GINX Reacts | Angelina Jordan - I Put a Spell on You 

It doesn’t matter what order you choose to listen to Angelina. From 7 to now 18, she will mesmerize you, make you smile, make you cry again, and just make you happy to listen to her everyday. Pick anything you like: any title, any age, any genre. You just watched Angelina give you the old school blues this song requires. She inhabits different genres just as convincingly and authentically as you saw today. For most people, their musical life changes the day they discover Angelina.

She came into the spotlight on Norway's Got Talent, when she auditioned at age 7, and here's a video of that with subtitles. But her first studio recordings were when she was 6 while attending the Oslo Waldorf School and participating in the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts after-school program. Here's a video of her recording "I Who Have Nothing". Angelina Jordan - Gloomy Sunday audition - Norway's Got Talent- English subtitles ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d3gSho9yf88.html Angelina Jordan - I Who Have Nothing - Complete performance (subtitles) You have to turn the subtitles on yourself with the closed caption button [cc], and they don't start until she is done singing and asks, "Was it good?" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RjQZKBpVaes.html

Angelina was 9 years old in this performance - Her nationality is Norwegian but is fluent in English even at this age - This song was not arranged for her - she wrote the vocal arrangement based on listening to the original Screamin' Jay Hawkins version and communicated to the band how she wanted it to be played - in fact, at the beginning of the video you see Angelina writing down some last-minute changes and it is read by the bandleader. You also notice that her own handwritten notes are on the music stand in front of her as she sings. For more insight into how Angelina works, here is a rehearsal video with some of the same band members at the same age (9 yrs old) - You will see that she is aware of what each musician is doing and communicates to them what she wants to do. The first thing she says is that she wants to start, followed by her saying she wants to start over, later she tells the pianist that the key is too low and that she wants to raise it a half-tone, then at the end of the song she changes the ending on the fly. The spoken language is Norwegian: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-80f3t3dmBbk.html

Angelina has been warming our souls for a long time. Many of us Angels can't go too long without hearing her voice as it just brings a level of comfort like no body else can.

I was advising you not to eat anything while doing this review so food doesn't fall out...now you understand. The power and control as a 9 year old is unfathomable ❤❤❤❤❤

Angelina was near her 9th birthday when she created her arrangement and gave this remarkable performance. The musicians lovingly called her 'the boss' as she knew exactly how she wanted to sing the song. I love the very end of the video with Angelina reflecting on what she just did. She is blessed with a set of skills unlike any other I know of. It is like she has a connection with musical heaven, given all the skills of the greats from decades past and also fully understanding mature human emotions. I look forward to your future reactions.

Let the wheel pick for you...there is a lot more continuity in her development than you may imagine. Yes, you can tell that her voice matures along the way, and that some of the techniques improve, but...but...what is there at every turn is her respect for the original, her unique vocals and arrangements, and how she (as many have said) upgrades or improves on the song by infusing the lyrics with emotion and putting her stamp on the performance...across many genres, many artists, older and newer songs... It just goes on and on. I have returned to listen to many, many performances and found them just as enjoyable as the first time I heard them. I listen to her everyday. I will be 81 years old next month, and I can attest to the fact that Angelina is the closest thing to an ANGEL I have ever listened to...so go enjoy yourself!

None of us thought this was possible. By this age she was already a world class artist. Spin the wheel, you can't go wrong. Angelina is a once in a lifetime force of nature.

You got it. It's incredibly moving to experience that level of purity in voice, effort, talent, control, her living and breathing such deep feelings, and see it wrapped in such a young person. And we feel this in many many of her songs. Later we remove the very young factor and she still amazes and touches us deeply. Then you learn that she has helped raise millions for needy children.

Thanks for the wonderful and aware reaction, Ginx. This song is one of the important steps to understand the singularity of Angelina's talent. It's unreal like her, from a very young person, she choice to use her incredible passion and understanding through music in a splendid way, especially for these legendary songs. She is definitely the only 9-year-old girl who understands and has the courage and the ability to sing this song from Screaming' Jay, so imbued with his power, and reorganize it according to her musical sensibility and vision. I sincerely believe that this it's the most beautiful version of this song, over 60 years since it was written and there are much of versions of it, also interpreted by great singers. 💛🧡❤

Oh, man… if _this_ one got you tearing up… let's just say, you have some very interesting reactions in your future… 🤗

Angelina was 9y 2m at the time of this performance. Earlier you saw the notes that she wrote to the bandleader regarding her chosen key, and the arrangement. By the end of the studio session, they were calling her "The Boss"!

