Angelina Jordan Destroys Me!! - Bohemian Rhapsody Reaction!! 

Angelina's magic for me: I am 56 years old, love music, never like any jazzy stuff. I came upon Angelina by accident. Now I can't get enough of that soulful voice. I look at songs with a jazzy twist with new eyes. I also listen to the originals and think, really beautiful song. Then I listen to Angelina and I FEEL every word and emotion. She is truly magical and amazing.

what i see and feel.....her humbleness, her super family love and support, and so much more...i am 81 and she is great for my blood pressure....i have seen singers for many years, and she is a WOW above all others.......super reaction.....

Why people are attracted to her singing - Of course, her perfect pitch… her range… her tone…richness and low register are all pleasing. But what makes her different is that when she sings, she strikes a chord that synchronizes with a chord in your soul , and elicits an emotional response from your very corps. How many times have you teared up?! ( Look at all who are listening in tears - with no idea as to why they are crying!!!) Or how many times have you been filled with a warmth?! Or how many times have you caught your breath?! Or found yourself smiling while listening?! Everyone recognizes her gift, and feels her in their soul.

What makes Angelina special, is EVERY cover she sings, she makes it her own. It's like it was made for her. It's like she renews it. Also...she does the arrangements of the songs

Angelina, to me, is so full of an amazing soul and it all shines trough in her singing. She is a genius regarding music and that show in her arranging all her songs herself, simple, perfect and soulfull

Angelina's interview...."Because it is fun to sing for everybody and well .....I love singing". Angelina's ability to convey emotions is well...just beyond reproach.

Discovering Angelina Jordan was the best thing that happened to me in 2020...!

When she sings... I FEEL the depth of meaning to EVERY word and EMOTION... Angelinas voice always evokes a spiritual connection ✨️

For me, I always have this feeling that Angelina is not only channeling some of these late great singers, but that they also pass through her, when she is singing their song, & is why she can capture the true spirit of the original singer ❤💙I have also been often, lost for words, when trying to describe Angelina Jordan's unique vocals, & I still cannot express, or even come to terms, with what my ears are hearing, most times, but the one thing I do know, is when I hear her voice, it always touches my soul, & can make me feel things I didn't even know existed!!! To me, that is her gift, & what makes her, not only a phenomenal singer, but an incredible soulful artist 💝 *SHE TRULY IS A GIFT* 💝A rare beauty, in every sense of the word ❤💙 Loved your reaction!!!

She sings from her heart straight into your very soul. Her ability to give that emotional reaction to the story she's giving us is truly truly beautiful ❤️!

Every single song Angelina sings is super emotional and she gives it her all on every single song.

Angelina is the human jukebox from back in the day and she brings out YOUR emotions to the song she is singing

You can be a master of many things, spend a life time devoted to learning and understanding every detail of the attributes you love, Yet In just a fraction of a moment be fallen to ones knees. Seeing a natural born ability dwell within the soul of a child.

I have seen this clip at least 20 times and there I was I again with tears streaming down my face as you were. Don't you think Angelina's ability to access our emotional center is remarkable. Nobody has had this effect on me ever. I read somewhere that she once said that when she sings she goes to another place. This explains the lack of nerves and the composure. Also when she was a child you can see her go to the zone while performing but before and after she is just a lovely unpretentious little girl. I think her access to our hearts is the thing that sets her apart. She is working through a perfect instrument coming from a place of total authenticity.

It's hard to understand how a child can convey emotions from experiences she's never encountered. But here's the thing. She often gives me overwhelming feelings of sweet nostalgia for experiences I'm unsure I've ever had.

She is magical because through her I feel intensely every deep emotion I have ever known with all the original joy, and pain decade by decade. She is an honorable reflection of life.

What makes her different? Beyond her obvious technical abilities and unique tone, it is the ability to emit emotion. She makes you feel. So many covers that she does that I never really knew what the song was about till Angelina sang it to me. She is the artist that spontaneously brings tears to my eyes. No others do. She has hundreds of thousands Angels, yet I am the only one she is singing to. You probably feel the same.

The tenderness in the voice and presence of this girl. Humble with a heart of gold comes through. We are seeing something special here.

She is pure,untouched by this world,has protective family.Humble.

What makes Angelina unique? Wow, how do I keep this under 1,000 words? At the core, she is the best interpreter of lyrics I’ve ever heard-period. That comes through in everything she sings. Secondly, her voice is unique and immediately recognizable for multiple reasons-her tone, her rasp, her rich lower register, the many vocal textures, and her innate musicality that guides her to never overuse that bottomless vocal toolkit she can open so effortlessly. Also, you’ve heard three songs all in a jazzy/bluesy vein. That’s in her bones, but her ability to kill songs in so many other genres will stun you. Her voice can be mesmerizing like today, or upbeat, but listening to Angelina give us soul and melancholic ballads will bring you to tears-again. There are so many recommendations, but two that show her differently from what you’ve heard: A Million Years Ago is an Adele cover when she was 12 that no one, including Adele (whom I love), ever needs to sing again. And at some point, you will watch her impromptu cover of the Etta James classic, I’d Rather Go Blind. It’s Angelina having some fun, but giving us jaw-dropping 1960’s soul that other singers would never even attempt. She’s 12 for that one too, sitting on her sofa with just her mic and a musical track, leaving you speechless.

She makes a personal connection with her audience. Her arrangement of creating her own style!🤟💕

One aspect of Angelina other worldly talents is she is an outstanding story teller. Add in her advanced intuition and her hyper sensitive sense of feel for the emotional content of the lyrics and you have a once in a lifetime extraordinarily talented musical prodigy.

