Peter Stradelmeir writes below that Angelina's mom, when asked why she was crying during this performance responded, "that was when I knew I had lost her to the world". In the 7 years that have elapsed since then the world has indeed begun to get a sense of this immensely talented young woman. Her journey has really only just begun. IMO she is destined to be one of the greatest artists the world has ever seen. In her original song "Shield", which she wrote at age 11 or 12, you get a real sense that she knows what a profound impact her voice, her talent and her career will have on her and on her family. She refers to her family as her shield, protecting her from strangers and others who will seek to exploit her as she attempts to fulfill her dream. She also writes "forgive me for all that I am". An incredibly complex and intimate phrase that most adults, let alone a child of 11 or 12, would be focusing on. It is an example of what makes this young woman so special. Her character, her humanity and her humbleness, combined with a once in a lifetime artistic talent, are a gift to each of us that have been and will continue to be blessed to watch and share her journey.
I live in Denmark just south of Norway - The day after this audition, the hostess in the Danish TV-news said, that something extraordinary had happened in Norway, and then they showed Angelina´s whole audition. One more thing - Angelina has later told, that the moment she walk onto this scene, she felt at home, that it was here she belonged.
As the lady said when she sent Angelina out on stage, "go and give them jazz". And did she ever... and has never stopped. She does so many styles and genres, but you can always hear the jazz roots. Here is a quote from Angelina when asked about this song in an interview done before this show aired.... "The reason I chose this song is completely random. I love jazz, but "Gloomy Sunday" was random. It was a night I could not sleep and my mother was stressed that I was awake long after midnight. Then I borrowed my mom's iPad where I wanted to listen to jazz on RUclips before I fell asleep. Then came a picture of a beautiful lady screaming at the sky and with her eyes closed... I'm talking about jazz queen Billie Holiday. I heard the song "Gloomy Sunday" that night and then I had to hear it every day. I love the melody. I understood well what the text was about because I know English well. Every time I sang it I felt something special about it, it's hard to explain in words. When I sang it for mom, she said that this song is nice, but that it was incredibly sad song". - Angelina Jordan
That's remarkable. Not only is she an incredible singer at this young age, but to speak something that sophisticated in a language that's not even her native tongue---I'm blown away again by this young, prodigious phenom. Thanx mucho! for sharing that, Rusty. I'd love to see that interview.
Thank you Rusty, you always give us great info about Angelina. By the way, do you know if she was 7 when she won NGT? IS not clear because it probably was recorded and released after her 8th birthday. Do you have that answer? Thank you in advance Rusty. Regards from Lima, Perú!
It is amazing to think how many times this show has been watched from its start in Norway 🇳🇴. It has gone around the world many times and you never get tired of it 😀
This is insane. Every time i listen to this i get the most outrageous goosebumps. this is not a child singing, this is the spirit of some Jaz singer using this little girl as an instrument to express her deepest emotions.
@@wippletits I agree Kent. I'm always amazed at how someone can superimpose something like that on a situation (very easy to do on YT), and how easy it is to buy into---with no verification. Like the John Legend backing track rumor with AJ's performance of "All of Me", which I willingly bought into and continued to spread. When something like that takes off, it quickly gains wings and can be seen by millions as "truth"; especially if they want it to be true. I appreciate your healthy skepticism, which helps keep us all tied to reality. 👍😊
That was a wonderful reaction, Valerie. This performance went viral over night on YT (over 5M views), and has over 25M views now. As one judge said, I think we have a star here. And the others felt the same. But for me, it's her next performance in the "judges cuts" that cemented that perception for the judges. All the singers are gathered on the stage (no audience) to perform for the judges. The judges give no feedback at this time, but they will decide from this who moves on to the semi-finals. Each contestant steps forward and does their thing, then returns to the line (looks like about 20/25 singers). Angelina then steps forward in her traditional white dress, barefooted, snaggletoothed, mounds of hair, and sings another Billie Holiday song, "I'm a Fool to Want You" ruclips.net/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/видео.html totally a cappella. And she just kills it. Then she smiles, does a half curtsie, says thanx, and returns to the line. Notice the young girl in red behind her place her hands over her face in amazement when Angelina returns to the line. Most of the singers probably suspected that they were now performing for second place. Angelina went on to win the show by a landslide, receiving almost half of all the votes. Her next two performances are equally amazing. "Bang, Bang" ruclips.net/video/3D0e0miMSI0/видео.html In the semis she covering the Nancy Sinatra version of this song written by Sonny Bono (1966) for his then wife Cher. "Summertime" ruclips.net/video/nsBfBuc9d9I/видео.html In the finals she performs this classic Gershwin song from the American Opera "Porgy and Bess". Thanks for your exceptional insight into this young, prodigious, phenom. I always learn something new from your analyses. Looking forward to your next reaction to Angelina. 😊💕
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 ❤️💙 Loved your reaction!!!
Even though I have seen this MANY times, I am still amazed that she had no idea how good she was. None at all. I have come to learn that Angelina doesn't think in terms of ranges of good or not good. For her, it is either right or it isn't. She has an truly astonishing ability to know precisely how a piece should sound, and she invariably makes it so. All the improvement we see with Angelina over the years is her experimenting with and developing her instrument, so she can get her performances right, in whatever genre she attempts.
Wonderful to watch your reaction to little toothless Angelina amazing performance. She really seems to reincarnate Billie Holiday! Looking forward to your next reaction to Angelina!
Here is a quote from Angelina from an interview with TV2 after her Audions NTG 2014. "The reason I chose this song is completely random. I love jazz, but" Gloomy Sunday "was random. It was a night I could not sleep and my mother was stressed that I was awake long after midnight. Then I borrowed my mom's iPad where I wanted to listen to jazz on RUclips before I fell asleep. Then came a picture of a beautiful lady screaming at the sky and with her eyes closed. I heard the song "Glommy Sunday" that night and then I had to hear it every day. I love the melody. I understood well what the text was about because I know English well. Every time I sang it I felt something special about it, it's hard to explain in words. When I sang it for mom, she said that this song is nice, but that it was incredibly sad song. ". 😷✌️😷💯 *AJ* 💯
First Valerie let me say thank you for your wonderful reaction to Angelina. I truly look forward to your comments and opinions. I am enamored with Angelina. Actually I love her. I adore her. I have been a huge fan for over 3 years. I knew almost from the very first note I heard her sing that I was incurably addicted. Until her AGT performances it really felt like Angelina was this astonishing little secret miracle shared by a select few whose souls were deeply touched. Now, the world knows of her and I admit to the tiniest jealousy at the thought of sharing her but still I am deeply happy for her. She is far, far more than just a gifted songstress of seemingly unlimited talent. She is the epitome of character, grace, beauty, compassion, humility, charity and joy. Not a single day passes without my listening to several of her songs. When she sings nothing else exists for me. Her voice and countenance envelop me in serenity, tranquility and awe. My soul is at peace and I know God Himself smiles with delight at this wonder with which He has graced our lives. There is something elusive and beguiling about Angelina that leads me to believe I will never fully comprehend what she has done for me but I'm going to spend my twilight years trying. I pray God bless and keep her all the days of her life.
