Hi Harri, I have seen, you already got a huge amount of comments - but may be you can find some new information in my "standard firsties commen" ;-) so - here it is: Welcome to the universe of Angelina Jordan and thanks a billion for this emotional and very nice reaction to her - I'm sure to hear more reactions from you! ...because it is... ...too late! From now on you are assimilated in Angelinas entourage! Resistance is futile... Even if you won't believe it and if you are in denial about it: Only listen to one song sung by Angelina Jordan and you are hooked on listening her voice! May be you aren't aware of it yet... a legend says in rare cases there are humans who can resist.... but I can't believe it ;-) Every time it's a pleasure to watch people reacting to Angelina Jordan - especially when it is the first time - and I hope to see more of your reactions on Angelina Jordan... ;-) May be you wonder, what videos you should next react to ;-) ... There is a big pile of over 130 videos on RUclips with Angelina Jordans rehearsals, covers and originals... She is born 10th January 2006 in Oslo/Norge (English is her 3rd language ;-) ), sung her first notes of a Whitney Houston song with 18 months (link see down), started researching the internet for Jazz 3 yo, entered Norske Talenter (Norwegian Got Talent) 7 yo and won it 8 yo, was on AGT The Champions (recorded Oct. 2019, aired Jan. 2020) where she didn't won - some rumours say because she/her mother didn't sign the contract with the enterprise of Simon Cowell for to stay independend - meanwhile she has signed with Republic Records (musicnorway.no/news/industry-talk-michael-astar/).

And a little Question: When you react to her cover "I put a spell on you" b/w studio version at 9yo (ruclips.net/video/nwFloCPXzCs/видео.html - btw. she made most of her cover arrangements by herself!) it would be nice to react in the same reaction video IN ADVANCE to the original from Screemin' Jay Hawkins (from 1956 - Live: ruclips.net/video/7kGPhpvqtOc/видео.html or another version of it: ruclips.net/video/orNpH6iyokI/видео.html and here a version from 1990 in Tokyo - I feel, this is like the version Angelina has taken as the model, but I don't know it ( ;-) ): ruclips.net/video/Bb9ag8bch_U/видео.html or as Audio-Studio-Version: ruclips.net/video/82cdnAUvsw8/видео.html) that's real fun :-D - and than you will find out that Angelinas cover is a real tribute to Jay Hawkins :-D Thanks a billion again for your reaction! … and see you soon with your next AJ reactions - with greetings from Berlin/Germany :-D Best regards Andreas
So true. Listening to Angelina while living with 60 years of traumatic stress can make for a lonely time flooded with some very old tears mixed with new ones.
It still surprises me that some people have yet to discover Angelina. Do you want to feel like a kid in a candy store? Just start listening to her music.
@@robertoxyzzz I'm straight with ya brother, this one is special, she's cut from a different cloth, go back to her Norways Got Talent days, see her beginnings.
Angelina is 12 here, just jamming with guitarist, Ivan Mendez, while she reads the lyrics. Her home videos, like this masterpiece, are impromptu jam sessions where they record the 1st take. Ivan says if they do a 2nd take it's because he messed up. She says "follow me" & off she goes, making it up as she goes along, it's phenomenal. So they are as raw as it gets. Her TV performances or official recordings are always polished & perfect, but she uses these as exercises, trying different genres & rearrangements of classic songs from the 1940's to today. She writes her own amazing songs, but what impresses me the most is her ability to take a classic, iconic song, like Bohemian Rhapsody, & transform it into something totally different, that everyone loves, including Queen. Her voice has matured like a fine wine in the last 3 years since this video was made. Her latest release is a cover of Michael Jackson's Heal the World. She doesn't change this one, rather she emulates Michael with her breathy, whisper singing, just another of her many voices. ruclips.net/video/Hy5bBKfIziw/видео.html She is once-in-a-lifetime man, so get on the Angelina train for the ride of your life. Thumbs up & subscribed for more AJ.
I know how u feel my brother... I know. As far as the tears, it's ok. That's the way Angelina breaks you down in order to build you back up again, into a more beautiful person.
Many thanks for reacting to my all time favorite musical artist, Angelina Jordan. She was 12 years old for this performance with guitarist, Ivan Mendez. Ivan said when invited to play for Angelina they would sit down and in most cases do just one take, sometimes two. Angelina is the only vocalist to make me cry in my 62 years. As talented as Angelina is, she is an even better human being, humble and filled with empathy. Please take the time to read the biography I compiled for her. Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman, who has chosen to keep his life private. Angelina started singing around 18 months of age after listening to Whitney Houston on RUclips. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was considered a prodigy as an artist and poet and married a Japanese man who passed away in 2019. Angelina speaks Norwegian, Farci, English and Japanese. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where she received vocal training starting around age 4. Angelina plays the piano, violin, guitar and flute and also paints. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage. At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. Angelina asked her mother to enter her in Norway’s Got Talent (NGT) at age 5 but that talent show had a minimum age requirement of 7. Angelina at age 6 and 7 did record a few songs in a recording studio, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old. Angelina is blessed with a deep voice with a beautiful rich tone and has always made her sound much older than her age. Many compare her voice to that of Amy Winehouse. Her voice is highly emotional which is very rare for a young girl and some people can’t accept that such a soulful voice can come from someone who has not had enough life experience. One vocal coach on RUclips recently said, “If you have a song and want to have more emotion added to that song, have Angelina sing it.” At age 7, Angelina’s audition on NGT was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried. The next performance on NGT was her cover of Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. Angelina’s acapella performance is astounding especially for a girl who had just turned 8. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them. In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on RUclips went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old. On June 27, 2018 Jordan performed “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. Angelina performed on America’s Got Talent The Champions which aired in January 2020. She earned the Golden Buzzer for her performance of her arrangement of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. She sang her cover of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in the Finals but didn’t make it into the final 5 contestants. There is much debate over how and why Angelina was eliminated. Angelina has covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, all of which are available on RUclips. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On RUclips, search on Angelina Jordan every song as a fan put all songs in one file. In August 2020, her manager and uncle Michael Astar announced Angelina has signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. On 11/6/20 her first single on Republic Records, Million Miles, was released. Her 2nd single, 7th Heaven is a jazzy, upbeat, inspirational song. Hopefully her first album on Republic Records will be released soon. Angelina Jordan is a humble, compassionate young lady of very few words when she is not singing. She is on videos saying she wants to sing for the entire world and also that she wants to improve the quality of life for all the children on Earth. She has helped to raise millions of dollars for children’s charities and environmental causes. Musicians who have worked with her have been quoted saying Angelina is among the most talented musicians they have worked with and she is the boss in the room when rehearsing. Remarkable for a girl of few words when not singing. For Angelina, it is all about the music and not her. Personally, I find Angelina’s voice the most soulful and emotional voice of my lifetime. Angelina as a person, inspires me to be a better person and live longer to listen to her sing for as long as I can.
