Angelina Jordan - "Gloomy Sunday" and "Bang, Bang" on Norway's Got Talent (Reaction)! 

First I have yo say I love your appearance, Beautiful woman as if you were made of super fine porcelain. I love your HONEST and HEARTFELT reactions. Stay true to that and just be you. You are in my prayers for your health. WELCOME TO THE ANGELS (Angelina Jordan fans)

At this age you expect a seven year-old to be singing "Frozen" or ponies and fairies, not this kind of subject matter. As one of the judges said "She is born with this". I love watching you discover this rare jewel in our ugly world. Thank you.

Molly, She is never nervous if you go listen to Billie Holiday's version the two are exact! It is uncanny to say the least. Angelina was a genius at 7 yrs old and also did Billie Holiday's I'm a Fool to Want You perfectly matched in ACAPELLA no less!

It's incredible that I never tire of Angelina as I have listened to her sing literally thousands and thousands of times.

As an 83year old totally unmusical male who has been listening to Angelina daily for 10 years now, I appreciate that you are quite articulate in your reactions to her. So many reactors are equally enraptured by her voice, her musicality, but many do not get beyond the Wow! and Amazing! stage. Thanks for keeping up with her.

A little girl, 7-8 yrs old, singing such sophisticated songs so beautifully.

Gloomy sunday..7.years old..bang bang.. at 8.years old and put a spell on you..9.years old..😊🌹

❤️❤️❤️ thank you for your reactions. Looking forward for more . She is special your talented kind heater humble girl

Insane how Angelina captures the mood of both Gloomy Sunday and Bang Bang. Some angels have called her an empath. To complete the Norway's Got Talent, please react to "I'm a Fool to Want You" which she sings a capella (might be her most impressive performance) and the "Summertime" which she sang in the Finals. Molly on your own you really should hear the judges comments for the two songs you just reacted to. The judges comments are remarkable.

Here's a couple of really outstanding songs by Angelina at 10 years old. Google "Angelina Jordan sings Alan Walker is heading home" 2 incredible songs with full orchestra by renowned DJ Alan Walker...."Sing me to sleep" and "Faded".......

It's like watching a live baby doll singing . Enjoyed your reaction

Tears of a mother, who realized, she would have to share her little baby with the entire world...

Hi Molly, That was her mother, in an interview afterward, she said, that she cried, because she knew that she had lost her older daughter to the world. As we fans can see that is not completely true. When you watch this videos with translation you come to understand that the judges loved her from the first audition. Especially Judge Omer is still her friend to this day, as by the way is Heidi Klum. As for her live experience, she has seen more of the world than the most people will ever see in their lifetime. Her dad works as an engineer for an international company, and little AJ and part of the family followed him, or visited him. The famous episode of the shoeless girl happened in the Middle East in her grandmas home country in the winter. It was freezing cold and this girl and her sister without shoes where trying to make money and doing their home work. The shoeless girl saw a queen and a princess coming closer. She was trying to get people on her bathroom scales for a little money, her sister tried to sell flowers in the freezing cold. When she asked the little princess if she actually was one, the princess in her fine clothes said: "no my name is Angelina and this is my mommy". Because the girl did not want to take the money AJ´s mom offered her, AJ put off her shoes, not to dirty the scale, and stepped on it many times. When asked her name by AJ, the girl say "my name is Princess". After the legendary conversation, AJ helped to take up and clean the homework of Princess, so that Princess could give that to the teacher. This Info stems from her English version of her book "Between two hearts", that officially was published when nine year old. BUT the words she read to an interviewer and audience are of her diary, written on that day, when she met Princess at six years. Please stay save and as healthy as you can. Kind greetings from South Germany.

You need to match Angelina's Gloomy Sunday to Billie Holiday's original when she was 29. Shut your eyes and you will think one person is singing both songs. It's as if Billie was reincarnated into Angelina.

You can get this with English subtitles which allows you to undersand what she and the judges say.

Gloomy Sunday was her audition piece, so the first time on the show and the first appearance to the public. By the time she sang Bang Bang she'd got through that hurdle and was clearly more confident. Perhaps the difference you noticed had to do with the fact that Bang Bang had all the studio production behind it so appeared more polished anyway. Yes, that was her mother, crying she said because she knew then that she had lost her daughter to the world (although I like to think that she had actually gained several million people into her family!). You need to watch her Summertime performance, which won her the show (oops, spoiler!). If you want to see her sing at age 6, there is an amateur recording of her singing I Who Have Nothing. That, too, is worth watching!

