"The reason I chose this song is completely random. I love jazz, but "Gloomy Sunday" was random. It was a night I could not sleep and my mother was stressed that I was awake long after midnight. Then I borrowed my mom's iPad where I wanted to listen to jazz on RUclips before I fell asleep. Then came a picture of a beautiful lady screaming at the sky and with her eyes closed... I'm talking about jazz queen Billie Holiday. I heard the song "Gloomy Sunday" that night and then I had to hear it every day. I love the melody. I understood well what the text was about because I know English well. Every time I sang it I felt something special about it, it's hard to explain in words. When I sang it for mom, she said that this song is nice, but that it was incredibly sad song". - Angelina Jordan (age 7 in an interview before the show aired) Aside from being beyond her years in singing, Angelina has always seemed beyond her years in intellect and wisdom as well. She is able to convey the emotion of a song like this because she (somehow) understands the emotions behind the song.
I remember wery well the shock i had the first time i heard this. I was looking at this the very first time it was on the tv here in Norway. A little fun fact Rusty. You probably know the story about one of the judges here? Omer Bhatti?
Yes Rusty. I’d lay a bet on her knowing a lot more about that song than just being a ‘Sad Sunday’. I’m assuming that’s all she said on the show, but it was recorded and not live.

The blond-haired lady crying is Mom. She said, 'it was at that moment that Angelina wasn't just her little girl anymore, but that she also belonged to the world'. Thanks Mom!!!!!!
You are officially an “Angel” which is what Angelina’s fans are called. If you didn’t tear up you would not be normal. That’s just what she does. She has an incredible ability to communicate emotion through her singing. I’m really looking forward to seeing your next reaction. Thanks.
Tears are your brain's way of recognizing and expressing how overwhelmingly good she is. Don't try to hold back the tide, my friend. Resistance is futile.
I saw this on the original show back in 2014. When I heard her say what she was going to sing, in the intro, before she entered the stage, I was thinking " no no no, don't do a jazz classic from Billie Holiday! You are 7 years old! Do something for Annie or something a young child can do." I was so nervous for her. That cute little girl. And then she started to sing.. Naturally, I was shocked. I laughed, I cried. And I was an instant fan. I knew then and there that this was obviously the greatest talent on that show. And probably the greatest song talent in modern times. I still belive she is the latter. There is now and also has been in previous times GREAT song talents. But she is just something completely different. The emotions, rhe emotions, the emotions. The voice and control. Progressively getting better for each day still. This little angel is indeed blessed. 💖
What a blessing that you were there at the start of her public music career! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and thoughts when you were there! That is a treasure to all of us who love her too. I caught that show with my daughter on the internet back then and we were very impressed too, and have been a fan of hers ever since too!
Jordan attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program ♥👣 Here is a quote from Angelina (7y) from an interview with TV2 after her Audions NTG 2014. "The reason I chose this song is completely random. I love jazz, but" Gloomy Sunday "was random. It was a night I could not sleep and my mother was stressed that I was awake long after midnight. Then I borrowed my mom's iPad where I wanted to listen to jazz on RUclips before I fell asleep. Then came a picture of a beautiful lady screaming at the sky and with her eyes closed. I heard the song "Glommy Sunday" that night and then I had to hear it every day. I love the melody. I understood well what the text was about because I know English well. Every time I sang it I felt something special about it, it's hard to explain in words. When I sang it for mom, she said that this song is nice, but that it was incredibly sad song. " ♥👣 Christian Honkanen One of the judges (Omer Bhatti) commented on Angelina's performance on AGT saying: “We were in shock when she started to sing…it was a discussion whether it was an impression of that kind of music (ref to Gloomy Sunday performance) or the real deal…and the next time we saw her, she owned the stage, when she rehearsed, she told the bassist what she wanted and had full control. And we were like…ok…you are a star…we have something special here… David Fehlman In a interview after this performance Angelina's mom was asked why she was crying during her performance?? Were they happy tears?? Mom said; " They were happy tears but they were also sad tears because I know I just lost my daughter to the world at that point in time” ♥
I've seen it said that she KNOWS where each of us keeps our hearts, and how to touch it. She is an addiction for me, in 73 years I've never seen or heard a singer as proficient or effective.
Angelina said in an interview with American songwriter , “I have to say if it wasn't for the unconditional love that came from Billie Holiday’s legendary music, there would not be Angelina Jordan today. I am very blessed today that her music found me very early, ” 💯 *AJ* 💯
Your emotions are refreshing! Your wife is pregnant too, lol! Thats a soul thing!! Angelina just touches the soul the minute she starts her first note!! Fantastic reaction! Thank You!!
You are astonishing about a 7y old Girl,who is able to sing like Billie Holiday?? Look her second Song of NGT, there she sang another Song of her, but this time acapella 💃🎹 She told later in an interview, there would be no Angelina without BH, BH found her one night 🙏🎵 You will see those magic Vibes in every Song. She developed it to masterclass, it's one of her trademarks
Her voice drips with sincerity. You believe every word that comes from her mouth. She is already learning about nuance. She is a perfect match for Billie's version. She has changed some of the words to deflect the darker meanings of this song. Angelina is one half a pair of young singers I call, 'The Twins' They are two of a kind in that they both compel the listener to feel their songs. They both know how to get you to become part of the performance. There are reasons I call them 'The Twins'. They were both born in 2006. They both possess voices of seemingly much older singers. They have both won major singing competitions. They both are heavily into their families and their families support them completely. They are both well liked by everyone including their competition. The other half of the Twins is of course Daneliya Tuleshova. I found both these wunderkind's three nights apart in the wee hours of morning as I deal with chronic pain and many nights I am awakened by some vicious bouts with it. I always turn to the internet, by the way what a blessing the computer and the net are, when the pain gets worse I start cruising the net looking for new singers to listen to. The girls both have different directions Angelina leaning towards Jazz, while Daneliya is more Pop oriented. I am going to give you Daneliya's blind audition to The Voice Kids Ukraine. She sings Demi Lavato's 'Stone Cold' that went viral and has over 76 million views. However, you must listen to her whole audition to hear what the judges/coaches say to her about her ability. It comes with English subtitles. The audition is 10:30 long but she does sing a second song as an encore. But what they say to her is amazing. I leave the link at the bottom. These two young ladies are going to be special for years to come. I am also leaving you a short but amazing TikTok performance by Angelina. ruclips.net/video/jGUqIU6u8Ew/видео.html Daneliya at 10 years old 'Stone Cold' Please watch the whole thing. If you want to divide it up and react only to the first half, but continue to watch as what the coaches say to her and to the audience about her. You wont be wasting your time. ruclips.net/video/MzGEz9y_tAI/видео.html Angelina at 16 years old. Adele's 'Love Is A Game' It is short but one of the best I have heard from her in the 4-5 years I've been following her.
You know, the young male judge there, he was living with Michael Jackson for periods, and are close with MJ’s kids to this day. He’s an artist himself. So he knows so much about good music, and for him to become speechless.
Thank you for letting us know! It is so nice to have bits and pieces of Angelina’s life and her fellow travelers come alive, like a fairy tale in a story book of wonderful adventures and magical talents and creatures.