@@HarriBestReactions I knew you would eventually hear Angelina, there is no one like her from 6-15, some say she has the most versatile female voice on the planet, I am one, at 72 I have never heard anyone like her...ever! She is incredible as a vocalist and as a human being. You are going to be constantly amazed, try “I put a spell on you” the black and white version when she had just turned 9, this is beyond belief. Have a pleasant journey Harry, you will never be disappointed. Peace
emotions she creates are one of a kind,,,,,,only Angelina can touch your soul for real,,,,,nobody else makes millions of adults cry and smile at the same time,,,,,,you just met an angel,,,,,,welcome to paradise ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
HarriBest... you have no idea how normal your reaction is to Angelina. She has that effect in so many people. You can never get enough from her. Wait till you react to BORN TO DIE... is a thing of pure beauty
She kills me the way she smiles, waves and says "bye," after tearing out your heart. It's almost like a personal joke for her. 😆❤❤❤ Very surprised this is the first time you're hearing her, by the way.
I just watched an interview with the guitarist and he said they would sit around for the morning and talking - would not let him practice the song - and then told him to just Follow Angelina - In one take....
YOU feel silly???? This girl has had me blubbing like a baby since she was 7! A lady once told Angelina that her voice had made her cry. Not recognising this as a compliment, Angelina's reaction was to apologise. She is more believable than the original artist almost every time she covers a song even when dealing with subject matter she cannot have experienced. She has been described as a true empath, a reincarnation, a legend and a gift . . . all before she has left school. You haven't seen the best of Angelina Jordan and won't be able to make your mind up when you do. She is a breath of fresh air; a young performer who walks her own path. From a very young age she eschewed nursery rhymes in favour of blues and jazz. In an interview when she was 7, she cited Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, Louis Armstrong and Frank Sinatra amongst her favourite singers, reserving special affection for Billie Holiday, without whom, she has said, there would be no Angelina Jordan. All this from a child growing up in Norway, a close neighbour whose subjects regularly visit us here in London and yet have never given an inkling that any of them had heard even a bar of jazz music. More than anything, however, Angelina is good person; the child you might wish you had or maybe the person you might wish you were. Her fans - her Angels as she has chosen to call them - feel they know her pretty well and if she has a fault, nobody has spotted it. Certainly she deserves a better world than has been left her but every few generations throws up a healing voice - perhaps a missionary, sometimes a preacher; occasionally an orator or a poet. It may be hyperbole to cast a teenage singer in that role but a daily dose of Angelina is perhaps unwittingly easing my pandemic journey.
Thank you so much for being here.....English is not her first language. I'm 80, and she has done more for my high blood pressure than my pills....Really hope you come back, she's awesome. : )
you have just discovered the amazing Angelina,the barefoot princess of jazz,she is very captivating for her age,12years old in this great performance, 15now, welcome to the big musical journey with Angelina,starts singing in studio when she was only 6 years old.
Harri, you just described a Living Angel that has fallen to Earth bring love and emotion into our souls with her song. Angelina has touched all her fans; she calls her "Angels" with prior love. We share our tiers with you, Harri.
The Norwegian singer (Now based in LA) Angelina Jordan is easily explained as the best, most versatile, and complete young singer we can listen to today. When her record label (Republic Records) , family and herself want it, they can just push the button. Many people forget that she is only 15 years old today because she is so mature for her age. She still goes to school. and I think everyone on her team including the record company (Republic Records), slows down a bit with marketing her. She is so good anyway, so she can not be ignored. She delivers music that lasts, and not music that lasts for a few weeks as plastic hit. Angelina has over 500 Million Views on RUclips and over 2 Billion Views on Facebook overall on her videos. Angelina won Norway's Got Talent at the Age of 8, and has been producing masterclass level vocals ever since. The only and regular marketing is done by the fans via RUclips. All the important top personalities in the western music industry know who she is and what she can do. In just a few years, I know that we will see great things from Angelina.(Google translate)
You listen to other artists. You FEEL Angelina. You are correct, this girl is something extraordinary. I've read before that "Angleina is a liberating tear drop on the cheek of humanity" Looking forward to watching your AJ journey.
I am 78 years old and I have never heard such a voice either! So I have been listening to Angelina for three years now, and every performance is a gem, some better than others, but some are almost transcendent! The emotional content she puts into every song she sings is almost beyond belief! So welcome to Angelina's world, a world of songs covering many genres, many venues...thanks for your reaction!
She's not looking at the lyrics but the notes and changes that she's done on the song. Her "mispronunciations" are from the fact that she is Norwegian and English is not her first language. Her pronunciation has improved considerably in the 3 years since she created the video for this song.
There aren’t a “few mispronunciations”, I think She has a few “new pronunciations”...it’s her style. It lends itself to the sultry, dreamy sort of sound...
Really refreshing to hear your reaction. Angelina is truly humble, loving, raised millions for charities, a true blessing to humanity. As you will find out.
well i am and 54 year old man i cant lissen to her to much she is the only singer that makes me cry almost every time i lissen to her its the sound in her voise that are so hurtfull never heard a singer like that before. When you lissen to her it sounds like she been living and experince the thing she sings. i dont think we never will get another singer like her.
You my friend have fallen into a rabbit hole from which there is no escape. Probably because no one ever wants to escape. I shudder at the soulful, rapturous joy you are about to be forced to endure from the mouth of a sweet, healing Angel sent by God. But, beware, I have had to feed my addiction (blissfully!) for over 4 years now, every single day. Thank you. I subscribed for your Beatles reactions some time ago. Please forgive me for not suggesting Angelina to you. Anyone who loves truly great music such as yourself should have been introduced to Angelina long ago. In fact, everyone should know about Angelina. Please continue to react and share. Thank you.
Don't worry, she makes almost everyone cry. Her incredible voice combined with a level of empathy that is unmatched. You need to hear her jazz! Go back to her performances on Norway Got Talent, which she won when she was 8. Work your way forward from there. Welcome to the Angels.
@@amywalker3647 Angelina must have heard Heidi say "How old were you when you went on." She was seven then but actually eight for the other three performances.
Believe me: Angelina has real superpowers! She can and will hit you as many times as you listen or watch her carefully! Never an artist impacted me like she did and continues to do. And 5 years has passed and I'm still amazed by her voice, soul and heart! Welcome to Angelina's world! You have just barely scratched the surface and have 130+ songs/videos to go! Enjoy the journey!
A single take (probably the first and only take), reading the lyrics in a second language at age 12, singing effortlessly, and it touches you like that. Oh yeah, and there's a LOT more where this came from. Welcome to Angelina's World!
