@@michaelgoyettemusic That ending is about as fine an ending as you are likely to ever hear. Didn't you feel like she wasn't going to make that 'big finish'? It's almost 8 years later and she is still surprising us. Her latest performance of 'Unchained Melody' at the Nobel Peace Prize show was truly another epic performance. Then there is her recent spate of original music that makes it seem like she has been writing songs for somebody else's lifetime. She has over 100 original songs written and ready.
Yes, at ten years old, already a seasoned professional. Her teacher? The only schooling in music was an after school program which taught theory and a couple of instruments. Several of her 6-7 year old videos were taken in that school studio. No one wanted, or was able, to teach Angelina to sing - they were afraid it would ruin her natural abilities. Angelina taught herself by listening to all of the greatest jazz singers of the past, thanks to her Grandma's extensive record/CD collection. But without innate talent, nearly perfect pitch, an angel's voice, a wonderful sense of rhythm, etc., she would be nowhere. And, every year of her life she has continued to perfect her musical abilities. Up to last year, she had only written 5 songs, and had two written for her to sing, but now she has come out with six or seven more, some in an album. She signed up with Universal Records when she was 14, and they said she was a "highest priority new artist." Now, at 18 years old, she has 10 years of performing behind her. Republic has built her her own studio too. She has already had one concert in the U.S., last fall, and has another scheduled for Las Vegas in February. I was lucky to have attended two of her concerts in Norway in 2022. She is the real deal!
YO. She’s an alien 😂 She covers Elvis Presley’s How Great Thou Art in such a low key i didn’t know a young girl was capable of. She is also just so self aware and confident with just the right amount of humility.
The way Angelina interacted with the camera when it did a 360 is simply fantastic. This was an amazing performance by any standard. In fact, all of Angelina's performances at age 10 are phenomenal....and she only gets better from here.
I ALWAYS look for that camera interaction every time I watch this! It is so amazing how mature and at ease she is with that slight eye tease to the camera. Her stage presence is mesmerizing, even at that age.
She was in front of the camera from the age of one and a half, so the camera would not intimidate her and by the age of 10 she had already mastered communicating with the camera.
The best version of this song that I’ve heard. Just magical. We shouldn’t forget that Angelina participated in many events in support of charitable organizations. This was an event held in support of "Plan International", a humanitarian and development organization with the goal of advancing children's rights and equality for girls around the world. "Foster Parents" sponsor needy children around the world with monetary pledges that go directly to helping the specific children whom they sponsored and are able to communicate with them via Plan International. The event was held on December 30, 2016 at Chateau Neuf Center in Oslo and broadcast on TV2. Angelina was one of several performers and delivered a stunning performance. Most of Angelina's performances after winning Norway Got Talent at age 8 were for children charitable organizations. This Amazing young lady with the big voice and bigger heart is 18 years old today and still performs barefoot to remember the shoeless girl that she met when she was 6 years old and to remind us all of the many needy children around the world. Thank you for this enjoyable reaction video.
@@103mrgYes, I believe I'm Still Holding Out For You was recorded on Jan 3, 2017, just 7 days before her 11th Birthday. She was really on a roll, those 2 songs are some of her best work at any age, imo.
What ten year old can command a band of this caliber like that. I love everything Angelina does but Im amazed at her abilities performing with live music. Whether a single guitar or complete orchestra, she is so comfortable singing with live instruments. Don't leave ten years old without reacting to I'M STILL HOLDING OUT FOR YOU, a ten year old should not be able to sing and interpret lyrics like that.
That one is a MUST-listen-to, so I second that - times 10. Even though it`s made only as a DEMO recording, it`s a masterpiece. Plane and simple. Angelina was likely the first ever to record that song (written by "BabyFuzz").
Angelina has actually said she taught herself to sing. When asked in an interview she admitted this, explaining “…at around two I started listening to videos on RUclips…”
Mr Nature himself taut little baby Angelina the minute she picked up that mike at 1.5 years old, I believe that thats when it happened. She was picked out to do what she is doing now, God just touched her with that microphone and that was that. All for our pleasure.
Angelina is a natural talent. She started singing at 1 1/2. What she does cannot be taught. You’re born with it. You either have it or you don’t. And she clearly does.
There's no teacher behind her. She's always working professionally with the musicians. With a part of this band she did a full concert feeling good tour in the following summer ⛱️ with unbelievable performances. She's on the right way to heaven. You can see her Life at 29th February Westgate Las Vegas 👌 the place where Elvis started his comeback 🫶
If you cut her videos before they finish you could miss some precious moments, like her curtsy at the end. In some cases, it's the way she smiles and waves goodbye, or it might be a standing ovation from the musicians.
At 2 y o if the family didn't watch her she was in her Mothers phone listening to Jazz Music... Its fair to say that her teachers were All the Jazz Greats. Specifically Billie Holiday ..Louis Armstrong.. Ella Fitzgerald ...Shirley Bassey etc. and this young lady learns what she's taught !!!
Appearently she's mostly self taught. Other coaches said, you can learn that. But you cant teach it. This video was the point she shedded the last remains of her kids voice. Her performances at 12/13 of California Dreaming, Million Years ago, Diamonds are forever and Its a mans world are totally eclipse the originals, letting the broadness and details of her voice really shine.
Michael. It’s pretty simple. Angelina is the best singer you will ever hear. That’s a huge statement, but just keep listening. She’s 18 now, and she continues to sing incredibly in many different genres. She’s the girl with a thousand voices, but you’ll know it’s Angelina from the first note. And from that first note, you’re hooked.

What struck me most about this performance was how restrained (in a good way) it was, letting the instruments provide the punch until the very end, when the fireworks went off!
Looking at this child singing I often find myself surprised she doesn't lose her timing, starting too soon or not holding a note long enough. But no, her timing is impeccable, better than most, even creative so many times in how she manipulates the timing of the song.
Angelina at age ten produced some otherworldly content. Here are a couple of examples: The fan made video was made two years after the audio recording and includes images of 12 tear old Angelina, but she was 10 when she recorded it. ANGELINA JORDAN I'm Still Holding out for You ( Fan made video ) ruclips.net/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/видео.html Angelina Jordan sings at Alan Walker is Heading Home LIVE STREAM ruclips.net/video/s5YLpTh4l9o/видео.html
Yo, Angelina went to the Oslo Waldorf for the arts. Shortly after this performance she released her first album with the Nowegian Armed Forces band: "It's Magic". In the summer of 2017 she did a series on concerts with the band on the stage with her in this performance. They were fantastic, especially her open number: "Loving You". After that she moved to Los Angeles to attend the Waldorf school there leading to a Golden Buzzer performance on AGT The Champions at age 13. A year later she signed with Republic where her mentor was and is Grammie winning Rob Christie, Republic's music director. Oh, another mentor was Quincy Jones, where she sang for his birthday at the O2 Arena. Angelina has worked with many great musicians too numerous to mention. And at the age of 18 she is making her debut in Las Vegas on Feb 29th 2024 at the Westgate Hotel on the same stage where Elvis closed out his career. I wish her all the success in the world. ❤
Just imagine the band's reaction as she kicked into the belting the ending! They're like, "she knows what she's doing -- this is going to be BIG! And she's 10 years old!!"
lurker She won NGT 2 years before, sang at the Nobel Peace Prize concert, was declared a national treasure, had several viral videos: I think the musicians knew who Angelina was!
Angelina credits Billie Holiday for what she is as a singer. In an interview she stated, 'If not for Billie Holiday, there would be no Angelina Jordan!' She has absorbed all the unique facets of Billie's vocalizing and Billie was the most improvisational singer of all time. Whether its phrasing, use of nuance and inflections, 'breathy', 'whisper-like' responses, and a host of other elements, once you listen to Billie's catalog of music, you come to understand why Angelina places Billie 'alone' at the top of the musical pedestal.