Before you started the video you said "I'm ready, I'm ready!" And I said "NO, No you aren't !!! You will never be ready! She will hit you with a surprise that shocks you inner senses every time! She's been doing it to me for almost 10 years and thousands of times listening to her music and she still gets to me every time I hear a new song or a new rendition of one she has done before. She has done Unchained melody (my all time favorite song since I first heard it back in the 1950s) several times (at 8, 9, 11, and 3 times at 17). I was setting 30 feet from her when she sang it at her concert on Sept 22 2023 and before she finished the first line, I was crying! She slowed it way down, added more emotion than I had ever heard even from her and by the time she finished I knew she had just done that song better than anyone else! Then 3 months later at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony she shocked me again with the same song, but she did it very differently, and put an entirely different meaning to the song (more like the original from the movie "Unchained" in 1955)! I still cannot decide which version is best! You really should listen (react) to the Nobel peace prize version to see what she sounds like today (4 weeks ago)!

I say go ahead and indulge in taking it slow, starting with the younger years. There are thankfully 100s of videos of her, and she's not going anywhere. So many of the Jordan videos are good 'out of the box' and you won't need to look deeply to find the treasures. They're littered like glinting sand all over the shore. That said, I don't think doing modern AJ stuff and then going back will really be a problem. People have done it both ways and each performance stands on it's own. After all, we're not talking about the development of a single style or skill, but a cornucopia of styles and voices that each one are tuned to the specific kind of music required. Yes, there is progression over time, but it isn't as steep as it is broad if you consider how many different styles she's covered and composed. Have a great journey I'll be watching along. I'm a musician and tech so your engineering background is very relatable.

don't you find that listening to young Angelina is actually a .... confrontation? No other singer has arrested me like this young lady. Her a-Capella audition of Billie Holiday's classic I'm A Fool To Want You was for me... evidence of something more than mere human talent. There I said it.

I must have listened to this performance 30 times in the weekend I discovered it. Many a tear fell from these old eyes as well; the natural reaction when something divine finds its way into our universe. It's the song that made me an Angelina fan. I'll point to two of the qualities that set Angelina's music apart from that of her peers: first, her vision for the song is absolute and not swayed by impediments such as physical age and size; second, the emotional authenticity that her choices of technique and dynamics convey. She sings 100% for the song. That kind of dedication will always elevate any artistic expression. Great reaction, GINX! For something a little more contemporary, you might like her original song, Good In Goodbyes, from her recent EP Old Enough. Here's a link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zyIJguL1ZH8.html

Everybody says that they are ready but it is not posibel to be ready for Angelina in beast mode. Next: pick songs you like. You may find bad recordings and songs you dont like but never a bad performance from Angelina.

It doesn't really matter how you go through her extensive catalog of music, but it is so diverse that I recommend you start with songs you know & like already, so you can appreciate how she changes & usually improves them over the original. I've been listening to good music since the 60's, played percussion in a "garage band" for over 20 years & I've never seen/heard anything like her before. She is a musical force like no other! I already subed for your Angelina journey last time & can't wait for more reactions.

Just watch her head swing to the beat...... her facial expressions and body movements show that Angelina all in with focused commitment is so awsome. She is a true gift to us the audience!!

My Top 10 Stay - Adele Suspicious Minds - Elvis Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen Feeling Good - Michael Buble I’d rather go blind - Etta James A Million Years Ago It’s a Man’s World - James Brown Born To Die - Lana Del Rey Sing Me To Sleep/Faded -Allen WalkerStill Still Holding Out For You -Baby Fuzz

Just in case you don't know, as long as the video player has "focus", and as long as the recording software you're using doesn't interfere, you should be able to use keystrokes to pause and unpause (k or the space bar) the video, and move back (← or j) and forth (→ or l) on the timeline. That's usually a lot easier than doing all that with the mouse. Type a question mark to get help on other keyboard commands in the player.