Angelina is 12 here. Just sitting at home with guitarist Ivan Mendez singing this song live, one take, no Studio tweaking, just singing. So beautiful. She reaches down inside and grabs your heart, touches your soul and brings tears of joy. She has over 130 songs on RUclips. You will experience the incredible Talent of this girl which will bring joy and happiness in your life as you listen to her. I'm sure many other commenters will suggests many songs for you to react to. Enjoy the journey.
Perfectly normal reaction. Everyone who hears Angelina sing, most are surprised, mesmerized, and just shocked by this girl's talent. We fans call her the barefoot princess of jazz, but she has become so versatile that she can almost sing anything. She's 15 years old now, signed with Republic Records, and is putting out and creating music as we speak. She recently has released her cover of Heal the World and it was breathtaking!...
Most reactors are speechless as well! She has over 130 songs in her library, mostly covers, but since she has signed with Republic Records she has released several amazingly wonderful original songs. And she is only 15 now! You are in for a journey much like your Beatles journey....you will want to listen to it all. Thanks for a great reaction!
She is young. Only 11 or 12 here. She turned 15 on Jan. 10, 2021!. Angelina has over 140 songs on RUclips. Any one will blow you away. Have fun. She also has 2 channels of her own as well as 2 fans who have their own channels dedicated to Angelina. Check out her performances on America's Got Talent Champions in 2020. It will provided a good starting point.
Oh My Dear God! You already get it. This is the second video I have had the pleasure to watch. I am so very pleased to be part of your journey. You will never be the same. 🌺
Welcome ! Most beautiful voice, pretty much the thoughts of millions at this point. I would like to think that those who "get " her, have hearts and minds attuned to this particular Angel. This was an excellent cover but you really are not going to believe what lies ahead for you. With over a hundred covers and now several originals accessible on youtube, she never falters, usually does the song better than the original and does so fearlessly and humbly at the same time.
Angelina has been bringing grown-ups to tears since she was seven years old, so don't feel bad that she did it to you too. I have a couple of suggestions if you need help gathering yourself: "Something's Got A Hold On Me" or "7th Heaven".
@@davidgoldstein1526 I think Gary was trying to suggest songs that are more upbeat. "Valerie" (on her CoverChannel) is a great one. (However, there is no respite from just how friggin' amazingly she sings. Harri may well tear up, anyway, regardless of how upbeat the song is.)
Beware, the rabbit hole is deep with this one. Angelina is, in my opinion, the greatest vocalist to have ever lived, and she is still a baby. I'm pretty sure I have socks older than her. But there is absolutely no one who can move me with their voice like she can. To see how she started you may want to react to the Tom Jones cover of I Who Have Nothing (Age 6), or to see where she is now the Adele cover of All I Ask (Age 14/15).
What amazes me is she puts so much emotion and feeling into it while she keeps looking to the left at the lyrics because she is not comfortable with the song yet, and you will see her do this quite often. She is one of kind thats for sure. Great reaction looking forward to many more. Thanks
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! No need to apologize, Angelina does that to many. You've done it now. You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most confident, versatile, seemingly effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured across artists, genres, or decades). You may think this an exaggeration but listen to a few more of her many performances (125+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday , Nancy Sinatra , and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Etta James to Amy Winehouse (and many others in between) and do them all justice! If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you (as she did here at 12yo) with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40 piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. Wait until you find out why she performs barefooted. Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library.
I know this won't be the last time you cry after listening to Angelina sing. It is a frequent reaction to her incredible ability to convey feelings with her songs. There is no lack of songs that will blow you away that she sings, and no lack of eras, from modern pop to 1950 classics. She does them all and all perfect.
Wonderful and sincere reaction. It's amazing she is reading the lyrics and it takes nothing away from her performance. No one puts forth the emotion she does and she does all her arraignments.
Amongst the hopeless times we live through where it is natural to wonder whether human beings deserve to exist there comes this pure being that shows us what can be . Hope goes on for humanity.
Oh, man, you're in trouble. You've just tasted the fruit of the gods and there is no antidote. Angelina is perhaps the finest vocal artist in the world today, and now she is just 15. When she sang this Adele cover she was 12 years old and already a seasoned professional, having won Norway's Got Talent at age 8! I will not overload you with information but give you the great news: she has over 135 wonderful covers and originals on YT. And, for your (understandably mute) reactions, you will be rewarded with thousands of loyal fans subscribing to your channel. She has an intriguing history, and I'm sure the regulars will fill you in. I have to listen to Angie every day for my sanity.
Angelina Jordan can be a shock, you see the young girl, but when she sings, it's not possible to understand where the voice comes from. She is 12 years old here, having recently moved to California from Norway. I have subscribed to your channel in the hope that you will continue to discover more of Angelina's performances. I have looked at the artists you have covered, it looks like you have come to the right place. I see Elvis, Queen - just these two gives you lots of choices from Angelina's songs. In 2019 (when she was 13 years old), for the 2020 season of America's Got Talent the Champions, Angelina made a radical new arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody, for which she got the golden buzzer. That one you really have to see. Just think of Freddie Mercury doing jazz! There are a few Elvis songs that she covers really well, but we can get into that later. Her roots are firmly planted in Jazz, Billie Holiday, Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, Amy Winehouse. She also does Blues, Soul, Country - a very versatile performer, she has done some shockingly good covers and also has a few originals. Sorry for the long comments, you have lots of reading to do, but I hope that you will enjoy the journey down this long and winding road (oh yes she has covered the Beatles too).
I keep coming back to share your reaction to this song. It is so touching, and I have the same experience as you demonstrate. It feels good to stir ones soul.
There is so much more ... Her heart is as big, warm and special ... as her voice ... If you give her a chance, she will fill your heart with love through the music and the most beautiful instrument she has ... the voice ❤ she is still young (15) but only in age, her soul is old..... you will understand if you continue to listen to what she has done 💕 Stay safe 🥰
If you really want to wash your eyes out...Enjoy her B/W studio version of Million Miles. A song she wrote for her grandfather that passed away. The first real pain she's had over losing a loved one. Just her, a piano and a cello.. you can feel and see the pain as she sings and it hits you hard.
db Million Miles was a tribute to her maternal grandfather who passed away in November 2019. This was not her first loss of a loved one. In March 2018 she lost her paternal grandfather whom she was very close to, and then a month later her friend Avicii committed suicide.
Welcome to the world of Angelina. You will be surprised at all that she does, how beautiful her voice is and on top of that she is a beautiful soul. I look forward to sharing your journey. Lovely review 💕
Buddy, your going to shed a lot more tears. She has made many a grown man cry. Angelina fans know exactly what your experiencing right now, because we've all gone through the same thing. Stuned, is one of the many emotions you'll feel. Don't stop now, join us in this spiritual journey. React to her and tell us how you feel.