She does all her own arranging. Genius Ancient Soul

Some people say she must be an old soul. Maybe that’s true, but what gets overlooked is the fact that small children experience more raw, overwhelming, and intense emotions than at pretty much any other time in their lives. Angelina gave a voice to these emotions, feelings that most people suppress and forget about. Then the tragedy occurs when adults dismiss the emotions of children as immature. For me, Angelina’s voice puts me in direct touch with my emotions in a way that makes me feel more connected to the rest of humanity.

Hello from New Zealand. For me I can hear all the words when Angelina is singing and I can "feel " the emotion in Angelina's voice

She’s magical because she make me feel emotions with every song she sings no matter the subject matter, he voice transports me, literally, I drift

She has the ability to sing straight into your heart and soul

Here is an example of what the magic is like: I've now listened to this song at least 1500 times and when you were fighting back the tears I was doing the same thing. Why? Not only because she just performed a MASTERPIECE but because I was so happy to see she touched your heart. Throw out the age factor, there is no one like her. Her soulfulness transitions into love when we hear her sing. One of her desires in life is to do what she can to make the world a better place to live for everyone and she understands that will be impossible unless we begin to love one another. In reality she is singing FOR US and most (if not all ) of us will attest to the fact we are better people because of her love in our hearts. So, the process has started and I believe there will be a day when everyone knows who Angelina Jordan is and she will play a leading role in making the world a better place to live for all. Magic? Reality, yes!

Understanding Angelina's "magic"? It is the nature of the human mind to analyze and compare experiences; to strive to find the right words to describe and characterize. There are many words that can be used to describe Angelina's unique vocal qualities.: the rich, full, smokey sound; the incredible range; the control; the amazing vibrato; the intelligence that informs her phrasings and note choices; and on and on... But these are not what make me cry (often) when hearing Angelina sing. When we speak of magic, it's because we realize that words are not enough to adequately describe what's going on here. What makes me cry is not that i am feeling any particular emotion. I am moving through a space of endless emotion. I cry because I am confronted with a beauty that is transcendent, so beyond my experience and expectation that my mind is lost. It's like coming home. I cry and I feel grateful.

Queen liked this performance so much that they posted it on their Twitter account and said " Wow , what a rendition " and even gave her permission to copyright her version. A couple of months after this Angelina did a Tribute to Freddie Mercury with a cover of " The Show Must Go On " . When Queen saw that performance they commented that Angelina can cover any of our songs that she wants to because " NO ONE DOES IT BETTER " !! What sets The Barefoot Princess apart is that she is a very empathetic individual and when she arranges a song she brings out the feelings behind it that you never knew were there . This makes her totally unique in the music industry.

She actually got permission from Queen to copyright this version. It's on Spotify. Magical? Because she is a light in the world. She wrote a book on why she is always barefoot. She has gotten millions of dollars donated to good causes. She is like the Pied Piper trying to be and lead people in a positive direction. Her original '7th Heaven' reveals alot about her personality. I love your reactions! ❤️

We have watched this beautiful child growing up.She is able to understand empathetically the emotion of a song and convey that to us. Sometimes you hear the lyrics truely for the first time (billy jean). Sometimes you cry but end up feeling healed. The voice is unique and beautiful but it is her lovely soul that shines through, that we are protective of, and worry about in this hard world. We see a precious rare, beautiful person. We want her to flourish.

Here are some things that make Angelina magical for me: She hit the physiological jackpot. The elements that influence how we speak and sing (i.e. larynx, pharynx, vocal folds, sinus cavities, facial bone structure, lungs) all came together in Angelina at birth in such a way that gives her the very unique vocal timbre she has. As she has grown, her timbre has become richer and richer. Next, her ears. I have never heard it confirmed whether or not she has absolute (perfect) pitch but, if she doesn’t, she has phenomenal relative pitch. Her ability to listen to other singers and musicians, pick up their tiniest musical characteristics and nuances, and incorporate them seamlessly into her vocal toolbox is astounding. Next, her brain. It is obvious that she is extremely intelligent, evidenced, in part, by the number of languages she speaks, instruments she plays and the way she communicates with people. Then there are the intangibles. Among them are the nurturing she has received since birth by her family, friends and people in “the business”, her world view due to her travels and interactions with people all over the globe, and her personal philosophy about life that guides her in everything she does. Angelina is a very unique and special person. It is her world. We just live in it!

A couple of vocal specialists have commented on the unique anatomy that forms her instrument, her long neck, large larynx and wide face. A number of younger videos show her rolling her eyes back at times and accessing her inner world whilst singing. There is something amazingly intuitive about her. And so .... through a wondrous coalescence of genetics, heartfelt empathy, prodigious musicality, loving family and creative schooling, a rare and beautiful angel has appeared to bless the world with her gifts! An emotive, dedicated and truly captivating singer, with music as her high art!

The magic is the paradox between her talent and her humility as a genuine human being. Unseen in most artists. When she performs, it's never about her. It's always about making the song work for the audience. When covering a song, she only strives for the perfect rendition. That's it. Not for fame or recognition. That is her true Magic!

Highly skilled and fearless at a level not possible for someone that young. She has no equal. Best ever. Period. And she's adorable.

Angelina is a prodigy and much more she has a heart of gold and has worked diligently to help with children's needs and environmental things all before the age of 16, she gave her shoes to a poor child when she was the age of 4 or 5 and was the youngest author in Norway with the story about why she performs without shoes. She is a gift from the universe and we are fortunate to experience her becoming a superstar.

