She is so impressive, and the same year she recorded this she also wrote a book and became the youngest published author in Norway. Not only that she has been recording songs in a studio since she was 6 in English which is her 3rd language she speaks Norwegian, Farsi, English, and some Japanese. Not only is she talented, and smart she is humble and kind, even before she was ever signed to a label she has raised 21 million euros for charities for children and the environment and that is coming from a child who is not a millionaire herself. Just thought I would give some impressive facts besides her singing.
Thank you Lynette .. i never get tired of reading the facts of this magical young woman (I try to not say 'girl' any more!..😊) I partly like hearing the details of her life because of the way they are passed on .. so I thank you! I was ridiculously blessed that ifound out about her when she won NGT and she became well known all over Europe. Always with her white dresses, flowers in her hair and barefoot .. so I am so very happy to now be able to watch so many videos of her. She feeds my soul .. and i cannot seem to go through a day anymore without hearing her sing!
Angelina's incredible. A year later at 10, she does Feeling Good, the inside concert with an orchestra, it is something else. That year difference in her maturity is amazing. It's to her forte, a jazzy bluesy singer.
@@ronraskind It was intended to be a reply to Mike McDevitt indicating that I agree, one of the best recordings by anyone, ever. I believe it will still be talked about in 50 years. At least it should be.
Angelina casts another spell. BORN TO SING is a statement that now has two categories, Angelina and everyone else. Angelina is a music prodigy specializing in vocals, the only such prodigy I know of. As talented as Angelina is, she is an even better person, filled with empathy. She has vowed to always perform barefoot until every child on Earth has shoes. Here is how that mission began. 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 befriended this girl who was wearing soiled clothing and no 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.” 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 so moved by the poor girl, took off her favorite sea green ankle boots and gave them to the poor shoeless girl. Angelina promised the girl she would perform barefoot until every child on Earth has shoes. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot. At age 9, she became the youngest published author in Norway’s history by writing a book about this encounter in the Middle East.
Well, if you haven't heard her do Bohemian Rhapsody yet, be prepared to be speechless yet again. She is going to do it to you a bunch of times if you keep listening to her. The girl has a ton of stuff and all of it is at least as good as the originals she covers and many times her version is better. It's been said that she doesn't cover songs, she finishes them.
Angelina started out singing Jazz. Won Norway's got talent at 7 singing Billy Holiday, I'm a fool to love you, Gloomy Sunday, Summertime. And I know she has done several Frank Sinatra covers.
Great reaction. Typical 'so cute' to *WHAT!!* transformation :-) Angelina has *massive* talent and dedication, but many don't realize that when she recorded this at 9.2 years old, she had already been singing with passion and commitment for eight years. Yep. Started before she was 1.5 years old. There is sooo much of her amazing work in YTland, you could react to her alone for a long time.
You two are lovely and I loved watching your reaction to Angelina.The stunned silence after said it all, as did your smiles during.Angelina is amazing isn't she?
NINE years old when this song was recorded, it is the only recording like this from Angelina. In all other recordings her voice, Growls and Screams are lower to protect her vocal cords. We are very lucky her Grandmother filmed this recording session.
Great reaction to an incredible performance. I must thank you for not stopping the track over and over like so many do, it truly ruins the flow of the music. Your comments are thoughtful and inciteful. Dr G
It's a gift that's what she's got. It doesn't happen to everyone or often but when it happens it's something special..I consider this my favorite of her performances and that was a hard decision to make considering all her performances are so Amazing...I must've seen this thousands of times...only video i can say that about.
No other singer can perform in so many different voice, so well, well enough to redefine the performance, make it uniquely hers, new and spectacurlaly memorable. She should not be possible yet there she is.
Angelina is one of the most addictive singers I have ever listened to, & one of the very few, that can pull you right into the song, making you feel, every word, every note, & every emotion. ❤️💙 I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song ❤️💙 A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤️💙 Whether you are a believer in reincarnation or not, I find it very intriguing that Lou Rawls, the American Jazz & blues singer legend, passed away the same day Angelina is born 😊 Loved your reaction guys!!!
