Very nice reaction Britt. Remember this about Angelina. She never sings a song the same way twice. So they'll all be 1st time reactions. Quincy Jones asked Angelina to open for his 85th birthday in London in 2018 when she was 12 and she did and surprised everyone, for she wasn't on the list of singers. He had her with her family back stage with him and he asked her to sing a short song "Dream alttle dream for you" a capella. He said he hasn't seen this amount of talent in someone so young since Michael Jackson. You should react to it.
I was impressed that all her attention was on Rosie, and not the animals, when Rosie was handing them to her. She gives her attention to the giver and not the gifts.
She's showing a totally selfless, empathetic spirit here. The body language is clear in the almost "comforting" way she rubs Rosie's back! Just so sweetly astounding!
As Mozart's contemporary Salieri beseeched God for 'giving one so vile' such extraordinary talent, he would have no challenge for Angelina. Pure as the driven snow.
Two things. The image of the moon is very important to Angelina. You see it again and again. Second, get those headphones. The absolutely remarkable nuances of her singing are obvious.
Whenever I encounter the young Angelina I am astounded by the pure, raw talent she was and is. In a video interview when she was 12 she explains that when she sings her mind goes into a different place where only music exists and she described that place as beautiful. You can see it in her eyes when she is focusing and just about to sing…her eyes fade and sometimes move back and forth almost as if she is in a dream. It is almost like she is a conduit to where a world of music exists on its own…. maybe Plato was right. Her talent is beyond anything obtainable by training a child of that age. Angelina seems to have an innate grasp of timing, word emphasis, and phrasing that many senior singers strive to reach. It is a gift…. one that blazes so brightly that it can peal the paint off walls and melt your heart.
By 8 yo, Angelina was already a jazz "artist" with unique beautiful performances of such classic songs like Summertime, What a Difference a Day Makes, Fly Me To the Moon, At Last & many others, all with her own arrangements. In the dictionary under "child prodigy," there should be a picture of Angelina!
'Fly Me to the Moon' is Angelina's signature song and this is my favorite performance of it. The cuteness, phrasing and the way she manipulates her mouth. The right foot keeping time and the sheer cuteness of it. She had performed it many, many times. More than any other I believe. Love you reactions and comments. Thank you. ♥👣
i agree, but i think for the wow factor was I have who have nothing, in the studio at 6 year old, there must have been a part she was struggling with, but got it perfect, the delight and the little fist bump she gave, showed her passion, worth a watch
Yes her diction is good, and let's remember that this is her second (or third) language. Her grandmother (Mary Zamani) is Iranian - so Angelina speaks Farsi. She probably used it when she spoke with a homeless girl in the middle east and gave her shoes. Besides that, (people say) she speaks a little Japanese (her grandfather was Japanese) - she sang a cover of a Japanese song at a concert in Japan 11 years old "Like a river flow | 川の流れのように (Misora Hibari)" ruclips.net/video/VKBg4IeTMu0/видео.html (link to the original song ruclips.net/video/_JPKop-dYJ8/видео.html)
I'm 60yrs old and I love waking up to seeing your beautiful smile and watching you react to our little Barefoot Angel 😇 it starts this old woman's day, Thank You Ma'am for your reaction and I hope you have a blessed day 🙏
Hey Britt, the fun part here is, a gentleman by the name of Quincey Jones, saw this years later and invited in 2018 AJ to his little birthdaparty in O2-Arena in London. Mr. Jones was the arranger of this sonf for "Ol Blue Eyes" Sinatra. She was his surprise guest to open the celebration, man and what a surprise it was for the bigwigs of the industry. Elmar from Germany.
She speaks Norwegian, Swedish, Farsi ( Persian ), Japanese and English, and learnt German at School all before she was 8yo, She was taught to sing by... All the Jazz greats by listening to her mum and grandmothers phones from about 3yo !!! She is very clever and Learns what she is taught, The family say she has never had a voice coach and never will but she has had formal training at the Waldorf School in Oslo...... there is a Utube video of her singing at 1.5yo Whitney Huston in English!!
Actually she did have a voice coach, among other music teachers, but only for certain aspects.... and care was taken not to train-out the very unusual and wonderful natural characteristics of her voice...
@@103mrg I saw a comment some time ago that said that the family spoke only Japanese for about 2hrs on an evening, i guess i assumed she would have picked it up... shes pretty bright, she would speak school German but probably gets no practice, wish we had more info. thanks for your info.