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ I'm really pleased that you reacted to Angelina's performance of Gloomy Sunday from NGT. I also like the fact that you played the entire video, so that we got to see your reaction to Angelina before her audition, and to the judges and their remarks after her audition. I'm sure you know by now that Angelina has signed on with Republic Records (the same label as Amy Winehouse, Taylor Swift, and Ariana Grande), and that she is their "highest priority new artist."
Agree with you 100 percent. But may I say that it makes me uncomfortable when I see the quote at the end. I've seen it used many times since the announcement and it always makes me think "and so the pressure starts". Just me I guess.
I hear you. But, I would assume that they wanted that as part of the contract, and if they did I would assume that Angelina is comfortable with it. Of course, from a fan's perspective, I don't think of Angelina as having any pressure on her at all. She's already proven absolutely everything there is to prove as an artist. I would never measure her value as an artist by sales numbers or chart results or awards, for example.
The first of the judges, he who told her that she is an old soul is Omer Bhatti. He grew up mostly on Neverland, and was like a son to MJ himself, and he is still like family to the Jacksons. He is also a known Norwegian dancer who is influenced by MJ, and it really shows.
Any way we slice it, at least to me, it is simply astonishing how close to the original Billie Holiday recording Angelina was here. (Billie) ruclips.net/video/KUCyjDOlnPU/видео.html. To this day, no singer in my 78 years has ever touched me like Angelina does every time. Thanks for another very informative reaction to Angelina.
Why do I still cry when I see this? I know what is coming, but still cant hold back my tears. Angelina is such a diamond, I love this video showing where it all started. Thank you for this wonderful reaction, Valerie 👍
Most kids this age can barely sit on the toilet. Interpreting? What? Style? Inflections? Phrasing? Telling the story? What? For Billy Holiday fans, this brings back huge emotions. From a little kid. What? Internalizing? Nobody learns this stuff!!! This is a blessing for all the people who get the opportunity to hear her creations.
Thank you, Valerie, for going back to Angelina's first audition on Norway's Got Talent. That was my first exposure to this very talented and versatile young lady and my life has never been the same since that performance. Perhaps I can persuade you to go back to an earlier recording of Angelina at age 6 and then the remainder of her performances at NGT. If you decide to do this, it will surprise you just how much both her stage presence and her vocal delivery of the songs improve on each successive occasion. Here are the links for the videos I mentioned. age 6 - Early visit to a Recording Studio: "I who have nothing": ruclips.net/video/RjQZKBpVaes/видео.html age 7 - Norway’s Got Talent - Judges' Cut-Off: "I’m a fool to want you": ruclips.net/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/видео.html age 8 - Norway's Got Talent - Semi Final: Bang Bang:ruclips.net/video/pcBoB49Gxn8/видео.html age 7 - Norway’s Got Talent - Judges' Cut-Off:I’m a fool to want you ruclips.net/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/видео.html age 8 - Norway's Got Talent - Final: Summertime: ruclips.net/video/443pBSpx5B4/видео.html
Hi Albert, it seems Georgina closed off the comments, so I could not answer you there: Oh, so you meant MY Angelina? 😂 Thank you, I would be really glad to see you experience that. She is only 4, so then we will have you here for a long time yet to come. Awesome 😊💕
It's a fantastic, even more fantastic is her development from this song, to "Bang Bang" and "Summertime" from the live shows a couple of months later. The maturing of her voice and singing in those few months is mind boggling, and really worth a listen (and reaction) :)
You made interesting comments about special vocal qualities being linked to the width and bone structure of the face. I'd be interested to know your analysis of Elvis Presley's special voice in relation to the shape and structure of his face. Angelina reminds me of Elvis in several ways, especially from the age of 11 to now. Thank you!
To truly appreciate this performance you have to listen to Billie Holiday's recording. The simarlarity is so startling that you will think Billie was reincarnated into Angelina. Don't know how this is possible but I haven't figured out how life on this planet began either..........but our being here proves that it was.
her family did encourage it, angelina fell in love with jazz at the age of 1, and she sang a song on camera emulating a jazz star. thats what she wanted to be. she wants to be like billie holliday, like all the people she looks up to. she was very young when she started playing, singing, playing piano, and guitar i think from the videos people have found of her learning to sing. its really interesting. i really wish more families let their kids sing. i only learned recently that my mom liked to sing in high school and people loved her voice. she hid it mostly from us for 50 years. i sing alot more now, especially after hearing about that. angelina is my everyday inspiration. she is the best.
nice reaction. I have the feeling that when Angelina was 3 or 4 years old, they had to explain the songs to her in very basic terms so she could perform in the right tempo. On the next 2 songs on this show you will see a visible progress on Angelina.
Hi Valerie. It’s been great to watch all of your reactions. I went through the rabbit hole months before you did but in a quicker succession. From your first review to now, watching your facial reactions to what you are witnessing from AJ has been heartwarming. I know that I have written a few posts before, and you are a true professional, but isn’t it just crazy what we are all witnessing from this wonderful AJ? I will say it again, I’ve never had a singer push all emotional buttons like Angelina does. OMG these moments are priceless!
I started at the beginning again and working my way up to your current video. You are so informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and interpretation. 🌸
The focus as she is about to go on stage - the compere is not even there as far as Angelina is concerned. I remember being blown away when I first saw this audition in the summer of 2014, and have watched it a million times (at least) since.
I'm glad to see you reacting to her again. I love your reactions. I don't see she interprets songs form a child's point of view. Somehow she can inhabit the emotional world of a song, even when she doesn't have that emotional maturity herself. She can have us all feeling sad at the end of a poignant Adele song, for instance, and then burst into a cheery goodbye. It's kind of jarring sometimes. You make like to know she just signed with Republic at 14. Don't know if you would like it (I know your predilection is for jazz), but I like her covers of Rhianna's Stay or of Lana del Rey's Young and Beautiful.
Great review and commentary as usual, Valerie :) Everything you said is on point. Specially how children soak up what their parents expose them to culturally. And if the child happens to be as gifted as Angelina, listening to jazz from a very young age sort of paved her way. I have to point out her extraordinary ear for music which you can observe not only in her tone, melismas, musicality but particularly in her timing. She takes the time to come in the right moment in sync with the music, or elongates certain words for emphasis. Also, regarding her family and particularly her grandmother encouraging her career, the great thing about it is that they didn't "push" her to be someone she was not already. They only gave her the freedom and the means to be what she wanted to be. When the world learnt about Angelina, they proceeded to protect her from excessive and early exposure, while still allowing her to slowly develop her craft and her career. One last thing, Angelina has not only been blessed with a unique voice but also with a big heart, kindness, humility and generosity.
What a super reaction, also the day me and family fell in love. I said before, 2021 will be a great super year for Angelina. Thanks for a great reaction.....by the way, you have tons more to react to. : )
Angelina said she started exploring jazz music via an iPad and RUclips. She searched for jazz songs and decided to sing the ones she loved. Initially I guess she got exposed to jazz at home via jazz records being played. Her mother said Angelina picks her own songs. Even when she was very little. So she has found her way to most of the covers all by herself.
