And in this one she is 9 years old!!! When she was asked when she was about 7 yrs old, “Angelina when did you begin to sing?” She thoughtfully answered “I was young...ahh one and a half.” I can’t get enough of her....she never stops to amaze. I love Adell....she’s great....but Angelina is a horse of a different color. Her talent is INSANE!!!
Creedence Clearwater Revival performed this in 1969 at Woodstock *young* man. ;o) Check out Angelina on Norway's got talent singing Gloomy Sunday when she was 7 y/o.
Check out the 9 year old prodigy, Amira Willenhagen’s audition on Holland’s Got Talent. Be sure to have the English subtitles because the judges comments are priceless…
There are so many talented kids that sing or play musical instruments with amazing ability. I enjoy their performances. I watched this video because I've never heard of this girl. I Expected to see another young talented performer, but witnessed a gifted vocal artist who took me on an emotional journey whether I wanted to or not. A cascade of unbelievable beauty so profound, so unique, and solely belonging to her. And she shared it with us!
Holy shit. How does a voice like this come out of a child? This is absolute art, from visuals to vocals. What an amazing young woman! This is what we need more of in mainstream!
At this time, her family was rock-solid on her having a normal childhood. She had won Norway Got Talent and numerous child-star exploiting entities (including Disney) came knocking on the door - but were all turned down. You see, while Angelina is ethnically multi-cultural, she was raised in Norway, where raising a balanced child is more important that fame and fortune.
ANGELINA JORDAN ASTAR IS ONE OF A KIND....SHE IS NOT TRYING TO EMULATE ANYONE..... ANGELINA IS.... ANGELINA JORDAN ASTAR ✌🏼❤️🤗 PEACE LOVE HAPPINESS 🇺🇸🦅🌎✝️🇳🇮🌹🦋
This little girl doesn't just sing songs she paints them with a color loaded palit that's hard to compare, even her brush strokes need to be appreciated. She pulls you into a world with her voice that I call the Angelina Haze.
Agree 100% with everything you said! There's no way to find my own words! She is absolutely amazing! I can't be the only one with goosebumps! Bless this baby girls journey 💕
Masterful reaction Mr. L. As suggested in other comments, All of her performances at 7-8 years old on Norway's Got Talent are wonderful and you will see that early Jazz/Blues singing from a young child, a genius child. Her Grandma, Mery Zamani, a well known Iranian Artist exposed Angelina to Jazz music at a really young age and it is engrained in her. This rendition is amazing but all of her NGT performances are amazing also. Definitely worth your time.
Just two songs into Angelina's huge library now, and I think you can probably see why she has such a a strong fanbase. There's really nobody that compares to this girl, her versatility is something that really sets her on a special level, but it's something you won't fully understand until you see even more. As the saying goes, "real recognizes real"... I'm not even that real, and I can recognize that this kid is as real as it gets. You just can't fake it through what she does here. This is coming from deep within. Hope to see you check out more. She never disappoints. And I always try to leave this on everyone's first reaction to Angelina (I was late to your first, so you get it on your second)..... For those just discovering Angelina, here is a little bio so that you can learn a little more about her background and her kind and caring soul....... *Angelina Jordan* - Angelina Jordan was born Jan 10 2006 in Oslo, Norway. She is currently 15 - She began singing at the age of one and a half - At 2 or 3 she discovered Jazz through her grandmother and started studying all the greats from Jazz history with youtube videos. - *Why Angelina always sings barefoot* - When Angelina was 6 years old, she was traveling with her grandmother and met a poor girl with no shoes trying to make money on the streets. They talked for a while and discussed their dreams. It was cold and the girl had scars on her feet. Seeing this, Angelina took off her shoes and gave them to the girl. The girl thanked her and told Angelina she would pray for her every day. That day Angelina made a vow to always sing barefoot until all the children of the world could have shoes. To this day, whenever Angelina is performing in public, she sings barefoot as a way to remember that little girl and to remind us that there are less fortunate people in the world that could use our help. Angelina holds so true to this promise that she has sung outdoors in Norway, in december... barefoot. She has sung at a dinner with ex-pres Obama... barefoot. She went on AGT (possibly the biggest stage in the world)...barefoot. She made a promise at 6 years old, and has stuck strong to it for years. That takes a special kind of person. - She has always been the driving force behind her own singing career. It was her that asked her mother to take her to Norways Got Talent, where she auditioned at 7 years old and went on to win the whole show at just 8 years old. - In an interview after the show, when asked what she was going to do with the prize money, the 8 year old replied, "I would like to give it to orphans that need clothes and shoes" - When Angelina was 9 years old she became the youngest published author in Norway, when she wrote a book about the story of why she doesn't wear shoes when she sings. She donated proceeds from the sales of the book to help children in need. - The reason you may not have heard of her is because her parents are very protective of her childhood. After she won NGT, they did not want her to be thrust into stardom before she had a chance to grow up as a normal child, and get her education. They allowed her to do a few select shows (mainly private and charity events) with a couple public shows every year when she is out of school. Her mother said in an interview that they have turned down 90% of the offers that came in. Over