I Remember when the original came out, loved it then, love her version. And I think she's the best female singer in the world. An 80 yr old doowop lover.

Welcome to the musical singularity that is Angelina.

Hello again, Ginx! And thanks a lot for another great reaction to our girl. This particular performance IS quite impossible to describe with words tbh. We only have SO many adjectives to describe something extremely good, and so you feel that your vocabulary isn't adequate to describe things in a way that you haven't already done before, most likely dozens and dozens of times. And if there is ONE thing you don't really want to do, it's giving the impression that she is just another dime a dozen. But it's all good, Ginx, You did a good job at it 🙂 I have probably seen a thousand reactions (not even kidding) to this performance, and so far I haven't heard anyone come up with a word that settles everything about the performance. There was this ONE reactor once who actually came up with a cool word, normally not associated with music, namely UMAMI.. Hehe I personally think it makes quite a bit of sense. As for the order of reactions to her, I think you should go through with her 4 performances on Norway's Got Talent, which she won at age 8, and also maybe her performance of "I Who Have Nothing". Her fans are quite divided about her age in that performance, some fans even use the growth (or lack thereof) of her teeth to determine her age. The common understanding is that she was 6 years old. It is a spectacular performance regardless. After those I think you should feel absolutely free to go where you want with her. For instance if you see a song you really like that she has covered, just go with that one as it is absolutely risk free. She will never let you down. At least it hasn't happened to me in my 10 years of following her. Lastly I just want to thank you for the live on Friday, as it gives your viewers a good opportunity to get to know you a little better. And I think it is awesome that you will do a part 2, though I can't join you because of the time difference. It's OK on a Friday or Saturday, but mid week is a no go for me 😉 Enjoy the rest of the weekend and take care! And don't be a stranger😆 Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

The explanation for what we all are witnessing is that it's a miracle. A gift to us all.

Great and wonderful reaction there Ginx, hard not to get overwhelmed by her vocal performance. She understands the importance in which it needs to be conveyed so the message reaches her audience. The fact that she has been doing this from such an early age is mind blowing and that the sky has no limits. Angelina is the youngest oldest, pure and raw talent to ever walk on earth.

Her birthday was three days ago the 10th of January.. she is 18 years old and still making videos. Having an Angelina Day would make a perfect birthday celebration.

She's special! Was and is;) She won Norway's Got Talent even before this!

This was the first thing I ever heard from Angelina. I had scrolled past it for two or three days as having seen the little girl and the song title I thought it was probably cute but little more. So I eventually went in cold. As you have just discovered, even being warned does little to prepare you for the reality. I ended up in tears too! It's like watching an athlete go past what you thought was humanly possible, and you are inspired by what humans can do. That's what Angelina will do for you over and over and over again! I have listened to her nearly every day since and have absolutely become a better human being by doing so.

Angelina is history in the making. I believe in the not too distant future she will be labeled the GOAT.

Thank you a thousand times for your support my fellow angel 😇 from Angelina!! our Jazz Queen 👸 and Angel 😇!! on her two You Tube channels 🙏She deserves it a thousand times over!!!

I love when people say, before reacting to this video, “I’m ready!” Nope. There’s no way you can ever be prepared for this. I assert unequivocally that this is the most powerful, moving, and impressive vocal performance by any 9-year-old anywhere, ever. I’ve seen it hundreds of times and STILL it hits me hard. Go ahead and react to any of her hundreds of videos; she is always incredible.

Earliest publicly available studion session was at school when she was six. I Who Have Nothing. She will stun you with almost every performance, especially at ten. :)

So much to choose from. Can't go wrong. You are definitely down the rabbit hole. We fans really appreciate reactors who do research on Angelina.

Thank you for a genuine reaction to our little princess. Shes not so little anymore. I've seen this performance over a thousand times in seven years and it NEVER gets old. Please keep going with Angelina. She'll blow your mind many times over. I guarantee it. You really won't believe what you're hearing. She has over 200 performances on here and not one disapoints. Her first one is in the studio at six years old. Yup 6. Go listen to it. Its crazy. " I who have nothing" . Six years old. 👍♥️

Someone described her once: An All Star Jazz Singer 8 years old with 40 years life experience. I agreed.

