"OMG what is happening?!?" is exactly the kind of response that makes me binge Angelina Jordan reaction videos. I mean I'm just a regular person so of course I'm going to be blown away. So I can't even imagine what it's like for people who are trained experts in this kind of thing. There's stuff this little girl has done at barely 8 years old that would be considered a magnum opus by any normal musician - even one with decades of experience.
She was 9 then, you saw her hand in the arrangement at the beginning. The band lovingly nicknamed her the Boss.
Let's blow your mind twice.
She didn't just sing this, she also did the arrangement.
She doesn't use auto tune either.
Angelina's first language is music. I think her first cry when she was born was an F3 with vocal fry for 45 seconds. She didn't learn how to perfect her vibrato until the second cry.
LOL
Haha 🤣 And the crazy part... it could actually be true 🤣
I think you are exaggerating, the vocal fry came on the 2nd cry and vibrato on the 3rd.
It's so typical of fans to exaggerate the abilities of the object of their fandom. Fortunately, in the case of Angelina Jordan, it's impossible to adequately describe her without seeming to exaggerate. The fact that the fans in this thread are actually conceding that her immense talents had to wait until after her birth to be noticed is a case in point. We only concede this in order to avoid scaring away potential fans who have not had much experience of her. Truly, Mark S is making a very conservative statement here, for this very reason. 😁😁
@@ShanLiB 😉😅
Born in Norway, Angelina Jordan is a remarkable gift that apparently God wanted many of us to share and welcome into our hearts. She is truly a treasure that continues to grow and improve and will one day in the near future become the worlds greatest singer, song writer, entertainer. How do I know this-- because I am 84 years old and watched and enjoyed her journey since day one. She is almost there-I can't wait till the whole world recognizes her greatness. Its coming.
She KNOWS what she is doing. She actually arranges ALL her music in all her performances. The guys in the studio call her The Boss because she was in charge.
English is her second. She's Norwegian.
She is a prodigy if there ever was one.
A master class at just 9 years old. English is not her first language, she is from Norway. I've listened to her singing in English, French, Japanese and more recently Spanish.
welcome to the barefoot princess of jazz,9years old,a tribute song to screaming jay hawkings from -56
She: "Oh my Gosh, she's a baby" - my first thoughts knowing what's comming after: "Oh boy, this is gonna be fun"
Angelina arranges all of her songs and has done so since the age of 7. She specifically arranged this as a tribute to Screaming Jay Hawkins who released this in 1956.
Oh she understands alright, she arranged it, the band members call her The Boss.
Oh, she KNOWS what she's doing, started @ 1 1/2 yrs old; she grew up listening to classic jazz, her faves:
Billie Holiday and Frank Sinatra, she's mastered 4 languages, She is Norwegian but spoke English easily very young, arranges her covers, the band calls her "The Boss"... in this case, it's the MUSIC that drives her.. her inflections are intentional, she uses her vocal ornaments at her own whim.. as you saw at the beginning of the video she's writing last minute notes to the band director.... Oh, she knows EXACTLY what she's doing... She did attend an exclusive Music/Art school, but the teachers were to leave her "voice" be as it is... She's a PRODIGY, and also is Norway's YOUNGEST PUBLISHED AUTHOR.. she pens a book sharing how she came to diligently always sing barefoot... An artist, and she has written some originals. Oh, she KNOWS what she's doing... Sand at a Nobel Prize Ceremony, by personal request, at 12 yrs old, she OPENED Quincey Jones' 85th Birthday Gala singing "Fly Me To The Moon" with FULL ORCHESTRA... Oh yes, she knows what she's doing.. I enjoyed your intelligent/knowledgeable comments, REFRESHING perspectives and of course your facial expressions: PRICELESS, and PERPLEXING.. Good Fun! Early on, she emulates Billie, Nina, Ella, Amy, but that VOICE is an original, a God given gift with a great compassion for underprivileged children..her heart is the ONLY thing bigger than her talent; her power is her EMOTION. PEACE!!🙏🏻🙏🏻 Can't wait to hear more from you!!🎵🎤🎹🎶🎷👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎉🎉
Every time I watch this reaction, I have to wonder why the hell you never did another Angelina reaction. Shes A-mazing. 🤷🏻♂️
I am convinced she understands exactly what she's doing.
Well this is one of the best AJ analysis I have heard. I have heard a lot.
