On your 'This is a Man's World' reaction I asked the Angels to help get you to 1000. Done in one day and well deserved. We support you so please keep reacting to our Angel. Simply The Greatest Performance Ever by The Greatest of all Time. 9 years old and doing her own arrangements. Simply mind blowing.
Now that's what i call a R E A C T I O N , bloody awesome. I loved it Lady Luck, that was wonderful, thank you. loved it that much, going back for seconds, then i'm going to look op Ma Rainey
For anyone interested, Angelina is appearing in concert in Kurbadhagen, Sandefjord, in Norway in July. The first concert is already sold out but an extra concert has been arranged for July 10th. The tickets go on sale in about 2 hours at 12.00 CET on 14th February. Warning, it’s an all standing event.
Ohh gush! Thanks! Tried to find where to buy but failed. Events in city sold her first concert but No info about the second. Please givetvis me a link! PS subscribed to u'r channel a long time!
@@poolhallshark, I am SERIOUSLY jealous. I'm curious, how much are tickets going for? I need to start putting some money back just incase she would ever happen to have a concert somewhere in my area.
@@musicluvr70 Lol. Thanks - I guess :-) Here in Norway the sell at 61 USD a piece. So I'll bring my wife, my son and his girlfriend. Looking extremely forward to it :-)
Lady luck I am 69 years old, so I’ve been around for a little while and I’ve heard them all including Ma, Billy, and all the rest and I can honestly say that any and all of them would be honored and starstruck to perform with Angelina if they had experienced her. We in the here and now are so privileged to be blessed with this once in 100 or 200+ years talent that comes along so rarely. I feel this is no exaggeration whatsoever. We should not miss out enjoying her while she is here.
Hey Ms Luck now you've seen her potential at 9 so just think what is locked inside at 16 years old now. What we see now is just a taste of what is to come once she unleashes her voice upon the world when school is finished ofcourse.
Angelina Jordan is OUT OF THIS WORLD STUNNING and UNIQUE. This is why i,m so happy she,s one of my TRIPLE AAA ARTISTS. The other two are the AMAZING ONE OF A KIND very young classical and cross over Singer Amira Willighagen ,listen for example to her " la Vergine Degli Angeli version. She Will blow your socks off, and the very young WONDERFULL violinist, pianist and composer Alma Deutcher. At 8 years Young she already wrote her first opera for a HUGE orchestra. I know i know, there are many more REALLY COOL and AWESOME talents World wide, but these 3 for me are the Cherry,s on the cakes ,all 3 in their own field .
I’ve watched almost all of the reactors and here’s what some have said - “ Angelina was sent from God” “Reincarnated” someone said “ After listening to Angelina someone got healed” 🌀🌀🌀
I have watched about a bazillion reactions to this performance and I don't believe anyone has ever mentioned Ma Rainey, who I am not familiar with at all. However, I can attest to the fact that you are not the first reactor to think the girl has swallowed the talent of quite a few pace setters who have come before her.
Her grandmother played blues and jazz music since she was little and that together with the type of voice she has is what produces this prodigy. It is one of the reasons why her grandmother comes out so much in her videos, she is very close to her and is always with her.
I don't know why they are, but wish the comments weren't turned off on some of the reactions. Edit: By the way Angelina was 8 when she did My Funny Valentine, but 9 for this one.
I've been watching your previous AJ reactions and the only thing that can make them better: put yerself in the Big Window and let the artist occupy the smaller one... maybe even fog them or make them 20% transparent to avoid copyright issues... we're here to see YOU, remember.
Congratulation your now get official spelled by Angelina. Now you got the right to call you "Angele" ;) Angelina wrote the musical setup by herself by turning 9 in cooperation with her band that real impressive ; ) Enjoy best Chris
Whether the age here was 8 or 9, you have to take into account the fact that she actually arranged this herself, having the orchestra so impressed they referred to her as 'The Boss'. Forget the 'Screamin' Jay Hawkin's version, for she takes this to a different level of complexity and overall presentation. If you didn't view the video, there's no way you would believe the singer was this young.
This was the first song I herald from Angelina. It was a RUclips recommendation. I thought let me give it a listen. It blew my mind. I watched how you reacted to her finish. I felt the same way. I think all the jazz greats have inhabited her soul like you said. I am amazed how people still have not discovered her.
