Angelina 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Angelina can channel great Jazz singers along with singers from back in the day. She has this special gift of music in her old soul, after all, we have already established she is an Angel!

She will be the best of all time!!!

She is absolutely amazing

The depths of her voice blew my mind as well. And I’m sure all minds who listen to this song ♥️🇨🇦♥️

She is a old soul in a young lady’s body she can sing anything

It's A Man's World. Angeline

"Angels [ "Ms. Angelina Jordan - The Astar Family" ] descending... Bring from above, echoes of mercy, whispers of love." - Fanny Crosby 🙏 🕊☀️🤍☀️🕊 🙏

Angelina has done over 160 Covers and 8 or so originals. Since age 7 she has been doing her own arranging in every facet of her covers. At the start of “I Put A Spell On You” the caption reads “I Put A Spell On You” by Angelina Jordon And at the end of the session she was given the master copy. Most of the musicians are part of Norway’s Air Force Band and Orchestra. Courtesy of the Crown Prince of Norway who has declared her a National Treasure of Norway.

She is a prodigy ❤️

A Holly Greatness has been born again.

This was actually done at her home in front of a white wall with a guitarist she did a lot of videos there and when she says bye at the end that's usually at home a fan added the video later. What you are essentially watching is a hobby production by Angelina Jordan. After she won Norway's got talent her mother refused to allow recording contracts. They just did some events on a very selective basis and Angelina would record stuff at home in front of a wall that was her a good microphone and someone playing the guitar.

Word of the day: Reverent

Just for fun, she sings this in the same key as Elvis does. Because of course she does. If you continue on your Angelina journey you'll soon ask yourself if there is anything she can't sing. Her covers include incredible tributes to artists as different as Billie Holiday, Amy Winehouse, Shirley Bassey, Queen, Adele, Rhianna, Whitney Houston, and Miley Cyrus, to name just a few, and she kills them every single time. There is apparently no limit to this girl's talent, skill, and beauty. 😎

Wow I felt the Elvis spirit as well!!

First encounter Modern. Immediate upvote 'cause Angelina, and the Blackhawks hockey jersey. 👍👍😁🇨🇦

Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious!

ANGELINA JORDAN MASTER GENIUS 💯⭐️💯⭐️💯⭐️

magnifcent comment ! sensible , sensitve , a good voice speaking real Englishii .Thanks !! Alain (Belgium )

Talk about being transported to another world, wow

Angelina's extensive catalog gives plenty of opportunities to pinball back and forth between totally different voices, genres, moods, ages, etc. It's great fun to watch someone experiencing that. I think your next reaction to her should be "Valerie", presented in the form of a music video shot on Venice Beach (posted to her official channel). Her vocals were recorded earlier - probably pretty close in time to this performance of HGTA, as it turns out. But if she's tapping into her "inner Elvis" here, in that one she just plain _becomes_ Amy Winehouse. 😉

After 56 years, Angelina is the only person who has ever made me seriously consider whether reincarnation could be a real thing.

Thanks for the great reaction. It will happen over and over again no matter what Angelina song you listen to. She will surprise, amaze and never disappoint.

Angelina, the Barefoot Angel, never disappoints with any genre of music with her unique and angelic voice. She didn't go with high note because she took the believers to church while staying at home.

You have just scratched the surface so far. It is not an exaggeration to say that Angelina is a musical prodigy. You will not regret going deep into this rabbit hole. It will be a magical journey. I look forward to your next one.

Thank you - she has 1000 vocals, and can sing everry gener she wants. A young living legend!

How about her amazing "Bye!" at the end....beautiful!

Angelina auditioned for Norway’s Got Talent at the age of 7, sang four short songs, and you would think you were listening to a grown lady from the 40s, 50s or 60s. Worth listening to, as it makes it easier to understand how she can do what she does. Enjoyed your show and tell of the 45 record inserts, I still have a few kicking around. Never seen those dicta belts before. Very interesting.

Another word for great, fantastic, stunning, and unbelievable is...Angelina! The guitarist is the wonderful Ivan Mendez, and he and Angelina have made some remarkable recordings together.

Yes, that rolling and rising vibrato at certain points in her performance is incredibly beautiful.

It's been said she has a 1000 voices. You may run out of new things to say but she will continue to show you something new with each performance.

Angelina Jordan, It's A Man's World, Live 2018. Audio only. The guitar solo is awesome! She was 12.

That’s her phenomenal lower register and there is no auto-tune.

