Her grandmother was filming the video. Grandma said that Angelina was nervous and was afraid that she couldn’t hit the high notes. When she succeeds (of course), she smiles and jumps for joy. The second time she gives grandma the thumbs up. She’s so adorable.
What they did in Norwegian was to dicuss a part of the song that she did not get right. The dialogue was as it could have been between two adults. Yesterday I saw her perform live ten years after this recording. Now at 16 yrs of age she sings, acts and looks like being from another planet.
What doesn’t get enough recognition and appreciation about this breath taking performance is the fact that six year old Angelina is reading the lyrics. Think about it. How many six year olds do you know can read at this level? This is a supremely gifted and talented young child that knew exactly what she wanted to do in life, as an infant. The fact that she was writing the arrangements to the songs she covers at the age of seven, is the first Norwegian child to write a book and have it published, wrote three songs and recorded them by the age of twelve, won the “Norway’s Got Talent” singing competition at the age of seven, speaks four languages and plays several instruments is a clear indication that Angelina is a musical genius.
Angelina was nervous about hitting certain notes, she confessed to her grandmother. So when she hits these notes she gives granny a thumbs up, and smiles. At the end she asks her teacher if it was okay, he says not bad for the first take, lol.
Josh, I hope you had a pleasant Thanksgiving Day with your family! We don't see you much anymore but we can come back to these video's and watch your "stunning" reactions to Angelina. She's now 16 and will be 17 on Jan10th. Just wanted to stop by and say hello and wish you would do another Angelina video so that some new fans can discover her and you!
Look at her ease, so young and comfortable in front a big mike in a recording studio. I think she gives a thumbs up because she's mastering sliding from one night to another. She communicates with her engineer.
Of all of the young and talented singers I’ve seen on youtube none are at Angelina’s stratospheric level of development, musically and intellectually. This six year old performance is replete attributes that few adult singers are able to achieve. Her level of vision, ability, maturity, confidence, self discipline, hyper sensitivity and conviction is off the charts. She shattered conventional norms and expectations for child singers. Angelina has set the bar so high that it may be decades before someone else comes along to equal her other worldly abilities.
One of the videos of this song has subtitles. She asked if it was OK and he said it was very good but that she made a mistake with the words in one place. She said yes, she knew that and then asked if she could do it again! This is at a school for the arts that she attended, and this was an after school music class. The studio is at her school, and the tech is her teacher. There’s a second song she did there as well. It was her grandmother video taping her that she was giving the thumbs up.
@@KnuYorker Well, that just requires IQ, really. And it's common for such profound artists to have high IQs, anyway, so that makes sense. It's her emotional understanding, intelligence, and natural ability that is so remarkable at such a young age, if not really any age, for that matter. Based on what I know about her, my guess is that she is extremely gifted in terms of the creative side of her brain and has at least 120 IQ, which is Ph.D-level.
Chills, time after time. Not because she is cute or funny or six year old, but because she can make a song more beautiful than it was before and place it in your soul.
Angelina: Was it good? Technician: It was great Angelina. For a first time. Angelina: Laughs Technician: No it was completely beautiful, actually. Angelina: Laughs Technician: There was a some mess-up in the middle part. Angelina: Yes Technician: You shuffled some of the words around. Angelina: Laughs. Technician: How did you feel it worked yourself? Angelina: Wheeeel, it was ok... Only one sentence was... Technician: Yes, there were some (cuts off)
Thank you, indeed, Nils! I was working in trying to translate the final exchange between Angelina & sound technician and you avoid me this not easy work for an Italian not knowing Norwegian! Thank you again. 😋😉🤗
This was recorded in her school for performing arts' studio. Likely filmed by her grandmother, noted Iranian artist Mery Zamani. They are an inseparable duo as you will find out. Grandmother is where Angelina found her love for Jazz by listening to grandmothers jazz collection. Her thumbs up in the video is signaling grandma that she's happy with the way things are going. You will see Angelina do this quite often. You will also find that it's just not Angelina's voice that draws you in, it's her incredible soul, humility, and humanity. It's a package deal that cannot be separated. So, enjoy your time reacting to Angelina's musical journey. Its going to be a heck of a ride! Thanks for the reaction, and we're looking forward to many more.
Mmmhh, rotorhead, agree about all you say except the fact that "...found her love for Jazz by listening to grandmother's jazz collection." maybe it can be supposed but she never mentioned it, neither her mom. In the interview hereinafter she talked about (and you can see her) sneaking RUclips on her tablet and going to an Oslo JazzCafé listening to some Billie Holiday (e.g. Lady In Satin,...) - Do you know of 6yo children going to a jazzcafé? 😳😘 ruclips.net/video/4EPqVvliE7I/видео.html
@@stefanopratola6314 Yes I've seen that interview many times. I don't disagree about the RUclips browsing and the jazz cafe, but I believe I have read from Norwegian sources, her grandmothers love of jazz influenced her early on. I may be wrong, I don't know for sure.
