You must realize that she was not told or trained how to do this. She came out of her dressing room with a piece of paper and said, these are my wishes. She requested it be done in a 6-count rhythm. This child is not just a prodigy, she is a musical genius!!
I not only think she’s a vocal prodigy, I also think she’s a musical genius. This is her arrangement. At 9 years old. How many 9 year olds could sit down and come up with an arrangement like this. I think the whole thing is phenomenal in every respect.
I love Angelina at all ages, through and through, I can’t pick a favourite, they are all my favourites! Great reaction. Thanks for explaining some technical details.
Great reaction. Angelina was actually barely 9 years and 2 months when she recorded this. The video wasn’t posted until about a year and a half later for some reason.
Angelina was "designed by the Lord to sing." I love that, Tara! No way in the world she was taught how to do *that* at nine, and with such abandon. Absolutely 100% a vocal prodigy; YT is filled with the proof. Thanks for commenting also on how Angelina really "performed" this song with her whole body and soul, not just with her voice (and suggesting that this performance be taught in colleges). So, so true! Thanks for a very enjoyable reaction!
You may love it all you like, but it is not true. Angelina is a sole product of her granny's desire to have a super star grand daughter. Angelina didn't realize before long after. Maybe not before she was fifteen and almost ruined it and she's still walking on the edge of ruin it on a daily basis under the American influence.
Tara, you said something that I have been thinking for years while watching this young prodigy grow up. I think that college courses in music will someday be based on the vocal understanding and career of Angelina Jordan
I will always come back to the young Angelina because she has done soooo much incredible work for such a young person but I also appreciate the evolution of her growth in every aspect of her life. She should be a subject of study. Today at 17 Angelina has created her own brand in spite of the comparisons to Amy Winehouse and Adele. Today Angelina has created a new style of music not seen yet anywhere by mixing generational music becoming a timeless and brilliant artist.
WoW finally. You gotta understand at 10 she already has 4 years experience as she started singing in studio for the first time at 6. Highly recommended you check out that performance and turn CC on if you do.
Thanks for the reaction to our angel Angelina...she is simply the best..I like Angelina all the time...as a little girl or as teenager as she is now...She is perfect in all time...❤
At any age, her voice is my favourite sound in the whole universe. I could never tire of it. It evolves, it matures, it becomes more agile as the years go by, but it always retains a certain distinctive quality that makes it one of a kind and just immensely pleasing, and I always see the same amazing human being when I look at her beautiful unique face.
I'm glad you finally did this one. It really illustrates the grasp that she has on vocalization, control, technique, and style even at a young age. Angelina has been working and performing and honing her craft at a master level for 10 years and she's only just 17. She is the most exciting and promising artist I have seen in my 58 years on the earth.
@@sulatlalaki Yes, I remember Lolli Wren AKA "The Fairy Voice Mother" saying that when she reacted to "Love Don't Let Me Go." I'm sure she was exaggerating for effect, but it's true that Angelina was already trying to sing some Whitney Houston when she was only 1.5!!!
These days the word Prodigy has been overused however in case of Angelina Jordan I believe that it has been underused. Her comprehension of music and her interpretation of songs are way beyond her years. Even setting aside her amazing unique voice and her technical abilities, the way she touches hearts and engulfs souls with emotions is overwhelming. I listen to her and my goosebumps get goosebumps. Thank you for this reaction video and I look forward to your reaction to her new originals on her recently released EP.
Since you only now got around to this one you must not have seen many more. There are so many fabulous songs. Angelina's cover of "You Say" is certainly among the top of her many magnificent live performances. A younger Angelina on the rooftop & TV show is another great one. I assume you'll get around to viewing most of the rest her vast collection. You need to catch up. Peace.
I love every phase of her development, I find myself rewatching videos for hours. By the way, since she is now 5'10' I think her feet have been telling us to prepare for a beautiful statuesque woman.🤩
She is a Vocal Prodigy. My No Single Day goes by I may be filled with Work entire Day But Before going to Bed I Hear Her once always 5 Songs. Her Voice Refreshes me Mentally and Physically.