Good morning, Britt. This is shortly after she won NGT. Once I heard this performance, that was it. This is forever my favorite rendition of Fly Me To The Moon. The rasp, vibrato, breathy moments, the way she manipulates the vowels, and on and on and on. Thank you for the reaction Grandma Ellen, on her way out. 💜
She not only mastered the language and her style but also her focus at this age. No distractions, no forgetting lyrics, not even out of tune. This to me is discipline. Love your reaction and comments Britt, till next one.
I love that you are discovering and experiencing her special voice and the lovely person she was and is. This was just months after her Norways Got Talent win. She just got a mouth full of her permanent teeth which she didn't have during the competition. You've got to see her at the beginning when she first was introduced to the international audience. She did four songs through the process. The first two were Billie Holiday songs, "Gloomy Sunday" was the first and captured everyone's attention. The second was "I'm a Fool To Want You" and was done with her competitors standing directly behind her on stage. She was the smallest one. She sang it a Capella in her third language, English, without a full set of teeth, and she killed it without an ounce of fear or self consciousness. Just did it perfectly and thanked the judges. I believe the first one got their attention but the second one sealed the deal. The last two songs were absolute icing on the cake. Each song more incredible than the last. All four are here. ruclips.net/video/O2bX15tYFVk/видео.html Good reaction. It's obvious you really appreciate her.
Angelina talks about going to her special place when singing. Watch her eyes and hands, she delivers her music directly to your soul. You are drawn to every word.
Wonderful reaction again... glad that, apart from the amazing singing, you picked up on how great her little interview was, and the extraordinary way she hugged Rosy - giving her a reassuring pat on the back ! :) What other 8 year-old on the planet would do that..? Flies over from Norway, interviews and sings live (in her 2nd language... albeit one she is already very familiar with and fluent in) and just smashes it !
@@rburkett1939 my impression is that she was actually brought up essentially bilingual in Norwegian and English... in such a multi-lingual family it would make sense if English was the kind of "lingua franca".... Norwegian wasn't the first language for either her mother or her father... and from video interviews she was fluent in English from a very early age... (and they spent a fair bit of time in the US even when she was little)
@@geoffreynorth9046 her father is Swedish and her mother’s first language was Japanese and learned Norwegian when moved to Norway and Angelina has spoken Norwegian as first language from birth, Swedish is second and English is third although also taught in school. Granma Mery speaks Farsi and mom and Uncle Mike are fluent in Japanese having been raised there. Angelina has also taken French and German in school and of course has sung in Japanese and Spanish, as we all know. So she can probably speak, sing or understand at least 8 languages that we are aware of. Imagine if you could speak or sing in the language of every country in which you were touring. That would make you a true Global Superstar!
@@kerrythomas6220 yep... ( I would only say that I suspect they spoke English at home more then Swedish... but that doesn't matter and I agree with all you say ! )
Hey Britt, here's the link to her winning performance at "Norways got talent" singing "Summertime" at age 8! Enable subtitles!! ruclips.net/video/zN4kAof1is0/видео.html
Perfect pitch, impeccable timing, sweet vibrato.. she is highly aware and in control of the music at all times. She has jazz flowing through her veins.
Thanks for another great reaction to & appreciation of another great performance by Angelina - this time at the age of 8. This was Angelina's debut in the US, shortly after winning Norway's Got Talent. This is definitely amazing for an 8 year old, but what's even more amazing are her 4 Norway Got Talent performances (Gloomy Sunday, I'm A Fool To Want You, Bang Bang & Summertime) - at age 7. Pretty amazing to see a 7 year year old have conversations with judges in Norwegian & then -when the songs start - singing in perfect English. Anyway would love to see your reactions to those. Since each is a fairly short talent show performance, there is at least one compilation video available (with subtitles) that includes all 4. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
And to think when at the age of "12" she opened Quincy Jones' Birthday Celebration AT HIS REQUEST!!! What an amazing journey...my favorite part is when she's asked how old she was when she started singing and she replies "I was very young... "!!!! Love this Child, now an 18 yr old young woman 😂🎉 I LOVE your Angelina reactions: Fresh, Fun and Fantastically entertaining 👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻🎶🎙️ PEACE!
We sometimes overlook Angelina, the little girl when watching Angelina, the musical prodigy. There's a cute video dude by Ch 2 in Norway, where an interviewer colored her around the house. In her bedroom, there's a bookcase filled with dolls on its shelves. I'm sure these gifts from Rossie O'Donnell were treasured by Angelina.
