The support she have from her family is determinant for where she is now, and it´s very well expressed in the question her mother asks before she go on stage: are you ready inside ? (simply beautiful).
And I love that! I'm always scared when it comes to talented youngsters... I fear that too much too soon can hurt them and change their quality and personality to the worst, but I am so happy that her parents are supportive of her. Also - one of the things I value most about humans is kindness.. So.. Big plus for me 🎶🙏💜 Thanks for watching the video, really appreciate it.
Someone asked her mom if she cried during her audition because she was proud of her and she said it was because she knew she had lost her to the world.
Great reaction Roni...nice to see you reacting with Angelina...a generational talent the likes of which haven't been here on this planet in decades....🥰🥰
Great reaction ,I envy your coming adventure discovering her mass of out of this world covers not to mention her own compositions as well , she is a master level song writer and arranger.
Hers and many others. I'm really enjoying this musical journey I'm going through with you guys. Grateful that I've opened up this channel and started taking suggestions - that's how I discovered Angelina, NF, Ren, Chinchilla, and many more to come!
I'm not embarresed to say it, But I have listened to her every day for going on 3 years or more now. My Wife has it just as bad as me as well. It's an amazing affliction to share. :D
New subscriber! Lucky you, getting to experience all of Angelina Jordans masterpieces for the first time! I agree the Gloomy Sunday was amazing because of her song choice, positive demeanor and just how darn cute she was. We could tell she had something special going on even then, however. At 10 years old she performs Feeling Good. Much like her genius arraignment of Queen, check out how she presents FG live on TV with a jazz backing .
Angelina is magical, an old soul without a doubt, you're going to go crazy with her (feeling good) on tv 2 and at 10 years old she's great, thanks Roni sdos Argentina
In the Gloomy Sunday video, as little Angelina is headed out to the stage she is met by Andreas the soundman. The next Summer, TV2 got her on the outdoor stage at one of their Alsang Pa Grensen (sing along the border) shows, and there was Andreas, wiring the little girl up. Eight years later the now 16 year old (and 6' tall) Angelina was back at Alsang Pa Grensen and there was Andreas wiring her up again. I don't know her concert schedule for this summer, but I bet Andreas does
Let me take this opportunity to say to you: "Welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan!" It looks like you are about to join us around the world on her musical journey. It will be an experience you could never have imagined. Roni, what I get from watching this video is you concentrate on the talent of the artist and that is fine. And, btw, I love your format and particularly the "up close" video effect. But, this needs to be said. What you hear when you are listening to Angelina sing 'for you' is the love in her voice which originates in her soul. It touches your heart because your heart recognizes her love and jumps on it. And once it's there it will never leave you. During 'Bohemian Rhapsody' you had to refrain from starting to tear up during the song. The message your heart sends to the rest of your body is goosebumps, starting to tear up (with an urge to cry) and usually finding it very difficult to speak during her performance. Roni, my point being is that Angelina is not only vocally and artistically incredibly talented but she is also a very humble, kind, caring and loving human being. The sound you hear cannot be manufactured or taught, it is real, very real and you will be missing out unless you find out 'who she is'. Roni, she's special. For example (unless you know already) why she sings barefoot is a story you need to know. I look forward to more Angelina reactions from you. I just subscribed.
Hey Robert! First of all, thank you for subbing! Much appreciated and welcome! Secondly - thank you for the positive feedback. Thirdly - I know of the barefoot story and I think I mentioned it before (maybe on some comment replies), that what I love and appreciate is that artists are kind and that they are continuing to work on their craft. Thanks again for coming in and for the comment! 🙏💜🤙🎶🎸
The minute AJs mother wiped away the tears of joy for her daughter, she also realized that she would have to share her with the rest of world! Why she selected the song; AJs mother was shocked find AJ still awake beyond midnight and asked her mother for her Tablet (or what ever device was available) and AJ went on YT and found what she would describe as a beauty woman singing Gloom Sunday; AJ loved the melody. Sidebar if her mother truly knew the meaning of the song AJ probably would not be singing this song. Gloom Sunday was written in the 1930 during the Great Depression and was call the Hungarian Suicide Song. At the time some blamed the song for a rise in suicides. Note: AJ has not to the best of my knowledge sung Gloomy Sunday again!
You did indeed point to the prettiest thing in the room ;-) Anyway, Angelina is a magical creature -- she's so insanely good that I sometimes find myself giggling like a lunatic at the ridiculousness of it and simultaneously crying at the emotions she conveys . . . .
😅😂 I have nothing to offer you but a virtual hug and a giggle! 🫂😂 Edit: I meant the wall! not me!! lol Oh gosh now I feel like an idiot.😅😅😅😶🌫️😶🌫️😶🌫️😶🌫️
For her to sing Gloomy Sunday like that at 7 . Yes of course she was cute but do that at 7 was cute and pretty impressive. Check out her other songs in NWGT . Pretty amazing for a tiny little one. No one expected you to say she sounds like a grown up 😂😂😂
@tomwhite4736 I don't feel like saturating too much of AGT here and also, I rather react to things from AJ's channel. I want to push views to her and her own content in her own channel. Fly me to the moon is on her channel, so that one I'll watch. 😊
@@ronireacts_to_all nice excuse but bohemian rhapsody was not Angelina channel , if you intend to concentrate on Angelinas channel then you will severely restrict your choice of performances a great deal of her performances are not on her official channel or her cover channel , you will miss out on some great performances from other sources , from TV shows and from fan made videos from dedicated fan channels with numerous performances of high quality .BTW its NGT ( Norway 🇳🇴 got talent) I was referring to not AGT , but I suppose you will have the same reason for not doing all of the remaining AGT CHAMPIONS performances . ( saturation, ) all her performances of NGT and AGT are short videos hardly " war and peace " Lol. and you don't have to react to them concurrently. but hey if you're not feeling and connecting to Angelina as strongly as us fans OK. but your excuse doesn't hold water imo .
@tomwhite4736 No you're right. I noticed after editing this video that the links are not from her channel. And that's why I made that decision. Also, thanks for the correction NGT, not AGT! And we'll see. Don't you rather I'd react to something of her own channel? Knowing that I won't be able to post ALL of the requests, (I'll listen to them, but I can't possibly film all of it), plus knowing I have other artists I want to discover, with all that in mind - would you still recommend her NGT performances over her other repertoire? (Serious question, because you guys know better than me what to watch next).
One thing we all need to remember. English is not her native language, of course, although I read that she was very familiar with English. Can you imagine singing that song on an awards show at seven in a language that is your second language? Blows your mind even more when you put it into that perspective. Then, if you go and listen to Billie Holiday sing the song here on YT it sounds really close to the way she sang it. Pronunciation and all.
@donnareece5454 Oh, I wasn't even talking about the pronunciation. No, she did great! A 7 year old singing a song so hard? That's impressive. Especially when it's a different language. I said she is adorable because she just I'd in that video. But what REALLY got me was her performance of "Bohemian Rapsody." Out of the two videos - that one was the one I connected with most. 🤟🙏🎶💜
@@donnareece5454 It’s actually a misnomer that English is her second language, because children in that part of the world learn English from the day they are born. It’s not uncommon for kids to know the native language, English, and a third language, and that they are fluent in all of them.
@@nfpnone8248 So true, even at 4 years old i could understand most english on the TV. English is seen as an elemental subject in school and we are even required to take 3-7 years of additional languages. I'm totally fluent in Swedish and English, have average Spanish and Japanese knowledge and can comprehend most west european languages on a basic level, especially in writing where you can take your time because people talk so bloody fast.
I can't explain it. But when you start listening to Angelina it is like healing for the soul and you can't get enough of her. I hope you make the journey to the world of Angelina. And we are all by your side doing it
very good reaction,, I still enjoy watching first time reactors, To bohemian rhapsody... The best norway's got talent performance was probably. " bang bang" She's now 17 and just released an EP , It's charting on itunes.,..... I think a good spot for you to go Would be when she was. 14 and wrote her first original a. " million miles" would enjoy your reaction to that....It's a song for her grandfather who passed away.. #ANGELS
Oh man... I already watched it off camera. The first video I reacted to Nagelina, I put it on the very end of the video, so naturally I was intrigued and watched it all off camera... 🙏🙏😬
You stopped it before the best judge reaction. The lady, screen right, said, after Angelina went off stage, "It's like she's been drinking whiskey since she was one year old".