@@bockviken Agreed.
There should be a photo of Angelina in the dictionary under the word "precocious." She never ceases to amaze.
She had gurgle, grit, and growl in that one spot lol, crazy
Saying "this will be interesting" at the beginning of the video comes out to be an understatement.
The one comment that got me was when one of the judges said at her audition SHE WAS MUSIC. At Norways got talent.
At age 9, with this song, AJ put the world on notice that she had arrived. So, AJ is Norwegian and speaks multiple languages, plays multiple instruments, writes music, is a published author and is a humanitarian having helped raise 10's of millions of dollars for charities. She won Norway's Got Talent when she was 8 (auditioned at 7) and got the Golden Buzzer on AGT Champions, age 13. The list of accomplishments goes on much longer but this gives an idea of the level of child prodigy you have just witnessed.
I think you may have taken your first step in exploring the vast number of songs she has recorded on RUclips and other platforms (over 200), the greatest songs from many genres by the greatest performers. Her performances are stunning and deeply moving as you have already experienced.
Not that it really really matters but her number of songs recorded online is more like 140 but the emphasis you give on her prodigious Talent is all accurate and it's almost impossible to overstate the phenomenon that is Angelina Jordan.
AMEN to that
Do you know of somewhere that's collected her entire catalog of RUclips videos together?? I know there is a video (or two) that goes through the intros to 130+ of her videos, but where are the originals??
@@sulatlalakiAngelina has 300+ videos on her grandma's YT channel:
"Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz"
She is from Norway. She is fully aware of her gifted talent to sing
She's 9 years old here, but she ain't no baby! LOL! She's a "beast"! 😂🤣 This amazing young lady (and this video!) should be studied in every music school in the entire world. Simply phenomenal!
She absolutely understands. And she understands the blues language which is not diatonic.
She has been singing since age 3. She writes all the music and gave the conductor a change when she got there.
Angelina started singing at one and a half years old. There is video of Angelina at that age sitting in a bed with a toy microphone singing Whitney Houston's " I will always love you ". Angelina is Norwegian and speaks Norwegian and English is her third language. Angelina is self taught and arranges all of her music which you will find out as you have now entered the rabbit hole into her world and you are going to love the ride. She is the best singer in the world. Angelina opened for Quincy Jones for his 85th birthday at the 02 Arena in London and he said that " he hasn't seen another singer this good since Michael Jackson ".
If my first hearing of this was audio only, I would've pictured a 40 year old woman in a smoky nightclub with a martini in one hand and a cigarette in the other lol
Girl, yes she understands. That's our Barefoot princess 👣.
If this your first time you hear Angelina Jordan you are in for a surprise.
She understands, believe me she knows. You’ll see.
9 years old and AMAZING
She won Norway's Got Talent when she was 5. This video of her stunned me first time I saw it. Her voice Blew me away . The musicians must be as well. She is only 9 years old when she sang this song. This video of Angelina is a treasure. She' sings barefoot.
Today, January 10,2023, is her 17th birthday. She is more amazing than ever!
"Angelina Jordan - I Have Nothing (Whitney Houston Tribute)" crazy good.
Angelina has occasionally had contact with singing teachers. But not so much to change her self-taught way of singing, but more to learn how to protect her amazing voice. Angelina, 5-6 yo, attended Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, She learned to play piano, guitar etc. She has also learned to arrange music etc. She started singing when she was very young! Since then, she has trained an incredible amount. I have heard that she practiced several hours a day, already at the age of 4-5.
Paraphrasing the NGT Judge "Angelina is Music".
She's been singing since 18 months. Outrageous!
Angelina 9 yo. Look at her! She controls the entire recording. She has the power and ability to carry this out. The fact that she then has an outstanding fantastic voice and theatrical body language only makes everything even better. This little Norwegian girl reads the English lyrics while singing! She is from Norway and they speak Norwegian there. English is Angelina's 3rd language! Already at 5-6 years old, she understands exactly what is meant in the lyrics! Incredible!
A genius at work. I am so happy for everything she gives me. / a Swedish Viking.
The musical magic of AJ hits you hard !!!
Thank you for your enthusiastic reaction to Angelina. Your response was not surprising!