Another great reaction Michael! There are a couple of other AJ performances at age ten - all three are very different from each other - which are worthy for you to react to. The first is Angelina acting as the vocalist for Alan Walker's "Coming Home" concert in 2016 in Bergen, Norway at the end of one of his world tours: ruclips.net/video/wDTJUpBru7Q/видео.html . It is another great live performance by Angelina.
The second is a song you will never have heard of: "I Keep Holding Out for You" by Baby Fuzz. Before Fuzz recorded it, a backing tape was sent out to a few artists to make a demo. One copy was sent to Angelina, she put her own spin on it and made a demo of it. Because of the lyrics (you will see why) her family did not want it released. A leaked copy fell into the hands of an Angelina fan, and he made a video of Angelina shots aged 8-12 to go with the demo track, which was released 2-3 years after it was originally recorded by AJ. Angelina's family are now comfortable with the song being out there, and frankly, it is an astonishing studio performance for any ten year old: ruclips.net/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/видео.html .
She’s got ya my friend! She gets most in the end 😁 Oh my freekin God just about sums her up! She’s not normal at all in all the very best ways! Your reaction meant so much given your experience working with young vocalists..more than most you can appreciate the extraordinary nature of Angelina’s talent. Thanks 🙏
Feeling Good Angelina Jordan (10 Year Old) - Feeling Good "LIVE on The Stream Gir Tilbake" At only 10 years old, Angelina Jordan delivered a stunning rendition of "Feeling Good" with a talented band on live television. Her voice was powerful, soulful and expressive, surpassing any other version of this song. How many of us can say we achieved such a feat at that age? This performance is simply incredible and showcases her extraordinary talent. “Feeling Good” was originally written by Anthony Newley, Leslie Bricusse and its first performer, Cy Grant. The song was written for a 1964 musical. That musical was entitled The Roar of the Greasepaint - The Smell of the Crowd. Nina Simone released her version in June of 1965. It appeared on her album I Put a Spell on You. Although various artists have also covered this song throughout the decades, Simone’s rendition by and large has remained the most popular. Simone’s version of this song was produced by Hal Mooney.
Angelina 's teacher had to be God himself, she was indued with this from her birth, no one, as you duly know, could teach a 10-year-old to do this at this level of vocal mastery and performance. Angelina is an anomaly in the music world no one I have ever heard comes up to her abilities at her young ages.
@@ckh57 Until the age of 10, Angelina imitated the original singers as part of her learning process, sometimes very closely. From the age of 11 she began to use her own style, often better than the original.
@@FlyingAngel0638 You forgot about her own arrangement of 'I put A spell on you' at just 9years old , which was in keeping with Screaming Jay Hawkins, but was unlike any one elses , no imitation , complete original from her based on the original. I do not see her or hear as an imitator to any degree. cheers!!
Michael thank you for this wonderful reaction to this amazing performance by Angelina. Her very own reading of this classic, which she has developed on her own, is sensational not only for a 10-year-old girl, but for an adult as well, there is not only her understanding of the musical texture of the song, but also the ability to change it in a very unique way. I'm adding a link to one of his piano practice sessions in a backstage, for this song already 2 years before this show (at just 8 years old). This girl's natural talent is simply unreal. 💛🧡❤ ruclips.net/video/nQbyK_frFiw/видео.html
Michael, thanks for your reaction. Angelina's performances as a preteen will stand the test of time. Around 130 covers from about 80 different artists and 3 original songs before age 13. Now at 18, she has informed us she has written more than 100 songs and we have been blessed with 12 so far. Here is the list. "What is Life" first sung at age 11. We don't know how old she was when she wrote each song. Age presented is her age when she first sang it. "Oslo" age 11 "Shield" age 12 "Million Miles" age 14 we know she wrote this one in the days after her maternal grandfather passed in 2019 when she was 13 "7th Heaven" age 15 "Love Don't Let Me Go" age 17 "Now I'm the Fool" age 17 "Fire and Rain" age 17 "It's All My Fault" age 17 "Good in Goodbyes" age 17 "Diamond" age 17 "Our Time" age 17 Should include songs for which she was the first to sing "I'm Still Holding Out for You" age 10 .... considered one of her best vocal performances by many "Song for A" age 12 "Above the Water" a EDM song released near her 14th birthday "We're the Best" sung with RedOne at the FIFA Awards February 27, 2023 Angelina wrote new lyrics for two famous songs by Amy Winehouse, "Back to Black" and "Rehab" since it was inappropriate for a preteen to sing the original lyrics. For "Back to Black" Angelina wrote the new lyrics in the 24 hours prior to the recording, then needed just two takes.
Right off the bat her poise and confidence is front and center and the moment is never too big for her. She sings for her audience and she wants them to be happy, have hope and feel her love. As a 10 year older? No one like her. The tone of her voice? Did you ever go shopping for a new car? When the salesman puts you in the drivers seat and says to you, "Let's take it for a spin, okay?" That feeling you get behind the wheel is the feeling all of us get when we listen to Angelina sing. Did you see that moment when the camera came circling around her and she looked right at it and gave it that half smile she is already famous for? Perhaps 'astonishing' is a word to throw out there to describe what we just heard. She is physically 10 but, my goodness, her musical genius is one of a longtime veteran performer and the most intriguing aspect of the whole package which is Angelina Jordan is she is very GENUINE and we feel her love and our hearts cannot resist. When she hit 10, like you, the industry took notice and realized this was more than a sensational kid singer, this was a generational performer, a once in a lifetime talent whose future will be so bright it's almost scary to believe the effect she will have 'on the human race'!!!!!! Well, she's now 18 and the roots are strong as ever and she will in Concert in Las Vegas for 2 Shows on Feb 29th. At that time, for those who haven't discovered her yet, it's their time to take notice of this born to sing, humble, kind, caring and loving human being who will take listeners into her world when she sings with a voice so intoxicating it's breathtaking!
Yo Michael. I think you're beginning to see why we Angels are so obsessed with her talent. As you're a music teacher, I think you'd really appreciate her one-take recording of I'm A Fool To Want You at age 11. It was for her first full album It's Magic, and most of the take made it into the final mix. The video I'm suggesting was shot right in the vocal booth by her grandma Mery and is heartbreakingly beautiful. Here's a link: ruclips.net/video/79tM-Spcr1Q/видео.html
Great reaction. You asked who’s her teacher. The truth is no one. Angelina is basically self taught. From what we understand she has never had any formal vocal training or a voice coach. As far as we know the only vocal instruction she has had was for how to protect her voice. She was introduced to jazz music at a very young age by her jazz fan grandmother. By 3 years old she was studying the jazz greats on RUclips videos.