@@ronireacts_to_all 😌 Oops... this is "Fly me to the moon", a composition by Bart Howard, made famous by Frank Sinatra's voice... she hasn't sung any Bossa Nova classics yet, but any of them would look amazing with her voice...
Angelina will end up being on the Mount Rushmore of all time singers. Enjoy the ride. There is another amazing singer, her name is Morgan James. She did a cover of Aerosmith Dream On, which you will be blown away. Enjoy.
Oh yes. Major confidence there! Can you imagine standing in front of so many people? I did a few small theater shows, and I was still excited and semi scared. It took me about a week to get over the fear. Still had butterflies, but wow..
@@ronireacts_to_all And 11 years old she performed to 40.000 people, opening for Norah Jones. I also remember seeing an interview somewhere, when I think she was 8-9 years old, where she said that she just loved to be on stage and never wanted to leave!
@@ronireacts_to_all yes dear I so believe in the power of music. And she's sings the song like no other with full emotions 🔥 I so love all of your reactions to Angelina you get it ty. Looking forward to more from your platform 👍😎
Hi there Roni. Great reaction though. The two videos you have reacted to made more then 95 millions views..... In a 10 years career Angelina did more then 180 covers and 6 originals plus the just released EP with 6 specacular songs. I consider Angelina the Queen of Modern Vintage. Her artistry Is out of this world. Hope you do more reactions. Cheers from Italy
It is nice seeing Angelina go from young to older and see the difference, but since you weren't familiar with the song or original singer, her is the link to a virtual duet done by one of Angelina's biggest fans. His channel is where people go to get videos of AJ. Angelina on stage at Norway's Got Talent with Billie Holiday's face off to the right, both singing in real time. Take notice to how close to exact this 7 year old is beside one of the greats. ruclips.net/video/H_5_AT_N-pg/видео.html Oh, and just wait until you react to the songs on her new EP. 😊
...one of the best Angelina Jordan reactions I've seen so far (and I have seen over 11,000!) ...unfortunately you are far avay from my hometown - but if you are visiting Berlin/Germany we have to talk about about Agelina 😁 Best wishes from Berlin/Germany and stay well and healthy Andreas 😎
And a young Angelina said early on that Billie Holiday was her biggest inspiration/influence. Sheesh, you don't expect a girl to say something like that! Also, because you're not going to check out the rest of her performances on Norway's Got Talent, you are not going to see The Jump/Change with her. After singing Gloomy Sunday and then I'm A Fool To Want You, both by Billie Holiday, her next 2 performances showed a huge leap in her singing ability. She sang the songs Bang Bang and Summertime which were fantastic. The voice you heard in Gloomy Sunday? That is long gone by the time she sang Summertime in the Finals.
Angelina’s voice and her total being is like an ocean wave or soft summer breeze that takes you in and rushes you to places you have rarely experienced. Your heart rate increases, you find it difficult to catch your breath, chills and shells engulf you. You are now addicted to Angelina Jordan the finest story telling vocalist I have ever experienced in years of listening to the best the industry has to offer.
About 2 years after this the youngest judge who interviewed her, Omer Bhatti, when he was visiting his long times friends at Christmas time he introduced Michael's mother to AJ's singing.
Gloomy Sunday. Here is a quote from Angelina (7y) from an interview with TV2 after her Auditions 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 "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. " ♥👣👸🏻🎷
It has happened to me many times. Some for posting links for some reason. Or promoting Streaming on spotify. I think those are some of the reasons they do it. I looked at their Terms of Service I believe and I some conditions that could be behind it. Usually clears up after a day or two. Pain in the A**.🙂♥👣@@MichaelGroves777
Roni, I think if you were to watch Billie holidays singing Gloomy Sunday you would be jaw dropped at how incredibly similar they sound, it’s remarkable, and may give you a different perspective on Angelina’s performance. Peace
Hey! Thanks for saying that! I was impressed by her performance, and she is indeed adorable (I mean, she's so young and sweet in that show). But for me... it's just really hard to compare a child's voice to grown woman's voice. I was impressed, but what made me feel - was Bohemian Rapsody. I do look forward seeing more of her covers and songs though! I have a long list of suggestions, so... a lot to watch! 🙏💜🤟🎶
Angelina’s journey as an artist from 7 to 13 (thru 17) is all recorded on RUclips. Well over 150 Covers by over 70 of the best known songs and artists, and she holds her own and in many cases, she improves the songs. She also has during that time five originals. I hope you get a chance to explore that incredible journey by this future Icon.
I saw Her Gloomy Sunday performance 4y ago and that was the moment she caught me and don't let me go 💕 listen every day from that momen😢t and she has so much beautiful songs out for listening 🎧 Her bohemian Rhapsody shows her Genius as a complete artist as an arranger , storyteller and vocalist. She said it at the beginning, the biggest opportunity of her life 🧬. She took the risk and send her to highest level. It changed her life as Howie said. Now she's Old enough with her new EP, a fireworks 🎆
Firstly, I love that for you! That's wonderful! How fun that we find that person who gives us this art on a daily basis. 🫠... And yes Howie was on point! I'm glad she got to perform there and blew up! Taking the risk is one of the hardest things to do. So... much respect!
Hey Roni! When you get chance check this out!!!! I want to thank you, also you may not have heard this one from 2020 when she was 14 years old.This song is insanely good. TRXD song she did with them called (Above The Water) Another amazing song from Angelina Jordan. No End to her talent, she takes anyone vibe and makes it outrageous. Love her.
Anybody regardless of age that can emulate Billie Holiday is Amazing. Now factor in that Angelina is 7 years old. Her Dad said it best. She sings jazz like a God
Hi yah Roni, you better slip into your floppy ears, cuz this is an epic rabbit hole. Angelina covers them all from Billie Holiday to Elvis, Adele, Amy Winehouse, Whitney Houston , The Beatles and even Michael Jackson. There are her originals too. I'm lovin' YOU and your channel!
Haha love your comment! Thank you! And yes I do look forward to hear more from her. I do have a looooooong list though, so it might take a while, but I'll get to her. Hope you are doing well! ⚡🎸🙏🤘🎶
You have to understand that between 7 and 13 she has more experience then most older stars......guest singing around Europe and Asia and her own home town so she has lots of experience at 13......
I get it. But I'm talking about life experience. She is very impressive, so don't get me wrong there. But when people say she sounds "exactly like Billy Holiday", I just can't agree on that. And that's OK. That's my opinion and my ear to things. I'm not a professional musician so it's only one honest opinion. Mine. 🙏
I haven't heard anyone express that Angelina has no talent...it's clear for all to see that she oozes it. But what got me hooked on Angelina was the tremendous strides she made at 9, 10, 11, 12 and even 13 in her vocal technique, her ability to emote with such passion, and her artistry. And on top of all of that, she is just a wonderful human being full of love and empathy for those in need. I am glad you are going to continue down Angelina's path. We are here with you.
You really should react to the other 3 song on Norways got talent of Angelina, i know you think Angelina sounded cute and kiddish, but that is Exactly how Billy Holidays Voice sounds in the original song and Angelina Nailed it at 7yrs old, the comparison is Uncanny
I'll have to disagree on that. But I respect your opinion. Just to make it clear: I don't think her performance was "kiddish". It was very impressive, especially when it comes to a 7 yo. BUT, to say that it's exactly like Billy's performance doesn't do justice to Billy Holiday. Behind Billy's voice there are years of experience, heart breaks, complexity and layers that a child (as talented as she is), is still yet to have gain. (Thank goodness). That's only my opinion.