Agree with your awesome reaction! I've been saying from the beginning, it's like she takes the best Nuances from Top Tier Artists and Songs and puts it in her Music Tool Box. Her Tool Box has more than anyone on The Planet and not only being a Musical Genius, She has the Unique Out of this World Tone. To learn more and try to understand about Angelina Jordan need to listen to Alan Papier. He has 2 channels, 1 is kind of a history of the songs Angelina chooses to sing and how she changes them. The other is a Podcast where he has different Artist or reactors discussing the effect Angelina has on them, trying to figure out has she does it. She is only Artist that has Reactors dedicated to her only, God Bless!

Angelina's magic : heartfelt empathy From the start of Angelina's journey there has been an emphasis of her feeling what she sings. She has spoken of going into another world when she sings. Then she draws you into that world sometimes without realizing what's happening and the tears flow like never before, leaving you confused and grateful for the experience.

I'm 58 and everytime I listen to Angelina sing it evokes memories and emotions I never expect. I look on as a proud parent would.

I had more tears in the first three days of listening to Angelina than in the 56 preceding years combined.

All you need to do to know why she is magical is to listen to her sing!!

When you react to Bohemian Rhapsody take notice during her performance they highlight audience members in the front row. That is Angelina's Family. From left to right Her uncle and manager Michael Astar, her little sister Juliette, her mother Sarah Astar and her grandmother Mery Zamani. Notice her little sister crossing her fingers as the performance starts and later her mother wipe tears from her eyes. Also remember she said she had waited 10 years to sing for Simon. When she was 3 years old she was begging her mother to go on 'that Simon show'. A child prodigy who started singing Whitney Houston at 1 & 1/2, Won Norway’s Got Talent at 8 yrs old singing Billy Holiday's 'Gloomy Sunday', 'I'm a Fool to Want You' a cappella, 'Bang, Bang' by Nancy Sinatra and 'Summertime' by George Gershwin! She fulfilled one of her childhood wishes when she sang for the Nobel Peace Prize Concert at 8, her second wish that you soon watch was to sing for that 'Simon Show" that she expressed at 3 yrs old when she sang on America's Got Talent 'The Champions' at 13 yrs old singing the most beautiful rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody ever created! She has sung for Quincy Jones & Barak Obama among many others and raised millions for Children Charities and Climate Change! No theatrics here, simply the most soulful interpretation of a song and an ability to convey that emotion right down to your very soul! She has made many grown men cry! Buckle up, you're going to need it! She is 16 as of Jan 10th this year and has just released her second original with Republic Records after being protected to allow her to grow up and when they got a deal that gave her 100 % control over her art. The true GOAT in my opinion! She was 9 when singing a song by Screamin Jay Hawkins on the candle from 1956. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nwFloCPXzCs.html She started studying all the Greats of Jazz at 3yrs old on u-tube. What little girl studies Jazz at that age? The one & only Angelina Jordan, The Velvet Voice of the Barefoot princess of Jazz! I would love to see you start with one of her most recent.

And you can see her journey knowing her age at the time she sang it and where she was at that point in her and our journey. Another must view is 'Fly My to the Moon' on 'The View' at 8 yrs old & was my favorite among her half dozen versions because of the shear cuteness and her masterful phrasing! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nBGMQ9Kx9iI.html Rusty's playlist starts with her first visit to the studio at 6yrs old!

What makes her special, what sets her apart? One word "Duende". Her inspiration and passion, own the room.

It’s how she wraps her words around the emotions, and it is always a journey. You just sit and wait for it. It’s like a ride at an amusement park. When she starts, she pulls you to the edge of your seat then there’s the build up and swell of anticipation, and finally the release which can bring you to tears. Many times, you continue with the tears and chills as she brings you back down and gently delivers you to the end of the ride. And every time you hear it, it is just as joyful as the first.

Queen posted her performance on twitter sayin "Wow what a rendition of bohemian rhapsody"

This might be late on this video but I figured I might have a say about our barefoot princess. Oh my gosh! What makes her magical you say? Why I am a hardcore fan of her? She sings for us, and it's not only about her or her popularity, she does it for us. And she enjoys singing, she's humble and stays grounded and very appreciative of her fans that like her, rather than look at fans as if they are a number. She's a humanitarian and that adds to the mixture of why people like her, but they can't figure out why they like her so much. "All that" accompanied with her amazing vocal capabilities and very emotive storytelling is what makes Angelina Jordan way above others in the music industry. I know you said in the previous video that someone like this comes around in a decade, I'd say century and still to me she is the best of all time, hands down. My only hope is that she stays this way and fame doesn't ruin her or the people that she comes in contact with. The music business is dangerous for any artist, you must be way ahead of them. I just hope and pray 🙏🏻 ie. All the above is my explanation of my beliefs as to why a lot of people keep asking themselves, "why does she make me feel this way" "She is just singing" or "Why do I get so emotional when listening to her". All the answers are above as I explained and the mixture of things that makes you feel that way.

She touches my soul, and always takes me on a journey.

She once said, that when she sings she is in a better place. She manage to bring everyone that listen to hear to that place, more than anyone else can. It's not only that she is a great singer, she got the ability to really feel the music and to make the audience feel it too. Bring them to that special place.

I am rapidly approaching my 91st birthday and have listened to thousands of singers in my lifetime. I discovered Angelina shortly after her performance of Gloomy Sunday was uploaded to RU-vid in 2014 and for some time tried to find suitable adjectives to understand Angelina's uniqueness and the way her singing affected me emotionally. It was hurting my brain so much until I realised that there was only one word which adequately "ticked all the boxes". Just saying "Angelina" was the key to complete understanding.