And just like that, another 😇 is born. Here's your 🪽 🪽

The first rule of listening to Angelina Jordan is that there is no shame in tears. Keep a box of tissues handy, because when she wants you to cry you're gonna cry. When she wants you to smile, you'll smile. You'll discover that Angelina sings the emotions of a song, not just the words and notes. She has the incredible ability to move you with her art, to communicate directly to your soul and stir memories and emotions you'd forgotten about. When she "uncovers" a song you've heard a thousand times before, all of a sudden you get it, you understand the song in a totally new way. Enjoy the journey. I'm going to enjoy watching you discover our Barefoot Princess.

What the great reaction and response to Angelina's mind-blowing performance. You have to also realize she at 9 years old arranged this song with those studio musicians the way she wanted to sing it and delivered it in the most unbelievable fashion possible. You are totally right Angelina is an old soul and it just comes out through her vocals with all the jazz nuances, inflections, rasp, vibrato and dynamics necessary to deliver a song that is this iconic. She sounds like a season professional that has been singing for decades and witnessed all to sing this song in her life. She understands the lyrics and its uuncanny to watch ! . At that age to be able to deliver a meaningful, emotional, dynamic performance with all the control necessary. id unbelievable ! She is a child prodigy that it's for sure and as you continue your journey in the rabbit hole through all the years you will always come back to little Angelina when she was 9 or 8: or 7 or 6: years old and fall in love with our barefoot princes as we all have over the past 10 years. Keep posting my friend. You are so much appreciated and I love your response and your reaction because they come from your heart and it's so amazing to witness. Sending you much thanks and love from Canada 👍🇨🇦❤️❤️

Loved your reaction! You should check out Angelina on Norway's got Talent audition at age 7 singing " I'm a fool to want you "

"I employ magical thinking through fine music.!!!" - Miss. Angelina "Magical Barefoot Jazz Vocalist & World Ambassador Volunteer" Jordan Hi - GINX

Excellent reaction Ginx! This girl is truly something very very special. I am so looking forward to more Angelina with you. A "Angelina" day per week is a great idea! I am all in and just subscribed to your channel. Whatever you choose next, it won't disappoint. That's practically a guarantee! Ready for the next one, see you soon!

Awesome reaction babe! She brings a lot of us to tears..happy tears :) ❤

A barefoot princess with a hypnotic voice. She was only 9 years old when she performed this song. It is her tribute to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, an American singer/songwriter. He wrote and performed it in 1956 and Angelina based her performance on the original, although she did make some subtle alterations to both lyrics and melody. As you continue your journey of discovering Angelina, you will come to realise that she does her own arrangements of most of the cover songs she sings. The differences may not be immediately discernible on first listening to them, but they are there. There may be a subtle change in tempo or tone, or more inflexion on some words, or a phrase may differ in pitch from the original. The amount of control that Angelina has over her voice cannot be measured. She never hurries a song. She sings in such a way that the emotions in the lyrics are felt by the listener. In this video did you notice:Angelina finishing some notes and handing them to the pianist, who smiled as he read them? They were her wishes (instructions) to the band how she wished therm to play the music. In the band, she was called a boss.

Now I recommend listening to "Song For A" to understand why Angelina is called the girl with a thousand voices.

I broke a landspeed record clicking on this🎙🥰🔥🇨🇦😇

AJ is the rare artist that gets better the younger you go, or the older. My favorite song from her is always the last one I've listened to.❤ Have fun!😊

Hi young lady thank you for your she has many many more songs that will impress you so keep listening

It is often overwhelming emotionally to watch, feel, and hear AJ sing. For me, it's a combination of some sort of existential conundrum - there is no explanation for this! And then there is the emotion that she makes you feel. And then , she wiggles her way into your heart because of her nature - her humility and generosity...you feel so proud of her like she was your own child. This girl can heal you and heal the world!