She hits some low notes in “summer time”, Norway’s Got Talent.

Her low register is and always has been incredible. You will hear that low tone in many of of her songs.

She is a modern day vocal Picasso as she can sing any genre and she makes any cover her own and takes us on an emotional journey every time. Welcome to Angelina's rabbit hole. You have about 130 more videos to watch. A word I found is Duende to describe her singing

"How Great Thou Art" is a Christian hymn based on a Swedish traditional melody and a poem written by Carl Boberg (1859-1940) in Mönsterås, Sweden, in 1885. It was translated into German and then into Russian. It was translated into English from the Russian by English missionary Stuart K. Hine, who also added two original verses of his own. This song has been covered by many artists, including "James Edward Cleveland, The Blackwood Brothers Quartet, Dixie Carter, Tammy Wynette, Charlie Daniels, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Burl Ives, Alan Jackson, Billy Preston, Dolly Parton, Martina McBride, Elvis Presley, Cliff Richard, Roy Rogers, George Beverly Shea, Carrie Underwood, Connie Smith, Mahalia Jackson, the Statler Brothers, Sir Howard Morrison " 💯 *AJ* 💯

Angelina total reverence for this gospel song, her low register is just super natural. Great reaction .. Words fail to describe Angelina as you will find out we are left with just Wow Wow Wow!!!

A.J. is a jazz singer at heart, listen to her sing Ella style, Every Time We Say Goodbye, Age 10, before moving to the U.S.

Yes Elvis. she covers many of his songs, many in his key too. A new word...medicinal.

You’re exactly right on her channeling her “innner Elvis”! Just another stunning Angelina Jordan cover, ho hum! 😀

The best voice i've ever heard......💗 thank you.....✌

If you are looking for another adjective, how about otherworldly? What you were just beginning to discover is why Angelina is known as the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices. You have now heard two distinctly different voices. Angelina has the unique capability of being able to channel any one of her influences into her songs. Billie holiday, Ella fitzgerald, Diana washington, Aretha franklin, Elvis presley, adele, Amy Winehouse, and many others. In this song she fully channeled Elvis and saying in his register! You indicated how incredible this was because she was a 12-year-old girl here singing in the same low register as a 30-year-old plus male! Angelina has the ability to adjust the tone and the style of any song she sings and pays respect the original artists. I have never seen anything like it in a young singer. Also, you may have noticed the emotion she exhibited in this song as she does in all of her songs. Even if she has not experienced the event. I'm not sure if you are aware that Angelina won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8 years old singing old classic songs. Angelina also sings barefoot all the time When she was 6 years old, she was in the Middle East with her mom and grandmother and they came across a young orphan girl with no shoes and scarred feet. Angelina gave the girl her own shoes and promised she would never again wear shoes while performing until all children of the world had shoes! At age 9 she wrote a book about this experience, Between two Hearts, becoming the youngest ever published author in Norway. She also has helped raise millions for children's charities. She is a special individual. Here is link from ages 6 to 15 to her chronological performances, including five originals. m.ru-vid.com/group/PL2v8kgVeo4EbYDVnRwObjETfWpXbzbgIO Finally, thanks for reacting to Angelina. You should be proud you have helped introduce her to a wider audience. Since you admire the artist, why not offer the level of support they deserve?

ANGELINA JORDAN OFFICIAL CHANNEL ru-vid.com

Her range is actually a classic contralto with an observed tessitura range of a D3 low up to a G#5 high. She actually hit a C3 in this song which is the not you heard that wasn't as well supported. This was indeed a cover of the Elvis rendition of the song which she sung in his key and register. As you move forward in your journey with Angelina you will find that she has mastered quite a few genres including Jazz, Blues, R&B, Disco, Pop, EDM, Country, Classical, and Gospel. Thanks for another great reaction.

Thank you for your great reaction. You ain’t heard nothing yet. She will blow your mind no matter which song you pick to react to. All 160 covers plus or any of her 6 or 7 original song. Oh yeah, there is a video of Angelina at age 3 who’s telling her mom that her (play) guitar doesn’t work and plays it and sing to prove to her mom the guitar is not good. Age 3.

Same key (Bb-major) and register as Elvis Presley from his album titled "How Great Thou Art". Lowest note was C3 (one octave below middle C on a piano). Astounding!