When ANGELina was 3 y.o she saw Simon C. as judge in one of his shows, and she asked her mother; I wanna sing for him, can I? "Oh no, you're way too young" said her mother. Fast forward to 7 y.o. she attends NGT and blows us Norwegians away, and wins NGT. Excactly 10 after she first saw S,C, she gets a phone call from AGT champions. So careful what you wish for 😉 Heidi Klum gave her free ticket to the finals, and her second song was "Yellow Brick Road" by Elton John. Maybe an odd choice of song, but it became almost a poetic justice song, where it sounds like she's adresses the music industry. But AGT Champs was deffo a springboard further, and made her and her team land her a record deal, w a label that would help and allow her to be herself and take time to finnish school and do things more her own tempo.

You asked what makes Angelina so magical, so here goes: If it was just one thing it could be... 1 Her honest love of others. Why she's barefoot when she performs etc. 2 Her ability at such an early age to play piano, violin, guitar and flute. 3 The vocal range to preform in any genre. 4 Her arrangements of covers to give a better rendition of most to reach the audience. 5 The emotional reach in all of her music, you felt it in this one as we saw it. 6 The true variable your demeanor takes when hearing her voice. 7 There is so much more though when you put all this together in one package how can you not see the magic... Enjoyed your reaction as always, please catch some of her interviews and maybe before you jump into her current or even her own that she's written look back to at 10/11/12 when she was doing concerts. There are so many more performances when she was at NGT such as: acapella I'm a fool to want you, Bang Bang and Summertime. Then even at AGT with Yellow Brick Road. There are so many in between and I love them all... Have a great day!

@P.C: The very first time I saw and heard Angelina was in 2014 when her first audition at Norway's Got Talent was made public and that performance actually made me cry. Over the years, several things seem to be true. (1) Angelina is someone we all enjoy looking at. (2) She seems to be humble and ever respectful of her audiences -- her practice of executing a curtsy at the end of a song, for example. (3) She seems unafraid and exudes the kind of confidence we all wish we had. (4) She is the master of the slow build-up in her arrangements. (5) We get the feeling her songs are telling us something, not just moving air. (6) She is beyond masterful in the way she can control her breath and the sounds she makes. (7) Her music seems to hit all one's chakra points (if you believe in that sort of thing). Put all those together and they make for quite some individual.

Angelina came into my life a week after winning NGT, and when I lost the most precious being in my life a few months later, her voice kept me from going to a very dark place. I am truly grateful for having this artist/musician/singer/empath as my “go to anchor”. Whenever, and whatever, I listen to anything she sings, I feel PEACE foremost, but also happiness. Best I can describe it. Very good reaction, you’re getting there!

I think there are four components and one mystery that contribute to Angelina's amazing artistry: 1) She has the anatomical structure that creates pleasing overtones; 2) She has a gift for mimicry, which allows her to quickly learn vocal effects and techniques; 3) She has a supportive family and a grandmother who encourages her art; 4) She focuses on her craft and works hard. The mystery of her art is how she's able to deliver an authentic emotional reading of a song, a skill also found in great actors. I'll recommend her cover of Billie Jean in her own arrangement as a great recent recording; for younger stuff, you HAVE to listen to I'm Still Holding Out For You, which was going to be a demo release for her but her family had some issues with the lyrical content. Keep bringing the great reactions, PC!

Angelina wanted to impress Simon and got the highest praise from the remaining members of the legendary Queen . Queen are enthusiastic about Angelina's arrangement. Queen shared Angelina's performance on their official Twitter account with the words "WOW, what a rendition". 💯 *AJ* 💯 BTW, Angelina released her version of Bohemian Rhapsody on January 24th, 2020 under her own record label ANGELINA JORDAN INC. 🤗🤗

I've been an Angelina addict since 2016 and still haven't figured out what the 'it' is regarding Angelina. All I know is that in over 60 years of listening to music, no singer has ever affected me the way she does. If you do figure it out, please let me know. 😎

Bro Angelina’s voice reaches out and touches your soul. There are really no words. She is a very special talent….

Angelina has been arranging her own music since she was 8 years old.

For me, Angelina makes me feel the song she is singing. Yes she has a phenomenal voice, but she doesn't sing just to show off that talent, unlike so many other singers. You can tell when an artist is singing just to show off. I have never gotten that vibe from Angelina. She just instinctively knows how to sing to convey the meaning of the words. Some artists sing just to hear the accolades (I was one of those when young and therefore stopped singing because I felt I was singing for the wrong reasons) Angelina sings because she loves music and wants others to feel that same love. I hear that in every note she sings. I just can't get enough of her voice!

Girl with 1000 voices It is hard to describe the genius of what she does. You will see it better after watching her sing more. As for explaining what it is that makes her soo special good luck. You can only feel it by listening to her.

I don't know about other people, but for me she really 'grabbed' me with Gloomy Sunday. Short after it went viral! Like so many people I was speechless. I grew up with the music of Billie Holiday, who for me was a force on her own. The tessitura of Billie H is small and the timbre a bit childlike, but what she could do with her inflections and adjusting melodies, evoking so much melancholy, was unique! So I thought, but than I found out that Angelina at age 7 could sound just like her in every aspect. And it wasn't just mimicking. The whole melancholy came with it!!! And the timing and the blue notes. Always thought I could here the darkness of American racism (KuKuxKlan era) and her tragic live in the voice of Billie Holiday, which made her music so sad. But when Angelina sings those songs, it's like she found her own sadness (which children can have strongly) and connected it in her singing. If you watch her she looks like a cute precious angel of a child, but when you hear her sing something really deep draws your attention. She moved me so much even I cried. Mix of feeling the sadness, my amazement and the admiration. Soon found out she could do a whole lot of styles and as you said: she absorbed the voices of many singers. Even male! The way she sang Summertime in that same NGT-show, was again fantastic! How can such a young child even keep tempo on those slow songs? And even better: have superb timing and phrasing? And how can she feel the music and the lyrics so on point! + the warm sound of her voice, + her tastefulness .... She has got it all and following her journey it got better and better and richer aso! Besides that she is the sweetest person ever (so far) and it's just such a good thing that her parents keep her feet on the ground and slow her down. Finish school first, not too many live performances (also due to the pandemic). One more thing: there is something about her voice and appearance that she can turnaround the roles, in a sense that she is young enough to be a daughter or a granddaughter who you would like to give some guidance and if she need it comfort. But I've seen so many times and red in the comments that she is the one that comforts people and supports them. Many older people that is, but more and more younger! Seems like people get addicted to her voice, as if it's healing! I have to admit I almost listen daily to her! So fun to see other people discover her and get also amazed and speechless and moved!