Gloomy Sunday is one that really shows how music is something that is just _in_ her. It comes from somewhere deep. Here is a quote from Angelina about Gloomy Sunday that gives a good look at just how mature this kid was even at 8 years old... "The reason I chose this song is completely random. I love jazz, but "Gloomy Sunday" was random. It was a night I could not sleep and my mother was stressed that I was awake long after midnight. Then I borrowed my mom's iPad where I wanted to listen to jazz on RU-vid before I fell asleep. Then came a picture of a beautiful lady screaming at the sky and with her eyes closed... I'm talking about jazz queen Billie Holiday. I heard the song "Gloomy Sunday" that night and then I had to hear it every day. I love the melody. I understood well what the text was about because I know English well. Every time I sang it I felt something special about it, it's hard to explain in words. When I sang it for mom, she said that this song is nice, but that it was incredibly sad song". - Angelina Jordan

Angelina is just remarkable.

At age 7 'Gloomy Sunday was her audition to Norway's Got Talent'. The first judge said she was fantastic and then trying to find more words finally admitted he was at a loss for words. The second judge also said she was fantastic and went on to tell Angelina, "You ARE music!". The third overwhelmed judge told Angelina "I believe you were born to sing". The final judge said it is hard to believe that a small child could sing as an adult.

She melts my heart everytime I watch these two videos , mind you I love everything she does!

"Summertime" at Norway's Got Talent is her best song ! She uses all her jazz influences and it's really amazing stuff from an 8 yrs old ! Thank you for your wonderful comments and thank you for supporting this beautiful talented girl ! It's so much appreciated ! Keep posting 🤗🤗🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much. You did not do as so many others do. You allowed her to start and finish. It's very hard to get the full flow of her energy when every 40seconds she is put on hold, so we can be informed about some aspect of her performances. I just subscribed to your channel. I'm 67. So the best thank you is to subscribe. Oh and I like your ink.

As the supposed back story, her mother was backstage watching and she was crying as she knew then, she lost her daughter to the world. To go back a year earlier, Angelina at 6 years old in the studio belting out I Who Have Nothing.

Molly is Angel! Angelina is Angel.

gs #1 bb #3 i'm a fool to want you #2 a capella and summertime #4 started at 7 years ended at 8. yes her mother sara who when asked what she was feeling answered that was the moment i knew i had lost my daughter to the world...thanks so much...

Yes that's her mom. In a later interview she said the tears were realizing she had lost her little girl to the world. The whole world now loves Angelina.

"Gloomy Sunday" was her first performance for a general audience. It was recorded on Jan 25 2014 (two weeks after her 8th birthday). "Bang bang" was performed on April 11, and in the meantime she had done "I'm a fool to want you" for the NGT (recorded Feb 7) and "Fly me to the Moon" on a TV show March 21. She was definitely more experienced singing "Bang bang"!

Molly, you just witnessed history. Gloom Sunday was her introduction to the world and that video will live forever. Yes, you made me smile because lots of people chronologically determine Angelina's age by watching the growth of her front teeth! Molly, there were two other songs she performed in the talent show. In a performance, after Bang Bang, all contestants had to a sing a song of their own choice a cappella to determine who moves on to the finals. She chose to sing "I'm a Fool To Want You". (I know, all this is crazy! But, crazy good!) 10 contestants made the finals which included Angelina. In her Finals performance she sang George Gershwin's Summertime. Molly, she aced it and there is one particular note she hits in the song which will literally knock you back in your chair. A lot of us in the States have discovered Angelina in the last year, or two, but the people in Norway have been following her for 8 years! She's currently 15. I recommend you check out the other two songs in the NGT Show before moving on. I like the way you hesitated before using the word "comfortable" because that is never a concern. If you picture the beginning of Gloomy Sunday when she extended her left arm out to "instruct" the technician she's ready, okay to start the music, you knew she was in her comfort zone. Angelina is most comfortable in her life when she is singing. She was born to sing.

I was in awe when I first watched Angelina's Gloomy Sunday performance.

