She was in Iran with her mother and came across a poor girl with no shoes. Angelina gave the girl her shoes and the girl said she would pray for her and her career. So she always goes barefoot to never forget the little girl. She also wrote a children's book about her experience and got top children's book in Norway. She is also known as the Barefoot Princess.
This may be the best vocal performance of all time, and she is 9 years old! I'm a 73 year old musician, absolutely love her. Happy 17th birthday Angelina! Love your reaction Carli, my jaw dropped too!!
One of the judges on Norway's Got Talent, which Angeline won two years earlier at age 7, said it best.' "She sounds like she's been drinking whiskey since she was two years old." (She is 9 in this video by the way.)
Thanks for saying I love you. Yes you're the only one I hear telling me that each day I hear you. It really means a lot even though I know it's generalized. Still it feels nice to hear. Thanks for the reaction today to our angel. Yes, at 9 years old she put a spell on us all. You may enjoy next to go back to her beginning on Norway's got talent. Look up, "Angelina Jordan Norway's Got talent all performances". It should give you the video with four boxes in it for her four different performances there. I think you will really enjoy it and I look forward to your reaction. :-)
She is 9 years and 2 months and as far as being seasond,, well she has been in the studio since 6years old auditioned on TV at age 7, won the NGT show at 8, went to the USA and went on American TV at 8, then did this at 9, at 10 years old she did "I Feel Good" in a concert, then went home from school and sang a Disco song "I Will Survive" and also poped off a leaked song that the original singer Baby fuzZ had just reliesed and days later she had done her own AJ version of "I'm Still Holdimg Out For You" ... then Frank Sinatras "My Way" then went did many many from 11-15 and out all are unbelievable and out did it her way only a few were just covers. Almost all she does are her own version of a cover and all are arranged by her and out all are done in one take. And please look up the reasons of her bare feet,,,, it's just unbelievable of her commitment to children's charity's and helping raise money for causes,even at 8 years old and at 17 still singing barefoot for her cause
If you want to see a croggled musician, react to "Back to black" by Angelina; there's a string player behind her in some shots... she is awesome, and commenters before me have told you most of the key points... blessed be!
She was performing for some disadvantage kids and noticed they didn't have or own any shoes so she gave her shoes to them and performes shoeless in support of them. She is Amazing!!!
Notice the notes she gave the music director at the beginning. He laughs because she calls them her wishes. It is for this and her polite and respectful demeanor that they call her "the boss." Try her at 10 (she is nine her). Feeling Good and I'm still holding out for you. Blow your mind again.
Angelina's singing gives me a glimpse of the Almighty. What unimaginable power and what depth of love it reveals. This is my favorite vocal performance ever. Thanks for supporting Angelina Jordan, Carlie. Keep doin' what you do, and God be with you.
She was 9 years old in i put a spell on u here are some songs to get u down the rabbit hole 1 GLOOMY SUNDAY 7YEARS OLD 2 SHIELD ORIGINAL SONG AT 12 YEARS OLD 3 FELLING GOOD AT 8YEARS OLD SHE HAD A COLD WHEN SHE PERFORMED IT 4 I RATHER GO BLIND AT 13 YEARS OLD 5 ABOVE THE WATER WAS WRITTEN BY TRXD FOR HER TO SING IT IS EDM SONG 6 STILL HOLDING OUT FOR YOU AGE 10 7 7TH HEAVEN AGE 14 OR 15 8 BANG BANG NORWAY'S GOT TALENT AGE 8 9 EASY ON ME 15 YEARS OLD 10 HOW GREAT THOU ART 12 YEARS OLD I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU SHE STARTED SINGING AT 1 AND A HALF SHE STARTED ARRANGING HER OWN MUSIC AT 8 YEARS OLD THE BAREFOOT PRINCESS OR QUEEN OF JAZZ OR WHAT I REFER TO HER AS GOD'S ANGEL OF MUSIC GOOD LUCK I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK 2
The story I heard is that she became aware that there were many children in the world who had no shoes, so she decided that she would record/perform barefoot to draw attention to this problem/condition.
Angelina was only two months into her 9th year here, so yes, you were close on the age! This is the first song I heard from her three years ago when I first discovered her, and she put her spell on me! I've been lost in this deep rabbit hole ever since. Someone lowers me down some milk and cookies (an occasional slice of pizza) every now and then -- and I'm content!
It was like, 9 years ago,, My daughter was serving over seas and called me at some ungodly hr. I panicked thinking she was hurt or somthing but no, she was at a concert. She was freking out about this little girl who I could here in a background belting out Bang Bang and we have been fans and fallowed this angel rise ever since. She Is Amazing. I think she will be the Queen of Music for years to come setting the New bar for others to aspire to. Those to comfortable with rehashing others music riming rather then singing or relying on Auto tune will be in trouble.
Carlie, I have seen a LOT of reactions to this otherworldly performance, but I don't think I've seen anyone as stunned and dumbfounded and unable to process as you. 😁 Fantastic reaction to this unbelievable performance!
Carlie thanks for this beautiful reaction with this unreal Angelina's cover, this song is a important step to understand the uniqueness of Angelina's talent and her incredible passion and understanding for music. She is absolutely out of the ordinary, but she is also so tremendously charming that she captivates and amazes you every time, she is surely the only 9 year old girl who has the courage and the ability to take this song from Screaming' Jay and rearrange it according to her sensibility and musical vision. I think sincerely that this is perhaps the most beautiful version of this song made, in more than 50 years since it was written. 💛🧡❤
Awesome reaction and go to Wikipedia and read her bio! She just turned 17 and hasn't even hit the Mainstream yet to have such an impressive bio. She to me is The Female Elvis of our time, enjoy, God Bless!
*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 go to Angelina's official website to purchase her book.
@@johndoe-gt6gp ruclips.net/video/NwQ7sSI2ork/видео.html Not quite J. D, Chk this interview she give AGT before singing Bohemian Rhapsody. Angelina tells the story on her AGT pre-show interview... Never once did she say she dusted her feet not to dirty the scale... He embellished some, which is disrespectful to Angelina... Her fans need to be accurate. I requested the link to the video where she states it, but never provided it.. this time around, omitted what I pointed out. I can provide you another video he claims she said something and it's just not true... I believe this contributes to much misinformation provided to reactors who then pass it on... I respect that we are anxious to be very well informed and pass it on... But we should be cognizant of it's validity. Peace to you both. Thnx and HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGELINA 🎂🎉🎶👏🏻🎊🎉🎶💕🎹🎵🎷🎤🎼
@@gottabeemee Andy’s description closely follows the story in her book. In her book, based on her diary entries from that day, she says she removed her shoes and stepped on the scale several times. Just as Andy indicated. As a matter of fact I think some of Andy’s narrative is taken, or paraphrased, straight from the book. Have you read her book? Because I have. That’s how I know Andy’s explanation so closely resembles what she herself wrote. If not I would highly recommend it if you want to be well informed. You can get it on her website and all profits go to charity.