@@rotorhead-fy7nc You're surely right about the influence but has never been mentioned about the music by the first concerned... 🤨 And given she adores her grandma, she certainly would not have failed to mention it.
@@stefanopratola6314 I can't prove my statement, so I'll cede to your statement. But one thing is a mystery to me. If at a very young age Angelina learned how to access RUclips and Type in the first 4 letters of a song, which has been reported, where did she get the name of the song she wanted to hear? It certainly wasn't from the jazz cafe at that age. Is it possible she heard it at Grandma's and then typed the name in at home to re-listen?
@@rotorhead-fy7nc Another string at his bow🤔😋😉 Anyway a pleasure for us all and soon we'll have more to benefit from: hope not have to wait too long! 🤩
I love watching reactors when they 'get it' about Angelina. Bewildered. Gobsmacked. Blown Away. All those. Enjoy your trip down the Angelina rabbit hole. It's nice down here :-)
I hate to tell you, but Angelina will astound you almost every single time. besides her fabulous tone, insane breath control, poise under pressure and ability to musically convey emotion, her interpretations of the songs she covers are on a whole 'nother level. Enjoy your trip down the rabbit hole.
Just to add some insight. As recorded she did sing at 18 months. At two through three she is scrolling through RUclips looking for Jazz artists. At four going on five you see her leading interviewer through her home showing her toys and clothes speaking English. She stops and picks up plastic toy guitar and starts singing Rolling In The Deep. At five you find her in vintage record shop looking through Jazz records carrying Frank Sinatra book. She sets down and starts playing piano. So here you have a five year old speaking Norwegian,Persian and English playing piano. Going to school and after school taking voice and music lessons. Taking piano, violin and flute. Her parents are trying to slow her down but she will have none of it. She is the driving force in her development. She is beyond prodigy as she by seven was arranging learning music theory. She knew exactly what she wanted at age three. Her mother states she has always chosen her own songs that she wants to sing and the way she wants to sing them. At age three she told her Mother she wanted to sing for Simon Cowell. At five she tells her she wants to sing at the Noble Peace Prize Concert. At the same time she also stated she wanted to sing for the world and be a superstar.
She will give you the chills so many more times! "This is crazy" Hold on to your hat. Amazement, surprise, smiles, some tears, favorites, then new favorites. A remarkable singer, a remarkable human being. Let the ride begin in earnest. Great as you get to and through Norway's Got Talent, greater as you move toward the present as a 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 year old. Many/most fans agree the greatest is just on the horizon. Surprise gives way to anticipated amazement. She does not disappoint. Have fun!!
Rusty mentioned that it wasn’t her first time in the school studio. The earlier videos are definitely worth watching just so you can see her improvement during that year. Hurt. And Rolling in the Deep. She sings with great enthusiasm and excitement. Lots of thumbs up to Grandma. But not so much craftsmanship going on. Just pure joy of doing what she loves. By the time the I Who Have recording happened she was paying more attention to her dynamics and vibrato. Just amazing for 6 years old.
Josh, if you knew what I know now, after watching so much Angelina for 10 months, you will put priority to your Angelina reactions. Singers are divided in 2 groups: Angelina and then the rest of singers. You'll see. Consider doing "I put a spell on you" when she was 9 years old.... watch out with anything fragile below your jaw because it will eventually go down to the table.
Thank you for this reaction to Angelina Jordan. She Asked the producer if was any good and the producer said Yes for being the first time. And then the producer said that she sang a little wrong in the middle and Angelina noticed that herself too. Thank you for this reaction.
Angelina said in an interview she is never nervous or afraid when performing for a big audience. Actually she feels at home when on a stage. She simply loves to perform. She has done numerous live concerts and never ever performed below expectations. Those expectations are super high now. Her videos are done in one take. She might have rehearsed a bit, but when the recorder is turned on she always performs so well. Another very impressive side of Angelina is that she makes very hard performances look so easy. It's like it's coming so natural to her without having to really push to nail the performance. Angelina also never falls for the temptation to show off with her vocal ability in her performances. She wants to convey emotions to us based on what the song really needs. There are a few songs she has done where she shows her big vocal range, very good breath control and power in her voice. She is also an expert in making her performances her own while still being respectful to the original. Quite a few of her performances are considered even better than the original. To top it off she has even made some songs herself which are very good. So you really have a lot of enjoyment to look forward to reacting Angelina performances.
It is really amazing to watch Angelina's progress from this point through the NGT performances. She goes from an amazing 6 year old to a seasoned professional in two year's time. This was her first take, btw, and I think the first time in a studio period. Good breath control, the starting of vibratto..... 6 year old reading English which is her THIRD language. I am subscribed to your channel, along with over 200 others, lol. The list gets ridiculous after a while. But I'm an Angelinaholic, so,,,,, I enjoy your reaction, and look forward to your next one.
