It doesn't matter whether you've seen this once or twice or 500 times. The impact is the same. Disbelief! For me, after listening to a couple of other songs, this one hooked me for life. It was inconceivable how a 9-year-old could perform like this. Thank you for the support you provide to Angelina with the links in your description. Please be aware that most viewers do not know how to support you or Angelina. Please encourage them to use yours and the artist links, to like comment and subscribe to both of your channels. That way it is a win-win and you both benefit. Peace.
You missed her signature scream when you paused in the middle of it. Always sad when that happens but I do understand it when they hear that growl the shock hits and they are fumbling all over the keys. Angelina is a Jazz singer & she learned from the the best Jazz singers of Jazz & music history. Angelina immersed herself in RUclips video's of these Icons starting at 3-4 yrs old guided by her Iranian Grandmother Mery Zamani an artist and child prodigy in her own right. Her first Idol was Billie Holliday who she started with on her journey to the stage at Norway's Got Talent. She opened with 'Gloomy Sunday' which she inhabited and absolutely infused Billie into the song. The similarities are incredible. She followed with another Billie classic singing 'I'm a Fool to Want You' acapella pitch perfect and infused with the same Billie Holiday essence. I've heard this performance backed by the original music and it's like Billie Holiday was like Billie was singing through a child voice. A beautiful child voice. You want to know where she learned it. She learned it from the greatest in history going back to the 30s & 40s. This one she learned from J Hawkins himself. I have no doubt she had it on repeat on RUclips. And nobody forced Angelina to practice, they wanted her to sing children's songs. She would have none of that! Angelina has always been the driving force in her development. Begging to be on that "Simon show" by the age of 3 and insisting on getting on Norway's Got Talent at 5 & having to wait till she was 7. I love this performance so much. As they say AJ don't play. Well perhaps this is what she does when she does play and we get the most stunning, amazing performance of a 9 yr old of this Jazz standard ever created. I believe it is going to go down in Jazz & Music history as the best ever for this age and in my opinion the best rendition of this song ever created Screamin Jay included. It will be revisited for Generations and will remain relevant for Generations to come. Any one discovers this performance for the first time today or a 100 years from today are going to be as amazed and astounded as everybody has been to this point. Think of the children who will be inspired by this one performance in the decades to come. This is an Iconic performance and will alway be Iconic. Angelina has on her own from early on at 6 or 7 yrs old reintroduced what I believe will be a whole new Jazz Era and redefined by this young phenom and prodigy. That is astounding! And she is just 16 years old... That is unfathomable!... Oh Lord... what is coming the world is not prepared for but we as fans have been on the edge of our seats and will remain there as we wait. No hurry. We want Angelina to do it her way when she is ready. She has already established her proficiency and incredible work ethic in this endeavor guided by an incredible family and professional support now surrounding her. We know Angelina will continue to amaze! We will be here to experience and cherish it for as long as we live.... and I am praying for many more years for myself to enjoy it till the end of my days... Not to be morbid but when I'm lying in my deathbed I hope to go out of this world listening to the most beautiful voice ever created for man just as Angelina came into it to fulfill her purpose, what she was put on earth to do, sing for the whole World... and Me! To me Angelina is always singing to me transporting me to that beautiful place she inhabits when she sings and to experience it with her. She has the ability to touch hearts and souls and change lives. She has the ability to change lives on a personal level and the power to change lives on a global scale. To me no one compares. You just watched a Masterpiece! Destined to go down in Music History as the best performance by a 9 yr old, Period! Past, present & dare I say Future! I'd like to see anyone, young or old who can do a cover of this & with the justice it deserves as Angelina has done on every cover she does. ♥👣👸🏻
Angelina was 9 years and 2 months old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, who wrote and performed the song in 1956. She based her arrangement on his original performance, although she discarded all the theatrics and allowed her voice and body language to tell the story. The song has been covered by many singers over the years, but to my knowledge, Angelina is the only one who has sung in the same style as the original. Things I found particularly worthy of note in this video are (a) Angelina finishing writing last minute changes she wanted and handing them to the Music Director, who smiled. (b) A brief glimpse of Mery Zamani, Angelina's maternal grandmother, a well known and respected Iranian Artist and poet who was also a child prodigy. She was the person who recognised Angelina's talent at an early age and exposed her to all the old time jazz singers. (c) The candle with an image of Screamin' Jay Hawkins on it. (d) The smile on the face of the Bass player. (e) How she rose on to her toes on the last occasion she sang "...because you're mine" (f) The fact she occasionally refers to her written notes on the music stand (g) The instant transformation from "performance" mode to that of a pensive child, possibly wondering whether she could have done better. I comment on the "pensive" child because Angelina has an incredible work ethic and seeks to perform every song in a way she considers will bring out all the emotions within the lyrics and melody. Angelina has been referred to as the "Queen of Jazz", "The Barefoot Princess", "The girl with a thousand voices". All of them are true, but I prefer the nickname I gave her after listening to about six of her performances. For me, she is "The Chameleon of Song", for as a chameleon is able to change its colour to match its surroundings, so Angelina is able to change the "colour" of her voice to accurately match the needs of the song to reveal the emotions within the lyrics and melody. Even more remarkable is her innate ability to communicate those same emotions to her listeners.
I enjoy your reactions a lot, but why "reactors" feel the need to pause and talk so often is beyond me. Your second pause was right in the middle of her scream that most times gets a gasp from reactors.
@@CindysReactions I was going to say the same thing, Don't be so quick to pause. I'll tell you something you may not realize, fans of reactions are mainly interested your facial expressions as you enjoy the performance, not so much in what you have to say. So appreciate the artist, smile, be expressive, say less. Your channel will do better, I can guarantee it. Some of the best channels rely almost entirely on facial expressions and say very little. Especially this one, which leaves most people speechless. Good luck!.
Great reaction to an Epic performance, God Bless!

I call her Angie I love it when you react to her song she’s just phenomenal and I love her

Thanks for your reaction have you forgotten you did this 10 months ago, no complaints though I never get tired of this amazing performance.
Oh yes😁😁 I didn’t feel it this much. It’s incredible
One of her very best
🤯
She's channeling Screaming Jay Hwakins. The candle in the beginning. That's not her, that's Jay singing thru her. Look at his video, you will see it.
I'm an old fart that still prefers the CCR version. Fogarty did his best guitar work on this song.
ILike your reaction but miss a link to the Original video. You have the title "Original video 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽", but emty.
Oh no! Sorry I forgot 🙈😁

I’m so sorry about that. I don’t usually do that🙈🙆🏼♀️