Guys, what can you say! And, it never stops! No matter what age she is, no matter what song it is. Don't know how much you know about her but when you find out everything about her you will be in awe of her. Ah, I just heard you say Bohemian Rhapsody. Fasten your seat belts. I will say no more. But, definitely, do Bohemian Rhapsody soon.
The best thing about this - she has always been cared for - including the adult who said: "wow this is magic - but you are not allowed to shred your vocal cords like this again for a couple of decades". One of the best calls ever made - and we are all happy they filmed the one time when she showed off that muscle. In a decade or so, I would not be surprised if she will growl at us again while our jaws make rattling sounds as they hit the floor - again. When that happens - some select few of us will remember this sample from her childhood.
Yes, she is amazingly talented and I just love all her music. Her home always had Jazz music playing, when she was in her mothers womb she was listening to Jazz and while in her cot, listening to Jazz. There is a video of her singing Jazz at 18 months, so I find it understandable that some 6 years later by honing her skills with practice and tuition, she was ready. This phenomenal young girl actually asked her mother to put her in a singing competition. The result was that she won Norway's Got Talent, the rest my friends is history. Now with over 130+ covers and own tracks later she has proved without doubt that she is one of the best singers on the planet. AJ has recently been signed with Republic records and has released her own song "Million Miles". On 10th January 2021 she will be 15 years old; what a future lies ahead. Enjoy the journey.
You have SOOOOOO much more to discover from Angelina. Having reacted to Million Miles and I Put a Spell on You, I would recommend I'd Rather Go Blind (Etta James), Fly Me to the Moon (Frank Sinatra), Young and Beautiful (Lana del Rey), and I'm Still Holding Out for You (Baby Fuzz). I think those four will give you a pretty good representation of the versatility of this extraordinary talent. Of course there are so many great performances from Angelina you really can't go wrong with any of them. The rabbit hole is deep, but it is a journey well worth taking.
At Angelina's first audition at Norway's Got Talent when she was 7, one of the judges said it sounded like Angelina had been drinking whiskey since she was born. This performance she sang "Gloomy Sunday"!
You’re both amazing and I’ve subscribed to see more of your reactions to Angelina. Seeing people react to her for the first time to whatever video that’s up is wonderfully addictive. It’s been said already that you’ve not yet scratched the surface. Get ready for your ears to be tickled with delicious sounds that your ears need to feed on. Angelina just hits something deeper than any artist has hit me and I’m nearly 3 times her age. It bugs me a 14 year old is my favorite artist. It shouldn’t be like that but it is. I hope the world takes notice and everyone will know her name.
Angelina said in an interview that she started singing along to music when she was eighteen months old. Her grandmother, who was also a child prodigy but more in the visual arts played old jazz standards constantly and Angelina fell in love with them. She started learning to sing seriously at age three. Since I first studied the history of music decades ago (I'm 57), I've often wondered what it would have been like to see Mozart perform when he was a child. Now I know... Since Ginger loves Frank Sinatra, you guys should take a look at Angelina's music video for Fly Me To the Moon. ruclips.net/video/jnnzbdt4_RE/видео.html She also has another personal piece called Shield that is about her mother. It really sounds like it could be a Bond theme! ruclips.net/video/m8OCbAlr_48/видео.html
Yes, Ertha Kitt died Dec. 25, 2008. Angelina still hadn't reached her 2nd birthday Jan. 10. I look forward to watching many more of your reactions of this young prodigy.
I may be latecomer to this conversation, but I just went through your Angelina journey again. I love your reactions. You really need to react to more Angelina. The world/galaxy/universe has never had a talent such as AJ's. Start with Bohemian Rhapsody, or any of her other 100+ performances, there is no wrong answer. She will amaze you every time.
