Angelina is truly a prodigy and will be a huge star (if not already). She won Norway's Got Talent at age 7, she's now 13 and recently appeared on AGT show of champions...her singing style is mostly jazzy genre. I like listening to upcoming young stars...there's another one that you should react to...Angelica Hale, who appeared on AGT twice (@ 9 and 11) and won golden buzzer both times. She recently did a cover of Demi Lovato's "Stone Cold" @ 12 years old...would love to hear your reaction to that as well. BT, her RUclips channel has over 2 MILLION subscribers with over 200 videos. Thanks for you very informative reactions...keep up the good work !!
My favorite of her styles is when she sings blues. I love the genre, always have. When I hear AJ sing blues I get so nostalgic about all the great singers and I realize she is channeling them all! Her voice is a magical key that unlocks so much in my heart, mind & soul.
Quincy Jones said Angelina was the best young singer since he first heard Michael Jackson, and invited her to sing at his 85th birthday (huge) celebration at the O2 Arena in London 2018 (she was 12 then). Here is a video that combines that sound track with footage of a rehearsal for it: ruclips.net/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/видео.html. PS; don't think for a minute that by listening to a couple songs you have come close to hearing her "style", that you know how she sings; you won't fully understanding those thing until you have 30-40 of her songs under your belt.. She has 130 songs on RUclips that go back to before she won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8.
ek 1707 not at all doubting this statement but there any evidence of Quincy Jones saying this? I was slated by trolls last night when I mentioned this who asked for evidence..just wondering? I did send them the links to her Quincy Jones performance and practice sessions but that wasn't enough lo..cheers and take care...
@@kevingood4644 this is in Angelina's own words from her FB account: Dear Quincy Jones, it was my pleasure to work with you, you told me great things and it was a very emotional moment for me and for you, when you told me that I remind you of younger days of MJ. I will carry this memory forever. Your words gave me more confidence and I will be stronger now as an artist and as human being 🙌🏼 I also want to thank my people for making this possible also your people. See you soon and much Love ❤️ June29,2018.
Every time I hear Angelina sing, I picture her stepping out of an old black & white movie, to transport us back in time, so we can fall in love with these genuine masterpieces again ❤️ 💚 💙 💜 Great reaction!!! A little backstory, for some of your subscribers who may not know......Angelina's Grandmother loved Blues & Jazz music, & they used to listen to it all the time, & Angelina felt an immediate connection, so her younger style tipped the scale closer to Jazz, and as she ages, she has developed many other styles of music, including her own, & now can sing almost anything!!! She also sews most of her outfits, does all her own musical arrangements, & goes barefoot, because she met a young girl when performing one day, who had no shoes & could not afford to buy any, so Angelina gave her the shoes she had on, & in memory of the girl, & poverty issues, she continues to goes barefoot! What can I say, except this young girl, is an inspiration, an amazing talent, has a huge compassionate heart, & the world is a much nicer place to be, with her in it !!!
THEY ARE ALL GOOD! You are going to be AMAZED the more you here from her. She’s done 130 covers and several originals, ALL worth your time. If you get a comment from Rusty Shackleford, follow his advice and links!
Angelina is a special young lady with God given talent. She happens to be my favorite singer and is very impressive with many genres. So, something for everybody, I like all her covers, I just love Angelina. You have impressed me also, I will be subscribing hope you will do more of Angelina. Thumbs up SpydaMike.
Believe me, everyone was waiting to see you get totally blown away! We all knew this was coming! There is no way anyone could anticipate what they were about to hear! - Absolutely the best performance by any child ever on any song! - Period. Actually, I seriously doubt if any adult can match it. Angelina tried it when she was older, but it wasn't as good as this one. If She can't do it, no one can
Thanks for your reaction. She won Norwegian talents at the age of 8, and is predicted to become the next superstar! She is also known for being able to adjust the voice to which genre she sings. She has approx. 130 covers on RUclips + 3 originals. Angelina Jordan - Date of birth: January 10, 2006 (age 14 years), Born and raised in Oslo, Norway; this world-renowned singer has earned fantastic reviews for the amazing breadth, depth and maturity of her vocal talent that simply belies her young age. Something you might have noticed is that Angelina always performs barefoot!!! When Angelina was 6 years old, she met a homeless girl around her age when she was traveling in the Middle East. The girl did not have any shoes, and Angelina says her feet were scarred. Angelina gave the girl her own shoes. Angelina then “vowed never to appear on stage again wearing shoes until all the world’s children had them.” She keeps that promise to this day, as she says that little girl “is always in my heart.” - Angelina said she asked the little girl what her dream was, and the girl responded that she wanted to be a doctor. Angelina told her to “never give up.” In return, the girl told Angelina she would pray for her, and asked her to “remember me.” She might as well sing in a bad cellphone microphone, without a microphone, or to collaborate with professional musicians. She does not need any autotune or digital aids to sing. It is real song in an otherwise polished world. She just sings because it's her passion. Angelina’s videos have received over "over 600 Million views on youtube & over 2 Billion views on Facebook."
Amazingly, her passion for music began at just one-and- a-half years of age when Angelina first saw Whitney Houston on RUclips performing I Will Always Love You. Whitney - and later Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington - became her first major musical influences.
At the age of seven, Angelina auditioned for Norway’s Got Talent performing Billie Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday. She won the competition with the show drawing record TV audiences. Not surprisingly, throughout her rising career, Angelina has featured in prominent media outlets including TIME, CNN, BBC, and People while also performing on the U.S. network TV shows Little Big Shots and The View.
In 2016, Avicii chose Angelina for the vocals on his worldwide Volvo commercial campaign, a brilliant cover of Nina Simone’s Feeling Good. As well as singing before Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, charitable causes to which Angelina has given her talent include the Rainforest Alliance at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and Ein Herz für Kinder in Berlin where she helped raise over 21 Million Euros for children and families in need. Everyone in the music industry knows who she is, but the family and herself want her to grow up as normal as possible. Among other things, they said no to Disney! This multi-talented singing prodigy has also written a successful, illustrated children’s book in her native Norway making Angelina the youngest published author in the country’s history. Today she is 14 years old and has over 126 covers and 3 originals on RUclips. She has already managed to collaborate with the biggest in the music industry, and is considered to be a future megarstar.The family and herself want to take it easy in the musical development because of her young age. NOTE! Angelina is independent and owns the rights herself. Angelina Jordan INC. She and her family take it easy because of her young age. Angelina wants total ownership over her creativity, without compromise. She / family said no to Disney, among other things. She attends some major foundrising concerts. Rumor has it that she is coming up with her own album this year. Why didn't Angelina Jordan win AGT champions? It's because she refused to sign with "Fremantle" when it came to ownership of the version of the performance of the songs.They told her she wasn't gonna win if she didn't. Well. She didn't win. and how to determine the best talent of a singer, magician or dance group, but I think they were aware of this, but still wanted her to attend to bring as many viewers as possible. Then there was no way she could win. The entire acclaimed music industry knows who she is, and she was invited to sing for Quincy Jones during his 85th birthday at O2 Arena London ruclips.net/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/видео.html . She has also collaborated with David Foster, Gene Simmons, Alan Walker. In addition to singing at the Nobel Prize concert 8 year old. This is just something from her résumé at 14 years old and the list is much longer. Note! She is also Norway's youngest author with published book 9 years old! 10 Years old her !!! She can actually sing all genres, try this: ruclips.net/video/SC3F0bKKk3U/видео.html - TRXD - Above The Water (Lyrics) ft. Angelina Jordan It's electronic dance music, and she was wanted as a guest vocal on their record. The only thing I have not heard her sing is opera and rap.
Super great reaction, Journey on With Angelina for amazement, chills, tears, and so much more. She loves jazz and many others genres, but jazz is her favorite. Looking forward to more reaction of Angelina Jordan. Thanks. : )
If you love blues an jazz you are on for a treat with the new Queen of jazz, blues an Soul. Music! Take the journey with her reacting to her performances from 7 years old until now at 14. She has fantastic vocals and musical intelligence. You should react to her version of Its a mans world, the jazz/blues version with a fantastic guitar solo at the end of the song. I think she was 12 years old here, but she is a powerhouse!
You are exactly right about her ability to read the emotional heart of a song even when she might not have had the experiences associated with those emotions. You could go all the way to her recent remake of Bohemian Rhapsody at 13, or many songs in between. You might like her covers of Sam Smith's I Know I'm Not the Only One, or Rhianna's Stay. Her Adele covers are amazing.
1. An important thing to remember about AJ is that she owns the rights to everything she sings and with aquired permissions for covers of other singers. 2. She refused to sign for a record deal through AGT and they relented and invited her to sing anyway. 3. She began singing at 18 months and due to her grandmothers influence, she was drawn to and fell in love with jazz and blues music. 4. She has been arranging most, if not all of her music performances since she was 8 years old. 5. Currently in 2022 she still performs barefoot, sews her own clothes, (the cloth is designed by her grandmother) and she stands 6 feet tall at 15 yeats old! 6. We all hope to enjoy her performances for many years to come. 7. BTW I'm 80 and have been involved privately in music since age 7.