@@johndoe-gt6gp Thnx John...just doesn't make sense to paraphrase when it's proper writing to put quotation marks around anything being documented from the source. I've always seen that some folks actually say in the comments quote or excerpt from the book and at the bottom put helpful info on purchasing it, which he did do. I appreciate your comment, PEACE Fellow Angel!
@@gottabeemee That may be. It’s been many years since I studied composition. But Andy, I think, is just trying to be as accurate as possible while at the same time condensing a few pages out of a book into a digestible comment. He seems to care a lot about AJ and righting all the rumors that are replete on YT.
I absolutely love your reactions, the story about the barefoot princess, why she sings barefoot. She met a six year old girl in the Middle East, who is very poor, and weighing people on a scale for money. She befriended the little girl and they talked for hours. Angelina took the boots off her feet that was her favorite pair of boots and gave them to the little girl. She asked a little girl what she wanted to be when she grew up, she said a doctor, but because of her circumstances that would never happen. The barefoot princess told her never to give up on her dream, and that she could be anything. The little girl asked what Angelina wanted to be. She said a superstar. The little girl said that she would pray for Angelina every day for her dream to come true. Since then, Angelina has always vowed to perform barefoot, whenever she’s in public out of respect for the little girl, and all the other children who cannot afford shoes. Again, it shows that Angelina is absolutely an angel sent from heaven. Not only a musical genius, but a huge heart. She also wrote a book about this incident, and is now the youngest published author in Norway. Can’t wait for your next reaction.
I admire your reaction. It very well reflects the experience that most of us here experienced when first hearing this song. I’m my case in the local Pub I’d to excuse me crying to the staff, because I was listening to Angelina. Now she got older and have many new stuff, but not to forget all to amazing stuff she did at 13 and younger, I give you a list here of must listen, too. - Fly me to moon - Frank Sinatra - Feeling good - Michael Bulb - What a difference a day made - Dinah Washington - A mans world - James Brown (look for enhanced sound version) - Every time we say goodbye - Ella Fitzgerald - When we were young - Adel - Someone like you - Adel - Millions year ago - Adel - I have nothing - Whitney Houston (now there is newer version from her at 16) - Diamonds are for ever - Bond 007 - Back to Black - Amy Winehouse - I rather go blind - Etta James (raw and looooong dynamic tone) - Stay - Rihanna - Born to die - Lana Del Rey - Young and beautiful - Lana Del Rey - All of me - John Legend - A natural woman - Aretha Franklin - Something’s got a hold on me - Gospel - A song for A - Nico Cartoio (Classic based on poem by Rob Burns 1783) - How great thou art - Elvis Presley (AJ lowest registers) - I’m still holding out for you - originally written for her, but refused by parents due to suicidal ending, hence “Leaked”.
If you want to have your mind blown watch AJ age 6 at her 1st studio recording 'I Who have nothing or AJ's all 4 songs on Norway got talent or portraitof a child to see who is boss. Our Queen of Jazz 🎺
Yeah..Angelina made history here. There really is no other "something like this" out there. Possibly the most remarkable 3-min on YT! It is truly a conundrum when we try to rationalize how it is possible that this tiny sweet-faced 9yo Norwegian girl can step up to a microphone, flip some switch within her, become this "beast-mode" version of herself (most probably named "AJ don't play"), deliver an extraordinary and musically and socially sophisticated performance, then just-like-that return to the pensive young lady once again... There aren't words for this! "I Put a Spell On You" has been covered many times and is recognized as a classic, yet almost never is the tone of the original 1956 "Screamin" Jay Hawkins version captured. This is because Hawkins was the original shock-rock guy (think Ozzy Osbourne-type craziness) and his style is difficult to emulate and also because his dated delivery is uncomfortable and stereotypical to our modern sensibilities. Yet Angelina respectfully sings his own song in a manner that exceeds his (Hawkin's image is on the candle she holds at the start of her video). It sounds like you have but if not you must go and listen to Hawkins' original (and throw in a couple of "famous" covers as well) to see the true genius in how AJ incorporates many of his vocal elements [usually omitted by most singers]. This shows another aspect of her musical IQ and arranging genius (not to mention her masterful control of her vocal instrument equaled by few others regardless of age).

Loved the look of joy and wonder on your face as you experienced this magical performance. You are off to a great start! Looking forward to seeing more Angelina with you.
At 9 yrs. old, she not only slayed the vocals, but it's HER arrangement. When you see her handing the conductor a sheet of paper. That's her instructions for the arrangement!
Shock Rock, Angelina certainly got this tribute to Screaming Jay Hawkins right. Its shocking that a 9 year old can put on such a good performance with a song like this, its hard for the mind to fathom how Angelina does this , i regard this along with Elvis Presley's In the Ghetto my favourite songs of all time. Great reaction, i will be subscribing so i can watch your journey with Angelina.
Oh Carly it is best not to try and understand Angelina, only to experience the what the Creator took his time with before bestowing humanity with such a gift.
Angelina jordan astar is definitly the goddess of music and vocal and she is the boss from this arrangement, with 9 years old, and her voice is crazy, absolutly under control, low and high, ruspy..of sure talented, but she is always hard working on her voice and music, since she is on earth. She have so much disciplin, and this is importent, not much humens have such a disciplin. She is the new DIVA ever 👑♥️🌹💫
Rabbit hole .. she has something like 108+ covers .. plus a handful of originals. Her first full length album is due out this year .. she is signed with Republic Records as of 2020
Great reaction Carlie! Her fans call her The Barefoot Princess. She always performs with no shoes when she sings. Why? The reason is very special. When she was 6 years old, she was traveling with her family in Iran where she met a shoeless homeless girl in the streets that was about her age. She made money by weighing people. After speaking with her for a few minutes, Angelina noticed the scars on the girl's feet and asked the girl what her dream is. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor but she couldn't because she had to make money for her family. Angelina did what came natural to her, she gave the little girl her shoes and told her to not give up on her dreams. Since then, Angelina has performed barefoot in honor of that little girl and to those who are less fortunate around the world. She keeps this promise to this day. One of the reasons why we love her so much!
As you travel through Angelina’s works consider that there is video of her singing at eighteen months of age. At three she tells her Mother she wants to sing on that Simon show. Enters school at four and is studying music theory at five. Speaks Norwegian, Persian and English fluently by six and is reading English lyrics at five. No vocal lessons, just pure ability. See her in sound booth at six where she records four songs Rolling In The Deep, Hurt, Sky Fall and most notable I Who Have Nothing which is well worth reacting to. No child singer has ever done what she has done what three year old falls in love with Jazz.