Hello Roni, thank you for your reaction to Angelina. I just wanted to comment on you saying that on gloomy Sunday you just saw she was mostly cute and adorable. Some of us are visually acute and that becomes a large portion of 0:06 our perception of what we are witnessing. In the case with Angelina on this particular song, it's hard to get past her cuteness, but there was something more going on there. First of all her pitch was perfect, second of all her capture of Billie Holiday style was uncanny, and her concentration and emotional awareness of what she was singing was literally on an adult level. And a lot of times with Angelina you have to close your eyes and just listen to her sing so that you can get past how young she is. If you haven't done so yet, you should listen to all of her performances on Norway's got talent. She will get you passed how cute she is at seven and eight years old, and totally impress you on her vocal ability at that age. The song that finally won her to contest was Summertime, and I would strongly advise you to at least watch that one from when she was 8 years old, though she was still cute in that performance. Loved your reaction, thank you
Hey William! Thank you for popping by and for watching the video! Really appreciate it. As I replied before... it's really hard for me to compare her voice at 7, to Billy Holiday's. However, I was impressed by that performance. Cheers!
During Gloomy Sunday, her mother said she started crying backstage because she realized in that moment that she had somewhat lost her daughter to the public now.
Actually the Norway's Got Talent had three more song's, each progressively better (significantly) , The second sung acapella. By the 3rd song (Bang Bang) your mind gets blown. I agree the first was cute only. remember English is not her first language!... Loved your review!
I would argue her last, Summertime, is her best at NGT. Although many don't appreciate how good Gloomy Sunday was until they hear Billie Holiday sing it or better yet the mash up video of the two together. Same with I Put a Spell On You. It was absolutely amazing but even more so when you hear how she interpreted the original Screamin Jay Hawking version.
@@fewwiggle Date of NGT performances Gloomy Sunday - 24 Nov 2013 (7 years 10 months 4 days) I'm a fool to want you - 7 Feb 2014 (8 years 0 months 28 days) Bang Bang - 11 Apr 2014 - (8 years 3 months 1 day) Summertime - 23 May 2014 (8 years 4 months 13 days)
And Queen liked it so much the remaining members tweeted out and gave her the rights to copyright her version of the song for royalties. It's available on all the streaming services. As stated the other 3 NGT performances are worth reacting to. Most of what she has covered at the ages of 10-13 are in no way 'child like', if you listened without seeing her you'd swear she's at least 20-40 years old.
Thanks for taking the time to share 2 more Angelina reactions with us. What was amazing to me about Angelina's Gloomy Sunday performance at age 7 was her stage presence. After being a little nervous during her short interview - once she started singing, she sounded just like a seasoned pro. Following that performance with Angelina's reinterpretation of the Queen classic Bohemian Rhapsody at age 13 really showcased her incredible growth as a singer & performer. And - as you noted - at age 13 Angelina's emotional impact is unbelievable. I strongly believe that Angelina has the innate GOD given gift to be able to emote the essence of each song she sings direct to our hearts & souls allowing us to also deeply FEEL her music as it flows through her. Btw - even though it wasn't shown in the Bohemian Rhapsody video, Angelina did receive the golden buzzer from Heidi Klum. They became good friends & still are today. In fact Heidi recently selected Angelina (now 17) to perform at GNTM (Germany's Next Top Model) & Angelina delivered an incredible performance of the Amy Winehouse classic "Valerie". Looking forward to more of your Angelina reactions. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
A great video to introduce Angelina’s family, When you react to Bohemian Rhapsody take notice during her performance they highlight audience members in the front row. That is Angelina's Family. From left to right Her uncle and manager Michael Astar, her little sister Juliette, her mother Sarah Astar and her grandmother Mery Zamani. Notice her little sister crossing her fingers as the performance starts and later her mother wipe tears from her eyes. Also remember she said she had waited 10 years to sing for Simon. When she was 3 years old she was begging her mother to go on 'that Simon show'. ♥👣👸🏻🎷
Gloomy Sunday performance was more than " adorable " it was a astonishing performance for a 7 year old as all the judges acknowledged. I guess she could have performed " twinkle twinkle little star " but she chose jazz and " Billie holiday "
Don't get me wrong. It's amazing that she chose this song and performed it well. But in my opinion, and it's my opinion only, out of the two performances I watched, Bohemian Rapsody affected me much more. No disrespect at all for the Gloomy Sunday performance at all, I simply said that Bohemian Rapsody was the one that blew my mind.
@@ronireacts_to_all I respect your opinion I just thought you could have been a little more enthusiastic and recognised the merits of this performance more , given how young she was and the circumstances of the performance .
You might have thought she was cute on her “Gloomy Sunday” audition, but once you hear her 2nd performance of “I’m a Fool to Want You”, also by Billie Holiday, which she sang a cappella to get into the semifinals, you will understand why when she won, she won with 46% of the votes in the finals out of 10 acts singing “Summertime” most notably sung by Ella Fitzgerald, and she had her first performance in front of a real audience weeks after her win on NGT and she sang Dinah Washington’s “What a Difference a Day Makes” which I consider one of her best performances, it’s incredible. What you are missing with “I Put a Spell on You” is she arranged that performance herself, and she worked with the musicians so they would accompany her the way she wanted, she got the title from those who worked with her of “The Boss” not because she was bossy, but because she knew exactly what she wanted and didn’t have any trouble communicating it to those who worked with her. Obviously she still had a child’s voice, but once you start listening to her, you don’t care!
Recently I was in a discussion about the Content Angelina chooses to Sing. At the end of the conversation, a statement I wrote caught my attention right after I wrote it, and I think it really says A Lot about Angelina . . . ' I D O N ' T L I S T E N t o A N G E L I N A f o r w h a t S H E S I N G S ; I L I S T E N t o A N G E L I N A f o r W H O S H E I S . ' how many ' Artists ' does that Apply to today ?
Not a lot, but a few. Cool saying, though. I like it. And yes, from what I learned, she is a kind soul, a hard worker, and very respectful. So I like that her fans see that and hopefully learn from it. 🎶🙏
She will become the greatest storyteller since radio was invented, having the storytelling ability of Bob Dylan and the voice of Maria Callas. P.S. the arrangement belongs to her like the stage dress, created with the collaboration of her artist grandmother. She is an artist at 360° and she is only 17 years old.
She is the best of the best. She's unlike anything we have seen since maybe Judy Garland. But THIS girl is singing EVERYTHING,.. every kind of music out there.
As others have no dobut already said (not bothering to check), I can understand your reaction to her "Gloomy Sunday" audition, but you will want to watch (and please react to) her remaining three performances in the competition (see, for example, the playlist "React to Angelina Jordan on Norway's Got Talent" on my channel), because I _know_ you will be shocked at how much she improved from one performance to the next.
Remember last AJ video, I told you about her AGT Bohemian Rhapsody performance? ... Your Welcome 😂. She finally released her debut EP under her new label Republic Records & it's fire!!! My fav tracks & you need to hear & react to, are Diamond, Good In Goodbyes and All My Fault. What's even more mind blowing is her writing is just as fabulous as her vocals, as she stated in her live stream release that this EP consists of 6 songs she chose out of around a 100 that she's written to date in her song journal.🤯🤯
Haha! You did! You get to say "I told you so"! lol! Thanks for the suggestion Rob. Also - wow. I love that she has such a strong work ethic. She's going to go far.
Thank you for the double hit. I suspect she hasn't really won you over quite yet, so take the ten year jump...seven to 17. Listen to her original "Diamond". She'll either have you for always or never.
Ha! Thanks Tom! I'll definitely listen to that! And hey, I like her. I think she's a wonderful singer! Amazing voice and many talents. The thing I appreciate about her is what a kind human she is and that she keeps on learning and working on her craft. You don't have to have me won over to make me appreciate you. 😊🙏
Look at the audiences at her concerts. She has a predominately gray fan base. Not since Shirley Temple has a child performer had so many adoring, adoptive 'grandparents'. This new EP is definitely targeted at youthful listeners without driving off enduring fans.
What a wonderful reaction Roni. I'm glad you was able to witness a maturity in almost 6 yrs difference. It does get better from here on out and you also get to see her journey to her today's music. Angelina is not one you want to miss out on for she will be the future sensation and the surprise from a time capsule.
