Wow! That's the voice that is able to captivate the hearts of many! So beautiful and emotional at the same time. She definitely sang this with so much maturity and understanding. Fantastic public performance and great reaction video!
Hi, Krizz. Thank you for returning to Angelina. She sings with total conviction. So much so that it is easy to believe she has actually experienced the emotions described in the lyrics. Her m,usicology is outstanding. That she can read and understand the true emotional meaning of a song and convey those same emotions to her listener, is an ability few, if any, other singer has. I am in awe of her. Indeed, I have been since I first saw her in 2014.
She is always great but my favourites are her SUSPICIOUS MINDS the one in the antique shop, and when she trialed MOUNT EVEREST at her concert as her opening number
Angelina has short covers she posted on TikTok and Instagram. Many make one want to hear full performance of song. Examples include: ---- When You Believe (song originally sung by Whitney Houston with Mariah Carey. It is from 1998 animated feature The Prince of Egypt. Won Academy Award for Best Original Song. As 16-year old sung shorter version: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Pue8y9avttI.html) ---- House Of The Rising Sun (Originally 1930s folk song. Most famous version by The Animals in 1964 when became hit. Angelina slows it downs. Jazzy with emotions while playing electric guitar in short version: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VQsRqVexLCI.html) ---- Endless Love (Famously sung by Diana Ross and Lionel Richie at 54th Academy Awards in 1982. Released in 1981 and became a hit. As 15-year old, short version sung by Angelina with piano: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VWuU4jMKqLw.html) ---- Fields Of Gold (Written in 1993, one of most famous songs by Sting. Not big commercial success, this modern ballad covered by many artists. As 15 year-old, short version by Angelina with simple guitar is wonderful: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4WwJHHxxHVk.html) ---- Love Is A Game (This is on Adele’s fourth studio album, 30, released in 2021 following her divorce from Simon Konecki. Song itself refers to how she is ready to love again after her divorce and hints at her relationship with new boyfriend, sports agent Rich Paul. As 15-year old, short version by Angelina with piano sounds like recorded in studio rather than at home: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PXbYrvP3v4I.html) ---- Can’t Help Falling In Love With You (This 1961 song by Elvis Presley was on his Blue Hawaii album. Melody was based upon French love song “Plaisir d’amour” that was written in 1784. As 15-year old, short version with Angelina walking down sidewalk while singing song a cappella: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aJ2B-NWWsy0.html) ---- Crazy (Written by Willie Nelson. Became Patsy Cline’s signature hit country music song in 1961. In 1996, Patsy’s version became most played song in jukeboxes in US and in 2003, was inducted into National Recording Registry. As 16-year old, posted her singing song at night in her room sounding studio quality, and is one of best covers of song you will ever hear: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Vjc0riTGiGU.html) ---- Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (Ballad on Elton John’s seventh studio album of same name released in 1973. On Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. As 16-year old, stunning cover singing song in her room playing piano: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RLfzGjYuiMc.html) ================================== Also are mashups of Angelina with either original artist or instrumental band. Some are truly incredible. Examples include: ---- Ain’t No Sunshine [Angelina was 12 years-old. This is Bill Withers classic 1971 R&B hit. Musicians Hank Roberts (great cello), Brian Wilson (drums), Mike Stark (piano) and Anna Coogan (guitar) originally performed song for singer Canen. Mashup was created using Angelina’s simple cover and band making fantastic composition: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JyziJiJ1HYg.html] ---- Crazy (as 12-year old, Angelina sung song live at 2018 Kongsberg Jazz Festival. Mashup of Festival audio and two rehearsal videos with some of best audio/video editing that you will witness and makes it truly look like rehearsal of this Patsy Cline/Willie Nelson 1961 hit country song. Amazing: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RI9s_Qp7X_g.html) ---- I Will Survive (This 1978 disco hit by Gloria Gaynor is mashed with Angelina’s audio-only track. Whenever 35-year old Gloria is shown, she is singing. Whenever 10-year old Angelina is shown, she is singing. Close eyes and literally tough to tell any difference. Mind-blowing: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Nryuk21mXkQ.html) ---- Easy On Me (Angelina was 15-years old when she released cover video of Adele’s latest hit song from 2021. This mashup combines Angelina’s cover and snipets of Adele’s official video of song plus video-only pieces of 9-year old Angelina performing I Put A Spell On You and few frames of Angelina and her grandmother Mery from studio recording of I'm A Fool To Want You by 11-year old Angelina for her album It’s Magic. Tough to tell difference between Angelina’s and Adele’s voices: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OXtRa4FlhMM.html) ---- Back To Black (mashup remix of 10-year old Angelina’s cover