Amazing, I was sure you saw it, thanks for the wonderful reaction Tara. 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 the most beautiful version of this song, over 60 years since it was written and there are much of versions of it, also interpreted by great singers. 💛🧡❤ A few weeks ago her new EP "Old Enough" came out, although of course you can't react to everything, you definitely have to listen to the 6 special songs, even if it's just for your pleasure, they are so peculiar and different that also extremely inspiring to a vocal coach in the optical of evolution of voice! I really can't prefer an age of Angelina, she is always so present and involved in what she sings, that the various facets of what she gives us perform the miracle of making her fascinating in every age and in every genre.
I've watch many reactors react to this video; professional voice teachers and coaches, singers of different genres, musicians all have a very similar reaction "what!", "how!" , "no way!" and just pure amazement. What 9+ year old would sing this song - Angelina!
Jaw drop said it all and her covering "I'm A Fool To Want You", rehearsal at 11 years old in the studio in 1 take, is mind blowing at same level, God Bless!
Its not just her vocal prowess either, but its her emotional connection to what she is performing. There are grown adults with years of life to pull from who don't connect like she does. Easily a God given talent!!!!
Some of the studio band members (piano, for instance) are semi-regulars with her and practice for her summer jazz festival circuit. They are probably the ones who brought her to the attention of the producer.
Hi Tara. Your reaction was quite entertaining. She's not a typical prodigy, iMHO. She has surpassed all measures of being one, and MUCH MUCH more. It's not only the vocal abilities that set her apart, but the reinterpretation of legendary songs which we thought were perfect and no one dared to touch! Your concluding question at the end tries to separate the 9 year old from the 16 year old Angelina. She can resurrect any stage of her musical being anytime she wishes. I submit to you that today's Angelina is an encyclopedia of all music genres, or legends, through her persistent perseverance since childhood. She is at least a genius! May God protect His precious creation at all times. She deserves it, and we love ❤ her. Peace ✌
I've watched a couple hundred reactions to this video and your analysis is spot on, incisively informational and , as opposed to the majority of others, solely regarding Angelina and her arrangement/interpretation of the first shock rock classic by Screamin' Jay Hawkins in 1956. Many thanks for the reaction and keep up the good work.
A Prodigy, a god given talent, and a personality to match ❤️ Pure class, humble, giving, loving, caring. So all in all, yeah, pretty amazing, i'll say ❤️
Tara, awesome to have you reacting to Angelina again. Tara, you are good at math. Your thumbnail says Angelina was 10 years old for this remarkable performance. We have learned she was around her 9th birthday when this was recorded and thanks for saying so a couple times in the video, but for reasons unknown, the video was not uploaded to RUclips for just over a year. Regardless, Angelina follows her instincts to deliver a remarkable, emotional performance.
Notice the up tick in comments and views? What will it be like after the promotion next year? This next 6 months should be appreciated highly, life for fans will have to adapt to the next chapter. U tube may have to adapt as well.
Great review, hadn't seen any reactions on Angelina in quite a while from you and was amazed that you had not ever reacted to this particular one, almost a must see in her early history. I too noticed her feet, the first time I saw them, thinking them quite big for a nine year old and wondering if that presaged her future growth like it does for many animals. And today she's over six foot tall and absolutely gorgeous, so I guess, yes, it sort of does. For me Angelina goes way beyond being a special singing talent or a prodigy. She represents what's good in the world, even without the singing, with her generosity and compassion. I hope you will get to reviewing her recently released EP. It's nothing short of amazing as well.
Thank you Tara great reaction in answer to your questions what ever the definition is for the greatest artist ever, and it is not possible to prefer AJ at one age over another but it seems possible to love her more and more and for her to have taken up residence in my heart.💗👣
I love almost anything she sings, and some of her performances have brought me to tears many times or led me to play them hundreds of times over the years! But having said that, this Cover of I put a spell on you is maybe the most spectacular thing she has ever done. Not only for her age, but by itself. I've seen and heard many versions, like the original from Screaming Jay Hawkins, Nina Simone, Bette Midler in the movie, Creedence Clearwater Revival and many more, but none of them is as impressive as this little lioness! Her dedication and expression is stellar! I never get bored by seeing the video again! She "knows" Soul and the Blues! Masterclass!