A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice. As usual, a vocal master piece. Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman. Angelina started singing around 18 months of age, after listening to Whitney Houston on RUclips. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was a prodigy as an artist and poet while growing up in Iran. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where starting around age 4, she had training in music but no vocal training. Her teachers were smart enough to not attempt to change what she was doing vocally. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage. Why Angelina always performs barefoot At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. PLEASE PURCHASE Angelina’s book from her merchandise store on her official website, angelinajordanofficial Angelina, at age 6 and 7, did record a few songs in a recording studio at her school, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old. At age 7, Angelina’s audition on Norway’s Got Talent, was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried. Angelina had turned 8 years old for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them. In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. When asked what she would like to do with the prize money she won (500,000 kroner or about $80,000), Angelina replied, “I want to give it to the poor children”. Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on RUclips went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old. In December 2014, Angelina realized a life-long desire to sing at the Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration which is part of the Noble Peace Prize celebration. Angelina’s family took her to United States, Brazil, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea, Singapore among other corners of Earth, to perform for heads of state and to help raise money for charity. All before Angelina turned 14. At age 9, Angelina recorded a music video covering the 1956 Jay Hawkin’s classic, “I Put a Spell On You”. The video begins by showing Angelina writing her “wishes” for how she wants to perform the song. Angelina has always created her own arrangements for her cover songs. At age 10 and just a week before her 11th birthday, Angelina recorded a demo of “I’m Still Holding Out for You”. Her family never pursued having that recording officially released but someone leaked it on a RUclips video. Thankfully, everyone involved with that song is now ok with the leaked version. Many angels (fans) believe this is one of Angelina’s best performances. When Angelina was 11, she performed a number of concerts in Norway with a jazz/rock band. Those concerts included up to 14 songs, each remarkably performed. Angelina seems to be at her best when on stage, never nervous, only 100% confident. Also at age 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed Frank Sinatra “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. She has said that was the high point of her young career which was already in it’s 6th year. During 2018, Angelina lost her paternal grandfather, her friend Avicii and one of her idols, Aretha Franklin. She did a moving tribute for each. In 2019, Angelina accepted an invitation to compete in the 2nd season of America’s Got Talent (AGT), The Champions. She had, since age 3, wanted to perform for Simon Cowell and she earned his praise with her genius arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The surviving members of Queen loved it so much they put a link to it on their Twitter. Angelina was eliminated after covering Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT. Angelina, before age 14, had covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, spanning at least 8 genres, all of which are available on RUclips. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On RUclips, search on The Complete Works of Angelina Jordan as Rusty Shackleford has put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video. The pandemic hit shortly after her performances on AGT and likely caused a change of plans by her family, most notably her Uncle Michael who is her manager. Her family agreed to a contract with Republic Records in August 2020. Republic Records declared Angelina Jordan their highest priority new artist. Reportedly her family requested Republic to allow her as normal a childhood as possible and therefore have yet to fully promote her. During the pandemic, Angelina was often seen buying meals for the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. In November 2020, Angelina released “Million Miles” which she wrote after the passing of her beloved maternal grandfather. She dedicated the song to anyone who has ever lost a loved one. Angelina had previously released, 3 other original songs: “What is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” In April 2021, her original “7th Heaven” was released. A jazzy, danceable, inspiring song. Angelina has posted numerous short performances on Tik Tok and Instagram. Angelina had concerts in Norway in July 2022. In December 2022, Angelina performed at the Asian American Awards in Los Angeles. On 2/27/23, Angelina performed at the FIFA Awards ceremony in Paris, France, with a viewing audience in the millions. On May 5th, 2023, Angelina released her original "Love Don't Let Me Go". On July 23th she released her orginal EP “Old Enough”. Angelina perform Concert at the Music Hall in Portsmouth New Hampshire on Sept 22nd, 2023. It Was a great concert, who was not and could regret it, a big mistake. On 10/27/23 she released her new orginal singiel “Our Time”. In November 2023, she was presented as a debutante at Le Bal des débutantes in Paris. On 12/08/23 she released new Marry Christmas EP “Driving Home for Christmas”. On 12/10/23 she sing in Oslo at the Nobel Peace Prize Celebration - Unchained Melody tribute to 2023 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Iranian human rights activist Narges Mohammadi.
I wish Angelina would create studios for gifted children of all levels to learn her process to further the elevation of American music in the arts.❤❤❤🙏😇 . They could import water refreshments from Norway.
Yo... you are absolutely correct. Angelina is not normal , average or even mediocre. I am enjoying your journey with this musical genius. I have followed Angelina for years and watch reactions to her everyday. You cannot deny the talent that is so effortlessly on display everytime she pays homage to a great one with her own imprint all over it. I live in Western Canada and traveled 3000 miles to see this beautiful musical creature live in Portsmouth NH September 22 2023. Spectacular and being the Prodigy she is every time her Grandma Mary put on a legend Angelina soaked up all the musical nuances to shape to her own unique abilities. Keep it up dude your analysis 👌 Bluesfingers1 ("The Music of Everything ")
Mike,enjoyed watching you ride the music. SO, welcome to the Marvel Club of Angelina Jordan. Tie a ropeatthe top of this Rabbit Hole. You will need it to come up for a breather at times
Angelina greatly respects the song she chooses to sing and also the original artist, at 11 years old (lovin you) it is incredible. thanks from Argentina 🇦🇷
Dear Michael - thanks so much for your 'reaction' and wise comments - I loved them. I sensed you would cut the video short! :) being so moved. I suggest you now watch the last few seconds - you'll spot delight in the last second. j in nz.
AJ's first teacher was called Billie - Billie Holiday. She sang and Angelina absorbed the music. There's no explaining it. Thanks for a great reaction. You'll have fun if you move ahead in age like this. Next stop, I suggest Diamonds Are Forever or Cry Me a River, both from the Proysenfestivalen at age 11. There are 'sound enhanced' videos out there which adjust somewhat for the fact that it's recorded live on an iPhone, but her voice is true.
"Together with you is our favorite place to be.!!!" - Miss. Angelina Jordan Angel Fan's Family Worldwide "We Thank U - Mr. Michael Goyette - All Great"
Hi Michael, Don't worry - and don't think you're a bad teacher! Angelina is an absolutely exceptional talent. She started singing at the age of 3 and had lessons in the after-school program at the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts from the age of 4/5. When she was about 14/15 years old, the teachers there told her that they couldn't teach her anything anymore because she had already learned everything they taught... Have fun exploring all the other stuff of Angelina Jordan, CU in your next reaction to her Andreas 😎
When she turned 14 she had already lived in LA for 2 years.. The story is that when she was little, back in Norway, she received music tuition, piano and singing lessons and musical theory lessons but no "vocal coaching" because coaching is for changing the voice - which nobody wanted in her case. 🙂
Michael, I, too, am amazed by this performance. However, I am just as amazed by her performance of I Put a Spell on You at age 9. How mind blowing is this: she arranged the production of both. Our angel is a musical genius. She has sung amazingly at all ages.❤❤❤😊😊
Not to bragbut i just got a ticket to see Angelina Jordan in Las Vegas on February 29th. I've never been so excited in my life to see someone in concert. I feel blessed.
It's amazing to see people who have a natural gift ! For some it's sports , others it's art or mathematics , they stand out because it's NOT normal ! I'm in my sixties and have heard my share of singers ......this kid easily fall into that category ! Go Angelina !
… Even if I keep repeating myself...nobody sings this song better than Angelina...nobody!! I can't find the words to describe how perfectly it is sung!! So perfect... world class... the orchestra is also sensational!! ✨💎✨ Thank you
I guess you might expearience a total "melt-down" if you listen and react to her rendition of "Every Time We Say Goodbye", live for a norwegian morning TV show. Also at 10 yo.
Thank you for another reaction to Angelina, but please, please do not stop the video until the end, as you will often miss something which will help you to understand Angelina a little better. In my opinion, she is the best singer in the world, and there are thousands of others who would agree with me. Every moment you spend featuring her on your channel will being you great emotional satisfaction. There are so many things I get from this performance. Some I recognised immediately and those I missed were brought to my attention by the more observant Angelina fans (her Angels) and I thank them for letting me know what I had missed. (1) The realisation that at the age of 10 Angelina has shed all childishness from her voice. (2) A feeling that the placement of the spotlight at the beginning of her performance was deliberate. If it was, then, to my mind, it was a brilliant move. (3) The fact that Angelina arranged this song and that the band kept out of the way and let her voice be the focus. (4) The incredible low note she sang for the word "good" at the beginning and end of the performance. (5) That wonderful crescendo at the end. (6) The was Angelina used her left arm and hand throughout the performance (7) The way she changed the microphone from her right hand to left hand, so that she could flip her hair back with her right hand. (8) The cheeky smile she gave to the cameraman when she realised he had focused on her at about 4.44 in your reaction video. (9) The sideways look and grin she gives to her instrumentalists just after she curtsies to the audience -- as if to say, "Yeah, we killed it, guys! Now let's go get some ice cream!" (10) The almost instantaneous switch from "performance" mode to that of a young child who, curtseyed and gave a sweet smile to the audience as an acknowledgement of their applause. Others have commented that the performance by Nina Simone should be considered the "gold" standard for this song. Until recently, I had never watched her performance, but have now done so. They just cannot be compared, for Angelina's arrangement is totally different
Nunca he sido de hacerme fan incondicional de ningún artista, excepto con Angelina, desde que la descubrí con su versión de "I put spell on you" no puedo ni quiero dejar de escucharla y verla. Definitivamente me ha hechizado, para mi es la mejor intérprete que he conocido, larga vida a la reina🤗🙏👸
YO! Michael 😊 I love your reactions to Angelina, as you really understand what you're witnessing. Not understanding HOW she is able to do what she does is perfectly normal. Continue your reactions to her, because you're in for the musical journey of your life, no kidding. I'm looking forward to more! Much love from Norway 🇸🇯❤️❤️❤️
I almost envy you for all the unforgettable moments Angelina has given us over the years which you don't have seen yet. In one of these, she performed in Stockholm in 2014. Angelina was 8 years old, and the concert's purpose was to raise money for victims of bullying. Just before the concert, she fell ill, with a severe cold with fever. It was recommended that she cancel, but Angelina refused. She didn't want to let the organizer and the fans down. She does a version of MJ's "I'll Be There" which, given the setting above, is one of the most impressive and beautiful performances I've ever seen. Could you please react to this one? ❤
Speaking of 10 yr old prodigy's Australian guitarist Taj Farrant is already one of the great talents & is a future super star ! Now 14 & presently touring in America again,he can play like Prince or Stevie Ray Vaughan with style & precision well beyond his years. I'm sure as a guitarist you'll be blown away by the child that Carlos Santana invited to share the stage with him at the Hard Rock Cafe !!!