Good morning Molly from KY Before continuing with her NGT song's please go back one more year when she was 6 in studio doing Tom Jones I Who Have Nothing Hear you can hear the power in her voice evev at that age. Love your reactions Stay Safe ♥️ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RjQZKBpVaes.html

Nice reaction Molly. What Angie said about “Gloomy Sunday" choice “The reason I chose this song is completely random. I love jazz, but “Gloomy Sunday “ was random. It was a night I could not sleep and my mother was stressed that I was awake long after midnight. Then I borrowed my mom's iPad, where I wanted to listen to jazz on RU-vid before I fell asleep. Then came a picture of a beautiful lady screaming at the sky and with her eyes closed. I heard the song “Gloomy Sunday” that night and then I had to hear it every day. I love the melody. I understood well what the text was about because I know English well. Every time I sang it I felt something special about it, it's hard to explain in words. When I sang it for mom, she said that this song is nice, but that it was incredibly sad song.” (Sara, Angie's mom was asked what she thought when she saw her on the screen backstage, (she was wiping her tears when watching) I knew I had just lost my little girl to the world ) The family has always been very close & since that even more protective of her from the entertainment industry’s vultures & hyena's. (You might want to start from the very beginning were it all started.) “I who have nothing” by Ben E. King & covered by Tom Jones & Shirley Bassey.

Thanks again Molly for even this dobbeled up reaction (I love that). You are right, she grew in confident by every one of her 4 performances, even though she was fully confident at her first audition (Gloomy Sunday). I feel confident she was quite a bit more exited for her first performance, as she had naged and asked her mom for a couple of years, to sign her in for on of these TV show competitions. As you will hear her say at the AGT, as she was 13 YO; - she waited 10 years to perform in front of Simon Cowell. So finaly mom gave in and let her go on stage, singing Billie Holiday. That was the day she totaly stoped me in whatever I was doing, she made my jaw drop to the floor, and I wonder if I even took a breath at all, or a blink of my eyes during those 3 - 5 minutes she introdused herself to the world. And the thing is, even though I was a bit prepared as I saw her other NGT performances, I think she drove me trough that whole same prosidier every time. Stunned and breathless.

Her rendition of "Bang Bang" is maybe the best version of this song (And I do love Nancy Sinatra...). It is absolutely perfect, the pace, the diction, and her tone is incomparable - no adult can imitate her tone, and for this song it suits it perfectly "When I was 5 and he was 6...." what more can you say ?

Angelina could be good for you. Many fans say her voice has healing powers.

This little baby has revolutionized the concept of great music.....

Thank you for the twofer. Yes, the opener with the tooth gap was a breathtaker. Her mother was tearful at "having given up #AngelinaJordan to the world". And "Bang Bang" is at a more centered level where she had turned 8. Both renditions are more than just song with music. Angelina demonstrates her uncanny ability to take us on a journey as she tells a story. So glad that you have chosen to follow the music of this Voice sent from the Heavens.

Thank you! She’s amazing, like one of the juges said in this competition she is music❤️

Go watch her at the age of 6 yrs old, singing in studio, B&W, singing "I who have nothing"!!! The check out her and Alan Walker both from Norway.she is singing"sing me to sleep" and "Faded" they are one video! Love love it! Oh yeah check out her singing "Wicked".

I cry every time is see / hear her sing Gloomy Sunday. Amazing reaction Molly there are no words for our bare foot princess. She was already famous before Americas Got Talent. Like you said about all her live performance's. There are no words for our queen of jazz. Great reaction keep them coming.

Can't go wrong with anything from NGT. She shines like a 5000 Watt bulb.

Thanks for a sensitive and insightful reaction!

As next, please, try Summertime. Her voice is at he best in this final of NGT. Thank you.😚

I'm always amazed at her precise application of vocal techniques, ending or beginning a word with a bit of vocal fry or vibrato, breathyness, or a clear tone. The perfection of the details are noticed more and more each time I listen.

The guy at the end, head down fingers steepled and then blowing out, he just knows that he's witnessing greatness, he's also beyond question totally in love with her and her voice.

You need finish with her version of Summertime that closed her Norway's Got Talent win

"Gloomy Sunday" was her audition.

Thank you for reacting to the young living legend!

There’s an introduction to gloomy Sunday which was the very first song on ‘Norway’s got talent’ where they interview her for the first time, you can get the closed captions in English

IMO, the chronological sequence of Angelina’s N.G.T. performances may also give us a glimpse at how steadily and quickly she learned from her previous performances. Of course, song choice does play a large role.

Summertime was amazing !!!

Hello Molly you're beautiful , listen all l Ask , and million miles and other songs by Angelina Jordan she is phénoménal and her voice is magical 😍😍😍

Hi Molly, you look beautiful, hope you're feeling great as well. Great reaction. Angelina is always confident in her performances but as she continues her journey she gains lots of experience which makes her performances more enhanced. You will notice the maturity as she ages. Thank you for taking the time to react to Angelina, looking forward to your next one.

