When Angelina is finished singing, you can see in her eyes how she is replaying and scoring herself on how she did with the song. She is reliving it in fast time, for memory, and for improvement or variation next time. She is more than a prodigy. She is everything she can be in music.
When Angelina sings this, she doesn´t only do that. It sounds like she lives it. You can see her make a painting of the lyrics if you shut your eyes while you listen to it. She has such an integrity when she sings
I just discovered this singer myself last Friday. I still can't believe it.
She is sensational… a musical prodigy. She makes me feel the music like nobody else… she is truly-truly awesome.
This little girl is an absolute vocal genius. If you can't explain it, than it is a gift!
I don’t know what it is about her voice. Just about any song she sings makes me cry a good cry. Not many things in life does this to me . My heart is somehow in line with the tone of her voice. The sound of her voice is so soothing and hypnotic that my mind goes to places in my past. Some memories are sorrowful and painful and just by listening to her angelic voice some how makes everything better and replaces them with joy and happiness. Voices like this only come once in a life time. God Bless You Angelina Jordan! Thank you for precious gift you have given the world with your songs.
Funny how we all feel like you do! She truly is mesmerizing. She truly is healing. She truly is good as a person and astronomical if I can use that word as a singer.
I just discovered her last night. It must have been meant to be. She’s awesome and I cried and laughed and I was overwhelmed. She’s a miracle.
She’s so amazing. Love your comment.
She always make me cry too. But it is a tear of joy. Her sound is so unique.
I guess this girl has 60 years of singing skills recorded in her DNA.
She has a phenomenal support system in her family. They also made sure that she still had a childhood.
To me, your comment about the difference between Angelina Jordan and other child/teen singers that are obviously "coached" is spot on. I've seen a bunch of them on RUclips and some are very talented, there's a 14-15yo Irish singer Allie Sherlock who has a very, very good voice. She's certainly not some Miley Cyrus "image singer", she can actually sing. The difference between Angelina Jordan and Allie Sherlock is night and day to me though. Angelina looks so natural, totally natural even at a younger age, where as a lot of the vids i've seen of Allie she jusst looks like she's trying to go through the "process" of singing. It's like she's trying to think back on all her coaching lessons and go through it step by step, where as it's just all natural with Angelina. I have no doubt both will have great singing careers, but to me.... Angelina has the potential to go down as a legend. She has that extra thing that most singers just don't have.
If it's possible, my eyelashes get goosebumps, whenever I hear this young girl sing & Freddie Mercury would be so proud 💕 She sews her own clothes, is instrumental in the arrangements of the cover songs she sings, & has a huge heart, going barefoot in remembrance of the girl she met once, who had no shoes, What can I say, except **WOW** 💕 Side note: A lot of people say how much she sounds like Amy Winehouse, Billie Holiday, & Nora Jones, & she does, however, for me, I get a beautiful renaissance feeling of the late great, Bessie Smith 💕💕💕 GREAT REACTION !!!
With this voice,... She scared away all roaches for some time. Loved the way she moved her head and the eyes. She is in complete control of all the instruments, and their arrangements. It's one piece, one unique making.
When she is singing she is old and as soon as she is done she is a child again. Awesome
at 18 months she was singing whitney huston, she taught herself to sing and in English by listening to you tube and playing the sons over and over till she learned them. She has over 110 videos on you tube with over 300 million hits she loves amy weinhouse,etta james,billie holiday,frank sinatra, whitney , lana del ray, adell and elvis,she has an incredible range, at 7 years she first sang gloomy sunday by billie holiday, then bang bang by nancy sintra and finally the winning performance, summertime, this was not a children's contest she beat out everybody including the adults.Her parents are very protective of her, and wanted her to have as normal a childhood which is why not to many people on the US have heard of her.She has performed in many countries and is very comfortable in both small venues as well as in front of huge crowds.When she was eight she was on the View and sang fly me to the moon.She has also written 3 songs and is currently in the us in LA working on her first album of all original songs. She has met and impressed many famous people and opened the 80th birthday party for Quincy Jones, who by the way adores her and has personally worked with her. She is also the youngest published author ever in Norway. She plays the piano, guitar paints and makes a lot of her own clothes
Angelina Jordan - A Million Years Ago
Sounds like you just got possessed and you are forever under her spell 🧚🏽♀️. As all of us RUclips followers are!!!
Hope to hear more reactions of Angelina.