Norwegian born Angelina began singing at the age of one and a half, and by age three was listening to jazz and classics legends on repeat. Her grandmother was her greatest influence, but Angelina chose her own path. Her first studio performance was at age 7, singing I Who Have Nothing. She won Norway's Got Talent at the age of only 8, singing old time classics from Billie Holliday and George Gershwin, and became the youngest ever vocalist to win an international Got Talent Show! She also went viral on America's Got Talent the champions in 2020 with her unique version of Bohemian Rhapsody. Angelina sings in English which unbelievably is her third language! She is a true prodigy.
She is now 16, and has recorded a huge library of songs, including covers and several originals. A major attraction to Angelina's music is the emotion and attitude she conveys, although she has not experienced the life events! She is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices as she can adjust her tone, style, and register for any song or genre. She was signed by Republic Records almost two years ago. She is not widely promoted yet, however, as her family has decided to wait until she graduates school, so she has a normal childhood.
Here is a link from ages 6 to 16 of 106 Angelina chronological RUclips performances with five originals.

Why does Angelina sing barefoot? The answer may bring a tear to your eye.
When she was 6 years old, she was in the Middle East with her mom and grandmother and they came across a young orphan girl with no shoes and scarred feet. Angelina gave the girl her own shoes and has forever performed barefoot as a reminder of all those less fortunate. At age 9 she wrote a book about this experience, Between two Hearts, becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. She also has helped raise millions for children's charities. She is a special individual, and one you cannot follow without developing an emotional bond.
Angelina captures hearts because she is humble and has compassion for humanity. Her stated goal from childhood was to sing for the world and spread love and peace. I trust this will cause you to embrace her as millions of others have, and that you will continue down the rabbit hole from which you will not want to escape. Peace and love.

I never get tired of professionals hearing her for the first time. I just love her.
Shes been here before. No other explanation. She understands exactly what she's singing.
Welcome to the 🌍 of Angelina, the princess of jazz music 🎷 who does not wear shoes 🦶🦶 during her performance and for a very good reason...👑🗣🎙
hello Jess, All the fairies leaned over her cradle!!! Angelina is incomparable and exceptional! I loved your reaction between disbelief and admiration😉
I'm no expert but you cannot teach a young girl like this all she does. It's 10% tutoring and 90% natural. It's like you can taste and smell her passion. AMAZING!
You can younger, her 4 performances in 2014 when she won Norway's Got Talent. Angelina has helped raise millions for charities. Youngest published author in Norway at age 9. Performs barefoot to remind her of all the less fortunate children in the world. Angelina speaks multiple languages and plays multiple instruments. Angelina signed with Republic Records in 2020. Born January 10th 2006. Angelina is a very confident yet humble person, she shows much empathetic characteristics.
She is a child prodigy. She was singing at a year and a half and always knew she wanted to be a singer. She is quite amazing.
Thank you for discovering Angelina. She is well worth every microsecond you spend on her. I have watched and listened to her in awe since she released her first video on RUclips, and what has been evident to me from the start is that she sings with TOTAL CONVICTION despite the fact that she is far too young to have experienced the events suggested in the lyrics of the song she has chosen to sing. But it is not only that, for strange as it may seem is the even more remarkable fact that she con convey the appropriate emotions within those lyrics to her listener.
Yes, Angelina was 9 years and 2 months old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, who wrote and performed the song in 1956. She based her arrangement on his original performance, although she discarded all the theatrics and allowed her voice and body language to tell the story. The song has been covered by many singers over the years, but to my knowledge, Angelina is the only one who has sung in the same style as the original.
Things I found particularly worthy of note in this video are
(a) Angelina finishing writing last minute changes she wanted and handing them to the Music Director, who smiled.
(b) A brief glimpse of Mery Zamani, Angelina's maternal grandmother, a well known and respected Iranian Artist and poet who was also a child prodigy. She was the person who recognised Angelina's talent at an early age and exposed her to all the old time jazz singers.
(c) The candle with an image of Screamin' Jay Hawkins on it.
(d) The smile on the face of the Bass player.
(e) How she rose on to her toes on the last occasion she sang "...because you're mine"
(f) The fact she occasionally refers to her written notes on the music stand
(g) The instant transformation from "performance" mode to that of a pensive child, possibly wondering whether she could have done better. I comment on the "pensive" child because Angelina has an incredible work ethic and seeks to perform every song in a way she considers will bring out all the emotions within the lyrics and melody.