About three years ago, I listened only to Angelina Jordan for two weeks and accepted she is a gift to humanity. I bet, If the whole world can have a Angels day, where only her music is played, she can change humanity to a better being.
Angelina Jordan 18 years old Her next concert is in Las Vegas at Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, on February 29, 2024, (2 concerts) she is a vocal prodigy, at 18 years old she is already considered one of the best singers of all time, the record label on which Angelina Jordan is his High Priority artist since age 14, Republic Records, a division of Universal Music. Group, the world's leading music company, has been recognized by Billboard as the industry's number one label for the past 10 years. (Ariana Grande, Anitta, Taylor Swift, Pearl Jam, Post Malone, Seth MacFarlane, Shania Twain, Stephen Sanchez, Stevie Wonder, Tainy, Wekeen, Conan Gray, Daddy Yankee, Drake, Eddie Vedder...etc, etc) Republic Record gave him an exclusive studio just for Angelina Jordan in Los Angeles. California, where he currently resides, Mexico
Thanks for a great reaction. I enjoy these best when a knowledgeable person gives their opinion. You absolutely nailed this. She is brilliant and her latest music takes jazz and gives it a modern twist making the sound relevant to today’s generation.
Yeah you mentioned 7 years old she wowed the judges singing Billy Holidays Gloomy Sunday.. with her incredible interpretation of a Hungarian Suicide Song her star was set. Truly and uniquely beautiful. Thanks for a great channel. May you r path always rise up to greet you!
Yeah,she’s pretty spectacular… can’t believe she didn’t win Americas Got Talent… I don’t know of a better vocalist/singer in the world… her range is bottom to Top!!! I love her and I hope to see her sing live !!!
It is my belief she and her family knew she would not win strictly because they would not sign with Simon C. He does not like losing and that was his way of saying so. Even Howie M. Mentioned the voting of super fan ie the panel or show owners that all have fingers in the pot. They pick the winners and get royalties when the sign on.
Thank you Michael for a great reaction this is so much fun for us watching someone discovering AJ , most of us have seen her perform this hundreds and hundreds of times it is amazing her own arrangement too , and still amazing , she makes everything look like a walk in the park, no not normal , there have been many great child singers but not like her she has never really sounded like a child and her choices of songs have been unique for her age , her vocal and musical abilities are off the charts , but she never shows off , it is what she feels the song deserves and how to get the meaning and the feeling out of it . Once she has the mic she is ageless, vocally timeless, and is now a blending of genres , her voice is whatever she wants it to be, she has been such a joy. a continuous surprise, no other artist has ever touched me like her, when she sings you get her heart and soul and what a grand beautiful heart she has.💗👣
She's rare. She's a music prodigy. I hear she's never had vocal lessons because they didn't want her vocals messed with how ever she studied music throry. She was just born with a beautiful gift.
Angelina is a super star vocalist, very minor teaching, she is known as the little master / bass by band members as she controls everything with her talent and requirements.
Hi, Angelina Jordan was self taught she would listen to RUclips and take lesson from RUclips. She would go to the jazz bar and play piano and get a piano lessons and singing those songs other than that she just self taught that she went to 56 grade after school program For saying, but she wanted sing jazz or sing jazz at one and a half years of age as progressed and older voices got more and more mature age. She was selling singing to sell our crowd while she sang them. Young people fan is massive. got 2 billion views on RUclips.
Who teaches Angelina? Artists like Billie Holiday, Etta James, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Dinah Washington, Ella Fitzgerald and Elvis Presley.
Angelina is a student at the RUclips Music School. 😊
Exactly so. But then Angelina interprets each song the way she wants sing it. Simply beyond. 😎
Yep! She has it all! She doesn’t have a teacher, she was born with her talent! She always makes me feel good!
The best rendition of this song ever !!!
I won’t argue that point!! ❤️
@@michaelgoyettemusic That ending is about as fine an ending as you are likely to ever hear. Didn't you feel like she wasn't going to make that 'big finish'? It's almost 8 years later and she is still surprising us. Her latest performance of 'Unchained Melody' at the Nobel Peace Prize show was truly another epic performance. Then there is her recent spate of original music that makes it seem like she has been writing songs for somebody else's lifetime. She has over 100 original songs written and ready.
She sings the Avicii version he one year prior with another singer. Then he made a Volvo ad where he used this song. He invited AJ to sing part of it.
Nobody teaches her...she's the teacher...she's taught me...she's teaching you now
Yes, at ten years old, already a seasoned professional. Her teacher? The only schooling in music was an after school program which taught theory and a couple of instruments. Several of her 6-7 year old videos were taken in that school studio. No one wanted, or was able, to teach Angelina to sing - they were afraid it would ruin her natural abilities. Angelina taught herself by listening to all of the greatest jazz singers of the past, thanks to her Grandma's extensive record/CD collection. But without innate talent, nearly perfect pitch, an angel's voice, a wonderful sense of rhythm, etc., she would be nowhere. And, every year of her life she has continued to perfect her musical abilities. Up to last year, she had only written 5 songs, and had two written for her to sing, but now she has come out with six or seven more, some in an album. She signed up with Universal Records when she was 14, and they said she was a "highest priority new artist." Now, at 18 years old, she has 10 years of performing behind her. Republic has built her her own studio too. She has already had one concert in the U.S., last fall, and has another scheduled for Las Vegas in February. I was lucky to have attended two of her concerts in Norway in 2022. She is the real deal!
Republic Records, owned by Universal Music Group
Angelina is a student at the RUclips Music School. 😊
Actually, she does have perfect pitch… not almost 😅.
YO. She’s an alien 😂 She covers Elvis Presley’s How Great Thou Art in such a low key i didn’t know a young girl was capable of. She is also just so self aware and confident with just the right amount of humility.
Incredible
This is a MUST to react!

The way Angelina interacted with the camera when it did a 360 is simply fantastic. This was an amazing performance by any standard. In fact, all of Angelina's performances at age 10 are phenomenal....and she only gets better from here.
I ALWAYS look for that camera interaction every time I watch this! It is so amazing how mature and at ease she is with that slight eye tease to the camera. Her stage presence is mesmerizing, even at that age.
She was in front of the camera from the age of one and a half, so the camera would not intimidate her and by the age of 10 she had already mastered communicating with the camera.
Exacto 👍@@FlyingAngel0638
The best version of this song that I’ve heard. Just magical.
We shouldn’t forget that Angelina participated in many events in support of charitable organizations.
This was an event held in support of "Plan International", a humanitarian and development organization with the goal of advancing children's rights and equality for girls around the world. "Foster Parents" sponsor needy children around the world with monetary pledges that go directly to helping the specific children whom they sponsored and are able to communicate with them via Plan International.