Time again Angelina has shown her brilliance by her constant,meteoric improvements.Sure she's gifted but she has to work hard to keep polishing that musical gem.Each of her performances on NGT show marked improvement,by the time she gets to Summertime she's a pro.

The way Molly lives Angelina's songs during her phenomenal performances we love to see it ❤

the most surprising to me is the fact that you haven't reacted to her Bohemian Rhapsody performance on AGT yet. And Yellow Brick Road from Elton John. You are a very patient woman.

There was much more 'stage direction' for Bang Bang - she walked up to the microphone and started singing! Quite amazing!

Hey, you should see her performance in the final of Norway Gut Talent in the song "Summertime" 🗣🎙🦶🦶

I forgot how good she preformed these, bit teary-eyed after bang bang. Thank you for reaction.

My favorite performance of hers on Norway Got Talent was Summertime, which I believe she did after Bang Bang. Yes you are right that Gloomy Sunday was one of her first performances, I believe the 2nd one of the show.

Yes, Gloomy Sunday was her 1st performance..... And it was her mother. Spot on ...... Kudos. Hope your health improves.

On your own watch the ‘subtitled’ versions of these Norway’s Got Talent performances to observe the full experience of judges and some quick interviews with AJ backstage. Yes her mom, and order of performance for the 4 MGT songs are Gloomy, I’m a Fool (acapella), Bang, and Summertime. Thanks Molly, spot on observations as always. Cheers 🍻

I had never watched those back to back, and was interested in your reaction to the difference in her "comfort" level. In the first performance, "Gloomy Sunday", she was auditioning after a full day waiting around. (Definitely watch that video with her interview. Watching her climb up on a chair is priceless) Bang-Bang was actually the semi finals and I'm pretty sure she was a lot more relaxed and rested. Another reviewer pointed out that Angelina is actually giving directions on timing to her guitarist when she turns her head at the end of the song so that they're in perfect sync. You'll notice that she often gives hand gestures to the band. Truly a wonder to watch.

Angelina's family, how did they know that there was something about this kid? It's like they knew, they documented everything she did, even when she was really small, tinier than she is in this video. Hey the whole family just blows me away. Molly Bee great reaction and thanks, take care.

Her super power is emoting the lyrics.

Looking forward eagerly to your reaction on her Bohemian Rhapsody. Please also add her very interesting cover of James Brown "It's A Man's World" where even the Band Director is freaking out. Thank you again.

She's just such a gift. all i got lol.

"Bang Bang" is AJ's penultimate performance on Norway's Got Talent. "Bohemian Rhapsody" on AGT is really the culmination of her talent show performances. And yes, "Gloomy" is her first NGT performance, followed by "I'm a Fool" a cappella. Then there was a break of perhaps 6 months, when her tooth grew in, before she sang "Bang Bang." Then came "Summertime," which, given her age and the difficulty of the song, IMO is her best performance before "Bohemian."

Hello Ms. Molly Bee. Miss Angilina Jordan Just dropped a New Version of her Song 7Th Heaven... Smash Hit!!! OMG!!! Must Se & react PLEASE!!! U are so Fun as our Host!!! DD.

You must see her live performance with alan walker you won't be disappointed

Extraordinary! Stay safe.

Luv ur beautiful reaction ..i remember that i voted on her after saw bang nag ..loved it ; )

As for the judges' reactions, imagine hearing this performance live, in person.

More, more more....love these reactions!

Yes, these two performances were Angelina's first and third at NGT. Second is her singing a Billie Holiday version of "I'm A Fool To Want You" (and oh yeah, that one is a cappella!). Her final performance (for the win) was Gershwin's "Summertime". And as these 4 performance took place over nearly as many months the maturity of Angelina is observable as she grows physically and grows into her craft day by day. And yes that was her mom who later said that was when she knew she would have to share her daughter with the world! Please include the links to the original videos in the description so Angelina can more easily get views. Thanks.

Others will tell you all about AJ , I'll just say enjoyed your reaction, it was on your face

Hello and thank you for another beautiful reaction to our BAREFOOT PRINCESS. So yes, you're right 1st song on NGT was Gloomy Sunday (7yrs old) I'm a Fool to Want you (8yrs) BANG BANG (8yrs) and SUMMERTIME (8yrs) in that order. Also, yes that's her mom. I hope that you continue to listen to Angelina because her voice is not only beautiful, it is also therapeutic. For me, Angelina's singing always puts me in a very positive, calm and peaceful state of mind and I hope it does for you as well. Once again, thank you and I do hope you check out her other 2 songs on NGT.😇💞💞💞💞

Hi Molly, Very nice for another of AJ reaction, enjoyed all of them and thank you very much.