"You wonder how it's possible…" Almost those exact words were spoken by one of the judges after her "Gloomy Sunday" audition on _Norske Talenter_ [Norway's Got Talent].🙂 You didn't suggest anything like this, but if you (anyone) were a very skeptical person, you might think, "Of course this is phenomenal… it's a studio recording. She probably sang this 100 times to get takes that were that good." Then you see her singing in front of a live audience on a (prerecorded) TV show (like AGT:TC, from your first AJ reaction), and you think, "Eh… it wasn't _broadcast_ live. They could have improved her vocals 'in post'." Then you see/hear her performing on a live broadcast (TV or radio), and you think, "Well… I don't _hear_ any autotune, but maaaybe…". Then you see her singing in rehearsals, singing in unedited videos she shot at home, singing in live streams, singing along with karaoke tracks, singing with a live musician or two, singing accompanying herself on piano or guitar, singing a cappella, singing just walking down the street or through a parking garage… and even singing when she was friggin' 1½ years old (which I talked about under your first AJ reaction). At some point, there is simply no other alternative explanation for what you're seeing and hearing: this girl was quite simply born to sing. (BTW, we don't know how many takes it took to get this audio you just heard, but for reference, just about a year later she recorded her version of Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black" - posted online as a similar "studio recording session" music video the day after it was recorded, and relased as a digital single and then on an EP - in damn-near a single take. Raw footage recorded in the studio control room by her grandmother reveals [or stongly suggests, anyway - about 10% of the song has been removed in 3 edits, presumably for copyright reasons] that almost the entire second take was used, with only a single line needing to be dropped in from the first take. Based on that and other evidence we have about how her studio recordings were done "back then", I'd wager that she only had to sing this 2 or 3 times all the way through, and then maybe do a few short retakes on any parts that she hadn't already nailed. Certainly, I would not expect the total number of audio takes that they actually ended up using to be above, say, 5. And I would say there's a decent chance it was 2 or fewer. [Of course, the visuals are a different matter. Who knows how long it took to capture all of that.])

I have fallowed this young lady for about 10 years. She never disappoints and that's because she really loves her art and loves sharing it with her fans. She has great family support, and it shows. Depending on what you want, Young, 6YO her first time in a studio singing "I who have nothing", showing that what she has is Natural because what she does you can't learn in 10 years. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RjQZKBpVaes.htmlsi=SXy8KX3fsHkLj3ep Here is a great show of both her vocal control and POWER Covering Etta James "I'd Rather Go Blend" at age 13, Fun story She got a new mic and this was how she "Tested it" plopping down on a couch and belting out this Pure Magic like it was nothing. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pK8mMXQb3_I.htmlsi=B3BqGuzexw7EecAq Here is one of her first originals, a heart felt tribute to her grandfather. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3KxvwuZ7oEM.htmlsi=shILs50dGJnY-gCm "This song is dedicated to anyone who has lost a loved one. I wrote this song thinking about all the great memories I had with my grandpa and how much it hurts to lose someone. I hope this song finds a place in your heart, as it comes straight from mine". - Angelina Jordan's dedication on the release of Million Miles. I can't help but fiend credence in the notion of reincarnation or she has 3 verry talented Guardian angels Billie, Etta and Amy. In any event she shares her love and pure joy in her ability and it shows in how she can hit her fans right in there feelings every time.

PURE JOY is the only way I can describe Angelina. She is the greatest I have ever heard in my life, and I am thankful every time I hear her. Her voice goes straight to my soul. Her EP is PHENOMINAL!

I think what you wanted to say but couldn't, is Breathing Taking and Heart stopping, the same thing we all experience when we hear this young lady sing, Great Reaction, you got my 10:12 Attention for all your Angelina Reactions and Journey 😊

Angelina Jordan 18 years old Recognized and admired by world-class musicians, composers and singers (many, many Grammys and Oscars) Republic Record Universal Music, the largest record label, gave her an exclusive studio just for her in Los Angeles Angelina Jordan is her top priority artist: (Ariana Grande, Anitta, Taylor Swift, Wekeen....etc) Her 7 new songs are co-written by Angelina Jordan. , including their latest extraordinary single "Our Time, Acapulco, México

Every day is Angelina Day for me.

