❤️❤️❤️❤️👣 Angelina is 9 years and 2 months old here, and it is an arrangement of the original that Angelina did herself. She seems to have an understanding here that should not be possible. The video was recorded when she was nine but released later when she may have been ten.
Angelina a nine year old Norwegian girl, who happens to be a musical prodigy. She has God given talent that is how she does this! Takes Screaming Jay Hawkins 1956 classic and rearranges it into this masterpiece. Notice the last minute changes she handed to the individual. She has been doing this since she was seven years old! Amazing control. Affectionately known as the “Boss” by her band! 🇳🇴🇺🇸💯 See Angelina Jordan 10 Years In The Making ruclips.net/video/I_59PZXkusc/видео.htmlsi=eAM4Mz541yPejb9a Angelina’s Mom Sara produced this short documentary narrated by Angelina!
Nice reaction😊 Angelina was barely 9 here. 9 years and 1 or 2 months old. This is probably one of the best child performances you ever gonna see. Love from Norway 🇳🇴❤️❤️❤️
A child prodigy and musical genius for sure. Imagine at 9 years old, singing an iconic song like this and sounding like a seasoned professional. With so much soul it's unbelievable and unnerving to watch. Angelina definitely is an old soul as you can see, but More importantly she understands the composition of this song and how to project it with all that emotion using her rasp her vibrato her growls and her naturally fantastic young voice. This is a vocal masterpiece by a 9-year-old. I guarantee you'll never see anyone sing a song like this at that age and record it in the studio with professional musicians looking so calm and poised and confident in what she does. You really have to sit back and sit awe because the visual never adds up to the audio when this young lady is singing at this age.This is the one song that many, many vocal coaches and Angels first saw when they heard Angelina for the first time and sent them on the journey. as you are now with almost only another 300 covers and originals of my friend. Enjoy the journey. Thank you so much for becoming an angel. . Thank you so much for your wonderful RUclips channel. . Keep posting my friend and sending you much thanks and love from Canada 👍🇨🇦❤️
The fact that she somehow found the Screaming Jay Hawkins original 1956 version and based her arrangement on that is wild. Jay was way out there for his time and considered the father of shock rock. Nice reaction thanks.
Actually Angelina was 9 years old in her own arrangement of this song, after listening to the original artist Screaming J Hawkins a blues musician from the 1950s, Angelina arranged this and is paying tribute to the original,Angelina is commanding this performance she is the boss, great reaction thanks 🙏
No, she's nine: the date a video is released can't be taken as the date of recording... I believe she was just turned nine. I doubt there has ever been a nine year old girl with such a rich voice, and who could sing so beautifully particular at the low notes she reaches here
For I Put A Spell On You - Angelina was 9 years old - Her nationality is Norwegian but is fluent in English even at this age - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the vocal arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version and communicated to the band how she wanted it to be played - in fact, at the beginning of the video you see Angelina writing down some last-minute changes "her wishes" and it is read by the recording producer/engineer. You also notice that her own handwritten notes are on the music stand in front of her as she sings. For more insight into how Angelina works, here is a rehearsal video with some of the same band members at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and communicates to them what she wants to do. The first thing she says is that she wants to start, followed by her saying she wants to start over, later she tells the pianist that the key is too low and that she wants to raise it a half-tone, then at the end of the song she changes the ending on the fly. The spoken language is Norwegian: ruclips.net/video/80f3t3dmBbk/видео.html
AJ’s "Summertime" at 11 with the KORK Orchestra. Angelina Jordan's rendition of "Summertime" is a remarkable display of talent transcending age. Her performance begins with the innocence of youth, as she steps onto the stage with the poise of a seasoned artist. Her voice, mature beyond her years, fills the room with a timeless melody, captivating the audience. As the last note fades, the spell is gently broken, and we are reminded of the young artist's age, yet her talent leaves a lasting impression of a professional who has mastered the art of performance. This duality of childlike wonder and professional grace is what makes Angelina Jordan's performances truly unforgettable. (CopyRight)
Angelina was only 9 years old here. When Angelina was about 3 years old she said all she wanted to do was to sing for the whole world 🌍 to make everyone happy. Angelina was just born to sing . She first sang when she was just One and a half.She’s definitely Heaven Sent.Great Reaction 💓Denise from Yorkshire England 🏴💓👼👼🦶🦶🫅🫅👍👍
I still remember the first time i heard this, not expecting anything like this and i just stood in shock for a long time before have to replay it many times to try to grasp what happened❤️❤️ later also understanding more of what it takes to time, focus etc for a child like this❤️❤️ just genius🥰
@ thank you Steve. I love how you help AJ as I see your name come up all of the time. I would like to meet you at one of her concerts ( I have attended 4 so far).
@@terrymajor3450 Hi Terry - it would be great to meet you too! It's amazing it hasn't happened yet as I've been to 4 concerts as well, possibly the same 4? Portsmouth, Vegas, Glendale, El Rey. Anyway, let's plan to meet at the next one for sure. And - does my memory serve correctly that you play jazz trumpet?
Yes, Steve, you pay attention. I couldn’t go to the El Rey, but went to both in Vegas. Had front row seats to the first show. I count that as 4. I had a concert the day after her El Rey, so I couldn’t get back to Chattanooga if I went to LA. Many years ago I played behind JD Sumner who shared the stage with Elvis in Las Vegas and got to talk with AJ about that. Any way, I hope to go to the next concert as I am so excited about the sound enhancement that I have been hearing about. See you there.