Yes, the artists that she followed faithfully with an ultimate purpose to get better, with the help of her Grams from the earliest possible age, groomed her exceptionally well! What an amazing journey so far.
If you didn´t notice, her guitarist was Steve Conte ( an ex-member of New York Dolls). He told on his Facebook wall that it was an amazing experience to play with Angelina 😀.
And Angelina Jordan was introduced to jazz by her grandmother introduced to Jade by her grandmother and her grandmother told her if you want to sing, this kind of music, gotta study and listen to it, and listen to it, and study was just a little girl that Angelina was known as the jazz queen that you got older, the jazz serve the purpose of what she’s singing now she become and she’s becoming international star. She’s singing all over the world now she just finished a concert in Oslo Norway. She saw Dennis when she was eight I’ll send you some links of those concerts. They’re wonderful.
The way her little mouth moves especially when she pronounces her R's Is so freaking adorable I can't take it ! She's the cutest sweetest little angel I have ever seen ! God love her ❤
Loving this party Britt!! I believe this is Angelina's "theme song" since she has performed it over a dozen times at different age and each one is a little different from the next. Quincy Jones invited Angelina to sing the rendition of this song that he arranged for Frank Sinatra for his 8th birthday celebration at The 02 Arena in London at 12 years old. Angelina opened the show and she knocked it of the park. Quincy said Angelina reminded him of a young Michael Jackson. Here is the actual performance and FYI the video is very poor. Quincy was on stage sitting down and you see Angelina at the songs end point her hand to him with the words I Love You: ruclips.net/video/uFtFHs2Dg5Ea/видео.htmlngelina sings to Quincy Here is another 1 minute clip of Angelina serenading Quincy in his room with "Dream A Little Dream Of Me"ruclips.net/video/7x7Ahlq7m6U/видео.html
I've enjoyed watching your reactions to Angelina. You were talking about hearing Angelina sing in a nightclub. She did appear at this very young age on a Norwegian TV show called Lilyhammer singing in a nightclub while a bunch of gangsters talked about their business.
As much as I am liking your reactions to Angelina I wish that you would provide all the links to her channels, this is important to the artists and without the artists reactors have nothing. thnx.
Angelina has sung this many times, but I always come back to this performance. I just love it! Everything about it is just perfect (except for the break in the last note - sorry Angelina!). Thank you for your keen appreciation of our Barefoot Angel.
Hey to you Britt. It's so refreching and easy to like you and your reactions, and you gives us so good reactions to many artists. Also realy young ones like Angelina Jorden. I've seen many of them and it is always a plesher to hear you say what you think of they're musical skills.🙂
Much has been mentioned over the years (accurately I may add) about Angelina's extremely empathetic, loving, kind nature. Empathy exudes from her. Notice how, when Rosie brings out the stuffed toys to her, Angelina hardly even glances at the toys. She embraces Rosie with a hug. But it's not just any embrace! She proceeds to rub Rosie's back, not once but twice. To me, that is a clear "body language" sign of an empathetic, selfless person expressing warmth, tenderness, and affection to another. Just sweetly astounding!
I love your reactions so much I didn't think to mention before but your sound quality would improve on the videos if you were to use headphones or earbuds even. Love these reactions so, so much. ✌️💖🎼
Yes, her reactions and her spirit are delightful! But the videos always sound muffled or with an echo-effect. I've wondered if it's an intentional distortion to avoid copyright strikes.
Britt, once again a great analysis of this performance. You did leave out one important thing though regarding her pronunciation of words. Yes she does form her mouth just right to produce great diction, although the fact that her teeth have not completely come in does cause a bit of difficulty with pronunciation. But most importantly, English is not her first language as she is from Norway! That makes it all more amazing. I'm looking forward to next video and all your great support! Have a wonderful day.
When Rosie says "we really enjoy 8 year old girls that sing like you," I can't help it; my mind just screams, "NAME TWO!" 😁 The cuteness factor makes this one terrific, but my favorite is the one she did for Quincy Jones' birthday celebration.
hello britt I always eagerly await your reactions. You are such a great person. And you feel for Angelina. Again, this reaction is just great. May I ask you a favor? Nico Cartosio composed a song for Angelina some time ago, please give a reaction to it. I find him beautiful! The Name of the Song is: " Song for A " ruclips.net/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/видео.html
“Song for A” is just beautiful -highly recommended Angelina is the featured artist in this song, composer Nico Cartosio wrote it for her and placed it as the last track on his album "Melting" - the other eight tracks are instrumental only. Some therefore consider it one of her originals. Angelina was 13yo when it was recorded.