Thanks for another great heartfelt reaction to Angelina's masterful performance at her NGT audition - at age 7. She has been blessed with the GOD given gift of a beautiful voice - & also the ability to emote the essence of each song she sings direct to our hearts & souls. This allows us to not only hear, but also to deeply FEEL her amazing music. Hope you will continue to react to the rest of her NGT performances (I'm A Fool To Want You, Bang, Bang & Summertime). Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
dude, i cried. but i've probably cried a dozen times watching the video, which i've seen at least 50 times. but when a reactor gets choked up it makes me choke up. i love how flabbergasted the judges were. oh, i'm 6'4" and 330 pounds with a big beard. lol... quite the sight to see weeping i'm sure. (if you ever figure out why it's so easy to cry for you, please tell me!)
Angelina's Family have held the young singer back, they want her to have a regular childhood without the cameras and spotlight. But when Angelina was 6 years old she recorded a Shirley Bassey Classic song "I who have Nothing" ruclips.net/video/RjQZKBpVaes/видео.html in her schools recording studio. (A performance arts school in Oslo Norway). It was then her parents relented and allowed Angelina on Norways got Talent.
She cuts you to the bone, every damn time. Another reactor brought up the Spanish term El Duende, and I think it sums it up perfectly: "El duende is the spirit of evocation. It comes from inside as a physical/emotional response to art. It is what gives you chills, makes you smile or cry as a bodily reaction to an artistic performance that is particularly expressive."
You aren't alone, that is for certain. I've been following her for 6 years and I must have heard her sing this several hundred times, and I'm still wiping away the tears, She just has the ability to reach deep in your soul and pull your emotions out through your heart. Keep reacting to this young prodigy, I enjoy each one of them.
80% of Angelina's songs bring tears to my eyes and believe me not just the first time I hear them but every time, she has such a magical touch , impossible to really explain. The beauty of it is when she is a world renowned singer we can all look back in absolute pride that we watched her grow her unique talent. Look forward to another great reaction.
Thank you for reacting to this unbelievable and emotional performance by the 7 yo Angelina, the Barefoot Angel. Kudos to people of Norway who recognized the talent of this child and called her "The National Treasure of Norway." This performance was her first appearance in public, but before this we saw Angelina at 6 yo in her school's recording studio when she performed "I Who Have Nothing", some of us knew then that we were watching a future star.
Angelina is in a class all by herself. Thankfully she has a wise, loving family who requested Republic Records to allow her to get older and finish school before fully promoting her. Until then, it is up to us angels to introduce her to more people and to boost her analytics on RUclips. G.O.T. thank you for reacting to Angelina as it will introduce her to more people. I humbly suggest you help boost her analytics but encouraging viewers to watch, like and comment on the original video and to subscribe to her two RUclips channels, Official and Cover channel.
Hi GOT, Nice reaction & I agree with what you said, & she'll keep doing that to you every time you listen to her. “The reason I chose this song is completely random. I love jazz, but “Gloomy Sunday “ was random. It was a night I could not sleep and my mother was stressed that I was awake long after midnight. Then I borrowed my mom's iPad, where I wanted to listen to jazz on RUclips before I fell asleep. Then came a picture of a beautiful lady screaming at the sky and with her eyes closed. I heard the song “Gloomy Sunday” that night and then I had to hear it every day. I love the melody. I understood well what the text was about because I know English well. Every time I sang it I felt something special about it, it's hard to explain in words. When I sang it for mom, she said that this song is nice, but that it was incredibly sad song.” (Sara, Angie's mom was asked what she thought when she saw her on the screen backstage, (she was wiping her tears when watching) “I knew I had just lost my little girl to the world”) The family has always been very close & since that even more protective of her from the entertainment industry’s vultures & hyena's. From TIME magazine This 7-Year Old's Incredible Voice Will Give You Chills as She Channels Billie Holiday BY MELISSA LOCKER MARCH 10, 2014 11:59 AM EDT A 7-year-old girl managed to absolutely wow the judges on a televised talent show with her spot-on rendition of Billy Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday.” The youngster, Angelina Jordan, appeared on the stage of “Norway’s Got Talent”, barefoot and in a white dress, and announced that she would be be singing Holiday’s dark jazz standard. The skeptical judges were blown away from the moment she started singing You might want to start from the very beginning were it all started. “I, who have nothing” by Ben E. King & covered by Tom Jones & Shirley Bassey. She’s 6 in a sound booth at her school. ruclips.net/video/RjQZKBpVaes/видео.html “Gloomy Sunday” by Billie Holiday she was 7 here on NGT Audition (you reacted & loved it) “I’m a fool to want you” cover by Billie Holiday she was 7 just turned 8 NGT quarter finals Judges cut.(a capella & haunting) ruclips.net/video/6LIcQL5gLoY/видео.html “Bang Bang” cover by Nancy Sinatra she’s 8 NGT semi finals ruclips.net/video/pcBoB49Gxn8/видео.html “Summertime” by George Gershwin ruclips.net/video/bnpFsCNKzFg/видео.html Finals on NGT & she’s 8 here.
IMO, Our generation is fortunate to witness such an extraordinary group of talented individuals. Aurora, Dimash, Kamila Valieva (Russian Figure Skater), and a very few other rare individuals who, with their talent, are changing the world for the better. Angelina stands alone in this group in that at the age of 6, she declared and initiated her world mission for the children of the world. Her barefoot appearances are a reminder that the goal cannot be forgotten.
Astonishing - it’s completely natural for her (like breathing she has said) and she has the incredible ability to connect her soul with ours through the music.
There is nothing wrong with you. Angelina has the ability to transfer the emotion of words and music into emotions you feel in your soul through her amazing and versatile voice.
She turns everyone into mush! Her grandmother is an Iranian poet and painter, who has a real love for early blues and jazz and was a big inspiration to Angelina. Angelina actually wrote a song dedicated to her grandfather who passed away called "Million Miles" and all of the artwork in the video was done by her grandmother. Make sure you have plenty of tissues handy for that one. The artwork on the outfit that she wore for her "Bohemian Rhapsody" audition on AGT was also done by her grandmother. She has a way of making you forget, if only for a moment, all of the craziness in the world today. I love you Luke, I have been here from early on, and have seen the channel really take off. I can honestly say, I couldn't be happening to a better person. Keep doing you.
Even more remarkable is Angelina’s next audition song-another Billie Holiday classic: I’m a Fool to Want You. She sings it a cappella because…why not? You hear every nuance of her incredible seven year old voice because that’s the only sound. And that one could bring you to tears, too. I know some people are born with incredible voices, but how does Angelina give us phrasing, emotion, vibrato at this age?
I still mist up every time I hear this song. I was startled the first time I heard it. It's like she's actually channeling Billie Holiday. It amazes me, even after dozens of listens, that a 7-year old Norwegian girl has the phrasing and timing of a seasoned jazz singer. She continues to be remarkable to this day.
Wise decision to watch the whole thing. There is no doubt she's seven. I love watching how people react to this. incredulity and confusion seem to be unanimous. Angelina has always seemed to be impossible. You are going to have fun, my friend. There's so many more to do. You should do the rest of her NGT run. They are all good. This audition stunned the world and it was just the beginning. This girl is a miracle. 😎
Your in pretty good company. Many many other reactors also cry and get goosebumps when they react to Angelina. I'm 72 years old and still tear up when I listen to her. She also does "I'm a Fool to Want You" by Billie Holiday. It's a rehearsal video when she was 11 done in one take. If you close your eyes you would think it's Billie Holiday singing. Angelina captures Jazz at its best. If you watch the mashup video, it's hard to tell them apart. Her second song on NGT, still at 7, is the acapella version of the same song. It was the judges elimination round. Both are amazing.