Don’t forget, it is her arrangement too. You saw the not she delivered. That was the last changes. Unbelievable. Remember she has a ridiculous range. But only use what she thinks the song needs. I love that about her. She is not just a show off. Her I rather go blind, is one of her about 135 covers. 4 of them are her wonderful owns
I am a Angelina big fan have listened to a good portion of her postings. I also noticed that you enjoy Amira Willighagen. One of her best postings is "Gabrielle's Song" live! She sings in Swedish and it is one of my favorite videos on RUclips!
You have just seen an evolving miracle of song. What a voice, what emotion, what commitment to detail of arrangement at 9 years old. I love her tributes to other artists that have been the basis of her talent. Her covers of Frank Sinatra songs, Billie Holiday songs, Etta James songs, songs of Elvis, and Queen. Her tributes to Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin and Avici are particularly heartfelt and powerful. Her covers of Adele and Lana del Ray songs are unbelievable as well. Do not pass up the depth of her commitment to Jazz, blues and many old and new classics by the best singers in the business. She doesn't just cover them, she often reimagines them and creates the vitality of the original. Look forward to more of Angelina from you!
You 2 just have to do some more Angelina Jordan. Trust me she is not finished blowing your mind, tripping the light fantastic is just getting ready to depart, all you gotta do is climb on board and hold on tight thanks
Great reaction 🇨🇦. Looks like you both especially you Ginger (love that name) just got possessed and you are now and forever under her spell and that’s awesome Hopefully you’ll continue on the this journey. You’ll be in for an amazing ride.
Welcome to the Rabbit hole. She is a angel from the heavens. Lot of us old timers well into our twilight years have never seen such a inmazing artist .Check out it's a man's world and she covers Frank Sinatra songs .Great reaction
The problem with reacting to Angelina is, you use up all of the superlatives on the first couple of performances. Then you have to just keep repeating yourself.... But don't let that stop you, we'll keep watching... :)
If you didnt have headphones your smiles would go all the way around :D Brilliant reaction, thanks so much for sharing! Subscribed so I dont miss the next one.
Thanks for the reaction. This was a tip of the cap to the writer of the song, who was also the one who first recorded it: Screaming Jay Hawkins. If you like Sinatra, you might be interested in Angelina's covers of Fly Me to the Moon, Strangers in the Night, You Make Me Feel So Young, or My Way. Angelina has 132 different songs (including either 4 or 6 originals depending on how you count), covering 81 different artists. Four were written by her and two were written for her, Many of them were performed in multiple videos at different ages, totalling 248 videos. I'm quite certain you'll find many new favorites! Enjoy the ride!
Wait till you hear her when she won Norway Got Talent at 7-8 years old! One amazing reaction is if you would react to one of her great performances from that competition, something like "Summertime", and then as a contrast one of her latest, such as when she sang "Bohemian Rhapsody" on America Got Talent: The Champions, when she got to be 13 (she got the golden buzzer for that performance). That would be fantastic, but it would also give you a much more amazing contrast of how great she was at 7 vs a different kind of greatness at 13!
When you do your reaction to Angelina's performance of Bohemian Rhapsody, keep in mind, she had to do a 6.5 minute song in a little over 2 minutes. What would you cut? How would you rearrange? All while paying homage to the original and respecting Freddie Mercury. This will be a good example of who she really is and why her fans are so in awe of her.
Do you want Frank Sinatra, listen to Angelina's performance of the song "Fly me to the moon" acoustically or in a performance on the "View" 🦶🦶 She was 8 years old there... And if you want her to blow your mind see her in Norway got talent in the song "Summertime "
Can u imagine when those swasones professional musicians hears this little 75lb girl belt out this song....she owned it! U would love "Its a man's world "....love your reaction!