Absolutely phenomenal arrangement by our barefoot Princess , Angelina actually arranges this version herself paying tribute to the original artist Screaming J Hawkins a blues musician from the 1950s , Angelina is commanding the performance she is the boss, I’ve been following Angelina ever since she won Norway’s Got Talent at 8 years old, she is a musical genius,I attended Angelina’s live concerts in her hometown In Norway 🇳🇴 in the summer of 2022 her stage presence was stunning her live vocals phenomenal, Angelina is 17 now and she signed with Republic Records at 14 years old , Angelina’s uncle is her Manager and Angelina’s Grandma is her greatest influence, Grandma Mery introduced Angelina to Jazz and the old classic songs when Angelina was one and half years old, great reaction thanks 🙏
Angelina was 9 years old in this performance (the video was posted after she turned 10) - 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 and it is read by the bandleader. 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
And...she's reading the lyrics! But she can still completely inhabit this song. As for the Whitney, I have never thought belting was Angelina's thing (though she nails it in The Show Must Go On and captures the pain of Freddie's impending death). You might like her take on I'd Rather Go Blind or Go Easy On Me or Stay (all of which equal the very wonderful originals). Just listen your way through her covers--I like Happier a lot too. She was a prodigy, but she's a genius at any age. Glad you're doing her.
Tara, I reacted the same way the first time I watched Angelina's video, a 9-year-old singing like an old jazz singer from "Back in the Day!" Angelina is a Child prodigy, influenced and introduced to Jazz music by her grandmother, who loves old jazz recordings. The band during this studio session was so impressed with her arrangement of "Screaming Jay Hawkins's" 1956 classic, that they nicknamed her "The Bross!"
Thanks Tara for a great reaction! I’ve followed her since she was little, and must say she’s very special. It’s something about her voice, you got drawn into her singing, the world stops. She’s a fantastic songwriter and storyteller. I love anything she sings, cause she has done and do so many genres. It’s all about her magical soulful voice! Please look up her long catalog of covers and original, then you know what I mean. 👌💫💎❤️
Tara, this song answered your question. Nine year old Angelina created the arrangement for the cover of this song. Angelina is not just a prodigy she’s also a multi talented musical genius.
I found her with this song. Then kept following her. I love all her Classics. Fly me to the moon 9, (As you said. The line.. fill my heart with song, let me sing forever more) was written for her the spirits knew😅. Summertime 8, Gloomy Sunday 7. Amy Winhouse, Whitney Houston, Micheal Jackson tributes. This Jazzy old soul. To bring back to life these songs. Her way. At the beginning you see her do change ups an hand to the guy! It has been amazing to watch her blossom into this Classy young lady! What a role model for girls,everywhere!
Tara, when she was 6 she went to a studio and sang I Who Have Nothing. It was her first time in a studio and after she finished the song she asked did I do well? The technician said, for your first time, you did VERY WELL! There is even one point, after she hit a difficult note where you can see her celebrate what she did while she continues singing. 🎶🎶👱♀👱♀👗👗👠👠❤❤
What makes that performance even more remarkable is its her 1st time in a recording booth, she is reading the lyrics which are in her 3rd language and the video is her 1st take. The thumbs up she gives kills me every time
Thats not right. Before I who have nothing she did Rolling in the deep, Skyfall and Hurt. They are all at youtube. When the teacher says its first time, its first time she sing this song - not the first time in the box.
@@gerdna3019 Here is the link that I have saying I am right. If you have proof otherwise, PLEASE give me the link! ruclips.net/video/OtPkxHf_r0M/видео.html 🎶🎶👱♀👱♀👗👗👠👠❤❤
@@gerdna3019 i have heard this was her first time in the recording booth, i dont have source info so either 1 of you could be right. She is still 6 singing a song in her 3rd language. I am 56 and i dont have a 3rd language lol.
@@marketsquareus It says right in the video link I provided that it is her first time. Beside that, if it wasn't her first time she wouldn't get THAT excited about hitting that tough note! 😉😉😊😊❤❤👗👗👠👠🤐🤐
Thank you, that was fun to watch - and educational in the best way. I think whether Angelina is a prodigy is well and truly answered in this song (and numerous others). Hearing her sing «I Have Nothing» is impressive as well, but she has never been better than on her new EP with six brilliant - and quite different - originals!