Angelina the sponge. This was recorded by her grandmother who gave her the influence of classic jazz from infancy. The studio work was part of her training at the music academie. Not only is she fluent in English, but because her grandmother is from Iran she speaks Farsi, grandfather Japanese so she speaks some Japanese. She plays piano, guitar, flute, and violin. Studies dance and is guided in painting by her accomplished artist grandmother. A Gift Divine.
Also, Angelina's mother Sara and her uncle Michael were both raised in Japan and are fluent in Japanese. According to Michael they often chat in Japanese when the hang out.
She also speaks Swedish. Her father is Swedish. The Norwegian language is very close to the Swedish language and most people in both countries can easily communicate with each other
Great reaction! If your wife is a voice teacher and have taught kids, maybe next time have her react to Angelina with you? I'd introduce her to the wonderful world of Angelina thru the NGT performance of "Summertime" ( the song she won the final with), her performance was simply stunning... That song is also good to listen to if you want to gauge her singing voice as she has grown older, because she has performed it on camera several times thru the years.
Awesome reaction! Liked the intro with the lyrics, and your personal story at the end :) Cant wait to watch as you continue to discover how crazy talented this young prodigy is. Take care and see you in the next one, soon I hope!
I think it would have been appropriate to also mention the people who wrote the lyrics at this point. Not just present it as "a Tom Jones song", since it's actually an Italian song _"Uno Dei Tanti" (composed by the Italian pianist Carlo Donida)_ with the English adaptation of the lyrics written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, who among other hit songs wrote "Jailhouse Rock" & "King Creole" for Elvis Presley and got induced to the *_Songwriters Hall Of Fame_* in 1985.
Angelina is such a fascinating talent,obviously gifted,but also so passionate and engaged always.Her family and others have chronicled her development from day 1.There is even a video of her singing Whitney at only 18 months old.
Just a little girl who loves to sing showing what we will have in store for us in the future. This is a God given talent, the only explanation I have. I am so looking forward to more of your reactions Josh. Thank you so much for your time. Thumbs up, this is why I subscribed.
If you turn on the CC at the beginning the engineer makes a comment that she sang pretty well for the first time thru. We need to also realize that she is reading and singing in English which is not her native language at age six, I myself would have had problems reading almost anything at that age other then a "Dick and Jane reader books". That shows my age as most of you have never heard of Dick and Jane readers. Love your reactions.
You have a new subscriber. Angelina asked the sound engineer if it was good. He answered that it was very good to be the first time. She messed up a bit with the text, but otherwise she was happy. The recording was made at Oslo Music and Culture School, which Anglina attended.
Hi Josh. Thanks for a great raw reaction. She recorded this at her school at their sound booth. As @Niles R Grotnes put down on their conversation. Angie usually does everything in 1 take unless she's not happy with it & that's how it goes down for us to hear mot splice & tape & edit a whole lot a takes together to get the perfect sound plus auto tune. Angie is just Angie she tells a story using her voice & the music is just for sound ambience. Angie is music & gift from God with a God given voice & talent. You'll be even more shocked as your journey goes through her & her stages. So we'll see you down Angie's rabbit hole.
It's also amazing how well she takes criticism at six. She was told that she messed up a little, and she laughed and agreed. Then she came back and said, but only once. So professional at any age.
and a year later, she won her first competition. and in the next 6 years she churned out like 120 recorded performances. Lots of public performances at concerts, lots of covers of classic songs from various genres, a few originals... She is very prolific. She is versatile; no genre is off limit. well maybe opera. Quite a few of her covers are off the chart. Nobody covers superstar Adele, Lana del Rey, Rihanna like Angelina. What makes these covers even more special is they were done when Angelina was around 12. 12!!! This little girl is destined for greatness. I subscribed today. Thanks for a wonderful reaction and analysis and a little story. Thumbs up.
She started singing with 1,5 years. There's even a video snippet of it with her in some kind of baby crip holding a mic that's almost half as long as her body. She's known for almost flawless performances at first take. Funny you can see that trend at an age of 6 already, but its very typical Angelina. One of her musicians recently joked it can feel a bit like playing for dear life ;-)
Nice reaction! I also like to mention that her timing and dynamics are on the pro level and that's one of the parts that make Angelina sound older then she is. Thank you
Thank you so much for reflections on Angelina's performance! I really enjoy your deep musical insight!! Looking forward to follow your upcoming reactions!
FWIW, I disagree with the people who say she was 6 here and that it ws her first time in the studio. This is based on her overall appearance and behavior, what her voice sounds like, how well she sings, and what her teeth look like, compared to many other early videos we have of her. Hardly anyone else agrees with me, but what can ya do? [grin] (The conversation at the end makes it clear, this was a first take.)