You are the fourth person to class her as a contralto she has some extraordinary ability it her age she is now 16 and her voice is way richer than it was here she was classed as a child prodigy a few notes about her, she has covered over 140 songs , she has many covers with over a million views she sings in 5 languages she is Norway youngest published author she has written and recorded 5 of her own songs.her following on Facebook and you tube is huge many of her followers are old and we look at her as a daughter or granddaughter I personally think she is a musical genius. Enjoyed your reaction and I subscribed

Congrats, you just discovered the most astonishing voice of the century...!

In the not too distant future i expect we'll see some Angelina albums on your wall. Great reaction.

Thanks for promptly responding to our requests & for another great, insightful reaction - this time to another masterful performance by our barefoot princess showcasing her lower register & control. As you referenced both Elvis & gospel music, you might enjoy some of her outdoor Norway Summer Festival performances - especially It's Now Or Never &/or Somethings Got A Hold On Me. Thank you. And may GOD continue to watch over & bless Angelina Jordan.

For me, this hymn will always be connected to the great basso-baritone, George Beverly Shea. If you ever do another reaction that should be the one. It was he who brought the song to the US in the 1950s. He sang it at every Billy Graham Crusade & I think his is the definitive version. But I love the way Angelina does it!

Thank you,I enjoyed it.Angelina really does sound like Elvis,I think.She and Dimash are my favourite artists.I love your interesting little snippets at the beginning too.

The Barefoot Princess of Jazz and the word that comes to mind is legendary!

Beautiful reaction. Glad you're dgging a little deeper into the immense potential of this young artist. Hope you'll keep reacting to her huge repertoire. And by the way, Angelina has covered many songs with just an accoustic guitar for backup.

I am sure you know who Mel Blanc was and if you do, think about his vocal abilities then think about this young woman. She goes from genre to genre as easily as Mel Blanc traveled the roads of vocal characterizations. I'm 76 and have heard all her covers from all the originals from the past as well as her originals and she is the most impressive vocalist I have ever seen or heard..

Welcome to the Angels Army :))) enjoy :)

Angelina doesn't just approach contralto, she's DEEP into contralto range with this: she hits a D3 at the bottom in this (many times). Typically only professionally-trained, classical singers get down this low (the bottom is typically F3 for a contralto; Angelina is a couple of steps lower than that!). Why? Because this is in the same range & key as Elvis' version -- so she was literally channeling Elvis! For Angelina in full "Gospel Mode," watch her cover of Etta James' "Something's Got a Hold on Me" here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TCc4Yjri3pc.html

Angelina has done cover songs for a few artists so far: Adele, Alan Walker, Amy Winehouse, Andy Williams, Aretha Franklin, Avicii , Bill Withers, Billie Holiday, Bing Crosby , Bobby Vinton, Cass Elliot, Charles Aznavour , Cher, Chris Isaac, Dean Martin, Dinah Washington , Dolly Parton , Doris Day , Dusty Springfield , Ella Fitzgerald, Elton John, Elvis, Ethel Merman , Etta James, Frank Sinatra, Frankie Valle, Freddie Mercury , Gene Autry , Gloria Gaynor , Halsey, Harry Belafonte , Jackson 5, James Brown, Jim Reeves , Jimmmie Boyd , John Legend, Josh Groban , Judy Garland , Julie London , Lana Del Rey, Leslie Gore, Lou Rawls , Louis Armstrong, Mamas and the Papas, Maria Carey , Marshmello, Michael Jackson, Miley Cyrus , Nancy Sinatra, Nancy Wilson , Nat King Cole , Nina Simone, Patsy Cline, Perry Como , Queen, Ray Charles, Rihanna , Roberta Flack, Robyn , Ruby & the Romantics, Sam Smith , Screamin' Jay Hawkins , Selena Gomez , Shirley Bassey, Sia , The Beatles , The Righteous Brothers, Tom Jones, Vaughan Monroe , Whitney Houston, Willie Nelson

What you said---Ditto! And for me, having heard many, many different singers perform this classic song, I was convinced that Elvis and Carrie were never to be joined by anyone at the top (IMO). Then I heard Angelina's version. And WOW!!! For me, she is right up there with Carrie and Elvis. Completely different take on this song, and maybe my all time favorite. Can't get through the way she does the chorus without tearing up. On another note, if you like singers who perform with just an acoustic guitar (or piano), then you are in for a treat with Angelina. She has many performances with just her and a guitar. And they are all Fantastic! I'm enjoying your Angelina journey, and I hope you are maintaining a safe distance from that "big-butt" spider. 😊

She realy has a lot to show, I have enjoyed her music for a long time and I get amazed most of the time:)