the years since NGT, they have turned down offers from many major record labels and even disney. - Angelina has covered more than 130 songs and over 65 artists in the last 6 years. She always selects the songs herself... everything ranging from old classic jazz to modern pop. She is able to change her voice to match any song she sings and make it her own. (she can cover Amy Winehouse and Lana del Rey like nobody else) - Angelina has collaborated with some very big names over the last few years... Quincy Jones, Mark Ronson, David Foster, Alan Walker and many more. All of which heard her and were blown away by her talent. - Angelina has written four of her own original songs: "What is Life", "Shield", "Oslo", and "Million Miles" (all are amazing...all can be found on youtube) In summary, Angelina Jordan is destined to be one of the greatest singers to have ever lived. This is just my opinion, but if you listen closely to any of her stuff you will hear the greatness. She sings with a natural style. There is no acting, no showing off, there are no unnecessary runs, or big belty notes just for the purpose of saying "hey look at me sing". She once said "when I sing I go into a beautiful world in my head", and you can always hear the results of that. When Angelina sings it is pure soul, pure emotion, pure music. - Updates: On Aug 26, 2020 Angelina's Manager/Uncle announced in an interview that they have decided on Republic Records as the best fit for Angelina and she is now signed with them as their "highest priority new artist". On Nov 6 she released her first single under Republic... "Million Miles"! On March 19 2021 Angelina released her latest single "7th Heaven" She has done so much already, but at 15 she is just getting started!!!
You might want to update your info, Rusty and add a fifth song, "7th Heaven," to her originals. I'd also add Adele to the artists she covers like nobody else. Just a suggestion.
thanks for the bio very intresting story and shows she is a genuine good hearted person and i love to support these type of people!! this world really needs more people like that in it!!
Listen to Rusty, he has been stuck in the Angelina haze for a while now. This little girl doesn't just sing songs she paints them with a color loaded palit that's hard to compare, even her brush strokes need to be appreciated. She pulls you into a world with her voice that I call the Angelina Haze.
@@gary-white- Yes, someone pointed out that I hadn't added 7H to the list of originals and I will correct that in future postings :) It is at the end in the updates section.
@@josephgamble4561 Thank you for reading it :) I have posted this bio probably a few hundred times (conservative estimate) over the last couple years whenever a new reaction channel discovers Angelina. I always worry that people get tired of seeing me post it, but it's not really intended for the people that have seen it a hundred times. I do it for people like you. The people that are seeing her for the very first time on this video and know nothing else about her. I think her story and her character are a big part of what makes her so intriguing. So if posting my bio only catches the eye of one person every ten times I post it, then I am happy with that :)
God she makes this look easy . she's so calm , so confident timing is perfect , the voice the saas the rasp the growls the screams the squeal every thing just perfect
Can not get ENOUGH OF ANGELINA JORDAN ASTAR...THIS YOUNG LADY IS.. FREAKING PRICELESS.... ANGELINA...YOU BRING SO MANY Memories........You ARE ABSOLUTELY...MIND BOGGLING....I LOVE YOU...✌🏼❤️🤗 PEACE LOVE HAPPINESS 🇺🇸🦅🌎🇳🇮✝️....I HAVE INTRODUCED YOU TO MY GRANDCHILDREN....❤️U AND YOUR FAMILY... TELL YOUR GRANDMOTHER..I HAVE THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR HER N YOUR MOM AND DAD TOO....❤️U
Thanks for another good reaction to my favourite singer. She was only 9 years old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, an American singer/songwriter. He wrote and performed it in 1956 and Angelina based her performance on the original, although she did make some subtle alterations to both lyrics and melody. As you continue your journey of discovering Angelina, you will come to realise that she does her own arrangements of most of the cover songs she sings. The differences may not be immediately discernible on first listening to them, but they are there. There may be a subtle change in tempo or tone, or more inflexion on some words, or a phrase may differ in pitch from the original. The amount of control that Angelina has over her voice cannot be measured. She never hurries a song. She sings in such a way that the emotions in the lyrics are felt by the listener. In this video did you notice:Angelina finishing some notes and handing them to the musical director, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music. Then a brief glimpse of Mery Zamani, a well known and respected Iranian artist, who is also Angelina's maternal grandmother and the person who encouraged Angelina in her love of music, especially jazz. And then there is a shot of Angelina holding a candle upon which was an image of Screamin' Jay Hawkins. Lastly, if you had run the video to the end, you would have noticed how the "performing" Angelina, singing at a level of maturity far beyond her years, suddenly became a 9-year-old child almost instantaneously once she finished singing. From the time I first heard Angelina, way back at her first audition on Norway's Got Talent, she has amazed me.
One of the main reasons why ANGELina has a team of professional musicians around her, is due to her winning Norway's got Talent at age 9. Already after her audition, singing GLOOMY SUNDAY by Billie Holiday, she became a viral sensation. And had numerous perfomances with big bands, on Jazz festivals around Norway and the world. She's blessed with a great family that has supported her and protected her, so she's still allowed to be a child, inspite of her enormous talent. Thank you!
