The amount of emotion and feeling she puts into that one brings tears to this old greybeard's eyes. I pray she never learns from personal experience just what this song is really talking about.
Hard to believe this performance was 10 years ago. Angelina took one of the most notorious songs in history and made it sound like a lullaby. She said she chose this song for her audition because she fell in love with the melody. As great as this performance was, Angelina improved expodentially over her next 3 performances, to win in a landslide. The smallest act of kindness can have a huge positive impact.
Such a great idea to play this video! Yes, this was the moment the world first took notice of this very young artist whose poise and confidence was on display for all to see. Even at the young age of 7 years old the soulfulness within her transformed into a feeling of love so strong when she sang to us our hearts accepted her love before our heads had any idea what was going on. As you can see she was already singing barefoot because of her desire to do so (which she still continues to do to this day). The young girl she befriended when she was 6 years old who she gave her shoes to because she didn't own a pair of shoes touched her so deeply she never wants to forget her and to remember there are children in this world who need help and when we see her perform barefoot it might encourage us to do what we can to aid those in need. Interesting thought process for a six year older, don't you think? (!) Deadgrl, continue to enjoy her, she sings 'for us' and when we listen to her she takes us into her world and it's a beautiful place, isn't it? We can't see it but we feel it.
She slays me when she tightens her grip on the mike and dips down a bit singing, "Deep in my..... heart"....... Angelina just rips the empathy/compassion right out'a you!
Same competition BANG BANG in my opinion the definitive version of the song because of the synchronicity of a tiny girl with flowers in her hair singing the lyrics "I was 5 and he was 6, we wore horses made of sticks" in that voice.... stunning.
Angelina performed 3 other songs on the talent show which she won at age 8. I’m a fool to want you, Bang Bang and Summertime. Please react to those as well.
Thank you for sharing our mini jazz queen, must have watched this hundreds of times still love it just as much , never been a 7yr old jazz master auditioning with a Billie Holiday song , so confident, calm , poised unfazed by anything giving us all her heart and soul like only she can, didn't think I could love her more but it never ends ,she is my favourite artist ever ,no one is even close, I have listened to her every cay since I discovered her and it has been an absolute joy and honour to be an AJ angel .💗👣
Thanks for the beautiful emotional❤️🔥 reaction and comments Dead Girl👍👌👏 my fellow Angelina Angel 😇 Angelina is so similar with Billy Hollidays original Voice !! Stunning ! Brilliant ! Heartwarming ❤ and Soul ✨️Touching!! All performance an Norways talent show was stunning from our little Angel 😇 Angelina! I've been following Angelina 😇 musically 🎸now almost 2 years since she won Norway's go talent show at the age of 8 with songs by Billy Holliday! Nancy Sinatra Bang Bang and Georges Gerswin Summertime song whereupon Angelina won the song competition with 46% of 10 finalists!!! The youngest winner ever!! For me, as a 45-year-old music 🎶 🎸 connoisseur now (67.5), Angelina 18 years is the best jazz 🎺 singer 😲 artist and songwriter 📝 and storyteller in our time, world 🌍 and generation! She brings a new style of music👸🎙🎺 🎸 and gives us hope in the bad music industry 🎶our Angel 😇! ❤✌️☮️ and kidness 😃 from Switzerland 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭👋🙋♂️😇👣👰♀️👸🎙🎸🎻🎷🎺❤️❤️🔥🔥💥💎
Still a great artist since she was a child. This was my first time I found her four years ago and was astonished how much great stuff she had already released. Now waiting for much more of her this year at 18y🎉❤
Can't believe you have not seen this before, great reaction and it should get better with each of the next three performances in the NGT: “I’m a Fool To Want You” at 7! In Acapella where it's clear this competition is already over, next Bang Bang where she ups the game, last and most spectacular Summertime. it will blow you away. ❤❤❤👣😇🌹🌹🎶🔥🔥
pure talent !! You have to see her at 6 years old doing the version of Tom Jones (I Who Have Nothing) for the first time she stepped into a studio. thanks from Argentina 🇦🇷
One of the many stories about this performance is from an interview. Angelina said her mama bought her a cute pair of shoes to wear. Angelina said she couldn't because she had promised to never wear shoes when performing until all children have shoes. Evidently mama was not pleased. Love your reactions. Blessings
Always appreciate your reactions to Angelina, yours was actually one of the first of hers I ever experienced and it was very similar to what she did to me as well, I’ve been around awhile and very few artists have hit me like AJ, thank you!
After this performance was when all talk about Billie Holiday being reincarnated in this 7 year old girl, and if you listen to Billie's original recording, when she was 29, it becomes believable that Billie performed both renditions. This 'vocal chameleon' ability that Angelina possesses has been reinforced many time times after this, for even if you listen to her 8 year old rendition of 'What A Difference A Day Makes, you come away thinking it is Dinah Washington singing the song. As I said, there are so many examples of her emulating the vocals of A-List artists that it's truly mind boggling.
Thank you Deadgrl, for this beautiful reaction. This was the first time I heard this little princess sing, 10 years ago and I have been absolutely fascinated ever since. In all these years I have heard it thousands of times in hundreds of splendid interpretations and yet every time I see this first performance of his at the age of 7, it still moves me, as the first time, with that wonderful concentration of humility, simplicity, candor, sympathy and talent. This girl is something unique and is so immersed in her singing that she manages to convey it to our soul. For me it is an angelic song that is renewed every time. 💛🧡❤
Hey Deadgrl great to have you back to see where it all started. This was Angelina's introduction to the world and what an introduction! Can't believe you hadn't done this yet. It was a delight watching you react to it. She can bring tears to ones eyes. Mom Sarah was certainly aware her little child was going to belong to the whole world now. ♥👣 Here is a quote from Angelina (7y) from an interview with TV2 after her Auditions NTG 2014. "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. " ♥👣👸🏻🎷
Somebody forwarded this to me about a decade ago when it went viral , and I have been her fan ever since. I am ready for her to become super famous, but I'm not sure how that works. Thank you so much for your lovely reactions to this and other videos, you're always so emotional and excited. That's what reacting is all about, not just sitting there as if it's some type of dry lecture, but really getting into it and showing us how you are affected by it. Please keep on reacting. This is such a great channel!
at about 2 years after this at Christmas time when Omer Bhatti was visiting his friends the Jacksons in USA he introduced AJ's singing to Michael's mother. Omer is the judge that was interviewing her.
English is Angelina's third language of 4. Each performance went viral, and she won with 46% of the votes. She was declared a National Treasurer after she won. She still is! And here is the public arrival of the greatest female vocalist to ever live. Our barefoot Princess of a thousand voices, the Queen of Jazz. She is a gift to us all.
You should have turned on the English subtitles to understand the Norwegian dialog. Viewers can use the original video link to check it out themselves.
I've recently been getting into Angelina Jordan and Aurora. But I have a couple other artists that I've gotten into as well that I've noticed you haven't reacted to. So I figured I'd make requests. NF and Sasha Alex Sloan. 👋🏼✌🏼
Really surprised you haven't reacted to "I'm still holding out for you" It will end up being one of your top favorite Angelina songs. She was 10 years old. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dv8mjCh5iiE.html
You need to check out, “Meat Loaf”, you can thank me later. Meat Loaf - I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) (Official Music Video) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9X_ViIPA-Gc.html
who lets a seven year old sing a suicide song? without any question a good performance but they should have chosen a different song. anyways, no one did this song better than eivor with ginman after dark