Mike - Shout out to you from a fellow St. Louisan! Thank you for your outstanding reaction to this Angelina Jordan performance. It is obvious that you are a professional who understands the technical and artistic aspects of vocal music. After 40+ years as a music educator and jazz musician, I would say to all young singers out there: Don’t try to sing like Angelina until you know how to do it, especially when she belts out in the high register. Take voice lessons and learn everything you can about vocal technique and artistic styling. If you try to do what she does before you know what you are doing, you could severely damage your voice and may never be able to sing again. Angelina has a gift that very few people in history have ever had. All of her physical vocal abilities and sense of musical style came with her at birth and because her family played music all the time as she was growing up. She is a force of nature. You young singers can aspire to sing like her, but don’t push it. We would like to see and hear you on RUclips someday! Mike, you have about 135 of Angelina's RUclips videos to choose from for your reactions. I guarantee that the more reactions you do to her, your subscriptions and likes will go through the roof! Great job, man!
Your spot on with her music intelligence and maturity, her ability to convey emotions is almost unparalleled. She is 14 today, and all of her performances at AGT 2020 The Champions will show you how this prodigy has developed since this masterpiece at age 9. One of my favourites on the emotional side is Wicked Game ruclips.net/video/5IAMF4FDfw4/видео.html
Hi St-Louis,MO. She’s 9 on this track, Angelina has an old soul, here some songs from her ( Summertime, What’s a difference day makes, Fly me to the moon, lot of covers that she makes (120+) and make them to her style, she made a cover of Baby FUzz named (I’m still holding out for you) an OLD OLD VIBE song, you like blues ! you will be well served, enjoy, take care of you and you have a great day.
Barry Ellis the only thing I was thinking, is that he was a superstar and Angelina will be one. They have different qualities but both mesmerizing their audiences in different ways
She's got you now. Your going to be one of Angelina's angels! If you like blues you'll LOVE Angelina, but you'll get these comments and list from me now. [BTW EVERYTHING she does is Good!! So you won't be disappointed. I promise! Pick any song of hers that you'd like to hear. We all love to watch as Angelina finds another "angel" to follow her. If you felt her in that song you are meant now to find more from her to feel. No one can relate the song to you as she can. Hope to see more of her from you soon. Thanks for the reaction. [she's so good!] Welcome to Angelina's angels from one who is hopelessly addicted. This is what I will share: Angelina has just turned 9 here. When she did AGT [you'll be listening to soon I'm sure] she was 13. [just turned 14 in January] and she is already over 6 feet tall! Angelina sees the art of song. She relates what she sees so clearly. She truly loves music. Songs are wonderful expressions of art. And there is a way to see that, hear that, and she shows us that. An interesting anecdote: ; Many try to explain AJ's talent and most use words like out of this world, re-incarnated, old soul, alien, and so forth. I think all are trying to say the same thing. [when you hear more from her, you'll see even more why they say these things] Here's what she has to say: At twelve in an interview when asked the first question "when I see you on stage I wonder who do you feel that you become?" [fishing for a particular artist, I'm sure] Her answer was: "When I sing I go to another world. It’s ...in the world it’s like an endless. It's amazing. It's like full of happiness. And I love ...It's amazing." [her exact words] She brings that world to us, just for a time when she sings. Whatever you believe that place she goes to may be. Of over 130 songs pick any you'd like to hear from that list -you can't go wrong. Here's some links to do that: Here are the official channels of her and the most known fan club: Angelina Jordan Official - ruclips.net/channel/UC1Pwa4nFvIPbtYVLcBGDpjA Angelina Jordan CoverChannel - ruclips.net/channel/UCv-QOBc_N1xb8dTwqazD9Kg Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz - ruclips.net/channel/UChM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPig ...and her website: www.angelinajordanofficial.com/ My short list: You just heard her [Blow You Away at her talent at such an early age of 9] doing this: "I Put a Spell on You"(9): ruclips.net/video/nwFloCPXzCs/видео.html. [This is a fantastic all out interpretation of a song by the artist "Screamin Jay Hawkins" she pays tribute to by holding a candle with his picture on it at the beginning] You will see in the beginning she has written her "suggestions" to the director for the band. [she is arranging the song herself at age 9!] She has requested the changes to be made so sweetly the director smiles. [she wrote it was her "wish" if he could make those changes] He did. And we end up with Angelina's vision and interpretation for us to marvel at. If you want to see her grow from even earlier I really suggest to go to her studio recording at age 6!! of "I who have nothing". Angelina Jordan - I Who Have Nothing - Complete performance [6 yrs old] ruclips.net/video/nwFloCPXzCs/видео.html&feature=youtu.be Then if you like, you may want to see her journey through to her win on Norway's Got Talent: [Bang Bang is my favorite] age 7 - Norway's Got Talent - First Audition: Gloomy Sunday: ruclips.net/video/8q7MqdFoibI/видео.html age 7 - Norway’s Got Talent - Judges' Cut-Off:I’m a fool to want you ruclips.net/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/видео.html age 7 - Norway's Got Talent - Semi Final: Bang Bang: ruclips.net/video/cSEO3IMVtCI/видео.html age 8 - Norway's Got Talent - Final: Summertime: ruclips.net/video/443pBSpx5B4/видео.html Now, to appreciate her different abilities : "A Million Years Ago"(12): ruclips.net/video/QHLtZQ3sIwE/видео.html and Stay [at 12]: Angelina Jordan - Stay: ruclips.net/video/_GSVPvCy3Yg/видео.html and finally to see her ability to belt if she wants to: Angelina Jordan - I Have Nothing (Whitney Houston Tribute) - Age 13 ruclips.net/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/видео.html [she was partly testing her strength I think] And before we get to Bohemian Rhapsody and Yellow brick road listen to her own lyrics in: Angelina Jordan "Back to Black" Cover, with KORK, improvised lyric. ruclips.net/video/LbXUKzOxACU/видео.html [here she re-wrote the lyrics to not be so dark in the limo ride on the way to the studio. Contrary to popular belief it is not just a few lines she re-wrote, she made at least some small change in every line of the song to make it less dark and more 10 year old appropriate and to tie that together. She got out of the car, walked into the studio took her shoes off and did it in one take. [I've heard] [others will tell you the shoe story] [shows real talent] Wicked game is another to show her talent [She is wicked good with this one LOL]: Angelina Jordan playing piano (Wicked Game) 2018 ruclips.net/video/lnCbca9ZUB8/видео.html And finally "I'm Still Holding Out for You" ruclips.net/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/видео.html -This is a demo that Angelina recorded when she was around 10/11, that was "leaked" when she was 12. Angelina was not pleased that it was leaked, because the lyrics at the end implied suicide. She said she would never perform this song again. Mature decision on her part. But this performance is really good! [the author - Baby Fuzz - didn't want to or wouldn't allow his lyrics changed so an outstanding performance by Angelina will not be repeated and only the "leaked" version will ever be heard] [I can't help but wonder if given the chance how she would change the lyrics, but she would have done the song a big favor if allowed] And finally [what for many has started it all] [the appreciation and "finding" of Angelina] her performances on AGT: Angelina Jordan - Bohemian Rhapsody - America's Got Talent: The Champions One - January 6, 2020 ruclips.net/video/HjsM3puKPrs/видео.html and her second; She is flawless here. Superb. This is fascinating: her performance in the finals of AGT-C where she covers Sara Bareilles' version of Elton John's iconic song Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. ruclips.net/video/HjsM3puKPrs/видео.html Another thing, her full name is Angelina Jordan Astar. Jorden means Earth in Swedish/Norwegian so her name interpreted is Angelina Earth Star. When you watch more of her you will understand better why I say, Enjoy the journey! It really does seem we truly are meant to.
Brilliant observation and comparison to MJ, as they are the best examples of musical and emotional intelligence beyond their years probably anyone can think of in singers. As for Angelina Jordan, she clearly understood songs on a wide emotional spectrum long before she could have the life experience to draw on. It is not fake, but some kind of wisdom on tap from a source not available to most of us.