I discovered Angelina on this particular show after being here specifically for someone else. After hearing her sing I had to learn everything I could about her. I eventually found there were about 130 videos, I worked my way through them within a 2 week period. I am retired. She became my favorite singer, and I listen to her everyday for over 2 years now. Angelina is one of a kind, so far no one is duplicating Angelina. Thumbs up sir.

What makes her so magical to me is a combination of many things. Obviously there's her vocal skills, way up there. Then there's her timing and taste, absolutely legendary level. She is extremely grounded, has a lot of integrity and a beautiful personality. Also, no other artist makes me emotional time after time. I'm also very fascinated by the fact that all these gifts has materialized at such a young age. It gives her a flying start for what probably will be her top years around 30-40 years of age, and it makes me proud and happy when she shows new development. But finally what makes her stand out from everybody else is her tone, which is unique and also the best sounding voice I've ever heard. I think I get emotinal over her because of a combination of her displaying her musical genius and the tone. A good song also helps.

Angelina use her beautiful voice and immense talent as a vessel for the song, and it is a solid enough vessel to carry an enormous amount of emotion. Many artists add bells and whistles to showcase themselves, and I am sure Angelina does that to some degree as well, but it feels like everything she does are there to support the message and emotions of the song.

Wait till you hear here her now She isFantastic and gets better all the time,can’t wait until herAlbum comes out.Enjoyed your reaction You the rest of love I of her FRANCES from Scotland xx

It all begins with who Angelina is as a person. She is humble, almost to a fault, and filled with empathy. Her story of why she always performs barefoot provides proof. Angelina, no doubt, was born with an ear for music that very few are blessed with. I believe she digests every song she listens to and instantly has her own arrangement for it. Angelina, I think, completely embodies each song she sings and the music comes from her soul. She has the ability to convey that deep emotion to the listener. The podcast about how Angelina's music makes us feel, is properly named "Wrapped In a Warm Blanket" and I was honored to be a guest. Season One of the podcast was audio only and this year, Season Two includes video and is on RU-vid.

Super intelligent analysis ! She is definitely a product of her jazz influenced background ! She is developing her own style as she matures ! Her timbre is so unique to her and is inherent in all of her songs ! She is a great student and an extremely good listener in that she is able to study a song, stay true to the original and then add her own vocal treatment to make it uniquely hers ! That takes a hard work ,dedication and passion for this to be achieved for sure ! Angelina is fearless, sincere and dedicated to her craft from an early age ! She knows what she wants to sound like and works extremely hard to achieve this ! Angelina from an early age has been given the freedom to explore her voice and experiment with it ! Jazz gave her the opportunity to sing this way and in many ways gives her voice a wide range of sounds to play with ! Her low register certainly helps her in jazz performances ! Her vibrato is very natural and is so good ! Her raspy and breathy sounds really add to her total package ! Most importantly she is driven to be the very best she can be and understands what is necessary to achieve her goals! Tremendously supported family and Republic Records is letting her develop at her own pace ! Only 16 and sounds like a seasoned professional ! She can sing most anything and probably sing the phonebook and make it sound fabulous ! I appreciate you for taking this journey as so many of us have ! Thank you and keep posting as it is so much appreciated ! Much thanks from Canada ! 👍😃🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️

crying to Angelina is very typical on people reacting to her. She can infuse feelings to any song. She pays tribute to the lyrics like no one else. And she has lots of tools to be used with ease. Her breathing is incredible. She can hold notes forever.

You asked about Angelina's magic . . . I just appeared on a podcast that will premiere soon in which we discussed that question for 40 minutes. In a nutshell, IMO, you are getting closer to an answer. Yes, Angelina is able to internalize the best musical influences and emote *_true emotions_* in her songs in a way others can't. She described her process this way in an interview: Interviewer: "When I see you on stage, who do you feel you become?" Angelina: "When I sing, I go to another world. In the world, it's like endless, full of happiness and I love ... it's amazing. When I'm on stage, I don't want to go. I just want to be on the stage." Angelina went on to say that it has always been that way for her. That implies that she was naturally blessed with this "wiring" that few if any others are. That in addition to her great voice, technique, hard work and musicality it has given us a once-in-a-lifetime vocal artist who can connect with her soul directly to your soul -- if you are open to it. Let me ask you . . . why do you think you were crying at the end of her song? I suggest that she took your soul on a gentle journey from the despair of her belt to the peace of that emotion being felt and resolved at the end (nothing really matters). In doing so, she let you know, in your soul, that it is safe and good to feel pent-up emotions -- so that you can let them go and move on in life without that "emotional baggage" weighing you down. Thus, as many describe it, one feels "wrapped in a warm blanket" when listening to an Angelina Jordan song. If you really want more answers you will probably want to listen to the "Wrapped in a Warm Blanket /Angelina Jordan podcasts at ru-vid.com/show-UCakc2QtPe7ztSlU929ndCEw

You asked the 1000 dollar question, what makes her special? From your reaction I think you are starting to get it. For you, I may add.. We can all find something exctraordinary in her. 🤗 It is all about the music, and the message in each song. She is so humble, but confident in what she is doing. With a band she is not promoting herself. When the music has a solo she turns towards the musician, drawing the attention away from her. She is just whole wood..🙂

Won Norway at 7 yrs old. You need to see I Put a Spell on You at age 8. She magically draws you in. She tells stories with her song.