She has had training. It is just from the artists themselves. There is another young sing who basically learned to sing Opera from youtube. Her name is Laura Bretan. Back to Angelina, you've seen her adopt vocal characteristics of other singers. Then after a certain time with each she will use a form of those characteristics to keep as tools for whatever song she thinks would be a addition to the music. She has done this 3 times and has developed a sound that you can recognize immediately.
CarlieShea, your reactions are a delight to watch, we've all had a spell put on us by Angelina, so happy you've joined the group, not sure what to recommend for you to do next, i personally love Listening to Angelina cover Elvis songs, suspicious minds is one of my Favourites, I would love Angelina to cover Elvis's, If i can Dream and In the ghetto . These are 2 of my all time favourites from Elvis and i love watching reactions to them. I'm sure Angelina would do truly Epic covers of them, maybe even matching Elvis.😊🌏
This performance might be unique in her catalog, in terms of the "shout-singing" style she was using (not to mention all the growling, etc.) and just how hard she was going on the vocal, overall, but it is not at all unique in terms of being "jaw-dropping". For someone who is so young, she has an _astonishing_ number of absolutely *incredible* performances. Of all kinds. My own favorites happen to be the really subtle ones. Those usually take a while for reacters to get around to, since most early recommendations are for the "barnburners", like this one. For the record, though, one of top my favorites is her live rendition of Adele's "When We Were Young" at Prøysenhuset, in Norway, in 2019 (a few months before she went on AGT), on Boris Palenovski's channel. It's easy enough to find with a search, I think. (There are actually two versions on his channel, the original with 1.1M views and a lesser-known "a/v enhanced" version with 36K views that has louder, clearer audio.)
You're right, no 8-year-old can sing like this. She was 9. I love hearing people respond to Angelina, especially when they are as enthusiastic as you are. I subscribed so I can hear more of your reactions to the famous Barefoot Angel.
This Angelina’s arrangement too. She is nine years and two months old in this performance. She is the youngest Norwegian citizen to have written a book and had it published. She was nine years old when she wrote her book.
The Barefoot Princess is to keep her promise to a poor lil gal that was weighing people to make money for food she had no shoes Angelina gave her her Shoes and vowed to be shoeless while singing and the lil girl said she would pray for Angelina to Sing to the World. Now they were both age 5-6 yrs of age
When fans talk about her it sounds like exaggeration until you have listened to her whole catalogue. She IS seasoned here. After all she entered Norways Got Talent at 7 was 8 by the final and she is 9 here and had already performed all over the world. Watch her whole NGT run. Then her FLY ME TO THE MOON, and WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKE, which is a large outdoor concert with backing singers. Then you realise she is a a professional here.
I hope you listen to her performances last summer when she had 3 concerts in Norway. She is TALL! And supermodel besutiful. Watch out .music world a storm is coming. She went to the Grammys on Sunday and met the icons of the industry. She graduates in June. Soon after we all hope her album drops. The same people who promote Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande and others will be promoting her. Carlie, the best is yet to cone.
Barely 9 and does her own arrangements. You can see on their faces the band is trying hard not to smile, They cal her The Boss. Incomprehensible how she can be so good. And a wonderful humanitarian to boot.
As you continue to delve into Angelina’s catalogue of cover and original songs you will discover that she never disappoints her listeners. Each performance will have you asking yourself, “How have I not heard of this phenomenally talented and supremely gifted young artist before?” Angelina is a very uniquely talented young lady. She travels in her own lane and there is no one else like her. Angelina’s covers are often better than the original artist’s performances. Her arrangements and her vocal performances often elicit an emotional reaction from us because she has a highly developed intellect, intuition, instincts and feel for what the lyrics, melody and arrangement should be interpreted as being. When Angelina sings the emotion and passion pierces our hearts and souls. I often say that listening to Angelina sing has a healing affect on us.
🎉 HaPpY BiRtHDaY AnGeLiNa 🎉 Age 9 (& 2 months). Perhaps the best performance ever by a 9 year old. The ending 13 seconds with 1 breath. Love this reaction! Please do more!
The most impressive thing about her, especially at this young age, is her timing and inflection...impeccable. Now go back two more years when she competed on (and won) Norske Talenter (Norway's Got Talent, sorta) But grab some duct tape cuz your head just might explode 😂
So many comments already, so I’ll just going to explain the barefoot part :-) When Angelina was 6 she was traveling through the Middle-East. She met a poor girl in the streets who was weighing people for a living. That girl was barefoot and her feet were scarred. Angelina gave her boots to that girl. Since she has performed barefoot both in remembrance of that girl and to raise awareness for the plight of many poor kids around the world. She has participated in many charity events to raise help underprivileged people. Apart from an inspiring artist, Angelina is also an inspiring person who is kind, caring and genuine.
First: HAPPY BIRTHDAY Angelina. To be a young girl who never has been heavely promoted she sure as hell has song a lot around the world. When US, UK and Germany did TV programs of very talented kids they had to show Angelina. When Norah Jones did a consert in Corea for ca 40 000 people they got Angelina to warm up. When Alan Walker hold a live stream where he used an orchestra he called for Angelina to sing. When America got talent wanted to promote their show AGT Campion they called for Angelina. I stop there but could have written a lot more.
Angelina is known as the girl with a thousand voices because she can choose and create the perfect voice for whatever she’s singing. Her talent is immense-as a singer, arranger, and musician. She’s actually 9 in this video, and she arranged this version herself, manipulated her voice to give us that low tone, the sass, the rasp, the growls-because it is essential for the genre of I Put a Spell on You. And the even better news for you is that Angelina sings beautifully, as you heard yesterday, in so many different styles. You’ve got so much ahead of you. Angelina is once in a lifetime.
Angelina was 9 years old in this performance - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version - 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 the same band at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and gives them some instructions. There are English subtitles as the spoken language is Norwegian: ruclips.net/video/SAkZDAXJA4E/видео.html
@@C00ltronix Here is the video without English subtitles - here is the basic translation: 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
As a musician, pay close attention to her musical arrangements. If you notice how good the musicians sound, it’s because during rehearsal she makes sure that everyone plays accordingly, hence her nickname “Boss” given to her by musicians at a very young age. This child is able to hear if any of the players miss a stroke by half a note, and very, very respectfully she’s able to correct them. Absolutely incredible. Thanks for the reactions.❤
Yeah, also throws out little change ideas a few times in the rehearsal videos on her grandma's channel. Quite on top of things. Or they'll ask her as well. That's absolutely messed up. It already made no sense a kid knew what she wanted to be and enjoyed real music from 3 years old. But there she is existing in real life somehow. Mastering it like she has thirty years of experience by the time she was 9. Understanding it like that by the time she was 7. I wonder if she knows she's an example of what humans can be, and what that means. Inspiration personified. To get that close to potential isn't human really, at least not yet.