Her Gloomy Sunday was probably great, but it doesn't dazzle me either. On the other hand, her Summertime in the finals at NGT is among her best, and is mind bogglingly good. I don't mind that you weren't that impressed with the first song. Your reaction to Bohemian Rhapsody was worth my admission price and made up for it.
Oh man thank you! And I'll make sure to watch it! I got a lot of suggestions to watch more of her NGT, and even though I didn't want to do too much of NGT or AGT, I'm re considering. 🙏🎶💜🤟
Same here. Going on five years at least 1 hour a day. When something new comes out.... 2-3 hours a day. She's all I want to listen to. I can't help it and I can't go without it. Is my life better for it ? Damn right it is. 🦶🦶😇❤️❤️
That wonderful double reaction Roni, I loved. Every time I see these two epochal interpretations of hers, I shiver again and continue to get excited, Angelina has this incredible power, every time she sing knows how to touch the strings of your soul and make them play in tune with her voice, she could be define an anime capture.💛🧡❤
Not only did Angelina get the golden buzzer from judge Heidi Klum, but she also received huge praise from the remaining members of the legendary Queen. Queen were delighted with Angelina's arrangement and shared it on Twitter with the words "WOW, what a rendition" (three years later they repeated their praise on TT in March 27th 2023 with the words "absolutely killed it".) What was unfortunately not to be Seen here, all four judges came on stage to congratulate Angelina (very rarely). 👣💯 *AJ* 💯👣 BTW, Angelina released her version of Bohemian Rhapsody with permission from Queen on January 24th, 2020 under her own label ANGELINA JORDAN INC. shortly after Angelina celebrated her 14th birthday. (to date more than 12 million listeners on Spotify alone) 🤗🤗
There was once a video available that showed Simon and the other judges coming onstage to congratulate Angelina after her golden buzzer. Simon told Angelina that he didn't know if she realized how good she was. Simon was very impressed. I had it saved, but it was taken down.
Great, thanks! You only have 5 early originals and 190+ covers to catch up on before you arrive at her original EP of 6 songs released earlier this month. Would love to see you get into it all! Start with her 2nd performance for Norway's' Got Talent, "I'm a Fool to Want You" sung a cappella followed up with the same song at 11 for her first album "It's Magic" with the Norwegian Military Band.
Haha, might take me some time to cover all of that. I'll try to make another double video soon, but it might take me some time. I have a long list with more artists to discover! But I'll get to it! 🙏🎶🎶
Nice reaction, Roni. What's really impressive about the NGT is the improvement Angelina makes through the 4 songs. It's amazing. Angelina is not only a great, self-driven musical artist, she's also a great human being. Please watch or react to the 2 attached links I'm putting below. The 1st one is an interview at 9 years old after publishing her book on why she doesn't wear shoes and the other is the song "Unchained Melody" she sang during the interview. You might wanna have a box of tissues close by. ruclips.net/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/видео.html ruclips.net/video/wPfMzMeBLbo/видео.html
Hey! Thank you for watching! I already watched her interview! But thank you for attaching the link! And I'll add your suggestion to my list! Thank you! Might take me a bit of time to get to it, but I will!
IANAS (not a singer) , I'm a cellist/pianist/occarinist ok that last one is a stetch....but to see a proper singer discover AJ is always a treat. You've done a cracking mix of her songs and you can't really go wrong. Million Miles (studio version) will show you another feather to her bow, writing original songs. Easy on Me or Stay are some other amazing covers. We're here for all of it, whatever you choose next 🙂
Ah thank you! And I had to Google search for "occarinist" 😅😅 I actually did watch "Million Miles" on the first video I published reacting to AJ. After I finished editing my reaction, I was intrigued to hear that song. Beautiful. Loved it.
The support she have from her family is determinant for where she is now, and it´s very well expressed in the question her mother asks before she go on stage: are you ready inside ? (simply beautiful).
And I love that! I'm always scared when it comes to talented youngsters... I fear that too much too soon can hurt them and change their quality and personality to the worst, but I am so happy that her parents are supportive of her.
Also - one of the things I value most about humans is kindness.. So.. Big plus for me 🎶🙏💜
Thanks for watching the video, really appreciate it.
Someone asked her mom if she cried during her audition because she was proud of her and she said it was because she knew she had lost her to the world.
Yes people mentioned it.. 💜🎶✨️
Great reaction Roni...nice to see you reacting with Angelina...a generational talent the likes of which haven't been here on this planet in decades....🥰🥰
🤟🎸🎶
love your reaction this girl is a star
💜🎶🙏
Roni, your voice is absolutely beautiful!
🥲💜🙏🎶 Thank you!
Looks like she got you right in the feels!. Be well.
I LOVED her performance on Bohemian Rapsody! 🎶🤟🙏
Bang Bang, the 2rd song of her NGT performances will blow your mind!
Looking forward to it!
Great reaction ,I envy your coming adventure discovering her mass of out of this world covers not to mention her own compositions as well , she is a master level song writer and arranger.
🙏🎶🤟
One of my favorites of Angelina is Summertime! Oh.. and Bang Bang!!
I got you! On my list!
Amazing ❤
💜🌟✨️🎶
FYI, AJ has been rearranging many of the covers she sings since age 8.
Yes it was mentioned once or twice 😉🙏🎶
From now on, you are destined to embark on an ethereal journey guided by her angelic presence, promising you immense enjoyment along the way.
Hers and many others. I'm really enjoying this musical journey I'm going through with you guys. Grateful that I've opened up this channel and started taking suggestions - that's how I discovered Angelina, NF, Ren, Chinchilla, and many more to come!
Great reaction! 😮😂 The best is yet to come. Hang on to your feels. See you soon.
Ayyy! Thank you! Looking forward to it!
Angelina é fantástica 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🙏🙏
🌟✨️🤟🎶
I'm not embarresed to say it, But I have listened to her every day for going on 3 years or more now. My Wife has it just as bad as me as well. It's an amazing affliction to share. :D
Ha! How nice that you share the same taste. 💜😍😌
Oh so I'm not the only crazy one listening to her all the time. Hahaha haha😂

Whew, I may not be insane.

New subscriber! Lucky you, getting to experience all of Angelina Jordans masterpieces for the first time! I agree the Gloomy Sunday was amazing because of her song choice, positive demeanor and just how darn cute she was. We could tell she had something special going on even then, however. At 10 years old she performs Feeling Good. Much like her genius arraignment of Queen, check out how she presents FG live on TV with a jazz backing .
Thank you Ron! Welcome to the channel!
I hope you'll enjoy over here. And yes I really loved her Bohemian Rapsody performance and arrangement.
you need to react to the rest of her performances on Norways got talent each performance gets better and better
They are all on my list to watch. Thanks! 🙏
Angelina is magical, an old soul without a doubt, you're going to go crazy with her (feeling good) on tv 2 and at 10 years old she's great, thanks Roni sdos Argentina
Hi Argentina! And I will add it to my list! Thank you!
In the Gloomy Sunday video, as little Angelina is headed out to the stage she is met by Andreas the soundman. The next Summer, TV2 got her on the outdoor stage at one of their Alsang Pa Grensen (sing along the border) shows, and there was Andreas, wiring the little girl up. Eight years later the now 16 year old (and 6' tall) Angelina was back at Alsang Pa Grensen and there was Andreas wiring her up again. I don't know her concert schedule for this summer, but I bet Andreas does
Oh what a fun fact! I wonder if he asked her about the microphone again just as a joke. 😅
✒️...about 4 years ...every day is a "Angelina Day"...😉❤
😊🙏🫠
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
🙏🙏🙏🫂🎶
Imagine being the sound guy helping her learn to use the microphone 😊
Pfff that part actually made me giggle a little in my mind. 😄
Let me take this opportunity to say to you: "Welcome to the wonderful world of Angelina Jordan!" It looks like you are about to join us around the world on her musical journey. It will be an experience you could never have imagined. Roni, what I get from watching this video is you concentrate on the talent of the artist and that is fine. And, btw, I love your format and particularly the "up close" video effect. But, this needs to be said. What you hear when you are listening to Angelina sing 'for you' is the love in her voice which originates in her soul. It touches your heart because your heart recognizes her love and jumps on it. And once it's there it will never leave you. During 'Bohemian Rhapsody' you had to refrain from starting to tear up during the song. The message your heart sends to the rest of your body is goosebumps, starting to tear up (with an urge to cry) and usually finding it very difficult to speak during her performance. Roni, my point being is that Angelina is not only vocally and artistically incredibly talented but she is also a very humble, kind, caring and loving human being. The sound you hear cannot be manufactured or taught, it is real, very real and you will be missing out unless you find out 'who she is'. Roni, she's special. For example (unless you know already) why she sings barefoot is a story you need to know.