She made me smiled and feel that feeling of music is ageless and her voice is transcendent, soul touching. There's an old wise soul in that little girl and she's touching a lot of people. Love enchantment miracle angelic and kindness beauty and something we can't put words into that stream of ancient and new feelings, longings and being alive! I'm so grateful that I stumbled upon Angelina's singing, its like finding a cosmic spirit, a star visiting us, offering her gifts to us.
My recommendation for your next Angelina song? Anything-and you can start at age 7 (Gloomy Sunday) or now at 15 (All I Ask)- or the 100+ in between. She is the best singer I’ve ever heard, and that goes across many styles and genres. You’re hooked, but it will be the most beautiful addiction of your life.
... kind of an emotional shock, to start with this one. This is a more or less normal reaction on her. Here she was 12. Now she is 15. Angelina is very special. She won Norway's Got Talent in the age of 7/8 covering Billy Holiday, Nancy Sinatra and Gershwin. She has originals too. So welcome at the universe of Angelina Jordan Astar. (her full name, seriously) She's got something magic. Therfore she put a spell on us, to make us angels (how she calls her fans) So if you don't want to be enchanted, don't listen to "I Put A Spell On You", black and white studio version. This attack she launched in the age of 9. Already in style...
Welcome to the World of the most beautiful soulful voice EVER! Angelina Jordan, norwegian talent champion in 2014 at the age of...8. Today she's 15, has 130+ covers of most famous singers of all time, specializing in jazz,but can sing all genres perfectly except hip hop or rap. But who knows? Watch her performance on AGT of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody in Jan 2020. I won't say more, because there's so much to be said about this prodigy.
I think she was just barely 15 at the time she recorded this. It is an original. And her voice is beyond description. She will make your eyes tear up listening to her voice. Chasing her covers and originals, will cause many reactions to her voice.
What a joy to listen to Angelina. If you were not overwhelmed by listening to her you would have a heart of stone. Her emotions in her songs are simply pure and raw, things she cannot possibly have experienced. Such a God given talent. Please listen and react to many more, you will be delighted, as we all are 💕💕💕
Angelinas voice has a way of crying out, begging us to understand how she feels and what she is going through. It is penetrating and sings to our souls!!
You have just discovered a real prodigy, many say reincarnation of past vocal masters. Lots of her covers equal or better the original, drawing out emotion and meaning like you didn't notice before. Sounds like you will enjoy reacting to her many times over. Having grown to love the work she does I've been listening to few other singers these last three years. Welcome to her world!
Hi Harri,
I have seen, you already got a huge amount of comments - but may be you can find some new information in my "standard firsties commen" ;-)
so - here it is:
Welcome to the universe of Angelina Jordan and thanks a billion for this emotional and very nice reaction to her - I'm sure to hear more reactions from you! ...because it is...
...too late!
From now on you are assimilated in Angelinas entourage! Resistance is futile...
Even if you won't believe it and if you are in denial about it: Only listen to one song sung by Angelina Jordan and you are hooked on listening her voice! May be you aren't aware of it yet... a legend says in rare cases there are humans who can resist.... but I can't believe it ;-)
Every time it's a pleasure to watch people reacting to Angelina Jordan - especially when it is the first time - and I hope to see more of your reactions on Angelina Jordan... ;-)
May be you wonder, what videos you should next react to ;-) ...
There is a big pile of over 130 videos on RUclips with Angelina Jordans rehearsals, covers and originals...
She is born 10th January 2006 in Oslo/Norge (English is her 3rd language ;-) ), sung her first notes of a Whitney Houston song with 18 months (link see down), started researching the internet for Jazz 3 yo, entered Norske Talenter (Norwegian Got Talent) 7 yo and won it 8 yo, was on AGT The Champions (recorded Oct. 2019, aired Jan. 2020) where she didn't won - some rumours say because she/her mother didn't sign the contract with the enterprise of Simon Cowell for to stay independend - meanwhile she has signed with Republic Records (musicnorway.no/news/industry-talk-michael-astar/).

2. "Above the water": ruclips.net/video/SC3F0bKKk3U/видео.html - interesting voice - even if this is not my preferred genre ;-)

In addition to school she got also vocal training at the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program (I read, that this school said, they couldn't teach her more stuff because she has all learned what she could learn in this school ;-) ) - and btw. she plays also grand piano, violin, flute and guitar, make her arrangements herself, wrote a book, sew clothes for herself (partly with art from her grandma like in her first AGT performance and in her music video "Shield").
So she is a real all-rounder and I think all her fans are eager to see and hear what she is doing next...
All the other things like more recommendation, chronological playlists and so on you can read in the comments of the mega-fans like Fernando F., Rusty (AJ videos in chronological order ruclips.net/channel/UC55am_6Y5-Fj4ri8xOInstA), Andy Schnell, ...
And a little Question:
When you react to her cover "I put a spell on you" b/w studio version at 9yo (ruclips.net/video/nwFloCPXzCs/видео.html - btw. she made most of her cover arrangements by herself!) it would be nice to react in the same reaction video IN ADVANCE to the original from Screemin' Jay Hawkins (from 1956 - Live: ruclips.net/video/7kGPhpvqtOc/видео.html or another version of it: ruclips.net/video/orNpH6iyokI/видео.html
and here a version from 1990 in Tokyo - I feel, this is like the version Angelina has taken as the model, but I don't know it ( ;-) ): ruclips.net/video/Bb9ag8bch_U/видео.html
or as Audio-Studio-Version:
ruclips.net/video/82cdnAUvsw8/видео.html) that's real fun :-D - and than you will find out that Angelinas cover is a real tribute to Jay Hawkins :-D
Thanks a billion again for your reaction! … and see you soon with your next AJ reactions - with greetings from Berlin/Germany :-D Best regards
Andreas
@Andreas Scmmitt thanks for all this info - you have saved me a bunch of time! One-stop shopping here to learn about this prodigy!
schoene zusammenfassung
@@buddyneher9359 : My pleasure! :-)
@@msbest9830 : Danke :)
@@msbest9830 Bestimmt. Finde ich auch :-)
She is and will be the greatest talent of her and our generation.
I'm speechless...how is she that good! Such depth!
Crying is an occupational hazard when listening to Angelina. She can effortlessly communicate with your heart.
So true. Listening to Angelina while living with 60 years of traumatic stress can make for a lonely time flooded with some very old tears mixed with new ones.
@@roymoore3156 I relate so hard ☝🏼
I've listened to reactions to her videos over and over and cry every time. Beautiful music does that to me.
So nicely said. So very right too!
How aptly put...