Angelina is 9 in this MASTERPIECE! She is paying tribute to the writer and original performer of this classic rock song, Screamin' Jay Hawkins (1956); hence the black and white production. Everything about this production is an A+. This song was voted one of the 500 most influential songs in the history of rock and roll, and it has been covered more than 200 time (can't find one by Frank Sinatra), the most well-known being Nina Simone's. A bit of history behind the song: Jay was trained as an opera singer, and wrote this song to be sung as a ballad. The producer/director brought in fried chicken, beer, and bourdon, and the entire band got mashed. So they recorded this wild version of Jay's song, and it became the iconic rock and roll song Angelina is paying tribute to. Whenever a new reactor discovers Angelina, most of her fans point him/her to this performance. There just aren't enough words to describe how Wonderful this performance is. Like you, Angelina is a fan of Frank Sinatra. Shortly after winning Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8, she traveled to America to appear on The View TV show. There she performed one of Frank's trademark songs, "Fly Me to the Moon". Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/nBGMQ9Kx9iI/видео.html In several different performances of this song, she has >50M views on YT. I promise you will be amazed. I loved your reaction to the Fabulous Angelina, and look forward to many more. 😊💕💕 P. S.: Here's "Bohemian Rhapsody" ruclips.net/video/7gQljxeaNuM/видео.html Again, you will be blown away (as was Queen) with what she has done with this iconic rock song.
You are so right Ginger!!! That is pure TALENT!!!! You say you love Frank Sinatra?, well now you need to check out her rendition of FLY ME TO THE MOON. She's done several covers of that song and also did Nancy Sinatra's BANG BANG on Norway's Got Talent when she was 8yrs old. I'm so glad you're enjoying our BAREFOOT PRINCESS again. Beautiful reaction. Thank you both💖💖💖
Thanks for another excellent reaction to my favourite singer on your second exposure to her. IShe will often surprise you with her choice of song and her interpretation but you will never be disappointed. Angelina did not base her version based on a performance by Frank Sinatra. Did he release this song? She was only 9 years old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to the person who wrote the original, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, an American singer/songwriter. He wrote and performed it in 1956 and Angelina based her performance on the original, although she did make some subtle alterations to both lyrics and melody. As you continue your journey of discovering Angelina - and I sincerely hope you do - you will come to realise that she does her own arrangements of most of the cover songs she sings. The differences may not be immediately discernible on first listening to them, but they are there. There may be a subtle change in tempo or tone, or more inflexion in some words, or a phrase may differ in pitch from the original. The amount of control that Angelina has over her voice cannot be measured. She never hurries a song. She sings in such a way that the emotions in the lyrics are felt by the listener. In this video did you notice:Angelina finishing some notes and handing them to the pianist, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music. Then a brief glimpse of Mery Zamani, a well known and respected Iranian artist, who is also Angelina's maternal grandmother and the person who encouraged Angelina in her love of music, especially jazz.And then there is a shot of Angelina holding a candle upon which was an image of Screamin' Jay Hawkins. Lastly, did you notice how the "performing" Angelina, singing at a level of maturity far beyond her years, suddenly became a 9-year-old child almost instantaneously once she finished singing. From the time I first heard Angelina, way back at her first audition on Norway's Got Talent, she has amazed me.
Great reaction. This is a more aggressive and theatrical song. The amount of twist and turns is amazing but does not slow Angelina down. She rises to the occasion like it's the normal thing to do. The greatest video ever, and only 9 years old. If you listen to Bohemian Rhapsody I would suggest all 3 songs on AGT Champions January 2020 at 13 years old. For the perfect looks, voice and emotion I suggest her cover of Adele's Someone Like You at 13 years old, She has done Sinatra's, Fly me to the Moon, My Way, You Make me Feel So Young.
Her catalog is (already) broad and deep, with over 130 different songs, in at least a few hundred different performances. There's a crazy amount of stuff out there. We even have the very first video ever taken of her singing, at age 1½ (it's a short clip in a longer TV segment about her). You'll see it eventually, assuming you keep reacting to her. [grin]
From Iowa, USA; OK, WOW ❗🤗🌹 1. An important thing to remember about AJ is that she refused to sign for a record deal through AGT and they relented and invited her to sing anyway. 2. AJ is currently signed with Republic Records. 3. She began singing at 18 months and due to her grandmothers influence, she was drawn to and fell in love with jazz and blues music. 4. She has been arranging most, if not all of her music performances since she was 8 years old. Hopefully this will remain as she continues her career with Republic. 5. Currently in 2022 she still performs barefoot and I hope by now that you have discovered the incredible reason why she does that. 6. AJ sews her own clothes, (the cloth is designed by her grandmother) and she stands 6 feet tall at 15 yeats old! 7. We all hope to enjoy her performances for many years to come. 8. BTW I'm 80 and have been involved privately in music since age 7.