Great reaction my friend my friend, ; ) This is why i subscribed, ur understanding of Angelina how u put words to our Angels thoughts really like that ; ) What Angelina does to me is her incredible musical understanding, combined with that instrument of an voice has she has , That is just pure MAGIC ; )) have a good one my friend , take care an stay safe ; ))

Tone, control, empathy and musicality. Always humble verging on shy when she’s not performing, but always confidently enjoying singing.

Here is a humble, world class talent that wants to share her love with the world and help the poor children of the world. She shares her practice sessions, takes risks in her performances and is generally fearless. Someone worthy of respect and admiration. Only public figure I have ever been a fan of.

Answering what makes her magical as a singular answer, is folly. Its like picking one part of the multitude of her unique vocal abilities as what makes her voice special. It is the totality that makes her magical.

Why do we love and adore Angelina? (my take) * Outstanding VOCALIST that delights our ears - rich timbre and voice colors, pitch perfect, great dynamic range with exceptional low register and belting, unique vibrato and runs, gorgeous jazzy inflections and phrasing, and much more. * Phenomenal ARTIST that touches our heart - exceptional storyteller and evocative communicator, placing the song in the center with unique arrangements and creative delivery that takes us on a journey that is both soothing and emotional. Selecting and creating high quality songs. Reaches our core (and gives us goosebumps) * Inspirational HUMAN BEING who speaks to our soul - humble, full of love and hope, supporting global causes from her bare feet to charity concerts, and follows her calling with outmost passion and compassion. May she stay safe and well grounded in this tumultuous world.

Let me start off by saying that I really like your reactions because you seem to approach this with an open mind when it comes to Angelina. I would like to respond directly to what your major question was before you started your reaction video this time, and that is what is it about this child that is so different and so intriguing. well let me give you a thought in that regard. Angelina is a child who has an extreme gift of singing, and musicality which is something she was absolutely born with. The magical thing about her is not what some people consider to be her mimicry in reproducing the music of others, but it is instead the talent, and sensitivity of empathy. Angelina touches our hearts because she genuinely feels the music that she is singing, and though people say well she's much too young, and without the life experience to be able to translate these songs into emotions, and that is most likely true if that's the only thing that she is going on in her artistic expression of music. Instead it is her ability to empathize with the feelings of the person whose song she is covering, or in her imagination of what the song means. so Angelina in her mind and in her spirit imagines what the song means based purely on the feelings that are being expressed without having to experience those feelings through life experience. Empathy is a thing too, and that is why she is able to invoke feelings in others because though she is expressing what are genuine feelings it is because of her vast capacity to interpret in her mind, and heart what another singer is expressing. The things that she sees in the song, and feels in the song through her empathetic imagination allows her to genuinely Express the feelings that she has interpreted in the song, therefore being able to express feelings through empathy as opposed to through experience. And so I believe that is Angelina's magic.

She is so tender, gentle & passionate!

This song was my introduction to Angelina in January of 2020. My wife was watching the program in the next room and called to me to come watch after she finished singing. We rewound the broadcast and I was just astonished at how much this song moved me. Later that evening I rewatched this song a dozen times or so and each time found myself choking up on the belted part. Then I just went on to RU-vid and went down the rabbit hole and could not get enough. Simply put the young Angelina is just magical. You cannot believe what you are seeing and hearing. She emotes music effortlessly. Like Aurora she is not afraid to fully immerse herself in the music she is singing. So many Angelina songs can bring me to tears unlike the original artists version. In your first reaction you called her authentic. That is a perfect word. She is not a pretender. She is music. Even though she is young and lacks so much life experience that singers and songwriters draw upon, she still seems to have the ability to understand the emotional aspects of the songs she performs. Or she might sing them from a context that means something to her. In an interview she does say she goes to a magical place when she sings. Like Aurora she is best watched while she sings. She expresses the emotions so well with facial expressions and body language. One of her most emotional performances in my opinion is I’ll Be There, By the Jackson Five, at a gala in Sweden to honor everyday heroes. She is ten. She has a bad cold. Her voice and pitch are imperfectly perfect. The song is dropped into a minor key and slowed down. This song makes me cry more than any other song she does. Just watch her face. So to answer your question. She is magical because she makes you feel the emotions. Music is what emotions sound like.

Most singers try to showcase themselves and their vocal abilities. Angelina always showcases the song by interpreting it with infusions of emotions that are befitting the song and its lyrics. Angelina does not only perform for your ears and eyes but also for your heart and soul. That is what makes Angelina a once in a generation artist. Thank you for an enjoyable reaction video and keep up the good work.

After discovering Angelina a few years ago, I've concluded that she must be descendant from Sirens that enchanted Odysseus. There is no explaining it, you are just simply entranced.

I think you hit on one of the key parts of what makes her such a phenomenal talent: She's herself. She doesn't seem like a young [insert artist]. She has that amazing ability to share emotion through her own voice. She doesn't need to emulate anyone.