Hey, you don't know how right you are. The first thing to remember is that English is not her first language, it is her third language and she knows at least four languages. The second thing about her technique in one of her interviews that you will see in the future Angelina herself said that while she sings her eyes roll over and then close, this is the moment she described as an out-of-body experience to a place that is all good and from there she brings and conveys the emotion to us in her singing.
You mentioned how you visualized the atmosphere of a jazz club, Britt. She appeared in the final episode of a Netflix series produced by Steve Van Zandt....formerly with Bruce Springsteen's band. Van Zandt plays the older character in the scene. It was recorded in 2014 within months of this performance on The View....still 8 years old. The scene is a party in a jazz club and Angelina plays the club's entertainer and sings Billy Holiday's I'm A Fool To Want You. Mostly you just hear her in the background, but the camera cuts back to her a number of times. There's another video of her as part of that TV show's cast at some awards show (Golden Globe or something) walking the red carpet and getting interviewed by the press. Here's the link to her performance on the show. I'd say there are more important performances for you to review, but this might be something you check out on your own. Loving your reviews!! ruclips.net/video/7kGPhpvqtOc/видео.html
Yes, Angelina interviewed exceptionally well on this show. But also consider that she had just flown in from Oslo for this appearance -- and was interviewing at 8 years old, in English, better than many (if not most) native-born American adults could. I suspect she could have done this interview in Swedish or Farsi and sounded equally articulate. She's a remarkable young lady, for sure.
" It's beyond expression. If something is so powerful or emotional that you can't even describe it, it's ineffable. Ineffable ideas and emotions are difficult to put into words." Courtesy of Google! ( Usual lovely reaction , thank you )
And people forget that she is speaking and singing in English, her third language. This is her arrangement, like the way she pronounces many words (stars and mars for example). Right on pitch and rhythm, and only falters just a little at the end when she unexpectedly runs out of air... Isn't it impressive how she can reduce the amplitude, still maintaining that signature vibrato, in making what becomes a comment at the end of a sentence? Yes, her vocals are self-taught from listening to the jazz greats of the 20th century.
Now we learn English in first grade in Norway. However, if you don't know English when you start 1st grade you are already behind. As Angelina very well know.
one main thing to remember with Angelina, ENGLISH is her 3rd language, and i do believe she was still learning it at this time in life. she has always sung in english because the songs she liked and learn from back then were english recordings. ANgelinas 1st language is Norwegian and her other languages are persian, english and japanese, if i am not mistaken.
robert A friend of the family who has known Angelina since she was 2 commented that her level of English proficiency was so advanced at a young age that English, like Norwegian, is practically her native tongue. And, no, she doesn't speak Japanese.
About her diction, let's also not forget that she is Norwegian-born, has a Swedish father, Iranian grandmother, Japanese grandfather, and English is her third language after Norwegian & Farsi! Yet, in other videos where she is singing in her school's music studio at the age of SIX (first grade), she is not only singing in English, but she is reading the musical score sheets in English, while keeping perfect timing! I have to keep convincing myself that, yes, she really is an Earthling!
john A friend of the family who has known Angelina since she was 2 commented that her level of English proficiency was so advanced at a young age that English, like Norwegian, is practically her native tongue.
She certainly taught herself a lot about how she wants to sing, but I don't think you can say she hasn't received training. In Norway they offer extensive educational opportunities to the youngest students in all of the arts. She participated in a number of programs both through her school and beyond that. It was through those programs that we get to see and enjoy her preforming in professional level sound studios when she was as young as six.
I’m on board with all your comments! Can you imagine Angelina opening up a school for the arts here in the US? Think anyone would feel the need to enroll?
@@stevenhambek846 Angelina attended the most prestigious school in Norway. Jordan attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where she received vocal training and piano lessons. In addition to singing and playing the piano, she plays violin, guitar and flute, and also paints. She had every conceivable advantage from a fabulous family with means to all things professional because they all recognized Angelina's gift.