@@ragnarkisten Yeah we'd have to assume those around her, her family and musicians have been a massive help. There to help her learn, there to just be a part of it. Not a lot of selfishness, ego's turned off as best they can. The credit she receives is a testament to all of them, all credit to her, means loads of it to them too. A kid is never this good, this confident and experienced. Clearly she is special, and everyone, including other special people, found their best to give to her. Normally us humans would really struggle to even let a kid be this good at anything. Life is too complicated and so many are involved. Someone miss steps somewhere you would think, hampering her love for it and development here and there, even meaning well. I hope all her musician friends take some personal pride in her and what they were a part of. The most important part of her life probably, and the world will soon fall for her like few before in all likelihood.
9 years old here... It's the song, Screamin' Jay Hawkins got his nick name from, and it's worth noting that her performance is closer to the original than all well known covers. Here is a performance from later in his career, which contains most of the elements she based her arrangement on: m.ruclips.net/video/orNpH6iyokI/видео.html
In for your ride, great reaction! There's a reason this has over 70million views... she is also Norways youngest author as she wrote a book about her experience traveling and meeting the little girl who inspired the barefoot promise from her. Greatest jazz/ blues singer alive and destined to sit among the greatest. Happy Birthday Angelina!💖
She is barefoot, because she met a little girls who had no shoes. She gave this little girls here shoes and said she wouldn't wear shoes on stage, until the kids of the world had shoes.
It is rare for Angelina to go into beast mode, but she can. Something totally different is her cover of How great thou art. It will give you an idea of her low registers.
It's cool to watch new reactors to Angelina's performances specially the ones when she is very young and sound like a grown woman. She is one of a kind and worthy of discovering. Please do continue the rabbit hole and we, the angels, will be present.
Shea, she sang since she was age 1,5 (there is a short video). Discovering Jazz at age 2, she started practicing singing for 36 hours a week at age 3. She entered the academy of music and performing arts in Oslo at age 4 and is now at the academy in LA. My co-commentors tell you other facts. Ifyou don´t believe me, ask Robert Silva, Andy Schnell, Poolhallshark, Ole or others about me. Be safe, healthy and happy. Elmar from Germany.
I love watching someone see this for the first time and recognize the level of mental dissonance created between what we see and what we hear. I still get chills watching this after hundreds of times. She arranged this piece and we even see the band director reading her last minute changes. The band refers to her as The Boss. She knows what she wants and isn't shy about asking for it from the band in the sweetest way. Good reaction.
👣👸🏻🎷HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGELINA Angelina Jordan turns 17 today the 10th of Jan. The Barefoot Princes of Jazz ♥👣👸🏻🎷 I love this performance so much. As they say AJ don't play. We get the most stunning, amazing performance of a 9 yr old of this Jazz standard ever created. I believe it is going to go down in Jazz & Music history as the best ever for this age and in my opinion the best rendition of this song ever created Screamin Jay included. It will be revisited for Decades and will remain relevant for Generations to come. Anyone who discovers this performance for the first time today or a 100 years from today are going to be as amazed and astounded as everybody has been to this point. Think of the children who will be inspired by this one performance in the decades to come. This is an Iconic performance and will always be Iconic. Angelina has on her own from early on at 6 or 7 yrs old reintroduced what I believe will be a whole new Jazz Era and redefined by this young phenom and prodigy. That is astounding! And she is just 16 years old... That is unfathomable. She has already established her proficiency and incredible work ethic in this endeavor guided by an incredible family and professional support now surrounding her.
We know Angelina will continue to amaze! We will be here to experience and cherish it for as long as we live.... and I am praying for many more years for myself to enjoy it till the end of my days... I hope to go out of this world listening to the most beautiful voice ever created for man just as Angelina came into it to fulfill her purpose, what she was put on earth to do, sing for the whole World... and Me! To me Angelina is always singing to me transporting me to that beautiful place she inhabits when she sings and to experience it with her. She has the ability to touch hearts and souls and change lives. She has the ability to change lives on a personal level and the power to change lives on a global scale. To me no one compares. You just watched a Masterpiece! Destined to go down in Music History as the best performance by a 9 yr old, Period! Past, present & dare I say Future! I'd like to see anyone, young or old who can do a cover of this & with the justice it deserves as Angelina has done on every cover she does. ♥👣👸🏻
When Angelina was 6 years old, she and her mom were in Persia. AJ saw a crowd on the wintery, icecold and rainy street. She investigated, and saw a girl around her age, weighing people on a bathroom scale for small money. The girl was barefoot, in rags and her school homework was strewn on the street. AJ imagined herself into this girl. After befriending the girl she gave the girl her shoes and vowed to always perform barefoot until all children wear shoes. To do this you have to speak Farsi/Persian fluently.
*Treasure this "I Put a Spell on You" forever because it will never happen again, ever. She still sings this song from time to time, but not in that high of note. Because, it's hard on the vocal cords. Even for someone as experience as Angelina. I was going to recommend this one to you, so you can imagine my surprise when I checked to see what else was in your treasure chest, and only a few hours later you're already here! No doubt because of all her Angels insisting that you hear this one. I'm glad you did. I've listen to this song, no less than some 200 times and counting. It's the same reason people would download music or buy CDs, Records, etc... so that they can hear it over and over again. Apparently people are doing the same with reaction videos. It's special in the this way, because it's like we get to share our favorite song with another person and seeing how they react so something we love or like. Everyone loves to share what they like with others. So Shea, thank you for sharing your reaction with all of us Angel fans. It was a pleasure. And, you're only, just, getting started with Angelina Jordan!*
DAMN, this little lady can sing. To be so young she can belt it OUT... Plus this band is darn good also.... Plus I love the horns!!!! This is great... Very special!!!!!!!!!!!!
welcome to Angelina"s world. This performance by Angelina is considered by many to be the best performance by any child artist ever. You are right you do need to listen to some new material from this young lady. I would recommend her 2022 rendition of my funny valentine or suspicious minds her elvis cover from 2022. both of these songs really show what Angelina is able to do with her voice. I know you will enjoy anything you choose to listen to because there really are no wrong choices with this young talent. thx for your great reaction.
She was in Iran with her mother and came across a poor girl with no shoes. Angelina gave the girl her shoes and the girl said she would pray for her and her career. So she always goes barefoot to never forget the little girl. She also wrote a children's book about her experience and got top children's book in Norway. She is also known as the Barefoot Princess.
This may be the best vocal performance of all time, and she is 9 years old! I'm a 73 year old musician, absolutely love her. Happy 17th birthday Angelina! Love your reaction Carli, my jaw dropped too!!
Norway got talent. She won at 7 - 8yo, watch her do "Gloomy Sunday"..amazing.
Well, there are videos of her singing at 1.5 yrs, and she won Norway Got Talent at 7.