I'm glad I'm able to share her music with everyone! Hopefully more reactors can creatively bring attention to her music! She's definitely Lady Luck certified with her Umami music!
Hi LL. that was a super fun & great reaction to 9 yo Angie. Angie was 9 yo & 2 months old when this was filmed by her grandma Mery. It was released a year later. Just like the "Fly me to the moon" acoustic version you saw at the end of Angie video. On “I put a spell on you” Angie said it in an interview a year later (when she was around 10 at interview) about this song: “It means love Desperate love. It's very special, it's almost voodoo. The original is very nice, and when I scream it is a desperate cry that everyone should love each other.” -AJ. Angie watched the original of this song by Screaming Jay Hawkins from 1956 (the guy on the candle) A year later at 10, she would sing the demo, "I'm still holding out for you". These are all (Angie’s channels) so far. (Please cut & paste) I don't know if you know but Angie has 3 YT channels plus other channels.

@My_Time: Hope you don't mind a small but important correction ... this was not filmed by grandma Mery ... Per Heimly, a well-known Norwegian photographer, directed it. I've never seen the actual cinematographer credited. Mery did film the 'desert with horse' acoustic version of FMTTM you mention, a year later when Angelina was 10. The final sequence showing Angelina framed in silhouette against the moon, was also used in the fan-made video that appeared with the 'leaked' demo of Baby Fuzz' 'I'm Still Holding Out For You', also recorded when Angelina was aged 10. R (Australia)
I grew up in the 60's and 70's and I heard many of the great singers that people still honor till this day and I can honestly say that Angelina Jordan is right there with the best of them. If she was able to display all of that at the age of 9,the sky's the limit. I think the ultimate compliment was that of Quincy Jones,who said,Angelina Jordan was the best child performer he'd seen since Michael Jackson.
Thank you for reacting to this masterpiece performance by the 9 years old Barefoot Angel. When you start singing at 1.5 yo like Angelina, you become a living legend at the age of 9. You know how blessed we are that she will be giving us gifts after gifts for many decades to come.
She tours and has made millions for charity. I'm not sure if you know why she sings barefoot. She meet a young girl her age who was selling trinkets or something for a living on the street and had no shoe's. She struck up a conversation and asked what she would like to be when she grew up. The girl replied a Doctor, but didn't think she would make it. Angelina gave her, her shoes and has vowed to sing barefoot till all children have shoes. I believe she speaks other languages as she sang a number of her covers in Japanese when touring Japan. And as she plays numerous instruments besides piano I wouldn't rule anything language wise where she is concerned.
This performance is what legends are made off hehe :The world will never see an hear an 9 year old girl sing like that again.If YT had an hall of fame this one would be in it ; ))
I hadn't thought of Ma Rainey, but, yeah, I can hear that. Vocal coach / voice teacher Valerie White Williams of Vocal Splendor Studios said in her reaction to this performance that she was reminded of Bessie Smith (1894-1937), which is definitely along the same lines as Ma Rainey (1886-1939). (Interestingly, Bessie actually started out as a dancer in the same touring company that Ma Rainey was singing with.) They were both singing and recording blues at the very dawn of recorded popular music (early 1920s). I would imagine that the "shouting" style of both was influenced at least somewhat by the limitations of the audio technology of the time. Here, a 9-year-old Norwegian girl in a 21st century recording studio could be channeling either one (in addition to the original writer and singer of the song, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, of course). People like to bring up reincarnation when they talk about Angelina, and many have said that she has an "old soul". The problem is, both ideas imply that only one soul has been reborn in a new body. Angelina seems to have *all* the legends of the past within her. (You came really close to saying the same thing when you said, "Billie Holiday, Lena Horne, and Etta James live in her throat rent free".) Or, as I once put it in a slightly more "secular" way (?), "Maybe she's not a reincarnation at all. Maybe she is, in fact, the _incarnation_ of something universal that every great singer of the past has tapped into." 🤔
Maybe so! But I do know that she has the ability to invoke the sound of all of those vocal artists in one song and execute it perfectly!!!!🤩👍 Umami music!
Angelina is the Souls of Etha, Billie, Dinah and Amy in her, to giving us a magical trip for best blues an jazz melodies yesterday and today..! Thanks Lady Luck..!