Hey Britt new sub. Wanted to beg you to react to "I fooled around and fell in love" by Miranda Lambert and several of her singer friends. It was for her Mutt Nation animal charity. Thanks, I really enjoy watching you react.
Hi Britt I have a suggestion for a song you can react to " Angelina Jordan sings James Brown " [ I feel good ] this is from a concert in Norway its live and it is the full song from 2015 she is 9 years old and she rocks the stage. You want to click on the Rusty Shackelford version its the best one vocally, Rusty is a super fan who records many of AJ's performances.
Hi Britt - I enjoy your insights - please keep them coming. Here's a video of Angelina rehearsing "Cheek to Cheek" which illustrates the effort she puts in to correctly pronouncing words - in this case she mispronounced "gambler" as "glamber", but actually realized it and jotted the mistake down on her notes. She discusses the mispronunciation with the band leader later in the rehearsal. ruclips.net/video/UcpED1nPkXA/видео.html There are other examples of her dedication to preparing performances like this short clip of another rehearsal of her original song "Oslo" ( the youtube title is incorrect) ruclips.net/video/YZj8S40QeVY/видео.html
I like this recording session much more than the stage performance. Cuteness alarm! In fact, it wasn't a mispronunciation, it was a typo in the lyric sheet and Angelina noticed it immediately. Such a pro at age 11.
Bravo for your enthusiastic and relevant reactions to Angelina Jordan's videos. May I suggest you watch the one for "What a difference a day makes" live in Norway ? Angelina is eight years old. ruclips.net/video/ZSfgCIGd7k4/видео.html And the amazing version of "My Funny Valentine" that she performs at age 10 sitting on a sofa at home. ruclips.net/video/sZ25H4a2gPI/видео.html
So cute she is so cute but her voice is fantastic all the nuances everything she does now she’s doing almost the same thing with this stage at 16 it’s all there My husband and I have been watching hers and she was one that yes I can jazz and she went to Norway’s got talent age of seven total as she was between eight and nine when she won the money she won was quite a bit of money but she asked her mother to give it to charity for children which they did she doesn’t wear shoes because of you probably know the story
jon A friend of the family who has known Angelina since she was 2 commented that her level of English proficiency was so advanced at a young age that English, like Norwegian, is practically her native tongue. And, no, she doesn't speak Japanese.
Imagine being interviewed as an 8-year-old in a foreign language. I would not be able to get a word out.
Great reaction, see when se hug, she shaking her hand like parent doing to her child.
Very nice reaction Britt. Remember this about Angelina. She never sings a song the same way twice. So they'll all be 1st time reactions.

Thanks for another great reaction to & appreciation of another great performance by Angelina - this time at the age of 8. This was Angelina's debut in the US, shortly after winning Norway's Got Talent. This is definitely amazing for an 8 year old, but what's even more amazing are her 4 Norway Got Talent performances (Gloomy Sunday, I'm A Fool To Want You, Bang Bang & Summertime) - at age 7. Pretty amazing to see a 7 year year old have conversations with judges in Norwegian & then -when the songs start - singing in perfect English. Anyway would love to see your reactions to those. Since each is a fairly short talent show performance, there is at least one compilation video available (with subtitles) that includes all 4. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
She had visited the U.S. before but not to sing.
Gregory 1st performance on NGT was at age 7. Next 3 were at age 8.
Great point about AJ's diction, Britt. Even more astounding, English is not her first language.
Love your Angelina reactions! 💖 Thank you so much for sharing 🌹
And to think when at the age of "12" she opened Quincy Jones' Birthday Celebration AT HIS REQUEST!!! What an amazing journey...my favorite part is when she's asked how old she was when she started singing and she replies "I was very young... "!!!! Love this Child, now an 18 yr old young woman 😂🎉 I LOVE your Angelina reactions: Fresh, Fun and Fantastically entertaining 👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻🎶🎙️ PEACE!
Angelina did a concert in Norway after this. She sang "WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES."
It was crazy good!
You should do this same song when she was 12, the rehearsal for Quincy Jones 85th birthday
We sometimes overlook Angelina, the little girl when watching Angelina, the musical prodigy. There's a cute video dude by Ch 2 in Norway, where an interviewer colored her around the house. In her bedroom, there's a bookcase filled with dolls on its shelves. I'm sure these gifts from Rossie O'Donnell were treasured by Angelina.