Angelina has been referred to as the "Queen of Jazz", "The Barefoot Princess", "The girl with a thousand voices". All of them are true, but I prefer the nickname I gave her after listening to about six of her performances. For me, she is "The Chameleon of Song", for as a chameleon is able to change its colour to match its surroundings, so Angelina is able to change the "colour" of her voice to accurately match the needs of the song to reveal the emotions within the lyrics and melody. Even more remarkable is her innate ability to communicate those same emotions to her listeners.
Hitting the consonants before the vowles were great
AJ don't play. We get the most stunning, amazing performance of a 9 yr old of this Jazz standard ever created. I believe it is going to go down in Jazz & Music history as the best ever for this age and in my opinion the best rendition of this song ever created Screamin Jay included. It will be revisited for Decades and will remain relevant for Generations to come. Anyone who discovers this performance for the first time today or a 100 years from today are going to be as amazed and astounded as everybody has been to this point.
Think of the children who will be inspired by this one performance in the decades to come. This is an Iconic performance and will always be Iconic. Angelina has on her own from early on at 6 or 7 yrs old reintroduced what I believe will be a whole new Jazz Era and redefined by this young phenom and prodigy. That is astounding! And she is just 16 years old... That is unfathomable. She has already established her proficiency and incredible work ethic in this endeavor guided by an incredible family and professional support now surrounding her.
We know Angelina will continue to amaze! We will be here to experience and cherish it for as long as we live.... and I am praying for many more years for myself to enjoy it till the end of my days... I hope to go out of this world listening to the most beautiful voice ever created for man just as Angelina came into it to fulfill her purpose, what she was put on earth to do, sing for the whole World... and Me! To me Angelina is always singing to me transporting me to that beautiful place she inhabits when she sings and to experience it with her. She has the ability to touch hearts and souls and change lives. She has the ability to change lives on a personal level and the power to change lives on a global scale. To me no one compares.
You just watched a Masterpiece! Destined to go down in Music History as the best performance by a 9 yr old, Period! Past, present & dare I say Future! I'd like to see anyone, young or old who can do a cover of this & with the justice it deserves as Angelina has done on every cover she does. ♥👣👸🏻
She DOES play. Plays beautifully.
Another spell was cast by 9yo Angelina. There is so much more going on with this young lady than most of us can comprehend. Welcome to “The World Of Angelina Jordan Astar” (full name). “The Barefoot Princess With The Velvet Voice And A Mona Lisa Smile”. Born Jan 10, 2006. From her audition on Norway’s Got Talent (2014 - age 7 - Gloomy Sunday "Billy Holiday") through the final on America’s Got Talent The Champions (2020 - age 13 - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road "Sir Elton John") and the 130+ videos in between you will not be disappointed. This includes three originals song: “What Is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” Since then she has done many new covers and now her new singles "Million Miles" and “7th Heaven”, along with her movie soundtrack "Mercy" from the motion picture “The Hating Game”. As well as her brilliant version of Elvis’s “Suspicious Mind”. My personal favorite is her cover of Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die". Although “Mercy” is really growing on me.
Let’s analyze the video:
1st you see how small and cute she is.
2nd you see she is barefoot (story below)
3rd You see her making her “Wish List” of suggested changes to the song.
4th the band leader taking note of the changes.
5th Angelina is holding a candle with “Screemin’ Jay Hawkin’s (original artist 1956) picture on it.
6th the old soul in her voice.
She is the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina wrote and her Grandmother illustrated a book about why she sings barefoot. She was on a trip to Iran where her grandmother is from and met a street girl weighing people for money. Angelina sat and talked with the girl. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, a doctor but that it could never happen. Angelina told her to never give up hope. The girl complimented Angelina on her shoes and Angelina noticed her scarred bare feet so she gave them to her, and the little girl told Angelina she would pray for her every day. Angelina sings barefoot to this day to remind herself (and the world) that there are still children in need. All book proceeds go to charity.
New subscriber. Welcome to the world of Angelina Jordan! Nine here 16, now. You've just listened to what is likely the greatest performance by a child singer, ever. You've stepped through the mirror into music wonderland with Angelina as Alice.
Angelina is not Whitney, or Amy, or Adele, or Billie, or Frank Sinatra, although she covers them all with total originality. ANGELINA has 1000 voices, is a prodigy, a Mozart of musicality, a musical mind that hears the greatest songs ever written, (Bohemian Rhapsody, Yellow Brick Road, Suspicious Minds, Easy On Me )reimagines them and synthesizes them through her heart and soul into combinations of sounds, vocals, timbres, tones that cut through a listeners ears right to their souls.