I like a reactionist who really understands the talent here. And you clearly do. I have heard everything this girl has done, and she is a mind blow! Many times, with an old school mic, always barefoot, black and white, no makeup. This is not about Angelina, she makes it about the music. Her voice is a slave to the music, just the way it should be!! Genius really.

"Above the water" by TRxD feat. Angelina Jordan would fit into your tech deep dive. It is the only EDM song we got from her so far. She was friends with Avicii and Alan Walker🔥🇨🇦😇

Well she only has 200 plus covers to pick from and every song is unbelievably good 👍

Angelina makes a lot of people happy! So very happy!

Thank youuu for your great reaction! Please react to Born to Die , and I'd rather go blind, both at the age of 12! 🇧🇻

I read that the studio musicians initially didn’t know she was 9 years old. By the time the finished this, they all called her boss

You have to remember that by age nine she had already been training her voice 4-6 hours a day 7 days a week for 6 years, starting at age three when Angelina started watching jazz videos of Billie Holliday and other greats with her Grandma Mery. She didn’t come by these skills without a lot of hard work. She entered an afternoon school program where she was taught to read,deconstruct and rearrange music and play the piano and the guitar. Obviously she had an extremely high IQ or she wouldn’t have been able to absorb all of that at such a young age. The only vocal lessons she has ever had have been on how to not damage her vocal cords and how to take care of them.

Well, I think I can officially say that you’re an angel now. The barefoot princess absolutely an angel from heaven.

Tears of Joy!

To me this goes far beyond talent: it is a gift Angelina has. In an interview in 2014 (she was 8 at the time) Angelina said "I think music has found me". And in another interview, when she was about the same age, "For me singing is like breathing". Since she was 8, Angelina is heavily involved in every arrangement of the songs she sings or, like this one(!!) she writes the arrangement herself... That little paper at the start of this video are her instructions for the musicians. Isn't that tell the story? And to this day that has not changed. No doubt: Angelina is working very, very, hard to reach her goals and her record label has provide her her own studio where she can "do her magic" whenever she feels inspiration to do so. Now Angelina is 18 and we all have to wait and see what is comming. When you like to know where Angelina is comming from: watch this British documentary on RU-vid: "Born to sing, Angelina Jordan. The early years, 2006-2014". And more recently (just a few weeks ago) "Arab Man Reacts" has made a really wonderful video "Angelina-The Next Great One" about Angelina's carrier so far. Both are very informative and worth to watch.

Please keep going with Angelina ! Welcome to the family. Get ready to be emotionally shoved around. Shes a living miracle and musical genius. 👍♥️

And quality musicians always! Her library is large and you won't be disappointed in anything you choose as you watch her grow into an iconic legend. Most of her covers are better than the originals.

Ginx thanks for your Honest Reaction. I told you she will blow you away. The Picture on the Candle at the start of the Song was "Screamin Jay Hawkins" the Original Singer of this Song. At the Start you saw her writing on the paper that is the way she arranges her song. It was a Norwegian Band. As she is getting older her voice is becoming a pleasure to liste. Some of the Original Songs are "Million Miles Away","7th Heaven" & "Old enough" her EP. The Covers which are Mind Blowing and Mind Blogging are "Stay" By Rihanna "I'd Rather Go Blind" By Etta James "Feeling Good" By Nina Simone "Yiu Say" By Lauren Dighe "Easy on Me" By Adele "Suspicious Mind" By Te Great Elvis Not to Mention " Bille Jean" & "Hela the World" By the Famous Iconic Singer Michael Jackson

It doesn't matter how many times I hear Angelina sing this, it just amazes me. She is just like a kid climbing on the playground climbers... giving it everything she's got. You have now entered Angelina's idea of play, though she's deadly serious and a little pro, even here. I'm tickled by the thought of Angelina and her Grandma Mery, or her Mom, coming across Screamin' Jay Hawkins' version. It's pretty crazy. I would love you to listen to "Summertime". It's George Gershwin's version, sung for the finale, and the win, on Norway's Got Talent, at seven years old. I am thoroughly enjoying your reactions. You're fun and appreciative, and knowledgeable. I hope you keep enjoying giving the reactions, as much as you do now, because it's contagious!