Hi Valerie. I absolutely loved your ereaction to gloomy Sunday. Furthermore it is the way you reacted. Your voice, the little hmm's and cooing sounds were so descriptive of your emotions and adoration of her. Thankyou for that. I must have watched that video dozens and dozens of times, and every time it's like the first. What a gift from God. This girl is going to be thee most famous of her time. I think it will surpass other greats.
Thank you for reacting to this. This was a life changing moment for me when i watched it in Norway. This was the moment i became a music fan of a child. Yeah the subtitles is correct translated 😊
wow! "broad face makes a difference". "family encouraged her". learning a lot from you. i'm a musician. no family encouragement. still want to soar at my age. thanks
I always knew Gloomy Sunday to be known as the 'Hungarian Suicide Song' - i've heard some amazing performances of it over the years. But at 7 her voice is incredible for such a mature song.
Thank you for watching the entire video from beginning to end with the subtitles! Most reactors cut out all of her background information, play ONLY her performance then, BOOM! cut it off for their reaction. Great reaction with observations and insights that only a vocal coach would know.
Jordan attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where she received vocal training. In addition to singing, she plays the piano, violin, guitar, and flute, and also paints.
7 year uts so amazing, they are wright she is born to sing. The only time a saw that emotion during this kind of show was by a Dutch sinher/songwritter competion ruclips.net/video/4tEJDxl7uxo/видео.html its a song about missing someone, She lost her parrents at young age. Btw the new season of Beste Zanger was starting this week, there is no Floor in this season, but I have high expation of Miss Montreal.
Valerie, so glad you wanted to see this. Isn't it wonderful? Please listen to Bang Bang and then Summertime. You'll see how she actually elevates her performances in the competition. Incredible!
My tip for all! "Dont beleive the shit media feed you! You can live a life Truman style, or live real life!" take the red pill on corbett report youtube
There’s so many places you can go with Angelina, but it seems you have not watched her other NGT performances. Whether you review them for us to watch-and I hope you do-you should listen to her other audition song, I’m a Fool to Want You (a cappella). And then her two actual full-on performances of Bang, Bang and Summertime. Just for your sheer enjoyment and amazement, you have to see them. On her first two Billie Holliday pieces, she’s basically channeling Holliday. On Bang, Bang and Summertime, you’re watching Angelina giving her own interpretation to the songs. Summertime is stunning. Bang, Bang is, no question, the best version I’ve ever heard-and I’ve loved this song since the 60’s when I heard Cher’s classic version and Nancy Sinatra’s even better take on it. Angelina conveys the adult, melancholic theme better. It’s chilling to hear and watch Angelina deliver this. You understand right away that this 7 year old realizes that the power of her performance will not come from showing off her vocal range, but by an understated, quiet performance that has the audience transfixed at the first notes. She’s still mesmerizing me today.
I have a round head and an oval face. Don't hit me in the face with a frying pan though, don't want to sing that bad. Her grandmother started her on voice lessons at age 4! She was instrumental in Angelina's musical development.
I didn't know whether you had seen the video or not but there is a video of her singing at the age of 6 in a studio singing I have nothing if you haven't seen it you should watch it it's fantastic love you reactions by the way
My parents were music freaks. They loved big band music. They brought me to many of those concerts like Frank Sinatra, Count Basie, Mel Torme, Duke Ellington, Maynard Ferguson, Blood Sweat and Tears, Chick Corea, John McLaughlin, Return to Forever etc...it just seamed to rub off onto me. I got really involved with music at 4th grade. I was hard core finishing music education in college and performing in various professional bands and some studio work. I was no where near as talented as this young lady. She will be a well known performer for a long time.
Hopefully, with the new recording contract, they will press some vinyl LP's. Imagining hearing that old style jazz on vinyl. It probably won't get much play from the tween to 30 demographics, but my generation will love to dust off our phonographs and amplifiers to appreciate true classics. I hope that her recording label allows her to stay true to her style. I'm sure they will push her toward the money making genres, but I hope they allow her to continue with the classic genres also, as well as originals. I am very close to someone (my son-in-law) who's music company is affiliated in some way with Republic Records. I'll give him my suggestions for her hahaha.. I wish.
If they press her albums with Angelina on the covers millions will be sold which will be framed and hung on millions of art walls around the world. So tell him to bring this up as the revenue stream will be gigantic.
@@billweekley4077 I really hope he's going to be involved with this account. There's no chance she'll be involved with my daughters company - Sony - It has affiliates with Simon and his group
She was young and learning when she developed her singing. If you wonder why she holds your heart in her expressive hands when she sings....anything, it is because Lady Day is in her vocal chords. Billie sang through pain. Angelina sings from her soul, from her depth as an early learner listening to a genius jazz singer. She is so gifted.... When I listen, I bring my tears, and my heart....
That was a great reaction & nice little review. Thank you Valerie. Did you ever react to her singing on the same show, "I'm a fool to want you" ? You should go & react to it if you haven't. Valerie have you ever tried & figure out Angie's range. Her high & lows (my thoughts are she can go E4-E6 from A2-B2) What do you think.?
If you watch Angelina Jordan - I Who Have Nothing ruclips.net/video/RjQZKBpVaes/видео.html recorded by her grandmother at her school's recording studio when she was six years old, you will see why she had the confidence at age seven to audition for Norway's Got Talent. The discussion with the engineer at the end translates to: Angelina: Was it good? Technician: It was great Angelina. For a first time. Angelina: Laughs Technician: No it was completely beautiful, actually. Angelina: Laughs Technician: There was a some mess-up in the middle part. Angelina: Yes Technician: You shuffled some of the words around. Angelina: Laughs. Technician: How did you feel it worked yourself? Angelina: Wheeeel, it was ok... Only one sentence was... Technician: Yes, there were some (cuts off) I appreciate your Angelina reactions.