She arranged this performance with the band. She does it all
One of the judges on Norway's Got Talent, which Angeline won two years earlier at age 7, said it best.' "She sounds like she's been drinking whiskey since she was two years old." (She is 9 in this video by the way.)
Shea, Angelina at 10 singing I'm still holding out for you, a song that you have probably never heard, will astonish you.
Thanks for saying I love you. Yes you're the only one I hear telling me that each day I hear you. It really means a lot even though I know it's generalized. Still it feels nice to hear. Thanks for the reaction today to our angel. Yes, at 9 years old she put a spell on us all. You may enjoy next to go back to her beginning on Norway's got talent. Look up, "Angelina Jordan Norway's Got talent all performances". It should give you the video with four boxes in it for her four different performances there. I think you will really enjoy it and I look forward to your reaction. :-)
She has an Old Soul, To be that seasoned!!!❤
The man on the candle is Screaming Jay Hawkings. He is the original artist who sang this song.
She is 9 years and 2 months and as far as being seasond,, well she has been in the studio since 6years old auditioned on TV at age 7, won the NGT show at 8, went to the USA and went on American TV at 8, then did this at 9, at 10 years old she did "I Feel Good" in a concert, then went home from school and sang a Disco song "I Will Survive" and also poped off a leaked song that the original singer Baby fuzZ had just reliesed and days later she had done her own AJ version of "I'm Still Holdimg Out For You" ... then Frank Sinatras "My Way" then went did many many from 11-15 and out all are unbelievable and out did it her way only a few were just covers. Almost all she does are her own version of a cover and all are arranged by her and out all are done in one take. And please look up the reasons of her bare feet,,,, it's just unbelievable of her commitment to children's charity's and helping raise money for causes,even at 8 years old and at 17 still singing barefoot for her cause
If you want to see a croggled musician, react to "Back to black" by Angelina; there's a string player behind her in some shots... she is awesome, and commenters before me have told you most of the key points... blessed be!
AJ is a gift to the world! ❤❤❤
Thanks for the reactions.❤
She was performing for some disadvantage kids and noticed they didn't have or own any shoes so she gave her shoes to them and performes shoeless in support of them. She is Amazing!!!
Notice the notes she gave the music director at the beginning. He laughs because she calls them her wishes. It is for this and her polite and respectful demeanor that they call her "the boss." Try her at 10 (she is nine her). Feeling Good and I'm still holding out for you. Blow your mind again.
Great reaction to an old soul
Hello... I'm subscribing to your channel just because of our Princess ❤️ Angelina Jordan

This is AJ's version of the Screamin' Jay Hawkins 1956 song. BTW, that is him on the candle at the beginning. AJ arranged this... at 9 years old.
It is so cool watching someone for the first time hearing this :)
Great reaction..thank you!
The story I heard is that she became aware that there were many children in the world who had no shoes, so she decided that she would record/perform barefoot to draw attention to this problem/condition.
thanks, Shea - this remains one of my favorites!
I love this girl. She is so good. It's completely ridiculous.
Angelina was only two months into her 9th year here, so yes, you were close on the age! This is the first song I heard from her three years ago when I first discovered her, and she put her spell on me! I've been lost in this deep rabbit hole ever since. Someone lowers me down some milk and cookies (an occasional slice of pizza) every now and then -- and I'm content!
😁🌟😊💛
she was 9 years old here, but the video wasnt released until she was 10.
It was like, 9 years ago,, My daughter was serving over seas and called me at some ungodly hr. I panicked thinking she was hurt or somthing but no, she was at a concert. She was freking out about this little girl who I could here in a background belting out Bang Bang and we have been fans and fallowed this angel rise ever since. She Is Amazing. I think she will be the Queen of Music for years to come setting the New bar for others to aspire to. Those to comfortable with rehashing others music riming rather then singing or relying on Auto tune will be in trouble.
Carlie, I have seen a LOT of reactions to this otherworldly performance, but I don't think I've seen anyone as stunned and dumbfounded and unable to process as you. 😁 Fantastic reaction to this unbelievable performance!
Carlie thanks for this beautiful reaction with this unreal Angelina's cover, this song is a important step to understand the uniqueness of Angelina's talent and her incredible passion and understanding for music. She is absolutely out of the ordinary, but she is also so tremendously charming that she captivates and amazes you every time, she is surely the only 9 year old girl who has the courage and the ability to take this song from Screaming' Jay and rearrange it according to her sensibility and musical vision. I think sincerely that this is perhaps the most beautiful version of this song made, in more than 50 years since it was written. 💛🧡❤
Phenomenal.. never heard or seen her before that's unreal!! 😳👍😎🏴🇬🇧
Awesome reaction and go to Wikipedia and read her bio! She just turned 17 and hasn't even hit the Mainstream yet to have such an impressive bio. She to me is The Female Elvis of our time, enjoy, God Bless!
*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 go to Angelina's official website to purchase her book.
Thanks Andy. So many people get this wrong. They are, in a way, putting an undue burden and expectation on AJ for something she never claimed.

Not quite J. D, Chk this interview she give AGT before singing Bohemian Rhapsody. Angelina tells the story on her AGT pre-show interview... Never once did she say she dusted her feet not to dirty the scale... He embellished some, which is disrespectful to Angelina... Her fans need to be accurate. I requested the link to the video where she states it, but never provided it.. this time around, omitted what I pointed out.
I can provide you another video he claims she said something and it's just not true... I believe this contributes to much misinformation provided to reactors who then pass it on... I respect that we are anxious to be very well informed and pass it on... But we should be cognizant of it's validity. Peace to you both. Thnx and HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGELINA 🎂🎉🎶👏🏻🎊🎉🎶💕🎹🎵🎷🎤🎼
@@gottabeemee Andy’s description closely follows the story in her book. In her book, based on her diary entries from that day, she says she removed her shoes and stepped on the scale several times. Just as Andy indicated. As a matter of fact I think some of Andy’s narrative is taken, or paraphrased, straight from the book.
Have you read her book? Because I have. That’s how I know Andy’s explanation so closely resembles what she herself wrote. If not I would highly recommend it if you want to be well informed. You can get it on her website and all profits go to charity.
@@johndoe-gt6gp
Thnx John...just doesn't make sense to paraphrase when it's proper writing to put quotation marks around anything being documented from the source. I've always seen that some folks actually say in the comments quote or excerpt from the book and at the bottom put helpful info on purchasing it, which he did do. I appreciate your comment, PEACE Fellow Angel!
@@gottabeemee That may be. It’s been many years since I studied composition. But Andy, I think, is just trying to be as accurate as possible while at the same time condensing a few pages out of a book into a digestible comment. He seems to care a lot about AJ and righting all the rumors that are replete on YT.