More proof positive that there are either, no words or not enough words, to describe Angel Jordan!

Well Gina, that’s exactly what happened to us all the first time we heard Angelina, and no, we can’t stop listening! Looking forward to your next time, time and time again!

Keep in mind, that this is from the original " Screaming Jay Hawkins" not the Nina Samone one everyone is used to. There is so much to say about her, but I'll just mention two. First her professionalism at 9, and second WHAT does a 9 year old girl know about Jay Hawkins. The sophistication of this Child. I will love seeing you do more AJ reactions. The Angelina Wheel, that is the most original idea l have heard from a reactor staring down the rabbit hole. How about do an Angelina Monday off her 200+ list randomly.

Pure musical Dynamite !!!

Super reaction.....Over 8 years following this ANGEL.

The young legend!

Its 1/13/24 and this is STILL the greatest thing I've ever seen. 🤯 Seven years later.

If you Did one Angelina Reaction every day, it would take you over 7 months to complete her Catalog of Songs

@GINX Media. Don't worry about the tears. It won't stop. even after many times of hearing the same songs with AJ. There's only two ladies in this world that make my face leak, (without my control) and there doesn't seem to be anything I can do about that, except for maybe not listening to them. Of course AJ, the queen of Jazz is one of them. And there is such a huge list of material available from her. But: There is another amazing singer, who is known as the Queen of blues, The other lady that also has the effect of making my face leak, seemingly without my control. Who, If U are not already aware of her, is. Super talented. and one U will find has a clarity quality about her. And is also almost like Janis Joplin 2.0, But so much more polished than Janis. Beth Hart. Of whom I so much hope Beth and AJ will sometime meet and hopefully collaborate, some day. Beth also has a very large list of awesome work to get through. It's hard to figure out where to lead U to start with. And I hope U will also travel down her amazing rabbit trail along with AJ. Like AJ,,,, Beth also makes songs her own,,, and also in my opinion covers songs better than the original artist's. Here are a few to start with Beth & Joe - I'd Rather Go Blind - Live in Amsterdam Beth Hart - Am I The One - Live At Paradiso (The best performance I believe I have ever seen) U won't be disappointed. Joe Bonamassa & Beth Hart Official - "I'll Take Care of You" - Beacon Theatre Live From New York. (and of course there is also Joe Bonamassa added in the mix) as a huge bonus. There are many more. But that is a good place to start with her.

Discovering Angelina is a life changing experience.

When you witness her many different styles in music, you begin to understand how she came into HER NEW STYLE OF MUSIC. As a vocalist, you have first to understand the different styes before you can mix them into your own.

She is gifted.

Ginx, I have watched this video over 100 times just to see the reaction on the faces of new reactors! Your reaction was pure gold, "how" can a 9-year-old girl's voice sound like an old Jazz singer, unreal? The back story at the beginning of the video, Angelina is writing down suggestions for arrangement changes, to allow her to add her interpretation of the song. The Studio Band was so impressed with her performance that they named her "The Boss!" One more video suggestion went Angelina's Grandmom arranged her first Sound Studio session at 6 yrs old to record "I Who Have Nothing!" What is remarkable about the recording, Angelina speaks Norwegian However, Recorded "Nothing" in English that will blow you away! Enjoy the AJ musical catalog of over 200 covers and her original Music!

I love how she finishes the jazz song in a sort of “operatic” style.

At 7 & 8 y/o, she won Norway’s Got Talent. Her VERY 1st “on stage” performances comes with these 4 performances of, “Gloomy Sunday,” “I’m a Fool to Want You,” “Bang, Bang, I Shot You Dead,” and “Summertime.” 😇🌸 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-O2bX15tYFVk.html

You witnessed something very special, and you recognized it. Kudos.

On her home planet everyone sings like that.