When she was 6 years old on holiday she and her family met a poor girl about the same age as Angelina working as a street vendor, she had scars on her feet so Angelina gave the girl her own shoes and promised to never perform with shoes again until all children in the world can afford to have shoes. She performed outdoors in Norway in December for the Nobel prize winners without shoes in 2014
👍😊❤️❤️❤️ , ❤️ your reaction 👍😊 , Welcome to Angelinas world 😊❤️ , She started singing at 1,5 and won Norwegian talent when she was 8, she have 120+ coversongs and some originals 😊, next Angelina singing Bohemian Rhapsody in AGT Champions 2020 ? It will blow your mind out 😊, she makes all the cover songs hers 😊
Hi Mike, every time it's a pleasure to watch people reacting to Angelina Jordan - especially the first time - and I hope to see more of your reactions on Angelina Jordan - but I'm sure I will ;-) because: Now it's too late!... From now on you are assimilated in Angelinas entourage! Resistance is futil... Even if you won't believe it and if you are in denial about it: Only listen to one song sung by Angelina Jordan and you are hocked on listening her voice! May be you aren't aware of it yet... a legend says in rare cases there are humans who can resist.... but I can't believe it ;-) And if you wonder what video of Angelina Jordan should be the next to react to... ;-) ... You have a big pile of over 130 videos on youtube with Angelina Jordans rehearsals, covers and originals. She is born 10th Januar 2006, sung her first notes of a Whitney Houston song with 18 months (link see down), started researching the internet for Jazz 3 yo, entered Norske Talenter (Norwegian Got Talent) 7 yo and won it 8 yo, published a book 9yo, was on AGT The Champions (recorded Oct. 2019, aired Jan. 2020) where she didn't won - some rumours say because she/her mother didn't sign the contract with the enterprise of Simon Cowell for to stay independed. First of all here are the official channels of her and the most known fan club: Angelina Jordan Official - ruclips.net/channel/UC1Pwa4nFvIPbtYVLcBGDpjA Angelina Jordan CoverChannel - ruclips.net/channel/UCv-QOBc_N1xb8dTwqazD9Kg Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz - ruclips.net/channel/UChM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPig ...and her website: www.angelinajordanofficial.com/ Some links from the big pile: Here the short doku with her singing at 1,5yo (see her singing at this age at 1:52-2:10): ruclips.net/video/VJjG68Dfr-8/видео.html) Her first "visit" to a recording studio at 6yo: "I who have nothing": ruclips.net/video/RjQZKBpVaes/видео.html ... here are some links to the clips of NGT: First Audition: "Gloomy Sunday": ruclips.net/video/d3gSho9yf88/видео.html Judges' Cut-Off: "I’m a fool to want you" ruclips.net/video/LXknLZDoRVQ/видео.html Semi Final: "Bang Bang": ruclips.net/video/cSEO3IMVtCI/видео.html Final: "Summertime": ruclips.net/video/443pBSpx5B4/видео.html (for some there are videos in a higher quality but without subtitles ;-) ) ... here her "mini concert" from AGT at age 13 when it was recorded (Watch out: With these videos other reactors have the most problems with copyright claims...): "Bohemian Rhapsody": ruclips.net/video/7gQljxeaNuM/видео.html (the one you reacted to but with some additional info before the video starts) "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road": ruclips.net/video/NVRWYEk8T3A/видео.html “Someone You Loved": ruclips.net/video/0go_TIm4jtI/видео.html ...her originals (1-3) and songs especialy wrote for her (4+5): 1. "Shield": ruclips.net/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/видео.html - 2. "Oslo": ruclips.net/video/R2HkKh_Cp8I/видео.html 3. "What Is Life": ruclips.net/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/видео.html - 4. "Song for A": ruclips.net/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/видео.html - there is a discussion if "A" stands for Angelina, Annie (the woman in the lyrics) or both of them ;-) 5. "Above the water": ruclips.net/video/SC3F0bKKk3U/видео.html - interesting voice - even if this is not my prefered genre ;-) And here is a video where it is explained (with english subtitles) why she performs barefoot: ruclips.net/video/A-OKLslO74Y/видео.html All the other things like more recommendation, chronological playlists and so on you can read in the comments of the megafans like Fernando F., Rusty ... And a little Question: As you reacted to her cover "I put a spell on you" b/w studio version at 9yo (ruclips.net/video/nwFloCPXzCs/видео.html - btw. she made most of her cover arrangements by herself!) it would be interesting for you to watch the original from Screemin' Jay Hawkins (from 1956 - ruclips.net/video/7kGPhpvqtOc/видео.html) that's real fun - and than you will find out that Angelinas cover is a real tribute to Jay Hawkins :-D Thanks a billion for your nice reaction and comments! ...and see you soon with your next AJ reactions - with greetings from Berlin/Germany :-D Best regards Andreas
Nice song .She sings in great sensation with beautiful voice . please react to this great song ( winter rains ) by Demis Roussos who dominated the love songs in the seventies with his golden voice .
Hi neighbor (St Chas here) Another spell was cast! You just met 9 yo Angelina. Welcome to “The World Of Angelina Jordan Astar” (full name). “The Barefoot Singer With The Velvet Voice And A Mona Lisa Smile”. From her audition on Norway’s Got Talent (2014 - age 7- Gloomy Sunday "Billy Holiday") through the finale’ on America’s Got Talent The Champions (2020 - age 13 - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road "Sir Elton John") and the 130+ videos in between you will not be disappointed. My personal favorite is her cover of Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die". Let’s analyze the video: 1st you see how small and cute she is. 2nd you see she is barefoot (story below) 3rd You see her making her “list of suggested changes” to the song. 4th the band leader taking note of the changes. 5th Angelina is holding a candle with “Screemin’ Jay Hawkin’s (original artist 1956) picture on it. 6th the old soul in her voice. She is the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina wrote and her Grandmother illustrated a book about why she sings barefoot. She was on a trip to Iran where her grandmother is from and met a street girl weighing people for money. Angelina sat and talk with the girl. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, a Doctor but that it could never happen. Angelina told her to never give up hope. The girl complimented Angelina on her shoes and Angelina noticed her scarred bare feet so she gave them to her, and the little girl told Angelina she would pray for her every day. Angelina sings barefoot to this day to remind the world that there are still children in need. All proceeds go to charity. She is just as beautiful on the inside as the out!
Angelina is as well a composer, (the sheet she adjusted a note or to and gave the musician) as you "go into Angelina's World you can see where she does the song for her. As in beginning of the video she shows respect to man (the candle she was expressing) who originally done this tune... Screaming Jay Hawkins. Mr. Hawkins ... ruclips.net/video/7kGPhpvqtOc/видео.html
Well that was a pretty insightful comment by you about Michael Jackson. I'm sure you know about the impact Quincy Jones (mentioned by others) had on MJ's career. As for what's next, the two most common are her (even younger) Norway's Got Talent-winning performances and her AGT Champs performance of Bohemian Rhapsody aired this past winter. You'll probably get a variety of different lists to lose yourself in. So why not one more. I've tried to highlight in a few sentences what each of these represents in terms of her stylistic range, what makes them notable or just why I like them. The idea is that you can then decide for yourself where you want to go if you keep reacting to her. Others may give similar "roadmaps", and multiple different perspectives is never a bad thing! P.S. I'm not quite sure I agree with the one who says you need to hear 30-40 songs to get a sense of her repertoire, though I do know where they are coming from. My list is 20ish, and I don't think you need to go through nearly all of that to get an *idea* of her stylistic range. Probably 6-8 will get you well on the way! My list is in no particular order, after the first few. Angelina roadmap - Bohemian Rhapsody, America's Got Talent Champs - this is probably her most sublimely and cerebrally beautiful vocal performance, like it was the culmination of everything that came before it. Her own arrangement; totally unique, but also completely respectful of the original. Completely absorbed the attention of everyone in the theatre, reduced many to tears. Got a “wow” tweet from the surviving members of Queen. The embodiment of what makes a Angelina Jordan a truly great vocal artist. - I Put a Spell on you (Screamin’ Jay Hawkins) - ruclips.net/video/nwFloCPXzCs/видео.html . A LOT of jaws have been injured when they dropped to the floor while listening to this song. She had just turned nine years old. I repeat, she had just turned nine. That’s Screamin’ Jay on the CANDLE at the beginning of the recording. (I seem to have this incessant need to keep referring to it as a “mug”). - Norway’s got talent performances - ruclips.net/video/O2bX15tYFVk/видео.html . These are the performances that put the 7-8 year old Angelina on the world stage. They are all short so all four performances add up to less than 10 min. I like the all-in-one version because it shows a pretty amazing progression, particularly in her confidence and stage presence. - Shield (Skavlan tv show performance) - one of three originals she has released so far. Probably most “commercially” polished. She wrote the lyrics which are beautiful and meaningful. She collaborated with other musicians on the music. ruclips.net/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/видео.html - her other two originals, also amazing, are “What is Life?” and “Oslo” ( ruclips.net/video/R2HkKh_Cp8I/видео.html ). I much prefer the *acoustic* version of “What is Life” ( ruclips.net/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/видео.html ) with her standby US guitar accompanist Ivan Mendes and Dylan Meek on piano. For the record, Dylan is a 2020 Grammy nominee for a song he co-wrote for the film “Into the Spider-Verse”. - Young and Beautiful (Lana Del Rey). In my opinion, one of AJ’s most sublimely beautiful vocal performances, up there in the vicinity of Bohemian Rhapsody ruclips.net/video/3prGThnLil4/видео.html - Cry Me a River (Arthur Hamilton/Julie London) - this version ruclips.net/video/pmUA7IdF9RE/видео.html . No song by her or any other artist has ever had the “make-me-cry” staying power of this one. It’s not a song, it’s a magic spell. - for sheer dominating vocal power try It’s a Man’s World (James Brown). ruclips.net/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/видео.html . The version is important here. Please make sure your safety bar is locked firmly in place. - Every Time We Say Goodbye (Ella Fitzgerald) - ruclips.net/video/KRSI8HmTHJA/видео.html . For a song with a kind of sad theme, I’m not sure why listening to this makes me happier every time I hear it. Calming-for-the-spirit performance on a rooftop in downtown Oslo for a radio station. Like Cry Me a River, this is more sorcery than music. But in a very, very good way. - For minimalist high art, Wicked Game (Chris Isaac, this version ruclips.net/video/5IAMF4FDfw4/видео.html ). This arrangement and performance is an absolute genius piece of art. In terms of its brilliance as a completely unique and sparse but faithful arrangement of the original classic song, it is on the same level as Bohemian