone told her to do it.
It's because she's like taking on this identity within the song for herself
and is sonically carrying that through into the microphone of that studio.
This should be like studied in colleges,
as to how to portray a song with conviction [Gb] and vocal prowess.
Learn from a nine-year-old.
[Bbm] I don't care if you don't like [G] me.
I'm [Bbm] yours right now. _
[Fm] I'm gonna spell you.
Mmm. _
[C] _ _ _ _ Because [Fm] you're mine.
_ [Bbm] _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ [C] _ Wow.
[Fm] Angelina. _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ [Fm] She's got some big feet for a nine-year [D]-old.
I think her feet are bigger than mine.
_ I have [Db] midget feet, though. _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _
Look at that chin drop.
Listen to the robustness and the health of that vibrato.
If you don't want me.
_ Okay, I'm going to say this because it's literally the only
slight imperfection I've heard in this entire thing.
She was this much muddy on her little three-note run here.
If you don't want me.
Want me.
_ It could have been a little cleaner or clearer.
Let's listen to it one more time.
_ _ I'm missing that note again.
But who cares?
_ _ [Fm] No. _
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [Fm] _
_ [C] _ Oh, I love how she [Gm] sang through that W, too.
No.
Instead of no.
Because that's more style.
That fits more of what she's trying to accomplish right there.
No is a cleaner, more technical end.
But that's not the vibe here.
That's not what she's doing.
Wow.
So I'm curious.
Tell me which Angelina Jordan you like better.
Little nine-year-old Angelina or this Angelina next singing I Have Nothing.