You pointed out how she sounded like a young child here (because "she was 7, for cryin' out loud"). The amazing thing is, over the course of just a few months (5 or 6?), she lost a lot of that childlike quality in her voice. Or, well, I guess I should say she learned how to compensate for it, because she didn't _completely_ lose her so-called "rasp" (or what I like to call her "childlike hoarseness") until she was 10 or 11. In the second round of this competition, singing "I'm a Fool to Want You" a cappella, she sounded very much like she did here, but in the semifinals, where she sang Nancy Sinatra's version of "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)", the limited range of the song, pitched much lower than "Gloomy Sunday", fit her voice perfectly, and she was able to deliver a more powerful, more mature sounding vocal. Then in the finals, she took out all the stops and sang "Summertime" in a style reminiscent of Dinah Washington, "only more so" [grin] (although the musical arrangement is that of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong's 1958 version). I really hope you choose to react to the other 3 NGT performances. If you want to stick with longer versions and English subtitles, you can use these videos: * "I'm a Fool to Want You" ruclips.net/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/видео.html (no judges' comments in this round, and the only pre-song stuff is just her saying what she's going to sing, so subtitles/captions are not necessary - please note that this particular video is the only stand-alone upload of this performance [i.e., not part of a compilation] that includes the _full_ song: all other videos of it present an edited version [apparently the way it was originally broadcast on TV] that omits the entire bridge section of the song) * "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" ruclips.net/video/pcBoB49Gxn8/видео.html (includes post-song judges' comments, with English captions ["CC"] available; unfortunately, the video is in the wrong aspect ratio [16-by-9 video squashed into 4-by-3], so this other version ruclips.net/video/HCaDyiqs7Wg/видео.html is better for watching her sing the song - you can switch to the captioned video for the post-song stuff) * "Summertime" ruclips.net/video/bnpFsCNKzFg/видео.html (includes pre-song mini-interview and post-song judges' comments, with English captions available) There's also a video containing the announcement of the final results: ruclips.net/video/zN4kAof1is0/видео.htmlm9s (English captions available, but I don't think they're quite as good as in the other video I linked to, so I don't suggest using this one for the "Summertime" pre- and post-song stuff) And finally, there's this short interview with Angelina's mother as the post-win celebrations are still going on around her: ruclips.net/video/OP1ZUeCrbMI/видео.html If you don't care about all the pre- and post-song stuff, you can just use videos 3, 4, and 5 of Rusty's chronological playlist: ruclips.net/p/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO
I Angelina Jordan is a child prodigy no doubt about it she was given the gift for she had to work with it and practice I’ll see her singing at age of 14 months little bed with a diaper on and she never stop singy
Again, another wonderful reaction over this exceptional human being!😍 This was the episode to enter the contest, the rest of her performances hereinafter: 1. "Gloomy Sunday" you just reacted to 2. "I'm a Fool To Want You" a cappella judges not allowed to comment (no subtitles) Here you have the complete sequence (unfortunately no subtitles) ruclips.net/video/y3oYloFYRzI/видео.html but with google audio translator I got the following main words and look at the end those going forward, including Angelina: "Thank you it was nice; we'll have a little conversation between us it is better to go out and then we will call you back in just a short time; very well done... Welcome back It was nicely done and you can sing at a very high level and very much different kind was taken and thus also a very difficult task for us 4 and we have made a choice and I will ask the following to take a step forward: Natalie, Ulrik, Vegard, Adele and Tommy he is unfortunately no longer in the competition. Thank you very much for participating and for the great effort. Thank you for coming you can go out (meaning they stop there); then it comes to remaining here, it's like that everyone goes ahead in the competition! " 3. "Bang-Bang" in the semi-final ruclips.net/video/7LVHl_juO-Q/видео.html 4. "Summertime" In the final (subtitles avail.) Full final show ruclips.net/video/zN4kAof1is0/видео.html
Your probably already know this, but just in case you haven't. Anglina just signed with Republic Records last week There going to make her there top priority new star. Republic Records has signed many great artist. Amy Whinehouse, Taylor Swift Ariana Grandae and others top artist today. So maybe a album soon Finger's crossed. Love your reaction Stay Safe 😍 😍
Valerie, I really enjoy your reaction videos, particularly those of Angelina. I know you love jazz & one of my absolute favorite's is her slow, smooth, sophisticated version of Cry Me A River as an 11 yo. She has a few other versions on YT & it's on her 2018 album, "It's Magic," but this one with a small jazz band is my favorite. It is a Master Class in smooth jazz & it just mesmerizes me. It's a live concert & you can see her mouth/face for you to analyze what she is doing. You will love it! ruclips.net/video/jV8HIVL2VDE/видео.html
Hungarian that’s in direct translation of written hunger, and the direct translation of a title is sad Sunday night direct translation from she had a ride. She knows her music.
So we all know how well she can elicit emotional responses with her voice, the right lyrics she could have Satan whimpering like a sad babe. Can you imagine her coving Vera Lynn "we'll meet again". She would have ended WW2.
She's nervous at the beginning. Notice how she stumbles over her name. Notice also that last question about the meaning of the song. It sounds like Angelina doesn't know what the song is really about (it's about a man wanting to kill himself to be with his dead lover - kind of dark). But she still captures the feel of it, by instinct.
Hi as a fan of your reactions especially to Angelina Jordan, I’d love you to have a listen to this little girl. I have been listening to her for a few years on RUclips. I know she is from Moldova, the poorest country in Europe, but rich in culture. I don’t speak her language but it obvious she has musical parents who are singers and have their own orchestra it seems. The little girl is 10 now it would seem and sings in a few languages and English. The link below shows her ability. It’s not English, but her stage presence and confidence at 10 is amazing. She’s been doing this since about 7 as far as I can see in front of hundreds on stage. She seems to be one to watch. Amelia Uzun. ruclips.net/video/uUKQIVjRuno/видео.html
That was rude in Hungarian an actual translation. The song is sad Sunday Angela knows what she’s doing. She studied this music for grandmother. She was three and she took two and I dumped her water. Billie Holiday means the world to her that Louis Armstrong Frank Sinatra, even Whitney Houston she studies people from 33 years of age her grandmother in addition to jazz and she took it to duck duck to the water. She loves this music and she still loves it all.
Try listening and reacting to Filipino singer Marcelito Pomoy singing his four songs at America's Got Talent, his version of You Raise Me Up, Endless Love, Ikaw Ang Pangarap, his songs at One Magical Night Concert such as Despacito, Never Enough, Perfect, version of chinese song The Moon Represents My Heart, once popularized by Teresa Teng and all his Filipinos songs including those he interpreted at A Song Of Praise (ASOP) like Aasa Sa Awa Mo, Ama and Pagbabalik.
Just heard Angelina singing , " How Great Thou Art" Amazing! She does the whole song in her lower register, and I'm talking LOWER!! A MUST LISTEN!
Peter Stradelmeir writes below that Angelina's mom, when asked why she was crying during this performance responded, "that was when I knew I had lost her to the world". In the 7 years that have elapsed since then the world has indeed begun to get a sense of this immensely talented young woman. Her journey has really only just begun. IMO she is destined to be one of the greatest artists the world has ever seen. In her original song "Shield", which she wrote at age 11 or 12, you get a real sense that she knows what a profound impact her voice, her talent and her career will have on her and on her family. She refers to her family as her shield, protecting her from strangers and others who will seek to exploit her as she attempts to fulfill her dream. She also writes "forgive me for all that I am". An incredibly complex and intimate phrase that most adults, let alone a child of 11 or 12, would be focusing on. It is an example of what makes this young woman so special. Her character, her humanity and her humbleness, combined with a once in a lifetime artistic talent, are a gift to each of us that have been and will continue to be blessed to watch and share her journey.
I live in Denmark just south of Norway - The day after this audition, the hostess in the Danish TV-news
said, that something extraordinary had happened in Norway, and then they showed Angelina´s whole audition.
One more thing - Angelina has later told, that the moment she walk onto this scene, she felt at home, that it was here she belonged.