This girl is already HUGE, but she will come to be the next 'Big Bang' in the world of song-artists like we never have seen before. Mark my words..... Great reaction maaan :-D
One thing you will discover going through some of her stuff in chronological order.... she just gets better and better with each new thing she takes on. It is great that you have gone back to this one. When I first made the list, it started with her NGT performances, but I thought this one was important to have at the beginning because, by going back this far, it makes it apparent that this kid was just born with something special. She did muddle the words a little in one part (which is what they are discussing at the end), but words aside... the singing ability she demonstrates here is just incredible. I'm excited to see you go into the NGT performances now :) BTW: I believe the guy mentions in the dialog at the end that it was her first take, but this was not the first time she was in a studio. This is a studio at her music school in Oslo. There are earlier videos of her in the studio doing covers of Adele and Christina A..... but this is the one where it all started coming together for her. This is the one that I thought would be a good jumping off point before getting into her really professional sounding stuff... at 7!
Kevin Neal I have seen most of her videos. Her voice, amazing vocal ability to reach deep into your heart. From early on she does her own arrangements, or has most of the input on them. Being her grandmother always played jazz at home she practically grew up on jazz. This song made most famous by Tom Jones is a difficult one and she did a beautiful job here.
Wow is the word blown away is the other words amazing awesome unbelievable genius I could go on with these words but at the end of it all we are talking about Angelina she's just heaven sent I don't think anyone can touch her she is simply the best. Great Reaction ❤️from Denise in England 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👼🏻👍XX
Yes, oh, c'mon... Listening to Angelina, you must also have a feeling... There is another way, unless someone is a dull brick... Thx man. She is just wonderful.
I think, vocally, she's NEVER been a kid. This performance one might be expecting fro a Shirley Bassey just having done a 007 movie sounftrack type of performing. Preternatural maturity.
Thanks for your second wonderful and attentive reaction with Angelina and thank you for continuing to discover her, Josh. Which is one of her first times in a recording studio and she was also reading the lyrics in English. In fact, these recordings of his first "public" moments which also include the songs at the NGT and some of his first shows up to 9/10 years, surprise you in a particular way for that fantastic combination, between the sweet little girl and the incredible one professional with a supernatural talent, who supports her when she starts singing. I loved those moments when the 6 year old girl goes out and shows happiness to be able to do what he thought was right, with a jump or a raised thumb ... but the joy and pleasure that shines through to test herself in something that she love very much is wonderful. I barely knew the alphabet in my language at six years old 😆🤩 ❤️
she started at around 2 or a little younger.. shes is so talented, you can hear her slow her singing at one pt as she waits for the beat,, its incredible
Thanks, SingerDad - my favorite I think will always be her nine-year-old performance of Jay Hawkins' "I put a Spell on you" - she was screaming and growling at that age - but since she got a couple of years older, you don't hear that anymore -- I understand that she was "coached" not to stress her voice in that manner at a young age - yet, I still miss that "rawness" - she is obviously an amazing talent!
Great reactions from you again. I listen to Angelina Jordan every day with her singing because she sings with her hearts and sings for you and she just happy to sing. See you soon.
A child prodigy? A musical genius? Yes, obviously, but look at what age she is already recording songs in a professional studio and being encouraged and supported by her grandmother, Mery, and her mother, Sara, and singing in competitions. It is extremely rare for a child to reach the top of his or her abilities and capabilities without any type of nurturing, training, uplifting, edifying and developing. Natural gifts are not enough when they do not find for their blossoming the living ground of thriving and prospering, which is love.
Hi There..I really do appreciate your professional approach to analysing Angelina..I'll be with you all the way through your journey..take care )) subscribed btw )). As for the chills..they never stop!
You just mentioned: it's "crazy" but so amazing and genially blown away and indeed looking in this early records will give understanding on how and what she gets in the different recent performances, together with the kind of person she is, her personality. Would be interesting to see you both, with your wife, for your next reaction! 😉
I saw in a comment to another reactionvideo (don't remember the details) somebody said Angelina told she is never nervous - when singing, she kind of enters a magical world. And also somebody told, when she was learning english in school, the word "nervous" came up. She did not understand the word, so the teacher translated it to norwegian. She still didn't understand.... Thanks for a great reactionvideo, i'm surely going to look more at your reactions. I'm from Norway, and insanely proud of that girl.
Josh, Bohemian Rhapsody was a MASTERPIECE and I'm glad you did it. But, now your journey has officially started! Have fun. Her voice, her styles will change from song to song. Sound like someone you know? :) I know, it's hard to process. Wait till she challenges Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and Dinah Washington at 7 and 8 years old.
It's so great to see your reaction because U not just anybody U know about this stuff and to see U react like this WOW she is Truly TRULY special man WOW 🙂 ✝️🙏🙋♂️
I hadn't heard anything previous to her Norway's Got Talent performances. This is not like listening to any six year old I've ever heard. Angelina is definitely an old soul trapped in a child's body. Thank you for a full and interesting reaction. New sub.
Never doubted you. Subscribed the first time you did an Angelina reaction of course. I will love to follow you through her portfolio. You will be amazed, time after time. Thank you for this great reaction, Josh 😊👍
There are two things I find stunning about her at this age and even more in the "Norway's Got Talent" performances, her remarkable ear for nuances in songs, particularly jazz, and her rich lower register. Enjoy the journey. There's so much remarkable stuff to come. When you get to age 12 and later you'll see she develops a stunning capacity to convey emotion. I can't imagine what she'll be in a decade but I hope to be here still to see and hear it.