Rhapsody. Piano accompaniment by Angelina herself. - Born to Die (Lana Del Rey) - witness AJ’s lower register ruclips.net/video/DNU-HcLuO_I/видео.html - Back to Black (Amy Winehouse) - also a music video made in the recording studio - more of her lower register and incredible maturity in a 10-year old voice. ruclips.net/video/ICY1uJe15cM/видео.html - Wanna see her upper register? Watch her take Whitney for a whirl with I Have Nothing. Fasten your seatbelt but also note the sublime beauty of the non-belting parts. ruclips.net/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/видео.html . This is a pretty straightforward cover using a backing track that may well have come from David Foster himself, with whom she is pretty tight. - Speaking of giants in the industry, you may have heard of a dude named Quincy Jones. In 1964 he arranged a version of Bart Howard’s “Fly me to the Moon” for a couple of other dudes named Count Basie and Frank Sinatra. That became the iconic version of one of the all time great jazz classics. Flash forward to 2018 (I believe) and there is a big bash at the O2 in London for Quincy Jones’ 85th birthday. Care to guess who he invited to the show to perform Fly Me to the Moon? Hint: pre-teen girl with long dark hair and the voice of an angel. ruclips.net/video/GLdNc29qd70/видео.html . Quincy played a pretty large role in the development of another dude’s career - kid named Michael Jackson. At the O2 event he described Angelina as the biggest talent he’d seen come along since Michael Jackson. - California Dreaming (The Mommas and the Pappas) - ruclips.net/video/EBI7Km3z7-U/видео.html . Another absolute genius, slowed down version of an iconic song. - I’m Still Holding Out for You - ruclips.net/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/видео.html . Where do I start. :( This is a stunning song written by Brandon Lowry of Baby Fuzz while he was at a songwriting workshop in Oslo. I believe the first person to record the song as a demo with Baby Fuzz was Angelina Jordan. It wasn’t supposed to be released because her family felt the theme of the lyrics (especially the last verse) was too much for a 12-year-old girl. It was leaked in any case. BabyFirst has not objected to the video being out there and it appears her family has come to accept it as well. Baby Fuzz did record their own version of the song eventually which is the official version. It’s a great recording but, frankly, the vocals aren’t even in the same stratosphere as Angelina’s hypnotically beautiful version. This young lady is something else... - I Will Survive (Gloria Gaynor)- ruclips.net/video/ma7sa_n7k-8/видео.html - Disco!! Angelina often has a tendency to slow songs down, which is a very mature and unusual trait for a young singer. With the intro to this song Angelina shows how it’s possible to slow a song down dramatically without actually substantially modifying the tempo. This song is one of the best demonstrations of her creativity and her unbelievable mastery of rhythm and timing. Stay (Rhianna) - An acoustic version. I love this cover, but for many people this is one of if not the favorite cover. A beautiful, slowed-down acoustic version of Rihanna‘s classic. ruclips.net/video/_GSVPvCy3Yg/видео.html A Million Years Ago (Adele) - ruclips.net/video/QHLtZQ3sIwE/видео.html . A lot of Angelina’s fans will tell you this is better than Adele’s original. I don’t play that game, but this is a really, really beautiful acoustic rendition of that song. Closing comments Angelina’s musical roots are in jazz. She also has strong blues, R&B and soul influences. But her music has covered pop, country, alternative, EDM, folk, and hard rock (although I’m not sure she’s ever sung a hard rock song in the actual hard rock format, lol). With many artists this might lead one to wonder if they’re a little lost or searching for their place or identity. Angelina‘s core identity is well defined. She’s at a stage of her career when she can experiment with whatever she wants. Her voice isn’t just a voice, it’s a finally tuned musical instrument that has many different capabilities and I personally think it’s great that she’s exploring them all. I don’t frankly see any reason why she would ever need to narrow herself down to one “genre” but if she does that’s also fine and I have no doubt that she will absolutely own it.
Great reaction, Angelina is at level of vocal artistry seldom if ever seen for a young , besides her other talents , She is Norway's youngest published author at around 9 to 10 years old, she plays , piano, violin, flute, and guitar . Angelina does her musical arrangements and has been often observed directing professional musicians playing for her as to what she wants in a song. she is always in command when she performs in a very humble respectful manner to band members. Angelina is like no other I heave ever witnessed in her many abilities for one so young .she touches one right down to their heart and soul when she sings. :To bring you up to date on her background: (Angelina a short history ); Angelina has been singing since she was 1.5 years old (18 months started singing a Whitney Huston song , video on you tube of this here is the linkruclips.net/video/VJjG68Dfr-8/видео.html at 1:55 on this video is her at 1.5 years old ) later she was taken by jazz and started singing jazz classics as her grandmother introduced her to jazz tunes. Her singing is her life and her passion . her mother tried to get her to sing nursery songs and she just flat out refused to involve her self in that nonsense. She is her own driving force no one dictates to her what she does in her singing or preparations, it is all her 110%. the following are her own songs . Won Norway's got talent at 7 to 8 years old has over 125 videos on line plus three of her own compositions and two that were written for her to sing , the first 3 she wrote and arranged herself, the last two were written for her to sing 1, Shield ,, ruclips.net/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/видео.html 2. Oslo,, ruclips.net/video/6PsVu4iNmX0/видео.html ( A song dedicated to her home town Oslo , Norway) 3. What Is Life,, .ruclips.net/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/видео.html 4. Above the water,, ruclips.net/video/SC3F0bKKk3U/видео.html 5. Song for A ("A" standing for Angelina) ,, ruclips.net/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/видео.html Angelina had over 500 million views of her singing videos before her performance on AGT The Champions now her views are in the billions . Angelina was well known all over the world except in America up until her AGT Champions , mini concert. She sings bare foot since she was 6 years old to honor a bare foot orphan he met girl around her own age around 6 years old whom had no shoes and had scars on her feet, she weighing people on a bathroom scale to support her and her siblings. Angelina at six years old took her shoes off and gave them to this poor girl, and Angelina has performed on stage in honor of the pledge she made to her not to sing on stage with shoes on form then on . Angelina has honored that pledge for last 8 years . Angelina takes on a different voice for each song she covers to give homage to the song, and never tries to show off her vocal abilities but always gives each song its due respect. Angelina has a 5 octave range and her low note ability is just mind blowing for a pre-teen or now at just a mere 14 years as of Jan. 10 ,2020. Angelina can sing any genre and excel at it many times better than the original artist.
It is worth mentioning that MJ most likely was underestimated as a musician. He was the king of pop, commercialism and entertainment, but he also had a prodigious understanding of music from an early age. The fact that he wrote commercial music doesn't undermine that. The same also goes for Elton John, who entered The Royal Academy of music at the age of eleven! (Yes you read that correctly). Quincy Jones telling Angelina that she has the same talent as the legend says about everything really. I am not so sure she will have that type career however, sadly it is incredibly difficult to be recognized for your gifts. Talent is just a part of it. But I am hoping the very best for her, and she is on her way to be recognized in the way she deserves, with a lot of devoted fans behind her!
Yeah before I get onto her today when is 13 - 14 I'd recommend her singing of "I'd rather go blind" I dig the Michael Jackson reference. They are definitely prodigies.
You just witnessed 9 years old Angelina's outstanding tribute to the song's author, the very peculiar Screamin'Jay Hawkins ruclips.net/video/orNpH6iyokI/видео.html This was just one of her many styles and that growling was solely for this performance. You will hardly hear it again from her. I hope you dig some more into Angelina because there is a lot more to be seen 😉 Great reaction!
Angelina is not your regular singer. She is many singers in one so keep reacting to her and you will see that she is better than World known singers. Welcome to the Angelina club. She is 14 years old now and around 6 feet tall. Angelina is amazing. She sings barefoot because when she was traveling through a poor country when she saw a little girl like her without shoes and she gave her the ones she was wearing. She won't wear shoes when she sings until all children have shoes. This is the list, in chronological order of many of her songs (from super fan Rusty Shackleford's List): ruclips.net/p/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO Please react to: BACK TO BLACK (Amy Winehouse, 10 years old) ruclips.net/video/LbXUKzOxACU/видео.html BORN TO DIE (Lana del Rey, 12 years old) ruclips.net/video/DNU-HcLuO_I/видео.html YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL (Lana del Rey, 12 years old) ruclips.net/video/3prGThnLil4/видео.html I'D RATHER GO BLIND (Etta James, 12 years) ruclips.net/video/pK8mMXQb3_I/видео.html STAY (Rihanna, 12 years) ruclips.net/video/_GSVPvCy3Yg/видео.html A MILLION YEARS AGO (Adele, 12 years old) ruclips.net/video/QHLtZQ3sIwE/видео.html I HAVE NOTHING (Whitney Houston song, 13 years old) ruclips.net/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/видео.html and my personal favorite as well as many other fans, this super soulful song: I'M STILL HOLDING OUT FOR YOU (amazing, mind blowing, 10 years old) ruclips.net/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/видео.html
She has "good ear" to know the dynamic of song, timbre, etc. Ear only acoustic sensor of human, and the processor is brain. You can learn to to have "good ear". If you have a chance to listen to unplugged music without sound system, go for it. Buy good sound system, the expensive one is not always the better, but usually more expensive is better. Most expensive one can have a price like sport car.

Sugestion with same musicians as in I put a spell on you. Angelina Jordan & band - Jamming on: Portrait of a child ruclips.net/video/80f3t3dmBbk/видео.html Not a finished track but groovy. And you see who is the boss.
Interesting you mention Michael Jackson. His producer Quincy Jones had the same thought. She did many more amazing songs. Please react to "Feeling good" (10 year old): ruclips.net/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/видео.html
Try this by Angelina: ruclips.net/video/rpdHJJQAd9Y/видео.html This shows her versatility. TRXD · Angelina Jordan - It's probably just opera and rap she has not sung ... PS! This is electronic dance music!
Interesting analysis. Thank you. I have the following Angelina recommendations. You will love any of these.nn _What is Life_ (Angelina original) ruclips.net/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/видео.html. It's about a little girl's own appreciation of life. Damn, youtube does not let me post more than one link now.