It still surprises me that some people have yet to discover Angelina. Do you want to feel like a kid in a candy store? Just start listening to her music.
As a 55 year old Alaskan man, she's made me cry more than a few times.
Same to me as a 55 year Swedish man. Can´t get enough of her voice.
where in Alaska? I'm in Fairbanks
You just got mugged by a 12 yr old girl, and she stole your heart.
😀😀
How ironic yet true for I never felt more enriched.
@@robertoxyzzz I'm straight with ya brother, this one is special, she's cut from a different cloth, go back to her Norways Got Talent days, see her beginnings.
hahahah oh! roddiener, you cracked me up. You just got mugged... lol
Your reaction is completely normal because you heard an angel sing ... and Angelina touched you in your heart and soul. 🧡
BTW, this Angel has brought many a grown man to tears, including me.
every damn time
Angelina is 12 here, just jamming with guitarist, Ivan Mendez, while she reads the lyrics. Her home videos, like this masterpiece, are impromptu jam sessions where they record the 1st take. Ivan says if they do a 2nd take it's because he messed up. She says "follow me" & off she goes, making it up as she goes along, it's phenomenal. So they are as raw as it gets. Her TV performances or official recordings are always polished & perfect, but she uses these as exercises, trying different genres & rearrangements of classic songs from the 1940's to today. She writes her own amazing songs, but what impresses me the most is her ability to take a classic, iconic song, like Bohemian Rhapsody, & transform it into something totally different, that everyone loves, including Queen. Her voice has matured like a fine wine in the last 3 years since this video was made. Her latest release is a cover of Michael Jackson's Heal the World. She doesn't change this one, rather she emulates Michael with her breathy, whisper singing, just another of her many voices. ruclips.net/video/Hy5bBKfIziw/видео.html She is once-in-a-lifetime man, so get on the Angelina train for the ride of your life. Thumbs up & subscribed for more AJ.
What he said...😎
@@josephstimpfl4594 😂
I know how u feel my brother... I know. As far as the tears, it's ok. That's the way Angelina breaks you down in order to build you back up again, into a more beautiful person.
So true.
Many thanks for reacting to my all time favorite musical artist, Angelina Jordan. She was 12 years old for this performance with guitarist, Ivan Mendez. Ivan said when invited to play for Angelina they would sit down and in most cases do just one take, sometimes two. Angelina is the only vocalist to make me cry in my 62 years. As talented as Angelina is, she is an even better human being, humble and filled with empathy. Please take the time to read the biography I compiled for her.
Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman, who has chosen to keep his life private.
Angelina started singing around 18 months of age after listening to Whitney Houston on RUclips. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was considered a prodigy as an artist and poet and married a Japanese man who passed away in 2019.
Angelina speaks Norwegian, Farci, English and Japanese.
Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where she received vocal training starting around age 4. Angelina plays the piano, violin, guitar and flute and also paints. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage.
At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true.
Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East.
Angelina asked her mother to enter her in Norway’s Got Talent (NGT) at age 5 but that talent show had a minimum age requirement of 7.
Angelina at age 6 and 7 did record a few songs in a recording studio, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old.
Angelina is blessed with a deep voice with a beautiful rich tone and has always made her sound much older than her age. Many compare her voice to that of Amy Winehouse. Her voice is highly emotional which is very rare for a young girl and some people can’t accept that such a soulful voice can come from someone who has not had enough life experience. One vocal coach on RUclips recently said, “If you have a song and want to have more emotion added to that song, have Angelina sing it.”
At age 7, Angelina’s audition on NGT was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried.
The next performance on NGT was her cover of Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. Angelina’s acapella performance is astounding especially for a girl who had just turned 8.
In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them.
In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists.
Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on RUclips went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old.
On June 27, 2018 Jordan performed “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London.
Angelina performed on America’s Got Talent The Champions which aired in January 2020. She earned the Golden Buzzer for her performance of her arrangement of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. She sang her cover of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in the Finals but didn’t make it into the final 5 contestants. There is much debate over how and why Angelina was eliminated.
Angelina has covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, all of which are available on RUclips. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On RUclips, search on Angelina Jordan every song as a fan put all songs in one file.
In August 2020, her manager and uncle Michael Astar announced Angelina has signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. On 11/6/20 her first single on Republic Records, Million Miles, was released. Her 2nd single, 7th Heaven is a jazzy, upbeat, inspirational song. Hopefully her first album on Republic Records will be released soon.
Angelina Jordan is a humble, compassionate young lady of very few words when she is not singing. She is on videos saying she wants to sing for the entire world and also that she wants to improve the quality of life for all the children on Earth. She has helped to raise millions of dollars for children’s charities and environmental causes.
Musicians who have worked with her have been quoted saying Angelina is among the most talented musicians they have worked with and she is the boss in the room when rehearsing. Remarkable for a girl of few words when not singing. For Angelina, it is all about the music and not her.
Personally, I find Angelina’s voice the most soulful and emotional voice of my lifetime. Angelina as a person, inspires me to be a better person and live longer to listen to her sing for as long as I can.
Wow!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@HarriBestReactions I knew you would eventually hear Angelina, there is no one like her from 6-15, some say she has the most versatile female voice on the planet, I am one, at 72 I have never heard anyone like her...ever! She is incredible as a vocalist and as a human being. You are going to be constantly amazed, try “I put a spell on you” the black and white version when she had just turned 9, this is beyond belief. Have a pleasant journey Harry, you will never be disappointed. Peace
emotions she creates are one of a kind,,,,,,only Angelina can touch your soul for real,,,,,nobody else makes millions of adults cry and smile at the same time,,,,,,you just met an angel,,,,,,welcome to paradise ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Warning: Angelina is a real danger...she makes us cry in front of everybody.
and all I can do is watch and cry...
So apt.
Cry smiling that is ... :-D
HarriBest... you have no idea how normal your reaction is to Angelina. She has that effect in so many people. You can never get enough from her.
Wait till you react to BORN TO DIE... is a thing of pure beauty
She kills me the way she smiles, waves and says "bye," after tearing out your heart.
It's almost like a personal joke for her. 😆❤❤❤
Very surprised this is the first time you're hearing her, by the way.
David Goldstein - " . . . a personal joke for her. " after tearing your heart out ! ! Well said ! !
made me laugh out - loud ! She is cruel , huh ! ? ?
That's something that was subconciously in my mind that never made it into thought. But, YOU DID IT!!! Bravo!!!
👏👏👏
I just watched an interview with the guitarist and he said they would sit around for the morning and talking - would not let him practice the song - and then told him to just Follow Angelina - In one take....