Her grandmother was filming the video. Grandma said that Angelina was nervous and was afraid that she couldn’t hit the high notes. When she succeeds (of course), she smiles and jumps for joy. The second time she gives grandma the thumbs up. She’s so adorable.

She was Born to sing, she is so special.
Amazing singing this at 6 years old and her English is so good
She showed excitement at the fact that she hit that high note right and with perfect pitch.
Josh, I hope you had a pleasant Thanksgiving Day with your family! We don't see you much anymore but we can come back to these video's and watch your "stunning" reactions to Angelina. She's now 16 and will be 17 on Jan10th.
Just wanted to stop by and say hello and wish you would do another Angelina video so that some new fans can discover her and you!
she is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I could only listen to the voice of one human being for the rest of my life it would be Angelina's. And I would never regret my choice.
Look at her ease, so young and comfortable in front a big mike in a recording studio. I think she gives a thumbs up because she's mastering sliding from one night to another. She communicates with her engineer.
As you follow her. She is so talented and just blows everyone away with each song she sings. A legend already.
Thank you Rusty.for your labor of love.
enjoy the ride- it's worth it. I am 76 and star struck! j
It was the first take. She asked after recording: "Was it good?" "Yes it was very good for the first take."
Actually the guy with the switches said; "Yes, it was not bad for the first take" - can u believe it?:)

I'm permanent a fan of her. It's mind blowing for her age. She almost brought me to tears because I know such a story.

Most amazing thing to me is this 6 year old is reading english, a second or third language
We love you Angelina ❤❤❤
Reading the lyrics whilst singing, in her third language, at 6 years old, with incredble control. Just phenominal.
I think it's impressive that at 6 she can read and write at this level.
@@KnuYorker Well, that just requires IQ, really. And it's common for such profound artists to have high IQs, anyway, so that makes sense.

While going through her catalogue in chronological order shows you her progress in more detail, she will still disembowel you pretty much every time.

This was in her school's studio.
A little kid doing huge stuff for this classic song. Amazing!
Angelina is wonderful!
Effortless Angelina is an amazing artist, thank you for reacting to her, hope to hear more.
I just cant get enough of her and that voice. She has definitely won me over as permanent fan.
You mean she put a spell on you? Welcome to the club.
Angelina: Was it good?
Technician: It was great Angelina. For a first time.
Angelina: Laughs
Technician: No it was completely beautiful, actually.
Angelina: Laughs
Technician: There was a some mess-up in the middle part.
Angelina: Yes
Technician: You shuffled some of the words around.
Angelina: Laughs.
Technician: How did you feel it worked yourself?
Angelina: Wheeeel, it was ok... Only one sentence was...
Technician: Yes, there were some
(cuts off)
Thank you so much!!!! Amazing

Angelina, is just so talented that it is unbelievable.
I love watching reactors when they 'get it' about Angelina. Bewildered. Gobsmacked. Blown Away. All those. Enjoy your trip down the Angelina rabbit hole. It's nice down here :-)
And, you have lots of company down in Angelina-land!!!
As they say in the old country, "You ain't seen nothing yet!"
I hate to tell you, but Angelina will astound you almost every single time. besides her fabulous tone, insane breath control, poise under pressure and ability to musically convey emotion, her interpretations of the songs she covers are on a whole 'nother level.

Just to add some insight. As recorded she did sing at 18 months. At two through three she is scrolling through RUclips looking for Jazz artists.

So here you have a five year old speaking Norwegian,Persian and English playing piano. Going to school and after school taking voice and music lessons. Taking piano, violin and flute. Her parents are trying to slow her down but she will have none of it. She is the driving force in her development. She is beyond prodigy as she by seven was arranging learning music theory. She knew exactly what she wanted at age three. Her mother states she has always chosen her own songs that she wants to sing and the way she wants to sing them. At age three she told her Mother she wanted to sing for Simon Cowell. At five she tells her she wants to sing at the Noble Peace Prize Concert. At the same time she also stated she wanted to sing for the world and be a superstar.
She will give you the chills so many more times! "This is crazy" Hold on to your hat. Amazement, surprise, smiles, some tears, favorites, then new favorites. A remarkable singer, a remarkable human being. Let the ride begin in earnest. Great as you get to and through Norway's Got Talent, greater as you move toward the present as a 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 year old. Many/most fans agree the greatest is just on the horizon. Surprise gives way to anticipated amazement. She does not disappoint. Have fun!!
Angelina has a way of getting under your skin. She is just so talented that it is unbelievable.