I don't know how many times I watched this video. Fantastic and unique Angelina. It is most exciting to watch the development path of a genius, as far as it can reach huge potential with support and continuous work. Her sentence that she wants to be a superstar reminded me of a long-ago show on Belgrade television where five-year-old Novak Djokovic held a tennis racket bigger than him and said "I want to be number 1"
This is when all the talk about Billie Holiday being reincarnated into a 7 year old girl from Norway, of all places. If you listen to Billie's rendition when she was 29, except for the fact that as an adult she has more power in her delivery, they otherwise sound as if one singer sang both songs. She also shows this 'vocal chameleon' ability when she cover's another jazz great named Dinah Washington. In that one, Angelina is 8 but the similarity in tone and style is so very much 'on point' with Dinah.
"Go out and give them jazz" "An old soul that has lived many lives" "You ARE music!" "You are born to sing" "We have a star!" "I could feel that sad Sunday" These words were prophetic. And to quote you, "Her voice is just something of the Angels"
Enjoying watching your journey through the music of Angelina! Seeing her mother tear up backstage always gets me, When asked later what she was feeling at that moment, she said something along the lines of "I knew at that moment, that I would lose her to / have to share her with the world". When Angelina is on stage, she is fearless and in complete control no matter her age. You may as well continue the other three NGT performances. Amazingly, you will notice how much she improves between each song! Looking forward to more Angelina!
You will never be the same again because hearing this divinely gifted angel sing is a life altering experience. I started listening to Angelina nearly three years ago and I am addicted to her voice and to the outstanding human being that she is. I can not go a day without hearing Angelina sing. I also have never felt this way about any other vocalist in all of my life.
Angelina has that 1 in 7 billion ability to sing in 3D. The brilliance of her talent, persona, her to-die for Persian beauty and mindblowingly powerful young and HUMBLE Global Humanitarian service - she gives away all of her money to childrens charities ~ Angelina is almost supernatural. Yes ... She MUST be an Angel. 😇❤🙏 You're officially an Angel... ... Subscribing for the incredible journey. 💯
The moment they show her mom backstage, she is sharing this gift with the world for the first time. Life changing moment for this family. Angelina Jordan interview by Anne Lindmo NTV. She was 9 and talking about her book, which is about why she wears no shoes.
Thank you for your sincere reaction. Now you have to listen to her other 3 songs she did at NGT. The second one is " I'm a fool to want you " (acapella ).
Angelina's has made ground men cry went she sings, I known I'm one of them. Her Voice penetrates your soul touching your heart with incontrollable emotion. Please go back one more year went Angelina's grandmother film her singing "I Who Have Noting", Age 6yrs her first Studio recording. You are going to need a crying towel!
The first time I heard her sing it was Bohemian Rhapsody at AGT and it just blew me away. Then I started clicking and listening and clicking and listening. I did not get much sleep for a while because there was always one video more. So yeah she has this incredible effect on people: she just pulls in the whole audience and almost literally puts a spell on them and makes them feel good: no gloom this Sunday :-) Keep on trucking and enjoy the journey!
YES❣❣❣ This perticular video, in full length, should be at least the 2nd video for people to watch, imo.🎼🎵🎶🎵 This was what 1/10 of the Norwegian population was exposed to of ANGELina for the FIRST TIME, and I think most of us had to hoist our jaw up from the floor at least once 😲🤯.....😂😂 Thank you for showing your unsencored reaction to us, it is one of the reasons to your continuous success 😉
Great reaction my friend, ur not alone tearing up , she gonna do that to you over an over and over ; ) belive me at every performance at NGT , u can hear her getting better.Is just remarkable what this girl / young woman can do ; ) when u done the NGT songs, why not go even further back, at age 6 first time in studio, singing * I who has nothing * Tom Jones did this one back in the day.,like this one remember subtitles . have i good one take care an stay safe ; ))
¡Qué bueno ver tu emoción! No creo que sea raro, la voz y la capacidad sobre la música que tiene Angelina es sencillamente extraordinaria. Gracias por tu reacción y saludos.
Her a capella version of "I'm a Fool to Want You" which i think was the "audition" for this show was something else as well. That, this, and "Summertime" from this competition are bananas. I mean, they ALL are, but those three are likely my favorites. MOAR from her, Dimash, and So Hyang! AND Harry Mack now!! haha. Glad to see you on board!
At 7 years old, she changed the lyrics to make it age appropriate. She has arranged her own music since this performance. If you want to see her arranging “Summertime” I will send you the video. Crazy❗️🌺
Oh please watch them all. Her second one is Acapella Im a Fool to Love You. Then Bang Bang. Then Summer Time. Truly wonderful. Her 1st time in A Studio was at 6yrs singing I Who Have Nothing. Love you face as she Sings. Love your Emotions those are because your wife is pregnant and Husbands have Emotional and at time a hankering for God Knows What in Good Compulsions lol. Your going to be am Awesome Dad 💖
You really should check out the rest of her Norway's Got Talent performances , they all will blow your mind !! In the second round she sang another Billie Holiday song This time she did it completely Acapella , in the 3rd round she Sang Bang , Bang which was originally written by Sonny Bono and sang by Cher and later covered by Nancy Sinatra. In my humble opinion Angelina's version eclipsed both of those ladies efforts !! In the final round she sang Summertime and blew away her competition. She won the competition with 46% of the total vote !! The remaining 9 finalists split the remaining 54% between them!
Great reaction! I love that you show what her singing does to you, you’re not alone feeling goose bumps and shedding tears. She does that to most people. I would love to see you react to one of her latest song, Billy Jean, a jazzy version. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.😊
Yeah... we all have been there, it's something I've been listening for for about 40 years welcome to the family, I think I can speak for a large number of the older gentlemen here; we look at her as our daughter or for me our granddaughter because we have watched her grow up over the years and have fallen in love with her like one does with a daughter / granddaughter. Your journey has just begun and I think you are there with us.
Thank you once again for your heartfelt reactions to Angelina and her amazing voice! Her Angels all feel the same way - multiple times into listening to the same songs. It's incredible how she touches our souls! Lots of directions to go from here. If you want to go back even farther, you can react to her first time in a studio (6yrs old), "I Who Have Nothing" [ruclips.net/video/RjQZKBpVaes/видео.html]. You could certainly finish her NGT performances (7 and 8yrs), "I'm a Fool to Want You" (acapella), "Bang Bang", and "Summertime" (various videos exist for these), You could bounce forward a bit - maybe "Feeling Good" (10yrs) [ruclips.net/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/видео.html], or "Diamonds are Forever" (11yrs) [ruclips.net/video/9RGZRg9YH3k/видео.html]... There are so many more. Peace!
I felt the same way, man. She IS the voice of this generation. The covers she kept putting out. Again during the pandemic when people were trapped at home around the world with their computers. It's like the Beatles did with our rock n roll music. Its a foreign interpretation of our own standard classics. Remember how good that Sinatra tune was? here's my version of it. Her more modern covers are one thing (and they are spectacular). But her covers of older standards, Fly me to the moon, you make me feel like a natural woman,...She's saying THIS is how good these songs were. Then she covers Adele songs that Adele literally JUST put out. And damn if she doesn't do them better. She is a force. But her and Rose' from Blackpink are among a very few who can turn on their camera phones in some airport lounge, sing at them and create liquid GOLD. I don't know anyone else who is that talented. Just keeping in mind the equipment they are broadcasting into,... they are saying yeah I am that good.
She has the same effect on me...I have cried many tears listening to different songs (so many!)...I have to hear her every day because she hits my spirit and watching her grow up through these past years makes it even more special to me. I suppose we all have our favorites! I have several from age 9, 10, 13, and now 15-16.