I think she was 12 here. I just love this song. She is most definitely paying homage to Elvis. I subbed to you a couple of days ago and I enjoy your reactions. Her bye is precious 🤣... Angelina is the only artist I watch because everyone else just seems superficial to me with the exception of Home Free. They can be superficial but hilarious and mega talented. I am formally requesting for you to react to one of her originals, maybe 'Million Miles' because it's a good slice of her more recent stuff. She has a ton of songs with just acoustical guitar..it's one of her favorite things. ❤️

Could not help but smile when you said you a big fan of just an acoustic guitar and a good voice.... Angelina has a ton of songs featuring just her beautiful raw vocals, no production or gimmicks, and an acoustic guitar. She has a good friend and guitar player named Egil Clausen for songs she performed in Norway and another great guitarist named Ivan Mendez for her recordings in LA. If that is what you like to listen to then there is a plethora of music from Angelina featuring just what you like and all are spectacular with or without a Microphone. Great reaction BTW.

Angelina Jordan! I would rather go blind!!!!!!! Please! And you will be!!!

Hi Bob, I'm glad you allowed a third version of "How great thou art". It is certainly not easy for your listeners to convey why a song, albeit by different singers, is listened in such a short time. Now that we know all three versions, I think you/we can understand it. They are so different that they are actually own songs. The Home Free version is acapella with great voices. Carrie Underwood almost makes a flawless county song out of it. She also has a great voice. And her last note still rings in my ear.😂 And Angelina makes a very quiet song out of it. You could almost call it a lullaby. This deep voice is certainly exceptional for a 13-year-old girl. It's not for nothing that she's called the barefoot princess with 1000 voices. And you only now know two of their voices. A wonderful song, I think, and now we know at least three extraordinarily beautiful and completely different versions. Thank you very much for this comparison. Have a nice day and Greetings from Germany

nice reaction, over 140 left

Great reaction. Please react to her new version of Funny Valentine. She is now sixteen.

👍nicely done👍 What ever you decide to react to next will be the next genre you can put her in and master,,, 👣🌬🌎

Angelina Jordan The contralto's vocal range is fairly rare; similar to the mezzo-soprano, and almost identical to that of a countertenor, typically between the F below middle C (F3 in scientific pitch notation) to the second F above middle C (F5),

Yes sir I did as you suggested, Liked and subscribed. I agree with all that you said and having heard both other artists you mentioned I pick 12 year old Angelina as the most emotional but all 3 are great. Now react to 16 year old AJ singing My Funny Valentine, or 10 year old singing Feeling Good, or 12 year old It's a Man's World. Any and all will blow your socks off. Thank you from Alaska and enjoy this journey.

other than her beautiful voice, I also hope you all enjoyed our norwegian nature :D

I love your reactions! And I love Angelina, and Home Free too. So .. you’re a happy man listening to a guitarist and a singer, mmh? And when they make it “their own”? Angelina covers “California Dreaming” with this same guitarist, Ivan Mendez, at 12. You remember the Mamas and the Papas version, I should think. Really hope you consider checking it out!

Hi. Science cannot explain AJ. Actually, she comes from planet Jazz in the solar system Soul 😊😉

Man, i told you with first reaction, Angelina is the absolute best. And just think you still have 150 odd songs to sing.

If you are intrigued by her low voice , there is another young artist with a range going down to contralto, Diana ankudinova; she does astounding one of a kind , covers of Can’t help falling in love with you and Wicked Game, among others. Both these young artists are not just gifted and talented but become one with the emotions of the songs. When they ,then, share those emotions , they profoundly affect me.

There's a tonal quality to her voice that really moves me. This isn't one of my particular favorite performances of hers, although it's certainly pleasant to listen to. I'll recommend her cover of Lana Del Rey's song Young & Beautiful if you like that lower register. You really need to listen to Bohemian Rhapsody; in fact, every one of her America's Got Talent: The Champions performances is worth a listen. I'll also recommend a new jaw-droppin' performance for you: Shoshana Bean singing Make It Rain live at The Theatre At Ace Hotel. It's blues perfection.

one word and people know it. SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS

Several other have suggested that you do her latest cover, "My Funny Valentine". I totally agree, in my opinion it is her best cover to date! BUT, she also did an outstanding version 6 years ago and I would suggest that you do both versions to compare the development of her voice and skills! Really love your reactions and you have a new sub.