Wow, she's just a baby, a tiny little girl belting it out. Jaw dropping how technically good she is. I look forward to hearing her when she is older with life experience and deep emotion added to her already amazing performance. Her mom must be so proud of her,.
Pretty sure heaven watches future versions of Norway Got Talent and had a peek at Angelina getting ready to sing Billy Holiday cover. Then all the singing greats, Etta, Simone, Elvis, Lou Rawls, Amy, Frank, Michael etc who were watching in heaven and saw the future toothless, barefoot angelina and each put a little present in her soul before sending her to humanity. That sounds crazy and sane at the same time doesn't it? :)
When the record company, she, and the family push the button, she can not be ignored. But remember she is only 15 years old and still goes to school. This is something many people forget because she is so mature for her age.
9 years old and gives the director the wishes written down for this song. Listen to her at 7 on Norway's Got Talent, the beginning of the world discovering this incredible music genius.
Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤️💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤️💙 Whether you are a believer in reincarnation or not, I find it very intriguing that Lou Rawls, the American Jazz & blues singer legend, passed away only a few days before Angelina was born 😊 Loved your reaction!!!
10000000% GODDESS!!!!!! A GENIUS FOR THE AGES!!!!!!!!!!! THIS WHOLE THING : THE VIDEO THE BAND AND MOST OF ALL ANGELina have conspired to create one of the greatest works of art of the 21st century. Let’s time travel ahead a few hundred years and peeps will be as mesmerized by this as we are!!!! I’ve been an artist all my life and blessed to be around some of the greatest creatives alive and I put ANGELina at the top. She is that kind of special 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Angelina Jordan är helt klart amazing det är så man gråter när man hör denna lilla späda flicka Im put a spell on you på ett sätt som bara en stor stor talang kan utföra❤❤❤❤Hon måste komma från en annan värld 💥💯
Angelina portrays so much skill and quality even at that young age of nine. What an absolute treat to listen to and the clarity she put into that song was amazing. I really enjoyed your reaction and thank you
This is a mans world at age 12 yrs is brilliant too. Feelin good at 10 yrs. I’m a fool to want you age 7yrs. Choose a year any year, doesn’t matter....her voice is unmistakably unique and she is a delight to listen to. Enjoy.
@@patriciaart9685 yes and I absolutely love her voice and respect both her abilities and your preference, but AJ's unlimited fountain of vocal creativity since the age of 6, is beyond explanations. The fact that she has been in charge of the musical arrangements since at least 7 years old, is truly unbelievable. And her emotional interpretation to the point of bringing tears onto the listeners' eyes, is a heavenly gift... Need I say more?
The greatest musical prodigy in the last 300 years? 😂 You’re on crack. Yeah. She’s better than the likes of Mozart just because she has a good singing voice 😂😂😂😂😂
@@fezzik7619 I'm with you. I think a more reasonable conclusion is that she already has one of the best voices in the history of popular recorded music. Which is amazing, but not quite the same!
I'm a cranky old man who sometimes literally shaves with fire and she's one of a very few performers who easily bring tears to my eyes due to their ability to emote and innate technical genius. I've seen some rough rehearsal videos and such a young person was setting the arrangements and telling the band what to do. An Old Master soul housed in such a young package leaving a trail of gob-smacked victims like me in her sonic boom wake.
Angelina has over 650 Million Views on RUclips and over 2 Billion Views on Facebook overall on her videos, and over 600,000 followers on her Offical channel, 250,000 Instagram followers!
As everyone says...welcome to the world of the shoeless angel.. .the soulful siren that draws one down her rabbit hole with that velvety other worldly voice which steals ones heart with her breathy, raspy, melancholy enchantment.
Clarence good. I really don’t think rabbit hole is a good way to describe Angelinas whatever it is you are trying to describe. Angelina is referred to being an angel so I doubt a rabbit hole would be the right place for her.
Please don't call her a "siren"...I'm sure you didn't mean anything by it, but as a mom, I feel protective of her. There's a very adult connotation to the word "siren", and she's still a little girl.
If she were 33 with that voice I'd be traveling to her shows. There's something about blues and jazz that when done in just exactly the right way just smashes you. The fact she's 17 now and doing her exploration of classic pop stylings of her own lyrics is just great. She could sing nursery rhymes for her whole career and I'd pick her first when I needed a nursery rhyme. But when you think about her being 9 here it just makes me want to move house, or something. It's completely ridiculous her genius with her instrument. A musical and technical genius, unparalleled. There are no ornamentations that seem at all superfluous. Each one is integral to what she's saying. That alone puts her in the top 1%. The timing and choice of emphasis, the technique and tone shape control. The variations of vibrato, again, all integral to the composition. Bro, get the heck out!
This angel has a catalogue of over 135 songs for everyone’s listening pleasure. You have barely scratched the surface of what this unique and other worldly talent is capable of doing.