As the lady said when she sent Angelina out on stage, "go and give them jazz". And did she ever... and has never stopped. She does so many styles and genres, but you can always hear the jazz roots. Here is a quote from Angelina when asked about this song in an interview done before this show aired....
"The reason I chose this song is completely random. I love jazz, but "Gloomy Sunday" was random. It was a night I could not sleep and my mother was stressed that I was awake long after midnight. Then I borrowed my mom's iPad where I wanted to listen to jazz on RUclips before I fell asleep. Then came a picture of a beautiful lady screaming at the sky and with her eyes closed... I'm talking about jazz queen Billie Holiday. I heard the song "Gloomy Sunday" that night and then I had to hear it every day. I love the melody. I understood well what the text was about because I know English well. Every time I sang it I felt something special about it, it's hard to explain in words. When I sang it for mom, she said that this song is nice, but that it was incredibly sad song". - Angelina Jordan
Rusty Shackleford love this insight..thx Rusty..
Thx for this quote.
The quote reveals a remarkable vocabulary and perceptiveness for a 7 yr old. So she could understand it was more than ‘ a sad Sunday’.
That's remarkable. Not only is she an incredible singer at this young age, but to speak something that sophisticated in a language that's not even her native tongue---I'm blown away again by this young, prodigious phenom. Thanx mucho! for sharing that, Rusty. I'd love to see that interview.
Thank you Rusty, you always give us great info about Angelina. By the way, do you know if she was 7 when she won NGT? IS not clear because it probably was recorded and released after her 8th birthday. Do you have that answer? Thank you in advance Rusty. Regards from Lima, Perú!
Yes this was the birth of Angelinas stardom!
It is amazing to think how many times this show has been watched from its start in Norway 🇳🇴. It has gone around the world many times and you never get tired of it 😀
This is insane. Every time i listen to this i get the most outrageous goosebumps. this is not a child singing, this is the spirit of some Jaz singer using this little girl as an instrument to express her deepest emotions.
Her mother was asked why she cried. She said that was when I knew that I had lost her to the world
I get tears in my eyes from empathy for her mother - from happiness for us
That is beautiful! Thank you so much, Sara, for sharing your daughter with the universe.
@@wippletits I agree Kent. I'm always amazed at how someone can superimpose something like that on a situation (very easy to do on YT), and how easy it is to buy into---with no verification. Like the John Legend backing track rumor with AJ's performance of "All of Me", which I willingly bought into and continued to spread. When something like that takes off, it quickly gains wings and can be seen by millions as "truth"; especially if they want it to be true. I appreciate your healthy skepticism, which helps keep us all tied to reality. 👍😊
I keep imagining what it must have felt like to be in that audience.
That was a wonderful reaction, Valerie. This performance went viral over night on YT (over 5M views), and has over 25M views now. As one judge said, I think we have a star here. And the others felt the same. But for me, it's her next performance in the "judges cuts" that cemented that perception for the judges. All the singers are gathered on the stage (no audience) to perform for the judges. The judges give no feedback at this time, but they will decide from this who moves on to the semi-finals. Each contestant steps forward and does their thing, then returns to the line (looks like about 20/25 singers). Angelina then steps forward in her traditional white dress, barefooted, snaggletoothed, mounds of hair, and sings another Billie Holiday song, "I'm a Fool to Want You" ruclips.net/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/видео.html totally a cappella. And she just kills it. Then she smiles, does a half curtsie, says thanx, and returns to the line. Notice the young girl in red behind her place her hands over her face in amazement when Angelina returns to the line. Most of the singers probably suspected that they were now performing for second place. Angelina went on to win the show by a landslide, receiving almost half of all the votes. Her next two performances are equally amazing.
"Bang, Bang" ruclips.net/video/3D0e0miMSI0/видео.html In the semis she covering the Nancy Sinatra version of this song written by Sonny Bono (1966) for his then wife Cher.
"Summertime" ruclips.net/video/nsBfBuc9d9I/видео.html In the finals she performs this classic Gershwin song from the American Opera "Porgy and Bess".
Thanks for your exceptional insight into this young, prodigious, phenom. I always learn something new from your analyses. Looking forward to your next reaction to Angelina. 😊💕
It's crazy! I compared Angelina's rendition with Billie Holiday's rendition, at they sound almost alike!
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 ❤️💙 Loved your reaction!!!
Even though I have seen this MANY times, I am still amazed that she had no idea how good she was. None at all. I have come to learn that Angelina doesn't think in terms of ranges of good or not good. For her, it is either right or it isn't. She has an truly astonishing ability to know precisely how a piece should sound, and she invariably makes it so. All the improvement we see with Angelina over the years is her experimenting with and developing her instrument, so she can get her performances right, in whatever genre she attempts.
The world is a better place because of mentors like you. I thank you with all my heart for your service, Vocal Splendor Studios.❤
Wonderful to watch your reaction to little toothless Angelina amazing performance.
She really seems to reincarnate Billie Holiday!
Looking forward to your next reaction to Angelina!
Here is a quote from Angelina from an interview with TV2 after her Audions NTG 2014. "The reason I chose this song is completely random. I love jazz, but" Gloomy Sunday "was random. It was a night I could not sleep and my mother was stressed that I was awake long after midnight. Then I borrowed my mom's iPad where I wanted to listen to jazz on RUclips before I fell asleep. Then came a picture of a beautiful lady screaming at the sky and with her eyes closed. I heard the song "Glommy Sunday" that night and then I had to hear it every day. I love the melody. I understood well what the text was about because I know English well. Every time I sang it I felt something special about it, it's hard to explain in words. When I sang it for mom, she said that this song is nice, but that it was incredibly sad song. ". 😷✌️😷💯 *AJ* 💯
Loved this reaction. Agree with all of what you say. Hugs from Sweden.
First Valerie let me say thank you for your wonderful reaction to Angelina. I truly look forward to your comments and opinions. I am enamored with Angelina. Actually I love her. I adore her. I have been a huge fan for over 3 years. I knew almost from the very first note I heard her sing that I was incurably addicted. Until her AGT performances it really felt like Angelina was this astonishing little secret miracle shared by a select few whose souls were deeply touched. Now, the world knows of her and I admit to the tiniest jealousy at the thought of sharing her but still I am deeply happy for her. She is far, far more than just a gifted songstress of seemingly unlimited talent. She is the epitome of character, grace, beauty, compassion, humility, charity and joy. Not a single day passes without my listening to several of her songs. When she sings nothing else exists for me. Her voice and countenance envelop me in serenity, tranquility and awe. My soul is at peace and I know God Himself smiles with delight at this wonder with which He has graced our lives. There is something elusive and beguiling about Angelina that leads me to believe I will never fully comprehend what she has done for me but I'm going to spend my twilight years trying. I pray God bless and keep her all the days of her life.
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ I'm really pleased that you reacted to Angelina's performance of Gloomy Sunday from NGT. I also like the fact that you played the entire video, so that we got to see your reaction to Angelina before her audition, and to the judges and their remarks after her audition. I'm sure you know by now that Angelina has signed on with Republic Records (the same label as Amy Winehouse, Taylor Swift, and Ariana Grande), and that she is their "highest priority new artist."