I think that is the greatest vocal performance ever…. Like, of all time. It is a religious experience. There is nobody like her.. . . I mean, Oh my gawd!
She's a prodigy and a genius. Check her cover of Bohemian Rhapsody or The Show Must Go On. How about her covers of Adele's When We Were Young or Lana del Rey's Born to Die. Chris Isaak's Wicked Game or Rihanna's Stay. Everyone of them equals or surpasses the original. She does all of her own arrangements too. And she's kind and humble. What more can I say?
The spell has been cast! She is Great you. Guys. Need to check Bohemanan rapsidy on AGT You will be hook line & sinker. Great reaction Looking forward too your next one.
Hi Mike and Ginger I wanted to let you know that Angelina Jordan released her live version of Million Miles today. She wrote this song for her late Grandfather.
She started singing at 1-1/2 years. Her first love was jazz and especially Billie Holiday. You are going to live Bohemian Rhapsody- and everything else she’s released. The only recordings that I did not like so far are those where the recording quality was not so good. Her singing in every piece was phenomenal.
She is so impressive, and the same year she recorded this she also wrote a book and became the youngest published author in Norway. Not only that she has been recording songs in a studio since she was 6 in English which is her 3rd language she speaks Norwegian, Farsi, English, and some Japanese. Not only is she talented, and smart she is humble and kind, even before she was ever signed to a label she has raised 21 million euros for charities for children and the environment and that is coming from a child who is not a millionaire herself.

Yes, this performance reminds me a bit of Frank Sinatra. ruclips.net/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/видео.html
This is in the opinions of many, the finest performance ever recorded by a 9-year-old
Absolutely is!!!!
One of the finest recordings by anybody, if you ask me

No imitations, she arranged the song. As seen by ulterior page she handed the director at the beginning of the video
I liked the director smirking reaction 1:52 to Angelina song arrangements as to say this is going to be good!
Angelina is a legend. Cheers!
Love, an old soul, she does it all, you need to listen to her sing bang bang, love❤💯

I love it when her hand finger ,are so cute
You have SOOOOOO much more to discover from Angelina. Having reacted to Million Miles and I Put a Spell on You, I would recommend I'd Rather Go Blind (Etta James), Fly Me to the Moon (Frank Sinatra), Young and Beautiful (Lana del Rey), and I'm Still Holding Out for You (Baby Fuzz). I think those four will give you a pretty good representation of the versatility of this extraordinary talent. Of course there are so many great performances from Angelina you really can't go wrong with any of them.
The rabbit hole is deep, but it is a journey well worth taking.

Yes, Ertha Kitt died Dec. 25, 2008. Angelina still hadn't reached her 2nd birthday Jan. 10.
I look forward to watching many more of your reactions of this young prodigy.
She channeled "Screamin' Jay" Hawkins very well...maybe his old soul in there. I like this one (His pic was on that candle)
She Did The Arrangement for This version !!!!!!
Now watch/listen to her covering Etta James. Phenomenal.
She is an insane talent.
Facts. I’m still a little gobsmacked - G
AaaaH!
Priceless reaction guys, and both you and us can't stop smiling listening to ANGELina
I may be latecomer to this conversation, but I just went through your Angelina journey again.
I love your reactions. You really need to react to more Angelina.
The world/galaxy/universe has never had a talent such as AJ's.
Start with Bohemian Rhapsody, or any of her other 100+ performances, there is no wrong answer.
She will amaze you every time.