AJ can shape her voice like Louis Armstrong played the trumpet, changing, shifting, creating new and splendid sounds and variations that are so pleasing to the human ear and soul that people of all ages, sexes, races and nationalities are profoundly touched and affected in ways no other singer EVER has. Add to that her confidence and fearlessness to take classics and rearrange them completely, making them her own while still paying homage and tribute to the original artists. NO ONE ALIVE has these unique combinations of talents, all wrapped up in a humble, loving caring teenager that speaks multiple languages, plays multiple instruments, performs barefoot to bring focus to poor children, and has given millions to charity. Looking forward to more of your AJ journey.
Great first reaction! Oh boy, you are going to be bombarded by her fans called Angels that will fill you in on this music prodigy with an old soul from Norway. She's basically been a star since she was 7 years old. First and foremost, she is a jazz singer but has the ability to sing any genre. She also does all of her own musical arrangements. Her early influences are Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, and Etta James to name a few. Her love of jazz came from her grandmother playing jazz music around her when she was young. She entered and won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8. With her new found fame, she used it to appear on many shows from abroad and help raise millions for the less fortunate children around the world. At age 13, she was invited to participate on America's Got Talent: The Champions in 2020. She shocked the audience and the judges with her rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. She received a standing ovation from all and got the Golden Buzzer from judge Heidi Klum to go straight to the Finals. Her performance went viral and even the group Queen responded on Twitter by saying, " Wow, what a rendition!" Not only that, but she received the copyrights for her version of this song from Queen, which makes it hers now. She did not win, but her fan base grew and expanded her popularity.
Now 16 years old, living in Los Angeles, and is signed with Republic Records, whose clients include Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Drake to name a few. Her family and Republic Records have agreed not to heavily promote her just yet so she can live as normal of a life as possible and finish her schooling. She is working on a new album of original music which will be coming out next year. She recently returned back to Norway and performed at a number of sold out concerts in which fans from around the world came to see her. Many of the fans there said she sounded better live in person and was a once in a lifetime experience.
Her fans call her The Barefoot Princess. She always performs with no shoes when she sings. Why? The reason is very special. When she was 6 years old, she was traveling with her family in Iran where she met a shoeless homeless girl in the streets that was about her age. She made money by weighing people. After speaking with her for a few minutes, Angelina noticed the scars on the girl's feet and asked the girl what her dream is. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor but she couldn't because she had to make money for her family. Angelina did what came natural to her, she gave the little girl her shoes and told her to not give up on her dreams. Since then, Angelina has performed barefoot in honor of that little girl and to those who are less fortunate around the world. She keeps this promise to this day. One of the reasons why we love her so much!
I like her first “Gloomy Sunday” at Norway got talent
Screamin' Jay Hawkins would most certainly approve of this cover.
She does understand what she is doing she is very intelligent, several studies have shown that children exposed to music have higher levels of empathy, are more likely to feel high levels of empathy for other individuals and are better able to convey a high emotional response through music.
Blessed be this Jazzy Barefoot Princess...she puts a spell of love on us...
What you will soon realize is that Angelina today at 16 Angelina is already the best Jazz singer on the Planet! Soon to be one of the Best Vocalists of All Time. ♥👣👸🏻
Angelina won Norway's Got Talent when she was 8 yrs old after starting the competition at 7 yrs old. The youngest winner of any Got Talent show on the planet. She had to wait two years because you had to be 7 yrs old to enter. She started with a rendition of Billie Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday' which she just infused with Billie's soul. She followed this by another Billie classic with a pitch perfect rendition of 'I'm a Fool to Want You' acapella. Her next performance was a beautiful rendition of 'Bang, Bang' by Sonny & Cher and performed most famously by Nancy Sinatra. She won the competition with what I consider her first Masterpiece performance of 'Summertime' by George Gershwin. Shortly after winning she was designated a National Treasure by the Norwegian people. ♥👣👸🏻
There is video of Angelina recorded by her mother Sarah Astar singing a couple of lines of "I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston when she was 18 months old. She started studying all the greats of Jazz soon after under the guidance of her Iranian Grandmother Mery Zamani a child prodigy in her own right as an artist and poet. English is Angelina's 3rd language behind Norwegian and Farsi along with Japanese and some German and perhaps more. She did this from 2 & 3 yrs old by scrolling thru RUclips of all their most Iconic performance. Angelina doesn't just mimic these greats, she reinterprets them and then simply sings them the way they were meant to be sung. She makes them her own.