This is the first reaction of Angelina by so called vocal coaches that always reveal their misunderstanding of music and vocal coaching making so many simple errors, and obviously not understanding or even listening to what is really going on. I think you got right to the heart of what makes her the amazing singer that she is. keep going, she has so much diversity , this has never ever been before.
I'm looking forward to hearing more!
@@VocalSplendorStudios And we are looking forward to see more reactions from you of Angelina :)
Thank you for your reaction! Most reactors are not trained to analyze the vocal side of a performance, so their reactions tend to be more personal than professional. My reaction to Angelina is personal, and I can tell you I have not heard a more "organic" voice than this young woman, not in many, many years...and I am in my late 70's. I can feel the emotion the song embodies when she sings. She can convey the emotion of the song without using overly dramatic gimmics. And she does this with many different genres. I look forward to more of your experiences with Angelina...you will not be disappointed...
I really hope she can include this song on her next record. Her vocals are absolutely wild on this song!I 10 years old!!!!😊👍
I can recommend listeing to her singing "a million years ago". That performance almost killed me.
Don't think of Angelina as a child, that's a mistake we've all made. She always sing with absolute confidence in her ability to perform. She should, she does. Be assured that whatever sound she makes she wanted it that way. Most her of YT performances are far less elaborate, sometimes singing with a single guitar in a home studio yet she blows your mind every time.
I cannot sing but I think she is musical genius. You call it "organic". She started SINGING, not merely listening to jazz at 18 months of age. She won Norway's Got Talent while still growing out of her baby teeth.
I agree. I hate when the judges say "and you are only 15 or you are only 12." No you say you only gave a great performance. I'd like to hear more from you. Many of those "only 15" are better singer than you are already 35.
Thank you for a very nice Angelina Jordan reaction. She made all the musical arrangements for her I Putt A Spell On You cover, and is known for coming to rehearsals and handing out her hand written arrangements to each musician.
Angelina has very wise and caring parents that wants her to be a child for as long as possible, so Angelina only holds a few concerts each year, some in the summer and some Christmas concerts. Her parents have turned down several big record labels and Disney because they want Angelina to have control over her own career when the time comes to really go for it, but for now they just want her to be the young teenager she is.
I want to beg you to react to another extraordinary Norwegian artist, the magical Aurora. She is the artist that is singing Into the Unknown with Idina Kim Menzel in the upcoming Frozen 2 movie and the one who sang Baby Mine in the Dumbo trailer. This might make you think she is an ordinary singer, but she is far form it.
She never wanted to be an artist, but a song was leaked online and management came calling, because of this she was only willing to go along with it if she could do it and at the same time be honest to who she is, and she has threatened to stop being an artist if she can not do it her way.
When Aurora was six years old, she found a keyboard in the attic and started to play, she discovered that she could play Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata bye ear and started writing melodies as a diary for herself and when she was nine years old, she started to write lyrics. Aurora's family did not know she sang until she was fourteen years old.
I suggest you react to her performing her song Runaway at the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert, as she has said it is the best way to get into her music, and it is unbelievable that such a young girl could write so deep lyrics. She wrote the song in one hour when she was eleven years old. She looks young at the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert, but she was nineteen years old.
ruclips.net/video/Fc7XWW_Ehb8/видео.html AURORA - RUNAWAY - The 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert
If I can only recommend one song to demonstrate her vocal mastery, check out her version of Feeling Good, especially the last bit.
She's currently killing it on 'America's Got Talent: The Champions', and she's gonna win the whole thing.
She channeled here the great Screamin Jay Hawkins as you see his face in the mug she's holding at the beginning of the video.
Angelina Jordan is an old soul. She loves to listen to the great old songs from the past. She started very young as you said she won Norway's Got Talent at age of 8 singing the great blues and jazz songs from decades back. She's 13 now and she chose to be an independent artist prioritizing her studies and had lived the normal kid's and early teen's life. She is so passionate about her music that she doesn't want anybody to like intervene or alter her music. She has done a lot of cover songs and 3 original songs to date. Angelina Jordan has very unique and lovable personality. I suggest you try to watch her performances in NGT and be amaze yourself.
Thankyou for reacting to her. ☺️
this is not a mug, but a candle
I've heard she was singing jazz at one and a half. It's in her soul.
Wow how did I miss this first reaction of yours of Angelina Jordan?? AWESOME!!!