video of Back to Black done with KORK orchestra and Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black music video. Snipets of Amy singing compared with Angelina’s voice makes them seem like duplicates of each other: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ly82w_iIrh4.html) ---- All Of Me (Angelina was 13-years old. This mashup shows how Angelina pays homage and is true to original song. Combines Angelina’s home video recording with sophisticated music video of John Legend playing piano and singing his smash hit song with violinist Lindsey Stirling playing accompaniment. Mashup creates virtual duet that seems like it is original recording of Angelina singing duet with John Legend: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i0rSKumJE8s.html) ---- Sign Of The Times (mashup of short cover by 15-year old Angelina with snipets of Harry Styles singing his hit song on his BBC produced TV show Harry Styles At The BBC. This creates a virtual duet that is mind-blowing as one really is given impression that they are singing duet together. Is only 2 minutes long and thus not complete song: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8glJLHUd7uo.html)
Angelina has amazing flexibility as can be witnessed by the following songs: ---- Shield [as 12-year old, Angelina co-wrote song. As 13-year old, sung in artistic video directed by her maternal grandmother Mery Zamani: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m8OCbAlr_48.html. As 13-year old, sung on 7/12/2019 at outdoor concert at Prøysenhuset, Rudshøgda, Norway: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-whH6fnKAooo.html. As 12-year old, sung in club-like venue with same band used for 2018 Kongsberg Jazz Festival: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9sYypd1yGR4.html] ---- I'm Still Holding Out For You (a few days before turning 11-years old, Angelina recorded this demo. This was a cover of Baby FuzZ song. Baby FuzZ was also known by the stage name Sterling Fox. He is Brandon Lowry who has written and produced multiple songs for others including Lana Del Ray, Britney Spears, Avicii, Adam Lambert and Madonna. Angelina’s people did not allow the release of the song because they thought it to be the wrong stylistic choice for her. Baby FuzZ never heard Angelina’s demo until years later. This is a “leaked” version of the song Angelina recorded which at first was blocked by Angelina’s people for fear of copyright infringement issues, but Baby FuzZ really liked the demo and allowed it to stay up on RU-vid: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dv8mjCh5iiE.html) ---- Above The Water [sung by Angelina as 13-year old, and shows her incredible cross genre abilities. She collaborated with Norwegian EDM (Electronic Dance Music) duo TRXD and recorded vocals for song. Amazing unofficial video was created that added some footage of shuffle dancers doing variations of Melbourne Shuffle to the song: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-y6SilwnR2Zc.html] [TRXD is Truls Dyrstad and David Atarodiyan where TRXD represents their names (TRuls X David). In 2020, song was released as audio only track and since has millions upon millions of plays on streaming services. Melbourne Shuffle originated in Melbourne, Australia, in underground rave scene. Although not exactly known when Melbourne Shuffle was developed (probably in mid to late 1980s), it supposedly was first shown publicly in TV interview by Ruppert Keller in 1990. Dance eventually took off and has become very popular in mainstream EDM festival scene, practiced by millions of EDM fans all over world. EDM is so popular that there is a website dedicated to news about it. This song would be played by disc jockeys at a dance location as rave means a lively party or gathering involving dancing and drinking. This 3-hour video New Year Mix 2022 - Best of EDM Party Electro House & Festival Music gives you an excellent look at EDM and the millions of people who love it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gQlUknjUX0I.html] ---- I Will Survive (as 10-year old, Angelina again hits it out of the park, in another new music genre: disco! This is only disco song to win Grammy. In 2016, Library of Congress deemed Gloria Gaynor's original recording to be "culturally, historically, or artistically significant" and selected it for preservation in National Recording Registry: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ma7sa_n7k-8.html) ---- Song For A [as 13-year old, Angelina sung with music by modern classical composer Nico Cartosio. It can be described as musical poetry. Lyrics come from poem by Robert Burns. Song was written specifically for Angelina as part of mostly instrumentals album Melting (8 instrumentals plus Song For A). Album was recorded at famous Abbey Road studio and released in April 2019: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Bo3mhxPM-uA.html]
You've been missing a lot if you haven't reacted to Angelina in a year. Try any of these you haven't done. Angelina's knowledge and understanding of these classics. Her musical historical knowledge and again understanding is immeasurable. Angelina has studied and listened to these classics on repeat since she was at least 3 yrs old. Her knowledge and comprehension of this music history is far more exhaustive than any average person alive today. She is the truest student of this history as her grasp of and ability to convey this very essence of these classics to the audience is unmatched. ♥👣👸🏻🎷 My list. Only the Best.