We definitely will! - G
Don’t forget, it is her arrangement too. You saw the not she delivered. That was the last changes. Unbelievable. Remember she has a ridiculous range. But only use what she thinks the song needs. I love that about her. She is not just a show off. Her I rather go blind, is one of her about 135 covers. 4 of them are her wonderful owns
you have found the only one who can be all your favorites in one little package 😍👍
When God handed out talents, Angelina Jordan Astar stood first in line!
"Oh my Hod, holy smokes"..bout right 😂
I think she is an soul 🤩🥰🙏
she is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am a Angelina big fan have listened to a good portion of her postings. I also noticed that you enjoy Amira Willighagen. One of her best postings is "Gabrielle's Song" live! She sings in Swedish and it is one of my favorite videos on RUclips!
Love people’s reactions to this song!
You have just seen an evolving miracle of song. What a voice, what emotion, what commitment to detail of arrangement at 9 years old. I love her tributes to other artists that have been the basis of her talent. Her covers of Frank Sinatra songs, Billie Holiday songs, Etta James songs, songs of Elvis, and Queen. Her tributes to Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin and Avici are particularly heartfelt and powerful. Her covers of Adele and Lana del Ray songs are unbelievable as well. Do not pass up the depth of her commitment to Jazz, blues and many old and new classics by the best singers in the business. She doesn't just cover them, she often reimagines them and creates the vitality of the original. Look forward to more of Angelina from you!
You 2 just have to do some more Angelina Jordan. Trust me she is not finished blowing your mind, tripping the light fantastic is just getting ready to depart, all you gotta do is climb on board and hold on tight thanks
We are definitely not done with her 👍🏻 - G
Great reaction 🇨🇦.
Looks like you both especially you Ginger (love that name) just got possessed and you are now and forever under her spell and that’s awesome Hopefully you’ll continue on the this journey. You’ll be in for an amazing ride.
Welcome to the Rabbit hole. She is a angel from the heavens. Lot of us old timers well into our twilight years have never seen such a inmazing artist .Check out it's a man's world and she covers Frank Sinatra songs .Great reaction
The problem with reacting to Angelina is, you use up all of the superlatives on the first couple of performances. Then you have to just keep repeating yourself....
But don't let that stop you, we'll keep watching... :)
If you didnt have headphones your smiles would go all the way around :D Brilliant reaction, thanks so much for sharing! Subscribed so I dont miss the next one.
Thank you, and welcome! - G
Thanks for the reaction. This was a tip of the cap to the writer of the song, who was also the one who first recorded it: Screaming Jay Hawkins. If you like Sinatra, you might be interested in Angelina's covers of Fly Me to the Moon, Strangers in the Night, You Make Me Feel So Young, or My Way.
Angelina has 132 different songs (including either 4 or 6 originals depending on how you count), covering 81 different artists. Four were written by her and two were written for her, Many of them were performed in multiple videos at different ages, totalling 248 videos. I'm quite certain you'll find many new favorites!
Enjoy the ride!
Wait till you hear her when she won Norway Got Talent at 7-8 years old! One amazing reaction is if you would react to one of her great performances from that competition, something like "Summertime", and then as a contrast one of her latest, such as when she sang "Bohemian Rhapsody" on America Got Talent: The Champions, when she got to be 13 (she got the golden buzzer for that performance). That would be fantastic, but it would also give you a much more amazing contrast of how great she was at 7 vs a different kind of greatness at 13!
When you do your reaction to Angelina's performance of Bohemian Rhapsody, keep in mind, she had to do a 6.5 minute song in a little over 2 minutes. What would you cut? How would you rearrange? All while paying homage to the original and respecting Freddie Mercury. This will be a good example of who she really is and why her fans are so in awe of her.
One of the better reactions/reviews out there
Thank you 😊 - G
Awesome reactions! She is amazing! Playlist time!!!
Angelina has done many Frank songs hopefully you will get to them...