It is pure Joy that you have been following Angelina ever since here! And your wish happily came true about staying off the pure money making train… though she was there at AGT and really blew the world away with her Bohemian Rhapsody and Yellow Brick Road!!
Republic Records has been awesome and having her family support and expertise is super.
Thank you for this exeption from youre normal, about doing children singing. It so nice to hear an voice teachers reacting and giving comments on Angelina. There are so many questions around her uniknes, how what she does is even possible. Your right - she is different, she is in a lieg of herself. All this comments and great words, trying to describe her exeptional talent. So again thank youfor giving us your coments on her performans (or hopfully a number of her performansES). I think maybe you will agree with us, this big bunch og sworn Angelina fans you`r about to get in touch with. Listening to her singing is a pure threet to our heart and soul, as well as our ears and minds, - and even lives. Based on this first reaction of yours i think you will feel both love and respect if you will take the journey together with us along Angelinas so far 5 -6 year long career. Every song of hers, from the start at Norske Talenter (Norwegian Tallents) when she did "Gloomy Sunday" from Billie Holliday ( some audition I must say, and she was only 7 YO then) and up to her latest videos - not at least the wonderfull Classical song "A song for A". Russian composer Nico Cartosio made this as he composed new music to an anchient Scottish poem, all for Angelina to sing. This was made for being the ending of his newest record, and is the only piece whith vocals in it. If you do her NT perfomanses for a start, may be two at the time (Some reactors have done that before). Like Her singing Billie Hollidays "Gloomy Sunday" and "I`m a fool to want you" (Very shortend version) together, and then her Sinatra version og "Bang Bang - my baby shot me down and Ella Fitzgeralds "Summertime". As you understand, I so want you to react to more of Angelina Jordans stunning performanses. We are here to listen to you (and Angelina) any day, and every day. Never get too much of here singing.
You hit the nail on the head talking about her phrasing. She has a natural ability to understand and then express the emotion behind every song. Very emotive singing with her unique tonal quality is simply a joy to listen to. I'd love to hear your reaction to Angelina singing in a higher register, perhaps her cover of A Million Years Ago by Adele or Lana Del Rey's Young and Beautiful.
... she is really a rare talent!!! You should hear her today... she is 13 today. 😊👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@BlackWolfSpirit sorry my mistake 😊
.. thx for correcting me!
👍😊❤️ she is born to sing, please do more of her 👍😊❤️
Bessie Smith is back and speaks Norwegian, English, Iranian and . She also learned how to play piano, violin, flute, and guitar...Angelina is beyond "Child Prodigy". She's in the supernatural zone.
Angelina she is the show she carries the talent to the limit and beyond!!!
Its a cover from screaming jay hawkins (photo on candle), but i could only listen to 1/4 of his version and i have heard her version 75+ times with joy.
She is beyond her years and has a natural feel for the music. I haven’t heard a song she did that did not impress me. Being 70 years old in the US I grew up listening to blues and some jazz. 👍🤙😃
Hello. She has been a fenomenon in Norway since 2014, when she was eight. It is mainly old school jazz, so she doesnt attract the biggest crowd outside Norway, but she also has some fantastic interpretations of Stay, A million years ago, and Born to die, among others, from when she was 12.
Aaaah! Nothing starts my day better than having a reactor listening to Angelina Jordan for the first time pop up in my recommendations. Thanks for starting this day out on such a bright note.
She was barely 9 here. Now she's almost 14 years old. She has always been called an old soul. Her voice is very deep now, like a contralto. She's even 6' tall now so she surely doesn't look like a child. She actually found her way to jazz by herself using RUclips on her iPad when she was a little kid. Her parents were as surprised as anyone else when they noticed she had an extraordinary talent.
Angelina has done more than 100 covers and even some originals. Today her voice is mature enough for her to launch a career. However her parents are holding back until she has finished school. So they have refused offers from many record companies. They want her to grow up as normal as possible and not make her a star too early.
Angelina moved from Oslo to LA last year. She already has connections with legendary people in the music business like Quincy Jones, David Foster and Mark Ronson. E. G. She attended Quincy Jones' birthday party last year in London singing "Fly Me To The Moon" for him. Quincy Jones said Angelina is the biggest talent he has seen since Michael Jackson. So Angelina is definitely not just one of the many child prodigies.
You will be stunned about some of her more recent songs including originals. Right now she is working on a new album of originals with several of them being jazz.