Glad to see that you finally got to see her start on NGT. Now you have to watch the other 3 songs, starting with the next one of Billie Holiday's "I'm a Fool to Want You" sung acapella, then to "Bang Bang" and her final song "Summertime." With each song you see her get better & better (if that's possible). Also, she's never nervous. She was asked about that and her answer was "singing is like breathing to me. So why would I be nervous to sing." Just incredible for a young girl & with such an amazing voice. Here are the links to the 3 songs: #2) m.ruclips.net/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/видео.html #3) m.ruclips.net/video/3D0e0miMSI0/видео.html #4) m.ruclips.net/video/bnpFsCNKzFg/видео.html After those songs, you need to see her sing "What a Difference a Day Makes" still at 8 yrs old at a Norwegian Festival outdoors. m.ruclips.net/video/ZSfgCIGd7k4/видео.html That should keep you busy for a while. Enjoy!
@G.O.T.:G. I was totally choked up the first time I heard Angelina -- with this song -- in 2014 shortly after her audition and have never wavered in my astonishment and appreciation of her talent. She has a way of reaching right down inside you which makes her one in a million. And also, as you likely know, English is not her native language. Do react to her other three NGT audition songs. (4/13) Forgot to say I love your reaction.
Welcome to the club! When Heidi Klum asked Angelina how old she was when she won Norway's Got Talent, Angelina answered, "I was 7." As soon as I was blown away by "Bohemian Rhapsody," I immediately searched YT to see if her NGT audition was available. I closed my eyes and HAD to open them again to make sure that Billie Holiday wasn't standing on that stage. And, like you and the blonde judge, I had tears in my eyes before Angelina finished her audition - her "official" introduction to the world. A heartfelt thank you to Angelina's parents, her grandma, Mery Zamani, and NGT voters for helping this 7 year old child on her path towards fulfilling her dreams of becoming a superstar.
Angelina was the last to audition that day, and the judges had been given no heads-up about her vocal ability. Omer Bhatti (the younger NGT judge) said in a later interview: "“We were in shock when she started to sing…it was a discussion whether it was an impression of that kind of music (ref to Gloomy Sunday performance) or the real deal…and the next time we saw her, she owned the stage, when she rehearsed, she told the bassist what she wanted and had full control. And we were like…ok…you are a star…we have something special here…”.
Thanks for that sincere heartfelt reaction...after seeing this I am a new Subscriber for sure. Emotional reactions to this Angel are perfectly normal and appreciate your honest reaction and comments... great job.
G., Angelina is highly gifted, She is literally emphatic and has a high IQ. I KNOW, I got downbeat by commenters before. I met highly gifted kids and did a guided tour through our Zoo. I had to talk to those 6-7 yo kids, like i would talk to university profs and senior students. Angelina is in that category. She is a hard worker, a wonderful human beeing and a phantastic artist, seamstress (yes she sewes her "stage clothes" herself, helped by grandma Mery.) and arranger of songs and stages. I hate to put humans on a pedestal, thats why I write in comments about the reasons she can do this. Still if you got a gift from the universe/God, you have to recognize it,use it and train/exercise it. AJ is a driven woman with her art/craft. Remember please since she was 7 yo, she helped with her little sister Juliette, she went to "normal" school, studied and still studies Music and Performing Arts, write her songs, does covers, she went to charity concerts all over the world. It is said at this concerts she raised 21 MILLION USD. I wonder, does she sleep at all. Today at official age of 16, she looks and sound more like a 26-30 years old woman. She could be a model with Heidi Klum, ore a famous clothes designer and Taylor, she could teach Japanese like her mother or give masterclasses as a top notch vocal trainer. But "music is like air for me, I can not live without it." she said. G. you stay safe and sound. German greetings.
G.O.T Games, since you asked 😀, I would recommend reacting to her remaining 3 Norway's Got Talent appearances in order . . . Here they are: *I'm A Fool To Want You* (an even better Billie Holiday song) -- ruclips.net/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/видео.html *Bang Bang* (Nancy Sinatra style) -- ruclips.net/video/pcBoB49Gxn8/видео.html *Summertime* (Ella Fitzgerald-inspired) -- ruclips.net/video/bnpFsCNKzFg/видео.html NOTE: Angelina turned 8 before she recorded I'm A Fool To Want You .
Amazingly enough, it’s never nerve racking for Angelina. She’s always as cool as a cucumber. This is really tough song for anyone to sing, let alone a 7 year old.
Thank you for reacting once again to this true genius of music. In this case, in her beginnings as a professional artist, demonstrating, with rudeness, intuition and a missing tooth, why she has been earning, step by step, the title of Queen of Jazz. For your next reaction, I would suggest a double reaction. The song is "I'm a fool to want you", also by Billie Holiday. The first version is her second performance on Norway Got Talent, a cappella, in front of the judges and with all the other contestants behind her. ruclips.net/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/видео.html The second, her version for the album "It's magic", at approximately 12 years of age, in a video that records the recording in the studio. ruclips.net/video/SGx0djXTXQk/видео.html An interesting exercise to appreciate the talent and precision of that girl who was not yet 8 years old and check her progress 4 years later. Thank you for your time, dedication and love.
She must be an old soul! After this I don't know what else to believe! WOW!
the only thing we know is that Angelina been doing this her entire life..............
I think she is not an old soul...I think she is the soul the legends came from...wow.

"The reason I chose this song is completely random. I love jazz, but "Gloomy Sunday" was random. It was a night I could not sleep and my mother was stressed that I was awake long after midnight. Then I borrowed my mom's iPad where I wanted to listen to jazz on RUclips before I fell asleep. Then came a picture of a beautiful lady screaming at the sky and with her eyes closed... I'm talking about jazz queen Billie Holiday. I heard the song "Gloomy Sunday" that night and then I had to hear it every day. I love the melody. I understood well what the text was about because I know English well. Every time I sang it I felt something special about it, it's hard to explain in words. When I sang it for mom, she said that this song is nice, but that it was incredibly sad song". - Angelina Jordan (age 7 in an interview before the show aired)
Aside from being beyond her years in singing, Angelina has always seemed beyond her years in intellect and wisdom as well. She is able to convey the emotion of a song like this because she (somehow) understands the emotions behind the song.
👍🤗 The interview was by Tore Waskaa on Published on the TV2 website on 05.03.2014. 🤗
I remember wery well the shock i had the first time i heard this. I was looking at this the very first time it was on the tv here in Norway. A little fun fact Rusty. You probably know the story about one of the judges here? Omer Bhatti?
Yes Rusty. I’d lay a bet on her knowing a lot more about that song than just being a ‘Sad Sunday’. I’m assuming that’s all she said on the show, but it was recorded and not live.
Thank you Rusty, I missed that interview!
@@john-toregundersen2655 Would you explain more of what you are saying?
Angelina has said several times she doesn't get nervous on stage - she enters another world of music and happiness.
It's so amazing! Shea so relaxed, never seen anything like it!

The blond-haired lady crying is Mom. She said, 'it was at that moment that Angelina wasn't just her little girl anymore, but that she also belonged to the world'. Thanks Mom!!!!!!
Never apologize for the tears. The best music hits the emotions, so an emotional response in the listener just means it reached you.
You are officially an “Angel” which is what Angelina’s fans are called. If you didn’t tear up you would not be normal. That’s just what she does. She has an incredible ability to communicate emotion through her singing. I’m really looking forward to seeing your next reaction. Thanks.