Thank you ❣️. Ta mała, to prawdziwy diament 💎☄️. Pozdrawiam 🤗🇵🇱
Rusty mentioned that it wasn’t her first time in the school studio. The earlier videos are definitely worth watching just so you can see her improvement during that year. Hurt. And Rolling in the Deep. She sings with great enthusiasm and excitement. Lots of thumbs up to Grandma. But not so much craftsmanship going on. Just pure joy of doing what she loves. By the time the I Who Have recording happened she was paying more attention to her dynamics and vibrato. Just amazing for 6 years old.
She was amazing then, she is A M A Z I N G now
Josh, if you knew what I know now, after watching so much Angelina for 10 months, you will put priority to your Angelina reactions. Singers are divided in 2 groups: Angelina and then the rest of singers. You'll see. Consider doing "I put a spell on you" when she was 9 years old.... watch out with anything fragile below your jaw because it will eventually go down to the table.
Thank you a lot!
Thank you for this reaction to Angelina Jordan. She Asked the producer if was any good and the producer said Yes for being the first time. And then the producer said that she sang a little wrong in the middle and Angelina noticed that herself too. Thank you for this reaction.
Angelina said in an interview she is never nervous or afraid when performing for a big audience. Actually she feels at home when on a stage. She simply loves to perform.
She has done numerous live concerts and never ever performed below expectations. Those expectations are super high now.
Her videos are done in one take. She might have rehearsed a bit, but when the recorder is turned on she always performs so well.
Another very impressive side of Angelina is that she makes very hard performances look so easy. It's like it's coming so natural to her without having to really push to nail the performance.
Angelina also never falls for the temptation to show off with her vocal ability in her performances. She wants to convey emotions to us based on what the song really needs. There are a few songs she has done where she shows her big vocal range, very good breath control and power in her voice.
She is also an expert in making her performances her own while still being respectful to the original. Quite a few of her performances are considered even better than the original.
To top it off she has even made some songs herself which are very good. So you really have a lot of enjoyment to look forward to reacting Angelina performances.
@@9Ballr Oops. Fixed.
Every time I see & hear Angelina I’m amazed by her singing. Your reaction was great 👍.
And she only gets better with age!!! 💗🎵💗
It is really amazing to watch Angelina's progress from this point through the NGT performances. She goes from an amazing 6 year old to a seasoned professional in two year's time. This was her first take, btw, and I think the first time in a studio period. Good breath control, the starting of vibratto..... 6 year old reading English which is her THIRD language. I am subscribed to your channel, along with over 200 others, lol. The list gets ridiculous after a while. But I'm an Angelinaholic, so,,,,, I enjoy your reaction, and look forward to your next one.
Steven Derby I'm one of those too.)) listen to her every day ..😁
Angelinaholic works :-) But it is a 'holic' I don't need to give up.
We are many, aren't we?
i love this girl saluti da roma
Angelina the sponge. This was recorded by her grandmother who gave her the influence of classic jazz from infancy. The studio work was part of her training at the music academie. Not only is she fluent in English, but because her grandmother is from Iran she speaks Farsi, grandfather Japanese so she speaks some Japanese. She plays piano, guitar, flute, and violin. Studies dance and is guided in painting by her accomplished artist grandmother. A Gift Divine.
Also, Angelina's mother Sara and her uncle Michael were both raised in Japan and are fluent in Japanese. According to Michael they often chat in Japanese when the hang out.
She also speaks Swedish. Her father is Swedish. The Norwegian language is very close to the Swedish language and most people in both countries can easily communicate with each other
Kool to know.
Great reaction! If your wife is a voice teacher and have taught kids, maybe next time have her react to Angelina with you? I'd introduce her to the wonderful world of Angelina thru the NGT performance of "Summertime" ( the song she won the final with), her performance was simply stunning... That song is also good to listen to if you want to gauge her singing voice as she has grown older, because she has performed it on camera several times thru the years.
I played the Bohemian Rhapsody performance for her and she liked it but she’s not into the reaction thing, unfortunately. Thanks for watching.
Awesome reaction! Liked the intro with the lyrics, and your personal story at the end :) Cant wait to watch as you continue to discover how crazy talented this young prodigy is. Take care and see you in the next one, soon I hope!
I think it would have been appropriate to also mention the people who wrote the lyrics at this point. Not just present it as "a Tom Jones song", since it's actually an Italian song _"Uno Dei Tanti" (composed by the Italian pianist Carlo Donida)_ with the English adaptation of the lyrics written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, who among other hit songs wrote "Jailhouse Rock" & "King Creole" for Elvis Presley and got induced to the *_Songwriters Hall Of Fame_* in 1985.
Thanks for the info, and that adds to out understand of the many facets to Angelona's world.
Angelina is such a fascinating talent,obviously gifted,but also so passionate and engaged always.Her family and others have chronicled her development from day 1.There is even a video of her singing Whitney at only 18 months old.
Just a little girl who loves to sing showing what we will have in store for us in the future. This is a God given talent, the only explanation I have. I am so looking forward to more of your reactions Josh. Thank you so much for your time. Thumbs up, this is why I subscribed.