Angelina was 9 years old in this performance - Her nationality is Norwegian but is fluent in English even at this age - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the arrangement based after listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version - in fact, at the beginning of the video you see Angelina writing down some last-minute changes and it is read by the bandleader. You also notice that her own handwritten notes are on the music stand in front of her as she sings. For more insight on how Angelina works, here is a rehearsal video with the same band at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and gives them some instructions. There are English subtitles as the spoken language is Norwegian: ruclips.net/video/SAkZDAXJA4E/видео.html
@Robert_Silva: Thanks for recommending the audio enhanced, video stabilised and English subtitled version of this, an extended glimpse of Angelina at work on another Hawkins song around the same time as she recorded her epic IPASOY. Other commentators who claim to know the band members by name have said only two of this ensemble also played on 'Spell' ... certainly the pianist is recognisable! R (Australia)
Lady luck I know how you feel. Everyone feels the same way and says the same thing. How? It's not just the quality of her voice. She sings with an emotional sincerity, and especially at 8 years old, that requires a person to have lived through life's experiences to gain that perspective. But we know with her age that's impossible to have happen. So, I reach for explanations. Some say she's not of this world jokingly. I say reincarnation or possession in a nice way of course.
Excellent reaction and she was 9 years and 2 months old in this one. She had been singing with these musicians for a while and they referred to her as "Boss". She is the Prodigy of the Century. There are a lot of Prodigy's out there, but she is top tear in my book, God Bless!
I appreciate your analysis. Good work! This is truly "girlpower"! Angelina, 9 yo, sings in English! That's her THIRD, of a total of 5-6 language. You know she's from Norway. There, everyone speaks Norwegian. From the age of 6, Angelina READ WRITE and sing English texts and understand what everything means! She is amazing in many ways.
It is truly a conundrum when we try to rationalize how it is possible that this tiny sweet-faced 9yo Norwegian girl (yes, she is 9yo here, not 8, as if that somehow explains anything!) can step up to a microphone, flip some switch within her, become this "beast-mode" version of herself (most probably named "AJ don't play"), deliver an extraordinary and musically and socially sophisticated performance, then just-like-that return to the pensive young lady once again... There aren't words for this! "I Put a Spell On You" has been covered many times and is recognized as a classic, yet almost never is the tone of the original 1956 "Screamin" Jay Hawkins version captured. This is because Hawkins was the original shock-rock guy (think Ozzy Osbourne type craziness) and his style is difficult to emulate and also because his dated delivery is uncomfortable and stereotypical to our modern sensibilities. Yet Angelina respectfully sings his own song in a manner that exceeds his (Hawkin's image is on the candle she holds at the start of her video). You must go and listen to Hawkins' original (and throw in a couple of "famous" covers as well) to see the true genius in how AJ incorporates many of his vocal elements [usually omitted by most singers]. This shows another aspect of her musical IQ and arranging genius (not to mention her masterful control of her vocal instrument equaled by few others regardless of age). "Screamin" Jay Hawkins original "I put A Spell on You" ruclips.net/video/orNpH6iyokI/видео.html
"She knows what she is doing!" Yes, Lady Luck, while your kid is learning 'Happy Birthday' Angelina is the lead singer for a jazz band. After watching this several hundred times you would get to know every moment, every sound, every movement and remain in shock every time! One of my favorite moments is at the very end. After she closes out the song with that long beautiful note, she lifts her right arm up onto a ledge and the look on her face indicates she is already reflecting on what she just did and is wondering if it was okay. "Mommy, can I sing like Angelina?" "Well, son, you will have to work on 'Happy Birthday' a little more and then we'll see. Okay? Now, go play with your toys."
Your enthusiasm is what all us angels like to hear from a reaction to Angelina this is what we all know to be true about her, it's so nice to see someone else who shares the same enthusiasm. NOW all we need is for the rest of the world that doesn't know of her to hear what they've been missing!
I think you would really get a kick out of watching a 10 yr old Angelina during a jam session with some amazing jazz musicians. She does a rendition of Screamin' Jay Hawkins ( I put a spell on you) , "Portrait of a child( ENHANCED VERSION)" ,Which was originally titled, Portrait of Man. A great behind the scenes look at just how knowledgeable Angelina is.
Considering the amount of time it'd take to gather the band, gather the video-equipment and personnel... then the recording studio and all of those folks. Plus the financing for this video! I'll bet it took more than 2 months, and she and ALL PARTIES INVOLVED had to agree to do THIS song. Then rehearsals. Trials. What to use. Get her Grandmother in-studio, too... the same grandmother that will do artwork in some videos, make AJ's 'costumes' like the colorful outfit for AGT's BOHEMIAN-! Yeah, I'll bet she was at the end of her 8th Year when this production started to take shape.