Here are some of her recent songs to react to. "Someone Like You" by Adele:

Well said. Liked your synopsis. Also, this reaction was very much on point. One of the most preceptive. Of course, as you said, AJ has moved on. VT should follow.
@@ann3046 That is why I said almost 14.
A song for a words are Robert Burns 1783 poem among th ed rigs o barley. The music is new.
6 ft tall ? Are you sure ?
Oh boy.... do you have a treat ahead of you if this your first intro to Angelina ! Unique, incredible, extraordinary.... the list goes on. The one and only Angelina.
Love the authentic reaction. I am a big fan of Angelina's, and have been for a number of years. I love it when new reactors discover her. She is 13 (14 in January) and i s well grounded and will go far. Her Mom and grandmother protect her and she makes wise decisions, not only in song choices, but also in how she showcases her talent. Please react to more of her performances. She really is incredible.
I am so happy to hear that her parents are protecting her from the machine.
@@VocalSplendorStudios Like this so much
@@VocalSplendorStudios on friday nov 6th Angelina is releasing a new original song called Million Miles =)
She put a spell on us all!
I love new reactors to Angelina Jordan! I hope you continue to react to this amazing child. If You react to her NGT performances, please use the ones with subtitles, the judges comments are worth watching ! Thank you. Hope to see more Angelina soon!
Well that’s the first time I’ve cried to that one in a while… I blame your joyous first discovery of Angelina…great reaction! I’m going to binge a bit of your playlist now : )
Great reaction. Yes, she is something else. Looking forward for more reaction to her from you.
Fantastic news! Angelina has just been named as a contestant on America's Got Talent the Champions taking place in January. This is her first Major Performance in the United States since she was a child, but now an aspiring star. She has a new album of Originals coming soon and this may tie in in some way. We wish her the best as she is a treasure. Please share this with all your subscribers
Thank You so much for reacting to Angelina! She also has many more sounds and styles for you to discover. ...And because Angelina is new to you and maybe some of your followers, here is my little bio on her...
*Angelina Jordan*
- Angelina Jordan was born Jan 10 2006 in Oslo, Norway. She is currently 13 (9 in this performance)
- She began singing at the age of one and a half
- At 2 or 3 she discovered Jazz through RUclips videos and started studying all the greats from Jazz history.
- Angelina always sings barefoot..... When Angelina was 6, she was traveling with her grandmother and met a poor girl with no shoes trying to make money on the streets. The girl complimented her on her pretty shoes, so Angelina took them off and gave them to the girl. She 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 to remind us that there are less fourtunate people in the world that could use our help. (that's a shortened version. the full story is more touching than the way I have told it here). When Angelina was 9 years old she wrote a book about the story that can be purchased on her website. (angelinajordanofficial)
- 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 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"
- The reason you may not have heard of her is because her parents are very protective of her childhood. They do not want her to be thrust into stardom before she has a chance to grow up as a normal child, and finish her education. They allow 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 come in. I have heard they have turned down offers from many major record labels and even disney.
- Angelina has covered more than 100 songs over 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, and many more. All of which heard her covering their songs and were blown away by her talent.
- Angelina has written three of her own original songs: "What is Life", "Shield" and "Oslo". (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 magical world in my head", and you can always hear the results of that. When Angelina sings it is pure soul, pure emotion, pure music.
@@BlackWolfSpirit yes, I was off on vacation. There was so much to see and do that I didn't even break out my laptop except to copy the photos off my camera each day. Barely even looked at my phone for 10 days straight. ...but I'm back now
@@RustyShacklefordChannel
Hey, welcome back.
Thank you for your very fine reaction to Angelina. I am delighted that you have discovered the most versatile singer living today. You mention "negative spaces" which is a phrase I have never heard before but hey! I am not trained in music. Perhaps it is what I mean when I tell people who first discover Angelina to "listen to the silence". If you continue to react to her many performances, and I hope you do, you are in for many pleasurable hours of excellent performances and your life will be changed for ever, I have listened to everything she has published on RUclips and have often been surprised at her versatility but never disappointed by her performance. Listening to Angelina perform is an emotional experience in itself. In an imaginative moment I likened Angelina to a chameleon, inasmuch as a chameleon adapts its colour to blend with the surroundings, so Angelina adapts the "colour" of her voice to convey the emotions of the song and communicate those emotions to the listener. I follow a number of young singers through RUclips and do so because their singing appeals to *my* emotions but good as they are and as much as I admire them, there is not one of them who can match Angelina's sheer ability and artistry in being able to sing so many musical genre with the emotion that the song deserves. And she does this without any dramatic gestures or vocal gymnastics but just by the sheer ability to know what is required of the song. I am a rather cynical 88 year old male and she has me in tears with her performances and I am in awe of her.