I absolutely love your reactions, the story about the barefoot princess, why she sings barefoot. She met a six year old girl in the Middle East, who is very poor, and weighing people on a scale for money. She befriended the little girl and they talked for hours. Angelina took the boots off her feet that was her favorite pair of boots and gave them to the little girl. She asked a little girl what she wanted to be when she grew up, she said a doctor, but because of her circumstances that would never happen. The barefoot princess told her never to give up on her dream, and that she could be anything. The little girl asked what Angelina wanted to be. She said a superstar. The little girl said that she would pray for Angelina every day for her dream to come true. Since then, Angelina has always vowed to perform barefoot, whenever she’s in public out of respect for the little girl, and all the other children who cannot afford shoes. Again, it shows that Angelina is absolutely an angel sent from heaven. Not only a musical genius, but a huge heart. She also wrote a book about this incident, and is now the youngest published author in Norway. Can’t wait for your next reaction.
Exactly how it happened. Thank you for cleaning it up.
I admire your reaction. It very well reflects the experience that most of us here experienced when first hearing this song. I’m my case in the local Pub I’d to excuse me crying to the staff, because I was listening to Angelina.

I'm so ready to see you react to everything she has!!
You're cute when you're bewildered!
Yeah..Angelina made history here. There really is no other "something like this" out there. Possibly the most remarkable 3-min on YT! It is truly a conundrum when we try to rationalize how it is possible that this tiny sweet-faced 9yo Norwegian girl can step up to a microphone, flip some switch within her, become this "beast-mode" version of herself (most probably named "AJ don't play"), deliver an extraordinary and musically and socially sophisticated performance, then just-like-that return to the pensive young lady once again... There aren't words for this!
"I Put a Spell On You" has been covered many times and is recognized as a classic, yet almost never is the tone of the original 1956 "Screamin" Jay Hawkins version captured. This is because Hawkins was the original shock-rock guy (think Ozzy Osbourne-type craziness) and his style is difficult to emulate and also because his dated delivery is uncomfortable and stereotypical to our modern sensibilities. Yet Angelina respectfully sings his own song in a manner that exceeds his (Hawkin's image is on the candle she holds at the start of her video). It sounds like you have but if not you must go and listen to Hawkins' original (and throw in a couple of "famous" covers as well) to see the true genius in how AJ incorporates many of his vocal elements [usually omitted by most singers]. This shows another aspect of her musical IQ and arranging genius (not to mention her masterful control of her vocal instrument equaled by few others regardless of age). "Screamin" Jay Hawkins original "I Put A Spell on You" ruclips.net/video/orNpH6iyokI/видео.html
Loved the look of joy and wonder on your face as you experienced this magical performance. You are off to a great start! Looking forward to seeing more Angelina with you.
At 9 yrs. old, she not only slayed the vocals, but it's HER arrangement. When you see her handing the conductor a sheet of paper. That's her instructions for the arrangement!
As he said in an interview she gives us a sheet of paper with her "wishes" on it. That's what makes him smile
The band called her "the boss."
Shock Rock, Angelina certainly got this tribute to Screaming Jay Hawkins right. Its shocking that a 9 year old can put on such a good performance with a song like this, its hard for the mind to fathom how Angelina does this , i regard this along with Elvis Presley's In the Ghetto my favourite songs of all time. Great reaction, i will be subscribing so i can watch your journey with Angelina.
Oh Carly it is best not to try and understand Angelina, only to experience the what the Creator took his time with before bestowing humanity with such a gift.
Angelina jordan astar is definitly the goddess of music and vocal and she is the boss from this arrangement, with 9 years old, and her voice is crazy, absolutly under control, low and high, ruspy..of sure talented, but she is always hard working on her voice and music, since she is on earth. She have so much disciplin, and this is importent, not much humens have such a disciplin. She is the new DIVA ever 👑♥️🌹💫
Rabbit hole .. she has something like 108+ covers .. plus a handful of originals. Her first full length album is due out this year .. she is signed with Republic Records as of 2020
Great reaction Carlie! Her fans call her The Barefoot Princess. She always performs with no shoes when she sings. Why? The reason is very special. When she was 6 years old, she was traveling with her family in Iran where she met a shoeless homeless girl in the streets that was about her age. She made money by weighing people. After speaking with her for a few minutes, Angelina noticed the scars on the girl's feet and asked the girl what her dream is. The girl said she wanted to be a doctor but she couldn't because she had to make money for her family. Angelina did what came natural to her, she gave the little girl her shoes and told her to not give up on her dreams. Since then, Angelina has performed barefoot in honor of that little girl and to those who are less fortunate around the world. She keeps this promise to this day. One of the reasons why we love her so much!
Happy Bithday Angelina. You are an angel
As you travel through Angelina’s works consider that there is video of her singing at eighteen months of age. At three she tells her Mother she wants to sing on that Simon show. Enters school at four and is studying music theory at five. Speaks Norwegian, Persian and English fluently by six and is reading English lyrics at five. No vocal lessons, just pure ability. See her in sound booth at six where she records four songs Rolling In The Deep, Hurt, Sky Fall and most notable I Who Have Nothing which is well worth reacting to. No child singer has ever done what she has done what three year old falls in love with Jazz.
She has had training. It is just from the artists themselves. There is another young sing who basically learned to sing Opera from youtube. Her name is Laura Bretan. Back to Angelina, you've seen her adopt vocal characteristics of other singers. Then after a certain time with each she will use a form of those characteristics to keep as tools for whatever song she thinks would be a addition to the music. She has done this 3 times and has developed a sound that you can recognize immediately.
@@davidcochran6291 She lets the song be what it was meant to be, God Bless!
Ten! She was ten yrs here!
@@bubamaranovichok4901 9 years and 2 months. The video was made available when she was ten.

Angelina sings effortlessly and makes you smile. Keep em coming
Fun Fact: Angelina wrote a book about why she performs barefoot, and is the youngest best selling author in Norway's history...
At the time that her book was published she was the youngest published author in Norway (not just "best selling" author but, any author).
CarlieShea, your reactions are a delight to watch, we've all had a spell put on us by Angelina, so happy you've joined the group, not sure what to recommend for you to do next, i personally love Listening to Angelina cover Elvis songs, suspicious minds is one of my Favourites, I would love Angelina to cover Elvis's, If i can Dream and In the ghetto . These are 2 of my all time favourites from Elvis and i love watching reactions to them. I'm sure Angelina would do truly Epic covers of them, maybe even matching Elvis.😊🌏
This performance might be unique in her catalog, in terms of the "shout-singing" style she was using (not to mention all the growling, etc.) and just how hard she was going on the vocal, overall, but it is not at all unique in terms of being "jaw-dropping". For someone who is so young, she has an _astonishing_ number of absolutely *incredible* performances. Of all kinds. My own favorites happen to be the really subtle ones. Those usually take a while for reacters to get around to, since most early recommendations are for the "barnburners", like this one. For the record, though, one of top my favorites is her live rendition of Adele's "When We Were Young" at Prøysenhuset, in Norway, in 2019 (a few months before she went on AGT), on Boris Palenovski's channel. It's easy enough to find with a search, I think. (There are actually two versions on his channel, the original with 1.1M views and a lesser-known "a/v enhanced" version with 36K views that has louder, clearer audio.)