Please react to her performance of I'll be There. Even though she sang it with a bad cold at age 8, well, you'll see what I mean. - I'll be there - ruclips.net/video/VJIwvWdoO3o/видео.html - haunting
Disappointing review. Your prominent thought was that her abilities reminded you of Michael Jackson. That she was music smart like Michael. Not a mention about her precise timing, her range or the simple fact that at 9 years of age, she was the one in charge of the Session from start to finish. My hopes are you will afford her a second look. She is the future.
you are the first to say she is intelligent in the same league as MJ thats powerful
It's always nice to hear comments that are thoughtful and intelligent.
Angelina is truly a prodigy and will be a huge star (if not already). She won Norway's Got Talent at age 7, she's now 13 and recently appeared on AGT show of champions...her singing style is mostly jazzy genre. I like listening to upcoming young stars...there's another one that you should react to...Angelica Hale, who appeared on AGT twice (@ 9 and 11) and won golden buzzer both times. She recently did a cover of Demi Lovato's "Stone Cold" @ 12 years old...would love to hear your reaction to that as well. BT, her RUclips channel has over 2 MILLION subscribers with over 200 videos. Thanks for you very informative reactions...keep up the good work !!
Nick Roberts thanks so much for the information, I’m very interested in listening to Angelica Hale now! Don’t be surprised if you see a video.
My favorite of her styles is when she sings blues. I love the genre, always have. When I hear AJ sing blues I get so nostalgic about all the great singers and I realize she is channeling them all! Her voice is a magical key that unlocks so much in my heart, mind & soul.
Angelina is a Vocal Goddess. She is amazing. Mesmerizing isn’t she?
Quincy Jones said Angelina was the best young singer since he first heard Michael Jackson, and invited her to sing at his 85th birthday (huge) celebration at the O2 Arena in London 2018 (she was 12 then). Here is a video that combines that sound track with footage of a rehearsal for it: ruclips.net/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/видео.html.
PS; don't think for a minute that by listening to a couple songs you have come close to hearing her "style", that you know how she sings; you won't fully understanding those thing until you have 30-40 of her songs under your belt.. She has 130 songs on RUclips that go back to before she won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8.
ek 1707 not at all doubting this statement but there any evidence of Quincy Jones saying this? I was slated by trolls last night when I mentioned this who asked for evidence..just wondering? I did send them the links to her Quincy Jones performance and practice sessions but that wasn't enough lo..cheers and take care...
@@kevingood4644 this is in Angelina's own words from her FB account: Dear Quincy Jones, it was my pleasure to work with you, you told me great things and it was a very emotional moment for me and for you, when you told me that I remind you of younger days of MJ. I will carry this memory forever. Your words gave me more confidence and I will be stronger now as an artist and as human being 🙌🏼 I also want to thank my people for making this possible also your people. See you soon and much Love ❤️ June29,2018.
Every time I hear Angelina sing, I picture her stepping out of an old black & white movie, to transport us back in time, so we can fall in love with these genuine masterpieces again ❤️ 💚 💙 💜 Great reaction!!! A little backstory, for some of your subscribers who may not know......Angelina's Grandmother loved Blues & Jazz music, & they used to listen to it all the time, & Angelina felt an immediate connection, so her younger style tipped the scale closer to Jazz, and as she ages, she has developed many other styles of music, including her own, & now can sing almost anything!!! She also sews most of her outfits, does all her own musical arrangements, & goes barefoot, because she met a young girl when performing one day, who had no shoes & could not afford to buy any, so Angelina gave her the shoes she had on, & in memory of the girl, & poverty issues, she continues to goes barefoot! What can I say, except this young girl, is an inspiration, an amazing talent, has a huge compassionate heart, & the world is a much nicer place to be, with her in it !!!
THEY ARE ALL GOOD! You are going to be AMAZED the more you here from her. She’s done 130 covers and several originals, ALL worth your time. If you get a comment from Rusty Shackleford, follow his advice and links!
Quincy Jones said, he hadn't heard anyone sing on such a high level since MJ, had first heard Angelina. And he knows what he's talking about...
Angelina is a special young lady with God given talent. She happens to be my favorite singer and is very impressive with many genres. So, something for everybody, I like all her covers, I just love Angelina. You have impressed me also, I will be subscribing hope you will do more of Angelina. Thumbs up SpydaMike.
9 years old in this performance!!!!!
Believe me, everyone was waiting to see you get totally blown away! We all knew this was coming! There is no way anyone could anticipate what they were about to hear! - Absolutely the best performance by any child ever on any song! - Period. Actually, I seriously doubt if any adult can match it. Angelina tried it when she was older, but it wasn't as good as this one. If She can't do it, no one can
Spot on words in your reaction👍 You got a new member to your group🙂👏
Thanks so much my friend!
Thanks for your reaction. She won Norwegian talents at the age of 8, and is predicted to become the next superstar! She is also known for being able to adjust the voice to which genre she sings. She has approx. 130 covers on RUclips + 3 originals.
Angelina Jordan - Date of birth: January 10, 2006 (age 14 years), Born and raised in Oslo, Norway; this world-renowned singer has earned fantastic reviews for the amazing breadth, depth and maturity of her vocal talent that simply belies her young age.
Something you might have noticed is that Angelina always performs barefoot!!!
When Angelina was 6 years old, she met a homeless girl around her age when she was traveling in the Middle East. The girl did not have any shoes, and Angelina says her feet were scarred. Angelina gave the girl her own shoes. Angelina then “vowed never to appear on stage again wearing shoes until all the world’s children had them.” She keeps that promise to this day, as she says that little girl “is always in my heart.” - Angelina said she asked the little girl what her dream was, and the girl responded that she wanted to be a doctor. Angelina told her to “never give up.” In return, the girl told Angelina she would pray for her, and asked her to “remember me.”
She might as well sing in a bad cellphone microphone, without a microphone, or to collaborate with professional musicians. She does not need any autotune or digital aids to sing. It is real song in an otherwise polished world. She just sings because it's her passion.
Angelina’s videos have received over "over 600 Million views on youtube & over 2 Billion views on Facebook."
Amazingly, her passion for music began at just one-and- a-half years of age when Angelina first saw Whitney Houston on RUclips performing I Will Always Love You. Whitney - and later Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington - became her first major musical influences.
At the age of seven, Angelina auditioned for Norway’s Got Talent performing Billie Holiday’s Gloomy Sunday. She won the competition with the show drawing record TV audiences.
Not surprisingly, throughout her rising career, Angelina has featured in prominent media outlets including TIME, CNN, BBC, and People while also performing on the U.S. network TV shows Little Big Shots and The View.
In 2016, Avicii chose Angelina for the vocals on his worldwide Volvo commercial campaign, a brilliant cover of Nina Simone’s Feeling Good.
As well as singing before Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, charitable causes to which Angelina has given her talent include the Rainforest Alliance at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and Ein Herz für Kinder in Berlin where she helped raise over 21 Million Euros for children and families in need.
Everyone in the music industry knows who she is, but the family and herself want her to grow up as normal as possible. Among other things, they said no to Disney!
This multi-talented singing prodigy has also written a successful, illustrated children’s book in her native Norway making Angelina the youngest published author in the country’s history.
Today she is 14 years old and has over 126 covers and 3 originals on RUclips. She has already managed to collaborate with the biggest in the music industry, and is considered to be a future megarstar.The family and herself want to take it easy in the musical development because of her young age.
NOTE!
Angelina is independent and owns the rights herself. Angelina Jordan INC. She and her family take it easy because of her young age. Angelina wants total ownership over her creativity, without compromise. She / family said no to Disney, among other things. She attends some major foundrising concerts. Rumor has it that she is coming up with her own album this year.
Why didn't Angelina Jordan win AGT champions?
It's because she refused to sign with "Fremantle" when it came to ownership of the version of the performance of the songs.They told her she wasn't gonna win if she didn't. Well. She didn't win. and how to determine the best talent of a singer, magician or dance group, but I think they were aware of this, but still wanted her to attend to bring as many viewers as possible. Then there was no way she could win.
The entire acclaimed music industry knows who she is, and she was invited to sing for Quincy Jones during his 85th birthday at O2 Arena London ruclips.net/video/OMkwoqUNNkE/видео.html . She has also collaborated with David Foster, Gene Simmons, Alan Walker. In addition to singing at the Nobel Prize concert 8 year old. This is just something from her résumé at 14 years old and the list is much longer.
Note! She is also Norway's youngest author with published book 9 years old!
10 Years old her !!! She can actually sing all genres, try this: ruclips.net/video/SC3F0bKKk3U/видео.html - TRXD - Above The Water (Lyrics) ft. Angelina Jordan It's electronic dance music, and she was wanted as a guest vocal on their record. The only thing I have not heard her sing is opera and rap.
(Google translate)
I bet she can handle opera. Rap is not music, so that doesn’t count.
Super great reaction, Journey on With Angelina for amazement, chills, tears, and so much more. She loves jazz and many others genres, but jazz is her favorite. Looking forward to more reaction of Angelina Jordan. Thanks. : )
If you love blues an jazz you are on for a treat with the new Queen of jazz, blues an Soul. Music! Take the journey with her reacting to her performances from 7 years old until now at 14. She has fantastic vocals and musical intelligence. You should react to her version of Its a mans world, the jazz/blues version with a fantastic guitar solo at the end of the song. I think she was 12 years old here, but she is a powerhouse!