Waiting for BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY !!!!!.....LOVE YA BOTH
❤️ - G
Do you want Frank Sinatra, listen to Angelina's performance of the song "Fly me to the moon" acoustically or in a performance on the "View" 🦶🦶 She was 8 years old there... And if you want her to blow your mind see her in Norway got talent in the song "Summertime "
Enough can't be said about Angelina Jordan spectacular Gift!
Can u imagine when those swasones professional musicians hears this little 75lb girl belt out this song....she owned it! U would love "Its a man's world "....love your reaction!
I've watched dozens of reactions to this one and yours is one of the best.
Thank you, Bruce! 😊 - G
Znice reaction... she does everything..frank sinatra fly me to the moon.. whitney houston.. adele john legend etc..etc..
Angelina is 9 in this MASTERPIECE! She is paying tribute to the writer and original performer of this classic rock song, Screamin' Jay Hawkins (1956); hence the black and white production. Everything about this production is an A+. This song was voted one of the 500 most influential songs in the history of rock and roll, and it has been covered more than 200 time (can't find one by Frank Sinatra), the most well-known being Nina Simone's. A bit of history behind the song: Jay was trained as an opera singer, and wrote this song to be sung as a ballad. The producer/director brought in fried chicken, beer, and bourdon, and the entire band got mashed. So they recorded this wild version of Jay's song, and it became the iconic rock and roll song Angelina is paying tribute to. Whenever a new reactor discovers Angelina, most of her fans point him/her to this performance. There just aren't enough words to describe how Wonderful this performance is. Like you, Angelina is a fan of Frank Sinatra. Shortly after winning Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8, she traveled to America to appear on The View TV show. There she performed one of Frank's trademark songs, "Fly Me to the Moon". Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/nBGMQ9Kx9iI/видео.html In several different performances of this song, she has >50M views on YT. I promise you will be amazed. I loved your reaction to the Fabulous Angelina, and look forward to many more. 😊💕💕 P. S.: Here's "Bohemian Rhapsody" ruclips.net/video/7gQljxeaNuM/видео.html Again, you will be blown away (as was Queen) with what she has done with this iconic rock song.
Fantastic reaction, God Bless!

Angelina Jordan is now a recording artist at republic records this summer 2020
🤣 Indeed - G
you should react to her in "what a difference a day makes" or "I'm feeling good"
You are so right Ginger!!! That is pure TALENT!!!! You say you love Frank Sinatra?, well now you need to check out her rendition of FLY ME TO THE MOON. She's done several covers of that song and also did Nancy Sinatra's BANG BANG on Norway's Got Talent when she was 8yrs old. I'm so glad you're enjoying our BAREFOOT PRINCESS again. Beautiful reaction. Thank you both💖💖💖
listen to her 3 songs at 7 yrs old on Norway Got Talent!
Thanks for another excellent reaction to my favourite singer on your second exposure to her. IShe will often surprise you with her choice of song and her interpretation but you will never be disappointed. Angelina did not base her version based on a performance by Frank Sinatra. Did he release this song?
She was only 9 years old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to the person who wrote the original, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, an American singer/songwriter. He wrote and performed it in 1956 and Angelina based her performance on the original, although she did make some subtle alterations to both lyrics and melody.
As you continue your journey of discovering Angelina - and I sincerely hope you do - you will come to realise that she does her own arrangements of most of the cover songs she sings. The differences may not be immediately discernible on first listening to them, but they are there. There may be a subtle change in tempo or tone, or more inflexion in some words, or a phrase may differ in pitch from the original. The amount of control that Angelina has over her voice cannot be measured. She never hurries a song. She sings in such a way that the emotions in the lyrics are felt by the listener.
In this video did you notice:Angelina finishing some notes and handing them to the pianist, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music. Then a brief glimpse of Mery Zamani, a well known and respected Iranian artist, who is also Angelina's maternal grandmother and the person who encouraged Angelina in her love of music, especially jazz.And then there is a shot of Angelina holding a candle upon which was an image of Screamin' Jay Hawkins. Lastly, did you notice how the "performing" Angelina, singing at a level of maturity far beyond her years, suddenly became a 9-year-old child almost instantaneously once she finished singing. From the time I first heard Angelina, way back at her first audition on Norway's Got Talent, she has amazed me.
