There’s sort of an understanding among Angels that age 10 is when Angelina went from the best child singer you’ve ever heard to a great singer whose age is irrelevant. You can listen with your eyes closed and it’s just a great singer. In this performance, she’s singing live on national TV, and also in front of a live audience with a seriously good band behind her. And she’s 10. AJ is famous for her low register. You’ll hear more and more of that in her later performances. Her sound is unique. You’ll know it’s Angelina after the first line. Her low register, her incredible levels of texture, and her overall vocal toolkit is easily recognizable. If you want to jump ahead a bit to understand why Angelina is unique, watch her cover of Adele’s Easy on Me when AJ was 16. It’s live in the studio, it’s her arrangement, and you’ll hear vocal tools that are just stunning.
We can watch this a 1000 times and still go, "Wow", every time. You have to believe the people in the audience were in shock. And, I can only wonder what the musicians were thinking when they were rehearsing for this live presentation. "You'll be playing for a 10 year old kid." "No way. You have to be kidding." "Nope. I'll tell you what, speak to me after the rehearsal, okay?" Need I finish the story? I didn't think so. 🙂
While I type my comments, I see the thumbnail for ThatSingerReactions, reacting to this performance. The thumbnail says "Best Kid Singer Ever at 10???" I have spent a lot of time on RUclips, learning of many new artists, over the past 4.5 years, since I learned of Angelina. I haven't found any child singer to compare Angelina to, especially when you consider how many genres she exceled at as a child.
Angelina is affectionately known as “The Boss” by the musicians she has performed with! Between the ages 10-12 her vocal instrument had exponential growth! There are numerous behind the scenes recordings showing Angelina providing guidance and collaboration on songs! Let’s see, just a 10 year old girl on stage with a band and just kills this song! She knows how to work the camera watch as the camera goes around her and she makes the brief eye contact without missing a beat, there are seasoned performers who can’t do that. She then walks us up the scale and smash’s it with a Nordic Hammer! Smiles at you at the end, yep I did that! But in a humble way!🇳🇴🇺🇸💯Angelina is known for only having to do one take to have a song ready for production!
She started working on the arrangement for this song when she was 8 or 9 & it evolved until she perfected it in this performance. BTW, the time difference between I Put a Spell on You, at barely 9 yo, & this performance, which is a couple of weeks before her 11th Birthday. So that's about 1 3/4 yrs of development, which is a lot for Angelina.
Yes, that's her arrangement. Performing a song like that at the age of 10 ! There's no doubt that AJ is a phenomenon, which is why it's so interesting to see and hear what she's been up to since her debut. Thank you for your video.
She can't just write an arrangement for multiple instruments. It seems she gives musicians a sense of the tempo she wants, then directs individual adjustments, as needed, during the practice. She's always respectful to the musicians, the reason for their endearing reference to her as the boss. When working with single instruments, word is, she just says "follow me" and starts singing.
Thank you for your reaction to Angelina, I want to share with you another exciting, extraterrestrial voice. This angel is one of the best singers (incredible extremely low vocal, dramatic contralto + polyphonic voice) in the world! Diana Ankudinova I was stunned to find that the first performance (Show "You are Super") I heard was when she was 14!!!! She's now 21 (turned 31st May) and still developing. She sings in Russian, French, English, German, Spanish and Arabic. The covers she performed on that show are very popular on RUclips. Many RUclipsrs publish reactions on these performances, which include "Oh,Darling" (❗10 y.o.), "Feeling Good" (13 y.o.), "California Dreamin' " , "Sweet Dreams" (all 19 y.o.), "Can't Help Falling In Love", "Crow", "Personal Jesus" (all 18 y.o.), "Wicked Game", "Human" (15 y.o.), "Derniere Danse", "It's a Man's Man's Man's World" (14 y.o.), "Take On Me" (17 y.o.) , film soundtrack to Dune, James Bond, Spirit of Baikal (all 20 y.o) , Desert Rose (21 y.o.) and others.
THank you so much for taking the time to give all that information. I've had Diana on my list but have added the songs you suggested to them. I have spinal fusion surgery on Friday but as soon as I am able to, I will start on my journey with her. Thanks again!
Consider reacting to the spectacular mesmerizing high energy live performance of 18 year old Angelina Jordan performing her new original song "Bad Valentine" with co-writer Toby Gad, the renowned songwriter and producer, who also delivered a powerful piano performance of this song at the historic Alex Theatre in Glendale, California. on Sept. 20, 2024. This is one of her best live performances, with sound from the mixing board and professionally recorded video. Available from Toby Gads RUclips channel under videos (Bad Valentine (Angelina Jordan and Toby Gad Live at The Alex Theatre). Angelina performed a total of 21 songs during this concert. Among these were three spectacular originals: “Thank You,” “What Am I to You,” and “Princess of Ruins.” that have not been released yet. A few of some other notable highlights included a duet with Scott Hoying (Pentatonix) and world famous harmonica and saxophone player Jimmy 'Z' Zavala performing with Angie on ‘“ I'd Rather Go Blind” and “Valerie”. A collection of spectacular videos from this concert can be found on James Thiel, Joey Farr and BigAngieFan RUclips channels.
Since no adult would ever expect a child would or even could pull any of this off, of course it's all her! She does most of the arrengments and I believe but not sure she picks the songs. I am sure of one thing, Angelina changes something inside of many, that;s why I say "World changer" and this one is here today, just in time!
Most consider Nina Simone's rendition to be 'The Gold Standard' for this song, but as good as that was, Angelina's can only be rated 'The Platinum Standard', for I have never heard a better rendition. She coordinates her vocal arrangement, while also deciding what instruments are to come forth, and her stage presence is remarkable for a girl this young.
Since you`re reacting to Angelina and Aurora from Norway, there`s someone else by the name of Susanne Sundfør. Undercover (live), When the Lord and White Foxes are very emotional songs from her. Closer to Aurora than Angelina, with an exceptional voice

Guess she feeling good for a reason😂 She is awesome❤
Angelina writes her own vocal arrangements and supervises or collaborates on the instrumental arrangements.

She talks to the other musicians during rehearsals .. a mutual respect I think

She has no equal...
She's arranged all of her music since very young. 3-4?