That girl!!!!.👍
YOU feel silly???? This girl has had me blubbing like a baby since she was 7! A lady once told Angelina that her voice had made her cry. Not recognising this as a compliment, Angelina's reaction was to apologise. She is more believable than the original artist almost every time she covers a song even when dealing with subject matter she cannot have experienced. She has been described as a true empath, a reincarnation, a legend and a gift . . . all before she has left school. You haven't seen the best of Angelina Jordan and won't be able to make your mind up when you do.
She is a breath of fresh air; a young performer who walks her own path. From a very young age she eschewed nursery rhymes in favour of blues and jazz. In an interview when she was 7, she cited Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, Louis Armstrong and Frank Sinatra amongst her favourite singers, reserving special affection for Billie Holiday, without whom, she has said, there would be no Angelina Jordan. All this from a child growing up in Norway, a close neighbour whose subjects regularly visit us here in London and yet have never given an inkling that any of them had heard even a bar of jazz music.
More than anything, however, Angelina is good person; the child you might wish you had or maybe the person you might wish you were. Her fans - her Angels as she has chosen to call them - feel they know her pretty well and if she has a fault, nobody has spotted it. Certainly she deserves a better world than has been left her but every few generations throws up a healing voice - perhaps a missionary, sometimes a preacher; occasionally an orator or a poet. It may be hyperbole to cast a teenage singer in that role but a daily dose of Angelina is perhaps unwittingly easing my pandemic journey.
"Speachless!!!!!!!!!!"........welcome to the ability of Angelina allow you feel the song not just hear it. Great honest first reaction.
Thank you so much for being here.....English is not her first language. I'm 80, and she has done more for my high blood pressure than my pills....Really hope you come back, she's awesome. : )
For another heart wrenching performance check out her cover of "Stay"
Wherever Angelina moves musicaly, she moves us to tears of joy and beauty.
Stay is one of my favorite covers, defiantly in the top 10...or 20.
you have just discovered the amazing Angelina,the barefoot princess of jazz,she is very captivating for her age,12years old in this great performance, 15now, welcome to the big musical journey with Angelina,starts singing in studio when she was only 6 years old.
Harri, you just described a Living Angel that has fallen to Earth bring love and emotion into our souls with her song. Angelina has touched all her fans; she calls her "Angels" with prior love. We share our tiers with you, Harri.
The Norwegian singer (Now based in LA) Angelina Jordan is easily explained as the best, most versatile, and complete young singer we can listen to today. When her record label (Republic Records) , family and herself want it, they can just push the button. Many people forget that she is only 15 years old today because she is so mature for her age. She still goes to school. and I think everyone on her team including the record company (Republic Records), slows down a bit with marketing her. She is so good anyway, so she can not be ignored. She delivers music that lasts, and not music that lasts for a few weeks as plastic hit. Angelina has over 500 Million Views on RUclips and over 2 Billion Views on Facebook overall on her videos. Angelina won Norway's Got Talent at the Age of 8, and has been producing masterclass level vocals ever since. The only and regular marketing is done by the fans via RUclips. All the important top personalities in the western music industry know who she is and what she can do. In just a few years, I know that we will see great things from Angelina.(Google translate)
Yea, but you conveniently leave out the fact that she didn't do much
singing between 1-1/2 and 7 years of age. All those wasted years !
@@ridgemanron, well she was itching to sing in Norway’s Got Talent when she was 5, but she could have been a slacker for a couple years...hahaha!
@@ridgemanron 👍😂😊😊
She gets in your head like no other singer I’ve ever heard before. She is God’s gift to mankind in terms of singing.
This is one long journey. Jazz is really her thing, IMO. Sorry, something I think she excels at. She is just exceptional at everything else.
You listen to other artists.
You FEEL Angelina.
You are correct, this girl is something extraordinary.
I've read before that "Angleina is a liberating tear drop on the cheek of humanity"
Looking forward to watching your AJ journey.
I am 78 years old and I have never heard such a voice either! So I have been listening to Angelina for three years now, and every performance is a gem, some better than others, but some are almost transcendent! The emotional content she puts into every song she sings is almost beyond belief! So welcome to Angelina's world, a world of songs covering many genres, many venues...thanks for your reaction!
She's looking at the lyrics while she's singing. She has a few mispronunciations. And it still blows your mind. This is why we love Angelina.
:-)) I agree, we see it many times, Love
She's not looking at the lyrics but the notes and changes that she's done on the song. Her "mispronunciations" are from the fact that she is Norwegian and English is not her first language. Her pronunciation has improved considerably in the 3 years since she created the video for this song.
There aren’t a “few mispronunciations”, I think She has a few “new pronunciations”...it’s her style. It lends itself to the sultry, dreamy sort of sound...
sometimes she makes the choice to misprounce, i believe.
Really refreshing to hear your reaction. Angelina is truly humble, loving, raised millions for charities, a true blessing to humanity. As you will find out.
well i am and 54 year old man i cant lissen to her to much she is the only singer that makes me cry almost every time i lissen to her its the sound in her voise that are so hurtfull never heard a singer like that before. When you lissen to her it sounds like she been living and experince the thing she sings. i dont think we never will get another singer like her.
Welcome to the Angelina Jordan rabbit hole. She has nearly 150 covers and originals to listen to. Have fun and enjoy!
Anytime she takes on a ballad by Adele, Rhianna, or Lana Del Rey, the result
will be like it is here. She owns the song from the day she sings it.
Join the club with how you were hit in the emotions. AJ is the single best performer I have ever heard.
You my friend have fallen into a rabbit hole from which there is no escape. Probably because no one ever wants to escape. I shudder at the soulful, rapturous joy you are about to be forced to endure from the mouth of a sweet, healing Angel sent by God. But, beware, I have had to feed my addiction (blissfully!) for over 4 years now, every single day. Thank you. I subscribed for your Beatles reactions some time ago. Please forgive me for not suggesting Angelina to you. Anyone who loves truly great music such as yourself should have been introduced to Angelina long ago. In fact, everyone should know about Angelina. Please continue to react and share. Thank you.
Don't worry, she makes almost everyone cry. Her incredible voice combined with a level of empathy that is unmatched. You need to hear her jazz! Go back to her performances on Norway Got Talent, which she won when she was 8. Work your way forward from there. Welcome to the Angels.
She was 7.
@@amywalker3647 7 when she entered, 8 when she won.
@@amywalker3647 Angelina must have heard Heidi say "How old were you when you went on." She was seven then but actually eight for the other three performances.
Believe me: Angelina has real superpowers! She can and will hit you as many times as you listen or watch her carefully! Never an artist impacted me like she did and continues to do. And 5 years has passed and I'm still amazed by her voice, soul and heart! Welcome to Angelina's world! You have just barely scratched the surface and have 130+ songs/videos to go! Enjoy the journey!
Try to hear her now at the age of 15. She covered the song "All i ask" - Adelle. Absolutly beautiful.