What gets me is she does exactly what the song needs, nothing more, nothing less. She doesn't input anything just to show off. She will use something unique for one song and never repeat it again, unless, of course, she thinks it's required for another.
Tara, I think it was Alan Papier from "Wrapped in a Warm Blanket" Angelina Jordan Podcast that said first, "Someday Angelina will be studied in college-level music classes". You are the first vocal coach to say the same thing.
People will disagree, but I’m her biggest fan. 😊 I’m more of a guitar player (of almost 50 years), and I find a LOT of inspiration in Angelina’s entire artistry. She’s one of a kind.
Hi Tara 👋. Wonderful reaction and love it when you give nerdy analysis on Angelina. Yes she was barely 9 here when filmed. She even hit a F5 with distortion and her own kind of vibrato etc. She's a phenom. Love all her ages for they bring something new and different. She seems to have big growths every other year. Can't wait for you to buy download and react to the songs on here new EP. She wrote all 6 songs on it and they're all amazing and different. It's like an amazing full 6 course meal 😋. God bless you Tara and your family too 🙏 ✝️❤ 🙂👍
The first time I've heard her from Norway's got talent until she became a champion back then, I know she's really unique and special. You must need to listen to her when she auditioned because you might drop your jaw in awe.
Wonderful reaction Tara and very insightful on how Angelina instinctively knew how to use her instrument to get certain results. It is mind boggling! And so true she has a God given gift that, of course, she has honed over the years. Not only she was born to sing, but in her own words singing is like breathing to her. Which I like best, the younger or the older Angelina is like asking me which of my children I love the most, lol. In all the amazing performances we've got from her over the years, she showed an outstanding timber, tone, phrasing, capability of transmiting emotion, arranging classics to her taste, etc. Obviously, with the passing of time and as she grew up, she has been able to refine her voice in a way that is indescribable. In the new EP "Old Enough" released a month ago, she displays a whole palette of vocal colours, if you can call them that. Hope you get to react and analyze the 6 original songs in it. Buckle up! 😊
She's at once in a generation voice,, She's a phenomenon. I believe she's this generation's Elvis... I've been all in 6 years, And i'm so proud of her like she's my own daughter.... ✌️
I think Angelina shows her vocal style best now that she is 17 all of the honing of her artistry came out in her 6 song EP ,each song is different but in a new genre that is just unbelievable great and they are her original sum of which she co produced check out now I'm a fool .as always I really enjoyed your reaction thumbs up to you 👍
I absolutely loved the timing of your question: Who thinks Angelina is, like a vocal prodigy? (As we watched, we knew the answer was just seconds away.) I’m so grateful to watch you discover this recording!
There are thousends angles waiting your next reaction of angelina. Please dont stop
She is very special! It just gets better.
AJ is what I call a once in a generation singer. I will go so far as to say she is a legend.
7 years, 9 years, 13 years, 17 years - no matter which age, I simply can't get enough of Angelina.
Same here; her voice is perfect at every age.
Me three ❤️
Me 4

All Angelina is more than great, early, middle or late (years). She just introduced you to her take on Screaming Jay. Thanks for the reaction.
This is also her arrangement and they call her the boss.

100% a child prodigy and she is getting so much better if that is possible AMAZING is an understatement, by the way you look amazing as always x
Now I think you are really SOLD ❤ Any age - she is unbelievable

Thank you Tara great reaction in answer to your questions what ever the definition is for the greatest artist ever, and it is not possible to prefer AJ at one age over another but it seems possible to love her more and more and for her to have taken up residence in my heart.💗👣
This girl is going places. It's all i have to say....
I love almost anything she sings, and some of her performances have brought me to tears many times or led me to play them hundreds of times over the years! But having said that, this Cover of I put a spell on you is maybe the most spectacular thing she has ever done. Not only for her age, but by itself. I've seen and heard many versions, like the original from Screaming Jay Hawkins, Nina Simone, Bette Midler in the movie, Creedence Clearwater Revival and many more, but none of them is as impressive as this little lioness! Her dedication and expression is stellar! I never get bored by seeing the video again! She "knows" Soul and the Blues! Masterclass!