Besides being humble, a humanitarian & her love for singing from the age of 1 1/2 yrs & her 1st rehearsal in the studio at 6 yrs which amazes us. Here are some of the reasons & things people are saying - “ she’s reincarnated” “She sings to our soul” someone actually said “my friend got healed listening to Angelina” “she never gets nervous on stage” she sang for 40,000 people in Korea. Quincy Jones flew Angelina to London to sing for his 85th birthday, she has sung for David Foster, Obama & others, intimate shows & charitable shows for children. We just like listening to Angelina‼️

There is no reference tone I think: she just start a capella. So what is magical to me about her…. Let me start with an less obvious part being her personality: she performs bare foot to raise awareness for poor children and has done so for 10 years and has raised money for multiple charities. She is a genuinely, kind and caring person. With so many famous people lost in their egos that is really wonderful. When it comes to her art, the most magical part to me is her storytelling, her arrangements, her ability to convey emotions, throwing in her soul and this way touching mine. She does not seem to want to impress, which she could, but she is focused on her performance and her story telling. What I love is how she branches out and tries out a lot of styles, genres and artists and plays with her voice. She has an amazing version of ‘I’d rather go blind’ where she seems to be throwing in as much vocal fry as she possibly can. She has developed a very rich vocal toolbox and she is able to use it with great precision. She has had that for a long time. With her performance of ‘I’m a fool to want you’ on Norway got Talent, which she sang a capella, she keeps her pace and pitch perfectly throughout. With her performance of Bang Bang, also on NGT, she uses very little of her characteristic vibrato and shows she can turn that on and off. But she also keeps developing herself as you will notice if you come across her 2022 rendition of My Funny Valentine. You will have a lot of fun on the road ahead and be prepared to be surprised at every turn :-)

I believe, very strongly, that by the end of AJ's career, she will end up being the greatest musical prodigy in history. What separates her from every other musician is as follow: Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Quincy Jones and myself, have been taught the way to arrange music is by giving it movement, but what she does is that she is taking it to the next level, by giving it movement but also making the necessary changes in accordance to musical vibrations, so when she puts her vocals on top of those vibrations, the same songs that we've heard a thousand times, suddenly becomes brand new. And we feel it unlike ever before. And that my friend is what makes her unique. Somehow, her brain came equip with the ability to feel and then transpose those musical vibrations, hence the need of other musicians working with her of calling her "BOSS."

Thanks for another great reaction to & appreciation for Angelina's incredible reinterpretation & performance of Queen's masterpiece. (And thanks for your quick follow up to your other 2 Angelina reactions :) You asked what makes Angelina magical? IMHO it's her entire being - it's not only that she has the GOD given gift of a beautiful voice , but also the GOD given ability to emote the essence of each song she sings direct to our hearts & souls - allowing us to also deeply FEEL her music. (For me at 72, she is the only singer in my lifetime that makes me tear up to each of her songs - whether they're happy or sad.) I listen to Angelina's music every day. Looking forward to more of your Angelina reactions. In addition to the remaining 3 of her NGT performances, highly recommend one of her original songs - Million Miles. There are several versions, but I believe her black & white studio version is the best. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.

I will not even try to explain Angelina, I will try to explain what happens in me when I listen to her: I experience sensational memories of emotions from the ancient past, memories of me at the age of 10, 15, 20. It's like I'm under hypnosis. It is very touching.

Angelina reminds me very much of Julie London. From Wikipedia: A BBC Legends episode noted: "Some singers sing as though they are addressing a crowd; some sing as though they are in a bar with a lot of people-[London] sings as though she's in one room, with you-and that's the difference."