Angelina was begging her mother to go on "that Simon show" when she was 3 yrs old. encouraged to sing children songs, she would have none of that. Angelina chooses her own songs and she is absolutely fearless. No song is too big and no artist is too Iconic. All the most Iconic songs by the most Iconic singers in music history. Angelina has said singing to her is as important to her as breathing. ♥👣👸🏻
She will sing anything Acapella at any time and often does. Her Tic-Toc is full of these impromptu performances wherever she might be whether in the car, walking around the neighborhood or in a parking Garage. Accompanied by most often a simple guitar or piano her performances are always incredible. Add a band or even a full orchestra as in her performance for Quincy Jones at his request singing his arrangement of 'Fly Me to the Moon'. The same arrangement he did for Frank Sinatra. This opened for his 85th birthday celebration at the 02 Arena in London. ♥👣👸🏻
She is well known worldwide in the industry. Her family and Angelina have been holding back turning down many of the biggest in the industry while she finishes school. Remember she's only 16. They finally signed with Republic Records about two year ago after getting a deal that gave her control of her artistic vision and has since released 2 originals, 'Million Miles' & '7th Heaven' plus a soundtrack for the New Movie "The Hating Game" which opens with her song 'Mercy' performed most notably by Duffy. Republic has labeled her their Highest Priority and assigned a team to her including Rob Christy a multiple Grammy Winner, often on the piano in many of her performances and a whole team of equally qualified professionals. She has worked with some of the best musicians in the industry and always get exactly what she wants. They call her the Boss and have immense respect for her. She is due to release her 1st album promised by Angelin to be soon.
She has been diligently perfecting her craft since winning Norway's Got Talent singing all over the world, Germany, Japan, Korea as well as TV appearances such as The View, Little Big Shots and most notably America's Got Talent where she premiered her Iconic Performance of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' which Queen gave her the rights to record her own version available on ITunes and Spotify included on her Album 'Magic' which she released on her own along with a Christmas Song collection. She didn't win AGT because she would not sign with Simon. IMO. She has also sung for Many Heads of State including Barack Obama and for Quincy Jones 85th birthday at the 02 Arena in London and a couple songs opening for Norah Jones in Korea. She also sang at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert at 8 yrs old for Malala and another recipient. Mostly she has sung for charities helping raise millions for children charities and climate change. The great part is that most of it has been well documented often by herself and her family. Her Grandmother who introduced her to Jazz at 3 & 4 yrs old is behind the camera more than anyone else. Norway proclaimed her a National Treasure shortly after she won AGT. Love the reactions. Get ready for a deep dive. She is worth it! Love from the Land of Vikings and the home of the Kensington Runestone here in mid-Minnesota wherein lies a huge Norwegian population. ♥👣👸🏻
Believe it or not.....she does know what she's doing. After you've seen a few of her videos, you'll see.
Always fun seeing a real singer react to AJ for the first time. Especially with this performance. This girl is just one hit song from being a household name.
Angelina is the definition of an old soul.
she knows exactly what she is doing, that is why she is doing it, singing from her heart
❤ 💚 💜 Every time I hear Angelina sing this song, I picture her stepping out of an old black & white movie, to transport us back in time, so we can fall in love with these genuine masterpieces again! If there ever was a reason to believe in something greater than us, or in reincarnation, Angelina Jordan is definitely it. She truly has the rare ability to connect with us, from her soul to ours, through her music, so we not only hear her magical voice, but also, feel it too. Really enjoyed your raw, informative & emotional reaction** ❤ 💚 💜 ***ANGELINA JORDAN IS TRULY A BLESSING*** ❤ 💚 💜
Another of God's Gifts given into the Human world.
You just gave Angelina the greatest homer by calling her (" MISS" Jordan) thank you
Gloomy Sunday
Really this video of Angelina is to wonder how a 9 year old girl is able to do what she does in this video?
Thank you very much once again for your video and your contributions, it is always interesting to see how you make us see small details that go unnoticed to the uninitiated.
A big hug and keep it up... a whole world to discover with your help.