I look forward to more Angelina reactions from you. I just subscribed.
Hey Robert!
First of all, thank you for subbing! Much appreciated and welcome!
Secondly - thank you for the positive feedback.
Thirdly - I know of the barefoot story and I think I mentioned it before (maybe on some comment replies), that what I love and appreciate is that artists are kind and that they are continuing to work on their craft.
Thanks again for coming in and for the comment! 🙏💜🤙🎶🎸
There is a wonderful documentary available on RUclips about Angelina's early years called Born to Sing! Highly worth the reaction!
Thanks! 🙏
The minute AJs mother wiped away the tears of joy for her daughter, she also realized that she would have to share her with the rest of world! Why she selected the song; AJs mother was shocked find AJ still awake beyond midnight and asked her mother for her Tablet (or what ever device was available) and AJ went on YT and found what she would describe as a beauty woman singing Gloom Sunday; AJ loved the melody. Sidebar if her mother truly knew the meaning of the song AJ probably would not be singing this song. Gloom Sunday was written in the 1930 during the Great Depression and was call the Hungarian Suicide Song. At the time some blamed the song for a rise in suicides. Note: AJ has not to the best of my knowledge sung Gloomy Sunday again!
Very interesting. It is indeed a sad song. 😔
You did indeed point to the prettiest thing in the room ;-)
Anyway, Angelina is a magical creature -- she's so insanely good that I sometimes find myself giggling like a lunatic at the ridiculousness of it and simultaneously crying at the emotions she conveys . . . .
😅😂 I have nothing to offer you but a virtual hug and a giggle! 🫂😂
Edit: I meant the wall! not me!! lol Oh gosh now I feel like an idiot.😅😅😅😶🌫️😶🌫️😶🌫️😶🌫️
@@ronireacts_to_all You are so far from being an idiot that THAT is not even funny :-)
For her to sing Gloomy Sunday like that at 7 . Yes of course she was cute but do that at 7 was cute and pretty impressive. Check out her other songs in NWGT . Pretty amazing for a tiny little one. No one expected you to say she sounds like a grown up 😂😂😂
You'd be surprised... 😅
But yes I did think it was VERY impressive.
You should watch the rest of the Norway’s Got Talent. The transformation is amazing.
I will! Probably off camera, but I will!
@@ronireacts_to_all you're not going to react to the remaining ngt performances , why not ?
@tomwhite4736 I don't feel like saturating too much of AGT here and also, I rather react to things from AJ's channel. I want to push views to her and her own content in her own channel. Fly me to the moon is on her channel, so that one I'll watch. 😊
@@ronireacts_to_all nice excuse but bohemian rhapsody was not Angelina channel , if you intend to concentrate on Angelinas channel then you will severely restrict your choice of performances a great deal of her performances are not on her official channel or her cover channel , you will miss out on some great performances from other sources , from TV shows and from fan made videos from dedicated fan channels with numerous performances of high quality .BTW its NGT ( Norway 🇳🇴 got talent) I was referring to not AGT , but I suppose you will have the same reason for not doing all of the remaining AGT CHAMPIONS performances . ( saturation, ) all her performances of NGT and AGT are short videos hardly " war and peace " Lol. and you don't have to react to them concurrently. but hey if you're not feeling and connecting to Angelina as strongly as us fans OK. but your excuse doesn't hold water imo .
@tomwhite4736 No you're right. I noticed after editing this video that the links are not from her channel. And that's why I made that decision.
Also, thanks for the correction NGT, not AGT!
And we'll see. Don't you rather I'd react to something of her own channel?
Knowing that I won't be able to post ALL of the requests, (I'll listen to them, but I can't possibly film all of it), plus knowing I have other artists I want to discover, with all that in mind - would you still recommend her NGT performances over her other repertoire? (Serious question, because you guys know better than me what to watch next).
Within a year of the first video her voice had improved 100-fold, she has done over 150 videos on RUclips, and each is a treasure.
Can't wait to see more.
One thing we all need to remember. English is not her native language, of course, although I read that she was very familiar with English. Can you imagine singing that song on an awards show at seven in a language that is your second language? Blows your mind even more when you put it into that perspective. Then, if you go and listen to Billie Holiday sing the song here on YT it sounds really close to the way she sang it. Pronunciation and all.
@donnareece5454 Oh, I wasn't even talking about the pronunciation. No, she did great! A 7 year old singing a song so hard? That's impressive. Especially when it's a different language.
I said she is adorable because she just I'd in that video.
But what REALLY got me was her performance of "Bohemian Rapsody." Out of the two videos - that one was the one I connected with most.
🤟🙏🎶💜
@@donnareece5454
It’s actually a misnomer that English is her second language, because children in that part of the world learn English from the day they are born. It’s not uncommon for kids to know the native language, English, and a third language, and that they are fluent in all of them.
@@nfpnone8248 So true, even at 4 years old i could understand most english on the TV. English is seen as an elemental subject in school and we are even required to take 3-7 years of additional languages. I'm totally fluent in Swedish and English, have average Spanish and Japanese knowledge and can comprehend most west european languages on a basic level, especially in writing where you can take your time because people talk so bloody fast.
Angelin was singing at a world class level at 8yrs old, all ove the world 😊
🎶🙏
Yes indeed! You are SO right
I can't explain it. But when you start listening to Angelina it is like healing for the soul and you can't get enough of her. I hope you make the journey to the world of Angelina. And we are all by your side doing it
Thank you! I'm definitely intrigued to listen and watch more.
very good reaction,, I still enjoy watching first time reactors, To bohemian rhapsody... The best norway's got talent performance was probably. " bang bang"
She's now 17 and just released an EP , It's charting on itunes.,..... I think a good spot for you to go
Would be when she was. 14 and wrote her first original a. " million miles" would enjoy your reaction to that....It's a song for her grandfather who passed away.. #ANGELS
Oh man... I already watched it off camera.
The first video I reacted to Nagelina, I put it on the very end of the video, so naturally I was intrigued and watched it all off camera... 🙏🙏😬
You stopped it before the best judge reaction. The lady, screen right, said, after Angelina went off stage, "It's like she's been drinking whiskey since she was one year old".
🙏🌟✨️
Our barefoot princess... There is no definition that does justice to such genius... I would love to see her singing a song by Tom Jobim. 😇
She did 🎶
ruclips.net/video/nBGMQ9Kx9iI/видео.html 🤙
@@ronireacts_to_all 😌 Oops... this is "Fly me to the moon", a composition by Bart Howard, made famous by Frank Sinatra's voice... she hasn't sung any Bossa Nova classics yet, but any of them would look amazing with her voice...
Wow! If Roni had said that the celebrity judge on the left side of the panel was her sister, I’d believe it. They look a lot alike.
Haha! A few commented this. I can see it!
You may want to hang around the 10 to 13 age of Angelina's catalog for a bit pure vocal mastery before what her voice sounds like now at 17.
Looking forward to it! 🙏💜🎶
Angelina will end up being on the Mount Rushmore of all time singers. Enjoy the ride. There is another amazing singer, her name is Morgan James. She did a cover of Aerosmith Dream On, which you will be blown away. Enjoy.
Ohhh! Thank you! Added to my list and looking forward to it!
She walked out on that stage like a lion, fearless.