Give her family credit. They supported her from the start. Not pushing. Maybe she was dragging them along due to her fierce desires
@@joemoe1219 Her family's support goes without saying.
If you turn on the CC at the beginning the engineer makes a comment that she sang pretty well for the first time thru. We need to also realize that she is reading and singing in English which is not her native language at age six, I myself would have had problems reading almost anything at that age other then a "Dick and Jane reader books". That shows my age as most of you have never heard of Dick and Jane readers. Love your reactions.
You have a new subscriber. Angelina asked the sound engineer if it was good. He answered that it was very good to be the first time. She messed up a bit with the text, but otherwise she was happy. The recording was made at Oslo Music and Culture School, which Anglina attended.
Since 6 yrs old she arranges the songs her way too
Hi Josh. Thanks for a great raw reaction. She recorded this at her school at their sound booth.
As @Niles R Grotnes put down on their conversation. Angie usually does everything in 1 take unless she's not happy with it & that's how it goes down for us to hear mot splice & tape & edit a whole lot a takes together to get the perfect sound plus auto tune. Angie is just Angie she tells a story using her voice & the music is just for sound ambience. Angie is music & gift from God with a God given voice & talent. You'll be even more shocked as your journey goes through her & her stages. So we'll see you down Angie's rabbit hole.
You've committed to Angelina so i've committed to your channel
It's also amazing how well she takes criticism at six. She was told that she messed up a little, and she laughed and agreed. Then she came back and said, but only once. So professional at any age.
Loved this, I like your calmness 🙂. I’am addicted to this angel.
and a year later, she won her first competition. and in the next 6 years she churned out like 120 recorded performances. Lots of public performances at concerts, lots of covers of classic songs from various genres, a few originals... She is very prolific. She is versatile; no genre is off limit. well maybe opera. Quite a few of her covers are off the chart. Nobody covers superstar Adele, Lana del Rey, Rihanna like Angelina. What makes these covers even more special is they were done when Angelina was around 12. 12!!! This little girl is destined for greatness.
I subscribed today. Thanks for a wonderful reaction and analysis and a little story. Thumbs up.
She started singing with 1,5 years. There's even a video snippet of it with her in some kind of baby crip holding a mic that's almost half as long as her body.
She's known for almost flawless performances at first take. Funny you can see that trend at an age of 6 already, but its very typical Angelina. One of her musicians recently joked it can feel a bit like playing for dear life ;-)
The musicians don't refer to her as "the boss" for no reason 😁
Nice reaction! I also like to mention that her timing and dynamics are on the pro level and that's one of the parts that make Angelina sound older then she is.
Thank you
Thank you so much for reflections on Angelina's performance! I really enjoy your deep musical insight!! Looking forward to follow your upcoming reactions!
FWIW, I disagree with the people who say she was 6 here and that it ws her first time in the studio. This is based on her overall appearance and behavior, what her voice sounds like, how well she sings, and what her teeth look like, compared to many other early videos we have of her. Hardly anyone else agrees with me, but what can ya do? [grin]
(The conversation at the end makes it clear, this was a first take.)
This girl is already HUGE, but she will come to be the next 'Big Bang' in the world of song-artists like we never have seen before. Mark my words..... Great reaction maaan :-D
I’m getting the chills listening to this child! ❤
One thing you will discover going through some of her stuff in chronological order.... she just gets better and better with each new thing she takes on. It is great that you have gone back to this one. When I first made the list, it started with her NGT performances, but I thought this one was important to have at the beginning because, by going back this far, it makes it apparent that this kid was just born with something special. She did muddle the words a little in one part (which is what they are discussing at the end), but words aside... the singing ability she demonstrates here is just incredible. I'm excited to see you go into the NGT performances now :)
BTW: I believe the guy mentions in the dialog at the end that it was her first take, but this was not the first time she was in a studio. This is a studio at her music school in Oslo. There are earlier videos of her in the studio doing covers of Adele and Christina A..... but this is the one where it all started coming together for her. This is the one that I thought would be a good jumping off point before getting into her really professional sounding stuff... at 7!
You got a call-out, buddy :)
Rusty: they need to get that age thing correct. 2012, she is 6. 2013 she at 7 entered Norway’s Got Talent. She won it in 2014 at age 8.

I have seen most of her videos. Her voice, amazing vocal ability to reach deep into your heart. From early on she does her own arrangements, or has most of the input on them. Being her grandmother always played jazz at home she practically grew up on jazz. This song made most famous by Tom Jones is a difficult one and she did a beautiful job here.
Wow is the word blown away is the other words amazing awesome unbelievable genius I could go on with these words but at the end of it all we are talking about Angelina she's just heaven sent I don't think anyone can touch her she is simply the best. Great Reaction ❤️from Denise in England 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👼🏻👍XX
Yes, oh, c'mon... Listening to Angelina, you must also have a feeling... There is another way, unless someone is a dull brick... Thx man. She is just wonderful.
She is uniquely talented, beautiful old soul, a truly amazing good person!