I was going to comment, but I see Rusty already has, and he has all the info you'll need. I will recommend "I'm still holding out for you" a joint venture at 10 and "It's a mans world" with the Norwegian orchestra at 12 But her in the studio at 6 "I who have nothing" is something to see. Just so you know, this goes on and on! She has more "Once in a lifetime" performances it's mind blowing and already at age 15, she's in a class I don't think anyone has ever seen!

I suggest I'm a Fool to want You, her second song then her last performance, Summertime, it is by far the best. If you watch all 4 in order with subtitles you will see her progression and the judges comments in awe of her.

maybe it's just me but I think Angelina matched those chibi heads on your back wall 😄

Her phrasing , thats not taught , this young was really born to sing and make her so easy to listen to .

The two reactions I always watch from reactors are I Put a Spell On You and a Bohemian Rhapsody. Gloomy Sunday was her first song. She sang I’m a Fool to Want You akapella on the show either right before or right after Gloomy Sunday. Yes. That is her mother.

Actually her very first is a Capella as the initial audition to just get into the show. "I'm a fool to want you" and her winning song was Summertime.

Yes, that was her mom

❤️ your reaction Molly to our barefotted prinses 👍🙂

If you like Lana del Rey ... or even if you don't her covers of "Born To Die and Young And Beautiful are a must listen....

That was the first time I heard bang bang. Thank you

After her first Norway's got talent performance, then this,. the judges might have well have sent everyone else home! 🤣🤣🤣

Greatly appreciate your input. Wonderful and insightful 👏

Final song are/was ,«sommertime»..bjuteful performes..😎💟

Thank you very much for this reaction! If you're interested, here is a link to her singing an a cappella cover of Billie Holiday's "I'm a Fool to Want You" for that same show at age 7. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LXknLZDoRVQ.html

Her improvements in singing and confidence are evident between the two performances.

Thank you for a great reaction. AJ is a gift to the world! ❤️❤️❤️

That was a wonderful reaction and comments Molly, much appreciated. Thank you for supporting this ultra talented young lady. As mentioned below in other comments before you leave the NGT performances, you really really need to check out her A Cappella version of "I'm A Fool to Want You" and her stunning winning performance on the show of "Summertime" all of which she sticks with her Jazz roots singing these great songs. Look forward to more Molly, hope all is well. BTW, though there is a boat load of child singers, pretty sure that none of them decide to take on Billy Holiday or any great Jazz songs for that matter.

I've watched this dozens and dozens of times and I've always been so mesmerized by her performance that I never noticed until now in the last line of the last verse she inverts time and lie saying " he didn't take the LIE to TIME" but in the 20 plus times I've watched it I honestly never noticed because her vocals on this song are so hauntingly beautiful she really does it better than Nancy and my opinion. I'm not sure what the exact term would be I guess it's either freezing or her placement of certain words in a line better than the way Nancy does it

Watch a version with subtitles because the judges comments reflect their emotions and astonishment of her talent; "I'm a Fool to Want You" accapella is a must watch.

gloomy sunday was the second performance, the first one was an acapella version of "I"m a fool to want you"- which is insane for a seven year old child. Norwegian is the language she is born with, but she does speak some farsi, because she is a half iranian, and she learned a lot of english early bye her prefered music. She is a strange beeing - I hope she survives the commercial music business

Gloomy Sunday was her first song. Her audition. After it, the judges voted unanimously to send her on. There was, I believe, over a month between the first performance and the rest, while they trimmed the contestants down to the final 10. She did have an acapella of "I'm a Fool To Want You", where the judges made their final cuts to the semi finals. Bang Bang and then Summertime was her Finals performance, of which she was 8 years old for both of them. There is a mash up video out there with Angelina and Billie Holiday singing the song overlapped, and it is almost dead on perfect.

"what a difference a day makes" is a must

Totally agree with you Molly. Its always impressing how Angelina did perform in her young age and how she was able to put so much soul to her performances. Even artists having that "life experience" are often not able to put that kind of experience into their voices. One of my favorite songs of her is "I Have Nothing (Whitney Houston Tribute)" what I am highly recommending for reacting to. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eTcvvO6B3Io.html However, there are so many performances she did from different covers / styles as well as originals it's just breathtaking to see her development.