Yes, the artists that she followed faithfully with an ultimate purpose to get better, with the help of her Grams from the earliest possible age, groomed her exceptionally well! What an amazing journey so far.
tv and no stress at all, so calm and enjoys it 😮❤
If you didn´t notice, her guitarist was Steve Conte ( an ex-member of New York Dolls). He told on his Facebook wall that it was an amazing experience to play with Angelina 😀.
PERFECT REACTION and Comments!!!🥰🥰💖👍
Angelina was humble and polite. She can also hold a note for a long time.
And Angelina Jordan was introduced to jazz by her grandmother introduced to Jade by her grandmother and her grandmother told her if you want to sing, this kind of music, gotta study and listen to it, and listen to it, and study was just a little girl that Angelina was known as the jazz queen that you got older, the jazz serve the purpose of what she’s singing now she become and she’s becoming international star. She’s singing all over the world now she just finished a concert in Oslo Norway. She saw Dennis when she was eight I’ll send you some links of those concerts. They’re wonderful.
The way her little mouth moves especially when she pronounces her R's Is so freaking adorable I can't take it ! She's the cutest sweetest little angel I have ever seen ! God love her ❤
Loving this party Britt!! I believe this is Angelina's "theme song" since she has performed it over a dozen times at different age and each one is a little different from the next. Quincy Jones invited Angelina to sing the rendition of this song that he arranged for Frank Sinatra for his 8th birthday celebration at The 02 Arena in London at 12 years old. Angelina opened the show and she knocked it of the park. Quincy said Angelina reminded him of a young Michael Jackson. Here is the actual performance and FYI the video is very poor. Quincy was on stage sitting down and you see Angelina at the songs end point her hand to him with the words I Love You: ruclips.net/video/uFtFHs2Dg5Ea/видео.htmlngelina sings to Quincy Here is another 1 minute clip of Angelina serenading Quincy in his room with

I've enjoyed watching your reactions to Angelina. You were talking about hearing Angelina sing in a nightclub. She did appear at this very young age on a Norwegian TV show called Lilyhammer singing in a nightclub while a bunch of gangsters talked about their business.
As much as I am liking your reactions to Angelina I wish that you would provide all the links to her channels, this is important to the artists and without the artists reactors have nothing. thnx.
Her voice is enormously special. He accuracy with every note and beat is baffling. How???
Angelina has sung this many times, but I always come back to this performance. I just love it! Everything about it is just perfect (except for the break in the last note - sorry Angelina!). Thank you for your keen appreciation of our Barefoot Angel.
💝💝💝
I really enjoy your Angelina reactions. Really looking forward to seeing more. She has so many wonderful songs. Can't wait for the album.
Hey to you Britt. It's so refreching and easy to like you and your reactions, and you gives us so good reactions to many artists. Also realy young ones like Angelina Jorden.
I've seen many of them and it is always a plesher to hear you say what you think of they're musical skills.🙂
Now do her audition for Norway's Got Talent, Gloomy Sunday at 7.
💯🌟😍omg this girl her voice her attitude..just amazing
Much has been mentioned over the years (accurately I may add) about Angelina's extremely empathetic, loving, kind nature. Empathy exudes from her. Notice how, when Rosie brings out the stuffed toys to her, Angelina hardly even glances at the toys. She embraces Rosie with a hug. But it's not just any embrace! She proceeds to rub Rosie's back, not once but twice. To me, that is a clear "body language" sign of an empathetic, selfless person expressing warmth, tenderness, and affection to another. Just sweetly astounding!
john Astute observation. We see the same "hug and rub" with Heidi after the golden buzzer.
The jazz club vibe is what I've been imagining since the beginning. I so love your reactions to Angelina. I believe you love her as much as I do.
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🇨🇦I think she wasn't getting toothfairy money anymore at this point.
I love your reactions so much I didn't think to mention before but your sound quality would improve on the videos if you were to use headphones or earbuds even.
Love these reactions so, so much. ✌️💖🎼
Yes, her reactions and her spirit are delightful! But the videos always sound muffled or with an echo-effect. I've wondered if it's an intentional distortion to avoid copyright strikes.
Britt, once again a great analysis of this performance. You did leave out one important thing though regarding her pronunciation of words. Yes she does form her mouth just right to produce great diction, although the fact that her teeth have not completely come in does cause a bit of difficulty with pronunciation. But most importantly, English is not her first language as she is from Norway! That makes it all more amazing.
I'm looking forward to next video and all your great support! Have a wonderful day.