There is a word for this kind of experience: I call it 'iconic'. It touches on uncanny, once-in-a-lifetime, world-changing, divine and super-human. Angelina is all that and more.
An artist emerged about 9 years ago who defies tradition. Her followers seem to love her for all the non-traditional reasons. Of course, they love her voice and her style, but more than that they love “who” and “what she is. They love her character. Unlike so many idols today who are admired only for their performance skills, they adore and greatly respect this young lady’s humanity and charity from the earliest of ages. They adore her humility, and the love she expresses for her followers every single time, without fail, with a smile, and a wave. They love and appreciate that she has remained humble, ending a performance on stage with a smile and a small curtsy. They’re also proud of her, for honoring a pledge she made so many years ago, to this day. These are not the usual things one thinks about when stating why they like a particular artist. But then again Angelina Jordan Astar, or just Angie, isn’t just “any” artist.
Bless you, my son. You have now officially been baptized in the church of Angelina Jordan! I would say it doesn't get any better than that, but it really does. On the topic of microphones, for her 12th birthday on January 10, 2018, her family gave her a Neumann TLM 103 microphone. In any videos of her singing at home from 2018 on, she is using that mic. It picks up every little nuance of her voice. She used it in the "I'd Rather Go Blind" video you reacted to. If you want to hear something totally different from Angelina, react to "Every Time We Say Goodbye", the Cole Porter classic made famous by Ella Fitzgerald in 1956. It's just Angelina accompanied by a guitarist. They are on a TV2 Morning TV show in Oslo, Norway (her hometown), outside on the rooftop of the building. The sound quality is like it was recorded in a studio and the purity of her voice is simply astounding. You can thank me later!
The show is actually a summer-show, called God Sommer Norge, or "Have a Nice summer, Norway". It runs every evening through the summer! 👍 Regards, from Norway!
She arranged all the instruments, she is known as The Boss in the studio! And BTW she is always barefoot. In the studio, on stage wherever she sings. She feels the music in her feet and body. She is straight up perfect.
That isn't why she sings barefoot. While performing in Asia even before she won NGT, she gave her shoes to a homeless girl and has sinced performed barefeet to remind her of the less fortunate people in the world.
I like you honestly admirable reaction. ANGELINA JORDON THE BAREFOOT PRINCESS QUEEN OF JAZZ. KEEP GOING//// CHECK OUT ALL HER PERFORMANCES ON NORWAYS GOT TALENT AT 7, years old. Blow you away. Peace love friend ... stay safe 😘😘
Totally a perfect example to facilitate a belief in reincarnation. Her audition at 6 or 7 blasting out a difficult and soulful blues classic was gobsmacking. She absolutely nailed it!
I loved your reaction to the great 9 year old Angelina Jordan... You showed AJ, the band and the recording engineers and videographers a great deal of respect. Without their talents, the enjoyment wouldn't be there. Additionally, you are owed respect as well for how you put together your software and equipment for getting your reaction out for us to enjoy. Congratulations and best wishes for success in your channel...
Is she channeling his energy? I don’t think a better question has been asked before a reaction to this song. Wisdom. That’s why I like your reactions. Thank you.
She did at least two performances of this, and the video was cobbled together. It's exciting to realize she can be so drop-dead perfect at re-creating her vocals in two sessions, or else re-creating them close enough to the editors can piece-together this smooth-sounding and well-sync'd video. We're probably hearing the spit-shielded mike's version instead, which is more common for studio recordings. If/when you get to her most recent 7th HEAVEN (Live Studio) video, she is again using the Shure 55-type (or your version, the 70-B), but she's lowered it below her lip, and she's dropped the spit-producing F-sounds ("...friends" becomes an almost inaudible F "...riends" sound. "No Spit" on an unshielded 55/70. It's quite a mechanical lesson she's learned.
She sings the best version of Bang Bang I have ever heard and she was 7 yrs old. This child does all her arrangements of her back up musicians as well.
She writes the arrangement fir the band when she sings. That’s why you see her writing the arrangement before she sings. She’s only about 10 hrs old here.
Anytime I can listen to Angelina is a great day. I love people who are just starting out hearing, feeling her singing for the first few times. Looking at the camera gobsmacked, with an overload of brain activity....... disbelief, blanking for lack of words, are you kidding me? am I really hearing this? Maybe take a look at "It's a mans world" the live version with the military band. Unbelievable......

You should check out her rendition of "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road". It's amazing
And in this one she is 9 years old!!!

At this time, her family was rock-solid on her having a normal childhood. She had won Norway Got Talent and numerous child-star exploiting entities (including Disney) came knocking on the door - but were all turned down.

a true masterpiece
Wow! She makes you feel it!
She kills it. Every. Single. Time.
Right now she's the hottest artist turning songs into magic just amazing.
