The history of this song "I'm a Fool to Want You" goes back to the 50s. Co-composed by Mr. Frank Sinatra and recorded in 1951. Ms.Billie Holiday made it famous in 1958. This was the time Frank was in relationship with Ava Garner, the actress, It didn't go well. The link to Ms. Holidays original release: ruclips.net/video/qA4BXkF8Dfo/видео.html Angelina gave me back memories that were long forgotten, I'll always be indebted to her for that. Rb
Not only is the intimacy leaning all the way into the mic, impressive...but her ability to bounce in to and out from performing and a kid looking to get Grandma's approval & happily enjoying recording her idol .. what a talented artist she is...genuine, committed, engrossed in every vocal ornament she adds...sigh..... A gifted young girl, with a heart to match is rarity... ONLY ONE like her...Angel. Fun reaction Bruh!! You get "Congratulations"🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳💥💥💥💥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 for keeping your unselfish approach to doing reactions....taking requests & recommendations in the comments (smart to ask for links) and can learn info from the comments...total respect coming your way....and it's a great way of knowing you read as many comments as possible... scanning ans seeing a link will make your choices so easy and readily available to you. You're a straight-up genuine good guy...see you on the flipside!!! PEACE!!!!
Who could have imagined that one day a young girl from Norway, called Angelina Jordan Astar* (her full name), will show up on RUclips and introduce the legend Billie Holiday to the young and the old generations with BH's iconic song. This performance is a masterpiece by the Barefoot Angel. Thanks for reacting to Angelina.
I love these videos where you can still SEE the humble and playful kid in Angelina! I like how she can make faces to the camera between phrases, then look into the studio through the window with a straight face and IMMEDIATELY manifest her innate singing ability. It's kinda like she has a light switch inside that she can flip on and off at will! Simply amazing.
My apologies for saying that billie holiday was a he.honestly thank you all for the correction.. Im pretty sure I was thinking of nat king cole i was seriously mistaken in this reaction video. Thank you all for nice comments and new subscribers
Pavlov's Dogs or Angelina's Angels? Angelina is a beautiful young woman with an ability to reach into the innermost depths of your mind on a level with what is known as a "shaman". AJ makes one feel her words and sounds. In the past we may have felt a similar sensation with maybe one song from an artist, but AJ encompasses the ability to conjure up this sensation with every performance. There is a synergy between her looks, sounds, and gestures, and her abilities to activate your senses, therefore; just seeing a picture of her is enough to bring tears to one’s eyes, we are indeed, Angelina's Angels.
Simply the best singer I’ve ever heard. Angelina could do this at 11 years old, paying respect to Billie Holiday-her biggest influence. She is literally once in a lifetime.
Not the only culture that does flowers in hair, but Norway from where she comes from seems really big on them. Billy is a she not that it matters much in modern times. Your great too by the way.
Loved the reaction. The shift from joyful kid to serious professional can be seen so clearly. Love her cover of “Something Got a Hold On Me” at 11i think. Tehe Great Etta James would be proud of that performance
There is no one better then barefoot princess. Just so you know, Billie Holiday is one of her inspirations. Billie Holiday is a female. That is her grandma, which is the other inspiration in her life. Her grandmother molded her into what she is today. The barefoot, princess is one of a kind. She is absolutely an angel sent from heaven. I love your reactions. You will never go wrong listening to the barefoot princess.
Netflix made a 3 season series called LILLYHAMMER about a New York Mobster who goes into witness protection in Norway. At the end of the last episode the main characters are sitting in a lounge having one last drink together and in the background 8 year old Angelina sings this song. She also chose this one for her acapella elimination round for the judges only on Norways Got Talent. I believe someone also did a mash up video of this song with her and Billie Holiday. They sing it almost identical.
Thank you for a great reaction yes that's her Granma she was 11 yrs old here and no it doesn't get any better , This is not only one of my all time favourite AJ performances but also one of my all time favourite vocals by anyone, Billie Holiday was a lady she is AJ's 'favourite artist and great inspiration especially when she was first discovering jazz, there have been many comments over the years about re-incarnation in regards to AJ being born like a jazz master or Billie come back .For me AJ's voice is more melodic and beautiful but even AJ said if it was not for Billie there wouldn't be the same AJ . Either way AJ is incredible and yes she is the sweetest thing the flowers are a Norwegian tradition in the summer.💗👣
Yes, norwegians love flowers as a great symbol of the blessing of summer. This hair-peace of Angelina though is rather spesial, and I love it, as it kind of suites the occasion, and it is more like an artistic peace, I`ll say. Quite a bit different from what Billie was wearing as she performed. Still I belive Angelina first and formost took inspiration from Billie (and possibly other artists from that part of the classic cathalog) as she started to put flowers in her hair during performances.
You can hear many of the inventive elements that Billie Holiday brought to improvisational music in this song that Angelina emulates Billie in here. It is a great conglomeration of effects that no other singer ever applied to singing and which Angelina has adopted herself. It is why Angelina has said, 'There would be no Angelina Jordan today if not for Billie Holiday'.
The producers of Netflix comedic drama Lilyhammer had the same thoughts as you when, after hearing Angelina perform this song a cappella on Norway's Got Talent, they cast her as a torch singer in lead character Frankie 'The Fixer' Tagliano's bar in the series 3 finale. She was 8!!!
The Album is really magic ✨🪄 an 11y old girl and a 40 member Big Band 🎀 all love her ❤the Album was often listed in the top itunes selling Jazz Chart 6y ago now she's 17. Please listen to her new EP Old enough, a banger 🎉
Thanks PTB for the wonderful reaction and comments. And yet this is coming from an 11 year old. Listen to Billy's original and see just how unbelievable this is. This is actually from 2017 when she was recording for her album "It's Magic" released in 2018. Cheers. 🥰🥰
If you brought back a song stress from the 50s right off the top of my head I can only think a Doris Day and you played this for Doris Day she would tell you it's Billy Holiday !!

She can easily switch her personality from a normal child/preteen to a seasoned professional singer.

That's her grandma Mery filming, she is 11 here I think. Can't nobody beat her singing.
Its a girl who is not even a teenager yet.
She sang this song in the movie "Lilyhammer." When my wife heard it from another room she said "Oh, Billy Holiday! She never heard of Angelina.

This is why they call her the jazz queen!

That could be the theme to any number of NOIR films from back in the 40's. Great reaction, from someone who really appreciates a special voice.
11 years old and deaf in her right ear

Good songs like this one are timeless. And it was masterfully interpreted by Angelina.