Agree with you 100 percent. But may I say that it makes me uncomfortable when I see the quote at the end. I've seen it used many times since the announcement and it always makes me think "and so the pressure starts". Just me I guess.
I hear you. But, I would assume that they wanted that as part of the contract, and if they did I would assume that Angelina is comfortable with it. Of course, from a fan's perspective, I don't think of Angelina as having any pressure on her at all. She's already proven absolutely everything there is to prove as an artist. I would never measure her value as an artist by sales numbers or chart results or awards, for example.
@@9Ballr Well put. I feel the same way.
And Stevie Wonder!
The first of the judges, he who told her that she is an old soul is Omer Bhatti. He grew up mostly on Neverland, and was like a son to MJ himself, and he is still like family to the Jacksons. He is also a known Norwegian dancer who is influenced by MJ, and it really shows.
Any way we slice it, at least to me, it is simply astonishing how close to the original Billie Holiday recording Angelina was here. (Billie) ruclips.net/video/KUCyjDOlnPU/видео.html. To this day, no singer in my 78 years has ever touched me like Angelina does every time. Thanks for another very informative reaction to Angelina.
Kinda concerning how dark the original lyrics are. I'm pleased Angelina didn't really understand English very well when she did this.
I love your reactions. Thank you. I'm addicted to this little superstar, Angelina Jordan.
Why do I still cry when I see this? I know what is coming, but still cant hold back my tears. Angelina is such a diamond, I love this video showing where it all started. Thank you for this wonderful reaction, Valerie 👍
I don’t ask anymore. I’ve accepted it because I cry every time I see this too.
@@twfchamp02 Right! We just have to let nature do its course. It feels good to cry sometimes 😊
Most kids this age can barely sit on the toilet. Interpreting? What? Style? Inflections? Phrasing? Telling the story? What? For Billy Holiday fans, this brings back huge emotions. From a little kid. What? Internalizing? Nobody learns this stuff!!! This is a blessing for all the people who get the opportunity to hear her creations.
Thank you, Valerie, for going back to Angelina's first audition on Norway's Got Talent. That was my first exposure to this very talented and versatile young lady and my life has never been the same since that performance.
Perhaps I can persuade you to go back to an earlier recording of Angelina at age 6 and then the remainder of her performances at NGT. If you decide to do this, it will surprise you just how much both her stage presence and her vocal delivery of the songs improve on each successive occasion. Here are the links for the videos I mentioned.

Hi Albert, it seems Georgina closed off the comments, so I could not answer you there: Oh, so you meant MY Angelina? 😂 Thank you, I would be really glad to see you experience that. She is only 4, so then we will have you here for a long time yet to come. Awesome 😊💕
It's a fantastic, even more fantastic is her development from this song, to "Bang Bang" and "Summertime" from the live shows a couple of months later. The maturing of her voice and singing in those few months is mind boggling, and really worth a listen (and reaction) :)
You made interesting comments about special vocal qualities being linked to the width and bone structure of the face. I'd be interested to know your analysis of Elvis Presley's special voice in relation to the shape and structure of his face. Angelina reminds me of Elvis in several ways, especially from the age of 11 to now. Thank you!
Very nice review. I'm a big fan of Angelina and it was fun to watch your review.
To truly appreciate this performance you have to listen to Billie Holiday's recording. The simarlarity
is so startling that you will think Billie was reincarnated into Angelina. Don't know how this is possible
but I haven't figured out how life on this planet began either..........but our being here proves that it was.
Awesome. Never get tired of seeing this. Thank you!
It has always been wonderful watching your reactions to Angelina. Thank you.
her family did encourage it, angelina fell in love with jazz at the age of 1, and she sang a song on camera emulating a jazz star. thats what she wanted to be. she wants to be like billie holliday, like all the people she looks up to. she was very young when she started playing, singing, playing piano, and guitar i think from the videos people have found of her learning to sing. its really interesting. i really wish more families let their kids sing. i only learned recently that my mom liked to sing in high school and people loved her voice. she hid it mostly from us for 50 years. i sing alot more now, especially after hearing about that.
angelina is my everyday inspiration. she is the best.
nice reaction. I have the feeling that when Angelina was 3 or 4 years old, they had to explain the songs to her in very basic terms so she could perform in the right tempo.
On the next 2 songs on this show you will see a visible progress on Angelina.
I haven't heard you talk about her TIMING! It is IMHO absurd for a child at that age and near perfect in all other respects.
In jazz singing that's called phrasing. Frank Sinatra, for instance, was famous for his phrasing.
nice reaction. I love your little sounds of happiness.
Hi Valerie. It’s been great to watch all of your reactions. I went through the rabbit hole months before you did but in a quicker succession. From your first review to now, watching your facial reactions to what you are witnessing from AJ has been heartwarming. I know that I have written a few posts before, and you are a true professional, but isn’t it just crazy what we are all witnessing from this wonderful AJ? I will say it again, I’ve never had a singer push all emotional buttons like Angelina does. OMG these moments are priceless!
I started at the beginning again and working my way up to your current video. You are so informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and interpretation. 🌸
The focus as she is about to go on stage - the compere is not even there as far as Angelina is concerned. I remember being blown away when I first saw this audition in the summer of 2014, and have watched it a million times (at least) since.
I'm glad to see you reacting to her again. I love your reactions. I don't see she interprets songs form a child's point of view. Somehow she can inhabit the emotional world of a song, even when she doesn't have that emotional maturity herself. She can have us all feeling sad at the end of a poignant Adele song, for instance, and then burst into a cheery goodbye. It's kind of jarring sometimes. You make like to know she just signed with Republic at 14. Don't know if you would like it (I know your predilection is for jazz), but I like her covers of Rhianna's Stay or of Lana del Rey's Young and Beautiful.
Great review and commentary as usual, Valerie :)
Everything you said is on point. Specially how children soak up what their parents expose them to culturally. And if the child happens to be as gifted as Angelina, listening to jazz from a very young age sort of paved her way. I have to point out her extraordinary ear for music which you can observe not only in her tone, melismas, musicality but particularly in her timing. She takes the time to come in the right moment in sync with the music, or elongates certain words for emphasis.
Also, regarding her family and particularly her grandmother encouraging her career, the great thing about it is that they didn't "push" her to be someone she was not already. They only gave her the freedom and the means to be what she wanted to be.
When the world learnt about Angelina, they proceeded to protect her from excessive and early exposure, while still allowing her to slowly develop her craft and her career.
One last thing, Angelina has not only been blessed with a unique voice but also with a big heart, kindness, humility and generosity.
Thank you vocal Splendor for a very informative reaction
What a super reaction, also the day me and family fell in love. I said before, 2021 will be a great super year for Angelina. Thanks for a great reaction.....by the way, you have tons more to react to. : )
You have very good ideas about quite everything, dear Valerie.
Angelina said she started exploring jazz music via an iPad and RUclips. She searched for jazz songs and decided to sing the ones she loved. Initially I guess she got exposed to jazz at home via jazz records being played.
