Angelina literally turned this from a traditional hymn into a somber praise-driven prayer full of reverence, love, and humility. Just absolutely majestic!
She has well established her talent as unequaled. As if that isn't enough gift for one person, her personal humanity is just as epic. I can't help but adore this young human.
This is just a monumental performance in vocals from a 13 year old girl. We get to listen to this beautiful rendition of this classic hymnal and then at the end you get that little girlish "bye" from Angelina....simply astounding. Another wonderful reaction and comments Shakes...enjoying the ride.
True art, not fads, trends, just pure expression of her own interests and intuition. She's the best occurrence to usher in this whole new world of RU-vid and download commerce. Imagine how many talented artists left their gift because the recording industry couldn't make a buck. Hopefully this will be the end of mediocrity. The quality is all I want now. It's hard to listen to the radio anymore
Same key (Bb Major) and register as Elvis on his 1965 album "How Great Thou Art). The lowest note she sings is C3, one octave below middle C on a piano. Simply astounding!
Because of your background I especially love your commentary/analysis. If you set a ceiling for her she will only break it, the stars are the limit for her, like you said, everyone else is fighting for second place!
The young lady with the 1000 beautiful voices. Every time she brings tears in my eyes cause it is so beautiful. Angelina Jordan Astar, this young norwegian lady is imo the best singer on the planet! I am 69 y old and have never heard a singer like her in my whole life.
Where does Angelina's deep voice come from? How does she do some of the amazing things we hear from her voice? Note that Angelina has a long neck due to her height (estimated as 6’ give or take an inch) and may have a larger larynx (i.e., voice box) than the average woman. (1) Angelina is probably a contralto with the possibility of singing at a higher level. A contralto is what the lowest female singing voice is called. This vocal range is rare. The range typically falls between the F below middle C (F3 in scientific pitch notation) to the second F above middle C (F5), although, at the extremes, some voices can reach the D below middle C (D3) or the second B♭ above middle C (B♭5). Since Angelina has made so many covers of many types of songs, it may be possible to determine her effective singing range, or the range she is willing to comfortably sing within. This would require analyzing the notes she sang across the spectrum of songs she has sung and published. (2) So where does Angelina's beautiful voice come from? Let us go over how a voice is produced per a summary of tutorials provided by the National Center for Voice and Speech. The NCVS conducts research, educates vocologists, disseminates information about voice and speech, and provides referral services to help people around the world enjoy healthy and effective vocal communications. The NCVS has a nice tutorial on voice production based upon their book "Principles of Voice Production" which goes into scientific detail that they said should include knowledge of basic acoustics and some familiarity of college physics. (3) The human voice is classified into various types, based on pitch, timbre, and various other factors that influence our perception of someone's voice, or how that voice can be used. It appears that one critical aspect of voice production has to do with one's fundamental frequency (i.e., Fo). Baby cries have a Fo of around 500 Hz (roughly corresponding to the note B4). Child speech ranges from 250-400 Hz (notes B3 to G4). Adult females tend to speak at around 200 Hz on average (about G3), and adult males around 125 Hz (or B2). (4) As one would probably assume, one's larynx is quite important to voice production. The larynx is the hollow muscular organ forming an air passage to the lungs and holding the vocal cords in humans and other mammals. It sits at the back of the throat, above the windpipe (trachea). The larynx is supported by rings of cartilage, which in men (and occasionally a woman) form the bump of the Adam's apple. The vocal cords are stretchy bands of tissue attached to the inside of the larynx. Air passing in and out of the lungs is pushed through these cords. Everyone's larynx grows during puberty, but a girl's larynx doesn't grow as much as a boy's does. In fact, a man's larynx grows roughly 40% larger (taller and in length) than does a woman's larynx. This larger larynx gives men deeper voices than women. But there is a tad more involved than just the size of one's larynx. (5) Note that the 40% size difference of the larynx between men and women does not account for the roughly 60% difference in production of the Fo. Thus, there must be something else. The key variable is the length of the part of the vocal folds within the larynx that is in vibration, which is called the effective vocal fold length. The difference here between men and women is about 60% and we have some indication of where the pitch difference comes from. (6) Along with pitch, another variable used to classify voices is their quality, or timbre. Timbre is related to the length of the vocal tract. Different vocalists have different vocal tract lengths. To a limited degree singers can control the tract length by raising or lowering the larynx. A longer tract results in a 'darker'-sounding voice, while shorter tracts will make the voice sound 'brighter'. Note that the length of the vocal tract is largely determined by nature. Some of us are born with necks that are swan-like, while others are quite short. (7) So, it appears that Angelina has been gifted with height and both a longer neck and possibly a larger larynx than the average woman. She thus has lower pitch to be able to produce a lower Fo, plus has a longer vocal track to produce a 'darker'-sounding voice. Add to this the fantastic breath control and a wonderful sense of musicality, and one has a singing prodigy. We all are fortunate to be alive to witness such a rare combination that, in my opinion, is producing a new singing genius.
Thanks for your insights Shakes. You want power from her voice react to The Show Must Go On by Queen and there are lots more where she lets it rip. But we’ll get to those…the rabbit hole is very deep and you’ve just started falling.into it and obviously having a great time 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is insane ! We are talking about Elvis Presley Gospel singing territory and she holds low register even longer than 'The King' did when he would do the song. Many don't know that Elvis started in Gospel before becoming the 'R & R' King.