Absolutely phenomenal arrangement by our barefoot Princess , Angelina actually arranges this version herself paying tribute to the original artist Screaming J Hawkins a blues musician from the 1950s , Angelina is commanding the performance she is the boss, I’ve been following Angelina ever since she won Norway’s Got Talent at 8 years old, she is a musical genius,I attended Angelina’s live concerts in her hometown In Norway 🇳🇴 in the summer of 2022 her stage presence was stunning her live vocals phenomenal, Angelina is 17 now and she signed with Republic Records at 14 years old , Angelina’s uncle is her Manager and Angelina’s Grandma is her greatest influence, Grandma Mery introduced Angelina to Jazz and the old classic songs when Angelina was one and half years old, great reaction thanks 🙏
Vocal prodigy in the extreme!!!! Stupendous. Obviously an old soul. There's just something incredibly special about "I Put A Spell on You"
Angelina was 9 years old in this performance (the video was posted after she turned 10) - 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 and it is read by the bandleader. 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
Yep, she was 9yrs and 2 months old here to be exact.
And...she's reading the lyrics! But she can still completely inhabit this song. As for the Whitney, I have never thought belting was Angelina's thing (though she nails it in The Show Must Go On and captures the pain of Freddie's impending death). You might like her take on I'd Rather Go Blind or Go Easy On Me or Stay (all of which equal the very wonderful originals). Just listen your way through her covers--I like Happier a lot too. She was a prodigy, but she's a genius at any age. Glad you're doing her.
Tara, I reacted the same way the first time I watched Angelina's video, a 9-year-old singing like an old jazz singer from "Back in the Day!" Angelina is a Child prodigy, influenced and introduced to Jazz music by her grandmother, who loves old jazz recordings. The band during this studio session was so impressed with her arrangement of "Screaming Jay Hawkins's" 1956 classic, that they nicknamed her "The Bross!"
Thanks Tara for a great reaction! I’ve followed her since she was little, and must say she’s very special. It’s something about her voice, you got drawn into her singing, the world stops. She’s a fantastic songwriter and storyteller. I love anything she sings, cause she has done and do so many genres. It’s all about her magical soulful voice! Please look up her long catalog of covers and original, then you know what I mean. 👌💫💎❤️
Me hechizó!!!!!❤❤❤increible interpretación!!!
Thank you for your sincere reaction!
She had already won Norway's Got Talent and she with family had hired this band full time for almost a year.
"How Great Thou Art" and this one are my two favorite. Then again if she is singing I am a listening.
All of them, Angelina is unique from the day she born up to today. I hope we get more years of this extraordinary human being
We are all unique from the day we're born, idolatry is unbecoming!
I was amazed that you had not heard this one, she is a prodigy, natural instinct.
Tara, this song answered your question. Nine year old Angelina created the arrangement for the cover of this song. Angelina is not just a prodigy she’s also a multi talented musical genius.
… There are many good singers... but Angelina is the "Diamond" ✨💎✨ among them !!! … Thank you
I found her with this song. Then kept following her. I love all her Classics. Fly me to the moon 9, (As you said. The line.. fill my heart with song, let me sing forever more) was written for her the spirits knew😅. Summertime 8, Gloomy Sunday 7.
Amy Winhouse, Whitney Houston, Micheal Jackson tributes. This Jazzy old soul. To bring back to life these songs.
Her way. At the beginning you see her do change ups an hand to the guy! It has been amazing to watch her blossom into this Classy young lady! What a role model for girls,everywhere!
She’s a prodigy.
Tara, when she was 6 she went to a studio and sang I Who Have Nothing. It was her first time in a studio and after she finished the song she asked did I do well? The technician said, for your first time, you did VERY WELL! There is even one point, after she hit a difficult note where you can see her celebrate what she did while she continues singing. 🎶🎶👱♀👱♀👗👗👠👠❤❤
What makes that performance even more remarkable is its her 1st time in a recording booth, she is reading the lyrics which are in her 3rd language and the video is her 1st take. The thumbs up she gives kills me every time
Thats not right. Before I who have nothing she did Rolling in the deep, Skyfall and Hurt. They are all at youtube. When the teacher says its first time, its first time she sing this song - not the first time in the box.