Her mother said Angelina picks her own songs. Even when she was very little. So she has found her way to most of the covers all by herself.
Im like u... Can't help but giggle,at the different arrangements she put forward lol... amazing hehehehe
Every time I hear AJ sings ( no matte at what age ) I forget all my daily troubles and sorrow...Great reaction my friend. Cheers.
I agree with your evaluation, Val. I also appreciate learning something new from you.
From Indonesia I am impressed by reaction of yours on AngelinaJordan singing.
❤️ your reaction 👍😊
Hi Valerie.
I absolutely loved your ereaction to gloomy Sunday. Furthermore it is the way you reacted. Your voice, the little hmm's and cooing sounds were so descriptive of your emotions and adoration of her. Thankyou for that. I must have watched that video dozens and dozens of times, and every time it's like the first. What a gift from God. This girl is going to be thee most famous of her time. I think it will surpass other greats.
Just another great reaction to the Angel of song...thank you.
Thanks for another great review, please keep the Angelina reviews coming.
I was waiting for you reaction to this one!!👍🏼 Awesome 👍🏼🎼🤗
Thank you for reacting to this.
This was a life changing moment for me when i watched it in Norway. This was the moment i became a music fan of a child. Yeah the subtitles is correct translated 😊
wow! "broad face makes a difference". "family encouraged her". learning a lot from you. i'm a musician. no family encouragement. still want to soar at my age. thanks
I always knew Gloomy Sunday to be known as the 'Hungarian Suicide Song' - i've heard some amazing performances of it over the years. But at 7 her voice is incredible for such a mature song.
The original title is:"Szomorú Vasárnap"- by Rezső Seres.
I never get fed up of this video no matter how many times I see it.
I always like your reactions.
Thank you very much 😄
Thank you for watching the entire video from beginning to end with the subtitles! Most reactors cut out all of her background information, play ONLY her performance then, BOOM! cut it off for their reaction. Great reaction with observations and insights that only a vocal coach would know.
All of her performances from NGT are excellent. Summertime is one of my all time favorites.
There’s another song where she sings A cappella for the same Talent Show, Its called I’m A Fool To Want You
Jordan attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where she received vocal training. In addition to singing, she plays the piano, violin, guitar, and flute, and also paints.
Fifth and six grade school only basically self taught
Child prodigy
She auditioned there a capella. You should listen to that, and I think she did another song for this contest as well.
great reaction
7 year uts so amazing, they are wright she is born to sing. The only time a saw that emotion during this kind of show was by a Dutch sinher/songwritter competion ruclips.net/video/4tEJDxl7uxo/видео.html its a song about missing someone, She lost her parrents at young age. Btw the new season of Beste Zanger was starting this week, there is no Floor in this season, but I have high expation of Miss Montreal.
So adorable Girl!
Valerie, so glad you wanted to see this. Isn't it wonderful? Please listen to Bang Bang and then Summertime. You'll see how she actually elevates her performances in the competition. Incredible!
Your hair looks awesome... we grow old and die, some better than others but we all.. ;)
My tip for all! "Dont beleive the shit media feed you! You can live a life Truman style, or live real life!" take the red pill on corbett report youtube
There’s so many places you can go with Angelina, but it seems you have not watched her other NGT performances. Whether you review them for us to watch-and I hope you do-you should listen to her other audition song, I’m a Fool to Want You (a cappella). And then her two actual full-on performances of Bang, Bang and Summertime. Just for your sheer enjoyment and amazement, you have to see them. On her first two Billie Holliday pieces, she’s basically channeling Holliday. On Bang, Bang and Summertime, you’re watching Angelina giving her own interpretation to the songs.
Summertime is stunning. Bang, Bang is, no question, the best version I’ve ever heard-and I’ve loved this song since the 60’s when I heard Cher’s classic version and Nancy Sinatra’s even better take on it. Angelina conveys the adult, melancholic theme better. It’s chilling to hear and watch Angelina deliver this. You understand right away that this 7 year old realizes that the power of her performance will not come from showing off her vocal range, but by an understated, quiet performance that has the audience transfixed at the first notes. She’s still mesmerizing me today.
I have a round head and an oval face. Don't hit me in the face with a frying pan though, don't want to sing that bad.
Her grandmother started her on voice lessons at age 4! She was instrumental in Angelina's musical development.
That's HUGE having a family that exposes them to music.
@@VocalSplendorStudios It is especially when you saw Angelina at age 6 in the recording studio performing I Who Have Nothing
I didn't know whether you had seen the video or not but there is a video of her singing at the age of 6 in a studio singing I have nothing if you haven't seen it you should watch it it's fantastic love you reactions by the way
My parents were music freaks. They loved big band music. They brought me to many of those concerts like Frank Sinatra, Count Basie, Mel Torme, Duke Ellington, Maynard Ferguson, Blood Sweat and Tears, Chick Corea, John McLaughlin, Return to Forever etc...it just seamed to rub off onto me. I got really involved with music at 4th grade. I was hard core finishing music education in college and performing in various professional bands and some studio work. I was no where near as talented as this young lady. She will be a well known performer for a long time.
You are adorable too!!!! Omg I just love your straggly unwashed grey hair.
Seven years when she won
Hopefully, with the new recording contract, they will press some vinyl LP's. Imagining hearing that old style jazz on vinyl. It probably won't get much play from the tween to 30 demographics, but my generation will love to dust off our phonographs and amplifiers to appreciate true classics. I hope that her recording label allows her to stay true to her style. I'm sure they will push her toward the money making genres, but I hope they allow her to continue with the classic genres also, as well as originals. I am very close to someone (my son-in-law) who's music company is affiliated in some way with Republic Records. I'll give him my suggestions for her hahaha.. I wish.
If they press her albums with Angelina on the covers millions will be sold which will be framed and hung on millions of art walls around the world. So tell him to bring this up as the revenue stream will be gigantic.
@@billweekley4077 I really hope he's going to be involved with this account. There's no chance she'll be involved with my daughters company - Sony - It has affiliates with Simon and his group
She was young and learning when she developed her singing. If you wonder why she holds your heart in her expressive hands when she sings....anything, it is because Lady Day is in her vocal chords. Billie sang through pain. Angelina sings from her soul, from her depth as an early learner listening to a genius jazz singer. She is so gifted.... When I listen, I bring my tears, and my heart....
He does a fantastic job I watch hier this 15 times can you get over that little song bird voice Angelina Jordan is a child prodigy
That was a great reaction & nice little review. Thank you Valerie. Did you ever react to her singing on the same show, "I'm a fool to want you" ? You should go & react to it if you haven't. Valerie have you ever tried & figure out Angie's range. Her high & lows (my thoughts are she can go E4-E6 from A2-B2) What do you think.?
Isn’t she adorable?? Hoy come only one perdón can hace só mucho talent???
If you watch Angelina Jordan - I Who Have Nothing ruclips.net/video/RjQZKBpVaes/видео.html recorded by her grandmother at her school's recording studio when she was six years old, you will see why she had the confidence at age seven to audition for Norway's Got Talent. The discussion with the engineer at the end translates to:
Angelina: Was it good?