Firstly, like your reactions to the Empress of Jazz, or Barefoot Princess as some have named her; whatever name she is lovingly called by her many many fans, Angelina is truely a phenomenal talent. She is an amazing live performer and has done several songs that show her belting range. Feeling Good sung when she opened for Norah Jones - she needed to get above an energetic drummer - live. The Show must Go On, Queen cover - at home. Diamonds Are Forever, Shirley Bassey cover - live. It's A Man's World, James Brown cover - live. Essentially it is her control over the nuances of whichever song she is singing and she only belts when she thinks it is needed - this is her musical genius and what separates her over other singers!
Once again loved yr comments ..She has sung well over 150 cover songs covering well over 70 different artists and there is so much moreto come. She is a Genius on so many different levels.. the full package of Greatness..The poster child of Inspiration. She has covered Whitney Houston "I have Nothing" "Yellow Brick Road" Elton John Where she belts with such control on both. Link below of both great performances #Angelinajordanwhitneyhoystonmashup (4:53) #Angelinajordanyelliwbrickroadversion (5:37) A.G.T Performance
Been watching a lot of basketball lately and watching the college kids play it's been a lot of fun. Watching them swish in those three pointers is a thing of beauty. When Angelina sings the three pointers she shoots go swish and never even hit the rim. When this video started and she shot her first three pointer she floored you immediately within, what, 5 seconds? On the serious side, Shakes, I know what you mean about her expressing herself in every way. I don't believe she will ever be stuck in a groove. Right now it is still a potpourri, a bag of tricks. She's having fun. She's experimenting. And, so forth. When her career officially takes off what you are suggesting will take place. To be a "five tool" player is the ultimate praise an athlete can receive and Angelina will be in that group of artists who excel in whatever they do. All of a sudden Ray Charles comes to mind. Will we eventually hear Angelina sing 'Georgia'? Wow. Btw, Philippines? I had no idea.
Sorry forgot to say, the reason she sang this, is the way the originanl song was sang in, meaning key, she always sing the song in the original key it was written in. I ashore you its not easy to do.
She has a very rich vocal toolbox and she can blast. She showed that with her cover of Whitney’s ‘I got nothing’ also at the end of her live indoor TV performance of ‘Feeling good’ she gives an impressive blast. She sometimes chooses to do so, but not too often. In the song ‘You make me feel so young’ she goes even a little lower. About not going to be surprised anymore…. forget it, enjoy being surprised about every time :-)
Shakes, if you'd like to hear Angelina let loose, try I who have nothing by Whitney Houston! And if you haven't done them already, it's a man's world, and Lovin you. Angelina is the barefoot princess of 1,000 voices so you have hundreds more to go!
Gracias por la reacción, con tu comentario te has ganado un 10 musical. Angelina necesita una canción propia en balada, siempre dije eso a los músicos, grupos musicales y cantantes: hacer cosas difíciles es difícil (por ejemplo virtudes con la voz, arreglos musicales, figuras con el instrumento) pero lo MAS COMPLICADO Y DIFÍCIL ES HACER ALGO FÁCIL, ÚNICO Y BELLO YA SEA EN LA MÚSICA O EN LA VIDA. En la música por ejemplo solo hay 22 notas, 7 principales. Sobre esa base en miles de años pocas baladas han llegado a la "cima de la montaña", abrazos
Shakes, I believe Angelina was twelve in this video. I was was dumbfounded when I heard this performance for the first time. I couldn’t wrap my mind around the fact that this depth of sound is coming from a young female vocalist.
Hi Shakes P !! Thank you for another awesome reaction to AJ! I look forward to every single one you do. Your background puts you (in my mind) into the league of respected and knowledgeable reactionists, and I appreciate your reviews of Angelina's work. You mentioned she should do a few "power ballads" - while there is a little ambiguity of what qualifies as a power ballad, I believe she has. You'll get there - I know you're following your donated requests, and there's no rush. Everything she does is magical and brilliant and unbelievable in its own way, and there's no perfect order to watch her work. What you're doing is perfect. Can't wait for more from your channel. Be well, and thanks again! Peace!!
Great news on the monetizing. Hopefully things continue smooth now. Your the 2nd, to my knowledge, reactor to feel Angelina is setting up for one of the greatest of all time. Aces said there’s always silver because gold is already taken! I feel that! Anyways great job as always. Thanks for giving us in the US eastern time. Great thanks great time to be alive stay safe and blessed.
have you heard her Whitney Houston tribute/cover "I have nothing " . You'll have your power ballad, but please don't blame me for the injury to your jaw when it drops on the floor..
She does a song at an event called "Sing Along at the Border" and it is held In Halden, Norway at the site of an ancient fortress very close to the Swedish border. Many international and local artists are invited to perform The attendees are given the lyrics sheets and are encouraged to sing along. If liked this the one at this festival is even better.

Hi TRS, thank you for that awesome reaction & comment to (12) Angie (when filmed). Even though you think you wont be amazed, you still will be. =) Please react to these 2. “Lovin' You” - Proysenfestivalen 21.07.2017 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y4WPbmjgUg4.html Angie’s (11) from “Just Want To Make Love To You” originally written by Willie Dixon 1954 & covered by Muddy Waters & a lot of other big name blues singers also. Angie changed the lyrics & made it more age appropriate & also made it really awesome a bit modern style blues with a nostalgic feel also. Angie is sing the opening song to her concert at (11.) “You Make Me Feel So Young” cover by Frank Sinatra ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MQN3ecsutLs.html She’s 13. She did her hair & clothes in the era of the song. She's singing this in a type of duet style, singing in both male & female parts. This will really blow your mind. Her range in this song gets down into her lower lower register into the 2nd octave.
Sorry man, but your not even close to hear what she is doing, i am not a big jazz fann, i p[ay bues on th guitar. The vibreto that she got at the right time, the grid(distotion) and load going soft into frazes, no dude, its realy not the same level. And the main thing about her is that vibratto, its not norman for that age