This kid knows "exactly" what she is doing. This certainly no "fluke" Anjelina's grandmother was huge jazz fan and exposed her to jazz records basically from birth. She is basically a jazz master even at this young age.
Welcome to our crowd of Angelina´s Angels! /Proud neighbour from Sweden
Angelina is from Norway and English is not her first language. Norways Got Talent winner 8 years ago at age 8. Been an angel fan since the first time I found her on youtube.
Welcome to the genius that is Angelina. Even at this young age of 9 she nails it.
English is her third language. She speaks Norwegian, swedish, Persian, Japanese and English.
And music! She speaks music best of all!

She also arranged the piece, too. Unbelievable!
She means what she says and she don’t care at the same time !
Wow, her first line gave me goosebumps
Welcome to the world of the barefoot princess. A absolute genius when it comes to music even at that young age, she arrange all her own music. She is absolutely an angel sent from heaven, you’re in for quite a lot with this young lady. As far as I’m concerned, I’m 54 years old and she is the best singer I’ve ever heard in my life and alive today and she is only 16 years old now. I cannot wait to see what the future brings with the barefoot princess.
Listen to her in studio at 6 yrs old singing I Who Have Nothing! amazing
*All of us Angels (as Angelina fans are called) follow Angelina whenever someone does a Reaction video to her. But YOU, made us see just how much more unique and special Angelina is with her extremely talented voice, to the point that we love and appreciate her even more so, if that's even possible.*
Angelina Jordan is nine years and two months old he speaks three languages English and third language it by five measurements she’s a child supposed to rain this whole song herself the man calls her the boss respectfully
Jess, someone else may have told you, but I think Angelina wrote the arrangement, and those notes at the beginning were last minute instructions for the band.
Music is in her bones bro. She was born with it.
Finally a lady who pronounces VIBRATO correctly
She is pretty insane talented ❤️ 9 years old and doing this masterpiece is pretty mindbogglin 😳😳❤️
🥰 Welcome to AJ, have fun 🥰
Angelina's family is truly multicultural. Her father is Swedish, her grandmother is from Iran and her grandfather was from Japan. Sara, Angelina's mother, lived for a time in Japan with her parents. Angelina was born in Norway but has spent part of her upbringing in the United States. Etc .... I also read about a reactor that worked with specially gifted children. He claimed that Angelina shows clear signs of belonging to that group of children. I have looked a little at what can characterize these "gifted" children. To me, Angelina appears as a clear member of the small group of the population. But of course that's just an assumption on my part.
How old are you?
@@Chris1969o Doesn’t matter.
We can see why she won Norway's Got Talent aged 7. 😉
lin Won at age 8.
"SOPRANO NOTES" NOTICES! - You picked up on so many subtleties of this performance. An excellent analysis, brava. Even questioning if English is Angelina's first language was right on point. English is Angelina's third language. She is Norwegian by birth from a Swedish father and a mother whose father is Japanese and mother, Iranian. Norwegian is her first language with Farsi being her second. Angelina is a true prodigy. You will receive a boat load of comments attesting to the prodigious accomplishments of this girl. She is not unique in her line. Her Iranian grandmother was a child prodigy in literature, poetry, and the visual arts. This grandmother was also a great fan of jazz and a constant presence in Angelina's life. By the time Angelina came out of the womb, she was listening to and absorbing jazz.
To produce this performance on a technical level means that Angelina had to have the ear to pick out these techniques from the music she listened to (an extraordinary accomplishment for a child). Then she had to have the "pipes" to reproduce these sounds, all at extraordinary speed of accomplishment. Beyond that, perhaps even way beyond that, is the interpretation. You hit on this aspect again and again in her performance. That is something way beyond imitation. Everything in this performance fit. There was not a single moment where you heard a gratuitous effect, no inappropriate, mindless melismatic run going all over the place. In terms of story telling, it was a perfect essay in music. This is where things get most interesting and most extraordinary.
Music is an analog of the spoken word, where each musical genre is a musical language with its unique vocabulary and grammar. But, mastering vocabulary and grammar is a far cry from story telling. Story telling is a life lived. It comes from lived experience. Or, so we all thought. But Angelina's sense of this idiom is so deep that she has soaked up the story telling aspect without having that lived experience. Absolutely incredible. How she does this, I haven't a clue. I doubt she could explain it herself. It's simply part of her genius.