She was 9 years old
Her bohemian rhapsody cover is pretty awesome :)
Hehe ..it's actualy mindblowing
You are exactly right about her ability to read the emotional heart of a song even when she might not have had the experiences associated with those emotions. You could go all the way to her recent remake of Bohemian Rhapsody at 13, or many songs in between. You might like her covers of Sam Smith's I Know I'm Not the Only One, or Rhianna's Stay. Her Adele covers are amazing.
1. An important thing to remember about AJ is that she owns the rights to everything she sings and with aquired permissions for covers of other singers.
2. She refused to sign for a record deal through AGT and they relented and invited her to sing anyway.
3. She began singing at 18 months and due to her grandmothers influence, she was drawn to and fell in love with jazz and blues music.
4. She has been arranging most, if not all of her music performances since she was 8 years old.
5. Currently in 2022 she still performs barefoot, sews her own clothes, (the cloth is designed by her grandmother) and she stands 6 feet tall at 15 yeats old!
6. We all hope to enjoy her performances for many years to come.
7. BTW I'm 80 and have been involved privately in music since age 7.
Mike - Shout out to you from a fellow St. Louisan! Thank you for your outstanding reaction to this Angelina Jordan performance. It is obvious that you are a professional who understands the technical and artistic aspects of vocal music. After 40+ years as a music educator and jazz musician, I would say to all young singers out there: Don’t try to sing like Angelina until you know how to do it, especially when she belts out in the high register. Take voice lessons and learn everything you can about vocal technique and artistic styling. If you try to do what she does before you know what you are doing, you could severely damage your voice and may never be able to sing again. Angelina has a gift that very few people in history have ever had. All of her physical vocal abilities and sense of musical style came with her at birth and because her family played music all the time as she was growing up. She is a force of nature. You young singers can aspire to sing like her, but don’t push it. We would like to see and hear you on RUclips someday! Mike, you have about 135 of Angelina's RUclips videos to choose from for your reactions. I guarantee that the more reactions you do to her, your subscriptions and likes will go through the roof! Great job, man!
Robert Carlson thanks for your comment, I’m glad someone recommended her.She is awesome and I look forward to hearing more of her music
Your spot on with her music intelligence and maturity, her ability to convey emotions is almost unparalleled. She is 14 today, and all of her performances at AGT 2020 The Champions will show you how this prodigy has developed since this masterpiece at age 9. One of my favourites on the emotional side is Wicked Game ruclips.net/video/5IAMF4FDfw4/видео.html
Hi St-Louis,MO. She’s 9 on this track, Angelina has an old soul, here some songs from her ( Summertime, What’s a difference day makes, Fly me to the moon, lot of covers that she makes (120+) and make them to her style, she made a cover of Baby FUzz named (I’m still holding out for you) an OLD OLD VIBE song, you like blues ! you will be well served, enjoy, take care of you and you have a great day.
ANGELINA JORDAN I'm Still Holding out for You is one of my favorites. Here is a link for the song. ruclips.net/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/видео.html
What you say about Michael Jackson is absolute relevant for this girl. Her emotions are unbelievable heartfelt
Jette van der Lende michael jackson was an entertainer, dancer and singer .. but he was not anywhere near the class of singer that Angelina is
Barry Ellis the only thing I was thinking, is that he was a superstar and Angelina will be one. They have different qualities but both mesmerizing their audiences in different ways
Great reaction. I suggest you react to Angelina's cover of "I'd Rather Go Blind" by the great Etta James.
Your references to Michael Jackson as a child singer is very relevant and interesting.
She's got you now. Your going to be one of Angelina's angels! If you like blues you'll LOVE Angelina, but you'll get these comments and list from me now. [BTW EVERYTHING she does is Good!! So you won't be disappointed. I promise! Pick any song of hers that you'd like to hear. We all love to watch as Angelina finds another "angel" to follow her. If you felt her in that song you are meant now to find more from her to feel. No one can relate the song to you as she can. Hope to see more of her from you soon. Thanks for the reaction. [she's so good!] Welcome to Angelina's angels from one who is hopelessly addicted.
This is what I will share: Angelina has just turned 9 here. When she did AGT [you'll be listening to soon I'm sure] she was 13. [just turned 14 in January] and she is already over 6 feet tall! Angelina sees the art of song. She relates what she sees so clearly. She truly loves music. Songs are wonderful expressions of art. And there is a way to see that, hear that, and she shows us that. An interesting anecdote: ; Many try to explain AJ's talent and most use words like out of this world, re-incarnated, old soul, alien, and so forth. I think all are trying to say the same thing. [when you hear more from her, you'll see even more why they say these things] Here's what she has to say: At twelve in an interview when asked the first question "when I see you on stage I wonder who do you feel that you become?" [fishing for a particular artist, I'm sure] Her answer was: "When I sing I go to another world. It’s ...in the world it’s like an endless. It's amazing. It's like full of happiness. And I love ...It's amazing." [her exact words] She brings that world to us, just for a time when she sings. Whatever you believe that place she goes to may be. Of over 130 songs pick any you'd like to hear from that list -you can't go wrong. Here's some links to do that: Here are the official channels of her and the most known fan club:

My short list: You just heard her [Blow You Away at her talent at such an early age of 9] doing this: "I Put a Spell on You"(9): ruclips.net/video/nwFloCPXzCs/видео.html. [This is a fantastic all out interpretation of a song by the artist "Screamin Jay Hawkins" she pays tribute to by holding a candle with his picture on it at the beginning] You will see in the beginning she has written her "suggestions" to the director for the band. [she is arranging the song herself at age 9!] She has requested the changes to be made so sweetly the director smiles. [she wrote it was her "wish" if he could make those changes] He did. And we end up with Angelina's vision and interpretation for us to marvel at.
If you want to see her grow from even earlier I really suggest to go to her studio recording at age 6!! of "I who have nothing". Angelina Jordan - I Who Have Nothing - Complete performance [6 yrs old]

ruclips.net/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/видео.html
[she was partly testing her strength I think]
And before we get to Bohemian Rhapsody and Yellow brick road listen to her own lyrics in: Angelina Jordan "Back to Black" Cover, with KORK, improvised lyric.
ruclips.net/video/LbXUKzOxACU/видео.html
[here she re-wrote the lyrics to not be so dark in the limo ride on the way to the studio. Contrary to popular belief it is not just a few lines she re-wrote, she made at least some small change in every line of the song to make it less dark and more 10 year old appropriate and to tie that together. She got out of the car, walked into the studio took her shoes off and did it in one take. [I've heard] [others will tell you the shoe story]
[shows real talent]
Wicked game is another to show her talent [She is wicked good with this one LOL]: Angelina Jordan playing piano (Wicked Game) 2018
ruclips.net/video/lnCbca9ZUB8/видео.html
And finally "I'm Still Holding Out for You" ruclips.net/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/видео.html
-This is a demo that Angelina recorded when she was around 10/11, that was "leaked" when she was 12. Angelina was not pleased that it was leaked, because the lyrics at the end implied suicide. She said she would never perform this song again. Mature decision on her part. But this performance is really good! [the author - Baby Fuzz - didn't want to or wouldn't allow his lyrics changed so an outstanding performance by Angelina will not be repeated and only the "leaked" version will ever be heard] [I can't help but wonder if given the chance how she would change the lyrics, but she would have done the song a big favor if allowed]
And finally [what for many has started it all] [the appreciation and "finding" of Angelina] her performances on AGT: Angelina Jordan - Bohemian Rhapsody - America's Got Talent: The Champions One - January 6, 2020
ruclips.net/video/HjsM3puKPrs/видео.html
and her second; She is flawless here. Superb. This is fascinating: her performance in the finals of AGT-C where she covers Sara Bareilles' version of Elton John's iconic song Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. ruclips.net/video/HjsM3puKPrs/видео.html
Another thing, her full name is Angelina Jordan Astar. Jorden means Earth in Swedish/Norwegian so her name interpreted is Angelina Earth Star.
When you watch more of her you will understand better why I say, Enjoy the journey! It really does seem we truly are meant to.
Angelina singing Feeling Good.
Brilliant observation and comparison to MJ, as they are the best examples of musical and emotional intelligence beyond their years probably anyone can think of in singers. As for Angelina Jordan, she clearly understood songs on a wide emotional spectrum long before she could have the life experience to draw on. It is not fake, but some kind of wisdom on tap from a source not available to most of us.
When she was 6 years old on holiday she and her family met a poor girl about the same age as Angelina working as a street vendor, she had scars on her feet so Angelina gave the girl her own shoes and promised to never perform with shoes again until all children in the world can afford to have shoes. She performed outdoors in Norway in December for the Nobel prize winners without shoes in 2014
Well put....
👍😊❤️❤️❤️ , ❤️ your reaction 👍😊 , Welcome to Angelinas world 😊❤️ , She started singing at 1,5 and won Norwegian talent when she was 8, she have 120+ coversongs and some originals 😊, next Angelina singing Bohemian Rhapsody in AGT Champions 2020 ? It will blow your mind out 😊, she makes all the cover songs hers 😊
Hi Mike,
every time it's a pleasure to watch people reacting to Angelina Jordan - especially the first time - and I hope to see more of your reactions on Angelina Jordan - but I'm sure I will ;-) because:
Now it's too late!...
From now on you are assimilated in Angelinas entourage! Resistance is futil...
Even if you won't believe it and if you are in denial about it: Only listen to one song sung by Angelina Jordan and you are hocked on listening her voice! May be you aren't aware of it yet... a legend says in rare cases there are humans who can resist.... but I can't believe it ;-)
And if you wonder what video of Angelina Jordan should be the next to react to... ;-) ...