Great reaction. You definitely need to look up Angelina's Norway's Got Talent performances (whether you react to them or not). They are staggering!
You should hear her as an adult now. It's actually hauntingly incredible. She now sounds like a legend.
english was her 2nd or third language to top it off . nuances , inflechshins . in key . shazam!!!
She a child prodigy, at this age (8) she only speaks 4 languages and sings like a 25 yr old , enjoyed your reaction
Great reaction! She is a fantastic talent
When Rosie says "we really enjoy 8 year old girls that sing like you," I can't help it; my mind just screams, "NAME TWO!" 😁
The cuteness factor makes this one terrific, but my favorite is the one she did for Quincy Jones' birthday celebration.
every time i listen to this , i always get goose bumps ..,,, just wow
hello britt I always eagerly await your reactions. You are such a great person. And you feel for Angelina. Again, this reaction is just great. May I ask you a favor? Nico Cartosio composed a song for Angelina some time ago, please give a reaction to it. I find him beautiful! The Name of the Song is: " Song for A " ruclips.net/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/видео.html
“Song for A” is just beautiful -highly recommended
Angelina is the featured artist in this song, composer Nico Cartosio wrote it for her and placed it as the last track on his album "Melting" - the other eight tracks are instrumental only. Some therefore consider it one of her originals.
Angelina was 13yo when it was recorded.
An 8 year old just took on Sinatra and nailed on of his most iconic songs. No fear!
Beautiful reaction as always, Britt!
Thank you!! 😁
Hey, you don't know how right you are. The first thing to remember is that English is not her first language, it is her third language and she knows at least four languages.
The second thing about her technique in one of her interviews that you will see in the future Angelina herself said that while she sings her eyes roll over and then close, this is the moment she described as an out-of-body experience to a place that is all good and from there she brings and conveys the emotion to us in her singing.
Angelina is 6 ft tall. The abstract paintings behind her in some videos are painted by her Grandmother.🇨🇦
Great Reaction 👍🙏👣
You mentioned how you visualized the atmosphere of a jazz club, Britt. She appeared in the final episode of a Netflix series produced by Steve Van Zandt....formerly with Bruce Springsteen's band. Van Zandt plays the older character in the scene. It was recorded in 2014 within months of this performance on The View....still 8 years old. The scene is a party in a jazz club and Angelina plays the club's entertainer and sings Billy Holiday's I'm A Fool To Want You. Mostly you just hear her in the background, but the camera cuts back to her a number of times. There's another video of her as part of that TV show's cast at some awards show (Golden Globe or something) walking the red carpet and getting interviewed by the press. Here's the link to her performance on the show. I'd say there are more important performances for you to review, but this might be something you check out on your own. Loving your reviews!!

Yes, Angelina interviewed exceptionally well on this show. But also consider that she had just flown in from Oslo for this appearance -- and was interviewing at 8 years old, in English, better than many (if not most) native-born American adults could. I suspect she could have done this interview in Swedish or Farsi and sounded equally articulate. She's a remarkable young lady, for sure.
Thanks
Grazie! 👣🇮🇹
A million miles is a tribute to her Grandfather.🇨🇦

" It's beyond expression. If something is so powerful or emotional that you can't even describe it, it's ineffable. Ineffable ideas and emotions are difficult to put into words." Courtesy of Google! ( Usual lovely reaction , thank you )
And people forget that she is speaking and singing in English, her third language. This is her arrangement, like the way she pronounces many words (stars and mars for example). Right on pitch and rhythm, and only falters just a little at the end when she unexpectedly runs out of air... Isn't it impressive how she can reduce the amplitude, still maintaining that signature vibrato, in making what becomes a comment at the end of a sentence? Yes, her vocals are self-taught from listening to the jazz greats of the 20th century.
I would still like to see you watch the version she did for Quincy Jones 80th birthday at 12. There is a video of the rehearsal .
👍👍👍
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Now we learn English in first grade in Norway. However, if you don't know English when you start 1st grade you are already behind. As Angelina very well know.
She is not self-taught. By the time she was at she had already been traveling throughout Asia. She's very worldly
one main thing to remember with Angelina, ENGLISH is her 3rd language, and i do believe she was still learning it at this time in life. she has always sung in english because the songs she liked and learn from back then were english recordings. ANgelinas 1st language is Norwegian and her other languages are persian, english and japanese, if i am not mistaken.
robert A friend of the family who has known Angelina since she was 2 commented that her level of English proficiency was so advanced at a young age that English, like Norwegian, is practically her native tongue. And, no, she doesn't speak Japanese.