Oh yes. Major confidence there! Can you imagine standing in front of so many people? I did a few small theater shows, and I was still excited and semi scared. It took me about a week to get over the fear. Still had butterflies, but wow..
@@ronireacts_to_all And 11 years old she performed to 40.000 people, opening for Norah Jones. I also remember seeing an interview somewhere, when I think she was 8-9 years old, where she said that she just loved to be on stage and never wanted to leave!
@@Tomas-OdebrantThat interview was before she performed " shield " on the same show 2 different videos .aged 12 .
Wow I so love your heartfelt reactions. Ty hun Angelina is the greatest angelic vocalist of today I love our barefoot princess 😍
🙏💜✨️🌟🎶 she's pretty awesome!
@@ronireacts_to_all yes dear I so believe in the power of music. And she's sings the song like no other with full emotions 🔥 I so love all of your reactions to Angelina you get it ty. Looking forward to more from your platform 👍😎
Ps. Her EP is out it's banging good she writes her own songs. I believe you will love all of them especially If diamond 💎 she's sassy lolol. 🔥😎
Love your reactions!
Thank you Chris! Love having you here!
Hi there Roni. Great reaction though. The two videos you have reacted to made more then 95 millions views..... In a 10 years career Angelina did more then 180 covers and 6 originals plus the just released EP with 6 specacular songs. I consider Angelina the Queen of Modern Vintage. Her artistry Is out of this world. Hope you do more reactions. Cheers from Italy
Hello Italy!! Thank you for coming by this video! And yes, she accomplished a lot!
At NGT her mom Sara was asked why she was crying back stage ,,, she stated that she had just realized she had to share her baby with the world ...
Ohhhh... 😭🩷🫠
It is nice seeing Angelina go from young to older and see the difference, but since you weren't familiar with the song or original singer, her is the link to a virtual duet done by one of Angelina's biggest fans. His channel is where people go to get videos of AJ. Angelina on stage at Norway's Got Talent with Billie Holiday's face off to the right, both singing in real time. Take notice to how close to exact this 7 year old is beside one of the greats. ruclips.net/video/H_5_AT_N-pg/видео.html Oh, and just wait until you react to the songs on her new EP. 😊
I can't wait to catch her new EP. Thank you! 🙏
...one of the best Angelina Jordan reactions I've seen so far (and I have seen over 11,000!) ...unfortunately you are far avay from my hometown - but if you are visiting Berlin/Germany we have to talk about about Agelina 😁
Best wishes from Berlin/Germany and stay well and healthy
Andreas
😎
Oh Andreas! Thank you!
I would love to visit Germany some day. I'll keep this channel updated!
And a young Angelina said early on that Billie Holiday was her biggest inspiration/influence. Sheesh, you don't expect a girl to say something like that! Also, because you're not going to check out the rest of her performances on Norway's Got Talent, you are not going to see The Jump/Change with her. After singing Gloomy Sunday and then I'm A Fool To Want You, both by Billie Holiday, her next 2 performances showed a huge leap in her singing ability. She sang the songs Bang Bang and Summertime which were fantastic. The voice you heard in Gloomy Sunday? That is long gone by the time she sang Summertime in the Finals.
Oh I'll watch it! I don't feel like "over saturating" here the reactions from AGT performances, but I'll definitely watch them!
Angelina’s voice and her total being is like an ocean wave or soft summer breeze that takes you in and rushes you to places you have rarely experienced. Your heart rate increases, you find it difficult to catch your breath, chills and shells engulf you. You are now addicted to Angelina Jordan the finest story telling vocalist I have ever experienced in years of listening to the best the industry has to offer.
Sir. That comment is poetry.🙏💜
Angelina brings out the best in all of us who dare experience her total being.@@ronireacts_to_all

🙏💜🎶🎸🤟
About 2 years after this the youngest judge who interviewed her, Omer Bhatti, when he was visiting his long times friends at Christmas time he introduced Michael's mother to AJ's singing.
How nice!
Two such iconic performances, brilliant choices. She truly is one in a Billion! ( x7)
🤙🎸🎶
I have been listening Angelina since 2014 every day ❤
Nice! I recently discovered some new artists, and they are giving me that thing. You know, that thing Angelina gives you. 😁 💜🎸🎶🙏
Gloomy Sunday.
Here is a quote from Angelina (7y) from an interview with TV2 after her Auditions 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 "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. " ♥👣👸🏻🎷
👍😎😎😎👍I know that quote very well 🤗
It makes me feel so good to know that there are dedicated fans who know so much about their favorite artists. 🎶😍🙏 gives me hope 😊
I love how you know all the quotes and details. It really gives me hope to know that people care about artists. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Ole, Andy wants to know if you have comments disappearing on RUclips?
It has happened to me many times. Some for posting links for some reason. Or promoting Streaming on spotify. I think those are some of the reasons they do it. I looked at their Terms of Service I believe and I some conditions that could be behind it. Usually clears up after a day or two. Pain in the A**.🙂♥👣@@MichaelGroves777
Roni, I think if you were to watch Billie holidays singing Gloomy Sunday you would be jaw dropped at how incredibly similar they sound, it’s remarkable, and may give you a different perspective on Angelina’s performance. Peace
Hey! Thanks for saying that!
I was impressed by her performance, and she is indeed adorable (I mean, she's so young and sweet in that show).
But for me... it's just really hard to compare a child's voice to grown woman's voice.
I was impressed, but what made me feel - was Bohemian Rapsody.
I do look forward seeing more of her covers and songs though! I have a long list of suggestions, so... a lot to watch!
🙏💜🤟🎶
Angelina’s journey as an artist from 7 to 13 (thru 17) is all recorded on RUclips. Well over 150 Covers by over 70 of the best known songs and artists, and she holds her own and in many cases, she improves the songs. She also has during that time five originals. I hope you get a chance to explore that incredible journey by this future Icon.
She's on my watch list so I look forward to it. I really want to check more of her originals and new EP that came out. 🙏
I saw Her Gloomy Sunday performance 4y ago and that was the moment she caught me and don't let me go 💕 listen every day from that momen😢t and she has so much beautiful songs out for listening 🎧
Her bohemian Rhapsody shows her Genius as a complete artist as an arranger , storyteller and vocalist. She said it at the beginning, the biggest opportunity of her life 🧬. She took the risk and send her to highest level. It changed her life as Howie said.
Now she's Old enough with her new EP, a fireworks 🎆
Firstly, I love that for you! That's wonderful! How fun that we find that person who gives us this art on a daily basis. 🫠...
And yes Howie was on point! I'm glad she got to perform there and blew up!
Taking the risk is one of the hardest things to do. So... much respect!
She is a gift to the world ,trying to make it a better place
🎶🎶🎶✨
Hey Roni! When you get chance check this out!!!! I want to thank you, also you may not have heard this one from 2020 when she was 14 years old.This song is insanely good. TRXD song she did with them called (Above The Water) Another amazing song from Angelina Jordan. No End to her talent, she takes anyone vibe and makes it outrageous. Love her.
Thanks! I'll check it out!
Continuing on your journey she is worth it she is the g.o.a.t. wild bill
🙏
Anybody regardless of age that can emulate Billie Holiday is Amazing. Now factor in that Angelina is 7 years old. Her Dad said it best. She sings jazz like a God
🎶
Hi yah Roni, you better slip into your floppy ears, cuz this is an epic rabbit hole. Angelina covers them all from Billie Holiday to Elvis, Adele, Amy Winehouse, Whitney Houston , The Beatles and even Michael Jackson. There are her originals too. I'm lovin' YOU and your channel!
Haha love your comment! Thank you! And yes I do look forward to hear more from her.
I do have a looooooong list though, so it might take a while, but I'll get to her. Hope you are doing well! ⚡🎸🙏🤘🎶
You have to understand that between 7 and 13 she has more experience then most older stars......guest singing around Europe and Asia and her own home town so she has lots of experience at 13......
I get it. But I'm talking about life experience. She is very impressive, so don't get me wrong there. But when people say she sounds "exactly like Billy Holiday", I just can't agree on that.