Oh yeah? Ah happy to call myself one! And appreciate the warm kind welcome! ❤️
She's just grabs your heart with her voice! No one like her ❤️
Tears are your brain's way of recognizing and expressing how overwhelmingly good she is. Don't try to hold back the tide, my friend. Resistance is futile.
I saw this on the original show back in 2014. When I heard her say what she was going to sing, in the intro, before she entered the stage, I was thinking " no no no, don't do a jazz classic from Billie Holiday! You are 7 years old! Do something for Annie or something a young child can do." I was so nervous for her. That cute little girl. And then she started to sing.. Naturally, I was shocked. I laughed, I cried. And I was an instant fan. I knew then and there that this was obviously the greatest talent on that show. And probably the greatest song talent in modern times. I still belive she is the latter. There is now and also has been in previous times GREAT song talents. But she is just something completely different. The emotions, rhe emotions, the emotions. The voice and control. Progressively getting better for each day still. This little angel is indeed blessed. 💖
What a blessing that you were there at the start of her public music career! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and thoughts when you were there! That is a treasure to all of us who love her too.
I caught that show with my daughter on the internet back then and we were very impressed too, and have been a fan of hers ever since too!

Here is a quote from Angelina (7y) from an interview with TV2 after her Audions NTG 2014. "The reason I chose this song is completely random. I love jazz, but" Gloomy Sunday "was random. It was a night I could not sleep and my mother was stressed that I was awake long after midnight. Then I borrowed my mom's iPad where I wanted to listen to jazz on RUclips before I fell asleep. Then came a picture of a beautiful lady screaming at the sky and with her eyes closed. I heard the song "Glommy Sunday" that night and then I had to hear it every day. I love the melody. I understood well what the text was about because I know English well. Every time I sang it I felt something special about it, it's hard to explain in words. When I sang it for mom, she said that this song is nice, but that it was incredibly sad song. " ♥👣
Christian Honkanen
One of the judges (Omer Bhatti) commented on Angelina's performance on AGT saying:
“We were in shock when she started to sing…it was a discussion whether it was an impression of that kind of music (ref to Gloomy Sunday performance) or the real deal…and the next time we saw her, she owned the stage, when she rehearsed, she told the bassist what she wanted and had full control. And we were like…ok…you are a star…we have something special here…
David Fehlman
In a interview after this performance Angelina's mom was asked why she was crying during her performance?? Were they happy tears??
Mom said; " They were happy tears but they were also sad tears because I know I just lost my daughter to the world at that point in time” ♥
It doesn't matter the song, her voice wraps around your soul like a warm blanket on a cold morning.
❤️
I've seen it said that she KNOWS where each of us keeps our hearts, and how to touch it. She is an addiction for me, in 73 years I've never seen or heard a singer as proficient or effective.
There is nothing wrong with you. Angelina's voice enables our humanity. It's a wonderful thing. Thank you!
Ah thank you! And it really is ❤️
Your not alone in the tearing up department !!! She is so adorable !!!!!!!!!! Greatest singing voice on the planet.
Angelina said in an interview with American songwriter , “I have to say if it wasn't for the unconditional love that came from Billie Holiday’s legendary music, there would not be Angelina Jordan today. I am very blessed today that her music found me very early, ” 💯 *AJ* 💯
The most shocking thing about this performance is the fact that it is so close to Billie Holiday's recording, I mean REALLY, REALLY close!
Exactly right.
Yes, I brought up Billy Holiday's recording and played them side by side. Almost identical!
Your emotions are refreshing! Your wife is pregnant too, lol! Thats a soul thing!! Angelina just touches the soul the minute she starts her first note!! Fantastic reaction! Thank You!!
You are astonishing about a 7y old Girl,who is able to sing like Billie Holiday??
Look her second Song of NGT, there she sang another Song of her, but this time acapella 💃🎹
She told later in an interview, there would be no Angelina without BH, BH found her one night 🙏🎵
You will see those magic Vibes in every Song. She developed it to masterclass, it's one of her trademarks
Her voice drips with sincerity. You believe every word that comes from her mouth. She is already learning about nuance. She is a perfect match for Billie's version. She has changed some of the words to deflect the darker meanings of this song. Angelina is one half a pair of young singers I call, 'The Twins' They are two of a kind in that they both compel the listener to feel their songs. They both know how to get you to become part of the performance. There are reasons I call them 'The Twins'. They were both born in 2006. They both possess voices of seemingly much older singers. They have both won major singing competitions. They both are heavily into their families and their families support them completely. They are both well liked by everyone including their competition.
The other half of the Twins is of course Daneliya Tuleshova. I found both these wunderkind's three nights apart in the wee hours of morning as I deal with chronic pain and many nights I am awakened by some vicious bouts with it. I always turn to the internet, by the way what a blessing the computer and the net are, when the pain gets worse I start cruising the net looking for new singers to listen to. The girls both have different directions Angelina leaning towards Jazz, while Daneliya is more Pop oriented. I am going to give you Daneliya's blind audition to The Voice Kids Ukraine. She sings Demi Lavato's 'Stone Cold' that went viral and has over 76 million views. However, you must listen to her whole audition to hear what the judges/coaches say to her about her ability. It comes with English subtitles. The audition is 10:30 long but she does sing a second song as an encore. But what they say to her is amazing. I leave the link at the bottom.
These two young ladies are going to be special for years to come. I am also leaving you a short but amazing TikTok performance by Angelina.
ruclips.net/video/jGUqIU6u8Ew/видео.html Daneliya at 10 years old 'Stone Cold' Please watch the whole thing. If you want to divide it up and react only to the first half, but continue to watch as what the coaches say to her and to the audience about her. You wont be wasting your time.
ruclips.net/video/MzGEz9y_tAI/видео.html Angelina at 16 years old. Adele's 'Love Is A Game' It is short but one of the best I have heard from her in the 4-5 years I've been following her.
You know, the young male judge there, he was living with Michael Jackson for periods, and are close with MJ’s kids to this day. He’s an artist himself. So he knows so much about good music, and for him to become speechless.
Thank you for letting us know! It is so nice to have bits and pieces of Angelina’s life and her fellow travelers come alive, like a fairy tale in a story book of wonderful adventures and magical talents and creatures.
Thanks for another great heartfelt reaction to Angelina's masterful performance at her NGT audition - at age 7. She has been blessed with the GOD given gift of a beautiful voice - & also the ability to emote the essence of each song she sings direct to our hearts & souls. This allows us to not only hear, but also to deeply FEEL her amazing music. Hope you will continue to react to the rest of her NGT performances (I'm A Fool To Want You, Bang, Bang & Summertime). Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
dude, i cried. but i've probably cried a dozen times watching the video, which i've seen at least 50 times. but when a reactor gets choked up it makes me choke up. i love how flabbergasted the judges were. oh, i'm 6'4" and 330 pounds with a big beard. lol... quite the sight to see weeping i'm sure. (if you ever figure out why it's so easy to cry for you, please tell me!)
Angelina's Family have held the young singer back, they want her to have a regular childhood without the cameras and spotlight. But when Angelina was 6 years old she recorded a Shirley Bassey Classic song "I who have Nothing" ruclips.net/video/RjQZKBpVaes/видео.html in her schools recording studio. (A performance arts school in Oslo Norway). It was then her parents relented and allowed Angelina on Norways got Talent.
And for her first take, it was absolutely amazing.
She cuts you to the bone, every damn time.