About her diction, let's also not forget that she is Norwegian-born, has a Swedish father, Iranian grandmother, Japanese grandfather, and English is her third language after Norwegian & Farsi! Yet, in other videos where she is singing in her school's music studio at the age of SIX (first grade), she is not only singing in English, but she is reading the musical score sheets in English, while keeping perfect timing! I have to keep convincing myself that, yes, she really is an Earthling!

Girl 😍, 11 thousand subs in such a short time, do hardy wait in the truck react to the music video it will put you up there. I'm just saying
I want to remind you that english is not Angelinas first language. Her first language is norwegian. And she makes the interview and sings in english.
She certainly taught herself a lot about how she wants to sing, but I don't think you can say she hasn't received training. In Norway they offer extensive educational opportunities to the youngest students in all of the arts. She participated in a number of programs both through her school and beyond that. It was through those programs that we get to see and enjoy her preforming in professional level sound studios when she was as young as six.
Yes indeed she did. She has always had the best of everything. Great that she has.
I’m on board with all your comments! Can you imagine Angelina opening up a school for the arts here in the US?
Think anyone would feel the need to enroll?
@@stevenhambek846 Angelina attended the most prestigious school in Norway.
Jordan attended the Oslo Waldorf School and participated in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program, where she received vocal training and piano lessons. In addition to singing and playing the piano, she plays violin, guitar and flute, and also paints.
She had every conceivable advantage from a fabulous family with means to all things professional because they all recognized Angelina's gift.
@@edwardsullivan5481 thank you. Norway deserves credit for fostering her in this way. Small country population a fraction of the US.
Cute girl turns into pro singer simply by flipping a switch, when the song ends she becomes a cute little girl again.
Hey Britt new sub. Wanted to beg you to react to "I fooled around and fell in love" by Miranda Lambert and several of her singer friends. It was for her Mutt Nation animal charity. Thanks, I really enjoy watching you react.
Hi Britt I have a suggestion for a song you can react to " Angelina Jordan sings James Brown " [ I feel good ] this is from a concert in Norway its live and it is the full song from 2015 she is 9 years old and she rocks the stage. You want to click on the Rusty Shackelford version its the best one vocally, Rusty is a super fan who records many of AJ's performances.
React to some Michael Jackson how you call yourself a Reaction channel and not have THE KING OF MUSIC on it lol we gotta GET RIGHT!👑
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
She had a singing teacher at 5 and younger.... there is a video of her at the record store at her singing. She is not self-taught
Hi Britt - I enjoy your insights - please keep them coming. Here's a video of Angelina rehearsing "Cheek to Cheek" which illustrates the effort she puts in to correctly pronouncing words - in this case she mispronounced "gambler" as "glamber", but actually realized it and jotted the mistake down on her notes. She discusses the mispronunciation with the band leader later in the rehearsal. ruclips.net/video/UcpED1nPkXA/видео.html There are other examples of her dedication to preparing performances like this short clip of another rehearsal of her original song "Oslo" ( the youtube title is incorrect) ruclips.net/video/YZj8S40QeVY/видео.html
I like this recording session much more than the stage performance. Cuteness alarm!
In fact, it wasn't a mispronunciation, it was a typo in the lyric sheet and Angelina noticed it immediately. Such a pro at age 11.
Bravo for your enthusiastic and relevant reactions to Angelina Jordan's videos. May I suggest you watch the one for "What a difference a day makes" live in Norway ? Angelina is eight years old. ruclips.net/video/ZSfgCIGd7k4/видео.html
And the amazing version of "My Funny Valentine" that she performs at age 10 sitting on a sofa at home. ruclips.net/video/sZ25H4a2gPI/видео.html
So cute she is so cute but her voice is fantastic all the nuances everything she does now she’s doing almost the same thing with this stage at 16 it’s all there
My husband and I have been watching hers and she was one that yes I can jazz and she went to Norway’s got talent age of seven total as she was between eight and nine when she won the money she won was quite a bit of money but she asked her mother to give it to charity for children which they did she doesn’t wear shoes because of you probably know the story
Don't forget that English is not AJ's first language, it's her fourth after Norwegian Farsi and Japanese.

@@103mrg I remember reading that she started learning English at school/preschool?