You have a big pile of over 130 videos on youtube with Angelina Jordans rehearsals, covers and originals.
She is born 10th Januar 2006, sung her first notes of a Whitney Houston song with 18 months (link see down), started researching the internet for Jazz 3 yo, entered Norske Talenter (Norwegian Got Talent) 7 yo and won it 8 yo, published a book 9yo, was on AGT The Champions (recorded Oct. 2019, aired Jan. 2020) where she didn't won - some rumours say because she/her mother didn't sign the contract with the enterprise of Simon Cowell for to stay independed.

All the other things like more recommendation, chronological playlists and so on you can read in the comments of the megafans like Fernando F., Rusty ...
And a little Question:
As you reacted to her cover "I put a spell on you" b/w studio version at 9yo (ruclips.net/video/nwFloCPXzCs/видео.html - btw. she made most of her cover arrangements by herself!) it would be interesting for you to watch the original from Screemin' Jay Hawkins (from 1956 - ruclips.net/video/7kGPhpvqtOc/видео.html) that's real fun - and than you will find out that Angelinas cover is a real tribute to Jay Hawkins :-D
Thanks a billion for your nice reaction and comments! ...and see you soon with your next AJ reactions - with greetings from Berlin/Germany :-D Best regards
Andreas
Please react to Angilina Jordan's Gloomy Sunday her first audition on Norway's Got talent. At age seven.
Nice song .She sings in great sensation with beautiful voice .
please react to this great song ( winter rains ) by Demis Roussos who dominated the love songs in the seventies with his golden voice .
Angelina Jordan… Resistance Is Futile
Mike great react very good analysis
Angela Handley Thanks so much for watching!
Well Said :)
Please react to "I'm a Fool to Want You" a Billie Holiday cover Angelina performed on Norway's Got Talent at age 7.
Really enjoyed your reaction. Subscribed.
I’m glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching my friend!
Hi neighbor (St Chas here) Another spell was cast! You just met 9 yo Angelina.
Welcome to “The World Of Angelina Jordan Astar” (full name). “The Barefoot Singer With The Velvet Voice And A Mona Lisa Smile”. From her audition on Norway’s Got Talent (2014 - age 7- Gloomy Sunday "Billy Holiday") through the finale’ on America’s Got Talent The Champions (2020 - age 13 - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road "Sir Elton John") and the 130+ videos in between you will not be disappointed. My personal favorite is her cover of Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die".
Let’s analyze the video:
1st you see how small and cute she is.
2nd you see she is barefoot (story below)
3rd You see her making her “list of suggested changes” to the song.
4th the band leader taking note of the changes.
5th Angelina is holding a candle with “Screemin’ Jay Hawkin’s (original artist 1956) picture on it.
6th the old soul in her voice.
She is the youngest published author in Norway. Angelina wrote and her Grandmother illustrated a book about why she sings barefoot. She was on a trip to Iran where her grandmother is from and met a street girl weighing people for money. Angelina sat and talk with the girl. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, a Doctor but that it could never happen. Angelina told her to never give up hope. The girl complimented Angelina on her shoes and Angelina noticed her scarred bare feet so she gave them to her, and the little girl told Angelina she would pray for her every day. Angelina sings barefoot to this day to remind the world that there are still children in need. All proceeds go to charity.
She is just as beautiful on the inside as the out!
I'm thinking of an interview where Angelina told that she loved those shoes, green boots Green is one of the colours for our hearts
Hello neighbor! Thanks for the information. I’m very intrigued with her and you’ll defiantly see more videos of Angelica Jordan!
Angelina is as well a composer, (the sheet she adjusted a note or to and gave the musician) as you "go into Angelina's World you can see where she does the song for her. As in beginning of the video she shows respect to man (the candle she was expressing) who originally done this tune... Screaming Jay Hawkins. Mr. Hawkins ... ruclips.net/video/7kGPhpvqtOc/видео.html
Well that was a pretty insightful comment by you about Michael Jackson. I'm sure you know about the impact Quincy Jones (mentioned by others) had on MJ's career.
As for what's next, the two most common are her (even younger) Norway's Got Talent-winning performances and her AGT Champs performance of Bohemian Rhapsody aired this past winter. You'll probably get a variety of different lists to lose yourself in. So why not one more. I've tried to highlight in a few sentences what each of these represents in terms of her stylistic range, what makes them notable or just why I like them. The idea is that you can then decide for yourself where you want to go if you keep reacting to her. Others may give similar "roadmaps", and multiple different perspectives is never a bad thing!
P.S. I'm not quite sure I agree with the one who says you need to hear 30-40 songs to get a sense of her repertoire, though I do know where they are coming from. My list is 20ish, and I don't think you need to go through nearly all of that to get an *idea* of her stylistic range. Probably 6-8 will get you well on the way! My list is in no particular order, after the first few.
Angelina roadmap
- Bohemian Rhapsody, America's Got Talent Champs - this is probably her most sublimely and cerebrally beautiful vocal performance, like it was the culmination of everything that came before it. Her own arrangement; totally unique, but also completely respectful of the original. Completely absorbed the attention of everyone in the theatre, reduced many to tears. Got a “wow” tweet from the surviving members of Queen. The embodiment of what makes a Angelina Jordan a truly great vocal artist.
- I Put a Spell on you (Screamin’ Jay Hawkins) - ruclips.net/video/nwFloCPXzCs/видео.html . A LOT of jaws have been injured when they dropped to the floor while listening to this song. She had just turned nine years old. I repeat, she had just turned nine. That’s Screamin’ Jay on the CANDLE at the beginning of the recording. (I seem to have this incessant need to keep referring to it as a “mug”).
- Norway’s got talent performances - ruclips.net/video/O2bX15tYFVk/видео.html . These are the performances that put the 7-8 year old Angelina on the world stage. They are all short so all four performances add up to less than 10 min. I like the all-in-one version because it shows a pretty amazing progression, particularly in her confidence and stage presence.
- Shield (Skavlan tv show performance) - one of three originals she has released so far. Probably most “commercially” polished. She wrote the lyrics which are beautiful and meaningful. She collaborated with other musicians on the music. ruclips.net/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/видео.html
- her other two originals, also amazing, are “What is Life?” and “Oslo” ( ruclips.net/video/R2HkKh_Cp8I/видео.html ). I much prefer the *acoustic* version of “What is Life” ( ruclips.net/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/видео.html ) with her standby US guitar accompanist Ivan Mendes and Dylan Meek on piano. For the record, Dylan is a 2020 Grammy nominee for a song he co-wrote for the film “Into the Spider-Verse”.
- Young and Beautiful (Lana Del Rey). In my opinion, one of AJ’s most sublimely beautiful vocal performances, up there in the vicinity of Bohemian Rhapsody ruclips.net/video/3prGThnLil4/видео.html
- Cry Me a River (Arthur Hamilton/Julie London) - this version ruclips.net/video/pmUA7IdF9RE/видео.html . No song by her or any other artist has ever had the “make-me-cry” staying power of this one. It’s not a song, it’s a magic spell.
- for sheer dominating vocal power try It’s a Man’s World (James Brown). ruclips.net/video/HEm7tGrjIKk/видео.html . The version is important here. Please make sure your safety bar is locked firmly in place.
- Every Time We Say Goodbye (Ella Fitzgerald) - ruclips.net/video/KRSI8HmTHJA/видео.html . For a song with a kind of sad theme, I’m not sure why listening to this makes me happier every time I hear it. Calming-for-the-spirit performance on a rooftop in downtown Oslo for a radio station. Like Cry Me a River, this is more sorcery than music. But in a very, very good way.
- For minimalist high art, Wicked Game (Chris Isaac, this version ruclips.net/video/5IAMF4FDfw4/видео.html ). This arrangement and performance is an absolute genius piece of art. In terms of its brilliance as a completely unique and sparse but faithful arrangement of the original classic song, it is on the same level as Bohemian Rhapsody. Piano accompaniment by Angelina herself.
- Born to Die (Lana Del Rey) - witness AJ’s lower register ruclips.net/video/DNU-HcLuO_I/видео.html
- Back to Black (Amy Winehouse) - also a music video made in the recording studio - more of her lower register and incredible maturity in a 10-year old voice. ruclips.net/video/ICY1uJe15cM/видео.html
- Wanna see her upper register? Watch her take Whitney for a whirl with I Have Nothing. Fasten your seatbelt but also note the sublime beauty of the non-belting parts. ruclips.net/video/eTcvvO6B3Io/видео.html . This is a pretty straightforward cover using a backing track that may well have come from David Foster himself, with whom she is pretty tight.
- Speaking of giants in the industry, you may have heard of a dude named Quincy Jones. In 1964 he arranged a version of Bart Howard’s “Fly me to the Moon” for a couple of other dudes named Count Basie and Frank Sinatra. That became the iconic version of one of the all time great jazz classics. Flash forward to 2018 (I believe) and there is a big bash at the O2 in London for Quincy Jones’ 85th birthday. Care to guess who he invited to the show to perform Fly Me to the Moon? Hint: pre-teen girl with long dark hair and the voice of an angel. ruclips.net/video/GLdNc29qd70/видео.html . Quincy played a pretty large role in the development of another dude’s career - kid named Michael Jackson. At the O2 event he described Angelina as the biggest talent he’d seen come along since Michael Jackson.
- California Dreaming (The Mommas and the Pappas) - ruclips.net/video/EBI7Km3z7-U/видео.html . Another absolute genius, slowed down version of an iconic song.