And that's OK. That's my opinion and my ear to things. I'm not a professional musician so it's only one honest opinion. Mine. 🙏
Great comments on a couple of Angelina's history-making performances!! She has quite a lot of them! Enjoy the journey!
Thanks Ken!
Incredible Angelina !
💜🎶
I haven't heard anyone express that Angelina has no talent...it's clear for all to see that she oozes it. But what got me hooked on Angelina was the tremendous strides she made at 9, 10, 11, 12 and even 13 in her vocal technique, her ability to emote with such passion, and her artistry. And on top of all of that, she is just a wonderful human being full of love and empathy for those in need. I am glad you are going to continue down Angelina's path. We are here with you.
Thank you Bill! Much appreciated to have you here! 🙏
You really should react to the other 3 song on Norways got talent of Angelina, i know you think Angelina sounded cute and kiddish, but that is Exactly how Billy Holidays Voice sounds in the original song and Angelina Nailed it at 7yrs old, the comparison is Uncanny
I'll have to disagree on that. But I respect your opinion.
Just to make it clear:
I don't think her performance was "kiddish". It was very impressive, especially when it comes to a 7 yo.
BUT, to say that it's exactly like Billy's performance doesn't do justice to Billy Holiday. Behind Billy's voice there are years of experience, heart breaks, complexity and layers that a child (as talented as she is), is still yet to have gain. (Thank goodness).
That's only my opinion.
Hello Roni, thank you for your reaction to Angelina. I just wanted to comment on you saying that on gloomy Sunday you just saw she was mostly cute and adorable. Some of us are visually acute and that becomes a large portion of 0:06 our perception of what we are witnessing. In the case with Angelina on this particular song, it's hard to get past her cuteness, but there was something more going on there. First of all her pitch was perfect, second of all her capture of Billie Holiday style was uncanny, and her concentration and emotional awareness of what she was singing was literally on an adult level. And a lot of times with Angelina you have to close your eyes and just listen to her sing so that you can get past how young she is. If you haven't done so yet, you should listen to all of her performances on Norway's got talent. She will get you passed how cute she is at seven and eight years old, and totally impress you on her vocal ability at that age. The song that finally won her to contest was Summertime, and I would strongly advise you to at least watch that one from when she was 8 years old, though she was still cute in that performance. Loved your reaction, thank you
Hey William! Thank you for popping by and for watching the video!
Really appreciate it.
As I replied before... it's really hard for me to compare her voice at 7, to Billy Holiday's. However, I was impressed by that performance.
Cheers!
The live performances for the actual shows of the NGT competition are not to be missed, though. Bang Bang and Summertime are really something.
🙏🙏🙏
❤❤❤❤❤💥
🙏💜🤟🎶
During Gloomy Sunday, her mother said she started crying backstage because she realized in that moment that she had somewhat lost her daughter to the public now.
Oh yes, someone else mentioned that.
Actually the Norway's Got Talent had three more song's, each progressively better (significantly) , The second sung acapella. By the 3rd song (Bang Bang) your mind gets blown. I agree the first was cute only. remember English is not her first language!... Loved your review!
I would argue her last, Summertime, is her best at NGT. Although many don't appreciate how good Gloomy Sunday was until they hear Billie Holiday sing it or better yet the mash up video of the two together. Same with I Put a Spell On You. It was absolutely amazing but even more so when you hear how she interpreted the original Screamin Jay Hawking version.
Hmmmm, I think the a cappella one was her audition, the first.
She's adorable there.
I mean, don't take me wrong, She's impressive. But the second video, to me at least, is the one that made me feel.

@@alberttenfoot Thanks!!! Oh well, for me, she looked younger and the energy/vibe seemed more like a first audition for "I'm a Fool to Want You".
You only had one more judge to hear and his question and her answer are precious. ...just sayin'
Oh! Yes! I did! Just off camera. I didn't want to prolong the reaction video too much.. And yes he was right. They were all right. (:
And Queen liked it so much the remaining members tweeted out and gave her the rights to copyright her version of the song for royalties. It's available on all the streaming services. As stated the other 3 NGT performances are worth reacting to. Most of what she has covered at the ages of 10-13 are in no way 'child like', if you listened without seeing her you'd swear she's at least 20-40 years old.
Oh yes, that's why I didn't believe she was just 13 when she sang it. It had so much power. I really enjoyed it.
Loving You, or Diamonds are forever.
Live in Concert when she was 11yo. The whole set is a powerhouse set.
I think she sounds like a child...with 20-40 years of wisdom/exposure to the greats.
Queen allowed her to copyright her version of this song , she does her own arrangements on each song she sings
Very very cool. I love Queen. I used to listen to them a lot.
Thanks for taking the time to share 2 more Angelina reactions with us. What was amazing to me about Angelina's Gloomy Sunday performance at age 7 was her stage presence. After being a little nervous during her short interview - once she started singing, she sounded just like a seasoned pro. Following that performance with Angelina's reinterpretation of the Queen classic Bohemian Rhapsody at age 13 really showcased her incredible growth as a singer & performer. And - as you noted - at age 13 Angelina's emotional impact is unbelievable. I strongly believe that Angelina has the innate GOD given gift to be able to emote the essence of each song she sings direct to our hearts & souls allowing us to also deeply FEEL her music as it flows through her. Btw - even though it wasn't shown in the Bohemian Rhapsody video, Angelina did receive the golden buzzer from Heidi Klum. They became good friends & still are today. In fact Heidi recently selected Angelina (now 17) to perform at GNTM (Germany's Next Top Model) & Angelina delivered an incredible performance of the Amy Winehouse classic "Valerie". Looking forward to more of your Angelina reactions. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.
I'm happy to hear that she and Heidi became friends! That's awesome!
And I look forward hearing more from AJ!
A great video to introduce Angelina’s family,
When you react to Bohemian Rhapsody take notice during her performance they highlight audience members in the front row. That is Angelina's Family. From left to right Her uncle and manager Michael Astar, her little sister Juliette, her mother Sarah Astar and her grandmother Mery Zamani. Notice her little sister crossing her fingers as the performance starts and later her mother wipe tears from her eyes. Also remember she said she had waited 10 years to sing for Simon. When she was 3 years old she was begging her mother to go on 'that Simon show'. ♥👣👸🏻🎷
That was so adorable. And I love their joke saying "oh so the rest of us don't matter?" It was funny and sweet.
Gloomy Sunday performance was more than " adorable " it was a astonishing performance for a 7 year old as all the judges acknowledged. I guess she could have performed " twinkle twinkle little star " but she chose jazz and " Billie holiday "
Don't get me wrong. It's amazing that she chose this song and performed it well.
But in my opinion, and it's my opinion only, out of the two performances I watched, Bohemian Rapsody affected me much more.
No disrespect at all for the Gloomy Sunday performance at all, I simply said that Bohemian Rapsody was the one that blew my mind.
@@ronireacts_to_all I respect your opinion I just thought you could have been a little more enthusiastic and recognised the merits of this performance more , given how young she was and the circumstances of the performance .
I see. I'll take note.
I do try to be honest on my channel. If it came across a bit "harsh," I apologize.
You might have thought she was cute on her “Gloomy Sunday” audition, but once you hear her 2nd performance of “I’m a Fool to Want You”, also by Billie Holiday, which she sang a cappella to get into the semifinals, you will understand why when she won, she won with 46% of the votes in the finals out of 10 acts singing “Summertime” most notably sung by Ella Fitzgerald, and she had her first performance in front of a real audience weeks after her win on NGT and she sang Dinah Washington’s “What a Difference a Day Makes” which I consider one of her best performances, it’s incredible.
What you are missing with “I Put a Spell on You” is she arranged that performance herself, and she worked with the musicians so they would accompany her the way she wanted, she got the title from those who worked with her of “The Boss” not because she was bossy, but because she knew exactly what she wanted and didn’t have any trouble communicating it to those who worked with her. Obviously she still had a child’s voice, but once you start listening to her, you don’t care!
Yes people pointed out that on "I put a Spell on you". Very impressive!