Another reactor brought up the Spanish term El Duende, and I think it sums it up perfectly:
"El duende is the spirit of evocation. It comes from inside as a physical/emotional response to art. It is what gives you chills, makes you smile or cry as a bodily reaction to an artistic performance that is particularly expressive."
I discovered Angelina several years ago. I listen to her everyday and never tire of this Angel. Great reaction.
❤️
You aren't alone, that is for certain. I've been following her for 6 years and I must have heard her sing this several hundred times, and I'm still wiping away the tears, She just has the ability to reach deep in your soul and pull your emotions out through your heart. Keep reacting to this young prodigy, I enjoy each one of them.
I will definitely be hearing more and more from her! Just love how unique she is!
80% of Angelina's songs bring tears to my eyes and believe me not just the first time I hear them but every time, she has such a magical touch , impossible to really explain. The beauty of it is when she is a world renowned singer we can all look back in absolute pride that we watched her grow her unique talent. Look forward to another great reaction.
I definitely feel like I will be with you on that one and she is just something truly special ❤️
This is so freaking adorable. I can't handle it. 🥺😢💙🤗
AI'm pretty sure there's an 60 year old blues singer living inside her. 😁
A very moving reaction. You got her. "When I grow up I want to be a superstar." She already is.
Thank you for reacting to this unbelievable and emotional performance by the 7 yo Angelina, the Barefoot Angel.
Kudos to people of Norway who recognized the talent of this child and called her "The National Treasure of Norway."
This performance was her first appearance in public, but before this we saw Angelina at 6 yo in her school's recording studio when she performed "I Who Have Nothing", some of us knew then that we were watching a future star.
Angelina is in a class all by herself. Thankfully she has a wise, loving family who requested Republic Records to allow her to get older and finish school before fully promoting her. Until then, it is up to us angels to introduce her to more people and to boost her analytics on RUclips. G.O.T. thank you for reacting to Angelina as it will introduce her to more people. I humbly suggest you help boost her analytics but encouraging viewers to watch, like and comment on the original video and to subscribe to her two RUclips channels, Official and Cover channel.
Hi GOT, Nice reaction & I agree with what you said, & she'll keep doing that to you every time you listen to her. “The reason I chose this song is completely random. I love jazz, but “Gloomy Sunday “ was random. It was a night I could not sleep and my mother was stressed that I was awake long after midnight. Then I borrowed my mom's iPad, where I wanted to listen to jazz on RUclips before I fell asleep. Then came a picture of a beautiful lady screaming at the sky and with her eyes closed. I heard the song “Gloomy Sunday” that night and then I had to hear it every day. I love the melody. I understood well what the text
was about because I know English well. Every time I sang it I felt something special about it, it's hard to explain in words. When I sang it for mom, she said that this song is nice, but that it was incredibly sad song.” (Sara, Angie's mom was asked what she thought when she saw her on the screen backstage, (she was wiping her tears when watching) “I knew I had just lost my little girl to the world”) The family has always been very close & since that even more protective of her from the entertainment industry’s vultures & hyena's.

This 7-Year Old's Incredible Voice Will Give You Chills as She Channels Billie Holiday
BY MELISSA LOCKER MARCH 10, 2014 11:59 AM EDT
A 7-year-old girl managed to absolutely wow the judges on a televised talent show with her spot-on rendition of Billy Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday.” The youngster, Angelina
Jordan, appeared on the stage of “Norway’s Got Talent”, barefoot and in a white dress, and announced that she would be be singing Holiday’s dark jazz standard. The skeptical judges were blown away from the moment she started singing
You might want to start from the very beginning were it all started.
“I, who have nothing” by Ben E. King & covered by Tom Jones & Shirley Bassey. She’s 6 in a sound booth at her school. ruclips.net/video/RjQZKBpVaes/видео.html
“Gloomy Sunday” by Billie Holiday she was 7 here on NGT Audition (you reacted & loved it)
“I’m a fool to want you” cover by Billie Holiday she was 7 just turned 8 NGT quarter finals Judges cut.(a capella & haunting) ruclips.net/video/6LIcQL5gLoY/видео.html

🧡💜✨
Nice! Nothing wrong with you, just susceptible for Angelinas voice.
IMO, Our generation is fortunate to witness such an extraordinary group of talented individuals. Aurora, Dimash, Kamila Valieva (Russian Figure Skater), and a very few other rare individuals who, with their talent, are changing the world for the better. Angelina stands alone in this group in that at the age of 6, she declared and initiated her world mission for the children of the world. Her barefoot appearances are a reminder that the goal cannot be forgotten.
Astonishing - it’s completely natural for her (like breathing she has said) and she has the incredible ability to connect her soul with ours through the music.
Really does just feel like breathing for her, she's so calm ❤️
@@GOTGames yes, and just breathing in and out shouldn't make you nervous so why should singing Billie Holiday at age 7? 🤪 Great reaction (as usual) 👍
Actually what she said is that singing was so important to her, “as important to her as breathing “.
“I’m not crying . . . I just have a little Angelina in my eye.” 🌺
😂❤️❤️
There is nothing wrong with you. Angelina has the ability to transfer the emotion of words and music into emotions you feel in your soul through her amazing and versatile voice.
She turns everyone into mush! Her grandmother is an Iranian poet and painter, who has a real love for early blues and jazz and was a big inspiration to Angelina. Angelina actually wrote a song dedicated to her grandfather who passed away called "Million Miles" and all of the artwork in the video was done by her grandmother. Make sure you have plenty of tissues handy for that one. The artwork on the outfit that she wore for her "Bohemian Rhapsody" audition on AGT was also done by her grandmother. She has a way of making you forget, if only for a moment, all of the craziness in the world today. I love you Luke, I have been here from early on, and have seen the channel really take off. I can honestly say, I couldn't be happening to a better person. Keep doing you.
Even more remarkable is Angelina’s next audition song-another Billie Holiday classic: I’m a Fool to Want You. She sings it a cappella because…why not? You hear every nuance of her incredible seven year old voice because that’s the only sound. And that one could bring you to tears, too. I know some people are born with incredible voices, but how does Angelina give us phrasing, emotion, vibrato at this age?
I still mist up every time I hear this song. I was startled the first time I heard it. It's like she's actually channeling Billie Holiday. It amazes me, even after dozens of listens, that a 7-year old Norwegian girl has the phrasing and timing of a seasoned jazz singer. She continues to be remarkable to this day.
Wise decision to watch the whole thing. There is no doubt she's seven. I love watching how people react to this. incredulity and confusion seem to be unanimous. Angelina has always seemed to be impossible. You are going to have fun, my friend. There's so many more to do. You should do the rest of her NGT run. They are all good. This audition stunned the world and it was just the beginning. This girl is a miracle. 😎
Your in pretty good company. Many many other reactors also cry and get goosebumps when they react to Angelina. I'm 72 years old and still tear up when I listen to her.
She also does "I'm a Fool to Want You" by Billie Holiday. It's a rehearsal video when she was 11 done in one take. If you close your eyes you would think it's Billie Holiday singing. Angelina captures Jazz at its best. If you watch the mashup video, it's hard to tell them apart.
Her second song on NGT, still at 7, is the acapella version of the same song. It was the judges elimination round. Both are amazing.
I don't know how many times I watched this video. Fantastic and unique Angelina. It is most exciting to watch the development path of a genius, as far as it can reach huge potential with support and continuous work. Her sentence that she wants to be a superstar reminded me of a long-ago show on Belgrade television where five-year-old Novak Djokovic held a tennis racket bigger than him and said "I want to be number 1"
Angelina jordan got to you. She gets to me pretty much every single time she sings.