Technician: It was great Angelina. For a first time.
Angelina: Laughs
Technician: No it was completely beautiful, actually.
Angelina: Laughs
Technician: There was a some mess-up in the middle part.
Angelina: Yes
Technician: You shuffled some of the words around.
Angelina: Laughs.
Technician: How did you feel it worked yourself?
Angelina: Wheeeel, it was ok... Only one sentence was...
Technician: Yes, there were some
(cuts off)
I appreciate your Angelina reactions.
You pointed out how she sounded like a young child here (because "she was 7, for cryin' out loud"). The amazing thing is, over the course of just a few months (5 or 6?), she lost a lot of that childlike quality in her voice. Or, well, I guess I should say she learned how to compensate for it, because she didn't _completely_ lose her so-called "rasp" (or what I like to call her "childlike hoarseness") until she was 10 or 11. In the second round of this competition, singing "I'm a Fool to Want You" a cappella, she sounded very much like she did here, but in the semifinals, where she sang Nancy Sinatra's version of "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)", the limited range of the song, pitched much lower than "Gloomy Sunday", fit her voice perfectly, and she was able to deliver a more powerful, more mature sounding vocal. Then in the finals, she took out all the stops and sang "Summertime" in a style reminiscent of Dinah Washington, "only more so" [grin] (although the musical arrangement is that of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong's 1958 version).
I really hope you choose to react to the other 3 NGT performances. If you want to stick with longer versions and English subtitles, you can use these videos:
* "I'm a Fool to Want You" ruclips.net/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/видео.html (no judges' comments in this round, and the only pre-song stuff is just her saying what she's going to sing, so subtitles/captions are not necessary - please note that this particular video is the only stand-alone upload of this performance [i.e., not part of a compilation] that includes the _full_ song: all other videos of it present an edited version [apparently the way it was originally broadcast on TV] that omits the entire bridge section of the song)
* "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" ruclips.net/video/pcBoB49Gxn8/видео.html (includes post-song judges' comments, with English captions ["CC"] available; unfortunately, the video is in the wrong aspect ratio [16-by-9 video squashed into 4-by-3], so this other version ruclips.net/video/HCaDyiqs7Wg/видео.html is better for watching her sing the song - you can switch to the captioned video for the post-song stuff)
* "Summertime" ruclips.net/video/bnpFsCNKzFg/видео.html (includes pre-song mini-interview and post-song judges' comments, with English captions available)
There's also a video containing the announcement of the final results: ruclips.net/video/zN4kAof1is0/видео.htmlm9s (English captions available, but I don't think they're quite as good as in the other video I linked to, so I don't suggest using this one for the "Summertime" pre- and post-song stuff)
And finally, there's this short interview with Angelina's mother as the post-win celebrations are still going on around her: ruclips.net/video/OP1ZUeCrbMI/видео.html
If you don't care about all the pre- and post-song stuff, you can just use videos 3, 4, and 5 of Rusty's chronological playlist: ruclips.net/p/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO
Hello please react Angelina Jordan sings Summer time OMG.😍 you love thanks another great analysis
I've heard that her mother, Sara, was wiping the tears from her eyes because she just realized that she had lost her daughter to the world.
The Hungarian Suicide Song is the original name of the song - before Billie Holiday
Actually, the original title translates to "The World Is Ending". "Hungarian Suicide Song" is just a popular nickname for the song.
Listen to her "Wicked Game"
I Angelina Jordan is a child prodigy no doubt about it she was given the gift for she had to work with it and practice I’ll see her singing at age of 14 months little bed with a diaper on and she never stop singy
Again, another wonderful reaction over this exceptional human being!😍
This was the episode to enter the contest, the rest of her performances hereinafter:
1. "Gloomy Sunday" you just reacted to
2. "I'm a Fool To Want You" a cappella judges not allowed to comment (no subtitles)
Here you have the complete sequence (unfortunately no subtitles) ruclips.net/video/y3oYloFYRzI/видео.html but with google audio translator I got the following main words and look at the end those going forward, including Angelina: "Thank you it was nice; we'll have a little conversation between us it is better to go out and then we will call you back in just a short time; very well done... Welcome back It was nicely done and you can sing at a very high level and very much different kind was taken and thus also a very difficult task for us 4 and we have made a choice and I will ask the following to take a step forward: Natalie, Ulrik, Vegard, Adele and Tommy he is unfortunately no longer in the competition. Thank you very much for participating and for the great effort. Thank you for coming you can go out (meaning they stop there); then it comes to remaining here, it's like that everyone goes ahead in the competition! "

Valerie, I really enjoy your reaction videos, particularly those of Angelina. I know you love jazz & one of my absolute favorite's is her slow, smooth, sophisticated version of Cry Me A River as an 11 yo. She has a few other versions on YT & it's on her 2018 album, "It's Magic," but this one with a small jazz band is my favorite. It is a Master Class in smooth jazz & it just mesmerizes me. It's a live concert & you can see her mouth/face for you to analyze what she is doing. You will love it! ruclips.net/video/jV8HIVL2VDE/видео.html
Hungarian that’s in direct translation of written hunger, and the direct translation of a title is sad Sunday night direct translation from she had a ride. She knows her music.
❤❤❤❤
You have to watch the video, please! In the end you will laugh a lot !!)) I appreciate your evaluation, thank you very much!
:-)) Love
She curtsies after each performance, even at AGT.
🙏🙏👍👍💙💙
So we all know how well she can elicit emotional responses with her voice, the right lyrics she could have Satan whimpering like a sad babe. Can you imagine her coving Vera Lynn "we'll meet again". She would have ended WW2.

She's nervous at the beginning. Notice how she stumbles over her name. Notice also that last question about the meaning of the song. It sounds like Angelina doesn't know what the song is really about (it's about a man wanting to kill himself to be with his dead lover - kind of dark). But she still captures the feel of it, by instinct.
Aw
Hi as a fan of your reactions especially to Angelina Jordan, I’d love you to have a listen to this little girl. I have been listening to her for a few years on RUclips. I know she is from Moldova, the poorest country in Europe, but rich in culture. I don’t speak her language but it obvious she has musical parents who are singers and have their own orchestra it seems. The little girl is 10 now it would seem and sings in a few languages and English. The link below shows her ability. It’s not English, but her stage presence and confidence at 10 is amazing. She’s been doing this since about 7 as far as I can see in front of hundreds on stage. She seems to be one to watch. Amelia Uzun. ruclips.net/video/uUKQIVjRuno/видео.html
She is from Norway, not from Moldova
@@Sverdetisteinen I wasn’t talking about Angelina- see my link later in the text. I have followed Angelina many years and am a huge fan.
That was rude in Hungarian an actual translation. The song is sad Sunday Angela knows what she’s doing. She studied this music for grandmother. She was three and she took two and I dumped her water. Billie Holiday means the world to her that Louis Armstrong Frank Sinatra, even Whitney Houston she studies people from 33 years of age her grandmother in addition to jazz and she took it to duck duck to the water. She loves this music and she still loves it all.