ANGELINA JORDAN ASTAR IS ONE OF A KIND....SHE IS NOT TRYING TO EMULATE ANYONE..... ANGELINA IS.... ANGELINA JORDAN ASTAR ✌🏼❤️🤗 PEACE LOVE HAPPINESS 🇺🇸🦅🌎✝️🇳🇮🌹🦋
This little girl doesn't just sing songs she paints them with a color loaded palit that's hard to compare, even her brush strokes need to be appreciated. She pulls you into a world with her voice that I call the Angelina Haze.
Her rendition of "Bang Bang" at barely 8 years old did that to me. Pulled me into another world. That's a good way to put it.
Agree 100% with everything you said! There's no way to find my own words! She is absolutely amazing! I can't be the only one with goosebumps!
Bless this baby girls journey 💕
Probably the very best recording session I ever listened to.

And I always try to leave this on everyone's first reaction to Angelina (I was late to your first, so you get it on your second).....
For those just discovering Angelina, here is a little bio so that you can learn a little more about her background and her kind and caring soul.......
*Angelina Jordan*
- Angelina Jordan was born Jan 10 2006 in Oslo, Norway. She is currently 15
- She began singing at the age of one and a half
- At 2 or 3 she discovered Jazz through her grandmother and started studying all the greats from Jazz history with youtube videos.
- *Why Angelina always sings barefoot* - When Angelina was 6 years old, she was traveling with her grandmother and met a poor girl with no shoes trying to make money on the streets. They talked for a while and discussed their dreams. It was cold and the girl had scars on her feet. Seeing this, Angelina took off her shoes and gave them to the girl. The girl thanked her and told Angelina she would pray for her every day. That day Angelina made a vow to always sing barefoot until all the children of the world could have shoes. To this day, whenever Angelina is performing in public, she sings barefoot as a way to remember that little girl and to remind us that there are less fortunate people in the world that could use our help.
Angelina holds so true to this promise that she has sung outdoors in Norway, in december... barefoot. She has sung at a dinner with ex-pres Obama... barefoot. She went on AGT (possibly the biggest stage in the world)...barefoot. She made a promise at 6 years old, and has stuck strong to it for years. That takes a special kind of person.
- She has always been the driving force behind her own singing career. It was her that asked her mother to take her to Norways Got Talent, where she auditioned at 7 years old and went on to win the whole show at just 8 years old.
- In an interview after the show, when asked what she was going to do with the prize money, the 8 year old replied, "I would like to give it to orphans that need clothes and shoes"
- When Angelina was 9 years old she became the youngest published author in Norway, when she wrote a book about the story of why she doesn't wear shoes when she sings. She donated proceeds from the sales of the book to help children in need.
- The reason you may not have heard of her is because her parents are very protective of her childhood. After she won NGT, they did not want her to be thrust into stardom before she had a chance to grow up as a normal child, and get her education. They allowed her to do a few select shows (mainly private and charity events) with a couple public shows every year when she is out of school. Her mother said in an interview that they have turned down 90% of the offers that came in. Over the years since NGT, they have turned down offers from many major record labels and even disney.
- Angelina has covered more than 130 songs and over 65 artists in the last 6 years. She always selects the songs herself... everything ranging from old classic jazz to modern pop. She is able to change her voice to match any song she sings and make it her own. (she can cover Amy Winehouse and Lana del Rey like nobody else)
- Angelina has collaborated with some very big names over the last few years... Quincy Jones, Mark Ronson, David Foster, Alan Walker and many more. All of which heard her and were blown away by her talent.
- Angelina has written four of her own original songs: "What is Life", "Shield", "Oslo", and "Million Miles" (all are amazing...all can be found on youtube)
In summary, Angelina Jordan is destined to be one of the greatest singers to have ever lived. This is just my opinion, but if you listen closely to any of her stuff you will hear the greatness. She sings with a natural style. There is no acting, no showing off, there are no unnecessary runs, or big belty notes just for the purpose of saying "hey look at me sing". She once said "when I sing I go into a beautiful world in my head", and you can always hear the results of that. When Angelina sings it is pure soul, pure emotion, pure music.

On Nov 6 she released her first single under Republic... "Million Miles"!

I just discovered Angelina Jordan about 4 days ago, she's unbelievable, she put a spell on me !
Amo su interpretación con el sentimiento y la pasión que pone, es un alma vieja!! Su capacidad vocal es indiscutible y sorprendente!! 🙌
She sings The Yellow Brick Road, excellent!!
Thanks for another good reaction to my favourite singer. She was only 9 years old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, an American singer/songwriter. He wrote and performed it in 1956 and Angelina based her performance on the original, although she did make some subtle alterations to both lyrics and melody.
As you continue your journey of discovering Angelina, you will come to realise that she does her own arrangements of most of the cover songs she sings. The differences may not be immediately discernible on first listening to them, but they are there. There may be a subtle change in tempo or tone, or more inflexion on some words, or a phrase may differ in pitch from the original. The amount of control that Angelina has over her voice cannot be measured. She never hurries a song. She sings in such a way that the emotions in the lyrics are felt by the listener.