Yes, when I saw your others I thought of this, and so enjoyed seeing you do it! If you have the time, there is so much more from Angelina that will leave you speechless. You will not be surprised to hear that she is often accompanied by top-notch musicians, such as in this performance ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Zr4INP8yhB0.html of Cry Me a River, at 11 years old!

Yeah, you have just scratched the surface of what Angelina has done (it would be wrong to say 'what she can do ' because honestly, we don't know the depth and breadth of that)! If you're looking for other words to describe her, try insanely versatile, sometimes haunting, intense, calm, effortless, and sublime. She sings in an exposed way (as here) fearlessly. Add to that a slow tempo and a very low range and another aspect of her capabilities begins to show. She has a bunch of performances with just her and a guitar (A Million Years Ago, Always On My Mind, First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, Stay, Titanium, just to name a few). Here are few other gems you shouldn't miss: "A Man's World"(James Brown) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HEm7tGrjIKk.html , "Lovin You"(Etta James-I Just Want To Make Love To You) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y4WPbmjgUg4.html , "Feeling Good" (various) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p8kAL-sGJx8.html , and Her original "Million Miles" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3KxvwuZ7oEM.html Her original "7th Heaven" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9rLiWvwzbCA.html

There was another version of this with the same video but she was maybe around 8 or 9. Both are amazing. The younger version must have been pulled. I cannot find it on the Tube.

Here for AJ and looking forward to your journey thanks

Now that I've finished watching your reaction, I should point out that you can hear both an original take on a classic song _and_ the same guitarist who accompanied her here (Ivan Mendez) if you react to her cover of the Mamas and the Papas' "California Dreamin'", found on her CoverChannel (i.e., "Angelina Jordan CoverChannel"). The basic arrangement she's using seems to have been inspired by the version Sia sang for the _San Andreas_ soundtrack. But, as usual, Angelina really "makes it her own". She was 12, BTW. And even though Ivan looks pretty young, he was more than twice her age at the time (probably in his late 20s, because he was in college in 2011).

Yes, kudos to Ivan Mendez on the Guitarre. He later said they mostly did these home videos in just one or two takes. Usually by her suggesting a song, and then it was just following her. My song suggestion: Jolene. Angelina Jordan: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zEFiRpUiL2Q.html Janet Devlin: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7GuHizph2YM.html

Angelina how low can you go do you like this Bob She always pays respect to the song she singing One place it was.almost to low but she but is was all good

If you enjoy a good vocalist and guitarist you are in for a treat . First when she teamed with Egil Clausen and then at age 12-13 with Ivan Mendez, who was playing in this piece. You should check out her version of Californian Dreaming (beautiful)

Very enjoyable reaction and I also loved learning about the dictotape, which I had never heard of. Angelina's voice captivates me and hugs my soul. When I first started listening to Angelina, I always watched the video and often it would make my brain hurt. How could that voice becoming from such a young girl? Once I bought nice headphones and just listened to her music and not watched the video, did I understand how emotional I found her music. I, along with other angels, have suggested reactors provide a link to the original video (with Angelina don't worry if it doesn't come from either her Official or Cover channels) and to her Official RU-vid channel (thanks for doing so). Since few viewers read the description then we suggest you verbally encourage viewers to use the links you have provided.

She’s that very rare thing, a natural contralto..this is kind of her pocket and yes I believe she based it on the Elvis version..same key..subd.

Great reaction,you really look at the artist and what makes them unique.You might want to check out her jazzy cover of MJ's Billie Jean where she is in full creative mode.Also here's a link to an interview with Angelina's LA guitarist Ivan Mendez,where he talks about what it's like to work with Angelina,and what her process is for creating covers. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2uQyt2T3ayE.html

Angelina Jordan Astar was born Very low register contralto -some voices can reach the ( D )below middle C (D

hi there - if you like Frank Sinatra i suggest you look to Angelinas Cover of "You make me feel so young" this Duett she sang solo and good lord my eyes where flooded with water greetings from Germany

The 3 version series was terrific! reverential worship.... she could have rocked the heck out of that but she purposely reduced that to the most modest that she could possibly muster.

Lol you have your work cut out for you alright, but i promise you will love every minute. Does not matter if you listen to her once or a thousand times, each is as good or better then the last.

Now listen to her high register also haha she defies explanation.

Tray when she sing, Autumn Leaves 😊

She was 14 when she recorded that song

Really nice reaction 👍👍👍

Angelina Jordan at age of 10 in G

Yes she can reach lower part of the contralto range, and in the same key as Elvis