Wonderful reaction & input Valerie. 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 was 9 when filmed & she did the arrangement like she does all her songs she sings.
“Song For A” (by Nico Cartosio) ruclips.net/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/видео.html she’s just turned 13 when recorded & it was written for her by Nico Cartosio for his “Melting” album.
Great reaction! Thanks.
You called it on the Bessie Smith, She embodies her energy!
Sorry old russian daddy, I must say - delightfully... I love ANGELINA!
I adore Angelina. I find I cannot go a single day without her. She did the most wonderful thing for me. She gave me back the humanity I thought forever lost and made possible my joy for all that is sweet and beautiful and innocent.
I'm looking forward to more!
I think she is channeling several old souls🤩. We all love her. She is an old soul. Love your reaction 🥰🙏
I follow her 6 years now, since she was 7 years old and she won Norway got talent. I listen all her covers and with her smokey , raspy voice and her emotions when she sing, all covers are better than original songs. I just love her. She is amazing now and she will be huge legend one day. Please react her performance on AGT Champions where she got golden buzzer for her rendition Bohemian rapsody. This performance is stuning. Even Queen Woows her performance on Twitter. Will be mesmerizing if Angelina and Queen do this song together one day.
Too many times people are quick to Judge based on age. She looks to be 9 here and has the pipes most professionals could only dream of having. Granted the voice changes once puberty sets in so by 14-16 we'll all know for sure just how far she can go, but if I were to judge based on this I'd say she's well on her way to interstellar space as far as singing goes. Most pro's we buy albums from these days are no further than the Moon or maybe Mars just to paint a clearer picture, this style of control of voice is something you are born with not trained in.
Hey Valerie! Thanks for your lovely reaction and wise words :) "Its a mans world" will perhaps blow you away even more, and its only right that you check her cover of Amy Winehouse - Valerie
You are now heading down the rabbit hole! Once you hear one song, you are hooked! You just HAVE to hear more.
She won Norways got Talent at the age of 8 (she was 7 when first auditioned for it).
Have no fears about her. Her parents, especially her mother, have kept her bare feet firmly on the ground, limiting what she does publicly.
About the bare feet. Not sure where she was at the time, but a poor child with no shoes admired Angelina's shoes; Angelina gave them to her and swore to go barefoot at all her concerts in memory of that child and any others in the same position.
She wrote a book about that experience; she's the youngest Norwegian published author.
Someone commented on another reaction video:
Quincy Jones arranged Fly Me To The Moon for Frank Sinatra. Angelina did a cover of that song. Now she collaborates with Quincy Jones.
Mark Ronson produced Valerie for Amy Winehouse. Angelina did a cover of that song. Now she collaborates with Mark Ronson.
David Foster wrote I Have Nothing for Whitney Houston. Angelina did a cover of that song. Now she collaborates with David Foster.
She has also sang with Allan Walker. She was 10yo.
ruclips.net/video/s5YLpTh4l9o/видео.html
As if that wasn't enough; she is fluent in Norwegian, English, Iranian and is leaning Japanese
She plays piano, violin and guitar and writes her own songs now.
New album of her songs coming out in December.
You touched here on something really interesting that I haven't really heard before. Angelina has grown up listening to and singing jazz and other great music since she was literally a baby. When she sings, feels less like a construction and more like a controlled release, letting something inside her flow out. It sound cheesy, but it really does feel like this music is an extension of who she is. I grew up with music, singing in.choirs when I was younger and then playing drums. :D. Music absolutely is a passion for me. But I played songs. Sometimes I even played them with passion, but the songs didn't inhabit my soul the way they seem to do for Angelina. I'm pretty sure it doesn't for very many people (including all those precocious pre-teen opera stars and alt-folk-pop growlers). I think that likely comes from 1) genes (or reincarnation, if you prefer :D ), 2) immense talent, 3) intense exposure to advanced music songs from a very early age and 4) a lot of development - coaching, lessons and practice.
I have yet to hear a bad song from Angelina, but this one is probably her most outstanding performance, for me.