Aah naw Ollie Angelina works at a faster pace than that. You underestimate her child prodigy powers. She writes arranges, plays piano, guitar, flute and violin. Those men call her the Boss. She will correct an entire orchestra if she has to in the most polite way but she is 💯 professional. In time she will be addresses as Queen.
Lady Luck, I absolutely LOVE your reactions to our Barefoot Princess. To me, this is what a "reaction" video should be like. I'm not sure if anyone else has mentioned it, but the band 'affectionately' refers to Angelina as "The Boss", because she knows exactly what she wants and how she wants it done. I will be here for all of you Angelina reactions. Well done!! 💖
Wow. Your reaction was top class. Your facial reactions were laugh out loud. This video is the epitome of class and shows from a young age how much a master of music she is. At the beginning of the video you see her arranging the music and hand it to the musicians. Now at 8, that is reincarnation. How can she know how to do this. I believe she is a musical genius and will be known worldwide in years to come. Thank you so so much again for your reaction. Best wishes, health and happiness from the UK. Sharon. Xxx
I've been waiting for you to do this one since your first reaction, and you did not disappoint! Angelina did such a wonderful and amazing rendition of this classic, while still being so respectful to the original artist. Yeah, Angelina is undoubtedly a gift from above, heaven, God, the universe, take your pick!
You have just witnessed Angie's most viral video of her earlier years. I believe it is also the most profound performance ever recorded by a 9-year-old! As you said, true jazz and Blues. You should check out the original by Screamin Jay Hawkins. His picture was on the mug at the beginning of the video. You may have seen Angelina hand the director a sheet of paper at the beginning. Those were her directions for the arrangement! And of course, she performed it barefoot. Great job Lady Luck.
One of the very VERY BEST reviews. ANGELINA IS A GODDESS GENIUS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
She has an old soul.
On your 'This is a Man's World' reaction I asked the Angels to help get you to 1000.
Done in one day and well deserved. We support you so please keep reacting to our Angel.
Simply The Greatest Performance Ever by The Greatest of all Time.
9 years old and doing her own arrangements. Simply mind blowing.

Edit: By the way Angelina was 8 when she did My Funny Valentine, but 9 for this one.
She isn't human she is an angel. Many of us are sure of it. And I say she is a precursor angel to the next coming of Christ as is dimash.
9 going on 50 in BEAST mode.
Love your show !!
Thank you!
She is from the planet Angelina she's here and has lots and lots of angels 😇 wild bill from Worcester mass 😎🤩👍

Another awesome reaction.you are most definitely an angel.keep up the fab work.love from Scotland xxx
I love your reaction because you put into words what l feel. Thanks. Im going to look up Ma Rainey.
I like your style. And I agree she is very special.
One thing I think we miss is that Angelina brings different generations together!!
Angelina is 9 and two months old if it changes anything and not 8 years old 🤣 🗣🎙👑
Yeah. The surprising thing is that she continues to shock long time fans like me with her spectacular skills.
Thank you so much for telling me 'bout Ma Rainey...
👍😁👍

I knew Angelina would blow your socks off ❤
there she was 9 years and 2 months

She is simply the best! 🤩🤩🤩
Eight or nine runs together she's phenomenal at whatever her age number is.

Guess I didn’t know what I was looking to find, because I listened to half a dozen Ma Rainey songs and did not hear the growl.
listen again
LOL, she started singing at 1-1/2, her Grandmother raised her on Billy, Ella, Dinah, Gerswwin etc...
She tours and has made millions for charity. I'm not sure if you know why she sings barefoot. She meet a young girl her age who was selling trinkets or something for a living on the street and had no shoe's. She struck up a conversation and asked what she would like to be when she grew up.

Even though I am running late, I just had to come here and watch YOUR reaction to THIS
Thank you!
Not too bad for a 9yo ;-)
Omg I 💕 you girl
My favorite artist Angelina and her gift of a voice. Oooomommy, what a reaction! Thumbs up Lady Luck, wonderful reaction.