This is when all the talk about Billie Holiday being reincarnated into a
7 year old girl from Norway, of all places. If you listen to Billie's rendition
when she was 29, except for the fact that as an adult she has more power
in her delivery, they otherwise sound as if one singer sang both songs.
She also shows this 'vocal chameleon' ability when she cover's another
jazz great named Dinah Washington. In that one, Angelina is 8 but the
similarity in tone and style is so very much 'on point' with Dinah.
"Go out and give them jazz"
"An old soul that has lived many lives"
"You ARE music!"
"You are born to sing"
"We have a star!"
"I could feel that sad Sunday"
These words were prophetic.
And to quote you, "Her voice is just something of the Angels"
Enjoying watching your journey through the music of Angelina! Seeing her mother tear up backstage always gets me, When asked later what she was feeling at that moment, she said something along the lines of "I knew at that moment, that I would lose her to / have to share her with the world". When Angelina is on stage, she is fearless and in complete control no matter her age. You may as well continue the other three NGT performances. Amazingly, you will notice how much she improves between each song! Looking forward to more Angelina!
You will never be the same again because hearing this divinely gifted angel sing is a life altering experience. I started listening to Angelina nearly three years ago and I am addicted to her voice and to the outstanding human being that she is. I can not go a day without hearing Angelina sing. I also have never felt this way about any other vocalist in all of my life.
You are a softie which is a good thing. Letting music , a song or a singer move you. Makes me tear up too!
Angelina has that 1 in 7 billion ability to sing in 3D. The brilliance of her talent, persona, her to-die for Persian beauty and mindblowingly powerful young and HUMBLE Global Humanitarian service - she gives away all of her money to childrens charities ~ Angelina is almost supernatural.
Yes ... She MUST be an Angel. 😇❤🙏
You're officially an Angel... ... Subscribing for the incredible journey. 💯
Thank you for another beautiful reaction to Angelina. This was simply marvellous to watch. Can't wait for the next one.💖
gracias por seguir reaccionando al ángel de los pies descalzos, me gustan mucho tus reacciones, Angelina es simplemente increíble 🤗🤗🤗
She’s so shy when she’s not singing unless she’s with her family.🤗💗
The moment they show her mom backstage, she is sharing this gift with the world for the first time. Life changing moment for this family. Angelina Jordan interview by Anne Lindmo NTV. She was 9 and talking about her book, which is about why she wears no shoes.
Thank you for your sincere reaction. Now you have to listen to her other 3 songs she did at NGT. The second one is " I'm a fool to want you " (acapella ).
An Angels voice in our times. She touches the heart of who hears.
Angelina's has made ground men cry went she sings, I known I'm one of them. Her Voice penetrates your soul touching your heart with incontrollable emotion. Please go back one more year went Angelina's grandmother film her singing "I Who Have Noting", Age 6yrs her first Studio recording. You are going to need a crying towel!
The first time I heard her sing it was Bohemian Rhapsody at AGT and it just blew me away. Then I started clicking and listening and clicking and listening. I did not get much sleep for a while because there was always one video more. So yeah she has this incredible effect on people: she just pulls in the whole audience and almost literally puts a spell on them and makes them feel good: no gloom this Sunday :-) Keep on trucking and enjoy the journey!
Great reaction! See you in the next one wether you’re crying or smiling! She has a beautiful voice. #Wafflegang ❤️
What a beautiful reaction bless you're heart 💙 . She does the same for me to. So glad you're taking this Angelina Jordan journey. Thank you 😊
Love it!! Standing ovation right out of the gate!! Immediately hits your emotion button.
YES❣❣❣
This perticular video, in full length, should be at least the 2nd video for people to watch, imo.🎼🎵🎶🎵
This was what 1/10 of the Norwegian population was exposed to of ANGELina for the FIRST TIME, and I think most of us had to hoist our jaw up from the floor at least once 😲🤯.....😂😂
Thank you for showing your unsencored reaction to us, it is one of the reasons to your continuous success 😉
I cry with you, always. Because happiness makes me cry. And yes, I've seen this 10 times before.
Much Love to you and Ukraine 🌻🌻🌻💙💛💙
Right on point. I also think the next three songs on NGT give a good indication of how versatile , talented and fearless she is.
Great reaction my friend, ur not alone tearing up , she gonna do that to you over an over and over ; ) belive me at every performance at NGT , u can hear her getting better.Is just remarkable what this girl / young woman can do ; ) when u done the NGT songs, why not go even further back, at age 6 first time in studio, singing * I who has nothing * Tom Jones did this one back in the day.,like this one remember subtitles . have i good one take care an stay safe ; ))
¡Qué bueno ver tu emoción! No creo que sea raro, la voz y la capacidad sobre la música que tiene Angelina es sencillamente extraordinaria. Gracias por tu reacción y saludos.
You just ignore the tears and keep going. Nothing else does this and it's like, we all know and it's ok?
I recommend that you react to her other songs during the competition. She really stepped up her game and got better with each song.
Her a capella version of "I'm a Fool to Want You" which i think was the "audition" for this show was something else as well. That, this, and "Summertime" from this competition are bananas. I mean, they ALL are, but those three are likely my favorites.
MOAR from her, Dimash, and So Hyang! AND Harry Mack now!! haha. Glad to see you on board!
When she done I'm a fool to want you it was judges cut her second performance
At 7 years old, she changed the lyrics to make it age appropriate. She has arranged her own music since this performance. If you want to see her arranging “Summertime” I will send you the video. Crazy❗️🌺
Oh please watch them all. Her second one is Acapella Im a Fool to Love You. Then Bang Bang. Then Summer Time. Truly wonderful. Her 1st time in A Studio was at 6yrs singing I Who Have Nothing. Love you face as she Sings. Love your Emotions those are because your wife is pregnant and Husbands have Emotional and at time a hankering for God Knows What in Good Compulsions lol. Your going to be am Awesome Dad 💖
You really should check out the rest of her Norway's Got Talent performances , they all will blow your mind !! In the second round she sang another Billie Holiday song This time she did it completely Acapella , in the 3rd round she Sang Bang , Bang which was originally written by Sonny Bono and sang by Cher and later covered by Nancy Sinatra. In my humble opinion Angelina's version eclipsed both of those ladies efforts !! In the final round she sang Summertime and blew away her competition. She won the competition with 46% of the total vote !! The remaining 9 finalists split the remaining 54% between them!
Angelina Jordan Astar, this sweet little norwegian girl (now 16 y old) is imo the best singer on this planet! 🤩
Next is I am a fool to want you. A capella. After that you should listen to the same song at 12. Remarkable
She’s a living time capsule.
Because of angelina i know so many singers who I didn't even know they exist before loved your reaction as always 👍👍💙💙💙
Great reaction! I love that you show what her singing does to you, you’re not alone feeling goose bumps and shedding tears. She does that to most people. I would love to see you react to one of her latest song, Billy Jean, a jazzy version. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.😊
This song makes me cry everytime I watch her sing it. It has such a sad background, so many people died after listening to it.
Check out her “Feeling good” when she was about 10! You hear her powerful voice.
Yeah... we all have been there, it's something I've been listening for for about 40 years welcome to the family,
I think I can speak for a large number of the older gentlemen here; we look at her as our daughter or for me our granddaughter because we have watched her grow up over the years and have fallen in love with her like one does with a daughter / granddaughter.
Your journey has just begun and I think you are there with us.