'I don't know 'is the perfect way to sum this up sir ! GO ANGELINA JORDAN!!!
well how about that! I found your first reaction to AJ! Cool. I seen most of your others reacting to AJ Amazing voice... yes?
Angelina is from heaven send to sing for you and me!
ANGELINA TOUCHES MY HEART EVERY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!⭐️
She is so young! Her voice is so beautiful. To me her voice is addicting. I can hear this song over and over again!
A single take (probably the first and only take), reading the lyrics in a second language at age 12, singing effortlessly, and it touches you like that. Oh yeah, and there's a LOT more where this came from. Welcome to Angelina's World!
Norwegian. Farsi, English, a basic grasp of Swedish and Japanese...her first language is probably music.
The first time I heard her was her interpretation of The Queen's song at the Got Talent in America I think... She's amazing
Probably Bohemian Rapsody.
Unforgettable.
I just love it when someone discovers Angelina
Angelina is 12 here. Just sitting at home with guitarist Ivan Mendez singing this song live, one take, no Studio tweaking, just singing. So beautiful. She reaches down inside and grabs your heart, touches your soul and brings tears of joy.
She has over 130 songs on RUclips. You will experience the incredible Talent of this girl which will bring joy and happiness in your life as you listen to her. I'm sure many other commenters will suggests many songs for you to react to. Enjoy the journey.
Thanks a lot for your kind reaction to Angelina Jordan.
Does any music make Angelina cry? Like her voice can do to half the planet!
Tears & goosebumps. Angelina sangria Emotion action is a storyteller
Perfectly normal reaction. Everyone who hears Angelina sing, most are surprised, mesmerized, and just shocked by this girl's talent. We fans call her the barefoot princess of jazz, but she has become so versatile that she can almost sing anything. She's 15 years old now, signed with Republic Records, and is putting out and creating music as we speak. She recently has released her cover of Heal the World and it was breathtaking!...
She has so much more to reveal to you she is an amazing singer she is 15 now .
She gives e goes bumps every time I hear her,
Maria Roberts
Most reactors are speechless as well! She has over 130 songs in her library, mostly covers, but since she has signed with Republic Records she has released several amazingly wonderful original songs. And she is only 15 now! You are in for a journey much like your Beatles journey....you will want to listen to it all. Thanks for a great reaction!
she has the soul of many people gone
Welcome to the exquisite world of listening to Angelina’s glorious voice!
She is young. Only 11 or 12 here. She turned 15 on Jan. 10, 2021!. Angelina has over 140 songs on RUclips. Any one will blow you away. Have fun. She also has 2 channels of her own as well as 2 fans who have their own channels dedicated to Angelina. Check out her performances on America's Got Talent Champions in 2020. It will provided a good starting point.
Oh My Dear God! You already get it.
This is the second video I have had the pleasure to watch. I am so very pleased to be part of your journey.
You will never be the same. 🌺
Welcome ! Most beautiful voice, pretty much the thoughts of millions at this point. I would like to think that those who "get " her, have hearts and minds attuned to this particular Angel. This was an excellent cover but you really are not going to believe what lies ahead for you. With over a hundred covers and now several originals accessible on youtube, she never falters, usually does the song better than the original and does so fearlessly and humbly at the same time.
4:12 Stay with whoever looks at you and feels like the guitarist to Angelina 😁
Angelina has been bringing grown-ups to tears since she was seven years old, so don't feel bad that she did it to you too. I have a couple of suggestions if you need help gathering yourself:
"Something's Got A Hold On Me" or "7th Heaven".
I would add her performance at the Alan Walker concert to the list.
Angelina could certainly be a powerhouse in the alternative music scene, as well.
@@davidgoldstein1526 I think Gary was trying to suggest songs that are more upbeat. "Valerie" (on her CoverChannel) is a great one. (However, there is no respite from just how friggin' amazingly she sings. Harri may well tear up, anyway, regardless of how upbeat the song is.)
Beware, the rabbit hole is deep with this one. Angelina is, in my opinion, the greatest vocalist to have ever lived, and she is still a baby. I'm pretty sure I have socks older than her. But there is absolutely no one who can move me with their voice like she can. To see how she started you may want to react to the Tom Jones cover of I Who Have Nothing (Age 6), or to see where she is now the Adele cover of All I Ask (Age 14/15).
She's Norwegian. I have seen her audition on Norway's Got Talent at age 7, and she was amazing!
You are right. This (she) is as good as it gets. I also had exactly the same reaction. I've heard most of her covers, not a loser among them.
12, now 15
What amazes me is she puts so much emotion and feeling into it while she keeps looking to the left at the lyrics because she is not comfortable with the song yet, and you will see her do this quite often. She is one of kind thats for sure. Great reaction looking forward to many more. Thanks
Great reaction to a vocal tour-de-force! No need to apologize, Angelina does that to many. You've done it now. You have fallen into the vortex of Angelina Jordan who arguably brings the most confident, versatile, seemingly effortless, and fearless vocal artistry found today (whether measured across artists, genres, or decades). You may think this an exaggeration but listen to a few more of her many performances (125+ covers plus original songs - all on YT) and you will see! She has been performing at a high level all over the world since age 8 when she won Norway's Got Talent singing Billie Holiday , Nancy Sinatra , and Gershwin. It is the rare singer that can, as Angelina has done, go from Queen to "Screamin" Jay Hawkins to Adele to Elvis to Whitney Houston to Etta James to Amy Winehouse (and many others in between) and do them all justice!
If you want to hear music, listen to anyone. If you want to feel music, listen to Angelina. She will stagger you (as she did here at 12yo) with her ability to find and bring forth the 'essence', the emotional message of nearly any song. You have far to go with Angelina. She is equally comfortable and equally able to impact us whether singing a cappella, accompanied only by a piano or guitar, in front of professional studio musicians or a 40 piece military band. With her immense vocal toolkit, arranging ability (yeah, that too, since about 8yo or so) and the work ethic to make what she does only 'seem' effortless, she will hopefully be touching hearts for a long time to come. Wait until you find out why she performs barefooted.
Why God has performed the miracle of touching the world with one of such talent, musical IQ, commitment, and generosity as Angelina we can wonder but we must all marvel. Welcome aboard the AJ train! Please react to more of her impressive library.
I know this won't be the last time you cry after listening to Angelina sing. It is a frequent reaction to her incredible ability to convey feelings with her songs. There is no lack of songs that will blow you away that she sings, and no lack of eras, from modern pop to 1950 classics. She does them all and all perfect.
Then add to her singing. Every time she look to the left to check the lyrics. So, unbeliveble
Harri. It never changes for me. Angelina; Angelina, Angelinal.