@@gerdna3019 Here is the link that I have saying I am right. If you have proof otherwise, PLEASE give me the link! ruclips.net/video/OtPkxHf_r0M/видео.html 🎶🎶👱♀👱♀👗👗👠👠❤❤
@@gerdna3019 i have heard this was her first time in the recording booth, i dont have source info so either 1 of you could be right. She is still 6 singing a song in her 3rd language. I am 56 and i dont have a 3rd language lol.
@@marketsquareus It says right in the video link I provided that it is her first time. Beside that, if it wasn't her first time she wouldn't get THAT excited about hitting that tough note! 😉😉😊😊❤❤👗👗👠👠🤐🤐
Thank you, that was fun to watch - and educational in the best way. I think whether Angelina is a prodigy is well and truly answered in this song (and numerous others). Hearing her sing «I Have Nothing» is impressive as well, but she has never been better than on her new EP with six brilliant - and quite different - originals!
Ha! I reacted like you when I 1st heard this. amazing!
Masterpiece from a Prodigy
What gets me is she does exactly what the song needs, nothing more, nothing less. She doesn't input anything just to show off. She will use something unique for one song and never repeat it again, unless, of course, she thinks it's required for another.
Wonderful and beautiful reaction. ❤
Tara, I think it was Alan Papier from "Wrapped in a Warm Blanket" Angelina Jordan Podcast that said first, "Someday Angelina will be studied in college-level music classes". You are the first vocal coach to say the same thing.
People will disagree, but I’m her biggest fan. 😊
I’m more of a guitar player (of almost 50 years), and I find a LOT of inspiration in Angelina’s entire artistry. She’s one of a kind.
Excelente!!! Ella es El Angel
Girl there is no explanation how a child can do this like it's impossible to be this good this young
Hi Tara 👋. Wonderful reaction and love it when you give nerdy analysis on Angelina. Yes she was barely 9 here when filmed. She even hit a F5 with distortion and her own kind of vibrato etc. She's a phenom. Love all her ages for they bring something new and different. She seems to have big growths every other year. Can't wait for you to buy download and react to the songs on here new EP. She wrote all 6 songs on it and they're all amazing and different. It's like an amazing full 6 course meal 😋. God bless you Tara and your family too 🙏 ✝️❤ 🙂👍
The first time I've heard her from Norway's got talent until she became a champion back then, I know she's really unique and special. You must need to listen to her when she auditioned because you might drop your jaw in awe.
Wonderful reaction Tara and very insightful on how Angelina instinctively knew how to use her instrument to get certain results. It is mind boggling! And so true she has a God given gift that, of course, she has honed over the years. Not only she was born to sing, but in her own words singing is like breathing to her.
Which I like best, the younger or the older Angelina is like asking me which of my children I love the most, lol.
In all the amazing performances we've got from her over the years, she showed an outstanding timber, tone, phrasing, capability of transmiting emotion, arranging classics to her taste, etc. Obviously, with the passing of time and as she grew up, she has been able to refine her voice in a way that is indescribable. In the new EP "Old Enough" released a month ago, she displays a whole palette of vocal colours, if you can call them that. Hope you get to react and analyze the 6 original songs in it. Buckle up!
😊
She's at once in a generation voice,, She's a phenomenon. I believe she's this generation's Elvis... I've been all in 6 years, And i'm so proud of her like she's my own daughter.... ✌️
I think Angelina shows her vocal style best now that she is 17 all of the honing of her artistry came out in her 6 song EP ,each song is different but in a new genre that is just unbelievable great and they are her original sum of which she co produced check out now I'm a fool .as always I really enjoyed your reaction thumbs up to you 👍
I absolutely loved the timing of your question: Who thinks Angelina is, like a vocal prodigy? (As we watched, we knew the answer was just seconds away.) I’m so grateful to watch you discover this recording!