Thank you once again for your heartfelt reactions to Angelina and her amazing voice! Her Angels all feel the same way - multiple times into listening to the same songs. It's incredible how she touches our souls! Lots of directions to go from here. If you want to go back even farther, you can react to her first time in a studio (6yrs old), "I Who Have Nothing" [ruclips.net/video/RjQZKBpVaes/видео.html]. You could certainly finish her NGT performances (7 and 8yrs), "I'm a Fool to Want You" (acapella), "Bang Bang", and "Summertime" (various videos exist for these), You could bounce forward a bit - maybe "Feeling Good" (10yrs) [ruclips.net/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/видео.html], or "Diamonds are Forever" (11yrs) [ruclips.net/video/9RGZRg9YH3k/видео.html]... There are so many more. Peace!
I felt the same way, man. She IS the voice of this generation. The covers she kept putting out. Again during the pandemic when people were trapped at home around the world with their computers. It's like the Beatles did with our rock n roll music. Its a foreign interpretation of our own standard classics. Remember how good that Sinatra tune was? here's my version of it. Her more modern covers are one thing (and they are spectacular). But her covers of older standards, Fly me to the moon, you make me feel like a natural woman,...She's saying THIS is how good these songs were. Then she covers Adele songs that Adele literally JUST put out. And damn if she doesn't do them better. She is a force. But her and Rose' from Blackpink are among a very few who can turn on their camera phones in some airport lounge, sing at them and create liquid GOLD. I don't know anyone else who is that talented. Just keeping in mind the equipment they are broadcasting into,... they are saying yeah I am that good.
She has the same effect on me...I have cried many tears listening to different songs (so many!)...I have to hear her every day because she hits my spirit and watching her grow up through these past years makes it even more special to me. I suppose we all have our favorites! I have several from age 9, 10, 13, and now 15-16.
She’s an angel
Glad to see that you finally got to see her start on NGT. Now you have to watch the other 3 songs, starting with the next one of Billie Holiday's "I'm a Fool to Want You" sung acapella, then to "Bang Bang" and her final song "Summertime." With each song you see her get better & better (if that's possible). Also, she's never nervous. She was asked about that and her answer was "singing is like breathing to me. So why would I be nervous to sing." Just incredible for a young girl & with such an amazing voice. Here are the links to the 3 songs:

After those songs, you need to see her sing "What a Difference a Day Makes" still at 8 yrs old at a Norwegian Festival outdoors.

That should keep you busy for a while. Enjoy!
Agree!!!
How can anyone not love this girl :)
You being able to show your emotions is a strong thing. Never be ashamed Luke because it lets people know you have a great heart and soul! ❤️
@G.O.T.:G. I was totally choked up the first time I heard Angelina -- with this song -- in 2014 shortly after her audition and have never wavered in my astonishment and appreciation of her talent. She has a way of reaching right down inside you which makes her one in a million. And also, as you likely know, English is not her native language. Do react to her other three NGT audition songs. (4/13) Forgot to say I love your reaction.
Love your reactions to our Angelina!🎼👍🏼💗
Welcome to the club! When Heidi Klum asked Angelina how old she was when she won Norway's Got Talent, Angelina answered, "I was 7." As soon as I was blown away by "Bohemian Rhapsody," I immediately searched YT to see if her NGT audition was available. I closed my eyes and HAD to open them again to make sure that Billie Holiday wasn't standing on that stage. And, like you and the blonde judge, I had tears in my eyes before Angelina finished her audition - her "official" introduction to the world. A heartfelt thank you to Angelina's parents, her grandma, Mery Zamani, and NGT voters for helping this 7 year old child on her path towards fulfilling her dreams of becoming a superstar.
Angelina was the last to audition that day, and the judges had been given no heads-up about her vocal ability. Omer Bhatti (the younger NGT judge) said in a later interview: "“We were in shock when she started to sing…it was a discussion whether it was an impression of that kind of music (ref to Gloomy Sunday performance) or the real deal…and the next time we saw her, she owned the stage, when she rehearsed, she told the bassist what she wanted and had full control. And we were like…ok…you are a star…we have something special here…”.
Thank you for telling that piece of the story!!
You are officially in A.J.'s World and we call you a bonnified (Angel), and Excellent reaction and God Bless!
I love your reactions. Her voice/voices are just awesome! Enjoy the ride!
Thanks for that sincere heartfelt reaction...after seeing this I am a new Subscriber for sure. Emotional reactions to this Angel are perfectly normal and appreciate your honest reaction and comments... great job.
Listen to her ‘Bang Bang’ in the same competition …. It’s literally perfect
I'm convicted she's a natural mimic more than she's a singer (not a slam, the one leads to the other and she's amazing).
G., Angelina is highly gifted, She is literally emphatic and has a high IQ. I KNOW, I got downbeat by commenters before. I met highly gifted kids and did a guided tour through our Zoo. I had to talk to those 6-7 yo kids, like i would talk to university profs and senior students. Angelina is in that category. She is a hard worker, a wonderful human beeing and a phantastic artist, seamstress (yes she sewes her "stage clothes" herself, helped by grandma Mery.) and arranger of songs and stages. I hate to put humans on a pedestal, thats why I write in comments about the reasons she can do this. Still if you got a gift from the universe/God, you have to recognize it,use it and train/exercise it. AJ is a driven woman with her art/craft. Remember please since she was 7 yo, she helped with her little sister Juliette, she went to "normal" school, studied and still studies Music and Performing Arts, write her songs, does covers, she went to charity concerts all over the world. It is said at this concerts she raised 21 MILLION USD. I wonder, does she sleep at all. Today at official age of 16, she looks and sound more like a 26-30 years old woman. She could be a model with Heidi Klum, ore a famous clothes designer and Taylor, she could teach Japanese like her mother or give masterclasses as a top notch vocal trainer. But "music is like air for me, I can not live without it." she said. G. you stay safe and sound. German greetings.
sehr schön, danke
G.O.T Games, since you asked 😀, I would recommend reacting to her remaining 3 Norway's Got Talent appearances in order . . . Here they are:
*I'm A Fool To Want You* (an even better Billie Holiday song) -- ruclips.net/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/видео.html
*Bang Bang* (Nancy Sinatra style) -- ruclips.net/video/pcBoB49Gxn8/видео.html
*Summertime* (Ella Fitzgerald-inspired) -- ruclips.net/video/bnpFsCNKzFg/видео.html
NOTE: Angelina turned 8 before she recorded I'm A Fool To Want You .
totally agreed.
I second this recommendation.
These 4 NGT performances are a must see in the library of Angelina's works.
Amazingly enough, it’s never nerve racking for Angelina. She’s always as cool as a cucumber. This is really tough song for anyone to sing, let alone a 7 year old.
you need to listen to her sing Summer Time.. it's sooo good
Thank you for reacting once again to this true genius of music. In this case, in her beginnings as a professional artist, demonstrating, with rudeness, intuition and a missing tooth, why she has been earning, step by step, the title of Queen of Jazz.
For your next reaction, I would suggest a double reaction. The song is "I'm a fool to want you", also by Billie Holiday.
The first version is her second performance on Norway Got Talent, a cappella, in front of the judges and with all the other contestants behind her. ruclips.net/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/видео.html
The second, her version for the album "It's magic", at approximately 12 years of age, in a video that records the recording in the studio. ruclips.net/video/SGx0djXTXQk/видео.html
An interesting exercise to appreciate the talent and precision of that girl who was not yet 8 years old and check her progress 4 years later.
Thank you for your time, dedication and love.