SHe continues to put a spell on me
Wonderful and sincere reaction.
It's amazing she is reading the lyrics and it takes nothing away from her performance.
No one puts forth the emotion she does and she does all her arraignments.
Yay, Angelina! This is a slippery slope and I hope you enjoy every minute of it.😎😎😎😎
Amongst the hopeless times we live through where it is natural to wonder whether human beings deserve to exist there comes this pure being that shows us what can be . Hope goes on for humanity.
Oh, man, you're in trouble. You've just tasted the fruit of the gods and there is no antidote. Angelina is perhaps the finest vocal artist in the world today, and now she is just 15.
When she sang this Adele cover she was 12 years old and already a seasoned professional, having won Norway's Got Talent at age 8! I will not overload you with information but give you the great news: she has over 135 wonderful covers and originals on YT. And, for your (understandably mute) reactions, you will be rewarded with thousands of loyal fans subscribing to your channel. She has an intriguing history, and I'm sure the regulars will fill you in. I have to listen to Angie every day for my sanity.
She touched you, you're spelled now, Just like she did to me and a lot of others. Within a few day's, you will be addicted 🤭
Welcome to AJ's world. You still have many more chances to be speechless.
Angelina Jordan can be a shock, you see the young girl, but when she sings, it's not possible to understand where the voice comes from. She is 12 years old here, having recently moved to California from Norway. I have subscribed to your channel in the hope that you will continue to discover more of Angelina's performances. I have looked at the artists you have covered, it looks like you have come to the right place. I see Elvis, Queen - just these two gives you lots of choices from Angelina's songs. In 2019 (when she was 13 years old), for the 2020 season of America's Got Talent the Champions, Angelina made a radical new arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody, for which she got the golden buzzer. That one you really have to see. Just think of Freddie Mercury doing jazz! There are a few Elvis songs that she covers really well, but we can get into that later. Her roots are firmly planted in Jazz, Billie Holiday, Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, Amy Winehouse. She also does Blues, Soul, Country - a very versatile performer, she has done some shockingly good covers and also has a few originals. Sorry for the long comments, you have lots of reading to do, but I hope that you will enjoy the journey down this long and winding road (oh yes she has covered the Beatles too).
I keep coming back to share your reaction to this song. It is so touching, and I have the same experience as you demonstrate. It feels good to stir ones soul.
The world needs to treasure this amazing girl!!!🤩🤩🥰🥰
So Harri. I misspelled your name. Angelina is a true blessing.
She got you.... she got me too.... and I'm never leaving. When you find something truly beautiful in life, you never let it go.... :-)
There is so much more ... Her heart is as big, warm and special ... as her voice ... If you give her a chance, she will fill your heart with love through the music and the most beautiful instrument she has ... the voice ❤ she is still young (15) but only in age, her soul is old..... you will understand if you continue to listen to what she has done 💕 Stay safe 🥰
If you really want to wash your eyes out...Enjoy her B/W studio version of Million Miles. A song she wrote for her grandfather that passed away. The first real pain she's had over losing a loved one. Just her, a piano and a cello.. you can feel and see the pain as she sings and it hits you hard.
db Million Miles was a tribute to her maternal grandfather who passed away in November 2019. This was not her first loss of a loved one. In March 2018 she lost her paternal grandfather whom she was very close to, and then a month later her friend Avicii committed suicide.
Welcome to the world of Angelina. You will be surprised at all that she does, how beautiful her voice is and on top of that she is a beautiful soul. I look forward to sharing your journey. Lovely review 💕
Buddy, your going to shed a lot more tears. She has made many a grown man cry. Angelina fans know exactly what your experiencing right now, because we've all gone through the same thing. Stuned, is one of the many emotions you'll feel. Don't stop now, join us in this spiritual journey. React to her and tell us how you feel.
She made me smiled and feel that feeling of music is ageless and her voice is transcendent, soul touching. There's an old wise soul in that little girl and she's touching a lot of people. Love enchantment miracle angelic and kindness beauty and something we can't put words into that stream of ancient and new feelings, longings and being alive! I'm so grateful that I stumbled upon Angelina's singing, its like finding a cosmic spirit, a star visiting us, offering her gifts to us.
❤️❤️Welcome to Angelina’s world. She’s a miracle and a blessing
My recommendation for your next Angelina song? Anything-and you can start at age 7 (Gloomy Sunday) or now at 15 (All I Ask)- or the 100+ in between. She is the best singer I’ve ever heard, and that goes across many styles and genres. You’re hooked, but it will be the most beautiful addiction of your life.
... kind of an emotional shock, to start with this one. This is a more or less normal reaction on her. Here she was 12. Now she is 15. Angelina is very special. She won Norway's Got Talent in the age of 7/8 covering Billy Holiday, Nancy Sinatra and Gershwin. She has originals too. So welcome at the universe of Angelina Jordan Astar. (her full name, seriously) She's got something magic. Therfore she put a spell on us, to make us angels (how she calls her fans) So if you don't want to be enchanted, don't listen to "I Put A Spell On You", black and white studio version. This attack she launched in the age of 9. Already in style...
Welcome to the World of the most beautiful soulful voice EVER! Angelina Jordan, norwegian talent champion in 2014 at the age of...8. Today she's 15, has 130+ covers of most famous singers of all time, specializing in jazz,but can sing all genres perfectly except hip hop or rap. But who knows? Watch her performance on AGT of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody in Jan 2020. I won't say more, because there's so much to be said about this prodigy.
You said such beautiful things about our angel and well deserved. Please continue your journey. Great reaction
Thank you so much!
It's almost like "God" said. I gave these great artist the ability to write these songs for you, Angelina, now go perform them.
I think she was just barely 15 at the time she recorded this. It is an original. And her voice is beyond description. She will make your eyes tear up listening to her voice. Chasing her covers and originals, will cause many reactions to her voice.
She was barely 12.
This is an Adele cover.
This is Popeye, listen to her other 127 covers and 5 originals! Welcome to the AJ rabbit hole, your in for a blessed journey! God Bless!
What a joy to listen to Angelina. If you were not overwhelmed by listening to her you would have a heart of stone. Her emotions in her songs are simply pure and raw, things she cannot possibly have experienced. Such a God given talent. Please listen and react to many more, you will be delighted, as we all are 💕💕💕
Angelinas voice has a way of crying out, begging us to understand how she feels and what she is going through. It is penetrating and sings to our souls!!
You have just discovered a real prodigy, many say reincarnation of past vocal masters. Lots of her covers equal or better the original, drawing out emotion and meaning like you didn't notice before. Sounds like you will enjoy reacting to her many times over. Having grown to love the work she does I've been listening to few other singers these last three years. Welcome to her world!
I have never felt the emotion that I feel when I listen to her from any other music