The event was held on December 30, 2016 at Chateau Neuf Center in Oslo and broadcast on TV2.
Angelina was one of several performers and delivered a stunning performance.
Most of Angelina's performances after winning Norway Got Talent at age 8 were for children charitable organizations.
This Amazing young lady with the big voice and bigger heart is 18 years old today and still performs barefoot to remember the shoeless girl that she met when she was 6 years old and to remind us all of the many needy children around the world.
Thank you for this enjoyable reaction video.
Well said David. I knew she was late-10 in this, but I didn't know it was only 11 days before her 11th Birthday.
@@keithserafy And I believe she recorded I'm Still Holding Out....either days before or after this.
@@103mrgYes, I believe I'm Still Holding Out For You was recorded on Jan 3, 2017, just 7 days before her 11th Birthday. She was really on a roll, those 2 songs are some of her best work at any age, imo.
ruclips.net/video/bWzovINwPt8/видео.htmlsi=11xB-30FLs-VhCrA
What ten year old can command a band of this caliber like that. I love everything Angelina does but Im amazed at her abilities performing with live music. Whether a single guitar or complete orchestra, she is so comfortable singing with live instruments.
Don't leave ten years old without reacting to I'M STILL HOLDING OUT FOR YOU, a ten year old should not be able to sing and interpret lyrics like that.
That one is a MUST-listen-to, so I second that - times 10. Even though it`s made only as a DEMO recording, it`s a masterpiece. Plane and simple. Angelina was likely the first ever to record that song (written by "BabyFuzz").
I don't know many adult singers who could do the same as she did here..
Angelina has actually said she taught herself to sing. When asked in an interview she admitted this, explaining “…at around two I started listening to videos on RUclips…”
She actually also said that she was influenced by her grandmother listening to "jazz".. lol
And, just for the record, she has worked with vocal coaches, presumably to make sure she didn't fall into any bad habits.
Name just one other child at this age who sounds as good as Angelina. None other, period
Angelina is very very special. I honestly feel very lucky to be living in the period of history call AA...After Angelina ❤❤❤❤❤
Mr Nature himself taut little baby Angelina the minute she picked up that mike at 1.5 years old,
I believe that thats when it happened. She was picked out to do what she is doing now, God just touched her with that microphone and that was that. All for our pleasure.
Don't want to scare you, but she gets better every year to present! lol
Angelina is a natural talent. She started singing at 1 1/2. What she does cannot be taught. You’re born with it. You either have it or you don’t. And she clearly does.
There's no teacher behind her. She's always working professionally with the musicians. With a part of this band she did a full concert feeling good tour in the following summer ⛱️ with unbelievable performances. She's on the right way to heaven.
You can see her Life at 29th February Westgate Las Vegas 👌 the place where Elvis started his comeback 🫶
I’ve read she has no vocal teacher; only coaching on how to protect her voice and music theory.
If you cut her videos before they finish you could miss some precious moments, like her curtsy at the end. In some cases, it's the way she smiles and waves goodbye, or it might be a standing ovation from the musicians.
At 2 y o if the family didn't watch her she was in her Mothers phone listening to Jazz Music... Its fair to say that her teachers were All the Jazz Greats. Specifically Billie Holiday ..Louis Armstrong.. Ella Fitzgerald ...Shirley Bassey etc. and this young lady learns what she's taught !!!
Appearently she's mostly self taught.
Other coaches said, you can learn that. But you cant teach it.
This video was the point she shedded the last remains of her kids voice.
Her performances at 12/13 of California Dreaming, Million Years ago, Diamonds are forever and Its a mans world are totally eclipse the originals, letting the broadness and details of her voice really shine.
Shes from Norway English is his 3rd language the future queen of jazz thanks bro.
Michael. It’s pretty simple. Angelina is the best singer you will ever hear. That’s a huge statement, but just keep listening. She’s 18 now, and she continues to sing incredibly in many different genres. She’s the girl with a thousand voices, but you’ll know it’s Angelina from the first note. And from that first note, you’re hooked.

Yep, she's unreal
@@briangill4000 ❤️❤️
You haven't deciphered my email yet?
What struck me most about this performance was how restrained (in a good way) it was, letting the instruments provide the punch until the very end, when the fireworks went off!
Yo. Yeah she's special.
Can anyone be better than Angelina at ten? No way, something in Norwegian water 💦 😊
Looking at this child singing I often find myself surprised she doesn't lose her timing, starting too soon or not holding a note long enough. But no, her timing is impeccable, better than most, even creative so many times in how she manipulates the timing of the song.
Angelina at age ten produced some otherworldly content. Here are a couple of examples:
The fan made video was made two years after the audio recording and includes images of 12 tear old Angelina, but she was 10 when she recorded it.

She's addictive.
Yo, Angelina went to the Oslo Waldorf for the arts. Shortly after this performance she released her first album with the Nowegian Armed Forces band: "It's Magic".
In the summer of 2017 she did a series on concerts with the band on the stage with her in this performance. They were fantastic, especially her open number: "Loving You". After that she moved to Los Angeles to attend the Waldorf school there leading to a Golden Buzzer performance on AGT The Champions at age 13. A year later she signed with Republic where her mentor was and is Grammie winning Rob Christie, Republic's music director.
Oh, another mentor was Quincy Jones, where she sang for his birthday at the O2 Arena. Angelina has worked with many great musicians too numerous to mention. And at the age of 18 she is making her debut in Las Vegas on Feb 29th 2024 at the Westgate Hotel on the same stage where Elvis closed out his career. I wish her all the success in the world. ❤
Her last year of school, was at the LA School of Performing Arts, in 2023.
Just imagine the band's reaction as she kicked into the belting the ending! They're like, "she knows what she's doing -- this is going to be BIG! And she's 10 years old!!"
lurker She won NGT 2 years before, sang at the Nobel Peace Prize concert, was declared a national treasure, had several viral videos: I think the musicians knew who Angelina was!
The musicians called her 'The Boss' because she knows what she doing.
@@FlyingAngel0638 And she is not afraid to tell them what she wants or is working toward as she arranges the music.
Thanks for the reaction to our angel Angelina...she is simply the best...👍👏
Angelina credits Billie Holiday for what she is as a singer. In an interview she
stated, 'If not for Billie Holiday, there would be no Angelina Jordan!' She has
absorbed all the unique facets of Billie's vocalizing and Billie was the most
improvisational singer of all time. Whether its phrasing, use of nuance and
inflections, 'breathy', 'whisper-like' responses, and a host of other elements,
once you listen to Billie's catalog of music, you come to understand why
Angelina places Billie 'alone' at the top of the musical pedestal.
She is about to blow up the Grammys
This young lady is awesome
Another great reaction Michael! There are a couple of other AJ performances at age ten - all three are very different from each other - which are worthy for you to react to. The first is Angelina acting as the vocalist for Alan Walker's "Coming Home" concert in 2016 in Bergen, Norway at the end of one of his world tours: ruclips.net/video/wDTJUpBru7Q/видео.html . It is another great live performance by Angelina.
The second is a song you will never have heard of: "I Keep Holding Out for You" by Baby Fuzz. Before Fuzz recorded it, a backing tape was sent out to a few artists to make a demo. One copy was sent to Angelina, she put her own spin on it and made a demo of it. Because of the lyrics (you will see why) her family did not want it released. A leaked copy fell into the hands of an Angelina fan, and he made a video of Angelina shots aged 8-12 to go with the demo track, which was released 2-3 years after it was originally recorded by AJ. Angelina's family are now comfortable with the song being out there, and frankly, it is an astonishing studio performance for any ten year old: ruclips.net/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/видео.html .
She’s got ya my friend! She gets most in the end 😁 Oh my freekin God just about sums her up! She’s not normal at all in all the very best ways! Your reaction meant so much given your experience working with young vocalists..more than most you can appreciate the extraordinary nature of Angelina’s talent. Thanks 🙏
Feeling Good
Angelina Jordan (10 Year Old) - Feeling Good "LIVE on The Stream Gir Tilbake" At only 10 years old, Angelina Jordan delivered a stunning rendition of "Feeling Good" with a talented band on live television. Her voice was powerful, soulful and expressive, surpassing any other version of this song. How many of us can say we achieved such a feat at that age? This performance is simply incredible and showcases her extraordinary talent.