@ Very cool that you talked to her about one of your musical experiences 🙂. Speaking of which - we're looking for Angels with music skills to help on an AJ project, interested? If so , let me know a good way to contact you outside of RUclips comments 🙂🙂.
An angel recently found a Twitter post showing a photo of this performance, dated February 3rd, 2015. So this video was either recorded on that date, or a within a few days prior. We don't know why the video wasn't uploaded to RUclips until a year later.
This video was recorded in March of 2015, so she was 9 years and 2 months old! Screemin Jay Hawkins is pictured on the candle she was holding at the beginning of the video! Here is yhe first song she ever recorded, at age 1 and a half with s microphone almost as big as her, covering Whitney Houston's I'll Always Love You! ruclips.net/video/pefir9zeOnw/видео.htmlsi=mvtLILsHMP_gi8Ja
Just a heads up, you can’t always go by the date on the video to determine age. The September 2016 date on this video is the RUclips posting date, not recording date. This song was supposedly actually recorded around March 2015 when Angelina was 9. however it was not posted to YouTune until about 1-1/2 years later. The EP that it appears on includes songs from various ages, 8 to 10. Even her single Bad Valentine released September of last year was actually recorded in 2022 when she was 16.
Thanks for the wonderful and aware reaction, Jeff. This song is one of the important steps to understand the singularity of Angelina's talent. It's unreal like her, from a very young person, she choice to use her incredible passion and understanding through music in a splendid way, especially for these legendary songs. She is definitely the only 9-year-old girl who understands and has the courage and the ability to sing this song from Screaming' Jay, so imbued with his power, and reorganize it according to her musical sensibility and vision. I sincerely believe that this it's one of the most beautiful version of this song, over 65 years since it was written and there are much of versions of it, also interpreted by great singers.💛🧡❤
Sounds like you have quite eclectic musical tastes. Angelina is really the singer for those kinds of people: so many different genres and singing styles and techniques, and she makes every one of them sound like that's "what she does", not just "something she can do". This one, for example… it's the starting point for a great many reacters who are being introduced to Angelina Jordan for the first time. I used to feel compelled to point out - whether such "first-timers" loved it or had reservations about it - that it wasn't at all what she typically did. I mostly don't bother doing that anymore. I know they'll find that out for themselves soon enough…
The metamorphosis of AJ Angelina Jordan's evolution from a child prodigy to a full-grown artist is a testament to her enduring talent and the natural progression of life. It's not uncommon for fans to feel nostalgic about artists they've followed since childhood, but growth and change are intrinsic to the human experience. As Angelina transitions into adulthood, her style and presentation may change, but what remains constant is her unique voice that continues to captivate audiences worldwide. Her journey reflects the transformation every artist undergoes, adapting and maturing both personally and professionally. This metamorphosis often brings a deeper, more resonant voice and a presence that resonates with both the innocence of youth and the wisdom of experience. Angelina's ability to maintain her signature sound while enhancing it with the strength of adulthood is what makes her a true phenomenon in the music industry. PS. If anyone questions her abilities as an adult, all one has to do is experience her performance in Dec. of 2023 at the Nobel Peace Prize on Oslo, Norway when she performed the most exquisite performance in my lifetime of Unchained Melody with the KORK Orchestra, no one on earth could have performed it better. (CopyRight LDP)
The trumpet player also accompanied her on her Norway’s Got Talent winning performance of Summertime at age 8 the previous year. Some reactors have wondered what the band must have thought when they saw a little girl come into the studio. The truth is they were probably well aware of who she was coming fresh off her NGT win and having already performed on other various TV shows, performed at a Nobel Peace Prize concert amd released a Christmas EP.
Andy Warhol famously never said, “Everybody will be Famous for 15 minutes, and I am not talking about AJ… I am thinking that hers will last a little longer. I can think of no other platform than YT, with content creators, and podcasts that epitomizes this phrase which, if you look it up, can most likely be attributed to no one, although it was given birth by a slightly different iteration. ☑️👌😎 JP
She was 9 years and 2 months old when this was recorded. What tends to confuse people is that it was released a year later, when she was 10.
She was 9 in this vedio. And this is her arrangement. Amazing.
❤️❤️❤️❤️👣 Angelina is 9 years and 2 months old here, and it is an arrangement of the original that Angelina did herself. She seems to have an understanding here that should not be possible. The video was recorded when she was nine but released later when she may have been ten.
Amazing.
She was 9 years and 2 Month old
This performance will go down in the annals of Music History as the best vocal performance by a child (9 yo), ever. Mark my words.
She was actually early 9 here, as it was recorded much earlier before being released.

I suspect Mery was the influence for this song since she saw SJH in 1970 in Japan that is where she got the candle with his face on it.

She arranged this! Of course together with the musicians. Movie made by a famous Norwegian photographer Per Heimly.
Little Ms Jordan is known as THE BOSS by the band. (Great reaction as always)

I couldn’t even get to AJ, sorry. JP
Wrong. Only 9.