So refreshing to see you acting same as me, in awe. I watched her first audition and when she opened her mouth to sing, i knew she was special. I had to vote for her win in NGT 2014, because i knew she had to be shown to the world. In final she got 46% of all votes given in the final. Clear win over contestants of all ages. Maybe "Gloomy Sunday" her first song public is the way to go? There are also subtitles as the show is spoken in Norwegian. Good luck on your deeper dive with Angelina Jordan. Pick any song of her and she will surprise you in a good way. I know no other artist that can do it in the same way. Love from Norwegian subscriber! Great reaction!

Fellow angels will provide great suggestions. Two more prodigies trained from early childhood are Diana Ankudinova and Dimash Kudaibergen. Diana, "Queen Of Goosebumps," dramatic contralto with polyphonic overtones: Can't Help Falling In Love Wicked Game, +++. Dimash, "Best Voice in the World:' SOS, Stranger, Ave Maria, Sinful Passion, Adagio, +++. 7 octaves, 7+ instruments, multiple languages, degrees in composition+, absolutely mind blowing. Dimash, Diana, and Angelina are the "prodigy trifecta," each deservedly with their own rabid fan base. Jaw-droppers all. Subbed.

Such a good reaction! We were all stunned the first time we saw this performance. How is it even possible, and as a lot of other reactors, you had problems finding words :) She is a force, a talent of a generation.

I know the brain can't compute what you are hearing versus seeing! She did alot of old classics . Fly me to the moon, Summertime, gloomy Sumday! Great reaction 😅

Pure pure pure Voice!!! GENIUS!!!!!!

It's practically UNREAL everything that is going on here. The level of control and musicality she has at 9 yrs old is unbelievable. She is a BOSS!!! STUNNING!!! SHOCKINGLY fantastic!! She has been consistently amazing at every step of her career.

I've been telling everyone about Angelina for years don't get why she's not played on radio I'm telling you she is a rare talent ❤😇😇😇😇😇😇😇

The original was crazy , but this? A Masterpiece. You are right Ginx, WTF is everyone's first thought before going into shock when listening to this. Barely 9 and does her own arrangements. Simply crazy. History will prove this performance to be the perfect music lesson material. You have about 200 unbelievable performances by her to choose from. Have fun

I love this reaction. I knew this was gonna be an epic journey for you. It’s so fun to watch you experience Angelina’s genius from a fresh perspective. Look forward to your next one. Thanks.

❤❤❤💯👋👋👋

Find marry me! 😂😂 ANGELINA IS THE BEST EVER! She was born with SUPERNOVA DNA!!!! She is going to rule the world!!! And I’m here for all of it!!!! ❤🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🎉💃🏻🎉💃🏻🎉🎉💃🏻🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Haha 😊 Hey Gina! So nice to see you react to AJ again so quickly! Yeah . . . what do you say? You can't put it into words - we all know that. And this will continue to happen to you over and over and over. It's ok. Keep going. It really doesn't matter what you watch next (there are sooo many fantastic things she's done). Your "wheel" idea is a good one. Or you could do something from her NGT performances. Or she did a lot of crazy good things when she was 10-13 (Feelin' Good, Back to Black, It's a Man's World, I'm Still Holding Out for You). Or any of her early originals (Shield, Million Miles, 7th Heaven). I also suggest you wait on her newest stuff until you've heard a little bit more from her past. But honestly - you choose whatever strikes your fancy. Just keep going. Thank you for your support for AJ. Loving that you're doing these... xo

Be aware... she has two versions of a few songs, and both are worthy. For example, on her TV talent show, she has a karaoke SUMMERTIME version with a live trumpeteer, then three years later, she's in a daytime concert with a full orchestra, doing a slower version. She has an early summer outdoor festival version of FEELING GOOD, and six months later, she's on TV doing a glitzy sassy brassy version. They are all worth watching, and each occupied my Favorite Choice over time.

She started singing at one and a half years old and she started with jazz,, and English is not her native language, she also plays about four musical instruments, and writes music,, and has written a book about why she sings barefoot,, there is a Documentary, About her early years from one and a half up to 13 years old,, And it shows her singing at 1 and a half years old, A Whitney Houston song,,, Look up "" "" wrapped in a warm blanket "" "" , you might want to start with her youngest years first,, her first studio recording was at 6 years old,, Love! Love! Your reaction !!!!!