“Feeling Good” was originally written by Anthony Newley, Leslie Bricusse and its first performer, Cy Grant. The song was written for a 1964 musical. That musical was entitled The Roar of the Greasepaint - The Smell of the Crowd. Nina Simone released her version in June of 1965. It appeared on her album I Put a Spell on You. Although various artists have also covered this song throughout the decades, Simone’s rendition by and large has remained the most popular. Simone’s version of this song was produced by Hal Mooney.
Angelina 's teacher had to be God himself, she was indued with this from her birth, no one, as you duly know, could teach a 10-year-old to do this at this level of vocal mastery and performance. Angelina is an anomaly in the music world no one I have ever heard comes up to her abilities at her young ages.
Angelina is a student at RUclips Music School.😊
@@FlyingAngel0638 True, but not to teach her how to sing, that is all Angelina. A voice teacher would have destroyed her unique singing.
@@ckh57 Until the age of 10, Angelina imitated the original singers as part of her learning process, sometimes very closely.
From the age of 11 she began to use her own style, often better than the original.
@@FlyingAngel0638 You forgot about her own arrangement of 'I put A spell on you' at just 9years old , which was in keeping with Screaming Jay Hawkins, but was unlike any one elses , no imitation , complete original from her based on the original. I do not see her or hear as an imitator to any degree. cheers!!

Michael thank you for this wonderful reaction to this amazing performance by Angelina. Her very own reading of this classic, which she has developed on her own, is sensational not only for a 10-year-old girl, but for an adult as well, there is not only her understanding of the musical texture of the song, but also the ability to change it in a very unique way. I'm adding a link to one of his piano practice sessions in a backstage, for this song already 2 years before this show (at just 8 years old). This girl's natural talent is simply unreal. 💛🧡❤

Michael, thanks for your reaction. Angelina's performances as a preteen will stand the test of time. Around 130 covers from about 80 different artists and 3 original songs before age 13. Now at 18, she has informed us she has written more than 100 songs and we have been blessed with 12 so far. Here is the list.
"What is Life" first sung at age 11. We don't know how old she was when she wrote each song. Age presented is her age when she first sang it.
"Oslo" age 11
"Shield" age 12
"Million Miles" age 14 we know she wrote this one in the days after her maternal grandfather passed in 2019 when she was 13
"7th Heaven" age 15
"Love Don't Let Me Go" age 17
"Now I'm the Fool" age 17
"Fire and Rain" age 17
"It's All My Fault" age 17
"Good in Goodbyes" age 17
"Diamond" age 17
"Our Time" age 17
Should include songs for which she was the first to sing
"I'm Still Holding Out for You" age 10 .... considered one of her best vocal performances by many
"Song for A" age 12
"Above the Water" a EDM song released near her 14th birthday
"We're the Best" sung with RedOne at the FIFA Awards February 27, 2023
Angelina wrote new lyrics for two famous songs by Amy Winehouse, "Back to Black" and "Rehab" since it was inappropriate for a preteen to sing the original lyrics. For "Back to Black" Angelina wrote the new lyrics in the 24 hours prior to the recording, then needed just two takes.
In answer to your question, YES and even better at 11, 12, 13.............
Right off the bat her poise and confidence is front and center and the moment is never too big for her. She sings for her audience and she wants them to be happy, have hope and feel her love. As a 10 year older? No one like her. The tone of her voice? Did you ever go shopping for a new car? When the salesman puts you in the drivers seat and says to you, "Let's take it for a spin, okay?" That feeling you get behind the wheel is the feeling all of us get when we listen to Angelina sing. Did you see that moment when the camera came circling around her and she looked right at it and gave it that half smile she is already famous for? Perhaps 'astonishing' is a word to throw out there to describe what we just heard. She is physically 10 but, my goodness, her musical genius is one of a longtime veteran performer and the most intriguing aspect of the whole package which is Angelina Jordan is she is very GENUINE and we feel her love and our hearts cannot resist. When she hit 10, like you, the industry took notice and realized this was more than a sensational kid singer, this was a generational performer, a once in a lifetime talent whose future will be so bright it's almost scary to believe the effect she will have 'on the human race'!!!!!! Well, she's now 18 and the roots are strong as ever and she will in Concert in Las Vegas for 2 Shows on Feb 29th. At that time, for those who haven't discovered her yet, it's their time to take notice of this born to sing, humble, kind, caring and loving human being who will take listeners into her world when she sings with a voice so intoxicating it's breathtaking!
Yo Michael. I think you're beginning to see why we Angels are so obsessed with her talent. As you're a music teacher, I think you'd really appreciate her one-take recording of I'm A Fool To Want You at age 11. It was for her first full album It's Magic, and most of the take made it into the final mix. The video I'm suggesting was shot right in the vocal booth by her grandma Mery and is heartbreakingly beautiful. Here's a link: ruclips.net/video/79tM-Spcr1Q/видео.html
Fully agree!
Great reaction.
You asked who’s her teacher. The truth is no one. Angelina is basically self taught. From what we understand she has never had any formal vocal training or a voice coach. As far as we know the only vocal instruction she has had was for how to protect her voice.
She was introduced to jazz music at a very young age by her jazz fan grandmother. By 3 years old she was studying the jazz greats on RUclips videos.
Great reaction. AJ is . . . 10 years old here. And on live TV. Insane.
She was just born with IT! 💯✌😇
A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice. As usual, a vocal master piece.
Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006 in Oslo, Norway to her Norwegian mother, Sara Astar and her Swedish father, Gerry Christian Slattman.
Angelina started singing around 18 months of age, after listening to Whitney Houston on RUclips. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani got Angelina interested in classic jazz.
Mery Zamani is Iranian and was a prodigy as an artist and poet while growing up in Iran. Angelina attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where starting around age 4, she had training in music but no vocal training. Her teachers were smart enough to not attempt to change what she was doing vocally. More recently she along with her grandmother have designed and made the clothing she wears on stage.
Why Angelina always performs barefoot At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate.