Welcome back Krizz, & awesome reaction to (16) Angie. You've missed so much. Here I'll link you up. “I have nothing” by Whitney Houston ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iX0g99jN26U.html Official cover. Looks like David even gave her the rights to her version of the song. Dropped 7-23-22. She’s 16. I love how Angie put in some of her jazzy back phrasing & R&B in it also “Suspicious Minds” (Elvis Presley cover) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RTbKhkceR00.html Official cover Angie released this on 6-21-22. Angie is 16 here. Love all of Angie's nods to Elvis, also his wife Priscilla (hair) & daughter Lisa Marie & Angie growing up too. “Crazy” by Patsy Cline ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QOrcx0OZx-w.html Angie’s 7-1-22 Norway concert “Mount Everest” by Labrinth covered by Angelina live in concert at Kongsberg Norway 7-7-22 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DYVxnY06BWw.html (Listen to the original 1st then Angie’s) “Million Miles” by Angelina Jordan ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-joKQeVbThzE.html Live 7-7-22 at Kongsberg. (Angie wrote this after her grandpa died in 2019 during the filming of AGT-C)This live version was so amazing, This should be a good start. ( Angie’s also had 3 concerts are 7-1-22 in Kurbadhagen, 7-7-22 at Kongsberg & 7-10-22 again at Kurbadhagen. Angie had a lot of fun & so did the fans. (Mattias Axelsson, Vidar Enerud, Kathrine Angeltveit & Trond Andersen are good channels to start with. They have some good recordings & video's).
Sadly, Angelina’s paternal grandfather died in March 2018 and her maternal grandfather died in November 2019. Angelina’s maternal grandmother Mery Zamani has had tremendous influence on Angelina and her career as she introduced Angelina to jazz at early age. Mery is somewhat famous Iranian contemporary writer, poet and painter who was also child prodigy herself being on Radio Iran's Children program at age 4 and began writing poetry and painting by age of 9. Later Mery was trained in art at Tokyo Academy in Japan where she met her Japanese husband, during her master degree's training in Japan. There is ten-year old video showing some of Mery's artwork in home setting: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i9NxX0tSjS0.html ---- Mery has RU-vid channel that supports Angelina called Angelina Jordan Fanclub Mosarz: ru-vid.com/show-UChM_lpT4shdnsez93QMJPig. There are lots of videos in it that could only have been taken by insider or family member. Mery is also widely known under artist alias name Mosarz ---- Mery illustrated book "Mellom to hjerter" (Between Two Hearts) that Angelina wrote and was published in November 2015 when Angelina was 9 years-old and became youngest published author in Norway. Book based on Angelina's diary/notebooks and describes her meeting with shoeless girl. Podcast was published by Angelina’s publisher, Cappelen Damm, in November 2015. In it Angelina talks with Erling Kittelsen, Norwegian author and poet and friend of family, about her book. Angelina tells of her understanding with little girl that Angelina will not wear shoes when she performs and that little girl will pray for Angelina. During pauses in talk, we hear small extracts from book which should be on children's reading list: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6p6iL989P_8.html There are three published Angelina videos created and directed by Mery: ---- Fly Me To The Moon (as 10-year old, sung with acoustic guitar in one of her most viewed videos: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jnnzbdt4_RE.html) ---- When You're Smiling (as 11-year old, starts out with her missing school attendance. She is riding bike and comes across sad girl crying and stops to see what is wrong. You will have to watch to see what happens next: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bLuNQ6s7fCQ.html) ---- Shield (as 12-year old, Angelina co-wrote this song. As 13-year old, Mery did artistic video of Angelina singing song: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m8OCbAlr_48.html) [you reacted