In this video did you notice:Angelina finishing some notes and handing them to the musical director, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music. Then a brief glimpse of Mery Zamani, a well known and respected Iranian artist, who is also Angelina's maternal grandmother and the person who encouraged Angelina in her love of music, especially jazz. And then there is a shot of Angelina holding a candle upon which was an image of Screamin' Jay Hawkins. Lastly, if you had run the video to the end, you would have noticed how the "performing" Angelina, singing at a level of maturity far beyond her years, suddenly became a 9-year-old child almost instantaneously once she finished singing. From the time I first heard Angelina, way back at her first audition on Norway's Got Talent, she has amazed me.
She is the pro here. She arranges everything. She is the boss and just amazing. She does it all.
One of the main reasons why ANGELina has a team of professional musicians around her, is due to her winning Norway's got Talent at age 9. Already after her audition, singing GLOOMY SUNDAY by Billie Holiday, she became a viral sensation.
And had numerous perfomances with big bands, on Jazz festivals around Norway and the world. She's blessed with a great family that has supported her and protected her, so she's still allowed to be a child, inspite of her enormous talent.
Thank you!
lena She was 8 when she won.
Never before & never again will we have the privilege to experience something even remotely like this....
She is an old soul. She is feeling what she is singing. Amazing.
She is incredible
Wow, she's just a baby, a tiny little girl belting it out. Jaw dropping how technically good she is. I look forward to hearing her when she is older with life experience and deep emotion added to her already amazing performance. Her mom must be so proud of her,.
Pretty sure heaven watches future versions of Norway Got Talent and had a peek at Angelina getting ready to sing Billy Holiday cover. Then all the singing greats, Etta, Simone, Elvis, Lou Rawls, Amy, Frank, Michael etc who were watching in heaven and saw the future toothless, barefoot angelina and each put a little present in her soul before sending her to humanity. That sounds crazy and sane at the same time doesn't it? :)
When the record company, she, and the family push the button, she can not be ignored. But remember she is only 15 years old and still goes to school. This is something many people forget because she is so mature for her age.
I love your reactions to a super star she is so so great
9 years old and gives the director the wishes written down for this song. Listen to her at 7 on Norway's Got Talent, the beginning of the world discovering this incredible music genius.
Angelina is amazing . Her first song on Norway's Got Talent is '' GLOOMY SUNDAY '' And A Star Is Born .
9? She’s NINE?!
@@jerod5636 When this was recorded she was 9. Shes 15 now.
gongrat, been again stoped at your channel, cause of your reaction and of courser Als performance. bless ja
She gave me chills up my spine! Such a BEAUTIFUL POWERFUL Voice! Loved it! 😍
How preytell does a child sound like this? Holy hell. Deff channeling her past self from the 1920s or so. Dammmnnnnnn she gives me chills
Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤️💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤️💙 Whether you are a believer in reincarnation or not, I find it very intriguing that Lou Rawls, the American Jazz & blues singer legend, passed away only a few days before Angelina was born 😊 Loved your reaction!!!
Angelina makes an art of making songs her own and we love it!
Notice how she is in complete control of that studio, band and all.
Angelina has always been a bluesy and Jazzy singer since a child. This is a walk in the park for Angelina Jordan.
Love the reaction! Seeing someone react to Angelina's "I Put A Spell On You" for the first time is always a joy.
She owned the song. I was totally ENCHANTED!
AJ song #2 for you @MrLboyd ... I simply love watching your joy as you react to this one!
Thank you for this cool reaction : )
FINALLY sonone gives some love to the great band in this track. I mean, Angelina is obviously the star here, but these guys are phenomenal as well.
10000000% GODDESS!!!!!! A GENIUS FOR THE AGES!!!!!!!!!!! THIS WHOLE THING : THE VIDEO THE BAND AND MOST OF ALL ANGELina have conspired to create one of the greatest works of art of the 21st century. Let’s time travel ahead a few hundred years and peeps will be as mesmerized by this as we are!!!! I’ve been an artist all my life and blessed to be around some of the greatest creatives alive and I put ANGELina at the top. She is that kind of special 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
She is an angel sent from heaven to heal our souls, with class, humility, and goodness
Angelina Jordan är helt klart amazing det är så man gråter när man hör denna lilla späda flicka
Im put a spell on you
på ett sätt som bara en stor stor talang kan utföra❤❤❤❤Hon måste komma från en annan värld 💥💯
Angelina portrays so much skill and quality even at that young age of nine. What an absolute treat to listen to and the clarity she put into that song was amazing. I really enjoyed your reaction and thank you
7th Heaven
😘❤👍Amazing wow
This is a mans world at age 12 yrs is brilliant too. Feelin good at 10 yrs. I’m a fool to want you age 7yrs. Choose a year any year, doesn’t matter....her voice is unmistakably unique and she is a delight to listen to. Enjoy.
I love AJ! I just wanted to also say what a beautiful smile you have. Thank you for the reaction.😊
What do we have here? Let's just say, she is the greatest musical prodigy in the last 300 years. Enjoy the journey, my brother.