At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East. PLEASE PURCHASE Angelina’s book from her merchandise store on her official website, angelinajordanofficial Angelina, at age 6 and 7, did record a few songs in a recording studio at her school, most notably “I Who Have Nothing”, a truly remarkable performance for a 7 year old. At age 7, Angelina’s audition on Norway’s Got Talent, was a cover of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday”, a song which was banned by a number of European countries during World War II because authorities worried the song would increase the suicide rate. Truly bizarre that this is the song to launch the career of a child musical prodigy. One of the judges on NGT cried. Angelina had turned 8 years old for her next performance on NGT, covering Billie Holiday’s “I’m a Fool to Want You” singing acapella which was required by NGT unless the singer also played an instrument while singing. This was the Judge’s cut round of the competition and was not performed in front of an audience. In the Semi Final round of NGT, Angelina sang “Bang Bang” which was written by Sonny Bono and was first performed by his wife Cher but is best known sung by Nancy Sinatra. The improvement in each performance is incredible even though there were only a couple months between them. In the Finals, Angelina did a cover of George Gershwin’s, “Summertime” and won the contest, capturing 46% of the votes from the ten finalists. When asked what she would like to do with the prize money she won (500,000 kroner or about $80,000), Angelina replied, “I want to give it to the poor children”. Angelina had become a star in her native Norway and her videos on RUclips went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old. In December 2014, Angelina realized a life-long desire to sing at the Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration which is part of the Noble Peace Prize celebration. Angelina’s family took her to United States, Brazil, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea, Singapore among other corners of Earth, to perform for heads of state and to help raise money for charity. All before Angelina turned 14. At age 9, Angelina recorded a music video covering the 1956 Jay Hawkin’s classic, “I Put a Spell On You”. The video begins by showing Angelina writing her “wishes” for how she wants to perform the song. Angelina has always created her own arrangements for her cover songs. At age 10 and just a week before her 11th birthday, Angelina recorded a demo of “I’m Still Holding Out for You”. Her family never pursued having that recording officially released but someone leaked it on a RUclips video. Thankfully, everyone involved with that song is now ok with the leaked version. Many angels (fans) believe this is one of Angelina’s best performances. When Angelina was 11, she performed a number of concerts in Norway with a jazz/rock band. Those concerts included up to 14 songs, each remarkably performed. Angelina seems to be at her best when on stage, never nervous, only 100% confident. Also at age 11, Angelina recorded her “It’s Magic” album which has, at times, been in the top 10 best selling jazz albums. On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed Frank Sinatra “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. She has said that was the high point of her young career which was already in it’s 6th year. During 2018, Angelina lost her paternal grandfather, her friend Avicii and one of her idols, Aretha Franklin. She did a moving tribute for each. In 2019, Angelina accepted an invitation to compete in the 2nd season of America’s Got Talent (AGT), The Champions. She had, since age 3, wanted to perform for Simon Cowell and she earned his praise with her genius arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. The surviving members of Queen loved it so much they put a link to it on their Twitter. Angelina was eliminated after covering Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”. Angelina’s family refused to sign any agreement with AGT. Angelina, before age 14, had covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, spanning at least 8 genres, all of which are available on RUclips. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On RUclips, search on The Complete Works of Angelina Jordan as Rusty Shackleford has put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video. The pandemic hit shortly after her performances on AGT and likely caused a change of plans by her family, most notably her Uncle Michael who is her manager. Her family agreed to a contract with Republic Records in August 2020. Republic Records declared Angelina Jordan their highest priority new artist. Reportedly her family requested Republic to allow her as normal a childhood as possible and therefore have yet to fully promote her. During the pandemic, Angelina was often seen buying meals for the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. In November 2020, Angelina released “Million Miles” which she wrote after the passing of her beloved maternal grandfather. She dedicated the song to anyone who has ever lost a loved one. Angelina had previously released, 3 other original songs: “What is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield” In April 2021, her original “7th Heaven” was released. A jazzy, danceable, inspiring song. Angelina has posted numerous short performances on Tik Tok and Instagram. Angelina had concerts in Norway in July 2022. In December 2022, Angelina performed at the Asian American Awards in Los Angeles. On 2/27/23, Angelina performed at the FIFA Awards ceremony in Paris, France, with a viewing audience in the millions. On May 5th, 2023, Angelina released her original "Love Don't Let Me Go". On July 23th she released her orginal EP “Old Enough”.
Angelina perform Concert at the Music Hall in Portsmouth New Hampshire on Sept 22nd, 2023. It Was a great concert, who was not and could regret it, a big mistake. On 10/27/23 she released her new orginal singiel “Our Time”. In November 2023, she was presented as a debutante at Le Bal des débutantes in Paris. On 12/08/23 she released new Marry Christmas EP “Driving Home for Christmas”. On 12/10/23 she sing in Oslo at the Nobel Peace Prize Celebration - Unchained Melody tribute to 2023 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Iranian human rights activist Narges Mohammadi.
❤😂❤Angelina❤️😂❤️
Try I Will Survive with Angelina it’s also not normal and she is also 10 at that one too❤😂❤
I wish Angelina would create studios for gifted children of all levels to learn her process to further the elevation of American music in the arts.❤❤❤🙏😇 . They could import water refreshments from Norway.
water refreshments 😂 I like that 👍
Angelina is a student at RUclips Music School and she has inspired many children (from babies to 99 years old).
Angelina is a prodigy, no doubt.
Thank you! 😊😊😊😊
Yo... you are absolutely correct. Angelina is not normal , average or even mediocre. I am enjoying your journey with this musical genius. I have followed Angelina for years and watch reactions to her everyday. You cannot deny the talent that is so effortlessly on display everytime she pays homage to a great one with her own imprint all over it. I live in Western Canada and traveled 3000 miles to see this beautiful musical creature live in Portsmouth NH September 22 2023. Spectacular and being the Prodigy she is every time her Grandma Mary put on a legend Angelina soaked up all the musical nuances to shape to her own unique abilities. Keep it up dude your analysis 👌

There is no one like her!!! I listen to her for hours. She is the total package PLUS somee.
Great Reaction 👍🙏👣
Yo! . . . what do you say?! She was 10. Crazy good. She's 18 now... imagine how good today! Keep reacting to her and enjoy the ride! Peace! 😊
Mike,enjoyed watching you ride the music. SO, welcome to the Marvel Club of Angelina Jordan. Tie a ropeatthe top of this Rabbit Hole. You will need it to come up for a breather at times
Yo, that was just pure fire. She certainly was born with a gift.
Angelina greatly respects the song she chooses to sing and also the original artist, at 11 years old (lovin you) it is incredible. thanks from Argentina 🇦🇷
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Dear Michael - thanks so much for your 'reaction' and wise comments - I loved them. I sensed you would cut the video short! :) being so moved. I suggest you now watch the last few seconds - you'll spot delight in the last second. j in nz.
AJ's first teacher was called Billie - Billie Holiday. She sang and Angelina absorbed the music. There's no explaining it. Thanks for a great reaction. You'll have fun if you move ahead in age like this. Next stop, I suggest Diamonds Are Forever or Cry Me a River, both from the Proysenfestivalen at age 11. There are 'sound enhanced' videos out there which adjust somewhat for the fact that it's recorded live on an iPhone, but her voice is true.
She’s so amazing! The very best version I’ve ever heard! Stunning! Thank you for a great reaction! 👌💫💎❤️
Yo! She is special, as you already found out ;)
"Together with you is our favorite place to be.!!!" - Miss. Angelina Jordan Angel Fan's Family Worldwide "We Thank U - Mr. Michael Goyette - All Great"
I see this sort of talent from a 10y old, almost everyday. Of course, listening to Angelina day after day after day, is the simple trick to it! 🎙️💫💖
😂😂 Great comment! ❤
Hi Michael,
Don't worry - and don't think you're a bad teacher! Angelina is an absolutely exceptional talent. She started singing at the age of 3 and had lessons in the after-school program at the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts from the age of 4/5. When she was about 14/15 years old, the teachers there told her that they couldn't teach her anything anymore because she had already learned everything they taught...
Have fun exploring all the other stuff of Angelina Jordan,
CU in your next reaction to her
Andreas
😎
She started singing at 18 months, not at 3.
@@Sarah-bc8rjp976 : Ok - you're right - I mixed it with the start of her searching in the internet for all the jazz icons...
When she turned 14 she had already lived in LA for 2 years.. The story is that when she was little, back in Norway, she received music tuition, piano and singing lessons and musical theory lessons but no "vocal coaching" because coaching is for changing the voice - which nobody wanted in her case. 🙂
Top of the line for performance. This one will stay in your ever revolving Angelina top 10. Yo!
Your facial expressions mirror my emotions every time i listen to this performance. Always one of my favs, a breakout for Angelina. Great reaction.
Michael, I, too, am amazed by this performance. However, I am just as amazed by her performance of I Put a Spell on You at age 9. How mind blowing is this: she arranged the production of both. Our angel is a musical genius. She has sung amazingly at all ages.❤❤❤😊😊
That’s the first one I saw
Not to bragbut i just got a ticket to see Angelina Jordan in Las Vegas on February 29th. I've never been so excited in my life to see someone in concert. I feel blessed.
It's amazing to see people who have a natural gift ! For some it's sports , others it's art or mathematics , they stand out because it's NOT normal ! I'm in my sixties and have heard my share of singers ......this kid easily fall into that category ! Go Angelina !