on July 22, 2020 when Angelina as 12-year old, sung on very popular Scandinavian talk show Skavlan (2.5 to 3 million viewers per show)] [In interview (changes to English at about 0:36 mark) before Angelina sung on Skavlan, paraphrasing, she said that when she sings she goes into endless other world that is full of happiness. She said that song Shield is about someone you love and whose strong love protects you wherever you are. Angelina said song's sound was inspired by Bond films. Her favorite Bond film songs are Diamonds Are Forever and Goldfinger. She sings few bars of Diamonds Are Forever a cappella. She said that highlight of her career was singing for Quincy Jones' 85th birthday concert in London. When asked if she feels like she is 12 years old, Angelina says she only does when she looks at her passport: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-97hjWg4ToRQ.html] [as 13-year old, sung on 7/12/2019 at outdoor concert at Prøysenhuset, Rudshøgda, Norway: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-whH6fnKAooo.html. As 12-year old, sung in club-like venue with same band used for 2018 Kongsberg Jazz Festival: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9sYypd1yGR4.html] ---- Million Miles (co-wrote as 14-year old. Produced by Stargate. There are four video versions. Audio only: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2D9qvBfx47s.html. Studio live performance: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3KxvwuZ7oEM.html. Official music video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XA1_CUaM52I.html) [you reacted on November 25, 2020 to video of audio with lyrics using Mery’s and Angelina’s paintings as background] [Angelina said: "This song is dedicated to anyone who has lost a loved one. I wrote this song thinking about all the great memories I had with my grandpa and how much it hurts to lose someone. I hope this song finds a place in your heart, as it comes straight from mine."] ---- 7th Heaven (co-wrote as 15-year old. Produced by Stargate. There are four video versions. Audio with lyrics that uses Mery’s painting Rows of Angels as background: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o4Vl3I1WWq4.html. Audio only with last measure slightly different from studio version: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-N0yK_07a1_U.html. Studio live performance with last measure slightly different: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bM8DzMRbiIc.html. Official music video that uses audio only soundtrack: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9rLiWvwzbCA.html) [Stargate is Norwegians Tor E. Hermansen and Mikkel S. Eriksen and based in LA. They have won 4 Grammy Awards. They also worked with Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Celine Dion, Sam Smith, Katy Perry, Whitney Houston, and others] [Angelina said: “The initial idea for ‘7th Heaven’ was that I love the number 7, and ‘heaven’ is such a powerful word and makes you dream away. I collaborated with Stargate to create ‘7th Heaven’. The background story of making this song was that I had this melody that I played for Tor and Mikkel and it turned out that they loved the idea and it went pretty smooth from there to the finished song. We definitely tried many different elements to feel the right sound to it.”] [Angelina believes: “Life has ups and downs, and you always have to be ready for whatever is coming up. The song is a reminder to look at everything in a positive light and not get down on yourself. Most importantly-no matter what you’re doing-don’t give up. It’s also meant to make you dance.”] [Angelina tells how studio video will look: “The visual will look something like old school meets new school kinda vibe to it. I love the styles they had before and I want to bring it back again.”] [Angelina revealed that she is often inspired to create music from personal pain: “Strong emotions, mainly painful ones, often make me write music.”]
Thank you for the great reaction. Just a note to you, the background noise on the video just about drowns out her singing...seems to be an issue. Cheers.