On her original audition on Norways got talent. One of the judges said it sounded like she's been drinking whisky since the day she was born lol
Wow, I hadn't heard this one yet. Damn, that girl is an old soul in a very young body. I laughed at the Gin comment.
Great reaction. This is a more aggressive and theatrical song.
The amount of twist and turns is amazing but does not slow Angelina down.
She rises to the occasion like it's the normal thing to do.
The greatest video ever, and only 9 years old.
If you listen to Bohemian Rhapsody I would suggest all 3 songs on AGT Champions January 2020 at 13 years old.
For the perfect looks, voice and emotion I suggest her cover of Adele's Someone Like You at 13 years old,
She has done Sinatra's, Fly me to the Moon, My Way, You Make me Feel So Young.
Her catalog is (already) broad and deep, with over 130 different songs, in at least a few hundred different performances. There's a crazy amount of stuff out there. We even have the very first video ever taken of her singing, at age 1½ (it's a short clip in a longer TV segment about her). You'll see it eventually, assuming you keep reacting to her. [grin]
ANGELINA. ...👏👏👏👏👏👏
From Iowa, USA; OK, WOW ❗🤗🌹
1. An important thing to remember about AJ is that she refused to sign for a record deal through AGT and they relented and invited her to sing anyway.
2. AJ is currently signed with Republic Records.
3. She began singing at 18 months and due to her grandmothers influence, she was drawn to and fell in love with jazz and blues music.
4. She has been arranging most, if not all of her music performances since she was 8 years old. Hopefully this will remain as she continues her career with Republic.
5. Currently in 2022 she still performs barefoot and I hope by now that you have discovered the incredible reason why she does that.
6. AJ sews her own clothes, (the cloth is designed by her grandmother) and she stands 6 feet tall at 15 yeats old!
7. We all hope to enjoy her performances for many years to come.
8. BTW I'm 80 and have been involved privately in music since age 7.
My favorite is it’s called Amy Winehouse/
Angelina Jordan Back to back
So good 😊
I think that is the greatest vocal performance ever…. Like, of all time. It is a religious experience. There is nobody like her.. . . I mean, Oh my gawd!
Lucky are we that this angel came along in our lifetime.........an legend in making and we got it all on tape, great reaction to:-)
Great reaction video. God bless you.
She's a prodigy and a genius. Check her cover of Bohemian Rhapsody or The Show Must Go On. How about her covers of Adele's When We Were Young or Lana del Rey's Born to Die. Chris Isaak's Wicked Game or Rihanna's Stay. Everyone of them equals or surpasses the original. She does all of her own arrangements too. And she's kind and humble. What more can I say?
You should really watch her version of James Browns "It's A Man's World" of 2018. Don't miss out on that one!
Lol now I can’t get Angelina drinking a shot of bourbon before this performance out of my head 😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😂😂😂😂😂😂
The spell has been cast! She is Great you. Guys. Need to check Bohemanan rapsidy on AGT
You will be hook line & sinker. Great reaction Looking forward too your next one.
I wish that sax never stops.
Superb reactn
Great reaction!
Angelina Jordan and Lucy Thomas are the best young singers in the world. Each has his personality. But both will be superstars.
I love she singing Billie Holidays "gloomy sunday"
Never read about Sinatra but listen to Fly Me To The Moon by Angelina
Hi Mike and Ginger I wanted to let you know that Angelina Jordan released her live version of Million Miles today. She wrote this song for her late Grandfather.
Epic, where is my talent!
Angelina is.......MUSIC!!!!
She started singing at 1-1/2 years. Her first love was jazz and especially Billie Holiday. You are going to live Bohemian Rhapsody- and everything else she’s released. The only recordings that I did not like so far are those where the recording quality was not so good. Her singing in every piece was phenomenal.