Angelina seems to have *all* the legends of the past within her. (You came really close to saying the same thing when you said, "Billie Holiday, Lena Horne, and Etta James live in her throat rent free".) Or, as I once put it in a slightly more "secular" way (?), "Maybe she's not a reincarnation at all. Maybe she is, in fact, the _incarnation_ of something universal that every great singer of the past has tapped into." 🤔
Maybe so! But I do know that she has the ability to invoke the sound of all of those vocal artists in one song and execute it perfectly!!!!🤩👍 Umami music!
Angelina is the Souls of Etha, Billie, Dinah and Amy in her, to giving us a magical trip for best blues an jazz melodies yesterday and today..! Thanks Lady Luck..!
Loved your reaction. She is outstanding. Gid bless you and AJ. 🌺🙏
God
Angelina was 9 years old in this performance - Her nationality is Norwegian but is fluent in English even at this age - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the arrangement based after listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version - in fact, at the beginning of the video you see Angelina writing down some last-minute changes and it is read by the bandleader. You also notice that her own handwritten notes are on the music stand in front of her as she sings. For more insight on how Angelina works, here is a rehearsal video with the same band at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and gives them some instructions. There are English subtitles as the spoken language is Norwegian: ruclips.net/video/SAkZDAXJA4E/видео.html
Yes, her hand written wishes, The Boss!
@Robert_Silva: Thanks for recommending the audio enhanced, video stabilised and English subtitled version of this, an extended glimpse of Angelina at work on another Hawkins song around the same time as she recorded her epic IPASOY. Other commentators who claim to know the band members by name have said only two of this ensemble also played on 'Spell' ... certainly the pianist is recognisable! R (Australia)
Is a Prodigy Child ( perdón por mí mal inglés) how Many souls there are in her? Es sobrehumana!!!
I counted 3 in her throat! Lol! 🤣🤣
No you cant learn that!!! Blues comes from deep inside the soul !!!
ABSOLUTE SALUTE TO SCREAMIN JAY HAWKINS, BEST VERSION I'VE EVER HEARD AND THAT INCLUDES CCR AND THEY USED TO BE MY FAVORITE VERSION🤔
Lady luck I know how you feel. Everyone feels the same way and says the same thing. How? It's not just the quality of her voice. She sings with an emotional sincerity, and especially at 8 years old, that requires a person to have lived through life's experiences to gain that perspective. But we know with her age that's impossible to have happen. So, I reach for explanations. Some say she's not of this world jokingly. I say reincarnation or possession in a nice way of course.
AJ in beast mode
Excellent reaction and she was 9 years and 2 months old in this one. She had been singing with these musicians for a while and they referred to her as "Boss". She is the Prodigy of the Century. There are a lot of Prodigy's out there, but she is top tear in my book, God Bless!
Oh and Angelina well she is just the best period
I appreciate your analysis. Good work! This is truly "girlpower"! Angelina, 9 yo, sings in English! That's her THIRD, of a total of 5-6 language. You know she's from Norway. There, everyone speaks Norwegian. From the age of 6, Angelina READ WRITE and sing English texts and understand what everything means! She is amazing in many ways.
It is truly a conundrum when we try to rationalize how it is possible that this tiny sweet-faced 9yo Norwegian girl (yes, she is 9yo here, not 8, as if that somehow explains anything!) can step up to a microphone, flip some switch within her, become this "beast-mode" version of herself (most probably named "AJ don't play"), deliver an extraordinary and musically and socially sophisticated performance, then just-like-that return to the pensive young lady once again... There aren't words for this!
"I Put a Spell On You" has been covered many times and is recognized as a classic, yet almost never is the tone of the original 1956 "Screamin" Jay Hawkins version captured. This is because Hawkins was the original shock-rock guy (think Ozzy Osbourne type craziness) and his style is difficult to emulate and also because his dated delivery is uncomfortable and stereotypical to our modern sensibilities. Yet Angelina respectfully sings his own song in a manner that exceeds his (Hawkin's image is on the candle she holds at the start of her video).
You must go and listen to Hawkins' original (and throw in a couple of "famous" covers as well) to see the true genius in how AJ incorporates many of his vocal elements [usually omitted by most singers]. This shows another aspect of her musical IQ and arranging genius (not to mention her masterful control of her vocal instrument equaled by few others regardless of age).

"She knows what she is doing!" Yes, Lady Luck, while your kid is learning 'Happy Birthday' Angelina is the lead singer for a jazz band.