Read the comments and some people commented she learned to sing from RUclips videos which is partially correct she's self taught but what most failed to mention was her grand parents were big jazz buffs and would take her to music stores when they visited and would play jazz albums for her and probably educated her on jazz music ,her grandfather is where her height comes from he was very tall.
you have some great insights into anjelina. she's not a moneymaker - shes the GOAT...she is remaining independent. she has turned down disney ,french musicals,major recording contracts. all the insiders know her and want a piece of her.. started at 1-2 yrs old - fell in love with jazz and classical standards. she will b 14 in jan so she has been singing and refining these songs for 12 years.
Angelina ...
- I love all music, but jazz touches and warms my heart. The lyrics are about our everyday lives, so it's easy to convey that music, the 8-year-old has previously stated
.here's a interview with anjelina- u will better understand her.
The eight-year-old, who hails from Oslo, is among the contestants in Friday's episode of the talent competition "Norwegian Talents" on TV 2.
- I wasn't nervous because I had been waiting for this for so long. I was very excited and eager to show that I could sing. If I don't have faith in myself, no one else can have faith in me either, says Angelina to VG.
She says that she has learned to sing by listening to music on discs and RUclips.
- I've received many CDs with jazz as a gift from grandma and dad. At school I have a singing teacher and I practice every single day.
Gives the judges chops
Angelina performs "Gloomy Sunday", made famous by her great idol, Billie Holiday, in 1941. The melancholy song is about a sad Sunday, where a man is abandoned by his loved one.
The jury gets the hang of the performance - and Angelina gets a pat on the audience in the hall. But if it is enough to move on, TV viewers will not know until Friday evening.
VGTV: Watch the performance here
Touched by jazz
- She discovered Billy Holiday completely by herself, and fell for exactly this song. In the beginning, I think it was a bit too "heavy" song for a five year old to sing, laughs mom Sara Astar.
Angelina started singing when she was a year and a half, and discovered jazz when she was two.
- I love all music, but jazz touches and warms my heart. The lyrics are about our everyday lives, so it's easy to convey that music, says the 8-year-old.
She has previously performed at several jazz festivals, and at the Melafestival in City Hall Square. The first time she performed to a large audience was at International AIDS Day in Oslo in December.
Proud mother
- This is an incredibly special one, and we think it's amazing that she has managed to impress so many with her voice. What many probably think is special is that she has such an adult voice, says mom Sara to VG.
But the mother would not take any credit for Angelina's beautiful and distinctive singing voice.
- She does not come from any distinctive musical family, for neither me nor my husband is engaged in music. The grandmother is an artist and loves music, so that's probably where she got the inspiration from, she says.
The eight-year-old has already set great goals for the future, and says she wants to share her music with the world.
- My goal is to convey something that is beautiful to people. I want to share my love of music with the rest of the world. My dream is to be the youngest to perform at the Nobel Concert. Then I can convey my message of peace and that everyone must help children who are hurting, not least those who are suffering in Syria. All children need to experience seeing their dreams come true, says Angelina.
BTW anjelina sang at the noble concert several months after winning NGT at 8 yrs. she sang "what a wonderful world" not only was it captivating she owned the stage and the audience and u could see the pride just oozing out of anjelina as this was a dream..ruclips.net/video/IVyjEqBHCaE/видео.html
.english is her 3rd language. plays piano,violin,flute and guitar. writes own music and has rewritten a couple of amy winehouse songs. "back to black"and "rehab" which she named "back to school"has over a 100 covers and u will b hard pressed to find one that is not better than original..
thank u for reacting to the BAREFOOT ANGEL OF NORWAY>>>it was very insightful of u. u picked out some traits of anjelina that most reactors do not catch on so quick.. loved ur analysis...
WELCOME TO THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF ANJELINA>>
Clyde Trowbridge wow. This was a looooonnnnggg comment but well worth reading
Clyde Trowbridge
Hello Clyde!!
Wow. Both a great reaction video *and* a great viewer comment. My thanks to both of you..
Nice commentary I'm glad that Angelina is finally getting exposure she deserves I've been watching her for several years now and she is always impressive and a way I would like to just keep her to myself but I know she wants to spread her message to world and she deserves her dreams
When she sings, she gets into a zone, living out every word of the lyrics and, she expresses them with her body movement and multi- frequency tones and pitches in the most unique way. A second after the song, she’s instantly teleported back to our “planet,” greets us with a smile and sometimes waves her hand. Amazing grace!