Recently I was in a discussion about the Content Angelina chooses to Sing. At the end of the conversation, a statement I wrote caught my attention right after I wrote it, and I think it really says A Lot about Angelina . . .
' I D O N ' T L I S T E N t o A N G E L I N A f o r w h a t S H E S I N G S ;
I L I S T E N t o A N G E L I N A f o r W H O S H E I S . ' how many ' Artists ' does that Apply to today ?
Not a lot, but a few. Cool saying, though. I like it. And yes, from what I learned, she is a kind soul, a hard worker, and very respectful. So I like that her fans see that and hopefully learn from it. 🎶🙏
Thatroni is very beautiful
Now I'm blushing 🤗😅😶🌫️
She will become the greatest storyteller since radio was invented, having the storytelling ability of Bob Dylan and the voice of Maria Callas. P.S. the arrangement belongs to her like the stage dress, created with the collaboration of her artist grandmother. She is an artist at 360° and she is only 17 years old.
These are big names Frances. I look forward to see what she'll do next.
She is the best of the best. She's unlike anything we have seen since maybe Judy Garland. But THIS girl is singing EVERYTHING,.. every kind of music out there.
I really liked Bohemian Rhapsody. Really well done!
As others have no dobut already said (not bothering to check), I can understand your reaction to her "Gloomy Sunday" audition, but you will want to watch (and please react to) her remaining three performances in the competition (see, for example, the playlist "React to Angelina Jordan on Norway's Got Talent" on my channel), because I _know_ you will be shocked at how much she improved from one performance to the next.
Thanks Donaled I'll do my best! 🤟🎶🙏
Remember last AJ video, I told you about her AGT Bohemian Rhapsody performance? ... Your Welcome 😂. She finally released her debut EP under her new label Republic Records & it's fire!!! My fav tracks & you need to hear & react to, are Diamond, Good In Goodbyes and All My Fault. What's even more mind blowing is her writing is just as fabulous as her vocals, as she stated in her live stream release that this EP consists of 6 songs she chose out of around a 100 that she's written to date in her song journal.🤯🤯
Haha! You did! You get to say "I told you so"! lol!
Thanks for the suggestion Rob.
Also - wow. I love that she has such a strong work ethic. She's going to go far.
It always tear up
💜🙏🎶
AJMA🇧🇩
🎶
Roni, I do believe your doppelgänger is the female judge on the far left. Unless, of course, you've been moonlighting as a Norwegian talent judge! 😂
Hahaha! IT WAS ME ALL ALONG!!!
I do see it, though. I kind of have similar features as her. ⚡️🙏
So glad you reacted to these 2 songs!! Wow wow wow is right.
💜🤟🎶
Heidi Klum gave her the Golden Buzzer
Yup!
Thank you for the double hit. I suspect she hasn't really won you over quite yet, so take the ten year jump...seven to 17. Listen to her original "Diamond". She'll either have you for always or never.
Ha! Thanks Tom! I'll definitely listen to that!
And hey, I like her. I think she's a wonderful singer! Amazing voice and many talents. The thing I appreciate about her is what a kind human she is and that she keeps on learning and working on her craft.
You don't have to have me won over to make me appreciate you. 😊🙏
Look at the audiences at her concerts. She has a predominately gray fan base. Not since Shirley Temple has a child performer had so many adoring, adoptive 'grandparents'. This new EP is definitely targeted at youthful listeners without driving off enduring fans.
💯
🙏🙏🙏
What a wonderful reaction Roni. I'm glad you was able to witness a maturity in almost 6 yrs difference. It does get better from here on out and you also get to see her journey to her today's music. Angelina is not one you want to miss out on for she will be the future sensation and the surprise from a time capsule.
Hey Abbie! Thank you!
And yes I really enjoy seeing the difference between the ages. She is one impressive girl! 🙏🎶
Her Gloomy Sunday was probably great, but it doesn't dazzle me either. On the other hand, her Summertime in the finals at NGT is among her best, and is mind bogglingly good. I don't mind that you weren't that impressed with the first song. Your reaction to Bohemian Rhapsody was worth my admission price and made up for it.
Oh man thank you! And I'll make sure to watch it! I got a lot of suggestions to watch more of her NGT, and even though I didn't want to do too much of NGT or AGT, I'm re considering. 🙏🎶💜🤟
I felt the same way about the songs, if you get the chance watch her performance on Norways got talent of Summertime, you will see the obvious talent.
Thanks! On my list!
Same here. Going on five years at least 1 hour a day. When something new comes out.... 2-3 hours a day. She's all I want to listen to. I can't help it and I can't go without it.
Is my life better for it ? Damn right it is. 🦶🦶😇❤️❤️
That's amazing. 🙏😄
That wonderful double reaction Roni, I loved. Every time I see these two epochal interpretations of hers, I shiver again and continue to get excited, Angelina has this incredible power, every time she sing knows how to touch the strings of your soul and make them play in tune with her voice, she could be define an anime capture.💛🧡❤
Claudio hi! I absolutely loved Bohemian Rapsody! She had lots of power in it. Loved it!
Not only did Angelina get the golden buzzer from judge Heidi Klum, but she also received huge praise from the remaining members of the legendary Queen. Queen were delighted with Angelina's arrangement and shared it on Twitter with the words "WOW, what a rendition" (three years later they repeated their praise on TT in March 27th 2023 with the words "absolutely killed it".) What was unfortunately not to be Seen here, all four judges came on stage to congratulate Angelina (very rarely). 👣💯 *AJ* 💯👣
BTW, Angelina released her version of Bohemian Rhapsody with permission from Queen on January 24th, 2020 under her own label ANGELINA JORDAN INC. shortly after Angelina celebrated her 14th birthday. (to date more than 12 million listeners on Spotify alone) 🤗🤗
There was once a video available that showed Simon and the other judges coming onstage to congratulate Angelina after her golden buzzer. Simon told Angelina that he didn't know if she realized how good she was. Simon was very impressed. I had it saved, but it was taken down.
Nice! What an honor! See? I wasn't wrong that I said it was great! 😅💜🙏
Great, thanks! You only have 5 early originals and 190+ covers to catch up on before you arrive at her original EP of 6 songs released earlier this month. Would love to see you get into it all! Start with her 2nd performance for Norway's' Got Talent, "I'm a Fool to Want You" sung a cappella followed up with the same song at 11 for her first album "It's Magic" with the Norwegian Military Band.
Haha, might take me some time to cover all of that.
I'll try to make another double video soon, but it might take me some time. I have a long list with more artists to discover! But I'll get to it! 🙏🎶🎶
I think the most impressive part is that there is only a 5 year gap between the two videos and the amount of growth is absolutely insane
Nice reaction, Roni. What's really impressive about the NGT is the improvement Angelina makes through the 4 songs. It's amazing.
Angelina is not only a great, self-driven musical artist, she's also a great human being. Please watch or react to the 2 attached links I'm putting below. The 1st one is an interview at 9 years old after publishing her book on why she doesn't wear shoes and the other is the song "Unchained Melody" she sang during the interview. You might wanna have a box of tissues close by.

Hey! Thank you for watching!
I already watched her interview! But thank you for attaching the link! And I'll add your suggestion to my list! Thank you!
Might take me a bit of time to get to it, but I will!
Great reaction!! Please go and check out her version of Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - AGT Champions 2"... a wonderful performance... TX
Thanks! Will do my best!
IANAS (not a singer) , I'm a cellist/pianist/occarinist ok that last one is a stetch....but to see a proper singer discover AJ is always a treat. You've done a cracking mix of her songs and you can't really go wrong.
Million Miles (studio version) will show you another feather to her bow, writing original songs.
Easy on Me or Stay are some other amazing covers.
We're here for all of it, whatever you choose next 🙂
Ah thank you!
And I had to Google search for "occarinist" 😅😅
I actually did watch "Million Miles" on the first video I published reacting to AJ. After I finished editing my reaction, I was intrigued to hear that song. Beautiful. Loved it.
@@ronireacts_to_all ah yes you added 10 secs at the end. We didn't get your reaction so I forgot 😊
Yes... what a miss. On my end.