Don't agree, have you ever heard Jackie Evancho?
@@patriciaart9685 yes and I absolutely love her voice and respect both her abilities and your preference, but AJ's unlimited fountain of vocal creativity since the age of 6, is beyond explanations. The fact that she has been in charge of the musical arrangements since at least 7 years old, is truly unbelievable. And her emotional interpretation to the point of bringing tears onto the listeners' eyes, is a heavenly gift... Need I say more?
The greatest musical prodigy in the last 300 years? 😂 You’re on crack. Yeah. She’s better than the likes of Mozart just because she has a good singing voice 😂😂😂😂😂
@@fezzik7619 may God bless your roads.🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@fezzik7619 I'm with you. I think a more reasonable conclusion is that she already has one of the best voices in the history of popular recorded music. Which is amazing, but not quite the same!
God. Damn. Right.
If she stays clean, gets the right management, this lady could own the world.
I'm a cranky old man who sometimes literally shaves with fire and she's one of a very few performers who easily bring tears to my eyes due to their ability to emote and innate technical genius. I've seen some rough rehearsal videos and such a young person was setting the arrangements and telling the band what to do. An Old Master soul housed in such a young package leaving a trail of gob-smacked victims like me in her sonic boom wake.
BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This girl did a beautiful rendition of ‘Bang Bang’ when she was younger. She always sends chills down my spine!
Angelina has over 650 Million Views on RUclips and over 2 Billion Views on Facebook overall on her videos, and over 600,000 followers on her Offical channel, 250,000 Instagram followers!
Everything she’s ever sung. She makes it look so effortless. She just opens her mouth and beauty comes forth.
I still have all their microphones I got it when I was 13 maybe
Her voice is like an "out of body" exprerience! So glad I found her/you!
Amazing ❤
i love the original by screaming jay hawkins but imo angelina brings this song back to life and at 9 years old she produces this wonderful cover
Angelina the gift. Thumbs up sir.
As everyone says...welcome to the world of the shoeless angel.. .the soulful siren that draws one down her rabbit hole with that velvety other worldly voice which steals ones heart with her breathy, raspy, melancholy enchantment.
Clarence good. I really don’t think rabbit hole is a good way to describe Angelinas whatever it is you are trying to describe. Angelina is referred to being an angel so I doubt a rabbit hole would be the right place for her.
@@lydiabentley3413 I call it the Angelina Express.
Please don't call her a "siren"...I'm sure you didn't mean anything by it, but as a mom, I feel protective of her. There's a very adult connotation to the word "siren", and she's still a little girl.
@@evabartlett4599 15 is not a little girl, especially at 6'1".
@@103mrg Height and physical size have zero to do with it. Creeps like you are exactly why her parents shelter her. Gross.
No way, no way, no way.... Unbelievable! Shivers! Thanks for your 'intelligent' input.
Another stellar performance by probably the most versatile talented singing artist in the world today.
If she were 33 with that voice I'd be traveling to her shows. There's something about blues and jazz that when done in just exactly the right way just smashes you. The fact she's 17 now and doing her exploration of classic pop stylings of her own lyrics is just great. She could sing nursery rhymes for her whole career and I'd pick her first when I needed a nursery rhyme. But when you think about her being 9 here it just makes me want to move house, or something. It's completely ridiculous her genius with her instrument. A musical and technical genius, unparalleled. There are no ornamentations that seem at all superfluous. Each one is integral to what she's saying. That alone puts her in the top 1%. The timing and choice of emphasis, the technique and tone shape control. The variations of vibrato, again, all integral to the composition. Bro, get the heck out!
This angel has a catalogue of over 135 songs for everyone’s listening pleasure. You have barely scratched the surface of what this unique and other worldly talent is capable of doing.
Looked up this kid she is well known in Norway, she actually sings gospel songs in church, but her voice is special, she can make grown men cry.
Enjoy the journey. It just gets better and better and better.
Thanks for sharing your reaction. It's always funny to see people react to this one, because it blows people away every time.
This is the definition of an old soul in a new body.
Subscribed because of Angelina
Just the beginning of your journey along the AJ express. Only over 132 stops along the way.
There is a word for this kind of experience: I call it 'iconic'. It touches on uncanny, once-in-a-lifetime, world-changing, divine and super-human. Angelina is all that and more.
Thanks, she is phenomenal!!!!
An artist emerged about 9 years ago who defies tradition. Her followers seem to love her for all the non-traditional reasons. Of course, they love her voice and her style, but more than that they love “who” and “what she is. They love her character. Unlike so many idols today who are admired only for their performance skills, they adore and greatly respect this young lady’s humanity and charity from the earliest of ages. They adore her humility, and the love she expresses for her followers every single time, without fail, with a smile, and a wave. They love and appreciate that she has remained humble, ending a performance on stage with a smile and a small curtsy. They’re also proud of her, for honoring a pledge she made so many years ago, to this day. These are not the usual things one thinks about when stating why they like a particular artist. But then again Angelina Jordan Astar, or just Angie, isn’t just “any” artist.