I’m checking five times a day for your review of Angelina Jordan’s new EP! How come you’ve not done this yet, you’re one of the best reviewer’s!?
If you want your bean really spun, listen to her audition for Norway's Got Talent. She sings, 'I'm A Fool To Want You' a cappella. She did this when she was 7 yrs. old. She won the whole competition at 8 yrs. old. I only recommend this because you know you shouldn't be hearing what you're hearing. Just the fact that without prompts or even a start note, she launches into this song like someone who has lived a life with that kind of pain. And she never hits a wrong note or loses the beat, it is all contained in that little body. Another thing, she has never shown an ounce of fear or apprehension. She also has very definite ideas on how the song will go. If you watch the intro to this song you see her writing notes on the crib sheet, then you see the conductor reading them and smiling. She is telling him some late changes to the arrangement. She 'hears' the song in her head and wants to sing it that way. She is most definitely an angel.
P.S. There is another young singer I wish you would listen to, since you've dipped your toe in that pool. Her name is Daneliya Tuleshova and she is about the same age as Angelina and is a completely different style of singer, but is similar in her being an old soul in a young body. Watch her audition for The Voice Ukraine Kids, she sings 'Stone Cold' by Demi Lavatto. She is 10 yrs. old at the time. I promise you won't be disappointed.
Apparently she has no shoes on, because one the way there, she gave them away to another girl who didn't have any.
Amazing!
Absolutely correct. This baby is a all soul and has done this many times before in a prior life. You are not taught this. Look at how she moves her hands when singing which is not normal for a child. Reincarnation at its finest
It’s Billie Haladay inside, I’m a 63 year old guy I’ve listened to her every evening for the last 2 years, it relaxes your body and your soul and puts you in such a relaxing stage when your about to call it a great day to finish it with Angelina. She calls us her Angels
This girl sure go very far... A superstar... Yes a superstar am a fan love it...
She sings old jazz. AGT does have her at 13 yrs old singing a Queen song. Grrat!
That's the most amazing thing I've ever seen a kid do.
Thank you for saying she sounds like Bessie Smith. She herself has said Billie Holiday is a major influence, but I’ve always heard Bessie Smith. I have to believe her home was just pumping in that era of early 20th century blues and jazz since she was just a little embryo and her cellular structure just ABSORBED IT all.
I had a spell put on me and now i can't stop watching, i think you had the same spell put on you .😊🌏
It's pretty refreshing seeing your smiling face realizing there's the voice of an old soul in this child. Thank you for sharing
Check out her rendition of 'A million years ago', 'Born to die', 'Stay', ....
Angelina discovered jazz on RUclips all by herself at very young age. While other kids watch Peppa Pig & Wheels on the Buss, Angelina fell in love with Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Etta James et.al. and played them on repeat all day long.
I have been watching every since she won the contest in Norway , and how she has evolved in to one beautiful voiced young lady , I am glad her parents are keeping her away from buzzards that would love to have complete control of she and her life . . all I can say is i love to hear her sing here in Old Virginia ,U.S.A.. and looks for something on RUclips all the time . Angelina I have watched form your start , and will always watch you sing . thank you for your dedication to your art"
My exact feelings she's channeling. She was asked what are you thinking when you sing her answer was go to another world my happy place. You are right on this is one of the new evolved souls coming to earth.
Hi greetings from Norway. This was a good reaction. I'm always happy when I see new people discover her for the first time. But many stop to react to her after this video, which is a pity. I first discovered Angelina Jordan Astar when she first participated in Norway's got talent 2014, when she was
7 and 8 years old. ( here is a video clip from the finals: ruclips.net/video/iBVe68xYEpc/видео.html )
I still remember that I was shocked in a positive way, and I have ever since that time been a fan. A fan of a child. I wouldn't believed it if you had asked me 10 years ago.
I have never been interested in the jazz music genre , but Angelina's interpretations of old jazz music classics has "opened my eyes" for that kind of music for sure, and in a way "touched me".
In the past year she has posted some great covers of modern music as well.
As many has written she has released some original songs. One of them is her song Shield, which has already been covered in a song competition. ( You can find the cover of Angelina's song "Shield" here: ruclips.net/video/bdUaGvdPLuE/видео.html )

Why is it hard to believe that great jazz singers are coming out of Norway ? Scandinavia pr today has the best jazz performers.