You're right, no 8-year-old can sing like this. She was 9. I love hearing people respond to Angelina, especially when they are as enthusiastic as you are. I subscribed so I can hear more of your reactions to the famous Barefoot Angel.
lol, as if being just nine is so far off from eight! I think it’s amazing for anyone at any age, esp so young.
This Angelina’s arrangement too. She is nine years and two months old in this performance. She is the youngest Norwegian citizen to have written a book and had it published. She was nine years old when she wrote her book.
The Barefoot Princess is to keep her promise to a poor lil gal that was weighing people to make money for food she had no shoes Angelina gave her her Shoes and vowed to be shoeless while singing and the lil girl said she would pray for Angelina to Sing to the World. Now they were both age 5-6 yrs of age
Angelina has been doing her own arrangements since she was 8 including this one
When fans talk about her it sounds like exaggeration until you have listened to her whole catalogue. She IS seasoned here. After all she entered Norways Got Talent at 7 was 8 by the final and she is 9 here and had already performed all over the world. Watch her whole NGT run. Then her FLY ME TO THE MOON, and WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKE, which is a large outdoor concert with backing singers. Then you realise she is a a professional here.
Welcome to the Angelina's Angels Club, your one of us now Girl 😇
I hope you listen to her performances last summer when she had 3 concerts in Norway. She is TALL! And supermodel besutiful. Watch out .music world a storm is coming. She went to the Grammys on Sunday and met the icons of the industry. She graduates in June. Soon after we all hope her album drops. The same people who promote Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande and others will be promoting her. Carlie, the best is yet to cone.
Barely 9 and does her own arrangements. You can see on their faces the band is trying hard not to smile, They cal her The Boss.
Incomprehensible how she can be so good.
And a wonderful humanitarian to boot.
Check out her when she was 7 on norways got talent. she has been singing since she was 2
Always a pleasure seeing reactors discover Miss Jordan =)
As you continue to delve into Angelina’s catalogue of cover and original songs you will discover that she never disappoints her listeners. Each performance will have you asking yourself, “How have I not heard of this phenomenally talented and supremely gifted young artist before?” Angelina is a very uniquely talented young lady. She travels in her own lane and there is no one else like her.
Angelina’s covers are often better than the original artist’s performances. Her arrangements and her vocal performances often elicit an emotional reaction from us because she has a highly developed intellect, intuition, instincts and feel for what the lyrics, melody and arrangement should be interpreted as being. When Angelina sings the emotion and passion pierces our hearts and souls. I often say that listening to Angelina sing has a healing affect on us.
Una delle sue cover strabiliante Grandissima Angelina Jordan. Oggi compie 17 di grandissimo talento
She’s nine years old in two months here she runs the song herself. She’s a musical prodigy.
🎉 HaPpY BiRtHDaY AnGeLiNa 🎉 Age 9 (& 2 months). Perhaps the best performance ever by a 9 year old. The ending 13 seconds with 1 breath. Love this reaction! Please do more!
…and the last twelve words… a capella! 🖤👣
Happy 17th Birthday to Angelina Jordan, the greatest female vocalist of our time! We're along for the ride.
The most impressive thing about her, especially at this young age, is her timing and inflection...impeccable.
Now go back two more years when she competed on (and won) Norske Talenter (Norway's Got Talent, sorta) But grab some duct tape cuz your head just might explode 😂
She is 9 in this and the arrangement is hers based on the original video of Screaming Jay Hawkins made in 1956. The originator of shock rock.
She can single handedly bring back jazz.
Angelina is a vocal chameleon, her gift is she can perfectly imitate other singers…The question is, what is her sound?
So many comments already, so I’ll just going to explain the barefoot part :-) When Angelina was 6 she was traveling through the Middle-East. She met a poor girl in the streets who was weighing people for a living. That girl was barefoot and her feet were scarred. Angelina gave her boots to that girl. Since she has performed barefoot both in remembrance of that girl and to raise awareness for the plight of many poor kids around the world. She has participated in many charity events to raise help underprivileged people. Apart from an inspiring artist, Angelina is also an inspiring person who is kind, caring and genuine.
First: HAPPY BIRTHDAY Angelina. To be a young girl who never has been heavely promoted she sure as hell has song a lot around the world. When US, UK and Germany did TV programs of very talented kids they had to show Angelina. When Norah Jones did a consert in Corea for ca 40 000 people they got Angelina to warm up. When Alan Walker hold a live stream where he used an orchestra he called for Angelina to sing. When America got talent wanted to promote their show AGT Campion they called for Angelina. I stop there but could have written a lot more.
❤❤❤❤❤
yes indeed, word of mouth, and sharing of videos can spread like wildfire for such an amazing person.
ur great shea thanks...
Angelina is known as the girl with a thousand voices because she can choose and create the perfect voice for whatever she’s singing. Her talent is immense-as a singer, arranger, and musician. She’s actually 9 in this video, and she arranged this version herself, manipulated her voice to give us that low tone, the sass, the rasp, the growls-because it is essential for the genre of I Put a Spell on You. And the even better news for you is that Angelina sings beautifully, as you heard yesterday, in so many different styles. You’ve got so much ahead of you. Angelina is once in a lifetime.
She needs someone who write original songs for her. its pretty impossibly to get world famous to be a cover singer.
She’s writing her own originals and the latest is already burning up the charts!
And she’s just 17!!
Angelina was 9 years old in this performance - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version - 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 the same band at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and gives them some instructions. There are English subtitles as the spoken language is Norwegian: ruclips.net/video/SAkZDAXJA4E/видео.html
seems the video is gone, damn....
@@C00ltronix Here is the video without English subtitles - here is the basic translation: 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
As a musician, pay close attention to her musical arrangements. If you notice how good the musicians sound, it’s because during rehearsal she makes sure that everyone plays accordingly, hence her nickname “Boss” given to her by musicians at a very young age. This child is able to hear if any of the players miss a stroke by half a note, and very, very respectfully she’s able to correct them. Absolutely incredible. Thanks for the reactions.❤
Yeah, also throws out little change ideas a few times in the rehearsal videos on her grandma's channel. Quite on top of things. Or they'll ask her as well. That's absolutely messed up. It already made no sense a kid knew what she wanted to be and enjoyed real music from 3 years old. But there she is existing in real life somehow. Mastering it like she has thirty years of experience by the time she was 9. Understanding it like that by the time she was 7.
I wonder if she knows she's an example of what humans can be, and what that means. Inspiration personified. To get that close to potential isn't human really, at least not yet.