After watching this several hundred times you would get to know every moment, every sound, every movement and remain in shock every time! One of my favorite moments is at the very end. After she closes out the song with that long beautiful note, she lifts her right arm up onto a ledge and the look on her face indicates she is already reflecting on what she just did and is wondering if it was okay.
"Mommy, can I sing like Angelina?" "Well, son, you will have to work on 'Happy Birthday' a little more and then we'll see. Okay? Now, go play with your toys."
🤣🤣🤣👏👏
Your enthusiasm is what all us angels like to hear from a reaction to Angelina this is what we all know to be true about her, it's so nice to see someone else who shares the same enthusiasm. NOW all we need is for the rest of the world that doesn't know of her to hear what they've been missing!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Frank Sinatra's fly me to the moon on the program the view xo
I did a reaction to that performance. Please check it out when you have time! Thank you!🤩👍
Enjoyed your reaction! Thanks for the introduction to Ma Rainey.
Sometime in the near future, Angelina travels back in time and inspires all the greatest vocalists😀.
I think you would really get a kick out of watching a 10 yr old Angelina during a jam session with some amazing jazz musicians. She does a rendition of Screamin' Jay Hawkins ( I put a spell on you) , "Portrait of a child( ENHANCED VERSION)" ,Which was originally titled, Portrait of Man. A great behind the scenes look at just how knowledgeable Angelina is.
Angelina was also 9 years old in the jam you are referring to - see my comment.
@@robertsilva631 I always seem to be a year off....LOL!
A prodigy has arrived.
Considering the amount of time it'd take to gather the band, gather the video-equipment and personnel... then the recording studio and all of those folks. Plus the financing for this video! I'll bet it took more than 2 months, and she and ALL PARTIES INVOLVED had to agree to do THIS song. Then rehearsals. Trials. What to use. Get her Grandmother in-studio, too... the same grandmother that will do artwork in some videos, make AJ's 'costumes' like the colorful outfit for AGT's BOHEMIAN-! Yeah, I'll bet she was at the end of her 8th Year when this production started to take shape.
Aah naw Ollie Angelina works at a faster pace than that. You underestimate her child prodigy powers. She writes arranges, plays piano, guitar, flute and violin. Those men call her the Boss. She will correct an entire orchestra if she has to in the most polite way but she is 💯 professional. In time she will be addresses as Queen.
Please react wicked game angelina.
Finally, I was waiting for your reactions about this performance 🤩
Lady Luck, I absolutely LOVE your reactions to our Barefoot Princess. To me, this is what a "reaction" video should be like. I'm not sure if anyone else has mentioned it, but the band 'affectionately' refers to Angelina as "The Boss", because she knows exactly what she wants and how she wants it done.
I will be here for all of you Angelina reactions. Well done!! 💖
Ikr!#go girl! Sing it!💪💖👍🙂
Love your reactions! You know brilliance when you here it!
Wow. Your reaction was top class. Your facial reactions were laugh out loud. This video is the epitome of class and shows from a young age how much a master of music she is.
At the beginning of the video you see her arranging the music and hand it to the musicians. Now at 8, that is reincarnation. How can she know how to do this. I believe she is a musical genius and will be known worldwide in years to come.
Thank you so so much again for your reaction. Best wishes, health and happiness from the UK. Sharon. Xxx
I've been waiting for you to do this one since your first reaction, and you did not disappoint! Angelina did such a wonderful and amazing rendition of this classic, while still being so respectful to the original artist. Yeah, Angelina is undoubtedly a gift from above, heaven, God, the universe, take your pick!
You have just witnessed Angie's most viral video of her earlier years. I believe it is also the most profound performance ever recorded by a 9-year-old! As you said, true jazz and Blues. You should check out the original by Screamin Jay Hawkins. His picture was on the mug at the beginning of the video. You may have seen Angelina hand the director a sheet of paper at the beginning. Those were her directions for the arrangement! And of course, she performed it barefoot. Great job Lady Luck.
❤️
I am going to look up MA Rainey if spelled right ✅😏
Yep... you got it!
You. Kinase me lose my breakfast when you said “I can’t even get my kid to sing happy birthday” great stuff. Keep up the awesome reactions!
Girl! Yo! have to react to her appearances on Denmark has talent! All of them! She has been listening to Billie since she was 18 months old.
I have a few reactions from the Norske Talenter. Is that the same competition show in Denmark?