A couple of things you didn't mention. You never cited Angelina for being "pitchy." She wasn't. Her intonation was flawless. If there had problems with pitch, you would have picked up on it in a heart beat. A second item is ensemble. Angelina performed completely as one of an ensemble of musicians performing this piece. Clearly, she stood out, while at the same time knowing her place.
Many listeners of Angelina comment on her tone. This video doesn't give you a broad enough perspective to appreciate that characteristic. The video that would, perhaps, do the most to fill in that gap is Angelina's audition for America's Got Talent - Champions edition, broadcast January 6, 2020. Angelina performs her own arrangement of the rock band Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody." Her most popular video. Stunning. I recommend that performance for your next Angelina reaction. It will fill in many additional spaces in this singers portfolio. Thank you. This visit with you was most enjoyable.
Her grandmother started her listening to classic jaz/blues singers like Billie Holiday from before she could walk. It soaked into her soul.
Your reaction was well worth the wait Jess! It's so enjoyable to have an incredible singer like yourself (I watched some of your videos before this reaction premiered) explaining an incredible singer like Angelina. Angelina started singing when she was one and a half, and won Norway's Got Talent in 2014 at eight years old. She was nine when she recorded this version of "I Put A Spell On You." Today she is sixteen and signed with Republic Records as their highest priority new artist. I first heard her sing on January 6th, 2020. It was her amazing performance of "Bohemian Rhapsody" on America's Got Talent, The Champions, and I have listened to her every day since then. She has dozens of mind-blowing performances out there for you to react to, so I can't wait to see your next one!
Ya her voice is INSANE. She sounds like a 25 yr old heartbroken woman.
Music, Norwegian, Farsi, English, Japanese
You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this reaction since you're the best at what you do. You'll get all kinds of suggestions on how to proceed as you go down this rabbit hole. Whatever you choose will be fine but if you choose to go back when she entered Norvay Got Talent at age 7 and won the contest do all four songs she performed as they are very short. You'll be blown away.
SHE IS PITCH PERFECT! strong voice! very pretty eyes as older!
her cover of "Stay" is magical
Because she is a musical genius who totally understands music and how to emote the emotions and feelings of a songs lyrics. Remember this is a tribute to Screaming Jay Hawkens original version that she arranged herself.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for playing this! Angelina puts the song/music and lyrics first. To convey the message of the text and music to the listener. That's what a real artist does! Angelina is a master at this. Then, of course, she has a huge toolbox with various voice tricks to pick out if she wants! Angelina doesn't focus on showing off with spectacular high or long notes etc! Unless it is required to convey a feeling to the listener. She doesn't belong to the type of singer who "look at me singing"
Real UAP!
Angelina
Is
Unexplainable Anomalous Phenomenon!
She is 17 now and is truly talented
She really shows off her skill set and talent in this one. A really incredible performance 😎
Angelina Jordan is 9 years old in this video. This is after she auditioned for and won Norway's Got Talent at age 7/8 with jazz. Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday" was her audition piece. Her first three languages are Norwegian, English, and Farsi, with the biggest emphasis on Norwegian and English. Along with that, exposure to and some speaking in Japanese, Swedish, German, and other languages close to Norway. In some ways, music is just another language. One breath for that last phrase and long powerful word perfectly enunciated. I'm ten hours after this reaction, so I'm sure the other fans (or angels) have filled you in on a ton. I have subscribed because I value your instructive vocabulary. In that one place a musician stopped the video and said, "Did I just hear her growl and slip into a whistle tone?" He replayed it. "Yes. She just growled, then slipped into the whistle tone." Anyway, thank you so much for this. I'm so glad I caught it---pretty randomly. Grandma Ellen, waving. 💜
ellen It wasn't a whistle note. It was an inhalation of breath which produced a squeal. The whistle register starts at D6. Angelina's vocal range doesn't go beyond the 5th octave.
@@103mrg , I don't know personally, but was quoting what a jazz musician called it.
*If you heard this song without the video, you would easily assume that she's a much older person, that's what blows my mind about Angelina, she can take on any voice that she pleases with conviction.*
This is something that many people say, but I'm not agree that she changes her voice so much. She always have a specific style, she has been growing an experimenting with many songs to get influences to add to her style, but for me it is not "change the voive", it's part of learning process (it's the same in any matter you can learn).
She understands "Fan-Freaking-tastically! @5:17 min. I believe that's a new word. 😆 🤣 😂!