It’s funny that you should mention Simon Cowell as Angelina was invited to compete in AGT T Champions and turned them down cold! I have been a musician for over 50 years and find this young lady is without peer! If you really want to hear her versatility,react to her cover of Every Time We Say Goodbye which was recorded within months of this one!
Just sharing a thought; jazz singer Lou Rawls died on January 6, 2006. Angelina Jordan was born 4 days later on January 10, 2006.
Please please do more A.J.She does everything her own way,and is the owner of her destiny.I agree about talent shows definately a feeling of mass production.
❤️❤️❤️❤️👣 I found this by accident and have been addicted to her every since, and I am happy about it too.
Hhaaaaaaaaaa, that squeal is so good !!
I do believe you understand.Thank you so much. May I suggest you check out her covers, A Song For A, Autumn Leaves, You Make Me Feel So Young, Wicked Games, Stay, A Million Years Ago and so many more. Our angel is beyond special.
Love this girl, have been following her for several years. Amazing.
Val, the things that stand out the most for me, other than her other worldly singing voice, is her uncanny level of maturity and professionalism. Watching her behavior during this session was quite surprising in that Angelina’s behavior is the antithesis of what is expected of a nine year old singer. She conducted herself like a much older seasoned veteran. She controlled everything in that performance including the band. She wrote the arrangement. When we saw her writing in the beginning of the video and then saw the music producer respond with a smile to what she wrote she had made a request to have the piano player change the way he played the song according to her recommendation.
Theblaster He was smiling because she had stated the requests as "her wishes" and he found this politeness especially precious.
Just listen to her, simple as that, she is like no other.
Just2good Valerie, wow, love you girl..
She is so incredible no matter what she sings, but this song and video is stunning...most definitely reincarnation of another singer...i love her videos of when she was about 8 to this one...it is so deeply moving i watch it more than any other...
I can't stop listening to "crazy" by Angelina Jordan.
The songs from Norway's Got Talent are all amazing. She started with Gloomy Sunday, she was 7. My favorite is Summertime. Well worth watching
I'm very satisfied to see many elaborated comments on AJ. Perhaps it shows how much this adorable teenager is precious to the jazz and pop worlds music scene.
Hi and welcome in the world of Angelina Jordan. Your now official get spelled and be a fan forever ;)""
What makes this song much more impressive is she wrote this tribute to screaming Jay Hawkins the guy on the cup on begin by herself.
You can get in on RUclips if you know the original you can see this brilliancy of a 8 year old girl to make it to her own.
She belongs to a small circle of singers who can reach 5 octaves.
One of her best songs ins "Born to die" so if you like react or listen by a cap of coffee to this one.
And your right Bessie Smith she sounds a bit like her.
I relay like to see you reacting to other Angelina songs.
Best Chris
Jessss 👍🏻reincarnated ...if you already show a talent as a toddler of 18 month. That’s the proof 👍🏻hail these geniuses Who are returning to us. And don’t worry she is soo strong and determined to be herself
Quincy Jones heard the same as you. She opened his 85th birthday concert in 2018 at the O2 Arena in London, singing his arrangement of Fly Me To The Moon for Frank Sinatra.
I read that he thinks she the biggest new talent he has seen since Michael Jackson & he has seen them all.
She was seven when she was on Norway's Got Talent (eight when she won). She is nine in this video and just turned fifteen. Recording labels wanted her since age eight, but her parents did not allow this to occur until she was fourteen as they want her to have a normal childhood (as normal as can be with her talent). She is 1/4 Japanese, 1/4 Iranian and 1/2 Swedish. From an early age she was listening to jazz and blues. She performs in bare feet after seeing a poor child in Iran who had no shoes. Angelina gave her her shoes and vowed to perform barefoot till all children have shoes. BTW, she published a book at age nine; it was illustrated by her Iranian grandmother who is an artist. She did perform on AGT, and it is worth it to watch her sing her arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody. The outfit she wears for that performance was made by her from cloth designed by her grandmother.
Angelina Jordan gonna be in next year Amercan got Talent The Champions. Go Angelina
Angelina began singing when she was 18 months. She was 10 when she recorded i put a spell on you. She has published 2 books and she writes her music
I love first reactions to AJ. Yes, she grew up with jazz, starting to sing it at 1 1/2 years old under the influence of her artist grandmother.