Thanks for your genuine reaction! It would be cool if you wanted to react to her "I put a spell on you" video :)
I think, vocally, she's NEVER been a kid. This performance one might be expecting fro a Shirley Bassey just having done a 007 movie sounftrack type of performing. Preternatural maturity.
Thanks for your second wonderful and attentive reaction with Angelina and thank you for continuing to discover her, Josh. Which is one of her first times in a recording studio and she was also reading the lyrics in English. In fact, these recordings of his first "public" moments which also include the songs at the NGT and some of his first shows up to 9/10 years, surprise you in a particular way for that fantastic combination, between the sweet little girl and the incredible one professional with a supernatural talent, who supports her when she starts singing. I loved those moments when the 6 year old girl goes out and shows happiness to be able to do what he thought was right, with a jump or a raised thumb ... but the joy and pleasure that shines through to test herself in something that she love very much is wonderful. I barely knew the alphabet in my language at six years old 😆🤩 ❤️
Она потрясающая👍👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹👏👏👏👏🎧🎧🎧
she started at around 2 or a little younger.. shes is so talented, you can hear her slow her singing at one pt as she waits for the beat,, its incredible
Good for you, Rusty!
Awsome
Thanks Great reaction
Subscribed because of Angelina and your reaction.👍🏼💕
Thanks, SingerDad - my favorite I think will always be her nine-year-old performance of Jay Hawkins' "I put a Spell on you" - she was screaming and growling at that age - but since she got a couple of years older, you don't hear that anymore -- I understand that she was "coached" not to stress her voice in that manner at a young age - yet, I still miss that "rawness" - she is obviously an amazing talent!
Great reactions from you again. I listen to Angelina Jordan every day with her singing because she sings with her hearts and sings for you and she just happy to sing. See you soon.
A child prodigy? A musical genius? Yes, obviously, but look at what age she is already recording songs in a professional studio and being encouraged and supported by her grandmother, Mery, and her mother, Sara, and singing in competitions.
It is extremely rare for a child to reach the top of his or her abilities and capabilities without any type of nurturing, training, uplifting, edifying and developing.
Natural gifts are not enough when they do not find for their blossoming the living ground of thriving and prospering, which is love.
Thank you so much! Looking forward for many another reactions of Anjelina's performances. 🤩💖
Get used to that 'blown away' feeling; you're gonna feel it a lot :)
Aren't we all?
Hi There..I really do appreciate your professional approach to analysing Angelina..I'll be with you all the way through your journey..take care )) subscribed btw )). As for the chills..they never stop!
More Angelina please!
You just mentioned: it's "crazy" but so amazing and genially blown away and indeed looking in this early records will give understanding on how and what she gets in the different recent performances, together with the kind of person she is, her personality.
Would be interesting to see you both, with your wife, for your next reaction! 😉
I played the Bohemian Rhapsody performance for her and she liked it but she’s not into the reaction thing, unfortunately. Thanks for watching.
I saw in a comment to another reactionvideo (don't remember the details) somebody said Angelina told she is never nervous - when singing, she kind of enters a magical world. And also somebody told, when she was learning english in school, the word "nervous" came up. She did not understand the word, so the teacher translated it to norwegian. She still didn't understand.... Thanks for a great reactionvideo, i'm surely going to look more at your reactions. I'm from Norway, and insanely proud of that girl.
Josh, Bohemian Rhapsody was a MASTERPIECE and I'm glad you did it. But, now your journey has officially started! Have fun. Her voice, her styles will change from song to song. Sound like someone you know? :) I know, it's hard to process. Wait till she challenges Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and Dinah Washington at 7 and 8 years old.
Ждем еще реакции на Анджелину!!!
Can't wait for your reaction to some of Angelina's other stuff - Like all her Norway's got talent at 7 and 8 - just unbelievable and phenomenal....
It's so great to see your reaction because U not just anybody U know about this stuff and to see U react like this WOW she is Truly TRULY special man WOW 🙂 ✝️🙏🙋♂️
I hadn't heard anything previous to her Norway's Got Talent performances. This is not like listening to any six year old I've ever heard. Angelina is definitely an old soul trapped in a child's body. Thank you for a full and interesting reaction. New sub.
I love her performances with live musical backup.
Never doubted you. Subscribed the first time you did an Angelina reaction of course. I will love to follow you through her portfolio. You will be amazed, time after time. Thank you for this great reaction, Josh 😊👍
There are two things I find stunning about her at this age and even more in the "Norway's Got Talent" performances, her remarkable ear for nuances in songs, particularly jazz, and her rich lower register.
Enjoy the journey. There's so much remarkable stuff to come. When you get to age 12 and later you'll see she develops a stunning capacity to convey emotion. I can't imagine what she'll be in a decade but I hope to be here still to see and hear it.
🤯 i love her, bit i has misses this version. She sings Witney Houston's version of I have nothing as well, and it is transfixing.
I LOVE THIS GIRL!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