Highlights of the Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony
One of the highlights of the Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony in Oslo, Norway, was the stunning performance of Angelina Jordan, who sang Unchained Melody with her soulful voice. This unbelievable classic ballad, composed by Alex North and Hy Zaret, has been covered by many artists, but none like Angelina. As she sang, the words and hypnotic tone wash over you, and you are taken to the most wonderful place you have ever been. Her rendition was a tribute to the power of love and peace, and a fitting way to honor the Nobel laureates of 2023. ©
… Even if I keep repeating myself...nobody sings this song better than Angelina...nobody!! I can't find the words to describe how perfectly it is sung!! So perfect... world class... the orchestra is also sensational!! ✨💎✨ Thank you
I guess you might expearience a total "melt-down" if you listen and react to her rendition of "Every Time We Say Goodbye", live for a norwegian morning TV show. Also at 10 yo.
Nice!!!
Yo :) I'm thoroughly enjoying your reactions to Angelina. I am going to her Vegas concert and I can't wait!
Thank you for another reaction to Angelina, but please, please do not stop the video until the end, as you will often miss something which will help you to understand Angelina a little better. In my opinion, she is the best singer in the world, and there are thousands of others who would agree with me. Every moment you spend featuring her on your channel will being you great emotional satisfaction.
There are so many things I get from this performance. Some I recognised immediately and those I missed were brought to my attention by the more observant Angelina fans (her Angels) and I thank them for letting me know what I had missed.
(1) The realisation that at the age of 10 Angelina has shed all childishness from her voice.
(2) A feeling that the placement of the spotlight at the beginning of her performance was deliberate. If it was, then, to my mind, it was a brilliant move.
(3) The fact that Angelina arranged this song and that the band kept out of the way and let her voice be the focus.
(4) The incredible low note she sang for the word "good" at the beginning and end of the performance.
(5) That wonderful crescendo at the end.
(6) The was Angelina used her left arm and hand throughout the performance
(7) The way she changed the microphone from her right hand to left hand, so that she could flip her hair back with her right hand.
(8) The cheeky smile she gave to the cameraman when she realised he had focused on her at about 4.44 in your reaction video.
(9) The sideways look and grin she gives to her instrumentalists just after she curtsies to the audience -- as if to say, "Yeah, we killed it, guys! Now let's go get some ice cream!"
(10) The almost instantaneous switch from "performance" mode to that of a young child who, curtseyed and gave a sweet smile to the audience as an acknowledgement of their applause.
Others have commented that the performance by Nina Simone should be considered the "gold" standard for this song. Until recently, I had never watched her performance, but have now done so. They just cannot be compared, for Angelina's arrangement is totally different
Nunca he sido de hacerme fan incondicional de ningún artista, excepto con Angelina, desde que la descubrí con su versión de "I put spell on you" no puedo ni quiero dejar de escucharla y verla. Definitivamente me ha hechizado, para mi es la mejor intérprete que he conocido, larga vida a la reina🤗🙏👸
Excelente reacción, un alma vieja en el cuerpo de una niña de 10 años. Impresionante!!!!! I love Angelina for evet
Great reaction, I've been following her going on 6 yrs now and she seems to get better on a daily basis.
YO! Michael 😊 I love your reactions to Angelina, as you really understand what you're witnessing. Not understanding HOW she is able to do what she does is perfectly normal. Continue your reactions to her, because you're in for the musical journey of your life, no kidding. I'm looking forward to more! Much love from Norway 🇸🇯❤️❤️❤️
Hej buddy, was quite sure to find you here so I went through 163 comment just for you... almost just for you ... Have a great day!
@@Hundhammer You too, buddy 🇸🇯❤️🇩🇪🇺🇸😇🎸👍💯🔥
Thanks!!!
Are you a billiards fan? My dad was a pro.
I almost envy you for all the unforgettable moments Angelina has given us over the years which you don't have seen yet. In one of these, she performed in Stockholm in 2014. Angelina was 8 years old, and the concert's purpose was to raise money for victims of bullying. Just before the concert, she fell ill, with a severe cold with fever. It was recommended that she cancel, but Angelina refused. She didn't want to let the organizer and the fans down. She does a version of MJ's "I'll Be There" which, given the setting above, is one of the most impressive and beautiful performances I've ever seen. Could you please react to this one? ❤
Speaking of 10 yr old prodigy's Australian guitarist Taj Farrant is already one of the great talents & is a future super star ! Now 14 & presently touring in America again,he can play like Prince or Stevie Ray Vaughan with style & precision well beyond his years. I'm sure as a guitarist you'll be blown away by the child that Carlos Santana invited to share the stage with him at the Hard Rock Cafe !!!
About three years ago, I listened only to Angelina Jordan for two weeks and accepted she is a gift to humanity. I bet, If the whole world can have a Angels day, where only her music is played, she can change humanity to a better being.
Angelina Jordan 18 years old
Her next concert is in Las Vegas at Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, on February 29, 2024, (2 concerts) she is a vocal prodigy, at 18 years old she is already considered one of the best singers of all time, the record label on which Angelina Jordan is his High Priority artist since age 14, Republic Records, a division of Universal Music. Group, the world's leading music company, has been recognized by Billboard as the industry's number one label for the past 10 years. (Ariana Grande, Anitta, Taylor Swift, Pearl Jam, Post Malone, Seth MacFarlane, Shania Twain, Stephen Sanchez, Stevie Wonder, Tainy, Wekeen, Conan Gray, Daddy Yankee, Drake, Eddie Vedder...etc, etc) Republic Record gave him an exclusive studio just for Angelina Jordan in Los Angeles. California, where he currently resides, Mexico
Fantastic
Angelina came into her own at age 10. She had many great performances, of iconic songs, in many genres and killed them all.
Thanks for a great reaction. I enjoy these best when a knowledgeable person gives their opinion. You absolutely nailed this. She is brilliant and her latest music takes jazz and gives it a modern twist making the sound relevant to today’s generation.
As a music teacher you could show your students Angelina’s videos to inspire and demonstrate to them that dreams can come true.
I fear it might frustrate them!! 😂
Yeah you mentioned 7 years old she wowed the judges singing Billy Holidays Gloomy Sunday..
with her incredible interpretation of a Hungarian Suicide Song her star was set. Truly and uniquely beautiful. Thanks for a great channel. May you r path always rise up to greet you!
Yeah,she’s pretty spectacular… can’t believe she didn’t win Americas Got Talent… I don’t know of a better vocalist/singer in the world… her range is bottom to Top!!! I love her and I hope to see her sing live !!!
It is my belief she and her family knew she would not win strictly because they would not sign with Simon C. He does not like losing and that was his way of saying so. Even Howie M. Mentioned the voting of super fan ie the panel or show owners that all have fingers in the pot. They pick the winners and get royalties when the sign on.
Thank you Michael for a great reaction this is so much fun for us watching someone discovering AJ , most of us have seen her perform this hundreds and hundreds of times it is amazing her own arrangement too , and still amazing , she makes everything look like a walk in the park, no not normal , there have been many great child singers but not like her she has never really sounded like a child and her choices of songs have been unique for her age , her vocal and musical abilities are off the charts , but she never shows off , it is what she feels the song deserves and how to get the meaning and the feeling out of it . Once she has the mic she is ageless, vocally timeless, and is now a blending of genres , her voice is whatever she wants it to be, she has been such a joy. a continuous surprise, no other artist has ever touched me like her, when she sings you get her heart and soul and what a grand beautiful heart she has.💗👣
She's rare. She's a music prodigy. I hear she's never had vocal lessons because they didn't want her vocals messed with how ever she studied music throry. She was just born with a beautiful gift.
Perfect….that’s exactly what I would’ve recommended if anyone had asked me!! ✌️
👌👍😎
Angelina is a super star vocalist, very minor teaching, she is known as the little master / bass by band members as she controls everything with her talent and requirements.
Hi, Angelina Jordan was self taught she would listen to RUclips and take lesson from RUclips. She would go to the jazz bar and play piano and get a piano lessons and singing those songs other than that she just self taught that she went to 56 grade after school program For saying, but she wanted sing jazz or sing jazz at one and a half years of age as progressed and older voices got more and more mature age. She was selling singing to sell our crowd while she sang them. Young people fan is massive. got 2 billion views on RUclips.