From an Andy Schnell RU-vid comment we have this modified version about Angelina: Angelina found her natural talent and passion at an early age. Many consider Angelina a musical prodigy. Angelina also creates her own arrangements and has done so seemingly since an early age. Angelina started singing around 18 months of age, after listening to Whitney Houston singing “I Will Always Love You” on RU-vid. There is a brief video of her doing this. She quickly became obsessed with listening to music videos and her maternal grandmother, Mery Zamani, got Angelina interested in classic jazz. Mery Zamani is Iranian and was considered a child prodigy as an artist and poet while growing up in Iran. Angelina speaks Norwegian, English, Swedish plus some Japanese and Farsi. Angelina plays the piano and guitar in addition to, reportedly, also the flute and the violin. Why Angelina always performs barefoot: At age 6, while traveling in the Middle East with her mother and grandmother, Angelina noticed a girl around her age standing on the side of the road, asking people to step on her bathroom scale to be weighed in hopes of getting some money. Angelina took off her shoes so as to not get the scale dirty and stepped on the scale many times to make the girl feel better. Angelina befriends the girl who was not wearing shoes and has scars on her feet, and learns she is an orphan. The orphan girl tells Angelina how beautiful she thinks her shoes are. Angelina says her shoes don’t fit her well and she wants to give her shoes to the orphan girl who thanks Angelina for giving her the shoes. Angelina asked the girl what she wanted to be when she grew up and the girl replied, “I want to become a doctor, but that will never happen since I have no parents and I have siblings so I have to do whatever is necessary for us to survive.” Angelina told the girl to never give up on her dreams. The poor girl asked Angelina what she wanted to be when she grew up and Angelina replied that she wanted to sing for the whole world. The poor girl said she would pray every day so Angelina’s dream would come true. Angelina still says she thinks of that homeless girl every day and has always performed barefoot to remind her of all the children who are less fortunate. After Angelina won 2014 Norway’s Got Talent, she become a star in her native Norway and her videos on RU-vid went viral. She gave a few concerts during the summer of 2014 while 8 years old. In December 2014, Angelina sang at the Save the Children's Peace Prize Celebration which is part of the Noble Peace Prize celebration. All before Angelina had turned 14, her family took her to the United States, Brazil, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea, Singapore among other corners of the Earth, to perform for heads of state and to help raise money for charity. At age 10, and just a week before her 11th birthday, Angelina recorded a demo of “I’m Still Holding Out for You”. Her family never pursued having that recording officially released but someone leaked it on a RU-vid video. Thankfully, everyone involved with that song is OK with the leaked version. Many fans believe this is one of Angelina’s best performances: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dv8mjCh5iiE.html When Angelina was 11, she performed several concerts in Norway with a jazz/rock band. Those concerts included up to 14 songs. Angelina seems to be at her best when on stage, never nervous, only 100% confident. On June 27, 2018, at age 12, Jordan performed “Fly Me to the Moon” for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London. She has said that was a high point of her young career which was already in its 6th year. During 2018, Angelina lost her paternal grandfather, her friend Avicii and one of her idols, Aretha Franklin. She did a moving tribute for each. Angelina, before age 14, had covered more than 130 songs from 80 different artists, spanning at least 8 genres, all of which are available on RU-vid. Angelina has always made changes to each song she covers and often her version is preferred over the original. On RU-vid, search on The Complete Works of Angelina Jordan as Rusty Shackleford has put all songs in one file and has a complete playlist in the description of that video. After hearing Angelina’s recording of “Million Miles”, Monte Lipman, the CEO of Republic Records, personally wanted to sign her. In August 2020, Angelina agreed to a contract with Republic Records who declared Angelina to be their highest priority new artist. Reportedly her family requested Republic to allow her as normal a childhood as possible and therefore Republic has yet to fully promote her. In April 2021, her original “7th Heaven” was released. A jazzy, danceable, inspiring song. This was the fifth original song of hers that has been published. The others are “Million Miles”, “What is Life”, “Oslo” and “Shield”. Angelina has posted numerous short performances on TikTok and Instagram. Angelina's videos on RU-vid have over 1 billion views, on Facebook over 2.5 billion views, millions upon millions of views on TikTok and Instagram. There have been millions upon millions of plays on the streaming services of Spotify and others of a small set of songs that Angelina has performed. Angelina has concerts scheduled in Norway in late June and in early July 2022.

I don't think it's something you can name. She just has this amazing ability to touch your soul. I’m definitely in the camp that believes she's lived many lives and it comes out in her voice.

Angelina no worries with this amazing artist she only becomes better with age 16 years old now and Angelina vocals her voice control and technical ability surpasses her years, Angelina is so humble and her humanity special, even at 6 years old while traveling with family in Iran 🇮🇷 where Angelina’s grandma is from , she met a young girl also age 6 years old begging in the street and had sore feet with no shoes, Angelina made friends with her and told the girl follow your dreams and Angelina gave the girl her own shoes. And Angelina always performs barefoot until all the children in the world have shoes! How amazing a 6 year old can be so humble , Angelina’s beautiful soulful pitch perfect voice touches your heart and soul, the emotion she puts into al her performances is a key factor, Angelina’s unique silvery vibrato is amazing and her falsetto beautiful, she can change from one to the other within a note, and visa versa, absolutely the artist with a 1,000 different voices!

What do I love about Angelina? Everything. Apart from her unique musical ability, it is her humbleness, her emphatic heart, and her down to earthness. She always touches my inner being because of who she is. I have subscribed.

You witnessed what's magical about her in I put a spell on you. In today's regressed world we pay no attention to our surroundings especially what we don't see, which is OUR problem. Angelina is a channeler, both in aetherial energy and spiritual energy (they may be the same?) But it's her immediate trance like state just before she sings, and though it appears she is maybe unaware of the source, being a child allows her to naturally tap into it. And it's her hands and body that are our sign posts, go back and watch the performance again and you'll see her spin and twirl the aether around her. Lastly her touching of her hair, the storing aether energy in our hair was always put to "myth" but to the awakened mind, it's a very real thing and the aether can be used for good or bad.

Angelina is magical indeed, it is almost as if she is the second coming.

Angelina’s voice and her total being is like an ocean wave or soft summer breeze that takes you in and rushes you to places you have rarely experienced. Your heart rate increases, you find it difficult to catch your breath, chills and shells engulf you. You are now addicted to Angelina Jordan the finest story telling vocalist I have ever experienced.

Very interesting observations.Angelina from the very beginning said that she wants to sing for the world and spread love through her music.She also said that she has her own style which she has been refining.She said that she wants to modernize the classics to reintroduce them.She says that she speaks and emotes through her music rather than talking.She knows that she has been given a gift and this keeps her humble and generous.She is a singer/songwriter,author,musician,painter,multilinguist,seamstress,and humanitarian,as well as having an incredible work ethic.Her consistency to her commitments since early childhood leave me in awe.

This was all Angelina her arrangement and how to sing it , she`s a marvel

Its more of a spiritual level. When you hear her there are some of us who feel like we've been waiting for her our whole lives on a soul level. Like we came here knowing something special was here and we have a longing to be fill until we hear her and as soon as we do, game over man. Mission complete and enjoy. Her voice is like a mothers love. And if there was ever an apocalyptic event and the world was ending all I would need is to see her and hear her sing and I wouldnt care.

She was born to sing, so she herself says. "I did not find music! Music found ME!!!" You can call her driven or obsessed. When the famous shoeless girl asked her what AJ wants to do (at age 6) she answered "I want to sing for the world." When she speaks to others, she chooses words, these people will understand. When you have a very high IQ, you have to be very patient with the dumb "normal" people. GRIN. I know for sure she has a high IQ, I met such people. That´s it for now, Stay safe and happy, German Greetings (GG).