Rotor - that is just beautifully worded and encompasses exactly the Angelina I see and adore. Thank you
Yes… she’s all grown up and still shining today!
yes we are!
😊😇😁✨💖
MrlBoyd I bet when you first heard Angelina a couple of months ago you would never have thought you would be in this deep!!
Bless you, my son. You have now officially been baptized in the church of Angelina Jordan! I would say it doesn't get any better than that, but it really does. On the topic of microphones, for her 12th birthday on January 10, 2018, her family gave her a Neumann TLM 103 microphone. In any videos of her singing at home from 2018 on, she is using that mic. It picks up every little nuance of her voice. She used it in the "I'd Rather Go Blind" video you reacted to. If you want to hear something totally different from Angelina, react to "Every Time We Say Goodbye", the Cole Porter classic made famous by Ella Fitzgerald in 1956. It's just Angelina accompanied by a guitarist. They are on a TV2 Morning TV show in Oslo, Norway (her hometown), outside on the rooftop of the building. The sound quality is like it was recorded in a studio and the purity of her voice is simply astounding. You can thank me later!
Angelina Jordan - Every Time We Say Goodbye ~ ruclips.net/video/KRSI8HmTHJA/видео.html
The show is actually a summer-show, called God Sommer Norge, or "Have a Nice summer, Norway". It runs every evening through the summer! 👍 Regards, from Norway!
Yes, thank you for pointing it out, saved me the typing. An absolutely stunningly beautiful piece of music, for any artist of any age.
She is out of this world
She arranged all the instruments, she is known as The Boss in the studio! And BTW she is always barefoot. In the studio, on stage wherever she sings. She feels the music in her feet and body. She is straight up perfect.
That isn't why she sings barefoot. While performing in Asia even before she won NGT, she gave her shoes to a homeless girl and has sinced performed barefeet to remind her of the less fortunate people in the world.
I like you honestly admirable reaction. ANGELINA JORDON THE BAREFOOT PRINCESS QUEEN OF JAZZ. KEEP GOING//// CHECK OUT ALL HER PERFORMANCES ON NORWAYS GOT TALENT AT 7, years old. Blow you away. Peace love friend ... stay safe 😘😘
Totally a perfect example to facilitate a belief in reincarnation.
Her audition at 6 or 7 blasting out a difficult and soulful blues classic was gobsmacking.
She absolutely nailed it!
It was first down by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins in 1956
I loved your reaction to the great 9 year old Angelina Jordan... You showed AJ, the band and the recording engineers and videographers a great deal of respect. Without their talents, the enjoyment wouldn't be there. Additionally, you are owed respect as well for how you put together your software and equipment for getting your reaction out for us to enjoy. Congratulations and best wishes for success in your channel...
Angelina is not 'a reincarnation of the greats' as MrLboyd put it @7:58 in the video. She's her very own, brilliantly talent. phenomenal GREAT!
You are on the beginning of one of the most amazing journeys of a lifetime! Stay tuned!🤠
Is she channeling his energy?
I don’t think a better question has been asked before a reaction to this song.
Wisdom. That’s why I like your reactions. Thank you.
She did at least two performances of this, and the video was cobbled together. It's exciting to realize she can be so drop-dead perfect at re-creating her vocals in two sessions, or else re-creating them close enough to the editors can piece-together this smooth-sounding and well-sync'd video. We're probably hearing the spit-shielded mike's version instead, which is more common for studio recordings. If/when you get to her most recent 7th HEAVEN (Live Studio) video, she is again using the Shure 55-type (or your version, the 70-B), but she's lowered it below her lip, and she's dropped the spit-producing F-sounds ("...friends" becomes an almost inaudible F "...riends" sound. "No Spit" on an unshielded 55/70. It's quite a mechanical lesson she's learned.
Love her renditions of all the Jazz songs from the past... Long Live Billie Holiday
She sings the best version of Bang Bang I have ever heard and she was 7 yrs old. This child does all her arrangements of her back up musicians as well.
She writes the arrangement fir the band when she sings. That’s why you see her writing the arrangement before she sings. She’s only about 10 hrs old here.
There's a few performances I always go back to and this is one of them, just amazing, such an old soul!!!!
Anytime I can listen to Angelina is a great day. I love people who are just starting out hearing, feeling her singing for the first few times. Looking at the camera gobsmacked, with an overload of brain activity....... disbelief, blanking for lack of words, are you kidding me? am I really hearing this?
Maybe take a look at "It's a mans world" the live version with the military band. Unbelievable......
Totally speechless listening to her....already one of the greats even at that age....
She is Amazing! I am flooredl
watching her
¡Gran reacción! ¡Qué tamaño de artista es Angelina! ¡Una genio total!
It’s really remarkable English first language it’s her third language she’s Oslo Norway
I never get tired of hearing this song.
Angelina is amazing!