These are some of Norway's finest musicians. Make no mistake about it. The pianist for instance, is a pure genius!
@@ragnarkisten Yeah we'd have to assume those around her, her family and musicians have been a massive help. There to help her learn, there to just be a part of it. Not a lot of selfishness, ego's turned off as best they can. The credit she receives is a testament to all of them, all credit to her, means loads of it to them too. A kid is never this good, this confident and experienced. Clearly she is special, and everyone, including other special people, found their best to give to her. Normally us humans would really struggle to even let a kid be this good at anything. Life is too complicated and so many are involved. Someone miss steps somewhere you would think, hampering her love for it and development here and there, even meaning well. I hope all her musician friends take some personal pride in her and what they were a part of. The most important part of her life probably, and the world will soon fall for her like few before in all likelihood.
@@ryanjacob3338 I heard a lot of credit goes to her grandma, helping her all the ways possible.
May I ask you for your specific qualifications to make you a musician? Not being offensive, but it's not exactly super defined anymore.
Fierce Masterpiece! Fearless, timeless and ageless. Wonderful ❣️
9 years old here... It's the song, Screamin' Jay Hawkins got his nick name from, and it's worth noting that her performance is closer to the original than all well known covers. Here is a performance from later in his career, which contains most of the elements she based her arrangement on: m.ruclips.net/video/orNpH6iyokI/видео.html
In for your ride, great reaction! There's a reason this has over 70million views... she is also Norways youngest author as she wrote a book about her experience traveling and meeting the little girl who inspired the barefoot promise from her. Greatest jazz/ blues singer alive and destined to sit among the greatest. Happy Birthday Angelina!💖
Watch her sing Billy Holiday at 7 years old
She is barefoot, because she met a little girls who had no shoes. She gave this little girls here shoes and said she wouldn't wear shoes on stage, until the kids of the world had shoes.
It is rare for Angelina to go into beast mode, but she can. Something totally different is her cover of How great thou art. It will give you an idea of her low registers.
She is incredible! Love your reaction!
It's cool to watch new reactors to Angelina's performances specially the ones when she is very young and sound like a grown woman. She is one of a kind and worthy of discovering. Please do continue the rabbit hole and we, the angels, will be present.
Shea, she sang since she was age 1,5 (there is a short video). Discovering Jazz at age 2, she started practicing singing for 36 hours a week at age 3. She entered the academy of music and performing arts in Oslo at age 4 and is now at the academy in LA.
My co-commentors tell you other facts.
Ifyou don´t believe me, ask Robert Silva, Andy Schnell, Poolhallshark, Ole or others about me.
Be safe, healthy and happy. Elmar from Germany.
I love watching someone see this for the first time and recognize the level of mental dissonance created between what we see and what we hear. I still get chills watching this after hundreds of times. She arranged this piece and we even see the band director reading her last minute changes. The band refers to her as The Boss. She knows what she wants and isn't shy about asking for it from the band in the sweetest way. Good reaction.
👣👸🏻🎷HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGELINA Angelina Jordan turns 17 today the 10th of Jan. The Barefoot Princes of Jazz ♥👣👸🏻🎷
I love this performance so much. As they say AJ don't play. We get the most stunning, amazing performance of a 9 yr old of this Jazz standard ever created. I believe it is going to go down in Jazz & Music history as the best ever for this age and in my opinion the best rendition of this song ever created Screamin Jay included. It will be revisited for Decades and will remain relevant for Generations to come. Anyone who discovers this performance for the first time today or a 100 years from today are going to be as amazed and astounded as everybody has been to this point.
Think of the children who will be inspired by this one performance in the decades to come. This is an Iconic performance and will always be Iconic. Angelina has on her own from early on at 6 or 7 yrs old reintroduced what I believe will be a whole new Jazz Era and redefined by this young phenom and prodigy. That is astounding! And she is just 16 years old... That is unfathomable. She has already established her proficiency and incredible work ethic in this endeavor guided by an incredible family and professional support now surrounding her.
We know Angelina will continue to amaze! We will be here to experience and cherish it for as long as we live.... and I am praying for many more years for myself to enjoy it till the end of my days... I hope to go out of this world listening to the most beautiful voice ever created for man just as Angelina came into it to fulfill her purpose, what she was put on earth to do, sing for the whole World... and Me! To me Angelina is always singing to me transporting me to that beautiful place she inhabits when she sings and to experience it with her. She has the ability to touch hearts and souls and change lives. She has the ability to change lives on a personal level and the power to change lives on a global scale. To me no one compares.
You just watched a Masterpiece! Destined to go down in Music History as the best performance by a 9 yr old, Period! Past, present & dare I say Future! I'd like to see anyone, young or old who can do a cover of this & with the justice it deserves as Angelina has done on every cover she does. ♥👣👸🏻

When you can, give a listen to Angelina Jorden singing I’d rather go blind, enjoy
When Angelina was 6 years old, she and her mom were in Persia. AJ saw a crowd on the wintery, icecold and rainy street. She investigated, and saw a girl around her age, weighing people on a bathroom scale for small money. The girl was barefoot, in rags and her school homework was strewn on the street. AJ imagined herself into this girl. After befriending the girl she gave the girl her shoes and vowed to always perform barefoot until all children wear shoes. To do this you have to speak Farsi/Persian fluently.
*Treasure this "I Put a Spell on You" forever because it will never happen again, ever. She still sings this song from time to time, but not in that high of note. Because, it's hard on the vocal cords. Even for someone as experience as Angelina. I was going to recommend this one to you, so you can imagine my surprise when I checked to see what else was in your treasure chest, and only a few hours later you're already here! No doubt because of all her Angels insisting that you hear this one. I'm glad you did. I've listen to this song, no less than some 200 times and counting. It's the same reason people would download music or buy CDs, Records, etc... so that they can hear it over and over again. Apparently people are doing the same with reaction videos. It's special in the this way, because it's like we get to share our favorite song with another person and seeing how they react so something we love or like. Everyone loves to share what they like with others. So Shea, thank you for sharing your reaction with all of us Angel fans. It was a pleasure. And, you're only, just, getting started with Angelina Jordan!*
He’s nine years old in two months here she reads this song for sale to the musical prodigy you’re right it’s God-given
Enjoy your adventure down the Angelina Jordan rabbit hole. Amazing reaction as always

If this is your first time hearing Angelina, welcome to a whole wonderful world full of beautiful and surprising singing!

Your smile, eyes, and voice convey what millions of us feel.
welcome to Angelina"s world. This performance by Angelina is considered by many to be the best performance by any child artist ever. You are right you do need to listen to some new material from this young lady. I would recommend her 2022 rendition of my funny valentine or suspicious minds her elvis cover from 2022. both of these songs really show what Angelina is able to do with her voice. I know you will enjoy anything you choose to listen to because there really are no wrong choices with this young talent. thx for your great reaction.