- I’m Still Holding Out for You - ruclips.net/video/Dv8mjCh5iiE/видео.html . Where do I start. :( This is a stunning song written by Brandon Lowry of Baby Fuzz while he was at a songwriting workshop in Oslo. I believe the first person to record the song as a demo with Baby Fuzz was Angelina Jordan. It wasn’t supposed to be released because her family felt the theme of the lyrics (especially the last verse) was too much for a 12-year-old girl. It was leaked in any case. BabyFirst has not objected to the video being out there and it appears her family has come to accept it as well. Baby Fuzz did record their own version of the song eventually which is the official version. It’s a great recording but, frankly, the vocals aren’t even in the same stratosphere as Angelina’s hypnotically beautiful version. This young lady is something else...
- I Will Survive (Gloria Gaynor)- ruclips.net/video/ma7sa_n7k-8/видео.html - Disco!! Angelina often has a tendency to slow songs down, which is a very mature and unusual trait for a young singer. With the intro to this song Angelina shows how it’s possible to slow a song down dramatically without actually substantially modifying the tempo. This song is one of the best demonstrations of her creativity and her unbelievable mastery of rhythm and timing.
Stay (Rhianna) - An acoustic version. I love this cover, but for many people this is one of if not the favorite cover. A beautiful, slowed-down acoustic version of Rihanna‘s classic. ruclips.net/video/_GSVPvCy3Yg/видео.html
A Million Years Ago (Adele) - ruclips.net/video/QHLtZQ3sIwE/видео.html . A lot of Angelina’s fans will tell you this is better than Adele’s original. I don’t play that game, but this is a really, really beautiful acoustic rendition of that song.
Closing comments
Angelina’s musical roots are in jazz. She also has strong blues, R&B and soul influences. But her music has covered pop, country, alternative, EDM, folk, and hard rock (although I’m not sure she’s ever sung a hard rock song in the actual hard rock format, lol). With many artists this might lead one to wonder if they’re a little lost or searching for their place or identity. Angelina‘s core identity is well defined. She’s at a stage of her career when she can experiment with whatever she wants. Her voice isn’t just a voice, it’s a finally tuned musical instrument that has many different capabilities and I personally think it’s great that she’s exploring them all. I don’t frankly see any reason why she would ever need to narrow herself down to one “genre” but if she does that’s also fine and I have no doubt that she will absolutely own it.
Great reaction, Angelina is at level of vocal artistry seldom if ever seen for a young , besides her other talents , She is Norway's youngest published author at around 9 to 10 years old, she plays , piano, violin, flute, and guitar . Angelina does her musical arrangements and has been often observed directing professional musicians playing for her as to what she wants in a song.
she is always in command when she performs in a very humble respectful manner to band members. Angelina is like no other I heave ever witnessed in her many abilities for one so young .she touches one right down to their heart and soul when she sings. :To bring you up to date on her background:
(Angelina a short history ); Angelina has been singing since she was 1.5 years old (18 months started singing a Whitney Huston song , video on you tube of this here is the linkruclips.net/video/VJjG68Dfr-8/видео.html at 1:55 on this video is her at 1.5 years old ) later she was taken by jazz and started singing jazz classics as her grandmother introduced her to jazz tunes. Her singing is her life and her passion . her mother tried to get her to sing nursery songs and she just flat out refused to involve her self in that nonsense.
She is her own driving force no one dictates to her what she does in her singing or preparations, it is all her 110%. the following are her own songs . Won Norway's got talent at 7 to 8 years old has over 125 videos on line plus three of her own compositions and two that were written for her to sing , the first 3 she wrote and arranged herself, the last two were written for her to sing
1, Shield ,, ruclips.net/video/lQtUbVKb0vs/видео.html
2. Oslo,, ruclips.net/video/6PsVu4iNmX0/видео.html ( A song dedicated to her home town Oslo , Norway)
3. What Is Life,, .ruclips.net/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/видео.html
4. Above the water,, ruclips.net/video/SC3F0bKKk3U/видео.html
5. Song for A ("A" standing for Angelina) ,, ruclips.net/video/Bo3mhxPM-uA/видео.html
Angelina had over 500 million views of her singing videos before her performance on AGT The Champions now her views are in the billions . Angelina was well known all over the world except in America up until her AGT Champions , mini concert.
She sings bare foot since she was 6 years old to honor a bare foot orphan he met girl around her own age around 6 years old whom had no shoes and had scars on her feet, she weighing people on a bathroom scale to support her and her siblings. Angelina at six years old took her shoes off and gave them to this poor girl, and Angelina has performed on stage in honor of the pledge she made to her not to sing on stage with shoes on form then on . Angelina has honored that pledge for last 8 years . Angelina takes on a different voice for each song she covers to give homage to the song, and never tries to show off her vocal abilities but always gives each song its due respect. Angelina has a 5 octave range and her low note ability is just mind blowing for a pre-teen or now at just a mere 14 years as of Jan. 10 ,2020.
Angelina can sing any genre and excel at it many times better than the original artist.
one day in future you say "i make a so quick reaction in past for this diva"
Greetings from Norway =)
Well done you for reacting to this, A J is amazing.
Take care. 😄
It is worth mentioning that MJ most likely was underestimated as a musician. He was the king of pop, commercialism and entertainment, but he also had a prodigious understanding of music from an early age. The fact that he wrote commercial music doesn't undermine that. The same also goes for Elton John, who entered The Royal Academy of music at the age of eleven! (Yes you read that correctly). Quincy Jones telling Angelina that she has the same talent as the legend says about everything really. I am not so sure she will have that type career however, sadly it is incredibly difficult to be recognized for your gifts. Talent is just a part of it. But I am hoping the very best for her, and she is on her way to be recognized in the way she deserves, with a lot of devoted fans behind her!
You are so right about Michael Jackson. I grew up with the Jackson 5.
🙏🙏👍👍💙💙
Yeah before I get onto her today when is 13 - 14 I'd recommend her singing of "I'd rather go blind"
I dig the Michael Jackson reference. They are definitely prodigies.
You just witnessed 9 years old Angelina's outstanding tribute to the song's author, the very peculiar Screamin'Jay Hawkins ruclips.net/video/orNpH6iyokI/видео.html
This was just one of her many styles and that growling was solely for this performance. You will hardly hear it again from her.
I hope you dig some more into Angelina because there is a lot more to be seen 😉 Great reaction!
Angelina is not your regular singer. She is many singers in one so keep reacting to her and you will see that she is better than World known singers.
Welcome to the Angelina club. She is 14 years old now and around 6 feet tall.
Angelina is amazing. She sings barefoot because when she was traveling through a poor country when she saw a little girl like her without shoes and she gave her the ones she was wearing. She won't wear shoes when she sings until all children have shoes.
This is the list, in chronological order of many of her songs (from super fan Rusty Shackleford's List):

New subscriber! You gotta listen to more angelina jordan, try allen stone, teddy swims and Diana ankudinova.
She has "good ear" to know the dynamic of song, timbre, etc. Ear only acoustic sensor of human, and the processor is brain. You can learn to to have "good ear". If you have a chance to listen to unplugged music without sound system, go for it. Buy good sound system, the expensive one is not always the better, but usually more expensive is better. Most expensive one can have a price like sport car.
Bimo Tok you just shared some great information!

Only 1 word to describe Angelina that everyone says " WOW!!!"
Warning once you watch her & react you'll be hooked, & there's no cure.
I believe she was put here for such a time as this so that God could use her voice to calm everyone down.
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

I love Angelina, but john fogerty did earlier and...I'll say different. I can love both but prefer the CCR version. Cheers.
Sugestion with same musicians as in I put a spell on you.
Angelina Jordan & band - Jamming on: Portrait of a child ruclips.net/video/80f3t3dmBbk/видео.html
Not a finished track but groovy. And you see who is the boss.
Interesting you mention Michael Jackson. His producer Quincy Jones had the same thought.
She did many more amazing songs. Please react to "Feeling good" (10 year old): ruclips.net/video/p8kAL-sGJx8/видео.html
Quincy Jones has called her the best singer since Michael Jackson
Try this by Angelina: ruclips.net/video/rpdHJJQAd9Y/видео.html This shows her versatility. TRXD · Angelina Jordan - It's probably just opera and rap she has not sung ... PS! This is electronic dance music!
Interesting analysis. Thank you. I have the following Angelina recommendations. You will love any of these.nn
_What is Life_ (Angelina original) ruclips.net/video/Bv0r77KN7RA/видео.html. It's about a little girl's own appreciation of life.
Damn, youtube does not let me post more than one link now.
Get some food and drink, sit down and get comfortable, get ready to knock yourself out... ruclips.net/video/9AomoVr5jmI/видео.html

Please react to her performance of I'll be There. Even though she sang it with a bad cold at age 8, well, you'll see what I mean.
- I'll be there - ruclips.net/video/VJIwvWdoO3o/видео.html - haunting
Only 9 years old here
120 plus songs to go, your going to be busy for a while.
Hey its just a little 9 yr old singing. Sorry it was not a little meek voice that came out of her as its just Angelina.
more songs? .... just fasten your seatbelt you will need to.
Disappointing review. Your prominent thought was that her abilities reminded you of Michael Jackson. That she was music smart like Michael. Not a mention about her precise timing, her range or the simple fact that at 9 years of age, she was the one in charge of the Session from start to finish. My hopes are you will afford her a second look. She is the future.
